Several petitions were presented, praying for protec tion•to agrioultetre, from Melton, Seacombe, and sevefal other Paces. Lord Idc.:TEAdLZ moved for_ certain returns with t o anion, which was agreed to. respect to local The Loap'CrrANcELLort laid on their Lordships' table a Bill to relieve her Majesty's subjects from certain dis abilities with regard to religious opinions, which, after a short discussion, was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time. Their Lordships then adjourned. The House sat at Four o'clock. Mr. M O S TYN , f o r Li c hfi e ld, Mr. STUART, .or Newark, and .M r . SP ENCER WALroLE, for Midhurst, took the oaths and their seats. Several petitions wore presented for railway Bills. A new writ was ordered for Chichester, in the room of Lord ARTHUR Lziiivox, who had accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Sir R.P . ,EEL, adverting t o t h e alterations he proposed t o make in the tariff, observed with respect to timber, that they proposed to make ultimately a reduction in the differential duties upon foreign timber, so that thc duty should rentip, After the reduction had been made, at 15 instead of the present amount. On hewn timber the duty was at present 255., and it was proposed to reduce it to 15s. With regard however to timber from the Baltic, it was not intended that the reduction should be immediate, but that it should commence on the sth of April, 1847; that on that day the reduction should be 55., and on that day twelvemonth a further reduction of ss. should take place. It was intended to reduce the duty on sawn timber 6s. on the sth of April, 1847, and 6s. on the sth of April, 1848; and with respect to small timber a pro portionate reduction would be made, but whether that should take place immediately was subject for future consideration. Mr. ELPIIINSTONE moved for a return of the incomes during the years 1814 and 1845 of the archbishops and bishops of England and Wales, stating by how much the income of each bishop is greater or less than the in comes proposed in the preamble of the Act 6 and 7 WILLIAM IV., cap. 77. Mr. CoLLETT thought That the bishops sitting in the House of Lords was the concentrated essence of all that was objectionable and bad. The motion was then agreed O. Mr. WODEHOUSE moved for certain returns with respect to local taxation, which were agreed to. Sir CHARLES NAPIER obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to the civil depart ment of the navy. Sir J. GRAUAM, in answer to a question from Sir W. JOLLIFFE, said it was not the intention of the Govern ment to bring in a Bill with re3pcct to the consolidation of turnpike trusts in England and Wales during the present session. Mr. EWART, at the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM, postponed his motion with respect to Van Diemen's Land, which stood for Thursday, to a future day. Mr. WODEUOUSE moved for a copy of the warrant, or other document of authority, by which IL S. CHA.PMAN, Esq., Assistant-Commissioner under the commission appointed to inquire into the condition of hand-loom weavers, and acting in that capacity in the West Ridirg of Yorkshire in 1838, and was afterwards appointed Chief Judge of the Supreme Court at Willington, in New Zealand, in 1843, and for other papers connected with that subject.—Ordered. Mr. MILES wished to know whether Lord ASHLEY had accepted any office under the Crown, as he under stood he had resigned his seat. Sir R. PEEL said the Noble Lord had, he had: ac cepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. MILES observed, that if such was the case he should move for a new writ fur Dorsetshire. Sir R. PEEL said the llon. Member could not do that until certain forms had been gone through. The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question, said that it was the intention of the Lord Chancellor, on an early day, to bring in a Bill with respect to Charitable Trusts, The House then adjourned. The accounts from the United States, brought by the last packet, though not so hostile and offensive in their character as those previously received, aro still, we regret to say, by no means satisfactory. Many impor tant questions had been brought forward in both Houses of Congress, lengthened discussions had fol lowed, and several divisions also had taken place, but these divisions decided nothing. All the main points at issue between England and America remain un settled, and - the best news we can communicate simply is, that Members are taking time to consider, as well as to obtain additional information from Europe. This shows some sense of propriety, and a wish to deliberate maturely before involving the country in any hazardous or rash undertakings. We rejoice that such a disposition prevails, because it leaves time for reflection ; it enables the country to weigh the propositions laid before Congress, and to balance the advantages and disadvan tages which may be the consequence of a contest with Great Britain. We cordially hope that the peace party will be listened to, and that such able and good men as WEBSTER and CALHOUN, and ethers who adopt their policy, and are desirous of the real interest and glory of their country, will in time stop the rage for new acqui. sitions, and re-establish the great principles of the con stitution so strongly inculcated by WASHINGTON. But, judging from the votes taken hitherto in Congress, we look upon this as a task of no ordinary difficulty. The control of the Executive, and even of their national