The Earl of SHAFTESBURY rose to request his noble Mend (the Duke of Marlborough), who had a motion on the pip, for the .tholition of the rule which excluded the bible fr ..11 government oolleges and schools in Podia, Dot to the subject forward for dismal= at present. He ...r that he quite °occurred is the object of his som e friend's resolution, bat from information which be he was led to believe that this was the Inuit m.-ipedient moment for debating the subject., and that the resolution, if carried, would tend to unsettle the politic wed in India., and be followed probably with most dims- Wm results. Therefore-end he spoke now not only hie own opiruou, but that of others who were as ardent in the mum of Christianity its India his noble friend himself.— be earnestly *weeded to hie noble friend in the interested the question itaW, in the interesta of the diffusion olebrie. toady in India, and in the interests of the proposition towhich he desired their lordship.' assent., to postpone his resolu tion.

From all be (tin Earl of Elleaborough) had from all be bad read of, end from all the coondwatia§ be bad been able to give to the state of India at this moment, be felt himself warranted in saying that it was most critical, sod OM% it would be most impolitic is every way, at rich a Mee to bring on a debate upon • subject which, perhaps, more than any other touched oar relations with the people • a that country. (Heir. hear.) Lord H.IKRIS, speaking as one who had some experience of l ads and the state of public feeling in that country, begged to unite in the request which had been made to the noble duke to postpone his resolution. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH referred to the vast au,..bar petitioes which had been promoted from all pi: ti of the three kingdoms as evidencing the strong feeling in the public mind in this country on the subject, and de elinal compliance with the request made to him by the three noble peers who had appealed to him to postpone the rosoi ution. N VILLE, availing himself of the point of order, that the order of the day had not been read, interrupted the noble duke, to add his urgent entreaties to those of hie noble friend, that the noble duke would not penut in • motion which, from the best information he could pin, he was enabled confidently to say could not be brought on at s morn inopportune moment. (Hear, he•r.) While on his leas he would take the opportunity of stating in reply to a au.mtion put to him by the noble lord opposite last week, thut there port of the commission on national defences being before parliament, his right hon. friend in the other house wo All state on an early day what nouns would be taken in inward to it The Earl of DERBY could scarcely expect that his ap pest to the noble duke (the Duke of Marlborough) would be more successful than that of his other noble friend& ; Mill he could not help expressing bin earnest desire in public —as he had already dose, but without effect, in pri• veto— that the noble duke would not bring forward his re solution at the present moment, believing as he did that to diacure the subject now would, so far from forwarding, in let.) the muse the noble duke had at heart. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM also joined in the appeal for post ponement ; and intimated that, if the noble duke 111 brzoging forward the resolution, he should, witt e Zt st eV ten kg into any debate, meet it by the previous question. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH felt deeply the painful peition in which he was placed, but nevertheless felt it to be his duty to proceed. Noble lords had mid that the diseuse4o of the subject would be prejudicial and dangerous, but, although the resolution had been on the notice paper ever store Easter, no intimatioa had been given to bun of the gr .nods oar which the government considered it would be embarrassing to them and dangerous in its consequences. • had presented altogether 1,500 petitions calling upon th.ar birdships to remove the authoritative exclusion of the word of God from the government colleges and schools in Lid a, and he felt he should be abandoning his duty to the pettioners and to the public feeling of the religious coin. munition of this coont7 if he abandoned his intention of taking their lordships opinion upon the subject. He ini,;ht be told that it would not be possible to alter the pe,ent system, as by so doing he would be acting in oppo sition to her Maleety's proclamation; but he contended that the adoption of such • plan as he advocated would not interfere in the slightest degree with the religious rites and worship of the natives. There was the most satisfactory . evolence that the labours of the missionaries were appee,isted by the natives, and if they could only he convinced of the sincerity of the British government to promote Christianity, multitudes would gladly seize the opportunity of making themselves ac quainted with the Scriptures. The introduction of the voluntary system would meet the object which he ads,. eatel, the attendanoe oa the bible dames being dependeot es the will of the pupils sod the permission of their parents. /Such a sy•iteni was not half so objectionable as that of gnats in aid, which were nothing more than grunts for the parpswe of proselytising, regarded with distrust by the natives, and full of peril to the government of lodic Lord BROIIUHAM mid, with the rodent reaped for his noble friend. and with a deep conviction of the import mine .4 the subject, but with a clear opinion that his motion va ine,perlient and might be dangerous. he should beg hive to !none the previous question.

