THE SUN, LIONDON, WEDNESDAY "EVENING, MAY S, 1861. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STRIKE AT THE PORTLAND WORKS—IMPORTANT CASE. —George Bannister and Thomas Carpenter, both of 5, Littlo Brook-street, silver polishers, and Thomas Britton, of 10, Saville-street, electro-plate finisher, all in the em ploy of the Portland Company (limited), a company em ploying above 100 hands in the manufacture of silver spoons and forks, and whose works are in Riding House street, Oxford-street, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, with unlawfully using threats and intimida tion to one Frederick Warren, also a workman in the em. ploy of the company, for the purpose of forcing him to be long to a society called the " Friends of Labour Society," contrary to the statute 6th George IV., cap. 129, sec. 3. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared for the Portland Company, the prosecutors, and Mr. Wontner for the de fence. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case, stated that the company employed above 100 hands, and that owing to the strike which had taken place the works had come to a sudden stop, and that already, although it had only been in operation a few days, it had cost the company about £l,OOO. He should prove his case and then ask him (the magistrate) to visit the defendants with a very severe sentence. Mr. Peter Bonner, of 17, Queen's-row, Camden-town, said—l am in the employ of the Portland Company (Limited) as secretary, and their works are in Little Riding-house-street, Oxford-street, a company established for the purpose of the manufacture of silver spoons and forks. The three defendants are employed by the com pany raise, and on Monday last the workmen left with out any notice, the defendants being among them, and never returned to their work. There were between 150 and his bankers account alone amounting to i 40,000 per annum, lie implored the magistrate to accept of bail, not only on account of the length of time Mr. Newton had been in prison, but on account of his age and the infirmity under which he was labouring. Ther© were gentlemen of great stability in attendance, who were perfectly willing to give bail to a large amount to ensure the attendance of Mr. New ton at the Sessions. Mr. Leech said he had only been a few months on the roll of attorneys, and he was afraid the important interests of his client might have suffered from want of experience. Mr. Woolrych said that Mr. Newton had no reason to complain of his attorney, who had conducted the defence of his client for seven weeks with great ability and great pro priety. He (Mr. Woolrych) would not act on surmises or what was not evidence, but on facts, and upon these facts he must reject the application made to him for bail. The four prisoners were then formally committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES.-TUESDAY.

All have struck except complainant and another man, and left the materials in course ofmanu facture. The average wages of the men is from 355. to 40s. There is no cause fer the strike that lam aware of. Frederick Warren, 50, Langham-street, Regent-street, said—l am a silver finisher in the employ of the Portland Company in Riding-house-street, and the defendants are in the same employ. There is a society amongst the men called the Friends of Labour Society, and it is held at the Green Man, in Union street. Previous to Saturday, the 4th of May, all the defendants had asked me to belong to the society. On Saturday last I was at work on my stool when Bannister came up to me and asked me did I intend to belong to the society. „I said I did not. Bannister then called me a " blackleg," and said, " They will kill you." Carienter and Britton afterwards asked me to join the society,:Britton stating " they'll kill you, you —." There is a secretary to the society who also waited on me several iimee. On Saturday afternoon I had occasion to go to the public house, and went up stairs to the kitchen. I saw Ban nister there and upwards of 100 others in an adjoining room. They were the workpeople at the Portland Company's Works. Bannister said—" Here's the --,,, The people were coming out of the room, the meeting hav ing just broken up. Bannister said—" Push him out; throw him down stairs ;" and no sooner were the words said than I was pushed down stairs, but so suddenly, that I can't say by whom. I was injured at the back of my head, and reported the circumstances to the directors of the com pany. Yesterday (Tuesday) moraing, on leaving my work at breakfast time, I was hooted it by those out on strike because I chose to work. Shillingford, one of the officers of the court, said—l went into one of the rooms in the public-house and found that a bill in large letters said, " The Friends of Labour Society is held here." The meeting hadjust broken up. Mr. Wontner cross-examined the witness Warren at some length, and then addressed the magistrate on the de fendants' behalf, and called Richard Woohall, of 50, Welty street, Oxford-street, one of the workmen, who said he worked next to Warren, and heard Bannister ask Warren to join the society, and Warren said he had taken an oath not to do so. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—The workpeoplo may talk to each other. Bannister works at ancther bench. By Mr. Lewis—l am on strike. !,ly wages were 30s. Some men worked overtime. Did not know why he was on strike. Lads and women were employed at some of the works, and the men did not like it. Had heard Warren say he had taken an oath not to belong to the society. Would not swear that Bannister did not call Warren a blackleg. Could not exactly say what they struck for. Saw a bit of a scuffle. Saw Bannister there and Britton. There was a rush to the door. Did not hear the expres sion " Here's:the --; let's kill him. Mr. Wontner said the men had been taken very sud denly, and he should like a little time. After a few minutes, George Street, of Colville-place, Tottenham-court-road, in the employ of the company, said—l, was at the meeting of the Friends of Labour Society on Saturday evening, and saw Warren in the next room to that in which the meeting was held. The door was open of the room he was in. I came out of the room, and saw him there. I saw a scuffle, Warren having hold of the man by the hair of his head. The man had told Warren to go out, but he refused, and then the men six or seven said they would shove him. Warren then hit him in the eye, clung round his neck, and they fell down stairs together. The strike took place on Monday morning. I know a man P0na,..,-. Ile was net there on Saturday. By Mr. Lewis—l am on strike. lam wciauer of the society. I went to the meeting on Monday. It was to tell us that the masters had closed the factory at Woburn green, and were employing boys and girls. I did not go up to the meeting and mention that Warren was there. My eye was not hurt much. Alfred Richards, 31, Cirencester-place, in the employ of the company said, The work people struck on Monday about nine. They worked till that time. Warren was at work on Monday. I was at work on Saturday. I work next to Warren. I know he was not at work on Saturday. I saw Bannister speak to Warren. Bannister asked if he (Warren) would join the Union. Warren said he would let him know at one, but afterwards said he had taken an oath that he would not. Bannister then said " You are a nice -," but he did not hear him say that he would " kill him." By Mr. Lewis-=T belong to the society. It was well known that Warren would not belong to the society. I cannot say whether anything else took place. I heard no more. Would swear I did not hear Bannister call War ren a "black leg." Bannister and Warren were talking for five minutes. Mr Tyrwhitt, in the course of some lengthy remarks on the case, said workmen had a perfect right to meet together to fix their wages or to make regulations as to their work, but this was quite another thing. The men were charged with threatening and intimidating a workman with the view of making him join a society. These cases were be coming really important. He believed the threat was used by Bannister. He considered it very imprudent of Warren in going to the union on that day—it was very unfortunate indeed that he went there. The only question was, was there a case against Britton and Carpenter. Nothing could be more atrocious than the despotism of the many over the few. He should be obliged to send Bannister for one month to prison, and would take bail in £lO for Carpenter and Britton each for three months to keep the peace. THAMES. IRE GREIT ROBBERY or SlLK.—William Crane, porter, who was apprehended in London on the 26th of March last, and Joseph Barker, a shoemaker, Peter Debock, his brother-in-law, calling himself a silk dealer, and John Newton, silk throwster, who were apprehended in Derby, on the 19th of March, were brought before Mr. Woolrycb for the last time this morning, for the purpose of being committed to Newgate to take their trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. They are charged with stealing and re ceiving 10 bales of China raw silk, valued at £l,OOO, the property of tho St. Katharine's Dock Company. This investigation has extended to a length almost nu , - precedented in the annals of police reports, and has neces sitated the examination of a great many witnesses. The evidence closed yesterday, and the prisoners were re manded, to avoid going before the Grand Jury, who had not then terminated their labours at the Old Bailey, it being agreed on all hands that a case so important and compli • cated could not, injustice to the prisoners or the prosecutors, be tried until the next Old Bailey Sessions. Mr. Angell, solicitor, applied to the magistrate to accept of bail for Debock, and urged that there was no real evi dence against him except what the police had extorted from him, and there would be a time when his character would be cleared of