IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 9. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. HOME MADE SPIRITS IN BOND BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill, several petitions were presented in its favour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pre sented a petition from the spirit dealers of London against the Bill. Lard NAAS then moved the second reading. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER op posed the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion. To carry this Bill would be an act of gross injustice to a large branch of trade. There was a wide difference between the mode of levying the Excise and the Customs duties: the one was levied in the first in stance, while the other was not collected until the latest possible moment prior to the period of consump tion. Unless Government pursued that course a con siderable addition of labour, and of course of expense, would be thrown upon the Excise Department, owing to the extended supervision that would be necessary to protest the revenue. This Bill was introduced on the plea that colonial spirits, by the present system, en joyed an undue advantage over home - made spirits ; but so far from that being the case, the fact was that during the list tour years, while the consumption of home made spirits had greatly increased, that of colonial spirits bad very seriou.ly fallen off.— (Hear.) Well, then, the ground of injustice being swept away, what other argument could be urged in favour of this Bail? None whatever; but on the con• trary, innumeraole objections besides that of diminishing the revenue could be urged against it. It this Bill were carried, it would be inflicting a great practical it justice on the English distiller, in so far as by the existing law the mode of levying the duties in Ireland was very different to the mode of collecting it in England, and if the law were changed in the manner proposed by this Bill, the Irish distiller would possess an undue advan tage over his competitor in Miss country. On all consi deratiens, therefore, it was his duty to oppose the second reading and he hoped the House would concur with him in desiring to throw the Bill out. Lord NAAS denied that the home-made spirit trade was on the increase. The injustice which he complained of was that the foreign and colonial producers could ex post without paying duty, bat the h ome - made s pirit dealer could nor, and virtually the present r es t r i c tions upon his trade altogether prohibited him from enga ging in the export trade. He disputed the position of the Chancellor, that if the law were changed on this Bill it would lead to great loss in the revenue. On the contrary, he firmly believed that it would increase the returns from the spirit duties, but admitting that it would diminish the revenue the home-made spirit dealers w e r e q uite read y to submit to a esiight addi4onal increase iu the duty they paid for the sake of obtaining this advantage of bonding their goods.—(hear, hear.) He agreed with the Govirnment, t h at the duties imposed on spirits o ug h t to be the last the House should think of touching in any scheme for reducing the taxa tion of the country, but it was not for the sake of ob taining any remission of duty that the home-made spirit dealers promoted this Bill. It was because the present law interfered with their trade upon an unfair principle, and he could only account for the opposition of the Engtish distillers to an unnecessary alarm that their ex portations were likely to be diminished by th e Bill, or to a desire to play the part of the dog in the mange r. They did not want the change themselves, t h ou gh it would do them no harm, and th ey were deter mined that nobody else should obtain it. Mr. BR AMSTON opposed the Bill, and moved that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. BASS wanted to know where the supporters of this Bill could hope to find an export trade for British spirits ? It wag impossible for the home-made spirit dealer to compete with the foreigner abroad, and really he for one was quite at a loss to understand why they should he so anxious for the passing of the Bill. The fact, however, was, that they did not want to compete with the foreign or colonial producer, but to secure an unjust advantage over the English distiller, and he hoped the House would not sanction such a modest proposal. The whole body of English distillers were not enacting the character attributed to them by the Noble Lord who had moved the second reading, but they regarded this Bill as a direct attack upon themselves, and they were therefore justified in resisting it. Mr. REYNOLDS should be willing to take the Hon. Member's opinion if this Bill related to ale instead of spirits, but he could not help feeling that the Honourable Gentleman had been poaching upon another maw's manor, and what he said should be receiv. d with great caution. Now he would take the liberty of mentioning one fact, which should induce the House, and particularly the Hon. Member to whom he had just referred, to pars this Bill. In Scotland there were 156 distilleries, in Ireland 56, but in England there were only 11, and the wishes of the latter were to be consulted in preference to those of the former. These who opposed this Bill were anxious to continue the monopoly of the English distillers. The question for the House to decide, divested of statistics and technicalities, was nothing more nor less than this— shall the Irish and Scotch discill,ra be placed on the same footing as the English distillers? He thought they ought, and, therefore, he should continue to complain until full justice was done. Mn. GOULBURN could not consider the question before the House one of minor or small importance, be cause if the Bill were agreed to it would give an ad vantage to one class of distillers over another, and lead to great dissatisfaction. It was no light matter to effect partial changes in a duty which yielded between eight and nine millions of revenue, and was readily and willingly paid into the Exchequer. Besides there was no other tax levied that was so little objectionable in principle as the one placed upon spirits. The Hon. Member had said that the present law cramped the enterprise of Scotch and Irish distillers, and prevented their spirits being consumed in England, but the fast was, that ona-third of the whole consump tion in the latter country was furnished from the stills of Ireland and Scotland. His conviction was, that the mea sure would be dangerous not only to the revenue and the interests of the general body of spirit dealers, but not promote the interests of the distillers in whose favour it was said to be proposed. Mr. J. A. SMITH considered that it was impossible to justify the inequalities which now existed in the duties os spirits in this country. