MONDAY EVENING, JUNE so, 1851.

Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he supposed the reason
of the delay was that all the returns had not yet been
received from Ireland; probably all the returns would
be made by to-morrow or next day.
POSTAGE OF LETTERS TO FRANCE.

Mr. HUME gave notice that to-morrow he would ask
whether any measures were in progress by the Govern-
ment for reducing the enormous charge now made for
postage on letters sent to France.
TRANSPORTATION TO VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.
In reply to Sir W. MOLESWORTH,
Mr. HAWES was understood to say that a vessel had
been sent to Van Diemen's Land with 300 convicts.
HINDOO SACRIFICES.

In reply to a question from Sir R. H. INGLIS,
Mr. WILSON said that a Bill was just on the point
of being passed by the Council of India which would
prevent the continuance of self-sacrifice to the idol
of Juggernaut practised by Hindoo devotees.
THE, NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Sir E. BUXTON put a question to the Noble Lord
at the head of the Woods and Forests, when it was in-
tended to occupy the new House of Commons, and
whether there was any intention of pulling down the
present Howe before it was ascertained that the new
House would accommodate the Members?

Lord SEMOUR said that he had nothing to do with
the new Hotses of Parliament, and therefore could not
give the desired information. He had never heard of
any intention of pulling down the present House.
JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL.

In answer to a question from Sir B. HALL,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he certainly meant to
proceed with the third reading of this Bill on Thursday
next, as the first order of the day.

TRANSATLANTIC PACKET STATION.
It was za! ural enough that in Irelfted groat hopes
should have been built upon the idea that Galway was
to be converted into the port for steam communication
between this country and the United States. We grieve
that we are compelled by the force of facts to come to
the conclusion that the idea can never be seriously en-
tertained by the Government or the people of this
country. The whole subject has been thor.aighly sifted
by a body of Commissioners, who have just presented
an elaborate yet carefully digested report to the House
of Lords. These gentlemen do not, "on a careful
review of the arguments that have been advanced,
consider them as sufficient to justify them in recom-
mending the proposed change." They seem to have dis-
played a laudable anxiety to consider the subject with
every possible reference to the interests of Ireland, and
they have stated the result of their deliberations so clearly
as to leave the unthinking advocates of change
without reply. It must be remembered that
this is not a case in which we can afford to
make a mistake. There is a line of mail packets
belonging to a firm in the United States which at
present perform the journey between Liverpool and New
York. If by any error in judgment we were to transfer
the service of our own—the Cunard line—from Liverpool
to Galway, the result is, not that we should succeed in
forcing the traffic across Ireland, but simply that we should
transfer it to the United States' steamers. The mer-
chants of England and Scotland have set their faces
against the proposed change. The Chambers of Com-
merce of Manchester and Glasgow, and many eminent
firms at Birmingham and Leeds, engaged in the North
American trade, have expressed their strong opinion
of the injurious results of any such alteration
of the present system. For heavy goods the
transit across Ireland is entirely out of the ques-
tion. The point must simply be considered with
reference to the passenger traffic and the very
lightest description of goods. " Even with regard to
passengers, it is stated that increased expedition and
reduced length of sea voyage would not generally com-
pensate, in the opinion of the parties above named,
for the frequent changes and delays which the new
route would involve." The Commissioners declare
that they entirely concur with this opinion, and
present the House with a set of carefully pre-
pared calculations. The result of these is, that the
saving of time which would be gained by the adoption
as a packet station of that one of the Irish ports which
is most favourably situated would be under ten hours in
a transit of nearly eleven days. Now, on the whole, is
it worth while to run so great a risk for so slight a
gain—if, indeed, the term can be employed without
abuse of language? Is it a " gain" to save ten hours
when the alternative is so motley a commencement or
termination of so long a journey? Even for those per-
sons who are most subject to inconvenience from a sea
voyage, is it not better to have one than two agonies? Is
it not some little consolation, in the midst of their mi-
series, that they may retain undisturbed possession of
the berth into which they may have rolled at Liverpool
until the steamer shall have arrived at New York? _ _

