IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 29. At Four o'clock the SPEAXER took the chair, at which time there was but barely the sufficient number of Meni hers present to constitute a House. Several private Bills were passed through various stages, and several petitions were presented in favour of certain Rail-road Bills. Lord STANLEY brought in a Bill for the more speedy recovery of debts in the district of the Tower Hamlet, which was read a first time. CANINE MADNESS. Mr. Alderman WOOD brought in a Bill to prevent the spreading of canine madness, which was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Sir M. STEWART presented petitions from several places in the county of Renfrew in favour of Reform, and took that opportunity of expressing his great regret and disapproval of the military having been called in at the late election at Lanark. The Member made some further observations. Mr. C. DOUGLAS thought the circumstances of the case quite justified the resorting to military aid. As the whole subject was under judicial investigation by tl.e Lord Advocate, he thought it therefore neither proper or necessary to go into any details. Mr. P. STEWART quite disapproved of the military having been called out, as the large civil force at Lanark had neither been overpowered or called into action. The lion. Member went into some details. After some obsens from Sir G. CLERK, Sir Wm. RAF, anal Mr. P. STEW A RT, the petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. SEVERN presented a petition from Fowey against the stamps on marine insurances. Mr. WILBRAHAM presented a petition from Mac clesfield, praying that the hours of work for children should be the subject of a legislative enactment. Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for a return of the number of informations filed by the Attorney-General re specting charitable institutions since the date of the last return, and for other papers connected with the same sub ject.—Ordered. Mr. PROTHEROE also moved for certain returns connected with charitable bequests in Bristol. HUME suggested that the returns should be ge neral throughout the country. He was sure that many funds raised by bequests were perverted from the channels intended for them by the persons who bequeathed the money. Mr. PROTHEROE declined at present to taske his motion general, as the information he required would, he believed, allay the excitement that prevailed upon this subject. Mr. HUNT said he knew that one charity in Bristol was 1201. a year, for the Mayoress to give 21. a year to sixty poor women, and, upon inquiry, he found that in se veral instances the 3layoresses had, instead of laying out the money in that way, put above 1001. a year into their own pockets. Mr. S. RICE doubted whether the object of this return could be accomplished; it was calling on the parties to give accounts of all their charitable funds, how they arose, how applied, &c., and the question embraced a nice question of law as well as of fact. No one could tell to whom to ad dress the order for the return, and he could not conceive hew a return in accordance with the motion could be made. Mr. O'CONNELL denied that any point of law ex isted with respect to the return, it was matter of fact ; it was merely' to order a return of the money actually re oeived., and the mode in which it was expended. Mr. PROTHEROE was willing to withdraw his mo tion and wait for a more general one, if it was the desire of the House. Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for a return of the esti mated expense to be incurred under the Waterloo-street Bill, distinguishing the amount borne by the public from that borne by private individuals. JURIES IN IRELAND. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that as it was not the intention of Ministers to bring in a Bill to put the laws relating to Juries in England and Ireland on the same footing, be gave notice that on the 19th July he would submit a mea sure for that purpose. On the 26th July he would submit a motion to enable defendants in prosecutions for libel to prove the truth of the contents of the libel, and thereby discharge themselves. The same Holf. GENTLEMAN presented two peti tions regarding education in Ireland—one from the Guardians of St. Peter's Free School, and the other from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of St. Catherine, Dublin. He denied that the Roman Catholic Clergy were adverse to education. LAW EXPENCES IN SCOTLAND. On the motion of Mr. HUME, and after a few words from Mr. Rice, the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Cotillion], a co py was ordered of an account ren dered b y the Sheriffs and Stewards in Scotland to the Court of Exchequer of their receipts and disbursements in the public service during the year 1830. Also a copy of an arcount of the expenses attending criminal prosecutions in Scotland car ried on in the name or under the authority of the Lord .Advocate, for the year 1830. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the coal-whippers of the port of London, against the new arrangements in the coal trade, and praying compensetion. Mr. SADLER. and Mr. F. LEWIS each said a few words, after which the petition was laid upon the table. THE SIX ACTS. Mr. HUME, on presenting a petition from Mr. Hether ington, the printer of the Republican, for the repeal of the Six Acts, observed, in reference to what had passed yesterday, that he was authorised by the petitioner to state that he was, o nly the printer of the Republican, and in order to be assured of the fact, he (Mr. Hume) had ob t iined possession of two of the manuscripts from which two of the numbers of the Republican were printed, and hence it appeared that the real writer was a person in the enemy's camp, with whose name no doubt many gentlemen who heard him were acquainted. (Cries of " name, name.") He had no objection to name him—Mr. Lo rimer, awl if it were required he would give his address :else. (Hear, and laughter.) The arguments of the pe tit:o ter against the continuance of the Six Acts were most convincing : it was as if a tyrannical law had passed for bidding shoemakers to make shoes for the lower orders ; by theie acts printers were allowed to print only for the higher orders, as none could buy but those who ii ere rich. Ile (Mr. Hume) had been furnished with a list of eighteen individuals confined for various periods, from six months to three years, during seven years, while the late Secretary for the Home Department was in office, although ke (Sir R. Peel) had himself slid last night that it would be far better not to engage in any such proceedings. He moved that the petition be brought up. Sir H. HARDINGE, in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend (Sir R. Peel,) asked whether the Hun. Member meant to say that Mr. Lorimer, who, he asserted, was in the enemy's camp, wrote in the Republican in opposition to the sentiments and principles he really professed? If such were his conduct, he (Sir H. Hardinge) could only say that no punishment could be too heavy for such a person when convicted.