SOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CILANOELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The Earl of HARROWBY presented a petition in favour of the establishment of reformatory schools. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented, on behalf of the Bishop of Durham, a similar petition from the city of Durham. Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table a bill for assi milating the bankruptcy and insolvency laws of England and Scotland, which he stated had obtained the general approval of the mercantile classes of Scotland, as well as of the Scotch judges. On the motion of the noble lord, the bill was read a first time. COUNTY COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM, in moving for a return of the fees received by the County Courts, deprecated the system of paying the judges and officers of those courts out of fees paid by suitors, instead of out of the conso lidated fund. He stated that no less a sum than 125,000/. was extorted in one year from the suitors for that pur pose. RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES OF CHRISTIANS IN TURKEY. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY rose to move for papers in continuance of those formerly presented on the state of religious liberty enjoyed by the Christians under the Turkish Government. Recently, he said, there had been published a manifesto of the Em peror Nicholas to the Russians, containing an assertion that England and France, siding with the enemies of Christianity, had declared war against Russia and the orthodox faith. Now, he thought it was the bounden duty of their lordships, and especially of those who had taken an active interest in the religious societies of this country, to resist such an imputation as that. (Hear, hear.) He was himself prepared to give .the accusation the most direct contradiction. Moreover, he would undertake to prove, that while Turkey had done everything to ad vance, Russia had done everything to suppress, the pro gress of Christianity among millions of mankind. He considered that his noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs could not, with one par ticle of sincerity, have brought his negotiations with the Czar to any other issue than he had done. The Emperor of Russia had but one longing desire, viz., to obtain absolute dominion over Turkey, and this he had manifested in his haughty assumption to the protecto rate over the Christian subjects of the Sultan.

Could the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department supply the house with ca3y information upon the point? Lord PALMERSTON said the matter to which the question referred did not concern the Government, but I S recluresl some previous understanding and communica nn with o th er countries upon it. In the course of next ' w eek, however, it was hoped the Government would be in a Position to make some announcement on the subject. OATS . Sir F. TRESIGER said the BILL Oaths Bill stood for second readi n g - on Monday week. Could the noble lord oay whether it would be brought forward on that day ? Lord PALMERSTON said his noble friend the mem ber for the city of was absent through London who had charge of the bill, answerindisposition, and he could give no to the question. He could state, however, that the Oxford University Bill would be propared this day week. Mr. BAINES said he had the authority of his noble friend the member for the city of London for stating that the Poor Removal Bill would be taken on Monday week. MEDICAL REFORM. Mr. Mr. GROGA Home Departmen t if he intendedN' asked the Secreta r y t of State for the introduce th e bill for medical reform before the Easter reces s , Lord PALMERS TON said the sub ject was a large and difficult one, and he could not un dertake t that a bill could be prep ared before Easter.

FRENCH said he had given notice of his intention to put a question to the right hon. baronet the First Lord of the Admiralty, relative to the extraor dinary powers which it was said the right hon. baronet had given to Sir Charles Napier, the Commander of the Baltic fleet • but as the right hon. baronet could not be present till 'Monday, he had no alternative but to post pone his question until that day. Sir T. HERBERT also postponed his question, as follows :—To ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether certain words attributed to him in a speech de livered at a dinner given in the Reform Club to Admiral Sir Charles Napier, have been correctly reported, which appears in the Times of the Bth day of March, viz. We' as reformers, may be proudthat honour of the Abe British flag in the Euxine and the Baltic, is entrusted • , •CIMMti to two such champions as Admiral Dundas and Sir Charles Napier." INDISPOSITION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Mr. G. MOORE understanding that the noble lord the member for the city of London was too much indis posed to be in his place to-night, he begged t postpone a question of which he had given him notice, relative to the reported appointment of Mr. Storer to be a puisne judge of Melbourne. He should put the question on Monday, and it would be, whether the noble lord was aware at the time of the appointment that Mr. Storer had been declared guilty of bribery. RUSSIAN PRODUCE IN NEUTRAL SHIPS. In reply to a question by Viscount JOCE LYN , Mr. WILSON said the question, as he understood it, amounted to this—Whether Russian produce from a neutral port, belonging to a British or neutral subject in British or neutral ships, shall be respected in the event of a war. There could be no difficulty in answer ing the question, and he had no hesitation in saying such produce would be respected. (Hear, hear.)

