A question, asked by Mr. BERNAL last night on the bringing up of the report of certain resolutions agreed to in a Committee of Supply, respecting the important subject " the means of manning our fleet," elicited from Captain BERKELEY the pleasing intelli gence that " he had long given his serious atten tion to the subject of providing a reserve force of seamen in cases of emergency ; and that he hoped before the next session, though there might be some difficulties in the way, to submit a plan to the Government which would place at their disposal a body of thorough seamen who, within 48 hours, would be available at either Portsmouth or Plymouth in sufficient numbers to man a fleet." Should Captain BERKELEY succeed to this extent, and attain the object by just and eqzvtable means, the country will indeed have cause to rejoice at his ap pointment as one of the Naval Lords of the Admiralty. We have so often exposed the enormities of the vile system of impre ssment, the gross injusti ce -thereby inflicted on a large body of our fellow-sub jects, that it is unnecessary, at the present moment, to recur to it. The public are now fully alive thereto, and they demand, at the hands of those to whom the control and superinten dence of the navy is entrusted, that justice shun at length be extended to our gallant sailors that they shall no longer be torn from their homes and friends—forced into an unwilling servitude, at tte of remuneration far below that which they can o btadn elsewhere, and subjected to punishments of the. utmost stringency and severity, of the most re volt ing and degrading character, at the mere whim and caprice of an individual ; that they should be deprived of the protection which is afforded to all other classes of Englishmen, and so punished, not only without proof of guilt, but even without being heird in their own defence, or permitted even to explain their conduct. It is an extraordinary, but undoubted, fact, that while the number of our mer chant seamen falls little, if at all, short of 400,000 men,- many of whom must frequently be in want of employment, that if even 4,000 men, the one-hundredth part of the number, should be required for the service of their country, on any sudden emer gency, they cannot be obtained in less than six or twelve months, so as to have the vessels, for which crews are required in efficient working order, fit to support the honour of the British flag, if it should be entrusted to their care. Why should this be so ? In every other department of the public service the candidates for employment far exceed the number of vacancies, and much anxiety is evinced to obtain such employment ; in the navy alone there is such a deep-rooted dislike thereto, that volunteers cannot be obtained in a case or cases of emergency ; and, notwithstanding the proverbial su periority of volunteers to pressed men, it is from the latter class that the royal navy is expected to be supplied under any extraordi nary or pressing circumstances. The causes however, are numerous, and until they are thoroughly and entirely removed, it is useless to hope for any great or important change in the feelings of seafaring men. The very power of impressment itself being suffered to exist, has been one of the principal causes for this want of popularity, and for its own alleged necessity. Were it not for this unconstitutional and un- - English practice, persons in authority would be obliged to take measures for the removal of the grievances that so unduly and unfairly affect our naval brethren. They have relied on the system by which they can compel the services of competent men in the time of need, and have not sought to obtain by persuasion that which they can command by brute force. Many are to be found who will raise the cry of necessity, and say that the safety of the empire demands its continuance, but no plea can justify that which is essentially con trary to the first principles of moral right. First, amongst the necessary steps for redressing the evil, the pay of our seamen must be increased ; it must be made at least equivalent to that which the individual could obtain if permitted to carry his labour to the best market. It is well known that the pay of an able seaman in the merchant service amounts, on an average, to 2/. ss. per month, while in the royal navy 1/. 14s. is only given to the same man. This is manifestly unjust. Why should the nation expect to obtain labour at less than three-fourths of the ordinary rate ? Our naval estimates amount to no less a sum than 7,400,0001. sterling per annum. The article wages does not exceed one-eighth of that large amount, and a judicious curtailment and diminu tion of a part of the unnecessary expenditure would provide a fund amply sufficient to enable us to do justice to the hard-working and inadequately-paid sailor. But, were it otherwise, we do not believe that the most zealous advocate for economy in the House of Commons, or in the nation at large, would object to a proper remuneration being paid for the services rendered by the sailor. Tlie expense would be trivial in comparison to the benefit conferred, the injustice avoided by the nation, Again, the sailor should not be cast adrift the mo ment his services can be dispensed with. A ship re turns from a distant station, and the crew perfected in discipline, efficiently trained, and fitted for any duty, are dispersed throughout the country ; their connexion with the service is severed; they are suffered to fall victims to the arts of designing persons who congregate together to prey upon the simplicity of the weather-beaten tar, to rob him of his hardly-earned pay. The men thus turned adrift may beg or starve; they may at the time be unable to obtain employment of the description for which alone they are fitted, or if they can procure it they are removed from this country, and their services, valuable in the highest degree, cannot be obtained when required. This ridiculous, this absurd system must be put an end to. The lash must be abolished in the navy ; other means for procuring