The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, Lord Blontea.gle in the chair. Mr. TALBOT, Q.C. resumed his address, and entered at great length into the question of distances. He said the population within three miles of each sine of the line during its whole course was under 100,000, showing that the local traffic could not be otherwise than trifling ; that the produce of the district could be conveyed by the existing lines cheaply and quickly ; and that looking at the expense of the proposeti line, the di,trict, and the lines authorised by Parliament fur atierding accommoda. tion north and south, he confidently called on the Committee not to prove the preamble of the ' Evidence was then called in support of the opposition of the Great Western. _ _ Mr. E.

Gregory, police-constable at the Reading station, said, for the week ending the Bth of May only sixteen persons came from Gloucester to Reading with the intention of proceeding to Basingstoke. A policeman and porter at the Reading station of the Great Western Railway stated that, for the week ending the sth of May, the number of persons coming from Gloucester And Reading to Basingstoke was 16, and vice versa 14. • Mr. Biddle, corn merchant at Stroud, complained that rome- water meadows which he possessed on the route of the line would be injured by it. The witness expressed much disapprobation because the Company had nut made arrange ments to afford him fair compensation for the land which taey would take, which be considered would be ruined. " They had," he said, " made arrangements with all the great guns, whilst they crucified the small owners of land."

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman HuGnEs.) On the opening of the Court several prisoners who stood indicted with cases of petty larceny, &c., pleaded guilty. A young man of respectable appearance, named John Roberts, who had surrendered himself to answer four separate charges of embezzlement, was placed . at the bar. The prisoner was first indicted with embezzling 14 out of N. 108., the property of his master, Mr. T. Shepherd, and which he had received on his account. . Mr. CLAHKSON appeared as counsel for the prisoner. Mr. PARRY, counsel for the prosecutor, stated the case, from which it appeared that the prisoner was occasionally employed at Covent-garden, as salesman to the prosecutor, laho is a market gardener. The requisite evidence having been given, the prosecutor was cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON, who elicited from him that the prisoner had served him faithfully fur seven years. He also admitted that he had turned out the pri soner while the late storm was at its height. The . jur3 . , considered the evidence i nsu ffi c i en t, an d accord rgly acquitted the prisoner. A similar charge was preferred against the prisoner upon *hick also he was acquitted on the same ground. The counsel for the prosecution refused to proceed with the third indictment, and the prisoner was liberated, a result that sewed to give great Nti:facti)n t 9 nearly all Fre4eat. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From 'the London New Price Current of August 21.) SUGAR.—To-day the market presented a dull appearance for raw Sugar from our Colonies, and prices have assumed a downward tendency, there being an increased quantity offer ing for sale. Although West India was offered at a decline on previous rates of 6d to Is, still the business transacted was extremely limited in all kinds, the private sales amount ing to only 190 hhds and trcs. REFINED.—To day many purchases were made in refined goods by the home trade, but there was a desire evinced by the refiners to sell—Brown grocery lumps at 63s to 633 6d, and standard lumps at 64s and 64s 6d per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar, of first quality, 34s is asked. Macumus.—The demand privately has been good for yellow, brown, and grey descriptions, but the rates paid do not generally show an advance on those previously current, merchants have manifested firmness, and refrained from supplying the market largely. At public sale 1,640 bags 123 casks and 244 trcs sold at stiffer rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Manilla Sugar brought to public sale was large, and amounted to 8,965 bags, duty paid. But little desire was shown to operate, and nearly the whole was taken in under former rates. FOREIGN. —This afternoon a large parcel of Porto Rico Sugar, duty paid, was submitted to public competiticn, and consisted of 1,048 hhds 176 barrels and 2 tierces, subject to the 21s per cwt duty; the whole was taken by the home trade and fetched very full rates. TEA.—The demand has fallen off for black and green, and by private contract little business has been transacted, although merchants are disposed to make some concession in price, and there is a larger quantity on offer of all kinds. At the public sales the trade operated with much caution, notwithstanding there were sellers at easier rates, and of the quantity offered, amounting to 26,000 pkgs, the small proportion of only 6,000 pkgs actually sold, the chief part of. which consisted of damaged Tea. The trade hold fair stocks both in town and country, and the quantity in bond here is much greater than it was last yaar. COFFEE.—This afternoon Janiaica Coffee was purchased with less freedom, and 78 trcs, 3 brls, 1 bag, at public sale, sold. at rather lower rates. Of Costa Rica the large quantity of 5,844 has were brought to public sale, all sold to ship pers and the home trade, in consequence of previous mode rate rates being taken. Ceylon was less in request, and 200 bags at auction only in part sold at the former value. Na tive Ceylon has fallen in value, sales privately of good ord having been made at 40s to 41s per cwt. SPICES.—To-dly Pimento met with attention, and 129 bags at public sale sold at aid to 3id for low middling and good quality, being the full value; 19 boxes Jamaica Ginger 90s to 105 s. Nutmegs are litte wanted, and 20 casks of bold limed at auction from Madeira were taken in at 3s 6d for bold of first quality. 579 bags Penang Pepper only in part sold at 21c1 for half heavy brown, being the former value. Ricx.—To-day Bengal Rice was much sought after pri vately, and stiff rates offered ; but few parcels were to be met with. At auction 665 bags went 6d to 91 per cwt above former prices. SAGo.—lmporters have been more inclined to realize, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of is to 2s per cwt, occasioned the demand to be good, and the parcels offered at public sate amounting to 647 boxes were all sold. COCHINEAL—HoIders have more confidence, and refrain from offering any at public sale; the demand is improving. and the parcels disposed of by private contract were at rather *her rates. Black is held the most firmly. The stock is a small one. FALIT.—The present stock of Currants being very small, and the consumption good, the importers have advanced their prices ; a parcel of Cephalonia in second hands is being resold at 50s, but the grocers do not appear inclined to in cieae their stocks at the advance required, expecting very early arrivals of new. Of Valentias there are none on hand and inquired fir, which has indu -ed the buyers to seek rather more after Red Smyrna and Chesme Raisins, the price being very low. SALTPETIIE.—For English Refined prices remain firm at 29s to 29s 6d per cwt, and the refiners are still full of orders. Rough has been purchased with caution by private treaty for home consumption and exportation; but no further decline has taken place in the value. T URPENTIN E.—There has been less demand for Spirits, but in the value little variation has taken place, 44s to 45s per cwt being required. The supply is by no means so large as it was: Rough has been sparingly dealt in. Ons.