HOUSE OF COMMONEL—WEDNVIDAY, APRIL 10. IN the kito se of eommoss, yesterday, after our report left, the Mints, &c., Assessment Bill was read a second time, and referred to a select committee. On the order of the day for going into com mittee on the Tests Abolition (Oxford) Bill, . . Mr. FAIVOETT moved that it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to extend the provisions of the bill to the University of Cam bridge. He said his desire was to put Cambridge on the same footing as the bill proposed to place Oxford. Although nonounformists were permitted to take the M. A. degree at Cambridge, it was prac tically a barren distinction, and nonconformists who had taken it considered it perfectly valueless. Mr. SELWYN Raid it was vet:) , inconvenient to have to discuss this subject in this manner, but it might have the advantage of revealing the true character of this measure, which had been soiNe what misunderstood in conse l nence of a speech from Mr. Gladstone. Since the act passed in 1850 admitting dissenters to Cambridge, the university had fairly and freely admitted nonoonformista to their colleges, their scholarships, and to all their prizes. They had reserved only that which the legislature reserved—namely, the governing body— which was reserved to members of the church. And they had admitted not only dissenters and catho lies, but Jews, and in their examinations had even granted certificates to the fair sex. He denied that there was any grievance ; and he combated the argument that the universities were national insti tutions in the sense that the house could subvert their constitution. Mr. NE:ATl:considered that though the legisla tion might be different as affected the colleges of the two universities, the legislation as to the uni versities themselves ought to be identical. Mr. GLaDerrowe thought this was a question that ought notto be dealt with by partial legislation, and he had not been able to support this bill on that ground, independent of the further ground that he did not find in the bill a settlement of the religious question. It seemed to him that the whole of the religious question ought to be dealt with, both for the colleges and the two universities alike, and therefore he was prepared to vote for the instruction. Mr. B. HOPE said the instruction would place Cambridge on the same footing as the future Ox ford which the right hon. gentleman would bring them to , and to that he would never consent. . . Mr. COLERIDGE reminded the house that they were not considering the principle of the bill, but simply whether the instruction should be agreed to. Sir W. HEATHCOTE said, inasmuch as he had given notice of amendments which would restrict the operation of the bill, and as this instruction would enlarge it, he must vote against the bill. Mr. Hara.sv opposed the instruction, as did also Mr. NEW Deters, who objected to fuistingliberalism on the university. On a division, the instruction was carried by 253 to 166. The house then went into committee on the bill, and negatived an amendment moved by Sir W. 11xsautxrre, to insert the words " except being or becoming a member of the convocation of the said university ;" and the other clauses having been agreed to, with the necessary alterations to make it apply also to Cambridge, the bill passed through committee. Mr. BEATE moved the second reading of the Associations of Workmen Bill. He said by a recent judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench it had been decided that trades unions were in restraint of trade, and were therefore illegal. In consequence of this they were deprived of the right which they had before practically exercised of proceeding sum marily before a magistrate against any defaulting office bearer of their associations. The object.of the bill was to give them that right. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the bill, because by it the sanction of the legislature to • past and continued violation of the law would be obtained. if the particular rules which made the societies illegal were repealed, the societies might be placed under the Friendly Societies Act. Mr. T. EII7I:HE2I said the remedy the Attorney- General proposed was absolutely impracticable. The members of these societies considered their societies were legalised by that act, and they left off their old system. At present in every large town in the kingdom there were large sums in the hands of the treasurers of the societies, against whom if they were defaulters there was now no legal remedy. He appealed to the house whether it would leave these societies in this state, and warned them that if they did they would cause a feeling that they were unjustly dealt with to rise in the minds of the members of those societies, numbering hundreds of thousands of persons. All that was asked was that these funds should be protected. Mr. F. POWELL opposed the bill, though he thought the case of the Friendly Societies Act ought to be fairly considered by parliament. Mr. MILL said if he were a party man he should be delighted at the course the government had taken on this bill. A mine had been sprung upon these societies by an unlooked-for declaration of the law, and the only equitable and moral course to pursue was to leave the matter in the state in which it was before that declaration was made till the whole subject could be legislated upon. Mr. BARROW said the object of the bill was to give these societies, which had been trading on false pretences, aright which they never had. The hon. gentleman proceeded with his objections to the bill until the clock pointed to a quarter to six, when, by the rules of the house, the matter dropped, and the house adjourned almost immediately afterwards. THE REFORM LEAO CE. —Last nights meeting of representatives of Reform League branches and trades dele gates was held at the Sussex-hall, Bouverie-street, under the chairmanship of Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson. Mr. Odgers proposed the following resolution :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the government having declared their intention of upholding the rating suffrage and two years' residence, have