England on this subject, if we had men with heads— with heads, Sir ! said he, to manage the negotiations. lie proposed a sketch of a bill which he would vote for, to extend the United States laws over our own citizens there—for fortifying the mouth of the Columbia, erecting light houses, B‘c. After a few remarks from Mr. West eott and Mr. Cass, the subject was passed over till Monday, when Mr. Cass speaks on the subject. COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From the Courier an-1 Enquirer.) NEW YORK, Mar 30. —The public attention is wholly occupied by the events of the war with Mexico, its effects and consequences, actual and probable, The decisive supe riority manifested by the American troops in the actions of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, on the left bank of the Rio Grande, gratifies the pride of the nation, while it hastens, as is willingly believed, the prospects of peace. In this last view, particularly, it concerns 113 in these remarks, since peace is the desire and chief interest of men of business. The effect, thus far, of the war has been felt most severely in New Orleans, mere indeed, as yet, from the apprehension of evil, and not from the occurrence of any loss or disaster. The pressure is none the less real on this account. The withdrawal of orders on European account and the suspen sion of credits on Northern cities—the first shape in which - the consequences of war began to show themselves—arose i mainly from the enhanced premiums of insurance which would, it was reasonably supposed, be charged on shipments from New Orleans. The calculations of profits are close that a difference of two or three per cent.n now so the cost of insurance would turn the scale against the i adventure, and ' this difference might be much gFeater, as the orders were suspended or withdrawn. Meantime produce New Orleans ; but as therelittle or no poured into wasno sale for it, ships comparatively scarce, and freights rising; the factors were unwilling or unable to make advances against it; and thu s the pressure in the city reacted u ponthe interior—and as th e planter or producer of the Mississippi valley finds his staples unsaleable, he is prevented from buying his ordinary sup plies of goods and groceries, and from paying at maturity existing engagements for previous purchases. The merchants on the Atlantic sea-board, who furnish these supplies on credit, will in turn find their anticipated resources from their customers dried up, and thus the circle of inconvenience and disappointment is widened, until all departments of industry become more or less involved. The motives, therefore, for desiring peace are not on our side likely to diminish, while the clear proof that the Mexi can cannot, even with greatly superior numbers, compete successfully with us in arms, will, it is hoped, convince them —the point of honour being satisfied by the gallantry with which they have unquestionably met the battle—that peace is also their chief interest. The President of the United States, in 'the Message of the 11th instant, wherein he re commended war, expressly says, " it is his anxious desire to terminate hostilities speedily, and to bring all matters in dispute between this Government and Mexico to an early and amicable adjustment ; and in this view he would be pre pared to renew negotiations whenever Mexico shall be ready to receive propositions or to make propositions of her own." It may be taken for granted, we think, that while making every preparation vigorously to push hostilities both by land and by water, this Government will renew the tender of negotiation, and he ready on the slightest intimation, direct or indirect from Mexico, to settle in a liberal spirit the exist ing topics of controversy. The blockade of the coast of Mexico en both seas, which was foreshadowed in our remarks by the packet of thel 16th as inevitable, has before this time been declared in the Gulf, and will be in the Pacific, as soon as the Commander of the American squadron there shall hear that a gun has been fired on the Rio Grande. There is ample force in both seas to make the blockade effective and rigid. As England has more commerce with Mexico, more interest in her mines and in her public debt than any other nation, it is hoped that an additional inducement may thence arise for her, first to ar range amicably and promptly her controversy about boun daries on the north-west coast with us, and then to interpose her friendly mediation for restoring peace between us and Mexico. All look to England now for the next move in the Oregon matter, which, on our side, has been eclipsed in pre sent interest by the Mexican war, and which, moreover, by the notice given in conformity with the resolution of Con gress to the British Government by the President, seems for the time to have passed out of our domain. In what precise form that notice was given is not known; but the President will have been unfaithful to the spirit in which it was adopted by Congress, if he shall not have accompanied it with an expressed desire that an amicable termination of the long pending controversy might thereby be accelerated. The Senate of the United States have recently given another proof of their spirit of liberal forbearance by postponing the consideration of the Bill from the House of Representatives for extending a territorial Government over our citizens in Oregon. Tney await the action of the British Govern ment in the full confidence that it will be both early and amicable. As yet no very serious decline has occurred in our public funds by reason of the war, or of the expenses consequent upon it. The United States Six per Cent. Steck range at from five to six per cent. above par, and the stocks of the solvent states maintain their prices. The policy of the ad ministration, as to providing means for the large military and naval preparations in progress and in contemplation, is not yet disclosed. The appropriations actually made over and above the ordinary expenditure are— Dollars. For paying and equipping volunteers 10,000,000 Additional estimates for army proper 2,000,000 12,000,0 If the Report of the Naval Com m it tee o f the House ofße presentatives shall find favour, as seems probable, whi c h re commends the building immediately of twelve steam-vessels of war of different sizes, there will be added to the above seven millions more. It is estimated that there may be about ten millions surplus on hand; this would leave a defi ciency of nine millions to be provided for by taxes, by loans, or by the issue of Treasury notes—by either, or all. If reli ance is to be had upon loans, they can only be negotiated on advantageous terms, by making provision at the same time by a specific pledge of funds for the payment of interest and the gradual redemption of the principal. As they must be ne g otiated at home—recourse to Europe being un d ers t oo d t o be hopeless—there will, perhaps, be less hesitation in resort ing to the necessary taxation, when it is known that its pro ceeds are to be kept at home and not paid to foreign stock holders. In any event, however, if the Government ex penses shall be considerably augmented, the present prices of United States securities must go considerably lower. Exchange on Europe is falling sensibly. Various causes combine to produce this result. The scarcity of money is one—occasioned by the necessity under which the Banks o Deposits in this city find themselves to be in constant read ness to meet the diafts of the United States Government for the accumulated revenue, amounting here just now to about four and a half millions—and the stringency, therefore, of their discounts, which the other banks are obliged to imitate, that they may not fall into debt to the Deposit banks. Another is the influx of bills of exchange from New Orleans, where it is difficult to effect sales—and a third is the large shipments of produce to Europe from this port and others, and the comparative suspension of orders for goods in re turn. The rates will be found quoted below, as compared with those that prevailed at the departure of the last steamer, as also a comparison of the prices of Six per Cent. Stock. 15th May. 29th May. Exchange on London 109% to 109 3 / 4 108 to 10874 Exchange on Paris U. S. Six per Cent Stock 1054, to 196 c. 104 to 105. Concerning State Stocks there is nothing new to commu nicate. The confidence of the Treasurer of Pennsylvania is still strongly expressed that he will be able to make pro vision for the August dividend, and the counties are at work to do their part in paying their respective quotas into the State Treasury in time. The stake is so great for Pennsyl vania, that we feel persuaded no ordinary or easily sur mountable obstacles will be permitted to interfere with their punctuality. The arrival of the steamer Great Britain to-day, after a long passage, occasioned little or no stir in the market. The somewhat better accounts for cotton stiffened holders a little. In bread stuffs no perceptible change. Holders, in the absolute absence of any demand, ask prices which a real offer for any considerable quantity would soon cause them to abate. The most agreeable intelligence by her was that of the light in which the notice, as authorised•by Congress, seemed to be received by the London press, as tending to facilitate an amicable and prompt adjustment of the Oregon contro versy. The rumour in one of the London papers that Mexico hild asked the intervention of France and England to protect her possessions, and especially California, against the United States, and that such intervention might possibly be under taken, commands no credit here. The right of the United States, as a belligerent, to attack and conquer, if they can, any portion of the territory of their enemy, is too clear and unquestionable to be liable to any interruption from third parties, standing in the relation of neutral between the two. Our latest dates from Mexico are of the 2d inst. Paredes stilt was President. Congress had not convened, and there had e not been any ne w revo l u ti on or pronunciamiento.

