IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HO ÜBE OF COICIION S. —Wiwi TAD" Avower & (Continued from vemerdatv's Larva.) I' N lON OF LtEsNEFICSti The house west lam committee co the WI, bat almost After Mr. Meurns moved thit the chairman rep, rt proire.s. Thie motion was :strati.' Al by 76 to 16. t keg discussion took place os the I roposition of the hill that, ruder certain coediting" the City churches should be polled down. Stneg objections were made to the ile stro.tiori woo of the horst srchitecturkl feature , of the meta , pais. .tdiverting to the complaint that the churches were 0.4 filled, Sir Norma i , on behalf of the dun aten, uodertook to fill them, if the church would con. seat to jesrt with them. Ippeals were male to Mr. &oven, who hail charge of the belt to withdraw it. Sir C. LEWIS reminded the house that it was a Lords' bill, and, if they refused to consider it, the other bowie eonniler themselves justified in their unreasonable rule with regard to readies bills a wood time after the telt of July. He roliced the Cotton that under this 101 l any of the oekbrated churches of the City would be destroyed. sir J. SHELLEY, is reference to the former part of the argument, protested against the indolence of the House of lords, which did so little business at the begins* of the session that they mak' not puss this important bill in tints Ca due consideration by the Commons. It would teach them a lesson to reject their bilL The bill was, however, proceeded with. Mr. C. BENTINCK then moved in line 30, after " church," to mart "except as hereinafter vided,"ited to add the mid of the clause, " Provded always that no. this; in this act emsteincil shall authorise the pulling down the church', of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, fit. Martin, Lud gate. St. Peter, Conklin, and St. Swithin, Mason-skeet, or the towers and steeples of any of the churches walun the its of London." Yr. lOW VERIE did not think the amendment aricessary. It mould be unwise to distinguish between the churches which ought in their opinion to be prmerved, and those which ought not. Mr. NOItRIS thought that instead of a project for re moving the churches stonething ought to be dons to low prove the cooditios of the e, aad to piece in the pulpit men of sumcient ability to attract, a cooperation. He remade,' the bill am no objectionable that he trusted the right hon. member for Kilmarnock would consent to with. dr.o• it altogether. The population of the city of London , mite runkient to fill the City illumine, and if they did not MI, the fault most be within, and not without. Sr; ti LEWIS opposed the amendment, urging that if it were adopted the house had no *comity that the four churches named in the proviso were all that it was desirable to eimpt on architectural grounds. Mr. .1. SMITH concurred with the hon. member for Abingdon in suggesting the postponement of the bill until another 1.4.“100. He believed there wee not milleinat time for the proper consideration of the details of the roessurv, and the bill we, of too much importance to be disposed of . . A LIN'S regretted that the committee had not theiii.ehes of the opportunity afforded them two hours ago of disposing of the hill fur the present session. He thought uo lesidatioo alicukl take place upon the matter until a complete scheme were laid before the home. He felt perfectly satisfied that the bill in its pre nt shape wmild never owe through committee. dr. GRIFFITH asked what the reel expectation of the right hon. menilier for Kilmarnock was in reference to the proposals contained in the bill. Wee he serious in sup. posing that parliament would consent to the destruction of chur bee superior in beauty and originality of design to St. Paul's itself Lord J. N.4iNNIIILS thought the committee might fairly assent to the prep..al of the bon. member for Taunton (Kr. Dentinal, backed up as it was by the support of all the eminent architects in London. Mr. B. te4BrIICNE °mildewed that • hill involving im portant discussions upon questions of religion and architec tural taste should have been premed on forcomideratiou at this late period of the He had se little faith in the discretion of the eceleasstical commissioners as he had in that of parish churchwardees, and he believed they would be perfectly ready to pull down St. Stephen's, lit'a.lboiok, to-morrow if they thought tliat by doing so they would put mosey into their pockets. Sit G. LEWLY expressed a hope that the house would proceed with the bill If now Withdrawn, it would only give coonteminie to the irregular and inecovenient reaolu• nos of the House of Lords, by which they declined to read • sound time a hill introduced after the Mk of July, ne weeks before the probable termination of the cession. Hr CLAY said it was improbable that the four churches referred to in the resolution would be pulled down, but it was the duty of parliament to render inch • step hapoisible. die J. SHELLEY coniplained of the late period of the ODIUM at which the bill wee introduced, and said the home ought to retaliate upon the Howie of Lords by poising rue/Intim declining to nod • bill • sewed tune after a certain date. Mir U. LEWIS remarked that the bill came from the House of Lords on the l&th of June. BOUVERIE 1.1141 he had not proceeded