This bill was read a second time. TRADING COMPANIES WINDING-UP BILL. This bill was read a second time. THE CHARLES ET GEORGES. Lord WODEHOUSE rose to move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty for a copy of the telegraphic despatch of the 16th of October, /458, referred to in Mr. Howard's despatch of the 27th of October to the Earl of Malmesbury, as printed in the correspondence respecting the Charles et Georges. The noble lord said, in bringing this subject under the attention of their lordships, he must notice an important omission in the blue book that had been presented on the subject, viz., the absence of dates in many instances of several of those despatches. In the observations he should have to address to their lordships he should have to refer to the French Government in terms of condemnation. It was known that the French Government had entered into a plan for supplying labour to her colonies which, no doubt, was sure to degenerate into a practical revival of the slave trade. Having stated then, in outline, the affair of the Charles et Georges, the noble lord said it would be remem bered, that a gentleman named Macleod, the British consul at Mozambique had drawn th e a tt en ti on o f th e Por tuguese to the fact that French ships were sent to their territory apparently for the purpose of prosecuting the slave trade. The Portuguese Government despatched a vessel to the place mentioned when the ship was seized, and 110 negroes having been discovered on board, some of them, were interrogated, and it was elicited that they had been brought there against their will. The defence of the French was that the vessels were not in Portuguese waters, and also that there was an official on board which legalised whatever business the ships were engaged in. The noble lord then quoted several passages from l " Wheaton's International Law" to show that the mere presence of a French delegate was not sufficient to justify the ships engaging in an illegal traffic. It had been said that the presence of such a personage would prevent illegal conduct on the part of the crew, but this was absurd, as slaves were actually found, and they had been brought there against their will. The conduct of Govern ment had been such, that if proper measures had been taken that which now presented a very serious aspect might have been very easily settled. During the whole of the negotiations that had been carried on Lord Cowley had been left entirely without instructions, and, there fore, he was entirely precluded from taking any decided course, and the French Government was left to pursue their original line of conduct, as if the British Government had taken no steps whatever. There was the same want of instruction in the case of the British resident at Lisbon, and the Portuguese Government was eventually advised to accept a miserable subterfuge, and compelled to get out of the difficulty in the most ignominious manner possible to imagine. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tins EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was received with cheers, took the oaths and his seat for the University of Cambridge. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Mr. ADDERLEY andpethat t t e h e e x t s euubdj the w granta was Underinacuoens sideration and it wasp ion to S cotland. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH the Chancellor of eCOMPANY. A NYthe Mr. BERKELEY asked Ex chequer whether, in the event of certain conditions being accepted by the Atlantic Telegraph . Company, it wa s -in tended to confer upon them exclusivelytgu w ar e an uid nteeoertsubbe vention, or whether the same privilege extended to any other company that might be t a h e efi ss rst the to establish an efficient fine of communication across Atlantic The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not the intention of the Government to grant exclusive privileges to any particular company. AUSTRIAN MILITARY DESERTERS. Mr. BOWYBR asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it was true that military deserters and other subjects of the Emperor of Austria were being or had been lately received and enrolled as soldiers by the Sardinian Government; also whether her Majesty's Go vernment had received any information regarding the ob ject of that enrolment, and had offered any and what ad vice to the Sardinian Government on the subject with re ference to the preservation of the peace of Europe ? Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD said it was much to be regretted that the Sardinian Government had adopted the course alluded to, and her Majesty's Government had given that Government advice not to have recourse to any act that would lead to an interruption of the pacific arrangements that were being made by the European powers. LANDED ESTATES COURT (IRELAND). Mr. J. FITZGERALD asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of Government to re commend the appointment of a third judge of the Landed Estates Court (Ireland), in the room of Judge Martley, lately deceased, having re gar d to the return' contaffied in Parliamentary paper, 83, of the present session Lord NAAS said that no jud ge hadsann' appointed, but the matter was under consideration. PREPAYMENT OF LETTERS. 