IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 19. SCUOOL ESTABLISFINIENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Sir GEORGE CLERK complimented the Noble Lord on the very masterly statement which he had just made, but he said that he had failed to remove the ob jection from his mind which he felt against this Bill. The object of the ancient fathers of the Scottish Refor mation had beea to establish a competent source of education, from which the youth of the country might receive instruction, and this had always been the ecclesiastical polity of both the Church and the Legishtture since that time. The Church had always held that where there was a church there should also be a school—they had considered that those who were the masters of religious instruction should also be the organs cf secular education to be a handmaid to religion, and it was to that system that the Scotch people owed the re putation which they had always held of being a highly moral and religious people. Still he was pre p fired to allow that one school to each parish, enjoined by the Legislature, was not sufficient to supply the wants of the increasing population, but he thought that the Noble Lord had much overstated his case. He thought his statistics were entirely erroneous. There were two other reasons, besides the want of school ac coenmodation, that prevented the spread of education iu Scotland—causes which he thought lay still deeper. In Scotland befound that there were 600,000 children be tween the age of 5 and 15, and he believed that four-fifths of the children who attended schools iu Scotland were below ten, and ho wished devoutly that something could be devised to keep them at school longer, but he thought the evil was too deep seated. There was no reason to think that there was any deficiency of desire on the part of the people of Scotland to hold out pecu niary aid to the cause of education in that country; and he could assure the House that education had in reality greatly increased in the last few years. He was not unaware of, the great efforts of the Frea Church of Scotland in this cause, and he had no wish to underrate them; but he was afraid that in many cases schools bad been built ,out of a spirit of rivalry, and a wish to draw scholies'froui Schools already existing. He quite agreed with hie N - 6lale Priend that schoolmasters in Scotland were not sufficiently well paid, and he believed that there would be no objection to a moderate increase in their salaries throughout the country.—(Elear, hear.) He thought it would be acknowledged that t his. Bill did not meet with general approbation in Scotland. When those schools were conducted on such a liberal principle as to admit the children of every class of per sons without offending their conscientious religious scruples, and when they gave security that religious in struction-should be given in those schools from which no class of persons in Scotland differed, a very strong case should be made out before the Howse disturbed a system of education which had hitherto worked so well. He entirely objected to the principle of the Noble Lord's Bill, because it proposed to give some reli gious education in the schools t ) which no person could object, or becauseit excluded from the schools the teach ing of religion as an essential part of the education given in them. He .objectectto the main principle of the Noble Lord's Bill, which principle was to sever the connexion between the Established Church and the parochial !chools. That was the main object of the Noble Lord's .• . . . Bill;. that was the only portion of the Bill which was positively. enacted. It put an end to the superintendence of the Church over those schools. It no longer ren dered it necessary that the schoolmaster should be a member of the Established Church. Ho (Sir George Clerk) would' say; 'whatever the House did let them do: in the way of encouragement; the Church of Scotland looked with no jealousy on the aid which had been,given to the Free Church or any other schools in Scotland.. The voluntary principle was work ing . 1.!ell at.the present moment in Scotland; large sums of money were constantly being raised under the in fluence. .chat principle by the landed proprietors and by the 'General Assembly itself. There had been voluntary collections made in the schciols connected with the Established . Church amounting to nearly 20,000/.".. .This Bill did'not necessarily provide an addi tion 4 school; it did nothing itself to meet any deficiency whiph,..might eXiSt in the education now given. He would -entreat the House to leave the question of parecl4l schools untouChetl. He implored the House, hortever much they wished to see education ex tended in. .Scotland -- and no person could be more desirous to see it extended than himself— to leave intact the present excellent system of education in Scatland 'Which had so long been carried on under its parochial schools. With those observations he should move that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. FERGUS supported the second reading of the ' Bill. 'there were matters of detail embodied in the Bill ' which he thoueht might hereafter be corrected in a Com mittee of the House; but the principles which he found in this 'Bill were two; in the first place it instituted a ' popular control over the schools, and in the second place it repealed all religious testa as a qualification fur the schoolmaster.—(Hear, bear.) To those principles he was ready to give his most cordial assent. He believed they were principles which would find acceptance among the great body of the people of Scotland, and wore principles which lay at the root of all just legislation on this subject. He maintained that the influence which had been exercised key the clergy of the Church of Scotland had done nothing of itself for the parochial schools ; and he thought it was a great question for the House to consider whether, iu the pre sent" position of the Church of Scotland, the House would give to the clergy of the Established Church ad diticinat powers of control over those schools. Mr. - OSWALD opposed the Bill. He affirmed that the House was not in possession of that information Which was absolutely necessary to ei;able it to deal with so niomentous a question as this. He a-ked the House if it was prepared to root up the system of education which John Knox began•in Scotland, which had existed for many centuries, and which was the pride of their revolutionary eittlemeut, and throw all that to the eind4, because , the Noble Lord (Lard Molgund) thought proper to come down to that House and make a very able speeeh df one hour? He (lir. Oswald) objected to this Bill, because 'it enacted a total severance of religion from the instruction of the .young ; and he would therefore support the-amendment of his Hon. Friend (Sir George Clerk). Mr, FOX MAULE said the question involved in this , debate was, whether or no the present system of e lucation, as. established by law, was adequate to the ;vents of the people; but, nevertheless, ho felt it tee be his duty to confine his observations to the principle of this Bill only. This was not the time for discussing its details. Now, what was the princi ple ? .The preamble stated that the present means of education in Scotland were inadequate to the wants of the people, and that was the point which he now pro posed to confine himself to. Were the means sufficient was the 9uestion he felt called upon to decide, and in answering it he should endeavour to avoid anything which might' seem like hostility to the parochial schools of Scotland. Years ago there was but one system of educatibn in Scotland, and that was regulated by the Established Church, but in 1811 the people began to forsake the' Establishment for the Free Church, and in 1843 that separation was completely effected. The Established Church was now in the minority, and it was therefore preposterous to say that any national sys tem of education should be under its guidance alone. Now the Bill was not intended to destroy the parochial echoola; if it were it would have met with uo support from him, but the fact was, it was proposed with the view of reforming these schools. At present a gentleman could not be a master of one of these schools who was not connected with the Established Church, a rule which stood greatly in the way of the education of the people, and one of the first objects of this Bill was to do away with that restriction. Its existence- could not prevent the estab• lishment of free church schools, for within the last few years there were 730, and one of the objections urged against these schools was, that they embraced no plan of religious teaching. He for one denied t , i r at the children in th e sc h oo l s esta b l i shed b y the Chinchee than those which supplied the parochial schools with scholars. The fact was the children being edu cated in the schools of the Free Church belonged chiefly to parentis who had seceded from the Established Church, and in order to increase the usefulness of the parochial schooli the Le gislature must give the people some control over the were to teach in them. At all events, unless something w were done in the . yeas propesed by this Bill, they wo uld same mariner as find things growing from beclwlitoiciromrsueltanadriesve.entually the evils and difficulties m would . b ec ome almost insurmountable. Th ere was no part of the kingdom so favourable to a uniform system of edu cation as :Wetland, and entertaining that opinionßihne. should vote for the second read ing of this He saw clearly that unless the House interfered the abuses of the existing system would get beyond the limits of a remedy, and he therefore entreated the House to adopt this Bill;' with the view of having it referred to the consideration of a Select Committee. Mr. CUAIAIING BRUCE said it had been t h e boast of Scotland that her system of education was closely connected with religion. It was no w proposed t o change that system for a plan whic h was s ai d to be now in operation in America. The change was justified, on the ground that the new systems wh i c h would be altogether disconnected with religion, w as cal culated to make children good citizens. Now, if were • to judge by the experience which they they had ,had of the -plan in America, he did not believe that it WO any improvement on the existing system. /wall events, the present system, had never produced a body of citizens who could arm such an expedition as that which they had recently heard of as sailing against Cuba. He did not deny that there was room efor reform in the present system, but he would be no part to any proposal which would have the effect of separating that system from religion, teed he should therefore vote for the amendment. • ' Mr. MACGUEGQli,intended to vote for the second reading of this Bill, but; he should reserve to himself the right of objecting to some of its details in Committee. The present system of education had pro duced much good in Scotland, and it had been equally productive in America. With regard to the observation of the last speaker, that the system had never pro duced an expedition like that which had recently de scended upon Cuba, he must take leave to remind that Hon. Gentleman '_hat the expedition did not sa i l from New England, which was the only part of the States where the Scotch system of education had been adopted. In point of fact it was fitted out by a stato that maintained slavery and supported no system of education whatever. The House then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment 100 Against it 94 Majority against the 1311 . 1 ..• —6 The Bill was accordingly thrown out. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL. Mr. BEOCKLEUURST pretested ti petition, learing above 600 signatures, from a very valuable and large society of Odd Fellows at Macclesfield, pying for the introduction of powers in the Friendly Societies Bill, by which the society at Macclesfield may govern itself by a majority instead of by three-fourths of its members. After a large number of petitions had been presented suggestingin favour of this Bill, and suggesting alterations, Mr. SOTHERON rose to move that it be read a second time. The Bill, he said, was one in which the working classes of this country took a great interest. He did not think it was generally known that the great mass of the industrious population of the country was enrolled in some benefit society or other. There were no less than 14.000 enrolled benefit societies, with 116,000 members. The societies enrolled and unenrolled numbered no less than 33,000, with 3,052,000 members, and a capital amounting to 4,980,0001. Now, by the last census the number of males above the age of twenty one in the United Kingdom was 6,300,000, so that at least a clear half of that portion of the population were interested in some way or other in the subject to which this Bill related. The Bill consisted of two parts : the latter part related to societies already enrolled. He did not in any way interfere with the constitution of these societies. He simply consolidated the law which had reference to their enrolment. The other part was entirely a new enactment, which he was very anxious should receive the serious consideration of the House. Every branch