MPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) ELECTIONS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, In clause 1, Mr. FREWEN said this clause provided that the election for , a county should take place within six clays after the issue of the writ. Now if this bill only applied to general elections there would be no objection to it, but a county member might be appointed to an office, and in the event of the electors being anxious to change their representative, there would be no time to find a successor within the brief space of six days. He would therefore suggest that words should be introduced for restricting the operation of the bill to general elections. After a few words from Mr. BUTT, who could not accede to the amendment, Mr. E. DENISON recommended the committee not to proceed further with the bill, as the whole question of Parliamentary reform would have to be considered next year. Mr. AGLIONBY had no confidence in the anticipated large measure of reform, and he hoped the committee would not consent to part with this small measure. Mr. HUME also thought it would be better to leave the matter embraced in this bill to be dealt with in the larger measure next year. Mr. SCOBELL saw no necessity whatever for delay, as it would be just as easy to incorporate the provisions of the bill with the larger measure after the bill passed as before. Mr. BUTT could not consent to withdraw the bill at this stage. Mr. V. SMITH urged the propriety of withdrawing the bill, more especially as notice had already been given by the right hon. gentleman the member for Mid hurst of a bill to deal with the whole question of elec tions, whereas this bill only related to elections for counties. After some further discussion it was agreed that clause I should be postponed, with the view of being amended with clause 2. Sir G. GREY suggested that the limit between the issue of the writ and the election should be twelve in stead of six days, and Lord R. GROSVENOR supported the suggestion. Mr. BUTT said he should have no objection to adopt this amendment, but as clause 1 had been postponed, it would be necessary to postpone this clause too. After some further discussion, the clause was post poned accordingly. The remaining clauses were then agreed to. Mr. BUTT then propoued several additional clauses regulating the manner of taking the poll at the elections for the Universities, which were agreed to. Captain SCOBELL moved the following clause : That no poll at any such election shall be taken at any inn, hotel, tavern, public-house, or other premises licensed for the sale of beer, wine, or spirits, or in any booth, hall, room, or other place directly communicating therewith, unless by consent of all the candidates, expressed in writing. After a short discussion, in which Mr. Palmer, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Mills, and Lord R. Grosvenor took part, the clause was agreed to. The Chairman then left the chair, and the house resumed. SALE AND PURCHASE OF LAND BILL. Mr. DRUMMOND moved the second reading of this bill, with the object of referring it to the select com mittee appointed to sit on the bill on the same subject sent down from the House of Lords. Mr. BOUVERIE objected to the practice of referring two bills on the same subject, but different in principle, to the same committee. It was calling on a committee to do that which was the proper duty of the house to decide between two different principles. Mr. BUTT said it was the desire of the committee on the Registration of Assurances Bill, to have this bill referred to it. Mr. MALINS had the greatest objection to the prin ciple of the bill, and certainly would not have consented to its being read a second time, except on the condition that it was to be referred to a select committee. Mr. E. DENISON, as chairman of the Registration of Assurances Bill committee, said it was the desire of that committee to have this bill referred to them. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be referred to the committee on the Registration of As surances Bill. LEASING POWERS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said this was in fact a Govern ment bill, as it had been brought in by the late Attor ney and Solicitor Generals for Ireland. It ought, there fore, to be postponed until after the other orders of the day. After a short discussion. The SPEAKER decided that the bill could not be un derstood to be a Government bill. The house then went into committee on the bill. Progress was made as far as clause 10, when the Chairman was directed to report progress, and the house having resumed, the Chairman did so accordingly, and obtained leave to sit again. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. This bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. SOAP DUTIES. The house then went into committee on the soap duties. On the resolution for repealing the duty, Mr. FREWEN moved, as an amendment, the inser tion of words to repeal the hop duties also, hut the Chairman decided the amendment was out of order, and it was withdrawn. The original motion was then agreed to, and the house having resumed, the resolutions were ordered to be reported to-morrow. SEAMEN'S SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. FRENCH obtained leave to bring in a bill to establish seamen's savings banks. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at 6 o'clock. CRICKET. THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD v. THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. This match was resumed at Lord's ground yesterday, and will be found to have been ane of an extraordinary character in respect of the number of large scores. " Oxford," however, carried off the laurels, winning in one innings by 19 runs. In the course of the contest there were many exhibitions of scientific play, although the wetness of the weather tended very greatly to mar the intentions of the players. This was the final score : CAMBRIDGE. First Innings. Second Innings. C. Poutifex, Esq., b Inge 27 st Ridding, b Balfour 5 H. G. Southwell, Esq., c Ar mitstead, b Ingo l2 Ibw, b Balfour 4 M.

