IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) • STANDING ORDERS. Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved the consideration of the report of the Standing Orders Revision Committee. He said the committee had endeavoured as far as possible to make their standing orders agree with those of the Upper House. They had also determined that for the future no member, locally or otherwise interested in any private till before a select committee, shall be a mem ber of that committee. Mr. F. FRENCH drew attention to the very high fees at present charged on getting private bills passed through committee, and hoped some plan would be adopted to lessen those charges. Mr. SPOONER objected to the rule laid down by the committee excluding members locally interested from being members of a committee on private bills, as he considered such members, from their local knowledge, were of the greatest service on such committees. Mr. BROTHERTON concurred in the objection of the hon. member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner). Mr. SOTHERON defended the rule laid down by the committee. He considered that members locally in terested in a private bill would be of far greater service by giving evidence before the committee as witnesses than in the anomalous position of members of the com mittee. Mr. BARROW expressed his concurrence in the view of the rule expressed by the hon. member for North Warwickshire. Mr. BOUVERIE said the local member was by the rules excluded from acting as a judge on private bills ; and as an advocate, he must also be excluded, so that the only character he could appear in would be as a witness. There was, however, one objection to that, because there was no means of cross•examining him. There were no local members on railway bills, and he never heard yet that the public interest suffered from that fact. (Hear.) He therefore hoped the house would s upport the report of the committee. After a few observations by Sir R. FERGUSON, Mr. DEEDES, and Sir J. DUCK WORTH , Lord SEYMOUR said he thought they had better at once adopt the rule of the committee and exclude local members altogether as members of committees on pri vate bills, and admit them only as witnesses. Mr. MUNTZ also considered it better to admit local members as witnesses only. He also thought it would be much better if all witnesses before committees should be examined upon oath. (Hear.) After some observations from Sir W. TIEATHCOTE, in reply, stating hie readiness to adopt the amendment of Mr. Deedes, Sir G. GREY said he thought that the majority of the house was in favour of the proposition of the com mittee, and it would, therefore, be better at once to adopt it and leave local members to be examined as wit nesses. _ Mr. ALCOCK could not agree with the suggestion of the hon. member for Birmingham, that it was neceszary to have members sworn before they gave evidence before a committee. He agreed, however, with the proposition that local members should not sit on committees where the interests of their constituents were at stake. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE supported the report of the committee. After some observations from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY and Mr. APSLEY PELLArr, Mr. BROTHERTON expressed a hope that the hon. member for North Warwickshire would not divide the house upon this question. Mr. R. SPOONER said be felt so strongly upon the question that he felt compelled to divide the house upon it. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the proposition of the committee Against it 57 Majority The report was therefore agreed to without any mate rial amendments. EPISCOPAL AND CA.PITITLAR ESTATES BILL. On the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee on this bill, - The Marquis of BLANDFORD withdrew the,bill, after a few observations, seeing no chance of successfully proceeding with it during the present session. In adopting this course he did not deviate from the prin ciple he had set out with in bringing forward the mea sure, believing that in another session that principle would be adopted if the Government would only con sider the subject during the recess. His only object in bringing forward the bill was to make the Church of England spiritually, ecclesiastically, and politically the true representative of the religion of the country. Sir G. GREY assured the noble marquis that this important subject would receive the best consideration of the Government during the recess, and every endea vour would b e ma d e t o carry ou t, Where they could be done effectually, the principles put forward in the mea sure. Mr. LIDDELL approved of the course adopted by the noble marquis withdrawing the bill, and felt grati fied that the Government had expressed a determination to give a measure of such importance their best con sideration. After some observations from Lord John Manners, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. A. Pellatt, the bill was withdrawn. DWELLINGS FOR LABOURING CLASSES (I REL AN D) BILL. On the motion that the house should resolve itself into a committee on this bill, Mr. Mr.MAHON moved as an amendment, that the house should go into' committee on the bill that day three months. He looked upon the mea sure as a petty, paltry, and trumpery mode of legis lation, and totally unworthy of the consideration of the house. Mr. DE VERE seconded the amendment, and con curred in all that bud been said by the bon. member for Wexford. He thought the bill imposed a clumsy restric tion upon the power of eviction, and thereby reduced landlords to improve the houses of their tenantry. Sir W. SOMERVILLE supported the motion for going into committee on the bill, considering that the present condition of the Irish labourers' dwellings was a disgrace to that country. He considered that such a state of things was brought about by the difficulty and expense of eviction ; and he believed that the present measure, by giving facilities to the obtaining possession by the landlord, would be productive of the best effects. The present was a measure which he believed would be productive of the best results, and his only wish wal to carry it through the house