Lord Bllol't :HAM briefly supported the bill, but was of opinion that the bills intrialuced by himself in I$J, and 1645 would have carried out the object better.

Si. G. C. LEWIS said he was afraid there was little chance of getting these returns very soon. It was 1111C01- sary to scud a circular to every peril in England, and he was informed that 'whets these voluminorm returns were °Mantel it would be neoeseary to employ two or three clerks for several melba to clarify them, and put them in the shape required. The home had lately paired a bll by which they would be ambled to obtain an annual return with regard to this and other local rates, and he trusted that when that act was carried into operation they would get more accurate retains than they would get under any single order made by the house.

Sir G. C. said the only answer he could give was, that the act for the imposition of an income tax of ten pence iu the pound, having maned both branches of the legis lative and received the smut of the crown, had become the law of the land, and it was the duty of the Conunissioneve of Inland Revenue to carry it into effect in the same man ner AI they carried into effect previous acts for the same Pu r e iILALLET said he did not esk any q cation about the income arix, het the liaseciel arrangement :of which the income tax formed a put.

CHURCHILL asked the President of the Board of Trade when the report of the commission ap po inted to inquire into the merits at eebmariue telegraph ca ble s would be laid upon the table at the house. Mr. M. GIBSON said experiments had been made, and were practically concluded. He bad every reason to believe that the report would be laid on the table When the close of the session. I*.kPER DUTIES REPEAL BILL. Lord PEltitoY, who hid a notice of motion which stood second on the paper, to the seed that the rejection by the House of Lords for the repeal of the paper duties was an encroachment on the rights and privileges of the House of Commons, and that it was therefore incumbent sport the house to adopt a practical meeenre for the vindication of its rights and privileges, said he wished to pea a question to the Speaker on a point of order, whether his motion was a matter of pririlege and entitled to precedence. 'Du SPEAKER said a question of privilege took pre cedence on matters which had recently arisen. It could not be said that the subject-matter of the motion of the noble lord had recently arises, because several days ago the First Lord of the Treasury proposed a resolution to the house on the same subject, and which the house adopted While the house reserved to itself on every occasion the power at once to proceed with any matter which it might think neousary, still it did not permit the claim of a mem ber to preosduce unless the prescribed requirements were Nista and it appeared to him that on the present occa sion those requirements were not fulfilled, and he did not think that the noble lord wu entitled to precedence. THE ATTENDANCE OF MLNLSTERS IN THE • HOUSE Sir J. P.kILINGTON mid he wished to pot • question to the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, bet as the hon. gentleman was not present be wished to ask the Beerebery for the Home Department, to whom he assumed the house must look, as the *Nucor member of the government pre sent, whether it was or was not understood in the house that the ministers of the crown and the heads of depart meats were expected to be in parliament at the usual = for commencing businese, in order to answer any question which might be put to them. It was desirable they should know whether or riot that was the understanding, and if it were he asked the right lon. gentleman whether he would minks be with his colleagues that the practice mught be observed. On G. C. LEWIS—The right bon. gentleman is quite cor rect as to what is the general understanding in the house regarding the attendance of ministers, but I believe the Under Secretary for the Colonies is in his place. (Laughter.) THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS. Yr.

LEWIS aid he did not know that he could give any other answer to the question than he had already given. The has, gentleman beard the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night, when his right honourable friend gave • full exposition of the views of the government with regard to supplemental ways and means foe the service of the present year. He hal nothing whatever to add to that state ment, and he apprehe nde d that if the bon. gentleman re peated his question to the First Lord of the Treasury or to the Chancellor of the Exchequer be could only receive the same answer. HOSTILITIES IN NEW ZEALAND. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any accounts had been received of the people of the provinces of New Zealand, not immediately threatened by Maori hostilities, volunteering for the amis. lance of their fellow-colonists at Taranaki ; whether any intimation had been received hum the colonial rvernment of its intention to propose to the colonial parliament any vote for the purpose of oostributina to the ex pen. of the civil war ; or, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's t that the whole expense should be d e frayed =tre ° imperial tresmer7 Mr. CHILDERS void before the hon. gentleman answered the question, he wished to ask whether the volunteers in the Australian colonies had to a large extent volunteered themselves for service. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said with regard to the last ques tion put they had had a number of °Ml's made by inhale ,' tante of the Australian colonies, particularly at Melbourne, offers from volunteers reedy to proceed if necesaary to New Zealand, to assist their fellow-country mem there; but he was not aware whether tines olfers had been accepted, or that any body of volunteers had actually gone to New Zealand. lie knew, however, that the inhabitants of Auckland had been active in organising volunteers. With regard to the first part of Mr. Adderley'm questioo, he had not beard of any proposition by the government fur • vote to the colonial parliaineut, which, indeed, had not yet met; but he had no reason to believe that it was the intention of the New Zea land government to call on the imperial government to pay the expense of the colonies with regard to volunteers and militia. With regard to the last part of the question, it would be premature to state what was the intention of her Majesty's goverunieut as to what part of the expense should be defrayed by the imperial government. GEELONG AND ME LBO URNE RAILWAY. Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether say commemicatioa bad been received tree the government of Victoria in ragman to the negotiations with the Geelong and Melbourne Rail way Company for the mahout and transfer of that under taking the colonial govatameat eines the pablicatiou of a parliamentary paper on the subject, ordered to be printed on 11th Auguak DM No. 183, of Messiqn 2, 18130.