This match was commenced at Brighton on Monday, and was resumed on Tuesday. The weather, in the early part of each day was, as in London, most unpro pitious ; but at Brighton, and not as in the metropolis, the weather cleared off, and tolerably fine was the after part. Hence it was that the match was proceeded with. At the close of the second day the score stood as fol lows : THE ELEVEN. First Innings. Second Innings.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) IN THE MATTER OF BASIL WARRE WIGAN.-BETTING EXTRAORDINARY. • This insolvent, known as "Basil Wigan," described as a gentleman in no business or profession, applied to be discharged from the Queen's Prison. Mr. Denning, of the firm of Denning and Herbert, watchmaker and jewellers, of Regent -street (trading as Hawley and Company), opposed in person. Mr. Sar good supported the application for discharge. Formerly the insolvent, who is now a very young man, bad been clerk in a banking establishment. Some years back he took to the turf, on which he won and lost a great deal, as set forth on his schedule. He had been in prison since December last, and it was alleged that the want of means had prevented him from applying , earlier to the Court. He, however, betted on the Ches ter Cup, and the odds were 50 to 1, and having won 501., he was enabled to proceed with his case before the Court. Mr. Denning complained that the insolvent had ob tained jewellery, &c., of him to 961., and he was now in custody at his suit. The insolvent was at this time—in 1850 and 1851—living in a stylish manner, and ordered the articles. He had paid some money to him for goods supplied. The schedule was thoroughlyinvestigated bythe learned commissioner, and he remarked upon the numerous tailors that appeared in the document. The debts on the schedule were 3,138/.,for 1,5001. of which no consideration had been received. In the year 1851 the insolvent won 3,0001. on horse races, and afterwards lost considerable sums. He had resided at Long's Hotel and other places, and had hired carriages, &c. He had some debts owing to him, but they were bad. Among the debts on the schedule was one of 501., money lent some time back by Mr. Mansfield, of the Gloucester Hotel, Brighton. Mr. Commissioner Law asked the insolvent why he had not paid that debt, when he won in one year 3,0001. The insolvent said he was not then applied to for the money. Mr. Commissioner Law—The English of that is, that you could have found him, if you had chosen. His Honour remarked that the insolvent's income ceased in June 1851, and since that time he had lived pretty freely. "You," added the learned commissioner, " Got a vast deal of property out of other people for nothing." In answer to Mr. Sargood the insolvent said that in 1850 and in 1851 he was successful in betting, and he paid about 5001. of his old debts. He got goods from Messrs. Denning. They were sent home without any invoice or bill. Goods were sent home which he had not ordered. Mr. Denning declared that he never sent goods which were not ordered, and for which prices had not been agreed upon. Mr. Sargood admitted in his speech for the insolvent that the history of the case did not come before the Court in a very graceful form. It was for the court to say what reasonable expectations the insolvent had had of paying his debt out of such illegal transac tions as those in which be had been engaged. He was sure the court would take into consideration that the insolvent had been some months in prison, and such was his condition that but for one of those casualties which sometimes happened, he would not have been able to file his schedule. It was the 501. won in prison that had enabled him to come before the court. Mr. Commissioner Law intimated that he did not wholly credit the statement as to the want of means. • The insolvent assured the court it was true. Mr. Sargood could only hope, if the court felt it to be its duty to give a judgment, that the imprisonment the insolvent had already endured would be considered. Mr. Commissioner Law gave judgment. He observed that the insolvent, who had been in a banking house, had, when he became of age, gone on the turf, having nothing—that had been for about six years his trade or profession. There was no doubt it was a fluctuating calling, but, at the same time, those persons following it were bound to contract their expenses so that they might meet them. The insolvent had not done so, but had lived at a greater rate than his good fortune would war rant. Besides, since his income increased, he had con tracted a number of debts. Only one creditor opposed, and the question was, what reasonable expectations he had of paying the debt. He (Mr. Commissioner Law) knew that it was the opinion of some, that a person should be asked as to his circumstances, and that a tradesman who failed to do so had no right to complain if he was a loser. That was not his opinion. A trades man who was dealt with saw his customer come in a brougham and living at Long's Hotel, by which he pre sumed he was a gentleman, who could pay for the goods he ordered. The party who got the credit knew his circumstances, and whether he had reasonable means of paying his way. That was the case here ' • and, dealing with it i n th a t manner , t h e i nsolvent would be discharged out of prison when he had been in custody at the suit of Messrs. Denning for a period of eight calendar months from the vesting order. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—June 15. Edwin, Henry Powell, 26, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, described as a clerk, was indicted, together with a person named Joseph Farrell, for forgery and uttering a receipt for money, with intent to defraud. In other counts of the indictment Farrell was charged as a principal, and the prisoner was alleged, in the terms of the statute, to have harboured, assisted, and com forted him, after the commission of the offence, he being at the time aware that he had committed it. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Huddlestone, and Mr. Bayly con ducted the prosecution on behalf of the Bank of Eno.