IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, April 6. Lord REDESDALE presided, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT. The Bishop of LONDON presented three petitions against the renewal of any grant to Maynooth. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. Lord MONTEAGLE presented several petitions against the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several petitions from Scotland praying for the inspection of re ligious houses; also for the repeal of the Idaynoth Act. LOSS OF THE BIRKENHEAD. In answer to Lord MONTEA.GLE, The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said the Ad miralty, immediately upon seeing the telegraphic mes• sage in the newspapers, sent down to the Admiral at Devonport, and to the superintendent of packets, to know whether there was any truth in the report, and also to know why, if such an accident had happened, the Admiral at Devonport had not sent notice to the Admi ralty, at least as soon as word was sent to the news papers? The Admiralty had as yet, however, received no report whatever on the subject. On the motion of the Earl DESART, the Bishop of Quebec Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Lord COLCHESTER, the Patent Law Amendment Bill was reported. On the motion of the Earl of DERBY the Mutiny Bill and the Marine Mutiny Bill passed through Com mittee. On the motion of the LORD PRESIDENT the In demnity Bill was read a third time and passed. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. The Earl of DERBY moved that the House adjourn until the 19th inst. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII said that he wished to make a remark which ho had re frained from making l as t night. The Noble Earl opposite (Derby) had stated that communications had been addressed by the Governor-General of India to the commander of the Burmese expedition re lative to the conduct of the war. Those communica tions had been published in the Indian newspapers a month ago, and at least a fortnight before military ope rations were commenced. The intentions of the Go vernor-General, his instructions to the general of the army, the point against which the attack was to be directed, and the determination to withdraw the troops before the rainy season, would be known to the Bur mese Government. This constant and inevitable vice in the administration of affairs in India must be abso lutely eradicated. It was essential to the credit of the Government, the safety of the army, that secresy should be preserved.—(Hear, hear.) He know the difficulties which the Governor-General would have to contend with in the preservation of that necessary secresy, and Noble Lords would scarcely be able to form an idea of the manner in which the secrets of the Indian Government were betrayed. When he him self arrived at Madras on his way to Calcutta, he read in a B3mbay paper several paragraphs relating to the war in China, which he thought he recognised as proceeding from his own pen. Upon closer examination they turned out to be certain instructions which he himself had written while at the Board of Control, and not only was their sub stance given, but even the words, and so evidently were they copies that a literal error which had crept into the written instructions had also crept into the newspaper. The same had been the can with regard to a report forwarded to the Indian Government by a dis tinguished officer in Scinde, and at the time of the Affghanistan war, when he (Lord Ellenborough) was necessarily at a distance from the scene of opera tions, and not so well acquainted with the state of mili tary affairs in that country as he afterwards became, he had thought it expedient to give a discretionary power to the general commanding as to the occupation or abandoning of Jells'abed. Every particular of that order was known in the camp before the general could have the opportunity of acting upon it. Upon that he had determined for the future that no military movement should leave hi; own breast ; and, accordingly, except his own pri vate secretary and his aides-de-camp, no man kaew anything about them beforehand. It was by that secresy that the military operations were afterwards conducted to a successful end without loss of life. In his opinion secresy was more necessary than any other point