IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 7. AUDIT OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTS BILL (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Colonel SIBTHORP would give his consent to any measure which would oblige railway companies to make compensation for the accidents which occurred on their lines. In his opinion the whole system of railways was founded on injustice and spoliation. Mr. 0. RICARDO had no objection to the principle of the Bill, because he was favourable to the establishment of an ample railway audit, but he reserved to himself the right of canvassing the details in Committee. After a few words from Mr. Pacx.E and Mr. W. Evaxs, the House divided, when there appeared— For going into Committee 72 Against it... 49 Majority —23 The House then went into Committee on the Bill. Mr. BERNAL in the chair. On clause 1 being proposed, Mr. B. DENISON proposed the substitution of the following clause in place of that contained in the Bill: " That notwithstanding anything contained to the con trary in any Act relating to a particular railway com pany, er to railway companies in general, it shall be lawful for any railway company in extraordinary general meeting assembled to determine from time to time the method of selecting auditors of the accounts of that com pany, and the qualification of such auditors, their re muneration, and their duration in office; and also from time to time to determine the method of auditing the ac counts of that company; and whether any and what per sons shall be employed for the purpose of investi gating the said accounts in aid of the auditors of that company; and whether the audit thereof shall be con tinuous or occasional; and what publicity shall be given to the said accounts; and what access shall be allowed to all or any of the books in which the same are con tained or to the registers of proprietor s and o trans fers; and whether copies of all or any . of such docu ments, or abstracts thereof, shall be periodically or oc casionally circulated amongst the shareholders.' The CHAIRMAN wished to remind the Committee that by proposing the substitution.oef of n theC el o a m us m e, itte th e e , which required that newi Hon. Member was evading tne ru matter should only be intro duced at the end of the Bill. After a short discussion the amendment was negatived witbout a division on the understanding that it should be brought up a fterwards. Af ter considerable discussion, i n which Mr. Spooner, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. E. Ellice, and Mr. Waddington, L Hayworth, addington,op m se r d . th e clause, and Mr. Mowatt, Mr . Hume, and Mr. Locke supported it, The House divided, when there appeared— For the clause ••• SI Against it Majority ..• ... —2l The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 2,3, 4,5, were then agreed to. Clause 6 gave rise to some discussion. It provided that directors should only vote in their own right, and it was contended that this would prevent a director from voting with a proxy. Mr. RICARDO explained that it very frequently hap pened that shareholders at a distance sent the directors their proxies to vote on particular questions connected with the railway, but if this clause were passed as it stood it would altogether prevent that. Mr. LOCKE said the object of the clause was simply to preclude a director from voting in respect of shares which he held as trustee for the company. Mr. RICARDO proposed that an addition should be made to this clause to render it clear upon that point, 'and after some conversation the proposal was adopted. The clause, as amended, was agreed to, as was also Clause 7. • On clause 8 being proposed, Mr. H. BROWN moved, in page 4, line 28, after the word " investigation," to add " and shall make a special report as to any increase of capital whioh may have been made since the then last previous audit, and how such increase has arisen, and particularly whether such increase has arisen in works or plant, and whether the same was contracted for under competition, or how otherwise such increase may have been created." There was no objection to this amendment, and it was, therefore, agreed to. Mr. H. BROWN then moved, in line 40, after the word " line," to add the following words: " and also that such auditors shall require to be produced to them, once at least in every year, all bills of costs for charges in law equity, conveyancing, and Parliament, and that the said auditors shall have full power and authority, if they shall think fit, to employ some competent person cr persons to examine and report to them upon the charges in such bills of costs, and also to tax the same before the proper authorities." Mr. SPOONER objected to all the words after the word " and also." Mr. LOCKE also resisted that part of the amend ment, and appealed to the Hon. Mover to withdraw these objectionable words. Mr. LABOUCHERE was disposed to support the amendment as it stood, believing that it was of the ut most importance to check the legal expenditure of rail way companies as much as possible. Mr. HUME also supported the clause as it stood. Mr. H. BROWN, iu order to show the necessity for this clause, mentioned a fact that had recently come to his knowledge. A solicitor sent in a bill to a railway company with which he was connected, claiming a ba lance on his account of 20,6791., but on taxation the amount, wes reduced 8,3371., while upon investigation he found that of the latter sum only fifteen seven-eighths was fog money out of pocket.—(clear, and laughter.) After some further discussion the gallery was cleared for a division, hut none took place, and on our return we found the discussion still going on. An amendment was then moved by Mr. SPOONER, the the clause of which he bad given notice should be The Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... 57 Against it The numbers being equal, the Chairman gave the casting vote in favour of the amendment, and it was ac cordingly agreed to. On the motion that the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill, Mr. RICARDO protested against the power given by the clause to the auditors to interfere with the policy of railway companies, and proposed the omission of the words " any other matter or thing they or either of them may think fit." Sir. LOCKE denied that the clause as it stood would have that effect. Mt. HUMS proposed an amendment with a view to have the supervision of th e H ouse . Mr. WILSON said that the eleventh clause was power to th evi dently tyrannical, and gave a e directors which was plainly unconstitutional, and he should there fore oppose the motion. • Mr. LABOCCHERE'wouId not venture to say whe ther any arrangemt nt of auditors shoul d take place or not, but this he would sa y , that transactions had con tinually been taking place of which public officers ought only to be c,:gn;zauf; public officers ought to be ep pointeri, for unle4s that was done there could be no se curity for the public. Mr. BECKET DENISON said that if this clause was passed there would be an end to the power of the directors. The fact would be, 'that the reports sub mitted to, the shareholders would be the report of the Government auditors and not of the directors. Mr. J. LOCKE thought that, as the Honourable Member for the West Riding had suggested, this ?.Istite had better be left out than in; he was, there 1, desirous that the Chairman should report progress , andthat the House should sit again. B . r• said that this was not a public d s there was much public business before the House, Bill, that the iron. the batter plan would be to postpone the Aftr non. Member for Honiton had proposed. DENISCTirtee conversation, in which Mr. BECKETT further conside°k part, that course was pursued, and the 28th hut. ration of the Bill was adjourned until the I Thisß li ll7 li p a t ed AY S L (SOUTH WALES),BIL through Committee.

