IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, April 21. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) IRISH FISHERIES BILL. Mr. CONOLLY, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said he was not the advocate of any particular class or interest in Ireland, and would shrink from bringing forward a measure of such importance on any bat pub lic grounds. There were three interests connected with salmon fisheries in Ireland, and, though they were anta gonistic to each other, they had only one common fish in the and identical object, viz., keeing up the supply of best and most approved manner. The public had likewise a great interest in the question, for it was of importance to them that a good maximum supply of fish should always be maintained. What had been the state of legislation on this subject? In 1842 a Bili was passed which dealt with and consolidated Ho less than twenty five old statutes respecting fisheries in the sister country, but he felt justified in saying that the mode in which that measure treated existing rights was shameful and unconstitutional, From the time of Magna Charta up to 1842 these fisheries were virtually public property, though very much drawn upon by private in terests, but since then the public had been deprived of their undoubted rights, and the fisheries had become a monopoly in the hands of private individuals. The Bill of 1842 proceeded upon the principle as it there was no such thing as public right; and he contended that this was a very serious error. It, in fact, estab lished a monopoly in the landowners against the public right, and so the Learned Judge announced from the beach who tried certain persons at Waterford for in fringing its provisions. That learned person, in point of fact, gave it as his opinion that the provisions of the Bill repealed the rights of the people in relation to fisheries as they were explained and conferred in Magna Charts. The law as it now stood went upon the theory of non interference by Government. It was indeed left to the public to see that it was properly eu forced, and the consequence was it was never enforced at a l l. Now this defect in the law ought to be immediately , remedied, and a Bill passed to give the upper pro prietors on the Irish streams the same inducement to preserve the fish that were enjoyed by the proprietors on the lower waters. The llth and 121 h Vic toria, relating to this branch of the subject, he readily admitted had worked exceedingly well, and s all he wanted the House to do was to extend and en large its provisions. The Act of the Hon. Member far Youghal was also an improvement upon the old sys tem; but still, notwithstanding all these remedial changes in the law, the quantity of fish in the Irish waters bad of late years very seriously diminished. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeel to read passages from the annual reports of the Irish Fishery Commission, with the view of showing that although there had, since 1842, been an increase in the supply of fish, yet the in crease did not proceed from the fruitful character of the waters, but from the facilities which the defective state of the law afforded to poachers. In some districts the decrease on the take of salmon had been 50 per cent., while the Westport district was the only one which showed any indication of an increase. (The Hon. Gen tleman proceeded to read an extract in order to show that, at present, during the months of June and July, when salmon is most plentiful in the Dublin market, the prices had risen since the Act of 1842. from three pence or fourpence per pound to one shilling.) The amendments and improvements on the old law pro posed in the present Bill he could, from practical knowledge of the subject, recommend as advantageous in all respects, particularly in opening the mouths of the rivers for the free ingress of the fish. It was his opinion that if the Government thought it their duty to reject this Bill without a fair inquiry, they would not be acting in the way which he had a right to exp-ct, and lie would implore all Members, whether Irish or Scotch, to assist in a measure which would bring credit upon themselves and prosperity upon their tellow-creatures. Lord N A A.A complimented the Hon. Member upon the diligence and information which be brought to pear upon this question. He, himself, would yield to no one in the interest which he felt in the settlement of this very im portant and difficult question. In 1842 an Act on this subject was passed, which repealed twenty-six former Acts, and formed a new fishery code. Since that time six new Acts had been passed on the same subject, and he was not prepared to say that the present state of legislation was