Poaa Relhf ( Ibeland ) Bill . —CoxniTTE » . _ On the motion of Lord J . Russell , the hour e then resolved itself into ? , co ninhteeon the FiorRelisf ( Ireland ) Bill . In the committee some discustiou took place on the 9 h clause , which wag , however , ultmateiy agreed to . On the proposition of the 10 th dame , which provides tliat " whenever the expenses chargeable to an electoral division of a onion in one-half year shall exceed Is . 3 d . in the pound on the net annual value of such a division , tie Is . 31 . is to be charged to the electoral division , and the remainder to the unl . n at large . " Mr M . J . 0 _ Consell proposed , as an amendment , to omit the whole body . He himself belonged to a particular portion of the corn ^ mumty . which did not admit her Majssty to be atthe head rfthe church : but they admitted the duty wa * one sanctioned by holy writ . There had been repeated instances
of aukmil l . umilia . ion . The sovernineut would sustain r . a detriment b , having acceded to it . The bishops of his own church had so far sanctioned , although they did not think it ordained bj legally spiritual authority , as to re . commend to their clergy and people theotaetvaUonof the iigiu appointed . . of the clause , and to insert certain words which would give it thU effect : —that " all expenses to he henceforth incurred for the relitf of destitute poor proons in Ireland , whether under the provisions of this act or of the act of the 1 st and 2 nd Victoria , c . 20 , shall be charged to the union at large" Bis object was to prevent the rural district * from throwing their population for sup . port on . the towo . dlttricts . The amendment vsa » vi gor , ously resisted by the government , and en a division the numbers for the amendment
were—Ayes ... ... 25 Noes ISO Majority against it — 95 Mr StahoID O'Bueh then moved the omission of the 10 th clause , on the grounds , that in union-divisions the area of taxation was too large , and it would be mare advisable to make it commensurate with town land divisions , lie declined , however , to move his own scheme of ratio ; , as he did not wish to embarrass the government . MrLiBoncHtRE defended the clause on the ground that it was a safe and equi ; able medium berwecn the extravagant claims made by the representatives of towns for union rating and the equally extravagant claims of the agricultural members for town lands rating . He , therefore , trusted that the house would reject the amendment .
Considerable debate took place on this amendment , which was denounced by one party as an undisguised landlord ' s job , and defended by the other as absolutely necessary to the salvation of the rural proprietor * of Ireland . On the division the numbers were for the amendment—Ayes ... ... ... ... 57 Koe « 118 Majority against the amendment ... SI The clause , therefore , stands as part of the bill . The < &airaan then rtported progress , and obtained letTetosit again on Thursday . TheoUier order * of the day were then disposed of , asc tfee hone adjourned at twelve o ' clock .
( Frost oar Second Edition of last xceti . ) I THURSDAY , Mulch 18 . f HOUSE OF COMMOSS . —Dr Bowsixg moved for a cop ; of the continuation « f the correspondence on the subject of quarantine law . The boa . gentleman sup . ported his motion by an elaborate statement designed to show that the plague was not contagious , aad that quarantine regulations are inefficient as a protection against it . HtHuke seconded the notion . —Agreed to . Ibisb Absentees . —Mr W . S . O'B&bn then moved , " That , inasmuch as the non-residence ef landed proprietors in Ireland is one of the causes of social disorganization in that kingdom , it is expedient to impose
a { charge by way of special assessment , in aid ef local objects of an useful nature , upon the estates of absentee proprietors , with a view to make some compensation for the evils resulting from , their non-residence . " In supporting this motior , the honour * able gentleman controverted , at some length , the proposition put forward by Mr M'Culloch and others , that absenteeism was not prejudicial to Ireland , and maintained that that country paid virtually to England an annual tribute equal to the amount withdrawn from it fay absentees , which was estimated by some at no less than four millions a year , or nearly one-third of the whole rental of the country . Mr . Torre seconded the mation .
