Before business was proceeded with, the right hon. gentleman expressed his grateful acknowledgments for the kind indulgence which the house had extended to him on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and expressed a hope that the impossibility of making a house on Tuesday evening, which he believed was entirely attributable to himself, had not been the cause of inconvenience to any hon. members.

EDUCATION BILL. Mr. WALPOLE gave notice on the part of Sir J. Pakington, that that right hon. gentleman would to morrow move that the second reading of his bill shou'd be postponed till the sth of June. THE SUNDAY BEER BILL. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that he inter ded to move fir a committee to inquire into the worhin4 of an act passed last session for the further regulati,, ,, of the sale of beer on the Lord's-day. He proposed to bring forward his motion on St. Boniface's day. (H or.) CIVIL SERVICE Mr. MACARTNEY gave notice that, on the st:i of June, he should, in the absence of the bill, so long I,ro mind by the Government, move for leave to introduce a bill to alter the law affecting the civil service. MARRIAGES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. HEADLAM, on ridng to move the second r'ad ing of the above bill, preented several petitions from Scotland and the North of England, in favour of the same. The bon. gentleman said, in proposing this I.:ca m:ire, he was not seekirg to make any trifling or mere theoretic improvement of the law, but was endeavonying in the most earnest manner in his power to repress an evil the magnitude of which he could scarcely desc; be without what would seem to be exaggeration, which • - ••as lowering the character, destroying the morality, ;:nd depraving the manners of the people in the nortl -,, rn parts of this island. The hon. gentleman after quoting some statistics showing the great number of illogal marriages now contracted in Scotland, and the evil effects they produced on the moral character of the people, conclu led by moving the second reading of the bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE, though he could not Pro mise to support the bill in all its details, yet considering it was a praiseworthy attempt to grapple with a subject the evils of which he fully admitted, should not opp,se the second reading of the bill. Mr. ELLIOTT opposed the second reading, hori'ng that the Lord-Advocate would himself introduce a mea sure that would really grapple with the evils of the question, which this bill would not do. He moved that the bill be read a second time that day 6 months. Lord LOVAINE considered the present bill was cal culated to mitigate at least a portion of the existing evils, and therefore he thought it would be unfair to wait till the Scotch members should agree among them selves to a revision of the whole of the marriage laws of Scotland. Mr. NAPIER considered the difficulty of dealing with this question was, that the people of Scotland did not regard any religious ceremony requisite for marriage. He also objected to the facility of minors to contract marriage in Scotland, the mere fact of people of teli , !er years declaring they took each other for man and wife being at present sufficient to bind them irrevocably for life. He thought this biil would not have the effect of remedying the evils now complained of, and therefore he should feel bound to support the amendment. Lord DUNCAN also supported the amendment. Ile found that this bill, while intended to legislate chiefly for the two border counties of Northumberland and Cum berland, would introduce the greatest possible confu=inn nto the whole law of marriage in Scotland. He was far from saying that some measure was not required to amend the existing law of Scotland, but it should he done in a camprehensive manner, and therefore he trusted the English members would assist him in eject ing the hill now before the house. Mr. DUNLOP supported the bill, on the ground tl.at it would be at least a modification of the existing evil-% Mr. 'WALPOLE considered the bill would fail in remedying the evils of the present law. The penalty proposed by the bill for contracting an illegal marriage was 101. for the first offence, and 501. for a second of fence ; he was sure that penalty would be willingly p..id in most cases, and therefore, on the plea of putting down immorality, it would not at all grapple with it. He ad• raided that the anomalies of the marriage law in Scotland were very great, and he trusted that the Lord-AdvOcate and the Government would take upon themselves to in troduce a bill that would assimilate the laws of marriage in Scotland with those of England. For those reasons he should be obliged to support the amendment. Mr. HEADLAM replied, contend* that no ade quate argument had been brought forward by hon. mem bers who opposed the bill to show that it would not have the effect of at least mitigating the evils of the present system, and he should press the question to a division. Sir