rendered the bill entirely unsatisfac tory, and that we cannot regard any proposition as satis fying the demands of working men unless the compound householder and lodger be recognised as citizens and en dowed as such with the elective franchise." Mr. Davis seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Malthorne, and agreed to. Mr. Cremer introduced a repo ' lution to the effect that a vigilance committee beappointed to act during the time the House of Commons is engaged in committee on the Reform Bill, for the purpose of scrutinising the action and votes of the members, also to consider the action and character of the various amend ments of which notice has or may be given, and that the committee be empowered to convene at any time a general meeting should it become necessary to take active steps to give effect to the wishes of the people on the bill now before the house. The resolution was agreed to went eon. Mr. Bannister brought forward a resolution in favour of holding open air reform meetings during the Easter holidays. The proposition was condemned as seeking by a " aide wind "to secure the holding of a reform meeting on Good Friday in violation of the promise made by Mr. Beales to Lord Shaftesbury and Mr. Gladstone. The consideration of the matter was ultimately adjourned for a week. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT. —Yesterday, in Mr. Dedson's committee of the House of Commons, the subjoined bills were passed through :—The Surrey and Sussex Junction Railway ; the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway; the Devon and Somerset (Deviation) Railway ; the Newry and Armagh Railway ; and the Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway. The Thames Navigation Bill was passed by the oomndttee in Group 0.

THE TRIAL OF GENERAL NELSON AND LIEUTENANT BRAND. CHARGE OK LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CoCKLURN. After our report left yesterday, The learned Lord Chief Justice proceeded to say that, to his profound astonishment, he hail lately read in print • statement that Petition of Right was of no efficacy beyond the shores of Great Britain, and hail no application to the niartial law pro— claimed by the Governor of Jamaica. Whoever wrote that statement must have wholly niiscontrued the character of that statute. The Petition of Right was not an enacting statute. but put a limit to the preram. tive of the crown, and declared what was the law and constitution of this oonntry. It expounded the common law of England, which was tipplicable, as he had already shown, to the colony of Jamaica. Military writers hail asserted that what was called maned law could be arbitrarily mita blished and enforced ; but for the most part they hail been misled by an erroueons reading of Blackstone. It was true that the Irish statute of 1798 gave statutory power to proclaim martial law in that country, and this was recited as an " undoubted power ; am! the English statute passed in 11432, for the continuance of martial law in Ireland. did the same in strong tenni', reciting the " acknowledged " power of the crown to exercise that right. But it must be r.ineuthered that this was not an enacting or declaratory statute, but merely a reservation made by parliamentary authority of he crown's nrerogative ; and he concluded that the pro visions of these statute* were of far miter weight than the mere opinions of learned but nut judicial persons. But undoubtedly there hail been nojudeial decision on the subject of this conflict of opinion; and further, he hail not had the advantage of hearing the questioniargned and discussed by members of the bar, and hence he felt that he had a most difficult duty to perform. Further, his learned colleagues were absent on circuit, and it was only yesterday that he had been able to have the advantage of consulting the learned and experienced judge who now set by his side. Rut it would be for the grand jury, first, to say whether martial law could be proclaimed in Jamaica by the governor standing in the position of the sovereign ; and next, whether, under the authority of the tribunal, constituted by that proclamation. the putting to death of Mr. Gordon was justified. Next they would have to consider whether, t-tippoiting there watturisiliction, the putting a man to death under such circum stances would oonstitute the crime of wilful murder. Supposing there was no jurisdiction at all, and that the judicial functions had been exercised by persona having no authority, and life wait taken, then in point of law that would undoubtedly be murder, for it wan murder to put a man to death without justification. But when such an act was done under a wrong notion of the possession of jurisdiction and bona fide, although it might not be murder, still, if such were the views of the grand jury, the justification of the act ought to be made before a jury of the countrymen of those who had taken upon themselves • jurisdictinu they did not peeress, and who under it had put to death one of the subjects of the Queen. Such was both the common and the statute law of England ; and Fr a thorough wrongful jurisdiction was exercised it deprived the crown of its brightest preroga tive—the prerogative of mercy, which would be put an end to. But it seemed that the Jamaica Act of 1780, for calling out the militia in that island, enabled the governor, if necessary, to proclaim martial law ; and so also did the Colonial Militia Act of 1645, passed in the ninth year of the reign of the present Queen. Now it could not be forgotten that in no colony had the mine of slavery been so severely felt. Mr. Montgomery Martin, in his History of the Colonies, " stated es approved authority that between the settlement of the colony and the year 1832, a period of 154 years, there had been no less than 2 8 insurrectious of the negroes, being an average of one insurrection in every 34 years, and that these had been put down with • degree of violence and barbarity at which any man may well shudder. In 1760 no less than 1,000 negroes were executed, or put to slaughter of every kind and description, under martial law ; and in the rebellion of 1831-2 • vast amount of exe