IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-.-WZDNIV , DAY, JrNE 3. Woesladed from yesterday's Expross.) PUBLIC-HOUSES BILL. et r. W. if .tRTIN believed that if the bill mimed A wnuld stop a milk which ass perfectly innocent, the sale of beer le- the dinners and ,uppers of the working•classes, and a be reportion of the middle and professional daises. it l'. I:AIN ES said that the bill followed the lead of public n: • ..e . There were 800,000 in favour of the bill and only ti; l .l ' ..te ' 10 arunst it. The riots in Hyde-park had been referrer: to as showing what was the opinion of the people. But those riots took place sight years ago, and he hoped there was a great program in public opinion since then. Tier should decide on the merits of the bill from facts and evidence, and is his opinion the facts and evidence went to prove the expediency of adopting it. Mr. PACK!? said he thought that the measure might be viewed in relation to three classed of preens —the abstainers, the codirmed drunkards, and the sober classes of the cow enmity. With respect to the last class be would at coos any lie thought this measure, if it became law, would be one of the moat tyrannical ever passed by the House of Commons. (Hear.) He considered it to be a groelthecimen of class legis lation. (Hear.) The total abstainers would not be affected sue tete or the other ; but the sober and moderate people would lie most shamefully used. (Hear, bear.) how great j was the majority of thou who used the public-house on I deuday merely for the purpose of getting • solitary glee of , ale or porter. (Hear, hear.) Many people were led away , by the use of the word intoxicating. But drinks were not ! intoxicatieg until they sere taken to excess. (Hear, hear.) Liquors did not intoxicate him (Mr. Parke), or auy one who took them in moderation. (Hear. hear.) Illustrations had been drawn from the le king of the Forbes Mackenzie Act in Scotland. Bit the habits of the Scotch and English were widely dil -1 t—thear, heard--and notoriously the act in question was ,essed to check the enormous consumption of whisky. It was a fallacy to suppose that because partial closing had worked so well, therefore entire closing would be meow paned by still greater benefits. If be believed that the seaman would be really attended by greater sobriety be should he the first to support it; but be believed that its gaily effect would be to punish sober men by a most tyrannical excludoe. (Hear, hear. ) 51r. LAWSON said he would not argue Ode question labbatarien grounds. The question of how far • man was to keepthe Sabbath holy was one for his own conscience, le he derided in • higher court than even the High Court of Perliameut. He would treat the matter as a police gum tom. It was only on the ground of police regulations that thee ',ad • right to interfere with the consumption of trod er drink by the people Now the consumption of these drinks was considered by some hoe. members to be a necessity, by others to be • luxury. But there were three points which he thought important in die cueing this question —one, whether the present police law answered ; a second, whether it was probable that the mea • was e if the hon. member for Hull would be an improvement on the existing system ; a third, would the carrying out of ASCOT RACES.—VSEDN MDA Y. this measure give rise to greater inoooveniences than the The rams bri ll iant weather which inagurated the Royal oorrespooding advantages.

