FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Lord LINCOLN said, he thought it was only Earl FORT ESCUE presented a petit ion from South Moltnn. necessary to state to the House that het Majesty was not at pre unanimously praying for the total abolition of flogging in th 2 sent properly accommodated. He could assure the Hon.

When he held office his attention had been directed Lord REDESDALE said that he could not suffer this e's- to this matter, and it was found that the palace was portunity to pass without stating, that after a careful review of by no means suited to the wants of her Majesty, and the evidence given on the death of Frederick White, a commission was appointed to inquire into the mat be could not say that he ever saw eviderece taken in a more ter, amongst whom were Mr. Barry sod Sir James objectionable manner than this was.

He that Houle ? thought that a revision, of all Bills as well as Railway Bills Mr. WILLIAMS admitted he had never found a more efficient officer at the head of the Woods and Forests than the was ' , Attired, for inttance, law Bills. He gave notice, that Noble Lord. early next session of Parliament, he would move the adoption Lerd J. RUSSELL was happy to hear the Hon. Member for ot resn'ut ions on the subject, similar to those he had laid on the Coventry make such an admission, but bethought, when he took Wale of their Lordship-.

He believed, considering the convenience that the Bill. Sovereign required, the country could not do less than keep up the Palace of Windsor and Buckingham Palace; aid AS to the suggestions of the Honourab:e Member for Montrose of apdropriatiug Puckingham Paiaee to a public museum and building a palace at Kensington. he thought that entirely out of the question He trusted that next year they would have something wore handsome to look at, and something more commodious for the comfort of her Majesty, than Buckingham Palace at present presented. After sense observations from Captain PECH ELL, Mr. PROTHEROE said he would vote against the grant under the hums teat semetleng better would be done for the accommodation of her Majesty than the grant, if carried into effect, would accomplish. Mr. HUME said that his only object was that the further consideration of this grant should be postponed till inquiry could ).; - e made upon the subject. He thought he should be only .Ining his duty by dividing the House upon the grant if she Government persevered in it. After some observations from Mr. GotmattaN and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, The Con.mittee divided, when their appeared— For the vote Against it Majority for the vote —49 4,5001. was next voted to make good the damage to palaces and public buildings by the storm of the Ist of August. 30,000 e was next proposed in payment •if part. ot th e ex penseof woks in Portland, recommended by the Commis sioners ot Harbours of Refuge, in their report laid before Par liament in the last session. Mr. HUME said, as he understood convicts would be em ployed on these works, he wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir G. Grey) whether the plan of marks for good c.nduct scrotal be iotronuced ? Sir G. GREY said the harbour would afford excellent means of employment for those unfortunate persons. He hoped they would be able to adopt the plan referred to by the Hon. Membet. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote frr a grant of 10,000'. for the erection of a model prison in Ireland, Mr. HUME said that the Government seemed more intent on providing prisons than on taking measures for preventing crime. He wished to know where the plan of that prison was. Sir GEOrtGE GREY said that he could best answer that question by referring to the substance of a later which he hail addressed to the Treasury on the subject. It was the custom in Indeed to ship off the transports as soon as possib'e after the sentence. The letter contained a recommendation for the erection of such a prison; but it did not state whether it was to be in Dublin or elsewhere. The Government would shortly be better able to give more explicit information on that subject. Mr. WILLIAMS was sorry that the present Government was about to take up the crotchets of the late Home Secre tary on this !object. The expense they had been at in erect ing model prisons was very large, and there had been no evi deuce whatever produced as to their utility. S'r GEORGE GREY vindicated the vote, and showed the necessity for such a prison as the vote was required for. Mr. HUME thought there was no use in having a model prison in Ireland, seeing that they had one at, Pentonvilks, which was ii,ten'.ed for the United Kingdom generally. Mr. DUN'.:OMBE said that the prison at Pentonville was conducted in a most admirable manner. The solitary sy,tem, as carried out at the prison at IMitibank, inflicted the greatest miseries upon those who were subjected to the profess. When those individuals were admitted to the sight of a fellow creature they became so much affected that, in several instances, they fainted. Mr HUME wished to know whether the same system as was earned on a' the Pentonville Prison was to be carried out in the proposed model prison for Ireland ? Because the expense of keeping each prisoner was between 14s. and ISa. weekly. Sir O. OR EY— Twe:ve -hiliings. Mr. HU IIE —And at the lapse of three years they put this country to the expense of sending them to one of the penal settlements abroad, whilst they refused to advance to virtuous and industrious young men sufficient to enable them to go abroad for the purposelof obtaining employment, which they could not meet with here. Such a system was an abso lute encouragement to the criminally minded young men of this country. and he should be starry to see such a system carried out et Ireland. Mr HAWES said that he had seen letters that day which spoke in the highest terms of the good conduct of the convicts who had been lately transported. and he thought it. most expe dient to extend the benefits of the system to Ireland. Mr. HUME said that there were many persons who desired to get out far the purposes of emigration, but that they could not go, by reason of the expense, unless they committed some offence. The system appeared to him to give an encourage went to crime instead of doing anything ease.—( Hear. ) The item was then agreed to.— fhe House resumed. In reply to a question from Lord LINCOLN, The CHANCELLOR of. the EXCHEQUER said it was his intention, the first thing on Monday, to call attention to the diieressed state of Irela:.d, and immediately after that question was disposed of the Small Debts Bill, and Navy Esti mates, would be proceeded with. The report on the Small Deb a (Salaries and Compensation) Bill was brought tie, and agreed to. The report on the Lunatic Ayslums and Pauper Lunatics Bill eas brought up, and agreed to. The following reports were then brought up and received: —County Works Presentment Leland—No. 2) Bill (third reading to-morrow) —Public Works Commissioners' Hill (Ire.: land) (third reading In-merrow ).