The proceedings of this c o mmittee were read, from which it apppared that the number in the house was on the 10th instant, 1,874. In the sick 'wards there were 470, including 42 fever cases, and six itch eases. On the flame elate the vagrants were 236 maiss, 100 females, and 47 children —total, 383. The proceedings of the committee were confirmed. TIIIC INDUSTRIAL SQROOLS. The proceedings of t'4l4 committee were read. Mr. B I+ STOW moved that they be adopted, Mr. DgNrorr, before these proceedings are passed, allow me to a k one or two questions Some six months ago, I brought before the committee tae subject of the piggeries. I now wish to ask the committee whether it is their intention to take that matter into their consideration, and to know whether the piggeries are to - remain ? I also wish to know whether the Roman Cflatholic children still refuse to sing the little hymn before wad after meals ? If they do so. I this k it is an Bet of insthlrdination, and that the resolution enforcing should either be enforced or rescinded alt , ge her. BArttsrow : With regard V - ) the piggeries If Mr. Denton had paid proper utten` ion to the proceedings of this Board, he would have form 3 enat the-subject had been taken into consideration, and 'it bad been decided that the present piggeries should no' ; be altered, but that they should remvn in the present State. Mr. DENTort : I milli! not 7 la^.° been present. Mr. BAtasrow 'With rerslro to the chaunting of the little prayer, the committee had found that by the instruc tions of the Poor-law Board the grace was to be said and not sung, and they had th 3refore, in accordance with those instructions, directed th? the 'grace shmld be said, and such was done in the prk4 ,sense of the children. Mr. D SNTO:q : And I • suppose all the children utter the response. Mr. BAIRSTOW : Res - ponsestre not necessary. The subject then dr pped. THE fiICAME COMM,TTXR. The proceedi' g7of this calamittee having been read, Mr. WOODRUFF /no ved that they should be c3rtfirraed, and in doing so eta' Ad that he S hould ask the Vestry to allow him to postpot le the motion of which he had given notice of, with respe et to the collectors of cottage property, until the next meetit ig, by which time heshould be prepared with more details, I lad for that time the service would not suffer. He next rt Arred to , tae reports from the medical officers of the diffe tent districts, from which it appeared that during the wi sek, ending Friday last, there had not been one case of c aoler 1 in tho town, andthe believed very few fever cases. ' That state of things he considered very satisfactory. He then alluded to a subject that had been mooted at the B, and some months since, as to the necessity of giving seven cl• 'ye' notice of any special subject that was to be brought ut tder their consideration, end the opinion taken was the the Testy had laitHerto pursued the right and proper course ; and, in conclusion, he again referred to the necessity that existed for keeping cart ain harmless lunatics in the workhouse, instead ot send log them to a lunatic asylum, as they had tr.rery accommodation for them, and it would be a great saying i;o the parish. He also referred to the crowded state of the asylums to which they were in the habit of sendicg their pauper lunatics, and-concluded by moving a rosol..tit in to the effect, that the ;Vestry ask the visiting magietra.ms to increase the accommodation at Rainhi:l, which wr , aid enable then to effect a considerable saving to the parish. Mr. B.:-.11:1.TOW seecoded the motion, which was adopted. A conversation then arose as to the legeity of Mr. Denton being -a surety fur a collector named Thompson, which resulted in the Clerk stating that the' Poor Law Board had, on a previous occasion, been consulted on the subject, and they had replied that such a course was un desirable, but it4a-as not illegal. .Mr. Denton declined to withdraw from being the surety. Mr. Iviroonaur said that the Poor Law Board had re ported in favour of the Vestry appointing their own collectors, and an7ised the Board on all occasions to maintain its rights, and not give in to any general Board. Taz WALTON BURILL..GDOUND. A conversation then took place on the subject of having the Walton, Burial Ground placed under the control of the Burial Board, Mr. Jgckion observing that the Board was perfectly willing, no that an act of Parliament was formed enabling them to do so, to undertake its manage ment. The CIikIRMAN thought that something' should be done to make it more available for the parishioners. and ex pressed his readiness to eoncur in any movement by which that cpuld be secured. There beiskg no other business, the Board adjourned. BANKRUPTS. By Brit,ish and Irish Magnetic Tele6raph Thomas Eldridge, Upper North-p?ac•, coach maker. Nathaniel liadaore, Hammet, Cardiff, grocer.

