IMPERIAL P IRIAAMENT. HOUSE OF CO V.VONS. June 4. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) SCHOOL ESTABLISHMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord MELGUND moved the second reeding of this Bill. His reason for doing so was a conviction which he entertained that the means at present existing in Scotland for the education of the people were not so ex tensive as they were supposed to he, or as was necessary. The system of education to b,, established under this Bill would be supported by local taxation, and placed under a certaia amount of local management. The system which he wished to see created was that which the people them selves could superintend the working of, and be was most anxious that nothing should creep into this Bill which should seem to indicate that the Legislature wanted to specify what should, and what should not, be taught. His own opinion, however, was, that religious and secu lar education ought to be separated, and Dr. Chalmers had often propounded the doctrine that any legislative measure for regulating the education of the people should be entirely divested of the religious element.—(Hear.) At present there were some 5 000 schools in Scotland, and of that number 1,800 were unconnected with any religious sec t. The Noble Lord then briefly reviewed the legis lation of past ages on this subject, and proceeded to ob serve, the population of Scotland was about 3,000,000. Now, allowing five children for every thousand would give 600,000 as the number of children in Scotland. Two hundred thousand of those were educated in schools belongieg to the Free Church, and allowing 100,000 as the number educated by the schools uncon nected with any sect, they would have a clear result of 300,000 children at present in Scotland whose education was totally unprovided for. The object of this Bill WB3 to remove that vast extent of moral destitution, and the mode by which he proposed to attain it was easy of acquisition, simple iu its operation, and comparatively speaking inexpensive. He would not detain the Hoa longer, but appe a li ng t o th e H ous e to give the Bill their beat consideration, he would sit down moving its second reading.—(Hear. hear.) Mr. F. MACKENZIE deplored with theNobilne Lord the amount of moral destitution that prevailed Scot land, but he thought the means of b e . ducat t i h on e could be greatly extended without h cl e t a et r uj ) disturbing g No one could system.—(Cries of dispute successfully " rha e rlegielatien was nectissery in on the subject, because it was high ' time that something was donenor the education of children Scotland, but the question was far too important to be It ft in the hands of a private Member. It would be much better, therefore, that this Bill should be aban doned, and the whole question referred to the consideration of a Select Committee. The session was too far advanced to admit of that beingdone now, but there was no hurry required in framing their legislati on on the subject, and the question mist we ll b e taken up t ee a t the beginning of next sees i on , age. He objected to this Bill oa the ground that it would effect en entire dis ruption between the parish schools and the Church of Scotland, and alter the mode of electing the school mestere. It was proposed to throw their election into the hands of the ratepayers, and he was very much afraid if that protease! ;etre ultimately adopted it woule prove fatal to soy system of education. In the next i place he objec4d to the Bill, because it made no provi sion for religious insteuction; and he should therefore move that the Bill be read a eecond time this day six imeelhe—(H,ar, hear.) M.r. HUME thanked the Noble Lord for the trouble he had taken in promoting this all. Ut all things which tee House had neglected that which related to the education of the people it h id neglected the most, and it really was the dioy of the Ho -se nob to establish some effective legitietieu ou the subject. The Hon. Gentle men who opposed this Sall said he did so because it would teperate education fr,,ra the Church; but the Hun. Member forgot that hitherto the duration of the people had beau entrusted to the Church, and how wee ftthy it had betrayed its trust ries to be found in the fact th it two-thirds of the children of Scatlaed were totally destitute of education.—(flear.) Sixty or seventy years ago the people were far better eduetted titan they were now, and he needed no other proof than that to convince him that the time had arrived wizen a ralicel chen"e should be mal e in the system. The duty of the school. master and sae clergyman ought to he seperatee, and he, for one, felt indebted to the Noble Lord for having made this effort to accomplish that object. Mr. C. BRUCE was quite ready to extend education in Scotland. but if the opinions and wishes of the pe tple of Scialand were to influence the House, this Be. ought to be rej, twee. The existing system of education had coneerred great benefits upon the people of Scotland, and they 'sere therefore opposed to a Bill wnich pro posed to overturn it. If there was one qutstian upon which the minds of the people of Scotland were ma le np, it was this—they were determined that the reli gtoue and secular education of their children should not be separated; and he could nut believe that either the House or the Government would be guilty of the injus tice of passing this Bill in defiance of their wishes and opinions. The LORD ADVOCATE thought that, at all events, the course of the debate hail shown that there existed great ntcessities ter the enlargement of the means of education in Scotland, and for itemediete inquiry into the proper me hod for carrying this out. This was admitted on all sides of the itieuse. He himself should rec rd his vote for the second reading of the Bill, because ho thought it wou'd show that he was ready to do something fzr the relief of this want, and he thought the Noble Lord was entitled to the best :hanks of his country for bringing forward the measure. As to the objection which had been urged against the 3ill, that it was ietecded to subvert the parochial sett:eel, he thought that was easily answered by the fact, that beyond the range of the present system there lay a mass of ignorance which they could not deal with. As far as religious education went, he was glad to rind that the Bill did not exclude religion from its scheme, because in that cese he could not have supported it. Ho could river consent to exclude religion from education systematically, except in those cases where it would really prevent any education at ail being given. The establishment del not number na we than half what was called orthodox Presbyterians, and that being the case, was it reasonable to say that they should exclude those who did not belong to the establishment, though they adhered to all its formulas? Fueling there was no greater foe to tho moral end political progress of the people than ignorance and deficient means of education, he should give :tin cordial vote for the second reading of the Bill.