Posed George Bidder, civil engineer, was first called. He de. to the general correctness of Mr. Brunel's evidence, given on atltrd ay. He was also examined on the toll clauses, which, at th e b r ates they proposed, would operate injuriously on the mineral ef North Staffordshire. He had also examined the plans te • l ev , sections of Mr. Brunel, and had discovered an error in the etre+ of the line proposed from Oxford to Wolverhampton. The of ° r he refer re d t o i n th e level, was a deviation in the datum line , it e iCilt feet, from the plan lodged in the Parliamentary.office. The was proceeding to explain the error, when 1 , 3 "'r• TALBO T interfered.

He then T L 'es himself to the subject of tolls, contending that the Great had broken faith with the iron.masters and mineral. :wners of South Staffordshire, in altering their traffic clauses t hey had done. Having amplified on these points, the Learned Gentleman concluded by calling witnesses in support of his case. _ Ur. Smith, L or d W ard ' s mineral agent, already examined on behalf of the Tring line, was called to speak to the damage that Would be done to Lord Ward's property, and as to the effect the difference of level between the main and branch lines, the tolls, transhipment, &c., would have on the mineral traffic. The Committee then adjourned. THE GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Committee re.assembled at eleven this morning, when Mr. Brunel, the engineer, was called, and stated he had ex amined the plan of the proposed junction line, and was satisfied of Its practicability, and of the great service it would render to the interests of the mercantile community of Glasgow, With this evidence the case for the promoters was concluded. Mr. HOPE then addressed their Lordships, in opposition, o be half of the t rus t ees o f t h e Clyde Navigation . He objected to the Bill on the ground that the contemplated railway would cal Y accommodate one eighth part of the traffic of Glasgow, °f the seven-eighths would be entirely neglected. The object the promoters was not so much to serve the interests of Gl asgow Gl asgow as to afford facilities for the conveyance of traffic -- ' n ing along the main line of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail. pa y „,The laying down of rails on the quays would cause great " tr uction to the traffic of the harbour, and the mercantile bodies et Glasgow were entirely oppose d to th e p ro j e ct.

The C ommittee met at eleven o'clock, in the Lord Chancellor's ( consisting of the following Members : Lords Bathurst 'an), Lilford, Calthorpe, Wynford, and Forester. C al" the • Al exander, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the promoters of kti Als o • Rowe f or Mr. P. James Pym, a banker i n Du b l i n, and a ironer against the Bill. The first question raised was, whether or not the Committee 4thhoul first procecd to investigate the merits of the case, and hear at : a Prornoters, or go on into the case of the petitioner, Mr. Pym, theezarnine into the report of a Select Committee of the House ' which had been appointed to inquire if the promoters of lent had complied with the standing orders, and if any fraudu mprraalces had taken place. • Atex ANDER contended that the promoters should be al "wtedi to proceed with the case in the usual manner. called on the other side, protested against this course, and e,the Committee, in the first instance, to inquire into Wh."k"egations contained in the report of the Select Committee, of chaT" L erd Besborough was at the head, and to investigate the ,rres Lev h petition of Mr. Pym. sue 'e Co mmittee retired to consider what course they should pur- T hey returned into Court in a few minutes, when she Noble CHAIRMAN said they would first inquire into the re port the S elect Committee.

In „ House of Commons the Bill had been rejected by 4'll Staading Orders' Committee on a variety of allege 210°. In the ordinary course cf things, the Bill could s be proceeded with, but Mr. Fitzstephen French, a Member of th e House o f Commons, and one of the most active of the pro. t Oera of the Bill, brought the matter before the House of Corn. : it e,ss and moved that the matter might be referred to a Com thatce of the House for inquiry, and, contrary to all precedent, Mo tion was agree d to . T he B i ll having, by this means, pis motion thr ough the Committ ee , was re f erre d to t h e i r Lordships' .?otise, The Bill came before the Standing Orders' Committee of Leoe n Ho ase of Lo r d s on the 7th of July. On the Bth of the same th the peti t i on of the Grand Canal Company against the Bill the peti t i on to be presented. The Grand Canal, as it is called, nalvverses I reland from east to we s t, an d i s a great public Iii111°"1 work. This Important Company was opposed to the tai „ n _ Their ptition was drafted, and the last day for presentation, etlSth day, of e July, came, when suddenly a notice came that cer. ZDirectors of that Company, who acted without the con. notoence of the gre a t b o d y of the shareholders, had entered sum ' e. _ a cornpromise with the promoters of the Bill, and, for th Sitio of ten thousand pounds, had ag om reed to withdraw all oppo e n ' Mr. Pynn being a large shareholder in the Grand Canal any, and averse to the Bill, was taken by surprise, but still kr el i3 ved upon giving it all the legitimate opposition in his power. Yrn , ten presented a petition to the Standing Orders' Corn tilitset, praying for time to present another which would detail at . L e a_ltth the grounds of his opposition. lie said he was prepared to t 'l l it ey t e that the standing orders had not been complied wi(1), b,,„„ forgery had taken place, and that other frauds had ,-_-_coanitted. This petition was taken into consideration ; and, "the following Thursday, the Duke of Richmond moved the ay. Pointment of a S e l ect Comm i ttee, of which Lord Besborough was m lb* bead, to inquire into the allegations of these petitions. The report of this Committee contained several allegations of gross im propriety, but that to which he would immediately call their attention was, that a large number of the signatures to the contracVng deed were fictitious and forged. The law required that three-fourths o fthe capital should at least belong to parties signing the contract ing deed. The capital was said to be 1,080,000/. The deed of contract showed signatures to the amount of 819,5001., being, in fact, 9,5001. more than the law required. He would call abundant evidence to show that several of these signatures were fictitious, and that, in point of fact, nothing like three-fourths of the signatures were genuine. The Learned Counsel then read a body of evidence, from which it appeared that in many instances the names of persons as shareholders had been forged, whilst in others men of no substance had been represented as subscribers to a very large amount. In one case a parish pauper, Margaret Meredith, was represented on the contract di eJ, as a subscriber to the amount of 3,5004, and as having paid 1701. into the bank. He likewise read from the evidence before Lord Besborough's Committee se veral false places of abode : one of these " men of straw" had the address " House of Commons" affixed to his name. It was further stated by the Learned Counsel, but denied on the other side, that on Christmas-day the promoters of this scheme kept an office open in London and were actually receiving shares and transacting business on that day. He quoted the evidence given before the same Committee to show that in numerous cases the names of shareholders had been forged to the deed for various sums, or fictitious places of abode given, or both. He mentioned the names of a clergyman of the Church of England for 1,5001.; Mr. Eastgate, 1,2501. ; Vincent Allpipe, 5001.; John Emanuel, 750/. ; and John H. Lowe, 1,2501. On the whole, he summed up fictitious subscriptions to the amount of 35,0001., which would invalidate the contract deed. Some of the largest subscribers to the deed were mere hired officials. The clerk to the secretary, by name Charles Freeman, a person not worth 2001. in the world, was put down as a shareholder to the amount of 10,0001. He could prove cases of insolvencies, &c., to the amount of 120,000/., besides the cases of absolute fraud, but he trusted their Lordships would consider it unnecessary in him to go into the case at such length. The CHAIRMAN—I told the Learned Counsel he must take his own course. Mr. Rowe proceeded with his case, and went into other evi. dence, given before Lord Besborough's Committe, of a like nature. He concluded by calling on the Committee to quash the Bill, and not allow so dangerous a precedent to be established as that which would be infallibly set up by going into the merits of the Bill itself, after demonstrating the frau dulent manner in which the scheme itself had been originated and supported. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to call witnesses in sup port of the Bill, but it was found that they had not been sworn. Their Lorships adjourned till to-morrow morning, at eleven. LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE LINE. The Committee on this Bill, consisting of Lord Skelmersdale (chairman), Lord Strangford, Lord Carrington, Earl Fitzharding, and the Earl of Munster, met this morning at eleven, when, Mr. Hill the counsel for the Bill not being present, The CHAIRMAN ordered that the room be cleared, in order that the Committee might consult as to what course should next be taken. On our re.admission, The CHAIRMAN said that Committee had come to a resolution that the solicitor for the Bill should be desired to open the case, but that as Mr. Hill and Mr. James, who appeared for the pro moters of the Bill, were now present, the business could procced as usual. Mr. HILL objected to the appearance of counsel on the part of Mr. Dinsdale, a petitioner against the line. Mr. Dinsdale, he said, had appeared before the Committee of the House of Commons, and before the Standing Orders' Committe of the House of Lords, and in each case it had been decided that he had no locus standi. The land through which the line passed was a "slob," or piece of un reclaimed land, which had been the joint property of the petitioner and a Mr. Robertson, up to the year 1841, when it had been divided between them. Some time after this, Mr. Dinsdale sold a part of his slob to Mr. Hemings, who was one of the supporters of the Bill, but reserved to himself 100 acres. The land which he had reserved was one acre and a half from the proposed line. This Bill was for a double purpose : its nominal object was only to make a line; but the embankment which would be necessary for the line would keep the water from the land, and se help to re c.aim the 100 acres of slob which belonged to Mr. Dinsdale. It was quite clear from this, that the petitioner's land would not only not be crossed by the line, but would not even be injured by it, and therefore that he could not appear before the Committee. Mr. BUTT, who appeared for Mr. Dinsdale, replied, on the part of that gentleman. There were three grounds on which Mr. Dinsdale claimed to appear before the Committee. The line would certainly not cross his property, but it would shut him out from the sea. At present his land was bounded by the sea, but if this line were made, the nearest shore accessible to him would be at the distance of a mile and a half. It was not the line which would be that distance from him, but the sea. This would injure his property by depriving him of a ready means of shipping agricultural produce. But this was not the strongest ground on which he claimed to be heard ; there were two others much stronger. At the time when the land was divided between Mr. Dinsdale and Mr. Robertson, the Bally-Kelly Canal, which passed through it, was taken as the boundary. But the canal did not divide the land equally, and it was therefore agreed that arbitrators should be employed to decide which was the greater of the two parts, and that they should be empowered to take a portion of the larger from the holder, and add it to the smaller property, in order to equalise them. These arbitrators had not yet come to any decision about it, and as Mr. Dins. dale's property was, as he could prove, by far the smallest, some portion of the property of Mr. Robertson must be attached to it at a future time. The railway would pass through the property of Mr. Robertson, and the land through which it passed might be the very land which might be given to Mr. Dinsdale by the arbi trators. Mr. Dinsdale had not sold his interest in this land ; for in selling the land which he did possess, he could not sell that which he did not. The third ground on which he claimed a locus standi was, that there was a clause in the agreement made when the land was divided—there was a clause to the effect that if any portion of the property of one party was unreclaimed on the 7th of June, 1846, it should become the property of the other. Now, a large proportion of Mr. Robertson's land, through which this line would pass, was still unreclaimed. and if unreclaimed on the 7th June next would become the property of Mr. Dinsdale. On these three grounds, therefore, he (Mr. Butt) claimed to be heard on the part of the petitioner. Mr. JAMES replied on ►he part of the promoters of the line, and The room was cleared by order of the CHAIRMAN. The Coro. mitee having consulted for a short time, we were re.admitted, and The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee could not admit the op position on the part of Mr. Dinsdale, but were of opinion that a clause ought to be inserted in the Bill to protect him from injury. It was then a quarter past one o'clock, and the Committee ad journed till three. On the re-assembling of the Committee at three o'clock, Mr. BUTT proposed a clause for the protection of the rights of his client, Mr. Dinsdale, which was agreed to after some discussion. Mr. Turner, the solicitor for the line, then said that there was but one witness whom it would be necessary to call to prove the preamble of the Bill. Mr. William Leathern, merchant at Derry, spoke to the truth of the statements contained in the preamble of the Bill. The Committee then declared the preamble to be proved, after which they separated at a quarter before Four o'clock. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee re. assembled at eleven this morning, Lord Mont eagle in the chair. The opponents of the Bill proceeded to call further evidence against the direct line from Goole to Wakefield. Mr. Birkenshaw, civil engineer, had examined the proposed line and the opposing project by Brayton, and he considered that though the latter was three miles and three-quarters longer, yet the gra dients being so much better, trains would be enabled to run in the same time with the other. The steepest gradient was lin 330, while on the other, or direct line, the steepest was 1 in 150. Neither did he think the estimate of 360,0001. sufficient to make the line. That only gave 16,0001. per mile for construction, which he thought was totally inadequate. The estimate for the Brayton branch was under 9,0001. Mr. HILDYARD was preparing to examine the witness on the part of Mr. Smith, an opposite landholder, with respect to the merits of some line not before the Committee, when Mr. WILKINs objected, and after some arguments pro and con, The CHAIRMAN decided that the examination should not be pro ceeded with. • • The witness was then examined generally as to the practica • bility of a better line being formed from Wakefield to Goole. He had advocated a line before the Commons, which was shorter, cheaper, and more level than the other, and it seemed to him that it was scarcely possible to lay down a worse line than that which had been adopted. The witness was subsequently cross-examined at great length by Mr. WILKINS, with respect to the minor details. Mr. T. L. Gooch corroborated the last witness. Mr. Swanick and Mr. M'Connell supported the same line of evi. dence. Mr. Robert Stephenson gave similar evidence. The improve. ments in locomotives were neutralised by the adoption of steep gradients, so that, in fact, as far as mere quickness of transit went, they were in the same position that they had been ten years before. Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. DIRECT NORTHERN LINE-PARRINGDON- STREET EXTI.INSION. The Committee met this day shortly after twelve. Members present—Viscount Courtenay (Chairman), Mr. Darby, Mr. Scrope, and Mr. B. Wall. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM then commenced to sum up the evi dence adduced on behalf of the London and York line. He said that he congratulated the Committee on the important event that had taken place, via , that after having travelled in the wilderness for seventy days, they had at length arrived nearly at the end. He would not complain of the attacks levelled against them by Mr. Hildyard. That gentleman had received a blow, but was not the man to rest quiet, or not return it. They had passed through many a peril. Attempts had been made to impugn the accuracy of their sections, but, as he anticipated, had proved abortive; the attack was founded upon error, and had terminated in failure. But to proceed shortly with the main question. After a discussion of seventy days, they were called on to decide whether the line that he represented as the most direct, or the Farringdon-street Exten sion, in connexion with the Cambridge and Lincoln line, should construct a line of railway between the metropolis and Cambridge. It is admitted on all sides that a trunk line to the north is abso lutely necessary. The main question is then resolved into the one, which company is the most fitting to construct it ? And, first, Lord Winchilsea has transferred his favour from their opponent to the London and York, and indeed no one could help concurring in his evidence that the present enormous traffic of the districts would be all forced upon the