The Earl of DERBY, in moving for the appointment of • melees committee to inquire into the injury resulting from noxious vapours evolved in certain manufacturing protreen, and into the state of the Lw relating thereto, 1110 d, in the &trance of any more exciting topics of discussion, be hoped he needed no apology fur bringing before their lordships as shortly as he could a subject so far removed from the range of party cud what was commonly called politics, sod that his only fear was be should sot be able to attract their lordships' attention to it in • degree commensurate with the real importance of 1110 question. But it was one of • elms of questious the sanitary bearing of which woe of the greatest impor tance, and which required the serious consideration of both parliament and the country.

Than there was the NUIMIDCC•' Removal Act, which enabled a person to apply to the magistrates, and on the certificate of a medical man that • nuisance existed—a nice point to deiiirmine— and that it was injuries. to health, the magistrates, if the hest practical imam were not taken to abate it, Vl t t . 7 . 4„,!ja h. prialty of M seemed a H. a layalinereasiag to acioos llOO l ., I . ) , e t t e s t next clause of the act deprived yer it of much of its efficacy fur It enabled the defendant to transfer the cue to the superior courts, the conewittenoe of which was that a man who thought he bad a cheap and easy remedy might find himself involved in a suit in one of the superior court, of law. Besides, the set was not applicable except in a city, town, or populous district, and he believed there was no legal definition of what was • popu- Imo district Although this was not a subject calculated to awaken great mellowest, he belived it wee one of the deepest interest to the population of skis country. (Hear, Dear.) He did not ask their lordship' to legislate upon Dis Matentents, but he was prepared to sutstantiste on infra. potable evidence the facts he:had stated—the existence of the injury, the preventability of the injury, and the inade quacy of the law as tested by esenced and practical lawyers.

Earl GRAN VILLE said that on the part of the govern meat he had no objection whatever to the committee which his noble friend asked for. He was sure his noble friend Lad no wish or intention to do any thing which would injure say of the great staple manufactures of the country. He hoped that his noble friend would select • suitable corn misters.

He enly wished to have a fair sad proper com mittee. Of course it was a matter into which no party con siderations of any kind could enter. Lord RAYENBWOETH heartily concurred in the motion, and believed that the best effects would result from the urY. The motion was then agreed to.

INCOME TAX. Sir R. WILLOIIOIIBY gave notice that in committee on the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, upon that part which related to the income tax he should move the insertion of a provision to the effect that all parties entitled to appeal, and who attend meetings duly summoned, when their cases are not heard, or if heard are decided in their favour, shall be entitled to reasonable 0010 A, and that parishes and places shall not be liable to be reassessed in the use of the de fault of the collector, where such pariah or place has no •nice in the appointment of that officer. THE MIBBION OF M. MERCIER. Sir J. DUKE asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether be could give may information with regard to the French minister's proceeding from Washington to Richmond. Mr. LAYARD—I fear that 1 can give no answer to my hon. friend, except that as far as her Majesty's government is informed, IC Mercier went to Richmond without any in structions whatever from his own government- and I may sold that his visit has been attended with no political results whatever.