satisfactory. Of late years it was undenied that there had been a great decrease in the value of Inc salmon fisheries, which some persons attributed to the Act or 1842, some to the increase of drainage, , some to trio killing of fish in the spawn bed, and others to the brevity of the close fisheries. Whatever was the cause, it was undoubted that there had been - over-fishing to a considerable extent, and the number or fish was rapidly decreasing. He admitted that legislative interference might be necessary, but he certainly would nor, give his consent to the me thod of legisla ion proposed by the Hon. Gentleman, the chief tea'are of which was to sweep away one in terest altoget her—i ha; of the Stake-weir owners. It would be undoubreety neceesery for the Government to intreduce dUIAI. measure on the subject, bur it would be one to eftet all interests equally, and ho could not help saying that in his opinion one of the chief means to be adopted must be to lengthen the period of the close season. The Bill of the Honourable Gentleman was not one to which ho could give his undivided support, and considering that the Government had i.s attention fixed upon th- suhj,ct, he hoped that the Hon. Gentleman would postpone this Bill tor the present. Mr. MONSELL was glad to see that the Government opposed this Bill, le-cause, for his own part, he attri buted the late alarming decrease of fish in Ireland to legislation. By some mysterious influence the fish seemed to retreat before the advances of that House. Mr. SCULLY said that the great want felt in Ireland was want of funds—(Leughter)---he meant want of funds to improve these fisheries, Scotland had a grant of 14,0001. p> r annum for the purpose of improving the deep sea fisheries, and the river fisheries were of quite as much importance to Feland as the deep sea fisheries were t i Scotland. He complained of the inactivi'y of the Fishery Board in Dublin; they had not only done no good, but in some instances had even done harm, and considerably injured the fisheries, and thwarted the eff,rts of priv persons. He thought that Go vernment alone could successfully legislate on this sub ject, and ho hoped that the Hon. Member for Donegal would wilidraw meesure for the present. Mr. H. HERBERT also recommended the with drawal of the Bill, and hoped that the Government would tarn its attention towards this important subject. He also must bear testimony to the injudicious and arbitrary conduct of the Fishery Commissioners; and not only had they frequently been guilty of local and individual injustice, but tney had failed to produce any general and universal benefit to the fisheries. Captain JONES said that he thought the great reason of the decrease in the Irish fisheries was the shortness of the close season, and the best means of remedying the present evil would be to lengthen the close season. If the Hon. Gentleman did not withdraw the Bill he should move that it be read a second time this day six menthe, Sir el. tsOMERVILLE expressed his hope that the Bill would be withireen He was rej .iced to heir that it Was the intention of the Government to bring forward some measure on the surject.

Hi s sur p r i se was, not that there had been a diminution . of selmea, but m e t a single salmon was to be found i n Ireland. It was impossible for selmen to grow larg e when they were killed y ounge or to multiply before they were married. If any legislative measure could be de vised to remedy the evil, the Government would con sider it their duty to propose it to the House. Mr. FRE WEN thought that a remedy might be found in the proper application of the existing law. Mr. CONOLLY replied, and intimated that he would leave the 8.11 in the hands of the Government, feeling immured that they would take it up. The 'Bill WAS then withdrawn. BUILDING OF CHURCHES. &c., BILL Mr. FREWEN moved the second reading of this Bill, the main object of which was to provide for the repairs and erection of churches in parishes where there was a large population, and a goad endowment for a clergyman in existence, but where no service was per formed in etinbequenee either of .the church being in a ruinous condition and uninhabitable, or of there being n,) o'aurch at all. The SPEAKER intimated that there were certain clatves in the Bill which did not come within its title. The Bill must therefore be withdrawn. Mr. FREWEN said, of course be must how to the decision of the Soeaker. Mr. GLADSTONE also pointed out other clauses which wrre not included in the title. He thought the Hon. Member, before introducing tin Bill, ought to have submitted it to a preliminary inquiry. The Bill was then withdrawn. PARISH CONSTABLES' BILL.

This Bill was read a third time and passed. MILITIA BILL.

