COUNTY COURTS BILL. • . . In answer to a question from Mr. IIAWES, whether it was the intention . of GOvernment to bring in a County Courts Bill, and when ? Sir J. GRAHAM said it had, already been stated by his Right Hon. Friend (Sir R. Peel) in the early part of the evening, that, in the beginning of the next week, he would state the course the Government intended to pursue, as well on the Bills already before the House as with those they contemplated introducing. The House then, at a Quarter to Ten o'clock, adjourned until Monday next. average of the last four years, instead of limiting it to the last three months. Sir R. PEEL said it was impossible to take the ave rage so as to suit every case. The period taken was that which involved the least risk of disturbing any in terest. The longer the period over which they extended the average, the more numerous would be the cases that would require special clauses. The country banks ought to set the diminution of competition, he was procuring for them, against the restriction he was imposing with respect to the average. Mr. P. M. STEWART read the clause which is to prevent banks of six partners from issuing notes after the number of partners shall exceed six, and moved as an amendment to the end of the clause, " provided always that it shall be lawful forany banking company to trans fer its business to anv other banking company, who shall thereupon be entitled to add the circulation of such bank to the previous amount of its own circulation." Sir R. PEEL said it was the intention of the Govern ment to respect existing interests, and to protect estab- - lishments in the privileges they enjoyed ; but it was cer tainly not their intention to permit them to hawk about those privileges in the market. He knew that, be could not prevent the addition of partners in private banks up to the number of six, and he had therefore not tried to do so; but he wished private banks and country banks to adhere to their respective characters. The Hon. Gentleman proposed—it was as well to use plain language—to allow the joint-stock banks to buy up the privilege of issue from the private banks, and to add it to their own circulation. But several joint-stock banks had an immense number of branches, with expensive ma chinery, which were carried on not with advantage but from a desire to monopolise the business of several dis tricts. He had no objection to see new joint-stock banks established under better regulations, which should carry on their circulation in Bank of England notes. But he must refuse to adopt the suggestion of the Hon. Member, and he hoped the country bankers would stand by him in resisting this attempt to swallow up their business. Mr. DARBY said the country banks took the same view of the subject as the Right Hon. Baronet. Mr. HAWES said that the object of the Right Hon. Gentleman was to bring Bank of England notes into cir culation, and ultimately to have one bank of issue. He did not think that was a desirable thing. He thought they were doing great injustice in under-estimating the stability and utility of country banks. Mr. DARBY thought that the Bill would give great security to country banks, and he believed that was the opinion of the country bankers themselves. He did not see why the Bill should put an end to the circulation of country banks unless they found it rather for their ad vantage to circulate Bank of England paper. Mr. WILLIA MS thought the great value of the measure was, that a greater amount of gold would be circulated than at present, and that the paper circulation would be diminished, the unsteadiness thereby created would be lessened. The Right Hon. Gentleman was supported by the country and the House in regard to this measure, and the fewer concessions he made the better. Mr. M. PHILIPS thought the tendency of this mea sure was decidedly good. He considered the conclusion to which the Hon. Member for Lambeth jumped, that there was to be ultimately one bank of issue, was too hasty. Mr. P. M. STEWART said that he hoped they would never approach nearer to one bank of issue than they would under the present Bill, which he wished well to, though he thought it was dangerous. He would not press his amendment to a division. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 12 was agreed to., Clause 13 was agreed to. On clause 14 being proposed, Mr. P. HOWARD (on behalf of Mr. P. Turner, and in his absence) moved, in line 1 of clause 14, to expunge the words ." Provided always," and to insert at the end of line 16 of clause 14:—" Provided always, that all special circumstances arising out of such contract or agreement be explained to such Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes by one of the contracting parties to such contract or agreement ; and that the said Commis sioners of Stamps and Taxes shall have power to take such special circumstances into their consideration in ad justing the average under such contract or agreement. And be it enacted, that with a view to prevent loss to the working classes, that from and after the pass ing of this Act, the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, at their bank, or branch bank of issue, shall take, as of the value of twenty shillings, all sove reigns, and as of the value of ten shillings, all half sove reigns tendered to them, which equally balance in the scales, notwithstanding the same may not turn the ba lance ; and that any loss arising to the said Governor of and Company of the Bank of England from the taking of such sovereigns or half sovereigns, shall be deducted from the profit arising to the public from any increase of the issues of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, before such profit be paid over to the public." Sir R. PEEL opposed the motion. He should de cidedly object to any such power being given to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, as that proposed in the amendment. After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP and Mr. W. WILLIAMS, the amendment Was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. Clause 15 was agreed to without discussion. On clause 16, in reply to a question from Mr. P. M. STEWART, Sir R. PEEL said no clause in the Bill, except the 10th, would apply to Scotland ; but he reserved to him self the right of bringing in a Bill at a future time, to extend the operation of the Bill both to Scotland and Ireland. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses to 19 inclusive were then agreed tq. On clause 20 being proposed, Mr. S. WORTLEY suggested that some restraint should be imposed upon the joint-stock banks. Sir R. PEEL said that the object was to encourage fair competition in respect to banking. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses of the Bill were then agreed to, as were also the schedules. Mr. BARNARD proposed that the following clause should be added to the Bill :—" And be it further enacted, that it shall be lawful, with the consent of the Queen in Council, for the Governor and Directors of the Bank of England, in their banking department, from time tp time, to withdraw and exchange Bank of England notes of 51. and upwards for Bank of England notes under Si., to an amount not exceeding two millions, to be with drawn and re-exchanged within one year from the first exchange, any law to the contrary notwithstanding." Sir E. PEEL objected to the,clause, which was ulti mately withdrawn. The preamble was then agreed to, and the Bill was re ported to the House amid much cheering. . Mr. COLLETT wished toknow whether clause 19 ap plied to banks in London ? Sir R. PEEL—Certainly. He did not see why the public should not know who were the responsible parties in banks in London as well as the country. The. Education Bill went through Committee. The Charitable Loans Societies (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to 'be reported on Monday next. The Protection of Purchasers (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. rimental principle--it was merely an additional check, against the possibility of abuse. Mr. W. THOMPSON considered this Bill as a warn ing to country bankers, that at the end of the eleven years during which it was to exist there would be only one bank of issue. The amount of private banks' issues was to be 9,000,0002, of which the Bank of England was to supply two-thirds. Towards the end of the eleven years he feared there would be 'a - great void occasioned by the withdrawal of the country circulation, which would be prejudicial to the great interests of the country. He therefore should have preferred that the Bank of England had power to issue to the full amount of circu lation withdrawn by the country bankers. Mr. C. WOOD was inclined to agree with his Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets, but he did not think the point of sufficient importance to take the sense of the Committee on it, because the danger con templated by the amendment was not likely to arise. Mr. TURNER hoped, if it was intended at the end of ten years to establish one bank of issue, the Right Hon. Baronet would have the manliness to avow it. He denied that the losses by the failure of country banks fell on the lower orders, who seldom had more than a U. note in the bank. They more often suffered from light gold. Sir R. PEEL would give no Opinion on what Parlia ment Might do in ten years. But, clearly, this Bill would give a better guarantee for the security of the circula tion of the country banks than to leave matters as they were. He was not disposed to enter now into the consi deration of the condition of private banks. He had pur posely avoided entering into the details of country banks. He did not wish to state the case of the country batiks, or even the circumstances which had occurred since this Bill had been before the House. Sir W. CLAY withdrew his amendment. Sir J. GUEST