Lord CAMPBELL brought up the report of the Com mittee on the Common Law Procedure Bill. Oa the motion of the Noble and Learned Lard it was ordered to be considered on Friday. PETITIONS. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented several peti tions from Durham and other places against the grant to Maynooth. The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from females in Tyrone in favour of the inspection of nun neries. WAR IN AVA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGE wished to know whether the Government were iu a position to lay the papers relating to the war in Ave on the table ? The Noble Lord complained of the conduct pursued towards General Godwin, whose character had been maligned j net as he was about to start upon a most arduous ex pedition. • The Earl of DERBY was understood to say that no blame whatever attached to the character of General Godwin. From the information which had been last • received it appeared that the King of Ava had not positively refused to give any reparation; he had sent no answer to the message which had been trans mitted him. The diipatch alluded to by the Noble Lord would be laid upon the table in a few days. On the motion of the Earl of LONSDALE, the Ee. clesiastical Jurisdiction Bill passed through Committee. On the motion of the Bishop of SALISBURY, the Protestant Dissenters Bill passed through Committee. BISHOP OF CHRISTCHURCLI (NEW ZEALAND) BILL. The Bishop of OXFOR D,,ia moving the second read ing of this Bill, took the opp oitunity of passing an enlo gium on the conduct of the Bishop of New Zealand in that island, the effect of which was to give a hope th a t New Zealand would b ecome a point where the healing blessings of Christianity might be spread over the groups of islands in that neighbourhood. The Bishop of LONDON also concurred in the eulo glum passed by his Right Rev. Friend. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Th e Disabilities Repeal Bill was read a second time and passed. Their Lerdehips then adjourned until Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 18.

The MiaLter of War gave a grand breakfast on Monday to the Arab chiefs, and a large number of generals and other officers who have served in Al geria. After breakfast, the chiefs- were invited to enter the drawing-rooms, where several magnificent presents in arms, &c., were offered to tbem by the Minister. The Minister at the flame time encouraged them to perse vere in the fidelity which they had hitherto manifested towards France. " YOu must have perceived," added he, " during your short stay in Paris, the extent of our strength ; and, on your return, you can tell your countrymen that if France knows how to recompence with munificence her faithful servants, she is powerful enough to chas tise her enemies." Si Tahar, one of the chiefs. replied in the name of the deputation, saying—" We will carry back with us an ineffaceable remem brance of the grandeur of France and of the kind reception which we have received from the Govern ment and the population. Reckon us amongst your most faithful subjects, ready to take up arms for our common interest, wherever you may meet with enemies." Ti.o Minister then conducted the chiefs to the Elpe.i, where the Prince President gave them an audience of leave. On their being admitted, the Prince expressed how much he bad been pleased to see them take part in the late military fetes, and said that his &sire was to be ab!se one day to return the visit which they now made to France. He recommended them to profit by the benefits of the peace which existed, and then added : " I reckon you amongst my soldiers, and I have shown that I do so, by placing you in the midst of them." The Prince then presented to each a rich present, the Agha Mahomed-bel-Hadri preferring to everything that could be offered him a portrait of the Prince. The President also distributed amongst them three decorations, one to the son of Gan. Bsn Ismael, killed in the French service; a second to his nephew, Et Mee ery ; and the third, to the Agha of the Beni Ameur. The Prince also presented Colonel Durrieu, under whose care the Chiefs have been placed in. Paris, with a superb carbine. The Arab deputation is to leave Paris this day. The Prefect of the Seine gave a grand banquet on Friday to the principal officers of the army of Paris. M. Berger had on his right General de St. Arnaud, and on his left T.I. de Persigny, the 'other Ministers being also present. After the dinner had terminated, M. Berger rose and said : " Gentlemen,—l propose to you the health of Prince Louis Napoleon, the noble chief of our valiant army— to him, who; in replacing on our colours the imperial eagles, has restored to oar national colours their ancient fclal.