The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Earl CLANCARTY presented a petition from three parishes in Sussex against the use of dogs in drawing carts. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the royal burghs of Scotland against the bill for as similating the bankruptcy law of Scotland to that of Eng land, and praying for no alteration in the law until the most ample inquiry by a commission similar to that which had been appointed in England. Lord BROUGHAM had reason to believe that the mercantile classes in Scotland were generally in favour of the proposed alterations. INCOME TAX BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE did not intend to oppose the third reading of the bill at its present ad vanced stage, but there was one point on which nothing w as said during the debate last night, and with reference to which he thought the house ought to have some expla nation from the Government—viz , what were the other financial plans to be proposed before the close of the ses sion ? The Government had announced aloan, the tenders for which were now in the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This was to be repayable in three instalments —in 1858, 1859, and 1860. The present income-tax would reach its minimum point in 1857, and would alto gether expire in 1860, and accordingly additional bur dens would be thrown ou the country just in those years in which the people expected to be relieved of a portion of the income tax. This loan was, moreover, in direct contravention of the understanding on which the income tax was agreed to last session. The Earl of GRANVILLE said, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer would next week submit a financial statement to the other house, it would be utterly im possible for him now to go into any details upon the measures which the Government intended to submit to Parliament. The Earl of MALMESBURY considered that if the Government had been sufficiently warned by their agents abroad they would have made more prompt and more satisfactory financial arrangements. The Duke of ARGYLL deprecated the discussion as irregular. So far from the correspondence in posses. sion of the Government leading them to believe in war, if the Emperor of Russia had adhered to the declara tions he had made there would have been no war at all. After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY, Lord BROUGHAM expressed an earnest hope if such a pernicious tax as that on income was necessary it would last no longer than the war. The bill, after some further discussion, was read a third time. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock, and there being only 36 members present, the house adjourned until to-morrow. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) DOWNING-STREET, APRIL 30.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) CONDITION OF CALCUTTA. The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from the inhabitants of Calcutta, complaining of the inefficient manner in which that city is lighted, drained, and cleansed, under the local municipal act of 1852, and praying fcr municipal institutions similar to those enjoyed by towns in the United Kingdom. After entering at some length into the subject, the noble earl concluded by asking the Government whether they were prepared to take any steps to remedy the evils complained of. Earl GRANVILLE said that as these were all purely local matters, with which the Governor-General in coun cil and the local authorities were perfectly competent to deal, he would not recommend their lordships to inter fere with them. THE INCOME TAX BILL. Earl GRANVILLE, in moving the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, said he had no in tention of entering into a history of the income tax; and he should not now have alluded to what took place last year, but for the observations which had recently been made in this house. A noble friend of his had observed that there was great want of forethought on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in abandoning, at a time when he anticipated war, so important a source of re venue as the soap duty; that when the Government came into office there was an ample revenue for all purposes, yet they wantonly threw away 1,000,0001. a year in soap duties, and substituted for it a tax which produced five times that amount. Now, if there were one feeling stronger than another, whether in or out of Parliament, it was that it had become absolutely necessary for the in come tax either to be repealed or its inequalities to be mo dified. And this feeling had certainly been much encourag ed by what had taken place on the part of the late Govern ment. With a laudable desire to meet this feeling, they announced in Parliament that it was a part of their plan to make certain modifications in these inequalities. But when their plan was propounded, it was felt to be incomplete and immature, and its only effect was to in crease the public expectation that her Majesty's present Government would deal with the impost. His right hoe. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had accord ingly applied a degree of labour to the consideration of the question, so as to master its principles and the working of its details, which he believed had hardly ever been bestowed by any public man upon a single question whilst engaged in the discharge of the other duties of his office. He had had associated with him several other members of the Government, and after the most anxious consideration, they had come to the conclusion, which every ministry had of late come to, except the Government of noble lords opposite, that it was impossible to modify the income tax without increasing, instead of diminishing its inequality and injustice, and that if they meddled with it at all they would impair its utility as a means of supplying the revenue. With the expectations which had been raised on the part of the country on the one hand, and with this opinion of the Government on the other, it appeared to him absolutely necessary either to give the tax up altogether or retain it in its present shahs. By the admirable arguments of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, accompanied by a pro position which met with the favour of the House of Com mons and the country, on account of its justice, its com prehensiveness, and the fact that it relieved to a consi derable extent—as in the case of the repeal of the soap duty—both the manufacturers of the country and the wants of the poorer classes of the people, the House of Commons and the country were induced to accept the income tax again. It was now proposed by the bill on the table to double the first half-year's income tax. This would give 3, 300,000/., which with the surplus of last year would go to make ap the deficiencies upon the expendi ture of 56,000,000/., already sanctioned by the House of Commons. The proposition was a simple one. The bill merely enacted that during the first half-year double one half-year's income tax should be paid ; the objects being two —one, that as a direct tax, unlike an indirect, could only be collected within 6 or 9 months subsequently to its becoming due, the whole charge might be received in the current year; the other, that if circumstances should require it, Government might be enabled to come before parliament and make a second call. Lord BROUGHAM stated that he retained all his former objections to the income tax. He still thought that a tax upon income derived from capital ought to be different from a tax upon income derived from labour ; and that of all taxes a tax upon income was the worst, with the exception of taxes upon food, taxes upon know ledge, and taxes upon the administration of justice. But owing to the war in which we were engaged, the ex penses of which must be paid, the income tax was not only necessary, but it was necessary to double it; and on this ground alone he assented to it. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the late Govern ment had been turned out upon their financial policy ; and therefore it was the more incumbent upon the pre sent Government to show that their financial policy en titled them to the confidence of the country. Glancing at Mr. Gladstone's several propositions, he contended that all his expectations had proved illusory. He must have known that war with Russia was impending when he was proposing reductions of taxation and conversions of stock. War, however, was now declared ; and then Mr. Gladstone expressed an opinion that the present generation might support the burden, and that the doubling of the income tax for the present would be suf ficient. He took a different view on both these points. A new financial scheme had now been proposed. The success of this plan appeared to be doubtful. In con clusion the noble earl said he should not oppose the mo tion, hut he left the house to decide whether the results of Mr. Giadstone's policy had arisen from ignorance or incapacity. Lord MONTEAGLE contended at great length that our financial position at the present moment was anoma lous if not dangerous. In spite of increased revenue and prosperity we were in difficulties from the measures pro posed by the Government, among which he chiefly in cluded the reduction of interest upon Exchequer bills. The effect was that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was called upon to raise 3,000,0001. in money at great incon venience, to pay off these bills, and to re-issue them at a higher rate of interest. More had been done by this transaction to destroy the character of these securities than at any period during the whole century and a half that they had been in existence. The abortive schemes for dealing with the funded debt had also been produc tive of g reat inconvenience. The balances in the Ex chequer had been reduced 5,081,0001. between April, 1853, and 1854, in consequence of these operations. Mean while a war budget had been carried, inasmuch as a sum of 4,315,000/. had been voted, in addition to the ordi nary estimates for the army, navy, and ordnance ser vices. The balances thus reduced by the financial opera tions of last year entailed danger not only to the work ing of the Bank Act of 1844, but great injury to the commercial interest, by limiting the means at the com mand of the Bank for its accommodation. And whilst the balances had been exhausted the sinking fund had been absorbed, not in the paying off of debt, but in cur rent expenditure. The keystone of the system of the Government was, as explained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the supplies of the year should be raised within the year. But on the 21st of April, when Parlia iiament was not sitting, an official notice appeared stating that 6,000,0001. was required, and would be raised in the very manner which all the previous declarations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had repudiated. He expressed considerable doubts as to the expediency of this proposal ; and he cautioned the Government against unnecessarily meddling with public credit, and against fanciful systems of experiment with the finances of the country. The Duke of ARGYLL, replying to the observations of the Earl of Malmesbury, contended that when the financial measures of the Government were prepared they had not, from the assurances given by the Emperor of Russia, any reason to anticipate a state of war. Al luding to Lord Monteagle's observations, ho