This morning the coroner, Mr. Humphries, re sumed the adjourned inquest at the Old Town-hall into the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. Benjamin Heasman, whose body was found in the cupboard of an unoccupied house, No. 20, Elgin-place, Hackney. It will be recollected that two persons had identified the body of the deceased as their relative, and that the last inquiry had been adjourned in order to allow time for a minute examination of the contents of the stomach of the deceased. Dr. henry Letheby said he had received a sealed jar from the coroner's officer, but, being compelled to leave town, he had given it to Mr. Tilly, joint professor of chemistry at the London Hospital, with directions to make examination of half of the con tents, and to reserve the other half until his return, when they would make the examination together. Mr. Tilley said he received a sealed jar from Dr. Letheby and a 2oz. phial. The jit contained a stomach unopened ; it was in a semi-decomposed state, and on the examination of half of it he found it to contain opium. Coroner—There can be no mistake about that. Witness—No, sir. The bottle had also contained opium. Dr. Letheby said the last witness in his presence examined the other half of the stomach, and there was unmistakable signs of opium. This disappears in the living stomach, but it remains in the dead. quantity must ha ve b een ta k en, and death must h e ave been very qui c k, ow i ng to a b sence o f A large o l d rg. The Coroner said that the jury would now have consider their ve r di c t, and one of the ques tions to they would have to determine was the ques tion of identity, although that had been pretty well edThe evidence of M r . J ames Heasman and Mrs. H e asman was prettly c l ear upon that point. settled. li evidence of Dr. Gant had accounted for the bruise over the eye, which was owing to natural causes, arising from decomposition. They would remember that although the deceased left the lunatic asylum destitute of money, yet he could, by of a portion of his c l o th es , ge t suffi cient the laudanum. cendt Th is e tpo j o ury were of opinion that the body was that of d by Benj am in Heasman, and that d ea th was occa sioned poison administered by hi s own h an d w hile in an unsound state of mind. One of the jurors stated that after the conclusion sio of the proceedings on the last occasion Mrs. Banks had expressed herself to him perfectly satisfied that the body of the deceased was not that of her husband. .MARKETS—(This Day.) COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. SUGAR.—The market has opened quietly, with prices tending in favour of buyers. Stock-49,700 tons, against 68,800 tons last year. COFFEE.—The market is steady, with moderate supplies offering. Stock-14,885, against 10,293 tons a year. TEA.—Privately, a fair amount of business is passing at former rates. Small public sales have opened without alteration in prices. RICE. —The market is quiet. Stock, 15,900 tons against 15,500 tons last year. SALTPETRE.—Deliveries increasing, but the stock is 15,900 tons against 15,500 tons last year. JUTE.—Only a limited business is passing, and rates are unaltered.

OlLs.—Linseed is quiet. 33s 6d on the spot, Hull, 33s to 33s Bd. Rape in moderate request, at 35s 6d to 46s on the spot for English brown, and 36s 6d to 38s forward. Olive is dull.

POTATOES, Supplies of best regents and fl 'lces have very mu c h diminished, and now run short. Prices are consequently higher for those descriptions. Common qualities remain without much change, but generally the trade is steadier and quotations firmor. HAY AND STRAW. At Smithfield and Whitechapel there was an increased demand for meadow hay this morning, and prices ranged fully 2s per load higher. Straw in good supply, and a moderate sale. _ .._.......... ......,. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, April 21.—Sales to-day probably 8,000 bales Market quiet; prices drooping. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and t le short exchange on London is 25i. 176 c. per £1 sterling. On c.unparing these rates with the English Mint price of Li Cis. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in Paris and in London. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1868. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RECEIVING STOLEN SlLK.