IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. -35 Mr. THORNEIA." suggested that employers and 1 .1; . 14, masters of working men in the metropolis should pay the men in their employment their wages on the Friday ,7=';,;‘,l\ instead of the Saturday, as was the practice in the north, ..,;.VAt \and if that were done forthwith in Lond on , th e H ouse " -would find that by next session there would be no ne ' Owasity for any such Bill as this. - Mr. G. THOMPSON said he was far from sympa- Allan with thc, senseless and absurd crumb which had 4 HOUSE OF COAIMONS, July 31. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) SUNDAY TRADING PREVENTION BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. ANSTEY moved as an amendment that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Bill this day three months. He Observed that whatever amendments might be made in it consistent with the title it would not carry out the object of those who promoted it in another place, and who professed, he would not say intended, to secure a bet ter observance of the Lord's-day. Even supposing that the evidence given before the Committee which had sat on the subject showed that it was desirable that a better observance of the Sabbath should be obtained in the me• tropolis, to the exclusion of all other parts of her Ma jesty's dominions, the Bill was wholly inadequate for the purpose. Were the iastancee of Sunday trading which had been seen in the metropolis by the Hon. Member who introduced the Bill such as to constitute a nuisance? If so, why did he not name those instances? He (Mr. Anstey) contended there bad been too much _ legislation on this subject, and that this Bill was a mass of undigested nonsense. Hecallod upon the promoters of this Bill, whom he might term its godfathers, to, prove the preamble before the House proceeded one step further. What was Sunday trading? Did it consist in selling apples or oranges on a kerb stone? No. It be gan with the miserable apple-woman and pot house, and went through all the intervening classes of society up to the Reform or Brookes' Club. Under this Bill luxuries were to be sold on the Sunday, because the poor could not buy them and the rich could. Any Hon. Member might buy Punch on a Sunday, provided it was stamped, but if he were to buy an unstamped copy for threepence he would be deemed a great sinner. —(A laugh.) This was a Bishops' Bill; it bad been framed by them, and they had taken care to provide for their own convenience, by exempting milk and cream from the provisions of this Bill. He doubted very much whether the promoters of the Bill were sincere in what they were doing, and in order totest that he intended to introduce an amendment to rutdown the driving of carriages on a Sunday, espe cially the carriages of those who were entitled to wear arms. He also intended to move an amendment that ser vants should not work on a Sunday. He believed that a Bill more disgusting, or one that would stink more in the nostrils of the people, had never been introduced into that House. It provisions were mon strous, and such that, if it passed, would be resented by the people.—(Hear, hear.) It could do no good, • but would cause great harm ; and he would venture to say that it had only been introduced to pamper the ap petites of a set of hypocrites.—(Hear, hear.) He con cluded by moving that the Bill be committed this day three months. Sir G. GREY deprecated any discussion on the prin ciple.of the Bill, which was decided last Wednesday, and complained that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had just sat down had wasted an hour and a half of the time of the House. He was quite aware of the difficul ties of passing a Bill of this nature that would be satis factory to all parties, but still he thought such a Bill was calculated to accomplish great practical good, and he hoped it would be passed in some shape or other. Mr. ANSTEY explained. Colonel THOMPSON corrected an error which he said prevailed amongst his friends that he supported this Bill because he thought it would lead to reaction. He did not think anything of the sort. He looked upon it as a peace offering of a pernicious character, and ho hoped all parties would join in endeavouring so to amend the Bill as to make it acceptable to all parties.—(Hear.) Mr, HUME objected to the Bill on principle. The parties who proposed it thought they could make people religious by Act of Parliament. Now, his experience convinced hint that it was quite impossible to do so. Such attempt always produced contrary results, and he regretted that Government had taken up the measure for the purpose of having it effectually disposed of. Govern ment was neglecting its duties upon all questions affecting the interests of the people. Look, for instance, at the Post-office. Government declined to step forward to stop the insane movement of a petty majority, but perhaps that was the fault of the Members thedasetves. Really, however, Government ought to be blamed fer all this, for if they would stand forth and rn Luridly oppose all measures calculated to reduce the civil and religious liberties of the pe , iple, they would find themselves backed by large majorities. This was a measure directed against the people. It was of a coercive character, and as he thought the days for inflicting penalties upon opinions had gone by, he shoeld support the amendmnsa.