INTO)V EXHIBITING, AT THE F GYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY , the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION' of ABORI GINES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN er BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology kas only beets obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa —Interesting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our port ; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so much has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country bordering the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 miles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle-tual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • sewed :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on hoard an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. It. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa. For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans, see Professor Leichtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

One of those accidents or fatalities against which the only security is the incessant vigilance of well-trained, skilful officers, occurred on the Edinburgh and Granton line, betwixt three and four o'clock on Friday last. Providentially no lives were lost, though three individuals were more or less injured ; but the warning thus given to the company promises once and for all to prevent any similar casualty. The quarter-past three o'clock down train, consisting of three carriages, had reached the Scotland-street station, where it stood awaiting to be attached to the locomotive to proceed to Granton. We chanced to be present at the time, and observed one of the guards on the top of the train arranging the luggage; suddenly a rumbling noise was heard in the tunnel, which waxed louder and louder, denoting the quick approach of a carriage; the above guard looked round for a moment in the direction of the tunnel, and then hastened from the top of the carriage, but with such lightning rapidity did the carriage descend the tunnel, that the guard almost instantly disap peared from our sight betwixt the wreck of the last carriage of the train, which on being struck was dashed to fragments, and with the three passengers in side thrown on the platform. The two remaining car riages of the train were propelled forward, but were uninjured. It was found that the break truck which precedes the trains whilst descending the tunnels had, while in the course of adjustment to the succeeding train at Canal-street, been allowed to slip on to the in cline ; the breaksman was In it at the time, and finding the truck commencing to descend, he applied himself to the break, but turned the screw the wrong way, so that instead of checking, he opened out the motion. Pro bably he imagined that the break was ineffectual, but at all events be lost his presence of mind, and leaped from the truck sustaining some injury from the shock. The truck, which weighs about seven tons, being thus left uncontrolled, rolled down the tunnel with an increasing velocity, and must have attained the rate of at least sixty miles an hour when we saw it issue forth at the Scotland street end of the tunnel, and the next instant dash into the train. The line was soon cleared, and working as usual in the course of an hour from the collision. A medical gentle man. residing in Scotland-street, was immediately in attendance, and, along with another surgeon, who was was conveyed a l s o promptly on the sp ot, lent the re q uisite ai d to the sufferers, one of who m was severel y cut and contuse d , andho severely m e i after in h aurhurt; ; havingcarriage . bu t w h his s areTwh wounds happy a remainingn p d p s y to dressed, le ar two were not so n that all are in a fair way of recovery. It is, therefore, so far satisfac tory, that we have no fatal case to record, and we trust nothing farther will occur to shake the confidence in this line, the general arrangements of which, with the excep tion of this untoward occurrence, have been anxiously MAY 27, 1847. On Tuesday Dr. Lynch, accompanied by several of the most respectable inhbitants of the Ward of Farriogdon Without, waited non the Lord Mayor, to represent to his Lordship the ismediate necessity which existed for the adoption of neasures to prevent the spread of diseases engendered It want of ventilation and water, and the enormous inflix of Irish poor into the city of London. I take the liberty to addrees you, Lordship (said Dr. Lynch) upon a subject in which I know you take a most lively interest. I have tlas honour to be accom panied by the churchwardens of St. 3ride's, St. Dun stan's, and other parishes in the ward, ill of whom have personally inspected the dwellings of tee poor, and have made presentments to the Court of Atlermen, directing attention to the nui s a nces w hi c h a b oun d i n th e courts and alleys in whi c h th e poor res id e. Th ey have felt it their duty to w a it u p on you to state a f ew me lancholy facts, and to so li