impERJAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 17. ROYAL ASSENT. Th e LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, an d Viscount DUNCANNON, sat as Commissioners to-day ,t four o'clock, to give the Royal Assent to the several Bills passed since the last Commission. _ . The SPEAKER, attended by several Members, having appeared at the Bar, the Commission was read by the Clerk, and the Royal Assent was given in the usual form to the following Bills :--The Slave Owners' Compensation Bill, the Slave Treaties Bill, the Militia Pay Bill, the Re gistration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages Bill, the Mar riages (England) Bill, the Secular Jurisdiction (York and Ely) Bill, the Medical Witnesses Bill, the St. Clement (Oxford) Marriages Bill, the Creditors (Scotland) Bill, the Exchequer Offices (Ireland) Bill, the Valuation of Land (Ireland) Bill, the Sunk Island Road Bill, the Metropolitan Cemetery Bill, and the Langford Estate Bill. The House then adjourned during pleasure. The House resumed at Five o'Clock. The Grand Jury Presentment Bill, and the Exchequer Bills Bill, were read a second time, on the motion of Lord DUNCANNON. The Coal Trade Bill went through Committee without amendment ; as did also the Pensions Duty. Bill, the Poor Law Loan Repayment Bill, and the Tithe Composition (Ireland) Bill. GREEK LOAN BILL. This Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. BERNAL, and others from the Commons, brought up the Parochial Assessment Bill. The Inns and Alehouses Bill went through Committee, and was reported without amendment. On bringing up the report, Lord \VHARNCLIFFE moved the omission of the sixth clause, which after a conversation across the table, between Lord LYNDlluasT and Viscount MELBOURNE, • was agreed to. Lord LICHFIELD moved the first reading of the Paro chial Assessment Bill.—Agreed to. The NOBLE LORD gave notice that to-morrow he would move the suspension of the Standing Orders, in order to pass the Bill. The Stannaries Courts Bill, and the County Election Polls Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Lists of Voters Bill, and the Copyright Compensa tion Bill, were read a second time. On the latter, Lord LANSDOWNE said be would state its purport to-morrow, on going into Committee. The Earls Rosslyn and Brownlow, Viscount Hood, the Bishop of Gloucester, Lords Redesdale, Lyndhurst, and Fitzgerald, were appointed as Managers for the Lords, to hold a C o nference with the Commons, on the amendments made to the Prisoners' Counsel Bill. The Earl of ROSSLYN, the Manager of the Confe rence, on returning to the House, stated that the House of Commons still persisted in their objections to their Lord ships' amendments. STANDING ORDERS. _ _ . The Marquis of LANSDOWNE;;:ed the Order of the Day for the consideration of the resolutions with respect to the alteration of the Standing Orders. The Noble Marquis stated shortly the effect of the resolution, which was to give greater facilities to bringing in Bills, and greater uniformity in carrying them through.—Agreed to. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, AUGUST 17. The SPEAKER entered the House a Quarter before Four o'Clock, shortly after which Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the Table, and sum moned the Commons to the House of Lords, -to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills, for which see our Lords' Report. Mr. Strinburne, from the Commissioners of Westminster bridge, presented certain returns. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL said that as he believed there was not business to occupy the House to-morrow, he begged leave to move that the House at its rising do adjourn to Friday next.—Agreed to. COMMON FIELDS INCLOSURE. Mr. LEADER presented a petition from Bristol against this Bill. As, however, a clause had been introduced to obviate the objections of the petitioners, he would not oc cupy the time of the House with any ohsr'rvations upon them. CHURCH RATES. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from Chatteris, in Ely, deprecating the continuance of Church Rates. Lord J. RUSSELL would take that opportunity to cor rect a misunderstanding respecting some words that had fallen from him on thi s su bj ec t. When the subject was discussed in that Heuse, and an Honourable Member stated to him that his vote would depend upon his (Lord J. Russell's) answer respectinr , Church Rates, he th oug ht that it would be unfair to induce' that Hon Gentleman to give his vote, when it might afterwards appear that the measure which he (Lord John Russell) would have to propose might not be such as that Hon. Gentleman con templated. This statement of his was supposed to imply that he (Lord J. Russell) felt quite certain that the mea sure he intended to introduce next Session would be a measure that must be unsatisfactory to that Honourable Gentleman, and to his Honourable Friend who had presented this petition, and to others who had taken an interest in this subject. He begged leave to say that he did not at all mean to imply this : what he meant was, that he would not take advantage of an Hon. Gentle man's vote, when the measure he had to propose might not come up to that Hon. Gentleman's expectations ; but his hope was then, and is now, that the measure which he should have to propose would be satisfactory to his Hon. Friend who had presented this petition, and to the great part of those who were interested in the subject.—(Hear.) THE BISHOPS. Mr. RUTHVEN presented a petition from St. Ann's, Dublin, stating that the public business would be greatly _ facilitated in the House of Lords, if the Bishops had not seats there, and praying the House to take into its consi deration some measure by which the Bishops might be ex pelled from the House of Lords. He moved that the pe ' tition be laid on the table. Mr. A. TREVOR would oppose the petition being laid • on the table. It prayed that the Bishops might be expelled from the House of Lords, and he submitted that that was not language in which petitions presented to that House • ought to be couched. Lord JOHN RUSSELL would like to hear the opi nion of the Chair, as to whether the petition ought to be received or not. The SPEAKER considered the petition contained lan guage which would prevent its being received by the House. Mr. RUTHVEN would withdraw the petition, and take care that the language was amended. At t h e same time h e b e li eve d t h at such petitions had been received by the House. Mr. BUCKINGHAM gave notice of his intention to move for Select Committees on his Bills respecting public walks, public grounds for play, and for the preservation of the public morals. Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), w h ether any measure for the more speedy trial of juvenile offenders was in the contemplation of the Govern : ment for next Session, as he had before promised that some neasures on the subject were in contemplation, and they Lad not yet beard of it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said ameasure upon the subject v i 'mild be brought forward in the next Session. He might be a: flowed then to say that he thought the Dartmoor would h we made an excellent prison for the purpose. He had nit down an inspector of prisons, and an architect, who .ported that it would not be worth while to lay out i oney for repairing it, it not being in a fit state. He Iv ad directed inquiries to be made respecting other public V 1 laces, but had not yet been a bl e to satisfy himself with a tuddincr t' which would be suitabl e to the purpose. Mr. LENNARD said a report had long been on the j able from the Commissioners who inquired into the cri z ainal law. He had been deterred from bringing forward / my measure, hoping that the Government would do so. 3 He now wished to ask, whether it was probable the ( iovernment would introduce some measure next Session ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said a measure upon the sub ict was in contemplation. The report on the tabl e did . t Lot, though an able report, enable him to introduce a Bill • upon it. He intended, therefore, to refer some other .question to the Commissioners, which he thought would be answered in time. Mr. M. PHILLIPS presented a petition from the cot ton and woollen manufacturers of Manchester and Salford, praying for the repeal of the duties on cotton. The Hon. Member gave notice that he would, early in the next ses , sion, move for the entire repeal of the duty on raw cotton. After some few observations from Mr. HUME and Mr. ROBINSON, the petition was ordered to be laid on the table. CHURCH RATES. Mr. D. W. HARVEY presented a petition from the 'hichester Church Association, praying for the redress of ievances. The petitioners, after enumerating the griev epees of which they complained, hoped his Majesty's Mi iters would next Session introduce a Bill for the abolition Church rates. Also a petition from the Surrey Radical ssociaton against certain parts of the Poor Law Amend lit Bill, and for the repeal of the Corn Tax, Mr. WARBURTON presented a petitio n from Brid rt, praying that a penalty might be imposed upon all per as selling spirits below the legal proof. ORDNANCE. Sir R. DONKIN presented papers from the Ordnance ice, which were laid on the table. Mr. HUME hoped that during the recess some measures Id be taken to carry i2to effect the recommendations of Committee upon this subject. EDUCATION. ir. EWART begged to know whether it was the inten tion of his Majesty's Government to appoint a Commission to inquire into the state of education in England and Wales. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as we understood, said that the subject would have the consideration of GOvernment previous to the next Session of Parliament. ADMISSION OF LADIES. Mr. HUME, on behalf of the Hon. Member for Glou caster, begged to give notice, that early next Session, he should renew his notice for the admission of ladies to the Gallery of the House of Commons.—(Laughter.) LIEUTENANTS OF COUNTIES. Mr. WILKS gave notice, that early next Session, he should move the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the present system of the appointment of Lords Lieutenant of Counties, and of Justices of the Peace.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member was proceeding on the subject, when he was called to order. HAMPSHIRE LABOURERS. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reference to a motion that stood on the paper respecting the labourers who were transported in 1831 for machine-breaking and riot, said it was quite un necessary to enter into this question, as it would be suffi cient to read a letter from the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, in reply to one that was written by him (Lord John Russell) on the Ist of August, which he thought would be satisfactory. The letter stated, that in consequence of a communication from him (Lord J. Rus sell), the whole of the 246 convicts who had been trans ported for machine-breaking and riot had been pardoned, except ten, who were undergoing punishme n t f or o ff ences committed in the Colonies. The exception had only been made with respect to those who had been previously con victed of other offenses unconnected with riots or machine breaking.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME—Did the pardon include all ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL—There was no distinction. The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was then read a third time, and passed. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. P. THOMSON the Parochial Assessment Bill was read a third time and passed. EXCHEQUER SUITS BILL. On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL the Exchequer Suits Bill went through a Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday. COMMON FIELDS ENCLOSURE BILL. The CHA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the consideration of the Lords' Amendments to the Com mon Fields Enclosure Bill. Mr. POTTER would submit whether the House could discuss amendments that were not before it. They were not even printed, and few of the Members had seen them. Mr. WAKLEY said if there were not most serious ob jections to the amendments he would not oppose the Bill, provided an opportunity was given till Friday to examine them. Mr. BAGS HAW could not see the propriety of post poning the consideration of the amendments. Mr. HUME said either the House was called upon to answer the Lords' amendments or not ; if they were, they ought to know what the amendments were. Mr. YOUNG and Mr. VVILKs deprecated the postpone ment of the consideration of the amendments. Mr. WAKLEY approved of the principle of the Bill, but he would not sanction amendments without reading them. As far as he had read the amendments he believed that they bad improved the Bill. Mr. BLAMIRE denied that the Bill would have the effect of taking away open grounds in the neighbourhood of towns, which had hitherto been appropriated to the public. He thought it would bo far better that the dis cussion should go on. Mr. LEADER thought that time ought to be given till Friday, in order to give Hon. Members an opportunity of reading the amendments. Mr. HARVEY thought that a Bill of such importance ought not to be introduced within 24 hours of the proroga tion of Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they ought to read the amendments, and understand what they meant. if it appeared that difficulties arose upon the amendments, and that objections existed, then a proposition might be fairly made for the postponing the con sideration of the Bill to another time. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when the numbers were— For taking the Amendments into consideration 60 Againb. it 5 Majority —ss The amendments were then taken into consideration. Mr. WAKLEY begged to know what Bill they were upon, and what clause ? He really did not know what was going forward.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) If the principle of the Bill had not been interfered with, and that the amendments of the Lords were printed, and taken into consideration on Friday, neither himself nor any of the Hon. Members near him would offer any opposition to it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WARBURTON said the Lords' amendments have only tended to render the Bill mare popular.—(Hear.) Mr. WAKLEY contended that in the clause under discussion the meaning of the word " land" bad been very considerably extended. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL defended the clause. PRISONERS' COUNCIL BILL. In consequence of a Message from the Lords, a Con ference was held in Committee-room No. 5, on the subject of the Lords' Amendments to the Prisoners' Council Bill. The Managers informed the House that the Lords insisted on their amendments to the Bill. Mr. E WART gave notice that be should move the con. sideration of the amendments on Friday. Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he should on Friday move that the Commons To not insist on their amendments to the amendments of the Lords. COMMON FIELDS INCLOSURE BILL. The House then resumed their discussion on the Lords' amendments to this Bill. Mr. LEADER said the House must see it was impos sible to go on with the consideration of the Lords' Amend ments without their being printed. Mr. HUME said he found it impossible to follow the Chairman in this Bill. After a few words from Mr. WAKLEY, Mr. LENNARD, and Mr. A. PELHAM, it was agreed that the amendments should be printed, and taken into consideration on Friday next. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A Message from the Lords announced that their Lord ships had agreed to the County Polls Bill, and the Church Temporalities Bill. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of this Bill. Mr. A. TREVOR opposed the Bill. He considered it an inroad on the elective franchise, and that the effect of it would be to deprive many voters of their votes. He would move as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day three months. Colonel SIBTHORP seconded the motion. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when the numbers were, For the motion For the amendment Majority —49 Colonel SIBTHORP proposed a Clause, by way of Rider, to prevent bribery on the part of the Government, by giving places to parties in order to procure their votes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that such a clause would weaken the effect of the Bill.— (Cheers.) Col. SIBTHORP said that he had proposed the clause as an additional trap to catch the Government. He be lieved this would be what was called a poser.—(Laughter.) Mr. TREVOR hoped his Gallant Friend would divide the House upon the subject ; if he did he should go along with him, although he was alone. He was used to that now_ - - After some further observations from Colonel Sibthorp, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Palmer, stran gers were ordered to withdraw. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the clause . Against it Majority .. .. On our return to the gallery we found Mr. A. TREVOR on his legs, moving that the 4th clause be struck out of the Bill.

Most trades entertain a pretty high notion of their Own importance. No trado, however, appears to us to have formed a higher notion of its own importance than the "ope rative printers." Two addresses, from a meeting of Delegates, recently held in Manchester, to the printers of the United Kingdom, now lie before us, and they contain rather amusing instances of professional egotism. The first address, which is signed " John Backhouse, Secretary," styles printing an " Honourabl e Profession," and bestows sundry fine epithets on the " Honourable Professors."--Liverpool Albion. HOUSE OF LORDS. APPEALS. Judgment was given on Tuesday in the case of Sir W. 0. Anstruther v. Anstruther. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that it was an appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland, on the question whe ther an heir of entail, being also an heir of the line, was bound by the law of Scotland to collate or bring into ac count the value of the real estate to which he had suc ceeded, before being entitled to claim the share of the per sonalty of the deceased. By a decree of Nov. 28, 1833, the Lords of the second division of the Court of Session had declared that the heir of entail must collate the real estate before he could take any benefit from his share of the personal estate. That decree was appealed from, and in April, 1835, this House forebore, hoc statzt, to give any judgment on the case, but directed the case to be remitted to the Court of Session, with an instruction to have it ar gued before the Judges of all the divisions of that Court, including the Lords Ordinary, and to pronounce judgment according to the opinion of the majority. The cause was accordingly argued in the way directed, and on the 20th of January, 1836, the Court pronounced unanimously the same decree as before. The judgment was now affirmed by their Lordships. Another case in which judgment was given was "the Marquis . of Breadalbane v. the Marchioness of Chandos." The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that this was an ap peal intended to bring under consideration of the House two questions, the first upon the construction of the marriage settlement of the Lady Mary Campbell, now Marchioness of Chandos ; and the other, whether before claiming her share of the legitim or child's portion of the personal pro perty of the late Marquis of Breadalbane, the present Marquis was bound to collate the estates he had taken as heir of entail. Lady Chandos, who was a daughter of the late Lord Breadalbane, had in 1819 married Lord Chandos, and upon her marriage a settlement was executed according to the English form, a settlement by which cer tain annuities or rent charges, expressly declared to be in satisfaction of her rightful dower, were granted out of the estates of her intended father-in-law the Duke of Bucking ham. The settlement also provided that the Marquis of Breadalbane was to pay the sum of 30,0001., "as the por tion or fortune of the said Lady M. Campbell," but there was no express renunciation on her part of any future claim on the property of her father. The late Marquis of Breadalbane died March 29th, 1834, leaving three children, the present Mar quis of Breadalbane, Lady Pringle, and Lady Chandos. Lady Pringle had, in fact, released her father's estate from any claim on her part to the legitinz or child's portion ; and the questions now raised were contested only by the Marquis of Breadalbane and Lady Chandos. The present Marquis of Breadalbane succeeded to the heritable estate as heir of entail, and claimed his share of the personalty of the late Marquis to be allowed to him without his being called on to collate the value of the real estate, of which he had already entered into possession. The case had come before the Court of Session on these questions, and that Court had decided that the Marchioness of Chandos had not re nounced her claim of legitim by any contract of marriage ; and in her respect of being the only daughter who had not renounced, the Court found that her claim was one-third of the free moveable property of her father, and that it was not liable to be reduced by imputing to it any part of the sum mentioned as given to her in the contract of mar riage ; and, further, that the present Marquis of Breadal bane was not entitled to take his share of the moveable estate, without first collating what he had become possessed of from the heritable estate. This judgment was also affirmed by their Lordships. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. TVESTERN CIRCUIT.—BnrsroL, AuG. 16. HARDING V. STOKES. This was an action brought under the Municipal Corpo ration Act, which gives an action of debt for 501. to any person suing for bribery in the election of municipal officers, and disqualifies a party against whom such action is suc cessfully maintained from holding any municipal office during the term of his natural life, and from voting in the election of any corporate officer, or for Members of Par liament. Two or three days before the election of town-councillors the defendant, who was deputy-surveyor for Bedminster, said to one Wakefield, who kept a cart and horses, that if he would vote for Pippin and two others, who were candi dates in the Tory interest, and not for Pippin, with Drake and Brown, who were the liberal candidates, he would give him the job of drawing a hundred load of stone to the work house. A hand-bill was also given in evidence, and written by the defendant, in which he alluded to a rumour having gone abroad of the above offer to bribe, and stated that he only said he would continue Wakefield in his employment. It also appeared that Wakefield expected to receive part of the 501. The Jury were locked up all yesterday and during the whole of last night. They came into Court this morning, and could not agree. After a long conversation between the Court and Counsel, Mr. Erle, for the plaintiff, offered to submit to a nonsuit, for the purpose of having the case tried by a fresh jury. WELSH CIRCUIT.-DENBIGHSII IRE. Elizabeth Parry, of the parish of Llangerniew, was charged with the wilful murder of her female illegitimate child, at Llangcrniew, and pleaded Not Guilty. The prisoner, when called upon, was borne in the arms of the gaoler, like a child, from an adjoining room, but she was not able to stand at the bar, and was permitted to sit during the trial on a chair placed in the docl. She ap peared to be scarcely alive ; her whole frame was paralysed, and her countenance was horribly ghastly. When sup ported at the bar to plead, she was as feeble as infancy, and bent almost double, and her solicitor received from her her plea, to every body else inaudible. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up at great length, and pointed out to the Jury the circumstances they must be satisfied about before they found her guilty of so high a crime ; and said that, in the event of their acquitting her of the charge of murder, they must then give him their opinion whether she was or was not guilty of concealment of birth. The Jury were absent a short time, and returned a ver dict of Not Guilty of murder. She was then arraigned on another indictment, for con cealment, to which she pleaded guilty ; and The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for four years. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Joseph Triggs, aged 20, was indicted for stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr. Garland, of Upper Berkeley street. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing under the value of 51. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing a gold watch and stand of the value of 181., the property of Mrs. Mary Wordel, of No. 16, Upper Seymour-street, Portman-square. —Guilty. James Dunn, aged 40, Margaret Wean, aged 57, and James Ward, alias George Read, aged 24, were found Guilty of unlawfully uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing the same to be counterfeit. POST OFFICE ROBBERY.—Joseph Chapman pleaded Guilty to two indictments, and Not Guilty to a third, for stealing money letters, he being at the time in the emp!oy of the General Post-office. At five o'clock the RECORDER took his seat on the bench, Charles Hughes, ag ed 35, was indi c t e d f or stealing a quantity of plate, of te value of 18/., the property of Mrs. Piercey, the proprietress of the Hanover Hotel, Hanover square. _ The RECORDER summed up the evidence and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty, joined with a recommendation to mercy. The Court sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months, and to be kept to hard labour. James Johnson Harris, aged 32, was indicted for steal ing, on the 7th July, four bank-notes of the value of 401., and some other monies, the property of Mr. Thos. James Rooke, from his person upon the high seas, within the juris diction of the Admiralty of England. • The prisoner in his defence denied the robbery. Two witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character for honesty. One of them, in his cross-examination, admit ted he had been twice tried, once about *erne ear-rings, and the second time it related to gilding sixpences. In both in stances he was honourably acquitted. Guilty —to be transported for 14 years. In the course of the trial, the RECORDER observed that from the great number of persons conveyed on board of steam-vessels, many of them unseaworthy, he had no doubt that some of the Captains would be placed at the bar. It was the opinion of many eminent naval men, that some very fatal accident would occur. The lives of the public were daily placed in jeopardy, arising entirely from the cu pidity of the owners, and it was essential that some mea sure should be adopted, to put an end to vessels being laden, until they were within eighteen inches of the water's edge. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1836 NEW COURT. Phwbe Adams, a demure-looking young woman, aged 17, was indicted for harbouring a child seven months old, with intent to deprive its parents of the possession of the same, she well knowing that the child bad been stolen by an evil disposed person. John Clackworthy is the father of the child now in Court, but his wife would speak more positively to that facto.. (Laughter.) Ellen, the wife of the last witness, said the babe was born on the 9th of December last, and it was carried away on the sth of July, and she never saw it again until the 23d of that month. She was quite sure it was her child from its features, marks, and other circumstances. On the day the child was lost she was sent out for an airing with a little girl, who would be called. Eliza Shuter went out on the 9th of July with the infant to see the balloon. A woman came up to her and talked about the child, and admired it. She was sent on an errand to fetch a person named Caroline, and on her return the woman and child were both gone. Charlotte Stedman proved that she went to the lodgings of the prisoner on the 23d of July, when she found her mother with the child on her knee. She immediately said that she knew the child, and came to claim it. The prisoner declared that she was delivered of twins about Christmas, and that this infant was one of the children. Mary M'Hugh, the aunt of the prisoner, was called to prove that she did not lay in about Christmas, or at any other time, to the best of her knowledge. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Since the publication of the summary statement of the offences of the prisoners for trial, on Monday, the following have been added to the number : For letter stealing For larceny .... 7 For unnatural offence... For stealing from the person For stealing by servants. For receiving stolen property 2 Former statement.. 23 ..302 Total.. 325 KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS A younc , man named George Taylor, footman to the celebratelMrs. Fitzherbert, was charged before Messrs. CODD, BARLOW, and PILKINGTON, with having assaulted a man of venerable appearance, calling himself Colonel Jasper Allen. Mr. CODD—What have you to say against the defen dant ? Allen—l've nothing to say further, than I wish you would hang me or transport me for life. Mr. CODD—I thought you was an inmate of the work house, which I should say was certainly the best place for such a man as you. Allen (with an air of indifference)—No, I am not in the workhouse ; I am allowed three shillings a week to starve on, and am wanting the bread of life. I was Colonel of the 10th Hussars at the time the Prince of Wales was Commanding Officer, and was very intimate with him at Brighton, and also with the Duke of York. This wound (pointing to a deeply indented scar in the centre of his fore head, into which a finger might be inserted) has been my . ruin. I was wounded by a gun-shot by the rebels in Ire land, and it cost me 4,0001. to get cured, so that I was obliged to sell my commission. Mr. CODD—But what has all that to do with your charge against Mrs. Fitzherbert's footman ? Allen—Why I charge the footman with—(looking round at the persons in the office, and at last pointing to Taylor, who was dressed in plain clothes)—" Ah, that's the man ; I know him again although he has taken his footman's clothes off. He is the man who, about a fortnight ago, when I was passing through Tilney-street, Park-lane, on the side opposite to Mrs. Fitzherbert's house, ran across to me, and impeded me on the public highway, saying Your name is Allen ; you're a -- old scoundrel, and you shall not go until I get a policeman." Taylor, in his