In their statement the wards had been classified, Ithd each alderman would • see who the publicans were who in his ward had disgraced their avocations by using Short measures, and what other tradesmen cheated their P)or neighbours by . using false. weights.—(llear, hear.) unfortunately these convictions did not Ire.quently meet the public eye. He regretted that tact the more, as from his experience be well knew that notbiug was SO much Calculated to check frauds upon the poor as the. put lica- . lion of ihe names of the trading impostors from time to time. Alderman Wit Son cot:ciuded by moving that the . return be printed, andeopies be sent to the aldermen. Alderman COPELAND, in seconding the motion, said that no act of his 'pholie life gave him higher gratifica tion than that of having been mainly instrumental to the appointment of the two officers whose exertions had ac complished so mueh good to the poor inhabitants of,the City of London.—(Bear, hear.) The Court would be pleased at hearing. that merely in consequence of the vi gllance.of the inspector of weights and measures a great ..ttumber of tradesmen's shops in which cheating used' to De extensively carried on against the labouring classes bad beea closed altogether. • He was delighted to fled, that although the aims required unwearied exertion, those who filled them performed all the duties with. the Utmost zeal, energy, and talent.—(Hesr, hear.) -Alderman HOOPER also eulogized the appointment, and by the unanimous vote of the Court gratuities were then granted to the inspectors. Alderman WILSON took that occasion to express. his hope that. Alderman Copeland, who had done so much good 'by causing the appointment •of inspectors of weights and measures, would try what further good be could effect. to society by appointing inspectors of om nibuses and cabs, which constituted in some respect the greatest nuisances which could spring up in a large trading metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) SirX. LAURIE said the use of the word " nuisances" brought to his mind a new nuisance of a very remark ableekind indeed, about which as he walked along Cheap side he had been spoken to by several tradesmen. He meant the prodigious, machine which. bad been dragged by hdrses to the western end of Cneapside, and lett there - for the convenience of some people and the scandal of others.—(Laughter.) It looked like a travelling om nibus, was distinguished by a variety of gaudy colours, and addressed itself in several languages to the nectsei ties of the travelling public.—(Laughter.), He wished to unow whether the Lard Mayor bad given permission to any person to bring in such a visitation upon the labs.. bitauts. :The LORD MAYOR said he knew nothing at all about the vehicle of welch Sr P. Laurie spoke. Alderman HUIRPREERY said the condemnation of the experiment was preuiwure. In all probability the ma chine would have the effect of abating to a very great extent innumerable nuisances uaturally presented themselves in a large population.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman COPELAND hoped the machine would be re moved, but it was because it was calculated to obstruct the transit of carts and• carriages; for things were so contrived in the City that when one great thoroughfare Was disturbed in its pavement all the rest appeared to be undier the necessity of immediately following tbe example. *—(Laughter.) As such happened to be exactly the case et 'present, it would be advisable to prevent any new ' mode of impediment. Alderman WILS. N said he believed that although the Vehicle described might be deemed a nuisance, - it would, in all 'probability, abate, or perhaps entirely remove, nuisances of long standing and much mere intolerable. Alderman EDNPRERY—It may with- advantage be Placed in the "nook" in which the Smithfield•market • model was deposited for exhibition. Alderman. SALOMONS—Why not piece it in Smithfield market? That appears to me to be just the place for Nudes thing.—(4. laugh.) The conversation on the subject ended without being embodied in a resolution, the Court seeming to be of Opinion that the power of interfering lay with another department of the Corporation.

THE AMERICAN MAILs.—Toe Secretary of the Admiralty, in reply to a communication, has stated that . the Lords of the Admiralty will give directions for the British and North American mail steam-ships to call at Holyhead, whenever the pier at thilt place is sufficiently advanced to afford shelter to the packets; and it is expected that may be the case at the en:l of this year. There is not the slightest probability of the steamers being removed from Liverpool. They will merely call at Holyhead for some of the mails.

