The SPEAKER did not take the chair until some time after 12 o'clock, in consequence of there not being a suffi cient number of members present to constitute " a house." PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : The Alton, Alresford, and Winchester Railway Bill, and Rhyl Bridge Bill. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time :—Cockermouth, Keswick, and Penrith Railway; Henley in Arden Railway; Southampton and Netley Railway; and West Cheshire Railways. NEW TRIAL IN CRIMINAL CASES. Mr. BUTT rose to move the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enable a review being taken of erroneous verdicts in criminal cases. In 1844, Sir F. Kelly, following the footsteps of an eminent legal autho rity, introduced a bill for the above purpose, but the con sideration of the bill was delayed until the year 1858, when he introduced the bill again, and its principles were affirmed by a considerable majority. It had been objected to by many to allow appeals from decisions of the Court of Queen's Bench in criminal trials, but in certain cases it had been found of great service. In cases of misdemeanour an appeal was allowed, but in felony there was no such right, and the reason why the distinction was allowed was, that felony incurred, in the event of a conviction, forfeiture of goods, so that a man charged with the more serious offence did not possess the privilege en joyed by him who was convicted of a lesser offence. By his bill he proposed to sweep away the distinction between felony and misdemeanour, and giving the man tried in the Court of Queen's Bench for felony the same right as that possessed by a man con. victed of the lesser offence ; and he further proposed to extend the power of that court to bring criminal cases be fore them from other courts by a writ of certiorari. In several instances the opinion of the judge went with the verdict of the jury, yet in many cases it had been proved that both judge and jury were wrong, and an innocent man had been in many instances convicted of an offence he had never committed. He did not think a more glaring want of the bill he at present had the honour of - moving the srscvf,l x..ding existed than in the case of Mr. Barber, the attorney, whose case was familiar to the house, from the fact that they had granted him compensation. Then, again, he would instance the case of the Earl of Dundonald. The noble earl exerted him self to obtain a new trial, but was perfectly unable to do so. If he had succeeded, he would not have gone down to the grave with the sting of his trial rankling in his breast. It was true the ultimate result was the triumph of the noble and gallant earl over the aspersions of his enemies ; but if the bill now before them had been law at the time, much of the suffering of so gallant a man would have been prevented. Dr. Smethurst's case proved the necessity of the bill, and referring to trials still more recent—that of Mr. Kirwan, in Ireland, and Mr. Hatch, in Westminster Hall—showed the great necessity there was for the passing of the bill. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to point out several cases which had occurred in Ireland showing the necessity of his measure, and instanced a cane of a man convicted of murder. Before sentence was passed he was asked in the usual form why he should not suffer the penalty of the law. If he had said the witnesses had sworn falsely against him, he was told that was no answer in point of law. If he said to the judge you have ruled a point of law wrong; that was no answer in point of law ; but if he said the clerk had committed an error in drawing up the indictment, and it turned out to be one of the most trivial nature, then he had sufficient to arrest the passing of the sentence. He knew he shoull be asked if he proposed to give appeals in acquittals as well as convictions, but as he did not do so in this bill, he felt there would be some objection, and he trusted the House would read the bill a second time. Sir. G. C. LEWIS said this was another instance of Wednesday inflictions. Last session the House had in a very marked way rejected a bill, which was precisely similar in its enactments. He did not think that anything I had occurred since that time to show that the bill was re quired. Did the hon. gentleman think it was a common occurrence for the innocent man to be found guilty in this country ? (Hear, hear, from Mr. Butt.) If the hon. gen tleman meant by his cheer to infer that it was so, he (Sir G. Lewis) felt a strong conviction, in which he was sup ported by the learned judges of the land, that such a cir cumstance was of very rare occurrence. He thought the bill would be a mockery to a man in prison in saying to him you can appeal against your sentence, because it would be entirely useless to give the privilege without you made some provision for the pay ment of the costs. He did not think the case of Dr. Smethurst afforded the slightest argument in favour of this bill, which sought to