IMPERIAL PARLIAMEI T. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 6. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Clauses up :o 9 were agreed to without discussion. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. R. PALMER suggested that a Committee should be appointed to settle the law of bribery and treating at elections. At present the law was so undefined that las' session two Election Cu•mmittees came to different conclusions upon the same point. If they lett the law in the state which this clause devised they would find that at the neat election the waits of every town would be placarded by the orders of the several candidates, stating from each that extensive bribery and treating was going on, and that his oppo nent, if elected, would be incompetent to sit in the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) His opinion was that the decision on the Cheltenham election was cor rect; and he firmly believed, that unless a notice was rightly given so as to impart a sufficient knowledge in all cases of the real facts of the case to the electors, the votes given for the candidate who obtained the majority oug4t not to be struck off—(Hear, hear.) Unless some system was adopted the whole of the mischief which this Bill was intended to obviate would be as rite as ever at the next election. _ . . Mr. BUNBURY trusted that this clause would be maintained, but with the addition suggested by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Goalburn) and with that also proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member for Ply mouth (Mr. Roundel' Palmer). It those alterations were made they would confer a great benefit upon the whole constituency of the country. In reply to the CHAIRMAN, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said that ho desired to postpone the clause until he could give it a careful e,n sideration, and with a view to embody the two sugges tions which had itiAt been made. Lord MAHON quite concurred in the wisdom of adopting the suggestions which had been made, but thought that the Bill should have a title of a less comprehensive character than that a hieh it now bore. He thought there could be no objection to adopt the course suggested by the Hon. Baronet, viz., to with draw the clause for the present. As the greater por tion of the Bill bad been amended and much of it omitted, and very properly omitted, he thought the Bill ought to be reprinted, and the title and preamble ought to be altered, as in its present form it seemed too com prehensive.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) After a few words from Mr. G. J. HEATHCOTR and Mr. ARMSTRONG, the clause was poitponed. Clauses 10 and 11, and the preamble of the Bill, were then agreed to, the House resumed, and the report was brought up and ordered to be received this day week. AFFIRMATION BILL.. Upon the order of the day being read for resuming the adjourned debate on the third reading of this 8111, Mr. LAW rose, amidst loud cries of "Divide, divide," and said if the measure were passed it would at once defeat all the beneficial influence exercised by our courts of justice.—(Hear.) Where there was not a substantial reason to the contrary, the de fendant and plaintiff, both in a civil and a criminal court, had a right to the testimony of any witness who could speak to the matter in hand, upon a most solemn assur ance of his veracity in giving such testimony. That a man was to present himself attested to have a good cha racter by one witness and a good' half-crown, and that a plaintiff was to be deprived of the benefit of his testi mony, was ridiculous. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the third reading of the Bill 73 Against it Majority for the third reading On the question tha. , . the Bill pass, Mr. NEWDEGATE submitted if this Bill was good it tended to the abolition of all oaths—(Hear, hear) — and the sooner all oiths were abolished toe better. Mr. LAW said this was a measure which struck at the root of the testimony given in a court of justice, which went far not only to relieve thoe who might pro • fess 'tender consciences on that tuject, and to Ore ge nuine and true tes'..imuay its a*co - art of ju.,tice, but it went and carried with it. an expresion of opinion by the House of Commons, that evid- nce given under a le.s.sacc atm than that of an oath was entitled to equal weiget with evidence given on oath.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite satisfied that "thc.se who were canccried in tee administration of public justice would feel that that was a blow struck at the heart of that jusice.— (Cheers.) This he knew, that the mosth4rdened criniirrNl had frequently shrunk rom giving that testimony upon oath which might release those who stood beside him in the' dock from the consequences of conviction, who had before that test was applied distinctly alleged that the men who sto d V him were not the companions of his guile.—(Bear, hear.) An matinee occurred not long ago. A party was charged with the commission of house-breaking in connexion with two other individuals. The d , fence was an alibi. The party pleaded guilty, and solemnly asserted that he was not one companion of the men who stood beside him. The prisoner, however, evinced the greatest reluctance to take the oath, but when he did take it he swore thit the parties were nut those who were with him; but nothing could elicit from him who the parties were. Again, he had seen a change in witnesses when reminded that they were making a solemn declaration, and to be careful what they said, and the truth was re luctantly elicited. They had absolved many sects from taking oaths, they hart done .10 whether right or wrong, but he saw no reason why thee with whom this Bid prof:-seed to deal, who were members of the Church of England, should hay? the same privilege extended to them.—(Hear, hear.) But a person knowing that his testimo4 would affect some one whom he wished to serve, would give his testimony more loosely than if under the solemnity of an oath.