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading ... ... 166 Against it ... ... 194 Majority against the —2B ARREST OF ABSCONDING DEBTORS. The Arrest of Absconding Debtors' Bill was read a second time. LAW OF EVIDENCE. The Law of Evidence Amendment Bill was also read a second time. IRISEI ECCLESIASTICAL RESIDENCES. The Ecclesiastical Residences (Ireland) Bill wen through Committee. CHURCHES AND CHAPELS (IRELAND) BILL. The Churches and Chapels (Irelan) Bill also went through Committee. UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND BILL. This Bill also went through Committee. PHARMACY BILL. Thin Rill went, pro forma, through Committee. Ttle Turnpike Acta Continuance Bill was read a te cowl time, VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL. the Ontbemotion that the Speaker do leave the chair, on House going into Committee on the Valuation (Ireland) Bin, Mr. SOULLY stated that, as ho understood, the prin ciple of the Bill was to value Lands and tenements in a scale founded Ireland on upon the prices of agricultural produce in that country, and to take the value for the next fourteen years, aca, rding to those price s as fi xe d in a scale by t h e Act.' ' He had no objection that the price of agricultural producehatf should be an ingredient in the ~tuatien of land; it were to be so, he question must be aakt d of the Governmentlr whether the scale could be called correct or eo with the prices at present existing in Irela r n e d s f rom thirty six towns, having P" ll d e in ti g ad moved for returns reference to the prices of a gricultural produce; b ut tbese were so mystified that he thought the recognised organ of th e G overnmen t i n Ireland had ju stl y remarked t h at no dependence could be placed on the figures, and any scale - derived from them must be totally worthless as a criterion of agricultural to h prices in Ireland. He suggested Right Hon. of expediency Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland of introducing into Ireland a mode produce, r ascertaining the scertaining the average prices of agricultural as exist e d in England, where these average tit az prices I were used to ascertain the value for other purposes . With resp'tct to th e ' parti cular provisions of the Bill, ho called attention to the circumstance, that while the Lord - Lieutenant had power to appoint * sub-commissioners, and the chief commis sioner t o . to a mere appoint valuators,the ratepayers had no right to name a arbitrary-cBoZe individual. He objected the Bill proposed, and thought it n t „ of appeal, such as 51., which bw a t t a reus that those small holdings b e l ow should be thert o been exempt from county-cess, of the Bill was brought under taxation. The entire machinery forms and ver ytechnical handed that the mea l' s complicated; there were numerous oints to be observed, and he appro. country. As matters stood luation Bills for Ireland, and would be distasteful to the they had had enough of va luation of the presentithe thought the complicated worse than otherwise. He Bill w ould rather make matters luation in each county, w i t h a ou g i f i s t a commission of va barony to barony, would lead t s o u—cien correct valuation in t staff, to go from Ireland, and he hoped the ad o p t i a o Bill of last would not be overlooked by G over n mof nom© such scheme important, both as regarded the Registrationn -en" estCablished in Ireland, of ished in It w as mos t session and the Encumbered Estates that a correct valuation should be country; but Ire objected to the mode that 4.id down in the present Bill. It would depend it the view of the measure taken by the Iriseli; l a c d Upo n whether he would move in the present stage that htrebasl be postponed; and, therefore, is the meantime tented himself with expressing his individual opp b e si 7i o n ; to the measure. Sir D. NORREYS hoped the Bill would not be pressed by the Government. The valuation in Ireland bad been going on for 21 years, and had cost no less than 270,000/, paid out of the county-rates, in addition to the sltiary of the Commissioner, which was paid out of the Consolidated Find ; yet, six counties still re mained uuvalued.—(Hear.) Notwithstanding all t hi s, the Government was obliged to bring in a Bill to com mence the valuation on a new poinciple ; but he eon tended that in the present unsettled state of property in Ireland such a step was a most unwise one. The gross emstwi,njustice wou ld b e d one by this Bill, especially to .1. property in Ireland. Previous to 1348 the valua -61,-.0 uf I.b t l ~. 2 1110 wee of ho 2 2 5 pot cent. under its real value , and in Wit pr oputy about 33 per cent. yap otruck THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY off the value of each house, so that the valuation of the two kinds of property was considered to be very fairly poised. With regard to the townland valuation, which was taken five years ago at 25 per cent. under the real value, perhaps that was now the actual value, and there was no reason to suppose that five years hence it m ght not be 25 per cent. under the real value again. With reference to towns, however, they were by the Bill to be subjected to taxation according to their full value, and the 33 per cent. was not to be struck off. He protested against that proceeding, and indeed against the whole principle of the Bill. The only thing ho could say in favour of the townland valuation was, that it was unin telligible—so unintelligible, indeed, that it could not be appealed against. An HON. MEMBER here moved that the House be counted. More than 40 Members being present, Sir D. NORREYS resumed. He contended that thi present was a most improper time to commence a valua Lion in Ireland, and entreated the House not to go on with the Bill, or at least only to adopt that portion that applied to the townland valuation; and, with regard to tenements, to be satisfied, in the meantime, with the poor-law valuation. Sir J. YOUNG considered the opinion of the Hon. Baronet to be of great weight on this question. He hoped, however, the House would not li st en to his re commendation, but allow the Bill t o go i n t o Committee, where all the objections of the lion. Baronet could be best discussed.