—Elizabeth Atkins, of No. 54, New Compton-street, was charged with receiving 15 yards of silk, value £3 17s. 6d., the property of Mr. Peter Robinson, Oxford-street, silkmercer, and 15 yards of Bilk, value £4 17s. 6d., the property of Mr. James Shoolbred, of Totten ham-court-road, silkmercer, well knowing the same to be stolen. Mr. Bale, assistant to Mr. Peter Robinson, said that the 15 yards of silk produced, of the value of £3 17s. 6d., were obtained by means of an order brought to the shop by a boy, the order purporting to come from Miss Falls, Baker-street, Portman , . square, a customer of their house. Ile had since ascertained that Miss Kalls had never sent the order. Margaret Smith, a charwoman, living in Drury lane (who had been previously charged with being iu unlawful possession of the silk, but discharged), said that the piece of silk produced was given to her to pledge by the prispner. Mr. Ball said that a piece of blue silk was also obtained from the shop. The witness said that she had pledged a piece of blue silk for the prisoner. An assistant to Mr. Brovington, of Princes-street, Leicester-square, pawnbroker, said that on Satur day the last witness caine to the shop and pledged a piece of silk, and oil her coming again yesterday with another piece she was stopped and given into custody. Henry Dawson, a plain clothes officer of the C division, and who showed great activity in the case, said, in answer to Mr. Mansfield, that he wished for a remand, as great deal of silk having been obtained from different silk mercers by means of fictitious orders. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner, and re used bail. A FRENCHMAN CHARGED WIT II ROBBERY.— Adolphe Bonin, a Frenchman, was charged, before Mr. Mansfield, with stealing a book from the shop of Mr. Hatfield, bookseller, of Tottenham-court- road. Miss Jane Hatfield, daughter of the prosecutor, said that on the previous evening the prisoner came into her father's shop and asked for the Inter national, and at the same time took a book off the counter and put it into his pocket. She told her father what the prisoner had done, and on her father taxing the prisoner with having taken a book, he denied having done so, but afterwards took the book from his pocket and offered to pay for it, but her father gave him into custody. Mr. Hatfield said that the prisoner was in the constant habit of coming to his shop for papers, and he was constantly missing books after the pri soner ►eft. Police-constable Braham, 101 E, said the pri soner gave a false address. The evidence having been read over to the pri soner by Mr. Albert, he reserved his defence, and was committed for trial.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a professor of natural magic, against the defendant, the well known Frederick 11Iacabe, the vocalist and ventriloquist, for damage caused by his ejectment of the plaintiff. The facts of the case appeared to be that the defendant, Mr. Macabe, was the lessee of a portion of the Egyptian Hall, at which place he is now ex hibiting, and the plaintiff wishing to give his enter tainment at the same place in one of the adjoining rooms, saw the defendant and his agent and entered into an arrangement for the possession of the place, and actually commenced his performances. The ven ture did not turn out a success, and the result was the plaintiff became liable to Mr.;Macabe for some arrears. The defendant, finding he could not get the money th a had been agreed he should receive, gave the plaintiff notice either to pay his wears, or he should refase him possession of the roJni any longer. The plaintiff contended that the defendant had no right to eject Lim for a certain time, which had not arrived, but Mr. Macabe took possession of the apartment, and of course the plaintiff was prevented from continu ing his performances. lie contended that the ejectment was illegal, and accordingly brought his action. The jury, after hearing evidence on both sides, gave a verdict for the defendant. HOLY TVEEK IN HUNGARY. The special correspondent of the Times, writing from Pesth on April 15, says :—The visiting of churches during Holy Week is a custom which is generally kept up by the Roman Catholic popula tion of Hungary. Above all, in the afternoon few people will pass a church without looking in and saying their short prayers. The churches are open till late in the evening, inviting every one who feels prompted to step in. But Good Friday is the day above all when regular rounds are made of all the churches. In every church one of the side chapels is fitted up so as to resemble the Holy Sepulchre: a rocky grotto, with the effigy of the dead Saviour in wood or wax underneath ; above, a couple of angels adoring the Host, which is exposed ; all round, flowers and candel abras, with lighted tapers, and in front two soldiers as sentinels. Besides, in all places which boast of a bill in their neighbourhood a Calvary is set up, at which you arrive by passing the twelve stations which, according to tradition, were made on the road. At each of the stations a pictorial representation of the event is encased in a shrine, at which the pilgrims to Calvary kneel down and say their prayers. On the top there is either a chapel or simply three high crosses, which you can see from a distance. Pesth has no hill near, and therefore no Calvary; besides, the pouring rain on Good Friday would have probably deterred most pilgrims. Th e bells, which scarcely cease ringing during the week, are silent en that day. Their joyous sound is ill suited to the mourning ; it is replaced by the dead sound of wooden rattles. Saturday afternoon is the celebration of the feast of the