IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 9. The LORD CHANCISLOR took his seat upon the Woolsack at the usual hour. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the House of Commons brought up certain Bills. THE RICHMOND RAILWAY. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said he had been entrusted with two petitions from the parishes of Kew and Mortlake, to present to their Lordships against that part of the Richmond Railway which went to Kew. All the landed proprietors were against the Bill, and the petitioners prayed for the in terference of the House. Lord BROUGHAM presentedseveral petitions (amongst others one from a g entleman residing in Cornwall) against the Cornish Railway ; and one from the Remonstrant Presby e terian Synod of Tyrone (Ireland), praying for th ent i re a bolition of capital punishment. A Gallant Friend of his, at present with his regiment in Ireland, had entrusted him to present a petition against the C oc k e rmouth Railway, which ran within 500 yards of his family seat, Cockermouth Castle, wherein his ancestors had dwelt upwards of 800 years ago. The petition stated that there was no necessity for the line running so close to the House, and he ( Lord Brougham) could bear witness to the truth of that assertion. It would save money to the con tractors, but that was all. INVASION OF IRELAND. Lord BROUGHAM said that, seeing his Noble Friend the Chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster in his place, he would ask him was there any truth in the report that an invasion of Ireland was anticipated.—(Hear, hear.) There was a report abroad that such was the case which he believed was founded upon the fact of two cavalry regiments being sent over to the country yesterday. lie wished to know was there any truth in the retort? Lord CAMPBELL—As the report has nothing whatever to do with the county palatinate of the Duchy of Lan caster, I am not aware of such having been the fact. Lord BROUGHAM—I apprehend that the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has something to do with it, as the embarkation is reported to have taken place at Liver pool, which is within the palatinate—(Laughter)—but as the Noble Lord does not know anything about it, there must be no truth in the report. Several other petitions were then presented, and their Lordships adjourned at half-past Five o'clock till to-morrow. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. 7•ZSMABAGOVET, DALSERP, AND COAT.. BRIDGE MINERAL JUNCTION. (Coatinued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) On the completion of the promoters' case, Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, on the part of the petitioning land owner, Mr. Hohnesworth, addressed the Committee at con siderable length, and, on the conclusion of his speech, the Committee, without calling upon him to give any evidence, ordered the room to be cleared, and after a consultation of about a quarter of an hour allowed the parties to be re admitted. The CHAIRMAN then said, I have to annouuce to the counsel that the Committee have determined to report to the House that it is not expedient to carry the proceedings in this case any further. Having given this decision, the Committee rose at about ten minutes to four o'clock. Room B. CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRANCIIES). (continued front our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The evidence on the part of the petitioners occupied the Committee the whole of the remaining part of the day, and was not concluded at four o'clock, when the Committee rose, adjourning the further consideration of the case till to morrow. Room C. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) PORTBVRY RAILWAY AND PIER. Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the promoters, and stated that this was a short line of eight miles in length, from the Bristol and Exeter line to Portbury, and was projected to obviate the inconvenience of the navigation of the river Avon, which forms the water communication between Bristol and the Bristol Channel. From being a tidal river, the navi gation of it is often interrupted, and when it is recollected that as many as 2,500 steam-vessels visited the port of Bristol every year, the saving of the inconvenience to which he had alluded, would appear of not little importance. In addition to the railway it was proposed to construct a pier at Portbury, with a sort of breakwater, consisting of three iron-vessels of 300 feet length each, which would be so placed as to render their surface longer or shorter as the case may re quire. These vessels also, it was proposed, to form so as to give stowage for water and other necessaries, for sea-going ships. The vessels frequenting Portbury would be subject to the port dues of Bristol, and one object to be served was the reduction of those dues. To this he believed there was no objection on the part of the proprietary, but the trustees of the port consisted of twenty-seven members each, a third of whom were elected by different bodies, and there was consequently a difficulty in coming to a decision. There was no opposition to the preamble, but there was to the clause. A. gentleman from Bristol, one of the petitioners against the reduction clause, here requested that the case might be postponed till to-morrow, - when counsel would appear to speak upon this clause for reduction of the dues, but it was agreed that the preamble should be gone into, and that the clause should be left till to-morrow. Mr. Brunel was then called, and he proved the facts stated by Mr. Talbot, adding further, that the Great Britain and the other transatlantic steamers had been removed to Liver pool, in consequence of the difficulty of the navigation of the Avon. The capital to be raised is 200,0001., with power to borrow 66,0001. To the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Mr. Brunel replied that every one in Bristol would have been too happy to improve the navigation of the Avon but at low water the river was dry, and the influx of the tide came with a sixty feet rise, and if the obviation of this difficulty was not quite impracticable, it was the next thing to it. Mr. MOYES then put in the formal proofs, and their Lord ships adjourned till to-morrow. Room D. FOREST Or DEAN AND GLOUCESTER LINE, AND SOUTH WALES LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) On re-examination, Mr. Hall stated that he had under stood the quantity of land of this estate was about 540 acres, and that the money demanded was 40,5001., although he had been given to understand that when the property was offered by Mr. George Robins for sale, in 1843, a very much less sum was bid for it. Mr. BAKER, Chairman of the Company, deposed generally as to the merits of the line, and stated that the line as now proposed was what it originally was, with the exception of the Bilaton branch, which is now aban doned. The reason why this branch was adopted was because the directors were not aware that they could get any other access to the Forest of Dean from Gloucester. That branch had always been objectionable from the severity of its gradient and the extent and expense of the tunnelling. But when it was ascertained that they had other means of access, on the recommendation of Mr. Brunel they had adopted the longer but the cheaper route, because had they not done so, they woula have had to impose a greater rate of toll upon the whole of the route. Mr. Atkinson, clerk of the Crown for the Forest of Dean, stated that the forest comprised 48 square miles, and that it was rich in minerals, especially coals, and that the best seams lie in the upper series. The annual produce was rated at 300,000 tons. If this line were made it would take the heads of the two valleys which drained the forest, and thus provide an outlet for every part. The Woods and Forests were favourable to the project. Mr. Sturge, a merchant at Gloucester, stated that much commerce was kept away from the city by the deficiency of means of communication. Mr. Cleagram, clerk of the Gloucester and Swansea Canal, testified that the commercial business of the place is very considerable, there having been as many as 1,700 seafaring vessels in the port during the last year. The exports at present were only one-third of the imports, but the ex ports would be very largely increased, if there were greater facility of access. This concluded the case for the promoters. Mr. Coors then addressed their Lordships on behalf of Mr. Hoskins, the object of his address being to show, not only that this line was unnecessary, but it was longer than the other also. Mr. Brunel was then recalled by the Chairman, and stated that the line from Newport by Monmouth, by Ross, to Gloucester was about equal to the coast line, and that the gradients on the inner line would be most decidedly worse than on the other. The inland line, although by Hereford and Gloucester it might have some merits, yet it was absurd to suppose that all the minerals in that district could be car ried by it. Mr. Brunel produced a comparative drawing of the gradients on both lines. This closed the case, when the room was c leared te for ai the decision, andon the re-admission of the parties declared that the Committee had decided th at the Bills rAmveare proved. Mr. Brunel then put in a statement of the several roads crossed on a level by the South Wales line. The capital to be raised for the several deviations is 700,0004 with 200,000/. for excess. For the Forest of Dean line the money to be raised is 200,0001., with power to borrow 660,0001. The formal proofs of the Forest of Dean line were then put in, The line is to be fifteen miles four furlongs in length, and the branches are to be two miles, two furlongs, and two chains, no tunnels, and no highways passed on a level. The reports were then ordered to be brought up. Rom 6 A Select Committee appo i nte d . to consider the merits of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway, and of the Heywood Waterworks, met at eleven o'clock this morning in Itooni 6 (in Abingdo n - s t reet), the Marquis of Westminster i n the chair, and present the Earls of Radnor, Chichester, &c. Earl Nelson was one of the members, and attended in the course of the day, but in consequence of revere indisposition his Lordship was unable to remain and join in the labours of his Noble Colleagues. Their Lordships first took the case of the • HEYWOOD WATEILVTORHS BILL, which occupied them for a considerable time. The preamble was declared proved. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID LAND =NOTION. Mr. Talbot and Mr. Merrewether appeared for the pro moters of this Bill ; Mr. Hope, Mr. Paget, Mr. Ellison, and other counsel, for various petitioners against it. Mr. Thum. - having opened the case for the promoters, in in a short speech, called Mr. Isaac Schofield, table-knife manufacturer at Sheffield, who gave evidence as to the advantages to that place which the improved communication with the districts traversed by the line would effect. He gave statistical details as to the amount of coal con sumed in Sheffield, which are too lengthy for insertion here. He sa id that great benefit would accrue to the owners of factories from the reduction of the price of coal that might be expected by the communication with the coal districts. This gentleman's eidence occupied the Committee up to four o'clock, when they rose,rp t d adjourned till to-morrow at eleven. HOUSE 010._,COMMONS, - GTZOITP - ' MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. The Committee met at twelve o'clock to-day, for the pur pose of proceeding with the clauses postponed from yester day, which occupied the whale of the day. GROUP LXI. The Committee on this group met to-day at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 26 (Grand Corridor); Sir J._Duckworth i 4 the chair. They proceeded with hearing evidence on the clauses of the two canal railway Bills, the EDINBURGH AND GLA SGOW UNION CANAL, GLASGOW, PAISLEY, ANTI JOHNSTONE CANAL SA.-L.E. The preambles of both Bills having been already proved, the whole of the sitting was occupied with going through the clauses. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met this morning at the usual hour, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair, and present Lords Redesdale, Ha warden, and Winchester. There were but four Bills—all railway Bills—of which one was on second reference. This was the MANCHESTER AND LINCOLN UNION RAILWAY, AND CHESTERFIELD AND GAINSBOROUGH CANAL, in which the standing orders were complied with. SHROPSHIRE UNION R -AMWAY AND CANAL (NEWTOWN TO CREWE). The standing orders were complied with in this case also. The Committee then resolved itself into a Select Committee on Merits. On assuming this form their Lordships disposed of the two following Bills, which were the only railway Bills on the list : GREAT WESTERN AND WYCOMBE. The promoters of this Bill succeeded in proving their preamble, GRAND JUNCTION (HUYTON AND ASTON, AND OTHER BRANCHES). The preamble of this Bill also was declared proved. Their Lordships were occupied the remainder of the sitting with unopposed Bills for various local purposes. THE GAUGE QUESTION. The following are some extracts from Mr. W. Cubitt's evidence before the Select Committee of the House of Lords:— Would there not be some difficulty in case of having two gauges. Should there not be one uniform gauge in that case ?—I think there should be one uniform gauge in any case. Can you make any sort of estimate of what the ex pense of the alteration would be ?—Not a decided esti mate, what it would cost to alter the gauges; but I could state a minimum and a maximum. I would say it would cost from 5001. to 1,0001. per mile to alter the gauges. That is not a large sum. The alteration, at all events, of the permanent way, could be made without stopping the traffic ?—Certainly. I am now going to relay a line entirely ; a new set of rails and fixtures altogether, and I shall not stop the traffic ; yet there are 80 trains a-day on that line, or 40 each way. Where is that ?—From London to Croydon. You have no doubt that it would be of considerable advantage to the country, in many points of view, that there should be one uniform gauge ?—There can be no doubt about that. _ _ _ _ Both for traffic and for the military defences of the country ?—Yes, in every respect ; I will not make one exception, because I do not think one can be made. But I should be sorry to see other narrow gauge lines granted if there is likely to be an alteration, because there will be many miles of new railway ; many more than are made ; I think twice as many. You think this is a good opportunity for making the alteration?—l think if the thing is ever to be done there should not be a season lost, certainly. I think the thing may be easily done, and economically done, and done without loss to the public, and without loss to the companies, and in a very short time, and at a very moderate expense. DUELLING IN GERMANY. A letter from Munster, Westphalia, of the 30th ult. published in the Journal des Debats, contains the fol lowing : " The day before yesterday we were witnesses of an afflicting spectacle, and which to a certain degree trans ported us to the middle ages. The spectacle was that of a duel under the sanction of justice. The following is an account of this strange affair : "Two young officers, the Baron de Deukhaus, a lieu tenant in the 11 th Regiment of Hussars, and M. de Bonnhart, also a lieutenant in the 13th Infantry, had, whilst playing at billiards in a coffee-house at Munster, a violent dispute, in which M. de Deukhaus made use of several offensive expressions towards his adversary. " These words having been entered in a public place, and before a great number of witnesses, M. de Bonn hart felt himself under the necessity of demanding public satisfaction, and to this effect cited M. de Deuk kaus to appear before the tribunal of hononr sitting at Munster. It is known that:for the last two years tri bunals of this description are instituted in all the divi sions of the Prussian army. " This tribunal, conformably to the law, used all its efforts to induce the offending party to retract the offen sive expressions, and not being able to succeed, came to a decision that, considering the words in question at tacked the honour of of M. de Bonnhart, the latter could no longer continue in the army without having obtained public satisfaction ; and considering that M. de Deuk. haus obstinately refused to grant him such satisfaction, the tribunal authorised a duel between the two parties, according to the military rules. "The duel took place on Monday, June 29, at three o'clock in the afternoon, in a plain situate to the north of the city of Munster. A platform was erected in the middle of the plain, on which was seated the tribunal, the judges of the combat. "Before the tribune, a large space, surrounded by ropes,supported by staves, was reserved for the combat ants. Some detachments of infantry and cavalry were placed round the enclosed ground and tribune of the judges. At an early hour an immense crowd filled the vast plain, in order to witness the strange contest which was about to take place. " At three o'clock precisely the Judges, wearing their uniform, took their places in the tribune. They again attempted to effect a reconciliation, and this attempt also failing, authorised the combat to take place. " It was agreed upon by the two adversaries, with the sanction of the tribunal, that the combat should take place with cavalry swords, and be continued until one of the adversaries became hors de combat, and that both should fight with their heads uncovered and in their shirt sleeves. " A certain number of sabres were then brought for ward, and the two adversaries, after having bound their eyes, took by chance their weapons. Then taking off the handkerchiefs from their eyes, as well as their coats and hats, they put themselves in an attitude of defence, and at a signal given by the President of the Tribunal, the combat began. " MM. de Deukhas and de Bonnhart fought with the greatest obstinacy. The latter successively received two slight wounds in the arm, but soon afterwards wounded his adversary so severely in the thigh as to render it impossible for the latter to continue the combat. " When the surgeons had dressed the wounds of the officers, the president of the tribunal again attempted to reconcile them. This time he was immediately obeyed, and the two adversaries em braced each other. The public, which had throughout the combat observed the profoundest silence, hailed the reconciliation with loud and continued applause. Two coaches took away the late opponents, and M. de Bonnhart assisted in carrying M. de Deukhaus to his. The tribunal then separated, and the crowd quietly dispersed. "It is the first time that a tribunal of honour it Prussia has ever authorised a duel. All the disbutes which had been hitherto brought before the tribunal, had invariably terminated by a reconciliation." BONDED GOODS. A case having recently occurred in