Staffordshire Wilts and Somerset Wimbledon &Croyan ILEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE TFTEr (From the .Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.) The Registrar-General's report states that the Population of London has been returned by the local of f icers at 2,803,034 ; and this number will appear Provisionally in the weekly table until the exact numbers are determined at the Census-office. The Population on the same area in 1851 was 2,362,236, and the increase therefore is 440,798. The new comers are nearly equal in number to the total in habitants of any of the largest cities in Europe, ex cept Paris and St. Petersburg. The rate of increase was a little less than 19 per cent. in the interval between' the two censuses, and it was precisely 1 8 . 66 in ten years, or 1 . 72 per cent. annually. The same rate of correction as was employed pre viously to the last census is still applicable. In the week that ended last Saturday the number of deaths registered in London was 1,101, showing a small increase on that of the previous week, when a con siderable reduction was obtained. The average number of deaths, as derived from the retarns of the Weeks corresponding with last week in the ten years 1 851-60, and corrected for increase of population, by adding a tenth part, is 1,093. Hence it appears that the rate of mortality that prevailed last week dif fered but slightly from that obtained by calculation. The mortality from hooping-cough now exhibits a decrease. The fatal cases of this disease, which were above 90 in each of the previous weeks, were last week 72. The deaths from croup were numer ous ; for while the corrected average is only eight, 20 children died from it in th e week. Diarrhcea does not show any increase, but three children are returned as having died from summer cholera. Eight infants died from syphilitic disease ; and besides three deaths from delirium tremens, four were re ferred to intemperance. Three infants were mur dered. A man died from morphia taken medicinally. The widow of a butler died at 38, Dorset-street, Marylebone, at the age of 101 years , as " attested by the family Bible." A shoemaker, aged 54 years, Vas choked by food. Last week the births of 963 boys and 884 girls, in all 1,847 children, were registered in London. la the teu corresponding weeks of the years 1851- 6 0 the average number was 1,594. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 822 in. The barometrical readings rose from 29.70 in. on Sunday, to 29.91 in. ou Tuesday. The thermometer in the shade fell to 46 . 5 deg. on Sunday, and rose tto 66.8 deg. on Wednesday, being respectively the lowest and highest readings in the week. The ineaet temperature of the air was 53.3 deg., which is 3.7 Leg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average throughout the week. The extreme range of the thermometer was 20.3 deg. The mean daily range was 13 . 6. deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 5 . 4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air Was 83, complete saturatien being represented by 100. The wind blew generally from the north and north-east. The rain-fall was 0 . 34 in., most of 'which was measured on S un d a y and Tuesay. The thermometer in the sun rose to 110 deg. on Wed- Ilesday. The mean temperature of the water of the Tham es was 61.3 deg. Thunder was heard fre quently during the morning and afternoon of Wed nesday. --- STRANGE CASE OF DESERTION IN HIGH LIFE. r. Monday morning, about 2 o'c lock, p olice -constable while on duty near the gate of 37, Grove-end-road, St " John's-wood, was attracted by hearing faint cries ra rolbling that of a very young infant, and discovered a fine male child lying in the roadside, carefully wrapped in clothes of a fine texture and crying lustily. He at once rem oved the deserted little creature to St, Narylebone . o rkhouse, where it is doing well It appears to be about o ne month old, was wrapped in a white bedgown, an elabo rate hood, and a blue shawl, and, judging from the fineness of the texture and workmanship of the clothing, but little do ubt exists that its mother must be in a position of '4.-uuttence. stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 10{ 10 stock stock stock 2s. 6d. 12i 12i stock 6 stoe, 1.0.6 all 1100 100 100 100 all all THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY (WEN BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