Sir,—On Monday the 2nd, signific.int tokens appeared. of a desire to escape troth the promised Select Commit. , tee on the Income 'Taxi, the whole p o intin g at the probability there always i s ; that an attempt on the part of a few ff r e o r e w n n t s fro y a; o t the Minister's three what wil l t u end e , p y Il i o n b t t i e t h i n e. o d i n r e d w . y ears' Income Tax, on tke ground that it should only be granted for one year and the interval should be ex pended in inquiring what:,could be ?don e to ma k e the tax what the actors denominated .t' Lair.'.' It was doubtful whether they, l knew what they meant by the term ; or at all events whether they could explain the causes or grouads on which LW-justice of the denomination was dependent. But they weft lull of the persuasion they could du something ; and so they threw over the Mihister.'s three yeah' Income Tax, is) , a ma jority of fourteen. And now 'there •is considerable ap pearance that their turn is come to be thrown' peer them:elves. The Governtnent*es not vote against the appointment of the Conimittee,lbut it is plain that no. body is zealous lor It but the mover. A month has been, quickly lost, since the Committed' was first talked of ; and the chancels consequently small, that much will be done before the time comes rid for debating the subject in the House. The fact is, the Govt rnment bad lat Ler see it debated there, than in a 'Committee. Their reason probably being, that they know, that in a Com mittee they cannot prevent the insertion of an active majority of their enemies, wtereas in the House they , will take their chance. On the same evening the second clause ,of the Eccic siavtical Ti,ies Bill made such advance as colisi.ted in ne• pitying a couple of amendments by majorities of six or A , Ven IJ un ;..which is calted reporting progress, and the Coinwittee sits spill on Fuiday, proposals for in• settions goii,g beyond the measure of the Liovernment, were. wiinori ii t Uu Tuesdaih,re was no .1-I. , use.

COLBURN'S UNITLD SERVICR. Mr. Horace St. John contiuues his carefully compiled and well written History of the British Conquests in India." The present instalment is principally occupied by the narrative of the glories of the hero of Massey, the great Lord Clive. So far as he has gone hitherto Mr. 11. St. John has completely made out his case, and. has demonstrated that the East India Company in , . all the earlier portion of their career cautiously abstained , from territorial acquisitiou, and that it was.not until compelled for their own safety to obtain a frontier, in, order to prevent a repetition of such unprovoked atro-. cities on the part of the native princes as the sack of Calcutta and the perpetration of the Black Hole tragedy, that they attempted to acquire territorial doinini,n.

It the beass were killed at the northern eitronity in the t-wn and ti en et:rted home, 'the meat would be d;sfigured, and would not keep so long. A leas would be sustai...:ed by the butcher from the more rapid decay of= his meat eonseerivnt upon its removal' tram the slaughter-I - waie before it was cooled and set. The establishment of a market in the north would beef considerable injury to bir,cers in a small way uf hod the accommodation in Smithfield were increased he should be, very glad of it; but he did *not think that any better ti:e for a cattle-market could be selected.