Resurrection, which goes on till late in the evening. Every church chooses a different hour, so as not to interfere with each other, and if the day is fine, as it was this year, the effigy of the risen Saviour and the Host are carried about in proces sion through the streets. The whole town is out, and collected in the places where the processions pass. Before every church the waxchandlers pitch their tents, while right and left of them you see rows of women selling coloured Pascha 1 eggs. These Paschal eggs form a most important feature in the Easter festivals. For days before they are the only objects of the thoughts and dreams of the rising generation. To have many bright-coloured eggs is the ambition of every schoolboy, and to test their strength against those of his companions. He is quite a hero who has hit upon one or two with very hard shells, for he may become the proprietor of many eggs, though broken ones. There is no eid of childish cunning displayed in the game. The l ta i r , :ani a lg n et d inl f ga h i ll eennisdrt relativea the t against a l teeth, e t t iss , eggs are soundel a thus au o. Sonic pinion h e i s t form ed rial is s m o some times small end against the large one. Then there is goose egg against hen egg, or turkey against guinea fowl, and he whose egg remains intact be comes the happy possessor of the broken one. But it is not only for children that the Paschal eggs are meant ; they serve as presents among grown-up young people, and are for this purpose made of sugar, and ornamented with devices and sugar bas-reliefs anything but holy. A couple of white doves, a bright nosegay, or a brightly-dressed young couple tell their own tale. Besides, hard boiled eggs are as indispensable item in the Eastern repast. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AND THE CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. The Freeman's Journal of Monday says :—" The Attorney-General favoured the world, in his own fashion, with a recondite piece of wisdom—' Tem' pora mutantur nos et mutamur in We shall give . him an example of its truth. Only a few years have gone by since a Lord Lieutenant refuse I to meet a cardinal at Dublin Mansion House festivi ties ; so runs the story, that " the chivalrous Eglin ton," whose image is the delectation of the Univer sity Club windows, would not meet such an embo diment of ' Papal aggression ' as his late Eminence Cardinal Wiseman ! ' Under which king, Bezo nian,' did that piece of knightly liberality occur ? Under a Tory Prime Minister, whose English At torney-General was an active lawyer,who, with true Tory tact, slipped into the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill a clause which gave to that insulting but innocuous enactment its bitterest sting. Times have changed since then ; year after year have shown the hide ousness of bigotry more plainly ; effete notions of intolerance grow mustier and mustier ; exclusion is no longer a recognised policy, and ascendancy has seen its day. A wise toleration now guides the statesman, and a generous libe rality regulates the policy of the governing classes. So a line of action towards the Catholic priesthood, far different from that revelled in with impunity in other days, becomes imperatively neces sary, and we recognise the working of the wise change in the minds of men. Now, again, under Tory rule, a Lord Lieutenant sits in Dublin Castle dispensing with befitting dignity, with hand open as the day,' princely hospitalities to princely guests. All honour to the feelng which seems to move the noble heart of an Irish proprietor, who lives amongst his Irish tenantry, and who has learned to compre hend what is due to Irish feeling. The Roman Ca tholic Prelate of this diocese is invited, with every circumstance of honour and respect, to share the Viceregal hospitalities, by his proper designation. ' The Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin,' is .invited to meet the eldest son of the Sovereign, the future king of these realms, and his illustrious consort. Among the distinguished personages present, to his Emi nence is given his proper place, next immediately after royalty, and all that is due to his rank is f ree l y accorded to it. Nay more, that Princess whose winning beauty and gracious mien are making Irish hearts her subjects indeed, shows especial favour to the head in this country of the Church which is the Church of the affections of the Irish people ; to his Eminence iuvitatious are repeated, and the respect and favour in which the Prince and Princess of Wales have learned to hold this Prince of the Holy Roman Church are openly and nobly evidenced. No act of the royal visit will be more gratefully re ceived than this. It shows that our royal visitors know that the way to the hearts of our Catholic people is by showing to their beloved pastors that respect and consideration which arc due to them. Long withheld, the recognition of the rank and position o f a Roman Catholic prelate in this country has now been