—(Hear, hear.) What the Hon. Member for Tipperary had mentioned with reference to the scale of agricultural pri ces wou ld a l so b e discussed with great propriety in C , mrniitee, Mr. S. CRAWFORD considered the present law of valuation in Ireland to be in a most anomalous state; yet he did not think that the Bill of the Government met the evil. On th e contrar y, he thought it decidedly wrong in the principle. They ought to postpone every measure of this kind till they had discovered a mode of ascer taining correctly what the averages were.—(Hear.) Mr. E. B. ROCHE said, they very much wanted a fair system of valuation in Ireland, but it was one of those very desirable things that seemed to be next to impos sible. The present was the most inopportune period t h at c ould be thought o f for commencing a valuation in Ireland; and he would rather go on a year or two as the y were than make things worse, as he was afraid they , would do, by this Bill. Let them wait till the affairs of the country in some measure subsided, and then make a fair valuation for Ireland, though he was afraid that, even then, it would be found very difficult.—(Hear.) The House then went into Committee, and the Bill was passed pro forma, to be committed again on a future day. BOUVERIE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and to continue for a time to be limited the Copyhold and Enclosure Commissions. The House then adjourned, at Half•past Five o'clock, till to•morrow (this day) at Twelve o'clock. HULLABALOO ORATORY. At a high Protestant meeting lately held at the Rotunda in Dublin, the Rev. Ilugh Prior, in sup porting a resolution, said "Ile had no speech prepared; but if he wanted a speech, there was his speech—holding up an orange lily. (Loud cheers.) He was not ashamed of that tiny flower—he was not ashamed of the principles it bespoke, and he hoped he never should, so help him God."—(Loud cheers.) And Father Malone, at a meeting in the Roman Catholic cathedral of Ballina, where the Roman Catholic Bishop, Dr. Freeny, was present, is thus re ported, in the Tablet, to have spoken:—"Let the Minis ter carry his iniquitous measure into law, and let there be a community of religious ladies in this town to morrow, and let him appoint the day of visitation for his official, I, too, would be there on that occasion, and I would expect that, it necessary, there would be there also, five hundred of the good, and virtuous, and the brave young men of this parish.—(Loud cheering.) I would take my stand upon the very threshold of the door, and defy the Russell beadle to enter.—(lmmense cheering.) I would put him to the necessity of bringing one hundred of her Majesty's forces to effect his entrance ; and should he demand access to the innocent victims of his wanton barbarity, I solemnly say, before this august assembly, I would stand between him and them, and only give him access by the sword or the bullet.—(lmmense sensation.) Depend upon it they are not now the clays of Smith O'Brien and the Ballingarry affair; neither is the occasion now such as it was then." When the reverend and loyal orator terminated his harangue, the aforenamed "Di. Feenv stated that, for the benefit of persons un acquainted with the use of tropes and figures, he had to say that when Mr. Malone made reference to the sword and spear, he did so not in a literal but a spiritual sense." PATe:NT LAW AMENDMENT ASSOCIATION. On Tuesday a public meeting of the members of this association was held at the Belle Sauvage, Ludgate-hill, to consider the New Patent Law Amendment Bill now progressing through Parliament, and to take steps to secure the abandonment of certain clauses, which it was stated threatened to render the operation of the law highly injurious both to inventors and the public, and to hasten the enact ment of a real Patent Reform Bill. Mr. Alderman Sid ney, M.P., occupied the chair, and observed that though he was very little acquainted with the nature of the pa tent laws, he felt the greatest pleasure in presiding on this occasion, as he should be enabled to glean much in formation, which would be of use to him in his place in the House of Commons. Lie could not but regard the pre sent patent laws as being in a most anomalous condition, and calculated to produce great evil, not only to inven tors, but to the public generally. The present system had the effect of " tying up" the talent and genius of the country, and it was next to impossible for an inventor to obtain a remuneration for his labour. Instead of making patents expensive, Government ought to give every possible protection to inventors, exacting only such a sum as would defray the incidental costs. He would ask why the cost should be so enormous in this country, considering that the cost of a patent in Belgium, France, Denmark, and America, did not amount to more than 101.? He contended that the patent laws were altogether de fective, and he did not know any subject which required more attentive consideration on the part of the Govern ment. Mr. Shepherd proposed the first resolution, to the effect that, it having been already acknowledged by Government and the public that the patent laws required amendment, the meeting was of opinion that the Bill now before Parliament should effect an efficient amendment forthwith, and that if this be not done, inventors who had previously registered and exhibited new inventions at the Great Exhi bition, under an implied promise from the Government, that the attainment of letters of patent would be ren dered less costly, would be subjected to the injustice of having been induced to publish their inventions without reasonable means of protection from the Legislature. The motion was seconded by Mr. Keene, and supported by Mr. Rogers, and after some discussion, was carried. A resolution was then passed, that it was contrary to the interests of the inventors and the public that the new patent law, which proposed that a patent should be granted in consideration of a series of payments, should require from the inventor more than a few shillings in the first instance, so as to cover the expense of recording his de mand, and that if the protection of patent rights in courts of law be nut rendered more certain, the law would still remain in a very defective state. It was next resolved that the foregoing resolutions be embodied in a petition, and pesented to the House of Commons, and the meeting separated. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

