LIIPPPIAL P tRLIANEXT. •IHOUSF. OF lU►EDes. Jima' 14. Lord GOHER ell prevented a Petition from Liverpool, against the Stage-coach C , ntsactors' Bill. ' Lord MF.I.VILI.E presented a petition from the solicitors of the eapreme-en."-'s of seo:11n.l. in favour of the Court of Seasions' Tile LORD ell 1 SCELLOR gave notice, that he should move the second reading of a hill relative to the law of libel on Friday. The Marquis of 14 INSDOWNE presented a petition from the publishers and booksellers of London, against a clause in the Stage enach Proprietor.' or Carriers' Bill. When that bill was introduced the other house, a clause was inserted, specifying certain articles, of which the parties who sent them were bound to give notice, and state their value to the coach proprietors. An additional clause, It appeared. bad been inserted in the bill when it went through its last stage in the house, by which booksellers and publishers were bound to specify the value of the hooks which they sent by coach. They ennsid-red this clause would act to their prejudice, and humbly sub twitted that books should be clan-std under the general denomination ofmerchandke. His lordship concurred in this opinion, and ex peessed his intention of moving an amendment to that effect when the repott was brought up. The order of the day was then read, when The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that the word "books" be omitted. After a few words from Lord WHARNCLIFFE, who concurred in the amendment, the motion was agreed to. The Earl of DARNLRY moved the order of the day for the second reading of the Holyhead Road Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY opposed the Bill, and moved as an amendment that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. _ _ _ _ ..... The Earl of DARNLRY tudd there could be no objection to fur. liter inquiry into the nature of the bill when it passed through the other stages, and could not concur in the motion of the noble mar. quis.—.The question was then put, and the original motion was agreed to without a division. I SCOTCH JUDICATUHZ DILL. On the order of the day being read for the house resolving itself into a Committee on this Rill, The Earl of 'MANSFIELD stated that it would be advantageous to the country to which this bill was to apply, that it should not be passed with such inconvenient speed. A statement had gone abroad that it was extremely popular in Scotland. He did not mean to deny that a great many individuals of talent and legal practice were in favour of it, but he denied that it was generally favourable throughout Scotland. and had good authority for stating, that many of those who were favourable to the principle of the bill were anxious that more time should be given for considering it under all its details. He was convinced that more justice would he done to it next session, and was inclined to think that government had pressed it forward with more celerity than was consistent with pru. Bence or sound legislation. The house then resolved itself into a committee on the hill. fagrdWYNFORD addressed the house sitting, and repeated the arguments which he had used upon a former night against the par. tial application of the principle of trial by Jury to the Court of Sex lion alone. If that system was good in principle, it ought to apply to all the Courts in Scotland. There MN no reason why trial by Jury should not be introduced into the Sheriff's' Courts in Scotland„ which was a Court of extensive jurisdiction and great utility within the hamlet where it sat. Trial by Jury was the birthright of the British subject, and, if it was extended to the people of Scotland, ought to be given as fully as it was enjoyed by those of this coun try. His notion on this subject was, that, In every case where a fact was put in issue, it ought to be tried by a Jury, as being the hest judges of these matters • for it was said by Lord Mansfield that pecans who had received a legal education were not the best calculated for forming a correct judgment upon facts.—(Hear, hear)—The noble lord concluded by moving a clause for " ex. tending trial by Jury to the Sheriffs' Courts, and that, in all ques tions of fact raised by the pleadings in any case, the trial of them should be referred to a Jury. Lord 31 ELVILLE opposed the clause, upon the ground that it contravened the very principle of the bill itself. This measure had been recommended after fifteen years' consideration, and at the ex. press suggestion of the Commissioners. The best legislation was that which was temperate, and there was nobody in this country or in Scotland prepared for this change. The opinions of the Bench and Bar in Scotland were against it. The Commissioners expressly stated that things were not ripe enough for the introdue. lion of trial by Jury in civil eases in Scotland. If the noble lord thought that by