SECON D EDITION. eltoovins LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1846. By a majority of eighty-three, in a House of merely one hundred and fifty-nine, Lord G. BENTINCICS Amendment, that the continuance of the existing duties upon sugar be for eleven months instead of one, was yesterdc.y evening defeated. Although the discussion which arose out of that amendment was superficially insignificant, we may nevertheless derive such deductions from the tone in which it was con ducted as are in the highest degree acceptable, and not in the very lowest degree significant. There was a brevity of opposition and a quietude of expression about the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, and a feeble reflex of those characteristics about his abettor, Sir ROBERT H. INGLIS, which induce us to antici* pate an agreeable moderation in the attitude to be assumed by the Protectionists. Hitherto they have been manceuvering in a blaze of intense light or in a gloom of unnatural shadow ; they have revelled, as it were, in a species of Parlia mentary chiar'oscuro—their distortions have been only the more apparent from the exaggerated lustre of their diction ; their deformities have only been more manifest from the meretricious decorations by which they were bedizened. Now, however, we are gratified to observe among them in dications that theiare becoming conscious of their blunder, and that they henceforth purpuse to speak in moderation, to asperse in moderation, and to protest in moderation. Such are evidently the intentions of their principal leaders; and although those intentions may be occasionally frustrated by the enthusiasm of some fanatical cadet, we shall cordially anticipate their fulfilment until we observe a total alteration in their tactics. On Monday evening the question will be defini tively submitted to the consideration of our legis lators, and when we reflect upon the impossibility of maintaining the present system of differential duties longer in operation, the rapid approach of that critical moment cannot but afford an universal satisfaction. Not only are the con sumers of sugar anxious for a speedy and per manent settlement of the question, but even those most interested in the prosperity of our colonial possessions, the importers and the merchants them selves, are equally desirous of such a settlement of the matter. They feel that some alteration of the importation duties must take place, and they long to know what that alteration will be. It is preposterous for Lord GEORGE BENTINCK to haggle about the produce of a mere segment of our colonies, and to insist upon settling whether 60,000, or 46,000 tons are imported from the Mauritius ; the great fact is—and there is no gainsaying it—that the cultivators of our colonial sugar-cane are unable to satisfy the demands of the mother country, that the annual importation of sugar has been gradually de creasing since 1840! Since that year the individual consumption of sugar throng bout the kingdom has dimi nished nearly twenty-four per cent. Such facts there is no means of vanquishing. The Protectionists perceive this ; they also perceive their own false position as casilling debaters, and they are therefore affording us every token of a more subdued behaviour in future. We may consequently anticipate no very pro tracted discussions upon the sugar question, but may look for a rational and satisfactory close of the pre sent session somewhere towards the termination of August. And while we may congratulate Parlia ment upon the arrival of this periodical hiatus of re laxation, we may in solemn truth congratulate the country upon the character of the great session which will then have been brought to a happy conclusion. What has commenced with the attainment of one ex traordinary commercial boon promises to close with the realisation of another. We have already ob tained a free access to the most necessary and the most nutritious article of food in creation ; we have every prospect of receiving every facility for the purchase of another, neither so necessary nor so nu tritious as corn, we will grant, hut which is nevertheless, in our artificial state of society, abso lutely requisite to ensure the comfort and the sobriety of the poorer classes. With no sugar to sweeten his tea, or to render his coffee palatable, is there not a lure to the labouring man in the well flavoured beverages of the beer-shop and the gin palace ? An easier access to this single article of consumption would, we are most fully persuaded, promote to no inconsiderable extent the temperance of our industrial population. Hence it is that we are anxious to perceive a reduction in the duties upon tobacco, since that sober means of excitement forms a beneficent substitute for the intoxicating effects of beer, brandy, and other fermented liquors. By such a reduction in tobacco, not only might the morals of the community be