Therefore he urged ou tau Chancellor of the Exchequer , tho propriety of ri- ; : ea ! iiig ti : e duty on paper . The consequence of the re . ' a :: ; ion of the paper dutv iu Ireland in 1837 was an incrcare in tii-.: manufacture of that article from 3 , 700 , 000 ! bs . in tbat year to G . SOO .

The highest amount of paper duly received from Ireland was £ -11 , 103 . was it worth r > h .: s . as regarded that country to keep up a gigantic system of Excise fur that pultrv revenue ? Mr . J . L . Riciiinourgrd , as au argum ent for repealing the stamp -utv , th * perplexities in which the law respecting uns-tamvi ' d yablications had tctn involved , and the oppression to which ihuv led .

      . . . , The AiionxEi-GiSEEAL gave an expcs : fion of his official duty in relation to presceatiras fcr crasson of the stamp doties , and of tie fteecedings is Ihe case of tbe Housebold Narrative of Current Events . " Mr . M'Gbegok c .-ulJ net consent to relinquish so large sn amount of dutv at present ; butiho sublet should be taken into consnieralion next session , with the view of reneiii-jg : o injurious and obnoxious a tax as the . paper duty . Air IIciiE snid it -as not nroposed to repeal that duty

      BOW- but he wanted tho surplus of £ 400 , 000 applied to the repeal or transfer of the other duties , instead of paying it ia the shape of bounty to militiamen . Bat he believed the stamp dutv would , if removed , be replaced by post age . He hoped prt of tbe surplus would be devoted to making tho experiment of a reduction of these duties . He could tell ihe richt hon . gentleman if this were done , there nero parties ready to embark £ 20 , 000 in supplying tho public with a paper " for a halfpenny , which would be well conducted , and contain all the current news , political and social , of the time .

      Mr . K . Seyjier was of opinion that , though these taxes were objectionable in principle , it would be inexpedient to debate or detenu ne their repeal in the present parliament . He should vote against the motion of the hon . gentleman —not being , like some hon . members , in the habit , for political or for any other reasons , of voting black was white . ( Lnushler . j Mr . Waeley thought tbe hon . member was doing something very like what he deprecated , for he was going to vote against a " motion which contained a principle which , when out of office , had bis and the opposition of the present government . The right hon . gentleman , the Chancellor of the Exchequer , was a literary man , and the people hoped on that account the question would have received a liberal solution . With rerVreccs to the repeal of theduty on newspapers aud advcriisEmcnts , ho considered the arguments in favour of the abolition had never yet been answered , and this being so , he conceived it might be safely taken as the fact tbat the justice of the case was all on the side of the abolutfonists .

      Mr . M- Gibson would add the following to his first motion : — " As early as reay be with reference to the security of the public revenue . " The division would be taken first on that motion . The next division would be for the immediate abolition of the newspaper stamp duly , as there was an adequate surplus to permit such abolition . The third division would be for the reveal of the advertUement duty , there being an adequate surplus also for that purpose . The CaASCELtonof the Exchequer begged to be permitted to say a few words in explanation- Hon . members were much in error in stating that he ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer ) had informed the house that there taxes were under the consideration of her Majesty ' s government . "What hs had said , and what he meant to convey to tne b uss , was , that these taxes wou- 'd be considered as p ^ rt of

      the general system of Usatk-n ; but he bad guarded himself from specifically station that these particular taxes wero node * consideration . He might also remark on the charge made against him—namely , that he made a diversion of the decision of the house on the previous occasion , by stating that be would pronounce an opinion on the sut ject when the budget should be brought forward . What he meant to convey io the honse was , tbat he would not state in detail the views of the government upon any particular tax until the financial statement was made , meaning that the hon . gentleman would receive an answer from the financial statement ; because it would prove that , instead of the large surplus which existed in tbe imagination of soma hen . gentlemen who were urging Ibe repeal of different items of taxation , It was a mere nominal surplus . ( Hear , hear . ) He should therefore warn tbe house not to come to a precipitate

      conclusion , which really would pledge the house in a very ipiponaut manner , and which would exercise -a mt = st inconvenient effect on the finances of the country . ( Rear , hear . ) The house thsn divided on the first ^ solution , as regarded the abolition of tbe duty on paper , when the numbers

