Coyne, and Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, yesterday presented the following amendment to the Electoral Law : " The electoral domicile shall be established by the real residence in the commune in which the citizen shall have satisfied the laws of recruiting for the army and navy. This domicile shall, however, be transferred to any commune in which the citizen may have fixed his principal establishment, subject to his making six months before the revision of the electoral list the double declaration prescribed by Article 104 of the Civil Code." The Constitutionnel has the following on the Greek ' question : "As facts come to light, they show more and more the legitimate character of the complaints of the French Government. We render all justice to the language used by Lord Palmerston and by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons; there is nothing iu it which can offend eitherl France :or her Government. But the finest words are not equivalent to the most simple explanations. The French Government is not actuated by any hostile intention, but it must protect its hon Our and the interests of the country. It must be either shown that good faith has been observed towards it, and a sincere desire for the success of its intervention, or it must heiceforth abstain from any intimate relation and all co-operation with the English Minister of Foreign Affairs. Intimate relations and habitual co-operation demand, in fact, a mutual confidence and equal security on both sides. In the case which we suppose, it will be shown that France cannot with security rely either on the words or the acts of Lord Palmerston." GERMAN Y. A Vienna letter of the 19th says:—" Yesterday appeared the budget of the last year, that is from Ist. November, 1848, to Ist Nevember, 1849 ; it shows a deficit of 140,000,000 florins. Nevertheless it has not produced an unfavourable impression either on the Stock Exchange or on the public, and especially because the detailed figures show that it was a gigantic task to keep the public finances afloat on the stormy sea, which threatened to swallow up the State. The Minister of Finance justly remarks in his report, that the end of the year 1848, having been signalised by the taking of Vienna, and by'the retreat of the army of the Hun garian insurgents, it was necessary in 1849 to carry on war both in Piedmont and in Hungary; that the latter country especially demanded the • grentest sacrifices, from the fact that jn addition to the vast army of Austria, there had to be.maintained masses of Russian troops ; that the Treasury thus had at its charge POO,OOO troops native and foreign ; whilst so far from afford ing the slightest revenue to the State, Hungary and Transylvania were exhausted by the Hungarian re volution, and the other provinces which remained faithful were so borne down in their commerce and industry that they could not be unreasonably taxed. It results, moreover, from the report • that the deficit has at least diminished, inas much as after having been on an average 12,000,000 florins per month in 1849, it fell in Ja nuary, 1850, to 5,000,000 florins, although the new taxes had produced little or nothing. It is to be re marked, moreover, that the budget of Hungary and Transylvania only partially figure in the returns—the former from Ist May. the second from Ist August; arid that the budget of Croatia, of Slavonia, and of the Wayewodla are not included at all—those provinces having occasioned expenses without yielding receipts." ITALY. The King - and Royal Family of Sardinia set out for Savoy on the 20th, from their villa of Moncalieri. On entering that province, the King issued the fol lowing proclamation : "Inhabitants at Savoy!—ln coming among yon, I realise one cf the fondest wishes of my heart. There exists between us an ancient covenant, sealed by eight c.:nturies of honour, loyalty, and reciprocal love. Neither tune, nor revolutions, nor disasters have been powerful enough to shake it.

Lord BROUGHAM took the opportunity of deny ing the statement which had been aide, that in conse quence of th e ill ness of the Lord Ch ance ll or there had been an arrear in the appeals of that House. Vim ap peals in arrear in that House were, he contended, none. The same could not be said with regard to appeals in the Court of Chancery, but they were much less than they were on the 22d Nov., 1830, when he (Lord Brougham) took the seals, and that would be proved by the r, turns o f a ppf•als for which he moved. He deeply regretted that his Noble and Learned Friend would not be soon able to resume the public performance of his duty. He be lieved that some temporary arrangeny.ntwouid be rettqe, , sod he hoped this opportunity would be taken of the forced absence of this most able, upright, a n d l earne d, judge, to make a permanent arrangement for the exe cution of the functions of this the high es t judi c i a l Offi cer of the country. • The motion for returns were agreed to. • ECCLESIASTICAL APPEALS BILL.- The Bishop of LONDON moved that the second read. lag of _the Appeals to the Privy Council for the & v i e _ imactidAl'Sotirts (in matters of doctrine) Bill, be post , •,4clited to Xpoday next.—A gree d to . • 'AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.

