HUME w i shed to k now w h y the people of this country I G h ° l4 o:he' called upon to pay so large a sum of money. The st „, n n ern i , nr "f the Colony had exceede d his authorit y , and in ikr "`,....,,.°" 140 t0pe11ing the colony to pay the amount due , they had - "NI given them several large sums of money, and were now tiaistng to grant them a still further sum. Certain speculators 444s:anced sums of money to the colony at ten per cent. and f ' 3l l4,Per cent., awl interest had been paid them at those rates 4 ° ,, r Wen years. Now the revenue of the colonwas deficient, t sn't applied to the Government. Why were hey not left to ,"rg,aecurity ? The Governor had been pursuing a career of Frii'PtL etitl'avitgatice, and now the Chancellor of the Ex • itfir came forward to take the risk from off the colony. 11 .1.asas not the land in the colony sold to repay the money ? people of England were not to be taxed because the G0:2112.-C :2 11 2.-C of the Colony was unfit for his situation. He should 'lit/5101y take the sense of the Hou-e on the subject. „Lute CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that r , "alias had been induced to emigrate to the colony oa the f . ith "'All Act of Parliament. They were in a state of starvation. l aduthis money was necessary to relieve them. If they hail wired i n E'ngland, they would have been entitled to relief , 4thVY had tint forfeited that right by going to the colony 03 ft faith of an Act of Parliament. Government had ordered tutu * 1 .„ res to be taken to remove those colnists who wre not ""sIY to be able to maintain themselves to o e New South Wales, s line other colony where they might gain a livelihood. ' B. WOOD wished to know if this was a gift or a loan ? Lord STANLEY—A grant.—( A laugh. ) 'islr. B. WOOD called that a gilt, and he should certainly t° against such a squandering of public money. The Com- I t littve of last sear had recommended a loan, that loan hid since 111 ) converted into a gift of nearly 400,0001., and now they Pitt to vote thia further sum. Why did they not leave these nts chargeable on the colony, if the colony should hereafter .„. 14 -sible to liquidate them ? He should like to know tl..e names ,Zt-he parties whs., had advanced this money at such a rate of j7erest. The house ought not to sanction such a grant, and • should.divide against it. 'Lord STANLEY had so frequently discussed the general Psstion, that,he felt disinclined to enter into it. Orders had "ell sent out to the Governor not to draw any more bills, and • if had been. supposed that those orders would reach him in ~,aUary, th e y h a d ne t, however, reached him until April, and - "'s grant was to meet bills which he had drawn between the a tooths of .January and April. IC lts P. HOWARD deprecated the depreciation of the I° , l ° sl y in the public view, which would be the result of t h e 1. ,that of the opinions propounded by Hon. Gentlemen (the Opposition) side of the House. 'fie Committee then divided, when the numbers were— Por the vote Against it Alajority for the vote . voring our absence from the gallery the next vote was put , /4 1we found Sir G. CLERK explaining, in reply to a question from Mr, ih - nte, that the extra sum required by this vote was entirely for c :srar in China. Thereinforcements demaneed by the East India t aPany amounted to six regiments, the expense of which is cha rge d part l y upon th e rev enues of India, and partly upon th ° l ! 's of this country. C. 'NAPIER, before the vote was put , brought f o r ward oi ling the of the faulty system of naval p romotion, stron g l y oi ling the necessity of going into a thoroug h consideration of fi . e i _subject by the Government. The long p eriod which the p t O - "' at.d midshipmen were kept wa i ting , was most in j urious the service of the country. The young men who entered the were disheartened, and quitted the service in disgust. He ti 7 always, in Parliament and out of it, urged this subject on b e e consideration of the Admiralty, of whatever party it mi g ht ' and he did so from a strong conviction of the necessi t y of it. stad no personal interest in the matter, for nothing any Mi r: could do for him could add to the position in which he Sir G. COCKBURN explained, that though the sue tt_es in China had occurred at the close of the last year , yet r 47 accounts of them did not reach England till t he corn .4*oneernent of the present one. No officers had been pro % to from this expedition except those who had distinguished t2,motives.

