The Earl of RIPON brought in a Bill to amend the law relating to Indian appeals. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then directed their Lordships' attention to the scene which had taken place in the chapel of Newgate, on the occasion of the con demned sermon on Sunday last, and animadverted in strong terms on the impropriety of making these con demned sermons a spectacle to which the public were to be admitted by tickets. Lord BROUGHAM concurred in the observations of the Noble Marquis, and said that the City of London endan gered its Charter by permitting these scenes to take place. Lord STANLEY promised to communicate with the Home Secretary on the subject, and assured the House that the Government would do all in its power to put an end to such scenes. The Duke of RICHMOND suggested that the attend ance of strangers at the chapel of Newgate should be prohibited by Act of Parliament. Lord DENMAN considered the question one of the greatest importance, and thought that the chaplain had exceeded his duty in adverting to the crime with which one of the prisoners who bad not yet been tried stood charged. If one of the spectators present should after wards happen to be on the jury, such conduct might produce an undue prejudice in his mind. Lord CAMPBELL thought if the parties who thus made an exhibition of criminals were indicted, they might be punished. Lord REDESDALE adverted to the communication which had been made to HoCRER in his last moments that the reporters were present and to his reply, which being interpreted meant that if he had been properly warned, he would have got up another scene. Certain railway returns were ordered on the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE. Tho Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at a Quarter before Four. Colonel AUSTIN toek the oaths and his seat for West Kent. On the motion of Sir G. CLERK, the documents which had been laid before the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade were ordered to be referred to the dif&- rent Committees on Railway Bills. In reply to Mr. COLLETT, it was stated by Mr. HOPE that neither the Bishop of COLOMBO nor the Bishop of NEW BRUNSWICK was paid by the Government of this country. A desultory conversation took place on the subject of our commercial relations with the Brazils ; in the course of which Sir R. PEEL said that he had before bim a document of the Brazilian Government, in the course of which it was stated that all British subjects in that coun try should be restored to the fullest enjoyment of all their privileges. On the Order of the Day being read for bringing up the Report on the Maynooth Endowment Bill, Mr. LAW moved that the Report be received that day six months. This motion gave rise to a long debate, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. V. Smith, Lord Norreys, Lord Dalmeney, Sir C. Douglas, Mr, Hawes, Mr. Hindley, Mr. Round, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Borthwick, Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Pa ingle, Mr. M. O'Connell, Sir R. Peel, Lord Worsley, and Mr. T. Duncombe, and ultimately the House divided, when there appeared, fur the motion, 232; against it, 119 ; majority, 113. The report was then received, and the House ad journed at a Quarter to One o'clock. Another division has taken place on the Maynooth grant, and the majority, as at the first, is still as large as the friends of liberty, and justice, and charity, could desire. In a House, consisting of 355 Members, 232 voted for the grant, and only 119 against it, leaving the large majority of 113. Oxford and Cambridge have thus tried their strength, and they have been signally defeated. But we do these learned bodies injustice, for they have not petitioned against the Bill, nor in any way moved against the Bill—they have, on the contrary, rejected all solicitations for that purpose; but still the bigoted Tories, who represent them, have per severed in their preposterous career, and thereby fixed a stigma upon our seats of learning, which in this instance they little deserve. Indeed, their conduct in the whole affair, which has raised such a fierce outcry, is highly commendable. They have adhered to the purposes for which they were instituted—the in struction of youth in elegant literature, arts, and sciences —in labours, the object of which is to civilise the human mind, and prevent Englishmen from degrading themselves like barbarians, by indulging in national antipathies and wicked religious animosities. The' Church of England, we rejoice to say, has at last s e h o v i l l r et the has same been Christian followed by and it another Church —th e Ch urc h , too, that that has in flicted incalculable woes on Ireland. There has been no opposition in that quarter. On the contrary, many eespecially the of the heads of the E s t a bli s h ment, but morn rectors a e t c i t o o n r andbav have curates,givento the who live measure ato og thec theirpopu lation, full and regard it as the very b es t measure that could adhesion de vised for allaying the irritati on th a t b as so long be pre vailed, and absolutely destroyed e ver y i n fl uence that Protestant religion could by any chance have exercised the isd in a country abounding - with Roman Catholics. We are, therefore, inclined, looking at all these demonstrati ons of the Established Church and Universities in both countries, to attribute