Earl GREY was not aware that the law of 1846 con tained any clause limiting the time during which it was to be continued in operation, and he was not aware of any intention to introduce any measure for repealing or altering it.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of MALMESBURY rose and was (LEFT !WEANING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock. MESSAGE FROM HER MAJESTY. Mr. LASCELLES, Comptroller of her Majesty's Household, appeared at the bar of the House, and an nounced that Ile had presented the humble address of the Commons, congratulating her Majesty upon the birth of a Prince, to which her Majesty had been pleased to return a most gracious answer, thanking her faithful Common!, and acknowledging their congratu• lations. VESTRY-CLERKS' BILL The Sheriffs of London appeared at the bar of the House to present a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, against the Vestry Clerks' Bill. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. 0. GORE proposed the insertion of two new clauses, which he contended were absolutely necessary for the advantage of the whole tract of country through which the line passed. Without these clauses the traffic would be stopped at Chester. The Hon. Gentle man characterised the conduct of the London and North- Western Company in this matter as most unfair and un just. There were two points to be considered—the traffic in goods and the traffic in passengers; and in both of these departments the public would suffer, unless these clauses were inserted. Mr. C. GLYN defended the conduct of the London and North-Western Railway Company. That company never' had appeared in the least degree as supporters of that Bill, and for his part, if he were to speak only as the representative of the London and North-Western Railway Company, he should say that he would wish that the Bill bad never been introduced. He believed that this Bill had been promoted solely by the Chester 'and Holyhead Railway Company, who, 'Unless they received some aid from Govern ment, could never carry out their great object. He hoped a principle would not be introduced into the Chester and Holyhead Bill which had, in point of fact, been already rejected by the House on several former occasions. Mr. SLANEY said the question laid within a very small compass. The Committee, he was informed, had agreed to insert the clause, but it had been left out by accident, and all the parties wished him to reinstate the clause. He had no doubt that by some modification of the clause the views of both parties might be met. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought it would only be justice to the promoters to insert the clause, as the Committee, after a discussion of 'several days, had unanimously agreed to it, and as the Hon. Member had stated it had been omitted entirely by accident.' It was of the utmost importance that the Chester and Holy head Railway, which forthed the most direct communi cation with Ireland, should be freely used by all parties. Mr. MANGLES said the Committee had, in f ac t, contravened the decision of two other Committees on the general question, as well as the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act. This clause would . compel the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company to stop every train at a station only two miles out of Chester, and there could be no doubt whatever that if it were carried it yvould prove seriously inconvenient to the public. Mr. GLADSTONE said the qUestion involved in this clause was one of great difficulty. It proposed to give the Railway Commissioners power to regulate the traffic of these two railway companies, but he warned the House against applying a principle to an _individual case which, it sound, ought to be extended to all railways. Mr. SHEIL supported the clause, belieiing that it was for the interest of I re l an d t h at the wrong which the clause contemplated should be averted. After a few remarks from Mr. Villiers, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. Charteris, Captain Duncombe, and Mr. E. B. Roche, Mr. TATTON EGERTON thought that the point to be considered was the benefit of the public, and it certainly would not be fur the interest of the public to allow great companies to crush small ones. Mr. CAVENDISH would recommend a compromise. that the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company should give up their leasing powers, and that the House should accede to the clause. Mr. JACKSON said if the House passed the Bill with the clause in it, it would be impossible for the company to carry on their line, as they had not at the presen moment a single carriage or locomotive ready. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the insertion of the clause ... 118 Against it ... - 137 Majority ... The clause was consequently lost. Mr. J. WILLIAMS proposed the insertion of another clause, and after a short discussion the gallery was cleared, but no division took place, the clause having been negatived without a division. •••-19 HEADLAM proposed the insertion of an amend ment with the view of retaining the priority already possessed by the present preference shareholders of the Chester and Holyhead Company, instead of giving it to the London and North Western Company. After some discussion, the gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place, Mr. Headlam having withdrawn his amendment. The following Bills, as amended, were then consi dered:— Birkenhead Dock Trustees. Bradford Improvement, Police, and Purchase and Closing of Bradford Canal. Railway Companies Clearing Association. Victoria (Loudon) Dock. RIVER LEA TRUST BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a second time, Mr. MOWATT moved that the Bill be•read a second time this day six months. He contended that it would be extremely unfair if the House, after it had rejected a batch of similar Bills the other day, on the plea of wait ing for a report, should place this company in a more advantageous position than the other companies, who had a similar object in view. Major BERESFORD supported the Bill. He con tended that it was not a Bill fur supplying the metro. polis with water, but for the improvement of 'the river navigation. Mr. MOWATT said if the supporter of the Bill would abandon the 30th clause, which related to the supply or water, he would withdraw his opposition. Mr. COWPER denied that this Bill was a water Bill, it was simply