In the House of Lords, Lord COTTENHAM moved tie second reading of the Debtors and Creditors Bill, and pointed out the injurious effects of the present system, especially as regarded insolvents. The LORD CRANCELLOR approved of the Bill, and thought nothing could be more inconsistent than the present law. He trusted, however, that the com mittal of the Bill would be deferred for a short time, in order that the subject might receive due considera tion. The Bill was read a second time, and, in order to meet the views of the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord COTTENHAM proposed that it should be committed on that day fortnight. No other business was done in the House of Lords. In the Com Mons, on the order of the day being read for the further consideration of the Report on the Basingstoke and Newbury Railway, Mr. C. RUSSELL moved that the Report be further consi dered that day six months. A lengthened discussion took place, and on a division there were for the origi nal motion 166, and against it 73; and the Report was received. In answer to a question from Captain PECHELL, Mr. GouLnußls said, that the greatest care had been taken to expedite the return of money to per sons whose income was under 1501. a year, and from whom certain sums had been withheld under the Income-tax Act. The d e l a y h a d b een chiefly caused by the pirties net coming forward to make their C_laims. Thi s i s a St r ange assertion on the part of the Vit.aNcxxx oa of the EXCHEQUER, as it is well known that the difficulties thrown in the way of redress by the Government functionaries, prevent great numbers from asking merely for justice. This is one of the most not?ri.9oWitevanees of this tax, yet the Crtari "•:i thw' cxeceuza throws all the blame on icl& Th pf - - 'EZ .

Lord JocELYN asked Mr. HOGG to state, whether, on the part of the East India House, they had any objection to lay before the House any papers re 'specting the recal of Lord ELLENBOROUGH ? Mr. HoGG said he was net the organ of the Directors, but expressed a hope, in consequence of what had occurred in the House of Lords, that the House, and the public, would suspend their judgment upon the course which the Court of Directors had pursued. Mr. HUME thought the Court had acted rightly, and asked Sir ROBERT PEEL whether there would be any objection to lay on the table the correspondence which had taken place between the Government and the Board on the subject ? Sir R. PEEL declined answering the question. Mr. Fox MAums moved for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the administration of oaths in the uni versities of Scotland. His object was to do away with a system of tests which might have been justified at the time they were adopted, but which, in the pre sent spirit of the age, were totally and entirely obnoxious to the feelings of all men of liberal educa tion, which could be attended with no good effect to the Established Church, but, on the contrary, was calculated to pull down rather than to support that venerable fabric. Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the motion, because he considered himself bound to maintain inviolate the Presbyterian Church as established in Scotland. Mr. RUTHERFORD supported the motion, and de scribed the danger which would be the certain con sequence of religious tests. They would, he said, not only destroy the Church, but they would create a sectarian Church, which would become a most in tolerable evil. The LORD-ADVOCATE opposed the motion, and after several speeches, chiefly from Scotch Members, the House divided, when the numbers were—for the motion 101 ; against it, 128. The other business on the paper was then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'Clock. From this day forth it is most probable that the principal subject of Parliamentary discussion, during the retnainder of the session, will be the currency question. It is but natural that this should be so. For, in truth, the absorbing interest—the domestic, the universal importance—of our monetary system, and the extent of its bearings upon every class and condition of the empire, invests it with a character which attaches to no other topic at present especially fixing the public attention. The recal of a Gover nor-General of British India, even, fades into insig nificance by the side of this truly imperial question. It involves nothing less than the consideration whether our present greatness can be maintained so long as that monetary system shall be upheld on its present foot ing ; or whether, by now determining on certain ex pedients and judicious modifications in some particu lars, and returning to principles in others which «e have formally abandoned under tha enactments of the Legislature of 1819, we shall give facilities and guarantees for the continued progression of that greatness, and