of her Majesty's subjects were entitled to the protection of the law ; and in preparing this new law, he was asking the House to confer no privilege upon any class, but simply to do an act of justice. The first part of the Bill, in fact, only legalised those societies such as the Odd Fellows, which were now reiused the right of enrol ment. The present working of the law was most unjust, leading as it naturally did to the committal of fraud, and laying unoffending parties open to great oppression. He proposed by this Bill to remedy that state of things, and enable such societies to be enrolled, and their various branches should be regis tered upon the payment of certain moderate fees, which were specified in the Bill. He proposed to deal with loan societies in this way. They would be required to enrol the names of trustees in whom the ' property should be invested, to appoint a register or secretary and a board of management, which should at all times be open to the members. He proposed further that all societies of a friendly character which made use of signs and ceremonies should be exempted from the operation of the Corresponding Societies Act so long as they abstained from using their privileges for politi cal purposes. The simple purpose, indeed, of the first part of the Bill was to give these societies a legal status in the eye of the law. With regard to burial societies, be proposed to deal with them in a manner which should have toe effect of removing some of the evil practices that sometimes prevailed in those societies. The House might perhaps ask him what guarantee he could give that this Bill should not be made use of for the purpose of shielding bankrupt and improper societies? Well, he would tell the House how he guarded against that contingency. He proposed that:every society which took advantage of this Bill should be bound to make annual returns to Parliament of their receipts and ex penditure, and the number and character of their mem bers, and. the purpose to which the fends were applied. That provision in the Bill, he was confi dent, would effectually check fraud or malpractices, and with that restriction or guarantee he hoped the ' 1 House would have no hesitation in adopting the first part of the Bill. Some objections had been taken to some of the provisions of the Bill, and if the House would allow the Bill to be read a second time, and go through Committee pro forma, the principal objections to the measure might be argued on a future occasion. He was Ingst anxious to make the Bill as little objec tionable as possible. His firm belief was that some suck measure as the one he proposed was neces sary for the benefit of the industrious and well conducted members of the community, and their in terest and their good was the only object he had in view in proposing this measure. Mr. COCKBURN with great satisfaction seconded the motion for the second reading of the Bill, because he believed it would have the effect of securing to the working' classes of the community those savings and comforts which their prudence had provided for them. Mr. ROEBUCK thought the measure so impore cant that the Government ought to take into their own hands the conduct of this measure, in order to put an end to all doubt, and to give to the working classes an assurance that their rights were secure, and that year after year measures would not be introduced calculated to throw doubt and difficulty upon the matter. He believed that the measure of the Hon. Member was founded upon sound principles, but he, as an individual Member, could nut do that which the Government had the power to do. He called upon the Government to take the measure on their own hands, and thereby assure the working classes that they would not be deceived. Mr. P. SCROPE approved generally of the object of the Bill, but he thought that some assurance should be made that the tables in which calculations were made with respect to these societies were correct. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not consent to the proposal of the lion. and Learned Member for Sheffield, that the Govern ment should take charge of the measure. He thought it far better that it should proceed from private Members. He felt that there were many objections to the measure, but these objections might be remedied in Com mittee. He thought it, therefore, but fair and right that the Bill should be read a second time, as its details might then be discussed in Committee. - Mr. SLANEY supported the second reading of the Bill, and in doing so thanked the Hon. Member who had brought it forward for the trouble and care ho had taken in drawing it up and bringing it forward. His only doubt was whether the 13i11 was sufficiently extensive. He thought that a summary mode against fraud ought to be given in the Bill, which he believed would be a great boon and henefit to the industrious classes of the country. Mr. ADDERLEY said the objections to the measure taken by the Hon. Member opposite were provided for by the Bill. • Tte Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. BOROUGH BRIDGE BILL. This Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1850 r Captain DaNell is the agent for Lloyd's at Stranraer. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 19, HALF-PAST Two P.M.—The steamer Fenella, from Fleetwood to Tronn, has called into Port Patrick, and took away many of the passen gers saved from the wreck of the Orion, hence to Glas gow, lost off Port Patrick. The following is a list of those known to bc saved up to two P.M.:—Messrs. Kelso, Fleming, Hugh, Miller, jun., of Ayr, Geo. Miller, Duncan, Dsnnock, hid tone, Connack, Misses Ferguson and Suter, Mr. and Mrs. Merrilies and family, Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone and family, Captain Henderson, and Mr. Langlands, mate. Among those known to be drowned are:—Dr. Burns, of Liverpool, and his niece, Miss Morris, Mr. Moss, shipbroker, of Liverpool. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—A COM munica don, dated Glasgow, Wednesday, 3 P.m. ' has been re ceived here. It states that the steam-ship Princess Royal had just reached Glasgow. She called at Portpatrick, and brought up several passengers. The news brought by her states that upwards of 100 passengers were saved, amongst whom, in addition to the names already given, were Mr. and Mrs. G. Thompson, Captain Vatuor and lady, Mr. Patterson, Miss Woolfield, Mr. Lyall and son, Mr. and Miss Henderson, Mr. Anderson, and Miss E. Duncan. At the time the Princess Royal left Pertpa i trick twenty-five bodies lead been recovered. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have to report another inanimate day in yarns. Although the advises by the overland mail show the Bombay and Calcutta markets to be in a healthy position as regards the supply and the demand for most kinds of twist, yet the merchant. find no inducement, in the attainable prices, to add much, at the present cost, to the shipments already on the way. The German and Mediterranean buyers have operated only to a limited extent, still they have done more, on the whole, than they did last Tuesday. The home manufacturers finding, in the demand for goods, no encouragement to increase their present considerable surplies ' at least the medium numbers of twist and weft, have given out very few orders. In the various articles referred to, whether for ex portation or for home use, there prevails, however, a general steadiness of price; the buyers meeting with no more than such a trifling advantage as the difference betwixt an active and a quiet market may, here and there, throw in their way, at a time when producers aro remarkably free from stocks, and, there fore not particularly anxious to sell. As re gards the better qualities of yarn, say from Nos. 60's, upwards, we continue to have, in addition to a good home consumption, an improved demand, at still harden• ing prices, on Russian account. In the department of goods, we have to notice the continuance of that course of improvement in fustians and domestics which we have latterly had to record. Printing cloths are pretty steady in value, though less actively called for than they were a short time since. But the dulness in 40-inch shirtings, has been rather aggravated by the eastern intelligence, from which it appears that an ex cess of supply is weighing upon prices; and there ap pears to be but little encouragement to send out other descriptions of cloth under existing circumstances. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a fair average business doing in the flannel market today, at prices much the same as those of last Monday. The wool market has been rather quiet, with no change in prices. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no new feature noticeable in the manufacturing trade of this town. A few buyers have visited us during the week, but only a limited business has been done. Trade gene rally is dull, and many weavers are waiting for work. We observed, on a former occasion, the bad effects of preparing goods, not for a legitimate demand of trade, but simply for consignments to agents for ad vances. This system of business has been pursued by some of the small houses which have lately failed to a considerable extent; and the frightful sacrifices made to effect sales to cover advances, some of which have been brought to light by the recent expo sures in the Court of Bankruptcy, show at once the disastrous competition to which the honest trader has been subjected. There is fair inquiry for thrown silk; but prices do not yet harmonise with those of the raw material. There has been considerable business done in China silks during the last week; about 1,200 bales are reported sold, in some cases at slightly improved rates. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market here is still flatter than last week's. There has been leas doing in each branch of manufacture than before. The wool market is also flat., on account of the present London sales. HALIFAX, SATIIRDAY.—The worsted trade remains in pretty much the same state as reported in our last; and, with respect to yarn, the demand continues good, at improving prices. There is a little more activity in the wool market, and the quotations are rather looking upward. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—SiTICO our last report, we have had a good market at the Cloth Halls, and also a large quantity of goods have been delivered direct to the ware. houses. Makers keep their stocks very low, and there is no change in prices. There is also a good business doing in the warehouses for the home trade, and the shipping houses continue busy. TUE GREAT CENTRAL GAS COMPANY.—CITY COURT OF SEWERS.—On Tuesday the Commissioners assem bled at the Guildhall; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. The principal business stated in the summons was "to con sider a motion of which notice had been given by Mr. Deputy Harrison, that permission be given to the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company to lay down their mains and pipes in the streets to be repaved immediately before the repavement takes place." A great deal of interest was ex cited by the proceedings, and, after much d i scuss ion, the question, was put, and only three hands being held up against the motion to give the company permission to lay down the mains and pipes in the secondary streets of the City in the day-time, the Chairman declared the proposition car ried. The surveyor was then instructed to take the neces sary steps for ascertaining that the public ways are properly opened, and duly repaired afterwards, in accordance with the te rms of the co n tr ac t between the company and the commissioners. The works arc to commence upon the most extensive scale immediately, and the workmen are to be em ployed day and night until the whole of the mains and pipes are laid down. CONVICT ESTABLISHMENT AT DARTMOOR.--We last week stated that Colonel Jebb, the Inspector-General of Prisons, accompanied by Captain Groves, inspected the Dart • moor Prisons, which have remained useless since they were employed for the skeitinernent of prisoners in tbl4. understand these gentlemen have most favourably recom mended these prisons as a place of confinement for convicts, and that preparations for the reception of 500 are to be forthwith. made. This opinion was the more readily adopted. in consequence of the result of an Interview which Colonel Jebb had, at the request of Sir George Grey, with Mr. Fowler, who carries on extensive, and, it is said, profitable farming operations on Dartmoor. It is intended that the convicts shall be employed in agricultural labour. About one moiety of the prisons will be required; the other half is in the occupation of a local naptha company. who have re cently sold their interest to the Messrs. Hill, - of Deptford, large manufacturers of naptha, who will keep the works at Prince Town in full opersttion.—Devonport Independent. Name of Company.

