METROPOLIS LOCAL XANAGEXENT ACTS saffriarElli BILL On the motion for the second reading of this bill, The E*rl of SHAFTESBURY presented petitions from Acton end Chertney preying that the bill might be referred toe select committee. ----- The Marquis of CLANBICARDE presented a petition from Mr. Leslie, making certain charges apunst the Metro politan Board. sad praying that they might be investigated by a committee. bill Lor d RAVENSWOBTH presented a petition airsimit the Lord EBURY said that the allegations contained in the petitions just read to their lordships bad been largely en tered into in the House of Commons. This wee a bill mood in importance to noes which bad eonse up to their lordships' house, inasmuch as it affected the personal comfort of every member of the house. It was rather late in the session to ask their lordships to cocseut to an act of upwards of 100 clauses, but he hoped to be able to convince their lordships of ire necessity. The delay which had occurred wee not due to any fault of the promoters, but to the sevens ordeal which the bill had gone through during the last three years in the House of Commons. Up to the year 1848 the municipal government of the city was in the hands of boards of sew e r , t o a d m i n i s t er which there were upwards of 100 local actg. In that year these =a of sewers were consolidated. Then they were told they had to introduce a great scheme of drainage, which was at that time before the metropolis ; they bad to raise Toomey, and to arrange with the corporation of the City. They accordingly not only ertablished a sew govern meet for the metropolis, but they did away with nearly 200 other local acts. This was effected by means of the AU of 185.5. Their next attempt was to apportion the debt for these works according to the benefits derived by the various districts. That attempt, however, only resulted io an U - '2111090 amount of dissatisfaction, which had notyet subsided. It was not to be ex that an act with powers so various should work ' forily without requiring amendment. In the year 1868 another act was mused, by which autho rity was bestowed upon government trifles security for the loan of 3,000,000 i., which wu to be levied by • rate for* year upon the inhabitants of the metropolis alone. It. present bill was merely to extend the pcov t of that act., The bill bad passed through the Hour of Commons with remarkable unanimity, and without a single division. He trusted their lordships would consent to the motion for the second reading of the bill. Lord ItAVENSWORTH opposed the bill, and recom mended that it should be post pone d until next session. It contained very arbitrary and despotic powers of taxing pro pert, for the purposes of drainage, which their lordships would do well to consider carefully before they sanctioned it. He moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Lord LLANOVER suggested that the bill be referred to • select committee. Lord RAVENSWORTH withdrew his amendment, and the bill was ordered to be referred to a select committee. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACM hr., AMENDMENT BILL The report of amendments was received. SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was re-committed, mid on the motion of Lord five/112v, some additional amendments were inserted. SUMMARY JURISDICTION (IRELAND) BILL.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—nrassDAy, JULY 17. At tie o'clock the sitting wee resumed. INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. Mr. VANSFPFART irked the Secretary of State for India el-ether his attention or that of his council bad been directed to the memorials of her Majesty 'a covenanted civiliaoa, praying for the redress of certain grievances. Sir C. WOOD said tint the memorial in question had attracted the attention of himaelf and of the members of his council. but questions of emoluments required very consider able attention, especially in tbi. OWN where the circum stances of the memorialists iu the throe presidencies were dif ferent., and their requests different, sod where there were also certain arrencemeute of a complicated character that must be gone into. He quite agreed that the cam was 00s which required action on the part of the government, and be assured Ms hon. friend that it should receive the most care ful coiraideration of the government of India. THE NORTH-WILST PROVINCES OF INDIA. . _ _ Hr. A. MILLS asked the Secretary of Slate for India whether any official informatioe bad been received by the government with rsapectFto the rumoured symptoms of disaffection in the North-West Proviocm Sir C. WOOL) had received no official information what ever upon the subject. He bad beard from private letters that there appeared to be a disposition fur some movement on the part of the Mahomedan population ; but the govern ment were aware of what was going en, and they did not consider that there was the slightest muse for ap preheosion. THE NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT IN CHINA. • Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the 1,000 sunermunentry officers, engineers, seamen, and other*, arid to be now on board her Majesty's ship L ui . itreil, under orders for Chios, were surplus to the 017 naval establiahineot in China, or were intended to vneancies ; and, in case they were surplus, how they were to be employed Lord C. PA ET replied that ehe Senspareil had been most oat with reliefs to the gunboats upon the Indian station, the time of service of a coosiderable number of the °dicers and men having expired. VOTE OF CREDIT FOR CHINA. Coastal PEEL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it was his intention to ask twiny vote of creditor account of China during the present session. He wished also to ask whether, if that were the case, any portion of the amount would be applicable to the service of the present year, and if it were not so, out of what fund the expenses not pro vided for in the estimates were to be met. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked that the right hon. gentleman had pat a question of which he had not givi. n notate, as well as that of which ha had given =Cos. nod he could °sly answer with respect to the subject to which the question on the paper referred. There was no intention to ask lb. house fur any vote of credit on accunat of China. There was au unexhausted authority rwinsiniag upon termer votes of credit of about ;MOW., aid the ax- Le7ed the year account of the vote of credit would a . as he on he bad estimitcd them in March last, about 500,0001. He was not aware that that vote would be appli cable to soy operatioos that bad taken place Mee the pacification of China. Certainly the purpose for woich it was asked was to complete thepayment on ac count of the wee with Chi ns , and speaking without the power of any minute investigation his impression was that the application must be exclusively confined to ths settle ment of that account. If the riot hon. gentleman, how ever, required further information upon that point he w give it with perfect precision on a future day. - - SLAVERY AT LAGOS. Sir F. BARING allied the Under Semler, d Slate fee the Colonies whether may otdiaaase had bees weed by the go, ersor of Logos for the registry o f slaves there ; and whether gorerameat had issued say directioas with respect to pantos' who were in a state of slavery at Lagoa at the time when it became a British poste/aloe, and if so, whether there was soy objection to laying these directions upon ; the table. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the affairs of Lagos were so new to the Colonithoflce that he was afraid he should not be able to give so mock information as the right boa. gen tleman might wish to have. But with respect to the first part of the quessioe, he had no knowledge whatever of any such ordinusee having bees issued at Lagos. With respect to the second part, no directions had been sent out on the part of the Secretary of State upon the subject of slavery, but his noble friend was fully alive to the great importance of the question, and had called for full information front the governor by the next mail. ASSAULT ON MR. PILKINGTON, Lord H. LENNOX asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any information bad reached him respecting the recent assault, in Waterloo-place, on the person of Mr. Pilkington, a member of that house, and expressed • bops that the house would indulge him for • few moments while he stated the particulars of the attack which he received front the boo. gentleman hinted. (Hear, hear.) It appeared that at one o'clock on Tuesday morning laat the 111011. member for Blackburn, having been performing his public duties, left the house, and on reaching Waterloo-place the assault took place, near the Guards' Memorial, so suddenly that he neither saw the assassin nor could recollect feeling the blow. In a state of partial insensibility he found his way to his hotel, when it was found that serious personal injuries had been inflicted upon him. His jaw bone had been much cut, there were severe contusions upon the head, and a very suspicious mark round the throat showed the medical man the nature of the garottiog instrument ap plied to that hon. gentleman in one of the most crowded thoroughfares in the metropolis. Under these cir cumstances he trusted that be should not be considered as trespassing upon the rules of the house if he asked the Home Secretary to give the house an assurance that he would put himself in communication with the Chief Com missioner of Pollee, to see that all possible steps were taken to prevent the recurrence of such attacks. (Hear.) Sir G. GREY said that directly be heard of the assault made upon the hon. member he had called for the reports from the police, and the information they gave him was very much to the same effect as the statement of the noble lord. No one witnessed the assault except those who com mitted it, end though the thorvaghfin was usually crowded at one o'clock is the morning there were very few persons there. There were five police. constables on duty upon their respective beats in the tIODIO - neighbourhood, and directly after the assault took place a person came to one of them, and told him that • man was lying upon the pavement on the east aide of Waterloo-place, not far from the Guards' Monument. The policeman immediately proceeded to the spot indicated, but found no one there, the fact being that the hon. member, though seriously injured and partly stunned by the blow, had beau able to find his way to the hotel at which be re sided. The hon. member had the most imperfect recolleo tioe of the way in which the injury occurred, and on arriving at the hotel he stated that he had met with an accident, but the particulars of it he was not able to give. lie was robbed of his watch, but not of the money which was in his pocket. It was rather singular that upon the same night, in Piccadilly, between St. James's street and the corner of Bond street, another assault almost identical in its character was committed upon Mr. Hawkins, the sou of a gentleman well known from his connection with the British Museum, and in that case also the victim was robbed of his watch , but no attempt wee made to take the money from hie pocket A policeman, who was almost ou the spot, did not see the assault committed, and Mr. Haw kios himself had only a very confused notion of what had taken place. Re (Sir G. (trey) hoped that the attack had been made in both MIS by the same person. It was im possible for policemen to be upon every spot, but &titian had been given in consequence of these occurrences. The watches in both cams had been accurately described, and it was hoped that that might lend to the discovery of the person or persons ournmittint the robberies. The object appeared to be to inflict a sudden blow so as to stun the victim, to instantly seize the watch, and at once to make off, without stopping to rifle the pockets. Directions had been given to the police. and precautions taken which be bad better not state—(hear, hear)—but which he hoped would afford better protection in