Theban was assented to by the late Lord euinee'dor and all the law lords. A few of the provisions it tire cow oiled were objected to, bid Olio it had gone • select eminence the,- all lc , ' tiesced h a it. Tao whole of the principle of the bill might Iw said ' • in the first and mooed cloises. The tir.t clause pro-1 • th it a .thin the metropolitaii district no harge should' be pictei ic•li4ainst a person behind hie back by iomginthe Int I..staiem before a greed jury, but thaw should be made babe , a niegistrate. The second clause provided that where • thirge Lod been investigated before a magistrate it should me lougcr Le ueixcary to go to the grand jury. Another 'tome to the bill provided that nothing in the bill should *stead to charges of treason or mispr:sioo of treason or sedition. It hail been truly said that the grand jury totem hail been of greet protection to the subject against the ',Jeer of the crown. No one felt that more strongly than he did, and if there were any thing in the bill to take away that protection be slionld not move the soPeed reading. By ilia bill the grand jury system would be presser...l in the cowitry districts ; sat in the metropolis so be as regarded political offences. Those who looked back to the origin of the grand jury system would see that it Wes intreducel at • time and under cirtunixtances which Mno loner applicable to the present time, or to the wend date of things in the metropolis, though it might be very advantageous to keep it on foot in other parte o: kingdom. Fifteen years ago or rather more the Criminal low Comniiesiosers considered this subject. They directed "tedious to be pat to a vast number of persona, judges, ' soigistraka, barristers, recorders, solicitors. and persons with the practice of the criminal law ; and there was hardly owe of the thawing which did not amount to this, that in the metropolitan district the grand jury system was is almost all eases superfluous, except in poli tical cases, and is many cads very mischievous. One of those who gave an opinion at that time was the late Lord Denim's, who referred to as ankle in the EiGiiberya af , iti", which, be said, cootained an opinion be had formed OWN years before, that no benefits were prodnal by the ✓eed jury system but the co-operatioo of the higher sad twiddle classes in the administration of justice. Is 1144 ii a presentment Ives made by the grand jury at the Middlesex Sessions, in which they stated that w their ex perience greed juries in the metropolitan district were • poetive impediment to the adminetration of stice, asd they west on with these significant words, "t hough they VIM perfectly aware that the court bad no power to accord them any relief, and that it was only by reiterated repro. imitations that any cousideretion could bee:psi:tea from the Inisdature, they were the wore induced to this step from a emeidemtiou of the nature of the costa which occupied the Sims of the jury, cases of so frivolous • character that the intervention of a greed jury seemed to have no possible jest lest the detention of the premiere sod the lengthening • ths proosediugs of the court, and dal not as far as they oeseelved tend to any possible good."

Many of the arguments advanced by tin right hon. gentleman in support of this bill were equally valid fur the abolition of grand juries iu other parts of the country. The right hon. member said he excepted political offences, but them offences were not define d, and they all knew that a man Might be indicted for what was really a political offence, while technically it did not appear to be so.

The plaintiff in this ease was an advertisement agent, and he sued six gentlemen who were to be directors of a limited liability company which was about to be formed, called the National Freehold Cemetery Company, and the claim was for till!, for advertising the company, kc. It appeared that Colonel Moore, an American, was the ori ginal promoter of the company, and that be gave orders for the advertisements, and without any express authority from the defendants. Various circumstances however were deposed to, to show that there was implied authority—such for instance as that the defendents attended meetings of the company, and papers with the advertisements in them were planed upon the table, and thus brought to their knowledge. There was also a minute put in, and one of the entries contained these words, "and immediately advertise," as a direction what should be done. On the other hand, the genuineness of this entry was questioned, and it was distinctly stated that there was ea arrangement that the gentlemen who had consented to act as directors during the formation of the company should sot be liable for the expenses, and that Colossi Moore was alone to be responsible. There was also some evidence to show that the plaintiff knew that this state of things existed. The jury found a verdict for the defendants, and His Lordship directed that the minute should remain in the hands of the officer of the court. SECOND COURT.

