fourti)Wbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. GLORIOUS RECEPTION OF LORD PALMERS- TILE Mr. B. DENISON rose to order. The SPEAKER intimated that the Hon. Baronet he Member for the University of Oxford was entirely in order in his remarks. Sir R. H. INGLIS thought that the Honourable Member had not read the title of the Bill, or he would not have interrupted him. As he was saying, he did not wish to provoke any disunion between two houses or two individuals, but be did maintain that for a man at home in his own country, and his own house, deliberately to insult a stranger and a guest, and that guest being the representative of a Sovereign most closely united to our own be loved Queen was highly unbecoming. He could not call this individual an inoffensive individual, because that would be degrading to him, he was one of the most actively benevolent men that this country contained. His Hon. Friend had bees dragged before another assembly in violation, he would not say of the rules of the House, but of all the ordinary courtesies of life, and that, too, in the presence of many of her Majesty's Minis -1 ters ; and, under these circumstances, he felt he was not encroaching on the time of the House in making refer ence to one so attacked and so little sustained in another place.—(Hear, hear.) lie would add, in conclusion, that in his opinion the explanation which had been given elsewhere added insult to injury, for Chevalier Bunsen had been accused of not un derstanding the English language, whereas he un derstood and wrote it as well as the individual who had chosen to attack him.—(Laughter and cheers.) Ile would give his cordial support to the Bill now under discussion. Mr. ROEBUCK said his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham), who was supposed to have made the attack, stated distinctly that he informed Chevalier Bunsen, in very courteous terms, that he was sitting in the place which had been appropriated to the ladies, and requested him to retire—(Hear)—but, to the asto nishment of the Noble Lord, Chevalier Bun sen, whom the Hon. Member for the University of Oxford called his friend, looked him in the face and said nothing. On the fourth occasion Lord Brougham said, " Thea I shall be obliged to have you turned out;" and receiving no answer, he certainly did put in force the orders of the House to have that gentleman ejected from the gallery.—(Elear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not state which of the Honourable „Members' account was correct; but he must say, for himself, that the learning and repu tation of Chevalier Bunsen were such as to secure for him the respect of every individual.—(Cheers.) Ile was very sorry that anything unpleasant should have trauspiredLin the House of Lords, but, whatever feelings might be entertained in respect to that occur rence, he was sure that the Members of both Houses Parliament entertained the greatest possible respect for Chevalier Bunsen, not only for his diplomatic position, but for his private and personal character. The Bill was then agreed to. CONSIDERATION OF BILLS. The following Bills as amended were considered and agreed to:— River Dee Conservancy and Improvement. Timber Preserving Company. Westminster Improvements. SECOND READINGS. The National Gallery (Edinburgh) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. An Hort. MEMBER presented a petition from Dundee against the Weights and Measures Bill. Sir R. H'INGLIS presented 33 petitions against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Sir J. TROLLOPE presented similar petitions from places in Lineolnshire. An Hort. MEMBER presented a similar petition from Sherborne, in Dursetshire. Mr.. HOPE presented a petition to the same,effect from Gloucestershire. Mr. MUNDY presented a similar petition from 'a place in Derbyshire. Sir J. DUCKWORTH presented a similar petition from Bristol. Mr. B. DENISON presented a similar petition from the West Riding. Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented a petition from some individual, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Commis sioner ionblanque in a recent case, and praying the House to institute an inquiry into it. Mr. BUCK presented a petition from North Devon against the admission of Jews to Parliament. Mr. CAYLEY presented a similar petition from the East Riding of Yorkshire. Mr. ANSTEY presented petitions from the city of London, and from Clerkenwell, Southwark, and the 'rower Hamlets, in favour of the Marriage Bill. GAOLS IN IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPE asked whether the Government in tended to bring in a Bill to remedy the grievances inci dent to the over-crowding of gaols in Ireland, founded on the report of the Inspector-General of Gauls in Ire land ? Sir G. GREY was not aware that any alteration in the law was necessary. The reason of the gaols in Ire land being so crowded was the great number of convicts sentenced to transportation, who could not be forwarded to their destination so soon as could be required. MONTHLY PUBLICATIONS AND THE STAMP DUTY. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether monthly publications containing news were liable to the stamp duty; and whether it was true that the authorities at the Stamp-oflice bad inter fered with a monthly publication called the Freeholder; and if so, why that publication had been singled out for such interference? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER !mid it was true that a monthly publication was Liable to the stamp duty as a newspaper, although it was published once a month. He could assure the House that the same course had been pursued with respect to the Freeholder as with respect to all other papers. FOREIGN POLICY.—MR. ROEBUCK'S MOTION. On the motion for reading the orders of the day. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that as the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield had given notice of a mo tion for to-night, he was quite ready to move that the orders of the day should be postponed. At the same time, as the Government wished that a full and fair discussion should take place on the subject, he should leave it to the lion. Gentlemen who had amend ments upon the motion to say what course they would pursue. Mr. ANSTEY. intimated that he should not press his amendment. Mr. HUME said he should exercise his own discre tion upon the subject. Mr. ROEBUCK then moved: "That the principles on which the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government have been regulated have been such as were calculated to maintain the honour and dignity of this country, and in times of unexampled difficulty to preserve peace be tween England and the various nations of the world." He said it was his duty towards the House to offer an explanation of the reason why he made this motion. In his opinion, a Government constituted like ours, a large portion of whose policy had been condemned by one great branch of the Legislature, was unable to main tain the interests of this country intact, and to consult the great interests of the people of England, or to hold the reins of power, without affording any explanation to the other House. When any one portion of our Legislature had expressed an opinion so direct and so plain, it became the duty of this House to ascertain what was the conduct to be pursued by the Go vernment of the country, and to express their opi nion upon the same point. Ho was quite prepared to admit that no Government was called upon to resign upon a vote of the House of Lords. Ile quite agreed with the Noble Lord in that.