(Before' the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices of Appeal.) THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA DAY AND ' KOSSUTI This is an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, directing the defendants to deliver up to be cancelled no less than 17 tons of engraved bank notes, pur porting to be notes of the State of Hungary, and al so re • straining them by perpetual injunction from farther manu facturing such notes of this pattern. The Lord Chancellor, with concurrence of Lord Justice Knight Bruce, was of opinion that in the absence of all political considerations the civil right of the plaintiff was undoubted and undeniable, and therefore the decision of the Vice-Chancellor ought to be affirmed, with this variation, that the defendant had the right which all Hungarians had to use the armorial bearings of the kingdom of Hungary. His Lordship, with this variation, affirmed the decree of the Vice-Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs. Lord Justice Knight Bruce suggested that the plaintiff's waver of costs up to the hearing should appear on the minutes. Mr. R. Palmer, for the plaintiff, proposed to wave costs of the appeal, if the defendants would wave the costs of paper, ink, and pulp on which the notes were printed, and deliver them up to be dastroyed by a judge's order at chambers. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., declined, and it was arranged that the ink would be obliterated from the lithographic stones, and the notes delivered up to be annulled by order of the judge at chambers, and that the cause would come before. the Lords Justices on Monday week on minutes. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. EBBON V. NEVILLE.-THE SPINNING-HOUSE CASE. The lord Chief Justice this morning gave judgment in this case. His lordship was of opinion that the rule should be made absolute to enter the verdict for the defendant, as he thought the Vice •Chancellor of the University had the power of ordering suspected persons to be taken into cus tody. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE ESENBERG AND MYERS. These !bankrupts were described as of Skinner- street, Snow-hill, boot and shnA manufacturers, and to-day was appointed for their last examination. The balance-sheet shows debts, £3,252; liabilities, £1,836 ; property given up, £6OO ; but there are no assets in hand. Mr. Lawrance, for the bankrupt, said that Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, was of opinion that the accounts, although perhaps not entirely satisfactory, were the best which could be rendered. He (Mr. Lawrance) believed the assignees would not oppose the bankrupts passing, all questions reserved for the certificate. A clerk :from the office of Messrs. Harrison and Lewis, on the part of the assignees, said that although the ac counts were unsatisfactory they did not oppose the bank rupts passing. Mr. J. B. Sorrell, Mark-lane, who appeared for several creditors, concurred, and the bankrupts passed. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) NEW COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) THE COMMERCIAL BANK FRAUDS. John Durden and James Holcroft were indicted for stealing on the 18th of October the sum of £lB5, on the 19th of October £l5O, and on the 29th of October £B6 lls. 5d., the moneys of Mark Hunter and others, of the Commercial Bank of London. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. Giffard, Mr. Poland, and Mr. Giffard, jun., appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Besley defended burden; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Sleigh, and Mr., Orridge appeared for Holcroft. Mr. Giffard, in opening the case for the prosecution, entered at great length into circumstances which led to the apprehension of the prisoners, which have at various times appeared at length in The Sun during the examination of the prisoners at Bow-street Police -court. He said, from what he had heard since he had entered the court, that he was induced to believe that other parties not yet in custody were mixed up in the enormous frauds that had been com mitted on the bank, and his belief was further strengthened by the fact that Durden seemed very anxious to screen Holcroft, whose various speculations were still unknown to the parties prosecuting the prisoners. It is fully expected, as there are other indictinents against the prisoners, that the trial will not conclude to-day. In the Old Court Mr. Justice Crompton was engaged in hearing the evidence in the case of Seth Seymour, a farmer, who surrendered to an indictment charging him with send ing the carcases of seven di-eased sheep to the London market in a state quite unfit for human food. The case had not concluded when our report left. .P o.lleg INTEL LI G .N This Day.) MARLBOROUGH. STREET. A BATCH OF FEMALE PICKPOCKETS. CAUTION TO LADlEs.—Margaret Sullivan, Mary Mooney, and Bridget Callaghan, all well-dressed females from the east end of the town, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies while looking in shop windows in Oxford-street. Mr. Edward Davis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoners. Gordon, 336 A, proved seeing the prisoners trying the pockets of several ladies while looking in the windows of a silkmercer's in Oxford-street, Callaghan having a black bag on her arm, which she cleverly managed to place in front of the lady she was operating on, so as to screen her hand. Sullivan, it appeared, was not taking a very active part, but acting as watcher, and keeping a look out. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said that about this time twelvemonth, while on his way home from the Court, he saw Callaghan and Sullivan in Regent-street, picking pockets. They were taken into custody and both convicted. Mr. Lewis having addressed the magistrate on the pri soners' behalf, Mr. Mansfield said he had no doubt they intended to pick pockets, and committed them for three months each. ASSAULT ON A LETTER CARRIER.—Johanna Duftlow was charged with assaulting Mat. Ford, 20, Munster-st., a district letter carrier, while on duty delivering his letters. It appears that Ford was going his round, and at the corner of a street in Rupert-street the woman pushed up against him. He told her to "keep up," thinking she had been drinking, when she dealt him a severe blow in the forehead, saying that he was only a " - twopenny post man." He pushed her on one side to get rid of her, when she seized his hair and knocked all the letters out of his hand. He then gave her in charge. A witness named Davering said he saw the assault, and the letters lying about. Prisoner said the postman said something about "Bet in a garret," that being part of a song, she believed. She had once before been at the court, but that was in " mistake." The letter-carrier said that he never said a word about " Bet in a garret." Mr. Mansfield fined the woman 10s., or 14 days. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--DISAPPOINTED AT NOT SEEING BLONDIN.—JuIia Keating, aged 23 years, and the wife of an h u o s r o h, dwelling Li m before Mr. Woolrych, charged a e n h c o s , m w i tae brought with attempting self-destruction in the Regent's Canal. A constable named Wildman, in the employ of the canal company, stated that the prisoner was taken out of the water at Limehouse on Monday night, soon after 11 o'clock, and she then appeared to be almost lifeless. The usual means were used to resuscitate her, which proved success ful. She appeared to have been drinking to excess. Thomas Moore, a bargeman, in the employ of Mr. Eltham, stated that he heard a splash in the water close to the barge in which he was employed on Monday night, and immediately hastened on deck, took up a "hitcher" (a long pole with a hook at one end), and after moving it about in the dark for a short time, saw what appeared a woman's bonnet and ribbons above the water. He then got the "hitcher" under her clothes, kept her afloat, and hallooed as loud as he could for help. Assist ance was soon given, and he hauled her on shore with as much care as he was able, and saved her. She was in the water some time, and among the barges, and he was sur prised she was not drowned. Mr. Woolrych—You have behaved very well in the matter, and that woman owes her life to your promptness. The prisoner, in defence, said that she made the attempt upon her life in the height of passion. The husband of the prisoner here advanced towards the witness-box, and said his wife was rather annoyed with him on Monday because he went to the Palace without her. Mr. Woolrych—What Palace do you mean ? The Husband—The Crystal Palace. I went there on Monday with a few mates to see Blondin on the tight rope. She wanted to go there herself. Mr. Woolrych—To see Blondin ? The Prisoner—Yes, sir; I wanted to see Blondin at the Crystal Palace, and my husband would n o t t a k e me. word, thi s i s a ver y sad you have committed is thing.Mr W T o h o elr wickedness l , o u f p the my a t only equalled by its folly. Under the inflaence of a disap pointment like this:you:try to sacrifice your own life. I will send you to the House of Detention for a week, where you will receive good advice from the Chaplain, and hope you will come out impressed with the sinfulness and folly of the act you have committed. The husband—Will you let me take her home now if you please. Mr. Woolrych reluctantly discharged the prisoner, and delivered her to the care of her husband. He did hope that she would see the error of her way s. At the suggestion of Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, the magistrate ordered that Moore should receive 20s. from the poor-box fund, and said to him he had done a very kind and a humane act, • 131 133 10 10! 22 1 23 99 100 99 100 08 100 85 87 26} 27,1 34 321 31i 321 45 48 124 126 1120 125 101 103 120 122 115 117 :110 112 '2OO 203 60 62 112 117 , 87 90 3i 31 93 9 5 55 57 15 16 131 133 115 120 - -p 89 91 Si 2i 5i 61 2* la ,.

We can no longer describe the pernicious agita tion of the Trades' Unions as " the disputes in the building trade." On Saturday last the fiat went forth from the delegates of the Masons' Committee, and all the members of that most numerous and hitherto flourishing handicraft arc now on strike. It may be taken as a general rule that strikes are very foolish indeed, but the utter fatuity of this step and the vituleneo and bitterness of feeling which the Union shows in carrying it out almost pass belief. The public will, of course, remember that the old dispute of 1859 was recommenced this year in favour of the nine hours' movement, and the strike began on that question with four great firms—viz., Messrs. Kelk's, Messrs. Lucas's, Sir Morton Peto's, and Mr. Smith's. In reply to this attempt at coercion, the firms in