future from samulta of this character, and lead to the detection of the persons committing them. (Hear, hear.) ROMAN CATHOLIC CEREMONIALS IN MONTREAL Mr. WHALLEY, in reference to an order of the 21st June, issued by the mijorgeneral commandiog at Montreal, directiag all soldiers to pay attention end respect to • Roman catholic ceremonial, called the Procession of the Host, begged to give notice of his intention to ask the Secretary at War whether such order had the sanction of the government. (" Oh, oh," and laughter.) THE INDIAN BUDGET. The house having gone into committee upon the subject of the East India Revenue accounts, Sir C. WOOD, in moving certain formal resolutions, after a few preliminary remarks, referred to the differences be tween Mr. Laing and himself on the subject of these ac- counts, expressing his regret that there should be any per sonal ingredient in these differences. H e com plained of the exreme inaccuracy of the aocounts transmitted from ' India, which, he said, had been • source of the greatest annoyance to him, and which deprived the public of the means of knowing what they had aright to know—the real stated the Indian finances. He then proceeded to show in details of figures, the alleged errors in the accounts fur nished from India for the years 186081, 1861-62, and the estimate for 1862-63, accompanied by explanations of the sources of the errors, which it is impossible to compress into • summary that would be intelligible. The result, in 1862.63, was that Mr. Laing had over estimated his surplus about 1.000,060 f, and. having remitted taxes to the amount of 725.000 f., b e h ad really & deficit of revenue in that year. Mr. Ling, he ob served, had assumed that, the cash balances in the Indian treasuries having increased, he must have a con siderable surplus revenue. Sir Charles argued that this was an untenable assumption, arid that Mr. Lines theory was erroneous. He then discussed the question as to the lass by exchange of the rupee iota sterling money in the railway accounts, being 2d. in the rupee, which loss had been omitted in the accounts sent from lodic, insisting upon the fallacy of the reasons as signed by the Ind an government for the omission. He disputed Mr. Ling's views upon the subject of the repay ment of admirals, another disturbing element ia the ac ' counts, prolamin his utter astonishment at the arguments he had employed to support and justify these views ; and he reiterated his own opinions upon the subject. Having thus cleared the ground, he proceeded to state what the finances of India really had been in the last three years :- 1860..61, revenue, 42,90.1,0001. ; charge, 48 . 9 24.0001. 110;1-62, revenue, 42,911,0001. ; charge, 43,606,0001. 1863-63, revenue, 42,971.0001. ; charge, 43.253,000/. The result showed, he observed, a eficit of revecue is each year, which he expected would disappear at the end of the present year, as we were appmechieg, he thought, • sound system of Indies Seams He stated the progress malls in public works in India ; and, with reaped to cotton, be had been informed, he said, by Sir George Clerk that the growth of cotton had considerably in creased. He was decidedly of opinion that the government ought not to interfere in this matter ; that an adequate dentand would produce an adequate supply; but all assistance seeded by cotton merchants in conducting their own transactions, he added, should be afforded. He ad verted to the changes that, bad been made in the Indian councils and the govenimental departments, end in the law tribunals in India ; to the state of the civil service ; and to the reductions in the army. He dwelt upon the good effects which bad resulted from the policy now pur sued towards the native princes of the country, and from the measures taken to create an intermediate class connected with the land between the chiefs sod the peesantry. To these measures, the merit of which was due to Lord Cenning, the government bad determined, es • proper oomplement,..to cam- out as soon as practicable throughout British Lida a permanent settlement of land tenures. Our lodise enipire, be remarked, bad suffered shock • which had left Its lesson. Our power bid been sustained by military strength ; but a source of still greater strength would be found in the attachment of the people of India. In conclusion, Sir Charles paid a warm tribute to the character and services of Lard thinning. Never was a man more severely tried. He bad every prospect of • peaceful rule when he went to India ; but that preened was rudely destroyed by the outbreak of the mutiny. Through the severest storms, however, Lord Canning held the reins of government with a calm and firm hand ; and when he had succeeded in quelling that mutiny, he succeeded in gaining the affections of all classes in that country. (Hear, hear.) Indian finance had been brought to its present state by firm yet sparing reduction, and Indian princes and native chiefs bad been conciliated. The name of Lord Canning was a tower of strength, and he (the right hon. gentleman) truped that the policy ioaugnrated by the noble lord would 'gather strength under his successor. (Hear.) The population of Banana, which was oneof themost !netted places in !Dili% bad passed • glowing resolution in pmts. of his administration. (Hear, hear.) lu conclu sion the right bon. gentleman expressed his belief that drain in Inaba bad now been placed upon a satisfactory footing, and his hope and trust that she had commenced a camas which would result in happiness to herself and benefit to bath countries. (Cheers-) Mr. H. SEYMOUR cordially concurred in the sulogium which had been paned on a great statesman who in a time of difilculty held the reins of government in ladle. With the lees of that noble lord they had also to deplore the subsequent death of Mr. Ritchie, who deserved more titan a passing word of pears.. Mr. Ling had himself suffered very severely in his health although, fortunately, he had survived ; end whatever that gentleman's short oominp might be there remained enough of good does by him