On the eamideration of the Lords' amendments to the Great Western, West Midland, and South Wales Railway Companies Amalpmetiou Bill, Mr. D. GRIFFITH moved that the house do disagree to the new clause E, enforcing a revision of tolls when ever the dividend of the united companies stock should equal or exceed 6 per cent. The hon. member objected to this interference with the general law as laid down by the 7th sad Bth Vic., o. 85, which fixed the revision minimum at 10 per sent. M Mr. MASSEY mid that the companion were Dot opposed to the clause, which bad been introduced by the Lords in the interest of the public. (Hear, hear.) The motion was, after some diemesioa, withdrawn, and the Lot is' am/w iriest. were agreed to. ▪ The Banff, Iducduff, end Turriff Extension Railway ; the Buff, Porteay, and &esthete ; the Dare Valley; the Hammersmith and (Sty ; and the Uxbridge sad Rickman,- worth Valley Bills were severally read a third time and IMF RAILWAY AND STEAMBOAT OOMPANIES. On the order for the consideration of the Great Rulers Railway (Steamboats) Company, North British Railway (Steamboats) Bill, and Morayshire Railway Bill, u amended, Mr. A. EGERTON moved that the first bill be considered this day two months. on the ground that the question of legislative amalgamation of railway and sea tauMe ought not lo be decided by a select committee, bat by the whole house after mature consideration. He contended that it had always been the policy of the house not to allow railway companies to become steam packet companies also. After some discussion, The SPEAKER thought there could be very little diffe rence of opinion with regard to the interpretation of the standing order. It was distinctly provided that no railway company should appropriate any portion of their capital to the purchasing, hiring, or prov Ming of steam-vessels unless a committee reported that there were public grounds for the measure, and stated the reasons and the facts upon which that opinion was founded. It was impartble to wine to say other conclusion than that the standing orders had not in this came been complied with, and it wee for the hones to wander in what way substantial justice would best be accomplished. They might, if they thought fit, re commit the bill, with an instruction to the committee to set forth the ground. upon which they had given their opinion ; or they might deel with the bill in any other way that they might think proper. Col. W. PATTEN expressed himself in favour of the course wonted by the Speaker, and The motive and amendment haying been withdrawn, the bill was, upon the motion of Mr. 0. Goes, ordered to be recommitted. The Montyabire Hallway Bill, Mgetber with the North British (Steembeeta) Bill, was then ordered to be recom mitted to a select committee. NOTICES OF MOTION. HOLYHEAD HARBOUR. Colonel DUNNE gave notice that to-morrow (thisalay) he would ask the noble lord at the head of the government whether it was the intention of the government to pay any attention to the report of the Holyhead committee, and that subsequently he should bring the subject before the house. THE CONSTRUCTORS OP THE NAVY. Mr. FERBAND pre notice that be should, on Mooday Beat, more for • return relative to the ages and service of the two constructors of the navy, and also with regard to the recent appointment of Mr. E. J. Reed, together with Nis qualifisations as chief constructor of the navy. CIVIL BIER VICE AND MISCELLANEOUS Eirrltit ATM . Yr. MARSH gave notice that be should, on an earl y day next seeeios, mows a resolution, that, in th e o pi n i on o f that bones, the civil service and miscellaneous estimates had been tneresaing, Were increasing, and ought to be reduced. (A laugh, and " Hear, hear.") STAFF SURGEON D. W. EATON. CONINGHAII asked the Under Secretary of State for War why Staff. Surgeon Daedalus William Eaton was dismissed while is sick leave. after 18 years' service, 10 of which were in rho East and West Indies, without any pre vious warning, with so charge unsigned, DOD w i t h "1 uPPor nullity of explanation before either a court of inquiry or court-martial; also why had not a nowt-martial been ranted, and why bad the applications for it, made by Mr. Eaton, beau ignored The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it appeared that Mr. Woe was insolvent in 1859 and bankrupt w 1862. It was the usual coons, though not the invariable practice, wham aa °facer became bankrupt and thereby avoided he pecuniary obligations, to consider such a minion unfit to hold the Queen's cosamissioa— (bear, hear)—and be was generally removed. In this case the circumstances th►t same out before the Bankruptcy Court were brought in the usual manner to the athletic:re of the Secretary of Stets for War, the late Sir G. C.

