IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. . HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 1. LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) P. HOWARD supported the second reading of the. Bill, believing it would relieve trustees from the re sponsibility whin at present rested on them in reference to making agreements with tenants in certain cases. •The Bill was then read a second time. Mr. PUSEY hoped the House would grant an early day for the committal of the Bill, looking at the dis tressed condition of the farming interest in the country. Mr. CHRISTOPHER would resist any attempt to hurry this Bill through the House without the fullest discussion. Colonel SIBTHORP said there could not be a more un fortunate time for bringing in a Bill of this kind than the present, and he would oppose it at every stage, believing that it wasfill-timed, and calculated to lead to disappoint ment among the tenant-farmers. The Bill was then ordered to be committed to-morrow. RAILWAY TRAFFIC BILL. Mr. RICARDO proceeded to move the second reading of this Bill. He]was chairman of a rail way company which had in view the shortening of the distance between London and Manchester. Six Committees had sat on this subject, and had pre sented reports, independent of the reports of the Railway Commissioners, and he thought that if any gen tleman went through these reports carefully he would come to the conclusion that some such measure as the pre sent was required. The Committee of 1835 recommended that all the lines of railways should be subjected to some general control, as did also the Committee of 1841. A Committee, over which the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford presided, recom mended the interference of the Board of Trade in the matter of Parliamentary trains, and he would just quote a few figures to show the result of Parliamentary in terference. He found that the receipts of the one Parliamentary train per day were 1,055,7851., and of the other six or seven trains 5,035,000/. The average per mile for the Parliamentary train was 6s. 6d., for the other trains, ss. So much for the interference of Parliament, and he could only point to this fact, when he saw parties come to Parliament with Bills empowering them to increase their rates of toll. The interference which he proposed in this measure of his was certainly no greater than had been proposed in the clauses of at least 26 Bills introduced into Parlia ment in the sessions of 1846 and 1847. He thought that the time was now fairly come for Par liamentary interference. They had sanctioned 500 miles of railway at a cost of 15,000,0001., merely for the purpose of connecting point to point. The public were entirely in the power of railway com panies. The moment they entered a carriage the power of free agency ceased, and the train went just when, where, and at what'. rate the railway officials thought fit. He did not blame the administrators of railway affairs themselves for the existing evils, but was rather inclined to attribute the blame to the defective rate of the law. It was entirely en public grounds that he had been 'induced to propose the present measure, and he thought it would conduce greatly to the public advantage. The Hon. Gentleman alluded to several cases to show the obstructions and impediments to which the public were subjected on certain railways, both in respect of the time occupied in the journey and the fares which were charged and rated; he proposed to remedy the evils by requiring in the first place that passenger-trains and trucks should be stopped at junctions. He next proposed that trucks should be pro vided at junctions to meet corresponding trucks belonging to other companies. Such an arrangement he did not think would act prejudicially to the railway in terest, but he was willing to reconsider this part of the Bill if necessary. There were other propositions which he also intended to make, one of which was, that when a train arrived after its time at a junction, it should be forwarded at the expense of the company, who had been guilty of the irregularity. Another proposition was, that minerals arriving at a junction, should be forwarded if required, but the most important part of the Bill was the equal rating clause, which he believed had given rise to the opposition of the railway interest, but in reality . it was nearly similar in terms to that which had been in troduced into several railway Bills. He was astonished at that opposition, seeing that railway proprietors had • become peculiarly sensitive owing to the great depreci ation which their property had lately ,undergone, but he believed that by doing away with the obstructions and impediments of which he complained, and affording facilities for the conveyance of traffic from one line to another, every railway company throughout the country would be benefited. Mr. GLYN said the very objects which the Hon. Member (Mr. Ricardo) had in view would not be car ried out by the Bill brought in by him. He called on the House to pause before they passed a Bill of this kind without sufficient information bearing upon the question. He particularly objected to the first clause, which rendered it imperative on passenger trains to atop at all junctions. The express trains especially would be retarded by an arrangement of that kind. The Bill would also seriously interfere with the system of season tickets which had worked so benficially for the public, and with the practice of excursion trains , to which the railway compa n i es h a d g i ven f ac ili t i es with the view of promoting the comfort and recreation of friendly so •cieties and the humbler orders of the people. The Hon. Member further canvassed the details of this Bill, to which he was opposed, and characterised it as a piece of crude legislation which would only throw greater diffi culties in the wey of an interest which was already suffi ciently depressed.