ACY iSOOILA.ND) BILL tag l* The C.Mmer almendments to the Lords' amendments were mistimed si agreed to. THE INDEMNITY BILL. has till was read a second time. THE nIRMES EMBANKMENT BILL. Lord WYNEGRD presented a petition from the parish of St. James, V) ter, in favour of the bill as it stood. The noble lord eala he did not agree with the prayer of the petition. . .• ' Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY , in moving the second reading. said that ell former measures introduced for the embanking of the Thames had fallen to the gram& He hoped the present measure would meet With a better fate, mil that is OM 'MUD of a few years the river Thames would be as ninclilln object of beauty and pleasure to tra relive alesepite-hasks nit bad hems maturies ago. The Doke of BUCCLEUCH mid that under ordiaary ' Mrciunstmeeellis should not ham troubled their lordships with any eliservatioos, and he only did so now in conse quence of thi most unfair manner in which his name hail been paraded in the other house of parliament and before the public, in connection with the embankment of the Thames. (lielaVldear.) He was not going to make any opposition to the second reading of the bill, and he might say that he had never offered any opposition to the scheme for the embankment of the Thames. So far as regarded the attacks ppm him in the ne he cared not • Teething about them, or w ether they were written by - egte party or another, or whether written by a person in tbeiliabit of writing anonymous letters to the papers or not • (Hear, hear.) He would further ob serve that he offered no obstructive opposition to the passing of the MIL and he would admit that the question of the embankmeet of the Thames was one of peat im portance to the public. and that the relief of the public streets was also of. great importance, though he did not agree with the manner in which it was proposed to be carried out. When the question of passage from the City along the Strand to the West-end was considered, it was a disgrace to the metropolis that there were only three free bridges over the river. If the other bridges bad been made tree the traffic through*the City would have been greatly relieved. and London would have been brought clone to Westminster. For thu other homes arid himself he would repeat that they never intended to offer any obatruction to the carrying out of this great imnrovement as recommended by the com missioners. He *might have called the attention of the house to the matter ' • but when he found that in the other boom of parliament the decision of their select committee had been overrated, and by a considerable majority it had been settled that to the public neceasity all private interests must give way, he hail nothing more to do than to bow to that decision. (Hear, bear.) He would only may that his observations before the select com mittee had _been misunderstood by the shorthand writer, but that was the first opportunity he had had of offering any explanation, and he thanked their lordships for having so patiently listened to him. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY had always thought that the grad merit of an embankment was that it should be perfectly leveLdsut if be uodorstood anything of the plan of this work, the read was to rise rapidly before it reached the bridge, to • height, he believed, of no lea than 11 feet —an elevation whiqh would render necemary the protection of a retaiutig wall abutting on the river and against the bridge, which he conceived would have a very disagreeable effect. The HMO* of Commons, however. and her Majrety's government haddeaided on adopting that plan, and he ap prehended that (heir lordships would not offer to it any opposition. -Al thif swine time he was sure they would one and all do jambe teo the temperate manner in which his noble friend had come forward and stated not only that he would offer no opposition to the scheme, but that he was perfectly ready tarmake any sacrifice of his private inte rest to the public aonv.nience. (Hear, bear.) When people looked hack at the whole of those proceediop he thought they would see that his noble friend had had but scant justice dealt out to him, and that bodes/mid not the obloquy tliat bred been cast upon him, but the gratitude of the public for the freak and temperate manner in which be hail stated Itts . 'view, and abandoned his own interests for the Nike of promoting that which was considered as the public advantage. (Hear, hear.) • " - his mOtiob. Mr. COLLINS expressed • similar hope, considering Se late period of the mission. Mr. HAD/MILD asked the rams of those companies be 'kith the hoax. gentkman had referred ? Mr. CORBETT said they were the Myth and Tyne, the Great Western, the Latemshire and Yorkshire, the London and North Western, the Manchester and Sheffield, the I Mid/and, and the South Yorkshire Companies. He would went to the suggestion of the right hon. gentleman. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT. Sir G. BOWYER roes to move for • select committee to inquire into the grievances alleged to exist and oomplained of by persons employed in this department. Not only were the Post-oflim servants underpaid but they were overworked. He had no doubt that many of the complaints which were made of inefficiency were really due to this cause. At the present period of the session be would not press his motion for • committee, bet early next year he would renew the subject. There was °sly one other point which he wished to mention. No one could deny the existence of very great discontent in the Post-office. Why did it exist? There had been already three government commisaions to inquire into the muses of it. Then why did not the government publish the report of the last commission ? There was as much dis content now in the department as ever, and he hoped the right hon. gentleman would lay the report of the commis. sloe on the table. The public had • ngbt to know what ' had been dope, and why other things had not been done. Mr. COX seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he