IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COIIIMONS, June 13. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Several petitions were presented against this Bill from the metropolitan boroughs. The adjourned debate on the motion for going into Committee on this Bill was resumed. Mr. W. WILLIAMS complained that the object of Hon. Gentlemen opposed to this Bill was to defeat it by procrastination. Mr. ROEBUCK thought the whole was nothing better than so much waste paper. He proceeded to canvass the provisions of the Bill, with a view of showing that it was impossible to carry such a Bill into execution. Ho thought there was not the slightest necessity for a Bill, and he appealed to the House whether, if there were any necessity, this Bill was one which would supply the deficiency. Mr. SPOONER urged the Hon. Member for Lambeth to withdraw the BilL He himself was favourable to the principle, but there were many provisions in it which were highly objectionable. Sir W. CL AY supported the Bill; because he felt con fident that it was the expression of opinion of some of the best persons in the metropolitan districts, and that it would tend materially to rake the condition of the working classes. Mr. W. J. FOX said that his objection to the Bill was that it had no principle whatever. It was not formed on the Sabbatical principle, the object of which would have been to prevent all manner of work and not trade merely, and on the other hand it only aimed at se curing a day of rest for the shopkeeper and apple-stall keepers. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR supported the prin ciple of the Bill, but recommended that it should be withdrawn for the present year. Sir G. GREY did not see any prospect of attaining the object which was sought, the restriction of Sunday labour, by going into Committee on the Bill; and he therefore hoped the Hon. Member would withdraw the Bill, which, even if passed, would lead to many evils, and would leave many items of Sunday trading un touched. He believed it might be left to the good sense of the people to remedy the evils which were com plained of, and to make Sunday a real day of rest. Sir BENJAMIN HALL supported the sugges tion for the withdrawal of the Bill. He objected to the system of legislating merely for the metropolitan districts, of which this was a sample. A Bill of this sort ought either to be a general one, or else framed so as to apply to the particular district from which it had emanated. He should recommend the withdrawal of the Bill for this session, in order for its introduction next year in the shape of a private Bill, in order to test the sincerity of the promoters of the Bill. Mr. C. HINDLEY was opposed to the withdrawal of the Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he had been opposed to this kind of contemptible legislation from the days of Sir Andrew Agnew up to the present time, and he denied that the working classes were favourable to the Bill. He was sorry to hear th at Lambeth, that great archiepis copal district, was such a sinful place—(Laughter)— but he advi se d the Hon. Member to confine his legisla tion to that borough. As to the withdrawing of the Bill, i t was a farce that had been acted every session for some time, and so it would be again until Govern ment took up the question. After a few words from Mr. TRELAWNY and Mr &coca, The House divided, when there appeared— For going into Committee ... Against it .•• ••• "• 77 Majority against going into Committee —35 LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. ... 42 On the motion for going into Committee on this Bili, Mr. MULLINGS explained the object of the Bill, :which was to place farmers on the same footing as tenants in trade, and to give them the power to remove any buildings which interfered with the carrying on of their business, unless they recioved compensation for allowing them to remain . Sir G. STRICKLAND strongly opposed the 4th clause of the Bill, because he thought it was better to send matters of this sort to be arranged between the land lord and tenant themselves. After a short discussion the House went into Com mittee on the Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. Clause I was agreed to. Clause 2 was negatived without a division. Oa clause 3. Mr. GRAINGER objected to the clauso as giving landlords an advantage over other creditors. After a short discussion the House divided, when there appeared— For the clause ...

PECHELL, moved for a return of all vessels that have 13 , en purchased for the royal navy since the 10:h day of May, 1847 (the date of the last return), stating from %Thorn purchased, the price paid, and the tonnage of each; distinguishing the slave vessels (and by whom captured) that have been taken into the service under the provisions of the Act 2 and 3 Vic., c. 73, for which the sum of 6,500/. has been voted in the estimates.—Agreed to. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Six o'clock. - - MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK.

