IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, 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 whoprofessed, 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 instances 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. Recalled 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 Peach on a Sunday, provided it was stamped, but if he were to buy en unstamped copy for threepence he would be deemed a great sinner. —(A laugh.) This Was a Bishops' Bill ; it had 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 putdown the driving of carriages on a Sunday, espe lly 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 he 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 him that it was quite impossible to do so. Such attemps 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 themselves. Really, however, Government ought to be blamed fa. all this, for if they would stand forth and manfully oppose all measures calculated to reduce the civil and religious liberties of the people, they would find themselves backed by large majorities. This was a measure directed against the people. Is was of a coercive character, and as he thought the days for inflicting penalties upon opinions had gone by, he should support the aniendm-nt.—(Cheers.) Mr. TRELAWNY thought this Bill, like the Post office measure, would leal to the desecration rather than secure the observance cf the Sabbath, and he should oppose it to the last. Domestic servants were a very oppressed class, and the tree object of this Bill was to enable the middle class tradesmen to oppress the poor man, as the aristocrat (lid his domestic. It was very desirable that one dry 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 Sibba'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 ported 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 Heim had attempted to overthrow it before it h ail a f sir trial, end now it was proposed to reject this Bill in the face of the lsrze number of petitions which the metrappli, had presented in its favour. 1::r. T. DUSCOMBE paid that after this repudiation of the Bill by the Government, he thought he had a right to know who was the f ether of the Bill. An Hon. Glen tlem*e, !;: , •r! hei tte-nr! e: t'atstl 1); icod Mr. Ritlq;'l". bat n . , 11^ 11.) enrryzh with regard to tho Sabha.th bur.iness without doing any more. They had great talk about the petitions which were presented to the House on this sithiect, bit he VS , .1 is 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 colt and hypocrisy of Exeter Hall; but 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 larders; let them pay them their wages early on Saturday evening, and then legis late.—(flear, hear.) He thought that the Government were wasting' tlae time of the House by not coming forward decidedly, they were delaying valuable Bills by this trumpery diemssion. He would much prefer leaving the objects sought to be attained by this Bill to the pro gress of education than to leglislation. 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 this, because it was within ten days of the end of the session. He did not think that this Bill was a practicable Bill, and he could prove that from the evidence of the Committee on which this Bill was founded. They had the direct testimony of Mr. Elliot, the magistrate who had to administer the provieions, against the Bill. He considered it quite im possible to carry it into working. There were points in the Bill respecting which he 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 exetioptedi? There were already three Acts by which Sunday trading could be restrained, and he could see no occasion fn. another. Under these circumstances. he called upon the House at any rate to po3tpone this Bill—to press 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. He should not attempt to follow the Hon. Gentleman who had jast sat down, or the Hon. and Learned Member for Youghal, throurta the whole of their arguments, bat simply content him self with asking the House to go into Committee. He supported the Bill, not on Sabbatarian principles, but on social grounds, and he thought if the House allowed the Bill to go into Committee, they would be astonished to .ee 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. He felt very disinclined to vote on such subjects. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD considered that it was impossible to carry this all. 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 he had received from the proprietors o' the principal weekly papers. including the Weekly Dispatch, Sunday Times, Illust,•ated London Aews, Era, Lady's Newspaper, Lloyd's Weekly Xeu•s paper, Weekly Times, courier de r 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 fur 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 vo into Curemittee, he believed there was ample time to carry it; hrough the House before the close of the pre sent session. The /louse then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment for adjourning the debate ... Against it ... Majority ... 36 -35 Mr. THORNELY suggested that employers and masters of working men in the metropolis should pay the men in their employment their wages on the Friday instead of the Saturday, as was the practice in the north, and if that were done forthwith in London, the House would find that by next session there would be no ne cessity for any such Bill as this. Mr. G. THOMPSON said ho was far from sympa thising with the senseless and absurd crusade which had THE • 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.—(llear, 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 (Mr. G. Thompson) any solid obj, , ction to this Bill. He submitted that this measure ought to have been treated with great respect, emanating as it did from those who had shown so wise .ssad considerate a respect for the feelings of their fellow-creatures.—(Hear, hear.) If this Bill should be thrown out during the present session, he would charge such an event upon its oppo nents, who bad made so bitter and wanton an attack upon the religious 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 least 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 against 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. Ho 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 wa., would be only partial in its operation. It only applied to such places as the New-cut; but if the pririciple 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 subset 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. WEIGEITS AND MEASURES BILL. Sir J. DUCK WOATH said it was not his intention :his session to proceed with this Bill, though he was 'ully 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 brineing 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 adopt 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 objectionable. 