The CHAIRMAN them reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again this day.
Lord J. RUSSELL said (in reply to Lord Lincoln)
that there would be no Committee of Supply until this
day se'nnight.
BOROUGH ELECTIONS BILL.
Sir J. HANMER withdraw this Bill, and moved for
leave to bring in another Bill on the same subject.
Mr. HUDSON objected to the introduction of the
new Bill without some explanation as to the difference
in its provisions from the Bill which had been with-
drawn. He was surprised the Honourable Member for
Salford (Mr. Brotherton) did not at this hour move as
usual the adjournment of the House, as it was now too
late to introduce a new measure of such importance.
Sir G. GREY ob ierved that the Honourable Member
for Sunderland (Mr. Hudson) was not in his place in the
early part of the evening when it was arranged that the
former Bill should be withdrawn and a new Bill intro-
duced. Had the Honourable Member been present, he
(Sir G. Grey) was sure he would not now interfere, as
it was desirable the new Bill should be read a second
time on Thursday next.
After some further discussion leave was given to bring
in the Bill, and it was accordingly brought up.
On the motion that it be read a first time,
Mr., HUDSON again objected, and called upon the
Hon. Member for Salford to discharge his duty by
movint; the adjournment of the House.—(Cries of
"Oh 'oh.") He (Mr. Hudson) was not to be put down
by " oh, ohs." This was a very important Bill, and he
reeirdred some explanation as to who were to be the
c( abmissioners under it. He looked upon this proceed-
i'ig as a sort of juggle between the Government and the
dun. Baronet (Sir J. Hanmer); but if the names of the
Right Hon. Baronet (Sir George Grey), and the Hon.
;and Learned the Solicitor General were put on the back
.of the bill, it would show that the Government were
responsible for the measure, and he should nut object to
the first reading.
Sir G. GREY said that this was impossible, as the
House had already ordered the Bill to be brought in by
the Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Hanmer) and two other Hon.
Members, and it had been so brought in. He would,
however, state that Government would give every assist-
ance to the passing of the Bill.
After a further conversation the Bill was read a first
time, and ordered to be printed.
TITHE RENT CHARGES (IRELAND).
Mr, G. A. HAMILTON obtained leave to bring in a
Bill to alter and amend so much of the Act 1 and 2
Vic., c. 56, as relates to the mode of making tithe rent
charge in Ireland liable to poor-rate poundage; and also,
to empower the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in Ireland
to allow poundage deducted from ecclesiastical persons
on account of poor-rate among the deductions from the
valuation of ecclesiastical property directed to be made
under the Act 3 and 4 William IV., c. 37, for the pur-
pose of a certain tax thereby imposed upon such property
in Ireland.
On the motion that the House do now adjourn,
Mr. BROTHERTON, adverting to the conversation
on the introduction of the new Borough Elections Bill,
said that as his name had been frequently mentioned
by the Hon. Member for Sunderland, he (Mr. Brother-
ten) must complain, that because the Hon. Member did
not choose to be in his place when the discussion took
place early in the evening on the Horsham writ, and
when it was arranged that the first Borough Elections
Bill should be withdrawn, and a new Bill substituted, he
should come down at that hour and attempt to re-open a
debate which had been disposed of. He (Mr. Brother-
ton) should strongly advise the Hon. Member to join a
temperance society.—(Laughter, and cries of " Order.")
At all events, when the Qualification of Members Bill
came under consideration, he (Mr. Brotherton) should
move that one of the qualifications required should
be, that the Member was also a member of a temperance
club.
Mr. HUDSON rose, and, with great warmth, said the
imputation thrown out by the Hon. Member for Salford
was most gratuitous, but he returned it with all the
scorn and contempt which one individual could exhibit
to another. What did the Hon. Member mean by the
charge? He (Mr. Hudson) had to-day been more fully
occupied in the business of the house than had the Hon.
Member, and he was quite ready and prepared to meet
the Hon. Member on any matter of business at the pre•
sent moment. It was very easy to whisper away a man's
character; and he appealed to the Right Hon. Gentle-
man in the Chair whether the course pursued by the
Hon. Member for Salford