Mr. Andrew Stewart, editor of the Steubenville (Ohio) (;pion, who has lately been travelling through Kansas Territory, arrived at this place on Monday evening, hav ing departed L' , avenworth City on Saturday night, the Ist inst., and favoured us with particulars of a fearful tragedy enacted on Friday night and Saturday morning at that city. Ott Friday night, the 31st ult„ a man named Stephens, living in Kansas City, came up to Leavenworth City, and, while spreeing around, went into a drinking shop called the Ward House. The barkeeper, named Baines, became very friendly, and after getting Stephens quite drunk, proposed a walk up the river, and took him to a spring on the bank of the Missouri river, just above the Planter's House, where they were met and assaulted by two men, who demanded their money or their lives. The barkeeper, Baines, gave his money up and ran off. When he got to the lower end of town, he gave the alarm that a man was being robbed up the river at the spring. Several patties of citizens immediately went up, and arrived on the spot Jost in time to find poor Stephens crawling out of the river, his body and head all beaten and bruised with stones and clubs, and his chest and shoulders bearing several terrible stabs and cuts. The citizens ran to his assistance, but the unfortunate victim, though straggling to speak, was too far gone, and presently died., without being able to utter a single word about the manner of his death, or the names of his murderers. Suspicion at once alighted upon the barkeeper, Baines, and so outraged were the people, and so violent the presumptions of his guilt that a posse of the citizens at once arrested and held him in close custody. The news in the meantime spread like wildfire all over the city, and the excitement grew intense. An itramediate - trial of Baines was demanded, and finally it was agreed-that he should be hung on the spot, without judge; or jury. A. rope wan secured and put round his neck, and already he was being drawn up to the limb of atte.verhanging tree, when he expressed a wish to make a confession. The crowd yielded and let him down to the gre,und. He said that he-nnd two men, one named John Quarlea, from South Carolina, and the other called Knowlton, had laid the plot by which Stephens was robbed and murdered, and that the same men had mur &red another man a short time before, and thrown the body into the Missouri 'River. He stated also that he and the men Knowlton and gearles belonged to an organised body of about twenty five men. who lived and carried on the business of robbing and murdering in Leavenworth City, on the island opposite the city, and in the towns of Lawrence and Topeka. He then gave the names of as many of the gang as he could remember to the authorities. As soon as Baines had finished his reve lations he was removed to the calaboose, a one-story stone building, about sixteen feet square. The crowd then went off in pursuit of Quarles and Knowlton, and in a short time had them arrested. Among the revealed conspirators was William Woods, the proprietor of the greater part of Leavenworth Island, and regarded by his acquaintanc aas an hoen,t man andgoed citizen. i party proceeded at once to arrest him, and after making a thorough search of his house, found twenty-five hundred dollars in counterfeit money, a lot of counterfeiting plates and other instruments, and a knife and pistol belonging to the murdered man, Stephens. At these conclusive proofs of the correctness of the confession of Baines, the people were deeply moved, and held counsel together in large and small parties during the whole night. We give the narrative of Mr. Stewart. He says: "I went to the Mayor's office on Saturday morning and foetid an immense crowd awaiting the result of the examination of Woods and Knowlton. Barnes and Qearles were in the cala boose. While the examination was going on Jude Lecompte was outside making a speech, and expostulating with the angry crowd in' favour of law and order. The cry of • Hang 'em, the d—d murderers l' arose frequently from the mob, but milder counsels seemed to be prevail ing, when at once some one shouted 'To the calaboose to the calaboose!' and away a crowd of about fifty maddened men started in that direction. The balance of the people followed after in smaller parties, leaving Judge Lecompte almost alone, and the Mayor's office relieved of its throng of spectators. They had been gone about fifteen minutes, when I heard a great yell. I started after the crowd, and followed it to the bank of a creek, which divides south ani north Leavenworth, where there was a steep bank, and on its edge a large elm tree. I reached the spot in time to see Quarles suspended from the tree, grasping in the agonies of death at the rope which was around his neck, while several of the mob were swinging on to his arms and legs, to make his death sure. His body had hardly ceased its convulsions when the shout was raised for Baines. The rope was placed around his neck, and he was led to the edge of the bank, when some one of the citizens appeared by his side, and with a watch in his hand, demanded five minutes for further confessions. They granted it ; when Baines said, if they would let him, he would show them another man in town who was concerned in the operations of the gang. He was then taken to the calaboose, but for some reason did not give satisfaction to the people, and they demanded his body to be returned to them. Judge