(Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) STAMPS V. THE BIRMINGHAM AND WOLTEISHAMPTON RAILWAY. His HoNoun gave judgment to-day in this case which has been before the Court so frequently of late upon two motions, one on behalf of the defendants to dissolve the injunction granted against them, restraining them from proceeding with their works under the houses of the plaintiff, in Paradise -street, Birmingham ; and the other on behalf of the plaintiff, for a sequestration against the company for a breach of the injunction. His Honour, after going at some length into the case, the facts of which we have already given in detail, refused both motions with costs. Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the other Equity Courts. Ebtrb LATEST FROM PARIS. M. SENARD, Minister of the Interior, has issued circulars to all the Prefects, cautioning them against suffering anything in the shape of Propagandism to take place. All the foreign legions—the Poles per haps excepted—now in France are to be dissolved. Everything, in fact, is to be done to prove good faith and a sincere desire to remain at peace on the part of the French Government. THE CHARTIST TRIALS. CRIMINAL COURT.-(TILLS DAY.) OLD COURT. TRIAL OF LOONEY. Chief Justice Wilde took his seat on the bench at ten o'clock. Francis Looney, aged 34, described in the calendar as a cabinet maker, was then placed at the bar, charged with sedition, and attending an illegal assembly at night. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case against the prisoner. The language complained of was uttered at a meeting of Irishmen in the Chartist-hall, Blackfriars road. About 300 persons were present. The object of the speech was to bring the Government into contempt, and to even endanger the safety of the Constitution itself by establishing armed clubs to me nace it. More dangerous or more destructive doctrines which had their origin on the other side of the water could not be conceived. He would read his speech, and without comment, leave the matter entirely in their hands. The Learned Attorney-General did so. Its purport will be found below. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. William Cormsell, short-hand writer, was then examined by Mr. WELSBY—He attended a meeting on the evening of the sth of June at the Chartist Ball, Webber-street, B!acklriar's.road, and took notes of the proceedings. He got there about five minutes to eight. When he went first, about 200 were present, but the number increased as the proceedings went on to from 300 to 400, mainly of the lower orders. There were some women. The majority were Irishmen. The witness then read the different speeches from his notes, Looney was announced by the chairman as the secre tary of the Davis Club. He said he came down from other clubs to assist in forming one in that neighbour hood, as he understood they were disposed to organise for the purpose of obtaining freedom. He had great hostility to Lord John Russell, and was his most prac tical opponent in London. It was his practice to go into every neighbourhood and to endeavour to make Englishmen and Irishmen dissatisfied with the Govern ment. The resolution he had come to move was to the effect, as God made arms, that it was his duty to arm. lie was an advocate of moral force. Let them not misunderstand him; he was for moral force as far as it could be reasonably carried; but the Government had shoe n themselves invulnerable to persuasion. Be ad vised those who had the means to buy guns and pistols, and those who were poor to buy pikes,. which they could do at from ls. to 15.6 d. each. He advised them to adopt the advice of their master, Mitchel, who had been expa triated by the Government. He was a republican in heart and soul. If a policeman struck him he should strike no one else. The House of Lords was a pack of robbers. None of the harvest should be allowed to leave Ireland until all the people had been fed outright. He denounced the aristocracy, and advised them to dissem minate these principles among their wives, children, and neighbours. Equally violent speeches were delivered at the meeting. (Un the application of Mr. Wilkins, the trial of Ernest Jones was postponed until Monday, in consequence of the serious indisposition of his wife.) Cross-examined by Mr. KENEALY (who appeared for the prisoner)—The object of the meeting was to enrol members of a club, to be called the " Mitchel Confede rate Club," for the purpose of aiding in the repeal of the Union. Was seen taking notes, and had every facility afforded him for that purpose. The prisoner was present when the resolutions advising the people to arm was re commended. He would swear that he sat down after passing the resolution. His clerk and Mr. Toogood at tended. There was not the least disturbance. Mr. Kemmis produced the record of the conviction of John Mitchel. Mr. KENEALY objected to its reception, on the ground that there was no proof that the prisoner had identified himself with the doctrines of Mr. Mitchel. The Learned JUDGE considered the evidence ought to be received. The prisoner had referred at the meeting to the "beautiful doctrine" promulgated by John Mitchel. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then read the words, for the utterance of which John Mitchel was found guilty. This was the case for the prosecution. Gray, a police constable, was called at the request of KENEALY, and proved arresting the prisoner at the Chartist-hall, Dean-street, Soho. There was a disposition to rescue him, but the prisoner said " Policeman, they are no friends of mine ; the fi rs t mar ; that strikes you knock him down." Mr. KENEALY then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said he had been l ong acqua i nted with the family of the prisoner, and could state, from his own knowledge that he had ever well conducted himself. The CHIEF JUSTICE interrupted the Learned Counsel by saying it was quite irregular for coun se l to g i ve evidence in favour of their clients. No opportunity presented itself of cross-examining such a wit ness , an d the practice, if allowed in this case, would soon become a precedent. Mr. KENEALY submitted that Mr. Erskine had fre quently so acted, and he had never read that he had been reproved by the judges. He then went on to say, that he had been informed that his arguments with re spect to repeal would be to - d a y watched with the eye of a lynx. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—(With much warmfb)— How dare you, sir, make such an assertion. Some friend of yours may have made such an observation, but I would not condescend to do so. I ask you, sir, how you dare make such an observation ?—(Considerablcsurprise.) Mr. KENEALY appealed to his Lordship, if he had used any language but that which ho was perfectly justified ? The CHIEF JUSTICE said, perhaps, he had not. It arose out of what some one had whispered to him, and as be openly made such an assertion, he must expect to have it denounced. A juryman asked the Learned Judge if such observa tions were not altogether extraneous? The CHIEF JUSTICE said they were. Mr. KENEALY then went on to demand the grounds on which the Attorney-General had placed the charge of riot in the indictment. It was a monstrous and a groundless charge, and he trusted he would abandon it. He was at a loss to understand why those who professed Chartist principles were to be drugged, into a criminal court, and severely punished. He was no advocate of the doctri ne o f pass i ve o b e di ence, b ecause t h e C rown might be guilty of all manner of tyranny and yet be left unpunished because the Crown could do no wrong. He could not subscribe to any such doc trine. Let them recollect that the great revo lution of 1688 was not the less glorious or the LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, lB4B. less valuable because it was effected by force. They could not avoid finding that the prisoner uttered the words imputed to him ; but he called upon them if they believed that he uttered them in a patriotic sense, and therefore with an honest intention, to find the pri soner not guilty, notwithstanding the