the serious imputations suggested by some of the witnesses, and an account given wi.y he was in pos session of three £lOO notes paid to Agg and Hunter by Newton for the silk. Mr. Angell also urged that the pri mer had been in custody seven weeks, and that it would be a great hardship to detain him in custody until the next sessions. Mr. Woolrych—l can't accept b a il. I cons id er the case against Debock a very strong one, but I will not prejudice him by making any further remarks. Mr. Hudson asked t h e m a gistrate to take bail for Crane, and said he attended there to watch the interests of the pri soner at the request of Messrs. Drakeford and Co., the eminent silk merchants in the city, to whom Crane had been a faithful and honest servant for many years . Messrs. Drakeford had often entrusted Crane with an immense amount of property, and had the highest opinion of his integrity. Mr. Woolrych also declined to take bail in this case. Mr. Leech, solicitor of Derby, in a very eloquent address, said ho approached the termination of this a suoaued NO it. no, how ever , tclt evufitlcut of au acquit , and he was actuated by c ase with great diffidence tal when all the facts would be laid before a jury. He (Mr. Leech) might have brought forward evidence which wouLl have relieved Mr. Newton of much of the odium attached to him, but he knew the megistrate'sjudg went was formed by facts and tacts alone. He denied a good deal that had been advanced against Mr. Newton by the Derby police, and that denial would be supported on the trial by many respectable persons. He did not mean to deny that the magistrate had only one course to pursue, and that was to send this case before another tribunal. The case at present looked suspicious, but at the proper time and place everything would be made clear, and Mr. New ton would bo relieved of the imputation of having received the silk with a guilty knowledge. After alluding to the large trausactions in which Mr, Newtpri had beeil pgaged, This Day, t etween 8 and B. E. AL D. P. C. X.

The Portsmouth - Water Bill was read a third time. The Great Dover-road (No. 2) Bill was read a first time, as were also the following—the Caledonian Railway Bill, the Romney Railway Bill, the Salisbury and Dorset Junc tion [Railway Bill, the Rliguny Railway Bill, and ,the Staffordshire Potteries Water Bill, PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of the Budget by Mr. Bazley from Manchester, and against the Master and Operatives Bill by Mr. Gaskell. FRIENDLY ASSURANCE BILL. LABOURERS' COTTAGES BILL.' Sir L. PALK, in moving the second reading of this bill, drew attention to the crowded state of the cottages of the humbler classes in the rural and agricultural districts of this country, from which immorality, indecency, and even fearful criminality arose, and remarked that while in towns and cities efforts have been successfully made to remedy these great evils, still the plague was permitted to run riot without check in the districts to which this bill was intended to apply. To show the necessity for such a measure, the hon. baronet cited a recent prosecution of a labourer for a criminal assault on his own daughter in his cottage, almost under the shadow of the towers of Windsor Castle, and to another case whore an hitherto virtuous young girl lead become pregnant by her own brother ; all of these and simi lar cases owed their drigin to the present crowded condition of the cottages of the labouring classes. The whole object of the bill was to extend tl those rural and agricultural districts the provisions of the act for the improving the dwellings of the labouring classes in the metropolis, and also of some of the provisions of the Sewers and Drainage Acts. He did not mean to say that the bill was perfect or that its details were not capable of improvement, but he believed all their details could be improved when the bill got into committee. (Hear.) He was ready and should be happy to adopt any alterations that might be suggested, but he called upon the house to take this step in order to secure those sanitary regulations and provisions for moral improvement which had been secured to the inhabitants of large towns. He concluded by moving the second reading of the bill. Sir G. C. LEWIS admitted that the cottages of labourers were quite open to improvement, but he believed there existed among solvent landowners a desiro to improve this class of dwellings, and to put them in as good a condition as the means of the landlord enabled him to do. Such was the case in the county in which he himself resided, though in other counties it was probable that good and wholesome accommodation was provided, excepting the sleeping apartments. To the object of the bill he was not opposed, but he feared the provisions by which those objects were proposed to be carried out would be found impracticable. For instance, the bill proposed to enable any landlord to raise by mortgage a sum not ex ceeding £l4O for the