Captain I'ECIIELL, in reply, said that the Right Hon. and Gallant Admiral (Sir G. Cockburn) had not brought forward one fact to weaken his case, or to dis prove the injustice that had been dime. As to the pen sion, he thought it most proper to have that part of the question to the Board of Admiralty ; but the other question—natmly, that of arrears—he did not think he ought to do so, after what had just been said. Under the advice of those around him, he would very reluc• tautly withdraw his motion. The motion was then withdrawn. Lord SEYMOUR moved for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate admission to civil and corporate offices. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. On the motion of Mr. JOHN O'BRIEN, the petition of the Corporation of Limerick, presented on the 12th of the present month, was ordered to be printed with the votes. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One. Just ready. In 2 vols. ' small Bvo., WINTER IN ITALY. By Mrs. ASIITO .; YATES.

Mr. HAWES moved the previous question, and after some discussion, the House divided, when there were —for the motion, 39, and against it, 5. The House went into Committee, and. 50 clauses were adopted, w hen the House adjourned. The House again met at half-past Five o'clock, when the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER presented the Report of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, which he moved to be printed. He thought, however, that the evidence should not be printed, as it might criminate certain individuals. It would, however, be on the table for the use of Members. Mr. T. Dux- COMBE objected to such a course, and moved that the evidence be printed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in that case withdrew his motion, and gave notice of it for this day. What is this revenue inquiry ? Is it the inquiry into the enormous robberies committed at the Custom house under another title, and are the Government anxious to screen the most egregious offenders ? We trust, and indeed we have no fear, that Mr. DUN COMBE will do his duty. Are the frauds on the revenue—frauds to an amount of which even Mr. GouLnualN knows nothing—to be slurred over, be cause individuals may be criminated ? Let the Liberal Members muster all their force this evening, and teach the moral Government a lesson of morality. The wish of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for concealment is the best proof that the- report of the Commissioners does not state the real and important facts of this atrocious system of robbery. Lord PALMERSTON moved for a return showing the number of African negroes landed for the purposes of slavery on the continent and islands of America from the year 1815 to 1843, both inclusive. His Lordship made an admirable speech on the horrible traffic car ried on by men calling themselves Christians. Sir ROBERT PEEL followed in a long speech, and said he would willingly have acceded to the motion at once, but for the oratorical display made by the Noble Lord, who had been comparatively idle all the session, and now made a great speech at the close. The Right Hon. Baronet, entered at great length into the slave-trade, which he denounced in equal terms with Lord PALMERSTON. Several other Members followed, and the motion was at length agreed to, Sir R. PEEL proposing to add the number of slaves emancipated in Sierra Leone, Surinam, and other places, to:the return. Mr. HUME'S motion for inquiry relating to the harbours of refuge; after some observation's from Sir R. PEEL, was agreed to. Mr. E. DErtisox then moved for an account of the sums expended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England; and Mr. ELPHINSTONE, as an amend ment, proposed that a return of the incomes of all the Archbishops and Bishops in England and Wales be presented to the House. A division took place, and the original motion was carried by a majority of 28. Captain PECHELL'S motion relating to the Lunatic Asylum at Hasler was withdrawn, after a short con versation. The other orders or the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. The case of Mr. O'Daisconn, the Irish magis trate, which has lately attracted some notice in the sister-country, was brought before the House of Lords last night by Earl FORTRSCUE. The particulars of this case are briefly as follows :—A man named DENNEAN, being supposed by Mr. O'DRIscoLL to know the persons who had rescued certain cattle which had trespassed on his land, was called on by him to declare on oath who had rescued them, and on his refusal, was committed- by the magistrate to Bridewell. On being made acquainted with this fact, the LORD CHANCELLOR declared that Mr. O'Darsconn ought not to have pronounced judgment in his own case, and insisted that he should