portance with regard to Railway Bills now before the House, and those which would come before it next session, that the intentions of Parliament should be known with respect to their future legislation on railways, he proposed that they should proceed with the Bill during the prevent session. With regard to the Savings' Banks Bill and the Land Tax Commissioner Bill, his Right Hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would proceed with these Bills. With regard to the County Courts Bill, he would rather postpone making any final announcement upon it, till this day-week, by which time he expected that the opinion of the House of Lords would be made known with regard to two Bills now before them. The Superior Courts Common Law Bill, and the Small Debts Bill were not Bills of which her Majesty's Government had charge, but which the Honourable and Learned Member for Chester had under his care. The Chaplains to Hospitals (Ireland) Bill, and the Courts of Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill, were Bills under the charge of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, the Member for the City of Cork, and which he, therefore, could not be responsible for. With regard to the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, he had to announce on the part of her Majesty's Government that it was not their intention to proceed with this Bill— (Hear)—as from the mass of business before the House, and the opposition which the Bill was likely to receive, seeing they had not yet passed the first clause through Committee, it was notlikely that they could pass it during the present session ; it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to proceed with the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, and also with the Copyholds En franchisement Bill. The next five Bills it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to proceed with the Customs' Duties Bill, the Bank of England Chart a. Bill (to the bringing up of the report of which this evening he hoped there would be no opposition)—(Hear, hear) —he must say that lie met with no persevering or factious opposition to this Bill ; it was fully discussed, and from his experience of the manner in which the opposition to the Bill had been conducted, he had every reason to hope that the second stage of the Bill would be allowed to pass without discussion. They proposed to proceed with the Education Bill, the Linen Manufactures (Ireland) ' Bill, and the Charitable Loan Societies (Ireland) Bill ; the Aliens Bill, he believed, was under the charge of the Hon. Member for Gateshead. Her Majesty's Govern ment proposed to proceed with the Protection of Purchasers (Ireland) Bill, and also with the Co lonial Postage Bill. The number of these Bills was large, but still he hoped that they were not likely to lead to any serious opposition. There was one Bill ready to be introduced which was of importance as a corollary to the Bank Charter Bill, and which it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to pro ceed with—that was a Bill to establish new regulations for such joint-stock banks as might hereafter be established. It would not apply to existing companies, but would be merely prospective in its operation. There was also a Bill of considerable importance, which was not as yet under the consideration of the House, and which it was the intention of the Government to introduce, and that was a Bill founded on the report of the Meet Committee appointed to consider the manner in which the House exercised its jurisdiction with regard to contested elections. That Committee had consisted of gen tlemen who had been appointed on account of their extensive acquaintance with the subject, and in the report it had suggested certain alterations in the existing law. Therefore the principle of the Bill had already been for some time before the House. It was the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill founded on the recommendations of that Committee, and his Noble Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancas ter, who had been a Member of the Committee, would propose a Bill to carry the recommendations of the Committee into effect. lie had now gone through the various Bills, and had stated the intentions of the Go vernment with respect to each Bill. At the same time he must reserve to himself the power of modifying the de claration which he had just made according to the progress which the respective Bills with which the Government was determined to proceed might make in the House. Colonel RAWDON said there was one Bill of great importance to the North of Ireland, to which the Right lion. Baronet had not alluded, and which was not yet before the House—he meant the Presbyterian Marriage Bill. He should be glad to know the intentions of the Government with respect to that measure? Sir ROBERT PEEL said that as a general rule he thought it was better that he should not allude to mea sures which were not before the House. The measure to which the Right Honourable and Gallant Mem ber had alluded, however, was one of so much importance that lie felt it his duty to deviate from the rule, and to state that it was the intention of the Government to persevere with the measure, which he thought would give entire satisfaction to the parties concerned; and he hoped another session would not pass without that measure becoming the law of the land. After a few words from Mr. WODEHOUSE, which were inaudible in the gallery, Mr. FRENCH asked if it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to persevere with the Com mon Law Courts (Ireland) Bill ? Sir R. PEEL said his Right lion. Friend would give an answer to-morrow. Mr. J. BRIGHT wished to know if the House was to understand that no Bill of any importance, other than those which had been mentioned to-night, would be in troduced this session. Last year a most important Bill, the Chelsea Pensioners' Bill, had been introduced at the close of the session. Sir R. PEEL replied, that if he were to answer the ques tion literally, he should answer that there were other Bills to be introduced, fur instance the Appropriation Bill- (A laugh)—the introduction of which, he thought, would give general satisfaction, as indicative of the approach of the close of the session; but if the Hon. Gentleman asked if the Government contemplated the introduction of any measure of importance, he would reply that they did not. Yet still he would not pledge himself not to introduce any measure of importance, if circumstances should arise to render it necessary. Messengers from the Lords brought down certain Bills, which were laid on the table. Mr. MACAULAY reminded the Right lion. Gentle man, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, that he had expressed his intention of introducing a Bill for the regulation of the medical profession during the present session, in order that it might be laid on the table, and that the profession might have an opportunity of considering it during the recess. He wished to know if it was the intention of the Right Hon. Baronet to introduce the Bill ? _ . • _ _ Sir J. GRAHAM hal frequently given notice of his intention to introduce the Bill. Ile did not wish, how ever, to make that motion without stating in detail the piovisions of the measure. It was his intention, before the close of the session, to ask leave to lay that Bill on the tabl and he wouid take that opportunity of stating that before the close of the session he should also move fur leave to bring in a Bill on the subject of the law of settlement, which he would lay on the table, in order to give time fur its consideration during the recess. kr. FERRAND wished to ask the - Right llon. Ba ronet at the head of the Government whether he posi tively intended to proceed with the New Poor-law Bill? Sir R. PEEL - said he proposed that the third reading o F the Bank Bill should be taken on Thursday next, and tin t the New Poor-law Bill should be proceeded with on Fri lay. In case the Bank Bill and the New Poor-law Bill were disposed of on Friday, he proposed that the Railmays Bills should have precedence on Monday. IRISH REGISTRATION BELL. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Irish Registration Bill being read, Mr. DUNCOMBE said, as an English Member, he rose to protest against this most enor mous waste of time ; more especially as they were about to establish a precedent which was unknown in the proceedings of that House. He was not going to discuss the merits of this Bill. What he complained of Ivas, that after the Right Honourable Baronet h 2, d withdrawn three or four important Bills, he asked them to proceed with a Bill which could not pass throiugh its stages in the present session. He had looked over the journals of the House, and he could not find any other instance of a Minister of the Crown dragging his supporters through the mire, as the E.igi t Hon. Baronet was about to do again—(Hear) -fur the purpose of having a Bill read a second time, and then saying to those supporters, " You may now go about your business ; I do not want your votes or your and any longer, as we do not mean to proceed any further with the measure." Did they mean, when it was proposed that the Bill should be read a second time that day six mouths, to accede to the proposition ?