The folowing official bulletin of the battle o: Ilstedt has been published at Copenhagen : "REPORT OF THE BATTLE OF IDSTEDT. " COPENHAGEN, SIINDA.7 EVENING, JULY 23. " TWELVE P.M. "In accordance with the dispositions made, two bri gades of the second division advanced at half-past one on the morning of the 25th of July, from Havetoft. The sth brigade advanced at four o'clock from Hellig beck. The latter brigade was engaged immediately, and commenced the conflict, which was speedily deve loped in an extensive degree on our right wing. The enemy attempted a .flank movement against this wing. A few battalions of the fire& division were sent to oppose his advance, and they soon succeeded in driving the enemy back. " The weather was extremely unfavourable, accom panied by heavy rain and fog, which . prevented any thing being seen at any distance. In an easterly direc tion no engages:lAM; wait notified, and from the second division no intelligence was sent in. Under these cir cumstances, and at it was necessary that in'ormati should be gained from the officers and orderlies sent out for such a purpose, the s:h brigade was ordered not to advance furthee, but merely to boa' the enemy in check, aed s,uue additional aid in this reopen:, seas seat to it from the reserve artillery. A short time after this ope ration was effected intelligence was brought that a part of the 2d division, which, according to the disposition made, had directed its advance upon our left through Over-Tolk, and after several battalions had passed through, as the 13th had proceeded half through the village, was attacked by a most murderous fire from the houses. The detachments in the front were ordered to return immediately, but even the greatest part of there were shot down, and otherwise scattered by the insur gents, about 1,000 men strong, who, with some peasants, had prepared the ambuscade, and executed it. Several officers of high rank, who had hastened to the spot, were either killed or wounded on the occasion. Among the killed in this affair were unfortunately Major-General Von Schleppegrell, the Colonels Von Trepka and Von Lassoe, and Captain Von Krauold ; wounded—Lieuten ant-Colonel Von Bulow ; all of them most promising offi cers of the army. It was& natural consequence that so sud den a loss of the chief in command of the division, with his staff in pert, should have caused some confusion in our movements. This was, however, speedily rectified. Major-General Von Muza was sent with 'a staff, farmed on the field of battle, to take command of the second. division. At eight o'clock the general left his post, but which previously had been reinforced by three battalions of the 4th brigade, under Colonel Von Thestrup. This part of the army had, in the meantime, been ably got together, and commanded by Colonel Von Buggesen. At half-past nine o'clock Major-General Von Meets sent word that he was in readiness to advance again. As those battalions, however, had not returned from the point whither they had been sent in aid of the right wing, it was determined to defer the forcing of the passes for another hour, after which period the whole], line was to advance with force and decision. " The 3d brigade had, in the meanwhile, advanced from its-position against Sotlbroe; and, after making a bridge under fire of -the enemy, forced the passage of the river. lie was consequently most rapidly driven back upon Lubeck. The brigade advanced at half-past eleven o'clock by way of Silberstedt before Schnby, which latter place was cannonaded. At half-past ten o'clock the main strength of the army advanced, and took the entrenched pass between Aruaolzoe and Langsoe by storm. After a heavy can nonade this was effected principally by the battalions of the 4th and 6th brigade, among, which was a battalion of the Foot Guards, under command of Colonel Von Ir nipp,;er, who proceeded onwards in union. with the,brigade of Colonel Von Ruder, to force the passes oa the westerly side of some small lakes, and situate between them, during which General Von Muza with the remain ing portion of the second brigade, and about four batta lions of the 4:h brigade, threw himself into position as reserve un the eastern side of the before-mentioned seas. By means of this attack the determined defence which was made in passing through the wood hitherto was rendered less effective—a defence, which was made the more difficult to oppose by the ground on both sides of the road or defile being so elevated and narrow. " The reserve cavalry, which had been concentrated near the main body, was use!ess in each a service. The Ist brigade had, during this opera:ion, been detached against Wedelspang, but. without orders to force this pass. It had( two battalions in Over-Tolk e and the remainder near I'Vecielspang. " The duty of the 31 brigade, under the command of Colonel Vun Schleperen, had been saamuspletely exe cuted, and its arrival at Schuby so opportune, iu union with the advance of the main body through the passes, that this operation contributed not a little in causing the enemy to abandon their entrenchments. " The orders which had been seta to the brigade under the unfavourable circumstances in which it was at first placed, and which were often rendered impossible in their trausthission, by the ground being so difficult, prevented, however, the movement of this brigade, by a continuation in au easterly direction, from gaining greater results. At the union of the two principal main rosds, and on the high ground of the old Chaus:oc, near Jik-gea, our chief strtogth was thrown forward quickly. From this point our reserve artillery, was