which constituted the nuisance to this and the adjoining cpart , and that to his knowledge th . e bad smells by which , they . were assailed proceeded from an ancient cemetery over-which theeourt was constructed . He stated that there was anciently a chapel at Guildhall ,, with a crypt and burial-ground , in which were deposited the ^ reinains . of deceased mayors and aldermen , of former times , and that the offensive smells now-proceeded from that source , The Convict CoRRiGAir .- ^ This criminal , who -was to have been executed on Monday , was reprieved at
a late hour on Saturday , after the preparations for hia execution had advanced to a considerable extent . His frienxls . had been labouring for this result for some time without effect ; and the suddenness with which Sir George Grey altered Ms opinion has surprised the prison authorities * The wretched man fainted on hearing the change ia his sentence . Sir George Grey came to his present determination after consultation ¦ with the judge who tried Corrigan , and who agreed with him in tainting that the act waB committed during a species of insanity . The culprit will of course be imprisoned for life .
The attempted Suicide at Liverpool . — Mr . Tatlram , who cut his throat in the Liverpool Exchange , has expired . It was found impossible for some daysto remove him from the vaults beneath the news-room , into which he had retreated to destroy himself . At length , it was necessary to lash him to a plank , and push him up the step-ladder , and ¦ through . ' the trap-ddcirj' whieb are the only joieans of approach to the vaults . Subsequently " to the act , it was fouridthat the payments about which he was apprehensive were made oh the very morning of the attempted suicide ,. •¦ M 4 t ^ xsai ^^(^ sisATi . VLtEDh—A singular case has bpeitvtified 111 the . Prerogative Goui % xyithin the last few . ttaiysi the question being as to whether : Mrs . Ganvp ^ elli on old lady who lately died at the age of eightyrone , was mariied or single at the time of her
deafcfly This question was raised hy a Mr ; Cbrley ( the bid lady ' s executor ) j who alleged that he had been married to he ^ though theyfkcb was always kept secret , and who , therefore , claimed possession of the ! estate , to the exclusion of the old lady ' s son by a former marriage . It was alleged , on the side of Mr . Gorley ^ that Mvs . Campbell , during the last few years of Ker lifey had complamed of being ill used by her sony a ^ d that > thereJEbre , she wsts ' compelled to marry for ; the ' protection : of her property . * On the other hand ; _ Mr . Campbell'asserted through his counsel that ; his mother maintained an almost idolatrous affeetiontfbr hiin up to her latest moment ; and he therefore as well as on other grounds , disputed the fact of the mariiage having taken place . The lady was a Roman Catholic , and she received the last sacraments
on ler death-bed as Mrs . Campbell , and the inscription : on" her coffin represented ; her as the relict of Major Gampbell , The marr iage , it seems , was perf <^ ea * Becretlyy fia the office of the Marylebbne regBtra ' rf and the age and residence of thebiide , as well as- the name of her father , were wrongly entersd . The case tad been tried before Sir Herbert Jenner Fust ,, and been decided against Mr . Campbell , who was condemned in coats . Two appeals to the Judicial Committee had resulted in the sa me decision , which was again repeated by the judge in the present instance , who pronounced that the marriage ( which he characterised as " disgusting " ) was fully proved , and who cons equently condemned Mr . Campbell in the sum of £ 150 costs , nomine exgensarwm . The proctor for Mr . Campbell asserted an appeal .
