THE WAKEFIELD WRIT.

Major EDWARDS asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to carry out the promise made by him (before the
second division on Saturday last, on the question that the
debate on the Wakefield writ motion be adjourned), to the
effect that if the house re-affirmed its former decision the
Government would not oppose the issue of the writ.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said the offer which he made to the
house upon the occasion to which the hon. gentleman
referred was not accepted by the house, and hon. members
must be aware that it was not in his power to control its
decision. When the motion of which the hon. gentleman
had given notice came on for discussion the government
would state the course they intended lo take in the matter.
RATES UPON GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

Colonel ROWLEY asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, upon what grounds he had declined
to recommend to the Lords Commissioners of the Trea-
sury the payment of rates assessed on Government pro-
petty in the parish of St. Nicholas, Harwich, similar pay-
ment having been granted to other parishes in which
Government property is situated.

Sir G. C. LEWIS stated that the grounds upon wnich
he recommended that the pa 3 meat should be made in the
parish in question was that the propc rtion of Government
property to the rest of the rateable property of the parish
did not appear to him to bring them within the rule which
the Treasury applied to these cases.
BURIAL AND CEMETERY ACTS.
Lord ENFIELD moved that an address be ?resented to
her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be graciously
pleased to appoint a royal commission to inquire into the
operation and effect of the several burial and cemetery acts
in reference to the incumbents and mir tigers of parit her

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYNE-JULY 1.

At this corn market there was a limited supply of wheat.
The trade was brisk, and prices were at an improvement
on last week's rates—white making 58s to 655, red bOs
to 565. The supply of barley was small, and not much
changed in value. Oats were in limited request, with a
slow sale, from 24s to 30s per 24 stone. Beans met with
a dull sale, from 46s to 50s per qr.

GLOUCESTER ELECTION.

Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that on that day week
he should move that a new writ should issue for the city of
Gloucester.

THE MEMBER FOR CLONMEL.
Mr. SCULLY asked the First Lord of the Treasury had
the hon. member for Clonmel offered to resign his position

as one of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury,
upon the ground that Irish interests had been disregarded
by the present administration, and had such offer been fin-
ally accepted ; and if so, had the vacancy so created been
filled up, or was it intended to fill it, and when? (A laugh.)
Lord PALMERSTON—I am very sory to say that my
hon. friend to whom the hon. gentleman has alluded has
resigned the office which he held as one of the Lords of the
Treasury, and with great regret I have recommended the
crown to accept the resignation. With regard to the
reasons which induced my hon. friend to send in his re-
signation, the hon. and learned gentleman knows full well
that nothing is so unparliamentary as to impute motives to
any one. (Hear, and laughter.) If the lion, and learned
gentleman wishes to have a statement of the grounds upon
which the resignation was tendered, he had better apply to
my hon. friend himself. The office will be filled up, and it
is still open to hon. gentlemen. (Laughter.)

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL.

In reply to Mr. HADFIELD,

Lord PALMERSTON said, as the Bankruptcy and In-
solvency Bill involved legal considerations, he could not
name any day for bringing it on till the law officers of the
Crown were in the house, which he trusted would be very
shortly. It was the intention of the Government to proceed
with the bill; but of course no day could be fixed, for the
reason he had stated.

modation to be prepared at Brompton barracks for
the Ist company Royal Engineers, which has been
withdrawn from Malta, and may shortly be ex-
pected to arrive in England in the screw steam
troopship Megmra. It is the intention of the Go-
vernment to keep only one company of Royal En-
gineers at Malta, by which arrangement another
company of Engineers will be at the disposal of the
authorities to be employed on the home defences.

required for the corps of Royal Engineers, the
authorities at the Horse Guards have sanctioned
volunteering for that branch of the service from the
East India depots comprising the three battalions
at Chatham. The qualifications required of can-
didates are that they should be of a fair average
education, and in possession of a knowledge of some
trade. The three battalions gave a considerable
number of volunteers, but only 20 were found to
possess the required qualification, and these have
been transferred to headquarters at the Royal En-

FRANCE.

Railway accidents are not frequent in France. A
serious. one, however, is announced by telegram to
have occurred at La Reole, in the Bordelais. It
was caused by the collision of two trains coming in
contrary directions. The information as yet re-

ceived states that the engineers and firemen of each
train, together with 20 travellers, were wounded,
but not dangerously. The two locomotives and
eight waggons were shattered to pieces. The Pre-
fect of the department, on being made acquainted
with the accident, immediately proceeded to the
scene of the disaster.

The grand manoeuvres of the troops in the camp
of Chalons are to commence about the 15th.
Marshal the Duke de Magenta, who commands in
chief, intends, it is said, to make cavalry charge
squares of infantry from a distance of 800 metres.
In a charge in real warfare each infantry soldier
ought to be able to fire his musket six or seven
times ; but generally the effect produced on his mind
by the sight of squadrons advancing like a tempest
prevents him from attaining that number. It is
accordingly believed that by accustoming the infan-
try to the sight ofcavalry charging, and by showing
what it can do on such an occasion, each soldier will
obtain confidence in himself, and that the general
result will be excellent. Each regiment is in turn
to be subjected to the experiment. The charges of
cavalry are to stop at 20 paces from the fronts of
the infantry. Afterwards imitations of some of
the celebrated battles of the First Empire are to be
given, and from reports and plans the officers will
be made to notice the skill displayed, or the faults
committed, so as to ascertain what caused the win-
ning or the loss of each engagement.
BOURSE, July 3.—Business continues very limited,

tained. For the Account, Threes are now at 67f

THAMES.

