' The House of Lords sat last night for a 'Y short time (nlv. The motion of which I, a-ct SrA.l4Lxv h, d, g i ven 31°Iion the eu , ject of the Cape Colony w as postp,,,ta. n the House of Commons, entain SCOBILL took his seat for Rath. On the motion for going into Committee on the Cnstooas Dill, Mr. T. BARING moved, as an amendment, that it should be an instruction to the Committee to m ,Lee provision fi r prevelitng the admixture of chicory with coffee by the vendors o' the latter article. The. motion, which WaS supported by Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr ANSIEY, Mr. flEnuiEs, Mr. GRANTLRY BERKELKY, and M r . WANLICY, and w•.B onpo-ed by the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHIQUER. Sir JOHN TYRRELL, Sir FRANCIS BARING, Mr. BERNAL O•nonsE, Mr. Ilumn, and Mr. CAYLEY, was, on a division, negatived by a majority of 77 ; the numbers being --101 the motion, 122; against it, 199. The Bill passed through Committee, and the House re waked. 11 the motion for going into Committee on the Inha bite(l tioue Duty Bill, DisnAELt, in pursuance of notice, moved the follow ing resolutions • " That accordinr , to an estimate of the ProLble f ut , ' . 1 " • this House by produce ... the existing taxes, submitted to th at a sur p the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it appears to the extlear revenue may be expected in the present year tetimiated is • of about 2,000,000 i. That in the revenue so fronitti e texmcitided a sum exceeding 5,000,000/. derived on income to be , res p ec ting which an inquiry has been dir ec t e d nude by a Committee of this House, on the result of whose labours may depend the future renewal or modification of 'hat important impost. That iu this pro visional state of the financial arrangements of the country, it appears to this House to b • most consiAent, with a due re gard to the maintenance of public credit and the exigen cies of the public service, not to make any materil sacri fice of public inc ,, me in effecting such changes as may be deemed advisable in other branches of taxation." After a smart attack on Mr. PCSEY, the Hon. Gentleman proceeded to state that he and his friends were prepared to suppart the repeal of the window-duty. But the house•tax must be altered into one of "comdlete commutation." The timber and coffee repeals he must oppose. He would sup port a measure for enabling the British ship-builder to build in bond. The loss to the revenue would be small, for 284 0001. was estimated as the loss in the timber duty, whereas he would, for the odd 84,000/., guarantee the Go vernment against the loss, providing the building in bond was permitted. And he solemly pledged his party to sup port Government (even against their own discontented fol lowers) if this course were taken. The - CHANcELLoa of the EXCHEQUZI. said that if the reso lutions were agreed to, the repeal of the window-tax would be impossible. Mr. NEWDZGATZ supported the motion. Mr. GLADSIONZ would vote in favour of the motion, although he could have wished that Mr. DISIZAZLI bad been somewhat more explicit. Mr. LABOUCHERE regretted much the vote House had come to on Mr. Huma'a moti on . H e considered hat no advantage could b e d er i ved from bu i lding ships in bond. w hich the Mr. Humn could not see why his motion had occasioned so much uneasiness. He believed that the time had come when the income.tas mu,t become permanent, but it must be made so in accord..nce with justice. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For Mr. Disraeli's ammendment Against it Majority against Mr. Disra- —ll3 The Bill was passed through Committee. The third reading of the General Board of Health Bill occupied a considerable time, and a division took place on a loual question affecting Hastings and St. Leonards, after which the remaining business was disposed of. The Hon. Gentlemen the Member for Bucking hamshire last night brought forward the financial propositions of which be had given notice, and, as might have been expected, was left in an unequivocal minority. We can readily conceive the almost irre sistible temptation to a man of Mr. DISRAELI'S ability and eloquence aff irded by the flagrant errors of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for damaging the Ministry of which his opponent was a member. But the occasion selected was peculiarly infelicitous, and the HonouraLle Gentleman committed a erave mistake in bringing forward a motion the practical effect of which (if success ful) weuld have been to have continued for an in defiuite period one of the most obnoxious and un popular imposts —the iniquitous tax on light and air, wi'hout alteration or amelioration. This was the more unfortunate, as Mr. DISRAELI had on former occasions, and even when bringing forward his resolutions last night, declared himself to be in favour not merely of a commutation, but of an i absolute and ut qualified remission of the onerous and unwelcome burden. His speech and his motion were, however, at variance ; and while he declared that " nothing could be more injudicious, more in expedient, or impolitic than to disturb the revision, and that, therefore, so far as the revenue derived from the tax on windows was concerned, he ccnsidered it blotted out uf the Exchequer," he yet endeavoured by his motion to continue for an indefinite period, if not to perpetuate the objectionable charge. The effect of the motion was to place Sir CHARLES WOOD in a totally false position. For