the opposition raised by Sir ROBERT INGLis and Mr. LAW to personal and individual motives, and it is gratifying thus to find that men who can oppose such a just and necessary measure have so very little influence in the community, and also have been so thoroughly de feated even with a host at their back who, by the way, have not one feeling in common with the representatives of the two national Universities. Sir ROBERT INGLIS conducted himself with his usual ability, which is re spectable, but Mr. LAW added no honour to his former displays in Parliament. When making the first speech against the measure, he was repeatedly interrupted for reading it. When he, at last, announced his motion, no one could understand it, and he finally adopted the usual phrase, that the Bill " be read a second time that day six months." In this he has been triumphantly defeated, and we therefore trust that after such fair trials this will be the last serious contest on the question. At all events, whatever may happen, Sir ROBERT PEEL is prepared to persevere with unabating zeal in the good cause, alike regardless of the reproaches of bigoted friends and the taunts of political enemies. His speech last evening was worthy of a Minister of the Crown, and on no former occasion that we remember did he so completely satisfy every reasonable mind, that in 1829 he had no alternative but to rcmai❑ in office and fight with WEL LINGTON in putting down all those bigoted and blind par tizans who would have risked a civil war in Ireland, under the hypocritical pretence of maintaining the blessings of the Established Church. The most bitter opponents of the measure, it is well known, were GEORGE IV. (though his opposition was carried on underhand) and his Royal Highness—the chief of the rebellious Orange Club—now his Majesty of HANOVER. It is a singular feature certainly in this contest that the two great bulwarks of Protestantism at that time were the KING and the Duke of CUMBERLAND. We wish the Church of Eng land joy of such saints. Sir ROBERT PEEL at that time acted a wise part—he set the Court and the Church at defiance, and triumphed over intolerance and bigotry. He is pursuing a much more easy course now, for the Court is fully with him. The Church, at all events, is quiescent, and he has mainly to contend against Sir ROBERT INGLIS and Mr. LAW, supported by only a very small section of Tories, and resting almost entirely on men whom they more cordially hate than Catholics or MahomedaLs. The question in fact is settled, but come what may Sir ROBERT PEEL will fight in so just a cause to the last, either as a chief or a subordinate officer. The concluding part of his speech last night, which is admir able, leaves no doubt on the subject, and the Irish may trust to his promise. His words were:—" I will not say that I was not prepared for the opposition which this measure has met with from the Dissenters ; but I will say this, that much as I re spect the expression of public feeling upon all subjects, so far from deterring me upon this, it will only tend as an additional impulse to me to proceed. Ido not say this in defiance of any party, but to prove to the Roman Ca tholics of Ireland that the Government of this country are prepared to adhere to their measures, which are dictated by none other than a kindly feeling. But of this I will give them the assurance—that, in office or out of office, that which I have undertaken to do I will, to the utmost of my power, fulfil ; it may be short of their expecta tions, but they never shall have cause to charge me with abandoning their interest--which I will advance to the extent to which I feel, consistently with my public duty, I can promote it." Madrid journals of the 21st instant have been re ceived. On that day a renewed discussion took place on the proposition of Senor LLORENTE for a reduction of the expenses of the coast-guard. The measure was op posed by the Ministers of Marine and Finance, and, on a division, rejected by a majority of 64 to 7. The Minister of the Interior presented a Bill to raise a loan of 15,000,000 reals for the construction of canals and roads. The Three per Cents. closed at 35 3-16 for cash, and 35 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 25a at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies have rejected by a large majority the motion of M. DozoN, for the repres sion of duelling by a special law. M. DUPIN considered the present enactments sufficient, and the Minister of Justice, M. MARTIN DU NORD, took the same view. These laws, he said, from experience, had been found to work well. Previous to the alteration of the law, which took place in 1837, duels were more than three times more frequent than since that period. In 1827 the number of persons killed in duels amounted to nineteen, in 1828 to twenty-nine, in 1829 to thirteen, in 1830 to twenty, in 1831 to twenty-five, in 1832 to twenty-eight, in 1833 to thirty-two, and in 1834 to twenty-three. In 1837 the Conrt of Cessation adopted a new system of jurisprudence in respect to duels, which was confirmed by the Legislature, and since then the number of deaths was comparatively small. In 1839 six duels were fatal, in 1840 three, in 1841 six, in 1842 seven, and in 1843 six. A petition was presented by M. CREMIEUX from Corsica, praying for the repeal of the law passed in 1832, whereby the law of 1816, condemning the &NA PARTE family