Sir R. H. INGLIS suggested that the electric tele ; graph should be put into use for the purpose: Sir JAMES GRAHAM thought. perhaps,-it would be better if; as of old, the Sergeant-at-Arius were to to • round to the several Conimittee rooms to summon the Members. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that he certainly bad arrived in time to be one of the twenty-eight Members Present, but he had experienced great difficulty in getting • in in consequence of the crowd of Members assembled round the doors outside, who intreated hiurnot to go in, and he was-near having,hts coat torazoff. -- A desultory conversatien took place, in the course of 'which several Members said • they had just• arrived , in time to be too late, and bore testimony to there being a sufficient number outside the doors to make a House. SCHOOL ESTABLISHMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord MELGUND moved the second reading of this Bill. His reason for doing so was .a conviction which he entertained that the means at present existing in " Scotland for the education of the people were not so ex • tensive as they were supposed to be, or as was necessary. The system of education to be established - under this Bill Would be supported by local taxation, and placed under a certain amount of local management. The a; stem which he wished to:see created was that which the people them *elves could superintend the working of, and he was most 'anxious that nothing should creep into this Bill which should seem to indicate that the Legislature want( d to 'pacify what should, and what ahoulu not, be taught. Rig own opinion, however, was, that religious and secu ' ler education ought to be separated, and Dr. Chalmers had often propounded the doctrine that any legislative Measure for regulating the education of the people should be entirely divested of the religious etement.—(Hear.) At present there were some 5,000 schools iu Scotland, and of that number 1,800 were unconnected with atiy religious sect. The Noble Lord then briefly reviewed the legis lation of peat ups on this subject. and proceeded to ob serve, the population' of Scotland was about 3.000,000. Now, allowing five children for every thousand would Aire 600,000 as the number of children in Scotland. Two hundred thousand of those were educated in schools belonging to the Free Church, and allowing 1 00,000 as the number educated by the schools uncon nected with any sect, they would have a clear result of 300,000 children at present in Scotland whose education vras totally unprovided fir. The object of this Bill was to remove that vast extent of moral cestitinion, end the Mode by which he proposed to attain it was easy of acquisition, simple in its operation, and comparatively speaking inexpensive. He would nut detain the House `longer, but appealing to the House to give the Bill their heat consideration, he would sit down moving its second reading. —(flear. hear.) • Mr. F. MACKENZIE deplored with the Noble Lord the amount of moral destitution that prevailed in Scot land, but:he thought the means of education could be greatly extended without distut bine' ' the present aYsteat —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") No one could dispute successfully that I.lielation was nee , scary. on the subject, because it was high time that something ,W, as done 'for the educatiat of children in Scotland, but re question was far too important to be left in the cantle of a private Member. It would be much better, therefore, that this Bill should be abaft-. dosed, and • the whole question referred to the coneideration of a Sel ct Cowneetie. The sesiion wos too far advanced to edmit f that hell g done now, but there was no hurry required in triaming their 1- gielazion on the subject, and the question itig , ,t well he n up in at the beginning of next session. He objected to this Bill on the ground that it would effect an ntire dis ruption between the parish schools and the Church of Scotland, and alter the mode of electing the school Masters.

E XTENSIVE FIRE.—A very extensive fire broke out yesterday (Tuesday) at. the coal depot of the Birming ham and Blackwell Railway, at the I. alecb.nia-road, sup posed to be owing to a spark or piece of coke from the loco motive engine falling up , tn the extensive timber coal shutes just finished. The flames threatened not only to stop the traffic of the line, but also the destruction of the adjoining building belonging to Mr. Cubitt's brick-yard. Tne engine be longing to the Model Prison was immediately brought out un der the direction of the efficient staff or the establishment, and in a few minutes was in full activity, obtaining a supply of wat , -r from a well on Mr. Cubitt's premises.

COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE. Mr. Horace St. John continues his carefully compiled and well written" History of the British Conquests in India." The present instalmeot is principally occupied by the narrative of the glciries of the hero of Plessey, 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 cautio us ly abstained from territorial acquisition, and that it was not until compelled for their owo 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 dominion. The author of an article, entitled " The High Road to India," strongly recommends the immediate opening of negotia tions with the Sublime Porte for the cession of Egypt to the British as absolutely necessary to secure to us the continued possession of our Indian empite. "Oar Defences and Defenders" is a valtrible paper, will worth the attentive consideration of chose whose duly it is to eu.ke adequate provision for the repulse of any threatened invasion of our island; in con nection with this aubjec-, the paper on Mr. Fergnsson's pro k ;osed new and improved system of fortification should also be carefully attuned.