[ The fo lowing appeared in our Second Edition of last week ] : —

      FRIPAT-May . 7 . HOttSE OF LORDS—The Law of Evidence ( Scovland ) Bill and the Disabilities Repeal Bill were read asecond time . Some other business waa despatched , and tbe House adjourned at an early ban-. HOUSE OF COMMONS-On the question that the House at its rising , do adjourn until Monday , Mr . Hume complained that the Property Tax Bill had been read a second time at nearly 2 o ' clock that morning , after many members bad left the House , not expecting tbat a bill of so much importance should have been proceeded with at so late anhour ; and he tcok occasion to say tbat tbe Houee ought not to continue a bill so unjust in its operation without a pledge from the Government that they would carry out the free trade principle by removing all protecting duties , so as to pat the agriculturist and all other interests upon au equal footing . An animated but somewhat irregular discussion fallowed , which , occupied nearly two hours . Tho House then went again into committee upon

      The Mium Biu .. —A division took place upon tho question of filling up the second blank in the 7 th clause with { bewords "fifty thousand ; " wbich was affirmed by 13 a » gainst 61 . Mr . Bbighi moved a proviso to the clause , exempting Officers and men from amy corporal punishment . Major Bxeesfobd objected tbat thia distinction between ihe regular army and the militia would be f derogatory to the former , and that no case bad been made out for placing two portions of our military force under different laws . The proposition gave rise to a discussion upon tho general question of flogging in the army , -which went on to a great length , and grew at last so warm as to call for the interference of the Chairman , At the close of the discussion

      Mr . Walpols said , the general question , whether it was advisable to co away with corporal punishment , could not be determined at tbat moment ; but as tbe Mutiny Act had passed , whereby the soldiers of tbe regular army were liable to corporal punishment , the only question was whether the militia should be placed upon a better fooling . He thought that the soldiers in the regular army would in snch a case ft-el themselves degraded , and that if corporal punishment were done away with in the militia it should be done away with in all the forces . The Committee having divided , the proviso wj > s rejected by 199 against 92 . The Cumbmas then reported progress and obtained leave fo sit again oa . Monday ; so that the 7 th clause is not yet ; decided upon . In Coraoiittee on tbe Property Tax Bill

      , The Chaxceixqb of the Exchequer brought up a new clause , the object of which was to provide that the assessment of last year under Schedules A and B should remain force , so that a new assessmeat would be unnecessary . The clause was agreed to , and the hill passed through s Committee . $ tber bids were advanced a stage , the County Elections Sill was thrown out by a vote of 77 against CI ; and the onse adjourned till Mondav .

      DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSIOX . -FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE . Another of thase horrible accidents occurred on Thursday at Hepburn , six . miles from Keweastle , on the South side of the Tyne . The colliery has an up-cast shaft , a downcast shaft , and a shaft used for the pumps . It was considered to be well constructed , but from the fiery character of the scum , some men had recently left . The flat where the accident happened was wrought with lamps , and the cause cf tbe ignition of the gas has not yet been discovered . It appears tbat there would be two hundred

      men ia the pit at th « time of the accident ; tbat the men who were killed in tho flat were pursuing their usual avocation of bearing and putting coal ; and that at the moment tbe explosion took p lace , a pony , drawing some empty tubs on a roily , was coming into the workings . It was hauling tbem round a S ^ . v p 0 n ? andTtnbs would be driving a . body of srawpnerio air before thens , and it is supposed th at the tood 5 fSS ~ e air « was driven by it against the wall and Mwlti , ;^ W *"» »?*< « d severely burnt , but 555 £ 7 tZ ? ^ : a « -- ™ , andtheboy diiving « £ Sc ^ EK *^™»» - An nou ' r after theaecideflt w ° « wxCswere brOBgl ; t lo bank > Th nuitedead :

      so were the whole of them that were found . The men and boys so suddenlv destroyed number twenty-two . The colliery , is situated close to the village , and of course the families of the whole of tho men and boys down tbe pit , were soon on the bank . The scene was too fearful to describe . A number of medical gentlemen were present , but as tho unfortunate sufferers were quite dead when brought to the bank , their services were not called into requisition . This is the third explosion , with loss of life , that has taken place at this colliery . The previous one took place three rears ag \ when tbirtv-three men and boys were billed . Most of the men have left wives and families . Tho number of children left fatherless , so far as we can ascertain , will amount to at least forty .

