.lad received it had been ruined, and estate after esta'e had been been thrown out of cultivation.: Now, although they had' received a partial compensation , for their la bourer* they.had received none for the. loSs of. their estates. But, setting aside the justice of the question— , looking at it merely as a . question of sugar—nothing could be more impolitic than to sacrifice the West India ..colonies. /he supply of sugar from the West Indies amounted to one-sixth of the whole supply of Europe. What a rise then would take place in the price of sugar i f these colonies .were destroyed. The true policy of . this country, having this fine national estate on the other _sideof the Atlantic, was, even at a temporary sacrifice, to -, nurse it and carry it through its difficulties, to aid it, if necessary,: with. funds and credit, and, above all, to as , sist with labour. If thef,wished for colonial prosperity— if they wished for an increased production of sugar—if . they wished to extinguish slavery and the slave-trade, . they should assist the colonies with free labour. A great experiment had been tried in those colonies—that ex - periment had succeeded, as far as the export of the labourers were concerned ; but if they looked beyond the colonies—if they looked to the negroes in other parts of the world—unless they could satisfy the inhabitants of slave countries that the colonial proprietors themselves were in a prosperous:state— they.would not convince them . that the experinient had succeeded. He hoped the Go , Ternment was prepares! to take a bold and decisive step to supply. the colonies with free labour. They must take the question boldly by the hand, and look it in the face. - —(A laugh.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had attempted to throw the whole blame of the slave trade on the colonies, end attempted to take it off the shoulders of the mother country. It was, .however, the mother country which had forced the slave trade on the colonies, even at the time.that. the colonies had been desirous to discontinue it. _The Honourable Gentleman. had talked , loudly of the nefariousness of this traffic ; let - the . House beware of . taking any step to give th a t . nefarious . traf fi c increased activity.—(Loud cheers.) If the House agreed to the resolution proposed by his Hon. Friend, the Member for Dumfries, they must in evitably giVe increased activity to the slave trade. There , was evidence to, prove that the refusal 'of England to take slave-grown - sugar had materially assisted our cruizers in. putting, down the slave trade—the trade had stagnated in consequence ; but if they acceded to this • proposition, although it might double the number of the cruizers,, the slave-trade would to doubled. With re . Bard to the proposition of the Government, he feared that • unless, they, took early, steps to promote the cultivating , sugar in our cobanies, they would by exhausting the supply of free-labour sugar give pro (onto an impetus to ',. the slave trade. Before he sat down.he would take the • liberty of, recommending to the Government to give to the West India colOnists the same advantages as' they had given to the. Canadians—to confer upon them the credit and confidence - of the mother country, a nd t o ad vance the m,. if requisite, pecuniary assistance. Not only . were - the West Indies. an integral portion of the empire, • but &most important and essential portion of it, and by . . timely assistance of this eature they would not only materially assist the,West Indian growers, bnt conciliate . the sympathy and, 'confidence of all the colonists. This step would likewi se ena bl e t h em to supply sugar at a very reedereto rate of duty. _lle threw out these sug-• gestions for the consideration of-the Governme n t, an d ' _ hoped they would not be entirely disregarded. • • Mr. WARBURTON would not have risen but for the last observations ,of the Noble. Lord. He was entirely . opposed to making .any advance to the West Indians in the shape of a Item,. and hoped some member.,of the Government would.at. once express the opinion of the, Ministry to the.earne,effect. . It was.urged that - the West Indians %ere, under the existing rate of duty, in a most .destitute conditien. Thep,. as no case could be made out . for th m e --as they were as bad as they could , be—where ' • , was, theefee,,of-contineing to ,sacrifice the interests of the _ . people of this country,totheir.pretended advantage?

Mr. 11, YORKE protested, against this , species of patchwork legislation. Mr. ,T.ER,RAND said that there was a rumour abroad that the Right / lion.Baronet, the Secretary,for the Home Department„,knew that the UPII, Member for.

He put it, therefore, to the klon., and Gallant M em b er Mr Brighton whether he *Quid withdraw his. motion without taking thg sense of ,the Hpuse,?, . Mr. COLVIT considered that the Committee was .most unfairly Composed, and that. it was pne which w as nOti calculated to do, justice.