attached ss;ainst Lilt - sehou and Schub', in •order to clear these points, and which service, with the aid cf Wegene:'s battery, was effseted. " The 4th and 6th brigades were directed against &lathy, whilst the main body took a peel:ion cn the hefzlits north of the teem cf 13ehleswig. After the wants had been cleared to the west of Schleswig, the army marched through the town eof Schleswig, about half-pest eight o'clock in the evening, and t - ok up a bivouac position Item Iledeoyo beyond the I)anevirke towards Schuby. " The 3d brigade bivouacked near Neu:trite as a re serve. This position was tskeet up by twelve o'clock at night. and then culy the head-quarters were established at Schleswig, and which town was occupied by one bat talion. " The enemy has probably retreated upon Rendsburg, sending one brigade to Eckanforde. his loss was con siderable, above 1,000 prisoners having den brought in. Two pieces of cannon, which belonged .to the Battery Biggescii, and had fallen into his hands during the sur prise at Over-Tulle, have been re-captured, besides which five pieces have teen taken from the enemy. In the hospital at Schleswig there are about.2,ooo wounded in surgent,. Besides this, the greater part of the ambus cade in Over-Tolle were destroyed, and the greater part of the village also destroyed. Many of the dead of the enemy are lying ire the fields, as no waggons could be found here to take them, away. " Our victory has very much improved the moral ele ment of the soldiery, who can now face with patience and endurance the necessary privations to which they have to submit, and put up with the endless hardships they have had to contend with during the last few weeks. The greatest discipline exists, and hitherto no excesses committed by them have come to the knowledge of the Comm ander-in- Chief. "But we deplore the loss of so many dear comrades— the ambuscade cost us. several of our distinguished offi cers; and on the whole we have in killed at least twelve of these, with seventy-three wounded, and about 104 killed, and 2,300 non-commissioned - officers and privates wounded. Notwithstanding this, however, our army is not the less perfectly complete for operations. Ily order, (Signed) " C. GLUD." General Willisen, the Schleswig-holstein com mander, has likewise published an official• account, in which he thus describes the causes of his retreat : " The battle had now continued from daybreak till near eleven o'clock, when the enemy, now no longer pressed on his lett wing, concentrated additional forces against the Idstedt position. To oppose this the greater part of the reserve artillery was brought into action, and the most fiercely disputed conflict of- the day now took place with this artillery. We were in hopes of being able to maintain this position, as the greater part of the hat brigade firmly kept its ground. But when the report arrived that the enemy were forcing - their way across the 'l'reene and had occupied Schuby, i; appeared highly un de.iraole to allow matters to proceed so far, and about one o'clock the resolution was come to to give up the contest and commence a retreat. " There seemed every probability from the great nu merical strength of the enemy that their position in our ' rear would soon be very considerably strengthened. A portion of the Ist brigade, consisting of the 3d and 4th battalions, was therefore ordered to prevent the enemy gaining ground in our rear, and cons, quently rendering our retreat less difficult. " Our retreat commenced between one and two in the afternoon, with no other loss in matiriel than three dig- mounted guns. At Falkenbnre the reserve artillery, the advanced gua r d, an d the 4tlibrigide, und er t h e spe cial command•of Colonel V on d er T ann, chief of the general staff, so covered the retrograde inovenient that we were no longer pressed upon by the enemy. The order was now issued for the 2d and 3d brigades to re treat to Missundo, the 4th and advance guard to Schles wig, and the Ist brigade and the cavalry from Schuby to Rendsburg. On arrival at the Castle of Gottorp the 4th brigade and the advance guard (now become the ream guard) took up the strong position at Fahrdorf so as to maintain a sate communication with the 2d and 3d bri gade at Missunde,, and also by this position to delay the enemy's advance by the direct road to Rendsburg; and, lastly, to favour the retreat of the Ist brigade, the re serve cavalry, and the heavy baggage, and to enable them to avoid , the ground which the enemy's cavalry might render dangerous. "All these objects were fortunately attained. The whole of the baggage arrived safe at Rendsburg. The reserve Cavalry and rifle brigade were but little disturbed during their retreat, and the fouellarigadee, forming the main body of the army, had effected a junction on the night of the battle. Bat it was necessary above all to reach the secure position of Rendsburg as soon as possible, tee army commenced its march to Cluvensieek and lioaigs forde. The large park of artillery retreated by w , ey of Eekernforde to Gottorp, and thence ecross the lsyder. The army thus found itself on the morning of the 26:h in We communication with Reucisburg; iloweter great oar lots, the moat painful is the Fr.:- portionately large tesuaber of officers killed and woandc d, and as soap ua tois hiss shall be rephufed the army will again, with the excellent spirit that animates it, be soon' as powerful and as ready for action as at first. • " Time lees of illea will be supplied immediately from the reserve comp_s&eta We are well supplied with provisions, , ao that I look forward with confidence to the figure.

