IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF CO V AWNS, July 4. MARRIAGE WITH THE SlsTEit OF A DE- CE -.ED WIFE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. Mr. S CUAR r I'LEY said had tr.med this clause in order to meet the c msciences of all parties. He was, however, anxious to obtain the opinion of the House upon this subject. As regarded the canons of the Church, it was certain that the 99th canon prohi bited such marriages as were contrary to the word of God; but before any man could be proceeded against it would be necessary to prove that the marriage, for whi.eh he was prosecuted, was contrary to the law of God. Tae Hon. Gentlemen then read some passages from the V, forks of one of the highest dignitaries of the Church, attaching but slight importance to these canons, and stating that many of them had been rendered nugatory by subsequent Acts of Parliament. Mr. MUNTZ thought that every man ought to in terpret the Word of God for himself, and not lean en tirely on the canons of the Church. He for his part could not see anything in the Word of God forbidding these marriages; he had seen great benefits arising from such marriages, and he hoped that his Hon. Friend Would persevere with his Bill. Colonel T)-lONIPSON said that some of those organs of pubis opinion which were supposed to be connected with the , opponents of this Bill had lately begun to find out that not only were marriages with a wife's sister permitted by the Levitical law, but that they were abso lutely ordered and enjo;nei; and that a man might have his face slapped with his slippers—no doubt a cruel iu dignity—(A laugh)—if he ,neglimted to execute the Mosaic law by marrying his brother's widow. They had heard of a mistake which was committed during the existence of the Star Chamber, when one of the commandments was printed without the word " not." " Thou shalt commit adultery" was the reading of the commandment in those days, and many were said to have been those who followed the reading of that copy.—(Laughter.) The same was the case now; there was always a " not" put in, or a " not" left out. Now those who read for themselves would find that there was a Mosaic commandment that in certain cases a man should marry his brother's widow, and what God commanded to some he left free to all. They might have had quoted to them the memorable instance in which the Author of Christianity was pressed with a question on this very point, as to whit was to become in a future state of the widow who he. 3 married seven brothers in succession. And did He say that was a thing contrary to the law? No; He said coolly and without reprehension that there were circumstances in the future state which were not con nected with man's associations and ties in this world. He (Colonel Thompson) was glad to express bis opinion of -the :great necessity for passing the present Bill; for he believed that the exisitiog law was a source of great distress, and he feared of immorality, to a large number of persons in this country. He must say, however, that he thought it was unnecessary to extend the permission to marry a wife's niece; for he had not heard of any body who wanted to marry his wife's niece, though many persons wished to marry their wives' sisters. Mr. MANGLES thought that the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Maidstone (Mr. Hope) was, by his amendment, striving to put an additional burden on the consciences of clergyman of the Church of England. He could not see the value of canons which were contradic tory to Acts of Parliament. Mr. GLADSTONE thought that the Bill went to establish perfect anarchy, by leaving to every clergy man's conscience the interpretation of the law under which he acted. But he thought that it was a little too late in the day to impugn the validity of the canons, when clergymen were constantly being subjected to severe punishment, temporal and spiritual, under them. There was no article of our faith which could be esta blished on higher grounds than the prohibition of these marriages by the canon. With regard to the amend ment he was prepared to go farther than the Honourable Gentleman who had propoi.cd it. He was persuaded that this Bill would greatly lower the general tone of society. He should support the amendment. Sir GEORGE GREY thought that the clause in the Bill was certainly preferable to the amendment; bur he did not consider that even if the amend ment were introduced into the Bill that it would render it valueless. He thought that the amendment should not be considered entire, but in detail. He ob jecte.l to the words "not authorised" in the amendment, as-it would render those marriages void for celebrating which clergymen were punished, which would be pro ductive of great evils. 'Mr. STUART WORTLEY was confirmed in his ori ginal judgment by the discussion which hid taken place. He wished to explain one point to the House. The 99th canon, ab eit which so much had be,-n said, was sub scribed to by no clergymen of the Church of England err his ordination; and out of the 141 canons there were three selected, to which each clergyman was obliged to subscribe. After a few words of explanation from Mr. GLAD- S oNE and Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. DENISON stated that he understood it was not the intention of his Hen. Friend to press his amend ment. He wished to state that among the many pea tibias which he had presented to the House in favour of this Bill there was not one but was numerously signed by clergymen. 'The gallery was then cleared, but the amendment was negatived without a division. The discussion was then renewed, and several clauses were then agreed to. On the clause for extending the operation of the Bill to Scotland, Mr. FOX MALTLE said that he could state, upon the very highest legal authority in Scotland, that these marriages were not only voidable but alas lutely void. The only reason that had been assigned for extending this taw to Scotland vas, that it was ad- visable to render the practice in the two countries of England and Ireland uniform.—(Hear.) Now he could, for his own part, perceive no reason for rendering that practice uniform. By the Act of Union the Confession of Feith was signed by all the leading ministers of Scotland as the basis of the ecclesiastical government of that country, and this law if extended to Scotland would be, in the first place, a complete infraction between the two countries. They had on one occasi,n interfered with the feelings of the people of that country, and the con sequence had been that a body of upwards of 400 minis ters—whether they be right or whether they be wrong, he did not intend to give an opinion—upwards of 400 ministers had determined to secede from the Established Church of that country ; and he did not hesitate to say, that if this Bill were to be passed in its present shape it would lead to the annihilation of the Established Church altogether. The Confession of Faith of 1567 had con tinued the 'groundwork of the ecclesiastical government of that country until 1835. But now they proposed to introduce a measure which was perfecly abhorrent to the feelings of the people, and were in the first place dis placing the law of the land by creating a new principle which could not be engrafted on the customs, c r find any place in the feelings, of the people, and, secondly, which must destroy all the principles of cohesion which bad hi,therto existed, and existed usefully to the present time. The only instance that he had ever heard of the marriage of a man with the sister of a deceased wife had occurred in a place with which he was well acquainted, and such had been the conse quence of the feeling excited that all the parties con cerned had been compelled to leave the neighbourhood. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved that the fol lowing clause be added to the Bill:—" And be it enacted, that this Act shall not extend to Scotland, nor shall any thing therein contained alter, or be construed to alter, the law relating to rnarrisge in that country. :The LORD ADVOCATE said that however desirous he was for preventing anything like dissension iu Scot land, he was compelled to observe that his Right Hon. and Learned Friend was not quite right in his allusion to the immutability of the Confession of Faith a 1567, for Wiled been altered and amended in 1690, and there had been an addition subsequent to that; after very 113 , 1• tare csnsideration, and nut without the coincidence of opinion in many high legal functionaries, that the incon venience likely to arise from the Bill would be far wore than counterbalanced by the advantages which it was likely to confer. 'What was the c why, if this clause were to be added to the Biil, it would radically create a difficulty which might never be got over.— (Hear, hear.) If a woman, who had been the sister of a deceased wife, were to marry her late sister's hus band, she would be a wife in one country and a mistress in the other. If she survived t she would he widow in one country, entitled to dower, 1 and with all her widow's rights; and in the other no widow at all, and entitled to no rights —(Hear, hear.) The children which might be the issue of their marriage would in the one country be of heritable blood, while in the other there would be no heritable rights in them w hatever.—(Hear, hear.) This was a mischief which ought, in his opinion, to he rectified, and this Bill, so far from being contrary either to the laws of God or the in terests of the country, was quite in keeping with both, and he should therefore oppose the amendment. Mr. F. MACKENZIE said that this Bill would be altogether against the feelings of the people of Scotland, and he was surprised that the Lord-Advocate should be in favour of it. " Mr. DRUIIMOND said that the Reformers of 1560 had indeed been R -formers, for they strove to bake away atom the church all that was bad, and leave all that was good; scethat unity and good feeling might remain in the members of the church; but the Reformers of the present - day seemed to have for their only object to sow diisension in every parish. He would only remind them that their law could' .er supers e d e th a t of God or Make that not ineestuTs declared to be so. However , h the Divi n e revelation thee; but reserve himself f or th e e w th ` " readi n n o g t . hing fur- Mr. v OSWALD, after quoting several rd eral portions of the at the larger and smaller Catechism , assert e d imposi tion of this Bill would have the eff ect ofth co mpelling the clergy of the Established Church to violate the oaths Which they took at their ord;nation. Mr. WORTLEY then explained his object i n ex tending this Bill to Scotland, and stat e d th at so far fro m the object of the Bill being contrary to the f ee li ngs of the people of Scot and, he had received numerous appli cations from all the large towns in Scotland, and it was notorious that many of"these marriages had' been cele brated in Scotland, and many of the clergy had been placed in most painful rositions from the want of it. Mr. ROLTNDELL PALMER would oppo:,e the Bill to the utmost of his power. He thought that the Church of Scotland had as much right to complain i,t' thii Bill as they would have o f th e i n f rac ti o n o f an y o f th e articles of the TJnion. The effect of this Bill was to say /hat the ministrttr-of the Church of Sc ,Ilan I should not . be prosecuted eveiiif they broke its laws. After a few words of explanation from Mr. J. WORTLEY, Mr. HUME was decidedly in favour of the Bill, but he . was decidedly Bill in Scotland. °PPosed to the exteLeion of the _ . Mr J. O'CONNELL moved an ame:dmat, that the Bill should not be extended to Ireland. They did not want that Bill. Mr FOX MAULE had no objection to do that for Ireland which he had d,,ne fez. Scotlar.d. He htd not heard one single word from any gentlem ,n on the o po site side of the House to alter his orie,inal judgment. Alter some explanation from Mr. Stuart Wortley, Mr- Gladstone, and Mr J. O'Connell, The gallery was then cleared for a division, and there appeared— For the clause as amended 66 Against it ... •.. ... 119 Mej eity ••• ... —53 Mr. GOULBURN objected to a portion of the preamble of the Bill; he expected that in the next ses sion some Member would come down and propose the extension of sufferance to a still nearer degree of affinity. Mr. R. PALMER thought the portion referred to affirmed that which was untrue both as a matter of fact and a matter of law, and he therefore objected to it. Mr. S. WORTLEY said, as the words objected to were unnecessary he would concur in their omission. The words were accordingly struck out, and the preamble as amended having been agreed to, the Chair man was directed to report the Bill to the House. The House having resumed, the Chairman reported accordingly, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday. COPYHOLD ENFRA.NCHISENIENF BILL. On the question fur going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. CHRISTOPHER objected to their going into Committee at that late hour (half-past four), a; (he measure would require much discussion and much alteration before it could pass. For his own pin he al together objected to the measure. It made it compul sory for the lord of the manor to enfranchise the tenantry, without inflicting any such c _impulsion on the tenant. He should therefore move that it be committed this day six months. Lord GALWAY was opposed to all one• sided measures, and had much pleasure in seconding the amendment. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the course the Hon. Mem ber fur Lincolnshire had just adopted was somewhat extraordinary. He had commenced by asking for delay, and concluded with calling upon the House at once to express an opinion upon the principle of the Bill.