It is thee my intention, alter the ordinary interval which usually elem.:es between the second reading and the committal of • NI, to appoint a day for the whole house to go into committee upon the meumna. (Hear, hear.) The boo. genthes e s farther mks me, what is the course which the (mamma propose to pursue with regard to • notice the hon. member for Salford, the Chairman 01 of Ways and limas It sprees to me that rat modese—though it le mil so direct or so straightforward es a meilien he pasliallas the second reading for six metals would hem been—is, in feet, • motion intended to destroy the bill. (Hear.) It will Mmefore be treated by the government as if it were • motion for postponing the second reading till that day six months, and therefore for destroying it altogether. (Cheers) It is obvious that we must oppose the on. gentleman's motion, and for the reasons which I have stated. But besides that, such a course would be most unusual. I don't believe that there ever was an instance when the very principal measure of the anion was referred to • select committee, it being obvious that if a select committee were entrusted with the alteration, and thereby with the framing of the bill, that select committee would be taking upon itself the most im portant functions of the executive government. I can con ceive of there being gentlemen who even after the second reading of the bill might think it advisable to move that the committal of the bill he postponed for ex months ; but I eaanot conceive that any great portion of the house would think of referring a bill of this unportance--agreat MINIUM which affects the constitution of the country and the right of voting of so many persons in the country—to a select committee of fifteen gentlemen to diorama. The coarse which we shall take will be to proceed with the bill, and to propose that it be referred t o a comm itt ee o f t h e w h o l e In that committee of the whole house the altera tion of the franchise and the disfranchisement or partial didranchimment of constituencies can be considered.

MANNERS rid be had no intention of opp the introduction d the bill ; bat it must not be su that the acquiescence of b on , gen tl emen on t h a t aids trio house implied any assent to it. principle. Leave was then given to introduce the bill. ROYAL PROCLAMATION (PIETY, VIRTUE, Ire.). Mr. L. KING moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to cause the royal proclamation for the encouragement of piety and virtue, sod for the preventing and punishing of vice, profaneness, and immorality, issued at the commence ment of her Majesty'. reign, to be revised, or to authorise the discontinuance of reading the same at maims and quar ter 'onions, and in climate* and chapels. He said that this proclamation was read at the opening of every amines and quarter sessions, and was also ordered to be read is all parish churches four times in the ye a r. It was extremely ill worded, and during the time when it Was being read per sons of all aorta, witnesses and juonien, were kept wait's', to their extreme incoevenience. Lout although magistrates and poles obeyed the order, there was a clam of peons who ilia not oho it he meant the clergy It bad never been his coed fortune o r his had fortune to lie in a church when the, proclamation was rod. The cler,ev, be thought, were extremely wise in not doing this; they hail other mesas of inciting their congregations to piety and virtue. He thought that this instrunieut should tither be revised or discontinued altogether. ' Mr. HADFIELD seconded the motion. Mr S. ESTCOURT said he protested against the alterna tive proposed by the hone gentleman, that this proclaim tio 'bomb( be either revised dieceetinued. To its mi meo he was very fnendly ; to its dioontinusince he was en tirely opposed. No onion could have pearl this proclama tion read at arises and quarter sessions without per- ceivieg that it was often read by officers who were not well educat--I for the purpose, and that it contaiutol great COM *nuts of seateocce, the actual purport of which it was ditteffilt to comprehend. He thought that the substitution of a fo w plain sentences expo...eve of the deterninuttioss of the sovereign to , support morality and religion, and a few solemn observation, as to the duties of thoe who attended courts of justice, would be a great improvement. 4;. (t. LEWIS said be should feel somewhat em harramesi as to the vote which he should give on the coca- i eon of a motion for an address on this object, not having had the advantage 44 hearing a more general expression al opi ~,,, 0.. which hoe. members entertained upon it.

It was proposed that this &ce ment shoould be either revised or diseontinueol. His right boa. friend opposite said he was not prepared to assent to its ilioicoutinuance, hut he wished to see it revised. With man! to these ancient formulae, which derived their im portant.- other from their antiquity than from any other quality they poseesed, it was rialto. difficult to revise them and pia e them in a form suited to meter° times. He saw some difficulty ins the way of the revision of this proclama tion'. If it were loked at with a critical eye he thought there would not be hound much in it which he slionaid wish to re tain. He was lorry, therefore, to say that his counsel was, if it Was not to he retained in its present form, the better course would he to discontinue it altogether. If the gene ral opinion of the linear were in favour of that cone, he shoal he ready to acquiesce in any such expreasion of feel ing ; but lie could not csonaioler the totter of such pave impotence AN that the house should be imperatively oiled upon to interfere. (Heir, hear.) Mr. L. KIM: rid that in order to meet the views of the Iht his. gentlemen opposite, he would loopssa to omit the words from his motion after the won: " revise." The original motion was then, b, love, withdrawn, and the *mewled mono put from the chair. Mr. HENLEY out he thought the prschunation cos island sonic wlndesome truths in very quvat language. He was afraid that if it were discontinued their humbler fellow earantryrnen might think some change of principle bad taken platy. It was acknowledged that they could not amend the proclamation ; he therefore thought they had bett e r l eave it alone. Air H.

Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Crompton, and Mr. Justice Blackburn.) Mr. Justice Hill sat until 2 o'clock,. when he went to chambers. nnor r. NORMANDY. This was an action tried before Mr. Justice Blackburn, at Liverpool, wherein the plaintiff recovered damages, 151. Dr. Wheeler now moved far a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, and also on the pound of surprise. The declaration contained two counts. The first was for assault and false imprisonment ; the second was for mali cious prosecution, and the defendant pleaded besides the general issue to both events a piss of justification, namely that a felony had been committed of certain jewels, and that there war good reason to believe the plaintiff had taken them. The circumstances of the case were the follnwing :—The plaintiff was a female servant in the employment of the de fendant, who is a young lady living alone at a place about five miles' distance from Manchester. No one else resided in the honse but the plaintiff end the defendant, although the lady was occasionally visited by • gentleman whom she declared to be her brother. The plaintiff entered the de fendant's service upon the 16th of December, and continued there until Sunday, the Bth of January. On the previous day, namely, the 84urday, the plaintiff and defendant bad been to Manchester, the defendant stating she was anxious to consult the registry of servants, with a view of providing herself with another servant, not being satisfied with the plaintiff. The plaintiff appears to have returned home between ten and eleven o'clock at night, about an hour before her mistress. Shortly after the lady's return she seems to have had a dispute with her servant, and in con sequence of certain expressions which proved highly un satisfactory to the plaintiff, she made use of very strong I language in return, and amongst other things she told her I mistress that the gentleman who was in the habit of calling was not her brother at all, but a young Great gentleman. This so exasperated the lady that she determined they should part at once. However, before going to bed, she placed her dress on the stairs, in order that it might be brushed by the plaintiff. In the pocket of the dress wee the key a( • drawer which contained a casket of jewels be longing to the defendant. Next morning, before the defendant got up, the plaintiff left the house, and the defendant found her jewels were gone likewise. As the front door was lucked and the key in the mistresa's room, there was only one way by which the plaintiff could have got away, sod that was through the back door, and thence over the garden wall. In the course of the morning a little boy called at the use and maid he had seen a woman something like the plaintiff getting over the garden wall with a bundle in her hand. Under these circumstances the defendant gave the plaintiff in charge, on tho ground that she had stolen the casket. The rule was refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-APRIL 20. Sittings in Banco —(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie, and Justices Wilke, Byles, and Keating•) LANE r. MARRON.— • /1441:7•311.1 IN • PUBLIC-BOUM The plaintiff kept the Neff Owynne,atCheleea, and luring taken that house of the defendant. On the night of the lrith January last the defendant went into the parlour of the plaintiff's house, and after shaming a pence named Smith, so as to provoke the plainti ff 's interference, turned round upon the plaintiff and accused him of having given false evidence in a witness.box, awl alleged that the motive fur his doing so was bribery. After remonstrance the defendant peraiatad in what he said, and added, " I can prove it, so help me God." A lawyer's letter was emit demanding a written apology, but no answer being given the present action was brought —not for damages, but to vindicate the pkintirs character • and the only plea was not guilty. Mr. Lawrence amil Mr. (kirk appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins for the defendant. . . The Plain 4 was;aTedtOP7ove his cue, and Mr. Smith was also swum, and from his evidence it appeared that on a wevions night he had sung at the Nell Gwynne a song called " Toby Brad, or Junking the Cobbler." (Loud laughter.) At this time he did not know that the defendant had ever had anything to do with leather, though it after. wards appeared that he had been a cobbler or something of that sort. Mr. Hawkins asked the witness to let them hear the first few lines of the song. Witness-You do not mean me to sing it, I suppose! (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Oh, no, repeat it. Witness— " There once was a cobbler, by name Toby Brad, Thu' he lived in his stall, he did not live toil. With his ful de reL"—(Loud laughter.) ^ • • Mr. Hawkins—Well, go on. Witness— " Now the leather was tough, and the awl would not pierce, Which made Toby Brad look most devilish !Wax." (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—" With his fol de col." (Laughter.) Witness did not think that there was any allusion in the song to a cobbler beating hie wife, nor that this had made the defendant angry. Witness, in fact, did not reeollect the song, and when he sung it he bad his memory refreshed by a manuscript. Mr. Hawkins addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, @eying that there was no imputation at old which could be made upon the plaintiff ; and, in fact, the words hail been idly spoken in a moment of irritation, without my serious meaning being attached to them. Mr. Justice Williams toll the jury that it was their bu siness to say what the amount of damages was. Verdict fur the plaintiff fur U. The bankrupt was not merely a loser of the profit be would have made bad he been allowed to complete his contract, bet was actually 25,233/. out of pocket by the transaction. Being also under contact with the Ottoman Railway Company sad other persona for the construction of extensive works, the abstraction from his available capital of such • large sum was seriously felt by the bankrupt, and rendered it neoessary for him to seek the protection of this court for the purpose of obtaining a fair aivision of his poperty amongst his creditors. The fact waa that the Rip and Dunaberg Hallway Company, finding their contractor had made • good bargain, determined to get it out of his hands, and make more favourable terms with mine can else, or carry it on themselves, and they had roir °soda iedcing so. He trusted the court would grant • fret, class certificate. A chancery suit was pending for the en &moment of specific performance of their contract by the Rip and Romberg Railway. His Honour, having ascertained that the assignees armed in the application, granted a first-class certificate, dad mg that the disputed claim against the Rip and Dunaberg Company having become the subject of • chancery suit, no blame should be thrown upon that company.

