Little Charley .•• Buscot ... ••• ~, 1 •I• 2 ... 3 HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) nawxrcs' arvoßcE. Their Lordships sat this afternoon at two o'clock, far the purpose of hearing evidence in support of this Bill. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Strangford, and Lord Truro. Mr. TALBOT (with whom was Mr. Macqueen) stated the case. The petitioner was Septimns Moore' Hawkins, a lieu tenant in her Majesty's 97th Foot , who was married , Sept. 4 , 1845 to Harriet Lavinia Dennie, daughter of the late Lieu tenant-Colonel Dennie, of the 13th Regiment, killed at Jel lalabad. They lived together, as man and wife, on the most affectionate terms, Mrs. ILiwkins accompanying her hus band to Corfu. and Malta, where he was called by his mili tary duties In 1848 they returned to England, and after a short stay near Colchester took up their residence at Shide, in the Isle of Wight, to be near the derk of the 97th Regiment, at Newport. While living here they formed an acquaintance with Lord Malden, then one of the officers of the Rifle Brigade quartered at Park hurst Barracks. On the 10th May, 1850, Lieut. Hawkins sailed for North America, in charge of a detachment of troops, and joined the head- quar t ers o f hi s reg i ment at Frederickston, New Brunswick, leaving; his wife behind him, in consequence of her delicate state of health. At this time two children had been born to them, a son born at Corfu:in 1815, who subsequently died at Malta, and, a girl born in 1818 at Carisbrook, still living. Here he remained until Mcrch, 1851, when he returned to England, arriving at Liverpool on the 23d of March, and joining his wife ou the 25th, when cohabita tion was resumed between the - .. Taey lived together at Bouchurch in the Isle of Wight, until the 3rd of June, two months after his return, when. to the utter surprise of every body, Mrs. Hawkins gave birth to a f all-grown child. From that moment all intercourse was broken off, and during the inquiries which the petitioner had been led to make he as certained that in his absence communication had taken place between his wife and Viscount Malden under the circum stances which would be offered in evidence. An action for crim. con. was then brought by the petitioner against Lord Malden in the Court of Queen's Bench, and a verdict for 500/. damages :eturned, and on the 10th of February of the present year, a divorce had been prcatounced by the Consis tory Court of London. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call witnesses. _ . Mr. Welthrop proved the service of the usual notices, and a copy of the fill on Mrs. Hawkins. • Captain Foreman, examined by Mr. TaLsoT—Knew both Lieut. Hawkins and Miss Dennie, and was present at their marriage at Cariabrook, in the Isle of Wight, on the 4th of :September, 1545. Contibued to visit them after their mar riage, and they always:appeared to himito live on the happiest and most affectionate terms with each other. Dr. Martin, examined by Mr. MAcQuEEN-1 have known Mr. and M 73. Hawkins for some years. They always ap peared to me to be most attached to each other. It was on my advice that Lieutenant Hawkins left his wife behind him when he went to America. She had incipient disease of the chest, and I considered it necessary for her to reside in a mild climate. The pa}-sergeant of the de! Ut of the 97th Regiment, at Newport, WAS next called :nal examined by Mr. TALzoT —I remember Lieutenant ilawkius taking out a detachment of the regiment to North America. It was on the IGth May, 1853. I saw him embark ott ho,ird the transport with the detachmeut. John Flynn, private of the 97th Regiment, examined by Mr. DIACQUEEN-4 was servant to Lieutenant Hawkins at Malta. 