DIE SURREY CLUB AND GRODN'D My NN, ESQ.—On Thursday and p r 4 treiTAl m r, N c r A . played at the Oval, and a finer exhibition mit t h e ga me has seldom been witnessed. e T f be the s • o ctence of mound crowded on each day, and the only drawback to the grclatiT cation produced by the proceeding was that, towards t h e latter part of the second day, when it was found it would be impossible to finish the match tha t evenin g , it was ascer tained that, in consequence of previous arrangement, and the following day being Saturday, there was no chance of the match being played out. The: result is, that all bets on the match a re off, whilst those _upon t he first innings are in favour of the Mitcham backers. The betting, of which ., there was a great d ea l, var i e d, as will readily be supposed, very much. At one point of the ,game 25 to 5 was taken on Mitcham, but at the moment when the last of the Sur rey wickets fell, the odds had turned round to 3 to 1 in their favour, that is, against Mitcham obtaining the 121. The score was as follows :—Surrey Club—First innings, 96; se cond innings, 168. Mitcham—First innnings. 144. Gravesend Town, with Pilch, Adams, and Redgate v. Islington Albion, with Dean, Dorrington, Hillyear, and Lillywhite.—This match was played at the Copenhagen ground on Thursday and Friday, and after much good play terminated in favour of the Albion, with seven wickets standing. OXFOILD AND CAMBRIDGE MATCIT, Farr:ay.—The game was resumed this morning, when the Cantabs, who had seorcd sixty-one on Thursday in their second hands, ran it up to 11G, leaving the Oxonians eighty-nine to win. This number they succeeded in obtaining, and eventually won the match with three wickets to down. The batting of Mr. Long, on the part of the Cambridge, was deserving the highest praise ; after scoring thirty-nine, he triumphantly brought. out his bat. Mr. C. Ridding's batting, also, on the part of the Oxonians, told well on the score. The play of both sides throughout the day was capital, but the latter ex celled in that great and requisite point, viz. , the fielding. In other respects they were equally matched. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY AT GREENWICH.—.On Saturday an Inquest was held at the residence of Captain Fowle, cf Wine-place, Greenwich, to take into consideration the death of bki Jane Grant Wilkinson, aged 30 years, who committed suicide. Miss Anne Fewle stated that the deceasedwas her sister-in-law, and had returned from Barbadoes six weeks ago. tip to Sunday last she appeared in her usual health and spirits, but on Monday she because melancholy, in consequence of the continued illness of a younger 'lister whom she had brought• over with her from the West Indies, labouring under temporary lunacy. Witness went out at the de ceased's request, and bought an ounce of the essential oil of almonds, which she said she wished to take back to Barbadoes with her for culinary purposes. On the night of Wednesday she heard the de eisased groaning in her bed, anti upon going into the room she dis covered that she was just dead. The bottle which had contained tike oil of almonds was in the bed. A medical man proved that the deceased took enough poison to destroy eight persons. The jury re turned a verdict of " Temporary Derangement." STRAWDERRIES.—Mr. Cuthill, the florist of Camber well. has been very successful this season In the cultivation of strawberries.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 13 (Sittings in Banco.) EADON V. BRANSON. This was a demurrer.by the defendant in an action for the recovery of a sum of money, paid by the plaintiff for the de fendant, for a number of railway shares, the defendant con tending by his pleas that the plaintiff was not entitled to re cover the amount, inasmuch as the shares the plaintiff had paid for for him were in railway companies that had not ob tained certificates of complete registration, which was neces sary to make the transaction legal. Mr. PASIILEY, wile appeared to support the demurrer, argued that the decision of the Court of Exchequer in Young v. Smith, was not correct, and asked this Court to come to a different decision. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., whe appeared for the plaintiff, csn tended that it did not appear from the defendant's pleas that the companies in which the defendant had been trafficking had not obtained certificates of complete registration, and when it was sought to get rid of a responsibility upon such grounds as those urged by the defendant, it was necessary to state it particularly upon the record. But he would apply himself to what he conceived to be the legitimate question the defendant sought by this demurrer to bring before the Court. The Learned Counsel then went on to argue the various sections in the Joint-stock Companies Act, and contended that it was quite immaterial whether the compa nies had obtained certificates of registration to entitle the plaintiff to recover in this action, that the Court of Exche quer, in Young v. Smith, had properly construed the meaning of the Legislature, and the law as it then stood was correct, and that if it was otherwise, all the sales of scrip and every scrip transaction would be decided to be illegal. As there are several other cases before the Court in which the same points are raised the Court took time to consider. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 13. (After Term Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) SAUNDERS V. CREAGH. Mr. Crowder, with whom was Mr. M. Smith, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant. • This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are bankers in Exeter, to recover the sum of 1081. from defen dant, who is a half•pay officer, and paymaster to the out pensioners of the south-west of England. The debt was alleged to have been incurred by plaintiff overdrawing his account at the bank. After a lengthened examination of witnesses, the case was referred to arbitration. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, June 13. SIR W. GOSSEIT, KNIGHT, V. NOWA PR 'NUL EG ES OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. This was a writ of error issued at the instance of the plaintiff, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons, to recover a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench pronounced in an action brought against the plaintiff by the defendant, who is an attorney in Norfolk-street, for trespass and false and illegal detention of the defendant's person. TheArronNEy-GENERAL opened the case for the plaintiff, but had not concluded when the Court rose. The further hearing is postponed till Monday. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (SATURDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. NORTH STAPPORDSHIRE. The Committee cn the three branches of this line met again shortly after eleven o'clock in Room B (New Houses the chair. Parliament). The Duke of Cleveland again to ok chair. Their Lordships were all present. said tha t a T t A t r c TALBOT, in n hadanswer e been o a d r q a u w e n s t from whi the h he Chairman,thought, would meet the views of the petitioner (Sir Henry Every), and would meet the approbation of the Committee. Mr. Parkes, the Parliamentary agent, was called to give certain formal evidence. The evidence of Mr. Bidder was then proceeded with. It contained no point of interest beyond those contained in Mr. Talbot's address, of which a full report was given in The Sun of yesterday (Friday). Mr. TALBOT then read the clause above referred to, which was to the effect that " nothing in this Act contained shall authorise or enable the said Company to purchase or take any property belonging to Sir Henry Every, in the parish of Eckington, without the consent in writing previously had and obtained of the said Sir H. Every, or his heirs," &c. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN objected to the use of the words " in the parish of Eckington," which he said would not restrict the Company from taking that part of the property which was situated in the parish of Etwall, adjoining the parish of Eckington. He therefore proposed the substitution of the words " in the county of Derby." Mr. Bidder said that there were no powers in the Act to take property in the parish of Etwall. Mr. TALBOT very strongly objected to the alteration, and a long discussion ensued, which ended in the adoption of the clause with the alteration proposed by Mr. Sergeant Allen. Mr. TALnur then proposed a clause to refer the question as to Mr. Cartwright's property to arbitrators, which Mr. FLUND expressed himself prepared to accept with some alteration. Mr. TALBOT objected to this alteration and a long discus sion ensued, which ended in the room being cleared. In about a quarter of an lour we were re-admitted, and The CHAIRMAN said, that the Committee had resolved upon a clause by which they thought both parties would be satisfied. Mr. FLUND, however, was not satisfied, and as the parties could not agree, The Committee ordered Mr. Flund to proceed with his case. Mr. FLUND said that before opening the case as to the injury to his clients he had to raise a very grave objection, which would be fatal to the further progress of the Bill. It was this; there was no estimate for the Uttoxeter and Stoke upon-Trent Branch, which diverged from the Churnet Valley line. Mr. AusTIN—A mere standing order objection. Mr. PARKES—It was disposed of in the Standing Orders' Committee, and they declared the standing orders complied with. Mr. FLUND continued—He would call their Lordships' attention to the 14th section of the 233 d Standing Order " for the consideration of Committees on Bills," in which they were directed to report the amount of the estimate for each branch, and whether they were of opinion that they were sufficient. Now, not only was there no special estimate for this branch, but he could prove that the estimate for the Bill was only sufficient for the main line (the Churnet Valley line), and could not, therefore, be said to include the branch. Mr. AUSTIN was about to reply, but The CHAIRMAN stated, that if Mr. Flund had any wit nesses to call, he ought to call them before Mr. Austin replied. FLUND then called ?Ir. Hopkins, civil engineer, who said that the estimate for the Churnet Valley line was barely sufficient for that line, and could not include the Uttoxeter ranch. He believed that it was intended as an estimate for themain line, and that the branch was omitted from the cal culations. The branch could not be made within the esti mate. He was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN, who endeavoured to show that he (Mr. Hopkins) was incompetent to make the calculations. The Committee, without calling on Mr. Austin to reply, ordered the room to be cleared. We were re-admitted in a few minutes, and The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee are of opinion that the 14th section of the 233 d Standing Order is complied with. Mr. FLUND then said, that after the decision of the Com mittee, it would be absurd for him to attempt to oppose the passing of the Bill, and to say that this important district should not have railway accommodation. Neither would he set up a case that there might be a better line made. In short, his case was now one of compensation. Mr. AUSTIN expressed his willingness to insert the same clause which he had previously offered, by which the case should be referred to arbitration. The CHAIRMAN-Why there are but two courses left—to refer it to arbitrators or to a jury. No clause was ne cessary. An agreement was then made between the parties, to the effect that the matter should be referred. Some other clauses were adjusted, and the Bills were passed. Their Lordships then finally rose. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND ROMSET AND REDBRIDGE BRANCH (SOUTH WESTERN). _ _ The Committee met this morning at the usual hour. Mr. HOPE continued his cross-examination of Mr. Cope, the gentleman employed to take the traffic of the line, with respect to the mode in which he obtained the returns which he handed in, and was examined at some length upon yester day. He detailed the various items and the sources from whence he derived them, and explained that he had in his estimate doubled the traffic, a course which he was perfectly justified in adopting with respect to this line, as the fact had been so frequently realised on established lines—on the Manchester and Birmingham, for instance. Those whom he employed for the purpose of collecting the traffic were persons used to the employment. They were paced at various stations in the course of the line, each station being under the superintendence of a clerk well versed in his vocation. The witness was also examined by Sir T. PIITLLIPS on the same points, and the Committee rose at three o'clock. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord Shaftesbury was the only member present at one o'clock, the hour appointed for the meeting of the Committee on their adjourning last evening. There were but five Bills on the list, and the decisions were as follows: NORFOLK (DEREHAM, WELLS, AND BLAKENEY EXTENSION). Standing orders complied with. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (HAMPTON COURT BRANCH). LONDON AND SOUTH. WESTERN (CHERTSEY AND EGHAM BRANCH). These two Bills, which stood over from a former day, in consequence of the absence of a witness, were again called on to-day, and, the proofs being completed, they were passed. EAST OF FIFE. This case stood over on account of the deficiency of some formal evidence. CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD. This Bill was passed. It is, perhaps, hardly necessary to observe, that in each of these five decisions the Committee was unanimous. His Lordship having resolved himself into a Select Committee on merits, proceeded with the case of the East Lincolnshire Railway, the only Bill on the list. It was unopposed, and after some formal evidence had been given it was passed. The Committee adjourned at half•past two. SHROPSHIRE MINERAL WAY. SPECIAL MEETING. A meeting of the shareholders of the Shropshire Mineral Railway was held on Saturday at the London Tavern, in order to receive a report of the committee appointed by the share holders at the general meeting of