FORTESCUE rid he had been pressing forward the printing of these papers as much as puenhie, and they should be produced as soon as priesihle. THE VOTE FOR FORTIFICATIONS. Mr. HI sPWOOD asked the First Lora r.f the Treasury when be would make his promised a tatecient to the bows on the subject of the national fortifications. Lord PALMERSTON said he should probably make it oo Friday, but he would give formal notice. tfATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. I. BUTT moved that an humble address be presented to bey Majesty reprimanding that this house has loused with *vet that many of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland are prevented by conscientious objections from availing tramways,* of the benefit ef the funds voted by this rause for the promotion of rational education in Ireland ; and paying her Majesty to direct inquirie s to be made whether such claws might sot be made in the rules under which that grant is distributed as wopid enable aD cranes in Ireland to enjoy the advantanse which that u intended to secure to the huh people. were imposing open Ireland a system which the rasa 7isapproved, and a system which accordini to the twits an experience cost best mlculated to crush and depress ' the *nevem of the nation.

He believed that th e pediment which established the system would not sow desert it, especially when the Primate had given ' it his concurrenee and the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland had become its ad vocate, and when throughout boned there bad been an irresistible feeling in its favour. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LEFItOY thought the clergy of the church of Ireland should have instance from the national funds, that they might be able to earry on their present course of instruction in their wheals, referring to the Holy Bible in support of those truths which they thought it Deed. eery to inculcate. Mr. P. HENNESSY moved that the debate be now ad (Cries of " Oh," and cheers.) He hardly thought fair that Irish members should occupy the whole of the algid, aid as there was an important notice on the paper he thought it desirable that the debate should be adjourned. Mr. B. 013/101iNE mid, here was • member for an Irish county who was eonetantly making complainte that Irish business wee not amid on, and when it commenced in good earnest he got up and moved the adjournment. Now, he had a considerable interest in this question, per haps more eo than the hon. gentleman, and be thought the debate, which had been well conducted, ought to be allowed to proceed. The O'DONOOMUE mid he hoped his hon. friend would penmen is his motion. Lord PALMERSTON mid he hoped the house would not epee to the motion for adjourning the debate.

