OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Jeremiah Began, Honora Began, and Mary Sheen, wore indicted for unlawfully assaulting and maliciously wound ing Thomas Sheen. The prisoners were defended by Mr. Cooper. From the evidence it appeared that tho last named pri soner was the wife of the prosocutrix, and daughter of the other prisoners. The parties lived in Denham-yard, Drury-lane, and the assault took place on the Bth of May. Shortly before five o'clock on the morning of that day a violent disturbance took place, and on the police going to ascertain the cause they found the prosecutrix lying in the passage, and the prisoner Sheen standing over her with a flat iron in her hand, and Honora Regan with part of an iron pot in her possession. Sheen was bleeding from a number of wounds on his head, and he was in such an exhausted condition that lie was at once taken to King's College Hospital, whore he remained for some time, his life bring despaired of. The prisoners were taken to the station house, where the male prisoner Regan said all he did to Sheen was in self-defence, and pointed to a severe wound on his head. Oa the recovery of Sheen he stated that he went to Denham-yard to 1330 his wife, when the male prisoner seized him by the throat, and told him he would settle accounts with him. The pro secutor made some obsexvation about his wife, who was lying intoxicated at the foot of the bed, when Regan seized him by the throat and thrust him out of the house. He went up to the door again, when the three pri soners attacked him, and committed the injuries on him which led to his being taken to the hospital. The prisoner Sheen said her husband accused her of stealing his money, and ordered her out of his place. She wont to her father's, where the prosecutor followed her. When her husband came he took her by the hair and pulled her out of bed, and a quarrel ensued between the whole lot. Prosecutor took up an iron pot and struck her father with it, and hit her mother very violently. The flat iron which she had in her hand her father took from the prosecutor, otherwise her mother - would have been killed. The prosecutor had been summoned for ill treating her, but her father had prevented her appearing against him. "' ' • — The jury found the female prisoners guilty, and acquit ted Jeremiah Regan. The Recorder said he thought it would be best for him to refrain from passing sentence on the two females, pro vided the husbands would enter into sureties for their good behaviour, and also for their coming up for judgment when required. If they for the future lived like Christian people, they would hear nothing of the matter, but, if not, they would bo brought up for sentence and severely punished. THE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE LEEDS BANK. The grand jury have returned three true bills for felony and one for misdemeanour against Thomas Edgeley. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Edward Price and John Sidley, who were convicted last session for a burglary in the dwelling house of Byatt West, were brought up for sentence. It will be recollected that the prisoners formed part of the Brixton gang, who had committed so many depreda tions in that neighbourhood. They were remanded last session, in order that their characters might be inquired into. A former conviction was proved against Sidley. The Common Sergeant sentenced Price to five years' and Sidley to seven years' penal servitude. William Smithers was indicted for feloniously receiving from certain evil-di&posed persons three £lO Bank of Eng land notes, three £5-notes, and nine postage stamps, the property of Netterville Barrow, and a purse and an Ame rican 10 cent note, the property of Joel Edwards, well knowing them to have been stolen. The property was stolen from the two gentlemen during their visit to the Italian Opera. The jury found Lim guilty, and the Common Sergeant sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. MUSIC-HALLS AGAIN.-Mr. Humphries (Humphries and Morgan) solicitor, applied to Mr. Vaughan for a summons against Messrs. Holland and Sweasy, of Weston's Music hall, High Holborn, for performing selections from Barnett's opera of the "Mountain Sylph," without a theatrical license. Mr. John Hollingshead, hon. secretary of the Theatrical Law Amendment Society, proved that selections were given from the opera in question, with dramatic action, costume, and scenery, and programmes of the cast of cha racters sold in the hall. He paid for admission. It was stated that the proceedings were not taken in any hostile spirit, and Mr. Sweasy and Holland had been duly informed of them. The object was to ascertain the law and thus facilitate a settlement of the question, so as to, avoid future litigation. Mr. Vaughan granted the summons. Messrs. Holland and Sweasy were not represented. 