Mr. PA.CKE presented a petition against the Militia Bill. INDUSTRIAL AND HIPS PROVIDENT PARTNER- Mr. S SLANEY presented a number of petitions in favour of this Bill. The House then adjourned. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The mortality of London again exhibits a slight in crease, the deaths in the previous week (ending the 10th of April) having been 1,051, those in the week that ended last Saturday being 1.092. In the ten corres ponding weeks of 1842.51 the average number of deaths was 944, which, it raised in proportion to increase of poptliatlOD, becomes 1,038. The mortality of last week therefore exceeds the corrected average by 54 deaths. In comparing the returns of the last two weeks, it ap pears that there is a small increase in epidemics, in die eases of the nervous system, the heart, and the digestive organs, but a decrease in diseases of the organs of re spiration, and also in the tubercular class. Small-pox, which in the previous week was fatal in 34 cases, numbers in the present return 38, which are those of 31 children and 7 adults, 6 of whom were 20 years of age and upwards. In 6 cases it is stated that vac cination had been previously performed, and in these, the patients died at the following ages:-2, 3,7, 10, 22 27 years. Measles has increased in the two weeks from 11 deaths to 18; typhus, remittent fever, &a., from 51 to 56. Influenza numbered iu the two weeks respectively 4 and 6 cases; croup 8 and 10. Last week there were 2 caused by syphilis, and 1 by noma. The wife of a labourer, aged 26 years, died suddenly on 31st March, at 21, Goodman'a-yard, Whitechapel, from cholera. An inquest was held on the body. The class which includes diseases of the respiratory organs still exhibits a great excess above the ordinary amount at this period; the number of deaths referred to it last week being 214. whilst the average of correspond ing weeks. corrected tor increase of population, is only 165. In these weeks the actual numbers ranged from 107 to 185, which latter amount is much below what is now experienced. Bronchitis predominates, and, with the exception of phthisis, produces at present a greater mo rtality than any other disea se on the list.lt carried off 102 persons; pneumonia, 77. Plithists was fatal to 139; its mortality, which is always great, is not sensibly aggravated by causes that have given additional force to other diseases. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING THE PAST WEEK. SUNDAY.—The sky was covered with cloud till 10h. A. , and clear during the remainder of the day. MONDAY.—The sky was overcast till 9h.30m.An1 , and clear afterwards.

THIMSDAY.—Three • fourths of the sky were covered till 9h. A.M. clear until 6h. r.H., and overcast afterwards; cirrostratus. Fume.y.—The sky was covered with cloud till noon, and clear during the remainder of the day; cirrocumulus and cirrostratus. SATURDAY.--The sky was clear till near noon, three fourths were covered with cloud until 7h. P. M., and overcast afterwards; cnmulostratus and cirrostratus. ELECTR.ICITY.—ApriII, between Oh. and 3h.

P.M. was 438° ; the mean readings at the Royal Observatory for the same times were 47-6 Q and 43-6 Q respectively. The reading of the barometer increased from 30 . 06 in. at the beginning of the week to 30-19 in. by 9h. AM. on the 13th , and decrease d to 29 . 72 in. by the end of the week.

THE DRAMA IN ANCIENT ROME. The plays re.oresenre I at. Rome were divided into two classes:—l. The Pallitce 2. The Togate. Iu th- first -he characters in the piece were entirely Grecia : in the latter they were wholly Raman. Fhe Togata were subdivided into pretextatte, when the play was tragedy ; thA tabernarim. when the scenes lay in low Cif» ; Eh- attell ince, or farces ; and the trabeake, when the scene lay in the camp; they had likewise mimes and pantomimes. The chorus consisted sometimes of one person, though generally of several, who stood on the stage during the representation, at first, without any share in the action of the piece, and, as was supposed, in the character of spectators. Tneir business seems to have been singing during the pauses in the action, and delivering moral reflections on what was repre sented on the sage; afterwards, they were incorpo rated with the ac ton as a species of attendants. These theatrical appendages were at last laid aside, because it was thought to appear improbable that intrigues which usually are to be kept secret should be carried on in their presence. Flutes were played during the whole time of the performance, and the chief musician, beating time, directed the actors when they were to raise and when to depress their voices. Sometimes one person re cited the words, and another performed the action of the same part. The tibia or flutes were of various kinds. Tne best account of the manner in which they were used is given us by Madame Dacier, as follow s :-- " The prrformers played on two flutes during the whole of the representation. They stopped the vents of one of them with the righ‘ hand ; that flute was, there (ore, called right•handed. The other was stopped with the lett, and caile3 a left-handed flate. 111 the first there boas but a few holes, which occasioned it to give a deep .5 5 sound; in the other the holes were very numerous; said to be ia- flute sounded a sharp shrill note.