Then the right hon. ;e l :Yemen ante down and used language which bordered on the veep of revolution—language as strong as could be veld at any chartist meeting. (Hear.) All his feelings were roused by the eloquence of the right hon. gentlemen ; but after all this the right bon. gentleman came down to the house last night, quietly putting his tail between his feet. (Laughter.) The noble lord the member for the City of London, whom he sincerely respected, was silent. He believed that if her Majeetfs government had been in opposition they would have heard a very different tone. He could not overrate the importance of the question. He felt that something had gone out of them-- (laughter) —that their most precious privilege bad been invaded. He should prefer to see the French in Yorkshire. (Lett% and cries of "Order , order.") He repeated it, he pre fer to see the French in Yorkshire, because he believed they would soon be obliged to retire ; but in the ease of this aggression of the House of Lords upon the House of Com mons he had no such hope. (Hear, hear.) He recollected what an eminent writer on theeonstitution said, " What day is fact to-morrow is precedent, and next day will be law." The day would come when they would hear more of this question. They were merging fast in the state of France when the Tete and Cutieres affair took place. They bad a narrow suffrage and general corruption. Every contrast was a job. (Hear, hear.) The public knew these things, and the day was not far off when the people weld manifest what they felt. He believed he was acting in the spirit of a true conservative when he recommended them to with draw their opposition. They would be made responsible for every financial calamity that took place in the country. (" Oh, oh," and "Hear hear.") The House of Commons was responsible for the finances of the country, but if their plans were upset and defeated, those who defeated them ought to be, and would be, held responeible. He should therefore recommend the House of Lords to come down in sackcloth and ashes, and to relent of what they had done. (" Hear, hear," and laughter. Mr. CLAY, although he f t the humiliation which the house had suffered in consequence of the premeditated act of the Lords, deeply regretted the motion, which, in his opinion, was in every way melees, and would damage the position of that house. He differed from Lord Fermoy in his estimate of the opinion of the peop i l l e a m di this ques tion, believing that the majority did not • support that house, but agreed in the financial sagacity of e Home of Lords. The JR of the EXCHEQUER said he entirely concurred in the wisdom of the course proposed by Lord Palmerston. The second part of the motion amounted to so many words, and no more; while it gave to the country an appearance of their being in earnest, without any pledge or guarantee of their sincerity. To pas a further resolution, after having re solved inrea7thing the subject required, would not advance the public interests. It was sot desirable, in his to multip ly protests and wordy declarations. The &r u ns!: tire was - Oence on the one hand or action on the other. Mr. OSBORNE said, if he understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer, be was willing, after calling the proceeding of the House of Lords 4 a gigantic innovation," when paired for money to put it in his pocket and defer the constitutional question. He did not agree with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, who had formerly urged the house to " action," nor with Lord Permoy, whose resolution he thought singularly ill-timed. It was • fourth resolution, in addition to the three miserable resolutions, and it only told them to put what gloss upon it they liked. After a few remarks from Mr. CONINOHAM, modem natory of the attack upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. DISRAELI observed that the attitude of the MIMI party towards the government placed the house is a rather embarrassing position ; but, whatever was the awes of that position, the question was a very serious= and much depended upon the manner in it was encountered. He could not agree with the proposed radiation, which, in the first part, was incon sistent with the second of the three resolutions which the house had passed unanimously • few d ays ; with regard to the other part, the house, he thought . had vindicated its rights and privileges , an he shad= himself if he concurred in it. lint what was the seem naxonmeaded by the government The Imam and dignity of the House of Commons and of the Witty re quwed that they should stood by the three resolutions, and not weaken the position of the house. The souse taken by the government was • moat unwise one ; if Lord Pal merston would withdraw the previous question, and meet the motion by a direct negative, he would support him. Sir G. UItEY denied that the right hon. gentleman was justified in assuming that his noble friend was anxious again to unsettle this question. His noble friend merely wished to rest the case upon those resolutions which the house had passed, and which he was satisfied were sufficient for the pur pose. If the house adopted the previous question, the purport of that step would be merely to assert the determination of the house not to re-open the controversy. (Hear.) Lord FERMOY having replied, Mr. BOUN'ERIE moved the