He was leaning over it ; and where his head was, there he was held to be. I believe that it has been more than ones decided I before the courts in the sister colonies that the alio nial parliaments have not the same privileges that the imperial parliament bas; but only those conferred upon them by the imperialacts which called them into existence. So that in judging of this case you will not make comparisons with the imperial parliament. The estimates for the ensuing t year are now before the house, and it is now ea in voting the sup plies. Tree total estimated expenditure is 611,3911. Os. 10d. ; the revenue, 628,3801. Mr. Hindu, the inspector-general, showed in his place last night, and the statement was concurred in by the ex-inspector-general, that the provincial revenue since the union had always exceeded the expenditure in like proportion. He stated that there had been some difficulty in negotiating loans temporarily for the public works; but that, inasmuch as the revenge ex ceeded the expenditure, the country could not be con sidered in a state of financial embarrassment. The Governor-General came down to the house daring the week, and sanctioned a number of bills. The ministry are pressing business to get the session The weather is at present warm, bat very pleasant. WEST INDIES. We have received, ria New York, intelligence from Jamaica to the 13th ult. (seven dap later than the dates brought by the last Royal Mad Packet); from Honduras, to the 13th alt.; and from Havannah to the 17th ult. The principal items of news are u follows: JAMAICA. KINGSTON. JOLT Ib.: 7 l;;Viiiiiape of news, there is not much to commaaicate to yen by this opportunity. Our legislature has closed very quiet session , which only lasted eight or tea days. There were a• party squabbles. and little or se evidence of polite:al differences existiug ; bat the swim' was called for a special purpose, and this, no doubt, emanate for it. The ordinary period for their meeting is October, when I have eo doubt party difference will be revived, and then will be long and seamy debates again, shoat retrenchment la the public expenditure; bet I am pretty confident that neutron on the tinestion will be taken, for there are stem reasons for supposing that the " conser vative " or " retrenehmeut " party will be considerably weakened by the retirement of some members from the hoes% sad I Wok I may add, the duct= of ethers from the " senservative" ranks. _ Ths:;iiii;i:4;e ;pil4;A elections which has MT takes place is this Wand came off is Falmouth, in the pariah of Trelawney, on the 9th lost. It was for on. representative in the room of Samuel Magness. Esq., who ',slimed his seat. The candidates were William Smith, Req , of the Jarnalea Railway Company, sad Geormi Lyons, Keg , mo an fee the parish. Througheat the day neither gentleman was more than two or three vied of the other, sad in the afternoon the poll was closed, dedeging Mr. Smith the Titter, by s majority of one—the members polled beteg 161 and 160; sad what is quite strange to relate, is, that had the poll bees kept open one minute longer, there would have been a tie, as another vote appeared for Mr. Lyons the moment the poll was closed. Mr. Smith is a gentleman of subsume*, and awe then ordinary talent, for Jamaica; and I shall be disappointed if he is not the introducer of some salutary reforms in many of our inatitntions, where reform is tar. falsely mash required. The dinging ruction of Obethisao, I regret sincerely to say, are still on the increase. This great evil has called forth observations from the pulpit, the judicial seat, and the press, and I have a strong hope that one of the And laws introduced nest Nalliel will be of a stringent character, visiting the anthers of these ;unction with very severe pusishmeat. This, aided by education, will, I am sanguine, do much towards remedying a load, crying evil. Dc Cordora's Afereant di/ Intelligence?, from which I generally glean lay information respecting the markets, will not be published, I believe, for this steamer. As far as I sin able to report, in the absence of that useful little paper, there is no sew feature in the market. With the exceptions of a few articles, perhaps, the supply is pretty fair, and prices a little in advance of recent quotations are given. The weather is not by any means as pleasant u I could wish. While I now write we have same lair showers, at cempealed by vivid Waning. But the heat is, and ha bees for somisdays, intolerable. I shall be most happy U I enabled la ay Belt to report a favourable asap, bat I almost doubt it. HONDURAS.

