IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Moms:, MARCH 23. Their lordships met at Ave o'clock. Lord lixosozzasided oa the woobiack in the absence N ITION OF THE SOUTHERN STATES. Lind CAMPBELL called attention to the question of acknowledging the Southern Confederacy as an indepeodent power in connexion with other neutral states. Recognition, le contended, would take away the last hope of the North of subjugating the South, and would materially influence the Federal government in coming to an arrangement with they . opponents if three opponents ware once looked as ea an independent power by foreign nations. As precedents for this view he quoted the recognition of the United States by France, of the South American iepoblice by England, and of Portugal in 1641 by various European powers ; and urged that the neutral powers by their silence implied a belief iu the possible power of the North to subdue the Southern States, and put both parties there by in a false position. The opinions of this country and of France and Holland had been sufficiently manifested by the recut loan raised for the Confederated, while military men bad also expressed their conviction that the conquest of the South was impcesible. He referred to a variety of con. midenitioas, both moral sod material, which ought to lotto ence her Majesty's government in recognising the Southern Confederacy, and concluded by observing that it recognition were withheld the war would never be brought to an end. Lord RUSSELL eaid that if there were scything which could be justly done to end the war in America, there was not a Ogle person in the country who would Dot be but too glad of it. Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do usefully or peacefully to attain that object. It was not by offering ear good offices or mediation that this war was at present likely to be concluded. The refusal with which the late proposition of France bad been met showed that much offers would not only not be atteded to, but would provoke greater opposition on the part of the United States. He denied that the example adduced by Lord Campbell of the recognition of the United States was applicable to the case in point, for what was cited as recognition by France was nothing lees than forcible intervention. As to the cue of the South Atomic= republics, he showed that the soil of those republic was free from hostile troops at the period of their recognition, which was not yet the condition of the Confederate States, many points of whose territories were occupied by Federal troops.. The spirit of the North was as determined as ever to carry on this war, and if we stepped forward at such a moment and recognised the Southern States it would be a most unfriendly act to the United States. At preempt our ditty was to wait and stand still, and Dot to proceed to so decided and unfriendly an act es recognising the South. We had, it was true, interfered in former times in Holland, in Portugal, and Greece, but we had interfered there in behalf of the inde pendence and freedom of a great portion of mankind. In the cue of Belgium again, when the people of that coun try declared they were unable to remain under the govern ment of the King of the Netherlands, as the treaty of Vienna directed, we interfered by force, and a happy ar rangement was made, which bas contiaaed up to the pre sent time. Now, my lords, in all those instaoces, whether the wars were carried on by our ancestors or in our own times, there is nailing of which an Englishman need be ashamed. for if we have taken part in interventions, it has been en behalf of the independence, the freedom, and the welfare of great portions of mankind. (Hear, hear.) I should be sorry if there were any intervention in our time which would bear another character. I hope that will not be the case, and that no interests of our own, deeply as they pay affect the industry and well-being of is large portion of oar fellow-countrymen ' will induce as to set an example far different from that which was set us by our ancestors. But whenever we shall be called upon to interfese—may it be seldom-1 trust it will be in the cause of liberty, and to promote the freedom of mankind, ea we have hitherto dose. (Hear, hear.) With regard to this war in America, I trust we shall be permitted to follow an im partial and neutral mow. Depend upon it, it will be far better that the war should Geese by the conviction, both is the Northern and Southern States, that they never again eau happily form one community and one republic, than that a termination of hostilities should be brought about either by the advice or mediation, or interference of soy European powers. With these oorivictions, having spoken of the duty of the government at the present time, I trust that no further debate will take place this evening, (Haar.) _ _ _ Af tor• few words froea Lord Correita, which yen inaudible in the Wiry, the subject dropped.