without opposition. He could not but express his surprise at the course that had been adopted by the bon. and learned member for Wex ford. Mr. J. FITZGERALD gave' the right hon. baronet who had introduced the bill credit for the most philan thropic motives in bringing forward this measure. But there were objections to the bill, which he should pro ceed to specify, and to state the course he (Mr. Fitz gerald) intended to pursue with regard to it. The bill now before the house was based upon the Summary Jurisdiction Act of 1851, of some clauses in which he could by no means express himself in favour. We were now asked to extend that measure so as to take in the cettier tenantry of the country, where the house was let with half an acre of land. Now in some instances it occurred that magistrates themselves were the landlor.ls ; and. the principal objection to the act was that it would place the magistrate in a position in which his duty and his interest conflicted. This, he contended, was far from equitable or just. This, however, might be remedied by giving an appeal to Quarter Sessions in case of dispute. Again, the bill would not apply to the ordinary relations of landlord and tenant —namely, in cases of tenantcy at will and tenantciee for longer than a year. He recoin • mended that some alterations, with these views in parti lar, should be made in the bill; and that it should, in the meanwhile, be withdrawn. (H ear. ) Mr. NAPIER supported the bill, b ecause he believed in his conscience that it would promote the social well being of the labouring classes in Ireland. Sir T. BURKE had hoard the statements of the right hon. baronet (Sir W. Somerville) with great pleasure, and believed the bill was calculated to be the most bene ficial of avy measures that had yet been introduced for the amelioration of the social condition' of the humbler classes in Ireland. It was on this broad and general ground that he gave it his most cordial support. Colonel GREVILLE thought that a few alterations in the bill would be advisable before its further progress was pressed forward. Mr. 11. HERBERT supported the bill in principle, but contended that the objection s raised against it would be better considered in committee. Mr. MAGUIRE was not going to enter into a ques tion already discussed. Aa, however' the Government had counselled the withdrawal of the bill, on account of certain, as he considered, very proper objections, he put it to the right hon. mover whether it would not be better to be withdrawny; particularly as in its present stage it had elicited, on the whole, so satisfactory a discussion. Re contended that a bill of this , kind ought to be introduced by the Government, and not by a private member. Besides, if this bill w ent i nto committee there was no chance of its coming before the House of Lords before Monday next, and unless it did, according to established rule in the Upper House, it would not be considered. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. GROGAN', Mr. KENNEDY, and Mr. PAGAN, Mr. HORSMAN regretted that the house was going to a division without some acquiescence, on the part of the right honourable baronet, in the objections urged by the Solicitor-General for Ireland (Mr. Fitzgerald). He thought these objections were so obvious and palpa ble, that they were worthy of every consideration. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said it would be perfectly useless for him to assent to any proposals of his hon. and learned friend which would impede the progress of the bill. Ile should much prefe r going into committee upon the bill ; but as he could not agree with the vali dity of the objections urged agamst the measure at this stage of its progress he should take the opinion of the house upon a division. Sergeant SHEE said it was absolutely impossible that tha bill could pass this session unless the right h on . baronet consented to the amendments pointed out, After some further discussion, the house divided, wh en themumbers were— For the bill 124 A g ain st 6B Majority bill. The hou se accordingly went into committee upon the After a long discussion, clause 1 was agreed to, and the chairman reported progress. NW ME.

The main test of ability and the best pledge of success in the art of war might be defined to be the power of employing military resources to the best advantage. We read the memorable story of General Bonaparte, s first Italian campaigns, and of the still more astonishing struggle of the Emperor Napoleon in 1814 against the hosts of a European coalition, with a far deeper interest than we find in the movements of the overgrown legions of the Grande Armee in its march to Moscow. The Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula proionging the resistance of Spanish patriots at the head of 40,000 British troops against the enormously superior armies of the French Marshals affords us one of the grandest military lessons in history, for it teaches us that victory does not alWays follow the "big battalions," when genius and resolution are on the other side. In other words, an army of com paratively small numbers, commanded by a general who is thoroughly master of his weapons, and prepared to obtain from that army the best services it can perform, is far more formidable to an enemy than a more numerous array of combatants labouring with the difficulties of a divided command, and not vigorously directed to a common object. It is a difficult thing to command 30,000 men with teal judgment, but it is far more difficult to command 100,000 men, so as to bring every part of that vast and complicated machine into uniform and simultaneous action, to place every branch of the service and every man of the forces in the most suitable position, and to be the central and motive power ' of so great a multitude. Yet, without this power of command, which gives the strength of 100,000 arms to the will of a single man, it is impossible to carry on war with success, and the greatest sacrifices will be made in vain. (From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 18. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simpson, Commanding her Majesty's Forces in the East. Before Sebastopol, July 7, 1855. My Lord,—l have the honour to acquaint your Lord ship that the remains of our late lamented Commander in -Chief, Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, were removed from Head-quarters to Kazatch Bay, on Tuesday the 3d inst., and placed on board her Majesty's ship Caradoo, which departed for England that same evening. Nothing could be more imposing than the whole line of this melancholy procession. The day was fine, and the appearance of the aliied troops splendid ; as many as could be spared from duty in the trenches, and with safety to their camp, were collected, and the procession moved from the door of this house exactly at four o'clock p.m., in the following order : In the court-yard of the house was stationed a guard of honour of one hundred men of the Grenadier Guards, with their drums and regimental colours ; fifty men, with one field officer, one captain, and one subaltern, from the Royal Sappers and Miners and from each regi ment, lined the road from the British to the French head-quarters, a distance of about a mile ; a squadron of cavalry was stationed on the right of the line, two batteries of artillery and a squadron of cavalry on the left of it ; the infantry were commanded by Major- General Eyre, C.B. The road from the French head-quarters to Kazatch Bay was lined throughout the whole way by the infan try of the French Imperial Guard, and of the Ist corps ; bands were stationed at intervals and played as the pro cession passed, and field batteries (French) at intervals, on the high grounds right and left of the road, fired mi nute guns. The procession to escort the body was as follows : Two squadrons British Cavalry (12th Lancers.) Two squadrons Piedmontese Light Cavalry. Four squadrons French Chasseurs d'Afrique (Ist and 4th Regiments). Four squadrons French Cuirassiers (2d and 9th Regi ments). Two troops French Horse Artillery. Major Lrandling's troop Horse Artillery. The coffin, covered with a black pall, fringed with white silk, and the - Union Jack, and surmounted by the late Field-Marshal's cocked hat and sword, and a gar land of " Immortels," placed there by General Pelissier, was carried on a platform, fixed upon a 9-pounder gun, drawn by horses of Captain Thomas's troop Royal Horse Artillery. These reflections are naturally suggested to us by the present' position and past achievements of the allied armies in the Crimea. In enga g ing in that great expe dition the Governments of England and France traced out the political plan of the campaign, for which they hold themselves, and must ever remain, responsible. They selected the officers whom they thought best qua lified in their respective services to conduct the opera tions, and, although a very large proportion of these gal lant veterans have broken down in health or from other causes, it cannot be affirmed that any other choice was possible at the outset of the war. These commanders were furnished with what were supposed to be.ample re sources, and, although the first estimate of the duty to be performed was far below the mark, the deficiencies of the armies have since been supplied with unparalleled profusion. The immense numbers of efficient troops which have been conveyed to the Crimea, and are still on their way thither—the enormous siege trains of both armies, which have been three or four times renewed —the incalculable consumption and supply of muni tions of war—the unceasing conveyance of all that is necessary for the sustenance of such vast armies— and, above all, the magnitude of the steam transport service by which these prodigies have been effected, all concur to render the Crimean expedition one of the greatest undertakings in history, and the two most powerful nations of the world have spared nothing to insure its success. Having provided these extraordinary resources, the allied Governments wisely left them almost absolutely and entirely at the disposal of the Generals on the spot, and upon them the strategical responsibility of the campaign devolves ; but, with the utmost desire to put a favourable construction on the actions and in tentions of men whose devotion to the service of their respective countries is beyond all doubt, we confess our inability to discover indications of a well-conceived gene ral plan of operations on a scale commensurate with the amount of the forces under their orders. General Pelissier has directed his whole energy since he assumed the chief command of the French army to the prosecution of the siege. He succeeded on the 7th of June in the occupation of the Mamelon ; he then con centrated all his force o n th e M a l a kh o ff works, leaving the Redan to the English, and desisting entirely from the left attack. We have no doubt that, as far as the siege is concerned, this course of action is the most rational, and the last telegraphic despatch shows that the French have advanced their adibuscades to the glacis of the Malakhoff Tower. But theseare operations which can be carried on by 50,000 or 60,000 men as rapidly and effectually as by a far greater number. In fact, the number of men who can be engaged in the siege of a single point is limited by the extent of the works, and, provided the reliefs are sufficiently frequent, nothing is gained by any amount of troops beyond those ac tually engaged. The advantage to be derived from large additional forces or reserves consists in the pos sibility of extending the operations of the invading army, by selecting fresh points of attack, by making diversions, and by endeavouring to cut off the commu nications of the enemy. In the present case this power is vastly increased by the naval resources at the com mand of the Generals, for, as the expedition to Kertch proved, it is in their power at any moment to throw a corps of from 15,000 to 30,000 men on any point where the enemy may be least prepared to receive them, and this while the Russiaps are wholly destitute of similar facilities of locomtion. A very superficial acquaintance with the subject suffices to point out an infinite number of partial enterprises of this nature, but of these only one has been attempted, and, although the attack on Kertch and the Sea of Azoff was highly successful, we know that it