CITY, Two °Timex. The accounts from most of the manufacturing districts mention that during the past week there has been very little alteration of importance in the principal branches of trade. At Leeds the manufac• turers were well amployed, and the fabrics chiefly in demand were light goods suitable for the spring demand. Piece goods at Bradford have been inac tive, but a fair amount of business has been done In yarns on home account, and at Manchester prices have been firm for India goods, although other de scriptions have been neglected. At Leicester and Nottingham a moderate business has been recorded in the cotton and worsted hosiery branches, but the lace trade continued dull. More activity has pre vailed at Birmingham, and the accounts from the iron districts of South Staffordshire are favourable. At Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Walsall there has been a slight improvement in most departments of business. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a moderate amount of business was transacted, and prices exhibited no change of importance. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Mar ket closed with a rather quiet appearance, and quo tations tended downwards. Small quantities of gold continue to be with drawn from the Bank of England, £B,OOO having been sent away on Saturday. The Oneida has arrived this morning with £28,500 from the Brazils. The commercial engagements due on Saturday, the 4th being Sunday, were met in a satisfactory manner, and although the necessary preparations stimulated the demand for accommodation, the discount market already presents a quieter appear. ance. Full rates are still charged for negotiating mercantile bills, but the best descriptions are taken on terms a fraction below the Bank minimum, and the trading classes find no difficulty in obtaining all the assistance they require, because there is still an abundant supply of capital awaiting invest ment. Rather higher terms have to be paid for advances in the Stock Exchange, several extensive loans having been called in during the past week. The English Stock Market remains in a heavy condition, owing to speculative operations for a de cline. As the effect of these sales is not counter acted by purchases for investment, the Funds tend downwards, and a heavy tone also pervades the other departments of business. Consols are 941.3 for money and the Bth inst., and 94 for April. The market, although flatter, remains in a very quiet state.

Hides, tallow, and wool were ruling very high. Exchange lower. Dis count . 1 - 4 to 1 per cent. Trade was generally dull at Buenos Ayres in imports. Exports were lively, and sales readily effected at high prices. Saladeros produceengage• meats heavy, without improvement in rates. Very little wool was being shipped. To Antwerp ship ments were falling off', the bulk of the wool being engaged. Dry hides were scarce. Freights con tinued low, and shipping abundant. Exchange declining. At Rio de Janeiro a rumour of a change in the Ministry existed. THE COUNTESS GRANYILLE.—We regret to say that for the last two days the Countess Granville has been in most imminent danger at her temporary residence at Brighton. On Friday morning a decided change for the worse took place, and it is feared that no hopes can be now entertained of even distant recovery. The last accounts on Saturday were unfavourable, and yesterday evening, at a late hour, the accounts from Brighton were that her lady ship was in a very weak condition, and that her dissolution was hourly expected. Earl Granvillo is in constant attend ance at the bedside of his devoted wife, and it is owing to the sad affliction of her illness that he has been absent from his place in the House of Lords at the close of the past week.

For most kinds Yhs demand ruled active, yet prices ruled somewhat steady. There was a fair inquiry for barley, at late currencies. Oats and all other articles moved off freely, at very full prices. Throughout the continent wheat has changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms. Spring corn has realised extreme rates. In the United States, produce has con tinued firm, although very little has been passing for export to England. 1185 G. 1858. 1859. I 1860.

The imports from abroad amounted to 490 qrs. of wheat, 10,530 barley, 5,669 oats, 670 beans, 1,519 tares, 604 linseed, 10,041 rapeseed, 1,000 maize, 160 sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 7,108 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, the arrivals of wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were only mode rate; but the general condition of the samples was tolerably good. Fine dry qualities were disposed of without difficulty, at last Monday's quotations; but low and damp parcels moved off heavily, at about previous currencies. Millers showed no disposition to get into stock. _ _ _ We wero again well supplied with foreign wheat, almost wholly ex- granary. The amount of business doing in all kinds was limited ; nevertheless no change took place in prices. A fair average business was passing in floating cargoes, at full quotations. I The ;how of barley was very limited, and most kinds were in fair request, at full quotations. Malt, however, sold slowly, at about last week's prices. The few oats on offer were steady in price, but the de mand for them was by no means active. Beans came rather more freely to hand, and the demand for them was rather heavy, at barely stationary prices. In peas very little was doing, at late rates. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. CURRENCY PER IMPIiRTIL MEASYRE.