to exile, was confirmed, and the elder branch of the BOURBON dynasty was also banished from France. M. CREMIEUX supported the prayer of the petitioners, but was willing to except from this measure of lenity the Duke of BORDEAUX, the Duchess of BERRY, and Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON. The petition was referred to the President of the Council and the Minister of the Interior. We rejoice to find that the Committee of the Chamber appointed to examine the Colonial Bill, passed by the Peers in favour of the slaves, had approved of the principles of the 8.11 by a majority of eight to one. The cause of the unfortunate slave is now not only popular with the public, but finds sympathy in the Chambers, and France, we trust, will soon bring to completion the grant of eman cipation. The Moniteur publishes the report of the Committee upon arming the fortifications of Paris. The total num ber of cannon amounts to 2,208, and of these 982 arc to be placed on 16 forts, each fort so constructed as to be capable of maintaining itself against an enemy, and the total armament of the continued wall is reckoned at 1,226 guns. There are besides 50 Paixhans mortars, independent of wall pieces and muskets. The whole of the arms at present are to be deposited at Bourges. The Com mittee, however, are opposed to this plan, as they con sider the KING ought not to be fettered in the matter. The KING, with the advice of his Ministers, has the right of declaring war, and he should therefore not be prevented from making such preparations as he may judge necessary. These Jiff( rrnt points, however, have yet to be settled by the Chamber, and the discussion on the subject is anticipated with much interest. The report thus concludes . " It is a fact that war in future will be transferred to the frontiers, that it must necessarily become methodical and slow, instead of a war of invasion, as it was formerly, and that the fortified towns of France, recovering their regular attributes, will no longer be reduced to see their patriotic efforts annihilated, or rendered impotent. This, it cannot be too often repeated, is the principal object of the fortifi cations of Paris. But, in order that this object may be ac complished, the fortifications must be completed by bei ng armed. For in vain you will think yourselves secure of the defence of other parts of the territory if the capital remain without means of defence, and if it be again exposed to all the disasters of which the invasions of 1814 and 1815 have left us the cruel recollection, Regarded in a political point of view, the fortifications of Paris are not of less importance. You have ever wished, gentlemen, and with good reason, t• consider the fortifications of Paris as a work of peace tOr the present and for the future, by attributing to them a preventive character. That, in fact, is one of their prin cipal merits, because it is impossible that foreign Cabinets will not consider them as a considerable weight in the balance of their determinations. If you wish that it should be so you will not hesitate to terminate completely this great enterprise. The defensive resources of nations are no longer a mystery for any, and if it could exist in any country it could not be under a representative government, which, by its form and publicity of discussion, demonstrate to fercigners, as well as to the country _itself, ,the strength and weakness of its position. Is it not evident that if we constructed fortifications, without given them arins dispos able at a fixed period, we should, in reality, have created but a dead mass, without soul or without life, and for that reason condemned to impotency? You would not wish, gen tlemen, that a nation like France should be accused of incon sistency ; and it could not enter into the mind of any friend of his country to expose it to the ridicule of Europe and of all rational men." Accounts from Lucerne state that a treaty was con cluded at that place, on the 23d instant, between the Commissioners of the canton of Lucerne and those of Berne, Soleure, Argau, and Bale country, for the release of the prisoners belonging to the latter cantons. Ac cording to its provisions, the said cantons are to pay together an indemnity of 350,000 francs—of which Berne is to pay 70,000 francs, Soleure, 20,000 francs, Bale country, 35,000 francs, Argau, 20,600 francs, and the other cantons 25,000 francs. The contracting parties also hope that the Diet will pay 130,000 francs for the calling out of the troops, in which case Lucerne will altogether receive near 500,000 franci. In return, Lucerne promises to issue a complete amnesty to all the prisoners not belonging to that canton. The French Three per Cents. were done at TORTONI'S, on Sunday, at 85f. 60c.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. crrY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yester day. Sales, 5,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation. The receipts of Cotton at the American shipping ports up to the date of the accounts, were 30,000 bales less than in 1843, the great cotton-crop year, and 330,000 more than up to the same period of 1844. Shares rather improved, and prices were somewhat higher.