verdicts that had been given this session, and the 6' queer law " they had heard. Let the jury bear in mind that the interests of millions were at stake in these prosecutions. He quoted Locke in opposition to (the opinion of the Attorney- General, to show that resistance against wrong was the inherent right of a civilised people. The constitution under) which they lived was susceptible of the greatest amount of human liberty if extended to its proper limits; but if its ancient principles were to be departed from, as they now were, its liberty, and with it the trade of the country would perish. The Learned Gentleman cited a number of authorities in support of these senti ments, and concluded a long address, by im ploring the jury to acquit the prisoner. * He main tained that the prisoner had simply uttered in coarser language, for he was only a poor cabinet-maker, similar sentiments to those enunciated by such great lights as Locke, Parley, Chatham, Fox, namely, re sistence to tyranny,"and to arm in defence of their rights, for the law of England allowed a man to have possession of arms, and ho hoped the people would never give up their right. The Government had wantonly and with out sufficient reason interfered with all the public meet ings that had taken place in the metropolis for the last six months, and had sent the police to them to ferment disturbances, and had thereby interfered with the great constitutional right which the people pos sessed of meeting and discussing their grievances. He also read a speech of Chief Justice Wilde in the House of Commons, in which he eloquently defended this right. No great measure was ever carried without being advocated at great public meetings, which were not always peaceable. Public meetings were of no use unless the speakers could express themselves openly. But if the speakers at these had the fear of the Attorney-General before their eyes—that a Crown lawyer was ready to put his imprimatur upon whatever they might say of an unpalatable nature, there would be an end to freedom of speech, and public meetings would become a " farce," in the language of the Duke of Wellington. He advised the Attorney-General to draw a deep moral lesson from the events that had recently taken place in France, in consequence of the attempt that was made to suppress the liberty of the people. Look at the result. The man who had forti fied Paris, and brought 100,000 armed men into his capital was now an unpitied exile at Claremont. The Government had failed in its attempts to crush the press, and had therefore fallen upon these weak and helpless men. The ATTORNEY GENERAL briefly replied. Chief Justice WILDE then summed up, and explained the law to the jury. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of all the counts, except that charging him with riot. The verdict was not given until a quarter to five. There was another indictment against the prisoner, but the Attorney-General announced that he should not proceed with it. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) EXTENSIVE 1 ORGERIES.— William Henry Bradbury was placed in the dock, indicted with having committed four acts of forgery—the first on the 18th December, 1847, on Messrs. Dixon and others, for the sum of 3001. ; two more for 4341. 165., and 3741. 75., on Sir William Lubbock, Bart., and Company; and one for 3741. 7s. 4d. on other parties. John Clark, described as a grocer, was also indicted with being concerned in the same transactions. Both the prisoners were young men. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine for the prisoners. Mr. BODKIN said the forgery of the 434/. 16s. was committed by a cheque purporting to be drawn by the house of Benjamin Hawes and Sons on the banking house of Lubbock and Co., and the paper of the cheque had been manufactured and engraved for the express purpose of deceiving the bank. The cheque was pre sented at the bank and cashed, and the success attending this transaction had induced the parties to make a second attempt on the same bank on the same day for 3711. 7s. 4d., which also succeeded. The bank was afterwards induced to make inquiries, and intelligence having reached London that two Englishmen had been arrested in Brussels, the solicitor for the prosecution and John Forrester, the well-known police-officer, were sent over, and the prisoners were discovered to be the parties of whom they had been in search, and some of the notes which had been removed from Lubbock's bank were found upon them. Thomas Briggs, cashier in Lubbock's bank, proved the payment of the forged cheques, and the number and date of the notes given. Part of the sum was paid in gold. The cheques purported to bear Messrs. Hawes' private number. Mr. William Hawes said the cheques were neither drawn by himself nor his brother, nor had they been drawn under their directions. Joseph Thornet, a servant out of place, said he put an advertisement in the Times, and in-consequence of it a person called upon him in York. street, Westminster road, and, after some conversation, told witness to call upon him in the evening of the next day at the East India Chambers. He accordingly called upon him, and afterwards went with him to the Commercial Rooms in Mincing-lane, where witness received a cheque upon Messrs. Lubbock, and was instructed to take it to the bank and get it cashed. On his way he was accosted by the prisoner Clark, who asked him where he was going. Witness told him to Lubbock's hank, and Clark said he would show him the way. When witness came out with the money Clark meet him again, and asked him if he had (!one his business all right. Witness said yes, and Clark said so have I. He then left witness, and went in the direction of Mincing-lane. Witness delivered the money to the person who sent him. After wards he met witness by appointment at other places, and told him that his brother, with whom he in tended to engage him, had not yet come to town, and that he was to call upon him o❑ the following Monday. Witness, however, never saw him again, and at length went to the banking-house, and gave an account of the whole circumstance. Mr. Hillingburg, from Brussels, proved having taken the prisoners into custody, in consequence of their not having regular passports. John Newborn, a young man, said he had been out of a situation, and put an advertisement in the news paper. He received an answer to it; and, in conse quence of that he went to the East India Chambers, where he met the prisoner Bradbury, who engaged him as a servant to a gentleman. He met him again by ap pointment again on the 22d of April, and Bradbury asked him to go and get a cheque cashed at Messrs. Lubbock and Co.'s for 3711. 7s. 4d. If the cashier asked who it was for, he was to say, for hunt and Company, and if further inquiries were made, to say, Mr. Thompson. Witness brought back the money to Bradbury, at the Custom House, where he had been waiting, and appointed to meet him at four o'clock at Hatchard's hotel, Piccadilly. The prisoner came there at the appointed time in a cab, and told witness that the gentleman who had engaged him would not be in town till Wednesday. He gave him 10s. and then left. He (witness) took the number of the cab, and, afterwards seeing an advertisement in the papers, he called upon Messrs. Bushe and Mullins, and told them the whole particulars. The cashier of the bank proved the notes, and Mr. llawes the forgery. Robert Neech, cabman, said he recollected being called off the stand in Leadenhall-street by two persons on the day in question. He believed the prisoners to be the persons, but could not positively swear to their identity. One got out near the Golden-cross, Charing-cross, and he drove the other to Hatchard's Hotel, and there he saw him meet with the last witness. Mr. Hillingburg recalled—Proved that the two pri soners were taken into custody at Brussels, not having firm of Bushe and Mullin s , p rove d having been prese nt at the examination of the p risone rs proper at Brussels, and als o the numbers of the notes fo und Mullins, upon them, which corres p ond with those received from passportsns: e the Mr. the bank. custody.