for the successful conduct of affairs in India, and he hoped that some instructions would be sent out to the Governor-General, that any means which he took to obtain this end would be sanctioned by the Government at home. The Earl of DERBY quito agreed that this subject was one of deep importance, and he entirely concurred with every word that had fallen from the Noble Earl their Lordships thea adjourned until the 19h instant, HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 6. The SPEAXER took the Chair at a few minutes to Four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed: —Derby Gas—Lancaster Waterworks, Cemetery, and Gas—Medina River Navigation. The Corris, Machynlleth, and River Dovey Railway, with Branches Bill, and the Belfast Custom House, &c. Bill were read a second time. The following Bills were considered and agreed to:— Aberdeen Fire and Life Assurance Company. Forth and Clyde Navigation. Londonderry and Coleraine Railway. Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. PETITIONS. Sir J. Y. BULLED presented a petition from Ply mouth against the Maynooth grant. Lord HOTHAM presented a petition from a vicar in the East Riding of Yorkshire against the removal of the Crystal Palace. ir B. H. INGLIS presented a petition from the archdeaconry of London against any further endowment to the college of Maynooth. Colonel THOMPSON presented a petition from Hull against the Extradition of Foreign Seaman's Bill. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented a petition from a Young Man's Society against the taxes on knowledge; also a petition from Bristol against the attorneys' cer tificate duty. Lord RO3ERT GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Metropolitan Sanitary Association, praying for legislative measures to insure extramural interment. ADJOURNMENT OF TUE HOUSE. Mr. F. MACKENZIE moved that the House, at its ri sing, do adjourn until Monday, the 19th of April.— Agreed to. Mr ' G. BERKELEY said the Chancellor of the Ex cheques had a ment of the Ho notice on the paper to move the adjourn ; - -ese at half-past four, and as it was only a few la-flu tes after four, he wished to know whether the Hon. Member was in order to mow the adjournment. The SPEAKER informed him that it was for any Hon. 2a.competent ADMISs ,-, Member to move the adjournment. , - 1 0 , 4 OF STRANGERS Sir DE LACY OV COMMONS.

THOMPSON presented a petition from the coal-whippers of the port of London, praying fur some measure to redress their grievances.. Mr. GEACH presented a petition from Coventry against taxes on knowledge. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved for an account of the public income and expenditure of the United King dom, in the years ending the sth day of January, 185 u, 1331, and 1852; distinguishing the actual payments for the expenses incurred in the collection and management of the revenue; for the charges of the public debt (the terminable annuities being also valued by estimate); for the expenses of the Civil Government; the allowances to the royal family, and to his Majesty the King of the Belgians; the establishment of the Lord -Lieutenant of Ireland; tho expenses of the two Houses of Parliament, and the Civil Departments; the other pensions on the Conso lidated Fund, on the gross revenue, and the ,Civil List; also the payments for the administration of justice, diplo matic expenses, and on account of the sums voted for the Army, Navy, Ordnance, and miscellaneous services; also public works, bounties, Post-office, the quarantine and warehouse establishments; and all other payments not crazing under any of the foregoing heads; with an appendix.showing the several items compo si n g e ach head of the account (in continuation of Parliam e ntary Paper, No. .570, of session 185 I).—Agreed to. THE LOSS OF THE BIRKENHEAD, AND TUB KAFIR WAR. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Rome Department, first, whether ho could give any I _s . armation to the House respecting, the loss of the B 1 trkenhead . steamer, and as to the causes of that from thd seat oi x i w a - ' 035; and, se e'ad'y, ' whether the news just received tha: what the rat the Cape led to any Repo hunr , no system o f ° ) 1 :, 1 4 . 13 Lord (John Russell) called the ful in staying t urt i,;:l ain g the colony', could be success- Sir J .

