their ri h —(liear) —and considered thw subject mate-' rially Affected the privileges of the house. The de claration required Mr. Barrett to plead on Friday next, and it was, therefore, necessary for some specific resolution to be adopted without delay. The Hon. Member concluded that the petition be read by the clerk at the table, and printed immediately with the votes, intimating his intention of following the matter up to-morrow by a substantive motion. _ _ ____ _ ... Tne petition was then laid on the table, and ordered to be printed with the votes, but its reading at the table dispensed with. FIELD GARDENS BILL Mr. W. COWPER presented a petition in favour of this Bill from the inhabitants of Kettering. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On the clause which provides that three rate-payers in a parish may call a meeting on the subject of allotting land for gardens being read, Mr. CURTEIS moved that the number of rate-payers should be six. Mr. ROEBUCK took that opportunity of inquiring of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for the Home Department whether this Bill, if carried, would not su pbrsede the existing poor-law ? Ile would also ask the Right Hon. Gentleman if this Bill was in accordance with the views of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and whe ther he was prepared to give the sanction of the Govern ment to it ? Sir J. GRAHAM said the Hon. and Learned Gentle man was probably aware that since the last discussion on this Bill it had been re-committed, and all the clauses relating to the poor-law had been withdrawn. To the 19th cause he had several objections, but he had reason to believe that the Hon. Gentleman who had in troduced the Bill, was willing to consent to the omission of that clause. If he did consent to the omission of that clause, then his (Sir James Graham's) insu perable objections to the measure would be removed. His mind, however, was undecided as to the practical utility of the Bill. Still, although he doubted whether any practical advantage could arise from the Bill, he had no objection to give it his support. Mr. DARBY hoped the Hon. Gentleman would omit the clause. Mr. MILNER GIBSON suspected that the Right Hon. Gentleman was practising a species of cruelty to wards his Hon. Friend the Member for Hertford. The Bill would be allowed to pass on to the close of the session, and would then be killed dead by a count-out. He would tell his HonaFriend candidly that he looked upon this Bill as a species of romance—there was nothing sound or real about it. It was not calculated to do good. The opinion of the ablest men in the country was op po-ed both to the principles and details of the measure, and it was trifling with the time of the House to proceed with it any further.—(Hear, hear.) If his Hon. Friend the Member for Bath would move that the Chairman do report progress and ask leave to sit again this day six months, he (Mr. M. Gibson) would support the motion. Mr. COWPER expressed his readiness to abandon the 19th clause, on the intimation which he had received from the Right Hon. Gentleman. The object of the Bill was to provide allotments of ground for the labour ing man to cultivate as small gardens, so that be might have the benefit to be derived from their cultivation. The Honourable Member for Manchester had designated theßill as rather romantic than practicable. No doubt the measure was a mere romance to him, but not so to the poor man. The working classes were those who would chiefly benefit by the Bill. In many parts of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, where the poor were in the habit of employing their leisure time in cultivating gardens, such a measure as the one proposed would be of vast benefit to them. He should not be very anxious to enter generally on the subject of allotments now. He believed that all persons who were practically acquainted with the subject were in favour of garden allotments, and the objections of Chase who were against alletments were to be ascribed entirely to their ignorance of their practical working and effects. He believed that all the labouring classes in different parts of the country would be benefited by the measure. Mr. ROEBUCK complained that the Bill before the House would have an injurious effect upon the condition of the working-classes.—(Hear, hear.) It was the peculiar advantage of the working classes of England, in comparison with other countries, to be free to serve any employer they thought fit, and to be paid in wages. Now, he looked upon this measure as a roundabout process to substitute payment in kind for payment in wages. Let there be no disguise. Was the working man to get wages, or was he to use the fringes of his time in these miserable patches o f gardens to eke out his wages ? That was the real question. He had no objection to the work ing men having gardens to cultivate, but he was against any scheme that would give employers an oppor tunity of using these gardens as a substitute for wages. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by moving that the Chairman do leave the Chair. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said that the Bill was a movement in the right direction, giving the labourer some portion of independence, and raising him from the condition in which he was entirely dependant upon the pittance which the capitalist and landowner might choose to allow him. He was of opinion that the system supported by the Honourable Member for Bath would make slaves of the people by preventing them from having the use of the soil which was intended by their Maker for them. The great objection which he had to this Bill was that it did not go far enough. This measure was a just era proper legislation, and the commencement of a better system, and therefore he would sive it his warmest support. Mr. ROEBUCK said that he did not want to make slaves of the people ; he wanted to keep the people of England in their present position, not like the people of Ireland, who were in that state on account of the cottier system which was about to be introduced into this country. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD begged to disclaim all personal offence to the Hon. Gentleman. All that he intended to convey by the expression he used was, that the operation of such principles would have the tendency of making the people slaves. Mr. MANGLES perfectly agreed with the Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Roebuck) in his definition of theory, pro vided always that the theory was a sound one. It was vain and utterly useless to set up the principle of the la bouring population living by wages. The question he would ask was—could wages be got for them? The fact was, the people could not get wages. It was only a short time ago that he met a labouring man, who had been a considerable time out of work, and was unable to procure any. The lion. keentlernen would probably tell the poor man to go into the union workhouse. This man may have hid too, probably, a wife and children. If they laid dean the principle that men were to live by labour he would ask how were they to get it ? Was Ihe Hon. Gentleman the Member for Bath lookin out of his parlour window on one of the squares of Lon don able to tell how labour could be procured ? No man living by wages alone in his neighbourhood was able to make out a comfortable subsistence. The Hon. and Learned Member had stated that the labourers gene rally kept three pigs in his locality (Guildford)—that was very rare. lie would undertake to show the Hon. and Learned Gentleman five men who had raised them selves by allotments to a comfortable condition, whereas not one labourer could be shown who had so raised him self by his wages. He never knew one instance in which allotments had been tried which had been attended with failure. Ile believed that the system of wages as it at present existed was calculated to lower the cha racter of the labourer in a moral point of view. The man who lived exclusively upon wages was generally a man of narrow mind. Mr. B. ESCOTT said that all the advantages which the Hon. Gentleman extolled were the effect of the allot ment system, and would not be given by this Bill. He had said when the Bill had come to the third reading he would state the grounds on which he would oppose it. The Hon. and Learned Member for Bath had discussed the measure with his usual vigour and force. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State had taken up a stronger position against the principles of the Bill than the lion. and Learned Member for Bath. He would contend that the present measure was a new parochial system for granting relief in land to the labouring popu lation of the country, and if any portion of the labouring population were of opinion that their condition would be improved by this Bill, they would be egregiously mistaken. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was the paramount duty of the House to bring all their knowledge to bear on the discussion of the measure, which had been brought forward for the purpose of improving the condition of the labouring classes. It would be proper to consider whether the measure now tendered would conduce to that great end or not, and to deliberate further with respect to what might be called the impression out of doors. He entirely concurred with several of the leading maxims which had been laid down by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath. He thought that the labouring classes of the country must depend on labour for subsistence. They must depend on the fruits of their industry to be derived from the capital belonging to others being judiciously employed. It was absurd to think that the industrious classes could derive their sup port from any other source. He would be extremely happy to see the labouring population obtaining an in dependent subsistence from cultivating small districts of land, but such a system was not compatible with their present condition, and to introduce such a system into England would be to assimilate the lower classes to the wretched state of the peasantry in Ireland. If the measure, as had been represented, reduced the wages of the labourers, it would, in his opinion, be the most pernicious measure ever introduced. With respect to the efficacy of any measure introduced with the idea of adding to the wages of the labourer, he had great doubts. He was bound to observe with great sorrow the statement of the Hon. Member for Surrey, that at the esesent time, in the season of haymaking, in that county ~ here were agricultural labourers who could not get employment. Sorry as he he was at this state of things, he did not believe that such a measure as that before the House would afford a remedy, though he admitted that such a plan would be better than no employment at all. As the Bill now stood he had great doubts that it would effect any amount of good. He saw, however, no danger in the experiment, and therefore he was not prepared to state, on his own responsibility, that he would oppose the progress of the Bill. Mr. TRELAWNEY should support the motion of the Hon. Alember for Bath (Mr. Roebuck), as he maintained that the Bill would have the effect of lowering wages in stead of increasing them, because it would diminish the demand for labour. Believing this to be the case, he should vote against the Bill. s ENN slifro.) p ART LEY should support the Bill, as wher had been tried it had worked well, and the Ce';: .: p Si tit \we e as the moral condition of the labourers es_ ' h imp_ ~. stead of retrograded. -: -- . Mr. BiIIGH said he should vote for the motion of ~. 4; ' th e .1 - lijimur it a Member for Bath, as the Bill would s e\ -. placeethss; lab * rin a more dependent state than here <- tofore, wild.l) . se it would increase the number of pau *:- e- ' ass of suffering and misery extant in the N: 4 country. It appeared that landlords had power to grant allotments of waste land to labourers, and that any sur plus which might occur should be applied to the relief of poor persons in the parish. He should oppose that clause. They had already pauperism enough; they had one great scheme by which they were relieved to a greater or less extent. He thought it an un desirable thing that any fresh system should be ori ginated. The Hon. Member for Rochdale (Mr. S. Crawford) bad spoken harshly on this question, for be felt warmly upon it; but he (Mr. Bright) was sure he thought that no manufacturing population were so com fortable as that large class which he represented, and which were dependent on their earnings for a subsist ence. A labourer, wherever it was possible, should have a piece of ground near his cottage, but that was a very different thing to the system proposed to be carried into effect by the Bill. Its real object was to give a cer tain description of relief to that class of people in the rural districts who were in a condition of suffering. He had no objection to their having relief; but it appeared to him that every labourer, when he becamepossessed of one of these gardens, would be driven, by the compe tition of labour, down to receive just such wages as he could barely live on, and would have only a small quantity of potatoes as his food, from the land which he cultivated. If there was a superabundance of labour, wages would be reduced to the smallest possible amount. There was another certain degree of depend ance. The moving power of the Bill was to be the cler gyman of the parish. He might be a suitable person, but they knew that the most deserving labourers were those who went to church and chapel. So that the labourer, if the Bill were carried out at all, would be more dependant than at present. He however agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham) that it would not do much harm. No .provision was made for the expenses which would have to be defrayed ; and he could not but think it a mere toy of legislation, which the Hon. Member for Hereford (Mr. Cowper) had been amusing himself with that session ; and it would be more respectful to the House if he were to withdraw it. Mr. DARBY referred to the circumstance of a lady who had granted 500 allotmehts to her tenants, and who made it a stipulation that whoever was taken before a magistrate should forfeit his allotment, and not one in stance had occurred for several years. This might per haps be too severe, but the Hon. Member for Bath must give him better information as to the bad working of the system than he had done before he could agree with his opinion. With respect to the voluntary system, he did not know an instance in which it had led to the reduc tion of wages ; it bad bad a very different result; as in stea l of lowering the condition of the people, it had ele vated it. He was not sure that the Bill would effect that which was accomplished under the voluntary system, because the owner of the land frequently afforded the tenants assistance by giving them seeds, and aiding them in vari,ms ways. But wherever the voluntary system could not, from local causes, be carried into effect, he should feel disposed to see the plan proposed in the Bill tried. Lord CLEMENTS explained the " cottier" system pursued in Ireland, which consisted in granting from 20 to 30 acres of land, and which bad bad a favourable result, whilst the "con acre" system (the renting of an extremely small piece of land by a peasant) was driving the Irish agricultural labourer to the earth, and since the decision of an assistant barrister at a quarter sessions that no tenancy was caused under the " con acre" sys tem, and that a tenant had a right to remove the agri cultural produce of his land, it had become worse, as a person desiring to rent a piece of land could not obtain it, unless he could find security, and as the security had to be a farmer, who bad the power of reducing the wages of labour to the lowest ebb, the difficulty and hardshi was greatly increased. The system of "con acre ' created a running account between farmer and labourer, and did away with the payment of wages in money. So much did it increase misery in Ireland, that he was anxious to caution gentlemen in England not to incur the risk of similar distress in England by the introduc tion of this Bill. Mr. STANSFIELD was in favour of voluntary allot ments, because they promoted a good feeling between the landlord and the labourer. As the Bill would destroy this system, and would defeat the good inten tions of landlords, he should vote against it, and the sooner the Bill was withdrawn the better. Mr. HENLEY said that the Bill was very severe in some of its enactments, and as he did not think it would have the desired effect intended by its projector, he should support the amendment of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath. Mr ,COWPER said that he did not assert that the Bi would have no effect on wages, but that whatever effect it would have would be to increase rather than diminish them. Froua what he had heard of the cottier system in Ireland, it was pretty clear that there was no such thing as an allotment system there. He believed that in ninety-nine cases out a hundred land was held—not from the owner, but from a third person, a farmer, pro bably ; and such was the competition for it, that prices far above the real value were offered by the one class and accepted by the other. Mr. BOUVERIE read extracts from two competent authorities—(we could not hear the name) —which he would oppose to the arguments of Hon. Members whoop posed the Bill. Mr. NEWI)EGATE thought that the proposed al lotments could be of no use to . the labourers in the mining and manufacturing districts. He had lived long enough to see that the labourer was but too dependent on his employer, and he would support any Bill which promised him more independence. Mr. CURTEIS thought the tendency of the Bill was to lower agricultural wages, and he should therefore vote against it. Mr. M. GIBSON was ♦ery sure that the Bill would be defeated on the third reading, even if it reached that stage ; and he therefore wished to put the Hon. Mem ber out of pain as soon as possible.