The tragic and comic actors we co r tu va distinguished from each other b y t h e covering theiroire h feet.r s, with The tragedians wore a sort of boot,called a very high heel, which was intended e give them a co mmanding majestic appearanc e . The c omedians wore a light shoe or slipper, called soccus • The se distinctions were preserved in comparatively modern d ram atic representations, tragedi ans wear i ng or bouts, and comedians a slipper or socks. buskins At the end of a play the Romans closed their scenes which, instead of falling from the roof of the theatre downwa rds, were constructed so as to as cen d f rom the ground ; so that when the stage was to be exposed to the v i e w of the spectators the curtain began to descend, disclosing the upper portion of the scene be fore the lower ; and when the piece was concluded the curtain was drawn up again. The an cients originally performed their plays in the open sir, with no scenery but that furnished by nature. As they became more refined they erected theatres, as we have observed, and divided their perform ances into three kinds, tragic, comic, and pastoral. Toe Romany were e xceedingly fond of these en tertainments. Magistrates were appointed to ex hibit them, a nd the people even devoted to the theatre part of the time usually allotted to more weighty affairs, as their plays were usually performed in the day time. .alagnificent theatres were erected BM so metimes even by privat e at the pal? expofl 4e, 'n447'4131 . 1; A deactiptiori of one f - Jf ,t4ege is recorded by Pliny. The scenes were divided into three partitions, one above another. The first con sisted of one hundred and twenty marble pillars, the. second of the same number of pillars, most curiously carved and ornamented with glass ; the third of the saint number of pillars, covered with gilded tablets. Three thousand brazen statues filled up the spaces between the pillars. This theatre would contain. eighty thousand persons. Independently of the ordi nary representations, plays were performed on all solemn occasions, at the public feasts and games, and at the funerals of eminent citizens. No opportunity, indeed, seems to have been neglected to promote this species of entertainment at Rome, and no nation, an cient or modern, appears to have cultivated the intel lectual recreation of the drama with greater success than the Romans.

Before her departure from the city, she will likewise visit the institutionsp a ub g l r i e c tstdesireto et South Boston, as she has expressed see these model institutions. At tentions crowd upon her.—Boston Bee, March 25. The largest and most respectable audience ever as sembled within the walls of the Howard, attended last evening on the occasion of the benefit of Lola Montes. Every part of the house was densely packed. A very striking and commendable feature was the presence of a large number of l a di es , who seem at last to have awakened to the necessity of beholding this famed den seuse. Her career h ence f ort h i n t h e East is settled, for h a ving overcom e the sensitiveness of the fairer portion of the inhabitants o f thi s " C i ty of the Puritans," as it is sometimes called, nothing further remains to complete her triumph. The audience was very enthusiastic. The new ballet of Betty was received in the most flattering manner. It is produced in the grandest style and ex hibits the ertistie powers of the Countess in a highly favourable and gratifying manner. At the conclusion of the performance she was called before the curtain, she advanced to the footl i g h ts , an d in a voice some what subdued by emot i on , d e livered the following brief address:— and vociferously cheered. When the appla use subsided ..

