would be permanently established. Ireland would have her rights, however they might slight them. Our only choice was whether Ireland should receive her rights from our justice or through our humiliation. preferred conceding at once what it would be dangerous and unjust in us longer to with hold. On a subject so exhausted as the present, he would not longer dwell, but he believed the House had no other means of averting the repeal of the union than by proving that the Imperial Legislature can legislate for the whole people of Great Britain and Ireland on the principles of equality and justice, and that they were not only able, but willing, to consummate at once this work of civil and religious renovation.—(Cheers.) Lord ELIOT said, that during the last session of Parlia silent the subject of the Irish Church had been so thoroughly changed, that he did not think it necessary to trespass, for any length of time, on the attention of the House. He had on that occasion so fully stated his opinions, that he thought it the less necessary to trespass on their attention. If he rightly under stood the motion of the Hon. Member, it was much more limited in its nature than the motion of last year. Neither did the Hon. Gentleman go into the same ample details as on a former occasion, but contented himself with requesting of the House to accede to his motion for inquiry. The principal argument of the Hon. Member was, that as the Members of the Established Church in Ireland bore a small proportion to the whole people of Ireland, that, therefore, the Established Church should be stripped of its temporalities. He admitted the pre mises, but denied the conclusion. It was not a mere question of numbers, it was a question of principle, of right. They were not now called upon to consider which was the best mode of supporting the Established Church in Ireland. They had now to deal with the Church which had a prescriptive right to its temporalities nearly 300 year,. He did not think the argu ment of prescriptions could be altogether disregarded by Hon. Gentlemen on the other side of the House. There was no part of the speech of the Right Hon Gentleman, the Member for Edinburgh, on the Dissenters' Chapels Bill—that eloquent, argumentative speech—which seemed to have made a greater impression on the House than that in which he treated of pre scription. He showed how much his right was cherished, and to what an extent it prevailed, not only in the polished States of Greece and Rome, but even among the uncivilized nations of the East. But he (Lord Eliot) did not, by any means, altogether rely on prescription. The temporalities of the Established Church were secured to her by the Act of Union, and were confirmed by the Catholic Emancipation Bill. The fourth article of the union was decisive on this point. Mr. Pitt, who had been frequently quoted as an authority by the Hon. Member for Sheffield, was decidedly adverse to the abridgthent of the tem poralities of the Established Church. The Noble Lord then quoted the speech of Sir Henry Parnell in 1811. in which that distinguished man stated that the Established Church in Ire , land bad been secured in strength by the Act of Union, which was one of the objects of that union ; and he quoted Mr. Pitt's authority to the same effect. Mr. Pitt was of opinion that the Established Church in Ireland would derive security from being consolidated with the Established Church in England. The people of England had been assured at the time the Catholic Relief Bill was passed, that the Protestant Church in Ireland would be secured by it. Mr. Grattan, in 1823, thought the revenues of the Established Church should be supported, and should not be subjected to any species of spoliation. Lord Plunkett deprecated in 'the strongest manner the transfer of any portion of the temporalities of the Established Church to the Roman Catholic Church. He sad he respected 'the rights of the Established Church, and would resist any encroach ment on them. He maintained that the property of the Church ought to be held as sacred as any other species of pro perty ; and down to 1832 the present Earl Spencer, then Lord Althorp, held language of the same nature. He was adverse to any spoliation of the revenues of the Church. After dwelling on this portion of the subject at some further length, the Noble Lord proceeded to notice the argument of the Hon. Member for Sheffield regarding the mal-administra firm of the Irish Government in respect to Church patronage. The Hon. Member said that appointments had been made in the Irish Church which were calculated to excite the discon tent of that people, and that those dignitaries who were so appointed were unfriendly to the people; and the Hon. Member attempted to bolster tin his case by reading a placard, announcing the sale of some of the property of one Archdeacon Lacy—an elderly, eccentric gentleman, who, be it remembered, was not dependent upon the revenues of the Established Church, but had an ample peoperty of his own, The Hon. Member had somewhat misrepresented his (Lord Eliot's) sentiments; he bad not said atWhing which could be construed into an opi nion that. Catholic Emancipation in any way invalidated the Establishe I Church. Neither could it be urged as a reason for spoliating the revenue , ' of the Established Church, that they should be applied to the Roman Catholic Church, or to the endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy ; for the Roman Catholics, as well as their clergy, repudiated the idea of a State provision. Then, what would they do wish the property of the EetaLlished Church were they to confiscate it? Mr. M. O'CONNELL—AppIy it to secular purposes. Lord ELIOT was entirely averse to any such application, . and he believed if the revenues of the Established Church were taken away none would lament it more than the Roman Catholics themselves. Whateveropinionhe (Lord Eliot) might entertain rega r ding the endowment of the Roman Catho.ic clergy, and he owned he was not unfriendly to it, must, during the present state of feeling on the part of the Roman Catholic population and clergy, be altogether abandoned. But this was not the tame to discuss that sutject. In fine, he conceived that the Hon. Member's plan was unjust, inexpedient, and incapa ble of producing the effects which he anticipated from it ; and firmly entertaining these opinions he called upon the House in the most earnest manner to reject the motion. Mr. ROSS said ,he had heard it stated by Hon. Members . on the other side of the House, on several occasions when this question was under disCussion, that there was no real grievance in the establishment of the Protestant Church in Ireland; but . he and others knew well, from practical experience, that these asseverations had no -foundation in fact, and that wrong did exist. There was one Hon. Member on the Ministerial benches (Mr. Shaw, we believe), who never hesitated to say . that, for his religion, he was ready at any moment to lay down his life. He for one did not doubt his sincerity, but he disap proved the feelings which prompted such an avowal. He be .