RAPE, rdURDEII, AND SUICIDE. The following dreadful occurrence, which lately took place In the county of ChaMer, exhibits a picture of depravity and crime which it -:»• --shockiug to con- template. Ainan advanced ill 1-a hoary-headed sinuor *Ith grovwrkup -children -leaf'cs his own house, his wife and family in the dead of the night, aud sacceeds in decoying a young female, only 17 years of age, the servant of a neighbouring gentlemen, from her master's house, under pretence that her (bother is dying and wishes to see -her. In going across the gelds he attempts the gratification of his brutal passion by violating her,person; and, failing to accomplish his purpose, he strangles his victim. As a fitting catastrophe to this tale of depravity, he hangs himself in a cow-house! The following is-a brief narrative of the particulars of this double tragedy, as elicited on the inquests held on the bodies The unfortunate female deceased was named Mary Slalpas, and was in the scrvice of Mr Henry Davison, steward to Sir John -Detves Broughton, Bart., at Doddington Park, near Nantwich. The suicide Thomas Baguley, was a labourer, also in the employ of the same gentleman, and resided at Walbertou. It appeared, from the testimony of Baguley's son, that bis fatber was at home at'11 o'clock on Sunday night; and after the rest of the family had retired for the night, he was repeatedly called to by his wife to come to bed, but he recced to do so. At 2 o'clock in the morning it was discovered that he had left the house, and he-did not return afterwards. Mrs Davison stated that she and her family went to bed about half-past 9 o'clock on Sunday evening. About T o'clock on Monday morning, the servant girl, Mary Malpas kuooked at her bed-room door to ask if she might go to see her mother, who was. dying. Mrs Davison, without inquiring how the glrl obtained the infornta* tion, gave her permission to go, and on going down stairs to lock the front door after her, she found that it was already locked and the key missing. On Monday morning two labouring men, named Simon Davies and Ralph Latham, in going through what are called the Chapel-fields, in Hunterston, a short distance from Mr Davison's house found the dead body of Mary Malpas. She was lying on her back; her clothes were above her knees, and other- wise in disorder.; her bonnet was much torn; her combs were lying beside her; and the appearnce8 on the grass and the ground near the body clearly indicated that there had been a violent struggle. About C) -OclOck on Monday morning, Baguley was discovered in a shippon suspended by his neck with a rope from one of ttie *teps of a ladder. He was quite dead and co He appeared to have been resolntely bent "pon self-destruction for his feet rested upon the ground even with his knees bent. lu his pocket" 8e*eral keys, and among them the key of MV Davison's front door. From the teStimody of Mr John Twemlow and Mr Edward Barker, the surgeons who examined the body of the deceased female, it appeared that the neck was very much discoloured all round, as if it had been clasped, and the windpipe violently pressed by both hands, and the finger-nails had penetrated through the skin over the trachea. The face and breast ex- hibited marks of discolouration from brutes. The general appearances indicated that there had been a violent struggle, and left no doubt of the nature of the crime that was attempted to be perpetrated before death, although, in the opinion of both these gentle- men, it had not been accomplished. The coroner's jury in the case of Mary Malpas found a verdict of wilful murder against Thomas Baguley; and in the second a verdict of felo d. se. This dreadful affair has, as may well be supposed, excited a great sensation in the neighbourhood. The family and relatives of both the deceased are in a state of distraction more easily conceived than de- scribed.

