IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 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 to 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 last session two Election Committees came to different conclusions upon the same point. If they left the law in the state which this clause devised they would find that at the next election the walls 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 tho majority ought 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 rife as ever at the next election. Mr. BUNBURY trusted that this clause would be maintained, but with the addition suggested by the Right Hon. Gentlema❑ (Mr. Goulburn) and with that also proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member for Ply mouth (Mr. Roundel' Palmer). If 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 he desired to postpone the clause until he could give it a careful con sideration, and with a view to embody the two sugges tions which had just 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 which 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 had 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. HEATHCOTE and Mr. ARMSTRONG, the clause was postponed. 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 Bill, 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, *as 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 that 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 oaths were abolished the 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 those who might pro fess tender consciences on that subject, and to give ge nuine - and true testimony in a court of justice, but it went and carried with it en expression cf opinion by the House of Commons, that evidence given under a less sanc tion than that of an oath was entitled to equal weight with evidence given on oath.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite satisfied that those who were concerned in the administration of public justice would feel that that was a blow struck at the heart of that justice.— (Cheers.) This he knew, that the most hardened criminal 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 stood by him were not the companions of his guilt.—(Hear, hear.) An instance cccurred not long ago. A party was charged with the commission of house-breaking in connexion with two other individuals. The defence was an alibi. The party pleaded guilty, and solemnly asserted that he was not the 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 that the parties were not 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 had done so whether right or wrong, but he saw no reason why those with whom this Bill professed to deal, who were members of the Church of England, should have the same privilege extended to them.—(Hear, hear.) But a person knowing that his testimony 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 broader grounds. Juries would be constantly asked, " Will you give the same weight to the testimony of an unsworn witness as to that of one given on oath—the testimony of one the principles of whose church recognised the taking of oaths;" 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 involved in the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said his experience at the Mansion-house and the Guildhall police-offices led him to the belief that the principle they were about to intro duce would be fraught with the utmost danger to the proper administration of justice. He had divided against the Bill, and he should do so again if an opportunity were afforded him. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the passiag of the Bill Against it . Majority . The Bill was accordingly passed. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, when the whole of the clauses were agreed to without di: 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 face that the title of this Bill had not been 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 without any title. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested that al though other business had 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 Clerk, 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 been 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- 1 draw his objection, and allow the title to be added, and the matter dropped. COPYHOLDS ENFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Mr. AGLIONBY, in moving the second reading of this Bill, excused his being t he promoter of it on the ground that he tried in vain to in duce the Government, in whose hands it ought to be, to take up the subject. The Bill was founded on the recommendation o f a _ Com mittee which fully considered the matter in 1841, a nd who repeated, 'that if such a measure would only have the effect of relieving the poor copyholders of the country from the extortion to which they were subject 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 fer 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 eonferrence of this benefit, but a very small portion of the very large property held under the most objectionable tenure of ecclesiastical jurisdiction had been voluntarily enfranchised. Nine years had already elapsed since the plan of voluntary commutation had enjoyed the benefit of legal coun 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 some change should be accomplished. The Hon. and Learned Gen 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 supporAio view of the matter. Two Bills brag Wei Urblit.iced for the same purpose, but the ddolidjof thestivilfl l 3 \ was intended to promote a com p 547Ftrafranchilemee,c throughout the whole country, awl with - Ws he could slot at all agree. The other Bill *as introduced tr_ Ole- Lord Chancellor, and he trusted that he should not lse deviled guilty of presumption in following such an stability. He had adopted a great nureber,of the earlier clibees of that Bill, and in doingso he might-v . o42ex be-feerraed of plagiarism than of want of • consideratqpn.