IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 15. The House met to-day at Twelve o'clock. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. Mr. MUNTZ presented a petition from the medical practitioners of Birmingham in favour of this Bill. MR. MOTT, THE ASSISTANT POOR-LAW COMMISSIONER. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on Monday, on the order of the day being read for the third reading of the Loan Discount Bill, he should ask the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Home De partment whether the appointment of Mr. Mott as a Poor-law Commissioner had received the sanction of the Government, and also other questions with respect to the offices held by Mr. Mott. The questions conveyed serious charges against Mr. Mott, which the Hon. Gen tleman specified. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER advised the Ilon.Gentleman to modify his Q uestions, as it was nct fair to cast imputations upon Mr. Mott in the shape of interrogatories. Mr. FERRAND replied that the motion which he had read was simply an extract from a Parliamentary paper, which was laid on the table last week. He had merely adopted the words used therein with respect to Mr. Mott. The words were not his. The matter then dropped. LOAN DISCOUNT BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved that the report on this Bill be received. Mr. FERRAND said he wished to have a pledge from her Majesty's Government that the Poor law Administration Bill should stand as the first order of the day for discussion on Monday, and that it should be taken first. It had stood first among notices of motions for the last fortnight, but it bad been put off from time to time; but the Government had given the most solemn pledge not only to him, but to other Hon. Members, that it should come on for discussion before the other orders of the day on Monday; but he feared from what had recently taken place, for instance, the motion of the Hon. Member for Waterford (Sir W. Barron), which, after it had occupied nearly the whole night in discussion, was withdrawn at the request of the Government, and from the delay that had already taken place, that the Government intended to shirk the measure altogether, and consequently to avoid the dis cussion of its merits. It was a most important measure, and would affect at least 3,000,000 of the poorest cl a ss of the population of this country, who were now living on a diet which had reduced the m to the most abject state, and if the fever which was now desolating Ireland was to extend its ravages to this country, he should like to know what would become of the poor, who were c ,napelled to subsist on the diet which the Poor-law Com missioners allowed them, as it was a well known fact that the diet sanctioned by them was not suf fi cient to keep those who partook of it in bodily health, and he was anxious to have the pledge to which he had referred from the Govern ment in order that the Bill be taken the first thing 014 Monday. Unless he should receive this pledge from the Government, he should consider it his duty, as an inde pendent Member of that House, to propose as an amend ment, on the order of the day for the third reading of the Loan Discount Bill being read, that it be read fur the purpose of being discharged, in order that the Poor-law Administration Bill should be at once proceeded with. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the lion. Gentleman had used a great deal of unneces szry violence in his address to the House. — (Hear, hear.) He could assure them that the Bill to which he had referred would be taken on Monday night if possible ; and if the Hon. Gentleman would look to the notices of motion for Monday, he would find Oat I , is Noble Friend, (Lard J. Russell) had a notice on the paper " that the Peor-law Administration Bill be proceeded with before the other orders of the day." Mr. FERRAND—Hear, hear. The subject then dropped. The report was then brought up, received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. TURNPIKE ROADS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was also read a third time and passe3. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. Mr. P. HOWARD presented a petition from the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Carlisle in favour of Vie Health of Towns Bill, and praying for an alteration in the 26th clause of the Bill. MEDICAL REGISTRATION 81T.T,, Mr. HAWES presented several petitions in favour of this Bill. The Lleuse then adjourned. RAILWAY COMMITTEES, HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(SATURDAY. GROUP XXXII'. GILE.A.T NOILTELERN EXTENTXONS TO LEEDS JILIVD 177.A.IILIEFIZI.D. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock. Mr. BAINES, on the part of the Leeds and Dewsbury Rail way, stated that he was instructed, on the part of the land owners oprsing the Great Northern Railway to withdraw their opposition to the further progress of the measure. But stateil, at the same time, that his clients were fully con vinced of the necessity and advantage of an independent ac• ceis to the town of Leeds, and as they conceived that the proposed line of the Leeds and Dewsbury would afford these advantages, he claimed to be heard against the merits of the proposed Great Northern scheme, should the Committee be of opinion that in consequence of the withdrawal of the opposition as to the proposed levels and crossings of the Great Northern Railway, that that line should be allowed to proceed with their case. - . Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAm, on the part of the Great Northern Railway, contended that this opposition having been removed, he was now entitled to proceed with his Bill. Mr. TALBOT, for the Midland Railway, opposed the re opening of the case. The room was then ordered to be cleared. Upon our re admission, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee were of opinion that a great waste of the time of the Committee had taken place in consequence of the opposition not having been withdrawn at an earlier period, but as they conceived that the public interests were of paramount importance, they should allow the Great Northern Railway to proceed with their case, on condition that a plan should be deposited by twelve o'clock on Monday, showing definitely the mode by which they pro posed to meet the difficulties of their levels at the point of crossißg the Leeds and Dewsbury line. The Committee then adjourned till Thursday next, at twelve o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS, (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons. FRIDAY, MAY 14. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE.