PEEL laid it was *madders& by the government that the predrill force of the eonstabelary was quite adequate to wry out the provisions of this bill. SUPPLY. On the motion forgoing into committee of supply, Sir J. D. HAY asked the Secretary of the Admiralty whether he would lay upon the table the forme of commis. sion appointiog certain officers to the reserved list of the n►vy, and other particulars. He entered into a history of the reserved list, and contended that great injustice bad been dope to several officers. He moved that the case of the reserved captains be referred to the law officers of the crown. _ _ . - - Mr. B. Cochrane seconded the 'notion, which was sup- ported by Major Edwards and Admiral Walcott. Mr. BERKELEY said these officers were claiming the mime &deleting' as those who had been on the active list, and they were not entitled to them. Lord C. PAGET said that, owing to the opinion which hid been axpremed so often previously by gentlemen oppo site, the Doke of Somerset bad referred the case of these officers to the law officers of the crown. Their opinion supported the view which - Bad been taken in the matter by the Admiralty. Personally he had great sympathy with the commanders promoted to the rank of captains on the reserved list, but • careful consideration of the whole details bad convinced him that the law officer were right. He thought a simplification of the list was desirable, hut he was convinoed it could not be done. He could not agree to the motion, because the law alms had already been conaulted, but there was no objection to give the paper asked for. After a few words from Captain TALIOT, Sir J. P.IK [ROTOR expressed his approval of the course taken by the Admiralty. After some farther discussion the motion was withdrawn. Mr. B. COCHRANE called attention to the state of the Reenrilmthee. He asserted that it was in a moat unsafe eonditon, and said the house would be surprised to hear that, after the statement made a few nights ago by Mr. Cowper, on the strength of which the government had obtained a majority on a division. After a few words from Mr. C. Buirrtwcit, Mr. COWPER mitered into explaaations of what he had maid on the subject en evening or two ago. The plans were prepared fora new building for the reception of the records sad all was ready but the money. The government was not willing, however, to incur great expense without full consideration. After .omo observations Ly Mr. BENTDLCK on the course taken by the governess= in regard to the proposed fort in Plymouth Soend, the works on which he contended I orslit to be suspended triad the report of the defence com missioners was received, Mr. KNIGHTLEY asked whether it was not desirable to make some allergies in the drew worn by deputy lieutmients.

THE EXPRESS, SAT U : and our that required the most careful handling, lest false hopes should be excited. lie ventured, however, to submit that as the subject had hem already discussed in the newe -1 papers both of Lancashire and Loudon, and bad been dile ' cussed likewise both privately and openly in all classes of society, it was better that seam mitilation should be given to it in that hones. No one could doubt that distress was very prevalent in the cotton manufacturing districts. He believed that according to the most recent returns there were now about 68,000 persons entirely out of work in Lancashire, and of course a very much larger number working only short time. The house were perhaps aware that there was a weekly statement belied by the authority of the Mayor of Manchester ; and the bat return showed that the number entirely out of work in that city was 15,133 ; while the number working short time was 7,527. In Preston the number working short time was 7,700, and the number out of work altogether 12,106—a very large number. At Wigan the number out of work was 4,60 e. These figures of counts implied a very large mount of destitution. There were, he was happy to state, places where the population were in a much better state, owing, he believed, to the operation of the French treaty. (Cheers.) Amongst those towns the most remarkable were Bolton and Bury. There was some doubt as to the condition of Ashton ; but he believed it was very badly off, though not so badly as the three towns he had just mentioned. Before leaving this subject be hoped be might be allowed to say • word with respect to the manner in which both the operatives and the millowers had met this emergency. (Cheers.) The house was, perhaps, not aware to what an extent the millowners had kept their mills open while they could neither sell their products nor entertain any expectation of selling them at • profit lie was told that some of them had in this way virtually sub scribed as much as 5,0001. or 6,0001. towards the »LW of their workpeople, if what they had done could be expremed in money. (Cheers.) But if the millowners had behaved so well what should he say of the operative*? (Loud cheers.) Their conduct had been applauded by all that took an interest i^ them. They had displayed a spirit of endurance and a patient constancy under consider ,' ebb suffering such as had never been surpassed. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Fgertou) wished he could say the future pa:meets of the cotton trade were more cheering, but he was afraid he could bold out no prospect of approaching relief. He had just received an account from Liverpool of the state of the market, from which it appeared that the stock of American cotton in that port was at present only 120,850 bales, whereas at the seine date (May 2) lest year It us 079,000 bales. The total stock of cotton in Liverpool was now only 370,000 hobs, whereas last you at this time it was nearly a million. The quantity of Feet Indian cotton now at sea was about 200,000 balm which be was sorry to my was less than last year, for last year at this time there were at sea 270,000 bales. He believed, however, that the reason of this falling off might be explained by the fact that the shipping of cotton had been to a great ex tent prevented by the uncertainty produced rn India by the threatened hostilities on account of the affair of the Trent. (Hear, hear.) The ordinary consumption of raw cotton in UM country wee about 45,000 hales per week. The total stock in the whole of Europe was 725,000 bales, or about seventeen weeks' consumption at half time. He did sot think, be must my, that that held out a very cheering prospect. He believe d there was very little cotton coming to us so far se was known at present, and he could only hope that the wipe roseaarea of the government would largely develop the production of cotton in Judie. (Cheers.) He thought he had now said enough to show the house how important it was that the legal means of relief were pro perly administered, and it was with that view that he wished to put • few questions to the right hon. gentleman the!'resident of the. Poor-law Board. The questions he wished to put to the President of the Poor-law Board were, whether, in his opinion, the rules of the Poorlaw Bawd ought to be relaxed, whether he thought the labour tat was enforced in oases where it ought not to be enforced, sad whether generally the board re i r quardians were &dadaist'' , ing the poor law with due to the pockets' of the rate payers u well as to the retie of the existing dietress ? Mr. POTTER did not think that public charity or the poor law itself could oope with the present difficulty. He be lieved that unless there was some change in the relative positions of this country and America, that unless they pit cotton from America, the poor law would not be adequate to the occasion. He would not carry that argument further, but what be desired was that the government should, by means of a committee or commission, ascertain the bets of the case, which they could not ascertain from the report. to the Poor-taw Board, arid then consider what means might be taken to relieve the distress found to exist. In the district where he had raided for • number of years, in a population of 100,000 there were 8,390 or 9,000 connected with the cotton trade—they were not, he Clre c red, so destitute as the operatives in other districts, but they were suffering severely—acd yet there was hardly one per cent. of that number whoever went into a poor-house. He bed been an employer of labour himself for many y and he never remembered one of his own hands or one o his worimen wanting to obtain parochial relief. He believed that that was a character that would apply to the clam gene rally throughout England. The operatives employed in the cotton trade had been growing in intelligence, and had made wonderful progress, more, perhaps, than any other clam in the country, during the last thirty years ; and when this character of them was borne In mind the repugnance that ' they felt to go into the workhouses would be readily under stood. The claat was not a small one—one-seventh of the whole working population of England was dependent upon oottoa, and what he wanted was some measure that would spare that clue from sinking from their present high posi tion. Their present condition was entirely exceptional, sad it wanted an exceptional remedy, which would be better able to be suggested after inquiry by • committee or com mission. The only remedy that they had now before them was to get cotton from the United States. It was not • I case that was to be met by public charity,. and he wished distinctly to point out that they were all prepared, every muter and operative he believed, to go through any amount of misery rather than ask the government to take any steps in that direction. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the government would make themselves fully acquainted with the facts, and watch very carefully that black cloud which would tusk upon us in another month or two with an intensity that no man can estimate. (Cheer.) Mr. VILLIERS, as the bead of the Poor-law w de parteneut, could only answer r e th wa in hioh th pow law did ita work ; and fo when y he was asked, as e he had been that evening, whether the poor law authorities were, as far as he was aware, equal to the emergency, Le did not hesitate to my that they were—(hear, hear)—and in proof of that he need only communicate to the house what they were in the daily habit of communicating to him, that though the distreis was great, they were perfectly able to meet the incressed demands upon them by the means at their disposal. He threw out the suggestion that he had done to those who had the administration of funds voluntarily contributed, because it seemed to him that they bad au opportunity of bringing cues before the poor-law authorities which would otherwise escape their notice, or they might afford the necessary relief themselves. With respect to the communications nude to him by the deputation, he thought it right to state that it was said tho people of Lancashire were in a state of doubt and uncertainty as to what were the powers of the local authorities in the administration of the poor-law ; and some apprehension had been felt that they were more or Ism under stringent rules issued from the Poor law Board here, and that they were unable on that account to meet the distress tinder which they were labouring. He was surprised that any such doubts should have prevailed ; but he was glad to have the opportunity of removing any misapprehension that existed upon the subject Ile had been told that there was some doubt as to the power of the guardians or overseers to raise the me to any amount to meet the exigencies of the time; as to whether they could extend their staff with • view to meet all the requirements