They were seized TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1852. within the Belgian territory, the casd containing 500 copies of a contraband pamphlet called La Verde des Evenernens des Mois de Decernbre, and also 500 copies of the Bulletin Francais, a journal published in Belgium, but suppressed by the Government. The editor of the latter journal had been tried and acquitted, on a charge of writing seditious articles, and of course Mr. Jeff had a legal remedy at law against the Belgian Government, which would compel her Majesty's Go vernment to interfere and see justice done if that remedy were denied. The seizure took place under an old law which was made in the time of King William. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord JOHN RUSSELL called for some explanation of the abrupt manner in which the adjournment of the House had been moved to-night. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was moved and carded without his knowledge before he came down to the House. Lord J. RUSSELL wished to know if it was intended to adopt his suggestion of devoting Thursdays to orders of the day? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would consider that matter during the holidays. He had an objection to giving up the Thursday for the purpose, but he would see if some arrangement could not be come to with the view of expediting the dispatch of public business, which should be agreeable to all parties. Tower Hamlets would accede to the suggestion to refer the Bill to a Committee. The baliast•heavers of London were in the hands of 29 middlemen, 27 of whom were keepers of public-houses, and the consequence was that they never gave employment to any men unless they purchased victuals and spirits of a very inferior description of them at a first-rate price. A greater abuse than this could not exist, and he hoped some measure might be devised to remedy it. Mr. WAKLEY thought some plan might be devised by which an office would be established in which those who had labour to dispose of would be enabled to do so to the best advantage. The House need not be alarmed —he was not going to place the working classes under the surveillance of the Government—but to suggest the appointment of a central office where information might be derived as to where labour was required, and where it was to be had. A registry might be kept, giving the names, ages, the name of the last employer, and the kind of labour each person had to dispose of. Mr. MACGREGOR did not think that a Bill brought in like the present would meet the necessities of the case without previous inquiry. Sir H. WILLO UGHBY believed it was perfectly practicable to establish a registry of labour, somewhat in the manner suggested by the Hon. Member for Finsbury. He thought it could be done inexpensively; and if so, it would be a great boon to the working classes throughout the country. Sir W. CLAY suggested that after the Bill had been read a second time, it ought to be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. GLADSTONE was anxious to say a few words upon the subject. He was glad to see that all gentle men advocating free-trade principles were in favour of some measure like the present. There was doubtless great difficulty in any course they might adopt. When he brought forward his measure with regard to the coal whippers, he was aware that these difficulties existed, and there was a doubt whether, when this large class of labourers were in a state of the deepest degradation, Parliament would be able to apply any effectual remedy for the evil. Nevertheless, the House of Commons did not hesitate to pass the Act; and when it was passed its good working did not depend upon the provisions of the Act itself, but upon the men who were its object. He had always held that language to the men, and had told them that its success would be due, not to the framers of the Act, but to the men themselves. In consequence of the exemplary conduct of the men, and the judicious use they made of the powers conferred on them, the Aet had given general contentment, and no great dissatis faction had been expressed among the mercantile class connected with the coal trade. He had read with great regret in the public papers that differences had recently arisen, and that a strike had taken place in consequence of the coalwhippers having attempted to exact higher wages than the trade price would justify. The consequence would be that the whole system of restraint would give way if the men strained their powers so unwisely, and the House would be called upon to repeal the Act, and would be obliged is respond to the call. While he ventured to use those words in the way of warning to the men he was glad to say that no call had yet been made upon the House for the repeal of that Act, and if the men continued to ob serve the conduct they had almost invariably maintained they would still be protected by that House, and that they would continue in the enjoyment of that improved social condition which the Act, under the blessing of Providence, had realised for them. He admitted that great caution ought to be used in enlarging this category of exceptions, and it ought not to be done unless upon the broadest and clearest ground. If it was adopted, unless ati ng theu ponananthyeevgiriasvweshtieghriotuwnads, sasitehwjeoeutldtnenpdutidnocwrne-. i i t n t e e t h a e p fi p r e s i t n t e i n d