—Public Works, Fisheries, &c., Bill—Public Works (Ireland —No. 3) Bill (third time to-morrow— Public Works and Fisheries Bill. The Public Works and Fisheries Bill was then read a third time and passed. The House then went into Committee on the House bf Commons Officers' Bill. The Claus s having been agreed to, The House resumed, and the Criententer reported progress, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENTS BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that this Bill should go through Committee pro forma. After a few words from Dr. BOWRING and the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the motion was agreed to. The Bill theta went through Committee pro forma, and was ordered to be recommitted to-morrow. The report of the Contageous Diseases Prevention Bill was postponed till to-morrow. PRIVATE BILLS BILL. This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted tomorrow. RATEABLE PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on this Bill. The clauses, with a few verbal amendments, were agreed to, the House resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. DIeTRICT LUNATIC ASYLUM (IRELAND) BUJ... ROBERT OWEN. Lord RROUGH 1M presented a petition from Robert Ownn, late of New Lanark, praying that their Lordships would found a spoem of national edue,tinri on the principles which he had adopted in his several est:iblishnents. On the motion of Lnrd CAMPBELL, the Mandamus (Ireland) Bill, the Interpleader Bill, at d the Citation (scot land) 1111, were s•verally read a chord time and passed . THE F'ARL OE DUNDONALD'S INVENTION. Lard BROUGHAM wished to ask the Noble Litrd at the head of the Admiralty, , Allpther he proposed to inv• Eigate the merits of the invention of the Earl of Dundonald, as be un- derstood that. the discovery of Captain Warner was shortly to be put to thettst? .. _ . _ Lora AUCKLAND said, it would be exceedingly desirable that the invvntion should be tested, an,.l a commission would be appointed for that purpose. Lord BROUGHAM hoped that. the utmost secrecy would be observe I in the trial. Lord AUCKLAND intimat'rcl that this would be done. WASTE LANDS 'OUSTRALIA) BILL Earl GREY proposed Hee second reading of this Bill. The Noble Earl, after describin g the nature of the Bill, said that the number of emigrant's had been 9 985, and the money spent in carrying out the e , ,nigt ants about 1,000 0001. The conse quence hail been teat the rev,• tie, which in 1831 was only 122 0001.. had in 11644 risen to 394,0001. The expo: tations in 1831 amounted to 237, 00., including 75,000/. for wool. while in 1844 they were 871,000 ~ and the wool alone from this colony 'bad risen to 411.000.. It w,,s evident, therefore, that the 'system had worked well for the colony and fur this country. Licences had been granted to the squatters, as tney were called, who had gradually settled upon the waste lands, as it was desirable they should be occupied, amt a space of as much as 1.600 miles in length by 300 miles in breadth, was now held under this system. But t►..,rougheut the whole of that immense territory there was -.int a single place of worship, or a single clergyman to be found for the spiritual instruction of the people. Ferns:it's had followed into the district, and a population was r:edlv gross ing up without any means whatever for the preservation of the cha racter of the people. I „,n the district, however, there was a large number of persons settled, who, prior to their emigration, he a d in this country received the education of gentlemee, . and who were, of course. imbued with all the refinementsf civilised hfe, and in the course of years, therefore, it was but natu►al, that without any means of spiritual hist ructiren, their influence must decline, and ulti mately die out. It was necessary to preserve that influence for the sake of the ; .nhabitants, and that the character of the people should be upbAd, but it was not to be expected that those parties, having only a slight tenure, would go to the necessary expense. • It was, o .ierefore, the duty of the Government to bring it about ; 'Jut this they must do without interfering with the right of. sale, Happily there was a means ce doing this. Cer fain IY,rts of the country were more salueble in consequence of the 'suptily of water, which might be made much more vale by the erection of dams for its retention. Around these eV.stricts the population would concentrate, and it was proposed to grant leases of the lands for fourteen years. But this was evidently too long a period, if you considered the advaece of the population, and he would propose to substitute the term of eight years, with a right of pre-emption to the present oc cupants. In the event of those parties not being able to pur chase the several runs, they might be sold by auction, or let on private valuation. tie proposed to retain the same rate of payment as at present existed. It was further proposed, that at the expiration of the leases, should they not be required to be sold, the former occupants of those lands should be allowed to retain them at leases for e. period of the same length as the former lease:. He propow4 that the passinz of priers for regulating the;a m atters sb Auld be invested in her . Majesty, and that any order made in Council, repealing any former order, should be laid for s x mouths on •he table of both Houses before having any effect. Lord BROUGHAM said, he objected to the power con ferred upon the Crown under the garb of Parliamentary proceedings. Lord LY TTELTON said, be had no intention of troubling the Rouse with any lengthened ,I;iservatiorts, as he a , ,proved of the Bill in principle, though he thought it not altogether pettect to some of the details. The Bill was then read a second ti-,„ . POOR-LAW COWiII'igIONERS. Lord BROI JG H A %1 said ',bat he had ascertained the cause of the delay in mak!n4 the return for which he moved yes terday evenine c , anti he entirely acquitted the honourable gen tlemen who had to perform the duty of Poor-law Commis sioners ',Tom being the intentional cause of it. He knew these irnmissioners to be extremely kitid and humane men, and yet they were called hard-beartrd dictators and iron ti;s positioned men. If there was any fault to be found at al, he th , tight they should find fault with the system, aotl not with the men. Hut even as, it regarded the system, it had been ranch misreoresented, as he believed all the real evils that