IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF CO M ()NS. June 27. PRISO I)NCIPLINE. SContinued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) ir G. le ftEY a .i I that as he had state(' his views on a former oceasien, in reply to the Hon. Member for Lambeth ( qr. C. Pears tn). he should not trouble the House with any observations, but there were one or two points to which he must advert. In the first place, then, with regard to the system of prison discipline, it bad now bad several years of trial under every variety Of circumstances, and the result had been one which was quite satisfactory to the public officers. Then as to the two objects of reforming the offender and the repres sion of crime, the report was equally advantageous. The Ron. Member for Berkshire had taken the opportunity elf giving from his personal experience a comparison of the different expenses of the old system and that which was at present used. Now, with regard to those ex penses, it was ascertained that the several cells of York Castle cost 1,2001. per cell, and those of Millbank cost 500/. per cell, while the cells in Maidstone gaol cost only 3001. per cell, and those of Reading, of which so much had been said, had only cost 2001. per cell, while he believed that the prisons of Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds had not cost more than from 1401. to 150 L per cell. This statement would show 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 for sever, and thus the benefits were annually increasing. Then with respect to the representations which had been made with regard to the moral condition of the pri soners. His 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 reports. For his own part, he had no objection to the appointment of a Sel. ct Committee for an examination of the whole subject, and if that suggestion were adopted, he would take care that the matter was made one of the first con sidered in the ensuing session. —(Rear, hear.) Mr. HUME said he believed that during a long expe rience there was hardly a gaoler of old standing with whom he had not conversed on this subject, and he was sorry ro say that 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 of four, those of offenders who had previously been intimate with the rules of prison disJpline.—(Hear, hear.) By far the best plan would be to prevent rather than cure the evil; and it would 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 disgrace, and at the expense of the country. He thought it was absolutely necessary that some system of general education ought to be adopted, compulsory, if necessary, but voluntary if it could be obtained, and paid for by a rate levied on the owners of pro perty if the resources could not by any other means be procured—(flear, hear)—for he believed that in the end such a rare would prove to them the cheapest remedy that could possibly be adopted.—(Hear, hear.) Then he thought 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-workine man, who refrained from any breach of the laws.—(Hear.) Taking the whole matter, ho 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 for the benefit of the subject.—(Hear.) He should he sorry to vote against inquiry. but seeine , the disposition evinced by the Right li o n. B aronet the Home Secretary, and the readiness he had manifested to grant a Committee, he would recommend to his lion. Friend to withdraw his motion. Mr. ADDERLEY said there was such an overwhelm ing amount of crime in this country, that statesmen felt the greatest possible difficulty how to act, and, there • fore, they adopted that course always which promised any, the slightest, mitigatien of the evil ; and hence much of the infelicity of the legislation on this sub ject. He would recommend that the prison at Park hurst should be turned into a penitentiary for the reception of that immense class of offenders called juve nile misdemeanants, who ought not to be called offenders at all, but deal; with as an unfortunate class of persons thrown upon this country for protection. Under the 'present system of prison discipline, virtue was degraded lay being placed on a per with crime, and crime was dig nified by being put on a par with virtuous misfortune. He should have much pleasure in voting for the amendment before the House. Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY entirely concurred with all that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Montrose ori this question. It was the great mass of juvenile de linquency that they had to deal with. In the gaol of Bolton, which he was in the habit of visiting, there were from three hundred to four hundred young persons confined, from thee to twelve years of age, and most of whom were committed to gaol eight or ten times in the course of a twelvemonth. They could obtain no means of livelihood when they came out of prison, from the bid character which attached to them, and they had no alternative but to commit fresh depredations, so that they mhsht be again taken to prison, or starve. The dealing with that class of persons was a most important question even in a pecuniary point of view for this country; and there was no way of dealing with it• satisfactorily and effectually but by a well-digested scheme of edu cation. his. WODEHOUSE gave it as his opinion that this question had been too long delayed, and hoped it would be taken vigorotbly up by the Government on the coup mencement of another session. Sir JOHN FAKING TON said the separate system of imprisonment was at variance with our common law. Of all tho systems of prison discipline the separate system was the very bast that had yet been discovered; yet at the same time he could