Committees of the two Chambers of the German Parliament of Erfurt met on the 23d, to arrange the dissension which had arisen between the Chambers with respect to the vote on the budget—the People's Chamber, it will be remembered, having inserted clauses in the constitution reserving that right en tirely to itself. The Committees decided that the budget when voted by the People's Chamber should be transmitted to the Chamber of States, which should have the power to make observations on and modifications of it, but not to change the total amount. It was also decided that, in the event of the two Chambers not la,iing able to agree on the same vote, the vote of the Poeple's Cumber should prevail. Tne Vienna Gazette announces officially the re sumption of diplomatic relations between Austria and the Porte. It then gives a summary of the negotia tions on the question of the refugees. In demand ing that Kossuth and hi. fellows should be given up, Austria, says the Gazette, relied on the treaty of Belgrade, but the Sultan having addressed representations to the Emperors of Austria and Russia, it was agreed, in conformity with the Sul tan's offers, that the refugees should be removed to a part of Turkey, in which they could undertake nothing either against Austria or Russia. Then arose the question, says the Gazette, as to the dura tion of the detention. Austria proposed five years ; this was not accepted ; whereupon Austria declared that it would not admit any limitation as to time, but would interpret the treaties rigorously and literally. This declaration, the Gazette adds, drew from the Porte a note, " written in a spirit satisfactory to the Imperial Government." POLAND. A. lettor from Warsaw of the 20th, in the Post Gazette of Frankfort, states that a conspiracy had been discovered. among the Russian and Polish youth, and many students, ecnploye, and officers had been arrested in consequence. ITALY. The Concordia of Turin states that on the 21st a paitoral letter of Monsignor Franzoni, Archbishop of Turin, in which he excited the clergy to refuse obedience to the law of the land, was seized by order of the Government, both nt, the printing-office and at the Archbishop's p:lldce. It also mentions a rumour that the Archbishop, having attempted to resist the order, had been placed under arrest: in his own palace. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.)

The m ining share market has not b een so brisk this week as we have had it for some time past, although several shares in our leiding mines have changed hands. The advices received from the great mining districts of Cornwall and Devon are generallyo f a gratif y i ng character—the mines, on t he whole, lookin g remarkably well. There are several new adventures, which have recently been brought before the public, which appear to com mand some attention from the parties who have not be fore been much engaged in mining matters; and, from the hi g hl y - co l oure d reports produced, we fear are apt to captivat e t h e i n ex per i ence d . We would opinion on t h e i r assume d merits, but not venture an but recommend the public generally to be satisfied of the correctness of the represent at i ons made before they become involved. ac. Mi At the. W he al Trehane tai-monthly meeting, tbe . in eta-produced s h owed a balance of 592 1 . 13 s . i, d fAvour cf the advmturers, itA a dividend of 1 1 . per share was decla re d, which will leave a balance of 3361. - .„7d. in hand. The balance is lessened, in conse quence cf the payment of 300/. on account of new engine and crusher. There ha% been a slight falling off in her returns, but the agent's report is rather encouraging than this ot herwise. Eighty-five tans were to be sampled At a special general meeting of the shareholders in East Birch Tor, the report of Captain Carthew was read, and considered highly satisfactory, and power given to the directors to carry out his reco mmendations, by rais ing the necessary capital, according to their discretion. At the Wheal Bawdea hi -monthly account, a call of ls. per share was made for the further prosecution of the works. The balance in hand is 81. 17s. At the Wheal Henry meeting the accounts were allowed, which showed—Ores bold, 1,0194 13s. 4d.; sundries, 121 12s. 6d.i=1,0321. ss. 10d. By balance last account, The Alten Mines report, from the 19th Feb. to 22d March, has been received. The estimatel produce for February is given at 124 tons; and although the produce for the last month has fallen short of the average re turns, arising from the fluctuation in the several lodes, and the severity of the season, it is expected, from the improvements that have taken place, that the deficiency will be made up during the next month. The Linares weekly report confirms the last advice, that they had cleared the mine to new ground; and that the lode in the shaft, which is in course of sinking, is worth 6 tons of lead per frn.; and the prospects brighten as they proceed. Arrangements are being made for sending 100 tons and upwards to Seville, for transmis sion to England. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. DIVIDENDS. At the Court, Bssinghall-street. J.