The harvest in sugar will. scarcely amount to 600 casks, that is, the tenth of what our colony ex ported every year; and the v.-ant of money having prevented the renewal of plantations, it is unfortu nately too probable that we shall not derive from the cane sufficient sugar lo supply trade. Scarcely, indeed, will there ba 'sufficient for local consump tion." SOUTH AMERICA.—We have intelligence from Venezuet.s to Lune 12. The approaching election of Presids.nt was the subject of general excitement. The candWaste of the military party is General Monagas, a broener of the president now in office. The civil can diesates are Hendon, a senator from Cumuli, and Guzman, the present vioe president. All the candi dates claim to he liberals. They were opposed to the party of Gen. Peer. The officers of the government steamer which conveyed Gen. Parr from Cumana to St. Thomas, were immediately discharged from the service on their arrival at Porto Cabello.—The first of August is the day appointed for the presidential election. The newspaper published at Porto Cabello in opposition to Geo. blonagss has been suppressed by the authorities. The present incumbent of the executive chair is very unpopular with his fellow citizens, and is obliged to maintain a guard of fifty men at his private mansion in Caraccas. NATAL—Accounts from this colony state that the dispute with the emigrant, had been settled. An additional drawbrack of 51. is to be allowed to each adult emigrant, and they are to receive their allot ments on the lands of the late cotton company, which have been purchased by Mr. Byrse's agent. This decision had given general satisfaction. The emi grants were industriously employed in breaking up the ground and building houses, and they appeared determined to carry oat at once the object of their emigration. There bad been several arrivals of emigrants, also, from the Mauritius, who purposed commencing the cultivation of the sugar cane, the nature of the soil and the climate being well adapted for the purpose. One of the persons alluded to states that he has seen as fine canes along the Omgeni River, and also at D'Urban end Pietermarits Bay.: as ever grew elsewhere, and the success of the intended operations was looked upon as certain. A local paper says, "the sugar cane grows remarkably well at Natal. so much so as to astonish old and experienced West India and Mauritius planters who have found their way to the colony. With cotton and sugar as its staple., Natal cannot fail to advance with rapid strides to influence and wealth." A local bank was about being established, with a capital of 50,0001., in shares of 101. each. The number of vessels which entered inwards at the port daring the year ending Jan. 6, 1850, was 40, of 6,905 tons and 415 men; whilst the clearances outwards for the same period was 99 vessels, of 6,066 tons and 400 men. The total declared value of the staple articles of the colony exported in the year 1849 was 11,263/. 65.; and the total value of the goods imported into the colony, from all parts, 55,9211. 14s. 11d. AN AMERICAN ABDUCTION CARL—Met= Bern stein, who was compelled on Friday last to obey the order of the court and return to her relatives, from the companionship of Joubert, has, it seems. been (ally satisfied of the falsehoods by which this men gained her. On Saturday last, wrought up to teensy by the disgrace which he had entailed upon her, she undertook, with the aid of relatives and friends, to wreak a summary revenge. She vhited Joubert at his store, corner of Julia and Tuhoupitoulas streets, and invited him to walk with her, stating at the time that she had escaped from the custody of her family. The father of Joubert, suspecting danger, Insisted that he should not leave the house, but the fellow declared that he would face the world if Rebecca were with hint, donned his beet attire, and accompanied her. They lroceeded to the comer of Annunciation and Rise meets, fol owed at a short distance by them of her friends, who were there to aid her in case of an emergency. During the walk, Joubert communicated the fact that he had offered 1,000 dole. to an acquaintance, if be would assist him in again taking her from the guardianship of her family. While thus conversing, Rebecca suddenly threw off her bonnet, up. braided him in violent terms (or his infamous source, told him that she waa neighed of the falsehood of his solemn oath that he was not of a negro blood, sot a married man, and then, with a motion too gawk to allow his retreat, she drew a pistol from her dress, presented it, and fired, the ball pene trating his cheek and shattering the teeth of be left jaw. Joubert staggered, but the desperate girl finding ter work but partially done, instantly drew another pistol and plant ing It direcy is his face, palled the trigger. The weapon failed to second her intention. It snapped, sad her Mends fearing violence from Joubert, Immediately ease up to her aid. One of them, pistol in hand, advanced to the wounded man and offered a fair combat ; bat Re becca, declaring that she would vindicate her own cause, snatched the third weapon and again essayed to shoot the Late companion of has flight. Joubert retreated as the lieu pieta girl advanced, and he owes his life te the fact that she could not, with her Ignorance of the weapon &charge the load. A parlay here ensued in this singular stair, sad Jon bort, before the awe of perms assembled, deelared that slier Reheats had left her home be bed bat two interviews with her, both in the premise* el ethers.