route which that Com pany proposed. The Midland Company appeared to fancy that their traffic would receive a check, and viewed with an eye of jealousy and dislike any competition in the field. Mr. Ste phenson, in fact, when under cross-examination admitted that his services had been secured by the Midland Company against the London and York Line. Mr. WEBSTER dissented from this statement. Sergeant WRANGHAM continued, by observing that the con nection between the Eastern and Midland Counties was notorious. The London and York Company would construct its line from Lincoln to York at 968,0001., while the Direct Northern, though travelling over a less distance by eight miles, could not effect it under 978,000/. Again, from London to Huntingdon the line of rail could be completed by the London and York for 2,100,0001., including the cost of the London station, while the Direct Northern admitted that they could net construct the same distance under 2,250000/. But, commencing at the metropolis, and criticising the schemes throughout—as to the Farringdon.street Extension, he urged in the first place that the Committee could not pass that Bill this session, inasmuch a; its construction depended on the authority of two companies, three-fourths of the members of whom must sub scribe to its necessity. But while he contended thus,that the pi o ject could not be carried out in its p resent stage, he felt no animosity to it, if its promoters chose to carry it into effect without interfering with the other station at King's-cross. If that project was considered valuable for the traffic from Cam bridge and Norfolk, his friends had a perfect right to his consent to its construction, but that construction must be independent of the station at King's.cross. With respect to the lateral opposition which, it was asserted, the London and Yoik held out, he con tended that it was Mr. Hudson and his adherents that were open to such an objection, rather than the promoters of the direct line, and he would instance the case of the Goo e and Wakefield line, at this moment before the consideration of Par liamentary Committee. The London and York line were not there its opponents, they did not accuse it, nor were themselves accuse(' of competition, but the followers of Mr. Hudson were prosecuting the mostvirulent resistance to it. Their computation thus remain ing undisputed, showed that the entire idcome desirable from the traffic on the line would be 1,100,0001., deducting 75,0001. for the alleged overrating in the carriage items, and 60 per cent. for the ordinary contingent reductions, there would be 1 a 'clear return of 600,0001., giving a dividend of 9: 1 .1 1 per cent. on the capital of 6,500,0001. Surely, with such a prospect of Reimbursement, the Company had sterling reasons for raising the large capital they proposed, and in representing their treasury as a bona fide and inordinarily good means of investment. Then their opponents had attempted to impugn their traffic tables, well knowing that nothing but such a course would give them the least chance of making out any case whatever against the London and York. Mr. Parker, a gentleman of at least some cele. brit) , as a traffic taker, was put into the witness box, • and, at first, by his p'ausibility, almost terri fied the London and York. He adopted a system, however, which, on cross-examination, proved so novel, shallow, and erro neous, as to preclude it from the danger of ever becoming vulgar by general adoption. He had first halved all the traffic he met with at different points, and then doubted it, and yet affected that by these means lie halved the traffic anticipated by the London and York, who took the entire without increase or reduction 1 The gentleman had for gotten that once one was exactly the same as, and no more than, half two.—(A laugh.) Nevertheless by some unintelligible contrivance a reduction of 75,0004 was made by Mr. Parkes in the computed traffic of the London and York. His Learned Friend, Mr. Hild„ard, had, however, thought it more cxi edient and more wise to omit all mention of that reduction in the speech with which he closed his case, even -in neg lect of the challenges of the Committee. But what was the character of the evidence made by that eminent, honest, and un rivalled engineer, Mr. Cubitt, on behalf of the London and York line ? Why, despite the array of talent and animosity apposed to them—despite the log which the Board of Trade had, on insuffi cient evidence, cast around their necks—and despite the defiance he himself had afterwards thrown out. Not one single solitary attempt had heen made by any one party, surveyor, counsel, or engineer, to contravert or deny it. The great features in favour of this line he represented, might be summed up in a few words :—there was its entire independence, a vast and ii.valuable advantage, and one not units of property and units of management which conduced to convenience and economy. Another, and no slight feature in the scale of the London and York was, that it took the old route through every . .market town between the termini: an advantage of this kind was pre eminent, when the ancient market towns were regarded, and the important trade concentrated there. Again, it afforded a connexion with every single town of consequence in the neighbourhood, affording advantages even to Wakefield as well as York. Cambridge only bad been omitted, but the Company had the choice of taking in either that town or Lincoln; and could any one doubt that in selecting the latter a right judg ment had been evinced? The witnesses on the other side spoke even energetica'ly of the importance of Lincoln as an agricultural district, and one, Mr. Healy went so far as to say, that it was the finest arable or pasture land in the world. But if the people of Cambridge were so anxious for rail way communication, tee London and York ;:ompany were most will. ing, and had pledged themselves, to construct a line both with Lincoln inter se and inter terminons. But before he sat down, he could no t but advert to the charges proposed upon the line, charges he believed unexampled for their lowness. First-class passengers have to be conveyed upon the line at the rate of 2d. per mile; second class, ; and third class, ld. per mile. Bailed goods were to be carried at 2d. per ton per mile, and coals at 3 A el. per ton per mile. And as to parcels—a department of traffic to which he wished to cal the most particular attention of the Committee, as a method both novel and satisfactory had been proposed— parcels under a stone weight would be carried for sixpence, if for a distance not exceeding twenty-five miles, for all other distances over that there would be one uniform charge of one shilling, Len .fits to the neighbourhood which could scarcely ba over-rated. Such were the advantages which this Company pos.. messed over its rivals, he had never done his duty to his clients, and the Committe and he now closed the case with confidence and satisfaction, because he believed that no other course could be adopted by the Committee than to grant the preamble of the Bill which he represented, inas much as it was calculated above all others to extend social and moral improvement, to spread prosperity throughout the cnuntry, " to bless her fields with increase, and satisfy her poor with bread." The Learned Counsel sat down amidst a slight demonstration of applause, which was, however, immediately checked. Mr. Wells, on behalf of the Cambridge and Huntingdon line, having enquired if the Committee could name a day when that Bill could be proceeded with ? 'llse Chairman and his colleagues withdrew, to consider when their decision on the lines already discussed would be given. After an absence of some few minutes, The CHAIRMAN said that as the subjects for investigation were very lengthened, and would take some time fully to deliberate on, the Committee would adjourn till two o'clock on Wednesday, but without pledging themselves to give their decision then. The Committee then adjourned. RAILW AY COMMITTEES. (SATURDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. con.NNATALX. (Continued from our Third Edition of Saturday.) Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH followed for the promoters in reply. The Committee retired shortly before nine o'clock to consider their decision. On their Lordships' return, The Noble CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee were of opinion that the construction of a railway from Plymouth to Fal mouth, with a branch to Bodmin, would be of great public ad. vantage. But they were also of opinion, that wit hout a further and more a _curate survey, with the view to procure gradients of a more favourable character, and to avoid, if possible, the crossing of the Hamoaze, the Bill should not now be further proceeded with. The announcement was received with cheers on the part of the opponents, which were instantly checked. MPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. ROYAL ASSENT.

