A System Of Thuggee Has Been Discovered ...
the bed-clothes and piftow on which , she was . lying . He then seized her by her hair , and at the same time beating *?_ fiercet-y about thei head and face -with his fist , dragged linr ui > on the floor aiid out into the" passage . Nor was he at ; fied "without kicking her ' with his heavy boots on Various parts of the body . A valiant lodger , aroused by tlS screams of the poor woman , ran out ancj . brought a t ) olicein » n to the rescue , who found her clingiiig to the f ecrs of her husband , and vainly striving tip prevent his kicking heir . She ¦ was' 130 much injured that she was removed to the hospital in a cab . Mr . Hammill considered this too serious an offence to be deajt ' with summarily , and committed Hodges to Newgate for trial . A noor Irish woman was charged before Mr . Tyrwhitt ,
on Saturday , vvith deserting her four children in front of St . Pancras workhouse . She said $ Sne left them because they were starring with her , and she did not like to die through want where there was plenty . With assistance she could have managed wi $ i them , but whenever she applied for it she was driven away . It was stated by the gaoler that she had been sent by the magistrate ' s order to St . Paricras . An overseer said he had offered to send her with her children to Ireland . The poor woman replied that she would be worse off there ; all she wanted was a
little help . Mr . Tyrwhitt addressed the overseer indignantly , observing that it was always the same with ' the St . Pancras officials . They had turned the woman and her children foodless from the door , which ought to have been open to them , and , as they had gone out of the way to give her in charge for an offence incurred , in fact , by themselves , by refusing relief , he would enforce the law by sending heir to prison for a month , which would be no punishment to her , and compel the parish to take care of her children . He considered that their conduct was cruel in the extreme . The woman seemed grateful for her sentence .

Health Of London During The Week. The Nu...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last ; Saturday . 'is nearly the same as in the preceding week , and amounts to 903 . - In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1842-51 the average number was 880 , which , with a correction for increase of population , becomes 068 . The mortality now returned is , therefore , less than the estimated amount by 65 . The mortality produced by diseases of the respiratory organs last week was 104 , and is near the usual amount for this- season of the year . Epidemics , were fatal in / the preceding week in 209 cases , and last week in 196 , a decrease which would be somewhat more marked , but for diarrhoea , a complaint which may be expected , with the approachof the summer months , to become more prevalent . Small-pox destroyed 28 children under 15 yeaTS , and 7 adults , a mortality double the average of corresponding weeks ; in five cases , two of which occurred at the ages of 22 and 32 years , it is stated that vaccination had been jjruTWMialy performed . The fatal cases of scarlatina amount tO 41 . . ' " ' ' ¦ ¦ ¦ . ' :-. ¦• - ¦ .-. " ' ¦ ¦ ' Two deaths ascribed to English cholera were registered in the week j and four deaths occurred in the Small-pox Hospital .

Sattteday, June 19. The House Of Commons...
Sattteday , June 19 . The House of Commons held a morning sitting , and advanced several bills a stage . In the evening , Mr . Horsman , with reference to a notice of motion on tlie paper for the nomination of the select committee on the Frome Vicarage , said that , since the House had . come to a vote upon this subject , with every desire to give effect to it , lie had encountered difficulties in endeavouring to nominate a committee . There was no precedent , he observed , for laying before the House ( as Mr . Gladstone proposed ) heads or articles of charges , except where impeachment was intended and avowed ;
and he had no right , whatever might be bis own views , to commit the 156 gentlemen who had voted with him to that course . There was another consideration to which the House would do well to attend—namely , that it would establish a precedent that no future case of this kind could be brought before Parliament unless it was to be followed by impeachment . At this late period of the session , considering the state of public business , there was no probability of his having an op- * portunity . of nominating the committee ; and he
thought it , therefore , better to state that , in . consequence of the difficulties thrown in his way , he did not think it his duty to move the nomination . Mr . Horsmari recapitulated some of the details of the case , and cited authorities in justification" of his statement upon a former occasion respecting the alleged canonical obligation of the Bishop of Bath and Wells to" institute Mr ! Bennett within twenty-eight days , and observed , in conclusion , that the result of tlie late vote was an indication of the feeling of the House and the country , that whenever there were such abuses in the church ,
there was a Parliamentary tribunal which would take cognizance of the offence . Mr . ( xDADSTONE observed that Mr . Horsman had upon this occasion discreetly abstained from referringto the whole of his charges . He had accused the Bishop of Bath and Wells of a deliberate violation of the law in not subjecting Mr . Bennett to due examination , in receiving him without a certificate , and in instituting him with haste and precipitancy for tho purpose of defrauding the parishioners of their legal rights . He ( Mr . Gladstone ) had shown that the Bishop did examine Mr . Bennett , and that if he had not done so
he would not have broken the law . AH accusations in that House should be grounded upon some definite basis ; and to the plea of Mr . Horsman , that he did not intend to impeach the bishop , ho ( Mr . Gladstone ) answered , that it was his duty to have done so . If a great officer of tho State , vested with judicial functions , was capable of a direct violation of the law , committed ( as charged ) with the corrupt motive of defrauding the parishioners of their just and legal rights , there was no case so proper for impeachment . But that House
never entertained charges of this nature , made in so irresponsible a manner , and with a disinclination to put them in a definite shape , or it would become a rofugo of licensed libols and defamation . In all criminatory proceedings the House had always acted upon the evidence of somo written document , either adduced in the first instanco , or arising obiter in tho course of inquiry . Upon this principlo ho had done no more than what was just in requiring that Mr . Horsman should write down tho charges ho proposed to prefer against tho biahoi ) .