HYDE L EFANS asked the right hon. berenet whether be wield lay on the table of the boons Wore he proceeded to the mart else of the European Forme (India) BEd, the Wanda of the Wig Council, and the protests of the mem bers of the eoundl, which were understood to have been seat ia recently. as well as the remaining papers connected with that oubject Sir C. WOOD said the hon. and gallant gentleman would Ind at the mid of the papers already produced • statement Seth* effect that the remaining portion would be furnished ea Thursday next. With regard to the first part of the question he would only may at that moment that be pro posed to state his views and intentions before the claw of the debate that evening. Major PARKER, having bean a sepoy ooer,M thought the demand for European troops in India had been very I much exaggerated, and that a smaller number than that proposed, quartered in healthy cantonments, would suffice. Colonel NORTH, after directing s iz j intry eation of the com mittee to the opinions of Lord said that whilst there °odd be no question se to the of the Indies umy, there were yet some points refined to in the discus sion which required farther explanation. Sir C. WOOD expressed • hope that the debate would be allowed to terminate that night. His bon. friend the mem ber for Poole (Mr. Denby Seymour)socused the government of haviegkept back certain papers which were calculated to throw light apes the discussion, and said that that was a mfficiest num why they should not proceed to a division. Whether the papers were printed es soon as they ought to have been was quite another matter, but he denied that there had been any desire cm the part of the government to withhold front the house any information calculated to sash* them in the debate. lie confessed that though the papers bad afforded material for dienusion, yet the arguments which kad been based upon them did eat redly touch the cue of the bill now before the house. On the eontrary they entirely confirmed the state ments ha had made to introducing the measure. He had never prannied to Pre a military opinion upon the matter, but be had quelled the opinions of Lord Clyde and SirllWra. lissistal, who were as much entitled to give a military opinion upon matters which bad occurred under their own eyes as any persona. The papers themselves proved pre mealy whse he bed elated, viz., that Lord Clyde took a very different view of the question in the autumn of last year to that white be took previously. He (Sir C. Wood) had Mated that in the first instance he was extremely unwil ling to depart from the decision of the late govern ment, and perhaps he might be open to the charge which the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets (Mr. Ayrton) brought against him of having altered his &didon without having given sufficient consideration to the question. But would any man my that the events of last ✓ummer and autumn, in reference to the local army of India, had not placed the question in a very different podtion to that in which it etood before! He had listened with peat attention to the discussion which bad taken plass_ ups the bill, but he had heard nothing which in- Wed him to believe that the government had not acted judiciously in bringing forward the measure. The decision el the is government was to retain two-fifths of the minimum European form in India, but they found that that would not 'edify thus who were the advocates of • local army. It bad bees asked why 800000 had been fixed as the number of Enrages= to retain in India. The reason was, that on inquiry it was ascertained that the maximum number which any of the authorities u the subject recommended to be retained was 95, and the minimum 75,000. 80,000 had therefore been taken as the number which the circum stances of the case would require. The mums, intro duced last year in no respect affected the reorganisation of the Indian army, nor did it pledge the government to increase or diminish the number al men to be regularly em ployed. The reason was that so many grave doubts were entertained upon the subject that he felt it his duty to pause until the whole question had undergone inquiry. An investigation having been commenced, a number of docu ments were received from India, and hie bon. friend the member for Aberdeen (Colonel Sykes) moved for their production. It was, bower, impossible to assent to his honourable friends otion, as the SMmoved for were wildenafil memoranda, bat be . Wood) wrote to Lord Clyde and Sir Wm. Mims field, by whom the documents were furnished, for their authority to publish them. As soon as he received the =wary authority the motion of his hon. friend was com plied with, and the papers were produced ; but even than it was deemed advisable, with the sanction of the writers, to omit certain passages which were calculated to give offence, and to expunge two paragraphs in which ex tracts were given from private letters written by Sir Patrick Grant, the assent of Sr Patrick not having been obtained to their publication. The papers came late in the autumn, and after being fully