There are many ports in Ireland which have contended
for the honour of the Transatlantic Packet Station. The
pretensions of Cork, Long Island Sound, Bere-haven,
Crook-haven, Dunmanus-bay, Valentia, Galway,
Foynes, and Tarbert (river Shannon), are in turn
discussed by the Commissioners. It would appear,
on the whole, as though the palm lay with Galway-,
although that station is nut without very many draw-
backs and disadvantages which do not seem to have oc-
curred to the vivacious imaginations of our Irish fellow-
subjects. The Bay of Galway is certainly free from in-
jurious tidal influences, but the roadstead which must be
used by the packets is 25 miles distant from those islands
which guard the bay, and dues not offer any suitable
shelter for Transatlantic packets such as would enable
them to land passengers or take in coal. When the
heavy gales from the W.S.W. are blowing, or the heavy
Atlantic sea comes rolling in, the situation of vessels of
any sine which might be lying in Galway roads would
be precarious indeed. We should add that though the
difficulty might be obviated by the erection of a break-
water and other works at a heavy expense, even so the
objections to Galway are not at an end. The navigation of
the west coast of Ireland is stated by the naval officers
examined to be very dangerous, especially in winter.
" The coast from Misen-bead, round to Galway-bay, is,
in nautical language, steep-to,' there being ICO fathoms
water at 18 or 20 miles off its outlying dangers. It is
also subject to fogs and hazy weather and to fre-
quent heavy gales of wind blowing towards a
lee shore, with high Atlantic seas and very un-
certain soundings." Cork is the freest of all the Irish
ports from these drawbacks; but then the difference in
the length of voyage to New Yurk, whether from Holy-
head direct, or round by rail from Dublin to Cork, is so
infinitely small as not to deserve account. Cork, which,
nautically speaking, presents the greatest advantages, is
that one of the Irish ports which offers the slightest
amount of acceleration—Valentia the greatest. The
adoption of the last named station is, however, rendered
quite impracticable by the dangerous nature of its en-
trances and approaches.

When we turn to the other arguments that have been
used throughout the discussion in favour of the Irish ports,
we find none to be of sufficient weight to counterbalance
the positive evils arising from trans-shipment—none
which are not fairly set aside in the report of the
Commissioners. It was stated, for example, that fares
would be reduced in consequence or the lower
rate of insurance on vessels sailing between the west
coast of Ireland and the seaboard of the United States.
The statement upon investigation turns out to be a mis-
take. The insurance is not less than upon vessels sailing
between Liverpool and New York. Again, it was said
that the convenience of emigrants would be consulted
by the proposed change. Who ever heard yet of Irish
emigrants going out in a first-class steamer? It costs
them infinite pains to scrape together wherewithal to pay
steerage fare by a sailing ship of an inferior class. Then,
again, considerable stress has been laid upon the
advantages that would result from electric commu-
nication, supposing the steamers to take their
departure from Galway, and supposing that
a continuous line of electro- telegraphic communication
existed between Holyhead and the Irish coast. The last
or these conditions has not yet been realised, and the first
probably never will. The Commissioners reserve one of
their most potent arguments for the conclusion of their
report. At present the Government pays Messrs. Cunard
and Co. 145,0001. annually for the conveyance of the
mails to and from North America. " Should it, how-
ever, be found that the removal of the mail packets to
an Irish port materially diminished the amount of traffic

conducted by means of their vessels, the result would be
a corresponding diminution of profits to the proprietors,
and the necessity for a proportionate increase in the
amount paid for, their contract." On the whole we re-
commend a dispassionate and careful perusal of this very
able report to all persons who may be interested in the
point at issue. They must be singularly blind to evi-
dence if they do not concur with the conclusion of the
Commissioners, that any transference of the mail ser-

vice to an Irish port would be neither politic nor safe.
We should not benefit Ireland to any considerable ex-
tent, at the same time that we inflicted a very wanton
injury upon that portion of her Majesty's subjects who
reside and carry on their business in Great Britain. A
saving of ten hours in a transit of eleven days is not
worth so considerable a risk and so certain an incon-
venience.—Times.

