In the Lords a great number of Bills received the Royal Assent; among otfiers, the Bank Charter Bill and the Dittsenters' Chapels Counsel was heard against the Gaming Bill, and -witnesses were called. The first witness was a man te the name of RUSSELL, who stated he was the nt.':orney in the qui tam actions, and if these actions were lost, the expenses of one of them would be ,aboue 1,000/. The examination of the witness led to no result which could guide their Lordships, and the a , ? a ir was postponed, the witness being ordered to att e ,‘d au Monday. They Lord Chancellor called the attention of the House to a statement i n the Mornin g Chronicle, relative to the Irish State Tr ials, to the effect that he had said there could be no doubt that the array was fraudulen t. Nothing, he must say, was further from his intenti ons. He merely made a remark on a sup position pu 1: by Mr. HILL. LordeCY t rENHAM said the statement of the Morning Chronicles vs. g incorrect ; but the misapprehension was excustiblei, con sidering the difficulty of understanding long argt unentsl. The G. reat Aouthern and Western Railway Bill was read a e thi r d time and passed. Lord MONTEAGLE moved that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Art-Unions Bill The Duke of CAMBRIDGE supported the motion, and bore testimony to the great utility of these insti tutions. He thought it would be a great advantage if the Bill were passed in time for the present pur poses of these unions. These remarks were received with loud cheers, and the Bill passed through Com mittee. Some other Bills were discussed, of which the Par liamentary report gives a brief summary. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when Mr. GLADSTONE moved certain resolutions relative to Railway Bills, which were agreed to. Mr. PLUMPTRE hoped that railway travelling on the Lords' Day would be prevented, but he found no Member to sup port him. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The House, on the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, went into Committee on the Joint-Stock Companies Bill, the clauses were agreed to, and the Bill, with amendments, was ordered to be reported on Tuesday, at twelve o'clock. On the order of the day being read for the House going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. WYSE called upon the Government to make some statement re specting the disposal of money voted for the purposes of education. Lord HowicK concurred in the motion, and urged on the Government the necessity of encouraging education among the lower classes by holding out promises of appointments in inferior stations, such as those of tide-waiters and excisemen, to the most pro ficient scholars. No member of the Government made any remark at the time, but on Mr. WYSE urging the Government to express their feelings, Sir R. PEEL said he concurred in many of the sentiments ex pressed by the Noble Lord, and particularly with the suggestion for giving appointments in public offices to the most deserving scholars. Mr. M. GIBSON called the attention of the House to the incendiarism now prevalent in the eastern counties, particularly Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, and moved an address to her MAJESTY to issue a Commission to inquire into the causes. Sir J. GRAHAM resisted the motion. As he had said on a former occasion, the trials now in progress would elicit facts, in reference to these fires, pro bably of more importance than any that could be ob tained by a Commission, and he trusted the Hon. Member would not persevere in his motion. A num ber of speakers followed, and a division took, when there were for the motion 41, against it 130 — majority, 89. Mr. WYSE, on the House going into Committee for a grant to Maynooth College, moved an address to her MAJESTY for the enlargement and improve ment of exibting Catho'ic institutions in Ireland, to supply the present deficiencies. The motion, after a lengthened discussion of much interest, was negatived by a majority of 57. The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. The Morning Post of Thursday has another of those rambling, eccentric articles which, of late, have occasioned so much surprise and division to that por tion of the " Pension public," which constitutes its readers. The first part of the article is devoted to a wholesale condemnation of Ministers for having abandoned the principles which they upheld when