WESTMINSTER Evans ••• ••• It appeared from the evidence for the plaintiff that he (Lord Bury), being attracted by some penholders iu the shop window of the defendant, a stationer, in Jermyn street, entered the shop, when, finding on closer inspec tion that the articles were only those usually sold at six pence each, and not silver, his Lordship told the de fendant they were not such as he wanted, and that he wished to know if the defendant had some of a better quality. The defendant replied that he had not; they were good enough at the price. Th e pl a i nt iff rep li e d it was not a question of price —he wanted a better article, not trumpery things of that kind. The de fendant said, " Trumpery, indeed; you are a trumpery fellow, and I desire you will quit my shop." His Lord.. ship made some observation oa the offensive and un called-fur nature of the defendant's reply, upon which the defendant, more excited still, threaten,d to turn him out of the shop, and actually desired his boy to go for a policeman. His Lordship quietly waited in the shop for the boy's return, and seeing a policeman approaching, and supposing this was the constable who had been sent for, he went out and explained to the constable what had passed. The policeman accompanied him back to the defendant's shop, and his Lordship went in to remon strate in the presence of the constable with the defendant on the impropriety of his conduct, upon which the de fendant rushed from behind the counter to where his Lordship stood, and laying his hands suddenly upon him, without saying a word, he thrust him violently backwards out of the shop into the road. This was the assault complained of. The defendant attempted to palliate his conduct, and to show that he had some grounds for the proceedings he had taken. ... o .. o ... o ... 1 ... 1 ... 1 ... o ... 1 1 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 O 0 O 0 ... o .. 1 ... o o o 1 0 o 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 o o o 0 o 0 o o o 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 The Learned JUDGE considered the defendant's con duct was wholly inexcusable. In the exercise of a just discretion, he felt that he c ou ld not do otherwise than give judgment against the defendant for the whole of the amount at which the damages were laid. Upon the judgment being recorded, Mr. C. Don, who was professionally retained for Lord Bury, stated to the Court that it was needless to explain that his Lordship had been only actuated in the course he had pursued by a desire to teach the defendant a useful lesson. His Lordship felt that cases would fre quently occur where complainants could nave no desire to put damages into their own pockets, and that, as many in stances must come under his honour's notice where great poverty and distress existed on both sides, and wher e the Court must have, in consequence, very painful duties to perform, his Lordship begged that the 20/. damages might be considered as placed by him at his Honour's disposal, and he trusted it would prove the first contri bution towards a charitable fund, which would help to soften his Honour's more painful task, by enabling him to offer pecuniary aid or relief in deserving cases. Mr. Dud added, he felt the utmost pleasure in communicating his Lordship's liberal request, and his Honour expressed his unqualified satisfaction at assenting to the proposal. ... 0 ... 1 ... 1 ... 1 ... 1 ... o •• • 1 0 ▪ o ... ... 1 • 0 LushinEton WEYMOUTH W.

