Dmitri de Buys in a communication to the charge cr affairea. TICKETS-OF-LEAVE. In answer to Earl STANHOPS, Earl Git.kN VILLE maid that a circular bad been issued to the various authorities, stating that it was determined that no further remission of punishment should take place where osevicts had been recommitted. That was the only change which it was thought ueosseary to make pending the inquiry before the commission. — ln reply to a question from the Marquis of SALISBURY, Earl GRANYELLE said he would lay the circular on the table. The Earl of DERBY wished to know whether, when a person holding • tic.ket-of-leave had been recommitted for • sew offence, the second punishment would run concur rently with the unexpired period of the first 'metopes, or whether it would begin only after the lapse of the entire period of the first conviction ! Earl GRANVILLE said that the new conviction would lot apply to the previous one. • • . TbaS;arl of DERBY said that in that case the convict might be better off in consequence of the second conviction. 'Lord CRANWORTH sald there would be no particulat .difikelty, because the judge bad a discretion in every case. . - The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said he would make an t% inquiry of the noble earl, of which he had not given notice, which he would be happy to postpone if the noble earl could not answer it immediately. It had been stated in the public journals some weeks ago in giving an account of the convict establishment at Portland, that the convict Redpath, who was sentenced to transportation for hie in the year 1857 was now at liberty on a ticket-of-leave ; and, as the writer Idded, in all probability enjoying the proceeds of his felony. This poison was convicted atjthe Ceatnl Criminal Court in 1657, for oneof the mostecormous forgeries which stood recorded in the annals of crime. The judge said that an amount of property to thew extent of 40,0004 or 60,0001. was found is his residence ; that he was a very bar. dined criminal; and that, oonaidenng the enormity of the offence, be mud sentence him to be transported for life beyond the seas. It was now stated, upon somewhat re. liable authority, that this man was at large, and had been enabled to assign hi property to representatives. He (the Duke of Marlborough) wished to know whether there was any troth in the statement, se if true, it showed a very absurd and ine ffi cient state of the law. - Earl GRANVILLE said that he could not state all the de tails of the particular cue, which did net fall within kisown department, miler notice were given. He would, however make inquiries upon the subject. Meanwhile, be would observe that it had been found very desirable to endeavour to adapt the convicts to a certain degree to the colonies to which they were about to be mat. The Guts of MARLBOROUGH said that the statement vu that Redpath was set at liberty after having served six year* Earl GRANVILLE said his belief was that the convict Redreth was in one of the colonies, but at large on a ticket ef-leave. Their lordships adjourned et tea minutes to 6 o'clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tvzepalr, Fn. 10. The Bream teak the chair at 4 o'clock. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS.

THE EXPRESS,. - WEDNESDAY /Lab) Entelltgence. COURT OF QUZEN'S'EZNCH.-FEB. 10. Altar Term Sittings at Nisi Priuist Wes,—(lis(ore Load Chid J adios Cockburn and a Spatial Jury.) JOlllB V. LAW FIRE INBURA3IOIIOCMPANT. Mr. Hawkins stated the case for the defendants. He said they considered themselves bound to resist this action on account of the grimly exaggerated and fraudulent claim anode by the plaintiff. Unless there were substantial grounds for resisting claims it was highly injurious for an insurance office to adopt mush • osurse, and whoa they had Inlaid the defendants evidence he felt convinced the jury would be of opinion that the defendants had done oo more thap their duty in baying this investigation. The plaintiff no doubt had sustained con siderable damage, and it always happened that a plaintiff bad the sympathies of the public, but he felt certain they would not be led away by their feelings and decide the case other than upon the evidence. He thought the circum stances of the case showed that the fire must have occurred in a different manner to that stated by the plaintiff; but he should abstain from entering into that, and confine his ob servations to the quantity of goods said to have been in what had been called " the fixture," and he hoped to be able to satisfactorily satisfy them that the plaintiff's claim had been greatly exaggerated, both with regard to the quantity and their value. lustuaece offices were bound to investigate such claims, or their acquiescence in them, with out investigation, would act as a premium on fraud. The learned counsel entered minutely into the various points raised in the comae of the trial, and seal die d the plaintiff's menus, and the quantity of stock to have been on the premises at the time of the fire. e plaintiff had not given a particle of evidence as to the origin of the fire, or %1 character and description when it was first seen ; but the defendants would feel themselves bound to call vitamins, which for some reason the plaintiff had not done (probably for reasons best known to himself) who would be able to give • description of the fire before it was put out. There was no doubt the ire burnt fiercely and broke out near the fixture, but with regard to the actual eters of these premiere a different description would be given of it by the defendants' witness's. There was no fault to find with the claim up toa oertain