the Company, held on the 20th of February, 1846. • The chair was taken at one o'clock precisely by Alderman Copeland. The CHAIRMAN then called upon Mr. Wilkinson to read the report. The report charges matter of such a grave and serious nature against certain gentlemen, that we will abstain from mentioning names, and confine ourselves to stating a few of the facts as they are set forth in the report. A sum of .21,000/. was spent in the purchase of shares, drawn by cheques en the share holders' money, and that by parties members of the finance committee. It appeared that there were no less than eleven members of the committee of management who never paid upon a single share. The committee also discovered that in two instantes blank cheques were torn from the cheque book, and no memorandum was entered on the counterfoil. It was found out that one of _them, for 7,000/., was afterwards filled up, and that the name of Mr. Alder man Johnson, of Derby, was forged to it as the party in whose favour it was drawn. As far as the Committee were able to discover, it appeared that the purchase of shares commenced in the month of October. The shares were bought at 11 , premium, and in two days, the 15th and 16th of October, 1,0831. 15s. was spent, making, up to to the 28th of last month, with the purchases made by other members of the Committee of Management, a sum of 10,3901. for insll brokers. On the 30th of October a further sum of 7,8311. was invested in the purchase of shares through the medium of two Man- Another eliester broke There was also a sum of 65/. 15s. charged eoott that they had of uelxepenses incurred during the above operations. bankers to the deheques amounted to 897/. ; and although yet they had ofom of them, there was n the committee, and be not e n been returned prod n b o y ed th to e .eay were consequently incapacitated went on purpose to render any furthe r 4 ,;1 1 , 1" , :z. was also committed by could stated that an abstraction ?g, 4 t , hat after great The report also three of the directors, but for getting b a i i , ) not be precisely known.

RAIL WOOLWICH, JUNE 14.—HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL YACHT rater. —This vessel having been thoroughly renovated at the Messrs. Penn's establishment, at Deptford, left the river this day (Sunday) morning for the Downs, to have some experiments made to ensure correctness in her compass, the variations being very con siderable in many instances, and difficult to adjust in iron vessels. Captain Johnson has six different and very ingenious plans prepared to experiment with in the Fairy, as, In addition to the diffi culties attendant on an iron steam-vessel, the vibratory motion given by the screw propeller, renders the compasses unsteady, and liable to some degree of variation from that cause. It may be interesting to know the manner in which compasses of all vessels in the royal navy are adjusted by Captain Johnson previous to leaving the river for servi ce a t sea . O n th e vessels being ready, they are taken to moorings at Greenhithe, and an azimuth compass being set up on shore, another azimuth compass is set up on board the vessel to be adjusted, and the party on board and the party on shore exchange signals to denote the various points of thecompass on board as the vessel is swung round at her moorings. In some instances the difference on board of iron - vessels has been nearly one-eighth of the compass, the needle pointing north-west when it should have been due north. In these instances a table, cal culating the true bearings, Is given by Captain Johnson to Use mas ters in charge of the vessels. CRIMINAL LAW. The following is the second report "to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, in her High Court of Chan cery," of the Criminal Law Commissioners:— We, your , Majesty's C omm i ss i oners, appo i nte d b y your Majestys commission, bearing date the 22d day of February, in the Bth year of your Majesty's reign, in presenting our second report to your Majesty, humbly beg to observe that by the original com mission issued by his late Majesty, certain Commis sioners therein named were required " to digest into one statute all the statutes and enactments touching crimes, and the tri a l an d pun i s h ment t h ereo f ; and also to digest into one other statute all the provisions of the common or unwritten law touching the same, and to in• quire and report how far it may be expedient to combine both those statutes into one body of the criminal law, repealing all other statutory provisions ; or, hew far it may be expedient to pass into a law the first mentioned only of the said statutes, and generally to inquire end report how far it may be expedient to consolidate the other branches of the existing statute law, or any of them." The former commission having expired upon the demise of the Crown, your Majesty was graciously pleased to issue a new commission in the same terms as that issued by his late Majesty. Under these two commissions the Commissioners, having considered the matters referred to them, gave their opinion in favour of the utility of framing a digest of the criminal law, and stated various arguments in support of their views on the subject. They also pre sented a complete digest of the criminal law. In frams ing this digest the Commissioners, in several instances, judged it expedient not to present the existing provisions of the law, but certain modifications thereof, of which they deemed the advantage to be manifest. And they, moreover, suggested various other modifications of the existing law, which they thought were proper to be made, but which they did not think fit to introduce into then:digest, on account of the limited nature of their authority. _ _ Your present Commissioners have proceeded to exe cute the enlarged powers of the present commission, by which they are directed not simply to digest the law in its present state, but, also, in consolidating its provisions, to put into a form suitable for being passed by the Le gislature such modifications of the actual law as they judge expedient to submit for the adoption of Par liament. They entirely agree with the Commissioners acting under the preceding commissions in their opinion re garding the importance of framing a digest of the crimi nal law. The propriety of rendering that law more ac cessible to the community, they think, cannot admit of doubt. An ascertained text will also afford more easy means of future alteration, whereby the inconveniences of the law may be rectified, and it may be adapted to meet new circumstances and exigencies, with out impairing the uniformity of the system. As to which point it is observable, that a great num ber of the definitions and punishments of offences has been enacted in statutes, passed at different periods, without due regard to the general principles of the law, or the consistency of particular provisions. It is con ceived, also, that judicial magistrates will be greatly assisted by having an authentic and systematic text of the law to which they can refer, though in the applica tion of it to particular cases, considerable scope must always remain for the exercise