ACCIDIITT TO A VOLTRITIO:R. —At the annual inapectioo of the West Middlesex Rifles by Colonel Erskine, which took place in the Regent's-park on the god Met, a sad accident occurred to one of the corps by the discharge of his musket while in the act of unfixing his bayonet, which had the effect of shattering his hand. The poor fellow (whose name is Tilley) was at once attended to by Mr. Carr Jackson, one of the surgeons to the Great Northern Hospital, who, as surgeon to the regiment, was fortunately present, and on examination, finding that amputation was mammary, had the sufferer imme diately removed to the temporary in-patient department of the above hospital in the Portland-road, where he per formed the operation, which th e gallant volunteer bore without flinching, re fusing to take chloroform which was offered, and on inquiry yesterday morning the patient was re ported to be going on very well. This accident should serve as a caution to volunteers, as on inquiry it was stated that the sufferer had omitted to release the trigger, which was on full cock, and on sharply bringing his gun to ground to unfix the bayonet the piece went off with the disastrous conse quences stated.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.--Jints 3. Sittings is Bsaboo.—(Bdore Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Barons Bramwell, Calomel!, and Wilde.) OVERSEERS OF THE PARISH OF STAPLE-INN (APPELLANTS) O. BOARD OP (WARMAN:I OF THE HOLBORN UNION (RISPON- DENTS), This was a special case raising the question whether the parish of Staple-inn was liable to contribute to the common fund of the Holborn Union, in which it was situated, for the relief of the poor, under the following circumstance& The Holborn Union was duly formed in March, 1836, soon after the passing of the 4 and 5 William IV., c. 76. At that time and long afterwards Staple-inn was extra-paro obial, having oo overseers, no poor, and no poor rates, and was not included in the unto. It was entered separately as extra-parochial in the report of the Registrar-General in the census of 1851. By the 20th Vict., c. 19, s. 1, it was enacted that after 31st December, 1867, every place entered separately in the report of the Registrar-General which was extra-parochial, and where no rate was levied fur the relief of the poor, should, for all purposes of the as sessment to the poor rate, be deemed a pariah, and that the justices should appoint overseers for such place. In pursuance of that act the justices appointed overseers for Staple-inn. and on the 25th of August, 1858, the poor-law Commissionersmade an order that it should be added to the Holborn Union. The guardians of the union made an order in May, 1862, requiring the overseers of Staple-inn to pay 501. as a contribution to the union, under the provisions of the 24th and 25th N'ic., see. 9, which provided that the several parishes comprised io any union should be liable to contribute to the common fund of the onion in proportion to the rateable value of the lands and tenements, &c., within it. The overseen of Staple-inn ap pealed to the justices against this order, on the ground that the pariah had never become a part of the union, and even if it had, inasmuch as it had never yet contributed to the common fund, the sec tion of that act did not apply. The justices held that it was liable, and confirmed the order of the guardians. The cue now came by way of appeal before this court. Mr. Pickering, Q.C., and 51r. Hutton contended on the part of the overseen of Staple-inn that the pariah was not liable to contribute to the common fund of the union. Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Mr. Hopwood having been beard on the other side. The court unanimously held that Staple-inn was liable to contribute to the common fund, and confirmed the order of the justices. Judgment for the respondents. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JUNE 3. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) OLEN U. BURGE% AND COVER. This was a testamentary ;Ttreratinitc the will of James Philp, late of Westminster. a retired surgical instrument maker. The plaintiff, the executor, propounded a copy of the document, and alleged that it had been destroyed by Mary Ann Philp, a daughter of the deccend, sines his death. The defendants, who were the executors of Miss Philp, alleged that no such will had been made or duly executed. Mr. Serjeant Parry, Dr. Swabey, and Mr. D. T. Evans for the plainti ff ; Mr. Serjeant Shea, Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Wambey for the defendants. The deceased had come from Scotland many years ago, and bad prospered in his business. He had received kindnesses from the brother of the plaintiff, Mr. W. Cunningham Glen, who was a barrister and legal adviser to the Poor Law Board. Mr. Glen