not help regarding it with very great jealousy and doubt. It had been said the sepa rate system made very good prisoners, but not very good men after they were released. He thought this a proper subject for a Committee of Inquiry, and he would vote for the motion of the Hon. Member for Lambeth, but on this understanding, that by doing so, he did not wish to imply any reflection on the separate system. After a few words from Sir GEORE GREY, who explained with reference to giving his assent to a Commit tee of Inquiry, that the Committee would not be limited to the consideration of one system only of prison discip line, but would embrace a liberal consideration of the whole question. Sir HENRY HALFORD, - in deference to the wishes of the House and of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, would withdraw his amendment, but on the understanding that the same objections should prevail against the motion of the Hon. Member for Lambeth. Mr. C. PEARSON rose to reply. The separate system was one of great cruelty, and had the effect of increasing the number of criminals. Under this system no hard labour was allowed; the only approach to it was a crank wheel, at which ten persona worked, this being just the amount of labour to employ the mind. Education was the great work carried on there, as appeared from the examination of a visiting magistrate at one of those establishments. The prisoners were too well treated It would be seen that a'great number of offences against the prison discipline consisted of destroying the food which had been given them in too great quantities. It was not right to inflict a punishment upon a man which left him at the end ut the punishment less able to earn an honest living then he wa. before, and this was the effect of the .epArate system. He was prepated to prove that whatever might be the effect of the grega rious system, they were not to be compared with th ose of the separate system, against which he raissd his voice. At Reading gaol, where they had a trades instructor dressed out in all ►the accoutrements &official dignity, the whole amount of the year's labour in the gaol Was 61. 2s. Bd. The flight Hon. Baronet had told them the cost had been 2001. 1;)r cell, but ha thought the Right Hon. Baronet was wrong ; that might be the first cast, but many ad ditieus 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 had yards to exercise in, and contrivanc,s by which, it it rained or the sun shone too stron 4 ly on them, they could cover thernsPlves, and walk without allowing the wind of heaven to blow too roughly upon them. The great 'ernes of Howard, Rrmilly, and Bentham had been lued in favour of this system. Bat he could not think that this was fair. It was not un lik e ly that M the voluminous works of gentlemen som e sentences might b e Caught up ' and converted into .arguments favour of this system. It the H. ouse would give him a Committee on this suh)ect he w„,,14, atake his seat in it upon the fict of proving till that he had starred. He would not divide the House upon his motion on the present occasion, but he would in the first wee& of the next session renew the motion in its present shape. During the ensuing recess he should visit soma of the principal towns in the kingdom, in order to ascertain their opinions upon the subject. After scm observations from Viscount BARRINGTON and Sir J. PARINGTON, the motion was withdrawn. BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT MEMBERS BILL. The Rouse then resolved itself into Committee on this Bill. Mr. GOULBURN objected to the further proceeding with the Bill. He thought 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 the payment of debts of Members, but leave them in that respect on the same footing as other persons. Mr. FIUME took the same view of the subject. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought such a pro ceeding would be worse than the one proposed, for a Member might be arrested and 19ft in prison, and his constituents remain altogether unrepresented. Mr. C. WYNN thought they were proceeding rather too fist. If they passed the present Bill they would place themselves in an Inferior position to the other House of of Parliament. He thought the further consideration of the Bill should be suspended, and that a resolution should be passed to the effect that they would not enforce their privilege of freedom from arrest. Mr. LAW moved that the Chairman report progress. —(Loud cries of "Divide, divide.") After some discussion, Mr. MOFFATT appe iled to th e law officers of the Crown to state their opinions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought it would be well that the Chairman should report progress. The galleries were cleared, but no division took place, the ca9tion being agreed to. . _ The House resumed, the CJIAIIINAN reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. BENEFICES IN PLURALITY BILL. Mr. FREWEN moved the second reading of this Bill, and stated that its object 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 number of plurali ties granted since the Act. He opposed the Bill because it recognised the existence of pluralities, which he con • id ered should not long• r exist. Sir G. GREY was not prepared to assent to the Bill, the principle of which the Hots. Gentlemen had not stated. The only restriction proposed to be introduced by this Bill over the present system was in regard 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 Bill —Bill accordingly withdrawn. GENERAL AND QUARTER, SESSIONS. The House went into C.)mmittee on this Bid. Mr. BAINES said that he proposed to establish an official board by which the claims of one parish upon another might be