ThE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1860. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONB.—WernimAy, .Itris 11. iCuLtinued from vasterdiree Exprus. CENSUS (ENGLAND) BILL Mr. B. OSBORNE said that whatever ripinioa boa. mew hers might entertain of the speech (by Sir G. Lewis) which they hail just heard, they must at all events admit its impartiality. (Laughter.) The right honourable geutleimui had happily reflected upon every party in the hours., and had delivered an address so full of inconsistency that, no one could be surprised at the conclusion which had been erne,d at. There was, however. one part of the argu ment of the right hon. gentleman which showed more senti ment nal feeling than reason. The right hon. gentleman had pointed out that it was hi wish to assimilate the rya tell I of this country to the continental system—(hear, bear) • but why the right boo. gentleman s h ou ld go to the con tinent for his example. he (Mr. Osborne) was at a for to imagine. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman had ad duced as instances France and Prussia, but they all knew that in France the state subsidised all forms of religion, chile in Prussia two forms were aubsidiaed, camel), the Mimeo catholics soil the protestant,. He could not, lemover, see the slightest analogy between Prussia and France and this country. (Hear, hear.) If the state in this country subsidised all forma of religion they woub I have a right to put the question, but that was out done, sod • great proportion of the people of this country repudiated the juriodieelon of the government in sp, rated matters. (Hear, hear.) The right host gentle man ha.l.lrawn his illustrations from continental states, but why hail he not adduced America whose institutions. laannen. and customs, were more cougenial with those of England than were those of any other country. Yet in the report of the last .linerican census it was stated that any iaqutry into the religious persuasions of the population could not ho' con.t.ietoil some], and it ought to be, se it had berm, reversed. (Hear, hear.) Then it would appear that se far from their brethren in America taking the OSUMI as they did iu France and Prussia, they took it ae it mistakes in this country in I:451. They evidently went epos the basis that no man bail a right to inquire into the religious opinions of another, and it was upon that ground that be (M, I aihorne) resisted this meat mischievous proposition of the government. He wished that the right hon. gentlemen had *ravel the question not upon the ground of sentiment bet upon principle, and still more that he had not travelled berried the subject in order to impugn the statistics of Veil. It in happened that when in 1814, the present Prime Minister, who was then Home Secretary, was questiooed as to how far the census could he relied upon, has answer was that he had no reason to doubt the accuracy 1 the returns. The right hon. gentleman the prompt Home Se rrotary now turned round and said those returns were act to be relied on. Sir O. C. LEWIS said he did not dispute the accuracy of the returns, but he disputed the accuracy of the method by which they were taken. (Hear.) Mr. tkiIICHISE continued—lf the right hoe. gentleman slid out dispute the accuracy of the returns why was he not sow satisfied with them! (Hew, hear.) He (Mr. Osborne) objected to this clause in the ceases bill ; in the lust place, es the ground that it was an infringement of rehgious liberty ; soil, secondly, that it would prove a fiction in re. fereoce to statistical f acto. (Hear, hear.) He also thought the state had no to inquire into the religious opinions of men whom they did not pay or assist in any way, sod who repudiated their spiritual jurisdiction. Lastly, he opposed the clause because he did not think it was either wre or politic in any government to arouse such sectarian differeoces &mon the population es would be the result of the passing of this clause in the form in which it DOW stoot (Hear, hear I Mr. HENLEY was of opinion that the house ought to Mein some assurance at the bands of the government after the sailowareateat which had been made, that "religious prehesione" would be omitted from the bill, that no other =megweedd he taken ender the bill for the purpose of in atizspeeies of inquiry into the rustler in the mode wath erimed the renew M act of I. dr G.

Mr. HENLEY said he was slid to receive that mairance from the right hon. gentleman. He (Mr. Henley) had never besot any of his religiose' Mends express an opinion that they desired such a maims to be taken. He believed that churchmen did not care whether it was taken or not, but they thought that if any ramous census were taken this was the proper mode in which to take it. (Hear, hear.) No doubt the nocesonformist body would be pleased with the plum which the right hon. gentleman the Home Secretary had given them to swallow, and as it had taken thirty years to remove the prejudices of the Mambo:ins and Hinder of India they should suppose, arguing from onaloxy, that it would take the same time to remove the scruples of the eon. cooformista, if soy such there remained. (Laughter.) He hoped that aa the government had shown consideration for the religious wielda of one section of the community they would exhibit the ems consideration for the feelings of a large lioiy of the people when the question of education was brieight before the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M A RSH said that the necessity which existed fora reinrieus , ensue in Australia iliil not prevail in this cattily. In Australia the suns voted for religious purposes wee di vided amongst the different creeds in proportion to their "lumbers ; but that was not the case at home, where a reli gious census would secure no other object than the gratiLai. Nun of an idle curiosity ; in addition to which such statistics wo aid Is• of no practical value, except to enable sonic statis to,l member of the British Association to form an erroneous conclusion as to the spread of the established church. Lord R. 4 `WI L said he was not surprised at the course elvish the right hon. baronet the Home Secretary had taken in reference to the notion. He del