POLAND. - - Oa the motion for going into fo ,oll .itts of su pply, Mr. HENNESSY. who bed given notice of his intention to make an inquiry of the government as to the nature of the obligations with respect to Poland involved in the treaty of Vienna, prefaced his inquiry by some observations upon the state of the insurrection in that country—of which the recent news del not lead him, he said, to take a disheartening view—and proceeded to argue that if Russia bad violated the treaty of Vienna so as to inflict injury upon the Poles and to endanger the peace of Europe, there was, superadded to the bare right to interfere (which bad been admitted by Lord Palmerston in a late debate), • moral obligation. He insisted that Russia had violated the treaty no as to entail those consequences, and that there was, therefore. a moral obligation binding the British government to interfere by diplomatic action , in concert w ith other powers. He asked, in ronclution, whether, in the opinion of the government, such moral obligation did not exist. Lord PALMERSTON—ffir, the boo. member has given notice of a question which was very short and simple, but he did not give notice of his intention to enter into • die. satiation u to the relative prospecti in Poland of the Russian army, and as to who are in resistance to that army. I will not follow him throughout that dissertation, nor say anything that will imply an opinion u to the probable re suit of that contest. Everybody has an equal means of judging upon the subject. When the boo. gentleman, on the former occasion, mooted the question as to the obligations of the treaty of Vienna, I understood him as implying that there was in the treaty of Vienna an obligation on the part of Great Britain to make war -to interfere forcibly in the affairs of Poland. My answer wu that there is no such obligation : there is • right, if you see fit to exercise it; bed there is no engage ment entered into by Greet Britain by that treaty which imposes on this country the obligation of interfering by fares to give her interpretation of the terms and arrange runts of that treaty. To that interpretation I entirely adhere. I maintain that that is the just exposi tion of the effect of that treaty. I said that where a treaty between different powers does not contain any express stipulations to guarantee ea the part of any or all of those powers any particular ar =gement established by the treaty, there is a right upon etch of the contracting partial to enforce those arrange ments if it should think fit, but there is no obligation to do so unless it is expressly stated. Bat the hoe. mem ber shifts his ground ; he talks now of moral obligations, and instead of there being • moral obligation to interfere by force of arms, be, by the quotation he has made from • despatch of mine to Lord Heytethury, @bows that tbeinterpo sition which wee then intended was a totally different matter from that which he urged on &former occasion. He quotes a despatch from myself to Lord Heytuburr, in which I say that the insurrection being over, and the Russian government having re-established its authority in Poland, ' his Majesty's government would, in fulfilment of the obligations cm ! Meted by them by the treaty of Vienna, proceed to repro seed in friendly terms to the Emperor of Russia considers ' tins as to the arrangements' which he would make on the establishment of a temporary government in Poland. That is a very different obligation from that which I understood the bon. member to argue on a former occasion. That obligation was fulfilled in the sense in which it was quoted ; because the British government did make thou friendly representations to the Emperor of Russia, urging upon him what they thought was fitting for the Emperor to do, both with regard to the obligations he had contracted by the treaty, and with regard to what was jut and right towards the Poles themselves. In that sews I accept the interpretation of the hoe. member, and when the proper time shall arrive to lay before thin boas* the papers, showing what has been done, and what is now doing, I trust the house will see that so far as there is any obligation on the part of the British government to make a friendly representation to the Emperor of Russia on behalf of the Poles, that duty has been fulfilled. Now with regard to the question as to the am =mislaid.= between the governments of France and Great Britain, with respect to the manner in which such represen tation should be made, I feel sum the house will be satisfied that it would riot be useful, even if it were fitting, that I should enter into details of what is now passing on that subject. But when the hon. member reproaches her Majesty's government, and me especially, for not having, during the Crimean war, consented to agree to a proposal, if such • Dropout bad been made, to transfer the seat of opentiona from the Crimea to Poland, I think the decision of her Majesty's government was the only rational and seasible decision that we could have come to. The war began upon • Tartish question—the war began for the pox pose of preserving Turkey from invasion and attack bylitusia. We were, in concert with the French government, engaged in securing the independence of Turnkey. The war began with a quarrel between the French and the Rimians about a Turkish matter. The French began the quarrel ; there. fare France was not the party to ask us before that security bad been attained to relinquish a common en f pm and to embark in another undertaking which was totally mean sided with the origin and cause of the war. I contend, therefore, that we acted wisely and properly in saying, " Lets soomplish what we have begun—namely, the pro tection of Turkey—and then let us see whether there is any ground for opening a fresh dispute with Russia as to other and wholly distinct matters.* I my that upon that onisaion we were justified in the come we pursued, namely, in continuing what we had begun, in stead of suspending operations in order to embark in • totally different matter. With regard to the still more early period of 1831, there were as that time considerations which in duced us to decline to enter into obligations which might had to very serious difficulties between ourselves and Rosie. We did make the representations which the hon. somber has cited, and though usfortuoately they were not ' w a ded with the effect we wished, we did all that we could diplomaticaly do; and I beg the house to bear in oiled that the boo. petleman now coalmen his interpretation of the treaty of Vienna to this—Qat we are ceder an obligation, as far as Poland is concerned. hoisted'', diplomatically on the part of the Poles. 81r, I am convinced that we have dome oar duty, and I trust that any effort we have made will be found to be attended with favourable results to the interests of the people of Poland.