defence, denied the charge altogether, and said that in consequence of Allen having, during the last three weeks, sent a number of begging letters to Mrs. Fitzherbert, he was ordered by the butler to stop him, if he saw him pass the house, and tell him he could have the duplicates which he had inclosed in the letters. On the 4th instant, seeing him pass, he stopped him, when he said if he was allowed to go for half-an-hour he would return for them ; but instead of doing so, he sent a letter to Mrs. Fitzherbert complaining of being assaulted by her domestics. Mr. BARLow informed his colleagues, that Allen com plained to him, on the preceding day, of having sent in a note to Mrs. Fitzherbert eight duplicates of various pledges, for the return of which he had made repeated ap plications, but without effect. He also stated that when ever he called at the house for them he was abused and in sulted by the defendant, who he was apprehensive had redeemed the articles. Mr. Bass, Mrs. Fitzherbert's butler, corroborated the statement of the defendant. Allen had during the last month been quite a nuisance to all in the house. Mr. CODD immediately ordered the defendant to be discharged, and told Allen he had subjected himself to be committed to the House of Correction for three months for what he had done, and he directed that if he sent any more letters to Mrs. Fitzherbert, he should be given into cus tody. He had better go into the workhouse. Allen said he would not go into the house, as he should be placed under a man, who, when he was a colonel, was a private. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. An elderly man, named John Stephens, was brought up before the LORD MAYOR, havinged with obtained possession of three 1001. and three e ' 101. Bank of England notes under the circumstances mentioned in the following evidence, taken under examination by Mr. Bush, the soli citor to the Committee of bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds. Mr. Bush attended on the part of Messrs. Barclay and Co., bankers, of Lombard-street. William Ward, wheelwright, of Typin-road, Stoke New ington, stated that he was in possession, and he produced three 1001. and three 101. notes which he had received from the prisoner, who was his wife's brother. The pri soner said that he had found the notes in Bull-street, Bir mingham, and witness took one of them to the Bank of England to ascertain whether it was good, the prisoner having stated to him that he had never undoubled or exa mined them since he had found them. Witness had told prisoner what they were, and had taken the numbers, dates, and other particulars, down on a piece of paper, and before he went to the Bank he had looked into the newspapers for an advertisement about them, but to no effect. At the Bank they told him that if the note was bad they must keep it, and, upon looking into a book, they said that the note, which was one of those for 1001. each, had been stopped. They said that there was more of them, to which witness replied that there were, and he had got them, and they sent a person to his house, to whom he delivered them up. Mr. Bush had received a copy of the examination which had taken place before the Magistrate at Birmingham on the subject, from which it appeared that a traveller had dropped the notes, which were wrapped up in a brown paper parcel, as he was riding along Bull-street, Birmingham ; that two children picked them up, and were observed by two men, who took the parcel from the children, and went away with it. Mr. Bush wished the prisoner to be handed over to the custody of a Birmingham policeman, who had a warrant for the man's apprehension. The prisoner was delivered up to the custody of the Bir mingham officer accordingly. It will be recollected that the Lord Mayor, about a fort night ago, granted a warrant against a merchant named Lewis Augustus Bennet, who ha been engaged in several heavy speculations, for havinc , committed forgery by al tering the dates of bills of lading of 1835, by which he succeeded in defrauding many capitalists of large sums of money. It appears that the fugitive had, with great ingenuity, committed forgeries on policies of insurance and other se curities, not one of which had been ever suspected to have been other than genuine until he was on his way to Ame rica. It is believed that he succeeded to the amount of between 40,0001. and 50,0001., and that he carried away from 15,0001. to 20,0001. A French commercial house lost between 3,0001. and 4,0001. by him. Roe's pursuit ended at Liverpool, but measures have, we understand, been taken by the parties who have been the sufferers, to inter fere with Bennet's enjoyment of this extensive and injurious robbery. An old engineer, named Graham, who had been for, many years in the East India C om p any ' s serv i ce, app li e d to t h e Lord Mayor in a great fright, to help him to recover an old pocket-book, containing ord ers upon th e T reasury , an d u p o n the East India Company, f or money amount i ng t o 1,5301. He had, he said, just come from India with the property, i u pon the nterest of which, and his half-pay, he intended to make himself comfortable for the rest of his life, and he re gularly placed his pocket-book, upon going to bed every night, between the bed and the mattrass, in the public-house in which he had taken up his abode. He, however, on that morning, accidentally left his pocket-book behind him on the tab le of hi s b e d room , an d upon return i n g, in a very. short time, missed it, and could get no account of it. Police Sergeant Tebbet, who was directed by the Lord Mayor to assist the old man, immediately caused payment of the orders to be stopped, and proceeded to examine the bedroom, after having made inquiry amongst the servants. Upon examination of the bed and mattrass, after the row had been made, the officer pulled out the pocket-bo o k f rom between them, and th e L or d Mayor advised the owner to get out of London as fast as he could with his treasure. Graham was so impatient to escape from the dangers of London, that he begged his Lordship would do him the honour to transmit it to Ireland after him, and