CAMBRIDGE INSTALLATION. --400-- CAMBRIDGE, Sund-ry.—This morning, at a quarter past eleven, the Chancellor proceeded to the Church of Great St. Mary, to bear Divine service. Nothing coutd be more unostentatious than his progress from Trinity to the church. He was preceded by the three esquire bedels in their robes of ceremony, bearing the maces of office. The Vice- Chancellor walked on the left of the Noble Marquis, and ,the Duke of Northumberland, as High Steward, on his right. They were followed by Noblemen and Gentlemen, each wearing the dress to which his collegiate rank, in cither of the Universities, entitled him. We observed among them the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Devon, Lord Brownlow, Lord Canterbury, Lork Brecknock, Lord Farnborough, Chief Justice Tyndal, the Recorder of Lon- don. Sir H. Hardinge, Sir R. Inglis, and Mr. Coiilburn. These were succeeded by aconsderable number of Doctors, both of Law and Divinity. Heads of Houses, Fellows, Proctors, and Tutors. There were very few on the out- side of the churcl, but the inside was filled long heforethe commencement of service. The procession entered through the door which lealls to what is called the Throne, and took their seats in the same order in which they arrived. Service being closed a very impressive sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr Bowes. At two o'clock the Chancellor, attended as he had been in the-morning, proceeded again to St. Mary's, to be pre- sent at the evening service. A sermon was preached upon this occasion by the Bishop of Gloucester. A new anthem was performed in the morning, the composition of a can- didate for the degree of Bachelor in Music. The beautiful grounds in the rear of the, principal Col- leges, and along the banks of the Cam, are upon this oc- casion crowded with spectators. No person is excluded, however ptain and humble in dress. Though the walks were in a very unattractive state in consequence of the rain, there were great numbers of both sexes in attendance, awaiting the hour when the Chancellor should honor the promenade with his presence. Soon after eight the Chan- cellor, in his academical robes of ceremony, made his ap- pearance, and, in a slow pace, proceeded from Trinity, along the majestic line of buildings in Trinity-street, Senate House hill, which consists entirely of colleges, or other collegiate buildings, all highly interesting, from the rich- ness or the antiquity of their architecture. Prince George of Cambridge walked on the left of the Noble Marquis He was unattended upon this occasion by any other person of rank. The illustrious Prince, fiom his unassuming and gentle deportment, seemed to have won completely the goodwill of the spectators, many of whom expressed their opinions in strong, though often homely, sincerity of lan- guage. Having passed very slowly along Senate House- hill, he entered King's, at the principal gate, and walked in the rear of the line of colleges, between that and Trinity. The whole of those who were assembled upon the occasion had thus an opportunity of seeing him, and the illustrious Prince who accompanied him. There were a few consta- bles in attendance to keep the footway clear, and to pre- vent inconvenient crowding. Throughout the whole of his progress we did not observe the slightest tendency to riot or disorder of any kind- -The Noble Marquis woie an air of calm and unostentatious dignity, which seemed to fit him well for the high office of chief. functionary in an illustrious seat of learning, and piety. The dinner given at Trinity upon this occasion was, select and private. In the coarse of the day two or three gentlemen in Turkish military dress, with scymitars belted round them, were observed in the streets, in company with two mem- bers of the University. This gave rise to a rumour that the Commencement was to be honoured with the presence of the Turkish Ambassador. THE SENATE-HOUSE—MONDAY. The arrangements for the ceremonies that took place here this day were completed on Saturday evening. A temporary platform, raised some feet above the general level of the hall, has been erected, and two rows of seats, in addition to these which are fixed appendages, run along the whole length of it, both on the right and left. It may bold, without pressure, from 2,000 to 2,500 persons, but it is impossible to say whether or not so great a number was preseut. No person was admitted without a ticket. Four temporary passages were opened, two on each side of the hall, and to these access was obtained by a flight of steps, composed of strong deal planks. The number of carriages, horsemen, and foot passengers, that were in motion towards the seat of the Earl of Delawarr, seemed to tell that the great cause of attraction was there, for to that point the crov. d were proceeding with great eagerness. It soon became general!y known that the Duke of Welling- ton was to be conducted in triumph through the town from the seat of the Noble Earl. It was, indeed, a triumphant entry, not graced, it is true, with the spoils of war, bat accompanied at every step with the shouts of exulting gratitude. The Noble Duke was expected to arrive soon after nine o'clock, and crowds of spectators, along the ruad, in the streets, and round the Senate House, were eagerly looking out for his