—(Hear.) Sir R. INGLIS objected to taking away the duty and privilege which belonged to the Church of Scotland, as well by its social position as by direct Act of Parlia ment, via, the instrucion of the whole people of Scot land. It was the only Church which the State ac knowledged ia that country, and it had a solemn duty committed to it, which it had hitherto fulfilled, and if the House desired to extend educa tion in the country, let the duty of the Church be increased rather than place it in the hands of others. All the intelligence and the superiority of the Scotch people were to be attributed to the present parochial system of education. Leek at the number of phi losophers, historians, and poets. to which Scotland had given birth, who not only adorned their native land, but exalted the a hole empire. In the small district of Westerkirk, in Duinfriesshire, containing only a populat lion of 600, Sir John, Sir Pulteney, Sir Janes, and Sir Charles Malcolm, had received their education, and could the House point, in any other part of her Majesty'. dominions, to one pariah-school which c Mild produce such 'nee? If the present system had been productive ef such great re the Fletite e:tht not dmlish it without having sults ' seine better u reason. t for e doing 1 1 , 7 3 4 1 h:11 those eleged by th e Noble Lord.—(l - lea”.) tly der ite d that there were. defect» of detail in the eXiStin g sy ste Nor did he but was that a reason for abolishing it? in tuan lspute that there was a great want of edu cationjoieed to see that of Scotland, tind he should be re expttcavtant supplied, but he could not consent to it at the of education oughtetoof"ll4i°" principle. All system people for its object,atat have the godly bringing up of the and the greatness of Scotland as a nation w as the education of attributable to the fact that t h a t principle. It cevaßrarsiepdeqoupiltee was based upon clear to him that if this Bill were religion would become a secondary consideration in the education of th 600,000 children, to whom th e Noble Lord h a d re f erred, ° M r . lt,lACGß, se il t l o wou and be therefore E c G al o le Rd u t p h o o n ug th h e t t il h j o s u Brejectldnonfer a great boon upon Scotland , and he wen q word i t a h fi a e t d ould had a h d e well thinking portion of the Scottish community w agre e w i th hi m . Agreeing with every w fallen from the Lord Advocate of Scotl and, he should give his hearty support to the Bill. Mr. COWAN was sat isfied that wi thout religi ons could be prosperous or happ y , teaching no country Y, but no testa could secure religious education, an d he therefore hoped the test system that now pre va il ed in Scotland would be speedily abolished. With regard to the Bill itself, he hi g hl y approved of it, more especially as it made provision for providing a higher standard of excellence in those who wore entrusted with the education of youth. In his estimation that was the most important part of the Bill, and he trusted it wo uld rece iveand the best attention ultimate sanction of the House. The present pa rochial syst em of this Bill would have not so perfect believe, for those who had the management the House as the opponents qualifications of those too often neglected . o examine the of parish schoolmaster , e te whom they appointed to the office additional rea son for his supporting trit:nd.ll. that was an Mr. CHARTERI the result of the division not pretend to say what but he entreated the House the Bill would fo be,. t overthrow a system which now to pause . f b re toi Scotland, for the sake of replaem e -l ave Sat" s° ' l°n • e with a plan, which as yet was untried, and which,hel would undertake to say, would eventually prove unauccessful.—(Hear, hear.) The supporters of the Bill themselves admitted that its details were defective ; and they were so, it would be ho could not help next session. much thinking, that while better to postpone the auestion till The eriminal returns of Scotland satisfied him that the pre sent parochial system was sound and good at bottom; that there was room for improvement in its details he was far from denying, but, at the same time, he was very much afraid that the plan proposed by the Bill to be substituted for it would turn out to be far more ob jectionable, without removing t h ese sectarian differences which the Noble Lord seemed to desire. Lord JOHN RUSSELL entirely concurred in what had fallen from the Lord Advocate, and he should not have felt called upon to address the Howe had it not been for toe speech of the Honourable Mt 'ether for the University. The Honourable Baronet seemed to be under the deluseen that th is Bill would embrace only the secular ire truction of the people. Now it was not the intention of the framers of the Btu tet t uclude religion, ed ucat i on f rom their plan, but before religious element should be mixed up with 'the * secular the local tatepeyere should be required te give its sanction to such a proceeding. It was not disputed that fur- ,~ -({.~~ Vy LON DON, THE SUN, agreed to a Bill which no one who supported the second reading agreed would afford a well-digested or perfect system of education to Scotland. Mr SCOTT said this was the first time of a Bill being introduced, not only for separating religious and secular instruction in Scotland, but for talicinff away all the ties of the Government and the enurgover the instructors. He should vote against the measure. Lord MELGUND having replied, The House divided, when there eppeared-- For the second reading ... 124 Against it ... ... 137 Majority against the Bill ...-13 The Bill was consequently lost C9UNTY COURTS FURTHER EXTENSION BILL.