—(A laugh.) He had satisfied himself that the principle was equitable and just, and he begged to assure the' Honourable Gentleman that it was his determination, if he could, to pass it this session, but of course it would be his duty to bow to the decision of the House, and all he could do if the House threw it out then was to renew it next session, which he certainly should do. A large number of petitions had been presented in favour of the measure, and it was quite clear that the existing system was exceedingly unjust in its operation. He must objectto the question of principle being raised at this stage; it was most unusual, and he hoped the House would not tolerate such a mode of proceeding. It wasunfairto say that the Bill con fer equal power o w n a t s he on lo e r -s d id o e f d th b e ee m au a s n e or i as t did not the tenant, teeing that the exist in g law p laced the tenant ina far higher p os ition than the lord of the manor.—(Hear.) Mr. GOULBOURN said he was of opinion this Bill was founded on very unjust principles. Copyhold tenure was a very ancient thing, and there was much the same relation subsisting between the lord of the manor and the copyhulder as subsisted between a land owner and his tenant. It was a great and serious case of injustice to endeavour to deprive the lord of the manor of his interest in copyhold tenure, which this Bill did, because the copyholder thought it inconvenient to pay a small annual fine. Sir G. STRICKLAND would be very much sur prised if this Bill progressed one step further.—(Cheers.) He thought this was a Bill having in view no other object than confiscation. Where was the great national object to be attained in compelling the lord of the manor to give up his copyhold rights ? This Bill neither abolished the copy nold tenure nor the copyhold courts, but perpetuated them, and yet the lord of the manor was to be com pelled to keep up those courts, after he had been de• prived of his interest in the copyhold tenure. Mr. HUME thought the Bill ought to go into Com mittee, and if then the feeling of the House should he averse to its principle, his Hon. Friend the Member for Cockermouth might then, but not till then, with great propriety withdraw it. After a few words from Mr. FELLO WES, Mr. H. WILLYAMS said this Bill was not intended to confiscate the property of the lords of manors, but to relieve the tenants from certain obnoxious and unjust payments to which they were compelled to submit. But though the principle was good, the Bill was imper f.ct and partial, because it gave an advantage to one party which it did not give to another —(Hear, hear,) Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion _ For the amendment .. 71 Majority tor the amendment —ll MINES AND COLIERIES BILL. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOM BE rose to move the second reading of this Bill. There was great injustice in the present treatment of colliers. In many dis tricts the coal was brought up to the surtace to be measured, and the men were not paid until six weeks after. Upwards of five thousand lives had been lost within the last few years in the working of mines and collieries. Such a state of affairs called for the interference of the Legislature. Mr. HUME rose to second the motion. It was a subject which pressed for immediate redress. The colliers had petitioned year after year for the redress of their grievances. He hoped the House, on con4iderimg the important nature of this Bill, and as the Govem [tient had delayed to interfere, would accede at least to the principle of the Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY expressed his satisfaction at seeing the lion. Member for Finsbury in his place again. —(Hear, hear.) With reference to the present measure, though he thuught that the number of accidents was much overrated, yet he was greatly in favour of taking everything into consideration which should tend to diminish the number of them. The compulsory plan adopted on the continent would certainly not be feasible in this country. To the prin. cip!e of a compulsory inspection he could have nu oojection.—(Hear, hear.) He had prepared a Bill himself on this subject, which he intended to introduce this session. lie did not wish that the responsibility should be shifted from the shoulders of the proprietors of collieries to Government. He objected to the Bill of his Hon. Friend on the ground that it ren dered a great staff of officers and complicated machinery necessary, which he thought he should be able to obviate by his own measure. He also regretted that clauses relating to the payment of wages had been introduced into the Bill. He hoped also, from the foundation of the Museum of Economic Geology, to raise a school of miners similar to taose on the continent, which he was convinced would be of great value to the mining districts. The whole subject was one of great importance, but he thought that gradual measures would be of more advantage than a Bill of the present nature. Mr. LACY moved that this Bill be read a second time that day fortnight. He thought hasty legislation n o w would be to induce great mischief. He deprecated any interference with the matter of the miners wages, as was proposed by this Bill. This Bill talked of three inspectors which were to be compelled to go into every coal mine in England and Wales four times a year, a thing which was almost impossible, con sidering the number of mines in the country. Mr. MACGREGOR, most cordially seconded the amendment of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Lacy). He be lieved, in his conscience, this would be a most imprac ticable Bill, and he hoped it would be withdrawn. Lord LINCOLN also hoped the Hon. Member for Finsbury would withdraw his Bill. He'(Lord Lincoln), as the representative of one of the most im portant mining districts in Scotland, had be . come acquainted with the feelings of the miners in Scotland with respect to this Bill, and they were ge nerally of opinion that the Bill was, in the first place, impracticable, and, in the second, would be very mis chievous in its operation. Mr. AGLIOSIBY thought there was the greatest necessity for adopting some means for preserving the lives of persons employed in mines. He thought it the Bill were mad a second time now, it might be s , nt down into the country to elicit the public opinion respecting it, and that object beteg attained, it mint then be brought under the consideration of the House. He would Vote for the second reading on that understanding. After a few words from Mr. BRIGHT and Sir GEORGIA PREY, Mr. T. 1.1131.1C011111t said voluntary Inspection in thl4 matter would be perfectly nugatory. All the objec ttons to the Bell had come from the muter class; and unless the House would consent to the compulsory Inspection, he must divide the House. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, the Bill having been withdrawn by Mr. T. Duncombe. The House then, at Six o'clock, adjourned.

