The Earl of DERBY gave notice that he would move for the appointmeot of a select committee to inquire into the results' of the action of noxious vapours in connexion with manufacturiug promene, and into the state of the law re lating thereto. ECCLESIASTICAL DILAPIDATIONS BILL. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the second reading of this bill, and stated that there would be an oppor tunity for discussing folly its several provisions in select committee, to whioh he moved that it be referred. Lord ST. LEONARDS observed that the law as it at pre sent stood was unsatisfactory, inasmuch as when money was paid for repairs by an outgoing clergyman to his suc cessor there were no means of compelling the latter to apply the money to the repairs' of the house. A provision should be introduced with • view to meet that state of things, and by which the incoming clergyman would be bound so to expend the money he received, and to produce to his archdeacon the bill said receipt with respect to the work. A clause he thought shouldalso be added, providing that when the residence of a clergyman—the subject of the bill—was accidentally de stroyed by fire, or flood, or tempest, the cost of restoration should be charged on the proceeds of the living, and not on the occupant. The Bishop of LONDON end that the subject under dis cussion had occupied the ettentioe of the clergy for the last six months. He concurred with the most rev. prelate that the bill should be referred tea select committee, where its details could be fully considered. Lord PORTMAN said—His advice to their lordships was to refer the subject to • @afoot committee unfettered by the principle of this bill, and thus endeavour to pot en end to a great grievance ; but in the mean time not to af fi rm the principle of the bill. The bill was ultimately read a second time, and on the mann of the Archbishop of CANTIMBURT it was ordered to be referred to • select committee. REGISTER OF VOTERS BILL. This bill was read a second time. EXCHEQUER BONDS (£1,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a second time. Their lordships rose at half-pin 6. HOUSE OF OOHNONS.-41tIDAY, MAY 2.

Mr. SLANEY asked the Seaetary of State for the Home Department if he would introduce a clause in the High ways Bill to enforce the repairs of footpaths being high treys across fields and elsewhere near gre►t towns. Sir G. GREY did not think such a clause would cane within the scope. The hon. gentleman had better give notice of an instruction to the committee to insert such a Cillol4. CENSUS (IRELAND.) Sir F. HEYGATE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if the reads of the late mum of Ireland, extending, as in the years 1841 and 1851, to the population of each farm land, would be published daring the present anion. Sir R. PEEL was afraid it worda not be posaible to pub lish the returns this session. When the census of 1851 wee taken, the Irish returns were not made till the following year, and he hoped those of 1861 would be published before the end of the present year. ABDEL KADER. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether information had been received that the Turkish government were requiring from Abdel Rader the dismissal of his Algerian Guards, who were the mama, under his command and direction, of saving great numbers of Christian lives during the late maseacree at Damascus ; and whether the British government, who were parties to the transactions in Syria, approved of such a return being made to him fur such services! Mr. LAYARD replied that no each information had been received by the government. He believed that some time ago, either lest year or the year before, on the general dis armament taking piece in Syria, a portion of the followers of Abdel Rader were necessarily disarmed with the rest ; but the Turkish government had behaved with great libe rality to Abdel Rader in the matter, and allowed him to retain 200 mut THE DEFENCE COMMfESION. In reply to Sir M. Piro, Sir G. (1. LEWIS said that there was no wish on the part of the government to deprive the house of the fullest opportunity of discussing the question, and it would pro lia bly be his duty to propose at some future time that an additional sum be raised beyond the loan which was taken • year or two ago, and as it would be necessary to bring in a bill for the purpose, every opportunity would be *Sordid for discussing the question. VOLUNTEER COMMISSION. - Lord ELCIIO asked the Secretary of State for War when the Royal COMlDilleioll would be Mined, which was to in• quire into the position and prospects of the volunteer force. Sir G. C. LEWIS—The names of the commissioners have been already submitted to her Majesty, and I trust that the order appointing the commission will issue very shortly. - THE BARON DE BODE. Mr. R. LOWE asked the hoe. member for Tiverton whe ther it was his intention tomove for thereappointment of the select committee appointed during the last session, to M. quire into the claims of the Baron de Bode. Mr. DENMAN stated that the Baron de Bode was at present absent in R WM* and though he had written to him some months ago in reference to the reappointment of the committee, he was as yet without an answer. It was not certainly his intention to move for the committee in the Baron's absence. PROSECUTION EXPENSES BILL. k reply to Colonel GILPIN, Sir G. GREY said it was not intended to pr oceed with this bill pending the inquiry which had beam ituititated at the instance of the hon. and gallant member. COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH ITALY. Mr. W. FORSTER inquired if there waa any truth in the statement that a commercial treaty was in COMM of negotia. too between tho Italian government and this country. Mr. LAYARD said it was well known that the Italian government bad shown great liberality m their commercial policy towards this country. It was quite true that they had sent Signor Mariciui, an eminent member of the Italian chamber, as a special commissioner to this country to ne gotiate such a treaty. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. Colonel W. PATTENsaid, be reference to the noticeon the piper in his name for that evening to call attention to the distress in the cotton manufacturing districts, he had pro mised the President of the Poor-law Board, in answer to a request to that effect, that he would sot bring oaths motion before Moe,lay on going into supply ; but be was not roue, when he gave that promise, that the education debate was fixed for that evening ; under the circumstances he appealed to Lord Palmerston to give him another day, the right hou. gentleman (Mr. Villiers) not being now in the house. Sir J. PAKINGTON suggested that as the alterations in the new code were only placed on the table on the night the house adjourned for the holidays, the discussion should be postponed some time longer in order to aeon' those who took an interest in the question, in and out of the house, the opportunity of fully considering those changes. Lord PALMEPSTON reminded the right hon. baronet that the molibmitioas were announced on Friday, 98th March, end were printed and laid upon the table or Willi& April, and in the hands of members on the 12th. The discussion was hied for the sth of May so far back as Ist April, and they were now at May 2. He thought, there fore, ample time bail elapsed for considering the effect of the proposed change. if the right bon. gentleman's ques tion meant, would ministers give up another government day for the discussion, he most my, that considering the state of public business, the period of the session, and other considerations, lie did not think they could afford to do so. But it must be remembered that this was a motion originating on the other, and, not oo that side of the house, and it was not, therefore, with the government to may when it should come on ; all he could say was that if it WAS not brought on on Monday he could sot fix another government day for the debate. In reply to Colonel Patten 's question, be added that it would be impossible, as the arrangement stood, to enter upon the long discussion which the subject of the distress in Lancashire must involve, with say psospest of entering upon the education debate on the lame emerung. So fur as the government was concerned, then, he would say, let she arrangement stand as it was, via., that Monday should be devoted to the education debate. la reply to a subsequent question the noble lord undertook that Colonel W. Patten should have an opportunity of bringing on a discussion epos his motion on going in coin. mittee of supply on Thursday or Friday next. CAPTAIN JACKSON' H S REPORT—TROOPS lir CINA. On the motion for going ioto committee of supply, Mr. W. EWART roes to call attention to Captain Jack eon's reports on the importance of establishing soldiers' in.. atitutee at Aldershott and Portsmouth, and to require whether an early opportunity would be takes et carrying tad recommeadatious into effect ; and after same memorise whla were inaudible in the gallery, azpseseed a hope that the War-office would see meson belies long I. adopt Chptsia Jackson's anatutneedstAnne. THE EXPRESS,)3ATUED4Y MAY 3, 1862, Colonel DUNN E asked the Secretary of State for War whether there were any troops ht Chinanot jecleded in the numbers in the estimate or estimated for, and whether if there wore any troops in China, those tr oops received the Indian pay and allowances ; also whether they ware paid out of the Treasury Ghat, or it not, from what fund I Sir H. VERNEY, referring to the report of the oommir donors on the state of the army, in which military insti tutes and barrocks were recommended, quoted the opinion that the meow of such institutions must dependence the mode in which they were monied ; any apathy on the part of the officers would be fatal. Mr. SCLATER-BOOTH had been in communication with many of the inhabitants of Akienhott, and so farm his infor mation went he doubted whetherCaptainJackson's propceols would a ff ord an e ffi cient remedy for the evil complained of. Sir G. 0. LEWIS understood the hon. and giant officer (Colonel Dunne) to refer in his question to the estimate of the present year beginning on lot of April last. The latest returns which had been received from China were dated lit of January, 1862. At that date there were 1,860 of all ranks of native troops, and that number was not included in the current year inasmuch sa it was expected that that faros would return 'to India. It was not, however, possible at present to make the change, and a body of native troops would still remain in China. With regard to Captain Jack son's report he could only