Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition against the CApitular Estates Bill, which he proposed should be re ferred to the Select Committee on that Bill. REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition against (as we understood) this Bill. Lord BROUGHAM wished to draw their attention to an admirable pamphlet which had recently been pub lished, written by Mr. Hszlitt, on this subject, which be had read with great pleasure, and he might add instruc tion, which gave an epitome of the Bill, and an admir able account of all the arguments which had been pro duced for and against the measure. Lord CAMPBELL, in moving that the report of the Select Committee be received, agreed that in the work alluded to the objections to the measure bad been admi rably and manfully met. The Noble and Learned Lord then proceeded to explain various technical modifications to which he was prepared tq assent. Lord LYNDHURST signified his approval of the amendments which had been introduced into the Bill. After a short discussion the Bill was recommitted, in order to be reported on Monday. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the attorneys of Buogay in favour of the County Courts Emtension Bill. SALMON FISHERIES.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Cam Navigation Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITION. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a petition from Lin coln in favour of the Lodging-house Bill. TRANSPORT OF IRISH PAUPERS TO ENGLAND. Colonel CHATTERION asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he had received any communication from the Poor Law Commissioners re specting the inquiry he promised he would direct them to make as regards the treatment of certain paupers conveyed by steam-packet from London to Cork; and, if so, whether he had any obj.ction to lay it on the table of the House? Sir G. GREY said that an inquiry had been made on the subject, hut the report presented was so defective that he had sent hack for further information on the subject. SMITHFIELD MARKET REMOVAL BILL.' On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir JAMES DUKE complained that since the Bill had been sent down from the Select Committee a sche dule had been attached to it increasing the tolls at least 100 per cent., which he considered a most oppressive charge. He should suggest that the schedule should be referred back to the Stlect Committee. Sir G. GREY thought the time to discuss the sche'dule was when the House was in Committee. He should, however, object to have the schedule referred back to the Select Committee. Sir JAMES DUKE then moved that the House re solve itself into Committee this day six months. If any one read the evidence they would see that it was not strong enough to justifiy the shutting up of a single shop. The decision of the Committee was carried only by a single casting vote, and in fact, considering that one of the Committee was a member of the Government, who it was well known was there for one purpose only, it was easily accounted for. He acknowledged that if they could not prevent cattle passing through the street in the day time they would deserve to have it shut up, but the City had offered to remove this. He hoped the House would reconsider its decision, for ho was con vinced that the Bill when carried out would lead to numerous evils, other 'markets would spring up awl a race of middle-men be created, and the public materially injured by the change. He believed this was the brat • instate° in which the Government had felt it elf called Upon to advance public money to erect a market. Great anxiety had been felt as to the site of the new market, and as to who the future Commissioners were to be, but the Government had been obstinately silent on these im- Portaet points. He thought the best course to be taken would be to withdraw the Bill, at least for the present, and to allow the Corporation to amend the evils which were complained of. Mr. lIIJNIE thou g ht t h at the Government were not justified in Were com imposing t h e a ddi t i onal rates which pl a i n , dof without allowing them to be con sidered by the Committee. Until that had been done the Bill ought not to be proceeded with. He also com plained of the mysterious reserve of the Government with regard to the site of the market. Sir G. GREY still continued to think that the Com mittee of the whole Rouse was the proper tribunal to discuss t he schedule._ As r egarded the site he must re peat his former li _deeltartaltiou that th e G overnment had not made the s ghtes pproximation towards choosing tn Dew Market. sv• th e s i g ht for -,' , , Ith regard to the 0,,e 01 to rernu,d, seat motion, ho ue,6 the House that the pre subject of the Bill hal been fully discussed on a former occasion. Mr. A. STAFFORD complained of the introduction of a e r v k e e r every hour. This the new schedule of tolls at the a e n le d ve a e fi th ec . affected nut only was the main question of tte,B il l, either h and, th : 3 au l t ia the Government and the City on i grazier who brought up a s in . g e_ ,_ sh e e n ep d. to arra the whole general in nu' public E /10U , ht it would be more Mr. CORNE WALL LE WIS t . a the sepa rate 0 discussion convenient to take the di clauses when in Committee, ar.d not to re - open the general question on the motion f or the Speaker leaving the Commissioners the ch a i r.