At the Ikon& it would be better if it was suspended for some time, till the Bill now befoie thit House was either pass , cl or nearly so, as the public would have a different opinion with regard to a Bill passed into a law and one that was not.—( Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to. CANADA LOAN REPORT. On the motion for bringing up this Report, Mr. HUNIE objected to it on the ground of Olt. expense. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he thought the resolution would be agreed to, because it was ab solutely necessary for the welfare of the colony. and as a ful filment of the pledge which her Majesty had given. Mr. HUME said that, wishing to record his opinion against the grant, he would divide the House upon the resolution. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared — For the resolution Again-t it Majority for the resolution The Report was then brought up. COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS BILL. On the motion fur bringing up the Report of the Copyright Designs Bill, lir. WILLIAMS objected to the Hose e proceeding with the Bill at that late hour of the night (half.past twelve). Th e Bill required great alteration. Sir R. PEEL said if the general wish of the House was in favour of such a course, he cc ould have no objection to the post ponement of the Bill till Tuesday. After a few observations from Mr. Morgan John O'Con nell, Mr. M. Philips, and Mr. Williams, the further eonsidera • tion of the Bill was postponed till 'Tuesday.

BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED. FREDERICK EDWARD TURNER, druggist, Holy we THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 30, 1842. NOTTINGHAM WRIT. Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that the reason he took upon i s i l imself to move for a new writ for the borough of Notting arn Was, that 1,700 electors and inhabitants of that place in trusted a petition to him on the subject, which he presented to that House, and which prayed for the issuing of a writ. tie did not say whether the writ should be issued 'IT not; h e thought the time was come when the d ie' should come to some decision on the s ub j ect. as entitled to say on the part of those whom he repre rftted that they viewed the practices which were br ou g ht to t hat by the late Committee with disfavour. It had been sa id ;:,,,tat the object of that Committee wasnot to punish individuals, ut if the writ was suspended the electors of Nottingham Would be punished. It might be said that the writ ought to be 'u. r ,sPended till remedial measures were adopted, but there was now before the house the 19th clause of which would PPlv to the coming eleetion. He should therefore move that lii Intruance of a petition from a large number of electors and t u habitants of the town of Nottingham, a new writ he I stvred for that borough. Sir R. INGLIS seconded the motion. l‘lr. HUME said that he voted on a former occasion against the writ being issued, but from what had taken place last night he did not intend to pursue the same course now. He thought that as t h ey were on l y act i ng a f arc e by the measures which they had taken, it was better that the writs should he i,sned Ter all places with regard to which the writs were at present '!'as ended. He considered the House had stultified itself by Its late proceedings, and he did not know how the Right Hon. Baronet could justify his incon isteney. Mr. BERNAL said that if he had been in the House last alight he would not have been one of the minotity. He was not of those who did not look with so much Ina Tor upon these . Compromises. which was the result of a vicious system, or upon nibs syst in under which they were made, and which was accu 'mutating disgrace upon that House, and to destroy which they had not advanced a single step. Sir R. PEEL said that he had agreed to the suspension of the writ when it was proposer' to inquire into certain cor rupt practices, alleged to have taken place in the borough of I Nottingham, but now that inquiry having taken place, and the Re- Von being masle, which did not recommend any steps foie taken to disfranchise the borough, he did not think it would be con etitutional to assent now to the suspension of the writ.—( Hear, blear.) By the Hill which was now before the House, he ap prehended that any person who was guilty of treating before the testing of the writ, would be subject to the loss of his seat. And he thought it would be advisable to introduce a clause jute that Bill, making treating, either before or after the test ing of the writ, an illegal act, when committed for the purpose of corrupting vo:ers, of which the Committee was to be the judge.—( Hear, hear.) By destroying the distinc.ion in Point of time, and making all treating an offence against the law, L he thought they did all in their power, as far as the law was ettw►,eerned, to put an end to the practice.—( Hear.) The Right atlitl. Baronet then read the provisions of the present law re 'Peeling treating, and the penalty annexed—the loss of the seat " - tt, tosth e Member—and said that.if the dist,notion in point of time this 'were removed, and the dditional punishment of rendering the Member incapable of sit t a ng in Parliament, that everything, as far was possible to have it done by law, was effected to put an tod to the system altogether.—(Hear, hear.) He did not know whether such a clause would pass the other House of Parliament, but at all events he would be no party to its de feat.—( Hear, hear.) With regard to what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Montrose, as to inconsistency and stultification, he must say, that though it was hard to be angry with him, whatever he said—(Laughter) --the Honourable Gentleman was himself disposed to be tyrannical in many things. and was inclined to act the part of a tyrant towards those who did not concur with him opinion.—( Laughter.) He thought it would be better if the Hon. Gentleman gave credit. to those who differed from him in opinion for being influenced by honourable motives, than to act on a principle which was the foundation of all intolerance -- namely, that of assuming " I am right and you are wrong." M r . HUME denied being the intolerant person he was de scribed to be by the Right lion. Baronet. But he did not see how the Right Hon. Baronet could explain his conduct. Sir R. PEEL said that the Hon. Gentleman had accused him of being an encourager of all corruption and abomination last night. Mr. HUME said that if the Right Hon. Baronet alluded to last night. he would adhere to what he said.—( Laughter. ) Mr. WARD said that he thought a person might vote against the resolutions of last night without any inconsistency. Atter what had taken place last night, he did not see how they could refuse to assent to the motion of the Hon. Member. But he assented to it on the unders: ansling that the Bill new before the House would have the support of the Government in another place. After a few words from Mr. R. YORKE, Lord PALMERSTON said that as it seemed to be the wish f )hoP Hope that the 'nit 11140 d issue, ho would not opF:se two , va .

