The 2d enacts that: any clerk in holy orders of the Established Church, who shall be charged with any of fence against the ecclesiwtical laws, or concerning whom there shall be any scandal or evil report, or who may have demeaned himself in any manner unbe coining a clergyman, the cognizance of the cause shall belong to the bishop of the diocese in which he shall hold any benefice ; and, in the case of a clerk holding no benefice, to the bishop of the diocese in which he shall reside ; and if ho have no known place of resi dence in England or Ireland, to the archbishop of the province in which the offence is alleged to have been committed ; or, if the offence is alleged to have been committed out of England and Ireland, to the Arch bishop of Canterbury ; in any case in which it shall ap pear to the bishop, &c., that the expense of the pro ceedings would be much lessened by causing them to be instituted in another diocese in which the offence is charged or reputed to have been committed, if he shall think fit, he may make over the cognizance of the cause by letters of request to the bishop of such other diocese. The 3rd enables the Bishop, if he should think proper, before articles against a clergyman are filed, to cause a preliminary inquiry to be made, and to admonish the accused, who may consent to a private inquiry taking place. The Bishop, either personally or by commission, to examine witnesses in the presence of the accused, unless with his written consent. Ile may tender wit nesses for examination, and cross•examine such wit nesses as shall appear in support of the charge ; no counsel, advocate, agent, proctor, or attorney, shall be allowed to be present. If upon being required so to do, the accused party shall thereupon, by some writing under his hand, confess the truth of the charge, and con sent that the Bishop shall forthwith pronounce sentence upon him, the Bishop may pronounce forthwith such sentence, which shall not exceed the sentence which might be pronounced in due course of law. The 4th requires that articles of accusation shall be signed and approved of by an Advocate practising in Doctors' Commons, and the party exhibiting such articles to be bound with two sureties for the payment of costs in the event of the charge failing, to be approved of by the Registrar of the diocese in sums to be fixed by the Bishop.

Questions of fact to be decided by a majority of the court, and those of law by the Bishop, &c. 15th. Offences and punishments.

Empowers the Bishop to inhibit the accused from performing the services of the Church during the investigation and until the decision of the appeal, if appeal be claimed. The accused may nominate a fit person to act, who, if approved of by the Bishop, to be licensed. If no such appointment be made, the Bishop to appoint and fix the stipend, not to exceed half the net income of the benefice. 19th. Witnesses and production of papers may be compelled to attend by subpoena. 22d. Witnesses to be examined on oath. 23d. Appeal allowed to either party to the Court of Appeal only on the ground that evidence material to the issue of the cause has been wrongfully received or re jected, or that any judgment in order given to the cause by the Bishop, &c., was not warranted by law, and on either ground to move the Court of Appeal to order that a new trial, or that the judgment or order complained of be vacated and annulled. 24. Appeal shall be to the Queen in Council, and shall be heard before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, unless the articles shall charge heresy, or the Bishop havinx cognisance of the cause shall be of opinion, and shall certify under his hand to the Lord Chancellor, that a question of heresy or false doctrine arises from consideration of the cause, when the appeal shall be to a commission of delegates, to be appointed according to the laws in force in cases of heresy, before the passing of the Act 2 and 3 William IV., intituled " An Act for transferring the Powers of the High Court of Delegates both in Ecclesiastical and Maritime Causes to his Majesty in Council." 25. Bishops who are of the Privy Council are to be of the Judicial Committee on appeals, and no such appeal shall be heard before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, unless, at least, one of such Bishops shall be present at the hearing tht reof. The Bishop who shall have heard any such case, either personally or other wise, shall not sit as a member of the Judicial Committee on appeal in that case. 26.

The result is very uncertain. THE PRESENT HOT WEATHER.—The most agreeable relief during this hot weather, is the use of Ross and Sons Esprit de Lavande, as it is not only the most durable of per fumes, but the most reviving and refreshing. It is made from the finest lavender water, perfected with extracts from the choicest flowers, woods and Oriental gums, and smells, if possible, more pleasant as it dries on the handkerchief, than when first. applied. It has taken the sole propriators2o years to bring it to its present state of perfection.