with the bill at an Sieber period liecause be had wished to afford hon. members an opportunity i 4 becoming si , quitinted with its provimma He, how,•ver, would nut further oppose the proviso which had been proposed by the bun. member for TAOO4OII. The proviso was then agreed to, ■nd the committee pro rovdetl to consider the amendment tram/sod by Ur. Henley. Mr. /RH VERlEopposed the aniecdment, and said he dsl not concur in the sentimental feeling which had been ipressed. that because deceased persona had been interred in some of these churches the sites should he allowed to remain melees hereafter. Mr. CLAY protested against the light manner in which the nest hon. gentleman treated the liurAtioth rod said he thought the feeling of the persons interested in the matter should be consulted before the graves of the dead were demecrated. ter.liiiiLKY said the right hon. gentleman might sheer u much as he liked et the mown, otal feeling which kin pr , gal bad evoked, but he ercild assure him that it was a feeling which was shared in by every clam of the community. After Walt remark. from Mr. HADFIELD, Slr 11. LEvns oppneed the amendment, on the ground that its adoption would virtually defeat the whole bill. With regard to d..turbing sites which hail been consecrated to the burial of the dead, it must not be forgotten that the approaches t•o Gredow•hridge and St. Katlicnot's Duck were constructed on the cites of churches. Mr. HI'HIMMI), as a churchman, protested against the church of England making 'Ropey out of the sites of their own churrhes. M...

This bill, the cousiaeratiou of which occupied the attention of a select committee of the House of Commons Ise several weeks, has been referred to a select committee of the Upper Home, endifing of the Earl of Laren (chair man), Earl Amherst, Lord Dunpnum, Lord Courtown, and Lord Wysfoed. Mr. Denison and Mr. Webster appeared on behalf of the F° of the bill The gas companies were represented r vr rs *roma Wrangham and other learned gentlemen. 3h. Paget appeared in support of a petition against the bill from the Isaiah of St. Mary, Lambeth. Mr. Dentsoc said the promoters of the bill were prepared to take it in its present form, aa an experimental Mil be- Hering that it would work well for the public, although of so well as the bill originally presented. The gas com panies also were satisfied with the bill. The pariah of Lam beth, however, was dissatisfied with it, and proposed to make some material alteratioe& Mr. Serjeant Wrangham, after referring to the proceedings before the committee of the Have of Commons, said the result of that iequiry was a compromise, certain points being reserved for further consideration. One of the parties to that arrangement was the parish of Liunbeth, which now sought to reopen the whole question. He submitted that it was not in accordance with the practice of their lordship' house to allow one of the parties promoting a bill to take advantage of an arrangement, arid then turn their backs upon it, and hoped their lordships would decide that the parish of fit. Mary, Liunbeth, could not be heard. Mr. Paget contended that the parties whom he reprm seated had a right to be heard. Alter the bill left the com mittee of the other house there was a "whip" on behalf of the ps companies, who succeeded in obtaining the re-com mittal of the bill, which was then turned inside out, all the provisions which bad previously been inserted for the protection of the gas consumer having been struck out. The inquiry before their lordships was • new one, and he sub mitted that the proceedings ought to commence de novo. The parties whom he represented had always protested against the provision legalising the formation of districts by particular companies, to the exclusion of any competitor. The bill, which was originally a consumers' hill, had been converted into • produce's bill, and ought to be • The committee, after hearing evidence as to the nature of the agreement which had been entered into, decided that the parish of St, Mary, Lambeth, ought to be heard. Mr. Denivon observed that the effect of that decision was to place the whole of the bill before the committee. Now, the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, bad not opposed the preamble in the other house, and did not now peMtion against the preamble but against the 84.11 clause, which pro vided for the division of the metropolis into districts. Mr. Paget observed that the substantial point for con sideration was, whether their lordships would sanction the dietricting or not. After some disci:union, the committee postponed the preamble and intimated that the point might be considered on the nth clause. The first five clauses having been agreed to, with amend meets, Mr. Denison said the objection of the petitioners to the 6th clause was, that it would produce a monopoly in the sale of gas and deprive them of the benefit of free com petition. Now the statement which he had to make in support of the 6th clause was this. In the year 1887, the gas companies commenced the system of ditricting, thus depriving the consumers .4 the benefit of competition. In this way they become arbitrary mutes of the position, and refused to outer into contracte with public bodies on as favourable terms as before, and it was feared