Hayes, we have news and papers from New Zealand to the 2Sth of January, and Rio to the 27th of March. We extract the following from the New Zealander of January 23d, a paper published at Auckland : " Since our last publication his Excellency the Governor has returned from the Bay of Islands, but the particulars of his visit we have as yet been unable satisfactorily to learn. It would appear, however, that Heki was afraid to confront the Governor on board the steamer, and consequently, no personal interview took place between them. We understand fears were expressed by Heki, that if he went on board the Driver, he might not be able to come ashore again when he pleased. We trust the settlers, who had an opportunity of seeing him, disabused his mind of any such wrong impres sion. The natives generally who were along with him be trayed considerable feelings of alarm, and the sudden appear ance of her Majesty's ship Castor a day or so after the steamer's arrival tended to heighten this apprehension. Some little speechifying took place among the natives themselves, and Heki dealt largely in scriptural quotations; the burden of his song, however, was peace. As he found, after remaining some four days, that no notice was taken of him, and that he failed to attract the Governor to his presence, the follow ing morning at break of day he and his followers launched their canoes, and took themselvess ofE It would have been more satisfactory had Captain Grey and the fanatical Master Heki met ; but the latter personage, finding that he is no longer the man of importance he was, thought he might acquire a little spurious fame by having it in his power to say the Kawana came to him. He has been disappointed, and, like a petted child, behaved accordingly. Our loyal and most excellent native friend, Thomas Walker, is now re siding at Russell, a substantial house built for him by the Government." Our Wellington papers are up to the 6th instant, and it appears from them that the southern settlers are unanimous in their approbation of Captain Grey's government. The same feeling prevailed at Auckland, where a congratulatory address, couched in the most flattering terms, had been pre sented to the Governor, on the seventh anniversary of the foundation of the colony. The rate of exchange at Rio, when the Driver left, was 28%. SHIELDS, MAT 14.—Wind S.W.—Arrd. 13, Adeline Dow ing, Sierre Leone. Sld. Harriet, New York; Betty, Rio Janeiro. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.—OXFORD, MAY 13. In the convocation holden this day the proposed alterations in the statute De Concionibus were rejected by a very large majority, whilst thosein the new statute De Disciplina Theo logica, and in the statute relative to the Ireland Professor of the Exegesis of Sacred Scripture, were allowed to pass. MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—Fri day an adjourned inquest was resumed and concluded at the Grave Maurice public-house, in the Whitechapel-road, before Mr. Baker, coroner, on the body of Agnes Macdonald, aged 42 years, who died from the effects of dreadful violence inflicted by her husband, Gilbert Macdonald, a ship-joiner, who has been remanded on a charge of wilful murder. The evidence of the surgeon at the hospital was taken, who de tailed the nature of the injuries received by the deceased. Other witnesses proved the cruelty of the prisoner towards his unfortunate wife. The coroner then summed up at great length, and pointed out how Macdonald was affected by the evidence. There could be no doubt the man had inflicted serious injuries on his most unfortunate partner, and that her death was caused thereby. He explained the law relating to murder and manslaughter, and said the case deserved the most serious consideration of the jury. The jury deliberated for upwards of an hour, and then returned a verdict of wilful murder against Gilbert Macdonald, the husband of the de ceased, and the coroner issued his warrant for his committal to Newgate for trial. THAMES REGATTA.—Friday the first meeting of the committee and subscribers to this regatta was held at the British Hotel, Cockspur• street, and was numerously at tended. C. Selwyn, Esq., the vice-president in the absence of Lord Viscount - Castlereagh, the president, took the chair. With respect to their finances—the year 1846 had found them, he said, with a balance of 1801.; which, by subscrip tions and entrances, was increased to 838/. 3s. id.; while the expenditure of the year was 864/. 14s. 7d., leaving a balance against the treasurer of 261. 16s. 6d. ; of this sum there was paid to watermen (prizes and hire) 583/. 175.; for plate, hire of boats, and incidental expenses, 2801. 