HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. At the conclusion of the arguments in this case, Lord Justice Turner announced that judgment would be given on Tuesday week. The following bills were read a second time, and ordered ;o be committed : APPEAL.-ATTOitNEY-GENERAL V. DAVEY. Mr. Daniel, Q.C., is now being heard for the appellant in this Charity Trust Conveyance in Norwich. Berks and Hants Extension Railway, Mid-Kent Rail way, Witney Railway (No. 2), Malden and Sheen Valley Drainage, Wells and Fakenham Railway. Mr. C. FORSTER moved the following, which were agreed to :—That the order for the second reading of the Atlantic Telegraph Company Bill be read. and discharged. That the bill be withdrawn. That leave be given to bring in a bill to " alter and amend the Acts relating to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and to enable the company to raise additional capital; and for other purposes." That Mr. Stuart Wortley and Mr. Samuel Gurney do prepare and bring in the bill. PETITIONS. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.-BLUCK V. MALLALUE. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—This is a suit arising out of a loan joint-stock company, limited, and there is an application by the plaintiff for an injunction to restrain some of the directors as a board of management, or a committee of management of the joint-stock loan com pany from doing certain acts complained of, on the ground that they are a corporation, and that the acts complained of are contrary to the rules of the corporation, and contrary to their duties as a corporation, limited. The acts complained of are three. First—That the defendant, Mr. Mallalue, in his capacity of cashier of the company, took bills and promissory notes in his own name only, without the name of the company. Second—That the loans made by the directors were made for their own benefit, contrary to the rules of the corporation. And, third—That the directors had not fulfilled their part of the contxact, but had failed to take, as required, a certain num ber of shares of the company. That by the provisions of the contract they were bound to take a certain number of shares, and' they had not done so. Upon the first part of the case his Honour did not consider that the assertions were proved. He did not think that the second was sufficiently proved so as to constitute a breach of the 47th and 67th regulations of the company. But his Honour did think that the third branch of the case was proved, that the directors had not taken and retained the requsite number of shares in the company. His Honour considered the case of the North Midland Railway Com pany v. Hudson as a case in point, and granted the plaintiff an injunction against the defendant as asked, with liberty to apply. Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Brompton, setting forth that they viewed with great apprehension the spread of popery in England, and the dissemination of the " Garden of the Soul " in the ar Mrm. y . DENISON presented a petition praying for the repeal of the duty on paper. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented five petitions to the same effect. TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) BILL. Sir R. FERGUSON moved the second reading of this bill, and said he proposed that it should be referred to a select committee. After a few words from Sir D. Norreys, Col. French, Mr. Mr. M‘Mahon, and other hon. members, This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted this day four weeks. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Lord BURY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that though he was prepared to answer any objection on the part of the hon. member (Mr. B. Hope) who had an amendment on the paper, he believed he would be consulting the feelings of the house if he abstained from any observations at present. He would, therefore, merely at the present moment move that the bill should be read a second time. Mr. A. B. HOPE said ho had to complain of the per tinacity with which the noble,lord had pressed forward this measure, The noble lord had given no reasons for his sup port of the bill, and merely acted on the principle, sic volo sic jubio. It was most improper that a measure like the present, which so seriously affected the social con dition of the community, should be only placed in their hands that morning, and therefore they were called on to decide on its principle with undue haste. Hs denied that there had been an adequate demonstration on the part of the people in any part of this countryAs sho . wn by pea.• tions, to justify the introduction of this bill. He contended that the preponderance of feeling in the country was against the bill. (No, no.) As long as gentlemen cried "No, no," he would cry " Yes, yes." (Laughter.) He repeated that if the community were fully canvassed, his assertion would be found to be correct, and he must strongly denounce the attempt made by the supporters of this bill to bring the brand of discord into the heart of the social circle, to change the sacred and tender feelings of the sister towards her brother-in-law, and to make her shrink from the most innocent attentions on his part. Its effect, also, on the interests of her nephews and nieces would be most injurious, and they could no longer look forward with sincerity to her protection and affection as to that of a second mother. If they admitted that it• should be legal for a man to marry his sister-in-law, they would inevitably come to the rendering legal marriage with a niece, which was the case in those countries on the continent when the former was sanctioned by law. (" No, no.") He did not propose to deal with the religious part of the question, be cause the arguments which he had brought forward last year had not been answered ; and he heard one gentleman state that a charity girl would confute a bench of bishops on the religious part of the subject. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. BALL, in supporting the second reading of the bill, said he had heard nothing from the hon. member (Mr. Hope) to induce him to change his opinion on this question, and he could not see how what was considered to be cor rect in 1835, should not be regarded as just and proper in 1859. (Hear, hear.) -He had not so much acquaintance with religious societies as the hon. member, but ho was connected with several of them, and they were in favour of the measure. Moreover, they had the fact that there were petitions presented from no less than 750 clergymen of the metropolis, who, he believed, formed the majority of the clergy in London. So far from being productive of the evils predicted by the honourable member for Maidstone, they would have directly the contrary effect. Sir F. BUXTON expressed his surprise that the hon. member should have asserted that there was not a strong popular feeling in the country, when they considered the petitions presented on the subject, and the opinion of the majority of the press throughout the country, which strongly advocated the legalising of the marriages in ques tion. If these marriages were not opposed to the Word of God, why should they not be legalised by the law of man ? In fact, it was most desirable that they should decide on this question without further delay, and by that means terminate the suspense which at present prevailed in the minds of the community, so long as the matter was unde cided. It had been contended that these marriages were opposed to the book of Leviticus ; but was it not a fact that the Jews, who were the best interpreters of the text of the Old Testament permitted these marriages from the very com mencement. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. DRUMMOND said it was a strong proof of the progress of liberty that within the space of one week a bill was introduced to sanction incest and another to sanction sacrilege. (Laughter.) He deniedthat it had been proved to the satisfaction of any reasoning mindthat the marriages proposed by this bill were not directly opposed to the Word of God. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") When the papers sane tioned incest they did so for some interested motive, but they had no such plea for the act they proposed to commit. It was against the law of God to form these marriages, and the word of man could not set aside that of God. Mr. AKROYD supported the second reading of the bill. He said those marriages were very common amongst the working classes, who, satisfied that they were not for bidden by the law of God, had no scruple in contracting them, and were therefore, so long as the present law was unaltered, living in a state of what some might call con ) cubinage. General THOMPSON said that as all his constituents wanted to marry the sisters of their deceased wives— (laughter)—he must say a few words in favour of the bill on their behalf. It was a fact that the community were in favour of it, and he could not understand how a mail who saw his sister-in-law paying attention to her nephews and nieces, and supplying the place of their mother could pre vent entertaining for her those feelings which would induce him to make her his wife. (Hear, hear.) Mr. STEWART opposed the bill, and condemned legis lating for this country without including Scotland. Sir G. LEWIS supported the second reading of the bill. When they looked to Protestant and Catholic countries they found that these marriages were permitted in some form or another. This law against marriage with a de ceased wife's sister was opposed to the feelings of the people "at large. He asked the house if it was to retain the present state of the law, when such was the case ? The present law, he repeated, did not exist in other countries at present, and did not exist in this country until 1835, and taking this into consideration, as well as the popular feeling that had been exhibited, and the extremely stringent and painful character of the law, he trusted the opposition would not be persisted in, and that the bill would not only be read a second time that day, but would shortly become the law of the land. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE said that although in Prussia, which was a Protestant country, marriage with a deceased wife's sister was legalised, it was also lawful for an uncle to marry his niece, and were they preparad to go to the same extent ? When they were preparing to alter a law that so deeply affected the social state of all classes, they should bring forward the most satisfactory reasons for the change. If they pressed this bill they would have to make an altera tion in the law of divorce in the provisions, which related to incest ; and he believed the effect of the change pro posed by this measure would tend to increase that crime. He concluded by a most urgent appeal to the house to reject the measure. ADMISSION OF BARON MEYER ROTHSCHILD. Baron M. Rothschild, accompanied by Lord J. Russell and Mr. Abel Smith, appeared at the table to take his seat as member for Hythe ; but immediately afterwards retired in order that tko formal resolution, in conformity with the statute of last session, should be agreed to. Mr. A. SMITH then moved the resolution, by which the hon. member was privileged to take his seat without sub scribing to the usual form of oath. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he rose to ask the Speaker a question. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") Ho wished to know whe ther the resolution, which the house was called on to pass, was merely sessional, or whether, if not rescinded, it was to be considered to be in perpetuity? He also wished to know whether Baron M. Rothschild was a subject by birth or by naturalisation of her Majesty ? Sir GEORGE GREY said that the latter question was a legal one, and if the hon. member objected to Baron Roths child sitting in that house, ho should do so by petition. Mr. CONINGHAM expressed a hope that oaths, which were merely a Pagan institution, would be abolished in this COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE LILLIE. This bankrupt was described as of Noodley, Essex, miller, and carne up for his certificate, which was opposed ,he ground of reckless trading and fraudulent disposal of his property to his father-in-law, when in a hopeless state of insolvency, owing about £1,700, and the assets about £7O. His Honour suspended the certificate (second class) for 2 months, without protection for six months. An application, however, was made for limited protec ion for six weeks, to give the! bankrupt an opportunity of appealing. country. Lord J. RUSSELL said it would be desirable to hear the opinion of the Speaker on the subject. The SPEAKER said it was a clearly established rule of Parliament that a resolution differed from a standing order, and expired with the dissolution or prorogation of Parlia ment. The course now proposed was in strict conformity with the statute passed last session. Mr. A. SMITH then moved the resolution,•by which any person of the Jewish persuasion, on taking his seat, was not required in his declaration to use tho words "on the true faith of a Christian." Mr. NEWDEGATE said that although his opinion, and those of his friends who voted with him last session, was unchanged, he would not oppose the resolution. The resolution was then agreed to, and Baron Rothe• child, having been again conducted to the table, took the oaths and his seat on the Opposition benches. The debate was then resumed. Lord J. RUSSELL said before the house came to a divi sion he wished very briefly to state his views upon the H q uestion, and the reasons which induced hint to give his vote in support of the second reading of t his bill. (ear, hear.) During the years the subject had been under the cognizance of the house, he had until the present hour refrained from giving any vote on the question, because ho had not fully considered the questio n, but having heard au hon. member observe that it was the duty of every member of the house to fully considei"the question, he had done so, and he had satisfied himself' that there was no religious pro hibition to the marriage with a deceased wife's sister— (hear, hear)—and he.was further of opinion that there was a clear distinction between relations in blood and relations who become so by the marriage.tie. (Hear, hear.) There was a feeling in favour of the marriage with a deceased wife's sister especially amongst the middle classes, amongst whom it was thought that there was no person so fit to take care of the motherless children as the beloved sister of the deceased wife... I n n umerous cases, where the sister of the d ecea sed wife came to reside with the widower, a feeling of intimacy soon sprung up, when it was observed she was kind and affectionate to the children. (dear, hear.) • That feeling soon grew into affection, and he thought it unjust that those persons, not being.blood relations—(hear, hear, and cheers) —should be debarred from' confirming their affection by marriage. (Hear, hear.) Where those parties felt there was no scruple on religions grounds, their marriage 'ought to be allowed, and such being his opininon he should support the second reading of the bill. If a bill such as that now under consideration passed he (Lord John Russell) thought the subject would not be allowed to rest at that point, and justly so, for it was but right that there should be equal rights given to both sexes—(cheers) —equal rights to all. Cheers.) Mr. WALTIR opposed 'the- bill, He denied there was IN RE POLDEN AND POLDEN. This was a meeting for the examination of debtors to the estate, many of the claims being disputed. In one Mr. Warrand appeared for the assignees and Mr. T. Beard for the alleged debtor; but it appeared that one of the bank rupts had mitten a letter admitting there was only £1 due. His Honour made no order, and the case stood over for the assignees to look over the aocounts, as they had trusted to the list of debtors returned in the balance-sheet. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) , SINGULAR CASE OF LANDLORD AND TENANT.