Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the omnibus and hackney carriage proprietors, praying that power of appeal be given by the Hackney Carriage Bill against the decision of the Commissioners of Police. Lord CAMPBELL said he was opposed to the prayer of the petition, because he thought the Commissioners of Police would exercise the power proposed to be given to them in a manner beneficial to the public. If an ap peal was given, he hoped it would never come to the Queen's Bench, because he felt himself entirely incom petent to decide upon such matters. Lord BROUGHAM laid a bill on the table to amend the law with regard to the law of arrestment for debt. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed himself fa vourable to the principle, but suggested that time should be given to the large number of persons concerned to con sider it. Lord PANMURE was glad to find that the subject lad been taken up by the noble and learned lord opposite, because he thought that the present state of the law had a great deal to do with the statement which had lately appeased in the public prints relative to the enormous .onsumption of spirits in the large towns of Scotland. The bill was then read a first time. Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition against the Charitable Trusts Bill from the Incorporated Law So ciety. BURIAL GROUNDS BILL. The report with amendments on this bill was brought up and agreed to. HACKNEY CARRIAGE (METROPOLIS) BILL. Lord STANLEY of Alderleymoved the second reading of this bill. The present condition of the hackneycarriages •f' the metropolis was far below that of all the continental capitals and many of the provincial towns in this coun try. The noble lord entered into a detail of the provi sions of the bill, which have been fully laid before the public in the debates before the House of Commons. The noble lord gave notice that he should propose a clause to put a stop to the nuisance of advertising vans. He be lieved that a great saving would be effected to the pub lic), while the cab proprietors would enjoy a largely ex tended traffic. After a few words from the Earl of WALDEGRAVE and Lord WYNYORD the bill was read a second time. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY of Alderley, this bill was read a second time. DRUMMOND'S kDUC DE MELFORT) RESTITU. TION BILL. Ou the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, this bill passed through committee. The Income Tax Bill was read a first time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Mr. E. DENISON moved that the report from the select committee on St. Margaret's Church, Westmin ster,_ in session 1844, be referred to the committee on the Westminster Improvements Bill—that the committee on the Westminster Improvements Bill have power to report their obserTations thereupon to the house. Agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Poulnasherry Inclosure ; Rochester Bridge ; South Eastern Railway (Canterbury and Whitstable, &c.) ; South Eastern Railway (North Kent Railway to the Thames, &c.) ; South Eastern Railway (Strood to Maid stone) ; Witham Drainage Second District ; East Lon don Waterworks. The report upon the Wimbledon and Croydon Rail way Bill was considered, and agreed to. CLARE ELECTION. Mr. MILES brought up the report of the committee on this election, unseating Sir J. F. Fitzgerald and Mr. Cornelius O'Brien for the county of Clare. The resolu tions of the committee have already been published in The Sun. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD moved the issue of a new writ for the election of the two members in the room of the members who had been unseated. Mr. MILES said the feeling of the committee was that there was no reason at all why the writ should not be issued, but he thought it would be better to delay it until the evidence was in the hands of members. Mr. F. FRENCH considered that there was no earthly reason why the writ should be postponed. Mr. WARNER, as one of the members of the com mittee, entirely concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Miles. Mr. BOUVERIE said it was the usual practice to issue the writ at once, where the members were not de clared guilty of bribery. The SPEAKER stated that the motion was perfectly in accordance with the rules of the house. It was only in cases where bribery had been proved against the sitting member that seven days' notice of a motion for issuing a writ was required. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said his object in making the motion was to prevent the election taking place at the same time as the assizes in the county. (Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. Lord HOTHAM presented several petitions from Yorkshire and other counties against the Registration of Assurances Bill. Mr. PHINN presented a petition from the Catholics of Bath against the inspection of nunneries. Mr. MIALL presented several petitions from dis senting bodies in Lancashire against the Education Bill. Mr. E. BALL presented petitions from Cambridge shire to the same effect. Mr. W. J. FOX presented petitions from benefit societies in Oldham against the Registration of Assur rances Bill. Mr. T. PARKER presented similar petitions from Preston. Mr. EWART presented a petition from the colony of Victoria in favour of the ocean penny postage. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from Manchester, complaining of the duty imposed on salt imported into India, and praying that it be admitted either free or at a nominal rate of duty ; also, several petitions from Kent in favour of an affirmation being substituted for an oath in cases where persons had a conscientious objection to take the latter. Mr. J. BELL presented a petition from emigrants about to sail to Australia in favour of the ocean penny postage. Several petitions were presented from solicitors and others against the Registration of Assurances Bill. Mr. A. PELLATT presented a petition from Egham, Surrey, against the Government Educational Bill. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY presented a petition from Cork, against the inspection of nunneries.