—(Hear, hear.) Why a man's • life - might be taken away on testimony adduced without the security of an oath. But he put it on h; odder grounds. Juries would be constantly afikPd, " Will you give the same weight to the testimony of an ucsworn witness as to that of one given on oath—the testimony of one the principles of whose church- recognised the taking of oath.;" and the results would show the force of such an argument. Experience, which extended over a period of twenty years in the immediate administration of justice, induced him to call upon the House not to agree to the dangerous principle invelvod in the 1111.—(-tear, hear.) Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said his experience at the 31 insion•bouse and the Gal th offices led him to the belief that the principle they were about to intr duce would be fraught with the utmost danger to the proper administration of j+istice. H. had di tided against the Bill, and he should do so again if an opportunity were afforded him. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the passing of the Bill Against it Majority . The Bill WAS aCeorilingly pasaed. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, when the wnole of the clauses were agreed to without tai cussion. _ _ The House then resumed, the Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Friday. AFFIRMATION BILL. Mr. LAW called the attenti!,n of the House and the Speaker to the fact that the title of this Bill had not begin agreed to, and submitted that an irregularity had been committed that could not now be remedied. The Bill, indeed, had been ordered to be sent up to the Lords wi , tieut any title. The. ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested that al though other business bad intervened since the passing of the Bill, the title might now be added as a matter of form. Mr. MILES would be glad to know from the Speaker himself if the question, that the title be agreed to, had been put. The SPEAKER replied that his impression was that it had, and he was justified in that impression by the Clark, who had a distinct recollection of the circum• stance. _ _ _ Mr. BOUVERIE said he could not take his oath of it, buthe believed the question had not b , en put.—(A laugh.) The SPEAKER said, at all events the Bill had not been signed by the clerk, and therefore it was not too late to add the title. Mr. LAW, under these circumstances, would with draw his objection, and allow the title to be added, and the matter dropped. COPYHOLDS ENFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Mr. AGLIONBY, in moving the s.-cond reacting of this Bill, excused his being the promoter of it on the ground that he tried in vain to induce the Govert.ment, in whose hands it ought to be, to take up the subject. The Bill was founded on the recommendatiop oifal, ltt)d Com mittee which fully considered the matter inB4 who repeated, that if such a me asure would only h av e tale effect of relieving the poor copybolders of the country from the extertion to which they were ;object under the existing law, it would be a sufficient justification for passing it. The present law restricted building and agricultural improvements in those parts of the country where the copyhold system pre vailed, and that was another reason which had induced him to introduce the Bill. He re gretted to see that the Right Honourable Baronet the Member far Tamworth was not in his place, because he attended that Committee most assiduously, and expressed his views in a very liberal and statesmanlike manner. He hoped that the system for voluntary enfranchisement would receive some encouragement. The property held under the Church had been especially open to the conferrence of this benefit, but a very small portion of the very large property held under the most objectionable tenure of p ecclesiastical jurisdiction had been volunurily enfranchised. Nine years had already elapsed since the plan of voluntary commutation had enjoyed the benefit of legal c.,un tenance, and but little property had been placed in the improved position which the Legislature contemplated. and he thought that it was high time that sumo change should be accomplished. The Hon. and Learned G. n tleman then read some considerable extracts from the report of the Commissioners, and then proceeded - to say that his chief ground arose out of the recom mendations which would be found in that re port, and he thought that little further was necessary to support his view of the matter. T wo Bill. had already been introduced for the same purpo-e, but the second of these Bills was intended to promote a com pulsory enfranchisement throughout the e :tele country, and with this he could net at all agree. f he other Bill was introduced by the Lord Chancellor, rued he truated that he should not be deemed guilty of pi e,umption in following such an authority. lie baJ adopiA a great number of the earlier clauses of that Bid, and in doings () he might rath e r be accused of plagiarism than of want of consideration.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.) rhe Chancellor's Bill proposed that toe cost of enfranchisement should fall equally upon the landlord and the tenant. This he thought unjust, and he had therefore omitted it. The other clauses were in perfect accordance with the usual and recognised principles in similar matters. He would now state the reasons why he wished to carry out this very important measure. The first of these was the impossibility of retaining these tenures. The House was not to suppose that he was a violent or an interested partizan. He was the copyholder in three different manors in Cumberland, and the tenures were so disgusting that he . should be _glad o t quit of them. The p r es ent system pre vented the free use of skill. and capital for the im provement of land, and it was the cause of positive distress and ruin to hundreds of families. To be sure Cumberland was in a worse condition in this respect that other parts of the country, but every where the te eure of copyholds was objectionable. lie had no hesi taion, therefore, in asking the House to assent to the second reading of this BM. Mr. HEATHCOTE thought such a measure as thi: was better in the hands of Government than in those of any private Member of the House. This Bill was an extremely one-sided measure; it was compulsory upon the lord of the manor, and not upon the tenant, who had joint interests. Was it right where two parties bed a joint interest for one to force the sale of the property, without the consent of the other? He thoueht the Bill was in many respects a very unfair one, though he had no wish to divide the House upon it. Mr. TURNER was very well disposed towards ' any es elleiaatured change in the law relating to the .tenure of copyholds; and he would now inti mate that unless her Majesty's Ministers brought forwatd some measure with a view to remodel and improve the Courts of Equity in this or the ensuing session, he would feel is his duty to introduce a Bill haviue, that end himt,elf.