say it had received careful omit deration, and a vote had been pro po sed in the army esti mates by which it would be po for the War-office to carry out its recommendation. The iron home to which referent* had been made belonged to the We/pollee, and no doubt it was acquired with the intention of converting it into a soldiers' home ; but since the vote passed it had beep represented that its situation was inconvenient and ill suited for its purpose, and it was in so conspicuous a part of the ; camp that the men would probably be deterred from going there. That was the explanation of the pause in making ' I the final arrangement, but he was nevertheless inclined to carry into effect the recommendation. FORTIFICATIONS AT PLYMOUTH. Mr. BEN TIN CK wished for explanationswith reference to the new fort ordered to be constructed in Plymouth Sound, and addremed his questions to the Secretary to the Ad malty as well as to the Secretary for War, because ap pearedto him that the objections to the oonstniction of the fort were of both a military and naval character, and be had received information from good authority at Ply mouth, that at present an operation was going on there which appeared to him totally unaccountable. Sir G. C. LEWIS believed the original plan was that the fort alluded to should be erected upon the breakwater, but upon reconsideration it was thought more advisable that it should be erected in the sea, near the breakwater. The foundation would not be composed of stoma thrown down in the same way as the breakwater, but would be a nearly perpendicular wall. He was sorry that the hon. gentleman bad not brought forward this question during the debate upon the Spithead forts, there being a close affinity between the two questions. Mr. BENTINCK—At that time I had never heard of the proposed fort, Sir G. C. LEWIS was sorry thehon. gentleman's inquiries bad been so recent, but it would have been more convenient if the house had had both questions brought under its notice at the same time. He would, however, make this offer to the hon. gentleman, he had no objection to refer it to the Defence Commanon which had now the subject of the Spithead forts for its consideration, to inquire and report upon the policy of promeding with this insulated fort in Plymouth Sound. He wouki not undertake to stop the works, but would undertake to make the reference imme diately, and he had no doubt the report would be ready in • limited time. Mr. BENTINCK repeated his question to the noble lord the Secretary to the Admiralty. Lord C. PAGET replied that the Defence Commiesk . . _ WSJ Comp osed 44;tficisrsol both awrices, and was com petent, t orators, to express an opinion upon the naval at well as the military part of the question. DISTRE2B IN IRELAND. Mr. MAGUIRE rose to call attention to the fact that deaths from starvation hays occurred recently in Ireland. He said that recent information which bad come to him confirmed every fact to which he had before drawn the attention of the house, arid he believed the extent of the distress was only limited by the boundaries of Ireland, and that it would be increasing every day for the Dea t three or four months. It was work, and not alms, which the people wanted ; but the government, instead of extend ing the relief which they i nd irectly gave to them. had curtailed it. The loans granted by the Board of Works for the improvement of estates had been reduced in amount from 10,0004 to 5,0001., and consequently . the means of landlords to give employment had been diminished just at the very time it was moat wanted. He did not mean to represent the state of Ireland to be am bad now an it was during the famine, because the populatioa was diminished, but no one could doubt that thus existed great distress, which the poor-law, as at present administered, did not reach. The official' who boasted of the prosperity of the country bad never been beyond the city of Dublin, and even the chief Poor-law Corn mimioner had never been in a single workhouse in Ireland. If the right boo, gentleman the Secretary for Ireland relied oo fallacious datementa, written oold-bloodedly in an office, he roust of necessity go wrong, and the people would suffer in consequence of his ignorance. Mr. P. DAWSON thought that system and that of rates in aid was unjust. The attempt made on a former occasion to give employment on public works proved a lamentable failure, and he hoped it would not be repeated. He deeply sympathised with the unfortunate condition in which the labouring population of Lancashire had been placed, and be claimed the same sympathy for the people of Ireland. He did not think it would be the duty of the government to maintain the people of either country at the public ex pease. In his opinion if the measures which had been introduced under the authority of the Chief Secretary should meet with the approbation of the home sad be passed into law, they would go fez to alleviate the distress which existed, and the effect of them would be of far more advantage to the people of Ireland than any amount of sympathy which might be expressed on their behalf. Colonel DICKSON said the speech of his hon. friend bad filled him with astonishment. If this bad been an attack on the government he could have understood his honourable friend's observations, but he believed the