was not undertaken without infinite heel- , tation and delay, and it has not been repeated. All this time, it must be observed, that the Sardinian army, which landed in the Crimea about two months ago in the highest state of efficiency, has not once been seriously engaged with the enemy, although it has suffered severely from cholera and inaction. The operations of the Turks havealso been confined to a reconnaissance by Omer Pasha in the mountains behind Balaklava and the occupation of Yenikale, and the main body have now returned to their old quarters behind Balaklava. Eupa toria is admitted to be a strategical point of great impor tance ; it has defied the attempts of the Russians to re capture it, but it has not at present been used for any offensive purpose. It is probably true that the hilly region between Balaklavaand Bakshi-Serai presents con siderable obstacles to the passage of troops, and that the Russians have made the most of their superior know ledge of the country. Yet 'we must question whether some twenty miles of a district resembling Derby shire or the Welsh hills can present an impassable barrier to men who have ere this forced the Hiudoo ghauts and the gorges of the Atlas. At any rate, the whole western coast of the Crimea is quite open to attack, 'and an army advancing be tween the Alma and the Katcha, or between the Katcha and the Belbek, would have a supply of water and a wooded country to cover each of its flanks. Or, if these enterprises appear too hazardous for the army, it would nct be impossible to find more active employment for the fleet. Nothing has been attempted against Odessa, or the forts of Kim bourn and Oczakow, which guard the entrance to the bay of Cherson, the estuary into which the Dnieper and the Bug discharge their waters. This spot is well known to be one of the principal depots of military and. naval stores of the Rus sian empire, and of provisions for the army ; and, although we do not know how far it is possible to ap preach Cherson and Nicolaieff, we cannot but think that the seamen who found their way within gunshot of Taganrog would pilot a gunboat near enough to those areenals. Even the mouth of the Danube has not been attempted, although the Admirals have now a flotilla of gunboats capable of passing the bar. We have no doubt that there are valid objections against some of these operations, though we believe that none is so desperate or - hopeless that it might not be tried. But we throw out these suggestions from the conviction that the worst policy we can adopt is that of inaction. Already we fear that the most favour able season for a campaign in the Crimea, when the herbage still affords food to the animals of the army, has passed away. August-is probably the least available month of the summer for such a purpose, and, although the sanitary condition of the army is wonderfully good, the fall of the year and the fruit season are always dangerous in these climates. Moreover, it is evident that the Russians, relieved in great measure from the necessity of maintaining a large force on the frontier of Germany, are collecting troops in the Governments of Podolia and Cherson for an autumnal campaign in the Crimea. The extraordinary quiescence of their forces in the interior for many months past is an unexpected piece of good fortune, but it was the interest of the allied armies to avail themselves of it ; else why were the French reserves hurried off by orders from Paris nearly two months ago, and why were the Sardinians brought into the field ? We make these remarks in no spirit of censure or animadversion on any one. Indeed it is impossible to ascertain, if there be any blame, where it ought to rest. But, we repeat, success is not to be looked for without a plan of operations proportioned to the magnitude of our military and naval resources ; and such a plan must be executed by a mind capable of embracing and directing the whole. Nobody can make war piecemeal ; and, though we may have that amount of success which we shall always owe to the valour of English and French troops, yet higher military qualities than even valour are required before we can command victory or secure peace.—Times. At the wheels of the gun-carriage rode Gen. Pelissier, Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, His Highness Omer Pacha, Commander-in-Chief of the Ottoman Army, Gen. de La Marmora, Commander-in-Chief of the Sar dinian Army, and Lieutenant-Gereral Simpson, Com mander-in-Chief of the English Army.

Two field batteries of the Royal Artillery, stationed on the bill opposite the house, fired a salute of nineteen guns, when the procession moved off. The united bands of the 3d, 9th, and 62d Regiments, stationed in the vineyard that surrounds the house, played the Dead March. The band of the Sardinian Grenadiers was stationed half way to the French Head-quarters, and the baud of the 10th Hussars on the left of the line. The approach to the wharf at Kazatch Bay was lined by detachments of the Royal Marines and sailors. The body was received on the wharf by Admiral Bruat and Rear-Admiral Stewart, C. 8., and a large number of officers of the combined fleets. The launch of the • Bri tish flag-ship, towed by man-Of-war boats, conveyed the coffin to the Caradoc, the boats of the combined fleets forming an escort ; and the troop and battery of the Royal Artillery included in the escort, formed upon the risingground above the bay, and fired a salute of 19 guns as the coffin left the shore. Everything was well conducted, and no accident oc curred. 1.1 Foot—Privates Patrick Carroll, slightly ; James Smith, slightly; Ephraim Crook, slightly. 17th Foot—Private Thomas Cosgrove, slightly. 34th Foot—Privates Thomas Chapman, severely; Timothy Coffey, severely. 41st Foot—Private Joseph Bishop, severely. 42d Foot—Private Henry Cook, severely. 47th Foot—Privates George Broadbent, severely ; John Muirhead, slightly. 68th Foot—Private Peter Bonus, slightly. 72d Foot—Private John Duff, slightly. 77th Foot—Privates Roger Mullin, dangerously ; William Stanton, severely. 88th Foot—Private Robert Lynch, dangerously. 89th Foot—Private John Kelly, slightly. 90th Foot—Privates James Nunn, slightly; and Michael Ryan, severely.