TILE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE.. Sylvanui Ui ban goes at lengli into the controversy between Cardinal Wircmin and La y Morgan on the subject of St. P.-ter'a chair, and convicts the Cardinal of plagiaiism. The Cardinal has bOrrowecl every word he has advanced on the subject from a Latin treatise written by Fabei in the middle of the last century, and ha:: not coo de wended to notice - even the existence of the man from whom he has copied; and of ignorance, since, according to his own description of the chair, it could not have been a curule chair, nor achair of any pi , riod anterior to the age of Constantine; or, it not of ignorat.ce, of something worse. Sylvanus 000cludea by de claring that after pausing the publications of the Cardinal, . the Lady, and Mr. Rich, on this subject., there is left for the. Cardinal and for the authorieics of the Rumish Church, if they wish to re-i s.ablish the chair and its consequences, no alternative , but to ac cept the challenge contained in Lady Morgan's short sentence, (13" m-risible as it is curt—" Produce the chair."

TO THE SECIIETAR I OF THE BRADFORD BEFORM ASSOCIATION. (xvxax MONDAY AND WEDMISDAY.) Sir,—On Monday the 2nd, significant tokens appeared , 'f a desire to esesipe from the promised Select Commit tee en the Income Tax; the whole pointing at the probability there alwa)s is, that an a t tempt on the part of a few individuals to have things all their own way, will end in their having 'something very different from what they intended. Au opposition was raised to the Minister's *three . years' Income Tax, on the ground that it should only be granted tor one year and the interval should be ex pended in inquiring what could be dune to make the tnx what the actors denominated "fair . " It was dUubtinl whether they knew what they meant by the term ; or at all events whether they could explain the causes or grounds on which the justice of the denomination was tiependent.. But they were full of the persuasion they could do something ; and so they threw over the Minister's three years' Income Tax, by a ma jority of fourteen. And now there is considerable ap pearance that their turn is come to be thrown over themselves. The Government does not vote against the appointment of the Committee, but it is plain that no. body is zealous tor it but the mover. A month has keen quietly lost, since tbe Committee was first talked of ; and the. chance is consequently small, that much will be done before the time comes round for debating the subject in the 'Luse. The fact is, the Government had rather sr ait debated there, than in a Committee. Their reason pthe y ably being, b cannot tttt prevent they the k insertioneo i that v in of Ea Com mittee active majority • p 1 their enemies, whereas' in the House they will take tat it chance. On the bane evening the second clause of tho Reck= sist.tical Titles Bill made such advance as consisted iu ne gativing a couple of amendments by majorities of six or seven to one; which is called .reporting progress, and the Committee sits again on Friday. The proposals fur in sertions going beyond the measure of the Government, were withdrawn. On Tuesday there Was no House. The zeslior volun teer rev-Woos of the Constitution, is considerably damped by the promise of the Government. I amp Sir, }tours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, June 4, 1851. We regret to that a: animuneet the Liverpool Stock Exchange on Saturdav, the liabilities'ot'l which are reported to Pe Akoooe.,..,,Limm4wion. - failure' oCcurred on si ~`. 'SMITHFIELD MARKET REMOVAL BILL. Tho Co:nmittee met yestorday marniug at the usual how. The case for the City Corpcira!ion, in opposition to the r. inoval of the market, was continued, and, with the view (0 - beset explaining the inepiovenistits priya.ed to be . made in the exitiog market, a model on a l.rge was exhibited to the Cottnenittic. The Inerleet, when i t t:i.; , e d, would .Contain 6,0.57 bullocks - and.4o,oVo sheep, with ample space for. each-anirnal. The dead-mear. mar -ket was to front the cattle enclosures, and several tains and jets d"cau WtO a to supoly the area with water. &circular' huilding was to.bo constructedas is bath and w3shttense, and the marke't itself would be encircled 'with a terrac.., built on arches., with-tacentral inclined plane loading down to the ciittle pens. Near the dead mt-at market, were to be abfftoirs, and at either corner of 1 the marliet wire designedealf and pig-markets. J. D•iimort, a butcher rta•iding at Camberwell, stated that he purchased and huh d ebnut 3,000 sheep and 200 beasts every year. lie did not find that be sus • tamed ary it , e 3 from injury to the animals in S''aithfielcl, and he conceived that in general they were not damaged in the market. If the beasts were killed at the northern extremity of the town and then carted home, the meet ; wettle be disfigured, and would not keep so long. A Liss would be eustaieed by the butcher from the more rapid decay of his meat con,ceptrnt upon its removal from the B ing:liter-house before it was cooled and set. The et , .