The state of affairs in the Rio Plate excites much interest, and from all we hear, it is the prevalent opinion, that the contest is as filer as ever from coming to a close. The trade accounts from New York read tolerably well, though money seems to have been in same request. It is stated that the reduced importations, and the falling off in the revenue from Customs, has diminished the Government deposits in the Government banks, limited their resources, and restricted their ability to extend favours to the stock speculators of Wall -street. Last year the Government banks of this and all the other large cities were filled with deposits belonging to the United States Treasury; large loans were made to stock operators ; the Stock market became highly inflated, and the wildest excitement raged for a time in Wall-street. The times are now changed : the Government Banks have been nearly stripped of the deposits, the surplus revenue is much reduced, the Stock market is very much depressed, the rate of interest nearly double, and quotations for Stocks are daily sinking. This is conclusive evidence of the agency of these Banks in the operations of the Stock market, and shows that they have an immense influence on prices of fancy, and all other kinds of stocks; that, as they afford facilities to speculators the market rises, and as they withdraw them prices decline. If the money that otherwise might be turned to stock speculations finds its way into trading channels, we fancy there will be no cause for regret, Advices from Antwerp state that the negotiations for a treaty between Belgium and Brazil had been retarded rather an ominous word in reference to State matters, and almost synonymous, we apprehend, with entire shelving. The public securities have been fluctuating to-day, and without much business doing. Consols for present transfer have been marked 99 to 98%, and for account 99 to 98%. Exchequer-bills have been done at 58s. to 60s. premium. Bank Stock has realised 209%, and India Stock 278. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 101 to 100 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents. 98 to 97 3 / 4 . The large money purchase of Consols made yesterday afternoon has had, therefore, but little effect on the market. The Foreign Stocks look firm but there is very little in clination to speculate in them. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 30% and the Three per Cents. about 41, both being almost nominal. Portuguese Converted Stock has been 675. to 68s. The finance agency here has advertised the recep tion of the existing Bonds in exchange fur those bearing Four per Cent. Mexi can St o ck has been firm at 38 to 4. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 97%. The Railway Share Market is quiet to-day on account of the settlement, and prices seem generally rather firmer.

EXCHEQ UER.-(THIS DAY.) TRIAL AT BAR.-THE GREAT DISTILLERY CASE. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GEORGE SMITH, The Court was more than usually crowded this morning, in con sequence of the general expectation that Mr. Fitzroy Kelly would open the defence, and so it proved, for when the Judges took their seats on the bench at ten o'clock, and the names of the jury were called over, Mr. F. KELLY rose and said, that the time had at last arrived when it became his duty and his privilege to address them en be half of Mr. George Smith, and he felt that it was quite unneces sary for him to entreat their earnest attention to the circumstances of the case which he would have to lay before them, because from the beginning of that most anxious inquiry, he had witnessed the attention which they had bestowed on every part of it. But he had to ask that also which was more diffi cult for them to give. He had to ask them most earnestly to discharge altogether from their minds, or at least to endeavour to suspend their judgment on the charges which bad been advanced by his Learned Friend the Solicitor- General, while he endeavoured to meet those charges on the part of the defendant, by showing them (and he would venture to pledge himself to show them) that the statements of his Learned Friend the Solicitor. General were from beginning to end most de lusive and most unsatisfactory. He would proceed to meet the charge against Mr. Smith, the charge that he and his brother had long carried on a systematic and gigantic fraud upon the Government and upon the fair trader. He would show them that those gentlemen were not guilty of this gigantic fraud at all, that they were entirely guiltless of any intention to commit this fraud on the fair trader or on the State, and that they carried on their business in a fair and lawful way ; and he thought that at last this very grave case, this gigantic fraud, would resolve itself into a mere question of law, a question which they would be of opinion ought never to have been raised at all. Without further consuming their time by opening observations, and, once more, after earnestly be seeching them to suspend their judgments—to forget, if possible, the proceedings of the Crown, and the solemn charge of systematic and gigantic fraud brought forward by his Learned Friend, he would, in as few, and plain, and simple words, as he c ,uld, proceed to put into their possession the real history of the case, and the circumstances under which that series of prosecutions had been in stituted against Mr. Smith. Some seventy years ago, the vast space of ground which they ( the jury) had seen was covered with build ings little differing from those which were now upon its surface. The buildings then