a navigation Bill. Sir W. MOLES WORTH supported the Bill. Mr. BRIGHT said the Bill came before the House under false pretences, because it was not in reality to improve the navigation of the river, but to enable the trustees to sell thq water of the river to certain metro politan waterworks companies. He should support the amendment i f the Hon. Member. Sir JAMES DUKE supported the Bill, thinking that if passed, it would tend to the improvement of the river navigation. No division however took place, and the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. BOARD OF TRADE. Mr. DISRAELI said that it bad been his in tntion in 'Supply to night to call the attention of the House to the constitution of the Board of Trade; but in oonvsquence of an event that they must all deplore. which caused the absence of the President of the Board of Trade, he must beeline doing so, and he trusted therefore th',t the Government would not proceed to-night with the v t upon which he in:ended to found his motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, under the distressing circumstances that had taken the Government would not proceed with that vote to-nigh t. (LEFT SITTING.) THE LORI) CHANCELLOR. After a prolonged contest with an enfeebling disease and increasing yews, Lord Cottenham, it is positively stated, is about to follow the example of Lord Den man, and resign an office the high responsibilities of which he can no longer discharge. The resignation of a judge is a rare event, and. the resignation of a Lord Chancellor is a very great event, for, in nine cases out of ten, a political reverse anticipates both death and decay. The disease most fatal to a Lord Chancellor is an adverse majority in the Commons; and the same calamity that suddenly extinguishes the highest officer of the State in the full vigour of his faculties, and in the very midst cf his duties, invari ably finds another man ready for the place, and in a condition to demand it from the chief of his party. Hence there is no opportunity or interval for any other purpose than to fill up the vacancy. The case is now altogether different. Lord Cottenham has graduslly f oun d hi mse lf unequa l to t h e overpower i ng res e p n onsibilities of hi s o ffi ce , an d a l t h oug h t h ere are men not unworthy to s uccee d him, there is neither P so remark a bl e a re-eminence of talent ner so deep a politi h cat obligationae lo to any one Man as to compel a certain choice. An oppov unity, therefore, prese n t s itself which been wished f or i n va i n ,— an opportunity f or cis not ons n i g deiing, not th e successor , b ut t h e office it se lf. It very long since that office was put in com m i ss i on, when ple object wa s t o ge t over some political an d person difficulties. h Sh o uld an y change in it s constitutio n mission would gi ve t i me for th e contemplated,'n com eof so important 'a measure. necessary di scuss i on The idea which has floated in the mind o f succes sive law reformers has been a separation Chancellor's judicial and political functions. of the L or d s:imethieg revolting to the feeli ngs a n dr u s. There i s of an Englishman in a political judge—amman common sense essen tially a partisan, ascending and descendingthe tri bunal at the beck of a popular assembly, and selecte fur his partialities as well as for his legal acumen. So the first end most popular notion of the thing to be (lona is to have an irremovable judge in the Court of Chancery, and a removable Speaker in the House of Lords. This idea, which finds favour with many who are fortunately ignorant of the Chancery, is founded on a very imperfect appreciation of the evils to be re moved; and it is only by reviewing the manifold duties of 'the Lord Chancellor; and by remembering what take:e place 'at every change of office, that is, once every three or four year', that we see the strength of the reasons for a fundamental alteration. The Lord Chancellor may be said to preside over the two highest courts.nf justice in this country, and one Legislative Assembly. The Court of Cbancery is so far sufficient for one man, that the arrears have now accumulated beyond the probability of their being discharged, by any one Chancellor, be he ever so able, energetic, and young. Of course during Lord Cottenham's illness those arrears have increased, and the only symptom of their ever being cleared in his Lordship's time was the recent announcement that he had just given a remarkably able judgment in chambers. The number of suitors, and the amount of property at stake, are beyond belief. We will not venture to say how many millions the Suitors' Fund, or the money actually in the hands of the Court, is estimated at. The -difficulties, the delays, and the consequent expenses, are not only so great, but so inevitable, that it is a common saying, that no pro perty less than 1,0001. is worth fighting for in Chan cery against a long purse, even with the best possible opinions on your side. Notwithstanding the un doubted ability and character of the present Lord Chancellor and his immediate predecessors, there has been no very material improvement of late years, in the progress of suits and the state of business, and the ill-fame of the Court is at this moment almost as flagrant as ever. Without referring more particularly to the vast amount of business devolving on the Lord Chancellor in the care of wards and other matters of delicacy, or matters of detail, we will pass on to the other Court over which he presides—the House of Lords, as the highest judicial tribunal of this country. But few peo ple—few even of the wretched suitors themselves, know the thorough farce of an appeal to the House of Lords. Every Tuesday and Thursday , the Lord Chancellor's own court is closed, and proceedings there suspended. On those days he sits in the Lords to hear appeals from his own judgments in his own court. He sits there alone, yet not quite alone, for the court must not sit unless two other Peers are present. Those twoother Peers so necessary to the adminis tration of justice, are ;here by virtue of a rota. Two Peers are summoned for one day, and the two Peers next in the list for the next day, and so forth. If a trial lasts several days two Peers attend at the open ing, and then retire ; two others attend at the next stage, and then give place to others, till the judgment is delivered, with the assistance of two Peers who have not heard one syllable of the trial, and