The case must proceed. , Mrs. Somerset, the wife of the last witness, identified the watch as her property. The crest in it had been partly obliterated, but it was still very plain. Police-constable, 256 V, arrested the prisoner and found on his person the watch, purse, pencil-case, and other things which had been identified by Col. Somerset as his property. The Common Sergeant informed the prisoner that was the case against him, and having summed up the evidence, The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Lewis said a depositor's book in a savings bank was found, in which the prisoner had £BO standing in his name. The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor about two years, during which small sums of money and articles of clothing had been missed. The prosecutor com plained of the constant thefts that were taking place, and prisoner advised Col. Somerset to be very careful, as he (pri soner) thought there were dishonest servants in the house. Several servants had been dismissed on his surmises, and there was reason now to believe that they were perfectly honest. Anther circumstance which greatly aggravated the robbery was that, on the voyage from Gibraltar to Lon don, Col. Somerset gave a travelling bag into his possession, telling him to take great owe of it, as it contained valuables to the amount of £7O. On his arrival in England the pri soner declared the hag had been stolen, as it could not be found, and there was every reason to believe that he was the thief. And as compared with the month ending the 9th of April 1859, the above returns show an i ncrease o f £131 , 589 in the circulation .of notes in England, and an increase of £377,762 in the circulation of the United Kingdom. private banks are below their fixed On comparing the . above . with the fixed issues of the save.. ral banks the following is the state of the circulation .............................

THE CENSUS.—BiIIs are passing through Parlia ment for taking the census in 1861. The English bill con tains a new requirement, that every person shall state what is his religious profession. Objection has been taken to this in some quarters, and it is said that many persons will find it difficult to range themselves. The Irish bill avoids bring ing the point before Parliament by directing generally that an account shall be taken of all such particulars as the Secretary for Ireland shall indicate. The council of the Statistical Sociaty recommend that it be left optional whether an answer shall be given to the inquiry respecting religious profession, and they also suggest that some particulars be collected of the character (as well as the number) of the dwellings of the population, and that an effort be made to institute a decennial return of some kind of agricultural statistics, and to collect information respecting the income of charitable and beneficent societies and institutions, such as exist in nearly every parish and in connection With every place of worship. [ADVERTISEMENT.] — HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Domestic Remedies.—There are two periods (specially in woman's life, which require, for safe passage, judgment and attention. Irregularity is apt at those critical times to take place and to lay the foundation of future disease. Holloway's; Ointment well rubbed over the defective organs will soon restore them to the full performance of their natural functions, and completely r e li eve th e s ystem of these first seeds of disease. The Pills, safe in anon, and effective in result, should be likewise taken, as they contribute materially to the ointment's efficiency. The proper use of these domestic remedies prevents nervous ness, hysteria, erysipelas, dropsy, and a host of similar and often serious disorders. By expelling all impurities they maintain a clear silky complexion. £5,202,404 Being a decrease of £168,781, as compared with the previous return, and an increase of £288,309 w h en com p are d with the corresponding period of last year. The Great Britain has arrived from Melbourne after a quick passage of 62 days, with 47,472 ounces of gold, worth about.Ll9o,ooo. .• THE YORKSHIRE WOOLLEN TRADE.—III their annual report, presented to a general meeting of the mem bers on Thurday last, the council of the Chamber of Com merce of Batley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, state their opinion that the question of whether the Frenoh Go vernment shall fix the import duties on woollens on the ad valorem or on the specific principle is one of vital im_port ance to the woollen manufacturers of that district, and that every effort should be used to secure the assessment of the duties on the ad valorem principle. They declare that a specific duty will virtually exclude the woollens of the dis trict which the chamber represents. The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said it was a most aggravated case of robbing. The prisoner had not only been the cause of others being suspected of dishonesty, but he (the learned Judge) had been informed that he had contrived to introduce his wife into the service of Col. Somerset as a single woman, and had induced her, no doubt, from other circumstances that had come to his knowledge, also to commit robbery. The prisoner was then sentenced to six years' penal servitude. After another short trial had been disposed of, Mr. Ribton said—lt would perhaps be more respectful to the Court if I explained, that it was of the prosecution that I so loudly complained, and not of the course taken by your lordship. I think it respectful to inform your lordship that it is my intention to refer the matter to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as the man was vir tually undefended. The Common Sergeant--You cm do whatever you please. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND.—The annual ac count of this fund has been made up. It shows that in 1859 pensions amounting to £4,643 fell in, and new pen sions to the amount of £3,922 were granted. The pen sioners now upon the fund are 21,406 in number, and the annual amount of their pensions is £.>58,631. Of the pen sioners, 5,696 have been masters or seamen, 10,843 are widows, and 4,867 children. ace us rge ay- r,- r of waa LINES LEASED AT FIXED RE stock Railways, Bedford and Bletchley all Ln &N.W . • Buckinghamshire .... 100 Ln & N.W 97 99 Chester & Holyhead..

GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST, Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that on an early day he should call the attention of the house to the distur bances in the parish of St. George's-in- the-East. CHURCH RATES. Petitirms against the abolition of church rates were pre sented by the Earl of Cawdor, Lord Faversham, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and several other peers. Lord BROUGHAM also presented a petition against the unconditional abolition of church rates. DUCHY OF CORNWALL BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, which was one for defining the rights of the Duchy of Cornwall. The bill, after a few remarks from Lord VrVIAN and Lord ST. LEONARDS, was read a second time. BANKRUPTCY LAW OF SCOTLAND AMEND MENT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the sezond readingof this bill, the object of which was to prevent persons who had been resident in England having sequestrations served out in their own names in Scotland after a residence there of forty days. The effect of such a proceeding was, the creditors were put to the expense of attending an exami nation of such persons in a distant part of the country, or allowing them to pars without opposition. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord CHELMSFORD, the bill was read a second time. PAWNBROKERS' ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee without amendment. ALTERATION OF THE PRAYER-BOOK. Lord EBURY rose to meve the following resolution : " That it is the opinion of this house that, whereas the particulars forms of Divine worship, and the rights and ceremonies appointed to be used therein, being things in their own nature so indifferent and alterable, and so aunowledged, it is but reasonable that upon weighty and important considerations, according to tits various exigencies of times and occasions, such changes and alterations should be made therein as to those that are placed in authority should from time to time seem either necessary or expedient. And wereas the books of canons are fit to be reviewed and made more suitable to the state of the Church. And whereas it is desirable, as far as may be, to re move all unnecessary barriers to an union of the people in the matters of public worship. And also that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, pray ing her Majesty to be pleased to appoint a com mission to prepare such alterations and amendments in the canons j and Book of Common Prayer as to them may appear desirable ; and to consider of such other matters as in their judgments may most con duce to the ends above mentioned. The noble lord bring ing forward the subject said he was sensible of the great importance of the subject and of his own inadequacy to deal with it, and he therefore trusted that his shortcomings would be overlooked by their lordships. The object of the commission, if it should be appointed, was not to alter a single word in the Prayer-book, but it was simply proposed to give power to inquire into the subject. (Hear.) Ho was afraid he could not owing to the extreme importance, spare their lordships the infliction of another speech, because it was two years since he had last brought the subject forward, and many of their lordships present that evening might have forg tten many of the arguments he then used. The principal object he had in view was that the services of the Church of England should be fully renewed, and then any alterations that might be suggested could be fully considered. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(Tins EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The North Eastern Railway (Extension of Time, &c.) Bill was read a third time.

Mr. Alderman SALMONS moved an address for copies of any correspondence between different Departments of her Majesty's Government on the subject of conveying soldiers' wives and children in the Accrington transport ship to India ; and of the report of, and any correspondence with, her Majesty's Consul at Pernambuco on the mortality on board the Accrington, and the circumstances which caused the ve sel to put into that p rt. THE lIOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Sir F. KELLY asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, whether he had received the report of Sir Roderick Mur chison and Professor Faraday on the processes for preserv ing the external stonework of the Houses of Parliament, and whether ho had any objection to lay the same before the house, together with copies of the instructions or minutes of reference to those gentlemen, and any corres pondence, not already before the house, which had passed between the Board of Works and the respective patentees, the referees, or Sir Charles Barry. Mr. CO W PER said he had received the reports of Sir Roderic Murchison and Professor Faraday relative to the external stonework of the Houses of Parliament. He did not, however, feel at liberty to lay the same on the table, as they were not intended for publicity, but merely for his information. He was quite prepared t o take on himself the responsibility of acting on these reports. He would readily lay on the table the papers respecting the patentees and referees. DISTURBANCES IN NEW ZEALAND. Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any authentic intelligence had been received with respect to the disturbances reported to have occurred between certain native tribes in the pro vince of Taranaki, in New Zealand, through a disputed land claim connected with the movement in favour of a na tive King, and in consequence of which Capt. Murray, com manding a detachment of the 65th Foot, had proclaimed martial law, and that her Majesty's ship Niger had left Auckland for the scene of action with considerable rein forcements ; and whether there was reason to believe that these disturbances would not spread beyond the province? Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the governor of the colony had gone to New Plymouth with a strong detachment of troops, and was acting vigorously in respect to the diffi culties that had arisen, but there was every reason to be lieve that tranquillity would be shortly re-established. REMOVAL OF BRIGADIER IN NES. Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India, what were the grounds for the removal of Brigadier Innes from his command as Brigadier at Ferozepore in May, 1857, after the perfect approbation of the Commander-in- Chief had been conveyed, in the Adjutant-General's letter of the 19th of the same month, to that officer, for the judg ment, vigour, and decision with which he had acted at tke commencement of the mutiny in Bengal I' Sir C. WOOD said he did not consider the question a proper one to be put in that house ; but he would state that the Indian Government hed removed the officers in ques tion, because they thought it was desirable at the time to do so. GRAVES OF BRITISH OFFICERS AND MEN IN THE CRIMEA. Lord BURGHLEY sked the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs, whether, in consequence of the remonstrance of her Majesty's Government, any promise or security had b_en given by the Russian Government that the graves of the officers and men of the British army, who are interred tho Crimea, shall be protected and held sacred in future ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Government of Russia had been remonstrated with in respect to the matter in January, Much, and April, and had promised full enquiry into the subject. They stated that they had every desire to maintain those graves in a decent manner, but there were some difficulties in dealing with the matter in conse quence of the graves being scattered. The Government of this country had instructed the British Consul at Odessa to attend to those graves, and had granted him £lOO a-year for that purpose. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Leave of absence was granted to Mr. JORN H. GURNEY, for a week, from ill health ; and to Mr. MUTT, for a fort night, on the ground of domestic affliction. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c., IRELAND. Lord HAAS, in moving for leave to bring in a bill for securing tho registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland, drew attention to the very anomalous state of Ireland in reference to registration. That country, Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Hungary were the only countries where adequate arrangements for registration were not provided by law. He proposed to extend the registration of marriages in Ireland to persons married according to the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church, and he proposed to make the constabulary a principal agent in carrying out the general registration. The noble lord then proceeded to discuss the details of this bill, which were identical with the measure which the noble lord had intro duced in a previous session. Mr. CARDWELL expressed great pleasure at the noble lord having resumed his efforts to place this subject on a satisfactory footing. He .ntirely concurred with the notle lord as to the great importance of a proper system of regis tration in Ireland, from the absence of which much hard ship was inflicted on persons of the poorer class in that country, who were unable to prove their title to pro- perty of wealthy relatives who might have died abroad. He hoped the present session would not pass without a bill on that subject being passed. The matter had been care fully considered in Ireland, and there were other plans proposed which differed in some points from that of the noble lord and it was thought advisable by some persons whose attention had been directed to the subject, that the same system which prevailed !n Scotland should be introduced into Ireland, and he would ask pet mission of the house to lay on the table a bill on the subject, which, with the measure of the noble lord, would be submitted to the consideration of the house. He would be happy to afford all the assistance to the passing of a bill. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. PORTPATRICK AND DONAGHADEE HAR- BOURS. General UPTON moved for a select committee to in quire into the truth of the allegations contained in the petition of the Ayr and kaybole Junction Rail way Company, presented in August last, and printed in the eleventh report of the Select Committoe on Public Peti tions, Appendix 202, relative to the application of the grant. for Portpatrick and Donaghadee Harbours. Mr. LAING entered into some explanation relative to the steps which had been previously adopted in regard to Portpatrick and Drogheda harbours, and said that he felt bound to oppose this motion. The hon. gentleman de fended the conduct of Mr. Wilson in reference to this matter. After a few words from Colonel DUNE, Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY said that he considered Go vernment had not acted properly in respect to this subject. Originally in 1856 there were two lines of railway to be con structed, but in 1857 that contract was altered, and only one line of railway was to be made. The parties interested in the Northern line felt themselves aggrieved, and he suggested that further money should be withheld until the original contract was carried out. Mr. DUNLOP thought that the whole question had been concluded by the vote of last year. He oensidered also that the country had not got the benefit they were entitled to from the money granted. The SPEAKER then put the motion, which was negatived without a division. FACTORY BOY APPOINTMENTS EXAMINA TION (PORTSMOUTH.) Mr. BENTINCK moved for ccpies of the examination papers and answers thereto by the candidates for the ap pointment of factory boys before the Civil Service Commis sioners at Portsmouth in January. The hon. member founded his motion on a case in which he considered much injustice had been inflicted on one of the candidates. (LEFT SPEARING.)

WALTER AND MR. HORSMAN. PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr. WALTER said,—Sir, I rise to move the adjourn. ment of the house for the purpose of making a pummel ex planation. lam extremely reluctant to trouble the house upon a p ersonal matter, but I conceive that it has a right to be informed of any circumstance affecting the position and independence of one of its members, and, as I have reason to complain of an attempt which has been made by the right hon. member for Stroud to place me in a false po sition as a member of this house, and to impair my freedom of reeech, I venture to ask its indulgence for a few moments while I state the nature of my complaint, and I feel confi de] it that, when it has heard my statement, it will be of opi nion that no other course was left open to me than that wh !eh I have pursued. Sir, on Monday evening last I ven tured to address the house in the debate on the Reform Bill, and! can the following Wednesday I received from the right hon. member for Stroud the following letter, which, as it cont sins the reasons for an attack which the hon. member into Wed to make upon me in this house, though ciroum stances prevented him from fulfilling that intention, I will take the liberty of reading to the house. I was the more sur i nised at this letter, because, up to the moment when I rete,ived it, I had no reason to suppose that my relatii)n •