17s. 7d. Doubtless the outlay had been very great, and in some cases ill-judged, yet the committee would not advise their successors to discontinue the Champion Prize of 100/., open to " all the world," as it had been the means of producing some of the best races on record, and of introducing the noted " Claspers" to the London river. J. L. Jenkins, Esq., eulogising their services, proposed that the president, Lord Castlereagh vice-president, C. Selwyn, Esq. ; and trea surer, E. Antrobus, Esq., M.P., be re-elected—carried by acclamation. GIGANTIC RHUBARB. A bunch of rhubarb has been exhibited at our office, which was purchased at Retford, in this connty, on Wednesday, for sixpence. It weighs 121bs. ; the stalks are 21 inches long, and inches diameter. It is of a particular sort, grown only by Mr. Pennington, of RetforJ, who at this early period of the season has several acres full grown, presenting a picture of luxuriance and ,ibundance which is truly wonderful. It is a remarkable fact that the well-known variety of kidney potatoes denominated " Holberney kidneys" were produced from seed g r o wn b y Mr. Holberney, at East Retford, and Mr. Pennington seems likely to be equally famous in his variety of rhuharb.—Not tingkarnshire Guardian. THE INCOME-TAX.—It will be in the recollection of many of our readers that when the income-tax was first proposed the chief objections to it were the inquisitorial power that its collection must confer, and the publicity to which the affairs of every mercantile man would be exposed through, the disclosures which might escape from official sources. We strongly urged those arguments to this odious tax, and the reply that was offered was, that by establish ing a board of special commissioners sworn to hold sacred the contents of the returns of all those who claimed the privilege of rendering their account to that secret tribunal, no in justice could be inflicted. - For some time past it has been stated that the contents of the special returns in one of the City districts have been allowed to escape. From the high character of the commissioners, we could not place any con fidence in the report, and we believe that we are correct in holding that opinion; but within the last few days it has been again stated that the contents of these returns have transpired through some source which it cannot be difficult for the six commissioners to discover. We trust that this breach of faith, if brought home to the offender, will meet with that prompt and decisive punishment that it so fully deserves.— Times. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, MAT 14.—The Oriental and Peninsular Company's steam-ship Montrose' Captain Burney, from Gibraltar, arrived here at 10 A.m., and landed her mails, under charge of Lieut.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 14. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HITCHCOCK. In this case the Attorney-General, the Solicitor. General, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Boville for the defendant. . . . _ It was an information at the instance of the Excise against the defendant, who carries on the business of a brewer at Boxford, in Suffolk, charging him with secretly and clan destinely manufacturing malt, in a room not entered for that purpose, and thereby evading the payment of duty. The case on behalf of the Crown was, that in the autumn of 1845 the defendant erected a cistern at the back of his kitchen fireplace, in a place previously occupied as a back kitchen, and which communicated with his malt-house by means of a secret trap-door, and in this way fraudulently contrived to manufacture malt for the space of a whole year. The cistern was discovered by an Excise officer in November last, upon information given by a person named Spooner, who had been in the defendant's employment, but was sud denly dismissed. When the trap-door was discovered all the necessary implements for the manufacture of malt were found, and a residuum of damp mud, which had been left after an extensive and long-continued malting, was found at the bottom of the cistern. The defence set up was that the cistern had not been used for the purpose of malting as alleged by the Crown, and in support of the case several labourers, who had been in the defendant's service, were examined. Their evidence, however, did not seem to be satisfactory, for the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the Crown, with penalties to the amount of 4,000/. May 16. IMPORTANT CASE.