for its permanent consolidation. This is, succinctly, the tremendous issue involved in the result of the Parliament's intervention ' with the currency. Let us not be blind to the alternative of its non-intervention. Left to itself, to pursue the same course in which it has already encountered shocks so frequent and so disastrous, that system must inevitably work out to the fatal issue we have already indicated in former articles, of panic, private bankruptcy, national , anbarrassment, and commercial ruin—just as it would do under the active superintendence arid dirction of the most gifted enemy to British great ness. This inevitable tendency to destruction in the existing system we would earnestly impress on the minds of that considerable portion of the community who, though alive to the imperfections and the perils of that system, are yet content to await their de velopment, rather than incur the risks which they attribute to such a process of unsettlement and disor ganisation as they assume must be the effects of any change in our monetary policy. Ilow mischievous this Laissez faire philosophy in economic policy may be, and how absurdly exaggerated are the fears upon which it is based, we shall hereafter be enabled to de monstrate. It is carrying out too literally, and to an extravagant application, the wise axiom of the poet : _ _ -" Better to bear the ills we hare Than fly to others which w e know not of." A man who should find himself in a fire.ship would hardly push his respect for this axiom to the extent of not cutting off the train, which he sees, by the index, that the match already burning must otherwise ignite, within a given number of seconds. It would be no violent imputation on his philosophy or his good sense to hazard the unknown fate—captivity, or escape, for example—which may await him after securing the craft he is in from annihilation, rather than to leave a certain fate to burst upon him with all its horrors of explosion and combustion, simply because he is cognizant of the nature and the presence of its elements. We are anxious to deprecate this plausible plea for inaction —this well sounding apology for apathy or timidity —as one of the most dangerous that men can indulge in, in these times. It is nothing for parties to urge their dislike to open up and di;turb the disastrous set tlement of a vast question, on the mere fact of that assumed settlement having taken place five•and twenty years ago, unless they can show that the principles upon which their concurrence in so re opening it is asked is new, visionary, or purely theo retical. Failing to show this, they have admitted the national mischief and prejudice produced by what they call the " settlement" of the question ; yet are content so far to fail in their common duty to the pub lic weal, as to stand aloof from all attempts to obviate that prejudice, and to repair that mischief. Now, the principles on which they proceed, who are at this time, and for some time past have been, labouring to obtain from the Legislature an imme diate revision of our existing monetary system, are, as was observed last week by Mr. SPOTTISWOODE, on taking the chair at a meeting of the Protection of Industry Society, " as ancient as ARISTOTLE and PLATO." So far from being visionary or purely theoretical, they were adopted into the civil policy of the most distinguished republics of Greece, and of Rome herself (as shown by the very able authoi of " The Essay on Money," Lond. 1843) ; and they were successfully incorporated into our own law and usages in respect of currency, from a period dating before the Conquest down to the Revolution. This, too, is the view announced by Mr. ENDERBY, in his recent pamphlet on " The Distress of the Nation, its Causes, and Remedies." Feeling the injurious ope ration of this repugnance to " new principles," Mr. ENDERBY admits, for the sake of the argument, the fact of their novelty, and sensibly remarks : " Many persons are apt to look upon new ideas and novel doctrines respecting the currency and the banking system as empirical and Utopian, but I entreat them to lay aside any prejudices which they may at present en tertain, and to test my principles by the only infallible standard—the standard of truth." For our own parts, we would put the whole argu ment we propose to raise for a return to a legalised paper currency on no other or higher ground. If we cannot make out a case for such a remedial mea , sure on principles evident to common sense, and con firmed by the most ordinary tests of investigation and proof—analogy and experience—we shall be con tent to acknowledge to failure not less signal than that which has attended the predictions of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the late Earl of LIVER POOL, about the - effects of the measure of 1819. Having, in a former article, demonstrated