IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY, JUNI 15. Their lordships met at Ave o'clock. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. Visoount STRATFORD, in answer to an appeal from the Earl of Clarendon, which represented that the effect of a diacuerion ca the subject might be injurious to the public service, postponed his notice of a motion for papers re the Danubian Principalities. THE LAW OF CAPIT NT AL PUNILL.SMMT AMEND- ME BI Upon the recommittal of the Law of Capital Punish ment Bill, Lord St. Laotian* took occasion to urge several objections against private executions, and argued that the deterrent, and consequently the beneficial. influence of capital punishment would 'be diminished by a departure from the present system of public executions. The Dale of Richmond and the Lord Chancellor, on the other hand, agreed that, however beneficial public trials might be, public executions were objectionable : and Lord Dununrurged the adoption of precautions to insure the efficacious application of the capital law, incidentally re marking, as an Irish grievance, that the only skilful hang man was an Englishman, who was never sent over to per form his duties in Ireland. Lord ROMNEY favoured publics executions as public trarninp ; but The Bishop of OXFORD took a different view, doubting the deterrent effects of public executions. Upon a division, the clause empowering private execu tions was agreed to by 75 to 23. After some further discussion upon details, the bill passed through committee. The Prosecutions Expenses Bill and the Charitable Trusts Deeds Enrolment Bill were severally read a third time end passed. Their lordships adjourned at twenty-five minutes to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, Jrsis 15. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Cork and Youghal Railway ; Gaslight and Coke and City of London Gaslight and Coke Companies; Llantrixsant and Taff Vale Junction Railway; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Chatham Dockyard Branch) ; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (New Lines, &c.) ; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Various Powers); North British Railway (Glasgow Branches) ; North British Railway (New Works, &c.) ; Pembroke and Tenby Railway; Berwick shire Railway. WINDING-UP ACTS: Mr. SHERIDAN gave notice that on Tuesday next be should ask the Attorney-General whether there is any plan in contemplation by which the business, already very heavy, which has to be attended to by the chief clerks and other officials of the various Chancery courts. and which is likely to be augmented to a very great extent by the pend ing applications under the Winding-up Acts. can be aided and assisted ; and whether, if any aid is afforded by the appointment of extra officers, it is in contemplation to seek the assistance of the leading accountants who are appointed by such courts in winding-up cues. TWIR ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. In repl y l to Sir W. HEATIICOTE, Mr. C LERIDGE said it was his intention to move the third reading of this bill on the 3rd of .July next. THE LANDED EsTATEs COURT. Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether Judge Longfield had notified his intention of re 'signing his judicial situation in the Landed Estates Court ; and whether any and what changes in the constitution of the court were contemplated consequent upon such resigna tion. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that some correspondence had taken place between the Irish government and Judge Longtield, in the course of which the learned judge had given them reason to believe that he would not continue to hold for any lengthened period the office he so ably filled, but as yet he had given no positive intimation of his inten tion to resign. The correspondence had not, however, yet terminated. --------- THE LATE BANK FAILURES. Mr. HODGKINSON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in order to mitigate the inconvenience arising from the recent failures of banking and discount companies, her Majesty's government would bring in a bill to enable the official liquidators of such companies, when in course of liquidation under the Joint Stock Companies Act, to issue to depositors and other creditors certificates of indebtedness, and to render such certificates, and the debts thereby certified, transferable by indorscinent. Mr. M. GII3SON replied that the object intimated by the question was that the government should bring in a bill to create a new class of securities transferable by endorsement, and of a kind at present unknown to the law. The question had been duly considered, and he had not been able to satisfy himself that any sufficient ground bad been made out for exceptional legislation in respect of these particular companies alluded to, namely, banking and discount companies, while undergoing liquidation under the Joint Stock Companies Act. The official liqui dator would not be in possession of the whole state of the aocountas between the creditors and the company, so as to be able to give a certificate of indebtedness which would be reliable, until the winding-up was complete. Under these circumstances, he was not prepared to bring in a bill to effeet the object mentioned by the hon. gentleman. THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—THE LATE OF DISCOUNT. Mr. GRANT, in rising to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether, if the Bank of England was to reduce their rate of discount below 10 per cent. per annum, the power granted to them by the government letter of issuing a larger amount of notes than is fixed by law would cease, said that, as he understood the nature and import of the letter, power was granted to the Bank of England to issue a larger number of notes than the directors were autho rised to do by the charter, provided they charged 10 per cent. as the rate of discount. A resolution WWI agreed to by the court to the effect that they had raised the rate to 10 per cent. to inert the exigencies of the case, and the hesitation of the Bank to reduce the rate was not so much owing to its position as to their impression that the letter would be at once at an end if they