adjournment of the debate, but the nroposal was negatived without • divirion. The haute then divided on the previous question— =hely, " That the question be now put." Ayes LIB Noes 177-30 The question was therefore not put. The numbers were received with loud cheers below the gangway. SALMON FISHERIES (ENGLAND AND WALES). FENWICK moved that an humble addles' be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that she would be greeiougy pleased to bane a commieson of inquiry into the salmon fisheries of England and Wales, with the view of increasing the supply of • valuable article of food for the benefit of the public. Sir G. LEWIS assented to the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. fIE—NNESSY said a document had been alluded to which had been forwarded by the Irish bishops. That document would be introduced in a few weete—ia laugh)— would be introduced by his honourable friend the member for Dungarvan, provided the estimates could be brought on by that time. They were sated for a vote of 170,000/. for a system of education which had not the confidence of either the protestants or esthetics of Ireland. In all our colonies the religions distinctions of the people were considered in educational schemes ; but what wan good for Hindostan would not be tolerated in Ireland, where presbyterians, church of Es:gland men, and Roman catholic* were all sub. misted to a system of mixed education. Yr. I. SUIT replied, repeating his assertion that the national system of education ins not approved of 134% sect or party in Ireland. The Beerefary - for Ireland that the Primate of Ireland bad withdrawn hie objections ; but the fact was that his lordship bad been shamed into submission by the imposeibility of getting education for the protestant children on any other terms. Was it fair, be would ask, to impose a system on Ireland which was not at tempted in England The home divided : VOLUNTEERS (=LAND). Colonel FRENCH moved fur leave to bring in a bill to extend to Ireland all power to make rules and regulations for the enrolment and organisation of volunteer corps which are now by law applicable to Great Britain. The pliant member stated that there were • large number of persona in Ireland (probably not leas than 8,000 or 9,000) who ware anxious to take their share in the defence of their country, if the government would permit their enrolment. Visomaut YAi.MERi TON said that if the government bad thought that on the whole the formation of rifle corps in Ireland was desirable they would themselves have brought is a bill ; but for various reasons which he had had the honour to state the other evening, they did not think it was expedient, and therefore they could not agree to the motion. It was not from any distrust of the Irish people that they took this course ; neither was it because the government doubted the perfect readiness of Irish volunteers to tight. (A laugh.) The fear was rather that in the absence of an external enemy they might indulge themselvsmin encounters which watild not be exactly sham fights. (lauighter.) Colonel DICKSON protested against them remark'. Mr. O'BRIEN was not prepueel to !upped • measure which would only have the effect of arming one portion of the population against the other. Colonel GREVILLE thought the question was one of =penance ; and as it was lately to lead to much on he wout mom that the house do adjourn. Mr. HORSMAN supportal the motion, remarking that the Speaker had been in the chair l4i hours, and the right hon. gentleman would have to be in the chair spin at twelve.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) BE WHOP AND tARI3ISIDGE—JUIXIMENT._ The bankrupts were East India merchant'', of Cornhill, whose application fur a certificate was recently before the court, when they were opposed on several grounds. His Honour, in delivering judgment, said improvident trading was patent on the balance-sheet. The bankrupts commenced business in January, 1859, as East India mer chants, with little or no capital, and in the abort period of nine months they ended with liabilities amounting to above 12,0001., and without prospect of any dividend fur their creditors ; but paver charges had been urged in op po sition to the application of the bankrupts for their certtes— first, • fraudulent preference in favour of Messrs. (ippon. helm and Co. ; secondly, a fraudulent trailing iu pur chasiog goods on credit for the purpose of plods. ing them. As to the first charge, he was of opinion that what the law deems • fraudulent preference bad tat been established. The payment in question made to Oppenheim and Co. did not originate with the bankrupts; on the contrary, they ware pressed for sad insisted upon by Messrs. 