need not have the least conception of what it is about. Be sides these two lay Peers, there is also a gratuitous and occasional attendance of legal Peers, who are not necessary to the constitution of the court, and who, except in one memorable instance, have seldom put the Lord Chancellor in a minority. In fact, there fore, the Lord Chancellor, really alone, hears the trial over again, and sits in judgment on his own decision. The presidency of this court takes from the Lord Chancellor two days out of six in the spring and summer terms. The enormous expense, delay, and other inconvenience it inflicts on the suitors, it is need less to describe, for they are doomed men and have prepared for the worst. Besides these two judicial offices,for we must assign a plurality to offices when there is an appeal from one to the other,—the Lord Chancellor presides over the House of Lords in its legislative capacity. ; and, if his time and strength are not so severely taxed as the, Speaker's of the House of Commons, he bas often to spend on the woolsack many hours which he might otherwise employ in rest, or in preparation. In addition to the above three important functions, the Lord Chancellor is also a member of the Cabinet, and, as such, is required to assist at councils, and give advice, at times possibly very inconvenient to the Court which claims his first attentions. In the event of a change of Ministry; or, as now, in the event of resignation through illness, the Lord Chancellor, after holding his office three or four years, and after having acquainted himself with a number of complicated causes in progress, is suddenly lost to the Court and the suitors, and his place is taken by a man who has all to begin over again. Every suitor who now has some hopes of a judgment, and who has reason to believe that matters are really in train for a conclusion, finds himself suddenly thrown back, and his hopes nipped in the bud, by the advent of a man to whom he and his cause are utterly unknown. In the rare case of a vacancy through death or illness, of course this is inevitable, and can only be met with patience ; but the state of things which creates a new Lord Chancellor every change of Ministers is not inevitable, and may excuse some impatience in 'persons who have seen perhap% more than one Lord Chancellor in court since the commencement of their suits. The remedy is obvious, and has great names to recommend it, though there may be some ques tion as to the details. A Lord Chancellor with no othei duties than those of his own Court, irremovable like the rest of the judges, and with 8,0001. or 9,0001. per annum, would be in a most honourable and enviable position, and cer tainly with less anxiety than the holder of the offic.t in its present multifarious form. On the other hand, a judicial Speaker of the House of Lords, authorised, with assistance, to hear appeals from the Lord Chan cellor, a Cabinet Minister ' and therefore sharin g political vicissit u d es , w ith 5,000/. or 6,0001. per annum, arid with the immense patronage of the office, would be also an office of great importance and honour. Whether with such an arrangement it would be ne cessary to have three Vice-Chancellors would be a matter for discussion, but the appeals from the judg ment of these functionaries are so frequent as to justif3 the belief that much labour is lost under the present arrangement. Whatever the necessity of a change, or the merits of this or that plan, now, at all events, is the time for thinking about it.—Times. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Borg AND SUICIDE.—On Saturday evening, at six o'clock, Mr. William Carter, the coroner for Surrey, opened a long inquiry at the Old Mitre Tavern, Broad-wall, Blackfriars-road, respecting the death of Thomas Hunt Cooper, aged 29 years, lately residing at No. 5, Knight Ryder-court, Doctors - commons, who committed the following dreadful act of self-destruction under the circumstances briefly detailed in the subjoined evidence of the principal witness :--- Elizabeth Straker, of No.l, Thomas-place, Gravel lane, Blackfriars-road, stated that she had known the deceased for many years. Witness had been fre quently annoyed by the deceased, who followed ,her about daily from place to place, more particularly during the last 14 weeks, and occasionally he would threaten to take her life. Witness at one time went in bodily fear, and told him if he persisted in continuing his annoyance she would seek assist ance by application to a magistrate. The deceased for a short time desisted, but again resumed his visits, when she was about to go to a police-court, when the deceased begged so earnestly that she would not, that she again declined, on his promising not to annoy her again. The deceased still continued to follow her, and on Thursday morning last witness heard a knock at the street door, and upon opening it witness saw the deceased, who exclaimed in a load voice, "I will blow your brains out;" at the same moment deceased presented a pistol towards witness, who called for the landlord in the front parlour, who came out and stepped , between them. The deceased rushed up stairs, and the next moment the report of a pistol was heard, and when the witness and the land lord reached the second-floor back room, they dis covered the deceased lying a corpse on the floor, with the upper portion of his head blown to pieces. De ceased seemed lifeless, and by his side lay a pistol. The room was subsequently searched, and a bullet was found on the floor. The police arrived soon af terwards, and when the pockets of the deceased were examined, a letter was found, directed to his father, which was proved to be in the deceased's handwriting. The letter was as follows : " Dear Father, —When you receive this I shall be no more, for I' have - niad e up my mind not to live any , longer without Miss Straker.. Her shadow is always following me-by night and day, and my thoughts are constantly with her. " Your affectionate son, " Tuostis HUNT COOPER." Witness added, that she fully believed if the landlord had not come so providentially to her aid the deceased would have shot her. Mr. Robert Tibbetts, surgeon, of Blackfriars-road, was next examined. lie proved the frightful nature of the injuries the deceased had received, which must have caused instant death. Other witnesses were examined, who clearly proved in of te te ll m ec p t o fo ra r r s y om in e years san:ty past. .