assembly over the people, is extremely limited. Each state is disposed to judge and act for itself, the people scarcely recognise any legitimate authority, and all those living on the borders of independent districts more rich than their own, are not scrupulous as to what to covet, and what they covet they generally make their own, unless re strained by powerful neighbours. Texas was acquired solely because Mexico could not defend her own pro perty; California, unless the invasion be checked by the interference of European powers, will share tho same fate ; and Canada would be added to the list but for the determined spirit of its bravo inha bitants, and the powerful protection of the mother coun try. It is easily to be seen, therefore, why such anxiety is manifested to get rid of European interference, to debar England and France, and every other power in every other quarter of the globe, except America, from either forming settlements or adopting measures for their own security, by maintaining a balance of power among the different independent states. This pretension, though apparently disowned by Mr. CALHOUN, is evi dently a great favourite with him, and he rejects its im mediate adoption, siniply because the time for action is not yet come, the " pear is not ripe," America is not able to contend with Europe ; but when her strength is consolidated, when she has reached the age of maturity, and can act boldly, then is the moment to set all the meddling European powers at defiance. But even this advocate of peace claims control at present over other states in the New World than those of the north, and scruples not to use most violent language towards the SOVEREIGNS of Great Britain and France for protecting the property and lives of their subjects against the violence of Rosns. That we may not be charged with imputing to him principles which he does not profess, it may be proper to give his own words both respecting our interference in the River Plata, and the reasons why he could not agree to tho motion of Mr. ALLEN. That Member proposed that Congress should solemnly declare to the civilised world the unalterable resolution of tho United States to enforce the principle, that any effort of the Powers of Europe to intermeddle in the social organisa tion or political arrangements of the independent na tions of America, or establish new colonies, would incur the prompt resistance of the United States. " These resolutions," said Mr. CALHOUN, " em braced a principle of action which called for most solemn declarations on the part of the Senate. It afforded matter for consideration how far this resolution could bo efficiently acted upon, if adopted. No man could view with stronger feelings of opposition all im pertinent-interference of the Powers of Europe in the affairs of this continent than himself. And he would now take occasion to say, that the late extraordinary interference of Great Britain and Fiance in the political domestic relations of Buenos Ayres, was an outrage unprecedented in its cha racter. But the 'great question here suggested was, were they now prepared to take this whole continent under their protection? Had they reached that state of maturity to admit of this wide and exclusive guardian ship? Were they prepared to take all the consequences that must grow out of the assumption of such a po licy as was there indicated? If they were deter mined to take the course indicated by the resolutions, if they indicated anything, they might as well at once call into action the whole energies of the country. They wanted time." This is plain speaking, and neither England nor France can fail to see that the principle is to be the guiding star of the people, as soon as they are able to defend themselves. Even the outrageous resolu tions of Mr. ALLEN, as far as we can judge, from the mode in which the Senate records its votes, were not de cidedly rejected, for "the notice of introduction" was laid on the table, and the temporary defeat, if defeat it can be called, was obtained by a majority of only five, there being 23 for their immediate adoption, and 28 against it. The motion on the Oregon question, for an nouncing to Great Britain that the joint occupation shall cease in twelve months, was also simply post poned; so that, in fact, matters remain exactly as they were at the commencement of the session. We deplore these circumstances, though from the first our expecta tions of a peaceable settlement of the differences were not sanguine, and we deplore them the more, because all parties insist on demands which Great Britain never can accede to. The difference between them is only as to the time for action. higher than it was at the end of 1842. Not a single acre of land has been thrown out of cultivation in Eng land in consequence of this increase of importation; not a grain less of corn of any description has been grown in Great Britain, and but for the Cus tom-house returns, the agriculturists of Great Britain would never have been aware that any grain at all had been imported from Ireland. Now, when some century ago it was proposed to admit Irish agricultural produce duty free, the proposition was met by the protectionists of that day with the same unmeaning clamour with which the pro positions of Sir ROBERT PEEL have been met in this. Then, as now, the great bucolic mind saw ruin in plenty, and the Dukes of GEORGE 11., like those of VICTORIA, fancied that they themselves could not live, unless they starved every one else. We all