The Royal Oak, 34, 800-horse Po — wer, got up steam this morning, and proceeded to the measured mile at the Maplin Sands for the purpose of testing her rate of speed. The weather, which at starting was very fair, sud denly became overcast and exceedingly hazy, rendering it impossible to make the trial. The frigate was neeordingly tried in making the circle, two of which were accomplished in 5 minutes 23 seconds and 5 minutes 6 seconds respectively. The engines during the trial worked exceedingly satidao torily, the screw making 52 revolutions per minute; pitch, 27 feet 6 inches ; diameter, 19 feet 6 inches ; load on gaiety valve, 20lb*. The trial was next made in starting and stopping the engines, which was effected in exactly 6 seconds from the order being given. At 2 o'clock the frigate dropped her anchor at the Nom, and should the weather be favourable, will resume her trials to•oacnow. COMMAND PAY OF CAVALRY REGIMENTS. Colossi NORTH moved that the boom would on the fol- ' i day resolve itself into a committee to oonsidsr of an lt=e address to be preseeted to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to give directions that the same command pay shall be granted to Akers command ing regiments at cavalry as is sow gives to officers com manding swimsuits of iefantry.

THE ARMY RSTIMATES. The house then went into a oommittee of supply upon the army estimates, resuming the conaideration of the vote of 966,3661. for manufactunng departments and materials for the manufacture of warlike stores, and of Sir H. Wil loughby's amendment, to reduce the item of 36,8711. (part at tie vote), for establishments, by 2,0001., the sum attached to the office resigned by Sir William Armstrong. After a long diecturion, in the mune of which Sir O. LEWIS expressed him intention of altering the system of inspection at the gun factories at Woolwich, engaging that the change should not exhaust the whole sum of 2,0001., the committee divided , when the amendment was negatived by 94 to 45, and the original vote was agreed to. The following vote was likewise agreed to : 838,3691. for military store establishments and expeodi. tare for warlike stores. On the vote of 810,941/. for works, buildings, and repairs at home bed abroad, Mr. BAXTER moved a reduction te the rum 'eked for fortifications in self-governed colonies of 10,0001. After a long discrossioc the committee divided upon this amendment, which was negatived by 76 to 43. The vote was then agreed to. The following yoke were Om agreed to : 172,2011. for military education. 85,4411. for surveys and topographical department. 88,1351. for miscellaneous Novices. 213,1771. for administration of the army. 23,9331. for rewards for military service. 77,7821. for pay of general officers. 464.8961. for pay of reduced sod retired officers. 172,1571. for widows' pensions sad compassionate allowances. 32,8431. for pensions and allowances to wounded officers. 33,7761. for in-pensions. 1,142,7021. for out. pensions. 144,9644 for superannuation allowances, do. 32.7861. for disembodied militia. These concluded the estimates. The report of the committee of ripply was brought up and agreed to. The Marine Mutiny BM paused through committee. The Mainly Bill was reed a third time and passed. Oe the report, certain ameedmente were nude in the Tobacco Duties Bill. The house then, in committee, reamed the consideration of the claws of the Telegraphs Bill, but little program was made when the chairman was ordered to report p Sir R. PEEL, in moving the second reading of ther°l4artodri patios (Ireland) Bill, explained its object and provink"ati te make meeination compulsory, adm it the law of Ire land to that of England. After some discussion, in which objection" to the bill were urged by Mr. Bagwell, Sir R. Grogan, Colonel Desna, and Load Naas, a motion was made to adjourn the debate, which was negatived upon a division ; but ultimately the debate wee adjourned. The remaining business having been diaposed 01, the hove adjourned at 10 minutes past 1.