*:ablishmtit of a triszket in the north would be of contideratdo injury to butetters in a small way ef busi ness. It the accommodation in Smithfield were increased he should be very gl:d of it; bat he did not think tha; any bitter „tile.. for. . a cattle-market could be. telectecl. Mr, Lawrence, a surgeon, was then examined as to the off:naive nature if tie - hone-hoiling places, slaughter heuses, aid kuackers' yeads near Smithfield.—These oc cupations must to a cersein extent influence the health of a locality. Mr. 'Henry King, a butcher of Brighton, in a large way ot businese, also deposed that the beasts sustained much sewer injury from travelling by reikway than from ariviug. The quality of the London meat was very good, it looked brighter than country meat. Did not believe that a better site could be found for a cattle market than at Smithfield. Mr. Cooper, a butcher of Great Portman-street, and Hr. Thomas Sin:mends, butcher of Brompton, both stated that the present central site of the market was more convenient to the trade than tiny site at the I northern end ni the town. Beasts were more damaged by railway travelling than by driving. Mr. S. Phipps, a butcher in - Belgrave-street, near Beigrave•square, stated that he- was in a large way of business, and purchased his beasts at Smithfield. His shiughter•hethe was in Totbill-street, -Westminster. He 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. Ile 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. Wakefield, 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 be 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 the m by railway. The removal of the market from its present sire to the north of London would make a difference of 150/. yearly in his expenses. Wit ness at present paid is. per bead to the drovers for driving his cattle from Smithfield to Woolwich; but if the market were removed to the north they would charge an extra 61—not so much because of the differ ence in the distance, as from the necessity of driving the cattle quite through the City, and the increased re sponsibility consequent upon it. Sir C. Knightiey stated that he h a d b een i n t h e habit for many years of sending beasts for sale in Smithfield. Although he resided in Northamptonshire, and consequently his cattle arrived at the northern end of the metropolis, he did not think that a market there would - be beneficial. Ile preferred Smithfield from its central position, and should of course send there, as the greatest numbsr of hue ers were found there. Almost the whole of his property was derived from grazing, and some of his tenants were vary large graziers. He never heard any of them express a wish to have Smithfield market removed. Mr. Bunning stated that he was architect to the cor poration of London, who were in the habit of consulting him on all their improvements and general works. Mr. Sergeant WRANcaall stopped tho 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 proposed would cer tainly require an Act. Mr. &rgeaes WRANGHASI objected to the testimony , of the witness. It schemes, 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 nu saying where the evidence would end. Mr. TALBOT said, that no one knew better than Ser geant Wranghtani that such an objection was at variance with the general practice before the Committees of the House ot Commons. The .city of London appeared before the Cointnittee as hindowners, holdingivreperty upon which it had pleased former Sovereigns to eenfer 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 charters. The ground on which this was sought to be done was the inconve nience and risk attendant upon the existence of a large cattle market in the centre of a crowded city, and when he attempted to show that the evils complained of would be remedied by the plan proposed by the corpo ration, and the necessity for the abolition of the market lemoved e be was met by a technical objection, by which his right of evidence was denied. Ile contended that' the scheme proposed by the corporation was far better than the violent and cruse measure proposed by his Learned Friend, and ho thought that their scheme, therefore, had a perfect right to be entertained by the committee. The practice to he 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 bo con tended that in another Committee on a railway Bill such an objection would be tenable. Mr. Sergeant WRANCIRAM stated, that the argument of Mr. Talbot, that the City corporation were land owners, was one to which he did not subscribe. It would ,be seen, when the charters were referred to, whether the corporation of the city of London were the owners of the land in Smithfield. He (Mr. Sergeant Wrangham) believed