Lecompte again addressed the people, and with some effect, for they seemed to divide into two parties, the one clamoring for the hanging of the prisoner, and the other demanding a trial for him. Marshal Denis, of the Territory, was also present, and though he exerted himself with all his power, he could not maintain his position at the door of the calaboose, ner prevail on the crowd to disperse. The wife of Baines, also, appeared, and, inspired by the dangerous situation of her husband. took a heroic stand on the entrance, and endeavoured by frantic threats and entreaties to stay the wrath of the populace. But all efforts were unavailing; the peace party were overpowered. Judge Lscompte's voice was drowned by the shrieks of the mob. A large piece of hewn timber, perhaps twenty-five feet long and one foot anuare, that was lying near, was lifted up by a.crowd of men, and plunged with fearful effect against the calaboose door. The sight of the wife's distress, and the sound of her screams, mingled with the ragings and shrieks of the infuriated mob, was too much for me, and I turned my back and walked away. I heard another blow from the piece of timber, and a simultaneous shout from the crowd, which told me that the door bad given way, and the prisoner was at the mercy of the people. I walked hastily around the square, or with all its terror there was a fascination in the sight, and reached the spot just in time to see the mob rushing down the street, with the prisoner, toward the creek and the elm tree. I pursued, and when I reached the spot the body of Baines was already in the air, and his last death struggles were shivering along his limbs. The crowd then appeared to be satisfied. Woods and Knowlten meanwhile had been placed in an omnibus and hurried off to the fort. The city continued very much excited up to the hour I left, but no further violence was anticipated. All sorts of stories prevailed, and many of the mysterious disappearances and robberies which have occurred in the t erritory are all being referred to this band of murderers. T'wo or more of the gang were at once apprehended and taken into town. :One of them, quite a youth, named pa yne, made a full confession of the deed, and also of the nuinerous achievements of the gang. The crowd kept Quarles and Payne for the purpose of finding e►idence suffiteient to convict them of the crime. After conside deralile deliberation, and the delivery of a speech by Judge Lecompte, who endeavoured to quiet the excite. rent, t he crowd, fearing interference from the troops in the fort, took Quarles to a tree below town and hung him soon aftttr. Payne shared -the same fate. On Sunday, as.we pawed down, the ringleader, whose name is Wood, and,eue Knight, or Knighton, were in the hands of the enraged people, and were to be inang on Sunday afternoon. Wood was making his will, and his comrade, Knight, was writing a confession. Wood is supposed to be very well off, pralabiy from success in his diabolical undertakings. We did reot learn the name of those who were implicated as confede rates by the youth who confessed. It is worthy of remark, however, that some twelve ,or thirteen citizens could not t'te found when inauired after on Sunday.— Meeeneee Des tocrat. ;Exclusively for CLOTHING BOYS from 6 to 20 Year® bEwra & CO NI PANY, I(anelagh street: Two SEAMEN DROWNED NEAR FLBSTWOOD.-otl Satur day, Mr. Myres held an inquest at Fleetwood-on the holy of the captain and mate of the echo nEr Miry Ann, of Liverpool, who were found drowned on the shore at Fleet wood on the previous day. On Thursday evening, about 11 o'clock, the two unfortunate gentlemen left the shore in a small boat, with the intention of proceeding to the schooner, which was lyinz at anchor in the river Wyre, and during the forenoon of the fallowing day their bodies and the boat were washed ashore. It is supposed that the boat must have been overturned with them, as it was found bottom upwards on the north wharf, opposite Lindsay's farm. Nothing was heard or seen of them on Thursday night by the crew on board the schooner. Verdict, " Found drowned." Tend LATE ASSASSINATI. )N IN THE QUEEN'S FAISON Mr. Robert Henderson Robertson. the victim of the assaasie.like attack of the man D 3 Salvi, who was tried at the Central Criminal Court on Friday, and convicted of the offence of striking with intent to do bodily harm, died on Saturday evening at seven o'clock, after lingering more than six weeks sub3fqnent to the dreadful injuries he received. It will appear a remarkable circumstance, when the dangerous condition of Mr. Robertson is con sidered, and the repeated declarations of the medical at tendant that he was in imminent danger, that the trial of the assassin should have taken place within one day of the death of his vic - ina. We know not to whom this hasty prc ceeding is to be attributed, or what sort of report as to the state of Mr. Robertson could have been furnished to the au thorities, to justify a trial before the result of his injuries was finally known. Had Mr. Robertson's death taken place one day earlier, De Salvi would have been tried for mur der, and as his conviction might be regarded as certain, his sentence. instead of being fifteen years penal servitude, would doubtless have been death. Some explanation is urquestionably 4tie to the public on a matter so materially affecting the administration of justice. BYTB' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE, At LIMIS & COM PAYVA.

