MR JOHN BOANE'S lICSEU M BILL. TIM Duke of BUCKINGHAM moved the secood reading ef this bill. Lord OVERSTONE was far from opposing the bill, but be thought it well deserting of the serious consideration of their lordships. If be understood its object aright, it was to enable the trustees of one of the public museums in this totem to Mil seine of their choicest treater., to the Great Eshibitioe which would be bold this yen* at Kensington. If it was proper that they should do so, it was equally pr , per that the trustees of other museums should follow Sir a example ; hut it seemed to him uoreamonable, at a Mine when an unusual number of foreigners and persons Item the conotrylsrouM be resorting to the metropolis, that its public isetitutions should be denuded of their chief attractions. Besides, although the ailmimion to Sir J. Sueae's Museum was -object to restrictious, with a view to confine it to persons whose real object was study, it was to such perms gratuitous. That, however, would not be the case with the exhibition at Kensington. He believed that a s miler request hail bees made to the trustees of the National Gallery, mad that those geutleruen had wisely considered that the time would be peculiarly inopportune w allow any of the treasures of art which they possessed to be stinured from their own walls. (Hear.) dart GRANVILLE could easily understand the feeling which had induced the Wartime of the National Gallery to refuse the application ; and if it was likely that any number of pers.os would resit Sir J. Soanies Museum in 'the course of the coming season he would admit that the bill would be objectionable. But when their lordship reflected that the number of persons who visited it last year was only ttrin. while those who would go to the Greet Exhibition mii„dit be , feinted by millions. they would probably think it more advisable to snow the Howarth, and GainsLoroughe in the former museum to be removed to South Kensington, especially at a time like the present, whew they mast all dsruc to show off British art to it; zreatest advantage. The bill was then reel a second time. POLAND. The Earl of CARNAtifON 'VW, to call attention to the regent state of Poised, met to inquire of her Majesty's govereineet whether Primes Oortchakors circular latter of the 90th Muth, had been communicated to them. The soldelord hoped the gravity of recent events would bethought by their lordahi peasullicient justification for bringing for we rl the yoestieu, a question which be believed wee one of the good liflicult sad the most delicate that could be submitted to either home of parliament. Of Poland two pictures bad ennetisatly been drawn. Os the cue hand they were per. ritual), reminded of the tesbultwice, the corruption, and the , organised anarchy marked the dec li ne of Polish indereedimos ; and were told that the Poles were too often found acting as agents of democracy, and soon times even skating le its worst excesses. On the other hand, he would be a very cold man that could not feel some sympathy for a high-spirited and pliant people, who. in spite of extraurilinary affliction* and unparalleled national trials, had tever for one moment been shaken in their coot. see. their constancy, and their devotion to their country. (Cheers). It, did not wish, however, to put their case be fere the house as a matter of 'empathy. he would put it ,ether as a matter of interest—of interest to Europe at large. As far as he had studied the question he did not believe that the Polish teatime w..s at the present time ripe for entire imlepimidence, but he thought that they had so far dieciplioed thorn/elves through greet calamities and great trials as to entitle themselves to some extension of cooetitatimal liberty. Ha would be an imprudent man who predicted the restoration ~fr the Polish kingdom a. an iir.pcosibality, but looking at recent events in Europe there win to well-grounded reason for,believiog that such a eontiogeocr would arise at prownit. .tt the some time those who, •kb the best inteatieus, but the worst judgineot, had held different language, soil encoureged the Polish people in Illmory dreams, hail dune poor service to the muse they desired to advocate. Equally for Poland and Ruedla he regretted the continuance of the oresent deplorable state of 'hinge. I Hear. hear.) He regretted the language in which Kumla and her policy had been stigmatised. as she did not ei serve it. It was in light thing for the Emperor of that k.teolons to have undertaken the task of emancipating the setts, mar was it any light thing that the a. , ides sad the groat proprietary classes had se-operated in carrying oat that measure. For many years poet it had been the pomace for the nobles of Reels to meat wined...tally Is assembly for conference, sad the Em peror had note gene go far as to consult these assemblies. Ana place before them matters of the highest national ins pulsar, for the pewee of obtaining their advice. Looking at all them things it was evident that a more liberal view prevailed is Ramie than in fencer years, and he mould not believe that this liberality on the part of the government would be confined to Russia, hot that it would he extended to Poland. Ile had a right to assume that this policy weak! b. luting ; for, looking back, they sew that three seecimeive rulers, the Emperor Alexander, the Emperor Nicholas, aid the present Emperor, bad promised to give • coostitution to Poland.