JOHN'S NATIONAL SCHOOLS RENSAL-GREEN.— The site of these schools (just opened) w liberally given by the warden and fellows o f All Souls' College, Oxford. The ground has a frontage of 40 f eet towards Kilburn-lane, and a depth of about 280 feet. The schools are so arranged, that the boys enter from Kilburn-lane, and the girls from the Harrow-road, by a pathway, some 300 or 400 feet in length, which advantage was obtained by a further grant from All Souls' College, and by the Rev. A. G. Pemberton giving up a portion of his garden. Mr. Alfred Lang was the architect appointed by the committee. and under his superintendence the building was erected. The structure is of a plain but substantial character, two stories in height, the ground story being for the boys and the upper story for the girls. The school-rooms are 40 feet by 23 feat, and 14 feet in height. The class rooms are 11 feet 6 inches by 10 feet. A separate residence for the master and the mistress is attached to each end of the school building, but they have no internal com munication with the schools, and contain living rooms 14 feet by 12 feet, kitchens, 12 feet by 12 feet, and bedrooms of corresponding sizes : the closets, &c., are detached. The contract was ente re d i nto with r. Fdser for 1,2291., but the total cost, including fittings, additional fen ce walls and fencing, and a ll expenses, will be less than 1,5001. The schools will accommodate 340 children. —Builder. BELFAST LINEN TRADE. —The home market for yarns continues firm at an advance, since Friday, of from 2d. to 3d. on the :finer numbers, say from 100's to 180's. The cloth market throughout the province presents little anima tion. The business done is principally in the finer descrip tion of fabrics, for which there is no advance at all equiva lent to the increased value of the raw material. In the heavier qualities of lirer,s the tendency of the market is de cidedly downwards. The exports of linen from Belfast last week was considerable, amounting to nearly 900 packages, at an estimated value of about 30,0001. There was also a arge export trade in yarns and thread.—Banner of Ulster. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM COMPANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Pau,Lips.) Gustavus Vaughan Brooke applied, under the Protec tion Act, on his interim order. He was opposed by Messrs. Nathan, the theatrical dress vendors, and a butcher named Bloomfield. The debts amounted to 5301., of which nearly 2001. were owing to Messrs. Nathan for the hire of dresses. Mr. Brooke attributed his insolvency to having been ice. suddenly thrown out of an engagement with Mr. Watts to perform at the Olympic Theatre. He was to have received 5001., but after performing five weeks the 25 theatre was closed. He was for a long time out of em -41% ployment, but was now expecting another engagement. He had no theatrical dresses or other property to give up. He was a single man, but had had great expenses. He was surprised to find Messrs. Nathan's debt so large; he considered it exorbitant, and that SOL would have been sufficient for the dresses he had hired. He did not sup _ 7t,i pose that they could hzve been worth more than 401., as - they were only made up for show. His engagement at - the Olympic Theatre this year began on the 4th of February, and the theatre was closed in five weeks - afterwards. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS observed that it was a matter of public notoriety how it closed, as appeared - from the police reports. Mr. SARGOOD said the subject referred to by the Learned Commissioner was a recent affair. The closing of the theatre had nothing to do with the Globe office. Price - Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Why did it close so suddenly? The insolvent said Mr. Watts was taken up on a charge of embezzlement. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—That is what I said. Ts We can't shut our eyes to what is going on. The insolvent, referring to the subject respecting Mr. Watts, said, " I had nothing to do with it." Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Of course not, but was IA not the theatre closed in consequence of his arrest on a charge of embezzlement? Insolvent—lt was, Sir. :U His examination was continued, and he stated that he 34 had acted at the theatre for four weeks. The rate of salary by the contract was 251. a week. Mr. Watts had d t i aan t a ' 'X paid him 1231., an d a sum of 60/. on account of the con ,% tract. He h a d got money in advance, upwards of 1001., ske contract firas advantage v a a c n ti t o a n g . e with H omft e ri h lav a n d adt te e s v n e gw r aa y g ' s e r a e h a t i s ma o an self elsewher e . At present he was out of an engage -0 went. He h a d h ad no engagement; since the closi ng o f t h e 1 . % theatre until th e l ast fortnight. He had an engagement I l i! i end. ttoo pay believeH e Mr. Nathan's not that the at the Marylebone Theatre on certain terms—to share os. after the expenses. He entered into the engagement a with Messr s . S t i r li ng and Kinlock for a fortnight, with power on his part to continue if it was found mutually is advantageous. The contract with Mr. Watts was that `'t he should not play within twelve miles of London ; but when the theatre was closed he felt himself at liberty to engage himself at another theatre. Mr. SARGOOD said there was no doubt of it. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to inquire of the insol vent what expectations he had of paying the debts he now owed. - The insolvent said he had every expectation. Before ice. last December he had various engagements—sharing engagements in the country. There were, he knew, i some small debts in the schedule —one of seven guineas, for cab hire when he was at Manchester, which was the balance of an account. There were some debts which he had not paid on account of his inability. Mr. SARGOOD said it was well known that in the theatrical profession there were difficulties in the outset. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —And I believe in other , professions as well. Ia answer to further questions the insolvent said he had not been able, fur want o f means , to pay for the •hire of the cab. e had now no property to give up to tee the creditors—no theatrical dresses. The dresses he _ used he had on hire of Messrs. Nathan, when he first came to London, in 1848. He had paid Messrs. Nathan U 1031.35. 6d., and now owed them 1091. for debts and costs. A discussion arose respecting the hiring of the goods, and it was stated that more had been paid for them than Ili r they_ were worth. The insolvent further stated that he had not the means ' to purchase his theatrical dresses, and therefore hired them of Nathan, and had not paid any money until he was arrested. He was performing at the Olympic Ice' Theatre about five months in 1848, und er M r . S p i cer and Mr. Denton. He was paid 20/. a week, and then it was increased to 251., and for two months he had 30/. a week. 2 He had received i n the five month s a b out 500 / . The re =Udder of the year he was at Brighton and other places, and made, he should suppose, 150/. He was not a mar ried man, but was in difficulties, and devoted his money to pay his debts at Liverpool and Manchester, where he was a resident. He did not know what he owed Messrs. Nathan, but he did not expect the exorbit ant c h arge they had made of 1031. He thought that 501. would have been a 'moderate charge for the dresses, or 1/. a week. ' Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS asked the real value of the dresses hired. Insolvent—A mere nothing. Mr. COOKE—About how much? Insolvent —About 401. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —Made up for show. Mr. SARGOOD said it was like hiring a horse and chaise—more was paid in time than the value. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—That depends on cif.. cumstances. I never did an 3 thing of the kind. After a few more questions and a conference between the counsel, Mr. CooLE said he had been speaking to his Learned Friend about paying the debts. He had an offer to make, '% but he would not make it before his friend had had the '„ opportunity of opening his case. Mr. Brooke's charac ter before the public was of great importance to him, and therefore he had abstained from making the offer, that the public might know there was nothing in the case to affect his character. Mr. SARGOOD readily admitted that there was nothing tee. in the case against Mr. Brooke's character. It was as well that it should go forth to t public. Mr. COOKE said be had the honour of seeing Mr. Brooke on the subject before be cattle into court. His character was everything with him, and from his great talents, the offer he was about to make was one that would certainly benefit the creditors. It was proposed % that, at the end of each year, Mr. Brouke should make a statement of his gro-s receipts, and pay into court one eighth part fir his creditors, so that if he made 8001., there would be a 100/. for the creditors. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he saw an item in the proceedings of 8001. fur travelling expenses. Mr. COOKE said the expenses incurred were very great. Mr. SARGOOD said he should prefer a fixed sum. Without being personal, actors were known to have some 54 habits of extravagance. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—This gentleman has a character to support, and I see no debt of extravagance in the schedule. There is nothing in the case to affect Mr. Brooke's character in the least degree. ice. It was then arr ange d t h at a day should be named for the final order. Mr. Bloomer, the creditor in person, epposed. His debt was only 21 16s. 4d., and he had sued Mr. Brooke in the county court. He wanted his debt erased from 5 the schedule, so that he might have his remedy in the county court; but the Commissioner told him that it I % could not be done. 1 1, 4 A discussion arose respecting the periods at which 75 Mr. Brooke was to render an aceount of his professional income • Mr. Sar goo d wante d i t quart-rly, but Mr. Cooke ; proposed half yearly, and, eventually, the first account 114 was to be rendered by Christmas next. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he understood that Mr. Brooke was in expectation of an immediate engage ment. )x, The insolvent said he expected an engagement. 6d Mr. Commission er P HILLIPS —I have very li tt l e d ou b t 3 that the debts will be paid, provided he has his health; 3s. I see no reason to doubt it. I -.......• so w • U• 9 s It was then arranged that the first tii.vossnt should be li rendered at Christmas next, and the 24th May was fixed for the final order. - • POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MA I ?LBOROUGH,STREE7. The Rev. John lierrington was charged with obtain % ing a sum of money from Mary Oakley under false pre tences. The prosecutrix stated, that being in want of a situa tion, she was introduced to the prisoner by Mrs. Wright, who keeps the Domestic Emporium in New Oxf)rd street. On the 6th of April she was engaged as house keeper by the prisoner. The prisoner represected himself as living at Bromley, in Kent. He asked pro. secutrix whether she had any property. She replied in the negative. He said that he was short of cash and wanted her to lend him some money, adding that his former housekeeper had done so. She lel, and having procured 10/. she called at the prisoner's lodgings on Wednesday fortnight and had an interview with him, when she lent him 4/. and some silver. She made this advance on the faith of the written engagement he had given her, and the promise that her money would be returned with her wages for the first quarter. It was Mrs. Wright who said the prisoner lived at Bromley; she afterwards said at East Ham, and also named Knowle-park. He evaded the subject of his place of residence. In consequence of suspicions which had been awakened in her mind, she caused the police to take the prisoner into custody,which was done at his lodgings, No. 5, Oxford-street. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he would tell the truth. He lived at Snaresbrook, but as some dis pute had occurred about the rent, 250 L a year, he h a d been induced to l e ave the place, and h a d since been un settled. He had told the prosecutrix how he was situated, and that when he was sealed she was to come and be his housekeeper. He intended no deception. She bad been to Miss Fowler's, his former housekeeper, who had also lent him money, but which had been duly repaid, as his banker's book would show. He had property which was paying him at that moment 200/. a year. He had graduated at Marischal College. Aberdeen, and was of King's College, Cambridge. He was Regius Professor of Greek. He was remanded till Friday next. MAR YL EBOiVE. In the report inserted in our paper of Saturday, of a charge against Mr. Lawrence, a fishmonger in Motcomb street, Belgrave-square, for " having felociously obtained possession of a title-deed by inciting a person to steal the same," Mr. Long is stated to have remarked that "the inciting to steal had no doubt been clearly made out, but not so the felonious intent." The latter part of this observation is incorrectly given, the worthy magis trate's words (which were not distinctly heard by the reporter) having been " the question is whether there was an actual felonious taking in this case, when it has been shown tbat the property was freely given up to the prisoner." CLERKEN WELL. James Bailey and John Lawler, alias Dickson, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with having conspired to cheat divers persons of various large sums of money. The court was thronged by persons have been • dered by the prisoners and the gang to 10' belong. oun. .40 they Mr. Wakeling conducted the prosecution. Mr. Thomas Bland, butcher, of High-street, Islington, was the first witness examined by Mr. Wakeling. He said that on Wednesday, the 3d of the present month, a respectably-dressed man and Mr. Ward, a butcher, in Exmouth-street, came into his shop, and purchased some mutton-chops, and he afterwards, at their request, pro ceeded with them to the Blue Ceat Boy public-house, City-road, to take a glass of ale. Here they were soon joined by Lawler, who was drinking brandy-and-weter, and subsequently by Bailey, who feigned to be drunk, and said he had been at Sadler's Wells on the previous night. After narrating some story about being crossed in love, he said he had already come into the possession of 5001. a year. Bailey then offered wit ness a bottle of champagne, which he declined to accept. Bailey then asked Lawler to engage in a game of skittles, which he agreed to, and proceeded for the purpose to the John Bull public-house, in Brewer -street. The game was accordingly played there for 11., which was deposited in witness's band, who was induced to accompany the prisoner to " see fair play." Bailey having lost, witness gave up the stakes to Lawler, who, out of it, paid fir a bottle of port wine, which was brought to them by Ann Russell, servant of the landlord. While they were par t iking of the wine, Lawler made a bet of Si. with Briley that he (Bailey) could not bring down the nine pins in five times, and the money was duly posted, and lost by the latter; after which witness