—(Much cheering.) Mr. HUME added, that he would completely satisfy the Right Hen. Gentleman ; he would give him Mr. Lorimer's address, and then by calling upon him he would be able to satisfy himself.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had said that he entertained great suspicion that the manu script for the Republican came from the enemy's camp,— (No, no.) The author in all such cases ought to be pro secuted, and not the u nfortunate printer. Sir H. HARDINGE called upon the House to recollect the first statement made by the Hon. Member for Middle ttex ; be did not give it as a mere matter of suspicion but of fact, that the manuscript of the Republican came from the enemy's camp.—(Cheers from all sides.) Now the Hon. Gentleman seemed anxious to back out of his as sertion. Mr. HtTME—I am not. Sir H. HARDINGE—The lion. Member had given It . h 55 a fact that Mr. Lorimer, who wro t e in the Repub can, was connected with the present Opposition side of th e Hou se —th at h e was i n the enemy's catnp: he did not seem now prepared to treat the subject with his ususi flumes,. Mr. HUMP ...-I said that I bad a suspicion—(No !) ~ a strong ~,p i e k , that it did comen7(No, no)—then I will say at once laughter.) trom the e nemy's camp.—(Cheers and INIr. ROSS contended, that before the Hon. Member ventured on such an assertion, he ought to be able to prove that Mr. Lorimer was real with Gentlemen on the Opposition side of the House. Captain GORDON argued that the Republican wa., parts of the the organ of Political Unions in various t a letter sent king dom, and be read one or two sentences from by Mr. Hume to the Political Union of Dunfermline, f commending the establishment of reading roo p ' tn e e s:, t " :t l t h i . e ne c'ir r e e u - - 'ont" t to circu lation of pamphlets, and holding out the ex the elective franchise would in time be communicated them, although not at present contemplated.—(Cheers re peatedly from Mr. Hume.) The same advice had been given to the Political Unions at Paisley, Greenock, and other large towns, where the Hon. Member for Middlesex had talked to them in his correspondence of the" Rights of Man"—words used by the enemies of the British Consti • tution and of everything that pertains to it. Mr. lIUME vindicated the course he bad pursued wit!) i'egard to Political Unions. He wished that instro,lio I should be given to the lower orders, by meats of reading rooms and pamphlets, in order to render them fit to re, ceive the elective franchise. As to the words " the rights of man," the Hon. and Gallant Member cotrpled the cant of 1793 with the political contests of the present day ; but be (Mr. flume) challenged him to produce any writing by him (Mr. Hume), within the last twelve month., which mentioned " the rights of man." He would move that the letter be laid on the table. Mr. GORDON explained. Sir C. WETIIERELL would only read to the House the title in the first page of one of those papers, published on Saturday, the 18th June. The first article was headed " The Sovereignty of the People," and it was dated, " th. 18th June, in the Year of the People ONE."—(hear, hear.) He would let the House - see now what those writers sail of the Church.—(Coughing.) He begged pardon—he would call the attention of the House to one paragraph.—(Hear.) " As a temporary relief, and pre vious to a total confiscation of what is called the propert!, of the Church—(Hear, hear, and laughter.)—that property should be subjected to a tax for the main tenance of the poor." Now he (Sir C. Wetherell) re minded the Hon. Member for Middlesex, that although he disclaimed any connexion or community of opinion with the writers in those publications, he (Mr. Hume) had often said the property of the Church was resurnable by Parliament.—(Hear.) Therefore, all the distinction be tween that lion. Gentleman and the Republican rested upon the difference between r e sumption and confiscation. —(Hear, oh, and laughter.) Now he (Sir C.W.) would let the House see how those writers spoke of the army. An article commenting on the assistance given by the army to the civil authorities in quelling disturbances, was headed —" The Army, Man-Butchers." But he would not trouble the House longer by running through the whole of I the Republican.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He concluded hp I reading a passage from a letter of Mr. Hume to a Society in Glasgow, in which that Hon. Member said he " bad no doubt the franchise would be extended beyond the limits of the present Bill ;" from which he (Sir C. Wetherell) inferred that the Hon. Member for Middlesex anticipated another new Constitution to supersede very soon that which the Rerorm Bill would establish.—(Laughter.) Mr. LAMB wished to remind the House of the incon venience to which such discussions as the present must invariably lead. He bad heard it admitted by some of the gentlemen with whom the conversation originated, that a mischievous notoriety was given to those writings by pro secution.—(Hear, hear.) But it was of little use that the Government should abstain from prosecution, if Hon. Gentlemen were to take up the time of the House and delay the public business, in order to confer upon such writings the notoriety which their authors desired.