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. B. DENISON suggested that the Hon. Gentle man the Member for Stoke should withdraw the present Bill, and introduce one less subject to objection. He was, however, quite cer'ain that there was an absolute necessity of some general Parliamentary control over all railway directors. The Railway Commissioners had been mentioned, and he was sorry to say they were not very popular, but for no reason that he could see, as he was sure that they performed their duty in a most proper manner. Mr. AGLIONBY supported the Bill, because he thought it was calculated to afford extended accommo dation to the public. Though professing every defer ence for the position and experience of the Hon. Member for Kendal, he did not altogether go with him in all his remarks. He did not think that the Railway Commissioners had sufficient control, and he should certainly vote for any measure which extended their influence. Ile was sure that the public would have the same opinion, especially if they considered the many instances of gross mismanagement which they read of in the papers. lie should certainly give his cordial sup port to the Bill, and he had not the slightest objection to curtail the power of railway directors. Mr. V. SMITH obj'-cted to the Bill being' withdrawn in the hope of the matter being taken up by Government. There was no chance of Government ever being able to introduce a measure which should be acceptable to the public and railway directors. The Railway Board had never been very popular, and he was very much afraid . that if they waited till that body took up the subject they would have to wait till doomsday, The Hon. Memb , r . for Kendal's speech was all very well as far as it went, but it altogether avoided the principle of the Bill. Now, what was tiiat principle? Why, simply that it was ex pedient that better accommodation should be made for the public— not on one railway, but on all rail ways; and, to show that that was wanted, they need only refer to every-day experience. In his own neighbourhood, for instance, there was a junc tion of three .lines, but, from some unfortunate diffe rences which had arisen between the three companies, a party going from Northampton, either north or south, was detained at this junction two hours.—(Hear.) Mr. HENLEY had no connexion with any railway, but still he could not support this Bill, because the means proposed were not likely to accomplish the end in view. When they considered that 5,000 miles of railway had • bean called into existence within the last few years the marvel was not that there had been occasional stop 'Ages and inconveniences, but that the traffic on railways had been wor k ed so regularly. It was far better to leave the matter in the h an d s of railway managers tnernseives,than„by a bungling mode of legislation, give rise to evils which would be more irksome to the public than the delays and inconveniences which now occasion ,. ally took pl ace. • Sir 11. VERNEY obs'erhveeadr.)that many of those delays arose out of a break of gauge which years ago Parlia ment had refused to interfere with. He denied that railway directors were unmindful . of the public accom modation. It was for their interest to give the public the best possible accommodation, and this matter might therefore be safely left in their 1: Hear.) Mr. BANKES had no confidence in existing Rail `.way Board, and until that branch ' of the .proposed invests Bill public servi ce wa s remodelled he could not conserittto Govern menti with the extensive powers which h to establish. Nothing but trivial questionswerereferred to the consideration of the present Railway Board, did not ustify the large expendituresvhwichihcit h .certainly j involved, and until it was made a more uaeful and e ffi e i ent tribunal he mustyesolutely decline to increase their func tions. • M r , W WILLIAMS wished to know if the Hon. Gen ' tleman who had charge of the Bill was prepared tointro 'duce mightointro 'duce a clause which sh ould p revent any party who he connected with a railway management from carrying , coals and minerals over that railway with greater facilities and advantage than wai afforded to the ordinary trades. Mr. RICARDO was understood to reply in the affir , rnative. Mr. LABOUCHERE before the division was called wished to address a few words to the House on the sub• . jest of this Bill. And first he would apply his observa tions to the remarks of the Honourable Member for Dorset, who certainly appeared to him to have said more in support of the Bill than against it. He denied that the matters which came under the consideration of the , Railway Board were of a trival character; the functions of that body related to property of immense value, and so lung as the House thought such a board ought to exist, it was their duty to take care that the re muneration voted for its maintenance was sufficient to ensure the services of Commissioners whose station and peat conduct would afford a guarantee to the public that the motives which would actuate them in the dis charge of their duties would be beyond suspicion. Now, with regard to the Bill itself, it certainly was a most important measure, and although Government mightbe taunted for their silence upon the subj ect, he could assure the House that neither the Railway Commissioners nor the Board of Trade had been unmindful of the public interest. The functions of the Railway Board necessarily made it unpopular, and the reason that he had not undertaken to introduce a Bill of . this nature was simply that he was afraid it would have thrown still greater difficulties in the w a y o f , that board, while he h a d f e lt th a t the House would not be too ready to appreciate the disinterested spirit which might have dictated its provisions. Those were necessarily unpopular functions in that House. There was never a more deserving public func tionary than his friend (Mr, Strut°, who had boon ono THE SUN, of the Railway Commmissioners, and yet there was never a more unfortunate public servant than he was.— (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Labouchere) was unwilling in the present state of the public feeling to throw another element of discord before the country with reference to railway questions. He despaired of carrying this or any other kindred measure through the House unless there bad been a previous inquiry by a Committee up-stairs. He (Mr. Labouchere) would therefore join in the suggestion that the Hon. Member fur Stoke-upon-Trent should with draw his Bill, though he thought the objects of the Bill were well worthy the consideration of the House.