arrival. About ten minutes past nine a carriage wa; seen in the distance, and soon after the leading horsemen of the cavalcade were descried. The people, not a mere mob, but perlons of apparently of great respectabi- lity,, had taken the horses from his carriage and were drawing him inta town. The Noble Duke remained standing during the whole time, the Earl of Delawarr being seated at his right hand. Upon reaching the Senate Housr, where a great number of the gownsmen were in waiting to obtain admittance, a shout was raised that might have created a soul under the ribs of death." Guns firing, bells ringing, numberless handkerchiefs waving from the vindows, flags flying from the houses of the most re- spectable inhabitants, announced the arrival of the hero who had been conqueror in a hundred fields, not for his owneountry alone, but for the civilised world. Long after, he ptssed the shouts were distinctly audible, till the caval- cadereached Trinity, from whence the Noble Duke was to accompany the Chancellor to the Senate House. There coub not have been less than from 500 to 700 gentlemen yeoten of the most respectable class, together with many of tae most wealthy, inhabitants of Cambridge, present, and mounted on horseback on this occasion. They pre. cedd the carriage of the Noble Duke, which was followed bya numerous retinue "of footmen, mixed with a consider- ahe number also on horseback. The Senate House was not opened for the public until abut ten o'clock. Eight rows of seats, running, four on eich side, along the whole length of the Hall, were reserved eiclusively for ladies, as were the far greater part of those in the large gallery erected for the temporary accommoda- tion of the orchestra and the vocal performers who are to Perform in the concerts. Soon after the doors were opened, al these seats were completely tilled, exclusively with fonalss, in plain, but elegant, and in sotne cases costly attire. The area of the hall was as quickly filled to the v*y entrance with a dense mass of Masters of Arts, and st!angers introduced by them. The upper side gallery 01 the left of the entrance was reserved exclusively for uider graduates The opposite gallery was also com- plstely filled, in part by strangers and in part by the mem- b(rs of the University.. A seat of state, or throne, was Piepared for the Chancellor, with his arms, richly em- o'oidered, placed in the rear of it. Three cheers were gven in rapid succession, and without the slightest regard border of priority, for the Chancellor, the Ladies, the King, tie Queen, the Duke of Cambridge, Mr. Goulburn, Sir Robert Peel, the Princess Victoria, tfce Master of ^aecn't, •nd the Duke of Wellington. The next cheers were to the tiemory of Mr Pitt, and for Sir R. Inglis. The entrance If the Vice-Chancellor just at that moment, had the effect ,f producing a momentary calm. The Vice-Chancellor took^ his seat at the table, and Continued' there till twelve o clock, receiving in the usual banner, and from the proper officers, the certificates of iheir having complied with the forms required previously to the taking of a degree. This ceremony is called the Cttput, and, having been .finished a few moments before twelve, the proper officers began immediately to open a passage to the platform through the dense mass of gra- duates and others who filled the area of the hall. The Chancellor now appeared at the grand door of entrance, and moved along the passage, preceded in slow pace by the esquire bedel. He was received with loud cheers, Ladies and Gentlemen all standing at the time. Prince George of Cambridge had entered previously, with the Vice-Chancellor, and conversed in the most affable manner with various individuals, Ladies and Gentlemen, who were near him. The Chancellor, in his progress up the Hall, Was followed in succession by the Vice-Chancellor, Prince Pozzo di Borgo, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Grafton, and the Duke of Wellington. To these suc- ceeded the various Noblemen, Prelates, and Gentlemen upon whom degrees were afterwards conferred. Thecheer- ing for tbe Duke of Wellington was distinguished not less for loudness than continuance. Cheers were then given for the Ladies, for Goulburn and Law (the Members for the University), for Lord Eldon, for the Archbishop of Can- terbury, and one cheer more for the Duke of Wellington. Again cried voice in the gallery, and it was repeated. The degree of Master was then conferred, in tbe usual form, upon the following Noblemen, Prelates, and Gen- tlemen fhe Marquis of Exeter, the Marquis of Down- shire, the Marquis of Northampton, Lord Hardwicke, Lord Brownlow, Lord Amherst, Lord Brecknock, the Earl of Burlington, the Bishop of Exeter, Lord Abinger, the Bishop of Llandaff, Lord Clive, Lord Lyndhurst, Sir James Graham, Mr Justice James Parke, the Archbishop of Can- terbury, Sir E. Kerrison, Sir Pulteney Malcolm, Sir James Rose, Sir Edward Sugden, Sir Charles WetherelL, the Hon. Rice Trevor, Lord Prudhoe, Count Pozzo dr Borgo, and the Duke of Wellington. As this part of the ceremony is performed in a way that approaches nearly to silence, it was quite impossible to hear what was passing. The proctor's men. were now called upon to clear a space for the public orator, whose duty it became to intro- duce to the Chancellor, for the purpose