— (Cheers.) Ile believed, from what he had heard that evening, that the discussion on that subject the day before had contributed much to increase the circulation of the publications in question ; and he greatly feared, from the turn the debate had now taken, their dissemination would be promoted still more extensively.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL defended the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex from the attack of the Learned Gentleman below him (Sir C. Wetherell). He agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Lamb), that such discussions as the present effectually served the papers referred to in the stead of advertisements. He was sure that the pro prietors must be very grateful to the Hon. Member for Dundalk, who seemed to have volunteered his services to them as bellman—(Much laughter)—and, in that ca pacity, to go about proclaiming to the public at what shop they may purchase blasphemy and sedition at the lowest price.—(Cheers and great laughter.) Mr. PAGET deprecated those discussions, by means of which the House was sometimes occupied to the fatiguing hour of half-past one o'clock in the morning with matters which in no way Concerned the welfare of the nation— (Hear, hear)—whilst gentlemen, accustomed to the pure air of the country, were shut up, for many weeks more than was really necessary, in the close streets of the metro polis, to the injury of their health as well as of their do mestic affairs.—(Hear.) Besides, he thought that nothing could more sink the character of the House than discus sions such as that introduced by the Hon. Gentleman below him (Mr. Gordon.)—(llear.) He thought that the high character of the Hon. Member for Middlesex ought to have protected him from the improper, the unjustifiable attack which had been made upon him.—(Hear.) Sir H. HARDINGE thought that, when the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last was sonic time a Member of that House, be would he aware of the impropriety of lecturing Hon. Members in a long serm on u p on the sub jects whch they thought proper to discuss. Mr. RICE agreed with the Hon. Member for Leicester shire, that the time which ought to be devoted to public business was very injudiciously wasted in discussions like the present.—(Hear.) REFORM BILL. In answer to a question from Mr. HL ' aie, Mr, RICE said, that as he was not charged with the conducting of the Reform Bill, he could scarcely under take to answer the question of the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex. But he believed that the Noble Lord by whom that Bill had been introduced was aware of the inconve nience which would he occasioned by that alause in the Bill, excluding from the franchise householders who paid their rent quarterly. He believed that the objectionable provision in that clause was merely a technical mistake, and that such a change would be made as would prevent the inconvenience.—(Cheers.) Mr. A. SANDFORD obtained leave to bring in a Bill to remedy the defects in the titles to lands allotted or taken in exchange under Inclosure Acts. Mr. BENETT ruse to move, " That the Report of the Committee on the Liverpool Election be reed," when Mr. J. WOOD moved " That the House be counted." There being only thirty-five Members present, the House immediately adjourned. THE WATERLOO FLAG. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-By a paragraph, which went the round of the papers about a week ago, it appears that Mr. Moore, the army accoutrement manufacturer, is the deputy appointed by the Duke of Wellington, at a salary of SOL per annum, to perform the duty of presenting the Waterloo flag at Windsor. This is somewhat singular. Why should Mr. Moore be chosen by the Duke for this distinction? Is it in silent sarcasm against the wellraccoutred heroes who perambulate our streets, in all the bloom of bloodless valour, that his Grace selects the artificer of their chivalry RS the remembrance; of his? Or, does the Duke, in com pliment to the Tory body of Merchant Tailors, to which he belongs, adopt this method of r aisin the members of a much maligned profession to the rank ard dignity of manhood? Whether these motives, or others equally im portant, have hitherto actuated his Grace, it is to be hoped that &different spirit may be awakened in him. Through your paper, Sir, 'should wish to inquire, whether there are no brave veterans, broken in fortune, heart, and health, who, atter having borne the burden and heat of the day, now see themselves surromaded by a numerous offspring, for whose support a half-pay pittanne is the sole provision ? Would this 301. be ill-bestowed on a gentleman of this class ? But a far higher end might be answered, by annually choosing some one of the brave partners of his military toils, his Grace would have the gratification, so pure and deep to a generous mipd, of bringing merit into notice in a quarter, where it nerd only be known to be acknowledged and rewarded. I shall be told, perhaps, that the presenta tion of the flag is not made to his Majesty in pgrson, and strange, indeed, would it be if the King of England were to grant an audience to a man having no possible sympathy or concern ia the automaton duty he is paid for performing. But, were a Waierloo soldier to present the Waterloo flag, can any one doubt that his tlarsty would feel a proud satisfaction in receiving this matuo,:al of British valour at the hands of a British veteran ? Be as sured, Sir, that if this suggestion be disregarded, it will not be so in compliance with any Royal scruples. That it will be disregarded, however, is likely enough, and in that case, what answer shall the friends of the Duke give when they hear him accused of coldness and indifference toward those gallant fellows who have his campaigns chronicled in scars, as numerous am his own orders and lecoratimas ? I am, Sir, yours, &c. A FRIEND TO THE AlitlV, [We think there is great justice in the observations of our Correspondent, and we bp his Grace will select a more worthy representative on future pccasions to com memorate the glories of Waterloo.—None but the brave deserve that honour,'. En. Sun.] RECORDER'S REPORT.

