vary little knowledge of the. interior of the country; and it was therefore impossible to say whether the growth of sugar in that country was produced by free labour or not ; but in Java, Manilla, and China they bad sugar the produce of free labour. The Noble Lord then adverted to topics that always raised a cheer in that House ; he said, why not send the sugar of Brazil to Russia, and bring in ex change fir it some of the produce of that country. A great deal had been said about cotton, tobacco, and coffee. Now, with respect to those articles, none of them Could be fairly said or considered to be the perpetuation of the slave trade. The cultivation of coffee could be carried on by free labour where sugar could not. If the motion of the Noble Lord was adopted, the result would be the extension of sugar cultivation, and also the ex tension of slavery. The effect of the present plan, be believed, would be principally visible in the sugar of Java and Manilla ; the plan would operate as a positive premium on the extension of the cultivation of free . sugar in those countries. An encouragement would be given to their sugar in the first place ; but, in the second place, it would tell with permanent effect on the rise in the value of free-labour sugar generally, on account of its increased admissibility. With respect to the ex tent to which it might stimulate the cultivation of sugar in the East Indies, he believed they knew too little of the resources of that country to form any esti mate upon the point ; its immense productive powers were as yet undeveloped. But, altogether, he did not anticipate that the increased quantity of sugar that would be brought into this country, in consequence of this alteration, would exceed 20,000 tons, and this quantity subtracted from the general markets of the world would not, he thought, much tend to raise the general price of the article. The Noble Lord had dwelt upon the probable fraudulent introduction of sugar from America ; but he thought there was not much danger of this being the case. The American grower was not subjected to any duty in his own country ; but, if he sent his sugar to this country, he had to pay his duty. Again, the price of sugar in New York had been for the last few years about thirty-five shillings, and in this country it had been less ; it would not, therefore, be the interest of the American to send his sugar from New Orleans to Liverpool, instead of from New Orleans to New York. Again, there was no class in America that did not clamour f ir protection. In this country some were indifferent to it, and some were opposed ; but in America all were anxious for it. And this was also a treat political question. The bond of the Ame rican Union wee not so close or so strong as not to be affected by the result of this question on the slave states. The great mass of the sugar consumed in Ame rica was grown in the state of Louisiana, and he thought that nothing wes so improbable as that America, while recognising the h'gli protective principle, would allow this single state to become the victim, for the sake of introducing the principl ! of free trade in the single ar ticle of sugar. The Noble Lord had said that the Go vernment should have given greaterencouragement to the introduction of free labour in the West Indies ; he did not understand that the Noble Lord had charged the Government with any neglect or want of vigilance els to the introduction of such labour. lie conceded that the West Indies were suffering under an accumulation of disadvantsges, and that, for the most part, the planters had been losers. He knew estates that, in the year 1840, when Englund-was paying what might be called famine prices fel. their sugar, left their owners minus to a con siderable emount. lie did not deny that the position of the West Indies was one of very great difficulty lie could only say that the question should be considered With a view to the interest of the West Indies on the one hand, and the circumstances of this country on the other. lie would say that it was not in the power of the Legislature of this cotintry to bring the cultivation of the colony into a sound state, even if the duty on sugar was maintained for twenty years.—(Cheers.) It must be brought about by the introduction of new labourers, an altered system of maintaining them, and the substi tution of respotisible resident proprietors or tenants for at sentee proprietors.—(Hear, hear.) That the West Itel'es had a crisis to pass through he hrd no doubt, and all they could expect from the British Legislature was to aid them as much as they could. That aid they now proposed to lend them. They proposed to lay a tax of 61. per cwt. on foreign free-grown sua ar, excluding sugar from slave countries. That was a d uty of 50 per cent. on the value of the commodity. But if they had 'to deal with the West ledies alone, he would not be a 'poesy to the proposal of his Right Hon. Friend. After the changes 'which took place in other countries—after the tariff of 1842, and the other changes which have taken place in the present year, he thought Government would be open to the imputation or showing undue favour to a particular class were they to put a duty of 10 per cent. on foreign sugar, the growth of free labour, as a protection to sugar grown in the West Indies.—(Hear, hear.) The West Indies had suffered most severely by the Act of Emanci pation, but that interest was treated with some conside ' ration when it got a protectien a quul to 50 per cent. The Noble Lord said that they did not establish perfect con sistency in their legislation on this matter. His answer was that it was better to apply a good principle when it was practicable, and also that the proposition of the Go vernment would stand in a favourable light as contrasted with the proposition of the Noble Lord. It was not only inconsistent in an extreme degree, but in a manner incapable of tolerable explanation, that they should go to considerable expense in employing a naval force on the coast of Africa, but even shed blood for the purpose oacapturing slave vessels going to the Brazils, and at the same time give a voluntary stimulous to the slave • trade by encouraging the growth of slave-grown sugar. There was, therea,re, a great practical difference be • tween the treasure of the Government and the proposi tion of the Noble Lord, as would be tested to-morrow by the price or lit azilian or Cuba sugar, if that proposis • tam were ceirli d. The Noble Lord had charged them with hypocrisy. That was one of the worst charges that could be made against any men, because it was one of the worst vices. —(Hear, hear.) He would not deny it, because if true it would not be the ' less if he denied it, and if it were not- he was sure the country and posterity would do them justice. They could have no personal motives in this matter, and their views were in accordance with those of Dr. Lushington, Sir F. Buxton, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Sturges whose opinions were entitled to so much con sideration on the subject It was true they would ex ' elude the produce of slave labour of every description; but, because they admitted other articles, the produce of slave' labour, it was practically no reason why they should admit slave-grown sugar. Looking to the in terest of the West India colonies, the necessities of the country, and the discouragement of the slave trade, he thought the measure of the Government the hest that could be devised, and he left it with confidence to the Judgment of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) Mr. L A BOITCHE RE commenced by defending himself and the late Government from the charge of inconsistency which was brought against them, for which he need only refer to the emphatic declaration , of the late • Lord Sydenham, who, when Fri sident of the Board of Trade, declared that either at or before the termination of the treaty with the Brazils, it would be the duty of the House to consider the question of the sugar duties, foreign and donaestic. He (Mr. Labouchere) adhered to that declaration, when he was waited on in Liver pool by persons connected with the West Indies. And midi regard , to the consistency of the present Govern , meet, he muse say, • if he felt any resentment towards them for the handle they made of the West India interest to turn out the late Administration, he was amply re venged by seeing the Ministers of this great commercial country in the face of that country and the whole world compelled to make such a proposition to the House as ' they now Made, and to defend it by such' argu ments as lie had heard.