(Extract from a Letter written by an Eyewitness.) TARNOW, JULY 23. Cracow, " the heart of Poland," is in ashes. You have, of course, learnt from the newspapers that on the 18c,b, at midday, the fire broke out almost simultaneously, at five dif ferent points in the city. Of the Episcopal Palace, of the two finest churches, the Dominican and the Franciscan, the memory alone remains. Thousands of persons, once in easy circumstances, are now enduring all the sufferings of hunger, without a roof to cover them, or a place in which to find shelter. Of your sympathy, and that of your amiable family, we are certain; but we trust that all those whose hearts are accessible to pity will combine and afford some assistance to those unhappy sufferers. When Illszaburgia experienced a similar calamity, every one came. forward with their subscription, and Poland was not backward on that occasion. The charity of Europe has not degenerated since that time, and she will not surely refuse her succour to the mass of people to whom everything is lost. The fire-ongines of the city, twelve in number, were taken possession of, and conveyed to the citadel, and it was only late on the second day of the confla gration that the Government au:bon:lea could be prevailed upon to give them up, in order to render assistance to the burning city Of the veracity of this fact I am prepared solemnly to depose on oath.

Delays of ships under Admiralty orders for Eng land derange the Admiralty distribution of the naval forces, and at the same time confuse the estimates.

Their Lordships, at his solicitation, have granted the gallant officer permission to inspect the iron butt last practised at by the Excellent's guns, and to construct a target at his own expense.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUl T:—Maidstone, Aug. 2. CROWN COURT.—(Berore Mr. Justice ERLE.) Thomas Saker, 33, described as a licenst-d victualler, was indixed for a- felonious assault upon Mary Anne Eliza Hill, a child 51 years old. Mr. Deedes and Mr. Horne appeared for the prosecu tion. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantine. This case appeared to create very great interest, not only from the extraordinary character of the circum stances under which the offence wes alleged to have been committed, but from the positiou in life of the accused person, who appears to have carried on an extensive business at Canterbury, and who also filled the office of common councilman in that city. It appeared that the unfortunate child, who had un doubtedly been the object of a most brutal attack by some person or other, was tho ill.gitimate daughter of woman named Mercy Hill, who resided in the Mi4i- tary-road at Canterbury, a short distance from the spirit establishment kept by the prisoner. On Sunday atternoon, the 7th July, about three o'clock, the mother of the little girl gave her a sixpence and a bottle, and told her to go to the prisoner's house to fetch a quartern of British brandy, and her grand mother, at the same time,_ gave her a farthing to pur chase some peppermint drops at a sweetmeat shop in the same neighbourhood. In consequence of the child not returning for a very considerable time, her mother went in search of her, and made some inquiries , respecting her at the prisoner's house, and also at the peppermint shop, but could hear no tidings of her until past four o'clock, when the poor child came home in a most dreadful condition; and it was evident, upon her being examined, that a most brutal attack had been made upon her, and it appeared that she had then charged the prisoner with being the person who had as saulted her. Upon this the mother went to the priso ner's house, and in the presence of his wife charged him with having ruined her child, and the answer he made upon this occasion was that he hed done nothing to the child, and that she must be mad,. and her child crazy, fur making such a charge. The prisoner was taken into custody the same afternoon upon the present charge, and it appeared that the consteble who apprehended him allowed 'AIM to call upon a person named Wall, who bad formerly been his partner, and they all three then pro ceeded to the house of the child's mother. They found the child in bed; and it appeared that upon her being aroused and questioned upon the subject of who had ill• treated her, she at first, said it was Mr. Saker, but afterwards she pointed to Mr. Wall as the person. It appeared that the child brought back a very :mall quantity of brandy in the bottle, and upon her mother telling the prisoner this was all she had brought, although she had been sent for a quartern, he replied that the person the child had gone away with must have drunk the rest of the liquor. In consequence of the child nut having identified the prisoner at this time, he was set at licerty, but from something that afterwards transpired he was taken into custody the same evening, and the next day he was examined Were the magis trates, when a witness named Fanny Jones was called on his behalf, and the result of the examination was that he was discharged. On the following day, how ever, lie was again taken into custody, when it appeared that further evidence was adduced, and the magistrates ultimately decided upon committing him for trial, re fusing at the same time to take bail for his appearance. The above hots were now deposed to by the different witneste:, and the little girl herself, who appeared a very, intelligent child for her age, stated positively that upon . her going fir brandy, the prisoner took I tier into a room near the bar, and committed the assault upon her, and lie said that she cried very much at the time. It appeared, however, ; that she must have been at the prisoner's house about half past three o'clock, and she represented that she went borne directly, but as her mother's house was close by, if this had been the ease, she ought to have been there considerably before four o'cl , ,clc, whereas it appeared she did not get home until hali-past four, and nu account what,ver was given how the intervening time bad teen occupied. Several witnesses who resided near the prisoner were examined, and they stated that upon