• lieved such sentiments to be irreconcilable with the Christian dispensation. - There were some occasions when his sense, of , duty would compel him ( Mr. Ross) to fight ;he would fight for . his country, but he would not fight for his religion, because, in doing so, he must necessarily be attempting to violate the con science, the scruples, and the religious feelings, of his fellow man. It was said by the opponents of the present - motion that, if it were agreed to, it would be consenting - to the destruction of the Protestant religion in Ireland. He . hoped he was as good a Protestant as any man in that House, arid his opinion was that no injury could ever accrue to the , Protestant faith by any. such step. He believed the Protestant religion to be placed on too solid a foundation ever to be shaken, even though all its endowments were swept away. But, for his part, be was prepared to contend that even if this was a real grievance, they were bound to consult even the preju ' dicea of those from whom they differed. And when the Roman Catholic population of Ireland looked at their own clergy, and ; then at the rich clergy of the Estab . lished Church, and contrasted the two, they felt keenly hew strange and strong that contrast was. Under these circurn .. stances, then, the question arose, what was to be done? ilt had been said that evening, as on previous occasions, that a • Committee only was asked for, and that no specific measure; of relief had been suggested. Now, in his (Mr. Ross's) opinion, the Han. Member for Sheffield (Mr. Ward) had acted ranch - more suitably and respectfully by leaving the remedy to the - • wisdom of the House itself. The Honourable Gentleman called on the House to consent to take the first and necessary step towards a remedy, and that was iby • • going into a Committee of the whole House. 'le • thoughe they ought to act towards the Roman Catholics as tb - ey acted towards the Presbyterian clergy, who received the Regium Donum. It was due time for the House to turnlits attention to the subject. There was danger in delay. Be . • did not mean to say there was any danger of a rising on the -• part of the people of Ireland, for peace and order had hien • . preached to them. But human nature was human nature, • and the Irish people might avail themselves of the first opp.pr - turrity presented so them, and when that House would too late s repent it had not hearkened to the advice of the Hon. Member for Sheffield.—( Hear. ) • Mr. SHAW said he was not surprised at the weariness • which seemed to pervade the House upon this subject, whether it arose 'from a consciousness of what the result would be, or from its having been so frequently discussed before. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Sheffield, as usual led ; the attack on th e. E sta bli s h e d Ch urc h o f I re l an d, of which (Mr. Shaw). was the , humble advocate in that Howe, but he perceived from the speech of the Hon. Gen tleman that :the tactics of the party with whom he suited • were considerably changed. The mask of. professed friend , ship towards the Established Church had been at length ... cast off. -He was glad of it, for the professing friend was ,more dangerous than the open foe. There was no naore • . talk of surplusses and appropriation clauses. The destine ., tion of the Established Church was now put forward, and • this he believed was always the object which. Hon. Gen . tlernen opposite had in view. The issue now sent to the House • ~ and country to try, was whether the Established Church, after a ~ possession of 300 years, was to have its property confiscated, and the Roman Catholic Church established in its place?—(No, no. ) The Hon. Gentleman again said that there should be no hig . filing about terms. He would not admit of terms, but would • . take his stand on the ground of justice. As the representative ' s .of the Church of Ireland in that House. he would repeat the • terms of the Hon. Gentleman. The Hon. Gentleman bad . spoken of the failure of the Established Church in Ireland in .• winning over the people. A main cause of that, perhaps, was the mal-administration and neglect of the -Irish Church. The 1 Hun. Gentloman..again alluded to there being no Protestant • . prayer-books printed in the Irish language for the use of the people. Nenes-he begged to tell the Hon. Gentleman that t the Protestant ~prayer-book was the first ever printed in Dublin, and• during the last twenty years thousands of them 1 had been .eirculated by the Society for the promotion of Chris- - tian Knowledge. The Hon. Gentleman then went to parti ti cuter cases, and referred to Archdeacon De Lacy. Now, this - clergyman was the owner of a considerable private fortune, - e which he spent in works. of charity, and if he kept a great • number of cows, he gave away the milk to the poor. If be - .was fond of sporting, there were perhaps .not , far from where he had lived Roman Catholic clergymen who were also fond of their gun and their hounds, but he should be sorry to adduce - this . as an instant* of the conduct .of the .Roman Catholic • clergy ge nera ll y .. Th e H on.

The character, of. no Church should be estimated from a the conduct .of individuals. .cumstances sof _the What were the cir- Established Church in Ireland? 1 • Now,: he believed there was .no pract i cal gri evance now felt by s . the Roman Catholics of Ireland._ eve r t; grievance they • s bad suffered withrespect to tithes had been Elicit being transferred from Catholic to Protestant landlords. The nett income of the beneficed clergy was now. about 350,0001., e including curates, 377,0501. The income of the archbishops • and.bishops was about 6 ;,000/. a year, Adding the incomes of i deans,. chaplains, &e., the total would be about 550,000 L a' • year, • The:average of the benefices, supposing • them abe 1,400,.was 332,0001. That was 2251. for each beneficed carry • • man.— •Lie believed that the Hon. Gentleman ..had understaied • 'the number of' Episcopalians in Ireland. According to the • Commissioners of Instruction, it was 850,000 ; but the - • Wesleyan Methodists of Ireland .considered them e selves as belonging .to the Established . Church, and supposing , that to be the case, the entire . number of • Episcopalian Protestants in. Ireland was not, he believed, less than la. million. Fifty sinecures had been abolished since s 'August, 1833,• and thirty-two pluralists had been taken from • . the , list; there were at present only eighty-one pluralists , remaining. In 1837 it was roported that there were 345 non e• residents; there were now only 100.. When the Temporalities .! -Act had been brought into full operation, he believed there Is would not be two beneficei worth 1,5001. a year, and not ten ) • s worth 1,0001. There were, under the bishops and clergy of 1 , the Irish Church, 1;873 sehools, containing 102,52') scholars. • - - , Now he could not help observing that such motions as •`•4 s that before the House would rather tend to excite than to "- -allay the animosities which had hitherto existed.

