IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, 4 . aris 12 • LANDLORD AND TENANTS BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Sir J. Y. BULLER was quite ready to join wurn his t , :naafs in improving his estates, but he entP7ta;med strong; objections to the plan p ro p osed b y this Bill. It gave - him no check over the extravagances of his tenant, nor did it fix the limit to which au expenditure under this Bill could be carried. After a few words from Mr. TRELAWNY, the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it mejority ••• ••• The amendment was eons; , quently carried. Classes 4,5, 6, 7 and 8 were tLen agreed to without dizeussion. On clause 9, Mr. GREENE moved an amendment to the clause, laying certain restrictions on glebe lands. Mr. NEWDEGATE also proposed to introduce cer tain amendments with regard to charges on glebe lands. • Mr. PUSEY thought they were mixing up two or three • different subjects together, and he would rather settle the point which had been raised by the lion. Member for Lancast+ r first. After a few words from Mr. PACKE, Colonel SIBTHORP, in consequence of the promo ters of the Bill having asserted that this clause was grounded on tl , e practice of Lincolnshire, row to clic:- claim oa the. part of Lincolnshire any sympathy with the Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM suggested that the amend ment should be postponed for the present, until the Hon. Member for Warwickshire had had time to frame his proviso. Mr. GREENE was perfectly ready to do so if it was thought more desirable. The amendment was consequintly withdrawn. After a few words from Mr. LABOUCIIERE, Mr. WALPOLE - moved the omission of certain words in the clause, which ho contended did not sufii• ciently restrict the powers of mortgagees. After a short discussion, in which Sir James Graham, Mr. Pusey, and the Solicitor-Generaltock part, strangers were ordered to withdraw, The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... ... 46 Against it 117 rtl:::jority ... • ... —7l The amendment was consequently lost. The clause was then awe= to. The remaining clauses of the Bill ware then agreed to without discussion. The House then resume?, and the Chairman having reported progress, the report was ordered to be brouLht; up on Monday next. COtiltr. OF CLIAICrEP6Y. BILL. ... 84 ... -19 Mr. TUENEP. moved the second reading of this Bill. He said it was with great diffidence and reluctance that he had undertaken the task of at tempting some improvement in the practise of the Court of Chancery. The House would be aware that no less than 50,000,0001. of funded property was at the present time in the hands of the Court of Chancery. He must say that iu the execution of this task he had been encouraged by the remembrance of many great men who had gone before him—coadjutors in this great work. He had seen so much poverty, so much distress, so much extravagance and waste caused by tho present mode of proceeding in the Court o Chancery, thatle considered some reform is this branch cf the law imperative. He was bound to say that the Learned Judges of these Courts had, as far as they were able,•introduced beneficial reforms into their Courts. The Dill which he had introduced dealt with the subject on an entire new principle ; it would, to a great extent. simplify and assimilate the proceedings in all kinds cf cases, end do away with the delay ani expense which et present brought such opprobrium upon the Court of Chan deryt There ems another great difficulty to provide for in the Bill. An executor, toter paying all the debts of the testator, and handing over the remainder of the property to the legatees end oVler parties interested in the will, might atter the lapse of forty years be called upon to pay some claim duo by the testator of which no notice was given at the time the will was carried out. It sometimes happened that the testators were put to enormous ex penses in consequence of proceedings being institu:ed against them in respect of such claims. Many of the provisions of the Bill had been inserted at the suggestions of persons holding eminent positions in the Court of Chancery, and who were well acquainted with its practice. That, as well as many other difficulties, the Bill endea voured to obviate. The Hon. Member delivered a warm eulogium on the Lord Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce for the assiduity and learning which they had tlisplsyed in their different capacities, and was un derstood to say that many parts of the Bill were either suggested or approved of ley those eminent legal autho rities. The Hon. Member, who was very indistinctly heard throughout, concluded by moving the second read ing of the Bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he did not intend to offer the slightest opposition to the measure.—(Hear.) He not only entirely concurred in the object which the Honourable Member sought to attain, but he had himself brought in a Bill to remedy certain defects in the law, which had already received the sanction of the House, and was now in its progress through the House of Lords. In that Bill he enabled parties, by means of a special ca--e, to take the opinion of the Court as to the construction to be put on certain words in any will, deed, or other instrument, and thus to evoifi much prolonged an-1 expensive litigation. Ile approved of that part of the Ball which related to the accounts of coeditors. Eaccutors could not obtain an exemption from liahiiisies till their accounts had ,seen passed, but at present the mode of oinaining the pasting was dilatory and expensive, and this Bill proposed to substitute a more simple mode of precedings. Now, in his own Bill he had attempted to do the same thing, and ultimately he hoped it woalci turn out that the attempt had not been made in vain. With regard to the part of the Bill which rela!ed to scandal, contempt, libels, and such like offences, if he spoke according to his own private opinion, he was strongly inclined to support the plan of transferring some of the functions exercised by the Masters to the Court itself. There could be no doubt that the Masters were terribly overburdened with business, greatly to the inconvenience of the public, end any plan which could reduce the arrear must cf necessity prove of great advantage to the country. Thanking, there fore, his Hon. and Learned Friend for the attention and ability ho had brought to Lear upon this import Ant sub ject, it only remained for him to entreat the House to' read this Bill a second time, and let them go into Com mittee, and see if some of its provisions could not be made law.—(Hear.) Mr. P. WOOD said the delays of the Masters' office could not be made too familiar to the public, and to show the immensity of the evil of the Court of Chancery, he need, only explain the technical machinery of that office. At present there were 1,944 causes under consideration of the Masters' office, or an average of 200 causes for each Master. Now, before any stage could be taken in each case, what was called a warrant had to be obtained, which entitled the party applying for' it to the right to be heard by counsel before the space- of an hour. It very often happened, however, teat it required three or four of these warrants to issue before the Master could be made familiar with the cir cumstances of the case, while the same proceed ing- had to be gee through by the other side, in order that they might be heard in answer to ' the case brought against them. It was clear therefore that the real cause of delay in the move ments of the Court of Chancery was to be found in the Masters' office, and he was rejoiced to find that his Hon. and Learned Friend had taken the matter up. His Bill was practicable in an eminent degree, and he should have much pleasure in giving it his hearty support. After a few words from Mr. C. ANSTEY, who sup ported the measure, The Bill was road a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. BURGESS LISTS BILL. The Mr. HODGES moved the second reading of this Bill. existing law , h abused.

