Mr. Campbell brought up the further report of the Com pensation granted to reduced Officers in the service of the East India Company.—Laid on the table. HAMMERSMITH RAILWAY. Captain ALSAGER presented a petition from the in habitants of Battersea against this Bill. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. HARDY, this Bill was read a second time. THE BIRMINGHAM EQUITABLE GAS COM- PANY. Sir E. WILMOT presented a petition from Birming ham and its neighbourhood in favour of the Equitable Gas Company's Bill. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY presented a petition signed by 1,500 gas consumers of the town of Birming ham against the Bill. The Hon. Baronet also presented a petition from Duddestone to the same same effect, stat ing that it was his intention, on the second reading of the Bill, to take the sense of the House upon it. Mr. DUGDALE presented petitions in favour of the Bill. Mr. M. PHILLIPS presented petitions from Man chester against the Bill. Sir E. W I LDI OT moved the second reading of the Bill. Sir J. WROTTESLEY o pp ose d it. H e did so know ing full well that the House bad a strong prejudice in favor of going into a Committee, but he felt it incumbent upon him to state the grounds upon which he felt it his duty to oppose he second reading of the Bill. Originally in Bir mingham a Company had been formed for lighting that town. In 1825 another Company, called the Birmingham and Stafford Company, was incorporated by an Act of Parlia ment which passed in that year. The provisions of that Bill extended three or four miles into Staffordshire, and that Company at present lighted not only part of Birmingham, but three or four miles on the Staffordshire side of it. In the narrow streets of Bir mingham there were no less than three lines of pipe laid—those belonging to the two Gas Companies, and those of the Water Company ; and the inhabi tants of Birmingham, who presented the petition, stated the necessary consequence would be if three different Com panies existed at the same time, that the streets would be con stantly impeded from the repairs which the gas pipes occa sionally required. It would be recollected that some years ago there were several competing Companies in London for the,supplyof water—the result was that all those Companies joined in a combination for the purpose of increasing the charge for the supply of water, so that the public did not benefit much by the competition. That would be the case if the present Bill were allowed to pass. At present there was sufficient competition between the two Companies al ready established ; but if the House established a third Company, the three Companies would combine together for the 'purpose of raising the price, without which they could not remunerate themselves. He should therefore take the liberty of moving that the Bill - he read this day six months. Mr. M. PHILIPS had presented a petition from the shareholders of one of the Companies that had been incor porated, stating that the necessity for an increased sup ply- of gas had been done away with, by the improve ments and alterations of the existing Companies. He thought if the Bill had been much wanted, the Hon. Mem ber for Birmingham would not have been backward in coming forward to support the Hear, and a laugh.) The borough of Birmingham was better lighted, was better supplied with gas, than almost any other town ; and there was in reality no good reason for putting the inhabitants to the great inconvenience which they must suffer from the breaking up of the streets, which would necessarily be the result of the Bill then before the House passing into a law. The peti tioners who had done him the honour of entrusting him with their petition, had also taken into consideration the state of the money market, and they deprecated the esta blishing of this Company, as it would withdraw more money from circulation. Besides the profits of the two Companies now in existence had by no means been inordinate.— ( Hear, hear.) The one which had been first este t , blished had never divided more than 8 per cent.; while tie one established in 1825 had not paid more than six per cent. upon its capital—and that without any provision for a sinking fund. The new Company held out that they would divide the fourth part of the profits among their customers every four years, but that would prove a delusion. Bir mingham was already well supplied with gas, both as to quan tity and quality—therefore the House ought to have very good cause shown for putting the inhabitants of that town to the inconvenience of a complete stoppage of trade by the breaking up of the streets—the more especi ally also as the new Company did not pretend to say that they could produce gas of a better quality or at a lower price. He denied that there was now any monopoly in the supply of gas ; neither could there be much excitement in the borough, as the Members connected with it would have, been entrusted with the conduct of the Bill. For these reasons, he begged, to support the motion of the Hon. Bart. After a few words froni Mr. Wilks, Mr. Seliolfield, Sir E. Wilmot, and Mr. Baines, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place. The Bill was then read a second time. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSURANCE COMPANY. On the motion of Mr. WALL, this Bill was read a se cond time, and ordered to be committed. BRIXHAM HARBOUR. On the motion of Mr. PARKUR this Bill was read a se• mud time, and ordered to.be.eoMmitted. • • MANCHESTER AND STAFFORD RAILWAY. (Lord Morpeth) could not give an im m edi a t e answer to the question of the H on . -and Learned Sergeant. Mr. O'BRIEN wished to be informed by the Noble Lord, whether it. was the intention of the Government to extend to Ireland the provisions of the Imprisonment for Debt Bill ? Mr. Alderman► COPELAND presented a petition from Stafford against this Bill. MIDLAND COUNTIES' RAILWAY BILL. Sir JOHN BECKETT begged permiSsion of the House to bring before it a point of some importance as respected the presentation of petition* on railway. Bills.- , The ques tion arose out of the case of. the North Midland Counties Railway Company, who, having lost their Bill in the first instance before the Committee, had presented a new peti tion, and commenced proceedings de novo for a fresh Bill. He had taken the liberty of mentioning this chiefly with a view of hearing the opinion of the Right Hon. Gentleman in the chair on the point. He wished that it should be dis tinctly understood what was the proper course ; whether, for instance, every Company is entitled, after failing before the Committee on any particular point, to bring forward another petition ; and after failing again, then to present another, and so on, talcs qupties, or not. Mr. G IS BORNE moved that the order for referring the petitions against this Bill to the Committee be discharged. The SPEAKER said that the course contemplated in the motion of the Hon.. Member would, if established as a rule, be very unequal in its, operation, and therefore, he thought, could not meet the sanction of the House, who having laid down Standing Orders, ought not to dispense with those Orders, unless it could be shown that they were unadapted to the purposes for which they were originally destined. Lord MORPETH said there was no such intention. PUBLIC PETITIONS. The SPEAKER, in reply to a question put to him by Mr. Baines, gave notice that he would take Chair at three o'clock on Friday, in order to receive public petitions. . REGISTRATION OF VOTERS' BILL. Sir J. GRA HAM asked whether it was the intention of Government to move the committal of the Registration of Voters' Bill this evening ; and if not, whether they could fix the day on which that question would be brought forward ? After a few words from Mr. R. Palmer, Mr. Gisborne, Mr. Denison, and Mr. Baines, the House divided. Ayes Noes 114jority -104 POOR LAW AMENDMENT ACT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not his in tention to move the Committee on that Bill this evening. He was anxious, however, to proceed with the Bill as soon as possible, and would take the first favourable opportunity of bringing it on, of which he Would give the Right - Hon. Baronet his due. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES gave notice for the Hon. Member for Berkshire, that be would to-morrow move that the following gentlemen be added to the Select Com mittee appointed to inquire into the operation of the Poor law Amendment Act :—Major Beauclerk,•Mr. Freshfield, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Attwood, and Mr. Hindley. "IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. The ATTORNMGENERAL moved the Order of the Day for the House going into Committee on the Im prisonment for Debt Bill. POOR LAWS (IRELAND)- BILL. _ . . _ Mr. Sergeant JACKSON begged t,o ask the Noble Lord when he proposed to bring on the Irish Poor-law question ? Lord MORPETH was in hopes that ids Noble Friend (Lord John Russell) would have been in his place by this time, and if he had been, he would have made some ar rangement ; but as he was not at present in his place, he FEUDAL TENURES. Mr. AGLIONBY wished to ask the — Honourable and Learned Gentleman whether it was his intention to proceed with the Bills which he introduced last session—one was to assimilate the tenures of the country and relieve them from heriots, and the other related to feudal tenures. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that one of the Bills, 'that for conveying property by will, was already in progress. The Bill relating to heriots he should feel it his duty to bring forward. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. Sir W. FOLLETT had received a petition from the keeper of the debtor's gaol et Exeter, stating that the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, if passed, would deprive him of his present emoluments, and praying for compensa tion. He begged to ask the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman whether it was his intention to introduce any clause into the Bill to give compensation to those who might be entitled to it ? He believed there was no such clause in the Bill at present. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had been of opinion that with reference to particular cases there ought to be a compensation clause, but he found great difficulty in draw ing the line so as to exclude improper claims. He was . disposed to give comp ensa ti on t o th ose w h o h a d a f a i r claim to it, and he should be glad to have the assistance of his Learned Friend in drawing the proper line. Sir W. FOLLETT thought the petitioner stood exactly in the situation of the Marshal of the King's Bench and the Warden of the Fleet. Mr. M. PHILIPS requested the Honourable and Learned Gentleman to delay this Bill till after Easter, in order that the trading portion of the community might have the opportunity of considering it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Bill had now been for three years before the House. It had been al ready fully diseusSed, and he could assure his Hon. Friend that it was the same Bill which both he and his Hon. Friend had considered week after week in Committee two years ago. He was certain that if the Chamber of Com merce ot . Manchester had any very strong objections to this Bill, his Hon. Friend would have heard of them be fore that time. It was to be observed by his Hon. Friend and the House, that not a single petition had been pre sented against the Bill. Sir CHARLES BURRELL stated that at one time, when it was thought that the Bill would pass, he knew of many persons who put an additional five per cent. upon the articles they had to dispose of; and this for the purpose of meeting the losses which they were sure of incurring in consequence of such a Bill becoming the law of the land. Mr. RICHARDS was decidedly opposed to the prin ciples of the Bill. One of the evils which this Bill would do away with was arrests for fictitious debt. That he admitted was an evil, and most willingly would lie join in any Bill that could prevent such an evil ; but he denied that such would be the operation of this Bill. The real question for the House to consider was, whether the aboli tion of imprisonment for debt would not lead to great evils. In his opinion it must do so ; and this he felt bound to contend for, that creditors now were gene rally found to be exceedingly lenient.—(Hear, hear.) The Insolvent Debtors' Court, which purported to give relief to poor debtors not guilty of fraud, had gene rated a gigantic and frightful mass of evils. In that Court the dividends did not, on an, average, amount to three farthings in the pound. Was that, be asked, to be thought a boon to the creditors? It was such a boon as the pre sent Bill gave to them, and for which he humbly thanked the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. In his opinion there was no need for any further relaxation of the law of debtor and creditor, as by the present law the debtor might get out of prison after two months' imprisonment, unless fraud could be proved against him. He could not understand why the Attorney-General should come forward unasked, as it appeared to him, to give this boon to debtors. Were there any petitions from merchants, from bankers, from_ traders, calling for it ? If there were any he could not find them. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the Speaker leave the Chair this day six months.—(Laughter.) The gallery was then cleared for a division, when the numbers were— For going into Committee 95 For the amendment Majority 95 The House then resolved itself into a Committee. The various clauses of the Bill underwent considerable discussion. On the 24th clause being read, which empowers the plaintiff, on recovering judgment in certain cases, to issue a writ of capias ad satisfirciendunt, , The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved an amendment, in order to restrain the operation.of the clause to those per sons who were now subject to be arrested on the writ of capias ad satisfaciendant, thereby exempting persons who now enjoyed the privilege of Parliament from the operation - of this clause. Mr. JERVIS objected to the amendment. The exemp tion from arrest which members of Parliament at present enjoyed was bad in principle, and had long been matter of complaint. He knew that Mr. Baring, now Lord Ash burton, when a Member of the House of Commons, had contemplated introducing a measure to abolish this objec tionable privilege. If he stood alone, he would divide the Committee on the present amendment. Mr. G. F. YOUNG thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, while complaining that this amendment was an indirect mode of asserting a principle that was objection able, had overlooked the fact that by negativing the propo sition of the Attorney-General, he was taking an indirect mode of abolishing what had long been the practice of the House with respect to the privileges of its own Members. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL admitted that this was an important question ; but if privilege of Parliament was to remain as to all other matters, he thought it would be most absurd to introduce in this obiter way a clause which would abolish one of the privileges of Parliament, for that would he the effect, if the amendment of his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney-General were not agreed to. Mr. LYNCH thought that in a Bill of this kind the law of privilege of Parliament ought not to be interfered with. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, in a Bill of this sert he thought it would be most improper to invade the established principles with regard to the privileges of Par liament. his object in proposing the amendment was to, make this law conformable , as far as he c o uld, to the exist ing privileges of Parliament. Mr. RICHARDS was of opinion, that so far from ex empting Members of Parliament from arrest, they ought to be in a particular degree amenable to that law ; and he hoped the Hon, and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Jervis) would press the Committee to a division. 'Strangers were then ordered- to withdraw. After ten minutes had elapsed the galleries were again opened, and we found the debate still going on, and Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressing the Committee. He was understocd to object to the introduction of the words proposed by the Attorney-General as wholly unnecessary. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, assuming that the privilege of PaAiament should continue, the question was, whether these words were necessary ornot. It was quite clear to him that if the words were not. introduced, any Member of that House might be arrested under cir cumstances where his privilege ought to exempt him. Viscount S A NDON said it seeuked, from what had been said by the Hon. and Learned 'Sergeant, that the object of the amendment was to protect Members from arrest in cases where crime had been committed. He always thought the law to be, that where a Member of Parliament had been guilty of any criminal act, he was liable, like other persons, to be arrested, or taken into custody. •• Mr. TOOKE thought that it was unworthy of the House to avail themselves of such a privilege as was held out 'to them in the proviso proposed by the Attorney-General. He should be ashamed that the privilege of Parliament should be extended to persons, although Members of that House, who wished to cheat their creditors. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL should vote for the proviso of his Hon. and Learned Friend. He objected to getting rid of this part of the law of Parliament by a side wind. No person who had come into the House that evening expected that this discussion would arise. Mr. MARK PHILIPS should vote against. the Attor ney-General, but not on the ground that he proposed to extend the privilege of Parliament. Mr. PRY ME remarked that Hon. Members argued the question as if the privileges of Parliament were merely for the purpose of the Members themselves, instead of being for the advantage of their constituents and the public at large. Mr. FRESHFIELD should have thought that there could hardly have been a doubt on this subject. Surely it was not . to be argued that Members of Parliament were to be exempted from the operation of the law. At preSent • the property of Members of Parliament was liable to seizure for their debts, but not their persons. - This Bill gave greater power to follow property, and he protested against not extending the same power to the property of Members of Parliament as to other persons. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his only object was to make the law on the subject clear and uniform, and not in an indirect way to make an alteration in the privileges of Parliament. The Committee then divided— For the Attorney-General's Amendment 44 Against it Majority against it —7 The announcement of the numbers was received with cheers. On re-entering the Gallery, we found Mr. G. F. YOUNG addressing the House upon the next clause, but the Hon. Gentleman was interrupted by The CHAIRMAN, who intimated to the Committee that he was informed the tellers had male a mistake in giving in the numbers on the division which had just taken place.—(Hear, and laughter.) Mr. JERVIS understood the ayes were 54 instead of 44. Mr. ROLFE and Mr. C. FERGUSSON said that such was the case. The tellers then withdrew to compare the division lists, and upon their return stated that the— Ayes were 54 Noes 5l Majority for the amendment —3 The amendment was then agreed to. Mr. G. F. YOUNG strongly objected to the compul sion upon the debtor to declare every fact of his circum stances upon judgment beinr , entered against him. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the provi sion highly essential. Mr. FRESHFIELD thought the Insolvent Debtors' Court would be a much better one for carrying this measure into effect than the Court of Review. The Court of Bank ruptcy ought to be considered rather as an exclusive one, having relation only to traders ; whereas the Insolvent Debtors' Court was generally applicable to all persons who could not pay their debts. Mr. AGLIONBY considered that the Commissioners should be empowered to inflict some penalty or punishment on persons giving in a wilfully false schedule. Clauses up to 24 were agreed to. A conversation took place upon clause 25, when Mr. HUTT objected to the power of imprisonment placed in the hands of Commissioners of Requests. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the clause Against it Majority in favour of the clause —42 The other clauses were agreed to without amendment. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. HACKNEY CARRIAGES (METROPOLIS)BILL. Alderman W OOD moved the second reading of this Bill. Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the motion. Mr. BROTHERTON moved the adjournment of the debate. • Mr. H. HINDE hoped the House would allow the second reading of the Bill to take place. He hoped the Hon. Member for Salford would not persist in his motion for adjournment: Mr. WARBURTON hoped the motion for adjourn ment would be persisted in. The Gallery was then cleared for a division ; but there not being forty members present, the House immediately ad journed at a quarter to one o'clock. LOSS OF THE SHIP MEXICO. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (From a Correspondent of the New York Enquirer.) On reachico , Hempstead I concluded to go s o mewhat off the road to look b at the place where the ship Mexico was cast away. In half an hour we came to Lott's Tavern, sonic four or five miles this side of the beach: where the ship lay—and here, in its barn, had been deposited the bodies of the ill-fated passengers which had been thrown upon the shore. I went out to the barn. The doors were open ; and such a scene as presented itself to my view I certainly never could have contemplated. It was a dreadful—a frightful scene of horror. Forty or fifty bodies, of all ages and sexes, were lying pro miscuously before me, over the floor, all frozen, and as solid as'inarble—and• all, except a few, in the very dress in which they perished. Some with their hands clenched, as if for warmth, and almost every one with an arm crooked and bent, as it would be in clinging to the rigging. There were scattered about among the number four or five beautiful little girls, from six to sixteen years of age, their cheek and lips as red as roses, with their calm blue eyes open looking you in the face, as if they would speak. I could hardly realize that they were dead. I touched their cheeks, and they were frozen as hard as a solid' rock, and not the least indention could be made by any pressure of the hand. I could perceive a resemblance to each other, and supposed them to be the daughters of a passenger named' Pepper, who perished, together with his wife and all the family. On the arms of some were to be seen the impression of the rope which they had clung to—the mark of the twist deeply sunk into the flesh. I saw one poor negro sailor, a tall man, with his head thrown back, his lips parted, and his now sight less eyeballs turned upwards, and his arms crossed over his breast, as if imploring heaven _for aid. This poor fellow evidently had frozen while in the act of fervent prayer. One female had a rope tied to her leg, which had bound her to the rigging ; and another little fellow had been crying, and thus frozen, with the muscles of the face just as we see children .when crying. There was a brother and sister dashed upon the beach, locked in each other's arms ; but they had been sepa rated in the barn. All the men had their lips firmly com pressed together, and with the most agonising expression on their countenance; Lever beheld. A little girl had raised herself on tiptoe, and thus was frozen just in that position. It was au .ay,•ful sight, and such a picture of horror was before me that I became unconsciously flied to the spot, and found myself trying to suppress my or dinary breathing, lest I should disturb the repose of those around me. I was aroused from the reverie by the entrance of a man—a coroner. As I was about to leave, my attention ,became directed to a girl, who I afterwards learned, hid come that morning from the city to search for her'sister. She had sent for her to come over from England, and had received intelligence that she was in this ship. She came into the barn, and the second body she cast her eyes upon was hers. She gave way to such a burst or impassioned grief and anguish that I could not behold her without sharing in her feelings. She threw herself upon the cold and icy face and neck of the lifeless body, and thus, with her arms around her, remained wailing, moaning, and sobbing, till I came away ; and when some distance off, I could hear her calling her by name in the most frantic manner. So little time, it appears, had they to prepare for their fate, that I perceived a bunch of keys and a half-eaten cake fall from