— (" Divide, divide.") Mr. GLADSTONE said the Right Hon. Gentleman had addressed the House with his usual frankness; but he (Mr. Gladstone) could have wished that the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated more clearly what his in tentions were with respect to the Bill before the House. The Right Hon. Gentleman had characterised Mr. Laing as a law clerk, with a few hundreds a year; but when he used that expression he must have forgotten how much more successful that "law clerk with a few hundreds a year" was, in his humble department, than the magnificent establishment of which he was a subordinate member.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Glad stone) thought the House would be wasting its time in passing the second reading of this Bill. He was quite certain that at present a scheme like this would meet with insuperable difficulties. The time might come when the public would be roused by suffering an . immense amount of inconvenience, when it would be necessary for some great measure of the kind, when Parliament, as the agent of the :public, would have to take the railways into their own hands, and make arrangements for them as it thought fit. He need only refer to the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down to show that the time was not yet come for that measure. After a few words of explanation from Mr. LABOU CHERE, who concurred in the eulogium on Mr. Laing. Mr. RICARDO replied, and the second reading of the Bill was negatived without a division. BENEFICES IN PLURALITY BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Mr. HUME thought the time was come for putting an end to pluralities altogether. He intended to take the sense of the House, and for this purpose had framed an amendment which he thought would have that effect. He thought that this system of pluralities was disgraceful to the Church. ' Mr. LAW said that, as her Majesty's Ministers would probably like to hear what was said on this great subject, and there was not one of them present, he should move that the Chairman do report progress, and ask for leave to sit again.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. AGLIONBY thought that such a course would be' scarcely fair usage to the Hon. Gentleman who had charge of the Bill. He did not see that it was ne cessary for her Majesty's Ministers to be present at the discussion. Mr. FREWEN was indisposed to agree to the pro position of the Hon. and Learned Recorder. He had already postponed the Bill for a month at the request of the Government. Colonel SIBTHORP thought it would be as well to inquire where the Ministers were. There was a full House of Members, who were not paid, and yet the Ministers, who were paid one and all, had all trooped over no one knew where. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY explained that the Secretary of State had left word with him to dispatch a messenger for him when the debate came on on this Bill, and he had already done so. Mr. HUME thought it was an imputation on the House to say that they could not get on without the Mi nisters. It was treating them like babies. Mr. H. DRUMMOND thought that if the House was not competent to decide on the matter without the Mi nisters, neither could it on any other, and the House ought to adjourn. Mr. MANGLES rose amid loud cries of " Divide," when Sir G. Grey entered, and was greeted with min gled cheers and laughter. Mr. LAW said he was sensible of the importance of the Right Hon. Baronet's presence, and he should with draw his motion. Mr. HUME explained to the Right Hon. Baronet the nature of the amendment which he had proposed. Sir G. GREY, after having had some difficulty in finding the clauses in the Bill, during which Mr. Hume stood on his legs throwing an appealing glance to the House, begged to dissent from the Honourable Gentle man's amendment, because he thought that there were many livings of such'small value that no man could hold them singly. The Honourable Member's object could not be effected until some consolidation Act had been passed. Mr. HUME said that that was exactly his object. Mr. AGLIONBY supported the amendment because he thought it was high time that something was done towards the consolidation of small, and the partition of large livings. GLADSTONE saw but one objection to this amendment, but that objection was conclusive against it. He very much feared that if this amendment were carried many parishes with small revenues would go without incnmbents, for in England there was no provi sion made as in Scotland for increasing the income ot the incumbents of poor livings. Therefore, until some plan of consolidation had been adopted, it was highly inexpedient to adopt an amendment of this sort. Besides, the amendment of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Wiltshire would •irtually get rid of pluralities altogether, unless the yearly value of the con tiguous benefice was under 1001. a year. Reserving that case ot exception, he was prepared to abolish plura lities altogether.—(Hear hear.) After a few words from Mr. JOHN EVANS, Mr. HUME reminded the Committee that, if they passed this amendment, the poor livings would be assisted by the same bounty that sent a bishop to Hong-Kong, where there were scarcely twenty parishioners to attend to. Let those who objected to his amendment, on grounds stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Mem her for the University, insert a clause in the Bill, placing these pour livings at his disposal—(A laugh)—and he would undertake not only to find incumbents, but in comes for them.—( A laugh.) Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT urged the Committee to rejeot the amendment in favour of his own, which would accomplish the end the Hon. Member for Montrose bad in view. Sir G. GREY thought it nothing but right that poor contiguous livings with small populations should be united, and if he was not mistaken that course bad at ready been recommended by the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners. Lord J. MANNERS objected to the Church funds being placed at the disposal of the Hon. Mwmber Montrose. Mr. HUME—I did not ask you to do it. Lord J. MANNERS had so understood the Hon. Member; but he was glad that he was mistaken. Much of the poverty of the small livings, to which reference had been so often made, was attributable to the misap plication of the parish funds. He announced his inten tion to oppose the amendment, though he approved of the spirit in which it had been brought forward. Mr. HUME said, all he wanted the Committee to do was to affirm ti - e principle that pluralities were wrung. Mr. NORMAN obierved that the Bill as it stood legalised pluralities and justified the system of non-resi dence. Now he was altogether opposed to that, and as the amendment was likely to lead to the adoption of the principle of consolidation, he should give it his cordial support. Mr. E. DENISON said there ware some parishes which had no churches, and the only way in which the population could be served was to unite them with other parishes; therefore, if the amendment of the Hon. Mem ber passed, the object of the Bill would be defeated. Mr. PETO said there were as many as thirty-five parishes in Norwich, the place which he represented, some f which were not worth more than 30/. or 504 per annum, and if in some instances a plurality of livings was not allowed, the parishioners would be unprovidod with church accommodation. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the original motion ... 166 For the amendment ... 53 Majority ... ... ... —ll3 Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT moved in clause 1, page 2, line 1, after the words "each other and," to omit all the words to the end of the clause, and to substitute these words, unless the yearly value of one of such con tiguous benefices shall be less than one hundred pounds." Mr. CHRISTOPHER said he would have a resident clergyman in every parish, but he did not think that the Bill as it at present stood would accomplish that object. There were many small parishes in the county which he represented possessing not more than 50 or 60 inhab . - tants, and if they were not consolidated with larger bene fices the effect would be that the parishioners would be without clerical supervision. Mr. lIUME deeply deplored the vote which the House had just given, and was surprised that 166 Mem bers should have affirmed the principle of haying noL resident clergymen. Sir G. GREY observed that the object of the Bill was to prevent two or more benefices being held together except under circumstances where they might be practi cally considered as forming one benefice, and he should give the amendment of the Right Hon. Gentleman his support, because he thought it was calculated to carry out that principle. Colonel THOMPSON said he should vote for the whiaarcdmients, because h e th oug ht it p re f era bl e to t h e one Mon'turosner been proposed by the Hon. Member for After a few words from Mr. FREWEN, Mr. GLADSTONE said there was an evil in plura lities themselves, and he would not adm,t the princip.e of them unless upon an absolute necessity. Tbst being so, he would support the amendment. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ▪ 162 Against it Majority for th e amendment • 16 146 The clause was then agre e d to as amended. The remaining clausf s were agreed to, with the x ception of clause 6, which was omitted, and the House res Urn ed. The other orders of thedaiyx ,c were then en disposed o f, and the House adjourned at s GREENOCIC..--DARING AND SUCCESSFUL INTRE rumm—We have to record an accident of a most alarming character, but from which happily no serious consequecce resulted. On the morning of Friday se'nnight, which, it will be recollected, was stormy, a small boat, taking men off to her Majesty's steamer Greenock, at present lying at the Tail of the Bank, was suddenly caught in a squall when alongside the ship, and upset, precipitating sixteen men into the river, and placing them in the most imminent peril. Captain James Brown, the officer in command of the ship, having heard a violent screaming from his berth, leaped an dressed having g rcugh a port in his cabin into a boat the saili,re were in the act of lowering, and by his energy, .we are happy to say, all hands were rescued from a watery grave , he him selfwith his own hands pulled five men into the best.--Ediaurgle Courant. ;IST OP SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES Dividead Amount Name of Company. per of Paid.

(From the Return of the Registrar-General.) The return of the week ending last Saturday an nounces a continued decrease in the mort a lit y o f Lon don. Since the third week of March, when it rose, the weekly mortality has constantly fallen, as is shown by the following numbers:—the deaths were 1,167, 1,124, 893, 866, and in last week only 803. This last number is less than in any correspond ing week during the ten years 1840-9, except that of 1842; and the average of the ten weeks being 909, or corrected for increase of population, 992, there now appears a d ol e a c s r s e e a s s e of on d i i t s ,amounting to e lse exhibit n o l w B9. a A d l e l e t r h e e lm p a sao (r important at the average in the deaths assigned to them. From small pox there were 7 deaths, or about half the average ; from measles 17, from scarlatina 21, from hooping-cough 35, and from typhus 25, which diseases are all less fatal than usual; croup was fatal to 5 persons, influenza to 4, purpura to 2, dilution to 11, and erysipelas to 9, all near the ordinary , amount. On the 19th of April, at 11, Wycombe place, Kent-road, a carman, aged 40 p are, died 01 " disease of the kidneys ; English cholera ; the latter complaint of nine hours' duration." Again, amongst diseases whi c h a ff ect t h e respiratory organs, bronchitis carried off 46 persons, rather more than the average of ten corresponding weeks, but less than that of the last th ree (i n t h e years 1847-9); pneumonia, or inflammation of the lungs, about the same number, considerably l ess th an t h e average. Only 6 persons died of asthma, and 110 o f consumr- Lion, the corrected average being 158. A child died of laryngismus stridulus, two children and a man of laryngitis.

