STRANGE AND DETERMINED SUICIDE.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex
coroner, held an inquiry at the Masons' Arms Tavern,
Watney-street, Commercial-road, respecting the suicide of
George Tattendell, aged S 5 rears.
Catherine Tattendell, 8, Watney-street, the daughter of
the deceased, said that her father had been an excise
officer, but was latterly a wool sorter in the
London Docks. On Saturday last he said that
be had got a cold, and he kept his bed. On
Sunday morning when she went into his room she found
him hanging by the neck to a clothes line, one end of
which he hail tied to the post of the French bedstead and
the other fastened around his neck. He had evidently tied
the rope while in bed, and then flinging himself out on the
floor had hanged himself, while his body lay nearly pros-
trate on the boards. An iron hammer lay close by, and it
was clear that he had made an attempt to beat his brains
out with it, for his head was bruised and cut all over, and
the bed clothes were sprinkled with blood. The deceased
used to drink hard at times, but be was not intoxicated on
Saturday.
Mr. J. W. Churchill, a farmer, landlord of the deceased,
said that he had often seen the deceased after his drinking
bouts sit alone in his room for an hour at a time gritting
his teeth. When asked what was the matter, he used to
" I will commit suicide," but when he was sane he
would say " The man that commits suicide is a fooL"
Mr. L. Mahoney, M. it-C.8., said that the deceased died
from strangulation. His head bore severe bruises and
wounds, which he had evidently inflicted upon himself
with the hammer found on the bed by his daughter. He
was no doubt of unsound mind at the time. An uncle and
an aunt of the deceased's were in Colney-hatch.
The Coroner having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while in a state
of unsound mind."

Mr. Kinnaird intends to ask the President of the
Poor Law Board on Monday if the promised measure for
amending the administration of the Poor Law Board in the
Metropolis will give proper controlling power to the Poor
Law Board over the parishes at present governed under
local acts; whether it will abolish the elections of guardians
for life ; and if he knows whether the guardians of Clerken-
well have discontinued that ill-treatment of paupers which
has been repeatedly commented on in the public press

SERIOCS PARAFFIN ACCIDENT.—(Tam DAY.)—
nis morning, about 1 o'clock, a sad accident, arising from
the explosion of a paraffin lamp, took place in the premises
belo to Mr. Thompson, tailor, No. 354, Windmill-
street, Pinebury. One of the inmates was lying in
bed in the first floor, and just an another was getting
into bed the oil in a paraffin lamp which was burning
on the table became ignited. It burst the china cup
at the bottom of the lamp, and the biasing oil spirted in
all directions, setting fire to the night-clothes of Harriet
Thompson, aged 29 ; and Emma Tbomlzp aged 27. Both
were so much burnt that they were ob to be wrapped
in blankets, and removed to St. Bartbo omew's horpitaL
The brother also had his hands burnt in trying to pit the
firs out. A female living upstairs, who bad only been
confined the day before, rushed out into the etrest,
theme
of The fire was extinguished without the aid
of the engines.

PARIS. THURSDAY ETIRDFG.

The text of M. de Bismarck's answer to the Aus-
trian proposal for a disarmament fully bears out
the suspicion that the description given of it by the
Moniteur du Soir (not repeated, be it observed,
by the great Moniteir) that it was " favour-
able" would turn out to be false. It is, in
reality, evasive, ironical, and provoking. This day,
April 26, is the day on which Prussia—had the
proposal been simply accepted—was to have dis-
armed," Austria having by the supposition dis-
armed the day before. But the dates have arrived
and nobody now thinks of any disarmament
as a consequence of the despatches. It
results from M. de Bismarck's language, that so
far from accepting an offer which Austria professed
to consider as an immense concession for the sake
of peace, he will only modify the orders already
given to the Prussian army after he shall have been
satisfied that the reduction of the Austrian army
is an accomplished fact. The calculation is that
it would take Austria a month to put her Bohe-
mian garrisons in the same position in which they
were before the movement in the view of war
began. During all this time IL de Bismarck
does not even promise to make any reduction.
But even assuming that Austria would eat humble
pie to the extent arrogantly asked for, that would
not do, because M. de Bismarck goes on to my
he assumes that all the minor states of Germany
(which are known to side with Austria) will also
revoke the military measures which they have
taken for their own protection.
The Bourse was extremely bad. Although the
closing prices were not the lowest of the day, they
show a fall in Rente of 40c. for cash and 36c. for
account, being afr. 20c. and 67fr. bbc. At one
moment the price for account was 66fr. 96c.
Italian (terribly depressed) fell lfr. 50c. Mobilier
fell Mr. 50c.; Credit Foncier, 12fr. 50c.; and the
Northern Railway 12fr. 50c.
The Head Centre Stephens, fresh from the
honours of the Marquis de Boissy's table, has left