—(Cheers.) Mr. TRELAWNY thought this Bill, like the Post office measure, would lead to the desecration rather than secure the observance of the Sabbath, and he should oppose it to the last. Domestic servants were a very oppressed class, and the true object of this Bill was to enable the middle class tradesmen to oppress the poor man, as the aristocrat did his domestic. It was very desirable that one day should be set apart for rest, but that must be done through the common sense of the people, and not by Act of Parliament. Mr. R. SPOONER. said the real object of the Bill was to prevent unnecessary trading on the Sabbath, to prevent undue competition amongst small traders, who were as anxious that this Bill should pass as the veriest Sebba'arian either in or out of the House. He was at a loss to know what the Post-office measure had to. do with the question, except it was im pported into it to show how disgracefully the House behaved itself when a measure was backed by the prayers of the people. Not withstanding that the great mass of the people approved of the change in the Post-office, the House had attempted to overthrow it before it had a fair trial, end now it was proposed to reject this Bill in the face of the large number of petitions which the metropel;s had nreseated in its flavour. Mr. T. DUNC9.I.I mill that after the repudiation of the Bill by the Government, he thought he had a right to know who was the f.thor of the Bill. An Hon. Gen tleman who had lately resigned his seat ha I moved the second reading for hie absent friend Mr. Hindley, but where was that gentleman? 110 should have thought that the House had done enough mischief with regard to the Sabbath in the Post-office business without doing any more. They had great talk about the petitions which were presented to the House on this subject, but he was convinced that they were fictitious; the working classes, who were most affected by the Bill, knew nothing at all about the Bill. This Bill was the result of the cant and hypocrisy of Exeter Hall; hit he thought the public would have no more of Exeter Hall, They had seen enough of that clique. Ile wished that Honourable Members who desired to legislate for the metropolis would carry the Bill to their own constituencies, and see how they liked it. there. Let them build fresh houses for the poor, and give them good birders; lot them pay them their wages early on Saturday evening, and then legis late.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that the Government were wastine the time of the House by not coming forward decidedly, they were delaying valuable Bills by this trumpery discussion. Ho would much prefer leaving the objects sought to be attained by this Bill to the pro gress of education than to leglislatioo. Mr. B. WALL thought it was a lamentable position in which the House was placed, when they were asked to consent to a Bill like thi , , because it was within ten days of the end of the session. He did not think that this Bill was a prneiiceble 13111, and he could prove that from the evidence of the Committee on which this J3lll was founded. They had the direct testimony of Mr. Elliot, the magistrate who had to administer the provisions, against the Bill. Flo considered it quite im possible to carry it into working. There were points in the Bill respecting which ho should like to make some inquiries from the Attorney-General. He should like to know whether that species of cheap unfermented beer, which was sold at small shops without licence, would be included in the restrictions of this Bill, while the beer sold under licence would be exempted!? There were alreaily three Acts by which Sunday trading could be restrained, and he could see no occasion fei another. Under these circumstances, he called upon the House at any rate to postpone this Bill—to piess upon the Government the duty of seeing that the Sunday was properly observed. It was absurd to suppose that such a Bill ever could become law. Mr. ALCOCK said that, in consequence of the unex pected resignation of Mr. C. Pearson, the conduct of the Bill had fallen upon him. Ho should not attempt to follow the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, or the [lon. and Learned Member for Youghal, through the whole of their arguments, but simply content him self with asking the House to go into Committee. He , supported the Bill, not on Sabbatarian principles, but ott social grounds, and he thought if the House allowed the Bill to go into Committee, they would be astonished to see how moderate its provisions were. Lord ARUNDEL considered that Sunday was not a Divine ordinance, but merely a regulation of the Church. In foreign countries they would find that shops were open quite as much on Sunday as on other days.lie felt very disinclined to vote o n suc h su bj ects . Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD considered that it w a s impossible to carry this liih, It was only impeding more useful business, and he should move that the de bate be adjourned. Sir G. PECHELL suggested that the Bill should be withdrawn. Mr. C. ANSTEY wished to mention that this Bill, if it passed, would materially injure the interests of the most respectable Sunday papers. He was enabled to state this from communications which ho had received from the proprietors of the principal weekly papers, including the Weekly Dispatch, Sunday Times, Illustrated London Aews, Era, Lady's Newspaper, Lloyd's Weekly Yews-- paper, Weekly Times, Courier de l' Europe, and the Leader. Mr. W. J. FOX said most of the weekly.newspapers had been already seriously injured by the recent postal alterations, and he thought it hard if the proprietors of those papers were to be further prejudiced, as they would be,. under the provisions of the Bill. Lord DUDLEY STUART complained that the Hon. Member for Youghal (Mr. Anstey) had attacked this Bill and its promoters in a spirit of bitterness which was undeserved.—(Hear.) He (Lord Dudley Stuart) believed that this measure might be made a great boon to the working classes; and if the opponents of the Bill would meet its promoters in a candid spirit and allow it to go into Committee, he believed there was ample time to carry it; hrough the House before the close of the pre sent session. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment for adjourning the debate ... ... 36 Against it ... Majority s %.• 4 !sr— ta. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA7 EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1850. been made against this Bill. He must disassociate him self altogether from those Members who had made so wanton an attack on the feelings of a large por tion of the community. This measure had never been brought forward as a Sabbath observance Bill at all.—(Hear, hear.) It was only a Bill for diminishing the amount of unnecessary trading on the day called Sunday. He denied that any of the working classes, save the most dissolute part of them, were against this Bill. He had never come into contact with any decent working man who had communicated to him (Nfe. G. Thompson) any solid objection to this Bill. He submitted that this measure ought to have been treated with great respect, emanating as it did from those who bad shown so wise and considerate a respect for the feelings of their fellow-creatures.—(Hear, hear.) If this Bill should be thrown out during the present session, be would charge such an event upon its oppo nents, who bad made so bitter and wanton an attack upon the relitdous feelings of a large part of the com munity.—(Hear. hear.) Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR denied that either the Hon. Member for Youghal or the Hon. Member for Montrose was the exponent of the opinions entertained by the working classes with reference to this Bill. He had presided over a meeting of the working classes on the subject of this Bill, held in the metropolis, and at It est five to one were in favour of the measure. Mr. W. J. FOX was at a loss to understand how it was then that the working classes had petitioned sgainst it so much. In passing this Bill the House would be con sulting the convenience of two or three at the expense of hundreds, and such had been the effect of the Post-office change. He protested against the system which now prevailed of one party setting itself up as the judges of all the world, and endeavouring to force all parties to conduct themselves and spend their time as they thought proper. He had never till now, since he had held a :seat in the House, opposed the motion for going into Committee after a Bill had been read a second time, but this Bill contained no principle. At all events the principle, such as it was, would be only partial in its operation. It only applied to such places as the New-cut; but if the principle were good, why should it not extend to Hyde-park, where the groom,the footman, and the coachman were all engaged in working on the Sunday ? The Sabbath at the present time was very becomingly observed in the metropolis, and he was glad of it. It served as an illustration of the good sense of the people, and he warned the House not to disturb that state of things, or they might drive the people to extremes, and produce irreparable mischief. Mr. HEALD wished to make only one observation. He admitted that the Sabbath to some extent was ob served in London, but by no means to the extent that it was in the country, and hence the desire to confine the operation of this Bill to the metropolis. The amendment was withdrawn with leave. On the question that the Bill be withdrawn, Mr. ANSTEY announced his intention to oppose any Bill of this sort, or for the better observance of the Sabbath, no matter from what party it came.: The House had no more right to legislate upon this subect than it had to forbid idolatry. This was one of those matters which neither the House nor the Government had any right to interfere with. Sir G. GREY said, the object of this Bill had been very much misunderstood. He was glad that it had been withdrawn at this period of the session. —(Hear.) The only way to obviate the necessity for passing a Bill of this nature was the adoption of some plan amongst employers of paying wages on Friday instead of Satur day; and he really did hope the examples which had been mentioned in the course of the debate on this Bill would be extensively followed. Alderman COPELAND was glad the Right Hon. Baronet had referred to this subject, and bore his testi mony to the advantage which resulted from the practice of paying wages on Friday. The Bill was then withdrawn. The Ecclesiastical Residences, &c. (Ireland) Bill, the Churches and Chapels (Ireland) Bill, and the Clergy (Ireland) Bill, which stood for second reading to-day, were withdrawn. The Distress for Rent (Ireland) Bill, and the Small Tenements (Ireland) Bill, which also stood for second reading to-day, were postponed till Friday. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILL. Sir J. DUCK WOATLI said it was not his intention this session to proceed with this Bill, though he was Fully convinced that some alteration in the law was necessary with regard to weights and measures. He hoped, therefore, that the Government would introduce some measure on the subject next session, and if they did not that they would support him in the event of his brining in one himself. He concluded by moving that the Bill be read a third time this day three months. Mr. HUME hoped that no measure would be intro duced respecting weights and measures, except by the Government. After some further observations the amendment was agreed to. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. R. FOX was understood to support the Bill. Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved that it be read a second time this day three months. Mr. HUME thought the Government ought to state what course they intended to adept with regard to the measure. Sir G. GREY observed, that though he agreed with some of its previsions, he thought that many of the clauses were very objctionable. He considered the Bill was not one which ought to receive the sanction of the House without further consideration. M. DICKSON was understood to oppose the Bill. Sir H. W. BARRON said the effect of the Bill was to assimilate to a certain extent the law of Ireland to that of England. As the law now stood, after a land lord had instituted an expensive law suit to recover the possession of certain land from a tenant who might owe him considorahle arrears of rent, the tenant might, tP4 soon as possession was recovered, by stealth, and by the aid and assistance of a mob, break in upon the land and hold it in spite of the remonstrance of the landlord. Though this practice was contrary to all justice and common sense the landlord could not turn out the per son unless he instituted a second law suit. In fact in nine cases out of ten the landlord was the aggrieved party in Ireland, and the leaning of persons i❑ authority was always against them, and in favour of the illegality and injustice of the proceedings by the tenantry. He would ask a British House of Com mons if it would countenance a state of things which allowed defaulting tenants to carry off crops even on Sundays in spite of the remon strances of the landlord, and in the face of the autho rities, who ought to repress instead of inciting such a proceeding. All who voted against the second reading of the Bill would, in fact, be parties to the continuation of this system, which had so demoralizing a tendency on the peasantry of the country. Mr. REYNOLDS said the Hon. Baronet had made an unfounded charge against his fellow -countrymen of the tenant class, and had said they were robbers and swindlers, and persons guilty of frauds by wholesale. Sir W. BARRON denied that he had used those words. Mr. REYNOLDS said he clearly understood the Hon. Member to call the tenantry robbers, cheats, and swindlers t ,and that they who voted for the second read ing of tha till would be sanctioning their conduct. He also had said that the Irish landlords. were a calum niated and oppressed class of persons, and that the tenantry were quite the reverse. Mr. Reynolds then referred to the statements of the Rev. Mr. Osborne, an English clergyman who had lately travelled through the country, to show that this account of the Honourable Baronet was' incorrect and*at the landlords were the oppressors of the tenantry. This Bill had been in troduced to give power to the landlords of Ireland for the recovery of their rents which neither the manufac turer, merchant, nor trader of this country possessed for the recovery of their legitimate debts. If a tenant owed any rent, the landlord was to be at liberty to step in and dictate to the tenant. when and how he should re move his crops. He considered this an insulting and tyrannical measure, and he h4ped the Government would not give it their sanction ; and he would particularly caution them against receiving the advice of the Hon. Baronet, who, he considered, had borne false evidence against his country.—(Hear.) After a few words in reply from Sir W. BARRON and Hr...11,0m.T0N, Colonel RAWDON considered that the Bill had been introduced under false pretences, and was solely one for the interest and benefit of the landlord as against the tenant. Mr. ANSTEY said this was purely a landlord's Bill. It had no pretensions to amend the ex isting law,. its whole object being to give the landlord a lien over the property of the tenant which he did not now possess. If a tenant was to remove his crop between sunrise and sunset— that period during which. many small holders who were labouring men could only attend to their farms—the Hill would make him guilty of a misdemeanour, and he would, be punished with imprisonment, hard labour, and a .fine. Was tenant-right in such a satis factory state that they could venture to pass an unjust and stringent measure of this kind? In the north of Ireland, at least, Hon. Members had no right to pre- 1 vent a tenant removing his own property until they were satisfied that the tenant had no interest in his holding beyond what the pleasure of hit Landlord gave him. He deprecated any interference, on the part of the.

P. -SCROPE protested against an ex parte and a one-sided legislation for increasing the powers of the landlords of Ireland, especially at this period of the Bye. sion, and in this period of the history of Ireland k when the Government haul refused to do anything a put a stop to the exterminating process which had long gone on in Treland o in evicting the tenantry from their homes and holdings under circumstances of such unparalleled cruelty.—(Divide, divide.) The world stood appalled at the number and cruelty of the evictions which were now going on in Ireland ; and he contended that the Government must go into the whole question Of I.4ndlord and tenant before they passed a measure like this, cal- j culated to increase the Powers of the landlords. Mr. M'CULLAGII moved that the debate be ad journed, seeing that at that hour (twenty minutes past five) it was scarcely possible for the House to come to a satisfactory decision on the second reading of the Bill .befeie tha adjournment of the House. Mr. HAMILTON trusted his Hon. Friend (Mr. M.‘Cullagh) would not press his motion for the adjourn raeut of the lobate. . Mr. S. CRAWFORD 4 briefly opposed the Bill. Mr. REYNOLDS would oppose any measure cal culated to increase the power of the landlords of Ireland. Captain JONES advised the Hon. Member who had charge of this Bill to throw the responsibility of it upon the Government. After some irregular conversation, Mr. HAMILTON said he would consent to the ad journment of the debate. After some observations from Mr. REYNOLDS and Sir G. GREY, the debate was adjourned till to-morrow. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL. The House then proceeded to consider the amendments made by the Lords to this Bill, which were agreed to with a few verbal alterations. Clauses 17 and 18 were struck out. In answer to a question from Sir G. PECHELL, i was stated that the Lords' ameniments relative to a con , current jurisdiction were agreed to. INSPECTION OF COAL MINES BILL. Sir G. GREY moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. FORSTER deprecated, the second reading of so important a measure at so late an hoar (ten minutes to six). Atter some discussion, Mr. WAWN moved that the debate ba adjourned.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The chief inquiries in OUT Piece-hall, to-day, were for damasks and low lastings, neither of which kind of goods is to be readily ob tained, partly from the current prices not being re munerative, and partly from the difficulty of obtaining warps for those descriptions. The yarn trade is very active,.at improving rates; but, as regards low wefts., the merchants seem desirous to realise their late pur chases before they give out now orders. There is not very much doing in wool, as the spinners purchase sparingly, and take the advantage of making their se lections from the large stocks in the markets. George Archer, Liverpool, butcher.