The Fisheries (Ireland) Bill, and the Drainage of Lands Bill, were read a third time and passed ; as was also the Mas ters and Workmen's Bill. SCOTCH POOR-LAW BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Bill, Mr. H ASTIE said that the Bill, considering the importance of the measure, had been passed through the House with inde cent haste, considi ring the importance of the alterations intro duced into it, and he should, therefore, move that the Bill be read that (jay week. The LORD ADVOCATE objected to any delay, on the ground that it had been largely discussed. Mr. WAKLEY felt that he had reason to complain that the index to the evidence that had been promised had not been fur nished. It was necessary, for the mass of evidence was such that it was impossible to wade through it, and the alterations were of so much importance that they ought not to be introduced with out knowing the evidence on which they were based. He had himself inquired that morning at the poorhouse of St. Pancras, and he found that an alslebodied Scotchman if he applied f,,r relief might come into the house, but whether he had a wife or whether he had not he was to be sent to Scotland, and there cast on its shores helpless and destitute, and where the poor law officers had no power to relieve him. He thought therefore that it ought to be recousidere,'. Mr. DUNDAS thougrt that the alterations were of such importance that he wished the Lord Advocate to postpone the Bill. Mr. LOCKHART supported the Bill, as he thought it would be of advantage to Scotland. After a few worth from Mr. R. 'YORKE, who wished the postponement, and from Mr. HENLEY, who was anxious that there should not only be an unit, rm law of settlement, but also an uniform poor.law throughout the kingdom, The I loue diviatd, when there appeared-- For the motion 33 Against it —26 illajor;ty . .

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, THE STIN I LONDON, MON'DAV EVENING, JULY 21, 1845. The Earl of LINCOLN said that as some mi,wprehemion had arisen respecting the thi, el reading of thls he part of the Hoa. Member for .Montrose (Mr. Hume) who was not present, he should postpone the third reading till twelve o'clock to-morrow, whet it would cortaio'y coarse on. GAAIES AND WAGERS BILL On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Sir JAMES GRA HAAI said, that the object of this Bill was two-fold. Firstly, to regulate the entry of those hoops avowedly kept open f or gam i ng ; and, secondly, to amend the laws respecting wagers generally. As tl'e law now stood, no house could be entered except on an information signed by two householders. It was proposed to trans,er the power of laying the information from these parties to the inspectors of police, who, on evidence receivzo, were to lay intorma tion before a magistrate, and on such information the magistrate was empowered to grant a warrant, on which the police might act. With rtspect to the second por tion, its object eras to define what were and what were nut to be wagers recoverable by law. With so useful a purpose, he had no hesitation in propO s i ng the second reading of this Bill , Mr. HAWES said that the Bill did not confine itself to the recominemlation of the Commissioners, for it interfered with licensed victuallers in a manner that was not contemplated. 'I here was an attempt in the Bill to define an unlawful game, but that definition was so extensive as to ins_:'ude any innocent game ! added to this they weie goiter to do that by the Belt that. would operate as a turther heavy tax upon tie licensed victuallers if they had a billiard table—a body. he thought, that was sufficiently taxed are,,dv. The Bill, in fret, went beyond the description of it given * by the Esght Hon. Baronet, and beyond what was contemplated by the Ga.nin , Committee. Unless the Right Hon. Baronet would insert a (hose ex, mat ing the licensed victuallers from the eperatton of the Bill, he should vote against its second reading. Mr.IIESLEY would o pp ose th e iceon d leading, unless some alteratio..s were made with resrct to the powers of the in spectors oh police. Mr. SPOONER I.ad strong objections to several clauses of not object to the secon d rea di ng of the Bill, as i ts the Bill, but he tr uste d the Iron. Mt mbar fur Lambeth would good. principle was Sir JAMES GR A [IAA] denied that it was the object of the Government, in brinein this Bill, to meet the case of certain ; the mea ure bad been brought forward for the purpo•e (it putting an . end to gambling in the me t r opolis, that had been productive of the worst of con sequences ,— ( H ear, Lear. ) Il e denied alto that the Bill was intended to o,,erate only against the lower classes, and that it passed by the higher. The second clause was levied against play, not only by the lower, but the higher classes. That clause was most stringent against hazard, a game, he believed, not much indulged in by the lower classes. As to the licensed victuallers, the Bill would not operate harshly against them. In conclusion, be trusted that the second reading of a Bill to prevent gaming would never be opposed in a British House of Common. WARBUiITON tht,uglA the Bill acted unfairly with respect to informers, in preventing them from recovering any but taxed costs. • Mr. B. ESCOTT said that the Committee that sat upon the question of qui tam actions were cle,rly of opinion that the statute of Anne was never intended to apply to betting on horse•racinr. He trusted that the Bill would be allowed to go into Committee. Mr. C. BERKELEY would give his support to the Eight Honourable Gentleman if he would strik,. out all the clauses in the Bill, except those that related to qui tarn actions.—( A laugh. ) He thought the Bill would act most un fairly towards the licensed victuallers, an i he should not. be content unless all the clauses with resp,ct. to them were strtwk out. Sir G. STRICKLAND considered the 811 as the foun dation of a ;4 , 01 principle, and, alth o ugh some of its clauses were t str ing ent, h e wo uld vote for the s ec o n d reading, in order that those clauses might Le amended in Ciimmittee. Captain ROUS would vote for the second reading. He was as anxious to put an end to gambling as any man ; he did not desire to protect the rich, and be trusted that the first information would he against Crockford's Club-house. — (A laugh.) WAK LEY corsidered that the bill would operate most harshly on the licensed victuallers; as to the informers, he looked upon them as p,sts to society, end as such they ought to be treated as strictl\ as possible in legislation. Sir J GitAHAal aid rot wish to press harshly upon the licensed victulleu, tut titer than to prevent the growing evil of gambling. When the House went into C , mmittee, he would carefully consider what had fallen from the Hon. Members for Lambeth and Finsbury. After a few words tram Mr. H AWES, the 11111 was read a second time, aid it was arranged that it should be corrmltted pro form,:z to-morrow, and another day appointed for its dis cussion. The business of the House was then suspended till half-past four o'clock. The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at Half-past Four o'clock. ROYAL ASSENT—SUMMONS FROM THE LORDS. Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher :of the Black Rod, summoned the House to attended the House of Lords to hear the Royal Assent git.en to several public and private Bills (fur which see Lorck' report). The SPEAKER, accompanied by several Ilon. Members in obedience to the summons, immediately left House. The SPEAKER returned from the House of Lords at a quarter past five o'clock, having been ab,ent about forty minutes, when the House resumed. DUDDESTON AND NECHELLS IMPROVEMENT BILL. The report of this Bill was taken into consideration and agreed to. GRIMSBY DOCKS BILL. The report of this Bill was also considered and agreed to. EPPING RAILWAY BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. MACAULAY presented a peti ion from persons re sidrnt in Edinburgh, and having friends and relations in New Zealand, praying for an inquiry into the state of that colony. Mr. SPOONER presented a similar petition from Bir mingham. Air. DUNCAN pro,ented peiition from Dundee com plainirg delay of the mails in Edinburgh.. LUNATIC ASYLU.,IS Mr. T. DUN COMBE presented a petition from inhabitants of the county of Surrey, praying for the postponement of this Bill, and alleging that the petitioners had important informa tion to communicate to the House on the subject, if time were allowed. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. Mr. HAWES begged leave to take that opportunity of putting a question to the Ri g ht H on . B aronet opposite (sir Hobert Peel) on the subject of the matters which had transpired respecting the South-Eastern Railway. He wishe?: to ask whether the Government meant to act upon their own responsibility in reference to the report of the Com mittee of the House? His que , tinn was, whether they had taken into consideration the report of the Select Committee of the House respecting the corduct of Mr. Bonham, Captain Boldero and Mr. Wray ?—( Hear, hear.) He wished to know whether the Ministers in the case of those gentlemen had acted upon their own responsibility, or were waiting for further proceedings in the House ? Sir HonEwr PEEL begged to state to the House, in an swer to the question of the Hon. Member, that the course taken by her M a j esty ' s Government was this. Alter the consideration bf the report of the Committee ap pointed to inquire into the matter lad been laid be fore them, a communication had been received from 111 r. Bon ham and Captain Boldero, surrendering the offices which they respectively held. They stated that although they had been exonerated from any suspicion in this transaction; although their characters were co mp l etely cleared, and although in their official capacity they had not been influenced by any suggestions of self-interest, but, at the same time, they felt that their efficiency as members of a pub lic body was likely to be impaired, and therefore they tendered their r es i gnat i on. To Mr. Ray, who held ine office of Reeeiverr- Ge nera l to the Police establishment, his Right Honourable Paiend b es id e h i m directed a commun i cation to be forwarded t o him, c , lling upon hi m f or au e xplanation, and, as regarded M i .. Hi gnett, his Hon. and Gallant Fiend the Alaster-lieneral of the Ordnance had informed him (Sir R. Peel) that he had been furmally dismissed her Majesty's service. Captain BOLDER°, felt truly the painful situation in which he was placed before the House, and he would endeavour to inform them in as few words as possible, of every circum stance connec fug his name in any wry with transactions. The House waii, of course, aware that the South-Eastern Railway Company had presented a petition to the House, in were brought aga i nst Mr. Bonham and himself. which be chargesmatter h a(i been referred to a Committee of the House for inquiry, and after mature deltberartton and the strictest inquiry—alter witnesses had been examir, d, and alter the do cuments connected with the transaction bad beer. received and perused, that Committee had presented a report to this House, to which he would briefly refer. (The lion. and Gallant Member then read copious extracts from the report of the Committee,f which have already appeared in thi s paper.) . 1 he Committee in that report stated that nothng had transpired which led them to suppose that the Master-General or other of the higher officers of the Board of Ordnance had b een i n fl uenced by other motives than those which depended solely on the merits of the ques ion of railways itself. When he ( Capt. Boldero) was examined before that Cotnmitttee, he exposed every private transao lion of his connected wnh Hallways without any hesitati o n, and in the course of his evidence he stated that he • had purchased some shares in the North Kent, but he was not in tl-e slightest degree smphcated as a member of the Board, nor would any decision of the Board be affected by that circumstance.

Y .terday afternoon a royal messenger arrived direct from the .11:igue, bearing intelligence of the King of Holland's positive intention of visiting this country within the present week. From private information it was fully expected that his ➢Majesty and suite would have arrived at Mivart's Hotel on Saturday evening, and carriages were even sent to Woolwich by four o'clock in order to be in readiness to convey the illustrious visitor and re tinae to the metropolis. We are informed that the substance of the intimations brought from the Hague by the King's messenger was hat circumstances had detained the King beyond the day originally cunterupLted for his departure for E;,g land, but that his Majesty and attendants would embark for England, at Rotterdam, on Wednesday next, and that the King would certainly arrive by the following day (Thursday). His Excellency M. Dedel,. the Netherlands Minister, and General Fagel were at Mivart's several times on Saturday; and yesterday. after the receipt of dispatches from his Govehement, his Excellency gave the neces sary instructions - to Indic every preparation for his. Ma j: sty's ecption on lhursthy. The Earl of Jers:-y, the _Master of the Horse, has re ceived the commands of the Queen that the royal car riages and servants of his department of the royal house hold he placed at the King of Holland's disposal during his :Majesty's sojourn in this country. The Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting to the Queen, h9.s Le,ei seh cted f r the honour of attending on the King of Holland while here, and the Hon. Capt. Nelson Hood is to be the other attendant to wait on his Majesty. WOOL WIC!-1.-SATURDAY. VISIT OF PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE AND THE PRINCE OF SAXE WEIMAR. At an early hour on Saturday morning it became known at Woolwich that Prince George of Cambridge, the Prince of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by Lieutenant-General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C. 8., Military Secretary to the Com mander-in-Chief, and a distinguished party, would visit Woolwich in the course of the day. Every preparation was made to show the various exercises of the Royal Regiment of Artilery, and objects of most interest in the extensive departments connected with that branch of her Majesty's service. The party arrived at the Marshes at twelve o'clock, accompanied by Major-General Sir Hew D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of Artillery, and various other officers, and proceeded in their carriages to a station within about one hundred yards of a flag-staff, placed upon the nearest end of a range of works, constructed to represent a fortification, and mounted with old guns, against which ricochet practice is carried on. The practice on this occasion was excellent, and afforded evidence of the destruction which would be effected in actual warfare. After the ricochet practice, the field batteries of the Royal Artillery marched fursAard under the command of Colonel Cleveland, until within 200 yards range of the target, when they opened a destructive lire of case shot. The batteries were afterwards drawn up at four hundred yards range, and com menced a most effective fire with shrapnell shells, and con cluded with six-pounder shot. The Rocket Troop, under the command of Major Strang ways, formed at 400 yards range, and discharged two salvos of rockets, and several single rockets from Lieutenant Boxer's tubes, making excellent practice, with which the visitors ap peared highly, gratified. On the return of the visitors to the entrance of the marshes, General Millar's 