duets/ his residence i n India to en title him to the,eratitode of the country. (Hear, hear.) He most say that this was • more satisfactory statement of the finances of India than they bad had for tome year put. Last year they were called on to consider • freak loan for India. This year they were told that the time for leans was paid, and the only circumstance that deprived them of complete satisfaction had been this little want of ' understanding between the secretary for India and the late finaecial secretary. He thought that the right hon. gentlemen did not sufficiently amperage the outlay of British capital ie India. The Madras Irrigation Corot:any made groat oomplaints of his treatment of them. His (Mr. Seymostr'e) view of that company was that there maid not be a better thing for India then an undertaking that paid 50 per mot. It would encourage other undertakings ; than would be no • i THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY ETENING, JULY 18, 1862. Isek of companies to lay out money in lbstlM if il b iedriTetuad that each undertakings paid high divides& He tat toted that the right hon. gentleman would encourage More than he had done the laying out British capital in India. He would thereby do more than by any other means to promote the growth of cotton in that country. Mr.SHOLLEIT admitted that great proems had been made during last year in corning to an equilibrium between the revenue and expenditure. He held that the house had not sufficient control over the financial affair, of India, and urged the repeal of that part of the Indian Government Act which prohibited members of the Indian Council from sitting in the House of Commons. It. also thought • stop should be made to the practice of raising loans for %diem the London Stock Exchange ; 43,000,00 U sterling was far more than sufficient to govern India effi ciently without extraordinary advances made in this country, and if edema's were require], he thought India was in a state now to raise them herself. He further recommended that there should be • sketch estimate of the reveille and expenditure of India at the commencement of each session, and that • distinct vote should be taken for the number of men required for the army in India. Another recommendation he would make was to deprive • the assistary of Stets and Council of Ledis from' this power of granting any farther guarantees to private colt wiles ; and he intended next session to submit a distinct motion against allowing the Secretary of State for India granting any new guarantees or extending the guarantees to existing companies without a distinct vote of the House of Oommoas in each mew Mr. OREOSON did not agree with Mr. D. Seymour that the expenses of the Indian government in this country were exorbitant, but concurred with him as to th e propelety of reducing the number of the Indian Council, and the desire bility of abolishing the clause which prohibited their sitting in the House of Commons. He thought the accounts might very well be brought up to the end of the previous year to that in which the budget was presented. He was very glad that open loans had been entirely termi nated in India, and treated that the public works would continue to progress as satisfactorily u they were stated to be progressing. Mr. VANSITTART was glad to hear that the Secretary of State had exonerated Mr. Lushiogton from all blame in reference to this budget. With regard to the differences between the right hon. gentleman Rod Mr. Laing, he knew that Mr. Laing had had great difficulties to contend with in endeavouring to effect an equalisation between the expendi ture and income, but he (Mr. Vansittsrt) had not been pre pared to join in the enthusiastic applause with which the 'adieu prelim received the announcement of • surplus of 9011,000/., which was calculated before the expiration of the year, and included ten mouths of reality and two months of conjecture. Mr. CRAWFORD thought the remark of the boo. member opposite (Mr. Senollett), that the right bon. gentleman the Secretary or India had juggled the bowie, was not entitled to weight, and was therefore undeserving of any answer. (Hear, hear.) The honourable gentleman was also entirely mistakes in his observations with regard to Indian railways. The propoeed rail ways were required to perfect our system of communication. He had listened with great attention to the statement of the right hon. gentleman, and he looked upon the account of his stewardship for the put year as satisfactory in the extreme. There had recently been rumours of dimatidac tion and disturbances in India, but, as far as he was able to form an opinion, he did not attach much importance to them. Au long as there was • connexion between Mena and India there would always be occasional rumours of ill-feeling owing to religious prejudices. With regard to cotton, he thought the government would have acted in violation of the principles of political economy if they had guaranteed a Axed prim for cotton. The inducement to the people to grow cotton was its high prim, but the price at the pressU moment was higher than it had been for the last 14 or 15 years. The native merchants of India possessed sufficient intelligent* to applauds the great demand for cotton in this conatry, and they would not be slow to bring down whatever cotton could be obtained to the different ports for shipment. Mr. A. KINNAIRD said he had also listened with grmt interest to the statement of the Secretary of Stem for I and he thought he had satisfactorily answered the annum tioos made against loin in regard to his metroveny with Mr. Laing. Though the right hon. gentleman bad said that it was necessary to maintain a large Ruropeen army is India, he was glad to hear that he relied more for the safety of our role in that country upon the goodwill of the mass of the people to whom be desired to extend the benefits of our rule. The hon. member then defended Sir Charles Trevelyan and Sir A. Cotton spinet the attacks of hon. members upon them, which, he said, were not of a charac ter that ought