- land ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry. This case occupied the Court for several hours, and nearly 30 witnesses were examined for the prosecution. A great deal of the evidence, however, was of a formal character, consisting of the tracing of notes, &c., and the real facts upon which the charge contained in the last mentioned counts in the indictment (which were all that were relied upon) was sought to be established against the prisoner lay in a very narrow compass. It appeared that Farrell was engaged during the year 1851 as a supernumerary clerk in the Bank of England, and he was employed in various branches of the establish ment, but principally in the dividend warrant office, and consequently was well acquainted w ith th e manner i n which the business was carried on. It seemed that a gentleman named Davidson was possessed of a sum of 20,0001. in the Three per Cent. Consols, and that, for some reason or other, ever since the year 1847 be had not received any dividends upon his stock, and according to the custom of the Bank the warrant for each half year's dividend as it became due was placed in a par- ticular drawer. Farrell had ample opportunities of becoming aware of the existence of these overdue war rants, and there appeared to be no doubt whatever that he had got possession of them, and by availing him self of the knowledge of the modes of obtaining dividends so overdue, and forging the signature of the gentleman legally entitled to them, he succeeded in obtaining on different occasions the sum of 2,300/., and it appeared that in February last he absconded, and has, up to the present period, evaded detection. There was no evi dence whatever to connect the prisoner with the forgery, and the way in which it was attempted to support the charge of being an accessory after the fact was by show ing that he was on very intimate terms with Farrell, and that when the latter went away he accompanied him in a gig, and that they travelled about to different parts of the country ; and it also appeared that he had sent a man to the Bank of England with a 501. note, part of the produce of one of the forgeries, which he desired him to get changed, and he told him if he was asked any questions he was to say that he had received the note from a person who was waiting outside the bank. The clerk to whom application was made for change was not satisfied with the account given him, and detained the note, but it appeared that no steps were taken to ascertain where the man came from, and if this had been done it was very probable th a t Farrell would have been apprehended. In addition to these facts, Daniel Forester, the officer, proved that the prisoner came to him on the 28th February at the Mansion-house, stating that he did so in consequence of seeing an ad vertisement in a newspaper of the previous Saturday, offering a reward for the apprehension of Farrell. Upon being cross-examined, however, Forester said that until the day referred to, namely, the 26th of February, there had been no public instruction given that any forgeries had been committed by Farrell, and that the prisoner told him that he was induced to come forward and state what he knew about Farrell in consequence of that advertisement, and that he was anxious to give him all the information he was possessed of upon the subject. The officer likewise admitted that the prisoner told him all the places he had been to with Farrell, and said that he had left him at an inn near the Stoat's-nest station, on the Brighton Railway, on the Saturday night before, and that it was very probable he was still there • and upon his going to the place, he found the story o f the prisoner was true, but he ascertained that Farrell had left, and he traced him to Merstham, when he lost scent of him, but obtained possession of a bag which con tained more than a hundred sovereigns, which he had left behind him. Mr. Ballantine, in the course . of a brief and f orc ibl e address on behalf the prisoner, contended that there was not a tittle of evidence in support of the charge of harbouring and assisting Farrell, the principle felon, which was the only charge the jury were called upon to consider. He said there was an utter absence of proof that the prisoner knew anything about any forgeries having been committed, and as to his having been about the country with Farrell, he put it to the jury whether, considering the terms of intimacy on which they were, he might not have been induced to do so by a hundred different representations of the most innocent character. He also particularly called the attention of the jury to the fact that the moment he did learn from the adver tisement that Farrell was charged with forgery he im mediately went to the officer Forrester, and told him all he knew upon the subject, and he said he could not help expressing an opinion that it was hardly fair for a powerful corporation like the Bank of England, in con ducting a prosecution against a person of humble cir cumstances like the prisoner, not to have instructed their counsel to state the fact to the jury, but leave it to be elicited by cross examination. The Chief Baron, in summing up, said that, from his own experience and his knowledge of what was passing around him, he was satisfied that the Bank of England regarded all matters of this description in a liberal, en lightened, a n d h umane manner, an d t h at t h ey would not agreedr dual under f e c a h rn ar e g d e. laon i r an moment think o f p rac ti s i ng any un f a i rness t o war d s counsel At the sa e s ta h t e e q m u e i n t e t made lay th e prison rto the thamt same time officer ought to have been proved on the part :f the prosecution. Mr. Clarkson here interposed, state ment was not on his briaealVivd said that the state i it, lip Taos howeTers informed , that i as c t i , u w i as e ignorant the Q to t officer under circumstances likely to be prejudicial to the prisoner, and on that account alone was not given in evidence. The Chief Baron said he did not see any excuse for not offering the evidence. They had been engaged all day in examining a multitude of witnesses proving cir cumstances with the greatest possible minuteness, the whole of, which were admitted by the mouth of the pri soner himself, and he was afraid the statement had been kept back by a desire so strongly entertained by detec tive bfficers to earn , a character for zeal, activity, and success, , which in reality they did not deserve. 