of judgment and explana tory exposition (as is now the case), by those entrusted with its administration. With respect to the mode in which future additions to and alterations of the law may be made, your Commissioners concur in opinion with the preceding Commissioners, that it would be desirable that such alterations and additions should be notified to the public by means of the Gazette, or some other official document, and that at the end of some fixed period, e. g., three years, they should, by the authority of Parliament, be embodied in the digest. On this sub ject, however, and that, generally, of the utility of a digest of the criminal law, your Commissioners beg to refer more particularly to the reports of the preceding Commissioners. Your Commissioners concur in general with the mo difications of the existing law adopted or suggested by the preceding Commissioners ; they think, also, that some further modifications are essential, in order to render the criminal law of the country suitable to the present state of society, and conformable to enlightened principles of jurisprudence. A simple digest of the actual law. without any modification, would, they appre hend, exhibit many imperfections, which, it cannot be doubted, it must be thought highly expedient to remove. Without adverting to all the defects in various branches of the existing law, or anticipating at length what will be more particularly considered in the course of this re port, it must surely be deemed expedient to modify several of the present provisions of the law concerning accessories after the fact—the justifications and extenua tions of homicide—the protection of officers of law whilst engaged in the execution of warrants or other legal pro cess,—maritime coercion,—the punishment of accidental injuries without reference to the intention of the proba ble consequences of actions,—that relic of barbarism, the law of mayhem,—besides several other existing pro visions, of which modifications are submitted to the pre sent report. On some matters, though we do not feel entire confi dence in our recommendations, we conceive that advan tage may arise from submitting enactments founded on our opinions, the rejection of which, if unapproved of, will not be attended with any material delay or incon venience; and the task of reducing into a statutory form the will of the Legislature, when it is ascertained, as regards any alterations, cannot occupy considerable time. Of matters of this latter description, the new pro visions submitted by your Commissioners on the law re garding duels are offered with great hesitation, not so much on account of doubts entertained by the Commis sioners, as because it is a subject deeply affecting the in terests of society, and upon which public opinion is much divided. As the modifications of the existing law proposed by the former and your present Commissioners occasionally affect principles of the deepest importance and most ex tensive influence, their consideration has necessarily , occasioned much research and consultation, and has con sumed much longer time than if the labours of your Commissioners had been confined simply to forming a digest of statutes, the principles laid down in text writers of authority, and the decisions applicable to the subjects treated of in the present report. In their present report, your Commissioners humbly submit to your Majesty the draft of a Bill, framed in a shape to be passed by the Legislature, for the purpose of consolidating all the provisions of law as modified by your Commissioners regarding the general matters treated of in the preliminary chapter of the schedule to that Bill, and the definitions and punishments of the offence of homicide' and other offences against the person. To particular articles of the schedule notes are appended, indicating where the existing law has been modified, and the nature of the particular modification ; and the Bill and the schedule, without notes, are again given is the appendix. Where the subjects to which the articles relate have been discussed by the previous Commissioners, references have been given to the reports in which those discussions are contained ; and where it has been thought necessary, the sentiments of the present Commissioners, in reference to the pro posed modifications, have been expressed. Although your Commissioners have lost no time in submitting this portion of their labours to your Majesty, and have, in pursuance of the authority under which they act, framed the draft of the Bill now sub mitted to your Majesty, they submit that it will not be expedient to pass such Bill into a law before the whole digest is completed. For it is obvious that, in order to secure entire uniformity of principle and ar rangement, it is very expedient that the Commissioners should have examined the whole subject as well the part relating to procedure as that regarding the substantive law. Much of useful generalisation may thus also be effected, tending materially to render the digest more accessible and intelligible. It can scarcely fail to happen that any one chapter of the digest may be rendered more precise and unobjectionable in every respect after the Commissioners shall have diligently scrutinised and reduced into proper articles all the other chapters ; and until the view of the Commissioners, with reference to the mutual dependency of the several chapters and their general arrangement, shall be fully developed by the completion of the work, it is very probable that erroneous judgments may be formed of the practical operation and sufficiency of detached parts. DRAFT OF A BILL INTITULED "AN ACT FOR CONSOLI DATING AND AMENDING SO MUCH OF THE CRIMINAL LAW AS RELATES TO INCAPACITY TO COMMIT CRIMES, DURESS, THE ESSENTIALS OF A CRIMINAL INJURY, CRIMINAL AGENCY AND PARTICIPATION, AND HOMI CIDE AND OTHER OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON." Be it enacted, &c. 1. That the schedule to this Act annexed shall be deemed and taken to be parcel of this Act, and that the four chapters of the same, and the ten sections of the said chapters, and the 146 articles of the said sections, and the headings thereof, and the numbers thereof, respectively, shall be deemed to be taken and enacted by this present Act, as if each and every of the said chapters, sections, articles headings, and numbers had been expressly and in terms herein recited, with the usual words and in the usual f t o ty r s st every s ht h c e ) f ::i i ee n na ctment, or declaration, or pr ov i so , as t h e case may be ; an d th a t f rom t h e pass i ng of this Act one guilty of any offence described in, or d e fi ne d schedule,appointed shall inrespect e b s e p liable ef suchto such offe p n u e n e i . shment 2. whereb That after th e passing of this Act, the rule of law y a married woman ch arge d with the commission e her h us b and be present at the t o i f m a e n , y p e re ri s m um e eiad n to have acted under his coercion, unless it appear that she did not so act and all rules of law contrary , to the provi s i ons of chap. 1. of the said schedule shall be, and the same are hereby repeal e d an d an. nulled 3.