—(Bravo, bravo 1) May, for the honour of France, these glorious witnesses of our immortal victories now preside over long years of peace and prosperity. Vive Louis Napoleon!' "—(Cheers.) After the applause had subsided, M. de Persigny rose and said : " Gentlemen,—l propose to you, the army, which, in the'midst of the disorder of men's minds and anarchy of idea, and when all around it appeared corrupted or demoralised, preserved in its ranks French honour, the sentiment of duty, the feeling of devotedness to the country, and with the disdain cf wealth, all the virtues which constitute great nations. Gentlemen, your fathers of Marengo, Austerlitz, Wagram, and la M0300W3, performed great feats. They fertilized with their blood throughout the world the germs of an ides of civilization, and while casting lustre on the French revolution, pnriaed it so thoroughly, and esused it to take such root in tho mind of the world, that it is henceforward invincible.—(Loud applause.) Well, then, you have done even more—for in a time, of corruption and madness you have preserved the virtue of your fathers, and in following the nphew of the Emperor in his couragelus enterprise, you have even saved the honour of France.—(ltenewed applause.) Be proud than, gantlet:inn; resume your eagles, to the whole world knows that you are as worthy as your fathers to decorate your standards with them. I drink to the 4 French Army.' "—(Cheers.) At these last words all the guests rose, and drank the toast with great enthusicsm. General de St. Arnaud returned thanks. He said : " IlseiTi ! Gentlemen, in the name of the army, for Y o rz L eordiakreception; honour to the city of Paris,. one "esa,children lam proud to be.

OF LIFE. eat 's ship Cleopatra, the steam - frigate Semi ramis, a . of her eteamer Plato—the latter two veesels belonging to the t o S East India Company—returned ingnaciporpeuanfitsehrthane unsuccessful endeavour CO meet with a Sabo pirates on the east coast of Borneo, who were con cerned in cutting off the echooner Dolphin, hilts mur der of Mr. Burns lied his conspinions. Mu cu ssion has of late taken place on the subject of piracy in the Archipelago, and wiao are and who are not pirates; but of the character of the men against whom the expeet don under Captain Massie, of her Majesty's ship Cleo patra, was sent, there is not the least doubt entertained. The head-qnarters of the Suloo, Lanuc, and Manua, piratical prahus, which scour the Indian Archipelago, h as sestuently been pointed out from the days of Delrympte to the present, but it was not until the re- I cent outrage on Mr. Burns that the English authori ties adopted a single step to punish the pirates in their strongholds, and on the present occasion they have been completely unsuccessful. The following particulars will show what manner of people these marauders are : having coated both steamers at Labuan, the expedition sailed for Maluda, the Cleopatra a short time in advance. Mr, St. John, acting commissioner, and Captain Brooke, better known as the Rajah Muda of Sarawak, were on board the Cleopatra. Captain Massie's boats pro ceeded up the Menggatat river to the house of a chief who was known to be in league with a party of Lanun pirates, but nothing was done, the object losing merely a demonstration. At Mainda in formation was received of the murder of Mr. Wind ham, at Suloo, by the chief minister of the Sultan, but on inquiry at Singapore the report turned out to be untrue, Mr. Windham being at Mania, at the time. After much difficulty the Cleopatra was taken through the Malawalli passage, and at length reached Tnngku, the principal head-quarters of the Saloo pirates. The steamer's boats tried river after river be fore reaching the one they were in search of. Having anchored below the river, an expedition was formed of sixteen boats in two divisions, the light boats b under the direction of Captain Burbank of the Pluto, and the heavy boats under Captain Stephens of the Se miramis. Captain Massie, accompanied by the Acting Commissioner, proceeded in the Cleopatra's gig. White flags were hoisted in moat of the boats, aed after two hours' pulling they reached the chief's house, and on the top of the room they placed a white flig in token of a peaceful visit, and to induce the inhabitants to approach ; not one, however, appeared, they having flsd before the boats reached the place. Whilst they were meditating on the step next to be taken, they were suddenly saluted with a shower of balls, or rather shots, issuing from the jungle, killing one of our men and wounding two other;. Having thus shown a hostile disposition, Captain Massie immediately directed preparations to be made for acting on the offensive. A smart fire was returned from the marines, firing in the direction whence the smoke was observed, but without any effect. The boats then re turned to the shipping. On the 17th the flotilla pro ceeded to the place, with the view of inflicting a severe punishment for firing upon the flag of truce. The small arms men were placed on one side of the river, and the marines on the other. The stockades were reached, but the guns had been removed. Scouring par ties went in all directions, but not a man was visible. Some of the pirates, however, advanced stealthily through the jungle to the stockades, and fired, and a