She had from a child byteeg religious, and of late had been led away machine:ion. of thine about her, and imbued to leave her h one end Si- to the Abode of Love," in Botainsetshire. She left for that place shout three with, ago. Bhe had no moon, and no property, except the fur niters in the house, and that was now being geld under the surveillance of • eobbl-r, named Goldsmith, living at 2t, Spring-aced, and who accompanied Miss Hilton to Somer selehire, but had since "...urned, oily, as he said, "to re main here a season." It was to prevent the selling of the goods, and the trausmierion of the gooney to the Ammeter e, that the applicant apponned to the bench. As the brother of the delude.% woman, in felt it is du'v to do so. Mr. Car patter, the sitting registries, regretted that he had no power to act in the matter. Miss Hilton Might do as she pleased with her own penperty, and her brother had no riga% to interfere.—Brighturs Guisrdson. ATTEMPTED 3IVIDEIt •ND SUICIDE.—On Monday Ism an attempt at murder was made in the village of lik ing', is Cassbriolieshirs. Robert Norman, a labourer, re sided with his wife at Indian ; sad Sarah Ann Pitch, who is the deiight, r of his wile, by a former marriage, lived with them. For some time past the wife had had suspicion of an improper connection existing between her kushand and her daughter, and, oa the day in question, her sus picions had been ein fumed. In consequence, it was erring. d that the daughter should leave the house. While etie was making preparations for doing so the man e behind her, and cut her throat with • large clasp knife. Apparently thinking that he had takes sway thr Itte ot his victim, Norman inflicted a severe wound on himself, by cutting hie own throat with the same • ; but it is nit thought that the wound is of inch a de scription as to endanger Its lite. He has been committed to take his trial for wounding w ink latent to murder; but should the death of the poor girl he toe result of the wound ialicted area her, the prisoner will no doubt be control ted to take his trial fur wilful murder; awl, as the business of the mummer anne for the county is concluded, he will have to remain in prime for about six months before trial. Yes teeday the girl was in • wily precarious state. Tug Coors.—The weather has been very benefi elal to the standing crops in this district (13 irnsley). Since bet Wedseeday's thunder and rain, we hare catty had • MIK4IIIIIiOII of showers and sunshiae, which has dons immense pod to the wheat crops and the crepe in the gardens is and armed Barnsley. We ere sorry to have to state that cm =are becoming more prevalent respecting the potato in this district than we bad a fortnieht ago. The rabic, the last mak has completely revived the turnip crops whom they were sot completely tons. Exusates EMBEZZLVIIENT.—On Thursday last, Goldie was charged at the Police-court, E liebureh, Ceser t with i renier, ea different occasions, between May 4, 1841, red May 3, 1843. embezzled several same of niessey, amount big is all to about 3501., from the funds of the Edinburgh Ledge d. the independent Order of Oddfellows. (India, it mew, had acted as treasure of the society during the space of two years, sad while acting is that capatity rendered himself liable as charged. The defakation, however, was not discovered till Kay, 1843, on the election et a enamor, when Goldie absconded , and notwithstanding that • reward had been offered fur his apprehension, no accounts of his wheraboute reached the police till a few days ago, when it appeared that he was lurking in the neighbourhood, and Is• was appeabseded em Thursday morning.

The English funds today gradually declined 1 per ' cent from the opening prime, which were for Con sols kr account at 93, and f.w money at 921 ; they than pee way for the greaterpart of theday,andwere last done at 921 fur account, and 921 for money, clang, according to the official lists, at 92/ to for money, and at 921 to for account. There was, however, a slight reaction towards the close of busi ness, and according to the opinions of many of the leading men on 'Change, the closing prices might with great correctness be quoted at 92/ for money, and 921 for account. The Three per Cent. Reduced were done at 93 and 921. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 931 and 1.