The other business having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Six o'clock. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.--In our last report we stated that the loss of confidence had become greater and prices lower subsequently to Tuesday's market. To day, mule and water twist, in the bundle, has been sold at id. to id. per lb. below the quotations then current; and goods also have generally yielded more or less, in the light and medium qualities lid. to 3d. per piece. Prices may be considered tully as low as they were on Friday and Saturday; certainly, the decline is better ascertained, for business was rendered next to impossible last week, by the prevalence of a feeling very much akin to panic; where - as, there hav e b een transactions to-day, particularly in shipping yarns, and offers to a fair extent have been tee , made, both for them and for some descriptions of cloth, which serve at least to indicate an opinion amongst the buyers that it is as well to be purchasing some of the supplies they may want. The fall in prices is now very serious, and, singular as it may appear, stocks are light in the hands of spinners, and by no means heavy in those of the manufacturers at large. From Bombay the advice as to yarns and goods are , N more favourable than they were expected to be, but they 17% are not very satisfactory from Calcutta. For the former market there have accordingly been inquiries and offers for yarns and goods to-day, but scarcely any fur the latter. The impression produced by the American 134 letters is, that they point to a larger supply than the . previous ones did. 1% ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market remains dull and inactive, and the merchants are offering lower yi prices. In kt_rseys and coarse goods there has been very . little doing. The wool market is still, and former prices are fully maintained. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—NOt BO much has been done in our market to-day. The stocks in the Cloth ice Hall are on the increase; there have not been many large buyers in town this last week, and cons( quently delive ries have not been very large. The wool market is I slack, as the manufacturers cannot be induced to buy I,j until the forthcoming sales have commenced. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been but a slender • attendance of buyers in our Piece Hall to-day ; and the % amount of business transacted has been very limited. The spinners are asking a slight advance upon yarn, and a check has consequently been given to the purchases. On some sorts of wool the staplers have obtained a trifling advance in price, and the quantity changing hands is scarcely so large as it was. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The markets at the Cloth Halls ; to-day were dull, neither can we report much doing to ' order. The shipping houses are rather busy ; bat for 'm the home trade there is not much doing. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.

WHERE SHALL WE BURY OUR DEAD (From the Leader.) A long and interesting Report, dated "Whitehall, April 2, 1851," and signed "Ashley, Edwin Chad. wick, and T. Southwood Smitb," has been presented to Parliament and published, on Extramural Inter ments in the country towns. According to the report, the country generally is in favour of an Act of Par liament for prohibiting the burial of the dead within the limits' of towns; and certainly the evidence fur nished by the corps of inspectors acting under the orders of the Board of Health, of the ever-crowded and dis gusting state of our graveyards, sufficiently warrants the conclusions of publie opinion. The inspectors have ex amined the burial places of 200 towns, and found them mainly in as bad a con di t i on as t h ose o f L on d on . A few instances will give an idea of the general condition of the inspected districts. At Great Yar mouth 9,235 bodies have been buried in the parish churchyard in twenty years. At Burslem and other towns, bodies are brought into the town from the country; and at Norwich the churchyards, which Evelyn declared to , be 200 years ago, a " congestion of dead bodies, one on another for want of earth, even to the very top of the walls; and some above the walls," have since received no less than halt a million in addition; consequently, in the words of the report ; " a very large portion of the soil, for the depth of many feet, consists of decomposed human bodies." Dover, Huddersfield, Portsmouth, an d ot h er towns are in the like condition. In Penrith the churchyards con tain, some twenty-one, others fourteen and fifteen layers of bodies. The stench arising from these patches of corruption in summer is so strong and baneful, that one instance is reported of the windows of a church opening on the yard being boarded up. At Banbury and Beaconsfield, we are told that the coffins swim about iu the vaults; the sexton of the former stating that h e a l ways got ;he water out as nigh as he could when the parties were coming out of church. The remedy of these evils the Board of Health find in a general prohibitory Act, giving adequate power to the local boards for establishing cemeteries, and reserving to the central board the duty of supervision. The machinery created by the Public Health Act would be available for this purpose; and it is recommeeded that general district rates be levied under such Act where it is in operation, tor meeting preliminary expenses; and where it is not, those expenses to be charged on the poor-rates. Choice of sites, plans, burial arrangements, all these are to be subject to the approval of the Board of Health. An ad ministrative function, the raising and control of the necessary funds, would be entrusted to the local boards. Not the least important paragraphs of the report are those which detail the obstacles in the way of im provement. These may be indicated as consisting of enormous expense attending special Acts of Parlia ment; difficulties of inducing unity of action among the interested parties; and ignorance among the local authorities. It is also stated that the provincial cemeteries have generally tailed hitherto, and that, in