Indeed and as he that contingency contingency had absolutelhe borough of R oc h ester lieved that was by no means an 3P ist t s t l r a i te se d n i nstar prevent a e, he had l i lin introduced this Bill to amend the la w , recurr ence of such en ano ma l ous state of a things SIBT H ORP opposed this Bill on the gs gr . o a un n d i am ong others, that it was intended t o remedya-stte things which existed in the borough of Rochester alone. He reminded the House that there had been no petitioas presented in favour of this Bill, and that there were several petitions presented against it, including some which he himself had presented from the city he had the honour to represent. He understood there never had been a complaint made against the proceedin gs on-the revision of the burgess lists by the great number of , cities and boroughs which sent Members o n the that House, with respect to any conduct improper tb part of the mayor and assessors. O people w e r e p er f ec tly satisfied with thne econtrary, the conduct of those officers in this matter. In England and Wales there were no less than 269 cities and boroughs that sent 360 Members to that House, and the population in those cities and boroughs amounted to seven millions and several hundred thousands; and yet, until now there had never been a complaint against the present system of revising theburgess lists which had been in operation for seventeen years. He objected to the Bill because it would entail an extremely heavy expense on the diffe rent boroughs which had rates enough to pay already.— (Hear.) He moved that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY seconded the motion, though he did so for differ en t reasons frivoilliothic:sde of the onour able and Gallant M em b er The instances of parti a lity shown in the just spoken burgess lists he considered were very rare il vi ew ai a o s n oac quainted with several towns of considerable importance, where party spirit ran very high, and yet he never heard o f a c h arge o f part i a li ty being trade a e a i nst any of the revising courts, which b sided over by the mayor.—(Hear, hewer"; pro of' the One principal objections which he entertained to the present Bill was, that it would impose a largo additional expense upon th e country. T he H on. and Gallant AcjaAlse had stated that the cost of revising the lists of i • • 110!attaielatary elector s amounte d to 30,000/. a-yearlnd`, irate same sy s t em of revision was extended to , .

The Bill, in his opinion, was not Wanted, a ,4 4# is, would entirely do away with a system which • w esent working very satisfactorily, and would levy ,a a l e and unnecessary cost on the public, he would second the amendment of his Lion. and Gallant see N. 11 , BgIiNAL reminded the nieTer of the lemma. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1850. ment that the Bill was only proposed to extend to Eng land and Wales, and not to Scotland or Ireland. The tnea,ure was grounded on a very wholesome and sound prirciplo, that of not allowing a man to hear a n d d e t erm i ne an y case as judge in the eventual results of which lht , ? might be tither directly or in3ir~:c~'.yinterensted. Tile expense entailed by the Act would not be greater than that arising from the present system of revision by the mayor. Although, however, he approved of the Bill, he thought it might be greatly improved by making the adoption of its. pro visions by corporate towns entirely permissive. —(Hear.) The case involved in the Bill was in a nutshell. Mayors of buroughs,hadan;interest in maintaining the strength of the political party to - which they belonged, but a revising barrister would be subject to no such influence or impk tmion, and he really could not understand how the change proposed by this Bill could bo obkctei to. Lord GALWAY objected to the meastre because it interfered with the principle of local self government. Mr. SHAFTO ADAIR, also opposed the Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY observed that the law as it now stood provided a remedy fur cases of partiality on the part of the mayor. No complaint had been trade against the existing system by any other borough but Rochester, and he saw no necessity whatever for the change proposed by this Bill. After a few words from Mr. SMITH and Mr. GEORGE HUDSON, who both opposed the Bill, the amendment was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a second time that day six months. _ _ [The following appearz,(l in our Third Edition of w.t night :—] FRANCE. The Dix Decembre containi a letter from Berlin, stated to com,.e from a person in the immedilte suite of his Majesty, that says, "the King is not inclined to severity ; he perceives in Szfeloge as unfortunate wretch, who ought to be separated from all parties." The writer adds, he does not believe that the criminal was ever a frequenter of the ship, would it not ba more congenial to the precepts of Christians f.)r the petitioners to appeal exclusively to the great Lawgiver cf the Usuvrrse to aid them in cook ing men better—in correcting their practices by purify ing their hearts? Government will protect them in their effoiti to all these good acts. When they shall have so instructed the public mind, and awakened the consciences of individuals as to make them believe that it is a violation of God'a law to carry the mail, open past-offices, or receive letters, on Sunday, the evil of which they complain will cease of itself, without any exertion of the strung arra of the civil power.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 12. GOBILATI V. BISLIOP OF EXETER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Sir FITZROY KELLY ..'l"siCi he attended bonore their Lordships:, in consequence of what had transpired in the morning, for the purpose of stating that he was ear nestly de , irous on personal reasons, with which his Learned Friends were all well acquainted, that this case should be heard at the sittings after the present term, and that it should not be postponed uatil next Michaelmas term. Ea did not entertain any doubt that the proceedings of the court were perfectly regular, bat if there should be any question as to the meaning, of Act of Parliament under which sittings were held. after term, he was quite rcaly to enter at once into any undertaking which would bind the right reverend person .for whom he appeared not to take any steps fur prolonging the decision of the case. If the Court thought such an undert:king Recce sa,y, it might be made to form p.trt of the rule. The CHIEF BARON—I think there is no occasion anything of the kind. There is no distinction between this and arty other case before the Court en a motion. It has been the invnioble habit of the Court ever since the statute pasted, and btf2ru I had the honour of scat en the bench, to take all pending business at the sitting,s a‘ter t?rm; therefore there can be no necessity to enlarge the rule, or to make any arrangement in the way you sug,gegt. Sir FrrznoY KELLY express,!cl himself satisfied with the decision the Court. A discussion then followed as to the omission of cer tain affidavits from the rule, which ended in the Court directing that they should be inserted. Mr. Commissionor Law observed that the insolvee, on his former hearing, denied the promise to marry, which he now admitted by the statement he had made to Sarah James. The case would stand adjourned to settle; and if the young woman withdrcw her oppo sition he might be discharged, otherwise he would re ceive a judgment. The case was adjourned to the 24th July. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Balls appeared in discharge of his bail before Sir Chapman Marshall to answer a charge . of careless driving, and thereby causing the death of Robert William Harris, a child about three years of age. Police-constable 348 stated, that about half-past eight o'clock on Tuesday evening ha was on duty on Ludgate-hill, when he heard the scream of a child, and on looking round saw the conductor of one of the Hackney omnibuses pulling a couple of children from under the feet of tho horses. The defendant was driving the omnibus, which belonged to Mr. Barber of Hackney, up the hill, when the two chil dren ran directly under the horses' feet and were knocked down. Oa being picked up they were con veyed on a stretcher to Mr. Ilutchinson's, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, but before they arrived there deceased was found to be dead. Joseph Ebill, a gentleman residing in the Hack ney-road, deposed that on the evening in question he was riding on the outside of defendant's omnibus, which was going up Ludgate-hill at a slow pace, about five miles an hour, when a littleboy, about eleven or twelve years of age, carrying deceased, attempted to cross the road immediately under the heads of the horses. They were both knocked down and trampled on by the • horses, but he believed they were not touched by the wheels of the vehicle. Huntley Harris said, he resided in Fleur-de-lis court, and was first-cousin to the deceased, whom he was carrying in his arms -cross Ludgate-bill when knocked down by the omnibus horses. The omnibus was standing still a few minutes previous at the bot tom of the 'oil, and when he endeavoured to cross the omnibus came on him unawares, knocked him d )wn, and his cousin (deceased) out of his arms ; he felt the foot of one oi the horses placed on his back, and the fore wheel 'passed over his cousin's neck. He (witness) got up as soon as he could and took de• ceased in his arms, when a gentleman cam , 4 and took him away to the doctor's. He recollected nothing more as he was very much frightened at the time. Did not see deceased after he was taken from him. Several of dtceaied'i relatives appeared to give evidence, but nothing was elicited to support the charge of careless driving on the part of the de fendant. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said, he believed that the defendant was perfectly blameless, from the evidence which had been adduced, the more particularly so from his own personal knowledge of the great care and attention displayed by the drivers of the Hack ney omnibuses in general. - He would therefore dis charge the defendant, but recommended him to be punctual in his attendance at the inquest, in order that the end and aim of justice might be perfectly satisfied. WORSHIP-STREET. William Wick'ey, a .povVerttd;nan, described as a greengrocer in .Turville-street ' Bethnal-green, was placed at the bar before M r . Arnold, charged with causing the death of his eisteisin-law, a young married woman named Margaret Wilmot. James Turpin,. a hawker, said—l was standing with a friend in front of the bar of the Victory public-house, in Little Nelson-street, Bethnal-green, at eight o'clock last evening, when the prisoner came in in the company of a woman, and both of them appeared to be intoxicated. The deceased, Margaret Wilmot, followed them in, and, addressing the other woman, asked her if she knew that the prisoner was I a married man. She had scarcely uttered the words when the prisoner, with a threatening obser vation, raised his arm, and was in the act of striking her, when I ran out to seek her husband, v. horn I met in an adjoining street, and having been informed on my way back that the woman had been carried home senseless, we proceeded there together, and on reaching the house found her lying there dead. A policeman was standing outside, to whores I commu nicated what I had witnessed, and I accompanied him to a house in a street leading out of Club-row, where I pointed out the prisoner, who was taken into custody. Susan Shepherd, a married woman, residing two doors from the public-house in question, stated—l was very intimate with the deceased, whose sister was the wife of the prisoner, and while conversing with her at my own door, between seven and eight last even ing the prisoner passed us with a woman, who was so much intoxicated that she fell down in the road. She was raised up by the prisoner, who took her into the public-house, followed by the deceased, who had seen the two together, and directly afterwards I heard the noise of a violent contest inside the house, and on hastening there found the deceased, suppoLted in the arms of two men, without either bonnet or shawl, convulsively struggling, and being carried into the street. I picked up the deceased's cap and shawl, which were lying on the floor in front of the bar, and went out to follow her, but, not seeing the deceased, I returned home and found her sitting on - a step at the back sloth., retching violently, and apparently very ill. I raised her head to support her, and asked if I should get her a cup of tea, to which she seemed silently to, assent, and I sent my little girl to prepare it, while I continued holding her, but almoet imme diately afterwards her head suddenly dropped, and she exclaimed, in a faint voice, " (Yea dear, Mrs. Shep beard, what shall I do !