advised him to play no more, or ho would lose all his money. To this recom mendation Bailey observed that it did not matter to him it he lost a hundred or two, and play he would. About this time a stout man, called by the prisoners Joheson, was let into the ground by them, and commenced betting with Bailey, who et 11 continuing to lose, witness was even tually induced by Lawler to bet Bailey that he did not get the nine skittles in five times, which sum witness very quickly dropped (a laugh), and also a like amount very soon on the same issue of the game. Al ter this in sight by witness into the mysteries of the play, Bailey said to him, "Now, I will bet you 501. you cannot get them in nine times," which sum witness immediately procured, when Bailey refused to make good the bet, unless it was increased to 100/. Witness not having sufficient money for that purpose, let that particular matter end, but consented to play a match with Bailey for 201., Lawler and Johnson engaging to put up the skittles, urging that it would be better for them to do so than to allow a stranger to come into the ground. Mr. TYRWHITT (smiling)—Of course, he allowed you to win the 201. ? Prosecutor—Oh, no.—(Laughter.) Mr. Mould (the clerk)—How many times did you go at the pins? Witness—usually four. When I went that number, he went three times.—(A laugh.) Mr. Wakeling—Of course when you went two be would get them all, and would have tied you every time had you knocked them all down at a throw. Much laughter, in which the prisoners joined. The witness continued, that he played another match for 101. with the same result, and after that he was pre. veiled on to go with Ward and his friend and the priso ner and Johnson to the Sportsman, in the City-road. where Lawler called for six glasses of brandy and water, ona of each they drank. While there, witness said it was a shame he should have lost so much money, wh n Lawler and Mr. Ward's friend recommended him to go to another skittle-ground, telling him he would win all back again, and they named one in the Kingsland-road, whither they all proceeded in a cab, and where witness was fleeced of the rest of his cash in the same way, be sides a cheque for 25/. Mr. Mould—How much money were you robbed of ? Prosecutor-581., independent of the cheque. By Mr. Wakeling—l drank so little that I am satisfied I must have been druggee. I was ill two days after wards. Ann Russell, servant at the John Bull, identified both prisoners as having been at the house on the 3d inst., when Mr. Bland was there. The prisoners were next charged with having swin dled Mr. Rowland Morgan, builder, of 22, Ashley crescent, City-road, of 301. Mr. Morgan shortly stated that, on the 13th of March, he was asked by a young man in Bury-street, City-road, the way to the Angel Tavern, and as h e was go i ng t h at way he off e r e d t o show him the house. They proceeded as far as the Windsor Castle, City road, where the stranger halted and invited him to partake of some re freshment, and they went in and had a pint of half-and half. The prisoner 13.iley appear' d then in the same character as in the first case, and fleeced him of 301. in the same manner as at the John Bull. Mr. Wakeline• now asked for a reman d, an d sa id h e had no doubt be should at the next examination have numerous other charges to prefer of far greater magnitude. The prisoners applied to be admitted to bail. Mr. TYRWHITT said it was a bailable offence, and or dered theta each to find two responsible housekeepers in the sum of 1501. each, and give 24 hours notice to Mr. Wakeling. The prisoners were sent to the House of Detention until the tail is found. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. Yesterday, between one and two o'clobk, a rumour rapidly spread throughout that part of the parish of Clapham lying near to the Wandsworth-road, that a murder and robbery had taken place that morning during the hours of Divine service at the house of Mr. John Meddle, Claremont-place, Wandsworth-road, and that the person murdered was that gentleman's housekeeper. At a few minutes to eleven o'clock, Mr. Meddle left his house to a tt en d Divine service at Clapham church. Mr. Meddle returned shortly atter one o'clock, and ring ing the bell at the gate several times and finding he could make no one hear, he went round to the garden gate, which, to his surprise, was unfastened. Ha went in. The washhouse door was open, as also the back kitchen, and he was almost paralysed at beholding his housekeeper lying on her back in the front kitchen, her legs extending over the threshhold of the door, and her head lying towards the French windows that open into the area in front of the house. Mr. Meddle felt, the body, and believing, as aas the fact, that life was ex tinct, rushed out and alamied the neighbourhood. , For some short time so horrified were the neighbours that none of them, though earnestly appealed to by Mr. Meddle, would go into the house. At last Mrs. Travash and Mrs. Staples went in, and found the deceased lying as stated, but under most extraordinary circum stances. Her right leg was partly drawn