-CHILTON V. THE LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action for assault and false imprisonment. Sir F. Thesiger. Mr. Sergeant Channell, and Mr. Peacock, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Kennedy for the defendants. Sir F. THESIGER stated that Mr. Chilton, who is one of her Majesty's counsel, on the evening of the 15th of October, 1845, took a ticket to proceed from Sydenham, where his family resided, to London, by the Croydon Railway, in a first-class carriage. He was very well known to the officers, and there was no difficulty in iden tifying him. Mr. Chilton lost his ticket, and stated the fact upon his arrival at the London terminus to Smith, an officer of the company. He offered to pay one shilling, which is the fare from Sydenham to London, but Smith insisted upon having ls. 3d., being the whole fare from Croydon to London, which Mr. Chilton refused to pay, whereupon Smith gave him into the custody of a police officer. Mr. Chilton refused to go without being forced to do so, whereupon the constable laid his hands upon him, and Mr. Chilton said that was sufficient, and he would go with the officer, and he accordingly went to the station-house. Mr. Chilton, fearing that his family might be alarmed at his absence, offered to pay the ls. 3d., which Smith refused to re ceive, and insisted on the charge being taken. The charge was entered, " For having rode in a railway carriage without paying his fare." It happened that a Mr. Roberts, a solicitor, was passing by, who, knowing Mr. Chilton, offered to become bail, which was accepted. Mr. Chilton having been detained about halt an hour. The next morning Mr. Chilton attended be fore a magistrate, who made an order fur the payment of Is. 3d., but afterwards rescinded it, feeling that he had not the power to make such an order. On the 17th of October Mr. Chilton wrote to the company, com plaining of Smith's conduct in the matter, and request ing that the by-law, which was supposed to give such power to the company, should be abrogated. This, however, was refused. Much correspondence followed, and ultimately Mr. Chilton brought his action. The defendants pleaded, first, not guilty ; and, secondly, justification under the by-laws. To this last plea the plaintiff demurred, and the Court, upon argument held the plea to be bad. This state of facts came out in evidence before the Court yesterday. The CHIEF BARON suggested to the defendants to apologise. Mr. KENNEDY, however, declined to do this, and ad dressed the jury, observing that the arrest was made by the defendants' officer, upon the belief that the by -laws of the company gave him that power, and the company always conceived they had that power, until the Court upon the decision respecting the demurrer, declared that they had Rot. The power, however, was necessary, not only for the benefit of the company, but fir the security of the public, and the Company would go to Parliament to get the power. The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, expressed his belief that Parliament never would grant the power in question, as it was one which no body of men oeght to possess over the subjects of this realm. The jury returned to csnsider their verdict, and after a lengthened consultation, eame into Court, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 500/. QUEEN'S BENCH, May 15. WALLINGTON V. LAMBERT. This was an action to recover a suo2 of money from the defendant, Sir 11. Lambert, of Oxfordshire, as a director of the Great Welsh Junction Railway Company, in respect for maps prepared for that railway by the plaintiff. The defendant's liability was not established, as he was only a director conditionally, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Baron ALDERSON.) Char!es Brown, aged 38 years, described as a plumber, who was found guilty yesterday of uttering a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange for 2281. 155., with intent to defraud William Patrick Gray, was brought up to-day for judgment. Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence, said that as the prisoner had not obtained any money by means of the forged instrument, and as he had received a good character, he would not inflict the full penalty of his offence, and instead of transporting him, sentenced him to two years' imprison ment and hard labour. Lydia Basel, a widow, aged 50, and Louisa Norris, a spinster, aged 28, were placed at the bar, charged, the former with feloniously uttering to the Paymaster-General a docu ment purporting to be a declaration and certificate of the identity of one Frances Laudon Guiltery, as the widow of one James Guiltery, and entitled, as such widow, toa sum cf money as a pension, with the interest, to defraud her Majesty the Queen, and Norris with feloniously inciting, procuring, and aiding her to do so, and commit the said felony. The prosecution against the latter prisoner was not pressed, but the former pleaded Guilty. Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence, said, that the con duct of the prisoner was most culpable, and calculated, though he hoped it would not have that effect, of defeating the charitable intention of the Government, and inducing them to discontinue such pensions as they had heretofore granted. He would certainly transport her but for her age. The sentence of the Court was, that she should be imprisoned for three years, and kept to hard labour. Edmund Garbett, a man of very respectable appear ance, was indicted for forging the acceptance to a bill of exchange for 50L, with intent to defraud William Booth. This case appeared to excite a more than usual interest, owing, perhaps, to the extraordinary circumstances under which the prisoner was committed for trial. It will be recollected that at the last assizes at Kingston, an action was brought by a person named Blagney, against Mr. Booth, to recover the amount of the above bill of exchange, alleged to have been accepted by him. The defence was, that the acceptance in question.was a forgery; and to prove that fact the prisoner was put in the box, when his evidence was of so extraordinary a nature as to induce the Learned Judge, before whom the case was tried (Lord Denman), to conclude that the wit nessctordoi efoe r mal an d nmtd. ch i rr n erae. a. g.nmldy Martin..ll, l. nr.l.,Tlnihoo committed anwvtaiang t pgu o pee takecarChambers m h a i bss ecounsel trial ufno sr o e n it hf t eoh for the hcharge. prisoner.p ro s e had himself forged the acceptance, and he was ae cu- briefly stated the case on the part gce p i ov r upe o A s ny e mb eit t i tßh o hs n ee , prisoner tprrirosoonngelsyre short-handod objected b j i wt n herceitt t eae h dbr l os fi vtneo r ostttrtehisainstance, evi dence evidence being received. The evidence that a man gave in a civil action could not afterwards be made use of against him in a prosection for felony. Mr. Baron ,ALDEnsoN, however, thought it would be better to receive the evidence than to reject it, because if it were rejected there would be an end of it. If, bow. ever, he did wrong in receiving it, he would be set right by the other judges, fur whose future decision he would reserve the point. The notes were then put in and read. The most material part of the prisoner's evidence on that occasion was to this effect :—That the acceptance in question was not in the handwriting of William Booth ; that he knew who it was accepted by having been present at the time, and when asked to name the party, he said, " I am in the hands of the Court," and he declined to answer any questions on that point, whereupon be was committed by Lord Denman, as already stated. The next evidence was that of the prosecutor. William Booth, who stated that he was a farmer, and resided in Shropshire. He had known the prisoner about fifteen years. When he first knew him he was clerk to an attorney, residing at Wellington, but at the expiration of his artieleihip he set up in business for himself, and afterwards went into partnership with a person named Dulling. In the year 1846 witness em ployed the prisoner in several professional transactions. (He here stated the nature of them at great length.) The only material part of his evidence in chief was that his acceptance to the bill in question was not in his hand writing, and that he never, directly or indirectly, au thorised the prisoner to accept for him. The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Chambers as to other bills. He admitted his know ledge that the prisoner had accepted several other bills in his name, and that he had taken no steps to punish him for so doing. or to prevent a repetition of such con duct, but he denied most distinctly having ever said tothe prisoner, with reference to those bills, "I don't mind your using my name, providing I don't get into any trouble." -He further stated that at the time when the bill in question was issued he did not owe the prisoner any money. The bill was then put in and read. It we-, for 501., dated June, 18-16, drawn by the prisoner on, and purported to be accepted by William Booth, and payable at three months after date. This was the case on the part of the prosecution. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the jury at g reat len g th on the part of the prisoner ; but the main p oint of his arg : u ment was that as the presrcuter had re.-eived due notic,• long before the transaction which gave rise to the present pri.eeedings, that certain bills purporting to be accepted he him had been circulated by the priione r,and had taken rep Neps to punish him for maki n g so free with his name, prisoner might, considering the intimacy that existed between them, have construed tha t into an inn plied authority to continue such conduct, provided the bills were provided for when they came to maturity. Implied authority could not be judged of by the mere denial by the party interested, that he had given it, but might be inferred by his general conduct in reference to previous transactions- cf a similar nature.