not interfere further. Soon afterwards that gentleman was brought up for an assault com mitted, without the slightest provocation, on a boy, on which occasion, said the Noble Earl, he made use of the most disgusting language, and totally unbe coming one who professed -to have the feelings of a gentleman. For this assault his brother magistrates fined him two pounds, allotting one to the boy as a compensation for the blows which had been inflicted on him. On hearing this award Mr. O'DRIscoLL de clared that justice had not been done him, which led to an altercation with the Bench, who insisted on his publicly apologising to them for his indiscreet and intemperate behaviour. The LORD CHANCELLOR, as in the former case, was put into possession of these facts, when he wrote to the effect that " Mr. O'DRIscoLL, after his conviction, had committed one of the gravest faults which a magistrate could commit," adding with marked em phasis, "all these charges taken together, satisfy my mind that he has not at present that command over his ,temper and- actions (even when acting in a magisterial capacity, or when appearing as a defen dant before the Bench) which is so essential to the due administration of justice." Nothing can well he stronger or more condemnatory than this language; it is a virtual and deliberate decision on the part of the highest legal authority in Ireland that Mr, O'DRIscoLL, first from, his temper, and secondly from his conduct, is wholly disqualified for acting as a magistrate; and he was in coasequence'superseded. And yet, notwithstanding this formal decision, no sooner was a memorial presented from certain influ ential people in the county to the Viceroy, praying fur his reappointment, than the LORD CHANCELLOR, without the slightest hesitation, restored him to the commission of the peace, thereby effectually stultify ing his own previous decision ! Who after this—and Mr. O'Darsconn's is no uncommon case—can wonder that Ireland has no faith -in the mode in which justice is administered; and that the law which should be regarded as a guardian, is looked on by her as an oppressor ? In England such a case as the one before us could never have happened, f o r h a d an y magistrate so grossly misconducted himself as Mr. O'Darsconn appears to have' done,. public opinion would have ex pressed itself so earnestly and unequivocally on the subject, that the LORD CHANCELLOR would not have `d - ared to replace the offending individual in the com mission of the peace. But in Ireland, it seems, they manage things:very differently. There, a magistrate may be carved out of any block of wood. Er quovis ligno fit Mercurius.. No matter how indiscreet and intemperate he may be = no matter how grossly ig norant he may be of the laws which it is his duty fully to understand and impartially to administer—he is still wise and prudent enough fur the sister-coun try. Such is the deliberate opinion of the highest legal authority in Ireland, as manifested by the reap pointment to the Bench of an individual whom that same legal authority had previously stated to be wholly disqualified fia- acting in a magisterial capa city!. The defence set up for Mr. O'DRIscoLL by their Lordships was the most puerile it is possible to conceive. Lord WHARNCLIFFE went the length of asserting that his assault on the boy was by no means without justification, for, it had taken place while he was out hunting, and what sportsman could bear to be interrupted in his amuse ment Irritation at such a moment Was the ruosl natural thing possible, and he was astonished, there fore, to find the assault described as an " aggravated one." As for Lord LYNDHURST, he thought the as sault quite " ludicrous ;" while the Earl of RIPON observed that " there was a material distinction be. tween what Mr. O'Diuscom. had done in his indi. vidual and his magisterial capacity,"—that is to say, though the man might be peccant, the magis, trate was to be held spotless, for, it was quite plain that when he anointed the shoulders of the boy with: his horsewhip, he did so, not in his official, but in his private, capacity. But Lord MOUNTCASUEL'S defence. of Mr. O'DMSCOLL was the most comical, and logically considered, it entitled to the praise of consummate originality. He was of opinion that that gentleman was en titled to be restored to the Bench, if only on the. score of his , gentility, for, added this droll Peer, "-in a part of the country where gentlemen were scarce, it was a matter of great im portance that a gentleman of M, O'Ditiscom:s character and. propertpshould be a magisttate." v IVe i n f e r from this that to use sc the most disgusting and Unbeoonaing language" is no impeachment of an Irish- man's gentility, and that to thrash•a boy without the slightest provocation, in nowise