in opposition, and disap2ointed the just hopes of their friends who gave them such a triumphant majority at the election of 1841 ; and the last part is taken up with a sort of indirect defence of them—that is to say, it is an attempt to show that they are by no means so bad as might be imagined, notwithstanding their avowed duplicity and tergiversation, being neither " vulgar clutchers of place," nor " schemers for power and patronage," but, on the contrary, men of the strictest personal integrity and the best inten tions ! We do not exactly see how disinterestedness and integrity are to be reconciled to craft and abandon ment of principle ; and most men would be inclined to say that these qualities are clearly incompatible, but as the Post appears to think otherwise, we shall leave it to explain the discrepancy in the best way it can to its readers, while we proceed to quote a remarkable passage in which Ministers are dealt with in the most unceremonious manner possible, and roundly accused despite their admitted " integrity" and " good intentions" —of having falsified their pledges, and betrayed their Conservative supporters. " The Minister elected by the nation," argues our Contemporary, " has done more, and said more, than any one who went before him, to carry forward the practices and the princi ples which he was to have used his power to thwart, impede, and obstruct. He, and his most active col leagues, have, with all the emphasis of gesticulation, recorded their conviction of the truth and the com mon sense of the extreme maxims of the Anti-Corn law League. For a moment forgetting the intrinsic effect of what has been already done, consider the spirit of the Ministerial course ! Is it not still all in one direction ? Every step in the very road which Conservative electors said was the wrong road ? Not simply an isolated act, but the whole scheme of Mi nisteiial action has been to loosen what it was to se cure, to pull down what it was to prop and strengthen." And yet the men who have acted in this unprinci pled style, who have gained office under false pretences, and adopted the very system of policy which they had led their supporters to believe they " would thwart, impede, and obstruct" by every means in their power —the men who have played this tricky game of ex pediency, are immediately afterwards patted on the back by our Contemporary, and even warmly eulogised as men of " personal integrity" and "good intentions !" Truly the Post is a most unaccountable logician,at least as it regards its comments on the conduct of Government, fur what it says in one sentence it almost invariably makes a point of unsaying in the next. In fact, it is never in the same mind for two days together, and he must be a wonderfully shrewd fellow who can diccver exactly what its politics are. It is not Liberal, it is not Conservative, it is riot Radical, it is not even Tory, for it is the cha racteristic of Toryism to repudiate all crotchety opinions, and discountenance everything like fcee, bold discussion ; and Heaven knows the Post is free, bold, and sweeping enough in its discussions ! If, then, our Contemporary be neither Whig, Tory, nor Radical; if he hate Lord J. RUSSELL, take fright at Sir R. PEEL, and consider Mr. COBDEN to be the great dragon mentioned in the Revelations, what is he ?—to what man or party of men does he adhere ? So far as we can gather from the tendency of his diurnal lucubrations, we should say that he was a Jacobite of the year 1688, who looks on the Revolution of that year as the most unconstitutional of all possible Revolutions, and the House of Commons, whether reformed or unreformed, as the worst of all possible institutions. Such being his politics —or, rather, such being the only intelligible politics we can discover in him—no wonder he is horror-struck at the bare idea of the Premier making con cessions from time to time to the spirit of the age, and acknowledging, by his professions Gf good-will to the principles of free-trade, that he looks on the Anti-Corn-law League as "a great fact," to whose fast-spreading moral influence he will one day or other be compelled to succumb. But, despite the hysterical agonies of our Contemporary, and his convic tion of " the right divine of kings to govern wrong," the popular movements he so much deprecates must proceed; and, in particular, that great national move ment of the League must of necessity, year by