The followiug appeared in a contemporary of this 20 morning: so A letter was prated to-day at the Stock Exchange. ad- Lou dressed toe broker's firm front the: secretary of theYurk. New cas le, and Berwick Railway Company, to the civet that he 171 has orders to decline to /spider a certaia transfer of stock 5 1 from the name of Mr. Oso. liud e on, It is presumed, there. to fore, that the stock has been ettached, either by the company se or by some other particle baring claims on Mr. Hu'.fon. IS The accounts received from Portugal by the Penin ss sular mail steamer are somewhat jute resting, espe -16 cially on the subject of a modification of our dudes on st port av'ens, by which a more extensive consumption cf ' is Cie pure liquid in this country would be ensured, to 6 the exclusion of the spurious compound sold under 4 :. 'hat name. The system of reciprocity between the sk two government!, as recommeodel by our L ' ebon cor respondent, the P. rtuguese government being will irg u a condition to red - rent the import duties 25 on cur mar.ufactures, would be highly beneficial to ilia c womercial Lterests of this country, and would, ss we bel'eve, by an jut:leased consumption of genuine • wine, lso attended with no diminution of revenue I s under that particular head. It is to be hoped that St. this subject will, without delay , become a 2 st 3 matter of negotiation between the two go- is vernments. We say " without delay " advisedly, E. since we learn by ti.c last accounts folio Spain, pub- 1; liehed in our paper of this morning, that the Cu,toms 12 union bets,. e.i that country and Portugal, to which 14 we on a former occosion reerred, actually occupies too the age lion of the cabinet at Madrid, and will be brou A let before the Cortes next session. It would be i s advisable, tberefore, to obviate any difficulty which 100 each "customs union" might present, by a timely r y treaty with Portugal, thereby insuring an inei eased se • consumption for our manufactures in Portugal at a 1 2 7 0 lowered scale of duty by the admission of their wins ss for consompt hen on similar terms. There is a VOl7 12; 1 general eling in b h countries in favour of this feeling measure, and it is to be hoped it will etc long be car- too e.ed into effect. SO 25 There are accounts from Bahia to the 3rd June. to The weather for the crops was favourable.

He proposed, iustesd of proceeding with this bill to-morrow, that they should wait until the English Bankruptcy Bill came back tram the Commons, in order to see what amend ments had been made, and to assimilate the two hills as closely as p sesible. The Chambe rof Commerce in Dublin, the Bankruptcy Commissioners, and the Irish Lord Chan cellor, were very anxious that the Irish bill should be as much as possible like that intended for this country. After a few words from Lord blotexktoLE, the bill was read a second time. 1111 5 min 13 31 dui. n Ik 1 21 l I Si 9 II I. Ipss.si FL 55 57. 14 lif 11 o pm. 1 PILOTAGE BILL. This bill passed tarough committee, and was reported to the house. COUNTY COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM said he had been desired by one of the County Court judges to state the highly satisfactory reeul: ot the establishment of C,.unty C.Aires. Since the establishment of these courts 1,191,0001. had been paid, or compound , d for, or paid into court, and an amount exceed ing 1,500,h001 nad altogether been disposed ot, whilst more than a sufficient sum had b. en produced by fees to pay the whole ex i .enses of the salaries of the judges end other officers of those courts. It was a most satifactory result of this great experiment. TRUSTEES RELIEF BILL. This WI passed through cemaetitee and was reported to the house. LONDON CORPORATION DILL. On the motion that the house ge jute committee on this bill. Lord REDESDALE presented the petition from the City of L 'melon against it, and said it was a most objection able measure, and cAnplained of the bill being a private ose. The Earl of DEVON defended the right of the parties to maka,this a private bill. Lord REDESDALE said tht bill was of great public im portance, as the constituency to be created by it wouli have to elect the aldermen ; it ought, tilt relore, to he a public bill, and such a pre;edent should not have been established.

