who had stolen a dog worth 201., the charge was not made against him for stealing the animal, hut for steal ing his collar, which was worth 7s. 6 1., there being some difficulty in punishing a person who hid stolen a dog of that value. That person was convicted. and wag then uodergoinz transportation for the offence with which he was charged. Sorely this proved that the law was in an inefficient state, and that it required emenda tion. Then he saw no reason why the punishment for stealing a dog of the value of 201. or 301 should not be equal to that to which a person who stole a " jack-ass" rendered himself liable—(Laughter)—an offence formerly punishable by death, but now by seven years' transpor tation. He hoped, therefore, that the House would allow the Bill to go into Committee. Mr. VIVIAN considered that the penalty of trans portation for seven years for the offence of stealing a dog was not of that exorbitant nature supposed. He should not have proposed such a punishment if the offence had been a mere casual one ; but it should be recollected that a great number of disreputable persons existed by stealing dogs, and by levying a species of tax, in conse quence, on the community. The law at present in force was not sufficiently powerful to reach those persons. That sentence, however, would only be carried out when th.s judge had the fact before him that the prisoner had been in the habit of stealing dogs, and he conceived it was necessary that such an offender ought to be removed out of the country for that period. Great difficulty was experienced in serving a search warrant, as in London there were receptacles for dogs which had been stolen ; and as they were adr3itly moved from place to place, the police had great difficulty in ascertaining the place to serve it. He did not propose to remove that obstacle entirely, but to give additional facilities to the authorities. Mr. ESCOTT considered that the present law was sufficient for all the purposes required. Nine persons out of ten fell into the error that there was no law for punishing persons convicted of stealing dogs, whereas they were liable to a line of 201., over and above the value of the animal, which, in his opinion, was a sufficient punishment. _ _ The House then went into Committee. The first clause was agreed to. Mr. HAWES objected to the second clause, and pro posed its omission. Mr. BOUVERIE seconded the amendment, and thought dogs ought not to be considered in the light of property. The law, as it originally stood, made this distinction, and he did not see any reason for changing the law in that respect. Mr. LIDDELL admitted that the original law made such a distinction, but he thought very unwisely so. He would tell the Committee why he thought the dis tinction foolish and unwise. It was untrue to suppose that dogs were kept merely for pleasure. Look, for in stance, in the southern parts of England, where dogs were kept for the purpose of protecting sheep. A more useful animal than the sheep-dog could hardly be found, and he could see no reason why the sheep-dog should not be protected from the robber in the same way as other valuable property. An HON. MEMBER rose and complained that a penalty of 201. was too heavy for the first offence of dog-steal ing, while that part of the clause which inflicted the punishment of transportation for seven years for the third offence was most monstrous. Mr. WATSON agreed with the Hon. Member. If a man stole all the dogs in the country, he would not deserve to be punished so severely. Mr. CURTEIS could not consent to hear dogs ran dowr in that way, because he thought many of them were useful and valuable animals. Mr. LIDDELL defended the clause. He proposed to alter the penalty for the second offence from transporta tion to a fine of 20L, or imprisonment, with or without hard labour, provided it did not exceed eighteen months. Mr. WILLIAMS approved of the principle of the Bill, but did not think it either wise or just to inflict the punishment of transportation on a person who had been convicted of dog stealing. Mr. P. BORTHWICK said the dogs which the Bill was intended to protect wore dogs of a most deteriorated species.—(Laughter.) Dogs that were prized most were generally the ugliest of their species, and it appeared to him the only use of them was to engender hydro phobia.—(Laughter.) Mr. HAWES moved that the clause be struck out altogether. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the clause as amended 33 Against it Majority -27 The clause was then agreed to. Mr. BOUVERIE objected to the third clause relatire t) the punishment fur the concealment of dogs. Mr. WATSON said that the Bill would rank with tut (other Acts of Parliament which the Judges were tir . )ry day in the habit of characterising as equally un *lse and anomalous. Mr. LIDDELL thought that if the law in one instance *as proved to be defective, it was the duty of every Member in that House to endeavour to apply a remedy. Mr. WATSON said that it was the duty of Govern ment, if a remedy were wanted, to apply it ; but he was altogether opposed to this nibbling sort of legislation. Mr. C. BULLER thought that if the Hon. Member for Durham had merely brought in his Bill, making dog stealing punishable like sheep stealing, it would have had the effect of avoiding the necessity for all this discussion. He did not admire the anomalous powers given by the Bill to justices of the peace and other magistrates. The sd and 4th clauses were ultimately agreed to. On clause 5 being proposed, Mr. HENLEY moved that certain words be omitted. After a few words from the SOLICITOR-GENE RAL, recommending the Hon. Member for Durham to accede to the motion, the motion, as amended, was agreed to. Clauses 6, 7, and 8 were then passed without oppo sition. On clause 9 being proposed, _ Mr. ESCOTT said that he' thought this clause had better be confined to the Bill of last year, so as to obtain a tabula rasa for future proceedings. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL trusted his Hon. Friend would not persist in opposing this clause. Mr. ESCOTT withdrew his opposition. The Bill passed through Committee, the House re• sumed, and the report was then brought up. SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Smoke Prohibition Bill on the motion of the Earl of LINCOLN. On the Ist clause being put, Mr. HAWES said that he should certainly object to this clause, for he did not see that there was any suffi cient security for carrying out the provisions of the Bill. The Earl of LINCOLN trusted that the Hon. Gen tleman would sot persevere in his opposition to the clause, fur he thought that there was a sufficient security for the Bill being carried out. The machinery of Commis. sioners was totally unnecessary for carrying out its pro visions, for the Bill itself would be its own security. The clause then passed. On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. P. BORTHWICK opposed the clause, on the ground that there was not sufficient provision for en forcing the regulations of the Bill. The Earl of LINCOLN said that his attention had not been brought to this point until this morning, and he thought that some clause might be iatroduced for giving the town council of boroughs power to assess the rates. Justices for the county had certainly a right to interfere with the rates, but town justices had not. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought thatthe words of the Act were puite sufficient for the purpose, espe cially as the term smoke appeared to be well defined. The Earl of LINCOLN said that the term smoke he apprehended to mean the dark vapour which issued from the chimney of the manufactory, and he thought that any one acquainted with the labours of the Select Com mittee upstairs would have no difficulty in coming to a decision. After u, conversation, in which Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. Borthwick took part, Mr. WILLIAMS said that a friend of his, who was most certainly the largest manufacturer in England, had erected an apparatus for 38s. which had completely ob viated all the nuisance. Mr. RICARDO said, that so far as his experience went, the attempt to obviate the evil had been perfectly useless, and he thought that before the House called upon any manufacturer to abate the nuisance, they ought to provide a means by which the evil might be reduced. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the manufacturer of whom he had spoken had saved several hundred pounds a year at the cost of 385., and had completely abated the evil from every portion of his manufactory. Mr. MACKINNON thought that it would be quite useless to lay down any plan for reducing the evil. The circumstances of every manufactory were different from every other. All they wanted was to know what it was that they had to guard against. The Earl of LINCOLN said that he should wish to introduce by amendment that the work smoke should, in every instance, be taken to mean dark smoke, and not gas or vapour. The clause then passed. A long discussion then arose on the provisions of the second clause, in which Lord Newry, Mr. Hawes, Mr. P. Borthwick, Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Ricardo joined. Mr. PROTHEROE contended that the lion. Member for Wolverhampton was wrong in supposing that smoke was not injurious. He (Mr. Protheroe) contended that it was not o n ly i n j ur i ous, b ut extreme l y i nconven i en t t o the inhabit an t s of those houses in whose vicinity it was emitted. Mr. J. H. VIVIAN proposed, as an amendment, that the resolution contained in the interpretation clause be confined to steam-engines connected with mineral mines. After a few observations from Mr. Vivian and Mr. Buller, the Souse divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 2 Againstit Majorit y against it —42 The House then divided on the amendment proposed by Mr. Villiers, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Maj0rity.................. ...... —33 After a few words from Mr. M•linniox and Mr. VILLIERS, Sir J. GRAHAM said, that he had very great h doubts as to th e p olic y of those amendments subject had been referred, b y distinct agreement, The subject toe a Select Committee , and he, therefore, would give his decided opposition to anything that militated against the opinion which they bad come to, in reference to stationary engines. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the Hon. Member for Stoke-upon-Trent should not, after the evidence which hd be given press the adoption of his views. After a a few words , from Mr. WA is and Mr. DUKINNoN, Mr. BROTHERTON said that a petition had been presented by his ovvri constituents against the amend ments of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton. He .thought by adopting the measure it would be in no wa y andurious to the manufactories of the country. Mr. RICARDO said that he Rave the gentleman vast credit for his perseverance in bringing forward this question, but he thought he should not press the subject forward with such unseemly haste.—(Laughter.) Mr. BORTH WICK said that his Honourable Friend Mr. Mackinnon had not broken faith with th Honour able Member for Wolverhampton. It was only iron works which were to be exempted, not minin works. Mr. VILLIERS suggested that it would e better to postpone the Bill for a week, in order to prey nt any one supposing that there had been any trick in etting the Bill through. The Honourable Gentleman (jr. Mac kinnon) had received a deputation of manufacturers who believed that they would be affected by this Bill, and the Hon. Gentleman gave them the assurance that the Bill would not affect them. On this ground, then, it would be well for the Honourable Gentleman to postpone the Bill for a week. Mr. M'KINNON said the amendments which had been made in the Bill were not his but those of the Com mittee. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the Bill ought to proceed. The Earl of LINCOLN did not think that any ground had been shown for the postponement of the Bill. Mr. P. HOWARD was understood to take the same view. Mr. RICARDO said he had no wish to interfere with the decision of the Committee. He had understood the Right Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir R. Peel) on a former occasion as recommending Members to consult their con stituents. That course he (Mr. Ricardo) had taken and had received petitions from numerous respectable manu facturers, accompanied moreover by deputations, not only from the town he represented but other extensive commercial districts. In consultation with these parties he proposed to introduce and support the clause both in Committee upstairs and also in Committee of the whole House, but being informed that the Hon. Mem ber for Lymington had promised to obtain the insertion of the clause in either stage of the Bill, he contented himself with merely giving it his vote. Finding, how ever, now that the Hon. Member had deserted his charge he (Mr. Ricardo) would take it up anew, and press it with all the power he could command.—(Hear.) Mr. MACKINNON explained that his course on the present clause was solely in reference to the iron-works. Mr. HAWES should oppose the Bill unless he ob tained a specific assurance from the Hon. Member for Lymington that he had not neglected the wishes of the manufacturers after giving a pledge to support them. Mr. VILLIERS denied that the manufacturers were opposed to the Bill. Mr. PROTHEROE suggested that the clauses urged by the Member for Stoke•upon-Trent should be with drawn until the Bill was reported, sad at that stage re introduced. Mr. P. BORTRWICK and Lord G. SOMERSET defended the conduct of the Member for Lymington. After some further discussion the Committee divided, when the numbers appeared— . 