The plaintiff, having on the termination of him app reuticei.hip given up his trade for pedeattiatugni, had in IKf cuteleil into a match against time with &Mr. Bobby, at Preston, to walk 2,000 miles in 2,000 half-hours.

PHI APISAL CAMP OP CAUNT AND LANORAK. The court sat to-day, specially, at the Guildhall, Wee!. minster, to bear the appeals of Benjamin Cunt, of the Coach and Horan, St. Martin's-Line, and Nathaniel Long horn, of the Cambrian Stone, Castle-street, Leioaeter quare, against the refusal of the licensing justices to re new their licenses. There were present The Assistant- Judge, presiding ; Mr. Pownall, chairman of the bench; Mr flutrien3, M. 'Misr.. Mr. An•rolom, Ka. Woolsoey, Mr. Parbury, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. IL H. Hanwood, Sir James pier, Mr. Rankine, Sir R. W. Carden, Mr. Baylis, Mr. eisill, Mr. Griffiths, Mr. Heiprth, Mr. Husky, Mr. Ger , ford, Mr. A.

Mr. Keane and Mr. Tindal Atkinson appeared for the respondent justices ,• Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Poland were for the appellant ; Mr. Sleigh a nd Mr. Le Breton appeared for the vestry. The Asaistant-Judge ruled that the vestry had no locus Audi in court, the only respondents being the justices. Mr. Keane opened the case, and said the appellant was a tolerably well known prise-fighter, and the magistrates below had refused to renew his license as a publican, not on any personal ground with respect to Langluun himself, but for very different reasons, which he (Mr. Keane) would submit fully justified the decision they had srrived at longhorn having been in the prize ring, his house had been made a great centre of attrac tion • vast numbers of persons who took an interest in matters relating to the ring, comprising persona of the wont repute and disorderly characters of every description, assembled about the house, not only on days when fights came off, hut on the day before—the weighing day— and also on the day after the fight, which it was presumed wu the settling day, causing great disturbance in the street, destroying the peace of the neighbourhood, and seri ously diminishing the trade and the value of property thereabout ; in fact, the place had been • nuisance. In March, 1858, Langham received a warning from the chair man of the licensing magistrates, in consequence of reports made about the way in which the house had been con ducted ; that caution had proved ineffectual, and the Lune proceedings went on as before, and theinhabitants fre quently complained to the local authorities, and also to the police. Matches for fights were made at Langham's ; and though no actual fighting took place there, it woe a place of rendezvous for the lowest characters, to whom such matters lad interest ; and as the magistrates only licensed houses to be conducted with good order and propriety, and not for the furtherance of uulawful purposes, which prize.fights undoubtedly were, or to create • nuisance in the neighbourhood in which they were situate, they hail refused this license, and he thought the court would affirm their decision. There were noise*, singing, shouting. dancing at all hours of the night ; the language to.ed in the street by persons leaving lAirigham's, or congre gating thereabout, was of the vilest description; sham rights were got up outside, evidently to attract persons to thespot iu order that they might be robbed ; and altogether it was a house of that disorderly character which it was not the intention of the law should have the sanction of a license. A number of witnesses were then called, chiefly ;;;sons living or retrying on business near Langhanes, and they spoke of disturbances and riotous conduct outside his house, particularly on the occasion of fights of more than ordinary interest, such, for instance, 111 one between Tom Sayers and Bob Beattie, fought in September last, and one just before that, between Travers sod another. In answer to Mr. James, the wit nesses said there would be uo doubt that these assemblages of persons met for the purpose of learning the results of fights ; and the learned counsel Reid there was nothing more in that thanpersona rneetingat Tattenall's and throng ing Grosvenor-place to know the result of sonic greet nice, or nougregating round Bell's Life offico last Tuesoboy to bear the news of the recent match. The witnesses stated, gene rally, that the house was very disorderly conducted, no much so as to break the peace and destroy the rest of the neighloourhuod. The police said there WIWI not the least personal complaint against Langham. Mr. James address of the court for the appellant, and said, though he had not hail much experience as to the jurlsclic.