1 afterwards sailed to North America with the regi ment, and I remember him joining the regiment at Fredri,nc ton in July, 1350. I becAme serv,illt then, and after wards sailed with him to England, when, we arrived on the 23d of March, I f sl. 1 saw him every day between those dates. Dirs. darn:ins was not with ?aim. John Greg pry Gurney, clerk in the Vr ar-oflic, - produced the monthly returns. from the 97th Foot, on foreign ser vice, in which Lieutenant Hawkins appeared as present with the regiment, from July 3,1650, to March 12, 1851. John Hall proved the presence, in London, of Mrs. Haw kins, during the months of June, July, and part of August, 1851. Hsrriet Guy proved her vresence in the Isle of Wight up to the latter end of September. Nathan Gore, examined by Mr. Ta Luor am a waiter at Cox's Hotel. In the month of September I remember Mrs. Hawkins at Cox's Hotel. She had a bed-room and a draw ing-room on the first floor, and her maid and child had apartments on the floor above, quite unconnected with her owe. Se arrived about six o'clock, and gave me a note addressed to Lord Malden, Corer-street. I sent it by the porter. Lord Malden arrived very soon af&er. Ile asked fur Mrs. HMS, kins, and I showed hire up to her. I then took up the tea, and left them together. It was then about half-past six, and getting dusk. About nine o'clock I saw Lord Alalden go out of the hotel. I then went up stairs. Mrs. Hawkins was not in the drawing-room, but she might hava been in the bed-room, which communicated with it. The candle had not been lighted, amid the tea was untouched. It was then quite dark. By Lord BnoucHam—lt was between six and seven when Lord Malden arrived, and about five minutes afterwards I took up the tea. -- - Mrs. Ribbons, examined by Mr. TA LEOT —I am au hotel keeper at Bonchurch. Mrs. Hawkins lived at my hotel from December, 1850, to March, 1851. During that time I had no suspicion of her being pregnant. I r emar k e d that she was getting stout, b u t I had no idea of the cause. On the 26th March Lieutenant Hawkins returned from America; they continued to live with me after that time. I remember the 3d of June. In the middle of the night I was was awoke by hearicg Mrs. Tian. kills' bell rung violently. I went down stairs and met Mr. Hawkins, who said he had sent for a physician. I went in to Mrs. Hawkins, who said she was sorry to diturb me, but all she wanted was that I should prepare a separate room for Mr. Hawkins. I went up stalls to do so, and was called down again by the screams of Mrs. Hawkins, and I went into her room again. She appeared to be in great pain, and in a short time she gave birth to a child in my presence. At her desire I gave some idea to Mr. I law king of what had happened. He received the intimation with an appearance of mingled conternation, surprise, and anger. The same day lie packed up his clothes and left;iny house, and never returned. Mrs. A,awkins remained there three weeks after. (THIS EVENIN G.) HOUSE OF LORDS: - The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo: sack a:, Five o'clock. By Lord BROUGHAM—Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins slept in the same room after he returned from America. There was only one bed in it, and as far as I know they slept together. I never had the least suspicion of her pregnancy. Mr. Fowke, examined by Mr. MacQuEEN—I am a surgeon in the Isle of Wight. On the 3d June, 1 . 51, I was called in to attend Mrs. Hawkins. She was in bed. She had just been delivered of a child. I performed the usual surgical duties on that occasion. The chill was a full-grownht s child her Mr. Martin, also a surgeon of the Isle of ryig very sho r tl y a f ter she hail been delivered of achild. In w my opinion the child was a full-grown child of nine months. I met Mr. Hawkins two or three times in the course of the mo rning, his manner betokening utter surprise. The Rev, Mr. White, examined by Mr. TALEOT—I am a clergyman in the Isle of Wight. I knew both Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, and saw them almost every day after his return from America. attached himt the day befo re M rs. to each other, and he They ea a, veryappprerod veryud ofri mucher.

Mr. Hawkins himself told me most distressed and surprised. what had happened; he seemed Evidence was then put iu as to the trial in the Court of Queen's Bench and the payment of the 'OW. damages. Mr. TALn.yr said that he regretted n o t a being able to maid dace two most material witnesse., Mr the brother of Mr. Hawkins, both of 83:fh lawkius's ii .a u . , by serious illness, by whose testimony h am were kept away i to prove the fact of non-access ,till more -hoped to a n d 3 ' a ticularly. distinctly and par- Lord BRouciliAlt said that such additional evidence was certainly necessary, as at present the evidence of that fact was not sufficiently clear and precise.