three words he could introduce the machinery o trial by Jury into the Sheriffs' Courts in Scotland, he was much mistaken. Such a measure required much greater consideration, and much larger arrangement. The clau.e was then negatived. Several verbal amendments were then agreed to, after which t house resumed, the report was brought up and agreed to, and the bill, with its amendments, orderod to be printed. Mr. GaatsY continued the cross.exsmination of Mr. Pinata r. three hours, relative to various points connected with the orders and books of the Admiralty Courts in Ireland, and the further con sideration of the subject was postponed until Friday night, when the LORD CHASCELLOR said the 'house would expect case to be closed, and the house adjourned at a quarter past eleven o'clock. LAW REPORTS. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 14. The Court this morning heard causes, none of which were inter. esting, except to the parties immediately concerned. ARRANGEMENT Or suarmiss. The Vtcr:-Cit ANC E t.ton said that he had been consulting with the Solicitor. General respecting the convenience of sitting on kriday. It would perhaps be desirable to decide that matter now. The SOLICITORMENZRAL said it would be impossible for him to return front Windsor early enough to attend in the morning, and in all probability his Honour would have to be up all to-morrow night. Preparations were made, it was true, to get back as soon as possible, but a thousand circumstances might occur to prevent their doing so. His Hos/ova said that it would be better to determine at once not to sit till Saturday, which was accordingly done. SECO\ IrA RI"S OFFICE. FOOT •. ILEUM. This was an action of trove?, for the recovery of the price of r quantity of goods, the property of Lundy Ft.ot, the celebrated nanufacturer of the Irish *null; vulgarly and improperly called Blackguard." The defendant and his brother had formerly kept what is called a Snuff and Cigar Divan, in Russell-street, Covent-garden, and be came customers to the plaintiff for a quantity of snuff, for which the charge was, as per agreement, 591. 7s. The snuff was received at the Divan, but the part of the agreement which stated that the money was to be forthcoming upon the delivery of the goods, war wholly forgotten. The snuff was, nevertheless, left at the Divan,- but the important portion of the compact alluded to not seeming to , enter into the calculation of the defendant, the plaintiff instated. upon the return of the order. Neit day the snuff made its appear ance atthe plaintiff% shop, but in a very diminished condition, the consequence of which was that a charge was preferred in a very. different court from that in which justice was now sought. The sa tisfaction required by the plaintiff, however, not having been', obtilned, the present mode was adopted , and the • defendant havin g allowed judgment to go by default, the case necessarily fell into this Court. George Taylor, clerk to the plaintiff, stated that the defendant bad ordered home a quantity of snuff upon the price of which be had agreed. The amount was 591.75. the article to be paid for on' delivery. It was not paid for, and' when returned, the parcel was fcund to be deficient of snuff to the amount of 171. 9s. Bd. For this sum the plaintiff went. Mr. POTTER, befoto whom the ease was tried, stated that, there, being no defence whatever to the action. the Jury must find for the plaintiff to the amounretated io the declaration. The .fury assessed the damages accordingly at 171. 9s. 841. Soon a f t er the assessment took place, the defendant entered the office, and stated that he should move for a new trial. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 14. Job Rickard Taylor, a furniTure-broker, was opposed by Mr. Coosz, in behalf o f Cornelius Bower, and by Mr..loseph Laloyd, a creditor, in person. Mr. Woonnor r appeared for the Insolvent. Examined by Mr. Coosx.—lnsolvent remembers borrowing money from Mr. Bower; he received :MI. can neither read nor melee; _ain't say who drew the bill of exchange fi x 271 . he g ot it 11Atea.Mr. Matthews's house; &female brought to him ; it was hlat- . - liteera's acceptance ; there were two Matthews's ;be took the bill to the house ; it was not drawn ;he took the stamp, a printed one ; hel gave .it to a female at Matthews's house; he use d in Lombard., court; he wanted his acceptance for 271. be bad acepted bills be.l fore for him ; the same.fentale brought it to him about an hour at er verde ;he asked her If the.bill was done, and she Paid '•,yes •he slifterwards saw Matqtews ; but he did not ask him respecting the acceptance ; can'tSsay where be, Matthews, is to be found g ha cued upon him in prison, but he did not oak him where be' l iked ; •he did lire in Eagle-yard, Queen-street, !levee Dials. was aware that Mr. Meier had commenced an action against!

