MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL. Lord BT. LEAR...ABDO, after resenting a petition num*. resslv Sped ui fess: of this bill, moved the second reed. ing of it, and stated that the great object of the measure was to create courts of coacilistioa with a view to prevent Sr pot a stop to strike'. The noble lord was so Indistinctly heard is the gallery that only • few dlejointed sentences were heard. He was understood lis say that the provisims of .tis tell would not ditto'', pr , revit neck a strike a. that which reeentiy occurred is the hasliling tmde .of Loads', for it would be hantlf an. ...:.n. el of conciliation to settle such a dispute as ▪ that, but the ob j ect of the immure was to bring &ago- Orr meter. sad operatives, and if that could be moons gybed it we Impel sad believed that • good feeling would aw-n between them, and that them strikes which had lately happened, and which they so frierently 'tittered, wield not take place. In introducing the bill in th-or lordships house, he bad been solely animated by a ,desire to {sunset* an amicable feeling between mister. and operatives, and to prevent the recurrence of thews strikes which entailed each immutable coniequence& By thin bill the court of °mediation could be established without a !bream from the crown. The council won to con sist of not leas than two masters and two workmen, or more than tee reastem mei ten workmen, and a chairman. The powers of the council were thole est forth in the Nit of deep IV., esp. M. The council could not entertain any eon miler both master and workmen expressed their vril- Sepses to submit to its arbitration. The petitiorers for the beam were authorised to proceed to the appoiutment el a conned of conciliation and arbitration from among Illeeseseleas within :A) days of such creed of license.

The noble and Ranted lord concluded by moving the .eeond reading of the bill. lord RAVENSWORTH moved as an amendment that the bill he read a second time that day six months. He founded his obectiou to the reassure on its interfering with the existing relations between masters and workmen, arid liecluse et proposed to superseile the law now in form. The Earl of DERBY said his noble friend had stated varl.4lllOhjeCtlOUN to the machinery and provisions of this bill, hut at the same tune he stated that the exist* law wan in his judgment susceptible of improvement. Now he was dews I to ;give a favourable canideration to any menus, that professed to obviate the mischievous esesequeneee which arise out of disputes between mestere and mm. The premed bill was recommended se to its principle by the high authority of his noble and learned friend, and by the unanimous opinion of a select committee of the ;tonal of Commons. At the same time hi. noble and learned fricid himself pointed oat several provisions of the I hill which would require to be amended in committee, and bi noble friend who moved the amendment showed that the tensor, was liable to many serhas ohjections. He should the-efore, act wishing summarily to reject a bill of lhi kind. vote for the second reading ; but unless it I mere altered in committee, so as to meet the übjectioos to which it was bales in its present shape, he should be sorry to s e it rev I 1 third time. Enrl GRAN VILLE complained of the loose phraseology of the bill, end it was unite obvious that it could not pause it was draws. He agreed with the noble earl, however, that u this was a measure in which the working choose took a great interest, it might not to be dealt with use SUM mary way 1.• rejecting the woad reading. He should therefore *rigged to the noble lord (Ravensworth) that be should withdrew his amendment, end move, instead, that it referred to c select committee.

Mr. OAYLEY asked the Secretary of State for 'War wither it was allowable for odious of yeomanry regiments to receive commissions in volunteer . corps? Mr. M. HERBERT said that app lications had been made to him by lorda.lieotenant to know whether or not they osight to grant commissions in volunteer corps to oflicen of militia or yeomanry, and the decision the War-office had arrived at was that wh.cli he believed some lonic-lieu tenant had acted upon.

Lad been taken to prevent the spread of it. Mr. S. HERBERT said he found upon inquiry that glanders was suspected among some bones at Mdershott, and orders had ocenquently been given to separate them from the rest. Subsequently a board of officers was as sembled to investigate tha matter, and they reported that the hones were sot affected with gtandere—(a laughl—but the few which were suspected were removed. In reply to ►dr. Bouvutte. Mr... HERBERT further stated that it was not true that some of the hone, of the Hone-Guards had been in a stable from which horses affected with glanders bce bleen removed, without any precautions being previously taken. He had heard of a case in which suspicions were entertained, but the stable, before being used again, was ;Willed, and the roof taken off. NEW POMP-OFFICE AT EDLNTURGH.