THE COUNT DE BOCARIVIE. A letter from Mona says:--,, The Count de Bacarrne h as a ppealed to the Court of Ce ssat i on against h i s sen tence. The Countess, on returning to th e prison, had a violent nervous attack. Her children were pa about pre sence brought c t e w e t e n o d ,: l d o e t k o restore brought to her, tahned prisontheir her.. She left morning, and went to the house of M. Ilarmignies, one of her counsel. A report is current that she is about to set off for Germany. M. de Bo mini sent on Sunday for the cure of Mons, who imme diately went to him. His counsel, for whom he testifies the warmest gratitude, has never left him since his con , deranation." Another letter, 15th, says:—" The calm : with which M. de Bocarm‘ heard the sentence of death did - kni4 cease for a moment during the night. - On returning to his cell the Count threw himself on his knees, and remained some time i n prayer.:„His first words on receiving the visit of his o counsel aoare, ' At least my w if e is acquitted, and sh e ,fl ;f't will - A bl e to take care of her children.' to The s ," ::., ggid o fharged to watch over him said -„-.9,,,never saw such eourame as his. I am . 2: eithere to prevent him from 'killing himself, but - N 'May ithout fear give him a loaded pistol or ni cotine, as he does not think of suicide.' During the whole of the trial M. do Bocarmli prayed, for some time, on returning from the court. Madame de Bocarme appears perfectly indifferent to the fate of her husband; it is, however, reported that she intends to go to Brus sels to demand his pardon of the King. In the course of the day de Bocarme demanded to be allowed to see her, tad the Procureur du Roi gave petroiagion, but she refused. ~ 1 ~~ ~„~~' p THE SUN, LONDON, She attended mass in the prison chapel before leaving. One of her advocates says that ho does not know what she means to do, but he supposes that she intends to retire to a convent to pass the rest of her days in prayer, and to attend to the education of her children. Complaints are made of the undignified and unfeeling manner in which the President of the Court of Assizes acted in the last sitting. General dissatisfaction is felt at the acquittal of Mme. do Bocarme. No sympathy is expressed for hor on account of the want of feeling she displayed through out the trial. It is thought by many legal gentlemen that the technical objections taken will be held to be good by the Court of Cessation, and that, consequently, there will have to be a new trial. A grand fête is now taking place in the town, and Mme. de Bocarme on leaving the prison encountered what is called the pro cession of Sainte Waudru. De Bocarme has expressed the wish that his château shall be rased to the ground, and that the site on which it stands shall be ploughed up. His family has consented to do this." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—A further falling-off in the receipts of cotton at the American ports, with a conse quent steadying of prices at New York, has imparted some additional strength to the Liverpool market, where the quotations are about ed. per lb. higher than they were on Friday last. These circumstances have in creased the disposition to raise their terms, which a grow ing demand was previously originating amongst spin ners and manufacturers. Yarns may be taken to have advanced fully -id. per lb. since this day week, the gain being most marked in warps, which are in request both for exportation and for home manufacture. The Ger mans are cautiously increasing their purchases. As the Indian markets are suffering from a scarcity of money and an excess of imports, the merchants have been inactive to-day; yet there is some inquiry, on their part, for goods, and still more for some kinds of yarns. The Levant and some other buyers are doing more in T cloths and long cloths, and better prices by lid. to 3d. per piece are now commanded. In goods generally there is an upward bias, and an exten sion of business on the whole, though not in the same degree as in yarns. The upward movement in Liverpool is regarded by many with great distrust. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had, as might be expected, a dull market after Whitsun-week. Fewer pieces have been offered for sale, and there has been a more limited number of buyers in the market. There is little or no change in the wool market, and prices are firmly maintained, notwithstanding the new clip. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We are under the neces sity of reporting a similar state of things to that of our last, as regards the demand for manufactured goods; the general slackness now so long prevalent not having abated. Thrown Silk—We are unable to mention any increase of business ; prices, are, however, stationary, at a lower level than has been the case for some years past. Production in this branch continues greatly in abeyance. flaw Silk—Not much doing. The recent purchases at Liver pool, though insignificant, have been sufficient for pro sent and immediate requirements. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The trade in our Piece Hall has not been very animated to-day; but there has been a somewhat improved demand for fancy goods, princi pally for the South American market. We have no material change to report in yarn; there is a fair amount of business doing, but the prices aro unremunerative. The transactions in wool are not extensive, and the quo tations have undergone no alteration. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had a flat mar ket again to-day, and less sales have been effected. The shipping houses are generally quiet, and have been so during the week. Goods for the home trade are not much in request. When the first half of the year gets turned, it is generally expected wo shall have a pretty brisk season, at present being what is called " between the seasons."