understood his bon. and learned friend did not intend to press his motion, and he thought he had exercised a wise discretion in so doing, for considering the lateness of the session, it could not fad to be null and fatal so far as his hoe. friend was concerned. At the sone time, if his I hon. hired bad pressed the mollies, he (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) must have felt it his duty to offer to it the most determined resistance, as being of • character most dangerous, not only as respected the Post-office department, but the whole public service. His hon. friend asked why there was any discontent? His hon. friend could answer that question better than any man in that hones. There always would be discontent in • department where they could lied gentlemen of ability sad character willing to take a parti san view of the case, and encouraging them to make higher deemed@ for their labour. He could sot blame these men for bang dincootented when they believed they were underpaid. He bad no hope that his boo. friend would be influenced by anything he (the Chancellor of Exchequer) could say: but he hoped other hon. members would consider their re sponsibility when they lent the weight of their mfluenoe to inflame the minds of those who were employed in the public service. He was bound to say it would be impossible far any government to conduct the public service if that system were permitted. If they told these bodies of men, who were so numerous as to constitute armies rather than department', that they were underpaid, overworked, and ill-used, it was more than could be expected from human nature that they would not become discontented. His honourable friend had complained that the Post office was kept up for the porpoise of public revenue. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) thought it was rather hard upon the public and u the department, after the Post-o ffi ce had sacrificed near lythe whole of its revenue (and he believed there never was • wiser measure —(bear, peer) —or one which contributed more to the public good), that it should be said that the Post -office bad been kept up in soy extensive or exaggerated degree for the pur poets of revenue. His hon. friend had asked for the pro duction of the report of the commission. That report he (the Chanoellor of the Exchequer) felt it would be inconsis tent with his duty to produce. In the year 1860, that ad mirable public servant, Sir Rowland Hill, perhaps the most distinguished public servant that the British public service could boast, in consequence of the heavy burden and !melee) , of bis labours, was stricken with dan gerous illness. In his absence this question arose, and it became necessary to alibi the aid of other gentlemen from the Post-ollice and the Treasury. They lent the govern ment their aid ; and it was found that these gentlemen did not exaet:y concur in the measures which should be taken. What, he would ask, dkl, the executive government exist for, if not, io order that, having taken the advice of the ablest men, they might upon their responsibility decide upon the merits of the cam? That bad been done. The Postmaster-General had oome to • decision which was decededly liberal to the men. At first they were employed at a salary of 20s. a week, with two suits of uniform, having medical advice and attendance tree. From this they rose to the class of letteroarriers with 30s. • week—still retain big their two suits of uniform, and the advantage of medical attendance. Their pensions also became secure after a cer tain number of years. In estimating the pay of these men, that of the ordinary Bntish labourer should be taken into eoesideration. Why should his boo. friend not take up the tees of the police? It might be said that half their lives they spent in the streets at night, remising only 19s. • week and upwards. From letter-carriers they be came sorters, with salaries of from 40s. to 50s. • weak. In was the duty of the department to see that they were not overworked; and he believed, as • rule, this was sot the cue. There might he an occasional temporary excess here and there. Then bis Earl GRANiILI:E said nothing could be more straightfor ward and hoot amble than the way in which tits noble duke had accepted the determination of the otter house, and ab stained from endangering a useful awl important public measure by offering it any %.position. (Hear, hair.) Lords Mahnesberh BAfftedalor lad LlAnover having made some remarks. The bill was read a second time. JAMAICA LOAN (SETTLEMENT) BILL The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in moving the second read ing of this bill, said that it was introduced to effect two very important objects—one to provide a certain food by wbmch measures of importance of a local character might be carried into effete at the discretion of the governor, end which it was often found extremely difficult to induce those who had the command of the bosoms of Jamaica to carry co—the other to render the position of the governor independent of them who voted the supplies. The bill was marks second time. MERCHANDISE MARK.S BILL. This tall wen redo second time. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ARRANGEMENT BILL. This UM was read a second time. WINDSOR CASTLE (BAKEHOUSE) BILL. This 13111 was reads second time. PIER AND HARBOUR ORDERS CONFIRMATION BILL This bill mu read a third time sad pawed. INCLOSURE BILL This bill was geed a third time and passed. INDUSTRIAL AZD PROVIDENT SOCIETIES BILL This bill was read a third time and passed. The Council 'of 'Medical Education Bill was read a third time and pealed. ' The Parochial %Mega, ko. (Sootland), Bill passed through committee, and was reported. Their lordships edfoureed shortly after seven o'clock. hon. friend said that auxiliary Inner-carriers were employed at at 10s. a wk. But his hoe. friend knew very well that they were employed at this rate only for • few hours a day. It his hoe, friend were at any future time to persevere with his motioo, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was quite reedy to enter into details, and to show that nothing could be more unfortunate than for the house to accede to the motion which his boo. friend had made. He trusted at any rate that the House of Commons would not take this matter into their own hands, but leave it with the executive go vernment ; and then, if they found the government to blame, throw the hle,ne upon the executive. (Hear.) Illr. 00X said it was no &Dower to the grievance to gay that there were plenty of parlous ready to enter the Poet, Mike. He believed that whilst the duties of the letter carriers had increased, their remuneration bad diminished. Sir S. NORTHCOTE would appeal to his boo. friend not to press the subject any further. It would be better to leave the matter in the hands of the government. With regard to the other point, tho amount of wages, it required um, attention and revision. He thought that when a man was raised to a higher class in the service he should not be compelled to receive a lower eatery at the con meuement of the new service. (Hear.) Sir G. BOWYER begged leave to withdraw bis motion. According to the argument of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, no grievance existed at all, and the right hon. gentle- Mee made out that letter-carriers were the coat favoured class of all public servants, and better paid than the Chan. cellar of the Exchequer bin,self. There were, however, grievances, or there would not have been a commission to inquue into them. (Hear.) The motion was withdrawn. THE DISTItP IN LANCASHIRE. Mr. VILLIEIIS then rose to ask leave to bring in a bill in the terms indicated on the notice paper, viz., to enable boards of guardians in certain counties in England to meet any extraordinary demands for relief upon them. The right how. gentleman said it was not with a view of any immediate action that he asked the hones to legislate now, nor did he wish to imply that the law was not perfectly ; adequate to meet the emergency which bad arisen. But it seemed to him that in such • case it would, perhaps, be wise to err on the side of excessive caution rather than to _ HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TVESDAY, JULY 22. The house resumed st 6 o'clock. GRANTS COOKING APPARATUS. General LLNDSAY rose to move that it was tbe opinion of the house that the services which Cap tain Great bad rendered to the public by the economy and improveineet which he had introduced into the system of held and permanent cooking in the army, and by his invention of the ambulatory cooking apparatus, were entitled to recognition. He (General Lindsay) thon 4 he that two-thirds of one year's ascertained saving' in the consumption of fuel by the invention would be a fair andliberal remuneration. He had no hesi tation ie assertiug,. en the pert or Captain Grant, that if the system were carried out properly in the army there would Tw a saving of 50.0001. a year. In the army that gallant (Seer was lookefinpon as a great benefactor to the service. and his ambulatory system, if adopted, would prove one of the greatest blown, ever conferred by any man upon an army in the field. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. C. LEWIS said the motion was substantially one for • grant of public money to Captain Grant, and if the words of it left any doubt upon the point, it had bees en tirely removed by the epeech of tbe hon. and pliant mem ber. With regard to the expenses incurred by Captain Grant by his invention, the boo. and gallant member had stated that they were all reimbursed, sod therefore his claim was now purely for remuneration. The boo. and' gallant member not only made a claim for Captain Grant, but he assured the amount, because he said the invention would effect a saving of 50,0001. a year, and he suggested that two-thirds of Abet amount would be a fair nonuser'. tion. There wag however, a rule of the house that it should receive no petition for • sum of money, or proceed upon any resolution granting money for the public service, except upon the recommend*. tine of the crown.. There was another standing order to the effect that the house should not proceed on any motion for an sildreas to the crown, praying that any expense should ho incurred or money granted, except in a committee of the wholehouse. The present resolution, being moved when the Speaker was in the chair, was, therefore, • vielatioe of the standing orders, and he op posed: it upon that general ground. With regard to the merits of the question, Na far an be was informed by the documents to which he had access, he was unable to discover any sufficient MOOR for altering the decision of his predecessor at the Wee-Mlles, which was farmed upon the report of Messrs. Kennedy and Gnerrier. It wax, of course, competent for Captain Great to dispute the fairness of die person■ who made the report, but his cooking apparatus was tried at various camps and other please, and a.'thoagb there was no prejudice amulet him and it had received a fair trial, the result was sot such as to induce the War Department to extend it any further, or introduce it in places where it was not now used. The house divided, when there appeared : For the motion Against it 52-1 WORKING HOURS OF ENOLVE-DRIVERS. run the risk of causing inconvenience and disorder to ea ve some little time sad trouble. He would call the attention of the house to sows unquestionable facts, in order to jus tify his proceeding in this way at the present time. It was beyond all dispute that large masses of people con nected with the manufacture of cotton had lost their employment and bad become deatitnte, and that destitution was more intense now than it had hitherto been. He feared it most increase, for this country was not receiving any of the raw material of cotton, and the stock which bad been laid up in this country was diminishing very rapidly. and the price wan enhancing. And it should be remarked that the little cotton that had been retained in this country was now being exported to other places on the coatineet. It would