impugns his charac ter, or lessens 141 efficiency ai a magistrate! We recur to the debate thp an Q f England. Charter Dill in the 4ousp of I.ords ? last week ? with an increased conviction that it was better calculated to apprise the public of what may be termed the phi losophy of the measure, than any of the discussions which had preceded it in the House of Commons. But we must not omit to remark, by the way, that some of Lord RIPON'S frank admissions as to the past history of the results of the Bill of 1819 were of an effect not less fatal to the pretensions of this measure for its complement, than the more guarded, though not more convincing, pleas advancedin its favour by Lord MONTEAGLE. Let us see what these admissions of Lord RIPON amount to. " The pressure," said he, " on the money market in 1825 was the most severe pressure, he believed, which had ever existed in this country. Indeed, he believed the effect of that pres sure to have been greater than that which occurred in 1797, previous to the Bank Restriction Act." Now there is no incident on which Sir ROBERT PEEL is so fond of playing his battery of small common-places of " fatal measures," " ill-advised expedients," " de plorable resolution," &c., as this Bank Restriction Act. There is no topic but this upon which he permits himself to speak with flippant disparagement of his great master, Mr. PITT. Let any man but recur to the Restriction Act of 1797, and Sir ROBERT is ready with his well-digested shake of the head—his studied ingenuousness of dissent from the "Minister of that day," and his carefully-rehearsed expressions of off-hand regret. Yes— " Lightly he'll talk of the spirit that's gone, And o'er his cold ashes upbraid him." For what ? A daring but indispensable act of policy ; abrupt, but sound and far-sighted, which saved the fortunes, developed the resources, and esta blished the permanent grandeur of his country. Our business, however, is not, now, to vindicate the Bank Restriction Act—to show the exigency of the circumstances under which it was resorted to—or to trace the marvellous results that followed its enact ment in the subsequent period of twenty years, or to prove that those results could not have been realised without that enactment. Lord liarox admits that after PEEL'S Bill of 1819 had served a seven years' apprenticeship—in 1825, when, if ever, it should have been able to work out all the good which its projectors had so confidently predicted of it, "there came upon • the country the severest monetary pres sure which had ever been known here—worse than that of 1797." But the Bullionists affirm that the restrictive Act of 1797 was, in effect, a compromised national bankruptcy. They date from that epoch the origo of all the evils that] ensued, in the shape of adverse exchanges, of over-speculation, of over-issues of paper, of inconvertible paper—all the evils, in short, which Parliament was persuaded to believe the' Currency Bill of 1819 would infallibly cure. The very State doctors who prescribed that empirical remedy now admit that seven years afterwards the patient was worse than he had ever been before, even at that two-and-twenty years antedated period which they had so long denounced as the most malignant hitherto experienced by the monetary sys tem of our country. But what next ? Why, having dosed us with this deleterious nostrum in 1819, and acknowledged its total, disgraceful, and almost irre trievable failure in 1826, they have now the modesty to insist on administering a larger and more nauseous potion—the large remainder, the dregs, the " comple ment"—in 1844! Between 1797 and 1819 there had elapsed fifteen years of war and four of peace ; and there had occurred no catastrophe to mate the crisis of 1797 itself. Between 1819 and 1825 there had intervened seven years of profound peace, the closing year being distinguished by a mone tary catastrophe far more terrible than that which had distinguished the first of the series of fifteen years of war ! Since 1826 we have been blessed with a serene period, extending over eighteen other years of profound peace.; and it is now— at the end of this term—that the quacks, whose blundering treatment of 1819 reduced us in seven years to a more fearful state of exhaustion and jeopardy than we were in, even in 1797, insist upon their greater capacity to make, and our improved condition to submit to, a further exhibition of their dangerous incompetency ! The Earl of RIPON sees the monstrous assurance and inconsistency of the demand of his fellow Ministers in this case, or the confidence and credulity of Par liament; for he next admits the failure of the joint stock banks' institution scheme to justify the expec tations of the then Ministers, that it would operate as a check to any over-issue of