IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 26. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) LARCEN VIARY jt.l IC tam BILL. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the third reading of this Bill. Sir G. STRICKLAND opposei the Bill. He con tended that the Juvenile Offenders' Bill had not operated in a satisfactory manner, and, therefore, that it ought not to be extended further. The Hon. Baronet (pow(' from a pamphlet of Mr. Sergeant Adams, to show that that Act had not decreased the number of juvenile offenders, and that it was one of the most mischievous mistakes of modern benevolence. lie (Sir George Strickland) de precated the principle of corporal punishment as applied to children, aad cited the case of a boy in the city of London who had been twelve times imprisoned and twelve times flogged, and who was now undergoing im prisonment for the thirteenth time. That, be sub mitted, was a convincing proof that corporal punishments tended to harden and brutalize, in stead of reforming juvenile offenders. He opposed the Bill also, on Vie ground that it tended to do away with trial by jury, the fairest part of the British con stitution. The Hon. Baronet then proceeded to quote a writer in the Staffordshire Conservative, reflez,tiog on the too great powers of officials, and the many abuses which it led to. It was with great satisfaction that he had heard the Recorder of London and the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Ri pon oppose this Bill, and he thought that their authority ought to have great weight with the House. If more duties were pressed upon the unpaid magistracy than they were able to perform it would be taking the moat direct course to bring that important body into discredit. Mr. M. MILNES was surprised to find himself support ing the Hon. Baronet in his present motion, but his motives were entirely different, and he did not at all share with him in his nuworthy suspicions of the magistracy of the country. He presumed that the object of the Hon. Baronet was to pravent these unfortunate children from assuming, as little as possible, a criminal status; but then it must be remembered that the system which the Honourable Baronet sought to introduce., connected as it was with prisons and gaols, would have but little effect in preventing those evils. Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped, as the Bill would tend to diminish the evils which arose from the contarnina- Con of young persons by old offenders, that the House would disregard the arguments of the two Lion, Members, and allow the Bill to be read a third time. Mr. S. CRA.WFORD opposed the Bill, thinking, they once departed from trial by jury in the case of young persons under 16, they could urge no reason against extending that privilege to adults cf all ages. Mr. BANKES said there were powers in the Bill to allow 'juvenile offenders to have the option of a trial either by a jury or a magistrate. He should support thq Bill. LLAGII sai3 it was cl4.ngeroui; to lax - ease the summary jurisliction of rnagistr;,.t.-s. it was estab lishing one law or the poor and another for the rich. and if it were only on that ground he should feel it to be . . _ hi 6 duty to oppos - e the Bill: Mr. AGLIUN3Y protested a;ainst the assertion that V , is was a law sgainst s-lasses; it was a law i;aittst crioue,.and the rich would be as much amenable to it as the poor. Toe 1;C:1130 thEn divided, when there appeared— For Vl's third reading ... 119 ApiLst, The Bill was vleu reA a ttifid time. Mr. 110ITVE1iIE then Ir. ,, ved the insertion of the following clause :—And be it enacted, that one t f justices tg.sfore whom any person shall be cha ged, anti proceed?nd agai2st under this Act, or the berembelore e itioned Acts, before such person shall asked wt,ether ho or she has any cause to show why he or'sho should not be convicted, shall say to the per son su charged there words, or words to the like Ofect: " We shall Lavo to 'near what you wish to say in answer to the charge rt'fainst you; but if you wish the charge to be tried-by a jury, you roust object now to our de cidieg Upon it at once;" and if such p(srson, or a par , - , nt, or the next friend of such person, shall then ohk et, the justie:is shall proce:d with the charge as it' the said Acts hid not been passed. Sir JoaN PAKINGTON would have no (njection to place the clause in the Bill. lie however, gu,c4e4ted that the wocds " next friend" should be struck out. Sit G. STRICKLAND pointed out, the absurdity of giving stick an option to a child undor - ten years of is e, wrs could not las supposed to know anything about objScting. After few words from Mr. AGLIONBY, Mr. BOUVERIE said he had t;)) objeclion to adopt the suggestion of the Hon. Baronet, and strike out the words " next friend," The clause as amended was then agreed to, and ordered to he added to the Bill, after which the Bill was passed. CQPYFIOLDS ENFRANCLII6EUEN'r BILL. Mr. AGLIONBY moved the second reading of this Bill; The principle ot the Bill was to relieve the copy hold tenures from those remains of the f:eidal system which pressed so heavily on the prosont occupier. He was surprised that no Government since 1831 had ven tured to take one step in aseordaneo with this principle, although several Committees had pronounced in favour of his present measure, and that, too, very strongly. lie thon e ht that if the country only knew the arse.. eels which were caused by the present system it would be sore to put an cud to them. The Hon. Gentleman then conolueed by moving the second reading of the Bill, expressing his readiness to attend to any suggestion which might be thrown out to Ishii in the course. of the debate. Mr. CURIE ['OMER opposed the second reading of the