Earl de Grey had bees applied to, but be saw no reason wby Sir G. C. Leiria's order should be reversed. OOORT•NARTIAL ON CORPORAL BLAKE. Mr. CONDICHAM asked whether the sable lord would lay Iwo the table of the house the proceedings we lb* court-martial of Corporal Blake. The Marquis of HARTINCTON said the papers were not at present io England. It was unusual to present to gar lament the proceediege of regimental courts-scartial I. India. If the ending of that court-martial were correct, it would have a material bearing on the case of Colonel Crawley. Irquirias bad bean seat to India I. ascertain the luta, and for such *itemise as could give evideoce ou Colonel Crawley. trial in this country to be sent home. FACTORY CHILDREN-STEAM BOILERS. Mr. ?ERRAND asked the Secretary of State for the Borne Department whether be intended to introduce any legislative measure to place children employed in potteries and paper tube factories under the protection of the Factory Act; also, whether his attention had bees drawn to the great destruction of human life for many years by the con stant bunting of steam boilers, especially by one seer Leeds a few days !go, when ten people were killod ; and, If so, whether he Old let think that steam boilers ought to be placed adder government inspection, Mr. BRUCE said it was not the Intention of the govern ment to introduce any legislative measure with reference to those children. The seaming sod the report of the corn mission had been so recently published, that sufficient time lad not been given for their full consideration. They would be, however, considered during the recess, and then his ri g ht ho e . {now (Sir G. Om) would determine whether er not he would introduce • smavare founded upon the re commendations coliteined in the report. With respect to the bunting of boilers, DO doubt • copaideratle sacrifice of human life took plane every year from it, bet the hoe. member could hardly bare oonsidend, wham he TEE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1863. proposed to place steasi-engines under government proter. lion, what be wee asking government to do.

Inspection by government was to a considerable extent a substitatioo of government respoosibity for private responsibility; and, unless they were enabled to make a real and complete ioepectioe, it w better not to attempt it. Colonel W. PATTEN asked whether the hon. member's observations applied to the whole or part of the commis sioners' report. He alluded to that portion of the report most interesting to Lancashire. Mr. BRUCE said that his answer referred to the whole of the report. THE CASE OF THE COUNTESS DELLA dETA LORD VERNON. Mr. H. LEWIS wished to ask the Attorney-General whether the attention of the Lord Chancellor had been called to the case of the Countess Della Mete v. Lord Vernon, heard before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and to the language and demeanour of the Vice-Chancellor to the coun a 2 u and l others concerned in the case ; and if so, whether his lord ship intended to take any steps to prevent a repetition of similar promsedins. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL void—ln the absenoe of my learned friend the Attorney•Genend I have to answer the question, and perhaps the house will pardon me if I make a short statement of the circumstances to which the ques tion refers, and I hope the house will be satisfied with the statement lam about to make. The case tune on in the ordinary way before Vice-Chancellor Stuart, but before the nature of the case was explained to the court it was stated to his Honour by one of the learned counsel employed, that some young ladies, infants and wards of the court, and par ties to the suit, were not only materially interested in a pecuniary point of view, but that their reputation might be seriously affected by a discussion in open court. It is the invariable practice of the Court of Chancery to take all possible precautions for the protection of infants under its care, and it is right it should do so, with or without the consent of parties, and the practice has been indisputably established by the highest authorities. Here it was not necessary that that should b exercised on the mere authority of the Vice-Chancellor. Although one counsel did object in the first butanes and praised his objection, the learned counsel, with that good judgment and feeling which I trust ordinarily distinguishes the counsel practising in all our courts, eventually waived his opposition upon the representations made to him. (Hear, hear.) The Vice•Chaeoellor, therefore, in taking that course, acted in accordance with the usual practice ; and I am authorised by the Lord Chancellor to say that the course which was taken meets with his most thorough approval, as in all re- Tectworthy of the duty of the j udge and the character of lividual who bad to execute that duty. (Cheers.) The hon. member's question further refers to some other matters which subsequently occurred. The course then taken by the Vice-Chancellor In the discharge of his duty was very greatly misunderstood—them, howl—by some per sous concerned or not concerned in the cause. Mr. MALINS—Not concerned. (Hear, hear.