Th e sale amounted to 6,000 " a lea (1,000 of which were foi export).

LINES LEASED T FIXED R gNri‘ A THIS DAY'S NEWS commissioners would take care no improper question was put to him. By Mr. Commissioner Henderson—He pursued a man from the Serpentine towards the Marble-arch, who was knocked down by a man running between bim and wit ness. He endeavoured to apprehend the man because he had bees creating a disturbance, and witness being struck on the back by a stone that came from the direc tion where the man was standing. He (lid not strike the man (who was called Benjamin Bericroft) when he was on the ground, neither did he see him struck by any policeman. The man never com plained of being struck by the police. He had his face cut by a stone, and was also struck on the br.ck, and had his hat knocked off by stones. Stone throwing was very general at one time. (Witness produced his hat, which bad a hole in it, near the top.) Henry Edwards, 434 A, was 26 years of age, and had been in the service four years. Before that he was in the Ist Dragoon Guards, which he left owing to ill health. He corroborated 413 A's statement relative to the ap prehension of Bancroft. Robert Burney, 370 A, was 35 years of age, and had been in the service upwards of 12 years. Before that he was a labourer. He had to clear the rails near the crossing, and did so by knocking on the rails with his truncheon as a caution. Mr. Mair refused to stand back. He said, " You fellow, who are you ordering back. You have no right to order us back." Wit ness said he was only obeying orders. Mr. Mair said, "D— and b your orders, who are you ?" He went up to him, and Mr. Mair pushed him back. On going to take him by the collar he made a thrust at witness in the grain with his stick. He endeavoured to ward off the blow with his truncheon, but could not say if in so doing he struck him. At the station-house Mr. Mair admitted he had assaulted witness, and that it was not the act of a gen tleman, and he was sorry for it. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—The Superintendent gave orders that the police were peaceably to request the people to desist from creating a disturbance before they took them into custody. He was two yards from Mr. Mair when he called out to him. Witness, at the request of his superior officer, sat once between Mr. Mair and his solicitor, at Vine-street Station. Mr. Mair, when apprehended, did not appear to like his grasp—very few people like the grasp of a policeman. (Laughter.) He told Mr. Mair he " could see he was a gentleman by his appearance, and that he would act more cautiously with him than any one else." Had Sir Richard Mayne acted as Mr. Mair, he should have taken him into custody. Mr. Mitchell examined the witness as to Mr. Hard• wicke, in dismissing the charge against Mr. Mair, ob serving there was no imputation on his character ; but Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said he could scarcely understand how Mr. Mair could have been dis charged and Mr. Hardwick° express his opinion there was no imputation on his character, when it was shown Mr. Mair was bound in recognisances to keep the peace. Mr. Mitchell asked the witness how many times he had been reported for misconduct ? He replied about seven times ; and at first refused to state what they were, and appealed to the Commissioners. He ulti mately stated them but they were of a trivial character. Witness only apprehended Mr. Mair. He struck no one, but he was repeatedly struck by stones thrown at him. Le. sint. 10 n.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. The following bllls were read a third time and passed : Dray's Estate Bill, Earl of Abergavenny's Estate Bill, Jenkins' Estate Bill. Mr. WICKHAM presented four petiticns from the inhabitants of the borough of Bradford, Yorkshire, praying for the repeal of the Beer Act of latt session before the expiration of the present one ; also, one from the shareholders of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way against Accidents on Railways Bill. _ LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on the above bill, _ Mr. MUNTZ rose to oppose the further progress of the bill, characterising it as one of the most objectionable measures that could possibly be conceived. Every man of business that he had conversed with on the bill expressed a similar opinion. If the principle of this bill was a sound one, why not carry it out ? Instead of doing that it would effectually prevent poor men from deriving any benefit from it, and none but capital ists would derive any benefit from the measure. He had read the speech of the right hon. gentleman, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Bouverie), who introduced the bill, and a more theoretical piece of stuff he had never read. (Hear, and a laugh.) Watt and Arkwright, and other men like them, had made large fortunes, but it was by their own energy and ability, and he doubted if they would have done so had they been subject to a limited liability. The Vice-President of the Board of Trade had said it was well known that in the Italian States the gentry, who were ashamed of taking an active share in trade, were in the habit of embarking their money in trading establishments without letting their names be known, and that such a result might be expected in this country when this bill became law ; but he (Mr. Muntz) believed a greater delusion was never entertained ; for, take the most intelligent and best-intentioned country gentleman, and let him have an active part in any trading speculation, and he would ruin it. (Hear.) He would ask the promoters of the bill, who had asked for such a measure, ? What portion of the commercial classes of England, Ireland, or Scot land had demanded this measure ? (Hear.) The bill would be a fruitful source of litigation. He believed it was a mere lawyers' job. (Hear, hear.) Therefore he thought if the promoters of the bill could not show better grounds for it than they had yet shown, they ought at least give time for more consideration than the bill could possibly receive at this period of the session. He there fore moved that the bill be committed on this day three months. . PREFERENCE SHARES. Aberdeen Do. N 0.2, 7 p. c BlythandTyne I 0 pei C. pref. (issd. at 501 Bris. & Ex. 4 p. c.