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 isf England. As Vie law now stood, after a land lord had instituted an expengive law suit to recover the possession of certain I Ind from a tenant who might owe him considerable arrears of rent, the tenant might, as soon as possession was recovered, by stealth, and by the rid and eve' eanee of a reels, heeek in 1;7 , n the lend and held it in soi'e et . the reutoee - rence ot the land:ord. Theueh this prlit:tk , ; vi con.rary to all ifee ice and coesneen .. 4 !!ITe the lantrord conlel net tarn out the per son unlesa 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 in authority was always against them, and in favour of the illegslity and injustice of the proceedings by the tenantry. He would ask a British House of Com mons it 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 ot the Bill would, in fact, be parties to the continuation of this system, which had an 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 truant class, and had said they were robbers and swindlers, and persons guilty of frauds by wholesale. Sir W. BARRON denied that he bad used those words. Mr. REYNOLDS said he clearly understood the Hon. Member to call the tenantry robbers, cheats, and swindlers, and that they who voted for the second read ing of the Bill 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 that 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 rec )very 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 hoped 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 Mr. HAMILTON, Colonel RAWDON considered that the Bill had been introduced ander 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 Bill would make him guilty of a misdemeanour, and ho 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 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 his landlord gave him. He with the view of doing deprecated any interference, on the Art of the Hoese, worked so well for the teavvnaanytrywtiotalft l e p u t e s r t . 0 m which had personsthe s ß h i o ll u , submitted only enacted that if Mrjor BLACKA.M. au ld wh he ich fou h ud e at an improper hour frauduleitl c they should b e li a bl e to a penalt arer asked the H ouse ying away crop s it any one could sa y t h at that would be a ninjury t o t h e tenant, or prejudici a l t o any r i ght he might hare for compensation for his improvements? Colonel CHA.TTERTON was understood to say y he would support the Bill, groundi ng hi s op i nion u collision he had once seen in Ireland in hi s own tfneoigha bourhood between the military and a mob of persons engaged in earrying away crops. 21r. P. SCRO PE 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 ses• sion. and in this period of the history of Ireland, when the Government hwl refused to do anything to put a stop to the exterminating process which had long gone on in Ireland, in evicting the tenantry from their homes and holdings under circumstances of such unparalleled cruelty.—(Divide, divide.) The world stood applied 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 1 sndlord and tenant before they passed a measure like this, cal 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 before the adjournment of the House. ►fir. HAMILTON trusted his Hon. Friend (Mr. M'Culiagh) would not press his motion for the adjourn ment cf the debate. . - SUN, LONDON, Mr. S. CRAWFORD,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 upoa the Government. Afcer 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. PECIIELL, ii was stated that the Lords' amendments 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 hour (ten minutes to six). After some discus4ion, Mr. WAWN moved that the debate be adjourned. Strangers were ordered t ) withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment of the debate Against ... 15 ... 54 Majority against the adjournment ... —39 It being now Six o'clock, the House adjourned. 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 defending,we address the summons to repair, as quickly as possible, to Rendsburg, where 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 %VILLISEN, Commander-in-Chief. " Cluvensteck, July 27, 1850." GE ItIVIAN 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 place at once all the army on a war footing. The Council, however, objected to the expense, about 30,000,000 thalers ; 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 darmie 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 of 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 CJurmayeur, in the valley of Aosta.

The Nazionale of Florence, of the 233, 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 bis 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, endel 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 Ilingal lights, have been condemned to twenty years' hard labour. Five more had been acquitted. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANME,TER, TrEFDAY.—On Saturday there were slight indications of recovery from the weakness which had suddenly come over the yarn market; and this ten dency his been aided oy the renewed buoyancy which the Europa's advices ha've 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-establi:,hed the quotations of the pre viously active week. There are too many c.)ntracts 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 houses; 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 throstlt warps is 11. to }(1. 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 aro to he 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 for 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 bond 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 skirtings, 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 mono threatened. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The trade for woollens continues i u n in t n he th s e am a e active condition, as noticed last week. Th e attendance appearance n a c n e d business of flargebu has e r b s e . en Thebrisk show co n o s f e g q o u o e d n s email.