No such clause would be necessary if the whole digest were com pleted.

STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JUNE 12.—Most descriptions of foreign wools have been in rather better request this week, and a fair amount of business trans acted. We do not perceive any tendency in prices to a further decline. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 12.—Sales of English wool have been quiet this week, and prices are quoted as stationary. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 12.—The wool trade still rules dull, and although quotations remain the same, sales are made with difficulty, and on hardly so good terms. YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 11.—There has been a very large show at this day's market, but the attendance of buyers was only moderate, neither purchasers nor holders appearing very anxious to do business, and throughout the day the sales continued to be dull, which was no doubt owing to the great quantities exhibited, and lower prices in several cases were submitted to. The following are the nearest quotations :—Ewe to lid., hog and ewe l l d., 12d., to /21d. per lb. HULL WOOL MARKET.—There was a fair supply of wool, and generally of good quality. The attendance of buyers was large, and nearly all was sold up at 275. to 28s. 6d. per tod. From the reports which we have received of the progress of shearing, a much larger supply is anticipated next week. lIECRMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, JUN.' 11.— The attendance of buyers at the market, both Monday and to-day, has not been so good. There is not much alteration in prices the last few weeks. Goud samples continue scarce. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, JUNE 1 1 .—The business done in wool sales is very limited. The spin ners buy only for present consumption. There is, how ever, no fall in price. In yarns there is a lair trade, so far as demand goes, but prices are such as to give no en couragement to spinners to do more business. There has been no alteration in the piece market for the last two weeks. MANCHESTER THURSDAY EVENING.—A fear that the Ministry might be defeated on the Irish Coercion Bill, before the final settlement of the corn question, had an unfavourable effect on the market to-day, which was, on the whole, decidedly dull. Prices, however, remain un altered both for goods and yarn. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE. The condition of the cotton etocking-makers is not in ,he least improved, the supply in almost every instance exceeding the demand. A sort of fever is again com mencing to emigrate to the United States, where the hosiery trade, it is asserted, is very brisk at German Town, Philadelphia, and New York, not only for stock ing -makers, but f or f rame - ma ki ng, f rame - smiths being in great request in th e f ormer pl ace . This is entirely attributed to the heavy duty of 33 per cent., which is vigorously levied on hosiery, the duty being demanded d t h e e c i a n r s e t d a n v t a l t u h e e o g f o t e h d .. s i a m r e 1 p 0 a r t nded a er, as , in in Holland that not andup o the n Great Britain, but upon such value as the American authori ties choose to put upon them, which is frequently so much above their real value, that we have heard of one house trading to New York that has been charged to the amount of 10,000/. in duties over the sale price. We have heard of a great many frames being made, and more recruited, to be sent out to the States. The trade would be immense were it not for the 33 per cent. duty, which is taken upon the New York or Philadelphia in value, and not upon the Nottingham, Leicester, or Derby price, making with 3,000 miles' carriage and freightage, an additional 160 per cent. Thus a frame worth in England 201., is valued by the American customs at 351., upon which is charged a duty of about 12/., making 471. The carriage to Liverpool, boxes, freight, land, and cartage would amount to 5/. more, making the cost of the frame at German Town about fifty guineas ; but if the same frame is taken out by a stockinger emigrant the cost would only be about 231., and thus he would gain near 301. by the venture. The cotton-glove trade still keeps in a pretty good state, and for extra fine gloves, made in imitation of Flemish flax articles, the demand is exceeding the supply. It is not generally known, but repeated experiments have proved that cotton will outwear any other fibrous article. A wheelband, or other band made of cotton, will wear double the time of silk, wool, flax, hemp, or silk grass ; but fine flax has a gloss and a brilliancy that cotton can never arrive at. The silk trade, we regret to state, keeps retrograding. Fancy hosiery, except a few mitts, seems upon the point of extinction in this district, contrasting highly with the state of Leicester, which has an extensive run of worsted warp Jacquard shawls. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch is not much amended. We must again repeat, that we are perfectly astonished that the India-rubber web is not applied to the waistband, the knees, and ankles of these articles,. though they have been a ppli e d by th e F re n c h with great advantage for more than five years. The manufacture of this web is very extensive, employing more than three hundred braid machines, the greater part of which are in Lambeth. It has been carried on princi pally by four firms—namely, Messrs. Nickels, Lambeth; the Caoutchouc Company, London ; Messrs. Bedells, Leicester ; and Messrs. Ross and Bell, late of London, i.e toa acted: but now of M oun t E ast - street, Nottingham. After a sort of wa r b etween the London hosiers and the Caout choue C ompany, i n which Sir P i rd s 4 o l l t e h c:iesntsrors.

The fourth party have con tinu thy hoisted the stand ar d o f d e fi ance, and having obtained a patent in October, 1843, seemed determined to carry on the manufacture. An injunction was served upon them ; but on the Bth ult, this was removed by the Vice-Chan cellor. The • • conjoined patentees are now proceeding at common law ; a writ and declaration has been issued from the Common Pleas, to which the Nottingham factory owners mean to plead, and a jury must now decide the question. It appears that the method was a communi cation from Prussia. The manufacture of ribbed gloves is succeeding to the utmost wishes of the ingenious workman who has intro duced them. This promises to be an extensive and valuable trade ; as the article is sound, elegant, and good, and, we understand, is extremely difficult to make. The fancy bobbin-net trade has not improved ; and is, however, so brisk in France, that we have had several of the machine-owners in Nottingham for the purpose of extending their arrangements. Prices have not lowered since our last. The warp lace trade is still worse, and the journey- men have been reduced with some houses another 2d. per rack yard, or frm Is. in March last to Bd, in June. A good hand, working a 96 inch frame, making 24 yards, is said to receive 16s. ; but after paying all charges for frame-rent, &c.. he has ss. 3d. to take home to his family, and that for eighty hours hard labour.— Net tingharit Journal.