DRILLING OF THE COAST GUARD MEN.-At the re quest of Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., the Comptrol ler-General of the Coast Guard, the Admiralty have ordered small parties of Coast Guard men to be removed on board the Excellent, gunnery ship, at Portsmouth, for a limited time, to perfect themselves in the system of gunnery taught in that establishment. Their Lordships have also ordered the Benbow, 72, at Sheerness, to be appropriated for a similar purpose. COAST GUARD AND COAST DEFENCE.—WO understand from the best authority, that not only is it the intention of the Government to establish batteries, and to drill all the men of the Coast Guard Service, but it is in contem plation to enrol the seamen and fishermen of the coast us sea fieneibles, or a coast militia, and to drill them in the use of the musket and at the great gun exercise. With this view the Admiralty are appointing active and experienced officers in the service, having conceded, as an inducement, the advantage of permitting them to count their time served iu the Coat Guard as for sea service. The Commandant of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines has been directed to permit the Coast G uard in the neighbourhood to exercise at the sea bat teries of the artillery companies, as well as at those of the divisional companies. The reward of 1001. per annum, for distinguished service has been conferred on Major-General H. God win, C. 8., an officer of great merit and distinction. Commencing service with the 90th Foot at Ferrol, he afterwards proceeded to Hanover in 1805, and subse quently was with the Peninsular Army in Portugal, in 1808 and 1809. During the latter period he was present at the memorable passage of the Douro. Marching from Gibralter to Tarifa, in command of two flank com panies, he went there with Lord Lynedoch, and was present at the battle of Barossa, where he was severely wounded. From this time until 1824, Major-General God win had few opportunites of serTice, but in that year we find him engaged in the Burmese war. From 1824 to 1826 he held six separate commands against the enemy, on one of which he captured the fortified town of Mar taban, and afterwards the fortified position of Tantabain, where he captured 36 pieces of artillery. Subse quently in the action at Sembike, when in command of the advanced guard he carried the front face of the enemy's position. Major-General Thomas Bunbury, has suc ceeded to the distinguished service reward of 1001 per annum. This gallant officer led the storming party at Forts Frederick and Zelandia, as a volunteer, at the capture of Surinam, inllBo4. He also served in the cam paign of 1814, in Holland, including the attacks on Mexem, and the bombardment of the French fleet at Antwerp. General Bunbury subsequently served in the American war. We regret to find by accounts received by tho last West India mail, that that distinguished corps, the 88th, or Connaught Rangers, h as su ff ere d severe ly fr o m f ever . THE ENCAMPMENT AT KENSALL MoolL—The force stationed at the camp, consisting of the 9th Regiment, has been increased by two companies of the 30th; and the number of troops there now amount to about 1,000. Several men have been compelled to go into hospital at the Regent's Barracks, Manchester. RECRUITS FOR THE ROYAL MARINES.—The standard has been raised for recruits for this corps to 5 ft et 6.1 inches for growing lads between the ages of eighzeen and twenty years, and 5 feet 7 inches from twenty to twenty-five years of age. NEW STEAM -VESSELS.—The Admiralty have ordered that in future all steam-vessels with new machinery, and especially with screw-propeller engines, when tried for the first time out of port, are to be accompanied by another steamer. INCREASED ARMANENTS.--Orders have been received at Portsmouth to receive, when ready, six guns, to be sent to Malta, by first conveyance, to the Queen, 110, which ship is in fut ure t o mount 116 guns . Th e addi tion is two 325, 42 cwt., 81t. long, on main-deck ; two 325, 45 cwt., 8 ft. 6 in. on quarter-deck ; and two 325, 25 cwt., 6 ft. on her forecastle. The Amphion, auxiliary screw steam-frigate, is also to take on board at Spithead an additional number of guns, making her armament 34 —viz., one 50 cwt. 32-pounder and one 25 cwt. 32- pounder on the forecastle ; one 50 cwt. 32-pounder on the quarter-deck; and one 50 cwt. 32 pounder on the main deck. Boys.—Some new regulations have been issued re cently with respect to the boys of her Majesty's service. The Admiralty hare directed that all boys who have served for any time, and have good characters, may be entered on board the flag ships, and are to be the first that are drafted for vacancies. Those boys who have been paid off are in future to have the same privi leges granted to them as to seamen, namely—to be granted six weeks' leave, at the expiration of which time, if they do not come back, they are not to have " run" marked against their names ; but boys who are at tached to the flag ship in consequence of not having served their time, are not entitled to six weeks' leave, but leave may be granted them at the discretion of the Captain. All the Supernumerary Boys in the flag ships are to be discharged into the first vacancies that occur in the Squa drons, andino more boys are to be entered until the Supernumeraries are provided for. THE NEW LIGHTS FOR STEADIERS.--We understand, from very good authority, that the Austrians have ex pressed a disposition to adopt, in the Austrian Navy, and in the Austrian Steam• Packet Company's boats, the new system of lights, for the prevention of collisions at sea, introduced by the Admiralty, the plan of which ap peared in our Gazette of last week. All foreign Navies, it is expected, will gladly avail themselves of this excellent arrangement. THE FRENCEL SYSTEM.—The Admiralty, adopting the French system, have directed that the Royal Frederick, 110, built at Portsmouth, shall not be launched or cop pered, but she is to be kept on the stocks. She is to be considered as au advanced ship, and her stores and ar mament are to be provided accordingly. THE L'ACIFIC.—It is a fact to be deplored that the naval force on the South American station is already very deficient, and is about to be still further reduced. At present the squadron consists of the Asia, 84, flag ship; Grampus, 50, Captain H. B. Martin; Constance, 50; Captain Courtenay ; Juno, 26, Captain Blake; Calypso, 20, Captain Worth; and Sampson, steam-frigate, Cap tain Henderson. The Grampus is, however, now re ceiving freight to bring home, and the Juno is to follow in August; consequently the station will be left with only four ships to protect British interests in a part of the world wherein they need most protection. In consequence of an apprehended attack by the Indians on Belize, the Admiralty have ordered a suffi cient force there for the protection of British interests. REGULAR COMMUNICATION WITH THE COAST OF AFRICA.