ATANCHF.STER, TUESDAY.—iIy the Europa of the 21 , t eta we learn that the advices vthich the Cambria took out from Liverpoel on the 31 ult. had occasi coned a further giving way of ie. to 4 p r ib. in the price of cotton at New York, but that a recovery of ic. f I;ovsed the arrival of the Franklin, three days afterwards. In the sou7hern markets, also, there continued to be a decline. We have, however, seen a letter from Mr. William Mure, which states that "it was announced by telegraph from New Orleans that the receiots were rapidly decreasing; the sales of he week were 28,000 b a l es , an d th e mar k et firmer, with middlings at 9:. to 94c" The ele!ess in the receipts at the ports is stated to be 263,000 ogles; but it is adeged that later telegraphic advicos from New Or leans announce that the excess in the Atlantic ports was then 280,000 bales. Ai the small deficiency at Savannah is tally made up by an excess at Charles ton, this would represent a total excess of 250,000 bales, and consequently continued large receipts during the last week, a tact which does not agree very well with Mr. Mute's statement. At any rate, the receipts in the last week, of which we have full particulars, namely, that ending 21st of May, were larger than those of any former year, at the same date; and they appear very decidedly to point to a crop or not less than 2,000,000 bales. Seeing in these re ceipts a reason for expecting some further fall in prices, to which the advises from Liverpool cannot but contrihute, the buyers in this market have shown less disposition for business than they did last week; and we have to report, therefore, a quiet day in yarns and goods at large. The accounts from the East have also helped to weaken the somewhat more active tendon cies observable last week. At Bombay, the transactions in goads and yarns had indeed been considerable during the fortnight, yet lower prices had been accepted— partly under the pressure of heavy arrivals, but partly also from the inducement of a more favourable rate of exchange, in which however there had been fluctuations. At Calcutta the prices of many articles—though not all —had somewhat receded, and the exchange had also slightly yielded. With such intelligence, the India mer chants have been little inclined to give orders for shirt ings, or indeed for yarns, which are not so unfavourably reported of; atilt, there have been inquiries for some de scriptions of the latter. The continental houses have operated very cautiously; yet some of the yarns they take, particularly 30's water, are fully as firm as they were last week. The home consumers do not find warps and weft lower than at the date of our last report— except slightly, perhaps, in some kinds which form ex , ceptions to the general rule. On the whole, the marks is steady; and all parties appear to feel that, free as pro. ducers are from stock, they will now be able—with less and less reference to cotton—to take a firmer stand on more profitable prices than those which prevailed before the fall of the raw material. Already, the spinners and manufacturers find themselves not only in a safer but in a more beneficial position, and in one requiring far less capital for the working of their establishments. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market continues flat, with very little doing. English wool is firm, with a limited amount of busine - ss; and colonial wool may be obtained at rather easier prices. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufactured goods trade remains in the same unsatisfactory condition as quoted in our last. Notwithstanding the near approach to the close of the spring season ' we remain still with out alteration fir the better. This dull state of busi ness is unfortunately evidenced by a large number of our operatives remaining without employment. Tnrown Siik—The demand for this article is characterised by. if anything, increased flatness, and it is generally acknowledged, that so great a deprsssion has not existed in this dlcartment for a caries of years. Prices, although extrem-ly low, are nominal. Raw Silk—Rather more business has been doing, which has had a tendency, in some instances, to give increased firmness in price, which /darn() had been wavering. HALIFAX. SATURDAY.—There have ben rather more persons in our piece hall to-day, and a little more busi ness has been done, especially in fancy goods. Both in yarn and wool the demand continues alike dull, without any noticeable change in the quatations. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have little or nothing to notice in the woolien trade since our last report. There has been a good a; tendeince of buyers at the market to-dsy, but not many goods have changed hands. There is a fair business doing in the warehouses, and prices are without change. GRE A BRITAIN AND ATLANTIC. We are glad to observe that the Great Britain is main to launch her huge form upon the bosom of the waters. Being purchased by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., she has been placed in the Sandon Graving Dock, where she is receiving a thorough " overhauling," and undergoing such repairs and improvements as will be considered necessary. The execution of these repairs, as far as the ironwork is concerned, has been intrusted to Messrs. Vernon and Son, and about 150 workmen have been employed at the vessel durin g th e l ast f ortn i ght removing the injured and wori l:roken part s an d prepar i ng the moulds for the new of 500-horse p - The engines being condemned, they have been removed, and those by which they are to be replaced are beinß built by Messrs. Penn, of London. They will be operationa corn ewer. The preparations of machinery fur facilitating the repairs have just been completed, and us h er e d on Saturday.