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—My hon. and learned Mend, who knows the circumstances, assures me that they were not concerned in the cause, but at all events by some persona out of doors. The result wee that there ap peared acme of the journals representations of these circumstances involving the gravest imputations that could be laid to the charge of a judge—namely, that out of respect for the position of a nobleman be bad departed from the ordinary and proper course, and had, in fact, contrary to his duty, and for the reason I have stated, determined to bear the cause in private, and to shield an influential, powerful, and noble pennon from the possible exposure of eircum• stances which he desired to have cooosaled. Of course the house will understand that if any judge bad been capable of so sating, he would have been unworthy of the position which be held. (Hear, hear.) Now that charge is utterly groundless—shear, hear)—and most calumnions—(cheers)— and arose out dentin, misapprehension of the oircumstancea That imputation could not but affect the mind of a man of high honour, like Sir John Stuart. It was quite open and competent for him if be had thought fit, to deal with it as • rave contempt of court, and to have brought the parties before him. His Honour, however, did not think proper to do so ; and if in publicly adverting to those circumstances he may have been betrayed into some warmth of language, if the indignation which most have been excited in the mind of any man of honour mme to his lips, and influenced the tone of hie observation, I am quite sure it is not ne cessary for me to vindicate him in this home. (Cheers.) of amicable Tektites with Brasil. The mediation offered by the sing of Portugal for this object had been accepted by her Majesty's government, and if anything could pre- vent the =likable adjustment of the thlfereuces, :tad which he most imniestl desired, it would be the 00ofell pursued by Mr. • Sir H. CAIRNS did not think the Under• Secretary had a right to read his hon. friend a lecture on the impropriety of Introducing this subject to tke attention of the house. The question now before them was entirely different from the one under discussion the other evening. Then the house was called on to consider the circnmstances coon/etc.(' with the wreck of the Prince of Wales now the question that had been raised was the rupture which had occurred between the two governments. He hail taken no part in the former debate because he thought that the Brazilian government, though it had made considerable professions of its desire to bring to justice the persons guilty of the offence committed on the coast of Albardao, had not shown that alacrity which we were entitled to expect from it. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, though her Majesty's government had ground for Immo,. stance, he could not but think that the correspon dence had been conducted in a manlier that could not fail to lead to irritation and alienation on the part of the Brazilian government ; for no man could be expected to submit to anything so disdain ful, rude, contemptuous, and even ungentlemanly, as the tone of the English despatches. He did not think that her Majesty's government would have ventured to have acted in this way with a strong government—with France or the United States, for instance. He did not wish to see this country suffer an indignity even from a weak country, but he looked with sorrow on her Majesty's go. vernment taking such a course as they had done with a weak government like that of Brazil. Though he was of opinion that the Brazilian government were wrong with re gard to the Prince of Wales, he looked at every step taken with respect to it by her Majesty's government with regret and sorrow, and he considered that the coulee they had taken with regard to the convention was unjustifiable. The SOLICITOR•CENERAL replied to the several grounds of complaint and accusation alleged against the government by Mr. Fitzgerald, entering minutely into the ((Mails connected with each, and he then defended their conduct in the matters referred to by Sir H. Cairns growing out of the convention regarding the slave trade. Mr. HENLEY observed that all these old slave came which had been raked up in the discussion made it clear that there had been ill-blood between the parties. He blamed the comment& made by Mr. Lanrd and the Solicitor. General upon the arbitration of the King of the Belgians in the case of the officers of the Forte. He agreed with Sir FL Cairns that we bad came of complaint against the Brazilian government at the beOining ; but he thought the matter had been badly Masted. Mr. M. MILNES vindicated the conduct of Mr. Christie, contending that the papers showed that he had mimed no opportunity of coming to terms with the government of Brasil — Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE maintained that the men of the Prince of Wales's crew were not murdered on the onset of Albardao ; that there was not a tittle of evidence of their murder ; that it wee impossible foe them I. have reached the shore, and that they were, in fact, drowned. The motion of Mr. Fitzgerald was withdrawn. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. Mr. LAWSON, in moving that in the opinion of this house the laws under which lionises were granted for the sale of intoxicating liquors were eminently unsatisfactory, and deficient in power to protect the public, and therefore required immediate attention, said that the present system of licensing was condemned by all the statesmen and by the public opinion of the country, as well as by several committees which had considered the subject. It was condemned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and by the President of the Board of Trade, but in spite of all these authorities the system continued, es it has for nearly the last 30 years. There were three clause at reformers who proposed remedies for the present system—the open traders, who thought that the greater the facility for getting drunk the less drunkenness would there be; exempt these ha might include the gentlemen of the inland revenue, who thought that the only busmen, for which a man was sent into the world was to consume duty•paid liquor. (Laughter.) Then there were the regulation party, who pro. to raise the moral tone of the beer keeper. FL ° alghter.) The third party were those who proposed measures for the gradual abolition of drunkenness. During this session the Home Secretary said, in reply to a question, that he wee waiting to redeem hie pledge last year till he saw what the Liverpool Licensing Bill was going to do, and when the question was repeated afterwards, he stated that he could do nothing, as the Liverpool bill had been thrown out. (Hear, hew.) After that bill had been thrown out, a deputation from Liverpool waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer. the Home Secretary, and the President of the Poor-law Board, and they reported, as the result of the interview, that a general election was near, and, in their opinion, the government would not deal with the question, in the fear that what they did might be used for electioneering purposes against them. He asked the house to adopt the resolution, with the view of strengthening the hands of the government, and leading the way to the remedy of the enormous evil of the present system. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that at the present period of the night and of the union he did not think there was any inducement to take the steps recom mended by the hon. gentleman, neither was he prepared to accede to the justice of the hon. member's general descrip tion of the parties who were said to have agreed in denounc ing the licensing laws. A very great and - beneficial change had takes place of late years in the consumption of intoxi eating liquors, which was due in his opinion to the improve ment of the lute, habits, and morals of the people. He was quite sore that abstract resolutions were obi hectionable and delusive , and he ventured to hope his oe. friend would not be disposed to press his motion. Mr. NEWDFA3ATE thought they were very much in debted to the ban , member for bringing this subject under oonsideratiom There certainly was a general commence of opinion that SOON amendment of the licensing system was gaoled, and he was sorry to find the government hold out no prospect of taking action in the matter. Lord FERMOY could not support the resolution of his hon. friend, because he thought it would fail in spreading temperance throughout the country, although that was no doubt the laudable desire of the hon. member. The only way to render the working man temperate was to make provision for his rational amusement. Stringent laws would never have that effect. Mr. W. E. POLLSTER said be should vote for the motion although he did not agree in the special views of his boa. friend. But there was a general opinion that the licensing system was in an unsatisfactory state. There were three kinds of licenses—the spirit house, the beer license, and the wine license. The present licensing system had been condemned by the country, but as nothing could be done this session, he hoped his hon. friend would not prose his motion to • division. Sir P. O'BRIEN said the system of licensing wee not go nasally =mutable to the public. There was • general opinion that the licensing system should be under the police regulation, and should not be in the hands of the magistrates.

On the order for the consideration of the Union Rohe Aid Act Continuance Bill, Mr. CHILDERS moved the insertion of the following clause i—" That so much of the sixty.second section of the act of the fourth and fifth William IV., chapter 76, as pro vides that the aggregate amount of money expended in any one year in and about the emigration of poor person having settlements in any parish shall not exceed one-half the average yearly poor rate raised in the parish durum the three preceding years, shall be suspended during the coati• nuance of %le ant."

Bi.PAIILL said that the poison wee most deadly, arat Mr. Barber was a trader who deserved no consideration. Yr. PAGET opposed the bill, and moved that the chair- man report progress. Mr. CLIVE objected to the proposed exemption, because he did not believe that there was any one so ingenious as to have invented a poison which would kill n sparrow and would not injure a young partridge.

The Cwanni AN counted, and only 34 members being pre sent, reported the fact to the Speaker, who wanted only seven, and the house adjourned at 22 minutes to 4 o'slock. Mr. Walten', a pawnbroker, in Aldersgote-street She and the man were detained and given into euetody. but din charged the next day for want of the peaseoutor to identify the property. Ou the prceecutcr returning to town the prisoner was again apprehended, but her paramour, Gifford, has eluded the vigilance of the officers. On searching the lodgings occupied by both nearly 40/. worth of jewellery stolen on the occasion in question, and now identified by the prosecutor, was discovered. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of receiving the pro- perty knowing it to have been stolen, and sentence was respited until the next session. The oourt then adjourned to Monday, the 17th August next. CUPOLA SHIPS. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if it wu true that it was the intention of the Board of Admiralty to try the cupola ships, Royal Sovereign and Prince Albert, without any mute, at sea, or whet he r the tripod masts proposed by Captain Coles were to be adopted. Lord C. PAGET rid it was not the intention of the Board of Admiralty to fit those vessels with masts. They were intended for the dehisce of the harbour,, but in the event of their being rigged for aea-gobig purpoees temporary matte might be fitted to them. THE INDIAN BUDGET. Mr. BAZLEY asked the fiseretary of State for India when he intended bringing forward hie annual financial statement relative to India? Sir C. WOOD maid he proposed making his financial statement it possible on Thursday next. PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMMISSION. Mr. G. DUFF asked the of State for the Home Department when the commission which wee now inquiring into the public schools was likely to report! Mr. 