that the corporation appeared as the owners of a certain franchise—as the prop r i etors of certain tolls. At all events, he would leave that part of the case, and urge upon the Committee the fact that the proposition which was illustrated by the model before them, had been made to the House of Commons this session, and rejected by a very large majority. His Learned Friend Would surely not contend that it was the practice of Com mittees to allow an opposing scheme to any project to be brought before them after it had been rejected by the House of Commons. air. TALBOT bad only attempted to uphold a proposi tion which bore upon the question before the Committee. viz., the propriety or necessity of removing the market from its present site. If he could show generally that such a plan could be adopted as would remove the evils complained of withou taking away the market he appre hended that a reference to that plan would not bo objec tionable. • Mr. Sergeant WRANGITAN did not object to the plan being referred to generally, but his Learned Friend had ,no right to go into details on a scheme already decided by the House. The room was then cleared. Shortly after the exclu sion of strangers, the doors were re-opened and the Committee was declared 'adjourned. It Was understood that this adjournment without coming to a decision on the point arose from the fact that the Chairman had retired to consult thej Speaker, but found that there was no Rouse." The point was, therefore, reserved. A question arose as to the power of the Committee to adjourn, under the circumstances, but the , Chairman declared that, in his opinion, the ad journment was perfectly in accordance with the rules of the House. THE BALLOON ASCENT FROM BATTY'S HIPPODROME. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Sin,—W ill you allow me to make a few remarks re leetiug my ascent on the 2i inst., from M r . B utfs Hippodrome. The day was exceedingly fine and calm— indeed, the weather was so still that we were almost stationary For nearly one hour. I was accompanied by two gentlemen and Mr. Grey, architect and surveyor, of Camden Town, and Mr. Wittaker, the architect and builder of Mr. Batty's Hippodrome. After remaining up one hour and three-quarters we safely descended close to the New. cross Railway station, and were most kindly assisted by Mr. Hawkins and other parties connected with the station. My supply of gas was excell ent from the London compiny.—l em, Sir, your., & c , JOHN HAMPTON, ieronaut. SPORTING NOTES. No. LXII. ASCOT lIRATE[ MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Snit ,— No:withstandiDg the hardress a the course, re spectable fields ran for nearly every event yesterday; in one or two instances prodneres; very close end exciting races. - The Moor essayed, and, what in more, actually accomplished the task or giving 4st 13.144 to the Sphynx, Over the New Mile, for the Trial Stakes, winning very cleverly by a 'deck. • Oee of •my Derby fancies, The Prime Minister, bandaged up to the knees, was, after a - fine race, beaten half a length by Little Jack for second place for the Gold Vase, the latter suc climbing by half a neck to Cariboo. King Charming, the Monica Colt, and Windischgratz, were beaten at the distance. Bieba threw her jockey, and afterwards killed an unfortunate coachman who happened to be in her way. The 50 sow. Stakes were won very easily by Merry Peal, beating Aaron Smith and Pkilessen ; the last-named never likely to appear again in her Goodwood form of last sear. Sir Joseph Hawlev's success this year is unparalleled ; the Ascot Stak'es, won in a common canter by Vatican, 5 yrs, 7st 71h, has now to be added to his other triumphs. The field was ' beaten into fits; Herbert u had second, aed Pitslord wretched third, with the Ballet Girl fourth, were all that had any chance whatever with the wiener. My selection from the Goodwood stable for the Two Years Old Triennial—the daughter of Venison aid Soldier's Daughter, Red Hind, won very (sully from Songstress (coughing) and Mculton Lass. Four others ran, viz:—llex (fourth), Free-trader (fifth), c by Theon—Rebecca (sixth), and Denique (last); these, however, were so wide apart that the judge placed them all. The Three Years-old Trieueial was won without an effort by Miserrims, beating ersaus (se cond), the Cowl filly (third), Constellation, Midas, Ans. pacis, Fochabers, end 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 Canezott 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 Phlegethon. The Ban, tooled by Mar son, cut out the work to the last hundred yards, when Marlow on Phlegethon came Suddenly alongside, and contested every remaining inch of the ground, winning after a desperate struggle by a head! 6,7, and in some instances 8 to 1. was hatted on The Ban!, The partizans of the cherry eoloer 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 to Lamartine for the Welcome