—(Laughter.) Al though he was ready to admit that it was a noble spec tacle to see a man struggling against adversity. An HON. MEMBER wished to put a question of vital importance to the Right Honourable Baronet the Se cretary for the Home Department. Had the Right Honourable Baronet any experience whatever on this subject ?—(Laughter.) Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD doubted the ap plicability of the Bill to Ireland. Sir JA3IES GRAHAM said, that in the north of Ireland the Bill would not be much regarded, because there the land was held directly from the owners. He observed also in the neighbourhood of Birmingham there were garden-plots upheld by the labourers or manufacturers ; but there again, as in the north of Ire land, the laud was held directly from the owners of the soil. Although the Bill was capable of amendment in some of its &tails, he did not mean to oppose it. Mr. COWPER said, the more common mode in and about Northampton and other large towns in England, was for land to be held from societies. The House then divided, when there appeared, For the amendment Against it Majority against it —23 Mr. CURTEIS moved as an amendment that there should be six, instead of three requisionists of a parish, who should have power to call a meeting to put the Bill into operation. Mr. BRIGHT said that it appeared to him, that under this clause three rate-payers of a parish would have power to call a meeting, which should be con sidered a parish meeting, to decide whether the parish would adopt the provisions of this Act, and he cer tainly did not think three was a sufficient number. Lord Sandon, Mr. Darby, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and Mr. Cowper supports d the clause as it stood, but, after a short discussion, the amendment was agreed to without a division. Mr. HENLEY moved as an amendment, that each of the six requisitionists should be rated to the poor at up wards of 10/. Mr. Cowper, Mr. Darby, and Mr. Wakley resisted the alteration. Mr. CURTEIS and Mr. S. CRAWFORD supported it. Mr. BRIGHT said the proposed alteration would entirely defeat the chance of this Bill being carried into operation in the agricultural districts, for there the numbers were few indeed who were rated above 10L After a short discussion the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority —9 On the re-admission of strangers we found Mr. COLLET moving an amendment to the effect that " churchwardens" should be substituted for " rec tors or curates," in the administrative clauses of the Bill. Mr. COWPENhoped that the Hon. Gentleman would not press his amendment, for, in point of fact, the churchwardens were the administrators of the paro chial law. Mr. BRIGHT thought that it was most unfavourable to the minister of any church to be dragged into affairs distinct from the preaching of the Gospel. Mr. DARBY moved that the words "landed proprie tors, occupiers of land, and inhabitant householders" be omitted, and the word "vestry" be substituted. The amendment was agreed to without a division. The clause then passed as amended. The second clause was then proposed, Mr. COLLETT moved that the word "churchwar dens" be inserted in this clause instead of the words " officiating minister."—Agreed to. Mr. BRIGHT also moved that the words " and other places of worship" be inserted after the word " chapel." This amendment was negatived. Mr. CURTEIS moved that the words " twenty-one days" be inserted, instead of " ten days." The clause, as amended, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. The 3d clause was then agreed to. On the proposal of clause 4, Mr. BRIGHT recommended the clause to be with drawn until the meaning of the word " Vestry " was explained. Mr. COWPER suggested that the clause could be carried, and the meaning of the word " Vestry" could be explained afterwards in the interpretation clause. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 5 being proposed, Mr. COLLETT moved that the words " officiating minister" be omitted. Mr. COWPER opposed the amendment. The House then divided on the amendment, and it was lost by a majority of 37 to 7. On the next clause being read, Mr. BRIGHT said he conceived the words " officiating minister " rather indefinite: for instance, there were some townships in which there were several offi ciating ministers; and he would like to know who would have the power to decide which was the " officiating minister?" He thought the vestry ought to have the power of making the election. It was agreed upon to leave the definition to the inter pretation clause, and the clause was then agreed.to. On clause 8 being read, Mr. BRIGHT objected to the words " near such parish" being left in, because persons in one parish might come to another and interfere with those holding field gardens. Mr. COWPER beggei to remind the Hon. Member that those gardens were not to be regulated by parochial limits. However, he would have no objection to insert the words " within such parish." The clause with the amendment was then agreed to. Oa the 9th clause being read, Mr. ESTCOTT would wish to know if it was intended to have paid surveyors ? Mr. COWPER would wish to postpone deciding upon that point for the present. Mr. HINDLEY suggested, that due notice should be served on occupying tenants, when land was about to be taken. Mr. COWPER had no objection to that suggestion beinc , complied with. Mr. COLLETT said that with respect to the liability to rating to the poor-rate, that persons possessing half an acre were not to be rated. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS was in doubt whether the land when taken by the wardens or surveyors was to be for a permanency or not. He confessed the point was to him a great difficulty. After some further conversation, the clause was agreed to. Clauses 10 and 11 were also agreed to. • On clause 12 being read, Mr. BOIJ VERIE objected to the clause altogether. He did not see why the power of devising land for 21 years should be given to these wardens. A desultory conversation ensued, in which several Members took part. The clause, however, was allowed to stand part of the Bill. Clause 13 was struck out. Sir R. PEEL thought that the possession of small portions of land by the labouring population would be most beneficial to them. He would not stop to inquire what the effect of such a system would be a hundred years hence. He would rather look to the immediate result of such a system, and that result, he believed, would be most beneficial to the classes more immedi ately interested. He would, therefore, support the mea sure of the Hon. Member for Hertford. Mr. BRIGHT believed that if the Bill were to pass it would be inoperative. Mr. WAKLEY thought the House was very much in debted to the Government for having given their sup port to this measure. He was very much surprised at the Hon Member for Durham opposing the Bill, because allotments of land to the poor must be the means of increasing the food of the poor. There was gross in consistency in the course which had been taken by the Hon. Member for Durham. _ _ Sir IL PEEL would ask if be might give the lion. Member one piece of advice. It was, that if friendly to the Bill, he should not at half-past ten at night raise a discussion on the corn-laws.--(Laughter.) This clause —together with the 16th—was then agreed to, and After a desultory conversation between Messrs._ Bright, Collett, and Darby, clauses 17, 18, 19, and 20, were withdrawn. Clause 21 was also passed without opposition. Mr. BRIGHT inquired if, under clause 22, the Hon. Member (Mr. Cowper) intended that women should be eligible for the office of landwardens ?—(Laughter.) Mr. COWPER could see no objection to the selection of females who should be found competent. Mr. BRIGHT stated his intention of withdrawing the clause of which he had given notice respecting the kill ing of game. Clause 23, and the preamble of the Bill, were then passed without discussion, and the report was ordered to be printed and brought up to-morrow (this day). The House then resumed. LUNATIC ASYLUM AND PAUPER LUNATICS BILL. On the motion of Lord ASHLEY, the House wen into Committee on this Bill, when _ _ Mr. C. BERKELEY expressed a hope that the Noble Lord would make some statement as to the objects of the Bill, before they went into Committee. Lord ASHLEY observed, that OA a former occasion he had occupied the House for upwards of an hour and a quarter in explaining its objects ; at that time he went fully into the details of the Bill, and he did not think it necessary to say more at present.