The House of Lords met at Five o'Clock. The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill was read a second time, as was the Customs Duties Imports Bill. Lord BROUGHAM again drew their Lordships' atten tion to the encroachments of Railway Companies. After a short conversation on the subject of the Wc,lah hisboprio., Lord DENMAN moved the second reading of the Oaths Dispensation Bill. Lord CAMPBELL and Lord BROUCHAIFI censured the principle of the Bill, which was objected to by the Earl of WICKLOW. The Earl of DEVON objected to leaving it to the dis cretion of the Bankruptcy Court to decide whether the objection to taking an oath was conscientious or not ; and the Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that a general declaration should be substituted for an oath. This suggestion was acceded to, and the order of the day was discharged, in order to afford an opportu nity of introducing a clause to carry the suggestion into effect. The Bail in Error Bill was read a second time. The Earl of DALHoursiE moved the second reading of the Auction Duties' Bill. After a few observations from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord STANLEY, the Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, as there were but twenty-nine Members present at Four o'Clock, there was no House. Taking advantage of " the present state of political tranquillity, and the revival of trade," Lord JOHN Rus mu. is about to propose certain measures which " may tend permanently to improve the condition of the labouring classes." Such an all-important subject could hardly be introduced at a more fitting season; the pre sent session has already done much to retrieve the errors of the last—Conservatives have thrown aside their Con servatism, and dared to exchange prejudice for prin ciple; while the Opposition has nobly refused to oppose, preferring integrity to interest. Party spirit being thus cast to the winds, all may now cordially unite to pro mote the interests of their common country. Having, to a certain extent, vindicated justice to Ireland, the next act of the House must be one both of justice anti humanity they must legislate for the people at large. Aware of the necessity for improve ment, and feeling the deep importance of the subject, Lord J. RUSSELL has not brought forward any single measure, but has proposed for the consideration of the House a series of resolutions, all having for their object the improvement of the great body of the people. In one of the first he declares " that the laws which impose prohibitory duties impair the efficiency of labour, re strict the interchange of commodities, and impose ruin ous taxation." They are few who can conscientiously contradict this assertion—they are yet fewer wko dare act in accordanc.e with their convictions. Year after year, session after session, the great question of the corn-laws has been brought forward, argued, de bated, and dismissed, but never finally defeated. It may continue so for years to come ; but of its ultimate decision no one can doubt. This law can never be permanent, for it is opposed to the great prin ciples of the country. It is one of the last remnants of the feudal times—one of those laws tending to conserve in the hands of the few the wealth and power acquired by the labour of the many. As such it can never be tolerated in England. Does she owe her power and great ness to her proud aristocracy ? What has made the little island of the " painted Britons," the leader of na- of all civilized countries, but greater tions, and the mistress of the seas — not ev o e n n ly t t h h a e n first mighty empires of antiquity ? " Not one of all the conquerors that are, or ever were, In wealth, or fame, or grandeur, with England can compare." And to what is all this owing? Is it to geographical posi tion or natural advantages? llas she the glorious cli mate of the south or the boundless riches of the east? Have her sons more vigorous frames, or higher forms of thought? The secret of her power is this—the little island has learned that" union is strength." She has found that men are all dependent on each other—nut like slaves and tyrants, but by the - cordial co-operation of a free people : by this she has acquired the blessings of liberty —by this she has learned the power of commerce. What have our Kings and Princes done to compare with the deeds of the people themselves? The con quests of our lIENRIS anti our EDWARDS are forgotten; but the acts of the people are revealed in the nation's glory. The name of ELIZABETH is celebrated, but that of GRESHAM will be as immortal. It is needless to pursue the subject—all must admit the source of our greatness. Then should the people be neglected in the prosperity they have created ? Should commerce "lie in fetters on the soil which gave her birth ?" Should industry be bound down and restricted by those whose power she herself has made? Surely the day is at hand when truth shall be not only felt, but feeling is diffused through the acted upon. Now, at this time, le 'The tushope, poor abeter feelland. TUE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL ao, 1845. their rights—let the rich perform their duties. The proud noble could no more exist without the humble la bourer than the lofty summit of an edifice could be sus • tained without the foundation ; but the higher the building is raised the deeper must that foundation be depressed, and so it seems with the people. But injus tice cannot last—only truth is eternal. Let us trust the motion of the Noble Member for London is but the commencement of a system of legislation not supported by factions, or suited to classes, but