question resolved to put an end to the dispute at once and for ever by adopting a system of payment by the hour at an increased scale of wages, giving the men a gratuitous half-holiday on Saturday, and allowing everyone to work as long or as little as he pleased, paying him accordingly. In spite of all the efforts of the Unions, who saw in the pro posal the downfall of their influence over the work. men, the terms offered were too advantageous and too liberal to be long unaccepted. Accordingly three firms soon got back their full complement of hands under the new arrangement—partly Non- Union men and very many belonging to the Unions, who threw up their allegiance to the delegates when they saw clearly it was at variance with their best interests. Within the last few weeks the system has become so popular among the men that three firms had all their works in full operation. Messrs. Kelk were enabled to go on with the works at the Horti cultural Gardens, and Messrs.Kelk and Lewis to get upwards of 800 additional men on the building for next year's Exhibition. Within the last month. the men at Messrs. Trollope's applied to have the hour system extended to them also, which was accordingly done, and other great employers, seeing how admirably the plan worked, gradually adopted it. At the close of last week nearly all the chief firms in London, including Messrs. J. and C. Rigby, Messrs. Gammon, Messrs. Holland and Hannen, Mansfield and Sons, Mr. Fricke, Messrs. Ashby and Horner, Mr. I'Anson, Mr. Bird, Mr. Brass, Mr. Axford, Mr. Hayward, and others of less note, were all paying under this system. Some few trades grumbled, while others rejoiced at the change. The plasterers struck against it with the plumbers; the carpenters decided to remain neutral ; the brick layers, in Effect, did the same. The masons, there fore, almost the most numerous and important body of operatives in the metropolis, were selected by the Unions to fight the question, and, on the masters refusing to dissent from the new system, every mason in London was ordered to strike work on Saturday last, and on strike therefore they all are now. It is usual in these strikes for only the metropolitan labourers to turn out. Thus, if Messrs. Lucas or Kelk had a contract in London, and another at Reading or Windsor, only those on the former work would strike, those in the latter contributing to their support. But in this instance the masons have turned out both in the town and country works tcrgether. This seems rash enough, but the stupidity of their next step would be almost ludicrous if it was not likely to be attended with such privation to the men themselves. They have not only struck against those who have adopted the . hour system, but against every one who has not. Messrs. Cubitt, Myres, Lawrence, Lee, Wilson, &c., never interfered in the dispute, never adopted the hour payment, and, for all the delegates know to the contrary, these contractors might have even been in favour of the men's claims, unfair as they are. Yet, from all these the men have struck as well as from the others. It is, in fact, an indiscriminate turn out of the whole trade. Even in the case of small builders, only employing one or two masons, the men have been ordered away by the Unions, and of course have left. The most absurd part of the whole thing, however, is yet to be told. The four firms who originated this hour system have, as we have said, obtained in the meantime their full complement of contented hands, who, of course, refuse to strike, having thrown off their connexion with the Trades' Unions altogether. Thus the very contractors against whom the blow is levelled are in full work, while those who lately adopted the heat system, or who never adopted it at all, are left entirely with out masons. The time, too, which the masons have chosen is as ill judged as every other part.of their proceedings. Two months ago, when the hour system was new, and regarded as an innovation, other trades might and probably would have joined them i❑ the turn out. Now that it has had a fair trial the men like it, and the most important classes of the masons' brother operatives either support the theme, or, at least, have withdrawn their hostility to it. The plasterers, es we have said, were on strike, but the night before last, we are informed, mooting of the trade was called at which it was decided by a large majority to accept the hour system, and they have returned to work. The result of the unfortunate decision of the masons will simply be to compel all the masters to unite in making a final stand against the dictation of the Trades' Unions. They have no choice now if they wish to continue their business with any chance of profit. The fate of all the masters de pends much on the individual conduct pursued by each firm for the next few days. If one firm of im portance gives way, the others might be coerced into doing the same, and the Unions would carry the day. In such a case three months would not elapse without another strike for the nine hours' movement, and next year another for the