G. GREY said that with respect to the apps al made to the Government to bring i❑ a bill to grapple with the whole subject of the marriage law of Scotland, he feared, judgieg from past experience of similar attempts, it would not be prudent for the Government to make any such pledge. A bill for that purpose had been brought in by a former government; but it IV:19 unanimously opposed by the whole of the Scotch mem bers and it was unsuccessful. But he regarded the present bill would affect merely the humble classes, and would not touch those in a higher position who contracted the same sort of irregular mar riages. (Hear, hear.) He therefore put it to the Len. and learned member (Mr. Headlani) whether it was worth while to press the question to a division ? After a few remarks from Mr. INGRAM and Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE, The house divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading 4O For the amendment, 143 Majority --103 So the bill was lost. ECCLESIASTICAL PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Sir W. HEATHCOTE resumed the adjournment of the debate on the second reading of this bill. He said that the law at present existing with respect to maigdhtthaetnh'tahre riage might be considerably improved, course that had been pursued in Germany be adopted ; but he was afraid that the present bill r vaa p s a to say the least of i t, a short-si g hted legislation. He believed that the verses in Leviticus might be construed both for and against this bill. If, however, there was any doubt upon the subject, he thought that doubt should be given in favour of the law as it at present stood. Mr. PHINN objected to the proposition made by the right hon. baronet. He totally objected to the argu ment that those who supported the present bill were opposed to settled legislation. He believed that the law as it at present existed was totally against the edicts given by Holy Writ. Could it be doubted, looking at that holy work, that kings and princes who were living in polygamy had been looked upon with spe cial favour. (Hear, bear.) He believed that, lookieg 4 : r„ scripture generally, no man could find any R raritv for disputing the provisions of the present bill. rer% raa_th_er.. thought the assages in Leviticus and Deuteronomy in "' favour than against the present bill. looomi_t_c: law upon the subject of marriage was was . e i swe ' d very different light to that in which it visions of ever ; e p: u esent. Formerly the different pro prrech were looked to ; that was rot an ecclesiasticaleaae lawaelsnt. It badb been said that Marriage was now not at a common question. (Hear ) upp e r el bill bill had been brought forwprd to favour the lower classes suffered asa i , eB. l His presentopinion was that the results. and eb"Yatththee marriage law than the aristocracy, sent bill would effect the give its assent adoption .e of the 1 r•'-. the house would the bill by such a large maj e o n rt to the second e hoped d. that country tbat they were in earnest on would show t i o ng tt of Mr. R.

He asked the house to disagree with a bill which made that legal in England which would be monstrous in Scotland. (Hear.) Mr, R. LOWE supported the se c o nd reading of the bill, and in doing so designate d t he ar g ume nts of the hon and learned member for Plym o ut h (Mr. R. Palmer) as ;mound and artificial. Jae believed that if the pre sent bill was not passed, the house would abet a course of persecution which was against all notions of morality and common sense. (Hear.) This state of the law as it at present stood ought to be altered, and that was the object of the present bill. Mr. GLADSTONE opposed the bill, being convinced that the marriage professed to be sanctioned by it were totally at variance with the Word of God. The law as it at present stood, represented the opinion of mankind, and to attempt to alter it would' be absurd. They bad heard that day that in every S tate of Europe except in a few cantonslin Swit zer l an d they were recognised and tolerated. Now what was the case Why, that all such marriages as were contemplated by the bill, if sanctioned, were done so under the most solemn of pro tests. (Hear, hear.) He considered the present bill as a measure which, under the disg wise of religious liberty, sought to raise anarchy in the Church of England. This measure had been brought forward not in deference to the scruples of the whole community, but a few of its• members. (Hear, hear.) Did his hon. friend who pro posed the present biil propose to stop with it, or would he bring forward another measure next year. (Hear, bear.) The house ought to know something upon the subject, because the measure propooed sought to alter all the social arrangements of society, and to take away that equality which at present existed with man and woman, and to give to man all the benefits, taking away those which woman at present possessed. (Hear, bear.) To ask which was the object of the present bill. To go back for !Christianity to conscience