reduced the rate below 10 per cent. He wished, therefore, to know if the letter would be null and void as soon as the rate of discount was reduced below 10 per cent. The CHA.NCELIOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question was one of very great importance, and he would endeavour to give a clear and explicit answer to it. The questionsupposedthat the Bank of England obtained power by the government letter to issue a larger number of notes than that fixed by law. Now, no power, strictly or properly so called, was granted or conveyed by the govern ment letter. The letter was an engagement on the part of the government in a certain contingency to make a cer tain application to parliament, and that was the whole effect of it. The goveniment of themselves had no power in the matter, and therefore they were unable to convey it. He construed the question as amounting to this—whe ther or not the engagement so contracted by the govern ment would be in force in the event of a reduction in the Bank rate of discount to a lower rate than 10 per cent. That simply turned upon the interpretation of the document, and nothing elee,and the bon. gentleman was entitled to ask what construction the government put upon the document for which they were responsible. To that question he would reply. It was quite plain the letter applied only to advances made at a period when the rate of interest was not less than 10 per cent. That did not admit of a doubt. The engagement was limited to a period when the Bank continued to charge 10 per cent. for its advances. He distinguished the ques tion of the construction of the document from the ques tion of policy. If the Bank of England found its circum stances such as to warrant it in reducing the rate of inte rest below 10 per cent., the letter would cease to be in force, and so also would the engagement. But if he were asked what the view of the government would be upon any subsequent circumstances under which the Bank of England might find it necessary to rain the rate of inte rest again, his answer must be that such an event must be considered a new event, and be dealt with upon its merits, upon the same principle that governed the administration in all similar contingencies. ACCOMMODATION TO MEMBERS IN THE HOUSE. Sir G. BOWYER renewed the complaint made earlier in the session of the inadequate accommodation provided for members in the house, and dwelt feelingly on the many inconveniences which they had suffered this session from the difficulty of finding seats ; and after a short dis cussion on the inopportuneness of the question, Mr. COWPER stated that the present size of the house and the extent of accommodation had been fixed after full consideration, and the government bad no intention of proposing any alteration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that morning sittings would begin on Tuesday next. A discussion on the Sugar Duties was started by Me. BARCLAY, who explained the practical incon veniences in the manufacture and the disadvantages to the consumer entailed by the sliding scale of duties, and ad vocated a uniform system, with perm isrion to refine in bond. Mr. J. B. SMITH anticipated that Mr. Gladstone would find out that ho had made a great mistalce, as the result of which, though the largest consumers in the world, we were compeller, to consume the worst sugar. The caAANcELLoit of the EXCHEQUER defended the system of classification, and mentioned that the In ternational Congress lately assembled on this subject had I come to the conclusion that our principle—to tea sugars as nearly as possible in proportion to their capacity for yielding pure sugar—was in conformity with free trade. Experiments were being made, at the instance of the congress, which were about at an end, the probable result of which would be to recommend a contraction of the present scale. When those experiments were concluded, it would be the duty of the government to consider them, and, if necessary, to raise the whole question early next session. Mr. BRIGHT thought the best solution would be the total abolition of the duties, which could be done in a few years, by the gradual reduction of expenditure and the natural increase of the revenue, which Mr. Gladstone had put at 2,000,00 W. a year. Speaking of the scheme for the .1 THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY reduction of the national debt, he said he should be satis fied if it were only not increased. Mr. CAVE recommended that the duties should be re duced so low that • sliding scale would be of no im portanoe. After some observations from Mr. Caffß-Ewrffd, Mr. EWART moved an address to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to cause to be placed within the precincts of the hones • bust, offered by his widow, of the late Mr. Hume, accompanying his motion by a sketch of Mr. Hume's career, and an enumeration of the numerous public questions in the settlement of which he had borne a prominent part. The motion was supported by CoL Sykes, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. 3l'Laren, Mr. Had fi eld, and Mr. W hite ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in acceding to it on the part of the government, passed an elaborate eulogy on Mr. Hume's character and achievement. Mr. C. FORTE CUE gave some explanations (in reply to a question from Mr. Synan) as to the treatment of the Fenians imprisoned in Limerick Gaol under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, and after a short discussion on this subject, Mr. M. GIBSON (in reply to Mr. Otway) stated that he intended, at some future time, to reintroduce (with amend ments) the bill which had been thrown out in the Lords to enable companiesto divide their capital into a greater num ber of sham, but at present he was not prepared to go the length of agreeing to a bill allowing them to alter their original memorandum of agreement to the extent of dimi nishing the amount of their registered capital. After one unsuccessful attempt the house was counted out at ten minutes before 8 o'clock, while Mr. T. Cham bers was bringing under its attention some matters con nected with the Cape railways. !Lido NuttMania. THE SUMMER CIRCUITS. CROWN Oman, lOU 16 1863.