—As the Admiralty have arranged to dispatch u man-of-war to the coast of Africa station on the Ist of every month, taking mails to Madeira and other islands, en route to Sierra Leone and Ascension, so their Lord. ships have ordered Commodore Sir C. Hotham, the Commander-in-Chief there, to send one ship of his squadron, on the Ist of every month, with a mail for England. SIERRA LEONE. —The want of a safe and commodious landing-place for boats at Sierra Leone, end also of a wharf with a goad depth of water alongside, is, we un derstand, about to be supplied. Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, has taken great interest in the matter, and has employed the Master of his ship to make a survey, which has been ',very ably done, and a drawing for o arded, we understand, to the Admiralty. When this is completed, a steam-ship as large as the Penelope will be able to go alongside to coal. THE LATE COMMANDER LEVINGE.—A private letter from an officer on the African station thus notices the death of that most estimable officer, Commander Le vine :—" Commander Levinge, of the Penelope, to the sincere regret of all on the station, died on the evening of the 24th of April, at the time when a marine named Imre, who had died in the morning, was in the act of being committed to the deep. The Penelope had been to Congo for water, and al though only one night there, contracted in that short space of time four cases of fever, one of which was the commander. The remains of the gallant officer were enclosed in a copper coffin and thus brought to Ascen sion, at which island he was buried on the 26th ult." GRAND REVIEW OF THE TROOPS AT WOOLWICH. Woo',lvrea, JULY 7.—lt was announced in orders, at a late hour last night, that the whole of the troops in the garrison would assemble on Woolwich-common shortly after ten o'clock, A.M. today, in review order; and at eleven o'clock Field Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived on the parade ground in front of the Royal Artillery Barracks, j attended by Colonel Wylde, CB., and Lieutenant rece?ved Colonel Seymour. His Royal Illghness a on alighting from the royal carrisge by Fiel s d Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, Master-General of the Ordnance, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 13., and K.C.H. Commandant of the garrison, Colonel J. E.

The royal standard was hoisted on the fieg.staff, and a royal salute bred from the mortar battery on his Royal Highness entering the garrison. The Duke of Beaufort and General the Marquis of Lon donderry, Colonel of the 2d Life Guards, had arrived a few minutes previous to Prince Albert, and were pre sent to receive his Royal Highness. At ten minutes past eleven, Prince Albert, dressed in the uniform of field-marshal, and a brilliant staff, pro ceeded to the common, where the troops were drawn up in line from south to north; the Royal Horse Artillery under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Bell; the line under the command of Lieutenant -Colonel Crut tenden, formed into three battalions, the right under the command of Lieutenant-colonel Palmer, the centre under Lieutenant-Colonel Evans, the l e ft under Lieutenant Colonel FurneauS; the Royal Sappers and Miners under the command of Captain Cragie, and the Royal Marines under the cornreand of Lieutenant- Colonel Coryton, the field batteries under the cona maed of Colonel Cleveland. Immediately on entering the common his Royal Highness was joined by Field-Marshal the Duke, of Wellington, who had just arrived, in uniform. His Royal Highn ess welcomed the Gallant Puke , shook hands with him, and remained in conversation with the veteran warrior during the whole time of the review. Major- General Prince George of Cambridge and his Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse, arrived in a few mi nutes after the Duke of Wellington, in uniform— the Prince of Hesse in a very handsome Prussian military dress, with helmet cap, the whole of a fine blue colour ; the Duke of Richmond, in the uniform of a yeomanry co r ps ; Colon e l t h e E ar l o f Cardigan, in the uniform of the 11th (Prince Albert's own) Hussars ; Colon( 1 Campbell, Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Celonel Hardinge, li.H , Royal Artillery, and Lieut..- Lieutenant-Colonel Pester, Colonel Gordon, Royal Mariets, Major Thurlow and Captain Paget attended as Aides-de-C am p t o th e Master-General. There were numerous carriages on the ground, with distinguished parties in them, and general and other officers not in uniform, On his Royal Highness Prime Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the brilliant s taff approaching the troops, his Royal Hi g h nes s Prince Albert was received by the Master-General and the Commandant of the Garriseil, the troops pr ese nting arms, and the ban ds of the . Nrious branches of the service playing the National At them. Prince Albert, ith the whole of the ee e•-•%s, then rode down the line and up the rears, "antining particularly the clean and excellent appearance o f the men, the fine condition of the horses and the excellence of their ap pointments. Prince Albert and the staff of officers then returned to the flag-staff, and the field batteries having moved forward to the head of the line, the troops marched past at slow and quick time, and the field b at t e ries at a trot, an d th e Royal Morse A rt ill ery at a trop and afterwards at a full gall o p, The field bat teries then commence d f ir i ng, an d going through their evolutions, which they performed ie a highly creditable m anner, affording a m p le evidence of their efficieecy. The Royal Hor se Artillery neat went through their evolutions with great celerity an d ; ; precision, showing their capabilities for quick movement ; and now that they have larger guns, with six instead of four horses each, their more effective firing. The Royal Horse Artillery and the field batteries, at the coneusion, were formed into line near the Royal Military Academy, and fired several rounds from each gun, tie royal and distin guished visitors proceeding to the right of the line to witness the practice. His Royal Highness Prince Allen and the staff, on leaving the common, visited the mortar battery, and witness( d several rounds fired flew the howitzers and mortars at a flag-staff, distant 60( yards, and the prac tice was very good. Prince Albert, attended by Lieutenant Colonel Sey mour, entered the royal carriage at the mortar battery, and returned to Buckingham Palace at a quarter past one o'clock, proceeding along the Blackheath•-road. The Duke of Wellington proceeded with the officers to the mess-room, the band of the Royal Artillery playing " See the Conquering Hero comes," and after partaking of an elegant dtjeuner, returned to Apsley House.