remember the howl of despair that was set up at the time of the passing of the Canada Corn Bill. For two years that Bill has been in operation— for two years Canadian flour has been permitted to enter the British market, and now the price of flour is actually higher than it was before the Bill passed. That similar results will follow [rem the carrying out the plan pro posed by Sir ROBERT PEEL we see no reason to doubt, and however paradoxical it may appear, we verily believe that the farmer will get a batter price for his wheat under a free-trade system, than ho can under a system of protection. This seeming paradox, however, is easily explained. The area of England does not, and cannot, grow wheat sufficient for the support of its population, and the con sequence is, that to quote the words of a great clerical protectionist, " Some millions rejoice in pota toes." These millions are potato-eaters, because there is not enough corn grown in the country to en able them to eat bread. Admit foreign corn, and these millions immediately become bread-eaters. The supply of bread in England has never yet been equal to the demand ; and it is only when the supply is greater than the demand (and all the surplus corn at present in Europe and America, if poured into our markets at once, could not create a glut)—.it is, we repeat, only when the supply is greater than the demand that there can be such a fall of price as can be detri mental to the agriculturists. As a proof that such an event is not likely ever to take place, we will only allude to the cry of over-population so constantly raised by the landed protectionists, and to the schemes of emigration which they propose as its remedy, Now what is the meaning of over-population— it means under-feeding: there are too many mouths for the supply of food, and our protectionists instead of adopting the easy, simple, and economical remedy of bringing the food to the mouths, choose rather to send the mouths to the food, from some vague and false notion which they entertain, that as producers of food their in terests are at variance with those of the community. Yesterday monopoly stood forth upon the hustings of Lewes, in all the triumph of harlcquinade, in all the pomp of ridicule, in all the rich and lavish luxury of self-eulogium. Mr. DARBY, the late representative, was not present, and he was apotheosised by a Mr. ELLPIAN: Mr. FREWEN was present, and he was declared to be duly elected, at the nomination of the neighbouring pro tectionists. To say that the multitude of non-electors in front of the hustings had decidedly the best of the ar gument throughout ; to say that they interspersed the proceedings with running commentaries at once pithy and intolerably true ; to say that the principal orator was chiefly remarkable for his mixture of threats, and entreaties, and doggrel attempts at facetiousness, is to say everything that can be said of the character of the recent return of an anti- Ministerial Member for East Sussex. Wonderful was the dogged and leaden-headed perseverance of the agri cultural party in braving .the jeers of their auditory ; wonderful were their expressions of indignation at what they appeared to regard as the turpitude ,of the Pre mier; but doubly wonderful was their assumption of confidence in the stability of their very composite protection-fabric—at the very moment the earthquake of Free Trade was 'rumbling under its foundations, at the very moment when its component parts were dropping piecemeal to the ground. When feelings of astonishment were muttered among the parties present at what seemed exceedingly like indolence on the part of the League, Mr. SnELEY, an avowed abolitionist, steps forward with a few sentences of explanation. This ex planation was absolutely summed up in the very significant remark, that " his hearers were doubtless aware that it was probable there would shortly be a general election ;" but, in case the deduction might not be sufficiently obvious, he de clared his intention of then " trying his chance." To dilate upon the species of rhetoric employed by the agricultural gentlemen would be tantamount to a ninety-ninth encore; the same materials having been called again into requisition, which have now been shuttle-cocked all through the anti repeal forces. The successful candidate on the termination of the regular details appeared (to revive an obsolete but ex pressive phrase) little better than mumchance ; in this he acted with temporary prudence; his behaviour in that respect is worthy of more general imitation. We understand that the Select Committee on Rail. ways are not likely to present any report till next week. In the meantime a number of railway Bills have gone to-day before the Committees on Petitions for Private Bills, and it is to be presumed that no interference will now take place with the usual course of proceeding with railway Bills. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received, but we find no news in them. Accounts from Barcelona of the 26th, and said to be official, announce that only the ringleader of the insurgents made prisoners, who took up arms in the " Ampurdan," will be shot at Ge rona, the remaining nineteen being condemned to the galleys. The Spanish Funds continued firm. On the 27th the Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse at 33i cash and 3311. at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 23i at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Peer:;, on Monday, M. REMUSAT brought forward his amendment, which was founded on the sixth paragraph of the Address, relative to the friendly relations between Franco and England, and moved that the following words be added:—" But in order that these relations be consolidated, it is neces sary that the two Governments, while acting in concert in the circumstances in which their interests are com mon, guard with care in the two worlds the full inde pendence of their political action." In urging his amend ment, M. RNMUSAT argued that France acted subordi nately to England with regard to her policy towards the United States, that such conduct was contrary to the policy hitherto adopted by France, and in opposition to her real interests. He believed war would not break out, but still he thought France should declare that she would remain totallyindependent, so as to choose anycourse that might be advisable. M. GuazoT said he perfectly agreed with the proposition, that a great nation should retain its independence ; but there wa;, he considered, something beyond the expression of that idea in the proposed amendment. It contained a reproach against the Ministry—an expression of mistrust, and he should therefore move its rejection. M. TRIERS, who we believe is the mainspring of all these amendments, then addressed the Chamber, and maintained that the Go vernment had adopted a mischievous policy by inter fering at all in the affairs of Texas. It was done solely to please England, and the affairs of the Government altogether were not conducted on any principles of good sense. M. GUIZOT briefly replied, and said ho could not admit the Hon. Member to be a monopolist of all the good sense in the country. The Chamber then divided, when there were— For the amendment Against it Majority for Ministers There was, yesterday, laid on the table of the a return, showing the quantities of wheat, barley, Houseaed oats, imported into Grea t Bri ta i n f rom Ireland during the years 1842, 1843, 1844, 1845. The number of quarters of wheat imported in 1842 was 112,195, and this quantity had gone on increasing year by year, until in 1845 it amounted to 372,719. The import of barley had increased from 50,287 quarters, in 1842, to 93,095, in 1845, and that of oats, from 1,274,326 quarters, in 1842, to 1,679,958 quarters, in 1845. Now, what has been the effect of this gradually increased importation upon the English grain market ? Has it brought down the price of corn ? On the con-I trary,.the price of corn at the end of 1845, after this =reused importation had taken place, was We are glad to find that one of the Opposition journals, usually hostile towards England, has acted an indepen dent part with regard to the repeated amendments pro posed by several Members of the Right and Left. The Courricr Francais regard tho outbreaks of M. BERRYER as " an instance alike of bad taste and bad policy, and asks whether it was becoming to launch out into philippics against England at the moment when news had arrived of those admirable financial reforms, which, if adopted, will double the sale of French produce in England. Was it becoming in a leader of the Legitiraatist party, which when lost was raised again into life by England, to make this furious attack uponthe English ?" The Journal des Debuts says :—"The Commission ap pointed to revise the budget for 1847 is actively em ployed with that work. As compared with later years, the budget presents no essential difference. Like them, it is much more considerable than what we were accus tomed to see eighteen or twenty years ago. This aug. mentation has principally arisen from the increase in the budgets for Public Works and Public Instruction, and in that of the War Department, which may bo accounted for by the war in Africa. The budget of 1830 was 973,000,000 f., 187,000,000 f. of which was for the War Department, and 34,000,000 f, for Public Works. At present, the total amount demanded fcr the budget is, we believe, 1,335,000,0001., the amount for defraying the expenses of the War Department being 325,000,000 f., and that for the Public Works 152,000,0001. The War budget has not quite doubled, that of Public Works more than quadrupled, and that . of Public Instruction, a l t h ough of an amonnt much inferior to the two previous depart ments, has incressed five-fold.

"Abel-el-Kader, pursued to the south-west of the Ouarrn senis by Marshal Bugeaud, and then by the columns of Generals Lamoriciere and Jussuff, is said to have made a detour, and an attack in the east towards Goudjila. It is also said that he has made a razzia on the Rahmans, only a few leagues from the columns of General Marcy, and after wards retired in a direction which has not been discovered. There is every reason to believe that he has moved towards the south, where, during the winter, he will find provisions and gain partisars. Ben Salem has roused himself into ac tion again. He has quitted the Jurjura, and, with a small troop, has advanced five or six leagues to the south of Fort Ilaniza, where, it is said, lie has made a razzia on some of the isolated douars of the Auled Dris, but the tribes which remain faithful to us have assembled, made an, attack upon him in return, and retaken a great part of his booty." A letter from Algiers, of Jan. 23, in the Sertinelle de Toulon, states that amongst the number of persons who were brought in a frozen state to the ho:pital of Setif, from the 4th to .the 7th tilt., there were eighteen officers, several of whom had to undergo ampatation of both legs.