This Royal per sonage also visited the Atlantic, which is now being repaired in the Huskisson Dock. The Great Britain, we beli«v e is intend, d to run between Liverpool and N 9,V York, and will be ready for sea in Septemeer next. We understand that Captain Mathews, late com mander of the Great Western and City of Glasgow, is appointed commander. The steamer Atlantic, too, as we have already intimated, is in course of being re paired and retitled. Sh e has got on deck a ne w and very large dining-saloo n , in which 9 (io pessons (...in be come niently seated at dinner, Toero aro also new side houses, and several other apartments are they means of education were required in Scotland; indeed it had been stated that upwards of 349 localities were without any school at all; and that fact being con ceded, he should have thought the House would not ob ject to enter upon a consideration as to how that want should be supplied. Well, then, the want being universally acknowledged, why should they mix up the religious controversies that now agi tated Scotland with this Bill, the immediate object of which was to fill up the vacuum that prevailed in the existing system as it was now ad,Dinistered. None of the religious sects were opposed to the extension of the parochial system, and he, for one, could certainly see no reason why the House should reject this Bill. The principle was unquestion• ably good, though some of its details might be detective, but pass the second reading, and it would be open to th''m to refer it to a Select Committee to settle its ma chinery.—(Hear, hear.) Sir GEORGE CLERK had waited anxiously to hear upon what ground Government could support this Bill, and now it seemed they had formed an erroneous impression of its scope. The Noble Lord, for • - I stance, who had just sat down, told them that the Bill would not separate the religious from the secular education that beforeof the tpheeoyp allowede;but et the e t h ß e b t o e quite satisfied of pass, because if ho were not mistaken the Hon. Member for Montrose etated that he supported it under the im pression that it would separate these two principle's. If the people of Scotland were not sufficiently educated it was not for the want of a sufficient number of local and district schools. He believed that if free schools were established, at which education would be given gratuitously, they would not be generally used, for the labouring population, actuated by that spirit of indepen dence which had always characterised them, would rather send their children to a school at which they had to pay for instruction. His countrymen were impressed with the idea that what was got for nothing w as of little value. The great advantage of the present parochial schools was, their close t b h l i e s r h e e d was C a h u r d c e h fi . e e n H ey e connexionwasready withto adm th it e th E at sta of education in those large towns which had grown up within the last 50 years, but that deficiency had been greatly overrated. There might be classes who would not avail themselves of parochial schools, but he saw no objection to the extension of educational grants to them under the direction of the Committee of the Privy Council. Those grants were, in his opinion, peculiarly well adapted for Scotland. He considered that the House would take a most dangerous step 0A1"7.11.7.8. Names of I I r...

The old dining saloon is converted into a fore cabin, by melns of which 80 additional passengers can now be accommodated. Th.- present saloon is handsome and well fitted up, and communicates directly with the pantry; the latter, also, is connected with the kitchen and its offices, and affords every facility for culinary operatims. On the after part of the saloon are the wheel-room, smoking-room, and apartments for cap tain and officers. The windows of th• saloon are of beautifully stained glass, outside of which there are " glass lights," to be drawn over them as oc sion may require, and also " dead lights," to be used in heavy weather. That part of the refittings to which we have referred has been superintended by Messrs. Mackay and Miller, and they have executed their task with much credit. By the new arrangement not only can more passengers be accommodated, but there can be taken on board 200 tons more cargo than before. That portion of the machinery which it has been fuund necessary to renew is supplied from the Soho Works, Birmingham. New entablatures were re quired, and the wheels also needed repairing. One of the entablatures, weighing 17i tons, is already in its place. and the repair of the starboard wheel is being proceeded with. This splendid vessel is intended to be ready for sea in the early part of July next. —Liverpool Albion. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM. PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.

