The prisoners, it appears, have been living in a very respectable style, keeping two female servants and a horse and gig, and in the bedroom of the female prisoner was found about 30 dresses of an expensive character. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely .place, appeared for the prosecu tion. Inspector Whither, and other witnesses, having been examined sufficiently to Pxatify a remand, the prisoners, against whom it is believed other charges will hereafter be preferred, were remanded. T DAME S. A SERIES OF ROBBERFES EY A SERVANT GIRL.—A young Irishwoman, named Mary Sullivan, aged 20, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing three gold finger rings, two gold earrings, a silver thimble, a piece of Cobur g cloth, two pairs of goloshes, two chemises, a glass cloth, three handkerchiefs, and £2 ls. 3d. in money, from the dwelling-house of 3.1 r. Joseph Clarke, of the Sun public-house, on Tower-hill. It appeared that the prig over had only been in the ser vice of Mr. Clarke for three days, and in the course of that time the above property was missed. Suspicion fell on the prisoner, and her mistress Searched her box and found the ihree gold finger rings wrapped up in paper on the top of the box. The other property and a purse belonging to Mrs. Clarke, containing £2 ls. at, was also found in the box. On Saturday night the prisoner said two dresses were being made for her, and she was allowed to go out on her representation that sl re was going to fetch the new dresses. She was gone about three hours, and upon her return she had on a pair of new boots. She excused her self for her long absence by stating that she had waited while the boots were being made. She then had on a piece of neck ribbon belonging to her mistress, and on being asked how she came by it, she said she found it. Other property was afterwards missed, and tho prisoner was given into custody. She then said some of the rings belonging to Mrs. Clarke, senior, the mother of Mr. Clarke, were in a piece of poplin under the drawers. A policeman named Burgess subsequently discovered Bs. 9d. concealed between the bed and the mattress in the room where the prisoner had been sleeping. _ Mr. Yardley asked how it was the prisoner could have taken s 9 many things and so much money in so short a time, and Mrs. Clarke replied that the prisoner came into her service with a tolerably good character and had access to everything in the house. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.- MONDAY.

A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, for the trial of John Clarke, a private in the Royal Marines, belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar, on the charges "of having, when the port watch was ordered to fall in on the starboard gang way, endeavoured to delay and discourage the ser vice by falling in with that watch, when he be- longed to the starboard, and by afterwards denying that he knew to which watch he belonged ;" and, secondly, " for misconducting himself and disobey ing orders while being conveyed in the Edgar's cutter to her Majesty's ship Victory." The Court comprised—Rear-Admiral Sir H. Keppel, K.C.8., President; Rear-Admiral J. E. Erskine; Captains Gordon, O'Callaghan, Hewlett, C. 8., Harris, Hellyar, Wilson, Caldwell, C. 8., Strange, Vansit tart, Tumour, and Mackenzie. After the reading of the customary formal papers and correspondence, witnesses for the prosecution were called. Captain James Edward Raton, commanding her Majesty's ship Edgar, being examined, deposed— On the sth of April the day after the ship's arrival at Spithead from Lisbon, leave was granted to 50 of the ship's company-35 seamen and 15 marines. Their leave extended until 7.30 on the 7th. Again, on the 7th, the same leave was granted to the same number of seamen and marines. On the 9th leave was extended to 12 per cent. of the ship's company. This was extended to the seamen, but, as 12 uer cent. of the marines were already on shore, leave was not granted to them. On the afternoon of the same day the marines, through their officers, re quested to see me. I was engaged at the moment, and said I would see them shortly. Immediately afterwards Lieutenant Storey, Royal Marines, re ported to me that the marines refused to dismiss. I replied, " Never mind, let them remain, and I will see them when at leisure." About a quarter of an hour afterwards I went on the quarter deck and ordered the marines to fall in there, and inquired of them what they wanted. They said they wished to know if their long leave was stopped; that they knew some of the Donegal's crew were on shore at Portsmouth, at that time, and that it was hard they could not have the same indulgence. I told them that, to the best of my knowledge, their leave was not stopped. I could not speak for certain, but thought when orders came from the Admiralty, re lative to fitting the ship they would probably get their leave, and advised them to go to their work quietly, for what they were doing was the wrong way to get their leave. They then went away. On the following day I was on board, between 1 and 3 p.m., when Commander Waddilove reported to me that the marines had been behaving in ats insubordinate manner, and that John Clarke, the prisoner, had been behaving insubordin'Aely, by stating that he did not know what watch he belonged to, and that he, the Commander, had in consequence placed him in irons. Captain Charles Louis, commander of the Royal Marines on board the Edgar—On the 10th inst. I was sent for on the quarter deck by Commander Waddilove, and, in consequence of what then passed between us, I sent Lieut. Cairncross on the lower deck to muster the port watch of marines on the upper deck. They came up, but with them the greater part of the watch below and some of the guard, and all fell in on the starboard gangway. I then, by Commander Waddilove's directions, ordered the port watch to fall in on the port gangway. The whole of the men passed over, and I then ordered Lieut. Cairncross to muster the starboard watch over on the starboard gangway. This was done, and reported to me. The starboard watch were then dismissed, and Commander Waddilove went to the port watch, on the