Seven boys and 8 girls died after premature birth. Three childrro were suffocated accidentally in bed. Two cases of, intoxication are thus recorded:—" A chimney sweep, of 45 y( ars, 1% as killed by fracture of the vertebrae of the neck from a fall while intoxicated (post. mort.), having lived eight hours after the accidtmt." The widow of a tailor, aged 66, was found in a ditch in a state of derangement and intoxication, was removed to the police-station, and afterwards to the workhouse, where she died from congestion and effusion on the brain." Inquests were held on both cases. The classification of deaths in public institutions shows that 86 occurred in workhouses and 64 in hospitals; and of the latter, that 39 took place in general hospitals, 5 in lunatic asylums, 7 at the Royal Hospital, Greenwich, and 4 in other mili tary and naval establishments. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the daily mean reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on Saturday; the mean of the week was 20.863. The mean tempera ture of the week was 46.8 deg., which is less by 2.4 deg., than the average of the same week in 7 years. Toe mean temperature was, on Sunday, 3 deg. above the average of the same day, and on each of the other six days was below it. On every day but Thursday the wind generally blew from the north or north-east. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1850.

DUMFORD V. FORD AND ANOTHER. (Continued tromour Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Hi; LORDSHIP having sunamid up, The jury tuund a verdict fur the plaintiff for 71. over and above the amount paid into Court_ LEWIS v. KNoX. This was an action to reccver the amount of an at • torney's bill fur professional services rendered, and money expended on account of the defendant. The de fendant ph ailed thut be did not promise. Mr. Humfrey (with Mr. Temple) conducted the case for the plaintiff; and Mr. M. Chambers (with iilr. H. A. Simon) api,esred for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant, who resided at Cam berwell, in the spring of the past year intending to bring an action against the sheriff of Middl,s,st for the alleged improper conduct of one ut his officers, named Shannon, had consulad one John Lewis upon the sub ject, by whom he was eventually introduced to his brother Charles, the present plaint:ff. Having heard the nature t f the cause of the dere, complaint against Shannon, he gave it as bis opinion that the de leadant had a good cause of action, and that opinion vas subsequently confirmed by the counsel to whom the case had been submitted. The action was "accordingly brought, and the venue having been laid in Surrey, the matter was to come on for trial at the last summer as sizes fur that county, at Croydon. The commission day at that place was the 6th of August. On the 31st of July preceding the plaintiff wrote to the defendant requesting that he would furnish him with a further sum of money to take the ease down to Croydon, and also expressing his disappointment that he should have sent hire only 101. The further sum required was 501. at least, which amount he begged might be sent to him by the following Saturday. On the Ist cf August it appeared that the deteudant had written in reply to this letter that it was out of his power to sup ply- any mote funds, and therefore he desired that the noace of trial should be countermanded, A consulta tion thereupon ensued between the parties, and the re cord was withdrawn. The question therefore arose as to what course should be taken, when it was arranged that the venue should be changed from Surrey to Mid dlesex, in order that the matter might be tried at West minster atter the next Michaelmas Term, as that would be a far cheaper mode of trying the cause than by taking it down to Kingston at the spring assizes. The record wit!' consequently withdrawn, and an appli cat i on was then made in due course in November, before a judge at chambers, for leave to change the venue. That learned person, however, refused the application. The defendant was accordingly informed that the case must therefore be taken down to Kingston fur trial at the spring assizes. In the cross-examination of one of the witnesses he stated that the expense of taking this cause for trial at the assizes would be from 301. to 501., whilst the expenses would not have been more than about 251. had it been tried in London, and that that had been one reason wby the plaintiff had recommended that the venue should be changed to Middlesex, rather than incur the additional expense of taking the cause a second time into Surrey. There were higher fees given to counsel at the assizes than in London, and it was also much more expsnsive in respect of witnesses. Mr. CHAMBERS, on the part of the defendant, con tended that the plaintiff was bound, having undertaken the trial of the cause, to show by evidence that he ha I carried out the spirit and intention of that undertaking. Here, however, it had been proved that he had nct carried out the undertaking, nor had there been any prod offered that the notice which the plaintiff hod given to the defendant, that he must have the large sum be had demanded ready by the following c'tafurday, was a reason able notice in respect of time tor a,_nrata in the circum stances of the defendant. He should'submit that, having undertaken the trial of the cause, the'plaintiff was bound to carry it to trial, and that not doing so, the defendant could not be called upon, or be held liable for expenses, unless the plaintiff were to show that the notice he had given fjr the advance of money towards the expenses, and also that if the money required were not sent in due time, then that he should decline to proceed with the cause—unless the defendant showed that that notice had been given a reasonable time beforehand. In support of his argument, the Learned Counsel cited the cases of " Holey v. Built," 3 Barn. and Ald., p. 350; and of " Nicholls v. Wilson," 11 Mee and Wel., p. 106. Now his case on behalf of the defendant was that the matter might have been tried at Croy don if due notice had been given by the plaintiff to the def-•ndsnt that a certain ismount of funds would be required by a given day, and that, at all events, it was the duty of the plaintiff to have taken the cause down for trial. Mr. Baron ALDERSON wai of opinion that, at all events, the preliminary expenses prior to the not taking the cause down for trial ought to be taken out of the account. Thetis what should be done by the Master on taxa' ion. Mr. CHAMBEBS—And then, if the jury were to find that there had not been reasonable notice given in point cf time, that he should move the Court upon that point. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Certainly ; and the only question now for the jury to deal with was whether, looking at the circumstances of the defendant, the plain tiff had given him a reasonable and timely notice to raise the required amount of money for the expe uses. Lis own opinion was, that if he did nut give a reason able length of notice, then that the plaintiff must bear all the consequences, and a verdict ought to be found for the defendant in respect of that part of the bill which was rendered unnecessary by the not going to triul at Croydon. The jury consulted for a few minutes, and then gave a verdict for the defendant, upon the ground that the notice had not been sufficient to enable a man in his cir cumstances to get so large a sum together. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—That would then be a verditt for the plaintiff, subject to the taxation of the Master, who must strike out all the items in the bill which ;were not necessary in consequence of the want of sufficient notice to the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Matthias Martinez Delrio, a Spaniard, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Inspector Brannon, of the G division of the metropolitan police, charged with having stolen two Bank of England notes, the one for 501. the other for 301., ri,nd between four and five ounces of gold dust, value 100/, the property of Mr. Strutt, purser in the Royal Mail Steam-packet Com pany's service. The prisoner refused to give his address. Mr. M. H. Strutt, of Gunnersb ur Y-pl ace , B ren tf or d, said—The prisoner embarked on board the Avon, mail steamer, of which I was purser, at Vera Cruz on the 19th of March, for the purpose of coming to England. On the 21st of April we arrived at Southampton, and the "day after our arrival there I missed a Bank of England note for 501., another for 301., and a quantity of gold dust. About five days before we arrived at South ampton, I left my keys in the door of my cabin while I went to wash my hands, and on my return 1 missed the keys, one of which opened my desk. I saw the pri soner near the door, and I asked him whether he saw my keys, to which he replied in the negative; but the circumstance did not particularly excite my suspicion, as my servant had a duplicate key, and I attributed the disappearance of the key to a joke that had been played upon me. In the evening of that dry one of the passengers and the surgeon invited me to their cabin to take a glass of wine with them and the pri soner, and while we were . sitting together, engaged in that way, the prisoner complained of a pain in his stomach, and was obliged to leave us. When he was absent about, as I think, half an hour, I went to my cabin in order to retire to bed, and I then found my keys I)ing on the desk, although I had in vain looked for them all about the place, and searched it thoroughly Lelbre. I therefor e, on missing my property at South ampton, the day after our arrival there, came to London and applied to the inspeotor, and stopped the notes at the Bank. Inspector Brannon, it appeared, apprehended the pri soner in Finsbury-square, and found upon his person a new gold watch and chain and ring, which be bad re cently purchased at the shop of a jeweller, in Cornhill. The stolen 501. note had been changed at the Bank. The prisoner was remanded. He persisted in refusing to give his address. DERBY HUMBUDEL—Sir PETER LAURIE stated that he had received communications on the subject. of an Anglo- American system of swindling, against which he felt bound to endetivour to protect the public by means of the press. Two American papers had been transmitted t.) him, and his attention had been called to advertisements, by which it appeared that " a splendid fortune might be gained by an outlay of 101. or 51." In the Montreal Pilot the promise of wealth presented itself under the bead of "Metropolitan Portrait Club," and seemed to issue from the Albany-road, London. The advertisement announced that the directors, who have no names, would draw for a grand series of portraits of all the horses entered for the forthcoming Derby race; that the drawing would be conducted upon those honourable principles which had hitherto given so much satisfaction, and secured to the abuse association such extensive patronage. Then fol lowed the list of prix Js upon the drawing of the horse portraits, and the information that all letters were to contain a remittance, dra!ts, hank-uotes, &c., and to be directed to the manag,ing director in London. The other American parer (the Sunday Courier of New York) contained an advertisement referring to a similar este blishm eut in Plymouth. 'The LORD MAYOR approved of the notice taken by Sir Peter Laurie of a plan the great promises in which were likely to fascinate credulous parties on the other side of the Atlantic. Sir PETER LAURIE said the attempt to reinvigorate the Dec by se eeps, which were so completely put down in London by the City magistrates, was nothing less than could be expected; but the system he came forward to expose was one for which there could not be the slightest pretence in the chance of gaining anything. No doubt credulity was doing a great deal for the specula tors, for the postman who traversed the district in which . the " managing director" resided stated that 'he had de livered a good many letters directed from America to the party named in the advertisement. The LORD MAYOR said he had received several letters from tradesmen in different parts of the country, en closing printed circulars directed to them from the Albany-road, London. Those circulars stated that the writers had always in hand immense amounts at the service of their correspondents, and that they were ready to turn good bills into ready money immediately after transmission, as well as to get the best prices for parcels of goods. Men of experience would, acourse, detect at once the swindle in the precious composition he alluded to; but there was no disguising the tact, that in many instance* goods and bills had been obtained through their tnstrusnentality; and not only great distress, but ruin, had Ls en the cons« quence. One of the circulars alluded to by the Lord Mayor was as follows: it was addressed to a tradesman at Ludlow, who &Oared that he bad carried on business for fifty years in that place, and never had borrowed, or attempted to borrow, of any person during that •' Sir,—We beg leave to inform you that your letter has begin handed to us in confidence by