—(Hear, hear.) That it was a novel and unprecedented proposition no person could deny. and the arguments used in support of the measure were in perfect harmony with it, for they were totally novel and unprecedented likewise. The queStion was tine of such vast importance in every respect that a settlement of it was of first-rate consequence. And it was because this measure was fraught with uncertainty and was rotten in principle, because it was not a final settlement of the question, that he objected to it. Ife would suppose, for the sake of argument, that no doer would be opened to fraud by the measure ; but admitting that, he was prepared to maintain that they incurred - a positive and a certain evil for the sake of a benefit of a very substantial nature. To begin with the evils 'would be inflicted by this measure, the Go vernment might say that they were right in doing those things for a moral object ; but no man would contend that it was right to denounce, by their commercial policy, such great countries as the Brazils—the West India Islands, which were some of their most valuable customers.—(Hear, hear.) No person would say that they ought to hazard such evils except on the most sub stantial and positive grounds.—(Hear, hear.) In the first place it was impossible to deny what the evil com plained of by their merchants who traded with the Brazils was. It was this; that they could not procure direct returns for the goods which they exported to Brazils.—(Hear, hear.) To continue such a state of things was a great evil ; but it was more—they raised Up hostile feelings in those countries against them, which mast tie fraught with fatal consequences. It would lead to hostile commercialdegislation against thim. True, if these countries consulted reason Only they would not legislate on such absurd grounds ; but men were actuated by resentment as much as by reason, and they would feel that an affront was put upon them by this coTary,. and their legislation would be directed accordingly. m i y more, he really believed that this principle of non interrerence with these countries would arm the feelines of those countries aagainstaithem every' day more and more, to prevent the effects of that influence which he hoped this country would exercise everywhere in behalf of the negroes, which would be a source of' greater calamity to them than this paltry measure of excluding slavegrown sugar would du them any good. He agreed with the Right lion. Gentleman who had just sat down, that, they must guard themselves against overrating the value a the change of duty, for that no great influx , of foreign sugar could be expected. His statement was as low as 20,000 tons, Everything of this sort was no doubt vague ; and he (Mr. Labouchere) would be inclined to, put it higher. But it was important when they came to consider this question, to find how far the measure of the Governruentavould tend to discourage sugar the produce of slave labour. In his opinion that discouragement would amount to a shade, or rather the shadow of a shade. The Right Hon. Gentleman admitted that the free - labour sugar prOduced in the East was less than 20,000 tons. If that cantle to England, the surplus would be exported to Germany and other countries, and the price of free-labour sugar in London and Liverpool would be governed by its price in those countries. The Right lion, Gentleman admitted that this was true in the main ;. but then he said there would still be a shade of , advantage in favour of free-labour sugar. Was it, really starcialtnoyfeievtillysap e incur na that they were prepared to hear.) He thought even a at; ade was t ee strong expr ession . I He believed that a tot., of Manilla's u g ar and tonaf Cuba sugar would, ' r Bill bad' pa sse d ~b be found very nearly of the aerie value. ,The consequence would be, that the moment this sugar was withdrawn from the general markets of I, the world, the vacuum would be filled up by sugar from ' Cuba and Brazil. Taking the whole, or very nearly the whole, of the sugar produced by free labour throughout the world, he admitted that there might be some W.? ght in the argument ; but, inasmuch as they could only take a part of it, and the rest must be exported abroad, it was idle to deny that by their mea sure the Government were encouraging the cultivation of sugar in Cuba and Brazil as completely as they would do by admitting sugar from those countries. The Right Hon. Gentleman went on to use a very singular argu ment when lin said that, at all events, their consciences would be clear.—(Hear, hear.) If they went into a grocer's shop and inquired the price of sugar grown in Cuba and sugar grown in Manilla, that might be a very good consideration ; but before they asked the people of this country to subject themselves to the evils of non-intercourse, they were bound to show them that some practical discouragement would thereby be given to the slave trade.—(Hear, hear.) He had hitherto dis cussed this question as if it would not open a door to fraud. The Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had disposed of that question in a very summary way. He was surprised that any one could express a doubt that fraud would not take place. Now he (Mr. Labouchere) did not share in that persua sion, and he believed it was not shared by the mercantile community of this country.—(Hear, hear, from the Hon. Member for Dover.) His Hon. Friend the Member for Dover, who was connected with the West Indies, cheered that observation. He was glad to find hie opinion confirmed by so high an authority. Even the certificates of our own Custom-house officers were not to be depended on with entire confidence ; bat to talk of certificates of sugar coming from New Orleans, signed by the grower, the shipper, and the American authorities, as properly cer tified, was to him utterly incomprehensible. He be lieved that the value of a Mississippi certificate would be very much the same as the value of a Mississippi bond.— ( Laughter.) He was inclined to think that the air would be found equally prejudicial to the honesty of both those documents.—(Laughter.) He defied the shrewdest mer chant to tell what would be the precise effect of this measure. He felt convinced at least of this, that, founded as it was upon false and untenable principles, it would produce nothing but mischief to our commercial interests.—(Hear,) He agreed with the Right Hon. Gen tleman that the character of this country should stand clear upon this subject of the slave trade, He had never been disposed to sneer at, or to treat with disre spect, the solemn and sacred feelings which pervaded this country on the subject of the long injuries of the negro race.