the grave and m os t remarkable, not to say disin glaetneumours., H errors uatc taoafoin dealing simple statement h wt committed is ti by os the on the statistics which the Currency Bill of 1819 is admitted to have been founded ; the errors of calculation, and the anti cipated scale of depreciation that they res • ectively adopted, which the lat e M essrs. RICARDO and IforiNEß, Mr. GRENFELL, and oth ers o f the metallic heresy, fell into in the discussions and controversial pamphleteering of that day —we must request the reader, for the purposes of that fair consideration we shall crave for our argument against maintaining what is called the gold "standard of vceue," to dismiss from his mind the influence of mere names. There is unfortunately no lack of evidence on which to presume the fact of their having egregiously erred in the doctrines they aided more or less to force upon the practical adop tion of the Legislature andithe public. There is still less deficiency of evidence as to the ruinous eons°. quences which have, under the application of the measure founded on these doctrines, ensued to our commerce, to the condition of the middling classes, and especially to the industrial population of these kingdoms. We shall, in a future paper, proceed to show that our present monetary system cannot be carried on without speedily producing a crisis and a panic more dreadful than any which the oldest man living among us can recollect ; and a disorga nization of invested capital, and even displacement of labour, with all their attendant evils, to an extent of injury to the resources of the empire and their healthful action which it may require half a century to retrieve. We shall show that by a paper currency (one of two or three denominations which have been lately suggested) duly authenticated—to an extent equal, say to the aggregate of our present taxation, not convertible into gold, except indeed at the market value of bullion (should that condition be really de sired), but circulating together with the present issue of Bank of England and other bank notes, and the gold and silver coinage—and receivable by the QUEEN'S Exchequer and the Treasury, in payment of taxes of all kinds, dues, fines, &c., the demand for industrial labour might be largely and permanently increased, the trade of the empire - immensely ex panded, our issues sufficiently guarded against, the contractions of the Bank of England issues rendered nugatory, and, by consequence, the panics occasioned thereby obviated. We shall show that these end , can be attained only by the abrogation of a law which, fixing the price of gold, too often leaves that statutably cheap whilst all other commodities are marketably dear; and thus compels those to whom the controlling power over the whole currency is ul.- wisely confided, unnaturally to limit their own issues, to be the better enabled to answer the demands of the public for the conversion of their own notes into gold. Finally, we shall show that this improved system of paper currency supplies the only power of distribution and consumption, which can keep pace with, and make available to, the general happiness and wealth, that at present over-productiveness and always accumulating manufacturing energy, which is now the bane and the curse, instead of the reward and the support, of our operative classes. If after establishing these premises, as we have no doubt of doing, we shall succeed in proving the delusive nature of the anticipated injury to our home trade and foreign commerce, from the high prices which this influx of paper money will occasion, and in establish ing the advantage ultimately accruing to the whole community from those heightened prices, we shall have, we trust, made good our demand for the instant repeal of PEEL'S Bill of 1819. The forty-fourth anniversary meeting of the Church Missionary Society was held yesterday at Exeter Hall. The Earl of CHICHESTER presided, and, toge ther with the Bishops of CHESTER and RIPON, Sir ROBERT INGLIS, and the Rev. J. W. CUNNINGHAM. bore testimony to the great success which had at tended the operations of the Society, which, he re marked had triumphed over all opposition.. It is cer tainly a glorious—a magnificent object to attempt to convert the benighted heathens of the old as well as of the new world to Christianity; to pour the steady light of intelligence on darkened Africa; to hu manise the manners of the ferocious New Zea landers ; and raise the debased pagans of the Chinese islands in the scale of civilisation and morality ; this, we say, is a glorious object, and far be it from us to hint aught that might convey the idea that we were desirous to discourage it ; the blessings of Christianity are inestimable, and cannot be too widely diffused ; wherever the spirit of the Gospel pene trates, there