paper. Several monetary crises in 1832, 1836, and 1838, de monstrated, he says, the futility of these ex planations. He says that the effect of enlarged issues of paper is to produce activity in business, but of a most fallacious kind ; and that under these circumstances men " overlook the terrible revulsions which must arise if their issues of paper be not regulated by a sufficient rule." We would respectfully challenge Lord RIPON to point out any period in the lapse of forty-seven years, from 1797 to the present time, at which, prior to 1819, 'when we had not yet been favoured with a Currency Bill, at which we experienced revulsions such as there have been in 1825, and in several more recent years, under its operation ? But Lord RIPON contends that there was no sufficient rule whereby to regulate these paper issues, except the condition of the foreign exchanges. We have more than once endeavoured to show the occasional utter failure to which this test would be liable ; but Lord MONTEAGLE roundly maintains that it is exceedingly possible the Bank might largely con tract its circulation, and thereby bring the exchanges notninaily in our favour, so that gold ought to be flowing into the country again, and yet that the Bank might be compelled, to meet the pending drain of bullion, before this influx had taken place, to pay away its last golden sovereign. This case is put on no less an authority than Mr. Husfussort's :—" He now came to the' greatest and most important objec tion to the Bill—namely, that it was founded and proceeded upon the assumption that the state of the foreign exchanges were constantly likely to pro duce a drain upon the Bank, and that it was not even contemplated there would be such an effect pro duced by means of an internal drain. Now this was directly in contradiction to the opinion of Mr. Hus• xissorv; in his pamphlet upon sudden depreciation, and he held it even possible that in such a run on the Bank, in consequence of the straightened circulation, the Bank might part with its last sovereign without check ing the drain upon the Bank, which would have, of course, only the effect of aggravating the evil. GOD forbid that such a state of things should ever take place, but a country so circumstanced as this was— so deeply engaged in commerce and in manufactures, with a mixed currency to so enormous an extent, as well as with so extensive a system of credits —must be at some time liable to such casualties." What an exceedingly happy invention, after all, this " final complement" and practical development of " the great principle" of the Legislature of 1819 must be. It is to ensure the convertibility of paper into gold—with a view to control exchanges—which exchanges - either take a different evolution from that you require, or turning exactly as you would have them, may at any time leave the whole ma chinery for effecting . this convertibility to pe rish by its own activity. If the exchanges won't be evoked, but, like a rusty weathercock, will continue unaccountably steady at one point, the 13ank., to meet -the rise of the price of gold from 31. 17s. 100. (the Mint rate) to any higher sum per ounce which it may be fetching in the market, must contract its issue so violently that commerce and trade must perish -in the collapse. If the exchanges walk down the Premier's new sliding scale, with all the facility and certainty to be looked for from its previous scientific lubrication, by the anti-attrition processes of Mr. JONES LOTD, the gold may still choose to be coaxed out of the Bank cellars; and then the balance or excess of securities in its deposit branch over gold and silver bullion (Government acknowledgments and Bills of Exchequer included) will not prevent what we should deprecate, as the most frightful of social evils, the bankruptcy of the Leviathan Bank. Nay, it would not prevent that greater evil, so feelingly denounced by Sir ROBERT PEEL as the working of our monetary system before! the tinkering experiment of 1819, for it would again I "disturb. men's theories and speculations on the currency question." Accounts from Alexandria of the 26th of June announce the arrival of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, on the afternoon of the 22d, in the Geyser steamer, from Marseilles. He landed next day, Sunday, as a pri vate individual, but re-embarked again for a short time, aud.afterwards landed in state, in• the PAcira's - ; barge ; when a salute of 19 guns was fired. Jio was " A letter from Dreux thus describes the celebration of the anniversary of the death of the Duke of Orleans :—At half-past eleven the King, leading the Queen by the hand, entered the body of the chapel through the crypt. His Ma jesty took his station in the centre of the choir, before the altar, having the Queen