WILLIAM ROBB. Sian we drew attention to the case of this nnfor tonere man, we have had communicated to us the results of further inquiries. They tend materially to streagthen the owe ia his &your. Oar readers will bear is mind that at the trial his sister►it-law, Martha Buckley, stated that she had sot employed Rom to purchase arsenic for her ; and that as he asserted she had, her testimony west far to shake the presumption established in his favour by his having taken a witness with him whom he pur -1 chased the poison. It now appears to us established beyond a doubt that Martha Buckley did employ Rom to purchase tunic for her, and that she got it from him. Mr. Gleorge Gill, a chemist, of Ashton-under-Lyne, has made &Merit upon oath that about a week or tea days before Whitsuntide last a female came to his shop snit asked him to sell her two pennyworth of arsenic [marlery]. Re told her be could not sell it her without a whines. She said," I live in Moseey, and how can I get a witness? I know where I can est it without one." Mr. Oill adds in his affidavit that he subsequently pointed oat Martha Buckley among a group of females to Mr. Thomas (Medals, superintendent of polioe, as the woman who requested him to ern the arsenic. Jane Roes, the sister of the prisoner, distinctly affirms that when William RIG§ was going in', o Ash ton with her, Martha Buckley said to him " he would save her the trouble of going tato Ashton if he would get her three penn'orth of arsenic ;" and that she gave him sixpence and told him t o bring, her threepence change, William Burton, of Ashton, stays :—" I acnempa nied William Ross to Roughtown from Ashton on the Friday previous to Whitson -week. He said to me, You can stand hers while I leave a small parcel with Martha Buckley, that she desired me to bring from Ashton.' He went into M ar th a Bnckleyre house, and returned in about Ave minutes." Ann Platt, wife of an engineer employed at Cru sh-mill, Moseley, declares that a few weeks before Mary Roes died, Martha Bockley said to her, "I went to Eli Wood [a druggist in Moseley) for some mork'ry, bat he refused ; but I did get some." With this unconcerted; concurring testimony of four witnesses (one of them upon oath) before us, to Martha Buckley's anxiety to pro2are arsenic, to her employing Ross to get it for her, to his carrying something to her from Ashton, and to her declaration that she had succeeded in procuring arsenic, it is dif ficult to withhold belief from his account of the manner in which he disposed of the arsenic he bought before a witness. It was asserted at the trial that all Roes's drawers were locked up. Jane Woracep, a neighbour, de clares positively on the contrary, " lam sure only one of the drawers was locked up, for I opened all the others to find something that was wanted." It was stated at the trial that Ross had not brought a medical man to see his wife before she died. Moses Jackson declares :—" I was at Dr. SchoSeld's the evening Mary Row died. The servant girl told me that Ross had been for the doctor, and beanie her master was not at home they recommended him to go for Dr. Helkyard." The credibility of this wit ness is strengthened by the declaration of Mr. Isaac Butterworth, a druggist, at Ashton, that when Mary Roes was ill her husband come for medicines to him two or three times in one day, and said, "I don't mind expense so that you can do her good." Mr. Butterworth states that Ross brought his wife to him the Sunday before her death and had medicine for her. He also says that he hes known Rose for twelve months, and that from what he knows of him he can not believe him guilty. Snail Wonnep, of Roughtowe, gives an account of • conversation she had with Martha Buckley on the day of Mrs. Roes's death. Sarah Worsuep, in answer to something said by Martha, observed, " I would not have given her any drink." Martha replied, "I'd give her anything to eat or drink while she lived; them that are up let 'em tarry up; them that are down let 'em dee." Ann Platt declares that on the same day, seeing Martha Buckley at her own door, she asked her how her sister was, and was told she was dead. In the course of the conversation Martha used the following strange expressions: "Our Mary is a d—d bad 'no, and he's no better." She