W ESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.

Mr. HENLEY asked the First Commissioner of Works
to the state of Wastminster-bridge, and whether the
Government had come to any determination to proceed
with the works commenced for a new bridge ?

Sir B. HALL, in answering the question, eaid that
the bridge was now in the same state of secarity it
was when he answered a similar question last
year. The Governments in consequence of the prc-
posed erection of new offices had thought it desirable
in the event of new structures being erected to defer the
continuance of the bridge. After a decision on the
plans, and before any further expenditure took place, he
intended to ask the decision of the house whether the
present site should be retained or altered.
THE INTERRUPTION.

Mr. STANLEY rose and apologised to the Speaker
for hia interruption of the noble lord's address. It was
not done with a view of disputing the Speaket's autho-

Department had been officially drawn by reports corns
musnicated from India

necessity of the soldier having to bite the cartridge,tro?leso)l had
received the attention of the Secretary of State for thea

OXFORD UNIVERSITY EIGHT-OAR RACES.
The third race took place yesterday evening, when,
despite the unfavourable state of the weather, there was
a good attendance of spectators. Since the last race,
University, from some unknown cause, took off, leaving
Oriel in the fourth position, and Christ Church second
entered again. The following was the order of starting:
1. Exeter 6. Brasenose 11. Lincoln
2. Balliol 7. Trimly 12. St. John's
3. Wadham 8. Pembroke 13. Worcester
4. Oriel 9. Queen's 14. Jesus.
5. Christ Church. 10. Christ Church second.
The Exeter crew gained upon Balliol considerably
after passing the Long Bridges. Oriel bumped Wadham
opposite the Exeter barge, Brasenose bumped Christ
Church at the Gut, and Pembroke bumped Trinity at
Saunder s-bridge. A splendid race between Lincoln and
second Christ Church, in which the former, though very
near buniping, were unable to keep up the pace, thus
giving tl ie second Christ Church an opp ,rtunity of re-
trieving their lost ground, which they did, and arrived
at the winning-poet about the starting distance in ad-
vance of ...Lincoln.
The next race will take place this evening (Friday).

INDIA.

Mr. J. B. SMITH gave notice that he intended on an
early day after Whitsuntide, to call the attention of the
house to the obstacles that impeded the application of
skill and capital to the development of the productive
power of India, and that it was expedient that the direct
and immediate attention of the house should be addressed
to the best means of attaining that object. (Hear.)

NEW NOVEL OF ENGLISH SOCIETY.
Now ready at all the Libraries,
BELOW THE SURFACE : A Story of English
Country Life. 3 vols.
" It is no secret that it is Sir Arthur Hallam Elton who under-
takes to expose the secret workings of modern English society. The
hook is unquestionably clever and entertaining. It is a tale superior
to ordinary novels in tts practical application to the phases of actual
life. The rtyle is level; plain, and is good taste—felicitous epigrams
flashing through the tissue here and there."—Athenaeum..
" The novel keeps the attention fixed, and it is written in a
genial, often playful tone, so that, although containing much that is
romantic in its incidents, there is no strain for effect. The temper
is throughout excellent."—Examiner.

BOROUGH HOP

Good and fine hops continue in fair request, at full
prices. In other kinds very little is passing. The show
of samples is seasonably good.
Mid end East Kent pockets, 3/ 103 to Si 12s ; Weald
of Kent, 3/ 5s to 3/ 15s ; Sussex, 31 Os to 31 12s ; year-
lings, 1/ 106 to 3/. per cwt.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The market is very quiet for common congon,
which is nominally quoted 12id per lb, but good qualities
of both blacks and greens, are in moderate request, at full
rates.