W. WIL LIAMS entered a protest against the Bill on behalf of the Surrey side of the water. The House had no right to force the inhabitants of that dis trict to a market four miles beyond the north side o London. Mr. ELIE WEN had been given to understand that this Bill would not now be before the House but for the casting vote of the chairman of the Select Committee, and under these circumstances, as the vaat majority of the metropolis was opposed to th e Bill, he should sup port the amendment. Mr. W. PATTEN hoped the House would consider, now the Select Committee was nominated, before it al lowed itself to bo influenced by the argument of the ion. Member who had just sat down. L should be remem bered that at least a half of the Committee were op posed to the Bill before it went before them; but the Chairman was a p u r e ly disinterested person, who took no hitereat in the Bill either one way or the other, and ou the whola he thought the Committee bad arrived at 9. most impartial conclusion. M. 11,IbE should support the amendment, becaus e the rem o val of th e mar k et wou ld b e a groa t inconveni ence to the public. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY trusted the Mouse would allow him to ,ay a few words on this motion, us the preheat was the only time that the Government Bill had been discussed in the douse. The House ought to ob serve a sense of justice in its judicial proceedings, and before they passed the Bill of pains and penalties they should wait to hear what arguments could be adduced against it. Pass the Bill, and it, would be tantamount to telling the country that Government were of opinion that the citiz,ns were unfit to me nag their I own affairs ; but he insistsA that this Bill was an inter ference with the rights of the corporation which the con atitntiondid not san ct i on . Th e pr i nciple of centraliza tion, which the Government wag Cllde3YOUring to carry out in its domiltic legislation, was highly objectionable; and as the Bill was intender] to push that principle a step further, he implored the House to rej,ct it at once. in removing the market from :he centre of the metropolis, as t: is Bill proposed, they would increase the nuisance at present complained of threefold, while i would add to the expanses of the iiitropelis, and as the Bill was an act of the grossest injustice, under no circum stances ought it to he passed. Mr. BURROUGHES went into the Committee on thi. Bill perfectly disinterested in the matter, and the conclusion he came to was theresult of a long and watch ful investigation. Mr. MASTERMAN, as one of the Members for the city of London, felt it to be his bounden duty to oppose the Bill. It unjustly interfered with the rights of his constituents, and to pass it would be doing a great wrong. The House then divided, when there appeared — For going into Committee ... ••• 64 ' Against it ••• ••• ••• ••• 26 Afajority —3B The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1 being proposed, Sir J. DUKE called upon the Government to say now and name in the Bill who were to be the Commissioners to carry out the Bill. Sir G. GREY said the Government had not fixed upon any Commissioners yet, and he hoped it would never ho necessary for them to do so, for he was nr,t without some expectation that the City would eventually undertake the management of the Bill. Alderman SIDNEY assured the Right Hon. Baronet that the City would never undertake anything of the sort. They would not consent to manage a market so far off, in which they had no interest. After a few remarks from Mr. A. STAFFORD and Mr. FORSTER, Mr. C ARDWELL said the necessity fora Commission could not arise for three years, and to name them now would be absurd, because they might die in the interval. Mr. W. WILLIAMS repeated that the Bill would only extend the principle of centralizAtion, which ap peared to be in so much favour with the Government. After some observation from Mr. Bucx and Mr. P. MILES, Mr. V. SMITH could see no objection to naming the Commissioners now, inasmuch as in the event of the city of London not undertaking the administration of the Bill within six months, the Government would be bound to appoiotmeent. Sir H. VERNEY said gentlemen could not be named as Commissioners without being first consulted on the subject, but he fully anticipated that the City would ultimately see the expediency of taking upon themselves the management of the market. Sir JAMES DUKE said there was another reason why the Commissioners should be named now, and that was the Commissioners would have power t.) select the site for the new market. Now their selection might be highly objectionable, and he hoped they would be named now, so that the public might have an opportunity of ap proving or disapproving of th,m. Sir G. GREY was understood to intimate that the selection of the site would be subject to the approval Government. The House then divided on the question that the firal clause stand part of the Bill, when there appeared — For the clause Against it Majority The clause was accordingly agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. A. STAFFORD wished to know, before they proceeded further, where the site of the new market was to be. He thought both the questions, as well as who were to be the Commissioners, ought to be settled at once. At all events, the power of the Commissioners to select the site, should be confined to particular districts. Mr. MACKINNON thought it would be highly in judicious to disclose where the site was to be, because it would give rise to all sorts of speculations in the locality, and increase the price of the land that might be re quired for the market. He hoped, therefore, the time of the Committee would be no longer taken up ou this subject. Mr. C. LEWIS could only repeat the answer which had already been given to the same question, namely, that the Government had come to no conclusion on the subject of the site, nor had they yet turned their atten tion to it. After a few words from Mr. Bucx and Sir J. DUKE, Mr. W. WILLIAMS insisted that the Committee had no right to pass the Bill in utter darkness of who were to be the Commissioners or where the new market was to be. Alderman SIDNEY said it would be useless to pass the Bill, as it never could become law; but under any circumstances it was only right that so important a sub ject as the removal of a great and an ancient market should be discussed in a fuller House, and he should therefore move that the Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said no advantage could be obtained from such a proceeding; for at the present period of the session it was not probable that the Bill would attract a fuller Committee. Mr. W. WILLIAMS also appealed to the Hon. Mem ber not to persevere in his amendment. Alderman SIDNEY contended once more that the rights of two millions of people were far too important to be entrusted even to the discretion of a Secretary of State; but nevertheless he would not put the Committee to the trouble of dividing on his motion. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. On claim , ' 3, Sir JAMES DUKE moved the insertion of words to render it incumbent ihat the site of the new market should be subject to the approval of Parliament. Sir G. GREY had no objection to the amendment, but it was wholly unnecessary, as in all probability the matter would have to come before Parliament again if the duty of selecting the site fell upon the Commis sioners. The clause was then agreed to, as,were also clauses 4, 5,6, 7,8, and 9. On clause 10, Sir J. DUKE proposed the omission of words, to leave it optional with the public to open as many markets as they liked. Mr. C. LEWIS opposed the amendment, as it would entirely d. feat the object of the Bill. Alderman SIDNEY and Mr. W. WILLIAMS supported the amendment. Mr. CARDWELL resisted the amendment. The words proposed to be left out had been adopted from the Smithfield charter, and as they might have the effect of continuing the market under the control of the Cor poration, ho was at a lose to understand how they could be omitted. After a short discussion the Committee divided, when there app. ared— For the amendment Against it -37 ... 21 ... 48 Majority against the amendment —27 Alderman SIDNEY then moved the omission of words so as to allow Smithfield-market to be continued. Toe Committee again divided, when the numbars Were-- FA. the amendment 20 Against it ... ... 47 Majority aga i nct it ... ... —27 Mr. A. STAFFORD next proposed that the limits within which markets should be established should be reduced from a radius of seven miles from St. Paul's to three or five miles. Mr. CARL) WELL said the limit was fixed by the Smithfield Charter, and he could not see what objection there was to it. Sir JAMES DUKE supported the amendment that the limit be three miles instead of seven. After a short discussion the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment lB Against it Maj.)rity for the clause —2B The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses were added to the Bill, and the Chuirm,u was directed to report it to the House. The House having resumed, the CHAIRMAN did so accirdingly. The House then, at Four o'clock, adjourned until Six. 'he Hnnse resumed at Six o'clock. Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition from Arbroath in favour of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Lord DUDLEY presented a petition from the Tower Hamlets against the duty on carriages. Mr. KERSHAW presented a petition from a place in Lancashire against the Regium Donum. ACCIDENTS OF RAILWAYS. Lord NAAS asked the President of the Board of Trade the following question. That as several of the late accidents to travellers and workmen have been manifestly caused by ncglect and carelessness, whether it i. the intention of the Government to proposa any measure during the present session for the more effi ate t protection of persons travelling by stesm•vessels or railroads, or of those employed in working steam ma chinery, Mr. LABOLICEIERE said the law with regard to steam vessrl, .

MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF LOUTH. The Louth Advertiser of Tuesday contains the fol lowing account of another dreadful ageariun murder in that county : The excitement produced by the murder of Mr. Coulter has hardly subsided when it becomes our duty to record another barbarous murder perpetrated in the same county, and within a few miles of the scene of the former tragedy. The victim in the present instance was a young man, about 19 years of age, who bore the highest character. He was honest, industrious, and religious. His name was Ber nard M'lntegart, son of a respectable man who resides at a place called Annas, within about four miles of Dundalk. The murder, like that of Mr. Coulter, was perpetrated in the broad daylight, and in a populous locality. Young M'lntegart lett his father's house about seven o'clock on Sunday morning, in company with his sister, to at tend mass at Knockbridge Chapel, and, having passed through some fills, they came upon the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway. It was here, between a small cut ting, that the murderers came upon him. They beat him in the presence of his sister with short heavy sticks until he became insensible. His sister, in the most earnest manner, besought them to have mercy on him, but they heeded not her cries, and when she flung her self on his body, to protect him from the violence of the murderers, oae of them struck the poor girl, and in flicted a severe would on her forehead. We may here mention that he died on Monday morning. There can bo no doubt that the murder should be ascribed to an agrarian cause. The father of the deceased had re cently come into the possession of some land which had been the subject of litigation. It appeared that the land in question was held by three tenants named Put Berle, John M'Ardle, and Henry Callaghan, who were unable to pay the rent. Law proeeedings were insti• tilted against them, and they gave up possession, hav ing received compensation for doing so. The land was then taken by Mr. Edward M'Ardle, a respect able shopkeeper, residing iu Park-street, Dundalk, who held it only one year. On his relinquishing it, pos session was given to the father of the deceased, in March last, by Mr. John Woolsey, agent to Mrs. Foster, of Fair-hill, the owner of the property. But no sooner had the new tenant commenced to cultivate the lands than an attempt was made to obstruct him by several persons. They were brought before the magistrates, and some of them were bound to keep the peace, and so the matter stood until Sunday last, when the poor young fellow already named was most treacherously and cruelly way laid." An inquest was held on the body of the wretched young man on Monday, and a verdict returned to the effect "that the deceased came by his death in conse quence of a wound inflicted on his head by a blunt Instrument by some person or persons unknown." ROYAL POLYTECHAIC INSTITUTION. On Monday last we attended the first of a course of lectures ; delivered here by J. 11. Pepper, Esq., " On the Minerals and Crystals of the Great Exhibition." After an explanation of the intention of the course, which the lecturer allowed conid be (so far as informa tion was concerned) but a grain of sand on the seashore, in consequence of the numerical strength of the collection, he commenced with the valuable gems, the diamond, the ruby, the pearl, and stated that, considering these represented the most beautiful creations of the mineral kingdom, it could be no more a matter of surprise when people sought after them than in visiting collections of rare animals or flowers. A magnificent set of diamonds, &c., valued at 3,0001., kindly lent by Messrs. Widdowson and Neale, Strand, also rough diamends, with the tools for polishing this gem, by Messrs. Hunt and Roskill, Boad•street; copies of all the great diamonds by Professor Tennant, and many valuable gems by Mr. Johnson of Soho,— these were all shown to great advantage by the oxy hydrogen light, and demonstrated in' the most decided manner how little the gems at the Great Exhibition could be appreciated by the shaded day light; and we are glad to hear that the Koh-i -noor is now illuminated by gas flame. The lecturer then proceeded to tell his audience that the most brilliant diamond, even the costly Koh-i-noor, was nothing but charcoal; the most perfect ruby was alu mina, the chief characteristic of clay, and the most lovely pearl little more than chalk and white of egg, or albu men. The diamond, plumbago, anthracite, represented the natural varieties of carbon, but the first only was prizad on account of its peculiar structure, its hard ness, its rarity. The project of mskiug diamonds was also discussed in a very interesting manner. Mr. Pepper did nut beiieve that that any process where excessive heat was concerned could produce the diamond from char coal, a solvent must be sound , and then the artificial diamond might be looked fur. The crystalline term, the mode of finding, grinding, polishing, and the valu ing were all matters of interest, and would be discussed ; 'slid the lecturer concluded his illustrations by two most satisfactory though simple experiments. Into two bottles of oxygen were placed common charcoal, and the diamond (a piece of birt or refuse