-COKEY V. HOOPER. This was an action to recover 4s. 6d. deposit paid to de fendant as guarantee for taking an apartment at his house. The plaintiff stated that she called upon defendant and agreed her to take a room. She complained that the room was in a very dirty state, but defendant's daughter said it should be cleaned. Upon this complainant paid a deposit of 4s. 6d., and agreed to come in the following Monday at ten o'clock in the morning. Defendant's daughter occupied the room, and on the day appointed plaintiff went with her goods, but found the place in such a dirty state, and the room so full of smoke, that she refused to occupy it. Defendant's wife said, "There is the room, take it or leave it as you like. _ _ Plaintifinow sought to recover the deposit of 4s. 6d. His Honour though the deposit should be returned, but defendant urged that it should not. Plaintiff gave no time for cleansing the room, and as to smoke, that was denied. His Honour thought that defendant had no time to clean the room. Plaintiff—l agreed to send in at 10 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock I sent in. The carman who took plaintiff's goods said the apartment was in a filthy state and full of smoke. Defendant—She took my room, and a few of her things were moved in, and she has prevented me letting the room to another person, so I do not see why I should return the deposit. His Honour—l think defendant had no timo to prepare the place, and the plaintiff was in such a hurry to enter, I can do nothing for her. Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. John Regan was placed at the bar charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. From the evidence of the landlord of the George public house, Great Queen-street, and two constables, F 75 and F 132, it appeared that Ike prisoner, last night, was in front of the bar of the above public-house drinking beer. As he was partially intoxicated, the landlord told him he would not serve him with any more drink ; upon which he became abusive, and refused to pay for what he had already had. The landlord then tried forcibly to eject him from the house, and immediately he got him to the door he gave him in charge of a police-constable who was standing outside the house. 'A violent struggle ensued, during which police constable F 75 said he was struck by the prisoner, who had been in prison for stabbing a policeman. Regan said, " I've been in prison once for making four holes in the coat of the iann that wore the number 75 beforo you, but I'll make a doien in yours." The other s t oliceman also assisted to convey the man to the station-house. The prisoner called two witnesses, who both swore they saw the policeman, 75, draw his staff, but they could not say whether the mark on the man's forehead was caused by that weapon. He asserted that it was. • Mr. Hall—to policeman 75—How was the injury caused to this man's forehead ? Policeman —He struck me on the breast, and I returned the blow with my fist. Mr. Hall—You did not say in your evidence you struck the prisoner ? Prisoner—You struck me on the mouth with your fist, and on the head with your staff. Mr. Hall (to Tyrrell, the gaoler)—Look at that wound, and say if you think it has been caused by a man's hand. Tyrrell—The place seems cut, and looks as if it had been done with some rough substance. Police-constable 132 F—The constable, 75, never drew his staff. Mr. Hall—l don't know that. If the constable did use his staff he did so most improperly. Such an instru ment should never be used except in cases of absolute necessity; and I must say that I have considerable doubts in my mind about the case. On the one hand the two constables say the staff was never used, while on the other the two witnesses called by the prisoner say that it was. Their evidence was not altogether satisfactory, as they differed in some material points. I shall, therefore, discharge the prisoner, but I wish the landlord of the public-house to remove a notion he appears to entertain, that he can call upon the police to take a man into custody because he refuses to pay for drink supplied. He has no power to give a man into custody of the police for doing so. The police must not bo called upon to assist a man to collect a debt. if a man refuses to pay for drink supplied ho must be sued in the usual way. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ARTFUL WATCH ROBBERY.—George Foster, a tailor, was charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr. Henry Moore, pawnbroker f of 9, John's-terrace, Hack ney-road, as follows : Dancey, 116 C, said that at ten, last night, he was assist ing the complainant, who was intoxicated, out of a cart, a large crowd of persons being assembled at the time at the top of St. Martin's-lane, when the prisoner came up and said, " All right, constable; he is a friend of mine." He then saw a watch in the prisoner's hand, and asked him what he was about. He replied that it was "all right," but thinking that it was not so, he took him into custody. Henry Moore, the prosecutor, said that the watch was his property, and of the value of £5. He was not aware that he had lost it at the time, not being sober. The prisoner said it was a mistake, when a witness was called who said he saw the watch in the prisoner's hand, and the constable take it from him. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner still asserted it was a mistake, and that he never had the watch in his hand. Mr. Bingham said he believed the witnesses had told the truth, and should remand him for a week.

A - similar arrangement may be made even before the next avoidance, on the request of the bishop pro tem. a feeling in favour of such marriages amongst the middle classes. While they considered what they were about to concede by the bill, he thought itwas their duty to consider what they were about to take away.