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. 't•he Caledonia, mail steam-ship, commanded by Captain LOTT, was off our port at an early hour yester day afternoon, but there was not sufficient water on the Bar fur her to reach the Mersey before a late hour at night ; she brought her Majesty's mails from Boston and Halifax, having sailed from the former on the 16th, and from the latter on the evening of the 18th instant, performing the voyage in ten days. Her passengers, sixty in number, speak in the highest terms of Captain Lorr's sea manship and gentlemanly demeanour, and also of his boat's capabilities. Although our files extend over a period of fourteen days, they contain no news of im portance. It had been rumoured in the United States that sonic unforeseen difficulties had arisen in the matter . of the Boundary Question, which would tend to procras tinate the settlement of that affair. The PRESIDENTS late veto has caused considerable vexation both in Congress, and out of its doors ; all duties have been paid under protest since the 30th of June, as the Secre tary of State formally declared it his opinion that no duties could be legally collected without a new Act was passed ; should the Courts support by their decisions that opinion, the money will have to be returned with interest. There was a moderate amount of business done in bills for the packet at 7 to 71 for sterling bills on Eng land, and at sf. 37A-c. to sf. 60e. on France. Cotton had been in poor request for some time pre vious to the steamer's sailing, an d prices had a ten chewy downwards. Flour on a light supply was in mo derate demand at steady rates. The accounts from Buenos Ayres state the determi nation of that Government to take Monte Video, if pos sible; but the inhabitants of the latter were making every exertion to resist an attack. From Canada we learn that Sir C. BAGOT and his Lady were in excellent health, and that affairs were pro ceeding in a satisfactory manner under his government. A motion in Senate regarding tho relations between Mexico and the United States Afforded an opportunity for some members to abuse Great Britain for the course which she is adopting in regard to the former country. SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS. (From the New York American, of the 15th instant.) Public opinion has been much agitated for some days I p obtat a iu:sa s rti t ttio: o elial n i .fl it i lp l lee t o e it giaNnnNu.points ts, si(l! s ubjectgo lrauthority ttiyodOnoifssfpaunl confidentlyltoeet gen tl emanat, ne g o t iat i on therurinactere rdhoal l tna s gh • e : te t c,d h ‘tv‘e,N L lae eas o lik, r; ii nd l tnbh A ge trtool s oln l rli i let - t: on the 4th of July the treaty would be signed. As the mode in which this statement was made, and the person making - it, could not very well be distrusted, great confidence was expressed that the intelligence was true, even although it was semi officially contradicted from Washington. There seems, however, no reason now to doubt that there was some mistake in the matter, and possibly propositions made in the expectation and belief that they would be acceded to, have been mistaken for actual results. At any rate, the impression now is, not only that no arrangement has been completed, but that, upon the subject of the North-Eastern Boundary, which was said to have re ceived a complete and satisfactory settlement, new and unforeseen difficulties have arisen on the part of the Commissioners from the States interested, Massachusetts and Maine. Nevertheless, as on this point it is known, that if the Plenipotentiaries cannot agree, a reference is to be made to a friendly Sovereign, whose award is to be final — little solicitude is felt as to the continuation of atnicable relations between the two countries. Our money market has experienced no change since the Ist inst. The same doubt and uncertainty as re gards the future course of the Government as then noted, prevent any action on the part of capitalists, and alt the stocks of our States, even of the soundest description, have materially declined. Until the passage of a Tariff Bill that will secure a revenue adequate to the current expenditure of the country, no improvement cats be hoped for, as from the acknow ledged poverty of the National Treasury, recourse must inevitably be had to a new issue of Government stock, which without ,some provision for ultimate redemption, cannot be expected to meet a favourable reception in foreign markets, and consequently must be forced off here at comparatively low rates. Our advices from Pennsylvania destroy every hope that might have been entertained of the State meeting the interest due next month. The Senate have rejected the Tax Bill, and the Bill which has lately passed the ]louse, authorising the Governor to borrow 870,000 dots., even it' passed by the Senate, cannot be carried into effect. By the fnllowing statement of its provisions our readers will be able to judge what