enforced; and this he proposed to do by an order of the magistrates of the Quarter Sessions, equivalent in those respects to an order of the Court of Queen's Bench. This he would,do by striking out the 16th clause altogether, and making such an alteration in the 17th clause as would render it applicable to all purposes. The 16th clause was then struck out. Mr. BAINES then proposed the words by which this alteration was to be effected. After a few observations from Mr. W. Miles, who called the attention of the Attorney-General to the subject, and some observations in reply from Mr. Baines, with a suggestion from Mr. Beckett Denison, the clause, with the amendment of the Learned Commissioner, was passed. On the 18.11 clause being read, Sir J. DUCKWORTH suggested that in cases of bastardy, after the evidence of the woman had 13 , en given, that an opportu.nity should be afforded to the putative father of making an appeal. It had happened that before the usual time for making the appeal the woman had died, and the man had no remedy, but had been saddled with the expenses without any prospect of remedy. Tne suggestion was adopted, and the words being embodied, the clause was passed. The other clauses of the Bill were then passed with out comment, and the Chairman was ordered to bring up the report to-morrow. The House then resumed. _ PROTECTION OF WOMEN BILL. Several petitions on th,s subject were presented from the women of Stroud by Itir. BIINBURY and other Members. Mr. SPOONER rose to move that this Bill be read a second time. In the first place this Bill originated and had come down from the /louse 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 these who bad 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 condemned by all the law Lords in another place.— (Hear, hear.) 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, fur it did not provide any punishment for any man having connexion with a woman.—(Great laughter.) It did not provide in any way for 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 against certain houses, and it was w t l known that these acts arose on; of false pretensions. It arose only out of a morbid feeling, and the passing of it would only gratify that feeling, 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 have had his best support. But seeing that nothing of the kind could be effected, that the law was already stringent enough, and if the magistrates refused to administer the law as it stood, hew could it be expected that they would pat a new statute into force. Seeing this, he should certainly divide the House on the question, and move that the Bill be read this day three months. Mr. HUME said that a certain religious society 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 vote with the Hon. Mem ber who had just sat down. Sir J. JEIiVIS said the Bill was not only directed against these who, fur lucre or gain, procured a carnal communication between any wan and any woman, but there must also be the consideration of lahe pretences. This Bill did not seem to him to be necessary, nor did he think it was at all calculated for the protection of women. He should certainly vote against it. After a few words of explanation, Mr. SPOONER proceeded to call the attention of the sti veizscOcovr vS case' wuICII lie lICA - U 111 1115 nand, of women having been seduced by false representations, and who were now sunk into the lowest rank of society. The object of the Bill was to put down all such traffic. The Hon. Gentleman quoted the autho rity of Mr. Baron Parke, that the present common law was not sufficiently comprehensive. He contended that the principle of the Bill would embrace many offances which now escaped unpunished, owing to the imperfect state of the law. After a few words from the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. ELLIS begged the House to allow the Bill to go into Committee. Mr. LAW hoped that the House would not thr ow out the Bill, imperfect as it was, because it was capable of great improvement, and had a most important object in view. Mr. NEWDEGATE 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 tor its object. If the Hon. Gentleman who had the charge of the Bill would give him an assurance that he would make its provisions effective, he would nut oppose the second reading of the Bill. _ _ Mr. SPOONER would most readily give the Right 11.41. Baronet the assurance he required. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 6 Against it ... 130 Majority against the amendment... On our admission to the gallery we found Mr. M. GII3SON on his I,gs, expressing a hope that as the Governmet had supported the second reading of the Bill, they would do all in their power to make it effective. -124 Mr. HUME thought the course pursued by the Go vernment was a strong proof of moral cowurdice. The ATTORNEY GENERAL defended the course pursued by the Government. After some observations from Mr. C. Anstey, Mr. H. Berkeley, and Mr. Spooner, Colonel SALWEY moved that the debate should be adjourned. Mr. HUME seconded the motion, and in the course of his speech, the hour of Six o'clock having arrived, the House adjourned amid much laughter. PRUSSIA. The trial of the political prisoners implicated in the affair of May was brought to a conclusion at Berlin on the evening of the 23d. The following was the sentence of the court :—A year's imprisonment against M. Gercke for violating a decree issued for the main tenance of the public safety; three months' imprison ment against the members of the Democratic Com• mittee, Schonemann, Cubitz, Herzfeld, Dr. Waldeck, Berends, Weiss, Koch, and Pfeiffer; Steide, Petersen, and Schildknecht were acquitted. AUSTKIA.

