CLERK gave notice that he would on Fri day move for leave to bring in a Bill respecting cer tain treaties and conventions with Foreign States for the suppression of the slave trade. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to ask his Right lion. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home De partment what were the intentions of the Government on the subject of the law relating to Parochial As sessinent ; and whether they determined merely on renewing the present enactment, or whether they meant to introduce a general measure for the settle went of the whole question ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, that he had already stated to 'the House that he had formed a decided opinion that the whole subject of the law of voting would be very speedily brought under the consideration of Par liament. lie had not thought it expedient to connect that question with the discussion of the Poor-law Amendment Act, which was a subject sufficiently ex tensive and difficult in itself. It was his intention to. propose to Parliament a continuation of the present law upon the subject of rating, although for a limited, time. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 25.

CAPTAIN WARNER'S INVENTION. RAILWAY TR,AVELLING. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to ask his Right Hon. Friend, the Vice-President , of the Board of Trade, whether it was the intention of the Government to take any steps for the purpose of recommend ing the Directors of Railway Companies to dis continue the practice of locking up rail way carriages ? lie wished to know whether, if any such recommendation had been made, the Directors of Railway Companies had expressed them selves willing to yield to the public wish on the point, and especially whether such a willingness was mani fested by one • Company which had hitherto shown itself the most determined in adhering to the present practice ? r. GLADSTONE said that it was not until very recently that the authorities at the Board of Trade had felt it necessary to interfere upon the subject to which his Right lion. Friend had called his attention. There was no general rule among Railway Com panies in this country that the carriages should be locked ; and it vas only since the accident which had occurred_ in France, that a recommendation had . been made to the Dimctors of the Great Western Railway Company upon the matter, and that recommendation was now under' their consideration. Ile had every reason to believe that- there existed no disposition, on the part of that or other Companies, to adhere to the existing practice, and he trusted they would be ready to defer to the w i::hes-of the public upon the subject. Mr. DUNCOMdE said the Right Honourable Baronet need not be under the slightest apprehension that his Hon. Friends behind him would not support the continuation of this heavy duty, because the real reason why it was maintained was because it was a sop to the agricultural interest.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. 0. GORE said, the object of maintaining the duty was to support an industrious class of labourers, who kept a Cow, to assist them in supporting their families. It would be cruel to them not to maintain the prohibition. Mr. C. BULLER said. he hoped the country would recollect that when Hon. Members on that side of the House proposed a relaxation of the duties, Hon. Mem bers opposite admitted that the present duty could not always be upheld, and . stated that they would make a a further reduction hereafter.—(Hear, hear.) The Go vernment had learned much since they were last in office. and the longer they went on the more likely they seemed to adopt the excellent principles of free trade. With re • spent to this article, cheese, next to bread it was the great necessary of the poorer classes. The Right Hon. Gentleman said, he would consider the propriety of re ducing more duties ; he had shown that he had underrated the revenue fo be derived from the Income-tax ; then lot him reduce the dutie: , on the necessaries of life, not on timber.—(Hear, hear.; The people did not eat that ; they were not reduced ti that yet.—(Laughter.) The quantity of cheese importe;i from the United States might be increased ; so that the Right Hon. Baronet's argument, which had some force with regard to butter, had none with regard to cheese. COLVILLE said there was no class so meanl3 protected as the cheese farmers. Under these circum stances he should vote against the proposition of tht Noble Lord opposite. Mr. WARD said the Hon. Gentleman who had jar,, sat down had made out an admirable case on behalf o. the Derbyshire farmers ; but were the producers of Derbyshire to be put in competition with the whole peo ple ? He thought the proposition of the Noble Lord wag called ti,r by the circumstances of the case ; he 6elievet . it would be of g►reat service to the working population o. this country, and as such he should give it his support. Dr. BOWLING said he thought the proposed plan. with regard to foreign butter, would raise the price 2d. per lb. Butter was an article which constituted one o: the greatest luxuries of the people. Would not tht Right Hon. Baronet consider the interest of the poor consumers, who constituted the multitude, rather than that of the producers, who were the few ? In leaving the duty upon butter and cheeSe as heavy as it was be fore, a very unfavourable opinion of the tariff had been raised throughout the country. Lord J. RUSSELL entirely agreed with the propo sition of the Noble Lord the Member for Sunderland. Mr. HUME said that at a time when the sustenance of the people was so extremely dear, when the people wen in a state of starvation, it appeared to him very cruel to raise so large an amount of revenue as 400,0001. from articles which were necessaries of life to the poor. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against the amendment ll5 Majority against the amendment 56 On the item cheese being proposed, Sir P. EGERTON said he did not think the amount of the differential duty was sufficient, and he felt that he spoke the sentiments of the chief producers of the country. In fact, great alarm existed that American cheese should be brought through the Canadas into this market as colonial produce. If the differential duty were made a duty of 55., the amount would be equal to 10s. 64.. and would increase it from 2s. 64._ Mr. LABOUCHERE was surprised at the course pur- . sued by the Government with regard to cheese. The consumer was interested in it more than he was inte rested in butter. He thought their conduct with regard to cheese was clearly inconsistent, and' he thought that the Right Hon. Baronet yielded to local influences. Sir R. PEEL said the Goveinnient had come to this conclusion with regard to this clause as they had to all other articles in the tariff, without any reference to poli tical feelings. Whether the proposition were right or wrong it was not made for any political or local reasons. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he received the state ment of the Right Hon. Baronet with perfect confidence. Mr. GLAI)STONE corroborated the statement of the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel). After a few words from Mr. TATTON EGERTON, Mr. M. PHILIPS said that cheese was an article of such importance to the working classes, that he should not think he would be doing his duty if he did not express his opinion in favour of a reduction on cheese. There would be a tendency to deteriorate• the taste of the public for cheese of the best quality. He moved that instead of maintaining the duty at 10s. 6d., it be reduced to 7s. 6d. After a few words from Captain EGERTON, Mr. HUME said if they expected the United States fairly to admit our manufactures, they must not, as they were now doing, do all in their power to keep out theirs : on the contrary, they ought to admit them at the lowest possible terms, and they would then admit our manufactures in return. At the present moment they might be watching what we were doing. The en deavouring to keep out American produce was the very . worst thing we .could do. Mr. COBDEN wished to remind the House that the importation of cheese from America had constantly de creased during the last few years ; the importation from Europe also had considerably decreased. The falling off in the price of agricultural produce was, he thought, to be attributed solely to the poverty of the consumers. He was of opinion that they should give every facility to the admission of every article that could come in from America. Mr. WAKLEY said no doubt the Right Hon. Gentle man, the First Lord of the Treasury, had laid hold of the monster monopoly, and had given him a most ter rible sh a k e ; b ut h e was a l w ays returning to the charge. Last night they had him from Kent ; to-night they had him from Cheshire. Where it was to end he did not k now . Wh at a shame i t was to h ear Hon. Members doing all they could to keep the people from food—what a pity it was they could not cat timber. — (Laughter.) They said they must protect the farmer. Protect the farmer ! Pooh ! It was not for the farmer they oared. They were looking out to keep up their rents, and that wa.; all they cared for.—{Hear,) He was con vinced that the proposed tariff would give no substantial relief to the people. lie believed that the agriculturists, if allowed to carry out their . views, would - plunge tho country into confusion. Mr. ]YARD said tha t if th e House would not do jus the People w ou ld d o j ustice to themselves. tice to the people , After a few words from Mr. COLVILLE and Mr. JERVIS, Mr. BARING supported the reduction of the duty. Sir R. PEEL hoped the House would be disposed to consider the tariff as a whole, and bear in mind a ll i ts difficulty, instead of trying to put him in a minority on any particular item. He really thought the wisest course would be to allow him to finish the tariff th at night.—(Great laughter.) Sir J. GUEST moved that the duty should be reduced to 55. instead of 7s. 6d. Sir ROBERT PEEL would consent to the withdrawal of the proposition for a duty of 7s. 6d., and take the divi sion on the proposition fur a ss. duty, so as to have but one division. Mr. J. JERVIS explained. Zar. MARX PHILIPS would not withdraw his propo -- Mr. ESCOTT denied that the farmers of this country were desirous of keeping up the price of potatoes. No good farmer wished to grow more potatoes than he could (Ise in his own establishment ; and though the Hon. Aember for Essex had come there to illuminate the Treasury benches, he could tell him that there were farmers who could very considerably illuminate him upon the subject. Mr. BECKETT DENISON said, though he and his colleague represented, perhaps, a larger portion of potatoe-growing country than any two Members of that House, he could not feel justified in voting with the Bon. Member for Essex. He considered that the proposition s\ as one which would tend to alleviate the burdens of the working classes, and he should, therefore, vote with her Majesty's Government.