probability there is of :he credit of the State being sustained. It authorises the Governor to borrow at 6 per cent. for seven years, the sum of $870,000 dollars, to pay in terest falling due in August ; but should he not be able to borrow the money, then the Auditor-General is autho rised to issue certificates of State Stock to be given to persons entitled to interest, to the amount thereof. The Governor is further AltalbOriSe(lYtt4 milk- - stsickawayted by Ore CoMmonwealthsifthey bringoa shin which- at-five per cent interest would equal the dividends on the same for 1841, and if they cannot be sold within 60 days at par, then the Governor is authorised to exchange any of the Bank, Bridge, or Turnpike Stocks at par, for certificates of State Stock at par. • Nothing has been done on the part of any of the hitherto defaulting States, nor can any provision be made until next winter, when the various Legislatures meet. It is almost too early to form an opinion as to the re sult of our crops, but our advices lead us to anticipate large products, far exceeding what can be disposed t.tf at profitable rates to the producers ; prospect of a- renewed demand - for manufactu res, either domestic or foreign. The supply of both de scri p tions is abundant, and sales cannot be effected e xce p t at enor mous sacrifices. thus affording little Most of our manufacturers have already stopped their mills, and the rest will probably soon follow their example. Great numbers of our labouring population have been thrown out of employ, and were it not for the constant demands in this country for agricultural labour, great want and distress must have been experienced. DR EA DFIT L STEAM-BOAT - EXPLOSION AT MONTREAL.—FIFTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST. The following account we find iwthe Montreal Courier of aionday last : It becomes our painful duty to record one of the most distressing casualties which ,has occurred in this province since the introduction of steam on the St. Issisrence. The high-pressure steamer Shamrock, while between Lachine and Point Claire, on her way to Kingston, about ten o'clock on Saturday morning, burst her boiler, and her bows being blown out by the explosion, she went down head foremost. There w ere on board of her at the time about 120 persons, of whom 48 were taken up unhurt by three barges in tow, and 18 were conveyed to the Montreal General Hospital wounded ; 54 remain to be accounted for. Of the 18 conveyed to the Hospital, one has died un der the amputation of both legs. The passengers were composed of English, Irish, and Scotch ; of whom the English arc supposed to have suffered most, from being in the fore part of the boat. The first engineer, who was saved, declares that he has no other consciousness of the transaction than that the ex plosion took place, and that he afterwards found himself en board one of the barges, the interval between those events being to his mind a perfect blank. Much money is said to have been lost, the emigrants being of a supe rior description. Mr. Jones, the Coroner, repaired to the spot and proceeded to the wreck, which he found with the hind part of the stern alone above water. Suspecting that some bodies might be in the cabin, he caused is to be burst open, when • the corpse of a female was drawn out. Of twenty-five families of emigrants on board, num bering in all 80 persons, 58 remain to be accounted for. The Captain was the last per Son who left the boat, and at the. risk of his life swans out.a considerable distance and succeeded in saving one - of the passengers from drowning. The Shamrock belonged to Messrs. At kinson, Matthie, and CO. ' of - Montreal. of the passengers, wh o amounted in all to 120 souls, The Shamrock carried no cargo except the baggage who were English, Irish, and Scotch-emigrants, but prin cipally English. The accident was heard from Lachine ; at least a number of persons remarked ' a vast irruption of smoke, and in a few seconds the diSappearance of the dropped vessel. The steamer Dolphin was all haste to carry succour. sh a an t lr t o h e e k. tim T c h a e b e o x ut . illflaolsfitatnnNivilaes heard, by bryeatrho°sfe tholes board, and its effects two barges which ?lWhen the Dolphin reached the scene of disaster, the e e r c h e a i d v e i d n . sight was appalling ; the unfortunate steamer had disap peared, and the surfacnof the water was covered with living and dead bodies, the living clinging to fragments torrwhnendCamptaadine of th wreck, and to the sides of two barges, which re mained unimpaired. •By the master and crew of the Dolphin, about sixty 'persons of different ages and sexes were picked up. Of these about thirty are more or less injured, and about thirty, principally Irish, escaped un hurt. One old lady was found alive, floating on a feather- I bed, but her husband and seven children had perished. A man named Coverdale, from Denby, Yorkshire, sank M i g ht under amputation, O n Saturday leaving behind him, a wife, wbo, besides her husband, lost six children. All the seriously wounded were brought in a Durham boat, on Saturday evening, and are now lying in the G.:neral Hospital. The remainder are at Lachine. Ihree of the crew and one bargeman perished ; the master and engineer are safe. 