The invasion was wholly unprovoked, and ra their discomfiture is likely to have an important bear ing on the decline of the slave trade :- 1 " Abbeokuta, Tuesday, March 4, 1851. " I hasten to write a few lines to forward to Badagry, with a hope that it may meet with a early opportunity for England. " Yesterday morning we received here your commu nications of 29th November, 1850, which proved most acceptable to us. It is with the greatest thankfulneess I % desire to comm un i cate t h e j oyful t i dings of the defeat % of the Dahoman King before the walls of Abbeokuta 04 yesterday, and that they have fled, according to our latest accounts, some sixteen miles, and that the Ab beokuta people are pursuing them. The motions of the Dahomans have been watched most thoroughly by the people of the smaller towns to the westward of this, and information sent to the chiefs here. On Saturday morning such intelligence was conveyed as convinced - the chiefs of the necessity of immediately arranging their affairs for self-defence. On Sunday the war chiefs formed their camps in three companies on the walls of the town. Price. It became evident to me on Sunday evening, from the preparations which I saw going on when returning from Mr. Smith's church, where I had been to assist him, and from their talk which I heard when passing, that a des perate encounter was before their minds, and that they were preparing for it with a spirit befitting the occa sion. Yesterday (Monday) I went out after breakfast 7 to view the camps from one of the heights. I did not direct my glass to search for the Dabomans, not know ing the road they might take, nor thinking of their being at hand. On returning home I heard that they had been seen, and that the advanced party of Egbas (the Abbeo '. kuta people) had exchanged shots with them. Mr. and Mrs. Smith came up to see us for a little change, hav ing been so long ill ; and Mr. Dennis, who came on a visit from Badagry, about a week since, also un well, was also with us. About twelve o'clock we heard a rapid discharge of firearms. I was in the act of showing my interpreter how to form a bullet -mould out of clay, in his house, when we heard it. With great impetuosity of manner he called for his son to bring him his gun, powder, and shot, that he might hasten to the fight; and with extreme difficulty I restrained him, he frequently exclaiming, ' I cannot bear it; I must hasten to the battle.' He was restrained, however. My cook, without saying anything, or our knowing of it, tcok his gun and ran off and fought until the Dabomans were retreating, and shot in the fight ono of the female warriors. Another confidential servant rau off in the same manner. Having no arms, he purposed stoning the enemy if they gave him an opportunity. Goodwill, who is Mr. Smith's interpreter, and was left by Mr. Smith to look after the promises, ran also to the battle; all seemed to be beside themselves. In order to view the encounter, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Townsend, Mr. Dennis, and myself got on a high rock on our ground, whence, with a telescope, we were enabled to view it. The Dabomans advanced in compact lines or masses, bearing all before them. The Egbas endeavoured to check them at the ford of the river, but were utterly unable. They therefore re treated until withinside their walls. The walls were black with people. They poured forth their fire upon the advancing enemy, who were checked, and could not march straight on as they expected, but extended their lines in front of the wall. A most furious dis charge of muskets took place from both sides. The Dahomans extended their lines, expecting to find a weak place to attack, and the Egbas extended parallel with them. At this stage of the battle I observed a large mass marching in good order to the attack, and I feared for the result; but they alio ex tended, strengthening their companies. Mr. Bowen, an American missionary who lodges in our compound, now )3i joined us, he having gone out long before the Daho ;% mans appeared, to see what preparations the Egbas had made, and was on the wall at the time of the first attack. He encouraged us by his account of the firmness of the Egbas. Having once been a soldier tee- himself, he had had practical knowledge of warfare in actual service. After a time we observed that the Daho mans showed a disposition to retire, and also that the Egbas had outflanked them, and were becoming the , it assailants, setting th e grass on fi re to annoy their epee • mies, and firing on them whenever they could. The Dahomans were now evidently retiring, but turning about constantly and discharging their muskets. They retired after a while out of our sight, the firing be coming less and less. While this was going on , the • Abbeokuta women were leaving the town at the back • pouring out before us with a few men with them, terrified and cast down; our compound was filled with ,4 terrified people. The Egbas now began to show, in % truly savage style, some proofs of their success: the first was the foot of a man who had been slain, then the hand and foot of a woman, and after a while a living captive, one of the renowned women soldiers. I fol ice. lowed her to the ho use o f h er captor, near my own; she was attired in a sort of vest. She spoke to me as freely as our ignorance of each other's language would admit of. Tho Dahomans retired to the ford. Mr. I g Bowen returned to the wall as a spectator, and told me that he saw a daring feat performed by a few of the Egbas. They went and provoked the Dahomans to attack them, which they did; the Egbas fled, bat sud a. faced about, and discharged their guns with great effect. He thought he saw four of the Dahomans fell, ! but the smok e preve nted distinct v i s i on . T he Daho mans''' left many of their party on the battlefield dead, the greater part of whom were women, and many as 11 prisoners, but the number we have not ascertained with any certainty. The King of Dahomy, as soon as dark- Od ness permitted, fl e d w i t h 200 people, leaving the bulk of 1% his army to cover his retreat. They were too strong insto be attacked by th e E g b as after a long fight, and the Egbas had too little discipline to execute an attack ; % in the night; but they were harassed all the night 0 5 through by skirmishes, an d ear l y in the morning they r ° c l decamped in good order, followed by the Egbas. They 6d stamped their character with infamy by an act of great barbarity before retreating. They had taken a number °d of farmers, in their march, prisoners, but, before leaving, they decapitated 42 or upwards, and carried off their heads. Their hands being tied, to. as captives are, and many being identified by their friends, proved that they were not slain in battle; two of them were w omen an d one a b oy. I understand that the heads were cast away in the retreat afterwards. ;34 This king is the monster who calls himself the friend of the white people at Whydah, and of the slave trade, and by such wars slaves are procured. What would the members of the Peace Society have done be • hind the walls of Abboekuta, with these disciplined bar ;l4 banana advancing in masses to the attack,' Through :N mercy they have been repelled; bat many of the Egbas have fallen, and many are severely wounded. Ono of my people came to us in the afternoon, begging for some one to extract a shot from his shoulder; it had entered at the aide of the upper part of the arm, and passed about six inches through the flesh outside of the shoulder-blade. Mr. Dennis ventured to try, although ho had never done 200 or out , 30 anything of the sort before, and after considerable trou • ble cut it out.