THE SUN, _LONDON, SATURDAY molt N JULY 4, 1846. to the practical conclusion at which non-professional men would arrive ; namely, " that, whatever may be the case, it is certain that the disorder must be a most extraordinary one, with which the Eclair is infected, if it has produced so many lamentable results ; and so much the more extraordinary, as other vessels have held the same course as the Eclair, upon the same coasts of Africa, have not contracted any disease."* The Neapo litan Government, whether rightly or wrongly, were disposed to deal with this as a peculiar case ; and it is pretty evident that, had not quarantine restrictions with respect to this vessel been carried out by our Govern ment the injurious effects to British commerce—setting aside the risk to public health—would have still been greater than they were. It is impossible not to commend the fair and candid spirit which has been manifested by our Government in publishing, as it has done, the whole of the correspond ence connected with the disease which prevailed in this ill-fated vessel. It will show to foreign countries that there is no desire to conceal facts, or to give a false colouring to events which appear to militate against the present feeling to abolish the laws of quarantine ; and although the result to our minds leaves it certain that these laws, in a mitigated form, cannot be dispensed with, yet it is satisfactory to meet with a clear case, in which facts and medical theories on the subject of con. tagion can be fairly contrasted. No later than the 16th of May, 1846, a motion was made in the House of Commons on the quarantine laws by Dr. Bowring. This gentleman, not being then in formed of the facts which have since come to light, argued, with respect to the disease in the Eclair, basing his argument on the views of Dr. M'William, that there was not the slightest evidence that the disease was com municated from one person to another, thereby assuming that all fevers acquired on the African coast must possess precisely the same characters as the fever observed by Dr. M'William on the African rivers. He further con tended, that " had they (the crew of the Eclair) been removed from the focus of contagion, there would have been no danger whatever to others, and he believed many valuable lives would have been saved." Another mem ber thought "that the abolition of these (the quarantine) laws would be a step not only in humanity, but towards free trade;" and Mr. Mackinnon declared, " that if the quarantine regulations had not been in existence, he sincerely believed that one-half of the persons who perished in the Eclair would have been saved." This commercial view of the question —a view which, for the sake of freedom of trade, leads its advocates to propose, not merely the removal of abuses, but the entire abolition of a system which civilised countries have set up as a safeguard against the importation of disease. Unfortunately for the arguments thus employed, they are entirely opposed to the facts contained in this corres pondence. While Dr. ,'William's remarks on the ab sence of contagion apply to the river fever, Dr. Bowring refers them to a fever contracted on the coast, differing completely in symptoms from that described by Dr. William, especially in the absence of one which is cha racteristic of the most aggravated form of the malady, namely, " black vomit." Mr. Rendall's letter will suffice to show whether there would or would not have been danger to otheis by the disposal of the crew of the Eclair in any other way than th adopted under the directions of Sir W. Pym and Mr. Arnott. The same answer may be returned to Mr. Mackinnon's declaration, that "if the quarantine regu lations had not been in existence. he sincerely believed that one-half the persons who perished in the Eclair would have been saved." The correspondence shows that the numbdr of the deaths after the arrival of this vessel and her being placed in quarantine was only five. It also proves that the number of deaths from fever at Bona Vista, where the vessel had not been placed under any quarantine restrictions, amounted up to the last date (March 9) to no less than 400. We are, therefore, disposed to draw a conclusion the converse of that at which this gentleman has arrived, and to express our firm belief, from the report before us, that had the Portuguese Governor at Bona Vista adopted the quaran tine restrictions resorted to in this country, not one-half only, but probably the whole of the 400 individuals who have fallen victims to the fever in that island would now have been living. Mr. Macaulay, a resident on the island, in his official correspondence with the Earl of Aberdeen, says, in relation to this subject:— " One thing is quite clear, that the medical officers of the Eclair, who had never previously served on the African station, misunderstood the malady which pre vailed on board their ship, declaring from first to last that it was nothing but the common coast fever—an opinion which, whilst it unhappily obtained the unequi vocal concurrence of the only Portuguese doctor in the island, received also the tacit assent, if not the unre served approval, of the only English doctor. " Assured, by the concurrent testimony of all the medical men to whom reference could be made, both ashore and afloat, it is not surprising that the Governor- General should have permitted the intercourse between the ship and the shore to continue. As an unprofes sional man, he could not be expected to see cause for alarm and precaution where none was thought necessary by the doctors."—Page 39. Dr. Bowring lately stated in Parliament that "he had seen again and again that a crew, arriving in perfect health, had perished from being delivered over to the tender mercies of the sanitary laws." He may now, we think, fairly add to his experience by a perusal of this correspondence, in observing what are the effects of deliverinz over the crew of a vessel effected with a sus picious disease to the tender mercies of commercial theorists! The question is, not as Dr. Bowring puts it, whether the healthy crews of vessels are to be subjected to vexatious restrictions of intercourse, but whether those crews which are not healthy are, for the sake of freedom of trade, to become the means of spreading a most fatal malady throughout a healthy community. Is it better to cut off intercourse with the crew of a vessel affected with disease. or to run the risk of multiplying the inortalitya hundredfold among the community bscause the present quarantine system is open to abuse? A man must be singularly infected with the doctrines of free trade, and singularly ignorant of the nature and progress of contagious diseases, who can hesitate in deciding be tween these alternatives? The commercial party are, however, fully aware of this difficulty to the practical application of their views; they therefore adopt the opi nion, that the disease, whatever it may be, is not con tagious, and they seek to explain its diffusion by refe rence to all sorts of contingent circumstances—the state of the thermometer, barometer, malaria, decomposed bilge -water, mental depression, the use of ardent spirits, Scc. We do not deny the influence of these causes in aid ing the diffusion and increasing the mortality of fever, but we deny that they suffice to explain how it happened, coast, g au i after t t e e r that, in spite of the removal ofthecre of the v crew at Boila Vista, es. and in spite of the thorou e g n h aff o o ve a r r haul overhauling, white. washing, ves sel, htihneg ,Eclair fumigation, sho uld cooling, and watering still, having sailed over nearly 2,000 miles of sea, become a source of infection and a direct cause of death to several persons who were permitted to have intercourse with the ship. This may be explained either by contagion existing in the ship itself or in the crew—we care not, which. The bare fact still remains—a most fatal ma lady identical with that which prevails and is endemic en the coast of Africa, was brought close to our shores, and proved rapidly fatal to some who had not been exposed to these peculiar therraometrical and barometrical changes, malaria, the vapour of bilge water, So. It is an event of this kind which nations dread, and to prevent which quarantine re strictions are established. That these sometimes fail to keep out disease, that they are most expensive to maintain, that they are great burdens on commerce, and that they are turned to vexatious uses by despotic states, are circumstances which, with the evidence from this correspondence before us, fail to furnish sufficient ground for their entire abolition. We shall reserve our examination of the conflicting views entertained by Sir W. Burnett and Sir W. Pym, on the nature of the fever which prevailed in the Eclair, for a future number. * " Che qualunque pert) fosse certo the un morbo tutto straordinario deve esser quell° di cui e infettato • l'Eclair,' se tanti tristi effetti ha predotto, e Canto pih straordinario in quanta the gli altri legni the han tenuto la stessa rutta the l'Eclair, non han contratto aleur morbo."