thought it was unfair in the Right Hon. Baronet thus to infer a general instability of coun try banks, because one bank hail failed for 17,000/. It would be better for the Right Hon. Baronet to speak out at once. Sir R. PEEL denied having made any such inference. He thought that country banks and joint-stock banks in general might be conducted with perfect security ; but he thought at the same time that it was right to take securities against abuses. It was the interest of well conducted establishments that such securities should be taken. Mr. MANGLES said, although the Right Hon.. Gen tleman had disclaimed any intention to doubt the stabi lity of private banks in general, yet he must say he had spoken in a very significant and threatening tone. He pointed his finger and spoke in a tone as much as to say, "I could tell a great many things about you which you . would not like to hear said." He spoke in a most mineciems, manner.. —(A laugh:) CoIoneI.SIBTHORP said, at all events he had more confidence in private banks than he had in the Exche quer bills.—(A laugh.) Mr. M. PHILIPS said, that his first act in public life was to express his approval of the conduct of the manu facturers of Manchester in declining to have anything to do with the I/. notes of local or private bankers. He thought it had been a most fortunate circumstance for the whole of that district that so resolute a course had been taken on that occasion ; for he felt convinced that by it the peace of the community had been preserved. He hoped his lion. Friend the Member for Truro would not think, because he advocated this clause, that he was inimical to well-regulated country banks ; for such was not the fact. •Mr. MUNTZ asked, if this Bill and its system was to regulate the circulation of the Bank of England and joint-stock banks, why could it not regulate the currency as well ? What would be the consequence of with drawing 100,0001 of local notes and replacing them by Bank of England notes ? Sir R. PEEL sail, that assuming the circulation of the country banks to be 9;000,000/. and that of the Bank of England 21;000,0001, and that the country circulation of 9,000,0001. was suddenly withdrawn, the case would. stand thus :—They permitted the Bank of England to issue 14,000,0004 of the 21,000,000/. upon securities, and assumed that an issue upon bullion of one third, or 7,000.000/. would ensure the whole convertibility of the 21,000,000/. Supposing; then, the 9,000,000/. to be voluntarily. withdrawn by the country banks and sup plied by the Bank of England, they admitted at once that 7,000,000/. would not be sufficient to support the convertibility of 30,000,000 L, and would apply the same principle to the additional 9,000,0001. which they had applied to the 21,600,000 L, namely, that 3,000,000/ be issued upon bullion, and 6,000,000/. upon securities. If the estimate of the total circulation of notes throughout the country should be 30,000.000/., then there must be a stock -of 10,000,000 L of bullion in order to support that Circulation, upon the same principle that a stock of 7,000,0001. was assumed to be sufficient to support a cir culation to 21,000,0001. In reply to a question from another ]fox. 7:4#maza, Sir R. PEEL said that the country'iiGuld no doubt in that case be subjected to the expense of increasing the supply of gold by about 3,000,000 L, but that it would on the other hand amply gain by the security which that increased supply would give to the monetary transactions of the country. Mr. E. TURNER exclaimed against what he denomi nated the enorinoas inaccuracy of the assertion, that the country bankers kept no gold as a foundation for their issues. On the contrary, he knew that in the western counties with which he was acquainted, one-fourth or one-third of the issues were on gOld, and the wages of the mining concerns in Cornwall were always to -be had of'the bankers in specie. Nine millions of notes issued on no monetary basis beyond their own credit, would, indeed be a entlici?nt reason for annihilating the system. It was, however, far otherwise. Sir W. CLAY asked where the gold was to come from which was to be the basis of the one-third of these issues from the Bank of- England ? If from the existing circulation, there must, of course, be a diminution to that extent of the whole circulation. From the country issues ? That could not be, according to the statement that. the country bankers kept no gold as the basis of their issues—a statement, indeed, contra dicted by the Hon. Member fer Truro but inconsider ately, for they need not keep moro gold than was re quired for purposes of convenience, seeing that the Bank of England notes were a legal tender. Was this gold• then, to come from' the banking department of the Bank ? Why, the Bank, like all other banking concerns, only kept money enough for current purposes. Was it to come from the issue department of the Bank ? That would be but taking out of one hand to put into another. The effect of the requiring, then, one-third of these Bank issues to be in gold must be to cause pro tanto a diminution of the currency.