53 For the motion . Against it Majority against the motion —'46 On the next clause being read, Mr. HAWES proposed an amendment that all en gines and works under the inspection of the Excise be exempted from its provisions. Mr. MACKINNON objected to the amendment- He did not see any just reason for the exemption. After a few further remarks by several Hon. Mem bers the gallery was cleared for a division. - On our return we learned that the amendment was withdrawn without a division. Clauses up to 12 exclusive were then agreed to with out discussion. On that clause, which enjoined a penalty of 5/. on the manufacturer who neglected to consume his smoke, Mr. RICARDO objected to it, as entailing a gross ina justice on the master, by the negligence of whose ser vant the infringement of the law had been committed. Mr. P. BORTtIWICK explained that the master could proceed against the servant, and the magistrate was empowered to inflict a penalty on the latter. After a few words from Mr. Mackinnon, the Solicitor- General, and Mr. Hawes, the clause was agreed to. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next. Lord JOHN MANNERS postponed his motion for the second reading of the Pious and Charitable Purposes Bill till the 16th of July. FOREIGN LOTTERIES. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for and ob tained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law for bidding the advertisement of foreign lotteries, and to stop certain actions commenced under it. To be read a second time on Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY PRIVIIIFIGE HOWARD v. GOSSET. The Select Committee appointed to inquire Alto the proceedings of the action of Howard v. Gosset, and to report their observations and opinions thereon to the House, have proceeded to the consideration of the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the follow ing report : Your Committee proceed, in discharge of the duty imposed upon them, to express their opinion as to the e)urse which, in the present state of the proceedings in the action of Howard v. Gosset, it is advisable for the House to adopt. They have given their anxious consideration to this question, and have found it one of great difficulty. On the one hand, they feel that it is of the utmost import ance that the House should maintain the ancient privi leges which are essential to the discharge of its consti tutional functions ; on the other hand, they are not in sensible to the public evil which might result from the adoption by the House of Commons of decisive measures for resisting the execution of a judgment of a court of law. They are not without apprehension that such mea sures may hereafter become inevitable: but they enter tain a strong conviction that it would be inexpedient for the House needlessly to precipitate such a crisis ; and they think that every other legitimate mode of asserting and defending its privileges should he exhausted before it resorts to the exercise of that power which it possesses, of preventing, by its own authority, the further progress of an action in which judgment has been obtained. It must be borne in mind, that this action has been already suffered to proceed through all its ordinary stages. The House, in permitting its officer to plead, followed the precedents of Burdett v. Abbott, and of' Stockdale v. Hansard. Your Committee entertain no doubt that in taking this course the House had no in tention of submitting its privileges to the judgment of the Court ; but that its single object was to bring under the knowledge of the Court, in the most formal manner, that the acts complained of by the plaintiff were done by an officer of the House in obedience to the authority of the House. In this view of the case, the pleas, in the opinion of your Committee, ought to have been admitted as a sufficient answer to the action. A different, and, as your Committee are persuaded, an erroneous construction, appears to have been placed upon the pleas ; and the question therefore now arises, what, in the present state of the proceedings, is the course most consistent with the dignity of the House and the maintenance of its privileges. Your Committee cannot advise an acquiescence in the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. Simply to sub mit to the judgment, and adopt no other proceeding. might be construed into an admission of the doctrines maintained by at least two of the judges, not upon any purely formal or technical points, but upon alleged prin ciples of law, deeply affecting the privileges of the House. These doctrines, if allowed to remain unques tioned, might, because they were unquestioned, be here after appealed to as decisive authority, and considered as the ruling principles which determined the judgment of the Court in this case. Submission would thus almost inevitably lead .to further encroachments on the privi leges of the House. In considering the expediency of any other course, your Committee have adverted to the fact, that the de cisions adverse to the privileges of the House of Com mons which have been given of late years by judicial authorities, have been given by one Court only, namely, the Court of Queen's Bench, and that the opinion of the Judges of the other Courts has never been pro nounced upon the subject. Your Committee, moreover, attach importance to the fact that the Court of Queen's Bench itself, in this ac tion, was not unanimous in its judgment; and that the Judges, who constituted the majority of the Court, as signed reasons for their judgment inconsistent with, and even contradictory to, each other. Under these circumstances your Committee have come to the conclusionthat it would be advisable in the present case to bring a writ of error on the judgment. They are aware of the argument which may be urged against this further step, as an apparent recognition of the authority of the court of law to judge of the privileges of the House, but they do not admit the force of this objection. They recommend a writ of error under the impression that, after the course already taken by the House in the pre sent action, a writ of error, on the ground that the Court of Queen's Bench ought to have admitted, upon de murrer, the sufficiency of a plea that the acts complained of by the plaintiff were done by an officer of the House, in obedience to its authority, would not compromise the rights of the House, or impair the power with which it is invested by the Constitution of asserting its privileges. It must not be forgotten, that in the case of Burdett v. Abbott, where the judgment of the Court below was in favour of the privileges of the House of Commons, the plaintiff appealed to a Court of error, and the judgment of the Court below was supported in the Court of error by counsel on behalf of the Speaker of the House of Commons, the defendant in error. Your Committee only refer to this case as raising a presumption that the House of Commons did not consider that there was any material distinction in principle between pleading in the Court below and following the record into the Court of error. What may be the judgment of the Court of Error in the present case, your Committee cannot of course anti cipate. If that Court should reverse the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, the privileges of the House of Commons will have been recognized, and the desire of the House will have been evinced to act with modera tion and forbearance. If, on the other hand, the Court of Error should up hold