c it your assistance. Of all the thirty six metropolit an di s t r i cts , t h e W ar d o f Parringdon Without is perhaps the wo rs t as t o it s narrow localities. The houses are built b ac k to haekal'itiestaircni-c;;:iiiia cornm - The priviee aeaptPots of the most horrible descrip tion, :hich poison the air and pollute the dwellings of the poor. In such places, where there are sewers, they become the source of disease in consequence of the want of traps and an adequate supply of water to cleanse and to facilitate the escape of pestiferous gases from the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter. In Crown-court, within a few yards of Fleet-street, the cellars of the houses are in a most revolting condition, from the overflowing of cesspools, and the accumulation of impurities of every description. In some instances we find that the dust contractors had not removed the offal from one to nine months, and that they refused to perform that duty unless they received a gratuity. We found the poor inhabitants sensible of the injury which such abominations inflicted, and heard them complain of the inadequate supply of water which visited them for no more than one hour three times a week, and which their poverty prevented them from keeping vessels in which to save it. They complained, too, of the quality of the water, confined as it was in heated rooms, and absorbing the animal exhalations and foul air. We found that the drains run under a stack of houses in stead of into the main sewer, and there is at present no power to compel the landlords to open these drains direct to the sewers, by which arrangement an essential cause of malaria and disease would be removed. The inquest of St. Sepulchre beg to state that the courts around Smithfield and the Old Bailey are undrained ; that in several of the courts there is but one privy, to which the inhabitants of both sexes and all ages resort, to the great detriment of common decency and morality ; that the houses in such places are a disgrace to the sana tory supervision of the city of London ; that the opera tion of the window-tax is seriously injurious to the poor ; that all the remonstrances of previous inquests have been neglected ; that there is no proper authority or board which understands the subject in its magnitude to be found in the city ; that in the several places the cess-pools overflow the cellars ; that in some cellars, under the privies, eight people lodged in a place of twelve feet square ; and that cow-sheds, slaughter houses, and knackers' yards, are suffered to exist in the midst of a crowded population. The gentlemen of the inquest, after enumerating other horrors, and showing that the wretched habitations are full of plague vapours, express their fear that if sultry weather supervene fever will make awful ravages amongst the poor. They find that every steamer which arrives from Ireland imports immense numbers of the poor Irish direct from Cork, where malignant typhus and dysen tery abound, and are carrying off all classes of the community. They know that these poor creatures re sort to the courts and alleys that they have been visiting on their arrival, and they apprehend that as all the elements of infection abound there, an epidemic may break out, as has occurred at Liverpool, at Manchester, and at Rochdale. It is well known that scarcity of pro vision lowers the system, and is a predisposing cause of disease. To what are these poor creatures to look for comfort, or even hope ? The inquests earnestly and confidently trust that your Lordship will aid them in adopting measures of prevention. The workhouses are beset at this moment. The West London Union has ad mitted several, and sent others to the Fever Hospitals. Bartholomew Hospital placed extra beds in the wards, but is unable to meet the evi , r. , noy it . as, lika the other hospitals, been admitting this influx of patients tor the last three weeks, and within the last three days they have been compelled to refuse admission to several appli cants. Numbers of those who have been admitted into the hospitals have died. The nurses have died, and the relieving officers have shared the same fate. In Liverpool the medical officers have been carried off in the discharge of their duties. The over -crowded rooms of the poor are filled still more densely by their wretched relations who have fled in affright from famine and fever. With such a teeming population, debilitated by privation and predisposed to fever, it is most perilous to them and to the previous residents to be exposed to the noxious in fluences which I have so inadequately discribed. We intreat your Lordship to assist us in procuring a constant supply of water, and the immediate cleansing of such places. With this view, we intreat your Lordship to name an early day for the consideration of the subject of the public health. included in the memorial of the ward. urging the corporation to a d opt sanatory measures f or th e be nefit of the poor. Th e gentlemen of the i nques t wou ld suggest to