—(Hear, hear.) He was satisfied that the conduct of this country in that respect was one of the brightest pages in her history. She might have made mistakes; she might have suffered disappointments; but, nevertheless, her conduct had been actuated by that which lay at the root of England's greatness—her moral and religious feelings.—(Cheers.) But the more he re flected on that subject, the more he felt the importance of exhibiting this country to the world, not enly unconnected with hypocrisy, but with folly; and he very much feared that foreigners would form the same opinion of us which our own merchants did in reference to this question.— (Hear, hear.) He believed they would not stand any higher in the eyes of the world, for having embarked in a course which every man, woman, and child, who considered the subject would be able at once to see did not accomplish its own objects.—(Hear, hear.) He I would not go at any length into the question, what might be expected from the United States ; but he agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman, in doubting whether the inducement to supply the English market with sugar under the scale of duties proposed by the Government would greatly affect or modify their policy. —The Right Hon. Gentleman then read an extract from letter addressed by Mr. Innes to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in support of this view.—The Right Hon. Gentleman had adverted to the effect of this measure upon the West Indies. He (Mr. Labouchere) had never thought that they were absolved from their duty to the %Vest Indies by the payment of twenty millions for the emancipation of the slaves. He could not vote for the amendment of the Hon. Member for Bristol, because he believed it would have the effect of imposing a larger differential duty on the people of this country ; but, if the Government had proposed to reduce the duty on foreign sugar to thirty shillings, and that on colonial sugar to 225., he, for one, should have rejoiced at such a proposal, and he believed the Noble Lord the Member for the City of London would have given it his support. He really thought that in the present position of the revenue the Government might safely have made such a proposal. He must say, in conclusion, that not withstanding the opposition made to the proposals of the late Government, he did hope that when the Right Hon. Gentleman had, as a Minister of the Crown, to consider this question in all its details, he would not have pur sued a course, the benefits of which were, according to his own showing, of a doubtful and visionary cha racter. He had hoped that he would have cast po litical consistency to the winds, and that he (Mr. Labouchere) would have had the pleasure of supporting him in those great commercial reforms which were needed by the country. Mr. P. M. STEWART said he had hoped that when the question of emancipation had been settled they would have been fairly dealt with. There seemed to be much uncertainty and ignorance on the part of the Go vernment with respect to this measure. The Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of the Board of Trade, had Nt a question to him (Mr. Stewart), whether if the est Indies were to be supplied fully with free labourers, he would propose that the Government should maintain a differential duty of even 10s. per cwt. His answer to this was, that they had been kept out of a supply of free labour for ten years, and now, at the eleventh hour, a measure like this was proposed. Was this fair treat ment ? They crippled a man, and reduced him to a state of starvation, and then threw him into an arena of competition. He said that if they had prepared the West Indies five years ago fur this change, and if they had then given them the supply of labour which was now contemplated, that would have of itself settled the ques tion of differential duties. The Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of the Board of Trade,'was mistaken in his estimates of the produce of sugar under free labour and slave labour in the West Indies. The average of the five years preceding 1883 was 201,777 tons, and the average of the three years after free labour was entirely established was only 107,000 tons. To show the depre ciation in the value of West India property he had pro vided himself with a comparative statement of the cost and produce of an estate ten years ago, and at the pre sent time. Ten years ago the average cost of the pre. dime on the estate was 5,4051., the crops were 367 tons, the cost of production being fourteen guineas per ton. This year the average expenditure was 6,5001., the cropS 264 tons, the cost of production being 24/. 12s. per ton. This difference had arisen from the payment of high wages, and from a reduced and inadequate supply of labour.—(Hear, hear.) These were the grounds upon which the West Indian colonists rested their opposition to this measure. When slavery was abolished, this country promised the colonists of the West Indies a supply of labour, but that supply never came. Now, however, when the Government disco vered their error, simultaneously with the supply of labour, did they throw open the West Indies to com petition with the rest of the world ? It was unfair—un- English—to treat them in this manner. Had there been an interval of two or three years afforded, and during that time a supply of free labour provided, the present measure would, have been received very differently by the West India proprietors. Under existing circum stances, he contended that a great hardship had been thrown upon the colonists. It was said that the West Indies were an integral part of Britain; why, then, were the colonists not treated as British subjects ? The West Indian planter was, to all intents and purposes, a landed proprietor, and why should he not be treated as one ? His produce, however, was debarred from com ing into this country. They were well aware that rum was almost excluded from Scotland, and Ireland. The duty on native spirits was 2s. Bd. per gallon in Ireland, and in Scotland it was 3s. Bd., while the duty on rum was 95. 4d. In England the duty on the native spirit was 7s. 10d. per gallun, and ruin was 9s. 4d., and the consequence was, that the consumption of rum in England was one-third of the whole consump tion of spirits, one hundred-and-twelfth of the whole consumption in Scotland, and in Ireland it was only a six-hundreth part of the whole consumption of spirits in the country, so that, in fact, rum was excluded. He thought the proposition of the Noble Lord on the whole a salutary one, and was of opinion that it was preferable to admit sugar directly from foreign countries than in the roundabout way in which its growth was at present encouraged.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME agreed with the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down that the best interests of the colonies had been sacrificed by the policy of the Govern ment. This Government, as well as the former one, was much to blame for not providing a proper supply of labour. The question had been laid before Lord Glenelg, but he had taken no effective step. The Right Hon. Baronet had taken up the question, but in a manner unstatesmanlike and impolitic. He felt certain that the Government measure would not give satisfaction ; there was no security in it, and this meddling sort of policy, which proposed a great deal and did nothing, would take away confidence and prevent the investment of capital in the West Indies.