party of them - fired on the boats, wounding three men, one mortally. Yet not a soul was observable. Whenever smoke was seen to issue from the jungle the place was immediately in vested, but the daring, adventurous Lacuna managed to escape. Finding this mode of warfare very discourag• ing, orders were given to destroy all the buildings, made of bimboo and cadjan, and soon replaced, together with large granaries of rice, which being accomplished the flotilla returned with the loss of several men killed and wounded, without the satisfaction of knowing they had even wounded a single Lenun. From the absence of their prahus it i 3 believed the pirates were absent on a piraticel expedition, but it h equally probable that their prahus and themselves were concealed up some of the numerous and to us unknown rivers abounding in that quarter. Hamburgh to the Cape of Good Hope ; in America, frem Halifax to the River Plate ; and from the Panama Gulf to the southernmost limit of Chili ; and in it is comprehended the whole of the sea coast of Asia. The Dutch end the Spailiards are indebted to her for conveying their mails to and from Java and the Philippines; and she carries the c3rra spon&nce of every maritime power in Europe which has dependencies in the west. Her power to do good by pecans of cheap foreign postage is enor mous. By it she could materially advance civi lization, encourage international peace and amity, assist emigration, and augment the commerce of the world. By refusing to bestow tho boon of cheap foreign postage, she will neglect her high mission, and incur an unenviable responsibility. No one who has ever seen a foreign mail arrive at or leave this coun try could fail to have been struck with the ludi croto disproportion existing hetween its hulk, the magnitude of the steamers appointed to carry it, and the enormous sums paid to the packet companies for its conveyance ; and yet this mail contains literally the seaborne correspondence of one portion of the world with the other. Great Britain, by acting generously, and reducing her high packet rates of postage, may claim the homage and the gratitude of all nations; but by keeping up her im politic charges and contracting international correspond ence within narrow limits bhe will deservedly incur their censure. over proof aro from 33 41 to 43, fine 23 101 to 3s 33, good mid to good 30 to 34 over 21 41 to 23 83, mid 2s to 2a 3d, and low 21 to 23 over is 101 to la 11d.

Soon after the receipt of the' last of these letters the clergymen git a letter signed "J. Alves, 6, St. Mary-street, Walcot-square, Lam beth," advising him that his promissory note had been offered to him (Alves) to discount, and desiring to know if such note would,be duly honoured on its becoming due. On the receipt of this the clergytn in began to suspect that all was not right, and accordingly consulted his solicitor on the subject, and the result was thee, the particulars, with the csrrespondence, were forwarded to Messrs. Trinder and Eyre, the Lendou agents of the country solicit or , w i t h ' a request that the neJessary in quiries should b e ma d e i nto it. On Saturday last Le (applicant)(applicant) called a t N o. 44, Carey-street, the address given in the advertisement, and foiled that the office was styled on the window blind,'" A General Business Agency-office;" that Holford's name was not up; but there was the name of " G rey and Co., general agents. " Upon inquiry in the office of Mr. Holford, a youth there said ho was unfortunate, for that Mr. Holfore had but just gone out ; but h e wou l d go and fetch him back. Ia a few m i nutes the youth re. turned, and said Mr. Holford was earning in, and on this person making his appearance, he (applicant) addressed him as Mr. Holford; but ha said his name was not Holford, and that that person merely called there for his letters. Applicant then observed he was sorry he could not see Holford, as he understood he was in the habit of discounting bills on good personal security—that he had, in fact, seen his advertisement in the newspapers, and was desirous of seeing him on the subject. The person he addressed here replied that it was all right, and that if he put the particulars in writing he would take care of it. Ho also said that Mr. Holford was not in the habit of seeing anybody personally, and required negotiations in writing. Applicant here re marked that it was rather strange that the youth in the office, and who was evidently his son, should have repre sented him as Mr. Holford, and again asked him if that was not his name. The person thereupon repeated that it was all right, that he was walking along the street with Mr. Holford, when his son came after them, and brought him back. Applicant then disclosed the real object of his visit, and handed to the person of whom he spoke a written notice demanding the promissory note of his client, and offered him at the same time the pay ment of any expenses he might have been put to. Tnje person then replied that he knew nothing more of Mr. Holford than