The cattle train having arrived at the goods jumped station, the guard, before the train had quite stopped, off on the do wn line without noticing the mail train, which was approaching at a rap id rate. I n an i nstant h e was k noce d down, and some o f the wheels crushed his head, almost cut ting it from his body. Of course his death must have been instantaneous.

It is said that a part of the' personal luggage and provisions d the King fell into their hands, and that ho was obliged to fly on foot. The number slain in this battle was m)re, they say, than those before Abbeokuta. The Egbaa ould not make captiv e s i n this battle ; even when disarmed, they (the Dahomans) fought, and refused to strrender, and they were killed. I am sorry to report that one of Mr. Crowther's com municants is missing, bit he may yet be found. In order to find him, if he were amoung the slain, Mr. Crowther passel over the greater part of the battle-field, sod his report )f the number of slain is such give a great number ,. He says they are lying in f in various erections, over a large extent oflofsu to give and fives,ound.The length of tall attacked was upwards of a mile. I sent two persons out this morning to count the slain Dabomans ; one ciliated them in tens, and the ainiand to our surprise it the report brought us by a had long been a D a h oman slav amounted e, erthteart:n wrote ;heolt h , E2 e .

To supply the slave market vith slaves would be a just reply. The peoile everywhere here seem to ascribe their deliverance to . God and the l i hi te men. I hope the Da homan King will learn a less(n from this, and cease from these barbarous wars, for stich not the shadow of a ca use was given by the Egbs, nor, I suppo se , by most of the other towns that he his warred against.

I asked a captive how many retired with the King, when they felt them selves defeated, to be out of (anger? He said 200. I asked again how many were there in the army? He said that even as it was impossible for me to count the people of Abbeokuta, sc was it for him to count their army. The Dahomai captives are desperate; there are three several nstances of their rising against their captors, and shying them in their own houses; ono when he was in tie act of giving bis captive food. The people treat their )risoners kindly, but I fear all these will be killed unlesf we can prevent it by any means. I was with Sagbua his morning, and the sub ject was discussed. I protested against it. A meeting was proposed, and I told hm that they ought not to have a meeting without calling. me to it. The prisoners are, however, private property, and this may hinder their being killed. I feel assired that the Egbas would exchange a captive for an Egia slave now in the Daho man country.' GREAT EARTHQUAKE in CHILI. VALPARAISO NEMLY DESTROYED. (From the Yalpa-aiso Reporter.) On the 2d of April, at a qtarter past six, A et., Valpa raiso was visited by ono of those calamities so frequent in volcanic countries. The severest shock ever felt since the great earthquake of the year 1822, when Valparaiao was almost totally destroyed, has created a ptnic not equalled by any former event. rat A ion s , eve p r r e ol t o r o e g m e b d ling by of le t s he earth of fifteen s voieot afters seconds hocksto twoau minutes, which two minutes appeared as so many hours to those whose lives and property were endangered, has in so short a time destroyed several hundred dwell ings, and has made a groat number of persons houseless. It is generally believed that from the violence of the shock, ten or fifteen seconds nore would have brought on the same disastrous consequences as the earthquake in 1822, though the houses at present are generally built in a more substantial meaner, and loss liable to fall. The motion came from the south, and directed its course to the north, notwithstanding some of the northern ports of the country, as Copiapo, Coquimbo, and Cobija, have only felt very slight symptoms of the shock, and it is supposed that the motion, though severe, has not spread over much territory. From the South, Conception, Tal cahuano, and other places, we have received no intelli gence up to this date, but aro led to believe from the irregular course of the motion that the effects have not been severe. Constitution, we have ascertained, has not suffered. We have received further accounts from the captain of a vessel from the South, who reports to have felt a severe commotion in the sea 40 miles off St,. Antonio. This confirms us in our opinion that the motion of the earth has been very irregular. The temperature during the earthquake was hot and oppressive, but no alteration took place in the thermo meter, which stood at 62. The American frigate Raritan let go her load imme diately, and had great difficulty in hauling it in ; the convulsion at the bottom of the sea having caused it to sink three feet in the sand. The motion of the earth was observed to be of less violence in some parts than others, not 100 yards dis tant, so much so that old and decayed houses stood the shock better in some parts than newly and strongly erected edifices, and those houses in the structure of which the most timber has been employed remained almost sound. During the eventful 15 seconds the houses reeked to and fro as se many vessels at sea. Not a breeze of air was perceptible during the whole of the day, and slighter shocks continued at 6.46 mi nutes, 6.56 minutes, 8.51 minutes, 10.55 minutes, and have continued ever since of more or less strength and duration, and even at this moment of writing on the 7th inst., at half-past one r.x., a short but severe motion made the inhabitants rush out of their houses. The houses in the port, where the greatest part of the commercial establishments keep their