On Ash Wednesday, as has been usual, the annual general meeting of the members of this body, established in 1839, and last year incorporated by royal charter, for granting permanent pensions to decayed or infirm mem bers who may have practised the art of acting, dancing, or singing, as a moans of subsistence, in Great Britain and Ireland, was held in the saloon of the Lyceum Theatre. The chair was, in the first instance, filled by Mr. Addison, afterwards by Mr. Buckstone. Mr. CULLENFORD, the secretary, stated that a grant of 201. had been made by the committee to the fund for the relief of the children of Mrs. Warner, which required the confirmation of the general meeting. The matter had been brought under the consideration of the direc tors by Mr. Charles Bean. According to strict rule the directors could not touch the funds except for the benefit of the members, and therefore this grant was irregular, but it was not without precedent, and it would be per fectly regular when confirmed by the meeting. Mr. WORRELL was happy to move a resolution con firming the grant. Mr. CULLENFORD reminded the meeting that the di rectors had made the grant with the clear understanding that, if the meeting would not sanction it, they would themselves bear the expense, and had, therefore, contri buted it at the time when it had been sought, and when perhaps it had been most needed. (Cheers.) Mr. YoUNGE seconded the motion, which was unani mously agreed to. Mr. CULLENFORD said that during the past year twenty new members bad been enrolled—a larger number than in any other single year ; four members . had died, and one had withdrawn, so that there was a clear gain of fifteen members on the year. There were now 131 subscribing members, and seven annuitants upon the books of the association. They were now also, after the payment of all expenses, richer by 6901. 7s. Bd. than they had been that time twelve months—a result which he hoped would be satisfactory to them all. Mr. SAVILLE wished to know how the directors deter mined the sum to be allocated for the payment of annui ties. Mr. CJLLENFORD informed him that they halved the sum of the adtuission fees and members' subscriptions, after the payment of all expenses, and applied a moiety to the annuity fund. The sum of 43:31. 3s. 4d., men tioned as annuitants' fund in the balance sheet, was the amount so apportioned last year, but had not been alto gether required. The balance 1281. 7s. Bd. had been carried to the reserve fund. The report was then adopted. A vo'e of thanks to the Chairman, who, in acknow ledging the compliment, congratulated the meeting on the increasing prosperity of the association, terminated the proceedings. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) SANITARY CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY. The Earl of HARROWBY called attention to the sanitary condition of the country, more especially with regard to the metropolis ; and, in moving for papers, asked the Government what steps they intended to take in order to meet the visitation of cholera which appeared to be impending. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that unhappily there was no doubt that the cholera was approaching this country. Having described the authority and the proceedings of the Board of Health, he pointed out numerous causes which endangered the public health, and detailed a series of preventive measures which might be expected either to defeat or greatly to mitigate the distressing consequences of the pestilence. The Board of Health, however, required additional powers. They should be enabled to give orders, in certain cases, for permanent sanitary works to be executed, with power to charge the expense to the board of guardians. Houses of refuge should also be provided, either for single or combined parishes, to receive the healthy and sound population in overcrowded places where the epidemic broke out. Earl GRANVILLE said the Government were in debted to the two noble earls who had just spoken, for their attention to this important subject. His noble friend the Home Secretary was now engaged in making inquiries in relation to it ; and he was considering what further powers could be given to the Board of Health without unnecessarily interfering with local exertions. After a short conversation the subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. MINISTERS MONEY IN IRELAND. Mr. FAGAN moved that the house resolve itself into a committee to take into consideration the law re lating to the rate or tax called " Ministers' Money" in Ireland, with the view to repeal the same ; and further, to provide a substitute therefor out of the revenues of the Ecc:esiastical Commissioners as a provision for the Protestant ministers in certain corporate towns in Ire land, in lieu of the annual sums now received by them under and by virtue of the Act 17 and 18 Charles 11. c. 7. The hon,gentleman stated that this was the sixth time since he had been in Parliament that he had tried to induce the house to repeal this unjust tax. Mr. HUME seconded the motion, believing that the continuance of this tax was just as