contended that they exaggerated the actual state of things ; that he had carefully left out of consideration the existence of a state of war and the deficiency of the harvest last year, circumstances which were enough to disturb the calculations of any minister ; but he submitted that with _an increasing revenue and with a Considerable balance of income over ordinary expenditure, both which the noble lord had admitted, there was no reason for des pondency. Under these circumstances he considered the speech of the noble lord as rather uncalled for, and as calculated to increase the difficulties which he had described. Earl GREY said the house was greatly indebted to Lord Monteag!e for the able manner in which he had examined the financial arrangements of the Government; and the answer made by the noble duke he regarded as eminently unsatisfactory. Though he could not agree with Lord Malmesbury, he was certainly not prepared to give that unmixed praise to the financial policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer which had been claimed by the noble duke, inasmuch as the result of that policy had been to cause a considerable loss to the public. Our present financial position was extremely serious. He was alarmed at the low state of the public balances, and still more at the language held elsewhere in defending their reduction, because it calculated upon the whole amount of dividends not being called for when due, and upon accruing revenue to discharge the balance. This was the course pursued by " gentlemen in difficulties" when they told their tradesmen to call again, and he cautioned the house against a system which might lead to a notion in the public that there was not money in the Bank to pay them. Their lordships should guard against a policy which threatened to lead to such conse quences, and which, therefore, he characterized as rash and dangerous. He had, indeed, no confidence in the financial foresight of the Government. After a few words from the Earl of DONOUGHMORE, Earl GRANVILLE replied in considerable detail to the objections urged against the financial policy of the Government, which he vindicated in all its main points., htihes adjourned. then passed committee ; after which their lordships bloridlslp HOUSE OF COINIMONS-(YESTERDAY.) OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. The house then went into committee on the Oxford University Bill. On clause 1, which appoints the commissioners, Mr. HORS lAN moved an amendment that the clause should be postponed, with a view to leaving out the names of the Bishop of Ripen, Lord Ellesmere, Mr Justice to the Bishop Cole ridge, and Sir J. Audrey. Lord J. RUSSELL objected to this course, contendin g that those gentlemen were in all respects qualified to at :t as commissioners. . Mr. HORSMAN repeated his objection, more especi?lly Coleridge,tlp entitled t butre respect e thee t than lues t itohne was, Were e r o o f mirr.tismoeTtHo of Ripon, as be contended a bishop nad ample duties to attend to in his own diocese. Sir J. PAKINGTON said no two individuals were more they i able 1 cant and devote. jn g E su ß ch ON an t i h n o q u l rY ht a t s h t e hi a s tlempt to erase from the bill the first clause, which appcduted tb.o Qomplisioners, seemed like takin:* Off - the head and leaving nothing but the trunk. He hoped the house would d s no account consent to postpone the clr.use. After some remarks from Mr. Heywood, Aft. I3lo)clietti and Mr. Wigram, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if he understood the discussion aright, it turned partly on the general question as to the fixing of the names at the commencement or close of the eommittee, and partly on the names themselves. Of course, the house by passing names now, would not be precluded from the substitution of other names hereafter. He believed that there was no choice between giving the largest discretionary power and adopting propositions of the broadest character. He held that it was the duty of Government to appoint men who would be satisfactory to those whose whole life and hopes were bound up in the welfare of the University. Objec tions bad been urged against two of the proposed commis sioners, Mr. Justice Coleridge and the Dean of Wells, on the ground of their religious views. It had been properly replied to that objection by an hon. member who had spoken, that those were matters which ought not to be dis cussed there; but he might observe, that he believed the statements put forward in that respect wore not justified by fact. Then Sir J. Awdrey was objected to because he was supposed to have expressed dissent from the bill ; but having received Sir J. Awdrey's evidence, his (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's) opinion of the general tenor of that evidence was that it was conceived entirely in accord ance with the spirit of the bill. What were the views Sir J. Awdrey had expressed ? That college ought not to maintain the monopoly of instruction—that it was doubt ful whether the oaths ought to be retained, and that the restriction of holy orders in reference to fellowships ought to be relaxed. Mr. HEYWOOD—But as to Dissenters? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHAQUER was not aware that there w,is anything about Dissenters in the bill ; but what he contended was, that generally the evidence of Sir J. Awdrey was in accordance with the spirit of the bill. Then the hon. gentleman wanted a scientific man ; but, if he had searched through the University, it was doubtful whether in general acquirements, including science, a man could be found equal to the Dean of Wells. He obtained the highest scholarship in the university ; took a double first class in classics and mathematics ; and had filled the professorships of astronomy and moral philosopy. Then it was said these commissioners had other duties to occupy their time. If it were desired to reform any institution — to improve its organisation, instead of disorganising it — they must carry with them the confidence of those with whom they had to deal, and must appoint men to carry out that reform in whom the institution had confidence, and in whom Parliament had confidence ; for this, it was necessary to appoint men of great experience, and ability, and honour, and tried prudence ; but where were such men to be found if they were to be precluded from making choice of men already filling high and important stations ? With regard to the Bishop of Ripon—when be was re quested by the Government to allow himself to be nomi nated as one of the commissioners—the first thing he did was to write to say that his diocese had the first claim upon his care, and before ho could consent he must know that the nature of the duties required of him were such as he could discharge without interfering with the duties of his diocese. The bishop was informed that what would be required of him was a general supervision in the framing of general rules, and not the dealing with a large mass of details, which would be left to the secretaries. . Mr. DISRAELI protested against the principle which he understood had been laid down by the right hon. gen tleman that what they were to decide was not so much the clauses of the bill as who were to be the administrators to whom the carrying out of those clauses was to be en trusted. No principle could be more dangerous. What he contended was, that they should first settle what was to be done, and then deliberate as to who were the most com petent to do it, and to fill the offices to be established, and not permit themselves to be influenced in their decisions upon the clauses of the bill by the character and position of those whom it was proposed to appoint as trustees to carry them into effect. Sir J. PAKINGTON inquired in whom the appoint ment of the secretary would be vested, and who was to be appointed ? Lord J. RUSSELL replied that it had not yet been fixed who should fill the office of secretary ; if it were de sired he should have no objection to introduce the names at a later period, otherwise the crown would appoint them and fix the salaries. After a few words from Mr. HORSMAN, the committee divided. For the clause 169 For the amendment Majority for the Government ---28 The clause was agreed to, as was clause 2, and, after some discussion, clause 3. A long debate took place on the wording of that part of clause 4 which prescribes that no oath taken by any officer of the University shall be pleadable in bar of the authority of the commissioners • Sir Wm. Heatbcote moved the omission of these wordsand the substitution of a modified proviso not making mention of any oath. On division this amendment was negatived by 118 to 69, majority, 49; and the clause was agreed to. On clause 5, which substitutes the Hebdomadal Council for the Hebdomadal Board, Mr. WALPOLE explained the grounds of amendment which he proposed to the sixth clause, which provides for the composition of the council. His amendments went to increase the number of heads of colleges or halls, who were to be part of the council, from six to seven, and to do the same as regarded the professors, and to provide that, instead of such heads being elected by the congre gations, they should be selected from among themselves by the heads of colleges or halls, and to make similar pro vision in regard to the selection by the professors from among themselves. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER removed front clause 5 some words connecting it with the provi sions for the composition of the council ; and, after dis cussion and a protest from Mr. NEWDEGATE, the clause was agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. Walpole's amendments being moved, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into argument to show their inexpediency, urgint that the word clique seemed expressly invented to describe the li mited constituencies they would create, and that the whole bill was passed on trust and confidence in the men for whom legislation was being attempted. A long discussion followed, in the course of which Mr. NEWDEGATE protested against the depriving the government of the University of its free and popular cha racter, and instanced, as one of its merits, that convocation very nearly crushed the Tractarian heresy at its oustet. Mr. LOWE ridiculed the pictura drawn by Mr. Newde gate, and in turn referred to the discreditable spectacle of men having been brought up in hundreds from all corners of the kingdom to condemn Dr. Hampden's book, which few of them had read. He spoke from experience in de scribing the Government of the University as an oligarchy. Mr. HENLEY contended that the proposed plan would throw the whole power into the hands of the younger members, who would be an oligarchy of about a hundred. He also avowed much apprehension of the increased in fluence of Tractarianism from the new constitution, in which the clerical element was far too prevalent. Mr. E. DENISON, Sir W. HEATHCOTE, and other mem bers having taken part in the discussion, the committee divided on the amendment relating to the election of the heads, and the numbers were— For the amendment For the original clause Majority against Government —l3 Mr. WALPOLE then (as we understood) suggested that the words in the clause giving the Chancellor the power to appoint one of the heads of houses to be a member'of the hebdomadal council should be omitted. Mr. GLADSTONE said there was no objection to the omission of the words, and they were accordingly struck out. Mr. WALPOLE said that his next amendment, which proposed that " the six professors of the council should be elected by the professors from ameng themselves," was the same in principle as that which had just been agreed to, and would probably be consented to by the Government. Mr. GLADSTONE admitted that this amendment was virtually included in the decision to which the house had come, and he would therefore agree to it. A conversation then followed with regard to the struc ture of the clause , and the distribution o the members of the council among the elective body. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed to drop the seventh professor, and that the wording of the clituse should stand thus, " six professors to be selected from themselves." Mr. HORSMAN objected to that, as it would greatly reduce the professorial element of the Hebdomadal council. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asked what the movers of the former amendment meant by the term " to be selected." Mr. WALPOLE explained that the heads of houses would select from among themselves by election those per sons whom they chose to invest with the powers of their representatives. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that he should persist in the insertion of the words, " one other such professor to be separately elected by the professors." Mr. DISRAELI did not object to this seventh profes sor, but the seventh should be elected by the professors of theology ; and he should therefore move the addition of the words "of theology." The committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against... • l4B-13 Lord J. RUSSELL said it was proposed to amend the end of the clause, so as to make it agree with the changes already made in it; but at that hour (12 o'clock) he would not proceed further with the committee. The house then resumed, and Thursday next was fixed for the further proceeding with the bill. PUBLIC PROSECUTORS BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, • Mr. R. PHILLIMORE said that as the Attorney-Gene ral had assured him of his intention to carry a measure on this subject through the house during the present session, he should not press the present bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL protested with some vehe mence against the idea that he had promised to carry a bill on a subject of such difficulty during the present session. What he had promised to do was to prepare a bill, which he hoped he should be able to introduce this year. The bill was then withdrawn. RAILWAY AND CANAL TRAFFIC REGULATION BILL. Mr. CARDWELL moved that this bill be committed pro forma, in order to insert amendments. He had been in communication with the principal railway companies, I . and he thought he should be able to make some changes in the machinery of the bill that would make it carry out its objects in a better manner. The bill then passed through committee pro forma. WITNESSES BILL. Mr. I. BUTT moved the second reading. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the object of the measure was to enable courts of justice to issue subpcenas to persons residing in any part of the United Kingdom ; but it contained no machinery for the enforcement of such subpcenas. It would be better to adopt the plan of requir ing the court in whose jurisdiction the witness lived to in dorse the writ. Mr. BUTT promised to insert a clause in committee for that purpose, and after some conversation, The bill was read a second time. WAYS AND MEANS. The report of the Committee on Ways and Means wa s brought up and agreed to. DUBLIN PORT BILL. This bill passed through committee. THE MILITIA LAWS. Lord PALMERSTON moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the militia laws. The bill was intended to alter the law in one respect only. By the act of 47th Geo. 111. .the.crown had the power of embodying the militia only in case of an invasion or danger thereof, or in case of rebellion. In the present state of things, considering how large a por tion of the regular army had been sent abroad, and con idering the time that taut elapse before troops could be enlisted to fill their place, it was of importance that Go vernment should avail themselves of the service of the militia. lie was happy to say that the country, though at war with Russia, was not in danger of invasion ; but it was important that the law should enable the crown to avail itself of the services of the militia. The object of the bill was to enable the crown to embody the militia whenever the country was in a state of war. He also proposed to take power, that if the militia were called out, and there should be occasion for continuing it for 56 days, that that should be done without the necessity of giving fresh notice. Sir J. Y. BULLER said he was sure there would be no objection on the part of the officers or the privates in the militia to go into service either for 28 or 56 days, but there was ono matter to which he would call attention. For merly, when the militia was called out, the wives and families were relieved by the parish. Since the new poor law they had only a workhouse order; and as it was im possible to maintain them out of the pay of the men, that was a great hardship. Another point was siith regard to the depots, which at present were insufficient, and if the deputy-lieutenants ordered anything to be done, the quar ter sessions had not authoi ity to pay for it. Colonel KNOX suggested that the militia should be en couraged to volunteer into the army. But he knew an in stance in which a colonel advised his mon not to enlist. Mr. GROGAN asked if the Irish militia would be called out. Lord PALMERSTON said he intended to bring in a bill to consolidate