The SPEAKER said ; he had no hesitatton in saying that this Bill, comparing it with other Bills of this de scription, was not a Bill so far relating to religion as to make it necessary to move a resolution in a Committee of the whole House.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. YORKE begged to submit to the Right Hon. Gentleman whether this course was not adopted with regard to the Bill for the reduction of Bisbops and the Church Leasing Bill ? After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, which did not reach us, Mr. WARBURTON said it appeared to him, that on the surface many objections might be raised to this Bill. The parties were not to meet to discuss the question of Church-rates and other matters in the parish church, but instead of this they were to meet in a room. Now, he thought that vestries ought not to meet in public houses. It had been often remarked, indeed, that pa rishioners were more liberal in voting money after din ner than before it; besides, there was not an absolute prohibition of meetings in churches, for the Bishops were empowered by the 3d clause to give a license for the holding of a meeting. He thought it would be better to prohibit such meetings altogether than to provide for their being held under the direction of a Bishop. There were 11,000 persons interested in this Bill, and as he did not suppose the Hon. Member would inform them that he had held correspondence with each of these parishes, he thought it would be better that the Chairman should report progress, in order that due notice might be given of its effect to all parties concerned. , Mr.ESCOTT concurred in th e view which had just been expressed. The second reading of the Bill was carried whilst he sat in that House paying every attention to its proceedings, but he declared that he had not the most distinct idea of the nature of its proviiions.-:--(Hear, hear.) The Bill had been originalty applied to Ireland, as well as to England, but the clause relating to Ireland had since been struck out.—(flear, hear.) Mr. JERVIS would like to know what' the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of pip.to for the Home De partment had to say in reference to this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) The first section took away from the church wardens all control over the freehold of the church and gave it to the Bishop. This was in direct opposition to the Act with respect to the select ves tries. This clause opened all select vestries and by declaring that the inhabitants : were at liberty to be present, declared that they had a right to vote. That clause rendered the people at the " Red Lion," next door to the church, liable to ecclesiastical censure. Lastly, the gentleman whO drew up the,Bill, as if not aware that Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, were subject to the jurisdiction of England, had introduced a clause, declaring that such was the case.—(Laughter.) Mr. HUME thotight that, under the circumstances, the chalianan had better report progress, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, expressed his regret that no member 9f the Government had spoken in ,reference to the Bill., It was impossible for, him to, answer the many objections which had been made to it., Some of the provisions appeared to be stringent. The Hon. and Learned Member, for Bath had asserted. that the Bill had origiaated in some squeamish scruples and exagge rated views of the party calling itself " Young England." Whether he numbered , him (Mr. Stafford O'Brien) amongst that party he could ,not say ; nut he was not so bigoted_to old usages and ancient institutions as to re fuse to concur in changes which : were necessary in the altered condition of ,the country. The Hon.. and Learned Member said, the principle of the Bill was new. Now if he might take what, he, read in the statute-book, instead of what he heard from an authority so far higher in his own estimation, than the statute book(liear, hear)—he *hould sa3r that the principle was at least thirteen years old. _He would not give up. the Bill until he had heard stronger reasons, against it than had been advanced that night. ; He did notantiCipate LIT support of her Majesty's Government. He had not lind an op portunity of c onsu lti ng t h eca in private, and to do so an public was perfectly hopeless. . - f Sir R. PEEL said he :had not .had,au opportunity of considering this Bill, but he thought ,there ,were objec-: tions to it which were worthy of. consideration. He would not, however, Aupport. any proposition which would have the effect of . crushing„ the Bill, but he would recommend his Hen. Friend to, agree, to any mo tion by which, the Bill .could come on- for consideration on afiiture day. : , Mr. MIME moved that the .Chairman report progress. Mr. ROEBUCK thought,such a Bill as this ought not to be introduced,,except with , the . authority of: the Go yernment. , , . • ! .9.ir IL PEEL said 'it was too much to ask that no MemberApuld be allowed, to bring in a Bill if he thought, proper. Mr. ACKLAND said he could not , allow the discus. sion to terminate without,expressing his thank s . t o hi s Hon. Friend the Member for Northamptonshire, for hiv ing introduced this Bill., , M. HAWES had mentioned as an inconvenience th e fact, that sufficient publicity, was not now given to the notices relating to the holding of vestries, and.. had pro posed that those notices should be, affixed to the doors of the Dissenting places of worship in .the ,parishes as well as to the churches. lie had mentioned this to the Hon. Member for Northamptonshire, who had stated .that he had ,no objection to the introduction, of a clause to re medy that evil, There was, however, one objection to the Bill, which he feared would be insuperable.