MACCLESPIELD, TUESDIY.—There is more disposition evinced to operate in good,, but manufacturers are not diposed to go on at late current rates, they being very much below value, compared to the price of raw mate rial, which has advanced considerably of late. Stocks of goods are comparatively light, and this will no doubt operate favourably for the manufacturers. There is considerably more inquiry for thrown silks, e s p ec i a ll y of the finer descriptio ns, o f which there is a scarcity; and as the market stands for raw silks , a large a d vance must be obtained on those qualities to make them p a y. The raw silk market continues active, at the late al. THURSDAY EVENING, vance, and some sorts of silks are held from market for a further advance. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--.The chief inquiries in our Piece-hall, to-day, were for damasks and low lastings, neither of which kind of goods is to be readily ob tained, p3rdy 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 rases; but, as regards low welts, the merchants seem desirous to realise their late pur chases before they give out new 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. SUGAR AND MOLASSES. A very important decision has been come to by the Supreme Court of the United Sates, viz., that in the esti mate of duties charged under the laws on importation of sugar and molasses, allowance should be made for loss or deficiency occurring on the voyage of importation. the weight or quantity arriving in the United States consequently governing in the assessment of such duties ; that the words " invoice value" in the proviso to the Bth section of the Act of 30'h July, 1846, were to be regarded as meaning " invoice price;" and that if that prico be fixed too low in the foreign country from which the articles are exprted, " or lower than it should be on the quantity likely to be saved and to arrive here, it is the duty of the appraisers to raise the price." In compliance with the rule thus finally established by the highest judicial tribunil of the country the 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 a just, faithful, and impartial ap praisal of all goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States, the following rule 3 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 value of the 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 merchandize shall be entered at ports where there are no appraisers appoi n t e d, t h e f oreign 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.

MANCHESTER, 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, large portion of a new mill at Stockport fell suddenly . o 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 Mill, is the property of Mr. Cephas Howard. It is a new fire proof mill, having been commenced in August last, and having been only occupied about a month by Mr. Joseph Heaword. It is a rather handsome erection, and the walls 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 throstlo spinning, the third for carding, and the Fourth for blowing. The 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 .tie time of the accident. The walls of the mill rested upon the solid rock, and down the centre of the mill an a row of iron ribbed pillars, 26 feet long, 14 inches diameter in the centr.-, tapering to 8 inches . „ diameter at each end; upon the heads of these pillars the I,oring beams, from which sprung the fire-proof arches A over the first floor, sprang. With one exurption, these tpright pillars were 10 feet, apart from each other; but pne pillar was intermitted (where the recond from the west end of the mill should have t,tood), in order to illow room fur the- water wheel being placed directly index the mill. This wheel was to have bean 20 feet in diameter, and to have been supplied with water by at arched tunnel running under the first floor of the mill, to within 40 feet of the west gable. At 40 feet from that cable 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 nill was so taken up for that length, for there was a 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 with the steam-engine; and this portion of the floor ,:g was supported by a wall running longitudinally aarallel to the outer wall, and did not at all depend tor support upon the beams in the centre of the mill. We -lave stated already that the beams down the centre of the mill, and supporting the floors, were, with one ex ception, placed at a distance of 10 feet from each other, end that in that single instance there was a distance of 20 feet. Now, in order to support the intermediate flooring, a large and heavy iron flange beam, with an srched top, 3 feet 4 inches deep in the centre, was car- Pied longitudinally down the mill, and was supported upon the heads of the two nearest pillars; and to the centre of this beam the flooring beams for the outer walls of the building were c arri e d ; the ends.of the cross beams were supported upon strong boxes, and their 3ncla were moreover strongly bolted to the longitudinal van). Of course, the nature of the construction of this *am is of the utmost importance in determining the 3ause of the accident (which, it will be seen, occurred just at this point of the mill), but this we were not en sbled to ascertain, for at the time that we visited it yes terday afternoon this beam was still covered with rnb aish. 