added, "I have been there this morning for the rest of the swill." These additional inquiries appear completely to establish the fact, that but for the absence of Ross, confined on the charge of murdering his wife in York Castle, his mother-in-law and brother-in-law would have had a true bill found against them by the grand jury for breaking into the home of Edward Andrews, and stealing several things from it. A greet number of witnesses concur in representing William Ross as having lived on the host terms with his wife, and as mach affected by her death; Martha Buckley as utterly callous on that occasion, and as using immoral language respecting her both before and after her death. John Buckley, Esq., a justice of the peace, and Henry Buckley, a retired police-officer, concur in re presenting the Bottomleys, Dyer, and Martha Buck ley, the principal witnesses against Roes, as utterly unworthy of credit. It will be perceived from this brief abstract that the evidence collected since the trial goes not only to ' exonerate William Ross from the charge of murder, but to throw strong suspicions on Martha Backley, and to suggest a belief that Roue has been the victim of a conspiracy. Into this recriminatory charge we have no desire to enter ; we have no call to accuse any one. But after a deliberate and dispassionate scru tiny of the evidence collected, our firm belief is that William Ross is innocent of the crime for which he has been condemned to die. The late Sir Robert Peel has, we bear, left full and specific directions in his will for the early publication of his political memoirs; and has ordered that the profits ;wising from the publication shall be given to some public institution for the education of the work ing classes. As already stated, he has confided the ta'k of preparing these memoirs to Lord Mahon and Mr. Cardwell. Their duty will, however, be compa ratively light, though delicate, from the admirable and orderly state in which Sir Robert has left all his papery.

The unfortunate dispute between the Eastern Counties Railway, ;and the employes of the locomotive de partment has terminated in the resignation of the engine drivers and firemen in the service of the company. On Mon day afternoon after a conference with Mr. Ellie, one of the directors, no fewer than 178 notices were sect in, intimating their intention of quitting the company's employment on Mond.) , neat. In the evening a large meeting of the body was held at the George, Stratford, for the purpose of considering the course they should pursue during the dispute. The Chairman said, that, in accordance with the wish of the meeting on the previous day he had accompanied the deputation appointed to present the memorial to the directors. Mtn some time, the cheirmam and deputy chairman being out of town, they succeeded in seeing Mr. Ellis, a director, and he then proceeded to detail to him the Grievances under which the men had laboured since the introduction of Mr. Gooch. Mr. Ella listened very atten tively to their statements, end while he regretted that there should be any dispute between them and the company, remarked that be was not prepared to give them any answer to their application. In conformity, therefore, with the previous determination of the firemen and drivers, the whole of the notices of their resignations were sent in to the office of the company's superintendent. Au important resolution was then adopted, viz., that the drivers should not work with strange mates, firemen, and that if a stranger was placed upon the engine with them that they should immediately quit it, and allow the stranger either to proceed with the engine or leave it. They argued that this was no refusal of duty, they only declined to travel with a stranger, but, even if it was a refusal, the company would have their task in fining or imprisoning the whole of them. This was the way the London and North Western men su:ceeded, and they urged that they must do the same if they wished to be victorious. The meeting having been addressed by several speakers, and the fitters pledging themselves nct to perform the duties of driver or firemen if called upon, the assemblage broke up. Maims° or ran Dtaecroaa.