In the last volume of this journal some remarks were made upon the alleged importation of the African fever. and the state of the Eclair steam-sloop, which had recently reached this country from the coast of Africa.. The official report of the condition of that vessel on its arrival, by Sir W. Pym and Mr. J. M. Arnott, will be found at p. 1,043 of the same volume. So soon as this report appeared, we did not hesitate to express the opinion, that the fever had certainly, in this instance, spread by contagion, and that it was prebably some severe modification of the African coast fever, described by Dr. M•William as non-contagious. The report rendered it evident that the fever thus imported to our coast retained its virulent contagious character, even after the arrival of the vessel at the quarantine station of Standgaie Creek. This inference was drawn from the facts-1, that so many medical man entering the ship at different places during the voyage had been at tacked, and four had died ; 2, that the coast pilot taken into the vessel at Portsmouth was speedily carried off by an attack ; and 3, that a physician who had volunterred his services on the arrival of the vessel at Standgate, had been soon afterwards seized with the fever. The circumstances which came to the knowledge of Sir %V. rym and Mr. Arnott in October last appear to have left not the slightest doubt in their minds that there would be the greatest danger in allowing free intercourse with this pestilential ship ; and subsequent events have most strongly justified the conclusion at which they then arrived. It was considered necessary: —l. To observe strict quarantine. 2. To separate the sick from the healthy so soon as an opportunity should occur without endangering the public health. Some dissatisfaction was expressed, at the time, that this plan of separating the sick from the healthy had not been adopted immediately on the arrival of the Eclair; and we gather from the correspondence now before us, that a proposition has been made to remove the sick at once to Hasler Hospital. This was on the 29th September, 1845, when, on the day preceding, the following certifi cate had been given by Dr. T. H. Salter:— " Motherbank Quarantine office, Sept. 28, 1845. " I hereby certify that I have examined the comman der and surgeon on board her Majesty's steam-ship Eclair. I find that as many as 60 have died of fever, and that as many as seven are still suffering from that disease. Three of the cases have commenced within the last week; and the type of the fever is of the most severe form—that accompanied with black vomiting. Under these circumstances, I have recommended the superin tendent not to release the vessel, and submit this report of the case. I cannot but consider the disease contagious. " T. H. SALTER, M.D." Dr. Richardson, however, in a letter addressed to the Admiral of the station, calls the disease the " bilious remittent fever," and ascribes its spreading among the crew to the fact that they had all been exposed to " malaria" on the coast. He further observes, " Notwithstanding the extraordinary mortality that has swept off so large a proportion of the crew of the vessel, I entertain no fears of her being the means of introducing epidemic disease into this country." At the very time these lines were penned, the so-called " bilious remittent" had actually, as we now find, be gun to spread with fatal rapidity among the inha bitants of the hospitable island where the vessel had been allowed to take shelter on her way to England. Dr, Richardson's view was supported by the opinion of Sir W. Burnett ; but, fortunately for this country, judging from the facts now brought to light in the cor respondence before us, these suggestions were not acted upon. The vessel was ordered to Standgate Creek, and arrangements were mane to separate the sick without exposing any person to the risk of infection, or giving this " bilious remittent " the opportunity of diffusing itself through England. In our judgment, it certainly would have been better could this plan have been carried out on the first arrival of the vessel, without incurring loss of time by sending her to a remote quarantine sta tion ; and Mr. Arnott, it appears, had entered into an arrangement to that effect with Read-Admiral Parker. We learn, however, from the correspondence of Sir W. Pym, that there was a want of proper accommoda tion at the Motherbank; and, on the whole, it was con sidered better for the healthy and sick that the vessel should proceed at once to Standgate Creek. The pro gress of the disease, after the arrival of the vessel there, has been already detailed in our columns, and we shall therefore pass to another part of the subject. The most interesting portion of the correspondence before us, is that which refers to the results which fol lowed the visit of the Eclair to Buns Vista. Govern ment has been fer some weeks in possession of the im portant information, which is now, for the first time, laid before the public. The correspondence can, we think, leave no reasonable doubt that the fever of the Eclair was of the worst and most malignant form; that its real character, as marked by the occurrence of black vomit, was concealed from the Portuguese Governor-General of Bona Vista; that it was eminently contagious, and wholly different in its nature from the coast remittent fever. A letter addressed to the Earl of Aberdeen, by Mr. Rendall, our consul for the Cape Verde Islands, dated St. Antonio, December 22, 1845 (received March 9, 1846, extracts from which we have already published), detailed the opinion which led to the belief that the disease was the common African fever, which led to Dr. Kenny granting pratique to the Eclair, and to the ad mission of her unfortunate crew to the fort upon the Wand. This letter, it will be observed, is dated Dec. 22. The deaths are therein stated to have amounted, at that time, to 250. The latest intelligence, in this correspondence, brings us to a letter from Ponta do Sal Antonio, dated March 9, 1846, received April 17. From this we learn that the sickness still continued in the villages of the interior of the island, and that the number of deaths then amounted to upwards of 40G. Our space will not allow us to make any futther comments on this report in the present number ; but we must request our readers to observe that after the crew had left the ship, and were stationed on the islan:l, the disease continued to spread and to prove equally fatal— that only one short week after the departure of the Eclair, a Portuguese soldier, who had been housed