The Hon. Gentleman and -ma the a w paTt la y tobewlehicechiYhede belonged, by whatever name they might choose to call them selves, had always been the greatest enemies of Ireland. The Hon. Gentleman had come down to-night to explain the present position of the Irish Church, and had at tacked them for bringing the condition of that Church b Jae thie public. He would not now stop to ascertain to what the fact was to be attributed that the Church had not up to the present time made one convert more since the hour it was planted. It might perhaps be owing to the maladministration and mismanagement of its funds. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman asked them to have pity upon the poor Church of Ireland, because it had only 81 pluralities.—( Hear, hear.) He could not have believed that any Church could have found a defender that had so many.—(" Oh," and cries of " Hear, hear " from Mr. Shaw.) He took a very different view of these matters from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He told the Hon. and Learned Gentleman how he, as a Roman Catholic, regarded these things. The Hon. Gentleman took credit for the fact of there only being 109 incumbents of the Church not being in benefices, so that, according to the Hon. Gentleman's own admission, one-fourteenth of the beneficed clergy of Ire land were absentees. They could have no better authority (or that fact than that of the champion of the Established Church of Ireland. There perhaps might be an excuse for " the absenteeism in Ireland, because it so happened that in many parishes in Ireland there was not a single Protestant.—( Hear, hear.) In the parish in which he resided anch was the case— ( Hear, hear)—end in the whole union there was not thirty ,persons who attended the parish chutch.—( Hear, hear.) It was monstrous that the motion of the Right Hon. Member for Sheffield, which only asked for a Committee of inquiry into the state of this Church, should be refused by the Go vernment.—( Hear, hear.) He would not stop to offer an opinion as to the manner in which such an announcement would be received in Ireland. The policy of the Right Hon. Baronet was a most dangerous pelicy.—( Hear, hear.) It was never to leave a stand which he had taken until the tide came and drove him back from his position. He, a Roman Catholic, told the Right Hon. Baronet this. He was one of those whom the Right Hon. Baronet had emancipated, but whose emanci pation he had through the greater part of his life bitterly op posed, and he stood there a living example that the policy which the Right Hon. Baronet pursued for a great part ef his life was false and untenable.—( Hear, hear.) He was surprised to bear it said that the Catholic peasantry paid no tithes. The instant each tithe Bill had passed the landlords had raised the rents, on the ground that they had to pay the tithes. Mr. F. SHAW—They must get it in one way or another. Mr. REDDINGTON thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman seemed really to think that this question of the Church in Ireland was only a question of pounds, shillings, and pence. He wished to guard against its being supposed, for one moment, that he wished to transfer the revenues of that Church to the Roman Catholics. If he thought that the present motion would tend, even in the most indirect manner, to the establishment of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland, or to the payment of its clergy by the State, he would record his vote against it.—(Cheers.) He had not yet seen any example in which the payment of a State Church had ever tended to the benefit of the Church or the State.— ( Cheers.) It was vain to suppose that the Established Church would long subsist in Ireland. Nothing that resembled it would be found in an other country on the face of the earth. While a niggardly grant of 50,0001. a year only was made for the education of the people—while that people were taxed to support the poor, was it not mon strous that they should be called upon to pay tithes for the support of this Church, in addition to the immense revenues which it otherwise enjoyed. The cause of the Hon. Member for Sheffield was the cause of justice, and although they might oppose it successfully for the present, yet as sure as there was justice in Heaven, it must ultimately succeed. Col. RAWDON moved the adjournment of the debate. Strangers was then ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, the adjournment of the debate having been agreed to. COUNTY RATES BILL. Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee on this Bill, which after some discus sion was agreed to. The Bill passed through Committee and the House resumed ; and the Bill was ordered to be reported on Thursday nett. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House, at Twenty Minutes after Twelve, adjourned till this day (Wednesday). PARLIAMEN TAR Y DIVISIONS.

DEATH or LADY CAmrßELL.—lntelligence was received in town on Saturday of the death of Lady Campbell, wife of Sir Archibald Campbell, Bart. Her Ladyship died on. Thursday, last at Succoth, Dumbartonshire. She mar tied Sir Archibald. Campbell in 1795, by whom her Ladyship leaves a numerous family. Mr. and Lady Eleanor Balfour, Mr. and Lady Mary Stanley, and several families of rank, are placed in mourning by the demise of her Ladyship. THE LYCEUM.—On Monday a new dramatic sketch, entitled The Three Fra Diavolos, by the author of Polka mania, was produced at the Lyceum, under favourable auspices. The plot, in a few words, may be said to describe the adventures , of a party of English fashionables at Rome. The ladies propose an excursion to the ruins of Adrian's -Villa, near Tivoli, and this reaching the ears of their gallants, they project a surprise of their fair tourists, in the characters of the Era Diavolos. This is followed by a similar plot of their servants to frighten their masters, while they in turn are set upon, as well as their employers, by the dreaded ban ditti they were personating, and, after being stripped and ill treated, only escape death or captivity by the unexpected ar rival of the papal soldiery. So ends the piece. The prin cipal characters were performed by Messrs Vining, Keeley, `and Wigan; and Miss Woolgar, Mrs. Woollidge, and Miss Turner, who certainly contributed in no small degree to the • uccss of the piece. THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—The greater portion of the houses between Charlotte-street, Blooms bury, and Oxford-street—to be removed for the formation of -the new street—have been taken down to the foundation. .Among the number is the Hare and Hounds public-house, situate near the station-house of the E division, which was pbrmerly a celebrated resort of the Londoners in the 16th and 17th centuries. Till the reign of Charles 11, it was known by the sign of the Be- , gars' Bush, when the name 'became altered in consecruence of a hare having been , 'hunted and caught there, where it was afterwards cooked and eaten. This locality has undergone many changes, There was during the reign of Henry I. an hospital for lepers, which was founded by Matilda, the wife of that King ; and subsequently the scaffold was removed to that spot from Smithfield, upon which the first victim was Lo r d Cobham, the friend of He n ry V;, who was hung i n c h a i ns , an d burnt by a