METROPOLIS WATER SUPPLY BILL.

Sir De: L. EVANS moved that it be an instruction to
tho committee on the Metropolis Water Supply Bill to
tJko vi lice and to hear counsel upon the nature of the
undertaking fur funthhing a supply of pure spring
water by the London (Watford) Spring Water Company,

the plans and estimates of which were, by an order of the
house, on the 17th day of June last, referred to the said
committee, and to report thereuson to the house. As it
was nut expected that the bill would be proceeded with this
session it was desirable that the committee should have all
the information they could get.
Sir J. GRAHAM, the chairman of the committee, said
the committee had already derided that these parties had
not a law standi.
The motion was ne.zativeil without a division.
The Hove Improvement Bill was read a third time and
passed.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—WiNcrtmut, JULY 21.
Tin LATE ISLE on WIGHT ELECTION.—CIIAEOE Or

MANSLAUGHTER.
Alfred Pressley, aged 2.5, was indicted for killing and
slaying Thomas Frederick Cole, gentleman, at Ityde,
parish of Newchurch, in the Isle of Wight, on the 26th
of May.
' The case arose out of the late Isle of Wight election,
during which a great deal of excitement prevailed in con-
sequence of the struggle between the free trade and pro-
tectionist parties. The deceased was an attorney acting
fur the protectionist candidate, and after giving his vete
on the day of the election he was pursued through the
street by a large mob. One of the witnesses stated that
prisoner pulled deceased's hair, but not violently, and
this it would seem was the only assault committed on
him. He took refuge in a friend's house, and died almost
immediately after entering it. The medical witnesses
could not speak positively to the cause of death. It
might, in their opinion, have resulted from a shock to
the nervous system, produced by violence, nr, as deceased
bad organic disease of the heart, the fatal result might
have been produced by the exertions which he made to
escape from the mob.
Hie lor.iship put it to the jury to say whether they were
of opinion that the death of the deceased was caused by
fright alone, independently of the slight violence of pulling
the hair. If they answered that question in the affirmative,
they ought to acquit the prisoner; or if they had any doubt
upon it they should come to the same conclusion, and he
would ask them whether they would feel justined in giving
• positive opinion upon a point which the two medical gen-
tlemen would not undertake to speak to.
The jury consulted for a minute and then returned a ver-
dict of Not Guilty.
His lordship said the jury had very properly acquitted
the prisoner, but he hoped this melancholy occurrence
would be a warning to the people of Ryde, and teach them
not to behave in a similar violent way towards persons
whose opinions were obnoxious to them at future elections.

.TH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The official report else :—A thousand deaths were
registred in the metrupditandistricts di the week ondinglast
lieturday, be.n.t a mortality of almost the mute amount a.
was recorded in the previous week. A review of returns
made at the same period in former years wiil show
that the present rate of Mortality is Miler great for the
reason; fur in the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-40 the
deaths were r 900 in all except two eases, and the average
was 812. This average, with a certain addition in propor-
ti in to thz supposed rate of increase in the population, is
gil ; compared with which the 1,000 death. of la.t week
ealairit an excess of 49. The identity or close approxima-
dots of some of the results in the present return to those et
the preceding week is worthy of remark. Last week the
Tyr:odic or epidemic class of disease. numbered 191 fatal
rases, is the previous week 196; the Llama which includes
diseases of Ile brain, spinal marrow, fic., numbered 121
la-t week, and 120 in the previous; dimmesof the heart and
blood-vowels were fatal to 39 persons in either of the last
two weeks, and also the deaths from diseases of the respira-
tory organs amounted both times exactly to 176. Yhthisis,
bronchitis, and pneumonia number restectively 148, 71,
and 40 in the present return ; and 143, .2, and 77 in that
of the preoeding week. Of persons whose age was 60
or upwards, and whose deaths are attributed to old age or
owned dressy, the fatal disease not being better defined, 40
and if are the soothers recorded in the two weeks; but
with vaned to infanta who died from " debility," or pre-
maturity of birth, the discrepancy is great, for while 12
sr- enumerated this week, in the previous there were
only 21.
Lad week the births of 748 boys said GOB girls, in nll
1, t3l chiolren, were registered. 'The average of six corm-