up under the body, and entangling the foot, which was without a shoe (which is missing), was a coil of rope used in hanging out clothes; her head rested on six or seven folds of carpeting, and within six inches of the head was a basin containing about a pint of clean water. The face, hands, and other parts of the body were cold. There was not the smallest contortion of features nor, so far as was observed, any marks of personal violence. The eyes were closed as if in sleep, and but for the ghastly ex pression of the face it could have hardly been imagined but she slept. The police were very promptly on the spot, as also Mr. Parrott, jun., the surgeon to the police force, who examined the body. and pronounced life to have been ex tinct some time. He could detect no outward marks of violence, nor was there any mucus flowing from the mouth or nostrils. On entering the house Mr. Maddle had found it in a state of great disorder, and very soon discovered that a gold watch, some jewellery, consisting of rings, &c., and some plate had been carried off. Mr. Coleman, the inspector of police, having communicated with Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, made an examination of the premises, and found that every drawer, box, and even the iron chest, had been opened and ransacked, and a small box, in which the housekeeper kept her money, was emptied of its contents. A very great deal more labour appeared to have been ex pended in opening the various drawers, cupboards, &c., than would have been used by an expert thief. What the amount of property stolen actually is cannot at pre sent be stated. From subsequent information obtained by Inspector Coleman and his men, it would appear that two men were seen in a byt-road near the rear of the house at about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock at noon, and one of them is described as follows :—Short stature, with a blotched face ; dressed in a dark coat with pockets at the side, a black neckerchief and a red plaid handkerchief containing a bundle. The other was tall and thin, with curly hair, he was dressed in dark clothes, and carried a blue bag; they went in the direc tion of Balham. Between eleven and twelve o'clock a man was lurking about the bye-lane, and lay down in the grass in the rear of the house. He was attired in shabby black clothes and black neckerchief with spots. Another man, about the same time, was seen near the apo At a later part of the evening Dr. Parrott, the father of the previously, mentioned surgeon, attended by his son, examined the body. Dr. Parrott remarked that there was no suffusion in the eyes, nor any congestion; there was no protrusion of the tongue, and noc the slightest scratch; and it was further remarked that the deceased appeared to be in good health. hospital, fund the poor woman in such a precarious state that he at once proceeded to thw-street for the magistrate to come and take her depositions. Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, was soon in attendance, accom panied by Inspector Black and Mr. O'Brien, the as sistant clerk. The prisoner was brought up in custody of two policemen. Having heard some one remark that his wife's head was completely smashed, he shuddered, and said, " Ali! she must have fal'en head foremost." During the time that the depositions were being taken the prisoner appeared in great agony. The woman said she was thirty-five years of age, and her husband had frequently beaten her in an unmerciful man ner. Sometimes with a poker. Latterly he had been much more affectionate and kind to her. On Saturday night they had been out drinking together. They got home about half-past t valve. In a short time afterwards she said or did something which displeased him, when he struck her over the face arid head. The last blow knocked some of her teeth out; she then heard him call for a poker, and she, to escape, pushed the window up, for the purpose of calling assistance, when she fell or threw herself out. She knew she was dying, and prayed for fergivecess. The — little girl, wbo said her name was Martha Donovan, confirmed what her mother had stated about the quarrelling, and added, that she ran to the window, when her father followed, and lifting her up, threw her out of window into the back yard, and she fell first on her face and then on the back of her neck. She had fre quently seen her father beat her mother. The prisoner then took a farewell of his wife, but said nothing about the occurrence. He was removed back to his cell et Bove-street. THE WINDOW-TAX. If we help to keep open the question of the window tax, it will readily be understood that we are not pressing for its immediate abolition, or for its abolition at all, without some equivalent duty in its stead. Nothing can be done this session, and it is vain to expect that even next session the country will be in a condition to strike off more than 1,800,0001. from its revenue, chiefly fur the benefit of the wealthier classes. In general, too, it is of very little use to fret abOut a tax, which must be borne whether we like it or not. But there are circum stances about the window-tax which make it an excep tion, just now especially. In the first place, ever house that is built—from th e c o tt age w hi c h pays no window tax to the mansion which pays 301. or 401.