The show of bulldogs is peculiarly good, both as regard. number and quality, decidedly the beet specimens being those ex hibited by Mr. Brown, of Hampstead-road, who, as one of the judges, is excluded from the competition. At the pri vate view yesterday there was a very crowded and a very fashionable attendance. We shall probably be enabled to give an mourate list of the principal prime to-morrow. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE. The towing-path at Putney was visited yesterday afternoon by about 200 persona, who were anxious to catch a glimpse of the two crews in their first trial on London water. The light blues were the first to make their appearance, and at four o'clock started from the aqueduct bridge to row over the comae, which they did at a merry pace, averaging a rate of 36 strokes per minute up to the Point, which was reached by them in two minutes 55 seconds. At 25 minutes past four the dark blue' proceeded for • row over the course. Their strokes were much longer than the Cantabe',lbut did not average more than 33 strokes per minute, Their time to the Point was two minutes 59 seconds. It is uncertain at present whether Mr. Hoare will row in his crew on the day, owing to a domestic affliction. The Cambridge crew have, besides the boats built by Salter, one of Searle s eight oared boats, which they will try this afternoon. The betting is now even, the light blues having a slight call.

EMANCIPATION MEETING AT WOOLWICH. Last night a numerously attended public meet ing. et the inhabitants of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plum stead was held at the Library Institution, Nelson-street, Woolwich, to express sympathy with the President and government of the Northern States of America, as to their recent policy for the abolition of slavery. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. P. Jackson, who expressed his convic tion that it was the ditty of every free-born Briton to sup port the abolition policy of President Lincoln, and those who opposed that policy could not well be coasidered as opponents to the named system of slavery. Mr. B. C. Wake moved the first resolution—" That this meeting, fully believing that freedom is the birthright of every man, whatever may be hi colour, race, or creed—believing that every man has a right to sell hi labour in the best market he can find for it, and to preserve his conjugal and parental relations sacred and inviolate— I desires to express its sympathy with the anti-slavery movement in the United States, and its cordial approval of the abolition and emancipatory policy of their present go vernment." The speaker at eine length contended that the present struggle in America was intimately connected with the question of alavery,and every true lover of freedom must ardently desire the mimes of the North.—The Rev. C. Denison, chaplain of the George Griswold, seconded the mo tion, which having been spoken to by the Rev. Sella Martin, was carried. Mr. R. Rein moved the second resolution, "That this meeting views with the utmost abhorrence, as an offence alike against God and man, the efforts now being made by a section of the American people to establish a separate nation upon the basis of slavery, and expresses its conviction that the government of the United States is doing its duty in reprising their rebellion, and deserves the warmest sympathy of every lover of freedom." The motion was seconded by the Rev. J. Teals, of Quail-street Chapel, Woolwich, supported by the Rev. J. H. *bums, of Westminster, and adopted. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. W. Wilke, Padyharn, and others, sod the follow. lag resolutions were carried amidst applause :—" That this meeting expresses its concurrence in the principles of nos intervention by the British government in this contest ; but consider that more vigilance should be exercised in enforcing the neutrality laws, especially as regards the building of war ships for the Confederates. That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to the American Minister in London, and to the maabers Inc this borough." ORDNANCE COIENITTNIL —The select committee appointed to inquire into the expenditure incurred dime the beginnieg of 1868 on various matters of improved ordnance, and into the results obtained by such expenditure, again met yesterday. Mr. Moeeell presided. The other mem bers present were Sir G. C. Lewis, General Peel, and Mr. Bering. The witnemes examined ware Mr. Anderson. super intendent of the manufactory at Woolwich, and Colonel Boner. THE MUTINY AT BLAClWALL.