MADAME TussAun's.—There has just been added to the Chamber of Horrors another atrocious criminal, in the person of Miles Weatherhill, the atrocioas Todinor den murderer. The likeness is unquestionably most lark ing; aul the figure will, without doubt, attract many visitors to the exhibition. EXETER HALL.—The performance of the " Wal purgis Night" and "Acis and Galatea," to be given by the National Choral Society this evening, will commence at half-past seven in lieu of eight o'clock, as originally an nounced. The Governors of Guy's Hospital have this week been presented with ten pictures by Mr. John Ab solon, painted expressly by him for the decoration of the sick wards. These are chiefly enlarged duplicates of the artist's previous works, painted in pure water-colour, mixed with a powerful preservative material. The pictures average 8 feet by 7 feet each, and are remarkable for their homely and cheerful charac ter. To allow the public an opportunity of judging of the merits of the gift, the governors have granted the use of the gallery of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 53, Pall-mall, which will remain open for the exhibition of the pictures for a fortnight. KING THEODORE AGAIN.--King Theodorus has just made a fresh capture, that of the Austrian Commis siouer at the Universal Exhibition, M. Schaffer. By way of turning his leisure to account this gentleman made in Abyssinia, and having imprudently approached too near the States of the Sovereign, was arrested and made trumpeter in a regiment of dragoons. At all events such is the story told by the German papers. PRESENTS TO SUIT EVERT PURPOSE, TASTE, ANY.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1868, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. ROLLS CHAMBERS—THIS DAY. BROUGHAM V. CAUVIN. This case came before the chief clerk of the Rolls, on an important application as to the de posit of the correspondence of the noble and learned lord, in the court pending the case. It will be recollected that Dr. Cauvin was engaged to select and arrange numerous letters and documents relating to the memoirs of Lord Brougham, and claimed a sum for his literary labours, which Lord Brougham would not pay, and hence the institution of the suit. The object of the learned lord was, by this present application, to have the documents . deposited in the Record Court Office before the hearing of the cause, and the defendant objected to deposit the same. The chief clerk declined to make the order, as prayed. HORRIBLE DISCOVERY IN THE CITY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before ➢lr. Commissioner Winslow.) FINDING OF THE BODIES OF INFANTS IN A CELLAR. IN RE SIR MORTON PETO, BART., BETTS, AND This great case came again before the Court to dly, when Mr. Linklater proposed to resume the examination of Sir Morton Peto as to the claims of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Corn pany's claim for £6,600,000. The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— This forenoon Mr. Win. Payne, the City coroner, held an investigation at the Crown Tavern, Red Cross-street, Barbican, respecting the supposed murder of a male child, and the discovery of a num ber of human bones, at No. 11, Hanover-court, Milton-street, City. Michael Manion, 8, Sun-court, Milton-street, a carpenter, deposed that on Thursday last he was employed in making some repairs at Mr. Reynolds' house, 11, Hanover-court. In the rear of the house be observed that the pavement wanted to be repaired, and he went to look for a stone for the purpose of settling it. In tlya cellar, close by the stairs, he observed a stone, some 1t; inches long by 9 broad, and, thinking it would suit his purpose, he struck it, preparatory to pulling it up. To hii surprise he heard a hollow sound. le did nothing more then, however, but he Heat away. In half an hoar he decided to go back and lift it up. With sonic tools he lifted it up and removed it. The place was dark. He put in his hand and placed it on something cold, which he found to be the head of a child. lie left it then and got a light, and then saw the ❑aked body of a child lying on its back. He did nothing further then. The following day (Friday) lie told his employer, who had the contract for repairing the house, and the police were communicated with. Witness accom panied a policeman to the cellar, and showed him the child. It was then taken out of the hole. There was something fastened round the child's waist, and the legs were tied together. They dug down about two feet, and found a quantity of bones. There were legs, arms, and bits of skulls. Dr. F. H. Simpson, police-surgeon, said he had examined the body. There were two wounds on the right side of the head ; there was another wound on the left. The latter wound was nearly three inches long. The scalp was parted from the bone, and the skull was fractured. In his opi nion the child must have been dead only a week when it was discovered. The cause of de ceased's death was, iii his opinion, the extensive in jutY,to the head. • Mr. Lawrence said to-day had been appointed for the last examination and order of discharge, but it was clear there must be an adjournment. His Honour confessed that he did not know at present to what length the examination of Sir M. Peto would extend. Mr. Linklater pointed out that there was a mistake in the balance-sheet of over £lOO,OOO, be cause the bankrupts claimed a large sum to be due to their estate from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, how his clients, the rail way company, claimed an enormous sum, and look ing at the balance-sheet he (Mr. Linklater) could bee thz.t there would not be a shilling for any body. His Honour—Do you mean one shilling in the pound ? Mr. Linklater meant that in the joint estate of the bankrupts there would not be a farthing in the pound for anybody. It would thus be seen that it made very little difference to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company whether they proved for the £6,600,000, or for less; but they owed a duty to their debenturesbolders, and that duty they must carry out. He thought that it would be the best plan to adjourn the meeting for the last exa mination for three weeks, so that this claim of the Loudon, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany might be regularly discussed. He expected that Sir Morton Peto's examination would last two days after the present sitting. Mr. Crampton knew very little about the matter, but Mr. Betts would be examined, as would also some of the officers of the company, including Mr. Holroyd, the secretary. Mr. Munns, for a creditor, considered that Mr. Linklater's proposition was only reasonable and ought to be acceded to by all parties. Mr. Maynard, for the assignees, did not agree with Mr. Linklater. ➢lr. Lawrence, for the bankrupts, contended that the examination of Sir Morton Peto was totally unnecessary. There was already a nuse in Chan cery and most voluminous evidence had been given, so that this Court was now acting as assistant exa miner to the Court of Chancery. He was quite sure that the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company would not be able to displace one figure of the claim of the bankrupts, and it would be most unreasonable to keep them before the Court. His Honour did not consider that it would be proper to name an early day, and it would be better to adjourn the last examination and order of dis charge for two months, when the present large claim would be probably settled. Mr. Lawrence said he did not wish it to go forth that there would be no assets in this case. Besides the estate of Peto, Betts, and Crampton, there was the estate of Peto and Betts, and, as regarded that, there was already £lOO,OOO in hand, so that a very good dividend might be expected. Mr. Linklater remarked that he should at the proper time object to any dividend being paid until the claim of his clients was decided. His Honour, in answer to Mr. Maynard, said a special day would be named for the consideration of certain claims against the estate. The examination of Sir Morton Peto was then proceeded with, and the bankrupt was being ques tioned by Mr. Linklater as to the transactions with the company, when this report left. POLICE lIVTELLMENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A TEACHER OF DANCING.—AmeIia Brown, Henry Brown, Henry Edward, and James Pillar, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting John Stanley Drew, teacher of dancing, residing at No. 19, Thomas-street, Stamford-street, Blackfriars. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street ; appeared for the prisoner Pillar. The evidence of the complainant was to the effect that he was walking along Piccadilly last night, when the female prisoner without any provocation struck him in the eye, and directly after Edwards knocked him down, and then the prisoner Brown kicked him, and on his getting up again Brown knocked him down, and Pillar kicked him. Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the complain ant, and also a witness who gave similar evidence, and having addressed the magistrate on Pillar's behalf, Klr. Thomas Reynolds, 11, Hanover-court, City, deposed that he was an undertaker, and that he had lived at his present residence for 14 years. The cellar in question was open to all in the house on account of the dust-bin being there. He could not say how the body came there. The street-door opened by a string. He put all still-born children that he got into shells for burial, and he could show by receipts (which he handed in) that he paid the fees for burying such children. Since the die covery had been made in the cellar the door had been nailed up. Sarah Kelly was then called—She said that she was a widow, living at 50, Regent-street, Lam beth. She was recently absent from home, attend ing her daughter, Elizabeth Beckley, who was mar ried last year to a carman, living at 62, Long alley, Bishopsgate. Mrs. Beckley was confined on Saturday fortnight. Witness was present, and so was a doctor. It was a male child, and was born about half-past one in themorning. It lived till half-past six on Saturday evening. The doctor saw the child during the day. It was con vulsed at times, but the doctor said, " While there is life there is hope." It had received no hurt during birth. Witness identified the body found in Mr. Reynolds's cellar as that of her grand child. She knew the flannel. When the child died it was laid out, and the father got an undertaker, who came and measured it, and took it away on Wednesday week. Joseph Beckly, a carman, said that he was the father of the child. After the death he went to an undertaker, who asked too much, and then he asked a friend who buried his children. The, friend told him Mr. Wicks. He went to Mr. Wicks, who sent him to Mr. Reynolds, to whom he then went. Mr. Reynolds was not at home--he was in a public house. Witness told Mr. Reynolds that he had a child dead that he wanted to get buried. " Do you want to make a funeral of it ?" Mr. Reynolds asked. Witness said, " No, lam only a poor man, and my money aint much." " Well," said Mr. Reynolds, " I'll do it without a funeral for lls." On the Wednesday while witness was out Mr. Reynolds took away the body in a shell. Witness got a receipt from him as follows :—" Received of Mr. Beckly lls. for the expenses of his child's funeral. March 13, 1868. T. Reynolds." Joseph Fowke, detective of the City force, said that he went to 11, Hanover-court, and in the cel lar he found a hole. It appeared to have been for merly a sort of well bricked round and filled up. He had it dug out, and discovered a quantity of pieces of the skulls of children. He afterwardssaw Reynolds at Moore-lane police-station, and told him the body of a child had been found in his cellar. lie said he knew nothing at all about it, and that he had not got a stillborn child to bury for the last ten or twelve months. Witness eventually suc ceeded in getting the receipt signed