—bears the impress of the tax on its front and on its back; from its cellars to its very roof; from Its reception-rooms to its smallest offices—from its general plan to its most casual appendages. An enormous amount of mischief is done every year in the structure of houses, which, once built, do not easily admit of alteration. Every year, too, a considerable number of old houses are de stroyed, simply because the window-tax renders it expensive to inhabit and impossible to let them. But, besides these constant reasons for a yearly discussion of the subject, there ha?pens to be a species of window-tax crisis at this moment. We profess to be inaugurating a great sanitary reform. By the abolition of the glass duty, and now of the brick duty, as well as by the reduction of the timber duties, we are giving great encouragement to building; and this we are doing on sanitary grounds. Further, some important in quiries are in progress, and some important experiments have been recently made, on the best mode of lodging the operative classes. From them it appears that the window-tax has presented, and does still present, the most serious obstacle to the best form of dwellings for the poor. In fact, the pressure of the tax is so great that it threatens to suspend further operations; and the best, the most rational, and the most successful act of benevolence attempted - of late years, is almost pro hibited, not so much by the necessity of 'c intributing to the revenue, as by the mode in which that contributio n is levied. ire might add, that some valuable discoveries and improvements have been lately made, which are likely to be comparatively unavailable so long as the window-tax ties our hands. It is from these considerations that we gladly assist the prayer of the deputation, whose conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer is reported in another pan of our columns. , Sir Charles Wood's reply offers rather more encouragement than has been vouchsafed to some other deputations. " The question of the window duties," he says, " will receive the fullest consideration of her Majesty's Government." This is a pledge, and we have reason to believe that it is made-in the hope of some substitute being found. Here, thee, is our only chance of deliverance from a tax liabl e to many serious objections• over and above its mere pecuniary pressure. We will gise all publicity to the problem a hich for half a century has puza!ed our financiers, and which once more taxes their ingenuity. " What form of house-tax or other tax will supply the place of the window-tax, with out entailing worse inconveniences?" As the problem is exceedingly difficult, and its solution is for the benefit, of the public; it is but natural to expect that the public should assist in its solution. Were the Chancellor of the Exchequer to come forward tomorrow with an ela borate scheme for the purpose, experience leads us to apprehend that he would find it attacked in detail, not only by everybody who happened not to derive - quite as much benefit as he desired from the scheme, but also by everybody who had some reason for wishing the scheme to founder altogether. Fourteen years ago, when the alternative was offered, the public deliberately retained the window-tax and rejected the house-tax, not on the ground that a house-tax was essentially the worse'tax of the two, but because it was thought to be unfairly le vied, and, moreover. not very capable of a fsirer distri bution. Were Sir Charles, however, to bring f,rward a new and improved scheme, we see little reason to hope that it would e.cape the opposition which proved fatal to the house-tax actually levied for many years till 1836. Indeed. it is out of all reason to expect that nay paper scheme should at once be more mature and ready for working than a scheme long iii practice, and frequently amended. We repeat, then, that if the public wishes to repeal the win dow-tax, it must do something more than hold mt et ings and send deputations ; it must suggest a substitute, the only possible substitute being some form of house tax. It will, perhaps, be said, that it is tee busi ness o f the Chancellor of the Exchequer to find taxes and of the public to get rid of them. We do not, howevt r, admi that distribution of labour. The interest of both par ties is the same, viz., to provide fur the proper expen diture of the nation by the best and easiest mesas. There can be little doubt as to the conditions of the problem bef.)re us. The odiousness of the window-tax is not so much its actual burden as iti interference with the comfort, the health, and the architectural effect of our houses. We must not, then, expect to pay less for our houses, excepting where a principle of exemption has been established, but, as yet, .unequally applied. There are cases where the window-tax ought to be amended, and where consequently a house-tax, allowing the came exemptions, ought