submission must be resorted to, and that stigma and disgrace must be removed from the British sailor. By these and other similar means the popularity of the service can be restored, and when that is once effected there will be no want of men ready and willing to come forward at a mo ment's notice. We shall look with much anxiety for the promised plan of the Gallant Officer, but to be effectual it must strike at the root of the evil. A variety of circumstances tend at this moment to attract the particular attention both of the population and of the Government to Ireland. The calamitous disease which has again infected the potatoes, and which consequently threatens to bring increased star vation and destitution on the peasantry, elicits the sympathies of our Legislators, and promises to delay the period of the prorogation of Par liament. Although they may to a disagree able extent interfere with divers engagements upon the moors, the precocious indications which have been given of the re-appearance of this vegetable malady must so far be regarded with satisfaction, as they afford our rulers an opportunity of preparing political antidotes for an evil which can only become more perilous as the winter season approaches, and the scanty harvest is consumed. It will be remem bered how much excitement and trepidation, how many dilemmas and hesitations, how little alacrity and decision were evolved immediately intel ligence reached the late Administration of the pesti lence and famine by which the poorer classes of Irishmen were threatened towards the conclusion of 1845. Parliament had been dissolved—the Cabinet Ministers were hurriedly assembled together—doubts and anxieties disorganised the council—resignations followed, and the whole Legislature of the empire was thrown into the most grievous temporary confusion before any adequate steps could be taken to ameliorate the condition of our afflicted countrymen. It will be remembered how alarmingly the woes of the peasantry had accumulated before the differences of opinion among statesmen could be settled. Fevers and cholics had spread throughout many baronies ; vast multitudes had assembled under the black banners of famine; despair had taken possession of the unemployed, and the darker passions had begun to develope them selves in midnight murders and twilight assassina tions, before relief could be tendered by the Executive, either in the shape of manual occupations or cheap provisions. During many weeks the ravages of disease and inanition were altogether unchecked, and the assistance which Sir ROBERT PEEL and his new colleagues were at length enabled to remit was, contrary to their wishes, both tardy and crippled. Now, however, the prospects of the Irish labourers are infinitely more propitious, not withstanding their accustomed nourishment is prema turely and more extensively destroyed. The present Ministry is composed of statesmen bound together by a common determination to assuage the sufferings of Ireland, and to consult the interests of her inhabitants by every constitutional effort within their power. However much, there fore, our interest is aroused as to the circumstances of the approaching season, it is neither darkened by doubt nor sombred by anxiety. -, Satisfied that the nourishment and employment of the Irish labouring classes will be properly attended to by the Russell Administration, and especially satisfied with that lenient policy which removed from a generous and afflicted people the ignominy of an Arms Bill, we can turn with peculiar curiosity to that great association in which the opinions of the population are there embodied. During the latest meeting of the repealers at Conciliation Flail, namely on Monday morning, it would appear that a letter, addressed by Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, O'BRIEN to the secretary, was duly perused to the assemblage. And from the purport of that epistle, and from the subsequent observations of Mr. O'CoN IELL, we glean the astounding and prodigious fact , that he, Mr. WILLIAM SMITII O'BRIEN, had not the slightest inclination to return to the Repeal Asso elation. There is something wonderfully amus ing in the feelings of self-importance which have evidently dictated that very remarkable document. Speaking of a trumpery squabble ori ginating in himself and a few hair-brained mongers of patriotism, Mr. O'BRIEN facetiously terms it " a scene not less distressing to those who witnessed it than injurious to the cause of Ireland and disparaging to the character ef' Irishmen." Mr. O'BRIEN need not entertain such melan choly sentiments one moment longer if he will only recognise what is so manifest to every body else, namely, that the fact of his walking out of the Corn-Exchange in a bit of a huff cannot possibly damage the interests of his country ; that his beha viour previous to that movement was rather amusing than distressing, and that the eccentric conduct of a little posse of individuals cannot in the slightest de gree tend to the disparagement of the character of an entire nation. The corollary to the above paragraph is no less grandiloquent ; it explains how Mr. WIL LIAM SMITH O'BRIEN "is compelled to record his dissent;" how Mr. Wirmasi SMITH O'BRIEN "feels that entire silence on his part might be construed into acquiescence ;" how Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN "disclaims connexion with the Nation news paper ;" and how Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN thinks and does a great number of other things—just as if the reveries and proceedings of the said Mr. Wm. SMITH O'BRIEN were of the most in tense and consummate importance to the whole civilised world ! The Liberator observed, during the course of his harangue, that he would sacrifice everything but principle and the safety of the association, to induce Mr. O'BRIEN to return—" that he would, in fact, make a bridge of gold to get him back !" We regard those expressions as the most emphatic and conclusive tes timony of the magnanimity and benevolence of the nature of Mr. O'CONNELL. He is pained at seeing a former colleague cutting so sorry a figure, and, in his charity, he endeavours to redeem the unfortunate delinquent from contempt, by resorting to hyperboles. There is more mercy than justice in the regrets ut tered by the Liberator. Let us examine the circumstances of this move ment in the Repeal Association ; and when we have glanced at the few and simple facts of the case, com mon sense will compel us to acknowledge that the Arms Bill was not a greater anomaly in a liberal and enlightened Parliament, than a party advocating physical force was an anomaly in- Conciliation Hall !