This was as action brought by the plaintiffs, John &inlay sad James Davenport Mantua. against Joseph Cunard, Henry Arrowarnith, Wm. Lamb Arrowsmith, and Wm. Goodman Gailiff, to recover principal and interest of 6601. 10s. on a bill of exchange endorsed to the plaintiffs, drawn by the defendants, and accepted by one John Lamb, Mr. Diann and Mr. Robinson were counsel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Stammers repre sented the defendant Cunard, and Mr. Honyman, with whom was Mr. Watkyn Williams, appeared for the three other defendatta. The defendant., who, it was stated, are not connected with the firm which has given its mme to the well known Cunard line, carry business as shipping agents at Liver. pool, and at 32, Willlain.strest, City, the London de partment being co nducted by the Messrs. Arrowsmith and Oalliff. In September 1880, lb. Willhm Arrowsmith told Mr. lamb that his brother Henry, who was in Italy, had been commissioned by Garibalili to purchase arms and munitions of war for his expedition, and an arrangement was entered into with the view of •joint speculation between Lamb and the firm of the defendants. Mr. lamb accord ingly purchased from Messrs. Barnett, of the 3f inories, who bad bought them at the sale of the East India House, 12,000 muskets at 17.. each, and as the Mears. Barnett would not part with them without ready money it wee agreed that they should mud them out in the care of their own super cargo by the Helium frigate, chartered by the defendants for the conveyance of 600 Oaribeldian volunteers to the southern put of Italy. This transaction having been so settled, Mr. Henry Arrowamith applied to Mr. Lambfor his accommodation acceptance of 90a, on the ground that large business transactions had occupied their capital, and which be undertook to meat at maturity. This he did, sad them applied to Mr. Lamb for another acceptance of 8351. Is., which he gave OD the Bth of Dee., 1860, and which fell due March 21, 1861. The defendants, a few days before it fell due, said they could only wraps together 1001. towards the Lill, which had boos paid into the Loudon Beak, and which would not renew it. The cashier of the beak, on being applied to by Mr. Arrowsmith and Mr. Lamb, consented to take a new bill at a month for 5001., if 33N. 75., the balance of the 8351. 75., were paid down. Them were terms the defendants could not accede to, and Mr. Lamb applied to Mr. Sunley (of the firm of Smiley and Maughan), who was his oldest friend, for smir team. Mr. Bailey saw Mr. Arrowsmith, who proposed to give Mr. Smiley his ammo for 501., to be held over far a week, if he would &drams the amount then, and to draw on Lamb for 1361. 7s. at a month, if Mr. Smiley would mob the bill, so me to enable him with the money at his owe oommand to with the bank. This was done, bat the defendants neit paid the bill f0r1351. 7s. nor the 5001. billgiven to the London Bank, who put in a distringss on the balance lying to Mr. Lamb's account at Mesas. Han key's.

Jihad been ssoertaiued in December that the muskets had been mid to the Gaiibridisns at a surplus profit of 3,200/., the sham of which, deducting the freight claimed by Mr. Lamb, was 1,1061. The substantial defence on the park of Mr. Cunard was, that be was not bound by this speculation of his copartners, and all the defendants relied on the fact that there had Dot been an endorsement of the bill by the bank to the plain. tiffs, so as to enable them to sue. The learned counsel having addressed the jury for their respective clients, His lordship summed up, and The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JOLT 3. SILL V. ITILL.--NITILLORDINAIT APPLICATION. In this case Mr. Charles Willoughby Hill had petitioned for a divorce from his wife on account of her alleged adul tery with the Rev. J. A. Wood, but inthe coursed the trial the charges against the respondents were disproved. Mrs. Hill then prayed a judicial separation on the ground of her husband's cruelty to her, the main ingredient in which bad been his communicating a disgraceful disease. In this oases a letter from the husband was read in which he expromd his consent to allow a verdict against him, and to pay the alimony he was already paying, with liberty to his wife to apply to the court for an increase of it, if so advised. - - Dr. Tristram now moved for a new trial, and in support of his application he read an affidavit of Mr. Hill, in which be (Mr. Hill) stated that he had only signed the consent on the distinct understandlag that no evideece should be given against him that would be detrimental to his character. net ou the 2Kth ult., while at Boulogne, Le bed read to his great surprise in the papers that hie wife had made statemente spout him which were highly deluipatory to his honour, and he claimed to be allowed to give personal evi deuce in reply, and undertook to convict his said wife of wilful and corrupt petjury. He therefore prayed that there might be a new trial, his consent to the judicial sepa ration having bcuu obtained from him by the treachery of hie attorney. _ _ _ Sir C. Cromwell said there was no ground whatever for the application. This gentleman knew that in the petition he warn charged with cruelty. and he authorised his attorney to consent that • verdict should go against him 00 that ground, supposing that by so oxisenting he should prevent evidence from being given aipikst him before the court. If he did not mean to admit the cruelty be must have bad some Indirect motive for acquiescing in the verdict ; but if he did admit sufficient cruelty to justify k judicial separation, he must take his chance as to the quantum that was proved against Lim. With regard to the decree io this case, he (the learued judge) Lad taken time to consider the effect which he ought to give to the feet of the residence of Mrs. Hill with the respondent at Boulogne after the cruelty charged ; and although there was something • little singular in that residence, he did not think that then:nut wee famed to regard it as condonation so as to deprive the petitioner at her right to • judicial separation.