American cottons, within the !ail month, is fully Id. per lb.; many consumers say - In the same time, the advance in wa'er twist is s areely appreciable—certainly it not id.; while in mule yarns it is only ab.ut These yarns were previously, for the most part, unre munerative, and to a great extent attended with loss; what, then, is the position of the spinner now? ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had another very fair market, quite aqua! to that of the preceding Monday. There has been a better demand for heavy goods than we have had for some weeks past. The wool market has been flat, the dealers asking a shade higher price, but the manufacturers refusing to give it. The circumstance of the London wool sale being on this week has had some effect in keeping the manufacturers out of the market, as there are various opinions enter tained whether prices are to be higher or lower. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Very considerable busi ness has been doing in the Cloth hall, and the ware houses have been pretty well engaged during the week. The orders from America continue to come pretty freely to hand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY. — The amount or business dune in the Piece Hall to-day has been pretty much the same as for the last week or two. The chiet inquiry is for fancy goods, and prices are firm, though not advancing. Yates are more in demand, principally for export, at improving quotations. A fair quantity of wool is changing hands. and holders are firm at old rates. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been a much batter market to-day than for some weeks past. The mer chants are buying more than usual, and a good autumn trade is expected. BADEN. The Kolner Zeitung has letters from Carlsruhe of the 29th ult., stating that a sharp conflict took place between the Prussians and the insurgents on the approach of the former to the fortress of ltastadt. The battle was fought in the vicinity of Ettlingen and in and near the villages of Vokersbach and Muggen sturm. Its result was the defeat of the insurgents and their retreat under the walls of Rastadt. One of their chiefs, Professor Kinkel, from Bonn, was slightly wounded and captured. The loss of the Prussians is stated to have been severe, though it was not pos , ible to quote it in numbers. A letter in the Oberpostamts Zeitung states that the Prussians attacked the outworks of Rastadt on the 29th inst., and that they demolibhed some of the detached forti fications. The head-quarters of the Prince of Prussia were at Ettlingen, and those of General Peucker at Baden- Baden. Nothing is known of the fate of the insur gent Provisional Government. _ _ . Letters from Carisruhe of the 29th ult. state that cannonading in the direction of Rastadt had been heard for some hours, and was continuing when the post left. The Prussian forces were, it was assumed, attacking the insurgents, who had thrown themselves into the fortress of Rastadt. At Volkersbach, not far from Carlsruhe, there was a trifling engagement on the 28th ult., which ended in the defeat of the insur gents. General Miller, of \Vurtemburg, had occupied Offenburg. THE WON, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY A, IM FINSBURY AND SHOREDITCH BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. This society, established for the twofold purpose of allowing pensions and medical aid, held its first meeting yesterday, in order to elect two females on the funds. The chair was occupied by Henry F. Richardson, Esq., F.L S. (le business was then proceeded with, and at three o'clock the poll was declared. The Chairman gave a distinct account of the necessity for this institution, and stated that Finsbury contained upwards of 270,000 persons, and Shoreditch upwards of 100,000, making an aggre gate of 370,000 persons—the nature also of the avoca tions in the locality, peculiarly required the formation of such a society, and he (the Chairman) trusted that a large and extended liberality would make the institution a blessing to the district. The Chairman paid a just tribute to the exertions of the promoters, and Mr. Vine, the secretary announced, amidst great applause, the adhesion of the Marquis of Bristol, Lord Denbigh, Lord Carlisle, Lord Seaham, the Bishops of Durham and Ll4 ndaff, Sir Jame; Flower, Bart. , and nu merous others. The Chairman then announced that the first festival would av be held on the 25th inst., at the King's tlead Tavern, er the tial P oultry, and he hoped none would came merely y pe a n id sio i n l' er s applaud the toast or cheer the sentiment, but substan d The Chairman then congratulated e n l' s. r . n r ight nays , call them—and, is great spirits, the meeting; the Chairman. b '' k e 'up, afters xott.taf thanks to POST-OFFICE N ()Tic s. —In conc l uding the recent postal convention with the United States, the British Po.t•office has been unable to make provision for the safe transmission of registered letters between the two countries, no system :of registratioa being in operation in the United States. The public, however, may still continue to register letters for the United States as far as the port of dispatch, according to the present prac tice, but it must be distinctly understood that such re gistration will be effectual only to the port of dispatch in the United Kiugdem.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The large business which was effected last week in shirtings and other goods of light and medium qualities for various distant markets, as well as those of India and China, has been followed by a diminished amount of transactions to-day. This is partly attributable to an unwillingness among buyers to yield to some further rise of price, which has, in manly instances, been demanded; but it is much more owing to the scarcity of the articles referred to. 40-inch shirtings, in 64 and 66 reeds, are not to be had at the highest rates; and, for good qualities of 36-inch shirt ings, there is a lively call, at advancing prices. T'nere is still, we are glad to say, a tendency to improve in the heavier domestics; but T cloths are as dull as 13;:fore. In heavy fustians, the depression is quite unreLleved, Ind these makers who have not entirely stopped their works, are still restricting them to short time. Yarns for home manufacture continue to be freely taken ; last week's advance is fully maintained. In the great mass of export twist, however, the market hs,s been very inanimate, and, to the producers, most unsatis factory. The continental buyers will not pay the small increase of price required by the spinners, except flr such vary limited quantities as are needed tc , supply immediate wants ; and, under the influence of recent advices, the India merchants not only refuse to go higher, but even hesitate about operating any further, at present, on previous conditions. A s, however, the spinners have no great weight of stock ou hand, and as they are generally of opinion that cotton is likely, in the long run, rather to increase in v slue, they hold firmly by their quotations ; and many in timations are given of a serious intenti on to di minish the production. This will not sur prise those who are aware of the following facts;-7.143 rile in RAILWAY SHARE MARRETS. LIVERPOOL, Jury 4.

