DIWEittAL I' tiILIAMEIN T. 119 US El (lb* GU -/::1( yiVS, June 27. PUN() k; DISCIPLINE. (Continued frcen our Atternom Edition of yesterday.) Sir G. eer HEY sad that a 4 he.had stated his views on a former occesem, in reply to the Hon. Member for Le.mbetn (kin Ce Pears in), he should not trouble the "louse with many observatioes, but there were one or two points to which he must advert. In the first place, then, with reeetiel to the system of prison discipline, it lad nos had several years of trial under every variety of circunista.nees, and the result tat been one which was quite s itish etery to the punlic tacers. Then as to the two objects of reforming the offender and the repres sion of crime, the report was equally advantageous. The Hon. Member fur Berkshire had taken the opportunity of giving from hie personal experience a comparison of the different expenses ot the old system aad that which was at present used. Now with regard to those ex penses, it was neeertained tfiat the several cells of York Ciatle cost 1,200/..per cell, and those of Milbank cost 500/. per cell, while the cells in Maidstone gaol cost only 3001. per cell, and those of Leading, of which so much had eeen said, had only cost 2001. per cell, while he believed that th- prisons ot Menchester, Birmingham, and Leeds teed not cost mere then foam 1401. to 1502 per eell. This statement would ,how the difference between the old and the present systems, so far as expense was concerned. Mr. B. DENISON—And that was not an annual expense: Sir G. GREY—That was a very important observa tion. The expense incurred was incurred once and tor ever, and thus the benefits were annually increasing Then with respect to the representations which had been made with reeard to the moral condition of the pri soners. llis attention had just been very strongly drawn to this subject, and he had only just issued a circular to the inspectors and superintendents of prisons direct ing that their reports should be confined to the facts which came under their notice, and not contain any observations of their own upon those facts, observations which tended to impair rather than to enhance the value of their reperts. Fur his own part, he had no objection to the appointment of a Sel- cc Committee for an examinati oa of the whole subject, and if that suggestion were adopted, he would take care that the matter was made one or the first con sidered in the ensuing s ession.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME said tie believed that during a long expe rience there wae hardly a gauler of old standing with whom he hal not conversed on this subject, and he was sorry to say th et the replies derived from the whole of them went to show that, whether under the silent or any other system, that there was very little hope of the reformation of offenders. The greater part of the committals were, in three cases out ot four, those of offenders who had previously been intimate wish the rules of prison discipline.—(klear. hear.) By far the best plan would k e'. to prevent rather than cure the evil; and it wools be tar better to send those persons who were usually the .inmates of prisons out of the country with credit and at their own expense, rather than in dtegrace, and at the expense of the country. He thought it was absolutely necessary that some st Steel of general education ought to be adopted, compulsory, if neceeslry, but voluntary if it could be obtained, and paid for by a rate levied on the owners of pro- perty it the resources could not by any other weans be procured—(Hear, hear)—for he believed that in the end such a Iwo would prove to them the cheapest remedy that could p ossibly be adopted.—(Hear, hear.) Then he ihoueht by far too much attention was paid to the comfort of the prisoner, who in fact enjoyed more of the benefits of life than the hard-working man, who refrained from any breach of the laws.—(Hear.) Taking the whole matter, he conceived that education was the best remedy; and if by being made compulsory it was an interference with the liberty of the subject, it was fa- the benefit of the subj , et. Th ' Hear.) He should be sorry to vote against inquiry, but seeing the disp-sition evinced by the Hight Hon. Barone.; the Home Secretary, and the readiness he had rouni'..sted to grant a Committee, he would recommeud to his lion. Friend to withdraw his motion. Mr. ADDERLEY said there was such an overwhelm ing amount of clime in this country, that statesnie n telt the greatest poSitlie difficulty how to att. and, there• fore, they adopted that course always which promised any, the slightest, tuitigstii,n of the evil ; and hence much of the isiteliclv of the legislation on this sub ject. Ile would recommend that the prison at Park hurst should ho turnei into a penitentiary for the reception of that immense ekes of offimders called juve nile mi.dmieanans, who ought not to be calico offenders at all, but deal= with as an unMeturiate elites of persons thrown upon this country for protection. Under the present system of pris .n disuipline, virtue was degraded by being olaced on a par with crime, and crime was dig nitted by being put on a par with wit-teems misfortune. He sts uld have much pleasure in voting for the amenument before the House. Sir JOSHUA WALNISLEY entirely concurred with all that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Muntrese on this question. It was the great mass of juvenile de linquency that -they had to deal with. In the gei lof Bmten, which he nos in the habit of visiting, there were from three hundred