'l'he English immigrantshad with them a very con siderable capital and valuable personal property. - The Indians on the opposite side of the lake :ire busy in the work of plunder, which, we trust, will be arrested by the pollee authority. ANOTHER EXPLOSION. The St. Louis Republican furnishes us with the fol lowing aesount of another explosion near the ninuth of • - the Missouri, by w hich persons, mostly Ger mans, were wounded. The steam-boat Edna collapsed both flues of her lar board boiler at a quarter past .four o'clock, this mo rning. at the mouth of the Missouri river. The Edna l e aded at-theinouth about one o'cloci' this • The Dam was *lyini, • there, and the kdna morning. .. e , . 39.iided on the outside. of her; and laid in such a posttion that it.' was diffiNlt for the ni — 7 3.-4 to get away from 'O,-- rol:hore. However, after a little trouble, the latan got L under way, and had run three or four - hundred • yards, when the . Edna shoved out from the shore. Her bow conld not have been more than one hundred feet from the shore when she collopied hey flues.. Her engine h:d bcea working out of gear full a half hour, and • had not I I been-stopped more than ten minutes at the very outside. I was looking at the Edna when the casualty hap pened, and had observed her some time before the acci dent, and I did not think she had unusually high steam. I am of the opinion that some obstruction existed either In. the supply pipe, or in the force pump, , which pre vented the usual quantity of water from going into the boilers. The number of wounded is sixty-three, mostly Ger mans. Some two or three were blown into the river and saved, and it is supposed that two or three others were lost. The cabins of the Edna and latan are filled with the wounded, and they are receiving every attention from the passengers and others, that can be bestowed upon them, As soon as the accident happened, the Titan dropped alongside the Edna, and towed her to the Illinois shore, a hen the Annawan took her in tow, and the latan- pro- Ceeded to St. Louis with the wounded. The Edna was bound up the Missouri with full freight. She had been towed in by the Annawan. So far, we are unable to get the names of the wounded, but learn from the officers of the Edna that they were Germans, with the exception of the second engineer, who was on watch, and one fireman. They are a portion of a party of emigrants, who landed here a few days since from the Cl'edonia. iVe understand that not a single cabin passenger was injured. • Two or three only have died, though it appears ahriost impossible that several of them can recover. We were on board the Edna. and never have we be held sad; a sight. A number of men and women appear to be literally skinned. The whole force of the steam was thrown aft, over the deck passengers, as they slept. They will be removed to the Hospital. EMIGRANTS.—The Quebec Mercury of the Bth says, the . steeeti have beeh crowded with emigrants for some days past, many of them are respectable in appearance, and several have brought money with them ; others are poor and, have already added to the number of street beggars, no legal provision existing for the poor here. Those who are able proceed up the river, and they get to Montreal for an English shilling. Generally we should say, there are three children for one grown person, and we fear that the fate of many next winter will be worse than it could have been at home, where a compulsory provision is made for the poor, and there is great w eath to aid - them by charitable contributions. STATE OF TRADE. The approach of midsummer and consequent finish to our spring business, is pretty aparent along the har bour and throughout the city generally. But few vessels have arrived since July set in, and those with indifferent cargoes. There have, howe.er, been very light winds for several days, so that most of the vessels, 'steamers excepted, were unable to make much headway, even if there was business requiring their services. Among those going west, we observe a large number of German, Swiss, and English immigrants, who are mostly seeking Wiskonsan Territory. Whatever por tion of them remained at ports along the sea-board, we must confess that such as have reached this city do not present that spectacle of squalid poverty , and destitution which many of the city p rints s p eak of. They all appear healthy, with ample means of reaching their new abodes in the west. There has been but little doing in the Grain Market for several days. Sales of small lots of best Flour have been effected at $5 25, and Wheat is held at ifl 10. Corn continues . at 35 cents.; and Oats 25 per bushel. It is generally allowed that we are to have but little more of the old crop this season. At Cleveland the • market is entirely bare. • The business of the Canal-office in this city for the first week in July was as follows :—Tolls received , 11,369 dols. 83c. Number of boats cleared, 160. The millers of Dttytor, Ohio, have refused any further contracts for Wheat at 371 Cents - per bushel, and there is not the 'least doubt that Wheat will be sold this fall in the interior Western:States as low as 25 cents per bushel; every thing indicates this.