the militia law when the matters spoken of by the hon. baronet would be considered. It was not intended to call out the Irish militia at present. It was not desirable to incur an unnecessary expenditure at present. Sir J. YOUNG said it had been determined to increase the pay of the Irish constabulary 45,0001. a year. The bill was then brought in and road a first time. Mr. BEAMISH moved that the returns relating to the Grand Canal (Ireland), ordered 17th March, be laid before the house forthwith. Mr. MOFFATT said it was a question between two pri vate companies, and he moved that the order be discharged. Colonel DUNNE hoped that the house would enforce this order. Mr. P. O'BRIEN said that inasmuch as this return arose merely out of a dispute between two railway com panies, he thought that the house ought not to call for these papers. Mr. CARDWELL thought that this matter arose out of an attempt by a railway company to effect an arrange ment for taking the grand canal, which Parliament a year or two ago refused to sanction, but which it appeared had now been effected by pi ivate arrangement. Under these circumstances he thought it might be questionable whether these returns could be viewed merely as private matters. Mr. MOFFATT, upon this explanation, withdrew his amendment, and The returns were accordingly ordered. The house then adjourned at five minutes to 1 o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. — William Russell, a person in the employment of Mr. Cooke, of Goodman's-yard, tal low welter, was brought up for re-examination upon the charge of having whipped a poor lad, aged eleven years, named Charles Bryant, in the eye. The complainant, who it is feared will lose the sight of his eye, was in a cart with a man who was driving it about a fortnight ago in Cheapside. The defendant in opposition to the street regulations, drew his horse in front of the cart, but was passed by the driver and, ex asperated at the check, cut with his whip at the driver with desperate violence. The whip missed the person for whom it was intended, but almost cut the eye out of the boy, who still remains in the hospital in a very bad state. The defendant attempted to justify his conduct by asking why the driver of the cart drew across him in the street. Sir R. W. Carden said the conduct of the defendant was in every respect brutal, and remanded the case for a week in order that some arrangement serviceable to the complainant might be made in the interim. Joseph Keefe, servant to Messrs. Dawson and Co., of Sherborne-lane, and Cannon-street, newspaper agents, was brought up, charged with having stolen the sums of 31. ls. 6d. and 7/. 10s., the property of his employers, with which he had been entrusted. The money, it appeared, had been given by the cashier of the prosecutors to the prisoner for the purposes of the establishment, and misappropriated by him. Committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A well-dressed wo man, who gave the name of Mary 8r0W71 , , was charged with having picked the pocket of a lady named Gar ratt, residing at No. 51, Porchester-terrace, Bays water. Mrs. Garratt said on Saturday afternoon she was walking in Regent-street, when the prisoner and another female came before her, and after proceeding some distance suddenly turned round, and the pri soner put her hand into her (complainant's) pocket, and took her purse, which contained three half so vereigns and some silver. The prisoner and her companion walked away. She followed, and touching the prisoner's arm, begged her pardon, and said she had picked her pocket. The prisoner affected to be indignant, at the charge, and her companion also denied that any thing wrong had been done. The prisoner's companion then went close up to the prisoner, and complainant dis tinctly saw the prisoner pass the purse to her. The pri soner told her she was quite willing to be searched. Complainant answered that would be of no use, as she had seen her give the purse to her companion. The pri soner then said if complainant would forgive her she would give the purse up. The prisoner's companion gave her the purse, and then went away. The prisoner called a cab, but complainant told her she would not allow her to escape, and when the cab came up she compelled the driver to drive them to the station house, where she made the charge against the prisoner. The prisoner's solicitor cross-examined Mrs. Gar ratt, but could not succeed in shaking her testimony in the slightest degree. Mr. Bingham complimented Mrs. Garratt on her pre sence of mind, and the great judgment she had dis played throughout in such a trying situation, and in her evidence before the court. The prisoner was fully committed. William, Turner was charged with having uttered serveral forged 51. bank notes to various tradesmen. John Lowe, landlord of the Grosvenor Arms, said the prisoner came to his house on the 10th of February, and ordered half a gallon of gin, remarking that he was a customer of the late landord's. The prisoner handed bitn what purported to be a Si. note, and received the change. The next case was for passing a forged Si. note to Mr. William Thornback, landlord of the Red Cross public house, on the 10th of March. The offence was committed under precisely the same circumstances as in the first case. _ _ The third case was for passing a forged 51. note to Sarah Horn, landlady of the Three Tuns public-house, Portman-square, in payment of a pint of brandy. Mr. Henry Wybird, Bank of England inspector, proved that all the notes were forgeries. The prisoner was fully committed. Inspector Whall, the senior inspector of the C divi sion, a very steady and active officer, intimated to the magistrates of this court that his connexion with the police ceased from that day, he having served the lull time, retiring with full pension and first-class certificate. The magistrates paid the inspector a just compliment for the mode in which he had discharged his duties through out his period of service. THAMES.