to four hundred young persons confined, from to .e to twelve years of age. and most of whom were committed to gaol eight or ten times in the c. , urs4 of a twelvemonth. They coat obtain no means of livelihood when they came out of prison, from the bid character which attached to them, end they had no alternative but to commit fresh depred ati. ma. so that they might be agaio taken to pri3on, or starve. The dealing with that cl Ise of persona was a mist important question even in a pi-cuniary point of view for this country; and thpro wes no way of dealing with it satisfactorily anti eff'ctually bat by a well-digested scheme of edu cation. Mr. WODETIOTTSE-gave it as his opinion that this que,tion ti been WO I,)Pg th:Ll 2 , €(1, and no;:ed it would be taken vigortn.kly NI) by the Governuaent on the col:la in:Meer:tent of an trier sessi.n. Sir JOUN PAKING FON said the separatl system of imprisonment was at variance with our common law. Of all the systems of prison discipline the separate system was the very 132 st that had yet been discovered; yet at the same time he could not help regarding it with very great j, al. may and doubt. It had been said the *epa• rate system made very good prisoners, but not very good men after they were r•• 10.i5 , t,1. fie thought this a proper subject for a Committee of Inquiry, and he would vote for the motion the 1100. Nl , mber for Limheth, but on this unclen3t.inding . , that by doing so, he did not wish to imply any rell,ction on the separate system. Atter a few words from Sir GEORE GREY, who explained wi;h rorerenee to gving his assent to a Commit tee of leg d,), that the Committee would not be I,mited to the corisilersti .n of one sy:teat only of prison discip line, but would embrace a liberal consideration of the whole glvaiion. _ _ . Sir HENRY lIALFORD, in deference to the wishes of the Heusi: and et' the S , cretary of State for the Heine Departreemr, wind] withdraw his emendment, but on the nnelezetending that the came ohjectiens should prevail against the merle, of the Hon Member for Letabeth. Mr. C. PE 1.113()N rose to reply. The separate system was one of reet cruelty, and had the effect of increasing the nuelte.r of trim n ds. Under this system ne hard I..bour was &beet d; the only approach te it was a creek vOleel, at etech ten persons worked, this being jest the amount of 1a our to employ the mind. Education was the gr. at work cerritel on there, as appeared from the ex -.initiation of a visiting inalistrate at one of those esteleistenenee The prisoners were too well treat.d. It w .uld he seen that a great number of offences ngaiust the prises discipline censisted of destroying the toed which had teen given them in t,t) great cpiamtities. -It was net rieht to it flea a pueishme it upon a man which left him a: the orel of the puot-hment less able to earn an heneat livi tg ILI hi. a, before, end this was the affect of the sepJritee system. He was pr plied to prove that what. ver might. be the effect of thy grega rious system, they were not to he compared with those of the separate system, a4alnst which he raised his voice. At g iol, where tnee had a trades instructor dressed out in all the accoutr•enents or official dignity, the whole amour. of the pekes lehour in tie gaol was 6/. 2s. Bd. The Right H - in. Baronet tied told thorn the cost heal been 2001. per cell, but he thought the Right Hon. Bennet was wrong ; that mi g ht be the first neat, but many ad ditions had been necessary. From the reports of the inspectors they would find that in this gaol great attention was paid to the comforts of the worthy gentlemen who were confined here. They bad yards to exerc;Fe in, and contrivances by which, it it rained or the sun shone too stron 4 ly en them, they Could -cover thetus.lves, and walk without allowing the wind of heaven to blow too roughly upon them. Ti v great Names of Howard, , mitly, and Bet:thorn hal been u.ed in favour or till. system. Bat he could not Miele that this was fair. It was nua unlikely that in the voluminous wan converted into some sentences might be eazight up arguments in feveur of this system, If the Howe would give him a Committee on this subject he would stake his seat in it upon the tact of proving all that be had stated. Ile would not divide the House upon his motion on the present occasion, but he would in the first weak of the next session renew the trettion in its present shape. During the ensuing recess he should visit some of the principal towns in the kingdom, in order to ascertain their opinions upon the subject. After is ona.-, ob.ervations from Viscount BARRINGTON and Str .T. YAKINGToN, the motion was withdrawn. BA NEB.UP r AND INSOLVENT MEMBERS BILL. The House then resolved itse:t into Committee on this Bill. Mr. GOULBURN objected to the further proceeding with the Bill. He thoueht if the House were to pass this Bill, and deprive Members of Parliament of their privilege of being free from arrest for debt, they ought not to legislate with respect to Vie payment of debts of 'Ale& ers, but leave theca in that respect on the same footing a. ether p?rsons. Mr. HU MN' took the same view of the subject. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought such a pro ceedieg would be worse than the one proposed, for a Member might he arrested and left in p:ison, and his constituents n: tretin altoge.th,r unrepresented. C. W . l NN thought th e y were procee di ng ra th er too fuel. th. y p•esse.d the p resent Bil l t h ey wou ld pl ace themselves m au int. nor position to the other House of of Parliatnent.