He did not cal sny witnesses. Mr. Ballot( ALDERSON, on summing up the evidence, said that the principal question for the consideration of the jury was whether with reference to previous con duct on the part of the pri,oncr that of the prosecutor had been such as to give the prisoner any reasonable ground for supposing that the prosecutor had given biro any right, express or implied, to put his name to Bills of Exchange, and not whether he had reason to suppose that the prosecutor would not take steps to punish him if he did so. The jury, after a very short consultation, retnrned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner heard the verdict with perfect indif ference and shook hands with some of his friends before he left the dock. He will not receive sentence until the decisiOn of the twelve judges is known on the points re served for their consideration. The trial lasted the remainder of the day, and the court was crowded to excess throughout. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BELLIGERENT LEGISLATORS.—Lord Viscount Pol lington, M.P., accompanied by Mr. Clarkson, his pro fessional adviser, applied on Saturday to Mr. Bingham for a warrant against the Hon. S. P. Smythe, M.P., of No. 68, Harley-street, for having sent him a letter with intent to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace, by fighting a duel. Mr. Clarkson stated that Lord Pollington Verily be lieved that Mr. Smythe intended to provoke him to fight a duel, and he would establish this point by the production of a letter written by Mr. Smythe to Lord Pollington, the previous evening. The letter had refer ence to a dinner at which Mr. Smythe was to preside, at Eton. Mr. BINGHAM, after perusing it, was of opinion that the letter contained expressions sufficiently offensive to warrant the belief entertained by Lord Pullington, and granted a summons against Mr. TR Smythe. W OR S HIP-S EE T. Saturday morning two young men, brothers, named Henry Farr and chaises Farr, were br o ught before ill-. Broughton. for re-examination, charged with stealing a cash-box, con taining gold, Bank notes, and securities, amounting to up wards of 2301., the property . of Mr. James Bird, landlord of the Mail Coach Tavern, Kingsland-road. The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner, Henry Farr, had been in his service as a potman for about three weeks, antecedent to Easter Sunday last; but he absconded on the afternoon of that day. The cash-box, which he had left safe in the cupboard of the bar parlour, had disappeared. Information was given to the police, and it was ascertained that the other prisoner, who had filled a similar situation to his brother in the Edgeware road, had also absconded the same evening. The wife of the prosecutor, whilst passing down Fleet-street, observed them both seated in a cab, and she called out to the driver to stop the vehicle. On hearing the alarm, the prisoner, Henry Farr, dashed open the door, and darting across the road, effected his escape, but the other was given into custody. From the statement of the cabman, it appeared that he had taken them up on their arrival from the country, at the Euston-square terminus, and they had with them carpet bags and a large bundle, well stocked with male attire. City police-constable Smith, 337, searched the prisoner, and ,found in his possession three sovereigns and a quantity of silver, amongst which was a sixpeLny piece, marked in a peculiar manner, which was afterwards shown to the prosecutor, who at once identified it as having been stolen, with the cash-box, at the time in question. The other prisoner was traced to Carey-street soon afterwards, and taken into custody. The prosecutor was enabled to prove that the prisoners had changed one of the notes at the railway station. The prosecutor stated that, since the last examination, he had received letters from two individuals, who could not at- tend that day, who stated that they had been robbed in a similar manner by the prisoners, and one of them to the tune of about 180/. Mr. 13notiGirrox remanded the prisoners for a week, in order to give time for the production of the other witnesses. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.

