The Succession Duty Bill has been partially considered in committee, but no attempt has as yet been made to carry into execution fully and fairly the broad and comprehensive principle enunciated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and really to equalise the duty on successions to every description of property real or personal, settled or unsettled. The Right Honourable Gentleman has hitherto signally failed to fulfil the sanguine expectations he had excited. There is, indeed, a well-defined and easily discoverable line of demarcation be tween his professions and his practice that renders the measure under discussion little better than " a mockery and a delusion." It is unquestion ably a step in the right direction giving admis sion to the sharp end of the wedge, and recog nising a principle which must lead to further legislation until perfect equality be attained, for nothing less will satisfy the people. We are not, we confess, friendly to a tax on successions, which appears to us to be the very worst species of direct taxation. We conceive, as we have already stated, that it would be far more beneficial for the owners of accumulated and realised property to satisfy the amounts which they are bound to contribute to the National Exchequer by certain equal annual payments, commuted according to a reasonable calculation. than by large sums trenching deeply on their re spective capitals, levied at uncertain times and in unequal amounts. We cannot understand how those who object to a graduated Income Tax, denouncing it as little better than " confiscation," can assent to a plan which, according to the circumstances of the case, charges one person only the one-tenth of the amount levied upon his neighbour for succeeding to an inheritance of exactly equal value. Accord ing to the constitutional principle, each man should be taxed according to his means and posi tion ; and yet a duty of ten per cent., equivalent to nearly four years' income, is imposed upon one, while the other escapes on payment of one per cent., or little more than four months' in come. When this is sanctioned, surely there could be no objection to recognise the dis tinction between the fortunate possessor of 20, 000/. , and one of 2001. per annum. More especi ally when one is fixed and permanent, the other fluctuating and precarious. The charge should also be levied at equal inter4vals, so that each per son might know exactly what he would be called upon to pay, and be enabled to make provision ac cordingly ; but, here, one property may be exempted from the' demands of the tax:collector for sixty or seventy years, while another may pass through a dozen different. hands in the same space of time. It is obvious, too, ,that the successions will occur more frequently where there is a failure of direct issue, and the property goes to a colla teral branch of the family. But these are the cases which are charged most heavily, and therefore we find the highest proportions of duty of most frequent recurrence. A property passing through four or five brothers in succession will change hands much more frequently than one which descends from father to son in due course. The succession in the latter case will not occur more than once in a generation, or about from 25 to 30 years ; but, in the other instances, the average will be much lower, and ten or a dozen years will be much nearer the mark. We do not quite under stand this legislative " blowing hot and cold" which sanctions that, in the case of successions, which excites a sensation so profound_a horror so holy, if even proposed with regard to industrial incomes. But it is not in deprecation of the tax we desire to urge our arguments. It has been ren dered inevitable through the apathy and selfish indifference of those who disregarded the well founded complaints of the sufferers, so long as the grievance was not brought home to themselves, so long as they cou ld s hi r k and evade their own lia bilities,Our business now is to see that the mea sure, supp whi c h , according to the great admirer of the into 4tenmerary" Budget, " ev id ent l y developes perman enc form of P roperty Tax, designed for Y, and nf relieved fr om some of the ob noxious features as cProperty and Income Tax," shall be rendered mpl f et e as practicable, so as to obviate the necessietoyno the alterations and further discussion s pu e bli up excitement in the subject, keeping large inroads upon the tune mind, making the dispatch of the business of the and for and if any changes should be sanctioned', county ; the law, and occasioning a vast sive and ruinous litigation to parties who, oexpo" f amountuonfsettiing the statement made by the Solicitor-General be fairly carried out, so that, if successful, th ey might recover costs from the Crown, as from an ordinary litigant, would yet be heavily mulcted, by the difference of costs actually disbursed, and the amount recovered from the other side ; or, in legal parlance, "of costs between solicitor and client, and between party and party."