that before long they might become mire arbitrary and raise the price of pa. The system of districting being in existence, it was thought desirable to deal with it and obtain some re , etrictions advantageous to the public. The preamble of the bill recited that it was desirable that districting should be sanctioned by parliament, but the companies were not satisfied with the preamble, and procured the insertion of a clause prohibiting other companies from entering their dis trict. The parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, objected to the clause, hot with some alterations it was eventually passed, followed by certain restrictions, which removed the objec tions entertained by the promoters of the bill. Having pointed out the manner in which the clause bad been in troduced into the bill, he would not call any evidencq but leave the matter in their lordships' hands. Mr. Serjeant Wrangham observed that the districting clause was the foundation of all the concessions which the ps companies had made, and if that clause should be re jected they would rather not have the bilk Mr. Denison remarked that the promoters of the bill would not be satisfied with ite withdrawal. lir. Paget objected to the clause, and denied that any equivalent had been given to the consumer for handing over the districts to the gas companies. 'The committee had conceded to the companies the possession of individual districts, the introduction of clauses for the protection of 4 the gas consumer. One of these clauses provided for the appointment of three inspectors, with power to call for ac counts, to investigate the amount of capital, the dividend, Ice., for the purpose of giving the consumers the benefit of a reducti.o in the price of gas in the event of the dividends exceeding a certain amount. All them provisions were struck out when the bill was recommitted, whilst the dis tricting drown were retained, so that the bill now afforded no protector; clauses for the consumers. The question now was whether the legislature would consent for the first time to affirm the principle of monopoly in the supply of pa. The ili.ormso said the committee were prepared to adopt the principle of the districting clause, bus would postpone their final decision until they had considered the restrictive clauses, mid would then determine whether it should stand in its present form or be altered. The committee then adjourned. The committee met again yesterday. On the '2sth clause, which provide, that the illuminating power of the gas shall be tested at a distance of 1,000 yards front the works, Mr. Paget submitted that the tact place ought to be at a greater distance from the works, faximuch as the gas gradually deteriorated, and a test at that distance would be no test the quality of the gas at the distance of three miles. The gas ought to be tested at the place where it wee supplied. In the case of St. Maly, Lambeth, the Made Company charged 6d. per 1,000 feet extra beyond a certain distance, and the consumers ought to have eons guarantee that the light was of the proper quality. Mr. Serjeant Wrangham haying been heard in support el the clause, The Chairman intimated that the committee were et opinion that the clause ought to be retained. On amine 40, which gives an appeal to the Home Seem tart' in case of an advance in the pnce of gas by any of tae °Nominee, Mr. Denison ash] this was one of the points which boa been left open fur discussion between the gas compealee 'ad the promoters of the bill. The clause provided that In the event of any load authority dissenting frown any /1101111101113 the price of gas they may apply to the Secretary el Stetti, who shall ui,titute an inquiry ; and if he shall be et *ohm that there has not been any such increase in the oast el ps, or any other circumstances affecting the company as wM warrant such advance, be may prohibit the company from making an advance either wholly or partially. The cot , . sumer, preferred an open arbitration, under which witnesses could be examined on oath, and hoped the committee would substitute an arbitrator t.r the Secretary of State. Mr. Serjeant Wraoghani supported the clause, contending that if any inquiry was necessary the Secretary . of State was the most fitting person to decide the question in dispute. The Committee decided to substitute au arbitration in. stead of leaving the decision to the Secretary .4 State. Mr. Puget said, as the clause now stood it allowed the heal authorities of a district to raise the price of gas at their pleaeure. He was instructed to object to that on the pound that it would exclude the parties who ought to initiate proccedings. The Committee overruled the objection. Some discussion canned on the remaining portion of the clause, which provides that when any pa company shall change the supply from cannel tocommon gas, the rate shall be reduced to the lowest rate then charged by any company fur common gas. Mr. Boxier was called by Hr. Serjsant Wears/ham and examineil upon this point. He said, Mr. Wyatt •1 1 11 himself had arced upon the wording of the chime, and be delivered it to Sir J. Shelley to take into the house. Immediately afterwards Sir J. Shelley came not of the house and told witness that Mr. Avrtou insisted upon having this latter proviso inserted.