extent, but be didobj tto what he called the grossly fraudulent part, viz, nearly 500 f. worth of property in the fixture which was totally destroyed. The remainder of the burnt fixture was in court, and they were able to form an opinion whether it was possible the consumed part could have contained so large an amount of goods. Refetring to the evidence, the learned counsel directed attention to White's evi dence, and commented on his remark to Mr. Eiolart, that the claim sou large and a swindle, and asked how it was possible for Mr. Eiolart, on such a representation, to do other than recommend the company to resist the demand. The plaintiff, by making an exaggerated and fraudulent claim, had forfeited his right to recover under the policy The fire did not rage so fiercely in the fixture as had been described, and be should show that plaintiff had nothing like the quantity of gloves in stock he had claimed for ; and a moat material point was, that Mr. White took an account of everything in the unburnt part of the fixture, leaving it beyond all doubt there never could have been the quantity of gloves and ties in the small space of the totally burnt part of the fixture, viz., 171 dozen. The court then adjourned. AFFIRMATION BILL. Sir J. TUELAWNY obtained leave to introduce a bill to allow certain groom to make afilrinatioe in all oases where an oath is or 'ha be required. He would only state that the bill was substantially the Kane as the one of last ass ice, and which proposed to apply to this country the law now in force in India. ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN (IB.EL&ND) BILL. Sir R. PEEL moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law enabling boards of ilaardisse to recover oasts of. maintenance of illegitimate children in certain 0111011 in Ire land. Mr. HENNESSY said the Poor Law Act for Ireland had be wholly useless and inoperative, as predicted relveci to seeeion, and he should be glad to hear what was the scope and object of this measure. Sir R. PEEL said the bill was merely for the purpose of putting a proper construction on one clause of the act of last year, there baring bees a difference of opinion amongst the chairmen of boards of guardians and the law officers of the The motion wee agreed to. CHURCH RATES REDEMPTION BILL. Yr. ALOOCH obtained leave to introduce a bill for the voluntary redemption of church rates. BENCILERB' JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY BILL Sir G. BOWYER moved for leave to introduce a bill to amend the law regarding the jurisdiction and authority ex erased by the benches of the four inns of court in England in certain cases. The hon. gentleman said this bill was precisely the Nuns as one which he introduced last erasion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he did not rise to offer any munition to the hon. baronet, but to state that, in the event of any other measure being introduced on this nib. ject by the heathers of the inns of court, who had at pre sent vested in them this jurisdiction, it would be understood that the government and private memben would be at liberty to adopt their proposal, whether in a substantive form or by way of amendment to this bill. This subject was no doubt one of great importance, and be was at liberty to state that it had received the attention of the beechen of the inns of court, and that some communications had taken place between them and the government, and he was not without hope that the result would be an agreement upon a measure of a character which would recommend itself to the house. At present thecommunicationa had not advanced far, nor did be know that they would result in a bill. He hoped this measure would not be hastily pressed forward so as to interfere with the deliberations of the touchers of the inns of court. Sir F. KELLY said the observations of the boo. baronet led him to suggest that some understanding should be come to u to the period at which the bill should be read a second time. They were within a fortnight or so of the circuits, when many of the boa and learned members of the house would))s out of town, end he hoped the hoe. baronet would ant bring on the second reading until after the assizes were over. It would be desirable that the bill of the benches of the inns of court should be before the bones before the second reading of bill. Alter a few observations from Sir G. Bowan to the effect that ample time would be given far the consideration of the bill, the motion wee speed to. POLAND.-THE lONIAN ISLANDS. On the order of the day for the committee of supply, Mr. HENNESSY repeated his question of the previona evening, as to whether Austria had, pending the Crimean war, ar subsequently at the Congress of Paris, made any proposals for joint action in the emancipation of Poland. After some remark, from Mr. Groyne and Mr. Pia ci:um; Mr. B.OIIBUCH wished to know whether any despatches bad been received from Austria respecting the lonian Islands, sod if so whether they could be laid on the table. Lord PALMERSTON said that as regarded Poland, no Mahad been made by Austria to England and Femme Pollths Crimean war for establishing the kingdom of , but, on the contrary, to such an arrangemmit Austria would strenuously have objected. All that occurred at the Congress of Paris on the 'abject of Poland wen to be found in papers which bad been laid Mims the house. As to the lonian Islands, they had not been roads • possession of Great Britain by the treaty of Vienna, but they were re-established u an independent »public, and were placed under the protection of England. There was no doubt that the crown, by Its own authority, and without the consent of parli ament, could enter into • lusty for their alienation. No step for that purpose bad yet been taken, and he agreed with Mr. Pesoocke, that a condition that they should be annexed to Greece was in dispensable, and that Greece should undertake not to sur render them to any other state. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, sad the usual resolution, " That supply be granted to Mafeelly,” was pained. The bills for the introduction of which lee,. bad been obtained earlier in the evening were brought in and read • iron time. The house adjourned at • quarter to 6 o'clock. THE CITY MIMS COMMISSION. The new commission was opened yesterday in the Sewers' Court-room, Ouldhall, under the presidium of the Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor. The Pomaded= having been read by Mr. Law, the principal clerk, Mr. De Jersey was usanimonely sleeted chairman for the eseniag year. The Lord Mayer then retired, and Mr. De Jersey took the chair, after which Mr. Bayley was re-elected sohcitor, sad the regular bunions of the court was proceeded with. A memorial was biome. up signed by • number of the inhabi tants of Fineburreirens and its vicinity setting forth the immoral/mos which would area if • bill which is now p*din before parliament entitled " A Bill to authorise the Great &atm Railway Company to make • Station at Fier bury-eiretts, and certain Railways In end near the Metropolis, and for other purposes," were pamed. It was proposed to to take the whole of the homes and gardens forming irmsbury-aircus, Mcluding the Laid* Institution. The poet* stated that Finebary-eireue, with is garden, formed an open area in the eastern part of the metro polis, and a desirable place of renideaos far those who, like the petitioners, were obliged to reel* in the City; and. moreover, it was • healthy spot, when young people, as well as the old and infirm, resorted to take exercise, as the only avidlehle spot near, and that considering the crowd e d state of the metropolis, and the absence of vegetation over an exteneivs territory, every open space, and especially every prelim, was of vital imports**. The petitioners hoped the court would take these fa* lath emeaderation, sad lake some steps in the matter.

BISHOP 11. CHISSALL. -CURIOUS CA/11. This was an action to recover the value of a Hansom cab sod • set of harness belonging to the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded several pleas, denying that the goods were the property of the plaintiff. Mr. Hoary James waa counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hud dketon, Q.Q, and Mr. Barnard for the defendant. ' Mr. Henry Jame', in opening the plaintiff's case, said the plaintiff wee formerly a cab driver in the employ of the de fendant, who was • cab proprietor. About two months before the last Derby-day the plaintiff was standing in front of Simpson's Divan, in the Biased, when a gentle man named Beot came up to him sod engaged him to drive him about all night. That gentleman was a young, and what often turned out to be, foolish man. He was a man of property, and, mounting to the learned counsel's opinion, to get rid of his money as soon uhe could.

After that he took the plaintiff down to his estate at Eastbouree, where be treated him very kindly for • long time, and ultimately made him • preempt of a Hansom cab and suet of harness, for which be gave the plaintiff a sum amounting to over 501. to pay for them. The cab and hareem was purchased of the de fendant and paid for by the plaintiff.

In cress-examination he admitted that he bad been twice in prim, once for felony and once for ill treating his wife. He denied that he had seduced one of Mr. Bent's servant's whilst he was staying with him at Eastbourne. He bad told them all that be was unmarried. He did not tell Mr. Bent that he was John Sullivan ; but he did sot J den th at he was when other people told Mr. Bent that be was ohn Sullivan, the pugilist. The defames was that Mr. Bent, who was a young gentle man of large fortune, living at Eastbourne, had engaged the plaintiff to take hint about to various parts of the metropolis, and had paid him 101. to take him to Epsom, at the time of the Derby, forties days. He was constantly in tows, sad when he came op be engaged the plaintiff to drive him about. They became very ftmdly, and the plaintiff proposed that be should purchease private Hansom, but allow him to ply for hire with it when he (Mr. Beet) was not in town. Ac cordingly he gave the plaintiff 451. to purchase • private Hansom which the defendant had for sale, and 61. or 71. for • set of hareem Mr. Bent just at that time left London for Fastbouree, and took the plaintiff with him. The plaintiff had not been down there long before Mr. Bent beard that the plaintiff had seduced one of his servants, bad promised to marry her, and had been pl. London and asked the defendant to write to his (the aintiff's) " swell," meaning Mr. Bent, and tell him that it would oast 71. to take out the number of the cab, whereas the expense was only about 21. 10s. These matters com ing to Mr. Bent's knowledge, he at once sent the plaintiff away, and refused to let him inside the house again. He never pve the plaintiff the cab, but always held it u his own. me plaintiff subsequently went up to London, and tried to get the cab and harness away from the defend. ant's yard, but, the defendant having received a letter from Mr. Bent, be refused to let the plaintiff have them, and the next thing that was heard about the matter was the writ, -- '/LeTury, without hearing the pester portion of the de fendant • witnewee, laid they were all agreed, and Yr.