spite of the over-crowed state of the graveyards, bodies are continually sent to be buried. On the whole the report contains ample proof of the necessity for burial without the limits of towns ; but it may be questioned whether the centralizing tendency is not too much introduced into the plan recommended to Parliament. '% INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday, April 29, (Wm. Cubitt, Esq., President, in the chair), previous to the ordinary meeting, Mr. Joseph Whitworth (Manchester) exhibited, in the Library, a new measuring machine, for determining minute differences of length. The accuracy of the ma chine was demonstrated by placing in it a standard yard measure, made of a bar of steel, about three- quarters of an inch square, having both the ends rendered perfectly true. One end of the bar was then placed in contact with the' face of the machine, and at the other end, be tween it and the other face of the machine, was inter posed a small flat piece of steel, termed by the experi menter " the contact piece," whose sides were also ren dered perfectly true and parallel. Each division on the micrometer represented the one-raillioneth part of an inch, and each time the micrometer was moved only one division forward, the experimenter raised the contact piece, allowing it to descend across the end of the bar by its own gravity only. This was repeated until the closer approximation of the surfaces prevented the con tact piece from descending, when the measure was com pleted, and the number on the micrometer represented • the dead length of the standard bar to the one millionth part of an inch. Eight repetitions of the experiment in a quarter of an 9% hour produced identical results, there not being in any /94 case a variation of one millionth of an inch. jab This method of operating was termed "the system of 3% proof by the contact of perfectly true surfaces and gra vity;" and in connexion with it was shown another in teresting experiment. When the micrometer was up within one division of the number where contact would be presumed to occur, 7 5 - the application of the finger to the centre of the steel bar sufficed to expand and lengthen it instantaneously, so as to prevent the descent of the "contact piece." The other method of proof was by having a small S od simple battery composed of a piece of zinc soldered on lii to a piece of copper and plunged into rain water, with ', out the admixture of any acid; this was connected with the two ends of the measuring machine, and also with a delicate galvanometer. On pursuing the same process of advancing the micrometer, one division at a time, no effect was produced, until the last millionth of an inch of distance was traversed and absolute contact occurred with the end of the bar, when the deflexion of the needle of the galvanometer instantly detected the move ment. Repeated experiments showed this to be unerr ing in the result, and on placing the finger on the middle of the bar, under the same circumstances as in the other course of experiments, the expansion was instantly de tected by the deflexion of the galvanometer needle. The delicacy of these experiments was so great as to .preclude the possibilty of making them in a crowd, or in a room with a varying temperature, therefore, al though the machine was destined for the National Ex hibition, its merits could not be appreciated or exhibited there; it was announced, however, that probably another opportunity would be afforded by Mr. Whitworth for the exhibition of this beautiful instrument, whose results were calculated to make great modifications in the cal culations of the changes of volumes of metals and other substances under variation of temperature. The paper read was "On the Demonstration of the Rotation of the Earth, by means of Two Pendulums," by Mr. Homersham Cox, B.A. The demonstration of the rotation of the earth was usually made to depend on phenomena presented by the appearance of the heavens. Two mechanical experi ments had, however, long been known, which demon strated the fact that the earth revolved —the one, the retardation of the pendulum by centrifugal force, a question discussed by Newton, littygens, and others; the other, which was suggested by Newton, consisted in dropping from a great height a ball, which, by the diur nal motion, was moved somewhat to the eastward. The experiment had hitherto been performed with one pendulum, but in the present instance two pendulums were used, and were suspended at a sufficient distance apart to allow of the free vibration of each. The weights were held together by a thread, which on being burned released them, so that they were set vibrating, initially, in the same vertical plane; consequently to the eye of an observer situated in that plane the two pendu lum wires appeared co-incident, one of them covering, or eclipsing the other. In a short time, however, the course of the two pendulums visibly altered. As their planes of oscillation appeared to revolve the same way on the earth's surface, the wires no longer covered each other, but app eare d t o separate an d a l ternate ly t o cross each other. ppsamrenantifdeisrteeedtofzthaes.l their r arcs planes diverged The edvant ages o f t hi s mode of operat i ng were, fi rst, the rapidity with which the d e vi a ti on o f th e pendulums wa ne ' s revolved from i e n a o h the same a other twice as f ast as either from its initial position; and, secondly, th e a wires constituteNpatorenita crossing and recrossing of the and palpable tes t t e naked eye, a much more dis tinctmotion referred to apla o n f e the result than the aprrent The pendulum experim b e eneath one pendulum. that it was necessary to post p one the so long a period New Mechanical " paper "On some ~Application ca Vulcanised Caout cliouc," 1)y, Mr. proeked.94l. *Air tl ar ' e n ext meetme, on Tuesday evening, 11,(ay 6th, when •: "r„•4341--- paper " On a mode of Computation for excluding Floodwater from a Set of Guagiegs at Regular Intervals," and Mr. Blackwell's " Results of a Series of Experiments on the Discharge of Water by Overfalls," were announced to bo read, and the monthly ballot for members to take place.