was, in his opinion, absurd in the extreme. for the supply of clothing should be left with the Secre tary of State, who would issue his orders to the Ordnance Department, a minute would be made of the quantity of clothing that was required by the inferior officer, and upon that requisition the Secretary at War would issue the order to the Beard of Ordance for the supply. The board was not responsible. By Lord Seymour—He was not aware that there was any difficulty with regard to the transmission of the stores, but with that the Secretary at War had nothing to do. By the Chairman—ln the opinion of witness it would be advisable that the purveyor and medical officer should be made supreme over the whole department. At Scutari there is about an equal proportion of paid nurses and ladies. By the Chairman—He found that the purveyor had been making stoppages from the pay of the men mistak ing his instructions, and made those stoppages as if the army were in a state of peace instead of war, and as soon as witness heard of it, and shortly before he left office, he wrote out requesting the paymaster to return the drawback. By the Chairman—He was in London during the whole of the recess, with the exception of two weeks in September, and sometimes on a Sunday. There was no communication but what was communicated to his col lenues who were all within a few hours distance. By General Peel—Vitness as Secretary at War had control of the militia, and he bad issued orders for the embodying of them during the absence of Lord Pal merston. The hon. gentleman here read a memorandum with respect to embodying several regiments of militia. By Mr. Layard—He had nothing to do with the raising of the foreign legion. He appointed Messrs. Hayter and Howell, because they were packers for the colonels. The firm of Hayter and Howell had been army clothiers for nearly one hundred years. This firm transmitted the whole of the free gifts transmitted to the Crimea— 809 to Scutari and 403 to the Crimea. Mr. SPOONER claimed for himself and every Chris tian freedom of conscience, in deciding this question without being bound by the canons of the church. He had read the 18th chapter of Leviticus, and consulted with men of high authority on the question, and he was of opinion that marriage with a deceased wife's sister was not only not prohibited, but permitted by the law of God. The law, as it now stood, he considered produc tive of great moral evil, and he therefore felt bound to support the present bill. Mr. COBDEN referred to the manner in which pub lic opinion sanctioned the evasion of the law. Allusion had been made to the number of cases of bigamy committed in a given district, but it did not follow that the inhabitants of the district generally ap proved of bigamy, and he asked why a bill was not brought in to make it felony in those persons who went to Germany to evade the English law with reference to a marriage with a deceased wife's sister. He ridiculed the idea that the bill would produce anarchy in the church, as assumed by the hon. member for Oxford, or that the women of England were against the measure. Before they referred to Jewish laws, it would have been better had they inquired what the Jewish practices were in this respect. It had been given in evidence before the committee, that so far from the Jews considering it wrong they considered it meritorious, and where the law of the land did not interfere with the marriage of a de ceased wife's sister, the Jewish laws permitted it to take place at an earlier period than that with another pa:.ty. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE addressed the house, and Mr. HEYWOOD replied, amidst cries of " Divide." The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading 165 Against it Majority ---- 8 The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. By the Chairman—He anpointed these gentlemen on public grounds, and not because one of the gentlemen was brother to the secretary of the Treasury. At the time of the appointment he did not know of the rela tionship. The system in the War-office was extremely efficient and worked well. All promotions were made from merit. By Lord Seymour—The manner in which he arrived at the abilities of the persons employed was by written communications from the heads of departments. The hon. gentleman was here answering a question relative to the construction and system of the War-office, when the room was ordered to be cleared. On our re-admission, the examination of the right hon. gentleman was continued. It would have been utterly impossible for the Duke of Newc:stle to have carried on the increasing duties of the War De partment in conjunction with the administration of co lonial affairs. By Mr. Layard—No propoEial was made to him to construct a wooden trunroad to Balaklava. Sir J. Lillie waited on him with his plan: , , but as he bad no authority he gave him a latter to the Duke of Newcastle who d:sapproved of the plans. The committee then adjourned. NEWMARKET RACES.