which a tidewaiter belonging to the Customs department, who accompanied a quantity of brandy, removed at the request of a lighterman from one of the dock establishments, for the purpose of being shipped for exportation on board a vessel lying in another of the docks, was compelled to remain in charge of the lighter for several days, at an unnecessary expense to the Crown, in con• sequence of the vessel not being ready to receive the goods on board, and the solicitor of the de partment having laid before the board, in pursuance of their order, the following form of public notice, viz.:— •' Custom-house, London— The Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs hereby give notice, that all tobacco, cigars, snuff, spirits, tea, and such other warehoused goods as are liable to high duties, when waterborne to be shipped 1,,r exportation, must be accompanied by an officer, and such officer shall remain in charge of the same until duly received on board of the exporting vessel, unless the goods are in decked craft, with the bulkheads secured and the batches properly fastened under the Queen's Locks, and the keys thereof deposited with the searchers at the sta tion where the exporting vessel and craft are lying, if in the St. Katherine's Docks, London Docks, East or West India Docks, when in such cases the officers may be withdrawn. That when removed to either of the aforenamed docks in other than decked craft duly secured as aforesaid, and in all cases, whether in decked craft or otherwise, when the ex porting vessel is not lying in one of the said docks, such goods will be required to be shipped within three • days from the time of the appointment of the officer who shall accompany the same, unless the owners th ereof, or the lighterman, deposit with the in spectors of the river a sufficient sum to defray the ex pense of officers accompanying such goods for any longer period, and such goods will be required in all cases to be shipped on boa r d of the vessel for which they may have been entered, or on board of some other vessel for which they shall have beenduly transf e rred within six days from the time the same have been waterborne. hi That unless these conditions and regulations are com plied with, all such goods not ao time specified, or duly relanded unLr pged within the searchers, and returned into the custody of the the proper officers in the warehousing department, will be seized as forfeited. By order of the Commission ers , (signed) C. A. Scovell, Secretary" — the same has been approved by the Board, and copies of the same have been printed and furnished to the principal officers of the revenue at the dock establishments men tioned, and other stations and places of mer cantile resort on the banks of the river, with directions to cause the same to be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the shipping trade and mercantile community generally throughout the port. It will be obServed that this notice is of great im portance to merchants and all parties concerned, as the neglecting to comply strictly with the orders contained therein with respect. to the due and speedy shipment of goods removed from bond for exportation, will involve their forfeiture to the Crown, and cause much inconveni ence and annoyance. Mr. Napier of Glasgow, is at present building a steamer, of 800 tons and 420 horse-power, to ply between this port and Dundalk. She is to be called "The Pride of Erin." Her power is greater than that of any other steamer engaged in the Channel trade. —. Liverpool Courier. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1846. BURDENS ON LAND. There was, on Wednesday, issued by order of the House of Commons, a copy of a communication made by Lord Monteagle to the Board of Trade, on the subject of burdens on land. The following is the letter of Lord Monteagle:— _ _ _ Whitehall-yard, June 12, 1846. My Lords,—lt has been suggested to me, that the draft report which I prepared for the consideration of the Committee on the Burdens on Land, though nega tived by the Committee, may not be without some use fulness hereafter, as a document illustrative of a most important subject of statistical inquiry; and on these grounds I have been urged to present it to your Lord ships, that it may be preserved among other documents in the statistical department of the Board of Trade. Though this course may appear to connect too much importance with a paper possessing and claiming no authority beyond that of the single individual who has framed it, yet, in conformity with the request that hat. been made to me, I inclose this draft report for your Lordships' acceptance.—l have, &c , (Signed) MONTE GLE. Lord Dlonteagle to the Lords of the Committee for Trade. The following are extracts from Lord Monteagle's "Report proposed for the adoption of the Committee of the House of Lords on burdens and exceptions of real property, but negatived":— The practical inferences which may be drawn from the evidence and from the preceding observations, are very important. In some cases remedial measures, founded on sound principles and on past experience, have been suggested for evils not admitting of much doubt or controversy. In other cases various reforms have been recommended which are entitled to the most serious and most immediate attention. In conclusion, we recapitulate some of these recom. mendations 1. The improvement of the law of real property, the simplification of titles and of the forms of conveyance, the establishment of a general office for the registration of deeds ; thus applying principles already adopted in Scotland, Ireland, and almost throughout the continent of Europe, whereby the security to landed property has been increased, and its value augmented several years' purchase. 2. An extension of the measure of 1835, by relieving the counties and boroughs from the portion of expense to which they continue liable for criminal prosecutions. This measure, however, should be accompanied by an adoption, on the part of the State, of an effective control. The establishment of an office of public prosecutor, and the conduct of all prosecutions, is recommended in the strongest manner by the example of Scotland and of Ireland, as well as by the reason of the case. 3. The revision of the stamp duties, not with a view to the reduction of revenue, but to a better appointment of burdens; an adoption of an ad valorem scale of duty. relieving small properties from the present unjust and and disproportionate charge; and making an equitable distribution of all duties on the sale and transmission of property, real and personal, whether during life or after decease, both on ordinary conveyances and in the s h a p e of probate or legacy duties, so as to remedy all existing inequalities, and to repeal all undue and partial ex emptions. 4. The adoption of periodical and compulsory re valuations for the levy of all local rates, so as to avoid the injustice and inequality of the present most ano malous system. This is consistent with the recom mendation of the Commissioners on local rates, and with the evidence now taken. 5. The consolidation of the present numerous rates, levied by multiplied and sometimes conflicting authorities. There now exists in law, if not in practice, twenty four rates, and fifty-four species of officers for their im position, levy, and administration. The number of these officers is now estimated at 184,204. The fact that many of these officers perform gratuitous service, does not necessarily vary the case ; it is far from being universally true that gratuitous service is always the cheapest. 6. It has been explained by Mr. Blake, that the ex pense of erecting gaols, bridewells, shire-halls, and similar buildings in Ireland, is provided for by the public. Advances are made by the Treasury to meet these heavy branches of expenditure; these advances are made on the security of the county rate, and are repay able, without interest, by easy instalments. There ap pears every reason why this system should be extended to Great Britain. 7. Where new establishments are introduced, as in the last session, for the support of lunatics, and where there are obvious reasons both of economy and of humanity, for centralising the administration, and where, above all, the resources of the state can be made available without any risk of aggravating or increasing the evil proposed to be remedied, the committee are not prepared to justify the imposition of the whole cost upon one description of property. The committee therefore submit, whether the charge for the maintenance of lunatics in public asylums throughout the empire ought not to be undertaken by the public. 8. More hesitation should undoubtedly be felt in respect to any part of the expediture for the maintenance and relief of the poor; but to a certain extent, the ob servations made on lunatic asylums may, with proper safeguards, be made applicable to other branches of medical relief. 9. A charge is periodically cast upon the militia rate; this is not now levied, the militia being disembodied ; but, considering the object of the militia to be general, and not confined to interests of a particular class, the committee are of opinion that this charge should be pro vided for by Parliament, care being, however, taken, that if the public assume the responsibility of the charge, the Government should hare authority to ensure the efficiency of the force. 