Mrs. Sarah Wallis, the landlady of the Railway Tavern, on the Surrey side of London-bridge, stated that on Wednesday evening last the deceased came to the bar, and asked if' she could be accommodated with a bed. She had a small basket in her hand, and said she expected a letter from some one that evening, and added that when it arrived would I forward it to her apartment ? Deceased went out two or three times during the evening. On the following day, about four o'clock, a letter came, directed to " Mrs. Lloyd, at the Railway Tavern, London-bridge."

NOTTINGHAM.—Hosiery The American orders are keeping us employed to a certain extent, but we have not such an amount of business doing to Lon don, Manchester, and to other populous places, as we generally have at this season. Merino yarns are being used to a great extent for the autumn and winter trade; but cotton yarns are in very small request, although it is thought a greater price will shortly be demanded. Lace—Whether it being holiday week, or to what cause to attribute it we know not, but this has been the flattest week we have bad since Christ mas ; and this, too, at- a period when we might ordi narily look for the greatest amount of sales. Perhaps the weather has materially hindered or postponed the spring trade. However, it is, on the whole, anything but promising, unless we btain a better home de mand and a greater extent of European Continental orders.—Nottingham Journal. LEICESTER.—We have no alteration to report since our last in the state of trade • it being holiday week, but little has been doing i n the warehouses.—Leicester Journal. BRADFORD. — WooIs—There has been more inquiry for all kinds of combing wools during the week, and the spinners are more willing to buy in quantity than they were some weeks past; but there is no disposi tion to sell at less prices. Noils and shorts are in fair demand at late prices. Yarns—The demand for yarns is not lessened for any market, but the addition of the shippers bas given it a tone of firmness ; large orders are now given, contracts fur distant delivery entered into, and prices very firm. Pieces—The business doing by the home-trade houses is now very large, and as the period of dulness usual between the sea sons has passed over with so small an accumulation of stock, it gives us a pretty correct indication that the production is not exceeding the wants of the trade, and that a general active business may be looked fur, and correspondingly increased prices, during the autumn.—Bradford Observer. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN. A meeting of the superintendents and other per sons employed on this line was held at Swindon on Wednesday, to make arrangements for presenting 11 tes timonial of their respect and esteem to Mr. Seymour Clarke, the chief superintendent of this railway, on his retirement from the .service of the company, in consequence of the late proposed reduction of salaries. He has been appointed general . manager of the Great Northern Railway, at a higher Wary. The proprietors of this company have just received from the directors their proposals relative to and the conditions upon which they intend issuing the fixed 41 per cent. stock of the company. There is to be a deposit of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock, to be paid within 21 days from the date of acceptance or allotment thereof. Future instalments to be paid at the respective dates fixed, subject to a power re served to the directors for the time being to postpone any one or more instalments by giving one month's previous notice, if the money should not at the time be required for the purposes of the company, namely, 101. percent. in October, 1850; same amount in Ja nuary, May, August, and Nov., 1851; 201. per cent. in Jan., 1852 ; 101. per cent. in April, and 101. per cent. in July, 1852. Any proprietor may pay up the full amount of his stock at once, or may anticipate by agreement the specified instalments. The fixed in terest of 41- per cent. will be computed from the dates of payment up to the 30th of June and 31st of De cember in each year, and will be payable half-yearly at the same time with the other dividends of the com - pany. The conditions are accompanied by the written opinions of Sir F. Kelly, Mr. J. H. Lloyd, and the Hon. J. C. Talbot, that the company has power to raise the stock, and that it will be perfectly legal good stock. YORK, NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK. It