'MUGS mid there was no immediate prospect of the report being before the house. It would, however, b• expected, be ready before the beginning of next session. CAPTAIN MELVILLE WHITE. Mr. HENNESSY asked the lJnder Seoretary of State fo Foreign Affairs what steps had been takes about the erbi tratioe in the ease of Captain Melville White? Mr. LAYARD replied that the case referred to had been aubmitted to the arbitration of the Senate of Hamburg, but it had not yet been ascertained whether the Senate would wept the office. COMMERCIAL RESTRICTIONS IN AMERICA. Mr. S. FITZGERALD gave motleys that either oa the report of supply or on the motion for going into ways and means, he intended asking the noble lord at the bead of the government a question one subject to which he bad already drawn his attention. At the close of last session he (Mr. 8. Fitzgerald) stated that the American government were in the habit of requiring hoods to be given to the exporters of goods from New York, the condition of which was that no portico of the goods exported should come into the hands of persons in the Confederate States. The noble lord then promised that the American government should be communicated with on the subject, and be saw that such a correspondence took place, and was printed in the American blue book. There war, how. ever, so allusion to it in any of the papers presented to parliament. The question he intended to ask was whether the noble lord was aware that notwith @tending his remosetranees—and contrary to treaty— the pmetice was still continued at the port of New York, and not only that, but that the consuls at British posts were instructed to refuse clearances except on the condition of such bonds being given. He should also ask the noble lord if hii attention had been called to these facts, and if so what course her Majesty's government intended to take in consequence. (Hear, hear.) THE MARGARET AND JESSIE. Mr. S. PITZGERALI) asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he had received from America any further information on the subject of the Margaret and Jsw iir7LAYARD—No ; Ido not think any further in form►tioa him been received from the United State' on the subject. BRAZIL Mr. 8. FITZGERALD called attention to the present relation@ of this country with Brasil, and to the recent rup ture of diplomatic intercourse with that government. He considered the honour and reputation of the country to be involved in the course taken by her Majesty's government, as well as the interests of both countries in their political and commercial aspects. Premising that his first com plaint against the government was that they did not initiate a proposal for an arbitration when the differences Brat oceurred, he proceeded to detail the history of these diffe rences, commenting open the course of action of the British minister. He next complained of the making of reprisals, which was tantamount, he said, to an act of war, when a alight exhibition of force would have been 'tattiest. His • third complaint had reference to the claim of compensation put forth by the government—namely, 2,360/. for cargo of the Prince of Wales, alleged to have been plunderei, whereasthe whole of the goods th a t cou ld b are reac h e d the shore were worth only 8001. He referred to other items in the demand for compensation, which he characterised as absurd and ridiculous. He then noticed the position of her Majesty's government in relation to that of Brazil sines the decision of Bing Leopold against us in the case of the alleged insult to the British navy in the matter of the officers of the Forte, and raked what they proposed to do in such ember raising circumstances. He hoped the course they took would be, patting aside that spirit of hostility which hod on several occasions inspired the government in its conduct towards that of Brasil, to adopt a course more coociliatorg and more becoming and hoeourable to the character of this country, and take the first step for the restoration of friendly relations with Brazil. He moved fora copy of the manifest of the cargo of the Prince of Wales. Mr. LAYARD said be did not clearly understand the object of Mr. Fitzgerald in briogiug forward again a subject that bad been already so much ventilated in that house and in another place. According to Mr. Fitzgerald, this country bad been dishonoured and disgraced by the cowse taken by her Majesty's government . According to him, If a British skip wee wrgelgld en 1140 C 11 0 of orEntry, it.cargo plun dered, its MIS nthiviersj,khe Ithibefftfes on the apt On airing at these arta, so d the government of the country refusing redress, her Majesty's government were to remain idle and indifferent. If the object of Mr. Fitzgerald was to embarrass her Majesty's govern ment in dealing with the Barth American States, he bad succeeded, for he (Mr. toyard) had already seen the consequences of these accusations against the government in the altered feeling of the South American States. Mr. Leyard went over the leading incident, of the dispute between the two countries, contending that Mr. Fitzgerald had not oorrectly represented the conduct of Mr. Chruitie in rel.tion to the reprisals, an act which was ems cited, be said, in the least offensive manner possible. Mr. Fitzgerald had professed a dodos for the rorestahliehasest tabu Intellignue. EQUITY COURTS.—Jazx 16. (Before Vice-Chancellor Bin P. Wood.) o. THi LAIIGHLY DOM PAMIR. This was a motion to restrain the defendants from so build ing their new hotel in Portland-place as to impede the light and air enjoyed by the plaintiff as owner of premises abut ting upon the rear of the proposed hotel. It appeared that the hotel was to be erected at a distance of 180 feet from the plaintiff's premises, and it was urged that at that distance they could have no scpreciable effect, but in reply it was pointed out that the new hotel was to be 90 feet at the least in height, and must from its magnitude form a considerable interference with the plaintiff 's rights. The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that there was a aame calling for the interference of the court, and directed the injanction to iseue. But the plaintiff mast give the usual undertaking as to damages, if he should fail to maintain his moist the Waring. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JULY 16. (Bofors the Jody Ordinary.) OICOrf V. BCOTT. 