the gentleman you wrote to a short time ago, who had a considerable sum of money to lend, but who has for the present dis posed of the whole in Exchequer bills, Bank-stock, and India-bonds; from the very respectable manner in which your name was hinted to us by him we should have no objection to semi you the amount you request in bills of exchange, it they will answer your puipuse. If you decide upon this method, in making a remittance for our commission at any time, please to send only half Bank of Eogiand notes, or ceu❑try ore-s payable in London in the first instance, and the other halves when you receive the bills of exchange, as also a copy of the undertaking. %en/ n you will be remitted such bills us will not fail of meeting your approval." Ills LORDSHIP expressed an earnest hope that Sir Peter Laurie's and hts own object in making these mat ters public would have the desired effect throughout the country. ALAI?LBOROUGH•BTREET. AN ARTFUL TRICK.— Ay, ad Hall, a lad about 15 years of age, wa• charged with iwposing,upon the bene volent by pretemling to be climb. Colley, one of the Mendacity constables, stated that on the previous atterrioon, he was in Carnaby-street, when his attention was called to the prisoner, who had a label tied roundt his neck on which was written, Poor dumb boy, got no tongue." Knowing him to he a confirmed begear, he watched him, and saw him receive several pence from ladies and gentlemen whom he importuned for money. The prisoner then entered a public-house followed by witness, who saw him beg of the cus tomers in front of the bar, at the same time making motions with his hands to siguity that he had lost his tongue and could not speak. After watching him for some time, he asked the land lord to lend him a spoon, arid having got hold of the prisoner witness thrust the fiat part of the spoon down the prisoner's throat which Lad the effect of causing him to protrude his tongue, toes exposing the imposition. The t•risoner, however, still pretended to be dumb, and witness, to satisfy himself that he really was so, took him to a surgeon's opposite, who .applied something to the end of his (prisoner's) tongue, which caused him to call out in good plain gitglish, that he could speak. Wit ness then took him to the station-house. Several gelid , men came forward and stated to the magistrate that the prisoner, though so young, had been for some years driving a profitable trade by pretending to be dumb. They themselves had relieved him on many occasions, and thought it the case was made public through the medium of the press, it would put the bene volent public on their guard against sunk imposters. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, admitted that he had imposed upon the public, but he had done so in consequence of extreme poverty, and his antipathy to turn to thieving for a living. Mr. BINGIIAM—I think your way of getting a living equally as bad as thieving. Who put you up to such a mode of imposing on the public ? Prisoner—No one. I was once told that if the string under my tongue was cut I could swallow it so as not to be seen. This made me think of working the " dumb-dodge." The MAGISTRATE said the prisoner was one of the most artful toys he had ever mt t with, and committed him fur a month with haid labour. CLERKEIV WELL. William Crump, a journey man bricklayer, wai placed at the bar before Mr. Combs, charged with having committed a violent assault upon William Chambers, a sheriff's officer, while in the ex , cution of his duty. It appeared from the evidence that a process was is sued trona the Court of Common Pieas against Mr. Peake, a master builder in the City road, for a debt of 163/. The prosecutor proceeded, with other officers, with his warrant to make a capture at a house which was building in Hall-street, City-road. The witness went up a lad& r and got on a scaffolding, where he saw Mr. Pcake, whose person he was acquainted with, to whom he called that he was wanted. The prisoner said, "My name is Peake." Witness replied, "You are not, that is Mr. Polka." The prisoner called him a liar, seized him, and struck him a violent blow, and attempted to throw him off the scaffolding, which was three story high. They struggled together, and had not witness caught hold of ore of the scaffold-poles to save himself, be must have been precipitated to the ground below and lost his life. During this period Mr. Peake escaped from the scaffolding, but he was captured by witness's assistant who was below, and taken to White cross-street prison. The proscCutor's assistant proved that the prisoner threatened to break their necks, and threw boards at them. He also threatened to cut them down with a shovel. lie confirmed the evidence. The prisoner denied the charge. ?dr. CONDE lined him M., or two months' impri sonment. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. DIVIDENDS. In the Country. J.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCRESTER, TUESDAY.—The Europa's advice', showing the deficiency in the receipts of cotton at the American ports to be upwards cf 500,000 tales, have had much the same kind of effect on our market, to-day, as previous accounts, pointing to the same result, have of late produced. Vith the raw material still rising on their hands, the spinners have again raised their quut.4.- dons; and the manufacturers have followed in the same course, at least as regards those cloths which are most in request. In this more, the latter class of producers have scarcely had any further success than that of being enabled to obtain, for some articlee, those full rates which could not be got a week ago. It is enly in some particular things that the improvement has amounted to more than what we have just stated ; while the entire business of the day has certainly been restricted within narrow limits. Some of the makers of domestics are doing rather more with the home dealers. The spinners have succeeded in their de mands rather better than the manufacturers. The impression that cotton is not at present likely to be lower, and may possibly rise somewhat higher, appears to have made a little progress amongst the German buyers, who, though still acting with great caution and making no large purchases, have operated more freely, as well as more generally to-day, than for some time back; paying, in almost every instance, such prices as they refused to give a f ew days back. In the various yarns which they purchase, prices are, prac tically, at least el per lb. higher than they were this day week. In some kinds the gain is rather more than that. The manufacturers also are pay ing about an equal advance for warps and weft; but they purchase very sparingly. The India houses are doing but little in yarne, as well as in goods. spinners and manufacturers feel most painfully that the pre s ent course of things is fraught with serious evils to them. If a rise in prices should now be made good, they see that the finished article is likely to be lett further than before in the rear of the raw material. RCCLIDALE, MONDAY.