'The=jury returned a verdict . of not guilty. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, IX53' NEW COURT. Thomas Hogan, 28, printer, and Thomas Perkins, 29, dealer, were indicted, Hugan for stealing one cwt. of prints, and one - .ewt; of publications,. valued - at 8/., the property of William Cassell ; and Perkins for receiving the same, knowing it to haVe been stolen. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Giffard pr6secnted, and Mr. Parry, Mr. Sleigh, and Mi. Prendergast'defended From the statement of the learned counsel, it appeared that the prosecutor is the printer and publisher of cheap publications on Ludgate-hill, and Hogan had been.par tially in his service, and when not thoroughly employed was allowed to buy the waste of the office. A short time back, it coming to Mr. Cassell's knowledge that some prints which formed part of his stock were being hawked about the streets, Brett, the City detective, was Set upon the watch, and upon the 6th of May he saw Hogan come to prosecutor's premises and take away a large quantity of paper, which he conveyed in a truck to the house of Perkins, who lives at 21, Windsor-place, City road. These turned out to be the articles named in the indictment, all new prints and publicationn. Other evi dence was then obtained which clearly established the connection between the parties and proved that the plundering and receiving by Perkins had been carried on to a great extent. They were both found guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. Benjamin Ward, a shabbily dressed man, described as a naval surgeon, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a great coat belonging to one of the guards, at the terminus of the London and Brighton Railway, at London-bridge. The prisoner is also suspected of being a notorious begging letter impostor, as in his possession was found a number of letters addressed to members of Parliament, Baron Rothschild, and a variety of benevolent individuals, ask ing charity. Henry Harter, a servant in the employ of the Brigh ton Railway Company, but who unlawfully assumed to be a constable, stated that his attention was called to one of the waiting-rooms in the station by a porter, who had found the prisoner concealed in a watercloset. Witness proceeded there and discovered in the prisoner's possession a great-coat belonging to one of the guards, and near him were the numbers and letters which had recently been cut off the collar. Witness asked hiM where he got the coat from, when he replied that it was his own, and that he had purchased it four or five weeks ago in Whitechapel, , He then detained him, and took him into the superintendent's office, when he found on him a pair of horse pistols, a pair of false whiskers, and a number of begging letters addressed to members of Parliament and others. Mr. A'Beckett said he had acted as a metropolitan police-constable without any authority. He had no right to search or examine a prisoner. The witness replied that he certainly was not sworn in as a constable, but the company dressed him like one, and required him to act as such. The prisoner emptied his pockets and placed the letters and other things in his hand, when he sent for a constable outside the sta tion, and handed him over to his custody. The prisoner here exclaimed that he was searched and examined by the railway authorities, and that his letters were read, although he protested against it. Mr. A'Beckett, told the railway officer that such con duct could not be tolerated. It was his duty to have immediately sent for a constable, and not to cross examine a prisoner in such a manner. Richard Cheeseman, 469 A, said he was sent for about a quarter-past eight that morning to take the prisoner into custody. He had been searched by the railway authorities before his arrival, and the property produced was handed to him by last witness. Among the papers were several flash notes on the " Bank of Folly." The constable also stated that Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society, knew the prisoner, and that if he wai remanded he should be able to attend on a future day. Mr. A'Beckett said he did not know that those letters had anything to do with the charge before him. He was charged with trespassing on the railway and stealing a coat. Mr Acton, the superintendent of the railway com pany's police, was in attendance at this period of the examination, and stated that the terminus was private property, and that their servants had power to take any trespasser into custody. The guard and the porter were also present. Jaines Winters, a porter in the employ of the railway company, said he found the prisoner in one of the water closets with the great-coat on him. Joseph Jewry, one of the guards, also identified it as the one he had recently worn, and that it was the pro perty of the company, and had been brought from Brighton by another guard. Mr. Acton said if the prisoner was remanded until Friday the latter would be in attendance, and other evi dence would be forthcoming which would further impli cate him. Mr. A'Beckett accordingly remanded him until Fri• day. THAMES.