About midnight Lola was serenaded by a splendid band of music. The compliment was handsomely received by the generous and beautiful Countess.—Boston Times, March 20. culars o C f o Mus catine CHAPTEROF TRAGEDIES. On the 3d i nst. a bl oo dy and fatal affray took place u the ty case: at the r es id ence o f Willi a m Chambers, sem, in Mus- LeT f h ol r l e o e w y tg rs ar a e go gi m ve r n . G as eo th . m e p .c ar o t y i- , at that time a citizen of Cedar C Junty, left for California, fully imbued with the fever of the times—thirst for gold. He left a wife and five children behind him to await the result of his desperate adventure and probl ema ti ca l return. His wife, with her children, after h e l e f t , sought the protection of her father, Mr. Benjamin Ny e, an old and worthy citizen, living at the mo u th o f the Pine river, in this county. After he reached the land of gold Mr. M'Coy wrote frequently to his wif e , and forwarded her considerable .8111113 of money—the letters and money passing through the hands of one in whom Mr. M'Coy had every confidence as a man of honour and a friend. But hhioswhohneoeurrr,ehd,isahnodphes7 and the fair name of his deeply he was betrayed, an d chil dren bl a st e d, has become a familiar tale here, where these events occurred. The wife forgot h er vow, and in a moment of passion sacrificed her child ren , her hu s ba n d, and herself irredeemably for this world in the embraces of the false and traitorous friend of the absent. husband. On his return from California, having been successful in the the husband . and father was met quest of wealth, and his bosom. swelling with fond thoughts of' those he left behind him, whom he was now to meet again, met his wife, bbyowtehvisert,aalendofft m d n l ig he l r n a fa r m m y s . the H f e ruits of her guilt —but not all the fruits —they have multipli e d i n bit terness and increased in anguish, until this last sad and bloody fray has resulted, and even yet the harvest of sorrow is not ended. The scene between the heartbroken husband, the shame-covered wife, and group of trembling, tearful, and wondering children, has been touchingly described to us by an eye-wit ness. Mr. M'Coy, his mind soured by suspicion and the stern realities of his situation, selected from among the little group of five one whom he rejected, declaring it was no child of his—that, like the one at the breast, it was the child of crime. After this scene Mr. M'Coy removed his children (four) from their mother a short time ; but subsequently consented that they should remain with her at her father's until he left for California in April next. This was about two months ago. On Wedesnay last Mr. M'Coy came from Cedar County for his children. He stopped at Mr. Chambers's and requested permission to bring them there that night, which was granted. He then went to Mr. Nye's in a waggon, got the four children he claimed, and started on his return to Mr. Chambers. What occurred at Mr. Nye'es we are not advised. On approaching Mr. Chambers's, as he returned, accompanied by his children and a Mr. Long, he was overtaken by Mr. Nye, his father in-- law, and Mr. Patterson, also a son-in-law to Mr. Nye. They drove in advance of Mr. M'Coy, so as to inter cept his waggon. Mr. Nye got down and approached the waggon containing M'Coy and company, making, as he did so, some remark which the witnesses did not hear, except that it related to the children. M'Coy stood up in the waggon and w a r ne d Nye not to approach. Nye continued to advance, however, and M'Coy drew a revolving pistol, and repeated the warning. Nye still advanced, and attempted to, perhaps did, get hold of one of the children, when M'Coy fired. The ball took t ffect in the right shoulder, making a slight wound. Nye . then stooped for a club, and M'Coy shot the second time, the ball striking in the back, but only penetrating the clothing. Nye then advanced with his club, and M'Coy shot a third and fourth time, with but little effect. He was knocked or pushed from the rear of the waggon, and in recover ing his feet dropped his pistol. Mr. Patterson then laid hold of M'Coy behind, as if to hold him, and Nye came at M'Coy with his club again, saying to Patter son " Kill him." M'Coy, releasing himself, threw the latter in front of him, when Nye's blow took effect on Patterson, breaking his collar-bone. M'Coy had drawn a bowie knife, and, on N ye aga i n advancing, sprang on him, and, a vo idi ng hi s c lub, stabbed him in the breast. Nye s till attemp ti ng to strike, he stabbed him a second ti me an d a thi r d. The third stab was to the heart, and Mr. Nye fell dead at his feet. There were several witnesses to the whole affray, but so soon was it over that no effectual inter position could be made. M'Coy gave himself up, and is now awaiting his examination, which will take place as soon as Patterson is suffi c i en tly recovered to appear on the witness-stand. The body of Mr. Nye was interred yesterday.—Dubuque, lowa, Herald, March 11.