much a source of re ligious discord in Ireland as church rates were in Eng land. Sir J. YOUNG moved as an amendment, that the acts relating to ministers' money in Ireland, and the Church Temporalities Act (Ireland), be now read. Should the house agree to this amendment, he should move that the house do go into committee for the pur pose of obtaining leave to bring in a bill on the subject. The effect of the bill would practically abolish the tax by providing a substitute for it. The bill would exempt houses under 101. from payment of the tax, as well as all houses to be built in future, and the difference which would thus be created would be made up partly by the consolidated fund and partly by the funds of the Eccle siastical Commissioners. With regard to the proposition he had made, he had consulted persons well known in Cork, Limerick, and Dublin, and whose names, if he were permitted to mention them, would command re spect ; and they stated tnat this proposition would meet the requirements of thoee towns. The clergy would he withdrawn altogether from the collection of the tax, which would be paid to the commissioners. He put this plan forward as a compromise, knowing that .it was liable to the objections that might be male to it, but he believed if it were accepted it would go far to remove the evils which arose out of the present system. Mr. HADFIELD said he could feel for the pain the right hon. gentleman must have felt in proposing a com promise for such a paltry sum. Only one-sixth of the people of Ireland belonged to the Established Church, which had a revenue of 600,000/. a year, and yet she could not afford to give up 15,000/. a year, not of pro perty, but a tax, and which was levied principally on the Catholics. He hoped the house would be content with no compromise, but that this tax would be abo lished, and then there would be a fair hearing for Pro testantism in Ireland. Mr. MAGUIRE said he would endeavour to show why those who were anxious for the peace of Ireland, and who advocated civil and religious liberty, shout I respectfully decline the proposition of the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary for Ireland. The last peti tion from Cork against the measure was signed by at least 12,000 to 15,000 persons ; and indeed there was no Protestant layman in that city who was not anxious to have the question set at rest for ever. (Hear, hear.) Last year the Lord Advocate, in introducing a bill respecting what was called the an nuity tax, stated that his measure substantially em bodied the recommendations of the committee which had sat on the subject. Now, why did not the Government carry out the suggestions of the committee on ministers' money ? (Hear, hear.) But they did the very opposite of that. They came down to the house, and asked the Irish members to accept a paltry compromise, which was at once unworthy of those who proposed it, and which would be degrading to those who should accept it. (Cheers.) The measure had been represented as a boon ; and the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Fagan) had been so far deceived by the unscrupulous assertions which had been made about it last year, that he wrote a letter to a newspaper stating that it would take off 9,0001., leaving only 6,0001. or 7,0001. to be collected. The right hon. baronet had stated that there were 80,000 persons in the city of Cork alone whom it would excuse from payment. But what was the fact ? From a re turn, prepared by the clerk of the Cork Union, it ap peared that in that union there were no fewer than 5,113 houses rated to the poor-law at 1/. a-year. Did any clergyman at the present time ever think of collecting ministers' money from the occupiers of these miserable tenements ? Certainly not. Such persons were already excused by their poverty and the generosity of the Pro testant clergy, or their unwillingness to cause such scan dal as the attempt would give rise to. (Hear, hear.) The same thing applied to all that held houses rated at sums below 51., of which there were no fewer than 7,877, while the number of houses rated at 8/. was only 298. (Hear, hear.) The total amount of the valuation of Dublin was 622,0001., while the total valuation of the houses rated at 81. and up to 101. was 50,0001., that was to say, one-eleventh instead of three-sevenths. The total valuation of Cork was 120,0001., and that of the houses rated at 81. and up to 101. 22,8681., or one-fifth. There would not, in fact, be 1,000 houses exempted in Cork by the bill. (Hear, hear.) But this was not all. The measure (supposing it to be the same as last year) actually provided that the corporations of Ireland which had so strenuously protested against ministers' money should be the imposers, the collectors, and the distrain era of the tax. Was that fair? (Hear, hear.) The right hon. baronet talked about the principle of not meddling with church property even for the purposes of the church ; but by the Bth section the Ecclesias tical Commissioners were to pay the incumbents 80 per cent., and if the funds to be raised under the bill should not be sufficient, then they were to make up the deficiency out of the moneys that were in their hands. Where, then, was the right hon. gentleman's prin ciple ? Why, having thus given it up, did he not go further ? (Cheers.) The bill proposed to give the house owners a boon. It permitted them to compound for the tax at the rate of sixteen two-third years ; whereas everybody knew that seventeen two-third years' pur chase had been considered a very high price for the lands which had been sold in the Encumbered Estates Court. He would leave the house to consider this very hand some offer, especially when they remembered that every successive Government had promised redress of the grievance. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member then quoted the admissions of several Protestant clergyman against the justice and policy of the tax ; and observed that one of these gentlemen, the Rev. Mr. Howell, had sub mitted a plan similar to that of the Government to Sir W. Somerville when Chief Secretary, so that the mea sure of the right hon. gentleman opposite had not even the merit of originality. Mr. Howell candidly admitted that his object was to collect the tax disguised under another form. (Hear, hear) But would any disguise render the impost less odious to the Roman Catholics that paid it ? That the Roman Catholics did chiefly pay it admitted of ready proof ; for in Cork the Protestant population was only 15,000, while the Roman Catholics numbered 79,000. In Kinsale there were 1,070 Pro testants and 5,234 Roman Catholics. In Limerick there were 4,500 Protestants and 50,000 Roman Catholics, and in Waterford there were 4,253 Protestants and over 22,000 Roman Catholics. There was no bigotry at all on the subject in Ireland, for all the respectable Protes tants wished to get rid of the system. He would ap peal to the right hon. gentleman himself, how he would like to have to pay for the support of Roman Catholi cism? Would it be consonant with his feelings of pride to submit to such a tax ? The right hon. gentleman would not submit to it for a month. He would rouse all England if such an attempt were made upon' him. (Hear, hear.) As a question of charity, if they excused men who were rated at 101., why should they insist on those who were rated at 11/. or 121. pay ing it ? There were many persons rated up to 201. who could ill bear the impost. As a matter of prin ciple, he would ask the house whether the tax was likely to be less hurtful to the feelings of the man who was rated at 121. than to those of persons rated at Si.? (Hear, hear.) Having read the opinion of several mem bers of the Government on this question, and cited nu merous instances where seizures had been made to re cover the tax, the hon. member concluded by conjuring those who had the interest of Ireland at heart to reject the amendment as a mean and contemptible compro mise. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CROSSLEY observed that this tax of ministers' money must have one or two objects, either it was to secure a good living for the minister, or to promote the cure of souls. If it was the former, he thought it was wrong, because those who were taxed did not require services of the ministers. If, on the other hand, it was to save the souls of Christians, he did not think it was going the right way to obtain that object to take money from a man against his will. The notorious Joseph Ady when he applied to parties, told them that if they would send him a certain sum of money he would tell them something to their advantage, but here the mini sters did not ask for the money, they demanded, they seized upon it, and then said, "if you will come and listen to us you will hear something to your advantage." (A laugh.) Now that was not the way to promote Christianity, at all events it -was not the way the founder of Christianity and his disciples promoted it, and he thought the best thing the house could do was to abo lish the tax altogether. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NAPIER felt bound in honour and conscience to support the amendment, because when he sat on the other side of the house there was a kind of pledge given that this question should be settled. Not, however, that he agreed • with all the views expressed by the right hon. baronetwho had moved it, or at all sympathised with him when he con fessed himself favourable to giving Roman Catholic clergymen some assistance or support from the state. With regard to the tax itself, he could not concur with I those who talked so loudly of its injustice. It was charged by the crown upon its own property in the reign of Charles 11., when Protestants were invited over to Ireland, and those who had succeeded to the pro perty had taken to it with the full knowledge that the charge existed. Where, then, was the injustice ? As well might they say that a Roman Catholic who came into possession of an estate under the Ricumbered Estates Act has a right to repudiate the just and law ful charges he found upon it because the previous owner who first imposed them was a Protestant. The two cases were precisely analagous, and there was no more injustice