A wreath of these flowers ascends from a bouquet on each side of the front of the skirt to the waist, en tablier. The hair is dressed in full cur's on the forehead, and in bows of moderate height on the summit of the head. A chaperon of roses and blue-bells surrounds the base of the bows. Necklace and ear-rings pearls. (From the World of Fashion.), OLD ENGLISH FULL DRESS. An under dress of white satin, finished round the border with a row of gold fringe, put close to the bottom, and surrounded by a plain gold band ; above which, at regular distances, are two rows of white gauze bouillons, interspersed with knots of 'green gauze ribbon. The outer dress is an open robe of green Gros de Naples, the corsage is cut low, sloped in the stomacher style, ornamented with a gold band disposed in lozenges, and a falling tucker of blond lace.

Where silk dresses and pelisses are worn, the material called quingamp de sale is generally preferred : it is similar in quality to gros de Naes, but figured in little squares a nd shot in va. riot's reflecti o ns; it is often seen in myrtle or Polish green. White dresses are seldom seen in walking costume without being lined with coloured silk; we may attribute this to the great pre, valence of white in the bonnets and hats. Every species of figured muslin is in high favour (particularly those with coloured grcunds), the designs on which are printed in colonnades, and often in detached Nnches. Notwithstanding the warmth of the weather, chaits still fontinpe M be worn in preference to silks; the daily improvement of this mapufacture in lightness and beauty causes it to be held in much estimation. White muslit; and Na pl e s pelisse robing back ala funk, to show a coloured n ow seen. high dress beneath, is the most elegant costume now seen. EVENING DRESS. The teadipg feat4re in evening dress is the absence of whole colours ; every thing is figured pr painted. Silk muslins and organdi in rich patterns. There is more fulness in the corsage than of late, and the upper sleeve is arranged with much taste and novelty. Flounces are still confined to full dress, and even then only partially worn : they are generally of lace or ond, cry deep, with little fulness, and hea ded with lace the front ethe ot the dregs is then generally trim med en tablier, to m flounce ; in dd.; rate the skirts are gored and sloped, but of a great width at the bottor4. Beits end cgintures, and bracelet bands, are manufactured of rich brocade to suit Ow colours of the dress. CANEZOUS AND PELERINES. In these the greatest novelty consists in a trimming of plaited muslin cut in cockscombs. The folds and trimming of the pele rine are of4e; Opought round the corsage in the shape of a heart. Canczous with long full sleeves and deep epaulettes are often seen with coloured skirts, either sill, or tiapred muslin. A very elegantly cut peignoir has lately been seen of sprigge4 net. InFide straight in front and in one sharp point on each shoulder ; it is slightly rounded behind, and trimmed with a double scolloped lace ati4.4upec. of seven inches width ; it is narrower where it meets in front, but vcry deep and full on the shoulders, where it forms very graceful epaulette.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE DIFFERENT CHANGES OF FASHION. cops,—The same length of waist is continued in coats of all warts ;" but the hit? buttons stand a little wider apart. Dress coa ts are worn generally witli daps rather narrow. Lappels at t(1 are wider and less pointed ; bit the pollar step is very small. All coat collars and lappels are made to swell. Buttons iise of habit size, and six or seven up the breast are not' too numerous. MORNING Colers.—Though frocks arc decidedly fashionable for morning wear, yet they are most fashionable for walking. For riding, a lapnelled coat is being adopted by gentlemen, made as follows ;onger in the waist than a walking frock; hips half an inch wider'; tl4u4le breasted, with broad curling lappels at top ; broad skirts, and stik Julie; :porter than dress coats ; lappels long in front, and the skirts cOind to the front within three inches ; pockets under the flaps.