—that the withdrawal of the former was not likely to entail more credit upon the national legisla tors than the expulsion of the latter was likely to re dound to the credit of the Repeal Association. The fact is—Mr. O'CONNELL establishes a society to agitate for the abrogation of a certain Act of Par liament, with an expressed proviso that that object should be struggled for • only by " peaceful, legal, and constitutional means." A few inexperienced interlopers, after the association has long continued under the guidance of its veteran founder, declare in favoui of physical force, and malign that venerable patriot for not coinciding in their opinion, when, without the assistance of Mr. O'CoNNELL, they would have bad no organised body of repealers to regale with those sentiments. And what, let us inquire, is the nature of this physical force movement ? Why, according to the assertion of the Liberator (no small authority, by the way, in legal matters), it involves a principle by the adoption of which the association would be guilty qf high treason! O the sagacity of that patriotism of the Young Irelanders, which has developed it self in the Nation, according to their recusant leader, "by the extraordinary vigour of its style, by the dazzling splendour of its prose, and by the glowing beauty of its verse ! " Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN had formerly a kind of negative public existence—he has now, however, committed nothing less than political suicide. Madrid papers of the 12th have been received. It was rumoured in Madrid that MARIA CHRISTINA has expressed herself in favour of a Coburg Prince as the future husband of the QUEEN. The Court martial on the members of the Insurrectional Junta of Galicia, which has been sitting at Lugo, has pro nounced sentence of death upun some of the prisoners, and condemned others to the galleys. All the Madrid papers of every shade of opinion, urge the ne cessity of showing clemency to these unfortunate persons. MADRID BOLSA, AUGUST 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 22i ; the Four per Cents. at 21i ; the Passive, 6i; and the Coupons, 20. MITE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1144 a. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The KING opened the Chambers at one o'clock on that day. His MAJESTY, attended by a brilliant cortege, proceeded in procession from the Tuileries to the Valais Bourbon, and was received by the people throughout the line with the most enthusiastic expression of loyalty and respect. His re ception in the Chamber was quite as cor dial ; and when the QUEEN appeared, leading in her hand the Comte DE PARIS, shouts of " Vive la Beine," "Vive le Comte de Paris," burst from all parts of the Chamber. We published a copy of the speech in our impression of yesterday. The passage in which he speaks of the sentiments of the Chamber towards himself and his family, and his Majesty's declaration that there was no trial, which he was not willing to undergo to forward the prosperity and grandeur of his country, were received with loud cheers. The commission of the Court of Peen charged with investigating the facts relative to the late attempt on the KING'S life met on Sunday, at the Chancellor's, to hear the report prepared by M. LAPLANGE BARRIS.. The death of Marshal VALES is announced in the Moniteur. The Marshal was in the 73d year of his age. Accounts from Algiers to the 10th instant have ar rived. We extract the following from the illoniteur Al gerien :—" We learn from Mascara that the Saharian tribes continue to move towards the Tell. Each takes up the position most suitable to its habits and mode of encampment. The hostages who were detained by ABD-EL•KADER have made their escape, but it is believed that the Emir connived at this, in order to relieve himself from the embarrassment they would occasion him in case of a collision with the Hamy anes, or perhaps from the difficulty of finding pro visions for them at the Deira. Since ABD-EL-KADER has left the south of the division of Mascara, a re action favourable to our cause, dictated by the want of repose, and the essential means of existence, has been almost suddenly produced. There are no longer in the south any more than a few isolated fractions following the fortunes of the influential chiefs, who are able to dispense for the moment with the Tell, on account of their private re sources, which enable them to procure at a second or third hand the corn drawn from our Tell. The maintenance of tranquillity will admit of our compelling the dissentient fractions to approximate themselves to us from our being able to separate them from the submitted tribes. The last arrivals from Constantina bring us no news of importance. This province continues to be in a perfectly calm state. At every point the contributions are got in without any resistance ; the Kabyles of the circle of Dellys con tinue in their pacific disposition. The harvest season keeps them in the mountains, and prevents them from exercising their usual exactions. The influence which BEN SALEM and BEL KASSI M had gained over them has been considerably diminished, and the misfortunes brought upon their country by these two chiefs, who have so many times deceived them, have deterred them from undertaking any hostile measures." The French squadron, commanded by Prince DE JOIN VILLE, arrived at Syracuse on the 6th, at Mesiina on the 10th, and was expected at Naples on the 15th.