7 8 6 7 41S 435 4 20 22 5 6 3 34 2 3 9 10 31 31 4 5 17 19 ITe 18j 10 32 31 7 9 3} 'a 21 12 35 45 11 13 31 4 2* 21 26 28 310 330 f ti 34 44 32 14 9 11 68 70 130 140 65 70 23 25 11 13 .05 115 10 12 Blugneoe done. 26 1 I I i 41 34 18 1 8 541 3 1 171 17 I 31 1 121 13; 4651 1211 1 1 1141 g 131 14 100 e i 6 41 IT SECURITIES. 98 100 94 97 95 98 85 E 7 84 . 86 104 106 105 107 104 10d 102 101 H ?3 101 103 105 !k7 102 104 163 105 103 106 105 107 98 ICO 96 98 91 93 87 68 101 102 81 85 96 98 91 P 3 104 106 1051 10th, MEN 891 19 9 :1 I 104 41 1 104 i s 101 ,071 9 1 00i 11 931 THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1867. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TRAINING A CHILD TO BEG.—Mary Mangy and Mary Raney, mother and daughter, the latter about nine years of age, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Marquis Townshend with begging. The Marquis Townsl;end said—A little before twelve o'clock last night I saw this woman and child begging of every person they mot in Piccadilly. I saw the woman go into a public-house and drink some beer, and on coming out she asked him for money. Knowing the woman 1o be in the habit of going about begging, and to be of intem perate habits, I gave the child some money, so that I might charge her with receiving money, with the view of having her taken from her mother, and sent to some place where she might be taken care of. The Woman—l was waiting in Piccadilly for some one promised me work, and feeling faint I went into the public house for half a pint of beer, and my child asking me for some bread, and having only a halfpenny, I asked the Marquis. The Marquis—Her story is not true, as I saw her ask five persons before she asked me. Mr. Tyrwhitt —I shall send the woman for ten days, and the child, after receiving some food, can be taken to the workhouse for a week that it may bo seen what can be done for her.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A WOMAN AT DULIVICIL—An inquest was held to-day, at Camberwell Workhonse on the body of Mary Ann Payne, who, it was alleged, had been murdered by her husband. The parties lived at Lordship-lane, Dulwich, and the evidence went to show that the deceased and a man named Tow had frequently quarrelled.. On the last occasion, however, he struck her a violent blow with a pair of tongs, after which she took to her bed and eventually died. The medical evidence went to show that deceased was suffering from low fever, but the blow she had received might have accelerated death. A verdiot of manslaughter was returned against Richard Tow. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. LAW INTELLIGENOE—This Day. HOUSE OF LORDS. THE YELVERTON CASE. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Colonsay took their seats shortly before 11 o'clock. Lord Westbury was absent. A vast number of people clamoured for admission, principally ladies, and the police had great difficulty to resist their claims. They did their work, how ever, with great good humour, and the majority of the ladies werd obliged to be satisfied with remaining outside. Mrs. Yelverton (Longworth) appeared at the bar with a large mass of papers, and sail that her strength hardly permitted her to speak, having been seriously unwell, but sho would do the best she could under the circumstances. Mrs. Yelverton—l can go on, but I cannot com plete my case to-day. The Lord Chancellor—That is hardly keeping faith with us. You know we have shown you some indulgence. It is not fair to the other side that the proceedings should be unduly extended, and I am afraid we must ask you to conclude to-day. Mr. Anderson, Q.C.—We have no objection to Mr. Campbell Smith being heard in reply on behalf of the appellant, if your lordships think fit. After a consultation between their lordships, The Lord Chancellor said that if the appellant felt unable to go on, they would allow her counsel to reply for her, as this was an exceptional case. If, however, she began her case she must finish it. They could not allow her to begin her case, and her counsel to take it up at any particular point. It must be one thing or tho other, and she must take her choice. Mrs. Yelverton—l presume my counsel may in struct me? The Lord Chancellor—Oh yes, certainly; to any extent you like. Mrs. Yelverton said she would elect, under the circumstances, to proceed with her own case, and proceeded to address their lordships. She began by stating that she had the greatest possible con fidence in their lordships, and she felt sure that the noble lord (Colonsay) would thoroughly