considered by the cabinet a decision was arrived at. An incidental question had been raised, on which much stress was laid, namely, that he had not consulted the council, and had thereby precluded them from the opportunity of record ing their protest, as they were entitled by the act of parlia ment to do. He believed that that opinion was founded on a misapprehension of the act of parliament. It was quite true he did not consult the council in this matter, and he did sot think he was bound to do so. The 23rd claw of the set of parliament was the one which had reference to this matter and that clause said " that in case of any difference of opinion on any gum tics to be decided at any meeting any member of the council who may have been present at the meeting may record his opieion, and any reams for the same may be recorded in like meaner "—that was to my, that there must be a meeting of the council, that the matter must be de cided at the meeting, in which case the members of the council might record their dissent if they were overruled by the Secretary of State, But this question of the reor ganisation of the Indian army was one to be decided by the cabinet. It was not a question for the council or for the Secretary of State for India, and be did not feel that he was bound to consult the council upon it. In that re spect ha adopted the view of the noble lord who presided him in office, for the late government came to a denies in this matter without consulting the council. The cabinet aims to their decision on the 16th of May that a bill should be introduced for the reorganisation of the Indian army, and on the 17th he stated the fact to the council ; arid he mid to them that as they might wish to record their opinions, he would, as Secretary of State for India, take • step which would give them an opportunity of doing so, and for that purpose he wrote the letter to the Horse Gouda, directing them to stop recruit ing for the Indies service. He believed it woeful be contrary to the connotation that may member of the Indian Council should record a minute or memorandum against the determiestioa of the cabinet, but feeling that they might Mob to road their opinion in another way, he gave them the opportunity ei doing so. They did not avail themselves of that opportunity. But on last Thursday and resolutions , and memoranda, were put into his 4" * hand. He laid these before his eollespes in the cabinet, and they agreed with him that they could not be received in their present shape, and that they must be regarded as non-ex is ten t. (Divide, divide.) He felt bound to pat this matter clearly and frankly before the how, as ft had bees urged strongly in the manse of the debate. He had been attacked for brief*, in a small messier& What did hon. gentlemen expect him to do? (Hear, hear.) Matters of detail might be regulated by the Indian gown , ment ; but it was right and newary to take the opinion of parliament on this question, and therefore he had =ten ' duced a bill. The only object was to the conearrenee of parliament in the measure proposed by government ; and but for the question of expense this would not have been necomuy. He would not now enter into &tells. The , main features of the scheme were that there should be no local European army, but that all should form part of one imperial army, and that the officers should be appointed indifferently, so as to create a per , feet equality of feeling amongst them. The staff ' would consist of picked officers, and the ranks from which they were taken would be properly filled up. He bad stated the probable increase of expense very simply. Taking Mr. Hammack's calculation, he found that the additional , expense would be under 204,000/., said that mg ht be consi derably reduced. (Hear, hear.) He had been sUed whether the officers of the irregular corps would be appointed by the Indian government Meet undoubtedly. With regard to the supply of of he entertained so doubt there would be an adequate supply from the line without any =owe ' nienoe. With regard to the merits of thaw question, he would merely say that he had heard no arguments which had at all shaken the opinion be originally farmed as the sub ject. He trusted they would not have any delay beyond that which =a absolutely necessary for the settlement of the question. (Hear, hear.) Mr. A. MILLS said that with regard to the observations made by the right hon. gentlemen with respect to the Council of India, Ise was glad to tied the right bon. member had promised to place the papers on the table of the house. He would offer no opposition to the progress of the measure by supporting the motion for the adjournment. Mr. HORSMAN hoped the motion far the adjournment would he withdrawn miter what the right bon. gentleman had undertaken with regard to the Otencilef India. (Loud cries of "Withdraw.") The SPEAKER midi that in the absence of the hon. and gallant member for Westminster (dir De Lacy Evans), who moved theadjournment, it could not be withdrawn. The motion for the adjournment was therefore put from the chnr, and negatived without a division.