10-inch gun, and Colonel Pundas's 6-inch gun were charged with solid shot, and fired at 1,200 yards range, with excellent effect, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel England. The Hon. John A. D. Bloomfield, her Majesty's Ambassa dor at the Court of St. Petenburgh, having joined the visitors, they left the Marshes, and proceeded to the Royal Arsenal, en tering by the east gate, on the Plumstead-road, and visited the extensive stores always in readiness for the use of the army and navy. Among the stores packed up, ready for foreign service, were numerous cases, containing saddles, pack, and every necessary, for 4 2-sinch howitzers, and other cases con taining, saddles, pack, &c., for three-pounder rockets, addressed from Wool es id: for New Zealand. After leaving the store department the Laboratory WU visited, and the visitors conducted over it by Lieutenant-Colonel Dan sey, C.B. The splendid models of fire-ships and instruments of warfare, &c., in this department, attracted great attention. In another branch of this department was witnessed the mak ing of balls by compressure, by a powerful machine, invented by Napier ; and in another the making of percussion caps, with which the visitors appeared much interested and highly pleased, when the whole processes were shown and explained to them. On leaving the Arsenal the royal and distinguished visitors entered their carriages and proceeded to the garrison, where they entered the mess-room, and partook of an elegant dejeune, at half-past three o'clock, r.ot., the band of the Royal Ar tillery playing several of the finest airs on the parade-ground in front of this elegant banquetting-rcom. At half-past four o'clock howitzer and mortar exercising were carried on, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, with Captain Lethbridge and Captain and Adjutant Forbes, and made very good practice. FLANDERS and H AMBTJRGH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JULY 17. The Journal des Flanders says, " Lamentable accounts have been received from the republic of Guatemala. A new revo lution has broken out, follovied by all the acts which an unci vilised people can suffer from such an event. The Rev. Fathers Walle. Berkman., and other priests, who embarked at Antwerp some months ago to take the direction of a college at Guatemala, have been dismissed by the chiefs of the republic, who have paid them for the expense of their voyage. It is ex pected that they will arrive in Belgium in a few days. BRUSSELS, JULY 19.—The Moniteur of this date', publishes a comparative review of the public revenue for the first six months of this year. The amount was— In 1845 F.35,891,716.17 In 1814 Increase in 1845 In several branches there %as a considerable increase, amounting in all to F.3,212,673.51 But a decrease in others of Their Majesties arrived yesterday evening. The English engineers arriued on the 15th at Dixmude, to fix definitely the line of the Central Railway of East Flanders. On Tuesday last the immense manufactory of Messrs. Motte, Rossu, and Co., was totally destroyed by fire, which broke out at two in the afternoon. The staircases having caught fire at the very beginning, the workmen took refuge in the upper stories, some jumping out of the windows. One of them broke his limbs, and is dead ; two others are severely wounded. Some workmen and women who were on the sixth story, surrounded and threatened on all sides by the flames, uttered the most pierc ing cries, and presented a lamentable spectacle as they syod at the windows while means were preparing to save them ; they were, however, all got down by means of ladders, ropes, &c., but several received contusions and wounds. The loss is esti mated at two millions and a half of francs (100,0001.). The manufactory was not insured at its full value. It gave employ ment to 500 workmen.

INFORMATION FOR OVERSEERS OF PARLIAMEN TARY BOROUGH PARISHES.—The paragraph which has been , nserted in the newspapers, to the effect that overseers must publish separate lists of persons entitled to be registered for the first time, does not apply to borough or city voters, but only to tho , e for counties. Overseers are especially requested to act strictly according to the very plain instructions contained in the precept they received from the the town clerk, on the 20th of June last, which is entirely correct, and by following which, to the letter, and nothing else, they cannot go wrong.

MARKET .NE WS.-(TlilS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.) The past week's arrivals of English Grain and Flour were on a very moderate scale, while those from Scotland were extremely limited. Of Irish and Foreign Oats the receipts were unusually large, amounting to upwards of 60,000 quar ters. Other articles came slowly to hand. Fresh up, very little English Wheat was received, either coastwise or by land carriage; hence the stands were poorly supplied with samples of both red and white. The accounts respecting the growing crops not being considered favourable, and the at tendance of buyers being rather numerous, the demand for Wheat of home produce was active at an advance on last Monday's quotations of from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the parcels offering were disposed of. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small. Holders remained very firm, and would not sell except at is to 2s per quarter more money. That advance, however, was not generally com plied with. For Wheat, under lock, there was more inquiry, at extreme rates. Scarcely any English Barley was on show, while the supply of Poreign was limited. Grinding parcels were held at more money, but other kinds were a slow inquiry. The Malt trade was in a very sluggish state, yet we can notice no alteration in value. 6 - ving to the large supply of Oats, tl:e Oat trade was heavy,_at a decline of Gd per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour went off at very full prices.

At Hull 190 Oxen and Cows, and at Southampton 12 Oxen have come to hand—the former from Rotterdam, the latter from Spain. In to-day's market we had on sale 130 Oxen and Cows from the above quarters. Generally speaking, the supply was of full average quality; indeed, scarcely any of the Cows were in any way out of condition. Nearly the whole were disposed of at somewhat drooping prices. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our various grazing dis tricts, were, on the whole, moderately good. Although there were many most useful animals amongst them, their general quality was not to say first rate. Owing, in some measure, to the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the Beef trade—as was the case on Friday last—ruled inactive, at a declince in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of 2d per 81b., the highest figure for the best Scots not ex ceeding 4s 2d per 81b., and at which a clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire we received 500 Scots, homebreds, and short horns ; from the North of England, 300 short horns, &c. ; from the western and midland counties, 400 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds ; from Scotland, 300 Scots; and from Ireland, 80 Beasts. Compared with those exhibited at corresponding periods last year, the number of Sheep were small, the falling off in them being about 7,000 head. Prime Old Downs commanded a steady demand, at fully last week's quotations. In other kinds only a moderate business was doing, at late rates. In the quality and condition of the Sheep a slight improve ment was apparent. The supply of Lambs were but moderate ; while the Lamb trade was tolerably steady, at previous figures, which ruled from 5s to 6s per 81b. For Calves, we had a very slow inquiry, and, in some instances, the Flees had a downward tendency. The Pork trade was very dull at last week's currencies.