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") The consumption of tea and coffee hadgreatly increased since the commencement of the present century, but sugar had not at all increased in proportion. Those specious arguments in favour of the abolition of slavery were now seen through by the country, and there was a general and a just feeling abroad that we had no right to dragoon other countries into our mode of action. They should be left to think and act for themselves on the question of slavery, as well as on every other question. What would we have said twenty-five years ago, if any other country attempted to force upon us anti-slavery doctrines? Why, we should have indignantly rejected them. And as for the idea of excluding slave grown sugar by certificates of was —(Hear, gaarhT;nithing more or less than a perfect farce. partsT wa n h o e to f fact c s towue well trade eo rwttoeoruet our sugar sacrificing issu gana rti.s directlylavethr ye from Cuba and Brazil, as trade with those countries which directly encouraged its growth?—(Hear. ) opposite. Mr. T. BARING did not qu i te agree in the bp,peit justice n s an ticipated o f the arguments advanced by Hon. Gentlemen He thought it would not be so difficult as land ticipated to prevent the importation of slave-grown sugar into this country by the certificates of origin; nor did he think that there need be any apprehension of our importing slave-grown sugar from Java or Manilla, be. cause the distance between these countries and Cuba and Brazil was too great to admit of their importing sugar from them with the prospect of exporting it into this conntry afterwards. China was not, as had been stated, an exporter of sugar. He believed it was at present an importer.—(Hear, hear.) Ire had never heard that there was any arrangement by which such an evasion of the American Customs' regu -1 ration's could be effected as the Noble lord, the Member * for London, supposed. He did net think that if Ha vannah sugar were imported into Louisiana, and had paid a duty of 125., that amount would be returned, and the sugar be allowed to be exported. The countries VS Ilia produced sugar by free labour would have the great stimulus to production which was-well known to be given by open markets, whereas the slave countries would be confined to the markets to which they now had access. In Brazil one-half, or two-thirds of the population were slaves, who were paid no wages, and had few wants above the demand for the merest neces saries of life. If the trade of this country with Brazil should be increased, the goods which the Brazilians would receive in return for their produce would consist chiefly of such articles as could be used in the purehase of more slaves for the extended cultivation of the land ; whereas the goods received from us in exchange for the produce of free labour, would be purchased by the labourers out of their wages, and for the increase of their own comforts. He should, however, have thought it more advisable if this proposition of the Government had been deferred until the whole subject of the sugar duties had been reviewed, and the question bad been decided whether our system of direct taxation should be continued and extended. The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by stating that he never gave a more conscien tious vote than that which he was now about to give against the proposal of the Noble Lord, the Member for the city of London. After some observations from Dr. Bowring, Sir John Harmer, and Mr. Gladstone, Mr. EWART rose amid loud cries of " Withdraw," and " Divide."—Seeing the feeling of the House he would postpone the motion of which he had given notice till the bringing up of the report. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw ; the House divided, and the numbers were— For the resolutions Fur the amendment Majority for the resolutions The resolutions were then put and agreed to, and the house having resumed, the report was ordered to be brought up on Wednesday.

She will previously proceed to Plymouth and equip for fortign service; it is be lieved her destination is China. The Cornwall, 50, troop-ship, Lieutenant Howe, is daily expected with naval and military invalids from China. The Vernon, 50, just paid off at Sheerness, is to be docked and surveyed for re-commission forthwith. The Prometheus steam-vessel, Commander J. Hay, is ra pi(lly entering her hands acid equipping in harbour here. Her destination when ready will be the coast of Africa. She will take dispatches and supernumeraries for the Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Captain W. Jones, and other vessels on the African station. The Malabar, 72, Captain Sir G. R. Sartorius, is being dis mantled in the harbour prior to being paid off. Should her timbers be found on overhauling sound and firm, she will be re-commissioned to form one of the squadron of exercise. She has been upwards of 50 years in the service. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander 11. B. Young, was at Ascension on the 25th of March. She landed commissariat silver at the Gambia, and touched at Sierra Leone. No case offerer of any amount has occurred on board her. _ _ The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, sailed on Friday to relieve the wind -bound vessels in the Channel, and with orders, should she see the Indus, 80, Captain Sir James Stir ling, Knight, to send her into Plymouth, to be paid off, in stead of making this port, so that the proverb, " It's an ill wind that blows nobody good," will suit the good people of Plymouth exactly. The Vindictive, 50, Captain J. Toup Nicolas, C. 8., was at Callao on the 28th January, moored within 50 fathoms of the Mole, to afford protection to the British Minister and resi dents, if required, another revolution in Peru being ex pected every hour. The Vindictive had a sailing match with the American frigates United States and Constellation, 46, Commander Kearney, which sailed from Callao on the 20th of January, in a rim of about sixty-five miles in eight hour?, by the wind, with royals set; the Constellation was decidedly eclipsed, being left, half topsails down, astern, and the United States was left about eight miles astern. When the breeze freshened the Vindictive gained more, and had it blown strong her advantage would have been infinitely greater. The Eurydice, 26, Captain G. Elliott, and Fair Rosamond, 2, schooner, Lieut.-Commander A. G. Bultnan, were at Halifax on the 13th ult.; the Illustrious, 72, Captain J. E. Erskine, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief on the West India and North American station, arrived at Halifax on the 18th of May ; and the Hermes, steam-sloop, Lieut.-Commander Washington Carr, the 10th, from Kingston, Jamaica, where fever had been awfully severe, and had proved fatal to many on board.

Tringham, sailed on Friday, with water and provisions for the wind-bound vessels in the Channel. The Prince Frederick (Dutch transport) arrived from Su rinam, on Tuesday, for a supply of provisions, being unable to proceed up the Channel by the prevalence of the strong gales from the east._ The America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, was towed from the harbour into the Sound by the Confiance steam-vessel on Monday. The America is a crack ship, in splendid order ; she is of a similar class to the Vindictive and Warspite. This is the first time she has been commissioned since her conversion from a line-of-battle ship to a frigate. She will be paid advance in a day or two, and proceed to the Pacific.