BREAD RIOTS AT COLLUMPTON.—lnformation has been received in Bristol this morning (Friday) of some serious rioting having taken place at Collumpton, neat Exeter, arising out of the present high prices of corn and other articles of food, and the consequent depression of every description of trade. As we learn, a gathering took place at a village near the town of the woolcombers, operative weavers, and labourers of the place, upon the present high prices of every article of food. The meeting, having been addressed by several persons as to the distressed condition of the people, separated. Immediately after which many hundreds of the mob proceeded to some warehouses in which it was said wheat and other grain had been hoarded, and attempted to set fire to them; these attempts were, how ever, unsuccessful. The residences of several persons at Collumpton, who were obnoxious to the people in conse • quence of their being supposed to be largely engaged in corn speculations, were then surrounded and attacked, the windows were broken, and at one of them many valuable articles of furniture were destroyed, The letters which bring this intelligence state that the rioters had all of them escaped without detection, although the magistrates took steps for preventing further outrages. The rumour in Collumpton market this morning was, that bread riots had occurred in the lower parts of Somersetahire, but we have not yet beat able to learn the particulars. EPSOM RAILWAY.—The facilities of transit afforded by the newly opened line of railway to Epsom will no doubt have the effect of attracting many thousand visitors to the Downs during the ensuing week, who, but for the accommo dation thus afforded, would never have left London. The directors of the Brighton Railway, under whose management the Epsom branch is conductel, have made arrangements to run trains at such frequent intervals each day as will amply provide for all contingencies. Special trains, without stop ping, will leave London-bridge for Epsom four times on Tuesday, Wednesday ; Thursday ry , and Friday , commencing at 5 o'clock i n the morning in a ddition to which 13 ordina ry trains will be di spatc h e d during the forenoon. For the re turn journey trains are to be dispatched from Epsom every en minutes. The " liandelian Operatic Concerts ," announced by Mr. Rophi no Lacy for next week are aWady making some stir among the numerous llandelian devotees in, and out of, the musical world. They certainly hold forth the attraction of novelty ; for half the world are ignorant of Handel having written Italian operas at all. We, how ever, remember two beautiful specimens which were adapted to sacred words, though originally love song., viz. :—" Lord remember David," an d " H o ly, hol v. he following is a cir " THE PRE SENT D ISTRESS . —T cular signed by a great number of the Nobility and Gentry, relative to the present existing distress:" We, the under signed, deeply impressed with the distress which prevails among a great number of our fellow countrymen, in Great Britain and Ireland, from the want of necessary subsistence, and observing that the prices of food are rising, think it our duty to pledge ourselves to reduce in our families, as far as may be practicable, the consumption of bread and flour; and we invite the co-operation of all those who may concur with us in our estimate of the presen t emergency."

Having cu.'s this inspection, the jury were sv‘orn. The coroner and jury then proceeded to the ence °f c o the deceased. The horrible appearance of the sufferers thet a ' never be effaced from the memory of any one who 5 ..1 w ere The skulls of each were beaten to pieces, the i es f r ac driven in, the throats cut, the arms of the two ferrie r i nis so d tured, and the fingers broken to pieces , as if the,, a fro , the hands had in vain been used to prote ct the her es w here fearful blows of the inhuman murerer. The,..r3ethe teeth the bodies were found were pools of d bl o od, in ww c- h and brains of the dead were intermixed. wrait h,aged ar°li 77 o : The names of the sufferers are Mr. James his wife, aged about 70; and their servant girl, C Ellis, aged 21 years. Mr. Wraith was a very respectable ma n, and bad formerly been for many years a steward unde r Samuel Brook, 51.!); by whom he was much and deservedly esteeme d ; but so nic years he has been living on a little property of his Ora; and he occupied his time by cultivatin g about cm acres 01 ' land. At about twelve o'clock on the day of the murder 'he ift seen alive, and at half-past one, or only an hour and a heIJ afterwards his mangled remains, along with those of his WO! and servant girl, were foun d welterin g in their blood, as presenting a sight too horrible to depict. An Irishman of the name of M`Cabe, who had been takes into custody by the police, was brought before the coroner' t° a nd informed of the accusation against him. He objected none of the jury, and appeared perfectly calm. The evidence of the surgeon will give the best descriptioa of this horrible affair. Henry John Watkinson said—l am a surgeon, residig in blirtield. I yesterday went to the house of • the deceas _. at about ten minutes past two o'clock. I found the tkir: bodies exactly in the position and condition described by .7 0 M'Kinnell. I have since, along with Mr. Bradbury, 01,t4 a minute examination of the bodies. On examining tc?_!, of Caroline Ellis, I found the throat cut for about three in ilq in length, from the left to the right. The arteries weri! 43 0 _1 divided, but the trachea was divided, and the cut irited ch ip, reached the vertebrx. There was an incision on ti _c u .,.., skin deep; the upper lip was cut through, and the javy.. l „ derneeth was fractured, and three of the inside teeth ciciin-, out. The injuries must, in my opinion, have been pro a d r e l ; by a blow. Two of the teeth were upon the floor Ile. bone head, and one in the mouth.