in the one than the other. He decidedly ob jected, then, to relieving the owner of the property sub• ject to this tax in the manner about to be proposed by the Government. The fund placed at the disposal of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners was chiefly devoted to equalising the stipends of Protestant clergymen in the counties, and it would ho the height of injustice to re duce their incomes for the sake of keeping up those of their brethren in towns whose incomes had hith Tto been charged upon the proprietors of the houses that were to be relieved by the right hon. baronet's measure. If it was viewe 1 simply as a question between man and man, as it undoubtedly was, the injustice of the pro posed change would become too glaring to be tolerated for a single moment ; but views and sentiments of a re ligious character had been improperly imported into the dispute, and by that means no doubt the injustice he complained of would ultimately be effected. Divesting the question of all religious feeling, he appealed to the good sense of the house whether the measure proposed would not open up the whole question of church tempo ralities. Some members had a great idea of the value of the voluntary principle ; there was room enough for that principle, but could not they let the church alone ? (Hear, hear.) The fact was, they wanted to make their volun tary principle compulsory. (Laughter.) He thought the house would act wisely bs adopting the amendment. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said that he had listened attentively to the speech of Sir J. Young, and the rea son he had given would induce him to vote for the motion. (Hear, hear.) He admitted that it was an anomaly and an injustice that Roman Catholics should be required to pay this tax ; but the proposition he founded on this was altogether a delusion. He laid down as a principle that the property of the established church ought not to be interfered with ; but his own bill actually committed this interference, for he proposed to take from the Protestant clergy 25 per cent, of their income from this source ; therefore his amendment was condemned by his own argument. Would he seek to make up the difference out of the Consolidated Fund? The Chancel lor of the Exchequer himself would not allow this. (Hear, bear.) If parties were left to themselves it would be seen how ready and willing they were to assist themselves. Sidney Smith had well said that the Esta blished Church was a church of beggars and bishops. (Hear, hear.) In his own parish a sum of 30,0001. had recently been raised by voluntary contributions from the poorest of the inhabitants for the erection of a church. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. baronet the Secretary for Ireland could never show the justice of a law which taxed the Roman Catholics of Ireland for the support of the church of the rich minority. He was in error as to the property of corporate towns having been confiscated and re-settled in the time of Wm, 111. This was not the case ; the corporations were removed from their office, and replaced by Protestants, but their property was not confiscated. (Elear.) It had been laid down by Lord Campbell that this was not a tax upon property, but upon persons; for if the houses were unoccupied they . did not pay the tax. In Dublin it was known that the majority of the householders were Reman Catholics, not withstanding the number of Protestants in that city ; the proportion of Cathodes was still greater in Limerick, Cork, and other large towns ; how then could it he said that the Catholics were not taxed by this ministers' money ? (Hear, hear.) For 200 years the Catholics had raised their voices against this unjust impost; and now a remedy was proposed which was sufficiently con demned by the statement of Mr. Napier, that it was the very measure which the late Government would have proposed. (Hear, hear.) It appeared to relieve Dublin to the extant of one-ninto ; but it should be remembered that the impost could never be levied from the poor in habitants ; and now it was proposed to enforce it by legal process. (Hear, hear.) Mr. POTTER referred to the losses which the Pro testant clergy in Ireland had recently suffered, and con demned the proposal to strip them of other 25 per cent. of their income. It was fortunate for the place he re presented that, owing to some ancient arrangement, the inhabitants had never been subject to this tax. He thought that a substitute for this tax might easily be found in the surplus revenues of Trinity College. (Hear.) Mr. COWAN said that his constituents had suffered severely from a similar tax, the annuity tax. The Govern ment had supported a bill for its abolition last year, which was not carried ; but he hoped it would be re-introduced and passed. Nothing could be more prejudicial than the disputes and bickerings which this tax gave rise to. If this was a grievance, it was one of the first duties of the house to redress it ; for there was nothing worse for the people than class legislation and class taxation. He hoped that justice would be done in Edinburgh