The quality of the London melt was very good, it looked brighter than country meat. Did tn.t believe that a better site could.be sound for a cattle market than at Smithfield. Mr. Cooper, a butcher of Great Portman-street, and Mr. Thorns.: S'lntnonds, butcher of Brompton, both stated that the present central site of the market was more convenient to the trace than any site at the northern end of the to Nn. Beasts were more damaged by railway travelling than by driving. Mr: S. Phipps, a butcher in Belgrave-street, near Belgrave-square, stated that he was in a large way of business, and purchased his beasts at Smithfield. His slaughter-house was in Totbill-street, Westminster. Lie should greatly prefer Smithfield to any market at the northern extremity of the town. He did not find that the cattle received any damage of a material nature in Smithfield. Ho had received beasts by railway, and had found that they sustained considerable damage: The proposed northern market would injure the smaller class of butchers. Mr. Adams corroborated this testimony. Mr. Wakefiad, of Maidstone, stated that he always made his beasts walk to market, as they were very much -damaged by railway travelling. Any removal of the market to the north of the metropolis would increase the price of meat, and interfere with the trade ge nerally. Mr. Bassett, of Woolwich, stated he killed 25 beasts, and 100 sheep a week. He preferred driving his 'beasts to sending them by railway. The removal of the market from its present site to the north of London would make a difference of 1501. yearly in his expenses. Wit ness at present paid ts; per head to the..drovers for driving his cattle from Smithfield to Woolwich; bat if the market were removed to the north they would charge au extra 63.—not so much because of the differ ence in the distance, as from the necesifty of driving the cattle quite through the City, and the increased re sponsibility consequent upon it. Sir C. Keighttey stated that he had been in the habit for many years of sending beasts for sale in Smithfield. Atzhough he resided in Northamptonshire, and cut:l44lm ntly his cattle arrived at the northern end of the metropolis, be_did not think that a market there would be beneficial. , .He preferred SmithfitAd from its central position, and should of course send 'there, as the greatest numb. r- of buyers were found there. Almost the whole of his prop , ,rty was derived trc.m grazing, and some of his tenants were very large graziers. He never heard any of them express a wisti to* hive Smithfield market removed. _ Mr. Banning stated that he was architect to the cOr porttlion of London, who were in the habit of consulting him on all their improvements and general , works. Mr. Sergeant WRANORAN stopped the witness, and asked him whether any plan to which he was about to speak would require an Act of Parliament to carry it into effect? The witness said that the plan he proposOd would cer tainly rtquire au Act. M. Sergeant WRANGIIIAK objected to the testimony of the witness. It' scteenses, which of themselves re quired separate Acts, were to be made the subject of in quiry before a Committee) engaged in a totally different investigation, there was no saying where:the evidence would end. Mr. TALLUoT said, that no one knew better than Ser geant Wranghatu that such en objection was at variance with the general practice before theConitnittees of the House ot Commons. The city of London appeared before the Committee as landowners, holding property upon which it had pleased former Sovereigns. to confer certain privileges. It was proposed by this measure to shut up their property, to suspend their privileges,- and certainly to entail serious loss upon them-by the viola tion of their ancient rights and cherters.. The ground on which this was sought to ,he done was the ihconve nience and risk attendant upon the existenoe of a large cattle market in the centre of a crowded city, and when he attempted to show that the evils eomplained of would be remedied by the'plan proposed-by the corpo ration, and the necessity for theabolition ot the market removed, he was met by it technical objettion, by which his right of evidence was denied. Heeeentended that the scheme proposed by the corporation was far better. than the violent and cruse measure .'proposed by his Learned Friend, and he thought that their scheme, therefore, had a perfect right to be entertained by the committee. The practice to be observed in this particu lar case ought to be the same as that pursued in any other Committee on a private Bill; and it could not be con tended that in another Committee on a railway Bill such an objection would be tenable. Mr. Sergeant WRANGRAM stated, thatrthe argument of