—(" Hear, hear," from Mr. Sheil.) The people of Ireland would consider this an additional insult to that already inflicted upon that country. He had received a letter on Friday from a gentleman connected with Ire land, and who was now at the bead of the Repeal Association, entreating him to use all his influence English Members to prevent the people. of Ireland from being insulted by the second reading of this Bill. lie was asked not to allow the Bill to be dis cussed in the absence of the Hon. Member for Kil kenny and the Hon. Member for Cork, the latter of whom represented a constituency consisting of about 700,000 inhabitants. They had just heard that a magis trate had been reinstated in the commission of the peace in compliance with the requisition of 2,245 inhabitants of Cork. Why, then, did they wish to proccei with that Bill, which was an insult to the people of Ireland ? The Right Hon Baronet said the other evening that he wanted to ascertain what were the opinions and feel ings of the Irish Members with respect to this Bill. Why did he not know them at that moment? If they wanted to know the opinion of the Irish people, let them read their petitions, asking the House to reject the Bill ; or let them read the opinions of the Mayors of the different Corporations of th a t Country. Although they had an immense amount of ,usiness to transact, yet they proposed wasting Another evening in discussing the obnoxious clauses of a Bill that was not to be carried on. He would be no party to such a discussion, and he would now take the sense of the House, as to whether its time 'was to be wasted in a discussion that could have no practical result. He should not ask the house to give any opinion one _ way or .a nother on the merits or demerits of the Bill the only ;question he should submit was, whether they would allow the public time to be wasted in a futile discussion on the motion for the second reading. He therefore moved as an ;amendment that the House do proceed with the other orders of the day.—(flear, hear.) The question having been put, Sir IL PEEL said, with respect to the period of the session at which the Bill was proposed, he begged to observe that the second reading of the Bill _was fixed, at a period when it would have been com petent for the Hon. Member for Cork to be in his _place, rind that he postponed the second reading at the express wish of the gentlemen at the other side connected with Ireland.—(llear, hear.) He believed - the second reading was fixed for the first day after the Easter recess. That Bill provided the same general system of registration for Ireland that prevailed in England, and it was important that her Majesty's Government should know whether the House approved the principle. The Bill provided a new franchise,_and he must, therefore, perse vere in asking the House to pronounce its opinion on the principle of the measure, reserving themselves as to details. He believed if the Government had abandoned the Bill on the former occasion, they would have been taunted then with offering an insult to Ireland. He hoped the House would not consent to the motion of the Hon. Member, but that it would allow her Majesty's Government to have the sense of the House and the opinions of Members connected with Ireland, on this Bill. Mr. V. SMITH said he had no doubt that the Govern ment was asked to postpone the second reading of the Bill. But that was not the question raised by the Hon. Member for Finsbury ; the question was whether it was fair to ask the House to enter into a discussion which could be of no use ? The Bill had been printed and circulated, and had excited great dissatisfaction in the country to which it was to be applied. Every information with respect to the Bill had been given. The advice he should tender to the Irish Members was that they should not say a word on the subject of the Bill— (Hear, hear)—for, if they should pledge themselves to any part of the measure, and next session think proper to vote against it, they would certainly be " Hansarded" out of their opinions.—(Cheers and laughter.) They had made no progress with the County Courts Bill, with the Poor-law Bill, and there were complaints from the country gentlemen, loud upon this side of the House, and, if not loud, deep upon the other, at being kept in town from their magisterial business to attend a useless discussion. Lord ELIOT called upon the Hon. Gentleman to state what clauses in the Bill were an insult to Ireland, The object was to increase their franchise and not di minish it. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL had come to the House pre pared to discuss the Bill. He came there not to defend statements made out of the House, but in discharge of his duty as a Member of Parliament. The Government had ruled that House during the present session with such a rod of iron that it had not occurred to him that the course that had been adopted would be pursued. The Bill, instead of being a benefit, would be a great injury to Ireland. He thought the best course would be for some deputation to attend the Right Hon. Gentle man out of the House, and to state to him their objec tions to the measure. He thought he should best con sult the interests of all parties if he voted with his Hon. Friend the Member for Finsbury for proceeding with the other orders of the day. Mr. VILLIERS STUART thought it would be use less to discuss the Bill now. Mr. SHELL considered that it was to regretted that the Bill had not been brought forward at an earlier period of the session. The Government had allowed three years to pass without bringing the subject forward. Last year they were told that the registration of arms was of much more importance than the registration of electors. If the Government were really . anxious to know the opinion of Hon. Members with respect to this Bill, he thought there could be no harm in their entering into the discussion of the measure. Mr. BERNAL said that they were called upon to do something more than have an amicable discussion. They were called upon to discuss a Bill that they had been told would not pass daring the present session. What advantage could the Right ' Hon, Baronet derive from this discussion, for many of the Irish Members had declared that they would not be present during the discussion, and therefore he could not by possibility obtain the opinion of the Irish Members? Mr. SHAW thought it would be better not to provoke angry discussions on the subject, when the measure was not to be brought forward during the present session. Lord PALMERSTON thought it more expedient not to proceed with the discussion on the second reading of the Bill, as it was likely to create a warm discussion, to use the lightest term, and there was no use of raising party spirit, unless it produced some practical and useful result.—(Laughter.) The course which the Government proposed was as unusal one. There were two courses ge nerally adopted ; one was to read a Bill a first time, and then allow it to stand over, that the sense of the coun - try might be expressed upon it ; another course was to bring in a Bill, and to discuss the principle of it on the second reading, the details were then discussed in Com mittee, and after being committed, it was allowed to stand over until the next session. Such a course was in. telligible, but he could not understand upon what prin ciple the House should be called on to waste one or two evenings in angry discussion upon the details of a Bill upon the second reading.—(Hear t hear.) It was incon venient, and, probably, next session, the same thing would hare to be gone through again. Very many im • portant Bills had been postponed in consequence of the advanced period of the session to which they had ar rived, and now they were about to devote one or two evenings to what could produce no result. It would be better if gentlemen would suppress their speeches and reserve them for another session. The Noble Lord op posite had spoken of the manner in which the Bill had been discussed by the Irish press. Probably during the recess the Noble Lord could arrive at the real opinion of the people of Ireland on the subject. Mr. COLLETT said that if the second reading of the Bill were proceeded with, he should take no part in the discussion, and would leave the House. Mr. C UitTEIS thought the'llight Hon. Baronet ought not to proceed with the Bill. While he was speaking there was a flash of lightning outside the House, and what was taking place within the House was rather ominous of the storm which the discussion was likely to p rod uce.—(Laugh ter.) Sir R. PEEL thought that the Hon. Gentleman had no reason to complain of a flash of lightning, as he came from an agricultural county, in which rain was so necessary. The object of her Majesty's Government in proceeding with the second reading of the Bill, was that they wished to re move some erroneous impressions which were enter tained with regard to it. When his Noble Friend intro duced the Bill, there was only a very short discussion, as it was understood that Hon. Gentlemen would have an opportunity of stating their opinions with regard to the Bill on the second reading, and removing certain objec tions made to it. If he had postponed the second read ing of the Bill, be would be told that he had offered an insult to Ireland.—(No, no.) He said so. because there was a meeting of Irish Members on Saturday to consider what course should be taken with regard to the Bill, the opposition to which was to be led by the Hon. Gentle • man opposite. If he had at once stated that it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to read the Bill a send time, gentlemen on the other side would have said that he had acted unfairly by Irish Members by de priving them of the opportunity of making statements in opposition to the measure, and by depriving the Govern ment of the opportunity of considering these objections. At the same time, if he were assured that it was the go . . neral wish of the Irish Members that the second reading should not be proceeded with, he would at once give way. If the Irish Members wished the Bill not to be discussed, he would have no objection to give way to their wish, although he would not postpone it in deference to the wish of the English Members. If he understood it was the wish of Irish Members on both sides of the House that the discussion should not take place, he would not press it. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL sail it was true that he had been present at a meeting yesterday on the subject of that Bill. It had been his intention to have spoken against tho Bill, on the ground that it took away the franchise which had been given to Ireland by the Re form Eill. He had not been aware of the intention of the Hon. Member for Finsbury until within the last half hour, and he understood the Hon. Member to protest when there were several English measures of importance before the House, against their going into an unavailing discussion on an Irish subject. Now, he must say that, every session, except during the present, Irish subjects had occupied a large portion of the time of that House; end he would also say that in ganeral Irish questions had received a fair hearing. Trusting most sincerely that in another session a measure so important would re • ceive an impartial and an attentive hearing, he would, as it appeared to be the wish of the douse that the mea sure should not be proceeded with, tote for the motion of the Right Hon. Member for Finsbury. Mr. BELLEW had been anxious that a discussion should take place, because he had thought it not im possible that the Government might avail itself of the objections of Members on that side of the House to amend the measure. He hoped that during the recess the Right Hon. Baronet would carefully consider tha objections which had been urged to the measure. He had not understood that they were to go into the de tails of the measure on the second reading. It was not usual to do so. He would, however, follow the example of the Right Hon. Member for Kildare, as the English Members did not wish to press the discussion. He hoped the Government would take advantage of the recess, to review the Bill, and to alter its provisions in such a manner as to meet the wishes of the Irish people. After a few words from Mr. Grogan, Mr. Lefroy, and Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Sir R. PEEL said he thought he was entitled to infer hat it was the predominant wish of Members connected with Ireland on both sides of the House, not to proceed with the second reading of the Irish Registration Bill, and that being the case, he would not ask them to enter into the discussion. The O'CONOR DON said he believed it was the wish, not only of Irish, but also of English Members, that this Bill mignt not be discussed in the present session. Mr. WYSE said that the greatest hostility existed against the provisions of the Bill, as they were under stood in Ireland. The franchise in Ireland ought to be dealt with, not on political or party grounds, but with a sincere desire to give a full and efficient representation to the Irish people.—(Hear.) Lord CLEMENTS said he came down to the House expecting, like many other Irish Members, to have a discussion on the provisions of this Bill, and was much disappointed that discussion had not taken place. He had come from Ireland under the impression that the Bill would have been proceeded with. Sir R. PEEL said it should be distinctly understood that it was entirely in compliance with the wish of the Irish Members that he postponed the Bill, and from no other motive. After a few words from Mr. M. O'FEnnILL and Mr. F. FRENCH, Sir R. PEEL said that the Irish Municipal Franchise Bill, as well as the Irish Registration Bill, would be post poned to next session. The other Orders of the Day were then proceeded with. The second reading of theßailways Bill was postponed to Monday next. UNLAWFUL OATHS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord ELIOT moved the second reading of the Unlaw ful Oaths (Ireland) Bill. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL suggested certain amend-. ments. The present Bill was eminently calculated to encourage informers—a dangerous race of persons, in any community—and to implicate innocent persons, as was proved by the recent trials in Ireland, in Which police men and informers were clearly convicted of the grossest perjury. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL agreed with the Hon. Gen tleman in thinking the Bill a most injudicious on e, (Grid calculated to produce the greatest social evils—g reat.er still if possible than the existence of secret societit ts. Mr. SHAW supported the Bill in its present foi Tn. Mr. T. B. C. SMITH thought the objections urged against the Bill on the other side very strong, but pet if the objectionable clauses were withdrawn, how cou Id the Goverment obtain cognisance of those illegal soci, ni es? The Government could only obtain cognisance 01'; th e existence of those societies through informers, and though he thought the greatest caution was nece es ary, in order to prevent the inculpation of innocent pe ;ons, he considered that the exercise of due discretion, c e i the part of the Executive, as well as the exemplary p iish meat which such informers would receive,would bo, ,suffi • cient to prevent the evils complained of. He mu s su p. port the Bill in its present form. Mr. BERNAL thought it very serious that a lie rson should be convicted for having a pass-word kno A ri ngly in his pocket. He thought it better that the .c/ ause should be omitted altogether. Mr. SHAW thought the word knowingly" Iva, 3 the best protection that could be given to the accus(td . If 119 could suggest another word he would do so. Sir J. GRAHAM thought that this measure was. • übso lutely necessary, and if they rejected these words i a the clause, they would reject the whole measure. Cons ider ing the quarter from which this measure emanated, the high constitutional authority by which it was supinx and the causes which led to its continuance, he entreated the House not to reject it. The object of the Bill was common to bath sides, and as it was of importance that the measure should be passed unanimously. He b oped the Hon. Gentleman would think twice before he clli;3 sided the Committee under these circumstances. Sir D. NORREYS though the Right Hon. Gentle man had very adroitly confounded a portion of the el .ause with the whole clause. As to the clause itself, the, Hon. Gentlemen on his side of the House were as much fa vour of it as gentlemen opposite, but he did not that dc it necessary that the whole clause should be reject ad , be cause there were two words which, in his opinion, ,o ught to be thrown out. Mr. ESTCOURT thought that the word " know - in gly" operated favourably for the prisoner, because it slit , wed that the me. - e possession of the pass-word was no t suffi cient to constitute guilt, but that something add it :oval must be proved. Mr. MORE O'FERRAL thought that this BM was necessary when it was introduced, but he did not; Yhink it was npcessary to the same extent now. Many e m anent persons had been convicted under the Bill. He b ;eyed there was no necessity for the Bill. He should t.) iere fore move that the Chairman now report progress. Oa the question being put, Mr. SHIL said that lie thought the possession cy f the document ought to be made evidence of the crime , and not the crime itself. Ile did not wish to shelter s ecret societies, for they were the curse of the cool ttry, no matter to what party they belonged. Lord ELIOT said that he believed the measum .e was necessary, and that he never before heard that socim t so cieties did not exist in Ireland. Mr. MORE O'FERRAL explained. _ . Sir J. GRAHAM begged tiie Committee to ren lark that the Right Hon. Gentleman had said this moo sure was necessary when the late Government had the re. sponsibilities of office, but now that her Majesty's prc sent Government was in office, the Right Hon. Gentlenaat t did not t hink it necessary. Colonel RAWDOST s lid the Right Hon. Baronet was hardly justified in throwing all the responsibility o a that side of the House.—(Hear, hear.) They had come &down for the purpose of discussing the Registration Bil'L, and they now found themse!ves en ;aged in discussi a g t h e Unlawful Oaths Bill, to which he entertained stroal ; ob jections.—(Hear, hear.) Yet they were told, when called upon to discuss tho Bill thus unexpecA edly, that if it were thrown out, they must take the responsibility. He threw back that aspersi , .in in the strongest language the forms of the 33 ouse would permit. They had heard a great deal of late about Ministerial responsibility. He must say that% after the conduct of her Majesty's Attorney-General he did not place much reliance on that responsibility., He should cordially support the Hon. Member for Kilke any. In reply to a question from Sir D. NORREYS, Sir J. GRAHAM said the Government would not consent to the proposed alteration, because they- held it would render the Bill altogether inoperative. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL could not understand -why, if that were the case, it was only proposed that the el ause should exist for one year ? After a few words from Mr. V. STUART, Sir R. PEEL begged the House to recollect the t in the present state of Ireland the Government had a sked for no new power ; all they asked for was the continua tion of the existing law as a precaution agains4; the disturbance of the public peace ; and whilst their 7 -ede cessors took this power fur five years, they only• msked for it for one year. The House then divided, when there appeared, For reporting progress 4O . 