Witness bad seen the insolvent in Whitecrosoft Street, and asked him to name the person who accepted the bill. when' the insolvent used abusive language, and in consequence of his re fuge' they were obliged to withdraw the record. Cross-examined by Mr. Woonnoeen.—They bad arrested William Matthews: they wanted evidence against the person who ( draw the hill. Mr. Coots.—We cannot go to trial without the information. The CHIEF Cousitsstootti.—.lt is a very reasonable request. Mr. WOODIIOI , FIC. - I think not, Sir t there is sufficient stated on the face of the schedule : the bill was admitted. Cnt ET Cotemissioxsa.—Well, Sir.go on. lam doing wrong in 'giving my advice. Insolvent, examined b Mr. Woonaoirrc.—He met Bower, and told him he wanted to have a bill discounted. He had business with Matthews. Bower waited at the Black Horse. lie remained there near an hour. The bill was for 271. at two months ; but he only received 231, for it from Bower. He bad bills done for 301. before, for which he paid Bower 21. He was never required to put his mark to the bill in question. Mr. Bower has seen him in prison ; he came several times ; they had ale together, and he gave him (ineolvent) 2s. 6d . not to put his name in the schedule. In solvent said it was his duty to do so. Bower said he would oppose him, if he did: he said if the insolvent would say who put his name to the bill, he would withdraw all opposition. Bower examined—He is the hostile of St. Giles's parish ; he saw the insolvent in prison; he never asked him to leave the debt out of the schedule; he asked the Insolvent who wrote his name, and who Matthews was, when he said he would inform him, but he never gave him the desired information. He paid him but 231. having deducted a balance due upon a former bill. By Mr. WooDaorre—He did not keep back the 41. by way of discount; he would swear this. Mr. Joseph Lloyd then entered upon his opposition. It appeared that he held a bill of exchange, accepted by the insolvent, for 341. 7s. 7d. for which he gave value; he proceeded against the insolvent. Wm. Willis, a sheriff's officer, proved that he arrested the in solvent on the 39th of April, but let him out of custody upon his assuring him that his name was not Job, and that he did not know the plaintiff; finding, however, that he had been deceived, he took him again on a Sunday, on account of the sheriff. The Chief Commissioner.—l cannot assist you on account of Matthews. The insolvent was finally ordered to be discharged. James Worts, late of Whitechapel, baker, against whom a com mission of bankruptcy had issued, was oosed by Mr. Adolphus, on behalf of Mr. Lewen, a flour-factor, and other creditors. The Chief Commissioner inquired of Mr. Adolphus if the Insol vent had contracted any debt since his bankruptcy, to which Mr. Adolphus teplied he believed not, but that blr. Lewin had not proved his debt under the commission. It appeared to him to be a family compact to cheat the creditors. The Chief Commissioner--Is not the jurisdiction out of our hands, and have not the assignees sufficient power in themselves 1 , Mr. Coosz regretted that he had not the good fortune to see his learned friend more frequently in this court, but he could not Ice the utility of going into an examination which must have been en tered into before. After some further conversation, the Cruz, Costssissioxsa gave Mr. Adolphus liberty to proceed. From the examination of the insolvent it appeared that he had commenced business in Welstead.street, Somers -town, in 1827, where he contracted a debt with his father, who afterwards struck a docket against him. It further appeared that the insolvent had bor. rowed money of his brother to the amount of 1501. to whom he had, furnished a considerable qauantity of flour. This not ap ring on the face of his special balance-sheet, the Court d that the ease should stand adjourned " sine die," for the purpose of correct ing the defect, and that four days' notice be given to the opposing creditors.

The Flints let fly at us, and we let 117 et them, cube in, and we slipped out, but as I did's& care taken, I made no great haste. Mr. Robin —I dare say you have a wife and /racy to see them starve.