Smyth Mr. Rowe and Mr. Merivale were counsel for the pro secution, and Mr. Slade defended ihe prisoners. It appeared that on the morning of the 11th of June a great many of the miners at Butler's mine, near the town of St. Austell, most of whom had from 15s. to 17s. a week, stood round the shaft of the mine, and said they would not work any longer, for the price of flour was raised, and it was of no use to work, and they were going into St. Austell to see what they could do in it; t hey would go up to the clayworks, where the men were ready to so into the town with them. The agent of the mine urged them most strongly not to go, for they would only make things worse The men said they had made up their minds, and they wanted to lower the price of corn. Those miners, among whom were some of the prisoners, then went to the clayworks, and took away 26 men with them. The High Sheriff of the county, who had heard of the intention of the miners, had taken means for obtaining the military from Bod min; he, therefore, went to St. Austell early that morn ing, and met there Sir Joseph Sawle and Mr. Hext, the magistrates, and Mr. Coode, the under-sheriff. The preventive men were also in attendance. At that time the town of St. Austell was quiet, but about one o'clock in the day there was an immense gathering in the neigh bourhood, and then special constables were sworn in. Between two and three o'clock the High Sheriff and Mr. Coode went towards the house of the latter gentle. man, which was situate in the town, and found a consis derable number of persons assembled—perhaps 300 or 400. The mob shouted ; most of them had sticks, some of which were of a most enormous size—too large to be of any use to them. The Sheriff and Mr. Coode went into Mr. Coode's house, and observed the proceedings from the window. They heard a cry of" Warne's mill," and then saw a rush of the mob. The Sheriff and Mr. Coode went out of the house and followed the mob at a running pace, and saw some of them enter a baker's shop, and try to break in the door of another shop. They overtook the mob, went through it, and headed it. The Shetiff then mounted a wall and addressed the people, who were in a very excited state. The price of provisions at that time was very high. The Sheriff told them that, under ordinary circumstances, nothing would have induced him to hold any parley with them at all, but, as he knew there was great distress in the county, he would gladly hear all they had to say; but he advised them to send a deputation to the magistrates. Several of the mob were very violent, but others said it was good advice, and it would be better to send some of their own men to meet the gentlemen. The under sheriff (Mr. Coode) then addressed them as a neighbour and a friend, and that appeared to have a great effect. It was then arranged that the deputation should meet the magistrates in an hour, and that the deputation should nut be taken any advantage of. The Sheriff re turned to the town-hall, add then heard that soreethin e was going on at Mr. Pedlar's shop; he went there and found there was much confusion, the noise being such as was calculated to create alarm, and the mob was ran sacking the shop. The Sheriff ordered them in the Queen's name to disperse. Two men turned round and old him defiance, raising their sticks into the air, as if about to strike him. He seized both the men and gave them to the preventive 'men to take into custody. There were seven preventive men. The Sheriff and the preventive men then moved, when Mattnew Roberts appeared prepared to obst ruct t h e Sheriff ' s pro cee fellow," dinger whenhetoberSheriff stasid to him, " M ove on , m' , good instantly raised his stick as if about to strike the Sheriff, upon which the latter darted at him, and caught him by the throat, and said, " How dare you do so?" and handed him to a constable; " but," said the Sheriff, " the moment the man