The search was continued on Wednesday. A number
of the police were employed to drag the river from
Trowse Mills upwards to Lakenham
as
it was
though that the party who committed this diabolical
crime might have thrown a portion of it into the river..
Nothing, however, was discovered. Another party of
the police, together with several labourers, were em-
ployed in searching those localities where there was the
least probability of any portion of the body being con-
(*elec. Daring the day the following pieces of human
flesh were found, and brought to the station-house :—Five
pieces of human illesh were discovered in a field a little
past Mr. Reynold's mill, by three men named William
Neave, Robert Leach, and Robert Burrow; a tibia or
shin bone, in Mr. Shotger's field, by a young man named
George Chapman: three more pieces in a field belong-
ing to Mr. Gowing, situate next to that of Mr. Rey-
nolds's, by Robert Dewing and Mott Bales, and in
another field adjoining Reynolds's mill, by Charles
Johnson. The only other portions found this day were
a piece of flesh, by a young man named John Stone, in
the field next Mr. Reynolds's mill; and another piece in
a field belonging to Mr. Curtis, by Robert Bowing.
These pieces were generally about the size of a man's
hand, and had been mostly cut from the surface of the
body. They consisted nearly wholly of portions of skin
and thin layers of lesh or muscle. A portion of the
patella was attached to one of the pieces, and the sciatic
nerve to another. Notwithstanding that they had been
found at so many different places, and in spots a con-
siderable distance apart, they were found to join when
tried, thus proving that they all belonged to one body.
From this it would seem that the body has been cut into
pieces some time after death, and that the author of
this atrocity has endeavoured to get rid of it by deposit-
ing small portions in different localities at various
periods. This supposition is considerably strengthened
by a discovery which was made on Thursday. As
Robert Dewing was searching in Philadelphia that
morning, he found a piece of human flesh inside a fence.
Mr. Yarington is confident that this place was closely
searched on the previous day; and if the statement of
Dewing be correct—and there is no reason to doubt it
—it shows that the guilty party had deposited this piece
of flesh so recently as Wednesday night. This day a
shirt, which had been found on Mousehold-heath, much
smeared with blood, was delivered to Mr. Yarington.
-On Thursday morning the search was resumed, the au-
thorities manifesting the utmost anxiety to adopt every
means likely to throw any light upon this most mys-
terious occurrence. A number of the police were di-
rected to drag the river from the New Mills to Trowse,
whilst others were directed to continue the search on
land.

At eleven o'clock the Mayor, P. J. Money, J. H. Car-
nard, A. Towler, and J. Betts, Esqs., met in the Guild-
hall, for the purpose of hearing the evidence of the sur-
geons, Mr. Nichols, Mr. Norgate, and Mr. Donald
Dalrymple, to whom had been shown the various human
remains as they had been found, and who, at the same
time, proceeded to make a careful examination of the
parts. The inspection lasted about an hour, and the at
expiration of that time the ine.iical gentlemen entered
the Sword Room, when

Mr. Peter Nichols deposed—On Saturday last, the
21st day of June instant., I was shown the right hand of
a human body by police-constable Daniels. I took
charge of it. On the Sunday following, and also on the
Monday, several additional portions of a human body
were brought under my notice at the station-house. I
then, with Mr. Norgate, made a careful examination of
them, and we were of opinion that they were bones anti
ether parts of an adult female. On the 25th and
26th days of June instant, additional portions
were brought tinder my notice, and this day I
have, conj,,intly with Mr. Norgate and Mr. Donald Dal-
rymple, made another careful examination of the various
parts which were brought before us, namely, several
portions of the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae, the right os
innominatum, the scrum, a portion of the left os temo-
rio, the right tibia and fibula, the left fibula, the right
hand, the right toot, a portion of the right humerus, one
patella, various portions of muscle and skin, and one
portion of the intestines; and I am of opinion that they
are human remains—that they are the bones of a young
adult female. From the general appearance of the flesh
it is my opinion that there is evidence of youth and
health at the time of death. Some portions of the re-
mains appear to have :been immersed in some fluid.
This appears to be the case with the foot, the hand, and
the part of the pelvis and spine. The portions found in
the different localities indubitably belong to the same
person. I consider the individual, of whose remains
these are a part, may have been dead a fortnight, or per-
haps longer.
Mr. Norgato and Mr. Dalrymple confirmed this state-
ment.