Paris and has embarked for New York on board

the new packet Napoleon 111., which is now mak-
ing its first voyage. M. de Boissy, of whom it is
no libel to repeat that he is the Senate's " fool,"
is the only man of note in Paris who has osten-
sibly patronised Stephens.
The Duchess de Morny, who for some time after
the death of her husband was in a bad state of
health, is now said to be better. She is at present
living in one of the many houses of the late
duke in the Avenue Gabriel, where she
passes her leisure hours in sorting his political
papers. These, according to custom in Prance when,
a man who has held high office dies, were sealed
up and sent to the Tuileries for the Emperor's
perusal, His Majesty has returned most of them
to the Duchess, and among these are said to be
many (probably not all) relating to the coup
1 d'etat.

THE REFORM BILL

The order of the day for the resumption of the adjourned
debate on the motion for the second reading of the Repre-
sentation of the People Bill hawing been read,

Mr. LowE observed that, as the house was considering
the principle of the bill, it was not inopportune to ask
what the principle was. Upon that point their informa-
tion was at present very meagre. The President of the
the Board of Trade had told them that it was to reduce
the franchise, whilst the Solicitor-General for Scotland
said it was to fill up two blanks in the bill with certain
figures which the house was to supply. So that the
views imparted to the house were rather of a shady
and colourless character. He submitted that neither
explanation answered the question, because the prin-
ciple of the bill was the ground or reason on which
it was based ; and in reference to that the govern-
ment had been entirely silent. The fact was, there were
only two grounds upon which the bill could be justified—
the first was, that the franchise should be given for its
own sake—and secondly, as a means for obtaining ulterior
objects. Which, then, was the real • 'pie? He held
that in conferring the franchise regard should be had not
only to the fitness of the person, but to the influence
which he might exercise over the well-being of the com-
munity, and that are should be taken that the franchise
was given so that no one class should swamp the others.
If he could ascertain what the bill would do, what
were the number of people to be enfranchised by it,
and how their numbers were to be distributed, be
should then get data from which he could argue as
to what was its principle. But here he was met
with a difficulty which was created by the government
themselves, and this was, that it was impossible for him to

THE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I wish to
give notic:. as I think it may be said to be understood in
the house generallynow that the debate on the second read-
ing of th,. Representation of the People Bill is to terminate
to-morrow evening—(cries of " Hear, hear")—upon that
supposition I wish to give notice that on Thursday next,
this day week, I shall propose in committee of Ways and
Means the ...usual financial statement. (Cheers.)

DAUNTS ROOK.

In answer to Mr. DI somas,
Er. M. OIBBON said his attention had not recently
been called to the fact that the wreck of the City of New
York still remained on Daunt's Rook. He believed it was
mentioned upwards of a year ago by a deputation. The
damage to the brig laden with sugar in June last had not
been officially reported to the Board of Trade. Having
conealted with the nautical adviser of the board, it arr-
est there was some light addition to the danger°,
trudrigation from the wreck of the City of New York
being allowed to remain on the rook. Whether the owners
could be compelled to remove the wreck was very doubt-
ful. It had never been held to be the ditty of the Board
of Trade or of the Trinity Corporation to remove wrecks,
but the question had been under their consideration
whether some measure might cot be advantageously in-
**dimmed to compel owners to undertake the removal
where the position of the vessel was dangerous to naviga-
tion.

from a correspondent :
The company which was formed for the purpose et
establishing hotels in India and China, and elsewhere in
I route between England and the British settlements in
India and China, love just completed the first of their
establishments, which is to be opened at Point de Galls
immediately. Another is in course of building at Cairo,
in Egypt. Both of these will have every comfort and
convenience of the best English hotels. Any one who
has been along this route must feel how much hotels of
this description are required.