(Before Mr. Baron Parke and a Common Jury.) BATEMAN AND OTHERS V. GREENWOOD AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by Messrs. Bateman, Daniel Bateman, and Samuel Bateman the younger, of Brighouse, near Bradford, in the County of York, card makers and manufacturers, against Mr. George Oates Greenwood, of Keighley, near Bradford, gentleman, for the recovery of 2661. 18s. 3d., the amount of certain goods supplied by the plaintiffs to a Mr. Leonard Greenham, trading under the style of " Leonard Green ham and Co." The plaintiffs relied upon certain agreements between Mr. Greenwood, the said Leonard Greenham and ano ther, by which it was sought by the plaintiffs to establish that those gentlemen were partners, so as to fix the de fendant Greenwood with liability for goods purchased from the public by Greenham. The arguments relied on were put in evidence, and at the conclusion of the plaintiffs' case Mr. Watson, Q.C., as counsel for the defendant Greenwood, submitted to his lordship that the agreements did not establish a partnership between the parties, so as to make the defendant Greenwood liable for goods purchased by Greenham. In this view his lordship concurred, observing, at the same time, that Leonard Greenham had no right, in his purchases of goods from the public, to have used the name of the firm of " Leonard Greenham and Co." His lordship stated that he was clearly of opinion that the plaintiffs should be nonsuited, and directed a nonsuit accordingly. new table of fees, under the County Co urt Act of 15 and 16 Vic., to be allowed as between party and party, and attorney and client, will be issued. Mr. FITZROY said the judges had prepared a scale which differed very much with that issued by the Lord Chancellor, and the matter had therefore bee referred to a committee of County Court Judges. He c ould not, under these circumstanFlcesNE , A answer the question. RTS. Mr. BELL wished to ask the Commissioner of Works whether plans were in course of preparation for a build ing on the ground recently purchased at Kensington by the Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851 ? Sir W. MOLESWORTH was not aware of any such plans being in preparation. SILVER COIN. Mr. OLIVEIRA wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what means were being taken to supply the deficiency of the silver currency complained of by the bankers ? Mr. WILSON said the demand for gold coin had con siderably abated, and arrangements had therefore been made for issuing a large quantity of silver coin. Mr. A. PELLATT wished to know if steps had been taken to get in light gold coin. Mr. WILSON said there was very little in circula tion. CHOBHAM CAMP. In reply to Mr. DRUMMOND, Lord PALMERSTON said steps would be taken to preserve peace while the camp was kept up at Chobham. DURHAM ELECTION. Mr. BRAMSTON brought up the report of the Durham election committee, declaring Lord Adolphus Vane to be unseated on the ground of bribery by his agents. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. In reply to a question from Mr HUME, Sir C. WOOD said there was no objection to produce the correspondence which had passed between the Go vernment and the Court of Directors on the subject of the Indian Bill. PUBLIC BUSINESS. In reply to Lord J. MANNERS, Lord J. RUSSELL said, if the debate on the India Bill was closed to-night, he should propose to take the second reading of the Succession Tax Bill the first thing to-morrow. The Customs Bill would be taken to-night. ARTERIAL DRAINAGE. In reply to an Hon. Member, Mr. WILSON said he expected to be in possession of the report on the subject of arterial drainage in Ireland to-morrow. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate on the subject of the bill for the government of India, Mr. BLACKETT expressed his deep conviction that the speech of the honourable baronet (Sir J. W. Hogg), able and clear as it was, had failed to shake the case which the honourable member for Manchester had made out against the Court of Direc tors. He complained of the difficulty that was expe rienced in obtaining returns from the India House, and accused the Court of Directors of being actuated by a desire to keep the house as much in the dark as possible about the affairs of India. He insisted that the house was not in possession of sufficient resources of information to be able to legislate with safety on this subject, and he therefore objected to the introduction of the bill. [LEFT SPEAKING.] LEADBEATER V. GREENWOOD. This was an action arising under similar circumstances, and, immediately after the previous case was disposed of, the record in this case was withdrawn. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 8. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The share market has been very inactive to-day, at prices about / per cent. under the quo tations of yesterday.