Bill. He felt himselt wholly inadequate to cuter upon the consideration of the change in the law, now preiposed by the Hoe. Member for Cuckermouth. He (Me. Christopher) objected to the B:ll more in general tertne than with respect to details. His great objection to the Bill was that, altnough the Boa. and Learned Mem ber (Mr. Agiionby) submitted than it was his wish to du justice to all parties, when he (Mr. Christopher) read the 'provisions of the Bill he found that it was, to all inteute and purposes, a one-sided measure, and was calcalsted to injure persons in their own rights, and in the possession of their property. He saw nothing in the - Bill irhich could be satisfactory to the landlord and the tenant, and that being so he objected to the Bill being proceeded with farther; and ho would beg to move that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. BEATHCOTE said the Hon. and Learned Mem her.'fOr Csciterinouth (Mr. Aglionby) pref,ssed to have in view the doing away with the paraphern a lia o f th e copyhold courts, he (Mr. Heathcote) did out think the Bill would effect any such object. He objected to the Bill also on the ground that it did not do justice to the lord of the manor and the tenant, though it prufeseed to attain that object. He was of opinion that the Government of the country ought to briug in a Bill ot this kind and cot a private Member. The Copyhold Commissioners had in some degree recommended this Bill to be brought forward, but the Government, finding that it would not answer had, as he believed, declined to introduce it. He would support the amendment of the Hon. Member (Mr. Claristepher). Mr. StIAITO ADAIR ventured to suggest to the House to allow the Bill to be read a second time pro fo-eta, and then to refer it to a Select Committee, the eleinbers of which would have an opportunity of consi sleriair its bearine, and might so modify and improve it as to meet the wishes of ail parties concerned. Viscount GALWAY thought that, considering the great importance attaching to a meesture of this kind, it should have been introduced to the Rouse under the auspices of the Geverneetne Sir GEORGE GREY said, though the Government could not undertike to introduce a ail of this nature, he was prepared to support the principle of the measure. He thought there were great difficuities cAneeted with this •Subjk.ct He had had many deputations to see him on the subject of stewards of lords of manors and other sech persons affec;kd by this Bill. They expressed great anxiety that the principle of compulsory registration should be carried out. Their objection to the Bill was that' . in did not go f ar enoug h.—(ll ear, h ear.) H av i ng arrived at this agreement as to the principle, he was very sorry that the Bill of his Hon. Friend the Member for Cirencester was not before the House. Ho should re enuamend the second reading of the Bill in order to refer it to a Select Committee, where the differences between the Hon. Gentleman behind him (Mr. Aglionby) and h i s Hon. It who had not yet introduced his Bill— which, however, it was understood would be brought for ward_might be reconciled. If thi s Bi ll were pressed to a division he should certainly vote for the second reading, not prro forma simply, but to approve its principle. Mr MULLINGS was decidedly in favour cf a mea sure for the enfranchise ment of copyh o ld s, b ut he thought this Bill contained not one word in all its pro viiiens for that purpose. He could tall the lion. Mem leer' opposite that in no shape cou ld this B ill be carried into working. He should not oppose the second read ing, because of his approval of the principle of it. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND said that this Bill Was called a copyhold enfranchisement Bill, but in truth it was nothing of the kind. It was simply a commute , Lion Bill, to change the present mode of payment i . nt( t ti h te e fixed rent•charge. It did not get rid of copyhold tenure ; on the contrary, it was a Bill to perpetuate that; and his wish was to get rid of copyhold tenure. If any Member should bring foreard -- a real and not a sham Bill on this subject, he should give it his cordial support, but he felt bound to vote against the present Bill, believing that it would operate very unjustly on the lords of manors. Colonel SIBTHORP supported the Bill. Mr. HENLEY observed that there was no principle in the Bill to protect the enfranchisement of copy holds, and he should, therefore, vote against the second reading. Mr. AGLIUNBY said the great object of the Bill was to enfranchise all property from the objectionable parts of its tenure, and t o l eave a ll w hi c h was o f serv i ce to the parties interested in that property. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading ... 103 Against it ••• 84 Majority ••• ••• •.. —l9 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 17th of July. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAY 3 BILL. Mr. NEW DEGAItE moved the second reading of this Bill, the object of, which was to force railway com p lilies to pay for medical advice end attendance when ever an accident on the line required it. The Honour able Member proceeded to cite various instances of accidents on railroads, in which, owing to the uncer tainty of the law at to the liability of railway companies in the case of accidents, great inhumanity had resulted. All tha: this Itiil provided was, that railwey com panies should he an the first instance liable to erred fur asiitlanco in the case of accidents on thee. railway; ; ,but it gave t ctri the power of recovering froth the person hurt by such accidents the expense of the medical attendant, if - such person was competent to pay, or from the parish, if he was a pauper. It might