POLITICAL OFFENDERS —By Mr. LESLEY. from a place in Oz'ordshire, praying her Majesty to grant amnesty to all political offenders. HUM:AMT.—By Lord D. STUART, from Liverpool and other places, expressing their indignation at the conduct of Austria towari:s the Hungarians.—Col. T oMPSON had the honour to prssent the petision of an °toll" ing public meeting in the City of London, on the subject of the cuntist in Hungary. Though it was signed only by the chairman, David Solomon', citizen and alderman, the numbers and reepeetabiliiy of the attendance were such es to give it high claims to the attention of the house. The petitioners stated their belief that Austria had broken the constitutional obli gations between herself and Hungary, and consequently Hungary had a right to establish her independence if she could, sod ether nations to assist her if it was their interest. They wants d to know, if it was held of importance to sup port Austria es a bulwark against Russia, why Hungary would not do as will, part cularly since Austria invited Russian interference, and Hungary would not. They prayed, therefore, that measures might be taken for the re eognit'on of the de facto government of Hungary, as con sonant with the principles of sound policy, besides being favourable to the commercial - tenets of the country.

Mr. HUME said the house was no doubt aware that they had voted upwards of 700,0001. fur harbours of refuge and Holyhead Harbour. They had no report as to whose direc tion these works were under, and he wished ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer what government department had the management of those harbours. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that different harbours of rouge were under the management of different engineers. Mr. Walker had the management of Harwich, Diver, and the Channel Islands ; and Mr. Rend!. of Holyhead. Mr. HUME said those gentlemen were merely the execu tive officers. He wished to know what government depart ment bad charge of those works. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they were under she charge of the admiralty. Mr. HUME then gave notice that he should to-morrow (this day) draw the attention of the house to the subject, and show that the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer knew nothing whatever about it. (A laugh.) STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. HORSMAN said he believed he should best consult the feelings of the house by moving that the debate upon this question be discharged. Mr. Route and Mr. °surest( objected to the order being discharged. The latter bon. gentleman was about to ad dress the house, when he was interrupted by The SPEAKER, who said tat if there were to be any diecuision upon the question, it must come on after the alien of the day. EMIGRATION. In answer to a question from Mr. MONEIELL, relative to the disproportion in the number of emigrants sent out from Ireland and England, and with regard also to the truth of the statement in the newspapers relative to the treatment of issetain female emigrants, Mr. HAW ES said he assumed that the proportion of emi grating population between Great Britain and Ireland was as 3to 10. He found that up to tbe end of August 33,800 emigrants had been sent out altogether. Of that number, 26,600 were from Great Britain, and 8,200 from Ireland. Three tenths of 33,800 would amount to 10,000, and only 8,000 had been sent out, so that to that extent a dispropor tion did exist. The government, however, were taking active measures to restore the disproportion, and, whereas only 1,786 had been sent out from Ireland in 1848, no fewer than 2,553 had been sent out in the six months ending June last, which would be at the rate of 6,000 a year. He could assure his hon. friend that the matter was under the serious considers tion of the colonial department, and that though there were at this moment 6,000 applications from Great Britain now waiting for decision, the whole of them had been postponed turn the disproportion (meld be made up. With regard to lip seoond question he would observe Mat grievous com plaits had been made of the treatment of certain females by an officer on board the frisbee= emigrant ship. The whole circumstances had bees brought under the Reties of Karl Grey and the authorities at Sidney, end the consequence was that the owners of the ship had been fined 6001. (Hear.) ORANGE PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND. Mr. BRIGHT said on a former occasion the reply to • question which he had proposed upon this subject had been interrupted by the motion on finance of the right hon. gen tleman the member for Stamford. The question had rela tion to recent proceedings in the north of Ireland, and he then asked what course the government hitended to pursue with regard to the fatal affray which had taken place at Castle wellan. Since that affair there had been another dentoestra Lion in the north of Ireland, which in his mind greatly in creased the necessity for the question. The question he asked before was es to what the