as well as in Ireland. The house then divided— For the amendment Against it BB-15 Sir J. YOUNG said he proposed to introduce the bill next day. Mr. HAISFIELD gave notice that he should offer every opposition to it. KINGSTON-UPON-HULL REPORT. Mr. HUME moved that the report of Mr. Solly Platt, one of the commissioners who conducted the in quiry into the case of Kingston-upon-Hull, be laid on the table of the house. He did not ask to have it printed, but merely that it should be in the house, so as, if neces sary, to be accessible to members. Mr. FITZROY had no objection to the laying of the petition on the table, but he would object to its being printed, as a tremendous expense had already been in curred in this inquiry. The motion was then agreed to. THE SUSPENDED WRITS. Lord J. RUSSELL said that in moving to postpone the issue of writs for the boroughs which formed the sub ject of inquiry before the various commissions, he did not intend to move the postponement of any of the writs for the period he had named in the notice papor (6th of April), but only till the 17th of March. The reason why he took this course was that the house certainly was not in a condition to judge whether all of these writs should be issued or not. That was especially the case with regard to the borough of Tynemouth. It was also desirable, before the house came to any de cision with respect to the issuing of these writs, that the house should be put in possession of the intentions of the Government with respect to the Bribery Prevention Bills which his hon. and learned friend (the Attorney- General) would state on Monday next. (Hear.) With regard to the borough of Tynemouth, the report, he un derstood, would be delivered to-morrow morning. The borough of Tynemouth was, as far as he was able to con sult the report, in a different position from the other boroughs. But when the house was in possession of that report, and the evidence, they would judge if any dis tinction should be made with regard to that borough or any other borough. He would now only move that no warrants for new writs for Barnstaple, Cambridge, Can terbury, Hull, Maldon, and Tynemouth, be issued be fore Friday, the 17th of March next. Mr. DISRAELI thought the noble lord had adopted the best course in postponing the issue of the writs till the bills of the hon. and learned gentleman (the Attor ney-General) were before the house. (Hear.) Those bills were on the paper for that night, and he expected that the hon. and learned gentleman would have made his statement now. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the bills were placed on the paper for that night instead of Monday, by mistake of the clerk. The motion was agreed to. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. BASS moved an address for returns showing the various weights and measures customarily used for the sale of corn and grain in the different unions in the counties of Stafford and Salop. Mr. HUME hoped his hon. friend would extend the terms of his motion to the whole country, as from their variety and different names it was impossible to under stand the language of buying and selling corn. (Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. PUBLIC PROSECUTORS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL requested his hon. and learned friend (Mr. J. G. Phillimore) not to move the second reading of this bill, as he (the Attorney-General) was in communication with his hon. and learned friend the Lord-Advocate, and his hon. and learned friend the Solicitor-General for Ireland, with a view to the intro duction on the part of the Government of a general measure on this subject. If his hon. and learned friend left the matter in the hands of the Government, he could assure him no time would be lost in bringing in a bill on the subject. Mr. PHILLIMORE having assented, the second reading was postponed for three weeks. The house adjourned at half-past 9.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Joseph Picard was charged, before Alderman Salomons, with having insulted a lady and assaulted a gentleman. •Mr. J. Chapman, a merchant, whose offices are in Crutched-friars, said, on Monday evening, at a quarter past five o'clock, I saw in Fenchurch-street the defen dant walking behind a lady, the wife of a friend of mine, named King. I observed him going close to her, then in front of her and looking under her bonnet, and then deliberately stopping her and speaking. She turned away very indignantly ; and I went up and asked him why Ae did so, and he struck me a violent blow in the face. The lady confirmed the statement, and added that the defendant made some impertinent remarks to her, and laughed in her face. She desired him to go about his business. She was aware that her friend, Mr. Chap man, was behind her. Mr. Cnaprnan put his hand on the defendant's arm, and immediately received a blow from him, which the former returned. The witness went into a shop for shelter. The defendant had an ney.d her along the street, and behaved in the most in sulting manner. Another witness confirmed the statements made. Upon the part of the