by Mr. Rey nolds. The Coroner asked whether the police thought they could get evidence to alter the complexion given to the case by the evidence of Mrs. Kelley ? Detective Fowke said that he did not think that was likely. lie heard that the child died in the arms of a respectable woman named Jones, who was not, however, present. Dr. Simpson said that he would modify his first evidence from what he heard. It appeared that the child had been dead longer than he supposed, and it was just possible that the effusion on the head, where the injuries had been, were occasioned by the pressure and the lapse of time. But the broken rib could not have been. The Coroner asked whether the broken rib could have been the cause of death ? Dr. Simpson said he thought not. Dr. Flack said that he would attribute death to debility, or exhaustion from convulsions. The oroner said that it was satisfactory to find the case so far cleared up, for at first it seemed as if a very foul murder had been committed. The conduct of Mr. Reynolds could not be dealt with by the jury ; buy nothing could be more reprehensible. This case showed what facilities such a disgraceful system would give for the disposal of murdered children. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he considered the case made out, and fined the prisoners each. CAUTION TO CAB DRIVERS—CRUELTY TO a HORSE.—David Norman, a cab driver, badge 1487, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Royal So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse, by working it in an unfit state. The jury then returned a verdict of death from exhaustion, arising from convulsions from natural causes. Inspector Teraperley, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved see ing the prisoner driving a horse attached to a four wheel cab in Regent -street. his attention was at tracted to the horse by seeing it flinching from the saddle as if in pain, and on examining the horse he found that it had a large suppurated sore on its back with the saddle pressing into it, that it was lame of three legs, having contracted feet, and the tendon of one of the forelegs was also contracted. The horse appeared to be suffering great pain, and its nostrils were much distended. A quantity of the bones found in the hole in the cellar were produced, and examined by Drs. Simp son and Flack. They found that the remains of at least four children were in the parcel. Same bones of animals were amongst those of the children. It was supposed to be useless to attempt to go into the case of the children the portion of whose skeletons were discovered. The prisoner said the horse was only seven years old, and that he was going to turn it out. Temperley said the horse was nearly 14 years old. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 403 or a month. The amount of Australian gold known to be now on the way to England is as much as £1,005,000, of which a considerable portion will be duo in about a fortnight. The large increase in the remittances arises from the cir cumstance that the export duty on gold was taken off at Melbourne on the Ist of January last. The Lady Melville has £264,003 ; Kenilworth, £37,000; Macduff, £290,000; Mediator, £37,000; True Briton, £115,000; Holmesdale, £190,000 ; and the Superb, £72,000.

A tedious delay at the post, made more irksome by the increasing coldness of the weather, was occasioned by the repeated breaking away of Stradbroke and the restlesness exhibited by Clarice, who resisted most resolutely all her rider's efforts to get her to join her horses. At last, to the no little gratification of the spectators, the signal flag was lowered exactly at 4 45, just one hour and a half after the time set dcwn on the card. They ran some few strides before the actual positions could be defined, when Kettle holder was seen in the van, but he RS suddenly disap peared, and the running was taken up by The Parson on the right of his horses, closely followed by Brother to Knight of the Crescent, Lady Rosehill, Russian Bear,Red bourne, and Knight of the Garter—the latter on the inside. To these succeeded Cheltenham,Aborgeldie, Van.l.mb:ugh, Blinkhoolie, Speculum, Nemea, Stradbroke, and Nyanza I in a body, the ruck headed by Thalia, the Attack colt, Kettleholder, and The Breach lying close in their track, whipped in by Clarice and Bessie Dixon. Proceeding through the furzes, Blinkhoolie and Speculum somewhat improved their positions, and, on entering the old course at the mile post, they were seen close in the track of the leaders who came streaming down the hill for the Tattenham Corner in close company, but when fairly round the bend the popular colours of Mr. Merry grade .11y disappeared from their proud positions, followed in a few strides further by Redbourne, and Russian Bear, which left Brother to Knight of the Crescent in command, attended by Lady Rosehill, Knight of the Garter, Nemea, and Abergeldie on the lower side, with Van A.mburgh Bliukhoolie, and Speculum on the higher ground. At the road Mr. Crawford's colt was added to the list of the beaten division, and Lady Rosehill, for a brief period, flattered her backers by being seen in front, but as they neared the distance she gave way, in company with Nemen, thereby leaving the heavy weight with the lead, hut he in turn gave way to Abergeldie, who appeared to have everything beaten at the commencement of the in closure, but Cameron here brought out Speculum, who came like a shot out cf a cannon iu the centre of the Stand, and won with the most ridiculous ease by three lengths, Abergeldie defeating the game challenge of the Knight of the Garter by a head for second money. Lady Rosehill finished fourth, close up, with Blinkhoolie fifth, Nemea sixth, Nyanza seventh, and Stradbroke next, pull ing up in a body. To these succeeded Van Amburgh, Feodor, The Parson, the Attack colt, Chelsea, Paul Jones, and Thalia in a body, 'whipped in by Kettleholder, The Breech, Milton, and Bessie Dixon, the last of whom did not peas the post.

