LADY PICKPOCKETS.—CAUTION TO LADIES.—Three well-dressed females, named Ann Cooper, Elizabeth Brooks, and Jane Love, were charged Wore Mr. Beadon with at tempting to pick pockets in Oxford-street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street,, ap peared for the prisoners. Charles Brown, 304 A, said that at half-past four the previous afternoon he saw saw the prisoners in Oxford street. Having watched them a Avert time, he saw them push themselves into a crowd round an omnibus leaving the Circus, and Love then put her hand into the pocket of a lady who had a child in her arms, but she did not succeed in abstracting anything. The prisoners then went to the corner of John-street, and returned to the shop of Mr. Roberts, livendraper, between John-street and the Circus, and Love then again put her hand into a lady's pocket, Cooper being 9t her Bide and Brooks behind. They then followed two ladies to the Regent-circus, where a crowd of people were crossing to leave by an omnibus, and the prisoners again pushed them selves amongst them. They then returned to the corner ' of John-street, and, getting the assistance of two constables, he took them into custody. The prisoners at the station refused their addresses. _ . Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he knew all the prisoners. He had seen Cooper at this court before, and he believed he had seen Brooks at Clerkenwell. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the sergeant said he could not say when—it might be more than three years. Ho knew Brooks well. Mr. Boadon said he should remand them for a week to see whit was known of them. CURIOUS CASE OF FELONY.—Edward Gurling, a boy of 16, was charged with stealing a quantity of lead pipe from the garden of the house 10, Portland •road, in the occupa tion of dr. Henry Halsay Bishop, one of the curates of All Souls, the said pipe being the property of Mr. Henry Tritton, the banker. The case having been proved, Sing, 28 E, in answer to Mr. Beadon, said the prisoner lived with his father and mother, and was in the employ of a chemist. The father of the boy stepped forward and said it was the first time his son had been in a police court. Mr. Beadon said the boys going into a private garden and stealing the lead was a remarkable felony for a boy to begin with. He must have learnt from some one where to dispose of the lead, and he must have got into very bad company. The father said he had received an injury to his head some time ago, and at times he did not know what he was about. He had been in the employ of a cherni.t. Mr. Beadon, placing little credit in the statement about the injuries the boy had received, and remarking that if that was really the case he was not:a proper person to be at a chemist's, where he might get at dangerous drugs and do mischief, asked the lad whether he was guilty, and re ceiving an answer in the affirmative, committed him for three months. .runtD EDITIO_N.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY. - James Featherstone; alias Brown, alias Smith, a tall, powerful, and active fellow, about 23 years of age, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing a coat, the property of Mr. Wm. Johnson, an oil and colourman, of 243, High-street, Shad well. The prisoner has been summarily convicted five times, and once convicted by a jury, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. Yesterday evening, Mr. Johnson left his horse and cart in Elm-street, Back Church•lane, St. George's-in the- East, while he went into a shop to obtain orders for goods. In his absence the prisoner, who was accompanied by another man, took a coat belonging to the prosecutorout of the cart and ran away with it up Providence-street. Mr. Johnson returned to his cart immediately afterwards, and was informed of the robbery by two girls. While the prosecutor was making inquiries and relating his loss to a crowd assembled about him, the prisoner made his appear ance, and was pretending to listen to the news, when one of the girls, who saw the robbery committed, said there is the man, and the prisoner was immediately secured. He denied, most vehemently, thit he was the thief; but two girls swore positively to him, and that he ran up Provi dence-street with the coat. _ _ M -- The prisoner (loudly)—I did not run up Providence street at all—it is a lie. I was not there at all. Mr. Yardley said he would not suffer a witness to be abused or intimidated. He committed the prisoner for trial. and directed that he should be brought up again to-morrow, and that the former conviction by a jury should then be given in evidence formally. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. • 4,,_\._.__ .. HOUSE OF L9RDS—(illis EVENING.) Tho LORD CnaNcELLort took his seat on the woolsack tt five o'clock. NICE AND SAVOY. The Earl of ELLENBOROLIGH asked how it was that in the correspondence respecting the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice to France, recently laid on the table, no mention was made of any negotiations between this coun try and Russia, Austria, and Prussia ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he had no difficulty in answering the question-of the noble earl. The views of her Majesty's Government had been transmitted to the three Powers mentioned by the noble earl. Those communica tions consisted of the despatches addressed by Lord John Russell to Lord Cowley, and also the answers written thereto by Lord Cowley. The dates of the despatches re ceived from Lord Cowley were the 23th of January and the 13th of February. The communication to Berlin was dated the 13th of February, and that to St. Petersburgh the 25th of the same month. The Earl of DERBY asked if a despatch alluded to by Lord Cowley in one written by him on the 25th could ba given to the house. It was not at present included in the correspondence produced. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the despatch was looked upon as of no importance, but there could be no objection to its production. Lord WODEHOUSE laid the de=pateh in question on the table. THE NEW FRENCH TREATY. The Duke of NEW - OA:STa iaTd,l;;;;;seciu:ence of the adjournment of the debate on this subject in the other house, the motion for an address to her Majesty on the part of their lordships would be postponed unil Thursday week. PRIVATE BUSINESS. ('n tho motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a third time and passed :—The Belfast and Ballymena Railway, Carrickfergus and Larne Railway, and Great Northern and Western Railway (Ireland). IRISH RAILWAYS. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition against the Grand Canal, Midland Great Western and Great Southern and Western Railways Bill. The noble marquis said he should, when the bill came before their lordships, give it his moat determined opposition. The Earl of LUCAN considered the bill a most mis chievous one, and he trusted their lordships would inter pose and not allow the bill to pass to a private committee. Lord MONTAGUE said he had a great many commu nications from Ireland on this subject, but in not one of them was there a word in favour of the measure. The bill was certainly a public one, and ought not to be considered in a private committee. Lard REDESDALE rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(rIIIS El - ENING.)

SAVOY AND NICE.-THE TREATY WITH FRANCE, Mr. KINGLAKE gave notice that on Mon day next he would move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty, thanking her Majesty far having ordered to be laid on the table the correspondence relative to the annexation of Savoy and Nice. Also that a humble address be presented to her Majesty expressing, on the part of that house, the deepest concern at the contemplated annexation of these provinces, and thanking her Majesty for the part she had taken, in concert with the other powers of Europe, in reference to this subject, which had caused the greatest alarm and distrust in Europe.

Ribbans and Mr. Sievier were accused of conspiring to leave an illegitimate chill charge able to the Leek union, was re-heard on Saturday. Th e nurse, Mrs. de Derriere, who brought the child from Lon don,bu t was put into the witness-box,no new . evidence was elicited. Who was the father of , the child and how the infant was disposed of, were pretty clearly made out, but the magistrates thought there was no evidence of con spiracy. It as a disgraceful case, they said, but there was not evidence sufficient to establish a criminal intent. The offenders must be left to the punishment of their own consciences, for the law could not take hold of the offence. TRAVELLING.--Professor Lowe, of New York, who gave out last year that he intended to make a trip to Europe in his mammoth air-ship, has written to the Charleston papers stating that ho had been compelled, through unforeseen circumstances connected with the me chanical apparatus and other equipments of the ship, to postpone his first experiment in venal navigation until the spring of the year, when he intended to solve the problem. He had been engaged for some time past in examining the upper currents, and had ascertained a current setting from west to east as reliable as the Gulf Stream. He was now seeking to'cliscover a return current from east to west, in the existence of which he had a strong faith. SINGULAR BEATH OF A THIEF.—One of the Custom-house officers, near the Waterloo Dock, Liverpool, noticed, on Saturday, a man running away from the James R Keeler. The officer's suspicions were aroused by the fact that the body of the man appeared unnaturally bulky, and, grappling the runaway, they had a tough and despe rate struggle on the margin of the dock. Ultimately the supposed smuggler, or thief, eluded the grasp of the officer, and plunged headlong into the dock. He disappeared be neath the water, and, though the officer sought anxiously, did not rise again. When the body was at length ieco vered it was found that no less than thirteen sheets of cop per had been wrapped round it. In the pockets of the de ceased were 41 is, 6d., and tylarge clasp knife, T.iis name is unkowni COAL. Mr. HORSMAN gave notice of his intention to move for the omission of the 11th article relating to coal from the commercial treaty with France. (Opposition cheers.) THE BALLOT. MR. H. BERKELEY gate notice that, on the 22d inst., he would move that, in future, the election of mem bers to serve in Parliament should be taken by ballot. (Hear, hear.) LUNACY (SCOTLAND) AND REFORM (SCOT • LAND). Mr. STIRLING asked the Lord Advocate, in the ab sence of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce into Parliament, in the present session, any Bill to amend the Lunacy (Scotland) Act. He also asked why the Reform Bill for Scotland had not been placed in the hands of members up to this time, notwithstanding that the Reform Bills for England and Iseland had already been r rinted and issued. Sir G. C. LE WIS said, with respect to the first ques tion, that a bill on the subject alluded to was under the con sideration of the Lord Advocate, and would shortly be in troduced. Some . delay had unavoidably arisen with respect to .4 the bill, but it - would be placed in the hands of hon. members to-morrow. CAVALRY OFFICERS. In reply to Sir 11. STRACEY, Mr. S. HERBERT said that questions and answers on this subject would not make the house wiser, as the matter was very intricate and unintelligible. A cavalry officer not having received the difference in question, would not be obliged to pay the same. LORD COWLEY'S DESPATCH.