After some debate , the house divided , when the motion was rejected , the numbers being 19 to 70 . Mr . OsMfxr Gore then moved for a select committee to inquire into the necessity for the removal of Smithfield Market , as a nuisance in the centre of the British metropolis , to some appropriate site comprising an area of not less than twelve acres , and the establishment of abattoirs in the vicinity of London . After some conversation the motion was agreed to . Rijah or Sattasa . — -Mr Hume moved for returns of papers connected with the case of the Rajah of Sattara Mr Hume , however , withdrew part of his motion , and the remainder was agreed to . Lord Mob-eth brought ia a hai for the totter drainage of towns . The other business on the paper was lhtn disposed of , and the house adjourned . { Fran our Third Edition o / last tceefc . ) 3 ' IRIDAT , Xasch U .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —The business was limited to the presentation of petitions , and adeclaratioa . from the Marquis of Conyngfaam , that tkough his name was appended to the protest of the " Ir ish party , " presented to Lord J ; Russell , against out-door relief , it was done withcut bis knowledge or consent , he being in favour of that proposition ; Lord Monteagle admitting that his noble friend ' - - name had been inserted by mistake . HOUSE OF COMMONS—Wmdow Tax . —Lord M 9 « peth , in answer to Lord Duncan , said that although the subject of windows wss involved in the unitary
question as regarded the health of towns , he was not aware that it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , in the forthcoming bill , to propose any change of a financial character with respect to the window-tax . Lord J . Bessell was anxious , before going into committee on the Irish Poor Law Bill , to take the opnor . tuuity of expressing in that home , as a British subject , the deep and lasting gratification he felt at the nottt and munificent subscriptions entered into by the people of the United States , for the relief of the existing distress in Ireland , a sentiment loudly cheered from all parts of the house .
Fooa Relief ( ImiLAaD . —The House then went into Committee ou the Poor Relief ( Ireland ) Bill . In the committee considerable wrangling took place on certain amendments proposed on the first and secend clauses , but not pressed by their movers to a division . The chief discussion , however , took place at the close of the evening , when Mr Shaw proposed to expnnge the whole of the second clause , which authorizes the Poor Law Commissioners under their seal te administer in certain special cases , relief ont of the workhouse to destitute poor persons not permanently disabled , for an ; time not exceeding two calendar months from the time of their order , provided always that all relief given ont of the workhouses to such persons shall be given in food only , sare in cases of sudden and urgent necessity .
Lord J . Rumu said that Mr . Shaw had argued throughout as if the present state of things in Ireland was to he permanent , amd drew the inference that therefore out-door relief would be found impracticable- That , it was to 09 hoped , would not be the case ; and all that the clause proposed to do was , to afford gome relief when , either from a temporary increase of distress , the prevalence of fevers , or infections diseases in the workhouses , it became necessary to prevent the people from starving . The experience we had had in this crantry proved that out-door rtlief was not incompatible with prosperity , and the successful pursuits of trade , commerce , and manufactures . Indeed , he was to some extent inclined to think the two coincident , and he hoped that the introduction of this principle into the law would lay the foundation of a setter system in Ireland , by furnishing ft strong inducement to better cultivation on the part of landlords and farmers , and more industrious habits on the part of thelaboarer .