of taking the re quired oath, or making the accustomed declaration, each individual upon whom degrees had been conferred. A small space or area, some few yards below the platform, and in front of the Chancellor's chair, being then cleared, proctor's men, with staves of office, were placed, one at each side of the flight of steps leading up to the chair. I he esquire bedel received each of the new graduates as they advanced from behind the chair, and committed him to the public orator, for the purpose of being announced, and of receiving the congratulations of the Chancellor. The first of the new graduates who went through this part of the ceremony was Count Pozzo di Borgo. The orator, as usual, under the circumstances, after introducing the illustrious foreigner, commenced his oration, with an eu- logium on the Chancellor. He spoke in flattering, but not at all overcharged, language of the virtues, both private and public, of the Noble Marquis, expressing his regret that some person more worthy and more competent to the task had not undertaken it. His conduct hitherto, in the most important and trying situations in which a public man could be placed, was sufficient warrant that be would discharge with efficiency, and to the advantage of that illustrious seat of learning, the duties of the important and high office to which he had been raised. He alluded in particular to the large pecuniary sacrifice made by the Noble Marquis to the good of his country. The orator then turning to the distinguished stranger took occasion to eulogise the country which he represented. He then ad- verted to the long-tried talents and the services rendered to his country by the illustrious graduate. The new gra- duate was then conducted to the chair, went through the ordinary forms, and the Chancellor having taken him cor- dially by the hand, he retired behind the chair to his seat. The Archbishop of Canterbury was next announced, and with the same forms. The orator eulogised his learning, his piety, his easiness of access, giving equal facility of approach to the poor and to the rich. Even those who differed from him in religious opinions were ready to all. mit that he was beneficent and pious. He was already a graduate of the ilhistiious sister, Oxford, and they had reason to congratulate themselves that he was now a gra- duate of that University also. The Duke of Grafton was next presented, and, after a short encomium from the orator, retired ta his seat, after the usual form of presentation. The Duke of Wellington now advanced. Every Gentle- man. every Lady in the Senate, arose irstantly. Every hat and cap in the galleries was in rapid motion, and nothing of the kind could be finer than th« effect produced by the universal waving of hats, caps, and handkerchiefs, accompanied with reiterated cheers. The Noble Duke seemed highly delighted. He spoke a few words to the orator, suggesting to him, as it struck us, tl proceed in his oration, that silence might be restored. Such congratula- tion never perhaps before reached the ear of a conqueror even on the field of battle. The orator proceeded to eulo- gise in great neatness, and sometimes felicity, of language his services in Portugal, in Spain-in India, his victories so numerous, and so decisive, not slone for the benefit of England but of Europe. He then alluded to his services. The Noble Duke and the other graduates went through similar forms, and then withdrew. JKSUS COLLEGE. In the evening, after the ceremonies at the Senate House were closed, the Chancellor, with the High Steward, Heads of Houses and distinguished visitors, dWd with the Vice Chancellor at Jesus College. There being no hall in the house nearly large enough to accommodate the guests, a tem- porary dining room was constructed, by means of an awning, sufficiently large toer in, completely, One of the small square patches of ground, which is surrounded by the colle. giate buildings. This canopy was raised to such a height from the base as to remove all apprehension 0f danger from five large chandeliers which were suspende4 from it, two at each end, and one in the centre. The tables were arranged in the order generally used when a large number are to be ac- commodated. There was one row across the pavilion, if it may be so called, and three more running perpendicularly from it. The roof was ornamented with various flags, stan- dard, and devices. rwo were particularly remarkable for their beauty. They were of green silk, bearing, as we were informed, the College arms, or some devices connected with it. There is a line of cloisters running rmind the Court, and these were separated from the place in which the com- pany sat bv a partition of coloured calico. Hereagreatnum- ber of Ladies and Gentlemen were admitted, and from hence they could view, wi out giving the least interruption, all that passed at the entertainment. Places were set apart for the following Noblelnen, Prelates, distinguished foreigners, and Gentleme he Chancellor (the Marquis of Camden), the JJell,ngton, Lord'Farnborough, Lord Bayning, Lov<i D and Dudley, Lord Lyttleto, Lord Augustus Fitzclarence, Lord Alford, the Earl of Burlington, Lord Holmesdale, Lord Clive, Lord Castle, reagh, Lord Sidney, Jiari Oompton, Lord Haddo, Lord Abiuger, Lords Lyndhurst, Henniker, Carrington, Shef- field, J.