— W. Allen, 37, a coal-whipper, of most repulsive aspect, residing at Three Cup-alley, Shadwell, was Charged with being drunk and assaulting a lad named John Curling, a labourer, of Glasshouse-fields, Ratcliffe; and also assaulting Bidgood, 168 K, in the execution of his duty. The prosecutor stated that he was sitting on a little cask at the door of a public-house where the prisoner had been drinking, when the latter came out and said— " I owe you a grudge," at the same time striking him heavily on the head. He throw himself on the ground, thinking the prisoner would cease his ill usage, but in stead of that he kicked him on the stomach and the lower part of his person, until he was doubled up with pain and rendered almost insensible. Bidgood, the con stable, was called to the spot, and found the prisoner concealed behind'the public-house door, and took him into custody. On the way to the station-house he resisted with great violence, and threw the con stable several times, kicking him with such violence in the chest that he still suffered great pain. On the way they came to A. place where there was a descent of len or twelve steps, down which the prisoner attempted to throw him, but fortunately did not succeed, or his neck would have been broken. The prisoner, in his defence, said the prosecutor caused people to annoy him and his wife, and being under the influence of drink, his temper overcame him. Mr. Yardley—ls this prisoner known ? Roche (the gaoler)—He is well known here, sir. Mr. Yardley—For what ? For violent assaults, Fir. on the police, and others. There is but little doubt that he will go on until he has killed some one ; and he is worse since he came back. Mr. Yardley—Back froth where ? From transporta ion. Prisoner—l got some injuries on my head, and when I get a drop of drink I am mad. Mr. Yardley—Then you should not drink, and I will do what I can to cure you. For the assault on the young man Curling I shall fine you 31., or one month's imprisonment, and for the assault on the constable one month's imprisonment without the alternative of a fine. The fellow was then locked up. Mr.' George Williams, a comical-looking wight, de scribed as a shipbroker, of Tower-street, City, was charged with being drunk and incapable. Mr. Yardley was about to discharge him, but seeing his description on the sheet, said, Stop, Mr. Williams, I see no reason why I should not fine you. Mr. Williams—l was not drunk, sir. It was all the consequences of influenza, which left its dregs in my feet. Mr. Yardley—l fear it was brandy in the head, not influenza in the feet. (Laughter.) What is your opi nion, constable. (Laughter.) Constable—l'm sure he was drunk, sir. . Prisoner—No, sir ; 'tis the dregs of the erysipelas. I'm a martyr to it. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—Well, Mr. Williams, I think the con stable is a better judge of your disease than you yourself are, and I must fine you three shillings. Mr. Williams, not having the cash, was about to be locked up ; but Mr. Yardley thought him too good humoured for compulsory solitude, and remitted the fine. HAMMERSMITH. —M ary Bartlett, aged 63 years, and her daughter, Mary Bartlett, living in Brook Green place, Hammersmith, were charged before Mr. Beadon. with stealing a junk or basket of spinach, belonging to Thomas Deadman and Emma Maria Deadman, market gardeners, Red Cow-lane, Hammersmith. The prosecutrix (Miss Deadman), who was most fa shionably attired, said she was in partnership with her brother, and the spinach and basket produced were tbeir property. She had not missed the junk, as they were too busy on Sunday morning last to count their goods. The basket of spinach was brought to her on the pre vious evening by Sergeant Scotney of the T division, and she believed it was stolen on Saturday night. The younger prisoner had been in their service for upwards of ten years, but had left about nine months ago. She, however, worked for them for a quarter of a day on Thursday last. The son of the landlord of the Red Cow public-house next proved that on Saturday evening last he was on a visit to Miss Deadman, when, on going outside the house, he saw the younger prisoner come down a ladder from a loaded waggon. She had , onions and spinach in her possession. He called Miss Deadman, but she said she was too busy to attend to it then. It further appeared, from two other witnesses, that the elder prisoner took the junk of spinach to a house in the neighbourhood, and said she would leave it for her daughter. The name of Deadman was on the basket, and the prosecutrix having been informed of it being i n the house, she gave the elder prisoner into custody. Inspector Lee, of the T division, said the younger pri soner had just before entered the court, and had given herself into custody. The younger prisoner said, when she took the spinach she had been drinking, but she afterwards intended to return it to the master. She then said that she had had seven children by the prosecutrix's brother, and he had given her a key to enter the premises whenever she liked, and to get anything she might want. Mr. Beadon (who had evidently not heard the latter part of the younger prisoner's defonco iu the coufulion of the court) fined her 20s. for the unlawful possession, and discharged her mother. After the prisoner was locked up, the magistrate was informed of what she had stated respecting the children, and the, key given to her by one of the prosecutors, when his worship expressed great astonishment, and said he never should have convicted her if he had hap pened to have beard that statement. He immediately ordered the prisoner to be brought up, and called the prosecutrix back. His Worship then asked her if her brother had been cohabiting with the prisoner?—The Prosecutrix—No, sir. Mr. Nicols the clerk—Th e i n ti macy t oo k place, I be lieve, sir, while the prison er was i n t h e serv i ce of Mr. Deadman. Mr. Beadon—Then it is a most disgaceful affair, and one that ought never to have been brought into a court of justice. One of the prosecutors of the prisoner was the father of her seven children, and she was charged with stealing spinach, when he had actually given her permission to enter his grounds by placing in her hands a key. _ The Prosecutrix—Sir, sir, are we to be robbed ? Mr. Beadon—Don't sir me ; leave the court directly. I am disgusted with such proceedings. The prosecutrix then left the court, declaring that she would take the matter before another tribunal. Mr• Beadon discharged the prisoner, and cautioned her not to go near any goods that were packed.