Some young men of fashion have af,pct!recl in grey felt hats, the low crowns of which imitate a flower-;.c turned upside :.',ow..n ; the brims were very la r g e, and li g htl y brides all round. The pattern of a new thread material for pantaloons is in small squares, either :wi4i,te and grey, or grey and black. Nankin is also fashionable for pantaimP, come arc open at the sides and ad vance upon the instep, otbeis'4we c.iti rely round at the bottom, but always with sous pads. This last gain Oriarticularly adapted with shoes. A number of dandies appear at the Opera house in Polonais green Oats, with black velvet collars, and without false pockets. White pantaloons of dmible-twilled thrcaA without a pont, and tight at the waist and thigli.t, an'!a Marcella or flowered chaly w aistcoat; those of the latter with a white ground, either flowered or cashmere patterns are most fa.shionabie. Those (4. Marcella are of very small patterns. Narrow. corded dimity, either blue or lilac, made els redingote a schall, is the fashionable mat.erial for a dandy's robe de rharnbre , but the skirt, which is very long, is not open behind. Nothing is more fashionable for the promenade than pantaloons of eoutil de fil ; it is in favour also for riding pantaloons. Pantaloons, of tissus muselins Anglais, are much in favour ; it is a new and pretty material; they arc always made wider at the bottom than at the knee.

Yesterday at half-past one o'clock their Majesties arrived at their Palace in St. James's, from Windsor. At two o'clock Don Pedro, the Ex-Emperor of the Brazils, and suite, arrived at the Palace in two of the King's carriages ; they entered through the Garden-gate, which is reserved for the Royal Family. The Doll appeared in a very splendid uniform of green and scarlet, and wore a number of Orders. His Chamber lain and other attendants were also very richly attired. Don Pedro was received at the private entrance by Lord Falkland, the Lord in Waiting, who conducted him to the King's Closet, where his Majesty gave him an audience, which lasted for half an hour. The King was accompanied by the Duke of Sussex and Prince Leopold. The Convocation of the Clergy, which assembled as usual at the meeting of a new Parliament, arrived at the Palace at half.

The Gentle. men Pensioners formed a double line to the Throne, The Address, which was of considerable length, was read by the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Majesty was pleased to re turn a most gracious answer. The Archbishop, and the other Members of the Convocation, had the honour of kissing the King's hand. His Majesty afterwards held a Levee, at which the Marquis of Chandos, accompanied by the Agents for Barbadoes, Antigua, Montserrat, St. Vincent's, St, Christopher, Dominica, Nevis, the Virgin Islands, and Grenada, presented a petition on behalf of the West India Colonies, praying for relief.

A CLEVER MAN,--In the list of insolvents, whose petitions are advertised to be heard at York, on Tuesday next, we find the name of MicuAEL BELL, who is described as late of Stonegate, in the parish of St. Michael le Belfrey, Yotk, milliner, dress-maker, and jour neyman joiner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAR YLRB ONE. Aulung the eight-charges brought to this office, ye,. terday morning, from the station-house in Marylebone lane, was a miseraNe emaciated . wpinan, between 30 arid 40 years of age. A police-constable stated that on Tuesday evening the prisoner was placed in his custody by a mau who repre sented himself as the poor creature's husband, and said she had escaped from the workhouse at Esling, where she was confined as a lunatic. However, the husband did nut come forward to support any charge against her. RAWLINSON put a variety of questions to her; her replies to which were perfectly coherent. She said that her husband's name was Ambrose, and he was a waiter at a publie-house. She was removed, in March last, to the parish of Ealing, where the husband had a settlement; but not being able to get any account of three children, which she left under the care of the father, in London, she scaled the wall of the workhouse and came up to towo, for the purpose of seeing them ; but, on her arrival, dis covered that one of them had died in the interim, one was placed out with the brother cf her husband, in Portland. town, but its father would not gratify her by informing her where the other was ; on the contrary, he called a con- stable, and gave her in charge. Mr. flAwrANsos expressed the utmost astonishment at the charge of insanity being made against her, as he could perceive no appearance of any thing of the kind, and he asked her if she hid had any food recently?—She replied that she had tasted nothing all the day before, nor during the time she had been in custody. An offer was made her in the station-house to fetch her some coffee, if she could find money to pay for it ; but not having a farthing, she was not able to avail herself of the offer. " An extremely generous offer I must confess it was," said Mr. RawuNsoN, drawing forth some silver, which he gave her, directing her to go immediately and get some food. In the mean time a communication was made to the parish of the circumstances under which she was found, and orders also given to bring the husband before him. In the course of the day one of the parish officers of Marylebone came with the poor creature and her husband, whose robust and well-fed appearance formed a striking contrast with that of his miserable partner. He averred that his