—Yesterday the directors of the company had a board meeting on the subject, which lasted some time. We understand that the complaints of the men were taken into consideration, and that the beard came to the conclusion that they were of a far different character than had been represented by them, and, therefore, con firmed Mr. Cictich's conduct. It was also said that the coin pany bad adopted every precaution in running the trains and carrying on the traffic is the event of the driven and firemen quitting as they propose on Monday morning nest. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registry-General's Report.) The mortality in London is Still increasing. The deaths registered in the last week were 997, while the deaths In the four weeks precediag were 781, 863, 898, 917. The increase in the time exceeds 200 a week. The deaths are, however, below the average of the corresponding weeks of 1840 9, after correetleg for population, and excluding the corresponding fatal week of 1849, when the deaths were 1,909, and 823 persons died of cholera. The corrected ave rage is 1,019, while the actual deaths were 997. Small-pox woe fatal last week to 15 persons, measles to 13. scarlatina to 21, hooping-cough to 25, typhus to 35, and erysipelas to 4. Nine deaths from child birth were registered. The deaths from diarrbcos were 162; namely, 124 children under the age of 15, nine adults between the axes of 15 and 60, end 19 persons of ages over 60. Of cholera, 12 children and three adults died. The number exceeds the deaths from cholera in the oorrespondiog weeks of 1840 6, but is less than those in the corresponding weeks of 1846.9, when 37, 16, 19, and 823 deaths were ascribed to that malady. There is nothing to indicate the mien's°, an epidemic either in the number of deaths from cholera, or In the character of the cues recorded below in some detail; but the mortality from diarrhma is an untoward symptom, which deserves the attention of Mom who have the power to adopt precautionary measures. Of the 15 fatal eases of cholera recorded, 11 occurred amongst young children under 5 pars of age, and 4at more advanced ages. The particulars of each case are as follows :—On the Bth August, at 21, Cauterise-street, Limehouse, the eon of a beerehop keeper, " infantile cholera." In Rennicgton, at 6, Ruuell.terrace, the 4th August, a gentleman, aged 69 yetis, of temperate Manta, "Asiatic cholera " (10 hours). On the 3rd August, at 8, Elder-street, Norton Folgate, the daughter of a w , aged 3 months, "cholera Anglica (1 week)." At 17, Grandy-street, Poplar, the 6th of August, widow of a lodging-house keeper, aged 49 years, " English cholera (6 days)." At 107, Long-leate, St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, the 7th August, a daughter of a journeyman hearth-rug maker, aged 4 yean, died of " cholera (10 hours) :" the mother states that the child was In perfect health op to the time of the attack. In fit. Mary Newington, the 7th August, e ars 63, Paragon-row, the daughter of &labourer, aged 7 y, "Englisla cholera (20 hours)." In the same neighbourhood, at 4, Fork-buildings, the Bth August, the daughter of a hatter, aged 11 months, "English cholera (18 hours)." At Clark's-buildings, Greenwich, the 3rd August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 6 namtiks, "Eustis& cholera (6 days)." At 6, Blom field-street, Delsem, the 3rd August, the son of a commission agent, aged 6 months, " infantile ebelers (2 days), eonvalsiene (6 hours)." Oa the 6th August, at 5, Butchieon's Avenue, Aldgate, the son of a labourer, aged 8 months, " simple dimities (7 days), choleraic diarrhea." At 1, Esat.strest, Finsbury-market, Shorediteh, the sou of a labourer, aged 4 years, " cholera maligns (12 hours.)" Mr. Rules, the registrar, states that " the child was previously 11l for seven weeks from intermittent fever, the neighbour hood is well drained and healthy."

The barometer at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was low during the week ; the corrected average reading was 29 651 inches. The mean temperature of the air in the shade was 64.2 deg. Lear 2.7 deg. above the average tempera ture of the week. The temperature of the Thames ranged from 63 deg. to 68 deg. The air was dry, showed little electricity, and passed over the Observatory at the average rata of 120 miles a day.

