BRITISH/POSSESSIONS LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE S. LEWIS INGRAM. This bankrupt was described as a merchant in the Afri can trade in London, Bathurst, and the Gambia, and to-day was appointed for choice of assignees. Mr. Weston (Weston and Co., Moorgate-street) appeared in support of the petition, and from a preliminary state ment it appeared that the debts and liabilities are about £7,000, and assets about £2,000. There is, however, a very large amount, about £17,000, set down as bad and doubtful debts. Proofs were taken to a large amount, and eventually Mr. Bellot, of Great St. Helen's, and Mr. Ehmspergen, of Laurence Poultney-place, were chosen trade assignees, and Mr. Wells, of Moorgate-street, solicitor. Mr. Weston is the accountant to the estate. IN RE CHARLES. This bankrupt had carried on business as an Italian warehouseman in Bond-street, and came up on his appli cation for certificate. This was one of the cases showing the necessity of the amendment of the law of bankruptcy. It appeared from the statement of the learned counsel who attended tin the bankrupt that he had been formerly in business with another person, and the trade was prosperous—actually showing a profit. Through unforeseen circumstances and misfortunes he fell into difficulties, but was only pressed by ono creditor. An assignment was made, but under the assignment clauses it was found to be invalid, and the result was that the bankrupt came to this court on a declaration of insolvency. His Honour—l have nothing to do with the motives. You have put the law in motion, and I deal with the case in that way. The learned counsel said his only object in addressing the Court on the point was, to explain why the bankrupt had not in the first instance come before the Court on his own petition. He had been advised by his creditors tomake an arrangement. His Honeur--Under tho circumstances you can take a second-class certificate with an allowance of £2 per week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING HALF A SHEEP.—Charles Cole , a young lad, well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing from the shop of Mr. George Stratten, butcher, of 51, Davies-street, Grosvenor-square, the half of a sheep under the fbllowing circumttances Mr. Walter Stratton, son of the prosecutor, said that on the previous evening about a quarter to seven, while stand ing at the side door he saw the prisoner get on the slab in front of the shop and take down the half of a sheep pro duced and put it on the slab, but evidently thinking he was perceived he started off. He (witness) went in pursuit and *aught him at the corner of Brook-street, when he begged to be let go. The value of the meat was 225. Butcher, 137 C, said on taking the prisoner into custody he said " Oh, Mr. Cole, is it you ?" and-- Mr. Bingham—Then you know him, I suppose. Butcher said that ke did, and that he had been convicted several times. Barnes, the under gaoler, said he was a well known young thief. Prisoner said he knew he was, and was guilty. Mr. Bingham said he should not deal with the ease him self, and, with the view of former convictions being proved, remanded the prisoner for a week. ASSAULTING THII POLICIL—Three young men, named Thos. Reid, Robert Dodson, and Edward Morgan were charged with committing a brutal assault on 205 constable and 206 constable, and committed for 14 days each. THAMES. STEALING TALLOW FROM A WA.Mlllol7Bl3.—George Wyatt, a labourer, and James Grimshaw, a carman, were brought before Mr. Yardley, on remand, charged with stealing 181bs. of Russian tallow, value 10s. 6d., from the premises of William Hutchings Douglas and Co., ship chandlers, No. 8, Upper East Smithfield, opposite the St. Katherine Docks. On Saturday evening the prisoner Grimshaw, a carman, drove a van belonging to his employer to the premises of the prosecutors, and said ho was sent by Mr. Gilbert for a load of rope. Directly afterwards Grimshaw was seen in earnest conversation with Wyatt, who is in the employ of Douglas and Co., and after they separated Wyatt passed rapidly through the shop and went to the van in the street. He deposited something in the van and then hastily re turned. Grimshaw was at the same time wiping his hands in the warehouse. Mr. Frederick Lowell, the prosecutor's shopman, wont to the van soon after Wyatt left it, and found there 181bs. of Russian tallow, similar to that in the warehouse, where seven or eight cwt. was deposited. The tallow was kept two or three yards from the place where Grimshaw was seen wiping Ws lianas. Ha denied all knowledge of the tallow found in the van. William Grocer, in the employ of Mr. Douglas, stated that he saw Grimshaw come into the 'warehouse of his em ployer on Saturday last, and about three quarters of an hour afterwards he missed a lump of tallow. He had no doubt the tallow found in the van was the property of Mr. Douglas. Queenby, a police-constable, said the case had been re manded to afford an opportunity of ascertaining whether any more tallow was missing. He was not able to trace any more tallow to the possession of the prisoners. Grimshaw asserted his innocence, end denied all know ledge of the tallow in his van. Wyatt pleaded guilty to the charge of 'stealing the tallow. Mr. Yardley said there was no doubt of Wyatt's guilt, and that he had robbed his employer, whose property it was his especial duty to protect. He sentenced Wyatt to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The case was one of suspicion against Grimshaw, but tbere was not sufficient to convict him, and he must be discharged. THE CASE OF THOMAS GIESOH.-1 he term of imprison ment in this case (inserted in our paper of yesterday) was inadvertently omitted. The prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with bard labour. 211141 DAY'S MARKETS.