SERIOUS MisTlKE.—Yesterday morning a serious mischance, which is most likely to terminate fatally, happened to a man named Frederick Howlett, a car penter, who resided at Mary-street, Hampstead-road. He was at a gentleman's house at Paddington, when one of his fellow workmen told him that he had found a bottle of Old Tom in a cupboard. Howlett went, and finding it so labelled, took a hearty draught, when he instantly fell down, it being nitric acid, which had been emptied into a gin bottle and accidentelly left in the cupboard. Without loss of time he was taken to Albert-ward, St. Mary's Hospital, where the stomach pump was applied and antidotes were administered, but the unfortunate man now lies in a most precarious state. A VOLUMINOUS PROTEST.—At a late anti-slavery dinner in Connecticut, the address of the women of Eng land to those in America was piled on the table with the 26 folio volumes of signatures. One journal says --" It formed a pyramid as sublime, if not as high, as that to Cheops. WEDDING DIVINATION.—Being lately present on the occasion of a wedding at a town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, I was witness to the following custom, which seems to take rank as a genuine scrap of folk-lore. On the bride alighting from her carriage at her father's door, a plate covered with morsels of bride's cake was flung from a window of the second storey upon the heads of the crowd congregated in the street below ; and the divination, I was told, consists in observing the fate 1 which attends its downfall. If it reach the ground in safety, without being broken, the omen is a most unfa- 1 vourable one. If, on the other hand, the plate be shat tered to pieces, and the better, the auspices are looked 1 upon as most iappy.—Notes and Queries. A young man of about thirty, dressed in seedy black, was yesterday placed at the bar of the Tri bunal of Correctional Police to answer the charge of vagabondage. His appearance was strange—his face was pale and without expression, and his hair was so long that it fell on his shoulders, and at times covered his face. The President asked him his name and profession ; but he gave no answer ; and as it was intimated that he was a &adman, an interpreter was called. He was then questioned through the in terpreter in English : " What is your name ?" " Donald Ross." " Where were you born ?" "In the parish of Edderton in Scotland." What is your profes sion ?" " I have noother profession than to profess Christ." " Have you any papers to show who you are ?" " I have not ; in my religion we must go by the grace of God." " Have you been long in France ?" " I disembarked at Calais on the 26th January." "What did you come to France for ?" "To preach my religion." "And what is your religion ?" " I follow the commands of my Great Father God and am only respon sible to him." " How have you lived since your arrival in France ?" " On the charity of the rich." "You possess no thing ?" " Almost nothing, but I have still a French far thing in my pocket." "In your own country in Scotland, how did you live ? Did you exercise any profession ? " " I was a schoolmaster in the parish of Edderton in the county of Ross." "Have you any relatives ? " "My father and mother and four brothers and sisters." " This young man," said the President, "is a forigner, and does not appear to possess has intellectual faculties. We must obtain more information respecting him, and it will be well to write to the English Embassy." The case was ordered to bo put off for a week, to afford time for applying to the Embassy. A CROWS' COURT-MARTIAL.—WeII, I have heard the crows talk to each other, and seen them plant sentries out when they seed me a watchin' of them, and once I actilly saw them hold a court martial.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSVAX EVENIN.G, 7 JUNE 0, 1853. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, ASCOT HEATH RACES.—WEDNESDAY. THE ROYAL HUNT CUP. The second day on the Heath possesses little interest for the visitors who come merely to see and be seen. Tuesday and Thursday are the great days which draw the fashionable world to Ascot. The programme of Wednesday was, however, suffi ciently attractive to the sporting circles, for whom six races were provided, the most important being the Fern hill Stakes and the Royal Hunt Cup. The Cup, which is of silver, was exhibited in the Grand Stand, and was generally admired for the tasteful simplicity of its de sign and beautiful workmanship. The form is an an tique vase, composed of interwoven branches and leaves of the vine, enclosing a ruby-coloured glass, fitting into the vase. The Cup stands on a square pedestal covered with purple velvet, on which the name of the race and the year are placed in raised letters of silver. Notwithstanding the uncommon fineness of the weather, the general attendance on the heath and in the stands was rather limited. Only a few private car riages showed on the opposite side of the course, and the booths lacked customers. Of business there was about the usual muster, and speculation was carried on briskly. The sport was abundant, and for the most part of a very superior character ; the results, however, will not exercise much influence over events to come. Catherine Hayes, the winner of the Oaks, sustained her reputation by conceding 71b. to each of her rivals and winning by a head. The pace was very moderate for the greater part of the distance. Cheddar carried off the Fernhill Stakes from Begum colt by a neck. For the Royal Hunt Cup, the Friar receiving 261bs from Pelion, won by a length. Pelion was defeated, but certainly not disgraced. Of the sixty handicapped, exactly a moiety went to the post, and a more pleasing sight has seldom been seen. As they pro ceeded along the course their colours showed like a beautiful bed of richly variegated tulips. The last race of the day, the Three-year-old Triennial, was remarkable for an extraordinary contretempts. Just as the signal was given to start, the two favourites, Sit tingbourne and The Reiver, got up a very pretty quarrel between them, and at last Sittingbourne was left at the post. The old adage touching the ill wind was unex pectedly verified by the well-pleased fielders. The races were decided as follows : SWEEPSTAKES of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft., for 3-yrs-old ; golts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 31b ; the winner to be sold for 400 sovs. if demanded, &c.

Kohinoor made play at a moderate pace to the Stand, where the favourite took the lead, but was im mediately challenged by Mayfair, who was defeated after a close set-to by a head. A length and a half between second and third. FERNHILL STAKES of 15 says. each, 5 ft., with 50 added ; for 2-yr-olds, 7st ; and three, 9st ; fillies and geldings allowed 31b ; to start at the Cup Course post, and ran in; about half a mile.