government were going to do wit the magistracy. But smother circumstance bad occu h rred which demanded attention. A dinner had been given in honor of Mr. Been, who seems to have been chiefly concerned in the procession, and who is a magistrate. At this dinner the high sheriff of the county presided. Mr. Beers made a speech, and an extrar from it is worth notice. He says, " They had only lately celebrated the anniversary of the 12th of July, and each an anniversary it would have been, only for the little blot, if blot he could call it." (Hear, bear.) The speaker went on to say that it was an attempt to destroy the sower veins of the district. The question he wished to put was, what were the precise steps the government were taking in the lemlitter. Toe right hon. baronet would bring in a Pre strike' Act next year, but what wee to be one in the meantime? If these magistrates had been guilty of this breach of the proces sion, they had been partbs to this illegal misting sad they were resposaitele in no sniall =jet what had occurred, and unless government to bosoms a nullity in the north of Ira Land, they diendil be removed at once from the commission of the peace. His hived the Home Secretary would be able to explain Medially what course the government were about to take (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY said that this was the first he had heard of the dieser ; but if the hon. gentleman would favour him with the document which be bad real, it should be trans mired to the Lord Lieutenant of Inland, who no doubt would take each steps ea should be found necessary. He had already announced the intention of the government with regard to a Processions' Act, and he bad amompankd the annomentent he then made, with a statement of what Ilil 1 i is i$ - II pai. $4 - 1 pm. 16 We. 4 4114. 44 db. 11 614. 61 Ws. 21 pm. 4041 db. 9 2 pm. 1( 2 104 19 .. 21.

They added also that the Kaffir war, and all the txpehses consequent upon it, had been undertaken alto gether without their sanction or concurrence. lie wished to know what the government were going to do in the matter. W-•—• Mr. HAWES said he had received no notice of the quea ion ; but he would endeavour to give an answer to-morrow. HUNGARY. L-rd D. STUART wished to tick a question of the noble lord at the head of the Foreign-office. lie had seen it stated en several continental papers that, in consequence ol i an arc ugtmeot between France and Austria, the troops of France were to occupy Ancona eid the neighbouelacol, in or ler that the Austrian troops might be available for the war in Hungary. Vi-count PALMERSTON said that no intimation of such a nature had reached tier Majesty's government, and he had no reason to suppers that there was any foundation for such a report. BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT MEMBERS BILL. Mr. MOFFAT said, as he saw no pr aspect of carrying this bill in the present session, he should cot now further proceed with it ; but should again introduce it early next session. SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. Mr. MACKINNON ssid, that although he had had ma joritics on two tweseions on this bill, yet, considering ti e period of the session, he should with raw the bill. NEW FOREST AND WALTHAM FOREST BILL. This bill was read a third tim , and passed. CUSTOMS BILL. In answer to Mr. HERMES, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the object of this bill was to enable the Custom-house to dis pense with 40,000 documents, in epistolary correspondence, in the course of the year. The am. ndmenU were considered and mad to. SLAVE TRADE (PERSIAN GULF) BILL. . . On the motion that thii hill be committed, Sir E N. BUXTON asked the noble lord the Secretary fir Foreign Affairs shortly to explain to the house the ob ject of this bill. Lorn PALMERSTON said that there was a treaty be twe n this country and the Imaum of Muscat, by which the Imaumprohibited the slave trade to be carried on by his suhjscts, and authorised British cruisers to attack and seize slaves and vessels. A bill for this purpose was carried through parliament last year. There were corresponding treaties %lib certain chiefs in the Persian Gulf, and it was necessary to have equal authotity front parliament to carry out these treaties. Sir E. N. BUXTON—These slaves would then be on the same tooting as the slaves from Africa to Cuba or Brazl were oa at present. Lord PALMERSTON assented. The bill then went through committee. HOUSE OF LORDS COSTS TAXATION BILL. _ . it;;;;inilwas read a third time and passed. NUISANCES REMOVAL AND DISEASES PRE VENTION BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Mr. ItUME observed that the second clause gave great power to the general board of health, or any two of the mem ken. It appeared to him that looking at the great power they were to have, it was throwing great responsibility on any two members. Lord ASHLEY sail that he had to propose four clauses. The two first clauses had only a temporary operation; they were only to extend to the end of next session. The first clause gave is power to the