port. gangway, and ordered the 4th subdivision to man the yard whip. The whole of the men of the watch, with some of the starboard watch, moved aft to the whip. The Commander then asked each man, or nearly so, what subdivision of the watch he belonged to, ordering those that be lecged to the 4th subdivision to stand fast, and the others to forward. The prisoner stated that he did not kn ao where he belonged, that he did duties in both watches, and did not know what part he belonged to, or words to that effect. The Commander then asked me whether the prisoner knew what part of the watch he belonged to. I said he must know it. I was then ordered by Commander Waddilove to have the prisoner placed in irons in the fore cockpit. Two non-commis sioned officers were sent to carry out that order. I produce my watch-bill and find that the prisoner belongs to the 4th section of the starboard watch, and there has been no alteration in the watch•bill, except for a period of about a week in December last, when the prisoner, I believe, did duty in the port watch. By the Court—The prisoner's manner expressed dissatisfaction. In replying to Commander Wad dilove his words were respectful, but his manner was sullen. When ordered by the Commander to be placed in irons he went without remonstrance, and said he would go quietly, or words to that effect. Lieutenant Swinburne, R.N., belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar, and John Bells, the coxswain of the cutter which conveyed the prisoners from the Edgar to her Majesty's ship Victory, were shortly examined for the defence, after which the Court closed to consider its finding, which was read by the Deputy Judge-Advocate, and found that a spirit of insubordination had been shown by a por tion of the crew of her Majesty's ship Edgar, at Spithead, on the 10th inst., and also found the prisoner guilty on the charges brought against him, and sentenced him to two years' imprison ment, with hard labour, in her Majesty's gaol at Winchester, and at the conclusion of that period to be dismissed her Majesty's Royal Marine forces with disgrace. The Court was then re-sworn, and immediately proceeded to try James Haining, gunner, Royal Marine Artillery, and John Menzies, Royal Marine, on charges of having prevented Sergeant Lash bourn and Corporal Stack from putting John Clarke, the prisoner in the last case, in irons, in the fore-cockpit, and for having rescued him from their custody. ' The Court found the charges not proved against the prisoners. The Court will re-assemble this morning and proceed with the trial of the remaining cases, there being yet 33 prisoners on board the Victory for trial, belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar. APP.RETIENSION OF A MURDERER IN AMERICA. The Boston Courier of the 2d mentions the arrest of a man named James Johnson on board the ship Brewster, Capt. Fessenden, from Calcutta, Nov. 30, on a charge of murdering three seamen belonging to the British man-of-war Retribution, from Cal cutta, about five months since. The facts in the case, as near as can be ascertained, are as follows : " Johnson is an Englishman by birth, and states that he is 23 years of age, although he appears several years older. He belonged to the British army in India, from which be deserted two or three years since: He afterwards acted as a bar-tender at a low rum shop in Calcutta, and it was here that he, with others, murdered the three seamen. The men were killed by being beaten over the head with a slung shot and glass bottles. They were supposed to have been murdered for their money. Johnson was supposed to be the chief perpetrator of this horrible murder, and officers -were sent in every direction to ferret him out if possible. Ho escaped, however, by hiding behind a chimney in the house of a friend, where he remained three days without anything to eat. At the end of that time he left, and smuggled himself on board the ship North America, which was to sail immediately for the United States. He bribed the mate by giving him a gold watch to allow him to remain. He was de tected, however, by some of the crew, as a fugitive from justice, and sent on shore. He then went on board the bark Clarissa Currier, which was bound for Boston, and bribed the mate by giving two gold rings and a silver watch to allow him to stay ; but here he was discovered again while going down the river Iloogly, and to get rid of him they sent him on board the ship Brewster, which was just leaving for this port. He climbed over the bows of that ship, and, when one of the sailors asked him what he wanted, he said, " For God's sake save me ; if the officers get hold of me I shall catch the seven stretchers.' rhey concluded to bring him over, and did not suspect at the time that he was a murderer. The sailors state that during the passage he has been seen to start up in his sleep, and cry out, Go away, I did not murder you alone ; he helped me to do it.' My God, there they are !" See the blood !' and other exclamations of horror, mingled with oaths. The police are in search of the mate of the Clarissa Currier, to whom the prisoner is supposed to have confes'sed the crime. The ship arrived here about a week since, and t he mate has concealed him self on account of a debt for which he has become liable, and for which a warrant has been issued against him. The evidence is probably strong enough to convict him without the testimony of the mate, but the British Consul desires to have the evi dence beyond a doubt before sending him to Cal cutta. Johnson is of medium size, and has a decidedly hard-looking face, especially when looked upon as a murderer. He refuses to hold any conversation in regard to the crime with which he is charged." The colonelcy of the 10th Regiment remains vacant by the death of Sir Thomas M‘Mahon, and no re commendation has yet been made to her Majesty respecting the selection of the officer to be appointed is his place,— oarilly and :Yoz7l Gazette. 201 20 10 100 I 100 106 174 20 S took Stock ) 20 Sto. 1 Stock 100 Stock 20 20} 201 100 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stook Stock 10 LOGO Stook Stock Stock Stock 102 i I 91 stook' stock 52 1 * 1 BRITISH MINES.