not think the nght hon. gentleman could have done otherwise, but if • religious resins could Dot be secured, the discussion had at all events completely upset the false returns of liffil, and the false inferences drawn front them. They sow knew that it was churchmen who wanted facts, and that the dis sembles did not. (" Heir, bear," and " no.") He re patted that that was the result of the discussion. became as, when they asked a lady her age, and she decked to give it, they knew what to infer from the denial ; so in like manner they knew what to think when the dissenters refused to have a religious census taken of their numbers. Itr. E. JAMES observed that the speech of the Home Secretary was more the speech of a philosopher than of a Matesenan. He declined to awn' the question of sentiment nn principle, and was full of aneerings sail cynical obeerva tioas upon the objections of religious bodies to the census, though he had not the courage to oppose them. It appeared as though the right hon. gentleman were willing to wound but yet afraid to strike—(hear, hear)—and he was certain that if the proposition had come from the COG servativea, capital would have been endeavoured to be made out of the cry of religions liberty. Every person weak rejoice that the obnoxious clause was withdrawn. not withstanding that it bad been withdrawn in a most ungra ciom manner. ;.tTE objected to the opinion which had been freely expressed in the debate, that the leslature had nothing to do with religion. That had never been true in this country, and he hoped it never would be. The example ad the United States had been referred to, but in the United Stake there was no state church, nor did the present &midi ism of that country invite the imitation of England. He be lieved the returns of 1851 to be entirely lanai:lona, and he thought the dissenting Laxly hod acted very arbitrarily ie denying their assent to more accurate intim:mania being *guided. Su Y Y. PETO said it was • scarab of deep regret that the Home Secretary had not added to his other acquireinen LA a knowledge of the history of noocooformity, as be wouhl not then have made an. of some of the expressions which be made use of in the course of his six ech. Reference had Imes made to perzerution on account of religious pit, femme in Austria. He had had 9111710 experleoce of the t:ontinent, and in Austria, which had • concord:A, he found that no on. was allowed to have a protestant servaat. It was assumed sometimes in that house that the Roman ca tholic, alone were persecutors ; but he would refer to a protertaot cocustry in the north of F l ume whiA he had Melted, having some business there in teferecce to some public wurka, and there he found that thirteen remora had been sentenced to imprisonment, and to subsist on bread and water, simply bemuse they hail a like religious profession to his own.

(alkaara.) Mr. CROSSLEY said there was such a 1112 g 'edam the right thing, and doing it with a good pees ; but he could not ecogritulate the Home Secretary oe doing tee right thing with a good grace. The right hon. baronet said they had a right to inquire what was a man's religions erofes non, but they had DO right to inquire bow he carried tt out. He (Mr. Criendev) thoeijht if they had the right to inquire the profroion, Cher had a right to see whether it were car ried out. He did not am why they should object to the same course being pursued that was pursued in 1851. Sir J. TRELAM NY objected to persons being required to state their religious opinions, on the ground that die. abilities might follow. It was desirable that information of this kind should be obtained for the purpose of logis. , !Attie°, and he did not see why they should not obtain it in the same manner as in America, where instructions were ' given to the marshal, that on . taking the census be should, under the head of religion, insert a separate account of churches and other places of worship, the number of sit. tinge, and the number of the place would accommo date. In this way all the information that was essential was obtained, without mildew persons what wu their religious professioe. Mr. M. MILNES said he rose for the purpose of ex. pressing a hope that, notwithstanding the over-learned, but wisps not over-lively, speech of his right hon. friend (Sir G. C. Lewis), the great dissenting bodies would rightly understand the spirit in which these words were proposed and the spirit in which they were withdrawn. He trusted that no large body of persons in the country would feel that the words were inserted on any other ground than that of public utility. Surely it could not be said that the neces sity and desire for this information were new when the whole of our educational system was founded on a denomi national Livia, and when grants for education depended entirely on the fact of there being large dissenting bodies who proclaimed themselves as such, and as such received government assistance. He could not sympathime with the feeling that would iodate a man to dechne to state his religious profession, because he believed England to be the most religious country in the world, and religions pro fession was perfectly consistent with the spirit of this coun try. Allusion had been made to the time when religious opinion carried with it civil disability, but it was seen io other times that the English people were the first to conic forward in the great cause of religious freedom, and he looked upon it rather as a proof of the decline of that feeling when there was au unwillingness on the part of any body of men to state their religious pmfession. At the same time he thought that in the face of this opposition government had done wisely in withdrawing the clause. Mr. MONSELL sincerely trusted that as regarded Ire land, government would adopt the cause which they had intended to adept as regarded England. The difficulty which existed in England with regard to a religious census did not exist in frees& and he for one thought it important that they ahead have correct religious statistics. What was the nal waft of this opposition . it was from a conviction, ameeimilem so doubt, that the floating mass ci the week' be put down as belonging to the church of