—(Hear, hear.) But in a constitution like ours, in which it was thought necessary to have a House of Lords, when they had explained their own feelings, it was right that this House should step forward and say what the people of England thought upon the matter. If the Noble Lordj had determined after that re solution to go on with the Administration, and bad permitted the matter to drop without any fur ther inquiry, the present Government would be like Governments he had seen supported by opinion which was scarcely an opinion, and impotent as regarded the country and Europe in general. It was for this reason that he had come forward upon the recent occasion, and be was sure no one was more desirous for an ex planation than the Noble Lord himself.—(Hear, hear.) He would now address himself to the question before the House. The House of Lords, in that mode which suited their peculiar habits, Chad, in as strong a phrase as was generally used in that House, made a plain, simple, and clear declaration, condemning the foreign policy of the Government.—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the nisi prius fashion in which the whole matter was considered by the House of Lords—(Hear) — in spite of all the small technicalities which would have made the fortune of a young man at a quarter sessions, or in the Queen's Bench, while investigating an affidavit— in spite, he would say, of the modejn which the proposi tion was dealt with in the House of Lords, it amounted to a condemnation, in general terms, of the spirit and foreign policy which had been adopted by the Government. In e po ne li i c t: in to th t i h s e consideration of this subject he confessed he was inclined to come to a favourable conclusion re specting the Noble Lord who was at the head of the foreign that he country, expecteda il but it was not to be understood sped to the Noble Lord, feeling of approbation with re any other Member d, fur he had as frequently as lie quarrelled with particular acts le of the Noble Lord's policy of his policy. agreed Lol l i a cy, though in many entirely . with the prin y Government, and deprecate. Theninstnces he had seen muc h peoplementhosheeappre. foreign policy of ever appre hended, affected two classes of re garded individual rights and wrongs , and those who who r and , h re garded of country. He believed, as regarded individual rights garded the general interest, dignity, their and wrongs in reference to foreign nations, the object of the Noble Lord had been to extend the protection and shield of England to her wandering sons, who were carried or pleasure, or necessity, to various the world—to extend o ver b r y e go ns commerce, o t, Item as much as the roles of civilized nations would permit the broad shield of English pro tection.—(Cheers.) Whether they went to the despotic country of Russia, the free country of America, or to insignificant or helpless, the confines of any power, with regard to the interests of th is countr y as a p eo p le, he believed the policy of the Noble Lord had been in the first place to maintain the peace of the world —(Cheers)—not by truckling to despotism—(Cheers)— but by teaching all foreign countries with whom we had any relations, that England, as far as could be permitted by the rules which regulated international communica tion, would bring the great moral power of her name to the maintaining of constitutional liberty, as against treachery on the one hand or despotism on the other.—(Cheers.) He could not suppose that there could be a Minister in this country who was .the4ivOc.ate oklegitimacy, which , after all was another, though a softened expression of a SUN, LONDON, much harder thing, the object of which was to make tyranny safer in Europe.'— (Hear, hear.) He believed these antagonistic principles were now on their trial.—(Hear, hear.) lie believed the House of Commons was now called upon toAdecide .... not the Ministerial existence, for that, as far as he was concerned, mattered mighty little—(A laugh)—but upon those two principles, that was, whether England should oppose or support despotism—should oppose or sup port abroad the principle of the Government that prevailed at home?—(Cheers.) England did not seek by polemical force to thrust its pro postions upon any people, but it did seek by its moral influence—which was every day growing in Europe, which had already shattered down many thrones, and would shatter down some that still existed, to extend peace and civilization—to say to the world, " We are favourable to those splendid truths which in the hands of enlightened and confident men have made nations great and people happy."—(Cheers.) He looked at the large results which had followed that policy since the Noble Lord had held office, and taking those large result, what did he find? Let him com- pare, in a' few words, the results of the policy that had been pursued by England from the year 1830 to the pre sent time with the results of the policy which was pur. . . . _ sued by England from 1790 to 1815 --(Hear.) In 1789 first broke out that grand result, which he said was the increased enlightenment of Europe against despotism. In 1789 commenced tho French Revolution, and the whole _ . result of that event depended upon the view which Eng land took of what was even then calltd legitimac). The Governments of Europe took the bide of the Legi timatists, and unfortunately England supported them. The consequences might be seen, might be read in the most terrible conflicts that ever disgraced the history of man.—(Hear, hear.) Blood was shed like water, and wealth scattered about with an extravagance the like of which no record exists—(Hear, hear) in the annals of any nation on the face of the earth. — (Hear.) :From 1789 to 1815 all the great bonds that cemented nations together were broken up—nations were separated into enemy and enemy, and relations of every kind depended upon force—he who was the migh tiest in the field was alone to be respected.—(Hear.) mankind looked on with absolute astonishment and horror at the devastation, strife, and confusion, that followed, and it was only when the exigencies of numerous nations induced them to unite their energies and power in overthrowing the mighty Napoleon that peace was again restored to mankind.—(Cheers.) Legitimacy was once more established again in France, and from 1815 to 1830 there was a constant tide moving against it amongst the great body of the French people. —(Hear, bear.) At length in 1830 the volcano burst, and the legs timacy of the Bourbons was scattered to the winds for ever.—(Hear, hear.) He felt it due to the great man who was then at the head of the Councils of England to state that the principles which now actuated the British Government owed their origin to him. The Duke of Wellington was then at the head of the English Councils, and he of all men was the most fitting to deal with the crisis. —(Cheers.) His position, his capacity, his powers, and his history and knowledge of Europe rendered him peculiarly fitting 'for the occa sion, and it would ever be a source of benefit to Europe that he bad the courage to take upon himself the responsibility of dealing with it.