Last week the " resuscitated " Lincoln Meeting found them busily employed with book and pencil, and this week they will have little breathing time. While these remarks slip from my pen, turfites are already en route to Liverpool, where they will resume their diversions to-morrow, and immediately on the conclusion of the Ain tree sport they will be posting in - hot haste to i Shrewsbury in the hopes of partaking of the quan tity of good things provided for them by Mr. Frail. Expectations are entertained that at both meetings the supply of sport will be ample, and the racing exciting —and these expectations are not likely to be disappointed. A more attractive programme has been seldom issued by Mr. Topham for his spring venture at Liverpool, and as horses have of late been able to resume active work, the fields will doubtless be satisfactorily large, According to his Lincoln running Tormentor ought, not only to win the Spring Cup, but win it in a canter. His most dan • gerous opponents will be perhaps Jenny Longlegs and Uncle Ned ;—the mare has shown form this season, and the colt possesses`a good reputation, his prestige being increased by the force in which his stable showed at Nottingham. Still lam disin clined to doubt TORMENTOR. He is also engaged in the Aintree Plate, for which I should scarcely think he would put in an appearance. In dealing with the probabilities for this race, how ever, I must make a reservation in his favour. Mr. Hughes's lot for the 40 Sovs. Plate includes New Brighton, Chantress, and Juliet, and whichever starts will win. My preference is for the old horse. The many disgraceful proceedings which have of late marked Steeplechases have scarcely dimi nished the popularity of the Grand National. By mere holiday folk the encounter will perhaps be regarded wih more excitement than usual, for the field is likely to be numerous. The following are mentioned as being the most likely to brave the accidents by flood and field : st. lb. Brunette l2 0 Horniblow - Goldsmith Redwing Bridegroom Tease Sir Robert lO 2 - Xanthus lO 2 ..

Mr. Bevill. Venison . Link goy Speculation on the race has recently revived, and has been pursued with much activity. Still I am inclined to believe that it will undergo many changes before the flag drops. Brunette has proved herself to be a great mare across country, and although I expect to see her run well, yet it must be confessed that " she is askedto do too much" to win a Grand National with a weight which would even satisfy the exaggerated notions of Lord Redesdale. Horn iblow is too slow to have a chance. Goldsmith will certainly take a prominent part; he has speed and is a good fencer and may renew the luck of Ben Land. The next that attract attention are Tease and Xanthus—of the twain I prefer the latter. Jealousy is under suspicion, ani, indeed, the trio just mentioned belong to a large party whose intentions and tactics are somewhat puz zling. Indeed, to use the language applied by the Poet Laureate to a certain illustrious personage, "only the Devil knows what they mean." Telegram has been of late very un steady; but, if well, he will be bad to beat. Green is always fashionable. Could I calculate upon a start I should be induced to place some trust in Roscom mon. Westminster must not be slighted. In selecting Xanthus and Anatis, however, I do not think I shall be very wide of the mark. For the St Eton Handicap a large field will be brought out, and as so many horses entered for it are also engaged for the Spring Cup, I shall decline the task of indicating the winner. My present fancy certainly leads towards Tormentor. A FRESH MAN.

From our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning was again very moderate. There was, however, a slight improvement in the condition of most breeds, compared with Monday last. On the whole the beef trade ruled firm, and, in some instances, the beat Scots and crosses produced an advance of 2d per 81bs. The value of other breeds was well supported. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,408 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland 130 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 170 oxen and heifers. 60 We were again scantily supplied with sheep. On the whole the mutton trade ruled firm. In prices, however, no change took place. The shorn sheep—about 2,200 in num ber—sold at Sd per 81bs beneath those in the wool. The show of lambs was very limited; nevertheless, the demand was heavy, at from 6s to 68 8d per 81bs. The few calves in the market sold without difficulty, at full quotations.