On the motion for the adoption of the report (which has already appeared in our colrunin), a slight diacussiou arose, during which the chairman said, in answer to several questions, that there was no in tention on the part of the government to withdraw any portion of the grant for the proposed line from Corfu to iftranto in case the company should be unsuccessful in re storing the Malta and Corfu cable. With respect to the , conditions of Mears. War and El li ott's agreement for the ' restoration of the Cagliari and Malta and Malta and Corfu cables, they would get nothing if =successful in restoring or recovering the cables. The new line from Corfu to Otranto would cast about 16,00 W. if paid for in shares, but • considerable reduction would be ma& if paid for in cash. With respect to the profit on the new line, after the payment of the preference dividends, that would entirely depend on the amount of business. The report we, ultimately adopted, and the directors were authorised, for the purpose of pro ' riding for telegraphic communication between the coast of Italy __and Corfu, to increase the capital of the company by 10,0001., to be raised in share, not =ending 10/. each, baying a preference dividend at the rate of $l. per cent.

John Ridley and Son, bide and leather merchants, of Newcastle and London, was held yesterday. The balance-sheet presented at the last meeting stated the liabilities at 23,0841., and the assets at 5,3661., and two inspectors were appointed to examine into the estate. The result of their investigations is shown in their report, the principal portion of which is subjoined : - . 1. As to the properly held by creditors, both partly sad fully secured, we are of sped= that the valuation has been fairly made, and that it will not realise more than the sums stated. 2. As to bills payable to be retired by drawers. —A portion of these were given in anticipation el pods not delivered, and will be retired at maturity, the drawers being good ; the remainder, representing 8241. lls. M., will come against the estate, the firm by whom they are drawn having suspended since the meeting, as well am further depreciating the assets by 2691. 19s. Bd., a debt due on open account by them. 3. As to bills receiv able.—These appear to bay* been carefully valued, and will oertaialy not result in a less liability than stated. On the other brad the debts and bilk on hand have been stated with ear% and the stock, which we have traced by means at the stock-books, is all duly amounted for and properly mined. The surplus from West Wharniley Farm, taken at 2311. 12s. 10 1 ., we regard as a very doubtful sask the valuation made under the direction of Mr. Kemp being subject to all the chances of realisation. Under all the ar podtonmetaaoss sod of the w itho ut which u hem dw h e2 i hn r.id oll y the dlel i strozz ;gained, we are of opinion that the bed mode of realising it will be by accepting the composition offered by Messrs. BONI to pay 4a in the pound, in three instalments, viz., la at three months, la. Gd. at six months, and In. at nine months, from August Ist, the last instalment to be secured. It was explained that the question rested between the acceptance of the 4s. offered and bankruptcy proceedings. After a short discusaiun, there being only a few creditors present, the report was adopted, and the composition speed to. Some of the creditors in Newcastle, however, threaten to place the estate in the Bankruptcy Co urt. The adjourned meeting also took place yesterday of the creditors of Mr. T. Randall (trading under the style of Parker and Co.), boot and shoe manufac turer and contractor, of High= Ferrers and Lon don. The previous meeting was adjourned to allow the value of the stock to be looked into, and an examination of the books by the accountant, Mr. Kemp. The result of the examination is that the stock is ascertained to have been somewhat under valued, and a small sum has been realised on the trading. The assets are consequently increased from 19,7331. to 20,4041., while the liabilities re main at 46,6161. The investigations of the ao countant show that Mr. Randall has carried on business from 1866 to 1868 at a very heavy loss, but in 1862 and 1860 a profit is shown. Re