      Conir MAniut .-PoRTsMounr , May . v -i "« w ™»»»» s Cocr t-mattial upon the crew of the Birkeuuead steam-vessel , was held to-day , on boini the Victory , i he court found " that no blame is attributable to Mr . John Archbold . or anv of tbe other surviving officers or crew of the Lirkenbeafl , tried for the wreck of that ship , or for their conduct subsequent thereto , but on the contrary , the Court sets reason to admire and applaud the steadiness thown by aU in the most trvinjj circumstances , and the Court doth fully acquit the said John Archbold , and the other surviving officers and crow of the said ship Birkenhead . ' , Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out at Mr . oheffer s No . 6 , White Conduit-street , Islington . On t . io neighbours rushinin thev beheld a fearful scene , for the whole

      g of the ground floor ' back was completely enveloped jn flame , and in the midst was Mrs . Sheffcr endeavouring to rescue an infant belonging to her , which was ia a cradle , and also wrapped in fire . By a desperate effort , the poor creature laid hold of her child , and brought it out of the room . In so doing , the mother was fearfuilv burned , and the child v * as so dreadfully injured by tho action of tho fire , that not the least hopes can be entertained of its recoverv . The engines arrived , but the fare was not subdued until the greater part of the furniture in tbat part of the premises in which the disaster occurred was destroyed , and , unfortunately , the sufferer was not insured . The orisin of the fire is not known .

      Fiugutfcl Deaths . —A watchman , named Brooks , emploved at some brick-works , at Walworth , was found almost totitllv consumed , lving on the top of a large brick kiln whichwas burning furiously , that portion upon which Brooks lav being nearly red hot . It is almost needless to add that the unfortunate man was quite dea < l , not a vestige of his clothin » being left unburnfc . A supposition has been raised that Brooks , in tho course of the night , fell into the mud with which the bricks were made , and , being wet , went on the top of the kiln for the purpose of drying himself , but that the annihilating effects of the gaseous vapour arising from the kiln ov . rcame him , ho fell senseless on the spot where he was found by tho workmen , ar . d while there had met his untimely and frightful end . An inquest has been held at Liverpool on the body of William Barnes , an old man , who was accidentally buried alive in a manure pit , beneath the stables of Mr . Hayes , of IsliVton-souare . It appeared tbat on Monday last , two

      of Mr . Haye's men found the covering ot tne pit removea , and in order to get their vehicles into the coach-house , thev replaced the covering . It is believed that the deceased , who purchased the contents of such places for manure , had gone down to examiue the midden , when he ¦ was thus buried alive , and must havo been instancy suffocated . The body was not discovered for some days . SmoiDE . —Yesterday afternoon Mr . W . Payne held an inquest at the Bull ' s Head Tavern , Bread-street , Cheapside , touching the death of Elia G .

      Law Intelligence. Trial For Adultery, Bo...

      LAW INTELLIGENCE . TRIAL FOR ADULTERY , BOSS V . BOX ! f . In the Consistory Court , Tuesday , May II , before Dr . Lushington , a suit for divorce , by reason of adultery , brought by Mr . John Bonn , of Helton , aramst his wife , Mary Bnnu . A libel was given in by Mr . Bunn . pleading th ? marriage to hsve taken place on the 12 th of August , 1833 , and the cohabitation of the parties at several places until their final separation in 1 S 12 ; that Mrs . Bunn imbibed habits of intoxication , in consequence of which she was removed on various occasions to herfathcr ' s house , but again returned to her husband , until the separation took place under a deed , by which ' he agreed to allow her 10 s . per week , nrovided that

      she behaved with propriety ; that in June , 1 S 43 , she committed adultery with a person named Carter , at an eatinghouse in Bucklerabury , but it did not come to the knowledge of Mr . Bunn until March , 1819 , whan he brought an action against Carter , in which the judgment went by default , and the jury assessed the damages at £ 50 . A defensive allegation was given in by Mrs . Bunn , in which she denied the asserted habits of intoxication , and alleged that the separations were caused by the cruelty ofjMr . Bunn ; tbat Mrs . Bonn ' s father having lenther husband £ 200 ., and refusing to lend him more , he increased bis cruelty ; that the action was brought by collusion with C . rier , in order that Mr . Bunn , might relieve himself from the payment of the 10 s . per week under the deed of separation . The plea concluded by charging Mr . Bunn with adu '« tery with his own barmaid . Additional and farther additional articles were given in charging Mr . Bunn with adultery with two other women , and alleging the birth of children . Dr . Jenncr . on behalf of Mr . Bunn . submitted