BRUSSELLS, JUNE 2.—ln the sitting of the Senate, Baron Roger interrogated the Cabinet relative to the Ministerial crisis ; upon which the Minister, Rossier, replied that the men who were charged with the for mation of a new Cabinet would be best able to give a satisfactory solution. Upon this the President, M. D mon Dumartiers, rose and said that under existing re lations no other Administration could be thought of than that which had pursued such a successful policy since August 12, 1850; that neither a Cabinet of the Right, nor a mixed Ministry was possible; that only the former Ministry was capable of efficiently carry ing out the policy hitherto pursued, ani he deeply regretted that the Ministry had manifested too great a degree of sensitiveness at the opposition which they met with in the Chamber. The Minister Rossier replied that the resignation of himself and his colleagues resulted from a far more serious cause, inasmuch as it included the whole of their financial plan, in which the most important interests of the country were involved. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The mortality of London has been greater than usual during the four weeks of May. In the first three re turns of the month the deaths numbered respectively 1,041, 1,002, 1,000; iu the week ending last Saturday a decrease occurred, but not of considerable amount, the number having fallen to 990. Taking the weeks cor responding to last week of the ten years 1841-50, it will be seen that the mortality, which in one instance fell so low as 736 (namely, in the fourth week of May last year), did not in any case exceed 9 60, and th a t t h e average was 855. If this average be raised in propor tion to the supposed rate of increase in the population, it will amount to 933; compared with which the 990 deaths of last week exhibit an increase of 57. Last week was not more fatal than usual to persons of advanced age, while rather less than the usuaal number died in the middle stages of life, the augmented rate of mortality being entirely confined to the youthful part of the population. The zymotio or epidemic class of diseases produced last week 220 fatal cases, and of these 169 occurred amongst children under 15 years of age. Small-pox had fatal termination to 23 persons, six of whom were 20 years of age and upwards; measles carried off 39 chil dren; scarlatina 10 ; hooping-cough 64 ; and croup 5. Of these complaints, almost exclusively confined to young persons, hooping-cough much exceeds the usual contingent, and scarlatina falls still mare below it. To diarrhea 16 deaths are ascribed; to dysentery 6; to erysipelas 11; and under typhus, which shows about the usual amount of fatality for the presextt time, 32 are enumerated. The above class of diseases exhibits an increase on the preceding week; but those which affect the organs of respiration show a diminution. Laryngi tis numbers five cases, bronchitis 51, pleurisy 6, pneumonia 64, and asthma 7; these, with other undefined diseases of the lungs, numbering in the aggregate 136 deaths, which is rather more than the corrected average of corresponding weeks. Four diseases are comprised in the tubercular class— scrofula, from which five deaths are enumerated last week; tubes mesenterica, which counts .10; hydrocepha lus 35; and phthisis, or consumption, :250. In the ton corresponding weeks of 1841-50, the lowest number as cribed to consumption is 10s, and the highest 166. , STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING TaR PAST WEEK . ,M SUNDAY.— The clouds were slightly broken during the A morning, otherwise the sky was covered with cloud through , out the day.

Charles Blo.rham, a clergyman, who was on Monday charged netore the Lord Mayor with having stolen a shilling out of a plate at the Church of All Hallows, Barking, on Sunday last, was brought before Alderman Wire for further examination. The publication of the statements made on the first examination having occasioned much interest and curio sity, a Humber of persons attended upon this occasion. A solicitor attended for the prisoner. Henry Charles Rawlings said—l am a farmer at Hythe, in Suffolk, and I also keep the White Lion Hotel there. Soma time since the prisoner came to my house, and in the course of the evening and on the following morning I had interviews with him, and ho told me that he was in communication with the Rev. R. Campbell, the vicar of Hythe; that he was not acquainted with the reverend gentleman, but that he had received orders to preach on the following Sunday. He then left my house, and took lodgings in Church-street, at Mr. Short's, where he resided till he absconded in my debt. He re peatedly preached at Hythe Church, and was not only smeemed, but was a very great favourite with the con gregation, at the houses of some of whom, and amongst others that of myself, ho has been entertained. I come here voluntarily, f or t h e purpose of furthering the ends of Justice, having seen the report in the newspapers of his former examination. The prisoner's solicitor contended that there was no evidence to show that be had actually taken the shilling which he had been charged with having purloined out of the plate. Mr. Farley, of No. 3, Newcastle -street, said—l keep a coffee-house. The prisoner came to my house at the beginning of last March, and stated that ho was rector of Bury St. Edmond's, and he went by the name of Locklaw. He lodged with me a fortnight. On Sunday morning, the 16th of March, he told me he was going to preach at St. James's Church, Albany-street, Regent's park, and I told him I should go and hoar him. 1 could not find a church of that name, and I went to five diffe rent churches in the neighbourhood, thinking that I might have made a mistake myself. lie never returned to my house, but he wrote me a note next morning, tell ing me that the omnibus in which he had been riding had broken down in Oxford -street, and that he had been prevented by that accident from