your Lord s hi p the propriety of call i ng a Com mon Council as soon as possible, to apply to P ar li amen t for a short Bill emp ower i ng the City author i t i es to en force the abolition o f cesspools, and similar nu i sances , of trap mortal andinjury ope open tot t hthe drains community,of every housecom pel which were landlordsto o into the sewer, and to appoint an inspector who would take care that this law was enforced. They indulge the hope that the Government would render every facility in the laudable endeavour to accomplish such good. The meteorological table shows that the thermometer rose on Sunday from 64 to 70 degrees in the shade. There was a corresponding increase in sickness in the last week's mortuary record. There was an excess in Lon don of ninety-eight deaths over the healthy average. In such places the labouring classes on the average do not reach twenty. two years of age, and the most simple diseases become malignant. The mortality amongst children, who are most susceptible of atmospheric influence, is double the mortality in the country. I have sent three very bad cases of fever to the hospital this morning, and in one instance the mother was in a state of insensibility. The neces sity for immediate interference is extreme. It is a mat ter of life and death. In Liverpool they have esta • blished lazerettos and appointed officers of health. Every precautionary measure which science can suggest ought to be had recourse to, to prevent the spread of could bear had such an appalling calamity as has appeared amongst us, To delay, in a moment of imminent danger, would be criminal indifference to the safety of society. The gen tlemen whom I have the honour to introduce to your Lordship will confirm the statements I have made. They have always most honourably exerted themselves in the cause of the poor, and they would join me in entreating your Lordship to give us your most valuable aid." One of the overseers of St. Bride's, a member of the deputation. said that the pestilential nuisance was much closer to the habitations of some of his acquaintances than they imagined. Although he had for some time occupied premises in Fleet-street, he ascertained that there were two houses within twenty yards of those pre mises in a state of filth which it would not actually be consistent with decency to describe. It was an extra ordinary fact, that in some localities, of the condition of which no complaint had been made, he found the abo mination as great as it was in those to which his atten tion was particularly called. Tha Corporation had, he eswhhicimhshelef, hadand was aware, extensive power, but the power which must could bear testi eedanertr.ed upon all occa sions exercised on the present occasion he did not think they possessed. A short Act was necessary to compel the landlord to construct drains to the main sewer, or to o to the whole enable Ad e a tenant n ant Hughesto make iru t g li h a e t s saidimprovementhohues m charge on y bt the yo tt, expense lheev ecroym out gmrei sast o o f an f ce t ir h l si e t first eo sf r se hnre Sewers, obexte ntc u c i built, occasion tocommunicatetftohpeeinr drains p,ow e n r ' sf i r. t — h o m t ( h r is e oe m ma r a e, i n sewer, and the Com .. missioners rendered him such valuable aid that the expense was quite inconsiderable. Dr. Lynch said there was no doubt of the disposition upon the part of the Commissioners, but they had not to the an x i ety o f thea mad by n ecessary s facilities, t h e necessary power , and it was th e wish of the war d that they should have the power.

Mr. Herapath said the dust contractors acted in a very oppressive manner to the poor. The men who were employed by the contractors were in the habit of impor tuning those who were in comfortable circumstances for the price of some beverag e while p erf orming their work; in the case of th e poor they did not importune, they demanded, and if tho demand was not complied with they refused to do their duty, The commissioners had been complained to in cases of this kind, but the con tractors replied, " We can N ow , 't help it• if we change the men we have we may get Niorse. that was a cruel and brutal oppre ss ion upon the poor, and h e t rus t e d that some alteration would be made, such, perhaps, as giving to direct the removal authority to the police of the dust. Several other gentlemen of the deputation having made additional statements confirmation of the repro ent4tiou of Dr. Piaci', The Lord Mayor said he certainly thought the public were greatly indebted to the gentlemen who had brought so important a subject before him ; and he assured them that so far as he could render any service to the cause, he should be completely at their command. He was glad to find that justice was so willingly yielded to the Commissioners of Sewers. He knew how warm they were in the great cause of sanatory regulations.; but they could not, he declared, do what was necessary, by compelling landlords to make drains from their houses to the common sewers.—(Hear, hear.)