Mr. Talbot, that the City corporation were land. owners, was one to which he did not subseribe. Rwould be seen, when the charters were referred to; whether the corporation of the city of London everortho owners of the land in Smithfield. He (Mr. Sergeant,Wranghatn) believed that the corporation appeared the owners of ProP--"etorteol: certain tolls. a certain tranchise—as the At ail event:, he w. uld leave that part Of , the case, and urge upon the Committee the fact thatthe proposition w hich was itlustrated by the mole' osiers Ahem', had been made to the House ot Commons V, ' asseasion,- and rejected by sa very large majority. His - Learned Friend would surely not contend that it was thevractioe of Corn. mimes to allow an opposing scheme toluny p ro j ec t to b e brought before them after it had bete:rejected by the House of Commons. Mr. TALBOT bad only attempted to Uphold a proposi tion which bore upon the question before the Committee. v iz., the propriety or necessity of rerntfeink the market from its present site. If he could shops; tnerally that such a plan could be adopted us would ,remove the evils complained of wi:hcu taking away the iharket he appre hended that a reference to that plan w9llid'not be objec ti.inable. s . Mr. Sergeant Pir teasel:tax did not oil Pt to the plan being referred to generally, but his LdeltAoo, Friend bad eta right to go into details on a echeraealready decided by tee House. The room was then cleared. ShortlYaktr the exclu sion of strangers, the noois were re7opeced and the Committee was declared adjourned. .„ It was understood that this •adjournm en t without coming to a decision on the point arose fgom the fact that the Chairman had retired to cons ult 1114 Speaker, but found that there was "no House :'rhe point was, therefore reser ved. A question arose as to the power , of the Comm i ttee t o adjourn, under the c i rcums t ances , but the Chairman declared that, in his opinion, the ad journment was perfectly in accor dance With the rules of the House.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE Wet S o ,--- Notwithstanding the hark P 93 of the course, re spectable fields ran for nearly every event yesterday; in one or two instances produces z very close and exciting raCes, The Moor eesayed, and, what is more, actually accomplished th e t as k o f g i ving Oat 131bs to the Sphynx, over the New Alike for the Trial • Stakes, wanaieg very c!everly, by a.-neck. One of my. Derby fancies, Ttie Prime Minister, bandaged up to the knees, was, after a fine race, beaten half a length by Little Jack tor second place for the Gold Virse, the latter sac -1 climbing by, half a neck to Cariboo. King Charming, the Nloaiea Colt, and Windischgratz, were beaten at the distance. Breba threw her jockey, and afterwards killed an unfortunate coachman who happened to he in her way. The 50 sous. Stakes 'were won very easily by Merry Peal, - beating Aaron Smith and Phlegm ; the last-named never likely to appear again in her Goodwood form .of lest year. Sir Joseph Heti ley'e success this year is unparalleled; the Ascot Stakes, won in a common canter by Vatican, 5 yrs. 7st 71n, has now to be 'added to his other triumphs. The field was beaten into fits; Herbert a bad setemcl, and Pitstord a wretched third; with the Ballet Girl fourth, were all that bad any chance whatever with the winner. My selection from the Goodwood stable for the Two Years Old Triennial—the daughter of Venison and Seidler's Daughter, Red Hind, won very easily from Songstress (coughing) and Moulton Lass. Four others ran, viz :—llex (fourth), Free-trader (fifth), c by 'rheon—Rebecca (sixth), and Denique east); these, however, were so wide apart that the judge placed them all. The Three Years-old Triennial was won without an Wert by Miserrima, beating 073 MUS (se cond), the Cowl filly (third), Constellation, Midas, Ans pach, Fochabers, and Deceitful. This running will make her a great favourite for the Northumberland Plate and St. -Leger; it also speaks volumes in favour of Lord Stan ley's. Csnezeu the second, Iris. The Ascot Derby was, without exception, the best race of the day; un like its namesake of Epsom, it did not fall into the clutches of Sir J. Hawley, whose ban was this time, to the delight of the fielders, set aside in favour of the fiery waters of Phlegethou. The Ban, tooled by Mar son, cut out the work to the last hundred yards, when Marlow on. Phiegethon came suddenly alongside, and contested every remaining inch of the ground, winning after a desperate struggle by a head! 6, I ', and in some instances 8 to 1, was betted on The Ban! The partizans of the cherry colour dropped a goodly portion of what they won on Vatican. It is singular what extraordinary luck occasionally, when