—Yeeterday Mr. J. Humphreys, coroner. commenced an investigation at the Town-hall, High-atreet, Poplar, into the circumstances of the collision between the moldiers and sailors of the Peruvian corvette Arica, on Friday morning leak by which Francisco Callejas, Simon Garcia, and Pablo Vasquez, soldiers in the service of the Peruvian government, lost their lives. The jury having been sworn in, proceeded to view the bodies of the three deceased, who were fine stalwart men. Vuquez had • bayonet wound through the upper lip, and the back of his head hail been dreadfully injured by a blow from • clubbed musket. Garcia had been killed, apparently, by bayonet wounds on the bead, sod Conejo*, who expired on Sunday, had • fearful stab in the side. It wasremarked that each of the men had an almost tranquil expression of countenance. A gentleman from the office of the Peruvian ministry attended to watch the proceedings. The evidence elicited from the officers of the Arica (who were sworn, at their request, *Pon the hilts of their swords) showed that the accounts hitherto published were not at all of an exag gerated nature, and it is quite clear that the outbreak was a meditated one, a number of arms having been previously stolen from the armoury and secreted. It appeared that by permission of Ensign Udall (who has lost his life) several bottles of spirits were taken as board on Friday night ; that after the usual hour for the men to retire to rest some of the 'oldies' were found, with lights, playing cards and quarrelling; that one of the officers remonstrating with them oa their breach of regulations, the men seized their arms and called to cthers of their body, who joined them, and the some we have before described took place. Several witnesses were examined yesterday, and the inquiry having been pursued to coosiderable length, wee then adjourned to give time to the officers to produce such further evidence as they might be able to obtain. Yesterday named Emanuel Muecham was charged before Mr. Wool rych at the Thames Police Court with feloniously cutting and wounding Juan de Matto Mango, one of the soldiers, who received a painful wound on the bead with the butt end of a musket. He was unable to leave his bed on board the Venus bulk, but an officer had taken the prisoner to his bedside in compauy with an interpreter, and Mango pointed out Muratori as the person who bad wounded him The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow. SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZEIL—The commission for the South I,ancesbire Aiiil6ll was opened yesterday before Mr. Baron Martin (in the Crows Court) and Mr. Justice Keating (Nisi Prins Court). There are 112 prisoners for trial, but none of the cases are of • very serious ohs raster. In his charge to the grand jury, Mr. Baron Martin remarked that he was happy to state that the calendar for i this division of the county of Lanimeter, with the exception of • few cases, was of • light character. It was oad certainly remarkable, co ering the county had suffered so much ,• from the unfortunate state of the cotton trade, that mimes against property were lees serious and less numerous than he bed before seen. There were three oases of assess against property of an extraordinary character, but they bad no counexioo whatever with the distress. One was the robbery of 1,0664 from the Bank of Manchester, which, from the ingenuity displayed by the perpetrators, was evi , dandy the work of practised haods. There was another ' case (Mn. Jessie Black for the theft of rings at the Ful wood Birreeks) which, from the position in life which the lady occupied, was of a very serious character. In • case in which a man gamed Charlton was charged with the . manslaughter of • woman, in tionsuence of his alleged negligence in not repairing a wall, his lordship directed the grand jury to ignore the hill, ea the prisoner was not the owner of the wan, and could not be held responsible for its condition. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT friermente..—A fatal accident took place at the °raga-lane station of the London , • and North Western Railway yesterday morning. A number of butchers usually go doom by the &Wean. train to Liver . pool oa Mondays, and • separate causer, is usually attached for their convenience at °Tamil-lane. This carriage had been , placed on the level messing, and, contrary to the usual ! custom, before being drawn to the platform the butchers ! clambered into it just at the moment that a van was being drawn along the Hoe to be attached to the train. Un fortunately. the of the butchers, Mr. John Nivea, jun., was kwicked down by the van, and the wheels went over his j lege. He was removed to the infirmary, where he died in the comas of the asarakag. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. la -MONDAY. Settling upon the peat week's accounts at Damara and Warwick occupied the attention of the members present until quite a late period of the afternoon. 5p801166011 upon coming events wu tame and unimportant to a degree, and considering that it was just on the eve of the Northampton meeting, the betting on the events to be decided there was remarkably dull. It was not until quite late that any demonstration was made, but towards the break up three or four moves wars made upon the Northamptonshire ! which infused a little vita lity into the proceedings. Kmitsford was surprisingly firm, and having been heavily supported in the City during the morning at 100 to 30, no more than 3to 1 could be obtained about him on assembling at Hyde-park-comer. At first no more than 5 tel 1 was offered against Orinuton, but he was by no means so healthy as his friends could have wished, and finally the odds were laid against him to several hundred pounds at 7 and 8 to 1, the last-mentioned price being accepted up to the close, the layers still offering to go on. The decided features of the afternoon's transactions were the advance of brother to Springbok and Fairwater. Con cerning the