In Ireland every body had a religion of some sad nobody WAS 'Awned in the least to say what his ala rages was. He entreated her Majesty's government, therefore, not to apply the same principle to Ireland which they were going to apply to England. Mr. CARDWELL was extremely happy to say that since the intention of the government with regard to Ireland was amounted, namely, that they intended to omit from the =tbill the clime in the last which prohibited the ia religious census in Ireland, no objection from say perm led reached the Irish government. On the contrary, se ter es ids alensation went, it was the general desire of the onaley that the census should be taken, and whoa they awes le the Irish bill he should consider whether they shaded imam a clause for better enabling that to be done. Ifir J. PiLICINOTON could not refrain from offering his enegrelnilitlene to her Majesty's govenniieut on the addi -I=l =I they had that day 01 the unanimity and sub whisk prevailed in the riuka of the ministry. • few due sego they had the tbaucellor of the Exchequer turning into open ridicule the stamens et the Prime Minister. This day at the esasaassessmall et their proceedings they had the Secretary of Mate far India presenting a petition couched in thestrougest against this census clause, and ending in a very manner by declaring in emphatic terms his cordial coneur rence in that condemnation ; that was to say, his cooeur rence in the ..oridemnation of a bill, which, ea a member at the cabinet, he must have sanctioned, and which the Secre tary for the Horne Department hail made a strong speech in favour of. With regard to the omission of these words he must express his deep regret that so they were approaching the time when a census was to be ta ken, they were not to ham a census of religious profession. He thought that the pro- testant dissenters of England, and their representatives in the house, would deeply regret the course they had taken in this matter. He had watched their proceedings with astonishment, and he had heard no good reason for the course they had taken. He entirely concur rd in what fell from the Secretary of State for the Home Department. lie was driven to believe that the diameters were afraid of the result ; lie could see no other rational mode of amounting for their conduct. They were afraid they would be aide to appear not so strong as they were made to appear at the last census. He thought that unfairnese wee dose to the church of England by the last census. A return was made of the attendance at 14.00.) places of worship in connexion with the church of England, and 20,01.10 connected with dies seaters, but his belief was, that there were many more than 14,000 places of worship connected with the church et Bas ked. He believed there were 11,000 or 12,000 parities, and they all knew how parishes were divided and sub divided into districts. The number of benefices in we nexion with the church of England he believed to be between 18,000 and 19,000, and therefore if the census only gave a result from 14,000 places, it was a manifest understatement. Every one would agree that a census ought to be rel . ,iable but the last taken was not reliable, and therefore be h ops ) that her Majesty's government would not take another in the same way. He then came to the question whether he should divide the house in support of the clause, and he bed no hesitation in saying that it would lie injudicious to de as. He W 39 not disposed to blame government for the mune they hail take* to-day. Lord PA LM EItSTON thought it could not be fairly and that what his right hon. f ri end (Sir G. C. Lewis) had said in the course of this debate was with an intention to end an insult on the nonconformist body. Any expressions of hie right hon. friend which might be twisted in that wrQ were argureatative illustrations. He entirely ooegotaei with his right hon. friend, and be might say that he air sawearred a the latter portion of the sech of his hen. Need the somber fur Leeds, in thin kin g that the, was a Tahoe sal an usefulness in a religious census. His host friend showed that it was a deniable thing to show the gradual progress of religious opinion. (Haul He did pot agree with him as to the mode by which the information was to be obtained, but he merely concurred with M.l right hon. friend (Sir G. C. Lewis) in the ex pediency of putting in the census of this year the religious profession of each individual. It never occurred to his mind that that was an inquiry which any person would ob ject to. He quite denied that it was an inquiry into the grounds and character of their religious opinions. Asking • person what denomination be belonged to was simply asking him to what d•nomination he belonged, where he wu brought up, where he was and where be intended to be buried. (A married, He must say that he concurred with his right hon, fried that there was not a shadow of reason in the objections urged against the bill. (Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more f.dlacious than the mod e of enumeration adopted in 1451, and he should therefore be very sorry to see it adopted in the present instance. He regretted that the objection to the bill should have been so strongly . taken up by the body of noncoeformista, but under the circumstances he quits concurred that it was desirable the house should agree to the amendment of his hon. friend the member for Leeds, but he must nevertheless, with all respect to the noncon formists, state his opinicia that the expression of their feelings was not borne out by any reason. (Hear, hen-.) The committee had deferred to the feelings of the noncom foredst., although it could not defer to their reasons. Mr. Ys - HITENIDE would like to know what authority the bon. member for Leeds had fur asserting that the church of Christ ought not to be subject to the control of the state. (Mr. Haunts : "In matters of religion.") Then, the dissenters took upon themselves to decide what was a matter of religion. The hon. member hail no authority for saying that the church objected to a census in the shape now propose.