with the crew, was seized and died, that the following day another soldier died, that two more were seized, brought into town, and from this time two or three cases occurred daily, all within the immediate neighbourhood of the houses where the first death took place! Those who were inclined to disregard this clear order of causation, and to refer the disease to stagnant water, malaria, &c. —very convenient means of evading a difficulty in a theory—now began to alter their opinion, and finally de clared the fever to be of a most contagious nature. If any confirmation of this opinion be required, it will be found in the statement that the fever, almost without exception, proved contagious to those who acted as nurses to the sick! Now we care not whether a disease of this description be called " bilious remittent fever," or not ; but the facts here related are entirely opposed to the premature as sertion of Dr. Richardson, that there would be no fur ther risk of infection under the circumstances than in ordinary cases of typhus fever. These facts plainly show that the greatest risk might have been incurred by admitting this pestilential ship and crew to pratique according to his suggestion. It is, indeed, a matter of regret that while off our coast five persons should have perished on board this vessel ; but we must balance against this sad result, the fearul effects of that partial intercourse with the crew which has led to the depopu lation of the island of Bona Vista, and its abandon ment by those who had strength to remove from it. Aedical theories concerning the origin and progress of fevers are very interesting as subjects of discussion, and call forth much ingenuity, either in oral argu ment or written treatises. So long as they are confined to discussion no harm is done ; but when carried into practice, at the possible risk of endangering the lives of thousands, it is but a poor compensation to find, when hun dreds are laid in their graves, that the medical theorist retracts his opinion and acknowledges his mistake. We are no advocates for the maintenance of the quarantine laws in their present absurd and anomalous condition ; but we are still less disposed to join with the commercial party, who either, cannot or will not see anything like cause and effect in events like these, which to unbiassed minds cannot fail to bring home the most complete con viction. If any explanation can be given of the diffusion of this " common African fever" throughout the island of Bona Vista, independently of its importation by the Eclair, and its subsequent propagation by human conta gion, we think that the common opinion of small-pox or any other disease being contagious, must be at once abandoned. If no other explanation can be given than that which we have suggested, then we must admit that this country has had a very narrow escape from a disease more dangerous than either the plague or cholera. The most important question in the correspondence on the subject of the Eclair is undoubtedly that which relates to the contagious or non-contagious nature of the fever, which this vessel is alleged to have brought from the coast of Africa. On this point the Superintendent- General of Quarantine, Sir W. Pym, and the Director- General of the Medical Department of the Navy, Sir. W. Burnett, entertain directly opposite opinions; and it may he easily conceived, therefore, that the - Lords of the Admiralty have felt exceedingly embarrassed in laying down rules for the commanders of vessels on the African station, or in advising or sanctioning a departure from any of the quarantine regulations now in force. The question at issue involves many important ques. tions: thus it not merely includes the possible importa tion of a very fatal and unmanageable disease into our own country, but the entire prohibition of commercial intercourse with other European states. The fact that we are satisfied with certain medical theories on the subject, by no means binds other countries to join in our views ,• and we should very soon find that by prema turely laying aside our own quarantine laws we should only be adding; to the rigorous and universal application of those restrictions which the non-contagionist party already complain of as a great bar to commercial inter course. The House of Commons has already, and very properly, sanctioned the principles of a relaxation of these laws ; but the Government roust go beyond this, before it undertakes their abolition—it must be prepared to show, to the satisfaction of all European countries, that there are no grounds for maintaining them, or a reform of our own system will only be productive of greater injury than that which already exists. Thus, to take the case of the Eclair, we find from this correspondence that, on the intelligence of the arrival of this vessel in England reaching Naples, all English ves sels were immediately required to undergo a severe quarantine, those coming from parts between Portland and Dover be:rig absolutely excluded ! The British Minister attempted to effect some mitigation of this order—a representation having been made that, owing to the sanitary restrictions imposed, the fever had not spread ; but this was of no avail. Without entering into the question of the Witte - nail of miasmata, the use of ardent spirits, moral influences, &c., in the production of the disease, or whether it was a river or coast Lever= a simple serult/ent or a bilious remittent—the Neapo litan Council, on Cite Hai of October last, came at once LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jay 2. The Court did not sit to-day, the Judges being occupied in the further hearing of Sheehy v. Lord Muskerry, in the House of Lords. (Sittings at :Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before the LORD CIRIEF BanoN and Common Juries.) *DIMOND/ D. ROBSON. The plaintiff is a silversmith and jeweller, residing at Southampton-row, Russell square ; the defendant keeps the Swan Inn, at Kensington. Last New Year's day, the plaintiff went with sonic ladies of his family to spond the afternoon with a friend at Kensington. He drove down in a phaeton, drawn by a single horse, which he put up at the Swan. Hei was told by the ostler that the house was usually closed between eleven and twelve ; but he said, "Never mind; I'll make it all right with vou." The cloaks of the ladies were put into the bar, and' the horse was put into a sort of shed, which was used as a stable. The plaintiff left his friend's house about one in the morning of the 2d of January, and preceded his family to the Swan, to make