Stakes; Artisan was second. Lamartine is worth an investment (being an improving horse) at a long shot for the St. Lager. For the Emperor's Plate to-morrow, Rusaborough, Trouncer, Little Jack, and Woolwich, will, I believe, be all that w ill 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 beat 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 nest 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 th e G reat Western Railway Handicap. With the provision for the first day—always the beat of the four —no fault could be found, as, allowing for the probability of sm a ll fi e ld s for three or four races, it in cluded so many events of interest, that we are disposed to think cne 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 four days are to be maintained. The meeting commenced most 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 Hilo 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 Backhounds and the Royal Huntsman, and was attended by the usual retinue of mounted servants. In the carriage with the Queen were the Princess Royal, the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Goths, and Prince Henry of the Nether lands. Prince Albert followed in the next, with the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the Duke of Cambridge. In the other •carridges we observed the Prince.of Leiningen, the Dukes of Devon shire, N ,, rfolk, and Newcastle; Marquisses ot ' Weittan ster and Abercorn, the Countess a Bessborough. Sir George and Lady Grey, Lady Oliver Grosvenor, Lady Adeliza Howard, Lady Constance Gomm, 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 had the original charge for admission to the Exhibition in Hyde-park been in farce. We noticed in it, and in the small stands appro priated to the stewards of tho 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. Earls—Zetland, Granville, March, Eglinton, Ux bridge, Strathmore, Stradbroke, Chesterfield, Wilton, Euston, Mansfield, Grosvenor, Cardigan, Glengall, Dutham, and Airlie. Countesses—Granville, March, Eglinton, Strathmore, Chesterfield, and Wilton. Viscounts—Canterbury, Maidstone, Clifden, Tor rington, Enfield, Villiers, Lascelles, Cranky, Newport, Newark, Anson, Dungarvon, Exmouth, and Emlyn. Vinountesses—Oranley, Torrington, Enfield, New port, and Emlyn. Lords —Stanley, Robert Pelham Clinton, Ribbles dale, Burleigh, H. Gordon Lennox, George Paget, and Ladies—Bateman, Elizabeth Lascelles, Burleigh, Elizabeth Grey, Egerton, &e. Hen. Messieurs—S. Herbert, R. Boyle, H. Pitt, Captain Roue, Frederick Villiers, Francis Villiers, James Macdonald, E. Lascelles, A. Hood, G. Anson,,G. Barringtcn, W. B ego t, Cecil Forreater, Petro, F. Leveson, D. B. Phipps, S. Lumley, &c. Hon. Mesdames—White, Melville, G. Anson, Vil liers, S. lirhert, Phipps, &c. Sirs—J. Hawley, W. Fraier, W. W. Wynne, W. Co drington, G. IL Boswell, &c. Colonels—Peel, Newton, Wyndham, &c , &c. It will be seen from the above list, that 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, tnd proceeded up to the Ascot Stakes, which was not run until near tour 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 Buckhoueds (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. Hilaburd, who, we wore 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 a', 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 events—rendered unavoidable by their number—enabled us to obtain.

Iu each innings the " County" fell short of the score of the " Marylebone," and, of course, having done so, there could be but one result, namely, that they lost the day, notwithstanding the strength they had sent to "Lord's." The final score stood as follows, by which it will be seen that Maryle.. bone won by 55 runs :—Marylebone, first innings, 129; second ditto, 91. Surrey, first innings, 93; second ditto, 72. HER YIAJLSTY'S THEATRE. Le Tre Nozze was resumed hero 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 Alanry. Never did Lablacho 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.

ARRIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES SCREW STEAM SHIP LIFAYETTE.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. —To-day, shortly be;ore noon, the United States screw steam-ship Lafayette, under the command of Captain Stoddard, late of the Ame rican steam-ship Crescent City, arrived in the Mersey from Queenstown, where she had been compelled to put in 14 a supply of coal. On rounding the Peck she steamed very fast up the river, and presented rather a striking appear ance. Her hull is constructed smewhat after the style which the Americans have recently adopted in their clipper vessels, being very sharp fore and aft. She is barque rigged, carries a large spread of canvass, and from her fine propor tions, even without her steam power, must be very fast. Owing to the breakage of thq air pump the high-pressure plan was adopted, and the waste steam escaped by a pipe placed on the quarter-deck.