VIOLENT ASSAULT.—CharIes Tinsdale, a bargeman, was
brought before Mr. Selce, charged with violently assault-
ing William Webster.
The complainant said he was also a bargeman. He was
in the Commercial-road yesterday-evening and met the
prisoner, who, without saying a word, struck him a severe
blow on the cheek and stunned him. He lost two bundles,
which dropped on the ground when he was struck, and
some persons ran away with them.

Mr. Selfe—Was the prisoner sober ?
Witness—Sober as a judge.
Mr. Selfe—Do you know the prisoner ?
Witness—Yes, I have reason to know bim. He ran
away with my wife, and has been cohabiting with her seven
months.

The prisoner, a rough, strong man, in defence, said—l
saw this gent'eman. He owes me money. I was informed
he was going to shoot me. He said I can shoot you in the
eye, and he hit me a blow on the side of the head.
The complainant—l owe him no money.
The prisoner—What ! Not for five weeks' work—that
is a good one=l'll make you pay the money.
Mr. Selfe—Well, do so ; but don't be quarrelling in the
streets. People are getting exceedingly quarrelsome this
hot weather. You are fined 10s., and if you cannot pay it
you will go to prison for seven days.
London, England, 1861-07-04

on its back could it have turned itself on its
stomach?
Mr. Wilson—The child was too weak to turn
itself round.
Mr. Barker—Was it possible for the child to have
lived a quarter of an hour if it had been left in
the bed in the way the witnesses described find-
ing it ?
Mr. Wilson said it was just possible that the
child might have lived the time stated by the
witness Manley.
Mrs. Collins, also a lodger in the house, said on
Monday the prisoner, about 11 o'clock, went into
her (witness's) room, and said, she had had a very
bad night's rest with the baby ; and she wished it
was dead and in Heaven. That was all she heard
her say about the child.
Mr. Wilson, in answer to further questions, said
that when he examined the prisoner at the station-
house, he found that she had a very full breast of
milk, and in fact must have been suffering pain
from net having it drawn.
Police constable Forth, 380 N, said when he
took the prisoner into custody he told her it was
for attempting to suffocate her child by putting
a rag into its mouth. She said she was not aware
that the rag was in its mouth, but that she gene-
rally placed a rag under its chin, as it frequently
vomited.
Mr. Barker cautioned the prisoner in the usual
, terms, telling her that what she did say might be
I used in evidence against her at her trial, and
then asked if she had anything to say in answer to
the charge.
The prisoner reserved her defence.
Mr. Barker fully committed the prisoner to
Newgate for trial.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches Into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oileake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs.,
at the cost of 5d.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing lid. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 165. per cwt., £16165. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,
JOSEPH THORLEY. Steam Mills, Caledonian-road,
Bing's-cross, April 8, 1861.
Single barrels, weighing 14 cwt., may be had for 305., at 77,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Having obtained observations of the splen-
did comet now visible on three successive evenings,
I have been enabled to calculate the elements of its
orbit, which I now transmit, together with a few
particulars founded upon them.
The comet arrived at its least distance from the
sun about 1 o'clock on the morning of June 10, in
heliocentric longitude 244 deg. 35 min., being then
separated from him by 76,000,000 miles. It crossed
the plain of the earth's orbit from the south to the
north side in longitude 279 dug. 1 min. on June
28, in a path inclined 85 deg. 58 min. to the ecliptic.
The true orbital motion is direct.
Its distance from the earth on Sunday evening
was rather over 13,000,000 miles, and a little less
than 15,000,000 at 11 o'clock last evening. It is
therefore recoding slowly from us, as well as from'
the sun. The apparent length of the tail last night
was 70 deg., corresponding to a true length of
16,000,000 miles. The nucleus, which is extremely
brilliant, was about 400 miles in diameter.
The comet has a very striking and interesting
appearance in the telescope; but it would be diffi-
cult to describe it without the assistance of a dia-
gram. It is certainly not the comet of Charles V.
(1556), the return of which has been anticipated
about this epoch.
I subjoin a few places, calculated from my ele-
ments, which will sufficiently define the track in
the heavens during the ensuing week :

REVIEWS OF THE WORK. •
"Curtis on Manhood.--This is a truly valuable work, and
'hould be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
id It arch, 1856.

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases,
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirieal hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

BARON RICASOLI AND ENGLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN'.
Sin,—For many years past those who have watched the
progress of affairs in Italy must have marked out Baron
Ricasoli as a man of inflexible will, of chivalrous nature,
and unquestionable patriotism. His self-abnegation is re-
markable, even in Italy, and amongst her leading politicians
and statesmen, who " strike fiery off indeed," as compared
with those of other nations, for the possession and exhibi-
tion of that high quality of greatness.
About a year since I was in communication with Baron
Ricasoli, and the following extract from a letter then re-
ceived may not, now that he has succeeded Count Cayour
in the Premiership of the kingdom of Italy, prove unin-
teresting to English readers
" Florence, July 22, 1860.
"My dear Sir,— . . . I prize much the expression
of your spontaneous affection for my native country, Italy.
That country is now in course of self-regeneration, to the
benefit of humanity at large, and ere long will take her
place, a young and vigorous sister, amidst the family of the
most civilised nations, confident of finding in, her work of
regeneration an ever faithful and ever earnest friend in
England. Satisfied that this confidence of my country will
not prove fallacious, it is a grateful duty for me to offer up
prayers for the felicity of the generous English nation, and
cordially press your hand as a token of that affection which
already unites the hearts of those peoples of which we form
a part. " BETTINO RICASOLI.
" Mr. William Wilson, London."
Such arc, the sentiments of Italy's first subject towards
England ; and I doubt not but that all those who have
watched that subject's career, and who love Italy, will
agree with me in thinking that in such pregnant and
troublous times it is indeed well that such men are.—l am,
sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM WILSON.