The Lord Mayor said it was a very bad case, and his lord ship availed himself of the recent statute, which renders the wilful destruction of property of the value of 5/. and upwards an indictable offence, punishable with imprison went and hard labour, and command the prisoner for trial, A respectable looking woman, about 3 3 years of age. stated to the magistrate that she had been married some time ago to a gentleman who had subsequently deserted her, since which the Roman catholic priest who bad married them had taken away her wedding-ring and certificate, for which she wished a gammons against him. He bad ad ministered chloroform to her, she added, and had taken them from her when she was under its influence. She was ososeious at the time, but without power to resist. Mr. Paynter thought her story very unlikely, but said she might give the person of whom she complained into cue. tody, if she thought fit. Before leaving the court, applicant stated the name of the priest against whom her charge was made. A well-dressed and good-looking middle aged woman, who gave the name of Sarah Bailey, was charged with the fol lowing gross misconduct : Mr. Dyer, the proprietor of a refreshment house at 64, King's.road, Chelsea, said that the previous night the de fendant had goods of him to the value of id., which she refused to pay. He asked her civilly for the money when she used the most disgusting language to him, struck him several times, and took up a knife to stab him. Mr. Paynter—What is she—a prostitute' Defendant—No ; 1 am not, you old swine. I'm, a re spectable married woman. A youth in complainant's employ confirmed his state ment, adding that be (witness) took the knife from her hand. Defendant—You took the knife from my band, you ! Do you know that you are speaking of a respectable married woman' What did you do, eh? Witness—l helped to turn you out of the shop. Defendant—You helped to turn me out of the shop turn you. Saying which she rushed towards him to put her threat into execution, but was restrained by the os of the court, whin she laughed derisively, and rep eating " You helped to turn me out, did you r exclaimed, , Why I could at two better men than you and your master." Charles Sutton, 139 B—l was called to take the defendant into custody. Defendant—Yes ; and then I walked into you, didn't I? Of course , you're very much hurt, you—. (Here a volley of the mo 4 filthy epithets followed, which created laughter amongst some of the persons assembled.) Mr. Poynter—lf the laughter is repeated I shall certainly have the court cleared. 1 cannot see anything to laugh at in a human being degraded below the level of the beast. Defendant's previous conviction for disorderly conduct having been returned, I am determined to commit her for three months. SOUTHWARK. A singular middle-aged man, dressed in a suit of shabby black, who gave the name of Isaac Merriam, and exhi bited the remains of • black eye, and an old cut over the nose, was brought up in custody charged with begging in the public streets. Police-constable 217 hi said that about six o'clock the evening be was on duty DOW London-bridge, whew he saw the prisoner standing by the entrance of the railway termini. He was bolding his hand out, and soliciting alms. Witness went up to him and cautioned him, when he moved away. However, a little while afterwards witness saw the prisoner at the game spot begging again. The magistrate asked him whether he heard the prisoner ask any one for money ? The constable replied in the negative ; but be saw him receive several sums, among which was a sixpence. He then took him into custody, feeling satisfied that he was a begging-letter impostor, end on searching him be found • petition, eettinv forth that the bearer—Leman Harriso City clerk—was garotted on the 20th of December, sad not only nearly murdered but robbed, and in aonssgweed illness lost his situation, and begging assistance from the benevolent. _ _ The rate observed that be never heard much as excuse for ging in his life. As for being garotted, that was all false. The Chief Clerk said that be had no doubt the prisoner was a successful beggar, and the black eye and cut over the nose was caused of ter one of his carouaings. The prisoner said it was nothing of the kind. He was protted and nearly murdered. He also denied being a pro torsional beggar. The Magistrate had no doubt about that, but be should remand him until Thursday, so that a communication might be made with the Mendicity licciety, who no doubt knew all about him. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY. The report of the directors, to be submitted to the half-yearly meeting of proprietors, shows the baked of revenue applicable to the payment of dividend on the ordinary stock of the oompany to be 257,3721. 