58 Againit it Majority against reporting progress —lB The Bill then passed through a Committee. PRISONERS' (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on the Pri Boner's (Scotland) Bill, Mr. WALLACE said he objected entirely to the sys tem of prison discipline now existing in Scotland. Cri minals of all kinds were subjected to the system of solitary confinement, and he believed the greatest evils arose from it. If it did good in any case, it , could only be in that of young persons. The opinion prevailed very generally throughout Scotland that the present system of prison discipline in. that country was an entire failure, and he thought tht) sub ject deserved the serious consideration of the Go►vern- meat. He hoped the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir X. Gra ham) would state whether he was aware that there were prisoners in Glasgow and other parts of Scotlr,nd who were in such a state of debility that the sentences of transportation passed upon them had never been put into execution ? Sir J. GRAHAM said he did not think that was the best occasion to discuss the general question, whether or not the system of separate confinement was the best system of prison discipline ; but certainly his experience of the prison at Pentonville led him to the conclusion that upon the whole it was an admirable system, and highly conducive to the reformation of prisoners. The case of Perth was an experiment of the same kind on a more limited scale ; and he believed his Honourable and Learned Friend, the Lord Advocate, who had considerable acquaintance with the subject, would be able to state that it was not a failure.—(Hear.) With respect to the convicts under sentence of trans portation, that was not the case of prisoners suffering long imprisonment, but the case of prisoners who had been recently convicted, and who, on examination, were found to be in such a state of health they could not bear the execution of the sentence. It was not peculiar to Scotland, but extended to this country. The evil of the expense of maintaining such prisoners was not a new one; counties had long been subjected to a similar burden. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not object to the Bill going through Committee. After a few words from Mr. P. M. STEWART, Tho Bill went through Committee ; the Chairman re ported progress, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. On the motion of Sir R. PEEL, The Report on the Bank Charter was received. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Eight. Lord Heytesbury, G.C.8., the successor of Earl De Grey in the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, is in his 65th year, and has been Ambassador at the Courts of St. Peters burgh, Naples, Madrid, and Lisbon. He was appointed Go vernor-General of India on the accession of Sir Robert Peel to office in 1834, but on the return of the Whigs in 1835, the appointment was cancelled. The Noble Lord married the daughter of the late Hon. W. H. Bouverie, grand-daughter of the first Earl of Radnor. His Lordship's son, the Hon. W. H. A. A'Conrt Holmes, who married the daughter of the late Sir Leonard Holmes, is Member for the Isle of Wight. WooLwlcir, JUNE 28.—The Rhadamanthus, steam troop-ship, Master-Commander Thomas Laen, having been employed in conveying troops from Guernsey to Hull, pro ceeded to Chatham in the early part of the week to embark troops for Ireland ; but, in consequence of some defect in her boilers, came round to Woolwich to have them repaired. She is expected to be ready for sea in three or four days, and will return to Chatham to embark troops for Cork. The Rattler was tried down the river yesterday, and went upwards of ten knots an hour, the greatest speed yet attained by the screw propeller. The Comet and Lightning, steam vessels, have had their defects made good, and, having been tried down the river, are now ready for service. The -Goodwill sailed for Chatham on Monday ; and the Falmouth arrived at Dept ford, from Devonport, on the same day. The Agincourt, hired ship, Charles H. Fuller, Surgeon Superintendent, and the Lord Auckland, hired ship, John J. Lancaster, Surgeon Superintendent, are both lying off the Dockyard, Woolwich, with detachments of the 58th Regiment on board; and each vessel is expected to receive from 240 to 250 convicts from Millbank Penitentiary, to convey them to the penal settle ments in Van Diemen's Land. RAILWAY LOA'S NOTES.—In the course of his exa mination before the Select Committee, Mr. Wyndham Hard ing, then Secretary to the Glasgow and Greenock Railway Company, etated that by a return to the House of Commons the Legmlatzire had authorised 57,000,0001. to be raised by shares, and 21,000,000/. by loans, the loans being about 33 per cent. on the share capital ; whereas in reality 21 Corn panics had expended 57 per cent. of borrowed money; and out of these 21 there had been raised by ten companies on loan 90 per cent. of the amount raised by calls. Mr. Hard-. ing's argument was, that the limitation by Parliament as to borrowing was practically evaded, was injurious to the Com panies, and ought to be removed.—Railway Record.

(Before Baron ALDERSON and a Special Jury.) WOOD V. PEEL. This trial, upon which the hopes and fears of the sporting world have been so earnestly fixed since the recent race for the Derby, and the dispute as to the legitimate claimant of the stakes, having been appointed for to-day, the Court, im mediately on its opening, was greatly crowded. Several sporting men of celebrity were in attendance, and Wens° anxiety seemed to pervade the great majority of persons present. The crowd, however, would have been consider ably greater, but for the circumstance that the Court of Ex chequer sitting also at Guildhall, a great number of persons bent their unhappy steps thitherward. The Earl of Stradbroke, the Hon. Mr. Byng, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, the Baron de Tessier, the Hon. Charles Greville, and other parties in high life, sat upon the bench. Lord G. Bentinck sat close to the Counsel for the defendant. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. James, and Mr. Lush, appeared for the plaintiff ; and the Solicitor-General, Mr. Wortley, Q.C., and Mr. Martin for the defendant. At a few minutes before ten o'clock Mr. Baron Alderson took his seat upon the bench, when the following gentlemen were sworn of the Special Jury :—Joseph Bowman, foreman ; Isaac Haywood, Charles W. Moore, Frederick Bryant, Chas. J. Cottcril, Robert Bentley, Richard Williams, William Cotes, Thomas A. H. Dickson, John T. Miller, Edward An trobus, and Henry 'Watson. Witnesses on both sides were ordered out of Court. On application to the Bench, however, Lord George Bentinck was permitted to stay, as were also the Baron de Tessier and Sir Gilbert Heathcote. Mr. Luau having stated the pleadings, Mr. COCKBURN said the question was, whether a horse called Running Rein, which won the Derby at the last Epsom Races, was a colt foaled in 1841, who se s i re was The Saddler, and hose dam was Mab. When they recollected what the Derby was—the amount of the stakes and the number of people, grave senators, lawyers, and others, who took an in terest in it—it would easily account for the importance that was attached to the present issue. The plaintiff had to con tend with individuals of great weight and station, who had very large bets depending on the result of the action, and who therefore were indefatigable and not over-scrupulous in their efforts to defeat him. The question, however, was a very simple one. It was not one of opinion, nor of science, but of fact. Indeed, it was a plain question of identity. The horse in question won the race —won it easily —won it gallantly.. This done, Colonel Peel, the owner of the second horse, objected to the stakes being paid over to the owner of Running Rein, and claimed them for himself as the owner of Orlando. According to the ordinary rules of the Jockey Club, Colonel Peel having objected to the age of the horse was bound to prove the disqualification to the satisfaction of that club. But Colonel Peel did not do this, but took refuge under the power of the law, thus throwing on the plaintiff the onus of proving the birth of the horse. Baron AeuEnsaer—The plaintiff himself undertook that— he chose his own position. Mr. CiicittEnty=And did not shrink from it. The proper qualification of the horse—its actual identity should be fully proved, not by one witness or by several witnesses— but by a whole host. In the mouth of June 1842, Mr. Cobb sent the mare Male to The Saddler where she re mained for eight days. She was taken thence to Newmar ket, and there remained till the 11th of May, when she foaled Running Rein. They were taken to a paddock at Sutton for a certain time, and then both were taken back to Newmarket. The colt was constantly attended by Kitchen. In November he was seen by a person of the name of Stebbing, who was employed by Mr. Goodman to buy up some colts for him. Mr. Stebbing soon afterwards, late in November, commissioned a person named King to go and try the foal. This was done, and he was taken to Mr. King's at Malton. He there remained from 7th September till 17th January, attended to by the same man. On that day Stebbing sent a man to bring him to York, in order to send him by railway to Mr. Goodman's stables, near London. He did so, and delivered him to a servant of Mr. Goodman's. This was the first stage in the matter, and numerous witnesses would fully sustain the identity to this point. The descrip tion of him was this :—a bay colt with a few white hairs only, and had this peculiarity, cracked heels, which the horse had now, and had when foaled. He was also wider between the cars than thorough -bred horses generally are. He was re ceived at Euston-square by Mr. Goodman and servants, and thence went for two nights to stables in Foley-place, and thence be was taken to the stables of Mr. Pearl, who would give most satisfactory testimony to them. He remained there ten days, and was thence taken to a Mr. Bean, at Finchley, to be turned out. Whilst at Bean's, he was seen by Mr. Pearl, who