Lord Jourt RUSSELL has just announced, in the House of Commons, that it is the intention of the Government to withdraw the Irish Arms Bill. On Saturday the British Possessions Bill was read a third time in the Commons, and passed. Previous, however, to this consummation of the free-trade colonial policy, Lord G. BENTINCK endeavoured to retaild the measure by another of those vexatious amendments for the employment of which the pro tectionist representatives have acquired such an un• enviable notoriety. As a testimony of the utter futility of these interruptions, we may instance the division by which the proposition of the Noble Member for Lynn—namely, that the Bill "should be read a third time that day three months"—was nega tived. A majority of thirty-nine in a House of merely fifty-five testified the impatience of Parlia ment under this most irksome, because most impotent system of opposition. We have characterised Lord G. BENrzscx's amendment as vexatious, and any one p,►ssessing little better than a pudding for brains would, on a dispassionate perusal of • the dis cussion which was evoked by that amend Ineuti-zfeel • himself compelled to siciwowledge it to bepeculiarly and intensely vexatious. Inso much are we impressed with this conviction, that we cannot but think Mr. ESCOTT was justified in charging the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn with inconsistency in the course then pursued for the purpose of embarrassing the Government. Every one, we take it, has a correct notion of what Parliamentary inconsistency really is. Amidst all the bickerings of faction, and all the potterings of party politicians, that single thing has never elicited a►ny dissentience of opinion. It is not a vague idea which may be distorted by an adroit quirk ; it admits of no misapprehension from the utmost obtuseness of intellect, Inconsistency to the Conservative is iden tical - with inconsistency to the Liberal ; it assumes no novel or Protean aspect, whether viewed from the Ministerial benches or the Opposition benches, or from the pleasant locality below the gangway. To proclaim for one principle and vote for another, is inconsistency ; to avow such political doctrines one evening and the very opposite the next, is inconsis tency. It is, we humbly conceive, inconsistent to announce oneself an advocate for such commercial justice to our colonial possessions as we believe may most certainly ensure their mercantile pros perity, and immediately afterwards to thrust upon the attention of the Legislature the advi sability of passing an Act of the most monstrous and manifest injustice to those colonies. Such incon sistency is that with which we impeach Lord GEORGE BENTINCK• To skin his proposition of its trans parent sophistry, and to produce it before the pub lic in its nakedness, it literally amounts to the following :—".Because we have been unable to administer our old quack panacea against the disorders incident to colonial commerce, and because you have placed the colonists under a wholesome and natural rezime, let us administer to them a dose of the most deadly poison. England is to be allowed, so it appears, to purchase her corn and her sugar and what not in the cheapest markets; don't let her colonists purchase their manufactures according to a similar discretion. England is no longer compelled under a heavy penalty ofduties to buy timber from the Canadas ; nevertheless Canada must still be compelled to buy calicoes at Manchester, and cutlery at Sheffield, and needles . at Whitechapel, and gloves at Woodstock, no matter how much cheaper or how much better the commodities which might be purchased elsewhere. The exports of the colonies will henceforth have to compete in cheapness and excellence with the whole world ; their imports must, however, be forced upon them at any extortionate price which cupidity aided by monopoly may devise. We are, upon my honour, very fond of our colonial posses sions, very fond indeed ; and as a testimony of our regard to their prosperity, we here solemnly adjure you to accede to our entreaty. They are now com pelled to send us good, cheap things, let us compen sate them fur that concession, and at the same time evince our unselfish regard to their interests, by enabling ourselves to send them bad, dear things in return !" Silly and preposterous as these expressions may appear, they are literally the gist of this re doubtable proposition from the Noble Lord the Mem ber for Lynn. What by an egregious misnomer has been hitherto designated " Protection to our Colo nies " being now virtually abolished, the Noble Lord sagaciously demands the retention of that so called "Protection" to the manufacturers by whom those unfortunate colonies are supplied. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK always has an accumula tion of the most astonishing and unheard-of statistics, which he introduces for the purpose of bolstering up his very eccentric schemes. Statistics, like the ar mour of a minor theatre, very showy, and apparently trustworthy at the distance, but on examination, all brown paper and tinfoil. On Saturday, for example, on introducing his amendment, the Noble Lord presented to the House an appalling narrative of the condition of the manufacturing districts. According to the Noble Lord, the ruler-turners had received a heartless intimation of a decrease in wages consequent . upon a decrease in the price of provisions. According to him, farmers would buy no more fire-irons or pickaxes, be cause wheat was falling to 403. a quarter : divers millowners had proclaimed a reduction