Puritan, Hobbie Noble, Surprise, Corybantes, and Hambletonian lay in front to the half mile post, where Puritan, who held a slight lead, dropped back. Ham bletonian went on with the running, the others lying well together to the stand railings, where Hambletonian died away. The Friar then came out, followed by Pelion and Corybantes, who made a good effort, but the Friar ran in, a clever winner by a length the second beating the third the same distance. Kiteflyer, Father Thames, and Surprise were the next three ; the others scattered at wide intervals. The rider of Surprise was one lb. short of weight. FIRST YEAR Of the FIFTH ASCOT TRIENNIAL STAKES of 10 sovs. each, with 100 added, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b ; the second to receive 50 sovs. out of the stakes. T.Y.C.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Meteora, 7to 4 agst Glenstrae, Bto 1 agst any other. Punch Box, Sister to Filius, and Glenstrae jumped off simultaneously and ran in front to the stand, where Bribery and Meteora shot past them, the former winning by a length, the second beat ing the third the same distance. Punch Box was fourth, Naomi fifth, and Winkfield sixth.

Just as the flag was dropped Sittingbourne and the Reiver flew open-mouthed at each other, and the former was left at the post. The Reiver, after some delay, fol lowed the others in vain pursuit. Nutpecker led to the Stand where he was passed by Filbert, who won by eight lengths. The Reiver pulled up at the Stand. Much dissatisfaction was expressed, but after hearing evidence the stewards decided it was a start. LATEST BETTING ON THE COURSE.

Downes, Com mander, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from the West India station. She sailed on the 12th ult. from Barbadoes with Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, 9 officers, 233 men, 12 women, and 26 children of the 34th Regi ment, who will be transshipped to the Simoom steam troopship for conveyance to Sunderland. The Calypso, 20, Captain Forbes, sailed on the 11th of May on a cruise. The Megwra steam troopship, Commander Johnson, sailed on the 12th of May for St. Lucia ; she arrived at Barbadoes on the 11th from St. Vincent's, and reports the yellow fever raging at that place fear fully, having broken out afresh. Six men of the 30th Regiment died before her sailing. The Buzzard, 6, steam sloop, Commander Dobbie, and Medea, 6, steamsloop, Commander Bailey, were cruising off Havannah for the suppression of the slave trade on the 15th of April. The Devastation, 6, steam-sloop, Commander C. Y. Campbell, had also been cruising off Cuba up to that time, but joined the Admiral at Bermuda on the 24th. The Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Wilson, and the Espiegle, 12, Commander Hancock—the former from the West Indies on her way to England, and the latter from England—arrived at Bermuda on the 7th of May, just as the Cumberland, 72, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., was sailing for Halifax, which caused the flag-ship to remain until next morning (the Bth), when she was towed out by the Devastation, which accompanied the flag until within a short distance of Halifax, towing her through calms for a considerable part of the passage. The Admiral arrived at Halifax on the 16th ult., and the Devastation proceeded to Sydney, Cape Breton, for coals, prior to leaving for Newfound land with the bishop f that diocese. The Vestal, 20, Captain C. B. Hamilton, had arrived at Halifax, sickly, from the West Indies, and Captain Hamilton had ob tained permission to invalid home. The Progress, freight-ship, with the left wing of the 34th on board, which sailed 33 hours before the Poictiers, also arrived at Spithead this afternoon. The Hecla, 6, advanced paddle-sloop, was put in com mission pro tern. this morning, and taken to Spithead. She will convey troops from Cowes to Southampton to morrow. The Simoom, 16, steam troop-ship, Captain Smith, after landing the 34th Regiment at their destination, will return to Spithead. The Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Smith, will be brought into the angle dock to have her bottom exa mined as soon as the Hogue, 56, screw guard-ship, Cap tain Ramsay, comes out. The Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, _Captain O'Cal .. laghan, has received her new boilers, and is ready to ham out of the steam basin to receive her crew and report ready for sea. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 8. His Swedish Majesty's frigate Eugenie, 40, Captain Virgin, arrived this morning. She left Europe in Octo ber, 1851, and touching at Rio Janeiro and La Plata, passed through the Straits of Magellan in February, 1852. She called at Valparaiso, and left Callao in March, and, sailing circuitously through the Pacific, visited the Galla,pa , os, Panama, the Sandwich Islands, San Francisco, Otaheite, the Friendly Islands, and Syd ney. Her course was then directed into the Indian Ocean, and from Australia she went to the Carolinas and the Ladrones, Canton, Manilla, Singapore ) Batavia, and the Mauritius. She left the Cape of Good Hope on the 20th of April, one day before the last mail packet, the Bosphorus, Captain Benson, and sailed from St. Helena on the 4th of May, four days after her. The Eugenie has thus accomplished a voyage round the world. Her crew consisted of 340 hands, of whom two have died of fever, and one by a fall from the rigging, and two have deserted, during her absence, Their condition and the stale of the ship reflect great credit upon the Swedish navy. A number of the men have been suffer ing from partial blindness by night, but this affliction has diminished as they approached a more northerly latitude. The blindness is attributed to the effects of the sun in the burning climates through which the ship has passed. After anchoring in the Sound the Eugenie fired a Royal salute, which was acknowledged by the batteries on the Citadel. She then complimented the flag of Port Admiral Sir John Ommanney, and was an swered by the Impregnable, 104, Captain A. Lowe, in Hamoaze. His Netherlands Majesty's steam-ship of war Arjuno left the Cape, homeward bound, on the 20th of April. The Indiaman Trafalgar, from Calcutta, which sailed from the Cape on the 19th of April, touched at St. Helena, and left that island on the 3d of May for London. The Eugdnie spoke on the 3d of April, lat. 34 . 