—SAVOY AND NICE. Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table the despatch from Lord Cowley, relative to the annexation of Savoy and Nice, which had been moved for on the 24th Jan. last. Sir J. WALSH wished to ask the noble lord whether it was intended to produce any additional papers which had been received by Government on this subject ? Lord J. RUSSELL was not prepared to say that the papers alluded to were in a state to be laid on the table at present. Mr. DISRA.ELI asked whether the private letter of Lord Cowley would be produced ? Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not then inform the right hon. gentleman. SALE AND PURCHASES OF AR IY SIONS. Sir DE LACY EVANS moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be gra ciously pleased to order the gradual abolition, as soon as practicable, of the sale and purchase of commissions in the army. The hon. and gallant member addressed the house at some length, but in a tone quite inaudible in the gallery. He was understood to contend that the sale and purchase of every commission should be discontinued; but that fie did not propose to effect the same in a manner which would call for any great sacrifice on the part of the Legislature. He was understood to rofer to Prance, where commissions were not obtained by purchase, and to our artillery, where the same sybtorn prevailed, and to contrast the latter with the cavalry, showing the result to be in favour of the superior efficiency under the non-purchase system.

THE COMMERCIAL TREATY.----SAVOY AND NICE. Lord.PA.LMERSTON—Trise, sir, to make the Motion vif which I gave notice,—That the other orders of the der be postponed till after the motion for en address to her Ma -1 jesty on the treaty with France; and I take this opportu nity of making an appeal to my hen. friend the member for Sunde.iland, who bas .given notice of au addition to the in tended address. That addition relates to the differential duties on shipping—a matter that may very fairly be brOught under the consideration of this house. But it would, I think, be undesirable 1,1 insert it in an address ap proving the treaty, which does not touch the question of those duties. And if my hon. friend would be kind enough to separate the two subjects, and take the discussion on his proposal on another day, I undertake on the part of the Government to assist him in obtaining an opportunity of bringing it on before Easter ; which I suppose will be suffi cient for his purpose. I therefore now move the postpone ment of the other orders. Mr. LINDSAY could not answer the noble lord's appeal until he had himself; in turn, made an appeal to the hon. member for Middlesex (Mr. Byng.) That hon. gentleman had given notice of motion for an address respecting the treaty with France' but the terms of that address were not before the house. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) It was usual on so important a matter that the house should be in possession of the words of the address at least one clear day before they were called upon to discuss it. (Hear, hear.) The terms of the address itself not being before the house, of course the terms of his own proposed addition to it were not before the house either. They, could therefore have no opportunity of judging whether the words he pro posed to add were consistent with the address, and should be discussed in conjunction with it, or whether they should form the subject of a separa'e and substantive motion. He thought the words which he wished to add ought to be dis cussed at the same time as the 'address to her 'Majesty. —(hear, hear, from the Oppposition)—hecause the noble lord forgot that the 3d article of the treaty distinctly re ferred to British shipping, specifying that the diff.rential dutiei levied by France against the shipping of England en tering her ports were in nowise to Le altered. (Hear, hear.) If therefore he trim whether or not they were to defer the discussion of the address until its terms were regularly be fore the house he would be better able to respond to the noble lord's appeal. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KINGLAKE rose to state very briefly the grounds on which he intended to oppose the motion of the noble viscount. At an unusually late hour for notices of motion on Friday night—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition)—and after a vary extraordinary speech from the hon. member fOr Birmingham, the noble viscount at the head of the Govern meat gave notice of this present motion, and requested, as it seemed, the hon. member for Middlesex to give notice of the address the discussion of which they were now called, upon to accelerate by that motion. The very preamble of the treaty which they were asked to sanction began by de daring that it was the object of the high contracting parties to draw closer the tics of frielship which united the two peoples. Now, they would be trifling with that great sub 4ect and taking part in the emptiest of all imaginable forms if they consented to enter on the questio i presented to their attention without having a far more accurate knowledge than they now had t , f the rola ions really subsisting be tween this country and France. (Hear, hear, from the Op position.) As lately as Tuesday last the noble lord who Was the constitutional exponent of the views and opinions of her Majesty's Government on foreign affairs stated in that house with a frankness which was characteristic of him, that if the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice should unfortu nately be persisted in the Emperor of the French would expose himself to the distrust sal hostility of Earope. (Hear, hear.) On the day when the noble lord made that statement he had himself been pr•ssed to postpone his motion, tat ha had persevered in going on with it because he knew that in this matter time was vital. (Hear, hear.) And it so happened that within -JO hours of the moment at which the noble lord the Foreign Secretary made that statement the Emperor of the Punch pronounced a speech from the throne, which seemed, as far as he could under , . stand its somewhat ambiguous phraseology to place the great empire of France in a position of something like antagonism to this country. (Hear, hear.) One portion of the nor m's speech was, he thought, perfectly unexceptionable iu its tone and language; and if he could only bring himself to believe that that part of the. speech represented the real views of his Majesty he would not now be endeavouring to postpone the hon. member for Middlesex's motion. The Emperor said : " This reassertion of a claim to a territory of small extent has nothing in it of a nature to alarm Europe and give a denial to the policy of disinterestedness which I have pro claimed more than once, for France does not wish to pro ceed to this aggrandisement, however small it may be, either by military occupation or by provoked insurrection, or by underhand manoeuvres, but by frankly explaining the ques • tion to the Great Powers."

Buccaneer was decidedly first favourite for both the Two Thousand and Derby; for the first-mentioned event he was backed with a degree of spirit which rapidly secured him the advantage of half a point over The Wizard, and for the Derby 9 to 1 was taken about him, odds which were offered against Mainstone. 10 to 1 was offered against Umpire.

But he found that in' other_passages his Majesty spoke of the proposal for annexing Savoy as though it were a-matter resulting from some right possessed by the Emperor of the French. The Emperor also appealed to one of the most dangerous principles to which any potentate could appeal—viz., the principle of natural boundaries. (Hear, hear.) Now, one plain sentence might remove a ll the obscurity which hung upon that question; let it be said that the determination to consult the Great Powers of Europe meant that which any plain man would understand when he spoke of consulting another. Let it only be understood that France would not proceed to this annexation without the assent of the other Great. Powers, and then they would all enter on the discussion of that commercial treaty in a spirit that would conduce to the peace and tranquillity of Europe It, however, so happened that rumour rather reported those questionable portions of the Imperial speech whi eh spoke of the proposed annexation as a matter of neces sity. and left them less room than they would like for he lieving that the fair and courteous expressions contained in -uthe, „c.o the - t...e indication ofo the Eloper, r's meaning. As a ground for postponing the debate on which they were now invited to enter he must beg the house to remember that from July to the present time two negotia tions, or, to speak more accurately, one negotiation and One discussion, had been going on simultaneously. Ire eluded, first, to-the negotiation with respect to the commercial treaty, which had ripened into the instrument with which they were now acquainted. But, unfortunately, the discus sion relating to the proposed annexation of Savoy seemed— as far as he could judge from the hasty perusal of the core respondence which the late delivery of the papers had per mitted him to bestow upon them—to have dragged on anti reached an unfavourable phase precisely after that period when our assent to the commercial treaty was obtained. (Hear.) It was of- -the utmost importance that the house should have had the opportunitynot only of glancing at these papers, but of reading them, and carefully collecting their meardng—(bear, hear) —before they were celled upon to ex press an opinion upon the commercial,treaty. When he spoke of the opinion which they might express wit is regard to that treaty he did not refer so much to the vote to which the house might be invited to come as to that plainer and clearer expression of opinion which might perhaps be collected in the course of the debate. It being of the utmost import ance that in the approaching discussion