The twelvemonth's notice requisite in such cases was issued yesterday from.the India House, of a resolution of the Cotirt of Directors to lower the rate of interest on India Bonds from 4 per cent., at which it has stood since the 24th of May, 1854, to 3i per cent. The reduction will consequently date from the 21st of July, 1556. The measure has been expected for some weeks, and is cal culated to act favourably upon the money market and the shares of the guaranteed Indian railway lines. Holders of the bonds agreeing to accept the reduction must signify the same by the 21st of January next, or they will be liable to be paid off. REMARKABLE CABE OF ROBBERY AND SUICIDE.-- The Sun of yesterday contained a brief announcement to the effect that the postmaster of Amsterdam, who had been apprehended on Tuesday afternoon in that town, charged with absconding with 8001., had hanged him self in the Bridewell soon after being taken into custody. Yesterday (Wednesday) an inquest was held before the borough coroner, at which the faCts of the case trans pired. A day or two ago Jan Hanjik, postmaster at Amsterdam, absconded from that town with Dutch securities to the value of 8001. It seems that he pro ceeded direct to Liverpool, and on Monday succeeded in cashing the bills at the office of Mr.Caffre, moneybroker, in Waterloo-road, who, however, before giving him the money, had made some inquiries at the office of the Dutch Consul. On Monday evening Vie police authori ties at Liverpool received information of the robbery from Amsterdam, with a description of the absconding paymaster, which led to his apprehension on Tuesdayiby Inspector Murphy, of the deteetive department. He was taken to Bridewell, and in the evening he was found sus pended by the neck from one of the bars of his celkand, altgough immediately cut'down, life was extinct. A ver dict of felo de se way returned. The . whole of the money has been recovered, THE SUN, LONDON ; THURSDAY F,VI4INING, JULY 19 1855, THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN HYDE PARK. INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE. (Continued from our impression of yesterday.) Examination of Mr. Win. Davis, professor of music, 84, Wimpole-street, Cavendish square, continued. By Mr. Ellice—The police struck across the railings' as they moved in front of them. He did not see them strike any one at that time, because the people drew back to avoid it. In the distance ho saw the police striking hard, but he was unable to identify any par ticular case. The police then made a rush and the people retreated. He attended there from curiosity. By Recorder of Manchester—That no doubt was the case with the majority of the people who were there. Mr. Adam Holding, waste paper-dealer, 22, Marsham street, Westminster, was in the Park with his wife on the Ist inst. about four o'clock. They were sitting on a heap of rubbish near the receiving -house reading the Family Herald. He heard a rush and left his wife to see what it was. He found the police were forming iu a circle, and happening to get into the midst of them the superintendent on duty directed policeman 12 A to take him into custody. He was accordingly seized by the police near to the Receiving-house, and when there the Humane Society man said he had never seen such a vagabond before, and requested the policeman to put on handcuffs he produced, which was done by policeman 12 A, and he was conveyed with them on to Vine-station in a cab, where he was kept in custody until four o'clock on Tuesday. Whilst at the Humane Society house a man was brought in wet, as if he had. been in the water, when the policeman said, " Oh, you obstinate devil, see how many men it has taken to bring you in," and at the same time struck him a violent blow on the nose, which felled him to the ground. Police constable 12 A saw the occurrence. When brought up at Vine-street station no charge was preferred against him, and he was discharged ; in the Park he had five or six policemen on him. He took no part whatever in the disturbances. By Recorder of London—When you were taken and the handcuffs put on were you charged with any offence ? --Only with shouting. Mr. William Stephens, hair dresser, 19, Gre a t Mary lebone-street, Portland-place, was in Park-street on the Ist instant about six o'clock. There 'was a little hissing . and shouting, with a rush on the part of- the people assembled near Lord R. Grosvenor's house. He stood up to let the people pass, and as he was turn ing to proceed home he received a blow on the back, and on looking round to see who did it he was struck in the mouth by a policeman's fist, followed by a series of blows and knocked into the road. His eye was blackened, his mouth much cut and teeth loosened, and his coat torn. He believed he was struck with the truncheon and fist by Police-constable 80 C. No attempt was made to take him into custody. When on the ground he was kicked on the chest by a police man. It must have been by a policeman, for no other person was present. A gentleman called from a window, "Take their numbers.' He tried to do so, when he re ceived a blow from a truncheon on the right side of the head which knocked him into the road, and he recollected no more until he found himself in a cab. He drove to the police station in Marylebone-lane in company with four persons, and preferred a charge which the officer stated should be forwarded to Vine-street.. On attending at Marlborough-street for a summons on the following day, he was twice refused admittance to the sitting ma gistrate. The crowd was not so great but persons could pass easily through Park-street. He saw no windows broken at Lord R. Grosvenor's residence. Mr. Ellice said that policeman 80 C was in a different cart of London to that stated by the complainant. Complainant said he only knew the number from what his witnesses had informed him. Mr. Mitchell said he had several witnesses in the case. Complainant did not go to Vine-street for a summons, because he was informed complaints against the police must be made at Scotlaid-yard, and in writing. Elizabeth Bloxam, 35, George-street, Grosvenor-square, servant at a coffee-house, was in Hyde-park on the Ist inst. for her usual afternoon walk. When by the Ser pentine, near the bridge by Albert-gate, she heard some boys shouting, "Go to church." She saw two men on horseback call a policeman ; the one on a Chesnut horse saying, "Use your staves, men." The police gave the people no chance of getting away, but rushed at them with their staves, knocking the people down. Two or three were knocked down near where she was standing. One policeman told her if she did not get away he would "rough her." She