FEARFUL COLLISION BETWEEN Two STEAM VESSELS ON TIER RlVER.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, a serious collision took place in the river, off Greenwich, between the iron screw stearnves el Gertrude and the General Steam Navigation Company's paddle steamer Holland, bound to London from Ostend, with passengers and general cargo. It appears that the Gertrude was proceeding down the river, under full steam, and when nearly abreast of the Dreadnought floating hos pital, she dashed her stem into the starboard bow of the Holland, which, being a timber-built vessel, was cut down to the water's edge. As both ve - sselsvieyinder full steam, the force of the collision was terrific ; 1 e stem of the Ger trude wont completely into the forecastle of the Holland, and one of the crew, named Wormly, was severely injured, and convoyed to the Dreadnought Hospital. As might be expected, the utmost alarm prevailed amongst the passen gers, and, considering the nature of the accident, it is an extraordinary fact that no lives were lost. As a result of the collision, the two vessels became entangled, the liol. land dragging the anchors of the Gertrude, and both vessels thus proceeded to the opposite shore of the Isle of Dogs. A large number of craft were quickly in attendance, and the whole of the cargo was removed from the Holland, the pas. stingers, several of whom were ladies, being removed to the Greenwich-pier, whence they proceeded to London. Mr. Beardmore, superintendent of the General Steam Naviga tion Company's Works at Deptford, with a gang of ship wrights, subsequently proceeded to the Isle of Dogs, and at five o'clock the Holland was conveyed to the Docks to repair her damages, which are very extensive. The weather was hazy at the time of the accident; after which, the Gertrude rendered every assistance to the Holland, or she must have gone down. After seeing the passengers con veyed on shore, the. captain of the Gertrude proceeded on the voyage to Ireland, HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEIXER. took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Andover and Redbridge, and Bagenalstown and Wexford Railway; Banbridge, Lisburn, and Belfast, and Ulster Railway Campanies ; Belper Water ; Central Wales Railway ; Hinckley and Leicester Railway; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (Croydon to Balham Hill) ; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (Deviations and New Lines, &c.) ; Metropolitan R a il wa y ; N orw i c h and Spald ing ailway ; Trnro Pert and Navigation; Ulster Rail way ; Upsall, Normanby, and Ormesby Railway ; Wave ney Valley Railway. - PETITIONS. Petitions were presented from the merchants of Calcutta, in favour of improved government in India; against the abolition of church rates ; and from the shipowners of Liver pool, praying for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the burdens affecting the shipping interest. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that, on the motion for the second reading of this bill, he would move an amendment, to the effect that a committee be appointed to inquire into the defects of the bill introduced last evening, as well as the Petitions Inquiry Act. APPEAL IN CRIMINAL CASES BILL. Mr. M'MAHON, in moving the second reading of this bill, said the measure was entirely free from those provisions which were considered objectionable in the measure which he introduced last session; therefore he trusted it would not encounter any opposition. His bill was intended to remedy an anomaly in the existinc , state of the law. In civil actions a suitor in a matter where perhaps only £lO or £2O formed the subject of the action might have a new trial, a but in cases where greater stakes, even life itself, wer e at issue there was no appeal from the finding of a jury. The consequence was that a man who was tried for an offence of the gravest character had no protection whatever against the caprice of a judge or the ignorance of a jury, but an appeal to the Herne Secretary. Every one who had paid attention to the subject and was competent to express an opinion had decided that that was an anomaly that should not be suffered to exist any longer. Having cited the autho rity of Lord Campbell and the late Lord Denman, he said it had been proved that one-sixth of the whole cases in civil actions there was an appeal, and the verdicts were set aside on the ground of the wrong finding of the jury or the misdirection of the judge. Chief Baron Pollock was exa mined before the committee on criminal law in 1835, and expressed his opinion that a motion for a new trial was as essential in criminal, as well as in civil cases. In France, when the judge considered that the finding