30 S., long. 25 . 45 E., the Danish brig Christian, Captain Schow ; 28th May, lat. 87 . 30 N., long. 34.45 W., Eng lish barque Kezia, first distinguishing pennant, 6,582 ; and the Swedish brig Balder, from Samarang, for Fal mouth ; June 6, lat. 48 . 30 N., long. 9 . 0 W., English frigate-rigged ship A.Z., second distinguishing pennant, 6,078. Yesterday her Majesty's screw steam-ship St. Jean D'Acre received the lower rigging over her mast-head, and the Sybille received her masts. The James Watt screw steam-ship was placed in dock on Tuesday, to be coppered. Off Plymouth, on Saturday, the barque Henrietta Sophia, Captain Laird, of and from London, for Ade laide—all well ; on Sunday, the King William, Adams, from Leith, for Oporto ; same day, near Start Point, the ship Emilie, Capt. H. Gundersen, from Norway, with passengers ; and the Prussian brig Titania, front New- I castle, for Rio Janeiro. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain Byam Martin. —The admiral of the fleet, Sir Bvam Martin, accom panied by his son, Rear Admiral Martin, have visited the Duke to-day at Spithead. It is rather an interesting fact, and one that may never occur again, that the oldest admiral and the youngest rear admiral should be at the same time father and son. We neglected to state in our notice of yesterday's trial that a very considerable im provement has taken place by the introduction of a " telegraphic communication " from the poop to the en gine-room. The manifest advantage of this needs but little comment. Our attention was drawn to this im portant matter at the time, as we had been accustomed to the usual commands of "stop her," "go ahead," &c.; now, by this admirable introduction, all noise is dispensed with, a table or index of figures appears on the top rail of the poop, where the master should be stationed, and he is so enabled to work his orders to the "regions below." The service is indebted to Captain Crispin for this valuable improvement, and we believe its success was determined on board her Majesty's yacht the Vic toria and Albert. The Duke has received her lower deck guns to-day, and is "getting into trim." Her Majesty's yacht. Victoria and Albert, will have a camera obscura fitted in the rotunda, to enable her Ma jesty to take sketches of the various beautiful lakes in Ireland and Scotland. It is well known that her. Ma jesty and the Prince excel in this beautiful art. WOOLWICH JUNE 8. APPOINTMENTS. Lieut. Hon. Arthur Hay, mate of 1852, and pro moted by Vice-Admiral Sir G. F.

HIGH ENTERTAINMENT.—The most expensive theatre in London is that of St. Stephen's ; for you pay more for a seat in that house than in any other, and stand a great chance of losing your place after all.—Punch. M U.RDE, ,EBONE. Yesterday Mr. Wakley, attended by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, resumed and concluded a very lenthened inquiry, at the Pitt's Head, Henry-street, Portland town, Marylebone, into the death of Mary Mead, aged 49, which resulted from the brutal violence of Francis Mead, her husband, a shoemaker. The inquiry excited the deepest interest, and the court and its neighbour hood were crowded with persons anxiously awaiting the verdict of the jury. The accused, who had been out on bail, was placed close to the witnesses, so that he might hear their evidence, and if he pleased, cross-examine them. He is a strong, well-built man, rather repulsive in countenance, and club-footed. He seemed wholly ignorant of his critical position. Hannah Gray deposed that she lived in the same house, 20, Henry-street, with deceased, and in the room above hers. Between eleven and twelve on Saturday night she was startled by cries and a great noise in deceased's room. Upon going to the lobby she heard deceased's little boy exclaim, " Oh, father, father, don't ; you have killed my mother." As the cries and noise continued, witness attempted to enter the room, but could not, as the door of deceased's room was forced against her. After some time she effected an entrance, when she found her lying stretched on the floor, and her husband standing over her. After using the most disgusting language towards deceased, he exclaimed, I'll give you something to holloa at." He then caught her by the hair of the head, and flinging her across some chairs on the bed, said, " Go there, you , and lie there with your child." Witness then left the room through fear, and went to her own. Soon afterwards she heard more screams from deceased's room ; but as they were fellow lodgers, witness did not further interfere in the matter. She did not afterwards see deceased until Monday, when, hearing that she was unwell, she visited her, and found her very ill in bed. Her face was covered with bruises, and her eyes were so swollen that she could scarcely see witness. She died the same night. Deceased did not complain to witness of ill-usage on the night in question, but when ill-used on former occasions she was afraid to cry out, or call for help. The husband was the worse for liquor on Saturday night. The Coroner severely censured the witness for not having called in the police when she saw the deceased so brutally treated. The witness replied that she did not consider it her business to interfere with other people's affairs. Emma Richardson, another fellow-lodger with de ceased, deposed that on Sunday, hearing that deceased was ill, she went to her room, where she found her suf fering severely from ill-usage. As she had no one to attend her, witness sent for a surgeon, and remained with her till her death on Monday night. When witness asked her how she got her injuries, deceased scarcely answered, and only muttered that she got a fall. Mr. Duckworth Nelson, surgeon, 48, Acacia road, was called to attend deceased on the evening of Sunday