of five per cent. upon the wages of their workmen : circulars were being issued by influential firms bewailing the miserable stagnation of trade. That was the lugu- Wives ptuitnauta dloplayed o.' Llle Clouse Of (Ammons by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, and unquestion ably it was enough to make even the most sanguine minds despondent. Fortunately, how ever, a Member was present infinitely more cognisant of the condition of the manufactories than the Noble Lord, the representative of Lynn. And not only did the Hon. Member for Durham cast dis credit upon the assertions of Lord - Geottoa, but he plainly and definitely contradicted each of his com prehensive statements. Wages had not been reduced; the labouring classes were never in the enjoyment of more comfort; provisions were cheap, and employment was abundant. Those were the revelations made by Mr. BRIGHT in regard to the manufactories of Lancashire and Cheshire. We suspect the manufactories described by Lord G. BENTINCK were literally the manufactories of his imagination. Nevertheless, BIG HT and MIGHT appear now to be co-operating in the legislation of this great em pire; and, as we have previously congratulated the inhabitants of the mother-country upon the realisation of an equitable freedom to trade, so do we now congratulate the inhabitants of her colonial possessions upon the adjustment of a benefit which had previously been only half obtained. In the frivolous amendment of Lord GEOMGE BENTINCII. we almost fancy we can perceive something more than mere obstinacy. Did not the Noble Lord intend to take a sweet revenge upon the manufacturing dis tricts by cursing them with the perpetuation of the protective system ? The memorial just presented to the Irish Govern ment by the leading magistrates and clergymen of the county Cavan, is deserving of immediate atten tion—of the promptest consideration. It is gratify.. ing to find men of the most opposite political feelings at length uniting together, and joining zealously in their exertions for the abolition of that which is now admitted to be a most serious evil, leading to the worst results, and keeping up those religious dissen- sions and animosities that have ever been pro. , ductive of the most injurious consequences. Amongst our Irish brethren we find Lord FARNHAM, formerly one of the grand officers and most influential members of the Orange Institution, one of the chief resident landed proprietors in the county of Cavan, co-operating with Dr. BROWNE, the Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese, end impressing, in the most forcible manner, on the minds of the Execu tive, the absolute, the imperative necessity of urging Parliament to pass an Act against processions of all descriptions whatever, stating that the excitement which unhappily exists in several parts of the country has arisen from the most trivial causes, but still that the most fatal consequences may ensue; that there is still time, during the present session, to pass the necessary enactment, remedyna fores w the e h evil.have v e already andlnuardgdinitgioint toa s t t h h e as o e d y w hose names mentioned, this memorial has been most numerously and influentially signed by magistrates, clergymen, and gentry of all shades and varieties of politics, and we sincerely hope that not a single day will be lost in submitting to the Legislature a measure calculated to effect this object. The county of Cavan has long been the theatre of those unmeaning and mischievous processions. In that district parties are perhaps more evenly balanced, more near equality as to physical force, than in any other in Ireland. The Orange party lost no opportuuity of swelling their own ranks ; neutrality was not allowed on either side. You must select the banner under which to fight, and strenuously combat on all occasions. It was impossible to conciliate the good opinion of the opposite party ; the terms Orange and Protestant be came synonimous, and the more violent the denun ciation, the more outrageous the insult, the more bitter the hatred entertained and exhibited towards his Roman Catholic brethren, the more popular did the exhibitor become amongst his own party. The man w h o was not with them was against them, but he who could succeed in making himself peculiarly obnoxious to the Roman Catholic party, thereby immediately attained power and influence amorgst his own. On the other side also parties were not idle. If Orange lodges subsisted, so was there a Ribbon Association THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1846. organised, and offences that disgraced the country had their origin in the party feuds, the religious dif ferences thus created and kept up ; secret signs and pass words were made use of, by which the members of either confederacy became known to their associates, and the ignorance of these secrets too frequently was avenged by the most outrageous assaults on the person unable duly to respond on being interrogated. Not a meeting could take place, whether for business or pleasure without the public peace being broken, the public tranquillity dis turbed by contests and fights between the opposing factions—human life too frequently became the sacrifice, and riot and bloodshed affixed a stain on the locality. Of late years the superior classes have seen the folly of these exhibitions. On the passing of the Act for the Suppression of Secret So cieties (one of the most beneficial, for Irelatid gene rally, that could bee brought forward), the Grand Orange Lodge, in obedience to the dictates of the law, declared the