—(Hfar, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Aglionby) had complained of the fines leviable on copyholds; but he (Mr. Turner) would ask, did not the owner of a copyhold estate purchase subject to those fines, and was not his purchase money so much the less in consi deration of those fines?—(Hear, hear.) He considered the present Bill objectionable as holding to a one-sided tenure, and as depriving the lord of the manor of many of his just rights. No such measure of this kind ought to be passed exclpt upon the ground of general policy, a case in support of which his Hon. and Learned Friend had failed to show. On the ground of the impolicy of the interference of Parliament by commission, he hoped the House would reject the Bill, and begged, therefore, to move that it be r'ad a second time that day six months.—(Cries of "Divide.") The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he felt it his duty to support the Bill. It embodied some of the pro visions of a Bill introduced last session, but not carried, which had been approved of "by the Lord Chancellor, and seemed likely to work well. Mr. AGLION - BY replied, and expressed a hope that Hon. Members would assent to the second reading, and defer their objections until the Bill was in Committee. Mr. TURNER withdrew his amendment, and sho . uld reserve his objections until the Bill was in Committee. The amendment was consequently withdrawn. Mr. G. BERKELEY said, if the Hon. Member would divide he should do so, and begged to move that the Bill be read a second time that day. six months. The House then divided, when there app2ared— For the second reading 80 Against it ... ..• ••• 55 ... Majority ... ... —25 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be ctmteitted. TENANTS AT RACK-RENT RELIEF BILL. On the motion for the considertion of this Bill as mettle& Mr. SPOONER moved that the whole rate, instead .f half the rate, p4yable for the erection of lunatic asy lutns, be deducted from the rent. The motion was agreed and the report received. HIGHWAYS (ANNUAL RETURNS) BILL. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be c ~Lrtitttd. SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. On the motiou for the srcond reading of this Bill, Mr. WILLYAMS thought the measure mischievous and unw,cessary, and. moved that it be read a second time that dal - ,ix months. Mr. MACKINNON said the Bill had twice pissed the House•of Lords, and he saw no rei&ou «hy it should not hf? read a second t;me now. 1 - Mr. THORNELY did rot think the whole subject of imolte nuisance throughout the country could be dealt with in one general Bin. It would be much better to kive the manageoain' of the smoke to the , municipal au' htrities of f art) t. ,, Art The ATTORNEY-GENERAL remarked that the suggestion eoWd be csri i, d out in Committee. Mr. BRIGHT had *always opposed this 1111, believing thatgeneral legislation on the subject was impracti c,ble. Such measures as these were really sentimental and imaginary, and could be of no possible use if passed by the House. Mr. BROWNE gave it as his opinion that a general measure like this 'ought not to be agreed to till science had discovered some remedy for the smoke nuisance. Mr. MUNTZ would be glad to support this Bid if he thought it could be pr tctically carried out, but the cir cumstances in whic', manufacturers were placed in va rions parts of the country were so clitt!rent that it was absolutely impossible to deal with all cases by one ge neral measure. The House then divided, when there appeared— In favour of the second reading .. 72 Against it ... ... ... ... 37 Majority in favour of the Bill —35 The Bill was then rrsd a second time. COMMI r fEE OF SUPPLY. The order of the day for going into Commil tee Supply was read, and the Committee postponed - till Friday. SHEEP STEALERS (IRELAND) BILL. The Hou•e tni:u i.ent two Committee on this Bill, and with some desultory ooservaiions, which would be ptlfeetly unintelligible to our readers without a copy of the Bill b, fire them, in the course of which• Mr. Grainger, the At , orney- General, Mr. Keogh, and several Members took part, the Bill Fussed through Committee. WAYS AND MEANS. The CummittE e i,n_Ways and Means was postponed. SILVEIi COINAGE. The Bill for regulating the silver coinage then wcnt through COmmittee without opposition, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday. YEN i'ILATION OF MINES. _ _ Mr. AGLIONBY, in the ab6enee of Mr. DuncomlP, who was prevented attending the House from ill hearth, obtained have to bring in a Bill to provide for the beet, r ventilation of mines and collieries, for the protec tion of the lives of the persons employed in and skill( the sumo, and to make other provisions rotating thereto, STN. DISTRICT CHAPELS IN IRELAND. Mr. NAPII4.;ft obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to the endowment of district chapels in Ireland. The House adjourned at Ten Minutes to Six o'clock. THE DERBY CASUALTIi:S —We regret to have to noice ano her accident on the Derby-day, arising from culpable rie,ligence and furious driving. Dr. Hunter Lane, of Erook• street, Grosvenor- square, was returning on toot from visiting a pa.ient at Clapham Rise, when happening to be next to the road, he was struck in the back by the shaft of a carman's cart in driving past at a reckless rate; and being knocked down, the wheels went over his legs, whilst his head was under the body of the vehicle. His escape from being crushed to death was most miraculous. THE SERPENTINE RIVER.