At the Thames Police-court, this day, Mrs. Susan Mason, an elderly woman, of Bedford-row, Maid stone, Kent ; Mrs. Catherine Walker, of Nc. 4, Hanover-court, Hanover•street, Rotherhithe ; and Mr. James Johnson, proprietor of the Eastern Saloon, better known as the Penny Gaff, opposite Limehouse Church, came before Mr. Yardley to claim a boy about 12 years old, whose name is either Brotherton or Walker, and who has been for many years in the service of Johnson as a tumbler, and who was for one season engaged as a sprite in a Christmas pantomime at a minor theatre. The boy, a sharp fellow, with an intelligent face, Was present. Mr. Livingston, chief usher, said that the boy was given up to his mother upon her application a few weeks ago, and she then said that the child was stolen from her in Kent a few years ago, and sold to Johnson for 30s. Another woman, Mrs. Mason, claimed the child as her grandson yesterday, and said that her daughter (since dead) was his mother, and James Brotherton, basket maker, of Canterbury, his father, and that he was born in that city. Mrs. Walker said the boy was born in Ber mondsey, and put in a certificate of baptism in the Roman Catholic Church, Dockhead, from which it appeared that Jeremiah Walker, son of Jeremiah and Catherine Walker, was baptised on the 4th of July, 1846. He was now within three months of 13 years of age. Mrs. Mason—He is my grandson. Mrs. Walker—lt is false ;heis my son, and you are not my mother. Mr. Yardley said he was not going to try a question of the identity of a mother or the identity of a son. He asked the boy which of the claimants he preferred? The boy clung to Mrs. Walker, and said, " This is my mother, and I wish to be with her." Mrs. Walker—To be sure, he is my own darling boy. Mr. Yardley—How do you know him ? Mrs. Walker—By a mole on his left side, and five cowpox marks on his left arm. I saw him vaccinated. Mr. Yardley—Millions of people have cowpox marks on their arms. Is his father alive ? Mrs. Walker—My husband, his father, is alive. Mrs. Mason was then questioned, and said she believed her daughter was dead. • Her daughter gave birth to a son, and she was afterwards informed that child was stolen by another woman, and sold to a showman. Mr. Yardley said that no doubt Mrs. Mason's daughter lost a child, but that did not settle the question that the boy was Mrs. Mason's grandson. Mrs. Mason said she claimed the boy of Johnson five months ago. Mr. Yardley—Why let him remain with him ? Mrs. Mason—l thought he was in good hands, and in a fair way of obtaining his living. Mr. Yardley made inquiries of the boy how he had been treated by Mrs. Walker, to which he re plied, very well, and that he was sent to a ragged school. Mr. Yardley said two women lost a child eight and a half years ago, and the boy could not be the son of both. He would recommend that the, child be left in the care of Mrs. Walker, whom he pre ferred for the present. He asked what sort of a place Hanover-court was ? Inspector Bean, of the K division, said it was a most wretched pine. Mr. Yardley directed that the police in Rother hithe should look after the welfare of the boy, and take care ho was not stolen or sold again. The boy was very lively and intelligent, and he hoped every care would be taken of him. Mrs. Walker was a person of drunken habits; but if she' was the boy's mother she had a right to his custody. William Collins said he was formerly in the employ of Johnson as a musician, and saw that person ill-use the boy in a shameful manner, and compelled the boy to relieve his necessities on the floor. He expostulated with Johnson, who said, " He is not my child ; I bought him for a shilling and a pot of beer." Mrs: Mason—The mother took that child from h? house. Mr. Yardley said he had done with the case, and the only way Mrs. Mason could pursue her claim for the child was by application to the judges for a writ of habeas corpus ; and, if she made out the child was her grandson, he would be delivered to her. The parties then retired, quarrelling with each other. STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Feb. 16.—There is a fair amount of business doing in the hosiery trade for the period of the year ; all useful goods are in request, at fair prices. The fancy trade continues dull. At Loughborough, Hinckley, and other county hosiery districts, trade continues tolerably active, and the framework knitters, both in Leicester and the districts around, arc well employed. The pro spects of ahealthy spring trade are good. Spinners are pretty well employed. NOTTINGHAM, 16th.—The lace trade has slightly improved during the week ; more is doing in plain nets, Mechlin nets, and Mechlin quiltings, and, indeed, the cotton branch generally is in an im proved condition ; future prospects are also good. In silk goods the trade is exceedingly quiet. The hosiery trade continues extremely brisk, nearly all branches partaking of the buoyancy. Manufacturers have plenty of orders on hand, and all arc antici pating a good spring trade. The hom e de p artment is brisk, and all useful goods are in demand. Stocks on hand are extremely low, and have been so for some time past. In the country districts, where hosiery is the staple manufacture, the operatives are well employed. Yarns are in good request, and firm. THIS DA.I'SSHIPPING. LoNDON, Feb. 17.—Wind this day at noon S.W. ; dWNW N. •." d Lad PLYMOUTIE, Feb. . .