—my eyesight is gone ?" She then became senseless, and never spoke afterwards, and I, having procured assistance, caused her to be carried into her own house, where she was placed in bed, and a surgeon in the neighbourhood was in stantly sent for, but upon examining her he at once pronounced her to be dead. This morning I assisted in undressing her, but did not, while doing so, o b serve any marks of violence upon her person. Police-constable Kimberley, of • the H division, stated, that upon taking the prisoner into custody and apprising him that he' was charged with maltreating his sister-in-law, who bad .since died of the injuries she had sustained, he made no reply, and was there upon conveyed to the station. - The prisoner, who appeared very much depressed, offered no observations in answer to the charge, and Mr. ARNOLD ordered him to be remanded for the completion of the evidence, but consented, in the meantime, to accept substantial bail for his future ap pearance, which he fixed at the prisoner himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each, with twenty four hours' notice to inquire into their sufficiency. PRUSSIA. The latest accounts from Berlin announced the ar rival in that city of Horace Vernet, the celebrated French painter, on his way to St. Petersburgh. By order of the Minister of Justice all the employes of that der rtment are forbidden to wear the German cockade. DENMARK. A summary of the proposals made by the Schleswig deputies is given in the _Lieler Correspondenzblutt of the 7111 inst., and runs as follows : "1. Schleswig and Holstein are to have a common Stadtheldr, but each of the two provinces will have separate provincial boards. 2. The King of Denmark, acting in concert with the present Stadtholders, appoints the nest Stadtholder and the chiefs of the provincial boards. •• 3. The King and the Stall! holder will publish an electionary law, and two Diets, for Schleswig and fir Holstein, will be elected according to the previsions of this law. The Diet will have legislative power. " 4. The Schleswig-Holstein army is to be reduced to' the number of its federal contingent. It is to be main tained by the joint contributionF, cf the two Duchies. " 5. The whole of Schleswig is to be occupied by Prus sian troops until the affairs of that duchy shall have come to a definitive settlement. " 6. This provisional state of things will continue until a definitive arrangement shall have been come to respect inz s li the questions now pending between Denmark and the Duchies." THE HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Return of the Registrar-General.) In the week encliog last Saturday the deaths re gistered in the metropolitan districts were 844; in the previous week they were only 736. In the three corresponding weeks of 1847-9 the deaths ranged from 786 to 971 ; and taking the corresponding weeks of ten years, the average is 861, or, raised in the ratio of population, 939. The pre sent return, therefere, shows a decrease on the average, equal 'to 95. With the increasing warmth of the weather the mortality from diseesss of the respiratory organs steadily declines. Ex cluding consumption, the deaths in this class in the last four weeks have been successively 145, 138, 105, and 94; and during this period the mean temperature has risen gradually from 47 deg. to 59 deg. In the same weeks the deaths from consumption have been 124, 125, 103, and 141, showing a sudden increase iu the lest, and an approach to the corrected average, which is 157. In the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases 172 fatal cases are enumerated, hav ing been in the previous week only 130, and the ave rage being 201. Smallpox cerrieil off nine persons, searlatina 19, and hooping-cough 25, the three epi demics still showing a decrease on the average. Measler, however, which destroyed 26 children—an amount differing little from the average—has sud denly increased en the previous week, when there were only 12 deaths. Typhus also exhibits an increase, fir while there were only 26 deaths in the former week, there were 39 in the last, which, however, is not more than usual at this period. Diarrhoea and dysentery appear to become rather more prevalent ; in the last three weeks they have numbered 13, 19, and 22. On the 3.1 of June, the wife of an engineer, aged 61 years, died at 21, Chathain-piece, Lock's-fields, St. Mary, Newington, of "vomiting and purging (12 days), exhaustion." On the sth of June, at Si, Turn mill-street, Clerken well, the daughter of a labourer. aged 13 months, died of " cholera biliosa (12 hours) ;" and on the 31st of May, at 38, Aske-street, lloxton- Old-Town, the daughter of an engraver, aged 1 year, died of "English cholera (2 days)." A man, of 36 years, who is described as having been habitually in temperate, died of "delirium tremens, apoplexy ;" another fatal case of intemperance is also recorded. Three children were suffocated in bed. It appears from the classification of deaths in public institutions that 93 occurred in workhouses, 59 in hospitals (of which eight were in military and naval establish ments), and seven in lunatic asylums. SMALL TENEMENTS RATING BILL. Mr. P. SCROPE moved that this Bill be read a third time this day six months, on the ground that its object was to rate the houses of the poorer classes who were now excepted from paying rates, which was a most unjust principle, and would ba most in jurious in operation. One million of the poor occupiers of cottages in this country were already exempted from the payment of rates on the benevolent assumption that such was their poverty that they were wholly unable to pay them; but on that great number of poor persons this Bill would inflict a serious grievance. The object of the Bill was to get from one party or another the rates, either from the landlord or the occupier; end hence its being alai:- ported by the Government. The result would be that ha:f U. million ef money, now paid by the higher and middle classes in the shape of heal tax.ition3 would be transferred to the poorer class of people, r-, hose inability to pay rates the Legislature had already charitably assumed. if this Bib were to pass, the landed proprietors, having to pay the rates on their small tenements, would be de prived of almost all inducement to build small cottages on their estates for their peasantry; so aico would the great class of builders ho diseoura!,;ed from building small houses; aoel the conseqtynee would be that the increasing; poor population of this country would be driven to live in Ir,ezlitier. already too densely populated. Mr. HUME said the House ought to proceed very cautiously with this Bill, because it was introducing a dangerous precedent, iLasrauela as it chanted the princi ple of taxation from the occupier to the owner. Ile would vote against the Bill. Mr. BROTiIERTON supported the Bill on the ground that it was meant to meet the Faction of collect ing the rent of small houses weekly by the landlord, which was formerly collected quarterly, by which prac tice the landlord defeated the tax gatherer. Mr. ROBERT PALMER opposed the Bill. Mr. BAINES supported the third reading of the Bill. All that this Bill did was to flier the principle which had been recognised in local Acts of Parliament applied tor by the inhabitants of those localities; and one object of this Bill was to giro powers under a general Bill which had already Lean given in many local Acts, and so prevent the necessity and expenses of parties constantly coming belbre Parliament to ripply far local Acts. He did not think that this 13ill would be injurious to the poor; if he thought so he would be the lar.t man V) rupport it.