proceeding on his journey, and was confined to his room, but that in a few days he would call and settle his account. Ho paid his first week's bill, but he left the charges of the second wet k unpaid. Alderman WIRE said he could not think of discharg ing the prisoner until after further investigation; and he prisoner was accordingly taken back to prison. Pk MARLBOROUGH-STREE7'. Jesse Hider, a cab-driver, was summoned before Mr. Bingham for refusing to take Mr. Christopher Darby Griffiths, a county magistrate, of Pad worth-house, Read ing, to Scotland-yard, when required to do so, under the following curious circumstances:— Mr. Griffiths said, on the 20th of May he was cross ing Regent-street, and saw defendant creeping along and plying for hire. The defendant stopped and plied him, upon which ho said, " Drive on, sir, or you shall drive me to Scotland-yard." The defendant replied " Don't treat me like a dog—treat me like a Christian." He said to the defendant, "Ton must recall that expression or I shall get into your cab and make you drive me to Scotland-yard." The defendant refused at first, but afterwards he did drive him to Scotland-yard. After some conversation in Scotland-yard, at the office, he put down Bd., and he told the defendant if he took it up he would bring the matter before the public. The defendant did take the money. On cross-examination the complainant said be was an acting county magistrate, though ho had not been much engaged in that way for the last three years. He opened the cab door himself and got in. He asked the defendant to apologise. The defendant would not allow that his proceeding was illegal. The defendant offered him personal apologies, but he did not desire them. The defendant said he was sorry if he bad offended him; but he told the defendant he did not require per sonal apologies. A professional man, who attended for the defendant, asked the complainant whether he would have summoned the defendant had he declined to take his fare? The complainant appealed to the Bench to know whe ther hypothetical questions were permitted. Mr. BINGHAM said the defendant had been summoned for refusing to take the complainant as his fare, but it appeared to him the allegation of the refusal was not sus tained. The three or four minutes which elapsed before the defendant took the complainant to Scotland-yard were the consequence of the altercation which had arisen between the complainant and the defendant as to the nature of the apology that was to be given. The de fendant had ultimately taken the complainant to Scot land-yard, and under all the circumstances he must dis miss the case. HAMMERSMITH. William Thomson, a decently•dressed man, aged 44, was charged with having made a violent attack on Mr. Fear gus O'Connor, M.P. Mr. O'Connor having been sworn, said, on the previ ous night, between nine and ten o'clock, as he was re turning from the House of Commons to his house at Notting-hill, defendant came up to him and accosted him, and he requested him, if he had anything to say to him, to come to his house at eleven o'clock. Defendant came accordingly, and rang violently at the door, and made a great disturbance. Witness went out for the purpose of giving him into custody, when defendant seized him by his collar, knocked his hat off, broke his guard-chain and eye-glass, and then seized him by the throat. At that juncture a police -sergeant came up and took him into custody. At that time defendant appeared to be quite in a frenzy. About three months ago defendant smashed the windows of his house, and was at that time committed for two months. Police -sergeant Davis, T 20, said that while on duty on the previous night at Notting-hill, hearing a great noise, he went to the spot, and saw the defendant very violent outside Mr. O'Connor's house, and declaring that he would not leave until he saw him, for he owed him between 601. and 701., and that he would break open the house mil -, t,4 he saw him. When Mr. O'Connor came out defendant fastened on him with both hands, and witness and another constable, who came up also, had great difficulty in getting defendant that ff Mr. O'Connor.

ADMIRALTY COURT, June 4. TIIE JANE—SALVAGE. (Before Dr. LTISHINGTON.) This was an action broueit by Lord Francis Russell and the officers and crow ou board her Majesty's sloop of-war Tweed, to obtain salvage remuneration for ser ♦ices rendered to the brig Jane from the sth to the 10th of February, 1849. The brig was outward-bound from Liverpool to Buenos Ayres with a general cargo, and having on board 76 emigrants. She struck on the English bank off the mouth of the river Rio Plata. and, the crew and passengers having been landed, the Tweed conveyed the cargo to Monte Video, where it was sold, and the proceeds, amounting to 1,8004, transmitted to this country. On behalf of the owners, it was contended that, as the services were rendered by one of the Queen's ships, a less amount of reward would meet the case than if they had been rendered by a vessel belonging to pri vate owners. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Addams were heard for the salvors; and Dr. Twigs for the owners. The Learned JUDGE said that the principle had long bee❑ settled that officers and crews in her Majesty's ser vice were entitled to salvage remuneration, and he would not disturb it. He allotted 3501. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 4. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE) IN RE TENNANT. The bankrupt, William Tennant, of Chertsey, in the county of Surrey, draper, came up upon the question of certificate. The balance-sheet, which commences June 15th, 1847, and ends February 19th, 1851, shows the following:—Surplus on the 15th of June as per balance, 221 ; creditors, unsecured, 1,8211.; ditto, holding secu rity, 50/.; property given up to assignees, at cost price, 9611., estimated to realise 7001.; debtors, good. 71.; ditto, doubtful, 761.; ditto, bad, 1641.; property held by creditors, 107/ ;' losses, 271/. ; trade expenses, 277/.; domestic ditto, 1111. His HONOUR granted a certificate of the second class. The bankrupt was not opposed. IN RE BARLICR. The bankrupt, John Barugh, of 31, High Holborn, oil and colourman, came up on the question of certifi cate. The balance-sheet, commencing January Ist, 1849, and ending February let, 1851, showed the fol lowing:—Creditors, unsecured, 1,8941.; ditto, secured, 9501.; creditor holding bill o f sa l e, 2431.; creditors for rent, 331.; liabilities, 74/.; profits, 5491.; capital January Ist, 1849, 201. Debtors, good, 4451.; doubtful SL; pro perty assigned over, 3501.; property held by creditors, 1,310/.; liabilities as per contra, 74/.; trade expenses, 6741,; interest and discount, 1131.; law expenses, 195/.; house and personal expenses, 4331.; losses, 1654 The bankrupt was not opposed. His HONOUR, upon being informed that the assignees had no observations to offer, remarked that there should have been some made. There were no real profits, and there had been transfers of property immediately in con templation of the bankruptcy. He (the Commissioner), under the circumstances, could not allow a higher than a third-class certificate, and he had a little doubt whether he ought not to have suspended it. Third-class certificate granted. Mr. YARDLEY—I do not wish to see you in that place (the dock) any longer, but if you will insist on preaching you must do it without causing obstruction in the public streets. Prisoner—Look at Punch and Judy, and the public street singers. Mr. YARDLEY—AII who cause obstructions must be treated alike. There can bo no objection to your preaching . if you cho ose p roper p l aces . However good your intentions, you cannot cause obstructions in public thoroughfares. Prisoner—l only returned to London the other day, but before doing so I wrote to Lord John Russell, Sir George Grey, and the Commissioners of Police, intimat ing my intention of visiting Hyde-park and other places. When taken a short time ago by a City policeman, at Billingsgate, the Lord Mayor told me to go. This is the third time I have been arrested now, and yet I never in terfere with parties or politics. Mr. YARDLEY—I was about to let you go, but as you seem inclined to persist, I shall be under the painful ne cessity of ordering you to find sureties. After several attempts on the part of Mr. Yardley to extract a promise that the offence should not be repeated, and a good deal of evasion on the part of the prisoner, on the ground that ha was bound to preach the Gospel, finding that the worthy magistrate was about to carry oat his threats, the prisoner took out his pocket-book, and saying, "I will soon settle that," made some memo randum, adding, " I must promise if you insist." Mr. YARDLEY —Then on that condition you may go. The Rev. Boatswain then left, accompanied by his proteges. TilE TRUCK SYSTEM.—A greengrocer and general dealer of Lower Shadwell, named Hutchinson, appeared to answer the charge of four ballast men, who com plained that he refused to remunerate them for work and labour done. The case exhibited a system of great hardship, of which the ballast-heavers are now very justly complain ing. The defendant is one of those who engage with masters of vessels to supply them with men who work at the ballast-heaving, and according to the statement of the complainants, instead of paying them cash for their labour, he paid them rotte❑ meat, at the same time lowering their amount of wages. Mr. YARDLEY asked Roche, the gaoler, if he knew the rate at whiAi ballast-heavers ought to bo paid?— Roche—No, sir; but I know that these poor men are treated by the factors, who pay in kind, wore than the coalwhippers were formerly used by the publicans. Mr. Ratcliffe, solicitor—The system is one of the most crying evils of the day. Mr. YARDLEY-It is much to be regretted that the Truck Act does not apply to all trades. I should like to know, Mr. Hutchinson, what you receive for the job? Defendant -245.. Sir. Complainant—He got 295., Sir. Mr. YARDLEY—If your meat were good there would be no neceaaity for adopting this mode of disposing of it. Defendant—lt is good. Complainant—Why, at one time you gave me a shoul der of mutton which was as green as a leak. I'd get better meat in the Highway for 3id. than you charged me 6d. for. They sell as good for cats. The defendant called a witness to prove that the men agreed to take provisions, and said that that was the only profit he had by the job. Roche—These people never allow the men as much as the captains would pay; and, moreover, they cannot go to a re:.pectable shop. Mr. YARDLEY—It I find that any person pays off men with bad provisions, no matter what bargain may have beea entered into, I shall not consider the debt as dis charged. Defendant—The meat is in salt for the men. Mr. YARDLEY—You will have to get other customers for it, then. I order you to pay 245., the amount claimed 2s. costs, and 3s. other costs. Defendant—What are the other costs? Mr. YARDLEY—Pay the sum I ordered, sir-295. The parties then left, the decision giving general satis faction. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Lieutenant Francis Rooko (1846), of the Dauntless ' screw steam-frigate, at Lisbon (the only surviving officer of the ill-fated steam-frigate Avenger), has been superseded at his own request, and Lieutenant Charles Stuart Forbes (1848), has been appointed to the va cancy.

Naval Instructor—W. E. Shaw (1842), has beon ap pointed to the Ajax, 60, screw- thip, Spithead. Al though commissioned in April, 1850, she does not appear to have borne a naval instructor previously. We presume, however, she is to make up her seagoing com plement. Lieutenant J. L. Thompson (1810) died very suddenly at Bury, Suffolk, on the 29th ult., in his 72d year. He was master of the Blonde, and lost an arm in cutting out a schooner from under the batteries at Guadeloupe. Ho was in receipt of a pension for wounds. Paymaster and Purser Walter A.