on - le in his life he had truth and justice at his side, for once he might have even risen in moral dignify and dropped the quibbling arguments of the Uld Bailey practitioner. Tree Beght Honourable Bdrogpt was positively beside himself at the extraordinary occurrence. He waxed jocose on the unwonted occasion, and even made some ponderous attempts at wit, not considering the for midable opponent against whom he was flinging his puny and pointless shafts, and who could at any time crush the rash assailant, or send him back whim pering to the protection of his leader. The attenuated and slender minority by which the Hon. Gentleman was supported showed that many of his own party, obtuse as they may be on ordinary occasions, perceived the pit into which their leader had fallen, the serious blunder which he had com mitted. There were few questions in which the Protectionist general could not have commanded a larger following then that which went into the lobby with him last night. A majority of 113 on any topic whatsoever, more especially on a fiscal or financial subject, must have been a novelty to the Whig Ministry. They have not frequently been in such a position since they consigned the revenue department to the tender mercies of the brother-in-law of Earl GRET, who received his appointment, not on account or his own merits or competence for the im portant duties confided to his charge, but by reason of his close connexion with the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, who insisfed on a cer tain number of seats in the Cabinet being placed at his disposal as the price of his own support and co operation. We have repeatedly stated that Sir CHARLES WOOD is the evil g-uius of the present Ministry, that he is the Nemesis goading them on to acts of the most unwise and impolitic character, by means whereof their shortcomings and backslidiogs in the cause of reform were expiated. Last night, how ever, he appeared (through the grave mistake of his op ponent) as their guardian angel aad protector—his stinted and parrial measure being looked upon as a boon of no ordinary magnitude, when compared with the unoqual and oppressive system previously in operation. In truth, the country had emphatically and une quivocally pronounced against the system, which none could venture to defend in general society. Had there even been a deficiency, in place of a handsome surplus, there should have been some change, show ing a total alteration of the principle. But S►r CHARLES WOOD can seldom make any graceful concession ; he could not do anything in a vraightforward and hand some manner. In the first edition of " THE raEctons BUDGET" he endeavoured to retain the obnoxious principle, erroneously supposing that the country would be contented by a remission of one-third. He had, however, completely miscalculated the feeling of the community, and the disgust and indignation excited by his clumsy plan produced the Ministerial crisis, which was only surmounted through the weakness of the Protectionists and not the strength of the Government. The voice of public opinion on the subject was so distinctly audible that even Sir CHARLES WooD, obstinate and perverse as he is known to be, could not continue wilfully deaf. He was obliged to yield to the pressure from without, and to make the concession so urgently de manded, but not to the extent required ; but the people were centented because the obnoxious principle was finally surrendered and could never again be re-es tablished. Had Mr. DISRAELI last night objected to the imposition of a house-tax, and proposed that the entire surplus should be devoted to the abolition of the window-tax, the result might have been very dif ferent from what it was. But as it was, he strengthened the hands of his opponents by the mis take he committed, disregarding the vulnerable part, and striking only where they were clad iu firm and impenetrable armour. Every successive election proves the deep interest the people take in the important question of the ballot. Harwich, Greenwich, and Bath have sent their representatives pledged to the support of protec tion at the polling booti.; and it is a sign of this feeling not to be misunderstood, that the enunciation of no other pledge of reform on the hustings is re ceived with the seine amount of enthusiasm as the pledge to support the ballot. At Harwich, when Mr. CRAWPORD alluded to the intimidation in that borough, and pledged himself to support the ballot as the measure of all others best calculated to render intimidation impracticable, nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which the electors received the an nouncement. At Greenwich both candidates pledged themselves to support protected voting, and the pledge Intitnidtt Was received with cheers. At Bath Capt. SCODELL was I ' l4l y cheered when he profe,,sed his determination t ." u PPgart the ballot. At Bath strong allegations of the electors, of tioo were publicly put forward. There is a gi3r: ta c t Ilkewi,,e which appeared at the election for SELL'S attention—of Lord e 3. "e`third did not pull. Let the Lord JOHN RATS Noble Where are the electors atm why? It • a question he may very well ask before he p r why do they not vote? Committee which sat in 1835 gave an extension of tho suffrage. ? who have the suffrage, and HENRY BERKELEY has ovehr4isanadd over a g ain answer is plain—the gave that answer ;—Mr. Intimidation keeps them from answer to that question in tvhocacy