to have been made in that house. Colonel DICKSON thought a debt of aratitudewas due to the lion. member for I)umharlewhins for exposing a scheme for the introduction of capital into India which would not prove remunerative. Mr. BUXTON protested against an attack being made 'Too an absent man, especially oes who was so highly spoken of during his tenure in aloe as the late Governor of Madras. Colonel SYKES said that the position between the two governments was simply one of account, and the other question, that of taking credit for the Chinese money, it was not worth the discuasioo it had undergone that evening. The military expenditure was far more than was requisite. The amount of the British force now in India was far too great. The much smaller force in India when the mutiny of the native troops took place broke the neck of the mu tiny, and took Delhi before any reinforcements arrived. It was clear therefore that the much larger British force now in India was quite nuneameary. Mr. MARSH said it appeared to him that the word pce tilde tax that could have been imposed in India wan one on cotton goods. He thought that a tax on ornaments, which everybody wore in that country, would have been a muck better tax. Mr. PULLER thought it impossible not to feel with regard to Mr. Laing, who had much distinguished himself in India during the last 1$ months, that some allowance we. to be made for his feelings when he read the despatch from the Secretary of State. At the same time it was impossible for the home government not to insist on the view it took if it was to retain its authority over the government in lodic He thought that • great deal of coefusion arose from the budget which was presented being only a partial budget. It did not give a full account of all the receipt. and charges. In that state of things it wee obviously a matter of discre tion as to whether certain items should be charged to a particular account or not. Sir C. WOOD, in reply, thanked the committee for the general approval given to the statement which he had made. His hoe. friend who had just sat down renewed a portion of the discussion which be thought had been answered by himself in his first statement, and also by his hoe. friend member for Londan. He thought it better that the railway expenditure to which his hon. friend referred should be treated as extraordinary expenditure, and the releipts would also he treated as extraordinary receipts. The loss of exchange was an animal charge upon the annual revenue of the country, and a portion of the annual expenditure. In reply to his hon. end gallant friend (Colonel Sykes), be wished to say that the charge for China of course appeared in the accounts ; but it appealed in the shape of an advanoe out of the treasury of 0 .1 , - Ma. It was a mere transfer , from the treasury of Calcutta to the treasury bore, which the treasury here would pay him. That did not appear in the accounts of animal receipts and expenditure, but it ap peared in the account of the crab balances. His hon. friend asked him what be would do with the half million of money. It would be a portion of the cash balances. His hon. friend said a portion of it might be expended for public purposes in India. It might. and he had already authorised the expen diture of two large soma of money on public works—one of them the improvement of the Godavery. What he wanted to know was how the revenue and expenditure actually stood, in order that he could deal with it with certainty. He complained that there had been omitted from the charge a sum of money which every preceding government included in the public charge, and he was glad to find that no one had contravened the position he laid down. Up to the last momeet he carriedtwitro°. corresponde nce anrl bein the greatest :g ea r: regret . maintaining a point of princi ple , he had dons anything to give pent to Mr. Laing, to whose public services he was anxious to bear his willing testimony. He would further observe in reply to the remarks of the hon. member for Dumbartoe (Mr. Smollett) that the rail way works in India had bee n stopped or delayed in order that the money might be used in this country for other purposes, for there had always been large credit' for the ine of railways in tide country. In regard to the recall of Sir C. Develyan, though be deeply regretted that be had felt hinted( obliged to act as he (Sir C. Wood) had done, yet he had always in the painful performance of that duty borne testimony to the great ability and industry of that gentleman. The right hon. gentleman, in conclusion, said; he thought he had no ti ce d all the point.. which had been referred to by the hon. members, bat lie would be glad to give further explanation if it should be news miry. (Hear. hear.) The formal resolutions were then agreed to, and the house resumed. LUNACY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE, in merle; the consideration of the Lords' amendments to this bill, said that he had hoped it would have passed the House of Lords, as it bad passed the House of Commoes„ without much controversy. It all the stages up to the third reading, t ai t "d ut that stage of the bill an alteration was introduced without notice, and when most of the Snitch members bad left town, which entirely destroyed the character of the measure. The bill as it left the Rouse of Commons was a bill for continuing the board for two years, but an alteration was introduced which would completely destroy the leOlation of 1837, from the want of machinery to Garry on. he bill bad cane beck in the midst of a fire of artillery from out of dome greater than he bad ever recollected in regard to any Scotch mea sure, but he denied that any imputatiou rested upon him, or that be bad been guilty of any breach of faith. He had not been gu il ty of any breach of armagement in taking the 22nd clause out of the bill. It was pat eat after full discussion, and its omission certainly did not mope the attention of the great majority of the Scotch members. There was no understanding that he should podia a &nun