But at this crisis the ilia-ail:ewes of last year broke forth—disturimoces which been checked hy the officials with undue lOWA yitation sad harshness, although he believed that Prince had no intention to act with cruelty. In regard to the present state of siege, it was nut for him to critieise the memoirs which a government might take to maiutain its own internal tranquillity, but as such a mode of goverolog was of oftemity of • tenire.rary nature only, he trusted that it would soon be considerably miti gated, if Dot slated. The noble earl continued : A very distinguished Pole, but who has leen impended from many of his couotrymen because Le wisher to /retinue in connexion with Russia—the Manlius receurly gave his advice to the Russian Emperor with regard to the beet means of pacifying his counts s.

MILITARY TRAIN. Colonel W. STUART wished to ask the Secretory of State for War whether the Military Train was now • purchase or non-purchase corps ; if the former, to state when and for what reasons the change was mad; ; if the latter, to explain on what principle officers were allowed to exchange from the line into the Military Train, and vice versa ; also, to what extent commission were sold in the Military Train. SizO. LEW ISsaid the Military Train was a purchase corps mow* like the Magary anal cavalry regiments of the line. It was true that many officers in the corps had gained their eseantheions without purchase, but that was Works owing to the feet of its having been formed from the Army Corp., which was not a purchase corps. (Hear, bear.) THE TAEPINGS OF CHINA. Mr. FREELAND wished to ask the Under Secretary of bete for Foretell Affairs whether any communications had bees received from our military or naval officers in acennutnd on the China station, with reference to the clia• rector sod operations of the Taepiugs, or rebels; and whether the govenmeot would lay upon the able of the house, copies of, or extrects from, any such communion tioes. Kr. LAY ARD said the pagers would be shortly laid before parliament. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BELGIUM.

Mr. WALPOLZ rose to more that this house will imme diately resolve *telt into • committee to consider the best mode of distributing the parliamentary 'mute for educa tion now administered by the Privy Caused ; and, in com mittee, to move the following resolutions :-1. Ttat, where it is proposed to give government aid to elementary schools, it is inexpedient that the whole amount of such aid should tispend on the hidividual examination of each child in read and arithmetic. 2. That the system of group • by age taw the purpose of maxikation would be unequal ▪ epsestion, and an of the work done in the Wool. and specially dimiwstagessa for those children whole early educetioe be been segkehed. 3. That the pro. visions of the revised code, in the points referred to in the foregoing revolutions, would, if uoamended, increase the diU Scotty of extending the benefits of the government grants to poor mid neglected districts. 4. That the refusal of any portion of the parliamentary grants. on account of any children who have once puled in the highest dem of 'an imation. is likely to have an injurious effect, as tending to mravate the acknowledged evil of the withdrawal of children from elementary schools at on early age. 5. That it is inexpedient that the capitation Qaate on amount of 'Midis.' antler seven years of age sbooid be made to depend as the Individual examination of those children. 6. That the peovieisms of the revised code with regard to evening schools sew unetisfactory. inasmuch as the master, in many came, would be unable, after the labour undergone in the day, adequately to attend to the management and teaching of the evening scholars. 7. That the regulations contained in the ravised code, with regard to pupil teachers, are unjust and impolitic. R. That it would be unjust entirely to with hold the other benefits of th e parliamentary grant from nub managers of schools as decline to undertake to provide and pay the stipend and gratuities, now severally payable on account of pupil teachers, during the continuance of their current apprenticeship. 9. That it would be impolitic to ran the risk of • return to the snookered system by discouraging the employment of pupil teachers. and that such employment would be better promoted by pecuniary premiums than by pecuniary penalties. 10. That in Jaanary of each year, if the code be revised, or any material altera tion in it be It shall be printed in stash • form as to show separately It cancelled or modified, and all sew articles. IL That, in the event of such revision or material alteration as mentiooed in the last fore going resolution, it shall not be lawful to take thy action thereon until the 'Me shall have been eititted to parliament, and laid on the table of both houses for at least one calendar month. As the government had not thought proper to bring for ward the code in the shape of a bill, he should consider it as if it was • bill, and deal with it now as if it had reached Ike stage of second reading. He did not therefore propose to question the principle on which the code was founded, bat object to the mode ia which it was proposed to carry the principle out. He pointed out that the present system of educatiou was founded on two principles which bad mimed it to flourish and progress—namely, the