9ppeubeim, or, rather, by Mr. Charles Oppenheim, and in • most extraordinar y manner. Nevertheless the bankrupts were guilty of iite .,;. pen : priety of conduct in yielding to the pressure of and making the payments which they did to firm to the prejudice of the general body of creditors, sad this im putation applied more particularly to the payments made after they were keepin out of the way to avoid arrest, and after a ju dgment obtained spirt them by Messrs. Newbold amid Co.. of creditors. With respect to the al th ough tained of Messrs. Andrews and Messrs. Lowthian, alou they were pledged almost nu ' mediately, the orders for them were given in July, and some application was nude to the Mercantile Bank with A view of shipping them for the India market • but that oh. jest , not being cat rind out, the goods were Pledged. and • portion o! the advance upon them found its way to Mean. Oppenhoim, whilst the straightforward and honest course for the bankrupts would hove been to have taken steps either to return Mews. Andreas' or Messrs. Low thisies goods, or at all event., to hays deferred no longer the duty eif calling theirereditors together. Than with referee°, to the geeds or d e r e d of Messrs. Ward and CO., of Leeds, the conduct of the bankrupt was still mum blameable. Whatever doubt there might be of the dealing with Meson. Ward coining within the third heed of the offences enn merited in the 1158th mention, for snot of more I direst evidence of Hui huairaplintsodulent Mollies at the time the order for the goods was given, he felt bound to treat the conduct of the aL .lanpU, with respect to the re tinue and to the mode of dealing with these goods as a Messed transaction. In conchision, his Honour said—Re viewing then all the circumstances of this short and heed less souse of trading, I look in vain for any jurti fi cation or moo for the conduct of the bankrupt; towards Kamm Newbold, Noun. Andrews, Nears. Lowthian, and Nears. Ward, of Leeds. In the first three maul think it was mobiles, and in the lad tainted with fraud. The judgment of the court, therefore, ie that the certi fi cates of the bank rupts be suspended for three years from the day of hearing the application, and that when granted they be of the third =l:d that the bankrupts be without protection for six Mr. Lumley (Lumley and Lumley, Ludgate-hill), for Mr. C. Oppenheim, addressed a few observations to the court, after which the parties retired. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—BwroaD, JULY 17. Ntet Paws Coort.itl os ve th ) e Lord Chief Justice of the Pleas. HARTWELL V. VIASIT AND wise. This was an adieu for dander, the declaration alleging that Kn. V falsely , and maliciously spoke and pub lished of the the words following, that is to say, "He kissed and embraced Anna Maria Brewer." The de fendant pleaded " justification" and nut guilty. The plain tiff was at the time in question in the employ of the Duke of Bedford, patron of the parish church of Woburn. his du ties being to dean the church, attend to the gas in the church, schools, yard, ho., at a salary of 124 10d, per week. The girl whom the _plaintiff was charged with having " kneed and embraced" was servant of the schoolmistress, and helped to teach in the infant school. The plaintiff is 67 years of age, wee for eleven years in the army, having fought at Waterloo ; before going into the army was in the service of the then Duke of Bedford, and upon quitting the army again entered his grace's ser vice, where to the day of his dismissal, in January Let, he so remained. It appeared that on the 3rd of January the defendant called upon Mal Stevens, the mistress of the infant school, and on opening the school yard door from the Aron sew the plaintiff and the girl in the manage the ta ami wan round the girl, and he app eared a r " kissing and embracing' her. She imme diately went to the incumbent, a Mr. Cumberlige, but not finding him at home called again in the morning, and told her tale. He immediately wrote a letter of complaint to Mr. Bennett, the duke's steward, saying, " to use Mrs. Veasey's own terms, she found Hartwell kissing and um- Uniting Ann Brewer in the peas!ge leading to the schools." The rev. gentleman also added, lam too well acquainted with Hartwell's character to make this matter of mush w pm" to ams." (Upon being cress-examined by Mr. O'Mal ley this witness a dm itted that this insinuation referred to lus having seen a girl run after the old man with • mop, and having found him carrying letters from his cook to an ostler in the town.) Mr. Bennett, upon receipt of this letter, sent for Hart well and dismissed him from his situation. The plaintiff, the girl Anna Maria Brewer, and the girl's mother were called, and explained that all this awn from the girl having pushed the old man in the pumas with a broom, and whilst be was playfully straggliest to get it away from her, Mrs. Vessey passed them in the pair. That he kissed or in any way took any improper liberty with the girl was solemnly denied. It was Amin that the plaintiff had held his situation under four incumbents. Mr. Beane, for the defendants, submitted that Mn. Vessey had only drawn • fair inference from the very equi vocal position in which she found the plaintiff and the girl ; that she was actuated by no malice, but reported the plaintiff's conduct from • sense of duty • and being a member of the school committee, she would have felled in her duty as a guardian of the morals of children of a tender age should the pernicious example set by the plaintiff go unpunished. Mn. Veasey and Mr. Bennett were called, and Mr. Beane having slimmed up his evidence, Mr. O'Malley replied upon the whole case. _ _ — The Lard Chief Justice, in summing up, told the jury in finding a verdict for the defendant they must be satisfied that at the time Mrs. V 06117 made the communication she believed what she was saying was true, smistbat she was aaiing imply in discharge of her duty as a member of the sehool committee. At five o'clock the jury retired to consider their verdict. At nine they returned into court with a verdict for the phiintiff—damages, 501. WLSTERN _CIRCIIIT.