MaieenEsTEß, JULY 31.—The following is a more minute account of this shocking and fatal calamity than appeared in our yesterday's publication. Oa Tuesday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a large portion of a new mill at Sotikport fell suddenly to the ground, and caused the death, we regret to say, of several of the hands employed about it. It is as yet impossible to say how many, but probably ten or eleven. The mill in question, which is called the Brinksway is the property of Mr. Cephus Howard. It is a new fire proof mill, having been comrn..nced in August last, and having been only occupied about a month by Mr. Joseph lleaword. It is a rattler hand.ome erection, and the calls are apparently substantial enough. It is 47 yards long and 20 wide, and is four stories in height, the bottom one being the doubling room, the second for throttle spinning, the third for carding, and the fourth for blowing. 'rho mill was of rather peculiar construction, being intended to be worked not only by a steam-engine, but also partly by an undershot water-wheel, which was in course of construction at the tine of the accident. The walls of the mill rested apon the solid rock, and down the centre of the mill 'an a row of iron ribbed pillars, 26 feet long, 4 inches diameter in the centr-, tapering to 8 inches diameter at each end; upon the heals f these pillars the 1 .orinfr beams, from which sprung the fire-proof arches over the" first floor, sprang. With one cxe, riot), these 'ipright pillars were 10 ft et apart from etch other; hut .no pillar was intermitted (where the i-e;:ond from the west end of the mill should have good), in order to Wow room for the water wheel being placed directly ender the mill. This wheel was to have been 20 feet in diameter, and to have been supplied with water by an arched tunnel running under the first floor e,f the mill, to within 40 feet of the west gable. At 40 feet from that gable the first floor ceased, the space occupied by it - being for that distance taken up by the water-wheel and gearing; or rather about two-thirds of the area of the mill was so taken up for that length, for there was a ice lower floor across the other third, on the north side of the mill, where some gearing was to have been placed to connect the water-wheel 2 Nub the steam-engine; and this portion of the floor ' jag was supported by a wall running longitudinally sarallel to the outer wall, and did not at all depend 7k for support upon the beams in the centre of the mill. We nave stated already that the beams down the c e ntr e o f 2 the mill, and supporting the floors, were, with one ex ssi ception, placed at a distance of 10 feet from each other, 5 and that in that single instance there was a distance of 51 •4 .10 feet. Now, in order to support the intermediate 5 flooring, a large and heavy iron flange beam, with an o arched top, 3 feet 4 inches deep in the centre, was car -5U tied longitudinally down the mill, and was supported upon the heads of the two nearest pillars; and to the ik centre of this beam the flooring beams for the outer walls of the building were carried; the ends of the cross beams were supported upon strong boxes, and their ends were moreover strongly bolted to the longitudinal Dem. Of course, the nature of the construction of this beam is of the utmost importance in determining the cause of the accident (which, it will be seen, occurred os just at this point of the mill), but this we were not en abled to ascertain, for at the time that we visited it yes terday afternoon this beam was still covered with rub oish. We were also not able to ascertain whether the upright pillars supporting the longitudinal beam were of any greater strength than the remainder of the pillars, =Mich were obviously not subjected to anything like the strain of the two in question. Our impression is that they were not. The above are such particulars as to the construction of the mill as we were able to collect during a neces sarily hasty visit yesterday afternoon. The accident took place yesterday afternoon, as we have already stated, between one and two o'clock. At that hour the whole of the interior portion of the mill, from the point where the first floor ceased, except that portion of it which, as we have stated, was supported by the longi aidinal wall—that is, the whole of the building which depended upon the longitudinal beam and its supporting pillars—fell suddenly, and without any previous warning, the ground, with a fearful crash, burying several per sons under the ruins. Altogether about one-sixth part if the mill has fallen to the ground. Fortunately, the mill hands were almost all at dinner at the time, or the !onsequences to life must have been dreadful. As it was, there were only a few females, a boy, and a man, who had remained to eat their dinners at the mill, as far as we can learn, in the part of the building which fell. John Marsh, a machine maker, was one of these. He was in the third story, and he states that the first thing that alarmed him was seeing the brickwork fall from the fire-proof arches of the room; that he immediately ran to the other end of the mill, and thus escaped, the building crashing down be hind him as he went. Of the women who were in the mill at