C RIOUS DISCOVERY.—On the 30th ult., while work men were engaged raising the black-band ironstone, at the open cast on liell'a-holm, for the Lugar Iron Company, and after breaking up a large block about 4 or 5 feet square, they discovered near the centre of it a toad. It was small in size, not much larger than a " skep-bee," and very black. As soon as it got quit of its ironstone prison it commenced hopping off until it got into a pool of water, and then it showed the same dexterity in swimming as those that are nut accustomed to so long an imprisonment. The ironstone where it was discovered is from 3 to 4 feet thick, and 30 feet below the surface.-- Caledonian Mercury. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was mode rate, and prices were much the same. Sales 6,000 bales. Shares were rather quieter, but the quotations did net vary much. The great importance of extended facilities for communi cation is evidenced daily by the extraordinary growth - of cities and their increased trade. The American tams are special examples of this, and with railways and steam navi gation in England we can show a parallel. It is mentioned in advices from the United States, that— " The Western Railroad, connecting Boston with the New York improvements, and thereby with the great west, was opened in 1841. The increase of that city since, in wealth and population exhibits some astonishing results. In 1841, the valuation of property in Boston, real and personal, was, in the aggregate 98,106,606 dollars. The year following it amounted to 106,633,300 dollars ; and in 1844, the gross valuation reached the aggregate of 111,450,300 dollars. " Here, in a period of three years, an increase is shown of more than 20,000,000 dollars ; and, what makes it the more remarkable, it is an advance of 21 per cent., or one-fifth on the original valuation. "Within three years after the opening of the Erie canal, the city of New York increased about thirteen millions of dollars, which was an advance of 12 1 , s per cent. on the valuation of the real and personal property of the city. "In connexion with these statistics, the Albany Argus refers to Edmund Burke's account of the European settle ments in America, written in 1757, eighty-eight years ago. There are in all the provinces of New England,' says Mr. Burke, • large towns which derive considerable trade. Boston, the capital of Massachusetts Bay, is the first city of New- England, and of all North America; it contains at least 20,000 inhabitants.' " Since that sentence was written, although Boston has increased in population more than four-fold, she is no longer the chief city in America. With a population of 375,000, not to include Brookly, with its 40,000, the City of New York has become the cammercial emporium of the Western Continent. Eighty-eight years ago, New York had not 20,000 inhabitants. In a few , years she will, with her ad juncts, number half a million.' Intelligence of June 16 has been received from the Cape of Good Hope. The Kaffirs had at last received a signal proof of their inferiority in close combat, Colonel Somerset and his force having defeated them with great loss, as is supposed; though the advices by this opportunity are not by a direct arrival from the Cape, but by a vessel which brings the news from St. Helena.