decide which opera, La Sonnambula, or La Fig
Reggimento, performed last night, has given
Mdlle aLin
d
the greatest triumph. Her performance in the
latter
part has afforded the sculptor and the painter abundant
occupation, and bas certainly been popular withevery
class of society. The opera, as regards its present
effects, may almost be said to be of her own composition
Donizetti threw off this opera amongst those destined to
;
be ludibria ventis, the lightest of all those he had devised
resting for success less upon music and more upon asso-
ci
ation, and working upon the reminiscences and love of
military life of the French nation. Lind, betwixt her
acting and her singing, has created a new work. Hovv extraordinary her acting is, is proved by the circum-
stance that the audience frequently burst out in applause
only at the contemplation of her by-play—at her mute
action, without a note being uttered. Her tenderness
towards her lover, her attachment to the sergeant, her
devotion to her collective father, the regiment, are ren-
dered with the most delicate and exquisite shades of
feeling. In other parts of the opera she moves the
audience to laughter irresistibly; her display of military
ardour is full of abandon; the contrast is delineated
with the strongest and broadast touches when the camp
reminiscences break upon her new conventional life of a
fine lady; but .till she never loses the delicacy of the
pure maiden; and a tenfold effect is elicited because the
masculine element which other actresses resort to, to
trick out such characters, is totally banished. As to
the music, the changes, the variations, the embellish-
ments, the trilli, the points d'orgue, the cadences, &c.,
&c., are innumerable, and all her own—all original
and truly exquisite. The cadence from C below to
D above, in the military rondo ; the magnificent
point d'orgue in the duet with Gardoni in the first
act ; the chromatic passages, and the exemplifica-
tion of every species of the most excessive bravura
embellishments, in the mock heroic scene in the second
act—are all marvellous examples of the inventive genius
by which she has willingly put her powers to the most
trying test. Those high regions of the voice to which
other vocalists attain with so much difficulty form ex-
actly the sphere of Jenny Lind's easiest sport; there she
evolves at will whatever is most difficult and most
brilliant, and withal most pleasing—for it is perhaps her
greatest and justeat eulogy to say that she never forgets
the appropriate feeling of the part, whatever may be the
temptation to surprise her auditors.

It would be tedious to record the interminable plaudits.
encores, and recals of the night's performance. It will
suffice to say that she was four times recalled after the
scene of the music lesson alone.

The audience comprised her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent and a brilliant assemblage of the aris-
tocracy, many of the ladies wearing their superb
drawing-room costumes.

not of a dangerous character. With
and cause of the frightful outrage thus
the precise circumstances under which to the oriagnidn
h committed,teor
men
were so barbarously murdered, it was foundseepxotremely
difficult to procure definite and conclusive information.
This is owing partly to the alarm created in the minds of
the parties present at the melancholy character of the
affair, to the circumstance of the murder having been
perpetrated during the darkest period of the night and
outside a cottage door, and from the drunken state of
the parties, who had been drinking up to the commis
sion of this deed of darkness in one of the pests of this
district, a "cwrw bach," a name given to the nightly
gatherings so frequently made for the purpose of drink-
ing in cottages, although not licensed for the sale of
beer.
The facts of the case are briefly these:—On Monday
night a person named William .Davis held a "cwrw
bach" in a small cottage adjoining the road, and within
a few yards of the public-house called the Marquis's
Arms, kept by David Evan, the son of Jenkin Evan, one
of the murdered men. A company, consisting of about
twenty persons, remained at the cottage drinking until
1 o'clock. Abut half past 12 a party of Irish'' navvies"
entered the house. They remained there for about
half an hour, during which time they drank several
d
pints of beer. They entered into conversation with the
John Williams, and some other parties, saying
that they had been discharged by one of the contractors
at Loughor, and were then in search of work. It is said
that Williams had promised them work, and had asked
them to visit the part of the line where his contract lay
next morning. Soon afterwards it appeared that some
words, arising probably from the feeling of jealousy
and antipathy existing between the Irish and Welch,
ensued between one of the "navvies" and a man
named Edward Morgan, who was eventually
knocked down. One or two other men, who inter-
fered on behalf of Morgan, received blows about the
head from spades, &c. However, the injuries they sus-
tained were not of a serious character. The scuffle then
appears to have concluded, and they left the house ,
some say they were turned out, others that they went.
voluntarily, A considerable number of those who were
in the house, including John Williams, deceased, seem
to have gone out at the same time; but the majority
immediately returned to the house, John Williams and
one or two other persons—it was not quite clear how
many—being out. A little noise, hardly deserving the
name of a scuffle, was then made, immediately after
which a loud cry of " Murder" was heard. On the
people rushing from the house, John Williams and Jen-
kin Evan were found lying on the road lifeless, while
one of the " navvies" was observed to strike Evan',
body with a spade. The murderers then made off
'
to-
wards Swansea; one or two of the other men made faint
efforts to pursue them, but with no effect. The so
d.
d
enness and horrible result of the transaction appeared
to have paralyzed them. The policemen are making
every exertion to trace the murderers, who are severally
named Patrick Leary, Michael Leary, Thomas martill,
m N
Willia
—°rris and John Norris.
