WEST INDIA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Monday Night.—The Royal mad
steamship Magdalena, Captain Abbott, has arrive
here with the usual West India mails.

The Magdalena brings 198 passengers, among
whom is ex-Governor La Trobe, from Melbourne
and on freight specie value $922,172, plata pin,"
value $80,530, precious stones value $2,800 ; 1)1'
serous cochineal, 671 serons jalap, 118 bales sarsa"
parilla, 16 live turtle,- and sundry merchandise.
Dates from Jamaica are to the 27th ult.
The business transacted in the Import-market
has been of a limited character, owing principally
to the very inadequate stocks of most articles on
hand, and prices consequently have advanced.
The cholera prevailed to a great extent in manY
of the agricultural parishes, but most virulently
the districts of St. Ann and St. Thom as in the
Vale. The latest accounts from the form er paris',
speak in discouraging terms of the prospects of the
pimento crop, which, it is anticipated, will be se'
riously affected by the scarcity of labour occasioned;
by the great mortality among the peasantry and
by the circumstance that those of them who have
not succumbed to The pestilence are quitting the
parish in, large numbers.
The cholera was still raging at Barbadoes, and
many of the troops had died. It appears that the
streets, wharves, Sic., are nearly deserted ; the
Governor has released all prisoners, and no perse.n
is allowed to be imprisoned ; and a report is 3.11
cirulation that he intends disbanding the police
force altogether. In the city burial grounds, on
the 28th of June, 311 bodies were deposited, and
the deaths during the last fortnight amounted t°
about 5,000, but it was gradually decreasing in
the town, but increasing in th© country. The
mortality among the whites was very considerable;
A Barbadoes paper says :—" We are satisfied
that, if accurate returns could be procured fros
the rural districts, it would be found that soul;
thing like a gross total of 6,500 persons of a"
classes, sexes, and ages have fallen victims to this
malady since the 14th of May last, the day 9°
which the first case of the disease was officiall
announced."

There has been a very destructive fire at St. JO'
Porto Rico. The fire commenced on the night °
the 25th, and continued to burn until the 27t1-1"
By a rough calculation the loss of property is sup"
posed to be 200,000 dollars, principally in goods.
Demerara papers state that the colony ill
healthy, and the weather beautiful. Great drew.'
of the cholera existed.
It was currently reported at St. Thomas's Oa.
two privateers, under Russian colours, were 111
those seas, and the British war steamer Devasta,
tion left that port on the 16th on a cruise.
Grenada had been visited with refreshing rains 2
and the crop was nearly over. The late dreugh"
had done serious injury. The present sugar T'°ll
shows a great falling off, and the quality was itue,
nor.

THE PROPOSED CEMETERY AT KILBURN.—Last
ing a public meeting of the inhabitants of Kilburn 110'
its vicinity was held at the Priory Tavern, Kilburn, t°
consider the propriety of memorialising the Secretary
of State against the proposed site for the Padding...ou
Cemetery, at!Kilburn. The chair was occupied by 10 fp.
Bicknell, and from the remarks of those present
appeared that the cemetery would be highly destruct'
tive to the value of the house property in the vicinity,
and that, being too near to the metropolis it would
be contrary to the spirit of the act passed ft°r
the closing of such grounds. The site is also within less
than half a mile of a continuous range of houses, and
cemetery is already within a short distance. A memorial
having been adopted, the proceedings terminated.
ACCIDENT TO MR. AUGUSTUS S. LUMLEY, 2D LX

of glass from a skylight, by which the gallant gentleman
sustained a severe laceration of his face, and occasioned
profuse bleeding. The casualty at the moment create,'
quite a consternation amongst the assembled visitoFs•
On the arrival of several surgeons, it was satisfactorily
ascertained that the injuries Mr. Lumley had sustained
were only of a superficial nature. Mr. Lumley was 11'
moved to his quarters at Knightsbridge Barracks, a 13,1
we are happy to add, is so far recovered that it is thought
he will be enabled to-day to resume his regiments
duties.