be urgel that those accidents on rallroads were rare; his answer to that was that if th ose accidents were rare, the liability was also small. He urged the House to pass this Bill, which he believed would ope rate in mercy to the poor. Mr, ELLIS opposed the Bill. Ile was a director of two of the largest railways in the kingdom—the London and North-Western and the Midland Railways, and he ventured to say that none of his brother directors had ever endeavoured to shield themselves from any just claims which might be made upo n them in respect of any neglect of their servants or want of care on the line. He referred to the judgment of Mr. Baron Parke in one of the cases alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman who introduced the Bill, to show that though railway companies were not legally responsible for the cost of surgical aid rendered to perso ns who might meet with accidents, yet that little injury could result to the public from that state of the. law, for a surgeon could always have a goo d edam a4atnst any patient he might attend, and if the patient happened to be poor and unable to pay, he could recover a sufficient amount of damages from the company to enable him to discharge the bill of his medical attendant. Mr. ADDERLEY said the Bill wa: not proposed to meet individual cases, but to remedy a very anomalous state of the law, which exposed her Majesty's subjects to great danger, more especially the poorer classes. Colonel SIBTHORP gave his cordial support to the Bill, and so far did ho approve of its principle that he would make railway directors grant annuities to the widows, children, and representatives of persons who were killed by accidents, for a certain number of years after their death. If he had his own way, he would have not only a surgeon but a director in every carriage attached to a train on a railway.—(A laugh.) Mr. LABOUCIIER,E said he could not recommend the House to pass this Bill, because he believed the principle of it very 01 - jectionable. Legislation of the kind proposed in the Bill was much to bo deprecated.— (Hear, hear.) It would, in effect, alter the general law of the land as to principal and agent, and without the slightest cause being shown for dot so.—(llear.) Mr. SPOONED agreed with the Right lion. Gentle man that before they could take railways out of the ge neral course of the law they must establish a peculiar case against them, but that case had been made out. Baron Parke had laid it down that the servant who sent for the medical man was liable for his charges, and not the company, and it was to meet this state of the law that this Bill had been introduced, for as the law now stood the servant of a railway company, in the event of an acci dent, was afeaid to go tor a medical man through the dread of having to pay the expenses. The object of the Bill was to remedy that evil, but if it did not accom plish that end, it was the duty of the Railway Board to suggest some other remedy before it determined to oppose the measure, or e!se what did they pay the Board for if it c uhf not deal with a ea its like this? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objcc*-ed both to th title and preamble of the Bill. Ho adinEted taat as the , law now stood a company was not liable for the acts o' its servants in calling in medical advice in case (a!' dents, hut he denied that it was either necessar:, or expedient to alter the law in that respect. The House WAS not to be in-tile:iced in this matter the fact that two ja;,3ges of two different county court, hal arrived at different conclusions resp::cting the lia bility of a servant of a railway to pay for medical at tendance which he called in in case of accidents. The Hou ae ought rather to be guided by th e principle laid do we by the Court of Exchequer, that railway companies were not bound by the ails of their servants in calling in medical aid in case of accidents on their hues. Mix was nothing so dangerous in the administrati'm of time law as the intrialueing exceitioral !.:!:;I..latioci to Ilas,l particular cases; and it was a saying in Westmluatei Hall that " hard ca-es ma lo bad law," for it such cases the judge a were likely t ) be guided' by their feelings nether than by a strict regtrd to the rules of law. lie h , prd the House would reject the Bill Mr. It;CARDO would net argue such a ye , tion this :is a matter of interest; but he would remind th House that there was on ICeitifig law caliel Liza; CainpbAi's Act, under which railway companies were 'table every day to •ho inulcted iu heavy damage, for eecidents on their railroads. Ile conteade,i that the ia-v ai it stood wa-. amply sulticicni to mete out justice to parties meeting witl, accidents on railways. He also submitted that L nine cases out of ten the accidents that occurred or railroads happened through the negligence of the parties thenaselre , , rather than through that of the corn panics or their serve; te—(Cries of" Divide.") The House then divided, when there appeared— Fer the second reading ... 53 Against it ... „, „, 103 Majority ••• ••• ... —5O The Bill was accordingly thrown out. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Sir G. GREY said that it had been arranged that the House should meet to-morrow at twelve o'clock, t& proceed with th discussion ~ f the Landlord and Tenant Bill, introduced by the Hon. Member fir Berkshire (Mr. Piney-). However, consideritur the late sitting last night, and that the House would also probably sit to a lat} hour to-morrow night, ho did not think it would be io conformity v.: ith the general wkh cf Hon. lembrrs to meet to-norrow at twelve lock. He proposed, there fore, that the order for the third readin g of that Bill, at twelve o'clock to-morrow, he discharged. The order was read and -discharged, and the third reading of the Bill was fixed for Tuesday rex-, at twelve o'cloAr. THE S UN, LONDON, SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. Mr. G. BAN IiES said this Bid, which bail come down 'rota the House of Lorck stood for a second reading to- illy, a!):1, unless eny Hon. Members opposed the measure, he would wi:.h to take the sccdnd reAdin k T, cf the all now, and to fix th.. Committee for a future day, %ter' r diieus.sioa might tale piac:•.