peace, decorum, intellect, and all the elements of social order follow in its train ; still, while we cannot but approve the zealous and disin terested labours of the Church Missionary Society, common sense and patriotic feeling would suggest that that Society might be more profitably employed at home, in reclaiming our own benighted country men from ignorance and its inseparable concomi tant, vice, than in instilling Gospel truths into the minds of a set of squalid savages, who, compa ratively speaking, have the faintest possible claims on our consideration. The available funds of the Society at this present moment are, it is understood, upwards of one hundred thousand pounds, the whole of which large sum is to be spent in christianising the barbarians of the South Sea Islands, and the still more demoralised barbarians of Africa and the Chinese settlements. Now, how much more ration ally—how much more profitably might not this sum he employed in performing the same kind office for the thousands and thousands of our own countrymen who are sunk chin-deep in ignorance ; who have but an imperfect acquaintance with, and an habitual dis regard of, the great principles of virtue and morality; and who pass from youth to age without the slightest knowledge of one single Gospel truth ? Who but must remember the humiliating exposure made by Lord ASHLEY last year of the degraded condition in which vast masses of the lowest classes of our fellow countrymen were still suffered to remain ? lle proved, by a variety of documents, that admitted of no con tradiction, that their ignorance was scarcely sur passed even by that of an Australian savage ; that they were familiar with crime in its most loathsome and hopeless form ; and were ever ready, as oppor tunity offered, to play the part of the desperado, the insurgent, and the incendiary. No instructors had ever been provided for them—no one was found to instil into their minds the wholesome living truths of Christianity—they were considered, so to speak, as the outcasts—the Pariahs of society, on whom advice, remonstrance, and menace would be thrown away, and whom it was not worth any respectable man's while to endeavour to reclaim. Surely these unhappy and neglected beings have stronger claims on the active consideration of the Phurch Missionary Society than the far-away savages of New Zealand ! Surely it were wiser and better that we first attempted - to Christianise our own benighted coun trymen, before we directed our attention to the spiri tual wants of the inhabitants of remote regions ! By all means send out missionaries to China, Africa, the South Sea Islands, &c., but before you encourage them to go abroad, insist on their exerting their most strenuous efforts in the cause of religion at home When they have succeeded in humanising and Chris: tianising the minds of the thousands and tens of thou sands of debased creatures who swarm in our manu facturing and agricultural districts —aye, even in Mr. BANKES'S boasted Elysium of Dorsetshire—then, but not till then, let them turn their vigilant attention to the religious and moral wants of the Africans, the Chinese, and the South-Sea Islanders. Charity, says the old adage, begins at home, and we are de cidedly in favour of setting missionaries to work at home, before we send them abroad to plant the Gos pel, and sow the seeds of civilisation in countries akin to us in no one single respect, and separated from us by the breadth of immense oceans. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 23d ult. Reports were prevalent, which were believed by some to be well founded, of a change of Ministry. BRAVO was to resign, and be succeeded by NARVAEZ, as President of the Council. Only two members of the Cabinet were to remain in office. The Corresponsal, however, states that these reports are entirely without foundation. The Three per Cents. were done at 351 for cash, and 36 at sixty days ; and the Five per Cents. at 22f. The following is the official dispatch of the Baron DE MEER to the Minister of War, announcing the butcheries of Gerona : "Army of Catalonia—General Staff. " Excellent Sir,—l have the satisfaction of informing your Excellency, that the public tranquillity remains unaltered, both in this capital and the other parts of the district in my charge. " The Carlist officers and individuals mentioned in the ac companying list which I have the honour to transmit to you, were shot on the 16th instant, in Gerona, in conformity with my last dispatch, for having entered Spain from France, in order to excite civil war; and I have thought it proper on this occasion to direct the address to the people and the army which is contained in the General Order, a copy of which I also transmit for the due informatiOn of your Excellency, and the superior knowledge of her Majesty.—Ged preserve your Excellency many years.