honourable member for Dung:man had brought forward this motion with • view of proving that the statement made by him on • former occasion was correct, namely, that a great amount of distress did exist in Ireland. Mr. BLAKE said be would repeat the statistics which he had laid before the house nu a former occasion wheu this painful subject was under its consideration. The hon. mem ber then read a statement, the effect of which was to show that while there had been an increase in the quantity of sheep and cattle between the years 1847 and 1860, there had hens great decrease as regarded the production of grain and potatoes, and he had no hesitation in saying that in no period of her history—at least in their time—had Ireland required the interference of the government more impera tively than at present, if they wished to save the remnant of the people from starvation and death. (Hear, bear.) Sir R. PEEL, observing that this subject was one which appealed to our best feelings of humanity and charity, said he bad felt considerably relieved at the -.inclusion of Mr. Maguire's speech, having been given to understand that the boo, member, from sources of information from which he (Sir It. Peel) was debarred, would make out a strong case against the government; but be should be able to place the zeal and active supervision of the Irish government, which sympathised with the distress of the people, in • favourable point.. of view. He proceeded to examine some of the cases referred to by Mr. Maguire ' reading the sworn evidence of credible which led to the conclusion, in his opinion, that persons Maguire must have been deceived. After referring to written statements to show the exaggerations upon this 'object, be read a letter he bad received that morning from Mr. Gi'unmissiouer Power to the same effect, anal main tained that, though there was considerable suffering and distress in some parts of Ireland, there was no pistil:U*6oo for the allegation of deaths by starvation having occurred in consequence of any neglect or disregard on the part of the government. The distress was not so widely spread as seine imagined, and it was gradually diminishing, while the sanitary condition of the people was satisfactory. He animadverted in severe terms upon the attempts made to calumniate the administration of the poor-law in Ireland, which, he observed, bad caused the sacrifice of many lives of persons who bad been thereby deterred from entering the workhouses, sued he complained of the diffi culties cast in the way of poor-law relief by unfounded accusations, uttered by persons high in ecclesiastical autho rity among the Roman catholics of Ireland. Major O'REILLY replied to Kir R. Peel, disdaining, how ever, to answer the attack made by him upon the R oman catholic prelates of Ireland. The house had heard much, he mid, of the exertions of the government to avert Irish distress, but they had not been told what had been dope by them. On the contrary, their denial of the existence of unusual distress had checked private benevolence. After a few observations by Mr. Mlilanorr, Mr. GREGORY observed that, though distress in Ireland was local, speaking of the county of Galway, he was bound to say, from personal keen/ledge, that there was a very great amount of destitution and distress, especially among the small farmers, which might be counteracted by • very slight measure on the part of the government, not of gra tuitous relief, but of employment. The discuasioo of this subject was continued for some time by Mr. Brady, Sir G. Bowyer,Mr. Hennessy, and Mr. H. Bruce. Sir G. GREY said the hog. gentleman opposite must now be satisfied that there was no absolute unanimity even amongst Irish members as to the extent of the distress in that country. No doubt there were parte of Ireland where deep distress prevailed ; and them were also portions of the West of to which the fame remark applied, the cause being in both instances the unfavourable season. There was likewise great distress in Lancashire and other parts of England ; but the question forth' house was whether that dieters was in soy ease so severe and so urgeat as to demand any extraordinary measures to be taken by parlim west for its relief, or whether it might not safely be left to a Mena and judicious application of the poor law and to local reeosraset As to the public works, that plan of afford lag relief bed bees eseeeted to in the years 1847.9 tat complaints' bad bus ode of the elude which bad followed the step, anal prat experiseen ems isfavourable to its further adoption. The hes. bareset complained of the limitatioe of the loins for dreamy, ; but that limitation had been Imposed by act of parimment At first the rule was that no landlord should borrow more than 10,00 W.; bat that sum bad afterwards been reduced toti,oool. hieplisties het resestly beekesede to the goveromest to extend the limit spin ; and the subject was under the cow • NATAL AND MILITARY. adoration of government ; but if any change were made it would have to be done by padiameot itself, not by the exe cutive. He (the right hoe. gentleman) had' heard with ADMIRALTY, MAY 2. —ArrOrNTMENTS.--Com satisfactiou the hon. member for Galway'a remarks on the =maws 0.• Broad, to be inspecting commander of the extreme inexpediency of using language calculated to deter coast- - u ; and W.