1111 r. RICH moved that while this house Would support meas ures for the correction of any abuses of the privilege of transmittin,, letters through the post without previo us payment, a nd for the ' gradual restr a i n t o f the practice itself, yet it considered that the order by the Postmaster_ General of the 27th day of January last, under the autho rity of a Treasury warrant o the 29th day of January last, which absolutely deprives the public of this privilege, by directing thit all home letters posted after the 10th day of February last, and not prepaid ' should be opened at the Post-office and returned to the writers, would expose individuals to serious inconvenience and injury : and Anther, that the compulsoiy prepayment of foreign and colonial letters, under like penalties, required revision. The hon. gentleman, after a•few observations, withdrew his motion. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. Mr. COX moved for leave to bring in a bill to empower Joint Stock Companies who were unable to register with limited liability, under the provisions of the Act 19 and 20 Vic. c. 47, to do so on or before the 31st day of December, 1859. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the hon. member had fallen into an error with reference to this subject, be cause there was really no practical impediment to public companies registering. A bill would come from the - Upper House with reference to the consolidation of the laws relat ing to the winding-up and registration of all public com panies; and he trusted, under the circumstances, the hon. member would not press his motion. Mr. COX said L he would accede to the suggestion of the right hon. member. The motion was then. withdrawn. THE CHARLES ET GEORGES. Mr. KINGLAKE called the attention of the house to the correspondence respecting the Charles et Georges; and moved for an address for further papers relating thereto ; viz.—Copies of despatches and documents sent by or communicated to her Majesty's Government respecting the deportation of negroes from the Mozambique Coast, including the de spatches from the British Minister at Lisbon to the Por tuguese Government, dated respectively the 22d day of July and the 17th day of Nov. 1857. Of all the corre spondence which has taken place up to the present time respecting the Charles et Georges between her Majesty's Government and Mr. M‘Lecid, now or late ofher Majesty's counsel at Mozambique : Of the message of the 16th day of October, which is described in Mr. Howard's Despatch of the 21st day of October, 1858, in the following words : —" A further message, of the 16th instant, from the Earl of Malmesbury respecting his former advice to drop the prosecution ;" of any instructions respecting the Charles et Georges which may have been addressed by the Earl of Malmesbury to Lord Cowley in the interval between the 18th day of March, 1858, and the 3d d ay o f O c t o b er. He considered that, notwithstanding'_ anything that had been said to the contrary , it was highly important that this subject should be taken into consideration, and from such cons ideration it was not their duty t o shrink at the present time. In the reign of Queen Anne the port of Bombay been ceded to this country, and in that session the Govern ment entered into a treaty by which they bound this coun try to defend the Portuguese against foreign hostilities. That treaty was found to be too vague, and another of a more definite character was entered into. Subsequently, in 1810 and 1815, when the country was flushed with its success in arms to which the Portuguese soldiers had con tributed. An engagement was entered into, by which the antecedent treaties were confirmed, and this country bound itself to carry them out in their integrity. Of ccurse it was understood that these treaties were to be binding only when the Portuguese were threa tened with danger, or engaged in hostilities which had not been provoked by any improper acts on their part. In 1810 the Portuguese prohibited the slave trade being carried on north of the line, but in 1836 they deemed it expedient to ex tend that prohibition totheir territories south ofthe line as far as Mozambique. The hon. member here entered into a nar rative of the circumstances connected with the capture of the Charles et Georges. Before that seizure the proceedings adopted by the crew of the vessel in approaching so near, or within the prohibited limits, was denounced by the British consul, and at his instigation a cruiser was sent out by the Portuguese Go vernment. The Charles et Georges war captured, and the captain being convicted according to the laws of Portugal, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. On the 6th of May, 1858, the Foreign Secretary was informed that the claims of France, in reference to the matter against Portugal, was assuming a very serious form ; and what he complained of was, that notwithstanding that informa tion, Lord Malmesbury took no notice of the matter until October The hon. member then entered in detail into the subsequent proceedings that had taken place in refer ence to the capture of the vessel, and repeated his ocndemnation of the conduct pursued by the Government, which he considered as most unjust towards Portugal, considering the treaties that were existing with that coun try. The hon. member also read extracts from the diplo matic correspondence which took place on the subject. [LEFT SPEAKING.] LONDON GAZERFE-(THIS EVENING) WHITEHALL, MARCH 7.