Newman, assistant-surgeon of her Majesty's steam-vessel Lucifer, Commander G. A. Frazer, on a charge of having drawn a bill, upon Government without the necessary authority, he being under stoppages at the time. In support of the charge, Mr. Eastlake, Queen's Soli citor, read several letters, one from the Accountant-General, Mr. Briggs, to Commander Frazer, stating the impropriety of the conduct pursued by Mr. Newman, is obtaining the sum of 461. 15s. 6d. in advance, without the signature of his commander, aware at the same time that he stood indebted to the Crown in the sum of 38/. 3s. Bd., and that a mark had been made against his name, as usual when parties were under stoppages. Letters of a similar nature were also writ ten to the correspondent of the Accountant-General, Mr. Robertson, and the Clerk of the Admiralty, Mr. Strutt, cautioning them not to accept the bill, in accordance with article 2 in the printed sheet of instructions, but that a debt was due to the Crown from the said Mr. Newman, which was to be received by them in instalments of 5/. per quarter, to he deducted from his pay. After a very long examination of the facts, the Court decided that the charges had been fully established ; and the sentence, of the Court was, that the said Charles D. A. Newman be forthwith dismissed from her Ma jesty's steam-vessel Lucifer, and he was dismissed accordingly. In Harbour—San Josef, Confiance, and Lucifer. In Dock (repairing)—Kent, Actaeon, and Grecian. In the Sound—Caledonia, America, and Prince Frederick (Dutch transport). Sticsisisss, MAY 31.—The Camperdown, 104, Captain W. F.

On Saturday the annual meeting of the Percy So ciety was held at the society's rooms, 4, St. Martin's-lane, Lord Braybroke in the chair. During the year the society, which is established for the publication of ancient ballads, poetry, and other rare literary works, had published twelve productions. Mr. Crofton Croker's volume, containing speci mens of the keen of the south of Ireland, would, the report stated, be published early this month. The receipts amounted to 4161. 15a., and the expenditure left a balance of 28/. 12s. THE WEATHER AND Coors.—Hope - deferred is making the farmer's heart sick •, for a month's unbroken sunshine with occasional sharp frost in the morning and evening, has blighted his fairest prospects. There is only one advantage in the continued drought, and it is comparatively a very trifling one—that late potato and turnip ground, recently worked, is pulverised as fine as powder : but our accounts from every district in Ayr shire represent that all else is out of joint—for even on the latest moss and clay soils that grain brairds are languishing, while on thin sandy lands they are quite yellow, and, we fear, under no alteration of temperature will recover their vigour. Ryegrass is even worse : on the most moist land it has set prematurely, and where being cut in the neighbourhood for sale, or soiling, falls very light to the scythe—while along the coast lands crops of rye-grass and clover, that with variable weather would have produced from 120 to 160 stones per acre, do not carry at present more than from 30 to 40 stones. Pastures that seldom failed since 1826 to afford a full bite, are dry to the roots of the plants, while near the shore the shade of the grass-lands cannot be distinguished from the sand. Add to this list of the distresses of man and beast, the scarcity of water—that requires in some cases to be carted miles—and some idea may be formed of the doubts and difficulties with which the watchful husbandman has in this singular season to contend. Under these circumstances the prospects of The coming harvest are far from encouraging. We are not fond of indulging in gloomy forebodings ; but although copious rain vouchsafed early might yet banish the yellow tint from the wheat blade and from the oat plant, which is more of an aquatic, an average yield is scarcely to be ex pected ; and barley, beans, and peas have suffered still eraN l e 'ri b dr more from the want of an adequate supply of rain, that indeed has not fallen in sufficient quantity for nourish ment since the seed was committed to the ground.—Ayr Advertiser. b ri dSguel"e d s i c e u d e d o n from satur a_ the unfortunate woman who flung herself from Waterloo -017 AT WATERLOO BRlDGE.—CarOlille Swaite, th e e xe rtions morning , b o u f t watery Satur day morning in King's College Hospital, front the effects of the injuries she sustained on her descent from the battle ments of the .bridge.

Gentleman had been to officiate at Keaton church, and was returning home about ten o'clock in his chaise, when, after be ha d g one a sho rt distance, the horse 'from some cause or other became unmanageable, and started off at full speed, going down the steep descent called Mason's -hill at a furious pace. He proceeded in his career to the Bromley turnpike, the gate of which was shut and fastened, and before any alarm could be given, or the turnpike-keeper had an opportunity to open it, the animal dashed against the bar and shivered it asunder, dragging the chaise through after him. The Rev. Gentleman kept his seat, and the horse continued at the same speed to Bromley, where he was stopped. It was found upon examination that nei ther the horse, chaise, nor harness had received the slightest in t try, And the only mischief done was the damage to e toll-bar LAW INTELLIGENCE.

The further arguments in this part-heard effuse petition occupied his Lordship the whole morning. BAIL COURT, June 3. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) IN THE MATTER OF THE QUEEN V. ARTHUR SAMUEL CAULES. Mr. HORNE, in this case, moved for a rule to show cause why the attorney for the prosecution, Mr. Heywood, should not pay the defendant 86/. 9s. 6d. The indictment was pre fi against the defendant for erecting a stall in the High street of Dartmouth, but on the Learned Judge saying he would tell the jury that the question they had to try was whether the stall was erected with bona fides, the attorney for the prosecution offered to withdraw the indictment, and pay the costs of the day, which was assented to. Several notices were served on Mr. Heywood that they were about to tax the costs, but he never appeared. The costs were ulti mately taxed to the amount of 86/. 9s. 6d.—Rule granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. < (YE STE RDAY.) CLERKEIVIVELL. Elias Bucey, a carver and gilder, residing at 15, Suffolk -street, Camden-town, and Mary Crawley, of 31, Easton-street, Wilmington-square, were charged with having been drunk and fighting on the previous night, at 20, Lloyd-square, the residence of Mr. Tindal, late churchwarden of Clerkenwell parish. The male prisoner's face was covered with blood and bruised, the hair of the female was dishevelled, and both presented abundant evidence of having been engaged in recent conflict. Mr. Tindal and his family having gone to the country, the servant, Mary Bucey, who was left in care of the place, invited the prisoner and several of her male and female acquaintances to spend the previous (Sunday) evening with her. The party arrived, the bottle circu lated freely, and the fun grew fast and furious—in fact, nothing could exceed the hilarity which prevailed, when, in an unpropitious moment, the subject of the Irish State trials and the sentence upon Mr. O'Connell was men tinned. Great difference of opinion prevailed. The male prisoner, backed by a very strong party, contended that the trials were all right, and that the sentence was just; but Mrs. Crawley, a daughter of " the Green Isle," thought otherwise, and enforced her opinion in so earnest and vehement a manner, that crowds of people were attracted to witness the dispute. The parties at length adjourned to the street, where Mrs. Crawley finding her logical weapons insufficient, rushed to give striking proofs of her sincerity, " And prove her doctrine orthodox By divers bruises, blows, and knocks." In fact she belaboured poor Bucey so wofully that were it not for the timely arrival of the police he would have speedily found himself in a far worse condition than the State prisoners.