appears from the report of the directors to be submitted at the special meeting of proprietors, to be held to-morrow, that the state of the share market precludes any reasonable probability of raising the 17/ yet to be paid by the holders of the Great North of England Purchase shares, unless privileges be granted to that class of shareholders sufficient to insure the payment of calls as they become due; and that it has been urged upon the directors that the limited gua rantee adopted at the meeting on the 26th of March last was not calculated to attain that object. For these and other reasons which the directors urge in their report, they have recommended the adoption of a series of resolutions which they will submit to the meeting, and which comprise the following provisions The 81. already paid to take ordinary dividend after the Ist of July next ; the call now made of 2/. per share to be reduced to 1/. ; the following calls to be made, viz., 1/. on the Ist of July, 1852; 1/. 10s. on the Ist of January, 1853; 1/. 103. on the Ist January, 1854 ; and 3/. 13s. 4d. per share at such times be tween that date and the Ist of May, 1856, as the di. rectors may think proper. These sums will make up 16/. 13s. 4d. with what is already called up. The calls paid beyond the first 81. per share are to have perpetually guaranteed interest at 4/. per cent., with the option of relinquishing it and taking ordinary di vidend. There are other conditions to give power to the shareholders, after paying 51. more in calls, to divide their shares into a share of 81. bearing ordinary interest, and a guaranteed share of 171., on which 51. will then have been paid. A further payment of 21. per share, by way of advance, to entitle the holder to divide such 171. share into two shares of the nominal value of 81. 13s. 4d. and Si. 6s. Bd. respectively, upon which lait share the said sum of 2/. per share shall be deemed to be paid, and separate certificates shall be given. The directors to undertake to raise by loan, if possible, one- third of the 25/. due on the preference shares; but if such amount shall not have been bor rowed on the Ist of January, 1856, then it shall be called up at such times and in such instalments as they shall determine. There are some minor provi sions, one of which enables a holder of preference shares to pay up in full, and to have them converted into consolidated stock, retaining his guarantee. It is expected that these terms will secure the raising of the necessary funds for completing the purchase of the Great. North of England Railwa EASTERN UNION. On Friday a special meeting of this company was a held at Radley's Hotel to consider a Bill now before s a , Parliament; Mr. J. C. C o bb o ld i n th e c h a i r. 6 6 ' The CHAIRMAN said the object of the Bill was to s3i extend the time for making the line to Harwich. Ap plication was made to the directors to know if the Eastern Counties agreed to make the line, whether the board would give up the powers. That company les. having agreed to make it, he (the Chairman) and the board of directors h a d assented, and a clause was in serted in the Bill to enable them to do so. As many of the creditors were pressing them, they proposed to ) convert the debenture debt into new shares, by which means they would place the parties who chose to take those shares in the same position as debenture ' 34 creditors. Mr. HUNT read the Bill, and upon the reading of the 6th clause, which gave this company power, " with the approbation of three-fifths of the•votes of the pro prietors present, either personally or by proxy, at any general meeting of the company especially convened for the purpose, to sell and transfer to the Eastern Counties Railway the Eastern Union and Harwich Railway and Pier," e A long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Lechmere, the Chairman, and Mr. Cayley, M.P., t oo k par t, on the subject oileasing the line to the Eastern Counties Company. On the motion for the approval of the Bill, Mr. LECHMERE moved in amendment, to the effect that the clauses which gave the company power to sell the line to the Eastern Counties' Company and to 0' create new shares be omitted. 7 i 6 The amendment was put, and lost by a large ma jority. After some discussion, the original motion was agreed to, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY. SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, MAT 25. STOCK EXCHANGB.—The market was both firm and Ani l., mated to-day.