the afternoon in question, and about the time when the outrage was alleged to havd been committed, they beard screams and cries, which were apparently those of a child, pro ceeding in a direction from the prisoner's premises, and it also appeared ttrat very soon afterwards the little girl was seen going towards her mother's house, evidently in a state of great suffering. It appeared in the course of the cas3 pretty clear that at the time of the occurrence the wile of the prisoner must have been in the house, and the medical evidence was favourable to the view of hii innocence. It also appeared that when the prisoner was first taken into custody he asserted that the charge was entirely false, and . he declared that he saw nothing of the little girl after he had served her with the brandy. Mr. BODKIN made a most able and convincing address 0 the jury, and atter commenting upon all the circum stances that tended to show the innocence of the pri soner, he particularly remarked upon the absence of any evidence to show what had become of the child during the period after she left the prisoner's house and her going to her own home; and he said he should be able to satisfy the jury that during that interval the assault had been committed by some other person, and that there was no foundation for the charge against the tri soner. A number of witnesses were then called for the de fence, and from their concurrent testimony the innocence of the prisoner was most clearly established. In the first place, it was shown by the evidence of one of the servants that almost at the very time when the offence was alleged to have been committed the prisoner was sitting with his 'wife in the bar parlour, and that they were together the whole teternoon. Dodd, the police man, aho proved that when he accompanied the prisoner and Mr. IV all to the mother's house he distinctly directed the chiid's attention to Mr. Salter, and asked if he was not the man who had assaulted her, and that she said he was not, and pointed to Mr. Wall. The latter gentle man confirmed this teatimony, and with regard to the screams that had been spoken 0 a highly respectable witness was called to prove that about the time referred to he had been putting leeches to two of his children, and that one of the children was frightened and screamed a good deal, and he endeavoured to stifle the sound. Another Kiteess proved that she saw the child walking in a direction frum the prisoner's house with the brandy in her hand, apparently quite well, and going towards the spot where it was represented the outrage was actu allycommitted upon her. _ _ Mr. BODKIN was then about to call another set of wit ! noses to prove that the child had, been seen with a man in a pea field, when The jury, who had for some time evinced symptoms of impatience, interposed, and said they were quite satisfied. Mr. Justice ERLE said he anticipated what conclusion they had arrived at, and although be had himself lung made up his mind that the prisoner could not be con ricted, yet in such an important case he had thought that the fullest investigation should take place, and if tue jury had not expressed themselves satisfied he should not nave felt himself justified in interposing to stop the inquiry. The jury said they were satisfied that the prisoner was entirely innocent, and that there had been a conspiracy against Mr. Justice FILE said he agreed with the jury that the innocence of the prisoner had been clearly esta blished, and he hoped it would be understood that he h ft the court without the slightest slur or suspicion upon his character. _ _ A verdict of Not . Guilty was then recorded, and the prisoner was order. d to be iininethatily discharge.). CIVIL SlDE.—(Before the LORD CDIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN v. THE SOOTS-EASTERN RAILWAY. This cause was tried on Thursday, and cccupied the Court nearly the whole of the day. The action was in the form of a inandau3us from the Court of Queen's Bench. and the real question at issue was whether the Suuth-Eastern Rail Way Company were legally liable to , , C rp n a fo r, r bE t . h %, a bridge over a road at Pluinstead, in the parish of Woolwich. l'eacnOt, and Mr. V E ned :s i r rtac c: . . a el it l e , n a e n ii d hula Although a gnat camber of witnesses were examined I on both sides, the real point involved in the inquiry may be vet • bri y (fly s.wei. It uppearcd that 'shortly before ,• the South-Eastern Company . inAl obtained their Act illes for th ; e llB d re : r f e 4. the_ txtension of the - railway hem Greenwich to Gravesend and Rochester a Mr. Lewis Davis had'pur cha:ed a piece of land at Plunistead, for building par po.4!s, and he erected a nu m b er o f h ouses, called Plum- ste - sd Villas. A road was formed to these houses, which wus,used for conveying the materials to them while they were in the course of erection, and i3r other purposes, and, this road was described hi the plans as the Plum stead-villas-road. • When the .company had obtained taeir Act it was found . that the railway must pass through the land of Mr . 'Davis and across the road in question, and the company .paid Mr. Davis a considerable sum of money, over 4,0001, for hia . laud When the railway was formed it completely cut through the road in question, shutting out all communica:ion with the houses tout bad been erected. It was contended, on the part of the prosecution, under these circumstances, that the road was a public road, and that the defendants were hound to erec:, a bridge across the railivey to give access to the houses in question. The case for the derendatt.s was that the road in question was not a public roa - 1, and that they were not liable, cither under their Act of Parliament or ac cording to the terms of the purchase of the land, to erect any bridge. The CHIEF BARON, in summing up the case to the jury, made the remark that the law was the most extor tionate usurer that hail ever existed; and, he said, no Jew usurer that ever lived could be compared to it; and he advised them, if they ever had any dispute of this sort to settle, not to settle it by resorting to a suit at law. If the pasties in the present case had obtained the best advice, and had built the most expensive bridge, or even two bridges, that were ever erected, he was quite sure they would not have incurred near so much ex pent,e as the amount that had alrcatly been expended in this action. He then proceeded to address thejury upon the fae:s and the law applicable to them; and concluded by leaving the jury to decide whether the original mort gagor of the property aas aware of and had sanctioned the making of the road in question; and, secondly, whether it had been dcdica:ed to the public; and he said that if they considered Clese facts acre made out, their verdict would ho for the plaintiff, and if they considered they were not, they would then find for the defendants. The jury, after a short deliberation, answered both questions in the affirmativ e , thi s b e i n g in eff ec t a verdi ct fur the plaintiff. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. F 110 USE OF LORDS, August 2. BOROUGH GAOLS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION. Lord Beaumont and other Peers were appointed to manego the coriaerence with the Commons on the Conn!) , Courts Extension Bill. IRISH COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved that this Bill do pass, and he hoped that the Bill would not be stopped in the House of Commons, as it was of the utmost importance to the poor suitors that it should pass. The Bill was then passed. CIVIL LIST. Lord BROUGHAM then rose to move for the returns relating to the retrenchments in the civil list, of which he had given notice. He begged to premise that he had not the remotist idea of touching the bargain made at the beginning of the reign between the Sovereign and Parliament, and he had net the slightest view of tasking indecorous economies in the civil list expenditure ; but they they had a right to know what the amount of actual savings was. He saw his Noble Friend (the Marquis of Lansdowne) shake his head, but there was nothing in that.—(Laughter.) Ho did not mean the head—no doubt there was a great deal in that, h meant the shake.—(Renewed laughter.) They had the returns of the gross saving, which for the last yeel. was 33,7191. 4s. 23.; but he wanted the pal Venters. Ile wanted to know how much was in the Lerd Steward's office, how much in the Lord Chamber ain'e office, how much in the Master of the horse's office, cal how much in salaries, pensions, and allowances, arid whether it was 611 consumable commodities or for office's ? What he wanted to gat at was, whether the vacancy c tu , e I by the death of Str Thomas Marrable, tha late Secretary to the Board of Green Cloth, had been filled up, or a reduction effected. He found that a sum of 2,0201. had bean voted in 1837, on the set tlement of the civil list, fur the expenses of the Board of Green Cloth; now that sum had been voted fir a specific purpose, and they had a right to expect that it should be applied to that purpose, rind not appropriated to any other. A saving of 33,0001. had been effected, a great portion of which might be attributed to the reduction of prices consequent upon the repeal of the corn-laws. He thought the estimates of expense were taken at too high a standard. He had to observe that the charges for services amounted to between 60 and 70 per cent. on the income, which was more than any private person would submit to. He wished to know whether any, and what part of this saving had been on account of salaries, pen sions, and allowances. • It was a mistake to suppose that the Crown received the full amount, fur it was charged by her present Majesty's predecessors with not less than 28,000/. It was not the principle of the constitution that the Sovereign of this country should amass private property, bat be dependent on Parliament, and upon this principle whatever property devolved upon the Crown became the property cf the public. It was not his in tention to press his motion at present, but he gave no tice that, early next session, he should call attention to the subject. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE objected to the mo tion, and considered it would be highly objectionable, to state the items upon which savings had been effected,which would entrench on the independence of the Sovereign, and detract from its dignity, if items were sifted to ascertain if there was a horse too many on one occasion of the visit of a foreign prince, or a dinner too many on another. The Act of Parliament provided that when a saving was made in ono decartment it might be transferred to ano ther. If the Crown came to ask for assistance, it would be consistent to institute an inquiry into the expendi ture to ascertain the necessity for the demand, but th.t was not the case here. Her Majesty had never applied fur any assistance. He was sure the Noble Lord hal no intention to review the contract entered into between the Crown and , Parliament. He could not consent to the motion. Lord BROUGHAM explained. The Duke of WELLINGTON said his Noble Friend omitted to state that it was the principle of the settle ment, that no inquiry should take place. He recollected that Lord Althorp at the time declared in the House of Commons that no inquiry should take place, and the Act was framed in strict conformity with diet declaration. The Noble Lord was then a member of the Administra tion, and must have been a party to the arrangement, in direct opposition to which his present motion was directed. On the two occasions on which the civil list was fixed he complained that it was not sufficient, and he found that in many instances it was inadevete to meet the demands upon the bounty of the Crown; and in cases where in the war parties were bereaved of their husbands the Crown was unable to make a competent allowance. Lord MONTEAGLE opposed the motion. The con tract had been framed upon the surrender by the Crown of the hereditary revenues attached to it.