eight— the real object, it is well known, at which the Unions are aiming. If, on the contrary, the mas ters are true to themselves, a very few weeks will suffice to set the question at rest for ever. If, with public opipion and a large mass of the operatives on their side, they succumb to a clique of agitators, they must expect no more sympathy, when, as during the strike of 1859, they tell of losses incurred by them to the amount of some £300,000 sterling. The large number of non-society men and men who have quitted the Trades' Unions now in the metropolis are about forming a "Non-Union Society" among themselves. This society will recognize the hour payment system as the basis of all agreements between master and workman. It is also to establish houses of call, where Non-Union men may hear of employment, and, above all, to protect them from the intimidation and tyranny of the Union pickets. The latter office is, at first, likely to be no sinecure. Another of Messrs. Lucas's men has this week been severely beaten and kicked in the open day, yet all his assailants managed to get clear off. For an assault on one of Mr. Kelk's men one of the aggres sors was less fortunate; he wtis seen and recognized, and a warrant has been issued for his apprehension. THE GREAT EASTERN. Instructions were received yesterday morning by the Admiralty agent in Liverpool to have the Great Eastern surveyed, and if found suitable to engage her for the conveyance of troops to Canada. This has been done and the' Great Ship" has been taken up for the conveyance of 2,500 men, 100 officers, and 122 horses for Quebec. These will in clude the 4th Field Battery of the Royal Artillery, consisting of 7 officers, 220 men, 20 women, 25 children, and 110 horses; the 30th Regiment of Foot, consisting of 39 officers, 868 men, 80 women, 120 children, and 6 horses ; the 4th battalion of the 60th Rifles, consisting of 39 officers, 868 men, 80 women, 120 children, and 6 horses. In addition to whom there are to be also 4 officers, 102 men, 9 women, and 19 children belonging to the 16th, 17th, and 100th Foot, and the Canadian Rifles. All of these are to be accommodated in standing berths, which are being fitted up by Mr. John Laird, Bir kenhead, the Admiralty supplying the bedding. The troops are to be victualled by the Great Ship Company, and they are to be embarked in Liver pool, the ship, it is understood , being to return to that port. It is expected that she will be ready for sea in about ten days. A considerable sensa , tion was created in Liverpool yesterday morning by a report to the effect that the Great Eastern had taken the ground in swinging round with the tide. This proved correct, but, there being no wind at the time, she just "tailed" the bank, and, as the tide was making, she almost immediately fl oa t e d o ff again without having sustained any damage. Besides the Great Eastern the Golden Fleece has also been taken up to convey the 47th Regiment of Foot to Quebec. The regiment consists of 39 offi cers, 868 men, and the usual number of women and children, and horses. They are to embark at Dublin, for which city the Golden Fleece will sail from Liverpool to-morrow (Thursday). AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A MILITARY OFFICER IN LIMERICK.—LIMERICK, Monday Morning.— The sudden death, at the New Barracks, in this city, on yesterday morning, of apoplexy, of Captain and Adjutant John Henry Grant, 17th Depot Battalion, has oast a sad gloom in military circles, as he was an officer highly esteemed and deservedly respected, not only by his brothers • in rank, but by every soldier belonging to the Depot Batta lion in which he served. The deceased officer was out and in perfect good health on Saturday, and arose from bed yesterday morning as usual. While dressing ho com plained of a pain in his head, immediately after which he fell on the floor and died, as above stated, of apoplexy. The doctors were called at once, but the vital spark had fled. The sudden death of Captain Grant is the tenth which has occurred in Limerick, in respectable circles, including the late mayor, in seven months. The remains of Captain Grant will be interred, with full military honours, at the c em etery, Jamul, [THIRD EDITION. ,SUZY OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PA ULIA?vIENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tnis EVENING.) ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the follow ing bills : Customs and Inland Revenue. Stockton and Darlington Railway (New Railway). Great Northern Railway (Purchase of Hertford Line). Belfast and County Down Railway. Mid Wales Railway. London and North-Western, and Manchester and Shef field and Lincolnshire Railway (Manchester London Road Station). Eland Gas. Portadown, Dungannon, and Omagh Junction Railway. The Royal Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Earl St. Germans, and. Lord Monteagle. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This DAY.) The SPEAXER took the chair at twelve o'clock. THE AFFIRMATION BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY presented six petitions in favour of :his bill. GALWAY CONTRACT. Colonel FRENCH presented a petition against the with drawal of the:Galway contract. Mr. M'MAHON presented similar petitions from Ennis corthy and other places in Ireland. SWITZERLAND. Mr. KINGLAKE gave notice that on going into com mittee of supply he should ask her Majesty's Government what progress had been made in the announcement made in her Majesty's speech in the arrangements in securing neutrality and independence of the Swiss confederation, also whether the continued occupation by French troops of ter ritory declared to be part of Switzerland is sanctioned by the guaranteeing powers, and he should also take the opportunity of calling the attention of the house to the dangers threatening the independence of Switzerland. HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER JACKALL. Mr. CAIRD said on an early day he should ask whether it was truo that a fisherman had been killed, and another seriously injured in Argyleshire, in consequence of shots fired from her Majesty's steamer Jackall, while at sea, and also who was responsible for such a proceeding. AFFIRMATION BILL. The adjourned debate on the amendment on the second reading of this bill, viz., that the bill be read a second time that day six months, was resumed. Mr. DILLWYN thought the bill a very good one, and therefore he should give his vote in favour of the second reading. He could not see the force of the different arguments that had been urged against the bill. He had a great objection to the cross-examination of witnesses on points of belief in courts of justice ; for himself ho wished belief was a matter of certainty. He wished he could believe that he could obtain absolution from a frail mortal like him self. Belief he looked upon not as a matter of will but of possibility, and he was far from thinking that this bill would interfere with the administration of justice. On the contrary, he was of opinion that it would tend to the reduction of unnecessary oaths, and thereby religion would be advanced and justice furthered. It had been said that Government should have brought in the bill, but, because they had not done so, he did not think that the house was called upon to reject this measure. (Hear, hear.) In this bill nothing new was asked for. India was now a part of the dominions of the Crown, and the law in that part of the world allowed all this bill proposed to do in this country. Why should England be behind India in respect to oaths and affirmations. In giving evidence a person did so as a .duty to society, and he thought society ought to get that evidence in the best way it could. Refer ring to the great mystery that surrounded the mysterious murder at Road, if a person came forward and said he could give most important evidence that would tend to elucidate that mystery, if he were cross-questioned as to his religious belief before giving that evidence, and he was neither Separatist, Quaker, or Moravian, his evidence would be inadmissable, because he could not conscientiously take the oath. In India they allowed barbarous and ignorant persons to give evidence without taking an oath, and the jury took the evidence for what it was worth, and he was, as he had said before, at a loss why the same privilege should be denied in England. He voted for the bill because he believed that the interests of justice would not be impeded, or the interests of true religion interfered with. Lord R. MONTAGUE objected to the bill, as it was framed solely for the purpose of relieving those who looked upon the taking of an oath as an empty ceremony. He did not think the parties interested in the passing of this bill would rest content, supposing Parliament sanctioned it; but that the house next year would be ealled upon to give its assent to a bill abolishing oaths altogether. Mr. BAINES said he had hoped before he came into the house that some other mode of dealing with the question than that of rejecting it altogether would have been sug gested. He approved of the bill he held in his hand. The hon. gentleman was quo.ing some passages from it when he was informed it was not the one then under con sideration. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he should give his vote against the second reading of the bill. It could not be said that the law at present was based upon any narrow religious prejudices. The Quakers, Moravians, and Separatists were relieved from the taking of an oath, because they objected to do so from religious scruples. The law also admitted the evidence of pagans, heathens, Hiudoos, and Chinese to be taken, when it was given after the witness had stated that he considered the declaration he was called upon to make was binding upon him to speak the truth. The bill appeared to him to be intended to meet the case of a defect in religious belief. When a person of known opinions entered a witness-box he did not object to give evidence, but his evidence was objected to. The measure seemed to him to be based on an erroneous view of the case for which a remedy was