At Etrnfghem, a village three leagues from the town of Bruges, formit.g nearly the central point between Bruges, Thour. out, and Ostend, were born, on the 28th ult., two children of the female sex compactly united to each other. The two bodies join at the sides ; the ligature union beginning a little below the right breast of the one and the left breast of the other, and continuing as far as the navel, so that the children do not look each other in the face, but are turned one to wards the other in an oblique position. Their heads, arms, thighs, and legs are perfectly free, and they have the perfect use of their limbs, and their position is such as to permit their mother to nurse both at the same time without difficulty. The curate of the parish baptized them the day of their birth in the names of Marie and Sophie. The parents are poor servants, working ehel .

Pal merston on Friday night, with respect to the siege of Rome, took occasion to administer a well-merited re buke to the French. He pointed out " the monstrous in consistency" of which they had been guilty. "Had Russia or Austria or any German nation gone to the walls . of Rome, and poured shot upon its works of art, at least dis approbation of the act would not have been accompanied with surprise, but that France, who had prided herself en all occasions with being the patron of the arts — France, who claimed to have fought the battle of liberty for Europe—that she should be the first to interfere with the only republican Government which had arisen out of her own revolution, was indeed a monstrous inconsistency. The French set an ex ample to the Romans; they incited them to do what they had done, and now they attacked their brother Republicans. Alas for the chivalry of France !" Lord Palmerston tacitly acquiesced in the jus tice of Mr. Roebuck's withering remarks, and assured the Reuse that the Government were no parties to the transaction, but on the cc .ntrary witnessed it " with deep regret." We believe this is the feeling entertained by men of all shades of political opinion in this country, slid that universal indignation would have been expressed it the Government had been in the slightest degree mixed up with the enormous crime which the French Republic has committed against the Roman people.— Carlisle Journal. DESTRUCTION OF A CHURCH BY FIRE.—A fire broke out on Friday night in the Free Church, Great Charles-street, which, we deeply regret to add, rapidly accomplished the utter destruction of that sacred struc ture. The flames were first observed about halt-pact nine o'clock issuing from the upper windows of the building, in which, owing to its isolated position, and the ignitable and unconfined materials which constituted the fittings of the interior, they soon advanced so far in their ruinous career that even the best directed and sustained efforts to check them would have been unavail ing. As soon as the fire was discovered the bell of St. George's Church sounded the alarm, and the engines of St. Thomas's, St. George's, and St. Mary's parishes, with those of the Caledonian and other insurance-offices, hastened tothesc l e u n a e ; but, owing to the impossibility of procuring of water, their services could not be efficiently brought into effective requisition.

The form of the issue not having been agreed upon by coun sel, the cas- stands over to give them the opportunity of arranging it. (Before Sir J. KNIGHT BRUCE IN THE MATTER OF THE JOINT STOCK COMPANIES WIND ING UP ACT, 1848, AND OF THE ST. GEORGE'S STEAM- PACKET COMPANY. The testator, Mr. Jonathan Pim, a director of the St. George's Steam-packet Company, purchased 40 of the company's shares, for which he paid 2,0001. to Mr. Joseph Robinson Pim, the managing director. He, however, did not take out the shares in his own name, but had them entered in tho names of Mr. Thomas Harvey and Mr. Joshua Pin], his son and executor. These parties were accepted, but after the testator's death the shares were found in his desk by his son. Some doubt, however, having arisen as to the legality of the shares, the son sent them to the managing director to have them cancelled, but with the view, it was stated, of having other shares substituted. An entry was made in the books of the company testify ing the act of cane nation, but instead of 40 other shares being returned to the executor, 27 certificated were sent, with a letter promising that 13 more would be subsequently sent. The company, as i, generally known, became unfortunate, and the object of the pre sent motion was to render the testator's estate Fable for his proportion of ihe losses of the company as regarding the 40 shares. His Honour was of opinion, that the act of the authorised agents of the company had termi nated the partnership existicg between them and Jona than Pim as regarded the 40 shares, and that therefore the testator's estate was not liable. He gave that opi nion without touching on any question which may arise with respect to the 27 substituted shares. PREROGATIVE COURT, July 3. (Before Sir 11. JENNER FUST.) HIS SERENE HIGHNESS HESSE HOMBURGH, DECEASED. Dr. DEAN said the deceased in this case died intes tate, leaving a brother and two daughters ; that by the law of the dukedom the brother of the deceased is not only successor to the kingdom, but also to his real and personal property. The only property left by his Highness in this country was three dividends upon stock standing in the name of the late Duches's exe cutors. He (Dr. Dean) asked the Court to grant ?ALIA.- nistration to the present Landgrave, as the brother of the deceased. The Learned JUDGE observed that the law being in favour of this application, he would decree adminis tration to the present Landgrave of Hesse li, , mburgh, and, at the same time, ordered an office copy to be de livered, &c. NARY RUSH, DECEASED. Dr. ADDAMS said the testatrix was the wife of the late James Bloomfield Rush, who had made himself no torious by being an actor in the late wilful murders at Stanfield Hall, Norfolk. The testatrix made a will in 1844, and died in 1848. Rush proved this will and also a codicil, purporting to be that of the testatrix. The will bequeathed the property to the children, nine in number, but the codicil gave it to Rush, and made him sole executor. The Learned Advocate said he applied to the Court to set aside the probate granted to the codicil. as being a forgery, and not the writing of the testatrix, the appicaiion being made by Mr. John Soames, who was guardian of the children, on the affidavit of Emil Sandford, who was subscribing witness to it. The affi davit stated that it was written after the death of the testatrix, by direction of Rush, and attested by them both. He (Dr. Addams) felt the position the Court as placed in, to be call.