cutions was made, and punishments of the most ex treme severity were resorted to ; and therefore it might be taken that, according to the views of the inhabitants, the governor had authority to proclaim and enforce martial law under the statutes to which he had already alluded. He now came to another branch of the subject, namely, whether the late Mr. George William Gordon was amenable to the jurisdiction of the court-martial who tried him, supposing they possessed lawful jurisdiction. On this point he reminded the grand jury that Kingston, where Mr. Gordon resided and had a placed business, was exempted from the proclamation, and that hearing that warrants were out against him after the outbreak, he pre sented himself at the residence of the commander-in-chief (General O'Connor) to give himself up, and there he was arrested by the governor and the cantos of the parish, taken on board a war steamer, and conveyed to Morant Bay, where martial law was in force, and a tribunal ready to receive him. Ho doubted the authority of the F overn or or costae to make the arrest, and he was of opinion that, having arrested him, they ought, instead of taking him to Morant Bay, to have handed him over to a civil tribunal, which could have been found in Kingston. The governor and custos were not military authorities, and their taking him to Morant Bay to be tried by a court-martial was a wholly unjustifiable proceeding on their part, and raised the im pression that this course was taken because it was thought they could not obtain his conviction before • properly constituted civil tribunal. Now as to the constitution of the court by which he was tried. By its constitution, consisting as it did of one naval and two military officers, it was of such a mixed nature that it was null and void, and was not a properly constituted tri bunal. lie now came to the evidence on which Gordon had been convicted, and which was remarkable for its inconclusiveness, and was utterly worthless. He had before him the record of the proceedings, and was deeply grieved to have to all attention to this ppart of the case, which was of such jnfinite gravity. His lordship then read in extenso the whole of the evidence taken beforethe court. martial, and at its conclusion remarked that depositions had been received from absent witnesses, and taken behind the back and in the absence of the accused ; which were totally inadmissible as evidence in • properly-constituted court of justice, honestly desirous of discharging its duty. It was, however, for tLe grand jury to say whether Mr. Gordon ought to have been convicted on the evidence which he had read to them. It was for them to say whether what wag done had been honestly done. In his letter s and publications he (the thief Justice) could not find anything which indiaatedany inten tion to promote an insurrection. On the contrary, the do 'temente indicated that he was • MA of rr Intention cumuli; inclicateu t......, - was the very essence of crime, and there was an absence of proof of any such intention as was ascribed to him ; and on the whole in his case there had been a lamentable miscarriage of justice. He bad now done his best to discharge the arduous duty he had undertaken. and it now devolved upon the grand jury to discharge theirs. Three cad events had occupied a large portion of the public time and of the public attention, and few persona had not felt an interest in the ample dis cussions which had taken place upon them, and no doubt persons had adopted different views. On the one hand, it was thought by some that the course taken in Jamaica was a scandal and a reproach on those who were concerned in the tortures which were inflicted, and was a reproach on the very name of England. On the other hand it was put that if this insurrection had been permitted to take its course, it would have been attended with consequences so horrible to contemplate, that any means for its suppiession and extinction was justifiable, no matter how contrary to law. But he could not forget that this rebellion or insurrection had been put down and crushed by a few military as soon as they appeared on the scene, and whose only business it was to pursue anal cap ture the offenders and bring them beck before the military tribunal& In his bumble judgment, if ever there was a case which called for the application of martial law, locking at the consternation and alarm which pervaded the whole island, looking at the circumstances in which the white population was placed, looking at the small military force available, and, further, looking at the consequences which might have ensued, this was the case. All of the gentlemen he addressed might have formed opinions of their own on this important matter, and it was for them to say whether t h ose who bad acted in the exercise of this martial law ought to be held up to public reprobation, or whether they ought to be crowned with the approval of a grateful country. He begged the grand jury for God's sake in the midst of these conflicting opinions not to allow passion or prejudice to enter into the sanctuary of justice. They bad now the law before them, and they had to say whether the law had been honestly, fairly, anal impartially administered in this in stance. If they thought that this was a case in which the conduct of the accused ought to be submitted to the con sideration of a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to fully consider anal authoritatively decide the important questions of law involved, then he must say that the safer course would he to let this matter go forward ; but if they were of opinion that the accused ought no further to be harassed by criminal proceedings, then they would say so by their finding ; if they thought the matter called for further inquiry, they would final the bill. He had detained them at ex treme length, but not longer than the importance of the case demanded. Ile had now completed his duty to the best of his poor ability, and they would now act according to what their consciences directed, and do justice between the accused and the public. The delivery of the charge by the learned judged occu pied nearly six hours.