During the week several persons who have lately lost
relatives have called at the station-house to ascertoin if
they could identify the remains, but no clue has yet been
found.—Norwich Mei curl/.

THE COITISTRY MARK7TS.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 26.—T0-d4 every article of the trade
was dull.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 28.—Supplies from Ireland and our
own coast at Liverpool and Runcorn continue to come forward
very sparingly, but from abroad the imports of wheat and flour
are on a liberal scale, and fair of Indian corn. At our market
this morning a very inactive feeling prevailed, and few trans-
actions occurred in any article. Some slight concession in
prices would generally have been made, had buyers appeared,
but in the absence of business we repeat (almost nominally)
the auotations of this day se'nnight.
Al Ipswich wheat was Is higher.
At Woodbrioge fresh samples made as much as 2s per quar-
ter over the last quotations, and found a ready sale.
On Thursday, at Stowmarket, the farmers stood out for
higher rates, and little business was done.
WORCE6TER, JUNE 23.—Best samples of English white
wheat must be quoted at 17s tid per bag, and best red 16s 6d;
second qualities 15s 6d to 16s 6d. Malting Barley 3s 6d per
bushel, and distilling, 3s to 3s 4d. For English beans, 4s 6d
per bushel was readily obtainable, and for foreign 3s 3d. Old
English oats, 3s 6d to 3s $d per 391 b ; new, 3s to os 4d ; and
Irish, 2s 8d to 10d. Peas, 4s 4d to 4s 6sl per bushel. The
growing crops of wheat look most promising, the present hot
weather being to their advantage.
At Stourbridge market on Friday business was flat, millers
declining to purchase at the late advance, and the farmers
being reluctant to make any concession. A very limited
amount of business was the result. In wheat the rates of last
week were hardly sustained. Nothing doing in barley.
Beans and oats firm, at former rates.
At Stratford on Avon on Friday, the supply of wheat was
short. Trade ruled dull, and only best samples brought last
week's rates. Secondary qualities of wheat declined in value,
and raillers only bought for present necessity. In barley, on
the contrary, there was an improvement, and a better inquiry.
Good grinding barley, 25s to 285 per quarter. Oats and beans
unaltered, and few on offer. Beans must be quoted at an ave.
rage of 33s 6d per quarter.
At Wolverhampton millers were unwilling to purchase at
late rates, and business was dull for wheat, at the nominal
prices of last week. Malting barley held for full prices. Eng-
lish beans firm, at 13s per bag for old, 12s for new, and 12s to
12s 6d for French old. Oats in moderate request; English,
26s to 28s per quarter.
NOTTINGHA)I, JUNE 23.—With a small supply of fresh
wheat and splendid weather, we have had a very slow trade,
yet good qualities could not be bought lower than last week;
rather less money would have been taken for inferior sorts. In
grinding barley, beans and oats, there was no alteration, and
but little doing.

DUBLIN, JUNE 27.—We have not to report any alteration

CORK, JUNE 27.

We have had some arrivals of foreign grain since our last,
but the sailings have outnumbered them. The receipts of
home grain continue very trifling, the supply for the week
being only—wheat, 85 brls; barley, 10 brls ; oats, 284 brls.
Prices are unchanged. The value of foreign wheat is firmly
maintained, but for the reasons already assigned the business
passing has been less active and to a smaller extent than that of
last week. No stocks of barley are held here. We have not
heard of any transactions haying taken place in oats, our quo-
tations for which we cannot alter from those of last week.
Holders still look for prices which purchasers are unwilling to
give, and this checks business. As regards flour, the bakers
having supplied themselves pretty freely last week, are un-
willing now to comply with the demands of the millers, who
are looking for an advance, and the result is that little or 110
business has been done. As their stocks run short it is evi-
dent that they must give in to the terms insisted on. Indian
corn, with the gladdening prospects before us, and the now
near advent of potatoes, in fair supply, and good condition, is
very dull of sale, at a further reduction of fully 2s 6d per ton.
The advices from abroad respecting the growing crops are on
the whole very favourable. In France, however, the wheat
crop is represented to be seriously injured by some disease or
blight, which fact, on being known at Paris caused an advance
on flour of from Os to 7s British per sack. French buyers
have been purchasing French four in the London market for
re-exportation to their own country.