- d on to revoke a former act upon ;he evidence of such a person as Emily Sandford, but he hoped the Court would take into its consideration !he situation of the younger children, and that the party making the affidavit could have no interest in asserting an untruth. The Learned JUDGE thought he could not act without some further evidence to prove the signature was a for gery. He must, therefore, direct the motion to stand over until he had some corroborative evidence. WESTMINSTE ,. COUNTY COURT. (Before 1). C. MOYLAN, E,cl , Judge.) PIRACY OF CRUIKSHANICS "TOOTH ACHE "—BOGUE v, ELLIOTT. This was an action brought by David Bogue, pub. fisher, of Fleet-street, to recover from the defendant, Mary Elliott, a publisher of Holy well-street, dama t zes for the infringement of the copyright of a work entitled " The Tooth-ache, imagined by Horace Mayhew and realized by George Cruikshank," of which the plaintiff was the proprietor. Mr. English appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Roberts for the defendant. ENGLISH stated that his client sought protection against the piracy of the work in question, " The Tooth ache," under the sth and 6th Victoria. He should show the plaintiff to be the proprietor of the work; that it had been du`y entered at Stationers'-hall, and that he had suffered by the infringement of the copyright. The JUDGE said the right was not in the publisher, but in the author. The nlait,tiff must show that the work was assigned over to him. Mr. ENGLISH said he was prepared to prove the plain tiff's possession of the copyright. Mr. James Brownless, chief clerk to the plaintiff, stated that Mr. Bogue was the registered proprietor of the work. He engaged Mr. Horace Mayhew and Mr. George Cruikshank, the former to write. and the latter to illustrate the work. Witness knew the extent of the sale of the work. Of one edition, plain, at Is. 61. per copy, 3,000 were sold; and of another, coloured, at 3s. per copy, about 1,500 more. The sale fell off cont,id,r • ably shortly after the pirated edition of the defendant. (The witness produced the original and the imitation, both of which were handed to the Judge.) He went into the defendant's shop himself, and purchased the pirated edition. The defendant told him at the time that it was not an original work, hut that it was copi- d tram another, published in the Man in the Moon, at 2s. Wi!- Hess knew that it had never been published in the Man in the Moon. There was no pretence tor supposing that the work had been copied from anything but the plain tiff's publication. Mr. ROBERTS, on the part of the defendant, submitted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited The work was not registered until the very day the action was commenced. The entry at Stationers'-hall should have been made before the action was brought. The JUDGE expressed himself of the same opinion, but thought technical objections not the best way of meeting the case. He suggested an arrangement between the parties. An arrangement was then mode, by which the de fendant was to give up the blocks of the pirated work, and the plaintiff to cease all proceedings. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COI,RT. (Before Mr. JusticP CoLTMAN and Air. Justice MAULE.) Mary Ann Hogden. 34, a married woman, was in• dieted for the murder or her female child by drowning it. The prisoner was arraigned before Mr. Bullock at the sitting of the Court, and a plea of Nut Guilty was re corded. Mr. CLARKSON, upon the Judges taking their seats, applied to their Lordships to have the plea of Not Guilty erased from the indictment, upon the gr dind that the prisoner was not in a fit state of mind to plead, or to understand what she was called upon to answer. Tne Learned Counsel said that the trial was postponed from the last session in order to give an opporainity for the production of evidence of her insanity, and he had wit nesses in attendance to prove that fact, but if their Lordships would hear the evidence of Mr. M'Murdo, the surgeon of Newgate, upon the subject of the pri soner's present condition, he apprehended that they would consider it unnecessary to proceed further with the inquiry at present. Mr. Justice Covrstex, having made some inquiries, and reformed to the Act of Parliament having relation to the subject, ordered the plea of Not Guilty to be erased, and directed that a jury should be impanelled to dispose of ttiv quesion of the prisoner's sanity or insanity. Mr. M•Murdo. the surgeon of Newgate, was then ex amined upon the voire doire, and in answer to questions put to him by the Court, he expressed his opinion that the prisoner was at the time insane, incapable of under standing what was going forward, and incomi,etent, therefore, to plead to the indictment against her. explained returned ainedthe ir nature he of the Learned j inquiry D t Gthe having y , briefly th at o a verdict in accordance with the opinion of the surgeon, and Mr. Justice Coltman directed the prisoner should be kept in safe custody until she should be in a fit state of mind to take her trial. Wm. Anstead, 32, clerk, was indi<•ted for feloniously forging and uttering a cheque tor 631. 135., with intent to defraud the London and Westminster Bank. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. LAW prosecuted; Mr. Parry was for the prisoner. The offence imputed to the prisoner appeared to have been committed in a very ingenious manner. It ap peared that some years ago he had been known to Mr. Vokins, a coal-merchant at Pimlico, but he had been lost sight of since 1845, leaving an account unpaid. On the 21st November in last year the prisoner made his appearance at the counting-house of Mr. Vokins after banking hours, and having introduced him self to him, expressed his willingness to pay his debt, at the same time giving an order for coals to the amount of 2/., and he produced a cheque for 181., upon Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, and Mr. Vokins gave him the difference in gold arid a cheque upon the London and Westminster Bank for 3/. 13s. The cheque appeared to have been drawn in a very careless manner, the word.three being written at some distance from the margin, and the first letter being a small " t", instead of a capital, and the cheque being altered by the word sixty being placed before the thre,-, it was presented in that shape to the bankers, and was paid with four 10/. and four 5/. notes and cash. The cheque was presented by a woman, who was evidently acting in concert with the prisoner, for immediately after the cheque was paid the greater portion of the notes which were the produce of it were traced to his possession. Mr. Justice MAULE, in summing up the case to the jury, said that although the cheque in question had cer tainly originally been drawn in a very careless manner. yet if the jury should be of opinion that the prisoner had made the alteration in the amount, or had caus , al it to be presented, knowing that it had been altered, he would, both according to the letter and the spirit of the law, have rendered himself amenable to the charge of forgery. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri soner was proved to have been on a previous occasion convicted of felony._ _ _ He was sehteneTed to be transported for ten years. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Sarah Mills, who was indicted with a person named Hansel' for conspiracy, in endeavouring to extort money Crom a gentleman named Bevan, by-a, threat -to pubiish libellous matter concerning him in the Satirist news par-r, was yesterday placed at the bar to ple.d. There was an indictment against the same parties for felony, arising out of the same transaction. Mr. PALMY, who appeared for aansell, applied to have his trial postponed until the next session, on the ground that he was in such a bad state of health that it would endanger his life if he were to take his trial at this time. _ _ _ Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prosecution, said he believed the statement of the condition of the defendant Hansell was quite correct, and, therefore, he could not oppose the application. The defendant Mills pleaded " Guilty" to the indict ment for misdemeanour, and " Not Guilty " to the charge of felony. Dlr. CLARKSON, who appeared for this defendant, said he was requested on her behalf to offer a most humble and sincere , ipol,gy to the respectable prosecutor fur the act she had committed. He at the same time said he believed there was very little doubt that the defendant had been made the instrument of a more guilty party, acid und-r these circumstances he trusted the Court would pass as lenient a sentence as the justice of the ease would admit of. Mr. BALLANTINE said that the defendant was charged jointly with a person named Hansel!, who had the mantigement of a newspaper called the Satirist, with endeavouring to ex•.ort, money from Mr. Bevan, the prosecutor, by threatening to publish libellous matter concerning him in that journal. He was instructed to state that the prisoner was known by the prosecutor to have been formerly in a respectable position, and that her friends and connexions also filled a position of respecta bility, and he believed that the prisoner when she first applied to the prosecutor for money was driven to do so by the pressure of poverty. Those ap plications were not paid any attention to, and the defen dant, there was very little doubt had after this got into the hands of flansell, who had made use of her to further his purpose of extor ion, and from this tiint, a series of most brutal attacks had been made upon the character of the prosecutor in the journal to question. The prose cutor, however, believed that the defendant Mills was merely a tool in the hands of the other person, and he wks therefore desirous to recommend her to the merciful consideration of the Court. With regard to the charge of felony, he should refrain from offiering any evidence. The COMMON SERGEANT, in pissing sentence, said that he thom4ht the defendant had b,en v,-ry well ad• vised. and had acted most prop,rly in pleading guilty, as the only atonement in her power. The Court, however, had a duty to perrorm, and he did not know of any more serious off,nce, or one that was more lik..ly to create misery in families. than this of endeavouring to extort money by threatening to rn eke ch.trges of a des graceful character. Taking into consideration, howev. r, that the defendant had plead, d guilt), and that Mr. Bevan had recommended her to mercy, the sentence would be much more lenient than it otherwise would have been, and that Has that she be imprisoned for six months without hard labour. POLICE IN TELLIG EN CE. M AR LBORO UG H-STRE ET. Mary White, an elderly woman, was brought before Mr. Hardwick charged with manslaughter, by cutting the throat of her husband, Peter White, with a knife, Charlotte Tucker deposed that she was a single wo• man, and occupied the second floor fr•+nt room, at No. 15, Hertford-street, Fitzroy-square. The prisoner and her deceased husband lodged in the front parlour. About nine o'clock on the night of the sth of June witness was in her room, when she was alarmed at hearing screams of murder issue from the front parlour, accompanied with the breaking of glass. She looked out of the win dow and saw several persons about the door. She then ran down stairs, and when near the bottom she heard the deceased say, "For God's sake mike haste down, fur my wife has cut my throat." She tried to open the parlour door, but did not succeed, in consequence of its being locked inside. She then went to the street-door and sent a lad for the police. The prisoner and deceased frequently quarrelled, and witness had seen the