While the Bank's liabilities on deposits have

increased 109,3441., indicating a stronger position.
This is mainly due to the fresh decrease of 468,8621.
in the advances on private securities, which is like-
wise satisfactory, as denoting that the supply of
money in the general market is fully equal to the
requirements of commerce, and as precluding the
idea of any immediate unfavourable turn in the
money market. The variation in the coin and
bullion is of no importance.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT. —GREAT YARIIOI7TH,
TCESDAT.—A sad accident occurred at Gerleston yesterday
afternoon, resulting in the lose of two henchmen, and the
narrow escape of • third. It seems that William Todd,
aged twenty-six, his brother, Enfield Todd, aged about
twenty, and another hackman, named Samuel E.
Fleming, twenty, proceeded out of the harbour in a row
boat for the purpose of drawing for some emelt& and other
fish along the shore. Just as they reached the bar, and
precisely where the late lifeboat catastrophe took
place, their small craft was caught by a sea
and swamped. The men were thrown into the
I water, and, being heavily attired, two of titan sank,
and were drowned ; while Enfield Todd managed to extri-
cate himself and swam to the beach. The accident was
observed from the north pier by some pilota, and they at
once launched • boat and proceeded to the same of the
disaster, but too late to be of service. Subeeqsently the
boat was picked up, and the body of the elder Todd was
found entamied in the netting. The tide was low on the
bar at the tune of the accident. Twenty-five beachmen
have been drowned in Yarmouth river since January lat.

Last evening the fifty-third anniversary festival
of this institution took place at the London Tavern,
Bishopegate-street, the Duke of WELuxwrosr presiding.
Amongst the company present were many gentlemen well
known in the City of London for their advocacy of
charitable objects, and more especially of the excellent in-
stitution whose interests were now to be ad-
vanced. The noble chairman's speech was received with
great enthusiasm, and the result of the evening's festivities
was that a subscription list was read, amounting in all to
about 4.500/., 1,9001. of which was contributed by members
of the Stock Exchange.

THE AMERICAN CONGRESS AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

The Times assumes that the House of Representatives
will pass the Civil Rights Bill as the Senate has done, and
that a measure which completely overthrows the doctrine
of state independence, and will put in every Southern
State en authority exercised by a Federal executive and
overruling the state enactments, will become law.
It anticipates bitter animosities as the result, for
the tendency of the bill is to arrest the pro-
gress of those influences which are drawing more closely
I round the States the bonds of union and peace. The Times
will watch with interest how far the President will venture
on using his powers negatively to prevent the enforcement of
the act, and assumes that he will give as little assistance
as he can to it. His course most likely will be to leave
those who have made the law to enforce it, if they are
able, against the will of the population, and to hold him-
self neutral in disputes which are not of his making.
London, England, 1866-04-18

EMPLOYMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN.

The Earl of SHAFTRSBITRYsaked her Kajevty's govern-
ment whether it was their intention to bring in a bill for
the previous of placing the children and young persons men-
tioned in the third and fourth reports of the commission
under the protection of the Factory Acts. He migbt say
that many of these children and young persons were at
this moment perishing under the amount of labour and the
hardships they had to undergo.
Earl RUSSELL said the subject was under oonsidera-
tion, but he could not at that moment state what course
the government intended to take.
Their lordships then adjourned, at twenty-five minutes
to seven o'clock.

EXECUTION OF MARY ASHMOLL

In answer to Mr. KIKKEWICH,

Mr. EWART said he had made inquiries respecting cir-
cumstances alleged to have occurred at the execution of
Mary Ashinole, at Exeter, and had now reason to believe
that the original statements were very much exaggerated.
With respect to her having been supported to the scaffold
by two men, he believed that that was not an uncommon
artumstance in the case of women.
METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.
Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice for Thursday next to ask
the President of the Board of Trade whether it was inten-
ded that the Metropolitan Railway should ran along an
open cutting instead of in a tunnel as at first intended.
(Hear, hear )

EXTENSION OF THE FACTORY ACT.
Mr. FAWCETT asked the Secretary of State for the
Horne Department when the government would introduce
their promised measure for the extension of the Factory
Acts; and, whether the government had considered the
desirability of regulating the employment and education
of children who are employed in agriculture.
Sir O. :KEY could not possibly fix a day tot the mea-
sure named. The report was very voluminous, em-
bracing eery branch of trade, and was still under con-
sideration. The government had no intentions respecting
children engaged in agriculture.
London, England, 1866-04-18

THE REFORM BILL.