his calling there to receive his letters, and he did not even know where he resided. He (applicant) had made several attempts to see Alves, but without sumps?, and he had no doubt whatever that both he and Holford were two of a gang of notorious swindlers and bill stealers, and were connected with an attorney who had been tried but a short time since for bill stealing. Under the circumstances, he (Mr. Townshend) hoped his Worship would grant a summons against Holford and Alves for conspiracy, or for obtaining a valuable security for money upon false pretences. Mr. &more., having carefully looked through the correspondunce that had passed between the parties, stated it as his impression that there was not sufficient on the face of it to connect Alves and Holford, and ad vised the applicant to continu e hi s i nqu i r i es, an d then come again. Mr. Townshend proinised to do so, and, having thanked his Worship for the attention with which he had heard him, left the court. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Briggs, issued a general memorandum last evening, thanking the officers, the seamen, and the marines of the fleet that landed and assisted to extin guish the awful fire in the dockyard yesterday morning. Nothing further occurred after we sent off our dispatch. The ladders were left against the Tarring-house, and 16 fire engines were left i n c l ose v i cinity, all rigged' and full of water, ready to play iu case of any outbreak. The debris of the fire is being removed to-day. We stated that the probable damage would be about 7001. It may be nearly double that sum, the interior of the compartment of the building that took fire is totally de stroyed and the walls injured. The building, which stands in a confined locality, will be converted into some less dangerous use than tarring yarn; and a building placed in some open space will be appropriated for that purpose. Admiral_Sir Thomas Briggs and Captain Chads pro ceeded to Spithead this morning in the Sprightly steamer, and inspected the Philemel brig, in gunnery and other exercises; the Philomel will go to Plymouth to pay off. Commodore W. F. Martin's broad pendant was per manently struck at sunset last night ou board the Prince Regent, 90, at Spithead, which ended the unsnal specta cle of a broad pendant being kept flying at a home sta tion in time of peace in the presence of two Admirals' flags. The Channel squadron will not again be com manded in this peculiar manner, but a Rear-Admiral (A. le Corry) will take the command of the next.squad ron—an alteration which, while it adds dignity to the service, cannot fail to be more agreeable to the gallant officers employed in it. Commodore Martin's appoint ment (one of the Baring hoard's acts) has been a grievous eyesore to the flag officers of the navy ever since it was so injudiciously made. Rear-Admiral Corry's ap pointment is made at the instance of the Premier, we are informed, but whether that be so or not he is a most experienced and popular officer; he commanded the ex perimental brig squadron in 1844. Captain Hutton is reported as likely to bo flag-captain, end the Queen or Prince Regent the flag-ship. The Fairy, Royal yacht, Master Commander Welsh, and the Eifin dispatch tender, Master Commander 13a1- liaton, were taken out of harbour this morning by Cap tain Crispin, to test their enginee, &c., atter repair ; These two beautiful little vesse l s a p pear i n b e tt e r order and more neat and ele gan t th an ever—they certainly do their officers much credit. They will be ready to remove the Court from the Clarence-yard to Osborne on Satur day next. The Lightning steam-yacht and the Adder arrived at Portsmouth, bringing from Deptford the Q een i ' t a . officers from and men that navigated the Hercules Malta. The Queen, 120, hung her rudder to-day; her copper has been put in order, and she will be taken out of dock on Friday, and soon after go to Davonport to be paid down. The Lightning and Adler retuned to the eastward this evening. DEvoNPORT. MAY 17.—Miss Burdett Coutts has been on a visit to this neighbourhood, and called at the finck yard, and in company with Mrs. Edyo t,he visited the Female Orphan School, founded for the orphans of docksmen, and which she has liberally supported. She minutely inspected the establishment, and expres,, , cd herself highly pleased with all the arrangements, and the whole management of the asylum. She i 3 still here, or rather at the hotel, Plymouth. She visited the school on Thursday, Friday, and again to-day. Yester day she attended the Dockyard Chapel. She appears highly pleased with all she has seen here. Desperate steamer, in charge of Lieutenant Stevens, returned to this port last evening, and came into har bour and took up her moorings. Sprightly sailed this afternoon for Portsmouth. Sansparcil has bent sails to-day, and will be ready to go out to-morrow afternoon or Wednesday morning. Ferret, 8, is ordered to he commissioned at Devon port by Commander Phelps (1849), it is supposed for the Coast of Africa.