of an extraordinary state of things ; whether them was any stringent rule that req uir ed people to sell up house and furniture before reoeivieg relief; and, lastly, whether rules issued by the Poor-law Board were so stern that the guardians bed no power to relax them without previous communication with the board on the subject. He satisfied the deputation upon all those points ; and should, with • view to give further publicity to • statement he made as tithe powers of local authorities, repeat it to the home. In the first place, the guardians of the poor, and the overseers together, might raise the rates to any amount they pleased, without any communication what ever with the Poor-law Board. They might den increase the staff under their authority, to investigate particular cases, mid to distribute means. There was no practical operation given to that provinoe, and he knew of no case in which the selling of furniture bed been insisted upon previously to givMg relief. The hoe. member had stated that be (Mr. Villbra) Warn in error, and that he had been informed that something of the kind had occurred at Wipe. Since then he had received a statement from the clerk of the union, in which it was emphatically denied that any such case bad occurred. There was no rea son in fact for any apprehension that the people were sub jected to any such stringent rules before they received relief. It was said that the rules of the Poor-law Board were stringent and unbending, and that awes Motlwould rather starve than accept relief under them. i s as not the ease. There was nothing strict or stria gent in those rules which might not be relaxed ; and, in fact, the whole system was expansive sad elastic, and capable of being adapted to extraordiaare emergencies. Some ten or twelve years ago, within the time of the hoe. member for Lincolnshire, an order was issued for the guidance of the overseers with respect to relieving able bodied persons, and it was stated that when relief was given the recipients should give some work in Mane Bat even in that order there were exception" named, and the guardians were allowed to give relief for a specified time -21 days—without exacting labour, upon the condition that in the interval they communicated to the Poor law Board the reasons why they did so. If these reasons were satisfactory, there was nothing In the friendly ! communications that paned between the board and the goardises, to prevent such relief being given for a longer period. But, in fact, the labour test, which was seespialsed des %novelty introduced by the Poor-law Baud, bad existed in this country for the last three connote% The ji re vision of Eli za b e th required that when a man to the local authorities for r e li e f h e s h ou ld, if a bl be set to work. He bad certainly hoard that the kind of labour tear which was offered was offensive to those gm vioady engaged in maanfactories, bat It was not Decessary , in order to carry out the principle, th a t the weeirtAtree should be of th a t character, and if hoards o f as ' were judicious, they would avoid giving week for which the persons applying for relief were Vile suited. All that the Poor-law insisted apes m a general rale DAY EygNING, MAY 10, 1862. was that when able-bodied persona applied for relied Meg should do mule work is return. That had been the cam in other Owes, and he saw no reason why it should not apply to Lancishire. They had; for indeed*, the ease of Coventry, in which far more than eighteen months very severe sod wide-spread distress e4sta. A noblemen resident m. district printed • letter calling upon tba Poer-kw BoeM to relax its sttingent rules in order to mess that case. That letter brought to the board general remonstrances froth all the local authorities against any such rekxeMon, and the board immediately sent an inspector down to th e district to consult with thst nobleman and the authorities as to the best steps to be taken. On the first day of his arrival he was present at a meeting of which Lord Leigh was the chairman, and he found they were not aware of what the rules of the Poor-law Board really were. On the second day Lord Leigh acknowledged to the respecter and the chairman of the board of guardians that he was prek viously quite unacquainted with the Mee, sad that he had been convinced not only that the poor rates should be dis tributed under these rules, but also that the large voluntary contributions of the publics should be distributed under similar arrangements. In the case of Lancashire there was nothing to excite apprehension as to the want of resources, either in the county at large or in the different parishes. It was of course impossible to say bow long the manufacturers would be deprived of the raw material, and their work, be kept either wholly or partially closed. But, looking at the stocks on hand at home and abroad, and the efforts made in various parts of the world to grow cotton for the English market, there was no reason for any alarm. The cause of the (littler was clearly temporary, and the only question was to meet it in the heat way possible while it lasted. He could only say that from the local authorities, the boards of gear dans, and the mayor, of the various boroughs, the Poor-law Board had received assurances that they had ample re sources in the public rates to meet all the demands now made upon them. If they compared the state of Lancashire in respect of rateable property, and the proportion of rates paid, they would find that it was yet far less burdened than many other parts of the country, and that if it bore an equal rate to some parts, the rates would amount to four or five times the sum now levied. In 1856, the rateable property in Lancashire was 7,296,0001. In that year the cost of the poor was 455,0001., sad in 1861 the oost of the poor was 429,6174 If the distress continued for the re mainder of the present year to increase as it had done for the last four months the expenditure would reach 678,0001., which was • third more than in the years he bad aemed. Bat even though it should be doubled, the rata then would only amount to Is. 10d. in the pound. There was there fore, nothing to alarm them in the amount of the poor rate that might be required. if they took Ole empty of Suffolk and the town of Sheffield they would find theptaid • rate of half a mown Is the pound. If Leseeebiz• the same rate, that would give 912,3804 for the !eh of the poor. In St. George'a-in-the-Fist the tote was 3s. 3d. in the pound, which would give on the rateable property of Lancashire 1,186,0001. 