-WINCITZ.9TER„ JULY 17. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Jortice Ke;liting.) Ayes Noes PAPER DUTIES REPEAL BILL 1 a 134 Lord FERMOY moved that the rejection by the House of Lords of the Bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duties was an encroachment on the rights and privileges of the House of Commons ; and that it was, therefore, incumbent upon this house to adopt a practical measure fee the vindication of its rights and privileges. The noble lord having apologised for introducing a subject of so mach importance at so bite an hoer (half-pest 11) promised to detain the house but a very short time. (Hear, hear.) Whatever might be thought of the subject within, there was a strums feeling el indignation oaths subject out of doom. (Derisive share.) He meld pobt in support of his statement to 11101/1.0011 meetings held in different parts of the country praying the house to take some steps to vindicate its privileges ; sad be challenged hon. gentlemen opposite who cheered to mention a single one at which it had been held that the Lords were right. Petitions in favour of the course indi cated in his motion had been presented with at least • hundred thousand signatures ; and there had been a meet ing of delegates, attended by deputies from Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Olaavw Warringtoa, Bristol, Norwich, Newcastle -on-Tyne, Oxford. and some 40 others of the principal towns u the kingdom. And what did these gentlemen my? In their fleet resolution they alarmed that the home would be degraded if it gave its assent to the base policy of inaction recommended by Lord Palmerston ; and that such a course would be an act of treason to the constitution. They further stated that no government which followed such a omen would be worthy of the sup port of the liberal party ; and they said that it was the duty of the ministers, if necessary,. .to dissolve parliament, ' mediated to the country. (Opmention cheers.) Next they returned their thanks to the Wight Hon. W. E. Gladstone --{decisive cheers)—for his noble defence of the constitu tion—(loud kughter)—and they relied with coolideme upon his promise to do everything in his power to secure the rights of the Home of Commons. (Rmewed laughter) Such was the opinion of these gentlemen, and as such it was entitled to respect. (Hear.) Then there had been the election for Brighton. (Load laughter.) If all these things were not a sufficientescume for his oondact in bringing forward the motion, he might appeal with com&lence to the lasiguans, in the house itself, of the Chancellor of the Exchequer sal the Foreign Secretary, and he felt warranted in saying that whatever might be the fate of his resolution, it would re ceive the sanction and @tippet of a large najority of the people out of doors. (Hear.) He (Lord Fermoy) might be unfortunately suspected of being disposed to propose strong measures on this question. But speaking for himself only, as his resolution bound nobody, it was this. They knew by experience, and in saying that he would add that the Lords were not always in the right—it had been usual when the two houses differed, if that home had adopted a line, and the Leeds had refused to do so, to give to the Lords • locos pesitentise, and to send the bill beck again. He thought one of the best features of the way in which the La* had rejected this bill was their belief that the feeling of the eoantry was with them. (Opposition cheers.) Now suppose the Home of Commons could show that alter full and free discussion of this question, both iu the house and out of it, the feeling of the country VMS against the Lords—not rejecting this particular tax, but dealing with the rights and privileges of that home—then be thought that sending beck the tax pure and simple was the best mode of dealing with tine question. (Hear, hear.) That was the course which was adopted with re g ard to the Reform Bill, the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, and the Jew Bill. That would be a consistent course, and one which he should be disposed to adopt. But he was told that the Lords would probably reject the bill again. Well, then would be the time to em bod y the repeal of the tax iii souse money bill which the Lords could not reject It was not, however, his business to point out to her Majesty's govern ment what they ought to do. If his (Lard Finns s) reso lution were carried, the proper persons to carry it oat would be her Majesty's government. (Hear, hear.) Upon their shoulders was the responsibility. Lord PALMERSTON said that the noble lord could hardly expect him to enter on the large question involved in his resolution at that late hour. He did not quarrel with his noble friend for attempting to record his opinion more fully than had been done by the resolutions passed by the house; but be would submit that, after the grave and seri ous discussion which then took place, it was Dot wise to stir the question wain at the present moment. The house might well be cosiest with the resolutions it had pissed. The noble lord said that if the house agreed to his resolution be woad throw epee the government the 'bility of cesna it into effect, and explaining his nn intestines, 'leers and lam ter .)