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE : HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, July 29. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr, Justice Couriemac Martha Robinson, 22, a pretty looking young woman, was indicted for the wilful murder of her male illegitimate child, by striking and casting it to the ground, and by strangling and suf focating it. In another count the prisoner was stated to have caused the death of her offspring by divers ways and means un known to the jurors, and Thomas Robinson, 58, the father of the prisoner, was indicted for being feloniously present aiding and assisting the female prisoner to commit the alleged felony and murder. Roth the prisoners were dreadfully affected when they were placed at the bar, and when the prisoner Martha had pleactedl, she fell to the mend almost immediately insensible, anti was in that state removed from the dock. Mr. Clarkson, who was instructed for the prosecution, had' a communication with the Court % it was arranged that the , trials of the prisoners should be taken seperately, and that of the male prisoner Was first proceeded with. Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner.. Mr. CLA RKSON addressed the Jury, and said they would have gathered from the indictment that had just been read, the dreadful character of the charge imputed to the prisoner, who, in 'effect, was accused of having assisted his own (laughter to murder her offspring. The Learned Counsel went on to say, that the prisoner might have reason to be thankful for the humanity of the laws of his country, and also the humanity with which they were adminstered ; and lie observed that the Learned Judge who presided having fonnd, from the depositions. that the fe male prisoner had made statements which would not be, le garY, evidence against the man, but which, if the prisoners were tried together, must be received as against herself, and would thus prejudice her father, it had been thought that the cases should he taken separately, and this would explain the course that had been adopted. The teamed Counsel then pro ceeded to detail the facts of the case ac they were afterwards detailed in evidence, and of which the following is a narrative : It appeared that the prisoner and his daughter lived to gether in a place called Ruffey's-buildings at Camberwell, and for some time prior to the 4th July, a suspicion was entertained that the woman was in the family way. but both she and her father denied the fact, and the latter. it ap peared had been very angry with some of the neighbours for making such an assertion. Ori that day, however, it became apparent that the suspicion was a true one, for the girl was delivered of a child, and the prisoner called in some of the persons . living near him, and a dead child was found under the bed. The child appeared to be full grown and healthy, and there welt marks of severe violence upon its persona The head was very much bruited. The feet and legs were likewise bruited and scarified, the left arm was cut, and there vete mark round the neck. Is though a ligature had been very tightly applied to it. Upon a pot( mortem examination, it was discovered that the brain was suffused with blood, and the longitudinal sinus, or large blood vessel that passes across the head, had been ruptured by sortie severe blow, and the surgeons who were examined, expressed a confident opinion that the child was born alive, and that its death was occasioned by the violence that had , been offered to it. The way in which the crime was soegbt to be made out against the prisoner was his contradic tory statements upon the subject, and also some expressions alleged to have been made use of by his daughter, in his pre sence, to the effect that he had committed the violence upon the child, and that she knew nothing of it. Two sons of the prisoner were also examined in support of the prosecution, and one of them stated that he slept with the prisoner in the room in which his sister also slept, and on the night on which it was supposed the child was born, he was awoke in the night, and lie saw his father carrying his sister up stairs, and he heard her say-Do let me rest a little, and afterwards ask her father not. to tell anybody about it, and he replied that he would:not. After this, it appeared the prisoner went down and g ot a p ad of water, and was seen to be washing up some stains of blood. It was proved also by another