had *risen were to bto attributed to its n it being carried into full effect. He itiould have it enforced in all its i , tegrity, and when ever there, was any attempt to revive the old pernicious system of out-drym relief, he would must strenuou , ly oppose it. In some instances he saw a disposition to return to this practice but he had no doubt the Commi , sioners, wi• bout being probed to do their duty by him, would take care that the Lractice was abandoned. With regard to the Hills he had proposed for tt e purpose of amending the lares of the country, but especially with re.pect to the crimina, taw, he begged leave to postpone them for the present. hit it was with the hope that the sub ject wo , ,ild be taken till next session, and fully considered and dispostd of. . The Commit ee on this Bill was postponed ill Monday next. ERROR IN THE CORN BILL. Mr. VILLIERS rose to move for a Committee of the whole House to inquire into the operation of the Act lately passed for regulating the averages and the duties on tye, peas, and beans. Some error had arisen from the careless manner in which the Bill had been drawn up, and he trusted, as this was no party question, he would have the support of the Hon. Member for Lynn (Lord G Bentinek). He would, therefore, sit down by moving that the House do resolve itself inte a Committee of the whole House, with the object of placing the articles about which the representations were made under the provisions of clause 4. Messengers from the House of Lords brought down cert a i n Buis, amongst others, the Gram& Jury Cess (Ireland) 13111. Lord G. HEN TINCK said that he readily admitted that it $1,4,4 a Minter which had been committed by the Iste Govern ment—by Gentlemen, who pretended to be the only prac tical men in the country—anti that after having the Bill five rnt nths under their consi 'eration. Ridiculous as this blunder was, he would not give it up without another fight, because he would hold whatever portion of protection was left to them. By the present Bill, while barley aas cheap peas and beans were dear, and when barley was dear peas and beans were cheap. About 6,1 00 quarters of peas and beans were intro duced every week, which returned about 30.0001. a year, a hich he did not think the Chancellor of the Exchequer could affird to give up : but if he were willing, he would eppose it to the utmost, and he would—though it was at the end of August—debate the question as uncompromisingly as if it were at the commencement of the session—a task which they would net much desire. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER said that he did not think the question was of sufficient importance to enter into at that late period of the session. Mr. GOULItURN said that it was not a blunder, but merely a clef ical error, which was of frequent occurrence when a large schedule was attached to an Act. Mr. VILLIERS begged to know whether the Noble Lord the would per severe i n hi s o pp os iti on .

Mr. °MILBURN said he did not object to the juts,- duction of a Bill for the improvement of the Government of New Zealand, but he did not think it was judicious that at such a late period of the session such an intricate question should be discus,ed. yards from his house, on our road to Maidenhead, he pointed out a spot in the road and said, "That's the place where the struggle was." He then said "As to striking- him, I did not strike him at ail; and if he is injured as you say, it must have been done by falling on the stones, for I had no weapon at all with me." The next morning his wife came to see him while in my custody. She said to him in my presence, "It is a pity you had the knife." " Yes, ' he replied, " I had the knife in my hand, certainly, for I had just been cutting the honeysuckle. I should not have pursued them had they not used very bad language towards, and otherwise insulted me." His wife remarked he had brought the knife in in his hand, and laid it down on the table. He replied, "Yes, I know I did." On the same day witness called upon the prisoner's wife, who gave him the knife (produced) as the weapon used by the prisoner. After the examination of a man named Williams, who as sisted Mr. Plumb to the toll-house at Maidenhead Lodge, Mr. Benjamin Bellis, surg.on, who atten ed Mr. Plumb, was sworn. He stated that the wound was inflicted on the left side of the back, four inches below the inferior angle of the scapula, and three inches and a half iron the spine. It was five-eighths of au inch long, extending obliquely from above downwards, and penetrating under the inte gument to the extent of nearly two inches. He could not say positively that he was free from danger at the pre sent time _ _ _ . Mr. C. BULLtR said that the Bill was brought in upon the sante principle as one which the late Government sanctioned. 'I he late Government were prepared to concede a representative Government to the inhabitants of New Zealand. Mr. J. SMITH made some observation which did not reach the gallery. Leave was then given to bring in the Bills. COURT OF EXCHEQUER (IRELAND). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the further regulation of certain offices attached to the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. Mr. MORGAN JOHN O'CONNELL obtained leave to bring in the following Bills for altering and amend ing and registering Deeds and Instruments affecting Real Property in Ireland— Bill for facilitating the sale of encum bered Estates in Ireland for preserving in repair, letting, and generally managing Real Property is Ireland, pending suits regarding such property in Courts of Equity la Ireland—Bill to enable Tenants for Life and Mortgagors in posse•son of Lands in Ireland, to gnat Leases; and to enable Tenants for Life of Lands in Ireland to make exchange ; and for giving a summary remedy fur Partition of Lands in all cases in Ireland—Bill for Registering Births, Deaths, and Mar riages in Ireland—Bill for converting the renewable Lease hold Tenure of Lands in Ireland into a Tenure in fee-simple, and tor apportioning rents issuing out of Lands in Ireland. and for authori.ing the redemption of fee-farm rents—Bill to enable Tenants holding Lands for limited interests, mediately or immediately „under aggregate bodies politic, corporate and collegiate, ecete.iastical and lay, or trustees for charitable or other public purposes, in Ireland, to acquire estates in fee simple in th, same lands, and for other purposes. The New Z.iland Government Bill wet then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. Tne remaining orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Halt-put Seven o'clock. •4., • c: Agio tA 4 , THE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES). t3Klli,il FUNDS. - E CLOS11• O'CLOCK.