had come to London by his invitation in 1835. and had stayed at his house till he obtained an ap pointment. He was on the friendliest possible terms with him, and when the testator visited Scotland after 40 years' absence, he was received with the greatest cordiality by Mr. Glen's connections. The testator was io the habit of con sulting the plaintiff about his affairs; and in 1852 he made a will by which he benefited. The principal evidence in support of the plaintiff's case was as follows Sarah Smith—l was formerly in the service of the late Mr. Philp and his daughter. I used to breakfast and supped with Miss Philp, and I carved at dinner. In June, 1856, we went to Ilfracombe, and a person named Fanny Jones came to take charge of the house while we were away. Mr. and Miss Philp frequently quarrelled about the way in which his property should be left. On one occasion before 1856 Miss Philp said, "You had better leave Wm. Glen (the plaintiff) all, and then you will be satisfied." Mr. Philp said, " Ann, you are very ungrateful; I have remained single for your sake since I lost your mother." Remember putting my name to a paper in June, 1856. It was the week before we went to Ilfracombe. Mr. Philp said to me, "Go and call Fanny, and come back yeomen ; I shall want you both." When we came back Mr. Philp said, ' I want you to put your name to this pa r, but first see me put mine to it. It is nothing that will ever bring you into any harm, my girls ; it is only my will, in case anything should happen to me." Mr. Philp then signed his name on the paper, I wrote mine next, and then Fanny Jones hen. Miss Philp was present, but I don't remember that she said anything. Three or four months afterwards Mr. Philp read it over in the presence of his daughter and me. It left William Glen 2,000/. in cash, and the house 48, Vincent-square, ea it stood at Miss Philp's death, with the exception of her wardrobe; and also the house 17a, New.street. It also gave to Eliza Austin 500/. (free of legacy duty) ; to Miss Jane Glen, 1.501. ; to Miss Ann Glen, 1504 ; to the Female Education in the East, 501. (free of legacy duty) ; to the three Miss Cunningham' 1001. each ; to - Mr. Peter Cunningham 1001. • to Mr. Jam or Mr. John Cunningham 1001 • to Mini Agnes Rice 1001. • to Mrs. Burgess 100/. ; to ;I;ch of her children, with th e exception of Lizzie (Mrs. Goya) 50/. ; and to Sarah Ann King (myself), provided that I was in his ureic., at his death, 201. By the Judge—l do not remember anything else. Mr. Bitrjeant Parry—Was there any mention of his daughter! The Judge—l will allow that question to be put though it is irregular ; but I asked the question I did just now, on purpose. It is a very peculiar case. Witness—l mistook the beginning of the will. It com menced by hexing everything to Miss Philp for her life. I have heard Miss Philp say that the great Mrs. Glen would turn up her nose at her furniture. That was when Mr. Philp had expressed a wish that Mrs. Glen should have the house in Vincent-square. In September, 1859, I saw Mr. Philp looking ova: his papers. He put one on his table, and said, "It is no use keeping that any longer, take it down stairs, Ann, and barn it ; for it is no more than waste paper while the other sane." After the death of the testator, I saw Miss Philp go to the deed box, take out the paper which I had signed, and barn it in the dining-room fire. She said that no one except Fanny Jonas and me knew of the existence of that paper; that if Mr. Glen knew of it he would compel her to act upon it, but that she would have none of his interference. I never mentioned this to any one before Miss Philp's death ; when she died I told my husband. Crois-examined—l bad beard the will read three times. I have claimed 201. from Mina Philp. Did not mention the burning of the will, because I did not know the extent of Miss Philp's wickedness. I had no idea that the could have been punished for it in the way I have since learned. She always promised that she would carry out her father's wishes ' • and thought, therefore, that no harm would be done. I did not know that she was in my power. Did not claim the money because I kuew her to be io great diffi culties. Besides she told me that she bad left me a legacy of 201. in her will. . . . Mr. Ssrjeant Shea—Why didn't you tell your husband that you had a right to W. from her! Witness—l don't know. We took the house in New stress from Miss Philp, and paid her real for it. I saw her alone when I paid it her, but I never attempted to setoff the 20/. against it. After her death we owed her executors for the last quarter. We had left the house without giving outiaddress ; but we bad not gone far. When the executors mete to my husband for the rent be replied that the estate owed me 20/. ; and then he stated the fact. I had told him about the urning of the will. Mr. Philp bad exclnded Mrs. Gover from his will bemuse he said she would marry well off ' • and he gave her a handsome present on her wedding day. Fanny Jones proved that she bad signed a paper at the time referred to by the last leafless, and that the testator had declared it to be his will. Mrs. Slonnord, another servant, also spoke to having seen the will several times. The court then rose. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JuNa 3. (Before Mr. Commiaeioeer Goa'burn.) RIS 818 CHAR. SULLIVAN. The bankrupt, who was formerly a flag lieutenant in the navy, recently applied for his release from custody, sad was ordered to find two sureties of 256/. each, and enter into his own recognisance of 5001. Mr. Lawrence asked that the time for procuring bail should be enlarged. The proposed sureties bad a great ob jection to coming to the court to "justify," but they would join in a bond, and make any affidavit that was re quired. His Honour did not think that a bond would be suffi cient. ••-••• • • "" • lAwrance said that one of the sureties wee willing to deposit the money with the official assignee. His Honour doubted whether the official assignee could legally receive it. It was ultimately arranged that one of the sureties should justify On Friday, sod that the other should deposit the amount if the offiCial assignee would receive it. His Hamar said it sho'uld be understood that no feeling for the bankrupt, who had moved in high circles, would be allowed to divert the case from the usual practice. or divest it of those formalities which were required from the humblest petitioner. AMERICAN IRON-CLADS.—In the engagement at Charleston three types of iron-clads were represented—the Monitors, with their laminated armour ; the Keokuk, with her sandwich armour of iron and wood; sod the high-sided Ironsides, with her solid plate. The Monitors received little damage, the Keokuk was pierced through and through, se if it bad been pastebcerd. and the plates of the Izooeides were cracked.

Lest week a large quantity of meet, which it was stated was intended to be manufactured into German sausages and spiced beef, and which was quite unfit for human food, was seized on the complainant's premises. In consequence of the case appeariog in the newpspera, a mob of between 400 and 500 people assembled in front of Mr. Mome's house, hissed and hooted, threw stories, and caused snob a riot that it was found necessary to have a large force of police to clear the streets. Yesterday morning another mob assembled and threw a large number of stones and broke several windows. The prisoner, who was seen to throw over 20 stones and break one window, was taken into custody. The prisoner said he was very sorry, and hoped he might be forgiven. Mr. Moss stated that when be took hold of the prisoner he then had a lot of stones in his pouession. He thought there bad been more fuse about the meat case than there was any necemity for. Mr. Barker asked if the complainant was the sausage maker who was fined IW. for having bad meat in his pos. session, and was answered in the affirmative. Be then stated that that was so reason why the defendant should break windows. He should order him to pay the amount of the damage and • penalty of Is., or in default to he imprisoned for seven days. The prisoner was locked up in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

It appoira.. from the report of the committee, which was read by Mr. Stephen Cave, M.P., that on the 31st of December, 1861, there were on board the school ship Cornwall 186 boys, and that 44 had been discharged. man have been admitted during 1862, 65; and discharged 55; leaving on board, 31st December, 1862, 196 ; making a total of 295 entered, and 99 discharged, since the commencement of the undertaking in June, 1859. Of the 66 lads admitted during the year 1862., no lem than 35 had not been previously convicted. Many were nom. mitred for trivial offences. Their reform might have been attained at a less cost to the country by means of industrial schools. Thirteen were under 12 years of age, so that at the end of the period at which the course of training is ordinarily complete, these boys will be too young to be engaged as sailors. On the other hand many who are entered as between 15 and 16 ere in reality much older, and therefore unlikely to take to • seafaring life. The financial condition of the society is satis factory. The Treasury allowance of 71. per head per week, now reduced to Ga., falls very far short of meeting the ex. penses of the society ; but as a payment of 2a. 6d. per week per head is now required from the counties availing themselves of this method of disposing of their juvenile delinquents, the ordinary expenses of the institution may be met without calling