FRENCH IGNOR.4NCE OF ENGLISH MANNERS. The absurd ignorance of our neighbours the French upon all matters relating to England is so well known to our readerQ, that an illustration of it now scarcely raises a smile; hut we have translated the following ex• tract from Le Siècle of the 27th April, in the belief that nothing more ridiculously false or more absurdly at variance with the manners of Londoners of any rank, class, profession, or age, has ever been produced. When we reflect that this is not extracted from a cheap or low class newspaper, but from a journal which holds the position in Paris that our Times or Morning Chronicl holds in our metropolis, we may allow that if it were but to undeceive our credulous friends, their visit to London in this present season, and the attraction of the World's Fair, will not be valueless:— "In London people can hardly be said to live during the day; they are so busy that they hardly have time to think whether they exist. After dinner the merchants, gentlemen of fortune, and noblemen go to the theatre: when the performance is over they adjourn to their clabs, where they smoke and drink, but this is not the last nocturnal resort. There yet remains the z' Finish,' either an ignoble pothonse, or a vast and. sumptuous tavern, so called because the amusements of the night are finished in these places. In some of them merchant's clerks and men of that rank drink ale and smoke abominable tobacco; in others, the fashionable drink the wines of France and the Rhine—port and madeira, and smoke the most expensive cigars; but in both orgies are carried on to the height of brutality. I had frequently heard of these ' Finishes,' and a friend of mine, a Frenchman, who had resided for ten years in London, offered to act as my cicerone to one of them. I accepted his offer and went. These splendid taverns have a physiognomy peculiar to themselves. Outside you might take them for temples of sleep or silence ; but on passing through a little door, carefully closed and fas tened, you are almost bewildered by the blaze of a thou sand gaslights. You find yourself in an immense hall, divided into two parts; in the one tables are arranged, shut up by high partitions, as they are in%ll English hotels, and with handsome sofas on each aide. Before you, in the other division of the room, is a sort of stage, with benches, where splendid women, magnificently dressed, sit on show,' like statues, without speaking or moving, till some gentleman invites one of them to de scend and partake of the luxurious provisions and wines which are furnished on demand by the waiters. The habitues of the place arrive about one in the morning. Many of these gin palaces' are the daily rendezvous of the elite of the aristocracy. These young Lords anis honourable Members of Parliament, who all day have been stiff and solemn, answering • Yea' and No,' and not daring to make any further remark on the romances and literature of the day than shocking' or ell these sieves of cant and conventionalism, under the influence of champagne and the alcohol of madeira and port, throw off their coats and cravats, open their waistcoats, and in fact undress in public. The great amusement at the Finish' is to make e poor girl dead drunk, and then pour some vinegar mixed with pepper and mustard down her throat, which throws her into horrible convulsions. This is capital fun! Another game much appreciated by these fashionables is to throw glasses of punch and otter liquids over the dresses of these miserable girls whom they have intoxicated. I have see❑ the moat gorgeous satin dresses, of which the original colour could not be discerned amid a confused mixed of stains of porter, brandy, wine, and coffee. which made a thousand fantastic patterns. When a foreigner is present at a scene like this he will see that there is at least one man who is better understood in this proud and powsrful British empire than Shake pere—it is Fals Taff About seven or eight in the morning they retire from the 'Finish.' The servants call cabs. Gentlemen who can stand search for their clothes in a heterogeneous mass of great coats, paletots, coats, and waistcoats. As to the others, the waiters dress them with the first garments they can lay their hands on, carry them to cabs, and tell the driver where the package' is to be delivered. If they do not know their address, they stow them away in a particular room until they have sense enough to say where they live. I need hardly say that the charges at these establish ments are enormous, and that those who get drunk are generally relieved of their purses, watches, and gold chains. In fact, the science of theft is so well known to the deities of these places that, although drunk them. selves, they always manage to pick the pockets of their noble victims. The next moment the same people go to their clubs, ask the news with the greatest nonchalance, but never make any allusion to the adventures of last night. They meet as if they had never seen ono another at the Finish;' on this subject there is a sort of mutual assurance established in London on a large scale. London is iho town of colossal debauchery and ridiculous modesty in language. All the legs of the sofas and chairs have trousers. It is the same with the pianos. I asked my hostess why these articles of fur niture were clothed more than the ballet girls at the Haymarket and Covent•garden. Oh, sir,' said she, would not you be shocked to see the legs of the chairs?' In England, if you were to speak of the legs of a chair it would be ' very shocking.'" LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, .May 7. (Before Lord CRANWORTH.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HARDY. This was a motion argued before his Lordship in the present term to prevent the trustees of two chapels, called the Old and New Chapels, at Holt, in Norfolk, from permitting them to be disposed of or used ad versely to the provisions of the deeds under which they had been established; and also from claiming to act fur ther as trustees of the new chapel under the deed of 1837. The present motion arose out of the recent schism in the Wesleya❑ body. In July, 1814, a deed was executed between Messrs. Hardy, Curteis, and Johnson, as trustees for the general body of Methodists, by which deed the trustees were empowered to mortgage an old chapel at Holt, and in 1833 a further arrangement was come to, by which Mr. Hardy, who was treasurer of the chapel, agreed to re duce his mortgage debt to a sum of 3501 In 1837 the Wesleyan body having greatly increased in number, a larger chapel became necessary, and accordingly one was erected at Holt; and by a deed dated October of that year, the chapel and the land on which it was built was conveyed to trustees, and the effect