erection of each cottage, under the sanction of the Chairman of Quarter Sessions. This would be an entirely new function to be imposed upon the chairman of Quarter Sessions, and was objectionable, and equally so was the proposal to fix upon the Home Secretary the duty of deciding what should be considered a proper cottage accommodation. To the principles of the bill he was not opposed ; and, therefore, should vote for the second reading, but to the machinery he must reserve to himself the right to object on a future day. Mr. R. DUTTON supported the bill as much called for in the agricultural districts, and he trusted it would be allowed to go into committee, where it would be so modi fied as to meet the evils which it was designed to cure. Mr. B. COCIIItANE also supported the bill, and 0 .- -- • --- 3 n , .." effected by the Government making the necessary advances in the same way as undor the Drainage of Lands Act, as by this the objection raised by the right hon. baronet the Home Secretary would be got rid of. After the speech of the noble lord at the heal of the Government recently at Romsey, he thought the subject might well be left in the hands of the present Administration. Sir W. JOLLIF FE remarked that recently great im • provements had been made in various districts by landlords, who found it to be greatly to their own advantage to amend the habitations of their cottager tenants. While he gave every credit to the originators of the bill, he thought the evils now existing arose from the operation of the present law of settlement which prevented the erection of proper residences for the poorer classes in agricultural parishes, lest the demand on:the parochial funds should be increased. He feared that the bill would not be productive of the re sults which the hon. baronet (Sir L. Palk) anticipated, and looking at the impracticabilityof the details of the measure, he therefore must hesitate before he gave it his support. Sir BALDWIN LEIGHTON defended the county he represented from the imputation th at thelandlords refused to improve the cottages of their tenants, lest the parochial rates might be increased. He concurred in the opinion which had been expressed as to objectionable and impeach ' able details by which the object of the measure was sought to be achieved. He held it to be impossible for non-resi dent landlords to prevent the overcrowding of the cottages of labourers, for though a resident landlord himself he found a great difficulty of effecting that great desideratum. Mr. COLLINS admitted the desirability of such a mea sure as the present, but suggested that it should be sent to a select committee. Sir J. TROLLOPE objected to the reference of the bill :0 a select committee which wonld destroy its prospect of further proceeding during the present session. He sug gested the substitution of the Enclosure Commissioners for the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, as the proper authority to carry idle provisions of the bill into effect. The bill could be amended in committee, and with that view he should support the motion for the second reading of the bill. After a few words from Sir U. C. LEWIS in explana tion, Mr. SLANEY gave his hearty concurrence to the prin ciple of the bill, and expressed a hope that the hon. baronet, who had in►roduced it would not be discouraged by the technical objections which had been raised to it. The bill would be equally advZatageous to the landlords and their humble tenants. Mr. HENLEY scrutinised the details of the bill, which he believed would be practically inoperative, and remarked that the improvement of rural cottages should be rather left to the good feeling of the landed proprietary, and con tended that of late years a vast march in that direction had been made. He strenuously opposed the proposition to fix these new duties upon chairmen of quarter sessions; and concluded by recommending his hon. friend (Sir L. Palk) to undertake, after the second reading, to reconstruct the bill, in order that its provisions could be remodelled and rendered less objectionable than it was in its present form. Mr. WHALLEY supported the bill, and joined in the recommendation to substitute the Enclosure Commissioners for the Chairman of Quarter Sessions. Mr. BARROW concurred in the views expressed by the right hon. gentleman below him (Mr. Henley), and strongly objected to the reference of the bill to a select com mittee, because he considered that its provisions should be publicly discussed for the full information of the public. Lord HENLEY remarked that there was one objection to the measure which ought to be got rid of before the house consented to give the bill a second teading. The point was the amount of interest which was to be paid for advances made for the purpose of carrying out the act. He could state from his experience cf raising money for county improvements in his own district, that there was great difficulty in raising money to be repaid in