—(" No.") It was agreed the: circulation was not now in excess. If it should be hereafter so, the present measure was designed to cure it. Where was the principle gathered that a paper cur rency should be on one-third gold and the other two thirds securities ? It was a purely arbitrary rule, de rived neither from principle• nor experience. The only rule to go by was the amount of drain from abroad, as the measure of the bullion we required - for the basis of our circulation. Under a senrid system there could be no such drainS as 7,000,000/. or 10,000,0001., The real security was not the emount of bullion. With these con victiens, and feeling. that a defalcation in the circulation to the extent of 3,000,000/, the amount alluded to by the Right Iron: Baronet, would cause great derangement, he must persevere in his objections. Sir R. PEEL 'could not altogether understand the Hon. Gentleman's objection to a measure of which he approved in principk. The effect of the measure would he not to diminish the note circulation in the slightest degree, but to preserve credit by - Securing convertibility. Mr. GISBORNE thought that there was no way in which this country coull secure gold but by offering more goods in exch ige than other nations could give, which would have the effect of' lowering prices, and that. Was his ground of obieetion to the measure, such a prin ciple being inconsistent with our engagements and in volving loss to the Public creditor. Sir R. PEEL contended, that if the Bill passed in its present shape, the Bank of England would be able to conduct both the operations which he had previously de scribed. There were 16,000,000/. Of gold in the Bank, but 10,000,000/. sve , u Id be sufficient to work out his plan. Mr. GISBORYOi said he had as much right to appeal to a time when the,,l3ank had only t wo m illi ons of gold in its c o ff ers , as t h e Hon. Baronet had to appeal to its now having sixteen ',millions. Sir R. PEW, suit! he wanted to avert the paroxysms of credit that led to guch a result. Mr. KEMEILE sutl)ported the amendment. Mr. C. WOOD i.ess alio inclined to support it. After a few word! from Mr. S. WORTLEY, an] Col. SIBTHORP, • Mr, T. BARING- said, in the present stare of the Bank there would me no necessity for this clause. In a few years, however,, there might b e su ch a c h ange o f a trade as would pr o ,ice an efflux of gold, and then re course would be heal to the clause, and the effect would he to diminish the :circulation by three millions. The Bank itself had n o interest whatever in asking for issues. —(Heat, hew Lord J. RUSSELL begged to ask of the Right Hon. Gentleman, how h e could explain the advantage to be gained by the 13aei.'s of England in their issues by the substitution of their notes for country notes ? Sir R. PEEL said that the country banks were obliged to regulate their issues by those of the Bank of England. The Noble Lord isoked what inducement the Bank of England had to s ubstitute Bank of England paper• for country paper, the t it would have no profit from ; that was all very true, sut they would by that means guard aztinst loss. Bank: notes would be appreciated, and the consequence would.i be an influx of gold for notes, by means of which tl its Bank would make a profit. He knew it would be impossible to introduce this measure without causing s bine clamour, but he trusted the House would allow the measure to have a fair trial. He trusted the House would not adopt the amendment of the Honourable Baronet. He believed if the House adopted the Bill, i would be found to work welt. He trusted, therefore, that the House would support him in adhering to this el %use. Mr. F. BARIN, x would support the clause, and the Bill generally.

Sarah Murray, a cook, in the employment of Mrs. Janc . Faith Aust, the proprietress of a boarding-house, at 68, Guildford -street. Russell-square, was charged with stealing a quantity of house linen, wearing apparel, and a turquoise ring, the property of her mistress ; also with stealing a satin rest, belonging to Mr. Sauley, a student for the bar, who lives there. - Both cases were established against the prisoner, most of the stolen property having been found in her box or in the pawn office ; but she attempted to justify herself fir the robbery nn the incipient barrister, by alleging that he had criminal intercourse with her. Mr. Sauley, however, demurred to the plea in abate ment. The prisoner admitted having stolen Mrs. Aust's house linen, and seeing Mrs. Aust was determined to prosac.te her, she stated that Mrs. Aust was in the constant habit of giving false characters to servants, and sometimes had ten or a dozen servants in her house, who, after re maining there a day or two, received an excellent cha racter of long servitude from Mrs. Aust.