DISMISSAL OF A LIVERPOOL PASSENGER AGENT. On Friday Patrick Gornley was summoned before Mr. Rushton, and Sir Joshua Walmsley, to answer a com plaint preferred against him of having by means of false pretences induced Daniel Harrigan to take a passage for himself, his wife, and two other females to St. John's, Newfoundland, instead of to St. John's, New Brunswick. Daniel Harrigan, a decent looking Irishman, deposed that he arrived here on the 11th of last month, from Cork, and that in two days after his arrival he went to the office of Mr. Gornley, who was a licensed passenger broker in Liverpool. There was no one with him at the time. He asked Gornley if be had a ship for St. John's, New Brunswick, and he replied that he had. He then asked the name of the vessel. and ht. upon complainant replied that his wife and two other women, who were going to America with tilicat"l:egommugsttalpqauYaitnntethp.eamssable fore he entered into any agreement. He then asked :n e a town, a l a n n e d r Gornley whether he could see the ship, to which he replied, no, — that she was at the Brunswick-dock, and that if he lost any time he would be very apt to miss his passage in her, for that in all probability, her several berths would be engaged before he came back. This conversation took place about eight o'clock in the morning of the 13th ult., and Gornley said she was going to sea at four o'clock that afternoon. Complainant told him that he should be back in a very short time, so soon as he should have gone and acquainted his wife. He then went to his wife, and returned to Gornley between nine and ten o'clock the same morning. His wife accompanied him ; and she having also ascertained that the ship was going to St. John's, New Brunswick, and that she would sail that day, paid 81. passage money for herself and her husband. Gornley, who did not give any certificate at the time, told the wife to go at once and see the two other women of her party ; and the wife having gone and brought one of the girls with her, that girl paid him 81. more for her own passage and the passage of her female companion, to St. John's, New Brunswick. Ho then wrote and handed them a certificate, which Harrigan read, and to his surprise he discovered that, instead of St. John's, New Brunswick, it mentioned that they were to be taken to St. John's, Newfoundland. He immediately told Gornley that Newfoundland was a country to which they had no desire of proceeding ; but Gornley began to laugh at him, and said that he could not go to a better place than Newfoundland ; that, after discharging there, the Sophia would go on as far as Pultwash, that then he would be within thirty-six hours' sail of St. John's, New Brunswick, and that he should be able to get there very cheaply. Finding that on the day be paid the money the vessel had sailed out of dock that very morning, he offered Gornley 30s. if he would give back the 16L which had been paid him, and permit him to go where he liked. But Gornley refused this offer, and Harrigan found himself deceived. The vessel having sailed, as he had said, met with an accident and turned back, and then, sooner than lose his money and passage altogether, and being unable to see Gornley, although he called at his office several times, he and the three females went on board, and set sail on the 18th ult. When she had been out a few days she was dismasted, and was driven into Belfast, and there, when all his money had been run out, and moat of his clothes destroyed on board, he was obliged to leave the vessel and come over to Liver pool to obtain justice. In cross-examination by Mr. Owen, he admitted that the captain had given him lib. of biscuit a-day, but he added that it was very bad biscuit. He also admitted that himself and his wife had received the sum of 31. at Belfast, from some parties belonging to the vessel. Lieutenant Hodder, R. N., the government emigration agent at Liverpool, deposed that previous to the original sailing of the Sophia a number of passengers having dis covered the deception which had been practised upon them, came to his office to complain. Their complaint was that they had taken a passage for St. John's, New Brunswick, and that it turned out they had shipped for St. John's Newfoundland. He accordingly wrote a note to Gornley, desiring him under the circumstances to re turn the money, and telling him that otherwise no pains should be spared to punish him. Gornley came to the office. vesv , vary ctrongly r.• nnn:t r rrith flit his p I ;le, tices, and returned the money in that case to the parties. He (the lieutenant) had the other passengers duly in formed of the destination of the vessel, and the conse quence was that when they learned they were going to Newfoundland instead of New Brunswick, they came to him in lots with their complaints. The reason, however, that he could not interfere was, because the vessel had cleared the Custom-house with 29 passengers-30 pas sengers being the lowest number of which the law takes cognizance. On reaching Belfast, however, it was found that instead of 30 passengers being on board, in reality there were 50. Mr. John S. de Wolff, the owner of the Sophia, stated that he was not aware of the precise number of passen gers she had on board, but all he had got paid for were 251 adults. He