interpret to them the principles of Scottish law. She then referred to some legal judgments which appeared to bear on her case ; but between her own notes and those of her counsel she seemed to lose her usual self-possession, and to drop altogether the thread of her argument * Mr. Smith, her counsel, occasionally stood up behind her and directed her attention to the points which he thought advisable to press, but this course seemed to confuse her, and she evidently made little way. Mr. Anderson, Major Yelverton's counsel, kindly sent for some books and papers to which she made reference and helped her in finding out her authori ties. Selecting some of Mr. Anderson's legal argu ments she disputed the accuracy of his conclusions, and calling his authorities into question (Lord Colonsay took very careful notes of all these points). He contended that Mr. Anderson.'s statements with regard to the proposed oath of reference were not borne out by the history of the cases in which it had been admitted, and that there was no fear in the present case of the oath of reference leading to the flood of litigation of which he had ex pressed so much alarm. In the next place she contended, arguing from parallel cases, that her minute of reference having been given before the judgment of the House of Lords was ap swehh as i en M i r t a . e A I f n Anderson s n o t e i t h i a n d te u r r f g e r e e d that d , the h t h e e oCourt bje et i o e n f s were of no avail. The Lord Chancellor said that was not exactly so. It appeared from her own case that the judg ment was applied on the 10th of that month. It was received and boxed on that day. Mrs. Yelverton—lt was tendered before that The Lord Chancellor—Yes, but that was not the minute of reference itself, and it is of that alone that we can take notice here. Mrs. Yelverton----It was declined by the court when it was tendered. Lord Colonsay—No doubt the minute was ten dered, but all their lordships cJuld notice was the proceeding of the 14th, which was after the judg ment of the House of Lords was applied. Mrs. Yelverton put a question to the House which created some amusement. The Lord Chancellor—We are here to listen to you. lam afraid we cannot undertake to answer any questions of that kind. (Laughter.) Hero again the appellant seemed to lose herself completely, and to speak of matters which the Lord Chancellor was obliged to remind her were not in evidence. She - then noticed Mr. Anderson's argu ments on what he called her clandestine marriage, and quoted from a judgment delivered by Sir Win. Scott, in which he affirmed the validity of a mar riage under circumstances of a similar character. That learned person had declared that, according to the Scottish law, au irregular marriage was as regular as a formal marriage, and that if the law made a mistake the law must take the responsi bility, and the parties must not suffer. The ap pellant's next point w a s that the proposed oath of reference would n o t i nv olve Major Yelverton in the criminality whi c h h a d been alleged. There would be quite sufficie n t evidence w ithout going to that extent, and if th e S co tch marriage question could be settled, that would put an end to the whole case, and ought to he equally satisfactory to the ap pellant and respondent. It had been said that a person against whom an oath of reference lead been granted might put his hands in his pockets and walk off, refusing to answer, but such a case had never occurred. It was exactly in such a case that the Court would be likely to interfere. She next re ferred to the case of Lord Huntingtower, where a Scotch marriage was brought forward to override an English marriage, and in which the Court exer cised its discretion. The Lord Chancellor—lf he remembered rightly, that was a plea set up to ev ade a debt. A debt had been contracted by his w if e , and Lord Hunting tower set up a previous Scotch marriage in order to get rid of his liability. He remembered that the case was heard at nisi prius, but he did not remem ber that it ever came before a full court. It could hardly, therefore, have any bearing on the present proceeding. Mr. Anderson said he believed the case fell through. Mrs. Yelverton proceeded to Bay that some judges had decided that there had been a marriage between herself and Major Yelverton, and others that there had not during the long period of seven years. When, therefore, only two persons knew the fact it was only to those two parties that the matter on oath should be referred. The truth had never been fixed firmly; sometimes it had been apparent, sometimes in the shade ; and the only way to pass it was to put the matter directly to Major Yelverton, and that would