D'Este, on his claim to the dukedom of Sussex. The judges, as usual, were summoned to attend. Among the peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Redesdale, Lord Brougham, Lord C amp b e ll, L or d D enman, and Lord Bexley. Among the judges were the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Chief Baron of the E xc h equer , M r. J os • tice Patteson, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. -Justice Coltman, and Mr. Baron Parke. It was not till eleven o'clock that their Lordships were able to form a Committee, in consequence of the absence of peers. Counsel having been called in, copies were put in of the Decree of the Council of Trent, as far as it related to marriage, also the Bull of Pope Benedict XIV., andseveral other works. Dr. Thomas Brown was Vicar Apostolic for \Vales. Had the authority of the Pope there. There were dispensations the Pope could grant which witness could not. It was not necessary 'to hold the office of bishop to have a delegatingau thority. Dr. Wiseman had not the authority he had. The question of marriage came under his jurisdiction, and his Judgments were acted upon in Rome. Had had occasion to go to Rome to consult. the tribunals of the Propaganda. Knew well the law of Rome with respect to marriage. The head of the Propaganda was a Cardinal, and all the judges were so. There were no pleadings viva voce before that Court, they were all written. There were officersof that Court who were called consultors, who were ecclesiastics. It was not neces sary that they should take a degree in the civil law, but it was usually .conferred upon them. It was not necessary that they should study law, but they usually did. The Propa ganda was the authority to which the officers of the Church appealed on any difficult question. There was no appeal from their decision, except to the Pope. There was another tribunal, called the Congregation of the Council of Trent : it was formed of Cardinals, and had jurisdic tion over Roman Catholics livieg in countries not Catholic, while the Propaganda had jurisdiction over Catholic States. There was also a tribunal called the Holy Inquisition, the head of which was the Pope himself. This was the first tri bunal in Rome. There were several other inferior tribunals. If any question came before the inferior tribunals on the sub ject of marriage, there"was an appeal to the higher tribunals. Was acquainted with the Council of Trent in all its pro visions. There was nothing in that Council with respect to the marriage of Protestants at Rome. According to the best of witness's belief, a marriage of two Protestants at Rome, by a Protestant, would be held valid, and the issue of the marriage would be entitled to any property which be longed to the parents. _ By the LORD CRANCELLOR—If it was not for the Council of Trent a contract of marriage, per verba de presenti, between Catholics, would be held good. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-4f any doubts are enter tained as to the validity of a marriage in witness's district, the case came before him for judgment, and that judgment would be acknowledged at Rome. Knew the practice of the Courts at Rome, as he had been on appeals there. An appeal from witness's decision would go to the Propaganda. A marriage between Roman Catholics and Protestants would not take place before the parish priest. Witness was in a condition to become a Cardinal, if the Pope thought proper to make him one. Sir THOMAS WILDE said they had made a search for the class of per, ons to which their Lordships had referred, but none, he believed, were to be found in London. A letter was put in from the Secretary of State to Lord Grenville, by which it was proposed to allow Lady Augusta Murray au annuity, provided she mould not use the Royal arms. A, clerk, from Coutts and Co.'s, proved the payment of an annuity of 1,800/. a year to Lady Augusta Murray. This closed the case for the claimant. ' Mr: ERLE then proceeded to sum up the case on the behalf of the claimant. It had been exhibited that a marriage de facto existed between the parents of the claimant, and if there was any law probiting it,' it was for his Learned Friends to bring it forward ; and should it not be brought forward, the case of the claimant, he should submit, was made out. The only point now was as to the validity of the marriage of the claimant's parents. The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded, at some length, to detail the facts of the case, as it had been detailed in the evidence. The rule as to the exclu ' don of declarations offered in evidence did not apply in cases of pedigree. In the establishment of a general public right affecting a large portion ef the community, such as a right oeway, hearsay evidence was admissible. In cases of pedigree, the law had made an exception in favour of the declarations of relatives as to specific facts, and their de clarations were admissible in