Sir W . P . Wood entered at somo length mto dotailH , puroly technical , in explanation of an opinion ho hnd , given upon a former occasion . Tho CiiANOKi / fcOJi of tho ExonKQTJint interposed , and recommended that tho dinciiHSion , which was not altogether regular , should bo allowed to drop j stating , on tho part of tho Government , that if Mr . Gladstone hud made tho motion of , which lie had given notico in tho ovont of a cominittco boing nominated—that tho ohargort bo reduced to heads or articles—thoy would have foil ; it their duty to support the motion . Tho law iii respect to tho institution of clerks , ho added , was in on unsatisfactory state , and it would be tlio duty of tho
Government to consider the subject * with a view to its amendment . ¦ . , _• . After a- few remarks by Sir A . CockbtteN and Mr . Newdegate the conversation terminated . After a slight opposition , the Crime and Outrage ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time , by 118 to 13 , and the Encumbered Estates Bill by 78 to $ . , -. The DtrKE of Aegyxi drew the attention of the House Of Lords to the important petition from New South Wales , the gist of which will be found in our Parliamentary Report . Lord GBEr made a speech on the occasion , but nothing of importance transpired .,
The Semapjiore Of Marseilles States That...
The SemapJiore of Marseilles states that a letter from Rome had reached that port , announcing that three British men-of-war had arrived at Ancona , to protect Mr . Murray > sentenced to death by the tribunal of the Consulta . It appears by a letter received by the uncle of Murray , living in the Mornington-road , from Mr . Moore , the British consul at Aneona , that he does not expect that the extreme penalty of the law will be inflicted on Murray , whom he considers innocent of the dreadful crime imputed to him . He adds that the universal voice in Ancona is against him , and that he stands singular in his opinions i-p ' o-nrrlmcr him . which has led to many hot disputes with
the local authorities and others . He thinks Murray has been very imprudent , and his imprudence has led to the present deplorable results . He considers his life perfectly safe now , but how far he can proceed in demanding his liberation he does not yet know , for the fact of his having been a paid agent of the Papal police during the revolutionary turmoil in the country weakens his hands rn defending him . Mr . Freeborn , the British consul at Kome , also writes : — " My private opinion is , that Murray ' s sentence will be commuted , his life saved , and iiltimately his liberty obtained / but unfortunately he has brought himself into his present perilous situation by acts of the most reprehensible imprudence . " .
Mr. Whiston's Case Was Part Heard Yester...
Mr . Whiston ' s case was part heard yesterday in tho Arches Court . _ , Yesterday , the thirty-seventh anniversary oi the Jiattle of Waterloo was celebrated , as usual , by a banquet at Apsley House . " The Duke" was in excellent health and spirits . Eight "Waterloo men have died since the last banquet . . A meeting was yesterday held at the Literary and bcientific Institution , Aldersgate-street , over which Sir Peter Laurie presided , to adopt measures for the suppression of betting-houses in the city of London . The business of the meeting was commenced by a resolution , moved by Mr . Ward , that a petition be presented to Parliament for their suppression , which was seconded by Mr . Batty , and carried and Woodward then
unanimously . Mr . Mottram Mr . T . , addressed the meeting , the latter gentleman pointing out at somo length the evils resulting from the present system of gambling ; after which Mr . De Jersey tollowed in the same spirit ; and Sir P . Laurie and Mr . F . T . Norm having also spoken , a resolution that a petition to the Legislature bo prepared was carried , and the meeting broke up . Last night , Mr . G . S . Brent held an inquest , at the Duke of Clarence , Gray ' s-inn-lane , upon Jonathan Nicholls , a schoolmastor , aged ' 61 . Deceased , whose body was a mere skeleton , had been formerly a schoolmaster , but was latterly so reduced as to be compelled to earn his livelihood by writing window bills for tradesmen , and with all his industry , sometimes only realized a few pence a week . The pariah allowed a loaf a weok for tho support of himself and his wife , who is paralysed . During the last twelve
months deceased was dail y sinking from sheer starvation , but still buoyed up with tho hopo of getting somo property to which ho was entitled . On Monday morning his wife found him dead in bed at her side . Tho following day he became entitled to 120 Z . cash , and QOl . a year . Tho . foreman , on behalf of tho jury , expressed thoir horror and disgust at tho parochial authorities limiting tho support of deceased ana his paralysed wife to a solitary loaf of bread a weok , instead of inquiring into their wants , and contributing a . sufficient quantity of food for their support . The coronor summed up , and tho jury returned a verdict in accordance with tho modical evidence , and accompanied by tho following addendum : —" And tho jurors express thoir opinion that tho applicants for relief on this parish
ought uniformly bo visited by proper officers by order of tho parochial authorities , immediately after tho application for roliof , and from timo to timo afterward *? , bo long as they are in rocoipt of that rolicl ' , in order that tho oxtent of thoir wants may bo ascertained . " The Metropolitan Association for Improving tho Dwollinga of tho Industrious Classes held its annual meeting yesterday afternoon nt Willis ' s ltoomn , and Biv ltalph lloward presided . Thoro was a very Hmall attendance of , fthnroholflors , but ; among thom were the Earl of Carlislo , Lord Robert GroHvonor , Viscount Ebrington , Earl Mtzwilliam , and sovoral ladies of distinction , Tho Chairman , in oponing fcho proceeding ^ , stated a number of facts , which wont to fihow that tho affairs of tho association are becoming
remunerative in a pocuniary point of view , and that thoBO who have invented their money in tho undertaking may look forward honcoforth to tho prospect of a xnodoruto dividend .