      that the adultery of Mrs . Bunn was clearly proved ; that the recriminatory charges had not been made out , nor had the cruelty been established . If the witnesses were credible , there could be no donbt about tho intoxication of the wife . Dr . Haggard ( with whom was Mr . Deane ) , on the part of Mrs . Bunn , contended tbat there was a complete failure of the charge made against her : that with respect to one of the women the adultery of Mr . Bunn was proved beyond all question , as was also his cruelty to bis wife . He therefore prayed the court to dismiss the suit against Mrs . Bunn , and to gcaat her a divorce from her husband . The learned Judge , in deliveting sentence , observed tbat he had no hesitation in saying that the evidence adduced to establish the charge aaainst Mrs . Bunn had failed , and that the whole charge from the beginning to the end was a foul conspiracy . The allegation of adultery against the husband was proved with respect to one woman , but not tbe others . Mrs . Bunn , therefore , was entitled to the sentence of the court on that ground , bat not as to the cruelty . Of course Mr Bunn must be condemned in all tbe costs , which he richly

      upon Messrs . Praed , the bankers . Mr . Robertson being thrown oif his guard , at once cashed the cheque , which he , the next day , found to be forged .

      WILLIAM NEWTON , LABOUR'S CHAMttUN , run THE TOWER HAMLETS . A public meeting of Electors and Son-electors was ^ ield at the Temperance Hall , Princes-tquare , St . Geortre ' s-intbc-East , on Wednesday evening , May 12 th . Mr . Egg was called to the chair , and briefly introduced Mr . William Newton , amidst much cheering , to their notice . Mr . Newton said , he bad come there to give an explicit declaration of bis political sentiments ; and he unhesitatingly declared himself in favour of Universal or Manhood Suffrage , with the Ballot , Short Parliament ? , and the other adjuncts so necessary to its proper working . Next came Reli gions Liberty , made more p- ' quant from the parliamentary dfchate of last night ; and he deplored the tone of tbat debate , because it was calculated to excite in . creased rancour in tbe breasts of thousands . For himself ,

      if returned , he certainlv should vole against t ) ie Maynootb Grant , not in opposition to Catholicity , but because all state votes for Ecclesiastical purposes were bad in principle and a great evil . ( Loud cheers . ) Religious persecution was the darkest and most disgraceful page of our history . And in last night ' s debate he thought he saw the raising up of a no Popery cry , the ripping up of old sores , for the purpose of diverting ihe attention oi the people from questions which might be turned to the best possible account . Let such matters be dealt honestly with , and whilst abolishing tbe grant of £ 30 , 000 to Maynooth , do not forget the monster grievance of what is facetiously termed the " Slate Church " of Ireland . He looked on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill of last session as a mockery , whilst it was held as an insult by large mass's of . 'fie people , and he believed thosi sentiments

      accorded with the opinions held not only in the Hamlets , but the country generally . ( Loud cheers . ) He was for Education—National Education . ( Cheers . ) He knew an objection was raised , that bad government the control ol educational institutions , nationally , tbey would inculcate slavery ; but be had greater faith in intelligence , and did not believe tbat an intslligant people , could lotta remain slaves . ( Loud cheers . ) He would like to see local boards established for educationa purposes , such boards being under the Control of the government- in fine . , some such a measure as tbat brought forward by Mr . W . J . Fox , whers rates would be applied to educational purposes , on secular grounds , in which persons of all creeds could participate—( loud cheers)—which he conceived was the only means of furnishirg education for all ; and , depend onit , if a

      proper education waa not imparted , the youthful mind would not remain vacant ; but instead of virtue , vice would be inculcated by means of a street education—( hear , hear)—and , at the present moment we had one hundred thousand cf such victims of crime and immorality infesting our streetsa plague-spot on our existence—a blotch on our civilisation . ( Loud cheers . ) The other candidates who sought their suffrages had the advantages of social position , or great era orical powers , neither of which could he boast , but he ookedfor their support on the ground of the purity , simplicity , and nobility of the principles of which be was the humble exponent . He stood before them emphatically Labour ' s advocate . ( Loud cheers . ) On the one hand he saw hugb piles of wealth , on the other masses of poverty , crime , and wretchedness , and , in too many cases , those who