pre paration for their return to London. He knocked repeatedly, but for some time got no answer. At length the ostler was aroused, he struck a light, and having inquired what the plaintiff wanted, he told him that he had sat up until his master forced him to go to bed ; that the house was shut up for the night ; and that neither his horse nor his cloaks could be procured till the following morning. The plaintiff told him that would not do; that he he had some ladies waiting with him ; and that he should get to town. After some further parley, and after having at length by repeated knocking and kicking forced open the gate, the plaintiff was surrounded by a mob, was struck, and filially given into the custody of the police by the defendant. He was carried to the station house, but the inspector on hearing the circumstance refused to entertain the charge. He was subsequently obliged to procure cabs at great inconvenience, and thus got with his family to town. The next morning he went to Kensington with his brother, and paid the defendant 3s. for the keep of the horse. It was proved that the shed was in a very wretched state, covered with dung, and open at the roof. The horse got ill, and was obliged to be put under the care of a veterinary surgeon. These were the main features of the case, which was conducted on the part of the plaintiff by Mr. Martin, Mr. E James, and Mr. Prentice; and for the de fendant by Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Bovill. It was contended on the part of the defendant that he was not bound to keep his house open to an unseasonable and unusual hour for the convenience of the plaintiff, and that the private agreement made between the latter and the ostler—viz., to keep the horse ready harnessed and to de liver him at one o'clock, was not binding on the innkeeper his master. The Loan CHIEF Baltox told the jury that he would not leave them any question to decide on about which a legal difficulty might afterwards be raised, but that he would take their opinion on a question of fact. He was of *pin on that it was settled law that an innkeeper was bound to receive a guest or traveller in his house at any hour that was not per fectly unreasonable, and it was no defence that he was a Sun day traveller, or that the innkeeper was gone to bed. An innkeeper was bound to submit to the inconveniences of his calling; they might be great or they might be trivial, but the calling was his own choice. The law could never and did never contemplate that a traveller travelling alone at midnight over the moors of Yorkshire, for instance, and who sought admission into a public inn, was to be told " You ca n't get in ; we are all in bed, and you must wait till five o'clock in the morning." It was absurd to suppose that the law would sanction such an act as that; and he told the jury that the law did not sanction it. But even supposing that such was the law, he would put it to the jury whether it was not a hard, unfeeling act for the defendant to say to this plaintiff, "You can't get your cloaks or shawls; they are shut up in the bar; you can't get your horse; he is shut up in my stable; you may walk to town, or you may remain in the open air all night, just as you please, and you shall have them at five o'clock in the morning." Suppose he had the strictest right to do this, ought he to have done it? and did the jury conceive that such a proceeding ought not to meet with punishment? The ostler was the agent of his master, and he was bound by his agreement; and if any inconvenience occurred to the master by such agreement, the ostler might be dismissed. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101. Friday, July 3. (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) No cese worthy of notice occupied the attention of this Court to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 3' (Before Mr. Commissioner FANI.) The clerk of the Sheriff' Court for the City of London handed in a document issued from that Court on a judgment, and applied under the Small Debts Act fur an order of the Commissioner to enforce that judgment. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the document did not set forth the jurisdiction of the Court. The Clerk said that there could be no doubt of the juris diction of the Judge of the Sheriffs' Court to extend all over the City of. London. The - Learned Commf.sstoxEn—No doubt he knows his own jurisdiction, but lam not bound or expected to know it. If I stirred in the matter, and the Court below had no jurisdic tion, I should be laying myself open to an action. The Clerk said that it was shown in the record that the de fendant resided within the jurisdiction of the Sheriffs' Court. The CommssioNEß—That is a mere suggestion on the re cord, which may, or may not, be true—suggestions on re cords are generally false. In the Exchequer, it was formerly set out that the debtor was indebted to our Sovereign Lord the King, which was not a fact; suggestions, therefore, went for nothing. The Clerk said that if his Honour would suggest what would be satisfactory evidence of the jurisdiction it should be adduced. The Learned CO3MISSIOI4IER would not trouble himself to suggest what was required. When papers were put before him he would say whether he would act on them or not. He would not in this case. SECONDARIES' COURT, July 3. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) ERWOOD V. YOUNG. This was an action to recover the sum of 71. 103., for a quarter's rent of apartments in Brownlow-street, Holborn. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. On the part of the plaintiff evidence was adduced that the defendant had occupied the apartments for eighteen months up to Lady-day last, and the rent was claimed for the last quarter. Fur the defendant, however, six receipts were put in, cover ing the whole of the peria, but the latter had been altered, and it was contended was not in the writing of the plaintiff, but the evidence slightly went in the affirmative. Another paper was put in, being an unstamped receipt for 51., which was rejected as evidence. The Learned SECONDARY said it appeared to him that the question was a very simple one, and that was—whether the receipt was in the band-writing of the plaintiff ? As all the receipts had been produced, it could only allude to the quar ter in dispute; the paper for the 51. might probably have been for a sum paid on account, and that on the payment of the balance, the receipt, which was a stamped duplicate of the other, might have been altered. The jury almost immediately gave a verdict for defendant. The SECONDARY said that there could be very little doubt in the matter. This was the only case. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. Guildford, July 3. (Before G. T. NICHOLSON, Esq., Chairman, the Earl of LOVELACE, Lord LovAIN, G. BEST, Esq.. &c., &e.) THE JOINT STOCK COMPANY REGISTRATION A CT.-- IMPORTANT DECISION. —SA MUEL HENRY POWELL, APPELLANT, V. ♦ CONVICTION BY THE HON. MR. NORTON. This was an appeal against a decision of Mr. Norton at the Lambeth Police Court, convicting the appellant in the sum of 201. for neglecting to register a railway speculation, of which he had been the promoter. Mr. W. Payne appeared in support of the conviction. Mr. Wallenger and Mr. Bagley were for the appellant. Mr. PAYNE havii.g taken some objections to the notice of appeal, which were overruled by the Court, Mr. WALLENCER addressed the bench on behalf of the appellant. He said that this was an appeal against a conviction under the Act of the 7th and Bth Victoria, commonly known as the Joint-stock Company Registra tion Act. The appellant was alleged to have been the promoter of a railway undertaking called the Grand Junction, Great Western and South Western Junction Railway Company, and a penalty of 201. had been inflicted upon him for not having registered the com pany in accordance with the provisions of the above Act of Parliament. He should contend that such an association did not come within the scope and meaning of this Act of Parliament, and he referred the Court to the second clause in the Act, which required that cer tain undertakings should be registered, but which ex pressly excepted all undertakings from the operation of the Act, where they could not be carried into effect without obtaining the sanction of an Act of Parliament. Now, as it was perfectly clear that the undertaking in question could not be carried into effect without an Act of Parliament, he submitted that the clause imposing the penalty could not apply to the case, and that, there fore, the conviction must be quashed. The Learned Council then cited the decision given by Lord Denman in a recent case of Lorton v. Hickman which, he said, entirely confirmed the view of the Act he beg►ged to suggest to the Bench, and he therefore called upon the magistrates to quash the conviction. Mr. BAGLEY, on the same side, said it appeared to him the point was so clear, that he would not trouble the Court further than to say that in another decision in the Court of Exchequer, la the case of Smith v. Young, the very same principle had been sanctioned by the Court. Mr. PA NE said these were cases in which the legality of the sale of scrip was the question at issue, and they did not apply to this case. Mr. WALLENGER said the point involved in these cases was, whether railways came within the scope of the Joint-stock Company Registration Act, which was the question now at issue. - Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the respondent, submitted that the Act of Parliament in question was clearly in tended to apply to railways as well as to every other description of joint-stock undertaking. lie cited the 4th section of the Act in question, and said, that after enumerating various descriptions of w)rks, it concluded by the words, " whether for executing an y suc h wor k as aforesaid under the authority of the Act of Parliament, or for any other purpose, the same should be registered in accordance with the provisions of the Act." Ile re minded the Court that it was exceedingly important for the public to know who were the originators and pro moters of those schemes, and in confirmation of his opinion that they came within the scope of the Act of Patliament, he said he was in a condition to prove that almost up to that very day it had been the practice to register all such undertakings. Mr. WALLENGER admitted that this might have been done, but that did not alter the case. The question was a very nice one, and until the decision to which he had referred there might have been some doubt upon the point, which was now quite settled. The COURT, after a short consultation, quashed the conviction. Mr. WALLENQER applied for full costs. The COURT, however, said they did not think it Wa3 a case in which they could allow more than the usual amount of forty shillings. A ROBIN'S NEST IN AN ORGAN.—On Sunday last, during divine service in St. Michael's Church, in this town, the organist found some obstruction in the organ that pre vented him playing, and on searching for the cause after the congregation were dismissed, discovered, to his no small as tonishment, a robin's nest, with three young ones in it. They were not disturbed in their singular ret rea t, but were left to take their flight, which they will be bible to do in a few CtS ti va tit e. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Cii.titGE or Hocussixo.—Thursday a weaver, named Jo seph Fraser, but whose real name was Ferry, was charged before Alderman Moon on suspicion of stealing 10/. Thomas Newbury, a superannuated naval officer, residing in Cannon-street-road, stated that on the previous afternoon he was coming from the Admiralty, after receiving between if,. and 171., when a tall, gentlemanly-looking man, rather puck-marked, with black hair and small dark whiskers, trod on his heel, and immediately begged his pardon. They walked on together, the gentleman saying that he delighted in the conversation of sailors, and asked him if he would take a glass of ale, which witness declined. After walking some distance further, his kind companion at last prevailed on him to accept of a glass of rum, and a quartern was called for. Atter that, witness, as his friend was so liberal, thought it his turn to stand treat, and they had some more rum. They then left the public-house, the gentlemanly-looking individual being very attentive, and pressing Mr. Newbury to come home with him to see his domicile, which kind offer was declined. They proceeded along Chancery-lane, when a similar offer was made to show him the various offices there. Finding that this did not succeed, witness was pre veiled upon to go into a public-house and have some gin at the stranger's expense, after which they proceeded into Holborn, and parted. Complainant had scarcely been left alone one minute when he was accosted by an elderly person, who began conversing with him on religious sub jects, and eventually asked him if he would take a glass of gin. He then began to suspect that some trick was in tended, and declined taking anything. However, they were joined by another man, and complainant did not know any thing more until he found himself being robbed in the par lour of the Golden Lion, King-street, Smithfield, by four men. The prisoner was one of them. Thomas Nauton, the potboy of the Golden Lion, deposed to the prisoner coining in with four men, when they had a pint of ale. Afterwards a quartern of rum was ordered; but on returning with it he heard a scuffle, and found the door fast. He knocked, and on its being opened the whole five walked out of the room, the complainant having hold of the prisoner by the coat, and accusing him of robbing him (Newbury) of 101. They all walked towards the door. when the prisoner slipped away and ran off, followed by witness, who overtook him and gave him into custody. The others escaped. Tile landlord gave similar testimony. Alderman Moos decided on remanding the prisoner, to make further inquiries concerning him, as the case was a very suspicious one. WANDSWORTH. EXTRAORDINAIX CASE OF POISONING.