The following bills were read a second time :—Sheffield Water, East Somerset Railway, Bagnelstown and Wexford Railway, and Shrewsbury and Welchpool Railway. The Brecon and Merthyr Junction Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. GALASHIELS AND PEEBLES RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of the Earl of EGLINTON this bill was ordered to be re-committed. LAW AND EQUITY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to give to equity judges the power of deciding incidental questions of com mon law. In this country there existed a distinction be tween one important class of laws and another, such as he believed did not exist in any other country, and with a view to remedy this the present bill was introduced. The subject had for some time engrossed the attention of many eminent legal reformers, and much had been done towards remedying the anomaly, but still much required to be done, especially in the courts of com mon law. A commission had been appointed to inquire into the subject, and they had made a report, in which they stated that much evil and inconvenience was occa sioned by the divided jurisdiction. The present bill proposed that suitors should be enabled to try one cause in one court. By this arrangement, in case an accidental question arose, it would be competent for the presiding judges to decide the point, and thus the great ex pense of engaging counsel to try the question in a second court would be altogether avoided. The bill was founded entirely upon the report of the eminent lawyers who com posed the commission, and was drawn up by Mr. Justice Willes. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner both approved of the bill, and were of opinion no more could be done to bring about a fusion of law and equity. As the measure was so highly approved he trusted their lordships would consent to read the bill a second time, when it could be referred to a select committee, where the objections of some of the judges to certain parts of it could undergo full consideration. Lord S . C. LEONARDS said he should oppose the bill. The noble and learned lord had been careful to inform their lordships that the bill had been founded upon the report of the common law commissioners, and that he had not uttered a single word on it after it had been drawn up. Thus be was not responsible for the precise terms of it. He thought the Common Law Commissioners had gone beyond their powers in interfering with the equity jurisdiction. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This EVENING.) Tho SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Conway and Llanrwst Railway Bill was read a third time. The Horsham and Steening and Beeding Roads Bill was considered, and ordered for third reading. The Bainbridge Junction Railway Bill was read a second time. ..... -.

COCHRANE gave notice that on the motion for the adjournment of the house on Friday, the 4th May, he would ask the Government what steps were taken with a view to protect British commerce in Japan. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS, &c. (IRELAND). Lord NAAS gave notice that on an early day he would, move for leave to bring in a bill to assimilate the registra tions of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland with the law of the country. THE FRANCHISE. l‘fr. HOWES asked whether it was the intention of the Government to cause to be laid upon the table any further returns vs hiek might afford information as to the probable effect of the extension of the franchise proposed by the Bill for the Amendment of the representation of the People of England and Wales, or might throw light on the grounds or scope of the provisions of the bill ; and, if so, when such re turns would be laid upon the table ? Sir G. LEWIS said that the Government had laid on the table all the information of which they were possessed. The house must be aware that it was impossible to make any attempt to obtain so correct a census as that which the hon. member required in reference to tenements rated to the poor and other rates in this country. All the Government could effect was to obtain returns of the existing rates, and it would be for the house to consider how far that abstract was satisfactory. FISHERIES IN SCOTLAND. Col. SYKES asked the Lord Advocate whether it was his intention to introduce amendments into the Herring Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, in accordance with views ex pressed at recent public meetings by persons having a prac tical knowledge of the fisheries in Scotland ? The LORD ADVOCATE said it would be impossible to give a general answer to the question of the hon. mem ber. The object of the bill was, as far as practicable, to prevent the exercise of a practice in reference to fisheries in Scotland, which was very . objectionable ; but, at the same time, he assured the hon. member he was quite willing to introduce any provisions in the bill which were calculated to render its operation more effective. THE VACANT PROFESSORSHIP AT THE CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Mr. A. STEUART asked the Secretary of State for the Horne Department whether any special cause has pre vented the filling up of the vacancy existing in the Pro fessorship of Modern History for the University of Cam bridge ; and whether the vacancy would soon be filled up ? Sir G. LEWIS said he had no official connection with the University of Cambridge, and was not in a position to answer the question, which the hon. member might repeat, and obtain from some other member of the Government the information he required. TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND IN IRELAND. The O'D DNOGHUE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land what day he intended to fix for the second reading of the bill to amend the law relating to the tenure and im provement of land in Ireland ; also, whether he could name an early day for the consideration of the other bills having reference to the sa:ue sabjeet, and which were now before the house ? Mr. CARDWELL said he was extremely desirous to bring forward the bill alluded to respecting the law of tenure and improvement of laud in Ireland, as well as other Irish bills, but no day was appointed by Government for the second reading of the former bill. It would, however, be brought forward without any u nnecessary delay. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. In reply to Lord J. MANNERS, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that it was his intention to bring in this bill during the present evening, provided the state of business would allow him to do so before eleven o'clock. ARTILLERY FOR CHINA. Mr. PAPILLON asked the Secretary of State for War what were the respective dates of the embarkation of the two Armstrong batteries of Royal Artillery for China, of their arrival at Alexandria, of their disembarkation there, and of theirre -embarkation at Suez ; whether there was any truth in the statement that the ammunition was seriously damaged, if not entirely spoiled, owing to the defective arrangements on beard of the steamer Himalaya; and whether any steps had been taken in consequence to ensure a sufficient supply of serviceable powder by the time that the batteries can be required for action ? Mr. S. HERBERT entered into an explanation to the effect that with reference to the transmission of Royal Ar tillery to China, there had been a mistake in reference to the message forwarded by the Government, which produced some derangement in their plans. With regard to the last part of the question, necessary steps had been adopted. FORESHORES, &c. Mr. A. SMITH moved for a select committee to inquire into the rights of the Crown as connected with the fore shores, tidal rivers, estuaries, and bed of the sea round the coasts of the united kingdom, and the manner in which the Commissioners of Woods and Forests are dealing with the same. He said that, on previous occasions, when he had brought on this bill the house had been counted out, from whichhe had inferred that the subject was not considered of sufficient importance to command the attention of the house, and he regretted that he had not the rhetorical abi lity to render the subject attractive. Notwithstanding these circumstances, he felt that, having taken up this question, and having received deputations from different parts' of the country in reference to this subject, he was bound to bring it again before the attention of the house. He had presented a petition from a gentleman of property and a magistrate, residing in South Wales, named Reeves, and he would again draw attention to this docu ment. Mr. Reeves stated that there were fisheries is Car marthen which bordered on his estates, and that he had been involved in serious litigation with the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests with reference to certain claims they had advanced of late years on behalf of the Crown, with respect to these fisheries. He then proceeded to state that great hardship, and, as he coasidered, injustice, had been inflicted on the gentleman in question, and that this case was by no means singular. It was most desirable that this matter should be satisfactorily settled, and the rights of the Crown clearly defined. At the present time there was no certainty in reference to the rights which the Crown put forward relative to its territorial possession as regarded this description of property; and referring to an act, the 27th of Elizabeth, he contended that the powers exercised by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were not legally con ferred. At all events, there could be no valid objection to the appointment of the committee he proposed. He adverted next to the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests having disposed of several acres of land by virtue of the rights they claimed in reference to these fisheries, to the detriment of the public interest as well as individuals. He hoped that the question would on this occasion meet with more atten tion than it had previously done, and he deprecated the personal allusion made to him previously by the Attorney- General as having an interest in these fisheries. The motion having been seconded, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that when the house bad been counted out on former occasions when this subject was brought forward, it was not by the efforts of the Crown officers, who would have been only too happy to have had the question settled, but by the unaided agency of the hon. member himself. (Laughter.) He thought the House should not be converted into an arena for the discussion of a question that was brought before a court of equity—viz., the case of Mr. Rees. He defended the course pursued by the Commissioners of the Woods ant Forests in regard to that gentleman, who wanted to act without reference to the rights of the Crown. The ques tion at issue in regard to Mr. Rees was rela tive to high water and low water mark, and tho Commissioners acted in perfect accordance with the right with which they were entrusted, and which they exercised for the benefit and not for the detriment of the public. There was a very important constitutional prin ciple involved in the motion of the hon. member, and he denied that the house had any jurisdiction or autho fity to inquire into the rights of the Crown, unless it coold be proved that the commissioners had not exceeded their inty. The fact was that they had acted very leniently in enfot 'ling the claims of the Crown, as could be estab lished by Parliamentary documents extending over the last 27 years. The right hon. and learned member quoted from the papers in question, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) LONDON GAZETTE -(THIS EVENING.) BUCKINGHAM PA LACE, APRIL 23.