7 BYICILL JURY. After our report left yesterday, Yr. Kerslake contended that the unhappiness which had arisen between Captain Scott and his wife wee entirely owing to the influence of Mrs. Morrie, who from the first had taken a strong prejudice against her eon-in-law. He strongly censored the conduct of the respondent in instruct ing her attorney to put allegations of the roost offensive de scription into her answer, and then leaving them without making the slightest att empt to support them with evidence. A great portion of the statement she had made was incre dible, and uncorroborated by the smallest particle of inde pendent testimony. It was even contradicted by the tenour of her own lettere, and it would be denied in the most em phatic manner poeaible by the petitioner. The learned gentleman then called Captain Scott, who made • general denial of his wife's statements. . . . . - - At the omelasion of the witneeee evidence the court adjourned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Bartholentew Lowy, 19, labourer, and Michael Long, 22, labourer (brothers), who bad pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging them with assaulting Elisabeth Fitzgerald, were brought up for sentence. The Recorder said that on looking over the depositions be found that this was one of those outrages known as Irish faction fights, which must be put down by the strong ann of the law. The sentence on the prisoners WY that they be severally imprisoned and kept to hard latent for three calendar months. ----- Jana Connor and Janes Scanlan, two little urchins, who bad pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with picking pockets, were sentenced to one month'. imprison ment, and then to be kept in a Reformatory for the term of three years. Grove Jones, 28, painter, • man of respectable exterior, was indicted for stealing • coat and hat value Is., the pro perty of James Laws. The facts of this case were shortly these. The prisoner presented himself at the house of the mother of the prose cutor and engaged apartments, and having done so returned in • abort time and requested to be furnished with writing materials. The request was complied with, and the prisoner was left alone in the parlour. In • abort time be quitted the home, and was seen by Mrs. Laws running away at the top of his speed, with a boodle under hie arm. The prisoner effected his escape, when it was discovered that he had taken with him the oast and • new bat belonging to her eon, the prisoner leaving his own hat (a very old one) behind him. It appeared that three weeks afterwards the prisoner made a simikr attempt at another lodging-house, but in this instance, instead of effecting his escape, he ran into the arms of • police-constable, by whom he was secured and conveyed to the police-station. There was a former convic tion proved against the prisoner. The jury at once returned • verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to eighteen mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. John Taylor, 14, was indicted for dealing 3s. 6d., the moneys of Elizabeth Cowell, at Greenwich. The prisoner was proved to have been seen by the prose cutriz to enter her shop sad creep stealthily behind the counter, and to &hatred the money mentioned in the in dictment from the till, with which he wee absconding, when he was stopped by s poliorconstable, who happened to be pasaing at the time. The jury found the priaoner Gladly, and, a former convic tion being proved against him, he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, and then to be kept in a reformatory for the term of three years. dreAßold Logan, a tailitary-looking man of superior ap pearance, was indicted for stealing a bay gelding value 311. 10a., the property of He Pearce. Mr. Ribtog appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Collins defended the pneoote. From the opening statement of Mr. Ribton it appeared that the prisoner , who went by the name of Captain Logan, entered into a negotiation with the coachman of the prose cutor for the purchase of a pony belonging to the latter, and for which the price of 35 guineas was at fi nd demanded. Ultimately this was reduced to 30 guineas, but before com pleting the purchase the prisoner expressed a wish to ride and try the animal. and with that view directed that the pony should be brought round to his residence, No. 133, Slosinetreet, on the following morning, Monday, the Bth of June last. The request was complied with, and - the prisoner was told by the pl.:mentor's coachman that be mast either return the pony . or send a cheque for the amount agreed opal. The prisoner called at the house of the coachman. and told his wife that be highly approved of the pony, and that if her husband called upon him the next morning at 9 o'clock be would give him a cheque for the amount. The coachman accordingly coiled, and the prisoner gave him a cheque for 311. 10s. upon Meson. Stevens and Sons, foreign and colonial merchants, Cornhill, which cheque the coachman presented the same day, but was answered that there were n 1 effects. It was shown that on the same day the prisoner offered the pony for sale for 24f., and it was ultimately traced to Cambridge, where it was taken into the possession of the police, with whom it still re mained. The prisoner was apprehended just as he was about to quit his lodgings, in filosnestrest, by Police-ser geant Charles I:Iodic:le, 26 B, to whom he said that the coachman wee a stupid fellow, sod that he (prisoner) had plenty of money in the hands of Stenos and Suns, who were his banker. This closed the evidence for the prosecution. The Recorder sated Mr. Ribtou if he did not intend to call any person connected with the firm of Stevens and Son, to show whether or not the prisoner had say available funds in their hands. Mr. Ribtoo replied in the negative. The Recorder said that there was an end of the cue, and directed the jury to acquit the prisooer. The Jury ea:coedit:l4ly returned a verdict of Poi Guilty, and the prisoner was dicbarged. Williams Dowling, 14; Henry Ouohlon, 15; and Alf red Miles, 14 (the two latter of wbum surrendered in discharge of their bail), were indicted for stealing a hum, cart, two rugs, and a whip, the property of John