On two suc cessive evenings this week collisions have taken place be tween the two forces—in more than one instance, of a moat desperate kind. Policeman 174 was attacked the other evening moat brutally by a soldier of the 28th, and when assistance arrived a general melee between the soldiers and police took place. By great forbearance and good conduct, the police succeeded in preventing any dangerous results from this amount of violence until a picquet from the barracks had been procured, to whose custody the delinquent soldiers were consigned, and no doubt they will be severely dealt with by the military authorities. We understand that a court-martial on some of the officers of the 91st Re gimenit will be held, on the charge of being absent from duty when the late conflicts were waging between the men of that regiment and the officers of the Liverpool consta bulary.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 9. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.) GRIMINAL INFORMATION.—THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSE• CUTION OF THE REV. W. H. CLARKSON) v. KAYE, PRO PRIETOR AND PUBLISHER OF THE " WESLEYAN TIMES." This case, which has already been before the public. came on for trial to-day, as the result of a rule granted to the Rev. W. H. Clarkson, a Wesleyan minister, to file a criminal information against the defendant, pro prieto! and publisher of the Wesleyan Times newspaper, in which a series of articles were published, refleetieg on the moral character of the prosecutor. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Atherton, and Mr. J. A. Russell appeared as counsel for the prosecution; the Attorney- General, Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hance, conducted the defence. Sir F. THESIGER, in stating the case for the prosecu tion, read the various articles reflecting upon the cha racter of the prosecutor. The first of those articles ap peared in the number of September 16, commenting on proceedings before the magistrates at Leamington, in which a case of affiliation was preferred against the prosecutor by a young woman named Charlotte Hirons, who had been in his service, and who said he had taken liberties with her. She made information that the Rev. Gentleman was father of an illegitimate male child, to which she had given birth on the 12th of Sep tember. The case was heard by the magistrate for the G unty of Warwick, on the 27th of November, and after the complainant, Mrs. Abbey, the mother of Mr. Clarkson's wife, and a young man, who alleged that he was the fa her of the child, had been examined, the magistrates dismissed the case, without calling on Mr. Wil'more, who appeared as counsel for the defendant, to enter into the defence. The Wesleyan Times, on the 2d of December, published a report of the proceedings before 'he magistrate, and, in the same number, an ar ' title commenting on those proceedings, and on the whole case, and expressing an opinion that, " as the matter then stood, neither party had any cause for satisfaction, the defendant no more than the complainant," and that " judgment of th e mag i strates was ne i ther a condemna tion nor au acquittal." " The case," the commentary ' went on to remark, " was not decided; it was dismissed." " As to Mr. Clarkson himself," the writer went on to say, " we sincerely regret that the judgment pronounced is one which he cannot point to as a positive vindication of his character from so foul a stigma, and we earnestly wish that we could pronounce him a clear and acquitted man." On the 16th of December, another article appeared in the Wesleyan Times, headed " An Unau thenticated Tale," which commented upon complaints made, that a man who had paid ss, in the pound to his creditors, should be allowed to remain and to exercise the functions of a Wesleyan minister, and proceeded in these terms—" Is not every Methodist in the United Kingdom able to name one man who is, at this present time, doing every duty that falls to a travelling preacher, with the strongest accusation that a woman can bring against a man hanging over him?" The number of the 23d of December contained an article headed " The Rev. E. Everett and Ourselves," in which a comparison had been drawn between a Mr. Everett, against whom a charge had been made, and the Rev. Mr. Clarkson, setting forth that while " the Reverend Mr. Everett was suspected, the Rev. Mr. Clarkson was ac cused; Mr. Everett called for an accuser, but none ap peared; for a charge, but none was presented; for proof, but none was forthcoming;" and then went on to de scribe Mr. Clarkson's conduct, "so far," the writer ob serves, "as we know, as the reverse of this. Ho called for neither accuser, charge, nor proof; and why ? Was it that he knew all three were at hand?" The libels, in succeeding numbers of the paper, went on to say that they were "glad to see that the trustees of the chapels in the Leeds second circuit" (that in which the Rev. Mr. Clarkson was located), " had appointed a committee to examine into the case of Clarkson v. Hirons; that they were far from satisfied with Mr. Clarkson's expla nation, and were determined that the case should be thoroughly investigated." This was the last article, the Learned Counsel continued, complained of in those un doubtedly scandalous and malicious libels, the accusa tions in which Mr. Clarkson most distinctly denied upon oath; and the defendant might, if he pleased, under Lord Campbell's Act, plead the truth of the accusations he had published, and that he had published them so for the public good, but he had not done so, and therefore he had gone far beyond that limit which the law allowed to a public journalist; and having pleaded only " the general issue," the truth of the matter in the libels could not come in question, and they must confine themselves to the proof of the publication of the articles complained of, and determine whether they were libellous or not. The ordinary proof was then put in, showing the de fendant to have been the registered proprietor and pub lisher of the Wesleyan Times, at the time that the libels complained of appeared. The papers containing those libels were also put in, and the libels read. The Rev. W. H. Clarkson was then examined, and deposed that