would corroborate the testimony, that it was the same as that which had been at his stables. Many persons saw him, all of whom would corroborate the evidence as to the identity of the horse that won, and the colt that was foaled by Mab. Whilst at Finchley, Running Rein slightly injured himself on the near fore leg, which, however, left a scar, but a very slight one indeed —enough still to assist in its identity. On the 24th September, 1842, the colt was taken from Bean's and taken to Haines's livery stables, where it remained till the 27th, and the ostler attending it would be brought before them. On that day, William Drewett, of Letherhead, fetched it away. It was then just becoming a two-year old. A trainer of the name of Smith, of Epsom, was selected by Mr. Goodman to train the horse, and Drewett was the man that took him to that person's stables. There was the clearest evidence of the transfer of the horse on the 27th of September. He was then unbacked, unbroken. On his arrival at Smith's, he was put under the care of a man of the name of Hitchcock ; of course Smith himself having his eye constantly upon him. He was seen by many persons —amongst others by the Baron de Tessier. He continued at Smith's, until February, 1843. Whilst there he was seen both by Pearl . and Bean, both of whom would distinctly identify the colt. In February some disagreement took place between Goodman and Smith, and the colt was taken away by Goodman'to Sutton, where he remained in training until the autumn of the year, when certain engagements for which he was entered, caused him to be taken to Newmarket. He (Mr. Cockburn) came now to a most important epoch—that of October, 1843. The colt was there entered for the Clear well Stakes, and for a race at the Houghton Meet ing. Before he ran for either he was entered for a two-year-old fifty pound plate, which he won, beating eleven or twelve others. After he , won, the Duke of Rutland, on the instigation of Lord George Bentinck, objected to his having the stakes, on the ground that he was a three year, and not a two year old. An inquiry took place before the three stewards, Lord Stradbroke, Mr. Greville, and Hon. George Byng. Between the race and the inquiry a fortnight took place and Lord George Bentinck, as usual, not losing a chance where anything was to be gained, sent down into Yorkshire for evidence. The matter was thoroughly gone into by the stewards of the races, and they unanimously decided in Euvour of Running Rein, and against the objection raised by the Duke of Rutland at th e i ns ti gat i on of Lord George Bentinck, who, he begged t o t e ll t h e j ury, was the real defendant in this matter, that high-minded and upright man, Col. Peel, having nothing whatever to do with it. Pending this decision he had run in the Clearwell Stakes, and he was beat en by Zenobia, a colt of Colonel Peel's. In consequence of this, tae did not run at the Houghton Meet ing, and Colonel Peel's Zenobia, walked over the course. After this, the colt was brought back to Epso m , an d M r. Goodman had fallen into very considerable embarrassments, owing, amongst other persons, a large sum to Mr. Wood. Goodman could not pay, and wanted more money, and there fore proposed to Wood to take the horse for the debt, giving him (Goodman) two hundred pounds more in cash. (At this part of the proceedings two notes were sent by individuals on the bench to counsel, and the Judge indig nantly said—" I am already in a very delicate position, and I trust no one will agaia attempt to make that position more delicate still.") . Mr. COCKBURN said he quite agreed with his Lordship in the necessity and propriety of his observations. He then proceeded to say what then was Mr. Wood's position, having Mirly bought the horse, which had undergone a fair and full examination as to his identity, and being burthened with his engagements as all horses were bought. Surely the transac tion was straightforward enough ; and yet, because some suspicion attached to certain transactions of Goodman with regard to other horses—and because certain noblemen and gentlemen (as they called themselves) had bet to an enor mous amount against the horse, Mr. Wood was now at tempted to be robbed of his gains. He spoke not of Colonel Peel—not he ; no, there was an honest man ; but let other gentlemen, and one or two certain noblemen, get into the wit ness-box—let them dare to do it, and he would turn them in side out.—(Laughter.) Why, many of these people—mem bers, aye, and high members, too, of the J oc k ey Club— h e could prove, laid heavily, enormously against R unn i ng R e i n athey were preparing a eas e t o di spu t e hi s (t proceed, however. A day or two u t a th li e fica ve ti l timeTo thproceed,c before he ran, Lord George Bentinck, Mr. Bowes, and Mr. John Scott, signed a protest against Running Rein. The stewards adopted the usual rule of .the Jockey Club, and ap pointed a time for receiving evidence-as to the identity of the horse; and they determined that he was, prima facie, quali fied to run. He did run, and he won the race. It was ob jected that the stakes should not be given up, and a further inquiry was to be instituted. Mr. Wood again prepared for it ; but Colonel Peel refused to go into it, but offered to abide by the arbitration of a barrister. This Mr. Wood declined, in his (Mr. Cockburn's) opinion, most properly. After indulging in some surmises as to the case which was to be brought for the defence, and making a bitter and most acrimonious attack upon Lord George Bentinck, who sat close behind him, the Learned Counsel concluded by saying, that even if it could be proved that Mr. Goodman had been guilty of im proprieties, he defied proof of impropriety as regarded this horse, Running Rein, and that his own client in this case (Mr. Wood) was as high-minded and as honest a man as ever lived, and one who would be the very first to scout anything like improper or unworthy conduct, whether in connexion with the turf, or with any other business or transaction in life. The following witnesses were then called and examined Thomas Lofthouse examined by Mr. JaelEs—l live at Norton, just across the bridge from Melton, in Yorkshire. I know Mr. Copp, who had a mare called Mab. I took her to Mr. Osbaldestone's to be covered by The Saddler. This was on the sth June, 1840. I saw her covered by The Sad dler. In May, 1841, she dropped her foal. I saw her with the foal in a loose box at Mr. Cobb's. The foal was a bay colour, with black legs and feet clear of white; a few white hairs on the forehead, but no s t ar. I saw t h e oal regularly, two or three times a day. I know Mr. King's, at Norton, near Malton, and there I afterwards saw the colt. I saw it remaining there till the back part of the year. It left there either in November or December. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL — I men tioned a star because I thought you might think there was a star.—(Loud laughter.) Nev er heard anybody say any thing about a star. I can't say why I a dd e d the wor d s " but no star." I thought y ou might t hi n k it was a s t ar.— (Loud laughter.) I have no other reason for saying" but no star." The colt was a smart little foal, not a very big one. I believe The Saddler has got a star upon his forehead, but I really don't know positively. I never observed anything about the colt's feet but that he was clear of white. His legs were black two or three days after birth. I did not notice whether the foal turned out the off fore-foot, but I did re mark his four black legs, John Kitching examined by Mr. Cocienume—ln the year 1840 I went to live with Mr. Cobb, at Malton. I remember his mare Mab. I remember her having a foal. I was pre sent. The foal was born in the stable, and there remained for about a week, and then with the dam went to Sutton house paddock till the autumn. I constantly looked after them in the paddock, and also when the foal was brought back to the hay-house. The foal was a bay one, black legs all the way up, a very few white hairs on the forehead ; ears did not ail much—nothing much the matter with them, I mean.—( Laughter.) In N ovember Mr. S te bbi ng came to look at the foal, and he bought it. Robert Spawnton, in the employment of Mr. King, fetched it. I went with him. We took the foal to Mr. King's, and I left it there. In October, 1843, I was applied to by Mr. Allen to go to Newmarket. He gave me money, and told me to go to Lord George Ben tinck's lodgings. went there direct on arriving at New market. His Lordship w as not at home, and his valet directed me to remain till his return. I did so. I stayed till nine o'clock, and had some bread and cheese. I was then taken to Mr. Kent's, Lord George's trainer. There I slept. In the morning I did not go out till his Lordship came, when he and another gentleman took me to the Jockey Club. I made a statement there, and I was then taken by Lord Stradbroke to the stables, where I saw a colt. I knew the colt. It was the one bred by The Saddler out of the mare. I afterwards saw the colt again a t Epsom, at the last Derby race. I was before the Steward s before the race was run. That was the same colt I had seen at Newmarket, and the same colt that was foaled from Mr. Cobb's mare. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL.-4 had had the care of horses with a farmer before I went to Mr. Cobb's. I have been in no employment since the Derby. I have been living at Mr. Glen's, the biscuit maker, in Regent- street. Mr. Gill sent me there. I have not given up my situation at York. I drive a lady out in a carriage when I am' down there. 'Mr. Gill has not promised to get inc a place. He never promised me anything. I am not to have anything for my trouble if we win the trial—not that I know of. I have never been promised 1001., and have no expectation of get ting any such sum.