has been supported by means of advances from Mears. Streatfeild and Co. A sum of about 12,0001. is due from government on account of goods supplied by Mr. Randall, and is expected to be obtained in a month or six weeks. It was resolved to accept a composition of Be. &I. in the pound, 4a. 6d. of which will be quickly paid, while Is. 6d. is due at four months, and 2e. 6d. at six months, but discre tionary power is left with the inspectors to extend the period for the payment of the two last instal ments to five and eight months respectively, if necessary. THE LEATHER TRADE. The oonrse of the bide and leather trade is no ticed an follows by Mourn T. J. and T. Powell, under date yesterday : In our last Circular, dated July 4, we announced the failure of some of the largest firms connected with the leather and hide trade. Their suspension had occurred only two days previously, and the market was then suffer ing from the immediate shock which the magnitude of these disasters occasioned. The effect produced on the market has been much as we anticipated : we stated that we consi dered some depreciation in prices inevitable, but that no diminution of consumption could result from these calami ties. Our Price Current now shows a reduction in the va. Ins of nearly all descriptions of leather, the extent of which will be more particularly noted below, but we are happy to be able to state that a feeling of caladium has been growing throughout the month—that the sales, at the reduced rates, have been large- T end that the trade has hitherto =through the crisis most satisfactorily, proving that, the range of the houses thathave suspended a sound sad healthy state of the trade is prevalent. Made° important to take into consideration that of the enormous aggregate of liabilities which are shown 1)7 the whole of the firms sus pended, a very small proportion, probably not more than 10 per cent, represents capital, engaged in tte purchase or sale of leather and hides. The ator.ks belouging to these estates must therefore be very much smaller than would be sup posed, and there is every reason to expect that the removal of so much fictitious hulloess will work a great benefit to all le gitintate trade. In mw goodsafairamountof business has been done, considering the circumstances of the market. Although the imports generally have not been large, the stocks on the whole are generally increased. The home trade have bought sparingly, but a demand for exportation has assisted the market. Prices generally have declined, and with a little more disposition to concede in prices on the part of im porters the transactions would have been larger. At Leadenhall yesterday the transactions were about equal in extent to the previous Tuesday, and scarcely any change occurred in prices. The following, on the same trade, is from Messrs Culverwell, Brooks, and Co. Since the Bth ultimo there have been two series of public sales, the results of which may be regarded as satisfactory, the tone of the market generally being quite as favourable, if not more so than might have been expected after so try ing a crisis as the leather trade has so lately undergone. The leather market is reported to be moving steadily, • fair average amount of business being done, although at prices graduating slightly in favour of buyers. Salted hides are being held firmly by the importers and other holders interested. The prices required for South American Saladero) heavy ox being about 7id. per lb. ; Australian Sydney) selling as follows : heavy, firsts, at 54d. to 5f d. ; ight, firsts, 4ad ; seconds, 31d. ; Melbourne, first., heavy, 4ld. to sd. ; first, light, ted. ; seconds, 31d. to 34d. per lb. East India : All export qualities have been in good de mand, but at a decline of ed. to ed. per lb. for the month. The value of the hides sold was not large in the earegate, and chiefly confined to purchases for export, the home de mand being very small. The course of the crisis may now be viewed as passing away as regards London, although some more failures in the provinces may be reckoned upon, nevertheless, we have but little doubt that with a revival of confidence in all quarters the trade will soon assume • more active apnca, and be upon • firmer and steadier basis than h.oi ens the case for some time past. SHOCKING AND MYRTEILIOIIB OCCURS/NCH AT THE BOTHELL ROCKS, BIUSTOL.