required, and he for one could not consent to throw upon the judges of the land a duty impossible for them to discharge. The bill seemed to him altogether to miss its mark, and therefore he could not give it his support. Mr. ROEBUCK said the question was both a difficult and important one. He thought the bill a good one, and therefore he should give it his support. He should like to have the question, whether an oath was any guarantee for speaking the truth, fairly argued. Many a trust • worthy man had been put aside because he conscientiously refused to take an oath ; and one who took the oath, without the least intention of adhering to it, was allowed to give his evidence. That some remedy to the present system was required was evident. For instance, a man who was said to be an unbeliever could be robbed with im punity. Knock him down, rob, murder him ; :no, not murder him, because you then put it out of his power to give evidence, but treat him in the most brutal manner, and he had no remedy in a court of law. Because, if the man happened to have no corroborative evidence, counsel for the prisoner had only to ask him whether he was a be liever or not before he gave his evidence, in order to get rid of his testimony altogether. (Hear, hear.) A con scientious man refused to take an oath because ho objected to it religiously, but a rogue who took it, looking upon it as a mere matter of form and nothing else, was al lowed that which was denied an honest man. it was because he objected to such 's. state of things that he should give the bill his support. Mr. WALTER objected to the bill because it destroyed the difference between man and beast, and because it struck at the root of truth. Mr. DENMAN could not support the bill because it would be of no avail in the case of the shuffier and liar. Mr. M. SMITH opposed the bill, because if it received the assent of the house it would remove one of the safe guards against perjury. Mr. HEATHCOTE objected to the bill, as it would not remedy tho evil complained of, but would lead to greater dilculty, and open the door to all sorts of evasions. Mr. LOCKE said by the Common Law Procedure Act of 1854 the judge had, in civil cases, the power of relieving a person from taking an oath if he stated that the doing so, according to his religious belief, was unlawful ; and the present bill only sought to give the same power in crimi nal cases. The affirmation in the bill now before them set forth that an oath would not, in the judgment of the wit ness, be more conducive to the speaking the truth than his deliberate undertaking to do so. Bait tie Common Law Procedure Act required a witness to declare that, accord ing to his religious belief, the taking of an oath was unlawful. The fact was, ,the whole tendency of legislation on this subject had reference, not so much to the relief of the conscience of witnesses, as to furthering an act of justice. No inconvenience had ever arisen from the relief that had been already given to certain sects. He should vote for the second reading of the bill ; and lin the event of its not being successful, he should bring forward the bill on the same subject that stood lower down in_ . e orders for that day in his (Mr. Locke's) name, a_n , ct Ai__ should claim the votes of many:gentlemen who ob- j ec he the pressly laid it down that a person makir_g an measure then under discussion, because in liis a bill ffi r r e a t i e o i n " must have a religious belief. againstrth in the bill was ing of this bill.

He believed it was admitted that the change, as far as ' witnesses were concerned, would not stop there. He thought the bill was objectionable in rinciple, and seem to hold out an invitation to those who wished to evade the responsibility of giving their evidence under the sanctity of an oath. Sir J, $11E141.4.EX rose , midst loud cries of i; Divide." He said they had had the reasons of many legal gentlemen why they intended to vote for or against the bill, and he was anxious to state that in giving his vote in favour of this bill he was not, as had been reported, of all those, who sup ported the measure, voting for no religion at all. (Divide, divide.) Sir J. TRELAWNY replied, and the house divided, when there appeared— For the recond reading.. Against it Majority The bill was consequently lost. LOCOMOTIVES BILL, - The houso went into committee on this bill, which was for the purpose of allowing locomotive carriages to travel on turnpike roads. Clauses up to 10 were agreed to, with some trifling amendment. On clause 11, Mr. BLACK proposed the following proviso :—" Pro vided that no locomotives propelled by steam shall be used within the limits of any municipal or parliamentary borough, without authority tin writing of the Mayor or other authority." Sir J. SHE LLEy thought that none of those locomo tives should be allowed to run on turnpike roads with out the permission of the Board of Works. He thought the streets of the metropolis were quite unsuited to running of these enormous carriages. The hon. and learned member had given up the amendment he had