The object of the suit was to recover a sum of 2,800/. and interest, being the balance of a sum of 17,000 e., advanced in 1845 b 7 the cheques of certain members id the Finance Committee of the Warwick and Worcester Railway Cola: pony, out of the monies of that' company, to the Lon don and Birmingham Extension, and Nuthampton, Da ventry, Leamington, and Warwick Railway Company. The fund was borrowed by the latter company for the par ries amongst other things of enabling them to pays deposit of 10,0001. upon the purchase by them of the Warwick and Napeon Canal Company; and a part thereof, amount lag to that sum, was aooordingly paid to the latter corn = for that purpose, as soon as the loan was effected. the canal was after much litigation subse quently Of set %Me, and the 10,000/. repaid to the London and Birmingham Exteneion, du. Company ; and the evidence showed the of this fund more than the amount of the plaintiff's claim in this snit had been expended by the last mentioned company for the purposes of their undertaking. The bill was filed by the official manager of the Warwick and Worcester Railway Com y against the official mugger of the London and Ti an Extension, &a, .Railway Company (both companies in the course of wind* up under the Winding-up Acts), consequence of the dsfa having been admitted as a claim against the latter company, with liberty to the plaintiff in this 'nit to take seek proceedings as he might be advised.

It shows that the ay.ets are about 9 1-5 per cent. of the rum &NUM, • very email pro portion for a company thirteen years old, baying • large paid-up capital." On the part of the plaintiffs it was stated that Mr. Carpenter could have obtained inspection of full accounts of the company by going to the registrer ap pointed ander the Joint .&o.a Companies Act if he bad chosen to have looked at them • and it was further stated that he himself was a paid lectur er of the Consols Life As surance Fund Society, and it was suggested that his object in writing the pamphlet was to promote the objects of that society. A good deal of evidence was given for the plaintiffs, mainly to show that their affairs were in • highly satisfac tory state, and that there was no truth in the statement that there was anything " delusive " in their belance-sheets. At the conclusion of the plaintiffs' rase an amicable ar rangement was suggested, and the counsel on both sides had a private interview with his lordship. Mr. Macaulay subsequently laid that Mr. Carpenter bad no motive in loafing this pamphlet, except to perform a public service in the way in which his science and learning enabled him to do. The iotioduction of the British Em pire Compaq under the head* which had been referred to wee very much to be because it was not the intention of Mr. Carpenter to impute to this company the issue of delusive balance-sheet.. This investigation had en- tartly satisfied Mr• Carpenter affirmatively of that of which he had no doubt before, that the plaintiffs' affairs were conducted with perfect probity and homer, that their society was based upon sound principles, and that the policy holders were perfectly well secured. There was no meson why he should have Introduced the plaintiffs' society into the pamphlet, and he would take good care to remove the name from it. - - - - Mr. Lush that the attack In the pamphlet and the plea put on the record, that the statements were true, had compelled his clients to come into court and vindicate their character. Having done this, they were content to with draw, upon the understanding that no more copies of the pamphlet with their name in it should be issued. The Lord Chief Justice said this was a most satisfactory termination of the ease. It eear to him that the plaintiffs' company had vindicated their right to be consi dered a company of probity and integrity, carrying on their business in a mode which entitled them to confidence. Mr. Carpenter [cave his fullest assent to all this, and therefore the case might now well stop. A juror was accordingly withdrawn. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Jraor 2. (Before the Chief Conunienceer.)