Why should the double machinery be pre served, and double costs incurred (for the duty' to Government will only constitute a portion of the disbursements of a successor to either real or per sonal property) on two distinct sets of duties, arising on, or rendered payable by, the same event, viz., the transference of property on, or in conse of any party ? Why s h ou ld quence of, the death not the Probate Duties, and Lega c y D u ti es , or duties on successions, be completely amalgamated ? and any questions arising in respect thereto adjudicated on by a singl e t r ib una l, an d i n a single suit in place of having one cause in the Prerogative Court, or, if there be bona notablita in different dioceses, causes in several distinct Prerogative Courts, another in one of the Superior Courts of Common Law, and another in Chancery ? Surely, if charges so onerous are to be maintained and extended, the machinery should be rendered as simple, the charge of col lection as moderate, the interference with the parties as limited, and the inquiries as little inqui sitorial, as could be consistent with the preven tion of fraud, and the evasion of the duties sanc tioned by the guardians of the public purse. At present the machinery is of the most com plicated character; and it is admitted,. on all hands, that many difficulties must arise, many years elapse, and an enormous quantity of litigation be encountered before the state of the law can be considered as settled, or judicial interpretations of the different provisions obtained on the multi plicity of cases that must be of almost daily oc currence under the contemplated enactments. What an extensive field for litigation must arise under the 7th clause as to what should be con sidered as "fraudulent evasions" of the duty ? How many questions will occur on the clause pro viding that " duties shall be paid on the suc cessor becoming entitled in possession but in the case of outstanding interest, on the determina tion thereof ?" How will it affect the adminis tration of trusts ? and who will, under such cir cumstances, be induced to undertake such onerous, responsible, thankless, and ill-requited duties ? But all these difficulties are occasioned by the de sire of . the Chancellor of the Exchequer to exhibit undue favouritism towards the landocracy, and to avoid carrying out that full and perfect equality of taxation which he averred to be the principle of his Bill, and which afforded so favourable an opportunity for self-gratulation. There is a well-kno wn and famous theory of the origin of us lords of the creation, according to which, from an almost invisible monad, we be came successively jelly-fish, dog-fish, reptiles, apes without tails, and, lastly, men. The tenant farmers, it would seem, have got beyond the rep tile stage, and soon, therefore, we may expect to see them begin to walk erect and gaze upon the sky. Mr. BERKELEY declares that, in respect to ready transference from Toryism to Whiggism, or vice versa, according as landlords change, and in perfect docility under the process of being put now on the Tory, now on the Whig side of the hustings, the farmers are veritable Buck-rabbits ; yes, tame Buck-rabbits. He gave the House some specimens of the taming process, but in truth they were not needed. Nothing is better known, to any one really acquainted with the agricultural districts, than the perfect subservience of the farmers to their landlords. The Reforva Bill has entirely changed the character of the county re presentation. Previously to that the independent freeholders were a very large proportion ; since then the tenants, a Large part of them being even tenants-at-will, have completely swamped the free holders. It was trivial of Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT to tell us of a few wealthy tenants-at-will in Wiltshire not voting for a corn-law repealer in South Wilts ; that was a venial offence in the eyes of landlords. The political surface of the English and Welsh counties is, beyond dispute, one nearly unbroken level of Toryism, or at least, of Landlordism a vast Conservative prairie, with a casual tree of Liberty per haps in a metropolitan county or manufactur ing half county. Indeed, Mr. BUTT, and other Reformers in his line, might attain their ends most easily by a bill to put the franchise directly into the hands of the landlords. The half million of voters in England and Wales would be quite as well polled through their 30,000 or 40,000 vote-owners. It would save the stewards much rather unpleasant work, and materially dimi nish the cost of county elections. The land lords could easily poll in a single day, and they would certainly not need the Ballot. So entire is the prostration, that even in the better cultivated counties, as in Norfolk and Suffolk, where leases are general, it makes little difference. The ten ant who dares to have an opinion and a will of his own, much morethe tenant who ventures to speak at public meetings for anything but "the repeal of the Malt Tax," and "taxing the foreigner," becomes a marked man. He is published amongst the landlords like a criminal amongst the police; even his brother farmers think him a fool for his pains, so com pletely do they look upon tenant slavery as one of the " domestic institutions" of agricultural dis tricts, well knowing that to seek escape from it is not only a hopeless attempt, but even embitters the bondage of the submissive. When his lease is out, his alternative not unfreouently is to quit the county, if not the country. One of the' strongest evidences of their bondage is that they dare not even ask for liberty. There is not a class who long for the Ballot more than the tenant farmers, especially where, as in the more highly cultivated counties, they are men of some intelli gence ; but they dare as soon cut off their right hands as sign a petition for the Ballot. Mr. BE KELEY'S picture of "putting on the election screw" is true to the letter. Why, Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself has felt it in his own case. He surely has not • forgotten how, on his becoming Home Secretary in 1835, all the Buck-rabbits of South Devon, or some 600 of them at least, were handed over from him to Mr. MONTAGU PARKER, the Conservative. The rab bits kicked not, that we heard of, but his Lord ship did kick a little, and threatened in his wrath that he would visit those who took them by the ears with the Ballot !