given notice of, but he should take it up, and he therefore moved an amend ment to the effect that none of the locomotives shall run within the limits of the metropolis without a license for that purpose being first obtained from the Metropolitan Board of Works, with such condi tions in the license as may be deemed necessary for the public safety and convenience, and any person running, locomotives without such license shall be liable on convic tion to a penalty not exceeding £5. Mr. GAItNETT said the claus e in the bill as it stands had the satisfaction of the Lord Mayor of London, and he therefore thought the amendment was altogether un necessary. Sir J. SHELLEY said the consent of the Lord Mayor only extended to a very small part of the metropolis, whereas that of the Metropolitan Board of Works had power over the whole. Mr. GRIFFITH moved an amendment to the proposi tion of the hon. baronet who had just resumed his seat as follows—" nor within the limits of any municipal or parlia mentary borough, without a license for the purpose being firstobtainedfrom the mayor and town council under their common seal." Mr. W. PATTEN said the greatest difficulty would arise if every town council was allowed the privilege of legislating in the same manner as that house. Some coun cils would give consent and the other refusals, and the greatest inconvenience would arise. He thought the real question that ought to be discussed was whether these loco motives should run on common roads at all. Mr. SYDNEY thought great inconvenience would arise from the running of these locomotives in the metropolis. He need not mention the crowded state of the roads in Shoreditch or High-street, Southwark, to show how great would be the confusion by the appearance of these great locomotives in that part of the metropolis. He lived in tha part of the metropolis monopolised by one of those train roads—that running to Bayswater—and the result was that one half of that broad thoroughfare was completely mono polised by the carriages on that tramway. Mr. EST C OURT objected to increasing the difficulties of traffic in the metropolis. No one now could travel in a carriage along the lines occupied by the tramway without getting the wheels of the carriage in great danger. Sir G. LEWIS said he thought the clause as it stood was sufficient ; but he did not think there could be any objection to the proposed amendment of the hon. baronet the member for Westminster as far as the metropolis was concerned. With respect to the provincial towns, if it was thought proper to empower the Home Office to make regu lations, he would carry out the regulations to the best of his judgment. After: a short discussion the committee divided on Mr, Griffith's amendment, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority —7l The Usher of the Black Rod here summoned the Speaker to the House of Peers to hear the royal assent given to several bills, for'which see Lords' report. - On the return of the Speaker, the house divided on Sir J. Shelley's amendment to clause 11 of the Locomotive Bill, when there appeared— For the amendment. ... Against it . . Majority —4B Clauses 12 and 13 were agreed to. On clause 14, Col. FRENCH moved an amendment to the effect that Ireland be exempted from the operation of the bill. The amendment was negatived without a division. The preamble was then agreed to, and the bill was re ported with amendments. The house then resumed. INDICTABLE OFFENCES (METROPOLITAN DISTRICTS) BILL. Tho second reading of this bill was postponed until the 3d of July. ANNOYANCE TO JURORS (WESTMINSTER) BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered to be read a third time, CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS OATH RELIEF BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. M'MAHON objected to the consideration of this bill, as it was precisely similar to that which had been dis posed of two or three hours ago. Re concluded by moving that the house go into committee that day three.; months. Mr. LOCKE said that what he proposed to do for Eng land in this bill was already the law in Ireland, and for the hon. and learned gentleman not to be aware of that fact appeared to him most extraordinary. The sole object of his bill was to extend the practice of making affirma tions to criminal cases as it at present existed with respect to civil cases. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said his objection was one of degree. It arose from the circumstance that many witnesses would be tempted to tell a lie without there was the fear of an indictment for perjury for doing so. Mr CRA WFORD raid if thero w 61,8 eo much objection on the part of the Solicitor-General to what was the law,in Ireland, he wanted to know why a bill for the practice in that country was not brought in by the hon. and learned gentleman. The hon. member addressed the house up to a quarter to six, at which hour the debate terminated in accordance with the standing orders. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. LETTERS FOR ME SOUTHERN STATES OF AMERICA.