—(A letter was here handed to the wit ness, and the Solicitor-General desired him to read it care fully before he answered any more questiors.)—That is my handwriting. Mr. Gill did not promise to get me a place in London, or that he would try and get me one. I don't know that I am to be well paid for my trouble if we win the trial. I merely wrote that letter to pacify my father. The letter is all false—there is no truth in it. The JUDGE—Then you pacify your father by writing lies. That's the Yorkshire way of pacifying parents.---(Loud laughter.) Young man, you ought never to write lies nor to speak them. Witness—Well, Sir, I did not mean any ill. I don't re member Lord Stradbroke asking Goodman at Newmarket to let Barrow, the person with his Lordship, look at the horse's mouth. I can't say I was more than ten minutes after seeing the colt that I made up my mind it - was the colt foaled by blab. I said it was the same. I swear I said it was the same to the best of my knowledg, -, . When a foal, it was a poor shabby-looking thing. The dam was rather a bad nurse. I was with the person (Stebbing) who led the foal to King's. Stebbing is here—so also is Mr. Cobb. I don't know Mr. Watson, of Northampton. I never saw such a person. Glen, the baker, hes a house at a Queen-elms, Brompton, and it was there that I was. There was no other stranger there whilst I was. Re-examined—l remained in town with the consent of my master at York. My father was sent to London to get me away. Mr. Walker, the lawyer at Malton, sent him to get me away. My father took me to Hicks and Morris, Mr. Walker's town agents. My father als o saw M r . Gill, and he wanted to get from him a promise to get me a place, and Mr. Gill refused. Henry Stebbing examined by Mr. James—l am n train ing groom at Hamb:cdon in Yorkshire In 1841 I knew of Mr. Cobb's Mab having a foal; I first saw it in Mr. Cobb'spad dock ; John King bought the foal upon my orders. He was brought to Norton, where I sent a person named Watson for him. I sent 281. by William Wise, my man, to pay for him. Mr. Watson took the colt to York, where I saw him. The colour was bay, the four legs black, and he had a few white hairs on his forehead. This was in January, 1842. My brother James was at York when the colt came there ; he was going to Newmarket, on his way to London. I saw the colt put in the railway-box. I was at Newmarket in 1843, when an ob jection was made to a horse. I cannot say whether it was the same that I had seen at York, as I had not seen that one since he was a foal, but the colour was the same. I expected that the colt would grow into such a horse as Running Rein. saw the horse which goes by that name both on the course and in the stable. I had bought him for Mr. Goodman. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-4 havebeen accustomed to horses since I was thirteen years of age ; I am now seven-and-twenty. Mr. Goodman told me, at New market, to buy the colt. He told me to buy him a foal or two, if they were cheap. He gave me no description of the foal he wanted either verbally or in writing. He sent me a letter when he paid me, but did not ask for any description of the foal which I had bought; I am quite certain that I had no instructions either verbally or in writing as to the sort of foal that Mr. Goodman wanted. The white hairs in the forehead were together. At the time I bought the colt, he was a shabby-looking animal; but he had largo limbs. The pasterns were not long; the off-fore foot did not turn out more than that of most horses. I should say it did not turn out at all. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—It did not turn out so as to attract my notice. At the time I bought the foal, Mr. Good man was running several horses; I bad two of his horses at that time. Wm. Wiles examined by Mr. JAMES—In 1841 I was the servant of Mr. Henry Stebbing. I went to Mr. Cobb's re specting a foal; it was a bay foal, without any white except a few white hairs on the forehead. The legs wore all black. I paid for it, an d di recte d i t to b e sen t t o Mr. King's. The last time I saw it was at Mr. King's. His Lonnshir here inquired if the horse could be seen by himself and the Jury? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said they had applied for per mission to see it and had been refused. Mr. COCKBURN said he would inform his Lordship presently under what circumstances. His Lorinsurr said he should like to see the horse, and he thought the jury would also. He was quite sure the verdict would be set aside if the horse were not seen. Mr. COCKBURN said if his Lordship's order had been pro perly used there would have been no obstacle.. His LORDSIIIP said whatever use might have been made of the order, he was sure it would be worse for the parties if it were not seen now. Mr. CocKeunsr had not the slightest objection to his Lord ship and the jury seeing the horse. Robert Spanton examined by Mr. COCKBURN—In the year 1841 I was in the service of Mr. King, the training-groom, at Malton. In. the month of December, 1841, I fetched away a foal, and brought it to Mr. King's; it remained in the stable about six weeks, and was afterwards turned out on Mr. King's paddock. I attended to it during the whole tune; it was a bay colt with black legs; there was no white about the legs, but there was a little about the forehead; it did not amount to what we call a star. The heels were cracked very much. The ears were rather wide. Cross-examined by the Soucrroß-GENEEAL—The hind heels were cracked. It is a very common thing for a horse to have cracked heels. John Andrews, examined by Mr. JAMES—My brother is a training-groom, at Hambledon. I reside with him. In January, 1842, I was at York. I came from Thirsk with him to meet the foal. I came up to London by a train, which conveyed a foal. I brought him to Eusten-square station. It was dark when I arrived in London. The foal was met either by a man or a lad. I saw him next morning, at Mr. Goodman's statics in Foley-place. He was of a bay colour. Some would have entered fiim bay or brown, his legs were black. lam not aware that he had any white about him. After seeing him at Mr. Goodman's stables I never saw him again except at Newmarket. I cannot swear that the horse I saw at Newmarket was Mr. Good man's colt, but it was just such a horse as the colt seemed likely to become. John Andrews re-examined by Mr. JAMES—In December 1841 I was in the service of Mr. Fowlia, attending his hunters at Cobb's. Daniel White, examined by Mr. JissrEss—l am' in the ser vice of Mrs. Allen in Albemarle-street. In 1842, I was at Mr. Joseph's livery-stables, in Foley-place. I went to the Euston-square station for a foal in January, 1842, which I got on arriving there, and took to Mr. Goodman's stables. I remained there two nights. I took him every afternoon to Mr. Pearl's in Milton-street, Dorset-square, and left him there. I saw him afterwards in the September of that year, at. Mr. Bean's at Finchley. I went to fetch him for Mr. Goodman. I took him to Mr. Goodman's house first, and from there to Mr. Haynes's livery stables in Langham place, where, according to Mr. Goodman's order, I left him. Cross-examined by the Soiscrron-GENERAL—I lived with Mr. Josephs, whose stables were used by Mr. Goodman at different times. I cannot say how long the colt remained at Pearl's. George White attended to the colt in Mr. Good man's stables. I . met him about two months since near Foley-place, and he said he was going to a situation at Paris. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—When I fetched the colt, I took him to Mr. Goodman's stables. James Wilson Pearl, examined by Mr. CocupunN—l am a livery-stable keeper, carrying on business in Milton-street, Dorset , square. I remember, in January, 1843, a man bring ing a bay colt of Mr. Goodman's to my stables. I saw him two or three times every day. I saw him at Mr. Bean's six weeks after he left my stables, in a pad dock. I knew him to be the same colt. I never saw him afterwards, till I saw him at Epsom. To the best of my belief he was the same horse, but I could not swear that he was. Cross-examined by the Souctron-GExEnaL—Mr. Bean's paddock adjoins the road. Wm. Bean examined by Mr. JAmEs—l lived at Finchley in January, 1842 ; was applied to by Mr. Goodman to allow a colt of his to run in my paddock; It was in January, 1842 ; I drove one of my . men up to Mr. Pearl's to fetch him ; he brought him to my paddock, where he re mained till the 24th of Sepriember. [The witness here handed to counsel an order for the delivery of the horse.] Whilst in the paddock, he hurt himself in trying to get into an adjoining field; he knocked some hairs off between the knee and the arm ; the skin was a/so:broken. After the colt was taken away in September, 1.542, I saw him at New market; it was in 1843. I believed it to be the same colt; it was my firm belief that it was so. I saw a colt at Epsom, which I believe to be the same that ran at Newmarket. I did not myself deliver the colt to the mart that brought the order for its delivery; I ordered one of my men to do so; I had no other colt on my premises at that time. Cross-examined by the SOLICerOII. GENERAL-I deal in horses, and have done so for thirty years. lamby no means prosperous in business. I have been bankrupt twice and insol vent twice. On my first bankruptcy 1 did not pay any dividend. I don't know whether any dividend was paid in the second bankruptcy. I gave a satisfactory account on my insolvency. Mr. Hammond was one of my assignees. I know him well. I don't remember applying to him once to lend me 751. upon an order or a person of the name of Allen. I don't remember Mr. Hammond discovering that the money had been paid to me. 1 have not the least recol lection of the transaction. The JUDGE—YOU don't recolloct whether you cheated a man of 751. or not?