This was an action to recover the sum of 261. 163. 61 for goods sold. Defendant allowed judgment to go by default. Plaintiff's Attorney said that the defendant had given a bill of exchange for 151. in part payment, and as to that there could be no doubt, and he should call the plaintiff to prove that he sent the other goods by railway. Plaintiff produced his entry-book, and proved that be had left the goods at the railway station, and produced a receipt. The Learned SECONDARY held that this was sufficient where there was no defence, otherwise it would have been necessary to prove the delivery by the railway company. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. THE LONDON GAZET FE. (THIS EVENING.) LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, APRIL 2.

IMPERIAL PAR,LIAMENT. The Mutiny Bill and the Marino Mutiny Bill were read a first time. AFFAIRS OF INDIA. The Earl of DERBY rose to move, pursuant to notice for a Select Committee to Inquire into the operation of 3 and 4 Wm. IV., cap. 85, for the better government of her Majesty's Indian territories, and to report their observations thereon. The object of this Committee was to inquire into the expediency of what was called, in common parlance, the East India Company's Charter. He said in common parlance, because in fact.the East India Company had at present no Charter at all in ex isteece. They were essentially a commercial company, and up to 1833 had possessed the right of trading to India and China; by that Act political powers were given to them in exchange for their trading privileges, and if, at the present time, Parliament should resolve to continue those political powers the trading privileges would remain in abeyance, while if, on the contrary, they took away the privilegea, their trading powers would again revive. He did not mean to go through the history of the great:company, or trace the steps by which it had raised itself by its wise councils, negotia tions, and arm, from the position of a small trading company to that el the ruler over a tract of country comprising 28 degrees of latitude, from Cape Comorin to the borders of Thibet, Cashmere, Csbul, and Affghanistan, containing a population of 150,000,000 of various races and descent, and of the meet conflicting prejudices and religions. Little by little every native throne had dwindled and crumbled away before the company. until at laet, with out conquest, and t n the co n tr ar y, rat h er contrary to our wish, the population of tho native monarchies had forced th e rn3elses under our protection rather than place them e jives under our dominion. The subject which they had under their coesideration now was of the utmost,impor- Tee to investigate the machinery by ',fetch the this great country were to be conducted. affairst an ce , i of f . through the historie s o f th e diff erent charters, Atter going c ha nges expected by them, the Noble contrast the different powers exer cised Lor d proceeded to . of Proprietors, the Court of Directors, by the Court and the Court of Directors beyoed those of electing the and the Board of Control.

(LEFT SPEAKING.) "--- / ' ON, Mr. WILSON PATTEN resisted it, and declared that the motion ought to have been made last year, before the subject was referred to the consideration of a Select Committee. This motion, in fact, came too late, and he, therefore, hoped the House would not con sent to upset all that had yet been done in this matter by the Committee of Selection and other Committees. It was, howeve , r, for the House to decide whether they took a diffaent view to the Committee of Selection, and if the Noble Lord persevered with the motion, he should certainly divide upon it. Lord SEYMOUR was also of opinion that the motion was intended to re-open a question which was settled last year and he should therefore oppose it. Mr. MO WATT said, all the Committee did last year was to report against the Government scheme, and as it broke up before it had closed its labours, owing to the termination of the session, he was at a loss to under stand why the motion should be opposed. The motion, in his opinion, was a perfectly reasonable proposition, and until ho heard some stronger reasons against it than had yet ben urged he should give it his support. Mr. E. DENISON opposed the, motion, and de • Oared that the House would be guilty of an act of great injustice if they agreed to it. Lord J. MANNERS hoped the resolution would not be persevered with, and then the House would have a chance of receiving an excellent and conclusive report upon this water question before the close of the session. After a few words from Viscount EBRINGTON the motion was negatived without a division. PETITIONS. Sir J. HOPE presented a petition against the May nooth grant. Sir It. 11.

EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. HUNiE gave notice, that in the event of Mr. Spooner':! motion againt the continuance of the May nooth ger.nt being carrind, he would move for a return of the moneys pout out of the Consolidated Fund for the educstiren cl nil religious sects in Ireland, and also the income of the Established Church in that country since 1850, and the number of persons belonging to it. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. In answer to a question by Mr. MOORE, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would fix the Charitable Trusts Bill for the first day on which Parlia ment would re-assemble after the holidays. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Mr. REYNOLDS inquired of the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intended to niflice his financial statement. His reason for asking the question was, that the great majority of the Irish Members were not likely to be in attendance until four or five days after the House re -assembled after E:ster. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was his intention, as soon as possible, to make that financial statement, and when the Howe met again he should probably ba able to fix a day; but he would take care that fair notice was given to the Members for Ire land, in order that they might be present on the occa sion.—(, laugh.) THE MILITIA BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL asked the Secretary for the Home Department when the Militia Bill would be delivered to Members, and wh©n the Government intended to proceed with the second reading? Mr. WALPOLE said ho had brought down the Bill, and ho proposed to read it a first time to-night, and to appoint the second reading for the 19tb, the first day after the recess. SUPPLY. In reply to another question from the NOBLE D.'RD, The CHANCELLOR o f t h e EXCHEQUER raid ho proposed at present to go into Committee of Sup ply on Monday next, when he would move the vote for the Kafir war. Ills Right Hon. Friend had stated that on the 19th, the day of meeting, they proposed to take the second reading of the Militia Bill.—(Cheers and Hear.) They did that for the purpose of facilitating public business, but when they attempted to facilitate public business they always met with opposition. AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN ifAVAN. Sir W. YOUNG read a threatening letter, which had been received by a person in the County of Cavan, signed " Moliy Macguire," and inquired whether the Govern ment had received any information from the police of such threatening notices being served on parties, and also of the spread of the ribbon system in Cavan? Mr. NAPIER said he hod made inquiry into the mat ter, and he found that information was received every day from Ireland, but it was not forwarded to him ex cept there w-s some special matter which required his attention. He had no doubt a system of threatening was spreading widely in Irel an d, and that there was a determination to establish a reign of terror in the country, 60 as to intercept the rights of property; but the attention of the Government was directed to the subject, and there were no resources at their command which they would not speedily use to put an end to such a state of thin gs. — (Cheers.) OFFICIAL SALARIES. Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that on Monday he should ask if the re commendation of the Salaries Committee had ken carried out in reference to the Chief Secretary for Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could answer the question now. All the recommendations bad been carried out, and particularly in reference to the in stance to which the Hon. Member referred. COINAGE. Mr. EWART wished to inquire of the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether there was a prospect of the coin called the florin (of 23. value) being re-issued, espe cially as a means of approximating to a decimal system of coinage? The . CHIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said her Majesty had approved of the new florin, and an Order in Council for its coinage was agreed to on the 4th ultimo, and it was hoped that in about two months 200,000 florins would be ready for issue to the public. ORKNEYS. Mr. ANDERSON asked the Secretary of the Trea sury why a return relative to the management of the Crown estate in Orkney (ordered by a resolution of the House on the 31st of July last year) bad not yet been made, and when it would be presented. Mr. HAMILTON apologised for the delay which had Olken place in making the return, but it was of a com plicated and expensive character, and would take some little time longer to prepare it. RAMSGATEIHARBOUR. "T) 2 7 Sir GEORGE PECHELL wished to ask the Hon.