7t /*menhir* paid the =MO rates as Nolting h•m, and some either east and west-end parishes of Lon don—l r. in the pound—it would give 1.277,0001. A rate of fe. in the pound would give 1,624,0004, and • rate of which had bees reached in some parries, would give 2,900,0001. for the relief of the poor. (Hear, bear.) He was quite aware that at present some of the parishes were already heavily rated, as at Preston, where the rate was 3s. in the pound, and where the distress was very severe. But, the facts he had stated would show, in the first place, that Lancashire paused the meal* of meeting the emergency. The next runt was to provide such regulations as would enable the requisite funds to be distributed in an efficient and proper manner, and the government had thought it their duty to instruct saperienoed persona to proceed at once to those districts-( hear, heart —to order to ascertain from the various boards of geardians whether the system under which they were administering relief was satisfactory or not, and also to bring into harmonious action that die tributioa with the distribution of the feeds that might be raised by v o luntary efforts . In taking that step the government had only acted upon former peeeedents. Some years ago, when the Btunley union ma in very great disked*, Sir John Walsh was sent down foradmilar purpose. He found on his arrival, to use his own words, "a general scramble for the rate*" but he induced the_ guardians imme diately to substitute relief io kind fee relief in mousy, to appoint • larger staff of relieving alms, and to institute a stricter test of destitution. The remelt of them treasures was instantly and most speareat. The gentleman to whom he had referred, after being six weeks in the country, reported that the cams which he had pointed out had been fairly met. He (bk. Villiers) was bound, in conclusion, to say, from all that had resched him, that there was not the smallest reason to complain of those in authority, for they had really done everythoug in their 'sower to alleviate the hardships which the present un fortuoate calsmity had thrown upon • portion of the people. (Hear, bear.) - Mr. BRIGHT said the distress in Lancashire was grow ing worm and worse. AU they could do was to mitigate it. He advocated the concession of the greatest liberty to the load guardian', and the appointment of local committees. Every one knew that in Lantashire there was great patience and energy amongst the people to assist themselves ; while, on the other hand, there was great wealth and equal libera lity amongst those who possessed it, and he had the strong est confidence possible that if this state of thing, should go on for many months longer, th e county would find itself competent to take care of its own affairs without :siding the list round to other parts of the country. The hoa. member strongly deprecated political predictions as to the time and manner of the termination of the war in America, and attributed loss and injury to the interests of Lancashire to a recent speech of Earl Human, which checked the trade of • whole tthtrict, and caused a fall of from 7to 10 par cent in the price of yarns and cloth. Mr. Hibbert, the Marquis of Hartington, Colonel Lind say, Mr. Batley, and Mr. W. Egerton continued the die cuanion, hearing testimony to the distress and suffering in Lameshire. Mr. GILPIN acknowledged the existence of the evil, and believed that, unhappily, it was not yet at its height. The object of the Poor-law Board, be said, was to ad minister the law in • generous, bat at the same time • just, spirit, since indiscriminate relief had • tendency to demoralite the recipient& Sir M. FARQUHAR added • few remarks upon the same subject. The subject then dropped. Mr. Serjeant PIGOTT - inquired the views sad intentions of the government with reference to • reform of the con stitution and procedure of the Royal Court of Jersey. Sir G. GREY, after a brief reference to the preceding topic, said it was impossible to deny that there were great anomalies in the law of Jersey ; but the exercise of the undoubted right of parliament to take the initiative in re forming it ought to be had recourse to only under extreme circumstances, and be thought the time had not arrived when a forced reform could be justified. The house then went into Committee of Supply on, the remaining civil service estimates, when certain votes were agreed to, after much discussion. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up sad agreed to. Leave was given to introduce certain bills. BRITISH MUSEUM. The CHANCRIIit4II; /XCHE44I7ER moved for leave to bring in • bill to enable the trustees of the British Mum= to remove portions of their collections. The object of the bill was to enable the trustees to remove certain of their collection to South Kennington. The bill also mn tained provisions with regard to certain outlying parts of collections which were not strictly contained in those col lectious themselves. He hoped the print of the bill would be in boo. members' hands in • few days. Leave wee given to being in the bell, which was after wards read• fret time.