—The police took both parties into custody. 111 r. BINGHAM—WeII, prisoners, what have you to say? Bucey—Well, I said O'Connell was the dupe of the Irish people, arter she said he was the Liberator. I did'nt think he was the "cheese." Mrs. Crawley—Yes, I said ho was the Liberathur—it was a cowardly thing to throw wathur on a dhrowning rat. I said he had'nt a fair thrial. Both parties having finally expressed their regret at their misconduct, they were d'scharged. John Harper was charged with having fraudulently represented himself as an inspector of police, and with having assaulted police-constables 216 G, and 75 G. The prisoner, a wellAressed, middle aged person, de scribed himself as a warehousman in Cheapside. Police-constable 75 G, having been on duty in St. John-street, between eleven and twelve o'clock on the previous night, was rudely accosted by the prisoner, who seemed to be perfectly sober. The witness did not recollect the first expression he used, but he seized the constable by the collar and insisted on taking down his number. He was quietly permitted to do so. He then ran down Wilderness-row, but soon returned, and with out having received the least provocation, struck 75 G on the mouth, and when 216 G attempted to stop him, he struck that officer a violent blow on the head ; said he was an inspector of police, and defied any constable to interfere with him.—lle was taken to the police sation. The prisoner expressed regret for his conduct, but gave no explanation of it. Mr. BINGHAM cautioned him against the repetition of it, and told him that for falsely personating an inspector of police he subjected himself to a fine of 101, or a long term of imprisonment. In default of the payment of fine he was committed to prison for five days. Isabella Bowyer was charged with robbing Mr. George Taylor of a purse containing 8/. On Saturday night Mr. Taylor, who lives in 28, Iron monger-street, St. Luke's, was returning home between eleven and twelve o'clock. The prisoner came up to him in Holborn, and jocosely asked him if he were good na tured ; he took no notice of her, but she walked almost by his side, followed by another female up Liquorpond street, and into Charles-street, Hatton-garden; when he came opposite to a dark gateway there, she, with sudden violence, pushed him into it, and, thrusting her hand into his pocket, abstracted the purse and immediately ran away with it, She ran to the other female, who at tempted to hold the prosecutor, but he burst away from her and finally arrested the prisoner, who had only the empty purse on her person.—Committed for trial, . Bartholomew Downey, of No. 2, Brook-court, Holborn, was charged with having been drunk and riotous, and creating a crowd in Holborn Unian Workhouse, and also with having deserted his wife and family, whereby they had become chargeable to the Holborn union. Mr. Wilkes, the overseer, deposed that on the 17th of January the prisoner's wife applied to him for relief, stating that her husband having deserted her, she, with her children, were utterly destitute. He administered out-door relief to them from that time to the present. On the previous evening the prisoner came to the work house drunk. He assaulted Barlow the porter, and by the violence of his conduct attracted a great crowd round the workhouse. Upon further inquiry, and from the prisoner's own admission, it was ascertained that he had never left his family at all, but consumed in idleness the relief meant -tbr his wife and children. Whenever the overseer visited the house he secreted himself. Mr. BINGHAM regretted to observe that this was becoming a very commonl3ractice. A case came before him a short time ago in Worship-street Police-court, in which the wife who applied for relief to the parochial authorities stated, that her husband had deserted her, and was in Birmingham. She even deposed to the truth of this statement before the magistrate, but it was sub sequently ascertained that the husband was at home all the time, and when the overseer came concealed himself in a cupboard, where he was ultimately arrested. In this case the parish authorities would do well to prose cute the prisoner at the sessions. Mr. 11 , ilkes promised to do so, and the prisoner was fined 101., or five days' imprisonment for the assault on the porter. John Griffiths - was fully committed for trial for steal ing a sovereign, the property of Sarah Bridges, a servant, at the house of Mr. Richardson, a gentleman, residing in Belgrave-terrace, Holioway, in which he was tempo rarily employed as a painter. George Piper, a bricklayer, was charged with assaulting Mr. Burman, the proprietor of the Bagnigge-wella Tavern, Bagnigge-wells-road, and also with assaulting Wm. Pride, a labourer. It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the prisoner, being under the influence of liquor, went into the Bagnigge-wells Tavern, and, without having received any provocation whatever, struck Pride, who was standing quietly )y, several severe blows on the face. Mr. Burman interfered, upon which the prisoner struck him with violence on the breast.. The prisoner in defence urged that he had been informed that Pride had calumniated him, and in the excitement of the moment struck him. Mr. BINGHAM said, even supposing what the prisoner said was true, he had acted most improperly in assuming at the same moment the offices of judge, jury, and executioner. The landlord had acted very properly in preventing a riot in his house, and deserved credit for the part he had taken. He would fine the prisoner 10s., and bind him over to keep the peace for three months. BOW-STREET. A young boy - was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with annoying his master, a tailor, in the Strand. After the case had been gone into, the boy called his fa. ther as a witness in his favour, and the usher was about to administer the usual oath, When the following somewhat novel scene took place : Chief Usher—Take the book, Sir. Witness—Yes, with my hat on. Usher—What do you mean? Witness—l am a Quaker bred.