Ihneell) held itte be the duty of the Foreign-office to ap point them wherever they were likely to be most useful. (Rear, hites) H. did sot think the trade between tire country and Lards was of sufficient importance to justify the gomenesent sendstaining a consul then, but it might be denisable to do so at C r ape Palmas. (Hear, hoar.) The inverement were inquiring into that matter. The Manse et legitimate commerce in driving away the shire WAD wee well worthy of attention. 'rime was at see time a disposition io the HOWN of Commons sad in She comma of the press to put down the slave squadron, but Lad Palmerston and himself had always held the con traltepiaiss. Every attempt bad been mode to iaduce the of Dahomey to ester into as eggs...mot to map pens dams trade, and to put a stv to the annual resomme in hie deneisiene. het hitherto thine effects had been In vela. The appointment of a consul at Mosenthique was under osenidemlies. The Portuguese govesameett Lisboa wen ea" nab eat the eeppirimillen et the slave trade. but their la the data* selliesnents were so mixed up with the Mille that all thel. to do so bad hitherto bees defeated, ow li be ihiok that the establishmest of eousubi at these settlements would do much, if anything, toward' ing the object. The cause would probably be ultimately by the influence of the Portuguese government itself. Nothing could be mid in extenaales of the goodect of Spain in ref IMMO@ to her treaties with this emir, for the suppression of the trailc. The Brazilian geouneeent ger tainly had acted in a praiseworthy manner, bat amid every Spanish racial in Cuba bad grown wealthy by the bribes he had received for the admission of slaves to that island. By our treaties with Spain, Spanish vessels earry lag alarm were liable to capture ; but the American go vernment always maintained that we could not interfere wish her leg, and the efforts of this emistri to gene to as arrangement for preventing the traffic in /mai= vessels had hitherto been in vain. With regard to the anaesat;on of the Republic of Snu Doniago to Spit, although ao doubt a great amount of m had bone used to hrg about the recognition of SpesM 'ova ty, it would hardly be cosaisteet with the well-known of England for her to say that the people d Sas were not entitled to have what form of were. meet y pleased. He understood, however, that the people of Ha ti had no dispomition to give up their republic, sad ir that any interference in that quarter should be very jealously watched. He did not think the government would be justified in going further and in breaking off diplomatic relations with Spain. (Hear, hear.) The deputation then withdrew, and shortly afterwards bad an interview with the Duke of Newcastle at the Colonial-ofiSce. His GRACI, in reply to the statements made to him, said that be had given every instruction to the Governors of British settlements in Africa to do their utmost to enmu• rage native commerce. The growth of cotton was a most important branch of the question, and he hoped that capi talist, would be induoed to enter more warmly into that enterprise. Mr. Bevis, en African merchant, said that merchant, were reluctant to do so ankle their interests were protected by cowls on the spot. The deputation then withdrew. LOYAL COLLEGE OP SURGEONS. The members of the medical profesaion, or more particularly that portion of it represented by the Fellows of the above institution, have been in a state of greet excite ment during the last few weeks, owing to an opposition to the re-election of Messrs.