general Board of Health, being assisted by their medical adviser, to cause inquiry to be made into the state of burial grounds, and they might direct measures of precaution. The next clause gave a power, where a churchyard was dangerous to health, to church wardens _to agree for the burial cf parishioners in the ground of any cemetery company, or in the but ial ground of any other palish. But as it appeared vary ies'rable that this subject should at last Ise taken up with a view to some enactment that should pervade the whose country, the board itself would direct inquiries as to the places and the mode and manner in which it might be expedient to prohibit interment within walls. Upon such a report the hoard of health was to frame a scheme fur providing new burial grounds. The scheme was to be prepared, and laid on the table as soon as possible after the commencement of next session. These were the two last clauses. Sir G. GREY took this opportunity of mentioning that he had received two letters as to the statement which had been made as to the burials in the palish of St. Nicholas, in the City of Bristol. Representations, which he ventured to doubt, had been made that the bodies had been exposed, but he now found that not only had they not been exposed, but the greatest care was taken to bury them—the graves were!) feet deep. Mr. lIORSMAN expressed his satisfaction that this matter had been taken up by the noble lord opposite. Col. THOMPSON wanted to impress on the house the general fact that they were approaching a time, when, if something effectual were not done, our crimes and our dirt would run away with us. Tree bill was then read a third time and passed. DRAINAGE OF LANDS BILL. This bill went through committee. DEFECTS IN LEASES SUSPENSION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. MARRIAGES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES FACILITATING BILL. Oa the order of the day for the consideration of the Lords' amendments on this bill, Dr. NIC ROLL urged upon the Roble lord the Secretary for Foreign Attain the propriety of not pressing forward so important a bill at so late a period of the session. Lord PALMERSTON was sorry he could not accede to the suggestion of the hon. and learned member, as the bill was a measure which was necessary to the peace and morality of English females residing abroad. There were many foreign countries In which English families resided, but in which there was no British consul, and parties there washing to marry were obliged to refrain, or to live together in a way which he was sure the hon. and learned member did not contemplate. (A laugh.) The Lords' Amendments were then read and agreed to. ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION IN THE COLONIES On the order for committee, Capt. PECHELL complained that he had been taken by surprise in the case of this bill, the second reading of which had taken place without his knowledge. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the bill was a most necessary and important measure, although merely le'illatiog for a technical question. The house was aware that at present all charges of piracy on the seas were ither tried by Admiralty commissioners or brought to the Old Bailey for trial. Now, as these commissions were ex. pensive, the object of the bill was to provide that pirates taken on the high seas might be tried in the colony to which the capturing vessel was bound. The house went into committee on the bill. On the 3rd clause, providing that governors of colonies might at discretion remit pirates sent to them for trial to another colony, where there was a more efficient tribunal, a short discussion eirued, which was terminated by Mr. BERNAL informing the committee that the clause must be withdrawn altogether, as being beyond the scope of the bill. The clause was withdrawn, the remaining clauses were greed te, and the house resumed. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. On the order for the third reading of this bill, Mr. HAGGITT rose to move as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day three months. Mr. 800 VBRIE taid that the bill had been fully consi dered by a select committee, of which the representatives of Oxford and Dublin Universities were members, and the bill had received the sanction of both those gentlemen. Under such circumstances be could not consent to the post ponement of the bill. Dr. NICHOLL hoped the hon. member would not press his bill at that period of the session. The house was about to divide, when Mr. HAOGITT said that, in deference to the opinions of some gentlemen about him, he would not press his motion. His object was to enter his protest against the measure. The bill was than read a third time and passed. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BILL. On the third reading of this bill being moved, a mum ensued, in the expectation that Mr. Henry would have moved the clause, of which he had given notice, and in which he had already failed, for the purpose of making it a misdemeanour to ride or perinit to be ridden • steeple chase, ►iable to fine and imprisonment. Mr. Henry not being forthcoming the bill was read a third time and paused amidst the liveliest cheep of the lovers of the chase. PROTECTION OF WOMEN BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Mr. ROEBUCK expressed a hope that Mr. Spooner would not endeavour to pass it in the present session. Mr. ANSTEY said that he would move that the bill be nod • third time that day three month., unless the hon. member fur Warwickshire postponed it till next day. (Mr. Spooner declined.) Two new and important clauses had been added which were not yet in the bill, and it was only right that at least a day should be allowed to intervene. Mr. SPOONER consented to omit the words " compensa tion for lees of time," but Mr. ANSTEY persisting, the house divided, when there , appeared For the amendment 22 Against It The bill was then read a third time. On the question that the bill de pass, a discussion took place on the new clause, when it was agreed to strike out the word• " giving compensation for loss of time." Mr. HUME thought it improper to pass the bill in its pre sent form. He did not think they could make people moral by me of parliament, and the question was dm which. if it ought to b• legislated on, should be taken up by the govern ment. After a few words from Mr. Brooms's, in explanation, the bill was passed. BANKRUPT LAW CONSOLIDATION BILL. Ou the order of the day for going into committee ou this bill, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the committee appointed on the Pith of June ha't sat until eerterday, sad had been most wit dims in their labours. lie must, there fore, wok t' a kcuse to receive t' i+ bill scbra•wh cn the faith of that committee, embracieg, as it d.d, tome of the meat distinguished men in that house. The bill came from the other house in the chaps of a code; but it at once occurcd to the committee that it would not be right to return the ' bill in that form without a lengthened investigation. The committee accordingly resolved to put the bill into the shape of an act of parliament ; ant that it would not be reap caul for the committee to send to the bon*. a rew form of legislatios, without much examisation. Witnesses were tzamined, who pointed out what was new in the bill and the bill as it now stood wu principally a consul dation of the old low. Ac it came from the Lords it contemplated several changes, ouch so the making of new offices, which the committee thought it wu not (or them to enter into, being of opinion that if it were necessary to alter the constitution of he court it ought to be done by a separate bill. The committee, therefore, rctained the old establishments of the court withcut sty alteration. The bill instituted new acts of bankruptcy —every secret transfer, for instance, was made an act of bankruptcy. It was the general opinion of the mercantile ie.tereit that the tendency of this provision would be very seriously to in jure trade • and accordingly the committee had rtjected that clause. Another new act of bankruptcy constituted sous that of sufferi , g an execution ; this also had been rejected, as had a provision with respect to supposed and fraudulent trans fen of property. With these ex :eptions the committee had studiously endeavoured to adhere to the old enactments, so as not to unsettle the decisions of the court. Ocher amend ' " • - " - m nts, not of a vital character, had been introduced. He only asked credit from the house on their behalf. Mr. J. STUART expressed his confidence In the com. Etittee, and his belief that they had im?roved the bill. Sir J. GRAHAM, with every wish to give credit to the committee, thought the importance of the measure such as to demand the fullest consideration. The ATIHRNEY-GENERAL said he proposed in committee to point out all the important alterations. The repealing schedule had boen adopted from the Adorneys and Solicitors' Act a■ a convenient form; the committee bad delegated to him the duty of examining it, which be had dons carefully ; and, with one or two verbal alterations, it night be taken as strictly correct. The house then went into committee. Clauses 1 to 5 were agreed to. On clause 6, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL soli a new principle wee introduced in the mode of commencing prom, dings. Instead of petition to the Lord Chainsllor, the petition would las to the Court of Bankruptcy, with an app• al to the Vie.