-It is pleasing to ob serve that this extensive piece of water, contributing so largely as it does to the beauty of Hyde Park and Ken sington Gardens, and to the enjiyment and recreation ( - 1 so large and important a portion of the metropolitan population, is now restored to its purity and wholesome ness. Dr. Tilt has at least done this good by his last year's pamphlet; he has obtained from the Woods and Forests the partial closing of the sewer which used to empty itself into the Serpentine, and also a much greater supply of water, which the Earl of Carlisle, according to Dr. DLL's suggestion, now causes to be drawn from Trafalgar-square. From the wholesome condition of the water, the watermen now find a daily increase of em ployment; and the amateur rowers resume thsir health oil exercise and enliven the so , ne_ by calling into requi sition the various light snd elegant boats which are afloat, in con,tant reainess. RAILWAY TO GALWAY —There wits a numerous meeting in the Town Court-house of Galway on Thursday, at which the principal inhabitants attended. Resolutions were adopted approving of the arrangement entered into be tween the directors of the Midland Great Western, the Gal . w_ ay deputation, and her Majesty's Government, and pledg ing the meeting to afford their best co-operation and aid to t wads the undertaking. e n m s: - -TeHe re wUenforcl t b Jo o O n a ot cH remember a h season it a r p n p a l e l b s i a o y s sso— " e Tun do m was more abund an t ; indeed, the pre sent remarkable lux ur i ance in ttlis respect , and gardens give so very favourable an account or the pet, but we canno t fruit, too, has suck. red severely from the un pear trees.

E M BARKATION OP TROOPS AT GRAVESEND Tuesday morning a detachment of the 29th Regiment (,Worcestershire), consisting of 3 sergeants and 235 rank and tile, with 16 women and 20 children, arrived at Gravesend by the Rochester and Gravesend Railway, from Chatham garrison, and embarked from the Custom-bouse-quay, in boats, on board the ship Minden, 916 tons burden, Captain Robert Crawford, for the presidency of Bengal ; with the above detachment six men of the Hon. East India Com pany's Service, from Warly Barracks, also embarked. In command of the troops are the following officers, who &so proceed to India :—Brevet-Major Arthur Sir George H. Stepney, Lieutenant H. G. Colvill, Ensign William Con- grave, and Ensign T. Brown, of the 29th Foot. The day previous the Commandant of the garrison at Chatham, Col. James Simpson, with his Brigade-Major (Captain J. S. Wood), inspected the ship, its provisions, and berths allotted for the troops during the voyage. ---.. . . . . LUDICROUS IiILfTAKR.- - -A good lady, who had two children sick of the nr2asle, , went to a friend fur the best remedy, while the friend had just received a note from another lady inquiring the way ,to make pickles. In the confusion, the lady who had inquired about the pickles received the remedy for the measles, while the anxious mother of the sick children read the following: —Sc them three or f, , ir times in hot vinegar, and sprinkle them well with sal., and in a few days they will be cured. GLASGOW. —THE WEATHER.—On Thursday, a con?iderable quantity of rain fell ; but yeeteritsy there was a recurrence of the beautiful weather which pre vailed during the early part of the week. The vantity of rain which fell on Thursday, succeeded by gt-ii•al sun shine, inu.t have a very beLetiJial effect on the crops,— North British Mail. L 0 TeAT, T) 0 N., :,TATE OF MAD,. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAX.—Tho growing firmness which was perceptible in our market last week, has been still more apparent to-day, accompanied with some in crease of business. This is partly attributable to the generally favourable commercial advices from India, and parly, also, to the continued tendency of cotton to rise in the American markets; something is likewise attributable to the postponement of business during the holidays. The buyers of yarns have been more disposed to operate than they were a week ago, and purchases of fair aggrugate amount have been effected for India, bar the European continent, and for other quarters, as well as for home manufacture. For some kinds rather higher prices have been demanded, and, indeed, partially ob tained upon India qualities of 40's to 60's mule, and upon doubled yarns up to lOU's. In prices at large, however, it cannot be sail that any positive advance has taken place, though in many in stances buyers have acceded to terms which they declined a few day since. There has been an increased inquiry for wide skirtings on Indian account, and the makers have asked rather higher prices. Upon some d scriptions of light prin ters, a small advance his been realised. And we are glad to find that there has been a little more doing in d anes tics adapted to the home trade. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a very dull market to-day; indeed, but few buyers have attended. In wool, there has been very little doing; the manufac• turn purchase very sparingly, and prices are much the same as they were the preceding Monday. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—A fair amount of busi ness continues to be done, and several orders in hand are waiting for completion. The holidays of last week caused the warehouses to be rather dull. The wool market is steady, and some sorts are a little improved in price. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Neither in plain nor figured worsted goods is there any change for the better, tither as regards demand or pric.. Iu yarns, there is more tioing for export, the shipping houses having given out their orders more freely, but prices are rather droving. Wool is inactive, and the quotations have still a down ward tendency. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market for woollens remains fl a. The business done to-day is very trifling in amount, and the worst anticipations prevail respecting the future of the woollen trade. FRAN CE. The service for the repose of the soul of the Em press Josephine, in the Church of Buell, WAS cele brated yesterday, as in former years. The village was filled at an early hour by people flowing in every minute from Paris and all the sur rounding country. The church was soon completely crowded. In the nave were ranged the National Guard of Rueil and a battalion of the 2d Regi ment of Line, and in the two side aisles the bands of the two corps played alternately pieces of sacred music appropriate to the occasion. In the choir and the chapels at each side of it were a number of persons known for their attachment to the deceased, the Emperor Napoleon and their families, Among them were the orderly officers of the President of the Republic; the son of General Lepic, of the 041 Guard, M. Laity, author of the pimphlet condemned by the Chamber of Peers. Dr. ntleau, the companion in exile of Louis Napoleon, the Prefect of the Seine- et-Oige,manyold soldiers ofthe Em pire, and persons who had been in the households of the Emperor and Empress and Queen Hortense, and with them Archambault who received the last sigh of the Emperor at St. Helena. The President of the Re public was expected, but was prevented from attend ing, as it is said, by atiiirs of state; but he sent several of his carriages. He, however, had gone on the preceding evening to pray at the tomb of the Empress. THE INSURRECTION IN BADEN. The revolutionary Gazette of the Baden insur rection publishes a maiiifesto of the Commander of the insurgent forces, Lieutenant Siegel, in which he sets forth the reasons which lead him to prepare to attack the Electorate of Hessen. A collision of the insurgents with the tro3ps of Prussia abd of the Em pire is daily expected. AUSTRIA. Besides the administration of the police and of the posts in Gallicia and the Bukovina being given to the Russians, General Ilimmerstein, the military Go vernor of Gallicia, has been instructed by an auto graph letter from the Austrian Emperor to place him-elf and his forces under the direct command of the Rus. , ian General Paskiewitsh. _ The Queen of Greece arrived at Vienna on the evening of the 31st ult. • Our accounts from Debreczin are that M. -Sz , E_•mere the Hungarian Premier, has sent Commissioners to all counties which are threatened by the approach of the Imperialist and Russian armies, investing them with unlimited powers, and giving them instruction, of great severity. The counties which are at a dis tance from the scene of war are placed under the jurisdiction of the usual civic authorities. The cl-Tg) of all sects are wandering about the country in their clerical costumes, and preaching a crusade. against the tOreign invaders. A report of M. Messaros (late Minister of War) states that the Hungarian army, including the lie corps, amounts to 396.000 organized troops. T. these will be added the 50,000 fresh levies which tli, Debreczin Parliament lately voted. These troops are divided into 11 corps, and commanded by the follow ing Generals :—Bem, a Pole ; Georgey, an Hungarian; Darnianitsh, a Croat ; Perca.l, an Hungarian ; Guyon en Irishman ; Klapka, a Raze; Dannemberg, en Hungarian from St. Mikolz ; Gaspar, a Slowake; Vetter, an Hungarian; and Aulich, a German. Their cavalr . consist of 27 regiments of regulars, each of 2,000 to 2 400 men, and •of 40,000 irregulars. They have 408 pieces of artillery, most of which are 12 and I B=pounders. In the sitting of the Hungarian Parliament at Debrecsin of the 14th ult., the Speaker, M. Arna , hv, addressed the House, and after referring to the well known breach of the national privilege of the family of Hapsburg-Lorraine and of its expulsion from ,ffice, he informed them that the Governor during the interregnum, the man whom the House and the people bad elected to that post of trust and import. ante, that M. Ludwig Kossuth was prepared to assume the office of the First Magistrate of Hun gary, and to take his oath of allegiance to the nation. Upon this Ludwig Kossuth, the Governor of Hun gary, took the following oath :—" I, Ludwig Kos ,uth, elected Governor by the National Assembly, swear that I will maintain the declaration of inde pendence of the nation in all its consequences; that 1 will yield and enforce obedience to the laws and to the resolutions of the National Assembly. So help me God!" After this, M. Kossuth summoned the Cabinet to tile their oaths to the Chi,f Magistrate of the interregnum. All the Ministers were sworn, and the House then adjourned. HOLLAND. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 4.—The transactions on the money market were altogether of a favourable ten dency to-clay—all the tunds, national as well as foreign, were rated at higher exchange; and French s tock not merely recovered its former tone, hut closed one per cent. higher than yesterday.—Amsterdam Courant, June 5. THE HAGUE, JUNE 4 —Yesterday the Minister of Justice, M. Curtius, took official leave of all the gentlemen connected with his department, and in troduced M. Von Wickers, his successor. M. Cur tius, in a pleasant address to his former assistants, exhorted them to discharge their duties to his ruc oessor with the same zeal and earnestness which they had invariably displayed while he was in office. Nothing further has transpired respecting the resignation of M. Bund, the Minister for the Colonies. The Second Chamber will resume its duties to morrow. The Meats Courant contains the law abolishing the duty on vermicelli and maccaroni. It likewise publishes the law for the travelling expenses, &c., of the members of the Chambers.