Toward * the close of the debate the committee became most disorderly—the uproar beggared all description , andmeny speeches were not more Intelligible than so much dumb show . The leaden of the Irish party supported the amendment with true national , teal and impetuosity , fighting against the clause as a measure affecting "the life aad property" of every landlord ani tenant in Ireland . ^ di vision took place , when the numbers were , For Mr Sbaw ' j amendment 3 fi Agaisstjit 242 Majority against it see The Chairman was directed to report progress , and having dene so the bill was ordered to be recommitted on Monday next . The other orders of the day were then disposed f , and the house adjourned at a quarter to one o ' clock . ¦ « m

He had been ever since winterin g about in a state of utter destitution , and so ill from the ague , that he could scarcely stand , but was unable to meet with the
prisoner until Saturday night last , when he encountered him with the greater part of th « stolen clothing upon his person , atthe Refuge for the Destitute , in Flayhouae-yard , and gave him into custody . The City constable , No . 618 , stated that he should be able to substantiate another charge of a similar description iigainst the prisoner , who was an old offender , and had already been convicted ot felony on two previous occasions . The prisoner , who declined offering any defence , was fully committed on the above case , but ordered to be brought up again for the production of other charges . Assacit . —On Tuesday , George Walker , a toll collector in the City-road , was charped with committing a murderous assault upon Zachoriah Longman , aged 70 , and also with attempting self-destruction . Ann Loag . man said the prisoner lived at No . 110 Britannia-street
, City-road , in which she and her husband resided . About twelve o ' clock on Monday night , the prisoner came into the room on the ground-floor , and asked if they had sein his dog . Wo replied that we had not . He then asked my husband if he would call him in the morning . My husband said he would do bo , if he woke early enough . My husband , at the request of the prisoner , weut for some ale , of which each partook . The ale was paid for by the prisoner . The latter afterwards went out for something for the dog . He soon returned , and took another glass of ale . He now appeared the worse for what he had taken . He requested my husband to light him up stair * , which he did . In a few seconds the pri-* oner returned , andl put my husband , who was very ill , into the front room . The prisoner came into the back room , and having made another inquiry about his dog .
left the room , and went into the street . He quickly returned , and arriving in the passage opposite ho called out lustily three times "fire ! " I then went ont to him and entreated him to go up stairs , but he caught me by the throat . I called out murder , and my husband came to my assistance . I then saw the prisoner stretch out his arms towards my husband , and instantly after I perceived that he was bleeding profusely from several gashes in his face . I rushed to the do « r and screamed murder . The prisoner rushed up stairs . The police constable quickly arrived , and my husband was conveyed to St . Bartholomew ' BHotpital . Ipointedoutthepriioner ' sroom . Police-constable $ 1 N stated that he was on duty in Britannia-street , City-road , whenheheardcries of " murder , " and on arriving at the residence of th » last witness , he perceived her husband on the outside of the door , supported by two men . He was bleeding profusely from several cuts in his face and head . Witness directed his immediate removal to the above hospital . Witness then I roceeded ap stairs to the prisoner ' s room , and found him
lying upon the bed , with his face downwards , and perceived that he was bleeding from an incision in his throat , about three inches in length . He procured the assistance of Mr Coward , the district surgeon , who sewed up the wound , and conveyed the prisoner to the station house . There was much blood upon the passage on the ground floor , stairs , and landing , and upon the bed and flooring of the room The rasor produced was picked up upon the first floor landing by the last wituess . It was then covered with blood . The prisoner expressed his sorrow for the old man , but said he was featful be had not completed the job for himself , which , however , he would do as soon as an opportunity presented itself . The above evidence was corroborated by otker witnesses , and it was stated that the unfortunate old man was considered in imminent danger . The prisoner was so weak as to be unable to stand , and was accommodated with a seat in the dock . He said nothing , and was remandedfor a week . The prisoner has for some years , it appears , been a tollcollector at the gate in the City-road .
MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —BlUCLiRv . —Oa Monday W . Ogle and W . Saunders were charged with having committed a burglary at the Queen ' s Head public-house , Little Windmill-street . The two prisoners were seen b y the police constable on duty to come out of the house about three o ' clock that morning . The constable suspected that something was wrong , and be went to the door of the public house , and , finding it open , he gave an alarm , and instantly commenced a pursuit of the pri . soners , who were endeavouring to effect their escape . The prisonere were ultima'ely secured by two other police constables , and when they were searched a quantity ef papers of tobacco , copper money , and a sixpence , were
found on their persons . It is conjectured that the prisoners must have secreted themselves in the yard at the back of the premises before the family went to bed , and that as soon as they found the coast clear , they effected an entrance into the house by breaking a square of glass in the window of the back door and by undoing the fastenings . They had conducted their felonious operations with great deliberation , as there was a bottle of whisky opened and consumed , a portion of the neck of the bottle being afterwardsfoand in Sherrard-street , through which one of the prisoners attempted to make his escape . Mr Udall , the landlord , said he had lost a great quantity of cigars from his bar similar to those found on the person of the prisoner . Tke prisoners were fully committed .