—(Cries of "No, no!") It ha was to understand mete was to be any Eorious oppos' tion to ao Bill, as it was so near six o'clock, he would nut now press the second reeding, but would postpone it to Wednesday, the 17th of July. Mr. KEOGH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to give further facilities to town commissioners for the improve ment of towns in Ireland. The Bill was brought in and read a first time. Mr. CONOLLY moved that the Committee on Engines for taking Fish (Ireland) Bill do consist et seventeen MPmhers, and that Captain Junes and Mr. Archdall he aided to the CJrnasittee. Mr. ANSTEY oppos, d the moti.n. Au HON. MEMBER. moved that the House bo countd, and there b , ing only 21 Members present, tr.e Speaktr adjourned th© House at ten minutes to Six till Four o'clock to-morrow. POST-OFFICE SUNDAY LABOUR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—On Sunday last I wag anxious to get two letters from the post-office at Huddersfield, but owing to this absurd regulation, I could not have them till 'Monday morning, from which I was very much inconvenienced. I hope it will not be many days before this stupid alteration is done away with; but should that not appear likely to take place, I hope you and all the leading papers will take the matter up, and recommend meet ings to be held in all the principal towns. lam well aware that the Ministers thought it better to let the small fanatical clique have their way for a short time, itnoNing that a trial of their plan would do more to condemn it than any arguments trey (the Minister 9) could make use of ; hut they ought to have considered the great inconvenience they were puvieg the community to. I have a great respect for Lord John Russell and Co.; their intentions are good, and their measures also, gene— rally spt aking. Lord John's conduct and speech touching the Greek affair wag noble in the extreme; but they want tact, or they would not have suffered themselves to have been " taken by surprise," as they have been on several occasions this session, while their own friends were at dinner. Their friend Sir Robert, had he been in office, would have kept a more sharp look-out on the movements of his opponents. If you have a corner to spare, perhaps you will let this appear in your valuable paper.—Yours respectfully, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER, Representing two houses in the city of London. York, June 25, 1.850. SERIOUS RIOTING AT DUNFERMLINE THE MILITARY CALLED OUT. For the last few days great excitement hes been oc casioned in the Western District of Fife, by certain out rageous proceedings, which have assumed so alarming an aspect as to induce the civil authorities to apply for the aid of the military from this quarter. On Saturday evening, about eleven o'clock, a band of "navies," armed with bludgeons and knives, made a savage and unprovoked attack on some of the inhabitants of Dunfermline, several of whom were severely injured —one, it is feared, fatally—from a stab in the neck and fracture of the skull. The ut most excitement for some time prevailed; but ulti aaloadtgd in e e lythe g n so a l. vies were overpowered, and eleven cf them Again, on Sunday evening, two men were attacked and stabbed in the suburbs of Baldridgeburn. The feelings of the townspeople had now become m ye n s e t h erd e a x y as c p u er o a n t a e a d y , ,) and a certain class resolved on summary retaliation. A cc o r di ng ly a b ou t t en o ' c l oc k street, vowin g to send all a mob of 400 or 500, principally very young lmen ) : and boys, paraded the g to the Iriesintene's I l r o i d s g h in o g u s t , t o u f rn t e h d e t t n o e ss ui -n and, proceeding summarily out of doors, giving them time only to take their clothes with them. one man, we believe, resisted, having struck at one oTthetosm axe and cut open his arm, for which w h n ew en n with an ly punished by a dreadful blow from a bludgeon, severely punished laid his scalp open. The mob having - proceeded to the works of tt , e Stir ling and Dunfermline Railway, about a dozen men were marched thence, and the whole paraded through the town for the purpose of being sent across the Forth at Qeeens'erry. A gentleman who left Dunfermline yesterday after noon saw from 40 to 50 at North Queentferry, wh et , the Sheriff and Fiscal had proceeded, and managed to protect them from any ill-usage. A company of the 13th Light Dragoons passed through this city at seven o'clock last night, to aid the civic authorities, as it was apprehen ded teat the popu lace would rise against the Irish wea vers and colliers in the district, of whom there area good many. It was also feared that about 300 navies who are employed on the Cowrie section of the railway would march in to aid their countrymen. In the afternoon about 300 special constables were sworn in, and at present matters wear a most threaten ing aspect.—Edinburgh Acitertiser of Tuesday. CLARENCE RAILWAY.—The proprietors awrnblerl on Tuesday,but in consequence of certain accounts and reports which the committee proposed laying before this special general meeting not being in a sufficient state of preparation, aynotion for an adjournment was carried, and the committee did not enter into the affairs of the company.