on his right, and next to her the Queen of the Belgians and the Duke de Montpensier. On his left was the Duchess of Orleans, between her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide and the Prince de Wurtemberg. The clergy followed the Royal Family from the crypt. It was impossible to see without emotion the august widow of the Prince Royal endeavouring to suppress the convulsive sobbings of her heart, prostrated and motionless on the earth by the weight of her grief, while the King and Queen were seeking resignation at the foot of the altar. One overwhelm ing feeling predominated in all who were present; the most lively sympathy with the august mourners was depicted in every countenance. After the absolution, the King and his family returned to the Palace, passing again through the crypt, where tha Queen and the Duchess remained a long time kneeling before the tomb of the departed Prince. "The money laid out, upon the chateauat Dreux amounts to a very considerable sum. Between 1822 and 1830, the King expended more than 100,000 f. in finishing the chapel begun by his mother, the Duchess Dowager of Orleans. And since 1830, the outlay has been no less than 3 ,500,000 f. Be tween this and the end of 1845 the works to be done are es timated at 800,000 f. His Majesty has also endowed the Royal chapel with a revenue of 25,0001." The Courrier Francais says :—We understand that imme diately on the close of the session Marshal Soult will go to pass three months at his seat of Saint Amand ; the Minister of Commerce will take a tour through the manufacturing dis tricts; the Minister of Public Works will make a general inspection of the railroads; the Minister of the Marine will visit, Cherbourg and Brest ; the Minister of Justice will pass a month with his family at Douai, and the Ministers of Fi. 'lances and Public Instruction will go to take the benefit of some of the mineral waters. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought the district boards of guardians. Mr. FERRAND wished to know whethe r ex dficio ought to be elected annually, as well as the bo a rd o f guardians were to sit at the district board, and whether Dissenting ;ministers were competent to d o so . H e thought if they were, they would have r e li g i ous dissen sions, and nothing but envy and hatred in ev er y c l ass o f society. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the board of guardians were to choose persons Properly qualified to sit at the district boards. He tliotie s lit that the qualification would be a rating of 401. , The clause, as amended, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. On clause 38 being proposed, which defined thepowers and duties of the district board, Sir J. GRAHAM proposed an amendment, to the effect that a chaplain should be appointed to each stsylum, such chaplain to be a clergyman of the Church of _R-i,g land, and to be elected by the board, the amount Of salary to be fixed by the Poor-law Commissioners. Mr. HAWES said the proviso did not really carry . out the Government principle. He objected to the words " licensed minister," the meaning of which had on several occasions been variously construed. He con tended for a " lawful minister" of any Dissenting con gregation having access to the children of the poor at all reasonable times, under the control of the district I board. He proposed therefore the substitution of the word " lawful" for the word " licensed," and the addition of the words " at all reasonable times of the day, as the guardians may appoint for the purposes mentioned in this clause." Sir J. GRAHAM said nothing could be in better taste than the way in which the I ion. Gentleman had represented the feelings of the Protestant Dissenters on that occasion, in abstaining f rom o pp os i ng th e ap pointment of a clergyman of the Established Church to each workhouse--(Hear, hear)—but at the same time standing up firmly for the great principles of toleration. —(hear, hear.) The words " licensed minister" were purposely copied by him (Sir James Graham) from other Acts, which he thought gave the widest construc tion to the principle the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Hawes) wished to see enforced. He (Sir ' James Graham) would not then decide whe ther the word, " licensed" or the word " lawful," or any other word should be used ; but he would con sult the law officers of the Crown, and also the Hon. Gentleman himself, between the present time and the bringing up of the report, in order that they might come to a mutual and proper agreement upon the sub ject.