The council of the Tenant League have copilot need daily meetings in committee, and the provincial members have for the most part taken their departure for the purpose of working the move ment throughout the country. Quarterly gene ral meetings of the league are to be held, but these are not to take place in Dublin, it being the intention to select the principal provincial town for the purp3se, and the first of the meetings will most probably be held at Belfast. In this re spect, aa well as in many others, the present agitation differs very materially from any preceding one, as centralisation of such popular movements in Dublin has been hitherto their characteristic. Local asso ciations will be established, but these will of course be entirely unconnected with the league, except in 90 far se they may be supposed to work upon the same principles and with the same otjecia. There is the utmost desire on the part of the Council of the League to avoid everything in their constitution, and in their operations, which could be construed into illegality, nor is it likely that they will take any im portant step without having previously sounded the way before them by good legal advice. btill there can b 3 no doubt that a formidable—a most formidable organisation is on foot, and that it has now become highly probable that it will be productive of result. most important to the social state of this country. The organ. of the landlords have begun to Blond the alarm, but instead of wisely and honestly urging their friends to a coarse of moderation and mutual justice and conciliation, they are madly driving them to hostilities which they must find fatel. The Mai/ of last night says : We msy well suggest to the Iriih landlords a clmbina , ion for mutual defence and protection, and • nirror, nt e..by meat of those partial means of ridrem which tae resent imperfect state of the law still affords. Th e defeat of Lord Locus's bill for the centiscstion of the growing crops has been a most fortunate cir cumstance. The Cork E.ramtner, echoing the satis faction of the whole liberal press, says : Thanks to the energy and perseverance of a few mothers, among whom Messrs. Bright end M'Cullach hove distin• gnashed themselves, the unjust and lending to II of Lord Lunen is abandoned. The government coquetted as !ong as they °cold; but when the opposition to it was pernver.d in, and they were forced to assume a decided position, they re ceded from the qualified approval which they hod originally expressed of its provisions. With great 'abstention we re word this vict , :ry won to justice and right, and especially by the exertions of our own representatives, and with the aid of the manly friend of Ireland above earned . The festivities by which the royal visit of lest year to Belfak was celebrated there on Saturday, came off with great eclat. There were boat races, and all the entertainment of • public ball on Queen's Inland, amidst brilliant decorations, and in the evening the public were amused with fireworks. THE CI:PPE-STREET SAVINGS BANK CASE.—Yee tetchy the City Grand Jury found true bills against John Emanuel Enplane, for embizzlentent, se cashier of the Cuffe s'reet Savings Bank. MUSIC. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A new star has appeared on our operatic horizon— ' a star, too, which promises to be of the first mega:- tude. Madame Fiorentini, who appeared last night in "Norma," produced a sensation such as we have not often witnessed in her Majesty's Theatre. She is, it seems, a Spaniard by birth, but the wife of an English officer. Her musical education has been received here, her instructor baying been Critelli. She went last year to Berlin, where she made her first public appearance, and performed the principal characters on the Italian stage during the season with very great success. Her career, however, though brilliant, had been so very short that her name had been scarcely heard of here, and her splendid appearance last eveting took the audience completely by surprise. Her per formance has shown that though very young, she is already, as a singer, a consummate artist, and that she is so highly gifted, both in person and mind, that she cannot fail, with a little more experience of the stage, to be a great actress. She is beautiful in face and figure, with fine Spanish features, illumined by eyes of singular brightness and power of expression. Her action is full of impulse and feeling, and yet it has still to gain that graceful ease which practice or ly can bestow. Like all young performers, she has fallen into habits of which she must get rid, especially a way of swaying her body backwards and forwards, and of alternately stooping and drawing herself up as if her stature were constantly changing. She has two or three habitual gestures, such as clasping her hands together before her breast ; very