MANCIIESTLR, TUESDAY.—We have another in stancy of the sensitiveness with which any slight change in either the cotton or the yarn market is responded to by the other. Notwithstanding the accounts of injury done to the growing crop by unseasonable weather, and extensive inundations, so •is to render another year's short supply probable, there was lately a drooping. tendency in prices at New York, in consequence of rather less favourable tidings than before from Manchester. On Saturday the Asia arrived in the Mersey, with advises of a recur rence of animation on the other side. attended with an advance of to i cent. on the receipt of intelligence that some little improvement had subsequently taken place in our market. This has at once revived us, in some degree, from our latest relapio into a declining state- The spinners •of water twist, and of the lower and medium counts of mule, whether for shipment or for home consumption, have assumed a decidedly firmer bearing; the buyers find, therefore, that they have lost the small advantage in making a bargain, which they possessed last week. For the yarns here re ferred to, rather more has been paid to-day than was obtainable a few days ago ; and those buyers have proved to be in the tight, who, as stated in our last, were then taking-off the cheapest lots they could meet with, from a persuasion that there was no likelihood of a pormanent decline. The sales cannot be said to kayo exceeded a moderate nmeunt; they would, how ever, have been greater but or the prices generally insisted on. The purchase: of No. 40's to 70's on In thee account, may be sta:cd as of lair 4 xtvut, at folly es high rates as those of last week; and we have still to report well of the better qualities of 60's and upwards, and of some numbers of doubled yarns. Altogether, the market has shown a good deal of buoyancy; and the lightness of stocks taken in connexion with other circumstances, leads many to expect a still hardening tendency in prices. The effect of this impulse in goods is rather to add to the previous rise in the value of long cloths, T-cloths, domestics, and fustians. The stocks of these articles were becoming light (of long cloths scarcely any are to be found), and the home as well as the foreign demand for them is good. But in printing cloths cud 36 and 40- inch shirtings the only observable effect is to stop their declining tendency. Manufacturers are reverting to their quotations of a fhtuight back, but the buyers are little disposed to operate, and their purchases aro of small extent. ROCHDALE, MONDAY. — There is little change in the flannel market to.day from that of last Monday, either in demand or prices. There has been very little doing in the wool market, principally from the dealers holding out for prices the manufacturers were ua willing ro give. MACCLEMELD, TUESDAY.—We have little worthy of note to record as regards either the tnanufacturieg or throwing departments of the silk trade. A few gods have been sold during the week at prices barely, if at all remunerative; and the continuance, on the one hand, of advancing prices for the raw m a te r i a l, and on the I other, the stationary, f not depressed state of the market for gooda, are compelling cur manufacturers to stop production as far as practicable, until a better disposition as to prices shall be manifested. The !throwing mills and warehouses are now stopped for a few days, in consfvenee of Midsummer holidays ; but complaints ate Stijl general of th e i mposs ibility o f ob taining prices for thro wn s ilk s .

Yarn is in active demand, at ad vancing rates. Tho wool market exhibits more life, and considerable quantities arechanging hands. The growers are asking of the staplers higher prices than they can obtain from the spinners, and this gives a firmer tone to the quotations. LEEDS, TcEsDAY. — Thero is no change of importance , o notice in the cloth trade since our last report. The alerkets have been well attended, and the manufacturers still continue busy.