improved, but the revenue likewise he materially benefited. It is in these apparently trivial modifications of our import duties that the sagacity of a wise Government frequently consists. The reduction of a few shillings per hundredweight in a given article tends not unfrequently to elevate the moral condition of a whole nation. The obliteration of a cipher may sometimes advance civilisation by half a century. Such are the si►nple solutions of some of the most ab struse problems of legislation ! Such are the minute strings which move the colossal machinery of an empire ! Mr. DUNCOMBE last night moved for a Select Committee, to inquire into the charges contained in the petition of EDWARD BAKER, late a warden of the Milbank Penitentiary, in which situation he had con tinued from the month of September, 1842, until April, 1846. The petitioner preferred serious complaints against the Governor of that prison, alleging that great abuses existed both in the management of affairs, and as regarded cruelty and oppression towards the prisoners. It will be recol lected that Sir PETER LAURIE, some time since, pub lished a pamphlet under the singular, but expressive, title of " Killing no Murder," in which the results of the system adopted in that prisuri as to the in sanity, deaths, or pardons on medical grounds, of the prisoners, and also the state and condition of the convicts who have been removed to the hulks after undergoing the discipline sanctioned therein, is fully set forth and commented on. The worthy Alderman ascribes the frightful consequences to the "separate system," which he asserts to be injurious to the minds of the prisoners, dangerous to their bodily health, demoralising in its effects, and burdensome to the country from its great cost. If any of the above are really the consequences of the system, it is high time that it should be abolished, and that some better and more humane plan should be adopted in its place. The extraordinary data on which his argument is founded cannot be controverted, for they are taken from statistical details contained in the reports of the Inspectors of Prisons ; and from the very large proportion of the cases of insanity, so much greater than that which is found to occur in other prisons, and also from the extraordinary number of suicides and attempted suicides, which werementioned by Mr. DUNCOMBE last night, it is perfectly manifest that there is a screw loose somewhere, that there is something either in the system itself, or in the mode of its administration, which requires a strict investigation and an immediate remedy. We, therefore, regret the decision of the House in refusing the Committee asked for. We cannot accede to the argument urged, that to appoint a Committee of the House would be at once to condemn the Governor. We know nothing of Captain GROVES, and we award him that which is the privilege of every Englishman—viz., that he is to b e supposed innocent, until his guilt is proved, and in proportion to the weight and magnitude of the charges, so much the greater should be our reluct ance to give credence to the statements ; but surely this is not to be carried to the extent of refusing all investigation until full and ample proof be given. If this was the case the labours of such a Committee might well be dispensed with, the condemnation would be contained in its appointment, and the House would, like the inexorable Rhadamanthus, first punish and then inquire into the complaints. We do not go the length of saying that the House ought, on every trivial charge, to subject the accused to the trouble and annoyance of entering into his defence; but when there is a degree of probability, a verisimili tude, in the charges, when they are brought forward by a man of unimpeached character, who, from his situation, has opportunities of know ing their truth, and when such a person pledges himself to prove their accuracy before a Committee, we think that a sufficient ground at least is laid for a full inquiry and investigation, the granting of which could not be supposed to militate in any degree against the person or persons charged. And such an inquiry must be far more satis factory to all parties, if conducted before a tribunal which cannot be suspected of any partiality, and the proceedings of which are open to the public, than any private investigation by prison inspectors, no matter how respectable they may be, more particu larly when it is alleged that those inspectors are in a certain degree under the influence of the party against whom the accusations are made. No charge whatever has been made against the character or motives of the petitioner; he held for more than three years and a half a responsible office in the prison, which he alleges that he was THE SUN, LONDON', SATTY'RnAI? obliged to resign in consequence of the oppressive and tyrannical conduct of the Governor towards officers and prisoners. The charges are