saw one man cut on the head, and the blood streaming over his face. In making her way borne she went through Park-street, and when near Lord R. Grosvenor's house she heard " hurrahing." They were waiting to escort him to church, and they wished to know if he rode or walked. She saw the attack on the hest witness, in which four or five policemen took part. She heard one say, "Break his d ---d neck or back," she could not exactly, say which. Mr. Stephens' bat fell off, which a policeman kicked, and afterwards stamped upon it. Mr. Stephens said, ‘f Oh, my. God, what are you going to do to me." Police constable, 80, but what letter she could not say, went back and struck him, saying, "that is what I am going to do to you." She took the number of the policeman, but did not trou ble about the letter. She thought she should know him again. The gentry from the balconies of the houses directed the people to take the numbers of the police. Mr. Stephens did not offer any resistance, but she should had she been a man and similarly circum stanced. (Laughter.) Mr. William Humphreys, boot-closer, 3, Marylebone lane, was in the Park on the Ist of July. He was there from 2 o'clock to about 6 o'clock. Superintendent Hughes was riding up and down on a chestnut horse in company with another superintendent on a black horse. The youths in the crowd called to the people to go to church, and made jocular remarks on those who passed. Witness saw one high-spirited horse run away. He described the attack of the police on the people, in clearing them from the rails, similar to the other wit nesses examined. He was of opinion the disturbance occurred from the police causelessly attacking the people. The Park was quieter on this day than on the previous Sunday. The majority of the people discussed the question of Sunday trading amongst them selves quietly. They thought it was very hard that re spectable working men should suffer for the drunken few, and be deprived of recreation on the only day of the week they had to themselves. He was much pleased with the appearance and conduct of the working men there assembled. There were a few disorderlies, as was the case in all large assemblages of people. The witness described the con duct of the police near Apsley-house, where a party of them kept a number of lads between them, driving them forwards and backwards, for ten minutes. He saw the attack 'on Mr. Stephens, and said he was con fident the policeman who struck him was 80 C. Ile saw 84 C strike him twice on the back, and kick him as he was leaving. Had not the inhabitants called from the balconies to the people to take the number of the police he firmly believed Mr. Stephens would have been killed in Park-street. He saw police sergeant 21 0 stand in the road, look round, and then run after peaceable persons and knock them down. Witness had to run away to protect himself. The Po lice Sergeant acted like a mad man. The object of the police was, no doubt, to clear the mob assembled in front of Lord R. Grosvenor's house, but it was done-in a very brutal manner. There was a larger num• her of " roughs" before Lord - It. Grosvenoes house than he saw in the park. If the police Lad acted on this day the same as they did on the pre vious Sunday all would have passed off quiet. The shouting was mostly by foolish boys. Mr. John Hughes, commercial traveller, 35, Park street, Grosvenor-square, was in the Park. He saw the police strike several persons, and he also saw persons with broken heads. He returned home, and about half past 6 o'clock he saw several hundred persons in front of Lord R. Grosvenor's house. A. few policemen were amongst them. The crowd was shouting, but did not appear mischievously disposed. About 100 policemen shortly after came up Park-street, and charged the people, who flew in all directions, the police pursuing them. ha about two minutes the place was perfectly clear. The next thing that attracted his attention was the conduct of the police towards Mr. Stephens, each one giving him a disagreeable hit with his truncheon. One policeman followed him up, and struck him five or six times in the face with his fist. An ot h er s t ruc k hi m on the back, and as the police appeared to have no inten tion or wish to take Mr. Stephens into custody witness cried out " Shame," and demanded their numbers. When they desisted and went away, some one called out, the policeman who struck Mr. Stephens was 80 C. The police decidedly used unnecessary violence. Edward Nightingale, apprentice to a carpenter, resid ing at 26, Pratt-street, Lambeth, was in Park-street, on Sunday, the Ist instant, about six o'clock. There were from 300 to 400 persons in front of Lord R. Grosvenor's house. There was some hissing, but he saw no stones thrown. Witness described the attack on Mr. Stephens similar to that given above. James Vassie, laboure r , of Marylebone-lane, was in the Park, walkin g by the Serpentine. Just opposite the Receiving-house ho was struck on the shoulder by police constable 20 D a violent blow, which felled him to the ground, and prevented his working for a week. He was conducti.Jg himself orderly at the time he was struck. The policeman left him to get up the best way he could. Cross-examined by Mr. Ellice—The crowd was passing at the time he was struck. Mr. James Smith, wine merchant, Liverpool, was in the Park on the let instant on his way to Notting-hill. He saw Mr. Maxwell, son of the late General Max well, walking along by the Serpentine, and struck a violent blow in the back by a policeman with his trun cheon, which would have thrown him on the ground had not witness caught him. He thought the policeman was 345 A. Witness saw him strike some ladies across the shoulders with his truncheon, on which he remon strated with Lim, when he told witness he would knock his d—d head off it he didn't go on. The assemblage at that part appeared composed of respectable persons. He saw no stones thrown or violence committed except • by the police. Mr. Mitchell—What is your opinion of the conduct of the police ? Witness—l don't think a witness should be asked for his opinion. Cross-examined by Air, Ellice—lf he saw the police men above referred to, he thought be could identify him. Ellen Prosser, servant, residing at 73, Mount-street, was at the drawing-room window of the house, about half-past seven o'clock. She saw a man taken past the house by policemen, with blood streaming front his head. There was a policeman on each side of the man, and one behind him. A woman, who wished to speak to the man in custody, was given a violent blow in the breast by one of the policemen. She Fa, vv the police strike men, women, and children, in Park-4treet.

CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Chief Baron PollOck,) Pitcebe Mason, aged 27, servant, was charged up,,n three several indictments with administering poison to Wm. Hardy, John Hardy, and George Hardy with in tent to murder them, at Halesowen, on the 11th of July. Mr. W. H. Cooke appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared that in the month of November last the pri soner was sent for by the wife of Wm. Hardy, a brick layer at Oldbury, and asked to stay with her and nurse her during her illness. She consented, and, as the sick woman died in the course of the same month, the pri soner continued to live with the husband, and took care of his children. There was no doubt, upon the evi dence, that she had always treated the children with the greatest kindness up to Wednesday last, when she was seen to take upstairs a cup, saying she was going to give the children, who were in bed, Borne senna tea. She immediately afterwards put on her bon net and went to the house of her sister-in-law, and told her to fetch the doctor to the children. This was imme diately done, but before the doctor could arrive a young woman who was downstairs in the house heard the child ren cry, and going up to them, found that they were all sick and vomiting. They complained of great thirst, and in consequence a considerable quantity of milk and water was given them to drink. When the doctor arrived, two of the children appeared to have recovered, but one of them, the eldest, was suffering from depression, aris ing from vomiting. Search was made, and in an adjoin ing room a cup was found containing some senna leaves add sugar of lead, and on further examination of what had come off the stomachs of the children there could be no doubt that they had taken sugar of lead. When taken into custody the prisoner admitted what she had done, and gave as a reason that the father had promised her marriage, but had slighted her, and that, such was the love she bore the children, she could not bear the idea of being separated from them. On the part of the prisoner a long statement was read which she had made before the magistrates, the sub stance of which was that s h e had yielded to the,solicita dons of the father of tte children on receiving a promise of marriage, and that he had since slighted her. She also .rapeated the statement which she had before made of the love she had for the children and the pain she felt at the prospect of being separated from them. A most excellent character was given to the prisoner for humanity and kindness. Chief Baron Pollock having summed up tne evidence, The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. Sentence deferred. MURDER. Joseph Meadows, aged 23, whitesmith, was charged with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Mason, at Dudley, on the 12th of May, 1855. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Cresswell appeared for the prosecution : Mr. Kettle defended - the prisoner. Mr. iluddleston having opened the case to the jury, the following witnesses were examined : William Ingram said=l am a miner near Dudley. On the 12th of May last I was at the Sailor's Return public-house with William Robinson, between 8 and 9 in morning. The prisoner was there. The servant was mopping the house. I heard the report of a carbine, at a distance of 6 or 7 feet. The girl feli to the ground. I ran to the prisoner, and said, " You have murdered the girl. What did you do it for ?" The girl was stand ing about the middle of the kitchen. Cross-examined—l had not seen a carbine previous to the report. Mail , Hunt said—My husband keeps the Sailor's Return, at Kate's Hal, near Dudley. I saw the pri soner on the evening of Friday, the 11th of May. He passed as the brother of the servant, Mary Ann Mason. She did not speak to him. I saw him the next morning. He had some ale. He remained in the kitchen. I bad assisted the deceased to clean the kitchen. I left the room, and when I came back to the door I saw the pri soner with the carbine. The flash came in my face. The girl fell towards me. She breathed for about 15 minutes, and died. The shots struck her under the left ear. My husband came in and collared the prisoner. The only word I remember the prisoner saying was, " Now I'm satisfied." Cross-examined—This is the first time I have been examined. I had been in and out of the kitchen that morning. I had not seen a cArbiue before it was fired. On the Friday night he was talking about matters which I thought he did not understand. He was talking about the war, the shells, and the guns. William Robinson said—l was at the Sailor's Return on the morning in question, and saw the prisoner there. I heard the report of a gun, and saw the girl fall. On turning round I found the carbine on the ground. The prisoner picked it up, acid I took it from him. He then said, " She should have given me an answer." Cross-examined—The deceased was mopping the floor when the gun was fired. Jukes said—l am a constable. I was sent for, and took the prisoner into custody. I charged him with shooting the deceased with the carbine. He said, "I've had my revenge ; I have heard them say revenge is sweet. I left home for that purpose. I've done it, and now I am satisfied." I found a powder-flask in his pocket, with a little powder and some caps. On the way to prison he said, " It's not my sister ; it's a young wbman I've followed for about teu months. I was de termined if I could not have her nobody