upon the public for further support. Middlesex, however, which has sent no less than 218 boys to the Corn wall,bas hitherto declined to make anypayment The noble chairman having moved the adoption of the report it was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Cave, in reply to Mr. C. Lyall, M.P., stated the average cost of each boy would this year be probably under 201. The officers of the insti tution having been re-elected the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLlA mom—Yesterday in Earl Amberst's committee the bill of the Mid-Wales Railway was paned. The committee then proceeded with the consideration of the Great Western and West Midland Ama'gamation Bill, Mr. Saunders, secretary of the Great Western, and Mr. Fenton, chairman of the West Midland, being examined at considerable length. in the Commons the bill of the Norwich and Spalding 'Railway was thrown out, and that of the Peterborough, Wisbecb, and Sutton Railway pealed. The bill of the Loodoo sod North Western for new breech lines in Warwickshire, Derbyabire, Leicestershire ' and Cheshire, and abandonment of Knutaford line, was thenprocewied with and paseed,and the company's second bill, for additional powers for new railway in York and Lancaster, new lands in Chaster Lancaster , N orthampton, Stafford, and Middlesex, together with arrangements with other companies, was proceeded with. Fur ther evidence was taken in the South Yorkshire committee, and no the Lisweetry and Newtown Amal gamation BilL After refusing a locus standi to the Ulster Railway Company, the committee, of which Lord Stanley is the chairman, passed the bill for the Portadown and Dungannon Railway and that of the Waterford and Passage. The case of the Scottish Gemini Railway was subsequently opened. The committee on the competing lines of the Edinburgh and Dunfermline Railway to Edinburgh and Glasgow (Edinburgh and Dunfermline branches) paned portions of both bills, leaving the general settlement of I questions on consideration of the clauses. The principal witness examined in opposition to the proposed new R ne to Brighton was Mr. Hawkins, the traffic managerof thallium HAMMERSMITH AND CITY RAILWAY.—A special meeting of this oninpauy was held yesterday at the office, 17, Duke-sheet, Westminster; Mr. John Parsons in the chair ; for the purpose of considering a bill pending in par liament, entitled A Bill to 'mold's the Hammersmith and City Railway Company to make a new junction on the Great Western Railway, and for other purp os es." Mr. Room, the siezetary, having read the clauses of the bill, the chairman said he much regretted having to call upon the shareholders to express their approval of this bill, which would entail on the company a heavy expense, with out any corresponding advantage. The Great Western Railway Company, objecting to have a junction on a level, insisted upon this new junction being made, declaring if they did not make it they would not work the Hammersmith line when completed. The board had done their utmost to induce the Great Western Company to forego this demand, but without avail ; hence there was no alternative but to go parliament with this bill. The construction of the junction would cost about 20,000/., • and as there were stations and other works on the line to be made, the board had caused a clause to he inserted giving them the power, with the sanction of the shareholde rs , of raising additional capital to the extent of 110,0001. He col eluded by moving, very reluctantly, the adoption of the bill. Mr. Singly opposed the clause for raising additional capital. The line ought to be made for the amount originally stated, 240,000/. The hon. proprietor then went into a long statement respecting the purchase of some land re- I 'paired by the line by two of the directors. This gave rime to a long personal discus ion, lasting for more than two bourn without a prospect of a eatisfactory settlement, nod ultimately, on the motion of Mr. M'Gaul, the meeting was adsirned until Tueeday_aext. TEWKESBURY AND MALVERN RAILWAY.—A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, 26, Parliament-street, Mr. Henry is the chair, to consider and approve of a bill before parliament entitled " A Bill for enabling the Midland Railway Oriespany to construct new railways and works, and to sequin additional land in the West Riding of the county of York, and in the counties of Derby. Stafford, Warwick, Leioreter, Gloucester, Not tingham, the city of Woreeeder, the towns of Nottingham and Northampton, and for other purposes," Are. The soli citor having read the heads of the bill, the chairman, with • few explanatory remarks, moved that the said bill be ap proved and sanctioned by the shareholders present. The motion having been seconded was agreed to, and the pro oeedinp terminated.