(From the North British Mail of Tuesday.) To attempt to account for the loss of this noble vessel on a fine night on our own shores, within a short dis tance of the land, where every stone should be Li:thistly known to those in charge, is. at present impossible; but we have no doubt that the most searching investigation will be made by the owners into a casualty which has eventuated in such an awful sacrifice of human life. The rock on which the Orion struck is some distance from the shore, and passed through the vessel princi pally in her inidship compartment, breaking the engines to pieces; and within less than ten minutes from the time she struck, the Orion was at the bottom. The only persons as yet known as being among the drowned, are Dr. Burns and the steward. " WK. EWING, ESQ. ",0a board tho Finnella Steamer, off Port Patrick, Tuesday, 6 A. M.

In th eboat, a n umber of ladies were put , and the y reached the shore in sakty. In the meantime, the vessel gradually filled with water, and the crew and passengers were left float ing on the surface of the calm wat..A.s. As soon as the accident was discovered from the shore a number of floats put off, and picked up all that could be seen floating on the loose portions of the wreck, or swimming towards the shore. The wreck lies with the roasts and funnel vertical and half out of the water ; and to the rigging several of the survivors clung until they were relieved. The place where the wreck lies is not 130 yards from the shore, and quite close to the lighthouse of Port- Patrick. At the time the Fenella left, only nine of the bodies Earl be e n r e co v ere d. Such was the awful consternation and excitement amongst the survivors, after the catastrophe, that very few particulars beyond those already stated could be learned. Our informant mentioned that amongst the were a fath er , mo th er , an d t w o daughters; the two e ons were saved, and o ne o f the d a ughters reached shore , b ut died soon aft er b e i ng b roug ht t o the hotel. drowned Every one on board the Fenella were amazed at the occurrence of the.wreck, a 3 the night had been beauti fully clear, and the sea as calm as a pond; and they could only account for the untoward event, by sup posing that the officer of the watch had endeavoured to pass between the well-known sunken reckon which she struck, and the shore. It would be imprudent to give the names of any of those lost, until they can be authenticated; and at pre sent the only two actually known are those already men tioned. _ _ The Tartar steam-packet, belonging to Messrs. Burns, leaves the Broomielaw the moment she Smits, with Mr. James Burns and Captain Douglas, the marine superin tendent of the company, the engineer, and other officers, for the purpose of making every effort to save the vessel and recover the bodies, &c. She likewise carriee with her a quantity of clothing, blankets, provisions, &c., for those of the survivors who may stand in need of these necessaries; and like wise a number of coffins for the bodies of the drowned. The number of passengers on board the ill-fated ves sel is now calculated to have been from 140 to 150, of whom only fifteen wore steerage. The latter would have the best chance of being saved, as they were on deck at the time of the catastrophe. It is ascertained that every cabin berth bad been taken as well as every sofa; and the veisel was consequently crowded with cabin passengers. The greater number of passengers were saved by clinging to those portions of the wreck which remained above water. _ _ The Orion was originally fitted up with water-tight bulk heads, and thereby divided into four or five com partments, and it has therefore been a matter of surprise that there should not have been the means of keeping the vessel afloat. The probability, however, is, that she struck so severely that the central compartments, which give the greatest buoyancy, were all completely st we in. The following letter to the Messrs. Burns, from Capt. Henderson, the commander of the vessel, has just been placed at the bar of the Exchange, with a prefatory notice by these gentlemen, that " it is the only informa tion they have as yet received:"— " Port Patrick, June 8, 1850. " Messrs. J. and G. Burns. " Gentlemen,—lt has become my painful duty to an nounce to you that the Orion struck the rocks a little to the northward of this place this morning at about a quarter past one, and instantly filled, and sunk in seven fathoms water. From the moment she first struck the engines became useless, and I found it impossible to run her on shore to save the lives of the passengers. I very much fear the loss of life is great, but at present I can not ascertain the particulars. " I have forwarded those passengers who aro in a fit state to be removed, via Troon to Glasgow. " I am exceedingly sorry to state that Dr. Burns is among the drowned. His body is now in safe keeping till I know your wishes. " I send this to you by Mr. Langlands, my chief officer, to whom I beg to refer you for particulars. " Captain Dulzell* is on the spot, and has written to the underwriters. " I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " THOMAS HENDERSON." Mr. Fleming, one of the survivors, stated that he was aroused from his sleep by the shock of the concussion, and bis first impression was that a collision had taken place. As soon as he tumbled out of bed he found the mate rushing into the cabin; and before he had time to dress, beyond drawing on his trousers, the water was up to his knees. He immediately rushed upon deck, and soon found himself afloat amidst the crowd of passen gers. He fortunately clung to the rigging of one of the topmasts, and was thus providentially saved. Captain Henderson, the commander of the Orion, and his first mate, both remained at the scene of the wreck, to give every aid to the unfortunate passengers, and t , ) use every effort to recover any of the property that could be saved. Almost all the survivors were in a state of all but nudity, and they were unable to procure the requisite clothing to enable them to come forward by the Fenella, although the captain gave all the clothes he could spare to cover them. PRICES OF SHARES :N BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COAT• COSIPANIES' STOCK. From the Official List. PUBLISIIED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING. LONDON, TUESDAY, JUN J'Ot2o'' WORSHIP-STREET. Joseph Wood, a middle-aged man, of dissolute ap pearance, described as a cabinet maker, was brought up before Mr. Arnold in the custody of the police, charged with the following series of brutal and un provoked assaults upon a poor woman named Eliza beth Faucit The complainant, a delicate-looking woman, whose face was shockingly contused, one of her eyes being bruised all round, and the other blackened, puffed up like a ball, and entirely closed, stated, —My husband having deserted me a long time ago, leaving me per 'entity destitute, I was induced by the prisoner, about two