s . t a n T c h e e , t q h n e e y s t i s ( h ) n o u h l d e f e h r a e v e t h a e Select o c u e g na h t m , whether they should a Selectouldh ecethmemßititlelefiarnsdt, then th e Bill. The case was ono t hat ou g ht not to be met with thenHous a e v delay. There was no merc y in holdin g out delusive Select a s Committee, hopes to the men, and then postponing their case until the next year. Time was of the greatest importance; and he believed they would gain time if the Hon. Gen tleman, in lieu of the motion ho had made, would make a motion for the appointment of a Select Committee. There might be a formidable opposition given to the second reading, and that would cause delay. He sug gested, therefore to the Hon. Gentleman to withdraw his motion, and move the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the mode in which ballast-heaving was conducted in the port of London. Mr. WILLIAMS observed that, on the Thames, the greater portion of the labour was protected. It could only be performed by freemen of the City, and it re quired a largo sum to take up the freedom. The labour, therefore, was almost a monopoly. He should vote for the Bill. Lord J. MANNERS could not agree with the Right Hon. Gentleman in the advice he had tendered. He mast observe that the principle was by no means a new one, but had been sanctioned by that House over and over again. He would suggest to the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, as the Government had given their sanction to the introduction of a Bill on the understand ing that it would bo referred to a Select Committee, he thought that would be the best course to adopt, and ho was satisfied the gentlemen named on the Committee would be willing to consult the true interests of all par ties concerned, and to review all the details of the mea sure in a searching and critical spirit, and in a calm and impartial light, so that the interests of the working classes and their employers would be equally taken into consideration. The House then went into Committee of the whole House, and Mr. THOMPSON proposed his resolution uu which to found the BILL Mr. HUME objected to the resolution, and suggested that the Hon. Gentleman should include the whole sub ject of the ballast question. Mr. LALBOUCIIERE and Mr. GLADSTONE were Of opi nion that the resolution might stand as it was. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his Right Hon. Friend had intended that the Bill should be referred to the Select Committee. He advised the Hon. Member to adhere to his original plan. Mr. BROTHERTON recommended a Select Com mittee to take evidence. Mr. THOMPSON said ho should move for such a Committee after the recess. The resolution was agreed to, and the House re sumed, NEW FOREST. Mr. WILLIAMS withdrew his motion for the print ing of Mr. Wason's petition as to the New Forest. POOR-LAW RATING. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the exemption of inhabitants from liability to be rated as such in respect of stock in trade or other property to the relief of the peon—Agreed to. LOAN SOLJETIES. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue and amend the Acts relating to loan societies.—Agreed to. COUNTY COURTS FURTHER EXTENSION BILL. Captain FITZROY moved the order of the day for going into Committee en this Bill. In Committee on the Bill, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested the pro priety of merely going into Committee pro forma. It mainly related to the extension of the jurisdiction of the cJunty courts to equity. The effect of the Bill, in fact, would bo to convert the 80 county court judges into secondary masters in Chancery; while at the same time a measure was in contemplation fur a comprehensive re form of the Court of Chancery, comprising the abolition of the office of master..—(Hear.) Surely, therefore, it would not be well to lot this Bill interfere with the gene ral measure of Chanory reform.—(Hear.) Sir A. COCKBURN said he should concur in this recommendation, provided his Learned Friend were in a position to state that the Chancery Reform Bill would be introduced at once, or immediately after the recess; otherwise he should advise his Hon. and Gallant Friend not to defer his Bill. Tha ATTORNEY-GENERAL chid it was impossible to tell under present circumstances when an opportunity would be afforded to introduce the measure, but certainly it was intended. Lord R. GROSVENOR asked if it would be ready after the recess. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that ho could not possibly answer that question. Mr WAKLEY observed that it was curious that this Bill, es well as the proposition of the other, originated in the Rouse of Lords. :01 imuvrtrl.J. S Captain FITZROY said ho feared the announcement of the general measure would be used to obstruct any other measure of legal reform. The present Bill went through both Houses last session in its present form— (No, no)—at least with the exception of a few clauses ho meant to strike out—(Hear, hear)—and it was reason able that it should go on until it was seen whether any Bill would bo brought in by the Government antagonis tic to it, and to bo preferred to it, which he did not at dispute might possibly be the case; for he should be most hing reform ofthe ' to see a searc mg i,hatribelieved that then they ) might be better than any RT observed that another"' County sys tem of local courts.— ear.