The Home reZmed, the Caanx.v reported progress, and asktd lowa to bi; Bit',NLFICES IN PLURALITY BILL. • Mr. FREWEN moved the second reading of this Bill, and stated that its onject was to apportion districts to the population. Mr. HUME said this Bill raised the whole question of pluralities, and he should be glad to know if the Bill had the support of the Government. He had moved For returns on the matter, to show the numb r of plurali ties granted since the Act. He opposed the Bill because it recognised the existence of pluralities, which he con sidered should not long--r exist, Sir G. GREY was not prepared to assent to the Bill, the principle of which the Hun. Gentlemen had not stated. The onl) restriction proposed to be in roduced by this over the present sygem was in r. gard to the value of the benefices. At present a clergyman was permitted to hold two contiguous benefices of small in come. Mr. FREWEN, after some observations, withdrew the Rill —Bill acc•Trlingly withdrawn. GENERAL AND QUARTER. SESSIONS. The House went into Committee on tnis Bid. Mr. BAINES said that he proposed to tstablish an official board by which the cLtims of one parish upon another might be enforced; and this hP proposed to do by an order of the magistrates of the Q ,ai ter Sessions, equivalent in those respects to an order ot the Court of Queen's B, rich. This t e would do by striking out the 16 h ctsuse alOge.th , r, and mak ng such an alteration in the 17 h clause as would r,nd r it applicable to all purpses. The 16th clause was then struck out. Mr. BAINES then proposed the words by which this alteration was to be effected. Atter a few o bservations trom Mr. W. Miles, who called the attention of the Attorney-General to the subject, and some observations in reply from Mr. Baines, with a sugge stion from Mr. Beckett Denison, the clause, with the amendment of the Learned Commissioner, was passed. On the is h clause being read, Sir J. DUCK WORTH suggested that in cases of bastardy, after the evidence of the woman had ben given, that an opportunity should bo aff,rded to the putative father of making an appeal. It had happened that before the usual time for making the appeal the woman hed died, and the man had no remedy, but had been sadned with the expenses without any prospect of remedy. Toe suggestion was adopted, and the words being embodied, the clause was passed. The other claus4.s of the Bill were then passed with out comment, and the Chairman was ordered to bring up the rep;rt to-morrow. The Iliuse then resumed. PRO - lECTION OF WOMEN BILL. Several petitions on this subject were presented from the women or Stroud by Mr. BUNBURY and other DL•mbers. , Mr. bPOONER rcse to move that this Bill be read a second time. In the first place this Bill originated and had come down from the tiouse of Lords. Further, he would state that this Bill had received the autho- rity of, and, he believed, had been framed by the Lord Chief Baron. The object of the Bill was, to remedy a great and notorious evil, the extent of which could not be known except to those who had charge of the Bill. Its purpose was to enact that any person who had been convicted of having been guilty of causing the seduction of any female for the sake of lucre should be severely punished. Having stated this, he proposed to go into a Select Committee, and submit to such alterations as would render it practically useful. Mr. ANSTEY said that he believed that it had been cendemned by all the law Lords in another place.— (ilear, bear.) The principle of this Bill was to punish any woman, who had caused any man to have carnal connexion with a woman—(Laughter)—with two years hard labour. But this was a one-sided Bill, for it did not provide any punishment for any man having connexion with a woman.—(Great laughter.) It did not provide in any way ter the punishment of seduction.—(Laughter.) Now it was directed against those unfortunate females who were already seduced, and had no other means of gaining a livelihood than that which they now pursued. It was notorious that the Bill was directed azeinst certain houses, and it was well known that these acts arose out of false pretensions. It arose onl) out of a morbid feeling, and the passing of it would only gratify that reeling, and he was only discharging a duty to society and to humanity in doing anything which would prevent the position of those females to whom he had alluded from becom ing' more intolerable than it was at present. If the Bill had been levelled against seduction it should ave bad his be st support. But seeing that nothing of the kind could be ett , cted, that the law was already stiingent enough, and if the magistrates refused to administer the law as it stood, how could it be expected that they would put a new statute into force. Seeing this, he should certainly aside the House on the question, and move that the Bill be rea I this day three months. Mr. HUME said that a certain religieus seciety was reported to have the care, or at least possession, of houses of a very bad description. If they wanted to have a law of this kind, they should go to the Universi ties, and take the opinion of those who were the ac knowledged authorities on morality and religion in the country. He should certainly vete with the lion. Mem ber who had just sat down. Sir J. JERVIS said the Bill was not only directed against th , se who, for lucre or gain, procured a carnal c .mmonication between any roan and any woman, but there must also be the consideration of false pretences. This Well did not seem to him to be necessary, nor did he think it was at all calculst , d for the protection of women. He should certaiiily vote against it. Atter a few words of explanation, Mr. SPOONER proceeded to call the attention of the House t i a number of cases which he held in his hand, of women having be'n seduced by fake r. presentations, and who were now sunk into the lowest rank of "ocsty. The object of the Bill was to put down all such traffic. The Hon. Genii-man quoted the autho rity of Mr. Bison Parke, that