week, when he found her suffering from violence. Two ribs on the left side were fractured. Her face, head, and arms were greatly bruised and swollen. He deemed her case hopeless, as he found that the fractured ribs had penetrated her lungs. He did all that skill and ex perience could suggest to save life, but in vain, as she died the following night. Upon making a post mortent examination he found, as he had anticipated, inflamma tion of the lungs, produced by the fractured ribs pene trating them, and which caused death. Witness could not say what was the nature of the violence used towards deceased, but it was of a most frightful character, as the bruised condition of deceased's body evidenced. Thomas Burke, deceased's brother, who was deeply affected, stated that on Monday his sister sent for him, and that upon entering her room he found very ill, her face blackened from injuries, and eyes so swollen and closed from the same cause that she could not see him ; but upon recognizing his voice, she cried out, "I'm glad you have come, for I'm dying." She said that she had fallen down, but said nothing about her husband's ill-usage. Francis Mead, aged 14, deceased's son, who gave his evidence with great reluctance and considerable fear of his father's displeasure, said that he returned home about half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night week, and found his father abusing deceased for having otherwise spent money which he had given her to buy linen for the baby. Deceased denied that she had done so. Upon which his father struck her in the face, knocked her down, and then kicked her several times in the left side. While his father was ill-treating deceased, he muttered something in Irish, which witness did not understand. After she was beaten his mother could not walk, and had to support herself by holding something. Before that she appeared in her usual health, and could work. She was of a weakly constitution, and had been a patient of the dispensary some months. Witness and his father went to bed, leaving his mother crawling about the floor. About half-past three the following morning he awoke, and found his father bathing de ceased's temples. After placing her on the bed his father went for a doctor, and fetched Mr. Smale from the dispensary. By the Coroner—While his father was beating de ceased she exclaimed, "Oh ! Francis, don't hit me any more." Witness also said, "Father, don't hit my mo ther any more ; she is killed." Witness did not recol lect his father taking deceased by the hair of the head and throwing her on the bed. He remembered Mrs. Gray looking into the room while his father was beating his mother. When his father dragged deceased to bed the following morning, she exclaimed, "Oh ! Francis ! I cannot walk, you have beaten me so dreadfully." On Sunday morning witness's father told him that his mo ther met with her injuries by falling down stairs the pre vious night. His father, when he beat deceased, was evidently not sober. Witness had seen his father beat his mother on other occasions, but never heard him threaten her. Mary Wynn, an acquaintance of deceased, said that she visited her on Monday, when she saw her husband sitting at deceased's bed-side. Witness asked how she met with the injuries. The husband replied that on Saturday night his wife had been drinking, and that on running away from him she fell down stairs and fractured her ribs. He then asked deceased if she wished to say anything in witness's presence. She replied, " What do you wish me to say ? I forgive you, and may the Lord forgive you. I have nothing to say. I die in peace." After a pause she further said, " Francis, I am dying ; take care of my children, and don't beat Frank." She then requested to see her brother, whom she most affectionately embraced, and in about an hour after wards died. Anne Gill and Joseph Tilley, lodgers in the same house with deceased, heard, on the night in question, the noise in Mead's room, but took no notice of it, as they ima gined that he was beating his son. Several other witnesses corroborated the above. Mr. Nelson recalled ; The kicks spoken of by de ceased's son were sufficient to produce the fatal injuries. Mr. G. E. Smale, of the Free Dispensary, gave a si milar opinion respecting the effects of those kicks. The Coroner summed up at considerable length and with great clearness, commenting upon the nature of the evidence given, and pointing out where it was in favour of, and where it told against the accused. Having then drawn the distinction between manslaughter and mur der, and having told the jury that it would be their duty to return a verdict either of accidental death or man slaughter, the learned coroner denounced Mead's treat ment of his wife as disgraceful, unmanly, and brutal in the extreme. The jury retired, and after a few minutes' deliberation returned into court with a verdict of " Manslaughter against Francis Mead." The Coroner accordingly made out the prisoner's com mittal to Newgate, which he handed to Sergeant Brand, 7 S, whom he also bound over as prosecutor at the next Central Criminal Court. So strong was the feeling against the wretched prisoner that he had to be escorted by a posse of police constables to the cab that conveyed him to Newgate, and which drove off amidst the yells and hootings of upwards of 300 persons. THE WEAVERS OF SPITALFIELDS.