son, that the prisoner canted him to ask his wife to lend Martha some baby linen to put into her box, in order that it might appear she had made some pro vision, in expectation of having a child. This witness also proved that his sister, in the prisoner's presence, told him that she had been delivered of a child, but that it was dead,:anctshe had placed it in a band-box, and her father knew nothing about it, dnd she wished to bear all the blame. Mr. CHA KNOCK addressed the Jury At some length on be half of the prisoner, and contended that however strong and horrible the suspicion might be against him, yet that, in the absence of direct proof, they would not be justified in return ing a verdict of guilty, the effect of which would inevitably be to sacrifice the life of the prisoner. He then proceeded to comment upon the facts, and submitted to the Jury, that the conduct imputed to the prisoner might be very fairly attributed to the natural feelings of a father, who was desirous of shield ing his daughter from the disgrace she bad incurred. Mr. Justice COLTMAN then went through the evidence with great minuteness, and left the case in the hands of the jury. who retired, and were absent from Court about an hour, when they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Henry Cramer surrendered in discharge of his recognizanees to answer a charge of misdemeanour, preferred against him at the instance of the Croydon Railway Company. The case has been before the public during the last few days. The defendant, it will be recollected, by stupidly endeavouring to get from one carriage to another, while the train was in mo tion, was the occasion of one of the servants of the Company being killed The Magistrates who beard the case, decided upon making the defendant enter into sureties to appear at these assizes, and Mr. Bodkin, now attended on behalf of the Company, to prefer a charge of misdemeanor. The indictment against the defendant alleged that he, being a passenger upon the Croydon Railway, unlawfully endangered the lives of the other passengers. • The defendant expressed his regret for his conduct, and said that with the permission cf the Court, he would plead guilty to the charge. Mr. Justice COLTNIA N, having looked at the depoi•itiosis and at the indictment, expressed a doubt whether the charge c,iuld have been supported, and as the defendant had pleaded guilty, he thought that, under these circumstances, it was only a case for a nominal penalty. Mr. BODKIN said the indictment had been framed under some section of the Croydon Railway Act, which made any act, or any thing done likely to endanger the safety of the passengers upon the line, a misdemeanour. He believed this was the first charge of the kind that had been made under 1 the clause in question, and he was free to express that he felt a doubt whether it was intended to apply to such an act as that wl.lah laaditeson committed by the defendant. As, how ever, the Magistrate had thought fit to order him to End sire -1 ties to answer the charge, thc Company felt it was their duty to the pubic to show that they were ts illir.g to adopt every pro ceeding that might be neccssary to ensue their safety. Mr. Justice COLTMAN said the Company had acted very properly, but he WII3 of opinion that the c harge could not have been legally supported.

VICE-CIIANCELLOR'S COURT, July 29. IN RE JAMES HASTINGS. The insolvent was a general dealer and slop-seller in Hounds ditch. The number of cr editors whose names appeared in his schedule exceeded 100, and the debts were about 2,80(1. in the aggregate. He attributed his insolvency to the loss of a vessel on its passage to Australia, by which a quantity of goods he consigned to his son, who managed his business in the colony, was lost to the amount of 8001. His petition to be discharged was opposed in person by a cre ditor named Moss, who stated that the insolvent called upon him last March, and after looking at a quantity of wearing ap parel arid other goods for exportation, ordered them to be sent to St. Katherine's Docks, where they would be paid for be fore being shipped. The goods were placed on board, when the insolvent told him he had not then the ready money at hand, but that he would give him a joint promissory note of his and his father-in-law, payable in 61 days. After some time, in consequence of the vessel in which the goods were shipped being about to sail, this offer was accepted ; but when the note be came due it was dishonoured, and the opposing creditor never gist a penny of his money since. lie ur g e d that insolvent " 'should be remanded, on the grounds of having obtained the goods under a false pretence. After the examination of two witnesses on behalf of the in solvent, whose evidence was without general interest, he was ordered to be discharged forthwith. IVELAND. DUBLIN, Juts 27.