offices, have, com paratively speaking, suffered but little, being built on a solid rocky foundation; and we can only hear of one of General Herrera's houses, occupied by Messrs. Gibbs and Co., being in a dangerous state. The Custom House has suffered little; some slight constructed orna ments having been demolished, and part of the roof having been carried along with it. The consequent heavy rain, however, on the 4th inst., has damaged a number of packages, the extent of which we have not ascertained. A few houses situated on the top of the hill (main top) a sailors' resort, came tumbling down with a crash. In those parts, however, spreading along the beach, the and others, where the grou n d i A s sandy, iat loo a s n e d a r n aie d C alls N considerable aevt damage has been done, and about 200 houses are unfit for habitation. More than 200 families have been obliged to pass the first day and night in the streets, partly from fear of renewed shocks, partly from the danger attending the stay in their houses. The middle of the streets were crowded, particularly with the female portion of the city, until, in the course of the following day, tents and wooden houses were erected in the Piazza de Victoria, for the houseless. The captains of vessels of all nations in the port placed immediately their vessels at the disposal of all those who wanted a refuge, either from necessity or fear, and have since then received the thanks of the Government for their hospitality, expressed in a letter from the Inten dente, General Blanco. Much damage has been done to stores where liquids, glass-ware, and other breakable materials are kept. We aro happy to say not a single life has been lost, nor can we hear of a severe fracture. On the 4th instant, at twelve o'clock P.m., a heavy rain set in, which lasted uninterruptedly for twelve hours, which cooled the at mosphere considerably, but destroyed still more property, pouring into the roofless houses, and compelling those who had. taken' refuge in the Piasa and were living in tents, to leave, and seek shelter in the theathre, or with friends in the port. The loss is generally esti mated, including the damage done to buildings, at one million of dollars. The principal public buildings which have suffered are the Addana, the churches Merced and Marta, the cartel of the national guard, the hospital, and the Temple Saint Domingo. The scarcity of houses, so much felt before the earth quake by the fast increasing population of our city, has now reached the highest degree. Business has only been interrupted for the day, the Custom-house has been closed by order of the Inten dente. Casa Blanca, as well as quilletta, have suffered severely, and in some parts in the latter places, as well as in the capital, the ground has opened and thrown up a quantity of hot water. The damage done in Santiago is similar to that in Valparaiso, with the exception that there being a larger number of public buildings in the capital, the pecuniary loss must be severer. The principal public buildings more or less damaged are the Mint, a splendid new building in the Plan, at the same time the residence of his Excellency President Buldes, the cathedral, and several other buildings.

This was an action of trover brought by Captain Heald against the defendant, who is agent of the London and Dunkirk Shipping Company, to recover the value of a cas v p e of pictures a n kir k, which, ha d be n having sent from been Paris cleared to Eng land the Custom-house by the defendant, without (as was alleged) the plaintiff 'a authority, and afterwards removed to a warehouse in Seething-lane, was burnt there in a firo which destroyed the warehouse and adjoining premises. I S e ;o g r e a t n a t a B plaintiff 1 e a and ; and Mr. m ß r. oc yv hf a o t r s t on C , l Q ar , lc c e ., w m er r e . Bramwell, and M r . M a i nsty , f ur the defendant. cou M ns r e . George Frederick Nisbett was examined by Mr. Roch fort Clarke, and said—l am the plaintiff's valet. In August last the plaintiff resided at an hotel in the Place Vendome, Paris. He gave me instructions to pack up and send seven cases of pictures, browses, and other ar ticles by the Chemin de For du Nord to Dunkirk, to be shipped from thence to England. The goods were pro early packed an d f orwar d ed, addressed, " Nisbett, Cus tom-house, London." On m y err i va l i n E ngland I ap plied to the defendant, as agent of the Dunkirk Shipping Company's office, for the cases. He told me ho had re ceived six cases, but the seventh had been broken up on the railway, and they were doing their best to get the case or damages for it from the railway company. He referred me to Hr. Nelsham, a Custom-house agent, and I wont to him and gave him instructions to clear the six cases, and send them to Usher's Hotel, Suffolk street. I also told him if he obtained the seventh case to clear it. There were eleven pictures in the seventh case. Their value was 2371. Ido not recollect all the pictures, but I should if you would mention it. Mr. Rochfort Clarke—Well, was one of them " Le Mlle Mignon P"—Yes. Mr. Watson—What is that; give us the English of it? Mr. Clarke—l do not know that it is not English. Mr. Sergeant BYLES —At any rate it is a language known all the world over. I Mr. Watson—Well, what is it? Mr. Justice Weerlams—You may see it in all the printsellers' windows. Mr. Watson—l never look in them, my Lord. Mr. Sergeant BYLES —Well, it is called " the little sin," and represents a young lady kissing herself in a looking-glass.—(Laughter.) Mr. Clarke—Were there also two pictures called " Les Amazons?" Witness—Yes; also the portraits of a horse and dog; a Dutch painting ; a portrait of Mr. Heald; and a portrait of the Countess of Landsfeldt (Lola Mentes). There were also four pastel,. Mr. WATSON—What are they? Witness—Crayon drawings. Two wore of female figures with birds; another a lady with a fan; and a large one representing Cupid holding a glass, and a lady looking in it.