slow fire' and which scaffoldwasa e fterwards taken of th to Tyburn. In a few days the Site above public house will be lost, as it will be nearly in the of the new street. Between Bedford Chapel and Hi gh- street, Giles'swhich was a short time ago the parish -stoner-atirdSt. poles are erected to fOrm the line of the new houses, the cellars of which are now being formed. In Belton-street, leading from High-street to Long Acre, the new church of Christ Church—the foundation-stone of which was laid a few weeks ago, on the east side of the street—is in a state of great forwardness ; and but few houses remain between there and Long Acre to be demolished. In C r a nbourn-stree t , an en tirely new pavement has been laid down, giving the public ! thoroughfare all the appearance of a street ; and in a short time houses will be erected on the opposite side, for which the various cellars are formed. At Stockingford, the other day, fora wager of a shilling, a woman ate a peck of radishes, with a pound of bread and butter, and ale' ad libitum, in ivit'an hour. - I TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, IM4. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11. The House sat to-day in Committee for Privileges. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftes bury, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, Lord Campbell, Viscount Melville, Lord Rollo, the Marquis of Huntly, the Earl of Redesdale. and Lord Kenyon. TIIE ANNANDALE PEERAGE. The further arguments on this Peerage occupiod their Lordships the whole morning. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT June 11. (Before Sir JAMBS Wu:aux.) CORY *V. THE YARMOUTH AND NORWICH RAILWAY COMPANY. His HONOUR gave judgment in this case. He said it was not his intention to express any opinion as to what the rights of either of the parties were under any Act of Parliament. By an Act passed in May, 1827, the plaintiff was empowered to build a bridge over the river Bure, in lieu of a ferry which had existed there ; and under that Act any one who should in any manner convey any person, beast, cattle, cart, or car riage whatever over the river, within the limits of the ferry, otherwise than over the bridge, or assist in so doing, was liable to a fine of 40s. Now he would leave the case en tirely open as to whether the plaintiff had not rights in the bridge co-extensive with his rights in the ferry; that was a matter upon which he would pronounce no opinion. The defendants, it appeared, had been empowered to make a railway from Norwich to Yarmouth, and the ter minus of their railway was on part of the ferry farm. They had also constructed a basin ; and a dispute had arisen be tween the parties, as to whether that basin was within the river Bure or below its mouth. Across this basin, the de fendants carried passengers to and from the railway. The bill had been filed by the plaintiff, Mr. Cory, who alleged that his rights had been infringed by the steamer, for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain the defendants from thus using the ferry. He thought the case should go to a trial before a jury ; and, as it was one which ought to go perfectly unprejudiced with regard to the interests of either party, he would not grant the injunction, lest by so doing he might seem to pronounce an opinion in favour of the plaintiff's legal right. The terms to be imposed upon the parties were that they did go to trial at the next Norfolk assizes; and the defendants must undertake to keep an account of all the pas sengers' carriages, &c., which they might convey across the river, and at the request of the plaintiff they must furnish an account of the same, and verify the account by affidavit. COURT OF •QUEEIV'S BENCH, June 11. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. THE BISHOP OF RIPON. In this case a rule nisi for a mandamus was obtained to compel the defendant to allow an inspection of the registry of resignations and presentations, and, if necessary, to take copies or extracts thereof. Mr. ERLE (with whom was Mr. Hill) now showed cause against the rule, and contended that the rule should be dis charged on two grounds. The first g.ound of objection was, that an application was made in this case to Mr. Justice Williatiis in the Bail Court upon affidavit, who directed that the case should be moved in the full Court. The case did come on in the full Court, but the affidavit was altered, and this the Court would not allow. The other ground of objec tion was that there was no distinct demand of what was asked for by the rule. The rule asked for an inspection of the registry, which was a public document, and the applica tion made to the Bishop was to see the deed of resignation and presentation, which were not public documents. Mr. OGLE (with whom was the Solicitor-General) said that he moved for the rule in the Bail Court on the last day of Hilary Term, upon a very lengthy affidavit. Mr. Justice Williams referred the matter to the full Court, and he having seen that the affidavit contained a great deal of matter re flecting on the character of the Bishop, which was not ma terial to the application, had it struck out. Lord DENMAN said that the Court had decided last term that a variation of this kind in the affidavit was fatal.—Rule discharged with costs. THE QUEEN V. TILE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. Iri this case a rule had been obtained by Mr. Hill, calling on the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directing and command ing them to admit Mr. Ashurst, an attorney of the Lord Mayor's Court. The application was founded on the 27th sec. of the Gth and 7th of Victoria, ch. 73, and the question was, whether the Lord Mayor's Court was one of those con templated by that Act? Lord Ds NMAN said he understood that this was a question of considerable importance, and it would therefore be better to order that a return to the mandamus should be made, in order that the question might be fully discussed and consi dered. BAIL COURT, June 11. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) THE QUEEN V. DITCH AND OTHERS. Mr. HUDDLESTON in this case applied for a certiorari, to remove an indictment for conspiracy against an attorney and two persons named Ditch, from the Central Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bench. The affidavit on which the application was founded stated that points of law were likely to arise, upon which it would be necessary to have the opinion of the Judges of the Court.—Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 11. (Sittings in Banco.) Their Lordships were occupied this morning in hearing motions, none of which presented any feature of public in terest or importance. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 10. (Before Commissioner Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) TIIE ROMFORD DANE.-IN RE THOMAS JOHNSON, THE ELDER, WILLIAM JOHNSON, AND CHARLES MANN, OF RUMFORD, IN ESSEX, BANKERS, AND CO• PARTNERS, DEALERS AND CHAPMEN. 