stimulating, by grants of public money, private and local efforts, and the making religion the basis of instruction; and by this means the four millions and • half of public money which had been granted dime 1828 had been net by private subscriptions amounting to nine millions. La regarded the quantity of education, the MICCSIBB of the system was undeniable, while as regarded the quality, in order to its improvement there bad been introduced the phis which the revised code would destroy, such as train img schools end pupil teachers. No doubt the annual estimate had risen to a large sum ; but the question was whether it was too high for the purple of the education of the people, and before it was determined to cut the grant down on the ground of economy, it wan necessary to see whether economy would be promoted at the o u st of effici ency. The government hail only asserted that the system should be either economical or efficient, but there was no , promise of • combination of the two; sod the government ! was unable to say what the result of the new code would be. He proceeded to point out the advantages of the present *yearn voliudery effort, religious teaching, I discipline, and the pupil teacher system, all of which he contended were put in peril by the new code. The main defects of the system on which the code was forward was that elementary education was not sufficiently advanced, and it was proposed to meet this by establishing • lower elms of masters. The testa which were established by the code went to nen ' teethe and cause to go for nothing all that was done which woe good and beneficial in the induct of schools, unless they came up to an arbitrary standard. All tiaras and denominations of religion objected to limit the test of the results of schools to a single examination, and the grouping of children according to age. He urged that all the evidence showed that the existing system had trained children to • vast extent to become good men sad good citizens in • Christian country, rod he prayed the government not to make the public manta depeud on • simgle examination without reference to the actual effects which had been attained. Agreeing in the necessity of simplifying the machinery of national education, he urged that that might be done without de• striving the system itself. He very strenuously and in much detail supported the pupil-teacher system. He then pointed out, by reference to the resolutions which he was about to move, the mode in which he proposed to neutralise the ill effects which he anticipated would flow from the re vised code, as they inked the bongs to negative the portions of the code to which they applied. In conclusion be mid— i wish it to be noderstood, that when in future greet change. are made io mutational system of education. they shal not be concerted, aa it were, in private—flood cheeriugl—and published when parliament is not sitting. I wish it to be understood that the Committee of Council is • depanesert of the government entrusted with important administrative functions; but that legislative autho rity is not conferred upon them. Legislative authority has been assumed here, anal I hope that legislative authority will never be allowed to be resumed again. (Cheers.) Had this not been done, 1 believe the agitation of this question would not have been one-half what it is at present. 1 do not Marne the right lon. gentleman for having devised this plena. With the report of the commissioners before him he was not only entitled. but it was his duty to have framed • plan. (a Mvernmeut cheers.) Neither do I blame him for having announced his plan in the autumn. On the other band, I think • great good has resulted from its having been canyeased. What 1 do blame is, not him, but the system which his bees attempted to be forced opal us. I de find fault with any system which enables ministers, without the authority of either house of parliament to hems mounrea which have, in fact, a vast legislative laqoarissee without submitting those measures te perlieseek awl without seeing how far they me williag to adopt them. By taking the course yea bele does, you have pieced the house, and not this heath =IN but parliament. in a difficulty, from which it is hardly pew aible for us, even now, to extricate ourselves. Thin Isle other mode except that which I have ventured to namely that we should diseum this matter as if it s Z si tt goverment bib that we should go into committee an It with a view of seeing is what respect we can Mane the • T government to eutertaiu the objections which have been so forcibly, I may say so conclusively, urged against it. But the government hoe deprived us of the power of going into committee with the view of framing a measure for them which they ought to have framed for us, bemuse we have no lesesure with which we oould deal. lo moving therefore, sir, *et you go into committee, I do not do so for the pur pose of subverting the code which the right hon. gentlemen Las proposed. Its main objects I evebelie to be right, but the Mode in which they notarposed to accomplished I believe to be wrong. Ido sk you to go into committee to examine any plan of my own. That would indeed be taking on myself, or asking the house to take, the initiative in a nutter which rests solely with the executive govern. ment, which it is for them aloes to prepare, and for which they are alone