—(Hear.) Mr. PALMER withdrew' his opposition, and the Hon. Gentleman's proposition was acceded to. A variety of other articles were agreed to without .alteration. The items down to that of onions, exclusive, were agreed to. On onions bring proposed, Mr. HOUND said he thought this was another case in %% inch the home grower had been roughly dealt with. He did not think the amount of duty was 6utlicient pro tection. He would -say that what the growers waisted •vas protection, but not prohibition. After a few words from Mr. IVARD and Dr. BowEING, Mr. GLAI)STONE said, that althoug►h the finest onion seed was produced in Spain and Portugal, the English grower had nothing whatever to fear from foreign competition. 'The item was then agreed to, as were the remaining items in the schedule of seeds. The next schedule was that enumerating the different kinds of woods. These were agreed to. The schedule containing ores and minerals was then proposed. Sir CHARLES LEMON wished this schedule to be postponed for a few days, as an important meeting had been held in Cornwall, and a deputation sent to London On the subject, which would arrive to-morrow with a petition. Sir R. PEEL did not think it desirable that it should be postponed, more especially as there would be another opportunity of making any change in the Bill. The items to copper ore were agreed to. On copper ore being proposed, Mr. EJRNER moved as an amendment that the words " containing not more than ten parts of copper per ton of metal" be omitted. He felt convinced that this was a measure in Which the interests of Cornwall were deeply concerned. This mode of raising the duty was not only injurious to the mining interests generally, but it was highly injurious to the revenue. Mr. GLADSTONE said that the Hon. Gentleman's motion would affect but a very small portion of the question. It would, in fact, only affect a class of ores which, up to the present time, had scarcely come into this country. The effect of the motion would be altoge ther trifling, but even so, it was not expedient to adopt it. It was expedient to encourage the introduction into this country of low ores. It was desirable that an induce ment should be held out to foreign countries to import their ores into this country, in the working of which Englishmen so much excelled. Machine making was a manufacture peculiarly adapted to the genius of this country, and nothing would be more beneficial to that manufacture than the introduction of ores. _ Sir CHAS. LEMON said if they raised the duty too high with regard to the rich ores, they would run the risk of compelling them to go elsewhere to have the ore smelted; but there was no danger in that respect with regard to the poor ores. The effect of the present scale would be to take out of their hands the power of selling the ore. Lord ELIOT believed that the proposition of the Government on this subject was calculated to be most beneficial to his constituents, and he should therefore give it his support. Mr. LABO COHERE rejoiced to see that it was the determination of her Majesty's Government to put this trade upon a more fair and equitable footing. Mr. CHARLES BULLER would cordially support the proposition of the Government, although he thought it might produce some prejudicial effects on the miners in Cornwall, for it should be remembered that private interests ought to give way to public good. Aiter a desultory discussion the Committee divided, and the numbers were:— For the amendment Against the amendment . 153 Majority against the amendment —l5l On the item bar iron being proposed, Mr. HU ME said, he was much disappointed to find that the duty on this article had not been entirely abo lished. He hoped the Government would reconsider this subject; iltr. PARKER said that he had been in that House many years, and scarcely a year had passed but his cell stituents had memorialised the Board of Trade fur the repeal of this duty, but without success. Sir R. PEEL was happy y to inform the Hon. Gentle. man that the Board of 'Trade had couseuttd to reduce the duty one-third.—(Laughter.) Mr. VILLIERS thought this was one of the most un warranted and wanton attempts to cling to protection he had ever seen, and he should therefore oppose it. Mr. M. PHILIPS thought this duty should be done away with, because he did nut think any interest was pro tected by it. After a few words from Mr. FOSTER the other items with respect to iron were agreed to. Several other items being then agreed to, Dr. BOWRING proposed the Chairman shoukl report progress, and ask leave to sit again. The question was put and negatived without a division. Sir ROI3ERT PEEL said he would name to-morrow, and take his chalice of being then able to proceed with the tariff. The Chairman then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. The Report on the Customs Bill was then brought up by Mr. Gite.ENE. The other lOrders were then disposed of, and the House adjour dat a Quarter to One o'Clock.

