ing classes, it would compel the servants of the company to remain on duty during the whole day. He objected also to the amendment now proposed. Mr. Thornely's amendment was then agreed to ; the other amendments of the Lords were agreed to ; the Chairman reported progress, and the report was received. CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. Sir R. PEEL said—l am convinced I shall be acting in accordance with the unanimous feeling of this House if I avail myself of the earliest opportunity of proposing that we should offer to her Majesty our cordial congratulations on the happy event which has taken place this day.—(Cheers.) I am sure that there will be one feeling of universal satisfaction through out this. country that an addition has taken place to her Majesty's family, and that thus there is an in creased guarantee that the Throne of these realms will long continue in the direct descendants of her Majesty. Every increase of domestic happiness to her Majesty will, I am sure, be a cause of grateful satisfaction to her faithful Commons. And, I therefore beg to move at once, that this House do present an address to.her Majesty. expressing.the sentiments which I have uttered.—(Cheers.) Lord MARCUS HILL seconded the motion. An address, which was the echo of the Right Hon. Baronet's speech, was then read by the Clerk, put by the Speaker, and agreed to. CHARITABLE DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. SHEIL presented a petition from the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese of Cashel against the Charitable Donations and Bequests (Ireland) Bill, on the ground that such matters belonged exclusively to eccle siastics. He must say that he believed this petition was drawn up under a misconception of the effect of the Bill— a Bill which he, for one, must say he could not refrain from expressing his approbation. Mr. IN!. J. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Dublin, signed by 196.000 persons, in favour of the re peal of the legislative union. Also 73 petitions from Kerry and other places in Ireland, Salford, Newfound land, Canada, and other places, containing, in all, 300,000 signatures, to the same effect. Mr. MASTERMAN presented a petition from St. Ann's, Blackfriars, against trading on the Sabbath. SUDBURY. _ _ Mr. CHRISTIE wished to know from the Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, whether the statements contained in the Morning Herald newspaper, which was now considered the organ of the Government, were correct, that it was intended to give the franchise from Sudbury to part of the county of Middlesex ? Sir R. PEEL had not heard the report alluded to by the Hon. Member, that the county of Middlesex was to enjoy the spoils of Sudbury.—(EJear.) Supposing, however, that the Government had come to any decision upon the subject, he thought it would be most unwise to state what that determination was. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE Wished to know upon what day it was intended to adjourn the House and for what period. He was also desirous of knowing when the decision was likely to take place in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell. Sir R. PEEL said that no decision would be given till the judges came to town, at .d he understood that when they did so they were anxious to have a conference. The prorogation, however, would not take place until the de • vision in that case was given. It was his intention either to-morrow, or Thursday, to move the adjournment to a certain period, with a view to have the opinions of their Lordships on the case of Mr. O'Connell. THE TIMBER TRADE. Mr. HAWES then proceeded to call the attention of the President of the Beard of Trade to the petition of the merchants and importers of deals and other woods. In the next session it was his intention to call the atten tion of the Government more fully to the subject. Mr. GLADSTONE regretted that such a subject should be brought under. the consideration of the House at such a period. He thought it inexpedient to meddle with the duties on timber at least for the preset.t session. He was happy to be able to inform the House, that after nine months' experience of the working of the new law, he did not hesitate to say that, as far as the revenue was concerned, there would be no loss. Mr. HAWES having replied, the subject dropped. COMMON-L 1 W PROCESS—CONFERENCE. Mr. PRINGLE here appeared at the bar and stated that the House of Lords wished a conference upon the Courts of Common Law Process Bill. A conference, was agreed to, which several lion. Members were appointed to conduct. After an absence of some length the members of the conference returned, and Mr. PRINGLE stated that they had had a conference with their Lordships, and had left the reasons, disagree ing from their Lordships' amendment, with the members of the conference appointed by their Lordships. Another conference with the Lords was then ap pointed on the Art-Unions Bill. • - Mr. WYSE returned, and stated that their Lordships refused to agree to the clauses which gave protection to certain publishers named in the Bill. The Hon. Gen tleman stated, in his opinion, that these clauses ought to be retained. Protection had been given to persons against whom qui tam actions had been brought, and he thought it was not too much to ask for protection for these eminent publishers. lie therefore moved that the House do insist on its amendments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think it would be politic to put this question at issue. Mr. T. DUNCOMI3E said, that if the Government thought these amendments were just, they ought to do all in their power to have themcarried. He thought the House ought to insist upon these amendments. After a few observations from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. BERNAL, Sir R y PEEL hoped that the re'ult of their differences would not be the loss of the Bill, and the exposing of parties to penalties which they had incurred from vio lating; the law. li e th oug h t t h ey oug h t to d e l ay t h e further cons'deratien of the motion. Mr. IV YS E agreed to postpone his motion till to morrow at twelve o'clock. COUNTY CORONERS BILL. A message from the Lords informed the House that Their Lordships had agreed to a conference on the County Coroners Bill on Thursday next, at five o'clock. CHURCH PATRONAGE (IRELAND). Captain BERNAL then rose to move for copies of any letters or instructions which might have been written to Lord Ileytesbury, relative to the future disposal of Church patronage in Ireland, with reference to the E7lucation. Board. Ile deprecated the course that had • been pursued by the government of Lord De Grey, as to the appointments that had been made. The late Lord-Lieutenant had appointed thirty-nine Chaplains—an unprecedented number ; and he (Captain Bernal) understood that the present Lord-Lieutenant had re-appointed the same persons, all of whom were opposed to the national system of education. The Right Honourable Baronet on a former occasion, stated that the feeling against the national system of education was fast subsiding. Now he (Captain Bernal) would venture to say that nobody who was acquainted with Ireland would - say that this was the case. Imme diately after the letter by the Right lion. Gentleman, which was written to the Lord-Lieutenant in 1841, one of the Prelates recently appointed, in a sermon, gene rally stated that the nati o n a l system of education of Ireland inculcated Deism or Mahomedanism. Now this man was a hi, hop, and he (Captain Bernal) would ask what would he the effect of such opinions upon the