11 fiat was issued against the above parties upon the Bth inst., at the instance of Emanuel Cooper, William Curry, Swynfen Jarvis, and Joseph Henry Warter, of No. 71, Lombard-street, bankers, and co-partners, on behalf of the " London and County Joint-stock Bank," and the adjudication took place this day. No day has yet been fixed for the choice of assignees, but Mr. Follett has been appointed official assignee. We are requested by the solicitor to the fiat, Mr. Wil kinson, to state that every opportunity will be afforded by the representatives of the London and County Bank of coming to the most satisfactory arrangements with the creditors of the llomford Bank. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The RECORDER sat in this Court the whole of the day, and disposed of a great many cases of felony; but the following are the only ones deserving publicity : John Biggins, 25, was charged with stealing a mare, ♦alue 201., the property of George Rough. It appeared that the prosecutor lives at Wandsworth, and the mare in question was stolen from the common near his residence on the night of the 14th May. On the 17th the prisoner appeared with the mare at Shaftes bury, upwards of a hundred miles from the place whence the mare had been stolen, and he there bargained with a man, named Wright, for the disposal of the mare, and eventually he agreed to take another horse, a saddle and bridle, and two sovereigns for her; but Wright, as the prisoner was an entire stranger to him, refused to complete the bargain until he introduced him to some person who knew him. Upon this the prisoner took Wright to a person who said he knew him, but by a cliff, rent name to that he had previously given, and the prisoner was then given into custody. After being in gaol several days, and no person coming forward to identify the animal, he was set at liberty, but on the same day the prosecutor arrived at Shaftesbury and identified the mare, and the prisoner was pursued and taken into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said he bought the mare for nine sovereigns at a fair in the neighbourhood of Shaftesbury, but he called no witnesses in support of his statement. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, :and the pri soner was sentenced to be transported for ten years. Charles Edwards, 26, and William Johnson, 31, were charged with stealing nineteen yards of cloth, value 171., the property of Samuel Summers. The mode in which this robbery was effected was of a very ingenious character, and our readers will do well to be upon their guard against such proceedings in fu ture. It appeared that the prisoner Edwards, who represented himself to be a Frenchman, called at the house of the prosecutor, who is a tailor residing in the Borough-road, accompanied by another man, and they both conversed with the prosecutor fur some time rela tive to clothes which they represented they wished to have made. They went away together, and shortly afterwards Johnson called and gave the servant a note addressed to the prosecutor, and which she took up stairs to him. The note was to the following effect:— " Dear Sir,—Please to call and take the measure of my eldest son Charles for a suit of clothes;" but there was no signature to it. The moment the prisoner Johnson was left alone, he went round the counter, and took up a piece of cloth and ran off with it, but the manoeuvre was fortunately observed, and he was pursued for some dis tance, an 3 until he jumped into a cab, in which was quietly seated the other prisoner, Edwards, who was evidently waiting for his companion, and the piece of cloth was lying between them. Upon Edward's being searched, a note in the same hanwriting as that sent to the prosecutor, was found in his pocket ; the contents were to the following effect :—" D ear Madam,—Please to let me know upon what terms you can let your lodg • ings to a foreigner of distinction." This note had nei ther name nor address to it, and was evidently intended for the purposes of fraud. The prisoner Edwards, who had all the appearance and tone of voice of a thorough cockney, asserted that he was an " unfortunate foreigner," and called upon the jury to give him the benefit of his ignorance of English laws, asserting at the same time his entire ignorance of the crime alleged against him. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER said there could be no reasonable doubt that this was one of those deeply laid plans of robbery which the public could hardly guard against by any foresight, and the sentence, therefore was, that they be severally transported for ten years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William George Hawkins, the master of the Rainbow steam-packet, plying between London and Hammer smith, appeared before the Lord Mayor, to answer the complaint of Mr. Edward Bailey, son of Mr. Bailey of Berners-street, for having " unlawfully, carelessly, and negligently navigated the vessel in the Thames, so that it came in collision with a wherry, in which the com plainant and his two brothers, and two other young gen tleman. ere„ by reason of which they were placed in great danger, and had nearly lost their lives." The Justice-room was crowded by very eager people, several of whom were said to have witnessed the affair which gave rise to the complaint. Mr. Hobler having stated the particulars for the com plainant, called the witnesses. _ _ _ Mr. Edward Bailey stated that, on Saturday the Ist of June, he was on the river, with his two brothers and two friends, in a wherry, about half a mile above Putney bridge, at about eight o'clock in the evening. They were coming down with the tide, in the middle of the stream, when they met the Rainbow steamer passing up the river. The steamer gradually Inclined her nose towards the Middlesex shore, and witness, who was steering in the wherry, steered rather more towards the Surrey shore. Presently the steamer altered her course and went towards the Surrey shore, and a man in her bows beckoned to him to steer towards the Middlesex side. Witness obeyed, and if both had held en the altered course they would have cleared each other. When, however, they had got within a very short distance of each other the steamer , again altered her course to the Middlesex side, and struck the boat, which was a strong four-oared cutter, upon the stern. Just before the boat was struck by the steamer, Mr. Chapman, one of the gentlemen in the for mer, jumped overboard and swam towards the Surrey shore. The concussion was so great that it threw his younger brother, the lad behind him, and himself into the river. When they rose, his younger brother, (Alfred Bailey) was between him and the boat, which was broken almost to pieces, and witness pushed his brother, who was but a bad swimmer, towards the boat, and he was saved. Witness and Mr. Chapman thought it would be dangerous to try to get into the boat which had received so serious an injury, and they continued to swim about till assistance arrived, and they were picked up. Two or three boats came to them, but not one came from the steamer. Two or three steamers passed them while they were in the water, but not one of them backed water or rendered any help at all. Mr. Arthur Bailey, brother of the first witness, stated that he was in the boat at the time it was run down by the