repealing the provision of 1837, but (mite the reverse, He fait that he bad no other alt ernative than to move new that the Lords' amendment on this imbject should eel be agreed to. The noble and lmmted lord moved that the last amendment be not agreed to. Mt. BLACKBURN midthat anyone who wee with the noble and learned lord must acquit hint a 2: 1 1 1 ; t: tendon to mislead or a•aiv., or aay breach of trust es say side. The effect of the Lords' IL ...at was that the breed should Continue in existence as long as the act should continue. He therefore progesel. ma a mode of settling this slitter, an ameadment upon the simindinent of the Lords, to the effect that the board should continue till pezlianient should otherwise determine. The LORD ADVOCATE maid he should willingly have accepted such an amendment in committee ; but he had doubts about accepting it now that so many of the Scotch members were ►way. What he objected to was th►t the bill as It came from the Lords destroyed the machinery by which the act conkl be worked. ! Mr. CRAI7P'UItb moved the adjournment of the debate. Sir J. FILHOUSON hoped the hoc. member would not preen his motion. After Nome further oonvenation, the motion for adjourn ment was withdrawn.

JULY 17. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BPICIM O. BPICER.--SPICIAL JOLT. (Continued from yesterday's Express.) Mr. Serjeant Parry could not disguise from himself that there was probably a most unfavourable impression on the minds of the jury with regard to his client. At the same time be hoped that they would suspend their judgment till they bad beard the evidence he had to offer in reply. He then called The petitioner, who said that he was accepted the first time he proposed marriage to the respondent. At her re , quest he called on her relations. Mr. Dawson resolved him very coldly, and told him that the whole of his sister's property was already settled goo him. ishe told idioms that if her relation were asked to the wedding they probably would not come, and she therefore would not have them invited. The wedding day was fixed two or three days before. There was not an atom of truths the statement that he had thrown himself on • table or had threatened to destroy himself. As to the nag, she had given it to him early in the morning to get another like it, sod he bad forgotten to do so. He was therefor* obliged to use the old one, or go without. Had never struck the respondent in his life, or used language which could Im celled coarse. [Witmer then denied all the alleged ante of violenoe in detail] Had • fair Fraction se • 'arms at Notting-bill, where he had been about four years at the time of his marriage. Never had any debts which he was unable to pay, and as to making hie wife to get 1,5004 for him, he might as well have asked the man in the moon. Her visits to her brother sod to her solicitor, Mr. Day, completely transformed her—she became • totally different woman. She went to one or other of then once or twice • week. She used to bring beak the most scandalous mods of witness—stories that he (petitioner) kept women, sal things moot calculated to aromas the virulence of • waken against her husband. Told her that they were Infamous lies. Want with her to Mr. Day, and told him that the man was en atrocious liar that said such things of him. Mr. Day was greatly agitated. The thing had come to • crins with him ; and it was • question of whether he should retain his client in his clutches, or whether her confidence should be given to her husband. After a minute or two he got up end began • tirade to the effect that if her father court rime from his grave be would thank him (Mr. Dv) for protecting her and her child. Witmer found that his wife was perfectly fascinated by her attorney, and so wanes* left the room. Mr. Day and her brother had pat into her head that witness might turn her into the streets when he made a settlement on her. Her manners were so extraordinary that it became known in the neigh bourhood, and witness determined to leave. He therefore sold his business. One night the respondent sad her cook rang the bells and made noises with brooms for some hours. Went to Sootiaad at the respondent's desire, and was travelling there with her for about two months. When she had left him witness was naturally much est°. idshed. It was quite • mystery to him. When he found whither she had gone he sent • telegraphic message after her requesting her to be stopped on the ground that she was of unsound mind. Considered that a person aught be tem porarily of unsound mind without being positively insane. Cross-examined—All that all the witnesses had stated was utterly and totally false. (leughter.) Said that as emphatically as he had said that he never struck his wife. Had seen the placard produced, but had not directed it to he piloted. Did not know of it at the time. There was an indictment against witness for libel, sod that was the first time he saw the placard. [The placard was heeded " 50/. reward. A lady has bean seduced from her husband and her home by certain pices with the basest designs.") Did not spell "atrocious " with two "i's." It was spelt with two t's in the paper produced. That paper was not in witnees's haodwriting. Mr. Huddleston— In whose is it, then' Witness—How should I know Mr. Hoddlenton--Why, is not the signature, "Henry Spicer," yours? Winer—No. This other letter produced is in my hand. writing. Mr. Huddleston—Now take the first paper into your hand again, and tell me if you have not proved that very letter in the Court of Chancery? Witness (carefully examining the document)—l think it must be in my hand. (Laughter.) Mr. Huddlestoo—Have you any doubt about it? Witness—Not now that I have read it. I have a brother who writesalraost exactly like me. The Judge —When you lookedat it before were you doubt ful whether it was in your writing or your brother's? Witoess—No. It is several years since I wrote it, and I write very differently now. The count then adjoarned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME critOurr.-Harrow, JULY 17.