earnings were so small that, after paying for the children, it was wholly out of his power to give her any thing. " " " - Had I never met you," exclaimed the poor creature, "I should not now be the inmate of a workhouse. At seven years of age I was left an orphan, when a lady took me under her protection, and brought me to this country. When she died she left me independent, and the interest alone of what I had would now have pioduced me a pound a week; but you squandered every thing I possessed, until at last I was torn from my children and charged with being insane !" " I don't wonder you should be so," observed Mr. RAW LINSON. " Such conduct is enough to drive any poor creature mad." 46 When my child died," continued the unfortunate wo man, 4 4 you sent me no word of it, and I knew nothing of it until I came to town expecting to embrace my little darling, when I found it was mouldering in its grave.— The other you will give no account of." Mr. RAWLINFON—It is one of the most distressing eases I ever heard of. Is the poor woman's statement cc rrect? The husband made no reply, and evinced total insen sibility. The parish officer being asked what course be intended to pursue, replied that he had an order of removal already prepared to pass her back to Ealing. Mr. RAWLISSON objected to passing her without the husband. It would be monstrous to confine a poor woman in a workhouse who had been brought to distress by the dissipation of her husband, while he would be suffered to enjoy himself at his liberty in London. " Was it not enou2h, Sir," exclaimed the wife, addressing 3lr. Raw linson, " to drive me mad, when, at a time that I had not a crust to support nature, he went in before my face to a common brothel ? " " You are one of the greatest brutes I ever met with," said Mr. RkwuNsort, indignantly to the husband. " Let him be taken down to Ealing in custody, on a charge of refusing to support his wife. Poor. rates are not intended for the benefit of such characters. I will write myself to the Magistrates, and state the circumstances of the case." —He was then put into the hands of an officer, and, as well as the wife, sent off to Ealing. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Mr. Travell, the proprietec of some houses in the Kent-road, was brought before Mr. Hone, charged with having assaulted a Mr. Wickes. During the in- , quiry, the following -extraordinary circumstances were related concerning the sudden death of a female possessed ' of large fortune, living as tenant in one of the defendant's . I houses. Mr. Wickes stated that his family had been acquainted for the last nine years with a maiden lady named Dawson, a native of America, of most eccentric habits. Her die. like of the male sex was so great, that she never permitted one to enter her habitation, if she could possibly help it; and, owing to this strong prejudice, the few friends she had in this country experienced much difficulty in the management of her affairs. For the last five years, Miss Dawson, who was 65 years of age, had been living as tenant in one of Mr. Travela houses in the Kent-road ; and although she was possessed of property in the funds to a very large amount, yet she kept no servant, and per mitted no person to enter her house. She went out oc casionally to make purchases in the road, generally at the expiration of every three weeks, and on those occasions avoided as much as possible entering into discourse with any person. The last time she was seen out was about a week' ago, and Mr. Wickes's family knowing her, al though having very little intercourse with her, owing to her retired habits, on hearing that she died a few morn ings ago, called at the house. The moment, however, Mr. Wickes expressed a desire to enter the house, for the purpose of viewing. the corpse, and seeing that the de ceased's property was secured, he was interrupted by Mr. Travell, the defendant, who would not permit him, and eventually, as alleged by the complainant, struck him, anti , by force pushed him out of the house. Mr. 'fravell refused the complainant to enter the house, conceiving, that as it was his habitation, he was autho rised to turn him out ; and that, as he was not related 'to the deceased, lie had no business to come there and in.. trude himself. TheAlagistra t the deceaseda s kedthede d f ie en d d ; nt whether h e k new of what c ompla i nt Mr. Travail saw her shortly previous to her death, and sent for a medical man, who pronounced that she died of starvation. Mr. Wickes stated that time deceased was possessed of property to the amount of between 30,000/. and 40,000 L and be was confident she always had plenty of money in the house. The defendant said that the deceased was in his debt a quarter's rent ; there was no money found in the house, the furniture was miserable in the extreme, and the only matters of consequence discovered in her apartment were thicuments relating to property belonging to her in the English and American Funds. Owing to her strong pre judice to the male sex, and indeed her antipathy to hold discourse with any person, her exact situation was not known until it was too late to be of assistance. Mr. Wickes had every reason to believe that the de ceased bad made a will, and again expressed his belief that there was money in the house at the time of her death. Mr. HONE was 'of opinion that, from the extraordinary nature of the whole of the circumstances connected with the deceased's death, it was highly expedient that an in quoat should be held oe the body. The inquiry would also have the effect of apprising the deceased's relatives of her death, if she had any in this country. The Magistrates then gave the necessary instructions on the subject ; and, with reference to the assault which led to the present investigation, they inflicted a penalty of 463. on the defendant. FACULTY FEUDS.