—(Hear, hear.) Eng land sided with the French people, and it was therefore to be expected that the revolution of France should be followed by imilar occurrences in Belgium, Poland, and other nations; but England at this time set an example to the world, by accomplishing a peaceful revolution—England dispossessed the House of Lords of the power of ruling the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) The revolution of France was carried by barricade, by the revolution of England was carried through the forms of the House of Commons. That affected not merely a change in our Government in that particular, but changed the Government itself'. The first question submitted to the Noble Lord was the revolution of Belgium, and he could say there was no part of the Noble Lord's policy which more deserved commendation than the foresight he evinced on that oc casion. —(Hear, bear.) If the Noble Lord had followed the suggestions of many around him he would have pro posed a separation of Belgium from Holland. The people in this country were careless of foreign politics; they were insular by their position and their habits, and the Foreign Minister was more than any other man re sponsible to this country, simply because the people of England were careless of foreign politics. Therefore he said the noble Lord on that occasion, if he bad listened to some around, would have separated Belgium from Holland. (If he had done so he (Mr. Roebuck) believed a universal war in Europe would have been the consequence, and he was certain that, in 1848, Belgium, and the other dominions of Holland, would have at once wrested her self from all unnatural alliances, and seized on France, which she would have called her natural friend and ally. —(Hear, hear.) And then down again would have come the Northern Powers, and we would have had repeated the scenes which characterised the period between 1790 and 1815. Therefore, he said, not wasting the time of that House on little-minded technicalities, but judging of :the Noble Lord's policy on the broad principles of wisdom and justice, that policy on that occasion was iestrumental in preventing a fruitful source of misery to mankind. Ile (Mr. Roe buck) believed that to have been the type of the Nobly Lord's government. On a sudden that House had beet surprised by a revolution in Greece. There were three parties to that revolution. There was Greece, which re presented thy. despotism of Europe on the one hand, ann France and England on the other. In Greece he found a monarch coming from Bavaria and educated in a smal German Court. He (Mr. Roebuck) felt degrade° when he saw the name of England prostituted in such a discussion. lie wanted no representative in the shape of an ambassador to protect our interests at Fo reign courts, but the great name of England inst ea d Th French wishing to get rid of that which did not represent the French people, which did nor represent French feelings, which was simply a bane of men who were gathered together for a special one and purpose, one set working under-hand and over-hand. for the purpose of asserting legitimate monarchy, and another set under the prostituted name of order, en deavouring to maintain their own individual ministerial existence. these were the men who had been aided by the worst of men, the wild band of men, who, under the shield of Liberty, endeavour to introduce their wild anarchichal ideas into society, the Socialists and Communists of France. These were the men who had lent their aid to the Monarchical party, who had dared to try to reduce France again to her former state. Such was the position of affairs when on a sudden the people of England were told that Admiral Parker had received orders to proceed to the PirMl.l9. And then that celebrated power in an other place, which was always ready to oppose anything liberal in government, at any time, stepped forward with the majority which, indeed, they always had, though they did not always think fit to use it, though they orten threatened. He did not know how many times ho had beard this session, " Ministers will be in a minority in the Lords ;" and the ordinary answer, he must say was—" Who cares. Well, there was a curious cir cumstance with regard to these orders of Admiral Parker's, and he would ask the House to bear it in mind. The people of Hungary had risen against the despotism of Austria. In a glorious but unfor tunate conflict they bad succumbed to the united forces, of Austria and Russia. The patriots—he would presume to call them so—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers)—fled, and where did they go for succour? To Turkey. With that bloodhound pertinacity which always distinguish despotic Governments, they. were tracked slowly and surely to their hidings place. And then was sent to an independent Government the most insulting demand that ever was sent by an insulting Governmen. But the the Noble Lord nobly representing two nations, stepped in an said " This shall not be."—(Great cheering.) All glory to France, who had assisted us at this time, and the sight of a British fleet in the famous bay of Salamis, stopped these wretches, and vindicated the law of nations. Now, was there anything in the claim itself unusual or contrary to the law of nations, He would first take the case of France. The law of nations he took to be,correctly speaking, no law; it was a sys tem of general morality, in which the rules were necessary vague, and depended rather on the expression of a country than any thing which bad been settled by a tribunal. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then referred to the assertion which bad been made, that the proceedings of the English Government with regard to Greece were without prece. dent, and mentioned several instances in which France had demanded compensation for injured French subjects. residing in foreign states, but had refused to accept the mediation of this or any other country. He alluded to those instances as striking lessons, not only to members in that House, but to members in the Cham ber of Deputies who spoke without knowing what had been done by their own country. (LEFT SPEAKING.) 1 CONSECRATION OF MISS BURDETT COUTTS' CHURCH, WE S TMINSTER. - To-day was appointed for the consecration, by the Bishop of London, of the new church, in Rochester row, Westminster, erected through the liberality of Miss I3urdett Coutts. In the grounds attached to the school a large marquee, gaily decorated, had been erected, in which all the workmen (about 500) engaged on the building were regaled, after the ceremony, on the good old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding. The school-rooms were taste fully decorated and set out with a cold collation, supplied by Gunter, for the refreshment of the distinguished visitors. The schools are adapted for the reception of 240 boys and 2CO girls. The total expense is estimated by the builders, Messrs. Rigby, of Millbank, at about 30,0001. The church is dedicated to St. Stephen, and the Rev. W. Tennant, M.A., has been appointed as incumbent. The company began to arrive shortly atter ten o'clock, amongst whom was his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Miss Burdett Coutts, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, Lord and Lady Willoughby, Lady Antrobus, &c. &c. The Lord Bishop of London was attended by the Rev. Mr. Humphreys, the Rev. Lord John Thynne, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Ripon, and the clergy of the dis• trict. The solemn portion of the ceremony was performed by the Right Rev. Prelate and the assistant clergy; after which the company partook of the chjeune prepared for them. A merry peal was rung from the church tower. The houses in the neighbourhood were decorated with flags and flowers. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.-011 Saturday last Mr. John Milne, of Blackett- place, Newington, for a wager, went from his house there to the summit of Arthur Seat and back again within twenty-six minutes, being ten minutes less than the stipulated time.— Scotsman. ARRIVAL 6F GENERAL GARIBALDI IN LIVERPOOL. will be interesting to our readers to learn that, on Saturday, General Garibaldi, the celebrated defender of Rome, arrived in this town by the steamer Queen from Gibraltar, which reached the Mersey at three o'clock in the afternoon. The General, who was accompa nied by an aide-de-camp, looked exceedingly well in health, and appeared in excellent spirits. Indeed, we are told that he was par`icularly cheerful and agreeable during the voyage. We believe the General will remain in Liverpool for a short time, and that he con templates a visit to America. A Paris letter, written some TON BY THE PEOPLE. Lord Palmerston came down to the House in his car riage shortly before five o'clock this evening. An immense crowd of well-dressed persons was assembled around the Members' entrance to meet the Noble Lord, and the ENGLISH MINISTER was, on his appear ance, greeted by the hearty English cheers of those assembled, and who thus testified their approval of his spirited English policy. The English people will not be Russian serfs, whatever Eng lish Tory aristocrats may choose to be. The Noble Lord had evidently not expected such a reception, but it was equally evident that he was well pleased with this spontaneous burst of hearty English feeling in support of him who is par excellence the ENGLISH PATRIOT MINISTER. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court sat specially this morning to dispose of bu siness standing over. Mr. Justice CBE/SWELL delivered the judgment of the Court in a great number of cases, but nothing of general interest occurred. (Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD Ciaur JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) LONGHORE U. BUSSEY. The Court was occupied this morning with this case, which was an action for the recovery of 481. 17s. Bd., due partly as the balance of a bill and partly for goods de livered. The defence was that the date of the bill had been altered by the plaintiff between the time of its being drawn and of its becoming due; and as regarded, the goods, that by the arrangement of credit entered into between the patties the payment was not yet duo. The evidence was of great length, and very contradictory —one witness swearing that an erasure apparent in the bill had been made before the bill was drawn, and another witness that it was done three months afterwards. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. TATTERSALL'S—THIS EVENING Six o'cLocs.

After the examination of the Council of State the Bill will have to be submitted to the Legislative Assembly, where it will have to be read three times, which will require a long delay. It is even difficult to foresee the period at which the new Bill will be adopted, but the Government will do all that depends on it to hasten the vote, and, if ne • cessary, to carry it into execution." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) 'HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. SMALL TENEMENTS RECOVERY (IRELAND: BILL. Lord FARNHAM moved the committal of this Bill, the object of which wss to extend the Act of 1848. The . Earl of CARLISLE thought it would have been better to wait for the Bill now in the House of Com mons on this subject, but as he saw nothing objection able he would not oppose the committal of the Bill. Their Lordships then resolved themselveslinto Com mittee. The Bill passed through Committee, and the House resumed. YOST-OFFICE SUNDAY DELIVERY. Lord BROUGUAfiI again drew the attention of their Lordships to the inconvenience arising from the abolition of the Post-office Sunday delivery. In ene case. relating to the. trial of an im portant cause, persons had been obliged to send off a 50 cull ,express, and in another instance a 'ph)'sician had :ortunately been sent for on Friday, and received t',e letter on Saturday, and went to see his patient, but i: illness had occurred on the Saturday, and the Itti , r had not been delivered until the Ntinday morning, the patient would have died for v►ant of medical assistance. He hoped the' Government would not persevere in carrying out a decision of the House of Commons which had beer! stirprise. He was sure the carrying- Out the rule would tend to the desecration of the Sab bath. • ' 'The Marquis-of LANSDOWNE was not surprised at hesiing the statement of his Noble and Learned Friend. He had made inquiries as to the point of law raised by • his Noble end Learned Friend as to the power of the Crown to step the Post-office Sunday d- livery, and there could be no doubt but that the Crown had the power, but it certainly would not have been exercised but for ' the'vote of the House of Commons. Lord BROUGHAM said the Government hid e monopoly of the• delivery of letters, and if he were not p.rmitted to send letters himself, the Government cer tainly was bound to send letters at all times. Lord MONTEAGLE said that whatever the law might be,.if this obstruction was persevered in the laW would be evaded, to the detriment of the revenue, and to the profit of the smugglers, who had been compelled to become smugglers by the absurdity of the law. PUBLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for the Committee of this Bill • The Earl of MINTO said that the Bill was" op'en to considerable objections, as it gave too much power to the ' • justices to whom it give the power of deciding the number of public houses sufficient for a district, and also ' gave them the power of selecting what houses should be liceneed. Lord liINITAIRD supported the Bill. The Bill had received the general support of the people of Scotland. He should be very happy to introduce certain amend ments in the report. .12he Earl of .MINTO would not object to its cora zaittal. ; :The Bill then passed through Committee. POST-OFFICE SUNoAY DELIVERY. Lord BItOUGIIAM paid that in reference to the Post;office Acts, the Government was bound to receive, 4 . carry, and deliier letters, and therefore they had no ,;" power of stopping the delivery. LOSS OF THE ORION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked if there .., L was any objection to produce the correspondence re. .2,„llating to the loss of the Orion off Portpatrick. If the 4seket station had not been removed from that port, the boats of the packet service would have been on the spot, and-the loss of life would have been lees.