be difficult to come to any other cnochuno• than that the distrem moat increame, unless it could be shown that the civil war in America was likely to cease. The bill pro posed to tiz • certain point beyond which the common fund of the union should be charged for the perish. He believed himself, from having carefully examined the returns of the value of property is the different unlace, that they would be quite sufficient to meet any difficulty which could miss daring the approaching recess. It would he as well, how ever, to consider what might be the case if the union itself became distressed from the pressure upon it. Nobody would s ugg est that if • onion were in distress it should not seek relief from the county itself. and therefore the simple remedy if such a MIS should arise, would be to charge th e axons beyond the average expenditure incurred by the I union upon the county rate. But with respect to Lance , shire, in considering this matter there was the objection that there were • great many places not subject to the county rate. At present, however, there ass machinery which enabled them to reach the county entirely by placing the charge upon all the county unions. There was such • complete organisation and combination with the ended board that there would be no difficulty at all in calling for contributions from every union. The thing was easy and complete, and he thought if the principle wan Lust, that the county should support its poor, ere was the machinery perfectly ready. It wan mese. (meetly provided by the bill, that should the expenditure of ' one union *need a certain amount, it should have a power of Wittig epos the other onions for contributions in aid ; but ft wee provided that a clear cum moat be made out to the satisfaction of the Poor-law board to justify the uperatioa of the act. He did ant, however. think it was in the least ' Ukeiy that any *aim would be placed in each • position as to to Nobs =eh • call as he had refereed to. He are a Owe& the pospeollies of the government would be • uses leilliwatereowiltes than for the perishes to raise maw let the utile of the poor. Metre would Mr. COM:MT then rose, pursuant to notice, to call attention to the number of boon during which engine drwers sod Bremen employed es railway@ are worked, and to move that a select committee be appointed on the subject. Mr. M. Glll.9oti mill hie hon. friend had correctly stated that a deputation of engine drivers bad bees to the Board of Tonle to complain of the tong bouts which they worked. hut it did not appear from what had passed that the engine drivers as a elan were agreed as to the necessity of inter ference on the part of the government between their em ployers and them. There was a great deal of truth in what his bon, friend had said ; hut he was informed by the rail way insp-cton that it rarely occurred— though sometimes it did—that amid/eta anise from drivers working too long bourn. There were no doubt cuss also in which signalmen, from being too long on duty, fell asleep and neglected to per form their office. Still, if he ware to bold out any hope of legislation on the subject, it would be a complete departure from the rule which paiiinalot had hitherto observed.

In the prneree"l inch distress as sow elided, it was • ;trial obligation to alleviate the eafferin gs and sacriasea which those poor people had sidemitisid to — (hear, hear)—especially when they considered Or Patissier, loyalty, and forbearance which had been shown. (Her, hear.) He therefore now asked leave to introduce this bill, and perhaps hoe. gentlemen would be 'Exposed to wait until they hail considered the clause. before they expressed any opinion or proceeded to criticise it. (Cheers.) Colonel W. PATTEN said that hie right hon. friend could not expect that hoe. members should be prepared to express any very critical opinion upon this measure. Be merely rose for the purpose of doting that he was confident of the absolute necessity of the case, and that the right honourable gentleman had not exaggerated in one particular the prospect before them in certain districts, and also that he was prepared to con sider, with great favour, any proposition of the govern ment for the relief of those dittricia. (Hear, hear.) He trusted he might call upon the government to swept with liberality any suggestions from hon. members who, in consideration of the bill, might feel it their duty to take a different view of the case to that expressed by his right hon. friend. Mr. BOUVERTE could not conceal from the house that the change proposed by the bill was • most porten tous one, and be did not think Mr. Villiers had laid down any ground for this departure from the recognised law. He believed that the rate in the pound for the relief of the poor in the districts where the pressure was prated was not nearly so high as in many of those in the south of Enka& He considered that the propoul for extending the easy to the county was likely to invite profusion and extravagance. The beet mode of meeting the emergency, in his opinion, was to stand by the ancient A few remarks were made by Mr. HIBB!BT and Mr. A. EOIRTON. Mr. GILPIN observed that, looking to the actual mid in dressing distress in Lenesshire, government would have failed in their duty ff they bad not made preparation to meet the LMr. LIVOI made some observations. Lord PALM ERSTON--I think the house has judged very properly in abstainieg on this occasion from any discussion upon the minute details of the bill announced by my right hon. friend, but some mistake has arisen u to the nature of the plan he has shadowed out. It is not intended, as the hon. member who has just spoken supposes, to transfer the burden from the ratepayers to others. On the orstray, the measure of my right hon. Mood is of this eaten, tbst where the burden may become so great in • narrow akabe of ratepayers aa to exhaust their means, that burden are, be distributed over • wider range of ratepayers. But, in any case, the operation of the bill is aotifiDed to the two cows- ties of Lancashire and