CHILD MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN MANCHESTER. FRIDAY. A woman named Ann Davies, the wife of Joseph Davies, an engine -driver, destroyed her child this morning under the fol lowing distressing circumstances. Mrs. Davies gave birth to the child , about a fortnight ago, and on Tuesday last the father, who bad been ill for some time, died of consumption. On entering her room this morning the infant was found in bed quite dead, having been drowned, and then again placed in the bed. A rope was found in the kitchen, suspended from a hook, having a noose at the end, and on the floor was found another hook, which had been drawn apparently by her weight. It would seem that the poor woman had been disturbed, and then left the house. A letter was found disposing of her little property. No tidings have yet bee❑ heard of her. . _ HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.—A deputation from upwards of sixty waterworks companies in England (George Arthur Williams, High Bailiff of Cheltenham, chairman), have been for some time sitting at Osborne's Hotel, Adelphi, in or& r to protect their in terests from the injuries this Bill would inflict upon them if passed in its present form. They complain not without cause of the breach or faith en the part of Lord Nlorpeth, who after having consented to insert clauses for their protection, and having them printed in his own Bill—all at once, after the deputations had left London, and without giving them notice, withdrew the whole of them! From what took place, however, last night in the House of Lords, these companies, it is hoped, will at last obtain justice. DEVONSEIIRE. — The weather during the past week has beets showery, and not particularly favourable for the hay harvest. Nevertheless, considerable quantities have been cut, and saved, for the most part in tolerable fair condition. The grain crops look well upon the whole, and, if the weather should now take a favourable turn, we may anticipate an excellent harvest.— Watern Luminary. ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB. - PLYMOUTH, JULY s.—On Monday last there was an election of a secretary, in the room of Walter Lerner Esq., who had resigned. The re were on l y two candidates, Lieut. Digby, RN., and Capt. Fisk. On a poll being taken, there were 39 votes for Lieut. Digby, and 25 for Capt. Fisk. The former was therefore elected. - - ----- BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The ordinary meeting was held last evening, at the society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand—J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S president, in the chair. T. C. Hunt, Esq., her Majesty's consul at St. Michael's, Azores, presented a valuable collection of specimens collected by him at St. Mary's. In this collection were new species not before observed in the Azores, although found in South Europe. Mr. Sanson communicated a paper, being a " Notice of the discovery of Schistostega pennata in Wales." A speci men was presented. DUBLIN, JULY 6.—Mr. Sergeant Warren died this day, at his residence in Leeson-street. A serious accident has befallen another eminent advocate, Mr. George Bennett. On Monday last he was coming out of the Limerick Club-house, and unfortunately trod upon an orange peel, by which he was thrown heavily against the kerb stone. The exact character of the injury sus tained is not given, but it appears to have been serious. The deceased Sergeant and Mr. Bennett were most in timate friends. IhrmAnKET.—On Tuesday next the performances at this theatre are to be devoted to the benefit of Mr. Frederick Webster, the efficient stage director. We are sure that it only requires to be made generally known in order to secure a bumper for a gentleman who has contributed so much to the amusement and comfort of all play goers. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, Juts 7.—The Danish schooner Mathilde, Captain Ruben, arrived off Cowes this morning, from Mazatlan, Gulf of California; she has on freight 350,000 dollars in specie, which is to be landed at Cowes, and forwarded to London. SPECIE.—The ship Vernon, arrived in the Dock from Madras and the Cape of Good Hope, respectively, has brought from the former place seven boxes of specie, five of which were individually addressed, and two con signed to order; and from the Cape eight boxes of specie, also consigned to order. NATIONAL. REPRESENTATION.—We are requested to make the following corrections:—Sir William Moles worth's name to be added to the Ayes (minority); Vis count Mahon, instead of the O'Gorman Mahon, in the Noes (majority). WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—For the last few days we have had fine warm weather, which, coupled with increased supplies, causes the trade to be dull, and millers restrict their operations to present wants. Wheat may be noted ls. to 2s. per quarter cheaper, and spring corn is offered on somewhat lower terms. CHEQUES ON THE REPUBLICAN BANK.--It is known that in the quarters occupied by the insurgents they gave orders for bread and meat. The following is a copy of two bonds given to a baker in Rue Mesnilmon tant:—" French Republic—ln the name of the people bakers are enjoined to deliver gratuitously to every per son who shall demand it a pound and a half of bread, and half a pound to children.—(Signed)—E. C., Quartier St. Maur." " Bond for six four pound loaves for the barricade of Rue Mesnilmontant, near Rue d'Angou- IC:me, for the people.—E. C., Quayfemmappes." SUICIDE.—We regret to announce a determined, act of self-destruction committed yesterday morning, in Hasler Barracks, near Gosport, by Adjutant Edmund William Jennings, second senior lieutenant of the 91st regiment. The unfortunate gentleman, whilst in his room, placed a pistol in his mouth, and effectually destroyed life, by blowing away a portion of the skull. Surgical assistance was promptly sent for, and arrived. The deceased was highly respected. Numerous rumours are in circulation as to the cause of the sad immolation, which would be impolitic to publish. A coroner's in quest is summoned. MANUFACTURE OF PIKES AT GLASGOW. — F rom information communicated to the police during the week, we understand they were led to make an inspec tiona of a house in Anderston, where they found number of pikes newly manufactured, and o the mostds offitteen formidable character, the blades being and ontinue inches in length. The manufacturers " ; weapons have in the meantime absconded, c been mado for the at large. It is thought the pikes bad ar hese deadly Irish market, as it is extremely imp. iove for cold steel as our denizens have acquired such a obable that any of Glasgow Paper. to covet the possession of s uch dangerous articles.