The reduced rate of mortality announced in last re turn was continued in the week that ended last Satur day, in which the number of deaths registered was 1,007. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number was 887, which, with a correction for increase of population, becomes 976. The actual mor tality is, therefore, still in excess of the estimated amount by 31._ _ _ As compared with those of the previous week, the pre sent results exhibit general uniformity. Fatal cases produced by typhus have risen again from 41 to 53 ; those by phthisis, from 152 to 163 ; and while bronchitis has still further declined from 63 to 54, pneumonia has increased from 42 to 62. Small-pox last week carried Off 5 children and an adult ; scarlatina, 28 children and 2 adults ; measles an d hooping-cough, 25 and 58 children respectively. A few weeks ago diarrhcea slightly mani fested a disposition to increase, but more recently it has subsided. The deaths from this complaint were 23, while the corrected average is 15. Mr. Hooper, registrar of the north-west sub-district of the City of London, has addressed the following note to the Registrar-General :—" A report of rather an alarming character having appeared in the news papers respecting scarlatina at Christ's Hospital, I visited the infirmary of the school to ascertain the facts of the case, and found that the total number of cases received into the infirmary since the 30th of Sep tember last, the date when the epidemic first made, its appearance, to this day is 76, out of which num ber 2 proved fatal ; one boy died on 12th February, and the other on 24th April. T here are at present in the infirmary 12 scholars under treatment, 8 of whom lam happy to report, are convalescent. One of the masters (Rev. Mr. Collingwood) died this week. His residence is not in my district." The death of this gen tleman is registered in the Cripplegate sub-district as follows : On Bth June, Little Britain, Aldersgate, clerk in orders, 34 years, " scarlatina, delerium, convulsions." Last week the bi r ths of 740 boys and 768 girls,. in all 1,508 children, were registered in London. The average number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 was 1,286. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 806 in. The reading of the barometer decreased from 29.81 in. at the beginning of the week to 29.75 in. by 3 h. p.m. on the 6th ; increased to 29.96 in. by 9 h. a.m. on the Bth ; and decreased to 29.59 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 60.8 deg., or 2.9 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day, except Sunday and Monday ; on Wednesday and Saturday, when it was highest, it rose to 65 deg. and 68 deg., which are 7.1 deg. and 9.5 deg. above the average. The highest temperature in the week was 81 deg. on Saturday, the lowest was 42.3 deg. on Tuesday. The greatest difference between the dew point tempera ture and air temperature was 23 deg., and occurred on Wednesday ; the least was 2.8 deg. on. Sunday and Fri day ; the mean difference of the week was 11.8 deg. The wind blew mostly from the south-west and south east. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " THE YOUNG HEIRESS," bids fair to attain a more extensive popularity than any of her recent works. "In our opinion (ob serves the Standard) The Young Heiress is much the best of Mrs. Trollope's novels. The characters are drawn with uncommon vigour, and the complications of the tale managed with great ingenuity, as well as much p-aphic power, in describing incidents." " The know ledge of the world (says the Observer) which Mrs. Trot- Lope possesses in so eminent a degree, is strongly exhi lbited in this novel. It is penned in her fluent easy style, the plot is ingeniously constructed, and the situations :are natural and truthful. The Young Heiress cannot fail to be highly popular." _ .