year, acquire an additional impetus, till it has achieved a decisive victory over all the combined forces which prejudice, ignorance; and self-interest, may bring to bear against it. The House' of Commons is surely, affecting a return to the good old times of its puritanism and its prudery ! We see nightly indications of the " Crom wellian" facility which carried the decisions of the Parliament of the Protector always one way— namely, that which had been previously indicated to it as the course which "his Highness" would have this or that particular question or business to follow—ac cording to the communications vouchsafed by one of his Secretaries of State or Chief Commissioners of the Treasury. This practice has been accurately fol lowed by the majorities of the present House in dealing with such matters at the "Factories Labour Bill" and the " Sugar Duties." When the head of her MAJESTY'S Administration remonstrated with the $6 COLIVCtiVO wisdom " of the country on the injudi cious determinations they had recorded, by impOrtant majorities against the Government propositions re specting those measures, the majorities we speak of , listened and waxed penitent. But when " his High ness," with all the gravity and plausibility of the Protector, and with not one atom less of that arbi- 1 trary stateman's well-known truthfulness and sin cerity, protested that if they did not rescind their determinations he was determined to expose the empire to the calamity of his retirement from office, the obsequious parties to such unpalatable exhibitions of independent judgments, submitted themselves to his. They unvoted, by equally important majorities, what they had voted, and so enabled the Minister to carry his points— points which it seems " to have repented them" to have ever thwarted. But the House of Commons of 1844, carrying its rage of imitation to a period some ten years earlier than the Cromwellian Parliament, is evidently bent on rivalling its predecessor of 1644 in its abnegation of all " self-glorifying pretensions.' It might have already passed the most " self-denying ordinance" which a Chamber of Conventiclers or Covenanters could have devised for the expression of their humiliation, were we at liberty to form our own conclusions from the tone of the debate of last night, on Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBB'S motion. Constitutional firmness, public dignity, and self-respect, appear to be properties that are becoming obsolete in the House of Commons even in theory; and in practice, or vindi cation, to have fallen into as utter desuetude as half of its own " standing orders." Mr. DUNCOMBE complained that the " Post-office Committee," recently appointed, could not, as at pre - sent constituted, carry out its inquiries in a proper and efficient manner; that unless he were permitted to be present at the examination of witnesses, they, either from fear of ultimate consequences to them selves, or from other causes, would not depose to all, or to the most important, facts, which they would otherwise speak to. He concluded his speech by moving that he should be " present at the examination of such witnesses as he might think proper to produce in support of the charge which had been made by him." To this motion an amendment was subse quently moved, " that the names of Mr. DUNCOMBE and Mr. MANNERS SUTTON be added to the Commit tee." This proposition was lost on a division. It was supported by 51, opposed by 141 ; and rejected, therefore, by a majority of 91. But the important feature of the debate was this. In complaining that the Committee "had not' made searching inquiry into " facts of which he himself was fully cognizant," he took occasion to ask Sir JAMES GRAHAM " whether any letters of his (Mr. T. DUNCOMBE) had been opened by the Right Hon. Baronet's orders ? This was a question justified by his oath of allegiance, as a Member of that House. If his letters had not been opened by order of the Right Hon. Baronet, they had been pryed into by other persons, and therefore it was doubly incumbent on that House to investigate .the circumstances, and to place the facts on record." This was a most serious question to be propounded thus solemnly to a Minister of the Crown. All we can say upon the "justification" to be adduced for it, is, that we should think an outrage upon the public confidence so gross and scandalous as the violation of a sealed letter, is one upon which