he was a preacher in the Wesleyan Con nexion, and had been so for upwards of thirty years. He had been stationed on the Derby circuit in 1847, and in 1850 he removed to the Leeds circuit. Charlotte Hirens was then in his service, and had been for about three years and a half, and he was a married man and had been living with his wife during the whole of that time. Witness, on cross-examination, said he had been ap pointed to the Leeds circuit about the middle of Sep tember, and was a member of the Conference. It was one of the rules of the Wesleyan Connexion that if a charge of immorality was made against ministers of that connexion, those charges must be investigated with a view of determining whether the minister against whom they were made was fit to be continued in his office. The conference was the proper and authorised tribunal for such investigation. According to a law passed in 1795, an inquiry might be made before the district body; but the final settlement of the matter was with the conference. There was no dispute about the fact, although some parties might wish for an alteration. One hundred preachers constituted the legal conference; but all minis! era permitted to attend by the districts might attend the general conference. The examination of a charge of immorality would go to the general con ference, the number to go to which was regulated by the district. The trustees of chapels had a right to call a meeting of the district, and other trustees and minis ters had a right to inquire into the conduct of an accused minister, and to suspend him until the meeting of the conference, and they might have adopted that course with regard to him. Witness, in re-examination, said the conference did not originate any charge; but some one should prefer it, and bring it before them. This closed the case for the prosecution. The ATTORNEY-GINEItAL addressed the jury for the defence, and submitted that it had been correctly stated by his Learned Friend, Sir F. Thesiger, that the defend ant had not placed on the record any allegation that the matters were true; and he might add, that he had not done so from the beginning to the end of the proceed ings. He had never stated that the charges complained of by the prosecutor were true, but merely that the in. terests of the " Wesleyan connexion" required that such grave charges should be fully investigated and disposed of by the proper authorities, and that it was not right that the investigation before the magistrate at Leaming ton should be considered as conclusive, because the case had been dismissed by those functionaries, merely because certain exigencies of the Act of Parlia ment had not been complied with. The defendant had a right to assume as the basis of his observations those statements which had been made in a court of public justice, if the subject-mat ter were within the scope of legitimate discussion for a public journalist, and they were made without malice. The prosecutor was occupying a public position as the minister of a large community, and it was a law amongst that community that a charge of im morality against one of their ministers, calculated to bring scandal on the body, should be investigated by parties competent to come to a conclusion upon it. In that sense the defendant, as a journalist, had taken up the matter, and he had a right to publish comments upon matters in which the community took an interest, and there was no matter in which they could have a deeper interest than that the ministers of their religion should be free from all stain and reproach. The journalist had not averred that the statements of Charlotte Hirons were true; but he had certainly commented on the efforts that had been made by the friends of Mr. Clarkson, to induce her to sign a paper contradicting her previous statements. It was not part of the defendant's business, as s journalist, to say that the girl's accusations were true; but she had openly made an accusation against her master, that certain things had taken place before she left his service, which he considered ought to have been investigated; and it was for the jury to say whether the defendant had written the articles complained of with a malicious purpose; but, looking at the feelings by which he had been actuated in writing those articles, they would, he hoped, come to a different conclusion. Lord CAMPBELL summed up; and observed that it would be for the jury to say whether the articles in the Wesleyan Times were fair commentaries or not upon the accusation against the Rev. Mr. Clarkson, and intended for the service of the Wesleyan community, and the promotion of religion and morality. The Con ference, his Lordship continued, appeared satisfied of the innocence of the Rev. Mr. Clarkson, and bad allowed him to remain in the exercise of his sacred office. The journalist certainly was properly allowed a great limit for commentary on public matters; but they must take care that the limit of the law should not be abused for the purpose of gratifying private malice. lie did not, in making those remarks, say that the defendant had sought to gratify any feeling of malice in the matter; but the whole case was before the jury, and it was for them to say whether the defendant was guilty or not of baying unfairly made himself a partisan in imputing the offence charged against the prosecutor. The jury retired; and after a short absence returned a verdict of Guilty against the defendant, coupled with a recommendation in his favour to the mercy of the Court, on account of the strong party feeling existing. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) Thomas Snee, 32, a post•office letter-carrier, pleaded guilty to,.a charge of stealing a letter containing money, the property of the Postmaster-General. Martha Rodgers, 22. was indicted for stealing a letter containing a Bank of England note for 10/., the property of the Postmaster-General. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin were for the prosecu tion; Mr. O'Brien was for the defence. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence that was a dduced in support of it, that on th© 4th of June a lady named Rice, being desirous t o t ransm i t a sum o f 101. to her daughter at Alderney, enclosed a note for that amount in a letter, which she posted and registered at a post re ceiving -house at Notting-hill, kept by a lady named thidgilMd• The primmer Ras 112 the porrio9 91 Underwood, and she was present when the letter was re ceived and the certificate of its registration given to Mrs. Rice. When the letter arrived at its destination in due course, it was found that the note had been abstracted, and a communication of the fact was immediately made to the Post-office authorities. Inquiries were then made, and it turned out that on the sth of Juue the prisoner had gone to the shop of a Mr, Griffiths, a haberdasher at Nutting-hill, where she purchased it variety of articles of dress, which she paid for with the identical note that had been stolen from the letter, and received six or seven pounds in change. When the prisoner was afterwards questioned upon the subject she at once admitted that she had purchased the goods from Mr. Griffiths, and that she had paid fur them with a 101. note, but she positively asserted that the note had been in her possession since the preceding month of February. This, however, was manifestly a falsehood, as it appeared that the note was dated in April of the present year, and, of course, had not bee❑ issued from the Bank at the period the prisoner represented it to have been in her possession. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Seutence was deferred in both the Yost-office cases. Thomas Brewer Hatton was brought up for judgment just before the rising of the Court, and sentenced to be kept to hard labour for 18 months. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER,) Lewis John Jones, 21, clerk, wits iuttieted for embezzling the sums of 244 14s. 6d., 111. 25., 61., 41 45., and other sums of money, belonging to his master, John Walter Huddleston. The prisoner seemed deeply affected at the degraded position in which he had placed himself, and kept his face averted from the gaze of the Court during the whole time he was in the dock. He pleaded guilty. It will be recollected that the prisoner had been clerk to Mr. Huddleston, the barrister, and the sums embezzled had been the tees paid to him and the moneys intrusted to him by his master. Mr. PARRY, who appeared for the prisoner, in alluding to the nature of the offence, said that the case was a pe culiarly distressing one, as the prisoner had up to this time borne a high character and been most attentive to his duties, and he was glad to be able to inform the Court that the prisoner's defalcation would not be found so heavy as it was at - first expected. The reason of his present degradation was his having been drawn into bad company, and becoming addicted to betting and the com pany of loose women; and under these circumstances he hoped the Court would act as leniently as consistently with its duty it could. With regard to the course pur sued by his I., ,, arned Friend towards the prisoner he could not too warmly eulogise it. He had taken him to be his clerk when a boy, and had all along acted as a father to him, and treated him in every way as though he had been bis son. The RECORDER asked, over how long a period the em. bezzlement extended? Mr. PARRY said, from January, 1850; but his Learned Friend's confidence and kindness towards the prisoner had been the reaso❑ of his not having found out his de falcations at an earlier period. Mr. BALLANTINE said he appeared on behalf of his Learned Friend Mr. Huddleston. The duty imposed upon them to appear against a young man with whom they had been so long associated was most painful, as up to this time he had stood high in the opinion of all who knew him. He (the Learned Counsel) had known him from a mere boy, and could affirm that he had been most assiduous in his duties, and believed that his being drawn into bad company was the cause of this. Gen tlemen i❑ their profession were of necessity obliged to place great trust in their clerks, and largo sums of money came into their hands; in Not, the highest trust was reposed in them, and seldom or ever, he was happy to say, was it misplaced; and as a class he had the highest opinion of their integrity and attention to the interests of their employers. The amount, as Mr. Parry had stated, would be much less than at first expected— not, be believed, above 801. or 1001. instead of 1701. Mr. PARRY said, the prisoner had told him that he expected that his fees on the Oxford circuit, which he was about going with his master, would have enabled him to relieve himself ; but he (Mr. Parry) thought he was too much enthralled ever to have relieved himself. The RECORDER said he should postpone passingsen. Once. THIRD COURT. (Before the CtMMON SERGEANT.) Thomas Erskine Souper, 43, clerk, was indicted for emb-zzling the sums of 301., 58/. 10i., and 371,, the moneys of William Blandford, his master. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Bodkin was for the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN, on behalf of the prisoner, said, that, although the sums laid in the indictment were not very heavy, he could not but inform the Court that the priso ner's defalcations amounted to upwards of 3,000 L, and this was one of the very melancholy cases where a man holding a highly confidential and important situation had been induced to speculate in the purchase of railway shares with the moneys of his employers. The prisoner, excepting this transaction, bad borne an irreproachable character, and had for some years held the situation of clerk to the Thames Plato Glass Company, the moneys of which company he had been making use of. The greatest confidence was reposed in him, and the com pany were not aware that the prisoner was a defaulter until he could no longer bear the situation in which he was placed, and gave himself into custody, making the fullest statement of the affairs of the company to the directors, of which they wero totally ignorant. After he had first given him self up the directors of the company permitted him to remain at large, but ultimately preferred the charge against him. The prisoner had given up the policies of his life insurance to the company, who would also re ceive 5001. from the Guarantee Society. The prisoner's defalcations may be said to have originated from the fact that when ho first obtained the situation he had a loan of 1,5001. granted him by one of the directors, to repay which nearly the whole of his salary had been stopped, and to make up which he had been speculating, and became enthralled in the manner he hid, and be hoped, under these circumstances, the Court would not consider this a case where it was bound to pass the fullest sentence the