responsible. Nor do I ask the house to go into committee with a view of outing any censure upon the government. The questiou of education is not, never was, and never ought to be a party ques tion ; sad if I know myself and my own duties, party will have nothing to do with the ‘nestion of this motion. I ask the house to go lot* committee is ex t e n t hat t e rgovernment may tell bow far and to what exet they re intending to alter those Parts of the system of education which have hitherto d so mnah good in the country. lam asking you to go to e mittee in order that every hon. gentleman in this house may press upon the government for explanations which may enable them to put this code in a better shape then it is at present ; and if the house were to require the government to take back the code sad re-amend it, I don't think the country would su ff er much from such a decision. I now beg to wove that you, Sir, leave the chair, for the pupae' I have specified, and for no other porposes, and I trust, when you resume the chair, you will resume it with such resolutions placed in your hands, as that the decision to which this house shall at last arrive on the subject of edu cation may satisfy the expectations and calm the fears of an anxious country ; and then, sir, I believe that your voice will go forth to the country, not with a means which will koalas. the dissatisfaction and discontent which unfortu nudely prevail so much and so extensively here. but with a merge of what I may call peace, justice, charity, and wis dom—(cheep)—of peace. because it will allay an irritation greater than any that I ever remember—of justice. because it will satisfy those who think they are wronged by this homes, who never before kneed a deaf ear to their Pot and equitable claim—el eleetity, bemuse it will still, reendith all that bra limn dose by this hew, orwerege the oss et evientory beenoissee, mad ambles p thisla s ed geed weele al pronet io the ado calks el the to the utmost led of a maw rip of wisdoms, in politio I seie there no wis dom bleier than this—that parlismest sad the goverment sineld strain every nerve and apply even effort, and being to beer all the experience sad knowledge they tea coin ared, In order to provide a sound and vestal education for diem poorer classes of our fellow saltiest* who, althea& baker the level of the direct constitameeles who retunt es kera after all are, and always must he, the min foundation of the state, foundations which Wit Oa be vigorous or sound unless they are laid in a ▪ redgions, industrious, and well-instructed people. rowerbee. gentleman, on resuming his seat, was loudly by the house.) Sir G. GREY said that the government were perfectly ready to accede to the proposal to go into committee of the whole house. Some time ago the government announced their readiness to take this step. The right boa. gentleman (Mr. Walpole) had said he might have framed resolutions condemning altogether the principles and details of the re vised code. If the right hon. gentleman had taken that course, then Le (Sir G. Grey) thought it would have been the duty of government to have resisted the motion for going into committee, without having previously taken the opinion of the house as to whether or not the views of the right hon. gentlemen would be sanctioned by them. But the right hon. gentlemen had avowed his support of the principle of the revised code, and bad repeated that avowal at the elm of his speech in express and distinct terms. His object was, while assenting to the two wain principles of the code, to which he gave his cordial adhesioe, merely to object to the mods in which it was proposed. It wee ob viously inoonveoient to enter. with the Speaker lathe chair. upon the discussion of the details of the resolutions, sad into the minute calculations which the right bon. gentle man had brought under the notice of the house in express ing his views upon this question. The right hon. gentle. man, therefore, considered the present stage of the question as equivalent to the second reading of a ball, assuming that the revised ode bad been embodied in a bill, and laid upon the table by his right hon. friend, when he stated the grounds which bad induced the government to iotroduce those modifications which, after full consideration, they were disposed to adopt. They were now asked to go into committee to consider the details of the measure, and if that', wee the object of the right hon. gentleman, the government were perfectly reedy to meet him in the name spirit when the Speaker had left the chair. (Hear, hear.) At the same time he must express his regret, if they were now to go into committee to criticise and amend the details of a measure, that the right hon. gentleman bad not, in the notice he had placed upon the paper, taken that coarse which members ordinarily followed in giving notice of amendments in committee, and stated in positive terms what were the alterations which he would advise the house to adopt, instead of submitting, as he had done, a series of negativing resolution. He thought it would be immure tient if be were to follow the right bon. gentlemen into details which must come under coesideration when they got into committee, but be hoped that when they did enter upon the discussion of the details the right hon. gentleman would be prepared with something more than these mere negativing resolution ; that he would be able to explain room fully to what extent the principle of testing by results should be applied. lie could not see how velum tary effort would be checked by making the government grant dependent upon the results obtained in the schools; on the contrary, be believed that proof of an efficient and useful education would stimulate voluntary contributions. With regard to discipline, it was not intended that if the children were acquainted nigh the elements of reeding, writing, and arithmetic, the school should receive the fall amount of the parliamentary grant, if deficient in cleanliness, order, and discipline ; but no one. he should think, would propose to limit the examination to those points. The existing system bad the effect of creating too fine a machinery for the work which it was intended to do. No doubt it did an immense deal of good both with respect to the materials of the school and the improvement of the schoolmaster ; but the important point was whether, with regard to the education of the poor, the result had been that which they had a right to expect. One of the objec 7 time taken by the commissioners was that the system bad not reached the poorer districts d the country; but at the same time that was an objection inherent in that part of the system advocated bythe right hon.gentleman, of making the parliamentary pant dependent on voluntary contribu• time, thereby eliciting a vast amount to meet the govern ment grant; whereas the change proposed by the revised code was calculated to meet that evil by loweriug in some in stances the qualification of the master and assisting schools which hitherto had not received government aid. Another *an= urged by his right hon. friend was that the junior syncbed sot been eufficieutly attended to. But the wind owls would induce the master to give greater atten dee to the junior classes, by the system of grouping and in dividual examination, than to children of a more advanced age. The actual instruction given to the younger children wend be shown, and the receipt of the vent would depend OM to a great extent. As to the pupil teachers, he maid net go into details, because they would be more pro perly eansidered in committee ; but he might say that the assumption of his right hon. friend, that the new code tendel to destroy those teachers, was not well founded. That part of the system which had been condemned by the Committee of Council was that which brought the certi ficated routers and pupil teachers into immediate con nexion with the government, and thus produced expecta tions and gave rise to claims which would otherwise not have existed. The question was whether they ought to per petuate a bad system for the purpose of guarding what were said to be vested interests. His right bon. friend (Mr. Lowe) had been entirely misunderstood when be ems represented to have said that one effect of the revised code would be to take away the security against disniissaL What he really stated was, that whereas now they had no fecurity against disinters' with a day's notice, the proposed alterations gave them • security against dismissal, without at least six months' notice, end therefore, instead of in juring, the revised code would benefit the pupil teachers in that respect. He was glad to bear his right hon. friend bad declined, though urged thereto by some of his friends, to make this a party question. He quite agreed with him that the question of the education of the people was one which ought to be above all party considerations Mr. STAN HOPE strongly objected to that part of the proposed plan which made the amount of government aid to elementary schools dependent upon the examination of each individual child. He commented upon the unsatis factory and conflictingavidenco as to the results of educa tion in the schools under the existing system, and upon the injustice of attributing the effects arising from inept larity of school attendance to faults of system. The irre- gularity of attendance, the withdrawal of childen from school to be employed in rural labour, and other evils, were, be insisted, incurable under any system. He was willing to agree to a certain extent in the recommendations of the commissioners. even that each child should I* examined ; but the commissioners nowhere said that the whole my ment should depend upon the examinat ion of each child is reading, writing, and arithmetic. Re pointed out the mis chievous results, in certain eases, likely to attend the work ing of the revised code, and he maintained that it was not fair to teachers to make their emoluments depend upon the individual examination of their pupils. Mr. C. BUXTON fully believed that the new code would not injure religious teaching. but would leave this. as they were now. His firm conviction was that these who wee melons in the cause of education for the waking dense is Eaglsod would not for one moment relax in their labours, even if they were not paid for them. ( Hear, hear.) The heart o f the question was this : was the system properly doiag its work ! It seemed to him that, instead of Lord Granville snd the m ice-President of Education being fit objects of the abuse that had been lavished upon them, they could not too much admire the courage and pstriotism which had halms& them to ad upon the decided declara tions of the oommindoners that the s system was not doing its work.