SUMMARY OF PARLIAMENT. -80- (Continued from our last Page.) HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESD A Y. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNFf an Address to his Majesty was agreed to, praying that he would be graciously pleased to direct that a new temporary House of Lords (agreeably to the plan of Sir R. Smirke) be immediately built. On the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY it was agreed that Counsel should be heard at the Bar on Thursday, touching the Islington Market Bill. The Loan Society Bill was brought up from the Coininans-Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TBESDAr. The Speaker took the Chair at twelve o'clock. The County Coroners Bill was cotisid,rh;d in Corrt. mittee. A division took place on the t",tlt clause,* when the discretionary power to close the Court was veited in the jury. At the evening sitting a short discussion took place on the presentation of petitions from Fifestofrtfy complaining of the appointment of Colonel Lymna1 as Colonel of the Fifeshire Militia. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Secretary of State had no power over the appointment, and it would only have been his duty to advise his Majesty not to sanction it if the individval was disqualified upon proper grounds; but he did not think a dif- ference of political opinions was a sufficient ground of disqualiifcation. Sir R. PEEL concurred in this view of the subject. Lord MORPETH having brought up the Bill for the regulation of the Ecclesiastical Revenues in Ireland it was agreed, after a short discussion, in which Lord J. Russell, Lord Morpeth, Sir R. Peel, Mr Harvey, and Mr Shaw took part, that the Bill should be read a second time on Monday next. Lord J. RUSSELL postponed going into Commit- tee on the schedule of the Corporation Bill until Thursday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in answer to a question of Mr Freshfleld, announced that he should bring on the Imprisonment for Debt Bill on Thursday, at the morning sittings. Mr C. BULLER gave notice that he would on the bringing up of the report of the Municipal Cor- poration Bill, move the addition of a new clause, to the effect of enabling the town council to contest all grants, leases, and other devises of property made by existent municipal corporations, since the com- mencement of the Bill before the House. Lord J. RUSSELL said that, from all the infor- mation he had received, something was necessary to be done on the subject. A short conversation took place relative to the refusal of Mr Hogg, one of the Municipal Corpora- tion Commissioners, to send in his reports. The report of the Scotch Burgh Committee was ordered to be laid oil the table. The House was oounted out at a quarter to seven o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-WEDNESDAY.

The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice that he should move for the second reading of the Cha- ritable Loan Societies' Bill on Friday.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS -W E:DNESDAY, The SPEAKER said that he had received a second petition against the return for Carlow, which was ordered to be taken into consideration on the 18th instant. Several petitions on various subjects were pre- sented. On the motion of Mr DIVETT, an amendment of the Municipal Corporations Bill, of which notice had been given by the hon. member for St. Ives, was expunged from the list of notices. The notice thus expunged on the ground of indecorum was a specimen of sarcasm stinging because it was not unfounded. Mr O'BRIEN moved the second reading of the Irish Poor Law Bill, which was opposed by Lord Morpeth, acceded to by the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, and, after a protracted but very dull debate in which MrO'Connell made a long speech, half on one and half on the other side of the question, was eventually carried. The BiLL was ordered to be committed on Wed- nesday, the 22d instant. The Assizes Removal (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. On the motion of Capt. G. FERGUSSON, that the report of the Entailed Estates (Scotland) Bill be taken into further consideration, The LORD ADVOCATE moved, as an amendment, that it be taken into further consideration that day three months, when the House decided in favor of ihe amendment by a majority of 70. The Bill was consequently lost. The Seamen's Enlistment Bill passed through Committee. The second reading of the Staffordshire Disfran- chisement Bill was postponed till Wednesday next. The House resolved itself into Committee on the Inns and Alehouses Bill, when Several olauses were agreed to. The House then adjow.ned, at half-past one o'clock. ¥

OLDHAM, MONDAY, JULY 6.Mr Feargus O'Connor has retired from the contest, and it is the opinion here that Mr Lees will be the successful can didate, as tha people generally, even the most ultra- Radical of tbem, prefer him to Mr Cobbett.