CIXRICENWELL Mr. Wdlue,a, Waftey, cattle salesman and dealer, of the Metropolitan Cattle Market, wea summoned before Mr. Cooke, M the instance of the secretary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charged with cruelty to animals by exposing sheep for sale at the Metropolitan Cattle Market without proper covering, they having been recently shorn. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn• instructed by Mr. Love,prosecuted; and Mr. Field, solicitor, of Pinelley, defend ed. Last week it was proved that the sheep were exposed in the cattle market on a bleak, cold, and wet day, the ground being covered with snow, without any clothing on them, the sheep having been recently shorn. To prove that the defendant had been guilty of cruelty Professor Spooner, of the Royal Veterinary College, was called, and he deposed as follows :—I consider th e ac t s narra t e d are very cruel, and that the animate must have suffered a great deal. 1 have examined meat from animals that have been so exposed, and have found that it was very flinch dete riorated. The very fact of the animals standing with their hacks arched, their heads hanging down, and shivering, would show that they were suffering great pain. The skin of a sheep is highly sensitive and thi n , an d the removal of the wool would expose the nervei. The present practice of sheering sheep in cold weather is a most cruel one and ought to be supreseed. Mr. Cooke having taken time to consider his judgment, now said—The charge in fact is that the defendant Un treated this sheep by subjecting it to the inclemency of the weather without sufficient covering. The defendant admitted placing the sheep in the pen, but stated he had di ucted that the clothing sent with the sheep from tho country should be left off, n comequence of its being wet, and he considered it was better itshould be without cover ing than with a wet covering. Now, following the usual rule of the construction of statutes in such cases, I am of opinion a conviction cannot follow. The words of the 2nd section are, " Cruelly beat, ill-treat, over-drive, abuse, or torture any animal." The offence under. that section, I think, must consist of some act of cruelty or torture com mitted on the animal, and not simply an act of neglect, although that neglect may be cruel. I think further, to justify a conviction, that there must be evidence of cruelty which pre-supposes a males animus. Row ever improper the treatment of this sheep may have been, no cruelty seems to have been intended ; indeed the evidence is the reverse. This view is supported by refe rence to sec. 12, which does provide for a case of neglect, viz. where a lawful act is so performed as to inflict unne cessary pain on the animal. The present case might pro perly have been brought under this section, as being one where unnecessary pain wee inflicted in the performance of a lawful act, but section 12 is limited to the offence of causing such unnecessary pain when it arises in the conveyance of cattle, and to that alone. I era of opinion ' that what the defendant has done dorm not come within the meaning of the statute, and the summons will there fore be dismissed. I shall not allow costs. Mr. Ricketts said that Mr. Colam, the secretary of the society, who was in attendance, considered the decision of such importance that he had instructed him to ask the magistrate to state a case for the decision of the superior court. If the magistrate had decided against the defendant he understood that it was the intention of the defendant to ask for a case, as the matter was one of the greatest importance to the cattle trade. Mr. Cooke granted the case, and Mr. Colam, the - tar'', and Mr. Love, having entered into - the required recognizance., the proceedings terminated. THAMES. There hare been frequent complaints at this court on the part of poor women and others of the operations of the " Associated Sick and Burial Society of St. Patrick, 106, Duke-street, Liverpool." The members of it are almost exclusively poor Irish, and the contributions are collected by numerous agents. Two poor widows of Irishmen came before Mr. Paget a fortnight ago. One said she was en titled to Ti. on the death of her husband, but was declared " out of benefit "in consequence of her husband having fallen into arrear with his weekly contributions owing to the collector discontinuing his aills when he knew her hus band was ailing and likely to die. The second widow said she was entitled to 61, on the death of her husband, and she was declared " out of benefit " because her deceased husband was a few pence in arrear when he died. Mr. Paget said there was an arbitration clause in the Liverpool St. Patrick's Society, and he could not interfere. A poor woman named White, whose deceased brother, an Irishman, was a member of the Liverpool St. Patrick's Society, said he insured for 6/., and the money had not been paid to her. The excuse was that she was ` out of benefit," because he was six weeks in arrear, which was untrue. A weekly contribution of 4d. was entered by the collector and then crossed over. There was, in fact, only five weeks in arrear,and the contributMn book made out, by