Y.Y.C. on the THE INCONE TAX. TO TAE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. SIR,—You have again earned the gratitude of the people, and afresh earned the title of the "People's Paper," by your recent animadversions on the most iniquitous property and income tax. In this re spect you honourably stand almost alone. Your con temporaries, of almost every grade, are not manly enough to condemn what they feel is a gross injus tice to the middle classes of society. it presses very heavily on all whose incomes vary from £l5O to £5OO per annum. I remember when that lying prophet, the late Sir Robert Peel, induced Parlia ment to adopt this tax, ha said, " I take your money from one pocket to put it into the other pocket. " Never was a man more mistaken in his conclusions than Sir Robert Peel ; for what was the fact. Every necessary of life advanced, as well as shoes and wearing apparel. Mr. ,Gladstone makes a great flourish of trumpets on the success of the scheme, and therefore he endeavours to complete waat Sir Robert Peel began. But, I ask, what are the proofs of success ? You say, more we have exported ; but who is the better for this ? Not the poor labourer, with his Bs. or 12s.,weekly ; n o t th e s h opman , th e clerk, th e small tradesman, or those with small in comes. All these classes at e worse off than when Sir Robert Peel tampered with the revenue. Those only who have profited are the cotton manufac turers, the merchant, the shipowners, the landed nobility and squirearchy, from the greatly increased value of land. lam sure I can speak from expe rience that my £350 per annum does not go so far as it did before the advent of Sir Robert Peel and his imitators to power. What is the use of in creased free trade if the great body of the people are worse off than before ? and why should they be made to suffer in order to put money into the pockets of the cotton lords, merchants, the shipping and landed interests ? For my part, I consider all Gladstone's hopes delusive ; they are not such as to warrant this breach of public faith. Why not pr.t a tax on the export of coals ? If all who have votes would withhold them from such members of Par liament as vote for that iniquitous tax we might hope to see it abolished. I, fur one, will not vote for a member who advocates this tax. Cheap wine may be bought too dear. Why should our many small domestic artisans be thrown out of work by the introduction of French and German toys, &c.? The thousands in our poorhouses and prisons are some of the fruits of Sir Robert l sPeel's schemes ; thus our local taxes are increased in the same ratio with our public burdens and increased dearness of everything which enters into domestic use. Our Government is too expensive ; if it was less expen sive, and men of business entrusted with the Go vernment, instead of aristocratic red-tapists, we might save money from their wasteful extrava gance to meet every emergency, without injuring the body of the people.—l am, Sir, yours, A CONS PANT READER. Bath, March 3. "PACT'S." TO TUE EDITOR OF TUE SUN. SlR, —The following statistics were adduced by the Duke of Brabant, the other day, before the Belgian Senate : England exported of her own manufacture in 1840 Do. do. in 1858 .. 127 per cent. increase under Free Trade. France exported of her own manufacture in 1840 Do. do. in 1858 £27,300,000 79,200,000 156 per cent. increase under Protection. Belgium exported of her own manufacture in 1840 Do, do. in 1858 J 2Ol per cent. increase under Protection. It appears, therefore, that England, with her boasted Free Trade, is making less progress in the sale of her pro duco than Franco and Belgium.---Yours obediently, March 2, 1860. I CAUTION.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. Lord CARNA.RVON presented a petition from the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, praying for the repeal of the eighth ell use of the Friendly Societies Amendment Act, 1858. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH presented petitions against the abolition of church rates. Lord COLVILLE, in the absence of Earl Vane, pre sented a petition from 14 different places in the diocese of Durham, praying the house to take such measures as shall ensure the recognition of the principle of manifest equity in the distribution of the large funds arising from the diocese. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Croydon Gas PRIVA and the Keith and Dufftown Railway Bills wero read a third time and passed. THE NEW FRENCH TREATY. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said in the event of the ad dress to her Majesty being agreed to that evening, he pro posed that a similar address should be moved iu that house on Friday or Monday next. The Earl of DERBY said Monday would be the more convenient day. Earl GREY said he would not be a party to support any such address, as such a proceeding, he considered, was totally unnecessary. Monday was then fixed as the day on which the address would be moved. LACE FACTORIES. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the lace manufacturers of Nottingham, praying that the lace factories may be brought under the operation of the factory act. The noble earl alluded to the hardships en dured by the workpeoplo in lace factories, and promised to bring in a bill to remedy the evil. The Drike of NEWCASTLE said he was sure the large manufactures in Nottingham would render him every as sistance in so laudable an endeavour. COMPANIES (1860) BILL. This bill, after a few observations from Lord IVEN sLET DALE and the LORD CHANCELLOR, was read a third time and passed. - ADMINISTERING POISON BILL. This bill was read a second time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tms EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. ROSCOMMON ELECTION. Mr. DUNLOP, the chairman of the committee ap pointed to try the merits of the Roscommon Election peti tion, brought up the report of that committee to the effect that Captain Gough, the sitting member, was g4ilty of treating, through his agents, but without his knowledge; that he was not duly elected, and that some of the bills for his election expenses were not delivered to the election auditor. AUGMENTATION OF LIVINGS. • Lord W GRAHAM moved fur a return of all tithe rent charges vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England in possession ; showing the parishes and counties out of which such tith e ren t charges arise; the amount at which they have been commuted ; the names, populations, and incomes of the benefices in such parishes ; and the grants which have been made by the Commissioners to such benefices.