— This large dis trict, inhabited by silk weavers, is but little known, except to those whose business is connected with the place ; it has, however, remarkable features, and is well worthy of a visit. Some of the streets are composed of well-built houses from three to four stories high, having, in the upper rooms, glazed win dows extending the whole length of the houses, which gives them a peculiar appearance. The general aspect of the neighbourhood is cleaner, and less squalid than the other regions of the " East," and the inhabitants are also better clad and neater in their appearance. The weavers are mostly of French descent, their fore fathers having been driven to London by religious per secution about 150 years since, and it is curious to note how much they have to the present day preserved the national style and peculiarities. There is an immense number of them, and they are mostly remarkable for intelligence. They suffer much privation, struggling to some extent as they do against machinery elsewhere. In Spital-square, which is close to Bishopsgate-street, the master-weavers live. Leading from this are streets, black and dilapidated, which are becoming more and more crowded in consequence of the removal of houses by the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany, who have purchased part of the neighbour- hood. In other districts owners of houses will not per mit the looms to be set up. If this should aid in leading some of the weavers to seek other employment it would be fortunate : their present condition is miserable, nor is there any prospect of improvement. Amongst the prin cipal streets thus occupied, are Grey Eagle-street, Black Eagle-street, Pearl-street, Phoenix-street, and Hope street. The Spitalfields weavers are fond of flowers, and few houses, even of the poorest, are destitute of a bit of "greenery ;" they complain that they have now short time for the healthful recreation of their gardens ; still, however, some of them do a little, and many rear pet pigeons and canaries. The Spitalfields weavers are greatly attached to their own neighbourhood, and many old men are known not to have travelled during their long lives farther than King's-crois on the one side, and London-bridge on the other. The weavers, like the Northumbrian miners and other class workers, almost invariably intermarry with each other. Spital fields weavers' sons have constantly intermarried with Spitalfields weavers' daughters, and thus to the present day have preserved the peculiarities to which we have alluded. — The Builder. [ADVERTISEMENT.]--liolloway's Ointment and Pills, excellent Remedies for the Cure of Bronchitis and Ulce rated Sore Throats.—Extract of a letter from Mr. James Downing, of Paris-street, Exeter, dated March 30, 1853.—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir, Your oint ment and pills have effected upon me a perfect cure of a dreadfully diseased throat, arising from cold, which ul timately terminated in bronchitis. The medical aid I received was unable to combat with the disease, and I was rapidly sinking under its influence. At this stage I had recourse to your medicines, which in a few hours relieved me, and I am happy to inform you, that in less than a fortnight I was entirely cured by them."— Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish ment, 244, strand, London, DUBLIN UN, 'O2IIb7SSION. The following is a summary of the chief recommenda. tions which the Commissioners have submitted to her Majesty, first stating those which can be carried out by Royal statute, arid afterwards those which would require the intervention of Parliament :- "1. That the Royal statutes of the college should undergo a complete revision, so as to give an amended code, framed on the plan of classified legislation which we have described. " 2. That the University Senate should be abolished, and that any powers intrusted to the office of Vice-Chan ce_lor, in addition to his powers as Visitor, should be defined by Royal statute, and not by decrees of the Pro vost and Senior Fellows. " 3. That no professorship should be held by a Senior Fellow. "4. That the Board should be empowered, with the con sent of the Visitors, to vary the subjects prescribed for the Fellowship examination, and to regulate the mode in which , the examination should be conducted ; and that any Junior Fellow who holds a professorship may be summoned to examine in the subject of his professorship. " 5. That the statutable ground of preference, in case of equality of answering at the Fellowship examination, should be abolished ' • that each vacancy should be filled by ' a distinct vote • and that the candidate Fellows elected at the same time should take rank according to merit. "6. That the fees payable to Tutor Fellows by their pupils should be divided into four parts ; that one-fourth should be payable to each tutor by his own pupils, and that the other three-fourths should be thrown into a com mon fund, to be distributed. on a system to be settled by the Board and Visitors, for the endowment of professor ships, lectureships, and examinerships, to which Junior Fellows should be alone eligible ; and that the power of appointing tutors should be vested in the Provost and Senior Fellows. " 7. That the general obligatioss to enter holy orders now imposed on Fellows should be aboL shed, but that it should be required that at least four of the Senior Fellows should be in holy orders. " 8. That ex-Fellows should be eligible to the Regius Professorship of Divinity. " 9. That a number of septennial divinity fellowships should be established ; one, and only one, being elected at an examination in the month of October in every year, the course for examination being the same as that for the existing fellowships, with the exception of the mathema tical and physical courses, for which a course in divinity should be substituted. " That graduates of the Queen's University, who are recommended by the bishop in whose diocese the Queen's College where they have been educated is situate, should have an opportunity of pursuing theological studies in the divinity school of the London University, and should be entitled to receive such certificate as the Board might think proper to give of their having completed the divinity course. " 11. With a view to the more general and efficient cul tivation of the modern languages, we submit to your Ma jesty that the power of appointing to the Queen's profes sorships of French and German and of Spanish and Italian might be entirely delegated to the Provost and Senior Fellows, and that the study of one modern language, at least, should be made compulsory on all candidates for the degree of bachelor of arts. " 12. We are of opinion that the preference now given by the college statutes, in case of equal answering at