the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, it will then be for the House to determine what measures will be indispensable for it to take, in order to pre serve unimpai re d t h ose pr i v il eges o f w hi c h t h e Unloose of Comm ons i s t h e guar di an , an d w hi c h i t can not a • ba ndon without violating the trust which has been c°lllrte(t Your C ommittee are of opin io n that the consideration of sue measure s w ill not be p re ju diced by the fact of a writ of error having been brought ; but that, on the con trary, the necessity for th e i r adoption will be rendered more evident by the proof th a t e very other essentialcourseother which was open for the vindication of w t o ich privileges the proper discharge of its public functions, had been pur sued, without success, by the House of Commons, There is one point on which a few words of explana ' tion may be necessary. In the first report, your Com mittee, A fter oubpiitthig their (Pinion that a writ Qf error should be brought, added, " that as the levying of the plaintiff's execution would in no respect prejudice the proceedings in the writ of error, they did not deem it expedient to advise the House to interpose to prevent the levy," Your Committee took into consideration the question. whether it would be expedient to prevent the levy by authorising bail to be given on bringing the writ of error as a necessary condition of a postponement of the levy. They were clearly of opinion that this would not be expedient. It is true that it would have precluded the plaintiff from reaping the immediate fruits of his action ; but your Committee felt that, by authorising bail to be given, the house would have submitted to abide by the future judgment of the Court of Error, in the event of its being adverse. They were of opinion that any improbability of receiving back the amount of damages in the event of the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench being reversed by the Court of Error, was comparatively unimportant ; and that it was of the highest consequence that the House should reserve to itself an absolute and unfettered discretion as to the course which it may be hereafter requisite to adopt. Your Committee cannot close their report without ad verting to the fact, which has in some degree influenced their recommendation, that three other actions are pend ing at present against officers of the House for acts done under its authority ; that in one of these actions the damages have been hid at the sum of 100,0001, and that they have all been brought in the Court of Queen'ss Bench. In each of these Cie House has permitted its officer to plead, and it has directed that the Attorney General should defend the actions. Your Committee wish expressly to guard them selves against the supposition that, in recommending a writ of error in the action of Howard v. Gosset, they have expressed any opinion as to the course to be adopted in the event of a decision in any of the pending actions adverse to the privileges of the House of Commons. The proceedings in the actions are not before them ; and it would be premature to offer any recommendation to the House as to the course which it may hereafter be right to take with reference to those cases. Your Committee, however, are of opinion, that a de cision of the Court of Error in the action of Howard v. Gosset, if obtained, as it probably would be, before the judgment of the Court below is pronounced in any of the other actions, may greatly assist the House in decid ing on its future course. June 20, 1845. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Jean Dierner, who, had been for several years in the employment of Messrs. Paas and Schott, merchants, car rying on business at Antwerp under the name of F. G. Paas only, was brought up for final examination, upon a very serious charge of forgery. Mr. Clarkson attended for the prosecution. Mr. Schott, the managing partner of the concern at Antwerp, was absent from that place in November, 1843, and upon his return, he heard that the prisoner, in whom the house had the utmost confidence, had ab sconded, and taken a large sum of money from their cash-box, and had filled up a cheque fir 6,000 francs, which he had received, and with the proceeds of which he had disappeared. The prisoner had been accused at Belgium of the offence, and not having surrendered, was condemned par contumace, and sentenced to eight years trevaux forces. The charge, however, made against the prisoner on the present occasion by the Learned Counsel was that of having forged, or altered forged notes with guilty knowledge. The prosecutors not having heard any thing of the prisoner, considered that they knew the whole extent of the depredations committed by him ; but, about fifteen days ago, a promissory-note was pre sented for payment, purporting to be made by the firm in favour of a M. Brunninghausen of Hamburgh for 5,000 francs. Payment of the note was at once refused, upon the ground that it was a forgery. It was protested for non-payment. Shortly afterwards, the prosecutors received a letter, informing them that there were other promissory-notes in circulation bearing their names, and advising them to come to England, and put themselves in correspondence with the writer, who signed himself as being the well-known Vidocq. They came to town, and measures were adopted for securing the prisoner, who made a desperate resistance. Mr. Schott stated, that upon leaving Antwerp he left some blank bills in the hands of the prisoner, to be used in the affairs of the house only. Here a bill for 5,000 francs, of the translation of which the following is a copy, was produced by Mr. Clarkson : " Antwerp, 9th March, 1845, good for 5,000 francs. " Three months after date I will pay to the order of Monsieur A. Brunninghausen the sum of 5,000 francs, ♦alua received on merchandise, which you will pass. " FR. GM. PAAS. At my residence at Antwerp." Endorsements to the bill:— " Pay to the order of Mr. Bachelet value received on merchandise. " Hamburgh, 6th April, 1845. " A. BRUNNINGHAUSEN." "Pay to the order of Messrs. A. Spielman and Co. value received in cash. "London, 12th May, 1845. " C. BACHELET." " Pay to the orchr of Messrs. Osy and Co. value received. " London, 17th May, 1845. " A. SPIELMAN and CO." Witness gave to the prisoner a bill in conformity to the bill produced, but it was not filled up by any p arson in the house which had no transactions with any of the parties referred to in the bill produced. Witness, upon returning to Antwerp, after he had left the blank bills in the possession of the prisoner, found that the prisoner had gone off, but did not at all know that he had uttered the bill produced. That bill had not been used for the firm. Mr. Charles Bachelet, an agent, residing at No. 63, Regolt-street, stated that he knew Dierner well. He received the bill for 5,000 francs from the prisoner some time last May, and took it to Messrs. Spielman's office for the purpose of getting it discounted, upon the un derstanding that he was to have a commission upon the discount. He received the sum