steamer. Since that time he had seen a man, who had spoken to, him. The man said he was the brother of the captain, and that he ought to have been at the wheel himself, but he had sent a boy who was an ap prentice to steer, and the apprentice had sent a stoker to do that office, and that the stoker not knowing how to steer let the wheel run through his hands. At first he said the men did stop the engines, but afterwards he said it was unfortunately Saturday night, and the call boy was mopping the decks, and therefore there was no one to report the order, and he stated that he hoped they would not say anything more about it, as it was his fault. Mr. Edward Senor, of No. 22, Essex-street, Strand, solicitor, stated that he was on board the Rainbow steamer when the collision took place. The steamer had put ashore some passengers, and, he believed, the captain, before it took place. A man on board the steamer made a motion to the parties in the boat to go to the Surrey side. They did go towards the Surrey side, and the steamer dodged them, and then they went towards the Middlesex side, and the steamer did the same, and the boat was then struck by the steamer. Witness imme diately ran to throw over a rope, and saw three persons in the water. The steamer, however, went on. The LORD MAYOR —Did you see any attempt made on the part of the steamer to render assistance ? No ; but two or three boats went to their assistance from the Surrey side. The LORD MAYOR -`Yell, defendant, what have you to say in answer to this charge 2 The defendant said that when a steamer got above Putney-bridge the danger was considered to be over, and it was accordingly left to the management of the mate, who was perfectly quali fied. Witness was not on board at the time the acci dent occurred. The mate stated, that he could not take upon himself the management, and be at the wheel at the same time; he had, therefore, put the fcremast hand on board to the wheel, and the stoker to help him, and the accident occurred without any fault upon his side. The LORD MAYOR said—So the lives of persons are to be put in imminent peril by your gross neglect of duty. The captain leaves his mate to do hii business, and the mate appoints s ome b o d y e l se , and._ three lives have been placed in jeopardy. This is a most atrocious case—if a life had been lost these persona most certainly could be tried for manslaughter and convicted. What are the feelings of Mr. Bailey, the father of these young gentle men, as to the punishment to be awarded. I recommend that an action be brought immediately against the pro prietor of the steamer. - Mr. Bailey. —I am so grateful for the fortunate escape of my sons, that I cannot say I have any other feeling ; but I considered that it was proper, for the sake of the public, to bring the case before your Lordship, and I wish to be wholly guided by your judgment. The defendaut.—Allow me to call a witness to show that the steamer was not in fault. Frederick Phelps, Putney waterman, was then called by the defendant. He stated that he was standing on the bank of the river, on the Surrey side, and he saw the steamer and the boat, and just as the steamer got near the boat, he heard the man on board the steamer call out. He then saw the steamer strike the boat, and heard the man on board the steamer cry out, " Stop her, stop her." The LORD .M.A.roft.—l don't believe one word you have uttered. A person who said he was the superintendent of the steamer, which was the property of a Mr. Spitler, here stood forward at the desire of the Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP wished to know whether the superin tendent meant to sanction the continuance of the de fendant and his mate in their situations, after what they had stated ? The superintendent s ,id the mate was perfectly well qualified to take upon himself the command of the steamer in the absence of the captain, and did not ap pear to think that there was any mismanagement at all on board ; neither did lie, nor the captain, nor the mate, express any regret at what had occurred. The LORD MAYOR declared that he could not speak in terms of condemnation strong enough to express his feelings upon the occasion. If he were the proprietor, the defendant and the mate should undergo instant dis missal. The dismissal of those persons was certainly due to the public. Unfortunately, he (the Lord Mayor) was not empowered by the Act of Parliament to inflict in this case a higher penalty than 51., and he by all means advised Mr. Bailey to bring an action for the re covery of damages. Mr. Bailey—As they have expressed no contrition at all for what has taken place they are fairly open to the law. The LORD MAYOR—I by all means recommend it, and I shall discharge the case in order that legal pro ceedings may be adopted. It was most extraordinary that, although the crowd in the justice-room expected to have a shower of apologies and submissions, not one syllable of regret was uttered by any of those who were interested in the cause of the steamer. It was said, in the course of the iuvestigation, that every nail in the four-oared cutter was started by the collision. WORSHIP-STREET. On Monday Mr. John Bayley, residing in Brunswick terrace, Hackney-road, and holdi ng ' a s it ua tion under Government, was charged before Mr. Broughton, with indecently assaulting an his nursemaid, Sarah Amelia Barber, a girl thirteen years of a ge . The complainant, artless-looking child, and short for her age, stated, that she had been seven weeks in the service of the defendant, who w a s a married man, with a wife and three children, as nursemaid, and that on Saturday evening, about six o'clock, her mistress went out in company with her sister, leaving her master and herself at home. Witness was rocking the infant to sleep in its cot in the drawing-room, where the prisoner was sitting on the sofa, and, as the child was very frac tious,. she asked the prisoner's permission to go down sta t irsTfoi her needlework. The prisoner assented, and she was about doing so, when he got up, and, kneeling doWn before her, took hold of her hand, and asked her to let him kiss her. This she allowed the prisoner to do, and lie then pressed h er to s i t w i t h hi m on th e s ofa. She refused, and the prisoner pulled her down beside him, and after retaining her there for some time, made a solicitation of a very indecent description, which she indignantly repelled, and got away from him. The in fant having now gone to sleep, the prisoner got up, un dressed the other two children, four and six years of age, himself, and put them to bed ; and the witness having gone down into the kitchen to look after the children's boots and shoes, was followed there by the prisoner, who. drawing a chair to the fire-place, asked her to sit near him; this she refused, and went up stairs for some of the children's clothing, followed by t h e p r i son er, who pur sued her into the kitchen again ; here, after an indeli cate action, he forcibly pulled her on to his knee, which she resented, and after a violent struggle succeeded in escaping, when she attempted to leave the house, but was stopped by the prisoner, who promised her a handsome present if she would engage not to mention the transac tion to her mistress. She ultimately got out of the house, and meeting her mother, who was making pur chases in Shoreditch, acquainted her with the prisoner's conduct towards her. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Ware, who attended for the defence, but without in the least shaking her testimony. Henry Barber, the prosecutrix's father, stated, that when he met the first witness she was in a state of great excitement. On being made acquainted with the facts, he immediately went to the house of the prisoner, and accused him of the offence. The prisoner at once ad mitted the justice of the accusation. invited the witness in, and pro.nised that if this transaction were overlooked, he would take care that nothing of the kind again occurred. The witness, however, indignantly left the house, and meeting a policeman shortly afterwards, re lated the facts to hies, and gave the prisoner in charge. Policeman 340 N deposed to taking the prisoner into custody. When he told him the charge against him, he did not deny it, hut expressed his willingness to accom party him to the station-house. Mr. Ware said, that the defence he had to make was a total denial of the charge. He need not point out to the magistrate how easily accusations of this descrip tion could be preferred, and how extremely difficult it was to rebut them, and, under all the circumstances, he trusted the magistrate would not consider that sufficient evidence had been adduced to establish the charge. The prisoner was a highly respectable man, very much regarded by all who knew him, and he wholly► denied that such a transaction I.ad taken place. Mr. 13itotrowrox said, that the prosecutrix had such an appearance of artless simplicity, and had given her evidence in such a straightforward manner, that he could not see any reason to doubt her story, which, moreover, was partly confirmed by two other witnesses. He should, therefore, send the prisoner for trial at the sessions, on the charge of assaulting with intent, &c. ; but as the depositions could not then be taken, he must be brought up again next week for that purpose, and in the mean time he would accept bail for his future appearance, him self in 1001., and two responsible parties in 50/. each. The bail was shortly after found, and the prisoner who was much affected at his situation, was then liberated. CLE RKEN W EL L. A very miserable-look;ng lad, who described himself as a musician, named John Fitzgerald, was charged with wilfully breaking .a pane of glass in the Robin Hood public-house, Church-lane, St. Giles's. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoner was, on the previous evening, engaged in ministering to the musical taste of a select party, at the Robin Hood public-house • but the charms of his lyre had not the effect of stiffen ing the sordid propensities of his auditors, and the smallness of the sum they tendered v - as considered by this son of Orpheus as so utterly unworthy of his deserts that he left the room in high dudgeon, and in the excess of his wrath drove his hand through a pane of glass in the public-house. He was immediately arrested, -but the unfortunate musician was found to hate mangled his hand so dreadfully that the landlord, with ktecoming humanity, declined to press the charge of wilful damage against him. The poor fellow seeme d so woe-be&one when placed in the dock, with his um ti a sling, and lus face deadly pale, that every one present felt grateful to the publican fur setting him at liberty. MAI?I'LEBONE. Sarah Barnard, Elizabeth Morgan, Martha Elliott, and Jane Manners, four girls belonging to the Marylebone work house, were brought before 111r.Itawlinson, charged by James Jones, the master, with disorderly conduct. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Jones and two of the inmates, that the prisoners were most incorrigible, having been more than once convicted already fur similar offences. They were therefore kept apart from the others and locked up in a different part of the building, communicating with an , inclosed yard. After the inmates had retired to rest yester day evening, the four girls at the bar lighted a bonfire in the yard communicating with their rooms. Chairs, stools, and even portions of their dress being put in requisition for the laud able purpose of, as Manners said, "setting the b— place on fire." Fortunately the " row " was discovered in time, and the girls were handed over to the tender mercies of the police. Mr. RAwwcsoN—lt seems to me that there is a reprehen sible carelessness somewhere. Surely some precaution might be adopted to prevent even the possibility of these girls having the power of setting the house on fire. Mr. Jones said that the prisoners were subjected to a strict surveillance, but it was impossible to know what they were after until the fault had been committed. The girls said that their bedrooms were locked, and they were therefore obliged to remain in the yard, but this asser tion was disproved by the master. They next stated that they were angry, because their own " nurse" was taken from them. Mr. RAWLINSON—You are no babies, but take care that you shall be nursed in the House of Correction, where you will each go fur twenty days. UN/ON-HALL. Francis Turnes, a shopboy in the employ of Thomas Winyat, a boot and shoemaker, was charged with robbing his employer. It appeared that the prisoner bad been about three months in the complainant's employ, and that about a week ago the daughter of the latter, a little girl between three and four years of age, seeing the prisoner open the till, mentioned the c►rcumstance to her father. When he examined the till he missed a sovereign, but the boy bei❑g questioned on the sub ject, denied taking the sovereign with such earnestness, that no further notice was taken of it. A strict watch however was kept on the prisoner, and some silver having been missed from the till, he was again questioned, but he declared his innocence in the most emphatic manner, and offered to be searched on the spot to prove his honesty. He then submitted to an examination, but nothing was found until his shoes were taken off, allot in them was found the whole of the money abstracted from his employer's till. He was committed fur trial. Sarah Adams was charged with stabbing her husband in the arm with a knife. It appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock on the preceding night, a man named Conney, on passing Smith's place, Smith's-street, Camberwell, hearing cries of murder, proceeded into the house, and saw a woman with a table knife, in the act of stabbing a man, whom she wounded in the arm. The witne.