The Post maintains that there is not a word in Lord
Groevenoes amendment from which want of confidence
can be reasonably inferred ; but, nevertheless, if govern-
ment will view it in that light it is not for parliament to
hesitate on party considerations when she vindication
of its independence is imperative. Ministers of the
crown may have the right to ask the representatives of
the people to discuss a measure framed to revise
the constitution by instalments, but then, at all
events, they should in the first place lay the measure
before them in its entirety. This is all that Lord
Grosvenor's resolution requires, and to demand or dictate
its rejection on the ground of confidence is to confirm
doubt and authenticate opposition.
. _

According to the Herald, some forty or fifty of the
habitual supporters of the government are in grave doubt
uto what they shall do. Possibly they may vote for the
second reading of the bill, on the understanding that acci-
dents are to happen in committee, and thus nave the
ministers from the more immediate COEUIegUellOOll of their
folly. Some Irish members, backed by the Tablet, are
expected to oppose the bill, which, even if it is read a
second time, is past praying for.
The Telegraph points out that the pretence of objecting
only to an uncertain extent of reform has utterly
(vanished, speaker after speaker forgetting the terms
of the amendment, and wildly inveighing against
any and every lowering of the electoral suffrage.
The country gentlemen have been getting more
frantic and frenzied night after night, and now make
discussion hideous in loud cries, like the war-whoop of
rsd-skins. There will come evil fruit of such bad seed,
and when it does come, with the angry and thorough-going
measures which will follow, do not let those be blamed

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.---(THIS DAY.)
The quantity of English whc..t received fresh up to our
market, to-day, coastwue and by land carriage, was very
moderate and in but middling condition. For film parcels
the trade ruled firm at the late tulyaaces in prices, but for
inferior produce the demand was heavy. Compared with
Monday, however, no change took place in the quotations.
There was a moderate quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands. In must descriptions a lair business wait passing,
on former terms.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
about late currencies.
Barley, the show of which was tolerably good, moved off
slowly, at Monday's quotations.
The value of malt was well supported.
Oats changed hands to a limited extent, at unaltered
prices. The supply on offer was good.
In beans sales progressed steadily, at the recent im-
provement in the quotations.
Peas met a fair sale, on former terms.
Flour supported late rates, with a moderate demand.
Linseed and rapeseed were in but moderate request.
Agricultural seeds commanded but little attention.
Cakes wale steady.

COUNTY COURTS BILL

On the motion of the LORD ORANCILLOR, this ball was
read a third time and paned.
ELECTORAL STATISTICS.
- -

Lord STRATHEDEN moved that a select committee be
appointed " to examine the electoral returns laid upon
the table with a view to the changes they suggest as desi-
rable or necessary in the right of voting ; and to inquire
into the conditions upon which the occupation frar chise
ma lowered with advantage in counties or in boroughs
of England and Wales." The noble lord said he would not
havebrought forward the motion if he had thought it
would prove an obstacle to any parliamentary proceedings
which might be contemplated by the noble earl on the
cross benches (Earl Grey), nor did he intend it as a factious
obstacle in the way of legislation. If their lordships
agreed to his motion he should be happy to transfer the
direction of the inquiry to his noble friend on the croaa-
benches (Earl Grey), whose capacity was so eminently
illustrated in 1860 by his direction of a similar committee.
Earl RUSSELL said that the precedent of 1860, by
which his noble friend had supported his motion, was not
in point. When the Reform Bill of Lord Palmeraton's
government was proposed it was admitted that the
returns upon which it was founded were exceedingly
inaccurate, and it was stated that the numbers who would
be enfranchised would be far greater than had been esti-
mated. It was stated—what was undoubtedly true—that I
the valuations and assessments under the poor-law were
eaxp=ly loose and variable. Those grounds for enquiry
to him to be valid, and a committee was ap-
pointed which took a great deal of valuable evidence,
although it did not think fit to make a report. He did not
quite understand what was the precise meaningof his noble
friend's motion. Certainly he should imagine that these
electoral returns did not of themselves suggest any change,
or give any opinion with regard to the right of voting.
The noble lord went on to say that the committee should
" inquire into the conditions upon which the occupation
franchise might be lowered with advantage in counties and
boroughs." He did not know that their lordships' house
bad as yet agreed that there were conditions on which
the occupation franchise might be lowered. He had no
objection to the house taking it for granted that the occu-
pation might be lowered with advantage ; but he did not
think that their lordships would appoint a committee
which should take for granted that which was a matter of
opinion.
The motion was then put and negatived without a
division.