—NieI 31 'Clean, 29, a seaman and pas senger on board the Joshua, from Australia, was charged with stealing 60 ounces of gold-dust on board that ves sel whilst on the high seas. When taken into custody there was found in his possession one bag, containing eight small pieces of gold, one large piece of gold, eight sovereigns, three pieces of quartz, one gold pin, five gold studs, and a cigar-case. Mr. Wontner, for the prosecution, said he attended on the part of Mr. Thomas Nauntin Virtue, whose father resided at Amersham-park, Newington, and there was something peculiar in the features of the case. His client, like many other young gentle men, had been smitten with the gold mania, and had gone out to the diggings, where he realised gold dust and nuggets to a considerable amount. Whilst at the pursuit he and eight friends dug a shaft to the depth of 100 feet, and in one day realised gold to the value of 1,0001. Having been so successful, he resolved to see his friends in England, and took his passage from Melbourne in the Joshua. The prisoner, was also a passenger in the same vessel, and had a berth beneath his. Mr. Virtue kept his gold dust in a cigar case covered over with a quantity of shag tobacco, and left it in his berth. In about three days after leaving Mel bourne, he missed his box, and on informing the captain a search was made, but it was nowhere to be found. Shortly after Mr. Virtue missed a bottle of gin from his berth, and seeing the prisoner drunk suspected that he had not only stolen the gin but the gold dust and nug gets also. On missing his property, Mr. Virtue de ,sciibed the gold dust and nuggets to the captain and pas sengers. It would be shown that the carpenter of the Joshua saw the prisoner throw something like a cigar case overboard, and that he bad given a woman named Levi, who would probably be yet forthcoming, she being one of the passengers, a quantity of gold dust to take charge of. The prisoner, in course of conversation, showed Mr. Virtue a nugget which the latter felt satis fied had formed part of his stolen property. The pri soner's belt, in which he had his gold, was then examined , and the captain, as well as the passengers to whom Mr. Virtue, on discovering his loss had described his pro perty, at once expressed their opinion that it tallied with the description. It was thence inferred that he had given his own gold to the woman Levi, who is not as yet forthcoming. Mr. Virtue had procured most of his gold at Balarat, and the gold found on the prisoner was of that quality. The prisoner said that he, too, had been at Ballarat, but when questioned as to the place showed himself totally ignorant of the locality. Mr. Virtue was then called, and gave evidence con firmatory of the above statement. Witness, after his loss, and when his suspicions against the prisoner were excited, asked the prisoner to show him his gold, but he replied, "No, I have been put, up to that." Mr. Ingham—What did he mean ? Witness—l suppose that he had been put on his guard. He told me he got most of his gold at Califor nia, and about forty ounces at Ballarat, whereas the gold found upon him had very little Californian, the principal part being the produce of Ballarat and Ben digo. The prisoner, who was given into custody on the ar• rival of the vessel on this port on Saturday, when called on for his defence, said he wished to have the case re manded, so that he could procure professional assist ance. He insinuated that it was a trick on the part of the prosecutor to cheat him out of his gold, and that to prosecute it he had requested Mrs. Levi to show him his (prisoner's) gold. The case was remanded until Friday. SPORTING INTELT,IG.EISTE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. • MONDAY.—MATCH Ab. M. 100, h ft.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 1. The Break of Day, hence to Boston, was spoken April 21, lat. 47, long. 49, putting back to the nearest port, hav ing lost all her topmasts, foreyard and jibboom, in a gale, April 17. The Albion, from Virginia, at this port, while lying-to under close-reefed maintopsails during a heavy gale from S.E., April 9, was thrown on her beam ends, and lay for five hours, when she was got before the wind and righted , with 7 feet of water in her hold. The Charles Buck from New Orleans, was in contact with another vessel, April 20, about 200 miles W. of Cape Clear, and had her bow badly stove, with loss of anchor and chain and part of head gear. The other vessel lost bowsprit head, &c. The Great Britain (screw steamer), which put b )ck yes terday, was expected to be able to dock to-night for re pairs ; in which case she will be able to resail in ten days. If she cannot dock it may be a month before she is ready. The Shackamaxon, from hence, is ashore about 40 miles from Philadelphia. The Scotland, hence for Mobile, has arrived at Belfast, with damage, after being in contact with the Colbert, from Calcutta for Havre, which sunk ; crew saved. DEAL, May I.—Arrived—Robert, from SL Vincent • Mercy, Brigham, both for London. — T h e bar q ue S t ! Geneve, of Port Glasgow, from Callao, for Leith, drove down close to her Majesty's steamer Penelope, and was obliged to slip from anchor and chain to avoid collision, and is being supplied with others hence. SOUTHAMPTON, April 29.—The Marco Polo, from Liver pool, which was on shore at Melbourne, Jan. 30, had been hove off the strand there, and taken up into Hobson's Bay. The vessel had made no water since being on shore, and did not appear to have sustained much injury. ELSINEUE, April 27.—The following vessel( have this morning taken refuge in the harbour in consequence of the war, viz. :—Juno, of Nye Carleby, from Lisbon; Gustav, of Uleaborg, from Liverpool ; and the Sirjrid (brig), of and from Cette.