of 65/. on account, and handed it to the prisoner in Newgate-street, where they had appointed to meet. The prisoner had handed to him the bill in Regent-street, at witness's lodgings. Mr. L. F. Barrow, clerk to Messrs. Spielman earl Co., of Lombard-street, bullion dealers, stated that the bill produced was presented at the office of the firm, between the 12th and 15th May last, by a person who said his name was Bachelet. The house did not choose to dis count it, but returned it, and Bachelet brought it back, and the house agreed to discount it if they were at liberty to send it to Antwerp. They did so, and found that the parties were respectable. There was however an ind wse ment upon it relative to which they were anxious to know more, and they gave Bachelet 651. on account. Metropolitan Policeman Bleaplin stated that he appre hended the prisoner at No. 8, Ranelagh-street, Pimlico ; that he was obliged to break open the door of the room, and was then assauled with a poker by the prisoner. The prisoner (through an interpreter)—l wi,h to know whether, in consequence of the testimony of the wit nessses, I am to be tried in this country or elsewhere ? The LORD MAYOR—You will be tried here if you are committed here. Do you wish to say anything now in your defence ? The prisoner here asked if he was to consider himself upon his trial at that moment ? The LORD MAYOR—No. It is my duty to consider the evidence against you, and to commit you for trial if I should think it sufficient. and if so, your trial will take place next month, on the 7th of July. The prisoner—At that rate I shall reserve my defence until that time. The LORD MAYOR soon afterwards said, " I shall now commit you for trial." The prisoner —I wish to have an exact cpy of the bill of exchange produced against me, together with a copy of the depositions. _ _ _ Clarkso - n—We have not the least objection. The prisoner was then c )mmitted fur trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Ann Wood, a woman who has been for many years in the habit of shamming fits fora livelihood, was brought up charged with having played off a sceneat Drutnmond's banking• house. The policeman, who had on previous occasions taken her into custody as an impostor, having been informed hat a poor woman walked into the passage leading to the room in which business was transacted and fell into a fit, went to the place and saw his old acquaintance in a fit, fro n which his well known voice soon recovered her. She was described as a most admirable p:rformer and of course her profits were adapted to the fidelity with which she imitated nature. She said she had long ceased to be considered an impostor, although she admitted that the frequency with which she had been visited by the affliction might have induced some injudicious persons to imagine that she was not sincere. She, however, assured his Lordship, that there was no mistake about her disorder, and she did not know the moment it might come on. Several of the officers identified the defendant as an old customer, who had exhibited great skill in the trade she had selected, and The LORD MAYOR committed her to Bridewell for a month, notwithstanding her assurances that she would leave the City, and never set her foot in it again. THE SUN, LONDON, TFIURSDA I EVENING, JUNE 26, 1845 GUILDHALL. Mr. Wilde attended to support an information filed by the trustees of the British Museum against William Charlton Wright, of No. 4, Paternoster-row, under the Copyright Act of the sth and 6th Victoria, for neglecting to deliver at the British Museum, within one month after publication, a copy of " Raphael's Prophetic Alreanack" for the year 1844, and one for the year 1845, whereby he had forfeited the value of the two copies, and a penalty of 51. in each case. Mrs. Charlton Weight appeared on behalf of her husband, who was subpoenaed on a trial in Dublin. Mr. Wilde said this complaint was made by Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian, not because the copies omitted to be sent on this occasion were of themselves of importance, but in order to enforce on the booksellers in London a complete obedience to the Act of Parliament. It was for the public benefit that the law had provided for the collecting at such a place as the British Museum all the publications of the day. At the eleventh hour Mrs. Wright had written a very proper letter, promising to make all the reparation she could ; but the proceedings could not be withdrawn upon that, as two notices had been served drawing attention to the Act, and requiring the almanacks to be sent, and both had been treated with con tempt. The Learned Counsel read copies of the txo letters which had been addressed to Mr. Wright, and also Mrs. Wright's letter. Sir P. LAURIE asked if any similar proceedings had been taken against booksellers before? Mr. NN'ilde said] he under stood there had been such complaints recently at Marlborough street office, where the magistrate inflicted the full penalty of 51. -- --. Mrs. Wright said it was her own fault that the books were not sent in. Mr. Wija. replied, he was sorry that it was so, but he must press the case for the sake of example. Mrs. Wright prayed that he would not make an exsmple of her, but consider her case by itself. Mr• 41dOrUlaU MVSGROY* said the reefistratee wer• called upon to administer the law, the requirement of which, it was alleged, she had knowingly disregarded. The information having been read, Mrs. Wright 'was called upon to plead to it. She said she was guilty, certainly, but she begged to be permitted to state, in extenuation, that she had ao intention of setting the law at defiance. Her husband was a traveller, and did not sleep in Loudon thirty nights in the year. The management of the business devolved upon her, and in attending alas to her family this matter had slipped her memory. She had been in business twenty-two years, and the Museum had not had occasion to complain before. It was formerly the custom to call upon the bookseller for nine copies, which she had always delivered cheerfully, but from the letters she gathered that there was now a change, and the booksellers were required to carry their copies to the Museum. She had, upon receiving the letters, directed the shopman to leave them on the first opportunity, and she had neglected to inquire whether he had dose so. Mr. Alderman Musa aova inquired the nature of the almanac. Mr. Wilde said it contained only astrological pre dictions, but it would, perhaps, be a matter of curiosity in after times. Sir PETER LAURIE asked if the Museum enforced the deli very of a copy of every transient publication ; for instance, a song. Mr. Wilde said the Act gave a definition of a book, which would include a single printed sheet. Mr. Alderman MUSGP OYE asked if the counsel pressed for the full penalty. Mr. Wilde replied that the trustees wished to leave the amount entirely to the discretion of the magistrates. The magistrates having consulted, Mr. Alderman Musuaovx said Sir PETER felt with him a difficulty in reducing the penalty, because two notices had been sent to