The effect of the anticipated repeal of the corn-laws upon the American markets is explained in the following extract from papers received this morning, to as late a date as the 17th ult. "The news is of the greatest importance. The modifica tion or repeal of the corn-laws of Great Britain will, without doubt, take place immediately after the meeting of Parlia ment. The London Times of December 10th, repea's its assertions, made on the 4th, but with qualifications that take away a great deal of their important character and strengh. The effect of this announcement upon the various markets was very great, and had put a stop to all transactions of importance. The money and corn markets continued very tranquil, and will doubtless remain so until Parliament meet and these questions are settled. There was some activity in the cotton market, and prices were firm, the sales being mostly to the trade. " The effect of this news upon the markets of this country cannot be otherwise than favourable. Prices of flour and grain will particularly feel the influence of such accounts, as a repeal of the corn-laws would create a very extensive demand for these articles, and create large speculative ship ments. "The accounts by the steamship of the 4th instant from Liverpool, now nearly due, will be more anxiously looked for now than previous to this arrival. Business here will be in a great degree suspended until the steamer arrives, as the greatest excitement prevailed this evening, throughout the city, soon after our extra was issued." The intention of the English Government to reduce the duty on Tallow, causes purchases for immediate consumption to be deferred, and about two-thirds of the stock is in bond. In the meantime the whole of the duty paid stock will be taken for consumption, as the trade are not at all in stock, and consequently will not be losers by the reduction. There has been a rally in the value of the English Stocks of about 1 ,4 per cent. consequent on the favourable intelli gence from New York. Consols are 94'A to 95 1 / for Money, and 95 1 ,4 to 95% for Account. Exchequer-bills have run up to 325. and 355. premium. Bank Stock has risen to 207 and 208, and East India Stock to 255 1 and 257%. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 97 3 / 4 to 98k. Every thing looks buoyant, In Foreign Stocks there is scarcely anything doing. Spa nish Five per Cents. are steady at 28, and the Three per Cents. have touched 3876. Brazilian Bonds are 82%. Dutch Four per Cents. are 94 1 4 to 3 / 4 . Shares to a partial extent have felt the favourable effect of the advance in Stocks. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHAN GTE (WEDNESDAY). The arrivals of Wheat of home'croduce up to our market this week having been on a very limited scale, the stands this morning were extremely bare of both red and white. The attendance of buyers—many of whom were very short of stock—being somewhat on the increase, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was steady, and Monday's ad vanced rates were firmly supported. Free foreign Wheat was quite as dear, with a firm inquiry. Corn under lock was held at somewhat higher figures. The amount of limi ness, however, actually transacted in it was small. We bad a large quantity of Barley on offer. Selected quali ties of Malting produced full currencies; but grinding and distilling sorts had a downward tendency: The Malt trade was dull, yet we can notice no alteration in value. Oats, Beans, Peas and Flour, were in short supply, and sluggish inquiry, at fast week's prices. , ARRIVALS. Wheat. I Barley. 2,710 qrs. 8,430 qrs. English • • • • • • Irish Foreign ......

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS !DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy ',Council sat to-day at the Council Office, Whitehall. The Lords present were, the Lord:President (the Dukg of Buccieuch), Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, Lord Campbell, and the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. Their Lordships, after disposing of several motions and petitions, proceeded to bear appeals from the Ecclesiastical Court. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) BOHN V. BOHN.—LORENZO DE MEDICL An application to restrain the defendant from publishing the works of "Lorenzo de Medici," was specially appointed to be heard to-day, but in consequence of the absence of Mr. Bethel], who was engaged in the Privy Council, upon his Honour taking his seat, it was arranged that the motion should not be proceeded with before Wednesday next, which is the first seal after term. BRADBURY V. MARRIOTT.-THE DAILY SEWS NRIVPSPAPER. The motion in this case, which was for an injunction to re strain the defendant from publishing a daily paper, at a price of 2id., to be called the Daily Newt, was also postponed to Wednesday; Mr. Rolt, on behalf of the defendant, Marriott, undertaking not to do anything in the meantime. DT TIIE MATTER OF THE DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. KENYON PARK ER applied to the Court in this matter, that a sum of 219,450/., which had been paid into the name of the Accountant-General of the Court by the Direct London and Manchester Railway Company, might be had out, 120,000/. in Consols, and 99,000/. in Exchequer-bills. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the Learned Counsel had better take the order that the whole sum should be laid out, and then the parties might agree among themselves how it should be done ; because if the course proposed was adopted the price of Exchequer-bills might so increase as to make it impossible to carry out the order. Mr. K. PARKER at once acceded to the suggestion of the Learned Judge, and the order was directed to be drawn up in accordance with it. EXPARTE THE BARNSTAPLE AND TAW VALE RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. KENYON PARKER, the sum of 40,0001., paid into Court by this railway company, was directed to be laid out. IN THE MATTER OF THE WAVENEY VALLEY AND GREAT YARMOUTH RAILWAY. On the motion of the same Learned Counsel, the sum of 32,0001., paid into Court by this company, Was ordered to be laid out. TIIE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF LOUTI! V. TILE WARDENS OF THE FREE SCHOOL OF LOUTH. The remainder of the day was occupied with the further arguments in this case, which have already occupied five days. In consequence of the House of Lords sitting to hear appeals to-morrow, it was arranged that at the conclusion of the arguments to-day they should be resumed on Saturday, and that his Honour should sit for that purpose. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Common Jury.) MOIILER V. BLOUNT. This was an action to recover damages from the defendant on the ground of his having maliciously spread a report en tirely without foundation, accusing the defendant of an un natural offence. The evidence went to show that the state ment was made wantonly and without the least justification, and the jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages, 201. STOCKER V. GRIFFITI!S.-ALLEGED ILLEGAL DISTRAINT. This was an action of trespass, arising out of the defen dant having obtained a warrant of distress in the Palace Court against the plaintiff, and in virtue of it having made a seizure of goods on the premises of the plaintiff; under the impression that the furniture in question was his proper. The defendant in the Palace Court action was Mr. Stocker, senior, and the goods were seized as his, for a debt, and the expences of the action ; but now Mr. Stocker, jun., instituted the present proceedings, on the allegation that the father in 1844, about a year before the seizure, conveyed the goods by a deed to him, and that the seizure was in consequence illegal. The whole point therefore at issue was to whom the goods be longed. Evidence was called to show the execution of the deed; in opposition to which it was contended, and to some extent supported by cross-examination and counter evidence, that the transfer was made from improper motives, and that no money passed between the parties. The answer to the latter point, however, was, that a debt of 98!. was standing between the parties, and the goods were assigned as a consideration for it. At the close of the examination the jury retired, and, after an hour's absence, returned a verdict for the.plaintiff— Damages, 141. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. CommEssioner Ewa.) irr RE WALKER. This bankrupt, who had carried on business in Oxford street as a boot-maker, came up to pass his last examination, and was opposed on the ground that his balance-sheet was not prepared. On the part of the defendant it was alleged that the bank rupt had been unable to do so in consequence of the official assignee having refused - to allow him to have access to cer tain books which had been seized by the messenger of the Court. Mr. Johnson (the official assignee) said that the bankrupt denied that the books he required to see were his own. The bankrupt's solicitor said that in reality they were not, but they were books kept in business by his sons. The official assignee had threatened to have the bankrupt pro secuted for mutilating his books, .and he was therefore anxious to get an order of the Court to inspect the books he had mentioned. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that if the bankrupt would swear that they were his books, he was entitled to see them. The attorney said !that the defendant could not do so, but, nevertheless, an inspection of them was necessary. If they were not considered to be the books of the bankrupt, there was no right to seize them. Mr. LAWRENCE, for the assignees, said that a sum of money bad been paid into Court to cover damages in any action of damage for the seizure. The Learned CommtssioxEn said he could not make any order, unless it was shown to him that they were the bank rupt's books; but, as the balance-sheet was not ready, the bankrupt could not pass his examination. The examination was then adjourned, with protection to the bankrupt, to enable him to go through the accounts with the official assignee. SECONDARIES.-_(T HIS DAY.) (Before Mr. SECONDARY POTTERY.) CHELTENHAM V. SMITH. FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—This was an inquiry to assess damages for a false imprisonment, the defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. HAWKINS stated the case. The plaintiff is a sliip broker at Limehouse, and transacted business at the Stock Exchange. On the 9th of July last the defendant met plaintiff near that place and gave him a bill of ex change, requesting him to dis c o u nt it, b u t he declined and returned the bill to defendant. The next day. whilst plaintiff was in Capel-court, in conyersatien with the captain of a vessel, defendant went up and said, " Where is the bill you robbed me of yes terday?" Plaintiff said he had certainly had the bill, but returned it, and told defendant to look in his pocket-book and he would find it. Defendant refused, and said Mr. Sander son (the landlord of a tavern close by) knew that he (plain tiff) did not give it back. They went,to Mr. Sanderson, who said he knew nothing about the matter, and it was then agreed by all parties to go to the Mansion-house and have the case decided by the Lord Mayor. On reaching there, however, it was found that his Lordship was not there, and defendant then said he would give plaintiff into charge, and actually did so. Plaintiff was taken to the office of the Superintendent of Police, where defendant opened his pocket-book, and almost the first thing he pulled out was the bill, between two cards. The charge was, of course, abandoned, but the defendant did not then make, nor had he since made the slightest apology, al though by suffering judgment to go by default he had ad mitted that he had acted illegally and • unjustifiably. He (the Learned Counsel) believed defendant had busines on the Stock Exchange. The jury assessed the damages at 501. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and Mr. Justice CRESWELL.) Fredsric. Tyler Russell, a surgeon, aged 23, was charged with feloniously forging and uttering an order for 551., with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England., The prisoner pleaded Guilty. There were other indict ments against the prisoner for the same offence.— Judgment was postponed. Henry Bushell pleaded Guilty to feloniously uttering a forged cheque for 375/., with intent to defraud William Henry Smith and others.—Sentence deferred. :'James Thomas, described as a labourer, and George Green, a soldier, were indicted for an unnatural offence. Mr. BALLANTINE applied to hare the case postponed, in consequence of the absence of the necessary witnesses. There was every,reason to suppose that the prisoner Thomas, who was supposed to be a man of fortune, had bought the wit nesses.—The case was ordered to stand over for the present. Thomas Russell, Ann Russell, and James Scott, w ere in dicted for having in their possession counterfeit coins, and implements for coining. It appeared that information had been conveyed to the authorities of the Mint, that coining was extensively carried on in the house occupied by the prisoners, in John's-lane, Westminster. They, therefore, in structed the officers of police to take measures to ascertain if such information was well founded. Acting on these orders, they proceeded to the house in question, burst open the door, and found the prisoners actively engaged in coining. Several counterfeit shillings And false dies, as weil as a gal vanic battery, were found in the room. A verdict of Guilty was returned against the male prisoners, and the female was acquitted.—Sentenee deferred. TRIAL OF CAPTAIN JOHNSTONE FOR WILFUL 113i6 MURDER. To-morrow is fixed for the trial of Captain Johnstone for murder on the high seas. The ..A.ttorney-General, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Clarke, prosecute; and Mr. Jervis, with Mr. Huddlestone, are engaged for the defence. Mary Ann Flood was found guilty of uttering a counter feit half-crown.—Sentence deferred. IV hll 7 COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) John Best, a working man, was indicted for stealing 10 lbs. of solder, value 45., the croperty of John Kelk, builder, Vauxhall, on the - 15th of January. John Harley 'said he was a clerk to Mr. Kelk, and was on the premises on the day in question, when the prisoner came down with the plumber, Watling, to take some lead up to the job at King-street, St. James's. He had his suspicion excited by the manner of the prisoner, as he came down from the plumbing shop supporting his jacket pocket, and evi dently: concealing something in it with Lis arm. He there fore laid hold of Lim and asked him what he had got there. It was a bar of solder, be said, which was booked. He had him taken back to the shop were he threw down the bar and begged to be forgiven, and said the plumber had told him to take it. Harley said nothing was allowed to go from the premises without an order, and the prisoner knew that. John Edwards said he ;vasj\ir. kclk's foreman at the job in King- street, and sent Wading .on that day for lead, and afterwards ordered the prisoner to go and help him. There was no order given for solder, and no need for it at the job. Charle3 Watling said he was a plumber, working at the job in -King-street, and went to the premises in Vauxhall for lead. The prisoner came to help him. lie did not order him to take solder, and when the prisoner took it he was two hundred yards distant from the shop. The prisoner was deaf, and had occasionally mistaken his orders. Mr. Ballantine conducted the case. Mr. Payne ad dressed the jury for the prisoner, and called witnesses to character. The jury found him guilty, but recommended him to mercy. He was sentenced to foul' months imprisonment and hard labour. James Scott, George Collins, Thomas Robertson, and John James Williams, all lads about sixteen years of age, were in dicted for stealing various articles of wearing apparel from the brig " William," at present lying in the Thames, on the Ist of February, 1846. George Henderson, the master of the brig, said he was roused between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning by the police. He found that a waistcoat, coat, and trousers were gone, which had been safe in the cabin on Saturday evening. He identified the articles in Court. John Innes, mate, said he was aroused at the same time, and found several articles belonging to him missing. He took the prisoner Collins in a barge alongside, and saw Scott in a lighter lying near his vessel. John Armour, a seaman on board the William, said he found Robertson and Williams in the after-hold of the ship. They were put into the cabin, and given over to the police, but Collins and Robertson refused to go until they got their shoes. Their aloes were found in a skiff, and Collins's hat in a coal -barge alongside. Policeman 37 of the Thames force, said he heard a noise as of a boat moving about, and suspected there might be thieves. He pulled off with his boat mate, Gregory, and found a hat in a coal-barge, lying off the brig William. In consequence of this he got aboard the brig, and roused the crew. When they had got lights, they found Williams in the after-hold of the brig, and took him down to the cabin.. John Gregory, one of the Thames force, said he found the shoes in a skiff, which were claimed by Collins and Robertson. The inspector of the Thames force said, he asked Robert son and Collins why they had put off their shoes. They said they had done so to go a shoring. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the prisoner Williams. The jury found them all Guilty, and Collins was found to bare been convicted of felony on a previous occasion. The COURT sentenced Williams to six months' imprison ment and hard labour ; Scott and Robertson, as they were known to the police by various petty convictions, were sen tenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour; and Collins, alias Donolly, on account of his previous conviction, was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Collins wished his Lordship might remain where he was till he came back. The COMMON . SERGEANT called him back, and said he had made a mistake; the law left him no option, the period could not be less than ten years; he therefore sentenced him to ten years' transportation. IMPERIAL PARLIA MENT. (THIS DAY.). HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House met at Twelve o'clock. Mr. BARRY BALDWIN moved that there be an intruc tion to the Committee on the petition of the Irish Great Western Railway Bill to entertain the petition of the Midland Great Western Company of Ireland, and James Malley, Da niel Desmond, and James Malley, James Gaynor and James Maley, notwithstanding, that the same may not have been presented three clear days before the meeting of such Com mittee. After a slight discussion, _ _ Mr. CHRISTIE moved as an amendment that such peti tion should be entertained. provided it should appear that they were in the possession of the Parliamentary agent, and would have been presented on the Friday if the House met on that day. Sir 5. GRAHAM said that he had always understood the order and practise of the House to be, that if the parties were ready to present the petition on the day on which the House adjourned, the adjournment would be considered no obstacle. Mr. lIODGSON said that his Hon. Friend the Member for Cumberland, was at that time sitting in a Committee on the Irish Great Western Bill, and it would certainly be strange to remove the Bill out of his Hon. Friends Committee. There was no reason to suppose that the Bill would be opposed, and such a proceeding would certainly be at variance with the decision already given. He for one should vote against it. Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said that if an Hon. Member pledged his word of honour that he had a petition in his possession on or before the day of adjournment, then such adjournment would be no obstacle to its presentation to the Committee to which it might be referred. Mr. ESCOTT said, that it seemed to be admitted on all hands that the petition would have been presented if the House had sat on Friday.—(Cries of " No, no.") At least it was the first time he had heard that proposition denied ; and if the petition had really been ready, he saw no obstacle to its presentation. After a few words from Mr. E. BULLER, The House divided, when there appeared:— For the amendment ._ Against it .... 39 Jlajority —3 3 The original motion was then negatived without a division. LANCASHIRE AND NORTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. 0. DUNCOMBE presented a petition for leave to bring in the Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway Bill. HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY. Mr. HUDSON presented a petition for leave to bring in this Bill. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. A petition was presented by an Hon. Member in favour of the Bill. CORNWALL RAILWAY. A petition was also presented in favour of the Bill for this line. SHREWSBURY AND HALIFAX RAILWAY. A petition in favour of the Bill for this line was presented. LINCOLN RAILWAY. A petition in favour of the Bill for this line, from the Cor poration of Lincoln, was also presented. THE MILITIA. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from a town in Middlesex against the enrolment of the militia. THE CORN-LAWS. Captain PECHELL presented a petition from the inhabi tants of a town, the name of which we could not catch, for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. EMPLOYMENT OF THE IRISH POOR DURING THE ENSUING SUMMER. Sir 11. W. BARRON presented a petition praying the House to devise means fur the employment of the poor in Ireland during the forthcoming summer. THE CHILTERN HUNDREDS. Mr. BANKES moved for a return of all such Members of the Government as had applied for and obtained the appoint ment of stewards of the Chiltern Hundreds since the last session, together with the dates of such applications and ap pointments: BONE-CRUSHING. . . . Captain PECHEEI said it was now very nearly eight years ago since he brought forward the case of a labouring man in the Eastbourne Union, in Sussex, who bad been brought to death's door by the system of labour to which the paupers in that workhouse were subjected. On that oc casion he was met with very unjust and very severe obser vaticns on the part of those who chose to defend the system of crushing bones in union workhouses. Every year since ho had brought the subject under the notice of Government, and he was very happy to say that the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, at once en tered into his feelings on the subject, and the House was well aware that during the, two last sess i ons o f Parliament the Right Honourable Baronet stated in his place, that he highly disapproved of the practice of employ ing paupers in crushing bones, either as a punishment, or as a meat of employment, and he understood that au 9ztler rarl ic " . was issued from the Home-oftice, forbidding tobe,,Pcoobe The Poor-law Commissioners however, seemed t intentions of the Right Hon.

These unions set the Secretary of Stale A darn' ance, and the Poor-law Commissioners encourarao But, at last, came the monstrous case of the Andorcesre'dor. with respect to which the Right Hon.