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The July Quarter Sessions commenced yesterday morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Bodkin, assistant. judge, Mr. Payne, deputy, and a beach of magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 44 priaonen for trial, and the learned Assistant-Judge, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them upon the circumstance that the number was so small for the metropolitan county at this period of the year. Sidney Marke, 26, was indicted for stealing two uniform coats, of the value of W., the property of William Coutts Koppel, Viscount Bury, his master. Mr. Cooper was counsel for the prosecutinn ; the prisoner was not defended. _ _ _ _ The 'prisoner, it appeared, entered Lord Bury'. service about four years ego, and left on the Ist of January in the present year. Lord Bury had entire confidence in him, and gave him the entire charge of his things. In June last year Lord Boxy was appointed to so office in the Queen's household, and Lord Albemarle sent him some uniforms in order that he might see if the lace would be of any use to him, and be pre them over to his tailor. In August his lordship went to Scotland, and he left in his hours, uniforms of various descriptions, which he had used when on the staff and in the Guards ; they were kept in a box with an inventory. In January last, after the prisoner left his ser vice, his lordship received her Majesty's commands to go to Windsor, and he desired hie tailor to return the uniforms. In consequence of a statement made by the tailor (to the effect that the uniforms had been returned) Lord Bury mimed the costa, as well as other things . , from the soldi b 0 and m, als i s tho t ug he h inventory.. ed Th i ; owner had re al right, he said they were upstairs with his lo:d y ship's other articles of attire. When told that they were not, be said his lordship had given them to him, 'and he had sold them. John Moss, a Jew dealer in old clothes, statod that he knew the prisoner, and one morning he was standing out- Rile a coffee-house at Kuightsbndge when he saw him pm. He asked him if he had anything in his way ; the prisoner aid he bad some uniforms. After some conversation the prisoner said he would bring them to him, and in about half an hoar be brought a uniform coat trimmed with silver gilt lace, and a pair of blue trousers trimmed with lace at the aide, some trimmed horse furniture, a cocked hat, cuffs of another coat trimmed with lace of an acorn pattern. The price agreed upon was U., which he paid to the prisoner, sad stood a bottle of wine. That was the only transaction Ise ever had with him ; he never went to Lord Bury's resi dence. From the description given of the articles by this witness Lord Bury was enabled to say they were his, and he distinctly stated that the prisoner had not the slightest shadow of authority to dispose of them. The substance of the prisoner's defence was that Lord Bury had given him the things amongst other left-of clothing, in consideration of his faithful services to him both here and in America—whither he accompanied him—for four years, and that his lordship had even been so good, kind, and gentlemanly to him, that he could never have enter tained the base idea of stealing anything from him. At the same time he had to say that this charge had been ma , licionsly made against him by Lord Bury, in conse quence of a dispute upon pecuniary matters which had arisen between his lordship and a Mr. Nelson, who was concerned in the Galway packet station business, and he urged that his hitherto impeachable character gave the lie direct to the imputation sought now to be east upon it. Lord Bury said this was utterly false. When he found that his servant, in whom be reposed entire confidence, had been robbing him, he deemed it his duty to give him into custody ; beyond that, he had no feeling in the matter. As to giving the prisoner old clothes, he could not recollect having ever done anything of the kind, bet he would not swear be had not; but this he could swear most positively, that he never gave him these uniforms. The prisoner said when he left his lordship's service be promised to get him a goad situation ; so that showed what thought of his character. Lord Bury said he believed he did, but he was not aware at the time what he had been doing. The prisoner addressed the jury, reiterating that Lord Bury had riven him the articles, and called • person to speak to his character. It appeared that he came from Rick maneworth, and was the son