PEEL, the House re solved itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Customs Act. Several items were agreed to without change. On the resolution relative to the duty on bacon and ham, being read, - Mr. MILES said he wished to direct the attention of the House to the effect of a differential duty upon ham between the colonies and the United States. They might look for a great importation 'of salt meat from the United States, and in that case, coming by New Orleans, the freight would be Is. 6d. and the duty Bs. per cwt., making altogether 9s. 6d.; if the Ameri can, however wished to import it through the Canadas, the freight would be 4s. Id. and the duty 2s. 6d. making altogether Cs. 7d. per cwt. In the case of bacon and hams, .the duty, if taken directly from America, would be 145.; if from the Canadas • only 3s. 6d. ; the same freight would be applicable wh - ether taken .by the river to New Orleans or down Lake Erie. So a hundred weight of hams, if sent to New Orleans, would pay ls. 6d. freight and 14s. duty, altogether 15s. 6d. If, however, sent through the canal and -by Lake Erie, it would be 4s. freight and 3s. 6d. duty, making altogether 7s. 6d., so there would he a difference of Bs. in favour of transporting through the Canadas rather than by the natural channel. He had risen just to submit this to the House; he thought it worthy the attention of the Right Hun. Baronet as relating to the subject of differential duties. Sir It. PEEL said, that of the two doctrines an nounced by . the Noble , Lprd opposite (Lord Howick) and by an lion. Gentleman last night, the one, o f imposing no new differential duties on the produc tions of the Colonies when imported into this coun try, the other, of p l a c i ng the Colonies in this respect on a footing with the rest of the empire, as if an inte gral portion of it, he certainly preferred the latter. Mr. LAI3OUCTIERE said that there was a com mercial body in Canada, as well as an agriculturalri one, whose interests ought to be attended to considered the baon which was bestowed would be diminished, if , the,Government refused to .allow the importation of provisions across the borders into Canada from America. Provisions might then come into this country at a lower rate, and it would have a tendency to increase - the commercial relations between both countries. Mr. GI. A.DSTONE did not think the proposed I duty could facilitate fraud by the importation ofAme rican produce through the Colonies. After a few words from Mr. S. WORTLEY, Lord HOWICK thought her Majesty's Govern ment ought to extend the principle, and impose a duty on all bacon introduced into .Canada from the United States of America. If they adopted the principle of differential duties, they must throw a difficulty in the way of inter course, between the United States and Canada, or they must by a complex system introduce what was really United States' bacon under cover of being Canadian bacon, at a lower rate of duty than if it came by its natural channel. Instead of fixing a duty, as now proposed, of 14s. on the bacon of foreign countries, and as. 6d. on that of the colonies, he would ask whether it would not be more reasonable to adopt tClower.atid intorraediate rate . ofiduty, which would be appli- cable to all bacon ? He did not wish to go back to the discussion of the general question of differential duties, but he must say that he believed it to be im possible to place our colonies on the same footing as English counties. To propose any was to propose the same rate of duty upon all articles, come from what country they would, and not give the colo nies any advantages by a false principle of differential duties.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was then agreed to. On the resolution for imposing a duty upon butter and cheese being proposed, Lord J. RUSSELL said, he wished to ask why the duties on butter and cheese had been maintained exactly as they were.. It was desirable that the principle announced by the Right Hon. Gentleman, by which the Customs Duties were to be reformed, should be applied to those articles. Mr. GLADSTONE said that it was necessary that those duties should continue permanent under present circumstances. In the first place they brought in a considerable amount of revenue, and, secondly, although they were high, they admitted of very con siderable relief by allowing of large importation. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought that it would have been much better for the Government to have made up their minds as to what alterations they would make in all the protective duties. The Right Hon. Gentle man said that, in those articles, a considerable amount of revenue was in jeopardy. Now, it was quite plain that, from the increased consumption pro duced by the lessening of the duty, the revenue would suffer little or nothing. On all grounds, it was to be regretted that Government had not made up their minds as to what was the course which it was j usti • fiable to pursue towards all interests. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it would have been better to have adopted at once a more enlarged and liberal system in our tariff. The 'CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government system embraced all the main articles of consumption. Lord HOWICK said that the argument of the Right Hon. Gentleman as to the necessity of keeping up the revenue was conclusive that they were not adopting a system which would give relief. The revenue would suffer to the whole extent, as though relief were given to the consumer. If they were to make a re duction at all, it ought to be such a reduction as would afford relief to the consumer. He should, therefore, move, that the duty on butter from foreign countries be 10s. instead of ll.—(Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL said, he was surprised that the Noble Lord did not carry out his own principle, and propose that there should be no discriminating duty between colonial and foreign butter.—(llear, hear.) This was a question involving 400,0001. of duty, and the Noble Lord said, that if the Go vernment were making experiments in reducing the revenue, they (the Opposition) ought to have a hand in it.—(Laughter.) That was a perfectly legi timate course of proceeding ; but the Government had as great a defalcation in the revenue as the finances would bear. The Noble Lord said they were about to obtain four millions by the Income-tax. Before he made any further reduction in the revenue he (Sir Robert Peel) would like to see it. When they got four millions and a half, or five millions, then let them consider further reductions, but when he brought forward the additional estimates, it would be found that he had not overrated the financial de mands of the country. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING-, MAY 26, 1842. sition for the sake of procuring a stray vote or two. lie thought the duty of is. Q.-more likely to be carried than the proposition for a duty of 55., and should press his mo tion to a division. The CHAIRMAN said that the division must be taken on the proposition for the smaller duty first. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. Durin,, ,, our absence from the gallery we understood that Sir J. Guest's motion was put and negatived without a division. The Committee then divided upon Mr. Mark Philips' amendment, when there appeared— Ayes 37 Noes Majority against the amendment —4s The articles, eggs, hams, larA, pork salted (not hams), sago preserved fruits, and tapioca, were agr. ed to without discussion. Mr. G. PALMER moved the resolution of which he had given notice :—" That it is not expedient to alter the rate of duties upon foreign vegetables, as propoed in the tariff ; and that it would be unjust, in point of principle, to take away the protection from that species of British produce, whilst other interests remain protec ted." On the particular article of unions he proposed that the duty should be Is. 6d. Mr. G LADSTONE opposed the amendment. The Government reduced the duty, because before it was enormous. The lion. Member proposed to increase it to 70 per cent. lie trusted that the House would rtjeet the amendment. Mr. WAKLEY thought the persons represented by the Hon. Member for Essex would suffer, and it was to be deeply regretted; but were they therefore to neglect to carry out good principles? He deprecated the atten tion to particular interests by Hon. Gentlemen. Thus the Members for Cheshire having gained their point, left onions to take care of themselves. The House ought to support the Government proposition. After a few words from Mr. PALMER and Mr. GLADsTosE, the motion was withdrawn, and the Government proposition agreed to without a division. On the resolution imposing a duty of 2d. the cwt. on potatoes being proposed, Mr. STUART WORTLEY begged to be informed on the subject. He understood that potatoes could be introduced very cheaply from France, but he had no knowledge on the subject himself. Mr. G. PALMER said that a duty on potatoes. was necessary for the protection of the home-grower. Ile would ask for that protection which the agricultural in terest had a right to expect would be given them by the Government ' • and he would, therefore, propose that the duty imposed on potatOes, imported into this country, should be is. per cwt., instead of 2d. Mr. GLADSTONE sail that the present was a case in which he felt perfectly convinced of the justice of the reduction proposed to the Committee. He did not think that it would operate, to any extent, in lessening the ordinary price of potatoes. Indeed, he did not think chat, in ordinary times, the customary price of potati tes could be very much lowered, by even a free trade. The great practical object of the proposed reduction, was to prevent serious inconvenience arising to the consumer, from a sudden increase of price, consequent on partial failure in growth at particular seasons. Mr. WAKLEY said, he believed there would be a very great importation of potatoes into this country ; he believed such an importation would materially lower the price of bread, and, for that reason, he considered the proposition to be an excellent one. He was not going to attempt to calm the monster monopoly by saying that there woad be no importation ; he believed there would be a very large importation, and for that reason he should support the proposition. Protect the potato-growers, said the Hon. Member for Essex ; protect the people, said he (Mr. Wakley). He was glad to see such a proposition from the Government ; it was a very different thing AVM the cry of " No surrender," and rounds of Ken tish fire. Mr. AINSWORTH congratulated Hon. Gentleman opposite upon the tariff as a whole, and this part of it in particular ; he was sure it would be of the greatest 6ervice to the public, arid he hoped it would be carried. Mr. S. WORTLEY said that the Hon. Member fir Finsbury had misunderstood what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of the Board of Trade. The Right Hon. Gentleman did not say that there would be no importation of potatoes ; what he said was that there would be no such great importation as would at all injure the property of the potato-growers of England. . . . - - PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS (From the Votes and Proceedtngse the House of Commons. ) TUESDAY, MAY 24.

It appeared that the plaintiff was recounnended by a person called the Count de Labat, friend and adherent of the family and fortunes of the Duke, as one capable of giving the best instruction. The lady had made the greatest progress, and was a skilful musician ; but v, hen payment was de manded, promises had been made that when the Duke's rights were established in France, the claim would be satisfied. The plaintiff, however, declined to postpone his claim till those rights were settled, for it would ap pear that the Royal Family of France were. very stow in recognising them ; and it was to recover coti►pensa tion for the services tie performed for the defendant that the action was brought.. Eugenio Negri, son of the plaintiff ; proved that the Count de Labat came to his father's residence in Re gent-street in 1839, and engaged his father, Mr. Cusson, a surgeon-dentist residing in Percy-street, .was next examined.—He knew the Duke of Normandy, very unfortunately. Ile lived in Cateberwell-green ; had different houses at present. Witness's family had been in the habit of visiting th. , re. Saw Signor Negri instructing the Duke's daughter at (:amberwell, about halt• a dozen times in 18::;9. Had no conversation with 11,is Royal Highness on the suljeet of the engagement of Negri. A young and extremely graceful lady, who stated her name to be Amelia, Print ess of Bourbon, was next audned by Mr. MILLAR :—I am daughter of the Duke. of Normandy ; am acquainted with Signor Negri ; he his .been in the habit of giving me instructions in music for some time ; he was brought to me by the Count de Lab.tt ; Signor Negri first instructed me in May, 1839. used to come twice a week, but I was soinetlWQS delicat e, and he did not come then. He was instructing me about two years and ten months. My father did not live w►th us at that time. Ho was elsewhere. He used to come every Sunday. We Were • ti , en living with our friends., who were adherents to our family and cause. When 1 came to this country, I expressed a desire to my father to receive 'instructions in music, but he did not comply with my wi-sh ; he did not know that Signor Negri was attending me till a month after it came ; he was satisfied that, he should conic to me whet► he knew it alas not to be at his ex pense ; Signor Negr► em pn , ,etattl tiiins...ll as a friend to our house, and my lather told him that. he would be well reiv anted Iv hen he ()lustily d his rights. My lather made experiments of projectitea at Woolwich, Des not recollect my father saying that if the experi ments succeeded he -hotthl pay Signor Negri. - Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES.—My father has seven children. The Count, he Labia ►s about forty-five years of age. lie is attached to my father and his cause. He expended a large foittme in my father's cause, and gave up a magistracy in France. Signor Negri, the plaintiff, said he was v4•ry poor ; solicited money from us at times. The Count de Labatt was often present a hen he was instructing me ; he, lived in the house with us ;he .was our guardian. • Signor 'Vitali Albera gave his evidence through a French interpreter. He resided in the Duke's house for a year and a half. Made a demand on him for Signor Negri. The Duke said he did not owe anything, but when he was in a position to pay he would remanerate the plaintiff. Does not know that the Duke promised plaintiff that he would pay Min if the experiments at Woolwich succeeded. Witness told the plaintiff so from parish officers. Mr HUMPHREY, on the part of the plaintiff, here in timated that he could not. carry the case any farther, so that the plaintiff was nun-suited. Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Millar appeared fur the plain tiff; and Mr. James for the defendant. :! t'~,~c present. A conversation here ensued between Mr. Clarkson and M r ' Phillips re pecting the prisoner's funds. Mr. Clarkson stating that the executors had laid a distringas upon all his proPertY' l and he had not sufficient money to conduct hi's defense 10 proper manner. the Mr. JAKIANE declined to mak , any ordersrespeetuf a id property, as he said it was out of his ju r isdiction.' He ""' now remand the prisoner fur a week, to give time for the ma . pletion of the second case. leLlioß rcH-sT REF, r. Yesterday a messenger fr o m th e M e ndi c ity Society: wok' to Mr. Maltby, and made the following communication. relative h the case tit Theophilus William Currie, who was charg ed Court on Tuesday with having twice att e mped to commit ' f tide. A lull report of the particulars appeared in The Sun yesterday, which, it seems, had drawn the attention of the 6 ciety's officers to the subject. • '` l o the The additional facts ascertained are as follow :--• am unto of last year, the individual in ttue , tion came under t he Society's notice from his having been fiend by one of s era' constables in a state of destitution ; on that . sins he gave a s:.m-what sitniar account of hl; self; his case' was then thoroughly investigated, and ` , ti statement lit was mailly f :und. to be correct. It was. bow' s ht also established that tits distressed condition had been hre t t, on solely by the dissolute course of life to whi c h he• hid *f cloned himself, viz. by a fondness for loose company; and of , e • treme indulgence iu habitual intoxication ; it likewise al'r ing that on the receipt of any remittance from his relan,, however considerable the amount, it was invariably and re 00, lessly squandered. Five communications, ail. dated Aug o f 1841, which had come into the possession of the SocielP hit the folluwing import, were handed over to Mr. Maltby be perusal. 07:e was from Mr. Richard L. Scholefield, the . P r o prietor of a school at Brighton, offering him a situatioo, to teacher, lot which it appears no attention was 'w a ler in time, and the vacancy was consluently filled up. ile r ' t . . was from Mt. Norton, of Braintree, in whose academy ther, tier retained for several mooths.t he situation of classical , t o %; it was in answer to an application orn the Society; anddese r ,_ Curie as possessing very considerable talents, but thit it°l4o tellects were becoming impaired by his drunken latiits. . 00 dismissal from his em; loyment Jesuled from his dissipat' alone. The remainder were to the Society from his broth' ; at Runge), where he is living in very great respect and esfe e . ° /: they contained each a Post-office money-order for his re It It also appears that, in a very short space of time, he had ceived from the same source, in. different sums, the airmen t ig 1001. and upwards, but without its being of the slightest ben s to him. Mt.. MALTBY said. that as at present Currie was. in Martin's workhouse, he would remain there until it was dets . mined what should be done with him. U/V/0,‘•11 AL Two boys, the eldest only.twelve years of age, were chare i ' under the following circumstances A policeman stated that he saw the boys sitting on the step) of a door at a late hour on the preceding night, and..oo 11 01 tioning them, their account was, that they were orphans , gy . that they sold Lucifer matches to keep them from sfer ri t ".; that they usually slept in the shambles of the Borough ma i r '',,,• having nowhere else to go. When brought before the 10 „ , ; trate their statements were different, for tlfey admitted t". l parents .were alive, and that they sent them from home O t ` t e morning, and unless they brought home money, no r° l .r which way they got it, they were severely beaten, and to vent this, when they got none, they stopped out all night. The father of one of the unfortunate children being Pre'Lst the Magistrate severely reprehended his scandalous earhs its acting in the manner describ e d, an d on ly regre tted that had not the power of punishing such delinquency: The boys were then discharged, after an admonition. IVAADSWOIiTH POLICE. i t Tuesday, the Rev. Mr. Stephen Aldbouse, l e cturer p Allhallows church, in the City, was brought up on a by Police-constable, New, 1.i6 V, and charged before 40 Clivo with deserting his wife and ehildren, and letty.og chargeable to the larish of Clapham. b el William Tultman, relieving overseer of the rer",fei Clapham, stated, that on Thursday last 'the defendant' to o Elizabeth, came to him, and represented th a t she and her s° It r ch.ldien Ilan been lett de s titute by h e r husband, th e 4 0 d tr g Heypade inquiries into her case, ascertained that Shf - 0 0 d destitute, and gave her 2s.