—(Hear, hear.)... This measure would affect all the parishes in, England. The Hon. Gentleman was, therefore, bound to make out a case ,of general abuse in order to justify a : general ~measure. ,Now, although some few instances might have: occurred, which they .m.ust all regret, yet he doubted whether. the Hon. Gentleman could prove anything like ,such a case of abuse as would justify a general measure. - . Mr. WAWN thought that they ought rather to 'en deavour to, reheye those who were not members of the Church from ,church,rates, than to add to this tax. The House then resumed, the Chairman reported pro gress, and askPdipave,to sit again on Wednesday week. , _ , - . BIJSINBSS OF £kIE HOUSE. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Imam THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We perceive that Mr. Christie has given notice of a motion to insert a clause in the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, for admitting graduates of all the English Universities to practice in the Ecclesiastical Courts. We hope the House of Commons will agree to this reason able proposition. It would do something towards less- n ing the various mischiefs which the Bill proposes to inflict on the public, among them, that of allowing the country practitioner to unite in his single person the combined characters of proctor and attorney, and to pocket the costs of the double profession. It has been found in practice, that a business in common law and conveyancing, with occasionally a little bankruptcy, is as much as a country practitioner—deprived as he is of the opportunity of immediate reference to coun st-I.—can conveniently manage. Although fond of ap pending " solicitor " to his name, it is very unusual, except in the large towns, to practise in that branch of the law. If, then, a competent knowledge of the practice and procedure of the Court of Chancery is found incompatible with a due attention to the tech nicalities of bankruptcy and common law, we leave it to our readers to imagine what a medley of confusion will arise from this incorporation of ecclesiastical " quips, quaintnesses, hieroglyphics, and enigmas." It will be something to alleviate the mischief by a mixture of 'gentlemen who have received a liberal education. Another effect will be, that Dissenters who, on ac count of objections which have force with them, may hereafter find themselves involved in a church-rate suit, may have their interests represented, if they choose it, by counsel who have graduated at the London Uni versity, and are themselves Dissenters. We do not consider this of particular importance so far as any individual contest may be alone concerned. We have no doubt that the case of a Dissenter is as sedulously and efficiently advocated by a counsel of the most High Church principles as it would be by one of his own views. But it does not end here. It is but reasonable, it is indeed important to the general well-being and to the interests of the Establishment itself, that among the gentlemen who practise in its Courts, should be found a not inconsiderable section whose personal feelings lead them to look with jealousy on any procedure which bears hard on the Dissenters. The Church gains no thing by making martyrs. John Thorogood's range of neat cottages at Chelmsford, built with the proceeds of a subscription raised by his sympathisers, and, quaintly enough, called after the churchwardens who imprisoned him, settles this point. The severity of his punishment has not more deeply impressed the good people of Chelmsford, or the generality of the commu • nity, in favour of the Establishment. We may, there fore, take it for granted that the Church will maintain its ground with more ease to itself, and advantage to the public, by cultivating peace with the Dissenters, and by divesting collision, where collision is unavoidable, so far as possible;of its present irritating character. Now we all know the influence of the bar upon the adminis tration of the laW, and even upon legislation. While the, administration of ecclesiastical law is entrusted to a body, the entire of whom are, if not hostile, at least alien to the feelings of Dissenters, nothing can be more certain than that, as against them, much un necessary hardship and irritation is unavoidable. When a Dissenter has pleaded his own cause, he has frequently damaged it by a woful ignorance of ecclesiastical ,practice. Where he has confided it to counsel, however eminent, the strictly legal points of the case have alone been _brought before the Court. When the judge has pronounced sentence it decides against a course of conduct which 'the very counsel who defended it was unable to appreciate or even understand, and With which, therefore, he could not sympathise. FeW as May be the parties whom defeat leaves satis ffed with the justice of other courts, it is morally im possible that, as things are at present consitituted, a ,DisSenter should ever be satisfied with the justice of the courts' ecclesiastical.' - He looks now to an adverse de cision, and his consequent imprisonment, as the last links in 'the chain of oppreision. His enemies, he thinks, haVe then done their worst ; and he naturally resolves that when that worst is ended, he will do his. Upon the unhappy effect, as to both parties, we will not com ment. We trust the House of Commons will consent, to the intreatiction of - Mr. - Christie's clause into the Bill. We cannot but believe that the hardships.of the existing law, so far ,as regards Dissenters, would be mitigated by it, and we hope ultimately reformed altogether, by the - admission of Dissenters into the ecclesiastical courts. It might prodnee a series of improvements, like many of the ChanCery orders of the last sixteen years. Pro- Mulged like them, after being subjected to the careful 'scrutiny of the leading members of the profession, the practice would receive many ameliorations, which no Act of Parliament can be expected to effect. Were the !it - iv thus made Certain, rather than harsh, and prompt in decision rather than oppressively expensive, a different spirit would speedily be imparted to these contests. The effect would be similar in kind to that which the cha racter of an eminent minister of the Establishment is kneWn to have prodUCed—Who, for his fervent piety and a'tolerance so ample that he is probably unconscious of its influence, has been repeatedly characterised as " the most dangerous enemy with whom Dissent has had to deal" STANDARD.