—For Seal Oil holders manifest firmness, and a good business bas been transactedr There has been little desire evinced to operate in Cod. Southern is wanted, the tendency of prices upwards, and supply less. Sperm in moderate re quest, but holders are not disposed to reduce their prices, For Rape Seed Oil the demand has been brisk, and prices are firm. • Linseed Oil has been in excellent request on the spot, and several shipping orders have been executed. For for ward delivery a good business has been done at 245. For Olive the demand has been brisk, and prices are still rising for all sorts. Palm has been in brisker demand, and prices are firm. There are several buyers of Cocoir.Nut, and pre vious rates are well sustained. I: Use, BRANDY, AND Houatips.—There are several arri vals of .Rum this week, the principal part Jamaica. The dullness in the market has increased for all kinds. For Lee ward Island previous rates are insisted upon; but little de sire has been evinced to do business. arid the sales amount to nnly 100 puns, at 2s 6d, proof strength. Calcutta has been' sparingly dealt in at is 11 to 2s, proof, with certificate. Holders of Jamaica, for the most part, are unwilling to reduce their prices ; but exporters and the home trade have only taken trifling parcels. Demerara has met with little attention ; but strong sorts are held for 3s 3d to 3s 6d. In Brandy large purchases have been made, more particularly in the older kinds. Prices are higher for all sorts. Geneva is wanted for export, and the 'parcels sold were at 2s 1d to 2s 2d for common. Fine, fit for duty, has been sold to a fair extent, at 25.. 6d to 3s. For British Corn Spirits the demand is on the increase. INDlGO.—Although some holders of East India are in clined to sell upon rather lower terms, still it has occasioned little increase in the demand, and she principal transaction for the week has been that of 80 chests of Bengal, for which, the rates taken show a decline on those of the last quarterly sale of 2d per lb. Exporters and the 1i me trade are not inclined to take' more than their immediate wants require, moderate as prices are. WOOL—There has been little desire evinced Co operate in English, Colonial, or. Foreign, but holders are not inclined to further reduce their prices, and offer a less quantity for sale. Hops.—The business transacted bas been extremely limited in all descriptions, and prices are haling down, several parcels are pressing for sale; indeed it is difficult to quote accura e quotations, so trifling is the demand. The accounts from the Plantations are highly satisfactory, and the duty for the Kingdom is estimated as high as 170,000/. TALLOW.—Although there have been several arrivals of Russian this week, yet merchants manifest firmness; the trade have been desirous to operate, and on the spot a good business has been transacted. For forward delivery many purchases have been made, and 41s 3d to 41s 6d are the rates givea for the last three months of the year for new. Home made has been largely dealt in on the spot, and prices are firm at 40s to 41s nett cash. EIN GLAND. ;ht's Gazette.) • 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 32, for , the 15th day of August, 1846.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (I HIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. WRECK AND SALVAGE BILL. This Bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted. DEATH BY ACCIDENTS COMPENSATION BILL. Lord CAMPBELL said, accAding to notice, he had to draw their Lordships' attention to a most important subject. The Bill which awarded compensation in the case of accidents had come up from the Commons with some amendments. Last session a Bill of the same kind was introduced into their Lordship? House, and though unanimously passed by them the Commons had thrown it out. This session it was again introduced, and on this occasion they had passed it but with amendments. As they framed the Bill the compensation was to go to the next of kin; a provision which was common in law. The Commons, however, had provided especially that it should be divided among the members of the family, extending to grandfather and grand. mother, stepson, stepfather and stepmother. He had no great objection to that amendment, and he would advise their Lordships to agree to it.—( Hear.) Another amendment was, perhaps, more questionable. Their Lordships had provided that the compensation should be in pro portion to the suffering person's property, but the Corn mons had introduced an amendment to the effect, that the jury should divide the money they might award among the family according to their wants and necessities. He would have preferred that a merely general rule had been laid down. This syste t, had existed in Scotland, and been found to work well; and he would advise their Lordships to accept the amendments. He said after what had been stated in certain quarters of the Bill, he felt it necessary to add that it had been introduced only after the most painful consideration by the present Noble and Learned Lord now on the Woolsack, the late. Lord Chan cellor, Lord Denman, and by himself. The greatest care had been taken in the preparation of the Bill. The amendments were then agreed to. NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENTS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. EJECTMENTS ( IRELAND) BILL. The Earl of CLARENDON moved that this Bill should be read a second time. Lord CAMPBELL said that this Bill carried into effect the recommendation of the Earl of Devon's Commi,sion. The most important enactment of the Bill was one which was recommended by the Earl of Devon, and which prevented the distraint of growing crops. By the common law of England and Ireland, no growing crops could be distrained, but in 1816 the law was introduced into Ireland, and since that time had been found to be a very erious •1 mischief. Lord ELLENBOURGH said, that he understood this Bill was not yet printed, and to move the second reading before it was printed was out of the usual practice of the House. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that as it was the intention of the House only to adjourn until to-morrow. The Bill might be printed by that time. The Earl of WICKLOW said that as he could not be there to morrow, their Lordships would perhaps permit him to say a few word. upon the Bill at once. Ha thought that any inter feren.e with the present lass in Ireland would occasion much inconvenience. If it made any alteration in the law to be ap plied to one country more than another he should enter his protest against it, for he thought that any law applied to one country ought to be applied to the other. The Income-tax Deduction Bill was then read a second time. PUBLIC WORKS AND FISHEUIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of the Earl of CLARENDON, the Bill went through Committee.: DRAINAGE OF LANDS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of the same NOBLE EARL., this Bill also went through Committee. After as. explanation by Earl GREY, that there had been a few amendments in the clauses, which he stated were for the improvement of the Bill. In this opinion the Earl of Ellenborough and Lord Monteagle concurred, the latter stating, however, that he feared that the Bill, as now framed, was inapplicable to the state of Ireland. From the subinfeudation which took place there, that country was in a very different position from England, and that which was per fectly applicable to this country was quite useless for that cuuntr!, and he would say, therefore, let the Bill pass as a matter of couase, and then improve it in the course of next session. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that nothing could be more true than that which had been asserted by his Noble Friend, that the great number of consents which would have to be obtained would throw great impediments in the way of the working of this Bill, but in the few days which remained of the present session it was impossible to phrase it otherwise than as it was, but he might rest assured that his suggestions should be taken into careful consideration before the beginning of the next year, and so as to render it effective for the prevention of distress in Ireland. Earl GREY, in reply, stated that he did nut exactly see what was the purport of his Noble Friend's suggestions, unless it was that !Le Government should take the whole of the t-ainage of lands into its own hands, when the landowners dissented. The Bill then went through Committee. PUBLIC (MKS (IRELAND) BILL. COUNTY WORKS PRESENTMENTS (IRELAND). HOUSE OF COMMONS OFFICES'BILL. These Bills also went through Committee. MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. The Commons' amendments on this Bill were agreed to in Committee. SPIRIT LICENCES BILL. This Bill also went through Committee ; as did also The Turnpike Trusts Bill, The Lunatic Asylum, Bill, The Public F6heries (Ireland) Bill, The Public Works Commissioners Bill, and The Baths and Washhouses (Ireland) Bill. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. The Commons amendments on the Fisheries (Ireland) Bill were also agreed to. EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGE OF TRADING ABOLI TIO. (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. 11 , 2'. WARDS FOR THE APPREHENSION OF OFFENDERS. The Marquis of LAN sDOWN E laid upon the House a return of the amount of monies paid as rewards for the ap prehension of offenders._ SPEEDY REMOVAL OF NUISANCES BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that the House shcuid resolve itself into a Committee for the purpose of con sidering the provisions of this Bill, and took occasion to state the nature of its operations. He stated that the Bill had been called for in consequence of the late un healthy season, and the prevalence of epidemic disease Among other provisions there were several providing for the due and proper whitewashing of dwelling houses, and making it compulsory upon the landlords to remove all offensive matter, and other nuisances. The expense thus created was to be defrayed either by the owners or the occupiers of the houses ; and it was pro posed that this enactment should Le carried into effect by town councils, commissioners, and boards of guardians. That the Bill was necescary it was superfluous to bring forward any details to prove, as he was sure their Lordships would concur in its propriety. He would conclude by moving that the House should go into Committee on the Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in reply to Lord Ranfurly, said that another Bill of a similar character was proposed to be brought forward, having reference to Ireland. The Bill then went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. The Alarquis of LANSDOWNE said that the Bill would be read a third time on Monday, and he would then take an op. portunity of referring to the Land Valuation (Ireland) Bill. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. HENLEY would not object to the Bill, if it merely transferred the powers of the Board of Trade to the new de partment, but the latter part of the Bill gave additional powers, to which he objected, and the due consideration of which could not take place in the present thin state of the House. If the Noble Lord would consent to his suggestion, and limit the provisions of the Bill in the way he stated, he would not object to it, but, otherwise, he would oppose those clauses ashen they came under consideration. Mr. HUME defended the Bill, sod considered that a body of the kind proposed to be appointed was, in the present state of railway business, absolutely necessary. If the Hon. Gentle man who had objected to the powers conferred by the Bill had been, like him, on the Committee which suggested the ap pointment of the board, and bad heard the evidence of the engineers and others who were examined, he would not con sider the powers too extensive, or more than were required under the eircums'ances. After a few words from Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that it would be time enough when the House went into Committee to consider the objectionable clauses. He was fully :mare of the inconvenience of bi inging forward the question at this late period of the session, but if th e y did no t appo i nt a ra il way b oar d now, they would be in the same position next session as they were at the beginning of this session, and, under these circum stances, he theaght it much better if they ' , met! the present 13i11. Mr. ESTCOURT made some observations which did not reach the gallery. Mr. HO ttSAIAN thought at present the functions of the Board of Trade and the Railway Committees were very un defined, and 'eke% ery member of a Committee in doubt as to the power the Committee could exercise. He therefore thought that the establishment of such a board as that proposed by the paesent Bill was very necessary. Mr. P. HOWARD thought that the Commissioner:, when they should be appointed, shou'd have their attention directed to the great speed now applied on railways, as it was a matter of much importance to the safety of the public at large. Mr. B. ESCOTT thought that the speed on railways was a great public convenience, and should not be reduced. He should, however, in consequence of other circumstances, join in suggesting that the consideration of the present question should be deferred until the ensuing session. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had not the smallest wish for the introduction of this Bill, but he understood that it was the opinion generally of Committees of that House, and of all persons connected with them, that it was desirable such a Bill should be introduced. fle thought, however, that as the opinion of the House was so strongly in favour of this Bill that it ought to be proceeded with. It would, however, be impossible to invest the Commissioners under this Bill with al the powers at present exercised by Railway Committees. Mr. S. WORTLEY thought that the Bill ought only to be made temporary—to continue until the end of next session. After a few words from Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. MUNTZ said that the object of the Bill appeared to him to be to save the railway companies the enormous expense attendant upon their being compelled to bring up witnesses to town. The Commissioners would have powers to make local investigations, which powers were not possessed by the Board of Trade. Mr. WAKLEY said, that considering the gigantic evils which were said to exist, both in and out of that House, with reference to the railway system, any thing more incompetent to remedy them than the present measure he could not conceive. He could not dis cover that the five Commissioners to be appointed could render any effectual service. He should be most willing to support any vote of the public money for the establishment of any office which could really be of s .rvice, but he certainly s'r ould dissent from any vote for so inefficient a tribunal as the one proposed, and he thought that the further consideration of the present subject should be postponed. Mr. 'WILLIAMS hoped that her Majesty's Government would not consent to any postponement of the measure, as he considered that the Bill, as a temporary measure, would be amply efficient for all the objects intended. Atter some further consideration the gallery was cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the amendment ... 