the present common law was not suffieiently comprehensive. He contended that the principle of the Bill would embrace many offinces which now escaped unpunished, owing to the imperfect elate of the law. A' t r a few words from the ATTOR N EY GENERAL. Mr. ELLIS begged the House to allow the Bill to go into Committee. Mr. LAW hoped that the House would not throw out the Bill, imperfect as it was, becluse it was capable of great improvement, and had a must important object in view. Mr. NE WDEGATE trusted that the objections that had been raised to the Bill would not prevent the House from acceding to its principle. Sir G. GREY opposed the second reading of the Bill, considering it one that was confessedly inefficient for its object. It the Hon. Gentleman who had the charge of the Bill would give him an assurance that he would make its provisions effective, he would not oppose the second reading of the Bill. Mr. SPOONER would most readily give the Bight Baronet the assurance he requiri Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... ••• Against it ... ... •.. ... Mijority aglinit the amen iment... -124 On onr admi - s-ioti to the gadery we found Mr. M. GIBSON on his legs, expressing a hope that as the Governmet had supported the second reading of the 811, they would do in their power to make it ett%ctive. _ _ _ — Mr. FIUME thought the course pursued by the Go vernment was a strong proof of moral cowardice. The ATTORNEY GENERAL defended the course pur-urd by the Government. After some obst•rvatio , A from Mr. C. Anstey, Mr. H. Berkeley, and Mr. Sommer, c,,t. n .1 SALW EY moved that the debate should be ~ rued. Mr. HUME seconded the motion, and in the course of hii speech, the hour of Six o'clock having arrived, the House adjourned amid muoli uighter. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—In Drury-lane, not quite a stone's throw from tt. e Royal Italian Opera, is a spacious and gloomy pile, which still ratline the traditionary name of a " Theatre Royal." In the last generation it was used for the legitimate drama ; and to keep up the prsocription it was opened, we believe, once for that purpose last year, and once again, for the benefit of an ex-lessee, on Monday night. Such a place must inspire seine melancholy reflections on the fate of British talent and the wotth of aristocratical patriotism. Insensible, however, to that omen. or nothing daunted by it, a troupe of dukes, and lords, and squires yes terday thronged the neglected stage, and obliged the public with a gratuitous entertainment. The subject was a " Midsummer Day's Dream," or " Protection Revived." As the story was founded on the Sbaksperian model, it will not surprise the reader to hear that Britannia was represented in love with an animal much beneath her legitimate regards. The order of nature was inverted throughout. For a story so preposterous the adjuncts should have been equally fan ciful, the personages goblins, and fairy land the scene. Ualucicily the performance was spoilt by the utter unfitness of the characters and circumstances. In an unprotected theatre, ruined by the competition of foreigners and the foreign predilections of our No eility, under a canopy of all but unprotected calico, and on en equally unprotected drugget, clad in fo reign linen and foreign wool. assembled the mem bers of the National Association for the Protection of British industry and capital, and, to the best of their ability, proceeded to lay the foundations of that patriotic design. Britannia, of course, was in the pit— the Duke of Richmond in the chair. As the only object was to amuse, it would be vain to look for facts, or any re semblance to facts, or index d any serious design in the ex hibition. There was nothing in the proceedings that bore any resemblance to this waking world. Though the sub j. ct was the present distress of the country and the most likely remedies, we did nut hear from first to last the re motest allusion to those miserable realities with which we are actually surrounded. There was not a syllabi, about the failure of the potato crop, which has now for three years deprived several millions of their usual food. There was not a whisper of the railway mania, and the fact that scores of thousands in trade and out of trade have been ruined by indulging in that folly. There was not a hint at the universal war which is destroying or impoverish ing our customers abroad and blockading their ports. There was no allusion to the fact that within tour yeare we hrve had to pay forty millions for foreign corn which we should have had to pay, will, or hill under any legisla ion whatever, even if Lord Stanley had beeu leader in the Lords, Lord Georg , Bentinck in the Commons, and both Houses bad been under their thumbs. In fact, though some elaborat historical reviews were attempted, the real history of this empire, as known by every man, woman, and child in it. and as entering into the experience of every British adult was as utterly ignored and put out of the question as it the purpose of the meeting had been to send Bibles to China, razors to Timbuctoo, or milkmaids to Rio Janeiro. The assembly met with closed eyes as well as closed doors. They stepped their ears to realities as reso lutely as if they were passing the shore of the Sirens. A stranger unacquainted with our history—if there ex ists any savage so remote or so stupid as not to know out unparalleled calamities—would certainly learn nothing from yesterday's speeches, except that we had enjoyed are unbroken tenour of prosperity, and should still be en joying it but for free trade. If in our remarks on suet a farce it is worth while to ask any question • or draw any conclusions, we will just ask why the terribl events which darken the present page of history, and which a thousand years hence will be inscribed in a few simple words on the years 1846 and 1848, have been so industriously and so ridiculously suppressed. Why— if nut because they neeat;ved the factious conclusione the movement was intended to palm on its dupes? A