----Powler's Estate, Woking Common Estate, and Bel-
fast and County Down Railway.

Petitions were presented by Mr. COBBETT from Clitheroe
praying for the dissolution of the Board of Health ; and
by Mr. BLACKETT, and other honourable members, from
Nottingham, the West Riding, and other places, against
the opening of public houses.
VACCINATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
On the order of the day for going into committee on
this bill, ,
Mr. BRADY proposed that legislation should be post-
poned until next session, when the defects of the present
vaccination system could be effectually remedied. As
long as the stamp of pauperism was kept upon the ex-
isting act it would remain imperative, but, nevertheless,
if the house would refrain from legislation on the subject
until February next, he would pledge himself to bring
in a bill which at all events should have the merit of
being practical, which this measure was not. He moved
that the bill be committed this day three months.
Mr. T. DITNCOMBE seconded the amendment.
Sir J. PAKINGTON contended that the measure
Was essential for the public health, and he could not
consent to any postponement.
The amendment was then negatived without a division,
and the House went into Committee.
After some discussion all the clauses of the Bill were
Struck out &with the exception of the second, which
corrects the mistake in the Bill of last session.
The House then resumed.
•EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES
MANAGEMENT BILL.
On the order of the day for going into committee on
this bill,
Mr. CAYLEY moved as an instruction to the com-
mittee 'that it is expedient in this bill, renewing the act
14 and 15 Victoria, c. 104, to define more clearly
the intention of the following words in the first
clause of that act, viz.) "It shall be lawful for
anY Ecclesiastical Corporation, sole or aggregrate,
with the approval in writing of the Church Estate
Commissioners, who shall pay due regard to the just
and reasonable claims of the present holders of lands,
under lease or otherwise, arising from the long continued
Practice of renewal, to sell to any lessee, under any lease
granted by such
corporation, the revision, estate, and
interest of such corporation in all or any of the lands
ernrrised in such lease, for such consideration, upon
lessee rnay, with such approval as aforesaid, think fit."
The SPEAKER
said there was no necessity for any
Such instruction, as the committee would have full
Power to make the requisite alterations if they should
think fit.
Lord J. RUSSELL remarked that under these cir-
cumstances i 4 would 'be better to go into committee at

-ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL (THIS DAY.) I 20

TENTH DAY'S INQUIRY.
This morning, at half-past eleven, the inquiry was
again resumed, with the continued examination of Mr.
Wakley, sen., who began by entering into a statement
about the dismissal of Dr. Gay, and denied that he had
taken any part in it, or that he had read the biography
published and reflecting upon the character of him (Mr
Wakley), (and which it was alleged gave the offence),
until three months after his (Dr. Gay's) dismissal. Mr.
Wakley had no sooner began, than a scene of a most re-
markable character took place. Some of the j ry com-
plaining of the useless waste of time about going into
'natters irrelevant to the inquiry, which was as to the
death of the child, and, amidst cheers upon one side and
hisses upon the other, Mr. Wakley, in a few words, con-
tinued his statement, and again denied he had acted
with animosity towards Dr. Gay.
Mr. Ballantine then rose to cross-examine Mr. Wakley
as to the time he (Mr. Wakley) joined the hospital as
upon the committee, which he said was some years ago,
and about that time his son joined the hospital as sur-
geon ; and asked if at the time of joining there was not
mismanagement in the hospital ?
One member of the jury here rose and again objected.
The others wishing it to go on again, there was another
disturbance ; Mr. Wakley, jun., who sat behind Mr.
Ballantine, calling Mr. Ballantine a ruffian to pursue
such a course, and again repeated the assertion.
Mr. Bodkin reprehended Mr. Wakley, jun., for such
hconduct, and said that Mr. Ballantine could not feel
imself as acting freely when such language was used to