declared that he would cut the metropolis at once. The plunder committed in various ways in the City of late has amounted to an enormous sum. One great rob bery, a most scandalous one, was effected by means of for gery committed by a trustee to a large sum of money ; another, to the proceedings in which publicity has not yet been given, was committed by a clerk upon his employer. The sum for which the trustee risked his neck by forging the names of his two co-trustees was 7,8001. in the Three per Cent. Consols. Report says that the amount has been paid back by his friends. G UILDHALL. Yesterday, a young man named John Pilgrim, was brought before Mr. Alderman WILSON, charged with res cuing a felon, an offence which subjects the party commit ting it to the same punishment as would have awaited the person rescued if he had been convicted. The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial: HATTON-GARDEN. A TAKE-IN.—On Tuesday a well-looking woman, of re spectable appearance, entered this office, accompanied by her mother, to apply for a warrant against a middle-aged man, of dandified appearance, who forced his way into Court, and also claimed the protection of Mr. Conant, who presided in the absence of Mr. Rogers. The young woman stated that her father was a respect able bricklayer, residing in the neighbourhood of Penton ville, and he brought her up to the dress-making business. A few months ago she accidentally met with the man who followed her into Court, who paid his addresses to her, and swore that " he loved her better than woman was ever loved," and used every artifice to convince her of the sin cerity of his views, and she was at length induced to intro duce him to her parents, who sanctioned his visits and ad dresses, under the impression that he was a respectable character. He was in the habit of driving about the town in a gig, taking her to Vauxhall-gardens, theatres, con certs, balls and assemblies, exhibiting rings on his fingers' a watch-guard, and frequently displaying his quizzing-glass' with all the air of a man of consequence, and she was so much imposed upon by his " show of dignity," that she ac tually thought she was to become the wife of a man of property. But before the honey moon was over, she dis covered that she had become the bride of a man who had not the means of supporting himself, but wished to exist on the profits of her industry, and she become so indignant that she determined on leaving him, and returning to her parental roof. Ever since she had quitted him, he was in the habit of annoying her and her family. Mr. CONANT said it was a very hard case, but he could not interfere. He would advise an amicable arrangement. Applicant (energetically)—No, never ; I have been taken in, and I never can live with him. lam an excellent dress maker, and can get my own living. I would rather die in a ditch. Husband (crying)-0 don't say so, my dear ; I love you, I would die for you ; all I want is for you to live with me. —(Laughter.) Mr. CONANT—Pray what are you ? Husband—l am a tailor, your Worship. Wife—Then you are no man : but you are not a tailor. —(Laughter.) Husband—The fact is, it is all through her mother, who wishes to send her out, and live upon her degradation. The mother indignantly repelled this accusation, and said that her father had some property and houses to leave her, and her husband was aiming at the possession of them, but he should neither have them nor her daughter. Husband (still crying)—She has employed a young man whom she likes better to give me a thrashing, and I want a warrant.—(Laughter.) Wife—You know that that gold pin in your breast be longs to me. Husband—No, my love, you know I paid a shilling to get it mended.—(lncreased laughter.) Mr. CONANT asked what sort of articles were pledged ? Wife—Shirts, handkerchiefs, and p a t c h w o r k, &c.— __ . (Laughter.) He cut about in such a flashy way that thought he was a gentleman. Mr. CONANT would not grant a warrant, and they left the office, the husband sobbing, and begging of her to re turn with him, but she rejected him with contempt, vowing never to live with him again. Yesterday morning the husband again came to the office and applied for a warrant against a man for having assaulted him. He stated that he was returning borne on Tuesday evening when he was beset by seven or eight persons, when one of them named Atchford " pitched into him," and gave him a thrashifig. Mr. ROGERS granted the warrant, and the applicant, when about to be sworn, was nearly five minutes pulling off a tight kid glove in the most apish manner. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Louis Bernoit was yesterday brought up for final exa mination, charged with having stolen a brilliant, value 31. 10s., from the shop of Messrs. Williams and Catch poole, jewellers, Regent-street. The witnesses in the case were bound over to pro secute. Some of the jewellers who were present complained that it was of very little use putting themselves to the trouble of prosecuting those foreigners who committed de predations upon them, for even if they succeeded in get ting a well-deserved verdict of transportation for life, the convicted party, by some piece of good luck, might be seen in a few weeks afterwards walking about the streets of the metropolis. THAMES OFFICE. yesterday Captain Thomas Clark, the Master of the brig William from Sydney, was summoned before Mr. BAL LANTINE and Mr. BRODERIP, charged under the second clause of the Merchant Seamen's Act, sth and 6th of William IV. cap. 11, with taking on board a seaman without first entering into an agreement in writing, speci fying what monthly wages be was to be paid, the capacity in which be was to act, and the nature of the voyage in which the ship was intended to be employed, by which he had incurred a penalty of not less than 51., and not exceeding 101. Mr. PELHAM, for the prosecution, said the Legislature had very wisely enacted that the master of every British merchantman should enter into a written agreement with every seaman he took out. This wholesome enactment had not been complied with by the defendant, who, after making a verbal agreement with his steward to pay him 21. 