plain and distinct, .and, if well-founded, must be perfectly ca pable of proof. We should think that Captain GROVES would himself be most anxious for a full in vestigation ; for, until such takes place, the public mind cannot be satisfied on the subject ; if by a pos sibility those charges should be established, the person who could act in such a manner must be held quite incompetent and unfit for the discharge of duties requiring the greatest degree of discretion and judgment. The decision of the House appears to have been greatly influenced by the promise of the Home Secretary, that a full inquiry should take place without delay, and his statement that he was prepared to lay the report of the Inspectors of Prisons, which contained a distinct answer to each of the sixteen charges, on the table. The matter, therefore, is not yet concluded, and on the result of the promised investigation being made known, and the report of the Inspectors published, it will be competetent to any Honourable Member again to call the attention of the House to the sub ject. From the advanced period of the session, and the delay which must necessarily occur before such an iniestigaticr. can take place, it will be impossible fur the matter to be brought to a conclusion until next year, and the public mind, during that period, will be kept in suspense on the subject. From the Roman States the news continues to be of the most cheering description. The new Pons is occupying himself in introducing reforms and im provements into every department of his administra tion. He is daily signing orders for the liberation of political prisoners. The following official announce ment on the subject of railroads was published on the 14th in the Privileged Gazette of Bologna by Cardinal VANNICELLI CASONI, the Legate who had just returned from Rome :—" Amongst the im portant affairs that have engaged the attention of the Holy Father since his accession to the Pontifical throne is the construction of railroads in the Papal States, for which several projects have been presented. Pius IX. being desirous of acting with prudence in this serious affair, which is of the highest interest to his beloved subjects, has resolved to appoint a com mission to examine these projects. His Holiness has consequently ordered, that if there are other propo sitions to make they shall be sent to the Secretary of State for the Interior, who will receive and collect them together, waith - q the ulterior decision of his Holiness." Prince HENRY, of Prussia, uncle to the presen KING, died at Rome on the 11th. The greatest excitement had been occasioned in Kiel, by the publication of the decree of the King of DENMARK, on the subject of the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The students had met and proposed to burn the obnoxious decree. This proposition, however, was not carried into effect, but Professor CHRISTIANSEN, the representative of the University, was directed to solemnly protest against the decree in the name of the German people, and to defend their rights. The Past Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Posen, dated the 15th :—" It is reported here that the Emperor of RUSSIA intends to grant an amnesty to all the Poles still remaining in Siberia, who were sent there for the part that they took in the revolution of 1830. M. KOURNAOFFSKI, who was arrested and put in prison at Sonnenburg, just after the last insurrection of Posen, for publishing a revo lutionary lithographic print, has attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself in four places, but he is expected to recover." Madrid papers of the 18th have arrived. The Heraldo, in an article on the subject of the QUEEN'S marriage, proposes that Don FRANCISCO D'Assis, the eldest son of Don FRANCISCO DI PAULA as a candidate for her MAJESTY'S hand, in preference to his brother, Don ENRIQUE. Don FRANCISCO, it appears, has been specially invited to the royal banquet to be given in honour of the birth-day of the QUEEN-MOTHER. The Liberal party con sider that the obje , lt of the QUEEN-MOTHER, in thus apparently favouring Don FRANCISCO is to ex cite a jealousy between him and Don ENRIQUE, and to create dissensions in the Liberal party by starting two candidates. While Din FRaNcrsco, ho wever, is thus ostensibly put forward as a candidate fur the QUEEN'S hand, an intrigue is, it is said, going on in Paris under the auspices of MARTINEZ DR LA Rosa, to bring about speedily, but quietly, a marriage be tween the QUEEN and the Duke of GENOA, the second son of the King of SARDINIA. It is true that of late his Sardinian Majesty has exhibited slightly liberal tendencies, or to speak more correctly, has had something like a personal quarrel with Austria, and is endeavouring to rally an anti-Austrian party around him, hut the base treachery of the Prince DE CARISNAN of 1821 has never been forgotten or forgiven, and an alliance with his son would justly disgust the whole Spanish nation. The Trapani alliance seems to be completely given up, Prince DE CARINI, who had been sent as Ambassador from Naples to Spain for the purpose of forwarding the views of Count TRAPANI, has been recalled, and M. ANTONINI, late the Neapolitan Am bassador at Vienna, has been accredited to the Court of Madrid. MADRID BoLsa, JULY 18.