(. One important fact in respect to the question raised by the hon. member for Leeds was that one-third of the married women in England were married in churches belonging to the establiahment ; soil another im portant fact was that 18 per cent. of the children of this country were being educated in schools of the established church. but the third and most important fact was, that the dissenters were afraid of a religious census. (Laughter and cheers) ... --....—.. .... . . .. . .. . . Mr. CARDWELL maid that in the present year theybad followed, in regard to the census in Ireland, the rule adopted ie 1860, in consequence of the facility which the presence of the constabulary afforded for obtaining correct returns. Lord J. MANNERS said it had been stated that no body in bylawd objected to the census in Ireland. He should like to know whether there were any protestant dissenters in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) If that were so, how came it that they did nut share in the conscientious scruples to which allnioe bed been made with regard to a religious census? Mr. BAINM said that it was impossible for him to an. rwer the question, as he ma n.k acquainted with the dia. seining bud, in Ireland. Mr. DAWSON supported the bill. Sir C. DOUGLAS approved of the course taken by the /overeat. (Loud cries of " Divide.") The amendment was then agrees: Mr. CHILDERS lowed the insertion of the word " anion." _ Sir 17 C., LIWIS objected to the amendment. SirJ. TULAWNY moved at an amendment that a _ -- account ahogid be iiren of all places in which education W. imperial to Tooth. sir i C. LEIWN said that the information in question 1114 Areil.hr tarnished by other and more authentic means. tie nekt therefore olq.xt to the amendment. Altera tow wo: ds tram Mr. ADDERLEY in support of the ameadawat, Lord J. MANNERithou;ht, that as there was not to be a reliion. cenois, there ought not to he an oluoitional one. The areerulment was then Peptised, and clause 4 wan Waal to. On clew* ti. Mr. CAIRO moved the insertion, after the word tho words "with particulars u to the amadisiii user having windows In each dwelling-house." No selditkael trouble would be given to the enumeraton by this inquiry. Sir G. C. LEWIS was not aware that any houses in this country had dark rooms. (laughter.) He thought the Pr =t W quite " ved, and neceerry ihe rest of the bill was agreed to. Mr. CAIRD said he would withdraw his motion to insert • dense for obtaining agricultural statistics. At the same time, he must state that the census (which would cost 150,0001.) would not be worth the expense it would entail. Mr. BAINES moved the following clause :—" The Secretary of State shall, so far ss is practicable, cause in quiry to be made and returns to be obtained of all places of worship, schools, and educational establishments, similar to those obtained in the census of 1851, under the heads of ' Public Worship' and • Education.'" The clause was segatived without a division. Mr. BLACKBURN hoped that the religious clause which had bees withdrawn from the English bill would be intro duced into the Scotch. Mr. CAIRD said that such a clause would be considered very objecticaable by the dissenters in that country. Sir G. LEWIS observed the Lord-Advocate would very shortly being in the bill, and would then state what course the government would pursue with regard to the point in question. The house then resumed. CENSUS (IRELAND) RILL The house went into committee on this WE. In clause 3, the words "Bth of April" were substituted for the " let of March." Mr. MONSELL moved to insert the words " religious profession." Mr. HADraLD observed that the words did not appear in the bill of 1850. P The riioticnirasaipned to. In answer to Mr. Mums, Mr. CARDWELL stated that the question am to educa tion would be the same as in the scheduled 1851. On clause 6, Mr. BUTT moved to strike out the works " shall be di- rected by the said instructions or." He ol4setal to give the Irish government the vague and inquintoriel powers which would be conferred upon it by these weds. The words were omitted. The rest of the bill waa then weed to. CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION ACT (1850 AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was withdrawn. ICETEOitaiitLGICAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL. Sir J. SHELLEY having moved the committal of this bill, Mr. MILLER moved as an amendment that it be com mitted that day three months. No corporate body in the country possessed the power which was proposed to be given by the me sure, that namely of raising mousy by rates for the purpose of promoting measures before parlia ment. It also proposed to give certain parties power to im pose rotes which other people would have to pay. Sir J. SHELLEY briefly defended the bill, the object of which he said was really to carry out the principle of local self-government. All the vestries in London (except one) had petitioned in its favour, and its only opponents were gas companies. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CLAY rid that if the vestries were in favour of it they were very negligent of their own interests. (Cheers.) Mr. HENLEY, as a ratepayer of London, looked upon the bill with the greatest alarm ; but the right hon. gentle man was interrupted by the erwakra at a quarter before six, and the debate stood adjourned.

Yesterday a conference of gentlemen from all = o f the country was held at the King's Arras Hotel, Westminster, "to consider what further action ma - desirable to obtain a full andoomplete revo cation of the late unconstitutional decision of the House of Lords." Mr. W. HiteIMAMS presided in the abeenos of Mr. White, who was prevented from attending by his en gagements in connexion with the representation of Brighton. Amongst those present were Alderman itylande and Alderman Cartwright, of Warrington ; Alderman Towle, of Oxford ; Mx. J. Knight, of Ipswich ; Councillor Scott, of Rochdale ; Mr. B. Armitage, of Manchester; the Rev. Mr. Griffiths, of Derby ; Mows. S. Cooke and W. W. Miller, of Dudley ; Mr. W. Chadwick, of Doncaster • Mr. W. Green, of Horsham • Mr. T. Dunn, of Reigate ; Doncaster ; A. Braider', Ulverstons, Mr. D. Homewood, of Benison ; Captain Sal .mot F.gbata ; Mr. E. Clarks, of Welthamidow ; Mr. J. T Mr. C. K. Rawlins, of )177k..* of P.