of this arrangement eventually was, that Mr. Hardy became entitled to a mort gage upon the now chapel to the amount of 6004, in addi tion to his mortgage of 2001. upon the old chapel. In 1842 Mr. Hardy died, and by his will Mr. Cozens Hardy became his executor, and entitled to the mortgages. Io 1849 the schism broke out among the members of the Wesleyan body, and extended itself to the Holt district. Mr. Cozens Hardy, who is a gentleman of fortune and a country magistrate, sympathised with the three ministers expelled, and agitated, as it was called, the Wesleyan body in their savour. After some contro versy, the Conference proceeded, under the rules of the society, to expel Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Coleman, who was also a trustee of the old chapel. In May, 1850, Mr. Cozens Hardy, as executor of Mr. W. Hardy, applied to Mr. Curteis, one of the trustees of the old chapel, for payment of the sum of 2001., due on the mortgage, intimating that if the amount were not paid he should resort to legal proceedings. Accordingly in May, 1850, the chapel was advertised for sale. In th e o c . tober following an angry correspondence took place between Mr. Hardy and the Rev. Mr. Worker, who is the superintendent preacher of the circuit. Even tually the old chapel was put up for sale, and knocked down to a Mr. George Turner for 2001.; and about the same time Mr. Hill, one of the defendants, took an as signment of Mr. Hardy's mortgage on the new chapel for a sum of 6001. These are substantially the facts contained in the case. The bill alleged that Mr. Hardy and the surviving trustees of the old chapel had been expelled from the Wesleyan body, and that he and others were using their influence adversely to the inter ests of Methodism, and that they had improperly sold the old chapel. The bill also alleged that the transac tion between Mr. Hill and Mr. Hardy was only colour able, and the plaintiffs by this motio❑ asked to restrain the sale of the chapel, and the continuance of the defen dants in office as trustees. His LORDSHIP this morning gave judgment, and after going through the fat of the case at some length, dis missed the bill. PORTANT AND EARLY NEWS FROM GREENLAND. •By the Enterprise, Cardno, which left the ice on the 21st ult., arrived at Peterhead at noon on Thursday, with 9,500 seals, the result of only four days' fishing, we have the following intelligence:—The Commerce, Seller, 4,000 to 5,000 seals ; Columbia, Birnie, 1,100 ; Dublin, Mackie, 8,000 to 9,000-90 tuns oil; Eclipse, J. Gray, unknown; Fairy, Robertson, unknown; Ha milton Ross, Johnston, unknown; Mazinthien, Bur nett, unknown; North of Scotland, D.

The above are all Peterhead vessels. The Flamingo, Lee, of Hull, is the only English ship reported—she had 400 to 500 seals. It is feared that the ships not reported have nearly all missed the fishing ground, owing to the peculiar state of the Foreigners are poorly fished, --Aberdeen tirriaa EVENING, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. STEALING NEWSPAPERS.—A boy named Henry Agar was brought before Alderman Hunter charged with having had a number of newspapers, which had been stolen, in his possession. Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the Post-offie, attended to watch the case on behalf of that establishment, He stated that the authorities of the Post office were anxious to show to the public that the numers us com plaints as to the miscarriage of newspapers did not arise from the negligence or misconduct of the servants. In all probability they were, he said, caused by the want of proper care upon the part of the newsvenders, who entrusted boys with vast quantities of journals, which became thus, in consequence of the carelessness of some and the dishonesty of others, subjected to considerable diminution in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, in which they ought all to have been deposited. In the present case about fifty newspapers had been sent by a aewsvender to the Post-office, in the care of a boy who by some means, lost them near the establishment; and the person in the country to whom they had been di rt supposing that the fault of the non-delivery lay with the Post-office authorities, came to town to com plain of the injury. It was at the moment discovered that the papers, instead of having been posted, had been partly sold in the newspaper m +rket opposite to the building, by the prisoner, who was no doubt in confederacy with persons of more experince in such matters, by which false imputations were east upon the system observed in that important department. It was thought necessary to look to all cases of the kind with great attention; and it would be sevn from the evidence to be adduced that the newsvenders were bound to exercise more caution , han was at all usu d with the mass of them in deposi - ing or causing to be deposited the newspapers they wi,hed to put in the box. A letter had appeared in the Times of the day before from a gentleman of Shaftes bury, complaining of the non-arrival of newspapers di rected to him, and casting blame upon the Post-office; but some notion might be formed of the losses expe• rienced in newspapers in other ways when he mentioned, and it could be proved by the officers in a'tendauce, that in a grew variety of instances b ,ys were to be seen in the vicinity of the building tearing off the directions and selling the newspapers. That the evil would be greatly abated by obqsrving the caution he suggested there could be no doubt, from the fact that an extensive newsvender who looked himself to the business of depositing the pa pers be transmitted to the letter-box did nut lose one out of 5,000, Jake Collins, a poor woman, who sells fruit in Little Bell alley, said the prisoner called upon her and offered to sell her some newspapers at a very cheap rate. As she could not read she showed them to her son, who told her what they were, and that they were papers of a recent date, and she immediately gave the boy into custody, and found that he had been getting them in a bad way. Mr. Beale, publisher, of Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, said, I have seen the prisoner in the newspaper market, near the Post-office, but do not know him. On Friday last I sent three boys with packages of newspapers to the Post-office. The papers produced by the officer answer the description of those contained in one of the pack ages, which was addressed to Mr. Blanch, of Bath. I saw the parcel packed. It contained several numbers of the Illustrated London News, Weekly Times, Lloyd's Paper, News of the World, and Reynolds's Newspaper. That parcel never reached the Post-office. On Friday, in consequence of a stoppage which took place near the Post-office, the window was kept up five