He stated that he held the office of Secretary-at-War at the breaking out of the war, and his being a Cabinet Minister in no way interfered with the duties of his situ ation. The duty of the Secretary-at-War was that of a check on expenditure only. He had nothing to do with promotion or discipline otherwise than his consent being required in the event of such promotion involving in creased expense. The expenditure of the army was so complicated that it was necessary the office should be kept up. When it was decided on commencing hostili ties instructions were given to Lord Raglan for the de fence of the Balkan, it being understood that Sebastopol would be attacked, that being the object for which the British army was despatched to the East. The prepa rations made for the army were not with a belief that the army would winter in the Crimea, but the place be taken by a coup de main. Admiral Boxer was sent out to superintend the harbour arrangements, and Dr. Andrew Smith the medical department. He had no authority over the medical department, other than with reference to finance, and Dr. A. Smith acted direct from the Horse Guards. The first time he interfered with the medical department was in the difference that existed between Dr. Smith and Dr. Guthrie, respecting the ap pointment of regimental surgeons instead of staff sur geons. As circumstances turned out it would have been better to have adopted the latter plan, as suggested by Dr. A. Smith. After the statements which appeared in the public press with respect to the state of the hos pitals at Scutari, and letters sent home, part of which would bear contradiction, but sufficient remained uncon tradicted as would condemn the system, Dr. Hall was sent to inspect them after the battle of Alma, and he gave the Government a very flourishing account of them. By Mr. Ellice—lnstead of there being one supra= head over the hospitals, and all orders and instructions coming from him, there was a large medical staff giving instructions to different parties. Would it not have been better to have had one person to direct the whole ? —So there was after, and Lord Wm. Paulett was sent out. Tyne Walked over LITEST BETTING.

Thomas Evans, 19, labourer, and George Turner, 19, also a labourer, two of the militia, were indicted for a rape upon Henrietta Gatland. Mr. Parry prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended. 'The facts were unfit for detail. The prosecutrix is a girl of humble station in life, living near Hammersmith, and the prisoners belong to that place, and are in the mi litia now doing duty in that district. The alleged out rage was committed in a field in the vicinity, both pri soners taking a part in it. For the defence it was set up that prosecutrix was a woman of had character, and witnesses were called to prose that they had been upon terms of intimacy with her. The case was likely to occupy the whole day. NEW COURT. Two respectable looking young men surrendered to take their trial for having stolen a fowl, valued at two shillings, the property of a gentleman named Fentum. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted and Mr. Ballantine defended. The case was one of the many sent to these sessions by the county magistrates which result in the acquittal of the parties committed, and prove how wholly unfit many of these justices are to be entrusted with the powers ♦ested in them. By Mr. Ellice—lt has been stated by Mr. Stafford, whO visited the hospital at Scutari, that when he saw the lamentable state of things there he spoke to Major Sillery, the commandant, and his answer to him was that he was an officer without fortune, and having a large family he shrunk from the responsibility of giving any orders that might subject him to pecuniary embar rassment. Was that such a state of things as ought to have existed ?—No, certainly not. The hon. gentleman then read letters he forwarded to Major Sellery with reference to the state of things exist ing at Scutari, complaining of them, but at the same time making allowance for his being in a strange coun try, and referring him to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe for money and assistance under the circumstances, and he hoped his letters would have had the effect of benefitting the service. It might, he said, have been more correct for the Minister of War to have written to Major Sillery, but then the question of expenditure came under his depart ment. With reference to the management of the hos pitals in the Peninsula under the late Duke of Wel llington, and that of the hopitals at Scutari, the case was very di&rent. In the former case the hospitals were under the duke's hand, as it were, being in the same country ; whereas Lord Raglan was in one country, and the hospitals in another, and he could only act in accordance with the reports made to him, notwithstanding the period occupied in communi cating with the hospital in each instance must, have been about the same. It was extremely difficult to come to a sound conclusion as to the truth or falsehood of the reports from the Crimea, and instanced the case of a letter being inserted in the papers, purporting to come from Miss Nightingale, complaining of the want of lint at the time she wrote the Government requesting them not to forward more, having too much in store. When Lord Raglan was sent to the East, he had full powers con ferred on him in controlling the army and its depart ments. Immediately on Major Sillery's inefficiency being discovered, the Government proceeded to find a sub stitute, and a gentleman was sent out. There was a larger number of medical men with the army than had