—Ordered. POOR RATE ASSESSMENTS. Mr. H UNT moved an address for return of the number of persons assessed to the poor rate in respect of property of the annual rateable value of £lO and under £l2, £l2 and under £l5, £l5 and under £2O, £2O and under £5O, £5O and upwards, in each parish or part of a parish in England and Wales not within the limits of any city or Parliamentary borough ; the preceding particulars to be summarised so as to show in regard to each head of information separate totals for each county and Parliamentary division of a county ; together with a total for the entire district returned (the above to be prepared from the most recent particulars rea dily accessible).—Ordered. METROPOLITAN POLICE FORCE. Mr. BOWYER moved for returns of the number of superintendents and inspectors of the metropolitan police who have been prmoted to their present situations from the force ; of the number who have been in the army and navy; of the number who have been appointed without having previously been in the public service, civil or military; of the number of metropolitan police-constables who have been reported by sergeants or acting sergeants, within the last three years ; and of the number of police-constables who have entersd the force, the number who have been dismissed, and the number who have retired from the force within the last three years.—Ordered. BARRACKS. Mr. MONSELL moved an address for a return of all barracks in the United Kingdom constructed for not more than 100, 200, SOO, 400, or 500 men, specifying whether they aro for infantry, cavalry, or artillery; of the annual expense of the staff employed for the care and maintenance of each barrack ; and, of the aggregate number of infantry. cavalry, and artillery fur whom accommodation is provided for in barracks constructed each for more than .500 men, and the aggregate number for whom accommodation is pro • vided in camp.—Ordered. COLONELS OF CAVALRY. Captain ARCHDALL asked the Secretary of State for 'War why field officers of the cavalry were excluded from the advantages of the late warrant, being prohibited from taking troop horses as chargers : whether he was aware that the receipts of a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry, from his pay and allowances, were Is. 10d. a day less than the pay and allowances of a lieutenant-colonel of infantry : and whether, such being the case, he would raise the pay and allowances of a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry equal to those of a lieutenant-colonel of infantry P Mr. S. HERBERT was understood to say that it was not intended to make the increase in question, as there was no ground for such a proceeding. MILITARY DEFENCES OF THE COLONIES. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Secretary of State for War whether the committee had yet i sported, which he stated last session to be sitting, on the subject of the expen diture from the British treasury on the military defences of the colonies, and on the principle on which such expenses ought to be apportioned between the Imperial and colonial treasuries, and on the best mode of carrying out such ap portionment; and, if they have made their report, whether he would present it to the house ? Mr. S. HERBERT said the report alluded to had been received, but it was not quite correct. He had communi cated with the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject, but he had not had time to devote his attention to it, and who did not consider that the report, being of a con fidential character, should be laid on the table. CAVALRY OFFICERS. Mr. H. STRACEY asked the Sec-etary of State for War whether general officers appointed to regiments of cavalry would in future be obliged to repay the difference, although the prices of commissions in the infantry and cavalry have been equalised. Mr. S. HERBERT replied in the negative. ARMSTRONG'S AND WHITWORTH'S GUNS. M. H. BAILLIE asked the Secretary of State for War whether he intended to continue the manufacture of Ann strong's guns, after the remarkable results of the recent ex periments with Whitworth's guns, both as to their range and the accuracy of their fire ; whether it was used ascertained fact that Armstrong's guns could n o t beeud nnless there was at hand a large supply each of shot , wa - and water, er'so that e be the gun might be washed out after ea whe ther the Whitworth gun might not used for any length wheth m er er t i h ts e i c ; tmhe oaatittteeimeawpritohinoutetdthteo a d i e d oid of e on waterthe and respective Armstrong and Whitworth cannon adopted the Armstrong rong gun without going to Manchester to look at Whitworth's , gun, n a fter having previously fixed a day on which they were to have visited Mr. Whitworth's works for the pur pose of examining his gun ? Mr. S. HERBERT said that the guns invented by M r. Whitworth were very satisfactory, but it was intended to repeat length of range, accuracy of aim, but, above all, test it with the guns of Sir W. Armstrong withp ect to re spect a lubricating The Armstrong guns were now supplied to their relative powers of destructability of an w eneniy. with material in the charge that rendered the use of water un necessary. EMPLOYMENT OF CIVILIANS AS GUNNERS. Capt. L. - VERNON asked the Secretary of State for War whether there was any foundation for the rumour that, with the Armstrong guns sent to China, under the command of Col. Crofton, Royal Artillery, it has been found expedient to send civilian workmen belonging to Sir Wm. Armstrong's manufactory, for the purpose of attending to details which in ordinary , cases fall within the duties of the gunners. Mr. S. HERBERT was understood to Mate that it was not usual to employ civilians in that capaciiy, but when it was had recourse to, means we re t a k en to remedy any de skedtheSecerfetatbrye of F r S e t n a c te h f T or re F a o ty re a ig p n . plied A f e e ffm t a s irr s o . n,wt HANKYhe r tt p e a r r part .h asked provisions to Fr o e r n t e c d h colonies in i e n o en resp ect ies; andof dutiesif goods shipped British pped to Martinique, &c., f rom ii goods ee imp England, would be admitted on the same terms as if shipped to France ? Lord J.