the bosom of a girl whom the coroner was removing. The cake appeared as if part of it had just been bitten, and hastily thrust into her bosom, and round her neck WPS a ribbon, ith a pair of scissors suspended. And to observe the stout rugged sailors, too, whose iron frames could endure so much hardship, here they lay—masses of ice. Such scenes show us, indeed, how powerless and feeble are all human efforts, when contending against the storms and tempests which sweep with resistless violence over the face of the deep. And yet the vessel was so near the shore, that the shrieks and moans of the poor creatures were heard through that bitter, dreadful night, till, towards morn ing, the last groan died away, and all w as hushed in death, and the murmur of the raging billows was all the sound that then met the ear. After the storm, the wreck was approached, and here and there were seen columns, pillars of ice, which was formed un the frozen bodies, as the sea broke over them. ST.

Yesterday a man named Joe Jarvis, servant to Mcssm Cousins and Kemp, tea dealers, was brought before the Lonti MAYOR, in consequence of the death of a seaman's widow of the name of Griffiths. The circumstances, as detailed by po liceman Colwell, No. 46, bad a powerful effect upon the feel ings of all present. Colwell, at about four o'clock on the preceding day, as be was on duty in Walbrook, saw a horse and cart coming down Walbrook loaded. The prisoner was in the cart, and was driving with proper reins, and the horse was in a walking pace. The chain back band, however, having got loose, the animal began to kick violently, and immediately afterwards, notwithstanding the • utmost exertions of the prisoner, gal loped at full speed down Dowgate-hill. The 'miscue'. fail. ing in his attempt to check it, called out to the people to get out of the war. At that moment, a f ema le, named Griffiths was standing at the corner of Dowgate-dock, in Thames-street, with a child in her arms. When she saw the horse and cart approach she did not attempt •to run, but drew herself up close to the wall, evidently with the principal view of saving her infant. The ofd shaft of the cart in an instant passed through the poor creature's body, just aove the hips, and then broke down a fourteen-inch wall, and time horse's head and neck dashed through a counting-house window. The child was providentially saved, and the poor sufferer, in her most dreadful agony, pressed it more closely to her Losom. Even when another ofEeer was pulling her off the shaft, she held the infant firmly, as if the feelings of the mother extin guished all apprehension or care about herself. She was car ried to Guy's Hospital, where she expired a few minutes before seven o'clock. She never for a moment was insensible to her condition, but knew that she was dying, and bewailed her separation from her six children in the most heart-rending lamentations. The LORD MAvon—Did the driver do all in his power to prevent the horse from running do‘fn the hill ? Colwell—Everything. Ho made every effort to turn the horse's head, but it was going full speed, and with a weight of upwards of 1,800 cwt. William Griffiths, a boy nearly 15 years of age. the eldest child of the deceased, stated that his mother was going, at the time the accident happened, to Cotton's Wharf, in Tooley street, to meet a younger son, whom she expected from sea, and had not seen for a considerable time. Witness's father had died' about ten months ago, and the deceased had a pen sion from the Trinity House and another from the Seaman's Friend Society, he believed, for the support of the children. He could not say whether the pensions died with her. Her residence was No. 2, Cross -street, St. George's-in-the-East, and he believed that she had occasionally relief from the parish. The LORD Msloa--4t is necessary that somethin. , should be done for these poor helpless orphans, deprived as they have been of their only protector by so dreadful a calamity and under such afflicting- circumstances. A gentleman named Anderdon, who is, we believe, a Go vernor of the Foundling Hospital, stated to the Lord Mayor that he should exert himself to obtain admission for the poor widow's infant to the Foundling Hospital. The prisoner was remanded until the verdict of the Coroner's Inquest shall have been given, and the Lord Mayor more than once alluded to the culpable want of caution in harnessing the horse. An inquest was held last evening on the body of the unfor tunate widow, Mrs. Gr:fliths, when, after hearing evidence to the same effect as that above detailed, the Jury returned their verdict—" Accidental Death." HATTON GARDEN. Mrs. Newman, and her daughter, Miss Julia St. Claire New man, were yesterday brought before Mr. LAING for further ex amination. Mrs. Ileathcote was the wife of the Rev. Mr. lleathuate, of Lincolnshire. She was in lodgings with her husband, at 32, Alsop-terrace, Regent's Park, and at the time the lirlsoners occupied apartments in the same house, and dining tiv'ir ab sence they were