UNITED LAW CLERKS' SOCIETY. —The thirty fourth annual dinner of this society was held yesterday evening at Freemasons'-tavern. There were nearly 300 clerks present and about 60 guests, including the Lord Chief Justice, the Hon. Mr. Denman, M.P., Mr. Powell, M.P., Mr. Millward, Q.C., Mr. Keene, Q.C., Mr. Webster, QC., Dr. Cookson, Sc. The rising of Mr. Justice Lush, the chairman, was greeted with prolonged and enthusiastic cheering, and the young gentlemen composing the com pany no doubt threw an additional vigour into their plaudits on remembering that his lordship was once a clerk himself. After the loyal and patriotic toasts bad been pro roved , the chairman gave " Prosperity to the United Law Clerks' Society." The society was slowly progressing, and its usefulness was becoming more widely felt and appreciated. It consisted of law clerks of all branches of the profession, and its design was to enable them to make provision for themselves and families in ill ness, old age, permanent affliction, or death. During the year 38 members had been relieved in sickness, at an ex penditure of 303/. The society had granted 6,6991. for sickness, 3,9701. in pensions, and 10,992/. in assurances on death. During the past year the receipts on accountof the general fund had been 3,004/. The members themselves had contributed 1,794/. during the year. Since 1832 the society had distributed32,463l. in ameliorating the afflictions and adding to the comforts of the humbler members of the profession and their families. The expenditure during the year had been 1.718/. The chairman, in commenting upon these facts, mentioned that the greatest portion of the members were solicitors' clerks, and both of them and barristers' clerks he could say he had always been charmed with their candour. truthfulness, fidelity, and zeal. Chief Justice Cockburn, in responding to the toast of " The Lord Chancellor and the other patrons of the society," proposed by the Hon. G. Denman, was received with loud and long cheering. After acknowledging the warmth of his reception, he proposed the health of Mr. Justice Lush, whom he highly eulogised, saying there never was a more honourable career in the profession, and never was ad vancement more deserved than his. (Loud cheers.) During and after dinner a choice selection of operatic music was performed by a band under the direction of Mr. J. Saunders t and between the toasts there was singing by Miss R. Henderson, Mrs. P. Whytock, Mr. W. Dawson, Mr. Montem Smith, Mr. H. Buckland, and Master Brown. Mr. Spencer, the tavern toastmaster, officiated. Towards the close of the proceedings subscriptions were announced to the amount of 40W. Although the resources of the hotel were taxed to the utmost by the unusually large company, there was no stint of accommodation or attention. " A good family medicine chest, with a prudent ems, has saved many a life : and yet we think the idea might he improved upon. and reduced to a more simple form. Take some good compound. such as Cockle's Antibillous Pills, and we find that the desired end may be obtained without seals+ and weights, or little mysterious compartments, and enchanted bottles with crystal stoppers. Others might be used, but Corkle's Tills, as tested by many thousandsot persons, and found to snorer their purpose so well, may be set down as the best."--Obeeryer.— LAArertisernatt.l COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Jras 15. —-- - - After term Nisi Priui sittings at Westminster.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries.) CHATFIELD AND WIFE r. COMERFORD AND ANOTHER. The further hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Ribton were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Baßantine, and Mr. Metcalfe were counsel for the de fendant. A number of policemen, and several 'servant girls who had lived in the plaintiffs' service, were examined, and deposed to the disreputable character of the house. Mrs. Chatfield was recalled, and denied most of the damaging statements which had been made by these witnesses. After the learned counsel on both sides had addressed the court, The jury returned a verdict for the defendants. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-JUNE 15. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE T. E. FRANKLYN. The bankrupt was a silk merchant of St. Paul's-church yard. He had also carried on business in partnership with persons named Ellsworth and Selby, in Lime-street, and at Lyons. The aggregate liabilities are 63,700/., with an estimated deficiency of 58,0001. From the report of Mr. Edwards, the official assignee, it appears that the bankrupt's own liabilities amount to 16,0721., with estimated assets of 3,803. His expenditure is stetted at 1,5001. a-year for the two years preceding the failure. He attributes his bankruptcy to losses in the firm of Selby and Franklyn. The liabilities of that firm are not less than 39,476/., with assets of 205/. only. The firm of Franklyn and Ellsworth have incurred liabilities of 8,2031., and their estate shows assets of 1,039/. Mr. Munns, for the assignees, stated that three separate accounts had been filed representing the three firma with which the bankrupt had been connected. Mr. Phelps, representing creditors of the firm of Selby and Franklyn, wished to have detailed accounts of the deficiency of 39,000/. shown on the firm of Selby and Franklyn, and also of the deficiency of 12,0001. on the bankrupt's own estate. His Honour said that the creditors were entitled to those accounts, and directed an adjournment for the purpose. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) Christian Olifius and Ellen Houghton surrendered to take their trial upon the charge of unlawfully taking a young girl, named Elizabeth Toney, from the custody of her father without his consent. The two cases were gone into at great length, occu pying the attention of the court until nearly nine o'clock, but as the principal facts have already been given in our police intelligence, it is not necessary to repeat them here. Both the accused were found Guilty, but were recom mended to mercy. The learned judge, after observing that he did not believe that Olitius • intended to debauch and destroy the prosecutrix and thus bring misery upon her parents. sentenced him to two months' imprisonment, and Ellen Houghton he ordered to be imprisoned for one week. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) James O'Hara was indicted for feloniously assaulting and abusing one Johanna Casey, and John Woods, John Buckley, and Isaac Moore were indicted for aiding and assisting O'Hara in the commission of the said felony. The four prisoners were stalwart young men, described as labourers, their ages varying from 20 to 23 years. The case having been heard, The jury retired, and, after an absence of nearly an hour, returned a verdict Acquitting Moore, but finding O'Hara, Woods, and Buckley Guilty. The jury accom panied their verdict with a recommendation to mercy of Buckley, on the ground that he wee less culpable than his companions. Mr. Justice Byles, addressing O'Hara, said he had been most properly convicted of the crime of rape, and his offence was aggravated by the existence of a clear conspiracy with the two other men to effect hie object, which ren dered it impossible for the young prosecutrix to offer any resistance to the outrage perpetrated upon her. The sentence upon him (O'Hara) was that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of twelve years. With respect to the prisoner Buckley, he had been convicted of siding and assisting in the perpetration of the offence, but the court would give effect to the recommendation of the jury, and the sentence upon him was that he be kept in penal servi tude for the term of five years. As to the prisoner Woods, there were circumstances in his case which induced the court to take a more lenient view. He had endeavoured to make some amends for the crime he had committed by offering to marry the prosecutrix, and if that had been done his position to-day would have been very different. As it was the sentence was that he also be kept in penal servitude for the term of five years. Eden Forester, 60, widow, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Venable, otherwise Sloman. Mr. Daly appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. M. Williams and Mr. Straight, instructed by Mr. Ricketts, of Frederick-place, Gray's-inn-road, defended the prisoner. Mr. Daly. in opening the case to the jury, stated that the deceased Mrs. Sloman was a married woman, and the mother of seven children. It seemed that on the 2ith April last she was living in apartments at No. 8, Barns bury-grove, and from something she had heard she went to the residence of the prisoner in Bedtorough-street, being then four months gone in the family way, and applied to the prisoner to assist her in procuring abortion, and paid the prisoner N. for that purpose. The prisoner took the deceased to a room in the upper part of the house, and there operated upon her for the purpose stated. From this operation no ill effects appeared for a day or two, but at last the deceased was seized with the pains of labour, and a miscarriage followed. Serious symptoms ensued, and a medical gentleman, Dr. Augustus Brown, of Belitha-villas, Barnabury-road, was called in, but despite his efforts she died, and on a post-mortem examination, being made by Dr. Brown and another medical gentleman, it was ascertained that death had been caused by some violence used to the womb. The learned counsel added that the principal evidence in the case was that of the dying declaration of the deceased, which he would not detail, but wait till it could be produced and read after the technical proof re quired by law that at the time the statement was made k the deeased knew that she was about to die. • Owing to the absence of a witness, Dr. Brown, the ease re was adjourned till this day, and the jury were escorted by the officers of the court to the London Coffee-house for at the night. be ATROCIOUR CHILD Mt RDER.-011 Thursday night a young man s 28 years of age, named William John Turner, of 41, Nottingham-ertreet, Sheffield, cut the throat of his infant child, only nine weeks old, with a razor, in a fi t of drunken rage, and then called a cab, had himsel f driven to the town-hall, and surrendered on the charge of commit ting the crime. THE ' EVENING, JUNE 16, 1866. 