---The intelligence brought by the Queen of the West, which left New York on the 21st ult, developes a little more fully the projected policy of Governor Tyler, in reference to the annexation of Texas. The President has made, upon the demand of the senate, a communication, from which it appears that, anticipating no difficulty at home to the final ratifica tion of the late treaty, he had prepared for a war with Meiico as the immediate consequence of the arrange ment, ordering a fleet to the Mexican Gulf, and an army to the frontier. This is the President's own account of the affair, but Mr. Tyler must be a very weak man if it, is. a true account. None but a very weak man could so much miscalculate the feelings. of the Senate to ,say nothing of the interests of the whole re public, as to fancy that the treaty would not be ob structed; and, under that delusion, to present belligerent preparations, justifying the obstruction, and making his government ridiculous. , A. solution of the affair more respectful to Mr. Tyler's understanding, if net to his ,honesty, is the hypothesis that be sought to provoke a, quarrel_ with Mexico by martial display, ,the,effect of which would be to enforce the success of his darling .scheme, of annexation ; for though a war might not, necessarily follow the final rati lcation of the late treaty, it is very cer tain, that all parties in the United States would, agree to , a .hurried ratification, as soon as they, had heard of a single act of hostility on the part of the Mexicans., Be this, however, as it may, one fact seems to be clearly established by Mr. Tyler's Message, and that is, that whether before or after the annexation of Texas, a war with Mexico must accompany that arrangement,; and this war , will be a very serious thing. It is true that.there is apparently no proportion between the respec tive powers of ,the two, republics, but when ,climate and .a difficult country are on the side of , the , defenders, , these. will go a great way t 4)" compensate the, preponderance of numbers, and even of military qualities, on the oth er side. And then there is the slave population in the United States ; and everywhere a slave„ population is, and ought to be, the ally of the enemy of the slaveholders. The contest on the land side would there fore be by no means so inevitably favourable to the United States at. first :night appear, and though successful in the end, the United States might find that they had. made but a sort of Algeria conquest —an earnest, of future and. more perilous wars with more formidable opponents. On the side of maritime war, - again, the United States appear to possess an immense - - - superiority over Mexico, Iv - filch may be more apparent than real ; the States themselves, we believe, it was who _first set the example of very liberally lending a national flag to privateers, and even borrowing the enemy's own ports to fit out these torments of commerce. It cannot be forgotten that the so-called American privateers , by , which our commerce suffered most , in the. American revolutionary war, were in fact fitted out in British ports, and too often manned by , renegade British seamen. Now, the United States must ,expect something of the kind in a war with Mexico. The drab men of Pennsylvania would not scruple a pro. , fitable investment in the plunder of their felbw-citizens, any more than they would balk at a project for cheating their kinsmen of England. A war even with. Mexico would, in this way, annihilate the commerce of the United States ; while Mexico would. all the while become , richer and stronger, _both in resources, and alliances. The journals of the ,United States seem to have a pretty just view of the necessary effect of this disgraceful scheme of Pre sident Tyler, to entrap the • commonwealth into a ruinous war ; and some go so fax as to'eall for his im peachment. As to the impeachment, it is a matter upon which we, as foreigners, have no right to offer any opinion, further than to remark that the be ginning of, a course, of impeachments is unfortunately most dangerous in those systems of government where unfortunately impeachments arc most frequently neces sary—namely, in democracies. The case must be a strong one which authorises unsheathing the sword of justice against . a magistrate anywhere, particularly where the ma , gistrate's commission is the sole controlling influence; and yet in democracies, for this very reason, that they are subject to no rivalships of royal, aristocratical, or other traditional moral influence, magistrates are most likely to 1 , provoke , vindictive justice by abuse of their position. .The inference is, that democracy is a bad form of govern ment, that gives birth to dangerous crimes, which itself wakes-more dangerous to punish. These considerations however, apart, it is satisfactory to see that the Presi. dent's warlike and ambitious propensities are not popular in the States. , SINOFLAR PRRSERVATtON FROM DEATIL-011 the 29th ult., & boiler at South Towan mine, in the parish of Mogan, exploded while the engineman was standing on the top of it.