deceased strike the prisoner several times. She never heard the prisoner make use of any threat towards the deceased. Golseen, 85 E. said that about twenty-five minutes past nine on Tuesday night, the sth June, his atten tion was called to 15, in Hertford -street, by the cries of " Murder and police." The parlour•door was fas tened; he got in at the window; the room was in darkness, and he heard a man say, "My wife has cut my throat." He then opened the dour and let his brother officer in. They got a light, and found the deceased standing up in the room near to the door, and bleeding verymuch from a wound in the throat The deceased said, pointing to the prisoner, " My wife has cut my throat." She was standing up near the fire place, and said " He (the deceased) has struck me three times, and then he got the razor to cut my throat. I wrenched it from his hands, and drew it across his throat." Witness then took deceased to the hospital, and the prisoner was taken to the station by the other constable. Wiley, 77 E, corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and in addition stated that on searching th , room he found the knife now produced covered with blood. Mr. "'leery Searle Etuye mild he was house-surgeon at the University Hospital. On the night of the 5,h of June, about half-paSt nine, Peter White was brought to the hospital. He appeared faint from the loss of blood which had flowed and was still flowing from a wound in the throat. The wound was two inches and a half in length, and in depth nearly an inch, injuring, but not severing, the windpipe. He lingere. until Sunday, July 15t. The immediate cause of his death was infl imita tion of the lungs, but the prifnary ca!ise was the wound In the throat. Such a wound would be inflicted by the knife now produced. The depositions made by the deceased previous to his death were then put in and rend, and the prisoner was committed to take her trial for manslaught,r. WORSHIP-StREET. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Mr. S. Joseph Coe, described as a person in independent circumstances, was charged beeire Air. Hammitt with having, crus Ily maltreated his wife, who was so seriously injured that some doutes are entertained of her recoln ry. Police-constable 315 K stated that at three o'clock that morning his attention was attracted by an uproar in front of one of the houses in New Somerford-stet et, Cambridge-road, upon reaching which he found a lady lying in a state of insensibility in the gutter, with no thing on but her night dress, and surrounded by several persons, one of whom pointed out her husband as hav ing reduced her to such a condition. Having secured the prisoner, who was standing a few paces off, he as sisted the others in conveying the lady to her bed-room, and the family surgeon was at once sent for, who pro nounced her to have been so dreadfully injured about the head and al &men that it was impossible at presmt to form an opinion as to her recovery.

Maria Reynolds, landlady of the house where the occurrer:ce took place, stated that the prisoner and his wife had for some time occupied }ter furnished draw ing room and other apartments, and that at a late hour On the preceding night the former returned home in a state of partial in oxication. the first intimation they had of his arrival being his hurling a stone through his wi'n's chamber window. The door was opened as quickly as possible, and the prisoner proceeded to the bed-room, but be had only been there a few minutes when witness was alarmed by the sound of blows and loud screams from the wife, which were almost immediately succeeded by a heavy fall upon the floor. Witness instantly hastened into the room, where she found his wife lying upon the ground, and the prisoner standing over her, with one of his hands entangled in her hair. Witness succeeded with some difficulty in extricating her from his grasp, and was supporting her to a chair when the prisoner made a violent attack upon his wife, and after striking her repeatedly in the face, knocked her back into the chair, when she became stupified, and whilst witness was attending h e r, h e struc k her three or four other blows with such force that she was reduced to a state of complete insensibility. The prisoner then retreated down stairs and went out, and after the lapse of a considerable interval she succeeded in restoring the injured woman to consciousness, and supported her down stairs with the intention of protect ihg her in her own bedroom for the rest of the night; but upon reaching the passage the prisoner returns d to the house, and immediately commenced a third attack upon his wife, striking her repeatedly till she again tell in a nearly senseless state in the passage, when he kicked her violently on the lower part of her person. She was raised from the ground by the witness, and sta4gered out into the street, but upon reaching there instantly fell down in the kennel, and remained there till the arrival of the constable. A certificate was handed up to the bench from Mr. B. Shaw, surgeon, of the Cambridge-road, which described the lady as suffering from serious injuries inflicted upon the head and abdomen, and declared her to be in a state which pi ccluded the possibility of her removal. When called upon for his defence, the prisoner said he had been out for some hours, and that on his return his wife, who was of a very jealous disposition, accused him of passing the evening with some other woman, which so greatly exasperated him that, aft er some wor d s b e t we en teem, and he being in a state of intoxication at the time, he certainly struck her, but had no recollection what ever of having (idler beaten or ki c k e d h er in the exag gexag- geratedmanner described by t h e l an dl a dy on the second occasion. Mr. EIAI43IILL said it was a most serious case, and after the evidence he h a d h ear d as to the condition in which the lady then was, he felt it his duty to remand the prisoner upon the charge; but would consent to ao cept substantial bail for his future appearance—the ,ner himself in 801. and two sureties in 401. each, with 48 hours' notice to inquire into their sufficiency.