1UBT& THAMES. Edward Braes, a stonemason, came before Mr. Paget to complain of an assault committed upon him by a polies constable of the K division named William Cosine. Inspector Roberts, of the K division, said that a sum mons granted by the magistrate for the attendance of the comb-hie to answer the complaint of Bruce had been read to him and served upon him and that he absconded on Thursday afternoon. The Commissioners of Police would prosecute Cosine for leaving the service without a month's notice. Brace said—On Sunday afternoon last, between the hours of two and three o'clock, I was resin over the swivel -bridge of the London-dock in Old Gravel-lane. St. Gemv's-in-the-East, when a young lady made some inqui ries about her servant, who was missing, and who she am peoted had committed suicide. Two young men offered to assist in her inquiries and direct her where to find the dock watchmen and officers. A police-constable, No. 274 K, who was drunk, came up, and offered his services, which the young lady declined, and he trod on her dress, and drew her back on his breast. The dress was torn to pieces. I said to the policeman, " Hold up, old chap," and was assailed by him with the most foul abuse and threats. I told the policeman he ought to know better, and that he was drunk. The policeman repeated his abuse, and said, " Was you never drunk ?" I was followed down the street by the policeman, and bullied in a moat fearful manner. I said, " This is rather hard dumplings to be treated in this manner by a peace-officer ;" and my boys becoming alarmed went for their mother, who tried to pacify the constable, but he continued to act in a most uproarious manner, collected a disorderly crowd in the street, and challenged people to fight. I told the constable he was a disgrace to the coat he wore, to which he replied that he did not care a for the coat, pulled it off, and gave it to another man to wear, with the belt attached. The policeman then laid his fist on my nose, and said he would crush me. I then ran to the station-bonne in Green bank, Wapping, to lodge a complaint, and while there the policeman came in without his coat, insulted me again, and was advised by another constable to go to bed, and he did so. • Mr. Paget—Do you know anything about this, Mr. Roberta? Inspector Roberta—No doubt, sir, what the complainant has said is true. The particulars have been reported to the commissioners. Mr. Paget said he would grant a warrant for the appre hension of the offending constable. It was important not only for the complainant, but also in the interests of public justice, that the case should be fully investigated. It was requisite that the police should be treated with re spect, and on the other hand that if there was any miscon duct on the part of a member of the force, he should be punished. The warrant would be granted without pay ment of the usual fee, and he hoped it would be promptly executed. PROM LAST NIGHTS GAMMA.

Of the eleven colliers mentioned yesterday as supposed to be cut off from all possibility of escape, it ap. pears that six made their escape by other than the ordi nary roads to the bottom of the shaft. The other five were dead and shockingly mutilated. This reduces the number estimated as having perished in the mine to 37. Although the rules for the working of the mine were strict as to the use of locked Davy lamps, there was, practically, much , laxity in the enforcement of the rules, and boys occasion ally are said to have used candles, the flames of which bad nothing to protect them. It is also a current report that the firemen in this mine, instead of having simply to go through the workings to examine as to the state of the air, and report as to the safety of them for the colliers to work in, had the additional duty of replenishing the fur nace fires, which would impede their progress. If this was so, it was a reprehensible practice, because, the first thing in the morning a strict examination into the safety of the mine for working porpoises is of the utmost and most immediate importance. Such rumours as . _ these, however, will no doubt be thoroughly sifted at the coroner's inquisition, which is to be opened, for the purpose of identifying the bodies, to-day, to facilitate the granting of certificates of burial The main inquiry into the cause of the explosion will be adjourned till some day next week, The colliers who volunteered to go down the mine after the explosion and search for the dead bodies—always a work of danger as well as diffi. culty—are reported in this case to have exhibited great courage and untiring energy. The colliery bank was crowded all day by great numbers of people, among whom were the wives and children, the sisters and brothers, and relations of the sufferers ; many of them exhibited great emotion, and the scene was of the most heartrending and pitiable description. Among the dead is George Phillips, the underlwker, who had general charge of the works un derground, and whose duty it was to see that the drift ways were free from any explosive gases before the oolliers went to work. It is said that 386 lives have been lost in this mine since it was opened five years ago. In some of the mines at Dukinfield much greater loss of life than this is reported to have taken place. In fact these great explo sions, though they cause a great sensation at the time of their occurrence, are well known to colliers as causing a small portion of the mortality almost constantly going on from various causes in coal mines.

Shipp* yam have been very quiet to-day, and there has been little dispel. tion among buyers to operate. Prices are weaker, without much alteration generally ; but this branch of the market closes very tamely. Home-trade yarns are also very quiet, without much business offering ; and prices are slightly in favour of buyers. Without much animation in cloth the market has continued moderately firm at the rates of Tuesday ; but where manufacturers have stocks on hand there is some inducement to accept offers on easier terms. Manufacturers as well as spinners appear to be well engaged to order, and these rather than any current bud nem offering tend to sustain prices.