of respectable parents there. The Assistant-Judge summed up, and The jury found the prisoner Guilty, strongly recommend ing him to mercy. Lord Bury said be very cordially concurred in the recom mendation of the jury. The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for one year. ANNEICATIONOF SAVOY. Sr R. PEEL baled to ask the noble lord the Secretary el State for Foreign Affairs whether, with a view to a solu tion of the question that had arisen between Switzerland abd France with regard to the annexation of the neutralised provinces of Savoy to Frame, her Majesty's government, in reply to the despatch of M. Thouvenel, had accepted the that of three proposals contained in that despatch, namely, the asseaddirig of a coupes' at Paris for the settlement ef yeastion. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was true that her Majesty's government had accepted a proposal for a conference on the subject of Savoy, and Rums also had acceded to that R. flir R. PEEL asked when the conference would meet. Lord J. RUMELL replied that no detenuinatiou had been come to on the subject. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA) BILL-ADJOURNED DEBATE. The adjourned debate on the amendment upon the second reading of this bill was resumed by Mr. RICH said that in India, if this bill passed, and the European troops there were all of one sort, we might one day have regiments discontented, and with their attach ment to 31 WPM out by their being kept sixteen or twenty years out there, and those troops might obtain the mastery. It would be wiser, therefore, to maintain the two different corps, the Queen's troop and the local army, so as to have two lep to stand upon instead of one. And it was not just to abb the hid= army by way of a punishment for the mutiny which happened eighteen months ago. That offence had been condoned two or three times over, those very men being invitod to enlist in the Queen's army as soon as they arrived home. For these reasons he opposed the change, believing it would have • very bad effect. Mr. TORRENS said the present was not the time to 'carry this great change, and it would have been much better or tho government to have confined itself to the =lice of measures , and have re allowed the the country un e ry qu es tion from of military i or m puisation to stand over till a more favourable time hod arrived for cionsideeing and settling it. Sir DR L. EVANS complained of the manner in which this important patios had been brought before the boon, without the aseemary information. From the por tion of the papers recently produced, the question, he said, wore in many respects quite another aspect, especially with reference to the opinions of Lord Clyde and Sir William Mansfield, and the insubordination of the local troops, who, he thought, had experienced 1 bard measure. They had been imbued with the con -1 victim that justice was on their side. The alleged founda tion for this legislative measure was the bad conduct of these troops ; but the papers hitherto furnished did not bear out the plea. The house had been led to believe that the whole of the local force had diaappeared, and that, if con tinued, it must be recreated ; but the remaining local troops numbered 17,000, and, in his opinion, so large • European irony as 80,000 men was not required in India-50,000 or 60,000 would be sufficient. A most important point was the constitutional question—the Horse Onards question. He had so doubt that the p rospect of • large amount of the military patronage had something to do with the change that had come over the government In conclusi he observed that, if the measure itself were ammo, the meaner in which it had been little docid would justify the hones in rejecting it. He moved that the debate be adjourned. Mr. H, MILNES seconded this motion. Coked DlTNNirmid the remeas given (with introduction ci the bill were to loesiea to the purpose, and so unfair to men who had minthdd themselves in an heroic manner, that he fully eyed with those who wished the measure to be 'withdrawn. Mr. AYRTON thought the right hon. gentlemen the Secretary far ladle bed hardly hose treated with hided ma the present wadies. When his right hon. friend bet year introduced a hall for the pompom of extending_ the number of European forme for service in India, he did sot dessoit himself to any definite view on the qu sad psi be the present instance he was charged with ea sub the subject to the notice of the house without brig consulted the members of the Lath awe& right hon. baronet (Sir C.