The polling commenced this morning at eight o'clock : " At balf•past ono Mr. Humphery Brown re signed, but the polling was continued. "Large majority for Lygon." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1859, THE ARMY. The 2d battalion of the 22d Regiment, which has been wholly raised at Preston, Lancashire, left the Fulwood barracks for the camp at Aldershot last Friday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon the new breech-loading can non, which has been invented by Mr. Warry, of the Royal Engineer barracks, Brompton,was again experimented with at Chatham, for the purpo se o f putting the gun to tests of a different charact er t o those tried on the occasion of the former experi ments. Since the description of this cannon ap peared, the inventor has effected another great improvement in the method of firing it, by which nearly 20 rounds per minute—or nearly double those fired at former experiments--can now be dis charged from the gun. This improvement consists of a lever, of an exceedingly simple contrivance, placed on the left side of the breech, which by a single movement cuts the cartridge, primes the nipple, closes the breech, and fires the gun, the whole of the operations enumerated being effected instantaneously. The first of the experiments tried yesterday with the gun was that of tiring a shell at a portion of canvass suspended at the end of the range. For this purpose one of Captain Norton's leaden shells was inserted in the gun and fired at the canvas, against which it exploded on striking, the object being to show that metal shells, charged with Capt. Norton's " liquid fire," may be made to fracture on striking canvas. Another shell of lead was then fired from the same gun into a mass of soft clay, the shell exploding on striking and enter ing. In this shell of Capt. Norton's the percussion appliance is placed below the mouth of the missile, so that the ramrod cannot press on it in the act of ramming it home. The result of this experiment proved that such shells are sure to explode on strik ing and entering claymounds or earthworks, where the Boxer fuze and the Moorsom percussion shell fail to be effective. Mr. Warry's breech-loading invention can be applied to any metal guns, of whatever size, which can be rifled and rendered fit for service at an estimated cost of one-fourth the expense of turning out one of Sir W. Armstrong's rifled cannon. COUNTRY MAI?,ICE,TS. NEWCASTLE-MARCH 5.

A person named Neville Allen was charged with obtaining money from various persons under the pretence that he was concerned in a litigation, Allen v. Allen, referring to vast estates in the West Indies and £2,000,000 or £3,000,000 in the funds. His plan was to direst the attention of his vic tims to a report of a ease, Allen v. Allen, at Vice-Chan cellor Wood's Chambe rs , an d t o s t ate that his solicitor was pressing him ibt money to carry on the proceedings. In this manner the fellow succeeded in swindling three per sons, one of them in humble life, of £9, £B5, and £6O re spectively. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the whole of the charges. The Deputy Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonments ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday an attempt at suicide was - committed by Mrs. Elizabeth Sh.tw, aged 35, who resided in Pitt s - s t ree t , C am b erwe ll . The unfortunate woman has lately been in a very low desponding state of mind, owing to her husband charging her with infidelity ; and on Saturday night, owing to a quarrel with her hus band, she left her home, and was found in the Borough by the police in O. k§ttite of insensibility. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where it was found she had taken nearly two waves of laudanum. The stomach pump was applied and other antidotes were administered, but she remains in 8 precarious state. 1 I ADVERTISEMENT,] R E EN T SIGHT AND HEARING. —SPEC.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—ln this case I have considered the facts with great pains, and given them all the careful attention that I could, and I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Job was not in his office on the 13th of September last, and was not served with a notice of the order I made upon him. pur posely abstain from stating the grounds on which I have come to that conclusion. The consequence will be that the execution will be set aside. He shall have the costs of this application ; and I shall make an order that he shall pay the money in my former order into court, within ten da343 from this time. Mr. R. Palmer—And on his undertaking that he shall not bring any action of damages on account of the distraint ? His Honour—Yes. Mr. R. Palmer—His obtaining costs will not affect the ordei that he shall pay the money into court within ten days ? His Honour—No. Likewise, the official manager shall have his costs out of the estate. Ordered accordingly. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.) JUDGMENT.