minutes longer than usual, and there was, I understand, a great rush in consequence of the impediment. The package in which the newspapers I have alluded to were deposited was dragged in the crowd from the boy's shoulder, and .no doubt got amongst thieves. There is always at such a time a vast crowd, and it is easy for persons who pretend to be assisting extensive ►enders to run right through the Post-office. Mr. Joseph Jennings, newsvender, said—On Friday afternoon I was in the marker, opposite the Post-office, and I saw the prisoner. He was calling out London News, and I purchased six copies of him and paid him for them. The prisoner said that a boy had sent him to the mar ket to sell the papers, and had given him ls. 6d for per forming the business. The father of the prisoner said that no doubt the child had been put up to the robbery. Alderman HUNTER—I wioi that some of the fellows who urged this boy to dispose of the stolen papers had been brought before me. Upon them I would inflict the heaviest punishment. I can only sentence this prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment. I think that a great deal de pends upon the caution used by the venders as to de positing their packages, and I would advise a more strict attention to that sort of regulation. I also think that the inspector of that district should exercise great vigilance when the packages of newspapers arrive at the Post-office in the evening. The prisoner was then committed to prison for 14 days. MAY 8, 1851. mate paupers under his care, would not be prosecuted by the viri,h authoritie s . _ . It csiil be recolh-cted that at the last and final exami nation Mr. Ballantine, the counsel for the prosecution, pressed for the committal of the accused to take his trial upon the charge of indecent assault, which he said he felt himself bound to do in justice to the party prosecut ing end to the public. Mr. B tilantine now attended on the part of the parish, and Mr. Wontner for the master. Mr. C 'mho on Monday last committed the accused for trial, but yesterday having been appointed to take the depositions and finally conclude the proceedings, he ap peared to the bail, and took his position, as f)rmetly, in the felons' dock, when Mr. Ballantine rose, and addressing Mr. Combe, said that the case against a person named John Henry Eaton had been heard fir an indecent assault upon a girl named Eliza Smith, a pauper, and from time to time had occupied a considerable portion of the time and attention of the Court. At the last examination, atter listening to the evidence, he (Mr. Combo) asked him (Mr. Ballan tine) whether he a mild press for the committal of the accused to take his trial. He did so, and he (Mr. Combo) committei him fir trial. Snesi then, however. be had weighed over in his mind the statements maie by the various witnesses, and had arrived at a conclusion, in which he felt no doubt the Bench would concur with him. He was of opinion that if the case was sent before a jury a conviction could not take Vane, and he felt it to be his duty to communi,late this to him (Mr. Combe). lie then referred to the evidence of the girl Eliza Smith, in some parts of which she was contradicted by the witnesse • for the de f ence. Mr. B , arishaw, the master of Hampstead Workhouse, and Lamb, the gate keeper of St. P .ncras Workhouse, who were respectable men, had contra dicted the girl, and ether wittes, especially a girl named Hurley, who was formerly a pauper, and now a servant out of the workhouse, and not under the control o► Eaton, pve evidence tavourable to him, and made Eliza Smith's stat••ment inconsist•'nt with truth. Other statements were gone into with reference to the woe of the intellects of the girl Smith, and it would appar ,he was of weak mind, and there was a ques•lots whether it was not impregnated with a false notion against the master of the workhouse. Eaton. Under these cir cumstances he would now ask for his d►Ychsrge, and he hoped it would prove satisfactory to the Court and the public. . _ _ - Mr. COMM listened attentively to the Learned Gen tleman's address, and said be had felt considerable difficulty in the case, and a. ,. ter ;be speech of Mr B .1- lantine he would discharge Mr. Eaton, but, he added, " I purposely abstain from making any further obser vation." Mr. Eaton then bowed and left the bar, when he joined his friends, and getting into cabriolets in readi ness opposite the entrance of the court, they drove off in the direction of the workhou.e.

Yesterday Patrick Cane, John Hickey, James bl•Elligatt, Dennis Harrington, John Fahey, William Burke, Dennis Shanahan, and Edward Shanahan, who have been in custody since Monday morning last, on a charge of being concerned in the murder of Henry James Chaplin, a police-constable, in Vauxhall•walk, were placed at the bar of the Lambeth Police-office, before Mr. Elliott, for further examination; and Thomas Lynor, Thos. Burke, and Edward Stelling were charged f'Jr the first time with being also engaged in the brutal murder. Mr. Games, who attended for the whole of the pri soners charged on the previous occasion, appeared fix five of them on the present; and a Mr. Niele was pre sent for the others. In addition to the evidence given at the previous ex amination the following was adduced : Michael Connor said—l reside at No. 49, Vauxhall walk, and work at the London Gas Factory. Vauxhall. I know all the prisoners, and saw them on last Suattay night at a raffle at the White Lion public-house, in Vauxhall-walk. I went there at about twelve o'clock, and left in company with the prisoner, Dents Shanahan, at about half-past twelve. On our way home we met with two women, with whom Shanahan got into conver srtion, and I left them and went home and had my supper. In about a quarter of an hour after, Dennis Shanaham came in and went to bed. All the prisoners live in the same house except M‘r;lligate and Stelling. In about three-quarters of au hour after, Shanahan ta.i.d myself went to bed. The other prisoners came in aid I heard a noise both inside and outside the house. In his cross-examination, the witness said that Dennis Shanahan was quite sober, and before goinit to bed had folded up his clothes and put them into his box, and was as quiet as any one could be. He (witness), though at the raffle at the White Lion on Sunday night, aid not see an v dice, but did see some cards. To the Magistrate—All the prisoners had been drink ing, but neither of them was out of the way when he ►aw them. C. Margaret Cole, the wife of Robert Cole, a labourer at the London Gas-works, said—All the prisoners, with the exception of M•Edigiste and Stelling lodge at me house, 49, Vauxhall-walk. I was at th • White L on t•n Sunday night, but was at home and in fa: d long before twelve o'clock. I