Gordon, S. Laces, R. Y. Macnamara, T. B. Bertolseei, Lieut.-Colonel Towashend Wilson, H. G. Oolehrooke, J. G. Crawford, C. Renard, W. Leverson, and others. Letters of apology for absence, but expressing sympathy with the objects of the meeting, were reed from Mr. O. Robertson, of Liverpool, and numerous other gentlemen from different part of the country; and resolutions by the Hondorth Reform Committee, the Rochdale 1 1 = 1 - tutional Defence Committee, and the St. Michael's Reform Assodatica ef Manchester, in rapport of the objects of the meeting, were also annou nced. The HAMMAN drew attention to the importance of the question which they were assembled to consider, observing that even the enormity of a tax upon knowledge was lost sight of in the defence of the constitutional right of the House of Commons and in the opposition of the people to the principle of taxation without representation. It was not only tyranny, but downright plunder on the most gigantic oak, that the Lords were attempting, and he believed that there had been collusion between the Premier and come of the members of the Upper House to throw out the Paper Duty Bill. Alderman Rniceris proposed the test resolution, to the effect —" That the House of Commons having affirmed, by reaohdimi, that it rest with itself to impose or repeal taxes, in the opinion of this meeting that house would be degraded by giving assent to the base policy of inaction sug gested by Lord Prdnienton—apolicytendingto the surrender of the dearest righta of the people, and one which ought to be denounced as an act of treason against the constitution." He said that the resolutions of Lord Palmerston were in tended as a mere sham ; but while they must condemn the conduct of the Premier in reference to this question, they must admire the course which the Chancellor of the Exche quer bad taken. They might, from the words of the right hon. gentleman, indulge the hope that he would take sides with the great liberal party in the House of Commons in such • way as to obtain a reversal of the decision to which the Lords had come. Let Mr. Glarlikee, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Bright, and others of the independent members resolve upon taking a distinct course of action, even at the risk of the overthrow of the government, and they would sound a key note which would at least obtain a very large minority in the House of Commons, and be • basis of very effective action by the people throughout the country. At all emote it weal have the effect of punishing the arch traitor in this matter. (Cheers.) Mr. Councillor SCOTT, of Rochdale, in seconding the re solution, said it had been under discussion in the towu from which he came what the use of the House of Peers was at all ; and certainly the course their lordships had taken in regard to the paper duty bad done that branch of the legis lature a great deal of injury in public estimation. The resolution wee carried unanimously. Alderman TowLg moved, "That no government is de serving the support of the liberal party Chet is not prepared to vindicate the privileges of the Commons, and to secure the rights of the people; and that it is the duty of every liberal member of parliament to urge upon the government to act up to the sprit of its own resolutions, and, if de feated, to dissolve pariameat sod appeal at once to the country." He stated that he, as • paper nianutacturer, was quite ready to refuse payment of duty with a view to test its legality. The Rev. W. Garrrrrns, of Derby, seconded the resolu tion, which was also carried. Mr. Warfarin= offered to give his services as an attor ney gratuitously to any manufacturer who refused to pay the duty. Lordtrrintsii, Mr. HOLYOAKE, and others subsequently addressed the meeting, and the following resolutions were also adopted: " That this meeting tenders its thanks to the Right Hoe. W. E. Gladstone for his noble defence of the constitutional rights of the House of Common, and relies with confidence on his promise to do everything that is within his power to secure those rights unimpaired. " "That this meeting calls upon every independent mem ber of the House of Commons to use any means that its forms allow to prevent the passing of supplies, or bills for the appropriation of supply, until the aggvession of the Lords has been practically defeated, and their illegal vote rescinded." l)irectious were given to the executive committee to arrange an interview with Mr. Gladstone on the subject, when the right hon. gentleman's health would permit, and the customary vote of thanks having been accorded to the chairman, the meeting separated.

Mb was a motion on behalf of the plaintiff, who is the peblieher of the Post-office Directory of Birmingham, with Woroestershire, Warwickshire, and Staffordshire, welting to restrain the defendant from publishing a book called " The History, Topography, and Directory of Worcestershire," on the ground that it was a piracy of the plaintifrs work. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Tripp appeared in support of the motion. The On the application of Mr. C. Hall, who appeared for the defendant., ordered the motion to stand over to the next seal, the defendant undertaking not to tell his work in the meantime. This was a motion to restrain the defendants from selling any cotton sewing thread under the name of glace, or patent glace thread, or using any labels or trade marks with such worth thereon. The plaintiff claimed the words "glace' thread" or "patent glath thread" by virtue of a patent obtained in 1853, and he alleged that in July, 1855, he Slit discovered that the defendants had been luting the trade marks claimed by him. The bill was only Wed la Jane lest. Mr. Maims, Q.C. Mr. Elmsley, Q.C., and Mr. W. Morris railin support of the motion ; and Mr. Bacon , q.c., Q.C., and Mr. Hetherington for the defendants. The Vice-Ch anc ellor said that as the plaintiff, had so long known that the defendants were infringing his patents, and had so long delayed applying to the court, he must establish his right at law, and ordered the motion to stand over, with liberty for the plaintiff to bring an action at law. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.) BE THE EAGLES MWYN MINING COMPANY. This was a motion on behalf of the official liquidator of this company that Mr. James Beare Alexander be com mitted to the Queen's Prison, or that he be ordered to ap pear before the Vice-Chancellor and be sworn and exami ned, or before the chief clerk, at hie own expense, or that he Awed committed in default. The motion was made under the following circum. stances :—ln November, 1857, the affairs of the company were wound up under an order. A Mr. Whitehead, who did not question his liability as shareholder, was **ad upon the list of contributories for 260 shares, A call being made, and Mr. Whitehead not responding, be was in Februan last arrested at the suit of the official liquidator. Mr. Whitehead thereupon petitioned the In solvent Court for his discharge. The official liquidator, haying inspected the insolvent's schedule, came to the con clusion that Mr. Whitehead was not in a position in 1858 to purchase the shares for value, and that a bender of 130 shares by Mr. Alexander in that year was a plan devised to amble Alexander to escape liability. Whitehead being ex amined declined giving any information respecting it, and was ultimately discharged from custody. Mr. Alexander being summoned for his attendance before the chief clerk to be examined, he attended on the 23rd April but de clined answering any of the questions put to him as to the circumstances attending the transfer in question. Mr. Rodwell, who appeared for Mr. Alexander, opposed the motion, and argued that it was irregular. The Vice-Chancellor said that there must be a formal cer tificate of default before any order to commit could be made. His Honour thought that the list had not been " wholly set tied,'" so as to determine the power of the court to put upon the list any other person. The order would be for Mr. Alexan der to attend and answer the questions put to him, but as the fint part of the motion had failed Mr. Alexander should not pay any costa Mr. Alexander's examination was fixed for Thursday, 26th instant, before the Vice-Chancellor in chambers. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-JULY 11. (Before Mr. Commiesioner Holroyd.) This was a sitting for the choice of assignees under the bankruptcy of Robert Barker, of Maldon, boot and shoe manufacturer. The bankruptcy took place on the 20th June, on the petition of Yr. William John Barrow, of Aldermanbury, warehouseman. The bankrupt has absconded, and a war rant has been Lamed for his apprehension. The debts are upwards of 1,00 W., due to wholesale houses in the leather trade, and there are no assets. The choice of assignees was adjourned to the examination meeting, which is fixed for the 15th of August, when, if bankrupt does not surrender, he will be outlawed. This wax a dividend meeting under the bankruptcy , of John Bagzhaw, formerly M.P. for Harwich, and also three. tor of the Eastern Counties and other railway and public win Z ai Linklater, for the assignees. asked that the dividend meeting should be adjourned. Mr. Bagshaw was connected with the Lake Bathurst Gold Mining Company, which was now being wound up under an order made by the Court of Chancery. The meeting was then adjourned sine die. II W. P. HAMMOND. This was also a dividend meeting. The bankrupt was a ship owner, of Bush-lane, Cannon-street. Mr. Linklater asked that the dividend meeting should be adjourned. He had ineffectually endeavoured to arrange with 30 or 40 part owners in vessels. The adjustment of the question would affect claims to the extent of 25,0001. The debts and liabilities were 70,0001. to 80,0001., and as there was only 3,500/. in hand, he proposed the adjourn ment. . . 7. 44 ;adjourarneut took place accordingly. (Before Mr. Gommitaiouer Goulburn.) El ALLEN. This was an application for certificate by John Allen, of Broadway, Deptford, and Grey Eagle-street, Spitalfields, boot and shoe manufacturer. . Mr. Mote, for the anaig;ees •• , opposed on the ground that there had been an absence of proper book-keeping, dealing in accommodation bills, opening fresh accounts when in a state of insolvency, reckless trading, and giving afraudulent preference to creditors when in an insolvent state. After hearing Mr. Bagley for the bankrupt, The Commissioner acquitted the bankrupt of fraud, but said he had sinned deeply in other respects. He suspended the certificate (third den) for 18 months from the date of the petition, but granted protection from arrest execution, bad been put into her house upon bills which had been accepted in her name, but which were forgeries ; but she said she settled them m order to avoid the comempleness which she knew must have smelted to her son if there bad been any exposure. Several other witnesses were examined on behalf of the defendant, and they expressed a positive belief that the acceptances to the bills is question were not her handwriting. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, in summing up, said it was quite clear that there must be wicked and deliberate per jury on one side or the other, and the jury would have to say on which side that perjury bail been committed. He then celled the attention of the jury to all the facts, and placed the different document* in their hands. The jury, atter a short deliberation, returned • verdict for the defendant. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—NosnumproN, JvLy 11. The commission wea opened here this afternoon by Mr. Justice Wigbtman. The calendar is a light one, as the quarter sessions were held only a week ago. It contains the names of fourteen prisoners, of whom one is charged with munler, one with arson, One with night poaching, one with burglary, three with highway robbery, and the rest with minor offences. There is also a remanet from the Spring Assize, in which a gentleman is charged with bribery at the last general election.

(Before Mr. Justice Hill.) Henry JoseyA Smith, 26, a corn factor, of very respect. able appearance, was indicted for having fraudulently con ertal to his own use eight quarter' of barley (be being bailee thereof), the property of William Baker, of Wtrightotr. Wilts, in the month of March last. Mr7H. James was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. J. 0. Griffita appeared for the defence. The prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Justice Hill said it was of the highest importance that confidence should be maintained in the transactions of this great commercial country, and he regretted seeing a person of such apparent respectability in a position of such degradation. His lordship then sentenced the prisoner to eight months' hard labour. The prisoner, who evinced great anxiety during the trial, and wept bitterly on the verdict being given against him, was removed from the dock. The sssiree term inated ;bout noon, and both the learned fudges afterwards rode on horseback into arionl, to open the commission in that city. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—Yoss, JULY 11. ND!'