constituted a distillery and rootirytoz-house. and from that time to the present, and, perhaps, from an earlier period, the two trades, or manufactures, of distiller and rectifier, had been carried on in those premises. It was now some forty years, or perhaps half a century ago, since the father of the present defendant became proprietor of this large concern. He was on those premises both distiller and rectifier, carrying on both trades in that place, and with the utensils necessary for that pur pose. At that time, and till the year 1817, to which he would require to call their particular attention, not only were both trades carried on, but the premises were open to each other. There was then no regulation as at present against carrying on a distillery and rectifying-house on the same premises, and, consequently, where the jury would now observe a wall built up completely shutting out the rectifying.house from the distillery, was then furnished with doors and passages, so that spirits, or anything else of whatever kind, might be conveyed from the one work to the other. It was not till 1817 that any change took place in the law. The supply . of water to which he would now solicit their attention, the supply of water for the last seventy years, or from the very earliest period that any one living could remember, bad been exactly the same as at present. Both the distillery and the rectifying.house required a constant supply of vast quantities of water, and they were supplied in the way he was about to describe to them. (The Learned Coun. sel then explained, by reference to a magnificent model of the buildings in question, which fully occupied the space between the bar and the bench, the positions he wished to establish.) The very large tank— (one en the roof of the distillery) which they had seen, and which now constituted the principal reservoir, had only beers built within the last year; but there had always been two large reservoirs containing many scores of thousands of gallons, supplied from the Waterworks Com pany, which distributed, by means of numerous pipes, water to all parts of, not the distillery alone, but the rectifying_ house also. Such had been the mode of ancient supply. Such had been the supply since. Such'was was the supply now. In 1817, or a little before that time, the Government and the Board of Excise seemed to have thought it expedient to prevent, as far as might be, the contiguity of distilleries and rectifying-houses. It was thought, and he (Mr. Kelly) did not say that it was not a wise and prudent thought—it was thought that from the peculiar nature of these premises, and from the facilities given to the transmission of spirits from the distillery to the rectifying_ house, from different circumstances relating to the law, and from the necessity for the constant supervision orofficers of Excise—it was thought that this connexion between the various parts of the premises might lead to the perpetration of fraud ; and here he would remark that the Board of Excise in getting this alteration effected in the law had not so much reference to the distillers throughout the country as to these very premises occupied by Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith's pre mises were the only premises of any magnitude in Great Britain in which the trades of distiller and rectifier were carried on. It was, therefore, with a view toeffect some regulation in regard to this large establishment, that the alteration in the law was made. On this occasion many communications had passed between Mr. Smith and the Board of Excise solicitor, the late Mr. Carr, relative to the putting an end altogether to the union of the trades. It was first proposed to purchase the rectifying-house from Mr. Smith, and he was equally well disposed to part with it, and on receipt of a reasonable compensa tion to carry on the business of a distiller alone. The price he de. manded, however, for the resignation of this trade was deemed too high, and accordingly the treaty was broken off, and Mr. Smith continued to carry on bells trades as before; and then, with a view to prevent the suspicious which might arise of fraud, from the con tiguity of these buildings, it was thought proper to make it the subject of a legislative enactment. Explanations took place on this subject between Mr. Smith and the Doard of Excise, and it was at length arranged that a wall should be built up, effectually separating the distillery from the rectifying-house, so that all spirits and other commodities should be obliged to be conveyed from the one work to the other in a cart or waggon by the public highway. It was necessary, however, that water in large quantities should be always present in the rec- tifying-house, and at all levels, and more particularly was large quantities of water wanted to be poured down upon the worm ; and, for that purpose, a trough, in all respects the same as that at present in use, was required for this very pur pose of pouring down large quantities of water upon the worm, and for supplying other parts of the rectifying-house. Formerly, there were two troughs upon the premises, but now only one was found necessary. With regard to the rest of the premises, the supply took place in this way. (The Learned Counsel agaid directed the attention of the jury to the model of the premises, in order that they might understand them,) The pipes which supplied the