0 Against it .......... 64 Majority The House then went into Committee on the Bill, when Colonel SIBTHORP upbraided the conduct of those gentlemen who, after having spoken against the Bill, yet voted for it when the House came to divide. Thank God ! he had never been guilty of such despicable conduct; his course had always teen con sistent and independent. The introduction of such an im portant Bill as this at solate a period of the session was nothing less than a gross trick played upon unsuspecting and absent Members. Had he chosen last night he could have stopped the further progress of the Bill this session, be cause there were not forty Members present at the time that it was read a second time, but he scorned taking advantage of any underhand work. Mr. WILLIAMS, in reply to some remarks that had fallen from the Hon. and Gallant Member. said that he did not an ticipate being appointed, nor would he consent to receive any appointment under this Bill. Colonel sIBTHORP—" Hear, hear." L..rd G. SOMERSET made a few observations on the Bill, which were inaudible in the re, otters' gallery. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government were of opinion that the President of the new Commission to 13,t app ,inted under this Bill should be a Member of either that or the other House of Par liament, so that he might be prepared to furnish any information connected with the Commission to such Mem bers of the House as might desire it. He was happy to find that the jealousy of members of such boards holding seats in Parliament was rapidly dying away. The object of the Government in introducing this Bill was to appoint men in the place of the former Commissioners who would command the confidence of the public, which, from some reason or other the late Commissioners did not, notwithstanding their great talents and fitnets for their office. The only new burdens . which this Bill would impose upon the public would be the payment of the services of the President and two Corr missioners. Mr. B. ESCOTT thought that the arrangement for ap pointing the head of the proposed hoard bore very much the character of a job, and he should oppose the Bill by all the forms of the House. _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied any knowledge of any job, either existing of intended. Atter some further discussion, in which Mr. Borthwick, Mr. Morris, Mr. Eseott, Mr. Turner, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Henley took part, the clause was agreed to. Clauses 2,3, and 4 were then agreed to without a division. On Clause 5 being proposed, Mr. P. BORTH WICK moved an amendment to the effect, that instead of the words " and two other commis sioners," to substitute the words " vice-president and secre tary." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it better to leave the clause as it stood, so as to have two per manent working commissioners. Mr. ESCOTT thought so many Commissioners as five quite uncalled for. He did not think the railway business of the couniry would be so much as to require the services of so many persons. Colonel 8113THORP took a similar view of the question. Mr. BORTHWICK then withdrew ills amendment. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, which did not reach the gallery, the clause was agreed to. On clause 6 being propomd, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the salary of the president of the board would be 2,0001. per ant.um, and the salaries of the two paid Com missioners would be 1,800/. per year. After some observations from Colonel SIBTHORP, Mr. B. EsCOTT moved that the salary of the president be reduced to 1,000/. Lord G. BENTINCK thought that the salary was not too high, for it would require a man of very considerable talent, and would entail considerable responsibility on him, and there would be no officer in that House who would be so fre puently called upon to explain the conduct of his board.: Mr. BORTH WICK agreed with the Noble Lord that the salary of 2,000/. would not be too much, but he objected to the prnciple of estimating a man's talents and usefulness by the pounds, shillings, and pence which he received. The amendment was then put and negatived. Mr. WILLIAMS moved, as an amendment, that the words " one thousand Live hundred" be struck out from the clause. After a snort discussion the amendment was withdrawn. ....... Clause 6 was then agreed to. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. MUNTZ proposed an amendment, to give greater effect to the local examinations to be instituted by the Com missioners as to any projected railway. 'I he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no ob jection to the amendment. After a few words from Mr. ESCOTT and P. M. STEWART, the amendment was agreed to. The clause was then adopted. The remaining clauses were agreed te, and the House re sumed. Report to-morrow. POOR EMPLOYMENT (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the receiving of the report on this Bill being read, Sir D. NORRIS said that he had an amendment to move in reference to this Bill, and he wished to know from the Noble Lord at the head of the Givernment what course he should take ? Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that the Bill should be re committed, and The House accordingli resolved itself in!o Committee on this Bill. Sir D. N. JEPSON said he would postpone his amend, ments till the third reading. The report was then gene through, and ordered to be read third time to-morrow. PATENT COMMISSIONS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. RECTORY OF Nr)CTON.- EXPLANATION OF LORD GEORGE BEN riNcK. On the motion for going into the order of the day, Lord G. BENT] NCK rose and said, that after the accusa tion that had been made on his conduct Us this transaction elFe where, he was sure the House would grant him its indulgence while endeavouring to justify his own conduct, and to defend his character. He would not stop to excuse hi m s e lf for having hastily made on last Wednesday a retraction of some expressions he had uttered. It had been stated that he could make that retraction as unfoundedly as he could make the charge, without investigation. Now if he had made any unfounded charge, he would be as ready as any one to admit his error. Now it should be remembered that he made this retract!on on an investigation of the Clergy List. But he took leave here to say that the nobleman who had made the charge should have been the last to do so. Th e Cl ergy Li st was no cop y o f the Ecclesiastical report. That ecclesiastical report was made by a Government of which Sir IL Peel was the head, and the nobleman to whom he alluded was the Lord Chancellor. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE RESTORED IRISH ➢IAGISTRATES. The Dublin Evening Post gives the following as an accurate list of the restored Irish magistrates :—Lord Ffrench, county of Galway; Daniel O'Connell, MA' , county of Kerry; Sir Michael Dillon Bellew, Bart., county of Galway ; IT. Bridgeman, M.P., county of Clare ; Pierse S. Butler, M.P., county of Kilkenny; Cornelius O'Brien, M.P., county of Clare ; R. A.

