The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day pub-
lishes a despatch, dated June 4, addressed by
Prince Gortschakoff to Mr. Clay, expressing the
Emperor's satisfaction at the reply of Mr. Seward
to the proposal of France to join the diplomatic
intervention in favour of Poland.
The despatch concludes as follows :—" Such facts
draw closer the bonds of sympathy between

to appreciate the firmness with which Mr. Seward
maintains the principle of non-intervention.

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter, of the Bth, has the fol:owing :

" We are credibly informed that Count de Bismark
does not intend to submit the ordinance of June Ist
for the approbation of the Chambers. That and all
the other exceptional measures will be abrogated
just before the meeting of the Chambers. The ses
sion will be made as brief as possible, and after its
close the exceptional ordinances will be re-issued.
Such is the 'Nan the Government intends to follow,
if no unforeseen incidents occur to render it im-
practicable ?"
London, England, 1863-06-13

THE NOTICE PAPER.

Lord NAAS wished to correct the statement of the hon.
member for Stroud, namely, that his motion on the paper
had blocked other members out, whereas the fact was that,
though he stood fourth on the notice paper, he was now at
the bottom of the list.
The SPEAKER said that the clerks at the table had
every wish to discharge their duties with fairness—(hear)—
and that which was complained of as irregular was but the
obvious result of the course taken by the hon. members
themselves.

LANCASHIRE.

In reply to Mr. FERRAND,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that there was every desire on the part of the Government
to proceed with the bill for providing loans in aid of public
works in Lancashire with all the despatch in their power.

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.)
NEW YORK, May 30.
By private advices from Vicksburg there is no
doubt but the attack has been repulsed, with the
loss of 20,000 Union troops out of the army of
60,000. The remainder, like General Hooker at
the late battle of Fredericksburg, are entrenching
themselves, in fear of a large Confederate force ap-
proaching in their rear. It is the opinion of mili-
tary men that this expedition of the Unionists will
end in disgrace and defeat. The falsehoods of the
Administration organs will, as heretofore, no doubt
be exposed. They claim a great victory, and the
sure possession of Vicksburg shortly.
The Rev. IL Ward Beecher embarks to-day with
great éclat, accompanied by 1,000 of his parishioners
to the steamer—ostensibly for his health, really as
an agent of the Government.

The Murder and Attempted Suicide in

Marylebone.

Last evening Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central
Middlesex, held an inquest at the Buffalo's Head
Tavern, Marylebone-road, on the body of Charles A.
Payne, aged two years and three months, the child
of Mary Anne Payne, of 6, Allsopp-place, who is
in custody, end stands chargel with murdering it
by cutting its throat on the night of Wednesday,
and with attempting also to commit suicide.
The evidence given before the coroner was pre-
cisely that given before Mr. Mansfield at Maryle-
bone Police-court, on Thursday, namely, that on
Wednesday evening,' about eight o'clock, the in-
mates of the house in which Mrs. Payne resided
heard a loud crash in the back, and on going there
found the accused, with nothing on bat her night-
clothes, lying insensible on the flags. she having
precipitated herself from the second floor back win-
dow. Mr. Sedgwick, surgeon, of Park-place, was
called in and found the woman in an insensible
atai;?, and sent her husband and sister, who had
then arrived, to get a blanket to wrap her in, and
on entering the bedroom to do so they discovered to
their horror the body of her child with its head
nearly severed from its body, and the large table-
knife with which the wound had been inflicted near
it, On recovering her senses, the accused confessed
having committed the act, and also attempting, in
the first place, to commit suicide by taking poison,
and subsequently attempting to cut her own throat,
and throwing herself from the window.
The only cause which could be assigned was that
she is enceinte, and has been for some time past
labouring under a religious monomania.
The accused was not present at the inquest, but

The jury, after hearing the evidence, unhesitat-
ingly returned a verdict of " Wilful murder"
against Mary Ann Payne, for whose committal to
Newgate on the charge the coroner made out his
warrant.

The Viceroy and Commcmder.in-Chief were still
at Simla, where there is no news of importance to
record.