theory cannot be good for anything when it requires all the facts of the care to be k pt out of sight. Happily these serious omissions are rendered of very sligh• moment by a similar absence of practical conclusions. I a man fancies himself a lion, it matters very little so long as he eats nobody; or, to come nearer the preserve case, a lunatic may think himself the victim of conspiracy, yet be quite harmless if he c-ntena himself with, burning the effigies of his suppose( enemies on paper. What is to be done to restor. infection? L tag did we wait for a reply. A list o vice-presidents was read as long as Homer's catalogue o heroes and ships, and their names were freely offerer in pledge for the reality of the undertaking. But wha was the mode of operation? How was anything to be don,-? was the first step? Not subscriptions for they were judiciously postponed till them shall be something to show fur them. At last we seemed to hear something to the purpose. We could not be tins taken. A tsvot, Id plan was suggested. The tenant farmers were recommended to stop payment en masse, and petition the Queen to dissolve Parliament. A general election and a general repudiation to gather would set up the country. As the projec was received with tremendous applause, and e thousand burly figures stood up to cheer the prin ciple of repudiation, we presume it was unierstoqd For ourselves, we must confess to being rather in the dick. Is it seriously proposed by an association founded and governed by landlords, that the farmers shall bilk at their creditors in order to give weight to their &mane for a dissolution ? Or are they to escape payment cf just claims by means of a general election ? What is the plan.? Good reader, do not perplex yourself ; t_Auc_is_....nsh.....Dtaii_a.t. all. _Thpse gentlemen so" sleep. They know nothing, and mean nothing They have not heard of the famine or the war, and they intentions are equally dreamy and unreal. Stop pay ment and petition the Queen! You dream your house is attacked by cannon, and try to catch the balls in your hands. Happily it is only the postman's knock. Wk will nut wish these gentlemen wiser,, so long as their methods are harmless. We have no fear for their pru deuce and patriotism. His Grace the Pres'dent is mutt. too good a subject to allow any dangerous excesses, an.. we feel ia!rfectly see so Imre 0 as the cause remains in his heath. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TITESDAY.—The facility with which speculators in cotton can raise money for payment, on the security of their purchases, has again led to conside rable operations by that class, and their course has beet) tretly tollowed by consumers, the result being a rise of kI. per lb. in Americans generally. This movement has had an effect in our market to-day—among spinners a rather stirring effect. An advance of *d. to il per lb has been generally and firmly demanded; and merchants have found themselves obliged to accede to kl. upon the limited transanctions of the day, in low numbers of watee twist. Higher prices have also been obtained for 40', and 60's doubled; and the manufacturers of such good: as are at present in request, have shown a willingnes, to purchase at some further rise, bu: the India and China merchants, finding fe,) encouragement to operate iu the accounts juit received, have stood aloof from the market • And the Germans, with their Warehoust , s literally crammed, at lower prices, have folded their hands and d. ne nothing. However, encouraged by the comparative lightness of stocks in their own hands, the spinners have steed resolutely upon their advanced quotations, de termined that the miserable diff-rence betwixt the prier of cotton atal that of yarn shall not be made still less without a hard struggle. In goods, the India houses are giving orders for madapollams, for low jacconets, and for 40-Inca shirting., especially in 64 and 66 reeds, at som tteckien to the pr,vious rates. And for other market, than tho-e of the East, there is also a fair inquiry. We are likewise glad to find that a rather increased business is doing for home consumption. The aggregate trans actions to the day, however, both in goods and yarns have been restricted within narrow limits by the rise in pm. S. ROC lIDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a fair attend ance of buyers in the market to-day, but the bu,iness transacted has been much the same as the preceding Monday. The demand for kerseys has not been quite so good, but there is no change in prices. In the wool market there prevails the same inactivity, with no desire to puionase by the manufacturers, except for immedi ate use. HIIDDERcFIELD, TIIESDAY.—The market, to-day, may be considered satisfactory, and business in the ware houses during the week has been brisk for the season. Great inconvenience is experienced by our wool mer chants, in not being able to receive their Germa❑ wools by the way of Hull, and they are necessitated to pay a much higher rate of carriage, in consequence of the bloeicad , . of the Elbe. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The improved inquiry for wor.ted goods, which we noticed in our last, has been sustained to-Jay ; and there is a better feeling amongst the manufacturers. Prices are still low; but the stocks on hand are, in general, far from large, and much that is done, is to order.

A REAL RELISHER OF A JOKE.--A man lately re ceived twenty lashes well laid on, at the whipping post at Delaware. The culprit instead of bellowing when the c,nstable applied the lash laughed immoderately, which made thu angry officer lay on still harder. On giving him the twentieth blow the angry officer could wend it no longor. " Well, here mister," said the offended officer, " I've done my duty, and I can lick ye no more, but I'd just like to know what it is that's so funny?" " Funny!" roared the other. " Funny! why it's tne best joke I ever heard of'!" " Funny! Well what is the joke?" " Joke!" roared the other, " why, it's excellent. You've got the wrong Smith !