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34k for cash ; the Fire per Cents., at 21 ; the Debt without Interest, at Gi ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 390; and those of Isabel, at 203. EV July on the Northern Railroad, there has been scarcely a single French line on which accidents have not occurred. On 'Wednesday night one on the trains on the Paris and ouen line was nearly burned. A lamp which lighted the snail-waggon having got out of order, the spirits of wine which it contained fell on the table, and set fire to some papers laid upon it. The clerk of the post-office, after vainly endea vouring to extinguish the fire, opened the window and called for aid, but his voice not being heard and the flames increasing►, he leaped out of the waggon and broke his leg. The train, however, soon after wards stopped, and the fire easily extinguished. A letter from Port-au-Prince, of the 17th June, announces the settlement of the differences between France and Hayti, and the return of the French Consul to Port-au-Prince on the 16th of June, where he was received with a salute from the fortifications, and with enthusiasm by the people. The following is an extract from the letter : " This great and difficult question is now terminated. The negotiators, who have at length settled the I.ff dr, have been engaged in it fir a long time, and have found it exceedingly difficult. The propoAtions made on the part of the Govern ment by the President were twice rejecter'. The English Consul, Mr. Usher, and the Vice-Consul, have been very active in settling the question, and the final settlement is in a great measure owing to them. The conitions upon which the affair is arranged are, first, an indeininty of 5,000 gourdes for the injury done to M. Duhrac ; second, in demnity for damages done to other French subjects; third, the Government of Hayti to write a letter, asking the French Consul to resume his functions; and, fourth, a salute of twenty-one Burs to the Consul on entering the port, and the French frigate Thetis to return the salute." The Algiers papers of the 17th represent the country as completely tranquillised. M. SALVANDY, accompanied by Marshal BUGEAUD, had returned to Algiers highly delighted by the reception he had met with in the Provinces. The Paris Bourse was much firmer on Thursday than it had been for some days previously. This may be in some measure referred to the circumstance that rumours, which had been in circulation on Tuesday respecting a respectable bankkg-house, were ascer tained on Thursday to be totally devoid of foundation.

RAI LWA Y COM in EES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. CORIJW.&LL. This Committee reassembled to-day at eleven o'clock. Mr. JAMES addressed the Committee on the part of the petitioners, contending that the course of the railway through the town of Bodmin was so injurious to that place, as to be tolerated only by an amount of public good, which was not by any means established by evidenca. He also contended that Bodmin, from its importance (notwithstand ing Mr. Brunet's evidence), the sessions being held there, and a large amount of business transacted there, was the place where the line should be laid out if a central commu nication were contemplated. He then adverted to the gra dient of 1 in 37, which he felt assured would never have been sanctioned by Parliament at a period when legislation on railway matters had arrived at its present perfection. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Monitcur Parisien of Wednesday publishes the following as the official defence of the Northern Railroad Company, against the attacks of the papers : " The Courrier Francais persits in affirming that an acci dent happened on the 12th, on the Northern Railroad, and that, in consequence of a land-slip, an engine and six car riages went off the rails. The Company affirms that, since the unfortunate event of the Bth, no engine, no carriage has run off the rails. From the 9th the working of the road has presented none but simple incidents, unavoidable by the best regulated services, and which have not occasioned any misfortune. On the 11th, a piston of the engine, No. 42 L (a new engine), broke, and the boucho,s used in clean ing the boiler came off, and the water and steam escaped. ' This occurred at the Arraa station. The passengers may have been frightened, but they did not run the slightest risk. On the 12th, a regulator got out of order between Mon tigny and Somain, on the line between Valenciennes and Douai. The