When the new oc_an mail contracts into which the Government has recently entered come into opera tion, the whole cost to the nation for conveying its sea-borne correspondence will amount to nearly a million sterling per annum. The ocean mail packet lines served by this country will then be about 60,000 miles in length; and the number of miles which the British mail packets will traverse annually will be nearly 2,500,000 miles. The number of letters which these packets will carry in the course of a year, at the present postal packet rates, will be about thirty millions. The relative importance of different parts of the world with this country may be estimated by the frequency of the mail packet communication with them. Thus, the communication with France will be twice daily ; with Belgium, once daily ; with Holland and Hamburgb, twice weekly ; with America, weekly ; with the East Indies and the Peninsula, three times monthly ; with the Cape of Good Hope, five times every two months ; with the West Indies, China, the west coast of Africa, Central America, Chili, Peru, and the Spanish Main, twice monthly ; and with Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres, monthly. The principal steam-packet companies who have con tracts with the Government are: the Pacific, the British and American, the West India, and the Peninsular and Oriental Companies. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has hitherto confined its operations to the south-western coast of America, between Panama and Valparaiso. It will most probably extend its enterprise to California, and mate rially assist in the navigation of the pacific Ocean, and in establishing a western communication wlth Australia. The British and American Seam Packet Company i s distinguished for the success with which it has navi gated the North Atlantic Ocean. • It has been in ad vance of all the other steam-packet companies, as far as the perfection of its vessels is concerned; and in taking immediate advantage of every discovery in the improve ment of steamers. Its ship-building career has been ono continued triumph, each_ of its packets having sur passed its predecessor in magnitude and speed. The operations of this company have consisted &most ex clusively in running packets between England and the United States, and British North America. W hen California was discovered, it was expected that the . Britiale and American Company would have extended vs enterprise southward from Nev York, in order to share the immense traffic that would arise on that route. It has not, however, seen fit to du so, and has allowed the American people to monopolise the whole of the sea traffic between New York and San Francisco. Tae Royal West India Mail Packet Company differs from all other companies in having commenced its exis tence as a great company, d d in undertaking . at the outset of its career a vast t an packet scheme. It has t b s een an mor m e a u g n n f l o fi r c tu aa n t at o e ce t e h a an nl a a l i l l the other companies put : I ' this some company, great Slates, discovery . in i e a ndi t it eg fi ether, having lost, in the somaeet of steamers, the space of 10 years, de struction of which has causedthe most terrible 0 history first m a o i l f and heartrending calamities recorded in ocean navigatiar. It is singular that fr in em th th e there would packet scheme, projected by seem to have been anticipated the Pacific in connexion with the ISuited comprehended a communication between the elute Gulf and Nsw York. It is curious to observe, also, the changes which this company s mail route scheme has undergone. In the first instance, of so little importance were the North and South American ports in the Pacific considered, that Chagres was never visited until the northern Antilles had been served, and then only by a branch steamer, once a month, from Jamaica. As for Grey Town, it was not even mentioned in their scheme. Now, however, there is a direct com munication between England, and Chagres, and Grey Town, 0803 every fourteen days. The great policy of the Royal Mail Company, at prelneat, is to prevent the riches and traffic, originating on the eastern shores of the Pacific, from passing to this country by way of Nave York; and to draw it to England, by a direct north-easterly course, from tho la.hmns of Panama. To accomplish this gigantic steamers are running between St. Thomas and their home station; the num ber of inter-colonial packets of the company is to be augmented, and its trade with Mex;cO to ba partially sacrificed. _ Tao Peninsular and Oriental Company was the most inetl:dfeiteas facilitiesfoorftrade and insignificant of all the packet companies, and has become the greatest of any. It first posses ed, as a ford n Packet company, taco or three steamers only, whi g ola emplaned in coasting in the Bay of Biscay. and it note possesses a fleet of which a nation might ' 2 proud. its fleet will consist of ac r e . a. ra aao t _ () steam:ors, which will cover a sea and n a i t a i ;' a- isi l i s n co o l3 ; l l 4 : , 3 s:, ni a y. oo few mil m os ollt i h n s length. The operations be interfer have been spreading eastward with with Australis, i' reeat i- vv, l i ity. The company has now secured the Prinaiaal t t o h f the eastern world, which will scarcely and most , even when a western communication ocean to crose poptilo s n established.