SURVEY OF THE SEVERN.—A " crow's nest," very similar in structure to that recently sees on the top of St. Paul's, has just been completed on the tower of Gloucester Cathedral, fur the purpose of taking obser vations for the survey of the river Severn, in accordance with a recommendation by the Admiralty surveyor on a preliminaryriet.hw,.improvement . i inquiry u o i f ry t upon he a navigationpro pos proposed t ß h i e l Bill s l o o v r e t r h n e . the to,;Vn house or cot,v, is raised to a considerable height thejathedral and is surmounted bya The survey, which ,!:`above z i j a n c .. hed by means of along ladder. made under the direction of erect a Weir, hat the Admi ralty Admiralty, will coraii'? whole of the estuary of r t y h . e influence of the the Severn, and all above itwtiteetst,, w tid as e, r e e x ee te n n tl d y in p g ro t p o o a se b d ove to Te At this point it ralty reported against it.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. • TIMES.—Ia Drury-lane, not quite a stone's throw from the Royal_ Italian Opera, is a spacious and gloomy pile, which still retains the traditionary name of a " Theatre Royal." In the last generation it was used for the legitimate drama ; and to keep up the prescription 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 some melancholy reflections on the fate of British talent and the woi th 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 " Prott ctinn Revived." As the story was founded on the Shaksperian 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. Unluckily 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 bility, under a canopy of all but unprotected calico, and on an 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 I 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 indeed any serious design in the ex hibition. There was nothing in the proceedings that bore any resemblance to this waking world. Though the sub ject was the present distress of the country and the most likely remedies, we did not hear from first to last the re motest allusion to those miserable realities with which we are actually surrounded. There was not a syllable 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 four years we have had to pay forty millions for foreign corn. which we should have had to pay, will, or ?all, under any legislation whatever, even if Lord Stanley had been leader in the Lords, Lord George Bentinck is the Commons, and both Houses had been under their thumbs. In fact, though some elaborate 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 if 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 stopped 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 our unparalleled calamities—would certainly learn nothing from yesterday's speeches, except that we had enjoyed an unbroken tenour of prosperity, and should still be en joying it but for free trade. • If in our remarks on such 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 not because they negatived the factious conclusions the movement was intended to palm on its dupes? A theory cannot be good for anything when it requires all the facts of the case to be k .pt out of sight. Happil3 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 presen case, a lunatic may think himself the victim of conspiracy, yet be quite harmless if he ceetent• himself with burning the effigies of his supposed enemies on paper. What is to be done to restore protection? Long did we wait for a reply. A list o' vice-presidents was read as long as Homer's catalogue of heroes and ships, and their names were freely offered in pledge for the reality of the undertaking. But what was the mode of operation? How was anything to be done? What was the first step? Nut subscriptions, for they were judiciously postponed till there shall be something to show for them. At last we seemed to hear something to the purpose. We could not be mis taken. A twofold 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 gether would set up the country. As the project was received with tremendous applause, and a thousand burly figures stood up to cheer the prin ciple of repudiation, we presume it was understood. For ourselves, we must confess to being rather in the dark. Is it seriously proposed by an association founded and governed by landlords, that the farmers shall bilk al' their creditors in order to give weight to their demand for a dissolution ? Or are they to escape payment of just claims by means of a general election ? Whae is the plan ? Good reader, do not perplex yourself ; there is no plln at all. These gentlemen are alt sound sleep. They know nothing, and mean nothing. They have not heard of the famine or the war, and then intentions are eq ua lly d ream y an d unreal.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—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 been freely followed by consumers, the result being a rise of if. 