A further advance of* per cent. has taken place in the funds to-lay, although business continues very quiet. The demand for discount accommo dation in certain circles is tolerably active, yet on the whole, the Money Market continues to ex• hibit favourable indications, and in Lombard street the current terms for the negotiation of first class commercial bills are still below that exacted at the National Establishment. The arrival of the Great Britain, and the expectation that at least a third of the amount received will be sold to the authorities, have tended to relieve the market; but the favourable reports relative!, to the harvest may be considered to exercise a more important in fluence than the mere daily variations of supply and demand. Towards the end of the week, pre parations for the approaching 4th of the month will be commenced, and thus a further diminution in the quotations out of doors will probably be prevented. Even the most sanguine do not antici pate a lower minimum during the present year. as the commercial requirements towards the winter always increase, and it is hoped that the course of affairs will not lead to increased stringency. Un satisfactory opinions are still expressed with regard to the probable effect on the Indian revolt upon our monetary relations. It is stated that a con siderable addition to the army is in contemplation and that an increased grant will be asked for the militia service before the rising of parliament, which, if true, will necessarily augment the apprehension felt upon this subject. As intimated above, the Funds have been much firmer to-day, and Consols for Money closed at 90,1 to 901, while for the Account the closing rate was 90* to 91, and the New Three per Cents at 917 i to 911. There was not much business done in the London Railway Share Market to-day, yet prices were very well supported. The following were the closing quotations :—Caledonian, 791; Eastern Counties, 111, lli; East Lancashire, 95, 97; Great Northern A, 89, 91 ; Great Western, 53k, 53f ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 991 ; Leeds Northern, 461 47*; London and North Western, 102*, 1021; London and South W, stern, 944 ; Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 30k, ; Midland St ok, 831, 841 ; South Eastern and Dover, 711 72 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 94 3 / 4 , 95; York and North Midland, 781, 79. From Manchester we learn that buyers find great difficulty in placing their orders, even at per lb advance, producers preferring to close uld contracts. The business in Breadstuffs during the last few days has ruled extremely quiet, V, heat sell ing slowly, and Flour quite in retail, at barely previous prices. Oats, Oatmeal, Egyptian Beans, and Barley have attracted but little attention ; and Indian Corn, in the absence of all activity, has exhibited a tendency to decline in value. At to-day's market there was only a moderate attendance, and a limited demand for Wheat, at a decline on the week of 31 to 41 per 70 lbs for red, and 2d for white. There were several sam ples of new Irish, of which white realised from 8s 9d to 9s ld ; but red was offered at 8s to 8s Si per bushel, without inducing business. Flour met a very slow sale, at a reduction of 6d to is per sack and barrel. Oats : A moderate enquiry for old at about former rates. New Tawny were quite unsaleable. Oatmeal was in small request, and new 61 per load cheaper. Egyptian Beans moved off in retail at previous quotations. Bar ley remained without change. In Indian Corn no transactions of importance took place ; the value of white did not suffer any decline, but holders of mixed and yellow submitted to a re duction on the week of 6d to is per quarter. Several railway meetings were held yesterday. The report of the Epsom and Leatherhead Com pany was passed. The report stated that the bill for the construction of a line to join the South Western Company's line at Wimbledon and run into this company's line at Epsom, had received the royal assent, which gives the traffic of this company access to the stations at Nine Elms, Vauxhall, and Waterloo, as well as the London and Brighton Station at London-bridge. The contract with Messrs. Brassey and Ogilvie had been signed, and provides fur the completion of the railway and works by the Ist January next. From the state ments of receipts and expenditure to 30th Jnne last, the sum received for calls amounted to 6,107/ 6s, and the expenditure incurred in obtaining the act, land, and compensation, salaries, and law charges, amounted to 4,70.9/ 14s sd. The report of the Wimbledon and Dorking Company stated that the Royal Assent was given to the Act of Incorporation on 'July 27, 1857. In both Houses of Parliament the bill was strenuously opposed by the Brighton and the South Western Railway Conpanies ; the latter company, after an unavailing opposition, en tered into an agreement, by which it was arranged that this company should make the railway with a double line of rails throughout, and with sufficient station and sidiug accornm:dation, and finish it with all appliances for working