Police-constable G 105 said he was called upon to go into the prisoner ' s house , In consequence of something that hnd occurred thereon Wednesday , the 10 th instant . He found the potman before the bar , bleeding profusely from a wound on the head . A surgeon was sent for , who attempted to dresa the wounded man ' s head , but the ¦ potman tore off the bandages , and he was eventually removed to the hospital . Police-constable Simon , E 111 , said he took the prisoner into custody . The prisoner said fee had struck the potman , and he was sorry for it . A certificate was produced from the hospital , which described the patient as in great danger . Mr Bingham immediately proceeded to the hospital with Mr Bishop , one of the clerks , and took the wounded man ' s deposition . It was as follows : — "I am potman at the Fitsroy Arms , Ciipstone-Btreet . Last
Wednesday I had done my work , and there were two or three men left in the tap-room , and I took f t share of two or three pots of beer with them . I was called in , and my master said he thought I was drinking . I said 1 was not going to drink to hurt myself , and that if he did not like it he could pay me my wages a week forward , as I was there a weekly servant . My master said he would not pay me neither back or forward a week ' s wages . I then said I would stop the week out , and would insist on his paying me . I then went into the parlour , and was again called at the bar , when my mistress began at me . I told her I did not want to speak to her , as master was my master , and he was under petticoat government . I said I should not trouble myself to speak to mistress at all . Then master took a mallet from a little cupboard , and he smashed my head with it , I was senseless . I don ' t know if he gave me more than one blow . I did not see the mallet on the counter before I received the blow . " Mr Bingham refused to accept bail , but remanded the prisoner for a week .
THAMES . — Improvident Mamiace . —On Monday , Henry Keats , a yeung man , twenty-two yeara of age . residing at 4 , Princess-street , St . € c « rge ' s-in-the-East , was charged with assaulting Harriet Bennett , a cuffeehousekeaper in Cable-street , Wellclose-square . It ap . peared from the evidence of the prosecutnx that the prisoner wa > her daughter ' s husband . He had been separated from his wife for some time , and had been leading a dissipated life . He was the father of three children by bis wife , and two of them were under the care of the witness , and were maintained by her . She had often made application to the prisoner to maintain bis children , but he almost invariably refused anything . On Saturday last he came into the complainant ' s shop , while she was sitting in a chair within the bar . He said he had some money , and wished her to
• hare it with him . The complainant rather angrily told him she did not want bis company or his money , and thatfae had better take both to his prostitutes . The prisoner instantly struck the complaisant a violent blow with his clenched fist , and beat her In a most savage manner , of which she exhibited proofs , for her eyes were blackened and her head was bruised . He was proceeding to further violence , when the cries of the woman brought a constable into the house , who took the pri * soner into custody . The prisoner , in defence , said that when he was only sixteen years of age he was inveigled into a marriage with the complainant's daughter of the same age . TUe complainant was to exceedingly anxious to get her daughter off hor hands that , after the courtship had lasted & few days , she paid the wedding expensei
and provided the marriage feast . His wife ' s mother afterwards promoted dissensions between him and his wife , who absconded from her home , and he did not know whtre she had gone to . Previous to her leaving him the mother fomented repeated quarrcl ^ Jietween them , and made his home miserable . Htt ^ uld assure the magistrate he had been greatly provoked , and that his life was rendered miserable by the complainant who was in the practice of taunting him , and boasting that his wife lived with bis late master . After a scene of crimination and recrimination , MrYardley said the complainant had acted very wrongl y injpromoting such a marriage , and he was not surprised at themisery which ensued . She must , however , be protected from violence , and it was bis duty to hold the defendant to bail to keep the peace , himself in £ 40 , and one surety in £ 20 .