=s interfered, and seizing the knife from her hands, she then flew to the fire-place, and taking up the poker struck her husband on the head with it ; this weapon being taken out of her hands, she then grasped a pair of scissors, and attempted to use them also, but being overpowered she was then taken into custody. The husband, who did not attend the examination, was represented as hav ing been very seriously injured. The prisoner, in her defence, said that her husband dragged her by the hair of the head, and attempted to throw her out of the window, and that she took up the weapons to defen d herself. Mr. TRAIL remanded the prisoner until Friday. Q UEEN-SQUARE. _ . Jeremiah Austin a nd JVnz. Harley, two fashionably-dressed young men, residing in Euston-square, were charged with the following " gentlemanly" conduct in the public streets : Between twelve and one o'clock this morning, the defend ants, who had evidently taken more than a quantum sujicit of wine, were proceeding along the Brompton-road, from the neighbourhood of which they had not long emerged, and the night air acting upon the fermented liquors, which they had quaffed, and their reason having evaporated, they evinced a predilection for a "lark," not by wre'ncking knockers from the doors of the houses which they passed, a mode of amuse ment latterly at a lamentable discount, but by unceremoni ously bumping up against peaceable and unoffending pedes trians, ejecting them from the pavement, and laying them sprawling in the dusty road ; women, too—perhaps those frail creatures who crowd the broad pavements of our London streets at night they, too, were rather roughly dealt with by these inebriated " gentlemen." The police, in their laudable anxiety for the public safety, re monstrated with the defendants on the impropriety and indecency of their conduct. What ! a policeman dare to advise gentlemen, to remonstrate with them, to interfere with their rational, innocent amusements ! Mr. Austin, cer tainly the most violent, and most dissipated, when we con sider that it required a whole posse of policemen to take him to the station-house, struck and kicked the policeman several times, who, in self-defence drew his staff, and sprang his rattle for assistance. Blood flowed in copious streams from the constable's nose ; another policeman was kicked severely on a dangerous part of his person, from which he suffered the most acute pain. Mr. Harley was too inebriated to offer such formidable opposition to the police authorities, with the exception of a faint attempt to rescue his friend from the confinement which then awaited him. The defendants severally cross-examined the witnesses without shaking their testimony as to the violence of their conduct; and in their defence complained of the violence of the police, Harley asserting that the police would say any thing, and that he took the arm of one of the policemen, and walked to the station-house without the slightest re luctance. Both the defendants, who appeared to be well educated young men, said it was the first time they had ever been in " durance vile," and seemed ashamed of the position in which they stood. . _ _ Mr. BOND severely reprimanded the young men for their misconduct. Respectable persons were not to be annoyed whilst passing along the streets. He should fine Harley 205., or, in default, commit bins for fourteen days. The case was of A different nature against Austin, who not only assaulted the policeman when spoken to, but after he was taken into custody. With respect to the alleged violence of the police, many persons complained when brought before him that their clothes had been torn by the rough manner with which they had been handled by the police; but they (the police) had no object in ill-treating persons whom they took into custody, and whenever they used violence, it merely showed that the parties were violent themselves. He (Austin) must pay a fine of 31., or be committed for one month. We believe the fines were ultimately paid. CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas completed his fifteenth year of judicial office yesterday, and is:consequently entitled to claim a full re tiring pension; but this learned and excellent judge has no idea at present of resigning the office he has so long orna mented. A plan is in agitation for sending to the Australian colonies one entire regiment, annually. We shall hail the adoption of such a measure with feelings of lively satisfaction, for it will put an end to the demoralising effects produced by a corps being divided into fragments for a continuous period of three years, one part being at Chatham ' another at the antipodes, and others at sea on their outward voyage. The proposed arrangement would also lead to another beneficial result; it would enable the Commander-in-Chief to relieve one regiment per year in India, independently of extra re liefs, and thus shorten the long and arduous tour of duty of the corps serving in that country.—United Set rice Gazette. A ROYAL PRESENT.—Amongst the many fine cattle shipped per the steamer for London, on Wednesday last, an ox of the Anp - u., sshire breed attracted general admi ration, on account of its beautiful symmetry and great size and weight. Its weight was computed, by competent judges, to be little short of 150 stones Dutch. We understand that this splendid animal goes as a present to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. —Dundee Advertiser. _ - _ - AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.-011 Friday the Mayor of Limerick was entering the Exchange to preside at a meet ing which he called, in compliance with a requisition to ad dress Mr. O'Connell in his captivity, when he was suddenly taken ill, and died almost immediately. Death was caused by the rupture of a blood-vessel. On Wednesday last, clothes, apparently those of a gentleman, were found on the beach, near Knightstone, Weston-super-Mare. In one of the pockets was an order book and card-case with cards, bearing the following ad dress :—" J. Brokenshir, wine and spirit merchant, 63, Broad-street, Bloomsbury." It is supposed the owner of the clothes was drowned whilst bathing.—Keene's Bath Journal. THE BANKER'S PARCEL ROBBERY.— James Richards, the person charged with having passed certain notes, forming part of the property which had been contained in a stolen banker's parcel, was, on Friday, finally examined and committed for trial at Luton, Beds. Mr. Robinson, who attended for him, tried to induce the magistrates to accept bail, but they refused. DETERMINED SUICIDE FROM FEAR OF WANT.— Monday afternoon, Mr. Wakley. M.P., held an inquest at the Royal Standard, Sale-street, Paddington, on the body o f Joseph Paice, a butler, out of place. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been in a very melancholy mood in consequence of being out of a situation for the last nine months. He lately threatened, on several occasions, to de stroy himself, to avoid distress. On Friday evening, he re turned to his lodgings, 25, Sale-street, in a very exeited state, flung a chair at his landlady, and exhibited other symptoms of insanity. He retired to his room about ten O'clock, and was shortly afterwards found in bed, suffering frightfully from the effects of a cup of vitriol which be had drank. Air. Field, M.D., 4, Stanhope-place, was called in, and administered, but in vain, every andidote, as the de ceased expired at three o'clock the following morning, im ploring forgiveness of his Maker. The jury returned a ver dict, " That the deceased destroyed himself, but whether he was insane or not there was no evidence to prove."