Joseph Coeburn, 33, Benjamin Clarkson, 41, John Routh, 25, and Richard Ridgirdl, 35, were charged with shooting at John Asquith, with intent to murder him or do him some grievous bodily harm, at Featherstone, on the sth of April last Mr. Seymour and Mr. Searle were for the prosecution ; the pr son's had no counsel. The prosecutor is a labouring man in the service of his uncle, Mr. Charles Wrightman, at Featherstone. On the night of the sth of April b ut, he was returning home from Normantou, when be saw the four pri soners loitering about near to his uncle's prem ises. Being corivine, by their appearance and movements, that they had no honest object in view, the prosecutor secreted himself, in order to watch their proceedings Whilst screened from observation the prosecutor saw the prisoners enter the fold-yard. Two of them placed a ladder against the pigeon -cote, and subsequently they stole a number of pigeons. The prosecutor then entered the house and made an alarm, when Mr. Wrightman and other persons on the premises were instantly in readiness for the purpose of pursuing the prisoners, who were then in the act of effect ing their escape. The prosecutor was armed with a gun loaded with powder only, and he soon came within fifteen or twenty yards of the prisoners. He called upon them to atop, and threatened that if they did not comply he would fire upon them. The prisoners turned roun d , and Clark son, who had a gun charged with powder and shot, fired the contents at the tor,who was consequently wounded in the mouth, shot also entered other parts of his per non. The prosecutor was disabled, and the prisoners made good their retreat, leaving behind them a hag containing 60 pigeons. The prosecutor was under surgical treatment for some time, being severely injured. The prisoner' were further charged with stealing the pigeons, to which three of them pleaded guilty. Routh denied that he was guilty, but he was not tried upon this charge. I The jury found all the prisoners Guilty of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Previous convictions were proved against Cowburn, Routh, and Ridgwell. His lordship sentenced the whole of the prisoners to 15 ' years' penal servitude.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOKE CIRCUIT.—HisTrolur, Jot: 11. The commie ion for the county of Berta was opened fa this town by Mr. Justice Blackburn es Tuesday, and yes terday morning both courta proceeded to lisabuse, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn presiding on the civil side, and Mr. Justice Blackburn in the Crown Court. There are very :ew peisocere for trial, but three of them arc charged with murder. This case is fixed for Thursday morning, and Mr. Justice Blackburn disposed of all the other prisoners, and was engaged part of the day in trying civil camas. On the civil side 15 causes are entered, fourteen common and one special jury cause. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) This was an action upon two bills of exchange, one for 50/. and the other for Wt., alleged to have been accepted by the defendant, who pleaded that the acceptances were for geries. Serjeant Petersdorff and Mr. Woollett were for the plain tiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Butler Rigby were for the defendant. - This case was of rather a singular character. The plaintiff, Thomas Griffin Philpott, appeared to be the managing clerk to an attorney, and he sued the defendant upon the two bills in question, which were drawn by her son, • person named Reid, who was formerly • major in the Spanish ser vice, and purported to be accepted by the defendant. The case on the part of the plainti ff was that he had discounted the hills for Reid, and that he assured him the acceptances were the genuine signature of his mother, and he also swore that the defendant had acknowledged the sig natures to the bills to he hers, and • letter was produced which wee represented to have been written by the defen- dant from Brighton, in answer to an application that had, teen made to her shunt the bills, and which amounted to an admission that she had accepted them. The only addi tional evidence to show that the signatures to the bills were genuine was that of a gentleman who had formerly acted as attorney fur the defendant, and whose evidence was stated to have Leen obtained by accident, and who expressed • belief that the handwriting was like that of the defendant, but he was far from expelling soothing like • positive opinion upon the subject. The plaintiff, in the course of his cross-examination by Mr. Hawkins, said that be had formerly practised as ao attorney, but was convicted of perjury, and sentenced to 12 months' im prisonment, and be was in consequence struck off the rolls. It also appeared that the rate of discount charged on the bills was 150 per cent. The defence to the action was that the acceptances were forgeries, and that the evidence that had been given on the part of the plaintiff as to the admissions that had been made was utterly false. The defendant herself, an aged sod apparently most respectable lady, was examined, and she swore that she never accepted the bills in quaition, and also declared in the meet positive manner that the letter which was said to have been sent tram Brighton by her was a forgery, and she knew nothing whatever about it. She said that her son, Major Reid, had gut her into a great deal of trouble in connexion with bills, and that two CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) (Continued from yesterday s Express.) Eliza Harriett Mary Pellhamt, a well-dressed woman, surrendered to take her trial upon an indictment charging her with stealing four doyleys and a pair of mittens, the property of Sir Robert PeeL Lady Emily Peel was examined, and mid that she had a stall at the fair. She remembered the officer bringing back the doyleys produced. They had been on her stall about an hour and a half before ; she had then pinned them higher up on the stall. The mittens were like those on her 'MIL By Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—Sorne articles had fallen from my stall before. I found them. There were things of greater value at my stall. It is nut at my desire this per son is prosecuted. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, in a most energetic address, con tended that the story told by the police was without truth, and contended that his client had found the things, and that the police had for their own purposes made the charge of theft. _ tl The learnedjadge in summing up, left it for the jury to say whether the police were to be credited. The jury then retired, and coming into court shortly before seven, said there was no chance of their agreeing, some being of opinion that the prisoner had picked up the things. His lordship told them that even then if she had not en deavoured to find to whom they belonsed that was larceny. The jury found her GviltN, recommending her to mercy, in which the prosecution joined. His lordship sentenced her to six months imprisonment in Newgete. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE WiUirtmi Silk and John Knight were charged, Silk with stealing, and Knight with receiving with a guilty knowl, a quantity of milk, sender circumstances throwing some light on the adulteration of that article in the metropolis. The prisoner Silk, who is a airman in the employ of Mr. Wills, a dairyman, in Percival-street, ClerkenweD, was seen by George Mullineaux, a detective police constable, between 6 and 7 o'clock that morning, to stop a cart belonging to his master, which he was driving, and to which were two large tin vessels containing milk, rat the corner of Cutler-street, Houndsditch, and to take from owed the cans six measures, of two quarts each, of milk, and pour it into another can. A few minutes afterwards . the prisoner Knight drove up in a cart, which he stopped alongside that of Silk, and handed a pail from his own cart containing a dark liquid mixture, to Bilk, who poured its contents into the ea from which he had previously taken the six melt ' sures, or twelve quarts; of nulk. They then both drove round the corner into Aldgste, where Silk got out of his cart and handed to Knight the pail—filled now with milk—which Knight had just before passed to Silk contain ing the "dark liquid mixture." Silk then drove away, and Knight was abous to do the same, when Mullineaux stopped him, saying he was a police-officer, and asked him what he had got in the pail. Knight replied " litllk," which he had bought from the man in the other cart, but had not paid for. The officer shortly afterunirds found Silk delivering one of the large cans of milk in Jewry-street, at Messrs. Hill and Jones's, large wholesale confectioners, who have also a shop in Bishopagate-street, and took him into custody for stailing milk belonging to his master, • him at the same time that Knight had been given in c age. Silk replied that he had neither sold nor given milk to any man. When Knight was taken to the police elation he sought to excuse himself by saying that he was short of milk at the time, and that he hail authority from his master, who was a dairyuian, to buy it wherever he could get it. [Sir It. Carden remarked that he could scarcely have said he was short of water.] It appeared further in evidence that Silk had to deliver every morning two large cans of milk, one containing sixty quarts, the other about fifty, at the ' two warehouser of Meseta. Hill and Jones, and that he was ou that errand when the transaction took place to which Mullineaux spoke. A man in the employ of Hill and Jones deposed that on the previous morning he saw Silk stop his milk art in Camomile-street, and, getting out, take an empty pail up a yard in which there was a tank, and return with it filled with water. Getting into his cart again with the pail, be drove into Bevis Marks, thence into Castle-street, where he poured some milk from a full can into an empty one, sod then poured the water from the pail into the can from which he had just taken the milk. A woman who appeared from her manner to he acquainted with Silk, passed by at that moment, and going up to Silk told him he was watched. Silk asked by whom The woman replied by a man round the corner. Witness then made elf, but a few minutes afterwards he saw the carte of the two prisoners standing in front of a tavern near Aldgate church. He had frequently seen them together for the last fortnight. The prisoner Silk declined to say anything in his defenee, and Knight , under the (Asia) of Mr. Heard, who appeared for him, reserved what he had to say in explanation of his share in the transaction until another occasion. Sir lt. Carlini remarked that the case was one of public interest, as showing how in London an article of universal domestic consumption was systernatiailly adulterated by unprincipled person. like the prisoners, and he committed them for trial, refusing to take hail. GUILDHALL. William Paver and John. Nicholls, a couple of despera does, who, although associated in the dock upon similar charges with respect to the same property, had not, it ap peared, any previous acquaintance, were brought up under the following circumstances. The Rev. Peter Daley, of Galway, said be was passing through Fleetetreet, when he felt something unusual at his pocket, and at the same instant his friend, Dr. Gray, of Dublin, who was with him, seized the prisoner Pwiger , whose movements were of a very suspicious character. Dr. Gray searched the prisoner, who threw open his jacket and waistcoat in a mannerexpreesive of his entire innocence with regard to the possession of any stolen property, and ultimately found the handkerchief which the rev. gentleman had lost in the prisoner's trousers. He received his handkerchief from Dr. Gray and put it into his pocket, and while pro ceeding to the police station to prefer the charge aga ins t rugger, his pocket was again picked of the same handker chief by Nicholls, who was immediately secured by Mr. llorbie, who saw him steal the handkerchief, before he bad time to dispose of it otherwise than by concealing it inside his trousers, in precisely the same way that Purger I had secreted it a few minutes previous. Dr. Gray said, when he secured the prisoner Puoger, he threw open his coat and waistcoat, and requested that he might be searched. He, however. found the handkerchief inside the primmer's t rousers. He held him until the arrival of the officer, and then gave him into custody, and followed with the Rev. Mr. Daley to the police station. Mr. Serbia said he was standing near the entrance to the station, when he saw a crowd approaching. He noticed the prisoner Purger in custody, and almost at the same moment law the prisoner Nicholls put his hand into the Rev. Mr. Daley's pocket, and draw out a handkerchief which he ill'. mechately slip ped inside the front of his trousers. He instantlyca t hold of him, the handkerchief was found concealed in is trousers, and he was given into custody. The officer said as he approached the station the prisoner became very violent and assaulted him in a very ferocious manner. Dr. Gray and the Rev. Mr. Daley said they were about returning to Ireland in a few days. and therefore wished that the prisoner should be dealt with sununarely. Alderman Lawrence said the rev. gentleman was very fortunate in recovering his handkerchief after it had been twice stolen from him, and if he had resided in London the prisoners would most certainly have been tried at the Old Bailey for the offence they were charged with. He then sentenced the pawners to three months' imprisonment each,wrth hard labour, as rogues and vagabonds, and ordered Punger, ►t the expiration of that period, to be again corn. nutted to prison for one month, for the assault on the policeman.