William Henry a soldier, aged 39, was WhitwMti, in dicted for the wilful murder of Mar tha, his wife, and Frederick, William, Robert, Mary Ann. Elisabeth, and Ellen Whitworth, his six children, at Sandown, in the parish of Breding, Isle of Wight. Mr. W. M. Cooke appeared for the prossention ; Mr. Cole for the defence. It will be remembered that Whitworth, who was • sertggeeaannt in the Royal Artillery, was the master gunner at 9aodosn Fork in which his quarters were situated, there residing ' with him his wife and six of his children, the seventh being absent. On the 18th of May Whitworth ran acrouthe parade Catiand threw hinuelf upon his knees before Captain on, and exclaimed, " For God's sake, sir, save me!" He handed to tain Robinson his watch, some papers and money, and ad " Re's used medreadfully ! Flers held • Odolat my bead, and swore he'd shoot me if I didn't cut my throat. He then opened the collar of his coat, exhi• bated his throat cut and covered with blood, atd said— " There's awful work down there ! Pray go down !" He was sent to the hospital. On entering the house bloody footprints—some the unfortunate children's, others those of Whitworth's stocks were observed to cover the floor, showing that tho children had escaped from their bedroom, and had been punned downstairs and driven up spin by the murderer. The Boor of the upper room was covered with blood, papers, clothing, and among other articles found were the razor and cutlass with which the murders had been perpetrated. There were two beds in the room. On the outerside of that nearest the door was the body of Mrs. Whitworth, dressed, with the exception of her boots, and her neck so horribly gashed that the vertebras of the neck WWI pl a inly visible. The wound' of the six children were all of the same dreadful character. Across the mother lay an infant, which had evidently been at the bract, and they had clearly been murdered before they awoke ; near them were a boy and • girl, whose bodies bad been thrown upon the bed after their murder. On the bed nearest the window were two girls, and at the head of it a little boy—all were quite dead. The pillows showed that they had been used to 'tide the cries of the unfortunate victims. . . . The prisoner, when placed at the har, stared vacantly about the court, muttered •mme incoherent sentences, and was apparently eating something. A jury was empanelled to try the question whether the prisoner could understand the pleadings to an indictment, and Dr. Lyford, the surgeon to the countygaol at Winchester, stated t ha t the prisoner's mental powers were almost en tirely extinct, arising from softening of the brain a dis use which had apparently been going on for some time. The prisoner, w o had placed his arm round the neck of the turnkey who had him in charge, smiled at and pointed be his lordship, and appeared to be much amused at the ap pearance of the court. After an explanatory address from his lordship, The jury found that the prisoner was unable to plead. His Lordabip aaid then he should direct the usual order to be made. The gaoler motioned to the prisoner to leave the bar, but be appeared quite unable to comprehend the meaning, and when at length ho was led away by the arm, he exclaimed, in a loud tone of voice, " Gracious God, look down upon you all, miserable sinners." ATERMPTED MURDER MID SUICIDE. Robert SIMMOOM, aged Zi, was indiesed for wounding Sophia Rowe, with intent to murder her, at Winchester. Mr. Gunner prosecuted. It appeared that Rowe, who had been a domestic servant, is the daughter of a brialunaker, named James Rowe, re. siding at Stowmarket, in Suffolk, and on the 24th of last December, being out of a situation, she went to the Pain ters' Arms, a public-house in Sussex-street, Winchester, to assist the landlady, who is in health, and there she re mained until the morning of Saturday, May It Previously to this she had Weenie acquainted with the prisoner. On the Thursday and Friday nights preceding the 12th they slept together, and on the Friday morning the man saints was tired of soldiering, he should cut his thrust, and re quested that Rowe wouldget him anizor. Masan' she would not burrow one, upon which, according to the girl's &would, be became so unhappy that she gave him eighteen-pence to purchase a razor. He bought one, returned to the Painters' Arms, and remained there fur the mot of the day, giving the razor to Rowe, who locked it up la her box. At night, when they went to bed, at the prisoner's request Rowe took the razor out of the box, and placed it under the bolster. In the morning, about 7 o'clock, Sinsraon took the razor from under the bolster, and Rowe desired kin. to cut her throat ; he replied that he had not power to do it, and Rowe declared that if be did not cut bars he should not cut his own. Simpson asked her to lay her arm down for him to put his head on, and she then laid her arra down, and he laid his bead upon it ; at that tirue he had the razor in his left band, and with it be first cut Rowe's throat and then his own. Mrs. Watlen, the landlady, heard some noise, and od running upstairs found them both lying on the bed with their throats cut and bleeding. Mr. Buckle, a surgeon, was called in, and on au examination of the wound discovered upon Rowe a very large incision in the neck, dividing N portion of the trachea, attended with much hemorrhage. The prisoner's nark was not so seriously lacerated. The jury convicted the prisoner of the attempt to murder. His Lordship characterised the conduct of the parties as a foolish and wicked act, an offence apnea morals, religion, and law, and ordering sentence of death to be recorded against the prisoner, told him that he would lave to suffer a long term of imprisonment MIDLAND ClRClJlT.