—=tertas of" Hear, hear.) The Chancellor's Bill propotilfd that the cost of enfranchisement should fall equally ppm the landlord and the tenant, This he thought unjust, and he bad 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 to get quit of them. The present 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 than other parts of the country, but everywhere the te nure of copyholds was objectionable. He had no hesi tation, therefore, in asking the House to assent to the second reading of this Bill. Mr. HEATHCOTE thought such a measure as this 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 had a joint interest for one to force the sale of the property, without the consent of the other? He thought the Bill was in many respects a very unfair one, though he had no Fish to divide the House upon it. Mr. TURNER was very well disposed towards any well matured change in the law relating to the tenure of copyholds; and he would now inti•• mate that unless her Majesty's Ministers brought forward some measure with a view to remodel and improve the Courts of Equity in this or the ensuing session, he would feel it his duty to introduce a Bill having that end himself.—(Hear, 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 except 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 impblicy of the interference of Parliament by commission, he hoped the House would reject the Bill, and begged, therefore, to move that it be read 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. AGLIONBY 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 should 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 bo read a second time that day six months. The House then divided, when there appeared — For the second reading ... 80 Against it ... ... 55 Majority ... ... —25 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be crmaiitted. TENANTS AT RACK-RENT RELIEF BILL. On the motion for the considertion of this Bill as amended. Mr. SPOONER moved that the whole rate, instead of half the rate, pa) able for the erection of lunatic asy lums, be deducted from the rent. The motion was agreed to, and the report received. HIGHWAYS (ANNUAL RETURNS) BILL. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committcd. SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. On the rn tion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. WILLYAMS thought the measure mischievous and unnecessary, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. MACKINNON said the Bill had twice passed the House of Lords, and he saw no reason why it should not be read a second time now. Mr. THORNELY did tot think the whole subject of smoke nuisance throughout the country could be dealt with in one general Bill. It would be much better to leave the management of the smoke to the municipal authorities of each town. _ _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL remarked that the suggestion could be carried out in Committee. Mr. BRIGHT had always opposed this Bill, believing that general legislation on the subject was impracti cable. 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. KUNTZ would be glad to support this Bill if he thought it could be practically carried out, but the cir cumstances in which manufacturers were placed in va rious parts of the country were so different 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 read a second time. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The order of the day for going into Committee of Supply was read, and the Committee postponed till Friday. SHEEP STEALERS (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, and with some desultory observations, which would be perfectly unintelligible to our readers without a copy of the Bill before them, in the course of which Mr. Grainger, the Attorney-General, Mr. Keogh, and several Members took part, the Bill passed through Committee. WAYS AND MEANS. The Committee on Ways and Means was postponed. SILVER COINAGE. The Bill for regulating the silver coinage then went through Committee without opposition, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday. VENTILATION OF MINES. Mr. AGLIONBY, in the absence of •Mr. Duncombe, who was prevented attending the House from ill health, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the better ventilation of mines and collieries, for the protec tion of the lives of the persons employed in and about the same, and to make other provisions relating thereto. PHE SUN, _LONDON, _PHITRSDAY EVENING/ DISTRICT CHAPELS IN IRELAND. Mr. RAPIEi 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 CASUALTIES.—We regret to have to notice another accident on the Derby-day, arising from culpable negligence and furious driving. Dr. Hunter Lane, of Brook. street, Grosvenor square, was returning on foot from visiting a patient 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 15 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 enjoyment and recreation of 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 supp'y of water, which the Earl of Carlisle, according to Dr. Tilt'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 their health ful exercise and enliven the scene by calling into requi sition the various light and elegant boats which are afloat, in constant readiness. RAILWAY TO GALWAY.—There was 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 endugerAttuaokilffsn.gor.d their best co-operati on an d a id to y/ay deputation, and her M a j es ty' s G overnment, and pledg 'wngaTrtdnuseztniheoenuatni —The Hereford Journal says— " We do not rememb er a season when the apple blossom was more abundant ; indeed, th e orc h ards and gardens pre sent remarkable luxuriance in this res p ec t, b ut we cannot give so very favourable an account of the pear trees.