—(Hear, hear.) Till that time he thought it would be better to abstain from further discussion of the ques tion, which he was sincerely desirous to meet and to arrange in the same excellent spirit in which it had been brought forward by the Hon. Member for Lambeth. Mr. WAKLEY suggested that the interpretation of the words read by the Right Hon. Baronet should be in sertsd in the clause. Sir J. GRAHAM had no objection to their insertion, but he thought it would be better to postpone the dis cussion of the point until he had had an opportunity of consulting his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney- General.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COWPER, inquired whether the Government had any objection to insert in the clause a proviso for inspec tion ? Otherwise he feared the education would be of a very inferior character. The Hon. Member proposed that the Privy Council should have the power of in spection. Sir J. GRAHAM .had no objection to insert the proviso. —The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 39, 40, and 41, were agreed to without discus sion. On clause 42 being proposed, Mr. BERNARD complained of the injustice of the average system of rating for the support of the district schools. The system had been productive of great injuss tice in the Greenwich union. Sir J. GRAHAM had not been able very distinctly to catch the Hon. Member's observations, but he be lieved that generally the system of rating by averages had been found to operate fairly, although it might have inflicted hardship in some localities. Mr. BERNARD hoped that some alteration would take place, for the system had been productive of great injustice hi the Greenwich union. Mr. WAKLEY thought the observations of the Hon. Member for Greenwich were entitled to great attention. As he understood the Hon. Gentleman, it was that the expense of maintaining these schools should be defrayed by the-different'perishes, 141 proportion to the number of children belongifig to oech . parish' in the school, and not according talhe average")'ating Of. the parish to the union. If this Were mit ‘adQpt6a, cases might occur in Which parishes, having hilt , o-i;e e child iii the school, would have to pay as much siS, other parishes having eight or ten. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that by the clause, as it stood at present, the charge for the maintenance of the children was a parochial charge. It was the charge fur the establishment generally that was to be d e f raye d according to the average of rating. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 43 and 44 were then agreed to, with some verbal amendments. On clause 45 being proposed, Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved after the words " by virtue of this Act." to insert these words, " Provided always, and be it further enacted, that whenever it shall appear to the board of any district school, that the space within such school is more than sufficient for the accounnoth,- tion of poor children within the district for which such school shall have been built, it shall and may be lawful for such board to make order for the admission of so many other children residing in the said district as shall seem expedient ; and the weekly provision for the maintenance and education of such children shall be fixed by the board at such rate as shall in their judgment be amply sufficient to cover every expense on account of such children." lie thought the clause without some such addition would be giving a premium to pauperism ; and moreover it would tend to remove the stigma which must attack in after life to children educated in these schools, if they were devoted exclusi ve ly t o t h e e d ucation of paupers. • Mr. FEBRAND opposed the proposition, because it had a tendency to throesthe education of the country into iags G he , I r t fa A otre ll ,i f A vte M hreyy sa ffie i x d we dc t li bti e ill r de e rec sv nb 'e aw r r e go ue g l i d • f e o a br t et d hs 7 nse - t the hands of the P oor -l aw C ommissioners. c c h u l i S l t d i i t r, r s e j n i An at A t h i a e E S h c to the schools, and if it were low the plan would esta icelidi s n il e p n p t or of te th d e th H e o a n m .

In a conversation which we have just had with an officer of her Majesty's Navy, who has recently returned, after a long service on the coast of Africa, in ehe pursuit and capture of slave-ships, we have been assured that the statement of Lord Palmerston, in the House of Commons, last night, of the extent to which the slave-trade is carried on, with the at tendant cruelties and horrors, was not over-stated. At the same time much satisfaction is expressed at the strong ex pressions of Sir Robert Peel, that the Government will continue, most zealously, to put a termination to this inhuman traffic. But, while the Republic of the United States remains passive, as well as the Governments of Spain and the Brazils, in aiding the exertions of Great Britain and