raised the stick he app eare d b y hi s eyes to h be av a e lm s i t ' r st uck par m al e The ed,and I don't thi n k h e wou ld riot then subsided for a short time, and the Sheriff and magistrates proceeded to the town hall, and met the deputation. When the de putation came in they said they were very sorry fur the conduct of the mob. They wanted to have the corn lower. Tho Sheriff said, they had raised a large sum already, but if they would disperse, he would promise th .in to call a meeting, and that every thing possible should be done to alleviate the distresses of those who actually required it. The deputation then wanted the magistrates to let Roberts free, but the Sheriff said to them, " You mistake your position; I am the-comman der, and am not to be commanded." The deputation said, " Let us trust the gentlemen;" and they then re quested the Sheriff to tell the people what understanding had been come to, as that would have a great effect. The Sheriff then went to the town-hall, and mounted some steps and addressed the people. They said, 6, First let out the man" (Roberts). The Sheriff told them that was impossible, and he begged them to go home. They then became very violent, some saying they would have the man, or the streets of St. Austell should run down with blood. One of the men (Blunt) was close to the Sheriff, who said to him, " My good old man, what business can you have here ? You had better go home. It is becoming a serious mat ter. I am trying all I can f*,:r you, by fair means, is as well to be shot as to be starved." The Sheriff but I will have peace and order." The man said, "It then read the Riot Act, and it was thought right that the soldiers should load their muskets, and the Sheriff directed that this should be done in the presence of the mob, that the men might know what was intended. The soldiers were marched out. Blunt tried to stand in the way, when the Sheriff said to him, "You stupid old 11 have the bayonets in fool, get out of the way, or you noticed, that the would point out the men he bad most that thesoldiers should constables should seize them, should then close upon them and take care of them. you." The Sheriff then told those under him that he The streets were cleared three times at the point of the bayonet. Webb was taken on account of his extreme obstinacy, because he would in spite of any entreaty go along one particular street, as he alledged to buy some tobacco. N o man was taken who showed the slightest disposition to retire. The part the different , prisoners had t a k en was prove d by the High Sheriff and different witnesses. The prisoners had most excellent characters given them. Nothing can exceed the con duct to app ease the feelings of the people, of the Hih Sheriff, w ho tried by every kindness and remonstranceand when h e found his en deavours were unsuccessful , he behaved i n so fi rm and determ ined a manner that he , most certainly prevented a state of ana rch y , confusion, and bloodshed, which must have led to the most disas• 1 trous consequences. His conduct was most exemplary. Chief Justice WILDE summed up the case to the jury separately, and with mo s t ex t raord i nary pains, go i ng through the evi dence as r egar d e d each prisoner, and directing the jury to consider eac h case privately to put down on paper th e i r verd i ct before t h e y went into the case of the next p r i soner. His Lor d s hip also spoke in high terms of the c on d uct o f the Sheri ff, and said that the safety of the c ountry d epende d u p o n the firmness dis played by j ur i es upon such occas i ons , because it taught misguided persons the impropriety of resorting to acts of violence and riot, for they were sure to find that, strong as miners might consider themselves to be, the law had more power, and they w ould bring themselves into disgrace an d punishment, and their families into a state of misery and wretchedness.