arms , and upper parts of the body , The injuries inflicted could not be produced by blows of the naked hand , but must have been inflicted by a cudgel . The body was tearfully injured , and witness was sure that death was occasioned by the injuries from the marks of violence exhibited . The prisoner , who seemed to have sustained no injury , cross-examined Mr Day , with a view to elicit that dea'h might have been occasioned or mainly accelerated by the intemperate habits of the deceased ; but Mr Day adhered to bis original opinion .

The gentlemen might sometimes play drafts , but never gambled ; it would not be allowed . The Lord Mayor : Defendant , how can you answer this accusation ! Defendant : Unfortunately , my lord , I have a son , whom
these people have been destroying in tkeir villauoue den , I west there last night , and managed to get through the three doors which shat in a room where several persons were playing at hazard , and my son actually hid the dice-box in hit hand . I at once snatched the dire , and then the complainant and' the witness struggled with me , and got them from me , and pushed me against the banisters , which snapped with my weight , My son lost there , a night or two before , upwards of two sovereigns ; and my object was to get htm away , and to secure the dice . My appearance there caused great confusion , for I pushed into the room before there was time to ring the alarm-bell . There 1 b a square-table in the room covered with green baize , and under it there is a flannel . The draft-board is kept merely as a blind . They were all playing hazard .
Solomon Hart was again called by the Lord Mayor . —The Lord Mayor : Was there any playing with dice !—Solomon : No such thing . I never saw dice in the house in my life . ( Laughter . )—The Lord Mayor : Let the defendant ' s son be sworn . Now , young man , what were you about when your father went into the divan 1—Benjamin Mayers ( son of the defendant ); I bad the dice in my hand , and a set of us were sitting round the table play , ing hazard . —The Lord Mayor : How was this misohief doue i—Witness : All the people jumped over the table to get out of the bouse , and I tried as well as the rest . FOBKIIDBB OF A WlK ' S CLAIU WOK BBI HUSBAND . —On Friday , J . Ellridge was charged with having unlawfully refused to support his wife Mary Ann , who had become chargeable to the parish of Hackney . The defendant alleged as his reason , tbat last Tuesday fortnight , when he went home , he found a man rolled up in a sheet under the bed ; after this proof of his wife ' s
infidelity he separated from her . Ttwlr son , he said , saw the man as well as himself . The wife , in explanation , said that the man spoken of came into the room and eat dowa upon tha chair , but without attempting to touch her . Hearing a knoek , however , she said , "Here ' s my husband . " and was going to let him in when the man said , "Don ' t be a fool , " and got under the bed , but was pointed oat to her husband by her little boy , and then came from trader the bed ; he was a stronger to her , but a friend of her husband , who , she had no doubt , sent him there in order to " have a pull " upon her , and an excuse for getting rid of her . The defendant indignantly denied the imputed collusion . The man was his fellow workman , but no friend , and had never been in his place with his consent . The case was suspended until the son , a little boy , was sent for , and his evidence was found to be so conclusive , that Mr Bingbnm discharged the defendant without making any order upon bin , apd the wife returned to the workhouse .