the time none wholly escaped; but three were im ,ce. rnediately afterwards rescued from the ruins:—Elizabeth _ and Ann, daughters of Richard Salt, butcher, Portwood; who were on the first-floor of the mill when the accident eappened, and were not seriously injured, and Ellen Ashton, who fell three stories; she was taken out of the r -limns dreadfully injured, and though every attention was rendered to her at the Stockport Infirmary, she expired ; in about two hours. The boy to whom we have alluded, and who was in the lower room, was also carried down amongst the ruins, and when found he had a severe flesh wound on his thigh; but this, it is hoped, will not prove serious. Four other women have not been seen since the ce. accident, and it is supposed that they must have bean in _ the mill at the time, and that their bodies must still (at the time we write) be buried under the ruins. These are Nlargaret Harding (single woman), of New Bridge , lane; Ann Swindells, a married woman. with four chil . Iron; Elizabeth Sykes, a girl fourteen or fifteen years • ild; another girl, named Cash. But besides these there were workpeople—millwrights and their labourers—en 'aged in putting up the new water-wheel at the time of she accident. Of these Ephraim Eidson, Wright Bar ker, and John Bushby (millwrights), and James Rubin ton, Joseph Orme, and Samuel Harrop (labourers), were known to have been engaged under the part of the mill is which has fallen at the time of the accident; the four irst about the wheel, and the two last near the west sable wall, throwing rubbish into the weir. As none of hese men have been seen since the accident, they also, we fear, must be assumed to be buried under the rub bish. This would give eleven lives lost; as follows: ice. Ellen Ashton, Margaret Harding, Ann Swindells, Eliza beth Sykes, Cash, Ephraim Kidson, Wright Barker, John Bushby, James Robinson, Joseph Orme, Samuel Harrop. The damage done to tho mill and machinery is, as must necessarily have been the case, very considerable. ,U A large piece of the upper portion of the west gable wall , 34 is torn away, and this gable wall, and also about forty 'eet (or four bays) of the southern side wall of the mill are much shattered by large and numerous cracks in • them in all directions. It is estimated that the damage thus resulting to the carcass of the mill will be about 1,000/., as nearly as can at present be calculated. The damage to the machinery is, however, computed at no less than 7,000/. The machinery was all of the newest and best construction, and the following (almost all of them exceedingly valuable) machines are totally de itroyed:—Six carding engines, three jack frames, a irawing frame, a pair of intermediate frames, ten thros tles, eight or nine doubling frames, and two pair of reels. But this does not at all adequately represent the damage lone, for a large number of very valuable machines have been most seriously damaged by the falling of the longitudinal shafting carried down by the falling mate rials. With regard to the cause of the accident, we are not at present in a position to speak very decidedly ; it seems pretty clear that it must have arisen from some ► k , weakness in the two westernmost pillars in the beam 4 Above the intended water-wheel which they supported, ti for not only has the damage been confined to the part of the mill which depended upon these supports, but one of the millwrights who, though under the part in question, was fortunately sufficiently near the west gable to make his escape through one of the arches for the outpouring of the water after it had passed under the wheel, states ;bat he first saw the arches immediately above him give )% way near the first pillar from the west gable—that is Gd one of the pillars supporting the longitudinal beam. We 3 apprehend, therefore, that the question will ultimately 3 s• resolve itself into one as to whether the accident has arisen from the weakness of the pillars or of the beam; but until these are disinterred from the mass of rubbish 134 which at present covers them up, together with the bodies of the several unfortunate sufferers, no cxamina is, tion of them can be had, 'and no opinion can be formed 3d. upon the point. 6d Since the above was written the removal of the ruins has commenced, and throe bodies, those of the wheel- wrights, had been got out yesterday morning. The in quest was fixed for last (Wednesday) evening, but as 6d )% tho whole of the bodies had not been recovered, it would 9d necessarily be adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. John W. Edwards, surgeon, St. Martin's-lane. was brought before Mr. Hardwick. charged with having used a certain instrument. with intent to procure abor tion. Mr. Hutchinson said he attended to prosecute on be. half of the Medical Protection Society. The prisoner was charged with having used an instrument and drugs c to eu p m ro a c n u d re it ab w o a rt a io a n e , sp in ee t te h d e t c h a a s t e o t f he a prifemaleson prisoner h practised N, the same offence commonly, as it would be proved that he himself had co n f esse d h e had received money oven from ladies of title for performing the same op era ti on . Elizabeth Hobb s , a respectable looking woman, was 134 called. Sh e sa id s h e was the wife of James obbs, Praed-street, Paddington, and went out to service. Last Tuesday three weeks, the 12th of July, she went to the prisoner's house, in St. M art i n ' s - lane, and told h i m t h at she suspected she was in the family way, and that this would be very awkward if it were so , as she had to go to a place in a few days. The prisoner asked her if she vitas a married woman, and she replied she was. The prisoner examined her and pronouuced her to be enciente. !le said if she vi ould give him 51. he would make it all right. She told him she could not afford Si., and then he said he would do it for 21., and told her to go home and gather as much of the money