(Sitting at Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL end a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. COHEN AND DAVIS. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Iluddlestone were the counsel for the prosemion; Mr. Sergeant She and Mr. Balhintine appeared on behalf of the defendants. This was an indicAment against; the defendants charging them with conspiracy to defraud czrtain credi tors of Cohen. From the evidence adduced it appeared that Cohen was formerly a tailor. fie ordered a quan tity of glass and earthenware from certain dealers in those articles. These goods he consigned to Davis, who ' carried on business in the Blackfriats-road. soon after wards Cohen went before the Insolvent Court. and afti r several examinations he was ordered to be imprisoned for twenty mom hs fir difrauding, his creditors. Sub sequently this indictment was preferred. A great many witnesse3 were eximined. Lord CAMPBELL heviNg briefly summed up, The jury instantly returned a verdict of guilty against both the defendants. _ M. CHAMBERS :Len prayed the judgment of the Court. Lord CAMPBELL szid, by way of example he would suite: ce the defendants to one year's imprisonment, during which time they should be respectively kept to hard labour. _ _ Mr. M. CIIAMBERS handed up the statute to his Lordship, for ttie purpose of showing that it did not contain any prevision fur awarditig hard labour. Lord CADIPI3tiLL said he deeply regretted it. He would, therefure, sentence them to Le imprisoned for one year. COURT OF 'COMMON PLEAS, June 26. (Sittings at Ni3t Price, before L.rd Chief Justico WILDE and Common Juries.) HOOPER V. PARKER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for the injury the plaintiff had sustained by the assault of the defendant, committed so far back as February, 1849. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Willes were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Garth fur the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff and defendant had had transactions together, and the defendant being indebted to the plaintiff in about 4001., the plaintiff, on the 3d of February, 1849, called upon the defendant ,in Billiter street, and previously to the commencement of the conversation the clerk was sent out of the room. The clerk, however, suspecting that " a bother" was about to take place, de ermined to uitnefs the proceedings, and altar ,some conver sation had taken place he beard the plaimiff call the defendant "a liar." The defendant then struck at the plaintiff, who was throw❑ across a chair. The only appearance of any injury was a slight cut upon they lip. No further notice was talt,n until the month of August or September, when the plaintiff, having had an attack of cholera, di covered that a . 6 lumber abscess" was formed on his back. lie applied to his medical adviser, and was under his treatment for several months, for which his claim against the plaintiff amounted to 701. He attributed the formation of the abscess to some strain occasioned when the plaintiff had fallen over the chair. Mr. Bransby Cooper and Mr. Cock were also examined as witnesses, who also said that the abscess might have been caused from the effects of a fall, but, upon cross examination, admitted that it might be caused by various states of the body as well as by a fall. The jury retired for about an hour, when they re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 2001. damages. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, June 26. (Before Mr. Commissioner Lew.) IN THE MATTER OF SAMUEL GRENVILLE FLETCHER. This insolvent, who had been proprietor of the Kentish Champion, weekly newspaper, applied to be discharged. He had been nearly two years in prison, five months of which time he had bum seriously ill, and had ben pre vented from making en earlier application for the want of means. He had published some "Parliamentary Portraits," and had been searetary to a company called the Hydraulic Telegraph Company, which had been provisionally registered. Mr. Hell, a wine-merchant, opposed on the ground that the insolvent had obtained goods from him to nearly 101., and ho had sue=d him in a county court. It appeared that a friend of the insolvent had offered some of his ci editors a composition of 4s. in the pound, which was refused. Mr. Commissioner LAW was of opinion that Mr. Hell had good cause of complaint, but whether he would peas his case rested with him. It was the insolvent's fault that he had remained so long in confinement. The case stood adjourned for a week to amend some formal matters. IN RE JOHN MEEK'S. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Nichols for a per son named Pentecost; Mr. Sargood supported the and cation for discharge. The parties were milkmen in the Wandsworth-road, and ono charged the other with stealing a milk-can, which led to a charge of felony, and to an action for fdso imprisonment, which action was tried at the last limo. ' - ston A,siz and a verdict given for the opposing credi tor for 101. The costs were considerable, and hence the insolvency. It appeared that the insolvent lad been put into busi ness by a gentleman named Lisle, and after the action was tried a bill of sale was given on which the property was protected, and the insolvent's family allowed to re main on the premises. Mr. Nrcuons submitted that the property must be given up before tt - le insolvent was discharged. He com plained of a statement on the t.chedu!e reflecting on the character of the opposing creditor. Mr. SARGooD consented to expunge the statement. Mr. Commissioner Lew declined to ord-,r the pro perty to bs given up. The execution creditor could have tried the question, and by being appointed assigoro he could bring an action to recover possession of the sAme.