of the ballot. given an e are deterred from vo ti ng b y direct threaPtoll?.thers decline voting from the k now l e d ge that :heti. t S ra o d m e e s will suffer if their Dames appear on the poll. THE SUN, LONDON, book. Therefore, we say, it is not enough to extend the suffrage, the ban must be t.tken off from those already er:fr mchised, and the existing constituencies will be thus virtually extended a full third, aye, more than a full third, when we take into account, in addition to the regis tered electors who abstain from voting, those who systematically di s f ranc his e themselves in order to escape from persecution. Those Honourable Members who have been lately returned can do the good cause of protection to the Parliamentary elector no better service, nor better reward the constituents who have returned them, than by attending on Tuesday, the Bth of July, in their places in the House of Commons, and bearing their testimony to the corruption which they have witnessed in our electoral system, and in giving their votes for election by ballot as brought on that evening by the Member for Bristol. We would remind the supporters of this great measure of reform, that on the Sth of July Lord ROBERT GRosvarion has the first place, with a motion respecting attorneys' certificates, which is expected to last scarcely half-an-hour, and that consequently there exists every probability, not to say certainty, of the second notice coming on, which no tice is that of Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, for leave to bring in a BM to extend to the Parliamentary elec tors of Great Britain and Ireland, in all elections, the protectio❑ of the ballot. If all those who have pledged themselves to their constituencies are in their place, to redeem their pledges, there is every probability that the Honourable Member for Bristol will, as he did in 1848, be in a majority, in which case Lord JOAN RUSSELL may pos.ibly be convinced of the necessity of including the ballot in his forthcoming measure of reform. We regard the approaching debate on the ballot as the most important that has, perhaps, ever taken place on that question, and we warn our repre sentatives that their constituencies expect every man to do his duty, while we urge upon the constituencies the necessity of watching narrowly the conduct of their representatives, and of " putting the screw on," if need be, so as to keep every man up to the mark. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The second, and professedly the last, grand morning concert for the present season took place ye:terday. The concert began with Beethoven's splendid overture to Eg mont, remarkably well played by the band. Mademoiselle Caroline Duprez then sang the beautiful air from St. Paul, " 0 Jerusalem," with a purity of style that declared a thorough appreciation of the music. Two pieces, essentially French in character, followed—a cavatina tram Donizetti's Les Martyrs, exceedingly well sung by Madame Giuliani, and toe well• known bolero, "La chanteuse voilee," executed to perfection by Madam e igalde, to whose peculiar style of vocalization it was admirably adapted. Madame Sontag sang "On mighty pens," from Haydn's Creation, in a highly impressive manner; and the fine voice of Madame Fiorentini found ample scope for display in Mozart's aria, " Deh parlate." The most decided effect, however, produced in the first part of the concert was by Mr. Sims Reeves, who, by his energetic and spirited delivery of the air from Purcell's King Arthur, " Come, if you dare" (w th chorus), gained a well-merited encore. The unpublished pieces of Paganini formed at this, as at the last concert, one of the special points of the programme, and Signor Sivori was again the executaut. On the present occasion he repeated the " Witches' Dance," and played, for the first time, a nwrceau entitled " Mouvement - Perpetuo." The audience did ample justice to Signor Sivori by recalling him alter each performance, but the applause bestowed was solely due to the merits of the violinist. In the second part of the concert the honours fell to Madame Sontag, who sang a bolero, by Besozzi ( a composer un known to fame), and the English (or, as some will have it, Spanish) ballad of " Hume, sweet home," the latter of which, given with the sweetest expression, was unanimously re demanded. The air, " Sonde al mesta," from Jenerentola, is one of those things which Signor Calzolari sings the Mt. In the elegant florid style this vocalist is quite at home, which he fully established yesterday, by his almost faultless delivery of the air in question. The comic duet from Il Ma trimonio, " Se fiato in corpo avete," thanks to the irresistible humour of Lablache, and the spirited co-operation of his son Frederic, produced its accustomed effect, and the last move• ment was encored with acclamations. One of the great hits of the second part was the air " Roberto toi que j'aime," which Madlle. Alaymo sang with so much passion and feel ing that she was twice recalled at the conclusion, and de c•rved the more praise for resolutely declining the encore she might so reasonably' have accepted. Besides the pieces we have enumerated the band played the overtures to the Ruler of the Spirits ( Weber), and Prometheus (Beethoven). Mr. Ball, conducted the whole concert, except the compositions by Paganini, which were directed by M. Tolbecque. The house was crowded in every part. MARKET NE W S.-(THIS DAY.) _ UAT MAILIEETS.