— THE LATE OUTBREAK IN PARIS. (From the Dublin Pilot.) We discussed this momentous event in our last, as connected with the blind obstinacy of misrule, which, feeding discontent until it grows into vengeance, con- I summates its own overthrow by one revolution, leaving in the bosom of society a legacy of vice, disorganization, and extravagant expectations which supply material for many revolutions. We now come to treat that event — as was our intention from the first—as it affords a lesson to the aggrieved and oppressed to whom revolution seems in prospect the last sad resource, that so serious an affair may not be as flippantly undertaken as it can be written upon, or without that sober and deliberate inquiry into the utility of means and ends—of materials and of principles, by which alone a revolution can be consolidated. Without this, what is undertaken, as the end will prove to be but the beginning of calamity. There is, as we all know, and some of us have felt, considerable intrepidity required to confront the errors arid crimes of power. There is another duty of a journalist which requires, at least, equal moral cou rage—namely, to resist delusion when it infects yet en dangers a people. The late outbreak in Paris—from the bosom of the Republic by those who had conquered it—the attempt to revolutionize a revolution with all its bloody concomitants, is, we think, pregnant with in struction to others—we know it has instructed ourselves —and with this advantage, that it is a salutary lesson of experience to Ireland without dearly purchasing it. The late conflict in Paris has supplied us with evidence. Let us not neglect its warnings. It has told us that a revolution achieved is not always accomplished—that in its very successes it may have collected elements of dis order, requiring more severe measures, and more stringent laws to consolidate, than those by which the original revolution was stimulated. This is a subject peculiarly urgent for the Irish people at this juncture to investigate, and on the Irish press to discuss. Heaven forbid Irishmen should be found incapable of the in quiry, or that it should not possess any portion of a press with courage to enter upon it! Then, indeed, we might give up such a country in despair. The Irish people suffer more afflictions than the French did under Louis Philippe. Admitted. Do they therefore meditate the same plan of redress? If so, have they prepared such a catastrophe with means or upon principles which present any probability of success; and that success redress, not calamity aggravated? And if the answer to these questions be untavourable to the revolutionary experiment, are the Irish people, in the indulgence of the sentiment, neglecting materials of redress which would be much more capable of obtaining the promised advantages without the positive evils of a revolution of blood? These are serious questions, and which a people not insane will inquire into and decide before deluded to act. We cannot deny the fact—and it would be un worthy of our position and duty to the Irish people to evade it—that a certain portion of the Irish public press, and some public men, openly advocate revolu tion—name time, means, and end. The Government upon which they would war, and the people they profess to regenerate, are, therefore, purchasers with notice. Now, we say that if such avowals of intent are not serious, they are mischievous to every interest of so ciety; and, if serious, are fatal to their end, and must render it abortive. What wise tactician serves notice on the enemy when, where, and by what mode ho means to meet him? We do not believe that the men who adopt such strategy really mean to fight themselves; but if a portion of the people but believe them, they may bring others into misfortune, and con fi rm t h e ver y injus tice they profess to overthrow. The principles asso ciated with the projected Irish revolution are totally sub• versive of its success, or efficacy if it did succeed. Some of the leading writers of this revolutionary school have repeatedly exhorted the people, even during the exist ence of law and of power to enforce it—that when the tax-gatherer comes to the door, the answer should be, not money, but the thrust of the pike. A distinguished member of the Confederation made to ua the most appropriate eommentary on it by saying, " he hoped the person who gave that advice will be the first to act upon it." That would, indeed, be an effectual means of getting rid of such a firebrand. In fact, butchery, a n d f eroc i ty, and severance of * society and ranks, breathes through every line and word of the present advocates of R e p u bli can i sm and Revolution, and no possible good or success could grow out of their prin ciples of action, even if Revolution was under other cir cumstances desirable or practicable. Is not union of ranks one of the elements of success which any honest Revolutionist would aim at ? Is not every project of these Revolution-mongers subversive of union ? They tell the people that they must keep the har vest corn in the country with the pike, as the harvest belongs to the people. Is not this the same Communism which caused the late horrors in France ? If the corn belongs to the people as of right, it does not belong to the farmer who has raised it and enriched the soil by his labour and capital so as to produce it. Will the farmer aid a revolution founded on principles which will give every man an equal right to the property of his hard toil? Who will till the ground the year after, when a revolution founded on such a principle would divide in gavel its fruits ? What man who pos sesses and can earn will join a struggle which reduces every man who possesses or will earn to the condition of those who have nothing, and will not acquire ? Yet, such a revolution is to be NV on by unanimity, forsooth— a revolution which is to compensate Ireland in wealth and prosperity for the emaciating effects of the Union. No, no; if we are to have a revolution it is not to be ffected by such men or such principles. Such a revolution would be one, even in success, the domination of every profligate, idler, and therefore pauper—against every human being who possessed and would or could earn. It would be a war against rank, education, mo rality, and religion. It is time for the good sense of the community to interpose, and save liberty and repeal from the incendiary doctrines of anarchy, murder, out rage, arid