Mr. WHALLEY said he was in Ireland inlBl7 and 1848, and saw the way in which the grants made at that time were used, and he afterwards in the house urged that those grants should Lot be repaid, in consequenCe of the improper mode in which they were expended. He thought that the suggestion of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Monsell) ought to receive favourable consideration. Another practicable remedy for the distress was lending money to landholders for improvements. After a few words of explanation from Mr. liaommt, the subject dropped. RETIRING ALLOWANCES TO BARRACK-MASTERS. Colonel FRENCH then nee to call attention to the sub led of retiring allowances grankulll to barrack-masters. It was a matter of uncertainty whether barrack-masters were military men or civilians. At the Treasury be was told they were military men, and he was referred to (the Ilona Guards for any complaint he might have to make respecting them, but at the Horse Guards he was told they were ciami, Oneof these barrack-masters who had seen much military service was awarded a pension of 3a. 'lid. • day. Mr. PEEL mid when barrack-masters had completed ten years of service they were entitled to His. ed. per day. When the hon. and gallant gentleman referred to the Super-' annuation Act he should remember that the Treasury could not use their power under the act in particular MM. The War-ofiloe had framed rules which were rather in favour of the barrack officers than the public ser vice, and it was most important that the Treasury should adhere to the rules as closely as possible` these owl the government looked to the office to be filled rather than to the amount of services which the officers had performed. THE EXPEDITIONS AGAINST TILE TAEPING& Colonel SYKES asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, as the militia/it:fence of the Tartar city of Shanshae h ad been ordered her Majaatt government, and joint expeditions of Prone English, and Tartan appeared to have recently taken place spinet the Taiping*, provision had been made to prevent the Tartar Civil Governor (Toutai) of Shanghae from executing pri eozere taken in conflict with the Teepings. After slew words from Mr. Glißoaoll, Sir F. BARING suggested that the papers relative to the annexation of Lagos should be laid on the table. Mr. LAY &RD would sot at that hour go into • discus aim of the policy of her Majesty's government in reference to China, but would merely observe that his hon. and gallant friend's information was not strictly correct, a subsequent impression of the Chinese paper which bad published it having contradicted the statement, and expressed regret at having made it. The parties executed were not Taiping, taken in battle, but pirates and robbers. The hon. and gallant member might rest immured that while the English and French were engaged no nnneoeseary cruelty would be exercised, and orders had been mot out to that effect. Mr. WHITE believed that the course taken by the government was a certain way of producing, sooner or later, another China war. All the information received showed that the Taepiags respected the British power, and avoided as far as possible interfering with British trade. He de precated the mita with France in Chinese affairs on the ground that while our objects were purely commercial, those of France were the propagation of the Roman catholic religion. He recommended that Shanghae should at least temporarily be declared a free port, and not that we should assist in collecting revenue there for the benefit of either the Tartar government or the Taepiog rebels. He intimated anintention of bringing on the subject of our policy in China on an early day. The house then went into committee of supply p forma, and the chairman was immediately ordered to report program. MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. ACTS, lea, AMENDMENT On the mot ion fee going Into committee on this bill, Mr. LOCKE moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. M. GIBSON expressed a hope that the motion would not be pressed, and that the Speaker would be allowed to leave the chair. It was not his intention to do more that move that the chalrmsn report progress. After a few words from Mr. ATIITON the motion for the adjournment of the debate was carried without a division. THE BURIAL BILL. Sir IL PETO moved the second reading of the Burial Bill. Sir G. GREY said that the bill had been considerably modified, sad several of the objectionable clauses in that introduced last year removed. He did not, therefore, ob ject to the second reading, on the understanding, however, that the provisions of the bill should be fully considered in select committee. Sir W. HE&THOOTE concurred in the suggestion of the right hon. baronet, that the bill should be referred to • select committee. Mr. COLLINS hoped that sufficient notice would be given of the names of the members who were to form the committee on the bill. After a few words from Mr. S. EfrICOUBT the bill was reed • second time. EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN BILL. On the motion of Sir S. NORTHCOTI. this bill was read a second time and ordered to be ref erred to • select committee. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. On the motion of Sir W. liaarncovre leave was given to bring in • bill to extend the power of making statutes, and to make farther provision for the administration of justice in the court of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. The bill was read a first time. The house adjourned at twenty minutes to one. PORTSMOUTH, MAT 2. The Zebra, 17, screw sloop, Commander A. IL Hoskins, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the eastward, and on anchoring exchanged salutes with the flag ship of the Commander-in• Chief. She is expected to sail this evening for the West Coast of Africa. The Trafalgar, 89, screw, Captain J. B. Dickson is also under orders to leave Spithad, and is expected to sail this evening. The Rbadamanthus, 4, steam store ship, Muter commander F. B. Sturdes, mailed this afternoon for Wool wich. • Wt ILatu intelligence.