On the order of the day for the report of the Com mittee of Supply, the resolution for the vote of 400,0001. for the Kafir war being read, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked if there were any out standing liabilities? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered that the vote included all the expenses up to the end of the present financial year. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked if there were any esti mates of the entire expenditure? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this was a vote for the whole actual expenditure up to the present period. Estimates were, of coarse, hypothetical, and relating to the future. Tho resolution was agreed to. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. Mr. WALPOLE moved the consideration of the re port on this Bill. Mr. J. STUART said the Bill ought to be reprinted as amended. Mr. WALPOLE said the Noble Lord the Member for London had asked him to take charge of the Bill, and he hoped that it would be allowed to pass the present stage. Mr. J. STUART objected to this, as the Bill in its amended shape should be deliberately considered. After a brief conversation, Mr. WALPOLE expressed his readiness to defer the further consideration of the Bill until the 19th instant, in order that the amendments suggested by the late Attor ney-General (Sir A. Cockburn) might be printed. SUITORS IN CHANCERY RELIEF BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. On clause 1, Sir H. WILLOUGHBy complained that no proper provision was made for the payment of the Court of Ch anc ery officials. He moved an amen d m ent in the Ist clause, providing that a scale of salaries should b e in serted in the schedule to the A c t. Mr. MULLINGS, al though he agreed in the principle of the above suggestion, saw difficulties in the way of an enumeration of all th e salaries to be provided f or. An HON. MEMBER her e moved that t h e House be co unted, and, as only 29 M embers wero presen t, the H ous e stood adjourned until, as had been previously ar ranged, Monday, the 19th inst.

Sir DE LACY EVANS gave notice that early after Easter he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Vestry Act. Sir B. HALL gave notice that early after Easter his Hon. Friend Mr. Horsamn would call the attention of the House to the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Bennett to the living of Frome. Mr. CHRISTOPHER gave notice that early after Easter Col. Sibthorp would move for leave to bring in a Bill to enable candidates for counties to give their supporters refreshment to the extent of 25. 6d., if they thought proper.—(Oh, oh.) METROPOLITAN INTERMENT ACT. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE wished to ask the Se cretary of State, if he had received from the General Board of Health the annual report relating to the pro ceedings of that board, under the Act intituled, "An Act to make better provision for the Interment of the Dead in and near the Metropolis;" if so, when ho re ceived it, and when it is likely to be in the hands of Members. Mr. WALPOLE said the report had been received, and it was his intention to lay it on the table, though it was defective on one point. _ __ MILITIA BILL. Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask a question with regard to the Militia Bill. He did not find auy clause in it with reference to substitutes and the amount to be paid for exemption from service. Perhaps this was left in the same state as it was uncer former Acts? Mr. WALPOLE—Those matters are left exactly as they were in the former Act!. Sir DE LACY EVANS said the Bill wes not at all a consolidation of the law. Mr. WALPOLE contended that it was, as the last clause contained all such points of the existing Acts as were not expressly repealed. COURTS OF LAW. Mr. HEADLAM wished to ask whether there was any intention on the part of the Government to allow any public money to be expended in providing new Courts at Westminster. Lord JOHN MANNERS said temporary courts had been erected for the use of the Vice-Chancellors, which would be ready at the beginning of the nest term, but this would in no way dispose of the question as to whether the courts should remain or be removal from Westminster Hall. Upon that point the Government were not yet prepared to give any opinion. GOLD MINES. Colonel THOMPSON begged to postpone to the 19th instant his motion which stood for that evening in refer ence to the adoption of measures "to guard against the possible effects of the increasing production of the gold mines upon the holders of the national securities." IRISH ADVANCES. Sir L, O'BRIEN wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would feel justified, the Repay:bent of Advances Acts Amendment Bill having been read a second time, in releasing the moneys which have been retained in the hands of the treasurers of the Poor.law Unions, to await the fate of this Bill, after the example of what was done by the Prime Minister in the case of the Rate in Aid, when the Treasury advanced 100,0001. on the faith of that Bill, after its second reading. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could hold out no such hope as that which the Hon. Baronet asked for. Mr. CLEMENTS wanted to know when the Repay ment of Advances Bill was to be proceeded with? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it had already been arranged that the Bill should not be brought on until after Easter. LOSS OF THE BIRKENHEAD. Mr. ADDERLEY wished to be informed whether the Admiralty had received any intelligence of the loss of the Birkenhead, and if they knew the number of souls on board at the time she left England? Mr. STAFFORD said at ten o'clock this morning a telegraphic message was received at the Admiralty, an nouncing the los', and immediately afterwards a mes sage was sent off to Sir John Ommanney, at Plymouth, requesting him to forward such intelligence as he had upon the subject. No reply, however, was returned to that message up to two o'clock, and a letter was dis patched to the gallant officer ordering him to make a report immediately of such in formation as he had upon this distressing subject. There were boo souls on board at the time the Birkenhead left this country. Up to half-past four o'clock no additional news had been received at the Admiralty. POSTAGE LABEL STAMPS. Mr. MUNI Z presented a petition on this subject from Charles Maybury Archer, gentleman, setting forth that, in the month of December last, he became, through the medium of a fortuitous discovery, possessed of the means and information calculated to show the total in security of the present system of postage label stamps, and of their liability to be successfully conterfeited, and that petitioner was also in possession of means whereby the same might be as successfully prevented. That petitioner had had a correspondence with the au thorities cf the Post-office and Inland Revenue, and submitted that the great circulating medium for the correspondence of this country, and which bad lately become a legalized form of paper money, ought to be invulnerable, and not the easy subject of counterfeit or imitation. Petitioner further stated that the present newspaper stamp was also the subject of easy successful imitation, and that consequently both it and the postage stamp system might easily become the subject of spurious and surreptitious issue. That petitioner had suggestions to make for the improvement of the postage-stamp system generally, and prayed to be examined before the Committee thereupon, and also relative to a proposed plan he had for improvements in detaching and cutting postage-stamps and other articles and substances. THE RIVER PLATE. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know whether the Go vernment intended to take any steps to place the relations between this country and Brazil on a more satisfactory footing than they had been for some time past; he also wished to know whether the Government contemplated :is the re,,ult of the joint action and interference of Eng land and France, in reference to the River Plate, the free navigation of the river to the trade of Europe? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that not twenty-four hours was lost, after tho over throw of General Roses, in communicating with the French Government, in order that steps might be mutually taken to secure thosegreat . results to the commercial world which were greatly desire. On the 16th of April Cheva lier St. JohnEurop© Johnand Sir Charles ld ra Hoth a , w ho had been appointed by her Majesty, d would leav e urope in two shi p s of war, and would thelCourt o f B raz il, but a mission of friendl y commu nication at Rio.

BALLAST - HEAVERS oyedfo O r F le lf ve N t D o O br N in . 4 in Mr. G. T uom rsONm Bill to establish an office for the benefit of ballasta heavers in the port of Loudon. Mr. HENLEY said ho would not oppose the first stage of the Bill, but ho thought it was calculated to im pose restrictions upon the employment of the ballast heavers, and to create a monopoly in favour of a certain body of labourers. Mr. LABOUCHZRE said the Coalwhipperb' Act had been very surce.&al in its operation, and suggested that heforo this Bill went to a second reading it should un ti.er.v,o an inquiry by n Cc,namittee of the House. Mr. HUME said tho House was, perhaps, not aware that the b:.lia:ting of ships was a moncpoly granted to the Trinity house by henry the Bth, who c harged twice as mock as was necessary, and cleared a profit from it of be t ween 4,000/, and 5,000/. a - year. This sum he thought ought to be applied in dredging and otherwise improving the River Thames. He thought that if a Committee were appointed to inquire into the of ballasting, they might greatly relieve whole system su ogest a more convenient mode the shipping intercst, ballazt charges, and greatly improve of imposing the the condition of the ballast-heavers. Ho hoped the Lion. Member would agree to refer the Bill to a Committee. Mr. B. OaORNE hoped tho Lion. ;limber for the ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, April 3. The business of the circuit closed hero to-day about three o'clock. Mr. Baron Platt was the only judge who sat to-day. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Benjamin Wheeler, who was convicted yesterday be fore Mr. Greaves, Q.C., of a burglary in the house of Thomas Ryder, at Lydbrook, and on whose behalf an objection was taken to the admissibility of a confession of guilt made by him, which was reserved by Mr. Greaves for the consideration of Mr. Baron Platt, was brought up for judgment. HIS LORDSHIP said ho concurred with Mr. Greaves in considering the confession admissible, and by the direc tion of that Learned Gentleman sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 10 years. William Sandford and Thomas Mace, the sons of small farmers, were indicted for maliciously breaking the leg k,f o in this coy Wm. Pauntne, y in the m onth of January last, at Mr. Skinner prosecuted, and Mr. Powell defended the prisoners. The prosecutor deposed that he lived near the house of Sandford's father, and that the families had been at feud for many years. Sandford had been to Birming ham, and returned last January. On passing Sandford's garden one evening the prisoners came out to him, and challenged him t o fi ght, and upon his refusal Sandford kicked him and the round both broke his le g , an d that upon his falling to g prisoners kicked him about the head and body. A witness came up soon after, to whom he said, "Oh Lord, came up kicked my poor leg to pieces;" and he was thereupon removed to the Glouces ter Infirmary, where he remained until now brought into court on crutches. For the defence Sandford's brother and sister-in-law were called, and swore that they saw the whole affair; that the prosecutor first called out to Sandford—" What, you little Brummagem rascal, be you come back? I should like to punch your head;" and thereupon Sand ford said he should soon have an opportunity, and took off his coat and gave it to Mace, and then went into the road, where they fought, scuffled, and fell, and thus the prosecutor's leg was broken. They also swore that neither of the prisoners kicked the prosecutor, and the prosecutor's witness said, on cross-examination, that he saw them some time before he got up to them, and saw no kicks given, and that when he got up to them the prisoners were standing beside the prosecutor, and tell ing him to get up and fight like a man. The surgeon deposed that both bones of the leg were completely fractured, and that there were several bruises on the body; but that the fractures and the bruises might have been caused by the fall only. The jury Acquitted Mace, and found Sandford Guilty on the count charging a common aisault, saying they believed the leg was broken by the fall, and that Sand ford did not kick the prosecutor. His LORDSHIP thereupon sentenced Sandford to a month's imprisonment, without hard labour. The business of the circuit terminated with this case. ---- --- CENTRAL CRIMINAL C OURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) John Stowell Thomas Stowell, and George Hew son Garnett were indicted for conspiracy and perjury. In this case, which had not concluded when our report left, The RECORDER, summed up, and at six o'clock the jury retired to consider their verdict. They returned at twenty minutes to seven, when they gave a verdict of Guilty against Thomas Stowell and Garnett, and Ac quitted John Stowell.—Sentence deferred. NEW COURT.

Tho sentence was deferred, Father Gavazzi, the well-known separatist from the Itoraish Church, was on the bench during the whol e trial, and did not quit the court until the vortlict w ax Ottawa]. POLICE IN TELLIGEN C SOUTH ARK - . Yesterday Charles I'edyraft was placed at the bar for final examination, ehereee with stealing 2201., the pro party of William Ingram Rawlings, a builder, residiug at, Ne. 3, Williems'-terrece, Rotberhithe• When the case was called on, the magistrate was in formed that the complainant was arrested for debt, the morning on his leaving home to attend this court, and taken off to prison. His wife, however, who was the principal witness was in attendance, and her evidence wes remarkable, inasmuch as it showed that the whole cf the above sum of money was deposited by her in a trunk from which it was abstracted, and that she kept the possession of it a secret from her husband. Mr. A'Beckett being acquainted with the latter fact, on being informed of Mr. Rawling's arrest, observed that his wife was blameable in keeping him in ignorance of her having such a sum of money, and that it might now have been of use in obtaining his