She had left him two tears o° ol months, in consegueoce of his ill-usage of her. He bad W e i her once or twice, arid in apprehension of his doing her Tti , o r serious injury she left him. Latterly he had neglected to 'Of port her, and she w,s obliged to apply to the parish office r ' relief for herself and two children.

CHARGE or EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST NICHOLAS Suissx.—This individual, who, it will be recollected, was remanded pending some investigations going f 'sward at Milan, was on Tuesday brought before Mr. Jardine for further examination. Alesssrs. Phillips and Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and Messrs. Clark-on and James the defence. Mr. Phillips said he would Inns proceed to give all the evi dence in his power in the charge in question, for which pur pose he called Air. Walker, who said he was clerk to Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., bankers. He produced the bank bo-k in which was entered 2 01)01., paid in to acc-mot of Mr. l'hoinat Gra ham, by himself, on the 311 of February last; one note is for btai/. No. 8,936 ; two for 3001., Nos. 54,370 and 41,:305 ; an other for 2001., No. 17,202; ant seven notes for 10W. each. ilumbered, tiJ,O7 4, 76,742, 94,343, 95,70. &e. Mr. Bra ant was in the firm of Capron and Cu., solicitors to the er &tors of the late ‘iarquis of Herit' rd. Ihe prisoner came to the office of the firm oil he 4th of April, and witness called his attention to the fact of his (the prisoner's) having remitted, between the ht and 9th of Febtuary, the eum of 9,2001. in two cheques. Witness then asked him how it had been applied, and he replied that he took the amount credited in his book for the current expenses, and gave the rest into his Lordship's hands. The book now produced was the one allmied to. Ibe prisoner hats giv, n credit' fir the sum of 2:351. on the 9th February, and that was the only sum ei,tered between the Ist and the 9th. By Mr. Clarkson—The prisoner came to the office on his own account. Witness was acquainted with the deceased Mar. quis. Had reason to know that.Suisse was in his entire coriti dence. Knows that the prisoner was vritru-ted with sums of money to dispense by the i\larquis. Was acquainted with the Marquis's will. Mr. Clarkson then asked the witness, if he was aware of the contents of the codicils ? Mr. Jaantszt: said, if such questions were asked it would be necessary to ermine the witne,ses again. Mr. larkson said, he thought that all the clorges which wets intended to be brought against the prisoner ought to be made known on the prescnt occasion. Mr. Janni NE said he lvd. nothing t.,! do with anything but the case before him ; he could not call upon the prosecutors to pro duce an evidence except, what was sulticieut to commit the prisoner for trial. Mr. Brabaiit's cross-examination continued—There was no other account-book of the prisoner's that he was aware of. Knew that there was a great number of paid b,ll , in the session of the executors, which nut not appear in the hook ; he believed they were paid by the prisoner, and he (wit,ess) ought to state that when pressed for au account of this 9,0001., the prisoner said the bills wouid account for a great part of it. Witness could also state that the book did nut contain any thing like an account of the disbursements of the prisoner on his master's account. The bills he mentioned are merely of tradesmen's accounts. Re-examined—After reckoning all the bills, there remained 2.0001. unaccounted for. Inspector Partridge examined—Sa:d he took the prisoner into custody on the 4th of April. Found in his room an 10 U for 1,8001., a second fii 2501., and a third for 501. He also found a receipt for 3,000 f. Mr. Blenkinsop, clerk in the house of Messrs. Coutts and Co., deposed, that cn the 7th of February he paid a cheque for 3,5001. to the prisoner. Amongst the no:es were numbers 96,702, 96,703, 96,704, 96,705, for 100/. each. • Mr. Itabhett, another cleek at Coutts and Co.'s, deposed that on the 7th of February the prisoner paid in 4001. to the account of 31ailame Suisse The flutes were the same numbers mentioned by the last witness. Mr. Bodkin said this was all the evidence on the first charge. Mr. JAaDINE said, as this case now stood, his' impression was to commit the prisoner for trial Air. Bodkin said there was another charge relating to the stealing of 5i3 inscriptions for the amount of npvt ardsof 80,0001 , payable to bearer entitling the holder to the p.iyment of the arno mt. Si. Caillisz had proved that he received from the prisoner six inscriptions, forming part of the 