robbed of a quantity of jewellery. Mr. William Codd, the landlord of the house, on the morn ing after the robbery, was committed saw Mrs. Newman go out with something under her cloak at an early hour. Mr. LAING—How long was it after the articles were missing that you saw her leaving the house? Witness—it was five o'clock in the morning when the alarm was made. „Miss Newman said that she could no longer live in the house, and I followed them to the house of Dr. Baxter, No. I, ht the New-road. I spoke to her, and she said she could not live in the house after such a disagreeable circumstance. Mr..LAING—Did both the prisoners give the same reason ?. Witness—No ; only Miss Newman. Mr. Robinson, a pawnbrok er , of No. 32, Comore-street,- Clerkenwell, prod uce d a pa i r of valuable gold earrings, which were identified by Mrs. llcatheote, and were pledged in the mono of Julia Newman. Lucy Hallett proved ihat she was sent by the younger pri soner to pledge the articles. George Wier, 38 G, proved having found the duplicate of the property in a desk with Miss NeWman's name written upon it. The prisoners, by the advice of their Solicitors, reserved their defence, and they were. fully committed for trial on five distinct charges of robbery. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Jonathan Snoxall, a cordwainer of small dimensions, but looking as fierce as if he drank nothing but " gunpowder" tea, charged a yellow-visaged personage, assuming the eupho nious appellation of Alfred Sinclair, with an assault. On Wednesday evening., your Worship, said Mr. Snoxall, at half-past nine precisely, I was in the back kitchen, sitting in my elbow chair, ready lathered for shaving, when i heard. somebody sing out at the top of the stairs, " Snoxall„ Snoxall, where is Snoxall ?" Without a moment's delay, I ran up stairs just as I was, with my handkerchief in one band, my coat and waistcoat in the other, and my shirt collar un buttoned, to demand the reason of the noise, when the firSt thing I saw in the passage was this person, standing with ono leg on the banisters and - the other on the kitchen stairs. He, hollows out, " I say, Snoxall, you ugly little rascal, how dare you say anythhig against the character of any lady I'm ac quainted with ?" Before 1 could answer, he knocked me down plump on my back. My wife, hearing the noise, ran with the youngest bide in her arms to my asssistance, but she was pushed down instantly. Another of my children, three years and nine months old, on coming forward, shared the same fate.' When I looked about and saw the situation, of matters—me down, my wife lying on her back on the d.oor mat ; one child screaming on the one side and another 0 , .t the . other—my feelings—my better feelings as a man—.were roused; and I jumped up and pitched into this man, until the police' came. - I have .two witnesses, my wife and Bob Buckeridge, who will prove the truth Of my story. MAmsr naTE—We cannot !tear your wile. Complairtant-'-:-; Then we'll call Bob Buckeridge, the coalman. Bub Buckeridge, thus summoned, came forward, and pre sented as comical a collection of features to the Bench as could be well imagined. MAGISTRATE—Now, Mr. Buckeridge, tell us %/hat your know about this assault. Bob—l carried a hundred of coals to this here good gem— man's house, and the good gemman axed one of us if I'd gg)t change for ever a suffrin. " No, Sir, I—l arn't, but that's mo matter, cause you send the gal with the two bob to master's.." Ven I got up stairs t'other gemman comes with a candle, 'and axes me vox Snoxall had b een a say i ng a b out hi s l a d y. I !a id he hadn't discoursed on nuilin, and he said I vos a lying wag:- gabone, and shoves me a von side. Arter he'd done for: roe, he hollers up for Snoxall, and van Snoxall came do , ,vn he vollops and bangs him about the passaKe just as if he vos a hold pair of boots. Defendant (affectedly) —My gotad fello-ah, reeollect-ah„ Snoxall had the poker. Bob—Didn't never S2C Snosall with no sitch veepin. Defendant—The 1 . - .lstory of th.is little affair is simply this I heard a lady's.cllaracter traduced, and as I have a great rei prd. that is, in ;act, she resides under my protection, I felt bound, in honour, to chastise the calumniator. MAGISTRATR—Pray, what are you ?—Defendant —I aux a traveller to, a tobacconist. 'Nlag;strate—What were the words you heard? riefendant },card him tell the coalman that the lady hadn' c paid for the last peck of coals. It waS my duty, as a man and a gentleman, to resent that insinuation. The Bench were of opinion the skssatllt was of a gross cha racter, and inflicted a fine in consequence s .;/. and costs.

A great misfortune has taken place at Antwerp. During the storm of the 24th, the dike of Burgh .gave- way. and all the adjacent country is under water. The inundation extends to the Tete de Flanders, and the causewa3 that leads to Ghent. Several persons lost their lives, and w a3y houses were so suddenly filled with water, that the inhati •Itants were obliged take refuge on the roofs,