FITZGERALD said that the correspondence relating to Savoy and Nice was net placed in the hands of hon. members until that morning, and therefore he must postpone asking the noble lord this evening a question re lative to some apparent inaccuracies in that correspondence, but he would do so to-morrow. 102 93i 413; Hi 5 144 I 108148 1011 2 14 32 1124 68 4 1 1 1 98) 8 6 110 4 4 9 111 124 13 97 # 94 92 11 [oBi I i 9 TIIE MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON T 0.31 PADDOCK, THE PUGILIST. Thomas Spencer, of 17, Little Tichfield-street, Foley place, coffee-house keeper (the name being erroneously given in some of the papers as Parry), was brought up at Marlborough -street police-court, before Mr. Beadon, by Sergeant Rogers, 6 C, charged with cutting and wounding Thomas Paddock, better known as "Tom" Paddock, a pugilist, at the Cambrian public-house, Castle-street, Lei cester square (Nat Langham's), with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap pearild for the prisoner. Thomas Paddock, whose head was enveloped in surgical bandages, said—l live at 91, John street, Tottenham court-road, and have been a prizefighter, but have now left it off. On Saturday, about 12 o'olock, having taken a good deal to drink, I was at Nat Langham's, the Cambrian Stores, Castle-street, where also was the prisoner. I asked the prisoner for a knife and some money (about 4s. 6d.) he had taken from ray pocket. A few words then ensued, and some scuffling and fighting, when I felt I was cut on the chin. I was only conscious of one cut on the chin, but on getting to the hospital found several others about the head My coat was cut through about the arms, but all the wounds I have are those on my head. I have been at the hospital since, and am to go back. We had both been drinking together during the morning, but were not drunk. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Have known prisoner for some time and been on friendly terms with him, drink ing together. First saw the prisoner at Broome's, the Coach and Horses, and afterwards at Nat Langham'e. Had had something to drink together. It was at Lang ham's where he asked for his money and knife. Did not remember saying that if he did not "give him the 'money he would knock his guts out." Might have said he would punch his head. It was on the ground that I felt I was cut, and felt the knife. I called out, "This man is sticking me." It is very likely the prisoner was underneath at the time. Have not seen the knife from the time the prisoner took it till this morning, wh►n shown it by the constable. John Ford (known (as " Jack Callaghan") said—l was at Nat Langham's on Saturday, between twelve and ono, and saw Paddock and the prisoner there. Prisoner was rather tipsy, and Paddock very much so. Paddock came in first by a few minutes. I was drinking a glass of ale. Prisoner, when he came in, stood with his back to the bar, between it and Paddock. Paddock asked the prisoner to give him his money, saying, "I want 4s. 6d. of you, which you have taken out of my pocket." Prisoner said he had no 4s. 6d. of his, and asked him to take off his boots and see. Paddock said, "If you don't give it me I'll pay you for it," and tapping the prisoner gently on the breast with his fingers, repeated the words. Prisoner, who then had his hand behind -him, made a movement with it and struck Paddock in the face, but I did not see what he had in his hand as it was cevered. Pri soner repeated the blows several times ; and then Paddock called out to Bob Travers, who Was pi esent at the tins, " Bob, look out, he's got something in his hand." I then pounced upon the prisoner, who passed the knife from one hand to the other. [The knife was here produced, the blade about three inches in length.] I tried to get hold of the knife but could nut, but the waiter came to my assist ance and took the knife out of his hand. The pi isoner tried to escape but I secured him, altheugh I got some kicks on my legs. Should say the prisoner struck Paddock 10 or 12 times. Cross-examined—The prisoner repeatedly struck Pad dock with his fist, and afterwards saw him change the knife from one hand to the other. Had worked for Mr. Jay, of the City-road, the builder. Pycroft, the waiter at anghares, said he seized the pri soner's hand, and got the knife away. It was the knife produced. Cross -examined—I did not notice whether the prisoner was bleeding from the face. Paddock had hold of prisoner at the time. They both fell together, prisoner underneath. Before they fell Paddock said "Look at his hand." I did not see any blows struck before they fell. Immediately they fell Paddock said he was stabbed. I do not know whether prisoner was drunk or not. Sergeant Rogers, C division, here asked for a remand, which was at once granted, till Monday next, for the at tendance of the surgeon from the Charing-cross Hospital. The court, during the hearing of the case, was densely crowded, and the greatest interest seemed to be felt, not a little being occasioned by the near approach of the great contest for the championship. The depositions being read over, the prisoner was locked up, bail being refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(71111 DAY.) THAMES. TEE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S IN THE-EAST.