. :MIDI RAILWAY COXrANY.-AI.I.LICATIOX
ttyllT MIME A Jruoirtxt._

Mr. Crowder. 14.0 , moved, on behalf of the defendants,
for a rule to show cause why the judgment which had been
signed in this case should not be set aside. It appeared
that thi re were three railway companies, viz., the Lynn
and Ely, the Lynn and Iluutiugdou, and the Lynn and
Mecham Rxilway Company, and that these three com•
cisnies had been ainalomated, and were afterwaroki known
the name of th; " East Anglian Railway Company."
e Fastens Counties Railway Company had ;weevil
to become the lessees of the East Anglian Railway for
the term of 999 year.. and also to pay the expenses of apply-
ing to parliament to obtain bills for the extension of the line
of the East Anglian Railway Company. The expense of
the application to parliament had amounted to the sum of
21,184/. Ries, which the defendants, however, had refused
to pay, being unwilling to carry out the original contract.
The present action was consequently commenced, to recover
the said sum of 21,134/. Itis., and the plaintiffs had signed
judgment, on the ground that the defendants had not
pleaded issuably. 'The pleas put upon the record by the
efendants were, first, non cat factuni, and that by a recent
set of parliament it had been declared illegal for one rail-
way company to lease their line to another company. With
respect to that plea, it should be stated that the act in ques-
tion only referred to railway companies that had obtained
bill. in the same session in which the act itself was
;lamed. In the present case the East Anglian Railway
Cm:spiny had lowed their line to the defendants before
the set of parliament was passed. The third plea was, that
so the defendants had been unable to procure an act of par-
liament to authorise the construction of some of the
branches of the East Anglian Railway they had abandoned
The the matter altogether. fourth and'last plea was,that this
contract between the plaintiffs and the defendants had been
entered into without the consent of all the shareholders in
the Eastern Counties Rai/way, and therefore it was void.
The learned counsel now sobsaitted that the pleas were
good. and that tha plaintiMs had oommitae4 as irrtgalasity

The total receipts on the corresponding lines being

week of last ycar,thc increase is shown to be 31,8301.
or 25 per cent. The number of miles open was, in
1831, 3,6171,, and in 1850, 3,3334, showing an in-
crease of 2014 miles, or 71 per cent. The average
return per mile per week was, in 1831, 091. 155., and
in 1830,591. 14s. 9d., showing a difference of full 101.
per mile in favour of the present year. Among the
chief lines there is a very remarkable augmentation
in the London and North. Western, South Western,
Great Western, South Eastern, and Brighton.
The North Western return must be regarded
as peculiarly good, as it has for some weeks
stood steadily at its present high range.
The sudden rise in the Great Western and
London and South Western is in a great measure
owing to the Royal Agricultural Society's show at
Windsor, whilst the receipts on the former line have
been further swelled by the Abingdon and Itsley
Races. The last year's return of the South Western,
with which the present is compared, was also a good
one, as it included the Salisbury Races. The Mid-
land still shows a decrees*, although there must
have been a considerable accession of movemenharising
out of the anniversary of the opening of the Arbore-
tum at Derby. which is regarded as one of the greatest
annual festivals of the Midland Counties, cheap ex-
cursion trains running on all the lines leading to
Derby. The return on this line in both years also
includes the Nottingham races. The falling off in
the Midland receipts is doubtless partly attributable
to the ruinous competition which it is now carrying
on with the Great Northern in certain districts.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The supply of Beasts is larger than the demand, in con-
sequence it is difficult to effect • clearance at Monday's
quotations. We have a large quantity of middling Lambs
on offer, which make a very low price ; the choicest kinds
make about the same as of late, but trade is slow. The
number of Sheep is not very large, and they make fully as
much as on Monday. Calves are again plentiful, and prices
are lower. From Germany and Holland there are 174
Beasts, 1,400 Sheep, 348 Calves, and 40 Pigs. Spain, 730
Sheep; Scotland, 80 Beasts; Norfolk and Suffolk, 200;
Leicester and Northampton, 200; and 132 Mulch Cow.

THE HUNGARIAN CAPTIVES.—A memorial from

iinplorim his lordship to use his utmost endeavours to pro-

their companions, and a reply has been received to the effect
that her Majesty's government arc continuing to use their
good offices with the Turkish government to effect the
object indicated in the memorial.
Tim LAW OF BURIAL—Some months ago, says a
correspondent, a memorial addressed to the Archbishops
and Bishops of the provinces of Canterbury and York upon
the present unsatisfactory state of the law of burials, was
extensively circulated amongst the clergy. The result is,
that about 4,000 of this body have attached their signatures
thereto, and the committee who were charged with the
management of it have presented it to the archbishops and
bishops. No official reply has yet been given, but it is
understood that many of the right rev. prelates have signi-
fied their willingness to attend to the requisition, and have
expressed their approbation of its object.

MADRID, JULY 19.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate
opened on the bill for the settlement of the floating
debt. Pastor moved for fuller data ; some of these
having been laid on the table by Bravo Murillo, the
motion was withdrawn. Sol y Padris, a protectionist
deputy of Catalonia, opposed the bill, and suggested
a system for controlling the action of the government
in this branch of finance. M. Sol proved that the
floating debt, estimated by Bravo Murillo at
2,340,0001., was in reality 4,240,0001. This sum
would have been converted into three per cent. bonds
to the great prejudice of the creditors of the state.
The surplus of 340,0001., upon which the president of
tho council reckoned for a sinking fund to be applied
to the liquidation of the floating debt, had no real
existence whatever in the budget; and thus the con-
version, which he (M. Sol) protested against, must in
the end be resorted to if this bill

IRELAND.