The eateloguee have comprised %All bales, viz.—Sydney, 18,473 ; Port Phillip and Portland Bay, 34,572 ; Vas Land, 4,803 ; South Australian, 20,907 ; New &Woad, 5,061; Swan River, 1,111; aud i t. of bond Hope, 10,184 bales. In the interim of the anise of th e last sad present sales the arrivals were—Sy y, 15,791 ; Port Phillip, 40.604 ; Van Diemen 's Lard, 4,606; Adela id e, 21,049 ; New Zealand, 4,917 ; Swan Hirer, 1,122 •, Cape, 10,488 hales, the quantities sold from the nye last districts beirg in conformity therewith. The increase on the Sydney arises from second-hand wools, of which there have likewise been many amongst the Port Phillip, as about 4,000 bales of the new arrivals were forwarded direct to the interior on account of importers, end further, about 5,000 bales bang held over for the next July sales. The present sales lave been marked throughout with great spirit, and a huge demand on the part of the French buyers, whilst we never remember so much comparative dulness to have prevailed with the home trade of the Yorkshire districts. The requirements for France were chiefly combing wool, and the fund clothing descriptions, as also the unwashed wools of the several colonies; and the operations of the foreign buyers have upheld prices of these several aorta on en average to a point equal to this time last year. The sales opened at the concluding rates of the last series, and, as they progreased,reached and maintained fully the highest point of the February and Much sales, with the exception of middle and inferior clothing wools. In the absence of a continental demand for the like sorts, it was here that the decreased requirements of the horn trade worked its pre. judicial influence, and prices have been very irregular, and decidedly below the rates current brat year. The MUMe of the decreased consumption of colonial wool in the York shire districts arises from many of the Bradford spinout being chiefly at work on English and coarse continental wools, and owing to many manufacturers in and about Had donfield and Leeds using nothing but shoddy and cotton waste. The west of England awl Scotch woollen maaufac turers continue to take their usual quantity both of Aus tralian and Cape wool, and from their purchases, combined with demand for the continent, Cape wools have been fully maintained in price, and at the close were not obtainable at former rates. The assortment on the present occasion has been indifferent, with a total absence of floe qualities. Port Phillip and Adelaide wools have formed the most pro minent feature on the present occasion as to quantity ; but although the Adelaide wools turn out equal to hat year, and some brands amongst the Port Phillip have realised high rates up to Is. 90. they have been surpassed in price by some Aus tralian reaching Is. but above all by some of the Launceston wools realizing 3s. 50., thus proving the capabilities of the several districts to produce wools of high value, although differing io description. The Swan River wools were of • good useful middle quality ; and the New Zealand, comprised both long and short stapled descriptions of good quality. They are being sent over much improved as to regularity of packing. Lamb wool has been in less demand for the continent thin of late; the quantity of good and fair length stapled descrip tions has, however, not been more than equal to the require manta of the home trade, and prices have been fully Mail tabbed, with a tendency upwards towards the close. The too early shearing of much of the Port Phillip renders it toeless for hosiery purposes ; and the felt batting trade, for which short lambs are mostly used, being very depressed, wires have ruled lower for these sorts. The quantity taken kw export on the present occasion cannot be far short of nearly one-half the wool sold, notwithstanding the de creased operations of the Belgian and Netherlands manatee. Wren. It is difficult and dange rous to hazard an °pinkie as to the future, but as the home staplers have added so little to stock, we are inclined to think they mast operate ' more freely in the next July and August roles, to the main. , tenance of present prices. Towards the July said August Balm 39,127 bales have arrived.—(From the circular of Neon. Richard Dutton and Son, dated Jane 3.)

The amount of business done does not fall short of the monthly average of the present year, and the altera tions in pnom are nearly confined to the articles of light English and foreign butte. The supplies have been limited, although generally adequate to the wants of buyers, but there has been no increase in the stock. during the month. Under these circumstances, and with no imme diate prospect of a termination of the American war, we can only anticipate a continuance of the same steady, although somewhat restricted demand, which we have had for many mouths to report. Raw goods also are nearly unaltered. The imports of the month are moderate ; only one vessel has arnved with hides direct from the River Plate. Prices of South American hides have somewhat declined ; other articles remain stationary. At Leadenhall yesterday the amount of business done was limited, but quite equal to the fresh supplies, which were small, Prices were unaltered. — From the circular of Means. T. J. and T. Powell.