before been sent with a similar number of troops. He did not think Lord Raglan ought to have been so well acquainted with the state of the hospital at Scutari as he (Mr. S. Herbert) was, becaase he got information from private as well as official sources. By Mr. Ellice—Lord William Panlett was ,sent to Scutari after the mischief had been _done? After it had begun. The army being separated in the field it was necessary to have many persons communicating with one another. The accused parties were both lads of very good cha racter at Edmonton, and had been seen by a person named Wagger, a farmer at Chingford Hatch, to throw a stick at the fowl, which was straying upon the borders of the forest, and having done so packed it up into a handkerchief and took it away. Information was given to the police, who followed the prisoners and took them into custody. The prisoners were afterwards taken be fore the bench at Waltham, and, although the prisoners were stated to bear the highest character, and be in the service of gentlemen in the neighbourhood, the bench sent them for trial. Two police constables were sent to prove the apprehension of these lads. The foreman of the jury, after these facts had been elicited, said that they all thought the thing had been done by the two lads out of a joke, and that it was not the act of thieves. The Recorder said he took the same view of the case. The two prisoners had done very wrong, but he was sorry that any magistrates ehould have sent them for trial. It was no felony, but the trick of a school-boy, and although a very wrong one did not bear any hnpu tation upon the honesty of the accused. The verdict of acquittal was then taken, and the Recorder directed the prisoners to be at once discharged. LOCAL MANAGEMENT IN THE METROPOLIS.—A return moved for by Sir B. Hall shows that the total number of houses in the various parishes within the metropolitan district of the Registrar-General amounts to 193,167, the total ratable value of the houses under Schedule A. of the property tax, to 8,284,346/. ; the total rateable value converted into the number of houses at the average value of 421. 17s. 9d. per house, to 193,167 ; the total aggregate number to 386,334 ; and the total proposed number of representatives that should be given at the metropolitan board to 28. In the city of London the total number of houses amounts to 7,297 ; the rateable value of houses under schedule A. of the property tax, to 1 , 5 84,3511. ; the rateable value, converted into the number of houses at the average value of 421. 17s. 9,1, per house, to 36,942 ; the aggregate number to 44,239 ; and the proposed number of representatives, to 3. In the "districts" within the metropolitan district of the Registrar -general (as distinguished from the "parishes"), the total number of houses amounts to 98,470; the rateable value under the property tax, to 3,678,8621., the rateable value converted into the number of houses, at the average value of 37/. 7s. 21d. perliouse, to 98,470, the aggregate number to 196,94 b, the proposed number of members at the metropolitan board to 15, and the proposed number of members at the district board to 697. In order to base the claims to representation at the metropolitan and district boards upon a joint consi deration of the total number, and of the rateable value of the houses in each parish or district, the rateable values have been converted into numbers by dividing the total rateable value of the houses in each parish or district by the average value of the houses in the whole of the parishes or districts. The number of houses at the general average produced by this division, added to the actual number of houses in the parish or district, is I the "aggregate number" shown above, as that which determines the relative position of each parish or district. Thus the average rental of houses in the " parishes " is 421. 17s, 9d. The parish of St. Marylebone has 15,826 houses, with a rental of 1,168,6571., which rental wou ld be equal, at the above average of 421. 17s. 9d. per house, to 27,250 houses—St. Marylebone receives, therefore, for the actual number of houses, 15,826 ; and for the rateable value of the same, 27,250, making an " aggre tion is continued throughout the whole o gate number" of 4 3, 0 7 6 .

WESTAIINSTER.—Mr. Philip William Perfitt, de scribed as an author and public lecturer, residing at 20, Hemingford-terrace, Islington, appeared to a sununm;s charging him, under the 6th and 7th of William IV., cap 86, with making a false representation upon the oc casion of registering a child. Mr. Buchannan conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Parry the defence. The circumstances, as detailed in support of the charge, are briefly these. On the sth of December, 1554, the accused presented himself at the office of Mr. Smith registrar for the north-east division of Chelsea, for the purpose of registering a child, of which he represented himself to be the father. The statement he gave for the purpose of its being inserted in the register was that the child was born on the 3d of November, was named Wil liam Henry, and that the mother's name was Elizabeth Peratt, formerly Phillips, which was false, as, in fact, the mother was a single woman. This portion of the entry was the offence complained of, and in support of it a witness was called to show that the accused was mar ried on the 6th of October, 1854, to Frances Powell, who is still alive. The present proceedings had been in stituted by Mr. Powell, the brother of defendant's wife, who stat,d that Elizabeth Phillips was his (Pow ell's) wife's sister. ARE MARKETS (THIS DAY.) RAILW A YS.