—(Laughter.) Witness—l have no re collection of anything of the kind.. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—_I do not recollect Mr. Allen's dealing with me at all. I reminnber a person of the name of Kingscote. I ,do not recollect I:epresenting to Mr. Hammond, that Mr. Kingscote had left town without paying me for a horse I had sold him, and that he would return in a day or two. I swear that I never borrowed money of Mr. Hammond on such a representation. I have no recollection of anything of the kind having occurred. The JUDGE—I suppose I might, venture to ask you whether you ever committed murder, perhaps you have no recollec tion of it?—(Laughter.) Witness—No, my Lord. By the Somerton-GENERAL-4 was in the habit of taking in horses at Finchley. Sanders was in my service; so also was Fanny Page, Mrs. Humphreys, a person called Will York (I don't know his real name) and several persons whose names I cannot recollect. The man whom I went with to fetch the colt, was Henry Sanders. Fanny slept in a room near the box where the horse was put, but she is not here. I met the person who came for the colt at the gate; there were two men there together. Mr. Masson is a next door neighbour of mine at Finchley. Fanny came into my service two or three times. I do not recollect her leaving me and marrying. I cannot say whether Fanny was at Finchley down to the month of February 1843. Re-examined by Mr. CocKnuax—The box which the horse was in was detached from the house. Fanny's window would look over it. After the examination of other witnesses whose evidence was not material, at a little before four the case for, the plaintiff was closed, when the Solicitor-General opened the case for the defence. The Learned Gentleman pledged himself to prove by many and undoubted witnesses that Runn ing Rein that run lbr the Clearwell Stakes at Newmarket, and the Derby at Epsom, was not the real Running Rein—was not the Saddler's colt—but was a horse called Maccabeus, colt of the Gladiator. At the close of the Learned Gentleman's _ . speech it was nearly half-past six, and it was proposed to adjourn the Court, but Baron Alderson said he would take two or three witnesses then, in order, if possible, to close the case by to-morrow night. The Earl of Stradbroke was then called, and was examined, when the trial was adjourned to this day. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT. - Mr. Kirch, the aeronaut, has had a narrow escape from imminent destruction. Hav ing discharged one of his workmen for misconduct, the scoundrel, in revenge, sprinkled the parachute of the balloon, by which he was to ascend on Sunday last, with vitriolic acid. Mr. Kirch, and the two other persons wh o were to go up with him, would have in all probability p er i s h ed, had not the gas escaped. Searching for the cause o f t hi s, he dis covered the infernal project. He found out the perpe trator of this demoniacal act, and denouncing him, he has been arrested. LAW INTELLIGENCE. TiOUSE OF LORDS, July 1. The House sat to-day to hear writs of error. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Redesdale. The Judges were also in attendance, and among them we noticed the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Patteson. I GRAY V., THE QUEEN. This case came before their Lordships upon a writ of error from a judgment of the Court ofqueen's Bench in Ireland, by which the petitioner, Samuel Gray, was sentenced to transportation for life for firing at and killing a person named Owen Murphy. The principal, and indeed the only question in the case, was whether a party indicted for an offence not punishable with death, has the right of peremptorily challenging any of the jury :—Samuel Gray, the petitioner in error, was indicted at the Lent Assizes in 1842, for the county of Monaghan, for having committed a felony in firing at and killing Owen Murphy. The charge was founded, and the indictment framed, upon the stature Ist Victoria, cap. 85, section 3. Gray having pleaded not guilty, the trial pro ceeded at the Assize - until, in consequence of the illness of one of the jurors, they were obliged to be discharged without giving a verdict. At the Summer Assizes, in the same year, the trial was again brought on ; but the jury not agreeing in their verdict, were discharged. A similar occurrence took place at the Lent Assizes in 1843. The proceedings were then removed by the Crown to the Court of Queen's Bench, and in Easter Term, 1843, Gray was required to plead to the indictment in that Court. Upon this Gray pleaded that he had been tried for feloniously shooting at Owen Murphy and acquitted. To this plea the Attorney-General idemurred, and Gray having joined in the demurrer, it was argued, and the demurrer was allowed, and Gray was ordered to answer over to the felony charged in the indictment. Gray pleaded again "Not guilty" and the caso was ordered to be tried at the Summer Assizes for Monaghan. On the case being called on, and daring the empanelling of the jury, Gray peremptorily challenged two of them, but that challenge was disallowed, on the ground that it had been the practice in Ireland not to allow a peremptory challenge in any case of felony not punishable with death. The trial then proceeded, and the petitioner Gray was found guilty and sentenced to transportation for life. Mr. Justice Perrin declared his opinion, and gave his judgment that the chal lenge ought to have been allowed, and that the judgment on the verdict ought to have been arrested, and a venire de novo awarded; but the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Burton, and Mr. Justice Crampton were of a different opinion. Under these circumstances Gray brought the writ of error that now came on for argument. Mr. NAPIER and Mr. DAWSON appeared for the petitioner in error, and contended that the sentence ought to be set aside, on the ground of the challenge of the jury by the pe titioner being refused, and because the incidents of the de fence and trial of all felonies were the same, and the right of peremptory challenge appertained to the trial of felony, as a specific class of crime, and had, therefore, been uniformly allowed in England on the trial of felonies not punishable with death, as well as capital felonies. The Attorney-General for Ireland and Mr. Waddington appeared on behalf of the Crown. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . OLD COURT. The sessions at the Old Bailey were opened yesterday by Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Alderman Sir C. Marshall, the Sheriffs, and other civic authorities. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The COMMON SERGEANT briefly addressed them as to the nature of their duties. He said, the cases in the calendar were of an ordinary description, and involved no point of dificulty. There was one case which, perhaps, would re quire more than ordinary attention, and that was the case of a man, who was charged with pushing_ a constable into a canal, with intent to drown him. By the lit Victoria, the act of pushing a person into the water was made a felony. There was no other point in the calendar which required comment from him ; and he would, therefore, remit them to their duties. The Court then proceeded to swear the common jury. Edwin Andrews and Joseph Pratt, two lads, 17 years of age, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with a burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Seddon, and stealing a watch, and moneys of the value of 71., his property. As it appeared that the prisoners had previously borne a good character, and this was their first offence, the COMMON SERGEANT passed upon them a lenient sentence—twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, their offence having rendered them liable to be transported for fifteen years. Christopher Watling, 53, a person holding a subordinate, situation in the Excise, was indicted for stealing two ounces and a half of tobacco, value sixpence, the property of the London Dock Company. Mr. BALLANTLNE prosecuted, and Mr. DOANS appeared for the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was ordered to be imprisonmed and kept to bard labour for twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION -HOUSE. A savage fellow, named William Cressingham, a grocer in Watling-street, was brought before Sir John Pirie upon a warrant, charging him with having very brutally beaten and otherwise abused and ill-treated his wife. The complainant, a young creature of very interesting appearance, stated that her husband, who was a first-rate customer to the gin -shops, had begun to maltreat her a a year ago, which was only half a year after their mar riage, and that he never failed to perform any promises he had made to knock her and kick her about. Of late, however, be had adopted a new system of torture and in sult, and when she turned her back, he introduced some woman of the town to take her place and her clothes, and the articles by the sale of which they were supported. Sir J. PIRIE, who, with difficulty, restrained his indig nation, during this recital, which was made without any embellishment, or attempt to produce effect, asked the complainant how long it was since he had visited her with this last outrage? She stated that he returned home on Thursday, at a quarter after three o'clock in the morning, drunk, and demanded a sovereign from her, and when she refused to accommo date him with the means of getting more drink, he seized her violently by the throat, called her by the most horrible names, and swore he would do for her, and when she still resisted the demand, struck her with all his power on the mouth. As the house in which they lodged was in a different street from that in