law allowed for such offences. Mr. CLARKSON said the company had no wish to press with vindictiveness against the prisoner, and with regard to the mode in which he had become enthralled a❑d had stated the affair to the company, it was correct; but it was not correct about the money that had been lent— that was a private loan from oue director, with which the company had nothing to do; and the policies spoken of had been left by the prisoner in his iron safe when ho left the company. Mr. BonAIN then called several witnesses, who gave the prisoner a most unexceptionable character, several of the gentlemen so called being shareholders of the company. The CO2IIBION-SERGEANT said ho should take time to consider the sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-S7'REET. William Bailey, a middle-aged man of dissipated ap pearance, was brought up before Mr. Arnold, charged with the following series of brutal outrages upon Louisa Bailey, his wife:— The complainant, a respectable-looking woman, whose bosom was enveloped in surgical bandages, stated, that she had been married for several years to the prisoner, by whom she had fuur children, but that she had been subjected for a long time past to the most cruel treatment by him i❑ consequence of his drunken propensities, which induced him to squander every shilling he could obtain among the most degrading associates, and the slightest remonstrance or opposition on her part to th© gratification of his depraved tastes inevitably brought upon her the severest illusage. Half his time was spent in the company of a large and ferocious sort of mastiff he had recently purchased, which he led about by a chain, to the terror of the neighbours, and upon his being thwarted in obtaining some money from the servant that morning to purchase drink with, he set the dog upon her (the mistress), and the brute fixed his teeth in her thigh and bit her severely. The prisoner then left the house, swearing vengeance upon her and the family when he came back; and about twelve o'clock he did re turn, accompanied by a broker and an assistant, to whom he wanted to pawn or sell all the furniture. She tried to persuade him out of such a cruel resolution, and the broker did not appear inclined to purchase, but the pri soner insisted that he should, rushed up stairs, and re turned with two pillows off her bed to commence the sale. She clung to the pillows and would not let them go, upon which a struggle ensued between them; and the pri soner, on finding that he could not effect the sale of them, ran into the yard, unchained the dog, and hounded him upon her; the dog immediately sprang at her neck and seized her by the left breast, in which and her clothes he fixed his teeth so firmly that in extricating herself from his bite a large piece was torn out of her dress. Upon escaping from the animal she hastened to the shop of a neighbouring surgeon, where her wounds were dressed, but she was still sufferi ng acute p a in from the injuries she had sustained, and she was in much ap prehension that her breast was festering. (The com plainant handed in a certificate from Mr. Miller, a sur geon at Stoke Newington, describing the nature of the injuries, and from that it appeared that, i n a ddition to the wounds produced by the animal's teeth, serious contusion upon th e b osom, apparently she had also a the result of a heavy blow.) John Tolladay, th e b ro k er , Thomas Chapman, his assistant, and N Dowton, srah the complainant's st-rvant, corroborated the proaecutrix's testimony, and the latter witness added, th a t u p on her refusing to lend him money to purchase liq uor w i t h, the prisoner expressed hi s de termination to sell the g oods, and said he and his dog would drink up the value of whatever th ey fetched be tween them. The dug was produced in court by b a y e dthprful the police, se cure d powerful brute it by a chain, and was such was surprising the woman had escaped with the injuries she had. When called upon for his defence the prisoner, in a sullen tone, denied that he bad set the dog upon his wife, declaring that it had voluntarily sprung upon her in consequence of seeing the struggle between them about se t h e goods; bat it having been proved that he had wil fully incited the auimal to attack the woman, and held t he chain in his hand while it did so, Mr. ARNOLD, after characterizing it as one of the most savage and brutal transactions that had ever come under his notice, and expressing his regret that he could not morn severely punish him, sentenced the prisoner to pay the full penalty of al., or in default to stand committed to the House of Correction for two months, and further more ordered him, at the expiration of that period, to put in substantial bail fbr his good behaviour for the fur ther term of 12 mouths. The prisoner was not prepared with the money, and was therefore transferred to the House of Correction in the van. WESTMINSTER. 09 riC JamJamea i as muibus driver, Rye oborge4 with running over an old gentleman, whereby his life is placed, in imminent danger. It appeared from the evidence adduced that on Satur day evening the defendant's (a Pimlico) omnibus entered the Broad Sanctuary from Totbill-street, when observ ing a Westminster omnibus passing the law courts from Abingdon street, he whipped his horses and increased his pace, as it seemed, to turn the corner near Parlia ment-street at the same time as the other driver; sod after passing King-street struck an old gentlemen , named Robert Jakeman, who was crossing the road, and the pole having knocked him down two of the wheels passed over his throat and jaw. He was immediately conveyed to the Westminst-r Hospital, and the de fendant, after rendering what assistance he could at the moment, pursued his journey; but subsequently finding, in consequence of the serious condition of the unfortunate sufferer, that the police had inquired for him, immediately surrendered himself. In the course of cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, who attended on behalf of the defendant, the witnesses, who all stated that he had lessened his pace at the time of he accident, differed in their account of the speed at which he was driving at that moment; it, however, ar peered to be very moderate, as the constable, whose evl• _ dente was stronger than that of the other witnesses, would not take upon himself to swear that he was ex' needing the rate of six miles an hour. It was further