Thriviaarry Coultas, LONDON.—At a Seeaion of Council, on Saturday, the 3rd May, the result, in a collec tion of 2,3301., of the appeal in behalf of the hospital at the public dinner oo the && A was reported.

It is usual the hit four days of term for a single judge to sit in banoo and dispose of motions and certain cases in the paper. Accordingly a special peremptory paper had been made out, but on the cases being called on there were no counsel ready to argue them. Mr. Justice Wightmaa said that formerly it was the custom for learned counsel engaged in cases to come to Westminster Hall and be instteixhiaceand ready to arguetto eases when they were called on, but now a contrary practice prevailed, which rendered it uselees to make outaperemptory list. He was ready to take any case where mania were ready, and he should have the oases celled on in order, and strike out those in which counsel did not appear. Mr. Lush, QC., rid be appeared to show cause in a rule obtained by his learned friend, Mr. Garth. Unfortunately his junior, who had the original affidavits, had not arrived, but he h ad copies of them, and he was ready to go on with the case, if his lordship and the other aide had no objeoti6n. Mr. Garth maid be was without the assistance of his learned leader. (Laughter.) He should certainly object to go on without the original affidavits. Mr. Lush =weed that the case should stand over till next term. Mr. Justice Wightman said it would be impossible to get rid of the business on the pew if that come were gene rally adopted. The came, however, was allowed to stand over till to morrow (this day). Mr. Justice Wightman then struck out the first came in the list, and heard a case in which one counsel only ap peared, viz., the learned counsel to show cause against the rule, no learned counsel being present to support it.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—bikY 9. (Before Mr. Oommiseioner Fosbisoque.) IN RE 1110 BOLL AND NOTITH.-BPSCULATIONS 1/1 TALLOW. DOD/OS AT TIM BALTIC COPIII-BOUBI. _ . _ The bankrupts WeivdraTiriieiciaitallClr:l7rokers, Bishopegate-street, and of the Baltic Coffee-house. This was the sitting for certificate (under the old act). The bankruptcy occurred 15 months ago, and there had been frequent adjournments before the bankrupts were allowed to pass. The joint liabilities are 52,3541. ' • moats returned at 3,6101. A considerable portion of this large Liability to the amount of 23,7101., arose in reepect of what aro WWI " differences" on tranuactions in tallow at the Baltic Coffee house. Mr. Lowrance opposed for the assignees; Mr. C. E. Lewis supported the bankrupt North, !what whom the charges were principally directed ; Mr. Reed appeared for NickolL Mr. Lawrence, after recapitulating the figures in the balance-sheet, °keened that the bankrupt., in the COWIN of three years, bad increased their indebtedness from 8,0001. to 62,0001. The trading had been most diasstrons ; easiest gross profits, returned at 18,2341., there were bad debts of nearly an equal amount ; losses on differences, 23,7101.; and trade expenses, 3,5381. The male charge alpine* the bankrupts vu the large loss which they . bad incurred by speculations in tallow. On one transaction alone with Mr. Stephen Flocktaa, shortly before the bankruptcy, they bad incurred a law of 4,0001. ; on another, etM /term the bankruptcy, the loss bad been 3 ,6401.; , and on ano ther, 978/. It might be said that those transactions had their place with gentlemen of high standing in the City, members of the Baltic Coffee-house ; but whatever might be their opinion of those dealings, the court would have to consider whether a bankrupt who entered into them was entitled to his certificate. The book-keeping had been most imperfect ; transactions to the amount of hundreds of thou sands of pounds were not recorded. Mr. C. E. Lewis denied that his client was more culpable than the other bankrupt. He had been ten years in 1. nen, and was well known to the trade. Their actual indebtedness, irrespective of liabilities, was 34,0001., and the liabilities were owing to the failure of other parties. Their purchases in three years had been no less than 731,000/. The losses by "dilemma* were attributable to the sudden rise of 25 to 30 per cent. in the price of tallow in the last three months of 1860. Mr. Col chester, one of the assignees, who was a creditor for 9,0004 in respect of those differences, was well aware of the course of trading of the bankrupts, for he bad both received and paid differences with them. The same with the other cre ditors in respect of differences, none of whom could come here to explain. These gentlemen had traneutioos