Although reports have reached us from all parts of Kent and Sussex, stating that mould has made its appearance in some plantations, the Hop trade still continues dull, and prices are next to nominal, hence we have again omitted them in this report. _ BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS. The supplies of old Potatoes are still good for the time of year, but so little is doing that prices are almost nominal. New Potatoes are now coming freely to hand, and meet a brisk sale, at from 4s. 6d. to 9s. per cwt. The accounts respecting the Potato crop are highly satisfactory. WOOL IVIA.RICZT. The imports of Wool since Alor,day last have been again extensive, they having amounted to nearly 5,000 bales, 3,900 of which have arrived from our various colonies.

Privately very little is doing in Foreign Wools ; but English qualities are in good request, at late rates. TALLOW. During the past week there has been a fair business doing. The price on the spot has receded, whilst for the autumn the prices are maintained ; for the last three months, 40s, and for separate months, 40s 6d to 41s. Town Tallow is 39s 6d net cash. The letters received from St. Petersburgh this morning are up to the 12th inst. Prices were firm, and a moderate amount of business going on. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) John M' Carthy was brought up in custody on a warrant for feloniously receivinz one gold bracelet, of the value of 50/., the property of the Hon. Colonel Pepys. 7he prisoner was ap prehended this morning, on his being discharged from the new Ni'estminster Britiewell, where he had been imprisoned for fourteen days for drunken and disorderly conduct. It will be re,ollected that about three weeks ago a quantity of plate and the bracelet in question were discovered to have been stolen from Lord Cottenhasn's residence, No. 16, Park lane, and on the Bth instant a man offered for sale the bracelet, broken into pieces, at the shop of Mr. Louis Kel zor, of Tot tenham-court-road, dealer in gold and silver, i 'w ho. suspecting that it had not honestly been come by, told the man to wait in the shop, and went for a constable to give him into custody. The man, however, during his absence, decamped. In the course of the day a female, who has since given the name of Mary M'Carthy, and proves to be the prisoner's wife, went to Mr. Keyzor's shop, and asked for the money for the bracelet, on which she was given in charge, and being brought to this court has since stood remanded. The police tracing out that the male prisoner was i■ Westminster Bridewell, Mr. Keyser Rent there, and imme diately identified him as the person who had offered the bracelet for sale. The prisqners have for some considerable time past kept a petty marine store and rag shop in Peter -street, Soho. The police having obtained some clue to the parties who actually committed the robbery, there will, as a matter of course, be a further remand. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WES- TERN RAILWAY. BRISTOL, SATURDAY MORNING.—An accident occurred on the Great Western Railway yesterday, to the two o'clock down train, which it is marvellous did not lead to the most fatal re sults. The train, which was driven by the Mazeppa engine, left London at the ordinary time, and arrived at Bath without the occurrence of anything of an unusual character. After leaving Bath, it proceeded onwards towards Bristol, till on its arrival near Salford, when it ran into a timber waggon, which was overturned on the down rail. The shock, as may be ima gined, was a very severe one, and the passengers were thrown against each other violently. The utmost confusion and alarm for a while prevailed. We are happy, however, in being able to state that, with the exception of a gentleman named Ken nett, who was slightly cut over one of his temples, none of the passengers experienced any injury. The stoker was less fortu nate, as, in attempting to escape by jumping off the train, he was dashed with such violence against the ground as to occasion a fracture of his shoulder. He was immediately picked up, and medical assistance promptly sent tor. The cause of the accident is thus stated by the Company's officers at the Bristol station :—A limber of trucks, laden with timber, were sent up the line, as is the case two or three times a week, when, on their reaching Salford, a wheel of one of the carriages broke, by which means it ran off the rail, and turned over upon the down line. Almost upon the instant, and before any notice could be given, the two o'clock down train approached the spot at its usual speed. All possible means were used to arrest the notice of the engine-driver,w hot, upon perceiving what was a-head, signalled the guards , and put on the breaks. It was, however, too late to avoid the accident. truck. ' With the The progress of the train could not be stopped, and the engine and tender ran into the overturned timber exception of a second-class, which was much broken, none of or overturned. the carriages in the train were d f a o Tw a a g rded on to Bristol, and In formation of the occwencemwras Martin, proceeded to the spot the deputy-superintendent, with a train of empty and brought down the pas sengers, at about nine o'clock, t o t h e who arrived i carriages,o f i numerous friends and rel a ti ves. great comfort and relief o - - tis oity s uicinE B y A !=oLDIEn.—On Friday evening the 3d o f the Grenadier Guards wa s th rown i nto some x batta l ionen hearing the report of fire-a rms. O n rushing to xt by y nce the sound is sue d, the body of Ch ar l es S a - , of the sth company, was lyin g a t l ength on the floor, w ith his head nearly blown to at oms. I t appeared that the d e ceased had tied a cord to th e tr i gger of his musket, and dis charged it with the muzzle in his mouth. No reason can be as , igned for the rash act, other than that the poor fellow had promised to meet a few friends at, a public-house, but, being to , , late for evening parade, he was not allowed to iesve the barracks. On Saturday an inquest was held on the body by Mr. Wakley, when the jury returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed himself, but whether he was in a sound state of mind at the time he committed the deed there was no evi dence to show." ~~ IR ELAND. • THE COUNTY OF CAVAN PR''CL AIMED. DUBLIN, JULY 19.—The Dublin Gazette last night con tained the following pr , elamation, extei,ding the provisions of the Peace Preservation Act to the County of Cavan, %Ilia is declared to be in a state of disturbance, and requiring an in creased eitabli3hment of pelice:—• " By the Lord Lientenant std Council of Ireland. " A Proclamation. " Heytesbury, " Whereas by an Act passed in the sixth year of the reign of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, entitled' An Act to Consolidate the Laws relat . ng to the Corstabulary Force in Ireland,' it is atnong,t other things enacted, that it shall and may be lawful to and tor the Lord Lieutenant, or oti'er chief governor or governors of Ireland, by the advice of the Privy Courted in Ireland, to declare by proclamation. that an) c,unty, county of a city, or county of a town in Ireland, or any barony or baronies, half barony or half baronies in any county at. large, or any district of leas extent than any barony or half barony to be therein specified, is or are in a sate f disturbance, and re quires or require an additional establishment of police : " And whereas it hath suffic'enly appeared to us that the county of Cavan is in a state of disturbance, and requires an addit.onal establiAmert of police.