the scholarship examination, to those who have been educated in Dublin schools, or born in counties where the college has property, should be abolished. " 13. That power should be given to the Board and Visitors to appoint the subjects for the scholarship exa mination, and to vary the duration of scholarships, but that not less than 70 should be always maintained at the expense of the college, and that the Board should have power to select the examiners for scholarship. " 14. That a reasosable number of the exhibitions should be increased in value, aid given in the same manner as the college scholarships, but Without making the holders of them members of the corporation ; and that they should be open to persons of all religious denominations. " 15. That no distinction should be made between noble men, fellow commoners, and pensioners, with respect to the course of education required for the degree of bachelor of arts. " 16. That the formal exercise now required for the different degrees should be discontinued, and that arrange ments should be made for making the higher degrees real tests of merit. " 17. That the fees now charged on the different degree s should be abolished, and that they should be granted without expense, except the degree of master of arts, for which a payment should be made to the funds of the college. " 18. That the imposition of oaths and declarations to obey the college statutes should be discontinued, and that the other college oaths should be repealed, or considerably reduced in number. " 19. That all students who do not reside in college or with their relatives should be required, when resident in Dublin, to live in licensed halls or lodging-houses, and that officers of the college should be appointed to have charge over their discipline and conduct. " 20. That the provisions of the college statutes direct. ing the imposition of fines for neglect of duties should be repealed. " 21. That the provisions of the Royal statutes limiting the use of the library to graduates should be repealed ; and that full power of granting admission to the library should be conferred on the Provost and Senior Fellows. " 22. That the Auditor of the college should be ap pointed by the Visitors, and that an audited balance sheet and statement of the income and expenditure of the college should be published annually. " 23. That the duties now performed by the Bursar should be divided into two parts, and that an agent should be appointed to manage the college estates, under the di rection of the Board, the Bursar, still acting as cashier of the college, and both officers being paid by salary. " 24. That, unless new duties be attached to the offices of Senior and Junior Troctor, these offices should be aboli shed, and that the other officers now paid either wholly or in part by fees should be paid by salaries in proportion to the services performed by them. " 25. That the existing arrangements with respect to non-tutor fellowships should be altered, and that on the creation of septennial fellowships provision should be made for a gradual reduction in the number of the junior fellow. ships created by the Royal statute of 1840. The remaining recommendations relate to the repeal of acts of Parliament, the remission of taxation, and the granting of public money. But they have appeared to us to be so intimately connected with the subjects of our inquiries that we have not thought it out of place to in clude them in our recommendations. " 26. That the power of admission to the Bar in Ireland should be entirely intrusted to the benchers of the King's Inns, and that the statute by which law students are re quired to attend at the Inns of Court in England should be repealed. " 27. That the stamp duty on articles of apprenticeship to an attorney or solicitor should be remitted or reduced in favour of those who have incurred the expense of a University education. "28. That the provisions of the School of Physic Act, by which Roman Catholics are excluded from the profes sorships of anatomy, chemistry, and botany, should be repealed. 29. That the provisions of the School of Physic Act, with respect to clinical education, the election of the King's professors, and the distribution of the funds of Sir Patrick Dun's estate, should be reconsidered. " 30. That the stamp duty now levied on matriculations, on degrees, and on certificates of degrees, should be re mitted. "31. That the subjects of foreign States should be allowed to obtain degrees without taking any oaths or making any declarations. " 32. That the Copyright Act should be so modified as to give the library of Trinity College the same facilities as the British Museum for obtaining the books to which the college is entitled under its provisions. " 33. That if the admission of the public to the college library were, as we suggest, placed on a more liberal basis, the expense of any consequent increase in the number of attendants required might properly be defrayed by a pub lic grant, and that half the expense of a convenient and useful catalogue of the books and manuscripts, if completed without delay, might also be defrayed by a public grant, the other half of the expense being defrayed from the funds of the college. "34. That the drawback now allowed on the paper used in publishing certain works at the University press might be extended to all educational works published by the University." CRICKET.

As we have not yet heard full particulars, we merely give the fact as it came to us, but we expect shortly to be in possession of all the circumstances, when we will have something to say on the subject.—D own Recorder. ORCHARD PROSPECTS.—The orchards every where around us, says the Taunton Courier, are uncommonly profuse of blossoms, and so well set, that the retention by the apple and pear-trees of nine-tenths of the floral gaieties, to the period of fruitage, seems probable. Frosts may, however, interpose their destructive influ ence, as frequently has happened at a still more ad vanced period of the year. A large cider supply may, nevertheless, be confidently expected.