years since, to live with him as his wife, but, in consequence of his jealousy and cruel conduct to wards me, have more than once been obliged to leave him. Upon each occasion I did so, he swore that he could not live without me, that I must live with him as long as we lived, and declared, if I did not come hack to him, that he would murder me. The last rime was on Saturday last, but he renewed his ill usage of toe again on the following morning, when,. whilst I was in bed, be. called me an opprobrious epithet, and struck me three or four heavy blows on the face with great rapidity, one of them between the eyes, which severely bruised one of them, and caused the blood to pour down so profusely as to completely soak my clothes, and, when I entreated him to desist from his cruelty, he finished oy kicking me with great force on several parts of my body. On Monday he again renewed his vio lence, and, being in great danger of my life, I came down to this court to procure a warrant against him ro insure my protection, which was to have come on for hearing to-day, but he did not make his appear ance to answer it; and, after waiting a couple of hours, I was about to leave the court, when, just as I ' , lad got outside, he suddenly rushed upon me, struck me several terrible blows in the face, and reduced my ,eft eye tq the state in which it now appears. Mr. ARNOLD (to the prisoner)—What explanation have you to give of such an unmanly outrage ? Prisoner (in the most cool and deliberate man ner)—Nothing at all, Sir; I have struck her in the way she describes, and I do not wish at all to deny it, and am perfectly satisfied to endure all the punish • :vent that the law can inflict upon me for it. If I have to undergo a twelvemonth's imprisonment I ;hall go through my hard labour without complaint, and I am glad that this has taken place, as now there will be an effectual separation between us, and if I meet her ever so often in the street she will be a per fect stranger to me for ever after. I have done all I could to render her happy, and I know, if something is not done to me, that she will have to be here again in a week or so, as I have before been imprisoned for her, and should be again ; but not now. After I had beaten her the last time she appeared reconciled to me, and I was drinking some beer with her when I was served by the officer with her summons. This hurt me very much, and, as I have always had a great dread of appearing at a police-court, when I now found that I must do so, I swore a solemn oath that I would not rest in my bed until I had had re venge, and I have not done so. I came down to this court at the time appointed, to watch for her return from it, and just as I saw her coming along from the steps I determined to myself that I would strike her two or three blows as hard as I could, and hid my self behind a cart until she came up towards me, when I rushed out upon her and struck her violently, and the policeman, I believe, was present and saw me do it. I have had my revenge, and am now perfectly tranquil and easy in my mind, and will willingly un dergo, without a murmur, whatever punishment or sentence you think proper to inflict upon me. Mr. ARNOLD listened to this deliberate declaration with much astonishment, and then indignantly said, —You are certainly, without exception, the most audacious and hardened ruffian who ever came before me, and I regret exceedingly that the powers I am invested with as a magistrate are so wholly incompe tent to deal with a case of such shocking brutality. To leave this poor woman, in her destitute state, to indict you at the sessions, would be worse than use lesi, and I shall therefore deal with you with as much severity as I can. I shall sentence you to pay the full penalty of 51. for the first assault upon her, or in default commit you to the House of Correction for two months, and a similar amount of penalty or im prisonment for the second attack upon her at this court, the second term of imprisonment— Prisoner (coolly finishing the sentence)—Not to commence till the expiration of the first ? Mr. ARNOLD—Yes, to take effect at the expiration of the first ; and I shall further order you to enter into your own recognizance in the sum of 201. to be of peaceable behaviour towards her for the next twelve months.. Prisoner—l am perfectly content with that ; I shall undergo the punishment with great pleasure. lle was then removed from the bar by the gaoler, and as he passed the complainant he looked at her with a smile of complacency, and observed—" It is only for four months—only four months." LAMBETH. Mr. Henry Page, a master bricklayer, who had been in custody since Monday, was placed at the bar on a charge of administering something of a delete rous nature to Mrs. Emma Clark, and also contract ing a marriage with her, she being at the time a mar ried woman, so that they committed a double act of bigamy. Mrs. Clark, a sickly looking woman, upon being sworn deposed, that she lived with her husband, Henry Clark, at No. 10, Joiner-street, Westminster , road, and had known the prisoner several years. About two months ago she made known to the pri soner that she should inform her husband that she had married him two years ago, if he did not keep away from her, and • he then told her that her hus band should never have her; that his brother was laying a plot for a lady, and that if she could be got out of the way he would be safe. Last Thursday, about 12 o'clock, her uncle, whose name is Fielder, dame to her husband's house, and requested her to accompany him to the Carpenter's Arms, near West-square. She did so, and there saw the prisoner, and Fielder, in his presence, addressing her, said, "Now, I want you to make up your mind as to matters ; whether you are going to live with your husband, or whether you are going abroad with Mr. Page?" but she could not recollect then what she said in reply. They went from there to a beer-shop, and all three sat there for about an hour, and from there they came back to the Two Eagles public-house, near West-square, where they had dinner, and there her uncle Fielder left them, saying he should leave them to settle the mat ter as to what they would do. The prisoner took her from there to the Ship public-house, near Walcot square, where they had a pint of beer in the tap room. They went from there to a coffee-house, where they had some tea. While in this place the prisoner said, "It don't lie in my power to take vou abroad ; will you go with me down to Liverpool ?" and she replied that she did not mind. He then tokl her she must go home and get her things. At the coffee-house the woman of the house brought the