—(The witness was not attired in the habit of a Quaker_.) Mr. HALL----Do you wish to be sworn or to make an affir mation ? Witness—'Tis quite immaterial. Mr. Hann—What! Do you say it is quite immaterial whether you are sworn or not? Witness—l am a Quaker bred and born. Mr. Hann—Do you mean to tell me that it is a matter of little consequence whether you are sworn or not? Witness —lt does not much matter. Mr. HALL—Then you are quite quite indifferent as to whe ther you swear or affirm? itness—Either one or the other. Mr. HALL—WeII, that is a most extraordinary declara tion, and one that is not very creditable to you. Witness—l have no objection to do anything in the regular way ; I will do anything you say is regular. Mr. HALL—I have no power over a man's conscience ; you must choose for yourself. Witness—l am not in the habit of coming before gentle men like you, Sir. Mr. HALL—I never heard a Quaker before- who told me that it was a matter of perfect indifference to him whether he was sworn or whether he made an affirmation. Witness—Well, I will be sworn with my hat on. Mr. HALL.—A Quaker is not sworn at all, nor does he make an affirmation with his hat on: Witness—Well, anything that is regular. Mr. HALL—Do you know anything about the matter that is before the Court ? Witness-1 es. a t nt e previous was placed Railway. at 1n the Mr. HALL—Were you present when the annoyance t oo k place ? Witness—No, I was not. Mr. HALL—Oh, then, we can do without your evid ence . tao irl wi a. , thestone,td t h which e iu t h f t The prisoner was then discharged with a caution.m F MARYLEBON. A young lrd ys,n of the Loudon he e 2e or mssat S,o o'clock,o n p daeedmpoea deposed and3p/st picked thatci l o w k ped Stride on up Birmingham prisonerha large ai bar before Mr. Rawlinson upon the f o ll ow i ng c h arge:— H T about eleveni o his companions standing near the brid ge at the Camden town astation he deliberately threw over the wall on to the line, and witness soon afterwards found it lying within four inches of the rail. He went after the prisoner, and took him into custody, when he denb:l having stone, and said he had merely ben playing with a ball. Witness produced the stone, which weighed nearly 2lbs. Mr. RAIPLINSON (to the prisoner)—Thin is a very serious offence, and one which might have caused the death of parties travelling. What do you mean by such conduct? Prisoner—l didn't throw any stone, Sir ;it was a ball that I had been playing ‘vith. The constable said there was no ball on the line near the spot, and he was quite certain that the stone which he had broltAt forward for the inspection of the Magis trate was thrown on the line by the prisoner. Mr. RAAVLINSON convicted the prisoner in the miti gated penalty of 10s. ; in default of payment, one month's imprisonment. Timothy Steel, an Irish labourer, was charged by John Edgar, of 12, Queen-street, Edgeware-road. It appeared that on Saturday night last, as complain ant was walking quietly towards home, the prisoner, without saying a word, struck him a violent blow on the head ; he (the prisoner) also attempted to hit him with a hod which he had in his left hand. A policeman then. arrived, and after much difficulty the prisoner, who was very drunk, was conveyed to the station-house. In reply to the charge, prisoner said, " Faith, yer Honour, I know nothing about it at all, at all ; and its thrue that I didn't know I was locked up till I woke in the cell yesterday morning."—He was fined 20s. Robert Donaldson, a well-dressed young gentleman, who described himself as a clerk in a counting-house, but who was stated by the officers of the Court to be a son of Mr. Donaldson, of the firm of Courage and Donaldson, the emi nent brewers, was charged with assaulting the police. Police-constable 212 D said, that about two o'clock that morning, he was passing through Oxford-terrace, when he thought he heard a faint call of police, and he went in the direction of the sound, but without seeing any one. He, however, heard a faint groan, and looking more narrowly about, observed the prisoner lying on the flags, with his gold watch lying on the pavement beside him. Witness asked hint where he lived, and he used a most abominable expression, and said, "Take that, you —," at the same time striking witness a blow under the chin, and knocking him back with great violence. He took him (the prisoner) then into custody, and told him he must go to the station-house. He did go about twelve yards, and then he kicked witness's feet from him, but a brother constable coming up, he was eventually lodged in the station-house. Mr. ItAwuNsoN—Well, Sir, you look a gentleman. what can you say to this? Prisoner—Well, I must have been in a dreadful state of intoxication, that's certain. I've been punished though (and the prisoner passed his hand across a scar in his cheek, the mark of his too close contact with " the stones") ; but I.really have no recollection of anything that occurred. Mr. RAwLINSON—I must endeavour to improve your me mory for the time to come. You are fined 405., Sir ; and let me say, Sir, that I think your conduct most disgraceful, and you deserve to be made an example of. The prisoner had left the Court before the wotthy Magis trate's admonition was ended. QUEEN-SQUARE. An old woman, without a gown, named Tyrrell, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bond, on suspicion of having stolen a pint-pot, two cups and a saucer, and a small coloured decanter. From the statement of 208 B, it appeared that he found the defendant in Elizabeth-street, Belgrave-square, on Sunday morning between five and six o'clock. She was picking boughs from a tree. As she had something wrapped in a handkerchief, he questioned her respecting its contents, sus pecting that it contained stolen property ; upon untying it the pint-pot, which is the property of Air. Gibbons, a publi can, at Chelsea, dropped on the ground. He asked how she came to have it in her possession, when she replied that she was taking it to Tooley-street, where she lived, and that she would return it to the owner to• day. Witness said he had been given to understand that the woman bears a bad cha racter in the neighbourhood in which she resides, and had pawned nearly all her husband's clothes as well as her own. The defendant, who, during the evidence of the policeman, behaved in the most eccentric manner, here said—" I am sell ing all my old things to get new; I think it is time, for I've had them 20 years." The policeman, in answer to a question from the Magistrate said he thought the defendant's mind was affected. Defendant, with vehemence—That's a lie. • The policeman further said that when the cell in which. the defendant was confined was opened, she was found almost in a state of nudity, having torn her gown to fragments and otherwise injured her under-clothing. Mr. BOND said he thought the woman was insane. She was remanded until Wednesday, until inquiries are made respecting her. Her htisband - afterwards stepped forward and informed the Magistrate that his wife was insane—that she was frequently guilty of most extraordinary conduct. He had endeavoured to get her into some lunatic asylum, but without success. He was desired to attend en Wednesday, when Mr. BOND said he would see what could be done for the poor creature. Thomas Grace, a little boy, was charged with stealing 21 cheroots from the shop of Mr. Sherrer, a cigar-dealer. The boy, who is an itinerant ven d or o f c h eap bl ac ki ng, went into Mr. Sherrer's shop, about six o'clock on Saturday evening, and asked him to buy some blacking. Mr. Sherrer said he did not want any, but told him to stop as he saw some cigars behind the lid of the small blacking-box which the boy carried. He, however, took