In consequence of the severe hoarseness of Mario, which completely disabled him from singing tho music of Goner°, the opera of Norma was substi tuted hero last evening for that of Lucretia 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.

Carter and a very respectable jury, upon the body of Mrs. Mary Rebecca Pratt, aged 22, the wife of Mr. James Pratt, a cheesemonger and butterman, carry . mg on business at No. 2, Angel-terrace, Hammersmith, who committed suicide on Friday last by throwing her self from off a camp -stool into the river Thames, at or was describ e d as a remarkably hand. op l po h s e ite d K ec i e n a g se s d ton . been some m arr e d ten w e woman, ekshighly accomplished, and had only Mr. W. F. Cooper, soli c it or, attended towatehthe case on the part of the deceased's husband; and Mr Nicholson, of the firm of Nicholson and Parker, ap peared on behalf of Mr. James Nutt, licensed victualler, 15, Gracechurch-street. Thomas Jeffries, potman at the Anglers, deposed th a t about thirty minutes after one o'clock on Friday - he heard some boys on the opposite shore cry " over,": meaning that a- person was in the river, and up on look ing he saw the deceased in mid-channel. Ho unmoored the boat, put off, secured the body, and with assistance got deceased ashore. She was taken into the Anglers, where the body was placed in bed. Hot water and fric tion were applied—Mr. Mitchell, the surgeon, being in attendance—but after three-quarters of an hour's exer tion all proved useless. Police-constable Murphy, 176 V, deposed to having searched the deceased's clothes. He found a German purse; containing a half-crown piece, and loose in her pocket a florin, 12s. 4d. in silver, 3fd. in coppers, and a bunch of keys, also a letter, which was addressed " 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 against 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. Good bye! I never expect to meet you again. Your broken-hearted wife, " MART R. Prtaagr." Jane Jeans, housemaid in the service of Mr. J. Pratt, was next called. Sh e d e p ose d t h at she had 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 se. 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 bad gene early to market, and he did not return till ten o'clock, U hen ho inquired for his wife, and wit ness said she had gone oat. He 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 husband 04 the previous night. They were on good terme, except whe.n,.be had toe much to drink. ])t ceased appeared in 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 fvr liquor, but deceased made no complaint. Witness did not know what the words " wicked accusations" meant. Had 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 his wife from Mr. Nutt'e. She understood he was her 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 thceased, and bore the Kingston post-mark of Friday, and had been received by Mr. Nutt the same evening, should be publicly read, as it would explain a lp deceased's state of mind. The letter, of which the following is a copy, was then read:— I N e e have t te h l n e: lh t ew sameE nhasyahsh im proper tat onlyos. . 4 m y dear being the M a n m r d . os e ase n it( siduod seduced allowing eeda Mrs. dbi Circumstances ; yu li lm u y t i u t, f — ar. t h. elbu:niide intercourse. amurnsedooelrfd drew my head back, and held his razor meto by the e h a t He then jumped on me, and tried to strangl e ut e t with his hands.

I hope God will forgive me for being so wicked, and saying what I knew was not right 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 got away from home whilst he was at market.

The pro g ramme comprised two overtures— the " Freischatz,' and a MS. composition by Lavenu, entitled "Anne of Giersteie," which, as well as Men delssohn's " Wedding March," were excellently played by an efficient and numerous orchestra, conducted by Messrs. Lavenu and Eckert, and led by Mr. Willy. Ernst himself played Beethoven's grand concerto, with two new cadences by himself, with masterly splendour of execution and consummate expression, and gave two other solos —the rondo " Papageno" and a caprice, founded on AI Pirata, in which his exquisite skill and purity of feeling were advantageously developed. The other instrumental portions of the concert consisted of a duet by Signors Pistil and the wonderful Bottesini on the violoncello and contra-basso, which excited the audience to perfect enthusiasm; and the andante and finale from hit Own concerto in C minor on the piano forte by 3f. Silas, Who is a g -eat and deserved favourite. The chief vocalist was the Tri,h nightingale, Miss Ca the flares, who was in spiondid voice. She sacs the air from the Prop4i'le. ad mirable levling, and the rondo ['mole, from Lit &unapt `• Ahl mon tits." with /of/a with a facile and tast‘ful anoy Oita elicited r apturous pl au d it ,.