James's, to determine on the most deAra,bl,3 steps to be taken for promoting steam communication wiih Australia; the Right Hon. the Earl Talbot in the Tile CHAIRMAN expressed the great interest which he 'elt in the colony of Australia, which was growing day by d4y ofgreaterimportnnee, and therefore required amore direct steam communication with the mother country. One route suggested was by Singapore, another by the Cape of Good Hope, and a third by the Isthmus of Pa nama and the Pacifie; but, it would not be advisable to en ter into a discussion upon the comparative merits of them, for that was a mere matter of detail, and ought to be let t for after consideration. Their sole object now was to force upon the attention of the public and the L - gislature the necessity of a quicker communisation with those distant dependencies of the empire. To show the increase of commerce with them he might state that, while in 1800 the quantity of wool im ported from Sydney was 650 pounds, it hail since then gradually increased until, in 1848, it amounted to 46,612 pounds. The exp iris from this country to Sydney of German wool amounted to 17,000 bales. The whole of tne wool imported from Sydney amounted now to within 1,000 ba'es of that brought from foreign countries, thus showing how much the trade of our colonies would in ‘rees'• hv a rapid and more regular communication with England. i ue Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT, in rising to propose the first resolution, said that this important subject had been pla3ed with by the Government, that they had dealt with the dependencies of England as mere baubles and toys, and in a way totally inconsistent with the cha racter ut a great empire. Every one connected with these colonies had felt the great inconveniences whien arose from the delays inseparable from the present mode of intercourse. This subject had been cast about from one department of the Government to another, between the Post-office and the Admiralty, the Admiralty and the easury, and between the Treasury and the Exchequer ' ffice, until at last those who had subscribed their c +pi tal, to carry out the object which they had met to pro mote, turned away in disgust. It was calculated that ,ach inhabitant of Australia consumed ei.,411t, or ten wounds worth of goods, the produce of British industry, .vhile the inhabitants of foreign countries did not take more than at the rate of a shilling a head. The relationship between these two sums would at show the advantage which would arise From a more prompt intercourse, becaurm by that means they would offer an inducem..nt to men of capital, intel- Igence, and influence, to settle in Australia. With s little zeal, and energy, and determination, hostever, hey might expect to ultimately force the Government to grant them some assistance to accomplish that object. ['he Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that the rapid increase and importance of the Australian colonies ren 'ered the establishment of a steam' communication be wecn them and England highly desirable. Lord LYTTELTON seconded the resolution. He had, some years ago, been connected with the administration f colonial iethsirs, and he had then seen enough to take a .nost lively interest in everything connected with the ,iolonies, but more especially with Australia. There Jould be no more doubt that a steam communication Mould ultimately be established with Australia than that the sun would continue to rise. It would not only •rentflt this country, but would effect a considerable intlei•VPMent in the political and social government of the colony. MI. ..oNTGOMERY MARTIN supported the motion. He said that Australia was the only portion of our ranamarine dominions which had no direct communi sation; and it was the only colony which had been called upon by the Government to contribute to the establishment of mail rackets. India and North Ame rica had not been called upon to contribute a single hilling towards such an ohit-et, and yet Australia had icaretiy put ttn- English Exchr quer to any expense. The resolu ion was carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER proposed the next reSO - That the inhaottunts of the Australian eulo gies having, through the medium of their respective Legislative Assemblies, evinced the deepest anxiety to !ppreximate their dt pendencies wi;h England by steam, t is advisable to co-operate with tin m in this country toe the attainment of that important object." He would not have intruded himself upon the meeting . if he had not been in constant communication with several dear friends in the colony and knew something about it. They told him that there were wide-extend( d plants in the rude productiveness f nature, ready to yield all the riches which they con tained, and waiting only for labour to be applied to them. ihe means of the country were unbounded, and there .vas scarcely anything useful which it could not produce If we trar,splanted there the skill and enterprise of the . Briti-h character. Mr. MARK BOYD seconded the resolution, which, after a few observations from Sir William Vernon and other gentlemen, was put and carried. Mr. MONTAGUE GORE moved a resolution to the , ffect that it was the opinion of the meeting, that an appeal should be made to the Government, and pea ions presented to Parliament, pointing out the cape iiency on imperial as well as on colonial grounds, of establishing a direct system of communication between his country and Australia. The resolution was seconded by Mr. MACGREGOR, 1.P., and carried. A resolution was then passed appointing a committee to carry out the ohjecas of the meeting. Earl Talbot was compelled to leave the meeting be .ore it terminated, owing to an engagement, and he was ,uceeeded in the chair by Sir W. Vernon. After a a vote of thanks to both of those gentlemen, the meeting separated. A great number of influential gentlemen were present, many of whom were largely interested in the colony of Australia. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEI'V'S BENCH, June 27. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, and Special Juries.) PRIVILEGE OF COUNSEL —THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. JAMES, BARRISTER. This was down in the cause I.aper for trial to-day; but when called on it was announced that the soil •ri was withdrawn. It was an action brought by his Highness the Duke cf Brunswick, to recover compensation in damages for expressions uttered by the defendant, Mr. Edwin James, in the delivery of a speich to the jury in a cause wherein his Highness was the plaintiff, and the Learned Gentleman was Counsel for the defendant. The expressions were regarded by his Highness as derogatory o his character and feelitzs, and actionable. The point 3 issue excited considerable interest among the "gen tlemen of the long robe, " and in the minds o the curious in matters passing in ourts of law, involving the ques dons how far a barrister may go in attacking, in his forensic eloquence„ the plaintiff or defendant against whom he may happen to to engaged as counsel, and whether he is liable, if be pass a certain limit, to be pro 'coeded: againer,by :action, and Subject to be amerced in damages by the verdict of a jury for any imputations which he may, in his cast upon his Client's oppo nent, and for any tongue4lagellations which he may choose to inflict and delight to revel in. Both the public :Ind the profession were, however, disappointed, and the question, " like Mahomet's coffin between heaven and .artb," is poised in doubt.