THE PRIVILEGE QUESTION. Mr. DL'RAELI said the house was under the impres sion v..sterday that her Majesty's government would inform the hot. we what course they intended to pursue respecting the revort of the committee on pnvileges— (hear, hurl-- and it v:oukl be very convenient if the resolutions were now an..ounced, which they were under the impression that her Majesty's government had engaged to submit to the Immo. (Hear, hear.) Lord ~ RUSSELL said that the resolutions would no doubt be placed upon the table that night. (A laugh.) He warn understood to add that they could not be brought forward blot* Thursday. GI NEHAL OFFICERS IN THE ARMY. Colonel LINDSAY moved for • select committee to in quire into. and report upon, the claims of seven major generals to the pay of general officers, who were now receiving only the half-pay of brevet-majors, and who ac cepted the substantive rank upon half-pay upon the terms and engagements contained in the Horse Guards memo randum of the 25th day of March, 1826, and general order of the 25th day of Aped, 1826. Colonel NORTH seconded the motion. General BUCKLEY thought the house to grant this committee of inquiry, am there a to be some doubt about the question. It seemed to s t sez2 in rather an un fair thing that these old officers, having taken their promo tion at the time they did, should find themselves no better off when they arrived at the rank of general officers. Mr. 3. HERBERT would entirely assent to what the honourable and gallant gentleman hail laid down, assuming this to be a question of bargain. If a bargain had been made, it ought not to be set aside ; and if justice required that these ofScers should have this increase of pay, they ought to have it. The amount involved was not such am to MUM any difficulty, for it was only the difference between paying 9a. 6d. • day and Vs. • day to seven old officers. There wan no consideration, therefore, which could bias his mind upon this case, except his sense of duty, and the feet that upon examining the claim, he did not think it was justified by the facia. The honourable and gallant officer had said that them officers went on half-pay fee the benefit at the service ; but he (Mr. S. Herbert) did net see what that had to do with the matter. Of course it wee optional for them to script that arrangement, and when they accepted it they did so. not for the sake of the service, but for their own sake. They went on half-pay, reedy* at the same time • step of rank ; they had been brevet major., and they became substantive majors. An example of this bad occurred of late years, when some of - errs, who had got breed rink for services in the Crimea, accepted the substantive rank of major instead, and thought it was • good bargain for them to go on half-pay with that step, expecting of course to exchange back on full pay, and so realise the benefit of it. But they did so at • tisane when the lists were full, and the malt room for promotion that existed made it difficult for them to get back. The old officers referred to in this motion had made a more advantageous arrangement, for whilst they went on hslf.pay at their own request, they were not to suffer the disadvantages attached to half-nay with regard to the provision for widows. It might be said they were not married men at that time, but they were not then too old to have wives, who would be entitled to pensions. The rule had been laid down that no man wee to be deemed fit to rise to be a general officer, with certain advantages, unless Le had served six years as a rank and file officer; and • man could not become • colonel unless he had served • certain period as • heuteuant-colonel It was to ensure the efficiency of the higher rank of officers that these rules were made. But it was now proposed to make an excep tion in the case of these half-pay officers, who had never served since 1826. Pot these reasons, acting on the best judgment he could form, he bad declined to accede to their request ; and now, with regard to the hon. and gallant geotlernan's motion, he would frankly say that he did not think the Howe of Commons was • proper tribunal to de cide this mendies. °enema PM said that for his own part his judgment was quite se her from bias in this matter as that of the right hem preatlenne. He had lever known these officers er hoard of say of them until their case was brought before Ma whoa his held office. Brit he had no doubt whatever that they were addled to be placed in the same position as that is which they had reasonably imagiLed they would be placed. He thought it would be far better to let the officers have the committee they asked for. It was a bad bargain for Use country. hut they ought to keep to it. Colonel SYKES said it appeared to him that