When prisoner entered the cottage be commenced taunt. ing the deceased and abusing him, as was usual whenever they met. The quarrel proceedel, and presently deceased took the bar of the door in his hand andweatjuiss the outer court, where the prisuccr stood.

Barron, of, 44, Curate-street, Mayfair, ap peared before Mr. Carrie to a etunumme ia which he was charged with aseaaltieg Daniel M`Farlane at the Interim - time! Exhibition. The assault arose oat of an attempt on the part of the defendant, who is • seasonxicket.bolder, to eater the Exhibition without putting his signature in • book, which all mama-ticket holders are required to do, before they rim the turnstile to go into the interior. Mr. Humphrey, jun., who was engaged to prosecute, skated the circumstances of the assault, which were given is evidence, and which were to the following effect : It appeared that on the 4th of July the defendant went to the ExMbition,and was about to enter by stile N 0.61, when he was asked by Knowles, one of the commiseicomairre, No. 148, foe his ticket, and was requested to rip the book whjah wee by the side of the turnstile. He said " No," and wastes. As he was going along, the complainant (Mr. Infarlaae) put sort hie arm to prevent his passage. De fendant remarked, " Yon have no right to ask me to sign." He was told that every asmouticket holder was required to rip the book, no matter what his station or rank in life. 11he &Medan' persisted M wain without signing, and on bsiag preveMed by Mr. Minim" he struck him on the Mr. Lester produced • book kept for the insertion of the signatures of all ticket-holders, and he said that there were la it the signatures of noblemea, gentlemen, kc. Several wideness having corroborated the evidence as to . the assault, Knowles, in answer to the defendant, stated that when there was a great pressure of adeon.ticket visitors, many ware allowed to pass without signing the book. By Mr. Oorrie—On the occasion alluded to there was no premarit The defendant, in reply to the charge, denied that there was any law by which anyone could refuse him admission to the Exhibition unless be placed his signature in • book. He bad been to the Exhibition twenty times without being asked to sign the book, and he WWI nut goal to do so on the 21st time. Ho told the complainant that tf he (com plainant) put his band upon him, he (defendant) would lay his hand upon him. Complainant pat his hand on his breast,and pushed him back. Defendant merely pushed him. Mr. Corrhi said the question was, had her Majesty's com missionary a right to impose the obligation upon him and all season-ticket hoiden that was regaled el defendant. lie believed they had • right to impose this reetrietios, and that they could draw up what rules and regulatiess they thought proper. The Exhibition is their property, and they can allow persons to come in or not, as they like. He (Mr. Corrie) bad no doubt that defendant had been is the Exhi bition several times without being required to put his rigor taro in • book, but that was on account of the pressure • at this time there was no pressure ; they were justified in stopping the defendant. Defendant was lined be. and two gained coda. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OP SYSTE MATIC POISONING. Yesterday Constance Wilson, alias Catharine Taylor, who steeds charged with having caused the death of Mn. Ann Atkinson b 7 poison, was again placed at the bar at the Lambeth Polioe-offioe for further examination. A second charge w also preferred against the prisoner of having in October ? 1856, caused the death of Mrs. Mary &lames by the administration of poison. Mr. Chipporliskl, as before, appeared for the prosecution, sad Mr. Neale for the defence. The medical evideeee not being ready in the first case, Mr. Chipperfield called only one wither, and then prooseded to open the second case. He stated that the late Mrs. Starnes was the widow of a pianoforte maker, residing at 27, Alfredstreet, Bedfordequare. She lived upon some property which bad been left her by her late husband, but the house being too large for her family, she let out part of it. The prisoner occupied the first Boor unrurnished, and had dose so for twelve months preceding the death. The desemed lady was of an extremely amiable and kind disposition, and the primmer had sseceedid in borrowing various sums of money from her. On the 15th of October the itecessed, who scarcely ever sawed from illams, and am than in spyexcee good health, went the residasos of Mr. Bargee, at Holloway, and asked him for the loan of 101., and obtai ned from him the loam of 91. She returned home sled took tea with her daughters and Mies Roe, who had lived with her nearly six years, and was him a member of her own family. He should all Miss Roe as a witness, and she would prove that late in the evening the prisoner came down and invited Mrs. Soames (the deceased) to take supper with her. The deceased went upstairs to the primaier's apartment., and Mies Roe and one of the deceased's daughters left the boom 27, and went to sleep at No. 13, a house also belonging to the deceased, arid