It adds, of these fifteen, fourteen have been superseded by the late Government, for being Repealers, or attending re peal meetings. The fifteenth is a remarkable name. At present we can only say we are delighted on various accounts at the restoration of Sir William Verner. Besides the foregoing-, Sir Richard Musgrave, Ra-t., of the county of Waterford, and J. A. O'Neill, E-q., of the county ' of Galway, who resigned, have been reinstated. A BIT OF DEVONSHIRE.--Mr. Justice Platt "brought out" a Devonshire boy in good style last week at Exeter, and evidently enjoyed the fun. In a case of arson, one of the wit. nesses against the prisoner was John Brown, twelve years of age, whose business, he said, was to "go about 'long wi' mother," selling " vish." He stated that he was on an arch over the tunnel, about vower o'clock in the afternoon, and teed amok a' coming out o' the back houze ; he know'd 'twas vower o'clock, 'cos he thought when N% as a tap o' th' arch that his mother wid'n catch him to whop hint. The Judge —When did you expect your whopping, that evening? Boy—When her catch'd me. Judge—What made you go upon the arch. Boy—Cos I could see her a coming. Judge—And then you could bolt, eh? Boy—Eees, zur, my board. SHE REGISTRATION.—Tuesday next, the 25th inst., will he the I,.st day for serving obje..tious county borow;h electors, and r r borough elec isr s sending in itch claims. IMPERIAL PA Li Of EIS T. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 20. CHIEF-JUSTICESHIP OF BOMBAY.— LORD G. BENTINCK. Lord LYNDHURST begged to call the attention to cer tain statements which had appeared in the morning papers yesterday, and which had reference to a Noble Friend of his who was now on duty in a distant part of the country, and be deeply regretted that their Lordships not sitting yesterday prevented his making this statement earlier. He would not allude to the c oarseness of language which had fallen from the Noble Lord (Lord George Beutinck) by whom this charge had been made, but he was Put# 4l6ll Y Wilio l l B on meant of the petition which lately held in the Ministry to offer an explanation. With respect to this statement, he had to say that it was particularly unfortunate that this explanation had not been made earlier, for it was almost impossible to meet it by reason and argument. In the early part of the year he had been applied to to fill the office of a chief justice in India by his Noble Friend at the head of the Board of Control. In consequence of that application he had named six or seven persons, among whom was Mr. David Pollock. All who knew that gentleman knew how well he was fitted to fill the situation. His connexion with the Chief Baron of the Exchequer had in no way affected the case. A vacancy having been created gave him an opportunity of filling it. Three or four years ago, he (Lord Lyndhurst) had appointed Mr. Phillips a Commis , ioner for the Court of Bankruptcy. From domestic circumstances the office had become immediately dis tasteful to him. His wife and family had separated from him, and were now living apart from him at Cheltenham. Mr. Phillips had been suggested to him as a proper person to fill the office of Chief Justice of Mitlras, but Mr. Poinck seemed to him the more proper person, and his appointment was sanctioned by the Queen on the 10th June. Mr. Phillips' office had been vacated, and he was prom ited to the office left by Mr. Pollock. Ni) one con d doubt the ability of the gentleman to fulfil the duties of the office. He had appointed his secretary. Mr. Perry, to execute the duties of the office which Mr. Phillips had left, and e ith reference to the appointment of that gentleman, and the obser vations of the Noble Lord to whom he had alluded respecting it, he would say that had he not appointed Mr. Perry, he would have been guilty not only of the grossest forgetfulness, but of the grossest injustice in overlooking the merits of a person who had served him with the utmost fidelity and intelligence, and who had recommended himself to manyof their Lordships by those abilities which had always been serviceable to the State, and particularly useful to himself. With respect to the Noble Lord who had made these remarks, in another place, he might refer to some observations in a speech of Pitt upon Napoleon, upon whom that Minister had remarked that there was nothing too great for his ambition, nor too mean or too small for his rapacity. The Noble Lord had abandoned the statement he had made in reference to the presentation to Nocton, hut he did so on wrong, grounds, for he, when Lord Chancellor, did present to the living in Nocton, and that pre sentation had no connexion whatever with the judicial appoint ment of Mr. David Pollock, as he had nothing what ever to do, directly or indirectly, further than he had stated. The charges, therefore, of that man were made on light ground, and his retractations were made with the same levity. The Noble Lord then proceeded to describe the circumstances under which the presentation to Nocton was made, and read letters, one from the Earl of Ripon and from Lady Ripon, soliciting the appointment for the Rev. Mr. Wilson, who was then in the possession of a living of the same value as that of Noctor under the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The Rev. Gentleman had, it appeared, endeavoured to promote the well-being of those in the neighbourhood in which he lived. He afro received a letter at the time from Lady Ripon, thanking him most cordially for the appointment he had conferred upon the Rev. Gentleman. The charge, considering the evidence on which it rested, was one of the most extraordinary that was ever brought against a public man. He could not conceive how a nobleman, occupying a high position, could bring so grave a charge, not on his own evidence, but on the evidence of another, and without investigation against another public man. Such a charge could not be otherwise than condemna tory of the individual who uttered it, and whose weakness and folly were only equalled by his baseness.—( Cheers. ) The Noble and Learned Lord then referred to the appointment of Mr. D. Pollock to the judgeship of Bombay ; who, he contended, from his previous duties was fully capable of discharging the duties of the office to which he was appointed by him. The course he adopted with respect to Mr. D. Pollock was only such as was adopted in similar cases. He asked their Lordships, then, if he had not justified himself in their eyes ? Could any one justify such conduct on the part of the Noble Lord, who made the charge ? But, perhaps, he might consider it not inconsistent with party to asperse those who differed with him; or, perhaps, his early habits had taught him to form so low an opinion of men as to suppose that every man in public life must be actuated by some base—some un worthy motive; but the best proof of calumny was to oe found in the character of the calumniator. There was no want of will, but inability to distil his poison ; he was not unlike a wasp who took delight in stinging. Such aspersions were not with out harm, after they had been perpetrated, as people remem bered them. It was humiliating at the close of his political life, and at the close, he might almost say, of his natural life, to have to repel accusations of this kind. He honed their Lord ships would bear with him on an occasion like the present. (Cheers. ) He thanked their Lordships for the attention with which they had listened to him, and in their hands he would leave the matter. The matter then drnpred. MILITARY FLOGGING. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Penryn in favour of the abdition of military flogging. AUSTRALIAN LANDS BILL. Earl GREY mowed the third reading of the Australian Lands Bill, After a few observations from Lord ELLENBOROUGI!, the Bill was read a'hird time and passed. LUNATICS ASYLUM AND PAUPER LUNATICS BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANINTOWNE, the Lu. natics Asylum and Pauper Lunatics Bill was read a second time BRITISH . POSSESSIONS BILL. • The Earl of CLARENDON moved the second reading 01 the British Possessions' Bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH objected to the principle of the Bill. Under its operation the duties in one c‘dony might be abrogated, diminished in a second, and retained in a third. Bur for that purpose time was necessary. And on the earliest meeting of Parliament, her Majesty's Government might come down to the House and overturn all those arrangements. But there was another matter to which he would invite the atten tion of Government. They thought it but fair that the woods of the colonies and of foreign muntries should be admitted on equal terms. That was free trade. But he could not see how, if there were to be an equalisation of du ties, there should not also be an equalisation in the use of ships as well as in the admission of woods. He mind not see how the claims of the colonists could be resisted for the free use of ships as well as of the rate of duties. It was notorious that, although the number of our ships had largcly increased, yet the number of ships of other countries had been much more than proportionably increased. All force was relative, and it was not on our position, but on our relative, superiority that our pre-eminence and our safety rested. He was, therefore, anxious to know, whether in granting this principle of free trade, the Government were ready also to sa crifice the navigation laws. Earl GREY thought that the Noble Earl had not, in those observations, sufficiently attended to the relative merits of the subject. He had had an opportunity .•f talking with one of the principal Members of the Legislative Assembly in Ca nada, and had certainly heard from him that the abolition of the differential duties would not only very distasteful, but in all probability very unprofitable to the colonies. But it should be recollected that the colonies had not, with all the duties levied, been able to satisfy their own expenses. It was, therefore, clearly evident, that whatever the difference might be that was occasioned by the present regulations, they in no way invalidated the right of the mother country to regulate their trade.—( Hear. ) With respect to the question of the navigation laws, he did conceive that it was highly inexpedient that any inquiry should be entered upon at the present moment. The colonial shipping interests were, as they were in this country, of the utmost importance, and it was of the highest consideration that they should be fully upheld. Te do so, it might be matter of thought whether these colonies should or should not be endowed with any peculiarly private privileges, but still he could repeat that it was highly inexpe. dient at the present moment to enter upon such a subject. The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH had net one word to say in reply, but he might observe, that he trusted in those mea sures the Government would not forget the claims of India for the admission of its sugar as colonial sugar. The Bill was then read a second time. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the House of Commons came up, soliciting a conference with their Lordships wiih that Houze, on the Baths and 'Washl , ouses Bill, which was agreed to. The Public Works (Inland) Bill, the Turnp:ke Roads (Ireland) Bill ; the Public NVot ks, Fisheries, &c., ( Ireland) Bill ; and the Colonial Po!sessions Bill, were severally re4d a second time. BRIDGE TOLLS. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from a number of the citizens of London, complaining of the tolls levied on several metropolitan bridges, and praying fur its being remedied. 11IILLBANK PRISON. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid on the table seven] documents and reports in reference to this establishment. CONFERENCE WITH THE COM ONS. The following Noble Lords were then appointed to meet II e Commons in Confer, nee on the Bill alrt ady named : —The Earl of Minto, Earl Spencer, Earl Duck, the Bishop of Ox fo:d, Lord Ponsnnby, Lord Churchill, and Lord Monteaple. The members oft he deputation then withdrew, and after an absence ( f about five minutes, returned.. The Earl of MINTO, approaChing the table, said the Commons had submitted to them the reasons why they dis sented from certain amendments made in the Bill in their Lordships' House. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then moved that the House do not insist on the amendments referred to, which was agreed to. Their Lordships immediately after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 20. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) (No. 4) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. The several clauses having been agreed to, the House re sumed, the Chairman reported progress, and the report was ordered to be brought up tomorrow. A messenger from the Lords brought up several Bills, which were ordered to lie on the table. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) (No. 5) BILL. The House went into a Committee on this Bill. The several clauses were read and agreed to. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. CONSTABULARY (IRELAND) BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill, and the several clauses were read and agreed to. Mr. WILLIAMS remarked, before Mr. Greene left the chair, that it was his opinion that this force was purely mili tary, and the expenses ought to be voted among the army es timates. The report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. The House resumed. TITHES COMMUTATION BILL This Bill was read a third time and passed. ECCLESIASTICAL PATRONAGE BILL. This Bill was read a second time, an I ordered to be cont witted tomorrow. MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. Several clauses were brought up, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. LEASES (IRELAND) BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill. The several dames were gone through and agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow. PRIVATE BILLS BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill, and the dames having been read and agreed to, the Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow. RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill, Colonel SIBTHORY said, ho begged to enter his protest against the 13ill, for he could not assent to a Bill of so much importance being brought forward at so late a period of the session. Some more consideration ought to be given to the subject of the al•pointment of the officers whose salaries were to come out of the consolidated fund. He would not oppose the second reading of the Bill, but he gave notice when the Bill was in Committee he should move that the sixth clause be struck out. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would consent to leave out the latter part of the clause in question, and ho therefore hoped that the Hon. and Gallant Member would not persist in his opposition. He hoped that Hon. Members would not impede the progress of the Bill at that period of the session because he believed that it had the assent of nine-tenths of the House.—(Hear, hear. ) Mr. B. ESCOTT said he could not perceive, from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor cf the Exchequer's statement, what was the object of the Bill, whether it was to assist or impede the progress of railway Bills. He did not think that it was possible to construct a board which would re ceive more confidence from the public than thu present board. The Nab Leid at the bead et thlt point, es well 0 the ether members, were most admirably adapted to the transactions of the business that came before them. - T•iis Bill would not tend in the slightest degree to put an end to the unseemly scenes which took place in that House on railway Bills; those who took part in those animated debates being ex cited to a most extraordinary degree, because their pockets were at stake. Although he was opposed to the Bill, he quite concurred with the Hon. and Gallant Member opposite in thinking it best not to d, lay the passing of the measure by any vexatious opposition.