the meanest or most insignificant member of the commu nity has as indefeasible a right to complain, and in terms, too, of indignation and displeasure even the very strongest—as the highest personage in the country. We have not the most remote doubt, that the little being who absorbs so signal a share of the attentions and caresses of royalty and of the aristo cracy in this country—the soi-disant General Tom THUMB himself—would have a good action to-morrow against all or any of the higher Post-office authorities for any fact of letter-breaking which he might prove to have occurred in the case of a billet addressed to bis own imperceptibility. But in an assembly of English gentlemen—in the presence of the assembled represen tatives of the Commons of the United Kingdom, such a charge, brought by one of their own body in respect of his own letters—against a public functionary, sitting there in the double capacity, as it were, of a delegate from the people and a Minister of the Crown; must be allowed to have a character of grave and fearful responsibility about it, which it is impossible to ex aggerate. Any man in the situation of• §it JAMES GRAHAM, Secretary of State for the larthie-Depart ment, it might be imagined, would have responded to it under a full and deep perception of this responsi bility. But how did he meet the question ? By (in the first place) a vague (and surely an unmeaning) compliment to Mr. DUNCOMBE on his little proneness " to vapouring." Vapouring, forsooth! As if to com plain,loudly, on the assumption of having been the object of a base, a scurvy, a dishonest system of trickery and fraud, unknown to the spirit and genius ofEnglish deal ing in public or private business, were a mere ad captandum exhibition of bullying ! Sir JAMES pro ceeded thus :—" At the same time he could not re frain from reminding the Hon. Member that he had put a question to him which he was already aware con not, consistently with the avowed and known sense of duty entertained by him (Sir J.GRAHAM), be answered by him." Well ;—we do protest that the serene assurance of the Right Hon. Baronet in ven turing to talk of what his "sense of duty" will prompt him to—and in taking credit for it, too, with the House—in the face of his yet unforgotten, and never to-be-forgiven tampering beforehand with re porters for the public press, on his private missions to Clontarf or to Donnybrook, or anywhere else, where Repeal agitation meetings were likely to be held, at which Repealers could be caught tripping, by some " chiel amang them taking notes ;"—this as surance, we say, though from the Home Secre tary, overcomes our gravity, and shocks even our large allowances for his adventurous mo desty ! Nevertheless, what follows is better. " He had already stated to the Hon. Gentleman, on a former occasion, that the sense of public duty which he entertained forbade him to give any answer to the question put by him.—(Hear.) He (Sir J. GRAHAM) was alone the judge of that sense of duty, and he, acting under that judgment, said, that he could not and would not, give any reply to the Hon. Member's question. If Mr. DUNCOMBH cannot rely in " unhesitating con fidence" on Sir J. GRAHAM'S " sense of duty," he can't have generous simplicity enough to trust a Jew pedlar with his gold watch, on the man's assurance that his " sense of duty " will make him return it to him next day, when he has ascertained what it is worth. That Sir JAMlii should be so sanguine about other people's appreciation of his " sense of public duty," is droll enough. That the House of Commons should' con firm him in his calculations on its credulity is all but incredible, though the fact is before our eyes ! Madrid journals of the lith have bowl received. A meeting of the Members of the last Cortes had been held to appoint a Committee of Direction con nected with the forthcoming elections. Letters from Barcelona state that a ball has been given at Atara zanas in honour of their Majesties. A grand review had taken place, at which the Royal party, attended by Generals NARVAEZ, MEER, PAVIA, and Azusa, the bishop of the diocese, &c. The Castellano, a Madrid journal, contains a peti tion to the Government from the sons of General ESTELLER, who was some time ago assassinated at Saragossa, praying not only that the four individuals condemned for the murder be put to death, but also that they (the General's sons) may have the "honour" of executing them.