MAIDENHEAD, FRIDAY EVENING.—The third adjourned xamination of Anthony Thomas Ryves, a police. constable ( but since suspended) in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, at the Maidenhead station, charged with having stabbed Mr. Henry Plumb, an articled clerk to Mr. Ward, solicitor. of ON town, on the evening of Monday, the 3d instant, took place this afternoon at the Orkney Arm, Inn, in the parish of Taplow, Bucks, befbre the following magistrates of the county :—Caledon George Dupre, Esq , M.P.; Mr. R. R. Clayton, M.P. ; and the Rev. 'l'. Carter. The magistrates commenced their sitting in a room below stairs, but in consequence of the number of respectable per sons desirous of obtaining admission to bear the proceedings. which excited the greate't interest throughout the neigh bourhood, the Bench adjourned to the large room on the first floor, which was crowded during the lengthened Inves tigation. This being the whole of the evidence, Mr. Bozon said, if the magistrates had made up their minds to commit the prisoner, he should advise him to reserve his defence until the period of his trial. The magistrates said, that from the clear nature of the evidence which had been brought before them, they had cnne to the conclusion to commit the prisoner to the county gaol to take his trial at the next assizes fur Bucks, f.r stab bing the prosecutor, Henry Plumb, Iv ith intent to do him some grievous bodily ham. The prisoner was then given into the custody of Mr. Lar kin, the superintendent constable, to be conveyed to Ayles bury Gaol, and the witnesses bound over to attend and give evide ce on the trial. The proceedings, which excited considerable interest, lasted several hours. Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, and Mr. Ward, solicitor, of Maidenhead, attended on the part of the prosecu tion, and Mr. Bozon, solicitor, of Bucklersbury, London, de fended the prisoner. Mr. Bozon having requested that the deposition of Mr. John Mahon Williams, which was made at the prisoner's examination,might he read, Mr. J. J. Williams said he should offer no objection on the part 01 the Crown, and assured Mr. Bozon that no impedi ment t.liould be thrown in the way of the solicitor for the prisoner. The prisoner, who was then brought in in curody of Mr. Larkin, the ,uperintendent constable of the Stoke and Iver districts, left his case in the hands of his legal adviser. Mr. Henry Plumb, the gentleman upon whom the attack had been made by the prisoner, was then assisted into the room, and placed in a chair near the magistrates. He looked extremely pale, and appeared to be suffering from urea' weakness. Up. n b ing sworn, he deposed as follows: —On Monday evening, the 3d instant, I and Mr. John Mahon Williams walked with Mr. Williams, sen., from Maidenhea , i to near the railway station, where we left Mr. Williams, sen., and proceeded on our return to Maidenhead. On passing by the Dumb Bell public-house, hearing some music, we looked in at the parlour window to see what was going on. While We were standing there a boy, who I have since ascertained is a sun of the prisoner, came up and looked at us with an impudent grin. I said to young Williams, " Here is Buttons." Williams said, " Who do you mean?" I replied, " Don't you; know the famous Buttons?" When Williams went up to him, and th e boy ran a little way towards Maidenhead , bridge. He then turned round and said to Wil hams, " You had better come this way and we will give it to you." The boy then ran off towards the cottage in which the prisoner lives, followed by me and Williams. When we got to the cottage, Williams stopped and I walked h h b e e a un r u d a m t m h e e e no b tfi t , ) ,n - B c uh y t et o o u nw t so , , rs M o, n. o tyht the e r eu , np m ga g o we t ,hsaerr Ward," livery a n ‘h‘ d , I wg a oa l rv i en. I told William s h e h a d b etter come on with ma. I o i h t i h i e r e a n u r d t e. After Williams had stopped there for about half a minute, he came running to me, saying', "There's a man running after us. We raa on together for a little way, when Williams dis,,pilearett by creeping hr:Aigh the hedge on the railway site et the neut. The prisoner then Caine running up to me, sized hid of me try the cAar in front with both hands, , :liook me violently, and threw me violently on the ground. When I got up, he rushed at me again. At that moment I saw, for tile tint time, that he had got a knife in his hand. 1 dodged away as he was in the attitude of striking me. I tree' felt the knife enter my body, under the shoulder-blade on the left side. I then tell a second time from the force of the stab upon a heap of stones. When the prisoner first seized me, he asked why I had insulted his boy ? I told him I had nut touched his boy. After I was stabbed the prisoner stood over me, with his arm lilted up and the knife in his hand. I then said to him, "Don't hit me—don't stab me with that." The prisoner then turned towards his cottage, and I ran on as well as I could to the bridge, where I saw two men who assisted me to the toll-house. I was then taken to the King's Arms, where Mr. Belli", the surgeon, , shortly afterwards arrived. Datiiel Sexton, constable of Maidenhead, who produced the clothes warn by the last witness at the time he was at tacked, and which were completely saturated with blood, was then sworn. He said, I apprehended the prisoner about t welve o'clock on the Monday night. He was in bed when I went to his house. I called his name in front of his house several times. At last he came to his bedroom window, and asked me wh a. I wanted with him? I told him he was cnarged with stabbing a young man at Mr. Ward's. He replied, " Pooh, pint, nomeuse t lie is not stabbed, and if he is, I didn't do it kle then came down stairs, and gave himitlf int° my c 14144 47. Whelks a uwaarett staid SCOTCH B INKING BILL.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 14. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) SUPPLY. The House then resnlved itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. GREENE in the chair. —..—..