government had not kept faith with these officers. A good case required only a plain and complete statement, anti the very elabo rateness of the argument of the right hoc. gentleman (Mr. a Herbert) showed that his case was • bail one. If the gallant colonel preened his motion he should go into the lobby with him. Colonel DUNNE was always unwilling to submit a mili tary question to a select committee of that house ; but ,L 1 the present and the late Secretary for War bad given differ ent opinions, what were they to do ? The house thee divided when there appeared : For the motion Against it The announcement ofj the numbers was received with cheers by the opposition. CADETRHIPS IN THE ROYAL NAVY. Captain Ei.MONDE moved for a select committee to in. quire into the present system of nominations fur cadetships in the royal navy. Lord C. PAGET was satisfied that no committee that the lions* could appoint could deal with the subject so well as the department to which it naturally belonged ; and he hoped. therefore. that the motion would he rejected. Mr. LINDMAY thought that the explanation which the *obis lord bad given was unsatisfactory, sod U no Letter one was offered be should vote for the inquiry. Yr. TAYLOR also supported the motion. Mr. WHITBREAD mid that the object of the proposed inquiry was merely to ascertain what the existing system was, ad not because soy case had beeu made out agaiust S. It was not pretended that the appointments were jobbed away, or that the boys who received them were not the sort of boys who ought to have them. Before thy hon. and pliant gentleman asked the house to agree to his motion be ..ught surely to have sketched out some better plan than the one that already existed. Mr. LOCKE sail it was very well to have • list of condi ' dates, but what the house wanted to know was, on what Principle persons were taken off it to receive the appoint. menta. The government could have no objection to the motion if their system wax strsightforward and above board. Kr. BEAIRLSH expressed a similar opinion. Mir F. BARING said that it was quite without pre erilmt to ask for an Inquiry without first making out some awe to justify an examination into the practice of the executive government ; but he (the right lomat) Lad uot yet beard a single word to ex a what the object of the ......puttee realy wee. If the wanted acv information a. to the number of appoint ments given to the em. of naval. or military, or India °M eets, they could easily obtain it by moving for returns ; and be (the right hon. baronet) hail no hesitatioo in saying that those °Hoers might obtain appointments for their moos without any interest whatever beyond their services. Of course cases might occur of the failure of an appileation ; bet it W.V. obvious that that mutt Esessiarily hoppers if it was made at a time when the list was already crowded with good claims. He for ors could certainly not agree that the appointment. should be reserved for the sons id officers only ; for he thought it would he • greet evil to shut the door against the adn.iasion of civilians.

EIHIANINENT OF THE THAII:S9. This committee met again yesterday ; Sir Joseph Paxton in the chair. Mr. `Scott, Crty Chamberlain, who had been examined on a former day, waa again called. He entered into a long financial statement connected with the corporation of Lon don, io the course of which he mid the contribution of 300,000/. to the fund for the construction of the Metropo litan Railway was made by the corporation with the view of restoring the value of their property in the neighbourhood of New Victoria -irtmet, in Smithfield, and in the neighbour hood of the old Fleet Primo, and he felt convinced the out lay would be remunerative. The Chairman relocated the witness to furnish the com mittee with the estimated value of the property to which he referred. Witness said he was prepared to give the committee all the information in his power, and was =dug to reply to the question put by the chairman, when Mr. Alderman Cubitt objected, saying he was at a loss to know what this committee, sitting on the question of the embankment of the Thames, had to do with an inquiry into the property of the ation of London. The room was onlmed to be cleared, and when the public were lieo admitted, no decision on the point was an. pounced, but Mr. Scott was re-called, and in reply to the Chairman stated that the corporation were very favourable to an em• bankmeet of the Thames, and 30 years ago they had origi nated a plan for the embankment of both sides of the river. Kr. Penrose, architect and surveyor to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral, was next examined. He described the nature and character of the strata on which the construction of the several edifices rested. He did not apprehend any danger from the sewers proposed to be ear ned near the cathedral, supposing that proper care and caution acre used in the construction. Au open cutting would be highly dangerous and objectionable. Mr. Perry, a vestryman of St. Luke's, Chelsea, was next examined at considerable length in reference to the efforts which had been made by that parish to secure an embank ment of the river from Battersea-bridge to Vauxlrll - The committee then adjourned. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT _ ACT. The committee continued its sitting on Monday ; Mr. F. Peel in the chair. The other members present were Sir J. Hammer, Mr. Hamm* Mr. Childers, and Major Stuart. The consi deration of the 7th clause in connexion with the 20th, was resumed, and after some additional evidence had been given, the committee expressed an opinion that the most convenient course would be to take the first portion of the 7th clause, and decide the general question whether all parte of the metropolis should bedeemedto be equally beneetadby the expenditure of the general board. Mr. Hops Scott, Q.C. who appeared for the Regent's Canal Company, the Grand Surrey Dock and Canal Company, the Commer cial Dock Company, and the Vauxhall-bridge Corn piny, addressed the committee at considerable length, contending that the principle of benefit ought to be main tained, and that it bad been almost the invariable custom to ammo the description of property which he represented at only one-fourth the amount at which property of other descriptions was ass:aged. The committee then adjourned. The committee re-assembled yesterday—Mr. F. Peel in the chair—when Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., concluded his address on behalf of the various dock companies for which he appeared. Mr. Rummell Gurney, Q. C.,then addressed the cota mitt°. on the part of the corporation of London, stating that upwards of fifty miles of sewers had been constructed at the expense of the city ; that it could not be benefited by the main system by the Metropolitan Board, and therefore that it not to be called upon to contribute in the same pro portion as the other parts of the metropolis. Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., submitted to the committee, on be half of several parishes for which he appeared, that no such inconvenience existed under the present system as to cell for the substitution of an entirely new pnnciple. Mr. T. Smith having 'been heard on behalf cf the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, the room was cleared, and the committee deliberated. _ _ On the readmission of the parties, The Chairman mid the committee had decided upon taking a middle course, 'and would leave it to the general board to decide from time to time on what principle the contribution to the expenses under the act of 1a53 should be made—whether by the whole metropolis equally or by the several parties according to the benefit which they may be considered to derive, and proposed to alter the clause accordingly. The committee then adjourned. SOUTH KENSINGTON musErm. The select committee of the House of Commons ap pointed to inquire into the conditiou and capataities of the South Kensington Museum met yesterday for the find time, Mr. Lowe in the chair. The other members of the committee are Sir J. Shelley, Mr. Emmet, Mr. Adderley, Mr. Bentinck, Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Cole, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, Lord W. Graham, Mr. Hankey, Mr. Hutt, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. John Locke, Mr. Jos. Locke, and Mr. Stirling. The committee having arranged their course of proceed ing, proceeded to examine Mr. Cole, the superintendent of the museum. The examination during the time the corn. mittee sat was directed solely to the met of the museum to the public as a whole, and the contributions it had re ceived, with their value. Mr. Cole stated that the total amount of the area occupied was i)9,280 square feet. The I annual cost of the establishment voted by parliament was in 1857-8, 43,339 r.; io 1858.9, 52,380/. ; and in 1859-00, 57,7001. The cost which had been defrayed be the nation for ornamental art examples since 1838, and which had come out of the estimates, amounted to 38,209/., and for architectural its and ornaments 2,0001. The vulue of the loans since the establishment was 460000 f., exclusive of the Kob-i-noor . The total cost of the building from 1855 to 1860 amounted to 167,805/., while the total amount of the private gifts was 88,592/. The whole value of the loam since the establishment was 467,4641. The witness then went into particulars respecting the cost of the different galleries, such as the Sheepshanks Gallery and others, as well as into the cost of several other departments of the museum, and had not finished this portion of the evi dence when the committee adjourned. THE PRIVILEGE QUESTION. A meeting of the General Committee of the Northern and Midland Counties Constitutioind Defence Association was held yesterday afternoon, at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester.—Mr. H. Mseoe, Mayor of Ashton underLyne, was requested to preside. —Mr. Alderman Hyland% of Warriogtoo, moved the following resolution : "This committee, having regard to the principle laid down in the report of the select committee on Tax Bills, that ' the Commons grant and the Lonls assent,' considers it to be the imperative duty of every liberal member of parlia ment to resist to the utmost the violation of that principle involved in the rejection of the Paper Duties Repast Bill by the House of lonic, whereby taxation to the amount of 1,400,0001., not granted by the Commons, will he levied on the country."—Mr. J. T. llibbert seconded the resolution.— Yr. G. Wilson cordially concurred in the resolution, but submitted that an association like this should be prepared to take the initiative in doing something more than passing resolutions. He had no doubt that, whenever the intellect of their executive committee should address dad( to the task, it would And itself equal to the adoption of some con stitutional means of showing that, in Manchester at all events, whatever might be the vote of the House of Corn. mons this week, Englishmen would not sit down until the recent aggrenion on the constitution was repelled. (Cheers.) Mr. .1. C.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE-jinx 3. Sittings at Nisi Prius for London.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries.) PODMOB6 r. TOL U66AT NORTNIZII RAILWAY COMPANY. This win an action for damages, arising out of the well known collision which took place at Hitchin between two trains on this line. The plaintiff is a wholesale tea dealer and n partner in the firm of Podmore and Hester, Fenchurchetreet. At the time of the accident the plaintiff wee& traveller from King's cross to Edinburgh and on &business excursion, and, as may be remembered, the down train came into collision with an excursion train at klitehin. By the collision several carriages were smashed to pieces and the plaintiff was filing into the road, where he lay over an hour ingreat pain, his hip being dislocated. Whilst the operation of reduction was being effected the plaintiff had to submit to great pain, and the expense he was put to by his illness amounted to 2001. The plaintiff and his partner proved that their busi ness at Edinburgh had been very much injured by the ab sence from Edinburgh of the plaintiff, caused by his acci dent. The negligence of the company's servants having been admitted the o question was the amount of damages to be awarded, a nd this was finally settled by the counsel on both rides putting their heads together, when it was agreed the plaintiff should receive 2,000/. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. Mr. Lush, Q.C.. and Mr. J. Browne, appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, Q C., represented the company. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Bsfore Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Special Jury.) PRlrt C. CHARILLIGTON AND OTHICHIS.-ALLEGLD 1118UPRE- This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a publican, to recover compensation in dama for false representations, whereby he was induced to pu rch ase the Duke of Cumber land public.house, in High-street, Kensington. Mr. Serjeaot Parry and Mr. Gibbons appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Phipson represented the defendants. The caw for the plaintiff was that through the false representations of Messrs. Poole and Pinder, who were in the defendants' service , he was induced to purchase the house in question, the defendants advancing 1,2001, on the lease. During the year which he had possession he lost 9001. his takings only amounting to 201. a month, instead of 41, as represented. l'he defence was that the plaintiff had been told the house was not so good as at ought to be, owing to the neg lect of the former landlord, but that with proper attention it might be made a good concern. A number of witnesses having been examined on both aides, . . The jury retired, and having been locked up for three Yours, were discharged without coming to a verdict. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JULY 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner Nichols.) IN NI WILLIAM WILNON THE lIMINOZIL This insolvent, who applied to be discharged from prison, was opposed by Mr. Murphy, as counsel for Messrs. Abbott and Co., brewers, and suppo rted by Mr. Sargood. The case disclosed some painful circumstances. The in solvent had been connected with a New Zealand house, and in 1858 became agent for the opposing creditors, who had supplied ale to 1,55 W., and bad remitted to them 7211., leaving them creditors to about 8001., for which he was arrested. In 1F358 the insolvent married and went to New Zealand with his wife, who became very ill. The illness continued, and when he was about to return to England she threw herself from the ship and was drowned. His own stated mind on account of his wife's Maces had affected him, and the conduct of another party and the outlay he had made had deranged his affairs. Since his return to Eng land be had made offers of settlement. Mr. Murphy submitted that he had preyed a breach of trust. Mr. Bargood insisted that the insolvent had fully ex. plained the matter, and that he was an object of deep sym pathy on account of his misfortune, . . . . . . Commissioner Nichols was of opinion that no breach of trust could be established. No evidence was given on the part of the opposing creditors, and the insolvent was the only person who had been examined. The insolvent was discharged. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Aesistant-Judge.) Patrick Fitzgerald, 30, a letter carrier, was indicted for unlawfully and indecently assaulting two girls, named Julia Mahoney and Julia Murphy. Mr. Sleigh appeared on behalf of the Associate Institute for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Females ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe. The particulars of the case, which lasted over four hours, cannot of course be given, but it may be stated that the evidence disclosed juvenile depravity and parental profli gacy such as is seldom brought before the notice of a court of Justice. The girls were between the ages of 10 and 12. The prisoner was found Guilty; and The Assistant-Judge, after a few remarks upon the enormity of his conduct, sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months. (Before Mr. Payne.) Jane Bateman, 29, servant, was indicted for stealing three damask slips and • table-cloth, value 101., the pro -sy. of the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, the Home Some , in the dwelling-hove of James Hibbert. Saturday morning, the 16th of June, the prisoner was found by police-constable 24 F, in Drury-lane, very drunk, and surrounded by a number of children who were having • game with her. The constable, on interfering, observed something rather bulky under her shawl, which turned out to be a valuable damask table cloth, which, with three din ner-table slips, formed part of the contents of • basket which was stolen from the kitchen of • laundress, No. 2, Fulham-bridge-yard, Knightsbridge, on the same morning or Lite on the previous evening. They were the property of Sir G. C. Lewis, for whom the laundress had washed many years, and had never lost an article before. The pri soner the same morning pledged the three damask slips at Mr. Livermore's, 43, Drnry-lane. for 7s. 6d., and got drunk with the money. She said nothing in her defence, and the jury found her Guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced her to twelve months' hard labour. Gee. Frederick Stirling, 23, a coloured man, was convicted en Monday, by his own confession, of robbing John Martin Roussillon of a pair of gold spectacles, his property. The prosecutor was leaving the Sabloniere Hotel, Lei cester-square, when the prisoner rushed at him and snatched • pair of spectacles Le was wearing fron: Ids nose. The police gave a very had account of the prisoner. He was the son of a black woman, well known about Newcastle-court and the neighbourhood of Temple-bar, who bad been convicted in this court. He had been repeatedly convicted, and bad served out a sentence (within a few months) of four years' penal servitude. The prisoner very earnestly begged for another chance, urging that he would never do a ilia. honest thing again, and that his mother was almost in a dying state. Holmes, of the F division, said the prisoner since his liberation hid associated with a gang of the very worst of thieves, and had lived with a notorious prostitute and thief. The Assistant-Judge said there was only one course to take in such a case, and sentenced the prisoner to six years' penal servitude. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. William Hayes waschargeCeah obtaining money from Mr. John Muir, an American merchant, by a false repre sentation. _ _ The defendant kept a shop opposite the Royal Italian Opera-house, in Bow-street, for the 'ale of opera tickets, and the complainant stated that on calling there and inquiring if they were the duly authorised agents of the theatre, the defendant replied, " Yes," and sold him two stalls for the amphitheatre, charging him 30s. The com plainant observed that the advertised price was 7s. each, upon which the defendant rid, "The tickets have been raised, owing to the extraordinary demand;" and com plainant, upon this representation, paid t'.e amount de manded, being more than double the proper price. He was afterwards informed that be lual been cheated, the defen dant being no agent of the theatre, and now he sought for redress. Mr. Murdock, from the box-office of the Royal Italian Opera, proved that the defendant was not an agent of Mr. G7e, and that the tickets in question hail been procured, with two others, in the name of Johnson. No advance was ever made at the theatre upon the advertised prices, and the complainant mMtt have procured his stalls at 70. each on Monday if ho bad applied at the theatre. The defendant wished to know why he had been brought from his business and to whom he was to look for redress. Ho took a shop for the espies+ purpose of buying opera tickets and selling them again at advanced prices. If he did not sell the tickets he was the loser of the original cost of them. It was hisepeculatioo, nod what he did was done ever day by the fashionable puhliahers in Bond-street. Mr. Jardine—You do not seem to understand the charge against you, which is really a very serious one. You are charied with fraudulently representing yourself as the agent of Mr. Cye, and causing this complainant to believe that the tickets had been raised in price by that gentleman's authority. Now that is a criminal offence, in my opinion. The Bond-street publishers do not represent thamsehres as " agents." The defendant—l only represented myself as my own agent. . Mr. Jardine—Mr. Moir swears otherwise, and I am pre pared to act upon his evidence, unless he prefers adopting the other course open to him—that of taking civil proceedings spinet you for the recovery of the money. I ens only Nay it Is much to he regretted that people will he so foolish as to purcham3 their tickets at these places, instead of going to the theatre. . . The eomplainwit said he would take time to consider what he should do. George Blakey, alias Pe7k, — aa . Boma Blakey, residing at liolbern.buildings, were charged with burglarlotialy broiling and entering the dwellingloute of Mr. Berge, 26, Johnatreet, Bedford•row, on the night of the 14th ult and stealing therein a large quantity of silver plate, se% end diamond rings, and a number of other articles of the value of about 9001. Both prisoners are well known to the police and to the officers of the different prisons. The persons who nom. witted this burglary must evidently have known the house well, for they got over a low wall and then over six or seven other walls. They then mounted an outhouse, and forcing the catch of the staircase window entered the house, and proceeded to the drawing-room, having had to force two folding-doors in their progress. Having possessed themselves of their booty, the thieves left the house by the front door. The robbery was first discovered by the prosecutor, who, on going down stairs about six in the morning, was surprised to find his moms strewed with the contents of the drawers, and the whole of the plate on the sideboard removed. Amongst the property stolen was a silver cup, gilt inside, engraved, "To Lionel Louis Berge, by his godfat he r, H. Salzmann -" three silver table spoons, II dessert spoons, nine table forks, initials " F. B. ; " and two rings, one a diamond mourning ring, "In mernoryof and one, "In memory of Julia Moses." Information was given to the s .lice, and the matter was placed in the hands of Sergeants .wn, SE, and Franklin, VA E,andßobinion, of the detective force. The prisoners, who are well known to Sergeant Chown, have been out of the way since the night of the burglary until the morning of their apprehension, when they were taken into custody by Sergeants Chown and Franklin, but upon the prisoners ' rooms being searched none of the silver plate and jewels could be found. A further search was made, and in a table drawer was a large clasp knife, which the prosecutor identified as having been brought by him to this country from a foreign part, and which be swore was in his house on the night of the bur glary. Both the prismiera before the robbery had been wretchedly clad, but now have new clothes of a costly description. The prisoners, in defence, said that they were innocent of the charge, and knew nothing whatever of the robbery. As for the kn ife, the male prisoner said he could bring a man who made the knife, and who also repaired it. The prosecutor said lie was quite certain about the knife, the more especially as the marks on it which be had made in knocking down one of the rivets were still upon it. Inspector Pethers naked for a remand, to enable the police further time to investigate the matter. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the male prisoner bad better produce the evidence he had spoken of on the next occasion. He should remand the prisoners for a week. MARKETS. carrox.-14vErtrooL, JULY 3.—Our marset continuos extremely fiat, with a moderate business at previous mite,. The sales are 7,000 hale —including 5,566 American, at to 81d. ; 1,200 Surat, at 3d. to 40. ; 120 Egyptian, at 7„,i. to 10d. ; 26 Penang, at 70. ; and 21 Bahia, at 70.- which 2,500 are for speculation and export. The wec6's import is 20,769 bales. COTTON GOODS.—MAIICHESTKR, JULY 3.—The market is quiet for all descriptions of yarns, and prices are lower, though not quotably lower. There is no business doing for India, nor is there any buainess of moment for any other market. Such orders as have been given out have been for small quantities, and business claws as it opened for yarns—very fiat. In cloths there is no improvement for any market, according to the great majority of reports, in prices, although the fine weather appears to have put peooe in rather better spirits, and manufacturers are not such willing sellers as they were up to yesterday at the reduced prices recently taken. Clothe for India still re main at low prices for India and China. In fabrics suited for other markets, such as long cloths and T cloths, prices are rather steadier, though without any large business being done. Obe great drawback to any improvement, no doubt is a fear that, after the exceedingly large shipments to India of the past month, and the receipt of intelligence at Calcutta of the heavy decline of values here, we shall have accounts thence of a more discouraging character than those already to hand. WOOLLEN.—LEann, Juts 3.—The market has been well attended this morning, sod the improvement we noticed on Saturday has been sustained. Ordinary broad cloths and heavy goods continue to be mostly in demand ; light fabrics are dull sale. The transactions have been of a full average extent fora Tuesday's market. The favourable change impart. oonuderable confidence in the prospects of trade. MANUFACTURES.—HUDDEILSVIILD, Jinx 3.—A fa vourable change in the weather seems to have given • little more confidence in trade as a greater amount of goods has changed hands to-day than on any market-day during last month, but with this improvement business is not near so brisk as might have been expected for the season, had it not been that fears are entertained of a deficient harvest. WOOLS.—Ht DDESSFIELD, JuLT 3.—The demand for wools is rather limited, manufacturers using caution in their purchases, buying in small quantities only, but prices main tain their usual rate. CORN.— Hutd., JULY 3.—At to-day's market a small supply of English wheat; farmers will not submit to any material reduction, and the few sales made about Is. per qr. below last week's currency. Foreign bald firmly at full rates. Barley in good request at rates in favour of sellers. Beaus and peas move nit steadily at unaltered quotations. Oats still dull, but not pressed at any further reduction. The foreign imports last week are as under ;—Wheat, 961 qrs.; barley, 292; oats, 5,109 ; beans, 773 ; peas, 2,438 ; linseed and rapeseed, 43 ; oil cakes, 63 tons ; LOW" 445 tons. LZEDS, JULY 3. —The fresh supply of wheat is very small. Millers strive hard to take advantage of the fine day, and refuse to purchase except at a decline. This, however, is resisted by holders, consequently but little business is doing. Barley nominal. Beans and other articles without alter-- Mon. NEWCAIITLE, JULY 3. The weather has at length assumed a more settled appearance, which will enable our fanners to proceed with turnip sowing and bay harvest. The hay harvest, however, is likely to be seriously inter. rupted by the great scarcity and dearness of labour. At our market this morning we hail it moderate show of wheat from the growers,and having nothing fresh in of moment since Saturday the trade opened flrntly,a.nd although the amount of business passing was limited full rates were iwquiresl. For the best south country red 61e. per 5041b5. was realised. Our millers showed a disposition to operate in foreign bad • slight concession been made, but factors being unwilling to make any abatement, few transactions resulted. For a cargo of red Wolgast 61s. was again refused ; whilst a few retail sales of mixed Daatsic were reported at 61s. per 15041b5. Flour sold slowly but in its value we quote little variation, and the same remarks will apply to other articles. TRAFFIC RATURNS. lail.-ATs. 1111. Paw Yam Total. Teta'. ewen. modem ebaadlve.