diamond), both being previously heated red hot, carbonic acid gas was the product, in both cases shown by the lime water becoming milky, and the audi ence separated, evidently satisfied with the commence.. ment of a course of instruction which will enable them to explain to others the real nature of the crystals at the Palace of Industry. DELUSIVE IGNORANCE OF WORKMEN. As there is nothing more delusive than igno rance, nothing more dangerous to the future con • dition of art than self-confidence when associated with it; we are glad to think that the existence of this Exhibition affords means of removing what has long interfered with that progress—the want of arti.t workmen. Fur example, we may remark, that the practice of studying flowers from nature, which is con stantly observed iu France, when they are introduced in decorative work, is almost unknown in this country. Yet, what real artist would think of dispensing with the model, whether he possessed great knowledge of nature or not. The fortes of nature should of course be ob served whenever natural flowers are introduced, and close observance of the work or nature may be said to be hardly less necessary, even when conventional treatment is re sorted to, since everything in fl ,riated work must at least be consi.tent. We learn from one of the chief members of the Committee of the North London Drawing School for Artisans, that there is very great difficulty in getting English workmen to adopt this rational plan. We o wn we were hardly surprised to hear this. There has long been too much self sufficiency in these matters, at least amongst the artisans of the metropolis. Many think it a great indignity to be desired to work from " a . copy," con ceiving that, having passed a regular apprenticeship, and had several years practice, they must be perfect in the cut of a laurel leaf, or flower. Whea once persuaded to work from nature, these men surpass their former work, and, much to their own surprise. Individuals who are employing working carvers, have been greatly struck with the feeling for Are shown by French carvers, several of whom have lately come over to this country--and the absence of that feeling amongst the class in England. Some of these French workmen were once asked, if they would like to see some good pic.ures ; they thanked the inquirer warmly for the offer, saying that they had not been able to see any good ones yet; that they had been into the Pan theou, in Oxford-street, and " qu' it n'y avait que des croutes a pretty accurate character of the class of pictures upon the walls of the Pantheon, but one which we fear few English workmen would have been able to give. For, whilst such men were anxious to take every opportunity of cultivating a love of art, there was considerable difficulty in attracting any attention to the interesting exhioition at the North London School, from the class for whose special benefit it was intended, and this even in the case of workmen in the employ of the chief promoters of the undertaking, and from whom, on that account, some de gree of interest might have been expected. We believe that in the manufacturing districts the germ of a much higher condition of art in this particular exists, and this is, we learn, shown by the demand for prints of a high class amongst artisans.—Architectural Quarterly Review, June, 1851.

It is rumoured that a poor pressman of the name of Richard Aldridge, is to likely come into possession of about b e being heir to Hecidington Hill estate, China-laaa near Oxford. As Professor Nichol very truly remarks, '° investiga. tion regarding such aggregations is virtually a branch of atomic and molecular inquiry,"—with stars in place of atoms—mighty spheres in place of " dust"—" the firma. ment above" instead of " the firmament beneath." In fact, the astronomer, in sweeping, with his tel e s co pi c eye, the " blue depths ot ether , " is, as it were, some Li liputian inhabitant of an atom itself, or rather of one little corner of an atom, prying into the stoma' struc ture of some Brobdignagian world of " star-dust," or ganized into spiral and other elementary forms—of life, it may be, something like our own. The infinite height appears, in short, like a mirror of the infinite d ept h , and we know not precisely where we stand between the two immensities of depth and height! The shapes evolved by the wonderful telescope of Lord Rosso are, many of them, absolutely fantastical: wonder and awet are mingled with almost ludici ous feelings in contem plating the strange apparitions—strange monstrosities we had almost called them—that are depicted on the black ground of the illustrations. One aggregation looms forth out of the darkness like the skeleton face of some tremendous mammoth, or other monstrous denizen of ancient time, with two small fiery eyes, however, gazing out of its great hollow orbits. Another consists of a central nucleus, with arms of stars radiating forth in all directions like a star-fish, or rather like the scatter ing fire sparks of some pyrotechnic wheel revolving. A third resembles a great wisp of straw, or twist or coil of ropes —a fourth a corkscrew or other spiral seen on end—a fifth a crab—a sixth a dumbbell—many of them scrolls or rolls of some thin texture seen edgeways, and au on.