DCSLIN, Jets' IL
The Lord Lieutenant takes his departure, Ms
morning, from Kingstown for Holyhead, en rouge
for London. Various profound speculations have
been afloat for several days past as to the object of
this journey, but I believe the fact simply is, that his
excellency goes over to see the Exhibition. The
steamer Prince Arthur has been placed at his excel-
leney's service on this occasion.
Lord Arundel's friends have bad a clear start of
his lordship's rather formidable rival in Limerick,
and have niade good use of the opportunity in can-
raining the electors. They boast that they have not
received a single refusal. Mr. Rummell has arrived in
Limerick and commenced his canvass. Both parties
have opened committee rooms, and commenced pro-
ceedings in a style which promises a spirited contest.
Mr. Russell is undoubtedly popular with all parties,
and will have on this occasion the undivided support
of the protestant and conservative electors, besides
that of many undecided Roman catholics. His
channw of success are, therefore, by no means slight.
Mr. ()'Flaherty, M.P., and Nit-. Keogh, M. l'.,
are to he entertained at a public dinner at the ap-
proaching Galway asaizes.
At the Limerick ossitni yesterday, a man and
woman, named Michael Hanley and Mary Fahey-,
were convicted of the murder of the male prisoner's
wife. Ilw case has excited some interest from the
atrocity of the circumstances under which the crime
was committed. The body of the unfortunate de-
coaxed was found one morning, some months ago,
immersed in the canal, with a large stone fastened
in her dress, and her head battered in so frightful
a manner with blunt instruments, that it was only
by her clothes that it could be recognised. The
prisoners were paramours, and from the evidence it
appeansl that the male prisoner induced his wife to
go with to a solitary place near the canal on
the night of the murder, while the female prisoner
followed close after, and helped to commit the
murder. Tito sentence has not yet been pronounced
on them.

The reaction in shares continues, the I;W:if*,
ruling having brought in a much larger proportion
of orders to purchase. The market to-day
wears a decidedly better appearance, and quota-
tions have again assumed a higher range,
at which they seem firm. In nearly every case
where busiuess has been done higher figures have
been conceded, but the improvement is most peroep-
tible in Lancashire and Yorkshires, Midlands, Lon-
don and North Westerns, South Eastern, Berwicks,
York andNorthMidlands, and Caledonians. Brighton
shares have been little affected by the proceedings at

WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY.

- •
The public sales of colonial and other Wool, which com-
menced on Thunder, consist chiefly of 33,500 bales of
Australian, Port Philip, and Cape; 1,500 East India; and
a small quantity of Buenos Ayres, Mogadore, and
Egyptian. The attendanc, of buyers from the manu-
facturing districts is numerous, and, considering the
large quantity exposed for sale, prices arc good. It will bo
remembered that at the close of the last sale prices went a
trifle lower, and at these rates the present sales hive opened.
.1 fair amount of spirit is at present shown in the bieldingi.
It is noticed that the increase of this branch of business
has compelled the parties carrying it on to provide increased
accommodation for the buyers. The number of persons
lattending these sales, the quantity of Wool sold, and the
continued high prices, speak well for the prosperity of the
woollen trade. The sales will be continued about three
weeks. The imports of the week arc 230 bales from the
Cape, 2 front Hamburg, and 1,372 from Port Philip,

THE INQUEST.

The inquest on view of the bodies of Mr. Mcynell and
Mr. Blake was opened nt the Commercial Inn, Chester.
field, this (Tuesday) afternoon, before 11. Hutchinson, Esq.,
coroner, and a highly respectable jury. Mr. Macauley,onc
of the solicitors to the Midland Company ; Mr. W. Smith,
one of the directors; and Mr. Saunders, the traffic manager,
were present, representing the company. The jury having
been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies, which lay at the
railway station ; they then returned to the inn.
I'resious to the commencement of the proceedings, Mr.
Macauley, solicitor, said at that stage of the proceedings lie
would not say more than that the company desired as much
as any one present that the matter should receive the
fullest and fairest investigation.
Mr. 11. E. Walker was the first witness.—l am a surgeon,
at Chesterfield. I knew the late Mr. Me dl. I was
called to the scene of the accident last night about a quar-
ter past eleven. A short distance this aide of the clay
cross tunnel I saw the body of Mr. Neyncil, which was
pointed out to me by one of the porters. The body was
lying on the embankment on the right side of the line. Ile
was quite dead. I have since examined the body, and
find extensive effusion of blood from both ears, considerable
echymosis and discoloration of the shoulders extending to
the loins, and very severe compound fractures of both
legs, that of the right extending to the knee joint. The
immediate cause of death was severe concussion of the
brain. From the position and appearance of the body, he
had pitched upon his head. I saw Mr. Blake near where
the accident occurred. Ile was quite conscious, but had uo
power whatever of moving the lower part of his body or
leg.. lie wits very much exhausted and depressed, and
complained of injury to the spine. We had him removed
into a van, but he died on his way. to Chesterfield. The
immediate cause of his death was injury to the brain.
By one of the Jury.—l cannot say accurately how far
the accident occurred from the Clay Cross station, but I
should think the bodies were about a hundred yards front
the station. Mr. Blake was quite sensible, and gave ra-
tional answers to the questions I &pistil.
Mr. James Blake, of Sheffield, identified the body of his
brother, Mr. John Blake, who he stated was 34 years of
age, and was returning home from a journey at the time of
the accident. . . . . .