settle the case one way or the other for ever. More documents were handed the appellant, but she floundered over them, and excited the sympathy of every ono present. The Lord Chancellor —I am afraid your counsel writes a very bad hand, which is not very unusual amongst lawyers. Pray take your time to decipher it, or perhaps it would be better for Mr. Smith to read it himself. Mr. Smith briefly explained the reasons of his absence on former occasions. The Lord Chancellor —We were informed, when and we wait for you, or would gave the appeall an t her the case commenced , that y ou were on the way from choice,whether Scotland, shewould go on herself. It appears that you were not ready to reply this morning, even if you had been per mitted to do so. I think this ought to be known, in order that it may not be supposed that the House of Lords was pressing the appellant. Mr. Smith then read a docu ment which had been prepared, contending that the refus a l o f th e J u dges in Scotland was based upon false assumptions. There should be no authority on the part of any court or of any judge to phut up the aYenuefi of tice sgainst the appellant. If Major Yelverton could swear that ho did not marry the appellant, why should he not have the opportunity of doing so, and why should the appellant be denied the jus tice she had a right to claim. Many of the best years of the appellant's life had been spent in this litigation some might think wasted not but she felt that she owed it to herself to strive after what she knew to be truth and justice as well as she knew anything in this world. The Lord Chancellor—Would the appellant wish to address the House further ? Mra. Yelverton, who seemed deeply affected and very feeble, again stepped forward to the bar. She said she bad not much more to say, but she would prefer waiting until after the adjournment. The Lord Chancellor said the house would ad journ for half au hour. On the reassembling of their lordships, Mrs. Yelverton again appeared at the bar. She said this unfortunate case had brought to light and developed the hideous proportions, the anoma lous state of the marriage laws of the three king- doors. A purely civil contract in Scotland, it was a tyrannical, fanatical, religious one in Ireland. Had a man professed himself a Protestant by going to church and sacrilegiously receiving the Holy Sacrament for the first time in his life, he could then possess himself, with all the formalities and religious ceremonies prescribed by law, of the person and property of any Catholic lady his evil eye might have fallen upon, and then turn her adrift to ignominy, poverty, and shame by setting up his Protestantism, by setting up his religion, forsooth, as the cloak and shield of the vilest of crimes, the mockery of his God on his consecrated altar, the defiance of His laws in His very temple, the worse than murder of his helpless victim. She quite objected to the at tempt made by her learned friends on the op posite side to change the defender in this case-- to substitute Mrs. Forbes for Major Yelverton. They heard no more of his rights, of justice to be done him, he had ceased even to demand " the so latium" for the wound inflicted on his feelings in the shape of consecutive £5O penalties. This balm of Gilead was not applied, but their lordships were now asked to prescribe for Mrs. Forbes equally at the expense of the applicant. Major Yelverton in his action demanded much in the style of Dick Turpin, " Your honour or your purse." "If you say you are a wife, pay me with the last shilling you have, pay me or I can cast you into prison ; pay me, because I persuaded you that a Scotch marriage in a private room was binding in that land ; pay me because yielding to your scrupulous nature, I took you before a priest of the Most High, to sanc tion in the sight of Heaven our union ; because with my own hand I took the helm and steered the frail bark which bore us over the bright bay of Ros trevor to the lonely church of Kilowen. I declare now I had no intention of marrying you. I am a Protestant now. I have taken the Sacrament and disclaim you." It required a bold heart to with stand this. It required the consciousness of truth not to bow before such impend ing ruin. But though all the fiends from heaven that fell had poured the threat in her ears she had not yielded; her cheek might have blushed and her woman's tongue might have quailed, but the quivering lips would speak the truth until the solemn hour of death should lay them still. True that in that little parlour at Mrs. Gamble's there were none present to note the vow save the guardian angel who registered them in heaven ; still she challenged the defender in the presence of