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, which 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 alreedy 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 tudinal 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, o the ground, with a fearful crash, burying several per ions under the ruins. Altogether about one-sixth part )f the mill has fallen to the ground. Fortunately, the mill hands were almost all at dinner at the time, or the consequences 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 ss we can learn, in the part ,of the building which fell. John Marsh, a machine maker, was one of r.hese, 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 Dill at the time none wholly escaped; but three were im mediately 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 happened, and were not seriously injured, and Ellen Ashton, who fell three stories; she was taken out of the ruins 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, mad who was in the lower room, was also carried down amongst the ruins, and when found he had a severe flesh 'sound on his thigh; but this, it is hoped, will not prove merious. Four other women have not been seen since the accident, and it is supposed that they must have been in he mill at the time, and that their bodies must still (at tie time we write) be buried under the ruins. These aro Viargaret Harding (single woman), of Now Bridge lane; Ann Swindells, a married woman, with four chil _ . ' Iren; Elisabeth Sykes, a girl fourteen or fifteen years )Id; another girl, named Cash. But beside.; these there were workpeople—millwrights and their labourers—en gaged in putting up the new water-wheel at the time of the accident. Of these Ephraim Kidson. Wright Bar ker, and John Bushby (millwrights), and James Rubin. son, Joseph Orme, anti Samonl 1-.l!rrop (! q ty- m rp n ;), were !tnown to hare been engaged under the part of the mill which has fallen at the time of the accel , .w; the tour first abort the wheel, and the tee last near the west gable wall, throwing rubbish into the weir. As none of these 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 lest; as follows: . . Ellen Ashton, Margaret Harding, Ann Swindells, Eliza beth Sykes, ear t h, Ephraim Kidson, Wright Barker, John Bushby, James Robinson, Joseph Orme, Samuel Harrop. The damage done to the mill and machinery is, as aaust necessarily have been the case, very considerable. A large piece of the upper portion of the west gable wall is torn away, and this gable wall, and also ahout forty 'eet (or four bays) of the southern side wall of the mill are much shattered by large and numerous cracks in ,hem in all directions. It is estimated that the damage thus resulting to the carcass of the mill will be about 1,0001., as nearly as can at present be calculated . The damage to the machinery is, however, computed at no iess 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 4troyed :—Six carding engines, three jack frames, a drawing frame, a pair of intermediate frames, ten thros (lee, eight or nine doubling frames, and two pair of reels. But this does nct 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 weakness in the two westernmost pillars in the beam Above the intended water-wheel which they supported, 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 that he first saw the arches immediately above him give way near the first pillar from the west gable—that is one of the pillars supporting the longitudinal beam. We apprehend, therefore, that the question will ultimately 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 which at present covers them up, together with the bodies of the several unfortunate sufferers, no examina tion of them can be had, 'and no opinion can be formed upon the point. Since the above was written the removal of the ruins has commenced , and three bodies, those of the wheel- wrighte, had been got out yesterday ,The in quest was 'fixed tor last t Wedhe'sday) ,evening, but as the whole of the bodies had not been recovered, it would necessarily be adjourned.

Edwards, surgeon, St. Martin's-lane. was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having used a certain instrument. with intent to procure abdr don. 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 to procure abortion, in the case of a female who was in confessedcom m o nl commonly, he a s h a court, and it was susp ec t e d t h at the prisoner practised it d would received h e money proved even that he t he himself sam e offence had from ladies of title for performing the same operation. Elizabeth Hobbs, a respectable loeking woman, was called. She said s h e was the wife of James Hobbs, 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. Martin's lane, and told him that she suspected she was in the family way, and that this would be very awkward if it were so, as she bad to go to a place in a few days. The prisoner asked her if she was a married woman, and she replied she was. The prisoner examined her and pronounced her to be enciente. lie said if she would give him 51. he would make it all right. She told him she could not afford, 51., and then he said he would do it for 21., and told her to b to 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., our a 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 so, 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 she underwent in which the instrument was used. She felt only very little pain • , an d she then went home. On Tuesday she went again to the prisoner's house, and underwent 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 no cossary, and he gave her a box of pills. Other particu lars were mentioned. To induce her to submit to the.' ------------------ -------- t operation, the prisoner told her he did more for gel d b?.t way than for poor people —that some ladle' bed paid him 20/.