SIR PETER LAURIE AND STREET ADVERTISING VANS.-- REFUSAL OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO RECEIVE THE DEPUTATION. On Saturday, at the weekly meeting of the Maryle bone Vestry, the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair, Mr. FLOOD, the vestry clerk, stated that pursuant to the resolution of the Vestry, on the motion of Sir Peter Laurie, relative to perambulating advertising vans, he:had written a letter to the Secretary of State, which, together with the reply, he would now read to the Vestry : " Court House, St. Marylebone, 10th June, 1846. " Sir,--I am directed by the Vestry of this parish to inform you, that a deputation of members of the vestry has been appointed to wait upon you as her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, to repre sent to you the many evils arising from the present dangerous practice of perambulating advertising vans through the crowded streets of the metropolis. The deputation consists of the Earl branvers, Sir Peter Laurie, and six other gentlemen ; and I am further di. rected to request the favour of an appointment for an in terview at the Home-office. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " C. FLOOD, Vestry Clerk. To the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., Secretary of State, 84c." To this communication he (Mr. Flood) had received ,he following reply : " Whitehall, June 11, 1846. " Sir,—l am directed by Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th in stant, and in reply to inform you that Sir James Graham regrets that pressure of public business at present places it out of his power to fix a time for an interview with a deputation of members of the Maryle bone Vestry, but Sir James Graham will be happy to attend to any written communication which the vestry may desire to make to him. "I havo the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant " H H. D. O'BRIEN, Private Secretary. " C. Flood, Esq., Vestry Clerk, St. Marylebone." Sir P. LAURIE said he considered this reply exhibited great courtesy on the part of the Secretary of State, and a desire to do something in the matter. There could be no doubt that at the present moment Sir James Graham had but little or no time to spare, and it would, there fore, perhaps be better that the committee should meet forthwith, and draw up a statement of the evils arising from the van nuisance to the public in writing. He would therefore move that a statement be drawn up for presentation to the Home Secretary. Mr. G. DANTELL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. ST. DIARY'S HOSPITAL. On the application of Earl Manvers, the use of the Court-house was unanimously granted for the holding of a public meeting in order to aid the fund now raising for the completion of the St. Mary's (Marylebone and Paddington) Hospital, the foundation-stone of which, it will be remembered, was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the 28th of June last. The vestry then separated. THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S FETE.—The second of the series of fetes given by this society took place on Sa o furday at Chiswick, and certainly on no former occasion, with perhaps one exception, was ever so numerous an assem blage got together in the gardens. From two o'clock till four, or half past four, there were three continuous moving lines of carriages from Hammersmith to the entrance of the grounds. The whole of Turnham -green was covered with one dense mass of vehicles; and within the walls of the gardens, in the course of the day, not less than 74,000 people were congregated. Large as i s the space within the walls, and spacious as are the walks, there was little room to spare; and around the bands of the musicians, as each band respec tively played, there was a perfect crowd. The flowers and fruits were, as on former shows, of the highest class ; indeed, nothing could surpass the splendid specimens of hor ticultural and floricultural science, Edgington,under of thetb e eno rmous tents erected by Mr. Benjamin Borough. A tent after the oriental style, erected by the the Turkish Pacha, manufacturer, lust mentioned, and decorated with crescent and ag, was placed f or his Ibrahim Highness who was present in the ear l y part of the day, and un d er i t the hero of Nezib reposed, smoking his cigar, and enjoying the scene. It would be almost impossible fashionhe metropolis impossible to enume ra t e b y and 0 ft a name all the peopl e o f rank ssem b l e w d , e t b e u p t r e i - t may be said that th e whole elite sent; so many elegant females were hardly ever collected together before on' any ot occasion, nor was the f e t e ev er more f brilliant. Th e demandices and refreshm en t s was un precedently great,- and, not withstanding the ample supply of Mr. Gunter, the commissariat was at last exhausted. The arrangement of the music was very good ; the Coldstream, Horse Guards, and Artillery bands were in atteudance. MESMERIC SURGERY. A surgical operation, performed by Dr. Loysel, at Cher bourg, on the 27th of May last, upon a mesmerized patient, has produced in that place an extraordinary sensation. The particulars, as they appeared in the Journal de Cher bourg, signed and attested by the Sons-Prefect, the maritime authorities, the principal medical men, and many distin guished inhabitants of the place, who were present at the operation, are as follows _ _ " At 40 minutes past 4 P.M. of the day above named, Dr. Loysel, assisted by Dr. Gibon and three other medical men, performed, with remarkable talent and complete success, the operation hereafter described, upon a patient named Francois Bayssett, aged 18, who was previously placed in a state of mesmerism and absolute insensibility. " Since four o'clock the patient, being placed in an arm chair, had been brought into the necessary state by M. De lente, by whom he had been several times mesmerised. After about two minutes, the eyes of the patient closed by gentle degrees; the upper eyelids, agitated by a gentle trembling, rested firmly against the ball of the eye, which appeared con vulsed under the eyebrow; the muscles of the neck gently relaxed, the head inclined backward, and rested upon the back of the chair. The patient had his arms crossed upon his chest, and his countenance bespoke the mast absolute quietude. At this juncture the mesmerizer experimented upon the sensibility of the patient by puncturing the flesh repeat edly, but of which he appeared quite unconscious ‘ In the meantime, 1)r. Loysel had prepared his instru ments, and the medical assistants were ready to aid the operator. At 4h. 40m. the first incision was made, extend ing from the hinder part of the left lower jaw to beneath the s 3 mphisis of the chin. The operator then dissected with great caution, and speedily eradicated a mass, consisting of seven glands united, of which the largest was of the form and size of an egg. "The first dissection, notwithstanding the skill with which it was executed, did not last less than ten minutes, and during that time the patient continued in a state of utter in sensibility to pain, his features manifesting no motion, but continuing perfectly calm to such a degree as to denote the total absence of the smallest suffering. Nevertheless, several of the spectators, unable any longer to endure the sight which this dreadful operation presented, quitted the apartment. "The pulse ,of which the state was ascertained previous to the operation, remained the same during and afterwards (84), and the heavings of the chest continued in a regular manner, and in perNct harmony with the beating of the heart. "After an interval of a few minutes rest, the Doctor ef fected a fresh incision on the right side, extracting in the like manner two other glands, the patient remaining the same as during the first operation, maintaining a state of calm immo bility altogether inexpressible. " The two operations lasted altogether, including the in terval of repose, 29 minutes. After which one of the spec. tators, who appeared particularly interested by this pheno menon, questioned the patient in the following manner " ' How do you find yourself?'