also let oat in spattmenta. They baud nothing more of the deemed ant l morning, when she was found to be seriously ill, with vomiting, purging, and other violent symptoms. A medical men was called 'a and at tended the deceased. Mies Roe had only seen the demised coos on that day, but on the following day, when she de sired to see her, namely, on the Friday, the prisons, told Mies Roe that the deceased must be kept very quiet, and it would be better not to see her. The deceased died on that night, or rather betimes three or four o'clock on the Saturday morning. He (Mr. ChipperfieW) proposed to put this case on such evidence se would enable a jury to oome to a conclusion even without an analysis of the body of the deceased, for the exhumatioe of which he had received as order from the Secretary of State. He should state also that there was an inquest on the body at the time, so great were the suspicions thee entertained ; but to prevent a thoroughly searching inquiry, the prisoner represented to the daughters and ft iends of the deceased that the poor woman had taken poison, and they were thus induced to do what they could to hush up the inquiry ; and the surgeon who attended that inquest, which was held before the late Mr. Walley, would state that the post-mortem examination weer= °Deducted by himself per sonally, but by one of his pupils, who bad just open the body, looked at the viscera, sewn up the body main. which was then buried, so that there was no proper =sly= at that time. A opee mealy= was now about to be made under the order of the Secretary ef State. Ho should prove in evidence that • the prisoner herself admitted that the deceased had died from the effects of poison, and Miss Roe would prove that on the Thursday and Friday preceding the deceased's death she was in the prisoner's room, and saw on the mantel-shelf a bottle of medicine, and beside it a small phial containing a colourless liquor. She said to the =I, " What is this !' ad she replied that it was Mrs. s medicine ; and when Miss Rea further inquired why it was kept locked up in the prisooer's room, the an ▪ said that it was very particular stuff, and that she alone must administer it. The medical gentleman would be called, and would deny that be bad ever given the prisoner any such direction. On the Thursday the deceased was so ill that the doctor attended her two or three times in the course of that& , and yet the prisoner stated to inquirers that the deeeaead was getting better, sad would be all tight in • day or two. Mims Roe wished to sit up with the de ceased that night, but the prisoner declined her aid, and ' she went and slept at the house No. 13, opposite. That night a message mine across to her and the youuger daughter, who was with her, requesting them to come over, but as they were preparing to obey, a second message was seat that they need not come. lie now came to an =mu tant piece of evidence, which had been kept back at the in quest. It would be proved that after the death the psi so e, called Miss Roe into her mom and mid, "I have some thing to tell you. Mrs. fioames's is not a natural death ,• she formed 1101116 connexion with some man who promised ' her marriage sod had obtained money from her. She found she had been deceived; she had taken poison in her (the prisoner's) pr Bence on Wednesday night, and the deed was done." The prisoner ridded that there would be • letter come in a day or two from this man, and it would be all about money ; and that if the letter came ad she (Miss Roe) received it, she was to give it to her. Oo the Monday mornirig the letter did arrive, and was directed to Mrs. Soames, Alfred-street, as though that lady was still alive. That letter he would prove to be is the prisooar's handwriting. The letter was as follows : " Dear Maria,—l hope you was not • very hurt at my not being at home on Friday. I was surpr ised to hare L= in black wetted me. I can't let you have the 20 now, but if you will let me have 10 snore, I will by next Monday mime to the corner. Don't my any cf what your going to do to anybody.

Be chareful and come on Wensday, i will be there. Write by return.— Yours." - fin letter was produced at the inquest. but as the writer was not known no inquiry was set on foot with respect to it, atd an open verdiot was returned, though the inquisition was endorsed •' Suspected poison."

At old prices trade would be brisk, but the admen; asked stop buboes. Hence, staplers, who hare good stocks on bead, mindere 000teet with only a mall profit, are melting pretty freely, while, on the ogebary. throe who are not en situate, prefer to " bide their time; and sell only where they ran obtain higher rates. There is a dragging bushman doing in the yarn trade. Spinners see asking more for English yarns, but fiad a difficulty ha ob taining their prices. Meanwhile some spinners, who hams stock of wool in hand, are willing to work it up, at the eld rates, but they intimate that, when these stocks are werbeel up, prices must advance. Buyers show some anxiety to pleas their orders before this takes place. There is a good trade doles in pions.