ELECTION COMMITTEES. -(THIS DAY. LIVERPOOL. The committee met to-day for the 19th time. Mr. Macaulay proceeded to sum up the evidence which had beer. adduced during the lengthened investi-. gation, and will in all probability occupy the entire day. TAUNTON. Several witnesses were examined this morning to prove that bills of 6/. and 71. were given to electors to induce them either to give their votes for the sitting members or to keep out of the way.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN BE THOMAS LAMB ATKINSON. This bankrupt was described as of Wood-street, linen warehouseman, and to-day came up on the application of Mr. Lawrence, for an extension of protection. The case was somewhat peculiar, as an adjournment sine die had taken place, the accounts having been prepared on erroneous principles. Mr. Lawrence now said that the accounts had been prepared by a person who evidently did not understand the business, but the matter had now been placed in the hands of Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, accountants, of considerable experience, and who considered they would be able to complete the accounts in a month. His Honour said there had been much unnecessary delay, and it was for silly persons who required assist ance not to apply to persons competent at first to grant protection. THE KING AND QUEEN OF HANOVER. Yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, the King of Hanover left the residence of the legation to pay a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert, and remained at Buck ingham Palace nearly two hours. On leaving the palace the King visited the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg Strelitz, visited the Queen of Hanover at the residence of the legation during the morning. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe also visited her Majesty during the morning. At three o'clock the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, paid a visit to the Queen of Hanover. The King had returned to the re,,-idenca of the legation at this time, and was in attend ance to welcome her Majesty. The Fing, attended by all the members of his suite, dined with her Majesty and the Prince Consort at Buck ingham Paiace last evening. The Queen of Hanover remained at the legation throughout the day.

At a special committee of the Stock Exchange, yes terday, it was resolved that the shares in the New Linares Mining and Smelting Company should appear in their official list. The day of settling stands as ap pointed for Tuesday next. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (Prom the Leeds Mercury/ of this day.) The woollen t ra d e o f Lo n don has been quiet for most descriptions, as the dealers are busy taking away their purchases at the late sales. The quantity of wool im ported into London during the week has been 3,000 bales, of which 1,354 were from Van Diemen's Land, 1,407 from Bombay, and the rest from Belgium, Ger many, &c. In the Foreign wool trade—the, intelligence of the past week in regard to Turkish affairs having been again of an unsatisfactory character—transactions, have been rather less freely entered into. Prices, however, have undergone no change.. In the English wool market sales have not been ex tensive during the present week, and prices are a shade in favour of the buyer. In the Pontefract wool market there was a larger supply of wool than is usual on the last market day, and a decline in price of ls. per stone. There has been no change of any importance in the cloth markets this week. About an usual business was done on Saturday, and a rather better tone prevailed in both the Cloth-halls. On Tuesday the coloured market was flat and quiet during the time allotted for holding the market ; but there was a fair quantity of cloth taken out of the hall after the ordinary hour of business, and during the day. There was a good demand in the White hall for, medium and lady cloths, and an active business was done in these descriptions of goods. Several of the most important London and other buyers have been in town during the week, which has improved the trade in the warehouses considerably. There is an average busi ness doing at present in the home trades. The shipping houses, are, we believe, coming to the close of their sea son, and are generally beginning to be rather quiet. HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been a slight improve. ment in the tone of our market this week upon last. 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. More would be done if manufacturers were to concede a little to the merchants' offers, manufacturers saying that the high prices of raw material and labour preclude all possibility of a reduction at present rates. In the hosiery trade of Leicester we have no al teration to report this week. Yarns continue firm. There is but little . doing in wools, prices remain the same, and purchasers are holding off until the result of the wool fair is ascertained. DIORAMA OF NAPOLEON'S CAMPAIGNS. —This diorama is perhaps one of the most interesting exhibitions in the metropolis. It exhibits all the chief exploits in the life of this wonderful man, and embraces those startling events which pass over more than a quarter of a century, and produced such varied results to the fortunes of many powers in Europe, and are depicted with perfect truth and faithfulness, commencing at the siege of Toulon, to the ending his military career on the bloody field of Waterloo. The pictures, 18 in number, are all painted with great force and effect, particularly the " Departure of the Fleet from Toulon," a painting not to be surpassed for artistic skill and truthfulness. The subjects are all illustrated with vocal and instrumental effects, together with an admirable lecture, by Mr. Stalman, a gentleman whose powers of elocution are highly t o be commended. HARWICH ELECTION.