was, however, aware of this, that at Belfast he was mulcted in a penalty under the Act, for the captain having had more passengers on board than the ship had cleared with. He had received 561. in all for the passengers, and where the vessel was going was 150 or 200 miles from St. John's, New Brunswick. Mr. Rushton having recapitulated the facts of the case and said an alteration was about to be made in the law, which would bring all vessels, no matter what the num ber of the passengers might be, under the cognizance of Lieut. Hodder and the authorities, proceeded to observe upon the fact that in this case the total number of fifty passengers had by some one been surreptitiously shipped. This was not only a great fraud upon Government, but the vessel had been cleared with twenty nine pas sengers, for the obvious purpose of preventing the source of the fraud from being arrived at. The case was altogether a most painful one. More calamitous consequences than those likoly to befal the poor passengers themselves could hardly be conceived; for, instead of going to a land where their friends and relatives were waiting to receive them, they were about to be sent to another country where they had neither friends nor relatives, and thus pauperism would be entailed upon them, and it might be death it self. Gornley, he said, must pay a penalty of 101.. for , feit his licence, and never again practice as a passenger broker in Liverpool ; and he trusted that this would be a warning to persons acting in Gornley's situation, and there were very few such he was happy to believe ; and also a warning to the emigrants, whenever the appear ance even of fraud was attempted, to go to Lieutenant Hodder or the magistrates, and they would obtain in stant redress. The case was of the utmost importance, in more points of view than ono ; for no fewer than 75,000 emigrants had sailed from Liverpool in the pre sent year. The judgment seemed to give the greatest satis faction to a court densely crowded at the time with emi grants and parties interested in the affecting tale told by Harrigan and his friends.—Liverpool Journal. THE CASE OF INFANTICIDE IN COVENT- G ARDEN. The adjourned inquiry into this very mysterious and singular case was resumed yesterday before Mr. Bed ford, the coroner for Westminster, at the York Hotel, Upper Wellington-street. Mr. Moseley again attended on behalf of the parish authorities, and Mr. Wolff was present to watch the case for his client, the person already in custody. The party alluded to at the late inquiry as " Harry Hartnell " entered the inquest room before the com mencement of the proceedings, accompanied by several friends. Mr. Mayhew,:of Carey-street, attended as his legal ad viser. eevniTgdahegneeefiderwsbtasy giv en witrss aesc s . e c x tl a e m v ined was Sarah Barker. Her may be very briefly dgrea r length, but . the main facts i l be a e n d.t d toh Sh e d acid c 1 She ahe saw he hadbeen r about six weeks before her confinemreysn -nurse her infant in the interval frequently, and took occasion to ask her once whether the baby-linen and other requisites were ready. Mrs. Cleveland said she had not obtained them, because she was not sure t hat the child would live . She gave no reason for saying the child would not live. About a week before her confinement, on being again questioned by witness on the subject, Mrs. Cleveland gave her money to procure two or three articles of child bed linen. Witness was sent for on Wednesday last to attend Mrs. Cleveland, and on going to the house, 9, Wellington-street, met a gentleman, who said that Mrs. Cleveland was very bad, but that he did not think she would be confined before the next day. (The wit ness here pointed out " Harry Hartnell' as the party alluded to.) Hartnell, on being referred to, here said that he had been summoned to attend the inquest as a witness, and if it suited the coroner's convenience he should be glad to give his evidence as early as possible, as he had an important engagement to attend to elsewhere. The CORONER said he would take his evidence after that of the next witness. The witness Barker than went on to describe that Mrs. Cleveland was confined on the Wednesday after and - noon; that the baby was taken away by witness, brought again to Wellington-street at Mrs. Cleveland's request the next morning ; that it was left in the bed room with its mother for a gentleman to see it, who would not enter the room while witness was present, as Mrs. Cleveland said that on taking the infant from the bed, after having left it with its mother two hours, it appeared greatly altered for the worse ; that 'witness took it home the same night, and again brought it to Wellington-street on Friday by direction of its mother ; that it was left with her for two hours or more, and that yiitnels going upstairs at the expiration of that time, PRICE SD. to return home with the child, she found it dead. Wit ness burst into tears, and Mrs. Cleveland inquired what was the matter ? Witness said the child was dead. Mrs. Cleveland replied, "You don't say so ?" A doctor was immediately sent for. A witness named Tester was next called. He proved haring seen the party in custody, known as " leave the house, No. 9, Wellington-street, between four and five o'clock on Friday afternoon. The CORONER