dissolution of the society ; and the better disposed and more prudent of its members withdrew from all further communion therewith. Unfortunately the more violent members, who were well aware of the influence and power which the system gave them among their poorer brethren, did not exhibit the same obedience to the law, the same wise submission ; they set aside the opinion of the majority, adopted steps to evade the law that pronounced their body an illegal one, and throughout the entire country denounced the seceders as traitors to the cause : there was no longer anything of discretion or judgment in the pro ceedings of the society ; those qualified to counsel were no longer of them, and their every act exhibited the grossest folly, the most unceasing obstinacy and mental blind ness. The Party Processions Act for a time mitigated the evil, but it was not without the greatest exertions on the part of the Executive that the processions were kept down. Strange as it may appear, vast bodies of the people were prepared to undergo severe punishments and stringent penalties, rather than consent to refrain from the comme moration of events long since past and gone— the celebration of the triumph of principles that happily no longer prevail. A juster, a more equitable principle has been enunciated. Ireland is henceforward to be placed on a footing of perfect equality with England in her civil, political, and mu nicipal institutions. No man hereafter is to be the sufferer fcr the religious feelings he may conscien tiously entertain, and every man will be allowed to wor ship his CREATOR in the manner which he deems the most correct, and opinion will no longer be controlled by penal enactments or civil or religious disabilities. It is, then, the duty of a Government, extending tole rance to all, to take care that insults shall no longer be offered to any, and to interpose their authority for the prevention of such ridiculous, but injurious proceedings. In the language of the County Cavan memorial, there is yet time, during the present ses sion, for the passing of such enactment. We cannot sup pose that opposition would be offered from any quarter, and if it should be neglected, much mischief may occur during the ensuing recess, which it may take many years to remedy, and a serkus responsibility will be incurred by the Government. We place every confidence in the good intentions of our present Administration, and we sincerely hope that measures will be adopted by which the majesty of the law may be vindicated, the peace of the country may be preserved. The following is an extract of a letter from Con stantinople of the 29th of July : " Great changes are Foot] expected in the Turkish Ca binet. The present Minister of Finance, Hafiz Pacha, is to be replaced the first, and then the Grand Seraskier, Kosrew Pacha. The successor to Hafiz is not yet known, but for the post of Seraskier, it is Riza Pacha, who is gene rally designated. It may even be admitted as certain that Riza Pacha, in place of being named Minister of Finance, would have been at once appointed Seraskier, had it not been for the arrival of Mehemet Ali. You are aware that the Viceroy of Egypt and Kosrew Pacha are old enemies ; the dismissal of Kosrew occurring at the same moment as the arrival of the Pacha of Egypt would have been interpreted as a desire to flatter his sentiments, and that is what the Government wishes to avoid. The dismissal of Hafiz and Kosrew will net certainly be disagreeable to Reschid for since his accession to the Ministry he has constantly been on bad terms with these two Ministers. They belong to the old school of corruption, and each act of their life is in flagrant opposition to the principles which Reschid Pacha at present represents. In Turkey, M. de Bourqueney had assured Sir S. Canning that he agreed perfectly with him in the pro test which he had made, as senior of the diplomatic corps. against the nomination of fitza Paella to the finance depart ment. The Internuncio of Austria also used strong language on this occasion." Letters have been received from Rome to the 3d of August. Several towns having petitioned the POPE to with draw from the Jesuits the monopoly of education, which they have hitherto enjoyed, his Holiness decided that, at the re-opening of the schools in November secular priests, chosen amongst th os e w h o o ff er satis factory guarantees of morality and capacity, should replace the Jesuits, wherever the mayors of towns and bishops should think it advisable. This declaration of the POPE produced such a sensation, even amongst the people of Rome, that his Holiness, in proceeding to the Jes uits' church, on St. Ignatius' day, to hear mass, was greeted with cries of "Accept nothing from these men, they are quite capable of giving you it boccone !" (poison.) His Holiness has dismissed M. MARINI, the Governor of Rome, for having attempted to prevent the director of the opera from representing The Clemency of Titus. The Pore has sent a Vicar-General to Imola, retaining to himself the title of Bishop of that city, in order to be able to devote the revenues of the see to the relief of the poor and the completion of the cathedral. In order to be able to become acquainted with the claims of persons unable to approach his person, Pius IX. has had put up, near his palace, a box for the reception of letters, of which he alone has the key. The German Diet, at present sitting at Frankfort, will first of all take into consideration, a project of law for the regulation of the censorship of the press, and afterwards will proceed to the