as she could. Next day she went to him, and gave him .55., promising him the balance of 355., out cf her first quarter's wages. The prisoner was satisfied with these terms, and he told her to place herself on a sofa with her face from him. She did Yo, and she saw him with an instrument like a pencil in his hand, which he had previously taken from a desk in the room. She had only a glimpse of the instrument. The prosecutrix then described the operation Ow underwent in which the instrument was used. She felt only very little pain, and she then went home. On Tuesday she went a wrin to the prisoner's house , and underwen t precisely the same operation. On Saturday she paid him a third visit, and a repetition of the same operation occurred. The prisoner told her he had now done all that was ne cessary, and he gave her a box of pills. Other particu• lara were mentioned. To induce her to submit to the suciA.R AND MOLASSES. A very important decision has been come to by the Supreme Court of tho United S:ateF, viz., that in the esti• mate of duties charged under the laws on importation of sugar and molasses, allowance s h ou ld b e ma d e f or l oss or deficiency occurring on the voyage of importation, the weight or quantity arriving in the United States consequently governing iu the assessment of such duties ; that the words " invoice value" in the proviso to the Bth section of the Act of 30th July, 1846, were to be regarded as meaning " invoice price;" and that if that pric bo fixed too low in the foreign country from which the article.; aro exp " or lower than it should be on the quantity likely to be saved and to arrivo hero, it is the duty of the appraisers to raise the price." In compliance with the rule thu3 finally established by the highest judicial tribun a of the country tne col lectors and other officers of the Customs in the United States have directed that on all future importations of sugar and molasses the duties are to be levied upon the actual quantity arriving in the United States. In order to secure aju,t, Nadal, and impartial ap praisal of all goods, wares; and merchandise imported into the United States, the following rules and regu lations are established:— 1. That the period of the exportation of merchandise is the time at which the value or price of any article is to be fixed by the appraisers. 2. That, in ordinary cases, the date of the bill of lad ing may be regarded as the " period of exportation." 3, That in all important cases the appraisers will pur sue the course indicated in the 17th section of the Aet of 30th August, 1842, and the collector will preserve the evidence and papers in each such case, to be trans mitted to the department when called for. 4. That in all cases of appeal from the decision of the appraisers, the result of such appeal, with all the papers connected therewith, and the views of the collector thereon, are to be forwarded to the Department imme diately. 5. That in order that the Department may be in formed, as far as may be, of the appraised v a l ue o f th e principal articles imported, and with a view to secure the greatest practical uniformity, a monthly report shall be forwarded according to the form herewith. 6. That where m — erchandize shall be entered at ports where there are no appraisers appointed, the foreig❑ value is to be ascertained, in the manner before pre scribed, by the revenue officers to whom is committed, by the laws, the estimating and collection of duties in such cases.

FRAN CE. The National Assembly adopted on Tuesday evening, by 352 to 194, the Bill on the Police of Theatres, which re- establishes the censorship for dramatic works. The Assembly afterwards pro ceeded to discuss the Orleans and Bordeaux and Tours and Nantes Railway Bills, and decided the question of urgency in the affirmative. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The General of the Holstein army has issued the following proclamation : " In consequence of the proportionately great losses sustained among the officers of the Schleswig-Holstein army at Idstedt, the recruiting of this important depart. ment of military power is at present the greatest want of the army. To the officers of all German troops therefore who are young and strong, and whose hearts are with the cause which we are here dsfending,we address the summons to repair, as quickly as possible, to Rendsburg, wh ere they will be sure to find a position suited to their rank and abilities, whether as volunteers or to be definitively enrolled. " All German papers are requested to insert this pro. clamation in their columns. " VON WILLISEN, Commander-in-Chief. " Cluvensteck, July 27, 1850." GE RMAN Y. A letter from Berlin of the 27th says—" Things are assuming a certain gravity. There is a talk of a very energetic demonstration being made by the Prussian Government against Austria, but it is not believed that there will be any real hos tilities. It is known that there are two notes from Vienna. One refuses the proposition of Prussia, to discuss at Frankfort, in a free con ference,lthe definitive organization of the larger con federation. It further intimates that the public law of Germany authorised Austria and her allies to con stitute themselves into a restricted .Diet; and, with out containing a menace to send away the central commission, it indicates a disposition of the Austrian Government to side with those who demand the restoration of the old Diet. This note has caused our Government to take this day the reso lution of recalling its plenipotentiaries from Frank fort, and this will no doubt be followed by the departure of all those of the Union. But, not withstanding the gravity of the note which has led to this resolution, it is the second note which is of the greatest importance. In this document the Austrian Government protests against the troops of the Duchy of Baden being sent into Prussia, and formally de mands that the Prussian troops shall quit the duchy, and