She put down the guinea, but was told :she must pay another halt-guinea, as the price was a :uines. end a half. She declined, taking the mantle at that price, and requested to have her money returned. This was refuted, and she was compelled to pay the half guinea. As she conceived she had been imposed upon 3ho wished to know if she had any mode of obtaining redress. Mr. BINGHAM said a magistrate could render no (V.. sistance, but ho had no duubt she could procure redress at the county court. A second lady came forward and made a precisely si mils.r statement, but the occurrence took place in ano ther shop in Oxf)rd-street, the number of which was not stated. The lady said she had been terrified into giving the additional price. Mr. BINGHAM gave this lady the same advice as he had given to the former one. MA R YL EBONE. Mr. Assheton Smith, a Fr,ontlerrmn of considerable pro nerty, residing at 13, Hyde-park-gardens. attended be foie Mr. Broughton, by virtue of a summons which had been obtained against him for assaulting Richard John lent Herring, a youth firteen years of age, whose father is a solicitor in Stafford-street, Marylebono. Mr. Herring attended on behalf of his son, and Mr. 11-.ndall for the defendant, who was accompanied to the court by two Members of Parliament aad other fr:ends. - Mr. Herring, upon the case being called on,remarked that he hoped there would ba no distinction made, and rhat the defend-salt, however high his station in life might be, ought to take up his position in the place usually occupied by person% when charged under similar circumstances. The gentleman added that, while in the court, defendant had assaulted his (Mr. Herring's) clerk, for which offence he would probably be proceeded Rgainit elsewhere. Mr. BnouGarreN said it was no unusual occurrence at the Old bailey for a party accused to be allowed to sit by the side of his counsel. Defendant here left his seat and stood at one end of Ise attorneys' table in front of the hooch. Mr. Herring detailed at some length the particulars cenneeted with the affair, and the following evidence was adduced:— Complainant said—Oa the morning of the 24th inst. I was seat by my father to defendant's house fir the purpose of serving him with a copy of ft, writ. The footman was standing at the door, and I asked him if lir. Smith lived there; to which he replied that he did, but that be was then engaged with a gentleman. „Ita asked me my business and my name ; when I told him that my business was narticular, and that I wished to see Mr. Smith himself. Ho sail be did not think Mr. Smith would see me without knowing my name and the reason for my calling, when I told him that my name was Herring, and repeated that my busi ness was of a p articular nature. He asked me :f I would come in and sit down in the hall, which I did; and pre sently the butler came end questioned me as to my name, &0., and I eava him the same answer which I hail given to the footman. lie left me. and in ab but au hour and a half afterwards a gentlemen, who I imegined the time to be Mr. Smith, went out of the house, and, jumping into a eab in waiting at the door, was driven off. The butler Came and asked me my name a second time, en my telling him what it was, he opened a door and went into a room, and soon afterwards Mr. Smith made his appearance. I asked him if his name- was Assheton Smith, and he said " Yest, it is; what 40 you want? " I then put my hand into my pocket, and took therefrom a writ and a copy, and holding out the copy told him (Mr. Smith) that I had a writ against him, when he said, " If ou come presenting any of your writs to are I'll give you a good lickinse. Get out of my house directly." tie put his fist up within three or four inches of nay face, and en the footman, by his directions, opening the door, I quitted the place. Mr. BROUGHTON (to Mr. Randall)—What answer is there to this? Mr. Randall—Mr. Smith has just inti mated to me that he wishes to make his own statement and to call his witnesses. Mr. Smith—l deny the truth c f the greater part of -hat complainant has stated. I admit having said that I would give him a good licking. The footman and the butler were called, and their evi dence, particularly that of the former (who, however, prevaricated considerably in some instances), was con tradictory of the most material portions of complainant's allegation. The witnesses underwent a severe cross-ex amination by Mr. Herring. The MAGISTRATE.' felt that he should not be justified, from the conflicting, nature of the evidence, in commit ting the defendant, anti the summons was therefore dis missed. LAMBETH. Mr. Henry Page, a master bricklayer, was brought before Mr. EiFott for further examination, charged with administering poison to his alleged wife; also with inter marrying with Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke, a married woman, his former wife being then and now living. The said Mary Ann Clarke was else charged with intermarrying with Henry Page, the above-mentioned prisoner, her former husband being then and now living. The circumstance s of this case are most extraordi nary, and the offence was brought to light in a very singular manner. Information was given to the police about ten days ago that the prisoner Page had adminis tered poison to his wife, whose life at that time was despaired of. Page was taken into custody on the charge, and in the meantime it was ascertained that both the prisoners had been previously married; the woman mar ried Mr. Clarke eight years ago, but frequently absented herself from his house as long as three weeks at a time. On Wednesday fortnight she left Clarke's house, and did net return until the Friday. when she appeared quite mad, and it was with considerable difficulty that she could be restored. When her senses were sufficiently returned she burst into tears in the presence of Clarke (her first husband) and exclaimed, " I have a great burden on my mind. I was married to Page, at Poplar Church, on the 10:h of February, 1848." Clarke (hor husband) said she was in a sane state of mind when she male that statement; that he had seen her in Page's company seve ral times, and had given him a sound thrashing when ever he met them. Being informed that Page bad admi nistered poison t 3 her, he gave information to the police and had him apprehended. Donald Brims, the constable who apprehended Page, said, that he called on the female prisoner immediately afterwards. `he then told him that she was married to Page, and that he placed some drug in her drink while in a coffee-house near Newington Church. As soon as she seas sufficiently recovered he appreneuded her for intermarrying with him, her former husband being then living. _ . _ Mr. LLLIOT—Have you any evidence respecting the double marriages? Brims—l have some witnesses pre sent who can give evidence. Maria Nash, a widow, was first called, and stated that she was pr(s,nt at Lambeth old church in the latter part of 1842, when she saw the female prisoner married to Andrew Clarke. Witness's husband was also a wit ness to the marriage. Martha Page, the mother of the male prisoner, said she was present when he married Ellen Regan at St. John's Church, Waterloo-road, on the 6th of April, 1834. The constable produced a. copy of the retrister relative to the last marriage, signed by the Rev. Mr. Irvine the minister, and two witnesses. s s s s s s Mr. ELLIOTT asked the constable whether he had the registers of the other marriages? The officer replied in the negative; he had not had sufficient time to get them.