cler gymen in that Bishop's diocese ? Another clergyman, Dr. Daly, in speaking of national education, said that the Right Hon. Gentleman, in supporting such a system, was only entering into a God -denying compact with the Catholics. Now he (Captain Bernal) could not but thir.k that if the Right Hon. Baronet and the Govern ment were sincere in their intentions of carrying out na tional education, they would find no difficulty in modi fying the opinions of such vituperative clergymen as these. He had heard . of lawyers roaring like lions in the Rotunda against national education, yet voting like asses for an increase in the grant for carrying it out. If it had not been for the system of national education in Ireland there would have been a rebellion in Ireland. He e`.:aled on the Right lion. Baronet to give some specifile pledge to that House of his sincerity, and he called on him to produce the correspondence which hiv:i taken place between himself and the Lord- Lieutenant on the subject of the disposal of Church pntr,inage in Ireland. Sir R. PEEL said it was perfectly true that he had stated, in the course of a discussion on Irish affairs, that he had written, in September, 1841, a letter to the Lord- Lieutenant, to the effect quoted by the lion. Gentleman. Whether the words were exactly the same he could not answer for, but the purport of the letter was that to 'which the Hon. Gentleman had referred. He thought that in the course of that debate it was stated that one `cause of the inefficiency of the Irish Church was, that for a long series of years Church patronage had been made subservient to political interest. He stated then that al any rate that charge could not apply to the PretwAt Government, for shortly after the appointment of Lerd De Grey lie had intimated to the Lord- Lieutenant that the opinion of her Majesty's Govern ment was, that the best mode of strengthening the Irish Church was to appoint to offices in that Church men of 'unblemish . ed pri va t e character and of the highest pro fessional merit, and upon the understanding from Lord De Grey that it was his intention to make that quali fication general, he (Sir R. Peel) informed him that he should never receive from him any solicitation on account •,of Parliamentary interest. That engagement was lite rally and punctually fulfilled. He never did press on the Lord-Lieutenant any merely political or Par liamentary claim, believing that Lord De Grey would exercise the patronage in the Irish Church according to the principles laid down in his (Sir R. Peel's) letter with respect to it. His firm belief was, that Lord De Grey acted in strict conformity with those reeorntnenda lions. He did not believe that Parliamentary interest bad influenced Lord De Grey in his appointments. The Hon. Gentleman said that he (Sir R. Peel) had recently • exhibited zeal in behalf of the national system of educa tion. This was not the fact, for when he was in office in the year 1835 there was an increased grant proposed for national education. During the whole time the late Government was in office had he ever opposed this vote? No; on the contrary, during that period, it received his cordial support. It was true that he had stated that the opinions against the national system of education were on the decline. He stated that on the authority of the report of the Commission which superintended that system. He would, in support of this opinion, read to '!thisHetiSO\aAlithaent of the number of schoo ls which .bad been - in- - existence under the present system since the year 183 P : - Schools. Scholars. .•1839 . 1,581 , ; 0 1840 1841. . 2,327 2,721 2,f12 THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1644. This appeared to him to be a complete demonstration that the system was increasing. He believed that much misapprehension existed with respect to the national system of education. An impression had gained ground that the Divine Scriptures were excluded from the schools. This was most erroneous. He had only to re peat that it was the intention of the Government to give their warm and cordial support to this plan of national education. His refusal to establish a separate grant for the Established Church was as strong a proof as he could give of his disposition cordially to support the national system of education. If they were to establish a separate grant, the Presbyteriaa would ask for a similar grant, and then there would be three grants for the same purpose. With respect to the particular document which the Hon. Gentleman had called for, he had to in form him that no such correspondence was in existence. Lord Heytesbury knew that it was the intention of the Government to give their cordial support to the national system of education ; but he had received no instruc tions to appoint persons in the Church who were favour able to that system, and them only ; as, in his (Sir R. Peel's) opinion, such a course would have the effect of retarding rather than advancing the progress of that system. - Mr. WYSE did not think a separate grant would be advantageous either to the Roman Catholics or the Church. Re did not think that the system of national education could be worked out well, while the digni taries of the Church of Ireland were so hostile to it. Lord EBRINGTON regretted that the tone which had been adopted by the Right Hon. Baronet that night had not always been the same. If the Right Hon. Gen tleman had indulged in the same tone when he was in opposition, many of the difficulties with which the na tional system of education in Ireland had to contend would be removed. He did not know whether the Right Hon. Baronet had or had not given the system a silent vote, but he never expressed himself favourable to it. With respect to the appointments made by the Lord Lieutenant, with whom he was most nearly connected, he would say that he looked ,core to the opinions held by the clergymen he advanced on the subject of national education than to their political opinions. Mr. DARBY said that he knew Mr. Woodward to be an excellent and able clergyman, and it would be very hard indeed if such a clergyman was not to receive pre ferment in the Church, because he might have held cer tain opinions on the subject of national education. But whether the clergy had or had not objections to the system of national education, he thought now that the system was adopted they would act more wisely in visit ing the schools and superintending them, than in keep ing aloof altogether. (Hear, hear.) He thought they ought to visit the schools and improve them as much as possible. He thought it would not be wise to lay down any rule on the subject of preferment in the Church. Mr. SHEIL said that they did not call on the Right lion. Gentieman to lay down any rule, but they coin plained that wherever the rule was, the practice of the Government in Ireland was contrary to the policy which the Right Hon. Gentleman had professed in that House. He said that they had determined to give the system of national education their cordial support ; but how had the Ministry given it their cordial support ? He denied that in the policy which they adopted in Ireland they had given a cordial support' to their own system. He did not mean to say that they were not sincere in their intention of supporting that system. It was to be re marked that they had excluded from preferment all those who were favourable to the system of national education. He did not mean to say that they should lay down any rule, but he thought that some of those who supported the system of national education should be promoted. Who had they promoted ? They had promoted Dr. O'Brien, Dr. Daly, Mr. Newman, and Mr. M'Ginnis, whose hostility to the system was openly avowed and undisguised. By promoting such men they counteracted their own objects.