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, June 14.—The American accounts (ex tracts fromwhich will be found elsewhere) report an upward ten den cy in the price of cotton, notwithstanding the receipt of dull advices from this side. The then unfavourable state of the weather for the new crop is the alleged cause. The circumstances just named, aided by the opera tives' demand for higher wages and reduced hours of labour, have occasioned, on the one hand, rather more inquiry for yarns and goods, and, on the other hand, a disposition to harden in price on the part of spinners, with greater firmness amongst manu facturers. Yarns may be stated as decidedly firm at the extreme quotations of last week. The buyers, how ever, proceed with caution, and the transactions of the day are not large ; indeed, producers are not inclined to enter into long contracts in the existing state of the rela tions betwixt themselves and their work-people. For India and China there is scarcely anything doing either in yarns or goods. At Stockport, as we stated on Sa turday, all the mills whose occupiers are members of the association have entirely ceased working. The number of hands thus withdrawn from production is estimated at 15,000 to 18,000. ROCHDALE, June 13.—The market has been quiet to day and very little doing. This is generally a slack month, as it is too early for the commencement of win ter orders. The wool dealers are very willing to sell at the old prices. June 11.—The threatening aspect of the political world has made even this dull market duller than it was ; and there is very little demand for any de scription of worsted goods. Yarns continue much the same. There is but little doing in wool, and the quota tions are much as they were. The new clip has not, so far,_had any noticeable effect u p on p r i ces . Ii.IIDDERSFIBLD, June 14.—There has been a slight improvement in the tone of our market this week upon lase. Rather more has been done generally throughout the trade, but more especially in new patterns, of which they are pretty well bought up ; low qualities in fancies seem to be in pretty good request. BIRMINGHAM, June 13.—The prospects of the trade have not improved during the past fortnight. Several circumstances have transpired to prevent any revival of confidence, or renewed activity among merchants and consumers ; not the least prominent of these has been the continued exhibition by the ironmasters themselves, with a few honourable exceptions, of distrust in their own position, and the shameless underselling resorted to in some descriptions of both wrought and pig iron. A reduction of 10s. or 20s. is predicted in some quarters, and at the same time an expectation is naively expressed that the principal of going down with the prices of iron will be cheerfully recognised by the workmen, in ac cepting a corresponding reduction of wages with grati tude for past favours. BRUTAL MURDER IN GLASGOW. A murder of a most savage character was perpetrated here on Sunday morning. It appears that two men, named Alexander Boyd and James Law, and who are ship car penters by trade, had been drinking together very freely in the course of Saturday night. About one o'clock on Sunday morning they were in the street, when they were accosted by some loose women, who enticed, first Law, and then Boyd, into a lowden in the New Vennel, kept by a woman named Helen Blackwood. About an hour after wards Boyd was precipitated from the window above to the street below, by which he sustained such severe injuries on the skull that he died instantly. So far as we have been able to ascertain, the circumstances attending this brutal case were as follow :—Shortly after they had been decoyed into the house liquor was produced, of which the two men partook. This drink, there is good reason to believe, had been previously drugged, in consequence of which Law became totally insensible, and his companion par. tially so. When they had been reduced to this state the woman Blackwood, already referred to, a man named Hans Smith Macfarlane, with whom she cohabited, and another woman named Mary Hamilton, proceeded to strip the insensible men of their clothing and property. As Boyd was a powerful man he was not so completely stupefied as his companion, and he made resistance when he found the wretches in the act of taking off his clothes. They succeeded, how ever, in overpowering hint and removing his boots, trousers, vest, and jacket, and one of the women was observed to rifle his pockets after the clothes had been taken off the man's person. Boyd, how ever had so much consciousness left as to know that he had been plundered, and, when demanding back his property, or threatening the thieves with the police, he was dragged to th e w i n d ow an d t osse d over head foremost from a height of three storeys, or about 26 feet. He fell heavily on the back of his head, by which' the skull was extensively fractured, and, as we have said, death was instantaneous. The den in which this bloody tragedy was acted is only eight feet in length by six feet four inches in breadth ; and it happened that, in addition to the perpetrators and the two ship carpenters, there were present two destitute boys, the one aged 14 and the other 10, who, from some acquainta nce w ith Bl ac k woo d h a d got shelter in the place and under the bed. These boys, the pre sence of whom must have been forgotten for the moment, witnessed all that took place ; and, moreover, some women, who suspected that unfair play was go ing on, also observed what was in progress inside through a chink in the door. When Boyd's body was tossed over, the alarm was given by the women who had been looking through the hole, and the police were immediately upon the spot. The women Blackwood and Hamilton and the man Macfarlane had meanwhile decamped, the only persons left in the house being the boys already referred to and Law, who lay on the floor in a state of insensibility. Officers were instantly dispatched with a description of the offenders to the various police-stations, and men were also set upon the watch at almost every portion of the municipality. The woman Hamilton was speedily captured in High-street, and between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning IVlacfarlane and Blackwood were ap prehended while passing through a vacant spot of ground in Bridgeton, the one following the other, with the evident intention 'of escaping from the city. In addition inquiries were set on foot by Captain Mackay, which are likely at the proper time to produce a con vincing body of evidence regarding the actual perpetra tion of this cruel and reckless murder. The man Law was taken to the police-office, but from the large quan tity that he had drunk during the evening, and the drugged liquor- which was afterwards administered to him, he had no recollection of a single circum stance that occurred. It appears that the unfortunate man Boyd had been recently living in Valparaiso, and came to this country a few months ago to look after some property which he had inherited in consequence of the death of his mother in Edinburgh. During his residence in this neighbourhood he lodged in Finnieston-lane, which place he left on Friday last with the intention of going to Port Glasgow. Whether he went there or not we have no means of knowing, but on the following day he met with Law, who was an old acquaintance, and at that time he was on his way to Dumbarton. Instead of going there, however, the two men, unfortunately, commenced a drinking bout which has h a d th e l amen t a bl e termina tion we ve already detailed. Deceased was a strongly built man, and seemed to be about 40 years of age. WINES AND SPIRITS.