France to obtain so derirable an object, our informant is very stongly of opinion, after many descussions among the officers of the Queen's ships on the coast of Africa, that this abominable trade will n9t be put an end to. To th e prds peas of risings among' the slaves in the Brazils and the Southern States of America, the parties just referred to, in the naval service of this country, look almost with cer tainty, as the motive that will necessitate the easy and entire abolition of slavery. It will be in fact, a question of safety w ;! . . h the countries concerned to take measures for emancipating their hiliourers, and, as far as the Government is concerned, Brazil is ki. % °wn to be favourable, however strongly it may have to content: with its subjects.

ME REV. Da. WOLFF•—lntelligen ce has arrived by the way of Trebizond (from whence the dates are to the 24th of June), announcing the safe arrival at Bokhara of the Rev. Doctor, and that he had been kindly received by the Bokharees. No mention, however, is made as to whether he had found the ob jects of his journey, and therefore the next accounts are looked forward to with great anxiety. THIS D-A-Y'S NEWS. CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) Samuel Snow, a pensioner from the Rifle Brigade, was charged with the following misconduct : The prisoner received his pension yesterday, and, like most other pensioners, was determined to get drunk upon the strength of it. Police-constable, No. 34, met him in the New-road last night, with an immense crowd about him, and a naked cutlass in his hand, with which he threatened to "run through" every man, woman, and child present. How- ever, his extreme inebriety rendered his threats harmless; for the mob were all laughing at him when he attempted to tarry his threats into execution, and he was in much greater danger of hurting himself than others for he generally fell and rolled into the kennel. The policeman, however, se cured the cutlass, and took the prisoner into custody. The unfortunate fellow said, that having taken a glass too ' much, he got into the company o f some loose characters, by whom m w h a e s i di va s s ch ro a b rg b e e d. dof every shilling of his pension. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Robert Smith and George T.a:rton, two well-dressed men, were charged before Mr. Cottingham under the following cir cumstances : It appeared that on the preceding day the defendants went into the Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo -road, and began to take very indecent liberties with a young girl who happened to be there at the time. Some persons present resented the conduct of the defendants by throwing some beer over them, upon which they armed themselves with pewter pots, and struck at the people in the room, one of whom, named Isles, received a severe cut over the eye. In the confusion arising from the affray, the poor girl, who was insulted in the first instance by the defendants, in her attempt to get away fell over a stool and broke her leg, and was obliged to be taken to the hospital. The defendants were fined 31. each, and, in default, com mitted. James Carroll was charged with the murder of Elizabeth Hobbs, in the month of February last, in the Mint, South wark. It appeared that the prisoner rented a small tenement in the Mint, and that having had a quarrel with Elizabeth Hobbs, his lodger, he was seen to strike her on the head with a poker, from the effects of which she died, and an inquest having been held, a verdict of wilful murder was returned. The prisoner, however, absconded, and went to Ireland, where he has remained until within the last few days, when lie 'ventured into the neighbourhoOd of Tooley-street, and was taken into custody the preceding afternoon. When brought before the Magistrate, the prisoner did not attempt to deny the accuracy of his identity, and he was. remanded to certificate of indi c t ment from the clerk of the peace. - give an opp or t un ity f or th e p ro duction of the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JtTLY ,111_1144, . c v-- r received by a guard of honour. At three :o'clock, after attending church, he paid a visit to INIEnEmET Am, who met him at the door of the Audience Hall, and gave him a warm reception. On the 24th he dined with the PAcnA, and next day left for Suez, where he was to embark in the llindostan for India. From all accounts the interviews between the PACHA and the Governor-General were of the most friendly description; a circumstance highly honourable to this able and high-minded chief. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday, the amendments made by the Chamber of Peers on the Orleans and Bordeau Railway Bill were dis cussed. The chief amendment was the rejection of the 7th article, introduced by M. CREMIEUX, which pro • hibited Members:of the two Chambers from becoming contractors for works on railways and directors of companies. A discussion took place on this clause, and from the opposition made to it by the Govern ment and several influential Members, no doubt re mained that the Deputies would affirm the amend ment, and reject the absurd clause. The Committee on the election of M. CHARLES LAFITTE for Louviers met on Saturday. Having withdrawn the letter written by him to the Minister of Public Works, no objection was raised to his taking his seat; but the reporter, M. BERRYER, was directed, in recommend ing the admission of M. CHARLES LAFITTE, to pro pose to the Chamber that it should be intimated to him that his withdrawing of the letter must necessarily interdict him from taking any share, direct or indi rect, in the question of the branch of the Rouen Rail road to which it related. The papers bring no additional intelligence from Africa ; but all interest in the affair had died away, as it was generally believed that the Emperor of Moaocco would accede to the terms offered by France. On the 2d instant the whole of ' the Prince DE JOINVILLE'S squadron, consisting of the Suffren, Jemappes, and Triton, of the line, the Belle Poule frigate, and the Gassendi, Pluton, As modee, and Phare steamers, were assembled in the roadstead of Mers el Kebir. The Phare was dis patched on the Ist to Tangiers with the ultimatum of the French Government. The following are additional extracts from the papers : IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. SrooNER took the oaths, and his seat for Bir mingham. The Hon. Member was much cheered on his way to the table, The Hon. Gentleman was introduced by General Lygon and another Hon. Member. POOR-LAWS. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the order of the day for going into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill. On clause 37 being proposed, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the Poor-law Com missioners having the power either to appoint the number or the qualification of the district board, directed by this clause to be formed. He (Mr. bun combe) was happy to see the Hon. Member for Birming ham had taken his seat that morning. —(Hear.) lle was the newest importation from the country into that House—(Laughter)—and he should be glad if he would inform them what was now the opinion out of doors in reference to this poor-law. The Hon. Gentleman moved the omission from the clause of the words "giving to the Poor-law Commissioners the power to fix the number and qualifications of the members of the district board." Sir J. GRAHAM contended that this was a power which ought to be vested in the Poor-law Commis sioners. They had the power to appoint and limit the districts, and the number of the guardians was a con tingent power which, in his opinion, could not be as signed to a better authority. As to the qualification, he had no objection to the House defiding on that point, and for that purpose he now proposed to add the w or d s , " Not exceeding fifty pounds. ' Mr. HAWE' said he was glad to find that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir J. Graham) was disposed to give way on the subject of the qualification. Mr. DUNCOMBE said as the qualification was now to be defined, and was most properly kept within the limits already stated by the existing Act, he should not feel it his duty to press his amendment further. The amendment of Sir James Graham was then agreed to, and the words proposed by him were added to the clause. a gat nagiutt pat , ' anti 11,4 It wOulti rMatra much cenelduration, he trusteii it might be postpeued,--.(Sir J. Graham was understood to dissent.) He begged, then, to say that he could not apprOve of the clause, as he looked upon it as calculated to inflict serious hardships upon the casual poor. Sir J. GRAHAM said that before the close of the present session he hoped to be able to introduce a Bill to amend the law of settlement, and he thought the ques tion of removal would come under that branch of the poor-law.—(Hear, hear.) The provision for removal was now indispensable on account of the proposal to es tablish asylums. (LEFT SITTING.) MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN - EXCHANGE--WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat was by no means good, yet we have to report a very heavy inquiry for that article, at Monday's reduced prices. In free Foreign Wheat next to nothing was doing, at late rates, while in grain, under lock, no transactions took place worthy of notice. Barley was in short supply, yet the inquiry for it was in a sluggish state, and Monday's quotationswere barely supported. Malt might have been purchased at further reduced prices.