first-mentioned, some comrnissioos ware out early in the morning, and he was supported so freely at the Cor sa thatat the close no more than 9 to 1 could be obtained about him. Fairwater wu also one that was early inquired after, and such wu the evident anxiety to invest in her favour, that lessening prior were invested until she reached 12 to lat the close. Man-at-Arms was under a cloud, and divers rumours were afloat about him, an offer being made to bet 501. even that he did not go to the post. Nobody, however, ventured to take a liberty with him, until just before the break-up of the room, when the murder was let out. After a little by-play he was put up, and a few 100's to 6 having been offered, one operator 27:1fire in earnest, and laid 100 to 2, and even 1, which odds were snapped up by those who wished if possible to arrest his downward tendency. Ultimately he rallied a little, but his case nevertheless seemed hope less, as 25 to 1 was offered in vain to the end of the chapter. Several were backed for the Spencer Plate. Lord Stam ford's filly, Flying Fish, had come a " hot 'tin " in the City during the morning, where as little as 4 to 1 was accepted about her, and at the Corner she was supported with renewed vigour at 100 to 30, and even 3 to 1 was taken in certain retinae. Biondella, Argonaut, and Heat were next in demand at their quoted figures, and received fair support, and to very good money. Lady Clifden was backed with great spirit at 20 to 1, and finally 100 to 6 mu the highest offer against the top-weight. For the Two Thousand 5 to 2 was the highest offer against Hospodar, who would have been sup ported at 3to 1, but layers seemed disinclined to spring half a point. fisocharometer was backed for 1801. at sto 1, but the same odds were offered up to the dose. The Derby betting presented no fresh features. 6to 1 was the currant price of the favourite, and there was an evidently growing disposition is favour of Hospodar, about whom 1 , 200 to 100 WM booked once. National Guard and Automaton were backed at 25 tel 1 each, sad although 28 to 1 was laid ones or twice about Watson's horse, the quotation given below represents his trite price.

The bankrupt was described as a oommiesimi agent, of Islington. Tais was the examination sitting, being the fourth adjoarnmeat. The debts are about 3,0001. Kr. E. Reed, for the aasipees, stated that revisiting, had been made to the bankrupt, but instead of answering them, he had left the cotuitry. He bad bees bankrupt so recently as May last, between that time and August last he bad contracted fresh debts of MOW. or 4,0001., by purcha sing wines under very extraordinary circumstances, and bad than come again to the court. His Honour directed an adjournment sine die. IN 8g DANIZI. 31/TCIINLI. DAVIDSON. - - The bankrupt was formerly a member of the firm of Davidson end Gordon, colonial brokers, of Mincinglane. who failed se loog ago as June, 1854, and whose certificates were wholly refused in January, 1889. He now applied for an order of discharge, under the 160th sec.!of the new act, which allows bankrupts to do so after the lapse of three years from the refusal of the aortic cafe. His Honour, after referring to the terms of the section, said he would begin by asking the assigoees—who had been eo very active in this matter, and who had conducted the case so entirely to the satisfaction of everybody concerned — what they had toes, to this application. Mr. Linklater, who appeared for the assiguees, stated the circumstance' of the ease. Thehaokrupts had been con victed, and had suffered two years' unpiteoument with hard labour. Mr. Beddoe, one of the assignees. had not the slightest wish to oppose the granting of the discharge, nor had Mr. Hesse, the other &advise ; but Mr. Wlfillan, • creditor residing in Scotland, wished to oppose. Personally be (Mr. Linklater) should be sorry to be the means of Mr. Davidson's application being refused, but it was his bounden duty to take up the opposition of Mr. M'Millan. Only two cases of this kind bad gooe to the Court of Appeal - three of Mathieson, of Liverpool, and Gibson, of St. Albans ; the court, in the absence of opposition by creditors, did not express any opinion on Gibson's case ; and in Mathiceon's, there was no evidence of any offence under the new act. His Honour said that this case, if brought at all within the new act, must be brought under the clean by which bankrupts might be indicted ; and he could not order the bankrupt to be indicted again for an offence for which he had already been indicted and had suffered imprisonment. Mr. Lioklater said the court was still at liberty to enter tain the charge against the bankrupt of having obtained goods within three months of his bankruptcy, under the false colour and pretence of carrying on business. His Honour was of opinion that when a man had been convicted and had suffered imprisonment the offence was gone. Mr. Bristowe said be appeared to oppose on behalf of the parties who were contingently entitled to a certain fund to !which the bankrupt would be entitled if he got his order of disc M b r tgley, for the bankrupt, objected to Mr. Bristow' being beard. His Honour said the learned gentleman could not be heard unless he appeared for 100111 creditor. Mr. Bristowe contended that there