On the afternoon of the 7r_h May a numerous audi-
ence was gathered together in the hall of the Cham-
ber of Commerce of Calcutta, to hear a lecture by
Sir Arthur Cotton, on works of irrigation and navi-
gation. The lecturer chiefly insisted on the neces-
sity of appointing public works commissioners with
powers to raise funds for prosecuting remunerative
public works, and who shall be accountable for their
•appropriation to the purposes for which they were
professedly obtained.
Something like a mania for limited liability com-
panies is said to be prevailing in Calcutta. The
Hurkaru says upon this subject:—" We ven•
ture to resume our strictures on the limited
liability mania. The importance of the sub-
ject must be our excuse. Too much is at stake
to permit the folly to go on unchallenged; and
it is surely better to speak out boldly now and
nip Vle evil in the bud, than to delay all notice till
a few designing stock-jobbers have secured their
premiums, and the credulous multitude finds itself
duped and ruined. The good name and reputation
of our community, besides, are in question, and it i
but right that it should emphatically repudiate
complicity with practices which, we repeat, are
alike disgraceful and dishonest.
We read in the Madras Athenaeum—" From
Central Asia there is a continuance of the same
vague and contradictory rumours that have for so
long a time filled the columns of the Delhi Gazette
and perplexed everybody at a distance from the
scene of action as to what the real position of par-
ties at Herat, and the probable issue of the
strife between Dost Mahommed and his son-in -law,
may be. The old Ameer has recovered from his
late sickness, and is said to be as intent as ever on
taking the city, but after all it seems more likely
than not that British and Persian diplomacy will
bring about an accommodation between the belli-
gerents.

THAMES EMBANKMENT.

A report was brought up from the Thames Em-
bankment Committee with reference to the memo-
rial on the subject of the proposed viaduct across
Ludgate-hill by the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company, that, inasmuch as the company
do not propose to apply for powers to interfere with

the opinion of the committee, have any grounds for
taking steps in the matter. This recommendation

THAMES.

AUDACIOUS VIOLATION OF THE LAW BY A BEERSHOP-
KEEPER.---Henry Lee, a farrier, and landlord of the ale
and beer-house, called the Sailor's Return, Duke-street, St.
George-in-the-East, appeared before Mr. Woolrych to an-
swer an information and summons exhibited by Inspector
Honey, of the K division, for having his house open and
oarrying on trade therein during the prohibited hours on
Sunday last.
At a quarter before nine o'clrck, Police-constable Mad-
den, No. 60 A, saw persons enter and leave the defendant's
house, and upon entering it saw 13 men and two women in
front of the bar. There were pots and glasses containing
malt liquors before them. Some of the men were smoking.
The defendant said the party seen by the policeman were
his own friends who paid him a visit. He was a farrier as
well as a beer seller, and belonged to a club, the members
of which visited him.

Mr, Woolrych—Your Sunday morning friends were very
numerous. Did you makethem a present of the beer they
drank and the toobacco they smoked ?
Defendant—Yes, sir. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Woolrych—That will not do for me.
Inspector Honey said the defendant had been a very
short time there, and carried on an enormous trade while
public houses in his neighbourhood were closed and the
law obeyed by the proprietors thereof. He then called three
police-constables.
The first, Robert Smith, 25 K, saw thirty persons enter
the defendant's beershop en Sunday the 24th of May,
between the hours of half-past six and half-past eight in
the morning.

Frederick Greenfield, 405 K, counted 121 persons enter
and leas e the Sailors' Return between the hours of nine
and one on Sunday the 31st of May.
William Gaylor, 303 K—Lest Sunday, the 7th of June,
from half-past nine until one, I saw eighty-eight persons
enter and lea, e Mr. Lee's beeihouse.

Mr. Woolrych—This is wholesale law-breaking—a most
audacious and a very flagrant violation of the law, which
you find very profitable. You are fined 40s. If you are
brought here again and the case is made out the fine will
be £5.

Inspector Honey said a great many beershops in the
district wera coutinually open during the prohibited hours
on Sundays.

THE BAGNIGGE-WELLS ROAD.

The Board received a deputation from the Vestry
of St. Pancras to present a manorial, to support a
resolution passed by the vestry, that it was not de-
sirable to change the name of Bagnigge-wells to
that of King's-cross-road.

The deputation was introduced by Mr. HEALEY,
who afterwards moved that the resolution passed
by this board ordering the charge of name referred
to, be rescinded, as being against the wishes of the
inhabitants.