of this treaty they should have a clear view of the relations actually eubsistine; between this country and France—(hear, hear)'—he hoped that the house -would not depart front its ordinary course, of proceeding, or, by the vote for which the noble lord had asked, aeselerate • the consideration of this address. Had the question come ou in its ordinary course, he should have felt very touch disposed to submit to the con,Aderation of the house someamendmentivhichmight have given the,, an opportunity of deciding whether they ought nut to have better means than they now possessed of forming an Opinion upon this subject Mere they voted an address to the Crown. (1.1 - ear.) 9.s it was, it of course followed that he must oppoe3 the motion of the noble lord, as one which tended to accele rate the consideration of a question which, in his opinion, was not ripe for discussion. (Hear, hear.) and houseßrld g t e h ‘ta t e h r e , havingt f h e e r u a t i n b d ( e i e e r t n l u a appealedntdhae to his it hen.was Mr.f onlyi ß c 2. . s ;' r Get respectful eficOt membersf u th l at o,1:17 should answer that appeal in the shortest possible manner. It the house generally - was anxious to see. the terms of the motion in which he should have the honour of proposing that an address should b e presented to her Majesty approv ing the commercial treaty with France, he would postpone moving that address until Thursday—(hear, hear)—and would in the meantime place upon the paper the exact turns in which he should propose it. (Hear, hear.) As he was sure that his hon. friend the member for Bridgewater would not wish him to go into a long discussion of foreign affairs, ho would only say that he understood a fortnight ago front the Chancellor of the Exchequer that it was intended that an address of this kind should be proposed at the earliest posiible moment after the house had in committee approved the various reductions of the Customs' duties. It was on that account only that he had given notice of his intenCon to make this proposal to the house, and if it was the general wish thattho motion should be postponed to Thursday next, he would accede to that desire. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON.—In accordanCe with what lies in fallen from v hon. friend (Mr. Byng) , and whe.tis. d e.r 1 . ; dently the wish of the house, I beg l eave to withdraw- the motion which I have made. 1 will only say, in which took expla nation, that in the course of the discussions ' us stages of this matter I stated, place upon the prow iu deference to what we believed to be the general wish of the house, that at the earliest mo ment after the resolutionsh a d been gone through and reported au address would befthe pro posed to the house in confirmation and approval o treaty in gene al has been. al ; therefore, if the course which p ursu ed appears to hon. members to have been more sud den and rapid than usual, it was adopted in deference to what we supposed to be the wishes of t he house. The right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Diszali), the lion , member for Sunderland, and another active m ember of this house were in possession of the words of the address yes terda y , or certainly this morning. I beg leave to withdraw the motion for the postponement of the orders. Mr. ROEBUCK asked the hon. member for Middlesex whether he would, before Thursday, lay on the table the words of the address. Mr. BYNG replied that he would do so that evening. Mr. DISRAELI—I have always understood that the earliest moment convenient for taking into consideration any matter of importance is the earliest moment consistent with the house having the opportunity of consideration. j ant very glad that the Government have changed Lheir course, because I do net think that the members of this house would have had an opportunity for consideration if they had been called upon to vote an address to the Crown w ith which they had not, speaking generally, had any o pportunity of becoming acquaint e d . Nor wa s the Colll'6B originally adopted by her Majesty's Ministers consistent, with the usual custom of this house, because on the last occasion of similar importance which I can recall—viz., when the treaty o f peace 'with Russia was concluded—. notice of an address .to the Crown_ was given on Mon day fur that day week, and upon the Saturday f llow:ng the language of the address was laid upon the table, so that net only had we a week's notice of the intention of the Govern • nient, but we had also 43 hours' notice of the language of • the intended address. That is a precedent which I am sure none of us will question, and of which I ane sure that you, sir, will approve, because I believe that the gentleman who moved that address was Mr. Evelyn Denison. As the noble lord has referred to my being in possession of the langeage of the proposed address, I cannot but say that it appears to me that her Majesty's Ministers, with a desire to conclude this business Which is hardly well considered, have followed the,precedent of Mr. Pitt's time, without refleeting that the circumstances of the two cases are, owing to the course which they have followed, very different. .In the address which lion. gentlemen will see upon the paper to-morrow, having expressed our dutyand satisfaction ,weererequested kto go on to say, " We shall proceed tv take mcb, gels es :,-,- ~