to flight, but was imme diately stopped, when he begged to be forgiven. The cigars were found on him. The defendant was fully committed for trial. He begged hard not to be sent to the Sessions. BROMLEY. An old man, named William Reeves, attended to an swer an information laid under the Game Act, charging him with having unlawfully set a wire for the purpose of snaring game, without having a game certificate, and for which offence he had subjected himself to a penalty of five pounds. The presiding magistrates were the Rev. Sir C. Far naby, Col. Long, and Messrs. Chapman and Goodhart. A keeper, named Tye, employed on the estate of Mr. Wells, deposed, that he saw the defendant in a field, and observed him cut a branch from a tree, and tie a wire to it, and he then set the %%ire in the track of the game. Witness upon observing him complete the snare, went up to him, and took it away, and he now produced it. The defendant denied that he had set the snare. He admitted that he had gone into the field, but declared that what the gamekeeper said about his setting the wire was false. The BENCH inquired how the defendant got his living, and they were informed that he was a labourer. The keeper said that the defendant had been removed off the ground beore, and a written notice had been served upon him not to trespass. The notice was not only signed on behalf of Mr. Wells but also by several other gentlemen, and he believed Sir Charles Farnaby had himself signed it. Sir C. FARNABY said he did not recollect it, but it was very possible that he had. The Bench having consulted together, said that they considered the offence of an aggravated nature, and they should inflict a fine of 21. 10s. and costs, amounting alto gether to 2/. 195., and in default he would be committed for six weeks to har4 labour. The defendant asked for time to make up the money. Mr. CHAPMAN said the Magistrates c , mld not give him time. If the money was not paid forthwith, he must go to gaol. It was stated that the amount of the fine and costs was eventually paid, and the defendant was then dis charged. MURDER AT BRADFORD, IN YORKSHIRE. A dastardly murder has been committed at Bradford, in Yorkshire, by a number of Irishmen, who made an attack upon thirteen def-nceless men, the members of a musical band, while on their way home after being engaged in the procession of some Orange lodges on Whit Monday. The proceedings of the Orangemen were very orderly. and, beyond the band playing the tunes of " The Boyne Water" and "Hearts of Oak," there was nothing at all connected with the festival of the lodges calculated to offend the feel ings of any party or person. Nor was the expression of any angry feeling called for from those who are generally ready to feel violently offended at such processions— namely, the Irish Roman Catholics, of whom there is a large body in Bradford, who have there sought and found homes and good employment as wool-sorters, labourers, &c. But it appears, though the Roman Catholics have more than once had their " Holy Guild " meetings and processions without suffering either insult or injury, they were determined to treat some of those who took part in the festivities of the Orangemen in a very different manner. As soon as the band left the procession, at the close of the day, they packed up their musical instruments, and were proceeding quietly homeward when they were followed, about a mile out of Bradford, by some two hundred Irishmen and a few women and children. When the poor fellows had got to a part of the road where there were few houses, the Irishmen, who had supplied themselves with sticks, bludgeons, stones, and other missiles, made a savage attack upon them, which they were quite unable to resist. Their instruments were soon broken to atoms, and several of the men were most cruelly used. One poor man, named Benjamin Gott, was prostated by blows from a bludgeon, had his skull fractured by being most brutally beaten, and was left on the ground in a state of insensibility, from which he never recovered, and died on Wednesday night last. He was a quiet inoffensive man, un connected with the Orange body, and has left a wife and six helpless children, the youngest at the breast. On Saturday last, an inquest was opened on the body of the deceased at the Thornhill Arms Inn, Calverley, near Bradford, before Mr. Jewison, coroner, when a good deal of evidence to the effect above stated was adduced, and the in quiry was adjourned to Monday, the 10th inst. The case has excited much painful interest in Bradford and the thickly populated neighbourhood, and is in course of investigation by the West Riding magistrates usually sitting in that town. _ Five Irishmen, of the names of Thomas Regan, John O'Brian, Daniel Donovan, William Quin, and Diniel Power, are in custody, and have been partly examined on th e c h arge of having been inengaged. the murderous att ac k, an d i t i s said they have all been identified as parties who struck at the deceased. They stand remanded for further examina tion this day (Monday). I GAME.—In as far as grouse, partridges, and phea sants are concerned, there is great reason to fear that ' the present will prove a most disastrous season. The pouts, as soon as hatched, require drink as well as meat ; and where they are to find the former blissful element, after five weeks of continued aridity, surpasses our means of information. That gamekeepers are on the alert, digging holes, in the hope of turning to account lurking springs, we are well aware ; but their efforts, upon the whole, are so fruitless, that they remind us of the sad employment of those who let down buckets into empty wells and spend their days in drawing no water. The artesian well is an invention that cannot Le transported to our hills and moors ; and, iu the meantime, from all we can learn, great must be the suffering among the denizens of the wild. Blackcocks, which generally breed among marshy spots, are, of course, better off; although, even in their case, supply scarcely equals demand. Hares and rabbits, which feed early in the morning, may derive benefit from the earliest dews ; and this we sus pect is their only resource, as few of them dare venture near a running stream. Even bees, from the intense and long-continued drought, require at home what-they cannot easily find abroad—artificial supplies of water— and we are aware of instances in which the tenants of a single skep consume nearly the contents of two soup plates full daily.— Scotch Paper. BARBER AND FLETCHER.—These convicts are still at the Penitentiary. .Barber is a tailor, and was seen in the course of last week making breeches, dressed in the convict's apparel, and with his head closely cropped. Having chosen this trade or occupation, he is as a matter of course excused from the much more disagreeable occupation of picking oakum, which is extremely laborious, and very much taxes the eyes as well as the fingers. Fletcher, whose profession as a medical man is not likely to be called into exercise, and who cannot use the needle or wax-end, is regularly seated along with the numerous other convicts, and kept at work 1 with the oakum. They are both in low health. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. Lo :mos, JUNE 3.—Light northerly breezes, ClOll4 A' but tine.