There is in the same Gazette another proclamation, direct ing that additional police shall be placed in three or four ba ronies of the county. This proceeding the Lord Lieutenant is enabled to adopt by the existing law ; which, if impartially and vigorously enforced, as it had been by the Whigs, will speedily restore tranquillity in the district. The Tory magistrates of Cavan, in their memorial, intimated to the Lord Lieutenant that they would not be satisfied with the mere " proclaiming of the county ;" they require martial law. But it is well known that his Excellency is opposed to such extreme measures, and Mr. Justice Jackson, in his recent charge to the Leitrim grand jury. stated it as his conviction, that the ordinary law is quite sufficient. If the magistrates of Cavan cordially co••operate with the Government, their munty would soon be freed from the violence and excitement produced by the Orangemen as well as the " Molly Maguires." 'I here is now a strong military force in Cavan and the other disturbed counties, and troops are regularly encamped at Drum shambo, in the county of Leitrim. VERDICT AGAINST THE POLICE IN CAVAN. The inquest on the body of Thomas Tierney, shot by the police at Lavey, comity of Cavan, on the night of the 12th of July, terminated on Wednesday evening. The deceased, a young man, aged 20, was the only son and sole support of s widowed mother. The evidence went to show that no provo cation whatever had been given for the firing ; and the jury, composed of Protestants and Roman Catholics, unanimously delivered the following verdict, which is virtually one for mur der :—" That deceased, Thomas Tierney, came by his death on the night of Saturday, the 12th of July instant, in the townland of Levey, in the parish of Levey, and county of Cavan, in consequence of a gun-shot wound inflicted by Win. Farmer, constable in the constabulary, and it does not appear there was a provocation given." The correspondent of the Dublin Evening Post says— " The event gave very great satisfaction to the friends of the deceased, and also to a large concourse of country people who were present, and will tend more to restore peace to this part of the country than additional police or threatened coercion. " The Coroner immediately issued his warrant for the arrest of constable Farmer for murder. It is rumoured here to-day that Farmer, instead of being sent to gaol like any other per son, is to be kept in the police barrack until the Government order him to be bailed. "It behoves the Government not to give the people any cause to think that a constable, secured of a serious 'rime, will be treated differently from one of themselves under similar cir. cumstances." ORANGE PROCESSIONS—INQUEST AT AR NIA G H. THURSDAY, JULY 17.—The Coroner took his seat this morning at nine o'clock._ William Kelly examined-1 am sub-inspector of police. Early on the mornirg of th e 12th J u ly,, a b ou t e l even o clock, I think, being informed that some Orangemen had come into Armagh, I employed Coulson, a policeman, to watch them, in order to tell me when any number should assem ble. Coulson was a sort of running orderly. Having been informed by him that a party were assembling at Barrack hill, and were preparing for a movement, I went over, being at that time in the Court-house, to Mr. Paton, the magistrate for the county Armagh. He was sitting in a grand jury-room. I said to him, " Sir, the Orangemen are assembling, and I think it would be well if you would turn out the troops." He shook his head, saying, " Oh, there is no occasion," or words to tLat direct effect. Sir George Molyneux was sitting in the window near him. I can't say which I heard. I stepped back and said, " Oh, very well, Sir." I said this with marked emphasis and gesture, intend ing that he should mark the consequences. I had stepped backwards a pace or two in the act of returning, when ha turned round and said, " Mr. Kelly, are there many of them ? are they moving" I think these were the words he used. Why," I replied, they are actually moving." " Oh, then," said he, "go into the secretary's office, and get me a sheet of paper." I asked Mr. Anderson (county inspector) to get a sheet of paper for me, as I must fly off immediately and get out my men, telling him at the time the object of it. Seeing that Mr. Anderson did not know the direction of the secre tary's office, I went to get the paper and two pens m) self, fearing the consequences of delay. I got the paper and pens from Mr. Davison, I think. Mr. Paton was at the dour of the jury-room, into which he walked leisurely. I saw him head the paper with the date, and the words " City of Armagh." I said I could not wait for it, and added, " Sir, 1 must be off to my men, and I'll leave one of my men to wait for it." I went down stairs. I left one of my men (Daly) to wait for the document ; I ran down stairs to College-street, and up to English-street, and saw an Orange precession pass, with banners and music. I had not at that time made any calculation of the number; seeing Head-con stable Lodge at the corner, I took him with me to watch the movements of the procession. I took him with me to Ban brook-hill, being in the direction of Loughgall. Mr. Anderson and a party of police were immediately in the rear of the whole party ; having seen them almost out of sight unmolested, clear of that part of the town, so far as I could see the banners waving, Mr. Anderson gave orders to countermarch to the barracks. I saw two of the party, at that early hour of the day, very drunk. One of them was Mr. Sling—he is very seldom sober. I don't know the second one. Sling had an Orange sash. Perhaps Head -constable Lodge does, as I pointed him out to him, and I said, " I should not wonder if something happens, bye-and-by, from that fellow's being drunk." Head constable Lodge remarked that he feared something might happen when those persons returned in the evening, to which I replied, that all we had to do with our small party was closely to watch their movements ; there were not more than eight dia. posable men at the time, the rest being employed at the Crown solicitor's office, as witnesses, to be examined, preparatory to the assizes. I stationed a man at the same office to give me word whenever he heard a drum in the distance ; in the course of the day, I asked Mr. Robinson, J.P. if anything happened in the course of the evening with regard to the Orange pro cession, where and when I could have his services. He re plied, " Oh, you shall have my services—you'll most likely find me at my house." At the same time he deprecated or found fault with it. " 1 have made it a matter of neck or nothing with some of my tenants, if they cone in to join this enjoyment," and these were the words Mr. Robinson used, I think. It was before I saw Mr. Paton that I spoke to Mr. Robinson. The witness went on to say that Laving then heard drums in the direction of Banbrook, he proceeded in that direction. Saw the Orangemen defiling at the head of Mill-street. Did all in his power to induce the Orangemen to go back. Saw one of the Orange party with a long pistol, firing and resting the pistol on his knee. He took deliberate and murderous aim. Thinks there were sixty shots fired. Witness here expressed a wish that Mr. Barnes had renderd him the assistance he said he did. He caught hold of Mr. Barnes by the breast and implored him, for God's sake, three or four times, to go for a magi-trate, but he did not go. On his (witness's) sacred oath, he believed sw:h harm would not have been done if he had gone. Mr. Anderson, county inspector, was the next witness; but his evidence was not material. Dr. Colvan deposed that he examined the deceased, and found that he had received a gun-shot wound in the right groin, from the effects of which he died. A woman, named 111 . 1(enn, deposed that she saw an Orange. man, named Rice, fire the fatal shot. At half-past, &even e'elock the public were excluded from the room. The jury remained closeted until about ten minutes to twelve o'clock, when they unanimously agreed to the following verdict :—" That on the 12th of July last, at Thomas street, in the city of Armagh, a party of Orangemen, to the number of 150, were matching in procession with banners and music, and armed with pistols and swords, and that divers persons com prising that procession (that is to say, 31 Orangemen, whose names are set forth on the face of the verdict), aided and as sisted by a man unknown to the jury, made an assault on the peraon of John Boyle, since deceased ; and that the aforesaid person did, then and there, in Thomas -street, as aforesaid, inflict on him, John Boyle, a gun-shat wound, which caused his death, and of which he died."