The address alluded to announces to the people of Cata lonia, that the enemies of the public repose, having left the hospitable soil of France, to draw upon the country the hor rors and misfortunes of a new war, had been prevented by Divine Providence from realising their plans, and that the few who succeeded in crossing the frontier were taken, owing to the good spirit of the people and army, and, having been brought to Gerona, were shot there on the 16th instant, con cluding with the usual professions of horror at being obliged to shed Spanish blood, &c. Much excitement prevails at Paris, caused by a general belief that the Government have come to the determination of converting the Five per Cent. Stock. There is, in consequence, a regular scramble to buy into the Three per Cents., and get rid of the other at almost any price. This has caused a great rise in the Threes,which rose at one time on Monday to 84f. 65c., and closed at 84f. 25c. The Fives declined to nearly the same amount, and closed at 121 f. 75c. The amount of the latter does not exceed 7,000,0001. On this subject the Courrier Francais remarks Rumours of financial projects of an extraordinary nature, have excited much attention at the Bourse during the past week. The Ministry, by not giving any denial in the official journals, has allowed a re port to gain groundthat the Committee on the Budget has at last come to an arrangement with the Govern ment on the subject of the conversion of the Five per Cents. The details given with confidence on this Bill by men usually well informed, have greatly alarmed the holders of Fives, particularly on the eve of the KING's file, an epoch when the Government would not have failed to remove all doubt, if possible, from the mind of a mass of stockholders of whom the greater number reside in Paris, and form part of the National Guard. The conversion woken of would simply consist of a reduction of the Five into Four and-a-Half per Cents. But as the Four-and-a-Hales are negotiated at the Bourse at 112, it is evident that not a single holder of Five per Cents. would accept the reimbursement offered by the State at 100. The mere report on this subject has brought down the Fives one per cent., has induced many holders to sell their stock and purchase Threes, which, in conse quence, have risen one per cent. If the Committee on the Budget has really determined on some plan of conversion, -the Minister of Finance ought to make it publicly known." Another question has also excited some interest particularly in the Chamber of Deputies, namely, the election of M. C. LAFITTE, the banker, a third time for Louviers. The election had been twice annulled by the Chamber owing to a promise he made to his constituents to procure a railroad between that town and the Rouen and Paris Railroad. On Monday a motion was made to affirm the return, and was supported by all the Government influence. M. DE BEAUMONT opposed the return, not from party motives, but for the purity and dignity of the Cham ber, as he firmly believed the charges adduced against M. LAFITTE were clearly proved. The discussion had not closed at the hour of post. The following programme for the KING'S file appears in the papers : " Distributions of provisions will be made in the twelve arrondissements to the indigent inhabitants, at their own houses. From two o'clock till nightfall there will be the following amusements for the public on the Esplanade of the Invalides, and at the Barriere du Trtme—viz. : Two grand theatres, on which will be represented military spectacles and pantomimes, orchestras for dancing, and a maypole for climbers, with five prizes at the top. In the Garden of the Tuileries, in front of the Pavilion de l'Horloge, there will be a grand concoct at a quarter past seven. Grand fireworks will be let off about half-past eight, on the wharf of the Quai d'Orsay and at the Barriere du Thine, In the evening the Champs-Elysées, the Place de la Barriere du Trone, and the Garden of the Tuileries, as well as all the public buildings of Paris, will be illuminated."