(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE GERMAN WHEATCROFT. This insolvent, a lieutenant in the 6.h (Enniskillen) Dragoons, whose case was before the Court on Saturday, again appeared. Mr. Nichols opposed the application for discharge on the part of Mr. Salomons. Mr. Lucas appeared far two creditors named Harris and Lazarus. Mr. Macrea opposed for a Mr. Evans. Mr. Cooke, Mr. Dowse, and Mr. Sargood supported. The case on the present occasion occupied several hours. Two points were urged in opposition—namely, that the arrest was friendly, and that the petition should be dismissed; and, secondly, if the petition was sus tained, there should be an adverse judgment, for con tracting debts without reasonable or probable expecta tion of payment. It appeared that the insolvent, who is now only 22, obtained his lieutenancy in the course of last year. His pay was 1041. a year, which was not sufficient for his mess expenses. His debts were about 2,500/.. arising (with the exception of one) on bill transactions, and he ascribed his insolvency to the facilities of getting money on the discount of bills. Whilst be was stationed with his regiment in Dublin, he received circulars from " agents" of money lenders, offering him accommodation. A person named Schwabacca was one, who had introduced him to some of the opposing creditors; and another, named O'Grady, had raised him money from Mr. Evans. Of the nine creditors on the schedule, six resided in Dublin; one in Derbyshire, who had arrested him; one in Limerick (Mr. Evans), and one in London. The insolvent said that officers in the army received circulars every month from money lenders or their agents, offering them advances. He had been charged from 60 per cent. for the advances, Mr. Salomons, a jeweller in Dublin, who opposed, held bills for 2791 178. O d., and the money obtained was only 170/. Tae bills had been renewed, and on each occasion he was charged large sums. Mr. Lazarus was a creditor for 1531. 10s., the discount of bills, and all he given was 911. 16s. 9d. Mr. Harris was a creditor on bills to 8051.158., and he had advanced 5501., the remainder being discount and charges on renewals. Mr. Evans was a creditor for 2251., and the advances were 1801. The insolvent's father, who resides at Winkfield Park, Derbyshire, had made him an allow ance when he entered the army, but discontinued it, as his son sent back a 101. note he had forwarded for his expenses. Recently his father had paid 3301. to trades men for his son, but refused to pay what he termed " Jew debts." An offer of ss. in the pound had, how ever, been made, and refused. Qn the first point of the opposition it appeared that the insolvent was arrested in London, at the suit of Mr. Hodgkinaon, a friend of the family, who had advanced 6501 towards the purchase of the lieutenancy, because the father had refused to make the advance. The insol vent was arrested against his wish by an arrangement with the town solicitors of the family. On the second ground of complaint it appeared that the insolvent had spent the money he had raised, and that he expected to raise 1,0001. by an exchange into a regiment going to India, by which he could have paid, with an expected assistance from his father, his creditors He had applied to the Horse Guards for permission to make the ex change, and had been refused. Mr. Nichols, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. Macrae addressed the Court, contending that the petition should be dis missed, or a judgment pronounced, for improperly con tracting debts. It was a case of great extravagance, and it was not because the creditors had charged some 40 per cent., that they were to be denied the protection of the Court. Mr. COOKE, in his address to the Court, complained of the conduct of the opposing creditors. It was to them or to their agent that the ruin of the young gentleman was to be attributed. They had tempted him with money, charging him most usurious terms ; they had pandered to him, and forced money upon him, looking to his father for payment ; and now they came to this court asking for its protection by way of judgment. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER gave judgment. C 3908 like the present were connected with circumstances which were to be deplored. This was the case of a young man just bursting into life, plunged into debt, and an applicant for his discharge. It was the lamentable facilities given to young men at the Universities and in the army that had occasioned the fall of many, but he did not remember to have heard in other cases of an " agent" between the parties seeking out the young men to lend them money. He (the Chief Commissioner), after the evidence given, could not be lieve that the arrest was a friendly one, and as the peti tion was to be sustained, the question was, what case had been proved against the insolvent? Which of the five creditors was entitled to the protection of the Court? There was not one among them who had not contributed to or occasioned his downfall. It was clear the young man had been sought out—that money had been ad vanced in the manner described; and, in his opinion, it was not a case in which they had a claim on the Court for its protection. His Honour, after saying that he did not think he was acting contrary to the spirit of the Act in ordering the insolvent to be discharged, declared that he was entitled to the benefit of the Act, and or dered him to be discharged forthwith. Some applause followed, which was instantly checked. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Three men were brought up, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, upon an odd sort of charge. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, soli citors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Felonies and Frauds, appeared before Sir R. W. Carden upon the occasion, and said,—The three men now be fore the Bench are not charged with having committed or contemplated any offence, but the circumstances under which they appear here are calculated to excite surprise, and it is necessary that I should state them in order to show the danger to which men may expose themselves by carrying a joke too far. One of these men presented a bill of exchange, purporting to be for 250/. 17s. 3e1., for payment at the counter of Messrs. Barclay and Co., in Lembard-street. The clerk at once saw, from the mass of absurdities upon the face of the bill, the original amount of 141. 17s. 3d. having been roughly altered into 2501. 17*. 3d., and other appear ances not less ridiculous abounding in the bit of paper, that the person who presented it was hoaxed. Upon inquiry, it was ascertained that Mr. Patrick, who had presented the bill, had, in the presence of Fisher and Ricketts, who stood with him be fore the alderman, been expressing a wish that good fortune would come in upon him in the shape of a sum of money, to enable him to purchase a good biscuit business, and that one of the latter produced an old bill of exchange of the date of 1846, for 141. 17s. 3d., which the other altered into the larger amount, and handed over to the grateful borrower, clapping at the same time the name of Barclay% firm upon the back of the useless paper. Although there is not the slightest suspicion that any one of the persons who figured in this strange matter had any dishonest intention, it was considered necessary to direct Daniel Forrester, upon whose pr donee and experience reliance could be placed, to make the necessary inquiries, and it was by him ascertained that the parties are respectable, and that nothing more than a joke had been contemplated. The two persons to whom blame was to a certain ex tent attributable declared that they never entertained a thought that the matter would have occasioned more than a momentary merriment, and that the presentation of an old ballad would be just as likely to produce any serious consequences. e rd ibefore been e him i m As given, h i had t not wse, Sir R. W.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Hall, alias Webb, was brought up for further examination, charged with having passed several furged 51. notes. The prisoner was fully committed, but ordered to be brought up again in a week, as it was suspected there were other charges of a similar character. Mr. Chapman, one of the committee of the Servants' Home, in Rose-street, an institution for the purpose of providing shelter and protection to young women when nut of a situation, brought two young girls into court for the purpose of applying to Mr. Hardwick, the sitting magistrate, on a matter which had just come to the knowledge of the committee, and which was of so serious a character that it had been immediately resolved to lay the circumstances before a magistrate. A modest-looking girl came forward and said she had been invited by another girl, an inmate of the same institution, about three weeks ago, to take a walk, and had been taken by that girl to a house in Port land-road, where she had been introduced to a person who had attempted to commit a capital offence, but the attempt had been frustrated owing to her cries and resistance. She did not state what had happened, but on discovering that the same girl had induced ano ther of the inmates to promise to accompany her to the same gentleman's house in the Portland-road, she made a communication to the matron, who at once informed the committee of what had been stated. As there ap peared to be a strong presumption that a system of en trapping young girls for immoral purposes could be es tablished, the committee determined on taking magiste rial advice on the case. Mr. Ilennwecte, having questioned the girl, immedi ately directed a warrant to be issued against a person who had assaulted the complainant, and yesterday Mr. Richard Amble, surgeon, of No. 1, Portland-road, was brought in custody to this court, and placed before Mr. Bingham. Mary Ann Newberry was then sworn. She said,--I am Beady 18 years of age. I am at present staying in a charitable institution, No. 9, Rose street. One of the girls, Harriet Berrington, a clergyman's daughter, asked me to take a walk about three weeks ago, I we her, and she took me to a house, No. 