—Thursday, as Mr. Clive was about to vacate the bench, Inspector Busain, of the V division, brought into the Court, and placed in the dock, Mary North, a sullen-looking girl, aged eighteen, housemaid to Mr. Barker, coach proprietor; the charge, as entered in the police-sheet, against the prisoner being that of administering a quantity of vitriol to Mary Anne Barker, aged four months, the infant daughter of Mr. Charles Barker, Wandsworth, with intent to murder or do some grievous bodily harm to it. Mrs. Mary Barker, the wife of Mr. Charles Barker, omnibus proprietor, living in North- street, Wandsworth, having been sworn, said—The prisoner was in my service as a servant of all work. I have a child, which will be four months old the sth of this month, now lying ill. Mr. CLlvE—When did you first observe anything mate rially the matter with your child ? Mrs. Barker—Last even ing, a few minutes to seven o'clock, the child was brought to me by the prisoner foaming at the mouth. She was much altered in appearance. She had been a little cross during the day, and had.not slept much. She had been vaccinated re cently, and this might account for it. When the prisoner came to me, she said, " 0 dear me, ma'am, what is the matter with baby?" I did not make any reply, but immediately sent her for Dr. Howell. The lips, tongue, and the whole of the mouth were quite burnt. On the chin was a brown spot, as if something had been spilt upon it. I had sent the prisoner that morning for the ingredients necessary to make blacking for the harness, and one of those ingredient was four ounces, of oil of vitriol. I used about half of the vitriol, and gave the bottle ccaitaining the remainder to the prisoner to put on the top shelf in the kitchen, because the children should not get at it. She knew that the liquid contained iu the bottle was dangerous, because Mr. Leach, who had served her with it, bad, according to her own statement, told her that be would not have let her have it had he not knwn who it was for. The bottle produced by the inspector, labelled " Vitriol, poison," is the same the prisoner fetched me. The prisoner can read, not only print ing, but writing. Mr. George Tatham, surgeon, said he was sent for at seven o'clock the previous evening, but not being at home when the message arrived he did not see the child until half past nine o'clock ; it was then sitting on the prisoner's lap. with its head lolling upon its right shoulder. On seeing the child, he immediately exclaimed, "This child has had vitriol." There were then present the mother, the sister, the servant, and Mr. Howell. He looked at the child's mouth, and found portions of it excoriated. and the gums, roof, and tongue were white, and showed marks of an acrid or corrosive poison. Witness at once knew that vitriol had been administered, having had a previous case of poisoning by vitriol. He asked Mrs. Barker if she had any vitriol in the house, and she admitted she had. The cloth produced by the inspector (a child's napkin) he had not examined until that morning; the light green marks on it were produced by the child's vomiting; the brown marks were such as would be produced by vitriol. They might have been caused when wiping the child's mouth. It would be difficult for him to say positively that the cloth was stained by vitriol, but he believed it to be so. Dirs. Barker said, there were so many napkins used when the child vomited, and they were all put away together, that she could not undertake to say that the one produced was that with which the prisoner wiped the infant's mouth. Mr. Tatham said, the child was at present in a very pre carious state. It was possible that she might live four or five days longer, and she might recover. Mr. CLIVE asked the prisoner if she desired to say any thing? _ Tiie prisoner (in a firm voice) said, I never touched the vitriol. I never went nigh it. I never put my hand on the shelf, after mistress gave it to rue to put there. Mr. CLIvE remanded the case for a week. THE DOUBLE SUICIDE AT NOTTINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY AFTERSOON.—Yesterday after noon Mr. Coroner Browne held an inquest on the bodies of the two wretched men, William and Samuel Collyer, which were lying at the police-station, St. John's-street. The find ing of the bodies and the other particulars were proved by the witnesses who were examined; and the following evi dence was also taken : Mary Ward, Buck lane, who knew the deceased inti mately, said, that their mother di e d a year l ast F e b ruary, since Which time they have had no female in the house. A fortnight since to-day Samuel was speaking of his affairs, and said they were in embarrassed circumstances. He knew that 1 was aware of their circumstances. Some years ago there was something happened to their sister; a fortnight ago I was inquiring about her; she is now in the Asylum. I have observed that they have been very much depressed in spirits at times; more particularly William. I cannot say that I ever saw anything like insanity about them. William was easily excited. The father appeared of very quiet habits. I saw him on Friday last at the door. I have observed that Samuel has looked very stolid lately. Once William ap peared in a very depressed state of mind, and hinted to me that he had meditated self-destruction; that was a year last May. He said if be had done that there would have been no heaven. I endeavoured to dissuade him from doing any thing of the sort. I have had no conversation with him since then on any subject. For some time after that he ap peared very much depressed. By a juror—l am not aware that any of thefamily, except the sister, ever