Mr. Wright, requiring the delivery of the books, and the trustees had been obliged to incur expense in main taining a right vested in them for the benefit of the public. They had considered the matters urged in mitigation, and could not reduce the penalty below 20s. in each case, and the value of the two almanacs. _ _ Mrs. Wright thanked the magistrates and retired. LAMBETH. William Hewitt, private secretary, as it was stated, to Mr. F. O'Connor, again attended before Mr. Henry, to answer the complaint of the officers of Lambeth parish, of neglecting to support his wife, in consequence of which she had become chargeable to them. The case stood adjourned from Saturday last, to give time to the relieving officer of Lambeth to make further inquiries as to the defendant's means and income; and also an oppor tunity for the attendance of his wife, she being too ill on Saturday to appear in Court. Mr. Bellamy said that all he had been enabled to learn was, that the defendant was in the receipt of a guinea a-week, be sides his partial board, and that he was living with another woman as his wife at a house in Lock's-fields, where he paid 3s. 6d. a week rent. Since Saturday the necessaries supplied to Mrs. Hewitt amounted to 93., and the relief supplied alto gether by the parish amounted to 1/. 6s. 6d. Mr. HENRY—Has he made any proposition as to the pay ment of that amount and the future maintenance of his wile ? Mr. Bellamy—He merely offers to settle with the parish what they have expended, and to give five shillings a week to hie wife. Mr. UINRY—Five shillings is not enough for the poor woman in the state she appears in. I should say seven shil lings is quite as little as she can do with. Defendant—l cannot give it, Sir ; all I can do at present is to pay the 17s. 6d. due up to Saturday, and to allow ss. a week. I will also pay the 9;. on Saturday next. Mr. HENRY—I don't think that sufficient. Let the wife be sworn. Mrs. Hewitt, who was obliged to be carried into Court, and who presented the the most distressing spectacle of human suffering that can well be conceived, was here sworn, and deposed that she had been married to the defendant twenty years ago, and she had one child by him, a girl now about eighteen years of age. About eight years ago her husband left her, and allowed her eight shill►ngs a week ; but, after an absence of nearly two years, he solicited her to allow him to return, and, upon (the recommendation of her friends, she permitted him to return. He, however, again left her, when he had a situation as assistant to a librarian in the House of Commons, and then for a short time gave her 12s. a week. This he soon after discontinued, and took up with a female of ill fame who used to walk the New -cut, and still lived with her as his wife. In November last she found out the residence of her husband, through a friend of hers seeing him, and he then agreed to allow her 2s. a week: This sum, owing to her affliction and suffering from an internal abscess, was totally inadequate to her support, and she felt perfectly satisfied she must have died from the want of proper necessaries had it not been for the kindness and humanity of Mr. Bellamy, the relieving officer. Mr. ligNaT thought a strong ease of neglect had been made out against the defendant, and one which the law contemplated in awarding punishment. It was sufficiently shown that he was living with another fern de as his wife, and sup porting her, whilst at the same time he had shamefully ne glected his wife, or, at least, given her such a pittance from his earnings of a guinea a week as was totally inadequate to her support in her present deplorable situation. It was also clear, as the poor woman had herself acknowledged, that she must have died from want of proper necessaries, had it not been for the kindness of the relieving officer ; and for this wilful neglect of his wife, and leaving her chargeable to the parish, he (Mr. Henry) should commit him to prison for one month. _ . The prisoner was accordingly sent to Brixton House of Cor rection for one month. ... SOUTH W ARK. A poor widow, having five children, wai brought up, charged with leaving the workhouse without giving due notice of her intention. It appeared the widow and her five children had become in mates of St. Saviour's Union some time since, soon after which the latter were sent to Mr. Aubyn's establishment at Norwood. The mother, being in health, and not wishing to remain in the workhouse, intimated her desire to quit the place, and obtain employment, by which she could m aintain herself, and also be enabled to procure some little necessaries for her children. This wish on her part, however, was met by a refusal, being informed that she must either remain in the house or take the whole of her children with her if she went out. Kno.ving that she was utterly incompetent to support such a family by her own exertions, she mentioned the impossibility of complying with such a regulation, and being tired of the place, she took an opportunity of gritting it without permission, and obtained a situation. The people of the workhouse, however, finding out where she was, had her taken into custody for absconding, leaving her children chargeable. Mr. CoTTINcHAm said that he would be sorry to punish a woman under such circumstances; that she bad no means of supporting her five children, who were sent to Norwood, and that her anxiety to procure for herself the means of exist ence, without living in the workhouse, showed that she was of industrious habits, and did not wish to be a burden on the parish. Since the above circumstances took place, it appeared the woman, being out of work, was again received into the workhouse, and some time afterwards, finding that she could again obtain employment, but that she would not be permitted to leave the house without taking her large family, she again absented herself without leave, and was a second time appre hended. Mr. Cettingham sent to make inquiries about the poor woman, and ascertained that she was honest and industrious. A female, with whom ,he worked, attended the court, and, as an instance of her industry, said that while in her employ the widow worked constantly from four o'clock in the morning until twelve o'clock at night. In reply to Mr. CoTrstsc tram, the witness said that it was needlework. She employed the widow, and that she earned at the rate of 2s. a day. Mr. COTTINGHAM said it must be awful drudgery to work so many hours for such a pittance, still the poor woman pre ferred it to remaining in the workhouse. The Magistrate again expressed his disinclination to punish the widow for quitting the workhouse enter such circumstances, and that at all events he should not carry into effect the letter of the law in her case, until he had some conversation with the guardians on the subject. The matter was, therefore, ordered to stand over for that purpose. INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES. The following is the joint report of the Inspector: of Factories just laid before both Houses of Parliament) : " Factory-office, London, June 4, 1845.