—RIDSTOL, WIDICKSDAT.— An appalling occurrence, and one which is attended by cir enmetances of considerable mystery, has occurred at the famous Hotwell Rocks, near this city. Those who are acquainted with the romantic scenery of Clifton and the River Avon will be familiar with what are known as the Cooke's Folly woods, and with the range of gigantic rocks which adjoins it. Those cliffs, which am called the Black Rocks, and were quarried by an extensive contractor named Eaglesteff, are of great altitude, and nearly perpendicular. The Durdbam Downs run out to the very eunimita of these cliffs, and, with a view to the safety of the public, a wall of about five feet high bee been built along them. At about seven o'clock this morning two of the quarrymen in Mr. Eagle staff's employ were crossing the upper part of the rocks to their works, when, at about half-way down the cliffs they observed amongst a mar of large blocks of stone the b ody of • man, lifeless, and sadly mangled. They gave an alarm, and a policeman of the Clifton division of the city police being near the spot, was celled, and assisted by some others he got the body down the rock, and deposited it in an out house near the Rock Tavern. It appeared to be that of a middle aged man, respectably dressed in black. The face and bead had been frightfully injured during the fall, and one of the legs appeared abio to have been broken. On ex amining the top of the rock there were found, at about five or six feet from the spot where the body must have coins over, two considerable pools of blood, and also marks as if • ! body or some heavy yielding substance had been rolled along but the blood did not approach the rock, nor is there any b iug in the condition of the man's clothes or linen to account for its preserce. A bat was picked up near the spot It is very much cut sad bruised, and no doubt belomgal to the deceased. Information of the catastrophe has been sent to the coroner of the county of Gloucester, within whose Ijurisdiction the body now lie*, and an inquest will no doubt se held. The body has since been identified as that of • Mr. Propert, • cooper by trade—a married man with five children. ACCIDLNT ON THE SOUTH WHISTRIEN RAILWAY. An accident happened on the South Western line on Mon day, unattended, fortunately, by serious consequences. The whole of the up Sunday might mail train got off the line between Farnborough and Woking • soon after 3 am. For tunately it ran off to the right instead of to the left side, and therefore got between the rails. Had it run off to the left it would have fallen over a steep bank. As it happened DO one was injured but the mail guard, who bad his head and hand' bruised. The tender was buried up to the axle. trees between the rails, the rand being windy. The line could not be cleated for tteraaesaee sate the middle of the day, Net in time for bar MO:sty to pre over it. THE UNITED STAVE 11A11.--800THAMPTON, WEDNIVIDAT. —The Bremen steamer New York left here to-day, with the United Steins mail. The mail was • very small one, consisting of not more than twelve begs. The New York took out nearly 500 passengers, chiefly Germans, and a large cargo. RAP Iritt EQUITY COURTS.—Arausr 8. (Wore the Lord Chancellor. ) WAI/11:118 r. NOROLIL This wan an appeal from Vioraianoellor Wood. The suit was instituted to compel specific performance of an agreement for a lease of the um& and minerals in about 40 acre; of land, called Egypt, in the county of Pembroke, for 21 years, renewable far a further period on certain paid royalties, and subject to all the usual covenants ; the lease to be settled in the judge's chambers if the parties differed. The defendant resisted the performance of the agreement, on the ground that he had been taken by sue- I prima, and that the plaintiff was aware that the property was of greater value than was summed, and that the royalties payable were wholly inadequate. The Vice. Ccellor dismissed the bill, and the present appeal was brought. At the conclusion of the arguments, The Lord Chancellor postponed his judgment till the first day of next term.