teapot to her, (witness,) and desired her to pour the water into it, and she did so. Soon after she poured out a cup for herself and one for the pri soner, but was unable to say whether he had drunk his or not. She left the prisoner for the purpose cf going home to get her things, and intending to meet bim at the Flowerpot, in Bishopsgate-street, as it was arranged. On leaving her hu , band's house, and while on her way to Lambeth-stairs to proceed to London-bridge by water, she felt a curious sensation come over her, and so completely lost her senses that she had no recollection of what happened to her until next day. In reply to the'questions of Mr. ELLIOTT, the wit ness said she had drunk a good deal of ale and beer, and two glasses of gin, and so lost herself at Lam beth.pier that she wandered about all that night, and did not get home until next day, when she was in a state of madness. In her cross-examination by Mr. Solomons, who attended for the prisoner, the witness said she first became acquainted with the prisoner about four years ago. She had been ailing before Thursday last, but neither her illness nor the beer and gin she had drunk would produce the effects which she had experienced. She did not feel ill until after bhe had taken the tea, and when leaving the prisoner he gave her ss. tc, get her things and enable her to get to the Flowerpot, where the prisoner was to have met her. She was not taken ill so as to lose her senses until she had reached Lambeth pier. She did not vomit, and did not think that her illness was produced by the gin and beer she had taken. She had two children, and, notwithstanding this, she had made up her mind to abscond from her husband and desert her two children. _ _ Clark, the husband of the last witness, said he had not seen his wife from the Thursday morning until the Friday evening, when he found her at his house, raving mad. He fetched a doctor to her, and she afterwards told him that she had been married on the 10th of February, 1848, to the prisoner, at Poplar Church.' Mary King said she attended Mrs. Clark on Fri day last, when she first saw her in a state of madness, and then in a state of stupor, and by the advice of the doctor they were obliged to keep her walking about all night. Mr. Thomas D. Donohoe, surgeon, Westminster road, deposed that about half-past ten o'clock on Friday night last he was called in to Mrs. Clark, and found her in a state of stupor, from the effects of opium. He did not think it necessary to use the stomach-pump, as it was evident that the poisonous matter had been taken some time, so as to effect the system, and recommended that she should be kept moving about, and take some strong coffee. He did not think that gin or beer would produce the ap pearances under which Mrs. Clark laboured when he saw her ; and it was his opinion that she must have taken some opium ; it might have been an hour or two before. Mr. Solomons here requested the prosecutrix to be recalled, and in reply to his questions she said that she did not observe the prisoner interfere in making the tea, and she could not say that he had not taken the cup she had poured out for him. The time she had left the prisoner was about half-past eight o'clock on the Thursday, and the time she had ap pointed to meet him at the Flowerpot was ten o'clock. Mr. Solomon% —Has the prisoner ever slept at the house of your husband, and with his consent ? Wit ness—Yes, sir. _ _ _ Mr. S3lomons—Has he not slept in the very room in which yourself and your husband also slept ? Witness—Yes, once ; when he said his wife turned him out of doors. I had made up my mind to go to Liverpool with the prisoner. Mr. ELLIOTT thought there was an end of the case as regarded the charge of poisoning, and desired that Mrs. Clark should be placed in the dock along side the prisoner on a charge of bigamy, as it was quite clear she was as guilty of the charge of bigamy as he was. Mrs. Clark was accordingly placed at the bar, and instantly entered into a whispering conversation with her fellow-prisoner ; but the magistrate desired they should be kept apart. D. Brions, 120 M, deposed that after the prisoner had been given into his custody by Mr. Clark, be called to see Mrs. Clark, and ascertain if she was in a fit state to attend at this court, and found that she was not. She was in bed, and informed him (witness) that she had been married to the male prisoner on the 10th of February, 1848, at All Saints Church, Poplar, in the name of Emma Smith, and that the clerk and pew-opener were the two witnesses. Mr. John Philo, clerk at All Saints Church, Poplar, produced the register of marriages there; and, on the 10th of February, 1848, there appeared an entry of marriage between Harry Dixon and Emma Smith, which was witnessed by himself ar.d Frances Baggis, who was then pew-opener, but was since dead. He could not identify the prisoners as the persons who had been married on that particular day, but had no doubt whatever that they had been married at Poplar Church. Mr. Solomons contended, that inasmuch as the per sons were married at the time the marriage was a perfect nullity. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that this might be with re spect to the legality of the marriage, but it did not disprove the charge of bigamy. The case, he ad mitted. was one of a very peculiar character; and, in order to give the officers further time to collect the necessary evidence, he should remand the prisoners for a week. On the application of Mr. Solomons, the male pri soner was admitted to bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—AMS Ellis and Mary Arai Shean were placed at the bar before Mr. Biugharu, charged with stealing from the person of Elizabeth Jelly a purse, containing a sovereign and 7s. 6d. in silver. The prosecutrix deposed, that she was a servant, and resided at No. 4, Langharn-place. On the previous evening, about eight o'clock, she was leaving her master's house, when the two prisoners came up and asked her the way to the British Museum. She directed them as well as she could, and while speaking to them she felt the prisoner Ellis withdraw her hand quickly from her pocket. Not suspecting anything wrong, she took not the slightest notice of this, but on the prisoners suddenly running off she was induced to feel in her pocket, when she found that her purse, containing IL 7s. 6d., had been abstracted there from. She immediately went in pursuit of the prisoners, and at the corner of Chandos-street she saw them talk ing to a man. Directly they saw her they separated, and the two prisoners darted down Chandos-mews, where she lost sight of them • but while she was inquir ing of some stable-men whether they had seen them, she saw them coming from an entry leading to some rooms. She immediately went and taxed them with robbing her, which they stoutly denied. As she was positive they had stolen her purse, she called a constable, and gave them in charge. Neither the purse nor the money has been found. The prisoners, who ate connected with the swell mob, were remanded. SINGULAR CHARGE OF THEFT.