of a jury was at variance with evidence, he had the power to order a new trial before a new jury, and in America the right of ap peal also existed. The commission which inquired into this subject had also considered that the right of appeal was one that should be exercised, and he was: acquainted with a case that had recently occurred at Hereford, in which a learned judge refused to receive the verdict of a jury. In former times, the right of appeal existed in this country, and when they were rendering the criminal law more humane every day, was Rd* they should retain a practice that was unjust towards a criminal and opposed to the opinion of some of the most eminent jurists of every country. His bill, therefore, merely proposed to as similate the law with that of France and America, and to revive the former usage which prevailed in this country. Mr. W. EWART seconded the motion but suggested, with a view to prevent opposition, that the bill should be referred to a select committee. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the bill would not materially alter the prerogative of the Crown, and if carried in its present form would not effect any practical benefit. He contended all authority was against the hon. and learned gentleman, and referred to the committee of the House of Lords in 1848 in support of his opinion. Loris Brougham, Denman, and Lyndhurst were in favour of the view taken by Baron Parke and Baron Alderson, namely, that there should be no alteration in the law in this coun try with respect to criminal appeal. Several other distin guished judges held the same opinion, and he believed that only two witnesses, including Sir F. Kelly differed &ern their views. In very few countries was there any trial by jary, and referring to those States of Europe in which the right of appeal existed, he said that in Belgium that right was allowed only in three cases, where a person had been con victed twice of the same offence, where perjury was committed, or when the party who was supposed to have been mur dered was found to be alive. (Laughter.) There was nothing in the case of Dr. Smethurst—there was nothing whatever that justified an alteration in the present law. He had paid careful attention to the facts connected with that person's trial, and his recommendation to her Majesty to exercise the royal prerogative in his be kalf was not founded upon facts, but selely in consequence of the medical testimony add u c e d at that trial. Unfortunately, medical science was in that state with reference to poisons, that it led to a difference of opinion with regard to the deductions that were to be made from the medical testimony at that trial. He believed the bill would produce several evils of a very serious character. In the first place, there would be delay and nneertainty in the administration of the law, and punishment to be effective must be speedy and certain, and it would be productive of considerable expense to the coun try. In proof of the last evil, he thought hon. members mast at once perceive its force, because, if they granted a right of appeal in every case of conviction, they must sup ply the party convicted with the means of making an ap peal, which must be imposed on the county rates, or on some branch of revenue in that house. It should also be borne in mind that the appeal to the Home-office was direct, rapid, inexpensive, and unincumbered with official forms. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. DEN MAN bore his testimony, as a session barrister, to the general correctness of verdicts of juries in ciiminal 11.6 had considerable experience, and only in one it...- stance did he feel justified in questioning the justice of a verdict, which, however, from an observation of the prisoner afterwards he was satisfied was perfectly correct. He thought the provision of the bill, by which the expense of an appeal was to be borne by the prisoner, was fatal to it, and rendered it, in fact, only a measure for the rich, not for the poor. On the other hand, if the country were to defray that expense, it would place the person convicted in a better position than the person acquitted, which he maintained was clearly unjust. However, he was by no means satisfied with the present state of the law, and would have supported a motion for a committee to inquire into the subject if the auestion had been brought before the house in tbat form. Mr. PHILIPS supported the amendment. Mr. E. JAMES followed on the same side, and contended that the machinery of the bill would not effect the object contemplated. It would also impose on the Court of Queen's Bench an amount of business that it could not discharge ; and he complained of the present Court of Criminal Appeal being entirely ignored by the measure. He thought perhaps that they might commence with ex tending the right of appeal to cases of capital conviction. The subject should be dealt with in a comprehensive spirit, and an ill-considered measure would do more injury than benefit. Mr. GEORGE supported the amendment. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Mellor, Mr. Henley, and the Solicitor-General opposed the bill, _ Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR expressed his regret he did not agree with all the provisions of the bill, but ho thought the Government should have given some promise that a measure on the subject would be introduced. (Hear, hear.) Speaking from his own experience, and from all he had heard, he had the greatest confidence in the mode in which the Homo-office exercised its preroga tive of mercy. Mr. LONGFIELD suggested that the bill should be re ferred to a select committee, and advocated the formation of a tribunal to revise verdicts involving forfeiture of pro perty or life. He concluded by calling on the hon. member to withdraw the measure, considering the opposition with which it had been received. Mr. M'MAHON replied, and said he would not press the house to di ride. The motion for the second reading of the bill was nega tived without a division. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL. After a short discussion, the debate on the second read ing of this bill was adjourned till the 29th inst. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. Mr. LAING moved that a sum not exceeding £13,230,000 be granted to her Majesty, to pay off and discharge Ex chequer Bills charged on the aids of 1860, unprovided fur. The vote was agreed to, and the house resumed. ST. MARY RYDAL ARRIAGES VALIDITY) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CALAIS NIGHT MAIL.

PROVIDENT CLERKS' BEN.EVOLENr FUND. SIR ARCIIIBALDALISON ON RIFLE CORPS. The formal swearing in of the members of the 17th company of the Lanarkshire Volunteer Rides' (the Stockbrokers' Corps) took place in the Glasgow Stock Exchange, on Saturday. Previous to the commencement of the proceedings all the corps signed their names to the oath, which was adminis tered by Sheriff Sir Archibald Alison, Bart. The hon. baronet subsequently addressed the oorpr, in an able speech, from which we make the following extracts :—" While I entirely disagree from my gallant friend Lord Melville, who expresses an ad verse opinion as regards this movement—an opinion which I know is entertained by many others who take high rank in arms—l, at the same time, will yield to no man in the opinion thar.sich, in great degree, is not only erroneous,- hilt that the more the matter is sifted, the More it will be found that not only will the volunteer 'force be of great service in the event' of danger, but that the existence of such a force is .absolntely essential to the maintenance hereafter of our national inde pendence. The volunteer force should not be looked upon as a temporary effusion of patriotism or loyalty, suggested, it may be, by the success of the French arms in Italy. I would wish that it may be a permanently established and a permanently or ganised force, like the National Guard of France, for the defence of the Country, and that the know. ledge of the use of arms may become an essential part of every gentleman's—l may add of every re-. spectable person's—education. And let me further' add, as an. inducement to such a practice, I would suggest that no lady in the country should ever re ceive any gentleman who cannot appear before her in uniform. (Loud laughter.) I say this in sober earnestness, because I feel strongly that, without the formation of volunteer corps to support the regular , army, we cannot hope for any length of time to maintain our national independence, situated at 4 we are, alongside of great military powers pos sessing five times our regular force, and who any . day may throw a large number of troops upon our shores. The use of a volunteer force lies here: Any man practically acquainted with war knows that one-half of an army that is brought into the field is necessarily absorbed in other duties, which, if there aro no volunteers to support them, must detract from the principal body. If 60,000 men are brought into the field, 30,000 will almost be out of the way in the discharge of various duties, and in that way a force of 100,000 on paper will be reduced to 50,000 or 60,000. That was the case with the Duke of Wellington in the Penin sula. Here is the inestimable use of the volunteers —they are auxiliary to the regular army. They take up the secondary, but most important duties of the army, and enable that body to present a corn. peratively strong and