Now, he entirely concurred with him that there were evils in the present system, and he should join as cordially as the boo. gentlemen would in any wise and well-considered measure to remedy those evils. But he objected to this scheme, not only because It did not remedy the existing evils, but became it left them skit in existence end rather deepened their intensity , and made th em ten 'times more perilous. Mr. FORSTER wished to explain the imams which im pelled him, however reluctantly, to oppose the educational measures of the government (Hoar, hear.) It was generally understood that this question was not to be treated as a party question ; indeed the right hen. gentleman the member for Cambridge Universit had told them so, and the right hon. gentleman had b efore shown the house how, on a question of principle, he mold rise superior to party motives. (Cheers.) Halides his (Mr. Forster's) reluctance to rise in opposition to the government, he disliked opposing the present minute became it was im pcesible to deny that the administration of our educational system did uire some reform. (Hear, bear.) He d, however, s omelittle practical experience the week log of the system, and that experience bad weekend him that the great and sweeping change now contemplated would be not so much • reform as • destruction of the pre heat system, and if not a destruction, at least an aggravation of its evils. He suped a division would take place on the fi rst reso lution. It would be a close division under any circumstances, and could not fail, in such an important matter, to pro duce inconvenient results. This was a very great change, altering entirely the relations between the state sod the officers of education, and also instituting a payment for the results of education instead of making a provision of machinery. Would the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Lowe) force them to a division, because he went so much farther than the royal commissioners? This was a question on which that bonee and great masses of the people were brought face to face. (Hear, hear.) The hopes and aspi rations of the working doses to share still further in the work of legislation very much depended on the amount of education imparted to them. Tbe working classes knew this very well to be the case, and although they had often complained of the burden of taxation, be believed they Lad never complained of the amount asked for an educational gnat. (Hear, bear.) if the right hon. gentleman pushed his resolutions to a division he would mar the good work already dons, sod if be cannon portissoiously to the some. what pedantic requirements of this bureaucratic scheme be would, instead of reforming the system as he hoped, injure, if not destroy it. (Hear, Lear.) Mr. PULLER expressed his conviction that the right how ggsatlemas the Vice-President of the Committee of Geepsid would have acted more wisely if be had allowed the settatry a longer time to digest the report of the commis sioners on which this great change was founded. The introduction of the new code had filled every manager of schools with consternation. How 'may of them bed de clared against the code? How many petitions bad been presented in favour of the code ?

It was not advisable to carry the religious elenseet so far as be had seen it carried in some instanoso He bad sera what might be called a spleen of sacred arithmetic adopted in some of these schools. There were questions of this kind. "There were four evangelists, 12 patnarchs, and 12 apostles. Multiply the number of patriarchs by the number of evangelists, sad divide by the apostles." (LenOter.) "Solomon had so many wives and so many concubines. Subtract the one from the other and state the remainder." (laughter.) This wea sot to teach religion.