(Before Mr. Secondary Parma.) D.AILWAY T. SARVIELD. The plaintiff in this action is a printer, and the, defendant, is one of the magistrates for Middlesex, and a provi sional committeeman of the Great Metropolitan Junction Railway Company. The action was brought to recover the amount of a bill for printing. Mr. PETERSON who appeared for the plaintiff, stated the case, by which it appeared that in December last a meeting of the shareholders was called, when some dissatisfaction was expressed as to the state of the affairs of the company, when it was ultimately agreed t hat a committee of five shareholders should be appointed to investigate the affairs, and report to the general body of shareholders thereon, and also as to the pro priety of an amalgamation with the Northern and Southern Metropolitan Junction Railway, and it was for printing the circulars convening the meeting and tie report that the pre sent action was brought. Mr. James Gilbertson, one of the aldermen of Hertford, and a shareholder of the company, was called to prove what passed at the meeting which had been adjourned to the sth. Mr. CHARNOCK, for the defendant, objected to any evidence being given as to what had passed at the meeting, if the re • suit had been entered in the minutes. Mr. PETERSON said the books were not in the plaintiff's possession, and; therefore, he could not produce them, but a notice had been served upon Mr. Barber, the defendant's solicitor, to produce them. Mr. CIIARNOCK said it must be first shown that the de fendint had any control over them before he could be called upon to produce them. Mr. P;iyne, the attorney for the plaintiff; was then called, to prove the service on Mr. Barber. In cross examination by Mr. CHARNOCK, he admitted that he was a shareholder in the company, and one of the five appointed as committeemen. He did not admit his liability on that aceount. The chairman was a Mr. Jones. He did not know exactly what he was; he was described on tl►e register as an historian.—(Laugh ter.) The circular calling the meeting announced that it was to be held independently of the directors, and that no director or provisional committee man would be allowed to propose or vote on any resolution. Mr. PETERSON proposed to put in the official copy of the registration of the resolution which had been come to at the meeting. Mr. CHARNOCK objected that the register, or a copy, was not sufficient, if the original taken at the meeting by the secretary was in existence. Mr. PETERSON said that the secretary could not be found. The SECONDARY said that he could not admit secondary evidence if the original was in existence, nor could he call on the defendant to produce it. The inference was that the books were in the possession of the secretary ; some one must have them, and the case could not be gone on with without them. Mr. PETERSON said it would be very hard on the plaintiff, and probably others, to call on him to produce books. It was ultimately agreed th a t a juror should be withdrawn. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. Some disappointment was caused this morning at the Cen tral Criminal Court in consequence of the unexpected absence of the judges. Several important cases had been postponed in expectation of their taking their seats on the bench at the usual hour, and among the rest the case of scrip forgery, John Fabian and John Bannister Faulkner, which has al ready been remanded for two successive sessions. The witnesses in this last ea! e were all in court, the counsel retained for the prosecution and the defence, and Faulktief; but Faulkner only, had surrendered to take his trial, Fabian's absence being unaccounted for either by the counselor the solicitors for the defence • all waited in considerable suspense till eleven o'clock, an flout after the time when the judges usually make their appearance, when the Common-Sergeant, after messengers had been sent in vain to the Judges' Chambers, took his seat on the bench. SCRIP FORGERY.—MT. BALLANTINE on the part of the defendants, applied to have the case Fabian and Faulkner postponed till it could be tried by the judges. He said there was an important point of law involved, one that was new, and which would rule in all similar cases here after, and on that account it was desirable to have the opi nion of the judges on the case. _ The COM3IONSERGEANT said he was entirely in the hands of the bar, and would be happy to accede to whatever might most suit the convenience of those retained on both sides. He thought it would be better to postpone the case till to morrow. Mr. CLARKSON (retained for the prosecution) said he agreed with the application which had been made on the other side to have the case postponed, but it would be most inconvenient to proceed with it to•morrow, as one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution then in Court was under the necessity of appearing in a case at the assizes in Liverpool to-morrow. He found, besides that only one of the defendants had sur rendered, and thought that it would be better to postpone it to the next sessions, Mr. BALLANTINE said he had beard nothing whatever which would account for the absence of