The further arguments in this writ of error were then pro ceeded with and occupied their Lordships the whole morning. THE SUSSEX DUKEDOM. It was generally supposed that their Lordships would have sat to-day, in a Committee fur i!rivileges, for the purpose of proceeding with the claim of Sir Augustus de Este to the Dukedom of Sussex ; but on a previous day it had been ar ranged that the matter should be adjourned to Thursday next. A rumour prevails that it is likely the subject will not come again before their Lordship s , as it is said to be the intention of her Majesty to confer on the claimant a Scotch title. We give this merely as the rumour of the day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT June 10. The VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND took causes to-day, none a which possessed any points of the least importance. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, .hunt 10, THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF MR. MICHAEL SCALES V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE SEWERS FOR THE TOWER HAMLETS. In this case Mr. Michael Scales had obtained a rule nisi for bringing -up a sewers' rate made by the Commissioners of the sewers for the Tower Hamlets, in order that it might be quashed. The grounds on Which this application had been made were—first, that he was not benefited by the sewers to which he was rated; and second, that he had never been rated to the sewers' rate untillB4l, and that he had always resisted the rate. Mr. KELLY now showed cause against the rule, and con tended, that in fact Mr. Scales did receive benefit from the sewer, but that the Court had nothing to, do with that cir cumstance, that being a question of fact to be decided by a jury upon an action of trespass, which Mr. Scales might bring against the Commissioners when they distrained tor the rate. Mr. Scales' affidavit did not set forth that the rate was bad upon the face of it, and, therefore, the Court could not interfere to quash it by certiorari. He, therefore, submitted that the rule must be discharged. Mr. SCALES, in reply, stated that, in 1829, a similar rate had been quashed by this Court, since which time no attempt had been made to impose a sewers' rate upon these premises until 1841. Further, he contended that as his premises were situated upon a tide stream, he was exempt from the jurisdic • tion of 'the Commissioners of Sewers by the Act of 3d James I. He denied that he received any benefit whatever from these sewers, inasmuch as his premises were thirty-eight feet above high-water mark, and therefore the water could never regurgitate upon his premises. The COURT took time to consider its judgment. BAIL COURT, June 10. (Before Mr. Justice WiairrAtAx.) IN THE MATTER OF HENEMAIART. Mr. Stevens, in this case, moved for .4 *lle for a certiorari to removo into Court 104 orders for the payment of 3,8211. 17s. 10d., in order that they might be quashed. One of the orders was for the payment of 7021. 10s. 7d. fbr the consta bulary force of Dover. The objection to this order was, that it purported to be signed by three Members of the Town Council, whereas, in reality, it was signed by only two, the other who signed having been a Town Councillor indeed when he signed the order, but not when the debt became d ue . ite had signed the order pros pectively, which he (Mr. S.) submitted he could not do. 'The 102 other orders related to the payment of various local expenses, and the objection to them was that they were to be paid oat of moneys not legally, applicable to the payment thereof. The remaining order related to the compensation awarded to G. W. Ledger, and the objection to it was similar to the first. • A rule nisi was granted with regard to the first and last orders, and leave was given to amendthe affidavit, which was defective, with regard to the other orders. - THE QUEEN V. HALL. Mr. CHARNOCE in this case moved for two writs of habeas corpus. The COURT said that the proper course would be to apply in Chamber upon affidavit founded on the commitment, a copy of which the defendant was entitled to, but there was no legal objection to having the proceedings removed by cer tiorari, as well as to have the prisoner removed by habeas corpus.