—(Hear, hear.) Clauses 1,2, and 3, were then agreed to. Clauses 5,6, and 7, were then agreed to. On (dame 8 being proposed, A short conversation took place, in which Mr. Henley, Lord Ashley, Sir Jamed Graham, and Mr. S. Wortley took part, respecting union workhouses being used as lunatic asylums, Mr. Henley complaining that the clause did not provide a sufficient authority for the regulation of such establishments. After an explanation from Lord ASHLEY on this point, Mr. WAKLEY objected to the using of workhouses for lunatic asylums. lie did not believe it was possible to treat chronic cases of lunacy in such places, the arrangements being altogether so imperfect. It was con tempttble to speak of the expense of providing proper accommodation for chronic patients in workhouses and other places, when it was considered that the cost on the poor-rate would not be more than a farthing in the pound, and when it was considered that the unfortunate patients were labouring under the the most painful of all maladies. Sir J. GRAHAM considered that the curable should be separated from the incurable patients, as soon as pos sible after their admission. The clause gave the autho rities full power to effect those alterations which might be rendered necessary for the accommodation of the pa tients, but expense ought not to be entirely disregarded. Mr. WAKLEY would ask the Noble Lord if the con verting any part of the workhouses into lunatic asylums would not be regarded as very hostile to the poorer classes, and would it not be apt to bring the Legislature of the country into very bad odour ? He was sure it would, and the provision which enacted this, therefore, was, in his opinion, very defective, and ought to be ex punged. Lord ASHLEY said it would be the duty of the Com missioners to see that the internal regulations of these asylums would not, in the slightest degree, interft•re with the other parts of the workhouses. It was calcu lated, too, that the appropriation of a portion of these public buildings would save a considerable expenses to the country ; and he trusted that they would in ten years prove that they had not, as now, 17,500 his notics, but something less than 10,000—perhaps less than 8,000. Mr. HENLEY did not object to Parliament adopting means for securing the speedy cure of pauper lunatics, but he was decidedly opposed to their doing it at the expense (.f ether classes than those who were to be benefited by their legislation. Mr. Hawes and Mr. V. SMITH advocated a separa tion of the curable and incurable pauper lunatics con fined in the various asylums of the country, and urged the Committee to adopt the views of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. Sir JAMES GRAHAM recommended the Noble Lord who had charge of the Bill, so to modify the clause as to require a separation of that part of the building, to be coverted into a lunatic asylum, from that part to be used and occupied as a workhouse. Lord ASHLEY had no objection to adopt the recom mendation of his Right Hon. Friend, and the clause was amended accordingly, and afterwards agreed to. On the next clause being read, Mr. M. GIBSON conceived that the town council should have some controul over the money proposed to be raised, and not to leave the entire controul of it to the parties to whom the Bill now gave an irrespon sible power of making orders on the treasurer, which the council would be compelled to find the funds to meet. Lord ASHLEY would have no objection, if the Hon. Member would say what remedy he would propose. Clause 26 was agreed to. Clauses up to 40 inclusive were then passed without opposition or discussion. On clause 41 being put, Mr. WAWN protested against the House proceeding further at that late hour (one o'clock), especially as he had great objections to that clause. He therefore moved that the Speaker report progress. The House resumed. After a short discussion, in which Lord Ashle y , Lord Barrington, and Mr. Darby took part, each urging the propriety of continuing, Mr. WAWN consented to withdraw his motion on condition that the consideration of that particular clause be postponed. The 41st clause was postponed accordingly. Clauses up to 45 were then agreed to. On the motion of Mr. WAKLEY, The CHAIRMAN reported progress and obtained leave to sit again on next Wednesday, at twelve o'clock. The House then resumed. SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY SOCIETIES BILL. Mr. WYSE moved that the Bill be committed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM was opposed to any exten sion of the measure. Mr. WARBURTON hoped that the Bill might be abandoned. After some desultory conversation clauses 1 and 2 were made part of the Bill, as were also clauses 3,4, 5, and 6, and the Bill was ordered to be reported on Friday next. ART UNIONS BILL. In answer to a question from Mr. WYSE, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he should oppose the Bill, as it would lead to a lottery in disguise. Mr. WYSE defended the London Art Union, and contended that it was'' not a lottery, as its rules were submitted to the Government. He was anxious to have an evening set apart for its discussion. The Bill then went through Committee, and the re port was.ordered to be brought up on Friday. FOREIGN LOTTERIES BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. Report on Friday. The House then adjourned, at Two o'clock. LICENSED VICTUALTARS' ASYLUM, OLD KENT ROAM—Tuesday the half-yearly meeting of the governors of this institution, which was established for the reception of decayed members of the trade, who are aged and infirm, and their widows, was held in the Bridge.house Hotel, London bridge; Mr. Wallis in the chair. The report stated that the institution was progress ing most successfully. At the late dinner 2,400/. was subscribed, including 147/. from .7. Goding, F.aq , who presided, and his esta blishment. The several brewers of the metropolis subscribed 20 guineas each. The funded property amounted to 6,5651. 10s. Bd. Three per Cent. Consols - , and 6171. 6s. Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, which realised 2091. 4s. a year. At the last election five inmates were elected from forty.five candidates, and a fancy fair was getting up on a large scale in aid of the funds. The re port spoke most gratefully of the exertions of the board of manage ment and out-door committee. On the motion of Mr. Gaines, seconded by Mr. Proctor, the report was adopted. After which A long discussion ensued on the propriety of building twelve houses in addition to the 103 dwellings at present erected on the grounds of the asy lure. It was the unanimous opinion of the governors that they should increase those dwellings as soon as their funds, and the increased comforts of the present recipients of the charity's bounty, enabled them so to do. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. CALEDONIAN' RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at eleven o'cloeic, Lord Radnor in the chair, when the case of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, which is now brought forward in opposition to the Cale. donian Railway as a competing project, was gone into. Mr. ATIDERWa addressed the Committee at considerable length, n reply to the case in favour of the Caledonian, closed yesterday, and in favour of the competing scheme. After stating the routes which the two lines of railway took, he entered into a comparison of their engineering difficulties, which he maintained were much greater in the Caledonian line than in the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle. In the former the gradients were much more severe, and the tunnels, cuttings, and embankments, much greater, and more difficult of construction than in the latter. The expenses also in proportion to distance was much higher. The engineering pecu. liarities of the Caledonian were such, that he was persuaded that it could not be travelled without: considerable danger, beside. offer ing many impedimenta to speed and regularity. The difference of length between this line of railway and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, he was certain would be more than compensated by the superior speed and safety of the latter. If there was difference in distance, it ought also to be recollected there was a great difference in the amount of population along the respective lines. The Cale ' donian to a very great extent traversed a country