Cheshire, which have been chiefly benefited by that commercial and manufacturing prosperity which unfortunately is at this moment checked and se tarded. Nothing, I am sure, can be stronger than the &din of admiration which prevails in this house and in every part of the country at the manly fortitude dis played by the labouring classes under these unto ward circumstances. (Cheers.) And I think it would have been • great neglect of duty on the part of her Majesty's government if, knowing the great amount of dila tions which at present oxide, and foreseeing the coons of events in August, which may not only continue that distress but aggravate it in a very a• ble degree, we bad allowed parliament to separate without proposing some =insure to provide machinery for meeting the aggravated distress. (Hear, hear.) If we bad allowed parliament to separate, sad called it suddenly together in August, to do that which might have been done before its rising, I think we would have justly exposed ourselves to severe censure. We have now proposed our plan, and we are quite ready to hear anything which those acquainted with the details of the matter may suggest, during the progress of the bill, for or against that plan. We are not ready with any particular scheme ; our satiety is to do that which, on full consideratioe, may appear beet calculated to meet the evil, and we shall be happy to hear suggestions from these whose local knowledge entitles them to form an opinion on the subject. Our wish is that the bill should he read a second time on Thursday. It will be printed and delivered to-morrow morning, and a day may be fixed for going into committee which may afford time for obtaining any information that may be re quired. We have uo wish to hurry on the measure, be cause that would defeat our own object ; and even if we prolong oar sitting fora few days for the consideration of the bill, I am quite sure the house will not grudge the time it may speed for such a porpose. (Cheers.) Mr. AYRTON said as the measure proceeded on • per. centage of Erevan in the rates, and not on any fixed amount of charge, he wished to know whether the right hon. gentleman would lay before the house a tabular state ment with regard to the rata. in Lancashire and Cheshire, to enable the house to judge of the probable effect of the etheme in those counties ? Mr. C. VILLIERS said • general return as to the poor rates was now before the house, but be did not possess any information with respect to the expenditure in each par ticular place, which he presumed the hon. member required. CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION (1854) ACT. On the motion of Sir G. GRIM leave was given to bring in a bill for the continuance of this act. LUNATIC LAW AMENDMENT BILL On the motion of Mr. Hum Ear, the following clause was agreed to :—"The superintendent of every asylum shall. once at least in each half-year, transmit to the guardians of every union, and of every parish under a board of guardians, and the overseers of every parch not in a union, nor under a board of guardians, a statement of the condition of every pauper lunatic chargeable to such union or parish." Mr. BUTT proposed a clause to the effect that a copy of the minuets on which a person was received as an inmate of a lunatic asylum should be given oa demand, but with drew lion being opposed by Sir G. Grey. One or two other amendments were introduced, and the bill was ordered to be read a third taw POOR REMOVAL BILL. The amendments in this bill were considered and agreed to. POLLING PLACES (NEW SHOREHAM, &c.) BILL Oa the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Mr. PEACOCK E opposed the bill, on the ground of there being no information before the house. Sir G. GREY said there were five boroughs the polling places of which were fired by act of parliament, and it was necessary that parliament should intervene in order to alter them. The bill was then read a second time. NAVAL AND VICTUALLING STORES BILL The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to.

The directors of the company caused special trains to be run from London, Oxford, Bungerfard, Reading, and other places, to Thesis, the nearest station to the park, to which they were conveyed by omnibuses which were in attendance. Large numbers of the company's servants attended, and amusements of various kinds were provided for their benefit.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Jtn.Y 22. COMMITIIII YOB PR117114018.- THIS WILTU ?IMO& Their lorthhMe at as a committee for privileges, and heard a claim of Simon Thomas Borope, of Denby, I. the county of York, to the earldom of Witte, in the peerage of Eileen& It appeared that the serldorn was created by King Richard and the find and only earl held the °Moe of High Treasure; to that sovereign at the time when Hoary of Lancaster waged war against him for the crown. The earl was taken in arms against Henry, and was beheaded, but no act of attainder against him individually was passed. The question, however, sow arose whether an art of parliament, passed in the fi rei year of the reign of Hoary IV., Approvieg of all that bad been dons in the achievement of the crown by that monarch, and making good all the acts performed to that end, did not operate as a general attainder spinet those adherents of Richard who were exe cuted as traitors, and the earl was one. The pedigree of the claimant was now satisfactorily proved ; and another question as to whether a grant of a peerage to , a man and his heirs male szteeded to the heirs of his body only or to his collateral heirs male ; which latter, in the case of the Earl of Devon, was held to be the law by their lordship' home. Their lord ships were, however, of opinion that the case was so impor tant that they must have it re-argued next session ; and its further consideration was then postponed. Mr. Fleming and Mr. Cayley appeared for the claimant ; the Attorney-Ceueral and Yr. Charles Clark for the crown. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JULY 22. (Before the Judo Ordinary.) In this cam, Sir C. Croswell held that a discharge fa bankruptcy exonerated the bankrupt from the obligation to pay alimony dne as the date of the order. V. ILEPWORTEL—MCPWORTE o. These are cross petitions, and the history of the litigation has bean somewhat peculiar. Mr. Hepworth was a surgeon in Gloomier, sad his wife a public wager. They hid been married Dom years, and bad had two obildres. In a suit brought by Gibson against his wife for a restitution of his conjugal right., Mrs. Gibson had pleaded adultery, and Mrs. Hepworth had hem examinedin open court. Mr. Hepworth thereupon brought his snit, sod Mrs. Hepworth filed her re taliatory petition. She then obtained au order for 3411. a rear se alimony pendent. lite ; and also an order that her hus band should pay Into court or secure the sem of 3001. to satisfy the taxed mots of her attorney for defending her, and 4001. to meet the mists of her own action. Mr. Hepworth's income being only about ISM., he was unable to obey either requisition, End the result was, not only that his suit was ordered to Mead over till the :ropey was forthcoming, but his wife actually procured a writ of attachment against him for not finding her means with which to pursue her petition easiest hini. Upon this writ he was arrested ; is due course he was made bankrupt, and on the 11th of March last he obtained an order of discharge. Dr. Wambey now applied to the court fora second attach ment, for uon.payment of the maintenance since the bank ruPt-87- Mr. Hepworth, who appeared in person, being no longer able to fee counsel, expressed a hope that the court would take his care into it. kindest consideration. It was utterly impossible for him to provide the enormous amount of 7001., which be bad been ordered to pay in or secure ; and it was, therefore, impossible for him to even have his case heard. He was utterly ruined, and a session injury had been in flicted on his children. 'l6e object of the present motion was evidently to effect that in which this prosecution must ultimately result unless the court interfered—namely, to drive him from the country. Sir C. Cromwell wee not so unfortunate as to be invested with any such painful duty as that of exercising a die. emotion. He must hold the husband discharged in bank ruptcy from all the debts that could have been proved against him, including the alimony peodente lite. For the subse quent alimony there must be an attachment, with costs. Mr. Hepworth wished to know whether he was discharged of the alimony tip to the 11th of March Sir C. Crerewell—You are discharged of all the alimony that could have been proved as a debt against you. I cannot tell how far that extends. FORSTER V. MUSTER MID 111011M1.— MESITA V. TOISTEI. Mr. Searle mid that since the former of thane sows had been set down for hearing, the Meads of the parties bed intervened, and a deed of separation had been executed under which a suitable provision would be made for the wife, and the husband would retina the custody of his children. He (the learned geutleman) begged, therefore, to move that both petitions be dismissed. Mr. Clarkson assented fee the wife, and Dr. Striae for the eo-rispoodeet. Sir C. Cresswell dietaiwed the petitions se prayed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT -Re-AFFORD JULY 22. The amines for the county of Stafford ware formally opened on Monday, and the trial of prisoners commenced trmlay.

Mr. Justice Myles presides in Nisi Prica, and Mr. Baron Blackburn in the Crown Court. CROWN Cousr. THE SEdT!NCZ UPON THE BZV. B. B. nacers. The Bee. Samuel Horatio Pleteker surreadered to his bail, and was sentenced fur hi frauds as treasurer uf the Banton Savings Bank. It will be remembered that Ithe prisoner, who was the incumbent of St. Leonard's, Bilston, and a magistrate for Staffordshire, was found guilty at the last assizes of de frauding the depositors of the Billiton Savings Bank, of which he was treasurer and trustee, of several large sumo( money, to wit : 1001. on the Ist of Jennie+, 1859; 1001. oa the Bth of the same month, 1001. on the filth, fa& on the 220 d, and 2004 on the 29th, all of the name meth ; with 1,0001. on the 25th of /Jacek, 1861. The whole sum taken by him was, however, about 7,0001. Although found guilty, be was not sentenced, because a legal point was, whether or not he was a trustee. But that questioa having been decided by the Court of Criminal Appeal in the affirmative, he now came up to be awarded the punishment that was allotted him by the judge before whom be was tried. Mr. Baron Blackburn, having addressed the prisoner, sentenced him to be imprisoeed in the common gaol for the space of two 'ears. of September, 1910, in which. in allusion to his first mar riage, the prawn algid that he wee very young at the time • that Catherine Creagh had lived ith him prev iously; that neither of them ever con• sidered it as • valid marine' that she left him shortly darned; countering diet there were no marital obligations ; that after be was married in 1844 at St. Peter's to Miss O'Bryan he repeatedly saw Catherine Ce in the streets., and attach* no value to her marriage been sought him, or required anythirg of him, although hie marriage with Miss O'Bryan had been published in the news papers, and must have been well known to her. The question having been raised in one of the courts of law, it had been determined by the authorities that marriages like the one spoken of were valid. The writer said he had seen Catherine Creagh in Cork as late as 1855. Prisoner said that these letters were dated from Wool. with, and be never was there. Mr. Lewis intimated that Catharine Creagh was alive now, and bad givea etrieleace • few days ego in the Court of Chancery respecting acme property traninetioes. Prisoner said that • woman had been brought from In land anieinly. Mr. Miller, on bong ereas-szamined by the prisoner, said that shout the trine the letters were received there was some treaty dint the raising of some money ; the objecting' `that the settlement should be set aside. He was about to lend Mae