CCBITT AND COTTON.—Lfrearoot., MAT 2.—We have had • fair extent of business during this week, but the tone of the market under the influence of rumours of intervention in American polities hu been dull, sad prices of moat soda slightly in favour of buyers ; middling and the lower quali tiesof Egyptian are fully id. per lb. lower, whilst the better grades command full prime.

The plaintiffs in this case held a ferry from the Isle of Dogs to Greenwich, and they claimed to recover damages for an infringement of their right ; the alleged inf ringement being the carrying passengers from Cubitt-town, in the Isle of Dogs, across the water to the opposite shore. Then bad been a great deal of litigation upon the matter, which had been several times before the court in one form and anoesbac. Upon the present occasion the fasts were stated in a Rosie/ case for the opinion of their tordahip• Mr. Serjeent Pigott and Mr. J. J. Powell appeared for the pleintiffs ; and Mr. Lush for the defendants.. The Lord Chief Justice, at the conclusion of the day, mid it was necessary that the further hearing should he adjourned, but according to the view which the court at present entertained it was very desirable that an arrange. meat should if possible be come to. COTTON 000D13.—Moocrisorgo, MAT 2.—The rare market, es well as the cloth market, is very quiet. In fzet little has been dove to-day beyond hazarding speculative opinions m to the probability ci an intervention in American affairs. Bach a nouns, it is said, the English government & too wise to contemplate, whilst it is one which the French would not dare to attempt single-handed; the retort, therefore, is not seriously credited, but it has been spent to reate great manners and stop business. Neither nn nor Dor manufacturers s are willing to make the careeesionie prices, men to effect sales, but i tch vig be see, in how sensitive a state our market is, at pt high prices, when reports resting on so slight a foundation as the present Am eau so seriously derange it- Even body treats the matter as one that will speedily " blow over;" but sellers of cloth report that there has been little or so inquiry, much lees any actual business, and that the market has bun unusually at throughout the day. Shirt:lap continue very firm, owing to the better advice lately to hood from Indira and T.cloths and domestics are firmer through reduced production. Loft cloths Si, reported to be low in stock, but the demand of late has bees small. Of yarns and cloths from Indian calm the market is Down good supply, and though a large quan tity of these goods are of e xcel lent quality, it is said that some of the cloth from the low anon' are °fa very inferior description, and sell with difficulty. The Cotton Supply Association have received some recent samples of cotton grown in lodic df very superior quality. The largest of them asomlse is a staple grown in the Deighbourhood of Madras, and valuul 134 d. to 130. per lb. It is from Americo& wed, and is equal to any cotton of the kind from America. It is to he given out to spinners to be made into 70's yarn. Another sample is of cotton grown at Mutlah in India, from Egyptian seed, worth 144 d. ian to 115 d. is mitred at aad a thlsir. ird kind grown at Dargeelab, from Egypt , per lb. If Dolton such as this, say spinners, could be 'ap plied in quantity, we should no longer be dependent upon Americo to keep our spindles going. COURT OF EXCHEQUER—DAY 2. kgs in Banco in Faster Tenn.--(Before the Lard Chief Berra end Barons Bramwell end Martin.) MAYALL •. HMV. - . This action via beinght by Mr. Mayall, the photographer, for the improper detention of certain photographic portraits of eminent men, which the plaintiff had lent to Mr. Tillie, the publisher of the Illustrated News of the World, with a view to migravinp from them being issued with that jeer ml. Mr. Talks became a bankrupt, and the defendant pur chased the photographs from his assignees, and sold reduced copies of them for - considerable sums. At the trial which took place before the Lord Chief Baron at Cuildhaß, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, but a rule was subsequently obtained to enter a vindict for the defendant. Mr. Vau t ghan Williams, in the absence of Mr. Lush, now appeared on the part of the plaintiff, to show muse against the rule. The Lord Chief Baron said that when the court granted the rale there was ea impression that the ease involved the question of copyright in photographs, but it now appeared to