A RAILWAY Goons VAN YOH rnit EXHIBITION BUHR IN A DAY. —Yesterday , s loose compan Aalib y of proetical men assembled at the works of Mr. ohn ury the ex tensive railway carriage builder, Openshaw ' near Man chester, to witness the building of a covered railway rods intended for the forthcoming International Exhi 13Win London, within the twelve hours of the day. The amount of work to be done in building such a carnage in extensive works like those of Mr. Ashhury's is • small matter, because its said that on an average the works turn out a railway carnage eve , / hour when in full employment; but the novelty in this case was to see the whole of the pro cesses in building such a vehicle, commencing with iron in the pig, and taking timber from the baulk. gone through in such • short space of time, a feat which has never before been attempted. The work wee commenced yester day, at about a quarter pest seven o'clock in the musing, and was expected to be completed before seven in the evening. The waggon was then to be leaded with goods, now in the hands of the railway companies, intended for the Exhibition, and would be despatched to London the same night, arriving in London this morning. Mr. W. Hulse, of the firm of Whitworth and Co., machinists, and Mr. Wrigley, of the firm of Fothergill, Wrigley, and Smith, consulting engineers, were appointed to watch the operations from the commencement to the conclusion, and verify the facts should the attempt prove successful. The timber need mu a log of East India Moulmein teak. The body of the carriage is to be 16 feet long, and 8 feet wide, and it is to be completed and var uished within the time named. On a visit to the works at 12 o'clock at noon yesterday the four wheels, which are of solid wrought iron, and whioh take abt twice as long to make as the ordinary wheels, were in a forward state, and ready to receive the tires. The woodwork was alao in a forward state. The company present seemed much in terested in the works of Mr. Aslibury, at which about 2,000 operative are employed, which cover 15 acres of ground, and contain about two miles of railway connecting the various departments, and forming a junction with the Manchester and Sheffield Railway. Irrimstraitogai, Eittritrrion ox 1862.—The North German Lloyd's screw steamer Falke arrived yesterday morning with 125 packages from the Simon commission, 30 packages from the Bremen commission, 11 packages from the Oldenburg oommisioo, sod 171 packs/me from the Prussian and Austrian commission. Amason, tie latter are two locomotives. There are already safely honied at the Exhibition 382 packages from Saxony and 100 packages from Hanover, so it will be seen that the efforts of the two latter countries to comply with her Majesty's Commis sioners' decision with respect to the delivery of goods have been successful. All these goods have bees seat ail Bremen, the railway just completed between that city and Bremerbafen having reodered it one of the but Valeta both for goods and pusengers from northern Gerliely.

Henry Cron, 36, solicitor, was indicted for fraudulently obtaining by false pretences from Mary Ann Roles the sum a 301., with intent to chest her thereof. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Warton. Mr. Metcalfe having briefly opened the ease called the proseeutdx, who stated that &he lived at 'Gloucester gardens, Kentish-town, and was a widow, sod housekeeper to her brother. From May up to November last the prisoner visited at her brother's house onoe or twice • week, and paid his addresses to her, o ff ered her marriage, and said he was preparing • comfortable home for her. A marriage was agreed upon, and he asked if she was depsedent entirely upon her brother. She told him she bad 2001. other own at four per out., which was correct. He said it was foolish for her to pat it out at that small rate; he could get 1 2 / 1 for it if she would like to try it ; and if she liked she could, put 50/. in his firm, Cross and Nixon, 58, Liecoln's.ine-fields, and his partner would make more than that of it. He said he was advising her aa • solicitor should advise a client. She drew out SW. and went to the prisoner's office, on the 2nd of September. He met her at the door. She expected to see the partneri together. He asked her if she had got the money. She said she had. He said, " The old man," meaning a little man at the door, " little 'mows how soon we—you and I—shall become cam" He prevented her seeing Mr. Nixon by saying he did net wish him to know that he was engaged to her, as he (Mr. Nixon) wanted him to many his daughter, but she was only a school girl, and he should not like her , She went with him to an Wel in Coveeitgarden, and he called for pea, ink, end paper. He asked what receipt he should give. lifts said he knew best, bet she should require a proper one. He made out a mosit r with • stamp on it. She gave him the 501., and be gave W. fe. as Waned at the rateof 12i per cent. He said abs could have