This was au action of libel, brought by a lady whose name has been much before the public, to recover da mages for a libel on her, inserted in the Hampshire Ad vertiser, of which the defendant is the proprietor. The libel in question gave the report of a trial at Croydon in an action brought by the plaintiff against a Captain Dickson, the secretary of a benevolent institution, in which the plaintiff did not succeed; and then it com mented on the trial and on the plaintiff's conduct. In the course of its comments it erupt yed some vitupera tive and slanderous epithets to the plaintiff. This was the libel in question. Evidence was given to show that the plaintiff bad formerly contributed articles for the defendant's party in politics, but that lately differences had arisen between them, and this evidence was given for the purpose of showing the probable existence of a malicious spirit. Mr. Serge ant SHEE, in his address to the jury, denied the existence of the spirit; and argued that the cum merits were fair and temperate. Lord DENMAN summed up the case, and the jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 50/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Roe, the conductor of an omnibus which runs from Bayswater to the City, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Carden, for having deceived Mr. Ernest Sharpe. of Mark-lane, as to the destination of the vehicle. Mr. Sharpe, it appeared, got i n to the omnibus at Bays- water, having observed the the Bank ords " Blackwell Railway" upon the flag, and intended dtenedto be set down there. When reach the omnibus some of the passengers got out, but Mr. Sharpe e said he wished to be put down at the Blackwell station. a The omnibus then went alo n g Cornhill and into Leade hall-street, and stopped to set hi m down at the corner of Billiter street instead of taking him to Fenehurch-street, close to which is the terminus of the Blackwell Railway. Upon being expostulated with the conductor merely said, " You may as well walk a dozen yards to save tne trouble," and refused to convey Mr. Sharpe any further. The complainant stated that great public inconvenience arose from the mode of deception he described, and a near relative of his, who was lame, was more than once a sufferer, by being obliged to walk a considerable dis tance, although informed by the usual mode of indication that the omnibus was bound to a certain point. The defendant said the direction upon his flag was, " Near to the Blackwell Railway," and produced the authority by the direction of the Alderman. Alderman CAP.DEN observed that the words " Black well Railway" were in large letters, but the words "near to" were in letters not visible at even a very short 'dis tance, and quite invisible to near-sighted persons. It was palpably a trick, and he happened to be aware of the ex istiug practices amongst conductors and driVers, and was determined upon every occasion in which an offence of the kind should be proved before him to inflict the highest penalty. The owner of the omnibus submitted that his licence would not permit him to go to the Bleekwall station, a nd stated a great many other things which were just . as strong argumen• 3 against the infliction of the pelt s 1 !? .

The hospital he had just spokes of contemplated the relief of the poorer classes, while the Madeira St,nitotium proposed to give relief to those who were able partially to help themselves; and he, felt assured that as there were but few families in the country wh eh had eclped this direful affliction, so it but required an appeal to the British public to render this (he would net say c..arity, but) institution as dß' dent as it WaS hunrin.; in design. Mr. HEALEY, the secretary, read the report, which stated that a committee had then formed in the town of Funchal for the purpose of assisting the proposed in stitution. Toe Dean of ELY, in a short but very effective speech, proposed the following resolution:—"That this meeting concurs in the opinions of that held at Madeira, es to the desirableness of making the advantage s of the climate of that island accessible to those for whose benefit this establishment is proposed, and it pledges itself to endea vour to procure contributions to that effect." Dr. Ross seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimou , ly. Sir JAMES CLARKE then proposed the following reso lution :—" That in consequence of the proceedings in the island of Madeira, which have been made known to this meeting, it is expedient to form a permament English committer', for the purpose of carrying into ale; the objt ct in view." Mr. OLIVEIRA seconded the motion, which was also cart ied. • A committee was then appointed, and a vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman and duly acknow ledged, the meeting hr,•ke up. WORSHIP-STREET. IMPORTANT APPLICATION.—Mr. ti:utfield, one of the Middlesex county magistrates, and chairman of the managing committee of the London Hospital, accom panied by the Rev. Thomas Ward, the chaplain, Mi. Birch, tee resident medical sneer, and Mr. William Nixon, secretary to that iustitution, attended to request the advice and assistance of Mr. Hamelin in a matter seriously affecting the pad, nts of the hospital and the general health of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mr. Birch stated, that having adopted every means in their power to obviated the necessity of their present application without success, he and the gentleman who attended with him felt it their imperative duty to seek the interposition of the magistrate for eff ming the abate ment of a complete nest of destructive nuisances which existed in the immediate neighbourhood of the institu tion to wh eh they were attached, and the continuance of which, in the present heated state of the atmosphere, was productive of the most s riot's consequence s. The evil in question consisted of a congregation of various factories and other premises, in which almost every business that was of a noxious and deleterious character was carried on, comprising no less than nine bone boilers', and numerous animal charcoal burners', colour- makers', knackers' yards (at one of which, directly facing• the hospital, an average number of 100 horses were, slaughtered weekly), and a patent concentrated manure. manufacture on a most extrusive scale, in which ex crementitious matter, soot, and other materials were agglomerated into a compost, and disposed of in large