least expected, attends the blue and white stripe of Lord Exeter, which I, for one, am always glad to see—his horses nearly always running for the off, and seemingly remote chances, This same Phlegethon afterwards ran a bad third td Lamartine for the Welcome Stakes; Artisan was second. Lamartine is worth an investment (being an improving horse) at a -long shot for the St. Leger. For the Emperer's Plate to-morrow, Rnssborough s Trouncer, Little Jack, and Woolwich, will, I believe, be all that will muster at the starting post; and, perchance, they may travel home in the order I .have placed them. It is said, mis chief is meant with Russborough ; if so he'll win; if not, Trouncer will! I cannot discover any thing to heat the Phryne colt (Bro. to Elthiron) for the New Stakes; Elcot and the Queen Anne colt, however, must not - be altogether forgotten. The Child of the Mist will run well; and Mr. Payne's filly will be in close contiguity to the winner. My remarks on the -Derby of next year will appear on Monday. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT _OF THE TURF. June 4, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TUESDAY. From the outline of the engagements for the week published on Monday, it will have been collected that the prospects of the meeting, in respect of sport, were barely up to the Ascot standard, and, in particular, that the attractions of the third and last days were materi ally lessened by the withdrawal of the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur from the Emperor's Plate, and the dis continuance of the Great Western Railway Handicap. With the provision for the first day—always the beat of the tour—no fault could be found, as, allowing for the probability of small fi e ld s f or t h ree or four races, it in cluded so many events of interest, that we are disposed to think one or two could have been spared to strengthen the programme for Friday; indeed, should the railway companies be stedfast in their determination not to give a plate, a re-arrangement of the stakes will become in dispensible, if the boar days are to be maintained. The meeting commenced moat favourably as 'regarded wea ther, and with an eclat which the presence . of her Ma jesty alone could have given it. The Court movements have always been so remark able for punctuality that some little surprise was mani fested at the non-appearance of the royal cortege at the entrance of the New Mile until within a . few minutes of the time fixed for the first race—half-past one. It consisted of nine carriages and four, preceded as usual by the Master of the Buckhounds and the Royal Huntsman, and was attended .by the usual retinue of moulted servants. Ia the carriage with the Queen were the Princess Royal, the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and Prince Henry of the Nether lands. Prince Albert followed the next, with the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the Duke of Cambridge: In the other carriages we observed the Prince of Leiniegen, the Dukes of Devon saire, Norfolk, and Newcastle; Marquisses of Westmin ster and Aberoorn, the Countess of Beasborough. Sir George and Lady Grey, Lady Oliver 'Grosvenor. Lady Adelisa Howard, Lady Constance Gower, Lord William Powlett, and the Lords and Ladies in waiting. It is scarcely necessary to add that her Majesty's re ception was loyal and 'affectionate; it was graciously acknowledged. The Grand Stand, which has undergone several im provements since last year, one of the most important being the raising of the lawn so as to admit of a much better view of the racing than heretofore, was very fully and fashionably attended ; more so, perhaps, than would have been the case bad the original charge for admission to the Exhibition in Hyde-park been in force. We noticed in it, and in the small stands appro priated to the stewards of the races and the Jockey Club, the following influential members of the aristo cratic and sporting circles:— • -His Excellency the Swedish Minister. Dukes—Rutland, Richmond, and Buccleuch. Marquisses—Exeter, Waterford, Ely, Stafford, Drog beds, Kildare, Worcester, and Clanricarde. Marchionesses —Aylesbury, Drogheda, Stafford, and Kildare. Earla—Zetland, Granville, March, Eglinton, "[lx bridge, Strathmore, Stradbroke, Chesterfield, Wilton, Euston, Mansfield, Grosvenor, Cardigan, Gimpsll, Durham, and Airlie. Countesses—Granville, March, Eglinton, Strathmore, Chesterfield, and Wilton. Viscounts—Canterbury, Maidstone, Clifden, Tor rington, Enfield, Villiers, Lascelles, Cranley, Newport, Newark, Anson, Dungarvon, Exmouth, and Emlyn. Vistountesses—Cranley, Torrington, Enfield, New port, and Emlyn. Lords—Stanley, Robert Pelham Clinton, Ribbles dale, Burleigh, H. Gordon Lennox, George • Paget, and Villiers. Ladies—Bateman, Elizabeth Lascelles, Burleigh, Elizibeth Grey, Egerton, &c. Hon. Messieurs—S. Herbert, R. Boyle, H. Pitt, Captain Rous, Frederick Villiers, Francis Villiers, James Macdonald, E. Lascelles ' A. Hood, G. Anson, G. Barrington, W. Begot, Cecil Forrester , Petre, F. Leveson, .B. Phipps, S. Lumley, &c. Hon. Mesdames—White, Melville, G. Anson, Vil- Hers, S. Herbert, Phipps, &c. Sirs—J. Hawley, W. Fraser, W. W. Wynne, W. Co drington, G. H. Boswell, &c. Colonels—Peel, Newton, Wyndham, &c., &a. , It will be s e e n f rom the agave list, hat the display of " rank, beauty, and fashion," was worthy of Ascot. We cannot speak so well of the general attendance, which, it must be admitted, was below the average. Immediately after the arrival of her Majesty racing commenced, and prcceeded up to the Ascot Stakes, which was not run until near four o'clock. Immediately after its decision the illustrious party In the Royal Stand departed for Windsor Castle. Five races suc ceeded the handicap, and at about half-past six a long and most excellent day's sport was brought to a close. To the courteous manner in which the Noble Master of the Buckhounds (the Earl of Bessborough) presided over the arrangements of the course, all who had busi ness to transact, can bear witness. His Lordship's duties were rendered more onerous by the absence of Mr. Hibburd, who, we were sorry to hear, was too ill to leave his bed; his son, Mr. H. Hibburd, officiated for him as clerk of the course and starter, and in each ca pacity, acquitted himself satisfactorily. With the exception of the accident to Breba, in the race for the Queen's Vase, we heard only of one circum stance that at all militated against the general enjoy ment; this arose out of a quarrel and a fight between two men, which terminated in the death of one of them from the first blow. The following is as detailed an account of the racing as the shortness of the intervals between the various event - rendered unavoidable by their number—ena bled us to obtain.

On Monday evening an inquest was held at the Anglers, T own ' s - en d, Ki n gston-upon-Thames, before Mr. W. C arter an d a very respecta bl e jury, upon the body of M rs . M ary R e b ecca P ratt, age d 22, th e wife of Mr. James Pratt, a cheesemonger and butterman, carp.- mg on business at No. 2, Angel-terrace, Hammeuu rsth, who committed su i c id e on Friday last by throwing her self from off a ca mp - stool into the river Thames, at or opposite Kingston. The deceased was described as a remarkably hand some young woman, highly been married ten eeks, accomplished, and had only Mr. W. F. Cooper, solicitor, attended to watch the case on the part of the deceased's husband; and Mr Nicholson, of the firm of Ni c h o l son and Parker, ap pared on behalf of Mr. James Nutt, licensed victualler, 15, Gracechurch-street. Thomas - Jeffries, potman at the Angler; deposed that about thirty minutes after one o'clock on Friday he •heard some boys on the opposite shore cry " over. " meaning that a parson was in the river. and u p on lc ing he saw the deceased in mid-channel. He untaloored the boat, put off, _Fecured the body, and with assistance got deceased ashore. She was taken into the Anglers. where the body was placed in bed. Uot water and fric tion were applied—Mr. Mitchell, the surgeon, being in attendance—but after three. quarters of an boar's exer tion all proved useless. Police-constablo Murphy, 176 V, deposed to having searched the deceased's clothes. He found a German purse, containing a half-crown pike, and loose in her pocket a florin, 12a. 4d. i n silver, ni. in coppers, and a bunch of keys, also a lett er . wh i c h was add ressed " Mr. Pratt, 2, Angel-terrace, Hammersmith." The Coroner, at the suggestion of the jury, read the letter as follows: "Kingston, Friday. " James,--For the last time I address you. May God forgive you as I do for the wicked accusations you have brought again►t me. When I took an oath to you last night it was quite true, and all I said afterwards a lie. prompted by the fear of being murdered. May every wife do her duty as well as I have done, even though she has a drunken husband. Gotd bye! I never expect to meet you again. Your broken-hearted wife, " MARY R. Pharr." . Jane. Jeans, housemaid' n_ the service of Mr. J. Pratt, was next called. She deposed that she bad been in Mr. Pratt's service about three weeks before his marriage. She first heard of deceased's death on Friday afternoon, and the last-time she saw her alive was on Friday morning. About half-past six o'clock she rang her bell, and witness found her in her bed-room dressed all but her gown. De ceased put on a red silk dress instead of a morning one, and witness fastened