Stuart, a native of Nassau, New Providence, Bahama. The patient laboured under a dislocated cataract, which had obscured the poor fellow's vision for the last two years. The operation was performed in the presence of a number of scientific gentlemen by that skilful and eminent operator, Dr„F. Harringt on B rett, t h e surgeon of the institution. The process was momentary and apparently attended with little pain; the cataract being removed in a solid state from the eye, the pupil and sight restored. One remarkable circumstance is, the man being an Albino negro, that is, the son of black parents, yet, although his features are of the African cast, he is perfectly white, and has extremely long woolly white hair. He is seven feet in height, and as he wears together a velry,aztarvao._rdinGsaryalaNp,pes,arca.n_ce. long garm en t o f a leopard's skin pattern, he has al- BELFAST, The weather continues highly f avourable for the growing crops, which are coming Last to maturity, and in some of the early districts harvest has already partially commenced, and the yield is well spoken of. The reports as to disease in the potato and wheat crops are not confirmed, to any important extent ; and it is therefore to be hoped, that, with good weather, we shall have an average crop per acre. The bean and pease crops are less favourably spoken of, and we are . afraid that consid era bl e i n j ury has been already done. FATAL CART ACClDENT.—Saturday afternoon Mr. Baker held an inquest.at the London Hospital on view of the body of George Henry Jenkins, aged forty-eight, a carpenter, who lived at No. 2, Johnson's -street, Mile end Old Town.

I s * or ' 6.4 THE LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST % 1847. The case was not concluded tiil late at right, and the sentences were deferred. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Newcastle, July 30. The assizes for the county of Northumberland com menced here to-day. Their Lordships sat at ten o'clock; the Lord Chief Baron presiding in the Town-hall, anti Mr. Justice Wightman sitting in the County Court. In the county there are nine prisoners for trial. Of these one stands charged with murder, and one with man• slaughter. In the town are fourteen prisoners. Seven of these, however, are charged with participating in a riot and pulling down a booth. Two are charged with manslaughter, and the others with offences of the more trifling kind. Of the causes for trial, two are for the town and nine for the county. (Before Mr. Justice WIGILTMAN.) Joseph Simm, a tall and very powerful young man, was indicted for the manslaughter of John Walton. Mr. Atherton and Mr. Bigg conducted the prosecution. Mr. Ingham appeared for the defence. It appeared that on the 15th of May last the prisoner and the deceased met at a public-house in Newcastle. The deceased was very quarrelsome, and wished to in duce the prisoner to fight, standing up before him and using threatening language for the purpose of taunting him into a quarrel. The prisoner, however, declined to fight, and shortly after both parties left the house. They went in the same train as tar as Crarnlingtoo, and on getting out of the carriage the deceased sought to fasten a quarrel on a person of the name of Dodd. Dodd de clined fighting; said he was not a fighting man; and told Walton he might match himself with some of those present who were accustomed to such things. Walton said, " Then I will fight with Simms," and turning to wards him challenged him to a contest. It was at first proposed that they should fight for money, but they finally agreed to try their strength without any stake being deposited. They stripped, and during the first round they closed, when Walton getting behind Simms seized him by the hair and thrust him down into the ditch, falling heavily beside him. They commenced a second round, when the deceased received a severe blow on the side of the neck, and fell to the ground. He was unable to rise, and was raised up by his friends. He was quite insensible, and very soon after expired. A doctor was sent for, but life was extinct. This was the evidence fc;. ti;e prosecution. There had been no post-mortem examination, so that there was no conclusive evidence that the death had been caused by the blow received from the hand of the prisoner. His LORDSHIP, under these circumstances, intimated that he thought the case could not be carried further. It was impossible the jury could say whether or no the vio lence of the prisoner had been the cause of the death of the deceased. His Lordship commented in somewhat severe terms on the ill-judged economy, which had left the case incomplete to save the expense of a post-mortem examinaion, which, it was alleged, was not allowed in the costs of the coroner's inquest by the county authorities.. Verdict—Not guilty. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON:) John Hardy was charged with having on the 22d of May unlawfully stabbed Edward Ganby with intent to kill and murder him. The prisoner is a shoemaker in the Close, where he resides with his wife, and the prose cutor the son of the wife by a former husband. On the day in question the prosecutor, on going into his house, found the prisoner a❑d his wife quarreling. The pri soner struck his wife, and on the proseeptor attempting to quell the disturbance was struck by the prisoner, first with the cutting-board, afterwards with a knife, with which he stabbed him in the thigh. The jury acquitted him of the felonious intention, but found him guilty of a grievous assault, for which he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. The other cases in the calendar for the town, which were of uninteresting kind were disposed of during the day. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. WANDS WORTH. Saturday being appointed for tne final examination of Joseph Raymond and Charles Fidler, who stand charged with plundering the South Western Railway Company of property of every description, the court was crowded almost to suffocation. Mr. Bircham. of the firm of Bircham, Dalrymple, and Drake, solicitors to the company, stated that he should only proceed with two other cases, in addition to the one on which the prisoners were already committed. The first case taken to-day was that of two carpets— one fifty yard:, and the other thirty-six yards in length, which had been ordered of Mr. Bartholomew, a carpet manufacturer, in Finsbury pavement, by a Mr. Sharp, of Romsey. It was was proved that the truck containing the carpets was taken to the South Western terminus at Nine Elms, and deposited in a truck, but it never reached its destination. William Butcher then proved the purchase of the carpets from the prisoner. The witness said he lived at Witley; he got his living by buying all sorts of things. The piece of carpet produced is like that witness pur chased of the prisoner. He gave 41. 16s. for the two pieces, and got 61. 17s. for them. The prisoner Fidler made a statement to the effect, that on a certain Saturday he saw the witness Butcher, who said he was going down the line to get some peas, for which he had an order, and that he had them in a rush tiasket with him. That on the following Sunday morning he was seen at Wright's Coffee-house, in Nine Elms, with a carpet in the same basket; and if a man named Fairbrother was called it would be proved that the carpet had, according to the witness's own account, been brought from his uncle's at Whitby, and that he had not received it of them. Butcher said it was true that he did have on the morning in question a piece of carpet with him that he brought from ‘Vhitby, but that was a different thing from what he bought of the prisoners. Fidler, notwithstanding a caution from the magis trate, said that on Friday fortnight Butcher came to him at the Stag, in the Wandsworth-road, and said, " Have you a mind to go along with me to-night? I have got nothing this week, and I want two of you to go down the line and make about 31. I shall go down by the mail train as far as Woking, and then come up with the goods train and chuck something off, which you will take away." He and the other prisoner accordingly went on the line between New -street and Stewart's-lane, Batter ; sea-fields, and a s the goods train approachell (lid thron; something. off, and they believed it was Butcher, who was acting by direction of the police. The prisoners were then fully committed upon this charge. The next case preferred against the prisoners was that of stealing a truss belonging to Mr. Thomas Walton, of High-street, Gosport, naval outfitter. It was proved that the truss was sent to the railway, but never reached Gosport. The floor of the Court was strewn with dresses and goods of every description, and of most expensive quality. Butcher was called again, and identified all the articles produced as having been bought by him of the prisoners, to whom he had paid 51. ss. for the lot. Mr. BEVERLAC said the witness was by his own show ing a wholesale receiver, and it was a pity he was not in the dock with the prisoner s. He never knew a man who stood so great a chance of transportation. The prisoners were then committed on the third charge, and the witnesses, about thirty in number, bound over to appear at the assizes to be holden at Croydon. Mr. Bircham said he had been desired on the part of the company he had the honour to represent, to state their very great satisfaction at the cond uct of the poli ce, who had, dspite of almost insurmountable difficulties, succeeded in breaking the neck of a deeply-laid scheme of vtilany, and in apprehending two at least of the prin cipal offenders. SOUTHWARK. Henry Parfitt, a man in the employ of Messrs. Apsley Pellatt and Co., glass manufacturers, Holland- street, Blackfriar's road, was char g ed with s t ea l ing a quantity of cut glass decanters, and other articles, their property. Mr. H. B. Roberts, solicitor, attended on behalf of the prisoner. George Wyld, police-constable 94 M, said that on Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, he saw the pri soner leave Messrs. Pellatt's premises, and from informa tion he received he followed him until he came to the cab-stand in the Blackfriar's-road, when he stopped him and asked him to go back to the manufactory. He refused to do so, but on witness stating that he should take him to the station-house, he became alarmed, and tried to get away. Witness then called a cab, when he saw the prisoner attempt to throw something away, but he seized hold of his band and took from him a valuable cut toilet bottle, which proved to be his masters' property. After he had locked up the prisoner, he went to his lodgings, and found a great number of drinking glasses of various sorts, several decanters, and some fancy glasses, which he took away. When he returned to the station-house the prisoner told him that the glass was given to him by the prosecutors' foreman ; but on questioning the latter he denied giving him only a few useless articles, which were among them. Witness here produced the pro perty, when Mr. Wheable, the foreman in Messrs. Pel latt's premises, said that he gave the prisoner a broken decanter and two useless glasses. The other decanters appeared quite new, some of the goblets were made on purpo,e for the University Club, but had not been cut. Such glasses were not made by any other manufacturer. The whole of the property had been taken from the warehouse over which the prisoner had charge, and he Liitd ample opportunities of carrying them away at various times. For several days the property had been missed from the stock, i n c o n s equence of which suspicion was attached to the prisoner, and on Thursday evening the constable had orders to watch him as he lett. Witness identified the toilet bottle as one made by the firm, and kept in the stock which the prisoner had charge of. Mr. Pellatt was in attendance, and informed the ma gistrate that the firm had been robbed to a great extent by his servants, and an example must be made. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that the whole of the glass was given to him at various times by Wheable, except a sugar basin, which was his property. Mr. SECKER said that the witness had sworn to the contrary, and, as the ca se was o f some importance, he should commit him for trial. DEATH OF MR. EATON, LATE M.P., CAMBRIDGE.. SHIRE.—We have to record the demise of Richard Jef ferson Eaton, Esq., who, up to the day of his dissolu tion, represented Cambridgeshire in Parliament. He died on the 27th inst., aged 46.