expressive as an attitude of {suppli cation, and beautiful when she was singing " Casts diva," but not to be used except on such occasions. With her personal advantages, however, these faults of inexperieece will easily be removed. As a singer she is already of the highest class. A more charming voice is not to be heard anywhere. It hag every quality—power, sweetness, flexibility, and equality of tone throughout an immense compass, rising, without the slightest crudity or harshness, to the very highest region of the soprano. Her articule. Lion is perfect, her intonation as true as the finest in strument, and the beautiful roundness and finish of her phrases is in the highest style of art. Though not a native Italian, her elocution is pure, and her de. clamation remarkably fine. Her noble and impres sive delivery of Norma's opening address to the tar bulent multitude, " Sediziose voci," at once settled her position with the audience. Her whole conception of the character was admirable, though she was more successful in painting its soft than its terrible features. There was, however, one grand burst of passion scarcely surpassed by Grisi herself ; when -Verna:, in her phrenzy of outraged feeling tells her betrayer to tremble— Train per me, fellone, Per too figlio, per to' The pathos of some of the softer passages has rover we are convinced, been exceeded by any one ; at least we can say, for ourselves, that the heart-touching up. peal in the closing scene:" Qual cor tradisti !" moved 1 1 us more deeply than it ever moved as before. The whole opera was beautifully performed. A better Pollione and a better "fridges(' than Gardani and Madame Giuliani are not to be found on the stage. They both outdid themselves on this occasion, and were rewarded by warm applause. As to La blache, his °rotes°, like many others of his parts, stands alone and unrivalled. Madame Florentines reception was enthusiastic in the highest degree. Several of the most striking scenes closed amid thunders of applause, which lasted till she reappeared to make her acknowledgements; and at the end of the opera she had to come three times before the curtain in compliance with the acclama tions which resounded from every part of the house. She can only appear once again, as the theatre is lon the eve of closing, but we must surely have her next season. ROYAL COLLEGE OP SURGEONB.—At the lent meet ing of the council, Mr. C. J. Philbrith, of Kidderminster, was admitted a fellow of the college. The court of exami ners met for the last time this session on the 12th instant, when the following gentlemen were admitted members of the college : Messrs G. H. Watts, Newburi o , a l 4 3erkshire ; H. Behrend, Canning-street, Liverpool ;M. an, Tuam ;W. H. Clarke, Hennetty, King's County; G. *dsdall, Hull ; and W. T. King, Thurlow•place, Hackney-road. SAYINGS IN COUNTY EXI'ENDITURS. A long called for reform has been effected by Mr. Justice Wight man, at the present usizes for Lancashire, holding in Liver pool, having for its object the reduction of expenditure in criminal proucutions by a saving of the tint. and expenses of witnesses. At previous courts of assize it has been cm ternary for the whole of the witnesses in all cases of crown prosecutions, from all parts of the county within the hun dreds of Salford and West Derby, to be summoned to Liverpool on the first day of the is, there to be kept till the prisoners in such eases were convicted or dis charged. The waste of money for keeping witnesses to gether in cases which were not likely to be brought be fore the grand jury for several days, was thus very con siderable. The business of the psrssat Noises commenced on Monday. From Manche stir (says cur correspond ent), supposing the grand jury to be kept toge ther till Thursday evening, which is generally the case, out of 300 witnesses, it is probable that 225 would not be wanted till altar Monday, that 150 will not be wanted till after Tuesday, and that 75 will not be wanted till after Wednesday ; and the saving that would be effected by keep ing these witnesses back at an allowance of fa each per day —which is the smallest sum paid—is 1124 10s. But the saving will be much greater than that ; the witnesses are elasailled, and &irks are paid 7s. 6d. per day expenees, and tradesmen 15s. But in addition to the mere money saving, the relief to witnesses who can ill be spared from their ordi nary business, will be very considerable, and the Worst thus affected is one therefore of very great importance. The clerk of the crown, on this occasion, acting by the order of Mr. Justice Wightman, appears to have adopted some such calculation, for the witnesses in 16 yroseaulions only are subporaned for Monday, in It) for Tuesday, in 20 for Wed nesday, and in the remaining cases for Thursday. _ .g 1 0 .j ) ) V --w . , / ~ 4 • , Z. \ ..i %. 1.- ./ 1 11 1, ii i I ' 1 i , 1, 1