—(Hear.) They did no service to the Church by such a policy ; for they placed it in opposi sition to the people.—(Hear, hear.) It became odious to the people.—( Hear, hear.) They opposed a phalanx of hostile persons to the best measure of education that could be devised for Ireland. They arrayed an oppo sition to a useful measure. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that he did not control Lord De Grey in his appoint ments. It was said that the Irish Church was a per quisite of the Lord Lieutenant's. It was most extraor dinary that the Irish Secretary had no control over the appointments in the Irish Church, nor had the Home Secretary. It was all in the hands of the Lord Lieu tenant. He (Mr. Sheil) denied that this was merely a political question—it was a religious question, a moral question. From the Education Board would flow great public usefulness, morality, charity, and Christian love. If so. the question was not a political question ; it was a religious and moral question, and they were acting in an imprudent and impolitic manner in not giving some pre ferment to clergymen who supported the system of na tional education, who had equal merits with those whom they preferred, and who were opposed to the system. The Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, had declared in that House, and had surprised the House, and raised great indignation in Ireland, when he said that the con duct of Protestant clergymen had been most factious in ther opposition to that system. Lord ELIOT signified dissent. • Mr. SHElL—the Noble Lord had used the word factious, and he was for months afterwards made the :subject of attack in the Evening Mail. He would show that the Noble Lord had used the word, and he was sur 'prised that the Noble Lord's memory was so defective on this point. Perhaps it was an unhappy expression, but the Noble Lord had made use of it. It was not his intention to reproach the Government, but surely they ought to act in conformity with the opinions they had avowed themselves. They had preferred thirty-nine individuals, only two of whom were in favour of the na tional system of education. But it was a misfortune that the intentions of Government were always counteracted by the officials in Dublin. In the late publication of Edmund Burke's letters, that distinguished individual said that, that the best intentions of Government were counteracted by persons in office in Ireland. Those who were selected for preferment in the Church would seem to have been selected on account of their hostility to this very system, which had been so warmly supported by the Right Hon. Gentleman. At this period of the session, he did not wish they should part excepting in good humour. He lamented that there should be defects which disfigured, if they did not entirely destroy, the benefit of this measure, which he knew was well meant. Lord ELIOT explained. He said that he had no recollection of using the word factious, attributed to him by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He had said tha the Protestant clergymen were opposed to the measure, but that they were actuated by conscientious motives ; and he was sure if he had used the word factious he would have been called on to explain by some of his Right lion. Friends behind him. He had the most distinct recol lection that he spoke with the utmost respect of the Protestant clergy. As to himself, he did not think that his sincerity could be doubted, and he was sure that his Noble Friend, Lord De Grey, was actuated by the purest motives in the appointments which he had made. He had not allowed any private feelings to influence him, nor was he actuated by any family influence.— (Ironical cheers.) Ile knew by that cheer that Hon. Gentlemen alluded to Dr. Daly, who, it was said, had been appointed because his brother had been a Member for a county, and possessed considerable influence. But they had been influenced in appointing Dr. Daly on the ground of his knowledge, and his reputation as a dis tinguished preacher.—(lronical cheers.) He was sure that the Protestant clergy were actuated by the most conscientious feelings. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said that he never heard of Dr. Daly having possessed any qualifications for his ap pointment to a bishopric, comprising nearly two popu► bus counties, except the language quoted by his Hon. Friend, and that he was the rector of Powerscourt, where a site was refused by Lord Powerscourt's mother for the building of a Roman Catholic church. He had also heard from a respectable person, on whom he could rely, and whose name be was ready to give to any Hon. Gentleman who asked for it, thaton one occasion last year in Lismore he told his congregation to avoid all in tercourse with Roman Catholics, and those who were rich of them should not employ Roman Ca tholic servants.—(Hear, hear.) The Cork Examiner of the 25th of July, in alluding to the subject, said that one clergyman dissented from the doctrines promulgated by his Bishop, and that several of the con gregation had left the church. He could understand why such a person as Dr. O'Brien, who was a man of great learning and acquirements, was appointed to a bishopric, but, in the name of common sense, what had Dr. Daly to do with learning or literature ? He never heard of his producing any work? Indeed he was at one time editor of a religious paper. They did not want the Right Hon. Baronet to adopt any rule ; all they wished was that the practice of the Government would not con tradict their own declaration, and that they should ap point men who, like the late lamented Dr. Sandes, whom he was proud to call his friend, knew how to com bine zeal for their own religious dogmas with that charity which was above all other virtues, and who would do honour to the faith they professed by promoting good feelings amongst all.—(Hear, hear.) Captain BERNAL replied—He did not want the Right Hon. Gentleman to adopt a rule, he only wished that he would not adopt the rule of appointing those who were opposed to the system of national education. But, however, the Right lion. Gentleman seemed to be a promising convert to Whig principles, and he hoped he would go on and prosper. The motion was then withdrawn ANATOMY ACT. Mr. BORTIIWICK wished to know whether the Right Hon. Gentleman would have any objection that the Bill he wished to introduce might be printed. Sir J. GRAHAM said that it was the intention of the Government to take the subject into their considera tion during the recess. Mr. BORTHWICK was satisfied to leave the subject in the hands of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he knew the subject would be much better treated in his hands than it possibly could in his (Mr. Borthwick's). The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Eight o'clock. FATAL ACCIDENT.-WORCESTER, AUGUST 5.- I write in haste, as the post is just leaving, to say that, at seven o'clock this evening, twelve of the navigators employed in our Severn improvement were drowned, while crossing the water, at the works, a mile below Worcester. They rushed into a flat-bottomed fisherman's boat, and, when in the middle of the stream, the boat upset. One body only has, as yet, been found.—From a Correspondent.