here said he was ready to take Mr. Hartnell's evidence if he had any to otter; but he thought it right to caution him, before being sworn, that he might decline making any statement calculated to criminate himself if he chose to do so. Hartnell, having consulted with his legal adviser, said, after the Coroner's observation, he should decline making any statement. The CORONER—Then I understand you to claim the privilege, because an opposite course may tend to crimi nate you ? Hartnell—That is so. The CORONER—Then I think the police should at once take you before the magistrate, who will deal with you as he thinks proper. This announcement appeared to cause considerable surprise to Hartnell and his friends, and as they were about leaving the room in company with Inspector Black, Mr. Mayhew, addressing the Coroner, said—Then, Sir, as far as you are concerned, you release Mr. Hart nell ? The ConoNxn (emphatically)—Oh, no; certainly not. After some further conversation, Hartnell again offered to give his evidence. The CORONER said he would take it, but the witness must recollect if he WPrn nn eft sworn . 60 rowld ho bound I,u answer every question put to him, whether the answers would criminate him or not. Again consulting with his professional adviser, Hart nell declined to give evidence, and he was removed to Bow-street, accompanied by several of his friends. A girl named Davis was next examined. She corro borated the witness Tester as to having seen the man known as " Dolly" leave the house No. 9, Wellington street, between four and five o'clock on Friday afternoon. Ellen Driscoll, servant to Mrs. Cleveland, deposed to a variety of circumstances, all tending to show that her mistress had made no preparation for the child of which ;he was about to become the mother. She had also heard her mistress say, the day before her confinement, that she thought the child would not live. At this stage of the proceedings the CORONER in quired whether Hartnell was present? Inspector Black said, he had taken the party alluded to before the magistrate as requested; but as there was no charge made against him by any person he had been at once dismissed. lie left the police-office with his friends, and he (Inspector Black) had not seen him since. The CORONER expressed his astonishment at the re sult described, and said he thought the inspector himself must have heard sufficient from the lips of Hartnell to justify his detention. The jury appeared to regret very much that Hartnell bad been suffered to depart, and several of them ex pressed themselves rather strongly on the subject. After a time the examination of the witnesses was proceeded with. _ _ Jane Johnson, a lodger at No. 9, Wellington -street, deposed to having heard Mrs. Cleveland say more than once before her confinement that she thought her child would not live, and that " she wished and hoped the little brute would die." She also said, at another time, she would not provide clothes for it, as she was sure it would not live. Police-constable Dunn, 134 F, presented a letter found on the prisoner "Dolly," addressed to Mr. Hartnell by Mrs. Cleveland. The seal had been broken by direction of his superintendent. The letter ran as follows: , "Friday, 12 o'clock. "Dear Mr. Hartnell, have this moment received a letter from Lawson. Come to me immediately.—Yours, truly, "A. L. CLEVELAND. " Mr. Hartnell, Portland-chambers, Great Titchfield-street." Mr. Lawson, being recalled, added to his former evidence as follows:—When I declined to have anything to do with the case, the man Hartnell remarked, " Oh, then, the child must be born alive; but it can be ne glected afterwards." Margaret Morgan, formerly in the service of Mrs. Cleveland, proved having heard her mistress say, about a month since, _that the child would be the ruin of her, and that " she hoped the little -- would die." On being spoken to by the witness about providing baby • linen, her mistress also said, " she hoped the little would never want any." There being no other witness to examine, The CORONER proceeded to sum up. The Learned Gentleman first read over the depositions, and after wards remarked on those points in the evidence tending to direct suspicion against certain parties. He reminded the jury that the inquiry on which they were engaged was merely a preliminary one, and that a verdict of wilful murder being returned against any party by them would only have the effect of putting the matter in train for furilletAtreestigation. After the very clear and sa tisfactory evidence given by Kr. Guthrie as to the death of the child havingbeen caused by suffocation, he thought there could be little doubt, taking all the circumstances into consideration, that the jury would feel the pro priety of sending the case before another tribunal ; and, with these remarks, ho begged of them to consider their verdict. The jury consulted together for about half an hour, and then returned into court with a verdict of " Wilful murder against Anne Cleveland and a person named Hill, alias 'Dolly.'" The Coroner immediately issued his warrant for the apprehension of Cleveland, who will, of course, at pre sent remain under the surveillance of the police at her own house. The other accused, it will be recollected, is in custody. THE TRIPLE MURDER AT MIR