AN IRISH ROW IN AMERICA . Riots oh ran Link of thk New York asd Eris Railroad . —Some serious disturbances have recently occurred among the workmen engaged on the portion of this road lying between Otiaville and Port Jerri ' s , the particulars of which , as far as we have beea able to gather them , areas Mow-. —That portion of the labourers known as Shamrock men , or Fardowns , and who were the most numerous on the line . it seems , had determined to drivo the CorkonianB and all others from the ground , and thus monopolize for thenuelvet the labour on these sections . About three weeks sinoe , these Fardowns made an assault on Saturday night , upon the Corkonians engaged on Carmiehaeland Stranahan ' s section , at Shin Hollow , beating them severely , and compelling them to promise to quit the line immediately . On Mondav
morning they proceeded to another portion of the section , fired gunB o ? er the heads of the workmen , and told them if they did not quit work they would fire into them . Theydrove the men up to the contractor , and compelled them to settle and leave the work . Many were knocked down and beate * in a shameful manner . I hey then traversed the whole line . compelling the proscribed labourers to quit work , beating and abusing them with much severity . In this riot one man is supposed to have been killed . During thia outbreak the riotere attacked a party of Dutch engaged en this same section . The Dutch gavettwm a little better than theyeent , and the assailants were glad to retreat . Work was pretty much suspended on the road , but no farther outbreak occurred until Wednesday of last week . During the evenine of that
day , repeated discharges of fire-arms were heard along the line , which was probably the signal for the gathering of the rioters . Aboutmidnightoneofthe two shanties situated ia Shin Holiow , and occupied by Irish labourers , was assailed . The windows were dashed in , guns fired into the building , and soon the insurgents had possession of the lower part of the tenement . The assault was made by about one hundred men . Therewere about fifty men in the shanty all in the loft . The rioters out away the beams , and let them all down into the lower room . Many of the assailed werethen severely beaten , and made to promise to leave the work . One man was thrust into the oven with the comforting assurance that he should be baked when they had time to attend to him .
After the "regulators" had disarmed the men and settled things to their satisfaction at thia shanty , they proceeded to the other building occupied by the Irish , and which was but a few rods distant . Here they enacted much the same savage feats as they had done at the first . They kad stolen several kegs of powder from the office of the contractor , and threatened to blow up the shanty if the men did not come dewn from the loft . The men were frightened and finally came down . The rioters drove all these men lntooneend of the room , and taking one of the number compelled him to go down on his knees , and then presenting muskets at his breast , threatened him with instant death if he did not give up his pistols and take an oath to leave immediately . Having finished their fiendish work at this shanty , they set out for assault
an on the Dutch , whose quarters were about fifty rods off . The Dutch had heard what was going on at the other shanties , and were prepared lor the attack . They had fire arms , but unforu ' ?? ? nr" ? nottun S but small shot to discharge them with . Their principal leader , Whistler , had mustered them in two platoons , on the outside of the shanty , ordering tho first division to give their assailauts their fire as they approached , and the second to rush upon them , firing when inclose contact . The Irish approached , and having fired a tew shots , the IJutcb opened upon them in a style that put all their bravery to flight , and themselves with it as fast as legs could carry them . The Dutch peppered the wrong side of their valour in fine style , and the impulse of the shot quickened their pace wonderfolly . They took two prisoners . One of these they discovered
clambering up a rock on his hands and knees , and they brought him t » a surrender , after greeting him with & full charge of fine shot upon that part of his corporality which , in that attitude , presented the fairest mark . These prisoners were mu ? , Into the 8 hanty » and bound together , and Whistler had some difficulty in restraining his exoited countrymen from taking summary vengeance upon them . They are now in Newburgh awaiting their trial . On Friday , Sheriff Welling repaired to the scene of disturbance , and on Monday waa again on the ground accompanied by alargepoBae . Some fifteen or twenty were arrested , wh « are now under examination in this village . Every precaution has been taken to prevent a repetition of these scenes . The Dutch are now well armed , and able to defend the mountains against any similar assaults . —New York Sun .