consideration of the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Accounts from Berlin state that the labours of the Congress of the Zollverein, sitting in that city, were nearly terminated, but that the difficulties raised in the last Congress of Carlsruhe have been renewed, and no solution could consequently be effected. The southern states of Germany had protested anew against all increase in the tariff duties on cotton threads, whilst the northern states claimed that augmentation as indispensable for the prosperity of their manu factures. The Prussian Government, thus placed between the prohibitive system, and the system of free trade, will, it is said, confine itself to publishing, after the close of the session of the Congress, an im partial statement of the debates, in order to prove to the merchants, manufacturers, and agriculturists of Germany, that the long desired solution of these questions can only be arrived at when the general interest shall have succeeded in triumphing over pri vate interests. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Queen, which arrived on Sunday, intelligence has been received from Lisbon, of the 10th. The concentration of the Spanish army on the Portu guese frontier had excited considerable alarm in Lisbon, where it was not doubted but that the real object of the threatened invasion was to promote a counter-revolution in favour of the brothers CABRAL. The Portuguese Government had sent a few troops to the frontier, and were fitting out some vessels of war, but their main reliance is on England, for they feel convinced that the British Government will not permit Spain to invade the Portuguese territory on any of the pretexts hitherto put forward. The Miguelites, meanwhile, are endeavouring to turn any confusion that may arise to their own profit. General MACDONNELL, an active Miguelite partisan, was known to be in the province of Tras-os-Montes, endeavouring to excite an outbreak. Some of the officers of the Albion have, at the request of Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, been dispatched to the frontier to observe the movements of the Spanish troops. Their presence will afford a guarantee to the Portu guese that England will not quietly allow Spain to invade their country. Great complaints were made in Lisbon of the scarcity and dearness of bread and oil. A monetary crisis seems at hand. The discount on Bank of Lisbon notes had at one time risen as high as 15 per cent. The bank directors have, however, issued notice to the following effect 1. That all Perseus waling te capital* the ilotee they . _ " hold will be allowed interest at the rate of 9 per cent., pay able quarterly. 2. That all the notes in circulation will be paid within one year. 3. That the bank will give in exchange for its notes equi valent value in inscriptions of the public debt, shares of com panies, and other pledges which it holds in deposit, all which are to be put up to auction for eight days. The discount was in consequence brought down to 6 per cent., which was the rate at the time the packet left. Madrid papers to the 10th August have been re- ceived. The return of NARVAEZ to Madrid may be shortly expected. The Esperanza states that his petition to the QUEEN for permission to return is warmly sup ported by the French Government, and therefore there is every reason to believe that it will be granted. Several persons have been arrested at Cordova, charged with being concerned in a Carlist conspiracy. The .E'co del Comerio repeats the rumour that the Government had ordered all' the troops to retire from the Portuguese frontier, and the Clamor Publico again asserts that GONZALES 13aAvo has been recalled. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 10.—Three per Cents., for Cash, 34i; Five per Cents., 22k; Debt, without interest, 6i. Exchange on London, 36i. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The KING arrived at the Tuileries on Friday night. His MAJESTY will open the Chambers in person on Monday. On the anniversary of his accession to the throne his MAJESTY pardoned 502 criminals, of whose conduct in prison favourable reports had been received. M. SAUZET is the Ministerial candidate for the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. " We trust," says the Journal des Debuts, " That no member of the majority will attempt to create a division by supporting any other candidate, which certainly would lead to no result. M. Sauzet is the candidate of the Conservative party, and to vote for any other Deputy would be voting for a candidate of the Opposition. Let every one, therefore, make a sacrifice of his pretensions and private preferences! There are, no doubt, amongst the majority several eminent men who might divide the suffrages of the Chambers, if M. Sauzet was not, as it were, in possession of them. It is of importance to-day that the first political vote of the Conservative party should be an unanimous one. We are bound in justice to declare, that though other Depu ties might make as good presidents as M. Sauzet, yet the Chamber would not easily find a more faithful and more devoted one."