- ....... The first vote was - that a sum not exceeding 132,0001. be granted for the purpose of purchasing meal, potatoes, &c., for those distr;c's in Ireland afflicted by the potato blight. Mr. WILIIAMS protested against the justice of the vote. He conter/ied that the landlords of Ireland should be com pelled tc, feed their own poor. The land of that country was quite fArtile enough to support its people, if it were properly cultivat e d If this vote were granted, it would be a grievous injo,stice to the poor people of this country. There was no secs- ' ry . .y for the repayment o f this mone) by the peril le of Ireland. He ( .ustinctly asked the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the eommenceme, t of this session, whether any more money than Rhe sum then granted (.51,000'.) would be required, and he as distinctly told him that it would not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as there would be a lull discussion as to na •3ur Ire land at twelse o'clock on Monday neZ a tw e te a n ffe 7:e ing w d propose a fur, her grant ; he therefore hoped that all discus- 1400 at present might be pooponed unt ,1 that period. The Earl of LINCOLN said that he was quite willing to justify the conduct of the late Government on this su' jeet, but it it Wa4 agr ?cab! , to the House he Mould abstain trout saying anything until 310 day.—( Hear, hear.) The vote was then agreed to. The sum of 30,000,. was then voted for the relief of the sufferers from the late fire at NewiOun..lar.d. • 2(090/. having been proposed for the relief of the sufferers front, the recent ,aiamity at Quebec, 11r. HUME said that in his opinion the vote was too small, The vote was agreed to. 20 ,0001. was then proposed for enlarging and improving Buckingham Palace, to which BAINE objeHe did not see the necessity of the change, and the slim posed was too great. . The CHANCELL ORP of the EXCHEQUER explained 'the grounds on which th re sum . was asked. Her Majesty had been subjected to very n t inconvenience from the present want of proper accornodgatioa b the palace, and the same in convenience had been felt at wished the House to bear 7* her predecessor. He mind that this was the fi rst sum ever asked by her i llsty for any improve ments since her acce-sion tpornivheem,n,s T hrone.—( Hear, hear. ) The total expense of the im at t he p palace vrouhl a mount to 150,000/, but the suns asked f or at ru pra4Pnt was only 20,000/., leaving 130,00(1/. to be t i ov id e d in years. Mr. PROT HE ROE said that the pre,ent buildin g was not at all befitttng the dignity of the British Sovereign, and he thought that th e better p lan to accommodat e her maj e sty would be by assig nin g p art of St. James's Palk to her eiLlu sive use, and th at the p ublic would agree to such au arran,..-e: moot, if Pall-mall were continued, so as togivea direct cornea-n. nication between Trafalgar-square. and the Chelsea -road. Mr. BERNAL said that the present site of the palace was one of the worst in the metropolis. The neighbourhood would, however, be improve/4 by judicious arrangements. He denounced the System of the Governmen t in erecting a building without taste, and in the most uncles rable situation, and afterwards coming to the country for con' inual bits and hi!s of money, until a perfect an mstrosity of art was the result.—( Hear, hear. ) Captain PECH ELL trusted that, as the people of Brighton surrendered, some years ago. one of the principal entrances to tha town. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, now that be was providing comfort and. aerommod-lion for her Majesty, which be by no - means objected ro, would take steps to place the inhabitants of Brighton in the same position they were in pre , - v iew; to the erect!on• of . the Pavilion.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. H E-thoagb t, before - they laid out any more money on B u ckingtio . relece, they ought to consittirwhetha the BRUTAL INIURD6I-t IN HULL. (From the HO Advertiser.) INQUEST ON THE BODY, AND COMMITTAL OF THE MURDERER. Considerable consternation prevailed in the neighbour hood of Blanket-row at an early hour on Wednesday morn ing, in consequence of a rumour that Thomas Green, a mariner, had murdered his wife. Policeman Gm don entered Green's apartment, which is on the second floor of a house in Hatter's-square, Martin's-alley, where he fraud Green seated in a chair, with a handkerchief before his face, and apparently very melancholy. A short distance from him his wife was laid a corpse on the floor, heingeovered with a blanket. Gor don immediately sent for Inspector Dorsey, who was on duty at the Blanket-row station. and, ..n Green being a-ked if his wife was dead, he answered in the affirm ative, and, without any further interrogatories being put, entered into a staterneni of the circumstances connected with the dreadful tragedy. It seems that his wife was an habitual drunkard, and on that account hey frequently quarrelled. 011 Tuesday evening his brother called at his house, and invited him to accompany him to Drypool feast, to which he consented, but. previous to leaving home, he placed in the hands of his wife about 504. lie returned some about two o'clock next morning, and, in ascending the staircase, he stumbled over his wile, who was laid drunk, and unable to proceed any farther. Perceiving the state she was in he took the door-key from her pocket, and, having obtained admission to the room, he returned to the unfortunate woman, and then commenced a succession of acts of violence which rroduced death. The first inquiry of the husband was with respect to the money, but his wife was unable to answer him, from the combined effects of the drink she had partaken of, and the injury she had sustained, about two hours before the arrival of Green, by falling heavily down stairs. Her husband became enraged ; he dashed her head several times against the stairs, and then, seizing her by the hair of the head, dragged her into the room, where he searched for kis money, but did not succeed in finding it. He then left hold of her, and she fell on the floor. Whilst in that position the husband got into bed alongside his two sons, the eldest of whom is not more than 12 years of age; but after being there about half an hour, he darted out of bed, and again attacked his unfortunate victim, by jumping upon her body. He likewise struck and kicked her, and eventually knocked her head-foremost down stairs, where she lay moaning for a length of time, when the husband carried her up stairs, laid her on the floor, and then retired to rest. On rising shortly before six o'clock he was horror-struck on finding that his brutality had ended in the death of has wife, and his eldest boy called in a neighbour. He was soon after wards taken into custody. An inquest was subsequently held, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wiltul Murder against Thomas Green." MARK ET INTELLIGENCE.

'IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. 16 Richard Dunn, barrister at law, of No. 6, New-stre t, in the city of Westminster, maketh oath, and saith, that Angelina Burdett Coutts, of No. I, Stratton street, and 59, Strand, both in the city of Westminster, is justly and duty indebted to this deponent in the sum of 1'0,0001., by virtue of a certain authority in writing given to this deponent by the said Angelina Burdett Coutts, to draw a bill on the bank of Coutts and Co. for such a sum of money as this deponent should think a lair morepeosation for the injuries alio imprisonments done and inflicted on this de ponent by the said Angelina Burdett Coutts, and for the re covery of damages for which this deponent had at that time commenced legal pi ocredipgs. and which said bill so drawn by this deponent the said Angelina Burdett Courts promised in wri , ing should he duly paid, which said bill, although drawn for the sum of 100.000/ , as compenratinn for the sa , d inju. ries, arid duly pr , sented by this deponent at the said batik aforesaid, dared March 4, 1846, was not paid, and which said bill still remains justly due and owing to this deponent ; and this deponent further saith, that the said Angelina Burdett Coutts is a partner in the sa'd hank aforesaid, and a trader wilhin the meaning of the laws relating to b,nkrupts, as this deponent verily believes, " RICHARD DUNN. Sworn in the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street, this 111th day of August. 1846. before me ( Signed) " EDWARD GOULBURN." As soon as the signature of the Commissioner was a . tachi d to the affidavit, it was handed back to Mr. Dunn, who pro ceeded to the office of Air. Humphreys, the solicitor to Miss Burdett Coutts, and informed that gentleman through the medium of his son, that he ( Mr. Dunn) had no intention by his present proceedings to sue out a fiat of bankruptcy against Miss Burdett Coutts, his object being to oblige her to give bail, that she would proceed to trial in an action for debt, and that if Mr. Humphreys would give him a written undertaking that he would accept the affidavit on behalf of Miss Coutts, he would be perfectly satisfied. If his proposal was rejected, then he should have to adopt measures to enable the affidavit of debt to be served personally on the lady. Mr Humphreys, however, declined interfering, causing Mr. Dunn to be in informed that he must adopt what course he thought proper, on which the Learned Gentleman left the office for the purpose of causing his notice of debt to be served. The following is a copy of the order for payment which has led to the adoption of the recent proceeding s " London, March 4.1846. " Gentlemen—Pay myself or order the sum of One Hundred Thousand Pounds. _ _ " RI.'HARD DUNN. " By the authority of Miss Burdett Coutts. " Messrs. Contra and Co., 59, Strand." Mr. Dunn has also sent a long statement of complaints to Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home De partment, in which he requested the interference of the Government to protect the liberty of the subject, contend ing that as he had removed the indictment by a writ of certio rari into the Court of Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief Baron had improperly committed him to Newgate, because he had not been able to obtain two housekeepers for bsil, although one person who was rejected had 1,6001. standing in his name with the Accountant-General, that he could qualify for a voter for the city of WeAminster, and that if the Lord Chief Baron had the power to commit, it was to the Queen's prison, and not to Newgate, at which latter place he was treated as a felon : that he had applied at the office of the clerk of the indictments at the Central Criminal Court, to be allowed to see the indict ment in which perjury had been assigned, but which had been refused. It will thus be seen from the above statement that still further legal proceedings will be adopted before the matters connected with this extraordinary case are finally terminated. EAST LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY. — On Wednesday last the twenty-second anniversary of this very deserving institution was celebrated in a dinner at the White Conduit HOuse Tavern, Islington, on which occasion about fifty gentlemen partook of an entertainment served up in the usual excellent style of this place. Henry Knight, Esq.. of Basinghall-street, presided as chairman, and was supported by the Rev. I'. Gibson; senior curate of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, accompanied by very appropriate observations of the chair man, and responded to with great enthusiastn by the com pany, Mr. Knight, in a very eloquent speech, proposed success to the " East London General Pension Society," which; he stated. ha.! afforded assistance to ninety aged male and female pensi ,, ners. Ile expressed his regret that the deficient state of the funds of the charity has obliged the Committee from time to time to limit its sphere of useful ness. He however trusted that in the fortle:oming year sufficient funds would be placed at their disposal, so that in obedience to its charitable principle a fuller measure of relief may .be afforded to the deserving poor. The Rev. Mr. Gibson, in a neat speech, proposed the health of the worthy chairman, and promised to preach a sermon for the institu tion. The toast, as was the kind offer of the Rev. Gentle man, was received with great applause. The Secretary then reed a list of donations (which included one of ten guineas from Lord Robert. Grosvenor) amounting to between 50/. and 601. The chairman shortly after vacated the chair, and the party broke up, evidently highly pleased with the evening's proceedings. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN DERBYSHIRE.— A correspondent just returned from au excursion into the north of Derbyshire and Notts, describes the harvest as fast progressing there, at every interval allowed by the thunder storms, which have occurred almost daily for come time. The wheat crop, he says, is almost universally luxuriant, especially the red, being larger in the ear than for many years. This is particularly the case about Welbeck ; but the yield of spring corn seems scarcely equal anywhere to the autumn-sown. Ab out W arsop are s everal fine fields of tut nip•: —one sown broad-cast remarkably luxuriant and for ward, ti•e b u lb s b e i ng already mo re than half grown a nd &mud. There is, however, a ge neral outcry about the potato crop , our correspondent having himself seen man y dug out that, though as fine as could be wished in size, were all In jured by the p r evailing; blight, which seems to have operated more powerfully within the last week or two. The fruitage in that district, so famous for its orchard!, is this year a total failure—few apples, fewer pears, and scarcely a single plum being seen on the trees. Nut s and bramb.e fruit are, however, in great abundance —Derby Reporter. ' CAUTION To i•RADESIkIEN. —FORGED BILLS.—A Polish Jew, name unknown, has lately been obtaining a quantity of good from various tradesmen at the East end, by means of bills of exchange which have turned out to be forgeries. Mr. Calisper, No. 88, Aldgate, is a recent sufferer. The Jaw lately resided in Plymouth, is 28 years of age, 5 f eet 10 inches high, red hair and whiskers. ruddy complexion, and had a paralytic stroke lately, which injured one of hi s e y es . 