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY
TO ANIMALS held their annual meeting yesterday at the
Hanover-square-rooms. The Martens of Westminster
(chairman) hiving mule a few prefatory remarks on the
society, and its condition and progress, the report for the
last year was read. It congratulated the society on the
extension of the law for the prevention of cruelty to animals
to Scotland, on the removal of Smithfield market, on the
activity and the organization of branch societici in various
parts of the British empire, glad on the extension of the
infiu,nee of the society abroad, especially in France. The
committee had received a donation of 1,4281., being the
seventh part of a sum of 10,0001., lett by the late Mr. Lewis,
of Cadogan-place, for charitable purposes. The attempt of the
society to prevent cruelty to animals, and to prosecute those
who practised such cruelty, had been eminently successful in
must cast., but in many instances the objects of the society
were defeated by the lowness of the tines. Tht income of
the society from interest or funded property, donations, and
subscriptions amounted to 2,2901. 13s. 6d., and the expen-
diture of the last year was LAI& 18s. 6d., leaving a surplus
of 4911. 14s. 10d. in the treasurer's hands. The Earl of
Lanesborough having moved that the r.•port be adopted
and printed, the assembly was addressed by Mr. Thomas
Allen, who impugned the proceedings, and generally criti-
cised the conduct of the committee. Mr. Allen's remarks
elicited signs of displeasure from the meeting, and his accu-
sations were rebuttad by Mr. Oranville Berkeley, M.P.,
and Mr. John Wilkes, on behalf of the committee. The
proceedings terminated with addresses from Sir James East
end Lord Dudley Stuart.

The difference in favour of the latter year is caused
by the augmentation on colonial sugar, the duty on
which amounted to 2,639,506 fr., whereas in this year
it reached only 1,526,621 fr. The import duties for
the first four months of 1851 amount to 36,426,215 fr.,

still at Oporto, and was daily less able to control the
revolutionary movement, which would be satisfied
with nothing less than the abdication of the Queen.
In the meantime the absence of a settled authority
was a source of universal alarm. Saldanha had not
yet succeeded in forming a ministry. 'fine foreign
representatives had. as yet, abstained from all de-
monstration: but the fear of anarchy promoted a
tendency to reaction.

CHURCH-STNEET.

The verdict given at the inquest on the bodies of
the men who were killed by this occident appeared in part
only of our impression of yesterday. It was that the
" deeemed met their deaths from t►e falling of part of •
building which appears by the evidence to have been caused
by the accidental breaking of one of the iron girders."
Mr. Stevens said the opinion of the jury should be com-
municated to the city architect.
' Ms. Cox said the gentlemen engaged had signed a certifi-
cate which he read. It was to the effect that the orkmen
employed had exerted themselves in the most active and
humane manner to rescue the men injured and killed by
the accident, and that they desired to testify their admira-
tion of them and their approbation of the arrangement of
the police.
The Foreman of the jury stated that the inquest had
assigned 61. towards the subscription for the relief of

The Madrid journals of the 15th, announce the
defeat by a progressist of M. Bravo Murillo, presi-
dent of the council, in the election at Barcelona, and
of Count San Luis, ex-Minister of the Interior, in the
district of Cuenca.

A letter from Madrid, of the 13th, says : " There are
numerous reports in circulation on the subject of a
modification in the ministry. It is said that MM.
Artela and Gonzales Itoniero will be replaced.
Many people, however, who profess to he well informed
on the subject, say that no change will take place
until after the opening of the session of the Cortes.
MM. Scijas, Mayans, ilenavides, and Gonzalo Moron
are spoken of as the persons who would come into
the cabinet in the event of any change being made.
M. Scijas would represent the moderate imposition ;
M. Mayans the independent friction of the (lumber;
and M. Moron or M. Benavides the old conservative
opposition."