The French Government have received dispatches from Marshal BUGEAUD, dated July 3, giving account of another skirmish, for it cannot be called a battle, between the French and Moors on the frontiers of Morocco. It would appear from the Marshal's ac count that while encamped on the banks of a river called Oued-Isly for the purpose of protecting a tribe who had announced their submission, the Moorish chief, on ascertaining this fact, informed the French that he would resist their approach to the French camp and confine them to the mountains. The Moors established themselves in considerable force within cannon-shot of the French ; BUGEAUD, in order to avoid a contest, retreated, and the enemy fired on his rear-guard. Upon this he acted on the offensive, and totally dispersed the Moorish force, which consisted entirely of cavalry, and amounted to about 4,000 men, 3,000 of whom were regular troops. ABD-EL-KADER was present. The French had only six men wounded, and the Moors also suffered very little. The dispatch giving an account of this trumpery affair is given in another part of the paper. A discussion took place in the Chamber of Peers, on the Marquis DE Boisar asking if it were true that an Englishman, who acted as Consul for England and Sar dinia, had obtained an exequatur for the latter, and had not demanded one for the former ? M. VUXEMAIN declined to answer the question, as it had no reference to the business before the Chamber. The Marquis then tried his hand in another quarter, and said—" Since the French Ambassador at the Court of England was in the Chamber, he could per haps give some explanations on the subject. It would be the means of removing much anxiety from the country." But here he met with no better success. The Count DE SAINT AULAIRE felt convinced that there was not a single Noble Peer present who would not be astonished to see him so thoroughly forget his duty, and what was due to propriety, as to enter into a conversation on such a subject with the Marquis DE BOISSY. The Chamber applauded the cutting re buke. The following are extracts from the papers : "The report of General Paixhans,on a credit of 1,662,000 f. for the construction of three steamers between Calais and England, was distributed last week in the Chamber of Deputies. The Debats, in mentioning this fact, says : ' The English have at present for Calais and Ostend eight steamers, which altogether have 650 horse-power. They have given to some of these packets engines of a very supe rior description, and have placed them under the direction of the Admiralty. The Princess Alice, of 140 horse-power, crosses the Channel in 130 minutes, with wind and tide against her. France has on this line but three steamers, to gether of 160 horse-power. They are old crazy vessels, often obliged to demand the assistance of the English steamers when the sea is high, to take over our dispatches.' " The Committee is unanimous in approving of the Bill. The France says :—" The loyal and energetic re monstrances of the Viscount DUBOUCHAGE, in the Chamber of Peers, have borne their fruits. We learn that M. CHARBONNIER DE LA GUESNERIE and M. DE LESPINOT have been set at liberty on bail." The Quotidienne says:— " The Archbishop of Paris, and the Bishops now in the capital, have presented to the Keeper of the Seals a protest against the proposition in the report of M. Thiers for restor ing to the ecclesiastical schools the 12,000 Bourses created by the ordonnances of 1828. The Prelates at the same time protest against the perfidy of attributing to them motives which they do not entertain, and declare that they are ac tuated by no other than the honour of the Church, which will not allow them to accept the wages of servitude." A letter from Rome, in the Gazette des Tribunaux, says : " On the 4th, whilst thousands of persons were visiting the Berberini Galleries, examining the rich collection of statues and objects of curiosity left behind by Thorwaldsen, the sculptor, to o huissiers entered, and, after haviug notified to the public to go out, placed seals on all the doors. They acted thus at the demands of the Kings of Bavaria and Wur temberg, who declared that Thorwaldsen had given them a verbal promise to allow casts to be taken of works of sculp ture which belonged to him. This the executors of the de ceased artist state they have .no knowledge of, and conse quently refused to permit, particularly as such an operation is likely to injure the marble, and still more the cast of his works, of which the Berberini Gallery contains a complete collection. The civil tribunal of Rome has authorised the opposition of the seals on the declaration of the two Kings; but the executors have had a protest served on them at the respective residences which they have chosen at Rome, and have appealed against their proceedings."

Much conversation has taken place in political and com mercial circles this morning at the sorry figure the Ministers cut last, night in the House of Commons, on the clause brought forward by Mr. Burroughes, in Committee on the Poor-law Bill. Staid men in the city, Whig and Tory, think that such displays will end soon in the resignation of the Premier; but only a limited effect has been produced upon the value of the funds, as whoever comes in must respect the national obligations; and as to trade, the opinion is that the move made by Sir Robert Peel, in unfettering the commerce of the country, will be more vigorously followed up by his political opponents, should the mantle of office fall upon the leaders of that party. There is not a single colonial arrival of a late date this morning. The arrangement of the Consol Account is now in pro gress, and stock seems very scarce, having been called yes terday, just before the close of business, at 99k. Money being easy, however, obviates any difficulty that might otherwise be experienced by the Bears. Consols are now marked 99i to A for immediate transfer, and 99i to j for the August Account. The Unfunded Debt is supported at 77s to 79s premium. Bank Stock has realised 199 A ; and East India Stock 285 A.