based on the broad principle of justice and humanity. Lord J. Bulimia., by introducing this measure, will find himself in a far nobler situation than any he occupied in the days of power, and the Government, by agreeing with their opponents, will enjoy the greatest satisfaction place and power can offer—the approbation of their country, and the approval of their conscience. It is impossible to regard without profound interest the present tendency of legislation in this country to re pair the wrongs, the omissions, the injustice of past pe riods of civil oppression, of political animosities, of re ligious bigotry. If, under some aspects, " the present age" is really to be regarded as " that of a cold, selfish utilitarianism" (a proposition which, however confidently advanced, we take leave flatly to dispute), it must be allowed by its worst defamers that it presents others of an ennobling and most 'generous character. It is in these that the healing spirit of conciliation is mani fested—now so happily extinguishing long-rooted and exhausting prejudices, and infusing new life and energy and harmonious action into the various members of our great national family. Between Protestants of the Es tablishment and Protestant Dissenters the influence of conflicting dogmas—nurtured by unworthy jealousy/on the one hand, and estranging disabilities on the other, into destructive prejudices of caste and party—is fast subsiding. Day by day they are returning into relations with each other of Christian fellowship. The repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts is fast doing its good work of paralyzing that principle of repulsion which has for centuries driven a Christian of one denomination from the presence of a Christian of another. The re peal of the Roman Catholic disabilities, in like manner, has operated, in spite of the accidents of party strife and the re-action of politico-religious agitation, to pro mote a gentler and more genial feeling in members of the Romish for those of the Protestant Church, than the Christian world has witnessed, perhaps, since the Re formation. To smooth the " rough ways" which the ob stacles interposed by religious intolerance have, too long, offered to their united march in the career of uni versal charity and improvement, of active benevolence and speculative morality, has surely been among one of the holiest, as it has been—so far as it has yet proceeded —one of the most successful efforts of British legislation during the last eighteen years. But whilst the two great divisions of the Christian Church of this empire have thus been brought nearer together by the counsels of an enlightened toleration, which leaves the general responsibility for religious doc trines to be settled between the creature and his CREATOR ; and whilst the results of these counsels have displayed themselves in the increased impetus communi cated to the movement of the national progress through all its branches of material industry and moral energy, there is one great community among us still hampered by the badges of civil disqualification—of political re pudiation—imposed upon them by the barbarous preju dices of benighted ages. Christian lawgivers in every country in Europe—in many more harshly, but in none mere obstinately than our own—have combined, under the delusion of rendering a signal homage to truth, to visit with pains aad penalties that devoted race whose existence is identified with two thousand years of suffer ing and persecution for that they have conecientiou sly believed to be THE truth. By the Churches of R. , manism and Protestantism the Christianity of both has been derived through the Jews. Both of them, despite their conflicting polemics, concur in recognising their Jewish origin, in the succession of patriarchs and prophets, which preceded the nativity of the DIVINE FOUNDER of their common faith. The perverseness of the Jews, in obstinately refusing to acknowledge the identity of that Drvrms BEING with the promised MESSIAH of their sacred Scripture and their native traditions, is a fatuity which one might have imagined it were better to leave to be dealt with by the OMNISCIENT SUPREME, than to attempt to coerce or to restrain by human ordinances and vindictive penalties. To these, however, that mar vellous and venerable people, which boast to this day its irrefragable evidences of having produced by far the most illustrious of human law givers, have been subjected for twenty centu ries. The theatres and the progress of their civil amelioration have hitherto been but few and tardy ! If in Holland, and Prussia, and some Darts of the Austrian thcy havo soquircd karge political and municipal privileges, they are sore persecuted in Russia, and from Poland they have been driven forth with a rod more stern and terrible than that wherewith the Assyrian smote their captive fathers. If in England and in France they have been raised to the highest rank of that social intercourse which many among them have refined by their talents and embel lished by their magnificence, they are permitted "Pariahs," only, in the Papal States; they are outraged in Italy; they are but upon sufferance in Spain and Portugal ; and in the most refined countries of the East their tenure of property and life is almost as precarious as that of their occasional honours, or the favour of the Sovereigns by whose caprice or connivance they hold them. But in England—the land where personal rights and the claims of legal citizenship are best appreciated— their position of civil disability is more anomalous than it could be in any other country. It now becomes a question of deep interest