— (Laughter.) Mr. Heald bought the pictures in London before he went to live in Paris. Cross-examined by Mr. WATSON--I still live with Mr. Heald. I saw the pictures in London, and after wards in Paris. I saw some of the paintings at Mr. Watson's. Mr. Sergeant BYLES —What! in the Temple?— (Laughter.) Witness—No. In Piccadilly. " Les Amazons" were at the barracks. They were not two stout ladies on horseback. —(Laughter.) The figures were rather slight. Tho countess's portrait was a half length in oil. When the cases were sent off, I declared the value of this case to be 900 f., and I insured it for that sum against injury. Mr. Nelsham, a Custom-house broker, deposed that 1 the last witness having applied to him, he cleared the six cases in August last. In September he went to the de fendant's on other business, and was told the seventh case had arrived, and that the defendant had cleared it and paid the duty. He told defendant's son he should not have done that, but that if he would send the case to him ho would pay the duty and charges. It was not sent. A few days after the fire defendant called on him and told him of the loss, and asked him if Barber was justified in removing the cases from the warehouse where he had placed them to the one in Seething-lane without his knowledge, and if he (Barber) would not be respon sible for doing so. If the defendant had not cleared the case on its arrival it would have been taken to the Queen's warehouse, and would have remained there for three months and fourteen days, unless claimed before that period. A clerk from Mr. Barber's office proved that the case was deposited at their warehouse, near the docks, by the defendant, and that as they were pressed for room there it was removed with other goods to another warehouse in Seething-lane, as was their usual course of business. The wareh ouse i n Seething -lane was accidentally burnt a p n e , n o h f e Bond-s the M p r ic 4i tur m e rn " e L rm e Mignon"tre e t a t , t provedhe plaintiff that n h e lB s sold , down, and the goo d s warehoused in it were destroyed. for 631., and the two pictures, "Les Amazons," by de Dreux, for 161. They were very fine paintings, and well worth the money. Cross -examined—Mr. Heald is a young man; I should think about 21. "Le Peche Mignon" was an original; I bought it of the artist, and gavo him 50 guineas for it about a fortnight before I sold it. Mr. Roche (from Mitchell's in Bond-street) proved that he sold two of the pastels to Mr. Heald, in January, 1849, for 401. The frames cost two guineas each besides. Mr. Watson, carver and gilder, Piccadilly, proved that the pictures were at his shop for some time before they were sent to Paris. "Le Piehe Mignon" was a magnificent drawing, such as was seldom seen. He considered the price given for it was very low. " Les Ammons" were also very fine paintings. A gentl eman offered him 151. each for copies of them whilst they were in his shop, but he told him he could not let him have copies without Mr. Heald's permission. Another picture was a portrait of a favourite horse and dog of Mr. Heald's, by Spalding. The dog was feeding the horse with carrots, as it was accustomed to do. Being por traits, the painting would not be worth so much to another person, but the artist had a great reputation, and 15/. was a fair value to put upon it. Mr. Heald's portrait was a water colour by Coke Smyth. H e was drawn at full length in regimentals. Seven guineas was the price paid for it. The Countess of Landsfeldt's por trait was in oil. It was by Middleton, an artist of cele brity. The picture cost SOL, and the frame seven guineas. The Dutch Oil painting was an old one, and very fine; it would notdisgrace anycollection in the king dom. Its value, without knowing the artist's name, was 234 or 30L The two pastels were worth 251. a piece. The third 151. For the large one 30 guineas was not a farthing too much. It was by Brocharte, one of the finest artists in Europe, and was as beautiful a crayon as the witness ever saw. Mr. Sergeant BlLES—Which was that P " Cupid's Holiday " did you call it, or " Cupid disporting him self ? " Witness—No ; I said it was Cupid holding a looking.glass to a lady. The first time I saw i t was the day before Mr. Heald married the Countess of Landsfeldt. Mr. WATSON—Oh, oh, that was Cupid disporting him. self : —( Laughter.) Mr. berlie—l 'am in the employ of a lacema n in Lon don. In 1848 my employer sold the large pastel of Cupid and the Glass to Mr. Heald. We asked 35 guineas for it, but sold it for 30 guineas. This being the plain tiff's case, Mr. WATSON submitted that there was no evidence of a wrongful conversion by the defendant. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he would reserve the point, but the case must go to the jury. Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury, contending that all the defendant had done had been with a view to the benefit of Mr. Heald and the safety of the case, and that he was by no means responsible for the unfortu nate result of his interference, which, moreover, he would prove to have been authorised by the plaintiff. Witnesses were then called, who proved that the case in question baying sustained some injury on the French railway, it was, pursuant to the custom in France, exa mined on the behalf of the railway by an e..pert, who discovered that all the damage done was, that three glasses of pictures in the case had been broken in the carriage. It was then repacked and delivered to the Dunkirk Shipping Company's agent at Dunkirk, who sent it to the defendant with a bill of lading as follows: " Case containing pictures, to be delivered at port of London to Mr. Cary, to hold at the disposal of Nisbett, Custom House, London, or order, on payment of freight, V/. 