was nothing is the act of 1861 to confine opposition to creditors. Proceedings were now going on in Chancery with reference to the fund in question ; and it was important to show that the facts bad been brought before his Honour previous to the order of discharge being granted. Ilia Honour said he was much obliged to Mr. Linklater for the great pales he had taken in the case. A bankrupt could only be opposed by creditors, or by the aniguees re presenting creditors ; and it was entirely new for person. to seek to oppose who were not only not creditors, but did not even seek to prove, and who merely alleged that there was a contingent interest somewhere or somehow, which might possibly be a ff ected by the granting of the bankrupt's dis charge. The court could not Eaten to the opposition of the learned gentleman. The court ought not to do more than hear the opposition of the petitioning creditor. Lord J amnia Turner had laid it down, in Mathieson's case, that the court ought to be governed by the particular circumstances of each case, and that the offences specified under the 256th section of the old act were in a manner blotted out and could not be cooeidered. The court must look at the case under the new act, and ask itself whether, regard being had to the offences specified in that act, this man bad nut suffered enough already. For the offence of not surrender ing to his bankruptcy, the bankrupt had been in dicted and acquittal; therefore if the court ordered him to be indicted again for that, be would have nothing to do but to plead autrefois acquit. There was soother offence of which he had certainly been guilty, that of obtaining goods within three months of his bank ruptcy, under the fides colour and pretsoce of carrying on Wide with intent to defraud his creditors. But of that be bad been convicted, and had suffered a vlbry severe sentence —Dot more thin he deserved—that of two years imprison ment with hard labour. If any principle of law was more clear than another it was this—that where a man had been indicted and had suffered a full punishment the offence was blotted out, and be was absolved from its coesequeoces. Therefore there was notbiog for the court to act upon. The bankrupt had been without his certificate or discharge since Jane, 18.54 ; he had been pursued through Europe as a felon, brought back to this country, kept is primp eight moneys before his triaLsantesoed to two years penal ser vitude ; and nobody could say that such • punishment war sot quite sufficient. Mr. Linklater had expressed • hope that tbe time might come when the bankrupts might yet redeem their character,. The court entertained the same hope, particularly with regard to Davidson, is whose case there were some circumstances which did not exist in the other, and to give him the opportunity of making amends for the put by his conduct in the future, the court would now award him his discharge. MIDDLESEX SESSION& John Rose, 31, deecribed as a musician, was indicted for stealing a purse and the sum of IL. 4d., the property and monies of William Sentence, from the person of Carelise Sentence, in the Strand, on the day of the marriage of the Prime of Wake. The jury found the prisoner Lockyer, the officer of the Mouse of Correction, Coldbath- Gelds, said the prisoner was a ticket-of-leave man, his last sentence being penal servitude for 3 years, which term it meant was unexpired. Before that he had been convicted, and was well known as • thief. Mr. Payne, in passing sentence, said there was only one way to deal with such people as the prisoner ; and in the interest of the public, as the prisoner haditalready been sen tenced to penal servitude and liberated before the expiration of that sentence with a ticket of keys, it was hie duty to par upon hint au exemplary sentence, which was that he be kept in panel servitude for the space of ten years. Rdward Smith, 23, was indicted for stealing a piece of bacon, value 50., the property of John Maywood, a chand ler's shop keeper. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. It was then proved that the prisoner was convicted of burglary at the Central Crimioal Court in 1839, and see toured to be kept in penal servitude for four yeers, and that he was liberated with a ticket of leave. There had been several previous convictions against him. Mr. Payne, after remarking that this was another cue of a prisoner being liberated with a ticket of leave before the expiration of the former sentence, ordered the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for 10 years.

On Saturday he came to our house sod asked for something to eat. We did not choose to give it to him, and he made arow. With the help of a constable we got him away. About an hour alter he came back and got in through the window. We bad a quarrel and he stabbed me with a knife. (A pocket-knife was here produced by the constable.) Tbat is the knife. It went through my clothes and cut me in the side. Hargraves, 167 F, took the priaoner in custody. The surgeon at the hospital said the wound was not serious, though it would have been so but that the rib stopped the knife and prevented it from penetrating deeper. The prisoner, who said be was so excited he hardly knew what he wu doing, was remanded for further examination. mißLßoaouowerßEET.