The LORD CHIEF BARON asked whether, under the circumstances, it was worth while to take up any further time? Mr. MARTIN, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Temple), for the defendant, said that the lady and the defendant had been most cruelly persecuted by the plaintiff; but the Learned Gentleman was interrupted by The LORD CHIEF BARON, who said—l do not wish to know more of the case than is sufficient to enable the Court and the jury to do justice between the two parties to the action before us. Mr. MARTIN—The Ecclesiastical Court pronounced the separation on the ground of cruelty and adultery of the husband. _ _ . The LORD CHIEF BARON—If a man permit his wife to live with another man for so many years with out endeavouring to prevent the intercourse, or to in duce her to abandon it, he cannot maintain an action fur criminal conversation ; the verdict must neces sarily he for the defendant. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIGNS, June 22. (Before Mr. Sergeant .InAms and a Nench of Magistrates.) Robinson Boyd, a respectable-looking-man, surren dered to take his trial upon a charge of having as multed Ann Maria Tallont. Mr. Bsllantine appeared for the defendant. The prosecutrix deposed that she had been living as servant at 67, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square, in which house the defendant occupied apartments. On the 6th inst., at his request, she went into his bedroom to fetch some waistcoats. He followed her thither, and committed the assault now charged against him. According to her statement the defend ant's conduct to her was grossly indecent. In cross-examination she denied that she had boasted to any one that she should get some money from the defendant on this charge. She was eighteen years of age. She did not make any noise, nor call for assistance when the assault was committed, be cause he held one of his bands over her mouth. She immediately told her mistress and her fellow-servant of what had occurred. _ _ The Learned JUDGE was informed, in answer to a question, that there was no other witness in the case. He then said be felt bound to complain of the manner in which this case had been treated at the police court. Here was only one witness bound over to prosecute, and though it was so important that her evidence should be corroborated, the magistrate had not bound over the two witnesses, to whom the girl said she complained of the defendant's conduct. When such evidence might have been bad, it was not right to send a case for trial on the evidence of one witness only. It was intimated that the prosecutrix's fellow-ser vant was in court, and she was called. She stated that the prosecutrix did till her that she had been im properly treated by the defendant on the day in question. When the case was before the magistrate the prosecutrix said to witness, "Boyd will be fined a lot of money, and I shall get half." Mr. BALLANTINE, in addressing the jury, con tended that the statement of the prosecutrix was not confirmed in any particular, and asked them not to convict upon uncorroborated testimony, considering how many cases of this description were got up for the purposes of extortion, and how extremely difficult it was to answer such charges when preferred. The Learned JUDGE said it appeared to him that the issue was gross and wilful perjury on the part of the girl, or guilt on the part of the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Jaws Thorpe, the conductor of a Chelsea omnibus, No. 1,523, was charged with the following flagrant act : Mr. Henry Griffithi, of 57, Blsingball-street, de posed that between eleven and twelve o'clock that morning he entered the defendant's omnibus in Sloane street, and shortly afterwards handed a half-crown to the defendant, asking him for change. The defen dant turned adroitly round, and said, "This is a bad half-crown," and offered him a bent one. Mr. Grif fiths told the defendant it was not the one he gave him, whereupon the latter called him a " smasher," and told him he got his living by passing bad money; and persisted in keeping the half-crown and the change. A policeman, who took the defendant into custody, said that, on searching him, a good half-crown was found upon his person. He had previously said that he had no half-crown in his possession. Alderman CARDEN postponed the further hearing, and ordered the defendant to find bail to appear on Tuesday. The following account of the conductor's conduct was given by a gentleman who was present during the above examination lady got into the omni bus in the Strand, for the purpose of being set down in the City. Upon reaching Cheapside the handed Is. to the conductor, expecting 9d. change, but he coolly deposited her money in his pocket, and when she asked him for what she was entitled to receive he laughed at her, gave the wink to two females inside, and told her it was all right. Upon peremptorily demanding her change the fellow terrified the lady by saying she had better hold her tongue, as he knew what she had been about, at the same time pointing to a small bundle which she carried, and intimated to the two women that she was no better than a shop lifter. The hint was soon taken by the women, and the lady was glad to escape from their company, and to take refuge in a shop, but she was so shocked by the incident that she was unable to give such infor mation as could lead to the identification of the offender. Alderman CARDEN said he feared that ladies were in many cases prevented by their fears from bringing fellows who followed such desperate courses to jus tice. He hoped the encouragement which prosecutions of the kind received in the City would induce those who were robbed or insulted to aid the magistracy in punishing the delinquents. He trusted that if any other passengers had been subjected to such treatment as that of which Mr. Griffiths had complained, they would not hesitate to come forward on Tuesday. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE, QUEEN'S BENCH, DUBLIN, Julis 17. HURLING U. PAUL. This was an action for breach of promise of mar riage, and the defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. V,TIIITESIDE, Q.C., stated the case of the plain tiff. The present was an action for breach of pro mise of marriage —one happily occurring but seldom in this country, and the more seldom the better. The plaintiff was a widow lady, and formerly a Miss Palmer ; and at present her age was about 26 or 28. She was left a widow with two young children ; and Mr. Sperling, during his lifetime, was possessed of a good landed property, and a gentleman of respec tability. The defendant was a partner in the house of Vincent and Paul, implement manufacturers, pos sessed of an extensive foundry in Blackball-street. The defendant was a Scotchman, and nothing could be said against him for belonging to that noble country. He was about thirty-eight years of age ; and, therefore, in the age of the parties there was nothing unsuitable, and nothing which would have been calculated to make it unlikely that their union would have been a happy one. The time covered by the events which would be the subject of inquiry by the jury extended from November, 1849, to March, 1850 ; and in November the plaintiff, who was a lady of agreeable manners and attractive appear ance, came to town on a visit to her brothers, who carried on the business of drapers in Thomas street. It appeared that the defendant met her at the house of a respectable lady, whose name it was not necessary to mention. He was attracted by her person and manners, and saw her home that evening. He then visited at the house, and com municated his intentions to the plaintiff's brother. His visits became frequent, and finally his atten • tions were such as led him to be regarded as the future husband of the lady. He invited her to his house. He had a party to meet her, placed her at the head:of the table, which she expected to occupy for the remainder of her life ; and although there was a very pleasant company present on that occasion, he left them to see the plaintiff home, although thereby he might have appeared to have neglected the duties ex pected from a host seeing his guests in his own house. It would be unnecessary to go through the various acts which showed the nature of his attentions. But he spoke frequently to her of their marriage, and asked if Mrs. Sperling intended that the two young children should live with them ; and, looking no doubt, to the prospect of a large family, he stated that'if the house in Blackhall-street, which he erected, would not be large enough, he would build a larger one. He disclaimed against the idea of mar rying for money. His worship was at a purer shrine than that of Mammon. He said he might have had girls with money, but that his affectiOns were placed on the plaintiff, and that he was desirous of uniting himself to a sensible and judicious woman calculated to make him happy through life. The Learned Comm', proceeded to detail how the defendant won the lady's affections, and then broke off his solemn engagement to marry her. Mr. John Palmer, the brother of the plaintiff, deposed to the facts stated by counsel. Cross-examined by Mr. MARTLEY--I will not say that the plaintiff's husband was not alive in August, 1848. He died in either that or the previous month. It was in the latter end of November I first saw the defendant at a party at her house. What was going on there ?—The ladies were drinking tea and the gentlemen doing the same. Was there nothing stronger than tea?—There was punoh afterwards. And were the ladies taking a share ?—Yea ; they were taking a little. And was there nothing else at the soiree ?—Yes ; we had a few songs. On that occasion there was attention paid to my sister. There was not a regular dance that evening, but a kind of jumping about. What game was playing ?—Forfeits. And in what were they paid?—Some in hardware and some in soft goods.—(Laughter.) What were the soft goods ? Give me a bill of particulars. What were the soft goods ?—Hand derchiefs. Anything else ? Are you or Ito pronounce the word first—were there any kisses ?—There was an abundance of thern.—(Laughter.) It constitutes three to make an auction, and two for a kiss ?—Yes, to complete it.—(Laughter.) Some consultation having taken place between counsel, Mr. MARTLET said that he could not struggle against the evidence last given as to the existence of a contract, and they had agreed to allow a verdict to go for 1001. The jury then returned a verdict for 1001. damages and 6d. costs ; and the many ladies who were in court seemed rather disappointed at the abrupt termination of the proceedings. EMBARKATION OF THE POLISH REFUGEES, RECENTLY ARRIVED FROM MALTA, AT SOUTHAMPTON. FOR AMERICA. (From the Hampshire Independent.) A party of these men, forty-six in number, left the Royal Pier on Wednesday morning, for Spithead, to embark on board the ship American Eagle, for a passage for America. Mr. Taylor the lessee of the tolls, kindly allowed them to go on board free, and Captain Corke, on the part of the company, gave them the free use of a steamer to convey them to the ship. Previous to their departure some French and Polish,Testaments were distributed amongst the exiles, by Mr. It. Laishley. The mayor was in attendance to bid them farewell, and on leaving many of them were affected to tears by the kindness shown them. In fact, all the inhabitants of Southampton have been remarkably kind to these strangers during their resi dence amongst us, and we are glad to see that kind ness so gracefully acknowledged in the letter from Lieutenant Szulczewski, secretary of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, which we publish below. Rather more than one half the ori ginal number having decided on remaining in Eng land, at least for the present, most of them have gone to London, where they will endeavour to obtain employment, until they can return to their own country. Others have resolved on going, as soon as they can obtain passports, to France, Belgium, and Prussia. Twelve only remained here yesterday, of whom four were about to set out for Manchester. The following is the secretary's letter, and, as he expresses all that we could say in thanking the inha bitants of the town for their hospitality, we let it speak for itself : Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's, London, June 20, 1850. My dear Sir,—Havitig been obliged to leave South ampton yesterday, immediately after the embarkation of forty-six of my unfortuate countrymen, who had served in Hungary, on board the steamer Duke of Buc clench,' to join at Spithead a ship which will convey them to New York, I had no time to return you their warmest thanks and my own, for all the kind and valu able assistance, which, to your great inconvenience, as well in your official as in your private avocations, you have so generously and so efficiently bestowed upon men wbo had no other claim on your sympathy, except that they are the victims of the wrongs of Poland and of Hungary—countries where they have shed their blood, in the cause of national independence, and of civil and religious liberty. You are aware of the history of these refugees, and how they came to be thrown upon a British shore, reduced to a state of misery; they found in you, sir, and through your noble example, in the inhabitants of Southampton, all the delicate attentions, assistance, and support, which they might have expected from their own families; in one word, a welcome that recalled to their memory the domestic hearths of which they are now deprived. It would be invidious to mention any one in particular, where gratitude is so justly due to all; but I cannot help referring on this occasion to the services of Mr. Short, Mr. Falvey, Mr. Clark, Mr. Canaway, Mr. J. Smith, Mr. C. Turner. Mr. Purchase, Mr. Taylor, lessee