1, Portland -road. with oad. I stayed in the kitchen, and Harriet Berrington went up stairs. She remained so long th a t I sent he the bet vau t up She to say I could not wait any lo nger . came down, accompanied by . the defendant, whom I had never seen before. I was asked to go up stairs. I went into the drawing-room, and the defendant w, did ? I said, ' ° ll , Very asked me how I The defendant went into a bed- room withe Harriet Berrington. but came out in a few minutes and locked her in the bed-room. The defendant then locked the drawing room door, and a s h ort time afterwards he too k me by the shoulders, and dragged me down on the floor. and attempted further violence, but I kept screaming loudly, and resistin g him. I heard the girl Berrington k i n kin g at the door w hil e I was screaming. In cocsequence 01 my screaming the defendant desisted, and I got up and immediately left the house. Mr. BINGHAM asked if the house in Portland-road was a house of ill-fame? Mr. Chapman said it was a private house, where the defendant eatrried on business H kiatpon, Mr. BINGHAM asked if them was any other case? Mr. Chapman bbiti to,re `vas :lo other ca6e. The ocher girl had only been asked by Berrington to go to the de fendant's houie, but ••be had been stopped from going. The complainant said 13errington had told her the de fendant had p;;Teunded her to bring is many young girls to him fV , she could. . _ Mr. BINGHAM—WeII, I am ready to hear the defen dant's answer. Defendant—l em perfmly innocent of the charge. I had no felonious intention. Miss Berrington's father, a clergyman, lived in my house, and I was very kind both to father and daughter; in fact, I almost supported both of ahem. Thi- daughter sometimes called upon me, and once when she called she told me she was staying in a place of refuge near Soho-quare. The last time she called she brought a young girl with her. That girl had been three or lour tunes to my house before, and had taken wine with me. Instead of screaming out, as she says, she did nothing but tatigh and giggle; end if I had any such intention as she has staled, I might have succeeded without any difficulty; but I had no such intention. The girl Newberry was recalled. Mr. 13 INGHAM—Have you been three or four times to the defendant's huuse, and ha►e you had wiue with him, as he has stated? Mary Ann Newberry—l went with Berrington once before, but the defendant was not at home. I only saw the defendant on the last occasion, and it was then he offered us wine, and I drank some. Mr. BINGHAM—The Rev. Mr. Berrington is well known at this court, and, if I mistake not, has stood more than once at that bar. The defendant said his knowledge of Berrington and his daughter was hut slight. Mr. BINGHAM (addressing Mr. Chapman) —Have you reason to think tne girl Berrington was in the habit of taking other girls to the d4endant's house? Mr. Chap man—lcannot say for certain. Defendant—l am a highly respectable man. Mr. Brlicue.st (to Mr. Chapman)—lf you think there is no chance of any further charges of this sort against the defendant—that of inveigling or inducing girls from your institution to come to this house, I am of opinion this case ought to be sent to the sessions; but, if you in sist upon it, lam ready to dispose of it here. But, if you have any notion that other girls have been taken to the defendant's house, I think it ought to go to the quarter-sessions. Mr. Chapman—l cannot say there have been other girls taken there. I understand Bet , - rington stated to the matron that the defendant induced her to take other girls to his house. Defendant—l deny that. The girl Newberry has been at my house three or four times. She e ore three .rich a felonious intent, and that I might do whet I pleased wito her. I certainly kissed her, and unpinned her shawl, but that was ull. There were persons in the house at the time, who must have heard her sere,ms, if she had made any noise, but I was taken in the street quite unprepared, and brought to this court. . Mr. BINGHAM—If you have been taken unprepared, and if you think you suffer injustice on that acccount, I will give you an opportunity of being prepared by re manding the case. Defendant—l can produce evidence to show she has been several times at my house. Mr. BINGIIAM—You are entitled to have the case adjourned to prepare yoursf.lf—is that what you want? Defendant (hesitating)—lf you think it is requisite. Mr. BINGHAM —That is your affAir, riot mine. You say you are taken unawares and unprepared; it is for you, not me, to elect whether you will have the case ad journed. Do you want time to prepare your defence? Defendant—Why, if you don't think me perfectly in nocent of Mr. BINGUAM—I'II stop the sentencs there. Ido not think you aro perfectly innocent, and therefore I'll give you until to-morrow to produce your witnesses. In the meantime I should recommend you, Mr. Chapman, to inform yourseil Wittier about the proceedings of the girl Berrington. The defendant was ultimately ordered to enter into his own rect gnizances in 2001 to appear the next day. RAILWAY sEIARE MARKETS BRIsT.)L, APRIL 21.