some times to the amount of a million a day ; they posed amongst one another pierce of paper, which they willed cheques, but they were never presented, and were never meant to be presented. Owing to a monop oly in the hands of a few dealers at the end of 18130, the Floe of tallow was run up from 511. to 601. per ton ; but very shortly after it fell to 431. per too. Thin of itself was sufficient to account for the losses incurred by the bankrupts, and not one of the creditors was there to complain. The Commissioner—Are them any considerable creditors except from the Baltic Coffee-housel ber. Lewis said he believed that all the creditors, except for a few hundred*, were men engaged in that trade. The bankrupts had a right to the benefit of the rule that oppos ing creditors must come into the court with clean hands. The Commissioner—Can you say that when they deal in tallow? (Laughter.) In this case they appear to be all tarred with the same brush, and have no right to laugh at each other's stains. Mr. Reed, on behalf of Nickoll, said that Mr. Hubbard, one of the creditors, bad himself received several thousands from the bankrupts on other speculations. The Commissioner, in giving juent, said—The bank rupts' transactions have been entirely confined to a clads, cad that Clain considers the transactions legitimate, although the great mass of mankind, I believe, would hold them to be illegitimate. At the Baltic Coffee-house gambling of one de scriktion may be considered as legitimate, and almost as meritorious, as some years ago gambling at Crockford's would have been considered. I was at a loss for an in stance—l hope it is from the iir:noved stated society—but I know not what place 1 could cite ea the sue- Gasser to Crockford's. I hope it is not the Baltic Coffeehouse. But here they are all the memo— " multi idem gesserunt ;" I purposely misquote, and leave out the word " boni." ( Laughter.) In this age nobody out of that charmed circle complains ; possibly no one hair a right to complain. Had it bees a cams of mixed trading, as in those where a bookseller speculated in hops, and a silk-mercer in tallow, the trade creditors would have had infinite right to s:ou had no business to enter into this gam bling" Bat when they are all gamblers I do not see they have any parti cular right to accuse each other. There is some thing said about two euninuy vessels calling each other names ; I do not think that would be well followed up by the members of the Baltic Coffee-bone calling each other gamblers. I then case to consider whether, sup posing that all this trade was of a legitimate nature, it wee carried beyond fair limits. I think that it was, even supposing that. The figures are exceedingly large : the extreme in crease of their transactions immediately before the bank ruptcy cannot be justified. It id not my practice to make a difference between partaers ; they are bound to look after each other. There is nothing in which one can be consi , dared more culpable than the other. I shall put them on the same footing. I think the justice of the awe will be satisfied with a moderate of the certificates—for nine months from the 14th kit e the dcy when they were ready to par their bat eitensinatann; the certificates when granted to bed the MOW class. THE POLICE COURTS. Juuummtoucacarkrzr. Viaconnt Milton, of No. 4, Grosvenor-la:pure, appeared to answer the charge of having by false pretences obtained possession of a pair of diamond earrings, value 1001., pledged by Madame ltechael, of 47, New Boad•street, with Mrs. Stephen, pawnbroker, No. 35, Breweretreet. }lie lordship was placed ia the dock appropriated to ordinary prisoners. Mr. Sleigh, instructed bp Mr. Neat*, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection Society, appeared for the prosecu tion • Serjeant Ballantine, instructed by Mr. Lewis, pie , attended for tba defence ; end Mr. Metsmalfa, instructed by Mr. Wootner, attended on behalf of the owner of the ear . fir. Knox, before the proceedings commenced, remarked that when the cue was before him last week the gentle man who conducted the defence endeavoured to open a woo of fraud against • person not porn, sod a state meet bad got into the papers pnejudicisi to this person. He wished, therefore, to state, before the mos mat further, that the charge of fraud had been imported into a etas sad not supported by the evidence. As the press had given publicity to the charge, he bad no doubt that the denial by Madame Racihael, or 14111111801:1, would reach the public the Num way. Mr. Richards, for Madame R•ohael, said his client's name 1111111 Ream' Levinson, but skis traded by the name 01 BschrL . - .