It is the peculiar privilege of England to be the ocean mail carriers for almost the whole world. Her mail packet system extends, in Europe and Africa, from GATHERING OF THE VINE. --- The ancient types and figures descriptive of the vintage are still literally true. The march of agri cultural improvement seems never to have set foot amid the vines. As it was with the patriarchs in the East, so it is with the modern children of men. The goaded ox still bears home the high pressed grape too, and the feet of the treader are still red in the purple juice which maketh glad the heart of man. The scene is at once fall of beauty, and of tender and even sacred associations. The songs of the vintagers, frequently ehorussed from one part of the field to the other, ring blithely into the bright summer air, pealing out above the rough jokes and hearty peals of laughter shouted hither and thither. All the green jungle is alive with the moving figures of men and women, stooping among the vines, or bearing pairs and basketfuls of grapes out to the grass grown cross roads, along which the labouring oxen drag the rough vintage carts, groaning and cracking as they stagger along beneath their weight of purple tubs heaped high with the tumbling masses of luscious fruit. The congregation of every age and both sexes, and the careless variety of costume, add additional features of picturesqueness to the scene. The white haired old man labours with shakieg hands to fill the basket which his black eyed imp of a grandchild carries rejoic ingly away. Qaaint broad-brimmed straw and felt hats —handkerchiefs twisted like turi!)ans over straggling elf lucks—swarthy skins tanned to an olive brown—black flashing. eyes—and hands and feet stained in the abound ing juices of the precious fruit—all these southern pecu liarities of costume and appearance supply the vintage with its peasant characteristic 3. The clatter of tongues is incessent. A fire of jokes and jeers, of saucy questions and more saucy retorts—of whale in fact, iu the humble and unpoetic but expressive ver nacular, is called chaff"—is kept up with a vigour which seldom flegF, except now and then, when the butt•end of a song, or the twanging close of a chorus strikes the general fancy, and procures for the morceau a lusty encore.—Reache's Claret and Olives, THE AUSTRIAN ARMY. It is a rule in the Austrian army, that if any officer, whether can duty or not, is struck by a man, armed or unarmed, it is his duty to hill him on the spot. If he fails to do so, he is disgraced, and foiced to quit the service. No duel, no apology, no explanation, after wards can wipe out the affront. lie must draw his sword and blay the offender at the moment. In a number of oases this has been done. When half a duz3n offi3ers were present, all have aided in the slaughter of one, perhaps . inadvertent, °Euler; grad no puniAment has ever followed such murders, for they can tkl called by no other name. Oa the other hand, there have been instances in which the officers offended, from humanity or inexperionca have delayed their vengeance to the next day, and have then called out and fought the offender. They were bound to gait the army ! None of their brother officers would serve with them. It is not a law of the country, but a rule of tie service, which is acted on in these cases.

These rates are much under last season; but stock is 4,500 bags larger. An impression exists that prices for Cocoa have not yet arrived at their highest point, there being every pr.:3pect of a greater consumption. TEA. —There is a good demand for inferior and me dium Congou, but no advance has been produced, there ita however, a firm market; previous terms aro well sustained for better kinds, and operations are to a fair extent; prices for low to good ordinary rule at Bil to 91, rather blackish to blackish loaf *I to lOid, strong and Pekoe kinds lid to la sd.