the trick practised by the collector, that six weeks' con tributions were owing. Five weeks' arrears did not dis qualify a member, but six weeks did. The applicant added that the treasurer for the East-end was a Roman catholic priest, dwelling in Poplar, and he did not know anything of the way the society was managed in Liverpool or London. Mr. Paget—l cannot help you. The London office is in Somers Town, and you may apply at the Marylebone police court. STRIKE Or ENGINE-DRIVERS ON THE NORTH EASTERN HAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning the whole of the engine -drivers on the Darlington section of the North- Eastern Railway, in connexion with the mineral and goods department, struck work. The reasons alleged by the men for this step are that faith has been broken with them by the railway authorities, and that arrangements agreed upon at a meeting with Mr. Fletcher, the locomotive superintendent, on Thursday last, have been broken by their foreman, Mr. BelL It appears that the men, besides being promised certain rates of wages and a fixed number of hours of work, were also told that they should have one day a week allowed as a "shed" day, for cleaning, packing, and keeping their engines in order. This work had previously, they state, been done partly in their own time. They state that on Monday their foreman broke this engagement by not permitting them to have their " shed " day, but instead of that putting them off work for a time, which would lessen their amount of pay. They had one or two interviews with their foreman, but not being able to come to an ar rangement with him they struck es stated, and the im mense traffic from the coal field of Durham and the other mineral products of that and the adjoining counties has been stopped. The men at Newcastle and other places on hearing by telegraph what had occurred at Darlington also struck, and one passenger-driver at Darlington had left work. It is feared that unless some agreement be come to that to-day will see the whole traffic passenger and mineral, on the line "impended, and oleo on the Stockton and Dar lington Railway. The locomotive superintendent (Mr. Fletcher) states that the men hold aloof from him, not withstanding that he has invited them to discuss their grievances, and always told them if they had a dispute to appeal to him. AN ABSURD Strurriow.—On Thursday last the Rev. James Hunt, incumbent of Northmoor Green, made application in the local police-court fur a wai-rant against • boy (whom he did not name), under the following singular and somewhat ludicrous circum stances:—He said that on Sunday afternoon last, after Divine service at Northmoor-green Church, a young woman, who formed one of the congregation, was being maltreated by a mob of twenty to thirty boys, " backed up " by a few men, and be (Mr. Hunt) interfered to pro- tect her. The evident design of the mob was to precipitate her into the river, but he frustrated this by catching hold of her clothes and pulling her back. The boy of whose conduct be complained got upon a donkey and rode it against him. The road was very narrow and the mud deep, and lie was covered with dirt. He got into an orchard, and while getting over the stile the boy caught hold of his coat and once pulled him back. Having left the orchard, the boy rode the donkey against him again. He endeavoured to escape, but was driven into a corner, and there the boy made the donkey kick him several times with its hind legs. Hoping to attract the attention of Mr. Sealy, who resided near, he called out " Murder !" thrice, and then the boy promised to let him go " for a shilling." With a view of "fa ilitating the ends of justice" he handed the boy the money, but again withdrew it on his demanding three shillings. Ulti mately he managed to get away. He understood that in thus molesting him, and not allowing him to pass away without a money payment, the boy was guilty of felony, and he accordingly asked for a warrant. The bench de clined to grant any more than a charge for a common assault. The rev. gentleman said he should not accept that, adding that he should " make application to the Court of Queen's Bench." THE FORTHGOMING EA.STER TERM.—Yesterday the arrears in the common law courts were made up for Easter term, commencing on Monday next The whole arrears of the three court, number 244, of which 116 are in the Queen's Bench, 49 in the Common Mae, sod 79 in the ' Exchequer.

In the special paper of the Queen's Bench there are 72 rules for argument ; in the Common Pleas, 54 ; and in the Exchequer, 10. Of enlarged rules there are 9 in the Queen's Bench, 5 in the Common Mesa, and 4 in the Ex chequer in the peremptory paper. There is only I post poned motion in the Common Pleas, and 4 oases standing for the judgment of the court, and in the Exchequer in the lint of errors and appalls there are 3 for judgment and 6 for argument. As the Lord Chancellor will give a recep tion to the judges on the first day of term, the courts not sit before 2 o'clock. Sir W. Bovill, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and the recently appointed Soli citor-General, will receive the congratulations of their learned brethren.