— (Hear, hear.) hir. S. CItA.WFURD supported the amendment of the Hon. Member for Stroud (Hr. P. Scrope), from his knowledge of the operation of a similar principle in Ire land. Sir G. PECIIELL would give a conditional suppor . to the Sir H. WILLOUGHBY opposed the B 11. Tile House than divided, when there appeared— For the third reading... 94 Against it ... ... 15 Majority in frl.vcur of the third reading —79 Mr. COJKBURN moved the insertion of this clause— " And bo it enacted, that where the owner of any tenement shall be rated to the relief of the poor by virtue of this Ace, instead of the occupier thereof, and such owner shall have paid all money due on account of such rates in respect of such tenement, such occupier shall be entitled to all privi leges and franchises to which Le would have been en — titled. if he himself had been rated, and had paid such rates ; and if such owner so rated as aforesaid shall not have paid such rate or rates, it shall be lawful for such occupier to ten der to the overseers of the pour or other person authorised by law to receive the same, the amount of any rate or rates then due from such owner in respect of such tenement; and such overseer or other person so authorised as aforesaid shall be bound to re ceive th© same ; and such occupier shall, on the payment or tender of such amount, be en titled to exercise all such privileges and frau chites as liereinbzfor‘ mentioned : provided always, that any occupier so paying any rates in respect of any tenement where the owner is rated to the same, dicli be entitled to deitict and retain the amount so paid by him from the next payment of rent to he made Iby him to such owner, or to recover the state nom such owctr us money rid to and for the use i•isuch owner." Sir J. GRAIIAM sug,gestcd, as it * was only three min a es to s2x. 4/closlc, that tnc consideration of the clause stionici he postponed. Sir GEORGE GREY thought it would be better to postpure3 the clause. The clau9e having been witArawn, The further considerarion o the Bill was then post poned until this day three works. The House then aJjournel at Six o'clock. STATE oF TRADE. (Prom the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The transactions of the day in yarns have been on a limited scale. The home consumers of medium numbers have hesitated to pay the required advance, which is now considerable; the Ger man and Mediterranean merchants have also proceeded very charily, executing, it would seem, only such orders as were required by the customers in the way of assort ment; while the Indian houses have shown little incli nation to operate. The dulness of yesterday's cotton market, giving, as it did, an advantage of about per lb. to the buyer, has contributed to this inanimate state of things with us. But the spinners have maintained their ground with unflinching firmness, and the full rates of last week have been obtained to the extent of the business effected; indeed, the spinners of the better qua lities of No. 60's and upwards, suitable for the Yta.k shire and Russian trades, have realised a fair advance. Throughout the whole of the year, the latter market has taken from us a greatly diminished supply, as will be seen from the table of exports given below• ' the apparent co mmencement of an improved demand has, however, arisen to-day. The buoyancy of this depart ment of our market springs, on the one hand, from that growing home demand which the great extension of weaving power has occasioned, together with the in creasing requirements (not more than moderately sup plied) of norehern and central Germany ; and, on the other hand, from such an • indifference about sel ling as is naturally manifested by a body of pro ducers, who, while possessing considerable orders for various articles, and holding out little stock of any kind, still find themselves placed, as regards the great bulk of yarns, in a most unsatisfactory position, by the dispro portionate value of the raw material. The sales of goods have been of small extent; and there is not the same elas ticity of prices in this department as in that of yarns, although the quotations are unaltered. The contracts for 40-inch shillings and other English fabrics are con stantly coming to a close; and the merchants show no dis position at present to renew them. Light twilled print ing cloths are still wanted and scarce; and the lower qualities of plain 7-Bths continue in request, but the ex treme rates of a week ago are less easily obtained than they were then. Some purchases of T cloths have been made; and the manufacturers of domestics look for a continuance of that advance, which, hitherto, has hardly at all diminished the loss attending this branch of trade, the effect of which is beginning to show itself in the failure of three or four small firms within the last week. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—Considering the time of the year, we have had a tolerably fair business doing to-day in flannels, with little or no change in prices. The wool market has been more unsettled, owing to the extensive colonial wool sales i n L on d on , w hi c h commenc e on Thursday next. The more timid, or perhaps the more speculative, of the manufacturers, hove pur chased more freely, which has induced the seller to hold out for better prices; while the more wary and cautious have acted upon the reserve, thinking that an exten skievte sale, i s 0 ins the face of a new clip coming into the mar a time hence, may give a backward tendency prices.tollor MACCLE P ...FIELD, 7 ... trEaJAY Th • manufactured goods, . e improved market for subsided ; but there isnoticed in our last, has somewhat silks.

Most of the manufacturers are -whilst• working for stock, some are 'working up back orders. It is generally expected wo shall begin to be brisk again for the winter st aeon very shortly. HALIFAX, SATURDAY. —There was rather more done to-day, in the Piece Hall, in some descriptions of fancy goods; but the advanced price of cotton has checked the demand for those sorts of mixed goods in which that material is used. For lastinge, of fine quality, there is very little inquiry; but, for low qualities, the demand continues. So few, however, are now made that they are difficult to obtain. The spinners are very busy ; and the quota:ious for yarn have undergone a slight improvement. The quantity of wool that is c hanging hands just now is nut large, us purchasers are waiting for the new clip ; but it is expected to come int . !o the m ar k et w i t h t h e l ate ra t es fully maintained.