• • On Friday evening an accident of a trifling nature occurred on the Versailles Railway. The following account is from the Gazette des Tribunaux " The mail train from Paris to Rouen leaves at twenty five minutes past seven, and the train for St. Germains at twenty-five minutes to eight. The Rouen train had scarcely left the station when the engineer, perceiving that the engine worked badly, stopped at the Batignolles, either to change it or take a second engine. The conductor of the Versailles train, which started five minutes after the Rouen train, having perceived the signal for stopping, slackened his speed, and stopped the train a short distance from the Rouen one. But the train of St. Germains coming up, and the engineer being unable to arrest its progress in time, both came in violent contact with each other. We have not yet learnt the full particulars of the accident, but from what has already reached us it would appear that the passengers escaped with only slight contusions. A single passenger alone was se riously wounded, and which entirely resulted from his leaping from the top of a carriage. As soon as the alarm and con fusion had subsided, the passengers resumed their seats in the carriages, and the three trains continued their course." HENRY has been removed to the room occupied by LECOSITE in the Luxembourg. A spy of Ann-EL-KADER was seized and executed at Mascara on the 26th ult. Algeria was tranquil, but the inhabitants and troops were suffering dreadfully for want of provisions. The latest accounts from Algiers are to Aug. 10. Saturday being the Feast of the Assumption, the i3ourse remained closed, and no business was done in the Passage de I'Opera.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT The tenth sessions in the present mayoralty were opened this morning at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, be fore the Recorder, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and Al dermen Wilson, Challis, and Hughes. The calendar on this occasion presents a heavy list, there being in all 245 prisoners committed for trial on various charges during the present sessions. Among the prisoners waiting for trial there are—for ar son 1, burglary 5, bigamy 1, uttering counterfeit coin 17, cutting end wounding 8, embezzlement and forgery 20, horse-stealing 2, larceny of various descriptions 149, man slaughter 2, demanding money with menaces I, misdemeanor 13, murder 2, administering poison 1, rape 1, receiving stolen goods 9, robbery 10; 37 of the prisoners have been committed in London, 164 in Middlesex, 3 in Essex, 6 in Kent, and 35 in Surrey. The RECORDER, when the grand jary had been called and sworn, addressed to them the following charge :—Gen tlemen of the grand jury, the number of prisoners whose names appear on the calendar, standing charged with dif ferent offences, is 245, and there is some reason to expect that in the course of the present week that number will be augmented to somewhere about 300 or more, at least before the termination of your labours. I am afraid, therefore, that you must expect to be employed for some time with that public business on which you are about to enter, but it is a duty from which you will not shrink— a duty !devolved upon you by law in connexion with this Court. The list presents a great num ber of offences, many of them of a very serious nature, and of deep public importance. There are two for murder; several, at least six, for cutting and maiming, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm; no less than three for manslaughter, or that criminal act involving the taking away of life, which only comes short of the crime of murder; one for rape; three for assault, with intent to commit rob bery; seven for robbery, besides other important charges, involving the use of violence in the commission of the offences. It is lamentable to find that offences, crimes implying violence in the commission of them, and the crimes of cutting and wounding with intent to do some bodily harm, appear to be on the increase— certainly they are not diminishing. Within the last few years, the use of the knife in cases of provocation and quarrel, a practice at one time almost unknown in this country—the use of dangerous weapons for offensive pur poses, instead of having recourse to mere bodily strength, is become unhappily rife. Where the cases appear to you on the evidence to be fully made out, you will feel it your duty to put them in the course of further inquiry. On the charges which will be presented to you of cutting and wounding with intent to do some grievous bodily harm, I have but one re mark to make, and it is this, that if you shall find that a person receiving provocation employs the knife or other in strument in such a way as leads you to put the con struction upon such conduct that the party intended to do that which, according to the evidence, has taken effect—if, for example, you find a person striking with a drawn knife, and the; weapon taking effect on the body of another, you will put the entire charge in the course of further investigation. But if, on the other hand, in a charge for cutting and wounding, the jury shall see that cir cumstances will warrant it, you will discharge the prisoner of the violent intention, and commit him to take his trial for the aggravated assault. Gen tlemen, your duty m ere ly i s t o p u t th e ca s e i n the course of further inquiry, it is for the petty jury to try whether or not the offence charged against the prisoner has been committed by him, you have only to inquire as to the fact of dangerous weapons having been used, and whether they were used with the intention of doing bodily harm, and to send the case for further investigation accordingly. Among the cases of murder, one, unhappily, is a charge of child murder. There is nothing in that case which is peculiar; handkerchiefs were found on the mouth or throat of the child, then dead. These suspicious circumstances would na turally excite a doubt whether in case the child had been still born the party