This was an action of trover brought by Captain Heald against the defendant, who is agent of the London and Dunkirk Shipping Company, to recover the value of a case of pictures which had been sent from Paris to Eng land via Dunkirk, and which, having been cleared the Custom-house by the defendant, without (as was alleged) the plaintiff's authority, and afterwards removed to is warehouse in Seething-lane, was burnt there in a fire which destroyed the warehouse and adjoining premises. Mr. Sergeant Byles end Mr. Rochfort Clarke were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Mainsty, for the defendant. George Frederick Nisbett was examined by Mr.Roch fort Clarke, and said—l am the plaintiff's valet. In August last the plaintiff resided at an hotel in the Place Vendome, Paris. He gave me instructions to pack up and send seven cases of pictures, bronzes, and other ar ticles by the Chemin de Fer du Nord to Dunkirk, to be ahiop'd from thence to England. The goods were pro perly packed and forwarded, addressed, " Nisbett, Cus tom-house, London." On my arrival in England I ap plied to the defendant, as agent of the Dunkirk Shipping Company's office, for the cases. He told me he had re ceived six cases, but the seventh had been broken up on the railway, and they were doing their best to get the case or damages for it from the railway company. He referred me to Mr. Nelsham, a Custom-house agent, and I went to him and gave him instructions to clear the six cases, and send them to Usher's Hotel, Suffolk street. I also told him if he obtained the seventh case to clear it. There were eleven pictures in the seventh case. Their value was 2371. Ido not recollect all the pictures, but I should if you would mention it. Mr. Rochforr Clarke—Well, was one of them " Le P6she Mignon ?"—Yes. Mr. Watson—What is that; give us the English of it? Mr. Clarke—l do not know that it is not English. Mr. Sergeant BYLES—At any rate it is a language known all the world over. Mr Watson—Well, what is it? Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—You may see it in all the printsellers' windows. Mr. Watson—l never look in them, my Lord. Mr. Sergeant BYLES —Well, it is called " the little sin," and represents a young lady kissing herself in a looking-glass.—(Laughter.) Mr. Clarke—Were there also two pictures called " Les Amez .ns?" Witness—Yes; also the portraits of a horse and dug, a Dutch painting; a portrait of Mr. Heald; and a portrait of the Countess of Landsteldt (Lola Monies). There were also four pastels. Mr. WATsow—What are they? Witness—Crayon drawings. Two were of female figures with birds; another a lady with a fan; and a large one representing Cupid holding a glass, and a lady looking in it.— (Laughter.) Mr. Heald bought the pictures in London before he went to live in Paris. Cross-examined by Mr. WATSON—I still live with Mr. Heald. I saw the pictures in London, and after wards in Paris. I saw some of the paintings at Mr. Watson's. Mr. Sergeant BYLES —What! in the Temple?--- (Laughter.) Witness—No. In Piccadilly. " Les Amazons" were at the barracks. They were not two stout ladies on horseback.—(Laughter.) The figures were rather slight. The countess's portrait was a half length in oil. When the cases were sent off, I declared the value of this case to be 900 f., and I insured it for that sum against injury. Mr. Nelshani, a Custom-house broker, deposed that the last witness having applied to him, he cleared the six cases in August last. In September he went to the de fendant's on other business, and was told the seventh case had arrived, and that the defendant had cleared it arid paid the duty. He told defendant's son he should not have done that, but that if he would send the case to him he would pay the duty and charges. It was not sent. A few days after the fire defendant called on him and told him of the loss, and asked him if Barber was illdtieled in removing the cases from the warehouse where he had placed them to the one in Seething lane without his knowledge, and if he (Barber) would not be respon sible for doing so. If the defendant had not cleared the case on its arrival it would have been taken to the Queen's warehouse, and would have remained there for three months and fourteen days, unless claimed before that period. A clerk from Mr. Barber's office proved that the case was deposited at their warehouse, near the docks, by the defendant, and that as they were pressed for room there it was removed with other goods to another warehouse in Seething-lane, as was their usual course of business. The warehouse in Seething -lane was accidentally burnt down, end the goods warehoused in it were destroyed. Mr. Zimmerman, of Bond-street, proved that he sold the picture " Le Peeho Mignon" to the plaintiff in 1849. should b for 631., and the timr. pictures,oaealdis a young inn "Lea ou Awn ins," by d Dreux, for 161.

Mr. Roche (from Mi tc h e ll' s i n Bond•street) proved that he sold tw o of t h e p aste l s to M r. Heald, in January, 1849, for 401. Th e f rames c rat two guineas each besides. llr. Watson, c arver an d g il der, Piccadilly, proved Y a e that the pictures were at his shop for some time before they were sent to Paris. "Le PaS;he Mignon" was a magnificent drawing, such as was seldom seen. He considered the price given for it was very low. " Les Aruasons" were also very fine paintings. A gentleman offered him 151. each for copies of them whilst they were in his shop, but he told him he could not lot him have copies without Mr. Heald's permission. Another picture wits a portrait of a favourite horse and dog of Mr. Heald's, by Spalding. The dog was feeding the horse with carrots, as it was accustomed to do. Being por traits, the painting would not be worth so much to another person, but the artist had a groat reputation, and 151. was a fair value to put upon it. Mr. Heald's portrait was a water colour by Coke Smyth. H e was drawn at full lengthin regimentals. Seven g u i neas was the price paid for it. The Countess of Landsteldt' s por trait was in oil. It was by Middleton, an artist of cele brity. The picture cost 301., and the fram e seven guineas.

It was by Brocharte, on e o f th e finest as Lists in Europe, and was as beautiful a cray on as the witness ever saw. Mr. Sergeant BYLES —Which was tha ?