—Charles Jones was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a horse and cab from a cab-rank in Oxford street, under the following circumstances:— Jaws Hartland, a cab-driver, stated that yesterday morning, about two o'clock, he had occasion to leave his horse and cab on the rank in Oxford-street for about three minutes, and on his return he found that some person had driven away with it. He made inquiries of the other cabmen, and from the information he received from them he was induced to proceed to the Haymarket, where he saw the prisoner on the box of his (witness's) cab, plying for hire. Directly the prisoner caught sight of him he jumped off the cab, and ran away as fast as he could down Piccadilly. Witness jumped on the box of the cab, and drove after him as far as the White Horse Cellar, where he was stopped by a police-constable. Witness then gave him in charge for stealing his horse and cab. The prisoner, in defence, said he was hard up for the want of bread, and seeing the complainant's cab was un attended, he thought he might borrow it for an hour or so, in order to raise a shilling for his family. As there are other cases of a similar nature against the prisoner, Mr. Bingham decided on remanding him till Monday next. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY, DIVIDENDS.

LAW INTE LLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S I3ENCH, June If. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westm inster , before Lord CAM P BELL and a Special Jury.) TEE QUEEN V. LORD DIINBOYNE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Cocknua N , in his address to the jury on the pai t of the defence, characterised the pre sent indi ctment as the most cru e l proceeding that had come within his pro fessional experience, seeing that Lord Dunboyne, whom he had the honour of representing, was now 80 years of age, and on th e verge o f t h e g rave, and that the lady who m he had marri e d, and with respect to which marriage thi s indictment was preferred, was now removed fro m this world. He conten d e d t h at what had been done by Lord Dunboyne this caw was nothing more than what took place every day in the inarriae;es of Roman Catholics, who were now in the hatic s.f being married in the fir s t i nstance at the. Superintendent Registrar's offi ce a nd then go ing immediately afterwards to be a second time married in a Roman Catholic chinch. At that second marriage they denied tho first, on th e groun d that being only a civil contract it was not a marriage in the eyes of the Roman Catholic a sacrament. He submitted that no . one would church, which regarded marriage es think of indicting any of th a parties to the marriages for having on the second marriage at the Roman Catholic church denied that which took place at the Superintendent Registrar's office. The Learned Counsel also cited the case of the late Lord Eldon, who having been married in Scotland was subsequently married in England, on which last marri age he described himself in the marriage register as " John Scott, bachelor," and his lady as "Elizabeth Surtee:, spinster," notwithstanding they had previously con tracLed a valid marriage by the law of Scotland. Lied CAMPBELL having summed up the case, The jury fouled a verdict for the dcfendaut, thus ac quitting Lord Dueboyne of the imputed perjury. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, June 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES MACINTOSH. This insolvent, a printer, was opposed by Mr. Caar ten for Messrs. Sharwood, printers' brokers, Alders gate-street. He was supported by Mr. Cooke. The application was made under the Protection Act. The insolvent, a young man, had a few months ago entered into business as a master printer, having been a journeyman. He obtained type and other articles from the opposing creditors, giving three bills of exchange, one of which had been paid, and the other two were not yet due. Being without capital, the insolvent had recourse to pledging and selling the property he had obtained, and the last pawning was in April to enable him to petition this Court for pro. tection. Mr. Commissioner LAW was of opinion that the present was not a case for protection. There had been such an obtaining and parting with property that could not be justified. The case would be ad journed sine die, and no protection given for a long time. Mr. COOKE preferred having the petition dismissed. His HoNona. acquiesced, and the petition was or dered to be dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. John Barnett, 39, Townshend's-cottages, St. John's wood, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, on the charge of having wilfully thrown a quantity of boiling water over his infant, Mary Ann, only five months old, and who, in consequence of the injury it has received, is not expected to survive. E!izabeth Barnett (prisoner's wife) deposed that on the same afternoon, between two and three o'clock, as she was coming downstairs with her baby, which she was at the time suckling, and carrying in one hand a saucepan full of boiling water, she was asked by her husband, who was the worse for drink, to give him some money. She told him that she had none fur him, upon which he immediately raised his foot, and with great violence kicked the saucepan, when a large portion of the water went over the poor infant, and scalded it in a most dreadful manner upon the face and body. Witness was also scalded upon the arms and breast. Eden Bakewell corroborated the above evidence. Brand, 199 S, said that he had seen Dr. Britton, under whose care the child was, and it was his opinion that there was but little chance of its re covery. Under these circumstances, witness took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed him to the sta tion-house. Mr. BROUGUTON (to the prisoner)—This is a very serious affair; what have you to say for yourself ? Prisoner—l declare to God I didn't mean to do any harm; I had been drinking too freely, and asked my wife for 6d. ; she refused to let me have it, and I then certainly did kick the saucepan. The MAGISTRATE remanded him till Wednesday next. 10 0 0 0 10 0 4 0 0 10 0 0 4 12 6 Paid. A I. d. Y 5 0 0 50 0 0 Paid. Z. s. d. GO 0 0 40 0 0