plunder, usurping the name of rationality and freedom. We know it is very hard for men of humanity to look upon the misery of the poor Irish people—the total neglect of their condition—the flagrant pretences and absurd sophistry upon which that neglect is de fended, without the blood boiling in the veins, and a sen timent which opens the soul to the suggestions of ven geance, net reason. Wretches or fanatics avail them selves too successfully of such a state of thing, and per vert the sentiments of humanity into doctrines which are redolent of crime, But the best antidote to the infection of such a disease is to arm ourselves with right and jus tice. Have we, let us seriously ask ourselves, no re medy for grievance, but in the insanity by which it must be exasperated ? We say, we have. The remedy is, the old tried doctrine of peaceful organization. It we don't come to it now, we'll have to resort to it at last. We do not blind ourselves to the fact, that if England perseveres in her present misgovernment of Ire land, it must end in a revolution. Those eruptions in the human, as well as in the terrestial world, are the ex ceptions to nature, not its rule. But there will be this difference between a revolution preceded and prepared by great and virtuous moral organization, as contrasted with the doctrines of our present revolutionists. That, if it must come, the people will be in the right—they will have the sympathies of the world—the adhesion of all ranks and orders of the nation—the struggle successful and its success salutary. Let the Irish people now unite and leaizue together in peaceful organization. In that they still possess an element of strength, which, we are convinced, will do all that revolution professes, without its dangers.

THE BELLEROPHON COURT-MARTIAL.-A court martial was summoned yesterday morning by signal gun from the Victory, 104, flag-ship of the Commander in-Chief of the Portsmouth station, on board that ship, for the trial of Macdonald, the marine, for striking Cap tain Baynes, of the Bellerophon, whilst in the execution of his duty, on Sunday last. The prosecution was closed at twelve o'clock, when the prisoner was called on for any defence he wished to make, when he asked, through his solicitor (Mr. Binstead, of Portsmouth), for an adjournment cf the Court until nine o'clock this morn ing, which was granted. The Pilot, 16, and Tweed, 18, at Plymouth, have both gone into the Sound to be paid advance, prior to going to Portsmouth to join the exercising squadron.

LAW OF BANKRUPTCY. Lord BROUGHAM, in rising to move the second reading of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Bill, said that he wished to preface that motion with a few obser vations. Their Lordships were aware that the Act of Lord Eldon (passed in 1825) systematized and consoli dated a great many Acts relating to the law of Bank ruptcy ; but now, independent of that Act (so great had been the changes in the law since), there were 21 Acts of Parliament in force, making altogether 42 Acts which bad been passed on the subject. The conse quence of this was, that the trade of the country com plained, and with very great reason too, of the obscu rity of the law, In the second place, the trade of the country complained (and a petition on the sub ject was to be presented that evening by his Noble Friend Lord Wharncliffe, whose absence at that moment he regretted) of the abolition of imprisonment for debt. Now he did not think that the Legislature would restore imprisonment for debt, though, at the same time, they might modify the substitute which had been given, and devise more effectual means for the protection of the creditor. The digest which he had now to present to their Lordships had been most carefully compiled. He claimed no credit for the compilation himself, which was entirely the work of • worthy and most judicious officer of the Court of Bank ruptcy, Mr.: Miller, who had digested the law in 342 sections. The Bill had been most judiciously prepared, the whole subject being brought together under twelve heads. He would add one more word in regard to the present working of the system. It was with satisfaction he could state the complete success of the new law. It was universally appro►ed among the trading com munity. Six Commissioners now did the work of the seventy that formerly existed ; because those seventy were only employed occasionally, and separately, while the six were employed constantly through all parts of the country. That was a most admirable test of the excellence of the system. The second great merit of the system was the appointment of official as signees. By their agency no less a sum that 1,400,0001. had been recovered under old Commissions, which under the former bankruptcy system had been reckoned as desperately bad debts. Some of those Commissions had actually been superseded for 20, 30, and in some cases 40 years, and the old assignees had ceased to act. His friend Mr. J. Smith had informed him that his house had gained as much as 4,0001. and 5,0001. a-year under the old system of assigneeship, but that since the new system bad been introducee the whole of that sum had been lost to them; and yet his friend gave that measure his hearty support, Although there were at . present six Commissioners, yet, instead of that mune ber being too few. they were found to be too many, and he believed it was not intended to fill the next two vacancies that might occur, as four Commissioners would be found amply sufficient to do the work. By a return which was before him it appeared that the num ber of appeals in bankruptcy averaged for the last six years in London five a year, and the average for the whole of the country districts was, for the same period, nine a year, leaking for London and the country to gether the average number of fourteen and a half appeal cases in the year. There were 1,100 commissions issued the year before last, and 1,716 commissions last year, and the number of appeals in those two years was not on the average fourteen and a half, but only eleven. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by moving that the Bill be read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was much to be deplored that so important a branch of the law as that relating to bankruptcy should be scattered over such "a number of Acts of Parliament, and he considered it very desirable that those various Acts should be conso lidated. He thought the course which he understood his Noble and Learned Friend intended to take—that of referring the Bill to a Select Committee—was perfectly right. But before that Committee could properly deal with this measure, it must necessarily decide upon a most important question—namely, whether the law of bankruptcy and insolvency should be hereafter kept dis tinct. They were now almost the subjects of one and the same system, though at present administered by separate jurisdictions. The Bill was then read a second time. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. On the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Health of Towns Bill being read, The Earl of FITZIIARDINGE presented a petition from certain proprietors of waterworks in Cheltenham praying to be heard by counsel against the Bill. Lord STANLEY presented several petitions from va rious waterworks companies with a similar prayer, and suggested the propriety of referring the Bill to a Select Committee up stairs. Lord BROUGHAM hoped, if the Bill was referred to a Select Committee, that the Committee would sit ' from day to day, with the view of passing the Bill this session. That dreadful scourge the cholera was now at St. Petersburgh atid;Moscow, and ho had heard of its having been discovered recently in Paris. This excel lent measure would he its best preventative, and he, therefore, hoped the Bill would soon become the law of the land. Cholera, it was certain, from the evidence of Dr. Southwood Smith, could be prevented if the premo nitory symptoms were taken in proper time; and this fact could not be too extensively known. One great evil of the Bill was, that one-tenth of the population of a place must pi esent a memorial in favour of the applica tion of the Bill to their tqwn. This would render the Bill almost rugatory, as in the case of Liverpool, for in stance, it would require that such memorial should be signed by 4,000 per s ons. Lord CAMPBELL was surprised. at the suggestion that the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee. It had been brought from the Commons on the 22d of June, and this cay was unanimously agreed to for going into a Committee of the whole House on the Bill. It would be a matter of deep disappointment to the public, and might lead to serious mischief, in the event of the approach of that dreadful scourge to which his Noble and Learned Friend had referred, if the Bill were delayed by sending it to a Select Committee. The Noble Lord then moved that the House should go into Com mittee on the Bill. Lord REDESDALE thought it was utterly impos sible to consider this Bill fairly in a Committee of the whole House. No man was more anxious than himself that the Bill should pass this session, and he thought if a Select Committee were to sit de die in diem they might perfect the measure in four or five days. He should, therefore, move as an amendment that the Bill be re ferred to a Select Committee. Lord BROUGHAM said they all agreed to the prin ciple of the Bill, and it was virtually over. There had been no objection to the second reading or to the report, and there was but one stage left ; ho hoped, therefore, that his Noble and Learned Friend would not object to its being carefully considered in Committee. The Duke of RICHMOND would answer for it that the Bill would not be more than five or six days before a Select Committee. Lord KINNAIRD did not object to the Bill being referred to a Select Committee, after the assurance which had been given by the Noble Lord opposite. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH was most anxious that the Bill should be passed, and if be thought any changes would be made in it which would render it unaccptable to the House of Commons, or if be considered the ob ject was to delay the Bill until another session, he would oppose its being referred to a Select Committee ; but he was sure that his Noble Friends had no such motives, and that the Bill could be better discussed in a Select Committee. esty 's Government to accede to the prop osal of sen d ing . the The Bishop of LONDON recomme nded her Maj Bill to a Select Committee, with the understanding that nu unnecessary delay would tak e p lace. Lord s r P e c O o l u t l T d eA so N wells e d consideredit e a m a eau Select Committee. It had been his fate to ask the Noble Lord opposi te (Stanley) to adopt this cou rse with s in imposs ibl e th e house that any as in re gard te the Comm ons Enclosure and other B ills, and the Noble Lord now advised the he was glad to find that G o vernment to do that which he had himself invariably refused to accede t o. That worst of all possible Acts, the Metropolitan Buildings Act, was sacrificed in the by leaving its considerat ion in committee to same way, p ermitting the whole House, instead of its details to be discussed by a Se lect Committee. As ho w as most de sirous that the Bill should pass in as perfect a state as he advised the Government to concede this possible,poinT. he Marquis of LANSDOWNE had come down quite prepared to support this Bill against any opposition it m ight meet with, on the ground of its extreme import ance at all times and its special importance at present, when the circumstances of the time were circumstances o f peculiar urgency. He felt strongly also that the Go vernment had not been fairly used resp ecting this mea sure. A week had been thrown awayw ith out no tice being given that there was any inte ntio n takeany course now adopted by the other side. _ ion to the But he was bound to accept the declarations which had been made, that the desire of the House was to render this measure as per fect as possible, and on that ground he concurred in ad vising his Noble and Learned Friend to permit the Bill to be referred, solely with the view that the clauses reight be carefully examined and reported on. Lord STANLEY wished to declare that there had been no intention to surprise the House or to take any unfair course with regard to this measure. The real fact was, that certain Peers, who took an interest in the subject, had assembled yesterday, an come to the con clusion that the Bill ought to be referred, and the mo ment that resolution was passed a communication to that effect was made to the Noble and Learned Lord. Lord CAMPBELL said he withdrew his motion, and ho did so readily, cordially, after the declarations which had been made of a desire to render the Bill perfect, and to facilitate its progress. 'rho motion was then withdrawn. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH wished to recommend that this measure should be applied to Scotland, or that a similar measure applicable to that country should speedily be introduced. VISCOUNT ARBUTHNOT'S CASE. The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar and reported that having made every inquiry for Lord Ad buthnot, ordered to be arrested under the warrant of ' the House, he had to state that the Noble Lord could not be found, and that there was every reason to believe that he had left the country. ,~ ~:.