only result was a trifling delay. The statement of the land-slip on the 12th is as incorrect as that of the sinking of the ground to which the accident of the Bth has been attributed. Since the Northern Railroad has been opened there has not been auyland-slip, nor even any indica tion of it in the causeways to give any evidence of such slips. The railway was not given up to the company by the Go vernment until after the two chief engineers, who had the direction of its construction, had declared by a report under their signatures that it was ready for public use. The re port for the first section, from Paris to Amiens, is signed by M. Onfroy de Breville ; the report for the second section, from Amiens to the Belgian frontier, is signed by M. Busche Independently of the watching; and the ordinary superinten dence of the road, the company, from the time of its open ing, has specially appointed to the keeping up of the road a number of cantonniers, much exceeding the usual propor tion. Besides the superintendents and watchmen, there have been stationed three or four workmen for every kilo metre (quarter (q w ua h r e t t e h r e o r f em a b l a e n a k o m e e ) ntsor according euttin t gs. otheTnhaestueraereof pre cautions g cont continue een them et as g in a g s s t o h f ey ra m il railways, and appearand t t l o i e b c e o m u s p e i t t u n will an(' even for a long er period. To augment the safety of the service, and although a far greater speed presents nu danger, the company has fixed provisionally the speed of the trains at from 28 to 32 kilometres (7 to 8 leagues) an hour. The railed way on which the accident of Fampoux took place had been disarranged to a small extent by the effect of the accident; it was immediately repaired with the greatest Icare, and the public service has been re-e.stablislud. Thus the mistake which was committed in departing from Arras, and which some journals comment upon with a marked ex itihpoasutsepderil. over ti T ii h s e lin f e ol o lo f w r i a n i g is f s o v r er a e the facts er : i n h dis tancee of from 600 to 800 metres only , whe n t he en g i neer per • train was h w a i ceived the mistake, and put back. The head of the Arras station had set off at the same moment on the other line of rails, with a reserve locomotive, to inform him of it. At all events, the first superintendent would have stopped the train before it could have passed the first kilometre." The Courrier Francais of Thursday republishes this official defence, and appends to it the following observations:— "We insert this letter without comment. To whom is it necessary for us to demonstrate that it proves absolutly no thing against ;the precise and positive assertion which we have made respecting the bad construction of the road, the bad organisation of the service, and the numerous accidents by which the public has been thrown into a state of conster nation ? The Ministry and company are at issue, and their respective agents and engineers affirm that neither have anything to reproach themselves with! Who can they hope to convince by such testimony ? For ourselves, we have sa id much, we have said all that could be said, on both the company and the Ministry ;—it is useless for u s t o add that we maintain our assertions. We give little importance to the denegations of the Cabinet or to those of M. de Roths child? We wait with confidence the result of the in quest, being but too certain that our convictions will b e I - - - - - - confirmed."que Since the terrific catastrophe of the Bth of CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

BLAKE V. w.trAscoußT. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Honour the whole morning. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE GILES. INTEnEST ON MORTGAGE DEBTS.—In this case the bank• rapt had carried on business as a lodging-house-keeper, at Worthing, Sussex. An application was made for the Learned Commissioner's opinion as to the interest payable on mort gage debts. lt appeared that the money had been taken with interest, which had not been paid for years, and in making up the account a rest was made each year and interest charged thereon. The Learned COMMISSIONER held that compound interes! could not be allowed. An application was then made for the bankrupt's certificate, which had been suspended by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, until a sum of money which had been paid in preference had been refunded, which had been done. The Learned CommissioNEK said he could not grant it on a mere application, but must have the minutes of the Com missioner. The case was ultimately adjourned to go before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. TIME FOR GIVING NOTICES UNDER THE BANKRUPT ACT, In a case where a party was summoned under the Bank rupt Act, with a view of making him a bankrupt, an objec tion was taken as to service of the notice. It was