destitute of culti vation, and with scarcely any inhabitants ; the other passed on all points through a comparatively thickly populated and well cultivated country. With respect to Glasgow and Lanark. shire the two lines were about equal. It was, therefore, said as a reason why the Caledonian should be preferred to the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, that it accommodated the north of Scotland, which the other did not. True, it was proposed to connect this line with the Scottish Central, but it was altogether erroneous to suppose that thereby the whole north of Scotland would be benefited. All Scotland north of the river Forth contained 1,200,000 inhabitants. At present the only lines that traversed any portion of this tract of country were those to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. Now, of the 1,200,000, a vast proportion would receive no benefit from this line of railwry. Argyleshire, with 100,000 inhabitants ; Fifeshire, with 150,000; and Forfarsliire, with nearly as many more; be sides all the west parts of Ross-shire. Caithness.shire, and Sce her. landahire, Dundee, and the surrounding country and Fifeshire, would be supplied with a line of railway from Burntisland, in con nexion with Edinburgh, by which the southern traffic to those places would proceed, the great mass of which would come by the North British Railway and the Hawick line. Deducting, there fore these important items of population from the north of Scotland, there only remained Perth and trade. Aberdeen and trade, with the intermediate places on the lines of railway to be accommodated ; all of which places would still con tinue to use to a considerable extent their former means of conveyance. Against these were to be placed the mineral, manufacturing, and agricultural counties of Renfrew and Ayr, as also the important towns of Dumfries, Kirkudbrightshire, Wigtonshire ; and there the balance should be struck—a balance that would tell greatly in favour of the line of railway for which he had the honour to appear. As a proof of the decided feeling in the latter named places in favour of this project he need only inform the Committee that eighty-six petitions had been presented in its favour, from the towns of Dumfries, Wigton, Ayr, Kilmar marnoch; Port Glasgow, and other places ; as also from Belfast, Londonderry, and ether towns in the north of Ireland. The Learned Gentleman having intimated that he was fully prepared to prove all his allegations by the amplest evidence, concluded his address, and the examination of witnesses was proceeded with. Mr. Nicholson, of Carlisle, deposed as to the amount of the traffic of that port, and the amount of traffic that might be expected to go along the line of railway through Dumfries. Mr. A. Oswald, M.P., gave evidence respecting the mineral and agricultural produce of Ayrshire, and as to the great advantage that would be conferred on the district by the proposed line of railway. Mr. Thomas Crichton, Provost of Dumfries, was examined re. apecting the town and trade of Dumfries, and also as to the feeling of the inhabitithts;which be represented to be generally in favour of the line. Mr. Gordon and Mr. Reeves, late of the Post-office, were ex amined generally respecting the traffic. Mr. Marmaduke Constable Maxwell, of Terregles, near Dumfries, deposed as to the importance of Nithsdale as an agricultural dis. trict, and of the great benefit the farmers would derive from the railway, in bringing supplies of coal and lime from a distance at a reduced rate of price. Mr. Lenny, a landed proprietor, gave evidence to a similar effect. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow, at eleven o'clock, HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP A. LONDON, CROYDON, CHATHAM, AND OR- PrNGTON (ATMOSPHERIC) LINE, AND LONDON, CHATHAM, AND NORTH KENT MINE. _ _ The CHAIRMAN on taking his seat this morning, at the usual hour, read the dec . :Sion of the Committee as to the three principal Bills now before them, an intimation of the nature of which was gives yesterday, and was accordingly published in the last edition of The Sun of last evening, and was to the effect that the preambles of the above Bills were not proved. A discussion of great length as to what Bills should next be taken then ensued, and the room was cleared in order to give the Committee an opportunity of consulting. On the re-admission of strangers, The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee had determined to take first the Bills which were unopposed, and to postpone those which were opposed by landowners. Several counsel urged the importance of their Bills, and the shortness of their evidence, and after a long discussion as to which Bill should next be taken. The Committee decided on taking first the LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY EX- TENSION AND WIDENING SILL. Mr. Gregory, the engineer of this line, who was the only witness called, said that it was proposed by the London and Croydon Com pany to widen their present line by making an atmospheric tube on each side, so as to have, in addition to their present line, a double atmospheric line. The expense was estimated at 150,0001 . The CHAIRMAN declared the preamble of the lilt to be proved. TUNBRIDGE AND TUNBRIDGE WELLS ZINE. Mr. MAUNDER said that this was a Bill to enable the South- Eastern Company to make a line from their works at Tunbridge to Tunbridge Wells. The land was already purchased, and the greater part of the line was already made, the only purpose of the Bill being to legalise what had been done. Mr. Barlow, the engineer of the line, was then called, and proved the above statements. Mr. CLEASZEY was about to cross-examine the witness, when Mr. Atexygnse objected, on the ground that he, Mr. Cleasbey, had no locus stands: Mr. CLE►s/EY abandoned his cross-examination. The CoLiamari said the preamble of this Bill was also proved. A discussion ensued as to NIL Cleasbey's right to appear on the part of the Commissioners of the Navigation of the river Medway, and the Committee decided that he had no locus stundi, as the land of the Commissioners was not interfered with. GREENWICH RAILWAY WIDENING AND EXTENSION BILL. Mr. ALEXANDER said that the South-Eastern Company sought by this Bill to obtainyower to widen a portion of the Greenwich line in order to allow the Croydon line to cross it the more conveniently. Mr. George Stephenson, civil engineer, spoke to the nature of the proposed widening. Mr. ALEXANDER stated that the extension proposed had been abandoned, being opposed by the Government, on account of its Interfering with Greenwich Park. The CRAIEMAN declared the preamble of the Bill, as amended, to be proved. After a long discussion as to what course the Committee should new pursue, it was decided to adjourn until to.morrow, that in the mean time the Chairman might apply to have another Hon. Mem her appointed in the place of Mr. Roche (whose ill health would prevent him from attending tomorrow) before any new part of the subject should be entered into. The Committee accordingly adjourned . GROUP L. LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH DIRECT, AND GUILDFORD AND CHICHESTER LINES. clauses of the remain in g Bills before them . Y to define and pass the Thi s Committee reassembled to.da That of the Guildford Junction was first proceeded with, and no. thing but mere technical arrangements or alterations made—each point, however trivial, met with the strenuous opposition of the rival Companies, and thus occupied the Committee with a most prolonged, but most uninteresting discussion. Subsequently the Committee proceeded to the consideration of the clauses of the Brighton and Chichester (Portsmouth) Bill, but, as in the other instance, not a single decision was made of the Illlightest interest to the public. At four o'clock the Committee adjourned till to.morrow. GROUP P. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. On the re-assembling of the Committee this morning at the usual hour, Mr. E. BULLER, the Chairman, announced that yesterday the Standing Orders' Committee were unable to form a quorum, and, in consequence, no business was transacted. According to the rules of the House, Mr. Escott was obliged to give notice for leave to sit for a quorum of three. He had given that notice, and the subject would be brought before the House to-night ; the Star - ding Orders' Committee could not, therefore, sit until to.morrow, and this Committee would adjourn till Friday, in order to have the re port of the Standing Orders' Committee. Mr. Daniel, on behalf of various landowners on the line, and the corporation of Gloucester, requested the Committee to adjourn until beyond Friday, otherwise he would be perfectly unable to meet any new case that might in the interim be set up. He begged an adjournment till Tuesday next. Sir T. PHILLIPS objected to any adjournment beyond Friday as unnecessary. To-morrow afternoon, at three o'clock, the decision en the standing orders would be known- General Johnson, M.P., refused to entertain the application. He had at great inconvenience to himself come a distance of a hundred miles to attend the Committee yesterday, and next week he wanted to be four hundred miles away. There was no instance of a Bill in Committee at so advanc ed a period as July being passed during the session, and be certainly should not agree to ad. journ the Committee till Tuesday next. The CHAIRMAN observed, if any case should arise requiring further delay, there would be sufficient time to consider the ap plication, but under the present circumstances the Committee had distinctly decided that they must adjourn till Friday. The Committee then adjourned. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. - The Committee sat this day at the usual hour, when Mr. HILDTAIID proceeded to apply himself to the traffic evidence, and to comment upon it. Mr. Sergeant WRANGUAId proposed to hand in certain clauses to be inserted in the London and York Bill, binding that Company stringently to certain conditions in regard to the n avigation of the Witham, such as under takin g not to afford any obstruction to that navigation, and to be subject to as any obstruction which may be a fine of 201. per diem so long put up should exist ; also, providing th at the Witham Navigation Company shall have a power to re - ente r in the event of the Lo or n. don and York Company not paying u p keeping the towing.paths and embankmen ts . &c., in proper repair. the rent undertake, Mr. HILDYARD said he would comment upon those clauses when he should arrive at that part of his case. He then proceeded to call the attention of the Com mittee to the evidence given In reference to the position of Boston. He said, a witness stated that Boston would become a great part for the Baltic trade, in case a railway communication should be given it to the interior ; and if that was to be relied on, he would caution the Committee against granting any line, such as that of tf:e London and York, which would preclude the possibility of that railway communication being made with Boston as stated by the witness, and which, he contended, would be prevented if the London and York scheme should be approved of, because that scheme proposed another mode of communication with Boston, namely, by water, and a most circuitous route. With those ob servations upon that point, he would now proceed with his state. ment. He had already told the Committee that a Bill for making a line from Nottingham to Lincoln had become the law of the land. The Committee would see the importance of that line in connexion with the Cambridge and Lincoln line. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the evidence on the coal traffic, which he recapitulated at some length, and said he could not conclude that branch of his argument without once more call ing the attention of the Committee to the population of the town of Cambridge, and the importance of that fact, as well as the addi- tional one of the University being there. He had re ceived his education in that University ; but until he had studied the merits of this line, he could not have formed any idea of the vast importance of the district of county about the town of Cambridge in reference to its position for traffic by railway communication. And now, having shown the Committee, as he conceived satisfactorily, that the London and York Company had taken credit for an income of 293,800/. a year, as the result of their coal traffic alone, which, in his opinion, was an amount they never could realise ; and having also shown that the Cambridge and Lincoln Company had taken credit for only 14,0001 per annum, as the result of their coal traffic on one.fourth of the distance taken by the London and York Company—having, as he said, adverted to these facts, and disposed of them, he would leave that branch of the subject, and proceed to comment upon another. He had before touched upon the landowner's opposition to this line, for there was but one; he would now pass that by with a single observation. The opposition was that of Mr. Pemberton, who was not a landowner, but a trustee to two ladies; and it ap peared that the only injury that would be done in that instance was such an encroachment upon a farm as was unavoidable in all such undertakings, and therefore he would say not one word more on that objection, except this, that it was the only such objection offered, and that this line there fore, came before this Committee recommended by the re markable circumstance that there was not a single objection to the line in the shape of a residential injury. He had now to complain of not having been fairly dealt with by the London and York Com pany, inasmuch as they now come forward, at this late period of the proceedings, with a parcel of clauses by which it was pro. posed to obviate the difficulties that originally existed to that line, in reference to the Witham navigation. He would contend for it that those clauses had evinced a total dis. regard to the public convenience, and had In view only the pro motion of the interests of the London and York Company, The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon Mr. Cubitt's evidence, and said that that gentleman went so far as to tell the Committee that there was no moral difficulty on the line. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAILE said that Mr. Cubitt did not use any such expression. Mr. HILDYARD hoped he would not be interrupted in this way. His Learned Friends would have the reply, which was an enor mous advantage over him ; and his Learned Friends ought to be content with that, and not endeavour now by those in terruptions to prolong a case which had now occupied the time of the public and the Committee for over sixty days. The CHAIRMAN begged that the Learned Counsel would not be again interrupted. It was not necessary, for the Committee had their notes of the evidence before them, and if Counsel should snake any mistake as to the evidence, the correction should be left to the Committee. Mr. HILDYARD then proceeded with his commentary on the evi dence of Mr. Cubitt, and referred to the notes of it. He con tended, that Mr. Cubitt proposed to place a fixed bridge over the Witham, which would have the effect of obstructing the navigation of the Witham, and to which the trustees of the public, namely, the Witham Navigation Company, had no power to consent, because they had been appointed by an Act of Parlia ment to take charge of a public trust, which they had no power to transfer to the London and York, or any other company, with out at least taking care that, to whatever hands they should transfer that trust, the public convenience should be guarded and preserved. But Mr. Cubitt was prepared to meet every diffi culty and obstruction, and was ready to propose clauses to any effect, almost, in order to grasp at the preamble of this Bill, as a drowning man caught at a straw.—(Laughter.) But the Committee would know how to deal with that evidence when they came to consider it, and to say whether those clauses had come in too late or not; but let the Committee not forget this tact, that a phrase was used in evidence to this effect, that if the London and York Company got their Bill, this Witham navigation would have become theirs, and that they could do whatsoever they pleased with it, notwithstanding any clauses that might be introduced into the Bill. The Committee had it in evidence that the towing.path of the Witham would inevitably be under water in flood times by the works of the London and York line, and therefore that fact should not be forgotten by the Committee. The Committee would also ob- erve that the London and York had originally a clause in their Bill giving a power to sell the navigation for 999 years to the Cambridge and Lincoln ;- but seeing the peril that such a clause would place them in, the clause had been withdrawn. The Learned Counsel having made some further observations, wound up his long address at three o'clock. DIRECT NORTHERN. The CHAIRMAN then directed that the case of the Direct Northern line should be gone into. Mr. COCKBURN said he would commence his case for the Direct Northern by calling his witnesses at once, and reserve his observa tions for the close of his case. Mr. Richard Dawson was then called—He deposed that he was the owner of 2,800 acres of land in Lincolnshire, and has lived all his life in that county; has no doubt but that the Direct Northern line was the best that could be devised for that county ; the cattle :raffle carried on it was immense. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIUM here contended that this case should not be allowed to go on, inasmuch as the plan had been altered, and was now a different one to that deposited originally. _ The Committee retired, and on their return stated that they would express no opinion upon the objection raised, but would al• low the case to proceed, and would hope that, as the case now be. fore them awaiting their decision was the London and York line, the Counsel would confine himself as closely as possible to the line now before the Committee. Mr. COCKIURN said he would endeavour to de so, and then pro ceeded with the examination of the witness. He said the reason he preferred the Direct Northern to the London and York was, because it was a direct trunk line. When -this witness's examination closed, the Committee ad ,ourtied.