We find a report on this subject in the journals of Congress, and we annex extracts from it for the in formation of the 90 Members who supported Lord Ashley in his motion. We simply ask them to read the report, and decide by their own judgment, and not by the pressure of any petitions. Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, from the committee on the post-office and post-roads, to whom had been re ferred memorials from inhabitants of various parts of the United States, praying for a repeal of so much of the post-office law as authorises the mail to be tran sported anti opened on Sunday, and to whom had also been referred memorials from other inhabitants of various parts of the United States, remonstrating agaiest such repeal, made Lila following report :- 1)) not all men in this country enjoy every reli gious right which mart . ) rs and saints ever asked? Whence then the voice of complaint? Who is it that, in the fail enjoyment of every principle which human laws can secure, wishes to arrest a portion of these prin ciples from his neighbour? Do they complain that men, less conscientious in relation to the Sabbath, obtain advantages over them by receiving their letters and attending Ito their contents ? It' so their monve is worldly and selfish. But if their motive be to induce Congress to sanction by law their religious opinions and observances, then their efforts ought to be resisted, as in their tendency fatal both to religious and political freedom. Why have the petitioners confined their prayer to the mails ? Why have they not requested that the Government be re quired to suspend all its executive functions on that day? Why do they not require us to enact that our ships shall not sail; that our armies shall not march; that officers of justice shall not seize Vie suspected, or guard the convicted? They seem to forget that Government is as necessary on Sundays as on any other day of the week. The spirit of evil does not rest on that day. It is the Government, ever active in its func tions, which enables us all—even the petitioners —to worship in our churches in peace. Our Government fur nishes very few blessings like our mails. They bear from the centre of our republic to its distant extremes the acts of our legislative bodies, the decisions of the judiciary, and the orders of the executive. Theis speed is often essential to the defences of the coun try, the suppression of crime, and the dearosts interests of the people. Were they suppressed one day of the week, their absence must be often supplied by public expresses; and, besides, while the mail bags might rest, the mail coaches and rail trains would pursue their journey with the passengers. The mail bears from one extreme of the country to the other letters of relatives and friends, preserving a communion of heart be tween those far separated, and increasing the most pure and refined pleasures of our exist ence ; also the letters of commercial men convey the state of the markets, prevent ruinous specula tions, and promote general as well as individual interest; they bear innumerable religious letters, newspapers, magazines, and tracts, which ream almost every house throughout this kingdom. Is the conveyance of these a violation of the Sabbath ? The advauce of the human race in intelligence, in virtue, and reli gion itself, depends in part upon the speed with which a knowledge of the past is disseminated. Without an interchange between one country and another, and between different sections of the same country, every improvement in moral or political science, and the arts of life, would be confined to the neighbourhood where it originated. The more rapid and the more frequent this inter change, the more rapid will be the march o f intel lect, and the progress of improvement. The mail is the chief means by which intellectual light irradiates to the extremes of the country. Stop it one day in seven, and you retard one-seventh the advancement of our country. So far from stopping the mail on Sunday, the committee would recommend the use of all reasonable means to give it a greater expedition and a greater extension. What would be the elevation of our country, if every new conception could be made to strike every mind in the Union at the same time? It is not the distance of a province or state from the seat of Government which en dangers its separation, but it is the difficulty and unfre quency of intercourse between them. "To stop the mails one day in seven would be to thrust the whole of the distant parts of this kingdom t a h n e c a n e t to of the Government.t ransmission of oree d i a t y expedient y to from put letters and newspapers on Sunday , because it vio lates the law of God, have not the petitioners begun wrong in their efforts? If the arm of Government be necessary to the heads of families possess infinitely more potter in compel men to respect and obey the laws of Go d, do not this respect? Let the petitioners turn to them , and see if they can oblige their children and servants to respect the observance of the Sabbath within the respective houses; for, if it be sinful for the mail to carry letters on Sunday, it must be equally sinful for individuals to write, carry, receive, or read them. It would seem to require that these acts should be made penal to complete the system. Travelling on business or recreation, ex cept to and from church, all printing, carrying, receiv ing and reading of newspapers — a ll conversat i ons and social intercourse, except upon religious subjects, must necessarily be punished, to suppress the evil. Would it not also follow, as an inevitable consequence, that every man, woman, and child, should be compellesl to attend church or meeting-house? And, as only ono sect, in the opinion of some, can be deemed orthodox, must it not be determined by law which that suet is; and compel all other sects and persona to hear those teachers and con tribute to their support? If minor punishments would not restrain these practices, would not the same system require that we should resort to imprisonment, banish ment, the r ac k, an d t h e faggot, to force men to v i o l a t e their own consciences, or compel them to listen to doc trines which th e y a bh or? It is the duty of this Govern ment to afford to all classes the protection and the ad vantages of our beedgettra institutions on Sunday, as well as en every day of the week. If the Almighty has set apart the first day of the week as a time which man is bound to keep holy, Intidevote exclusively to his wor- GAS-LIGaT AND COIVEI COMPANXES.