urged, that by the 29th Rule of Court four days' notice must be given, which, it was contended, must be taken to mean four clear days. -f fhe Learned COMMISSIONER said there was another clause which appeared to be frequently overlooked, in which it was declared that in all cases where any particular number of days was mentioned in the Act they should be taken exclu sive of the first and incht , ive of the last, except it should fall on a Sunday, Christmas-day, Good Friday, or other day ap pointed for a public fast MARLBRV-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Miller, a smart, well- dressed youth, was charged with picking the pocket of Wm. Johnson, Esq , barrister-at-:aw, residing at the York Hotel, Blacktriars-bridge, of a hand kerchief, under the f Bowing circumstances : Between 7 and 8 o'clock last evening, as the prosecutor was passing along Holborn, near to St. Giles's Church, the prisoner lifted up his pocket and took out his handkerchief; which he secreted about his person. The prosecutor was un aware of having been robbed, but a gentleman who had witnessed the transaction having informed him of his loss, the prisoner was seized on the spot, and the stolen property found in his possession. Mr. HAttpwroc (to the prisoner)—Do You wish to say anything in your defence? Prisoner- - I have nothing to say. air. Johnson said, that as he had a great pressure of pro fessional business coming on at Winchester, Hampshire, he should wish that the prisoner might be summarily dealt with. He believed the prisoner was not known to the police. Wilks, the gaoler, said he had been committed from this Court, and convicted of felony at the Old Bailey. Mr. HARDWICK said, as the case was so clear, and with the fact of the firmer conviction, he must send him for trial, and no doubt he would be sent out of the country. FORTUNATE PRESERVATION OF A LARGE SUM OF MONEY. —A person, who gave the name of Francis Garland, of gen tlemanly appearance, not wholly recovered from a haavv de bauch, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Inspector Aggs, of the C division, stated that between twelve and one o'clock this morning, the defendant was brought to the station-house by two gentlemen, perfect strangers to him, who had found him insensibly drunk, lying on his back in Regent-street, surrounded by prostitutes and bad characters. His right hand was full of sovereigns, and about him he had thirty-nine more, and also some Bank of England notes. The defendant said he had drank till ho completely lose his senses. He was fined .55.. which of course he paid with alacrity. WESTMINSTER- BRIDGE.—We understand that this bridge sank on Wednesday considerably. Sir Howard Douglas predicted that it would sink, in a pamphlet which appeared some time ago, but the piers have subsided further than he anticipated. The Committee have resolved unani mously on pulling it down. BURN'S COMMERCIAL GLANCE FOR THE FIRST SIR MONTHS OF 1846.—We have here, in a simgle sheet the whole statistics of the cotton manufacture of Great Britain during the first six months of 1846, arranged in such a manner that a glance will aff ,rd any information on the sub ject that may be required. Mr. Gladstone, during the time that he presided over the Board of Trade, gave orders that " this very useul publication," as he justly termed it. should ue regularly taken in for the use of the Board ; and every mer chant should follow this example. A counting house can no mare be said to be completely furnished without Burn's Commercial Glance, than an attorney's would be without the Law Almanac. Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Goulburn ; have each borne testimony to the merits of this very " useful," " excellent," and " valuable" document.

Notwithstanding so mans' " last survivors," however, we have the satisfaction to state that another yet lives,—that a hale and worthy tar, 87 years of age, named Michael Gould, now residing in Poole, was on board the Royal George at the moment of her going down, and with several others was most providentially preserved by escaping through a port-hole. The circumstances of Gould, who has no pension, have re cently been submitted to the Board of Admiralty, and Cap tain Hamilton, the secretary to the First Lord, was promptly instructed to forward a guinea for the immediate necessities of the worthy old sailor, which he did in a letter full of kind remarks and inquiries.— Poole Herald.

Among the names received this morning by the Com mittee is that of Lord Stanley. At Liverpool, and other principal places largely connected with trade and commerce, the lists have been pretty well filled. Still, however, much remains to be done to meet the pressing demands of the unfortunate individuals who have lost their all by the tire. We have most satisfactory accounts this morning from the country relative to the crop 3. Harvest is expected to be general in Lancashire next week.