—This morning a large number of the parish ioners of St. George's-in-the-East, headed by Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, of Arbour -street East, Stepney, attended the court for the purpose of applying for summonses against the Rev. Bryan King, rector of St. George ; the Rev. Thos. Dove, assistant curate; Barton Hatfield, son of a wine merchant, and one of Bryan King's choristers; Albert Edward Coleman, .57, St. George-street; and Edward Adams, 55, Montague-square, for assaults. Much excite ment prevailed, and there appeared to be a strong feeling of indignation against the rector aid his friends. Mr. Smith detailed the circumstances which led to the assaults upon his clients yesterday afternoon in the parish, when the Rev. Bryan King and his friends ejected the parishioners from the choristers seats and other parts of the church between the afternoon and evening service, and acted with great violence. Mr. Thomas Herbert, scalemaker, who is a vestryman and constable of St. G eorge's-in -the• East, said he was sent for to suppress the disturbance in the church, and was in formed the rector and his friends were ill-usTng the parishioners, and that murder would be done unless he interfered. In attempting to gain admission he was assaulted by Burton Stutfield and Edward Adams. He was afterwards assaulted by Thomas Dove, the as • Blatant, who jammed his leg between (the vestry door and door-post, and, in spite of his cries and entreaties, kept it there some time. He was very lame, and was unable to walk to the court. Richard James Selby, Mr. Thomas Newson, a clerk, No. 89, Cannon-street, St. George's, and other parishioners deposed to violent assaults committed upon them by Mr. King, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Coleman. Mr. Smith said that many police constables who were in the church saw the violence of Bryan King, Thos. Dove, and their associates, and would have taken the rev. gentle man and their friends into custody if the persons assaulted had given them in charge. lle complained of Bryan King bringing fighting mon like Adams from the West-end to assault the parishioners, and force his obnoxious practices on the rate-payers of St. George's. Mr. Yardley thought it best not to use any harsh lan guage or to say any thing that might tend to exasperation on one aide or the other. Professional men, above all others, ought not to have their feelings marked. If the rector in the exercise of what he considered to be his right, and believing that the church was his freehold, ejected certain parties from the church who he thought had no right to be there, using no snore force than was absolutely necessary, it was a case in which neither he nor his col league would have any jurisdiction. Mr. Smith said that if the rector had the right to eject the parishioners from the church, and he denied that he had that right, there was a great excuse on the part of the rector and his friends. Mr. Yardley—ln that case the magistrates would have jurisdiction. Ultimately summonses were granted against Messrs. King, Dove, Adams, Statfield, and Coleman, for assaulting Mr. Hubert, Mr. Newsom, and Mr. Selby ; other summonses were applied for by other parishioners, but Mr. Yardley thought he had already granted enough to try the question, and recommended the complainants to attend as witnesses when the summonses were heard. He was afraid the Monday's amusements in the Thames Police Court were too cheap for the dissentients in St. George's. He wished Mr. Smith would take both parties in the unfortunate parish of St. George'■ to the superior courts. A good dose of litigation, expensive litiga tion, would do much good. if the discontents on both sides oould be taken into the Court of Queen's Bench, the Con sistory Court, and the Court of Chancery all at once, it would do them a great service. It would be like a copious bleeding, lancing, bleeding by leeches, and cupping all at once. (Laughter.) The night charges were then proceeded with. At the time our reporter despatched his messenger another batch of discontented parishioners were entering the court for the purpose of complaining of rector, curate, and choristers, who, according to the statements made by the police, were ►nest violent in their behaviour yesterday afternoon.