- tem of the nuogististes in these matters, he confidently sub• witted to them that there had been no case whatever made out upon which they would act and refuse the appellant his license. There was no use disguising the fact that this was what was termed • fighting house, and that Leinglieru had been a pugilist, and that his house was resorted to by persons engaged in matters connected with the prize ring, but the house was Creased 1 with full knowledge of those facts, aud such houses had been licensed since the days when Byron and Mr. Holohouse went to spar at Tom Cribb's. But with respect to the way in which Laughano had conducted his house, not even the police hod any contplaint to make ; all the complaint wall with respect to what took place outside his house, net in, and that was a matter for the interference of the police, who load charge of the public highways, and were re sponsible for the preservation of order ; and had Lsngham interfered to I molest any pasta outside his house he would have been bible to proceedings for assault. It could not be alleged that Loongliam had br ,ken the tenor of his license, and why should the license be taken away now, to bring ruin upon I au iudivioluul, when it had been granted by the magistrates, l'year after year, with • fall knowledge of the way in which the house wee conducted, and that the house was one where numbers of persons went to seek information upon pugilistic matters. Laugh= bad no interest in these persons who aseemloled in the street, near his house ; it was not by them that lie made the prodit of Lis lousiness. His customers were of another class of per sons, and would it not be idle for a moment to say that the event of last Tuesday— the contest for the championship— was nut talked of in every quarter from the highest to the lowest. He knew it was talked of in the house ; it would be the lowest hypocrisy not to avow it—the prize ring was at present a recognieed fact, and licenses were granted and transferred to men who were known to be prize-fighters, who looked forward to the poessesion of a public-house as • sort of haven for their life, after they bad smote them selves some notoriety, fur the ready purpose of bringing to gether those with whom they had been assecuoted— those of kindred pureuit, who took an interest in tights and other sports, which was not confined to that chess, lout reached to dukes, member* of the houses, and even cicrn, Lien. Isuighano had never been (laity of riotous oor olisonlerly conduct to his house ; he had never incited the 'wrens& who met rimed his Loins to disturbances ; and if the magistrate.. granted hint the re newal of his oveae-- which there Lad beau no reason for forfeiting, as he submitted - any condition they might at tach to it would he faithfully observed ; and it was hoped that in mercy, if not justice, this bench would not single out cue individual from a class sad send him to utter rum by taking away from him a license granted and renewed from time to time with a full knowledge on the part of the magistrates of the habit. mod associatione of his life and the conduct of his house. . _ The Assistant...fudge told the bench that they mud de cide upon this question without the least preutlie.. as to any class of individuals, but simply upon the evidence. The appeal MAY I ejected by 19 votes to B. The case of Count was then proceeded with Mr. Serjeant liallautine, Mr. Metcalfe, and Mr. Poland were fur the appellant ; Mr. Keane, Mr. Tindal Atkinson, and Mr. Le Breton for the respoixlents. lu this case there were the sane general complaints against the appellant's house, that it was frequented by fighting men, and it was al leged that Caunt had been charged with offences against his license, hut one only was provelauelthat resulted in a convictionina penalty 1431. The nUidinlen complained of hail continued down to last Tuesday , when mote collected to ascertain the result of the fight between Sayers and Heenan. The magistrate. below hail refused the license on the ground of gambling being openly allowed in the house, of Client himself being addicted to habits of intemperance, and of disorderly priceediup, creating an annoyance and a nuisance to the neighbourhood. One ca.. was brought before the court ; it was that of • person named Garnet, who was alleged to have been drugged parlour, cheated out i 4 user 501., then ill-used, and when the case was reedy for trial • compromise was entered into among the parties concerned, and the com plainant withdrew the charge. Mr. Sierjeant lleilantino made an able and eloquent appeal to the bench on Cellist's behalf, entreating them nut to eon ' firm the refusal of the lice use after it had been granted to hint as a tiglitiug man, and the home as one frequented by person. iiiteioited in the ring for the lung period of 18 years.