12s. 6d. Goods to be transhipped in twenty-four hours, or else they will be warehoused at cost and risk of sender." Mr. Sergeant BYLES replied, and contended that the defendant's evidence did not show any authority what ever to the defendant by the plaintiff, and that but for the defendant's unauthorized interference the case would have been safely deposited in the Queen's warehouse until the plaintiff sent for it. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up, and loft it to the jury to say—first, whether the plaintiff authorised the defendant to receive the case; secondly, whether his object in receiving it was to do the best be could for the consignee; and thirdly, whether he acted as a prudent man would have done by it. The jury answered all these questions in the negative, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1501. da mages.

This was an action of libel, brought by Miss Hoare, whose name as a, suitor in the courts at Westminster is not unfamiliar to the public, against the defendant, as pro prietor of the Mornin. Herald. On the cause being called on, and the jury being sworn, Miss Hoare applied to the Lord Chief Baron for an order directing the keeper of newspapers in the British Museum to produce the paper which contained the supposed libel, and which had been returned to th e Stamp-office. The Learned Judge, bay ing c onsu lt e d w i th the other judges in the adjo ining court, was of o pi n i on t h at b e h a d no power to make an order. Th e plaintiff then, by consent of the deaie i u fendanc, counsel, withdrew the record. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. GURNEY, q.c.) Yesterday John Cotton pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously escaping from Dartmoor . prison, a n d b eing at large before the expiration of a period of transporta tion to which he had been sentenced. It appeared from inquiries made by the Learned Com. missioner that the prisoner had been originally trans ported for highway robbery, and that there was good beau at o l f ar e he g ground for believing that since ho had had committed two other highw a y robberies gravated character. an ag lie was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Baron PLATT ) Tkemas Reed, 35, wine merchant, was indictod for fe loniously uttering a f,rged acceptanc3 to a bill of ex change for 151., with intent to defraud Samuel Ilulwo Day.; Sir. Cooper prosecuted, and Dlr. Parry defended the prisoner. - It will be remembered that at the last session the prisoner was acquitted upon two indictments charging him with uttering two other forged bills, with intent to de fraud the same prosecutor. It appeared that the prisoner had formerly carried on the business of a wine merchant, in partnership with his brother at Bath, but the partnership was dissolved in 1846, and since that perid the prisoner had no inte rest whatever in the business. The prosecutor, who is a wine -merchant in Puddine-lane, had been in the habit of doing business with the firm at Bath, and o❑ the 28th March the prisoner purchased some champagne, which he represented was for the firm of Reed and Co., at Bath, and he accepted a bill for the amount as for that firm, and it appeared that the wino was afterwards ap propriated to his own purposes. Mr. PARRY, on behalf of the prisoner, adopted the same line of defence as on the former occasion, urging that there was no positive testimony to negative the probability that the prisoner might, from his former connexion with the firm at Bath, have considered that ho was justified in the proceeding he had taken. Mr. Justice COLIRIDGE summed up, and The jury, after deliberating for more than an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty of uttering the forged in strument, but recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his former respectable position and good character. Mr. COOPER, on behalf of the prosecution, also joined in the recommendation to mercy. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for two years. THIRD COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) George Doune Mayne, 24, clerk, was indicted for un lawfully attempting to obtain from the Monarch Fire and Life Assurance Company the sum of 1001., with in tent to cheat and defraud. The prisoner, who had been arraigned yesterday and pleaded Guilty, was brought up for judgment. The CorastoN SERGEANT, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that the offence he had pleaded guilty to was one of a very serious character, it being a most gross abuse of the confidence reposed in him. Happily his plans had been frustrated, but not by any act on his part, for he had done all in his power to succeed in the com mission of the offence, and therefore his conduct was as bad as if he had obtained the money. The character the prisoner bore was but an aggravation, for it was in consequence of that character that the trust he had en joyed had been placed i❑ him, and it would be most likely that no suspicion would be entertained that he in tended any wrong. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. John Mosely, a respectable-looking man, a master carpenter, surrendered to take his trial for attempting to commit a capital offence on Mary Ann Bailey, a girl 14 years of age. Mr. Thomson prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended. The prosecutrix, who appeared to be a very forward girl, had been in the service of prisoner, who lived at Charlton, Kent. The alleged offence took place on the 23d of May, during the absence of prisoner's wife. Although she had plenty of opportunities, prosecutrix never spoke of it to any one for a fortnight. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an assault. Re was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The other cases disposed of in these courts during the day were of a very trivial character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Mary Johnson, an elegantly attired young woman, of considerable personal attractions, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having obtained the sum of 311. by means of forged promissory notes, from Mr. Frank Senior, a chemist and druggist, carrying on business in the Queen's-road Dalston. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been a frequent customer at his shop for some time past, and resided with a family of great respectability at Pember ton-cottages, in his immediate neighbourhood. On the 28th ult. the prisoner called upon him, and, producing a promissory note for 61., purporting to be drawn in her favour by Messrs. Black wood, the publishers, and made payable at the banking-house of Messrs. Child and Co., requested him to accommodate her with cash for the amount. The prisoner at the same time intimated that she had received it direct from Messrs. Blackwood, as a remuneration for some literary productions which she bad furnished for their magazine. Witness thereupon cashed it for her, and about two days after she again called with a similar promissory note for 201.. which ho was likewise induced to discount upon the faith of the same representations. On the 3d instant the prisoner brought him a third promissory note for 401., which she also wished him to cash, but, suspecting from the fre quency of her visits, that there might be something doubtful about the security of the transaction, he objected to cash the note, but consented to advance her 51. upon it, which the prisoner accepted, and immediately after she had left he dispatched a messenger to make inquiries at the banking-house, where it was ascertained that Messrs. Blackwood kept no account at that establishment. On communicating the result to the prisoner, she expressed herself in strong terms of indig nation against Messrs. Blackwood for their remissness in not lodging the amount of the notes where they were made payable, and begged him to wait a few days until the second ono came due, when she would call and dis charge them both. Hu consented to do so, but in the interval made fresh inquiries, which satisfied him that they were forgeries, and he therefore sent for the prisoner, and upon communicating to her what he had ascer tained, she again assured him they were genuine, and invited him to p rocee d w i th her at once to the residence of Sir George Armitage, in Ca mbridge -square, Hyde park, whom she designated as her cousin, and that the matter would be speedily and satisfactorily arranged. He accordingly accompanied her there in a cab, from which the prisoner alighted at the house, and, after re making a considerable time inside, again joined him, and, without entering into the particulars of her visit, directed the cabman to drive to the residence of Lord Villiers, in Charles -street, Berkeley -square. Having been informed by the porter, on their arrival there, that his Lordship was not at home, the prisoner desired to be conveyed to the house of Mr. Mackenzie, a solicitor in River-terrace, Islington, with whom she also had an in terview, leaving witness in the cab, and on coming out told him that she bad been advised by her solicitor to proceed at once to Leamington to procure the money, and requested further indulgence; but witness refused to part M with her, h and ulti mately gave h er i nto custody. London brancho Hunt of Messrs. Langford, th e manager of the Blackwood's establishment deposed th a t th e pr i soner was an entire stranger to him, , and that the signatures to the promissory notes pro duced were not written by either of the Messrs. Black wood, or any other person connected with their firm. Police -constable htl'i r alter, of the N division, stated that the prisoner was given into his custody at the time in question, and that upon searching her at the station house he found in her possession a variety of letters and other documents, amongst which was another promis sory note, also bearing the signature of Messrs. Black wood. Upon telling her that she was charged with uttering forged instruments, the prisoner did nut attempt to explain her conduct, but merely asked him if he thought Mr. Senior would press the charge if she paid him the money. The prisoner, who listened to the evidence with an air of coolness and perfect self-possession, declined put ting any questions to the witnesses, and made no obser vations in answer to the charge. Mr. Hasailims intimated his intention to send the case before a jury, and ordered the prisoner to be re manded until that day week for the formal completion o' the depositions. LAMBETH. Henry Fraser Dimsdale, the son of Baron Dimsdale, was brought up on a warrant charging him with as saultingh Mr. Jarman and others, by pelting them with eggs and other missiles OA their return from Epsom, on the Oaks day. Saunders, tho officer, stated that he held a warrant nd for some days f or th e apprehension of Messrs.

Mr. ELLIOTT suggested that the best course, under the circumstances, would be for Mr. Dimsdale to put in bail, himself in 404 and two sureties in 201. each, to attend on a subsequent day, when the complainants would have proper notice, and be present to give evidence in the case. Mr. Dimsdale entered into his own recognizances for 401 ., and Mr. Henry Frederick Holt, of Charing-cross, solicitor, and Mr. Appleyard, of Lincoln's Inn-square, solicitor, in 20/. each. The former was liberated.