6s. sd. ; and out of this emotuit the directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, lees income tax, and to carry forward the balance of 15,50 01. Bs. lOct to next half-year's account. The oontinuattee of the American civil war has had a most depressing effect upon the revenue of the company, the receipts having fallen 78,769/. below those of the corresponding half-year, although that half-year showed nearly 49,0004 less than the Name period of 1860. It is satisfactory, however, to the directors to observe in dications of • gradual improvement in the future revenue of the company. The working expenses have been consider ably reduced ; but, amongst other things, the increue of the charge for rates and taxes, consequent upon the distress in the ootton manufacturing districts, has caused them to be heavier than was expected. The rolling stock and permanent way are in good order and condition. In socordsnoe with • resolution pared at the lut half yearly meeting of the proprietors of the company, the di rectors have had under 'consideration the correct mode of appropriating the Warm of the reserve fund of the Esat lauaahire Railway, which boson several °cessions been the subject of discussion at half-yearly meetings ; and the directors, after taking notice of the intention of the company who instituted the fund, which was set apart to meet contingencies, and for enlarging, repairing, sad improving the works connected with the rail way,• have transferred the amount to the credit of the renewal account. The remaining balance of this account, vit., 51,9841. 7s. 7d., has been met by a transfer from revenue ; and in future, or until the pro prietors may otherwise determine, the renewal account will be closed each year—a sum of, say 15,0001. or 20,0001. being charged to Tustine in the first, and the balance in the second, halfear's amounts. The directors expect that Oldham, Roc -y hdale, and Raton line of railway will the be opened for traffic in July next. The directors have [or some time put been engaged in purtharang the property required for the viaduct from Salford to Victoria station, and intend to proceed with the execution of the works without delay. The works upon the branches to Dewsbury, fleckmondwilie, Meltham, and Shawfortb, for which act' were obtained in the years 1861 and 1802. will be gradually proceeded with, so that whilst meeting the public requirementathe expendi- Weep= them may be as little burdensome to the propri- Mors as possible.

Bird, coroner for Wasters , Middlesex, resumed and concluded, at the George and Anon H otel, Acton, the investigation into the circom steams of the murder of William Davey, the police con stable of the T division who was shot on ;he night of the 19th of last month. The proceedings appeared to mom even greeter interest than oo the previous occasions, and the court was densely crowded • but little additional evidence was taken, and the jury, a fter a brief deliberation, rettiroed a ve rdict of " Wilful murder against Joseph and lame Brooks." The announcement of the verdict was received with applause, w hi c h was, however, immediately checked. • The coroner then made out his warrant for the committal of the accused to Newgate for trial. THE EDINBURGH MURDER.—At the High Court o f Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday, Al•Zallda was charged witk the murder of James Patersoo, working jeweller, by stabbing him with a dagger or stiletto, under the circumstances which will be fresh io the recollection of our readers.

The cloth market has also been very inactive since Fri*. There bee indeed been an almost total absence of business for all markets.

B.—l have to report (says Mr. David Williams. offoe; of Customs at Aberdovey), that about 2 o'clock p.m. yester day, and within two hours of low water, blowing a gale from W.N.W. with a heavy sea which was exceedingly high on the b ar, a small brig, called the Friend of New port, from Cork. was seen making for the harbour. She was afterwards observed to strike, and the sea to make a complete breach over her. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was instantly ordered out. 1 jumped into the boat myself, and was immediately followed by a volunteer crew. Alter a very hard pull we pushed through the breakers, and dropped down to the wreck before the sea. When within hailing distance we asked the crew of the vessel if they wished to avail them selves of the lifeboat, telling them at the same time that If the gale continued their ship most go to pieces. The vessel's signal of distress was still flying; but Gliding the crew would not abandon her, we remained by the vessel about as hour. During this period we suffered dreadfully. The b.leYeeee e*etieueci to roil late the lifeboat, eceicely giving us breathing time between them. Dario; is a wful time we had sax oars broken to pines. Senn that the crew would not leave the wreck we returned with three oars oaly to the s 6 which we reached with the greatest difficulty. Moat pro vi dentially the gale afterwards oousiderably abated, and the wreck drifting into a more sheltered posi tion the crew abandoned her in their own boat, and sue ceded in resnhingthe land. The brig is expected to beoome a total wreck.