58 ; he received them from the prisoner shortly after the death of the Mar quis, arid they amounted to 30,0001. With respect to the other fifty-two he was in a condition to prove that Mon ' sieur Cailliez received from the prisoner the coupons, relating to the inscription ; it was, however, necessary to show first, that they ware the property of the la-e Marquis, When 31. Cailliez was examined he said that he took no notice of the numb: es of the cow, - oris. but he had put them into the possession 01 Cadliez and De Back, the bankers, - and it would be thetefure necessary to c.:11 some one from them to prove the numbers. It. had been discovered on inquiry that it, was not permitted to remove the coupons from the bank. He (Jr. Bodkin) woul i now proceed to prove the purchase of the inscriptions by the tate Marquis. Mr. Fredetick Vande;:brock he is a clerk to Mr. Adolphus D'Etchtal. a banker in Paris. lie produces tie late Marquis's receipt for nine inscriptions for the annual vim of 8,500 francs French rentes. They were purchased on the 3d of April, 1839. He knows of the purchase of six others for the amount of 30,000 francs French rentes annually, which he believes were sent to Milan on the Marquis's acnount. 31r.

Mr. Lee was one of the original establishers and proprietors of the Rockingham, thirty-four years ago, in cor.junctio, with the late I). Sykes and J. C. Parker, Esirs., and with Mr. Spence and other gentle men' whose names are still ch er i s h e d by their fellow-townsmen , and he soon after that time assumed its editorial management, which he continued to exercise almost to the time of his death. Mr. Lee upheld the cause of R e f orm w h en R e f orm was but another word for so iition. and the columns of the Psochingham contain record of the unflinching, consistent, and, at the same time, temperate way in which be discharged his honourable dutia,-gull liocAifighom. LAW INTEL! IGENCE. i,.•LLS . CI! BATHYANY e. THE EARL OF CHESTEitrIELD, Lord LANGDALE was engaged, throughout ti,i4 day, in hear ing the arguments in this cause. His Lordshi„; sat in his Chamber, Ahich was not open to the public. COURT OF QUEEN BEACH, May 25. MANDAMUS. - BECKWITH V. THE TOWN COUNCIL OF NORWICH. A rule for a mandamus had been granted by the Court to compel the payment of an amount of compertsation awarded bi the Lords of the Treasury to thy pl ho was Town-clerk of Norwich. He was, together with his office of Town-clerk, employed in the capacity of solicitor to the Charities, arid visitor .to Lunatic Houses, in the town of Noiwich. In It3:f6 he was ranoved from the office, and be then sent in a claim to the Town Council fir compensation, and they aired 3651. a-year. The plaintiff w.is dissatisfied with this, and the case was beard before the Lords of the Treasury on appeal, acd they decided that the plaintiff was entitled to compensation to the amount of .169/. a-year. The Soucirom-GcNattAL, with whom wa , Mr. Watson, opposed the rule on the part of the Towo Council.. Although the plaintiff had been deprived of his oak, a own-clerk. the parties . ohu had since been appointed trus.ce: t he Charities had eta; loyed the plaintiff, in his private ca;-a .'ty as a soli citor, to conduct the legal business of the Clc.rit ies. He was not, therefore, entitles to compeination, inasmuch as he had sustained no actual loss, although be had 1 - ,,eu ientived his office. Ti.e ATTOILNEY •GENEItAL, in reply, c.mtentled that the rule shuitld u, made ai - i , oltite, a, the employment of the plain tiff in his private capacity, as a solicitor, might determine at a day's notice. Thi, was not a question as to whether coin fentation ought to be awarded, as that had ileen decided ; the unity question was one of amount. The fact of the plaintiff having been employed in the same office in his private capacity of solicitor, might be a consideration in awarding the amount of compensation ; but their Lordships had no reasosi to suppose that the consideration had not been entered into by the Lords of the Treasury, in awarding the sum of 496/. t-year. Air. F. KELLY appeared on the same side, and supported the rule. _ _ Their LORDSHIPS held that this case was precisely the same as the 13ricigewater ea,e. The question was altogether a matter of amount, and 6e Court had therefore nu control over it; but it was entirely a • matter for the consideration of the Lords of the Treasury.—Rule made absolute. COUI.7' OF EXCHEQUER, May 25. The Court was occupied, during the morning, in hearing some uoirnportant cases, of a purely technical character. BAIL COURT, May 25. NEGRI V. THE DUKE OF NORMANDY.