his Maker to deny that he took her for his wife, and such she humbly submitted was the law of Scotland. This dire struggle for mere existence was -ed hr h. --rciful r \ tion of their span_ .ier by the merciful consideration v.. __ lordships, a refusing of the solatium, damages, and penalties, forming a portion of the action. Their lordships rendered this penalty to silence innocuous, it became nugatory and futile, for their lordships must be aware that it would be hopeless to put a woman to silence except by the ancient practice of the bridle, or the present singular method of just starving her to death. Having quoted the cases of the Townsend peerage and others, she said this was her argument that evidence now should be taken when in time, and not to commit to a future generation the legacy of a law suit to which they certainly were consenting parties. It had been argued to their lordships and cases had been cited to prove that they were striking at a regular subsisting marri Igo ; now Mrs. Forbes's marriage had not subsisted any more than the appellant's; they had alternated on from one to the other from 1861 to l 8 i 5. In 1857 Major Yel verton married Theresa Longworth, first according to the law of Scotland, as declared by the full Scotch Court, and again in Ireland in facie ecclesix, and here they had the first subsisting marriage, for whatever might have been the fluctuations and vicissitudes since the leg d marriage was " Seniper presumtur pro matrimonio, until a marriage was de clared void it was held to be legal. Then in 1858 they had the marriage of Major Yelverton to Mrs. Forbes, which, for the sake of argument merely, she would admit, cast a doubt upon the first, but it could not, under the circumstances, be re garded as a bona fide established marriage. The appellant went at length through the history of the marriage, and submitted that if Major Yelverton did not exchange marriage consent with Theresa Yelverton in . the parlour of her respectable friend, Mrs. Gamble, would it not be the simplest thing in the world for him to swear he did not. If the last great day of judgment were re vealed in all its awful majesty upon appellant at that moment she would swear he did. if he did, she was persuaded their lordships would not allow him to escape upon a mere technical pretext, a mere formality of the discretion of a court. They would uphold the honour and equity of their house ; they would uphold truth and justice as the guiding stars of the laws of the British empire. It had been urged upon their lordships several times, and the question had been raised—What was to become of Mrs. For bes in case Major Yelvertondeponed affirmatively? She believed she could solve that problem. She had already stated that there was no fear for Major Yelverton of punishment for bigamy, but if there re mained the slightest doubt on his mind as to any danger from that source, he had it in his own power to secure himself most effectually against any attempt to inflict the punishment of bigamy upon him. He had only to reveal his hiding place, and accept the service of citation into the Divorce Court, or, if he objected to the jurisdiction of an English court, being an Irishman, she would apply for a citation from their lordships, as represen tative peers of England, having jurisdiction over that kingdom. Then, freed from all marriage with the appellant, by this the only mode of dissolving the double marriage in different countries, he could then' marry Mrs. Forbes, and give her the status, so earnestly pleaded for, without any risk of its being disputed by posterity. Then he might safely walk abroad in open day, " his lovely Thais by his side, for none but the brave deserve the fair." It might be that this process, to which she clung as bringing about the long wished for goal, the end of this wearying strife, was but the frail plank which buoyed her up for a moment, only to sink beneath her, and leave her a prey to the boisterous waves of life, alone, unprotected. It might be that, instead of giving her the relief she sought, it was but the renewal of strife ; but her heart and soul were vowed to live or perish in the truth, and until it was recognised the light of heaven could but shine for her, or the lap of earth cradle her in its sweetness, yet would she not argue against Heaven's decree, nor bate one jot of heart or hope, but still bear up and steer right onward She had now made her last appeal to their lordships, but her prayer would ever be—" Judica mo Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloro erne me." The appellant, apparently overwhelmed, then re tired. The Lord Chancellor said their lordships would take time to consider their judgment.