it. Deceased did not say why she did so. She was not with her more than five minutes, when she went down stairs, and soon afterwards she heard her mistress leave the house by the private door. Mr. Pratt had gene early to market, and he did not return till ten - oclock, when lie inquired for his wife, end wit ness said she had gone out. lie seat after her to the City and also to Bayswater, but the deceased had been to neither place. Was not aware of any dispute between the deceased and her kusbaud on the previous night. They were on good terms, except when he had toe much to drink. Deceased appeared iu a sound state of mind, and witness never apprehended she would commit sui cide. Deceased went to bed first on Thursday night. Mr. Pratt was the worse for liquor, but deceased made no comidaint. Witness did not know what the words " wicked accusations" meant. lied not heard Mr. Pratt accuse his wife of anything wrong. Thought the words referred to a Mr. Nutt. She believed her master was jealous of him. Mr. Pratt married bis wife from Mr. Nutt'e. She understood he was' ber guardian and exe cutor. • The solicitor attending for Mr. Nutt here observed it was highly important that a letter which had been written by the deceased, and bore the Kingston post-mark of Friday, and had been received by Mr. Nutt the same e vening, should be publicly read, as it would explain tke deceased's state of mind. The lettor, of which the following is a copy, was then read:— "My dear Mr. end Mrs. Nutt,—l have left my huB' band under the most dreadful circumstances ; h e h ac cused me of being seduced by my father w h en I was as nl sams ° 17 years old, and also allowing Mr. Nutt th e im proper intercourse.

I still persist e d i n my innocence dreadful crimes; but feeling certain he would murder c me, I owned, altho ug h every wor d I spoke was a li e , that all was quite true. I h o p e G o d w ill f org i v e me for being so wicked, and saying what I knew was not ri g ht of my dear father and Mr. Nutt. I felt so helpless I did not know what to do; indeed, I am almost out of my mind, and what I shall do with myself I do not know. Accept my love, and thanks for the very great kindness I received from you. I g ot sway from home whilst he was at market. Ile left me in bed, and I promised I would remain there, but I could not . lam at Kingston. How long I shall stay here I do not know. I write in such distress of mind I hope you will excuse all errors. With kindest love to you both and the dear children, be. lieve ma to remain yours most affectionately, (Signed) "MARY it. PRATT." Mr. Nutt expressed a wish to be examined. Ha I stated that he had known the deceased from a little girl. He had known her father, who was but recently 1 deceased, and a more worthy and upright man never lived; he was incapable of the act imputed to him. And with respect to himself. he had never acted otherwise than as a father to the deceased, which his wife, who was present, could prove, if required.

Le Tre Nozze was resumed here last evening, and, now that Lablache has completely recovered his voice, his health, and his agility, nothing could go off more buoy antly than this sparkling opera of Alaury. Never did Lablache make richer " fun," never did Sontag make more exquisite music, never did Ida Bertrand act and sing more artistically, and never has intriguing valet found a more bustling representative than Ferranti. Fortunate indeed is Alaury in havingisuch artistes to create his first work. The pleasant ballet of the Ic des Amours concluded the entertainments. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals ho nouring the performances at her Majesty's Theatre yes terday evening with their presence were the follow ing :—His Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Marchio ness of Dr uro, and Lady Charles Wellesley; his Excellency the Russian Minister, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, his Highness Prince Demidoff, Marquis of Donegal, Mar quis of Northampton, Marquis d'Agnado ; the Earl of Cardigan, Earl Waive, Earl and Countess of Yarbo rough, the Earl Gifford and the Right Hen.

In consequence of the severe hoarseness of Mario, which completely disabled him from singing the music of Genaro, the opera of Norma was i.absti tuted here last evening for that of Lmcrezia Borgia, which had been originally announced. Grisi was in excellent voice, and sang as brilliantly and acted as majestically as ever in the character of the Druid priestess, and was throughout applauded to the echo. Mademoiselle Ber trand' sung the music of Adalgisa with great taste and sweetness, and Tamberlik made the part of Follio a pert o f importance, a feat n hich very few tenors have yet been able to accomplish.