of the pier tolls, Mr. J. C. Sharp, Captain Cork, and others, who have taken a more active and prominent part in the arrangements you have so ably superintended, for the comfort of my countrymen. Sent by the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, President of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, for the purpose of prevailing upon my countrymen to go to America, as no prospect of em ployment or any permanent relief could be held out to them in this country, I had every opportunity of judging what an arduous task you had undertaken, and how important its fulfilment would be to the future welfare of the exiles. They felt this themselves, and testified it by their conduct, and by the tears which your farewell speech on the pier, and the affectionate manner in which you parted with them, drew from the eyes of many of them. In thus tendering you, sir, and the inhabitants of Southampton my sincere acknowledgments. I am only complying with the wishes of all my countrymen, who have been the obje3t of the care and solicitude of your town; and who will never forget your respected name.— I have the honour to be, my dear sir, your obedient and humble servant, C. SZULCZEWSKI, Secretary, To Richard Andrews. Esq., Mayor, Southampton. • MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) Although the week did not commence very promising, we find, upon the whole, that a large amount of business has been transacted, and the active inquiry for shares in most of our leading mines, which still continues, gives a favourable impetus to the market generally. Inquiries exist for South Basset, South Frances, Pendarves Con sols, Wheal Seton, Lamherooe, Wheal Maria, Comfort, Trethellan, East Pool, and several other leading mines. Wheal Mary Ann ore was sold on Wednesday last; the two parcels, amounting to 158 tone, realised 2,231/. At Stray Park, Comborne Vean, and Wheal Francis Mines two-monthly account, a dividend of 15s. per share was declared, leaving a balance in hand of 573/. The agent's report is very satisfactory. At the Budnick Consols meeting, held at the mine, on Monday last, the accounts for January, February, March, and April showed—ba lance on December 31,2081.; ores sold (less dues), 2,0771.; carriage of tin, 35/.=-----2,321/.; cost and merchant's bills 2,2711.; leaving balance in favour of adventurers , 50 /. At Wheal Tremayne account 'for March and April the statement of accounts showed balance in fa vour of mine of 9761.; and a dividend of 10s. per share was declared, carrying to credit of next account 4641. At Condurrow bi-monthly meeting a balance of 471. was found in favour of the company. At the two monthly meeting of Wheal Golden Consols the statement of accounts showed a balance of 4141., being profits for the two months. Two parcels of silver-lead ores were sold, amounting to 72 tons, realizing 9811. The mine is re ported as very encouraging. Tenders are now being made for 36 tons. At the East Pool meeting, held at the mine, on Tuesday last, the accounts were presented, showing—balance from last account, 893/4 costs and merchants' dues, 1,0601.1,9541.; by ores sold (less dues) 7821.; two months' water-charge, 1201.= - - - 9021. showing balance against adventurers, 1,052/. A call of 51. per share was made. At West Tolgus account a call of 103. per share was made. The East Birch Tor meet ing, after a lengthened debate, was adjourned. At the Wheal Sophia meeting the accounts were presented, showing (reckoning all outstanding calla paid) balance in favour of the company 501. A call of ss. per share was made. At the Wheal May meeting the accounts showed that 62/. odd was due to the merchants, and otheis, and that 2,000 shares remained unsold, the esti mated value of which, at par, would leave a surplus to wards putting the mine to work. The lease had been paid for by 1,500 shares, instead of 7501. in money. At the Wheal Treacoll meeting the accounts for April and May, showing a profit on the sales of tin, were passed. South Plain Wood and Moditonham shares have been done at a premium. In Roche Rock and Wheal Har riet Mines, recently resumed under favourable auspices, we learn that several shares have changed hands at an advanced premium. In the Welch mines it is said that the most satisfactory progress is making. In Foreign Mines business has been done in St. John del Rey, United Mexican, Australian, Linare!, National Brazilian, Cobre, and Santiago. The usual report has been received from the Linares mines, confirming former advices. The tribute department is looking remarkably well, and the tutwork operations progressing satisfacto rily. The dispatches from the Alien mines will be read with interest. The estimated produce for May is given at 164 tons of ore, containing about ten tons of fine cap per; and, though no material change has taken place, the general appearance of some of the lodes is very sais factcry. The adjourned meeting of the Guadalcanal Mining Association was held on the 19th inst., when Captain Rule attended, and confirmed his report, fur nished at the former meeting. After a long and desul tory conversation, it was resolved that the present com pany should be dissolved, and a committee of six gentlemen should be formed, for the purpose of bringing forward some proposition for the reconstruction of the association. • RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS LIVERPOOL.

In this action the plaintiff sought to recover da mages against the defendant for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. This was certainly one of the most extraordinary cases which ever came into court, and the defence on the record was almost as singular as the case ; for we cannot Gall to mind having seen a plea like the present. The defendant first denied the allegation of the plaintiff, by the plea of not guilty, and secondly, alleged that the lady in question was not the plain tiff's wife. Mr. HUMPHREY, Q.C. (with whom W AS Mr. Lush), in opening the case, said that in an action like the present, he bad not to appeal to the sympathies of the jury to consider the outraged feelings of a hus band. He could not profess that they had been out raged, for this action was, in fact, brought in conse quence of there being issue by the defendant and plaintiff's wife, who might at some futu re p er iod be made chargeable to him. The circumstances of the case were these :—The plaintiff, at the time of his marriage with his present wife, then Mary Eliza Berry, was employed in the silk and ribbon shop of Messrs. Leaf. He established himself in the same line of business soon after his marriage, but had, un happily, been very unsuccessful. The plain tiff and his wife had, for some reason, dis putes, or, to use a milder te rm, differences, which, although she had borne him two children, tplaintiff by all in thea seeing n g means his rendered it expedient that they