      would honestly labour could not find employment ; so much so was this the case , that thousands in this borough rose in the morning and sallied forth in hopes of obtaining a day ' s work , to earn the pittance of half-a-crown , hut , alas ! return in the evening to their desolate homes and disconsolate families , the victims of disappointment . He calculated there were , at least , half a million of able-bndied paupers receiving parochical relief . ( Laud cheers . ) The remedy he suggested was the employment of what was denominated surplus labour on the waste lands of the country . ' Tho relations between Capital and Labour were not what they ought to be , it might le good as regards cotton , B-0 ol , pigs , and sheep , but not such as should prevail between man and man . This may not be orthodox political economy , out it was in accordance with the principles of humanity . He knew there were those who said , " do not interfere between Capital and Labour . " But did not they Interfere > Witness the Truck Act , the Poor Law and our numerous charities . Did not all this show the rottenness of present society ! It waa not charity the people requiredbut honest remuneration for honest

      , labour . He claimed a revision of the laws of partnership , so that working men might associate and work for themselves he wished to cultivate ahome market , and a mutuality of interests between the producer and consumers ; thus socially elevating the entire people . Such were the views that had induced Mm to accept the candidature , and if they agreed with the principles he had put forth , he asked them for their support . Tho Tower Hamlets had the largest industrial constituency of any metropolitan Uorougb , and he thought Labour should have its veritable organ in the House of Commons . If that mcetinR , and the people of the Tower Hamlets , agreed with his sentiments , he ssked them to return him to Farliamcut at the ensuing election , iu order that he might have the opportunity of attempting to put these principles into a legal thapc . ( Immense cheering . ) Alter several questi . ns had been put to Mr . Kewton , and anwi-red b y that gentleman to tbogreat saijslaction ot the meeting , on the motion of ilejsrs . Jennings and Clark , it was resolved that Mr . Newton was a fitting peVson to represent the Tower Ilamletj in Parliament . After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved .

His awning must be put up , though in more nor . them localities it may be deferred a week longer . The cloths should bo rolled up at tho sides , except in very windy or sunny weather , when they might hs let dotvn on that side where these prevail ; should it be very warm at the period of flowering , the paths round the bed may ba watered ; this will prove highlv beneficial , and tend to prolong the bloom . Carefully shade Polv anthuses from excessive sun ; they very speedily contract red spider , if neglected in this respect ; a cool , shady situation , will he found most suitable for them .

Plants , however well hardened Off , frcqueniy Suffer from the sudden exposure , especially in bleak situations We find it useful to place tny odd spray or branches we mav havo between them for a « cek or two ; they serve to ward off cold cutting winds , and save too much watering , which at this time of the year hud better be avoided . Place sticks to tie up Picotees Car nations , & c , as they advance ; and stake Hollyhocks , which if strong old plants , should be thinned nut to three or four shoots to each plant .

      Ploughing bv Steam . —Much attention has been attracted bv the model of a very ingenious mechanical invention for plouchin ' land by steam power . The inventor is Mr . Alexander T . Watson " of Staten Island . The machine would have , when in operation ' very much the appearance of a railroad locomotive , being so arranged as to pass steadily along through a field , dragging tbe ploughs , harrows , and seid-driils bihind . The ploughs , twelve In number , or less , are attached to the aftcr . pait of the locomotive frame , and are so arranged ns to be easily controlled by those who havo the machine in charge . They can be elevated or depressed for light or deep ploughing as may be' required The harrows and seed-drills follow the ploughs , so that all the operations of turning the soil , harrowing , and plantinj ? ar completed at tbe same lime . The wheels of tbe machine are cone structed in a very peculiar manner , and take hold of the groundin a way which gives an enoraions force with which to overcome the resistance of the ploughs whether ( in hard or soft soil i n the : whole , thcinvpntion . seems admirably adapted to the use ' s for which it is ntfiidcdtfuuld it be found