HERMES, Esq. and A. M _...oNTGoblaty, Esq.) eu n e E e c c a Tu_ p iE E ß NA O L F Ty COM l, P o o oo ter . De FOR CONVICTIONAD ULTERATING 7 A Mr. Thomas Hill, of John-strset, Wilmington-sqaare, 0M was charged before the Court in four informations with manufacturing and vending a sertaiu compound in imi tation of and to be used as a substitute for malt and hops. Dr. Bateman conducted the :ase on the part of the Crown. The court was crowded to eetess during the whole of the proceedings, and the greatest interest prevailed. Mr Commissioner STEPIIRttioN said that, by the statemeet before him, it appeared that the defendant had been guilty of repeated (deuces of a very serious descrip tion, by supplying persons wits an article for the pur pose of adulterating their beer. He considered that this was a case that ought to be male public, and that these nefarious transactions ought lot to be smothered up or passed over without the Court knowing something of the circumstances. Dr. BATEMAN then briefly stated the case for the prosecution, and called Mr. David Scott, who stated that he is a supervisor of inland Revenue, and on the 13Lh of February he went to the premises of the defendant in John•street, Wil mington-square. On that day he made a seizure on the premises of Mr. Folkard, a licensed victualler, who keeps the Blue Posts Tavern, West India Ducks. He there seized a keg, containing Iwo gallons of an article used fur the purpose of adulterating beer. He made another seizure on the premises of William Freer, the Cricketers, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. It was a si milar description of stuff He made another seizure at the house of William Schram, Commercial road. He had subsequently made seizures of a similar description in the houses of usher licensed victuallers. The articles seized had been examined by the chemists to the board, and they were proved to be such articles as are used by licensed victuallers as substitutes for malt and hops. From the bills or parcels that find been pro duced by these parties, it appeared that the whole of these articles had been supplied by Hill and Co. Witness went to Mr. Hill, and told him who he was. He in quired of him whether he knew tne firm of Hill and Co., of Wilmington-square, and he replied that he did. He (witness) inquired whether he knew Mr. Fri er, of the Cricketers, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, and i.e ad mitted that he did. He had since seen the defendant in John- street. He had aecertained that he was the tenant. He bad seen Mr. Eames, his original landlord, who stated that he held the premises ot him; but that agree ment had been cancelled, and ho now held them direct from a Mr. Gaston. William Freer said he kept the sign of the Cricketers in Cneyne-walk, Chelsea. The defendant Hill, called upon him, and after remarking that his beer did not look so well as his neighbour., introduced an article that would, he said, have the effect of putting a better head upon it. He called it "ex spruce, and by using halt-a-gallon of it a butt of beer would admit ot fifteen gallons ot water being added to it. lie offered to send a man to show him how to use it. He had some on the 30th of November, a portion of which was seized by the officers. As he did nut .ike it, he left off using it. The defendant said he should use more of it, as he had not used sufficient. He (witness) had been prosecuted, con victed, and paid a penalty of 204 lit'. Commissioner s —TEPRENS—Horf did you become acquainted with the detendaut? Mr. Freer said his tra veller called upon him, and recommen led the article as au improvement to the beer. He never had any of it but from the defendant. He was a perfect stranger to bun. He had been convicted and paid the penalty. Mr. Folkard arid several other eceused victuallers gave similar evieence. Mr. Cum unesiouer STEPRENsON said the circumstances of the Coise were new clearly before the Court, and they were quite ready to hear any explanation that the de- Medalst had to offer. The defendant then said that about two years ago he was induced, through an advertisement, to become the tenant of premises for carrying on a business that be came a failure, and caused the loss of nearly halt the property he possessed, but being unable to get rid of the tenancy of the premises he was induced to enter upon the manufacture of syrups, and while so engaged a person came and stated that he was capable of making syrup cordials for publicans; and had in his possession a recipe for making an article which had the quality of improving and finiug porter, and preventing the acidity arising from brewers' tiulugs. Now, that person who introduced the article to him is the same whose case was men tioned in the papers of Monday, who there acknowledged that he was an 'wormer, and in the pay of tee Excise, and had been committed to prison fur three months, for the desertion of his child. He could assure them that the article was sold under the impression that its sale was legal, as it was found openly iu the publican's cellar and nu caution was ever given to put it out of the way, and ho believed that the publicans as well as himself were not aware that they received an illegal article into their possession, but had suffered under au old Act, which although not repealed, they believed to be obso lete, especially us another Act has since passed, permit ting the brewing of beer from sugar. With regard to the composition of the spruce itself, so far as his knowledge of it went, there wa. nothing but what was wholesome in it, the great bulk of it being composed of sugar, and as to any profit being derived from it, he Could satisfy the Court that none of it had ever found its way into his pocket, and that not 301. worth of it was sold altogether. What he had suf fered since the commencement of these proceedings he would not attempt to describe; his hopes fur his family were blasted, and his name sullied by hints in the news papers and elsewhere, industriously circulated, that he had entrapped the unwary publican in order to share hi. fine, but nu proof could be brought for such foul impu tations. At the first hint ut the illegality of the sale it was discontinued, and would never again be resumed. He implored them to have mercy upon him, for the sake ut his wife and children; that the fine might be such as he could pay, and that he might not be committed to a felon's gaol. Dr. &TEXAN said the man Palmer, spoken of by the defendant, had left his service since August, 1850, and that all the iliformattuns in which the detundAnt was involved were for transactions committed subsequently o that time. Mr. WATSON—Oh, oh, that was Cupid disporting him self.