FALL OF PART OF THE LIVERPOOL AND BURY RAILWAY . Livebpool , WBDNBSDAT—Yesterday , twenty-one arches ot the Liverpool viaduct of the Liverpool and Bury Railway fell to the ground , one after the other , in rapid succession , with a tremendous crash , the noise of which resembled the quick discharge of as many small pieces of artillery , and was heard for more than a mile off . The site of this disastrous destruction of property is about two miles from the Liverpool Exchange , and the arches , the six northernmost of which were so far completed as to allow of the centrings being withdrawn a few days ago , the others having been comDletod three months aeo . weru
builfentirely of brick . It is not yet known how it was that the first arch which fell gave way , but it is certain that eaoh buttress afterwards , incapable of bearing the weight of tho arch reared upon it when tbat on the other side had fallen , was forced outwards immediately , the entire destruction of the whole being completed in about the space of a minute and a half from the fall of the first . Symptoms of its defeetiveness were first manifested on Saturday last ; but whether proceeding from any sinking in the foundation of either buttress , or from defective workmanship or materials in the arch itself , was not known . It had been condemned , and means were about to be taken to shore it up and secure the
buttress in order that it might be rebuilt . It is possible that thia work would have been so far performed yesterday as to have prevented the accident , had it not been fora heavy fall of rain driving all the men away from their work . Thia was so far fortunate , that no person whatever has sustained the least personal injury , though we regret to say that the loss oi" property cannot be less than £ 5 , 000 or £ 6 , 000 . Tho spaa of the arch which first gave way was , we are informed , about 35 feet- that of the others was 30 . They were constructed for Mr M'Cormick , the contractor for this portion of the Jine , by Messrs Bullock and Evans , and all that was wanting to their completion was the erection of a portion of the parapet * Another

viaduct , hear that which , has f 4 l ! en » ia being erected by Messrs Holme , after the same plan , and as these gent'emen are so eminent in their business it is a prool that the plan for the viaducts cannot be insufficient , it is not improbable that the fall of these archesTDtiight have resulted from the sinking of the toundatien ot one of the buttresses , in consequence of the severe winter , or that the mortar in the defective arch had been prevented from setting sufficiently by the late heavy rains .

An accident of a frightful nature , involving loss of life , took place on Tuesday afternoon , at theGamdea station ot the London and North-western Railway , on the premises in the occupation of Messrs Piektorcl , the railway carriers . It appears that for some months past a number ot workmen in the employ of Messrs Piper and Co ., builders , of BUhopsgate . have been engaged in erecting additional warehouses for Messrs Picktord , the basement of which is supported by arches forming a capacious stabling . On Tuesday afternoon the men were employed in finishing the stables , when four o the arches suddenly save way with a frightful cruish burying the poor fellows who were at work in the
rums . As soon as the consternation created by the occurrence had subsided , a large number of men employed at the station sst to work to remove the rubbish , and a frightful scene presented itself . Four of the unfortunate men were so deeply buried , that a considerable time elapsed before they could be extricated , and they were got out frightfully mutilated , and apparently lifeless , but they were at once conveyed on shutters to University College Hospital , wijere they were promptly attended to by Mr Alfred Williams , the house surgeon , and subsequently by Mr Liston . Every one of the poor fellows were in a state of insensibility on their arrival , and one of them died in about half an hour after admission . On inquiry at the hospital it was ascertained that the other sufferers aie still in a dangerous condition ,

FRIGtITFUL ACCIDENT . —MURDER IN A CHURCH .