Wood, and that on the part of the plaintiff he. was quite sa tisfied with it. _ . Mr. Platt and Mr. James appeared for Mr. Wood. The COURT stated, that being the case, there was no neces sity for hearing the matter further, and that the arrange ment as, to the terms of the issue, as agreed to en Thursday , last, could now be adopted, and the rule drawn up accord ingly. 'The issues will then still be whether Running Rein was a colt foaled i n 1841, by the Saddle!' out of Mab, and Colonel Peel allowed to give in evidence the acts and declarations of Mr. Goodman, provided he proves • on the trial that Levi Goodman was owner, or part owner, at the time of such acts and declarations. The cause will, it is expected, be appointed for trial.by a special jury at Westminster about the first week in July. (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) FRANKLIN V, NEATR. This action was brought to recover the value of a chrono meter. In 1840 a person of the name of Gilbert, a seafaring ' man, pledged a chronometer of the estimated value of 50/. or 601. with the defendant, who is a pawnbroker, in Duke-street, Manchester-square, for 151. This person being about to leave the country for some time, and being unable to redeem the chronometer, sold the ticket tothe plaintiff, who is a nursery man at Kensington, for 5/. The plaintiff, however, could not get the chronometer into his possession, the defendant having refused to give him any satisfactory information respecting it —in short, refusing to give it up. The defendant, by his counsel, contended that the plaintiff could not sustain the action. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the jury — returned a verdict' or the plaintiff for 40/., less the amount lent by the defendant, and interest from the time" the Chronometer was pledged. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, June 10. (Sittings in Banco.) GOSLING V. BEDDER. The Court was occupied the whole day in hearing argu ments upon the rule for , a new t r i a l i n t hi s case, which in volved' only a question f accounts, and possessed' nothing of general interest. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The Sessions at the Old Bailey commenced yesterday and ore before Sir C. Marshall, Mr. Ald erman Johnson, the Recorder, The grand jury having been The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge'. He said sworn, Civic authorities. that the calendar contained the names of 300 persons for trial, and he had no doubt that number would be considerably augmented before the termination of the sessions. There' were six cases in the calendar in which parties were charged with cutting and wounding with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. There were two cases of manslaughter, and five persons were charged with the crime of wilful murder, four of those persons having been engaged in the, same trans-. action, and the other being charged upon a separate and per fectly distinct transaction., Although the cases were many eyd d serious i descripti on , y e t on a r ef erence t o the t depositionshem o not appear to involve a n y diffi cult question of law. He the n re f erre d to t h e c h arge ' of mur der against Augustus Dalmas, an d a ft er h av i ng exp l a i ne d the general principle of law with respec t t o t h e cr i me o f a very r t Y h murder, he said the most important question the jury would. have to consider in coming. to a conclusion upon this case, would be the declaration of the dying woman ; and if the jury. should find any difficulty , with respect to, this fact of the case, it would be well if they would immediately apply to the Court, and every assistance, and every information would be afforded them respecting it. There was a Case of man slaughter of some inagnitUdd, in which several persons had met their death by the upsetting of a boat. The question in this case the jury would have to consider was, whether there were more persons in the boat thanit could with safety hold ; and also whether the party who stood charged was instrumental in causing the boat to be so overloaded. If.it did appear that the unhappy event had been the result of, accident, and not of the overloading of the, boat, he apprehended that the charge of manslaughter could not be maintained. He then briefly alluded to the other cases in the calendar, and after generally explaining the duties of grand juries, remitted the jury to their labours. The Court then proceeded to swear in the common jury. There are 278 prisoners for trial, and, in all probability, 'from forty to fifty more will be committed before the grand jury are discharged. Several cases of petty larceny and misdemeanour were then disposed of, and the Court adjourned at five o'clock.. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKENWELL. Thomas Ryan, a blacksmith, residing at No. 11, Car:. rier-street, Bloomsbury, was charged with . brutally as saulting Mary, his wife. It appeared from the evidence, that on Tuesday even ing last the prisoner . came home, and upon some trifling and unfounded pretext he quarrelled with his wife and used bad language towards her. She remonstrated with him, upon which he knocked her down, and with his hob-nailed boot kicked the unfortunate woman on the liead, producing a deep and serious weund over the right eye, the flesh about which was in so inflamed and con tused a state; that the organ, was not visible. He then seized. her by the hair and dragged her like a dog abOut, the room, w hil st s h e was bl e eding from the wound. A policeman, 57 E, arrested the, prisoner, who was rescued from his custody, and the constable himself thrown headlong fr om t h e s t ree t into a cellar. The prisoner thereby escaped, and was not ,arrested until Sunday night last. Mr. GREEN WOOD s e n t en ced the prisoner to pay a fine of 54 or two months' imprisonment. William Neale was charged with violently assaulting John Osment, the landlord of the Red Lion public house, Cow-cross- s t ree t, Clerkenwell. The prisoner w as crea ting a rioiin the Red Lion on the previous night, and the landlord attempted to expel hini; when the prisoner kicked him violently in a delicate part of his person, whereby the complainant was seriously injured. ~ „A surgeon's certificate was produced, stating that the injurywas of a very severe nature, and that Mr. Osinent' was unable to attend The prisoner was remanded.: William Alexander John Chapman, a pawnbroker, re siding at 74, Turntaill-street,"Clerkenwell, was charged with receiving sixty-five fur skins : "thbut giving a 1 du plicate for the s ame the property of : ..Davis, a furrier. Anne Ballard, a poor woman,' A tliad received'. the furs to sew th em f rom Mr. `DayS,niiroved that she pawned them, but received no duplicate.—The defendant was fined 31. Charles Bingham was charged with stealing 121., the property of a•Mr. joSiah Reeve; 'a ' tailor, raiding in Leather-lane. The robbery took place'ou Friday night last, when the prosecutor, coming hoine in a state of intoxication, went to bed in the same room in which the prisoner slept with the tivelve sovereigns in his breeches-pocket. He awoke in a- few hours after, and missed the .money. The P ris°ll4r, . i was proYed, -had been Eeetrdisposingolmouey for the possession of which he could not satisfactorily account.—The prisoner was remanded. Louisa Groves, age I six, and Sarah Bennett, aged eighteen, were chared with being concerned in the rob bery of Israel Boulanger, a Frenchman, of 71. 12s. On the night of the 14th of May, the prosecutor was induced to go into a house - of ill fame, in Church-street, .St. Giles, but had not been in the room more than a few minutes, when the prisoners, another young woman named Knox, and a fellow named Johnson, came into the room. Johnson bade him deliver up his money. The prosecutor did not understand English, but, sus pecting their purpose, buttoned up his coat. Bennett and Johnson then attacked him in a ferocious manner, and the light waS extinguished. Bennett fetched a knife, which Johnson seizing, attempted to cut the prosecutor's throat. He put up his hand, to push the knife from his throat, and received a gash in the wrist. Johnson succeeded in cutting through the neckcloth, but the knife did not enter the throat. Knox and Bennett then emptied his pockets of their contents. Bennett, in the struggle, placed her hand on Boulanger's mouth, to prevent his cries for assistance from being heard. Police-constable Baker, 108 E, en tered the house just after the robbery had been perpe trated, and found the prosecutor bleeding profusely from the wound on the wrist. All the prisoners then escaped, owing to the prosecutor having been unable to commu nicate the facts in English to Baker ; they have, how ever, been apprehended since then, Johnson on a dif• ferent charge.—The prisoners were remanded. Charles Mathews was charged with having been drunk, aqd with deserting his wife and five children, whereby they became chargeable to Clerkenwell parish. It appeared from the evidence of Aldberry, clerk to the Guardians ; that five months ago, the prisoner's wife applied for relief to the parish, alleging that her husband had abandoned her, and that herself and children were utterly destitute. They were received into the work ho use, where they remained ten days and were dis charged. From the period of their discharge to the present time, the family had received parochial relief to the amount of 4s. 10d. weekly ; each time the wife appled fur it she alleged that she did not know where her husband was. It appeared, however, from the statement of the prisoner that he had been living with his family all the time, and bad c3ncealed himself whenever the relieving officer came to the house. On Saturday even ing last,,-being drunk, he went , to the workhouse and was given into custody. The prisoner admitted.that he had been at home. His wife practised the fraud at his request, in order that he might not be separated froni his family in the work house. He hoped:that whatever punishment should be inflicted would be visited on him, as he was the cause of the misrepresentation. Aldberry, however, said he would prosecute in this case, as this description of fraud had been of late very frequent in Clerkenwell parish. The husband had been at work, ' The woinan was accordingly given into custody, and the husband discharged. ' The husband again entreated that he might be punished ; he wai guilty, and he made his wife apply for relief to save their children from starving. Aldberry added that each time the woman applied for relief she told the same story about the absence of her husband. The husband, who wept loudly, entreated-of the Ma gistrate not to - send his wife to prison. His children were now in a state of starvation. . GnEuxwoon 'ordered the woman to be remanded, and thechildren to be taken care of by the parochial authorities. - • Henry Prince, • a smart, clean-looking lad, about 16, was charged'with gambling in Crawford-pamage,•ClerkenwelL Police-constable 113 G deposed that, on the previous day, he saw the prisoner playing at " heads and tails" with another boy, in Crawford-passage, Clerkenwell.