that the Baden troops shall return to their country. It is added—but, although derived from a good source, this grave state ment requires confirmation that Austria has threatened to march into Baden in the event of Prussia not complying with her demands. In con sequence, a Council of Ministers has been held, and it is said that the Minister of War proposed to plade at once all the army on a war footing. The Council, however, objected to the expense, about 30,000,000 tbalers ; but nevertheless, all preparations are to be made to enable the army within eight days to enter on a campaign. All this, it must be repeated, requires confirmation, but what appears positive is that two corps d armie are to be sent towards Kreuznach and Wetelar, and that a third is to be assembled at Erfurt. Everything is al ready prepared for the establishment of those corps at the places indicated. The necessary lists are drawn up at the Ministry of War, and only require the formality of signing. The reserve is already con voked on the Rhine and in Westphalia." ITAL Y The Croce di Savoia or Turin announces that the Bishops of Piedmont had received a Pontifical bull, recommending them to submit to circumstances, and obey the laws of the country. The King of Sardinia and the Duke and Duchess of Genoa are at the waters of C 'urmayeur, in the valley of Aosta. A letter from Civita Vecchia of the 20th, in the Bologna Gazette, announces that Sig. Cernusivili has been sent to Marseilles on board a steamer, and is at liberty to stay there, or to go wherever he pleases. The Nazionale of Florence, of the 23d, states from Rome, that while the Pope was passing across the Piazza di Pasquino, a French officer, in plain clothes, stopped to see the pageant without taking off his hat, when a noble-guard, Count Pietro della Porta, knocked off his hat with his sabre. The Frenchman responded by laying his whip on the aggressor's shoulders. A duel ensued, which, however, ended without bloodshed. We learn by letters from Rome of the 19th, in the Bologna Gazette, that eight young men arrested in the act of manufacturing Bengal lights, have been condemned to twenty years' hard labour. Five more had been acquitted. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TrESDAY.—On Saturday there were slight indications of recovery from the weakness which had suddenly come over the yarn market; and this ten dency hai been aided ny the renewed buoyancy which the Europa's advices have given rise to in Liverpool. To the diminished animation and firmness of last week has succeeded a revival of confidence; and the spinners have more than re-established the quotations of the pre viously active week. There are too many contracts in hand for the producers to be individually willing to make extensive sales; yet the transactions of the day have reached a considerable aggregate amount. The German and Dutch merchants have shown them selves free buyers, as have also the home housei; and they have paid an advance averaging *d. to id. per pound, in mule and water twist, over the attainable rates of Thursday last. Pin-cops are scarce and dear; and the rise in 20's to 24's throstle warps is to id. per pound. For the ordinary run of yarns, the Russians are still almost out of the market; but they continued taking the better qualities of the finer counts (so far as they are to be met with), and paying still increasing prices for them. Doubled yarns, with some exceptions, have the general bias. As the India houses do not re-commence operations, common 40's remain flat. In the present position of prices, it is not at all surprising that the courage of both sellers and buyers should come and go in the manner we have lately witnessed. Ame rican cotton is dearer than it has been known to be since February, 1837, except during the interval betwixt December, 1838, and June, 1839—much dearer, indeed, than during the greater portion of those thirteen years; and yarns have not been so high as they are now fur nine years—some descriptions for ten years back. On the other hand, though exaggeration is sus pected, yet the probability of another deficient crop of cotton is felt to be very great ; and, besides so high a cost of production, there is, also, to give elasticity to prices, a bona fide demand of unprecedented magni tude, with producers holding less stock and more ample contracts than, perhaps, at any former period. It is certain that the German manufacturers are not more than moderately supplied; and the advices now received show, that, acquiring confidence in prices, they are giving orders with greatly increased freedom. The India houses still keep aloof from the goods market ; and 40-inch shirting., with other arti cles, of which they are the principal purchasers, con tinue, therefore, very much neglected. Low 7 Bths printing cloths, also, are still inanimate, though, per haps a little more inquired after. In all these articles, however, great firmness prevails. The demand is again active for most kinds of long cloths, for T cloths, and for the lighter domestics generally; and full prices are obtained. The better sorts of domestics are not, however, equally in request. Although, in most de. scriptions of goods, prices are now higher than they have been for several years, yet, such is the relative dear ness of yarns, that the manufacturer is unable to realise the cost price of the day for the most saleable articles : short time is, consequently, once more threatened. jaunt: l :et nneh attendance anhsnesa appearance TUESDAY.—The activeoe e oad s r u ,a nanved.—obfuT business large ne condition,es sab trade shivan seofrbtosi been eeTnd hbl aorshow woollens thkwoweeokf.g continuesoo The d consequentg of l b t° n e v ii n D e Ass3L'4nMe °ll ri l)A th T e .-- fi ' a r t h l e e r i n ra h lasrkbeetento-adfsayir• abmutouthnet number of piece, offer e d f ir sa l e bas been more' limited, which may be accounted for when we consider that it was the Rochdale races.