Fabian ; and he, on the part of Faulkner, was urgent to have the case tried and disposed of; but he conceded to the application which had been made. The COMMON SERGEANT ordered that the case should be postponed till the first day of the judges' sitting next session, that the time of the bail should be enlarged, and that the several parties should enter anew into their recog nizances. We understand that the judges next on the rota are Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Wightman ; and it is supposed, though no intimation had been received from them, that Mr. Justice Coleridge is un well, and that the other two judges are on the circuit. On the application of Mr. Clerk, the case of Gibbons, in dicted for the murder of Jane Sluman, was put off till to morrow, in anticipation that some of the judges would then be present. Eliza Med/and was placed at the bar indicted for feloniously causing to be inserted in the register of dealis of St. Luke, a false entry of the death of John Palk, said 'to be her husband. Mrs. Jones being - sworn; said she was housekeeper, to the Duke Of Portland, and the prisoner came some time 'in the month of June.to the Duke's residence, and represented that her husband had died on the 29th of May, and applied for money to cover the expenses of the burial. It seems that' the Duke has been in the habit of relieving the woman in charity under the name of Palk, for some time. The witness was amazed to hear that the body had not at that time been buried, a circumstance which excited her suspicion, so that she withheld the three sovereigns which she had it in her power to give until she saw a copy of the registry of the death. The prisoner afterwards brought what purported to be a copy of the registry. John Archer, the registrar. of St. Luke's, said the woman came on the 11th June, and applied to have a registry made of the death of_ her husband. At his request she brought what should have been a certificate from the doctor, being a peke of paper signed " J. Newcombe," and the word " apoplexy" written on it, and a registry was made ac cordingly of the death of John Palk, as having occurred on the 29th of May. Thomas Reid said be lived at 78, Golden-lane, and had done so for seven years. The next house was No. 80, and there was no No. 79 in Golden-lane, the number given by the prisoner as her address. Mrs. Nathan, of No. 39, Ironmongers-row,said the prisoner lodged with her, and had done so for two years. Her hus band's name was Henry Medland, and was seen alive by the witness only yesterday. The'case was conducted by Mr. Clerk, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Doane. The jury found the prisoner On inquiry by the Common Sergeant, it appeared that the woman bad represented herself as in the deepest poverty, and had, in consequence, received several sums from the Duke of Portland ; one of the police officers also stated he had found a begging letter in her possession, and that she bad been known at the Mendicity-office as an impostor for the last ten years. The prisoner was sentenced to one year's impri sonment and hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and Mr. Alderman HUGHES.) ROBBERY IN A PuELtu-HouSE.---Michad Hyde, a la bourer;stood indictedwith 'lnv;ring stolen a bank-note, val ue . 51., one sovereiz,n, and two half-sovereigns, the Koperty of Charles Symons, from his person. It appeared that the prosecutor had received the moneys in question from a loan office, and' subsequently went into the Kentish Drovers public-house, in the Old Kent -road. He was there joined by the prisoner and they had some coffee together. The prosecutor shortly after fell asleep on the bench in the tap-room, and while in that state was ,robbed by the prisoner. On waking, the prosecutor discovered his loss, and the number of the note having been ascertained, it was traced to the possession of a clothier, from whom the prisoner had purchased some clothes. The facts having been proved, the jury returned a verdic of Guilty. Thepi:isoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned for 12 menthe, and kept to bard labour. FELONY.—John Hunt stood indicted with having stolen, on the 16th of July, six pounds of bacon from the shop of Mr. John Dawson, Church. street, Camberwell. George Adams, a lad about twelve years of age, deposed that he was standing a few yards front the house of Mr. Daw son, when he saw the prisoner, who was in company with another man, commit the ofence for whi c h h e s t oo d in dictei'. He then immediately informed Mr. Dawson. Mr. Dawson depose o his having lost the property in question. The prisoner said tha it-was a case of mistaken indentity. The first witness wa then recalled, and having adhered to his statement, Mr. Commissioner BuLLocx summed up. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour. There were several other cases of the same character, to which the prisoners pleaded guilty. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Hall, a well-dressed middle-aged man, was pieced at the bar, having been remanded from yesterday, upon a charge of attempting to commit suicide by cutting The prisoner was seen by a gentleman, named his throat. Johnson, running through the middle of the road in King-street, after a gig in which were two gentlemen. He s t o pped in the middle of the road, and the gig drove o him aside andn. Mr. Johnson, seeing blood on his cravat and hands, led examined his throat. The prisoner said he had hcudt nothis a throat with a razor, and would have killed himself his brother taken the razor from him. Messrs. Henry and Chesterton Hall, attorneys. the pri soner's brothers, attended this morning, and made a l ong complaint to the effect that the prisoner had been a great an noyance to them for the last 20 years ; that he had been en tirely supported by them, and was always import un i ng t h em for money, which they were frequently induced to give him for the sake of his wife and children. They hoped the ma gistrate would do something to protect them from such annoyance. It had been stated that he was a member of their firm. Now this was utterly untrue; they were certainly partners, but the prisoner had had no thing to do with the office for twenty years. Mr. C. Hall said that he and his brother were in the gig and the prisoner was standing beside it importuning them for money, and repeating a threat he had often made, that he would cut his throat. They drove on, and he ran after them as described by Mr. Johnson. He laid - One hand on the back of the gig, and with the other took out the razor and cut his throat. He, Mr. C. Hall, took the razor from the prisoner, who , then let go of the gig, and they then drove on. The prisoner made a long statement, denying what had been said by his brothers relative to their private affairs. He said he had been ruined by his brotaers, who hadpossession of his mother's will, and ref use d to show it, They had allowed him a weekly stipend, but they only did so to keep him quiet, and prevent him from troubling them about the will. He was an attorney like themselves, but they had prevented him from taking out a certificate. It was their misconduct towards him that caused him to attempt to destroy himself. Mdch more of a personal nature, totally uninteresting to the public, was said QU both video, _ Mr. HENRY said that he had expected the surgeon of the prison would have made a report on the defendant's state of mind, but as he had not done so it would be necessary to re mand the defendant, and send a request to the surgeon to make a report. In order that the prisoner might not be in a state of temporary excitement, which might deceive the medical man, he would remand him till Saturday, and would give him time to become cooL The prisoner begged hard not to be sent to prison agn'n, and said that his wife and children did not know where he was. What would be the result if he was found to be sane? Mr. HENRY—YOU will be committed for trial. If you were sane it is a punishable crime; but if you should be found a lunatic we must take another course. The prisoner used every argument that he should not be sent to prison " at the suit of his brothers," but Mr. HEKRY, observing that the brothers had nothing to do with it, repeated that he must remand him till Saturday. Remanded accordingly. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. SMALL DEBTS BILL. Sir J.

PEACE. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented one petition frcm the Peace Society and Anti-war Society. CHIEF JUSTICESHIP OF BOMBAY. On the orders of the day being read, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK begged to make explanation extremely painful to his feelings. He had stated yesterday that in the appointment of the Chief Justice of Bombay there had been a jobbing barter of patronage between Lord Lyndhurst and the Earl of Ripon. He Lad made that statement on the represen tation of a gentleman of the highest authority in his profession—he had made it on a voluntary statement from that gentleman, who had seen the notice which he had put on the paper for yesterday. That gentleman had made a detailed statement of the facts of this case, some of which, with respect to the living of Knocton, he knew to be true. He had stated that it was agreed that the patronage of the living of Knockton should be placed in the hands of the Earl of Ripon by the Lord Chancellor. Judge, then, his amazement when on referring to a clergy list last night, he found, to his utter astonishment, that the living of Knockton was not in the gift of the Lord Chancellor at all. On discovering this, he thought it his duty to come down to the House, and before the country, as publicly as he had made the charge, to retract it.—(Cheers.) If he had for one hour give;. pain to those two Noble Lords he most deeply regretted it. and if they desired any satisfaction for the injury he had inflicted, they had it amply in the deep humiliation which he now suffered.—(Loud cheers.) LEASES (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day being now read for the House going into Committee, Sir R. FERGUSON objected, as the Bill had only been distributed that morning. Mr. LABOUCHERE explained, that the only altera tion in the Bill was in one clause, which gave a greater latitude to the tenant. SMALL DEBTS COURTS, SALARIES OF OFFICERS (IRELAND), BILL.