to the moralist, as well as the political observer, " What will be the ultimate fate of the Jewish Civil Disabilities Bill, now pending in the House of Commons ?" Upon what principle are these disabilities to be con tinued ? In which of the elements that constitute good citizenship are our modern English Jews wanting ? Is it in loyalty to the SOVEREIGN ? Obedience to the laws ? In habits of industry, in commercial ability or enterprise ? In thriftiness ? In the accumulation, employment, and diffusion of capital ? Why, it were as idle to challenge their pretensions in any one of these particulars as to dispute their expansive charity (for that is by no means sectarian or exclusive), or their general kindliness of deportment. In treating; such questions as these, we are not to be hampered by a few miserable exceptions which, however, if they came be fore us more prominently or offensively in persons of the very lowest and moat abject of this people, are common among the more inferior classes of all nations. Looking to the general position the Jews occupy—to the ability and integrity with which they must be allowed to have dis charged whatever duties and trusts of a public nature you have yet confided to them—we cannot repress our astonishment that there should be any, from which, on no better warranty than that of mere worthless, legen dary prejudice, you still exclude them by law under a sweeping sentence of civil disability. If he make an unexceptionable sheriff, what is that peculiarity in the idiosyncracy of a Jew which incapacitates him from be coming an excellent Alderman, or an unimpeachable Lord Mayor, or an eminently useful Member of Parlia ment ? And yet, by an adamantine gate, more impas sable, hitherto, than that which shuts out a Soodra from all possibility of entering the Brahminical caste, you shut out the Israelite sheriff on Mat side from all that lies on this! But we are of good heart. The tide of common sense, as well as common justice, has set in : and we have a strong faith that the day is not distant when our Jewish sisters shall snatch from " the willowss," that have so long wailed over their humiliation and sorrow, " the harps," whose strains shall be exchanged for those that erst were wafted " over the waters of Babylon," for the music of that exultation and joy which shall bespeak a people restored to the long lost dignity of freedom and equality among the equal and the free of a happier land. We have accounts from Madrid to the 22d inst. The Gazette of that date publishes a decree, by which the Government is authorised to contract a loan of 15,000,000 reals (150,000) for roads and canals. No country is so badly off for roads as Spain, and if the Government have only credit to raise the money, much benefit may be produced. " It was only under the reign of FERDINAND V 1.," according to the preamble of this decree, " that the Government bestowed its atten tion on the opening of roads. Under CHARLES 111. and CitaaLEs IV. various works of that kind were under taken, but unfortunate events did not admit of their being finished. At the present day, such as are finished, and such as are projected, are far from respond ing to the wants of commerce and industry ; and, as public order and tranquillity are more and more con solidated, it becomes necessary to adopt me-ins, more direct and more efficient, to supply those wants.

That journal adds that the official relations between Spain and the Court of Rome are now re-established, and that about the commencement of May the POPE will hold a public Consistory, in which his Holiness will announce the conclusion of a concordat, and the recognition of ISABELLA IL by the Holy See. The Three per Cents. were done at 35t at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 9-16 at 60 days ; and the Debt without interest at 81 at 60 days. The only political intelligence in the Paris papers is the official announcement in the Monideur of M. GIIIZOT'S temporary retirement from office, from indisposition. The following is the royal ordonnance to that effect : "Considering that M. Guizot, our Minister Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs requires, for his health, some repose, we have ordered, and do order the following :—" Count Du chatel, Minister Secretary of State for the Interior, is en trusted, ad interim, with the department of Foreign Affairs. " Given at the Palace of the Tuileries on the 27th of April, 1845. "LOUIS PHILIPPE." In reference to this circumstance the Slide says : " If the restoration of M. GuIZOT to health experiences any delay, an attempt will be made to save the Cabinet by intrusting the department of Foreign Affairs, to M. DUCHATEL, who will be succeeded in the Ministry of the In terior by M. MONTALIVET. The return of the Duke DE BROGLIE to an office which he has twice occupied, and which he would retain as a sort of trust, has been like wise talked of. We cannot believe, however, that M, DE BROGLIE will carry devotion to his friend so far as to consent to act a temporary and subaltern part. There would consequently be no other alternative left except the appointment to that department of M. DUCHATEL, which would be a new progress made in the degrada tion of our policy, or the dissolution of the Cabinet of the 29th of October, which has already too long en dured for the interest and honour of the country." The .Journal des Debats, on good authority, gives a different version of the affair:— " We attach no importance to coulgoloake t opef„romnd the commentaries to which the leave of absence granted 'by the King to the Minister of Foreign Affairs will no doubt give birth. We merely warn the