East India Corn- pany's Service, from Warly Barracks, also embarked. In command of the troops are the following officers, who also proceed to India :—Brevet-Major Arthur Sir George H. Stepnoy, 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 MISTAKE.—A good lady, who had two children sick of the measles, went to a friend for the best remedy, while the f r i en d 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: —Scald them three or four times in hot vinegar, and sprinkle them well with salt, and in a few days they will be cured. GL ASG OW.--THE WEATHER.—On Thursday, a considerable quautity of rain fell ; but yesterday there was a recurrence of the beautiful weather which pre vailed duritTg the early part of the week. - The qaantity of rain which fell on Thursday, succeeded by gen:al sun shine, must have a very beneficial effect on the crops.— North Jilritish Mail. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) T MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The 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 partiy 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 holideys. The buyers of yarns have been more disposed to operate than they were a week ago, and purchases of fair aggregate amount have been effected for India, for 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 100's. In prices at large, however, it cannot be said 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 descriptions of lights prin ters, a small advance has been realised. And we are glad to find that there has been a little more doing in deities 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 manufec• turers 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, either as regards demand or price. In yarns, there is more doing for export, the shipping houses having given out their orders more freely, but prices are rather drooping. Wool is inactive, and the quotations have still a down ward tendency. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market for woollens remains flat. The business done to-day is very trifling in amount, and the worst anticipations prevail respecting the future of the woollen trade. FRANCE. The service for the repose of the soul of the Em press Josephine, in the Church of Bueil, 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 21 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 Old Guard, M. Laity, author of the pamphlet condemned by the Chamber of Peers. Dr. Cunneau, the companion in exile of Louis Napoleon, the Prefect ofthe Seine- et-Oise,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 affairs of state ; but he sent several of his carriages. He, however, had gone on the preceding evening to pray at the tom!) of the Empress. THE INSURRECTION IN BADEN. The revolutionary Gazette of the Baden insur rection publishes a manifesto 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 troops of Prussia and 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 Hammerstein, the military Go vernor of Gallicia, has been instructed by an auto graph letter from the Austrian Emperor to place himself and his forces under the direct command of the Russian General Paskiewitsh. The Queen of Greece arrived at Vienna oa the evening of the 31st ult. Our accounts from Debreczin are that M. Szemere 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 instructions of great severity. The counties which are at a dis tance from the scene of war are placed under the jurisd;ction of the usual civic authorities. The clergy of all sects are wandering about the country in their clerical costumes, and preaching a crusade against the foreign invaders. A report of M. Messaros (late Minister of War) states that the Hungarian army, including the free corps, amounts to 396,000 organized troops. To these will be added the 50,000 fresh levies which the Debreczin Parliament lately voted. These troops are divided into 11 corps, and commanded by the follow ing Generals :—Bem, a Pole ; Georgey, an Hungarian; Damianitsh, a Croat ; Perczel, an Hungarian; Guyon, an Irishman ; Klapka, a Raze; Dannemberg, an , Hungarian from St. Mikolz ; Gaspar, a Slowake; Vetter, an Hungarian; and Aulich, a German. Their cavalry consist of 27 regiments of regulars, each of 2,000 t o 2,400 men, a n d of 40,000 irregulars. They have 408 pieces of artillery, most of which are 12 and 18-pounders. _ _ _ In the sitting of the Hungarian Parliament at Debreczin of the 14th ult., the Speaker, M. Amashy, 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 office, he informed them that the Governor during the interregnum, the man whom the House and the people had elected to that post of trust and import. ance, 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 tuth, elected Governor by the National Assembly, swear that I will maintain the declaration of inde pendence of the nation in all its consequences ; that I 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 take their oaths to the Chief Magistrate of the interregnum. All the Ministers were sworn, and the House then adjourned.