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 id. to id. per lb has been generally and firmly demanded; and merchants have found themselves obliged to accede to id. upon the limited transanctions of the day, in low numbers of water twist. Higher prices have also been obtained for 40's and 60's doubled; and the manufacturers of such goods as are at present in request, have shown a willingness to purchase at some further rise, but the India and China merchants, finding no encouragement to operate in the accounts j ust received, have stood aloof from the market. And the Germans, with their warehouses literally crammed, at lower prices, have folded their hands and ii ne nothing. However, encouraged by the comparative lightness of stocks in their own hands, the spinners have stood resolutely upon their advanced quotations, de termined that the miserable difference betwixt the price of cotton and 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-inch shirting 4, especially in 64 and 66 reeds, at some addition to the previous rates. And for other mark , :ts than those 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 of the day, however, both in goods and yarns have been restricted within narrow limits by the rise in prices. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a fair attend ance of buyers in the market to-day, but the business transacted has been much the same as the preceding Monday. The demand for kerseys has not been quite so gocd, but there is no change in prices. In the wool market there prevails the same inactivity, with no desire to purchase by the manufacturers, except for immedi ate use. HunnEnsrrELD, TIIIISDAL—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 German wools by the way of Hull, and they are necessitated to pay a much higher rate of carriage, in consequence of the blockad- of the Elbe. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--The improved inquiry for worsted goods, which we noticed in our last, has been sustained to-day ; 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. There is a good trade in yarns o. middle qualities; but not much doing in the lower counts, and mid less in high numbers. The wool market is more active; and prices are low, but steady.

Her main boom was broken ; but fortunately so as to attach her to the tube, and hold her fast until assistance could be rendered. Av LIo Luckily neither lives nor property to any extent were lost. It is said that she had refused the assistance of a steam tug ; notwithstanding which the company have guaranteed the expense of her repairs.

A public meeting was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, to determine on th:; most dejrable steps to ba takun for promotiu4 steam communication Auqralia; the Right Hon. the Earl Talbot iu tha chair. The CHAIRMAN expressed the great interest which he felt in the colony of Australia, which was growing day e by day ofgr ea t er i mportance, and therefore required a more ' direct steam communication with the mother country. One route suggested was by Singapore, another by the Cape of Good Hop e , an d a t hi r d by the Isthmus of Pa nacea and the Pacific; 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 left for after consideration. Their sole object now was to force upon the attention of the public and the Le .% gislature the necessity of a quicker communication 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 lin • ported from Sydney was 650 pounds, it had since then gradually increased until, in 1848, it amounted to 46,612 pounds. The exports from this country to Sydney of • German wool amounted to 17,000 bales. The whole of • the 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 crease by a rapid and more regular communication with England. ca, The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT, in rising to propose the first resolution, said that this important subject had been played with by the Government, that they had dealt with the dependencies of England as mere baubles and 1 % toys, and in a way totally inconsistent with the cha ranter of a great em pi re . E very one connected with x these colonies had felt the great inconveniences which 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 Treasury, and between the Treasury and the Exchequer iffice, until at last those who had subscribed their cspi• tAI, to carry out the object which they bad met to pro mote, turned away in disgust. It was calculated that each inhabitant of Australia consumed eight or ten pounds worth of goods, the produce of British industry, Nhile the inhabitants of foreign coup lies did not take • mere than at the rate of a shilling a head. The i'34 relationship between thes e t wo sums wou ld at ix ',we show the advantage which would arise Ai, from a more prompt intercourse, because by that means 2 34 they would offer an inducement to men of capital, intel ligence, and influence, to settle in Australia. With es. a little zeal, and energy, and determination, however, they might expect to ultimately force the Government to it grant them some assistance to accomplish that object. ! -- j The lion. Gentleman concluded by moving that the rapid 5% increase and importance of the Australian colonies ren -0 eered the establishment of a steam communication be