Debbi were proved in the course of the day to the amount of between 20,0001. and 30,0001. LN ILK LANdON. The bankrupt, a ship•broker, of 166, Ferichurch-street, applied for his discharge from custody. He had been in primon for fifteen months at the suit of Mr. Anderson, • solicitor, who bad advanced money to one named Callow, Callow at the time of the advance being bankrupt's partner, and having since failed and passed through this court, bank rupt became liable. The bankrupt was discharged from custody, and re ceived protection from arrest until the examination meet ing, which is appointed to be held on the 11th September next. ADJUDICAtION.-LEATHER TRADE.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCITIT.—GUILDFORD, Atinuffr 8. (Before Mr . Justice Blackburn.) Clarks Rawson, 48, described sea teacher, and who pre sented a wild and haippird appearance, was charged with feloniously setting fire toli stack of bay, the property of • farmer named Leonard, residing in the neighbourhood al Kingston. Mr. Sharp was instructed for the prosecution ; Mr. May was counsel for the defence. This case was specially fixed for yesterday morning, in consequence of the prisoner having made • desperate at tempt at suicide in his cell in Horeemonger-lane Gaol, on the morning on which the prisoners were to be taken down to Guildford, od he was not in • condition to be tried be fess. The circumstances of the ease were somewhat peen- Her. It appeared that the stack in question was fired on the morning of the Tani of May, and the prisoner was met by • police-constable coming away from the field where the stack was. After the fire was put out he was still seen lurking about the spot, and the constable asked him if he bad seen any one near the stack, and he at once admitted that he was the person who had set fire to it, and said he had done so with • lucifer match , and he at the mime time pulled several matches out of his pocket, and pve them to the Policeman. Vi hen the prisoner was asked in the usual form whether he was guilty or not guilty, he replied that be was guilty. Mr. Justice Black who had been made acquainted with the facto , inquired if Wrn, the prisoner was in a condition of mind to understand the nature of the proceeding that was going on. Mr. Lilley said he was instructed that he was not, and he had witnesses in attendance whom he should like to have examined. The jury were accordingly sworn to _inquire whether the prisoner was in a fi t state of mind to plead, and several wit names, his centavo, were examined. From their evidence it appeared that he had formerly been • schoolmaster at Kingston, but had become reduced, and latterly he had been in a very desponding state, and appeared to entertain the idea that he and hie family would suffer great distress, and he was eonstantly praying. It also appeared that he would sometimes go without food for two or three days, and no entreaties could induce him to take nourishment,ind the witnesses all stated their opinion that be was of un sound mind and not at all aware of the consequence that would result from his pleading guilty. Charles Maynard, one of the principal warders of Horse monger-lane, stated that when the prisoner was first brought to the gaol he appeared very wild and excited, and he was consequently not left by himself. On Friday evening, in consequence of an alarm that was given, be went to the prisoner's cell, and found that he had endeavoured tostran gle himself with a handkerchief. He was quite insensible, and the surgeons were rubbing him, but it was • considera ble time bider* he came to himself, and he was not in • fit state to take his trial before that day. Mr. Jelin Keene, the governor of the prison, produced • certificate of the surgeon, to the effect that at the present time the prisoner was of unsound mind. The jury, upon this evidence, returued a verdict that the prisoner was not in a fit state of mind to plead, and lie was rounded back to prison, and ordered to be kept in safe cus tody until her Majesty's pleasure should be known respect ing him. ADAMS AND WIFE r. OOZAY. This was an action for false imprisonment. Mr. Ribton and Mr. H. Williams were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Bernard for the defendant. The case was heard on Monday afternoon before Mr. Justice Blackburn. It ,appeared that the plaintiffs were husband and wife, and prow in an humble position of life, and that the defendant, Mr. Gouty, was the landlord of the Fountain public-house, in the Camberwell-road. On the evening of Saturday, the 12th of May, Mrs. Adams went out about 8 o'clock to purchase some necessaries for the family, and according to her evidence she stopped to pur chase some Rowers of • young woman near the defendant's house, and she told her such a lamentable tale that she invited her to have some refreshment, and went into the Fountain and procured • pint of beer, which she asked the permission of the barmaid to take outside. The flower girl at this time bad gone away some distance, and the plaintiff went after her, taking the beer with her. After the beer had been drunk it seemed that she did not return the pot, and she was eventually given in charge, and was locked up from the Saturday night until the following Monday morn ing upon the charge of stealing it , so d she was then dis charged from custody. The defence set up was that the plaintiff bed been drinking, and that under the circum stances the defendant was justified in giving her in charge. Mr. Ribten made • very earnest reply on behalf of the plaintiff, and the jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict in her favour, with 101. damages. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LercAsnra, Avousr 7. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Simon Den-Aura, late station master at the Brixenden station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, wall in dicted for forging an endorsement on a cheque, with intent todefraud the company. It appeared that a carter, named Worley, employed at the station, sent in his account for cartage for th e month of January list, and this account was, se is usual, sent to Manchester, when • cheque was made out for the amount, and sent to Worley under cover to the , prisoner. Worley never received the money, and it tran spired that the xis . oner had endorsed the cheque and drawn the money. The defence was, that the prisoner had only done what he had done before, and had drawn the money which he lost from his pocket at Bury, and intended to make it good. His lordship said the forgery was committed when Worm,- ley's name woe affixed without his consent, and the crime was no less, though be did intend to make it good. It was quite time such notions were exploded, for if it were allowed there would be an end to commercial transactions. The prisoners/ea sentenced to live years penal servitude. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Wswi, Auo. 8. The Mishima of the Bornerest assizes commenced totlay. The calendar is extremely light , containing only T 3 prisoners and 214 cases.

