M. APTO.SIMA'S HARP _RECITAL.

This entertainment attracted a most numerous
audience. The programme was gone through in the
most satisfactory manner, and the applause awarded
to M. Aptomma was loud and enthusiastic. As
there only remains ono more recital to complete the
series, we recommend•all lovers of the instrument
to avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing a
performance which we hesitate not to say will
excite their wonder and delight.

TERMINATION OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.—"
CLONMEL, Wednesday.—The judges sat at 10 o'clock,
when Richard Burke, charged with the murder of his
wife by poison, was placed at the bar. Mr. Johnstone ap-
plied for a postponement until the assizes, as it was neces-
sary to institute inquiries as to several witnesses who had
recently mide depositions, and also to have the assistance of
a chemist. The Attorney General did not oppose the appli-
cation, although the crown were ready to proceed, and the
case was one of great social importance. Some observations
were made by the Attorney-General and the judges in re-
ference to the imperative duty of the executive to issue the
special commission. Had Burke's trial been proceeded
with it would have occupied two days. The Attorney-
General said he would soon inform the judges whether the
special commission would be resumed at Limerick on the
Ist of July. The judges left for Dublin by the 9.45 mail
train from Waterford.

RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARMA-,
mENT.—Yesterday, in the committee of which Mr. Puller
is the chairman, on the proposed extension lines into Hull,
the committee intimated to the parties that they were pre-
pared to decide as between the South Yorkshire Company' 0
Hull ,Extension and the North-Eastern Company's Hull
and Doncaster Branch, that both bills presented advantages
and disadvantages, but th:,t on the whole they were pre-
pared to prefer the bill of the North-Eastern; and in the
event of their decision being given in favour of the latter
they should exact from them a stipulation to carry the bill
out this session. Hereupon the South Yorkshire Company
withdrew their bill, and Mr. Sergean4 Wrangham ad-
dressed the committee for the bill of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire, which was declared not proved, that of the
.North-Eastern Company being eventually passed. The
case of the Oswestry and Ellesmere lines is still progress-
ing in Lord Stanley's committee; and engineering eve Eastidence
from Mr. Fowler occupied the committee on the
Glotteebter,:hire Railway in the Lords.