-LOMBURDE V. PEACH. This was a family suit between sister and brother. The plaintiff, Mrs. Lomburde, by her bill in the events which happened, claimed the devised estates in her father's will. The testator, by his will, devised the remainder of his estates to trustees, and declared that, in the event of Edmond Henry Tirtan Peach succeeding to his family estates and his devised estates, he shall not hold both together ; that the devised estates shall in that event go over to the next heir of tail in remainder. By the codicil to his will he directed the rest of the income of his estate to be applied to the education and maintenance of the heirs of tail and in remainder. The testator died Nov. 13, 1831. His Honour came to the conclusion that, in consequence of the shifting clause in the will, the defendant was not entitled to hold both estates—the family and devised estates —hut only the family estates of the testator. But in respect of the devir \ e to the trustees to hold the devised estates for the heirs in remainder, the defendant was entitled, as heir at-law, to succeed as heir in remainder to that estate, to the exclusion of his sister, Mrs. Lamburdo. His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill, without costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE HILLS AND HILLS-THE DARTFORD AND GRAVES- END BANK. These bankrupts, Jonathan Hills and Robert Hills, car ried on business as bankers at Graveknd and Dartford, and to-day was appointed for consideration of their certificates. Mr. Lawrance appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Bayley and Mr. Read for creditors to oppose. Mr. Lawrance said the case had been adjourned until the consideration of a proof tendered on behalf of the estate of H. Gibson had been decided. Since then, however, Jonathan Hills had died, and Robt. Hills had left the country, ostensibly to get a large sum of money for the benefit of the creditors ; at all events he was not present, and he (Mr. Lawrence) believed that they, the assignees, and the opposing credi tors had a right to insist upon an absolute and uncondi tional refusal of the certificate, but, although there were very grave charges against the bankrupt, and it was not very probable he would return to England yet, to give him an opportunity of doing something for his creditors, it would perhaps be better to adjourn the certificate sine die, and he could then apply hereafter. His Honour said he was very decidedly in favour of that course, and doubted whether he could refuse it when the bankrupt did not appear. Mr. Lawrance said that it had been done in other cases, but an adjournment sine die would answer every practical purpose. Mr. Bayley and Mr. Read assented to the suggestion, and applied for costs of opposition, which were allowed. His Honour then adjourned the case sine die. No ap pointment for another meeting to be made except on special order of the Court, and special notice to the opposing cre- ditors. POLICE IN2'E'LLIGENCE.-(TINS DAY.) BOW-STREET. A dissipated-looking man, named John Murphy, was placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting Mr. John Phillips. The complainant, landlord of the Crown Coffee-house, High-street, Bloomsbury, said that about half-past three on that morning, a gentleman came to his house in a cab, accompanied by the prisoner. The gentleman knew Phillips, and wishing to stand a bottle of wine, threw down half-a-sovereign for the purpose. The prisoner tried three times to possess himself of the coin, but on each occasion was foiled, which evidently very much displeased him. The gentleman who wanted the wine was told he could not have it there, tea and coffee being the only articles sold. Immediately the prisoner found it was not intended to send for the drink he behaved in a very outrageous manner, challenged the complainant to fight, called him vile names, and ultimately struck him a violent blow, which broke his nose. The police were instantly sent for, and after some trouble the prisoner was locked up. John Webster, a cheesemonger's assistant, lodging at Mr. Phillips', said he was present when the disturbance took place, and saw Phillips give the gentleman the half sove reign back. The prisoner came in with the gentleman, and seemed to know him. He saw Murphy strike Phillips. Police-constable E 115, said he went to Phillips's shop. The complainant's face was bleeding, and the prisoner was sitting on one of the tables. He resisted very much, but eventually he was conveyed to the station-house, and placed in a cell, where he created so much disturbance that he was threatened with having his boots taken off. He said he knew that was more than any peeler dare do, for if any one came into the cell he would give him a dose that would do for him. He had known the prisoner for eight or nine years, but during the whole of that period he had not known him do a day's work. He was the constant asso ciate of thieves and ticket-of-leave men. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, the prisoner said more than half of what had been said against him were lies ; that he was drunk, and that he had no Intention of stealing the half-sovereign from his friend. Mr. Jardine had some doubts about the truth of the pri soner's statement, but it was clear that he had violently assaulted Phillips, and he should therefore send him to prison for three weeks. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—WiniAM Duffel, a booteloser, residing in Camomile-street, City, was charged with the following unprovoked assault on a female : Ellen Ford, of 3, Chart's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane, whose eye bore evident proof of the brutal manner in which she had been assaulted, said that about 12 o'clock the pre vious night she was standing at the corner of Cranbourne street waiting for a friend, when the prisoner came up in a ruffianly way and made use of very vile language. Not wishing to have anything to say to him she told him to go away, when he made use of a disgusting expression and immediately struck her a violent blow in the face, causing her eye to be blackened as it then appeared. The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, asked the com plainant how she got her living ? The complainant said she lived with her mother, a laun dress. The prisoner had asked her to forgive him, but how could she with such an eye. Robert Harris, of Castle-street, said he had left the complainant but afew moments, and on coming up he heard the prisoner abuse the complainant in a disgraceful manner, and on her expostulating with him he struck her in the eye. After a struggle and a chase he was secured and given into custody. The prisoner, in reply, asked the last witness whether that was all that took place, but gained very little by his question, as the witness said he also struck him on the mouth. Mr. Beadon said if the last witness had given the prisoner a good thrashing he should have said he well deserved it for giving the female such an eye as she then had. It was a brutal assault. Fined .f 6 or two months. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE. -40 hE t Clancy, a melancholy-looking young man, who said he was in the employ of the Trinity House Corporation on the river, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with com mitting a cowardly and violent assault on Henry Marsh, a police-constable, No. 269 K. ' - The policeman, who had sustained considerable injury, said he was on duty in Collingwood-strcet, Ratcliff, last night, and saw the prisoner and two other men approach ing. He suspected no harm, and was about passing the three men, when the prisoner suddenly and without provocation struck him a heavy blow with his clenched fist, and knocked him down. He seized the ririsoner, and had a severe scuffle with him upon the ground. on which the other men attempted to rescue the prisoner, and tore the hair from his head. Several handsful of hair were dragged from his head. He called out "murder," and another policeman came to his assistance. The pri soner then ran away in the direction of the Commercial road, and his companions towards Brook-street. Another constable stopped the prisoner and took him into custody. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the complainant said the prisoner never spoke a word when he knocked him down. The prisoner said the charge ag ainst him w a s all false. He called no witness, and the c h ar g e bein g fully sustained, Mr Yardley said the assault was cowardly and un provoked. He sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days' imprisonment.

The Caradoc, steam despatch vessel, left Malta for Alexandria on the 26th, to receive on board Lord Elgin, shortly ex pected to reach Suez on his return to England froin his special mission to China and Japan. The Vul ture steam frigate arrived at Malta from Gibraltar on the 21st, escorted by the Perseverance, in conse quence of her leaky condition, from having got aground on the western coast of Barbary, near Cape Blanes, for which accident Captain Frederick A. Campbell, and Mr. Francis Taylor, the master, were put on their trial before a naval court-martial, of which Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8., the second in command in the Mediterranean, sat as president, and Mr. Th os . Al exan d er T e lf er , R.N. his secre tary, o ffi ciated as judge-advocate. The trial com menced at 8 a.m. on the 24th, and was not con cluded until the afternoon of the 26th, when Capt. Campbell was fully acquitted of any blame, but against the master neglect was declared proved, and he was accordingly condemned to be severely reprimanded and dismissed the ship. The defence of the master seems to have had in view the throw ing the responsibility on the first lieutenant, Mr. Rae, who, like the master, was absent from the deck, the senior officer of the watch at the time being a midshipman. The Vulture has had to be docked. Her Majesty's ships in Valetta Harbour on the 3d March were the Marlborough, screw line of-battle ship (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral A.

The follow ing verdict was returned The jury is of opinion that the deceased met with his death from an accident on the railway, caused by the breakage of the adjusting screw of the leading or near spring of the engine attached to the 10.5 train from Rugby, but that there is ito evidence to show how the breakage occurred. The jury recommend that the rails of all curves such as the one where the accident hap pened should be more strongly pinned or coupled together, nd stronger timber used for sleepers."