evidence, provided those decla rations were made with an undisturbed mind, and not in contemplation of any suit. Provided such was the case, declarations were admissible in cases of birth, marriage, and pedigree. Now, if the de elaration of parties was sufficient to establish the fact of marnage, it was also sufficient to establish the niece- where and the 'manner how that marriage had been solemnised. That had been the doctrine laid down by Lord Kenyon and by Lord Chief Justice Pratt. The Learned Counsel then quoted several cases in support of his argument, that in cases of pedigree, the declarations of deceased, parties were admissible in evidence. He thought, therefore, he .night take as established that these parties be lieved that they were legally married at Rome, and that they considered that marriage as binding. His Learned Friend, as he understood, would contend that, according to the law of Rome, and the decree of the Council of Trent, this marriage would be considered void at Rome. Now he was prepared to submit to their Lordships two an swers to that objection—first, that, according to the opinions of persons learned in the laws of Rome, who had stated their. opinions at their Lordships' bar, the marriage would • be a valid marriage according to the laws of Rome. Secondly, he would submit that, even if their Lordships should be of opinion that the marriage would not be valid according to the lawaof Rome, still it would have been morally impossible for persons situated as Prince Augustus and Lady Augusta were situated at Rome to comply with the provisions of the Council of Trent,they were fully authorised to marry ex necessitate, and that such a marriage wo u ld b e valid. With regard to the first point, he would refer their Lordships to the evidence of th e l earne d COLONZat, SUGAR.—The sales of British Plantation h ave b een aga i n persons who had been" examined before, and he would also 'urge, and at fair rates, though, in some instances, a slight refer their Lordships to several jurists who had written before reduction has been accepted.

Depositions for trial were then taken down, and' the prisoner was locked up. A respectably-attired man, named Henry .Pouneer, was charged with the following gross misconduct :—On the pre vious night Police-constable 281 took a young woman into custody for being drunk and riotous, and was conveying her to the station-house through White Lion-street, when the prisoner came up, and in a blustering manner asked the constable if the woman was his wife, and when he replied in the negative, the prisoner exclaimed, " Then I'll be d—d if you shall take her to the station-house," and so saying, he struck the complainant a violent blow on the breast, and re peated his violent endeavours to rescue the prisoner from his custody. At length both prisoners were secured. • Mr. GREENWOOD—What are ypu? Prisoner—A billiard marker. Mr. GREENWOOD—What have you to say to the charge? Prisoner (jocosely)—Oh, I was drunk, and knew nothing about it. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 21., or a fortnight's iini prisonment._ _ _ _ MARLBOROOGH- e STREET. Three half-naked children, named Margaret Smith, aged ten years, Louisa Penny, aged eleven years, and Caroline Day, aged eleven years, were charged with having been found in the area of the mansion of Lord Dinorbeu, in South Audley street, Grosvenor• square. Police-constable, No. 107 C, stated that between six and seven o'clock last evening, as he was on duty passing by his L.rdship's house, he saw the girls crouched up in the corner of the area, endeavouring to conceal themselves from his ob servation. As numerous robberies have lately been :com mitted in that neighbourhood by children going down the area under the pretence of begging, he took them into custody. Wilks, the gaoler, said the prisoners had been committed several times from that Court. They were sent out by their parents ostensibly to beg; but, in fact, to steal everything they could lay their hands on. - The children, on being questioned, obstinately refused .to disclose the residence of their parents. Inspector Plume, of the C division, said that they made a considerable disturbance when locked up in the cell at the ,station-house, and used obscene and disgusting language. They were ordered to be detained until inquiries could be made respecting them. MARKET NE WS.—( YESTERDAY.) COX4M-EXCIZAZSGZI. The returns for the present week show a fair average arri val of English Wheat—viz., 4,730 quarters; hence we had a good supply of that article on offer. Owing to the late fine showers, the general demand • for Grain was in a very de pressed state. However, the finest parcels of Wheat of home produce were quite as dear; but other kinds might have been purchased on easier terms. From abroad we have received 8,500 quarters of Wheat, duty on which bas been paid on 1,600 quarters. Both free and bonded qualities were very dull, and the terms lower.