At digging time it is JUSt the Same : and in severe weather he is very familiar , coming into houses and accepting such fare as is put in his way , with evidently more satistaction and gratitude than is evinced by many of the more Iteitimate occupants of such dwellings . But it is only in severe weather that his boldness becomes so apparent . It is then tbat he haunts the tnresuolds ot our homes with an assurance that it would be wickedneas to punish . The poor robin will then come and pick up crumbs tbat are thrown down to him , much the same as an ordinary fowl ; and I remember one very severe winter many years ago , when tome men were regularly at work in an open shed ( a saw-pit ; in one of our northern counties , that a robin became so tame as to come dnllv

      lor several times a day ) , and eat crumbs of bread out of the hand ot tue men ; tt was certainly a token of great confidence to see the pretty bird fluttering about , as if half afraid of the hasarduous enterprise . But he would finally alight on the fingers of ihe handheld out in friendship to him , and alter partaking of a crumb or two would fly off again , hut speedily returned to finish his meal , at the conclusion of which he commonly gave a song for the bounty awarded lum . The long continuation of the snow rendered cur companion tame indeed ; and one of us generall y made it a point of duty to attend on a Sunday , and feed our little favourite .

      MURDEROUS OUTRAGE . At tho Marylobone Police Court on Monday , Timothy Murphy , Thomas Kalian , and Thomas Ryan , Irish labourcrs , were placed at the bar for the third time , charged with an outrage of a most murderous description upon Police-consta ble Pollard , 78 S , and two other parties — Mr . Birmingham , surgeon , Kentish-town , said that besides a great many bruises , ho found upon Pollard ' s ' head a wound an inch and an half long-, evidentl y inflicted with a blunt instrument ; for some timo to come the officer would be incapacitated from doing duty . —In order to afford time for the transcribing of the depositions , the prisonors wero remanded for a week ; they will then go for trial .

      ATTEMPTED SELF-DESTRUCTION . -At the Worship-street Police Court on Tuesday , James Stone , a miserable-looking elderly man was placed at the bar before Mr . D'Enyco ' urc charged with a desperate attempt at self-destruction . —It appeared from the evidence of Whitakcr , a constable of the 11 division , that while traversing his beat at five o ' clock on tho afternoon of the 5 th inst , he noticed a largo crowd of persons assembled in a state of great excitement round soruVobjeot , and upon hastening to ascertain the cause of it found tho prisoner supported by two or three persons , with an apparently severe gash in his throat , from which tho blood was pouring profusely down his clothes . He appeared to be in such a nervous and exhausted condition as to bo incapable of detailing tho cause of his conduct himself , but from what was stated by some of the bystniders , in seemed that ho had

      sought an opportunity , when but lew persons wore passing , to pull a razor out of his pocket , and suddenly throwing it open in a frenzied manner drew it rapidly across his throat ; tho action was noticed , however , before he could effectually accomplish his object by repeating tho cut , and , being seized and thrown hack , the razor which was now produced with its blade much blood-stained , was forced out of his hand , and the prisoner transferred to the London Hospital , where tho gash in his throat was dressed , and fortunately turned out to be not nf so dangerous a character as was at first apprehended . —TIte prisoner , who laboured under much debility and agitation , pleaded distress and mental anxiety , arising from domestic causes , as his reason for attempting to make away with himself , and expressed regret that he should havo done so ; but Mr . D'Eyncourt considered it manifestly unsafe to set him at liberty in his present state of mind , and ordered him to be

      committed to tho House of Detention for a week , that he might determine how to dispose of him . THE RESPECTABLE MAN OF " NINE COWS . " At tho Thames Police Court on Tuesday , the final examination of William Holmes , of Bow Common-lane , Bromley , William Woolnough , a / fas" Bill tbe Baker , " and Benjamin Jacobs , a general dealer and dollyshop keeper , of llinton . street , Bethnal-grcen , for burglariously breaking- and entering the dwelling-house of Mr , W . J . llumphrys , baker , of Grundy . street , Poplar , and stealing an iron chest containing £ 215 , was appointed to take place before Mr . Yardley , and the court was crowded to excess on the occasion . —Some details of this case were given in our report of tho first examination of Holmes . —the magistrate committed all the prisoners to Newgate for trial , after one of the longest investigations which has taken place in this court for many years .