The Prize Omnibus . —Mr . George Godwin , Mr . Joseph Wright , and Mr . Charles Manby , the gentlemen deputed by the London Omnibus Company to adjudicate on the designs for an omnibus sent in regly to their proffered premium of £ 100 for the beat , have declared that none of the designs seem to them to be of supereminent merit , though exhibiting excellent suggestions in some of the details , but that the best is that of Mr . Miller , of Hammersmith . " There are points sbout some of the design , " adds the report , " which , being combined , would aid in producing what you and the public desire—a light , commodious and well-ventilated omnibus . "

Leader Ofjpige , Saturday , March 1 . iCFASI NIGHT'S J ? ABLlAMEi \ T . HOUSE OF LORDS . TORTURE IN INDIA . The Eari . of Albebmable in moving for some papers , adverted to the evidence which showed the continued inniction of torture upon the native inhabitants in the Madras Presidency . The only effectual mode to put a stop to this practice would be , he said , to render the subordinate functionaries of the East India Company responsible to the Home Government and Parliament . Earl Gbanville consented to produc e the papers , but argued that sufficient responsibility existed among all the departments of the Company ' s service . Some bills were advanced respectively through a stage of progress , and their lordships adjourned at an early hour . HOUSE OF COMMONS . THE CRIMEA 1 ST COMMISSION . In answer to Mr- T . Buncombe , Lord Pahmerston said that Sir J . M'Neill and Colonel TuIIoch could of course be allowed to be present at the meetings of the new Commissions , or it would be in the discret ion of the Board whether those gentlemen should examine any of the witnesses . He also stated to Sir Dk Lac y Evans that the Board would have full power to close the doors and go in secret at their discretion . THE SLAVE TRADE IN TURKEY . In answer to Mr , Biggs , Lord Palmerston said that , at the remonstrances of this country , Turkey had abstained from the Slave Trade in the Blaok Sea ; but , with regard to" domestic slavery , it was a subjeob on which this country could not insist at the Con © rences . " THE EDMONTON MIUTIA . In answer to Mr . Evelyn , Mr . Pjbjhl said that there were some regiments of militia which were not embodied , and it was usual to wait for the application of the Lord-Li « utenant of the county to have thorn called out for training . Mr , La yard stated that the Colonel of this regiment was Lord Enfleld , the lieutenant-Colonel was his brother , and , ia short , the officers mado up a fumily party , and it w « s one of the greatest jobs he ever heard of . Mr . Byno ( one of tho officers in question ) , said the officers were as much obliged to Atr . Evelyn for bringing this forward as any person could be ; for they regretted that the regiment had not been called out for training last year . Lord PALMBBaiON denied that there was any job in this regimont ; it was only constituted on the required principle on which the militia was by law established . Ho paid a compliment to the , services of the militia officers . Sir Erskine Pkiiry ( who novor had been mentioned by Mr . Layard ) explained why ho had felt it hia duty to join tho rogiment , « nd said ho would havo gouo out to the Crimea if necessary . Sir De Laoy Evans explained that a return of the namo » of offlooire in tho Crimea had omitted all mention of his oox'vioes , and elaborately not out those I of othor omcera .
——*»M^» The Crimean Commission. On The M...
——*» M ^» THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION . On the motion for going into Committee of Suuplv Mr . Roebuck rose to bring forward his motion protesting against the appointment of a Commission to iuquiie into the report of the Crimean Commission He entered into a history of the sufferings of the aimv in the Crimea in 1854-55 , and of the Sebastopol Committee . He urged" that the Commissioners appointed to inciuire into the state of the army in the Crimea were most competent men , that their report bore out all that had . been said of the condition of the army ; and -it implicated Sir Richard Airey , Lords Lucan and Cardigan , Colonel Gordon , and Commissary General Filder . The Government ought to
have made the report the ground of trial by court - martial of these officers ; instead of which they had issued a commi ssion to certain general officers to report on their report . Sir J . Pakington , who had given no tice of an amendment which he was precluded from moving by the forma of the House , said , although he wished inquiry into this matter , he could not support the manner in which it was sought by the motion , which prejudged the case of the officers named in the Report . Under these circumstances he should abstain froni entering into the discussion on the present occasion but woud bring forward the question himself in a substantial form on a future day .
General Peel , who had been somewhat contemptuously alluded to by Mr . Roebuck , protested with strong emotion against the renrarks which had been made upon him . Mr . F . PeeIi argued against the course taken by Mr . Roebuck , and went at length into a defence of the course taken by the Government-Mr . Bentinck opposed the' motion ; and Mr . Layard , in an elaborat e speech , urged many objections to the new Commission , which he declared was far leas satisfactory than that on which it was to sit in judgment , and that by the course tho Government had taken they had prejudged the case , and the Horse Guards had dened public opinion . Colonel Noeph defended the Commission .
Sir De Lacy Evans ^ in a powerful speech , pointed out a number of instances in which ' the present Government had fsailed in their duty to the army in the Crimea , and he especiall y attacked Colonel Gordon and Lord Banmure . Mr . A . Gordon defended his brother from the attack of Sir De Lacy Evans . Mi * . Gladstone deprecated the tone which the debate had take n ; but objected to the appointment of the new Commission as insulting to the former Commissioners , and complicating the state of things by opening a new inquiry .
Lord Paljvlerston urged that the turn which the debate had taken showed how inopportune the dis cussion was . He denied that the Government intended to dispar age the former Commission by the course they h £ d , taken , which was only intended to have full justice done to all parties . He defended the appointments of General Airey , Colonel Gordon , and Lord Cardigan , and contended that the imputations contained in Mr . Roebuck ' s motion were both unjust and ill-timed . After a few words from Lord Claud Hamilton and Sir De La . oy Evanb in explanation , MLr . Roebcjok withdrew the motion . A single vote of six and a-half millions for the pay of the army -was taken in Committee of Supply . The Consolidated Fund ( £ 1 , 681 , 000 la . 5 d . ) was read a third time and passed .
The Mutiny Bill and Marine Mutiny Bill were read a second time . Mr . W . Patten obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the fe ncing of machinery in factories . The House then adjourned at half-past twelve .