public that we shall allow the Opposition journals to say what they like. M. Guizot's health has never inspired any serious inquietude. Ire wants repose, and this repose will be short. , The state man and orator has solicited and obtained from the King a leave of absence, but for the purpose of re-appearing in the tribune with all his strength, and of continuing, the struggle which he has sustained so brilliantly for the last five Years. In the interim the administration of Foreign Affairs is confided to M. Duchatel. It is the only reply that it was suitable to make to the calumnies of certain journals, which, not having succeeded in overturning the Cabinet, endeavour awkwardly to divide it. M. Duchatel is the political and personal friend of M. Guizot. The King, in selecting that gentleman to temporarily supply M. Guizot's place, has given an equal mark of confidence to both. We have not a word more to add." M. GuzzoT, it was understood, would leave Paris in a day or two for a villa near Passy, and afterwards pro ceed to the Vichy Waters in the Bourbonnais. On Monday the Chamber of Deputies assembled in large numbers, in expectation of some personal explanation between the Marquis DE L'ANGLE and M. LEDRU Roman. The Marquis had on Saturday made an angry speech on duelling, evidently directed against M. ROLLIN, in the belief that this writer had alluded to him in an article in the Reforme journal. Explanations of a pacific nature took place, through the influence of M. DUPThr and M. ODILLON BARROT, and the matter ended to the satisfaction of both parties. The accounts from Switzerland are still unsatisfactory. The Presse says that the situation of affairs in the Canton of Berne was becoming more menacing. A popular assembly hostile to the Government was to have taken place on the 27th, and great apprehensions of a revolution following similar to one lately accom plished in the Canton of Vaud. The inhabitants were about to form themselves into a national guard for the protection of persons and property. A letter from Sehsvytz, of April 23, says:—" Every one here is in the greatest anxiety, as it is generally believed that another expedition of the free corps will take place.

In about. te n minutes he returned • and witnesses Harvey, t c b o e u s l I l prove ya o i n a n n g aolffii with them, but they were not examined. Our readers will recollect that the inquiry was adjourned for three weeks, in order to give Mr. Wakley an opportunity of obtaining the opinion of counsel as to his power of havn persons charged with murder before him, and of b "the ringing subject before the Qineen's Bench. Mr. WAKLEY said they would recollect that the inquest was adjourned at that p oint where Bridget Ronan stated that she knew the person of the individual who had threatened Mary Brothers perf ttctl y well, but that she did not know his name. She said she ahould know him in that room amon g thousand, and that she could identify him twent y . hence. The inquiry was adjourned until this day that an application might be made to the proper quarter for a writ of habeas coipus to bring the suspected individual before them, with a view to his i i l e ntification In the sa me wee k a true bill was found ag ainst Connor, the sus p ected indi vidual, on which tte was arraigned, an d to which he pleaded " Not guilt y” His trial therefore for the crime of wilful murder was secured by a step taken after the last adjournment of the hFitzroy iques t. The opinion of M r. Kelly, Q.C., ai r . Roebuck , Q .C., and Mr . Petersdorff; was taken, and after everything that had taken place was clearly explained to them, they were of opinion that, under the new circumstances of the case , an application to the Queen's Bench for a writ of liabeas corpus ought not t o b e made, be cause they were stroilg l y of opinion that that Court would refu.se the application, and that because a refusal of it by the Court. must lead to an inference, on the part of the public, that the Coroner had no right to have before him persons ac cused of murder or manslaughter. He had submitted to their opinion—that tbte finding of the bill by the grand jury would prevent him from having the accused party before him. But Mr. Kelly, the first man at the bar, and, perhaps, the first lawyer in the, country, entertained so strong an opi • nion as to his right of having persons so accused before him, that, he said, if another case of a similar nature should arise, ' he would go before the judge at chambers, and move for the pioduction of a person before that Court, if it was necessary for his identification to he proved before it. He was also of opiniZ)h that the courso they had pursued was strictly cor • rect, ant that they hart been improperly obstructed in the performance of' their deities. He (Mr. Wakley) entertained the same opinion that be did—that the course of justice had been wantonly and . w illful interfered with by persons whom he would not name. Hewould leave ' it to them to say whe • ther they would go on non the inquiry, or return a verdict at once against some pias'°ll or persons unknown. The foreman (Mr. R oge."o said they had advanced no further than at the last meCtillg* They adjeurned because they were anxious to have the ,ei atter settled, and complained that Mr. Wakley had rec t applieci to Lord Denman, instead of referring the matter t e, counsel. If he had applied to the Court of Queen's Bench]. , Lord Denman would have taken an opportunity of stating la ;hat the law was, and what took that case out of the partici') la tr course. After all, no decision had been come to, so that the public would have to remain in ignorance as to