AMSTERDAM, JUNE 4.—The transactions on the money market were altogether of a favourable ten dency to-day—all the funds, national as well as foreign, were rated at higher exchange; and French stock not merely recovered its former tone, but 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 suc cessor with the same zeal and earnestness which they had invariably displayed while ho 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 Studs 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. In regard to the diplomacy of the Hague the Nation says— We are lost in conjectures respecting the pro ject of the Cabinet of the Hague; one thing is evident, that the Queen Dowager is acting the part of a Maria Theresa. It appears that a project of law has been planned, of no less importance than that of re-establishing the treaty of 1815, with modifications, for the purpose of opposing a barrier to France. A new kingdom of the Netherlands is to be erected, composed of the conquests of Louis XIV., of Belgium, of the Rhenish provinces, and of Hol land, which will constitute a state cont a i n i ng a b out fift e en millions of inhabitants.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.—The United States Government has taken steps to prosecute the search after Sir John Franklin's expedition. It appears by a telegraphic dispatch from Washington, that Captain Wilkes is to have command of one of the ships. In a letter relative to the search for Sir John Franklin, Capt. Wilkes says that time would not permit, this winter, to make any effort in the A rctic Ocean in search of Sir John Franklin, other than for the Navy Department to dispatch a smaller vessel from the western coast of America to notify to the whale -ships that they should be oa the look out. He add;, that " what is now required is a speedy exploration of the Wellington channel. Th e distance from our shores is not greater than that to Europe, and the voyage may be readily performed in 45 days. IF vessels were now fitted, they would be in time for the saason, which opens about the middle of July, and would be able to explore this channel thoroughly to its furthest extent or navigable point, and, if not to succour, they will ascertain whether Sir John Franklin had taken that route, and return safely back before winter, with tidings."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEIV'S BENCH, June 6. THE QUEEN V. PARHAM. This was a writ of quo watranto, issued by this court, to ascertain by what authority Mr. Parham 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 against the rule, contended that one pcfson was competent to hold office as judge of 100 county courts under 100 sepa rate appointments, if he was able to fulfil the duties of each office. If there was a separate appointment to each district there would be 640 judges of county courts iu England and Wales. The Same Observations he said opphed 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. I (Sittings in B anco.) RINNERSLET V. KNOTT.—A DISQUISITION ON NAMES. In this case the plaintiff, an endorser of a bill of ex change for 651. 103., brought an action against the de fendant as the acceptor, and declared against him by the name of " John M. Knott," being that by which he had signed 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 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 and 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 1), &ce 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 demurrable? Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—I say that " M" by itself cannot be pronounced, and means nothing; but here it does mean something, which something ought to have been stated or explained under the statute. Suppose a person of the name of John Robins, the Court would surely hold a declaration bad which described him by the word John and figures of the redbreast! In like manner the Court would hold this declaration bad, be cause it• either put a sign for one of the defendant's names; or described it by the initial letter. A conso nant by itself was a mere sound withcut meaning. The letter H, indeed, by the custom of London and some other places, was no sound at all—(Laughter)—though elsev here it protruded itself on all occasions. —(Re newed laughter.) Mr. Justice MAULE—I had 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 betical letter.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—It will, probably, be con tended that this person might have been christened in the manner the bill is signed, hilt 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—Then having, I hope, con vinced the Court thut " M " by itself cannot be a name, and means nothing, I submit it must be understood as an initial, and therefore that it ought to have been so stated. • Mr. Justice MAULE—Pleadings are in writing, there fore the law presumes that the Court can read and know its letters. Yoe els 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 the 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, for instance, we find persons spoken of in this manner. In " Clarissa Her lowe " for instance, " Lord M." is mentioned through out 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 Lord Chief Justice (Charles Lamb) wrote a farce entitled simply " Mr. H." but the whole turns upon 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 and a dash—, When vice reduced in size shrinks to a failing, And loses half her progress by curtailing, Faux pas are told in such a modest way, The affair of Colonel B— with Mrs. A—, You must forgive them; for what is there, say, Which such a pliant Vowel must not grant, 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 Mute." 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 Cmsar to express, Her Scipio sunk into a Roman 5 And nick'd and dock'd to those new modes of speech, Great Hannibal himself to Mr. H—." The Learned Sergeant then cited and argued upon a variety of cases on his side of the question, and sub. mitted that their Lordships ought to decide in favour of his client. Mr. F. ROBINSON, on behalf of the plaintiff, said Le did not deny the right of every Englishman to be called by every name given to him at his baptism; but he submitted that before he claimed to be privileged on that account, he must show that his privilege has been invaded. Here it was assumed throughout that the " M." in the name " John M. Knott" was an initial 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? It; however, it were an initial letter, why did not his friend apply to have the right name substituted? If it were a misdescription, it was plead able in abatement. Such a name might originate from an error of the clergyman at the christening. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—In the upper circles of society it is customary to hand in the name in writing, which prevents mistake. Mr. Justice MAULE—The practice of the circles with which I am conversant was, and I believe is, to give the name verbally. There was, however, a gentleman, the sheriff of one of the counties I went through on circuit, Mr. John Wanley Sawbridge Erle Drax, whose name was very probably handed in.—(Laughter.) Mr. Ronneson—There are many Scotch and French names, such as M`Donald, NTaggart, D'Harcourt, D'Horsey—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 MaunE—But that is not spelt so ; it is idem per idem, X for ex. Beer, I believe, is sometimes called X, but not water. Mr. ROBINSON—There are some of our names which are precisely those of letters, as Gee, Jay, Kay, &a. Mr. ,Justice MAULE—But here it is not sonans, only consonans, and cannot be sounded without other letters. Mr. RomNsoes---Their Lordships should remember the existence of a publication called the Fondle 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 Caasrvizeit, 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 " and the said Richard, sued by the name of Robert," was held bad. Mr. Justice MAULE suggested that as 65/. 103. de pended upon the question, it would be better for the plaintiff to amend. Mr. ROBINSON 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 case have been already discussed and decided. The courts have decided that they will not assume that a consonant letter expresses a name, but they will assume it expresses en initial only .; and they further decided that the insertion of an initial letter is ground of demurrer, and is not merely an irre gularity. In the case of " Nash v. Collier, this Court decided that a demurrer to the declaration which de scribed the defendant's name as 'William Ilenry_l\ 7 ". Col lier was not frivolous, and gave a strong intimation, which the plaintiff had the good sense to attend to, that he ought to amend his declaration. What decision was acted upod by the Court of Exchequer in the subse quent 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 AicLrman Gibbs and Garden, on the charge of commissioning Mr. Barton, of Tlarogmorton street, stockbroker, to purchase 1,000/.. worth London and North-Western Railway stock, which stock was purchased, and which she refused to pay for, or the loss thereon, amounting to 37/. 18s. Mr. Huddleston, the barrister, and Mr. Hobler, the solicitor, attended as before, to prosecute on behalf of some members of the Stock Exchange, and Mr. Wontner attended to watch the case for the prisoner. Mr. Huddleston said that since the last examination they had not had sufficient time to obtain such evi dence on certain points as to satisfy the mind of the worthy Alderm in. 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 justify a committal, and that, iu fact, it was not a valuable document. 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 gentleman named Fenton, who said that Mr. Burgoyne was in a bad state of health, and if brought to London at present tha cxcitement might prove fatal to him. Under those circumstances he was unable to prove she was a person without 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. In support of this view, in the case of the Queen v. Perry, 1 Dannison's Crown Cases, p. 69, tried at the last spring assizes, before the fifteen Judges, a prisoner was chargea in one count 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 shown 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 ho 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 Ginn's—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, ho considered there was no case established against her, and therefore she was discharged. If at any future time sufficient proof was obtained, then they could give her into custody again. Alderman Gins (addressing the prisoner)—Did you receive a letter at the Compter from your brother Bur goyne? Mrs. Stultz—l did. Aldermen GIBBS—WeII, I have a copy of it, and you 9ow_know what I think of you. Mrs. Stultz held down her head and made no reply. She was then discharged from custody. SOUTHWARK. 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 20C/. 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 bequeathed 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 divided between her and her brother (the prisoner). On calling at the in surance-office, however, a few days age, on the 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 that 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 father 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 that the policy of insurance referred to was deposited in a tin box, and that she was to receive half 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 should be taken of her by the Prisoner, with whom she was not 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 Company 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, and that the money was to have been paid to him on Wednesday last, bad not the complainant (his sister) called there in the interim and 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 accusation against him; that it was true his father left his property equally between him and his sister, with the exception of the policy of insurance, which he 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. Ho 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 called on to witness the deceased (Mr. Richards) execute the deed produced, assigning the policy of insurance to his son (the prisoner), and that upon that occasion he (witness) read over the document to the old gentleman, whom he afterwards saw attach his signature to it. The deed 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 assign ing the policy of insurance to the prisoner? The coin. plainant replied that the deed purported to have been executed eight or ten days subsequently to that of the will. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that the case was fraught with suspicion. The accused, however, had called forward a witness who was in his employ, and who bad sworn that he saw the deceased attach his signature to the deed. He (the Magistrate) would not, therefore, entertain the charge as alleged against the prisoner, but would advise the complainant to enter an action against the prisoner, and that he had no doubt, if she would indemnify the insurance company, they would withhold the payment of the amount of the policy to the prisoner until the ques tion was tried before another tribunal. The prisoner was then discharged. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. DIVIDENDS. At the Court, Basinghall-street. 3, Gale, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, bookseller, June 26, at eleveu—M. J.