tween them and England highly desirable. Lord LYTTELTON seconded the resolution. He had, some years ago, been connected with the administration of colonial affairs, and he had then seen enough to take a most lively interest in everything connected with the ce colonies, but more especially with Australia. There could be no more doubt that a steam communication would ultimately be established with Australia than that the sun would continue to rise. It would not only benefit this country, but would Effect a considerable . improvement in the political and social government of 1 14 the colony. Mr. AioNTGOMERY MARTIN supported the motion. He said that Australia was the only portion of our transmarine dominions which had no direct communi _ cation; and it was the only colony which had been called upon by the Government to contribute to the establishment of mail packets. India and North Ame rica had not been called upon to contribute a single shillieg towards such an object, and yet Australia had scarcely put the English Exchequer to any expense. The resolu ion was carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETRER proposed the next reso lution—" That the inhabitants of the Australian colo nies having, through the medium of their respective Legislative Assemblies, evinced the deepest anxiety to approximate their dependencies with England by steam, it is advisable to co-operate with them in this country 'or 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-extended plains in the rude productiveness of nature, ready to yield all the riches which they con tained, and waiting only for labour to be applied to them. Phe means of the country were unbounded, and there was scarcely anything useful which it could not produce if we transplanted there the skill and enterprise of the 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 effect that it was the opinion of the meeting, that an appeal should be made to the Government, and peti tions presented to Parliament, pointing out the expe diency on imperial as well as on colonial grounds, of establishing a direct system of communication between 34 this country and Australia. • The resolution was seconded by Mr. MACGREGOR, M.P., and carried. Mr. COMBE ordered that warrants for the immediate apprehension of the parties should be made out; and, being placed in the hands of Hardy, the officer, early in the morning he brought up Captain 34 , dr from his resi• dence, No. 26, Ric'.mond row, Islington, wh,o ho was ordered to find bail, himself in 2001. and two suretioF in 1001 each, which he instantly procured, and was liberated. Captain Shepherd, however, was not at his residence, No. 31, Shepp,rton-cottages, Islington, but the officer captured him in the course of the day at the Jerusalem eutfee-house, City, and brought him to the Court, when he was ordered to put in ba►l to the same amount, lie was detained until nearly the hour of closing the Court, when two ladies entered and became his bail, and he was liberated. WORSHIP-STREET. IMPORTANT APPLICATION.—Mr. stutfiold, 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, Mr. Birch, the resident medical officer, and Mr. William Nixon, secretary to that institution, attended to request the advice and assistance of Mr. Hamada in a matter seriously affecting the patients 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 effi.cting the abate ment of a complete nest of destructive nuisances which existed in the immediate neighbourhood of the institu tion to which they were attached, and the continuance of which, in the present heated state of the atmosphere, was productive of the most serious consequences. 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 del , terious character was carried on, comprising no less than nine bone boilers', and numerous animal charcoal burners', iur makers', knackers' yards (at one of which, directly lacing the hospital, an average Lumber of 100 horses were slaughtered weekly), and a patent concentrated manure manufacture on is most extensive 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, the union workhouse, and the parish schools, which respectively contained, the first 400 permanent inmates, the second 1,000, and the third 500, upon the average, that in some instances a distance of scarcely 30 yards intervened between them and the walls of the buildings. From all these premises the most injurious and offensive vapours were incessantly exhaling, which had such a pernicious ell ct upon the health of the inmates of the institution he had men tioned, that no fewer than 50 cases of diarrhcea, had oc curred almost simultaneously a short time since in the workhouse, 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 effects the effluvium 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 unfrequently fatally termi nated by erysipelas supervening though its agency, the inhabitants of the surrounding neighbourhood, 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 free 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 existed stood considerably higher in the scale of mortality than any other in