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ?RODE TIM EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—A short but somewhat sharp discussion arose last night in the House of Lords, on Lord Minto's motion " for returns of the comparative strength of, the navy in the years 1842 and 1844, and of the force stationed at Otaheite dur ing that period." Although the motion failed of its apparent purpose, its real object will be achieved. The clamour that was raised within and without the walls of Parliament against the late Government, because of an imputed neglect of the naval force of the country, is now shown to have been utterly groundless. More flagrant violations of truth than those perpetrated by the party now in power, in support of that imputation, were never practised upon the feelings of a generous nation. The absurd alarms which were raised at that time will not be easily forgotten. Among other bugbears, raised to excite the alarms of the timid, and to supply topics for the journals which echoed the falsehoods these great statesmen employed as stepping-stones to office, it was actually pretended that a Russian fleet was likely to come up the Channel, land troops on our coasts, and desolate the country! Had there been the slightest cause for the alarms they spread when in opposition, respecting the defective state of the naval force of the country, one of the first acts of the present Ministry would have been to increase its efficiency. Neglecting to do this, they voluntarily incur the blame they sought to fasten on their predecessors; and they tacitly admit that they had raised an accusation without ground. But this does not exhibit the entire of the inconsistency and self-convicted destitution of truth, by which the conduct of the present Ministers, with reference to this question, is demonstrated. To have maintained the navy in the same state in which they found it upon obtaining the Government, would have been an admission that their predecessors had done all that was required for the defence of the country, and that, notwithstanding their fulminations, when in opposi tion, no necessity existed for increasing the strength of the navy for its protection or defence. But what will be said when it is found that the present Ministers have materially diminished' both the number of the ships, and the means of employing them with advantage ? Yet such is the fact—a fact which seals their condemnation. They stand convicted, upon the indubitable evidence of their own acts, of faction and dishonesty, when attempting to obtain the Government for themselves; and of neglect in that very department of the Government with respect to which they raised an unfounded outcry against their predecessors. A re ference to Lord Minto's speech will show the inadequate force in commission for present purposes ; a force certainly dis proportionate, as compared with that kept up by the late Ministry, of which the present Government uttered such loud complaints. When the late Government vacated office there were eighteen ships in commission. That number has been diminished to nine—by the very men who held that eighteen were not sufficient for the adequate defence of the country ! What will be thought of Lord Haddington's depre cation of such discussions as that which Lord Minto had raised by his motion ? " Such motions as the present were inconvenient, and were calculated to disturb our rela tions with foreign Governments !" Much did his Lord ship, and those with whom he now acts, regard the inconvenience and the danger of such discussions, when they assailed the late vernment upon the same topics, in a tone much more virulent, and on grounds mani festly much less sustainable. There is, however, one con sideration that was not adverted to by either of the Noble Lords who undertook to defend the Government ; but which will excuse the neglect of the navy with which it is chargeable. As our Foreign Minister seems willing to submit to whatever insult may be inflicted upon the British flag, or injury perpetrated against British in terests, there is the less occasion for providing the power of resenting the one or protecting the other. The man who is content to be kicked, will see no necessity for securing means for defending himself against insult. STANDARD.—Lord Minto raised a long debate last night upon the state of the navy, contrasting the present force of our marine with what it was when the present Government came into office, and complaining of the inconsistency of the present amount of the naval establishments with the com plaints made in 1839 by Conservative Members. We have no objection to the most constant vigilance being bestowed on the state of the navy, whatever Government might be in office. The navy is the great constitutional defence of the em pire, and the expense is the only objection to maintaining it at the highest possible degree of power and efficiency ; but the more frequently the deficiences, real or imaginary, of the service are exposed, the less the public will grudge expense. As to the details of Lord Minto's complaint, they have been sufficiently answered again and again, by ourselves as well as others. We have shown that the number of ships in commission, when the present Government came into office, is no correct term, because the late Government, while under sentence of death and awaiting execution, employed the interval in lavishly commissioning its ships for its friends and dependents —Lord Minto's son with others. The charge of inconsistency was happily met by the Duke of Wellington, who reminded Lord Minto that in 1838, 1839, 1840, the Go vernment was carrying on war in three quarters of the world, with (we may add) a reasonable prospect of a war in the fourth (Europe), and it was then on good grounds complained that the Government was carrying on a war with a peace establishment; whereas now there is no war anywhere, and the establishment is, notwithstanding, stronger and more efficient than it was four years ago. This is the truth. The present Government has more men and many more ships ready for prompt service than the late Government had, particularly double the number of war steamers, the force soonest available in war. If the number of ships of the line in commission is less, it is in order that the substantial force may be the greater. Ships of the line in commission are not only the most expensive description of naval preparation, but the least easily applicable upon any sudden emergency; but the ships of the line are ready, and the men are ready, though not on board of them. The men are where they can be more efficiently employed on any sudden call, should unhappily such a call be made ; and when they are wanted for ships of the line, they can be drafted into them at an hour's notice. These ships of the line are in fact just as available for instant service as if they were cruising in the channel, at an expense which would either enormously inflame the estimates or seriously cripple a more necessary branch of the naval service. We should rejoice to see ten or twenty ships of the line' majestically sweeping up and down the Channel, if the other branches of the service did not pay for the display ; but whe,n the choice lies between this noble exhi bition and the construction of a dozen first and second class steamers now on the stocks, we must vote for the steamers. Let our Government continue to augment this description of force at the rate at which it has been augmenting it, and in a few years England will possess a steam navy that may place our sons very much at their ease upon the subject of any imaginable war. The Duke of Wel lington treated precisely as it deserved the Whig Lord's re ference to the eccentricities indulged in in the Pacific. " The eccentricities," and all serious allusion to them, merit nothing but contempt, though they have been made the subject of a grand display in the French Chambers, by persons who, as the Journal des Debats says, seem to think that a Frenchman has been roughly treated by an English man, not an Englishman by a Frenchman. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 6. It was generally understood that the Lord Chancellor would have sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day, and given judgment in the case of ➢lr. Dyce Sombre, but at the usual hour of his Lordship sitting, the following notice was put up :—"The Lord Chancellor, having been summoned to Windsor, will not sit in Court to-day." VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Aug. 6. The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce sat to-day, and beard bankrupt petitions, none of which were of the least public interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. THE POLICE COMMISSION.-11 will be fresh in the re collection of our readers, that five gentlemen were com mitted for trial by Mr. Broderip, of the Thames Police court, on the 25th ult, upon the serious charges of riot and disorderly conduct, and with assaulting Thomas Cobley, policeman, 65 K, and attempting to rescue a prisoner from his custody. Their names and addresses are John Gardiner, Esq., of Brett's Hotel ; Wm. Robert Gardiner, his son, a law student, of 76, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square ; Frederick Lewis, also a law student, of the same place ; Joshua Ungley Bateman, Esq., of 8, Avenue-road, Regent's Park, barrister-at-law ; and Mr. Philip Francis Doit, of 58, Upper Warton street, gentleman. - The charge imputed to the defendants by the police was, that they had conducted themselves violently in the Commercial-road, East, shouting, " Down with the police—,to h— with the police;" that they had ob structed the officers in taking a drunken and disorderly female to the station-house, and that they had gone so far as to push against the police and tread upon their toes. At the hearing before the Magistrate Mr. Bateman and the other defendants solemnly declared that the police had attributed language to them which originated in falsehood, and complained that three of them had been locked up in the station-house upon offering themselves as witnesses for the other twodefendants. Notwithstand ing the repeated assurances of the defendants, Mr. Broderip sent the case to these sessions, observing to Mr. Bateman " You are a lawyer, and know that I cannot deal with it summarily. It is either a riot to attempt to rescue a prisoner, or it is nothing at all. It is impossible for me to decide upon it ; the Act of Parliament gives me no such jurisdiction." The defendants were then ordered to find bail for 50/. each, and the police were bound over to proecute in their own recognisance of 20Z each. Messrs. Clarkson, Bodkin, and Wilkins, had been re tained for the defence ; but, yesterday, some astonish ment was expressed in Court upon Inspector Valentine, of the K division, entering the witness box, and addres sing the Learned Chairman, said he begged to apologise for interrupting the Court, but he had been directed by the superintendent to apply to withdraw the prosecu tions against the five above-named defendants, and to request the Court to discharge the recognisance of the policemen who have been bound over to appear. The LEARNED OUTMAN inquired by whose autho rity the application was made. The Inspector stated by the authority of the Police Commissioners. The CHAIRMAN next asked upon what grounds the prosecution had been withdrawn, and the Inspector re plied that it was in consequence of no violence having been used, or injury received by the police. The CII tIRMAN remarked that it was a strange and singular proceeding to bind parties over to prosecute when no complaint was to be preferred. After a few other observations, the application was acceded to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. An Irish gallant, named Michael 0' Grady, was brought before Aldermen Sir John Key and Farebrother, charged with having refused to contribute towards the support of his wife, who became chargeable to the parish of Ald gate. It was understood that the defendant intended to plead that he had never been married to the complainant, who happened to be considerably the older of the two. The complainant produced an old, disfigured piece of paper as her marriage certificate, which appeared to be of the date of May, 1827, and showed that the ceremony had taken place in Killarney, in the district of the parish of Aglos, and been performed by the Rev. Doctor M`Naughton, a Roman Catholic clergyman. She said the marriage was legal according to the Roman Catholic creed, the religion they both professed ; and she de clared thit ber husband had for a series of years treated her with the most heartless neglect and cruelty. She had, however, until lately, never required any assistance from him ; but fi nding that her strength was failing her, and that hr husband was able to support a youthful substitute for her, she thought it but fair that he should save the parish the expense that otherwise must necessa rily fall upon the authorities. Sir JOHN KEY—Do you mean that he has married another woman ? Complainant--She lives with him at any rate, your Lordship. He gave me regular notice that he intended to leave me. He said, after looking me in the face for some time one (IV, your Lordship, that I was too old and too ugly for him, and that he must have a handsome young woman, and no other would do for him. Sir Joroi KEY—How long is it since you parted ? Complainant—About eight years, but we often parted before that ; we have been always parting.—(A laugh.) Sir JOHN KEY—When did you last receive assistance from Aldgate parish ? Complainant—This day I was obliged to apply, while he dresses out his lady in silks and satins. Sir Joins' KEY— Well, defendant, why do you refuse to relieve this poor woman, who has a legal claim to all you can do for her ? Defendant—Please your Lordship, I was never mar ried to her. To be sure, we haVe lived together, and a better, more affectionate, or kinder-hearted husband never breathed the breath of life.—(Laughter.) Alderman FAREBROTHER—And to convince her of the warmth of your attachment, you turn her off and take another woman into her place ? Defendant—Your Worship, I really thought she was dead or transported. There was no use in my acting kindly, for away she would tramp from me whenever she took it into her head. She has been the death of me fifty times at least. Complainant—Oh, goodness! why, your Lordship, he knocked me up stairs and down stairs till I was quite insensible. Defendant—l can call witnesses to my tenderness, your Worship. I was the sweetest tempered man— (Laughter.) A professional gentleman, who attended for O'Grady, said his client had never been legally married. He begged to be informed by the complainant what was the name of the chapel in which she had been joined in ma trimony to Mr. O'Grady ?—The complainant said that they were married in a house, and that it was as good a ceremony as ever was performed by a priest. Mr. Goodman (the Chief Clerk)—And you are both Catholics ? Complainant—Certainly we are. Mr. Goodman—Then your testimony is quite sufficient as to the validity of the marriage. The defendant's solicitor—lie was only seventeen years of age when he formed this connection. Defendant—And I was so comfortable, and affec tionate, and tender, to her, your Lordship. Alderman FAREBROTHER—And by way of showing all this you kicked her up and down stairs. Defendant—l never touched her in my life, I'll be on my oath.