O'Brian some money, and be wanted to be satis fied on some potato relating to the prisoner. A penny in one of the letters purporting to be writ ten by the prisoner was pointed out as showing that he well knew his first wife to be alive at the time of his marriage with Min O'Brian. It stated that Catherine Creel& re sided at Ciro is 1844 ; that she continued to live there, end that be repeatedly saw her. Mr Mary An O'Brian, who described herself as a single ensue, mid that she was married on the 29th Jun, 1844, to the primmer. This wan the evidence in support of the first bigamy, and the second was now proceeded with. Mr. Lewis proposed that the evidence of the first mar riage should be copied spas the depositions in this men, and called The Rev. W. Bell Mackenzie, interlining of St. James's, Holloway, wi-. stated that on the 22nd of May, 1852, he performed .mvruge ceremony with Eugene M'Clertby and Emily V, They signed the register, which he produced. Dr. John O'Bryaa proved that the name of lirCarthy was prisoner's handwriting. Mies O'Brysn said that Emily Verliog unfortunately resided in the same house with herself and husband. Prisoner and Maas Veiling left the house together. It wee stated that Miss Veeliog, lading she had been de ceived, left the prisoner and went abroad. Mr. Arnold asked what inidases there was to show that in 1852 prisoner knew his first wife war alive. Mr. Lewis said that the letter proved that be knew she was alive after 1854. Mr. Arnold pointed out that he might have become entwined with that fact in 1854, but might have been ignorant of it ia 1852. A certificate was now produced in the third as whisk the prienaer, in which be had sworn, us his application for • license to be married to Min :Veiling, on the 19th of May, 1852, that he was • bachelor. Mr. Arnold observed that the question in this case would spin arise whether in 1852 the prisoner knew that his fist wade was tn. Mies 0' ryas was again celled to supply the proof required, and her brother was also put into the witness-box to give secondary evidence of the contents of a letter written by the prisoner, which bad been destroyed. It was addressed to Dr. CYBryan, and was written after his con nexion with Miss Veiling, and stated that he had left his (Dr. ()Bryn's) sister because she was not hie wife ; that in 1839 he was mar ri ed to Catherine Creagh, who died in 1851, and was buried at a cemetery described. At fine be stated that be was married to Miss Veiling, as be was at that time an unmarried man. . . NORFOLK CIRCIIIT.—HininsOOON, JuLy 22. The judges arrived yesterday, and the 00MIlli1S1011 was opened by the Lord Chief Janine Cockburn. There are three causes and seven prisoners for trial. There are three cases of arson contained in this smell calendar. Mr. Justice Wightman sat in the Nisi Priva Court. The first cacao tried was an cation for seduction, and before a special jun. CHOWN COURT.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) Win. Mitchell, a little fellow in a smockdrock, eight years of age, whose head saircely reached above the front of the bar, was charged with setting fire to a. outbuilding, the =arty of John Holloway, at Ferret, on the 14th of April Mr. Markby was fur the prosecution. The learned gentleman, in opening the case, sated shortly the facts, which were that this child and his sister were playing with some matches, and eat fire to the thatch. Another child at once gave an alarm, and the fire was put out before any mischief was done. The little fellow who had caused it began i to cry, and et once told him howfit was done. Hie lordship having beard these facts thought, although the prisoner was over seven years of age, and so capable at law of committing • crime, there was nothing to show that be waa actuated by any malice, or even knew the nature or consequeocee of such an act as he had committed. The jury, DO evidence being offered, Acquitted the' primme. WiUi r oni Mole was charged with wilfully setting fire to • granary, the property of Hoary Curtis, at Warboys on the 17th March, 1862. Mr. Serjeant Toner sad Mr. Douglas Brown were for the prosecution ; Mr. MetaJfe defended the prisoner. This fire occurred In the morning of the 17th March, and the evidence against the prisoner was very slight. It was said he made an excessive claim from the fire-office, and it seemed he had several times advised his neighbour, • police man (whose house was burnt at this fire), whose property was uninsured, to insure it. The fire-office would not pro secute him, and the chief sufferer from the fire, • farmer, whose granaries, &c., were destroyed, In the crams of hie evidence said be believed the prisoner was the last person in the world likely to be guilty of such an act. Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury, and his Lordship having summed up, they at once Acquitted the prisoner. The grand jury ignored the bill in the other case of arson, and an unimportant case finished the criminal business of the assizes. THE POLICE COURTS. WESTMINSTER. Mr. Eugene Plumber JVCarthy, a gentleman 44 met age, described as a solicitor and notary public in underwent a lengthened examination on two charges of and one of perjury. Mr. Lewis, men., was signed for the prosecutioa. Dr. John O'Bryan, of 17, Thistle-grove, Bromine°, pro duced a mrtificete from the registry of the Rev. J. G. F. Shultry in the Consistolial Court, Dublin The prisoner was there described.. Eugene 11•Carthy, and the marriage, which took place on the 28th of Janomv, 1839, mu between Catherine Cresgh and Eugene 11Varaiy. Witness also produced a certificate of the marriage of limy Ana O'Bryaa in the parish church of St. Peter's, in the county of Curly to Eugene M'Certhy, on the 29th of June, 1844. The ant marriage was also proved by a vitae.. wbo ass present at the ceremony. It was here explained that the clergymen in question vs. what " a maple beggar." Mr. Lewin rotated out that his marriage. were valid, or they would sot be reghitered is the Conatetozy Court. Mr. Inglsby Thomas Miller, *dicker, George-yard, Lem. bard-street, produced two letter from the primmer, which were premed to ha la haadwritiag, dated nth mid 91/ Mr. Arnold said that this evidence was not against the primmer, but in his favour. W. Lewis applied to have the depositions copied up for prionser's committal on all the charges, and asked for a remand for witneeses from Ireland. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner for a week, but said that at resent he could only commit upon the first charge, as the others were not proved. LAMBETH. Alfred Murray and John Griffith., two stalwart young men, were placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, the Bon. G. C. Norton, charged with the cumndesion of a highway robbery with violence. Mr. Arthur Chandler, solicitor, residing at No. 22, Lam betb-terrece, deposed that on Sunday night last be was re turning home after seeing a friend off by an maim from the Westminster-road at about half-part 11 o'clock, and had proceeded pest the residence of the clerk of the pease for Surrey, when he was suddenly pounced upon by three men, one uf whom seized him frosts behind by the throat with both hands, compressing the windpipe with so meek violence and severity that he (witness) almost became insensible. At all eveuta, be lost his breath for some wood; bet still he was perfectly conscious of what followed. A second man came to front of him, and seized and possessed himself of his (witness's) gold watch and chain, of the value of about 12/. or 15/. The third mau stood by as if looking out to prevent his companions being intelfered with. After the robbery was ef fatted the perpetrators throw him with great violence on to the ground, but went away without attempting to touch or rile his_pockete, and he saw them run oil together down China wal exactly opposite to where the robbery had been com mitted. The witness positively identified Murray as the man who seised him by the throat, but was unable to identify the other prisoner ' or to describe the third man. When his assailants left him witness raised himself from the ground, but did not follow the men, bsestute observing soother man with a woman standing together at the corner of Chiea.walk, and supposiog them to form part of the same gang, be feared a second attack if he did so. Mr. Norton remarked that it was to be regretted that the prosecutor lied not followed the men, as bad he done so there was every probability that all t hree would have been secured at once. Inspector Young said there was no doubt if the men bad been promptly pursued, they would have been taken ori the spot, as there was as abundance of police constables on duty in that locality. Thomas Macaulay. 269 A, deposed that on Sunday even ing, at 25 minutes to 12 o'clock, he was standing at the corner of Brooketreek Kenningtoo-road, when he saw three men running across the road from St. Allan's-street, into which China-walk leads. They posed close to him, and he was confident that Murray was one of them. The wh ose& followed the men down Brook-street. at the bottom of which, owing to the darkness, he lost sight of them, but dis tinctly heard their footsteps running across West-square. ' On the following night be saw both the prisoners standing together at the Obdisk, at the end of the Loudon-road, when they were taken into custody. William Clear, 91 L, deposed that on Monday last he watched the two prisoners, who were loitering together in the neighbourhood of the London-road, from five o'clock is the afternoon until pest oes o'clock, when they were joined by another man and three females. When he sad the last witness came up he saw the group standing close toge ther, as if they were dividing money amongst each other. When accosted, the prisoner Griffiths said he was looking among his money fora penny to pay for a half-pint of beer. The two prisoners were then secured and conveyed to the Toweretreet station, where the prisoner Murray was afterwards fully identified by the prosecuter as one of the men who had robbed him oo the preceding Sunday even*. The witness added that Murray bad already been convicted of felony, and was the constant companion of the worst of thieves. It was also proved that the other prisoner, Grif fiths, had been previously convicted of felony. Both prisoners declared their innocence, and were re manded for further inquiries. _ NANUFACTUSAIL—Ettmorasnzto, Juicy 22.—A fair StietKi•DCO Of buyers both from London and the C 4, 114t1y has been iu the =stet to-dry, and, though few appeared to be !wavy powhessiy yet in the wlgregau . good market-day's btudoess has been transacted.

COTTON GOODR—M•acasurra, JULY 22.—There has been a rather considerable business in yarns at last week's prices, but it has consisted chiefly of wake from stocks holding by speculators. Fur spinners very little has been dune, buyers being unwilling to give the pr's they demand. The busies's reported embraces *early all kinds of yarn, but the principal sales have been to shippers to India and to German houses. The home trade have only operated to a moderate extent. For the Mediterranean not much doing. For the lower qualities of yarn, made frem Surat cotton, sellers report in some instances rather easier prices. la the cloth market there appears to b., a complete stagoaties for all markets, a4d for almost all kinds of goods. The prices given last week are quite unobtainable today, but at the same time manufacturers are unwilling to give way, and are not pressing sales. An improbities prevails that with the cotton in Liverpool and that on the way from India, we shall have quite enough to last till Clartsianas, and a surplus, at the present rate of ommaroptioe. Under these circumstances the feeling is that the present high prime for the raw material cannot bbee be maintained, and this to some extent account. for the very little business doing here as well u at Liver pool. The present rates for yarn and cloth are insufficient to cover the oest of cotton, and, as rioted above, molten are unable to find customers even at the present rel.o low rates they are making.