THE FRENCH RAILWAYS. • • (From the Railway Record.) ; We mentioned, in our last, that the Report of the Committee on the Orleans, Tour& and , Bordeaux Rail way Bill, drawn up by M. Dufaure, a distinguished mem ber of the Chamber, - had been presented to' the Chamber of Depatles; with no material alteration in the draft pro posed by the Minister of Public Works, except reducing the term of the lease proposed by the Minister, from 46 years 324 days to 41 year 16davi=, in accordance with the offers 'of a company; at the head of which are gen tlenien of well-known judgment and experience in all that relates to railways; foreign and domestic. We have since received an early 'official copy of the report, which fully corroborates the' -authenticity of our infortnation. It is an able and elaborate document, and in every way worthy of the high reputation of the dis tinguished reporteeof the Commission. The difference in the term is just the difference between a sinking fund of one Per cent., improved •at three per cent., or at four per cent. 'compound interest; and proves not only how carefully Chet calculations' of the Soumtssionnaires were made, but the • estimation in Which they are held by the Comnlitteo who adopted their proposal. • Besides . what relates to this particular railway, the report contains matter of nfuch• importance to all who are interested in the nevv French lines. In the first place,it most completely demonstrates, by a system of close reasoning, based upon statistical finan cial details, the impolicy, if not the- impracticability, of the complete execution - of the railways by the State, and the systeni of short leases, to what ' may be called mere carrying companiei afterwards, consequent thereupon. It states, in express terms, that only one member of the Committee was found to advocate this system, and that. the Minister of Finance (for purely financial reasons) put his' absolute veto against it. If this is not sufficiently conclusive against all hope of the short lease system being adopted, either on this line or any other, it is . to be found in the provision made in this Bill for the just possiblecase of no company pre senting themselves to take- the whole line from Orleans to Bordeauk, on the terms proposed by the Minister, modified and recommended by the Commission, and ul thn'ately fried by the Chamber. • In. that case it is provided, that the Minister 'may at the further cost of the State complete the section of the railway between Orleans and Tours, stock and work the line; but only until a company should present them selves to take the whole line to Bordeaux upon the terms definitively settled by 'the Chamber& That done, the State'to surrender the line and'all its appurtenances to 'lll6 company,' upon payment-by the , latter of the value of the upper works; and the carrying stock; to' be deter mined by arbitration. . , ' The necessity for the insertion of this provision will be at once intelligible, when' it is considered that, this year; the Minister • presents. a Bill, with out presenting any company in connection with it. - He presents, in fact, " a draft lease " for the Chambers to "peruse and settle," but without the name of the tenant. The Commission has, therefore, no official cognizance of the existence of any company. They learn from the documents laid before• them by the 3finister of Public Works, that Certain . 'parties, calling themselves a coal, pany, and alleging that they are - prepared to giye all the guarantees. personal and pecuniary, which the Minister Can require, have =Ede proposaliftelini for a: lease; but the Commission has no power to inquire, into the le galitY Of their constitution, or their financial position, and therefOre must considerthem as non-existent. It is'understood that! the discussion of the Bordeaux line will' come on immediately after the discussion now before- the Chambers/ on thd;. extraordinary _ credits, which proceed but slowly. .Tliat relating to the' vote; Algeria'alimeis expected W last three.days, as the Comnussion have reported against the VICIVS of -Govern ment. It will be probably 'before our nextpnblication.

This gives great facilities for transactions in this stock, and makes it a great favourite in the market. TOURS AND NANTES RAILWAY.—The whole' of the capital for this line, apportioned to England, was readily taken up by the privileged shareholders in the Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux Railway, without any appeal to the public at large. Both lines are equally favourites with the public, and will, most probably, be amal gamated before they are opened throughout. We have not much to add to what was stated last week about the progress of the Bills now before the French Chambers. The Paris and Dijon Bill is re ported, with a recommendation that the Minister should amend his project by the additon of a branch to Troyes, and the further extension to Lyons; and a proportionate increase of the grant of funds. As relates to the Lyons and Avignon line, the Minister of Public Works stated, in reply to the Hon. M. Berryer, that the reason why he did not present a Bill for this line was the impossi bility of entertaining the proposal of the Company, as being incompatible with the law of June, 1842. They asked only to have the land given them by the State, and they would do all the rest at their own cost and charge, upon a lease of seventy years. We should say there never was the slightest chance of such a pro posal being entertained, while the corps of Fonts et Chaussees, have so much influence as at present. They will never tolerate the construction of the works of any of the French railways by any other than themselves. They will keep this, since they cannot have the work ing also in.their own hands. lire should say that the deposits on this' line ought to be returned immediately to the subscribers.

The charge was brought by Mr. Brook, the registrar of Hudders fi eld, and supported by -Mr.; Floyd, c l erk and superintendent registrar of. the union:who said he was not actuated by any hostile feel ings towards the Rev.' Gentleman, but. he - haiku duty to tperform, and he would. as soon. have.brought the Vicar, - had he so offended. Mr. Trappes explained, that the captain of the regiment. told him that it,vropla not be necessary to register a soldier ;, he .however had no de sire to evade the law, and would not offend in future. al a tcaptaitri. who accompanied the •Rev. Gentleman, said he had always understood it was not necessary, and 'the - magistrates . therefore mitigated the penalty to a , mere nominal amount.—Leeds Tunes. „ Sunday morning, about half-past ten,. a woman, having the appetzance of a respectable xnechanic'swife, threw herself: off Westminster-bridge, near the fourth arch, abd perished, attempts having. been in vain made to: save her by a policeman. .She,clid not rise to the surface of the water.