The Foreign Investments have been comparatively quiet, but Spanish Bonds again look firm, and are higher, the Five per Cents. being 23A and the Three per Cents. 33 ; Portuguese Converted are dull at 45i to A ; Mexican firmer at 36 to h ; Colombian have risen to 13a and Brazilian to 83!. The Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 614 to 62—a further slight advance. The Railway Shares generally rule somewhat higher, and although not in brisk demand, there is a fair business doing.

Mr. Hodges Baily, R.A., has just finished his admi ' rable model of the statue of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Sussex. When completed in marble this statue, we understand, is to be placed in the large room at Freemasons'-hall. The figure of the Duke is of colossal size, and he is repre- sented standing upright in the act of addressing an assembly. The robes in which he is apparrelled are those of a Knight of the Garter, and he wears besides the insignia of the Guelphic order. His attitude is easy and natural, and by no meaiss wanting in dignity, and the likeness will be at once recognised by all who have seen the original. The work is one of the most ably executed that this celebrated artist has yet produced. BANK OF ENGLAND.

Barclay, having been off work on Monday and Tuesday, on the afternoon of the latter day, Mr. Alexander Fuulds, the foreman at the works, accompanied with another person, went down to inspect and see if they were free from the carbonic acid gas, or choke damp, so that the men might go down safely on the day following. On arriving at the bottom of the pit, the air was at once found in so impure a state that the lights went out. Though this took place, Mr. Foulds, in his desire to satisfy himself further, resolved to creep along the floor of the pit, while his companion waited for him at the bottom of the shaft. He had not proceeded far when he was heard to give a moan ; the man accompanying him immediately went to his rescue, but before he found him he also was nearly overpowered. He found Foulds insensible, and being unable to carry him out, he was obliged to go to the surface for assistance, when every means was taken to infuse fresh air into the pit, but it was next morning before this was accomplished, so as to permit a descent, when the sufferer was found lifeless.—Scotch paper. CLYDE IMPOETB.—We observe from the Clyde Bill of Entry of Saturday last, that the foreign imports into the Clyde during the two preceding days (viz. the 11th and 12th) have been of a very extensive kind, and larger, we believe, than during any similar period for the last three years. They amount to 17 vessels, nine of which came to Glasgow, five to Greenock, and three to Port- Glasgow. They bring cargoes chiefly from our North American Colonies. Amongst them, however, are three vessels with guano, two from Ichaboe, and one from Pau de Asucar, containing upwards 1,000 tons of this valu- able fertiliser These foreign ships were accompanied by a large fleet of coasters. On the three preceding days of the same week there were nineteen arrivals from foreign ports, two of the ships being from Ichaboe, with ! 1,250 tons of guano.—Scottish Guardian. ELsimoitz, JULY 13 . —Yesterday morning the- Aurora, Russian frigate, sailed towards the north ; and in the evening a Russian fleet, consisting of nine ships of the line, a frigate, two corvettes, and a brig, anchored in our roads, where they still remain this afternoon, at half-past five, when the post homes, SUMMARY OF NEWSI AND Vttblir Optition. " Who rims may read." FOREIGN'. On Tuesday the French Chamber of Peers adopted the Bill relating to the Extraordinary Credits of Algeria, and the Tours and Nantes Railroad Bill. In the Deputies, the Bill relative to Credits for Canals, Roads, &c., was adopted. On Monday evening the King and Queen received the Sardinian Ambassador, the Ministe,rs of Denmark, Wirtem berg, Mecklenburg-Schwerin., and the Hann Towns, the Mi nister of Marine, Generals Excanans and de Prevost, Coimts Mollien and &ranger, and the Baron de Barante. Marshal Soult left Paris on Tuesday for his estate at St. Amans, where he will remain some weeks for the benefit of his health. During his absence, the portfolio of the war de partment will not be held by any other person, and all im portant matters will be submitted, as last year, to his decision. The dispatches from Africa will reach him direct, and, says the Moniteur