The Turkish steam-frigate the Feizi Bseri, with the flag of the admiral, saluted the flag of the naval Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth with 17 guns, which was returned by the Victory. The steamer afterwards got under weigh and proceeded down the Channel, re ceiving a parting salute from the Mirati Zatri Turkish frigate. The latter and the brig Sarag Bahri remain at Spithead, and it is supposed will sail about Friday next. The Netherlands steam•sloop Merape, commanded by Lieutenant St. Ivan Mald ,, gherro, arrived in Plymouth Sound from Elsineur on Tuesday, and saluted the gar rison with 19 guns and the port admiral with 17 guns, which compliment was duly returned. She is to take in a supply of 200 tons of coals, and is to proceed to Batavia. _ Aj tic, 60, gun-ship, Captain Quin, will be completed at Spithead by the dockyard people on the 11th inst. A sergeant and some marine artillerymen have em barked for service. Birkenhead steam-transport, Master-Commander. Sal mon, is ordered from Woolwich to.

COAST GUARD COURT OF INQIngx.—SHARP PRAC. 710 E.—On Tuesday a court of inquiry was held at the preventive station, at Torcross, near Torquay, to inves tigate a complaint pr.ferred against Lieutenant Thomas C. Ross, the commander of the station there, for disota dience of erders and neglect of duty, in not removing from Prawle station to Torcross, to w hich,station he had been appointed, until the 22d of A.pril, he having re ceived notification to remove on the 6 , h. The court con sisted of Commander William King ffsll, R.N., of Wey mouth, and Lieutenants Hoblyn acid Goodridge. Com mander Story, inspecting commander of the district, of which Torcross forms a portion, was the official prosecu tor. Lieutenant Ross objected at the outset of the in quiry, to the constitution of the coutrt, upon the ground that two of the memb'rs of the co art were under the itu mediate command of Captain Story„ the prosecutor; and that one of them was his (Lieut. Ross's) junior officer, and therefore inc4paci , ated, ace , rdin4 - , to tee instructions, which required that the procreciing?u of tnese courts of inquiry should be a,similated, as clued , IY as possible, to the proceedings of court-martial. Els formal protest, which embodied these objections, w a s received and d entered in the minutes, and the investAgation proceeded.d The fact alleged in the charge woe v.,ry ho. ly pry but Lieui, ss ne regulations cf the coast• guard service—the 16th article stating, " When officers or men are ordered to remove, they are not to be required to proceed (unless otherwise assault before him, and for that he fined defendant 30a., and in default committed him to prison for 10 days. THAMES, BOATSWAIN SMITH AGAIN. --George Smith, 70 years of age, and residing at 23, Wellclose-square, White chapel, well known as a self-appointed chaplain to sailors, and much frequenting Ratcliffe -highway and other places where sailors mostly congregate, was charged with creating an obstruction and calling a crowd in Dock street. On appearing to his bail be was accompanied by five little children (one of them a black's), wearing a sort of uniform, and having inscribed on their cape, " Sailors' Orphan Impregnable." He himself wore on a blue coat a good many decorations, and a medal. Liaeham, 216 H, found him preaching on the previous night, and perceiving that the way was blocked up by a great crowd, ordered him several times to desist, but he still persisted, and had to be taken into custody. Prisoner—l have preached for forty years in different parts of London. Here are sailors' orphans whom I hope to edify. I served with Nelson, and obeyed him 50 years ago, and must I now be prevented from obeying Christ? specified in the letters of removal) until they shall have received their pay, after the expiration of the current month." In this case the current month expired on the sth of April, and be did not receive his pay until the 29th. He put in the order of removal, which was in the t usual form, to proceed at "hi s ear li es t c onvenience," and he proved—and in fact it was at once admitted by the prosecutor—that the cottage provided b 3. the Go vernment, for the residence of the officer at Toreros , , was, and bad been for some time, wholly unfit for occupation. He bad several times been at Torcross to endeavour to get the station put in re pair, and failing in that, had taken lodgings ; these lodgings required alterations and repairs --- several persons were set to work, working even on Good Friday to forward the job, and before the rep airs were quite finished he bad come with his wife to Toreros , . He had been in the navy 27 years, had comma nded two brigs on the coast of Africa, and had taken fiv e slavers, and concluded by expressing a well-grounded it.elief that the Court would say he had neither been gu'ilty of ne glect of duty, nor disobedience of orders. ' The Court was then cleared for deliberation. The evider ce and the finding will be transmitted to the Board of C nstoms for their approval, and will not be made public aintil they have come to a decision.—Exeter Paper.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LEEDS, JUNE 3.—Our arrivals were good, and there was great/firmness in wheat, but the depression in the flour trade prevented millers buying freely; last week's rates were paid on the business done.

It has swallowed up everything else during the season. Theatres, panoramas, exhibitions, Parliament in cluded, have all disappeared down its capacious throat.