SIIGAR.—There was a very limited quantity on offer,
and but very little business was transacted, notwithstand-
ing an active demand for all descriptions at full rates. In
the refined market prices are on the rise. Common to fine
lumps realising 71s to 75s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Tbere is an active inquiry for both plantation
and native Ceylon, and full prices are current. At the
public sales previous quotations were readily realised, and
native Ceylon has been much inquired for.
RICE.—A limited business only has been done, holders '
demanding higher rates, with but few parcels on offer.
SPICES.--In consequence of the recent large arrivals,
prices have ruled rather easier for cloves, pepper, pimento,
and cassia vera, but ginger remains firm.
SALTPETRE.—The market has been quiet, and prices
have exhibited a downward tendency.
TALLOW.--A rather extensive business has been done,
and quotations rule higher. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
56s to h6s 6d ; last three months, 56s per cwt. The stock
is still much less than at this time last year, and prices are
fully 8s to 104 higher.
GREEN FRUIT.—The market is well supported. The
price of oranges and lemons are on the advance ; some par-
cels, sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went at an
advance of 2s to 3s per package. The stock of nuts is
diminishing daily; Barcelona are likely to be higher.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The greatest at.
traction at the present time appears to be the latest ad.
dition to the collection in the large chamber of this esta.
blishment, which represents the figures of her Royal
Highness the Princess Royal and the Prince of Prussia.
The great curiosity displayed to view these portrait
models are, no doubt, in cousequenoe of the approach.

INQUEST ON A WOMAN FOUND

DROWNIM.

YcsterclAy Ennrri'ng Ca7ter reslmPd an in-
r7e4 at Vie Tac*'rn, Kj,ig.to,,, on t 11.)
:ody of Mlry Ann Kebble, alikged to have teen
aurdered by ajman named James Smith, a hat

cleaner.

A great number of witnesses were examined, and
the proceedings lasted seven hours. On the after-
noon on Wednesday week Smith and the deceased
were walking in, the direction of Kingston. They
appeared o be, on very bad terms, and quarrelled
more than once. On one occasion the man threw
his hat at the woman, and she threw her basket at
him. On another he jumped up as if to strike her
and she ran away. The man was heard to say,
"Stop till I. get you into Kingston ; it shall•be the
last day you shall ever be with me ;" and the vie-
man replied, "A - good job too." At nine
'o'clock the woman came alone to a public-house at
Long Ditton, and asked for her husband, saying
that they had "had words," and be had left
her. She also showed that her dress was torn,
and said ° that her husband had done it. She
left at ten o'clock rath-r the worse for drink.
She went to another public-house on the Ditton-
road to Esher at 11 o'clock, and left for Kingston
in about a quarter of an hour. About 12 o'clock, a
lady who was on the promenade at Kingston,

heard a man and woman talking as thcy—came
from the direction of Ditton, and the woman said,
"I have . walked 20 miles to-day," and one of
them (she though the man) said, "Just put that
basket down." Shortly afterwards she heard a
shriek. A poli2eman alfb beard shrieks about the
same time. The deceased was found dead in the
river next morning, and while the body was being
inspected, al.out 20- minutes past 5, the prisoner
was present, and stated that it was the body of We
wife. He afterwards said that she was not his wife,
but that they had cohabited for nine years. The.
prisoner, at 10 .o'clock on Wednesday night, went
to bed at the Black Lion public-house, the gates of
which • were locked up. In the morning it was
noticed that the back gates had been opened, the
staple forced, and the bar removed, apparently
from within. The prisoner came down about 7
o'clock iu the morning. The jury returned an
open verdict, " That the deceased died from immer-
sion in the water, but how she got there there was
not sufficient evidence to prove."

Country Markets.

MANCHESTER-MAY 21.

Our market this morning was thinly attended, and there
was less disposition to purchase. Wheat fully recovered
the decline of last week, but flour sold slowly at previous
rates. Oats and oatmeal unchanged. Beans were rather
cheaper. Indian corn must be quoted is per qr dearer.

was in good request. A full attendance of
pyrices unaltered, and a few beasts unsold.

CORN EXCHA.NGE.

The present week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise
and by land carriage, have been very moderate, and the
show of samples here to-day was limited. For moat kinds
there was a fair inquiry, and Monday's prices were well
supported.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. About an
average business was passing in good dry parcels, at full
quotations, but inferior qualities ruled dull.
The barley trade was steady, at fully late rates. Malt,
however, was dull.

The show of oats was only moderate, and the trade ruled
steady, at very full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour sold somewhat steadily, at ex-
treme rates.

To•day's market was but moderately supplied with

improvement in the quotations, compared with Monday,
of 2d. per 8 lbs. The show of sheep was limited, and the
mutton trade was firm, of very full prices. Lambs were
4d. per 8 lbs. dearer than on Monday, and the sale for
them ruled steady. We had a brisk demand for calves,
and the quotations advanced 4d. per g lbs. Pigs were
dull, but milch cows ruled steady, at very full prices.