THE STREET TRAFFIC OP THE METROPOLIS.

The select committee to whom was referred the
London (City) Traffic Regulation Bill, and who were in-
structed " to inquire into the best means of regulating the
traffic of the metropolis," have agreed to the following
special report, which was published this morning :
1. Your committee have heard evidence as to the general
street traffic of the metropolis, and as to the attempts
made to regulate it under several acts of parliament passed,
to give to the various authorities in the City, and in the me-
tropolitan police district, power for this purpose. 2. Your
committee are of opinion that any legislation which may be
necessary for the farther regulation of the public traffic
within the City of London would be inefficacious and in-
complete, unless corresponding regulations were in force
in a much larger portion of the metropolis, and
that inch regulations should be submitted for the
approval of the Secretary of State, by the Com-
missioners of Police for their respective districts.
3. Rntertaining these views, your committee think that it
is not desirable to proceed with the bill referred to them,
which is limited to the regulation of the traffic within the
City of London. Your committee, therefore, remnonend
that a general measure to correct the present defeats in the
law, and to give additional powers to regulate traffic in
every portion of the metropolis, should be brought for-
ward by the government."
London, England, 1866-04-18

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether the new
order iu council, dated the 11th inst., continued to
county local authorities the power to regulate the admis-
sion of cattle into their respective counties, as to them
might, from time to time, seem proper and expedient.
The LORD ADVOCATE had no doubt but that the
authority would he continued to the local boards.
ARTISANS IN PUBLIC DOCKYARDS.

Mr. OTWAY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the government sabered to its intention of dis-
franchising the artisans in her Majesty's dockyards, arse-
nals, and factories? (Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—With re-
ference to the question put by my hon. friend, I should
wish to say that the government will not think it for the
convenience of the house to give answers at the present
time as to the course they will take with regard to particu-
lar clauses of the bill. They will apply that to all the
clauses, even the most vital clauses, at the present moment,
and of course would apply it still more with rest to a
clause which is beside the main purpose of the bill, and
independent of its essence.

PRUSSIA AND ITALY.

Mr. BEAUMONT asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, whether he bad reason to believe the
statement to be substantially correct in the News Freya-
eleublott, a. to the alleged treaty of alliance, offensive and
defensive, between Prussia and Italy.
Mr. L.tYARD had no reason to believe that the state-
ment wee correct. Her Majesty's government had received
no information of the existence of such a treaty.
THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY IN IRELAND.

Mr. S. AYTOVN asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether it was the intention of the
government to bring in a bill, during the present session,
for the kurpose of granting a new charter to the Queen's
University in Ireland, or of altering the composition of the
senate ; and, if so, whether the bill would be brought in
at en early period of the session.
. . . .

Sir O. .G.SEY would give notice of a bill to give effect
to the lett-7 of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which had
been Laid on the table some weeks since. He could not say,
however, t_' at the bill would have the precise character
pointed out by the hon. member.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. —(THIS DAY.)
Mr. DODSON (the Deputy-Speaker) took the chair shortly
after 12 o'clock.
The Kingston and Epsom Railway Bill, and the Tulacre
Pier and Barbour Bill were read a second time.

PUBLIC COMPANIES BILL.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH in moving the second reading of this
bill, said it wee identically the same bill as passed a second
reading in 1864. The bill was interded to correct what he
conceived to be an imperfection in the mode of voting
in public companies, and to enable them to know what
they were voting about before instead of after.
Many companies had numerous shareholders, some as
many as five or ten thousand, and the Loudon and
North Western as man, as 22,000. Of course they could
not all attend the meetings, and many of these were ladies.
At present, if proxies were sent they must be received by
the secretary 48 hours before the meeting. lie proposed
that in the event of a poll being demanded the motion and
amendment should be printed and sent to all the share-
holders, who should then send voting papers by post.
Mr. IL GIBSON said he had no objection to the principle
of the bill.
The bill was then read a second time.
THE HOP TRADE BILL.
Mr. HUDDLMTON moved the second reading of this
bill, the object of which is to prevent frauds in the hop
trade by requiting the weight and name of the grower to
be marked on the pocket.