—(Laughter.) Sir JOHN KEY—Well, you will prove the sincerity of your affection by taking her home, and sending Miss Sniffum about her business. Defendant—And if I do, why she must go to the parish. It's quite impossible for me to support 'em both upon my small means, and Sniffum is of some use to me; but Mrs. O'Grady used to take delight in following me from situation to situation, and then abscond. I have not been in her company this eight years till now, and I hope this is our very last meeting. For a length of time the defendant resisted the appli cation to allow his wife a farthing, declaring that he should be obliged, if the authorities persisted in compell ing him to support her, to go upon his travels to other countries. At length, however, up In the assurance of the Alderman that his travels should be bounded by the walls of a prison, of small dimensions, he entered into sureties to make the allowance demanded by the parish. Sir Joiax KEY said he had received a letter from Lord Strangford, stating that his Lordship, having obserbed in the daily papers, an account of the imp ositi o ns prac tised by a person calling herself " Ellen Willoughby " and " Margaret Cope," and having received a letter signed " Ellen Willoughby," inclosing a (no doubt) forged certificate, similar to these described in the re port ; he had thought it advisable to transmit the same to the Mansion-house. His Lordship added that he had sent to Hythe, the place in which the writer said she was known, and to which she was desirous to go, and ascertained that no such person was known there at all. SirJ. Key stated that he had also received a letter from another nobleman, mentioning that a letter had been sent to his wife' (no doubt upon the au thorit y o f t h e red book), directed' to Brookes' Club - house , St. James's street, and subscribed " Fleming," to the same effect as those, copies of which had appeared in a former occa sion ; that IL had been sent to the writer before the re port had been seen, and that the object in troubling Sir John Key was, that the Dublin police might endeavour to get hold of the parties implicated in the ingenious fraud which, if it had not been for the press, would un questionably have very extensively succeeded. Sir JOHN KEY stated that he had received a sovereign for the relief of John Thompson Irvine, the unfortunate merchant who lost all his property at Harnburgh, and has been endeavouring for many years to support his ehildren,.whose mother has been some time, in conse quence of the pressure of adveise circumstances, in a lunatic asylum. The note inclosing the money was signed "J. 5.," and requested that the Alderman would acknowledge it in the Times. He likewise stated that he had received for the same poor man the second half of the five-pound note which had been transmitted by a benevolent person who had seen the statement of the distressing case in the newspapers. CLERK:EN WELL. Mr. George Williams, a middle aged man, proprietor of a hair-dressing establishment in Warner-street, Clerk enwell, was charged with violating the person of Eliza beth Dttckworth, aged 15. The case was remanded for further evidence. , Benjamin Beadle, a cab- driver was charged under the following aggravated circumstances: — On the 7th of June an unfortunate girl, named Jane Hughes, was sitting in the Guy Earl of Warwick public house between five and six o'clock in the morning, when the prisoner entered, and, after using language of a very rough and offensive character towards her, asking her to drink some gin and milk. She refused, whereupon the prisoner, without receiving further provocation, flung the glass at her and broke it to atoms on her forehead. The unfortunate woman was dreadfully mangled by the splinters of the glass. She became insensible, and bled profusely from the wounds. When she fell, he flung a pint pot at her head, which fortunately did not take ef fect. When the police were conveying him to the cell at Bagnigge-wells station, he suddenly thrtsw himself on his back and kicked Nott, police constable 99 G, so violently on a delicate part part of his person, that the office al most fainted from pain, and was for some days unfit for duty. He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment. Three Irishmen, named Hughes, lifahony, and Fitzgerald, were charged with creating a disturbance at the Carved Lion public-house, Lower-road, Islington. At ten o'clock last night the prisoners, who were drinking in the house with some soldiers, became exceedingly dis orderly. The police were called in, who attempted to re move them, but they "pitched into" the police right and left, and several other policemen were called in before they could remove them. The prisoners declared they were perfectly sober, and as a proof of it, urged that they had lost their hats. They were fined ss. each, or seven days' imprisonment. QUEEN-SQUARE. Four young men, named Holmes, Nowell, Roberts,and Scott, whose abject appearance indicated that they were no strangers to hunger and distress, were placed before Mr. Bond, charged by Mr Elliott, the master of St. Margaret's workhouse, with the following conduct. Mr. Elliott said the defendants came to the workhouse, in Dean-street last evening, between eight and nine o'clock, and applied for a night's lodging. Having admitted a great number of persons during the preceding part of the night, and there being no more room in the house, the defendants were told that their wishes could not be complied with, but were offered bread, which they refused to accept, and insisted on being admitted into the house, and provided with beds. Finding that their request was not complied with, they created the most discordant noises, and knocked at the door with so much violence, and used such bad language, that they were given into custody. Mr. BOND said that the offence the defendants had com • mitted did riot come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, as they were not in the workhouse at the time. The way to get into the workhouse was not by insolent conduct, but by civility. He should,: therefore, discharge them. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Smith, a genteel-looking young man, who described himself as residing at Badham, in Essex, and of no occupa tion, was fully committed on a charge of stealing a silver butter-knife from the stand of Mrs. Gittins, in the Pantheon Bazaar, Oxford-street. Between five and six o'clock yesterday afternoon, the pri soner was standing in front of the counter when the butter knife was missed. He was charged with stealing it, when he produced it from his pocket, and offered to pay for it. On being given into custody, he made a desperate attempt to escape, and broke a quantity of china. He had a good watch and purse of money about him. He declined saying anything in his defence. Wm. Baker and Henry Baker, brothers, and by trade paper makers, were charged with committing a violent and un provoked assault on one of the footmen of Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador. The Chevalier Benehausen, the Russian Consul, was in at tendance in one of the private rooms of the Court. The complainant stated that, between ten and eleven o'clock last night, as he was proceeding along Piccadilly, the defendants, who were intoxicated, struck him twice without the slightest provocation, and knocked him down. The defendants alleged that the complainant had struck them first. The complainant positively denied this, and his statement was corroborated by a police-constable. Mr. MALTBY said the assault was a very gross one, and fined the defendants 40s. each, or one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The defendants, not having the money to pay, were locked up WANDSWORTH. THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE.— Monday was appointed for the examination of Amelia Alferry, the young woman who, on Monday, the 29th ult., attempted the murder of her two children and self destruction, on Wandsworth-common. Mr. Bicknell said, as the prisoner was then in a state of great nervous excitement, he thought that it would be politic before the prisoner was brought into Court to have the room cleared. The Court was accordingly cleared. The prisoner was led into the Court ; she is about twenty-seven years of age, was deadly pale, very weak, and had a vacant look. She was accommodated with a chair. The children, one a girl six years of age, and the other a noble looking boy, about four years old, were also brought into Court. The charge, as entered on the sheet against the pri soner, was as follows :—" Amelia Alferry, aged 27, single woman, charged with assaulting her children, Mary Anne, aged six ye a rs, and Henry, aged fou r years, withintent to murder them, by drowning, and also with attempting to commit suicide at the same time, to wit, on the 29th of July last." Mr. BURRELL approached the chair in which the pri soner was seated, and said, "Do you feel that you are capable of answering the charge nowmade against you?' —The prisoner, in a scarcely audible tone, said, " Yes, I do. _ William Alferry, a lad about fourteen years of age, was then sworn, and stated, " I live near the White Horse, Water- side, Wandsworth, and am brother to the prisoner. On Monday evening, the 29th of July, be tween five and six o'clock, I was crossing Wandsworth common, when I saw my sister sitting on the island near Mr. Wihon's. She had her two children with her. Their names are Henry and Mary Anne French. I wished her to go home. She said, You can go home ; I'm coming presently.' I went home alone, but came ba,ek shortly Afterwards to play at cricket- My sister was still sitting on the island, and the children were playing near her.' She called them to her and said, We'll go bome.' She then drew them to her, left the bench on which she had been sitting, walked to the water's edge and jumped in with them. The part into which prisoner jumped is called the Black Sea.' I went in after the children and held their heads up to prevent them from drowning. I hallooed for help, and kept the little children up until Mr. Steers came, and he walked into the pond and took the children out. Mr. Steers afterwards got my sister out with a great deal of trouble, and laid her upon the grass. The prisoner wo.* remanded. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENT AT WAPPING. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) If the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who direct the metropolitan improvements, have any bowels of com passion for the public good or the morals of the inhabitants of Wapping, who reside in the immediate vicinity of the Dundee, Aberdeen, and Perth steam-wharfs, they will as suredly improve the narrow street in this neighbourhood, by pulling down some few old houses of comparatively little value, and remove the cause of the nuisance periodically taking place, sometimes four and six times a week ; ind ee d every time those steam-ships come up or leave the port of London. Great credit is due to the police for their exertions, but they cannot abate the nuisance while the streets continue so very narrow. The number of vehicles of various descrip tions standing in this narrow thoroughfare at times is not less than from thirty to forty. If the desire for the public good does not affect those gentlemen, the convenience of passengers of their own class ought to make some impression on their feelings, inasmuch as they are greatly itconstnoded; for many of their carriages cannot get near the wharf. One old gentleman last week, an invalid, who arrrived just time enough for debarcation, was carried a-pic-a-back ; and many others, ladies and gentlemen, were obliged to make their way through this dirty street oh foot to the steam-ship, with evident marks of chagrin. ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIES, MEDITERRANEAN AND PENINSULAR MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST s.—At forty-five minutes to two o'clock this day, the Oriental Com pany's steam-ship Royal Tar arrived in the docks from Gib raltar, and landed the Mediterranean and Peninsular mails, which were immediately dispatched by a special train, leav ing here at two o'clock. The Royal Tar left Gibraltar on the 28th of July ; Cadiz, July 29 ; Lisbon, August 1 ; and Oporto the 2d. She has a full cargo, and above thirty passengers.— At 4 p.m. this day, the Royal West Indian mail-packet the Medwayarrived at her moorings and landed her mails, which will be forwarded by the two o'clock a.m. train to-morrow. The dates are Tampico, June 21 ; Vera Cruz, July 1 ; Ha vanna'', July 11 ; Nassau, July 13 ; and Bermuda, July 22. She brings in freight 247,025 dollars, 697 oz. of gold dust, 9,588 oz. of silver bullion, 1,816 oz. of gold, 313 oz. Plata Brats, 171 serons of Cochineal, 1711. 12s. British money, and 104 passengers. The Medway was not due before the 7th inst. WEST INDIA PINES AND TURTLE.—On Monday there was another sale of 5,000 pines in Monument-yard, making a total number of 36,000 of this fruit which have this season been brought to the hammer by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt. These last were brought from the Bahamas, by the Fear -Not, in twenty- six days, and the competition was very spirited, the best quality averaging from 3s. to ss. 6d. each, whilst those of the inferior quality sold at 6d. to 10d. The sale of this new article of import may now be considered as fairly established for future annual supply, there being but an import duty of five per cent. Purchases were made for several of the provincial towns, and also for the Paris market. A quantity of live turtle which were sent over by the same vessel, and were the first imported duty free under the new tariff, were sold by private contract at Is. 6d. per lb. in the shell, it being hazardous to keep them, owing to the sudden transition from a hot to a cold climate, of which they appeared particularly sensitive. The Emperor of Russia has forwarded to Mr. Charles Coote, pianist to his Grace thr , Duke of Devonshire, through his Excellency Baron Brunnow, the ribbon of the Order of St. Anne (with a gold medal attached), for his corn sition entitled " Homage a l'Empereur Nicholas," written in honour of the Imperial visit to England, and performed in presence of the Emperor at the memorable fete given to his Imperial Majesty by the Duke of Devonshire at Chiswick, in June last. THE MOORS.—Our accounts from the north speak highly of the sportsman's prospects for the 12th. An unusual number of gentlemen from the south have gone into Scotland to be ready for opening the campaign. BOULOGNE AND PARIS.—The intercourse between France and England is still remarkably on the increase as shown in the number of persons embarking and disembarking at the above-named French ports. During the week ending the Ist inst., the number was—at 80u10gne,3,831 ; Calais, 1,012; total, 4,843. During the corresponding period of last year, the total was 2,140; thus showing an increase during the week of the present year of no less than 2,703. THE EXISTING PARLIAMENT.