This was a writ of quo warrauto, issued by this court, to ascertain by what authority Mr. Perham held the office of judge of twelve district county 'courts, under twelve different appointments in Worcestershire. The question to be decided was whether one person was able to hold the appointment of judge of more than one district at a time. Sir F. KELLY, in support of the rule, contended that one person could not under the statute hold more than one appointMent as judge of a county court, and there. fore that there ought, to be a separate person appointed for each district. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who showed cause agniust the rule, contended that one person was competent to bold office as judge of 100 county courts under 100 sepa rate appointments, if he was able to fulfil the duties of each trice. If there was a separate appointment to each district there would be 640 judges of county courts in England and Wales. The same observations he said :applied to the high-bailiffs and clerks. One person could be clerk or high bailiff to several different courts. He submitted that Mr. Parham was entitled to hold the several appointments. Sir F. KELLY to-day replied. The COURT took time to consider their judgment. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 6. (Sittings in 13inco.) lIINNERSLEY V. lINOTT.—A DISQUISITION ON NAMES. In this case the plaintiff, au endorser of a bill of ex change for 651. 103., brought an action against the de- Cendant as the acceptor, and declared against him by the name of '• John M. Knott," being that by which he had Aigned the note; but without stating in the declaration that the defendant had so signed it. To this declaration the defendant demurred specially, and assigned as the ground of his demurrer that the declaration had not pro perly set forth his Christian name, nor assigned any reason under the statute 3d and 4th Wm. IV., c. 42, for was•acted upod by the Courtof Exchequer in the subse qut.nt case of " Miller v Hayes," and as it appears to me the case is precisely similar to the present, I think we must decide in favour of the demurrer. The other Judges concurring, Judgment for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mrs. Catherine Stultz was again brought up for final examination before Ali:lsm:lan Gibbs and Circler), on the charge of commissioaing Mr. Barton, of Throgmorton strew. stockbroker, to purchase 1,000. worth London and North-Western Raikey stock, wh - ch stock was purchased, and which she refused to pay e r, or the loss thereon, amounting to 371. 18s. Mr. Huddlestor,, the barrister, and Mr. nobler, the solicitor, attended as before, to ple secute on behalf of some members of the Stock Exchange, and Mr. Wontner attended to watch the case for the pri-oner. Mr. Huddle -ton said that since the last examination they had not ha 1 sufficient time to obtain euch evi dence on certain points as to saeisfy the mind of the worthy Alderman. On the last occasion the points . he understood were, first, that no evidence had been produced to show that the prisoner had no means and, secondly, that the piece of paper was not of sufficient value to ju*tify a committal, and th it, in fact, it was not a valuable do,cument. With respect to the first point, he should have produced Mr. Bur goyne, the father of the prisoner-, but a letter had been received from a medical kkmtlernan named Fenton, who said that Mr. Burgoyne was in a bad state of health, and if brought to London at present th excitement might prove fatal to him. Under those circumstances ho was unable to prove she was a person witeout means. With regard to the next point, he contended that the contract note, even if not valuable security, could" be treated as goods or chattels, and she obtained it under false pre tences. 'ln support of -this view, in the case of the Queen v. Perry, 1 Dennison's Crown Cases, p. 69, tried at the last spring assizes, before the fifteen Judges, a prisoner was charged in one c .unt of the indictment with stealing a cheque for 13/ 9s, 7d.; in another count for stealing a piece of paper value one penny, when it was held that, supposing the cheque to be a void cheque (as being contrary to the provisions of statute 55 Geo. c. 184), it would still sustain the charge laid in the second count. Alderman GIBBS—You have not shoe n me any evi dence that she had not the money in her possession when she commissioned Mr. Barton. Mr. Huddleston—Suppose she had succeeded in getting the shares from Mr. Barton under her repre sentations, that would have been a misdemeanour. Then came the question, did she attempt it; and he certainly was of opinion that she did. With respect to her means, her father could, at some future period, prove that she was worth nothing. Alderman GIBBS—He could not prove anything be yound hearsay, as he lives in the country and she in London,. However disgraceful her conduct may have been, he considered there was no case established against her, and therefore she was discharged. If at any future time sufficient proofvws obtained, then they could give her into custody again. Alderman GIBBS (addressing the prisoner)—Did you receive a letter at the Compter from your brother Bur goyne? Mrs. Stultz —I did. - Alderman GIBBS—WeII, I have a copy of it, and you now know what I think of you. Mrs. Stultz held down her he ad and made no reply. She was then discharged from custody. SOUTH W A BK. William Richards, an undertaker at Kennington, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with uttering to the Equitable Life Insurance Company a forged po licy of insurance on the life of Walter Wilson for 206/. Mrs. Staff stated that the prisoner was her brother, and that some time ago their father died, leaving by will his property, which was to be equally divided between them. Amongst the property b: queathed was a policy effected in the Equitable Insurance Company on the life of a person named Wilson, which was assigned over to her father, and by him at his death .the amount of in surance was to have been equally divide d between her and her brother (the prisoner). On calling at the in surance-office, however, a few des) s age, on ihe subject, she was informed that the prisoner had produced a do cument assigning the whole amount of the policy to the prisoner, and it bore her father's signature: She, however, represented at the insurance office that it was a forgery, and on thet account the money which was to have been paid over to the prisoner was withheld, until the result of the present proceedings was known, and that he established his right to receive it. She added that her fatla r sent for her a few days previously to his decease, and informed her that he had left all his personal property, share and share