DANGEROUS SUNKEN ROCKS IN THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar, June 10, 1845. Sir,—l feel it my duty, through you, to draw the at tention of masters of vessels, passing the straits, to the two dangerous sunken rocks, Cabezos, a little to the west .... and of Tarifa and the Pearl Rock, one mile south of Point Carnero, at the entrance of this bay. Vessels are constantly lost on one or the other of these perilous rocks, which leads me to think that the notice of mer chant captains is not sufficiently called to these dangers. About ten days ago, the French vessel Irma struck on the Cabezos, and had to take refuge in this port, with five feet water in her hold, and it was with difficulty I could keep her afloat during that night, when I commenced her discharge. In the Gibraltar Chronicle, of 9th inst, sent you by this conveyance. you will per ceive by a paragraph inserted by his Excellency the Governor th'it the British barque Harper had a narrow escape of being totally lost on the dangerous sunken rock called the Pearl, off Port Carnero. It will be satisfactory to the underwriters to know that in such cases, where vessels are in distress at night, after the gates of the fortress are closed, every facility is kindly afforded to me, in having access to the bay and coast to convey assistance, by his Excellency the Gover nor, as will appear by his letter of the Bth inst., of which a transcript is enclosed.—l have the honor to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, (Signed) J. LONGSLAND COWELL, Agent for Lloyd's. To Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary to Lloyd's. GEM ENGRA.vrNo.—The committee of the Art- Union of London i❑ their last report drew the attention of the public to the neglect into which gem-engraving had fallen in this country. To follow up the subject they have now offered three premiums of 601., 301., and 151. for the best cameos in profile of the head of Minerva, having a sphinx on the helmet, in the collection of.bronzes it the British Museum. They must be cut in onyx of not less than two strata, and be at least one inch in length.— The Builder, THAMES GRAND REGATTA. SECOND DAY. This was the " gold cup" day of aquatics—that on which the grand challenge prize was to be contested. For this great race the Oxford University, the Cambridge Sub , crip , ion crew (amongst which are several resident members of these universities), the St. George's, and the Neptune had entered. Oxford, it may be remembered, had held " the mastery for a long period, up to the spring of the present year. Their " giant seven " at Henley will long live in the memory of aquatic men, and their prowess be readily acknowledged. The match of March turned the tide of fortune, and the Cantabs, who, previous to the victories of the rival university to which we have alluded, had been favoured by conquest in many a gallant struggle, redeemed their laurels. The regatta at Hen ley a fortnight since, again brought them into action, and again Cambridge was crowned with victory ; but it is but fair to the Oxonians to state, that in consequence of some of their crew not having been in the boat more than a few days, they were suffering wider disadvantages. The Thames regatta afforded the vanquished crew a third opportunity, and whether they had "steam " enough to combat successfully with the Cambridge rowers was the point to be decided. There was one more great opponent at least in the field, to say nothing of the Neptune, and this was the St. George's —a club whose exhibition at Henley of science and game proved beyond all doubt that they had made rapid strides towards perfection, and bid fair to become " the leading stars of the London river." The sport commenced at half--past three o'clock with the gentlemen scullers' contest for the silver challenge cup, the gift of Mr. J. Layton (a distinguished patron of aquatic sports), together with a silver wherry, the gift of Messrs. Makepace and Walford FIRST lIEAT. Mr. Chapman (green) Peacock (black) 2 Messrs. Some and Colquhoun were also in this heat. Mr. Chapman was the favourite. It was a beautiful race through out. Soane drove away with the lead, followed by Chapman and Colquhoun, Peacock, for some reason, not seeming to attach so much weight to the start as the others, and conse quently taking it very leisurely. They were all, however, racing near each other at a very dashing pace, but Mr. Soane could not retain his position, and shortly gave way to Colquhoun, and a beautiful race followed, in the course of which the last-named gentleman in his turn gave place to Chapman and Peacock, who, having shook off their opponents, rowed easily the rest of the way. SECOND HEAT. Messrs. Bumsted (red) Conant (purple) .. 2 Wallace (red and white) 3 Three others, Messrs. Kennedy, Russell, and Westrop, were also in this heat. On the signal being given, they all went away beautifully together ; and, after a few strokes, Mr. Conant began to show in advance, Messrs. Wallace and Bumsted being level with each other. Shortly afterwards, at a little above the Crab Tree Point, Mr. Bumsted fairly outrowed, first, Mr. Wallace, and then Mr. Conant, and went into the fit st place. It was through out a very beautiful race, and was only wen by a length; the seconi gentleman not being half a length in advance of the third. The final heat will be rowed this day. Watermen's Pair Oars, for a new Prize Wherry, presented by the Lessee of Vauxhall-gardens, with 601. added by the Thames Regatta Committee. Three heats. FIRST HEAT. J. Phelps and J. Maynard (pink) R. Coombes and Wilson (fellow) Four other pairs started—Liddy and Mossam, Bill and Perry, Godfrey and Mukipp, and Green and Braithwaite. Coombes and Wilson took the lead, followed by Phelps and partner, Messam and Liddy being third. Phelps and partner shortly rowed into the first place. Won by a length and a half. SECOND HEAT. Newell and Barrow (red and white) ... J. Doubledee and J. Everard (black) . Lett and Kepping, Shelton and Campbell, Maxwell and H. Campbell, and Dodd and Everard also contended in this heat. Newell and his partner took the lead and kept it throughout, followed by the second boat. Kepping and his partner started last, but rowed past Dodd at the point, and then by Maxwell and Campbell. GRAND HEAT. Coombes and Wilson Phelps and Maynard Newell and Barrow A rapid and even start was succeeded by Coombes and his partner taking the lead, which they held throughout, closely followed by the second and third heats ; indeed, off the malt house the winner was only a length and a half ahead of the pink, and that pair scarcely clear of black and read and white. Won by half a length. The Grand Challenge Cup for eight-oared boats (gentlemen amateurs)—Three heats ; the first b oat in the first, and the first in the second, to contend in the grand heat. This race extended from Putney-bridge to Chiswick-ait. FIRST HEAT. Cambridge University Subscription-rooms (light blue) 1 1. Rippingall 6 Hopkins 2. Shadwell 7. Arnold 3. Lockhart Hill, stroke 4.

Harrington It was an extremely interesting race, but the Cambridge were too good for their opponents. The Neptune had the Middlesex station, and on the signal being given the Neptune took a slight lead, but in the course of a few strokes they were shortly oar and oar. The pulling on both sides was very fine, the struggle for the first place being of the most plucky cha racter. , As they, neared the committee-boat Cambridge began to show the nose of their boat in advan e of their opponents, and gradually neck by neck drew away from their opponents, taking their own water opposite Rosebank Cottage; but their spirited opponents were not so easily shaken off. They conti nued hard at their work all the way up, and putting on a dash ing spirit again came close up to their adversaries; as they neared Hammersmith•-bridge Cambridge again gradually drew away, and won easily. 6.