The report on the Customs' Act was brought up and agreed to THE SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. Lord PALMERS FON moved that the other orders of the day be postponed until after a motion for an address to her Majesty on the treaty with France was agreed t ). Mr. KINGLAKE considered that there were scone points in the speech of the Emperor of the French that re quired consideration, before they acceded to the motion of the noble lord. Mr. BYNTG made a few observations to the same cffcet, and an er come discussion, Lord PALMERSTON withdrew his motion, but pro pesed to bring it ferward on Thursday. Some irregular discussion er:sued, in the course of which Sir J. PAKINGTON charged the Government with attempting to stifle discussion on the subject of the treaty by pressing the motion at so early a day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied the change, and contended that, in the course adopted in regard to this treaty by Government, the interests of the commercial classes were consulted, as those interests would be seriously affected by any delay in passing this treaty into law. (LEFT SITTING.) ELECTION COMMITTEES.- DOVER. This committee reassembled this morning, Mr. Gaskell in the chain. Witnesses were examined, who proved that they attended several meetings at a public house kept by a p rsen named Bromley, at Folkestone. They drank, smoked, and talked about the election, and while there a man came in and made a mark of 28s on the table in some slopped beer, which wa understood to be the price for voting. It was decided by the ♦otcs in the room that it was not enough, and the sum was afterwards increased to 30s. This was accepted, and afterwards a number of the voters on the day of election left Folkestone by 'bus and voted, receiving 30a. for so doing. ROSCOMMON. The committee this morning announced that they had come to the conclusion that the last election for the county of Roscommon, as far as Captain Goff was con cerned,:was a void election, and that Capt. Goff was, by his agents, guilty of bribery and treating, but that it has not been proved to the satisfaction of the committee that Capt. Goff was cognisant cf their proceedings. ST GEORGE 6'-IN-TIIE-BAST. Mr. Superintendent Howie and a body of 250 policemen of the K division presided over the ser vices at St. George's Church yesterday, and to a considerable extent succeeded in preserving order. Notwithstanding their exertions, however, there were some serious disturbances in the afternoon, the result of which, unfortunately, will be to bring the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, into the police court during the week as defendant on several sum monses for assault, which will this morning be taken out against him. The morning service yes terday was quiet ; and Mr. King, who preached, was uninterrupted. In the afternoon the Rev. T. Richardson, the newly-elected lecturer, preached a sermon, which was extremely moderate in tone and conciliatory in manner. As soon as it was over a body of young men took possession of the choris ters' seats, w ith a view of holding them against the clergy and choir at the evening service. They re mained in patient possession of them until just upon 6 o'clock, when the rector, accompanied by several members of his choir, entered the church and or dered them to leave, stating that he was legally the freeholder of the church, and that no one had a right to be there without his permission. The per sons thus addressed refused to move, upon which Mr. King took one of them by the collar and dragged him off the seat ; another person then seized him and dragged him to the vestry-room, where he was locked up as a prisoner. A similar operation was performed upon a second man, then upon a boy, while a young man named Littlejohn, the son of a vestryman, was so severely handled by the rector that his clothes were torn. While this fracas was going ou several policemen were in the church, but in answer to appeals made to them they stated that they had no authority to interfere, but at the same time intimated that if either of the persons thus assaulted would give . Mr. King into custody, they would consider themselves bound to take the charge. Five or six of these persons declined to do this, preferring an application to the magistrate for summonses against the rev, rector. The evening service was peaceable, the tremendous body of police who were present completely overawing the noisy portion of the congregat ion. The sermon, which was by no means judieious or attractive, was preached by the Rev. C. J. Le Geyt, M.A., incum bent of St. Matthew's, Stoke Newington. After the rector and his friends had retired the people struck up the doxology, and the organist with capital tact helped them out, and thus prevented. any disturbance.