The conductof the deka. dint bad no doubt been indiscreet, but be was bound to say then was uo evidence of any felonious or guilty Salentine in what bad been done, and under all circumstance his clients bad sanctioned his statement that they propped to withdraw from the prosecution. Mr. &rime Mantes was not surprised at the cones his learned friend had taken in this matter, and it would not be impertinent to menthe that Lord Milton had been in ill health, and that on the occasion in question be acted on the belief of justification well or ill founded, bukwkiich, as a man of the world, he (Mr. }labialise) was bound to say could not be justified, as there was no doubt Lord Milton had been much mistaken in the course he had adopted, acting indeed, as he had done, under the inflows of a female much older than himself. lie had no difficulty in admitting that his lordship had acted with indiscretion, and also that his learned friend bad adopted the course best cal calated to spare the feelings of those who were deeply in terested in the matter. The fine question when instructed in this case which he had put was whet was the state of his lordship's aeons t at the London and Westminster Bank, and he wall informed that hie lordship had a large credit at the beak, and that the manager was in court to prove the fact. The imputation of fraud was therefore com pletely at an end. lie considered that the parties prefer ring the charge had acted in a very proper manner in with drawing from the prosecution ; and in reference to what had been previously stated in defence by Mr. Lewis, be would remark that Mr. Lewis had been very imperfectly and hastily instructed. Mr. Lewis remarked that he had only obeyed instructions in the course he had adopted. Mr. Knox—The case of alleged hand against Madame Rachel was opened on the former examination, but had not been proved. With respect to the charge before ma, I can assure you, Lord Milton, if I had come to the mock sion that your lordship had any guilty intention with re ference to the ponseasion of the earrings, I should have sent you at once for trial, but my belief is there was no guilty intention. Yon are young and inexperienced, and evidently require good guidance ; and I wish to remind you that, considering your station, you are pre-eminently bound to obey the law, as your station will not protect you from the consequence, of violating the law. The earriap will of course be given up to the pawnbroker. The act was the act of a foolish person, and therefore you, Lord Milted, ea discharged. Lord Milton then left the court with his friends. SPOBTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. FRIDAY. The most sucoenful and interesting First Spring Meeting held at Newmarket foe many years was brought to an end ing post, amidst clouds and storms. Early in the 'semis; rain fell in torrents, but theaky brightened before the first race (11 o'clock), and hopes of a fine day were entertained. Those hope', however, were fallacious, for about two o'clock a heavy storm of hail sent the visitors to the Heath scamp ering to seek the very scanty shelter which the refreshment booths afforded. The rain was of brief duration, bat quite sufficient to drench to the skin those pedestrians and 'quer Sian, who, deceived by the bright sky when they quitted the town, had not taken the precaution to provide them selves with overcoats. - - The rung was far beyond a " last day's" average, and in deed the supply of it during the week was so large that the policy of restoring the long-abandoned Second Spring Meeting may be seriously considered by the Jockey Uub. The sport was remarkable for close finishes, and the meet exales: heats., and under these trying circumnances the ' (Mr. Clark) ought to be not a little grati fi ed that his • were not mice cavilled at, even by the losers. The peccesdhop throughout were conducted with that efficiency and regularity In which the Newmarket staff of officials are so well experienced. Special mention must be made of Mr. 11• George, whose signing caused general satisfaction, some times not commingled with astonishment at the promptitude and order with which he got large fields of horses from the pest. The subloined return of the racing will suggest the comments required on it.