—Laiceirraa, JULT 17. (Beam Mr. Justice Wightman.) Hamm% Haws, 18, domestic servant, was indicted far the wilful mailer of Samuel Wells. Preamer had been domestic aervant to the deceased Samuel Wells, and they had had daily disweements. She had been heard to say that she hated him (deoeaaed), sod that " she wished the old devil was dead." Prisoner was sent by her muter to the house of Henry John Wells, a son of demised, for some wheat and some weenie. A small bag of wheat was given her, and a packet of arsenic con taining 4 lb. Afterwards the packet was returned to the son's house, and it was found that the packet then contained but two-and-a-half ounces. On the following night Samuel Wells wished to have some gruel for supper, and prisoner made him some. On taking It he remarked that it was thick, and he could not "get through it." Shortly afterwards be was seized with vomiting, which coo. tinued all night, and he kept his bed next day. On the of that day his daughter-in-law ordered prisoner to wising en" some thin gruel, and which w taken up to deceased, but he c oul d not touch it. The da u ghter then ate some of it, and also gave some to her little boy. The prisoner tried to persuade them not to eat it, and proposed that it should be kept hot for the deceased for another time. They both fell ill with vomiting and burning puny in the mouth and throat, but ultimately recovered. /Samuel Wells continued ill, and died in a week after taking the gruel. Some hens and chickens had pecked the vomit and died. The medical evidence proved that deceased had died from the effects of arsenic. Letters were put in, written by prisoner ' expressing sorrow for what ahe had done, and stating that she did not mean to kill her master. For the defence Mr. O'Brien urged that the prisoner was young and did not know the consequences of ber act. There was not sufficient motive proven for the commission t,f murder, and he submitted that it could only bn considered a case of manslaughter.

There have been some few sales for India, Chins, the Mediterranean, Germany, and the home trade, but the have been on a small wale, and lower pewee have had ' to be taken in every ease. In 'cloths there has also been a slow market. If there has been any change in prices it has been slightly in favour of buyers, but hardly to a quotable extent. There has been a moderate businese in all sorts of cloth suitable to India and China on these terms, bat sellers disposed to bold for full prices have not been able to effect 'sales. The letters from India continue discouraging. In cloths for other markets, such as long cloths and T cloths, business has been rather flatter, and in long cloths especially which are somewhat affected by the disturbances in Syria. There is a meeting this after. noon of Messrs. Freelande creditors, not yet concluded. The liabilities, it is said, will be greater than was at first ' anticipated. WOOLLEN. —Lerma, JULY 17.—We have bad • quiet market this morning ; there was only a moderate attendance of buyers, and the transactions have been limited, but per haps not more so than is usual at this season of the year. EoB.N.—Hutt, JULY 17.—At this day's market a very small supply of English wheat, scarcely sufficient for the wants of our local millets, which sells freely at la to 2s. over last week's currency, fine fresh thrashed red making 60s. per qr. 5041 be. Foreign in request at the improvement noted during the week, but the sales are ohiefiy of a retail character. Barley, of malting quality, soiree, and late rates fully supported ; a brisk demand exists for Black Sea at 30s. to 30a. 6d. per 30 stone, and the market is almost bate of such for the moment, but one or two cargoes are daily expected. Beans scarce and rather dearer. PPM plentiful, but go off readily, 38s. per 5041 be. for dry feeding qualities'. Oats steady, with a good consumptive demand. The foreign imports last week are as under :—Wheut, 4,006 qrs.; barley, 378 ; oats, 2,239 ; beans, 1,023 ; peas, 1,834 ; tares, 707 ; linseed and rapeseed, 12,364 ; oil cakes, 47 tow. LIMA, JULY 17.—We have very limited rennin!s of wheat, but quite as liberal as they are likely to be this side of harvest. There is a decidedly improved tone in the trade to-day, and our millers are compelled from sheer necessity to give an advance of fully Is. per quarter over Friday's rates. Barley nominaL Beans quite as dear. Oats and other articles unaltered. NEWCASTLE, dubr 17.—The weather today is dull, and like rain ; last night we had a heavy fall. At our market this morning we bad scarcely any wheat offering by our growers, and being without any arrivals of moment since Saturday, factors commenced by asking an advance of F. per qr., which had the effect of restricting business, but where sales occurred that amendment was established. For new Norfolk and Suffolk yellow, 60e. to 61s. was ac quired, quality not extra, whereas the latter figure was paid for a cargo of new Holstein red, just arrived. Flour met more attention, and must be written rather dearer. Grinding barley still pointing upwards. Malt, unless fine, difficult to quit. Beans and peas much as before. Oats rather dearer.