—The new writ for this borough, ordered on Tuesday night, was received by the mayor on Wednesday, and the election was at once proclaimed to take place on Monday next. Mr. Ba,gshaw (Liberal), who represented the borough in the last Parliament, but was defeated at the general election, is again a candidate, and he is to be opposed by Sir William Fraser, the un seated member for Barnstaple, who has been ingratiating himself with the inhabitants for some weeks past. It is • rumoured that Mr. Crawford, who • contested the seat twice with Mr. Prinsep in 1851, and sat for the borough for a brief period, is again coming down; but it is hardly likely he will be a candidate, as such a course must in jure the prospects of the Liberal party, the constituency being very evenly balanced. MEDITERRANEAN, MAILS.—Last evening the Hadding. ton arrived at Southampton with ship mails from the Mediterranean. She left Constantinople on the 28th, and Smyrna on the 31st ult. Her Turkish intelligence has, therefore, been anticipated. A Russian schooner was seen cruising near Zea, in the Greek waters. THE BEEPER POISONING CASE.—The inquiry into this mysterious case was resumed on Thursday, and, after a few hours' consultation, the jury returned the following :—" We return a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown ; and we do this because, though we think it discloses a case of great suspicion against Samuel Sheldon, we do not think it sufficiently conclusive to warrant our belief of his ultimate conviction." THE MASTER BUILDERS AND THEIR WORKMEN.— On Thursday night (the 16th), the masters met at the Freemasons' Tavern, and came to the determination that they will not receive any deputation from the work men while partial strikes are going on. The meeting represented the principal building firms in the metro polis ; and their resolve, so far as we can gather, was, that if the present harassment of two or three employers be continued, they will give the men three weeks' notice, and then close all their shops. Messrs. Law rence's men, we should add, have now struck.— The Builder. DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON AT COLCHESTER.—On Monday afternoon, whilst the workmen engaged in repairing the old Borough gaol at the back of the Town-hall (recently damaged by fire) were digging the foundation of a new hall, eight or ten feet within the original building, they came to a skeleton about three feet below the surface. The bones were those of a man between 30 and 40 years old. The skull was crown uppermost, as if the head had been bent for ward from the hole not being of sufficient length, and not the slightest trace or remains of either coffin or clothing could be found ; so that the remains are sup posed to he those of the victim of a murder. There are no !imams of ascertaining the length of time which has elapsed, but from the appearance of the bones it is thought they must have been in the ground at least 80 or 100 years ; during that period the building has been ap plied to a variety of uses, being, at the time of the last war, the town theatre as well as the borough gaol, so that it is impossible to form any conjecture upon the sub ject.—/pnvich Express. SELECT COMMITTEE3.—A. Parliamentary return, ob tained by Mr. Ewart, shows that in the session of 1852 the number of members who served on select committees was 230, and the number of members who served on no select committees was 424. Mrs. Wokie (late Miss Russell), who created so great a sensation at Miss Greenfield's concert, is a pupil of Signor Crivelli, under Whose able tuition she remained four years. This accomplished singer gave a German sang of Proch's with a charm seldom wit nessed. Vie are happy to inform our readers that Crivelli bas quite recovered from his late indisposition. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) MlNES. —During the early part of the week the de mand for good dividend shares was kept up, and many large purchases made; but towards the close a few sellers appeared in the market, and prices slightly receded. Some large sales have been made in several speculative mines, but to entice buyers holders were obliged to sub mit to very low rates indeed. It is considered that a judicious selection from some half-dozen or dozen of our most promising progressive mines would, if bought at present low prices, pay the buyers well in a few months, and with this idea many have been looking out for bar gains in Herodsfoot, North Fowey, Uny, West Ding Dong, Pen-y-Gelli, South Towy, Sydney, Orsedd, &c. In the Metal market, the buoyant state still predo minates ; in fact, the general demand exceeds any for mer period, especially in all kinds and sorts of iron, par ticularly rails ; whilst the delivery of Scotch pig exceeds 100,000 tons .a month. The price is firm at 525., and some parcels have realised 545. Spelter and copper are in great request ; the former rules at 221. ss. per ton, and the stocks are lessening daily. Lead and tin, although not so freely dealt in, maintain the quotation ; and, owing to the makers of plates abating hands, the market is clearing off at a slight advance. In the Bullion market, Mexican and South American dollars, 4s. 11id. per oz. Bar silver containing gold, all gold above 5 grains in the pound to be paid for, ss. id. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. The gold mining shares this week have been, on the whole, firmer. Trans ac ti ons were, i ndeed, very re stricted ; but owing to speculators having " beared " such descriptions as bore a high premium, shares gene rally have not been plentiful in the market ; and thus the few purchases which continue to be made by the public have a certain effect. The stock chiefly in de mand has been Agua Fria. The arrivals of gold for the week have been —the Stirlingshire, with six thousand pounds, from Launceston ; the Adelaide, from South Australia, 40,667 ozs.—value 163,000/. ; the Anglesea, from Sydney, with 27,500 ozs. ; and the Waterloo from the same port with 2,900 ozs.—making a total of 30,400 ozs., valued at 121,600/. The Wood bridge, from Geelong, with 10,173 ozs., of the value of 40,700/. ; and the Fanny, from Auckland, with 22 ozs. ; the arrival of this vessel is to be more especially noted, as she brings the first sample of New Zealand gold to the mother country. The latest dates of the prices of gold in Victoria and Sydney were respectively Si. 17s. and 3/. 15s. 6d. per oz. With the exception of Great Nuggets, which were at par to 'I . prem., the other descriptions of gold mining stock in the colony were solely at par. Two enormous masses of geld in quartz have been discovered, weighing upwards of 176 lbs. troy. The larger mass weighed 93 lbs. 2 oz. 5 dwts., the smaller 83 lbs. 9 oz. 5 dwts. A greater lump has likewise been discovered, weighing 134/ lbs., oat of which 120 lbs. is pure gold ; these have been found in Canadian Guley. The differ ence between the diggings at Ballarat and Mount Alex ander is, that in the latter it is finer and more equally diffused ; while in the former it is in larger lumps, and occurs less frequently. A similar difference has been observed between the Turon and Ophir diggings in New South Wales. The price of gold had kept steady at at 765. 3d. to 765. 6d, per oz., and the usual produce of the colony was selling at high rates, whilst the ex change on England had advanced. The increase in the price of gold is to be ascribed to the abundance of specie, arising from the heavy shipments received from England, the increased competition in trade, and the raising of the rate of exchange by the banks, the combined operation of which circumstances almost annihilates the profit de rivable for exporting gold to this country. In Miscellaneous Shares, the quotations have gene rally shown an improvement, although operations have been moderate. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY; TWO O'CLOCK. • The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for ex port and on speculation. The market closed steadily, with fair general demand. Railway Shares were steady. Except that the public deposits are declining, instead of increasing, as they invariably do at this period of the quarter, there is nothing in the Bank of England weekly return, made up to the 11th instant, to lead to the con clusion that the Corporation acted discreetly in raising its terms of discount. A glance at the comparative statement subjoined will prove, indeed, that its business fell off in consequence, and there are the further signifi cant illustrations of a diminished note circulation, an in creased amount of specie, a falling off in the loans, and an unusually large addition to the private deposits. Money therefore is obviously not scarce out of doors, while the sum abstracted from the Government balances if applied to support the market for the unfunded debt, has saved so much interest and can be obtained upon de ficiency bills when required, supposing the opportunity of selling Exchequer Bills in the open market has not, in the meanwhile, occurrrd, as is probable, 'considering they rule at a premium. The return deserves careful atten tion, and we leave impartial persons to decide whether the Bank had much cause for affright when it recently advanced its rate of discount. The comparison with the previous week is as follows : Active circulation.. Decrease. Bullion Increase Rest £23,083,080 340,355 18,479,515 225,581 3,111,594 5,399 3,737,044 898,410 14,033,791 1,130,862 1,332,238 57,785 13,124,910 Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Increase Seven-day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Inc _Tease 257 Other Securities 14,264,232 Decrease 386,127 Notes unemployed 8,907,983 Increase The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon showed a slight tendency to advance. On the principal Continental cities bills were taken as follows :—Paris 25 25 to 275 ; Antwerp 25 275 to 30 ; Amsterdam 1118 4 to 19 ; Ham burg 13 81 to 81; Fr an kf or t 1 20 k to 120 8 , and Trieste 11 to 11 4. The shipment of gold coin from London direct dur ing the week to Thursday last, was 14,817 ounces and 1,0001., and of silver 19,8000 ounces and 1,2811. The English Funds are steady, with very little doing, in the absence of any later important news. Consols have been quot e d 988 to 1, and the New 31 per Cents. have been done at 1018 1. Bank Stock has been firm at 228 to 229. Exchequer Bills are 3s to 6s. premium. Foreign Stocks are very quiet. Mexican Bonds have been 288 .1--a slight decline. Equador are steady at 6. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been marked 101. Spanish New Deferred Bonds have been quoted 231. The Swedish Loan is at 1 dis. There are no bargains in Russian. Dutch and Belgian Securities are very firm. Railway Shares have been nominally at about pre vious rates. There is scarcely any business doing in them. French Shares are better within the last half hour. The Gold Mine Shares are nominal, and also the Land Companies and Banks, but generally steady. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Sailed—La St. MURDER AT WALSALL. A young woman named Sarah Barber, aged 22, has been arrested at Walsall, South Staffordshire, charged with the wilful murder of her child, a boy aged about two years. The unfortunate woman would seem, with the utmost determination of purpose, to have cast her child into an old coal pit, which was upwards of eighty yards deep, and had in it more than twenty three feet of water. Once she was a domestic ser vant in Walsall, but, after her confinement in the workhouse of that town, she appears to have been with out the means of obtaining a livelihood by honest in dustry, herself being unmarried, and her widowed mo ther, if disposed, unable to afford her a home. Then the young woman and her child would seem to have suffered great privation, until re-admitted into the workhouse, and passed thence to the neighbouring one of Brend, which she had left only a fortnight before she committed the murder. On Sunday last she visited at. Bloxwich, near to Walsall, her aunt, a mar ried woman of humble means, named Jane White house, and then the child was with her. On Monday she repeated the visit, when she was alone, and in ex planation of the absence of her child said that a young lady from Derbyshire, visiting a gentleman in the neigh bourhood, having heard it cry in distress, had asked to be allowed to adopt the child, and that she (the mother) had consented. This extraordinary statement reaching the ears of police constable No. 9, of the Walsall police force, he instituted inquiries at the residence referred to, and finding that the tale was truthless, made search for and eventually apprehended the mo ther on the evening of the same day at Walsall. Re quiring her to show him the spot at which, as she stated, she gave up her child, she walked with him about a mile when she confessed that she had murdered her child in the manner stated, appealing at the same time for mercy to the Almighty. She then guided the con stable to the pit, which was situated away from a path way on Pelsall-common, and which, although long since disused, yet was fenced by two planks, which lay with an opening between each, across the centre of the pit's mouth. Here she pinned her child's clothes over his head, and deliberately cast him into the pit. The child has been since discovered, and without a bruise upon his person. THE NORTH LONDON COLLEGIATE SCHOOL.—Yes terday the annual distribution of prizes to the pupils in the North London Collegiate School, Camden-town, St. Pancras, took place, by permission of the vestry, in the spacious Vestry-hall. The Rev. Thomas Dale, the vicar, presided, and having feelingly addressed the pupils and their parents, the report was read, which showed that during the year the school had greatly progressed, and there had been an increase of scholars, as compared with last year, the number now amounting to 240, instead of 200. Letters were read from the Marquis Camden and other patrons, expressive of regret at unavoidable ab sence. The prizes Were then distributed, consisting of very handsomely -bound and valuable books, certificates of merits, &c. ; and at the conclusion the company separated, the committee adjourning to the Collegiate School, in High-street, where an elegant dejefinei wa s provided. - ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.---ThiS being the 38th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, it will be passed over in silentio. In consequence of the death of the late Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, there will no longer be the usual annual banquet at Apsley House on the occasion, nor any extra parade of troops in St. James's Park. A notice having appeared that there would be a grand review of the regi ments now encamped at Chobbam this day, before her Majesty, Prince Albert, and' the distinguished royal visitors at present in this country, their Majesties the- King and Queen of Hanover, his Royal Highness the Prince ofMeecsks thelenbuDrgulikeanodf CParimnbcreisdsgeSs,istaenrdtoothheir for s • Roeyiaglneliighn rs, is incorrect, as the review will not take place until Tuesday next, the 21st instant, which will be on a grand scale, SHARE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY.)