showed signs of insanity. The father seemed to be in good spirits and smiled. On Monday morn ing he (tt:e father) was seen at home. The family told me that they were in difficulties; fresh bonds were required; and that they tried to get them, but could not. Samuel men tioned this to me about live months ago. I have no idea where the father is. I have heard the brothers speak of each other very highly. John Chapnian, o(Parliament-street, joiner, deposed as follows :—I have known the deceased seven years. Between eleven and twelve on Tuesday, as I was going to Lenton to fetch some goods, I saw them in the lane near Lenton, coming towards the park. I spoke to them and passed on. William called me back, arid said, " Have you heard any thing of us?" I asked what they meant. He said, " Have you heard anything about our circumstances? We owe a deal of money." They both appeared very melancholy; one was pulling the hedge. When I returned from Lenton I ob served some women about their house, who said they believed the old gentleman was dead in bed, for the sons had not been home that night. When I met the deceased they looked very strange. Other witnesses deposed to their appearing very melan choly, and the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of " Suicide under temporary derangement." Late last night, the old man, who was supposed to have been murdered, was found lying almost exhausted under a stack in Beeston meadows, about three miles from the town. A milkman, named Holmes, had given him something to eat on Tuesday evening, which was the only food he had had since Saturday night. He was taken to Holme's cottage, where he had some tea, which revived him, and he was then conveyed to Nottingham, at which place be arrived about midnight. On the road he talked a good deal, and said, "Where are my poor lads; can you tell me anything about them? Are they dead? Are they buried? Lord, have mercy upon me; I h ave b een a very w i cked man, " and similar things. He talked very wildly also about his clubs, his circumstances, and his daughter. He said he had been to the canal two or three times to throw himself in, but could never summon courage enough. It seems no one had told him what his sons had done. A policeman sat up with him all night, and this morning he was removed to the work house, where he remains in a most wretched condition. IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS IN BELGIUM.-- The Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs has recently i ssue d th e f o llowing notice :—" It appears that certain travellers en tertain the opinion that they may proceed to Belgium with out being provided with a passport. This is an error, how ever, which it is iraportrnt to rectify, and it may be useful to state that it is obligatory for every foreigner who travels in or through Belgium to have a passport in due form. The greatest facilities, however, are given for the examination of those documents, which, generally speaking, remain in the possession of the travellers." This notice, which is appended to all the official advertisements relating to the Dover and Ostend steam-packets of the English and Tiolgian Oovern. ment, is the more important, !nap - midi as it isitated In the circulars of some steam-packet companies that passports are not required in Belgium. THE DOG -DAYS.—We now understand the use of the basins in Trafalgar-square. They were evidently never meant to be ornamental, but they promise to become ex tremely useful. During the late warm weather we observed several dogs standing o n th e i r hi n d l egs drinking out of the basid. The dogs like to h ave their water like gillger.beer, " fresh from the fountain." There is no doubt the basins are kept a 3 large preventives against hydrophobia, and we must say, ugly as they are. we only wish there were more of them in the metropolis. Notices should be written up, directing the canine species to Trafalgar-square, with directions, to avoid confusion, that "they are to sit down with their heads towards Pall• mall, and to 411 e lip with their tails on a line with the lion's at the top of Northumberland house. Punch, SMOCKING TRAGEDY.—One of those dreattnil occur rences, at the very mention of whjoh the blood runs cold, arising from the use of intoxicating liquor, has taken place in Dublin. The unfortunate vietim to the furs' of a man mad with drink, named Jane Boland, resided in Loftus lane, near Capelestroet. It appeared that she was confined on Tuesday morning last of a dead child; and a wittte;3l l swore that she confessed her husband, when in a state of intoxication on Sunday, came into the i•oo n where she was lying; that he struck her with a stick several times across the belly, and pointed to a stick that was used for drying clothes out of the window; she added that immediately alter she was struck she was seized with severe vomiting and acute pain in the belly; that sht , , h;, , d felt the movements of the child Attune (lint@ly before that, but never felt it afterwards. The coro ner's jury returned the following verdict ;---k‘ We find that Jane Boland's death was caused by cAtensive peritoniO 4 , pro duced by blows inflicted oU her by her huebikud i ii9lAndi 7441 g #l6 6164 Qt Atoamticla, MARKET 1 , 4 EWS.-(YESTERDAY. CORN EXCHANGE. The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having been very moderate, the show of samples of that article here was small. Still, however, owing to the immense quantities o Foreign pressing on the market free of duty, the demand was exceedingly dull, at a decline in the quotations of quite is per quarter. Foreign Wheat commanded very little atten tion; yet, as the holders were tolerably firm, we can notice no alteration in value. In Barley very little was doing, at late rates. Superfine Malt was quite as dear. In other kinds very few sales were reported. Oats, Beans, and Peas, the supplies of which were large, met a very dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices.

The number of Sheep was tolerably extensive, yet the Mutton trade was very steady at extreme currencies. The same ob servation may be applied to Lambs, the general quality o which was good. In Calves a large business was done at an advance of 2d per 81bs. Pigs were dull at late rates. Mulch Cowes were selling slowly at from 161 to 191 each.

We had a steady general demand, and prices were well supported. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. From some parts of Kent our accounts respecting the bine are not quite so favourable as last week; but from Sussex and Farnham they are very cheering.