10. It is most desirable that the practical experiments for testing the chemical conclusions to which Professors Graham, Thomson, and Dr. Lyon Playfair have arrived should be repeated under proper superintendence, but with the co-operation of persons of acknowledged skill in agriculture. With impugning the scientific acquire ments of the eminent men consulted by the Govern ment, it is highly interesting that this question should be disposed of in a manner to leave no reasonable doubt on the decision which may ultimately be pronounced. These measures appear to the committee in them selves to be defensible because they are just ; but at the same time, in making these suggestions, they are fully aware that the burdens imposed by law directly upon land in England do not bear so high a proportion in England, to the whole taxation of the country, as is the case in many foreign States. So far as Prussia and parts of Germany are concerned, this fact may be deduced from the evidence of Mr. Banfield. The same results may be found in respect of France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and other foreign States. This fact, however, ought not to vary the views which may be taken either of justice or policy ; neither should it be inferred that the proportion of land taxes blrne by foreign countries enters into the cost of production, or raises the price of produce abroad, any more than similar taxation has been shown to do at home. The facts are, therefore, referred to as bearing upon the principle of apportionment between one class of the community and another, and not for the purpose of suggesting that the cost of raising corn and other agricultural produce is governed by one principle in England, and by another principle on the Continent of Europe. MANIFESTO OF THE FRENCH FREE-TRADE ASSOGIATION. The following is the manifesto of the association, which has just been issued :—" At the moment of unit ing for the defence of a great cause, the undersigned feel the necessity of expounding the faith, of proclaim ing the aim, the limits, the means, and the spirit of their association. Exchange is a natural right, as is property. Each citizen who has formed or acquired a property ought to have it in his option either to apply it imme diately to his own use, or to cede it to any on the sur face of the globe, who consents to give him in exchange the object of his desires. To deprive him of that op tion, when not made subservient to uses contrary to public order and morals, and solely to satisfy the con venience of another citizen, would be to authorise a robbery, and to wound the laws of justice. It is also a violation of order ; for what order can exist in the midst of a society where each branch of industry seeks for success in the oppression of all others, aided in that by the arm of the law ? It is a misconception of the wishes of Providence which presides over human desti nies, and which are manifest in the infinite variety of climate, of seasons, of natural forces and faculties, gifts which the Almighty divided unequally among men, so as to unite them by interchange in the bonds of uni versal fraternity. It is a drawback to public prosperity, for he that has it not in his option to exchange freely, is deprived also of changing his work, and finds him self constrained to give a false direction to his energies, to his faculties, to his capital, agents which nature had placed at his disposal. Lastly, it is compromising the peace of nations, for it is rending asunder the bonds which unite them, and which would make wars out of the question, as being so onerous. The aim of the association is, therefore, - free exchange. The under signed do not question the right of establishing on goods that pass the frontier duties destined for the ex penses of the commonwealth, provided the wants of the treasury are alone consulted in the establishment of them. But as soon as the duties lose their fiscal cha racter, and aim at the exclusion of foreign produce to the detriment of the treasury itself so as to cause an artificial rise in a similar branch of national produce, thus sacrificing the community to a class ; f rom t h a t moment protection or rather spoliation manifests itself, and that is the principle which the association wishes to eradicate from the public mind, and to efface entirely is from our laws, independent of all reciprocity and of aims syst at systems elsewhere. th p e re to va ta il l ing destruction o f not to say that it desires it to be accomplished in a day. Even from evil to good, and from a false position to a th T e h protective the ctiv Association system, natural state of things, prudence may command precau tions. The means of execution belong to the powers of the state ; the mission of the association is to propa gate the principle, and render it popular. As regards the means to be resorted to, legal and constitutional means will be alone resorted to. Lastly, the associa tion is void of all political or party spirit • it is subser vient t o no par ti cu l ar c l ass or b ranc h of industry, to no particular portion of the land. It embraces the cause of eternal justice, of peace, union, free communication, fra ternity between all men, the cause ofgeneral welfare, which everywhere, and under every aspect, is united to that of the public consumer." Here follow the signatures. CARDIFF. —On Sund a y thi s town was v i s i te d w i th a most terrific thunder -storm. About nine o'clock it com menced, and continued with unabated fury, until. about half past ten o'clock. The lightning was of a peculiar forked character. A small cottage wr s struck at Canton, a hamlet about a mile distant, and the chimney destroyed ; a man and woman, who were sitting near the fireplace at the time, were prostrated to the earth, and remained insensible for a length - of iiine._ They are, however, happily recovering. Mr. B. Abercromby had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. ST. LUCIA. (From the St. Lucia Independent Press, June 4.) At length the weather has become such as to satisfy even the planters. The lately costive firmament is dis charging, freely, showers of water and electricity. In a word the wet season has fairly set in. But let it not be imagined by those abroad that the effects of the recent protracted drought are to be thus easily repaired. Such damage has been done both to this year's crop, and to that of next year, as the present rains, however season able, cannot remedy. Favourable to agriculture, the weather i s no t th e mos t wholesome for individuals. Hooping•cough has not en tirely disappeared, and dysentery is prevalent. Those unexplained curses, the mosquitoes and sand-flies, afflict the inhabitants, especially such as occupy low-tene ments, surrounded with shrubbery and stagnant wa ter, and cut off from the free action of the wind. Let London cockneys complain of bugs and fleas. Happy will they be if swarms of our inter tropical insects never assault their domestic c , mforts. You sit on a cane-bottom chair. You are, literally cupped in consequence. In a warm climate, the veins of your ample forehead swell. In an instant the winged and buzzing tormentors settle on the choice spots with the skill of practised anatomists. It is said that the old system of bleeding for all disorders has been ex ploded. Pray blow up our sand-flies and mosquitoes, and a statue shall attest your merit to a liberated pos • terity. Money has seldom been more scarce than it now is. The peasantry, having none, cannot buy goods, and, consequently, the shopkeepers cannot make remittances. Wages have fallen at least 33 per cent. The combined court, however, which is irresponsible to the tax payers, has resolved to re• impose, for another year, those exorbitant taxes on the common necessaries of life, the effect of which is that wages, however de scribed as high, are only high nominally. This body has not yet brought its most unpatriotic labours to a ter mination. _ _ There have arrived 260 coolies by the Britannia. and 139 by the Raymond ; and, to-day, 2',il by the Sir Robert Peel. Numbers of those people are to be seen wandering on the streets and highways, scantily clad and filthy. About a daring riot among a portion of them on the west coast of Demerara we shall say nothing until after the termination of pending law proceedings. The coolies, when industrious, are clean workers, but weak. For the heavy labour in cidental to the rainy season they are not by any means fitted. But were they first-rate shovel men, which they are not, they would still be a bad bargain under the con dition of re-transportation, at the public charge, at the end of fire years. Mr. Secretary Gladstone wculd con fer a solid benefit on the country, if he were to inter dict coolie immigration altogether, and thus rescue the colonists from the misgovernment of their rulers ere it is too late to interpose with advantage. Africans and Ma deirans, so much more cheap of introduction, excel the coolies incomparably in every qualification which our plantation tasks require. Of the projected railway between Georgetown and Mahaica, a neat sketch is in the colony, drawn by the talented engineer, Catberwood. The line, some 21 miles long, is divided into three portions, each quite straight, and all united together at angles so open as to form nearly a straight line throughout. Towards the City, the buildings of the plantations are generally to seaward of the line, towards Mahaica, mostly to landward of it. The City terminus is at the northern end of the city, that is, at the river's mouth ; from which, however, a branch is to run up a main street to the market and the public buildings. This arrangement seems