STEAM C034111-NICATION ItErWEEN ENGLAND AND
TR) MAritittr..—The special commitrei• of the council of
geveraient having had under their coneideration the pro-
position of the lieneral Screw Steam Shipping Company
or extending to the Mauritius the communication with the
Cape of flood Hope, have reported that the proposed
arraneement world not meet the vielf4 of the inhabitants of
the Mauritius. The S.row Steam Company were prepared, in
the event of their offer for the establishment of the line to
the Cape heinr au...elite& to extend a branch to the Mauri-
tius, touching at A 17.04 Bay and l'nrt Natal—the voyage to
be performed in .kr days. For this service they would de-
mand rerun: ration at the rate of tA. 10d. a mile for the
distance traversed. At this rate the annual cost for the
monthly conveyance of the mail between the Nlauritius and
the Cape would he 11,013.Y.,:calculating the di,tauee at 2,410
miles; and the further cost for the extension from the Mau-
ritius to Ceylon, 2,1e42 mike, would be 9,5117., making a
total of 211,602.1 per annum. The committee are of opinion
that this sum is wholly disproportionate to the means of the
colony. The committee report that regular and .toady
communication with India is of nearly as much importasee
as communication with England—the imports from India
being eqii..l to I t per cent. of the whole merchandise im-
y The committee are strongly iu
d into
avourr otht'
ehes. ent of steam communication, at
141,1. a mile, between Ceylon and the Mauritius, and
urge upon the S. cretory of State the essential importance
of coinhitlim: with any scheme for steam communication be-
tween the Mauritius and England, a similar communication
with India.

THE Hun SHERIFF OF SUFFOLK AG tIN IN A
DILCSISIa.—The High Sheriff. it will no doubt be remem-
bered, was in March last placed in rather Jul awkward
position, consequent upon a hangman not being obtainable
to carry into execution the last sentence of the law upon
Maria Clarke, fur the munler of her illegitimate child, by
burying it alive. Fortunately for the Sheriff, on that occa-
sion, a reprieve Caine down ter the unfortunate woman two
days before that which her execution was to have taken
place. At the assizes, held tit Ipswich on the inst.,
Maria Emily Cage was eentemed to undergo the penalty of
death for the murder of her huebano, James Cage, by ad-
ministering arsenic to hint. Iler execution IFS% ordered to
take plate at Ipswich on Saturday next, in front of the
County Gaol, but the ',Me difficulty presented itself as
in March. Caleraft, the hangman, on being applied to,
could not attend, as he had promised to perform a
similar office at Norwich. Application was then made
to the hangman at Warwick gaol, but that functionary
replied that hr was unable to give his attendance in conse-
quence of his having engaged himself to perform a like
office at Shtewsbury on Saturday. Application was next
made to the Secretary of State, setting forth the unpleasant
position in which the high Sheriff of Sof ilk was placed,
and requesting that the execution of Maria Emily Cage
might he postponed. The answer from the Secretary of
State was, to the effect that the application could not be
entertained, thus leaving the High Sheriff to get out of the •
difficulty as he best could. The result is, that he has on
his own responsibility ordered the execut oa to be delayed
until an early day next week, to suit the convenience of
Calcraft. The unhappy culprit appears to be resigned to
her fate, hut protests her innocence. Her sons and daughters
had a final interview with her pstenlay.—John Mickle-
burah, of Ihnuideatone, who is now in the same gaol,
awaiting his trial at the forthcoming assizes ou u charge of
murdering Mary Eaker, his servant girl, by stabbing her
with a knife, is in a very low and desponding state, and
able to take but little food. It is not improbable before the
time arrives for Lis trial, he will have ceased to live.
THE OLD IlorsE or COMMONS. This ancient
fabric is about to he pulled down and the materials dis-
pmed of. The furniture and fittings are in the course of
being removed, and when the house is fairly gutted out the
shell is to be diapuseil of in lots by public auction. The
chamber was at first, and for a long period of time, used as
the House of Lords, and after the chapel of St. Stephen
was destroyed by fire. the Lords removed to what was
called the painted chamber, and the Commons took posses-
Moo. For sixteen or seventeen years the deliberations of
the representatives of the people were carried on in the
condemned building, which externally looks more like a
large stable or riding school than a senate house. When
the Lords were ejected from the chamber they took refuge
in the painted chamber, and when the new House of Lords
was completed. they flitted, leavirg behind them a bare
and unsightly room. In the house just about so be pulled
down, several of the greatest parliamentary battles of the
last half century have been fought, and several of the lead-
ing combatants have plumed from the busy scene—some after
a ling life of public activity and usefulness, to the retire-
ment of private life ; and others to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns. The rising generation of le-
gislators have made their exit from the old house, where lat-
terly they felt at home, end the ancients of the gallery
became familiarised to the face and appearance of the house,
in which they dotted down so many speeches, and sat for
so many years. To those who sat in the body of the house, !
as well as Glow who sat eke tolsear and record the debates,
the clearing sway of their old familiar seats must bring
back many reminiscences.
DE.Vill FROM FIGHTING, NEAR DRIFYILLD.—Two
men, strangers to the locality, but known as Thomas Brock-
leehy, alias "Shepherd Tom," and "Ginger," had been
worbng some time among the farmers in the neighbourhood ,
of Langtoft, in the East Riding of York. Ginger, it appears,
" was of a very quarrelsome disposition, and Broeklesby and he
met at a public-house on the 4th inst., where they quar-
relled, but were parted. Some days afterwards they met'
in the same place, and Ginger said he would fight anybody
in the room. Broeklesby accepted the challenge, fought
several rounds, and in the last was thrown by Ginger, who
fell upon him. He then refused to fight any more, and,
having washed himself, sat down and fell asleep. About'.
two hours afterwards he was observed to be frothing at the
mouth, and quite insensible, and he died on the following
' evening. An inquest was held upon the body on Friday
last, before Mr. L. D. Conyers, when the surgeon who at-
tended the deceased stated that there were marks of bruises
upon his forehead and temples, and that, on making a post-
rialtos examination, he found a considerable quantity of
'emanated blood corresponding with these external in-
juries, together with appearances indicating the rupture of
a large vessel in the head, which would be quite sufilcieut
to account for death. A verdict of manslaughter was re-
turned against Ginger, who made his escape on learning
Om fatal result of the fight, sad is still at large. Deceased
was nearly 50 years old, while Ginger was not more than 2d.