—The Right Hon Sir Edward Sugden arrived in town this morning from England, and at two o'clock this afternoon was sworn in one of the Lords Justices, in the absence of Earl De Grey. It is expected that the Chancellor's stay in Ireland will be but of short duration. The other Lords Justices are the Archbishop of Armagh and the Lieutenant - General commanding. Sir Edward Blakeney. The Evening Post of last night says, in reference to this subject, " A correspondent infouns us that the Rev. Robert Daly is likely to obtain the vacant see of Meath, through the influence of his brother, Mr. J. Daly, of Dunsandle, with Sir Robert. Peel. The elevation of Mr. D. to the bishopric would not put an end to the protracted litigation regarding the cleaner, of St. Patrick's, inasmuch as the appeal of Dr. Wilson is likely to come before the Court of Delegates. In the interim, should Mr. Daly be promoted to the Bench it would become a question whether the deanery of St. Patrick would rest in the patronage of the Government." The Athlone Sentinel gives the particulars of a singular case of self-destruction. A man, named John Griffin, resid ing at 31iltown, in that neighbourhood, having had a trifling dispute with a relative about some money transaction, pledged a saw for 3d., and having purchased some arse nic, he mu d a stream a g, I and drankmixe it in runnin it off. So determined to g in se effect his purpo was the unfortunate (chow, that he was observed by some persons, not aware of his deadly intention, to rinse the vessel, and again to swallow the contents. Immediately after the fatal i act, Griffin went up to some men haymaking in a neighbour ing field, and said, " Boys, you'll not be troubled with me long —l'll be dead before two hours ; I've taken this mug full of arsenic." Various antidotes were used by a medical man in the , town, without effect. The Jury returned a verdict of Feb° de se. I.onergan, charged with being one of the Irincipals in the savage attack upon Alr. Wilson, nas been arrested by Captain White and a party of the Cork constabulary.

Mary Smith, a good-looking young woman, genteely dressed, was placed at the bar on the following charge : Mr. Robinson, the solicitor, attended on her behalf. Mr. George Marshall, of No. 2, Mercer's-terrace, Upper Holloway, auctioneer, stated that about eleven on Thursday night, as he was walking along Piccadilly, on his way home from a friend's house, he was accosted by the prisoner, who took hold of his arm and walked by his side, although he in nowise en couraged her to do se. With a view to get rid of her he turned up Albany-court, thinking there was a thoroughfare into Regent-street, and on discovering his mistake, he found the prisoner close behind him, and nearly at the same moment felt her hand at his trowsers' pocket, and he directly missed from it a canvas money-bag, containing two 5/. Bank of Eng land notes, six sovereigns and a half, and 3s. or 4s. in silver. He seized hold of her, and accused her of robbing him. She made no reply, but attempted to break away from him. At this instant two men, who mhe had not before observed, sud denly rushed upon him, and striking him some heavy blows, knocked him to the ground, whirls forced him to loose his hold of the prisoner, who directly set off running. Although nearly stunned by the blows, he scrambled on to his feet again, and called " Police," when the ruffians struck him again in a most brutal manner, and knocked him down. In a few minutes afterwards he found the prisoner in custody of the police. The bag and money now produced is the same that was stolen i rom him. Police-Constable, No. 144, of the C division, stated, that he was on duty in Duke-street, St. James's, and heard the cry of " Police," and meeting the prisoner running, stopped her and took her into custody. The prosecutor came up soon after wards, and charged her with robbing him. She was taken to the station-house and searched, but nothing was found on her. About four o'clock this morning, as he was going his rounds, he saw a bag containing the money in question, lying on the area steps of one of the houses in Duke -street, and by which the prisoner had passed only a few yards before he met her. Mr. IlAtiiwicK asked if the prisoner was known to the police as a prostitute ? Inspector Baker, of the C division, said she was not. At the station-house she refused to give any account. of herself whatever. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate. This is the third robbery effected under similar circumstances that has taken place in the neighbourhood within the last fortnight. UNION- HALL.

He stopped, and heard the former use most. unbecoming language. lie then said, " That is very queer language for a policeman to make use of." No. 263 M told him to move on, or he would lock him up. Mr. Grew replied that he should when he thought proper, and advanced to take No. '263's number. The latter then seized him roughly by the collar, and took him to the station-house, in which he was locked up all night. Polite-constable. 112 M, corroborated the evidence of 31r.