FIELD. The examination of the two murderers, Michae, ll.Cabe and Patrick Reid, apprehended a short time since on suspicion of being the perpetrators of this ap palling crime, took place on Saturday last, at the Court house, Dewsbury, before Mr. Joshua Ingham, chairman, and Messrs. J. B. Greenwood, John Hague, 11. W. Wickham, and E. B. Wheatley. The court was crowded during the investigation, and the excitement which the dreadful occurrence had occasioned appeared in no degree to have subsided, numerous parties remaining outside the building and in the neighbourhood during the whole of the investigation. The accused have been carefully watched since their arrest, and have been kept in separate cells. M'Cabe is stated to have mani fested considerable uneasiness and restlessness since hi., removal to the station at Dewsbury, but on his being brought into court he maintained the same calm de meanour which he preserved at his first examination before the deputy-coroner. Ile was placed in the dock in the long brown overcoat which he wore at the time he was taken into custody, and on the left arm were placed several pins, to mark the places from which had been cut pieces of cloth, for the purpose of ascertaining whe ther the marks on his clothes were or were not really those of human blood, and which were submitted to the inspec tion of Mr. West, of Leeds. Reid, who is a much younger and more athletic men, was also dressed in the dark green and buff waistcoat which he was sworn to have had on - on the morning of the murder; and on his left arm, im mediately on the round of the shoulder, and the inner part of the wrist, were similar marks placed, to denote the spots whence the cloth had been cut for the chemist's inspection. He appeared almost indifferent to the pro ceedings, and was defended by Mr. llaxby, of Dews bury, with whom he communicated but once, and that was during the evidence of the principal witnessg against him. The most impo rtant witness was Benjamin Hor ton, a hawker and d ealer in ra g s and p ots, who lived in Mah-lane, lifirfield, and who said, that as he was passing down the road leading from DPKinnell's house, by the Baptist Chapel, close to that of Mr. Wraith, he acciden tally turned his head, and he then saw Patrick Reid at the lane end, near Mr. Wraith's house, and from which one immediately faces into his dwelling by the back yard. He could not speak as to whether he was going to the house, but he had his head turned that way, as if about to enter by the kitchen door. At the same time he saw 11‘Cabe about ten yards off Mlliinnell's garden corner, walking towards Reid and Wraith's house. Ile could not speak as to what distance was between them; but he passed on, and a shower of rain almost immediately overtook him. In his cross-examination, he said he had known Reid personally for some time, but not his name, before the murder ; and he knew M'Cabe well. He did not see their faces, but ho spoke to their dresses and person, and swore positively that they were the two men ho had seen in the locality de scribed. The magistrates, after a short consultation, remanded the prisoners until next Saturday, for further . examination. M'Cabe said he wished to account for blood being on his basket by stating that he had pur chased some hearts and liver at Huddersfield a abort time before, and carried them home in it. He was allowed by the bench to have an interview with his wife, in the presence of the constable. Thus , at p r e sent this dread ful crime is involved in mystery. There is other evidence to be adduced, with respect to the ke y of the unfortunate victim's door, found in the well, a centre -bit, since dis covered, and other matters connected with , a long chain of circumstantial evide nce to connect the accused with the commission of this fearful crime ; but the rumours are too vague and contradictory to warrant publicity. The adjourned examination takes place before Mr. G. D. Barker, Deputy Coroner, this day, when it is ex pected the testimony of Mr. West and other witnesses may throw additional light upon the affair.

FLOWER SHOW AT THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. The " Royal South London Floricultural Society " held their annual May show of flowers, fruits, and vege tables, at the Surrey Gardens yesterday. The day was most propitious, and, large as had been the concourse of visitors to the ordinary amusements of this agreeable promenade on Monday, the numbers were yesterday fully equal, if not indeed greater. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by his suite, arrived at an early hour, and having passed through the several mar quees in which the flowers and plants were exhibited, he proceeded to view the painting of Gibraltar, with which he expressed himself highly pleased, and complimented the artist (Mr. Denson), who happened to be present, and whom his Royal Highness desir e d t o b e presented to , him. The show of plants and flowers was excellent. Some of the finest had been previously exhibited at Chiswick, but the genial weather since the Chiswick show had materially improved their appearance. The Pelargo_ niums, Azaleas, and Cape Heaths were particularly fine. The Cacti were good, but few. There were some beauti ful tulips, and several exquisite specimens of heartsease.