should part. The lady went to li ve w ith her parents, who fomented th e quarrel e wiinfe, and probably induced power, obstructed h her to take the step which had actually been taken— of proceeding against him in the Consistory Court to procure a divorce, w hi c h suit ended in the Court giving judgm en t for a separation h mensa et thoro. It was clear that this was a judgment merely of sepa ration, and did not in English law amount to a divorce, so as to enable either party to marry again during the lire of the other; and further, it did not free the plaintiff from the liability of maintaining any issue she might have, even by another, while both he and his wife were in the same country, for it was the rule of law in such a case that he was to be held as the father, who was in fact or in law the husband. The plaintiff's wife having, subsequently to the sen tence, contracted an intimacy with the defendant, and had tWo children by him, the plaintiff felt bound and entitled to come before a jury to seek compensation for the injury inflicted upon him. Yet he (Mr. Humphrey) must admit that the action was, in tact, brought, not so much for damages, as to enable the plaintiff to free himself from the liability which now was or might at a future period be imposed on him, of supporting and educating children that were not his. The marriage was proved, and also that all con- follow : Great Northern, 105.8—York, Newcastle, and B , wick, 151 A. THE COUNT' LITERroor., Juxie 22.—Th , I. d. s.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 22.—N0 material change has oc curred in the state of the trade during the week. With a con tinuance of most favourable weso her the firmness previously existing has been maintained, and approved marks of fresh made lour, of which the supplies barely keep ; pace with the demand, have moved off steadily on arrival on fully previous terms. Oatmeal at the same time meets a moderate sale at late rates. At our market this morning no lively s ymptoms were apparent, but for all articles factors steadily adhered to the full currency of this day sennight, which was realised i n the business transacted. NorrallonAM, JUN. 22.—Wheat—Holders of finest sam ples held firm for higher prices. Millers had, therefore , to give a trifle more per quarter—say, from 6d to Is for primest qualities ; second rate ditto, without alteration. A restricted trade was the consequence. No alteration in either flour or bread. Barley—Buyers who purchased for grinding would scarcely give the figures of last Saturday; 15 stone per sack as the weight. Oats found buyers at last week's quotations . Beans and peas were dull of sale from the favourable reports of the growing crops ti this year, no blight having shows at present on the haulm or blossom. Seeds—Trade very dull, el' cept for red, white, and Swede turnips. Prices given thi s day :—Wheats—White, from 44. to 47s per quarter ; ditto, red, from 37, to 42s 6d per quarter. Barley frets 20. to 2 45 per quarter. Oats, from 15s to 19s per quarter. Beans, frost 271 to 29. 6d per quarter. BOSTON, JUNE 22.—Wheat—Much less offered for sal° than on Wednesday. Factors were snore ready to buy, sou° fine reds making Is per quarter more money. Second and ferior sorts without alteration in price. Weights generally ,lB stone of 141 b net per sack. Oats—The supply but moderate, yet sufficient for the demand. Best fengrown Poland., wolg it. ing 12st to 12st 81b per sack, fully as dear ; common feed t° moderate demand. Prices without alteration. Beans—Bes t ticks, weighing 18st 71bs were a shade dearer; comma, fo r splitting, sold freely at last quoted prices. Barley, peas , a n i rye without any difference in price. Tares, cole, and sm al l seeds of dull sale. Red wheat sold at from 36s to 411 Per quarter ; white, ditto, 40s to 44s per quarter. Oats, from 15 to 17s per quarter. Beans, from 23s to 281 6d per quarter. Barley, 22s to 24s per quarter. Malt, 50s to 545 per quarter; Flour, 265 to 32s per sack of 2801 b. Bread at from 4d to 5° the 41b loaf. LINCOLN, JUNE 21.—Wheat was but sparingly offered; millers had, therefore, though with evident reluctance, to gill Is per quarter more money for all kinds of fine grinding sar° - pies, both white and red, nearly all shown being sold at that advance. Flour also readily sold at ls per sack more money' Barley nominally as last week, maltsters having ceased buyiofq the only lots sold were for grinding. .Melt and barley we ts without alteration in price, although sales were slow. . and other horse corn as last week. 1 COL C HESTER, JUNE 22.—We have not to note any act ual advance in the quotations to-day, but the prices of last W ee ' have been well sustained. At Chelmsford on Friday late rates were upheld, and busi ness was active. In Suffolk the supplies have been rather scanty, and in some cases higher prices have been given for wheat. At Woodbridge red wheat advanced Is. At Stowmarket on Thursday wheat also advanced a trifle. In the other markets of the county late rates have been maintained. DERBY, Juwx 21.—Wheats a very moderate supply, larg e farmers holding back for higher prices • yet millers this ' ls t would not submit to an increase. Sales were, therefore, at the prices of this day se'nnight. A very small trade in bar ley. Oats, beans, and peas purchased only for urgent want s ' at last quoted figures. Bread and flour remain the sam e ] ; Prices as follows :—White wheats ( weighing lest per se net), 44s to 47s per quarter ; red wheat, ditto, ditto, 40s w 440 per quarter ; beans, 26s to 28s per quarter ; peas, 271 to V e per quarter ; oats, 168 to 188 per quarter ; grinding barley 20s to 221 per quarter • flour, 30s to 321 per sack ; bread 4i to 5d per 41b loaf; malt, 52, to 51s per quarter. STAMFORD, JUNE 21.—Wheat—Farmers appear unwillid to bring their wheats to market at the prices now offered, eo n ' sequently the number of samples shown are limited, the n'te r ' chants and millers scarcely finding a sufficient quantity to sur e • ply their wants ; some bright samples made Is per quarter WI . money. Barley not being in demand for anything but grin". ing, there was not much wanted ; trade for such was therefor heavy. Oats went off at a trifling advance. Beans and pels being so little asked for, no change in price was observe Wheat, white, 42s to 44, per quarter; red, 37s to 405 ditto ; barley, 20s to 24s ditto; oats, 145 to 16s ditto; beans, 23s t 0 27. 6d ditto.

We have to report some arrivals lot. abroad which, no doubt, have had their effect on the 101 . 4. The receipts of home grain are not worth noticing. The e l ; & ness doing in Wheat, whether Irish or Foreign, has ra Fe dragging one, but without any change in prices. In `-' ll . o uld have no transactions to record. Holders, we believe, i s . bu t now be willing to accept the rates quoted in our IW:ors' buyers are disinclined to come forward. The result is& ge„, st al ; inactivity in the market.