would have resorted to that which, if the child had been alive, would have the effect of putting it to death. I have said that, not to prejudice you, but that you should put the case in the way of fuller inquiry, and I say no more, because they are circumstances which may receive some answer when they come to be investigated. But the fact of a child having been found dead under these cir cumstances is enough for you sending it before a petty jury. There is another charge of murder—one which will require some investigation on your part. The first question which will occur in that case i s , h ow the party me t with her death, whether it was b y a fall, involving no o th er person in the guilt, or whether it was by violence, inflicted by another; whether it occurred through the vio lence of another throwing her down stairs, or from herself falling down stairs. The next question, if you find that the death has been occasioned by another party, will be, whether the evidence points to any individual, and whether there be sufficicient connexion between the party who did the deed and the person charged in that evidence. The safer course will be if the evidence is not ,sufficiently clear, to throw out the bill until more evidence can be subsequently got, for if you put the prisoner on his trial upon evidence which will not bear a conviction, and the bill be thrown out, it will be very iuconvenientif other and clearer evidence should afterwards arise. But if you see that there is sufficient evidence of both, you will put it in the course of further inquiry. I have said that because you ought not to inquire merely into the cause of d ea th, and, supposing that there was enough to satisfy you on that point, so to send it before another Jury ; you must be satisfied that the party died by violence, and that that violen ce was inflicted by the prisoner. I have read the depositions very carefully. Ido not presume to form any definite opinion on the case, but I recommend you, if you shall find that the cause of death is something beyond the party dead, and that the evidence points out the person who is charged as being that cause, then you will put it in the course of further investigation. If you are not satisfied fully on these poi n t s it w ill b e b etter t o l ea ve it to the pos sibility of more ev id ence ar i s i ng, t h an t o se nd the case on to meet with an acquittal on unsatisfactory evidence. There are either three or four cases of manslaughter; two of them of a len serious aspect. In the case where a blow hav ing been applied to a child resulted in the death of the child, the question will be whether the violence is of such a character, that the person i s c h argea bl e with an unlawful act, and hat of such a kind, towards a child, as will involve the crime of manslaughter. Another of these charges arose out of very peculiar circumstances and was of the utmost public importance. The party is charged with negligence in the conducting of an engine, so that he ran into another train, to the great danger of life to many in that train. The inquiry here was, whether the person appointed to conduct the en gine, seeing the usual signals, ought to have increased his caution, and whether he neglected that caution and conducted himself recklessly, and with such rash. nes! as would amount to criminal negligence, and, therefore, i involving the crime of manslaughter. I need not state to you that where persons having the care of engines, with the lives of individuals depending upon these engines, and with the usual signals given for precaution, neglect these signals when given, and by thatcrirninel negligence are the cause of death to one or more individuals—these persons so acting are chargeable with manslaughter. I recommend you to put this case in the course of further investigation ; it is enough fur you if, when warnings have been given, by signals with which the party is acquainted, these war ings have been neglected and the party has thereby become the cause of death. On the charges for robbing there is no thing to require the construction of a point of law ; they are charges of great public moment, but still the question is rather one of fact than of law, and you will find no difficulty in the application of the law. It, however, I am mistaken, and anything does arise to perplex you, the Court, however constituted, will be ready to afford you any aid, and there is a most able and intelligent officer of the Court, who will always be happy to lend his assistance to the grand jury on questions of law or evidence. I have only to remark on the case of arson, that the charge is not for feloniously setting fire to a house in the possession of another party, not for exposing the life of any party to immi nent danger, but for setting fire to a house in the occupation of the party himself, with the intention to defraud another; that other being an insurance company where the property was insured. You will haye to inquire whether the house was accidentally on tire, or whether fire was set to it ; whether the house itself—the frame-work and timbers being on fire— was in this condition by the wilful act of any person, and if so, whether the circumstantial evidence, the fact of his having an interest in the destruction of the property, and his conduct on the occasion, be such as to lead you to suspect the person charged with the act. If you find this, you will put it in the course of further investigation by trial before a petty jury. Already I have saiu that aid is within your reach if any difficulty occur, and I think I need hardly repeat what you yourselves must have heard or seen, that you must make no presentment but by a majerity of your number. It is necessary that 12 oat of 23 make it, as the law does not allow less than the number on a petty jury to find a bill against any prisoner committed for trial. I am sure that you will not dismiss any case without making sufficient inquiry into the particulars of the evidence • and on the other hand, gentl emen , if you are sat i s fi e d w i t h the evidence given by the first two or three witnesses, it will not be necessary to press it further. I now dismiss you to the discharge of your duties. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Fitzgerald was charged with creating a disturbance at the Boar's Head public-house, Clare -street, Clare-market. The whole case arose out of a question of right. The coin plainant, a ➢lr. Davis, said that he had purchased the house of the former landlord, a Mr. Hawker, and produced an agreement and some receipts in proof of the sale. On the other hand, the defendant produced a lease, an agreement, and a license (which had been transferred to him), iu proof of a prior sale. Mr. Davis stated that the prisoner and his wife came to the house on Saturday—he being then in possession —and brought with them " half a dozen Irishmen." They said that the house was theirs, and the goods and fixtures also, they having bought them of Mr. hawker; and they were determined to take and maintain possession. They remained until a policeman came up and took the prisoner and his wife into custody. (They were both taken to the station-house, and were got out. on bail, but Mrs. Fitzgerald being ill and unable to attend, it was agreed that the case should proceed in her absence.) A long, and by no means orderly discussion, here took place between the complainant and defendant, and their re spective solicitors, in the course of which it appeared that there were three boxes on the premises which were admitted to be the prisoner's property, and it was agreed that they should be sent by ti..e complainant to his (prisoner's) address. Mr. HENRY said that this was a case of trespass on a claim of right. The prisoner had clearly no right to force an entry, whether he was or was not the true owner of the house. He should have taken legal means to eject the complainant and gain possession ; but as it was a case of trespass, he could not adjudicate. A civil action might, perhaps, be brought. The prisoner was discharged. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. • There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa turday, but without any alteration in prices. Shares were firm generally. It is understood that the emigration from this country in • the course of the present year, although not perhaps so great as on several previous seasons, will still be very large, and principally to the British North American colonies and the United States. As respects the South Australian colo nies, there are but few data to arrive at any definitive con clusion as to the number of settlers who have proceeded in • that direction. As connected with this important subject, it is worth notice that the " bounty system," still pur sued by Government, though objected to by most practical men, is continued. This system, in principle, is said to be objectionable, and practically works injury to the ship. ping interests of the country. It is considered most consistent and advantageous that engagements for the conveyance of emigrants for the Government should be made by the shipowner directly with the department in whom the superintendence of emigration is vested. The late Colonial Secretary was opposed to any alteration, upon the general ground "shat her Majesty's Government must be guided by the circumstances and the wants of the different colonies to which emigration may be proceeding." However, the shipping interest, it is understood, intend to press the sub ject upon the present Colonial Secretary, through their Com mittee. It is a matter of very considerable importance, not only to the shipowner, but to emigrants, as well as the colonial interests. Much interest is taken in the City relative to the promised expose of Lord John Russell, in Parliament this evening, of the measures his Lordship intends to propose to alleviate distress in Ireland. Some bold and comprehensive steps, it is admitted on all hands, must be adopted to procure other food than potatoes for the destitute poor of that country, as it is now in vain to calculate upon any liberal supplies of the esculent either from England, the Continent, or the British colonies, in all of which, or very nearly so, the disease is ex tending far and wide. The calamity lass rather tended to depress the mercantile classes here. The following extract from a communication from New York is of interest at the present moment, as exhibiting the feeling of the merchants there of the probable working of the new tariff:— " The passage of the ad valorem Tariff Bill has created con siderable activity at the Custom-house, and everyone appears to be in a great hurry to get their goods through and into the market. The cash entries have been unusually large. We have no doubt but that the month of August will be a very busy month at the Custom-house, in the way of entries for importation ; and after that the principal business will be entries for exportation, as an immense quantity of foreign merchandise will be exported during the months of October and November, for the benefit of drawback and re-impor tation under the reduced rate of duty. " The importation of