In common and mid scented Orange Pekoe sales are still trifling, and there are willing sellers at 10d to le, but of good to fine many parcels have been sold at Is Id to is 84 per lb. Opinion is favourable as to future operations in the Tea market. RICE —The best white Bengal and Java met with a good demand, and realised previous rates, supply being limited.

James Stockbridge and John Darvell, stout young men, dressed as agricultural labo urers, were p laced at the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged with having at tempted to murder James Cole, a labouring man, residing in Hem raing's-buildings, Chapel-street, Clerkenwell. The prosecutor, who appeared in the witness-box with his throat cut and plastered, having been sworn, said that on Monday night last he had been drinking with the prisoners at a public-house in the neighbourhood of Islington, when he left them to return home. At about one o'clock in the morning, while he was with his sister and some other persons, the prisoners came to the house and wished to be let in; but, not wishing to admit them at such an unseasonable hour, he told his sister to in form them that he was not at home. They would not believe it, and endeavoured to force their way in, but she resisted them, on which they pulled out their knives and threatened to murder her, and her cries for Help" and of 't Murder" induced him to go out for her protection, when he saw both prisoners armed with knives. Oa making his appearance they swore they would murder him, whea S.ockbridge made a stab at him, and a struggle ensued, in which both of them fell d o wn, he (witness) being undermost; and whil e on th e ground the prisoner Stockbridge cut his throat, ii.fiicting a deep wound with his knife. On getting up he was at tempt ing to escape, when the prisoner Darvell attacked h i m and stabbed him twice in the arm and back with his knife. They threatened that they would murder everybody in the house, which there was no doubt they wou ld have done had it not been for the timel y arr i val a a , : a h heo was taken to w o f the police. The wit n ess added, th a surgeon, who dressed his wounds,as now in a very weakly condition through the l oss of blood. Mr. TIMITFEITT Lqu eau ired as to th e of all this extrao rdinary violence, and wheth er the p s z e isoners were Answer —They were d run k at the time of the outrage? Awer not drunk, and no cause could be assigned for their con duet, except their having been refused admission into the house. Esther Cole, sister of the prosecutor, corroborated his evidence. She was going on an errand, pri soners came and asked her after fo h l e i rbroth w e h r. en She the said he was not at home. They andoweclto her with their knives, threatening to murder her, rushed after her into the house. Her brothi er, they her protection, when he was stabbed and thrown ' : down. eame She distinctly saw Stockbridge cut her brother's throat with a knife; she also saw him stab a woman who came to their as sistance, who was seriously injured, and unable to at tend. She also saw Darvell stab her brother in the hand and back. Henry Beck, of Ilemming's-buiidings, was alarmed by the cries of "Police" and " Murder." He went out, and saw the prisoners brandishing their knives; they pushed witness, and would no doubt have murdered him, had he not made his escape into a neighbour's house. The police arrived, and took the prisoners into custody, when they were locked up. Numerous policemen were in attendance to confirm the above evide,'.oe. Mr. TYRWHITT asked the prisoners what they had to say to such a daring and lawless outrage. It was a wholesale attempt at slaughter. Stockbridge said, they were all together at a public-house, where they rema'ned until two o'clock in the morning, when the prosecutor left them, c,nd did not return again. He (Stockbridge) and Darvell went after him, and in passing by the house is Hemming's-buildings they heard some persons in the hoase. They 'knocked at the door, but they would not let them in. They inquired for the prosecutor, when the sister told them that he will not at home. An officer said that the knife belonging to Stockbridge was found near the house in Hemming 's-buildings. Stockbridge denied having a knife. Darnll, with equal indifference, made a similar defence. Mr. TYRIfIIITT said he would remand both prisoners for a week. Other persons had been seriously injured by them, and it w,s necessary to ascertai❑ th© extent of the injuries and the fate that swzized th em . Instructions were given for their attendance, and also that of the surgeon. The prisoners were then conveyed to prison. LAMBETH. Mr. Townsbend . , managing cl e rk t o M essrs.