Hughes NVilson, stroke Richards, coxswain The public sustained in this heat a disappointment which was, unfortunately, but the prelude to another. A line start was effected, and the boats darted away oar and oar with the rapidity of lightning, each crew straining every nerve to ob tain " the pride of place." As they neared the Committee boat, the Oxonians had the head of their boat about a foot in advance of their opponents, but the latter kept hard at their work, and the pulling in both boats elicited well-merited praise. Up the reach, leading to the Malt-holve, the Oxonians, who had pressed their opponents out of their course, fouled them sharply, and the St. George's immediately threw up their oars. The umpire at once decided in favour of the St. George's crew, who, of course, became enabled to row in the grand heat. The distance was rowed out. GRAND HEAT. The Cambridge Suhscription-rooms 1 The St. George's Club 0 Both boats left Putney-bridge like a shot. The rival crews pulled tremendously, and Cambridge soon began to show their head in advance, and, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of their rivals, had their length in advance off the Vice-Chan cellor's. St. George's put on an extraordinary spirit, and got, by dint of the most severe rowing, within half a length of their opponents. Up near the Crabtree it became a question whether the leading boat should pass ahead or astern of a barge, and both went astern of the craft, when ?40. 2 of the St. George's fouled the stern of the Cambridge boat. The umpires' decision was in favour of the Cambridge, who, from the circumstance of the fouling, as described, were slightly in advance. Landsmen's Four-oared Race, for a Purse-101. for the first, 10/. for the second, 5/. for the third heat. Three heats. The competitors were " roughs" of the first order, but rowed well, and conducted themselves very properly. The first heat was won by the Lambeth fishermen's crew, who were not down in the cards; Shepherd's crew, Chelsea, being second. The second heat was won by Biffen's crew, Hammersmith ; Peter's crew, Wandsworth, being second. The grand heat was won by Biffen's crew, Hammersmith (pink); Peter's crew, Wandsworth (yellow), being second. Mr. Chapman is the favourite for the silver sculls deciding heat, and a general opinion appears to prevail that the Claspers will carry off the 101 sovereigns open to all the world ; but they have, it must be remembered, two dashing crews, at least, of picked London watermen against them. The first, consist ing of Newell, Pocock, Robins, James Dodi (or Doubledee), in one heat ; and R. Coombes (the Champion of the Thames), T. Coombes, T. Gardener, and John Phelps, in another. The prizes will be presented this evening at Finch's Grand Stand, with the exception of the new wherry, given by the lessee of Vauxhall-gardens to the pair of oars watermen, which will be presented at the gardens on Friday evening. Upon a moderate calculation, there were at least 6,000 per sons present yesterday, and a very full attendance is expected to-day, there being some fine racing on the list, including the contests for the silver challenge cup. THE SCHOOL OF DESIGN. The report sets forth that each student is taught as far as possible with reference to the promotion of the particular object fur which he joined the school: further, that the more advanced students are exercised in original designs and composition, &c., and are taught to apply to various practical purposes the skill they acquire. Here would be a task for Cellini if yet alive! for the Italian arabesque painters—and Raphael himself—a glorious task for the old French designers Messonier, De la Fosse, and others of that school, or for Mercier and Lafontaine, or for such of our English architects as have made decorative design their study ; but it would at least be a task for a practical designer of twenty or thirty years' practice in the art of design for manufactures and for decorations ; so at least some people would think, but not so the Council of the School of Design. A master who had studied the ornamental art would require a salary of two or three hundred pounds ; but a portrait painter—a Spital fields' weaver—a mechanic will do the work for 1201. ; so they have sent down a portrait painter to Birming ham—a mechanic to some other part of the country — and installed, with great parade, a weaver at the Spitalfields' school of design for 1001. per year, to in struct the people in all theSe wonderful things which the report would have us believe are taught in the school. It is impossible to say what may follow : men will soon gather grapes on moors, and figs on thistles What folly in any man to give a guinea to Copley Fielding at every lesson, when any person could teach as well by showing merely a few good drawings, and at one tenth the expense; or why give 4001. with a boy to a noted architect, when any bricklayer would instruct him as well for a trifle ?—or why give so much with a boy to a respectable, clever tradesman ? The fact is, that the Council maintain that, with the various examples in the school, any man may play the master, and save the money of an experienced teacher.--The Builder. --- BATHS AND WASHHOUSE S FOR THE POOR.—The Committee have nearly concluded the purchase of a site for the first model establishment on the north side of Whitechapel, between the new street and Aldgate Church. A working model of the selected design has been prepared, and will be shortly submitted to the sub scribers. It said that arrangements will be made to enable the very poor who cannot afford any payment to wash gratuitously during the summer.—The Builder.

(From the Nonconformist, June 11, 1843. FROM A CORRESVONDENT. The Christian li ituess of the present month contains the following sentence :—" But for other agents and other instru ments (thin the Bible Society), the Bible had at this hour been as dear as when the Rev. Dr. Thomsen transmitted to the author of Jethro the outline of his glorious scheme, and when that author commenced his assault on the King's Pin ter, the universities, and the said committ ee, which lasted through eight months, and issued in the downfall of the mono poly." T "he editor of the Christian Witness is, by distinct appoint ment, Dr. Campbell, and " the author of Jethro is the same Dr. Campbell. The h uoted theref—as it goe s to the practical paragra under p stan q ding of its amounts re;ders—toorethe three following allegations : been 1. That the main reduction in the price of Bibles hist effected since the publication of Dr. Campbell's letters. 2. That the Queen's printer's monopoly has been destroyed. 3. That these two results are chiefly attributable to tlft letters of " the author of Jethro,"—that is , o f Dr. Campbell himself. The acts re tese : Feb. f 10th a , 183 h l.