William Vale. Mr. Platt prosecuted, sod Mr. Dickiedefeoded Dowling, soil Mr. Colinas dot ended Oughton and Niles. The circumstances of this ease were somewhat peculiar. It appeared that shout 10 o'clock in toe morning of the 11th Juoe last the prosecutor, who is an Essex farmer, drove up in his horse and cart to the corner of Wiochesterstreet, Broad•street,City, where be was accosted by the prisoner Dowling, who offered to take care of the horse and cart for him. The prosecutor cooseoted and went away, leaving his property an the cost dr of the lad Dowling, who at the time was wearing a leather apron. After a temporary absence of not more than five minutes the prosecutor returned to the spot, when to his dismay and astonishment he found that the horse, vehicle, and property had disappeared. From information he received, however, he went down at once with a City officer to klampton.court Races, and bad scarcely arrived on the course when he saw his horse and cart driven by Dowling, and with the other two prisoners riding in it. come upon the ground. The three lads were at won taken into custody, and committed by the magistrates sitting at Kingston for triel. When before the magistrates Dowling stated that he had nothing to say in answer to the charge. The prisoner Oughton, however, said that Dowling had called epee him and offered to drive him down to the non for a shilling, alleging that the cart belonged to his master ; and Miles made a similar statement The Recorder intimated his opinion that there was no ease at all against Oughton and Miles, and with regard to Dow bag the tiuestioa vies whether or not he took the horse and cart with intent to steal them, or whether he merely meant to steal a ride to the ranee. _ _ — The jury bal; intimated that they were satisfied that though the prisoner Dowling had stolen the horse and cart, be had no felonious intention. They then returned a verdict of Not Guilty in favour of all the pnaoners, who were at once discharged. Louise Gifford, 30, married, was indicted for stealing a quad' 7 of Sswillcry, the property of Solomon Reuben, and count she , e m charged with receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Collins prosecuted; sad Mr. F. H. Lewis defended the prisoner. It appeared is evidence that the prosecutor, who is a travelling jeweller, went. on the 4th lls y last, to the Mid- Kent Railway station at London-bridge, boring with him a leather bag =taping between 8004 and 9001. worth of jewellery of all descriptions. He planed the bag on the platform while he was procuring bin ticket, and on his return he found it and the whole of his property gone. On the fth May the prisoner, who was accompanied by a returoed con vict named Gifford, offered a pair of oar-ring for pledge at THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUBL Alexander. M . Say, an Irish labourer, was brought up in custody of Sergeant Adams, on remand, before the Lord Mayor, charged with a violent assault upon James Toomey.—Mr. Lewis appeared for the primmer. The assault, it appeared, took place as long as a month back, when the complainant, who is also an Irishman, wan returning to his boom in Catherine Wheel-alley, Bishops gate-street, on the night it question. He was the worse for liquor and accompanied by his wife, and according to the statement of her and her daughter, they had jut entered Catherine Wheel-alley when they were accosted by the pri soner, who said be had been looking oat for the complainant for some time past, and now be would have his life, and he immediately commenced a most violent attack upon him, knocking him down and kicking him about his head and body in a most brutal manner. He pulled out a large piece of iron from his pocket, and pushing it into Toomey's mouth, mid he would "jaw-lock" him. Complainant's wife attempted to protect her husband, when the prisoner threatened to serve her the same. Sbe however called for the polies, and the prisoner made off. The complainant was taken up in a state of insensibility and was afterwards taken to the Loa don Hospital. where it was ascertained that, in addition to scene very severe bruises about his body, his jaw was frac tured in two places, and his life was for a short time coml. doted by the house mirgeou to be in danger. He however gradually recovered, and appeared yesterday to give evi dence against the prisoner. The prisoner was committed for trial, the Lord Mayor refusing to entertain Mr. Lewis's application for bail. WOBSHLF•STREET. Eliza Webb, 24 years of age, dressed in mourning, and describing herself a tailor..., in Churchetrest, Bethnal green. wee charged before Mr. Leigh with stealing from the person of Caroline Fallon a pair of gold ear-rings, a coral necklace, end a black silk frock. The evidence showed that on the previous evening (Wed nesday) prisoner met the child while returning from school to the home of her parents, respectable tradespeople in Mile-end, and having decoyed her into the water-closet of a low dwelling stripped her of the articles mentioned. Strangely enough, an elder daughter of Mr. Fallon shortly afterwards accidentally met her sister thus denuded of the property, and the prisoner follow ing her. The child weecrying, and instantly accused the woman of taking the things, on hearing which she re turned them, and threw away another coral necklace, which a boy picked up. The maim° was subsequently mom- Mined to belong to another little girl, named Emma Frank lin, also the daughter of a tradesman in the same neighbour hood, and from the evidence adduced in the cue it wsa shown that the prisoner accosted her while leaving a grooer's shop with some purchases, took them from her, and after wards unsnapped her neck lace. In answer to the charge the prisoner said—l am desirous that the cue should be settled here, although I know nothing of the matter. Mr. Leigh—You will be imprisoned for three months in each cue, the terms to be consecutive. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PONTEFRACT AND WEST RIDING MEETING.—TiIIInaDAY.