—It is the fortune (good or ill is matter of opinion) of the town of -, in Kent, the population of which is under 3,000, to have six apo thecaries among its denizens. The junior partner in as eminent wholesale druggist house, travelling for the firm this spring, was so pleased with the orders he obtained from them in the morning, that, in the overflowing of his heart, he invited his customers to sup with him at the Saracen's_ Head in the evening. Mr. JONES arrived first, and mutual greetings were exchanged ; but on t he a pp earance of Mr. THOMPSON, a few minutes after, Mr. JONES took up hi s hat and walked away. Mr. THOMPSON took him se lf o ff with no less precipitation on the entrance of Mr. Wu; o xr ,r.wsh.,ot,i irtanar. s l his r turn, itztailiketil had barely a wayindignantly at the sight time to pull of his gloves and enjoy a single sniff of the effluvia of a couple of tine roast ducks which " Toot," the waiter, was placing on the table, when in walked Mr. SIMPSON ;-away bolted Somut, with a look of fiery indignation at hi s e ntertainer, while Stotesos , who, luckily for himself, was the last comer, sat down to table along with his host, congratulating himself that he had escaped the " company of the scoundrel who bad just left the room." REMANET FEES AND LAW EXPENSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR,—Oburving the Judges have at length put their shoulder to the wheel, and promulgated some rules tend ing to reduce the expence of legal proceedings in the first stage of a cause, allow me, through your mediuni, to call their attention, as well as the Common Law Commissioners, to the urgent necessity of devising some scheme, during the vacation, by which the remanet fees, on the un tried causes in London and Middlesex, may be avoided. To you, Sir, and the unprofessional part of the public, it may be some information to learn that these fees, and which i❑ the course of twelve months amount to an enor mous stun, are not paid either for expediting the trial, or for the trial, but actually, and for no other reason, than the total inability of parties to get their causes tried. Allow me to go a little into detail, and to show the absur dity as well as the necessity of an immediate alteration. In Middlesex, at the end of the late term, there were 405 untried causes in the King's Bench alone. These are technically called remanets ; 12G additional causes were placed in the list for the sitting after term, making a total of 531 causes. In London there were near 600 remanets to the sitting atter term, and with the new causes for that sitting, there will no doubt be a total of 800 causes. The term ended the 13th instant, and with the exception of one day, Lord Tenterden has sat in Mid dlesex ever since, devoting four days for the trial of com mon jury causes, five days for special juries, and this day for undefended causes. The last common jury cause ap- pointed for trial was No. '73, so that with the exception of the undefended causes to be tried to-day, and the spe cial juries that have been disposed of this week, there will remain 458 causes untried in Middlesex alone, and which will stand over till Michaelmas term. In London, seven days are appointed for the trial of common jury causes, and six days for special juries. Now, Sir, my complaint is this, that in all human probability there will be in the King's Bench alone, about 1,000 c irises stanling over until Michaelmas term, and (as very few are tried in the term) there will be paid by every plaintiff at the office of the Marshal and associate (and, I presume, for his benefit, though it is immaterial fur the object of this letter), 18e. on every cause, for no other reason than as I before stated, because the parties are delayed, and cannot get their causes tried. But, Sir, this is not all: the fortunate officer entitled to the 18s. on each cause, is not the only one be nefitted,—other fees are paid to other officers, and all for the same cogent reason. In fact, to give your unprofes sional readers, and those who have the power of remedying this grievance, some idea of its extent, it will be sufficient fir me to say, that 1,000 causes, standing over in the way described, will at the expiration of the next term, be a charge to the unsuccessful litigants alone of upwards of 4,0001. This is certain, for even if parties settle their differences without a trial, the remanet fees, down 4o the settlement, must be paid, before the record is withdrawn, and the cause struck out of the paper. I am afraid, at this particular period, I have already trespassed too much on your indulgence. If, however, you think these remarks are worth noticing, I may in a few days trouble you again. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 25. A. B. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR, —Your correspondent A. B. is perfectly right as far as he goes. He has not stated that for every cause standing over from term to term 14s. in Middlesex, and 4s. 6d. in London causes, must be paid for fresh jury lists. In the list of improvements effected by the Law Com— mission, you forgot to notice the alteration of the time for sittings for the trials of causes. At present only 21 days after Hilary, Trinity, and 'Michaelmas terms, and six days after E ,ster term, are allowed by law ; but formerly there were at least 50 days more devoted, in the course of the year, for that purpose. To he sure, it obliged counsel to come to town earlier than they wished, but the pudic gained by it. The consequence is, that a defended cause has now no chance of being tried, at least under eight or nine months ; and the quickest way of getting it tried is to make it a special jury cause. Such is one of the improvements ; and I hope you will think with me that it would be " more honoured in the breach than in the observance," and that while the powers that be are firing away at the attornies, and cutting down their profits, the noble head of the highest court of criminal judicature might take a lesson in the art of reducing the fees of the officers of his court, from his noble brother of the woolsack. I am, Sir, your constant reader, AN ATTORNEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. B'll,-1 perfectly agree with your Correspondent "A. B." in his remarks on Retnanet Fees. To exhibit the abuse in its most odious light he should, however, have shown not how vexatiously and oppressively it operated on the attorney, but on the suitor, out of whose pocket the money is paid. To demonstrate how beautifully the sys tem works, I have enumerated the remanet fees on an ac tion brought in the King's Bench for the recovery of 81. for work and labour, and which was three terms on the paper of causes : lIILARY TERM. X. s. Itemanets to first sittings Ditto to second 0 15 to last U 15 . to sittings after term U 15 3 IS The like remanets for Easter Term The like for Trinity Term 3 15 £.ll 5 The whole bill amounted to 401., consequently upwards of one-fourth was incurred by these identical fees. The above, estimate is taken from the bill of costs, in which way it is usually added to that document by the Master • on taxation, as a kind of excrescence rather than as a part of the bill itself. The profit of the attorney is included in the charges, as he must be paid for his loss - of time and the interest of his money, so that the evil operates in two ways against the unlucky client—first, in having to pay the fees, and then to have to pay for the trouble of paying them ! Thus it is that an attorney's bill is swelled to an enormous size and amount; he gets the' whole odium at tending the iniquity, while be is but the jackall to a score of hondurables and Noble Lords, who take the " lion's share" of the plunder. But suitors are not without a remedy in this solitary instance, which is indeed only one of the briers and brambles which choke tke poor man's path to the course of justice, and give his rich opponent an immeasurable ad vantage over him. In the two other Courts (the Common Pleas and Exchequer) remanet fees are seldom heard of: in the latter, I may say, they are never known. It is scarcely a twelvemonth since, when I pointed out, in your columns, the necessity of opening the Excht quer as the only means of preventing accumulation of arrears in the other Courts, and the consequent evils of such arrears. The Court is now a free Court, that is, not as hitherto, mono polized by about 20 attornies ; and let every suitor mark the effect. In a cause in which I, as the plaintiff's at - Virney, had occasion for the assistance of three counsel, and which I hail to support by a number of witnesses, and wherein the cause of action only arose on or about the last day of May in this year, a verdict was obtained last week, —thus scarcely allowing three weeks from the time the injury was committed, until the law had afforded its fullest redress. Thus was saved to the party paying costs (for he is the real sufferer) all the heavy fees of rema nets, the expenses of witnesses, refreshers to counsel, and the whole train of useless and abominable ex penditure attending the " law's delay;" and, what is still of more innate importance, the racking state of suspense, and that " sickness of heart" which is the inevitable result of legal procrastination. The effect of m aking the Court of Exchequer a free Court is visible in the Court of Common Pleas, which is now exactly what the Exchequer used to be. During last term " the Judges were no sooner down than they were up ;" and it is well known that the officers have not received sufficient to pay their deputies ! Is not this " a sign of the times"---a placeholder actually losing try his sinecure ? The prefer ence shown to the Exchequer may be attributed to the fact of its being free from the payment of certain fees demanded of the practitioners in the Common Pleas, but principally to the universal satisfaction afforded by the Noble and Learned Lord, the Chief Baron, in his judicial situation. Instead of ruling the bar with a snappish, captious, and petulant hauteur, his manner combine: that rare union of dignity with mildness, and firmness with suavity; while the rich stores of his legal knowledge, and the searching acuteness of his comprehensive mind, must render him not only one of the most able, but also one of the most popular Judges that ever graced the sacred ermine. u e l‘r i T n g d hee ig n n pei a rta t i ion even of those not personally While on this subject , I car l i v n i o li t c o h mi a t p n p l e a a k r in t g he so a m dv e entof men tion these roles, no one ' s r i g hts a re iniaded— fieusl:arbitrary, and partial spirit, retrenchments have been carried into effect, ai,nnhl interested. which l rih t e. t he fuet.ohsreremestget.