—(Hear, hear.) They had no right to ask any of these qaestione relating to the civil list, or to receive an answer. That was the first time when, without ,debt and without embarrass ment, such questions were asked. That was the fir.t time, and he hoped it would be the last time. The civil list was a bargain with. Parliament. If they wished to inquire about the expenditure of the civil list, they must first get rid of their bargain. If it be a bargain, they should stand to it, but if not, they should repudiate it altogether. They could net re-open the civil list d ur i ng the life of the Sovereign. The revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall had now passed away from the Crowe, and the civil list was therefore smaller than it had been fur many years. There had been no application to Parlia ment to defray debts of the Crown either during the present or the late reign. Both Sovereigns were uctu ated by economical feelicgs. The late King, upon going into the new palace, expressed to him a fear that it would lead to and involve the encase of a Dirge eat ib lishment. He remembered the emphatic worth in which he expressed these apprehensions to him. Ho observed, I never asked Parliament to pay any debt for me, and so long as I live, so help me Gen!, I never will. The economy of the present reign was equally remarkable. Under these circumstances, he hoped the motion would be rejected. Lord BROUGHAM, in reply, said that there had been much inaccuracy in the statements of the Noble Lord. Parliament was at intervals called upon to vote a certain sum to support the dignity of the Crown, and every particular was Sated most minutely. A state ment was made of the necessary expenses, and upon that statement a certain sum was voted. The sum total was dependent upon the details. If the details altered in the course of time, might not the sum total alter too. Why was the whole sum voted? Was it not because it was composed of the details? The reason why the esti mate was made with these details was, that Parliament might be able to apportion a certain sum. lie wanted to be sure that there was no diminution in the sala ries, or in the number of the office-bearers, and that the same officers were employed, and the salaries given. That was his object. If there was no check, every one of those officers might be placed in abeyance. Parlie meet had a right to inquire into this subject. He had made similar motions over and over again in the other House, with the countenance of Noble Lords who sat opposite. But a singular change had come over his Noble Friends. There was now great delicacy enter tained with regard to these subjects. That used not to be so when he led them to the attack in the House of Commons. When he moved for a statment of the droits of the Admiralty, did any one suggest that he was doing an unconstitutional act ? He urged that, session after session, until at length the Government gave in, and now it was regularly returned to Parliament. Lord MONTEAGLE—That's merely a return of a branch of the public service. Lord BROUGHAM said it was not so at the time he referred to. It was in consequence of similar perse vering motions, that Mr. Pitt consented to give up pri vate property of the Crown to the value of 3,000,0001. That was just after the battle of Trafalgar. Since then the whole details of the Dochies of Cornwall and Lan caster were produced regularly, and he thought there should be a similar annual return of the expenditure of the civil list. Lord MONTEAGLE said that his statements were supported by the fact. The salaries of the great officers of State had been the subject of Parliamentary inquiry and the civil list went to the Crown. Ia the reign of George the Third and George the Fourth debts of the Crown amounting to 3,700,000/. were to be paid by Parliament. They had then upon such applications a right to inquire into the expenditure of the civil list, but he thought his Noble and Learned Friend wrong when he said that because they inquired then they should in quire now. He saw no necessity for any such inquiry, even if it were a legitimate subject for their Lordships to entertain. The Marquis of BREADALBANE said that when the civil list was granted regulations were drawn up re specting the number, the amount of the payment of all salaries connected with the great officers of state, and no payments were made, and no alterations could take place without the counter-signature of the Queen and three Cabinet Ministers. The Lewd Chamberlain had no power whatever to make any alterations. And it should be also borne in mind by their Lordships that no less a sum than 12,0001. per annum, out of the civil list reve nues, was paid as an income-tax. Ile should therefore oppose the motion being put. Lord BROUGHAM—Do you mean a vote of censure on me?—(Cries of " Order, order.") The motion then dropped.. MERCANTILE MARINE BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this Bill, and expressed a hope that no opposition would be offered on the present occ as_on,particularly as persons of the highest intelligence and respectability had given evidence before the C enmittee that such a Bill would have a very great influence on the morality of naval officers. Ile thought that nothing could be more effec tually beneficial than that captains and mates should be subject to the supereieion of the Board of Trude. He did not wish at that late hour to enter into the deteile of the Bill, but, while he hoped that it would not then be ob jected to, he would be prepared to discuss any objection. able point in Committee. Earl WALDEGRAVE said that he would not oppose the second reading, though there were some clauses to him objectionable. Earl COLCHESTER joined in the same sentiment, and hoped that the Bill would be referred t a Select Committee on Monday, which suggestion was agreed to. The Bill was then rf al a second time. The Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill was read a third time, and passed. Their Lordships then adjourncd. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 2. COUNTY COURTS BILL. Mr. GREENE appeared at the bar, and announced that, in compliance with the request of this House, their Lordships had agreed to a conference on the subject of the County Coprts Bill, which they had ap pointed to take place immediately in the 'Oyu' Gal lery. The Hon. Gentleman and eeveral other Members then left the House. Oa their return, Mr. GREENE, as maacger, announced ti e remit of the conference, which was ordered to lie upon the table. SMITHFIELD. In reply to Mr. HEATFICOTE, Sir G. GREY said that he had stated on a former oc casion the general recommeadation contained in the re port of the Commissioners for the removal of Smithfield rnarkvt, in which recommendation the Government con eurrei. A copy of that report hal been sent by the Government to the City Remembrancer on the 24th of Jane, with a communication calling the attention of the corporation to the recomm.:mdation and to the present state of the market, and desiring to know whether the corporation of London was willing to undertake tho con struction of a new market. On that day (yes , .erday) ho had received an answer from the City Remembrancer ro that communication, which he would read with the permission of the Route. It was dated July 31, and was as follows: "Guildhall, July 31. " Sir,—ln answer to your letter of the 24th of June, I am directed by the Alisikets Improvement Committee of the corporation of London, in pursuance of an order of the Court of Common Council of the 23d of July, to state tnat your letter, and the reports accompany ing it, have been fully and maturely considered; and the notice of the corporation having been drawn by y our letter to the recommendation of five of the Commissioners for the discontinuance of the present market at Smithfield, and the establish :wilt of a now market for tae sale of cattle without the City, the corporation are advised to protest against the commission being used for the purpose of at:reefing the riN.;tEs prescriptive, ehartsred, and parliamentarily and judicially confirmed to the corporation of London, and cannot concur in the proposed removal of the market from the place where it has been held by the citiaens of London from time immemorial, under the common law and their charters, which prohibit the establishment of any other market within seven miles of the City, and which charters have been confirmed by Parliament, and lately supported by the judgment of the House of Lords, assisted by the judges. The corporation of London, therefore, feel themselves called upon to maintain those charters for the sake of the public and of their fellow citizens, and rely with confidence that no such Bill as that referred to in your letter will be proposed to Par liament. The corporation having recently prepared a comprehensive plan and model fur the purpose of meet ing toe suggestions pointed out by the reports of the several Select Committees of the House of Commons, and proposed means for effecting it, they cannot under take the task of constructing a new market without the limits of the City, for which no site, nor plan, nor esti mate is suggested; whilst the plan propo s ed by th e cor poration is ready when sanctioned by Parliament for im• mediate execution. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " E. Ti RRELL, City Ramemurancer. " George Cornewall Lewis, Esq." He received the letter that day, and be could only say that the Government still concurred in the recommenda tion fur the removal ut the market. Mc. STAFFORD—Has the Right Hon. Gentleman any objection to lay that piper on the table of the House? Sir G. GREY—None. Mr. STAFFORD—Does the Government mean to bring in n Bill this session to authorise the removal of Stnithfield-market? Sir G. GREY—Not this session. COMMI FTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION. Mr. HENLEY asked whether Sir J. K. Shuttleworth held any office at present under the Committee of Privy Council for Eiucation, and if not, whether any person was appointed to fill the office lately held by him? Sir G. GREY said that by an order in Council, dated January last, Mr. Lingon was appointed to succeed Sir J. Shuttleworth, who bad retired from the office he h. Id under the Privy Council, and now held no (Ace whatever under it. SALE OF POISONS. Mr. STAFFORD drew the attention of the Govern ment to the subject of the frequent occurrence of murder by means of poison, and asked when a Bill would be brought in to restrain the sale of poisons? Sir G. GREY said there was considerable difficulty in framing h schedule of poisons to be referred to in any Act of the kind, and it was not the intention of the Go vernment to lay a Bill on the subject on the table this session. STAMP DUTIES BILL. Mr. MULLINGS asked the Chanceller of the Ex chequer wriether it was his intention to proceed with the Stamp Duties Bill, as at present framed, during this ces sion of Parliament; and if not, whether ho will endea vour to pass the Bill in this session in a modified form, so as to repeal the duties now payable as for a bargain and sale, or lease for a year, and for livery of seisin on feoflments, and upon admissions to copyholds, con sequent on grants or surrenders made on sales and ni !I tgagos, and for removing the doubts and difficulties as to the proper stamp duty payable on transfers of mor gages, and farther charges and additional mortgage se curities ? The CHANCELLOR OF the EXCHEQUER—It both my iateutton anti my hope to pass the Bill as it stands EXTRADITION OF POLITICAL REFUGEES. Lord D. S'ICART said that ho understood that a person had been apprehended in Hug, on an application from the Government of Frankfort, upon the ground that h.) had been implicated in the murder of Prince Lich nawsky and General Auerswatd—that he had been de livered up to the Frankfurt Government, and that others had been likewise (I , :smanded, and not been given up, solely because they had escaped to America beforehand. Tne question ho wished to :3,1 was, wheter it was true tlat any foreigner had been demanded es a criminal by any of the Governments of Germany; whether they had in consequence been given up to any Government, or what answer had been given ta any such demand from any Government? Sir G. GREY said he had no information whatever with respect to the case referred to by the Noble Lord as having occurred at Hull, aid he had reason to know that no such case had ever happened. An application had been made by a foreign Government not long ago to the Foreign office, for delivering up two persons on the ground that they were