If he did not put the questions, they were always put 'n his presence. Mr. Parry submitted that there was nothing in either the law or the fact to sustain the present charge. 'The act of Parliament did not contemplate any information whether the mother was married or not, neither infor mation of legitimacy ; nor would it be inconsistent w!th the circumstances of the case for the defendant to have even the name of Perfitt, because that was a reputed name; although, so far from there being any evidence of his having done so, the registrar had stated that it was his practice to assume that the mother and father were married, and that he had inserted it as a matter of usage. Defendant had never alleged or shown in any way that Elizab e th Philli ps was his wife. Supposing the case to have been proved, " the name and maiden .surname" had been fairly given, if the surname were the name of repute. Mr. Arnold observed that the case was one of im portance, and he would postpone his decision till Friday. Defendant entered into his own recognisances t' ap pear on that day. 25 St. 20 St, all all all 16 10e too MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Jan zeJ Eastgaee was brought before Mr. Bingham charged with living nn mitted a forgery, in order to defraud the trustees of the National Provident Institution, St. Martin' , -place. John Marshall Olive, clerk at the institution, said— On the 6th of January, the prisoner opened au account by depositing a shilling, for which he received a pass book in which to register future payments. On Satur day evening, ahouc three mouths afterwards, the soccer brought the deposit book, and said he wanted to give notice of his intention to withdraw 4/. Witness looked at Cie book, and found that sev:?ral fictitious en tries bad been made in the book, and these entries pur ported to hear the signature of Willis and Jones, and of the clerk who tusk the original and only deposit of one shilling. The forgery was immediately detected, and witness asked the prisoner if the book had ever been out of his possession. The prisoner said his mother-in law had kept it for some time. There were no clerks of the names of Wills or Jones in the hank. Edward Boodle, secretary, said the prisoner was brought to him by last witness. He asked the prisoner how much he claimed of the bank. The prisoner replied "Four pounds." He asked the prisoner if he had em• ployed any one to pay in the money. The prisoner re plied, he had paid it in himself. He told the prisoner the affair was a serious one. The prisoner then said, his father had brought the money to the bank for him. The book was detained, and the prisoner allowed to go away, in order to fetch his father. The prisoner did not return, and he was subsequently given into custody. The prisoner declined to make any defence and was remanded for a week. Matthew Cooper, described as a gentleman, was charged with steali ig a gold chain, the property of Mr. Packer, jeweller, Regent-street. The prisoner went into the shop and asked to see some chains, lie selected one, and while the shopman's at tention was engaged, he secreted another. The shop man missed the chain and taxed the prisoner with the theft. The prisoner put the chain on the counter with his arm, and wanted to make out that the abstraction was an accident. Remanded. Cloning Prices this day. SOUTHWARK.—Ann Carmoody was charged with the following robbery. Thomas Flynn, a waterman, said that about 9 o'clock the preceding night, he was proceeding along Church street, Blackfriars-road, towards his home, at Bankside, when the prisoner suddenly sprang from a dark door way, and. clasped her arms round him tightly, at the same time 'a -acing him what was the time. While en deavouring to disengage himself from her he felt her band in his pocket, and as she Waal in the act of withdrawing it he seized hold of her arm, and charged her with rob bing him of his money. She made use of an oath, and struggled hard to get away, but witness kept hold of her until a constable came, ar.d then he gave her into cus tody. Witness was perfectly sober, and had just left off work. At the time he was stopped by her he had in his pocket a five shilling piece, a half-crown, &e., and a me tal ticket used is his employment. Philip Brown, 152 M, said when she was given into his custody he found in her right hand half-a-crown, fivepence in coppers, and a metal ticket, which the pro secutor identified as his property. Sarah Ann Fensom, the female searcher at the station house, said she asked her whether she had any more money. She replied that she had not, but witness found in her bosom a five-shilling piece. Committed for trial. 