Mr. Pringle reported from the Select Committee on group TT of Railway Bills, to whom several petitions against the Greenwich Colliery Railway Bill, together with the report of the Board of Trade thereon, were referred, that, in the case of the said Bill, the agents had attended and state d that it was their intention to apply to the House for leave to with draw the Bill, and they therefore tendered no evidence to the Committee thereupon. SWIMMING MATCH.—On Tuesday a swimming match took place at the National Baths, No. 218, High Holborn, between Messrs. George Poulton, Samuel Hounslow, of Oxford, G. Pewter, Robberson, Allen, and others, before a numerous com. pant of subscribers and other spectators. The umpires, three in number, Messrs. Pugh, Spelling, and Laver, were appointed to decide the contest. The match consisted of swimming, diving, and floating, and occupied upwards of two hours, during which the competitors &spayed a great deal of science in the various depart ments of swimming, &c. During the match a disp Ate arose between the antagonists, which created a little disturbance and noise amongst the spectators ; and whilst Mr. Horace Kenworthy, one of the pro prietors of the baths, and teacher of swimming, was endeavouring to pacify the company, a drunken fellow from behind addressed some violent language to him, and gave him a push, which im pelled him into the water, to the great indignation of all assembled. Fortunately the police were in attendance, and the man was im mediately conveyed to the station-house. The umpires eventually awarded the prizes, which consisted of a silver cup and medal ; the cup to Mr. George Poulton, and the medal to Mr. Samuel Houns. low, beating Pewter, Robberson, Allen, and others. The success of Mr. Poulton was hailed with much applause, as he was formerly a pupil of Mr. Kertworthy. LAW iNTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, July 2. The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall, and heard lunatic petitions and appeals, none of which possessed any points of public interest. ROLLS' COURT, July 2. His Lordship the Master of the Rolls was occupied the whole day in his private room with the further arguments in the case of Cardross v. Cardross. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, July 2. (Before the lics-CmAxCELLoalof EIGLAND.) His Honour took causes to.day, but in consequence of the ab sence of Mr. Bethel, the Court was only enabled to dispose of a few of the cases in the paper. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) GUY V. WAKEFIELD ♦ND HAY.—INJUNCTION. Mr. ADDIS, at the sitting of the Court. applied exparte on behalf of the plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the defendant Wakefield from receiving the sum of 4001. and upwards from the defendant Hay, and also to restrain Hay from paying that amount to Wakefield. It appeared from the statements of the Learned Counsel, and the affidavit in support of the application, that the defendant Wakefield, who is well known in the sporting world, being desirous to take an inn called the White Hatt, at Hampton Wick, applied to the plaintiff' for the loan of 300/. ; that amount was advanced by the plaintiff, and Wakefield executed a mortgage deed to him upon the property. A short time since the plaintiff discovered that Wakefield had sold the whole concern to a person named Baker for 6201. ; that out of that amount he paid his wine merchant about 2001., and deposited the remainder in the hands of the defendant Hay, to take care of for him. The object therefore of the application was to restrain Hay from paying the money to Wakefield and also to restrain Wakefield from receiving it. His HONOUR granted the injunction. The Court then proceeded to hear bankrupt petitions and causes. (Before the Vice. Chancellor Wtca►a.) His Honour was occupied the whole day with the further argu ments in the part.heard case of Cafe v. Bent. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII.JuIy 2. (Sittings in Banco before the full Court.) DOUEL b. GETE. This was a motion for a new trial, upon which a conditional rule had been obtained. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., appeared to show cause why the rule should be discharged ; and the Court, having heard counsel on both sides, decided upon granting the motion. SHANK V. KEITH. This was an application, on the part of the defendant, of a similar nature to the last. It was originally an action for tre-pass brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, tried before Mr. Justice Patteson, in which there was a verdict for the plaintiff: The motion was made on the ground of misdirection of the jury, and that the verdict was against the evidence. The plaintiff was remainder man to Admiral Shank, of the manor of Dawlish, who died in 1824, at an advanced age, having been blind for a long time previous to his death. The manor then reverted to his widow, who died in 1843, when the plaintiff became proprietor. The apecitic subject of action was the cutting down of certain trees, which grew on the boundany of the manor. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that during the blindness of the Admiral and the widowhood of Mrs. Shanks the defendant had encroached upon the boundary, and cut trees which overhung a path-way, and which trees were roofed in the plaintiff's land. The right of possession was dis puted by the defendant, who asserted that the trees belonged to hjin _ _ The case was tried at the last assizes on the Western Circuit, and occupied several days. The evidence was most conflicting, and the jury were sent to view the place. They returned a ver. diet, as has been stated, for the plaintiff'. " . 'Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder, Q C., for the defendant. Their Lordships postponed judgment. CLARKE V. SMORRIDGE. This was an action for ejectment, tried before Mr. Justice Patteson at Exeter. The Learned Judge then gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff, reserving to the defendant the power to rule for a new trial in the higher court. The case was called on to day, when Mr. Crowder appeared for the defendant and Mr. Cock. burn for the plaintiff. The circumstances of the ease were of the most simple character. The plaintiff had rented certain property to the defendant for three years, the agreement entered into between the two expiring on Lady-day, 1843. It was found necessary, however, to levy an execution before that period. At the trial at- Exeter a subsequent agreement was entered, giving the occupant possession for another year. and it was on this ground that the present action was brought. The Court reserved its judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 2. (Sittings in Banco.) The COURT, as usual, took the special paper, and only matters of he most technical character came on for hearing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A man named John Baker was charged with having committed bigamy. Ann Twig, of No. 11, Bennet street, Blackfriars-road, stated that the prisoner, and a female who accompanied him, took lodgings in her house, stating that they were married. Witness suspected that they w. re not mar ried, and mentioned her suspicions to a friend, who called at St. John's Church, in the Waterloo-road, and actually saw the clergyman perform the ceremony. The name of the female to whom he was united was Ann Gwynne, and she never slept in the house until after the solemnization took place, about twelve months ago. Sarah Gill, the wife of a steam-vessel engineer, stated that she went into St. John's Church, and saw the minister perform the ceremony between the prisoner and Ann Gwyrne. She afterwards saw them living together as man and wife in Bennet-street. Mr. Robinson (for the prisoner)—Were there not several married in that church on that day? Witness — I believe there were. Mr. Rohiason—And might you not have made a mie take in supposing the prisoner to be a bridegfoom ? Witne,s—Not the least mistake in the world. The LORD MAyoß—Y ,, u are a maxi ried woman ? Witness—l am. my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—Then you could net easily mis take a bridegroom for an ordinary person on such an occasion ? Witness—Certainly nut, my Lord. The bridegroom is in rather a differ& nt situation from that of other men at the altar.