The motion was seconded, but rejected by a majo-
rity of 16 to 12.
STATE OF THE THAMES.

The PRESIDENT said that the attention of the

neficial effect upon it, and it was now in a satisfac-
tory state.

steps, as yet, to have the question of jurisdiction and

The matter was, after some discussion, referred

THE RANELAGH SEWER.

The committee also stated, with reference to the
letter from Mr. Aveling, clerk to the vestry of Pad-
dington, wit's copy of resolution of vestry, expres-
sing their opinion that it is the duty of the board
to cover in the open Ranelagh sewer forthwith,
that the sewer in question is one of the main sewers
of the metropolis, upon which the engineer has been
directed to report, with a view to measures being
adopted for covering them over and making them
efficient ; that such report was in course of prepa-
ration, and that they have instructed the engineer
to hasten its completion as much as possible.

BRAZIL.

Mr. S. FITZGERALD gave notice that next week he
would call attention to the state of the diplomatic relations
between this country and Brazil.
THE MOTION ON POLAND.

Viscount PALMERSTON appealed to the hon. member
for King's County not to bring forward his motion on
Monday next with reference to Poland, and he hoped that
other hon. members who had notices for Monday would
postpone them, so that they might take the discussion on
the purchase of the Exhibition building.

Mr. HENNESSY said he could only agree to postpone
his motion on the understanding that the noble lord would
give him Thursday or Monday week for the purpose.

Viscount PALMERSTON thought there would not be
much difficulty, but always assuming that other hon. mem-
bers would also postpone their notices.

PRECEDENCE OF MOTIONS.
Some discussion then took place of a rather desultory
character with regard to the rule regulating the order of
precedence of notices of motion on the paper of the house.
Lord NAAS complained that on account of the ques-
tion put to the hon. member for King's County the pre-
vious night he got precedence over himself, whose name
stood before that of the hon. gentleman. _ _

Mr. HORSMAN said that the practice, as now carried
out, operated very unfairly towards hon. members who had
notices below that of the noble lord. For a long time the
noble lord had a notice of motion on China on the paper ;
and he thought when his name was called he was not in his
place, yet by keeping his motion on the paper ho blocked
out all those below him on the list.

THE SITE OF THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.
Lord ELCHO asked the Chief Commissioner of Works
whether, in the event of not purchasing the building, the
Government would think it desirable to purchase the 161
acres of land on which the building now stood.
Mr. COWPER said that there was no report of Mr.
Hunt which would give the noble lord the information he
desired. The proposal with regard to the building contained
three items—the purchase of the building, the purchase of
the land, and the repairing and altering the building.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION BUILDING.

Lord R. CECIL asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether he had been rightly understood to say that no plan
was in existence of the architectural alterations which it
was proposed to make in the International Exhibition
building ; and, if so, on what data the estimate of the cost
of those alterations had been framed.

Viscount PALMERSTON said that no plan had been
framed with regard to the conversion of the building ; but
it was intended to complete the front of the building, as it
now stood with stucco. (Laughter.) It was also intended
to convert the glass domes into brick domes. (Laughter.)
The plan was the building, and all that was proposed to be
done was to make such changes as would produce con-
formity between it and other buildings, by covering it ex-
ternally with stucco. (Laughter.)

try; and there would be no objection to produce the papers,
THE OFFER TO MESSRS. KELK AND LUCAS.
In reply to Mr. CRAITEURD,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the offer of £BO,OOO to Messrs. Belk and Lucas for the re-
movable portions of the Exhibition building was not in
writing, but was made in conversation by himself on the part
of the Government to the hon. baronet the member for Fins-
bury. The estimate referred to was made by Mr. Hunt, the
surveyor to the Office of Works, with great care; but, as
hon. members would readily understand, any such estimate
could only
be an approximation to the actual value of re-
movable materials which were liable to great fluctation. The
estimate of the contractors showed that £BO,OOO did not re-
present the value of the removable materials.
Mr. GREGORY asked whether it was not a fact that
the paper prepared by Mr. Hunt represented the value of
the removable materials at £30,000.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ ER said he was
not aware of that; but he thought that calculations and de-
tails of this kind would in no way assist the house in com-
ing to a decision. (Hear.)