wha .i. the law was upon the subject. He believed they were all satisfied that wilful murder had been committed, and they h did heard sufficient evidence to justify them in coming to su. :•.ii a conclusion. He submitted that they should give what they considered a faithful verdict, and that they should state why they further. Mr. WAKLEY said I hat it was rather curious that the ap plication which was n tade to the Central Criminal Court to put off the trial of Cos li tor until the next session was on the ground that a witness, • who could prove that lie was not at the spot at the time of a le murder, could not be found. Since he had held the office of Coroner he had never known a man charged with the crime ( if murder examined and committed to Newgate in one day: By the adoption of such a course no time was given to i 't Le man to obtain any evidence he might have in his fav o u.r. Now, these perso ns could not be bound over by the in: gistrate, and might purposely absent themselves from the C ad Bailey. Harvey, in answer t o a question from Mr. A VAKLEY, said he had no] evidence to . prove who the per son was that mur dered Mary Brothers. The room was then c It ‘ared. During our soj ourn in an ante-room, Arr. Mims , the Deputy-Coroner, supp' pie( I the repo r t er s with a writte n state ment' to the effect, th a t ldr. WA KLEY wished to make a few remarks with regard to an imputation attempted to be thrown upon him by the foreman, that he had broken a pledge which he bad . given to the jury, that he would ' bring the matter befo re the Court of Queen's Bench. He explained the circus taittances which bad occurred in his consultations with coun sf 1 and the position in which lie stood now that a true bill ha. i been found at the Old Bailey, and the prisoner was sure t 0 be tried. These matters having occurred at' chambers we re altogether of a private n and not to be explaine.l a n public. The result was that the jury, with the excepti uf t of the foreman, d ec l a red their unanimous opinion tl th .t the Coroner had done everything that justice and sound rt ason required towards accomplish ing the object the jury hi Id in view in adjourning. he had Mr. Rogers said he . ihould adhere to the opinion expressed. On the admission of the public, after a consultat ion of half an hour, during which Mr. Wakley was absent, The foreman said tl to jury had come to the following ver dict :—" We find that ; the deceased Mary Brothers was wil fully murdered by son a t person to us unknown , and that we have been prevented tt v the conduct of the police autho rities from pursuing the investigation in a more satisfactory manner." Mr. WAKLEY said it would not be long before the matter would be set at rest. Considering that they had been wan tingly interfered with in the performance of their duties, the verdict was a very moderate one. A juryman said Mr. Wakley deserved the thanks of the jury for what he had done at his own expense.—(Hear.) Mr. WAKLEY thanked the jury, and said he should con tinue in the course he had taken until the matter was set at rest. No such system as that to which he was opposed was adopted in any other country in England. The inquiry then terminated. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) TRIAL AT BAR.—THE GREAT DISTILLERY CASE. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. GEORGE SMITH. The proceedings in this case were resumed at ten o'clock, when Mr. James Scott Smith was placed in the witness- box, and examined by Mr. MARTIN—The rebuilding of the rectifying-horse was commenced in 1836, and finished in 1838. At that time it became necessary to uncover what is called the blind pipe. By the CHIEF BARON—The wall was finished in 1838. By Mr. MARTIN—The pipe was exposed to view for several days. The foundation of the wall was a great deal lower than the level of the pipe. Up to 1838 the water flowed through the blind pipe and a connecting leaden pipe into the rectifying-house. The leaden pipe was cut off at the build ing of the wall, as it was in the way of the builder. By the CHIEF BARON—There was an opening about six inches from the end of the blind pipe pointing towards the rectifying-house wall, and to that opening the leaden pipe was affixed. By Mr. MARTIN—After the wall was built, the opening which exposed the blind pipe was filled up. No water came in that direction after 1638. The connecting pipe was re moved in that year. The leaden pipe was continued because it was supplied from the new pipes laid down in 1836. The wall was built solid where the orifice had formerly been. The water, after the year 1838, was - supplied by the pipes laid down in 1836, and by the trough. On my solemn oath I can say that not one drop of spirits was conveyed from the one house to the other by that means, until the experi ment was made by the officers. It never entered our heads that it could be done. I have, since 1813, personally super intended the business of the rectifying-house, and spirits could not have been so introduced without my knowledge. Spirits were since 1817 conveyed by waggon from the distil lery through its gates, along the public streets, and then into the rectifying•house. The law requires that the rectifier should give notice to the officer of Excise that he has received so much spirit; the permit is required to be shown them, and one bung cannot be opened without the officer's permission. There is a complete check on the spirits brought into the rectifying-house. The stock of spirits can be taken at any time within six weeks. The examinations of the officers are conducted with great severity, the mea surements in the casks being sometimes taken