Tho SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock, when, the house having resolved itself into committee, the further consideration of the bill for the amendment of the Repre sentation of the People was proceeded with. Mr. LOCKE moved the following clause :—" (Notice of rate in arrear to be given to voters.) Where any poor rate due from any occ u p ier in respect of any premises withi a borough on the fifth day of January in followi any year shall remain unpaid on the first day of June ng . , the overseers whose duty it may bo to collect such rate shall, on or before the 20th of such month of June, give a notice thereof in the form set forth in Schedule (X) to this act to every such occupier as would on payment of such rate bo entitled to vote in the election of a member or members of Parliament for the borough in respect of his occupation of the said premises ; the notice shall be doomed to be duly given if delivered to the occupier or left at his last or usual place of abode, or with some person on the promises of which the rate is payable, or the notice may bo sent by the post, free of postage, or the sum chargeable as postage for the same being first paid, directed to the occupier at his place of abode as described in the rate book; any over seer who shall wilfully withhold such notice with intent to keep such occupier off the list or register of voters for the said borough shallbe deemed guilty of a breach of duty under the Registration Act." The clause was read a second time, and a. variety of amendments were moved by Mr Hardy. A discussion followed, during which Mr. Gladstone thought the most convenient course was to adopt the amendments with the understanding that they would be open fur discussion on the bringing up of the report. Mr. SCHREIBER said ho had an amendment to move, that for a second member for Chelten ham ; but, after the declaration which had been maeo on a previous occasion, that there were no means in th© possession of Government of complying with the request, he should withdraw the motion. Mr. W. COWPER moved that the borough of Hertford should comprise the towns of Ware and Hoddesden. Mr. DIMSDALE spoke strongly in favour of the pro position, and said such an arrangement would be agree able to all parties. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the discussion of this question showed clearly that members were not aware of the power of the Boundary Commissioners. They had power to deal with such mat tors, and, if necessary, to enlarge the borough of Hertford ; they would recommend, and Parliament would take care that that recommendation was carried into effect. The clause was withdrawn. Captain HAYTER withdrew a similar clause that he had on the paper, to add Shipton Mallen and Glastonbury to the borough of Wells. Mr. HARVEY LEWIS said, after the declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, ho should withdraw his motion for the giving two additional members for 31aryle bone.

(Hear, hear.) The remaining schedules having been agreed to, the bill passed through committee. The announcement was received with loud cheers from both sides of the house. HOUSE OF COMMONS_IJAST EVENING. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. Mr. EDWARD JAMES moved an amendment to the clause with the object of making the question of distance of residence quite an open matter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said lie thought the ohm& ought to be made exceptional iu far-our of the City of London, and that the limit proposed by the mover of the clause ought to be adhered to. Mr. PIM thought a groat injustice would bo done if that determination was agreed to. Take the case of three partners of a firm in the City of London. One of the part ners lived at St. John's-wood, another at Windsor, and the other at Brighton the clause would give the vote to the first two, but why, he should like to know, was the latter to be deprived of his vote? Ile fulfilled all his duties as a citizen just as much as the other two. The amendment moved by Mr. JAMES was negatived without a division. . On the motion that the clause be added to the bill, a discussion ensued with regard to the exceptional circuity: stances that had prevailed in favour of the City of Loudon. On the motion of Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, a new clauso was ordered' to form part of the bill, d!squalifyiug parsons reported guilty of bribery at Totnes from voting for the county of Devon ; a similar clause relating to Great Yarmouth and the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk; a smilar clause with regard to Lancaster and the county of Lancaster; and a si,nilar clause respecting.. Reigate and the county of Surrey. Lord E. CECIL moved a clause di•q'ialifying persons from voting who had been convicted of felony, larceny, perjury, or subornation of perjury. The committee allowed it to be read a second time, though the Chancellor of the Exchequer hinted his dislike for it; but, oa the question that it be added to the bill, the opposition assumed a more decided tone, and Mr. Glad stone observed that the committee were perpetrating a grave error in introducing a new principle of criminal law into the Reform Bill, a sentiment which was received with an approving cheer. They were actually going to con stitute a semi-criminal class. Hitherto they told the man who had committed any of the offentes enumerated in the clause, "You shall go into court, be tried, and have a sen tence inflicted upon you, and that sentence shall mark the measure of the punishment which society inflicts upon you." After that sentence had been served out the prin ciple of our law was that the man should be restored to freedom and to life. To innocence, of course, he could not be restored ; but he protested against the man having heaped upon him the stigma of his former offences. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having expressed his concurrence in this view of the question the clause was eventually withdrawn, its mover intimating that he should re-open the subject on the report. y aclal carry y abortive e a t g t v tn i n p g t s awere second made me m b b r M t r o .