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Not the least doubt of it. Mr. Robinson—Will you venture to swear that he was married in your presence ? Witness—l will swear it. Mr. Robinson—Will you swear that you saw him put the ring upon the lady's finger ? Witness—No, but I saw him step fore and as the bridegroom, and go regu larly through the eerctn , It was here stated that the female to whom the pri soner was married on the occasion alluded to, could not be found. Sarah, the first wife of the prisoner, stated that her maiden name was Alwood, and that she had been mar ried to the prisoner thirteen years. The LORD MAYOR--Why was not this case pro ceeded in before ? The wife—Because I was confined by illness. The LORD MAYOR—Has he ceased to support you ? The wife—Yes, my Lord ; I am obliged to work for my own bread. He has left me these fire years, and refused me any assistance. We were married in Bath. The LORD MAYOR then directed that the witnesses to the first marriage should be sent for, and remanded the prisoner for some days. A girl, scarcely 16 years of age, named Eliza Griffin, was charged with having robbed her mistress. The case was an extremely distressing one, as the respectable father of the prisoner found it necessary to recommend the prosecution in the hope of saving her from greater misery, likely to arise from the depravity she constantly witnessed amongst her associates. Mrs. Byrom, a widow lady, stated that the prisoner bad lived with her upon a former occasion, and acted with integrity and circumspection, and, in fact, was a most unexceptionable servant. Lately, however, there was a change. Witness missed two sovereigns which she had placed in the kitchen-drawer, and when she was searching about for them, the prisoner asked her whe ther she had lost anything, and, upon being answered in the affirmative, expressed a hope that no suspicion at tached to her, witness replied that there was no suspi cion of the kind. Afterwards, the prisoner mentioned that her father wished to speak to witness, and took the opportunity while they were talking together to step out of the house. The witness subsequently saw the prisoner at the station- house, where she also saw four knives and four forks, which were her property, and had been taken away by the prisoner, who also acknow ledged that she had stolen the two sovereigns. A metropolitan policeman stated that the poor dis tressed father of the girl charged her at the station house with having robbed her mistress ; and witness went to a house of notorious character, near the New cut, in Lambeth. and found there in a table-drawer the four knives and four rorks which had been stolen. He also ascertained that the wretch' d girl was on the most intimate terms with a lad, aged 16, named Billy Gibbs, one of the 'nest ingenious housebreakers in the county of. Surrey, and that she had but just left him. A woman, named Bradshaw, stated that Billy Gibbs lodged at her house, hut she did not. r , 'ally know his trade or. profession. The prisoner km- w Billy, and she called at the house and said that she had procured a place, and that she would not go home that night, but she would sleep with Billy Gibbs that night. and she acted accord ingly. She produced a s o vereign, which she said she had got from her father, and she paid witness three shil lings which she owed, and she put down four shillings in liquidation of the back rent of Billy Gibbs, who did not always find it convenient to pay. The LORD MAYOR—Do you know anything about the knives and forks? Mrs. Bradshavi— She ased me to mind them for her, but I suspected they were got dishonestly and refused to have anything to do with them, and then she took them into Billy Gibb,'s room, and I heard them rattle in the drawer, and I informed the police. The policeman—My Lord, this Billy Gibbs is one of the worst characters we are acquainted with, and I should be glad to know whether I am not at liberty to apprehend him in this case. It is evident to us that he has made a thief of this unfortunate girl. The LORD MAYOR said he could not see any ground for apprehending Billy Gibbs in the present case, but as he was a person of such desperate character, he must, in all probability, soon fall into the hands of the police. The case of the girl at the bar was indeed a melancholy one, and showed bow soon depraved society ruined all sense of honesty and shame. He apprehended that the only chance the prisoner had of escaping the extremity of wretchedness was by removal from the country alto gether. She had certainly, for one so very young, shown extraordinary maturity in vice. The prisoner was then committed for trial. PARI3II OF ST. MARY, LAMBETH.—Tuesday, a vestry meeting of the inhabitant ratepayers of this extensive parish was held, to take into consideration the result of an interview and communications had by a deputation, appointed at a vestry held in January last, with the Poor.law Commissioners, on the subject of the parish being divided into wards for the election of guardians. On the motion of Mr. Wiles, the following resolution was unani mously agreed to:—" That it is the opinion of the parishioners of Lambeth, in vestry assembled, it is expedient, desirable, and in every way calculated to promote the best interests of the poor and the ratepayers, that the parish should be immediately divided into wards for the election of guardians, agreeably to the scheme sub mitted to the Poor.law Commissioners, dated May 15, 1845, by the Board of Churchwardens and Overseers."

COMMERCIAL NEWS. HAVRE, JUNE 2n. COTTON.—After the receipt of the advices from the United States by the Britannia steamer, our market as' sumed a very animated aspect. The favourable ita• pression they produced was immediately followed by 0, increased attendance of dealers, and a brisk dema lia sprung up, which has since daily been large, and in s e . venal instances to a considerable amount. The enlivenillg tenor of the intelligence from Liverpool be been in some measure instrumental in the prop", tious change that has taken place in the situation al business, to which the continued fine state of the web,.." ther has in a great degree contributed, and prices he° also felt the influence, a further advance of If. having been realised on all American cottons generally speak' ing; but during the last few days, owing to the glonalf character of the accounts from the manufacturing depsrt" ments, there was less spirit displayed in the transactions the want of activity in trade which has for, a length al time been loudly complained of, as well as an improv e ', ment in prices,which are yet far from remunerating, is slw severely felt, and tends greatly to allay the tide of o pert: tions. There is undoubtedly no overplus of the rawe material in the manufacturing districts, which of St have been very sparingly supplied; but it is neverthele o equally evident that, owing to the long protracted activity that has predominated, there is now on hand: stock of twists and yarns much more than sufficient to meet the consumption at present, and this, faereforei will account for the falling off in the sales for the 1 55 two days. The sales amounted to 10,89 3 , the iniPer,o to 4,774 bales, leaving our stock at 82,500 bales.

GRAVESEND POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. Yes— o v morning the Gravesend post-bag for the up-mail from Yes ' London, immediately before the arrival of the mail, was 4 35 .,,,, from the post-office. It appears that the bag, when made 7 . :ir put in the outer passage of the post o ffi ce, to be at • hand f's livery when the mail arrives oa its way to London. cli arrival of the mail the usual indication was given by pull signal-bell, but no person appearing to answer it, the 113 0 '' f created a noise, which awoke the postmaster, who, upon one, tion, discovered that the bag was gone. It appears that time before the arrival of the mail the bell was rung, and th e l ofr was opened by a wire attached to the lock, and leading to tb t ° master's sleeping room. He was thus saved the trouble of v ee r out of bed, the mail-guard coming into the passage upon the 04' ing of the door by the spring, and taking the bag, all read'' , I , cordance to custom, placed in the passage for him to tr o d too s , the door should be opened. The thief knew the custom. s o A , e r , the advantage of it.