foreign merchandise, after the Ist of October, until the new tariff goes into operation, will be ex tremely limited, and only to the extent of the actual and im mediate demand for consumption. and only in instances where there will be, after the Ist December, an increased duty. The revenue from Customs from this to December Ist, will be very small, while the expenditures are going on at the rate of several hundred thousand dollars per day. The ten millions surplus and the ten millions Treasury notes will be expended long before that time. The expenditure of that amount has already been incurred, but as yet the payments have not been made; when the drafts come fur the money, the depo sits to the credit of the Government in our banks will be swept away very rapidly." The meeting at the London Tavern to raise subscriptions for the market gardeners and florists who suffered by the late storm is respectably attended. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge took the chair. A good subscription is anticipated. Consols for the Account have been flat this morning at 95 3 /. For to-morrow Money Stock has fallen to 95%, but a rally has since taken place to 95 3 4. Exchequer-bills have fluctuated from Bs. to 12s. premium. The Reduced Three per Cents. have receded to 96, and the New Three-and-a- Quarter to 95 3 %. There has been a further fluctuation in the Portuguse Four per Cents, this waning. On Saturday afternoon the current value was 42%; the opening price this morning was 43, but the Bonds have just droppz.d to 41% 3 4. It is difficult to account for these. changes. Spanish Consols are flat at 25%, and the Three per Cents at 36% The Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents are at 59% %; Mexican at 23%, and New Brazilian Bonds at 87. The Railway Share market is pretty steady this morning, prices are much the same as on Saturday. BRITISII FUNDS. ONE O'CLOCK. CLOSING Bank Stock . .. .. • • • • • • • • _ PR 209. ICES Three per Cent.

MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. - - - - - The past week's arrivals of all kinds of Grain, including Flour, of home produce, were on a very limited scale; but we had an increased supply of Oats from Ireland. From abroad, we received a full average quantity of Wheat, Oats, and Flour; but other articles came slowly to hand. Fresh up, the receipts of English Wheat, coastwise, as well as by 1 mu carriage and sample, were rather limited, and chiefly of the present year's growth. The stands being rather scantily filled with samples, the attendance of buyers numerous, and the accounts from Ireland respecting the potato crop being very unfavourable, the demand for Wheat of home produce was very steady, at an advance in the value of new qualities of from is to 25 per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. Old parcels of Wheat were in good request, and the currencies had an upward tendency. The show of foreign Wheat, owing to the firmness evinced by the im porters, was by no means extensive. The best parcels moved off readily, at an improvement of is per quarter. In the value of other kinds we can notice no improvement, yet the quotations were steadily supported. The accounts which have come to hand relative to the progress of harvest work in the north are highly satisfactory. Very few samples of new Barley were on sale, and those only of middling quality. Grinding parcels were in fair request, but not dearer. In all other kinds next to nothing was doing. Superfine White Malt, the supply of which was limited, moved off steadily, at full prices. In all other kinds we have very few sales to report. The show of Oats on the whole was good, but the hulk of the supply was derived from abroad. All kinds moved off briskly, at an improvement in value of froin is to 2s per quarter. The sale for Beans was rather dull, yet prices were supported. Peas moved off slowly, at previous quotations. There was more doing in Flour, at very full prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt--Chevalier..

At Hull, about 500 head of stock have been received, mostly from Holland ; while, at Plymouth, 52 Oxen have been imported from Spain, in good condition, and which have found buyers, at prices varying from 121 lOs to 151 lOs each. To-day we had on offer about 650 foreign Beasts, and 2,200 ditto of Sheep, together with a few Calves, which moved off steadily, at rather higher rates. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to-day were moderately extensive, but of very middling quality, compared with the stock exhibited on many pre vious market.days. The attendance of buyers being good, the Beef trade ruled steady, at an advance on last week's quotations of fully 2d per Blbs, and at which a good clear ance was effected. A few of the very primest Scots produced 4s 2d, but the more general top quotation was 4s per 81bs. From the northern counties we received about 800 Short horns ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, 500 Scots, Home-breds, and Short-horns ; from the western and midland counties, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 60 Scots ; and from the neighbourhood of London, 400 Cows, &c., &c. Although the numbers of Sheep were large, the Mutton trade was active, and the quotations advanced 2d per Blbs, the finest old Downs selling at 4s 64 per 81bs. The supply of L. mbs was good, while the Lamb trade was heavy, at a depression in value of 2d per Blbs, and a clearance was with difficulty effected. In Calves only a moderate business was doing, yet prices were well supported. Pigs moved off heavily, at late rates.