ReSee, elipsadlery masistrate, sad Capt. Harris, The 4th Airier (Thomas Beikewell) was the Mt wit ness examined. He stated that though he saw the blcok of Ica which must have struck the yawl, be felt no shock. The ice gassed alongside, and he walked sit to nee if the screw was interfered with. It was set injured, but be noticed small pieces el ice with white, and green, and black paint upon them. He escaped an No. 5 boat, which con tained 25 people, but it wee too crowded tow Clifford's lowering apparatus. During the whole crisis themes behaved admirably. —Daniel Lloyd, one of the steerage stewards, heard tho vessel strike when he au in the rieersge store room, and on one of the hatches being marled forward the water was discovered rushing in. The captain gave orders to clear the boats, and witaess seamed in Na 6, which eantsimied 72 adults and one &lid, 13 being women. No. 8 boat Oho one that was lost) was being lowered at the time that Ne. 6 was in the water, and the bostewain of No. 6 fearing that his boat would be swamped by No. 8, called out to the MINI who were lowering the latter to " hold on" until No. ti got clear. No. 6 was then swept astern, and when wittier looked again No. 8 beat was banging (in a perpendi eider poation) from the bow feeble °sly. One man clung to the after tackle, but the rest of the people who were in the boat could not be seen, or were struggling in the water, and afterwards absorbed by the sinking of the ship. The boatswain of the Canadian (George Parker) also saw No. S after No. 6 bad cleared. The boat was then full of and the steru was four feet lower than the bow. pea saw ople, no more until (after the rued had sunk) he saw the boat bottom upwards, with one man clinging to the keel, and holding up another who was in the water. Witness was an old sailor, had often pissed through Hellcate when there was more ice, and frequently earlier than the 4th June. The chief engineer (John Alexander) described the vessel coming in contact with • pies of very bard and green ice, stated that the collision must have taken place when the vessel's head was lifted by • sea, and was of opinion that the propulsion of the ship against this mama of sharp is canoed the ripping of her side to an extant which must have admitted an immense quantity of water. Every engineering and other means ponible was used to keep the vessel afloat as long as possible. The men in the engineer lag department did not leave their posts until they wore on deck and to the boats. "Sara Robert Nicol, the carpenter, was also examined. Mr. W. Wallace, the company's superintending engineer, said that the Canadian was built more strongly than other al the company's ships, and was divided into five parlia mentary bulkheads classed as watertight compartments, and coming up to the main decks. In addition, she had four bunker bulkheads to the spar desk. Mr. &manly was addressing the court on behalf of the owners when our parcel left. TER INTIINATIONAL EXHIBITION or 1862.—Ac a proof of the interest taken in the forthcoming Exhibi• tics by foreign couotrice, daily communications are received be her Majesty's Comnsiesiooere, expressing the regret of respective foreign oommiasions as to the very limited span which will be afforded them for the display of their Industry. An opinion has appeared to prevail that the spans to be allotted would far exceed that of the Exhibition of 1851, bat such is not the fact ; for although the present building will exceed the dimeasioos of the former one, the extra space so obtained will be devoted to paintings, hr. , which found no place in the Exhibition of 1851. This re striction will still give as much space as in the building of 1851 foe the display of articles of industry. The countries from which notificatious to the above sited have been re ceived swe Belgium, France, Hanover, liecklenburgh•Strelitz, Prionia, Seamy, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Russia, and Switairland.