else should." He also said, " I pulled the carbine from behind my back, and fired it off in an instant. I threw it down to pick the girl up, but was prevented." Cross-examined—l have refreshed my memory by looking at a copy of the depositions. A copy of toy de position was, brought to me about a week ago by a young man named Robinson. I left the copy at home. William Hunt said—l keep the Sailor's Return. The prisoner came to my house about 10 minutes before 7 o'clock. I served hun with some ale. I heard the re port and ran into the kitchen and collared the prisoner. I said, " Oh, you vag a b on d ; you ' ve s h ot your own sister!" He said " I've done what I intended to do." The prisoner came to my house the previous evening. The deceased screened herself behind me as if she didn't wish to see him. Cross -examined—Thomas Price came with the pri soner on the Friday night. I said that night the pri soner was the biggest sawney I ever saw in my life._ I said that to the deceased. I saw nothing mad about the prisoner. - Joseph Rann said—The prisoner was my apprentice. He came home at 2 o'clock ou the Saturday morning in a state of intoxication. I left him on the sofa. I came down at 7 o'•clock and found he was gone. I saw the prisoner at the gaol, and said " You've done for your self now." The prisoner replied, " I intended to do it before I started." The carbine, &c., are my property. . Cross-examined—Tne prisoner waa quite intoxicated at 2 o'clock in the morning. I saw him again at 12 or 1. He did not appear to be sober then. W. E. Johnson said—l am a surgeon at Dudley. I saw the deceased, and exa nined the wound behind her I believe that caused her death. Cross-examined—l examined the tongue of the de ceased. One or two shots entered the nerve which moves the tongue. The injury would prevent speech. Mr. Kettle addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended, that they ought not to convict him of the crime of murder upon statements alleged to have been made by him in a state of intoxication. Chief Baron Pollock having summed up the evidence with great minuteness, the jury, in about five minutes, found the prisoner guilty. The Chief Baroa then said the case was one of the clearest which bad ever come before a criminal court, and that it appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had predetermined to commit the crime some time be fore he had actually committed it. His lordship then pro nounced the solemn sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner was then removed. Day vvngn male 01 In General Post- Office, London.* America(byßrit.pack)N &merles..

NORTHERN CIRCUIT. YORK, JULY 17. THE CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder.) Mary Walker was indicted for attempting to murder her infant child, at Roundhay, near Leeds. Mr. Hardy. and Mr. Middleton prosecuted. The pri soner was undefended. It appeared that as two men, named Heptonstall and Halstead, were walking past an unoccupied house on the Roundhay-road, near Leeds, called the Rosebud, their attention was attracted by seeing the prisoner, who is a servant girl, l oo ki ng round the corner of the h ouse and retirin g . Knowing th e h ouse to be unoccupied, they watcked her, and saw her enter the privy. •Sug= specting something wrong, they went round to the, back of the ho use , opposite the privy -door, and shouted "Halloa 1" Receiving no answer, they pushed open the door, and saw the prisoner there, who appeared frightened an d confused. They asked' her what she was doing, and she answered " nothing"; As they were coming away they heard a child scream, appa rently from the soil of the privy, and they immediately both entered the privy, and heard the scream repeated. Not being able to see anything, one of the men went for a candle, while the other detained the prisoner. On looking into the privy with a light, a child was observed on 'the soil naked, partly on its fact, and with two large stones about the size of a brick upon its head and face. The child was out of reach, and the men tore up the seat in order to get it out. It was alive, and bad a slight cut on the head, which was bleeding. The men wrapped up the child in the woman's shawl, and con veyed it to the workhouse, giving the woman into the ens- . tody of the police. On the floo r of the privy w a s f oUn d a large sod, which appeared to have been intended to throw on and cover the child, had the prisoner not been dis turbed. From the evidence of Mr. Price, the surgeon, it appeared that the woman had been confined only about two hours when she was given luta custody. The child was a full-grown child, and was not •hurt, and soon recovered at the workhouse. There was a slight court:aim) on the right side of the head, It was the opinion of the surgeon if a stone of the size described had been dropped on the child's head it would have made a much more serious wound. The prisoner, in defenc;,, said she felt ill, and had gone to the privy, where she had been confined, and had used the stones for the pdrpose of endeavouring to reach and get out the child, which had dropped on the soil. Other evidence in the case con tradicted this:, f s o h t i fn d h a t v h i e n g T H h i j L u o r r y d pr si l u so m n tr er ed g u ui p lty the evidence, murder the child. She was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 8 calendar months. of an attempt to The rest of'the day w as occup i e d i n the trial of cases fe . ii unfit for publication.