freely and boldly made, on an occasion so monstrous that henceforth intolerance, bigotry, or weakness cannot, must not, draw back from a like acknowledgment. All honour to the Marquis of Abercorn for acting on the dictates of a noble feeling! All honour to the- Prince and Princess of Wales, who boldly despise foul faction, and show openly how they desire to win a grateful and a pious people's love." WESTMINSTER. CADGING EXTRAORDINARY. — EIizabeth Williams and Susan Davis, middle-aged women, wore a charged with begging, and Daniel Sh ar p e was charged with inciting them to beg. Wm. Woodup, an officer of the Mendicity Society, said a little before 6 o'clock on Monday evening he was in Warwick-square, and saw Davis go up to a gentleman and asked him " Please to relieve a poor woman in distress." Witness watched her walk back and stop a lady, whom she begged of in a similar manner. Williams then came down, and Davis also accosted the same gentleman, who gave her id. or id. Sharpe was standing in the Belgrave-road, with a bundle under his arm containing some clothing. Finding witness was watching him, they all three joined and proceeded down Belgrave-road together to Churton -street, Williams begging of another lady, and Davis beg ging of a gentleman in a carriage, separating as they did so. The woman Davis crossed to the left-hand side of Churton-street, and Williams and Sharpe remained on the right. Sharpe said, " Go and try if you can get something down that street there." Ile afterwards said, " awe you got any money ? She said, " I have only got one penny in the world ; I have had nothing in my - guts to-day." Sharpe said, " That woman over there has got plenty of money," pointing to Davis, " I don't care as long as [ can get enough for my lodgings." They joined again. and witness took them into custody. _ Davis declared she never beggej, but offered fusees for sale and sold a box. She had left her husband ou account of his ill treatment. Williams said Sharpe WAS her sweetheart. She was engaged to him like, and had had seven children by him, and he was a most respectable working man. They never begged, and know nothing of Davis. The prisoners were remanded till Friday, and were removed, trusting that the Lord might for give Woodup for the injury he had done them by incarcerating them. THAMES. A MARINE THlEF.—William Simpson, a sailor who looked in good condition, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of another seaman named Roderick. Yesterday evening Peter Smith, a constable in the West India Dock, saw the prisoner leaving the dock, and he looked so very bulky that he was in duced to stop him and ask him if he had anything about him not his property. The prisoner said he had not, called out " All right, governor," and was rolling out of the dock in true nautical style, when the constable seized him and dragged him into his box. The prisoner then said that he had a waist_ coat in his bosom. Smith took it from him, and found a pair of trousers round his neck, inside up like a scarf. The prisoner had a coat on under his own. Smith asked the prisoner to what ship he belonged, to which he replied to the Era. Smith took the prisoner on board the Era in the export dock, and saw the prosecutor walking the deck. He was asked if he knew the prisoner. Roderick said he did not, and owned the suit of clothes taken from the prisoner. They had recently cost him £3. The prisoner said, " I may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. I stole them." Mr. Benson asked the prisoner if he would plead guilty or not guilty. If he pleaded not guilty he should commit him for trial. The prisoner, who treated the case with great in difference, said he was gi.ulty, and that was all aboul Mr. Benson said the prisoner had committed a very serious and dastardly robbery to rob another sailor, who had worked hard for his. clothes. He sentenced the prisoner to three maths' imprison ment with hard labour. The prisoner --All right, your honour. AN ODD LAPSUS in the Saturday Review.—ln an article on Mr. Disraeli and the Ritualists, a writer in the Saturday Review sets out with an allusion to what he is pleased to call the old Ciceronian proverb, Nemo tetigit qui non ornavit —tho words being (in place of any old Cicero nian proverb) a portion of Doctor Johnson's famous epitaph on the monument of Oliver Goldsmith in Westminster Abbey— Nihil tetigit quod non ornavit. NOTABLE REPRlNTS—appear to be just now the fashion : for, simultaneously there is announced in one direction the republication of Charles Dickens's Household Words, and in another the republication collectively for the first time of the political articles contri buted by Douglas Jerrold to Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper. Part I. of the last-mentioned reissue has already made its appearance, illustrated with a portrait of Douglas Jerrold. It deserves, by reason of its sterling wit and genuine libe rality—what it will doubtless receivo—a wide and long sustained popularity. MR.