by a four gallons cask. I pointed out to the officers before the ground was broken up the road by which the pipe used to commu nicate with the rectifying-house. The pipe is unfit to convey spirits, because it would corrode, and thereby give such a taste to the spirits that they would be unfit for sale. If I wanted to convey spirits by any pipes I should have them of tin, copper, or pewter, the latter is the best. Iron would be quite unfit for the conveyance of spirits. The iron pipe in the distillery-yard is not laid with a regular descent, it is what is technically termed " swags," or not laid at a proper current, so that if spirits had been sent through it, and water had afterwards been run, tke water would not thoroughly remove the taste of the spirits. I tasted the water some four days after the experiment made by the officers, and found the taste of spirits very strong. The water through this very pipe supplies the dwelling house, and while washing my hands I felt the smell of the spirits very strong. I was not present when the water was offered to the horses. Ido not know how many gallons of water were mixed with the spirits in the vat 17. The spirit could only be separated by its being re-distilled. It would take about two tons of coal to do so. The additional expense per gallon would depend upon the produce of the spirits. There is water supplied through this pipe to the room of the officers of Excise, in the distillery. The CHIEF BARON—Oh, it is quite evident, from the plan furnished b y the Crown, that such is the case. By Mr. MARTIN—The water to the rectifying-house was, from 1838 to 1844, supplied by this pipe. The men from the rectifying-house used to go through the distillery for the purpose of turning on the water. The same Excise officers used to remain for a considerable time about the premises, so that they would have ample opportunities of knowing the men in both works. There are two engines on the premises, one communicating with the rectifying-house by a shaft through the wall. The pipe leading into the offices branches off at about twenty-five feet distance on the main pipe, from which it descends, and consequently if spirits were passed it must have flown into that room. Cross-examined by the Soucrrort-GENERAL—Mv brother and myself are single men, and live together. The men employed in the manufacture are different in the one work from the other, but the men employed to keep the machinery in order are common to both. The horses and carts are common to both of us. I believe there is no law against it. In 1817 there were alterations made upon the premises. In 1814 the pipes were defective, and the iron pipe was laid down instead. The leaden pipes in the rectifying-house were connected with the iron pipe at the time it was laid down. The still head prior to 1836 was supplied from a breach from the main or leaden pipe which ran in front of the still. The still head was supplied directly from branches as they were erected. The connexion between the blind pipe and leaden pipe was cut off in 1838. The trough has been in existence for many years, and there is a pump required for the purpose of forcing water to the still head, in the event of the usual flow being discontinued. That pump has been in existence since 1838; there used to be a handpump before. There is a smallcistern there, and there is a bell to give notice when the water is low, so that the supply may be put in at once. The trader is bound to make a declaration of the strength of the total spirits, and the Excise officer says that he has a means of testing the truth of that declara tion. I think it impracticable to convey spirits by this pipe, because, before it could be done, it would be necessary to stop the works, in order to do so. There would be a greater loss than gain by this procedure. Wash would be affected ' by the corroded pipes in the same way that spirits would. I have used lime in rectifying, but not for some years. There wee no lime discovered in vat 17. What was found there was a sediment from the spirits. The duty on a gallon of spirits is 7s. 10d. ; and, therefore, on 700 gallons the amount would be 2601., or more. The present price of malt spirits is about 10s. 2d. a gallon, including duty. I decline saying what the profit upon that may be, as it varies so much. I recol lect the officers on the premises about the 14th of October, and having some conversation with them relating to the water communication between the distillery and the rectify ing-house. I have no doubt that if they put impertinent questions I might have told my brother of it. Ido not re member Cameron's saying, " Does not the water running into :the troughs for the supply of the worm-tubs come from Mr. George Smith's distillery." He asked me, pointing to the wall between the rectifying-house and the distillery, "Is there any other 'communication between the distillery and the rectifying-house except this shoot." I answered," None." I do not recollect saying that this mode of supplying the rectifying-house with water was objectionable. Ido not re collect using the words " criminate myself." I recollect say ing something like this—that my father and myself called upon the late Mr. Carr, solicitor to the Excise, and he per mitted us to use the pipe for gas and water supplied from the distillery as before. I do not recollect Cameron saying to Frankish that he had asked me whether there was any other communication with the distillery except the open trough. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL complained that his Learned Friends who were engaged for the defence, and more parti cularly Mr. Watson, continually interrupted him in his cross examinations by their audible observations. Mr. WATSON—If I had done my duty, I should have in terrupted you much oftener.