An accident occurred at St Michael ' s church , Angel-street , Manchester , on Sunday evening ; no lesB than the falling m of a great portion ot the ceiling , but a few minutes previous to the time of divine service . About five minutes past six o ' clock on Sunday eveuing , a very few minute 8 alter the bell had n ^ ft" r ine l . " « e » bay , who blows tho organ bellows , was m the choir gallery when he observed the centre piece in the ceiling bulge downwards fora moment , then rise up Igain . and the next moment , that portion of the ceiling , joists , &o ° between the centre priucipals fell in , followed in immediate succession by those parts between the two next principals . The reading desk was completely smashed , and the door broken lourreen ot
me pews , seven on each side the centre aisle , were more pr less damaged by the weight of the falling materials , whish , including wood , piaster , nails , * c , s probably apwards of two tons . The whole extent of the space from which the ceiling has fallen is about twelve yards by four , and the accident most probably arese from the joists having be « n cut in their first admeasurement rather too Bhort , or from the decay of the material , or both these causes combined . Had the accident occurred but a few nutates later , as the service would have commenced at half-past six , there is little doubt but that many lives would have been sacrificed . As it was , the escapeof three persons with their lives appears little short of miraculous . An aged woman , grandmother ot the organ blower , had already entered the church , and was very near the pulpit , when the boy shouted to her to take care , as theceilins was falling hut . th «
alarm came too late to enable her to escapebeforoi it fell ; she was knocked down , and com- pletely covered with the materials of which the ceiling was composed , bat most fortunately , it seems , wasnot struck by the joists , a blow from any one of which might have killed her instautly . She was so little injured ,, however , as to be able immediately to creep on her hands and knees from her perilous situation to a place of safety . Two other persons were also in the aisle at the time the accident occurred . — Kicnard Asnworth was much bruised and cut , and on being taken to the Royal Infirmary , it wasfound that one of his ribs was broken . He is now , however so far recovered as to be expected to be ouite rftstnUrt
in a few days . Ilia wife was more fortunate ; she accompanied her husband to the door , but sauntered leisurely up the aisle , looking in at the pews , and was about six feet distance from her husband when she heard a crack , saw him covered with the mate , rials of the ceiling , and stepping backwards herself escaped without injury . The Rev . W . Jones , the curate , had been officiating in the reading desk at a funeral only an hour preYkm to the occurrence ; and from the damage sustained by the desk , it does not appear that nlB lifa AnnlrJ nova hnnn Mn ** A »] 1 ] it . * . . . « vuuiu ™ i

The bodies of the young Countesses were conveyed by the peasants to the chateau . It is asserted that the Count was subject to fits of insanity , which had become more violent since the recent death of his parents .

Detection of Feigned Diseases bt Ethkr Vapour . —M . Baudens has employed ether vapour in two cases in which the individuals were suspected of feigning disease for the purpose of avoiding consciiption . In the firat there was apparent deformity of the spine ) and projecting of the back . The young recruit , who was suspected to be an impostor , had been subjected to various experiments , but without success . He was finally made to inhale ether vapour ; in a few minutes there was complete relaxation of the limbs , and the supposed deformity entirely disappeared . Thus convicted , the man no longer denied that he had feigHed the deformity for the purpose of avoiding service . In the second case the person was believed to feign anchylosis of the hip joint . When the ether had been inhaled , the same relaxation of the muscular system was produced ; but , on examination , the anchylosis remained as strongly marked as before the experiment ; thus proving that the disease was real .

Rome . —A letter from Rome , oi the 9 th , says" The Pope has determined on creating an order of knighthood for rewarding persons distinguished for virtue or merit , without regard to creed or nation . It will be divided into two classes , one of which is to confer on the members hereditary nobility ; and the
other personal nobility . His Holiness has permitted the theatres to continue their performances during Lent , so as not to deprive the persons connected with thetn of their means of living during this time of scarcity . It is the first occasion on which such a thing has been allowed . The promulgation of a law according rational liberty to the press is shortly ex . pectud . The differences that had arisen between the Holy See and the Abbe de Lammenais are about to be arranged , the Abbe having already taken the necessary steps to bring abouttthat conclusion .

Mr Joiin Skelton , in seconding the motion said he did so with mingled emotions of regret and pUj » ure—regret that those who had been placed at tha head of State affairs should have been so Ujpocritical and deceitful , as to attempt to impose on tho people the belief that the present distress wa « . visitation from God ; on the other hand , he rejoic e J that a few men were found bold enough to stand tot . ward and denounce this precious piece of humbug mockery , and delusion .

On going oat , I heard there was a fire . I proceeded there immediately , and found the new building-, called , "La Garniture , " a blaze of lire ; all the engines of the town , arsenal , and ships in the roads were soon on the spot , and after two hours' bird work the fire was mastered . It broke out in one of the upper rooms , and was caused , it is supposed , by a workman who bad been smoking . Luckily there was no wind , or the ships in the basin and the whole bniMinir must have been destroyed , inasmuch as it
was lull of timber to finish the interior ; as it was , onlv one-third of the building was damaged—the walls only now remain .