to be unexceptionable. A long way above the spot at which the line strikes the little river Mahaica, an expensive bridge has just been constructed, the cost of which is to be defrayed by a loan, redeemable out of the tolls. As soon as the rail way is completed, this bridge, as a matter of course, will be deserted and unproductive. Notwithstanding this, the public authorities are contracting for other bridges on other small rivers, nearer Berbice, quiteir respectively of what stations the railway company may decide on. Thus we shall have handsome and costly erections, four at least in number, which neither man nor brute will ever use. A TIGER HUNT. The following account is taken from a letter written by an individual at Goonah to a relation in Edin burgh : " On the evening of the 16th of December last word was brought that a tiger had killed a buffalo and a cow, and had carried them to a deep glen. It was too late to start that night, but off I went by peep of day next morning, got about a hundred beaters, with fellows to beat drums and blow horns, enough to make Old Nick bolt. A number of native gentlemen came, we put the beaters into a likely-looking hill, and those armed with guns took up their position : no tiger came out. A hyena stole out opposite to where, I was : I knocked him over. Another consultation was held as to the pro bable place the tiger was in : agreed, off went the beaters. " All the Sirdars begged me not to remain upon the ground, but to get up a tree, like them, and I should be quite safe if the tiger came out. I humoured the poor fellows, but had not been perched there ten minutes when bang, bang, bang went the matchlocks. I saw a rush of men, swords flashed in the air, and spears were bran dished, and I heard the roar of the tiger as he was hit. I saw the people driven back in all directions : he had charged them. To remain up the tree when all this was going on was not my nature, so down I jumped, calling to my servants to bring my spare guns. They followed me very well, and we rushed to the ravine. The tigress (for it turned out to be one) had gone off to a dense thicket on a rising ground, standing by itself. She was seen to go in, and no one saw her coming out. Thither we went, and all stood fifteen or twenty yards outside, stretching their necks and straining their eyes. At last I was sure I saw her watching us, just a small red patch among the green foliage. I pointed out to the men what I felt convinced was the tigress, put the rifle to my shoulder, and fired. I was right ; she gave a roar and fell. It was impos sible to see her for the long grass and underwood, but we distinctly heard her growling. But how to get her out was the question, for no one seemed desirous of being better acquainted with the scenery inside. " There were at this time upwards of 100 men assem bled, but the noise was such I could not make myself hoard. I lost all patience and moved towards the thicket. All called out to me not to venture, but go I would, my mind was made up, so I looked round if there were any volunteers —a fineyoung Rajpoot sepoy was at my back, with his matchlock. We went to the end, and entered the dense thicket of high grass, creepers, and underwood, and some difficulty we had in making our way. When we got in about fifteen yards, the tigress must have got sight of us, for she growled in the most savage manner. We could not see her. It was now most exciting, at the same time the feeling most intense, and, I must say, most ticklish work. My faithful Raj poot comrade kept side by side with me. There was a dead silence among the people outside. " We had got about twenty yards into this labyrinth, guided by the growling of the tigress, when we got sight of her, not ten paces in front, sitting up, her eyes flashing fire, and growling at us most intensely. She seemed all ready for a spring. The rifle was up in an instant. I took a steady, deliberate aim at her head. Yes, although I say it, who should not say it, I do give myself credit for that affdir. My hand was as steady as ever it was in my life firing at a hare. Well, the ball penetrated the centre of her head. She gave a roar. No; I shall never forget it! She made one spring at us, and we were driven back. I could almost feel her warm breath. My clash tent-pitcher, unknown to me, had followed with a spare gun. The stump of a tree caught his foot, and, before the poor fellow could recover himself, she seized him, and died at the instant with him in her mouth. Had she lived a quarter of a minute after seizing him, she must have torn him limb from limb. No; in the whole course of my life I never saw or heard of such an escape. His arm was a good deal lacerated by her claws—one claw had penetrated through a thick silver charm, which he wore on his arm, to the bone. She had seized him by the back with her teeth ; but, most fortunately, the clashy had on my ammunition bag, containing powder flask, bullets, and a little of everything, and her teeth went through that. "It was some time before I knew whether the brute was really dead, or only shamming ; for she did not move, and her eye still flashed fire ; but she was dead, and no mistake My gallant Rajpoot comrade and I carried home my poor clashy, and I am glad to say he is doing well. Now, you have had my tiger adventure. It had long been my ambition to kill a tiger on foot, face to face ; and I have done it, and the skin i s i n pickle." them whenstate of ANOTHER CAPTAIN CAPTAIN JOHNSON. —In last week's paper, cooursreaudeenrscewoefrehiinsfcornnueletdyttohat a vessel had arrived at Kirk wall, the captain of which had been bound by the crew, in captain had been drunk four weeks, canon The following additional particulars have since been hea d s .

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, July 9. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MORESIS. This case was mentioned to-day by order. HODGEINSON Z. WYATT. ..... . This was an exception taken to the report of the Master by the defendant, to a Bill to the effect that the defendant was bond fide mortgagee to the plaintiff for a sum of 600/. The Master's report found that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in a sum of 530/., while the defendant alleged that he owed the plaintiff but 330/. The debt was proved by the evidence of a porter in the employ of the plaintiff, which, it was also alleged, was an insufficient proof of debt. Mr. Roupell opened the case, and was followed on the same side by Mr. Collins and Mr. Kindersley ; and Mr. Turner appeared for the plaintiff. The cause occupied the whole of the day, and had not con cluded at the rising of the Court. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, July 9. (Before Sir L. SHADWELL.) DI RE LONDON, SALISBURY, AND YEOVIL JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. STEVENS applied for payment out of Court of 33,750 L on the withdrawal of this Bill. IN RE GREAT GRIMSBY AND SIIEFTIELD JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. ELLISON applied in like manner as to four branches of this project (the Bill having passed), as follows:-45,0001., 20,000 L, 23,0001, and 3,0001. LN RE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Mr. DEsmsorr;applied in like manner, and on a similar oc casion, as to 250,0001. HARVEY V. COLLETT. The arguments in this case were resumed. Mr. WALKER and Mr. HEATHPIELD appeared in support of the demurrer, and argued that by the authority of all the cases on the point, this being on the face of it a bubble com pany, and the plaintiff coming in the character of a share holder, could have no equity as against the company. The Bill was also clearly defective for want of parties, for the plaintiff, although a shareholder, was not an original sub scriber, and could not represent that body, of which he was not a member; and that, therefore, some of the original sub scribers were necessary parties. Mr. BETHELL, Mr. J. PARKER, and Mr. WELFORD ap peared in support of the bill. First, there was a prelimi nary objection to the demurrer, which was to the bill of " Daniel Whittle Harvey, complainant," whereas the bill was by "D. W. Harvey, on behalf of himself," &c. This was a Spanish railway, and therefore under Spanish laws, which made the transfer of scrip legal, and hence the argu ment as to the illegality could not hold ; he also stood in the place of a subscriber. It was on the failure of the under taking that he first discovered what had been done, and the reason why he could not get an allotment was that the directors were retaining to themselves shares for the purpose of selling them to profit. Mr. WALKER was heard in reply. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that it seemed to him the case came to this very short point—viz., whether the thing projected by the directors was not, on the 4th of March, 1845, in - their knowledge wholly impracticable. This was very material, because the plaintiff in his bill stated, that having been influenced by the prospectuses which had been put forth, he purchased 100 shares, so that such right as lie might thus have to interfere came after the 4th of March, 1845. The bill charged that on the 14th of March, 1845, all the directors knew the fact that the difficulties to be over come were such as to render the formation of the railway to tally impracticable, and "'that the same then was totally im practicable," and it was singular that there was a similar charge in a preceding part of the bill. It was most positively alleged that it was not only a bubble, but known by the directors to be so before the plaintiff became a purchaser. There was a statement that by an article of the Spanish code the shares might be transferred, and by another that in an anonymous company a limited responsibility only was in curred by the shareholders; there was, however, no allega tion whatever averring what was the law of Spain. It then appeared that there were certain grants and concessions by the Spanish Government, and the Queen herself conde- _ . scended to become a patron, in company with a long list of Dukes, Marquises, and Counts. There was no allegation that the projection of a scheme known to be impracticable could be carried out any more by the law of Spain than that of England. It must be taken that at the time of the pro spectus being issued the directors knew that the railway was totally impracticable. If the plaintiff so stated it, he stated that the defendants were projecting a fraud— a mere bubble. He (the Vice-Chancellor) was not at liberty to give such relief as the plaintiff asked by his Bill. Nor was he at liberty now to say that all the relief he did ask was to go for nothing, and that he could merely recover the amount of the value of his shares from the defend ants. The demurrer must hold on this general ground ; it was not necessary to enter into the various other questions which had been made. If it had not appeared to be a fraud by the directors at the time of issuing the prospectus, the principle of " Hitchin v. Congreve" would apply. But for the purpose of overwhelming the directors with the charge of fraud the plaintiff had gone too far. It seemed extraordi nary that such a man as the plaintiff, and so well informed generally in public affairs, should have purchased shares in such a company as the present, and it must be taken that he was influenced by the prospectus. On this Bill, as it was constructed, no relief could be given, and therefore the de murrer must be allowed. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) IN THE MATTER OF SIR GEORGE STEPHEN ♦ND OTHERS, EX PARTE BASS. This petition has occupied the Court the greater part of three days. It is presented by Mr. Michael Thomas Bass, of Burton-upon-Trent, brewer, a shareholder in and member of the acting committee of Remington's Company, and it stated that in April, 1845, the London and Manchester Direct Independent Railway Company was projected, and was and is known as Remington's Company, which was duly and pro visionally registered, and a committee of management was appointed, and that Sir George Stephen and his partner, Mr. B. W. Hutchinson, and Messrs. Rogers, Cobbett, Wilson, and Owens, were appointed joint solicitors. That in May, 1845, the Direct London and Manchester Railway was pro jected, and was and is known as Rastrick's Company, and the committee of Remington's company wished. in October following to amalgamate the two, but were opposed by the solicitors, except Mr. Owens, who was employed in such amalgamation, which was effected on the 25th of that month. The terms of this were, that a joint committee of the two companies, of which the petitioner was a member, should apply to Parliament for an Act to construct Reming ton's line, and that Rastrick's line should be abandoned, and notice was given to the solicitors not to insert Parlia mentary notices relating to any application regarding Re mington's Company alone. On the Bth of November the act ing committee of Remington's Company paid 500/. to Messrs. Stephen and Hutchinson, 5001. to Mr. Owens, 500/. to Mr. Rogers, and 5001. to Messrs. Wilson and Cobbett, on ac count of costs, but no bills of costs had been delivered. On the 13th of November the solicitors (exept Mr. Owens) in serted the notices they had been directed not to insert, and were accordingly dismissed from their office of solicitors from that day. At this time the plans, sections, and books of re ference of Remington's line were in the hands of Stephen and Hutchinson and Rogers and Cobbett, and which it was necessary should be deposited at the office of the Board of Trade on or before the 30th, and after some negotiation the acting committee of Remington's line agreed to pay them 28,000/., exclusive of any costs due to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Owens, and accordingly a cheque for 18,0001. was drawn in favour of Stephen and Hutchinson, 5,000/. in favour of Mr. Rogers, and 5,0001. in favour of Mr. Cobbett, which, after some delay, caused by steps taken by Mr. Meteyard, one of the directors who signed them, were ultimately paid, and the plans, sections, and books of reference given up and duly de posited. Receipts in full of all demands were given for these sums, and added to them was a memorandum in these words : —"lt being clearly understood that all claims and questions are this day finally settled and for ever concluded between us and the London and Manchester Direct and Independent Railway Company, and we have severally given receipts in full of all demands; upon this understanding we promise to deliver a bill of costs with all practicable speed, the delivery of them hereafter being one of the conditions of the settle ment, and that settlement proceeding on the basis that all differences, whether pecuniary or otherwise, are finally and amicably adjusted by payment of the sums which we have respectively received. Dated this 22d day of November, 1845." The petition prayed the de livery of, and it was insisted by the counsel for the peti tioner that the solicitors were bound to deliver, a bill of all such fees and disbursements as they claimed to be due in all matters wherein they had been employed as solicitors for Remington's Company, and that the same ought to be taxed, the petitioner being willing and offering to pay what, upon taxation, should be reported due, and that the solici tors ought to account, not only for the original 2,0001., com posed of the four sums of 500/. each, but for the 28,0001. The principal respondents insisted that the costs were not such costs as were taxable under the Act 7 Victoria, relating to taxation of costs, for that the services rendered were not of a mere professional character, and that, if taxable at all, the Court had no jurisdiction to enter into the question by petition, but that the remedy, if any, of the petitioner was by bill in equity. Mr. W. T. S. Daniel, Mr. Rolt, and Mr. Speed supported the petition, which was opposed by Mr. Russell, Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Goodeve, for the principal re spondents; and by Mr. Wigram, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Willcock, Mr. Blunt, Mr. Chichester, Mr. Cairns, and Mr. Mee Mathew, for other parties. Mr. Rolt, who, at the opening of the petition, was a junior counsel for the petitioner, having during the hearing been created Queen's Counsel, waved his right to reply, and that duty was performed by Mr. Daniel. His HONOUR—Several points have been made and argued in support of this petition, on which I do not find it necessary , at present to pronounce any opinion. These points, and in deed every point of the case, have been exceedingly well argued by Mr. Daniel. It appears to me that there are very special and particular circumstances in the case, and upon the facts which are to be collected from the materials be fore me, I think it at least reasonably arguable that the solicitors had a fair ground for claiming, as they appear to have claimed, on the occasion of the discussions which preceded the severance of the connexion between them and the provisional committee, to be entitled, in honour, if not in law, and by a moral, if not a technical, equity, to a compensation or pecuniary advantage, independent of their professional demands or professional remuneration, and that the compensation or pecuniary advantage thus claimed was agreed to be included in, and was included in, the sum of 28,0001., not fraudulently. How this matter iu truth stands, I give no opinion beyond saying that I am not satisfied that the claim was made dishonestly, colourably, or 1 fictitiously. It may have been well or ill founded. It may be that it ought to be in some mode investigated ; it may stand or it may not abide the test of investigation. There may have been some degree of pressure; but still, as the money was paid in full of all demands, without a bill, and without any knowledge of the mere amount of costs claimed or due, it was not, I think, proved to have been obtained by fraud, and was, as to an undistinguished, unknown, and uncertain portion of it, paid upon a consideration, which I think that I am not, under this petition, authorised to pronounce dishonest or frivolous, or myself enabled to ques tion. It would, therefore, in my judgment, supposing that I were to order the delivery of a bill of costs, and to direct its taxation, and that such an operation should produce an amount short of 28,0001., be impossible for the Court in this particular case to pronounce judicially without a suit whe ther the difference ought to be returned. I ought not, therefore, I conceive, to do more on this petition than to direct it to stand over without prejudice to any suit, with liberty to institute a suit, and with liberty generally to apply. Whether a suit against these solicitors properly framed would succeed, I have an opinion which I will not state. It struck me at one time that the Court, under the present proceedings, might have laid hold of the written undertaking to deliver a bill of costs, worded as that undertaking is; but to order upon the ground of it the delivery of the bill for the purposes of taxation against these solicitors would be wrong, if not otherwise right. The avowed object of the present petitioner is taxation, and that these solicitors, if they have been overpaid, shall be compelled to refund. I cannot treat the bill of costs as re quired for any other than such purpose. I do not wish now to be understood as deciding that the petitioner on all the alleged grounds of opposition to lljy petition was right. I shall order the petition to stand over without prejudice to any suit; with liberty to institute a suit, and with liberty generally to apply. Solicitors for the petitioners, Blessrs. Lacy and Bridges ; for the respondents Messrs. Stephen and Hutchinson; for other parties served with the petition, Mr. J. Owens and Mr. J. Ravenscroft. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, Thursday. July 9. The Commission for the county of Herts was opened this morning at eleven o'clock by Mr. Baron Parke, and his Lordship and Mr. Justice Coltman afterwards at tended divine service. At one o'clock both Courts pro ceeded to business, Baron Parke presiding on the Civil Side, and Mr. Justice Coltman in the Caown Court. The cause-list is heavy for this county, there being 23 entered, seven or eight of which are special jury cases. The criminal calendar is light, there being only 14 pri soners. None of the cases disposed of during the day contained any feature of public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. A respectable-looking man, named John Edwards, de scribed as a tobacco-manufacturer out of business, and re siding in Clarence-terrace, Haggerstone, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having assaulted and dangerously wounded Ann Edwards, his wife, with a table knife. Mrs. Anne Grey, who stated herself to be the wife of a law writer, occupying apartments in the prisoner's house, de posed that between two and three o'clock on the preceding afternoon the prisoner, who had been absent all the morn ing, returned home, and, entering an apartment in which the witness and her servant were in conversation with his wife, sat down to dinner. The prisoner's wife, who bad already dined, was sitting on a sofa near the table, when some angry words ensued between them, and in the course of them the prisoner suddenly started up in a state of violent excitement, and flung the knife he had been using at his wife with such force that the point of the blade cut through the front of her ear, and remained fixed in her head. The injured woman instantly raised her hand, and made an ineffectual attempt to extract the knife, in which she cut her fingers to the bone, and the prisoner then hastened towards her and forcibly pulled out the wea pon, which was immediately followed by a frightful gush of blood, on seeing which he raised her in his arms and has tened with her out of the house to procure medical assist ance. After remaining at the house of a neighbouring sur geon for several hours, in such a state of exhaustion as to preclude her removal, she was at length conveyed in a cab back to her own residence and placed in bed, where she then remained in a very precarious condition. _ _ A medical certificate was handed to the Bench describing the woman's condition, and The prisoner, upon being called on for his defence, ex pressed the deepest contrition for the unfortunate occurrence, which he stated bad resulted solely from his having incau tiously flung the knife out of his hand, on being provoked by some exasperating language his wife had used towards him, and, declaring that he had not the slightest intention of doing her any injury, assured the magistrate that the transaction was purely accidental. Mr. Bmsonivt ordered him to be remanded to await the result of his wife's injuries, and peremptorily refused to accept bail for his future appearance._ bLERKENWELL. A woman named Keefe, of masculine figure and ferocious look, was charged with violently assaulting a poor man named Roche, who earns a scanty livelihood by selling fish. It appeared from the evidence that about a month ago the prisoner attacked the complainant in Gray's Inn-lane, and beat him dreadfully ; for so doing she was sentenced to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. This term expired yesterday, and she was no sooner liberated than she went to poor Roche's stall, knocked it down, threw his fish in the mud, and when he attempted to pick them up she attacked him, and struck him so violently on the head that he fell on his back in the street. Mr. BROUGHTON sentenced her to a month's imprison ment, and the gaoler was conducting her to the cell, when she, observing Roche's wife standing in the crowd, imme diately darted upon her, and before the gaoler could inter fere, struck her so violent a blow on the head that the poor old creature reeled back for several yards, and would have fallen down had not a spectator caught her in his arms. Mr. BaouGirroN ordered the prisoner to be brought back. She was no sooner placed at the bar than she exclaimed— " By G—, I will hang for them 1" Mr. BROUGHCON directed the gaoler to be sworn, who de• posed to the assault and to her having used the above-men. tioned threat. The prisoner—l repeat it. I will murder them. I know I shall be hanged for it, and a precious good job too. No matter what term you send me to prison for, the moment I come out I will go to Roche's house, break the windows, tear down their place, and knife themselves. I will, by G— I will. Waddington (the gaoler)—She is one of the most desperate characters in London. _ . . Prisoner—What is that to you ? If you send me to prison I'll pitch into the turnkeys right and left. Mr. BROUGHTON—Is the woman drunk or mad ? Waddington—She is neither. It is her terribly revengeful disposition. Prisoner (in a menacing manner) —You wretch. Mr. BROUGHTON—You — must pui, handcuffs on her if she is not quiet. Prisoner—Do your worst. I may as well live in one place as another. Bah Oh, if I knew this I'd play such a part before I came here as would give you all something to think of; I would, suppose I was to go down the string for it. Mr. BROUGHTON directed Mrs. Roche to come forward, and the poor woman was coming round, when the prisoner clinched her fist, and was evidently on the point of springing upon her, when Cole, a policeman, seized her. Mrs. oche gave her evidence ' and the magistrate directed the prisoner to be committed in default of bail. The gaoler was conducting her round to the cell, when, in spite of every precaution, she escaped from him, and sprang upon Roche who was standing near the fireplace. She seized him by the hair and dashed his head against the wall with great violence. She was, however, secured and brought back again, when she used the, most violent language and gestures Mr. BROUGTITON committed her for six months in default of bail, directing the gaoler to take care she did not lay vio lent hands upon herself. She was removed in the custody of four officers. WESTMINSTER. Mr. Somers, M.P. for Sligo, solicited the magistrate's in terference in the following matter : Mr. Somers said, that about three or four months ago, in taking his latchkey from his pocket, he dropped a 101. note in the street without being aware at the time of the loss. He was subsequently informed that an advertisement had appeared in a morning paper, stating that a 101. note had been found. It seemed that the note was picked up by a boy in the service of a shoemaker named Denham, in Medway street, who had immediately given it to his master. Although the circumstances connected with the losing and finding of the note so corresponded as to leave no reasonable doubt that the note belonged to Mr. Somers, who having received it in exchange for Irish money was not in a condition at the moment to give the number, although he could with some trouble have procured it, the shoemaker appeared very reluc tant to part with it, but ultimately did:so, when he (Mr. Somers) gave him 11. for the advertisement, although the expense might probably not have amounted to more than 3s. 6d., and a further sum of 21. as a reward for the boy, who had answered the questions put to him in a very straight forward and honest manner, and appeared to be a very in telligent lad. He, of course, did not like to give a boy such a sum of money, from a feeling that it might be misapplied, and, as the lad's clothes were in a very deplorable state, he had put it into the hands of his master, in order thatit might be applied to the host advantage for the benefit of the boy. He much regretted to hear that only 12s. of the money had been expended in clothing for the lad, and that shortly after wards he had taken the apparel away from him, and sent him about his business. He (Mr. Somers) thought it exceedingly unjust that the boy should have been so treated, and had done himself the pleasure of waiting upon the magistrate to ascertain whether the master could not be compelled to give up the clothes and the remainder of the money? The chief usher informed the magistrate that there had been a summons taken against the shoemaker for detaining the boy's clothes, but it had been dismissed, in consequence of his asserting that the money had been given to him by the gentleman for his own own use. Mr. BURRELL observed that it was quite clear that he had no power to interfere about the money, nor did he think he could with respect to the clothes, the case having been once heard and disposed of. He would, however, turn it over in his mind, and see whether anything could be done