rectifying house formerly went in a transverse direction. but in 1814, for some reason or other not very material to that inquiry, instead of cutting off the corner in the way he had pointed out upon the plan, it was, owing to the alterations upon the pre mises, continued along in this way. The Learned Counsel ex plained the course taken by the water.pipes, but the reader could not possibly understand it without a reference to the model of the premises. This mode of supplying the distillery and the rectifying house was perfectly well known to all the Excise-officers who were on thity on the premises, and that mode was continued to the year 1836, and here, for the first time, he would refer to the statement made by his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General, and would ask the jury whether they would have imagined that this mode of supplying the distillery and the other works, was of such ancient date, when they heard his Learned Friend say, in his opening address, that in the year 1836, the brothers Smith secretly and clandestinely laid down certain pipes, and made a communication between those distinct houses, under the pretext of conveying water, but really for the purpose of conveying spirits. He would here stato to them, that he should call Mr. James Salith as a witness, and he would, after describing the premises, and the mode by which water was sup plied, state upon oath that he was not aware that spirits could be transmitted in this way, until he saw the Excise-officers prove, with the aid of sundry little contrivances of their own, that it was physically possible to do so. The Learned Counsel then re ferred to the informations filed by the Crown, and to the amount of penalties claimed, namely, 150,0001., which, with 150,000/. seized, and which would, in the event of an unfavourable ver dict, be confiscated, make altogether some 300,000/. ; and who were the parties interested in this conviction ? A number of Ex cise -officers, who would reap by the ruin of the Messrs. Smiths a moiety of the penalties, to men in their rank a considerable fortune. The charges on the informations of the Crown were divided into three, namely, the product of the wash and of the actual spirit, the holes on the top of the receiver, and the falsification of the drip. He would take the liberty of directing their attention to the fact of those charges. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to show, by certain returns of the charg e s i n 1843 and 1844, that no relianc e was to be placed upon the exaggerated statements made by the Excise-officers with reference to the watche periods of distillation referred to so frequently in the evidence of the witnesses Drink water and Batten.. The Learned Gentleman then went through that part of the evi dence which related to watched and unwatched periods, from which he contended it was plain that the defendants conducted their business with equal fairness, whether they were watched or not. In truth, the watching made no difference in the actual results as ascertained by the Excise themselves. He had, then, without troubling the jury too much with figures to demonstrate, from the evidence of the Excise-officers themselves, that there was no foundation for this charge, that the produce was greater in the unwatched periods, and that the excess had been made away with. He submitted that the charge in this re spect had entirely failed, and that it ought never to have been brought forward. It had been kept back for the purpose of pre judicing the more important charge relating to the pipe. He now came to ai.other point of the case, with which he would not detain them long. It was very important, although it it.. volved no question of money —as it gravely affected the cha racter of Mr. G. Smith. It related to the holes found in the top of the receiver. —(The Learned Gentleman then read an extract from the speech of the Solicitor-General, to show that the prose cution had produced that charge in such a menner as to convey an imputation of fraud upon Mr. George Smith, so as to prejudice the minds of the jury in respect to the other charges.) It was said that Mr. Smith remarked, when the hole was discovered, that it explained an anonymous letter which he had received; and it was asked, on the other hand, why did not Mr. Smith produce the letter if he had received one. The auswer to that was, that the discovery of the hole was made in 1843, and it was now brought forward, fur the first time, in the middle of 1845, • for the purpose of throwing additional prejudice into the scale, and weighing down the defendant's case. Besides the fact was, that Mr. Smith did at the time produce the letter, and it was admitted in the evidence that the letter referred to some pilfering of spirits by his men. This very matter of the holegave occasion for the reflection, how little reliance could be placed upon the evidence of those men, who were examined upon oath, with such grave temptations before their eyes, as the witnesses for the Crown in this case. Thus the officer Drinkwater swore that he had examined the receiver in August, 1843, and that the hole did not exist there at that time, and that it must have been made between that time and the December following, when it was discovered by Batten. Now he (Mr. Kelly) would prove that the hole was made in 1824. The top of the receiver was made in that year by a person named Florence Young, out of materials furnished by Mr. Smith. The hole was made to receive the suction pipe, but it was found not to be large enough for the purpose, and another was made—this first one being covered with boards, which were found by the officer carefully nailed down. These were nailed down in 1824, and they were now so rotten they could scarcely be held. (The production of the boards created a strong sensation, in which the jury evidently shared.) (The Learned Gentleman had not concluded when our report left.) CLERKENWELL.