' Mr JBDER AND SUICIDE BY A MOTHER.—WAR. WICK; SATURDAL—The greatest possible excitement has prevailed throughout the neighbourhood of Great Lister street, during the past few days, in consequence of a married womanhaving murdered one of her children and destroyed i her own life. It appears that a female named Ann Sea % born, the wife of a mechanic, who resided in a cottage on • • PritnroSe-hill, had recently suspected that her husband was paying improper attention to a young woman with whom he was acquainted. On Monday last her husband left home, his three children, one an infant, remaining with their mother in the cottage. Suspecting whither her husband had gone, and stung by jealousy, she,. duri:ig his absence, precipitated herself and infant into a well in the garden. The two other children having witnessed this act, left quite helpless'and alone, it being quite dark, knew not what to do. , 34 One of them, however, contrived to find its way to a house near the canal side, where the father was, and having told its melancholy tale, the father, accompanied by some corna panions, immediately proceeded home, and after some delay the two b()dies were extricated from the well, life being quite extinct. The inquest was held on Wednesday, at the Ma zeppa Inn, Lord-street, when a verdict was returned " That the mother destroyed her own life and that of the infant whilst in estate of inanity..? SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 25. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ripon, Captain R. Moresby, arrived here this morn ing at seven o'clock, and landed mails from the fol lowing places and dates, in charge of Lieut. Tancock, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates of sailing are—Alexandria, May. 9 ; Malta, 14 ; Gibraltar, 19. The freight brought by the Ripon consisted of 15 packages of specie of the value of 15,0001., 182 bales of silk, 10 bales of senna, 11 packages of elephants' tusks, 10 bales of tobacco; also 1 hippopotamus, 2 horses, and 21 cases o f an i ma l s, bi r d s, snakes, lizards, &c., &c. The passengers by her amounted to the large num ber of 166, among whom are his Excellency General Jung Bahadur Koonwur Ranajee, Ambassador Ex traordinary to the Queen, his two brothers, Colonels Juggul and Dhur Shumsheer Jung, and suite, con• sisting of 24, with Mr. M'Leod, his secretary and interpreter, Captain Cavanagh, in political charge of the mission. His Excellency has travelled from his own country, Nepaul, of which he is Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief, to pay a visit and to make some presents to her Majesty the Queen. It may be remembered that this is the first visit her Majesty has had from a 'Undo° of such high caste. Colonel Lockwood, C. 8., her Majesty's 3d Dragoon Guards; Sir E. and L-ily Gambier, Hon. C. Murray, Earl and Countess of VVinchilses, &c. Stations of her Majesty's Ships—Sir W. Parker's fleet at Malta, the Dragon at Gibraltar, en route to England, touching at Lisbon. Ships observed on the Voyage—Exchanged colours with the brig Helen, 100 miles east of Malta, on the 13th inst., steering E., at the back of the rock. Ex changed colours with a Norwegian ship, showing flag with a T, and No. 34 under. The Hon. C. Murray, C. 8., her Majesty's Consul- General in Egypt, has brought home an interesting collection of animals, birds, &c., from Egypt, for the Zoological Society. The most curious and rare, how ever, is the hippopotamus. He is 10 months old, and weighs about 5001 b.; is remarkably gentle, and so at tached to his keeper that he will not sleep out of his presence, takes his bath frequently during the day, and lives principally on milk, meal, &c. The collec tion of snakes are remarkably rare. There is a beau • tiful lion, leopard, ibex, gazelle, pelicans, &c. An Arab boy looks after the snake tribe, playing with them in the same manner :as one would with a pet lamb. The boy, on board, excites as much curiosity as the snakes. ARRIVAL OF THE MINISTER OF THE RAJA OF NEPAUL. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNHAT EVENING.--The arrival of General Jung Behadur Koonwur Ranajee, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Nepaulese territory, in the East Indies, by the Ripon steam-ship yesterday morning, created an immense deal of in terest in the town ; and immediately the Ripon was discovered steaming up the river, great numbers of people, of all grades, flocked to the docks to welcome the illustrious stranger. The general comes to England on a mission from his Highness the Raja of Nepaul to the Queen of England, and is the bearer of a com plimentary letter, and some articles of gr ea t va l ue , as presents to her Majesty. The General is ac companied by a suite composed of the following:— Colonel Juggut Shumshere Koonwur Ranajee, and Colonel Dbeer Shumshere Koonwur Ranajee, brothers of the Minister; Captain Runmihr Singh Adhikaree, Kbajee Kurbeer Khutree, Khajee Hemdul Singh Thapa Lieutenant Kurbeer Khutree, Li eu t enan t Lall Singh Khutree, Lieutenant Bheem Sen Rana, a Nepaulese doctor ; two Soebss, one Soebadar, and 12 servants. Captain Engledue, R.N., the superin tendent of the Oriental' and Peninsular Company's affairs at this port, was early in attendance, and went on board immediately the steamer came alongside the dock platform, to render his valuable assistance to the august party in landing. The General having ex pressed a disinclination to sojourn at an hotel, Captain Engledue at once , proffered the use of the elegant and commodious suite of apartments over the offices of the establishment of the Peninsular and Oriental Company—an offer that was politely accepted, and the party were immediately conducted to their tem porary abode. The appearance of the General, as he walked from the vessel to the shore, was somewhat imposing. He is a man of middle stature, thin, and his countenance bears the imprint of intelligence. He appears to be about 32 or 34 years of