Parisien, all things have been so arranged that no inconvenience will arise from his temporary absence. The grand banquet given to the Minister of Commerce by the manufacturers and artisans who exhibited their produc tions at the Champs Elysees, was held on Tuesday, in the orangery of the Louvre. The tables were served with great luxury, under the management of six stewards chosen from the bOdy of exhibitors. The Dukes de Nemours, and Mont pensier, the Ministers of Commerce and the Interior, the Prefects of the Seine and Police, Duke Decazes, Count Montalivet, Baron Thenard, and other distinguished persons, honoured the meeting with their presence. The number as sembled was calculated at six hundred. The health of the King was drank with much enthusiasm. The Duke of Ne mours returned thanks. The.Patrie states, on the authority of letters from. Oran, that the place of rendezvous of the French sqnadron, under the command of the Prince de Joinville, is to be Algesiras, and not Gibraltar, as had been reported. M. Forbin-Janson, Bishop of Nancy, Who has long lived apart from his see, died a few days ago at Guilhermy, near Marseilles, aged 58. His fortune is estimated at 3,000,000 f. The works of the Rouen and Havre railroad are proceeding with great activity. M. Jones, one of the contractors, has commenced the great tunnel, which is more than 2,000 metres in length, and has already arched and bricked a considerable portion of it. An extraordinary quantity of rain has fallen in Paris within the last few days, and we regret to learn that very serious injury has been done to the crops in some of the pro vinces. Much of the corn has been laid almost beyond recovery. For the last two days the rain in Paris has been incessant.' It will be remembered that shortly after the murder of Mr. Ward, in the Rue de Londres, it was announced that several men, addicted to infamous practices, and with whom he was said to have had relations, were arrested. They were tried on Tuesday by the Tribunal of Correctional Police, upon charges of outrage upon public morals. Three were con demned to six months' imprisonment, one to eight months, and another to two years, and five years surveillance. MAW AND POLICE. - At Northampton, on Wednesday, William Gardner, aged 52, was capitally convicted of having, on the 18th of March, set fire, in the night, to the house of William HolHer, in the parish of Chacomb, there being no less than six persons therein asleep in their beds. Sentence of death was recorded. At Huntingdon, Samuel Baxter, a respectable little boy, aged 10 years, and not unlike the celebrated General Torn Thumb, having pleaded guilty to a charge of firing four straw stacks, the property of Robert Daintree, of Hemingford Ab bots, on the 11th May, was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. William Wilson, the driver of a Merton omnibus, was charged before Mr. Cottiugham, at Union-hall Police-court, with committing an assault of an aggravated nature on Miss Hannah Murrell, residing at No. 30, Mornington-crescent, Hampstead-road. The complainant entered the wrong ve hicle, and the defendant would not allow her to leave it with out payment. She attempted to leave, and the assault was then committed. Mr. Cottingham inflicted a fine on Wil son, the driver, of 31. and costs for the assau lt on Mi ss Mur rell, and adjudged Steel, the conductor, to enter into his re cognisance in 1001., and find two sureties of 504 each to ap pear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, in order to give the complainant an opportunity of indicting him for perjury in giving his evidence, a step which he strongly advised her to adopt. At the same Court, Henry Shepherd, the driver of a Car shalton omnibus, was charged with furiously driving and endangering the lives of the passengers. Mr. Cottingham, instead of inflicting a fine, whi c h wou ld b e easily paid, said he should commit the defendant for a month to hard labour. A person named Simon Simmons, who had been appre • hended at North Shields, was charged at Lambeth-street with uttering two forged acceptances, purporting to be those of Samuel Abraham, the one for 291. 10s., and the other for 45/., and also defrauding several tradesmen to a very consi derable amount. Several cases were gone into, and the pfi soner was remanded to a future day, when it is expected that several new charges will be brought against him, his trans actions being enormously extensive.