which they carried on business, the complainant watched him as he went out, and saw him join a girl of the town, who was waiting for him at the corner. She then followed them and saw them enter the shop, and when the female came out, which was not for an hour and a half, she collared her, and pulled from her _person a quantity of tea, which was wrapped in paper she could identify as the property of the house. Sir Jour; PIRIE— Unfortunately that property is your husband's. You have no exclusive claim to it, I sup pose ? The complainant replied in the negative. Sir JOHN PIRIE—I am sorry I shall be obliged to dis charge her, for it is quite evident that she was there with the intention of wronging you. The complainant declared that she had missed several articles of apparel, furniture, and trade, and she had the terrors of an " union" before her, which she knew w as the most dreadful evil that eould befal her. Charles Plummer, brother to the complainant, so lemnly declared that all the poor young woman had said fell short of the atrocity of the conduct of the prisoner, who had threatened to use knives and pistols against the members of her family, as well as against herself. Sir JOHN PIRIE—What have you to say prisoner ? The prisoner —Why, I am very sorry, your Lordship, and I'll promise you never to do it again. Sir JOHN PIRIE—You shall not be allowed to leave prison until you produce two good securities in the amount of 501. each, and be security yourself in the amount of 1001, to keep the peace towards your wife and her brothers, and all other persons, for twelve months, and you must give me forty-eight hours' notice of bail.—The prisoner was then committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Riley, a middle aged man of decent appearance, was charged (as entered on the police sheet) " with attempt ing and endangering the life of his wife, by throwing her out of the second-floor window of the house, No. 4, Dolphin court, Oxford-street." ThomasWills,police-sergeant.No 1, of the C division, stated that, yesterday morning as he was on duty in Oxford-street, he heard an outcry and springing of a rattle, in Dolphin court, and on proceeding there he found that the prisoner's wife had been carried into the passage of the house, N 0.4, and she was there lying on the floor, and seemed to be very severely injured. Witness was informed by some of the in mates of the house that the female had been thrown out of the second-floor front-room window (the apartment they occupied) by the prisoner, and had fallen on to the flag pave ment of the court. She came down feet foremost. Witness asked her if she persisted in her statement that the prisoner. had thrown her out of the window. • She said she did, and he accordingly took him into custody. The prisoner appeared to have been drinking slightly, but the wife was actually in toxicated; she was taken to Middlesex Hospital, but refused to allow herself to be examined by the house-surgeon, or to remain there. She was in consequence removed back to ,her lodging, but this morning she was so much worse that she was obliged to be again conveyed to the hospital. Since then she persists in stating that she jumped out of the window herself, and that the prisoner had nothing to do with it. A certificate was produced of the wife being in Middlesex Hospital, suffering from the injuries she had sustained, but which, under the cir cumstances, are surprisingly slight. The mother of the deceased said she was quite sure the prisoner did not throw her daughter out of the window. He was, therefore, for the present allowed to go at large. QUEEN-SQUARE. An elderly person, named Mrs. Moore, who resides in Park roiv, Bayswater, stepped into the witness-box, and said she had an application to make ; and on being requested by Mr. Bond to state the nature of it, she proceeded to do so in an emphatic and eccentric manner. She said, a person had let her the house in which she lived, and in which he occupied rooms. The other day he came to her bed-room, and in a threatening tone demanded admis sion, which she refused. He then said he should make her a prisoner, and tied the door with a rope to the bannisters. lie also threatened to cut off her head with a razor which, she believed, he had in his hand; and he had repeatedly threat. ened to put a distress on her goods for rent, although she had offered to pay him every farthing she owed, and offered to do so if he would give her a receipt for the amount. In short, she had been so annoyed and harassed by this person, that she•feared her life was in danger; and on these grounds she ' earnestly begged the protection of the Magistrate. ' During the time the complainant was making this state ment, which she did with great volubility, the Court was convulsed with laughter. Mr. BOND, who had, during Mrs. Moore's address, evinced great impatience, from her rambling incoherent expressions, told her that he could not interfere in the matter unless he really believed her life was in danger; her only re medy was by an action at law. She had better apply to a solicitor. Complainant—Can y ou recommen d me one , Si r ? Mr. BOND smiled and shook his head. The complainant then left the Court. MAR YLE B ONE. Two men, named Peake and Arthur, attired in the garb of working men, were placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with stealing a hat and a handkerchief from Mr. Quelch, an elderly person, who stated that he was clerk to a coal-merehant in Camden-town. From the, statement of the prosecutor and other per sons, it appeared that Mr. Quelch, who was slightly the worse for liquor, was proceedug along the St. Pan cras-road, towards King's-crop, about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, when the prisoners, who were stran gers to him, came up and endeavoured to enter into conversation with him, and there were no other persons in sight M the time. The prosecutor increased his speed tc wards the toll-gate, as his suspicions were aroused; he had only proceeded a few paces, when Peake placed his hands en one of the prosecutor's trousers pockets, no doubt for the purpose of ascertaining what money he had, and of robbing him. Mr. Quelch asked him what he meant by such con duct, but Peake made no reply. Shortly afterwards Peake snatched a new hat from his head, at the same time throwing an old one to him, and placing the stolen hat on Arthur's head, who, with Peake, immediately ran away, but were fol lowed, and after a smart pursuit secured and conveyed to the station-house, where the hat, in which there was a handker chief, was found on Arthur's head. The prisoners, who had nothing to say to the charge, were committed for trial. MARKET NEWS.(YESTERDAY.) CORNXeIIANGE. The stands were well filled, with samples of Wheat of home produce.

PARRICIDE IN FRANCE.—A man named Simon, il l the prime of life, was tried at the assizes of Nancy on the 23d, for the murder of his father. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had always been remarked fo r the violence of his character, and that he had on one occa sion struck and severely wounded his father, for which , however, he had not been prosecuted. He entered tile, army, and on being dischar ge d marr i e d , and took a ca fe at la; neville, where he soon got into embarrassment, 9., 0d , applied to his father to assist' him. The old gen tl eman di' SO to a certain extent, but refused to impoverish himself by advancing all that his son required. In this state of thieg 4 the son resolved upon a desperate and horrible course, and in March last wrote an affectionate letter to his father, in the name of himself and his wife, to come and pay them a visit- The old man came, but ver y soon a f terwards he was found dead in a ditch, near Luneville, his skull having been beaten in in several places with some heavy blunt instrument. On the first announcement of the fatal news, the only feeling that seemed to enter the mind of Simon was what he was to gain by it, for he immediately sent his brother-in-law to Blainville, where his father had resided, to have the seals 0' on all his property, so that nothing might be lost. Still, ° ll being brought to view the body of the deceased, Simon, in i presence of the ma g i s t ra t es , s h owe d a l l the signs of deep on, sincere affliction. After a time, however, his conduct exciter, suspicion, and it was di scovere d t h at the deceased bn,' been killed in the so n ' s ce ll ar. T he proofs were so irresistib le that Simon at length confessed that ho was a parricid e He avowed that hi s i nv i tat i on to h i s father was g i v en solely with the design of compelling him to advance money to relieve him (the son) from his difficulties. The father and son being engaged in the cellar bottling beer, the son re peatedly entreated his father t o gran t hi m t h e ass i stance ~ e required, and received positive refusals. The son gave ht two severe blows on the head, an d l a id hi m senseless on 0 : ground with a heavy piece of wood; but finding f ro m th e noisy the father made that he was still suffering, 116 repeated the blows till he was qu it e d ea d , and then left th: body behind one of the wi ne cas k s. Th e following nighd, he put it into a sa c k, an d carr i e d i t to where it was foun a It was proved that altho ug h gu il ty o f t hi s heinous crime, nn, the body of his father, who had just been murdered with I c " own hand was lyin g we lt er i ng i n i ts bl ood in the ce lla . below, the prisoner w as , d ur i ng th e d ay, even more gay WI usual, and was singi ng songs w ith hi s guests. O n the me the prisoner retracted the confession which he had made , but the proofs against him were too strong to admit of:, shadow of a doubt, and consequently h e was pronou nced guilty by the jury, and condemned to death.