quantities. The whole of these premises were clustered closely together, and so completely surrounded the hospital, tha union workhouse, and the parish schools, which respectively contained, the first 400 permanent inmates, the second 1,000, arid the third 500, upon the average, teat in some instances a distance of searcele 30 yards intervened between thew and the wells of the buildings. From all these premises the most injurious and effeneive vapours were incessantly exheling, which had such a pernicious effect upon the health of the inmates of the institution be had men tioned, that no fewer than 50 cases of diarrheea had oc curred almost simultaneously a short time since in the woe khouee, the master of which had also that morning informed him that eight other inmates, chiefly children. had just been attacked with the : same disorder. In ad dition to the baneful eff cts the t ffluviutn so generated had upon the health of the patients under his own imme diate care, whose several diseases were greatly aggra vated in intensity, and not untrequently fatally termi nated by erysipelas supervening though its agency, the inhabitants of the surrounding neigribourhood, which was most densely populated, were constantly attacked by diseases from inhaling these noxious gases; and one street in particular, Queen Anne-street. chiefly inhabited by the lower class of Irish, was never tree from typhoid fever in its most virulent form. As an instance of the deleterious effects of these manufactories, he might mention that the district where — they exiled stood considertinly higher in the scale of min tatty than any other in the metropolis; and the perfect impunity with which these nuisances were permitted was curiously illustrated by at, advertisement which appeared in several of the morning papers a few days since, in which the writer, in setting forth the un usual advantages offered by his premises, stated that in that locality any kind of business might be carried on, as nuisances were freely tolerated. Mr.'Stutfield else entered into many particulars en tirely corroborative of the statement just made by Mr. Birch; and the Rev. Mr. Ward, whose residence closely adjoins the hospi al, complained that he was compelled to keep his windows constantly closed to e xclude the vapours arising from these factories, which were of such a mischievous description that two members of his fa mily were at that moment suif ring from an incipient attack of cholera, by which he had also himself been affected for several days: Mr. Birch then celled a poor woman tenanting a house next to one of the bone-boiler's premises, who described if e stench emanating therefrom as being of so powerful a nature that she could not frequently use the greater part of her habitation; and Mr. Birch intimated that he had a number of other persons in attendance to depose to the same elf ct ; but Mr. lIAMMILL considered it unnecessary at present to hear their evitiei cc, and directed Inspector Ells to put himself into immediate communication with 1)r. Leiheby, the eminent professor of chemistry, arid Mr. Byles, the surgeon of the district, who tendered their services in effecting the suppresaion of these grievances, and whose joint representations, in conjunction with, the hoard of guardians, would, no doubt, have the de• sired effect. L.4MBETH. Yesterday a person named Blakeborough appeared 'A fore Mr. Norton to answer a summons taken out against him at the instance of the gum (Lams of the parish of Sr. Nkry's, Newington, and charging him with keeping a number of swine, to the danger of the health of the in habitants of the neighbourina d. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner kept a number of pigs in front of John-street, Walwori h•com mon, and three or four of the inhabitants who live oppo site were called to prove the place a ttA an intolerable nuisance. The ep;:earance of the uitnes:les was quite sufficient to prove the unwholesomeness of the place without any corroborating testimony, and the testimony they gave fully proved that the nuisance was most in tolerable, and highly detrimental to public health. Mr. Tailor, a member of the board of guardians, said that a number of fever eases had been admitted into the workhouse from the locality, at,d described the premises of the defendant as most injurious to public health. _ _ _ _ . _ Mr. Games, who appeared on behalf of the defendant, urged several technical objectims to the summons; but they were all overruled by Mr. Norton, who made an order for the imm , -diate rtlnnv..l of th. nuisance. THE SCOTTISH HosriTAL.—Yesterday a quar terly Court of the Governors of the Scottish Hospital was held at the hall of the c rporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street, to receive the report of the past quarter. The Duke of Montrose, the president in the chair. Major Adair, the secretary, read the report, which showed that 708 applicants, exclusive of the select list (the pensioners, &e.), had been relieved, at a co't to the institution of 5161..145. 6d., and that the receipts amounted to 914/. 165., which included 1001. 164., annual subscriptions, 2311. contributions at the annual festival, and 523/. interest on stock. The report being adopted, Mr. W. Maule Webster was elected solicitor to the cor poration, in the room of Mr. Thomas who had resi:t;ned. A resolution was agreed to acknowledging the thanks of the court to the secretary, for the presentation of a " mull," or Scotch snuff-box, and which it was resolved should be treasured among the valuables of the hospital, and be place on the table at each anniversary festival on Saint Andrew's-day. The " mull " consisted of a ram's horn surmounted by a silver cap, and inlaid with amethyst and Cairngorm pebbles. Professor Donaldson then,. in reference to a full-length portrait of the late Duke of Montrose (also a presentation from the secretary ), who was many years presidint of the hospital, and which hung in the room, proposed a r' solution that the following inscription be affixed to the picture ,—" When the Duke of Mon trose became president, (al Saint Andrew's-day. 17 82, the cerporation had 6501. stock, end during _t_h s. e p i r i e . ; vious year the SUM given in charity wag ,!i cLi s y, E wen 1 0 Grace ceased to be president on St. And e fe s r o - g the stock then was 17,295/. , 11. r a t : d,,d rh,;( ici, u ,: c n t tip : t t , hi7),erkui ,eysli.ss,?atwgoraretrihersde charities 9491.