He entreated the house to postpone for some time at least so important a measure, until they should have time to consider an other subject intimately connected with it—he meant the law of bankruptcy. (Hear.) On the question that the Speaker do leave the chair being put, Mr. E. BALL rose to oppose the motion of the hon ourable member for Birmingham (Mr. Muntz). He denied the assertion of the hon. member thatevery com mercial man out of doors was against the bill ; every division that had taken place in this house had shown by majorities of two to one that the house was in favour of the principle of the bill, and he believed that the opinions of commercial men on this subject were fairly represented by the house. (Hear, hear.) He believed the bill would be a great boon to the country generally, and he hoped the Government would persevere in pass- Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—You say you were punished for " gossiping." What is he punishment ? Witness—Fined from Is. to is. 6d., according to the time so occupied (he stated the gossiping sometimes was with females). Mr. Ellice proposed to recall Mr. Mair to examine him in a similar manner to the course pursued: by Mr. Mitchell with reference, to charges that had been made against the police, but the commissioners thought Mr. Ellice should have questioned Mr. Mair, with a view to show he was a man of violent temper at the time of his examination. It would be an inconvenient course to pursue such a line of examination and re-ex• amination, as that now suggested. The identification of the policemen was then gone into. 385 A was called and identified by Mr. John Blan ford as the man spoken to by him in his evidence. ;:::429 A and 12 A were both identified by Mr. Robert Sims. At the suggestion of Mr. Ellice the commissioner asked Mr. Sims if he had been in the police force, and under what circurostanes he left it ? He said he was in the force from 1848 to 1853, when he was dismissed by Sir Richard Mayne. The report was that he had been 15 minutes absent from his beat. 61 -- 63 ••• .•_. 119 - 121 111 -- 113 104 - 106 - 91 9i re• ing it. Mr. W.

Mr. STRUTT said the question they had now to con sider was, whether they ought to introduce the limited liability principle to the ordinary trades of the country. (Hear, hear.) Was there any great want of capital in this country to enable persons to carry on trade ? He believed the very contrary was the case. Ile believed, if they passed the bill this session, a very great clamour would be raised against it, and they would have to re peal it after it had done a great deal of mischief. He recollected in 1825 they had new companies starting for every conceivable purpose, and tha consequence was the ruin of a large number of persons; and he believed, if this bill passed, they would have tie same evils - renewed. Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR expressed himself strongly in favour of the bill. Mr. V. SCULLY also agreed in the principle of the bill, but believed it could not receive that consideration which its importance demanded at this advanced period of the session. He entertained the same opinion on another bill on the paper—the Partnership Amendment Bill—which was of equal importance, but to which the same objection existed—namely, that it could not receive due consideration at this period of the session, Lord PALMERSTON entreated the house not to waste time in discussing whether they ought or ought not to go into committee on the bill, but to gointo com mittee at once when hon. members could discuss the merits of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Ho himself believed this was a question of free-trade against monopoly. (Cheers, and counter cheers.) He did not say this offensively ; but he was determined the country should see who it was that wastedthe time of the house by long speeches, and thus retarded the progress of this impor- tant measure. (Cheers.) Mr. SPOONER supported the motion of the hon. member for Birmingham (Hr. Muntz). (LEFT SITTING.)

A second report, in manuscript, it was believed, would also be introduced in favour, it was said, of the opening of houses from one o'clock in the day until 11 at night, without intermission.

STATE or TRADE.—The month of August, which is generally accounted in our lace trade the worst business month in the year, has already anticipated itself ; and there is little or nothing doing ; nor till about the middle of September. when a few articles may begin to be made for the winter, can we expect a resumption of anything like activity. In hosiery we have nothing particular, and fortunately no bad feature, to report. As the months reckon from the 20th to the 20th we are already entered upon August. The tidings from America con tinue favourable to our spring prospects ; and unless the sudden access of bad weather interferes with those of the harvest, a good home trade also is hopefully looked for. Yarns continue firm.—Notts Guardian. DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.--Yesterday morn ing a burglary was committed at the house of Mr. Bar ringer, an independent gentleman, situate in the Old Kent-road-place, near the Bricklayers' Arms. The house was unprotected, Mr. Barringer being on the con tinent. A burglary had been attempted at the kitchen door, a large portion of one of the panels of which had been cut away. Being foiled, however, in this attempt, owing to the security of its fastenings, it is believed the burglars went upon the grass-plot, and having succeeded in opening a window, an easy entrance followed. Every box, every drawer, and every p'.ace of security in which property might be supposed to have been deposited, was broken open, and a considerable quantity of plate and other valuables, known to have been possessed by Mr. Barringer, were all carried away. The extent of the loss . is no doubt very considerable. CAMPS OF INSTRUCTION. —lt is in contemplation to establish camps of instruction on Barham Downs, within a few miles of Canterbury, and on Penenden Heath, near Maidstone. It was at Barham Downs that the Flushing expedition, and a part of the army destined for Egypt, were encamped previous to embarkation. The camp here is intended to accommodate about 4,000 troops, cavaly, infantry, and artillery ; and that on Penenden Heath 3,000. THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER, DR.

INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.—(THIS DAY.) The commissioners took their seats this morning at a quarter-past 11 o'clock. The court was denseiy crowded. Mr. Ellice said that one of the witnesses who had sworn to a certain policeman, called on him this morn ing to say be should not attend to identify the police. man unless he (Mr. Ellice) guaranteed the payment of his expenses. Re informed him he could do no such thing, and referred him to Mr. Mitchell. The Chief Commissioner said they had no power to awar d compensation to any witness, and he thought Mr. Ellice had done perfectly right in not p romisin g t o pay an y expenses. The first policeman called was 41$ A, who Mr. Oli ver swore he saw strike a man, but Mr. Oliver this morning was unable to identify the man other than by his number. John Winters, 413 A. said, he had been in the force 4, years, and before that he was 6 years in the Irish constabulary. He was 28 years of age. At half-past 4 o'clock orders were given to clear the carriage -way. Witness, with 470 A, proceeded to do so by striking at the railing and desiring the p eople to go back. Mr. Mair was near and said he would not go back. 470 A said, " I'm only obeying or ders." Mr. Mair said, " Damn your orders ; I'll not go back. ;" and called on the people not to do so. 470 A went to him, when Mr. Mair pushed him in the chest. He saw Mr. Mair ap. prehended and conveyed a wa y in a cab. Cross-examined by Mr. M itchell —Are y ou sure it was 470 A Wit ne ss—No ;it was 37 0 A . There wa s not a great crowd where Mr. Mair wa s standing. He could no t eight say how many people were behind Mr. Mair whether the people we re three or four dee p .

Wit ness did not strike the railing. He heard the order given to keep the people back from the rails, but did not know who gave it, 370 A called on the people to stand back as he walked along. As the police passed on the people came forward again to the railings. He should not like to be struck with a policeman's truncheon. He should think people would express irritation at be ing so struck. He positively swore that he never struck any one that day with his truncheon. He did not see 370 A strike Mr. Mair, but the latter Punched the constable with his stick ; he heard orders given that if a man created a disturbance he was to be cautioned, and if he did not desist to take him into cus tody, but he could not say who gave the orders. A cau tion was given in Mr. Mair's instance by ordering him to stand back. The witness, who was repeatedly questioned by Mr. Mitchell relative to the observations made by Mr. Mair, I appealed to the commissioners to know if he was cora -1 pelled to answer the questions so often put to him.

His apology was a very sufficient one. lie was (as he said) in a transition state, having within a few hours vacated his seat in Parliament by accepting a Government office, and his time, consequently, being completely engrossed ; for which reason, he added, he could remain but for a short time. Sir Benjamin opened the proceedings by an excellent address, explaining the objects of these meetings, advocating their usefulness, effective in and warmly recommending them to public favour. The first business was the competition of performers on the Welch harp, a noble instrument, but of pri mitive construction.

On the whole, the proceedings of this Eisteddfod were pleasing and interesting ; and we trust that it will lead to other meetings of a similar kind, more fully prepared 1 and on a greater scale.

A more ln• crative appointment is the occasion of Mr. Siinpeon's re. kipation. THE ARAB INSURRECTION AT TRIPOLI, TRIPOLI, July 14. The local authorities here have received news of the troops sent against the rebels, headed by the Chief Gourma, who had encountered the Turks and engaged them in a battle, which it was said lasted two days. The extermination of the Turkish army, which has almost all fallen into the hands of the Arabs, is the re sult of the action. Gourma is now at the head of fifteen thousand determined men, and fourteen pieces of cannon taken from the Turks, and intends laying siege to this city, which is without means of defence. JULY 15, The wreck of the Turkish army which has submitted to the rebels arrived this day. The Turks are com pletely beaten, and their artillery, flags, provisions, music, and military chests are taken, and scarcely a man has escaped, except those who were not absolutely en gaged in action, and who have arrived here in flight and disarmed. After this victory the artillery taken in the field of battle was employed against the citadel, which surrendered ; the forces would from thence be directed against Tripoli, which is likely to surrender, there not being more than a thousand soldiers to defend it. Gourms, the Arab chief alluded to, represents the ns tionality of the native Arab tribes, as opposed to the existing Government, which owes feudal homage to he Sultan. On account of his peculiar opinions he was held in Trebizonde for many years as a hostage, but , escap ing lately, was received with acclamations in his native land, where, taking advantage of the death of the l Pacha of Tunis, he has raised t he standard o f rebellion.