enact that appeals be given to certain criminal cases. The real ground of uncertainty in Dr. Smethurst's Case was the fallibility of the scientific evidence. Then, again, Mr. Hatch's case did not afford the hon. gentleman any stronger argument in his favour. (Hear, hear.) He thought Mr. Hatch had a much better chance „c r-- -rrivy fau inclintmont for perjury than by lierrins• ti far, because in the indictment for perjury Mr. and Mrs. Hatch would be enabled to give their evidence, which they could not have done had it been a new trial. He was totally at a loss to see the necessity of this bill. Did the hon. gentleman believe that courts of appeal would never make any mistake. (Hear, hear.) As the measure created quite a revolution in criminal law, he should move that the bill be read a second time that day six months. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M'MAHON spoke in favour of the bill. After a few wards from Mr. BUTT, the motion for the second reading of the bill was negatived without a divi sion. ANNOYANCE JURORS (WESTMINSTER) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and several new clauses having been added to it, it was reported with amendments, and ordered to be reprinted. PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL. Mr. PAULL moved the second reading of this bill, which he said he had now for four sessions brought under the consideration of the house. On the last occasion the bill was referred to a select committee for consideration, and the present measure was founded upon the opinion contained in the report, and also upon the evidence given before the committee. He did not propose any new prin ciple or any new matter of detail, but as the powers had been given in several bills that have received the sanction of Parliament, viz , the Tramways Bill, the Fairs and Markets (Ireland) Bill, he thought it could be safely given to Piers and Harbours. The machinery for carrying out the provisions of the bill could be amply discussed in com mittee, but he proposed that the act should, in the event of its receiving their sanction, be carried out by the Board of Trade. Its principal object was that in the event of parties wishing to save the money expended in obtaining an Act of Parliament to take land and levy tolls for the making of piers and harbours they might, after they had deposited the plans and compiled the whole of the standing orders of Parliament proceed by provisional order of the Board of Trade with the construction thereof. He had provided for the proper consideration of any objection that might arise to any proposed new works by adopting the arrangements now insisted on by their standing orders with respect to legislation of this de- I scription. Mr. M. GIBSON said, although the bill from its name might be supposed to effect the same object as that pro posed by the Government, it did not in the slightest degree clash with it, and if the house should agree to read it a second time, it might be made to act as an aid to the Go vernment measure. If the Legislature thought proper to throw the duty of carrying out the provisions of the bill on the Board of Trade, he should have no objection to givs all the assistance in his power to it. (Hear, hear.) On the part of the Government he had to say there was no ob jection to the second reading of the bill ; but he must re. serve to himself the right to suggest any alteration that might be considered necessary in committee. Mi. HENLEY thought the bill might be greatly imm proved when they came to consider it in detail in coin• mittee. Sir L.'PALK supported the bill. He said he was the owner of a harbour which came within the provisions of the bill, and if it received the assent of the Legislature he should, without doubt, avail himself of its provisions. The bill, after a few words from Mr. BUCHANAN, was read a second time. MINES TRESPASSES PREVENTION BILL. This bill was read a second time. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. The other orders of the day having been read and post poned, Mr. MURE obtained leave to introduce a bill to make further provision for the regulation of the British White Herring Fishery in Scotland, TRANBFE a OF STOCKS AND ANNUITIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a bill to increase the facilities for the transfer of stocks and annuities transferable at the Bank of Ireland, and to make further provision respecting the mutual transfer of capital in certain public stocks or funds transferable at the Banks of England and Ireland ; and for other purposes. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Mr. PEEL moved for a return showing the financial transactions of the Metropolitan Board of Works under the Act 21 and 22 Vic. c. 104, to the 25th day of March, 1861, as follows : —l. As to Loans—The principal sums bor rowed, with the date and amount of each loan; the rate of interest; the annual sums repaid on account of the loans, with dates of repayment ; and principal sums outstanding. 2.