The Third Edition of " The Sun" of last evening, con taining the Latest Betting at Tattersall's and Races at York, was published in time for delivery in town at 7.15 p.m. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. NEW WRIT. A new writ was ordered to issue for Grantham in tho room of Mr. \WILT. . MARRIED NVOitE/;T'S PROPERTY. Mr. LEFF: VRE moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law with respect to the property of married women. According to the law as it at 1 reivnt stood ou marriage the w hole of the property of the wii • reverted ti the hushand, with the exeeption of real pro perty, which, however, ho could not • dispose of without her consent. With r..spect to leasehold a. .d personal property it was entirely at his disposal, ant in the event of his turning out a spendthrift, the re was nothing to prevent him squandering the whole of it. Even wages that the wife might earn by the exor cise of professioeal ability wens at his disposal, and even deposits a married woman might m die iu a savings ban . were paid over on the dimaud of the husband. _The Court of Chancery had certain powers on the subject, but circumstances had. occurred even there which showed some alteration of the law was required, and, as a proof of this, he would mention two cases which had occurred not a very long time ago. A husband be , came bankrupt, and some time after this a sum of £l,OOO became payable to his wife, but Lord St. Leouards only al lowed her to take £6CO3 the other £4OO he directed should be paid to her husband's creditors; and, in the other case, the wife had been deserted by her husband, and it became known that ho was living with an other female, but all hope of his returning to his wife had gone before the property, £6,000, d !scended to the wife as next of kin. In this case the judge of the Court of Chancery directed the husband to be paid one fourth of the amount, so that the deserted wife lost £2,000, which was doubtless spent in the most reckless manner by her husband. By the bill he asked leave to introduce he proposed to change the common law. In all future marriages the property belonging to a woman before she became a wife ho proposed should remain her property in all cases of existing marriage. The bill enacted that all money earned as wages should be paid to the wife and not to the husband, but a power would be contained in the bill by which a married woman could be sued just as a single woman. He did not doubt but that his bill would encounter some opposition, because it might be considered an invasion on the cere mony of marriage, but he hoped the subject would be calmly discussed, and when that had been done he felt that the justice of his proposal wits so great that he confidently ex pected the bill would receive the sanction of Parliament. Mr. S. MILL seconded the motion, and leave was afterwards given to bring in the bill. VOTING SUPPLIES. Mr. AYRTON called attention to the manner at present adopted of putting the question to the house while in committee of suwly, and concluded by proposing that, instead of the present practice, when it had been proposed to omit or reduce itenis in a vote, the question should be afterwards put upon the original vote, or upon the reduced vote as the case might be, unless an amendment be moved for a reduction of the whole vote. He contended that, by the course he pro-- posed, the same question would not, and could not, be dis cused twice over. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he hoped the hon. gentleman would not press the matter to a decision at that moment. With respect to the right of any member wishing to reduce any vote that might be pro posed, it was most desirable that that privilege should be within the power of every member, and as the difficulty had only been started last evening, some further time should be allowed for a full consideration of the matter before any direct alteration was decided upon by the house. Mr. CHILDERS said from what had taken place in the house last evening it was absolutely necessary that some change in the practice of the house should take place. The resolurion was postponed.

(LEFT SPEAKING.) THE FENIAN TRIALS. (Continued jrcn our First Edition) In answer to Mr. Straight, the witness said she saw Barrett about two months before the ex plosion. Had never spoken to him. When at I'ulteney-court he always had a carpet bag with him. To the Court—MN. Martin was now in prison, having threatened her life. The caram Purchase was here shown the staves of the barrel found after the explosion. They were longer than those of the barrels in which the powder he took to Pulteney-court was stored. Thomas Kernsley identified Barr,itt as having been at Mrs. Martin's house. Saw him there on the Sunday before the explosion, just as the shop was being opened. Il,td recognisel him at Millbank, although his whiskers were removed. To the Attorney-Gaieral—li.td taken special notice of the prisoner because he hal a curious way of looking about him. Mary Ann Page, living in the house opposite to Mrs. Martin's, had seen the two prisoners she now pointed out (William Desmond and English) at No. 8, Pulteney-court. By Mr. Warner Sleigh—Had only seen William Desmond there two or three times. Could not say how long before the explosion. Had not bee❑ able to identify William Desmond at Millbank. By Mr. Keogh—ilad not had any personal knowledge of English. Did not know that he was lame. 'Theresa l)uhoi®, living at No. 1, Pulteney-court, had seen William Desmond, O'Keefe, and English at Mrs. Martin's or in the neighbourhood ou several occasions. By Mr. Warner Sleigh —Did not recognisa Wm. Desmond the day she went to Milbank. Elizabeth Butters had seen Desmond and English at Mrs. Martin's. Ann Stringf , 4l said she had seen Barrett in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell several times, the last time ten days before the explosion. Janet Crawford stated that on the day of the explosion she saw Barrett come from William Des mond's house. Sarah Smithers, of the " Bells," Corporation lane, remembered some men coming for refresh ment on the day before the explosion, and believed English was one of them. James Strutten deposed that the day More Old explosion he saw two men wheeling a barrel to the prison, and believed Timothy Desmond was one. Richard Wells had seen the barrel a foot from the prison wall. Two men were standing by, and there was a truck a few yards from the barrel. The men left the spot and passed witness.