—(Laughter.) Mr. Clarke—l am in the employ of a laceman in Lon don. In 1848 my employer sold the large pastel of Cupid and the Glass to Mr. Heald. Wo asked 35 guineas for it, but sold it for 30 guineas. This being the plaintiff's case, Mr. WATSON submitted that there was no evidence of a wrongful conversion by the defendant. Mr. Commissioner STEPHENSON said the penalty that would be given against the defendant would be a heavy one. Hu had sought the publicans, and they had not sought him. They had made use of the infor mation they received in making detections of the fl grant system that had been practised by him, and should give judgmsnt against him on two counts in the penalty of one thousand p oun d s. Th e d e fendant might petition for a mitigation, but the amount would be very con siderable. Mr. 'justice WILLIAMS said he would reserve the point, but the case must go to the jury. Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury, contending that all the defendant had done had been with a view to the benefit of Mr. Heald and the safety of the case, and that ho was by no means responsible for the unfortu nate result of his interference, which, moreover, he would prove to have been authorised by the plaintiff. Witnesses were then called, who proved that the case in question having sustained some injury on the French railway, it was, pursuaut to the custom in France, exa mined on the behalf of the railway by an expert, who discovered that all the damage done was, that three glasses of pictures in the case had been broken in the carriage. It was then repacked and delivered to the Dunkirk Shipping Company's agent at Dunkirk, who sent it to the defendant with a bill of lading as follows: " Case containing pictures, to be delivered at port of London to Mr. Cary, to hold at the disposal of Nisbett, Custom House, London, or order, on payment of freight, 21. 12s. 6d. Goods to be transhipped in twenty -tour hours, or else they will be warehoused at cost and risk of sander." Mr. Sergeant BYLES replied, and contended that the defendant's evidence did not show any authority what ever to the defendant by the plaintiff, and that but for the defendant's unauthorized interference the ease would have been safely deposited in the Queen's warehouse until the plaintiff sent for it. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up, and left it to the jury to say—first, whether the plaintiff authorized the defendant to receive the case; secondly, whether his object in receiving it was to do the best he could for the consignee; and thirdly, whether he acted as a prudent man would have done by it. The jury answered all these questions in the negative, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1504 da mages. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 18. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) The number of causes set down for trial at those sit tings is 44, of which 4 are special jury causes. There are also 38 remanats. ROARE V. BALDWIN. This was an action of libel, brought by Miss Hoare, whose name as a suitor in the courts at Westminster is not unfamiliar to them public, against the defendant, as pro prietor of the Morning Herald. On the cause being called on, and the jury being sworn, Miss Hoare applied to the Lord Chief Baron for an order directing the keeper of newspap.rs in the British Museum to produce the paper which contained the supposed libel, and which had been returned to the Stamp-office. The Learned Judge, hav ing consulted with the other judges in the adjoining court, was of opinion that he had no power to make such an order. The plaintiff then, by consent of the defendant's counsel, withdrew the record. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, GLD COURT. (Before Mr. GURNEY, Q.C.)

Thomas lleed, 35, wino m,rciiant, was indintA for fe u:, ring a f-rged acceptance. , to a bill (.f ex change for 154, with intent to defraud SA:21101 iluitue Day.: _ Sir. Cooper prosecuted, and Ur. Parry defended the prisoner. It will be remembered that at the last session the prisoner was acquitted upon two indictment s c h arg i ng him with uttering two other forged bills, with intent to de fraud the same prosecutor. It appeared that the prisoner had formerly carried on the business of a wine merchant, in partnership with his brother at Bath, but the partnership was dissolved in 1846, and since that perid the prisoner had no inte rest whatever in the business. The prosecutor, who is a wine -merchant in Pudding-lane, had been in the habit of doing business with the firm at Bath, and on tree 28th March the prisoner purchased some champagne, which he represented was for the firm of Reed and Co., at Bath, and he accepted a bill for the amount as for that firm, and it appeared that the wino was afterwards ap peopriated to his own purposes. Mr. PARRY, on behalf of the prisoner, adopted the same line of defence as on the former occasion, urging that there was no positive testimony to negative the probability that the prisoner might, from his former connexion with the firm at Bath, have considered that he was jutified in the proceeding he had taken. Mr. Justice COLNRIDGE summod up, and The jury, after delib-rating for more than an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty of uttering the forged in strument, but recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his former respectable position and good character. Mr. COOPER, on behalf of the prosecution, also joined in the recommendation to mercy. The Le.arned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for two years. THIRD COURT. (Before the COMMoN bERGEA.NT.) George Dwane Mayne, 24, clerk, was indicted for un lawfully attempting to obtain from the Monarch Fire and Life Assurance Company the sum of 1001., with in tent to cheat and defraud. The prisoner, who had been arraigned yesterday and pleaded Guilty, was brought up for judgment. The COMMON SERGEANT, in pa-sing sentence, told the prisoner that the offence he had pleaded guilty to was one of a very serious character, it being a most gross abuse of the confidence reposed in him. Happily his plans had been frustrated, but not by any act on bis part, for he had done all in his power to succeed in the com mission of the offence, and therefore his conduct was as bad as if he had obtained the money. The character the prisoner bore was but an aggravation, for it was in consequence of that character that the trust he had en joyed had been placed in him, and it would be most likely that no suspicion would be entertained that he in tended any wrong. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. John Illosety, a respectable-looking man, a master carpenter, surrendered to take his trial for attempting to commit a capital offence on Mary Ann Bailey, a girl 14 years of age. Mr. Thomson prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended. The prosecutrix, who appeared to be a very forward girl, had been in the service of prisoner, who lived at Charlton, Kent. The alleged offence took place on the 23d of May, during the absence of prisoner's wife. Although she had plenty of opportunities, prosecutrix never spoke of it to any one for a fortnight. Tho jury found the prisoner Guilty of a❑ assault. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The other cases disposed of in these courts during the day were of a very trivial character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Mary Johnson, an elegantly attired young woman, of considerable personal attractions, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having obtained the sum of 311. by means of forged promissory notes, from Mr. Frank Senior, a chemist and druggist, carrying on business in the Queen's-road Delstnn. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been a frequent customer at his shop for some time past, and resided with a family of great respectability at Pember ton-cottages, in his immediate neighbourhood. Oa the 28th ult, the prisoner called upon him, and, producing a promissory note for 6/., purporting to be drawn in her favour by Messrs. Blackwood, the publishers, and made payable at the banking-house of Messrs. Child and Co., requested him to accommodate her with cash for the amount. The prisoner at the same time intimated that she had received it direct from Messrs. Blackwood, as a remuneration for some literary productions which she had furnished for their magazine. Witness thereupon cashed it for her, and about two days after she again called with a similar promissory note for 20/, which he was likewise induced to discount upon the faith of the same representations. On the 3d instant the prisoner brought him a third promissory note for 401., which she also wished him to cash, but, suspecting from the fru quency of her visits, that there might be something doubtful about the security of the transaction, he objected to cash the note, but consented to advance her 51. upon it, which the prisoner accepted, and immediately after she had left he dispatched a messenger to make inquiries at the banking-house, where it was ascertained that Messrs. Blackwood kept no account at that establishment. On communicating the result to the prisoner, she expressed herself in strong terms of nation against Messrs. Black wood for their remissness in not lodging the amount of the notes where they were made peyable, aid begged him to wait a few days until the second one came due, when she would call and dis charge them both. He consented to do so, but in the interval made fresh inquiries, which satisfied him that they were forgeries, and he therefore sent for the prisoner, and upon communicating to her what he had ascer tained, she again assured him they were genuine, and invited him to proceed with her at once to the residence of Sir George Armitage, in Cambridge-scplare, Hyde park, whom she designated as her cousin, and that the matter would be speedily and satisfactorily arranged. He accordingly accompanied her there in a cab, from which the prisoner alighted at the house, and, after re maiving a considerable time inside, again joined him, and, without entering into the particulars of her visit, directed the cabman to drive to the residence of Lord Villiers, in Charles -street, Berkeley -square. Having been informed by the porter, on their arrival there, that his Lordship was not at home, the prisoner desired to be conveyed to the house of Mr. Mackenzie, a solicitor in River-terrace, Islington, with whom she also had an in terview, leaving witness in the cab, and on coming out told him that she bad been advised by her solicitor to proceed at one* to Leamington to procure the money, and requested further indulgence; but witness refused to part with her, and ultimately gave her into custody. Mr. Joseph Hunt Langford, the manager of the London branch of Messrs. Blackwood's establishment, deposed that the prisoner was an entire stranger to him, :Jed that the signatures to the promissory notes pro duced wore not written by either of the Messrs. Black wood, or any other person connected with their firm. Police -constable M`Walter, of the N division, stated that the prisoner was given into his custody at the time in question, and that upon searching her at the station house he found in her possession a variety of letters and other documen lsts, amongst w hi ch was another promis wood. sory not U _,e also bearing the si gnature of Messrs. Black- o aring telling her that she was charged with uttering forged instruments, the prisoner did not attempt to explain her conduct, but merely asked him if he thought Mr. Senior would press the charge if she paid him the money. Tho prisoner, who listened to the evidence with an air of coolness and perfect s elf - possession, declined put ting any questions to the witnesses, and made no obser vations in anawer to the charge. Mr. 11.e.etmete. intimated his intention to send the case before a jury, and ordered the prisoner to be re manded until that day week for the formal completion o' the depositions. LAMBETH. Henry Fraser Dimsdale, the son of Baron Dimsdale, was brought up on a warrant charging him with as saulting Mr. Jarman and others, by pelting them with eggs and other missiles on their return from Epsom, on the Oaks day. Saunders, the officer, stated that he held a warrant for some days for the apprehension of Messrs. Henry and Thomas Dimsdale and Captain Williams, but up to that morning, he had not succeeded in finding either of the parties. Information had reached him on that morning that Mr, Henry Dimsdale was about to appear at the Court of Qaeen's Bench, Westminster, as a witness in a case set down fur trial. He attended there, and alter some delay, surer eded in finding Mr. Dimsdale in a coffee-room of a tavern in the vicinity of Palace-yard. On seeing him, he asked the gentleman if his name was not Mr. Henry Dimsdale, and he at once replied that it Was; and ho then told him that he held a warrant for his apprehension on a charge of assaulting Mr. Jarman and others by throwing eggs at them on the Oaks day. Mr. Dirasslale did not 'cake any reply, and he took him in a cab to the court. A solicitor who attended for Mr. Dimsdale, but whose name did not transpire, questioned Saunders on the sub ject, and seemed most anxious to know wbo it was who had given him the private information which led to the apprehention of his client, but the officer did not satisfy him, remarking that he was not .bound to declare the names of parties giving him information in matters re lating to his duty. The gentleman begged hoe ssure the magistrate that his client, Mr. Dimsdale, a not kept out of the way from any wish to evade the law in this case, but had let' England on business of a private nature befor e any com plaint bad been made, and only learned the fact of the complaint throu g h t h e columns of the news M h o r . had trot i) papers. ona tpo hps : e n rahreua r h enede, Saunders, mel he pes ti o i rt ht hod h toTI htt q soi n e efe s . a st i trhoo, Dimsdale S s a d f aaopqport,eini acquaint apprehension iCaptain xia o W r .a i Williams, u m t rh s yo , een able to Dimsdale.