—(Laughter.) Cross-examination continued—When I said there was no other communication, I think either Fankisk or Cameron said we think there is another communication. Re-examined by Mr. MARTIN—I was introduced to the officers by Mr. Drink water, and they, pointing to the direc tion of the trough, asked if there were any other communi cation than by that shoot. I said, " No," and then Cameron or Frankish said, "I think there is." I said, "Point it out then," and we went up to the top of the still-head, and Cameron asked, " Where does this water flow from 2" I said, " From the main." He asked again, " Does that not come from the distillery 2" I said, " Yes," and pointed out the direction in which the pipe ran. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to this mode of re examination. The CHIEF BARON thought it would be better if the whole conversation were given, and then the Learned Solicitor- General be permitted to ask any question having reference to any part of that conversation. Mr. F. KELLY was perfectly willing to accede to this pro position. Some discussion then took place between the Counsel on both sides and the Bench, as to whether, in re-examination, it was competent to Mr. Martin to question the witness as to parts of a conversation not referred to in the cross- exa mination. The COURT decided that the re-examination might pro ceed as Mr. Martin was conducting it, for if there was any direct matter of denial in the evidence, the Solicitor-General could call witnesses to contradict. Re-examination resumed—Witness did not hesitate to point out the course of the pipe when the officers requested it. Neither did he hesitate to allow the ground to be broken up to expose that course. He could not recollect all the precise words of the conversation. There were three officers, and they were disputing the same questions in different ways, and repeating his answers in altered terms, so much, that he was obliged to say repeatedly to them : " I will not allow you to put words in my mouth—you misrepresent me to myself." He observed to them that there was nothing illegal in sup plying the rectifying house with water from the distillery. He told them that Mr. Carr, the Excise solicitor, had consented to the pipe being laid down, and that the Act of Parliament forbad only pipes for the transmission of worts, wash, or spirits. Here another long discussion arose as to whether a question could be put relating to the date and circumstances of the conversation with Mr. Carr referred to by witness in his answer to the officers. The witness stated that it took place in 1817, before the Act now in force had passed. But the Court would not allow the answer to be received, deciding that the question was irregular. Mr. KELLY again claimed his right to put a question to the witness, as to the conversation with Mr. Carr. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL again objected, and after a pro longed discussion, The LORD CHIEF BAnost said that it had already this day been argued, discussed, and decided, that no question to the witness as to the time, the place, the words, or even the truth of the alleged conversation with the late Mr. Carr, was admissible in this re-examination. Mr. KELLY still pressed his argument with great perti nacity and ingenuity. Their Lordships consulted for some time, and we certainly understood the Lord Chief Baron to express the opinion of the Court in favour of the admissibility of the question in the form last urged by Mr. Kelly, but the Learned Gentleman then merely requested their Lordships to take a note of his question. - The jury then retired for refreshment. Re-examination resumed—He pointed out to Frankish and the other officers the direction of the pipe, and consented to open the ground, but he could not tell on which occasion he did so. Took a sample from the vat No. 17 before the ex periment was made, and found in it nothing but the sediment always deposited in vessels which had held spirits and water for a long time. To convey spirits through a pipe on the principle of the syphon, it must be airtight. The pipe in question was certainly not so, nor intended to be. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) THE KNIFE' AGAIN.—SERIOUS CHARGE OF STABBING.— Elizabeth Meads, a tall, powerful female, about thirty-five years of age, was charged with stabbing Robert Murray, a well-known pugilist, with whom she was cohabiting. William Howard, police-constable, No. 94, of the F divi sion stated, that between ten and eleven o'clock last night, he was called into the Fishmongers'. Arms, public-house, in West-street, Seven Dials, and found the man Murray there, bleeding ptofusely from a wound about an inch below the collar-bone on the left side towards the shoulder. -114ving received information that it had been inflicted by the prix Boner, witness proceeded to her lodgings, and found her. A sharp-pointed white-handled table-knife was lying on a table in the room, and a portion of the blade was smeared with blood. Witness asked her if she was the person who had stabbed the man ? and she unhesitatingly replied that she was. He then took her into custody, and conveyed her to the statien-house. The wounded man was removed to Charing Cross-hospital, where he at present remains. Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoner if she wished to say any thing P—She replied that she had been living with Murray, and passing as his wife for several years past. For the last two days they had been on the drink together. Last night after supper they went into the public-house, where they quarrelled, and Murray struck her a severe blow on the eye, on which, in her passion, she snatched up a knife that was on the table before her, and made a stab at him. She was now very sorry that she had injured him. Mr. MALTBY said he should remand her until Tuesday next. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The change of wind favours ship arrivals from various quarters, but the accounts they bring are net generolly of later date. A large increase, however, to the quantity of produce on hand will be made by these arrivals, and especially to the choice of Australian wools to be offered at the next public sales.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) Group B. The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour, and proceeded with the affirmative evidence in the case of the LEEDS AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION LINE. Mr. Samuel Holland, of the firm of Samuel and Joseph Holland, of Brighouse, said there was a considerable cow: munication carried on between Brighouse and Bradford, and Brighouse and Leeds and Manchester. He thought the West Riding Junction afforded mere accommodation to tho district than the West Yorkshire line. ENGINEERING EVIDENCE. Mr. Hawkshaw, a civil engineer, and the engineer of the Manchester and Leeds and the Manchester and BoTm Railway, was employed last year to lay out the West B idin g system of railway. The country through which it passed was greatly undulating, and was thickly 01 " habited over the whole district The country wea an extremely difficult one to carry a railway across, and under. any circumstances, or whatever route was taken, there EcT s ' be tunnels. He thought he had marked out the WI which would most benefit the public. He had stri..P` it out in branches. The first was the main lias from Leeds to Copley Mills ; the second from Loumore to Bradford; the third from Loumore to Dews bury; and the fourth from Pickle-bridge to Brighouse. Th! first branch would be 17 miles and 6 furlongs in length ; Sn the greatest gradient would be lin 100. Upon that branch they had five tunnels altogether, the total number of yard s in which was 4,207: and the length of arching on the whole branch was 117 yards. Group 0. GRAND JUNCTION POTTERIES LINE. The Committee met at twelve o'clock. Mr. ilavic" Chairman. Mr. M'Veagh, engineer, called and examined—He sta ted that there were no engineering difficulties. Joseph Locke, engineer examined—He stated that the line from Bassford to Stoke was the best line that could be mat He did not think that a better line could be made. knew the country well. He believed they had got the lowest and best summit on their line, and the shortest Waugh He did not think any other line could be made c hea P e x , r i The gradients on the line were not at all dangerous ; he di d not think it would be possible to make a line more conce; nient for the inhabitants of the Potteries. If the Gran ' Junction Company were not allowed to make a line from Bassford to Stoke the inhabitants of the Potteries would loss the great advantage of a line to the north-west. The Gran; Junction Company could convey the products of the Potteri_. cheaper than any other line. The inhabitants of the Fel teries were in favour of the line. Cross-examined by Mr. MACAULAY—DON not to that the inhabitants of the Potteries wished for a lin e Bassford. They wished for a line to Crewe. Witness consit-0 dered thet a line to Bassford was the same thing as a line, Crewe. The line by Bassford to Crewe was, in fact, a ho line than a line to Crewe direct, which would have to circ . Crewe Park. A shorter line than the line to Bassford iniß be made, provided that expense was not an element taken : into consideration. The line to Bassford was the best line with reference to convenience and expense. Re-examined—Thinks that the Grand Junction Come d i c would be able to a ff ord cheaper conveyance than anY '- company. The potteries would be likely to lose the 8(111 1 1 ; tages which the Grand Junction Company would be able The aford them, if any other than their line were made. he gr4ients on the proposed line arose out of the nature of rec ollect grOid. It would be better if the gradient of lin 100 were 1 in 200, but it would not present any serious obsta Thinks that the line ought to be continued to Stafford. Th e Trent Valley, he believed, covenanted to make this ceil tinuation. Captain Huish, Secretary to the Grand Junction Line, amined—He stated that in consequence of commun icatt?. _ with several influential inhabitants of the Potteries, tf_': Company sent engineers to survey the Potteries district, the purpose of constructing a line. The engineers selec tr; the line known as the T line, but the inhabitan ts of 11.2_ Potteries, especially Mr. Ridgeway, objected te Ridgeway's name was attached to the deed between c:110! Trent Valley and the Grand Junction respecting struction of the line. Group V. WEDNESDAY, SECOND DAY.

The proposed 1 1 °' would greatly facilitate intercourse between those towns- Group E. NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK RAILWAY.. .„ The case of this line, which was opened yesterday , W""' proceeded with to-day. aerobic Mr. Wood, of Killingworth, was examined at cons' length as to the position of the Newcastle and Berwick lin with respect to certain coal pits at present at work and jetted, and the probability of the coals coming over that BP °I. in preference to the Northumberland line, in the course .. . n . which he entered into several statistical details quite teresting to the public.