After this It could not be ',deeded that the dis cipline of that army was perfection. The troops of the lndian army had Leen masted to serve the Queen, and also the Fist India Company ; but by some negligence of the officers, the soldiers had not been furnished with a copy of the oath they had taken. Au Hog. Meuse here moved that the house should be counted. For the preceding half-hour the number present had fluctuated from 18 to 24 ; but as soon as the motion was made, a rush of members from the diniog•room took piss, so that the number was soon raised above 40. Mr. AYRTON proceeded. He denied that the men were right in demanding their discharge, all the conditions of the service being the, same, it made no difference whether the East India Company remained as trustees of the crown, or the crown took the government into its own hands. (In five minutes the number present had again fallen to 19.) The hon. gentleman considered that the papery just laid before the house contained most painful evidence of the insubordi natiou of the European troops. He looked upon the present measure as one which would effect a great improve ment in the administration of the Indian army,. red when it was objected to on the ground of expense, 'he enii then that expense was only oommerniste with the henikta it would confer on the British soldier. All obleellme to might be met by reasonable 'inurement; and he Iguellisid that no farther obstacle would be interposed to Ile Wig paved into law. (Hear.)

Mr. GREGEION believed that Sir John Lawrence and the other Indian officers had given honest opinions on this subject, but they were necessarily prejudioed. It was true the oaten of the royal army were also prejudioed, but he thought the Indian officers were most so. On the whole, he hail come to the conclusion that it would be best to unite this happy family, and, it possible, to overcome all the jealousies which no doubt existed between the royal army and the Indian army.

Mr. Edwin Confer ay desniibiu;iiimself as a captain in the merchant service, and residing at No. 2, Gleamotir- terrace, Blackheath, was charged with indecently assault ing Mrs. Jane Howison, a married lady, while travelling in • carriage on the North Kent Railway. Mr. Lewis appeared for the accuse d. The complainant, on being sworn, said—l am the wife of Mr. James Howison, chief officer of the screw steamer Agenoria, trading between London and Riga. I was a pas singer by the nine o'clock train, on Saturday evening, on the North Bent Railway, from London to Rochester. I was seated second from the door on the left-band aide, my hus band sitting on my right sod a female friend on my left. I was sitting with my back towards the engine, and the defendant was sitting opposite me. It was a third-class and the ccamartment in which we were seated full As soon as I took my seat the defendant rubbed;:i i s As knees against my . dress, and I drew my feet under the =in order to give him more room. After the train the defendant again placed his knees against mine and then rubbed his feet against my legs. I got up and said, "I will thank you not to do that, sir." When I made this observation be only looked at me. This was just before entering the tunnel near the Lewisham station. As soon as the train entered the tunnel the defendant bent forward, his face being nearly level with mine, and placed his hands under my dress. I got up on the train leaving the tunnel 1 —(the tunnel in question is only a few yards in length)—aad said, " What are you doing, sir " when he folded his arms and replied, " I have been doing nothing ; I have been sit ting like this." When the train arrived at the Lewisham station my husband gave the defendant into custody By Mr. Traill—lt was not quite dark at the time the train entered the tunnel. There was no light in the car riage. My husband rid to defendant, " You have been insulting my wife, and I will give you in charge." The de fendant denied bevies done it, and tried to hold my hus band back by taking hold of his coat. At the station de fendant said something about holding a respectable position, and after some little time he said it must have been a man sitting on his right hand who had acted in the manner de scribed, as he had hail ;peat difficulty in keeping the man's hands off himself. There was a man sitting on each side of defendant, but I am positive it was neither of them who insulted me. Ann Clegg, a young woman residing at 44, King-street, Rochester, who was in company with the complainant, con firmed he r statement. - In answer to questions put by Mr. Lewis, the witness said defendant Brat gathered complaivant's dress bet wean Lis knees, and that they were pulled away by complainant with farm - Yr. James Howison said—l was a passenger in the train with my wife and the last witness. Just previous to the train arriving at the bridges, and before getting to the Lewisham tunnel, I observed defendant peering into my wife's face, in consequence of which I watched him. When the train entered the tunnel I saw defendant stoop, and afterwards saw him let my wife's dress fall. I heanl my wife ask him what he was doing, and defendant replied