defendant, Mr. Wright, a clerk, who was on the spot, said that an obstruction took place near Hankey's bank, and he heard the lady deny that any offence had been given. A scuffling then took place between the two gentlemen, and the defendant got the worst of it. Aldermon Salomons said it appeared t 3 him that Mr. Chapman had adequately retaliated as to the assault, and therefore no penalty should be inflicted in that case. With respect to the insult to the lady there could be no excuse or palliation in that case, and although the citi zens of London were disposed to be forbearing towards foreigners, it was quite impossible to let such conduct as had been described pass without the infliction of a pe nalty of 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—G. Lawrance, gen tleman, 17, Rutland-gate ; C. F. Evelyn, gentleman, Horns Lodge, Tunbridge Wells ; H. Vernon, gentle man, 36, Bury-street ; A. Newton, 58, Curzon-street ; A. J. E ist, gentleman, 118, Great Portland-street (false name and address, and therefore not admitted to bail) ; J. Townsend, 11, Sherrard-street ; H. Johnson, 23, Porter-street ; C. Slw:len, 23, Porter-street ; W. Hemmings, 18, Upper St. Martin's-lane ; J. Ford, 13, Sherrard-street ; and C. Stewart, door-keeper, 32, Castle street, were brought before jr. Bingham, charged with having been found in a common gaming -house, the Strangers' Club Morris's), No. 66, St. James-street. Mr. O'Brien, the superintendent of the C division, having produced his authority for entering the house, 66, St. James's-street, said—This morning, about a quar ter to three o'clock, I went with Inspector Lester and some constables to the house, and as I approached the door I saw a person who was stationed outside pull the door bell. We entered the passage without obstruction. Stewart opened the next door, and Ford the door beyond that, which brought us to the stairs. On the landing I found a door covered with baize and iron, very strong. I told the constables to force that door. The trial was made, but without effect. I told the constables to try the posts and side of the stairs, but on doing this it was found they had been strengthened since the last visit of the police, with thick plates of iron. As it was useless to attempt to force an entrance there, I told the constable to try the bottom part of the staircase, and after some considerable damage was done, the door was opened. I entered the room on the first floor, and found none of the defend ants. The room was fitted up as a billiard room, with the windows strongly secured. I found on the landing, higher up, a water closet. I also found a strong door on the upper floor, which would prevent admission from the top part of the house. Some of the defendants gave their right names, three of them gave incorrect names, and one gave a name and address which was not acknow ledged, and bail for him was refused. I searched the house, but found no gaming implements. I saw the persons of the defendants searched ; they bad a good deal of money about them, but no implements of gaming. Mr. Ballantine, for the defendants, made no remark. Mr. Bingham directed all the defendants to be dis charged. TVellingtort Talbot, Esq., appeared before Mr. Bing ham at the instance of cabdriver George Pain fur offer ing, as alleged, less than the legal fare. The cabdriver said the gentleman told him be would take his cab for an hour. He drove the gentleman round the Regent's-park, a distance of more than five miles. He demanded 3s. The gentlema❑ offered 2s. Mr. Talbot said, when be hired the defendant he told him he only wanted an hour's drive, and he might drive as slow as he pleased. Mr. Bingham considered that the hiring by time was clearly established, and that the driver had no right to charge according to distance. The decision was that the fare was to be 2s. SOUTHWARK.—Mr. Richard Hawkins, an elderly gentleman of considerable property, residing at Hack ney, was brought before Mr. Combe for final examina tion, charged with intermarrying with Clara Eliza beth Miller, a young female of prepossessing appearance, aged 20, his former wife, Elizabeth Hawkins, being then and now living. Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Solomons for the prisoner. Sarah Munden, the wife of Robert M un d en, o f Woot ton, Bassett, Wilts, said she knew a female whose name was Elizebeth Ovens, and her father was her guardian, and she lived in their family. She knew the prisoner, and remembered that in the year 1824 Elizabeth Ovens left their house with him and went to Wootton Bas sett Church, were they were married. On their return from church they had some refreshment, and from that time she answered to the name of Elizabeth Hawkins. Witness drank her health at the time as Mrs. Hawkins in the presence of the prisoner. They left the house the same day, and did not return, and she had since visited them at Cirencester, where they were living as man and wife. She had examined the register-book of marriages, at the residence of the minister of Wootton Bassett, and saw an entry dated 1824 of a marriage between Robert Hawkins and Elizabeth Ovens.