in the matter. _ _ _ _ Mr. Somers said he should feel very much obliged if he would. WANDSWORTH. Mary North, aged eighteen, servant to Mr. Barker, the coach proprietor, was placed in the dock, before Mr. Paynter, for final examination, upon a charge of having administered a quantity of oil of vitriol to Mary Ann Barker, an infant aged only four months, with intent to murder. The case bas excited an extraordinary interest in Wands worth, inasmuch as the accused bore a very good character, and there was an appal apt absence of all motive for her committal of the crime. A solicitor, who described himself as a friend of the accused's family, attended to watch the case on her behalf. Mrs. Barker, the wife of Mr. C. Barker, having been sworn, stated that the prisoner,was her servant of all-work, and that it was part of her duty to take care of the infant child, which was four months old on the sth inst. On Wednesday the Ist inst. ' between eleven and twelve o'clock, she sent the prisoner for some ingredients to make harness blacking, one of them being oil of vitriol. Immediately after dinner wit ness commenced mixing the ingredients in a large pan in the washhouse, and the last thing she put in was oil of vitriol. The bottle contained four ounces, and she used about half. The prisoner handed her the bottle and . remarked, " What dangerous stuff it was, and that Leech (meaning the oilman) would i not let her have it without tellin g . him who it was for." Witness said of course not, it was a deadly poison, and he could not tell what she wanted it for; he could not know whether she was going to take it herself, or administer it to any one else. The prisoner could read print and writing, and the bottle was labelled " Vitriol, poison." After witness had used the vitriol she gave the bottle to the prisoner, and told her to put it on the high shelf, where the children could not get to it. Witness after wards turned away and left the washhouse; therefore she could not say whether she did as she was told or not. Nothing particular occurred till the evening, when she was sitting alone in the parlour a little before seven o'clock, when the prisoner came in with the child in her arms, and a tea cup. She said she thought that baby had the stomach-ache, and a little aniseed would ease it. Witness then unlocked the secretaire and took out a bottle of aniseed ; she put about a teaspoonful into the cup, and a lump of sugar, and then put back the bottle and locked the secretaire. 'Witness then went into the kitchen with the cup, and poured some hot water in it. She afterwards gave the infant some of the mixture, and left the cup containing the remainder on the table. Witness told the prisoner to walk up and down eldest nN d vi e t s h t the child, and returned to the parlour, leaving her daughter (between 10 and 11 years of age) and the other children in the kitchen. There were no white marks about it after it had taken the aniseed; it had been vaccinated a week previously, and was very restless. Not more than five minutes could have elapsed when witness heard her daughter sa y, " Mary, don't hurt baby ; " and immediately afterwards the prisoner called her, and, as she was approaching, said, ." Oh, dear me, ma'am, what is the matter with baby?" She could not say whether the prisoner was coming towards her when she said so. Witness took the child from her, and observed that its eyes were strangely agitated, its mouth and tongue foaming and swollen, and she exclaimed, " 0, my God ! what is the matter with baby ? this can never be the aniseed." Witn ess did not remember whether the prisoner said anything, for she was almost mad.. She told her to run for the doctor, and:Mr. Howell came in in a few minutes. She showed him the infant, and asked him what was the matter with it; and Mr. Howell asked her if she bad any vitriol in the house. In consequence of what Mr. Howell said, she afterwards went to look for the vitriol, and found it on a lower shelf in the washhouse, where, she let it re main until the next morning, when Mr. Tatham, the part ner of Mr. Howell, asked for it. She thenAcked it up, and subsequently delivered it to Inspector Busain, as likewise the napkin produced. The aniseed was taken away by M r . Howell, and Mr. Tatham brought it back the next morning. The child did not vomit until medicine had been given, and what ievomitedwitness preserved. The cotton gown produced Ole had =that day; it is marlfed in various placealrithbrowu -I spots, and there are also stains from vomiting. The pri' soner would have been two years in her service next 8 1 - 1 " chaelmas • she intended to pa r t with her th en , b u t she had not told her so. She did not consider the prisoner was fond of children. One day when witness went to town the pri sonar locked the children in the Barden, and left the house for a considerable time. She had telt found fault with he r that day. Elizabeth Barker, aged ten years, sta,,, that after her mother had given the baby the aniseed she c.. au k u p N ebst 4 remained in the cup. Prisoner went with the b,t iv i n to the washhouse when her mother had left the kitchg... an d in two or three minutes witness heard the baby Mat4ng wheezing noise, and she called out, " Mary, don't hurt he baby." When the prisoner came into the kitchen she l'O` wiping baby's face with a napkin; her face was all Ol t white, and witness said, " Look at baby, Mary," and pl . ': so.ler then called her mother. Witness did not know villa' became of the cloth. Mr. James Howell, surgeon, stated, that on Wednesd 39 evening, the Ist instant, he went to Mr. Barker's house. Th e prisoner fetched him. She told him the child was da l '' gerously ill in consequence of something that had been giv e.„ mouth' it. He found the child in her mother's arms. The prisoner was present. Mrs. Barker showed him the child's which seemed covered with milk; the whole membrelf, lining the mouth and tongue appeared of a white pee" colour. Witness asked if anything had been given to the child ? and Mrs. Barker said she bad given it a small quaf tity of aniseed water, and showed him the bottle out it'. which it was taken. He gave the bottle to his partner, rid Tatham, to be anal zed. y zed. Witness asked if an vitriol h a been given to the child? and Mrs. Barker and th e paisone ., i : both said nothing h a d be e n given it except the anise e . ° l Witness aske.l the prisoner if she had been using for the purpose of cleaning the furniture or other u tensil f l and she said, "No." He then asked if there was any in the house ? and one or other said, "No." There 1 7 . : a burn just below the c hild' s un d er lip, avd from that and IP: appearance of the mo u th, an d o th er indic..ations, he was 53 , tisfied that oil of vitriol had b een g i ven . Witness then o r d sired the prisoner to go home with him, which she did; and he sent her back with a mixture of magnesia, soda, a P , water, of which he desired a dessert spoonful to be Skip every five or ten minutes, There was nothing deleterious the aniseed water. The top of the neck of the bottle tric e have been introduced into the child's mouth, and caused t appearances spoken of. -4,100 Mr. Tatham, the last witness's partner, gave air similar evidence; but added, that the mother gave hi® basin containing a quantity of brown matter, which child had vomited, and in which he at once detected vitrTe Ilis opinion had since been confirmed by Mr. Taylor , ': 5 chymist and lecturer on medical jurisprudence at G°: t b Hospital, who had analyzed it, as also the cloth, and in b ° ,, i of which he had detected sulphuric acid. The prisoner e ta much much agitated, but he thought it as from ana l respecting the child. The infant he now considered out danger. t Mr. PAYNTER said, he had carefully perused th e rePor -0 Mr. Taylor's experiments, and it was extremely well dr 3 t up. It could not be admitted as evidence for the Crown, could the prisoner's legal adviser see it. Mr. Taylor iv° have to be subpoenaed to attend the trial. Inspector Busain stated, that in consequence of info r° so lion he received he went on Thursday last to Mr. Barlo r i o i house, and received from Mrs. Barker the bottle of ' Tit o and napkin produced. He afterwards went down into, 4, kitchen and saw the prisoner. Before he apprehende d the he asked her if she knew anything of the injury whic ; l3 t it baby had received in the mouth, and she said " cautioned her how she answered any questions he put tOiPsbe as, from information he had received, he was convinc e d must know something about it, and she had admini ste r something to the child. On the way to the station-boutoa said she knew nothing at all about it, and she had give n s baby nothing. The napkin he produced was stained 1 1 4 .• now is when he first had it, and was not so stained in C quence of his having wrapped it round the bottle. or Mr. PAYNTER asked the prisoner if she wished to 84Y - thing? 008 .10' , The prisoner —What I wish to say is, that part has been sworn is true, and part is not true. S ue checked by her solicitor from making any further stated 0 Mr. PAYNTER said it was his duty to send the prison s trial on the capital charge of administering a certain de iii poison, called oil of vitroil, to Mary Anne Barkert;„o o intent to murder. She would be committed for trial, sPott the girl's character had been spoken of very highly,, friends, he would take two sureties in 1001. each for pearance. 1(110 The bail was not forthcoming, and the prisoner , , ] became much affected, was committed to Horsemong er ''' gaol.