A dreadful accident occurred on Tuesday evening, on a new line of railway which is being formed between the Rowsley terminus of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, sad Slidhiud Junction Railway, and the fashionable watering town of Buxton, by which five men and a horse were killed, and other serious injuries inflicted. A tunnel is being formed about ZO yards beyond the ancient hall of Haddon, in Derbyshire, and between three and four o'etook on Tuesday afternoon about 17 men were at work is it, when the centres, upon which the atone arch bad been formed, gave way, causing the massive stone-work to fall down into the tunnel, and burping under it several of the workmen. The greatest consternation prevailed, but a goodly number of men being at work on the line imme diate and active steps were taken to extricate the poor fellows who were under the debris. This work was ac complished by six o'clock the same evening, but we re gret to state that four of the men were dead when taken oat, and the fifth lingered until one o'clock yesterday morning, when death put an end to his suffering', both his legs having been dreadfully mangled and broken, and his bead fearfully bruised. The names of the men wham lives were sacrificed are James Bird, aged 36, married, leaving a widow and five children ; John Mil lington, egad 40, married and a family ; James Clarke, aged 21, single ; Alfred Flank, 17, angle ; and George Buckley aged 36, married and a large family . A sixth man, Evans, named bad his leg broker, but he I. favourably. Twoleone—Mesus. Knox and 11. 1 7:71 Bakewell—were ' y in attendance and rendered va,a able maistance. e four men who were dead when ex tricated we-e fearfully mutilated, their limbs being broken in numerous parts. The contractors had only just com pleted about twelve yards of the tunnel, about nine yards of which has faller. The bodies of the deceased men were conveyed to the Royal Oak, Bakewell, to await the coroner's nquest, which will commence thin day. SUSSEX AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The hot, forcing weather we had at the com mencement of the month just pared has brought the crops forward in an extraordinary manna— at the end of May there seemed every probability of • ;ether backward har vest, but now there is every prospect that reapiny, will be general by the lint week in August ; some of the early 7'elavera will be fit to cut by the 22nd of July, if the wea ther should continue favourable. The aewepepis contain the most kiowing accounts of the " magnificent maim of wheat," but we have not heard a single practical fanner say that he expects more than an average crop ; in many mesa not even that. There can be no doubt that the wheat has improved wonderfully, and them are many plums that promise an abundant yield, but these is also a great deal that is very thin, and there certainly cannot be a heavy bulk of straw. Many persons have no better ground tor forming an opinion of the crops than what they got from riding along the roads or on the railway, but to form say thing like a correct estimate they require to be very clank examined. We yesterday looked over some six or mem hundred acres of wheat, out of whish we certainly saw one hundred acres that will not produce more than half an average crop, chiefly owing to the deficiency of plant; a great deal is much infested with poppy, which upon light land is a very great nuimanoe, and very difficult to get rid of. At the end of another month we shall be able to form a more decided opinion of our prospects, but the wheat has yet a very critical time to lo through. Oats, on the down farms, are looking remarkably well ; the barley not so good, but there am some fine Meow to be found. Peas promise to be an abundant crop, but we hear many complaints that the beans are attacked by the dolphin. Some progress has been made in hay making. There is generally a heavy crop of clover, but the meadows will produce hut a single crop, and as yet very little has been eat. The grass a backward this year, and we expect that we shall have to begin harvest before hay making is over. —Brighton (Jazdte. WEATHER REPORT. --4, wwismn"mysotwoLm MARKETS. TALLOW.

The week's import is 70,784 balm RIDES AND LEATREEL—The transactions in leather during the past month show an increase as compared with those of May, more particularly during the last fortnight. The demand, however, is still of the same restricted cha racter, equal in mast articles to the supply, so that there has not been any further accumulation of stock, and .uf &lent to maintain generally the quotations of last month. The causes we named in our last circular as ex:reising a depressing influence on trade universally are by no means removed, but the fine weather affording so good a prospect for the approaching harvest imparis a better feeling in the market, and tends to the expectation of an increased con sumption. In raw goods the most important feature of the month is the large arrival of South American hides, of which the stock ts nearly doubled : other imports are con siderable, and, with the exception of East India kips, prices have tended downwards. Exceedingly low quotations are still given for hides in the North American markets, so that continued ship-Anti may be expected Cameo to Europe.

Easr INDIA COMPANY.—A special general court of proprietors was held yesterday at the offices of the corn. parry, Moorgateatreet, for the purpose of taking into COO. 'Aeration the following resolution, of which notice, in' actor dancewiththebye.lawsof thecompany, had been previously given :—" That the interest accruing from the unclaimed dividends be appropriated by the directors, in addition to the government allowance, towards defraying the necessary ex penses ofthe company." Col. Sykes took the chair. Dr. inch rose to move the above resolution. He considered the sum of 1,900/. now allowed by the government quite insufficient to meet the ordinary expenses of the company. and the government having deprived them of the East lodia House, it also became neceoary to provide suitable premises for the company. Between 306!. and 4001. interest accruing yearly from the sum of 15,0001. unclaimed dividends invested, he thought this sum, aided to the government allowance, might enable the direc tors to meet their necessity expenses. The notion having the sanction of the directors, he begged to move its adoption. Colonel Everest seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The chairman thee au nounced that he had received a letter from the Governor of the Bank of England informing him that the Bank would allow the directors of this company to invest in Exchequer Bills a cash balance they might have at the Bank at the en d of each year. A vote of thanks to the chair man concluded the business. _ _ Gentlemen who require good and faehi,mible Dress can depend on the hest materials and latest at Hamilton and Iriroptona, Dia, Strand. opposite lizeter Ban lAdvertiaement.j BIRTHS MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS.