to be qualified also. For example, it the inns of court and the colleges and halls at Oxford and Cambridge pay a mitigated window-tax on the distinct sets of chambers, surely the buildings recently opened for the occupation. of poor families near St. Pancras Old Church, and other similar establishments, ought not to pay the higher rates, mount ing up, as they do, to an extravagant sum. Something too must be said for private houses let in lodgings, the keeping of such houses being a species of tittle, and the number of windows in them being out of proportion with their value or class. These grounds of excep tion equally hold good, whether the tax is on the windows or on the house itself. Except in such cases as above, we must deprecate all attempts to get rid of taxation under the cover of a just re- pugnance to the particular shape of the pre sent tax. The substitute must not be a tax on the windows, the doors, the chimneys, the ca pacity, or the measurement of the house, but simply oz its value for letting as a residence. So, a least, it appears to us. If any attempt is made to in elude houses of business in the tax to a greater extea than they are included in the operation of the window tax, we anticipate an active and atic..;essful opposition The rule of the letting value, we are aware, is not of easy and universal application. It will have to be modi fied. The case of first-class mansions in the country is a special case, for which a special rule must be found. For example, it would be impossible to find a tenant for Chatsworth-house on any terms whatever, so that its letting vslue is nil, while a valuation with reference to its cost, or its scale, would go into the other extreme. Such 'lollies, however, are treated exceptionally, under the present window-tax; and might he, als.), rimier a house-tax. We see no insuperable difficulty in the problem before us, aud 39 we codirlyntiy , _corr7unit it to the ingenuity of those persons who .re anxi, , us to get rid ot a - wost ineo , ,v - enient wlthout thjury to the revenue and credit of the milieu.— lines.

Oatmeal has likewise continued in fair request at late rates. Influenced probably by contrary winds, the imports into Liverpocl from abroad are on a less ex tensive scale than for several weeks past, consisting only of 8,768 quarters of wheat and 5,448 quarters of InOian corn, and from Ireland the arrivals are on a very moderate scale, while from our own coast the supplies are exceedingly light. At our market this morning a more animated feeling was ap parent than for some time past, and wheat must be noted Id to 2d per 70Ib dearer than on thss day se'nnight. There was a good inquiry for flour, but holders firmly demanded an advance of is per sack, which rather checked sales. For oats and oat meal the previous currency was steadily maintained.

A very painful sensation prevailed during the whole of yesterday in the immediate vicinity of Drury-lane, in consequence of a report that Donovan, the pugilist, had murdered his wife, by throwing her out of the window. From careful inquiries made the reporter ascertained that the unfortunate woman had been thrown out of the window, and the injuries .he thereby received prevent the possibility of her recovery. Donovan, who follows the trade of a blacksmith when not in training for pugilistic encounters, resides at No. 17, Short's-gardens, Drury-Jane, and on Saturday night was drinking with his wife a." a public-house in the neighbourhood. They both left wen the house closed at twelve o'clock, and they arrived at their home shortly afterwards. Nothing was seen or heard of either of them until about half-past one o'clock, w-hen some of the lodgers heard a screaming and a cry of " Police" pro ceeding from Donovan's room. The occupier of the next house, who was sitting up, and wt, o heard the alarm, ran into Drury-lane to procure assistance. He met a policeman, to whom he said he was afraid a mur der was being committed in the next house to his own. The officer without a moment's delay ran into Donu'van's house, when he found the various lodgers in the back yard and the almost lifeless body of the wife. Several other officers having arrived, they procured a stretcher, on which the poor creature was placed, and removed to King's College Hospital. Police-constable Gabb then went up stairs to D alovan's ro am, on the second fl or, where he found the man leaning against the wall. A little girl, who was in the room cryinw, informed the constable that her father had thrown her n ether out of window The officer thereupon told Donovan that he must consider himself in custody for the murder of his wife. Donovan replied, " Oh, well, I will go w ith you. but she did it herself; she threw herself out of w,:ndow." The Iran was then removed to Bow-street police s tation, wher a he was locked up. The little girl, and a yottnger ch'itd asleep in the room, were remcved to the workhouse. When the unfortunate woman reached the 11 , 3spital her skull was found to be fractured, and her forehead completely beaten in. Her ribs were all brok en , an d her left side terribly injured.