Very little wool has changed bands, spinners &hoeing no disposition to operate with any' freedom except at a commnce, which simian were unwilling to yield. Very little new business is done in wonted yarns to-day. A larger somber of frames are employed than has been the ewe of late. The export merchants are restriction their maritime to the rupplying of their wants from stock ; they give out no DOW orders. Prices are without change. In the piece market business has been quiet the whole of the week, and today's market is of the like character. The various buyers who have been abort have wily been intent on the supply of their immedi►te wants, which, judging from appearances, have been on s very limited wale. A few order, are re ported to have been placed for France piece last Thursday. The splendid weather will no doubt give more stimulus to the country trade, and that seems to be theonly source of improvement which we have to look to until the American news becomes of a more decided character than that brought by the Bohemian, and the ultimate molt of the bottle. at Oentyaburg is known. There is no change in prices worthy of notice. _ LACE AND HOSIERY.—NorruguHAN, JULY It.— There is main no material change to notice in the condition of the lace trade. The improvement formerly reported has been well maintained, and the demand for plain nets has beau perhaps still more animated, though anything like an extensive trade is checked by the high price of yarns, which curtails proate and limits produotioe. The large hosiery houses also report that their trade bas been to about the same extent as for several weeks pest, with the addition of a little more active inquiry for most classes at goods for the Havaanaha.—Nothaphant Joaritai. 0011.N.—Etinsmiounts, JOLT io.—Wheat was about Is. per quarter cheaper. At this day's market there was a very short supply of English wheat, which was not quotably lower ; bat foreign gave way about IA per quarter. Barley rather dearer. Oats, beans, and pets firm ; a good many of the latter changed hands. Dwane, JOLT 16. —We had again • small supply of wheat, and a slow sale at last week's prams, owing probably to the fine weather for the growing corn, which looks luxuriant everywhere. Should sunshine continue, reaping will commence in the forward districts about Monday week ; but in this immediate neighbourhood, we do not anticipate that the corn will be reedy for the sickle for three weeks. Never, within the memory of man, was more really good hay made than has been made this summer. Nearly every. thing is got together in the meadows, sad • few gentle showers would be most aoceptable, both for the afterfeed and the turnips, which cut but a very sorry figure, espe cially on the hills, where they are nearly burnt up. Best red wheat, 23a. to 24x. ; inferior sorts, 17s. to 225. ; grinding barley, 30a. to 33e. ; oats, 21s. to 28s. ; beans, 20s. to 22a. ed. ; peas, 18e. to 215.; fin* flour, 37e. to 40s. ; other flour, 335. to 365. RANCHO/ITER, JOLT 16.—There was • slender attendance of buyer at this day's market, and the demand for wheat was limited to • few retail transactions, at a decline of la. per quarter on English, and 2d. per rental on foreign. Flour neglected, and 6cL per sack and barrel shaper. Oats re ceded Id. per 4.81ba., and oatmeal 6d. per load. Beans and Indian corn Arm. JULY 15. —There was a small attendance, and wnlittle wheat was shown. Inquiries were made for corn. Prices the same as late quotations. _ _ - - Nillll7lY, JULY Ig.—We bad s Mall supply of wheat, and a short attendance ; very little doing atsbout late rates. The spring corn trade slow, and very little doing. Ulieuoz, JULY I&—We have a short amity of wheat and not many samples of spring corn offering. The trade is almost at a stand still, the little doing being only for pre sent demand. Winter oats are being eat in this neighbour. hood. EDINBURGH, JULY 15.—Ai compared with last week, wheat was 2e. down on the top, and 3d. up on the aver age. Barley was L. 6d. down on the top, and 2a. Id. up on the average.