heard the prisoner Cane come lee , the pwaage, and was awrike by his noise. I opened my hed-roon door. and saw him (Cane) in the pas, rte cith my servant Ellen Dunn, who was end-avouring to prevail on him not to go out, but be see-med ie termteed on doing so. I saw that he was h 1 edit g fr-m a wound on his face, wbioh was covered wish bleed, end he said that he had been struck by a policemen. lal %es• d him not to go our, but he said he should, and did go our. I weir. into my bed-room, end in about a quar ter of an hour heard a noise in the passage wilier] in duced me to get ow. of bed and go into the passage, and there saw Cane, Hickey, and Harrington, in the act of going into the cellar, when I followed to see what was the matter. I saw that Cane was cut and bleeding, and Hickey took a basin to get some water to wash it At this moment the servant called out, and on my going up stairs I saw the police coming over the palings, and I said I would open the door for th,im. Hickey stood at the wash-hoase door, and one of the policemen, on see ing him, said, " Here's one of them," and took Hickey. He resisted, but I advised him to go, and before he got to the outer gate I saw his face streaming with blood, and that was the first blood I saw on Hickey. When he came in I saw no blood on him or Harrington. After, taking Hickey away the policeman returned and took the prisoner Cane in the passage. After Cano was taken away I went down into the kitchen, and there saw the prisoner Lynor, and asked him what was the matter, and what it was all about? Ile said it was a bad job, for when he was coming home he saw a man lying dead in the street, near the Queen's Head beer-shop; that it was a policeman, and that no one was near him. He said that he had been to see two females home to Lam beth-walk, and saw the man on his way home. The Cane, and H a rri ng t on , came h ome pr i son ers Hickey, together, and when the police were taking Hickey I saw the prisoner William Burke come down stairs in his stockings and partly undressed, and I advised him to go to bed again. In cross-examination, the witness said that it was after Cane had returned home and gone out that be and the prisoners Hickey and Harrington cam- home to gether. She went into the room where Th }was Burke slept. but could not say she saw him in bed, nor did she recollect telling him that the police had taken Hickey. Saw Hickey before he was taken, and was quite sure he had no blood on him. The police had a great struggle with him to get him out, and she had not the least doubt that while so engaged the police struck him, and inflicted the wound on his forehead. Hickey was in the act of going with a basin to get some water to wash the face of Cane when the police rushed in and seiz-d him. The witness, when pressed on the point, and after some reflection, said it was her impression and belief that she had seen Thomas Burke in his bed. Ellen Dunn, servant to the last witness, and who had been examined on the former investigation, was called, and said that the prisoner Lynor had come in some time after Hickey and Cane had been taken away, and on her asking him where he had been he said to see two girls borne, and that AY he was coming back he saw a policeman stretched on the aide of the road, and that as he was coming by he struck him, or struck against him, she did not know which. Mr. Elliott—Sew if you cannot recollect. and say which it was? Witness—l think be said he kicked him when he saw him down. At the suggestion of Mr. Inspector Carter the witness was asked if the prisoner Lynor dtd not sa y that he h i d given the list kick; hit she denied h wing heard him Use such expressions. The witness, in reply to a Ties tion also suggested by Mr. Carter, admitt"d that wh en the prisoner Cane first came home with his face cut aid bleeding, he had a hat on, and this he changed tor a cap, and went out wearing the latter. The witness was ex amined and cross examined at considerable length +bout the periods at which the prisoner came home on the night in question, but her statement did net differ mate rially from the testimony she bad given on • her former examination. de posed that abou t Police constable Puddyhat t, 98 ten minutes or a quarter to one clockon Monday morn sag he saw the prisoners Lynn, Th omas Burke, and two women, in Vauxhall-walk, standing by a railway arch between the White Lion public-house and No. 49, Vauxhall-walk. As be passed them one of the women said, " That is not the man that locked yrut up, is it?" and one of the men said, " Let us go." One of tho women asked him if he should be on the beat the follow ing night, but be made them no answer. Mr. Elliott — Wha t was the re p l y made to the first Witness-1 did not h ear i t , q uestion of the female ? your Worship, Police -sergeant Charles Burges Gaff, 4L, said the White Lion was at the end of Vauxhall-walk, and the distance from it to 49, where the prisoner lodged, was 178 yards, while the distance from it to where the constable was murdered was 663 yards ; so that in going from the White Lien they must have passed their residence by about 400 yards. Witness, on being in formed of the murder on Monday morning, and see ing this clinkers in possession of ono of the constables, examined the precincts and gardens of the different houses in the neighbourhood, and found that they had been taken from the garden of the house No. 121, Vauxhall -walk, a distance in the direction of the pri soners' residence of exactly fifty-three body where . they hal b een fouud, Led ahert, t he body of .ay. Mr. Inspector Carter s lid be had other evidence to adduce; but he did not think it prudent. at the presen t stage of t he i nqu i r y to p ro duce, his witness , but should request a fu r th e r remaiid of all, except the p riso ner Dennis Shanahan, whom he belie v e d to be perfectly in nocent of any participation in the murder. Mr. Games was glad to hear this d ec laration on . the part of the inspector, as he b elieved it to be per fect ly true; and he should, theref ore, as ho was a man w ho bore an unimpeachable character, apply for his imme diate discharge. Mr. Elliott consented to the request, and remanded the other prisoaere to a MU() day. Th , court daring the inquiry was much crowded, and the brutal assas,ination has created a most lively sen sation through the prish of Lamacth, nod particularly amongst the inhabitants of that part of it where Chaplin did duty. At the end of the examination, the magistrate sug gested to Mr. Inspi cur Cirti-r the prnprie7 of the Go vprnment .ff•ring A ri ward to any pprs , n, except the. ri ally guilty plrits'a, who had wimp:s,RJ the h ct. and who would come forward as witnesses, so that the per petrators of the brutal offence might be brought to justice..