Pitts, Capt. D. Corson, from Charleston on the 24th. The Pitts was pur chased by her Northern owners last winter, but as she was obliged to leave this port before the legal transfer could be made, she made her last trip to the South under her old papers, according to which she hails from Tappahanock, Virginia. This circumstance was all that enabled the captain to take his vessel out of the port of Charleston, as on the 20th all Northern vessels were seized and appropriated to the uses of the Negro Confederacy.- -From Cap tain Corson we have gained many important par ticulars. He states that there is not a month's provisions in the city, and, of course, they are re ceiving no accessions. Flour on the 22d he con tracted for at 8 dols. per barrel, but, neglecting to the o send for it th at,day, he was o b l i ged on the 23d to 3 d i v i sions dole, i n hadtl P 24 ay ho l u l rs ti . °ls T" The price price of all havin gr isen other trebled during the last two or three months. Th e Sunday bef ore h e left, the 20th, about 3,000 Volunteers entered the city, but were irarae• diately sent north to Virginia, and the gene ral impression then was that they would send about the same number north every week. Captain Corson doubted their ability to obtain the supply. The South Carolinians are boasting very loudly over their victory at Sumter, and are confident that within 20 days—the next 10 days—they will be in possession of Washington. Bets are freely offered in regard to it. The general impression seemed to be that the task of whipping the North would be mere child's play. Many of the firms of Charleston are at work fitting out pri vateers, and some six or seven are now under way among others is the steamer Nashville, late of the New York and Charleston line. The crew of the Nashville came to this port in the B. D. Pitts. Among other passengers were two deserters from the rebel forces. Capt. Corson also brought with him :a man named James Tracey, who, with his wife and family, were driven out of the State for refusing to take up arms in the rebel army. He is an Irishman by birth, but has been in this coun try about 42 years, 12 of which he served in the army—part of the time in the Florida war, under Scott. For some years he has been in South Carolina, where he owned a plantation of 1,500 acres, valued, with the stock, &c., at about 15,000 dols. Having served under the American flag, would not enlist in the Negro Confederacy army to fight against it. On the Gth of April a meeting of citizens was held, at which he was warned to leave the city within ten days. On the 14th, while he was absent from home, in Columbia, a mob, headed by a ruffian named Hoffman, who presided in the meet ing on the 6th, during a pelting rain, attacked his house and turned the family out of doors. They chased the wife and youngest child through the woods on their horses, and finally captured them; then having captured Tracey and his eldest son, a young man of 21, they stripped them and gave to the former 500 lashes, and latter 250 lashes with a raw hide, changing executioners as they grew tired. The punishment was so severe that their backs were covered with blood, and blood also issued from their noses and mouths. After this they tied the whole family hand and foot, and, tossing them into carts, carried them 160 miles to Charleston, where they were thrust into the gaol without money, with only the clothes they had on, and accorded the privilege to go "to that nigger Lincoln— their nigger brother Lincoln—if they could find any one to take them. Captain Corson heard their story and brought them with him. Of course, the family is almost entirely destitute, but the lather and son declare that they want to enlist the first opportunity. They will remain on the schooner for a few days, where any committee can find them, and we would suggest that a small portion of any money that has been raised for the Volunteer cause should be donated to equipping these two men, who from comparative affluence have by the traitors and rebels at the South been reduced to penury and want. They carry with them the wounds of the rebel lash, and their case is certainly worthy of immediate consideration.—New York Courier and Inquirer. THE MAILS. MAILS DUB.

The house ha ' g been with his skull smashed inby blows from a cravat tied tightly round his neck. The state of the drawers showed that he had been murdered for the sake of robbery, but what was taken could not be ascertained; it is supposed, however, that part of the booty was a sum of 3,000 fr. The police on inquiry learned that late in the night in question a man had gone to a house of ill fame at Rueil, and had remained there until the next morning. This man resembled the one who had been seen to run from Huet's house, and the police soon ascertained that he was Ballagny. Moreover, a bundle containing articles in dress was found in Iluet's garden ; it had evidently been aban doned by the man who had taken to flight; those articles, one of which was a goat-skin coat, were recognised as Bal lagny's, Ia presence of these facts the man not only made no attempt to deny his guilt, but he gave details of the crime ; among other things he said it was in the evening of the 10th that he had committed it, and that he had re mained in the house, eating, drinking, and sleeping until t h e night of the 12th. The jury declared him guilty, and the Court condemned him to death. A POSER.—Precocious Pupil : " Please, Miss Jones, what is the meaning of suburbs ?"