—We have had something hke an average market to-day, both in prices and number of pieces sold. The wool market is still heavy, and very little business doing. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Since our last report there have been a auy buyers of manufactured goods iu town, but the sales are r , -ported only to a limited ex tent. We might have expected larger operations at this season 4 f the year, particularly as it is generally under stood that stocks of siik goods in the wholesale houses ale comparatively light—the buyers are evidently pur chasing for immediate w ants, and we hope, ere long, to be enabled to report a more active demand. The throw ing trade continues iu the saute quiet state it has dote for the last few weeks, but the mills are still working full time. In the raw silk market prices remain as bef Ore. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have been compara tively slack in the mat ket to-day—very little has been brought into the hall. The warehouses have also been dull; buyers being very shy except at reduced prices. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no noticeable change in the condition of the worsted trade. The principal inquiry is for lastings, which are very difficult to be obtained. In yarn there is a steady business, without any alteration in price. There is not much doing in wool, and the quotations remain as they were. LEkDS. TUESDAY.—We have had a fair average busi ness to-day and on Saturday; also considerable deli veries bave been made direct to the warehousel. Stocks are low, and prices without alteration. Tf4e shipping houses continue busy; but there is not quite so much doing for the home trade, the very cold w eather we ex perience at present having a tendency t , ) check the sale of light summer goods. LAW INTELLIGENCE. BAIL COURT, May 1. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) THB QUEEN V. THE PUBLISHER OF THE " MORNING HERALD." Mr. Sergeant SHEE was instructed to move for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. Chapman, the printer and publisher of the Adorning Herald newspaper, for a libel published in that paper. He moved on the affidavit of the Rev. An thony Magee, D.D., who stated that he was the clergy man or priest of tbe Roman Catholic chapel in the city of Westminster, and that in the month of December, 1349, he contracted to purchase of and from the Right lion. Lord Cottenham and others, the trustees of the Law Life Assurance Society, certain lands situate in the ccunty of Galway, containing 3,000 acres, being part of very large and extensive estates known by the name of the " Great Martin Estate," in Connemara, but that no conveyance thereof, or of any part thereof, Lad yet been made to thi s d e p onen t, nor Lath he yet bed possession of the said lands so purchased by him. He then said that in the Morning Herald of the 25th of April there appeared of and concerning him, and of the estate he had purchased, the following paragraph "IRELAND. "(From our own Correspondent.) " THE GREAT MARTIN ESTATE. would appear by the following letter from the Mayo Conciliation that the vast region known a. the Martin Estate, in Connemara, is about to be made the scene of a sweeping ejector a nt Cefden, April 18, 1850. "'I regret to tell you that the parties interested in the far-famed Martin Estate have obtained no less a number than 650 ejectment decrees against the unfortunate te nantry of the late Thomas Martin, Esq. By this means 3,000 or 4,000 people will be thrown upon the world. It is fearful to contemplate such a state of things in a Christian country. Surely, with our poor-houses over flowing with wretched inanates, we shall doubly feel this terrible addition to eur misery. How will they be supportel?—where could the means be had? Still, the old saying holds, 'lt is an ill wind blows nobody good.' The assistant-barrister's fees on these ejectments (ruled in a few hours) amounted to nearly 400/., and the attor ney's fees I,OOOL, making together a sum of over 1,400/. It has caused a sensation here that we cannot describe. " We (Mayo G'onsiitution)confess that we have heard this statement with astonishment. We wish it were exaggerated; but from the respectability of our informant we cannot for a moment doubt it. And still it is hard to believe that in a season like this, at the end of a famine, when such exertions are making to crop the land as never, in our memory, were made before, that 4,000 hu man beings should be thrown upon the rates. We can solve this matter but one way—namely, that the quasi owners of this property—the English mortgagees— having brought the estate to the hammer, anu finding that it did not bring remunerating prices, have adopted tbe fearful experiment of clearing the country of its in ' habitants; and never was so short sighted a policy prac tised —never was so blind an attempt made to obtain higher prices. There can be but one opinion of moun tain lands, that they are only really profitable in the hands of a tenantry; and we may ask with our corres pondent, who will support this mass of pauperism— where will the furds be had ? We envy not the feelings of men who could cast 4,000 people together houseless on the world. Thank God, the doers of the deed are not Irishmen.' " The purchaser cf this property is the Rev. Mr. Magee, Roman Catholic clergyman, resident at West miuster. His reverence says he is compelled to eject the vast majority of the tenantry, but he mi ans to re store all who are deserving—all, in short, who have a reasonable chance of paying their rents." The last paragraph consisted of the comments of the Morning Herald upon the letter.