19 - 20 4i - 4i - 8 14 - 13 14i 9 8 di Mr. Richard Early, the master of the ship Northum berland, trading between the port of London and Aus tralia, was summoned by Wm. Tress, steward of that vessel, to show cause why he refused to pay him 301., alleged to be due to him as wages. Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the complainant, said he shipped for the voyage to Port Philip and back, at the monthly wages of 31. 10s. At Port Philip four of the crew deserted, and after remaining there seven weeks the captain signed and executed an agreement at the back of the ship's articles to give his client and the re mainder of the crew 51. a month for the voyage back to London. On arrival in the latter port the captain re fused to pay that sum. A solicitor, who attended for the defendant, contended that the agreement was useless, and entered into under fear. The fact was the crew were deserting his ship, and to keep those he had on hoard, he (the captain) was compelled to resort to some stratagem. The learned gentleman cited two cases decided by the judges, " that where seamen signed articles for a specified suns per month for the voyage, and the captain to keep his crew together home had resort to a fresh agreement of higher wages, such wages could not be recovered." It was only the surplus that his client refu• - 3ed to pay. Mr. ..k'Seckett said he had no doubt the judges were correct in their judgment, and the 61111111101/i must there fore be dismissed. 87 -8) - 604 12i - j 3 7 -9, WORSHIP-STREET. —Elizabeth. Lambert, the wife of a carrier in Queen's Head-walk, Kingsland, was charged with cruelty t 9 a child. Mrs. Eliza Grey, a widow lady residing in the Kings land-road, stated—l know the prisoner, from her dealing in vegetables close to my house, and know that she had a child named Edward Clarke under her care. I have not seen her in the act of ill-using the child, but I have heard its painful cries very frequently, and at 10 o'clock last night they were renewed worse than ever. They were so serious that I and my father went to her door and listened, and distinctly heard her dash the child down on the ground, and, from the sound, it appeared to me to come upon its head. I then heard her trying to hush it, and stop its cries, and I knocked at the door. A man, I believe her husband, opened it, and on getting in I found the child sitting on the floor. I asked the prisoner how she could be so cruel 11/4 to ill-treat the little creature in that manner, and she replied it was because it had made ri mess. I went to take the child up, hut she pushed it from me, and I then saw blood on the pri soner's gown. I pointed it out to her, but she made no reply, and another woman came in and demanded the child from her. On a former occasion I questioned her :about the bruises I had seen upon its person. I have re peatedly noticed fresh marks of ill-usage upon it, and the one now above the left eye and the other on the top of its head, from which the blood has flowed, are both freshly done since I last saw it. I remonstrated with the husband for letting his wife illuse it so, and he re plied that he did not think she had hurt it much. riiss Emma Jennings, last witness's sister—While at supper I heard a sharp slapping sound and the prisoner scolding the child. It sounded to me as if she were shak ing it, and then a sound as if it had been thrown on the floor. Prisoner was in a great passion, and the child shrieked, as it were, inwardly. My sister, before this, questioned the prisoner about the child's contusions, and she said it had fallen on a fender. .•. - ... 5 - 4 5i - 6 14 - 15 11 11i 30 - 32 20 - 22 Stock W., B.

It was an intel:igent little boy, about two years old, but very thin, and on its person being exposed for examina tion bruises of a bad character were visible over nearly the whole extent of its back, its head and forehead were completely covered with contusions, and, in fact, there was scarcely a part of it that was not more or less injured. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Poor little creature ! it is certainly in a most pitiabl+ state, and (to the first witness) I feel bound to say that great credit is due to you for your humane interftaence. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Where are the parents of the child? Mr. Ross (relieving officer of Shoreditch parish)—l am given to understand, sir, that their parents hai e deserted them. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the child had fallen on a piece of iron and hurt itself; the cut on its head had been produced by a comb ; she had no children of her own, had been married about eight months, and had had the children from the parish soon after she was married. 20 20 10 10 St. 10 St. 25 20 20 20 100 20i too 20 20 20 20 20 35 8i 10 20 20 6 20 13! li a'l 161; 100 9 'lOO all 17la. all 16 all all N. &S.