invincible front to the enemy. T will pcmpinae with this remark—and it is one of great importance—that, in the present state of the country, we cannot rely on having such a regular force as willbe necessary for the national defence, if not supported by an equal number of volunteers. We sea that India now requires 80,000 men to maintain these dominions, and the other colonies absorb 40,000 or 50,000. There are thus at least 100,000 men who must be always out of the country. Great Britain should have 200,000 regular auxiliaries, and that is 100,000 more than are now in arms; and yet, in the event of an inva sion it would be necessary to put one-half of the army into our naval fortresses, which must be main tained at all hazards, for if once they were taken we would be at the mercy of the enemy. But gentle men, if that regular force, though small, is sup -1-• orated by an equal number of volunteers, who could fall upon the flanks and rear of an invading army, and prove, as Napoleon said, a devouring fire to those who violate the territory of the great na tion,' in that case they will serve an essential pur pose to their country, and if they are put into for tresses I am perfectly assured that they will act just as well as any man to be found in the regular army, and I know that the company now before me will stand in the breach as valiantly as did the Spanish volunteers at Saragossa. (Hear, and ap plause.) I look upon the present as a great public movement, which I trust is to put the defences of the country on a solid and permanent foundation; and I must add that it is now the duty of the Go vernment to take the matter into its own hands. (Hear, hear.) The nation has done what may t ru ly be ca lled its duty, for it has furnished a mass of magnificent material,' as Sir John Burgoyne says, for an army,' and it is the duty of the Govern ment to come forward now and arrange it into regi ments and brigades, in which position alone it can be capable of efficient duty. (Applause) I trust that this organisation of the troops will be immedi ately effected, and that henceforward Great Britain will be able to repose with no less oor,fidence on the volunteers than on the bravery, skill, and dis cipline of the army." THE ISLE OF PORTLAND. We take boat from Weymouth Quay, and 20 mi nutes' steaming brings us to the stony island. A 1 veritable Arabia Petrica it is : we land among blocks 1 of stone, some half-mile from our destination ; we walk through lanes of piled stones, only to cern* upon other and similar lanes, till we emerge on the stony road leading to the breakwater. Every soul on board our boat seems bent on the same errand as ourselves : being well instructed before hand, we do not follow the multitude in this ease, but bravely face the hill which lies before us, and making up our minds fora stiffish climb, get first upon the table-land forming the chief habitable part of the island. Once there, we shall confess that our toil was not in vain, for from this Vern Hill, as it is called, is as lovely and strange a view as we ever remember to have seen. We are now opposite the Nothe, on which we lately stood, but at a much greater elevation : at our feet lie the vessels,--- liners, frigates, and the monsti r , swarming with dwarf life ; big boats and little boats, steamers and :-ailing craft all about and around her. To our left the narrow red line of pebble beach, with the and flecked everywhere on the blue water smooth as a mill-pond r w o i l tthheiswshiditee, foam of the restless waves, stretches . away and away beach which gives such pecult distance ; it is this so mile after mile till it is lost in . the warm hazy arity to the view; itis s i singular,seeit for the unlike could first time y in i c .s ip to io o n bp t r f i o g r h ti t; and fail to be impressed with its strangeness and h d ood look Titanic ; beautv. But there are other things bosides the vise We turn landward, and here are I :n dvo l h :1i propose abundance, oesneint ot lgie oi r; b cantonments, tahbey and last, not least, the well-known Portland prison. Here and the scene is too inspiring, to j fi f f r c:A r i t n e i o n s , make us wish for painful sights and as soc i at i ons, so we will be con tent with remarking that the • convicts, numbering about 1,500, are for the most part employed in pro curing stone for • the construction of the breakwater; the results of their labours we shall see more by and bye ; but we must clearly understand that though thus employed, they have nothing to do directly with the works, but labouring within proper boun daries, and under strict supervision, they are sepa rate from the ordinary workmen, and do but sup ply the raw material from the quarries on the hill. —Once a Week.