Mary Riley, 18, who pretended to be deal end dumb, end Patrick Riley, her brother, 30, were indicted up on several charges of robbery from te person. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Kr. Homy defended boa' 1,6. SODOM . . . . The particulars of this case have been fully detailed in the police reports. The evidence (written) was interpreted to the prisoners by a gentleman from the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, who, singularly enough, was himaalf entirely deaf. The male prisoner was Acquitted; there was no case against him. The female was found Guilty, sod several former convictions were proved against her. The Assistant-Judge sentenced her to be kept in penal servitude for five years; and as she was leaving the dock she shook hands with her brother, and said, "Good-bye, Pat," as plainly as one could 'ay it. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Ambrose Cass/Scine;;;;li — iirifirsis Thomas Howse, oom. mission *gents, were again placed at the bar on remand, charged with conspiring to defraud Meson. Ladislaus', Kiss and Co., of Watling-street, silk merchants, of 726 yards of silk, of the value of 1511. odd, by false pretences, in May last. Hones. was also charged with obtaining three other pieces of silk, of the value of fitt, from them under false pretences. Committed for trial. MARKETS. exerrow.—LrizarooL, Arcust & —There has been au active market again to-day, and the sales are very large, with £d. to 4d. per lb. advance upon last week's quotations, particularly for the lower qualities of Amencan, amounting to 20,000 bales—(including 18,500 American, 31st. to sg 1,000 Surat, ad. to 4d. ; 400 raptian, 84d. to ; 100 Pernam, 7d. to Rol, ) —of which 7,000 are for spa • culation and export. The week's import 17,861 bales. BILH.—The position of the silk market is noticed as follows by Messrs. Durant and Co., under date August 8 : " We have had a very quiet month in silk—heavy market and drooping prices. The reduction, however, has been nothing of moment. The stock is small,L and may now be expected to be continually diminishing for the next few months. This has enabled importers to realise the small quantity that has come forward without any decided con cession- -nothing exceeding tid. to 9d., and in some cases la. per lb. Within the last few days a better feeling seems to be growing up, although the home-trade is still bad, and foreigner, generally continue to act as if expecting lower prices. The strike at Coventry, which has been going on for some weeks, unfortunately still continues—causing a large diminution in consumption. In Chinese-thrown silk the demand has again relapsed to the minimum rate of the early months of the year—of this class the stock is unfortunately large. Bengal silk has formed no exception to the general quiet. In Italian silk we are without any arrival of new beyond a few balers. In Beutia and Persian silk nothing. CORN.—Bonvon, Atlanta B.—We have had a small show of wheat to-day, which fully realised but week's price*, and in souls instances is. par qr. advance was ob tained for fresh thrashed wheats, it having rained inces santly the whole of the day.

Brocerots-ow-Tsze, Annum' B.—The weather continues unfavourable for maturing the crops, being cold, with fre quent rains. The farmers' supply of grain at market this morning was very limited.