him that it did sot touch that question. It was really an action for using a man's property without his consent and to his disadvantage, which the defendant had no right to do. Mr. V. Williams admitted that the case wee wholly independent of ;any point as to copyright, but said that if it were not, it would come within the decision of Lord Cottenharn in the awe of " Prince Albert v. Strange," in which etchisp by her Majesty end the late lamented Prince Consort, sent to be printed far private use, were, by some breech of treat or of confidence, copied sod advertised to he sold. His lordship went through all the authorities upon the ' ak and held that no pesos had a right to melte copses of drawings without the ootuient of the proprietor, even tboegh he had no knowledge of the manlier in which they mane into the possession of the party from whom be got them ; and he granted an injunction restraining their publication. The Lord Chief Baron said they were all of opinion that. the role should be discharged, and it would be better, in the first instance, to call upon the counsel on the other side. Mr. M. Smith (with whom was Mr. Aspinall) said he did not hear the announcement with any particular pleasure. (Laughter.) He was then heard is support of the rule, and an the conclusion of his arguments the court rose. COURT OF PROBATE AND DWORCE. ------ -- - - - Ye: 2. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) DELNDRITH V.

James Al'Chugh, a dirty, ragged, sickly-looking child, of about eight years of age, was brought before Mr. Henry, on a charge of begging. A. Barnett Rothschild, dealer in articles of vertu, High Holtorn, stated—The night before last, at about 11 o'cloe. I was passiog through Lincoln's.ino, when I saw the prisoner sitting on a dooretep begging. I asked him why be did not go home? He replied that be dared not, as be had only got threepence, and bis mother would beat him if he went home with less than sixpence. A gentleman who was with me bought • cake and gave it to him, and he ate it ravenously. I looked out for a policeman, oonaidering that the matter ought to be inquired into. Of course it would be no charity to give him mosey, for, if his story is true, it would only go to the mother. I found • policeman, but as soon as the prisoner saw him coming he ran away. Last evening I went round spin, in eider to look out for him. He was again sitting on a step, begging. I laid hold of him, and kept him till I saw • policeman. I under stand, from gentlemen residing in the seighbourbood. that the prisoner is frequently seen there till one or two o'clock in the morning. The prisoner's mother here came forward and said she did not send her son out to beg. She was oat at work all day, and could not tell where he was or what he was doing during her absence. She denied that she expected him to bring home any money, or that he was in the habit of doing so. The prisoner—l gave you 2d. the night before last. The mother—Yes, air. He brought me 2d. that night, and told me • gentleman gave it him. I asked what the gentleman gave it him for, and he said, " Became I asked him." Mr. Henry—Then on that occasion, at least, he brought borne to you money which you know he had got by begging. I dare say, if the truth was known, be does so almost every night. I shall seed him to an industrial school The mother, who appeared much disconcerted , made no re rr: Hen —That will be the best thing for him. It way not be the best for you, as you make • profit by him, and I see that you do not like it. Mr. Rothschild—lt will probably save the life of the child. He is suffering from • fearful cold and cough. The mother—That is through going about barefoot. Mr. Rothschild—No such thing. It is from sitting upon doorsteps on wet nights begging, getting wet through in the rain, and wandering about in that condition till two in the 00ALS.—LOITOOK, MAY 2.—Hates's Want Thuihy, 14s. gd, ; Bag Primrose, 12a. 6d. ; Boddle's West Hart ley, ; Grey's West Hartley, 14 s. 3 d. ; Hartle p ool Wert Hartley, 14s. 6d. ; Hastings Hazily, 15s. ; Holy. well, 16s. ; Lambert's West Hartley, 15s. ; North Pekoe Gas, 13s. ; Moor Bats, 12s. 6d. ; Walker Pia. rose, Us. 6d. ; West Hartley, 15s. ; West Wykm, 14s. 6d .; Wylam, 165.: Walls End Heolley,lbs. ; WY Hod Sheriff Hill, 14a. &L ; Walls End Framwelleste, 1( Walls End Comp, 16s. 3d. ; Walls End Heagh Hall, IL Walla End Booth Hellos, 16s. 6d.: Birth Grove Gnirk, 20e. ; Camay and Daffryn Astbracite, 21s. 6d. ; Cans, aid Dogma Malting, 24e.