'l'He BREAKWATF:R AT PORTLAND.— We have much satisfaction in stating that information, which may be relied on, has been received here from London, announcing that it is the intention of Government to proceed with the long talked of Breakwater off Portland, as soon as local circum stances will permit. The liveliest sensation has been excited in %MR* t 713 tt l V t4/l #4""licrfie trthinlgto OBSTRUCTION OF MI DDLE-RO W, HOLBORN. Mr. Taylor, Mr. Mayes, Mr. Baldock, and Mr. White, M.D. Commissioners for paving the united par,shes of St. Andrew's, Holborn above the Bars, and St. George the Martyr, attended b the clerk, Mr. Pugh, waited upon the Lord Mayor on Thursday, at the Mansion House, for the purpose of soliciting his Lordship's assistance in procuring the removal of the dan gerous nuisance of Middle-row, Holborn. Mr. TATUM said that the petition which was presented a few nights ago in the souse of Commons would put his Lord ship in possession of the subject in as brief a manner as pos sible. It was from the Commissioners of Pavements of the districts above mentioned, and was as follows : " That your petitioners, in the exercise of the duties imposed upon them by the Acts of Parliament, by virtue of which the paving of the streets of the Metropolis is entrusted to the con trol of parochial boards, have had their attention directed to the widening and improving of the public streets, and have. out of the parish funds under tbeir control made many improve ments in the thoroughfares in the district over which they have jurisdiction, and they observe with great satisfaction the efforts made by her -4jesty's Government to open channels of communication and widening and improving the streets gene rally. That Holborn, which is one of the two leading avenues from the City westward, is impeded by an unsightly pile of buildings called "Middle-row," which reduces, the thorough fare for foot passengers to nine feet, and renders the carriage way exceedingly narrow and dangerous. That the buildings in Middle-row escaped destruction at the great fire of London, and are extremely old, chiefly of lath and plaster, and without party walls, and two of the houses have lately fallen down, leaving others in a falling condition and dangerous. And, in the judgment of your petitioners, it would be most impolitic to rebuild or repair any part of the premises, and so favourable an opportunity for removing the whole a batruction will not occur for many years if the houses are suffered to be rebuilt. That the removal of so large a pile of building is quite beyond the means at the disposal of your petitioners, and is a measure so important for the community at large, tha: your petitioners are not without hope your honourable House may, in your wisdom see fit, to cause the removal at the public expense. " Your retitioners, therefore, most humbly pray that your honourable House will not allow the presentopportunity fer re moving Middle-row : or a portion of it, to be lost sight of, and hope you will deem the improvement the clearing away of this unsightly obstruction wnl cause of sufficient importance to claim your immediate attention in carrying out the mea ures of her Majesty's. Government for affording increased facilities of transit in the metropolis." The object of the Commissioners was to obtain the favour able interposition of the Lord Mayor as one or the Commis sioners of Public Improvement appointed by Parliament to include the removal of so glaring an obstruction amongst the contemplated improvements in the metropolis. h was true Middle-row was not within the city of London, where his Lord ship's magisterial authorty was available, but it was upon the borders of the city, and any improvement which might be affected there would peculiarly benefit the city. So excel lent an opportunity could not be supposed to be likely to occur again, and as the housn s in both sides had been condemned, anti the property was not worth much, the expense of so.essen dally improving the great thoroughfare of Holboru would nut amount to an item of any consequence amongst the vast mass of changes which are every day taking place. The Loan itlaYox admitted that a very admirable im provement would indeed be produced by the remov.l of aliddle-row, but be did not think it was likely to be re commended by the Commissioners of Public Improvements to be carried into effect, except the parishioners proposed to berr some portion of the expense. His Lordship then in-tanced some parishes which had come forward with offers to pay some part of the expenses incurred by the alterations necessary to increase the traffic and respectability and comfort of the vicinities. The Commissioners apprehended that great difficulty would be met with in the endeavour to prevail upon those who did not reside in the precise locality. to subscribe for an improvement which they might think would not in any degree affect them. For iostance, it could be scarcely expected that the inhabitants of Bedford-row, .and its neighbourhood, would pay a permanent rate to widen an approach to the City of London. It appeared to be, in an especial degree, incumbent upon the City of Lon don to favour the projec,ed alteration. The jurisdiction of the City extended to the widest part of Holborn i and at that spaCious entrance began the contracted and broken thorough fare of Middle-row. With respect to the parishes which his Lordship had described as having contributed to improvements in the more western parts of the metropolis, the advantages to all the inhabitants were so obvious, that not to contribute for such purpose would show very great indifference, either to the public or the private benefits derivable from the widening of the thoroughfares. They believed that if Middle-row were re moved, the proprietors of Staple's Inn, which was a very ancient building, would at once rebuild their fr. , nt. The Lotto Arlevoit asked whether the = omraissioners knew the opinion of Lord Morpeth upon the subject ? The Commissioners replied that his Lordship said that the projected improvements would be most important, and that all that was wanted was the money to accomplish it. His Lord ship had visited the spot on Sunday last, and his impress,on that the improvement ought to be made was considerably strengthened. Some gentlemen who were present during the interview of the Commissioners with his Lordship. but who did not belong to the deputation, said they were convinced it must be the wish of every one who passed the place that she whole of the nuisance should be. as soon at possible, removed. nd that. no thing was more probable than that Mr. Richard Lambert. Jones, who hal - already done so much fnr the City to which be belonged. by the construction of magnificent approaches. would add his high authority to the evidence of the able men who had counseled the application to Parliament under such cir cumstances. The. LORD MAYOR assured the Commissioners that they had his good wishes, and that his Lordship advised them to call a meeting of the parishioners, to take the subject into considera tion, and to determine to what amount they would assist the Government in the work of removing the obstruction. His Lordship intimated that the moment he bad a pecuniary pro