Johnson Wood, a man about 40 years of age, de scribed as a commission traveller, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Moon, charged with obtaining goods to the value of 60/. and upwards under false pre tences. lie was also charged with illegally pawning a piece of hat plush, value about 201, the property of Mr. E. K. D ►vies, agent to M. Faessler Pezzi, silk manufac turer, of Paris and Lyons. It may be in the remembrance of some of our readers that, about six or eight months ago, a person of the name of Ed ward Matthew Macklin was committed from this court for obtaining 6001 worth of goods of the same par ties, representing that he required them as samples so submit for inspection at the great houses of business in and about London. On the examination it was shown that Macklin had been acting in concert with the pri soner, who had hitherto contrived to elude the vigilance of the authorities. Mr. Davies, in stating his case, said—l was obliged to bribe prisoner's servant, Thomas Ward, in order to enable me to take Macklin. The prisoner got out of the way at that time, and I have been on the look out fur him ever since. From information I received that prisoner was in Manchester, I went there on Wednesday last, and applied to the authorities for a warrant to apprehend him, which, however, was refused, as the offence was not committed within their jurisdiction, and I applied to this court, and a warrant having been granted, prisoner was apprehended. Prisoner said he would reserve his defence, and he was then remanded for additional particulars. MARYLEBONE, CUTTING AND WOUNDING. Yesterday William Franklin was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughto❑ for final examination, on the charge of cutting and wounding George Smith, a private in the 17th Lancers. A great deal of evidence was gone into upon a former and the present occasion, and it appeared that on the night of the 28th ult. the prosecutor, with two of his comrades, was walking along the Hampstead-road, when the prisoner called him a "saraddie," and knocked him off the footpath into the carriage-way. Some altercation and a few rounds at " iistycuffs" took place between them, but they were speedily separated by 79 and 224 of the S division of police. Prosecutor then found that he had been stabbed. and he believed that the prisoner had committed the injury upon him with a knife, as he had seen one in his (prisoner's) hand just before the blood streamed from his forehead. He was conveyed to the London University Hospital, where he was attended to by the house surgeon, Mr. White, who described the wound to be an incised one, an inch and a quarter in length, and cut to the bone. The said wound had evi dently been caused by some kind of instrument, and not by a fall on gravel or any stones in the road In answer to the Magistrate,the officers said that there had not been any knife found. The prisoner repeated what he had said before—viz., that he bad no knife in his possession, and that he never carried one about him; adding, that the injury done to the prosecutor must have been occasioned by his falling in the course of the scufflJ and fight which they had together. He was fully committed for trial on the charge of cut ting and wounding, with intent to do some grievous bo• dily harm. THE LATE CHARGE AGAINST A PoLa.—Adolphe Cza plantri, a Pole, was brought up for re-examination, charged with having, by false and fraudulent represen tations, endeavoured to obtain money from Lord Leigh, 30, Portman-square. The particulars of what transpired upon previous ex aminations have already appear( d in our paper. Some additional evidence was now brought forward by the Mendicity Society, but as the case was not look.d upon by the magistrate to be one upon which he should be justified in convicting the prisoner, who was lavish in his abuse of the Polish Association, he was discharged. WESTMINSTER. Yesterday Isaac White, aged 10, and William Nichols, aged 13, were finally examined on a charge of stealing a 51. note of the Gloucester Bank; and Mr. trillium Cave, an opulent tradesman, carrying on an extensive business at 26, Rathbone-place, as toyman, with felo niously receiving the same owe. The prisoner White admitted his guilt, and Nichols said White bad offered another boy ls. to get the note changed. On the part of Mr. Cave it was submitted that there was nothing to show a guilty knowledge in receiving the note; he did not know the boy bad not picked it up. The boy was in the habit of coaling from a wholesale manufacturer of toys, and Mr. Cave did not think for a moment he we, doing any wrong in buying it. He was a highly respectable man. He had been twelve years in his present shop. In buying a country note Cave incurred a risk that the bank might be broken, and gave sufficient value for it. Mr. BRODERIP—It is my duty to send the case for trial. It will be for the Jury to say whether the prisoner Cave received the note under such circumstances as would raise a fair presumption that he must have been aware it was stolen. A boy comes into a tradesman's shop, says he has picked up a note, and instead of send ing for the policeman and giving the boy into his hands, he haggles about the price, and then gives him a sovereign fur a SZ note. The Solicitor applied for Mr. Cave to be admitted to bail, as he had no intention of doing wrong. Mr. BRODERIP refused, and remarked that the moral state of the prisoner's mind must be an odd one if he could not consider he was doing wrong in acting as ho had done. All the prisoners were committed for trial at the Cen tral Criminal Court. The court was thronged with the friends of the pri soner Cave. —Y sterday a most ExTRAoRDINAny no CLEpRKcEEENIWNDGE.