- Chancellor's Court. To this alteration the Lord Chancellor did not object. In answer to Mr. HENLEY, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the remodel. ling of the offices was to be effected by another bill. No new officers were appointed, nor were any additiunai duties de volve,' on existing cfficers, exo-pt on the chief re gi tear, at pet sent a ainecure. By a *ohm quEnc deuce, the , th, p ower was given to abolish two commissio.,erships un the death of the commissioners ; and by the 9th to mike a redistribution of the bankruptcy districts in the country. Sir J. GRAHAM askei if any increase of salaries was proposed, or new fungi-yen for additional duties, as had been done in another court ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there were no new offieers created or new salaries given. Sme fees were re duced, and new modes adopted of charging the heR, by means of stamped rapers issued from the board of Wand revenue. AU tees would go to the funds of the court, and would not be receivable at all by the officers, Pixies, in stead of paying • lumping fee, as at presto:, would pay small fees as the business was done. Clauses 6 to 14 were then agreed to. The ATTORNEY GEN EItAL stated that clause 14 rave power for a special csee to be stated to the Court of Equity, as was now done to courts of law. On clause 20, The ATTORNEY GENERAL st ited that certain duties, including the re-distribution of the business, had biro gives to the senior commis-loner, only because i. must be done by some one. Opportunity bad been taken of reducing the number of registrars in the event of death. Clauses down to 124 were then rapidly passed, tbc chair man simply calling over the number of the elause and pass ing to the next. In the course of the proceedings, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, in answer to ques tions, that in future there would be but one account is bankruptcy, instead of several, as at present. Fees were now paid in money, which had given rise to some dissatisfes. tioo, and hence the provision for their payment thiourea stamped documents. Nu fees at all would be rectiv.d by the officers, the payments being made for the 'gimped do cuments, to the board of inland ream se. This applied to the whole of the proceedings, except to fees on taxation and another proceeding. No claim fur compensation was gives by the hill; it woe simply a re-enactment of the old law. The bill, when it came from the House of Ludo, had com prised provisions relating to the bankruptcy of members of parliament, which the committee had struck out, as not coming within tee scope of a consolidation of the bankrupt laws. Clause GO pr• served the former period of 15 days between the commencement of proceedings and the issuing of a fiat. Clauses 75 and 7G were new ; they made the filing of a declaration of bankruptcy in India an act of bank ruptcy in England. Clause 77 related to private arrange ments by composition deeds, and made the composition deed an act of bankruptcy, of which any creditor might avail himself. Mr. J. WILLIAMS said this clause had excited must discussion in the committee. It was felt a hardship that members of that house who were traders should be placed ia a diffetent position from other members. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that chute 78, re ferring to summons- s in bankruptcy, required that, in addi. tins to the affidavit of a good defence on the merits, parties shou'd give two Securities to answer the claim. But this was left iu the discretion of the commissioners. Chase 86 gave the power of inflicting costa where a party was vexatiously summoned. Clause 9.5 eater fished a register of petitions from the country in the office of the secretary in London. This was new machinery, but would involve no additional expo nse. Clause 112 re ferred to intermediate protection between the surrender and the ccr.i6cate. There were cases where such protection ought not to given, as in the cases of fraudulent debts, de handing the revenue, ffec.; and in these cases the protection was refused. Clause 118 re-enacted a form r ect against the examination on oath of a bankrupt or his wife ; a bankrupt might be examined, and if be made a false statement, he US subject to an indictment for perjury. Clause 120 gave the power of arresting a party about to abscond. Clause 124 was new; where a party admitted a debt, on examination is bankruptcy, under the advice of his attorney, it might be made conclusive evidence against him in an action fur the debt. On clause 160 requiring the bankrupt to swear to the truth of his balance-skeet whenever required so to do, Mr. P. WOOD suggested that the words should run " quired so to do by the court." Mr. MITCHELL objecrd to the addition. The bank rapt was merely required to swear to that which he pre pared himself. After a few words from Mr. WooD, the addition of the words " by the court" was agreed to. Clause 198, relating to graduated certificates, and clause 266, relating to the classification of offences, were agreed to; but, on the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM, who thought that it was at least doubtful whether the power of blasting' man's character should be left in the power of any one mu, it was resolved that they should be considered on bringing up the report. The remaining cl auses and schedules were then agreed to, and the chairman reported progress and obtained leave to sit again on to-morrow (this day). The order of the adjourned debate on Ireland was thee called on, but as no one appeared to speak upon it, lir order was discharged. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, sad the house adjourned at 6 o'clock, till 1 o'clock to-morrow. THE CHOLERA.