WORSHIP-STREET. Alfred Gray, a powerful young man, was charged before Mr. Self. with the following barbarous assault : Mr. John Younger, • cabinetmaker, living in Engle Wharf-reed, City-road, whose nose was hidden with plaster, said that on the previous evening, at the Grecian Saloon, while witnessing the performance. the prisoner accused him of unnecessarily pushing. This was denied, upan which defendant, in most gross terms, threatened to bite his nose off, and actually snapped at it immediately afterwards, inflicting a very severe wound. The sur- rounding company were unanimous in their demand that the fellow should be given into custody, and this wee accordingly done. Cross-examined—l swear that I did not lift my hard to him. Three witnesses confirmed the complainant's testimony. and stated that the prisoner had the nom completely in his mouth, and that it was bitten through. The defence set up was that there had been a struggle. in the course of which the injury was inflicted, but unknow ingly by the perpetrator. Ms worship summed his abhorrence of such an infam ous and beastly sot, and malmissii the prisoner to pay a fine of 80a, end 20s. oasts. The mow was forthcoming. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS.

DISTRESSING SUICIDES. Yesterday morning as inquiry was bald at tb , Grasshopper Tavern. Obariesedrest, Wbitechapel, by Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, touching the death of Emma Webster, aged 17, who committed suicide by throwing herself from a window, sixty feet high, antrz e 7 painful circumstances. Mrs. S mith, the sister of d eceased. said that she had been until recently a nursery governess in • respectable family at Hackney, and witness thought that she still resided there until ioteemed of her death. Prom inquiries that were since made, it appeared that she was turned out of her situation through having been seduced by a gentleman who was a friend of the family . She was, no doubt, afraid to communicate with her f riends, and being alone and destitute, her health broke down from "rief. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary inutility." Mr. Walthew opened an inquiry yesterday at the Town of Rainsgater vern, High-street, Wapping, touching the death of W.ll. award *limo, aged 55 years, • solicitor, who was found dead in the river Thames. The jury having viewed the body, • good deal of evidence was taken. A letter which the deceased had addressed to • Mr. West was read, as follows :—" 46, Johnetreet,Commercialroad East. Dear Sir,—l troubled you many times before, but this is the last time. My bead was affected at Sandwich, but ten times worse here. I can stand it no longer. It rainy in tention this night to destroy myself in the Regent's Canal. Some of my clothes will be found at kind b Warwicklane, St. Paul's. Do may be kind to my wif A e l = faintly. I am so distressed, in body, mind, and imitate, that I can live no longer. Trusting yourself and family are well, your unfortunate friend, EDWARD D. WARREN. P.S. I can write no longer. To Mr. G. West." The in• quiry was adjourned for a few days. Yesterday morning information was forwarded to Mr. Humphreys, of the death of Janice Lye, • cabioetmaker, residing at No. 4, Devonshire-terrace, Poplar, who had committed suicide. The unfortunate man fired • shot at his breast, but the bullet had not entered, and it is thought that be then loaded a large pistol, which was toned on the ' bed, with powder to the muzzle, and placing it in his mouth, ' shattered his head to atoms. A powder4hisk was found on the nantelabelf. He had become reduced in circumstances, r owing to want of employment.