—At the close of this present protracted session, Pailiament will nearly have en tered its fourth year of existence, having already lasted about three years—viz., from August, 1841 (on the 19th of which month it , first assembled), to August, 1844. In order "to die a natural death," the actual Parliament must, of course, linger until the expiration of the session of 1848, four years in prospective. Since the era of the Reform Act, the average duration of Parliaments has been generally less than three years. The first reformed House of Commons, elected in October 1832, was summarily dissolved by William IV. in December, 1834; the second reformed Parliament had its existence cut short by the demise of that Sovereign in 1837, but the third, which was elected on the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne of Great Britain, lasted nearly four years, and was finally dissolved by the Melbourne Ministry in June, 1841. Of these three defunct Parliaments, only one, therefore, was extinguished by an inevitable, or constitutional, as contradistinguished from a party or political, cause. Of the other two one was dissolved by a Whig, and the other by a Conservative Government ; and it is curious that in both instances the attempts to gain a majority proved a failure. The longest Parliament immediately preceding the passing of the Reform Bill was that elected in 1826, which lasted till the death of George IV., in 1830, put a period.to its exist ence. The shortest was the very next, which was elected in the summer of 1830, and suddenly dissolved by the Grey Administration in the spring of 1831, amidst the alarm and excitement attendant on the introduction of the first Reform Bill. It is worthy of remark that of the Parliaments which were chosen for some time after the passing of the Septennial Bill in the year 1716, not a few died a natural death, that is to say, lasted their full period of seven years. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Shortly before three o'clock, on Monday afternoon, a most alarming fire, resulting in loss of property, estimated by the proprietors at not less than 2,0001., broke out in the extensive sheds connected with the rope, marquee, tarpauling, and rick-cloth manufactory of Messrs. Staff and Son, 2, Dawson-street, Great Dover-road, Borough. Flames were first discovered by the inmates, issuing from the shed in which the composition is prepared for smearing the canvas used for waggon-covers, tarpauling, &c., and it appears that the fi re or i g i nate d th roug h th e neglect of a lad, who allowed the inflammable matter to boil over, during the temporary absence of the man whose duty it was to attend to the mixture. Before any assistance could be obtained, the fire extended most fearfully, seizing with the utmost fury upon immense piles of marquee covers, one of which was sufficiently capacious to cover 4,000 per sons. It contained upwards of 12,000 yards of the best canvas, and was completely fitted for immediate use. Be sides these there were several thousand yards of manufac tured tarpauling, sacking, rick cloth, and other stock in trade. The shed in which they were stored was 140 feet long by eighteen feet broad, and the height was eight feet. Upwards of half this warehouse, with the valu able contents, is destroyed. Engines from the South wark-bridge• road station, with 111 r. Henderson, the foreman of the Borough district, and front the Waterloo road, with Mr. Hambleton, the West of England, and the County fire-offices, were shortly upon the spot, but upwards of twenty minutes elapsed after their arrival before water could be procured, although the Lambeth, Southwark, anti Vauxhall mains reach the immediate spot. When water was obtained streams were pourec upon the blazing pile, and the effect was soon evident, the fire being confined to the principal or northern half of the shedding. It was nearly live o'clock before the firemen concluded their labours, and by that hour no further danger was apprehended. The pro prietors, unfortunately, are uninsured. Some of the houses in Great Bland-street are injured, and those in Deverill street, at one time, were in much danger. Several willow trees in the rope walk of Messrs. Staff and Co. are much in jured by the fire. A correspondent on whom we place reliance assures us that land is certainly in the ascendant. The other day a farm near to Hemel Ifeinpstead was sold, and by a country practitioner, at near forty years purchase. There is a property contiguous to it, which was announced in our columns yesterday, by Mr. George Robins. It includes an ancient mansion and 300 acres of land, with a tenant whose family have numbered one whole century upon it; there are ornamental woods, extending to 50 acres ; and our friend the knight of the hammer facetiously observes in his announcement, that it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them grubbed up, and substitute crops of wheat and barley, concluding thus—" A farmer does not need the luxury of woodland scenery to interfere with his more important avocations." LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—The particulars of a frightful calamity have just reached us. A pony and car were got this morning on the strand at Doran's Island. The pony was dead, and there is every reason to fear that Mr. Cutle Martin and his lady, who had a sea lodge in the island, and who left this town about ten o'clock last night, have been lost in the tide. Indeed, it is very generally reported that their bodies have been found at the Point, clasped in each other's arms. Nothing can exceed the sympathy and grief of all classes. We never saw such an excitement in this town before at se painful and unexpected an occurrence. It has been rumoured that some of their children were in the car with them, but we are well informed that all the children are in the lodge on the island.—Sligo Journal. PRIMITIVE CHURN.—The wife of a farmer at Hougham, Stamford, saves herself the labour of churn ing by the following peculiar contrivance. She ties up her cream in a linen cloth, over which she places a piece of print, and buries the whole in a damp place in the garden for twenty-four hours ; she then takes it up, and turns the cream which by this time is in the shape and consistency of a pudding) into a bowl, and by stirring it with a wooden spoon the butter quickly separates from the butter-milk, and is said to be sweeter than that pro duced by the ordinary method. W hat induced her to resort to this extraordinary system she states to be, that one of her neighbours having children troubled with sores, applied to them the ancient remedy of a salve made of buried cream ; by stirring it she perceived that this produced an oil similar to butter, and she thought that, if it would do in a small quantity, it would in a larger. This is rather a more primitive system than the one pur sued in Chili, where they place the cream in leather bags MI asses, and trot the animals about until it is changed into butter. PLEASING RESULTS.-.With the gaiety assumed by nature in the brightness of the summer season there are few disinclined to participate; and in pursuit of those rational enjoyments personal agremens, in all their vari. ty, are necessarily objects of desire—those, of which th,e perfection and durability are at once obvious and important, meet their most available preservative in Gowland's Lotion ; first, as a decided remedy for all cutaneous impurities ; and, secondly, as an elegant, mild, and effective appendage to the toilet, removing every species of local discolouration, defending the skin from all the well-known effects of heat upon its surface, and as contributing largely to continued delicacy and fresh uess of the complexion.