BALLOON ASCENT AT THE ROYAL ►STANDARD GARDENS.—The ascent which was aknounced to take place at thcAe gardens, yesterday evening, was carried out at a quarter to eight o'clock, in a manner that was satisfactory to the assembled spi ciators and gratifying in the extreme to the adtoirers of the science of aercwa,.. tion, inasmuch as a , jugular and unprecedt-rated diaplay of commendable and brotherly feeling manifested itself between Mr. Gypson, the intrepid aeronaut, and Mr. Gale. It appears that the latter gentleman's new bal loon susta,ned considerable injury in its descent, on Monday evening, from the Wellington-gardens' at Bristol, owing to the storm which prevailed, and as it was impossible for Mr. Gale to repair damages in time to make his ascent on Wednesday, Mr. G . p.,on gener ously proffered the use of his majestic machine, and it rose accordingly with Mr. Gale in the . ear, togeth er with Mr. Gypson and Mr. and Mrs. Brading. Atter a, pleasant trip, which lasted for more than an hour, a safe descent was effected near East Barnet, and as the gas was carefully preserved, and Mr. Gypson's balloon remained unoccupied, another ascent is promised to t a k e p l aco this evening, the ba loon containing the identical gas with. which it was inflated on Wednesday. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT STEPNEY.—Stepney fai r was yesterday the scene of extraordinary excitement, consequent en the outbreak of a fire which tor some time threatened the most disastrous consequences in an ex tensive range of rope-grounds, situate on the eastern side of the Fairfield, and which was only finally extin guished after the destruction of a large amount of pro perty. From inquiries made on the spot we un erstatd the tire broke out about halt-past one o'clock in the rope works carried on by Mr. darns, which extend from Fairfield-place over a space of ground measuring nearly 200 feet in depth. The workmen usually employed on the premn-es were absent at the time at dinner, and the fire obtained a firm hold before it was observable by any persons, probably owing to the great excitement prevail ing in the neighbourhood, the fair beingjust at mistime at its height. The work of destruction having once commenced, however, soon told its own tale, dense volumes of smoke rising from the building aid flames bursting forth with frigntful rapidity. The moment the fact became known, thousands of spectators assembled from all parts of the fair, and messengers were tr 4.. aid scantlythe sent off by the police authorities to obtain the fire brigade. The proximity of several dancing booths to Mr. Marn's rope walk left no , :loubt that the flames must inevitably reach them in the course of a few minutes, unless active means were taken to prevent such an extension of the catastrophe, and, as the only mode of avoiding it, the poles sup porting them were torn up and the whole of the erec. Lions thrown down. The fire meanwhile continued to spread until the whole of Mr. Marn's rope-works were enveloped in flames. The adjoining premises also (a rope-ground in the occupation of Mr. Gray) soon caught fire, and in a very brief space of time were reduced to ashes. The inflammable nature of the articles contained in both warehouses was such as to preclude all hype from the first moment of saving either. and even rafter the arrival of the engines the efforts of the firemen were confined to the salvage of the adjoining property in Fairfield-place and Arbour-row, the houses in both of which were several times in great danger of being fired. The fire literally burnt itself out , afte r destroying al 1 within its reach. The great sufferers by the cat o aatr t op e h i e are Mr. Maria and Mr. Gray; but neighbours are su ff erers to a considerable extent by the damage of their back premises and the removal of their ia lte otherarn's there is reason to believe that the fire originatedfurniture. lin t h h a r n o p u i g b h ' the carelessness of some person i n throwing a partially a r ignited rope • gr ound. match l into lir h . l rty insured; a_n:s pa su fferers, it is stated , are not.

FARRINGDON GENERAL DISPENSARY.--This \ Rillft• ble charity held its anniversary festival yesterday even ing at the Lond on CoffeehouseLudgate - hi ll , when ahnui 50 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Mr. L. J. Hansard occupied the chair, and during the evening subscriptions to the amount of 1501. were announced by the secretary. The proceedings were of the usual character on such oc casions, and we believe we shall best serve the interests of the charity by selecting the following facts from the report of last year us proofs of the benefits conferred by it:—The number of cases attended by the medical offi cers within the year has been 3,280. The physicians have afforded aid to the poor patients 23.196 times, and the surgeons have given their advice 5,624 times. Of . and relieved, the 2,741 cases admitted , 2,666 w ere cured number treated only two-andsa - ha lf per Pent. of the whole - deaths nearly a half were treated die ,, ; out of these c hildr e n, and of the r emaind e r a large proportion were cases of pulmonary c onsumption. In the obstetrical de partment there w ere 539 cases, 537 single and 2 double births; and, of the 541 children, 521 were born alive. Of the whole number of women confined only two deed. It a ppears from the report, that the charity is at pre sent in debt, but a confident hope was expressed that the liberality of the public would relieve it from its em barrassments.