      A MISERABLE " TIIING . " At the Lambeth Police Court on Tuesday , Mr . Elliott was engaged for sonio timo in investigating a charge of excess of duty , preferred by three respectable tradesmen at Brixton against Police-constable Thomas Thing , 195 P , and which had been sent before his worship by desire of the Police Commissioners , —From the evidence adduced b y the complainants , it appeared that a youth , named Houghton , who ia in tho early stages of consumption , was encouraged at and spent much of his timo at a brothel in tho neighbourhood o f his residence ; and on Wednesday night last his brother was informed , not only that he was at this improper place , but was standing a supper for the inmates . On learning this tbe brother requested tbrce of his neighbours to accompany him to tho house with the view of getting the youth away . Two of tho party went up

      to tho ) ouso , and one of tbem rang the bell and inquired for Master Houghton , when a man " armed with a life preserver rushed out , made a desperate attack on one , while he gave the other in custody . The defendant evinced the greatest readiness to do the bidding of this person , for he not only grasped one of the tradesmen so tightly by the throat as to pretty niiih strangle him , but used lis staff in a wanton manner over tho other . In fact , so violent-was his conduct that ho was remonstrated with by a brother officer , Edward Hunt , G 20 , P , who told him to put up his stuff , that there was no necessity for his using it , and that he had very much exceeded his duty . The parties were taken to the station-house , but Ihere tho person who

      rushed out of the brothel with the life-preserver refused to charge them , but the officer insisted upon two of them being charged with assaulting him . Mr . Elliott , on hearing the particulars on tbe following day , animadverted j n severe terms upon the conduct of Thing , the officer , < ind at once discharged tbe accused . In giving judgment on the present ocension , tho magistrate said , that it was quite clear from the testimony of bis brother officer , who had let out tho truth , that tho conduct of the defendant was most illegal and improper , and the sentence of the Court was that he pay 40 s ., or in default stand committed to prison for twentv days . MURDER OP A CHILD BY ITS MOTHER .

      At the Worehip-stveot Police Office , on Tueadav , Margaret Whitham , a pallid , wretched looking young-woman , about twenty years of age , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , charged with wilfuijy murdering her newborn child . —The offence was committed about the 10 th or 20 th of April last , at which time the prisoner ' s mother was apprehended upon suspicion of having been implicated in its perpetration , but discharged , and tlie substance of the evidence then and now given was , that while a shoemaker , named Denham , living in Dorset-street , Spitalfiolds , was in hia watercloset at an early hour in the morning , he heard the cries of an infant down the adjoining watercloset , and upon looking down upon the soil some person in the next place dropped a brick and a piece of paving-stone upon tho body cf the infant , tho cries of which at first became stifled , and then ceased : Upon rn-iking his way into tho next house

      , bo met the prisoner standing against the back door , within four yards of tho watercloset , and told her a child was down it . She denied confidently that there was , but he apprised her ho had heard its voice , and she then hurried upstairs , saying that ho must have been mistaken . The police , however , were procured , and on the closet being examined the infant ' s foot was seen protruding above tho soil , and on removing it , the body being still warm , the brick and paving-stone rolled off its chest . The prisoner was then transferred to the infirmary of the workhouse , of which she had been an inmate ever since , and , an inquest being held on the infant ' s body , tbe jurv returned a verdict Of " Wilful Murder " against her . —Elizabeth Witham , the prisoner ' s mother , a respectable-looking widow , who was much affected , while giving her evidence against her daughter , was-now examined , and slated that tbe prisonerwho

      , was not yet married , had lived with her for about seven weeks np to the morning of tho day in question , when at three o ' clock she complained of being in great agony and left the room ; she returned in about ten minutes , without making any observation , and went down stairs again at five , and was absent sometime , again making no remark upon her returning to bed . She was aware that her daughter was m the family way , but had no suspicion she was near her confinement , as the ^ prisoner had denied that she was so , and she was not at all aware that such a crime had been committed . until the police entered her apartments and Charged the prisoner with it . —Mr . Thomas Meares , the divisional surgeon stated , that on being called in to examine

      the prisoner he found that she had recently given birth to an infant , upon the body of which he had made a post mortem examination , and found it to be a full-grown male child . Frothy mucous was issuing from its mouth , there was an indentation in the right cheek , below the eye , accompanied by ecchymoiis , which might have been caused bv a bvick or sto ; e being cr pped upon its head ; there was extravasation between the scalp and skull , and the brain was very much congested . —The prisoner , who was so dreadfully depressed and agitated that she was compelled to be seated throughout the investigation , declined offering any defence , and she was thereupon ordered to be remanded until that day week for the completion of the depositions and her committal to Newgate .