Mr. Whiteside contended that the omission of thoe names was the result of fraud or design, and not accident. Now he would say, that whatever ground there might be to apply the fraud to the other side, there was none that could in the slightest degree attach it to the Crown. He did not say that the traversers, or any one acting for them, was guilty of fraud, but when a charge of the kind was made, and that it was sought to apply it to those acting on the part of the Crown, he had and say that if fraud . e x i s t e d moreat all it applicable to th e o th er s id e . There ground to sho w th a t th e a v a" r s, i a g ns l o i titnttuohcerhestloi slightest test omission of the names was the result of fraud or con trivance. After tiring the bench and the audience with a long heavy speech, he inti ma t e d th a t h e cou ld not conclude his argument till next day, and the Court adjourne lat four o'clock. It would be diffi cult to point out any trial during which so many long-winded speeches have been made. The Counsel for the Crown seem to vie with the traversers in making these monster trials utterly ridiculous. THIS DAY'S NEWS. IVIONE WAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday were 3,000 bales, 400 being taken on speculation. Prices were tolerably steady.—Shares had a good tone, and a fair business was 'done. Birmingham and Gloucester were 95; Dublin and Cashel, 4i ; Great Western, Half, 73i ; Birming ham, 230; South Western, 84; Paris and Lyons, 2g; South- Eastern, 36* ' • Ditto, New, mi. We are glad to observe from the monthly Manches ter report of Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor, that there has been a quiet but fair business done in most descriptions of our staple manufactures, and that although prices have declined a little, the raw material being also lower, the position of the spinner and manufac turer is not perhaps worse than last month. In the Cotton yarn market a considerable business is stated to have been done for India, China, the Mediterranean, and the Levant. Large quantities of the better class have been taken, being relatively cheaper for India and Greek account. The German buyers, however, have been withholding their orders, in ex pectation of a urther decline. Some good contracts have been entered into for Russian account. There needs but con fidence, the writers observe, to ensure a large export demand for cotton yarns and manufactures. There is much more activity in the produce markets, and the dealers having kept themselves very bare of stock under an apprehension of changes in' the duties, are now coming tbrward freely to purchase most of the leading staples, and the importers are paying duties to a greater extent than for some weeks past. The Stock Exchange being closed, as usual, on May-day, we have nothing to report of the funds.

The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to. day. THE , OREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE RIMMING- SIAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. —JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in the motion in this case, affirming the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor of England, granting an injunction restraining.the Bir mingham and Gloucester Railway Company from proceeding with their works. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ELY V. BLISS.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. His Lordship observed that the question before the Court turned almost entirely upon the construction of the late Act of Limitations, the 3d and 4th 'William IV., chapter 27 ; and the question arising out of that Act of Parliament was a question of great public im portance, namely, whether that Act related, as far as tithes were concerned, to estates between: adverse claimants of the estates and the tithes, or whether it extended to cases between the tithe-owner and the occupier of the land. His Lordship, after going at some length into the isguments that had been adduced before him, and the facts of the case, observed that lie could not help thinking that if he was to pronounce a decision on the construction of the Act of Par- Eminent adverse to the opinion pronounced by the Master of the Rolls, that the consequence inevitably would be, from the nature of the subject, its importance, and extensive opera tion, that the matter would go further, and a great expense and loss of time would take place. His Lordship thought, therefore, considering this as a mere question of law, of con struction of a statute, that would be most extensive in its operation, and that it might affect the decision of the Tithe Commissioners, who had put a construction on the Act supporting the narrower ground of interpretation, and having , been, intbrmed on the highest authority that an appeal was depending in the Court of Queen's Bench, he should best consult the interest of all parties if he directed a case for the opinion of the Court of Exchequer as to the construction of the Act of the 3d and 4th of Win. IV., chap. 27. That case plight be argued in the course of the next term, so as to enable his Lordship to dispose of the case altogether before the long vacation. . _ The Court then proceeded with the case of Canty v. Holds ditch. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY). The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with the further arguments in the part heard motion of Booth v. Glover. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the Crown paper this morning. No case of the least public interest had come on up to the hour when we went to press. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) _ THE QUEEN v. RICHARD ANDREWS. Mr. MILLER applied to the Court on behalf of Richard An drews, a prisoner in Warwick gaol, on a charge of murder,. that he might be admitted t o b a il b e f ore th e magistrates of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick. He made this ap plication on the ground, that there was not a scintilla of evi dence in the case to support the charge. The deceased was the infant child of the prisoner. She was about three or four years of age. The prisoner's wife was dead, and he lived with this child in a state of akect poverty, in a small house in a court of Birmingham. The prisoner had been remarkable for the very great attachment he had for his child, and the kindness he invariably showed to it. About half-past seven in the morning of a day in January, the prisoner hav ing gone out some little time, the people in the court were alarmed by s c r eams o f di s t res s which proceeded from the house, and going to the window they per ceived a fire in the room, and a child (to use theirown expres• sit,n) " fighting with the flames." They went into the house and found the child on a bed of shavings, with au old rug over it—the shavings being on fire. The child, which was very much burnt, was at once rescued and conveyed to the hospital. Near the place (and this was one of the grounds of suspicion) where the child's hand had been observed " fight ing with the flames" was a small cinder; which, however, in his (Mr. Miller's) opinion would, upon the trial, decidedly manifest the innocence of the prisoner. When the child was being taken to the hospital by the wife of a man who had been first to rescue it—and who kept a Louse of ill-fame in the court, this woman said—" I believe it was her father who set her on fire." The child, before it had been taken to the hospital, was asked how she got on fire, and she replied she had felt .so very cold that she had gone down stairs to warm herselfthat she had played with the fire, and then had got into the rug. In two or three hours after, about eleven or half-past eleven, when in the 'hospital, somebody spoke to her on the matter. and she said it was her father put her there. At this time the mind of the child was giving way, and there was no doubt (and the affidavits stated it) that, in her then wandering state, she feebly re collected what had fallen from the woman when carrying her to the hospital. Before twelve o'clock the evidence of the me dical gentlemen.testified that she was in a state of complete delirium. lie should state, that as soon as ever the father heard of the accident he hurried to the hospital in the great est agony, and that the moment the child saw him she strove to get to him, and hugged him in the fondest way, which she certainly would not have done, had he been the cause of the dreadful torture she was enduring. Unfortu nately the inquest upon the child was taken before a Coroner who was of the medical, and not of the legal profession, and who admitted these expressions of the child in evidence, which the Court would be aware a lawyer would not have done. The consequence of the admission of this illegal evidence was, that a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned, and the man was committed under the Coroner's warrant to Warwick Gaol, - to take his trial. At the last assizes an application was made by the prosecution to put off the trial, on the ground that the two persons he had alluded to who first discover«l the fire, were not present, and their evidence was essential. They, in fact, were persons of bad character—the police had been after them for some crime or other, and they had absconded. The prisoner had applied to the Court that the depositions of these witnesses should be read, in order that the Court might be satisfied there was no sufficient evidence against him, and so authorise him to go at large on bail until the absconding witnesses were brought forward; but Mr. Baron Gurney hesitated about this, on the ground that he could not recog nize consents in criminal cases. Before the witnesses went up to the grand jury the solicitor to the prosecution had very propel ly warned them that they must not repeat to that tribunal the illegal evidence which the Coroner had so im properly admitted before his jury. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN—Then the prisoner is arraigned on a true bill as well as on the Coroner's warrant. Mr. MILLER—Yes, my Lord ; but I have affidavits to prove that, though warned not to do so, the witnesses did give the same illegal evidence before the grand jury that they had previously given before the Coroner's Court. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN—How can you properly know what passed before the grand jury ? Mr. MILLER—The affidavits of the witnesses are now in my hand. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—Had the prisoner been kept in custody simply on the Coroner's warrant, my course would have been pretty clear, but when he is detained by reason of a true bill found by the grand jury, the case takes a very different aspect. Can you give me a case in point ? Mr. MILLER would endeavour to do so. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—I will take time to consider the matter, and to mention it to Mr. Baron Gurney. But you must be prepared with a case in point when the subject is again brought before the Court. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-day. THE QUEEN V. EMANUEL SCOTT AND OTHERS . Mr. EItLE applied for a rule to show cause why a fine of 5,000/., and some smaller fines, which the Court of Queen's Bench had imposed upon the defendantS, who are railway engineers, belonging to the Leeds and Manchester Railway, for the purpose of compelling them to widen and improve a parish road over which the railway passed, should not be en , tbrced, and why further proceedings in the matter should be • respited. The road was at first only 18 feet wide, and the parish authorities required that it should be made 30 feet wide. Colonel Pasley had pointed out how the improvement could be effected, and the defendants forthwith set about the matter and completed the requisite improvement, and as the fines had been only nominally imposed, in order to compel the de fendants to widen the road forthwith, it was now sought to have the parties relieved from any further process. Baron ALDERSON said that it was necessary to show that the public were satisfied with the alterations made in the road. It might so happen—though he did not mean to say it was so in this case—that both plaintiffs and defendants might be satisfied with what had been done, while the public convenience might not have been consulted in the matter. It was therefore necessary for the defendants either to get an affidavit from two resident magistrates, or from Colonel Pasley, to the effect that the public convenience had been at tended to in the nicking of the improvements. Mr. EnLE—Your Lordship could grant a rule nisi, to be made absolute on our procuring such au affidavit as your Lordship suggests. Baron ALDERSON—Yes, you can have a rule nisi, under taking to get such an affidavit. Rule nisi granted accordingly. The other cases that came before the Court up to the time of our going to press, were merely arguments on demurrer, involving only questions of law. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) John Miller, a respectably-dressed young man, was cha'rged with having maliciously damaged an organ, the property of an itinerant Italian musician, nam,ll Jean Corti. The complainant was not in Court to press the charge. Mr. RAWLINSON inquired if any of the witnesses were pre:- sent, when Henry Pearson stepped forward. Mr. RAWLINSON—Just tell me what you know of the case. The witness stated that he observed the prisoner and a companion dancing at the corner of Eden-street, Hampstead.. road, round the Italian, who was grinding at a great rate. pthe lie found th e Italian Then the prisoner gave the organ a couple of kicks at the bottom, and lastly kicked it in front, and knocked in the panel, and tore the silk. Some of those near took pity on the Italian, as lie could speak no English, and ran for a policeman. l The! an constable the midst stated f that iac crowd, o‘ when vt a n h d e came up had prisoner by u the collar. He pointed to the damage done to his organ, and lie (the constable) then took the prisoner into custody. Mr. RAWLINSON (to prisoner)—Well, Sir, you were prac tising the Polka dance, 1 suppose. Have you recompensed the poor Italian for the damage done to his instrument ? Prisoner—l gave him 4s. Mr. RAwuNsos—l do not think that enough ; you must leave 6s. more, which I will take care shall reach him, and until you leave it, I shall hold you to bail. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Mott, a private in the Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with the fol lowing impudent robbery:— Mrs. Weeks, landlady of the King's Head, Orchard -street, said the prisoner was in her house last night about nine o'clock. Having had occasion to go to the front door, she heard a noise at the counter, and saw the soldier in the act of drawing his hand from the direction of the till. She accused him with robbing her, but he denied the charge. He had is. sd. in his hand. She could positively swear to a half .penny, which was marked in a peculiar manner, and which she saw in the till a short time before the robbery. A young man who was sitting near the door of the tap room at the time of the occurrence, deposed to seeing the soldier take the money from the till. The prisoner solemnly declared that the money was his; that he was drunk at the time; and when in that state that he was in the habit of carrying the money which he had about with him in his hand. He fell by accident against the till.—He was fully committed for trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-( THIS DAY.) LONDON, MAY I.—Light easterly breeze, and fine. DEAL, APRIL 30.—Wiud E. to E.N.E., fresh.

The Commissioners present were Sir George Seymour, and Captain Symonds. There was a fair attend ance of ship-owners, merchants, and brokers, but the biddings afforded no great evidence of a desire to speculate in that description of property. Sir George. Seymour informed the company that the sale would not, as on former occasions, be conducted on the principle of Dutch auction, but that an upset price would be taken, the Commissioners being entitled to a reserved bidding. The several lots were then put up. and disposed of as follows :—The Lyra, 10-gun brig, 236 tons burden, was put up at 3504 the reserved bidding 7001.; not sold.