instalments at five per cent., and yet the bill limited the rate of interest to 4 per cent. There were other points of objection which he entertained measure, but as the heuse seemed disposed to concede second reading of the bill, he would abstain prsent from entering upon them. bill, and hoped Mr. S. ESTCOURT supported the t o the measure, in jectionable. Committee the bill would be so rem odelled as to be MIA- The bill was then read a s econd tuna, and was ord ered to be committed pro for ma on Monday next, (LEFT SITTING) WILLIAM GRENFELL, M.P. von WlN"rr.Windso regret to learn that Mr. DEATH OF Grenfell, late M.P. after a short illness. Windsor, expired on Saturday at 1114VeleEci: NOTTINGHAM. The ad journed Maidenhead, inquest on the body of Joseph Smith, who was so Ta T pl it ow z -court , brutally murdered by his own son at Ilkeston on Wednes day, May 1, was resumed at the Queen's Head publichouse, Bath-street, Ilkeston, before Mr. Coroner Whiston, on Mon day. The evidence was entirely conclusive, and the jurors returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the pri soner George Smith for the murder of his father, Joseph Smith, On the re-assembling of the commissioners yes terday, Mr. Bird, C.E., of Robert-street, Adelphi, described his plan for an embankment, *a roadway and railways on the Middlesex side of the river be tween London-bridge and Westminster. The em bankment would run from Queenhithe-stairs and thence along the north bank, terminating in or near Westminster. There would be a public carriage road and footways on it from Chatham-place, Blackfriars, to Whitehall, and railways, one com mencing at Queenhithe and terminating opposite Manchester-buildings, and another to unite with the Victoria and Pimlico Railway, together with a pond or reservoir with ingress and egress for the tidal waters adjoining the Thames at Fulham, with sewers, sluices, culverts and spoil banks. There was a bill now before Parliament for effecting this object at en estimated cost of £750,000, with power to increase. There would be three lines of railway, two for passengers and one for goods, which would have the effect of materially relieving the erowdod, thoroughfares of the metropolis from the heavy traffic that now blockaded them. Mr. T. L. Evans submitted a high and a low level roadway ; the high level road to be carried on Doric columns 30 feet apart, and the low level to carry the sewer; also a granite or iron tramway on both sides of the road, with footpaths, with 33 acres of docks and jetties, at an estimated cost for the north side of £553,000, and a total, including the south, of £851,000. Captain Plumer explained his plan for a low level sewer sunk between the present shore walls and low water mark, with a short stone face wall of five feet high over. By means of this arrangement the tide would flow over the embankment, and barges and boats be admitted to the wharfs as usual. Th e plan also contemplates the construction of a road way or viaduct over this, and the running of a low level sewer underneath. Mr. B. Bush proposed that a railway, tt sludge.. way, and filter for the sewage should be placed side by side, and a road above the sewer, under the sludgeway, with a view to remove the sewage manure by railway. Mr. Ernest Gohns, a native of Hanover, was being examined on the plan he proposes when the commissioners rose MIS'S GLADSTONE'S LAST TEA PARTY. This lady having lately received an importation of a very high-flavoured and most expensive tea from China, invited a large party of her friends to partake of it on Thursday evening last, at her resi dence, St. Stephen's, - Westminster; but in conse quence of a most unfortunate occurrence only seventeen of her immediate and personal friends were permitted to taste of this luxurious delicacy. A middle-aged and very officious lady, a 'Miss Gibson,who is also short-sighted, offered her services as tea maker, and in her haste to supply the wants of the assembled guests, totally unmindful of the cheap and flimsy paper in which the tea was wrapped, tore off the envelope, and so scattered its contents upon the floor of the house, which was extremely dirty from the continual tread of those who had been employed in repairs during the last fortnight, that but little remained for the party present. They were, however, liberally supplied with " sugar," " sugar-cane juice," " molasses," " almonds, paste of," " cherries, dried," " comfits, " confectionery," " ginger, preserved," " mar malade," " plums preserved in sugar," and " sue cades." The above luxuries were washed down by draughts of a most delicious claret, at 12s. per dozen, with which the lady's cellar is amply stocked and we are credibly informed that no less than 299 bottles were disposed of in the course of the evening. Miss Bright was the acknowledged belle of the night, and entertained the company with a variety of comic songs. Her " Star of the Evening" was vociferously [encored.--111orning:Herald.