This Bill was also read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. POOR EMPLOYMENT (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was also read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. CONSTABULARY (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a second time, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE: objected to the Bill, as being of an unconstitutional and coercive character. Mr. I.AIIOUCLiERE denied that such was its cha racter. It was not coercive, but a means of securing more eff, ctually the peace of Ireland. Its main feature was givi►ig a power to the authorities to increase the csnstabulary force by 200 men, as occasion might re- quire. Mr: T. DUNCOMBE was not satisfied with this ex planation, as in looking into the Bill he found that a power was vested in the Lord , Lieutenant, not only to increase the force by 200 men, but in certain cases, in disturbed districts, to an unlimited extent. The con stabulary was, in fact, a portion of the standing army of the country, and the object of it appeared to be to over run Ireland with police. He did not believe that the Right Hon. Gentleman perceived the effect of the law, and he (Mr. buncombe) should move, therefore, that the Bill be read a second time on this day week, in order to give time for consideration. Mr. PIGOTT defended the Bill, and contended that it was not as just represented ; for the fact was, that at the present time the Lord-Lieutenant had the power to increase the police force unlimitedly. During the late discussions on the Coercion Bill, it was contended that in the county of Leitrim there was not a sufficient body of the police, and that the military were required. On the other hand, it was asserted by those who opposed, and, as he thought, justly opposed, the Bill, that it was only an addition of the police force which' was required to secure the peace of the county. The Bill gave the power ofincreasing the force by a maximum number of 200, who were to be employed in any district in a disturbed state, which district was to pay their expenses during their employment in it. He believed that this would be a sufficient inducement to a searching inquiry as to whether the men were necessary or not. Sir R. FERGUSON supported the Bill, and asserted that the Lord-Lieutenant had an almost unlimited power over the constabulary already. He would have rather, however, that the Government had paid attention to the out-door relief and to the provisions for schools than to this subject in the first instance. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would be better to consider the details of the measure when they Aliscqssed the several clauses in Committee. The real principle of this Bill was to increase the force only by 200 men, who were only to be employed in dis tricts for which their assistance was requested. Mr. BROTHERTON thought that great caution ought to be observed before they increased the expense of this force. Mr. MUNTZ quite agreed with the Hon. Member for Salford, for it should be recollected that when people received money from Government they were not quite so ready to give it up. It might be all very well to say that the Government would not misapply the money, but that Government might not always occupy the Treasury benches, and who was to say that those who followed them would not do so ? Mr. MACDONALD here proposed that the debate be adjourned. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE would second that motion, for he thought that every means ought to be taken to pre vent the Lord-Lieutenant obtaining these great and enormous powers. The House was about to divide, when Mr. MUNTZ suggested that the Government should compromise the matter, but the proposition was declined. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but the amendment was negatived without a division. The reports on theCus w to e i r n e s then r ea d and and the rec e i N v e e d w .

Mr. SMITIIWICK took the oaths and his seat for the city of Kilkenny. - THE ROYAL NAVY. Sir DE LACY EVANS moved that, in reference to the long retarded measure now at length on the point of being granted, with a view to the efficiency of the su perior ranks of the navy justly due to their great and eminently valuable national services, and which must also have the effect of giving ulti mate ad vancement to all the junior ranks, an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that comparison may at the same time be insti tuted into the relative claims of the old war officers of the army, of various ranks, for such analogous measure as may with equal reason be expected for their equally faithful and devoted performance of duty to her Majesty and the State. He also brought to the notice of the House the long disappointed claims. of the surviving veterans of Trafalgar and the Peninsula, to a medal commemorative of their presence in those conflicts— . • claims, respecting which their hopes had been strength ened and renewed by so many of their junior comrades having been recently and similarly rewarded for actions not more arduous nor more glorious. There was no other profession in the country so heavy taxed for the benefit of the State as the army. For instance the system of selling out was established for the purpose of absolving the Government from pro viding retiring pensions, and in his opinion it was disgrace to the nation, and oughb therefore to be abolished.—(Hear, hear.) Before an officer of the line in the infantry could o bt a in 1,000/. a year, he had t o expend some 10,0001. or 12,0001., and all this money went to the State.—(Hear, hear.) Now was thi s f a i r or just. Why, while the o ffi cer was waiti ng f or the rank, the 10,0001. or 12,000/. might have ac cumulated to 20,0001. or - 30,0001, and instead of being a gainer he was a loser by his advancement.— (Hear, bear.) liciw it wais the /Imo that Nouctimed - , ..trorawauvalasow this system, and while they were waking alterations t vourable to navy officers, they ought at least tog an inquiry into th e g r i v an ces w hi c h the offi cer s ia 1, 1 army unanim ous ly co mpl a i ne d o f.—(Hear, hear.) es l 't all events he said it was unfair of a liberal Governor o f to continue so exo r bita n t a system, and he enter tain the hope that at n o f ar di s t ant d a y it would be en t abolished.—(Cri es o f " H ear , h ea r.") Ile h • that the Noble Lord a t th e he a d of the o._e v- ' l O . ment would see th e jdstice of concurring IP this views. The Hon. Member concluded by moving:4 the House, on Wednesday. next, resolve itse lf into ad, Committee to con s id er th e propriety of adopting an dress to her Majesty on this subject.