Mr. GLADSTONE, in moving a clause to the effect that South Lancashire should be separated into two division; each to represent three members (instead of two each, as proposed by the bill), once more condemned the scheme of redistribution, and male it a special complaint that out of the 25 additional seats given to tho counties only ono was allotted to South Lancashire. This he pronounced an in justice, and, arguing that the disfranchisement of the small boroughs ought to be carried further, declared that their doom was sealed, and could not be averted. The clause was supported by Mr. A. Egerton, the Mar quis of Hartington, and Mr. Newdegato, and opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who dilated upon the liberal character of the measure as a whole, and rigidly de clined to push the disfranchisement of the smaller bo roughs further. He also reminded the committee that of late years Lancashire had had its representation greatly in • creased, and that this was much extended under the bill. Stating the case plainly, the right hon. gentleman pointed out that that county would have 82 members, who might betaken as representing 66,000 persons each, whilst Mid dlesex would be represented by only 18 members, with up wards of 122,000 of population to each. Ultimately the clause was permitted by its mover to be negatived without a division. Colonel GILPIN proposed a clause taking away ono member from each of the four Parliamentary boroughs next above 10,000 inhabitants, according to the last decen nial census, namely, Tiverton, Tamworth, Warwick, and Barnstaple, and transferring the seats to Luton, Keighly, Barnsley, and St. Helen's. The clause was met with a vigorous resistance on the part of the members for the threatened borough; Mr. Den man and Mr. Walrond (Tiverton), Mr. John Peel and Sir R. Peel (Tamworth), Sir G. Stucley (Barnstaple), Mr. Repton and Mr. A. Peel (Warwick). The debate was conducted with much animation for a considerable time, and a passage between Sir R. Peel and Colonel Stuart in reference to the claims of Luton to enfranchisement, the character of its population, and the causes of its growth catteed intense merriment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the clause. Reminding the committee that they had arrived at these several conclusions —that no borough with a popu lation less than 10,000 should be ropresonted by more than ono member; that no borough with a population not ex ceeding 5,000, and returning ono member, should be dis franchised; that curtain large towns should be repre sented; and that four boroughs should have their repre sentation increased, he pressed upon the attention of the committee the inconvonionse and disturbance which must arise from their now, at the end of the session, when they had advanced so far in their labours, departing from the principle of the arrangomact, and opening up now ques tions of controversy. Mr. GLADSTONE again commented upon the imper fect character of the redistribution scheme, and said he would give his support to any proposal that was calculated to improve it by giving promise of durability. Conse quently ho should vote for the clause proposed by Colonel Gilpin. The committee having divided, the clause was negatived by 224 to 195. Progress was then reported. The remainder of the orders, forty-three in number, were then dispatched, and the house rose at half-past two o'clock. 7IIE NEW RALLTVAY BILL. MEETING THIS DAY. • A very numerously attended meeting of railway share holders was held at the London Tavern to-day to consider the bill which has passed through the House of Commons. and is now before the House of Lords regarding the stock of bankrupt railway companies. Mr. DE LA Hun, by whom the meeting was convened, presided, denounced it asoneof the grossest acts of confisca tion that was ever brought before Parliament. Ho contended that it was quite uncalled for, would benefit no class of shareholders, leave railway stock at the mercy of a parcel of harpies or wreckers, as they were called, and ruin hundreds of thousands. Seve ral addresses wore delis ered, and all the speakers concurred in the imperative necessity of taking immediate steps to prevent the bill, which they described as having been strangled, passing into law until after more mature consideration than it had yet received. A resolution embodying those views was unanimously adopted to wait on Lord .11orby. LONDON GAZETTE.-THIS EVENING. FOREIGN OFFICE, JI:LY 6.
