THE MURDER AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM,
Thursday.—This afternoon Mr. Thomas Hills, the
coroner for this borough, opened an inquiry into the circum-
stances convected with the death of Alfred James Holden,
who was murdered by his father in a room near Brompton
Barracks, under the circumstances already detailed. The
jury having been sworn, proc-eded to view the body, which
lay in the same room in which the murder took place. The
Deceased was a remarkably fine child, and from the appear
antes on the body there was little doubt that the attack by
the accused must have been most determined and savage.
There were two w, unds on the throat, one of which was,.
in reaity, caused by a series of stabs any one of which was
of itself sufficient to have caused (math. The evidence given
was merely confirmatory of the account sent yesterday, and
at its cluse, the Jury at once returned a verdict of wilful
murder against Alfred Holden, and the Coroner made out
his warrant for his olnuatttg to bifticletcuo Q 491.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
in the Council Chamber at Guildhall—the Right
Hon. the Lord May or presiding.

THE GOTERNMENT AND THE CORFORATION.
Mr. LAWLEY gave the following notice of motion
—'That a special Parliamentary committee be sp.
pointed for the purpose of watching the several bills
now before Parliament, or that may bo introduced
daring the present session, which may in any way
interfere with the municipal government or the re-
venues, rights, or privileges of the City, with power
to do therein as they may think fit, and to report 1
thereon from time to time to this Court." He then
said it was very important that the matter should
be settled at once, and he therefore asked leave of
the Court to put his motion at once instead of wait-
ing until the next court as would be the ordinary
course, as if left until then it would be too late.
The Court having agreed to this proposition,
Mr. LAWLEY, in putting his motion to the Court,
said he was thankful to the Court for having cora-
-1
plied with his proposition, and having a deep sense
of the responsibility devolving upon that Court, he
was induced to take the course he had adopted. He
had no desire whatever to pass over a committee
which was appointed by the Court for taking such
steps. But the circumstances of the case were very
peculiar. There was no committee of Court in
which the element of submission was not promi•
nent, and there was no committee to whom the
Court had simply deputed the powers of watch-
ing any encroachment on the rights and privi-
leges of the City. He thought there should be a
body of men, none of whom were before Parliament
or likely to be so, and who had no preconceived opi-
nions. When the Coal, Corn, Finance, and the Im-
provements Committee brought up a joint report on
Tuesday, and asked the sanction of the Court at once
to permit the Metropolitan Board of Works, as well
as the Government, to ride over them without a
show of resistance—

BRITISH GUIANA.

Col. ROWLEfaid—tielfnaer§eCretary of State for
the Colonies, whether it was true that Mr. Beaumont, au
English Barrister, had been appointed Chief Justice of
British Guiana, ver the heads of the Crown law officers in
the West Indies, many years his senior; and, if so, why ?
Mr. FORTESCT.JE replied that no rule of promotion
had been violated. The rule acted upon was to appoint
the most competent officers. Hence the Secretary of State
had selected a gentleman of the highest ability and require-
ments for the post.
HOURS OF WORK OF CHILDREN.
Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on Monday he should
ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department
whether he intended to bring in a bill to limit the hours of
labour of children in factories and other works.
HIGHWAYS.

Sir B. LEIGHTON asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether the power of justices to order a
contribution in aid of turnpike roads, where the funds of the
Turnpike Trust were insufficient, continued in districts in
which the new Highway Act 25 and 26 Vic. c. 61, had
been adopted, and, if so, on whom the order was to be made,
and how the amount was to be recovered ?

Sir G. GREY said the question really resolved itself into
the legal interpretation to be put upon the act of Parliament,
and came more properly within the province of a court of
law. He might say, however, that he apprehended the
justices had the power to make the order referred to,

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Last night the celebrated drama " The Willow
Copse" was revived here, Mr. Webster and Miss
Woolgar resuming their original parts. Mr. Web-
ster's Farmer Fielding is one of his finest persona-
tions; and Misa Woolgar's Meg, the devoted, kind
hearted, true, country wench, is n most artistic
representation. Miss Henrietta Sims was charming
as the unhappy Rose, and Mr. Toole (Augustus de
Rosherville), and Paul Bedford (Staggers), were as
humorous as ever. The drama is certainty one of
the very best of its class, and should attract
crowded houses.

CORK AND YOUGHAL.

A special general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Gresham-house, Old
Broad-street, to consider a bill now before Parlia-
ment, in compliance with the standing orders of the
House of Lords—Sir C. P. Roney in the chair.

Mr. Banks, the secretary, having read the notice
convening the meeting,
The Solicitor read the heads of " a bill with re-
spect to the capital of the Cork and Youghal Rail-
way Company, and to enable that company to trans-
fer their undertaking." It enabled the holders of
preference stock to convert that stock into ordinary
stock. Every holder of preference stock would have
the option of converting his preference into ordi-
nary stock within seven months from the passing
of the Act ; but it was stipulated that nothing
should be done to deprive the holders of the are
rears due on their preference stock at the
time of conversion. The bill contained power
to grant a lease of the undertaking to the Great
Southern and Western Railway Company on such
terms as might be agreed upon. There was also
power to sell the undertaking on such terms as
might be agreed upon at special meetings of both
companies, and a general power to enter into con-
tracts and arrangements subject to the approval of
the shareholders.

The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution ap-
proving the Bill, and stated that it had passed the
House of Commons.

______
The Hon. R. H. BROWNE seconded the motion,
which was carried unanimously, and the proceed-
ings terminated.

GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA.

It appears that the directors of this company have
been informed by their financial agent in Canada,
that the loss on through traffic collected and con-
verted ascertained up to the 22d ult amounted to
the sum of 215,060 dots. 73a. (144,190 lls.
and there remained a further sum of American funds
for conversion at that date of 3,405 dots. 10c., ill
addition to which there were balances in account
with connecting railways still unadjusted.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Last evening a new farce, entitled "Cousin Tom,'
was produced here, and successfully answered the
purpose for which it was produced, viz., to afford
a good hearty laugh previous to the commencmect
of the new drama " Court and Camp," which is
rapidly increasing in attraction, and will no doubt
become the sensation drama of the metropolis—a
title it richly deserves. The fun of the new farce
consists of the difficulties in which a certain adven-
turous lover, who to secure the hand of bis lady-
love assumes the name of another person, and thus
to secure the object of his affection he has to submit
to all kinds of laughable dilemmas. in the end he-
obtains his coveted prize, and of course the farce
terminates with a marriage. Mr. Beltord and Mies
Oliver sustained the principal parts with great
spirit, and the curtain descended amidst very loud
and general applause. The house was crowded.