—( Hear, hear. ) The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. DISTRICT LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BILL. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on this Bill, Sir R. FERGUSON said he should oppose the very firs' clause, because he did not see the necessity of the measure. Mr. PIG OTT having replied, Sir R. FERGUSON then opposed the clause as to the ofi• cers' salaries. Sir GEORGE GREY, in the absence of the Chancellor o; the Exchequer, was not prepared to defend the clause, and thought that the Bill ought to he postponed until to-morrow, when the necessary explanation would be given by that gentle- man. The House accordingly resumed, and the Chairman reported progre,s, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. THE CAPTAIN OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ALARM. Captain PECH ELL then rose to move for a copy of the order from the Vice-Admiral, commanding at Bermuda, for assembling a court-martial to investigate certain charges pre ferred against Mr. James Chimmo, Paymaster and Purser of her Majesty's ship Alarm ; also copies of a letter addressed to the Commander-in-Chief, by Mr. James Chimmo, dated the 28th day of February, 1846. The Hon and Gallant Member, in support of his motion, briefly detailed some instances of al leged ill treatrsent and illegalities on the part of the Captain of the ship in question. He thought the circumstances connected with the case were of such a nature as to call for the immediate attention of the Board of Admiralty, and he felt that it the at tention of that Board was directed to the subject, they would agree with him that a gross act of injustice had been perpetrated upon that officer. Admiral DUNDAS would refuse the return of the papers moved for; they would be of to public benefit, nor would they 6e at all calculated to advance the interests of that officer himself. Mr. WILLIAMS regretted the course which the Admiralty thought pr. - Te... to pursue in this case. lie thought the public should be made acquainted with the proceedings of courts martial held on board of her Majesty's ships of war. Inferior officers should be protected against the tyranny of their supe rior officers. Captain PLUM RIDGE hoped that the Government would consent to lay upon the table of the House the minutes of the court-martial, if they did nut feel disposed to grant the papers moved for. Captain BERKELEY %vas quite ready to take his share in the refusal of the papers moved for by the Hon. and Gallant Mem ber for Brighton. . _ After a few words from Captain PECHELL, the motion was withdrawn. PATENTS COMMISSION BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of this Bill, and gave notice that to.morrow he should move that the Bill pass through the remaining stages. WASTE LANDS (AUSTRALIA) BILL. This Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Ten. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Baron PLATT and Alderman Hucams.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Upon the motion of Mr. BALLANTINE, the trial of the man Clive, who stands charged with manslaughter, the charge arising out of the recent collision upon the Eastern Counties Railway, was postponed until the next assizes, the defendant being allowed to go at large upon bail. James Lloyd, 35, milkman, was indicted for the man slaughter of Thomas Alexander Bartlett. Mr. %V ilde conducted the prosecution, Mr. Prendergast de fended the prisoner. _ _ It appeared that on the day named in the indictment, the deceased, who was a young lad, was playing v.ith some of his companions about the same age, at a game called " pussy cat," which consists in striking a piece of wood pointed at both ends, and it seemed that deceased struck the "cat" against the prisoner, who immediately struck the de ceased a blow, and when he ran away he followed him and struck him a second time, and he fell against the wall, 'and it was alleged that in consequence of these blows he received such injuries as to cause his death. The evidence, however, was not by any means conclusive upon the point. The jury therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Phillip Ryan, the secretary to a b,nefit society, called t%e `• Old Priemls," was summoned lief ,re Alterman Gibs fur having refused to give up any of the fund; tor the payment of the sick, who, as members, had claims upon it._ _ _ Mr. Hobler, who appeared for the secretary, objected in limini that the magistrate had no jurisdiction in the case, inasmuch as the society was one which was con ducted upon the principle of secret signs and obligations. A schism had stsrted out of the ill gil character of it, and several of the mem bers were anxious to secede, and establish it upon a basis not liable to so injurious an objection. Alderman GIBBS asked M. Hobler whether he could prove that the society was regulated by secret signs and obligations upon oath ?—Mr. Ilobler replied that the 13th rule directed that no brother should make known the signs of the brotherhood or disclose the secrets of the society. The- Solicitor to the complainant said he knew of no secret signs or obligations as influencing the members. That was an argument merely put forth to sanction the unfair attempt of some of the dissatisfied members to get the money into their own hands. • Mr. I.loblei—My client is ready to give up the money at once. All he wants to know is to whom to give it up without being placed in the dilemma of responsibility- to rhose who of ject to a secession from the society. ido not know that it is in the power of any t:uthority to decide in such a case except the Court of Exchequer, who can give a legal discharge to my client, supposing he should part with the money. The Solicitor to the complainant said that the sick were suffering by the detention of the money, and the secretary would be completely justified in yielding to so undoubted a claim. Alderman G IBBS-W hat is the meaning of the letters N. 0. F., which appelr to be hicrog:iphically placed ? The complainant—That means " noble old friend."— (Laughter.) We must have titles or we could not exist as a charity. Alde►man Gross—Do you really administer any secret oath ? The complainant—Not at all. Mr. Hobler—l shall show you whether secret signs are not passed, and secret oaths are not administered. A young man here stepped forward, and said—My Lord, you cannot come into the lodge without giving a sign. When you are first made a member you are blindfolded, and you are sworn upon a naked sword. The complainant—What are the words used—the exact word ? Witness—You are given a drawn sword, and you must keep it and say " so be it," declaring that you pill not reveal the secrets of the members. The complainant's solicitor—Really there is no secre at all in that. Witness—Nebo iy can enter the apartment in which the society is held without making • a sign. You must first go up and lur , ck at the door, and that noi,e is an swered by a scratching inside, like a cat.—(A laugh.) I endeavoured to get rid of that sort of mummery, and we had it overruled. But it is attempted to play all sorts of tricks with the money. The officers parade the streets with flags, go to public dinners, and drink abun dance of gin and waver at the expense of the poor. One of them drew the sword upon me, and attempted to run me through. Now, what we want is to have the money fairlydivicLd amongst the members. _ _ Alderman GinnW said he believed, for the reasons stated there, and for other reasons, that he could not decide ; but recommended the parties to refer the case to Mr. Tidd Pratt, and The Secretary put all the money in to Mr. Goodman's hands, and consented to abide by the authority of tha gentleman. WORSHIP-STREET. THEATRICAL Mos.