elicited by !dr. Lewis that the unfortunate sufferer WO 84 years of age and extremely feeble. In reply to the charge Mr. Lewis submitted that there was no culpable negligence on the part of his client, who was driving so steadily at the time that a gentle' man had given him his address and expressed his will' ingness to come forward to prove that he was not to blame. He thought those shoiild be censured who pet witted an old gentleman who was so feeble to go 00 alone; it was purely an accident, arising out of his in' firm condition. Mr. Moxam, an inspector of the B division, produced a certificate, stating that the unfortunate man was in considerable danger, and that it was questionable whe' tber he would survive the day. Mr. BURRELL observed that the road was 'very wide at the spot where the accident had occurred, and say person crossing could be plainly seen by an attentive driver. The evidence went clearly to show that he bad whipped his horses, and it would appear that another object was attracting his notice at the time. It did not follow that because a man was advanced in feeble he was t o b e run over; an d as i t was imposs ible to say what might b e th e resu l t o f t h e i n j ur i es, he mus t ' call upon the defend a nt t o fi n d b a il t o appear again nod Monday.—Bail wa s p u t i n . years and _ _ THAMES. George Hawkins, a well-dressed young man, well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Mr. John Thomas Taylor, a gentleman residing at the Adam and Eve, High -street. Peckham. Mr. Taylor was a passenger on board the Vesper ' steamer from Gravesend to Blackwell on Tuesday night. A s soon as the boat arrived alongside the Blackwell pier Mr. Taylor left the starboard paddlebox cabin on deck, where he had been staying with some friends. At the same time :here was rush towards the gangway, and Mr. Taylor felt himself pressed against, and when he got to the centre of the boat some one brushed upon his cost ' sleeve on the left arm, and he then felt for his watch, which had been in his waistcoat pocket two minutes before. It was gone, and his gold guard chain was hang ing down. The ring was gone, and the chain appeared to have been cut. The prisoner was the only person near to him; he was behind him, close to his shoulder. Mr. Taylor laid hold of him and said, " I don't like to accuse soy person wrongfully, but I f.el certain that you have my watch." The prisoner, in a tone of indignation , said, " I have not got it; I know nothing about it," and asked Mr. Taylor if he had not dropped it. Mr. Taylo r replied he was quite certain he had not. A well-dresse man and woman came up, who were no doubt confede rates of the prisoner. The woman began to scold gr. Taylor for suspecting an innocent person, and her cool' panion put his hand on her mouth, and stifled her voice. A. crowd began pressing against Mr. Taylor. who asked the prisoner to give up the watch, and promised to eV no more about it. The prisoner requested Mr. Taylor to step to the other side of the boat, and he did so. The prisoner stood with his back towards some coal seeks, and he was observed by a young lady named Wriggles' worth to put his hands gently behind him. The prisoner still continued to deny that he had the watch. Miss Wrigglesworth, who had closely watched him, said she was sure he had the watch, but the prisoner stoutly de: nied it and said, " Y ou are a w i c k ed woman to say so.' At the same time he cautioned Mr. Taylor of the cons°• quences of accusing an innocent person. Miss Wrig' gles worth's brother, a lad who had also kept his eyes ou the prisoner, looked behind the sack of coals where the prisoner was standing and there found the watch. The prisoner was secured and given into the custody of Mr. Preston, inspector of the Blackwell Railway police, who raid that a great many valuable watches had been lost on board the steamers, and he had picked up at various times gold rings which had been attached to them. 13° searched for the gold ring which had held Mr. Taylor's watch to the guard chain and could not find it. The prisoner cross•exarnined the witnesses at great length, accompanying his queries with offensive expres sions and frequently calling the witnesses liars, perjurers/ and bad people who were swearing his life away. He was repeatedly reprimanded by Mr. YARDLEY, who said he might ask any proper questions, and be would m4tko the witnesses answer them, but he w ould not permit him to abuse them. The prisoner asked Mr. Taylor whether he was not " duberuus" (dubious) about charging him until the police inspector instigated him P—Mr. Taylor replied - that he was determined from the first to charge the pri• soner with the robbery. The prisoner said—" Did I not go very quietly with you ?" Mr. Taylor—Yes; I made you go; I would not leave you. Police-constable Potter, 212 K, said the prisoner had been summarily convicted several times. On one Oe' casiun he was detected among the swell mob in Stepney church. Mr. YARDLEY—Oh, ho is one of that gang. I com• mitted four of them for attempting to pick pockets in the church during a charity sermon. Police -sergeant Kelly, 2 H, said the prisoner was tried, with five othrs, for a daring highway robbery,at. tended with violence. Three were found guilty, and three were acquitted. The prisoner was one of those acquitted. The prisoner —That is quite right. I know I am • bad character. Mr. Preston said tho prisoner represented himself at the station-house as a respectable man with a wife and five children. Ho has been cohabiting with a woman, and has only one child. Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner to Newgeite for trial. SEABORNE MAILS.

DEATH FROM THE BITE 01' A CAT. — Yesterday week, an aged and respectable female, of the name of Allan, residing at the West Port, died in consequence of the bite of a cat, received ten days previous. The animal, which belonged to a neighbour, had been in the habit of going into her house, and stealing milk and other articles. On Sunday* fortnight she had noticed it in the house, and was putting it out when it turned round and bit her arm Inflammation appeared next day, and continued to spread till it reached the shoulder. Vaious remedies were tried, but without suc cess, and she died on the second Wednesday after she had been bitten. The cat, we understand, was in a very diseased condition, which probably accounts for the fatal consequence that ensued.—Ghsgow Post. BIRTHS. OF A SON.