age, and his dress is magnificent in the extreme. His tur ban appears to be completely studded with dia -1 monds and precious stones of almost every hue, the emerald, of which there were several, of immense size, being second in importance. It is said this part alone of the General's dress cost 50,0001 ; but it would be idle to hazard an opinion upon the correctness of the assertion. The whole of the suite are Hindoos, and they are very particular in their mode of living. They will eat nothing but what is killed according to their own notions ; and a large number of kids, to which they seem particularly partial, had to be provided for them for the passage from Alexandria. The fore cabins of the steamer were given up exclusively for their accommodation. Captain Engledue made every arrangement for their comfort at the Oriental Company's establish ment, and having passed a portion of his time in India, and consequently well acquainted with the habits of this peculiar race cf people, he was the better enabled to carry his arrangements out with the fullest effect, for which he was warmly thanked. The baggage of the General and suite was passed without the usual examination, an order to that effect by electric telegraph, having been forwarded to the Customs' authorities at this port. About half-past two o'clock this afternoon the General and suite left the terminus of the South• Western Railway in a special train for London, where it is understood a commodious furnished house has been taken for his accommodation. The Ripon brings to England for the Zoological Society the hippopotamus which has been waiting in Cairo for the hot season, and a collection of animals and birds, among which are an ibex from Mount Sinai, a lion, a ghepard, two lynxes, an ichneumon, some civet cats, and a variety of serpents, lizards, and de sert rats. 1 young giraffe was also to have formed part of the collection, but it was unfortu na t e ly drowned in the ca na l after reaching Alexandria. The hippopotamus, being only ten months old, is compa ratively small, and lives exclusively on milk, its daily consumption being about eighty pints, for the fur nishing of which several cows have been kept on board. It is very tame and allows itself to be freely handled by its Arab attendant, whom it follows and answers to the name of " Ghebbayseh," an island on the blue Nile, near the seventh cataract, between Senaar and Fazoglu, where it was caught. It is a male specimen, and Abbas ?ache, the Viceroy, has issued orders to procure a female, which is expected to arrive here after the rise of the Nile, in about three months' time, and will also be sent to Eng land. Preparations for the conveyance of the hippopotamus had been made at Southampton on board the Ripon, with a convenient iron tank, holding about 400 gallons of fresh water, which it will re quire to be renewed every other day, to bathe in. This is the first hippopotamus that has ever been brought to England alive. It is not so repulsive in appearance as one is led to believe, nor is it so un sightly as the rhinoceros. Mr. Mitchell, the secretary to the director s , o f th e Zoological Gardens, R egen t' s Park, and a keeper, ar rived in Southampton a few days sinc e ,t o t a k e c h arge of the animals. They were dispatched yesterday afternoon, by special train, accompanied by the native keepers also, and th e " snake charmers," who were in attendance upon the reptiles. The presents from India to the , Queen, it is under stood, comprise several cases, containing jewels, shawls, silks ' and other valuabl e p ro d uc ti ons o f th e E ast, of the value of 200,0001. His Excellency and suite (in all 24) proceeded to London immediately on arrival at Southampton. He was saluted at Malta, and whenever he met our,men of-war. He was generally liked by all the passengers for his amiable disposition. When off Gibraltar he exclaimed it was worth all the passage to see that one place ; but on 'Arriving at the Southampton Docks Railway he thought the scene which presented, itself much more wonderful ; in fact, he was quite confused at, beholding so much bustle. her right band labelled, " Sulphuric acid—poison." The deceased was attired in a black satin gown. The deceased's face was dreadfully burnt by the effects of the acid which had fallen from the bottle. The de ceased wore a blue necktie, a silver brooch, gold ear rings, white stockings, black laced boots, &e. In her basket were found a letter and a small note; the former was the one which came by post on Thursday afternoon, and the same bore no date or signature. The principal portion of the letter was to the follow ing effect :—" For Heaven's sake I hope you will not commit any rash act, or think of destroying yourself. I trust you will be advised by the female friend to whom I referred you, and who, I am sure, will give you the best of advice. By the time you receive this letter I shall have sailed from England for ever." There were 4s. in silver and a pocket-handkerchief in her basket. A fter some further evidence of no importance the inquiry was adjourned with the view of finding out the deceased friends. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE CHINESE JUNK. —An inquest was held on Saturday evening, by Mr. T. Higgs, coroner, at the Lyceum Tavern, Strand, on body of William Upfold, aged 34, a carpenter, employed aboard the Chinese Junk Keying. The evidence of the witnesses proved that the deceased accidentally fell into the water and was drowned.— Verdict accordingly. PLAICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM. COMPANIES' STOCK.

The Swordfish, Captain Green, arrived from Pernambuco last night,`•: with dates to the 11th of April, and from Bahia to the 23d of March. The cases of yellow fever at Pernambuco were be , doming less. , The supplies of cotton ar e on a li m ited scale, and I prices supported ; with larger supplies, however, prices would fall : first quality cotton 6id. to 6,id. per lb.