How did it occur, asked his Lordship, this the flints all escaped The constables replied that they slipped out of the room, befit Flints and Dungs, with amazing ositerky, but bow they monived. it was only known to themselves. There wee as such thing as. holding them by any part of their dress, for they seemed to know the nature of cloth so well, that when any one of them was seised by the collar, he par a twist, and was free In an Instant. The Loan MAYOI admitted the ingenuity of the defence of the officers but told them that if they did not mind what tby were about, they would exchange characters for valour with those whom they had in vain endeavoured to master. And it would be a very pretty distinction if the constables of the city were called flora: (laughter.) His lordship then advised the defendant to avoid any contest with theFlinta, but assist in any of them who should assail him before a magistrate. He also monished the constables to proceed with more energy in preventing breaches of the peace. His lordship trusted that, for the sake of their families, all the Mints would se soon as possible be convinced of the pro- pviety of becoming Dungs. Gurtnuat.t..—Mr. ldwards, the landlord of the Bull's Head Abbe-house, in Jewin-street Crescent, attended on a summons far selling a pint of porter, without being duly licensed. The sale of beer being proved, The defendant's Solicitor urged 'that; to; complete the ease, it should have been shown that the defendant wan not licensed, in. stead diming the defendant to show that be is Seemed. The Chief Clerk thought the objection was good, but the City So licitor and Mr. Payne thought otherwise, and the case The defendant, it appeared, took the house in April from°l4:ltoks. Taylor, and, under the advice of a broker, had couskiend her mt. signment of the licenses, (without any sanction from the Magis trates,) and an entry of his name at the Excise office, sufficient au thority for carrying on the trade till the annual licensing day ; and he had disregarded repeated notices to attend at two of the eight licensing-days in a year, which he had already passed over. Sir Jonx PEURING said the truth was shortly this. A person about to take a publie.-house, should not conclude the bargain till his entering has been actually sanctioned by the Magistrate. He fined the defendant 51. and warned him that he should fine to a heavier amount, if he should be detected in offending again. HATTOW.GAIDEL— Wm. Moffat, a person of respectable ape pearance, a master baker, residing at Great Bell-court Coleman. street, was brought up, charged with assaulting J. Goodwin, No 212, Division (1. and with tearing his coat. Goodwin stated that on the previous night the prisoner obtained permission to enter Charter-bouse.square, at half-past eleven o'clock,' being half an hour after the gates are shut ; be represented that was going to call upon Winson, Paul, and Vincent; the gate-keeper observed that he passed the door tithe house that he had ed, and the gate-keeper called to the man in charge of the =; 1 0 3 s prevent Mr. Alorat passing dummth. This occasioned an expostulation, and Goodwin was Wledln to take Mr. Moffitt custody.which Mr. 11. resisted, and in the scuffle tore the coostabk's, cost ; Goodwin exhibited the rent in his uniform to the Magistrates„l and pointed out the deficiency of several buttons. 11r. Moffat, In defence, said that be was going to the persons had described, to procure medicine for a child of his own who sick. Mr. Sergeant Szt.s.ow told the constable, Goodwin, that he had acted very improperly I that Mr. Moffat had a right to enter Charter-house-square to visit his medical adviser, that his hav passed the door, which might have been a mistake, was no season why he should be dragged off to a etation-honse, and he must be dischamed. Goodwin seemed confounded at the decision, and when he got out of the Magistrate's presence gave vent to his feelings In no very measured terms. He would go that very moment to the station house and tender his clothes to the Commissioners—he was not going to be used In this way, to be knocked down, have his cost torn, and then a Magistrate to my that he deserved I will give them their b—..d clothes, and send the d—.d pollee to the Uutow.fiaLt..—The owner of. ferocious dog Wei summoned before Mr. Swabey, on a charge of permitting It to goat large un. muzzled, owing to which neglect 4 young lad had been severely bitten by the animal. The complainant stated that as his son was that morning paining the street in which the defendant resides, a large dog rushed out of his shop and seised the boy by the fleshy part of the thigh, upon which it inflicted a deep and dangerous wound. After the injury had been done the lad wee conveyed to a neighbouring surgeon, I .who, ea a precaution against hydrophobia, cut away the parts adl'a.l sent to the wound, and the little sufferer was now confined to hie bed. The complainant added, that it bad been since ascertained' that the dog was not mad, but that it was naturally of a ferocious' and surly temper, and that the object of his (eomplainant's)appeer.' ing against the defendant was for.the purpose of compelling him to' destroy so vicious en animal. The defendant claimed that slaying his faithful dog would be ae l bed as devingliniedf of oar of his own members. The animal' had been in the,famlly, and Its should therefore regret to see' bha knocked on the bead. The Aleglnmate said, that unless he consented to have the animal . desunyed, the penalty for the offence of permitting it to go unmuse sled should be Mined, The defendant, after some consideration on the choice he had to' make, at length consented that the dog should be killed, to pave himself from the other alternative; and with this decision the complainant was astieded, and withdrew with the view of seeing it into immediate execution.

Sir J. Mackintosh, in his new "History of England," in adverting to the nautical genius of thinadves of these Wands, adds this curious and somewhat novel remark—that " it is not unreason. able to surmise that the settlement of so many pirates in England, the natives of every country from the Elbe, perhaps from the Rhine, to the North Cape, between the sixth and tenth centuries, y have contributed to cultivate those natal propensities which arm a part of the British character." ALORRINZ PUNISHMENTS.—Every sentence pro nounced by the Dey of Algiers is inflexibly executed.