implicated in the murder of Prince Lichnowaky and General Auerivvald; but as there was no treaty existing between the British and that Go vernment for the extradition of offenders, the answer that ho had returned was, that the law of this country did not authorise the extradition of such persons. Ile m'ght mention that there was no treaty between this country and any other, txcept France and America, which authorised this country giving up persons charged with crime. SEWERS. Mr. D'EYNCOURT asked for some information with respect to the statements which had been made in two petitions lately presented, on the condition of the sewers south of the Thames. Lord EBRINGTON wished the question to be post poned for the present, as the statements referred to were too well founded. The consideration of the drainage south of the Thames had occupied the Commissioners that very day, but they came to no conclusion owing to the absence of three most important members of the commission, Messrs. Mendel, Stephenson, and Peto. However, on Monday they expected tr see them in town, and if the Hon. Gentleman would postpone his question to Tuesday or Wednesday ho would be able to give him a satisfactory answer. CORONERS' DEPUTIES. ' Lord R. GROSVENOR rose to present a petition from the members of the English Homoeopathic Association and others, complaining of the conduct of the deputy coroner for Middlesex, in the ca,e of an inquest upon the body of a man named Richard David Pearce. • The cir cumstances on which the petition was founded were so notorious at the time, and were so much commented on, that it would be unnecessary fur him to enter into a statement of them on the present occasion. lie would merely state the complaint and the remedy asked for. The Hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Wakley) had appointed a deputy as coroner for Middlesex in the case of the inquest in question, which, from misdirection of the jury by the deputy coroner, resulted in a verdict of manslaughter against another man, named Pearce, the brother of the deceased, who was accordingly committed to the felons' ward in Newgate on the charge, where he remained seven days. Mr. WAKLEY interposed—the Noble Lord had been so good as to show him the petition, and the Noble Lord was sating what was not st a ted in th e p e titi on . Lord R. GROSVENOR would then state, in the words of the petition, that Mr. Pearce was committed to New gate, and when the case was brought before Mr. Justice Made, he said, speaking of Mr. Pearce, " This man seems to have acted as well as he could. How any per sou could be round to say that this person is guilty of manslaughter I cannot possibly imagine." The remedy requested by the petitioners was that the House:would pais a law in order to prevent coroners of counties appointing their cistn deputies. The petitioners con chided by stating it as their opinion that the deputy coroners should be elected in the same manner as the coroner. An HON. MEMBER moved the petition should be read. The petition was read accordingly amidst great laughter. Mr. WAKLEY subsequently addressed the House, and said he considered toe petition of a trumpery cha ric:er. He was surprised that the Noble Lord should have presented it, seeing that the Noble Lord was himself the President of the Homeepathic Society. 'The affeir alluded to had taken place last October; why, then, if there was any illegality in the course pursued by the deputy coroner had not an application been made to the courts to quash the proceedings? There was, how ever, no illegality in the case; and the object of the pe titioners, therefore, was not to dual with it, but to ad vertise their quackery. He hoped the House would set its face against that system of advertising, bcause he believed that a more audacious het of quacks never existed. The sccicty consisted of two classes—noodles and knaves. The noodles, however, formed the great majority; aal when the knaves contrived to cat:ll &owe amiable Lerd, and make him their pre sident, then they lidverti,ed it all over the world, and viceimised the isood:es. In this case the parties had the audacity to come before the House and attack a public officer in the.disoharge of his duty. They had, no doubt, a natural dread of a coroner—(Laughter)— and therefore then• sought to deter him from performing his duty. In referent!, to the charge contained in the petition, he (Mr. Wakley) had sent tho constable to the coroner's jury; and be held in his hand the statement of twelve of the jurymen that the deputy coroner had in- I vestigated the case in the most patient, able, and exem plary manner; that he had repeatedly told them that he did not think the evidence against the accused person twilit:int; and that woes he was informed by them in their own room that ten were kr a verdict of man slaughter and two against it, he expressed it at his opi nion that this verdict was not sustained by the witnesses. The Hon. Member then called the attention of the Home 1 .--•••"'-'.-..' —,..__------------"-' ,-- sel' Secretary to the mode in which criminal justic el o f the rninistered at the Old Bailey, and supported his vi me _. pwt ihrocooeuurbelmdts r necessity of a public prosecutor -by a long s tate . , 1 3 : ”p!-cting t h e practice of mock attorneys and the tn,t cieut manner i n which criminal cases 2re conducteal_', t that court.

In case of the backward wheats being thus attacked, the yield of grain is light in proportion to the severity of the attack, and the retarded growth of the grain. Where the grain has be.. come nearly ripe before the attack of rust, it will suffer little injury, but the straw will be more or less damaged. There were also complaints that the wheat had been laid in wooded and hilly districts by the late stormy and wet weather. From these circumstances, as may be supposed, holders of wheat did not press sales. Some bargains were however made in grain at the following quotations :—Wheat, 5s 9d to 63 3d; barley, 3s to 3s 3d. We did tot hear of any sale of oats. Cattle— There was a middling supply of beasts, and a pretty fair supply of sheep (815) at market to-day, and there was a good attend ante of purchasers.