The Earl of MAYO opposed the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months.

Knighton Abergavenny littuibledon Kildare Hunt Croydon Spring Rothbury " BATTY AND THE BEASTS" is the title of a chap ter in a book of travels, from which we extract the follow ing graphic description :—" One evening in the early sum mer, a violent thunder storm burst over Paris. My apart ment overlooked the Cirque de l'lmpe,ratrice in the Champs Elysees, where the lions wore kept, and the scene for a short space was indescribably grand. The air was full of electricity, and under its influence these animals, as is al ways the case, became fearfully excited. They ran to and fro in fierce and ungovernable rage. They lashed their flanks with their tails in passionate vehemence. Placing their mouths to the ground, they roared in mingled rage and terror, their eyes dilated, and seemed to flash forth the lightnings of the tempest that rioted within them. Without, the roaring of the lions was answered by the howls of the blast and the loud crash. of the thunder. With these intervals were mingled the neighings of a hundred frightened horses in the stables of the circus. Gusts of wind swept down the broad avenue and bowed thelofty trees. The rain descended in torrents. The people fled from the demon of the storm. Fora few minutes the whole vicinity seemed given up to the furies of elemental warfare. Scarce had the mutter ing thunders died away in distant reverberations, when the time drew near for Batty's advert among his brutes. As he came in sight, they hailed him with boisterous up roar. Standing upright against the massive bars, they grappled them in their rage and gnashed upon him with their teeth. A man of iron nerves could hardly have looked upon them with calmness. Had his body been made of steel he would scarcely have dared to trust him self among them. But Batty did not quail. At a bound. he leaped into the cage, despising all hesitation. Its iroa door he slammed after him with a loud clang. To us who looked on it seemed the gate of a sepulchre. His subjects glared at him as if they would instantly devour him. For a moment he returned their gaze, and looked steadily into the eyes of each. They could not bear the test. One by one they cowered before him and slunk away, conscious of their helplessness. Again mind triumphed over the rude dictates of instinct, and rah, the lord and master, towered in his pride of place." Tax IMPEACIINIENT OF I'IIrSIDENT JMNSYY aeon a TIMM OF TERROII.—DJ the Arne:lean people realise the revulutiea they are passing through ? Is it a small thing to impesch the President of the United States and to depose him on such flimsy and ridiculous charges as the radicals have trumped up against Mr. Johnson ? Ills worst enemies do not assail his honesty or integrity.• He has endeavoured to perform his duty according to his understanding of it, and the constitution which he has s corn to p: eserse. His sole offence is that he hits not gone with the dominant party in Congress in their efforts to Africanize the country and to revolutinuiz3 the govern. ment. Is it a small thing to remove a President for party purposes alone? Such a thing was never dreamed of before in the United Stat es . I t i s an important and very long stride in the way of revolution, And who a short time ago would have thought that a large aectien of the coun try, ten States of the Union, would be kept for years under military despotism in time of peace ? Who would have thought that these States and the white people of our own flesh and blood would be put under the government of barb arous negroes 1 Who would have ima gined that Congress would have ventured to abolish the Executive and usurp all the powers of government in its own hands ? Who would have believed that a powerful faction would dare set acid- the constitution and declare it &ad ? Yet all this Las been done, and iruch more, within th, brief period of two or three years. Is not thie revile. tion ? It would be hard to Lad in history a greater and more rapid revolution • • bin as short a time,. No, the revolution would not stop , -'l,ll toe deposition of the President. Th a t ev e n t r Jo ie on ly acce l era t e it. The necessities of the Jacobin passe would impel it on to other revolutionary measures, and probably to serious conflicts among the people. The people would . become familiaris e d with these high.banded and despisec proceedings, and either apathy, which is destructive to liberty, or counter. revolutions would follow. What under other circumstances and in former times would have strartled them might no longer create surprise, and a reign of despotism or ana rc h y would ensue. The military despotism over the South may be extended to the North. Some disturbance may be fomented as a plea for suspending the writ of habeas corpus and governing the North as well as the South by the strong arm of military power. As this revolution proceeds we shall soon find our securities will run down abroad, that they will be sent back in vast numbers, and that both the government and country will be plunged into great financial troubles and bankruptcy.