alike, between her and her brother, mentioned the' the policy of insurance referral to was deposited in a tin box, and that she was to receive halt the amount when it was paid by the insurance company; and that she was to be careful and see that she obtained her rights, and that no advantage shouh be taken of her by the prisoner, with whom she was n a on terms of inti macy at the time. The complainant added, that after this conversation her father became delirous, and that he remained in that condition until his decease. The solicitor of the Equitable Insurance Cempanv attended and produced a deed assigning the amount of the policy to the prisoner, and it purported to have the deceased, Mr. Richards's, signature attached to it. He added that the prisoner had called at the office and pro duced the deed in question, laud that the mosey was to have been paid to him 'on Wednesday last, had not th, complainant (his sister) calied tilt re in the interim anti represented that the document was a forgery. The prisoner denied in the most positive terms that the deed was a forgery, and said that there were no grounds for such an eaccusation against him; that it w as true his father left his property equally between him and his sister, Kith the exception of the policy or insurance, which Ise made over to him, and executed a deed for the purpose. He added that he had a person in attendance who witnessed the execution of the deed, and who would prove the fact. He then called John Hammond, who, on being sworn, stated that he was formerly in the prisoner's employment, and that he recollected about three or four months ago (he could not say precisely) being call; d era to witness the deceasee (lir. Richer:is) execute the deed produced, assigning the policy of insurance to his soil (04e prisoner), and that upon that occasion he (witness) read over the document to the old,gentleman, whom he afterwards saw attach eis signature to it. The de,4 was shown to the witness. and he identified it as the same he had witnessed on the occasion alluded to. Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired whether the deceased's will was made previous to the execution of the deed atsign ing the policy of insurance to the pritorier? The cam. plainant replied that the deed purported to have been executed eight or ten days subsequently to that of the will. Mr. COTTINGHAM'Sftid that the case was fraught with suspicion. The accused, however, had called forward a witness who was in his employ, and who had sworn that he saw the deceased attach his signature to the deed. He (the Magi,trate) would not, therefore, entertain the charge as alleged against the prison. r, but would advise !he complainant to utter an action against the prisoner, and that he had no doubt. it she would indemnify the insurance company, they would withhold the payment of the amount of the pollee , to the prisoner until 'the ques tion was tried before anether tribunal, The prisoner e as then di,chereeea not doing so. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, on behalf of the defendant, said their .Lordships were often told that a case rested on :a word; but here• it rested on a letter only. It was his • duty to contend, both upon principle -ind precedent, that this was a good ground of demurrer. The Court had decided that the letter "I," . being a vowel and capable of pronunciation, might be taken to• be a Christian name, but they had at the same time intimated that such 'would not be the case 'with a consonant, which, as it could not be sounded alone, would be deemed to be not a name but an initial letter only. Now in this case "M" was plainly an initial letter, for it could not be pronounced by itself. Standing by itself, therefore, it meant nothing. He was sure a very eminent authoress (Miss Edge worth), whose loss they had recently had to lament, was of opinisn that all the letters of the alphabet, by the mode in which they were explained, were rendered little more (to use judicial language) than "a mockery, a de lusion, and a snare"—that A B C D, &c., meant A B C I), &c., and nothing more; but even if it would avail him, he feared' his friend could not rely upon such authority. - The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—You say the " M" means nothing—then let it mean nothing. Would a scratch be letnurrable? Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—I say that " M" by itself cannot be pronounced, and means nething; but here it toes mean something, which something ought to have teen - stated - or explained under the statute. Suppose a person of the name of John Robins, the Court would surely bold a declaration bad which described him by the•word John and figures of the redbreast! In like .manner the Court would hold this declaration bed, be cause it either put a sign for one of the defendant's eamee, or described it by the initial letter. A conso eant•by itself was a mere sound withcut meaning. The letter H, indeed, by the custom of London and some ether places, was no sound at ail—(Laughter)—though elsewhere •it protruded itself on all oceasions.—(Re• newt d laughter.) Mr. Justice MAULE—I bad a policeman before, me as a witness the other day, who told me he belonged to the hen" division, and it was not until some further stage in the cause that I discovered it was not a division de signated by the name of a bird, but by " N," the alpha oetical letter.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—It will, probably, be con tended tf,at this person might have been christened in the mant.er the bill is signed, but I submit that the court will not intend that. It is true, we often hear of absurd Christian names, and I myself remember when many persons insisted upon having their children christened Sir Francis Burdett." Mr. Justice MAULE.—I remember a very learned and ingenious argument by Mr. Jardine, when I sat in the Court of Exchequer, by which he proved to the satisfac tion of the court, that the Christian name is the real name, and the surname is only an addition; that in the case of John Stiles, for instance, John is the real name, but Stiles was perhaps originally added only because the ancestor lived near one. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD — Th en having, I hope, con vinced the Court thut " M " by itself cannot be a name, tied means nothing-, I submit it -must be understood as an iritial,• and therefore that it onght to have been so stated. Mr. Justice MAllLE—Pleadings are in writing, there tore the law presumes that the Court can read and know its -letters: Vowels may be names, and in " Sully's Memoirs" a Monsieur D'O. is spoken of ; but consonants cannot be names alone, as they require in pronounciation he aid of vowels; Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—Yes; but in the case of con sonants they are taken to be but initials when used alone both in law and literature. Throughout the ponderous volumes of Richardson's novels, fur instance, we find persons spoken of in this manner. In " Clarissa Har 'owe," fur instance, " Lord M." is mentioned through t;ut four volumes, but it could never be understood that this was the real name, or anything more than an initial. Again, an author well known to the L or d Chi e f J ustice (Charles Lamb) wrote a farce entitled simply " Mr. II." but the whole turns ueon this being the initial only of a name he wished to conceal. In his prologue to it, he humorously says— " When the dispensers of the public lash Soft penance give; a letter arid a deal —, When vice reduced in size shrinks to a fiiling, And loses half her progress by curtailing ) , Faux pas are told in such a modest way, The atlair of Colonel B— with Mrs. A—, You must forgive them; for what is there, say, Which such a pliant Vowel must not vent, To such a very pressing Consonant? Or who poetic justice dares dispute, When mildly . melting at a lover's suit, The wife's a Liquid, her good man a Yute." • And he concludes by an appeal to the consequences of this " mincing fashion," which (said the Learned Ser geant) I trust will have great weight with your Lord• ships, for he adds— " Oh, should this mincing fashion ever spread From names of living -heroes to the dead; How would ambition sigh and hang the head, As each loved syllable should melt away, Her Alexander turned into great A, A single C her Caesar to exptess, Her Scipio sunk into a Rowan. S And nick'd and dock'd to those new modes of speech, Great Hannibal himself to Mr. II—." The Learned Sergeant then cited anti argued upon a ariety of cases on his side of the question, and sun witted that their Lordships ought to decide in favour ti his client. Mr. F. ROBINSON, on behalf of the plaintiff, ssid be did not deny the right of every Englishman to bt: called by every name given to him at his baptism ; bu. he submitted that before he claimed to be privileged oii that account, he must show that his privilege has bet it invaded. Here it was assumed threughout that the " M." in the name " John M. Knott" was an initia; letter, but he believed there were instances in which persons had been christened in this remarkable way in this country. He was told there was lately a bank di rector who was christened " Edmund R, Robinson;" but were it otherwise in this country, did it follow that in no other country, Jew, Turk, or heathen might not use such names? If, however, it were an initial letter, why did not his friend apply to have the right nuns , substituted? If it were a misdescription, it was plead able in abatement. Such a name might originate front an error of the clergyman at the chriAening. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Iii the upper circles of society it is customary to hand in the name in writing, which prevents mistake. Mr. Justice Matrix—The practice of the circles with which I am conversant was, and I believe is, to give the name verbally. There was however, a gentlemen, the sheriff of one of the counties I went through on circuit, Mr. Jelin Wanly -4- Sawbridge Erle Dtax, whose name was very probably handed in.—(Laughter.) Mr. RoßlNSoN—There are messy Scotch and French names, such as M‘Donald, M‘Teggart, D'Harcourt, D'Horscy—how are such names to be set out in the pleadings? Suppose. again, a man's name were the name of a river, as X ? Mr. Justice MAULE—BIit that is not spelt 80 ; it is idem per idem, X for ex. Beer, I believe, is sometimes called X, but riot water. Mr. RoßlNSoN—There are some of our names which are precisely those of letters, as Gee, Jay, Kay, &a. Mr. Justice MAULS —But here it is not sonans, only consonans, and cannot bo soanded without other letters. Mr. ROBINSON—Their Lordships should remember the existence of a publication called the Fonatic Nuz, and unless they meant to give a " heavy blow and great discouragement" to that rising science, he hoped they • would not decide against his client.—(Laughter.) But he had seriously to - submit that by demurring to this declaration the defendant admitted, according to legal principles, that his name was that which was stated in the declaration. Mr. Justice CRES WELL referred to and distinguished this case from the case of "Roberts v, Moon," in 5 Term Reports, where a plea in abatement of' misnomer, begin ning " s and the said Ri c h ar d , sue d b y the name of Robert, was held bad. Mr. Justice MAULE suggested that as 65/. los. de• perded upon the question, it would be better for the plaintiff to amend. Mr. Iloneeso - N declined to do so, and contended no case could be cited directly, in support of the deMurrer, and therefore the Court should decide in favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD having briefly replied, The LoRD CHIEF JUSTICE —The various stages in the argument in this ca-e hive been already discussed sand decided. The courts have decided that they will not assume that a consonant letter exprettses a [same, but they will assume it expresses an initial only ; and they further decided that the insertion of art initial letter is ground of demurrer, and is not merely an irre gu'arity. In the case of "Nash v. Collier, this Court decided that a demurrer to. the declaration which de s berihf,d the defendant'e name as William Henry W. Col lier was not frivolous, and gave a s trong intimation, which the plaintiff had the good sense 'to attend to, that he ought to amend his declaration.