On the motion that tho House at its rising do adjourn till Monday, Mr. C01:113EN rose and said he wished to make en explanation to the House on a subject of a rather :personal character. Ho had received a letter from Lord Derby complaining of a statement which he (Mr. Cobden) made the other night when the ballot was under discussion, to the effect that in 183.5 the Noble Lord declared that if the ballot should by carried he, as ,a landlord, should not be satisfied unless he saw his tenant put his but the N o ble , Lord said th ticket into the box attheelection The statement was taken from liaraar d Mir ror o f Parliament contained a more authentic re p or t which he made in the House in 1835, and thoe speec h on referring to theatepLuborlid y said was earteioanil,he(Mr.o "that obden) found that what the Noble servants place who w o uld "t if the ballot were carr i ed besatisfied unless they saw their 1 there might be some landlord s whose existence at so remote a believi ng t h e Mi r ror, of the ticket in the ballot-box," and than a L h o r li d v called d, his he attention to it, to be more accurate date he was ignorant until th begg e d t which he made the other night --( Cheers)—and aleo the strictures which he e N ob i It would felt called upon to found upon it.—(Cheers.) to withdraw the statemen t appear th at when t h e Noble Lord made he had the speech reported i n the Mirror, i not himself b at some i mag i nar y l a ndlord v i e w n and, th ere f ore, in withdrawing the strictures which e passed th e other night upon the Noble Lord, he wishe d h _ it to b e uneerstood that he did so for the purpose of transfering them from the Noble Lord to the imaginary landlords which the Noble Lord had in his mind's aYP, when h e made the speech i n 1835.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said then he would fix it for Friday, the 23.1 of April. VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Mr. NV YLD wished to ask the Hon. Baronet the Member for the University and Chairman of the Ven tilation Committee if the committee had received a report from Mr. Gurney on the subject of ventilating the House, and whether anything would be done dur ing the recess to improve thestate of the House P—(Hear.) Sir R. H. INGLIS said the Hon. Member had made an extraordinary mistake. He was not a member of the Committee, let alone th e chairman.— (Laughter.) Lord PALVERSTON said he was on the Committee, and he would take care that the question was communi cated to the Chairman.—(Hear, hear.) THE DISSOLUTION , Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was highly desirable that the business of the House should be expedited in the present state of affairs, but he could have no ob jection to the postponement of the Militia Bill, though when it was read a second time he hoped it would be pressed forward as hastily as possible. (Hear, hear.) Ho was averse because he telt the inconvenience of such a course of referring to conversations which had passed elsewhere, but the House must be aware that ou a former oc casion he induced his friends to throw no otsatacles in the way of voting the supplies, upon the understanding that when the pressing business of the country Ma jest y 's present Ministers would advise an immediat e di sso l u ti on .

At for an y Government pledging themselves to recommend a °issclluti " of Par. liamout at a specific period, he was sure that no person or Member who had ever been a servant of her Majesty would apt rove of such a course. It WAS impossible to s a y t h e particular hour, day, or week, or even month, at which they would pledge thernselvea to reconansed a dissolution.—(Hear.) Cir cum:tauces, as he had said before, might render it im p ol itic if not impossible tho fulfilment of such an undertakinse All he said was that after the business which they declared absolutely necessary and indispensible had been terminated, they should humbly recommend her Majesty to dissolve the present P arliament —(Cheers from the Govern ment beech s)—and to he wished ;no misconcep tion to exist on the subject, he should add with the full intention of recommending her Majesty to snanten the new Parliament during the present year. —(Hear, hear.)

H e now only repeated what he had previously attempted to convey to the House, and what ho was sure was the intention of the First Minister to communicate in another glace. These were the decisions and intentions they always had; and after the declarations which were made, he should not have thought it was necessary to repeat them again to the House.—(Loud Ministerial cheers.) Mr. HUME thought the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman would be satisfactory to all parties, and suggested, in order that no further doubt might bo entertained, that he would state what were the measures the Government deemed necessary.—(Hear.)