He had the best medical advice from both army and navy surgeons, but the disease yielded not to their treatment, and various other remedies were tried with a like result. At last he began to use Holloway's pills, and this fine medicine has so strengthened the tone of his stomach and invigorated his constitution, that he is mesh perfectly cured, and en joys the best of health. —Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. MR. ROWLAND HILL AND THE POST-OFFICE. For more than a half_century there have only been two secretaries to the Post-office department—viz., Sir Francis Freeling and Colonel Maberly. Sir Francis was brought up in the Post-office, and had performed the humblest as well as the highest duties of the department. He was a protege of Mr. Palmer, the great Post-office reformer, on account of hie intelligence and his lingness to carry out Mr. Palmer's views. At Sir Francis's death, however, the Post-office was in dis• repute. There was a loud cry for reform ; its revenue was decreasing, and there was a general belief that the department had not kept pace with the spirit an d , warts of the ag e . At t hi s t i me, Li eutenant- C o l o nel Maberly, a member of the House of Commons, had distinguished himself in the house for his business habits, and he was selected by the Whig government to succeed Sir Francis Freeling. He, of course, was 1 ;, stranger to the business o f th e d epar t ment. H e h a d no been secretary many years before Mr. Rowland Hill pro' pounded the penny postage plan. Colonel Maberly was first opposed to its introduction. It was however carried, and Mr. Hill was after a time installed into the depot' nient, with co-ordinate authority with the colonel. TO created some slight embarrassment. Colonel Mal erll has therefore retired, and Mr. Hill has now succeede d him with undivided power, to carry out in its integrity that great measure on which his fame will securely rest, and the utility of which has been long ratified by the, Government and the count r y. M r . Hill h as no w ha many years' experience of the whole machinery an d working of the Post-office, and will have nothing learn in that respect. It is singular that all postal reformers have b een unacqua i n t e d w i t h t h e d e pary ments which they have revolutionised. Men intimately acquainted with the machinery of the Post-office, who know every cog, pin, and wheel, as it were, that keep the machine moving, see insuperable difficulties in al great reform. Reformers, however, perceive nothing but the simple and great principle they have discovered , and they instinctively and rightly think that it is pis' Bible to remove every obstacle that prevents that prin; ciple from being carried out. It is in the perseverance and enthusiasm of such reformers that mankind have been benefited. Mr. Rowland Hill has now had his aspire' tions gratified. Raised by the Government an d the country, he is placed in a supreme position, by which he will be enabled to mould a great governmental depart' ment of a great country, so that it shall be a blessing t ° the whole world, assisting commerce, promoting educa' tion, providing abundant facilities for social intercourse , and contributing as much, perhaps, as anything can cow tribute to the peace and prosperity of the world.

England and Fran; have both decided not to issue letters of marqu e Americans ; and it is believed that our Government, expressed to thos e P owers it s d eterm i nat i on not to,rs lerate the fitting ou t o f p r i va t eers w i t hi n i ts j ur i s diet'' to operate agai ns t th e vesse l s o f e i t h er o f the be lli ge rents' If this determi na ti on s h ou ld b e f a i t h fu ll y carr i e d out, it to will obviate the greatest danger which exists, of e rg being ultimately i nvo l ve d i n the conflict. A few Y e d .: 4 lo ago the United St a t es was at war w i th M ex i co . ' O , commerce was floating on every sea, and if privateeof had been fitted out in England and France, or e ither them, with letters of marque f rom M ex i co , th e dault i .r. done to our com merc i a l i n t eres t s wou ld h ave been 1 le meme. But during the whole of that war not a ei n g s , American merchantman w a s ca pt ure d o n the high seats This shows that th e English and French Governm e ' i afforded no countenance to such acts of rob beri t —nay, that they exerted th e ir i n flu en ce to prey c ity them. The United States now has an opport o d o to return the compliment. By all means let her ho t so, not merely because it is a just reciprocity, "is because it is right in itself, and its opposite o wrong. A convention between the United St, 3t . 00 and England and France is probably under negotiat e 8 at this moment, which will henceforth prevent P ri e be teering, and will also establish by mutual consent the principle long contend e d fo r by th e U n it e d S ta t e s, t",.. neutral ships make free goods, except contraband din, The admission of this principl e on th e part o f the I l i , ligerents will create an immense demand for our l e s , sels during the war, b o th s t eamers and sailing 17.,, sels. For all frei g ht s an d passengers, i t will ge-be our vessels a decid e d p re f erence over Engl i s h , Frend; ; Russian, and, in f ac t, over t h e vessels o f any °",.en nation. We h o p e our peop l e, as well as our Gove•_, merit, will hav e th e w i s d om to use t h e i r pr ivilec without abu s i ng th em.