it back in a month if die required it. He visited her afterwards, and she asked him what Mr. Nixon mid about the transac tion after he saw it entered in the books. He said Mr. Nixon wanted to knew who the was and where she lived. She parted with the money barn* it was going to Niue and Cross, solic itnea. In case she lusted the money she was to apply to the offices ; even if he left Mr. Nixon she would never lose a ghillie. of it. Soon after his nnuansee changed, and she toil ids she was going to Mr. Nixes for the return of the deposit. He begged and implored her not to do so, as it would sagas words. He promised to pay it her on the 3rd of Deessabee. He never visited her afterwards, and she had never received one farthing of the 501. In January Mr. Nixon told her he knew nothing of the money. She first saw the primmer In April, when he gave her his card. The money was sot a lo to the primmer ; she conaidered it to be, as he represented, a deposit at interest with the firm of Nixon and Ones, repayable on nOtioa, which it was not. Cross-examined—She met him near Holborn, es he was going to post his letter. She was with a highly young woman, • farmer's daughter, and he gave b r enitrd. Next day he wrote her two letters. She went with him to Weston s, the Alhambra, and other places of amusement. In teply to questions as to having had intrigues with per goes le the country , and having stated that they unfortu nately ended in nothing, she gave an unqualified denial, but said she knew some persons in the country whose names were mentioned. She did not proceed against him in this eau because he had committed a breach of promise of mar riage, but because he bad swindled her of the 501. Had his conduct been, after he had the money, such as it' wag before, she would certainly have married him, but his visits were much lees after be had it, and be wrote insulting letters to her, custaluim remarks which she declined to repeat. A letter was pat ta with • cut off, it was not, she said, it to be seem It t a a m i l lt as imputation upon her, bat she could not recollect time swat words.

She con- Adored that she was investing the money with the firm of Minos end Cross, and not as a loan to Cross himself. Jaime Edward Nixon deposed that he was a solicitor at T.Ar s ooln's-inn.fields, and was in partnership with the ,er until January. He knew nothing whatever of this hesrowed money, and by the articles of partnership the podia were not to give security for money or for any other pores without the full sanction and consent of the firm gill,/ is writing.

This was not only denied, but it appeared in the learned counsel's brief that such were the instructions given, and that the prisoner himself, when at the police court, had made a worse defence. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Metcalfe said that it was due to Mr. Wartaa to say that the instructions were upon his brief. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. His Lordship said the case was a very gnu one, the pri soner having endeavoured to defame and blacken the character of the lady he had robbed under the pretence of being her lover, and he • married man. Were it not for the fact that hie conviction would have the effect of re moving him from • profession which he had so dis the sentence upon him would certainly be one oflceel servitude.

John Lambert was charged with assaulting and robbing a young lady named Mann. The t:Ls deposed that at eight o'clock the previous night she was proceeding along Blackman-street from the City, when, near Trinity-street, some man seized her by the waist with one hand and nearly throttled her with the other. She WWII a geld watch and chain attached to a brooch ; the man broke away the watch from the chain and snatched her umbrella, which was broken off the handle in the struggle. She was then released, and before she could seism out the man crowed the road and made his escape. Information was given to the pollee, end yesterday morning she saw the prisoner in custody at the station-house, and declared him to be the man who so ruffianly ill-used her and robbed her. Samuel Parker, a lad about 10 years of age, said he saw the primmer run aiwoes the road up Lent-street. He fol lowed him up Harrow-street into Suffolk-place, when he metered a house and jumped over a wall behind, when he lost sight of him. Witness spoke to a policeman about it. Fisher, 285 hi, said he took the prisoner into custody at two o'clock in the morning in the Mint; he told him what be was charged with, when he denied the charge. Inspector Gardener, M Division, said that the young lady picked the prisoner out of four or Ave others as the man who robbed gun, and if a ranand was granted other wit nesses would be in attendance to substantiate the case. The prisoner denied the robbery, and raked whether it was likely that he should stop about the Mint all night if he bad committed it. Mr. Combo remanded him for a week. Tim Fuca Dory .—Mr. H. B.