--The annual circular of Messrs. Matthew Clark and Sons contains a Parliamentary re turn, moved for at the instance of their firm, of the imports and deliveries in detail of foreign wines and spirits for the United Kingdom during the, years 1851 and 1852. As regards wine, the importations for 1852, which amounted to 6,793,304 gallons, show a decrease, as compared with the proceeding year, of 2,215,124 gal lons, the total being the smallest that has been known for many years. The deliveries for home consumption, however, presented an increase of 65,408 gallons, and those for export an increase of 120,615. With respect to spirits the total impo r t a ti on o f rum i n 1 852 was 5,490,224 gallons, showing an increase of 744,890 gal lons, while in the total deliveries there was an improve ment of 1,050,315 gallons, consequent almost entirely upon the large export demand. The returns as to brandy likewise exhibit an augmentation, the imports having been 3,959,452 ga llo ns , an d the home deliveries 1,924,395, showing an increase of 1,028,485, in the for mer, and 65,122 in the latter. The export also was in this case unusually large, being 286,794 gallons in ex cess of that of 1851. Of British spirits generally the consumption was 25,200,879 gallons against 23,976,596 in the preceding year, the chief increase being in Ire land. With regard to the general course of the wine trade, it is remarked that during the past year there has been a rise in all the wine-growing countries, owing to the increased demand from all parts, and especially from Australia. At the beginning of 1853 the stocks in Eng land were lower than for 15 years, and about 1,000,000 gallons under the average. The following table shows the proportion per cent. which each description of wine bears to the total home consumption of all sorts for the past three years : 1850. 1851. 1852.

The King's Secretary has sent a written reply, in which he says : 'His Majesty does not think that the term stormy can be applied to such a period, and that it would rather merit the appellation of an unreasonable period, seeing that an audacious and re volutionary party had used every imaginable effort to destroy the principle of obedience to the laws, and the devotedness of the inhabitants of Wurtemburg to their dynasty, to overthrow the established order of things, and to call down incalculable misfortunes on the people, who will long suffer for its errors.' " SCENE IN A CHIIIICH.--A few Sabbaths ago, in one of our city churches, a preacher from the country was thrown into a fix by the non - appearance, through some mistake, of the regular precentor. He accordingly inti mated to the conga. egation his inability to proceed, un less some one volunteered to act as substitute. Several minutes elapsed, at id his patience becoming exhausted, he was about to give notice of dismissal, when a young lad of sixteen rose - from a remote corner of the pews and walked into the bonch. He conducted the psalmody throughout to the admiration of all present —Glasgow Courier. _. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 15. The Odin, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Francis Scott, came into harbour from Spithead this morning to fill up with coals, &o. The Encounter, 14, screw -corvette, Captain O'Cal laghan, received her crew from the hulk, and hauled into the stream this morning, and commenced swinging for the adjustment of her compasses. The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Wilson, will be paid off at this port on Friday. The Rhadamauthus, steam-transport, Master-Com mander Belam, arrived this morning from Devonport with stores. The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, returned from Devonport to-day. The American steam-frigate yacht North Star came through Spithead again about eight o'clock last evening, after landing her pleasure party at Southampton. The platform battery salute, in return to her owner's compli ment, which we described as in course of preparation, was not fired after all. The Victoria New York line of packet ship sailed from Spithead this morning. This morning the pilot-boat Edward and Mary, of Cowes, landed at this port, from the barque Fancy, W. H. Henderson, Master, four boxes and six bags of mails from Auckland, New Zealand (dated the sth of Feb.), which passed up Channel for London. The Conflict, 8, screw, was commissioned to-day for the purpose of again proceeding to the measured mile at Stoke's Bay, having on board the constructor of the boomerang propellor, so that everything may be con ducted with perfect fairness in testing its merits against the old screw. The boomerang propellor arrived in the dockyard this morning, and will be instantly shipped ; and if the weather be equally favourable as that of to day the trial will take place to-morrow. The Neptune, 120, Captain Edward H. Scott, having caulked and payed over her topsides, commenced re-cop pering this morning. She is almost perfect in her rig ging, and by the latter end of the week will be ready to leave the harbour. The Victory, guard-ship, fired a salute of 15 guns last evening in acknowledgment of the compliment paid by the American steam-yacht North Star to the naval service at this port. They certainly were a jolly party on board the yacht, and the frequent dipping of the ensign obliged our signalmen on board to keep the haul yards in their hands to return the courtesy. The guns of the yacht brought the Royal Artillery on the Platform, it being supposed that the garrison might be honoured with a salute. Such, however, was not intended, and the men at 5.40 were marched back to their quarters. The Princess Royal, 90.—This beautiful two-decker screw advances hourly towards completion.