the metropolis; and the perfect impunity with which these nuisances were permittetr was cuntnysty-ntustratErt—nrati adVt7itise-ment which appeared in several of the morning papers a few days since, in which the writer, in setting forth the un usual advantages effered by his premises, stated that in that locality any kind of business might be carried on, as nuisances were freely tolerated. Mr. Sturfield alsD 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 hospital, complained that he was compelled to keep his windows constantly closed to exclude the vapours arising from these factories, which were of such a mischievous description that two members of his fa mily were at that moment suffering from an incipient attack of cholera, by which he had also himself bee affected for several days. _ _ A resolution was then passed appointing a committee to carry out the objects of the meeting. Earl Talbot was compelled to leave the meeting be fore it terminated, owing to an engagement, and he was ,ucceeded in the chair by Sir W. .After it a vote or thanks to bo the meeting separzted. A great number of influential gentlemen were present, 'e• many of whom were largely interested in the colony of Australia. iose gene fenien, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEYS 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. LANES, BARRISTER. This was down in the cause paper for trial to-day; but 'o when called on it was announced that the action was withdrawn. It was an action brought by his Highness the Duke of Brunswick, to recover compensation in 7 34 damages for expressions uttered by the defendant, Mr. Edwin James, in the delivery of a speech to the jury in 5 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 to his character and feelings, and actionable. The point at issue excited considerable interest among the "gen tlemen of the long robe," and in the minds of the curious j in matters passing in Courts of law, involving the ques tions how far a barrister may go in attacking, in his forensic eloquence, the plaintiff or defendant against i whom he may happen to be engaged as counsel, and i v whether he is liable, if be pass a certain limit, to be pro. I 34 ceeded against by action, and subject to be amerced in I A, damages by the verdict of a jury for any imputations ?s which he may, i n hi s zea l, cast upon hi s c li ent ' s oppo -5% [lent, and for any tongue•flagellations which he may 73 r choose to inflict and delight to revel in. Both the public - and the profession were, however, disappointed, and the 5414 question, " like Maho met ' s coffin between heaven and s. earth," is poised in doubt. 4 HOARE V. COUPLAND. ) Mr. Carter and Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plain -314 tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee for the defendant. - This was an action of libel, brought by a lady whose 6 d name has been muc h b e f ore t h e pu b l i c, to recover da• t 2 wages for a libel on her, in ser t e d i n the Hampshire Ad 7, vertiser, of which the defendant is the proprietor. The oa libel in question gave t h e report o f a tr i a l at C roydon 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 corn -6s mented on the trial and on the plaintiff's conduct. In dthe course of its comments it employed ,som e vitupera zu tive and slanderous epithets to the plaintiff. This was 6d the libel in question.

Mr. Birch then called a poor woman tenanting a house next to one of the bone-boiler's premises, who described tEe 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 eff,ct; but Mr. HAI%LMILL considered it unnecessary at present to hear their evidence, and directed Inspector Ellis to put himself into immediate communication with Dr. Letheby, the eminent professor of chemistry, and Mr. Byles, the surgeon of the district, who tendered their services in effecting the suppression of these grievances, and whose joint representations, in conjunction with the board of guardians, would, notoubt, have the de sired effect. LAMBETH. Yesterday a person named Blakeborough appeared be fore Mr. Norton to answer a summons taken out against him at the instance of the guardians of the parish of St. Mary's, Newington, and charging him with keeping a number of swine, to the danger of the health of the in habitants of the neighbourfne d. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner kept a number of pigs in front of John -street, VValworih•com mon, and three or four of the inhabitants who live oppo site were called to prove the place was an intolerable nuisance. The appearance of the witnesses was quito 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 d e t r i menta l to pu b lic health. Mr. Tailor, a member of the board of guardians, said that a number of fever cases had been admitted into the workhouse from the locality, and described the premises of the defendant as most injurious to public health. Mr. Games, who appeared on behalf of the defendant, urged several technical objections to the summons; but they were all overruled by Mr. Norton, who made an order for the imm, diate removal of the nuisance.