IN RE AN ATTORNEY AND ANOTHER. It will be remembered that some time since Mr. Watson, Q.C., obtained a rule nisi, calling on an at torney to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls:, for allowing an unqualified person to prac tise in his natne. ; and why such person should nut be committed to the Queen's prison. Mr. M..Cualurmas, .Q.C., and Mr. WILLS showed cause, and relied principally on the fact that the person alkged to have been unqualified was the managing clerk of the attorney, and that he did not receive any portion of the profits. The afiiclavit in support of the rule stated that the deponent was informed, and verily b;-dieved, that this unqualifid person was the articled cirri; of the attorney, bat was in fact serving with his own father, a solicitor, and was carrying on the busi ness of a bill discounter. The LORD CurEr BLnoN—Though it is dangerous to lay down a general rule, I think it may be said that whenever a &ponent swears that " he i 3 informed and vn - ily believes" frets in a case Ilk!? this, he should state the ram e of his infermilrit, and his precise state ments. ?d r. Wilms—The affidavit went:on to sly, " that from circumstances within his own knowledge he was informed and verily beiitived." Thi3 was c;early in sufficient : he should state the circumstances them selves from which he got his information. In other ways .ho the Hli.lavits wore insufficient. LORD CHIEF BARON—S'riking out ail that is given upon information and belief, what is there left ? Mr. WILLS —Nothing material. All that is left our affidavits answer. Mr. WATioN replied in support of the rule. •Ho contended that there was amply sufficient disclosed to warrant the Court in making this rule absolute. There was a bill handed to a Mr. Brown by his supposed managing clerk, which, however, was not indorsed by him, ;:o great, apparently, was the estimation this Brown held him in. Then there was a letter de manding payment in the supposed clerk's hand writing, but written in the attorney's name. Then there was a request by the defendant's attorney to the plaintiff's attorney, requiring plaintiff's address, but no answer was returned. go - other parson was ever seen in the office but the assumed clerk ; all the letters were in his writing ; and there was not one single al legation in the affidavits that the attorney himself ever saw a client or gained a shilling within those chambers he assumed to be his. He says he was much in county courts and in the insolvent Debtors Court; but it must be borne in mind that he has to account for a period since 1843, and that the county courts have only existed since 1846. He ought to have stated that this person was his managing clerk, saw his clients, made out bills of costs, received the money, and handed it over to him ; but this he has not done. The Learned Counsel animadverted on the opposite affidavits, and asked the Court to protect the public. Baron PLATT—We must also protect the pro fession. After a short deliberation the Learned Judges de cided on discharging the rule with costs. EX PARTE THE DUKJS OF BRUNSWICK IN RE CLEMENTS AND ANOTHER. Mr. Udall and Mr. Gray were heardin support of the application, and Mr. Knowles opposed it. It was a motion to issue a scire facies on the recog nizances entered into by the sureties of Ghislin, the printer cf the Satirist newspaper. The affidavit of the Duke's attorney stated that judgment had been re covered against Ghislin for libel, and damages had been recovered fur 1,5001. and costs taxed at 2601. The Duke N 4 as therefore 2601. out of pocket. Soon after the verdict Ghiilin left the country, and the Duke was therefore unable to recover either damages or costs out of pocket. His only course was to proceed against the ureties of Ghislin on their recognizances. By the GO Geo. bonds and recegnizuices were required to be entered into by all newspaper proprietors, in case find should be imposed upon them in cases of conviction ; but this statute applies only to indict ments and informations, and not to actions. The subsequent statute, 1 Wm; IV., requires recogni z inces to be entered into by the sureties (the amount of the recogninnce to he 4001.) if an action for da mages be recovered, and the some remain unpaid. All persons libelled in a newspaper have therefore a remedy for the amount cf their verdict, to the extent of 406/,, not only against the publishers but also against the sureties. The statute of Wm. IV. gives a summary remedy on these recognizauces where the action has been successfully brought against " editors, conductors, or proprietors." In support of the motion, it was contended that as no action had been brought against the editor, conductor, or proprietor, but only against the printer, the summary remedy could not be had re course to, and the scire facias only could effect the desired object. The COURT took time to consider their judgment. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) IN RE SHEWARD. The bankrupt was a pawnbroker at Norwich. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Lawrence supported ; Mr. Lucas opp ose d. The grief ground of opposition was that the bank rupt had put Mrs. Fulcher, an elderly lady, to great expense by representing that she had made him a gift of a sum of 1,8501., instead of lent him the money. His HoNous, in giving judgment, said that it ap peared from the evidence that Mrs. Fulcher could neither read nor write. A pass-book of her account between herself and the bankrupt had been impro perly headed by the bankrupt, and afterwards it was alleged to have been lost by his wife in the course of a walk of five miles through the snow to the old lady's residence. Mrs. Sheward was said to have fallen down twice on the way, and she supposed that she must have thus lost the book. It did not appear, however, that she had taken the slightest trouble to recover it. Now, it had been remarked that it was a singular circumstance that she should have lost the book when her pockets were so deep that they had contained not only the book but also an ox's tail—(A laugh)—and he (the Commissioner) thought it was. The bank rupt's own evidence was inconsistent with his repre sentation that the money was a gift. Looking at all the circumstances of the case, he could arrive at no other conclusion than that from the first the bankrupt had made up his mind that if Mrs. Fulcher did not leave him the money, her executors should not be in possession of evidence that would enable them to recover it. That was a serious offence, and so deeply imbued with fraud as to call for the longest suspen sion of the certificate that he ever adjudged. The certificate would be suspended three years, and pro tection withheld unless the bankrupt should have been in prison six months. IN RE CROFTS. The bankrupt was the landlord of the Marquis of Waterford Arms, Haymarket. Tne certificate was unopposed, and the Court granted one of the first Class. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT,June 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN RE JAMES FREDERICK MUNCKS. This insolvent again came before the Court. It will be recollected that the insolvent, a German jour neyman tailor, had seduced a young Welshwoman, named Sarah James, a servant, and had contrived to obtain from her 601. in money, on promise of mar riage. The case stood over for the insolvent to pro duce the young woman's watch, and for other pur poses. Mr. STURGEON again opposed for Sarah James, and produced a copy of her savings bank book to show that she had made advances trom her earnings as a servant to the insolvent. Her watch was produced by the insolvent, but not a gold seal which she had given him, which he now stated he had, with other articles, pledged, and dispoaed of the duplicate. Mr. Commissioner LAW directed the watch to be handed to the young woman, which was accordingly done ; and his Honour expressed himself of opinion that the insolvent had cruelly used her ; he bad got her money on the pretence that he was goirur to marry her. It was for him to see what; amends he could make, and wsth that view the case had better stand over for six weeks. The insolvent handed in a paper, which he wishfd to be read. It had been written by a fellow prisoner. The paper, which was read, exprsed hi 3 regret fi r the ijury h e Ekd (h S wh•y., he a:linitted he hall promised to n - nirry. She had been ill, and having become acquainted with his pre-- sent wife, and she bang pregnant by him, he had married her. SOC.I'HTVARK. An application was made to Mr. A'Beckett for a , warrant against a woman known by the name of Louisa Beauchamp, for obtaining various sums of money from William Bond, of New Church street, Bermondsey, under the pretence of procuring for him a fortune of 50,0001., which she alleged he was entitled to by the decease of a relative at Ipswich. The applicant described that the person against whom he made the application called at the house of his sister some time since in apparent distress, as serting that she had been wrecked on her passage home from India, and that although she was related to some families of distinction, and amongst them to the Duke of Buccleuch, she yet felt a strong repug nance to making her situation known to them. She then expressed a, wish to take apartments in the house, and promi s ed th a t u p on th e rece i p t o f a consi derable sum of money which she was entitled to, and in daily expectation of receiving, she would liquidate whatever debt she might contract there. Upon these representations she became an inmate of the dwelling, and applicant, believing that he was entitled to some property at Ipswich, mentioned the subject to the new lodger, who at once undertook the management of the business, saying that it would be necessary before they proceeded any further in the matter to obtain certain registers and other documents showing that he was entitled to the property in question, adding, that if he advanced her the necessary means to go to , Ipswich she would proceed thither forthwith, and she assured hires that from her connexion with the aristocracy she had a licence to examine all documentary papers having re ference to such matters, and that she had the en t r e e of the different publi c ofices for that purpose. Ap plicant, having reliance in the truth of the statement, accordingly advanced her 21. on that occasion, and she started for Ipswich, from which place and Norwich and Yarmouth he received a number of letters, which he handed to the magistrate. The letters were from Louisa Beauchamp, some of which were read, and all written by a per s on evidently well exp er i ence d i n epistolary correspondence on the subject to which they referred. The writer Mentioned that she was most successful in her inquiries, and had got a clue to property to which applicant was entitled, and re quested a remittance to enable her to prosecute the business to a successful issue. In another epistle from Norwich the writer described that in the course of her examination for the necessary documents to este -1 blish his right and title to property left him at Yer mouth, she had discovered that he was also entitled to a fortune of 50,0001., and she concluded by calling upon him fur more money to pay the expenses she in curred in obtaining the necessary information to put . him in possession of that large amount. The appli cant had at various times advenced money, to her to the amount of 20/., and, finding that all she had written on the subject of the property alluded to in her letters was false, bad since made some inquiries about her, and ascertained that she had (brained money by similar means from other parties,. and be added that his motive in corning forward on the pre sent occasion w;ls to put the public on their guard , against a pers.-)n tlf such a chlrlct , -.r. . . ! , . .00,.• „ . - Rilowed L,, upon by a parson who came to his sister's house in apparent distress, and who described that she. had been ahiPirrecked. • . The applicant said that she really was a woman of such insinuating address that she completely threw him off his guard, and that. he transmitted the money upon the faith of her representing that she could pro cure the necessary documents for him at Ipswich to prosecute his claim to property there to Which he was entitled. Mr. ATECEETT complied . with the application, and granted a warrant for the apprehension of the person complained against. LAMBF, TH. • Mr. William Edward Eicke, and Mr. Henry Septi nzus .Eicke, who stand charged, the former with the commiision of a forgery and 'extensive fraud on the • South-Western Railway Company, and the latter with being an accessory to the fraud after the fact, were again placed at the bar before Mr: Elliott, for further examination. Mr. L. Crombie, from the office of Messrs. Bur cham and Dalrymple, solicitors to the company, at tended for the prosecution, and Mr. Games appear on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Crombie, addressing the magistrate, said be wes not prepared with any further evidence at present, to strengthen the case against the prisoners Heory Septimus Eicke, but should apply for a further re mand as respected him, and should his Worship be disposed to grant his request, he had no objection to his being released upon a lower' amount than th at which he had been called upon on . a previous day to find. .11r. Enr,rox observed that .he had looked oarefallf through the evidence, and his decided impression woe , that there was nothing in it to support the join t indictment against the prisoner Henry Septimu s Eicke. Some discussion followed ,between the magistrate, Mr. Crombie, and Mr. Games, which ended in the dis charge of Henry Septimus Eicke ; the company Wl' , ing still the power to indict him at the Old Beilei for conspiracy to defraud. Further evidence against the other. prisoner was then gone into, after which Mr. Crombie said he had other witnesses to call, whose testimony would occupy some considerable time, and at that late hour of the evening be woul d not call them, but would request a remand to a futu re day, when they would be in attendance. Mr. Games said he had no objection to a remand , as it was quite impossible for him to prepare a de fence for his client, if he was sent for trial to the , pre sent session, and, therefore, if committed, he shoolt; have to get consent to have the case postponed, en', under the circumstances he was desirous for a rcale n ' beyond the session.. Mr. Crombie said that on the part of the company it was by no means his wish to press anything hars hl y against the prisoner, and the further examination * O5 adjourned for a week, Mr. Elliott peremptorily refus ing FROM THE LONDON GAZET OF TUESDAY.