posal to make from the parishioners, he should, with great pleasure, place the matter before the Commissioners of Public Improvements, and recommend that the offer should be favour ably entertained. The Commissioners expressed them elves greatly obliged by the warm interest his Lordship took in the question, and said they would, as soon as p"ssible, cause the parisoioners to be called together to discuss it. THE ELEk;TitIC GUN. A series if interesting experiments with phis powerful apparatus were performed on Wednesday. in King street, Westminster, by Mr. Benningtield, its inventor. The machine has on former occasions Is' en described in the pubic journals, so far as its external appearance is conceraed, hut as the principle remains a secret wiih its inventor, nothing beyond conjecture can be known of its construction. Its efficiency as a military eegine was amply demonstrated in what we witnesses: of its powers. whilst its susceptibility of being adapted to the purpose of modern warfare, hate been expee-sed in strong lan guage by Sir Frederick french, Sir Edward Cothington, Sir Howard Douglas, Sir Charles Napier, and many other disinguished officers of both services. The electric gun, as it was exhibited to us, is mounted on three wheels, the third being placed accross the direction of its 1-ngth, so as to swing it round in the mann.-!r of a tra verse or swivel. A target of a clearer -inch iron plate is placed at a distance of about 30 yards from the gun, which was directed against it, and charged will small leaden bullets. Single stints repeatedly followed one another at imperceptibly small intervals of time, and apparently without the smallest effort en the part of tho-e who ‘. manned " the machine. The discharge of a volley from this gun is a matter of the greatest sim plicity ; nor does it appear to be more difficult to lire a hundred volleys successively than one. A continued volley was frequently poured upon the same spot of the target, with an accuracy and effect truly surprising. Of the initial velocity of the shot it would be difficult to speak correctly, as it has not yet b'en tested by the bal listic pendulum, or other instruments employ ed to de termine the momenta of projectiles. That a consider able velocity is easily communicated to a shot by the machine, there can be no doubt. The bullets flat ten tip immediately on touching the target, and frag ments broken off bury themselves deep in the wooden frame. A piece of dry Scotch fir has been penetrate.i by one of the small bullets to a depth of two inches ; and two of them were shown us, which, from the one. having been fired directly upon :he other, were completely welded into one mass. The correctness of the aim is a peculiar feature of the apparatus ; for the barrel can easily be adjusted to any practical angle of depression or of elevation. In the short space of four seconds it eau be brought to bear upon any two different points, and a tremendous quantity of lead showered upon the spot. For ricochet firing it seems to be admirably adapted, and there appears little reason to doubt that as an ab- , solute concentration of infantry, which it in fact : is, it would be found invaluable in either branch' of the service. The fatal havoc that a machine of the kind could create in an ambuscade or in an intrenchment, can he easily conceived. Its rapidity of execution in clearing any curtain of a fortified place, a drawbridge or bridge of pontoons, in cutting down a marching column, or in defending a breach or mountain pass, is taco a matter on which no doubt can be reason ably entertained. In attacking a fortress the machine appears capable of doing great service, by a simple and elegant manoeuvre. Guns of this kind being drawn in the rear of the advancing party, the files immediately before it have only to separate sligotly, in order to allow a few volleys to be discharged, which would certainly unman the guns of a bastion, curtain, or breast-work. Its great lightness, the certainty of its aim, the tre mendous quantities of metal it is capable of discharging within the shortest time, and the extreme risk and diffi culty of taking it, must render it alike the treasure of the service which employs it, and the terror of the enemy.

FEARFUL SITUATIoN.—A Mr. Gray, of Providence, painter of the congregational meeting-house, in Kingston, Rhode Island, last week ascended the steeple to take off the vane for gilding, and having left the ladders, climbed the iron spire to the distance of twelve or thirteen feet above, re lying upon the hall, half-way up the spire, to rest his feet on, and from which position he could take the vane off with his right hand. While he was in the very act, the ball on which his feet rested gave way and ran down the spire. At this moment he was raising the vane over the end of it ; as he did so, the spire growing smaller, made a convenient place for his thumb to keep the balancer in the gudgeon bore, when the hall gave way under him and sank. The vans falling back with his thumb in the gudgeon bore, held him . d fast, with his feet dangling in the air. He remained in this perilous situation until a man ascendedspire, and placing his shoulder the under his feet , at once relieved ' an big. The awe was terrible to behold.—Anterrc Parer .

FRONTIERS or GALAcza, JULY 26.—The harvest is al ready begun in the eastern s„•-ircles of Galacia, and the cheerful countenances of the peasants and the nobles prove, that happily for this unfortunate country, there will be a most abundant harvest. In some circles, howe;'er, they look for ward to the harvest with fear, because the peasants threaten not to suffer the nobles to have the whole produei, Most of the nobles pass the summer in the towns, and the magis trates of the circle has given the strictest orders that no one shall be injured in his right, and that every excess on tbe part of the peasantsseverely punished. It is natural that the great fear of the nobles iccreaee the insolence of the peasants. However, as there is nothing to give occasion to further per** secution their threats may, perhaps, be as a milder interpre tation, conformably to the Polish character. Everybody is anxiously looking for the arrival of Count Stadion, the impe rial Commissioner, who is• daily expected. It is generally as serted at Cracow that Mr. Von Shindies, formerly President of the Senate, will shortly return and take part in the Go vernment. VIENNA, AUG. I.—lt seems to be worth mentioning that the Amsterdam Observer communicates to its readers, with out curtailment, the address of the Estates of olstein against the letters patent. KIEL, AUG. 7.—lnstead of the members of the Estates of Holstein, who withdrew from it, the substitutes are, summoned to meet at Itzehoe. It is estimat ed that the Assembly of the Estates cannot be sufficiently completed to come to any resolution, since there must be at ' least three-fourths of the total number present (that is 36 el the 48), and it is supposed that, under the most favourable circumstances, the Government will not be able to bring together more than 30, or at the most 32 members. VIENNA, Ansi. I.—lt is said that Sir Robert Gordon, the English Ambassador, is to be succeeded by Lord Moira. - Much is here said, in the higher circles, of the visit which the King of Prussia paid to Prince Metternich at.