nothing. By Mr. Train—There was not sufficient light while in the tunnel to see defendant, but as we entered the tunnel I saw him stoop. I am sure I was not mistaken in seeing him stoop. When at the station defendant said it must have been a person sitting by his side. The was after the train had left, and be then took me aside, and said the per son of whom t he had spoken had also ac ted: indecently to wards him. Defendant then said be had moved to throw something out of the carriage window, and then said that he bad not moved at all. After mane further evidence, Yr. Trail said the case ass one of great public impor. tenon, and after the defence set up by the accused he must send the case to a jury. The depositions were then taken, and the defendant was committed for trial, bail being taken for his appearance at the sessions in two sureties of 80/, each and himself in double that amount. Tug Musana ilr Oxsosto-srumr.—An inquiry was held on Saturday afternoon by Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, in the boardroom of St. James's Work house, Poland-street, into the death of Caroline Dbereng, astral 36 years, the wife of John Dbereng , who committed suicide in Hyde.park under the circumstances reported in oar columns. The court was crowded. The body of the murdered and mutilated woman lay in the dead house, and presented a shocking spectacle. Jane Macdonald identified the body of the deceased woman as that of her sister. Catherine was her correct name, although she was called Caroline. She was 36 years of age. Her husband's name was Antoine. They had been married about six years, and from the first he had ill-treated her, although she was as geld a wife as ever lived. Her husband frequently left her without any means of obtaining subeistence. The wargeou who was called in on the discovery of the body said there were four wounds on the shoulders and hip joints of tits deceased. There were two cuts over the ankles. The head was found ,in the cupboard, and on it there were several cuts. There was an extensive fracture of the skull, which was done during life. The cause of death was no doubt the injuries to the head, as they were imply suMaisitt. The cutting of the bead and the injuries to the arms were done after death. The large shears produced was such as in -1 snument as would bare produced a fracture of the skull. 1 There wen marks of blood upon them.

A DARING FEAT.—Three young cockneys, entire amateurs in nautical matters, determined to set out from Vauxhall to Margate, on Monday morning last, in a small open sailing boat. Undaunted by the torrents of rain which fell for several hours after starting, they proceeded on their way, and reached Sheerness at 7 in the evening. Setting out at 6 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, they reached Margate at the manse hour in the evening, to the surprise of the many persons who witnessed the arrival of their frail bark, after a voyage of more than 70 miles, occupying about four-and-twenty hours.—Maidstone Journal. THE WEATHER AND THE CEOP9.—The past week as respects weather was little more than a dull repetition of many that preceded it ; rain still being in the ascendant, and not without its sad influence. The temperature has certainly been increased, and the grass has grown in con sequence, while a few hay-farmers have been bold enough to commence cutting, but with what benefit remains to be seen. Subscriptions have been made for the labourers out of employ, whose condition is truly deplomble ; but alltez , have realised hitherto has been a scanty allowance of bi It is, perhaps, well for the corn that it is late, or it would have been excessively rank. Some little progress appears in the wheat, but the young barley seems overpowered with wet being yellow and almost past hope as respects a crop. Although several pieces of wheat on well-drained light soils still look fair, no one yet remembers a good crop of corn in add after a wet season, more especially following upon j. : trying and protracted winter. But let us hope that a change is at hand, and that our worst apprehensions will not be realised. Since' writing the above, with the weather altered., much grass has been cut with fairer prospects. The absence of speculation during the week is, nevertheless, exhibited in the dulness of the markets. English wheat has been still declining ; but, with some Laces fi rm, perhaps the average reduction has not exceeded . per quarter. This has been produced chiefly by the bctter supplies of foreign of good quality. In the Baltic. though the season has bees backward, the weather has not been so bad ; and only rye has decidedly suffered. In France there is some improvement ; and, consequently, lower rates. Belgium and Holland have been tending also towards decline. Southern Europe, including Turkey, pro mises well. And hitherto the want in America has been 'the reverse of that throughout Europe, the hilly parts of the country being too dry ; though nothing seriously detri mental is noted in any r l ab orli. For many seasons England has been best o ff as ts Prod uce ; but this year she will pro bably require • e imports.—Mark Lane Express.