—John Belasco, orother to the well. known prize-fighter of that name, appeared upon a warrant before Mr. Broughton, charged with having violently as saulted a glass-dealer named Henry Davis. The complainant, whose person exhibited marks of severe and recent ill-treatment, stated that while passing through Petticoat-lane, on the afternoon of Monday last, he was accosted by the prisoner, who told him that a gentleman, with whom he had been in communication, had informed him that Mr. Barnard Gregory was to perform that even ing at the Haymarket Theatre, and_ that he wished him to organise as many persons as he could collect together to hoot him off the stage. The prisoner was accompanied at the time by a large mob of the lowest characters in the dis trict, and offered him a shilling, together with a free admis sion to the theatre, and as much liquor as he chose to par take of, if he would join the expedition and allow his name to be inserted in a book in which those of all the others were inscribed. Witness, however, refused to take any part in the proceedings, upon which the prisoner distributed a quantity of halfpence amongst his followers, to pay their postage by the penny steam-boat to Hungerford-stairs, and they all set out on their errand. Shortly before t hey parted, the the prisoner threatened that he would "serve h i m o •evening, refusing to form one of the party, but be saw nomoreof him until the preceding when they accidentally met the epithets, each other at a p l.n ub g lic h .h im ou pri soner, after asset struck him on the nose with the bow l of a to b acc o pipe , and with the Petticoat-lane, most icoat- scurrilous laneand instantly followed up the attack by a violent blow with his fist, which blackened both his eyes, and caused an effusion of blood from the nose that had continued, at intervals, ever since. In answer to a question from the magistrate, the wit ness stated that when the prisoner made the tirse_bveylure to him he was in company with an acquaintance, "o was also solicited to proceed with the mot to the theatre ; but that person vas then unable, from the pressure of business, to attend and give evi. dente. On being called upon for his defence the prisoner declared that the whole of the complainant's state ment relative to their alleged interview on the previous Monday was a fabrication, and that with regard to the assault in the public-house, the complainant himself was the aggressor, by flinging at him a quart pot, anal that he m e r e ly ac t e d i n self- defence. 'The 'p r i soner then chiled Edward Myers, a Jew clothesman, who corroborated the latter part of his de fence, but admitted that the prisoner had uttered some ex asperating expressions to the complainant before any per sonal violence was resorted to. On being interrogated by the magistrate, the witness said that the contemplated gathering to iuterrupt the performances of the theatre had been the common subject of conversation in Petticoat-lane for the last fortnight, but that he bad not known the defendant to be mixed up in it. The complainant here intimated that he should be able to bring several witnesses in support of his testimony, and amongst them the brother of a publican in the neighbour hood, whom the defendant had also threatened with violence because he refused to connect himself with the riotous faction. Mr. BROUGHTON said it was impossible in the present im perfect state of the evidence to arrive at a correct judgment on the case; and as both parties were anxious for an adjourn ment, he should order the warrant to stand over, and require the prisoner to enter into recognisances for his future ap pearance. THAMES. An old Cambridgeshire man named John Hillard, who carried a basket containing blackberries, was brought before Mr. .1 3 AI 111 a4e1 charged witla selling pv4912914 Dernq of the deadly nightshade, and causing the deaths of Thomas Parker, late proprietor of he Veteran beer-shop in the Whitechapel road, and a child named Jones, aged three years, who died in the London lloTital. Police-constable Bird, 105 B, stated, from a descriptio which he received of a man who had been selling poisonous berries in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, he apprehended the prisoner that merning in Stretton-ground, Westminster, while he was vending blackberries, and on taking him into the presence of Mrs. Parker, the widow of the man who died in the hospital, she at once recognised him as the man who sold her what he described as nettle-berries on Saturday last, which she formed into a pie, and said he had murdered her husband. Mr. 13ALLANTINE supposed an inquest had been held on the deceased persons?' Inspector Donegan, of the H divi sion, said there had been, and it was adjourned until Wed nesday, for the purpose of affording time to apprehend the man. - ........ Mr BALLANTINE required evidence on which he could either remand or commit the man. Donegan said Mrs. Parker identified the prisoner, and said he sold her the poisonous berries. She was at present at home and very i!). . Mr. 11.11.1.ANTINE—She might as well be in Heaven. What you are telling me is not evidence. Surely some other per son saw the pris,,ne: selling t he poisonous berries. Donegan—Yes, sir; an old man was present when Mrs. Parker purchased the berries of the prisoner. Mr. BALLANTINE—Where is he? Donegan—l h av e been looking after him this aft ernoon , an d cannot find him. I sha ll see him to night I have no d ou bt. Mr. BaLLANTINE—Then I will commit the prisoner till to-morrow, and I shall then e x p ec t some ev id ence . The prisoner was then reman d e d t ill t hi s d ay. The other persons lying in the va r i ous h osp i ta l s, w h o were a ttacked with severe illness after eating poison o u s b err i es , are, with one exception, going on f avoura bl y . John Stevens, a powerf u l swart h y man a b out 50 years of age, better known by the name of Gipsy Stevens, pro" prietor of the large Crown and Anchor booth erected at various fairs, and who has for some months past been the landlord of the Mulberry -tree public- house, in Stepney, wag brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with committing a murderous assault on Trinity Stevens, his wife. It appeared from the eviden ce th a t a t a l ate h our o n Wed - • nesday night, about 11 o'clock, Mr. James Swan, a bill dis. counter, residing in the Old Jewry, was passing the Mulberr tree when he heard a woman within the house shrieking loud'," and calling out "Murder." He immediately rushed upstairs into a room and found the prisoner beating his wife, who was lying stretched on the ground bleeding copiously froul severe wound on the head, which Stevens had just befor e laid open with a fender, an d k noc k e d h er d own. Stevens • knelt on his wife's chest, and b ea t h er h ea d on t h e floor in Mr. Swan's presence. The gentl eman . i n t er f ere d, ca lled the police,, and gave the prisoner i n t o cus t o d y. M rs . Stevens' who is a gipsy, was c o nve y e d b y t h e po li ce i n a ca b to the London Hospital, where h e r woun d s were d resse d. A certi ficate from the house s urgeon , M r . W or d sworth, was put nt stating that Trinity Stev e ns was rece i ve d i nto t h e hospi i al with a severe wound of the s ca lp, an d t h at s h e was at Pre" sent in danger therefrom. Sh e was su b sequent l y removedto her own home, and in the course of yesterday she Wa s visited by Mr. Bride, a surgeon, residin g i n J ama i c a-street , Commercial-road, m found her in a very dangerous condi" tion. Besides the wound on her scalp she had received very severe bruises. _ The prizoner offered no defence or excuse for his brataliti, and Mr. BALLANTINE remanded Lira for a week, and said he should take no bail for him.