liberation from a prison, had it not been stolen. Mrs. Ann Rawlings was now summoned, and from her evidence it appeared the prisoner was married to her niece, and that they lived next door to each other on Williams'-terrace, Rotherhithe. In the month of De cember last the witness placed 100 sovereigns and 1201. in 10/. Bank of E 'gland notes in a bag inside one of her trunk:, and bad it removed to the house of the prisoner, in whose honesty and integrity she had every reliance. She, however, did not acquaint him cr even her husband that she was possessed of such a sum, and she was in the habit of calling frequently at the prisoner's house to ex amine the trunk and see that all was safe. On Saturday, the 20th ult., she was surprised on finding the prisoner's house shut up, and both him end his wife absent; and although she did not suspect them then, still she became uneasy on finding they did not return, and on the Monday following she effected an entrance into their house, and found the trunk locked as she left it, but upon opening it, to her dismay, she discovered that the whole of the 2201. were gone, the env?) , bag only being left. Upon this discovery she at once communicated her loss to her husband, who lost no time in giving such informa tion as subsequently led to the apprehension of the pri soner, wrio, with his wife, had suddenly left their house without communicating their intentions to any person, and carried off the whole of their wardrobe. They were traced to a coffee-shots in tinion_street, and from thence to the terminus of the South-Western Railway, from whence they were about to start by the train into the country. On the prisoner's apprehension he was searched, but only five sovereigns were found in his pockets, and ho asserted his innocence of the alleged offence, but gave no explanation of the cause of his sud den departure from his house, as already described. In the course of the present examination several witnesses were called, some of whom were brought up from Nor folk, and who proved that, about the middle of January, the prisoner, living at a village in that county, was heard to say that his aunt (Mrs. Rawlings) entrusted him with a trunk to take care of, and that, out of cude osity to ascertain the contents of it, be opened it with one of his own keys, and on examining it found a bag containing upwards of 2001. in sovereigns and Bank of England notes, and be added that he replaced the bag and its contents where he found it. A witness from Bromley, in Kent, also gave evidence of a similar description as to his having heard the pri soner mention that ho had opened the trunk and had seen the money belew ging to his aunt. Mrs. Rawlings was orw,s-examined by Mr. Salomons for the prisoner, a , d she admitted that she had a short time before the robbery borrowed 31. 103. of the priso ner, although she had the 2201. in tie trunk, and could get at it when she wanted. Her ;object, however, in borrowing the money was to induce a belief both in the prisoner's mind and that of her I a iband also that she was not possessed of such a sum of money as that she had deposited in the trunk. She bad no recollection of having declared to a Mr. D , ntai a few days prior to the robbery that she wc.s not possessed of 5/. in the world. It was stated that the complainant's husband was with her when she drew the money out of the bank, and that he had taken the numbers of the notes; he was, how" ever, led to suppose that his wife had ex p en d e d t he money in the purchase of an annuity for a near relation, until the se cret was disclosed that it was deposited by her in a trunk, from which it was stolen as above men tioned. Mr. ATECKETT committed the prisoner for trial, but raid he had no objection to accept of bail in two sureties of 1001. each. THE COEIN'fitY MARKETS. We had a very small market, and but little corn on sale. This is chiefly owing to a noted horse fai r h e ld at W oo db r id ge . The tr a d e ruled heavy, but sellers did not appear disposed to submit to lower prices. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

All articles are lower, b u t th e reduction is almost nominal—a total cessation of busin ess b e i ng the point to complain of—consumption meantime goe s on , and i s almost wholly on English wheat, 1 nos. that, although arr i va l s are quite insignificant, no impression . made on gran ar i e d stoc k s. We were well supplied with wheat from the farmers to-day, and which met dull sale at fully 15 below the rates current last week. Nothing doing in foreign wheat. Barley is ls lower for all sorts. Nothing doing 10 oats or any description of peas. Beans slow sale, and the turn lower—Egyptian forms the chief supply. Linseed supports its value, and no fine quality on the market ; cakes ace rather easier to buy. Rapeseed supports its value; rape cakes in de mand, and scarce. Bones rather lower than last week.