CL - ERKENWELL. Yesterday, Captain Henry Bonham Shepherd, a mili tary officer in the East India Company's service, was brought up in the custody of John Hardy, 2u5 S, on a warrant, and placed before Mr. Cornbe, char s ed on the oath of Mrs. Helen Moir, wile of Captain John M. Winter Moir, a naval officer in the same company's service, fur that, in c4JrisE (pence of a letter written end signed by the said Henry Bonham Shepherd to her said husband, with intent to incite him to fight a duel with him ; and further, that in consequence of a meeting in a street in Islington between her husband and the said Henry Bonham Shepherd, at which she was present, and wherein the latter made reference to the said letter, which was previously kept by her from the knowledge of 11,r husband, and also he then called her husband a blackguard and coward, she was apprehensive that a duel would take place between them, and she gave the information to prevent such breach of the peace. The dispute which gave rise to this unpleasant affair, originated from a private family matter, the particulars of which did not transpire in court. Captain Shepherd, it appears, is brother-in-law of Captain Moir. SANATORIUM IN THE ISLAND THE OPUNTIt 1' MARKETS. NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 26.—There is about 500 beasts on offer here to-day, including 150 from Edin burgh, and the counties on the north-eastward of Scotland, by sea. From the border counties there was a considerable fall ing off. As a whole, the quality of the cattle is decidedly above an average for the time of year. With sheep and lambs the supply is again large. The former is good M quality, but the latter is very indifferent. As regards the demand, the beef trade is by no means to call brisk; yet, all kinds are making more money, especially small cutters, and all will be sold. The number of sheep and lambs, 6,400; both descriptions of stock is a slow sale, and prices are ruling in favour of the buyer, with a considerable quantity of each remaining unsold.

OF MADEIRA. A public meeting was held on Monday at the Hano ver-square Rooms, for the purpose of forming an insti tution for the reception (in the island of Madeira) of perolis labouring unchr Pulmonary disorders. The Right Honourable Lord Robert Grosvenor was in the chair. Not more than twenty persons were present. The institution is intended fur those who, being uni,ble to defray the whole expenses incident to a removal from EittJind and a residence the requisite time in Madeira, would yet gladly avail themselves of the advantages of that health-giving climate, and pay the expense of the voyage at a reduc-d rate, were they sure of finding on their arrival lugging, service, and medical attendance free of charge, Lai comfortable board upon the most moderate fixed terms. The NOBLE CIIAIRNAN said the claims of the in stitution, for the purpose, of introducing which to the notice and support of the public they had assembled together, were very strong. We had hospitals for almost every disease to which human flesh is heir, and the patents of which received the best possible me dical assistance, but with respect to that class of diseases, namely, pulmonary- disorders so pr( valent in a change able climate like ours, little or no prevision of a benevolent character had been secured. He had not in his possession the precise statistical information relative to the numerical prevalence of such diseases, but all present must be aware that they formed a very large proportion of the disorders with which English men were unfortunately afflicted. The great changes of our climate, the over•toil of a large class of the community, and of our defective sanitary measures, caused many persons to fall victims to the diseases he had referred to, and he felt satisfied that when the lin gering character of this malady was taken into conside ration, the meeting must be of his opinion, that an insti tution having for its obj. et the means of alleviating, if not of entirely removing this distres.ing complaint, was eminently deserving of public sympathy and support. But what wNs the fact ? That until within a short time there was not a single hospital in existence for the relief of patients afflicted with that most prevalent cora plsint, and no provision whatever had been made for atfurding the patients the advantages of a more genial climate, lie was, however, happy to say that there had recently been established an excellent institution for the relief of pulmonary disorders, and he was happy to say that the objects of the two institutions did not in the least militate against each other. The hospital he had just spoken of contemplated the relief of the poorer classes, while the Madeira Sanitorium proposed to give relief to those who were able partially to help themselves; and he telt assured that as there were but few families in the country which had escaped this direful affliction, so it but required an appeal to the British public to render this (he would not say charily, but) institution as effi cient as it was humane in design. Mr. HEALEY, the secretary, read the report, which stated that a committee had been formed in the town of Funchal for the purpose of assisting the proposed in stitution. The Dean of ELY, in a short but very effective speech, proposed the followin g resolution:—" That this meeting concurs in the opinions of that held at Madeira, as to the desirabloness of making the advantages 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 unanimously. 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 committee, for the purpose of carrying into effect the object in view." Mr. OLIVEIRA. seconded the motion, which was also carried. A committee was then appointed, and a vote of thanks having bee❑ given to the Chairman and duly acknow ledged, the meeting broke up.