--(T HIS DAY.) James Cassidy was charged with assaulting Anne Eve. The complainant, who had a wound over her right eye, and whose shawl was stained with blood, deposed that she was standing in the Crown public-house, in Golden-lane, St. Luke's, on the previous night, when the prisoner came in, and without having received the slighte , t provocation, struck her so violent a blow as to cause the blood to flow profusely from the wound then visible. She had never seen the man before.—He was fined ss. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY. Group I)D. The adjourned Committee met this morning at twelve, and shortly afterwards proceeded with the further consideration of the im portant schemes comprised in this group. Mr. Parker in the chair. Some preliminary business, not of public interest, having been transacted, the examination of witnesses was proceeded with. Mr. COCKBURN called Mr. Mitchell, engineer, as the first wit ness. He atated he had been engaged for upwards of six months, with twenty-two assistants, taking an account of the traffic. The number of • passengers who travelled at present by the road, in gigs, carriages, &c., amounted to nearly five hundred thousand ; from these it was expected to realise an income of 27,5471. 17s. Bd., which, being doubled accord:rig to Parliamentary usage on railway matters, would yield a total of 55,0951. 15s. 4d. The average rate per mile at which each pas senger would be conveyed was calculated at I id. The income expected to be realised from the con"eyance of general goods amounted to about 18,000/. ; coals would realise an income of nearly 9,000/. ; lime, 1,534/. ; cattle, 5,3001., and mails and parcels, taken altogether, would give a further result of 3,0001. The total income arising from all these items, and the conveyance of passengers, would amount in round numbers to nearly 94,900/. The country through which it was proposed to carry the line abounded in mineral waters, and as celebrated for its beautiful scenery, and during the summer time was a great resort for invalids and others wishing the benefit of a change of air. It was calculated the number of passengers by the railway during the fine months of the year would be nearly doubled. Mr. Geddes, managing partner of a coal mine near Stirling, was then called and examined upon the item of coals, but his evidence was only of local importance and corroboratory of what had been previously stated. Group X. The Committee on this group re-assembled this morning in room No. 8, which is a larger and more convenient room than the one in which the Committee assembled yesterday. Of the proceedings in the Committee yesterday, of course, we know nothing, the reporters having been excluded. At the sitting of the Committee this morning Captain Gossett made arrangements for the accommodation of the reporters. EXCLUSION OF THE REPORTERS YESTERDAY. _ . _ Shortly after the Committee assembled this morning they re tired and remained in consultation with Mr. Creed, the Commi►tee Clerk, for about ten minutes. On their return into the Committee room, Lord COURTENAY (the Chairman) addressing the assembled crowd in the body of the room, said—l am requested Try the Committee, before we go in to the business of the day, to say that, having observed certain paragraphs in the morning newspapers which lead us to think that some misconception existed as to the authority under which Mr. Creed acted, in the steps he took in reference to clearing the room yesterday, without going si all into the subject, we thrice it due to our Committee Clerk to state that whatever steps he took were in pursuance of the express directions of the members of the Committee as a whole, and that they were such as the Committee deemed necessary yesterday, in consequence of the exceedingly crowded state of the room, and many of those having business here being seriously inconvenienced. This of course makes the matter worse. The Chairman has ac. knowledged that he excluded the press from the room, as they had no business there, for this is the natural and only inference to be drawn from the concluding sentence of the Chairman's explanation this morning. With respect to his Lordship's declaration that the room was crowded to the inconvenience of persons hav ing business there, we can only say, that the places which had been occupied by the reporters at the sitting of the Committee remained unoccupied after they had left them. The room, after the second clearance, was not incon veniently crowded, but was capable of holding at least fifty persons more than it then contained. The manner of Creed was most of fetish, e, and lie suggested the clearing of the room, by saying to Lord Courtenay, " I think, my Lord, you had better clear the room," to which Lord Courtenay nodded assent. Mr. Sergeant WRANWIAM applied for a Speaker's warrant to compel the attendance of a person named Harvey, who had re fused to attend before the Committee. —Ordered. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee would take that opportunity of stating that as at present advised they did not mean to sit on Saturday. In the event of the investigation not terminating before Whitsuntide, they meant to adjourn from the Friday in the week precedingWhit-Sunday for as long a period as the Houseshall ad journ for. 'The Committee then proceeded with the clauses in the Ely and Whittlesea Deviation Railway Bill. Group B. The Committee re-assembled at the usual hour this morning. LEEDS AND DEWSBURY LINE. Mr. BAINES intimated that an agreement had been made between the Leeds and Manchester Company and the Leeds and Hudders field Company respecting the line between Leeds and Dewsbury, which would render that scheme an unopposed line. LEEDS AND HUDDERSFIELD. Mr. BAINES stated that this Bill was for power to construct a railway between Leech and Cooper.bridge, for facilitating the local traffic between Leeds and Dewsbury and Huddersfield. The cost of this line would amount to about 020,000/. or 630,0004, and the line, it was calculated, would yield a return of 71. per cent, on the capital. Mr. John Gott, of Leeds, Mr. Thomas Coke, a manufacturer, of Dewsbury, and Mr. Williams, woolstapler, of Huddersfield, gave evidence of the necessity which existed in the district for the line; and the traffic returns were spoken to by Mr. Thomas Taunton; while Mr. J. Grainger, engineer, of Glasgow, proved that there were no engineering diffi culties on the line ; the line would be 16 miles in length, and the cost of construction 463,429!., or 45,000!. per mile. The principal difficulty would be one tunnel and four or five arches. The Committee declared that the preamble of the Bill had been proved. The consideration of the various clauses in the Bill was post poned till Friday. LEEDS AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION. The evidence in this case was then resumed. Mr. Hardy lived in Loumore, and managed the Loumore Iron works, The West Riding Railway would pass over three miles of his father's property, and through the township of North Direly, the population of which was 9,941. The line would, in his opinion, afford great accommodation to this district. The West Yorkshire line would be very acceptable to the inhabitants. Mr. L. W. Wickham, a magistrate of the West Riding, gave similar evidence In favour of the line. Group 0. TRENT VA LI.r.Y RAILWAY. The Committee appointed to investigate the lines in Group 0 met at twelve o'clock in Roem 13. The Committee consisted of Mr. Hawes (Chairman), Mr. F. French, Lord Emlyn, Mr. Smol let, and the Hon. Mr. Charteris. Mr. Talbot, Mr. Merewether, and Mr. Lucas appeared for the promoters of the line. Ncbody appeared to oppose the preamble. Mr. Forsyth appeared on behalf of the Grand Junction, who put in a petition respecting certain clauses. There was also a petition from Mr. Pease, one of the Shareholders, who objected to some of the arrangements which had been made. It appeared, from the statement of Counsel, that the line was to run from Stafford to Rugby, and was about 491 miles in length. The estimated cost v. as about 9 00,0t0/., and from the passengers and ammut er of traffic it w a expected that th e return would give about ten p cent. on the capital. There were branches called the Potteries Branch and the Aldrus Branch, but it was not pro posed to go into them at pr esen t . The following witnesses were then called : Mr. Charles Wilkinson, clerk to Mr. Wheeler, solicitor to the Trent Valley Company, examined by Mr. MEREWETUEII.—The capital of the Company i s 1 , 250 , 0 00/. The shares subscribed amount to 1,148.840/. The shares paid up amount to 114,834/. There are nineteen subscribers who have a local interest, and who have subscribed 12,7601. Mr. Fox, one of the agents, produced tables showing the traffic. This traffic would be chiefly derived from other lines of railway. Thomas L. Gooch, engineer, examined by Mr. Lucas —The length of the proposed line was 49 miles and some chains. Th e worst gradient on the line was 1 In 264, and that but for a quarter of a mile. There were n o engineering difficul ies o n th e line. The preamble was the n passed, and the cl auses were postponed to Thursday. The Committee then proceeded to consider the Grand Junction Potteries Branch. (Sub_Committee, This Committee, consisting of Mr. Aglionby (Chairman), Mr. Thornely, Mr. Stansfield, Captain Jones, and two other Hon. Mem bers, met this day at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 7. The Committee wore occupied for some time in arranging the order in which they were to take the following Bills . The Harwich Eastern Counties Junction Railway (No. 2), the wißermondsech Railway and . 2), and th e Manchester Court of Record (No. 2). Theke CHAIRMAN informed the agents that th , and th en the Ber e Committee would come on. first ta the Manchester Court of Record Bill mondsey Improvement Bill , after which the Railway Bills w ou ld Should the latter competing Bills come on to-day, the proceed. ing will appear in our Thisd Edition. On Friday, . of 23d inst. William , Rob er t R oper, son of the late Roper, Esq, eh of St. Luke's, was admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, PARLIAMEN TAR Y DIVISION Au& ( From the Votes and Promedings of the House of Commons.)