A report was brought from the committee to whom it was referred to trace into consideration the propriety of erecting a more commodious coal market. It stated that upon application .to the. Commissioners of Customs, that board had allowed that a temporary building should be erected on the Custom House Quay for the accommoda tion of the public. The report was agreed to, and the contract was passed under the City seal. THE CUTANEOUS INSTITUTION. Certain resolutions were transmitted to the Court from the Institution for the cure of Cutaneous Diseases, expressive of the thanks of the directors for the grant by the Corporation of 100 guineas in aid of the funds, and at the same time denying the correctness of the statement of Mr. Anderton, a member of the Court, to the effect that the private patients of Mr. Starting, the surgeon of the institution, were allowed to use the baths erected for the benefit of the afflicted poor. Mr. ANDERT , N called the attention of the Court to the remarkable fact, that the resolutions contradicted his , issei non, and admitted the correctness of it at the same time in the most effectual manner, by particularly de scribing the persons who visited the baths, and whom nobody could mistake for other people than Mr. Start ing's patients. The Court showed its sense of the censure thrown upon one of its members, by at once ordering that the resolutions should lie on the table, instead of dir,cting, according to its usual practice in cases in which thanks are returned for benefactions, that they should be en tered upon the minutes of the Court. CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Deputy ConNEY Said he doubted whether it was in the power of the Court Of Common Council to restrain the magistrates in an expenditure which. from the nature of their duties, they might be bound to incur. He believed there was much legal inquiry in volved in the matter, and that it would be m, st advisable that the two Courts should meet on the sub ject. He then moved that the report be referred back to the committee, with instructions to hold a conference with the Court of Aldermen relative to the question. dr. R. L JONES had no• objection to such a propo sition. He wished•to dorreet an erroneous notion which confounded the power of the Aldermen as magistrates with their power as Aldermen. The authority over funds for the payment of sums incurred under their sanction as magistrates was like that possessed by ma gistrates elsewhere, but it was to the expenditure of money as Aldermen tbat objection and opposition was made, and the check was intended to be given.—(Hear.) Deputy ALLAN agreed to adopt the proposition of Deputy Corney, and the motion was unanimously agreed to. — Mr. BURN brought up the report on the duties of the offices of Comptroller and Collector of the City's dues on wines. It suggested a number of alterations calcu lated to increase the public convenience, and was unani mously agreed to. TUE NEW CITY PRISON. TheCmuamAn of the special committee appointed to co-operate with the Court of Alderman, aed to view and examine the prisons belonging to the City, and to report their opinion as to the accommodation afforded to prisoners, the opportunity for classification and separate confinement, and whether there exists any necessity for building a new prison, or enlarging or altering the existing prisons, with a view to carry into effect improvements in prison discipline, brought up 'a report which stated as follows That in ad dition to our report presented to this Court on the Ist of July, in which we stated the several proceedings in the conference which had taken place between your com mittee and the special-committee of gaols of the Court of Aldettnen, in relation to the proposed new House of Correction, with a recommendation that the same should be built on the City's ground at Holloway, we have now to report that at a further conference it was mutually agreed that the construction of the new prison should be such as to admit of its future adaptation to and• mode of discipline that might hereafter be determined upon, and that the same should be constructed for not less than 400 prisoners, arid that fufficient sleeping cells should be constructed. We jointly referred it to the Clerk of the City Woks to prepare a plan upon this principle, and to submit the same to us for consideration. That we have since re ceived from him a plan accordingly, classed and arranged as under : FOR ADULT MALE PRISONERS. Four wings, containing 72 each, each wing consist ing of three stories, to accommodate 2 t prisoners 283 • • FOR FEMALE PRISONERS One wing, containing three stories, to accommodate 56 AND FOR JUVENILE PRISONERS. .A.further re.ilag,o three atones, to accommodate.. Total... . • 400 " The prison to occupy a site of eight acres, and the small triangular piece of ground on the north thereof to be retained for any purpose which may hert•atter be determined upon. " That both Committees having duly considered the said plan, and heard the clerk of the works in explanation thereof, unanimously approve the same, and we recom mend it to this Honourable Court for adoption, subject to such modifications, if any, as may after further conside ration be deemed expedient, provided that to steps be taken until the estimate of the expense of such new House of Correction be reported to this Court, and their sanction had thereto." The report was agreed to without discussion. Adjourned. The bust of Mr. R. L. Jones, by Mr. Behnes, which was a few days ago placed i❑ the Court, opposite to that of the highly respected Alderman Waithman, attracted great admiration. HORRIBLE MURDER IN HULME. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY A FTERNOON.-A few minutes after ten o'clock this (Saturday) morning, information reached our office, that. two children of tender age had been barbarously murdered by their father, in Lard street, Hulme. On hastening to the spot immediately after the receipt of the intelligence, we found the melan choly story too true, and learned that the wretched per petrator of the sad tragedy had also nearly murdered his wife, the mother of the two children. It appears that the murderer is labouring under some dreadful hallucination of mind, caused by the want of employ meut, and his consequent inability to support his wife and family.... The name_ of the murderer is Joseph Speed, a man about 34 years old, who is by trade a stripper in a cotton mill, and who, until a short time before Christmas, worked at the mill of Messrs. Pooley. He is stated to have been a sober, steady, and industrious man, and for aught that appe4rs to the contrary, has been a good husband and an affectionate father. Ho has been . out of employment. however, since before Christmas, and this seems to have induced a lowness which, there is reason to beli eve , h as turned fellow's brain. About t en o ' c l ock this the e spirits, poor morning, or a short time before, his wife, it appears, left the house to procure a supply of water for her usual Saturday's cleaning and for domestic purposes, leaving her, husband at home in charge of the two chil dren, who at the time were in bed. Urged, no doubt, by poignant grief at the prospects before him, the wretched man seems to have seized this opportunity of carrying his intentions into effect, for on the wife's re turn home, almost immediately, she found her offsprings lying on the bed with their throats cut, and quite dead. As soon as she returned he appears to have attacked her, evidently with the most murderous intention, for, from all we have been able to glean,. he made a savage onslaught upon her, armed with a heavy iron hammy-r. Of the particulars which followed little is at present known, as the wife, though still alive and sensible, is in far too dangerous a condition to be questioned. That he meant to murder her as well as the children is, how ever, sufficiently evident, as hestraightway left the house and went to the police-station in Jackson's-lane, where he surrendered himself to Sub-inspector Lightfoot, and stated that he had . just murdered his wife and two chil dren. The house is at the present moment in the charge of constables 38 and 70 D division of police. The man himself has been removed to the divisional police-station, Town Hall, Chorlton-upon-Medlock. His clothes are poor and ragged, and are spoited with blood in many places, especially his shirt and trousers. Most likely he will be brought Uri for examination at the Borough Court on Monday.—Mititchester Courier. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Saturday evening a lengtheued inquiry was instituted before Mr, Baker, at the Yorkshire Grey, High-street, Whitechapel, relative to the death of James Hughes, aged 42, who blew his head off with a horse pistol, at his lodgings, No. 2, George-yard, Whitechapel. It appeared that the de ceased was the owner of several houses, and that he had been in her Majesty's sea-service, in which he lost his right leg. In the course of the last six months he had embarked in various house-building speculations, in con sequence of which he became involved in pecuniary diffi cuities, the effect of which led him to habits of intem perance. •On Thursday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, a female named Ellen Lyons was talking to deceased's wife, when they heard the report of a pistol in the kitchen. She went there, and on her Way met deceased's daughter, who was covered with blood, and who exclaimed "Father is dead." On going in the kitchen she found deceased on a bed, with a horse pistol which bad been recently discharged, tightly grasped in his Valid. The upper part of his head was blown away, the brains and skull being all over the room. Deceased's daughter saw her father put the' pistol to his m ou th whiLt he-dijoharged it. Verdict—. Temporary litaanity. The REMEMBRANCE having announced that the City Improvement Bill in the line to St. Paul's had passed through Parliament, it was proposed and agreed to that the work should not be proceeded with until it be deter mined from what source the funds required for carrying the improvements into effect were to be raised. Upon the motion of Mr. HARRISON, the subject was referred to the Improvement Committee. THE TWO COURTS OF THE CORPORATION. Deputy ALLAN, in calling the attention of the Court to the report of the Coal and Corn and Finance Com mittee on the subject of the Court of Aldermen drawing upon the Chamber for the payment of pensions and otherwise, expressed regret that two of the Aldermen, instead of attending the committee, had preferred the alternative of complaining of the committee in their own Court. Mr. H. L. JONES regretted that the report contained no suggestion as to the maximum sum to which the Court of Aldermen might go in voting the money of the Corporation. He thought, and he had so expressed himself in the committee, that it was ridiculous to limit the Aldermen to the power of voting money without the consent of the Court to the sum of 1001.., but the ma jority of the committee entertained a different opinion. The Aldermen required the curb rein, but cer tainly not so stringent a, check as that w hi c h tied them down to the expenditure of 1001.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Propose a limit.") lie thought the limit might be set down at 4001.