The ordinary routine business having been trans acted, several personal applications were attended to, and the reports of the inspectors read and considered. TEE SMOKE NUISANCE. Mr. G. WALTER then brought forward a memorial from gentlemen connected with the ward of Faring don-without. Deputy ()BEARD presented a petition to the same effect from Dr. Hutchinson, of Bridge•street, and others, which having been received, Mr. WALTER said he could assure the Court that the inhabitants of his district were much annoyed by the nuisance, and therefore he (Mr. Walter), seeing that a measure for its suppression was now before the House of Commons, would suggest that the prayer of the petitioners should be complied with, and that the Court should petition in favour of the Smoke Prohibition Bill. The CuaramAN—The Common Council have peti tioned, and therefore the matter is taken out of our hands. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR observed that it appeared to him that, as the matter) was referred to that Court to report upon, the commtttee should have done so without delay.— (Hear, hear.) Whatever that report might be, it was the duty of those to whom the business was referred to have so reported. He consi dered that they ought to do all that lay in their power to get the smoke nuisance abolished, though he would not have members of tr,e CJurt be too fasti dious, lest they should drive away manufacturers from their trade in the City.—(Rear, hear.) Still he thought that the suggestions made by practical men ought to be attentively considered, that the object of the petitions, represented by the worthy members, Mr. Walter and Deputy ObbArd, might be accom plished.—(Cheers.) Deputy HoLT would move that the petitions be referred to the General Purposes Committee, for their examination and report. Mr. T. HALL warmly seconded the motion. Deputy LOTT also 3urported the reference. Mr. WALTE,it thought the Court should petition Parliament upon the subject and in support of the Bill without delay. as did also Mr. W. B•rber. Mr. GODSON said that the Bill in question was not a Government, but a private Bill, promoted by a pri vate individual, and therefore, that they were in po sition to petition against it.—(Hear, hear.) Was it not strange that no report either, "Yes," or "No," had been mede on this reference ? lie thought so, and he was glad to see that in this opinion he did not stand alone.—(Hear) It was still more strange that the subject had been referred to the Parliamen tary Committ: e also ; but still no report had been made from either body, though the references were dated in Jenuary and April last. Deputy Lott had inquired of Mr. Simon whether the effluvium escap ing from chimney shafts, after the smoke had been consumed, was not more deleterious than opaque smoke. He (Mr. Godson) was prepared to show from the most eminent scientific authorities that such an opinion was altogether fallacious. With regard to the Chairman's remark that the Bill was in the House of Commons, and that it would there succeed, and therefore that he thought it to he unnecessary to move in the matter, on the principle that " too many cooks would spoil the broth," he (Mr. Godson) could not help thinking that the way in which the subject had been treated savoured very much of something like a "cooking" of the matter altogether. The Chairman had informed him (Mr. Godson) that the reference had been sent to the surveyor, and that that gentleman had stated be could do nothing with it, so that between their officer and the Committee of Health, the matter had been hitherto neglected, notwithstanding the fact that the officer of health for the City (Mr. Simon) had written strongly with reference to the nuisance, and the injury done to the health of the City, and the poor in.particular, from the smoke escaping from the numerous large chimney shafts scattered throughout the City. Upon the motion being put that the petitions be referred to the General Purposes Committee, it was carried unanimously. Some business of minor importance was then trans acted, and the Court adjourned. A deputation, consisting of the following noblemen and gentlemen, had an interview with Lord John Russell on Tuesday at his official residence in Downing•street, on the subject of the removal of those dangerous obstructions to the navigation of the Menai Straits, the Snell), Rocks: —viz. Lord Newborough (Caruarvon), Mr. Thomas Turner (Caruarvon), NIL John Williams (Mayor of Chester), Mr. Taylor (Aberystwith), Mr. V,ughan Williams (Port Madoc), Mr. Magnus (Aberduvey), Mr. J.

INQUEST.—TIIE STATE OF THE SEILPENTINE. — On Tuesday an inquest was taken by Jr. Bedford, at the Malpas Arms, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of Thomas Bellonia, aged ls, the son of a Wtst India mer chant, who was drowned in the Serpentine on Sunday morn ing. Mr. Chorley, the secretary to the Humane *Society, said that he had waited on the Duke of Cambridge since the last inquest, and represented to his Royal flightless the ne cex,ity of preventing hailing on the north side, from its dangerous state, and hid Roval Highness immiediately wrote to the Commissioners of hut nothini2; had yet I),!mi dont.