—' Quite well, Sir.' " ' Do you suffer now; I saw you suffered but a little while ago Not at all, Sir.' s '" At 31 minutes after five the dressing of the wounds com menced, which continued till three minutes before six, when it was accomplished; then everything calculated to make a disagreeable impression upon the patient was removed from the apartment; and, having washed and adjusted his dress himself, he was awakened by his mesmerizer in less than a minute. " Restored to the ordinary state of life, with all the appa rent calmness of a comfortable existence, the patient declared to the numerous witnesses of the operation, who interrogated him upon the subject, with a lively emotion, that he had no knowledge or recollection whatever of what had just passed, that he was free from pain, and that, without the bandages which enveloped his head, he should have had no idea that the operation had been performed; and after having affec tionately thanked the operator, the mesmeriser, and the medical gentleman, he retired and proceeded on foot, and without any support, to his residence at Egneurdreville, about half a league from Cherbourg." LLOYD'S SHIPPING. The following communication has been received at Lloyds— " Admiralty, June 12, 184 G. " Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you herewith, for the informa tion of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyds, a Copy of a Letter from the Officer commanding the surveying vessel Philomel, relative to the Master and crew of the Adler, of Hamburg. " I am, sir, your most obedient servant, " W. DOBSON, Esq., Lloyds." " Her Majesty's Surveying Vessel Philomel, " Devonport, June 9, 1846. " Sir,—Her Majesty's Surveying Vessel Philomel, under my command, in latitude 6 deg. 33 min. south, and longitude 30 deg. 50 min. west, fell in with a boat containing seven persons, one of whom informed me that he was Master of the schooner Adler, of Hamburgh, and that the rest were his srew ; that his vessel foundered in latitude 4 deg. 30 min. south. They were received on board the Philomel, and on the following day (9th May) the crew accused the Master o' having caused the loss of the vessel, on which he committed suicide by jumping overboard. Every exertion was used to save his life, but without success. The crew I have landed at Falmonth. " I have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed), "B. J. SULLIVAN, Commander. "Admiral Sir John West, K.

The names of the deceased are James Clark, aged seventeen, a highly respectable young man, articled to a civil engineer, Charlotte Collinson, aged twenty-seven, the wife of a cab-d r i ver , an d Elizabeth Bunce, aged twenty eight, the wife of a fishmonger. The jury, without having the room cleared, returned a verdict of Accidental Death in each case. The present exhibition of the Royal Academy has also its railway features. There is a capital likeness of the railway king, George Hudson, a half-length • another half-length of Robert Stephenson, and a whole len g th of joseph Locke, with the riband of the Legion of Honour. All are faithful and striking portraits,--Rail way licrolcf. WHAT THE PRINCE MUST NOT SEE. W hat can this be ? Much has been said and written and printed on what the Prince Consort ought to see on his intended visit to Liverpool, and projects are a float, and rumours circulated, and h o p es en t er t a ined of his going to one place and ano th er p l ace w i t hi n f or ty miles of Liverpool, as if he had nothing to do here, and must needs go " killing time" in various side-excursions just to prevent ennui. M an y w ill b e t h e di sappo i n tments if any such fancies are really indulged in ; for the hours and minutes during which his Royal Highness will be able to be absent from the palace are so mappe d out that the only difficulty will be how to get through the programme within the assigned limits : so much has he to do ; so much has he to see. But one thing be really must be prevented from seeing, or it will blind him in the very act ; we mean t h e smo k e , t h e dense, massive, black, heavy, dirty, suffocating, defiling, sweat ing, begriming clouds of unconsume d car b on gus hing oa. ininterminable volumes from the summits of the funnels of the countless smok e b oats on t h e r i ver M ers ey nuisance intolerable all around the heads and shoulders of the residents here ; disgraceful to us in the eyes, y ea s and the mouths, too, of visitors from every part of th e world ; injurious t o t h e pu bli c h ea l t h ; d cs trnctive to all pleasure in the vicinity of the pierheads a nd parades, damaging to anything like decent, not to say, elegant dress ; and which, in the crowds of smoke-boats which will blacken the whole atmosphere of the Mersey on the 30th and 31st July, will pig havoc with the gay attire, splendid uniforms, and waving plumes of the Prince and his distinguished friends. There was a time when there were some steam boats on the river ; smoke, from them, was hardly ever,. perceptible ; and it is as we ll k nown as th e situation of the Town-hall itself, that no smoke need to be porr tible, if the ready, simple, and undeniably efficacious plan of Mr. Joseph Williams be only at once adopt ed, which can immedi a t e ly be done, entirely at Mr. s own cost, till found t o answer completely. There must be no cavilling about this now. The fact is reduced to a mere display of very discreditable obstinacy on the part of any proprietor of a smoke boat or a smoke fac tory, who, by the black ensign he issues from aloft, declares that he will glory in smoke ; that he will ex pend more money than he is required to do for fuel ; that he will defile the air and annoy his neighbours, and that he will do all this, as a w i seacre i n P ar li ament - stre et said he would, " till he was compelled by law to stop the nuisance and to save his fuel." We say there must be no cavilling about this, and we refer, without the slightest fear of being contradicted on this point, to the unquestionable evid e nce t o b e examined on the subject at the following places, whe re proofs are so glaring that he who runs may read : furnace s ma y th ere b e seen in full glow . : with steam super a b un d an t, b u t no smo k e —Joseph Flt t cher and Co., tobacco manufacturers, 3, Sir Thomas buildings ; W.