except rolling stock and station furniture. That the South Western Company should man and work the line and main tain the railway for 45 per cent. of the gross receipts. That the South Western Company should have the option to subscribe for fifteen hundred shares, and nominate two directors to sit at the board. The South Western Railway Company have subscribed for their proportion of the capital, and the directors have much pleasure in reporting that every share in the company is disposed of. The directors have received a tender from contractors of undoubted responsibility stipulatin b for the completion of the line by the Ist of May next, and the company are already negociating for the purchase of land with a view to the immediate ccimmencem(nt of the works. The particulars of the disbursements to the present time have not yet been oer tained, but it iv, estimated that they will not exceed in the aggregate £4,200. It was unanimously adopted. At the meetiug of the Gee long and Ballarat Company, at their offices in London, the Chairman read a communication from Mr. Moorsom, the agent to the company in Aus_ tralia, in which that gentleman stated that, not withstanding all exertions, the Colonial Govern ment had refused to give a guarantee of 6 per cent as required. Mr. Paravicni then moved a resolu tion to the effect that the chairman and officers of the company be instructed to forthwith wind up its affairs. Mr. Froom seconded the resolution. Some discussion ensued, in which the Chairman said he thought they would not be able to return more than is per share, and the motion was carried. At the meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company, the terms granted by the East India Company were submitted, and were considered highly satisfactory, being equivalent to a guarantee of 10 per cent. It was also the general feeling that the existing circumstances of India, and the pros pects of the supply of cottpn, alike demand the introduction of an efficient and extensive system of steam navigation upon the rivers, such as this company contemplate.

Of the 104 400 sovereigns brought by this vessel about 80 000 are known to be English, and will certainly be sent into the Bank. The rest are also believed to be of home coinage. Looking, however, at the state of the Continental demand for gold, which is at present far from active, there is a good prospect that nearly the whole of the amount by the Great Britain will be retained here. This is partly attributable to the fact that there are in hand large supplies of gold received from Arne' ica, which is more redily taken for the Con tinent than the Australian gold. We believe that the bulk of the £104,000 in gold ex the Magdalena has now been sold for exportation. Of the remit tance by the Ariel from New Yor't about £37,000 reached London, and of this £15,000 consisting of American eagles, is known to have been taken for the Continent. These twolat.t.. r vessels, it will be re membered, arrived last week. Vesterd ry was £60.000 announced the arrival of £lOO,OOO (besta, for the Continent) by the Europa, from 1.T 4 , w York. This amount is expected to come to hang to-day. Advices from Paris slate that money is easy on the Bourse, and that the charge for carrying over the accounts of speculative holders to the end of September does not exceed 30e. to 302 c , or about 5-16 per cent. In the discount market also money is in good supply, and choice bills can be discounted at 41- to 5 tier cent., the minimum charge of the Bank of France being 5-1 per cent. It is stated, however, that the bullion in the Bank has diminished by several millions of francs since the date of the last return, but that the note circula tion and bills discounted have also decreased. The suspension of Mr. Thomas Stewart, a manu facturer of Stockport, is announced, but the lia bilities do not appear to greatly exceed 20,0001., A composition of lOs in the pound is stated to have been offered.

The finest possible weather still influences our market, and we note a decline this morning, from the rates of this day week. of 2d to 3d in the value of white foreign wheats (which are scarce), and 3d to 4d per 701bs on good qua lities of red: at this reduction we have experienced rather more inqutry, though on the whole but a moderate busi ness has been done ; several parcels of new Irish undried wheat are offered, the quality fair, but short of condition ; the white sold at 93 and the red at 8s 6d to 8s Bd per 701bs. Although the farmers, in all directions around us, are now actively engaged in carting wheat, a fair show of new samples appeared for sale to-day, and the quality and condition being generally fine, a fair portion was disposed of at 83 6d to 8s 9d for red, and 8s 9d to 9s 31 per 701bs for white. But little is doinLin flour, and we quote is to is 6d per barrel cheaper. Weans are steady at our recent quotations. Old oats are Id, new 21 per buseel; and new oatmeal Is per load lower. Indian corn continues almost without inquiry, American mixed and yellow receding Is, and Mediterranean Is 61 per quarter ; white corn nominally unchanged.