15s. per month, refused to pay him more than 21. 10s. Robert Pollock was called, who stated that he shipped on board the William, as steward and able seamen, on the 9th of March, 1836. The agreement was a verbal one, and he signed no articles. The captain promised to pay him 21. 15s. per month, but he could obtain no more than 21. I Is. from him. In answer to questions, he said he had been in business at Sydney, and the captain sought him, and said he had re ceived such an excellent account of him, that he wished to engage him as steward on the voyage home. He declined going in consequence of the shortness of the notiee, as only one day was given him to prepare, but he subsequently saw the captain again, and agreed to go with him. The mate of the ship, for the defence, said that Pollock came alongside, and solicited the situation of steward, but admitted that they were without one when he was en gaged, the steward who went out having been dismissed at Sydney. Mr. PELIIAM—Did he not do his duty satisfactorily ? _ _ The mate said the steward did not do his duty very satisfactorily, for he refused to appear on deck when it rained, and refused to take the doctor's stuff when he was sick. Mr. BALLANTINE—You should have shipped an um brella for him.—(Loud laughter.) How was it he would not take physic ? Mr. PELHAM—He had been a druggist in Sydney, and did not like to take his own drugs.—(A laugh.) Mr. BALLANTINE said the law had beon violated, and he convicted Captain Clark in the penalty of .5/. and costs. As it was the first case under the Act, he was very sorry his decision could not be appealed against. Mr.PELHam—Your. d ec i s i on , Si r , w ill c h ec k a grow ing evil, and much fraud on seamen. BANKRUPTCY. —W e have great pleasure in inform ing the Trade of Brighton that through the indefatigable per sonal exertions of Captain Pechell, the Lord Chancellor has been induced to abolish the late ill-assorted list of Commis sioners appointed t o act i n B an k ruptcy matters i n this division of the district, substituting a new list. As we never like to do things by halves, we beg to call his attention to another deep-rooted abuse in the same department of the law, which requires that the holding of every meeting in Bankruptcy shall be advertised in the London Gazette. Few persons ever see the London Gazette—not a single copy of which is taken in in Brighton, although its population now borders on 50,000 persons.—Brighton Guardian. I IARRIAGES.—According to a return recently made by order of the House of Commons, it appears that in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, during the year 1835, eight hundred and ninety-six marriages were solemnized ; 219 by license, and 677 by banns.

At the Hull Police Court last week a person named Forster, who had been summoned by his apprentice for non payment of wages, resisted the serving of a warrant which had been issued, by seizing a pistol, which on examination was found to be loaded and ready capped. The officer succeeded in wresting the weapon from Foster, who was held to bail. Hull Observer. PRIOR PARK COLLEGE.—The bigots at Bath it seems are trying to get up a no- Popery cry, for the very bene volent and exceedingly charitable purpose of preventing per sons Prom subscribing towards the rebuilding of the mansion which was lately so nearly destroyed by fire. The Bath Chro. nicle all but excommunicates those who may subscribe, and has set up a sectarian scream of horror most intolerant and hide ously orthodox. Letters from Pesth state the death of Prince Gregorie Soutzs, father of the Greek Ambassador to the Court of Russia, who had fallen a ♦ictim to the cholera. He had been interred with great pomp. PARIS THEATRICALS. A vaudeville has been brought out in Paris, entitled Mts. Siddons, the story . of which is sufficiently ridiculous when we remember who and what was the heroine. It 15 somewhat as follows :—Lord Melville is the husband of a very, beautiful, but a very unhappy woman. He neglects her. They have scarcely arrived at one place before lus caprice takes them off to'another. They have just arrived at Bath, but must needs quit the beautiful city for a tour on the Continent. They have been married too young , and all the follies which should have preceded his Lord ship's marriage are following it, to the cost of his dear littl e wife. At this time he is attached to the chariot wheels of an intriguing Italian ; but, besides this, he has a real pas sion of the heart for another. At Bath he had occasion to defend a fair bather against the rudeness of some officers; His gallantry leads to a duel, in which he is wounded. An d what cares and kind offices did she whom he had Pro' tected not show while she attended his sick bed for a period of six weeks ! The fair one whom he loved so ten derly, and by whom he believed himself beloved in return , had suddenly disappeared, and it was for the purpose of at tempting to forget his loss that he now wished to lea? England. Suddenly a friend and protege of her ladys l 4, arrives, and w h o s h ou ld it b e b ut t h e un k nown b eau ty 0 ' Bath—Mrs. Siddons, the companion of Lady Melville'su r fancy, wh om th e l oss o f h er h us b an d , an d f am il y difficulties, have driven to embrace the profession of the stage, although on the stage, however, she maintains a high character (here is one point of resemblance at least), and Lady Melville continues her friend. Lord Melville defers his departure until he at length runs away with Mrs. Siddons instead of the Italian. Subsequently she is introduced to the audience as a gay London coquette, but nothing worse. What cer' rect ideas the author of this vaudeville must have of ou r great tragic actress, to draw such a character with such a name ! BALA EISTEDDFOD. On Tuesday the Bards and Ovids opened the Eisteddfo d by reading the usual proclamation in English and Webb' They then proceeded to the spacious room over the Tuv i .„ ll Hall, when afte r P enn illi on s i ng i ng w i th the harp, Mr. I"' Griffith, of Carnarvon, announced the, judgment upon th e following compositions, and the following premium s awarded : 1.