The whole of the instruments, except one, are played by machinery, as in the common musical boxes, we believe; but the sounds emitted do not in the slightest degree resemble that of musical boxes, but imitate all kinds of instruments—flutes, clarionets, pianos, flageolets, trurn ets, &c. &c. The Symphonion is a very prettily arranged piece of mechanism, and one of its bar , els, set with a theme, with variations, from II Flauto Magico, was so pretty that it was unanimously re-demanded. The harmonicon is a stringed instrument, resembling an up right piano, ,rid played by the hand. The tones are pro duced by the friction of a cylinder on the wire strings. The effect when played is very pleasing. We advise all who really wish to enjoy a couple of hours to visit this mu sical curiusity, and we are sure they will be pleased with the music, and astonished at the complicated mechanism of the different instruments. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRlSTOL.—Yesterday a fire broke out in the premises of Messrs. Hunt and Co., oil merchants, Bristol. The fire was first discovered at about twenty minutes past five o'clock, but it spread with terrible rapidi.y, and all efforts to extinguish it proved unavailing until the whole, or nearly the whole, of the valuable stock of oil, rosin, &c., was destroyed. MR. GEORGE THOMPSON, M.P.—This gentleman is now on his passage to England, per the North America, which sailed on the 17th inst. It is said that he will resign his seat in Parliament, and become a permanent resident in the United States.—Patriot. MALICIOUS ROBBER Y AT SOTER'S STMPOSIUM.--. On Sunday evening some evil-disposed person penetrated to the " Encampment of All Nations," in the Symposium, and succeeded in cutting off and carrying away twenty-five yardi of the monster tablecloth which formed one of the attractions of Gore House, and was certainly a triumph of British manufacture. Mr. W. FARRE'N'S BENZPIT.—To-morrow the be nefit of Mr. W. Farren, the most accomplished and perfect artiste that the English stage has perhaps ever possessed, takes place at the Olympic theatre, on which occasion Miss Helen Faucit and Mr. J. W. Wallack will appear as Pau line and Claude Melnotte in th.. Lady of Lyons, and Mr. W. Farren will, for that night only, sustain his original character of Grandfather Whitehead. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Cambrien and Universal Insurance Company was held at the offices, 61, Moorgate.street, on Saturday last. It ap peal ed from the balance-sheet and report read, and unani mously adopted, that there had been received fur premiums during, he previous nine months, ending the 3 st last Decem ber, about 1,1001.; that since that time the business had in creased, and was still considerably advancing; and that no loss had occurred up to the present time. The entire pre liminary expenses scarcely exceeded 700%•, while the working expenses were only 5001. Interest at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital was agreed to, and it was anticipated that the prospects of the company would shortly warrant a higher rate being adopted. The shareholders were much pleased at this satisfactory position, and after warmly expressintt their approbation of all that had beed done, passed highly complimentary resolutions eulogistic of the chairman, directors, manager, medical officers, Ssc.

MONEY and COMI'iIERCIAL NEWS CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, comprising 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 7id., 100 Babia a 61:1. to 6id., 100 Surat at 3d. to 3id., and the remainder American. The market closed heavily with prices of all kinds in favour of buyers.—Railway Shares were in good demand at high prices. The following is a report of the state of the piece goods market as furnished by Messrs. Al‘Nair, Greenhow, and Irving : "From June, for reasons which have been frequently stated by us, bat little is expected in the way of extensive transactions, and more particularly so, when the holidays incident to Whitsuntide interrupt and interfere with the re gular course of business. This year, notwithstanding the absence of any material improvement in the demand for the country trade, which continues in a most un satisfactory state, the operations of the month—as we find upon reference—equal those of 1845, 1849, and 1850, which were periods of great activity—enable us to report them as being of considerable magnitude. During the early portion of the month, the market continued in a dull and lifeless condition when, from an improvement in the demand for and value oi cotton, and the influence attaching to the material reduction in the prices of the manufactured articles, an active demand for twist and cloth ensued, which resulted in enabling spinners and manufac turers to realise the advance previously particularised. and in placing many of them under contract for some time to come. Both goods and yarns are now, with only few exceptions, exceedingly light; and though during the last few days the market has been much less animated, pricesare so far sustained with firmness. With the completion of existing contracts, we cannot see, however, how the recent advance in prices is to be maintained, nor how a decline from those ruling a month ago is to be prevented, looking to the present and prospective position and value of Cotton, and the recent unfavourable accounts from India arid China." The Banker's Magazine for the present month, sums up the state of the Corn trade, as follows : " Some rather important changes have taken place in the Corn trade during the last month. In the first place, there has been a material rise (in some cases as much as 3s. or 4s. per quarter) in the price of grain ; and, in the second place, there has been a falling off in the foreign supply. Our own farmers continue to bring forward their produce with great caution. The rise in price seems to be quite justified by the facts. It is not supposed that stocks are very heavy ; the consumption is large, the harvest will be rather tate, and the weather is nut quite of that character which removes all fear of accident to the crops. During the month it is probable that the prospects of a good harvest h4ve very much im proved. We have had less of the wet and cold weather which prevailed in April and May; and there have been many days of positive heat and brilliancy. Nothing, certainly, has yet occurred, either in the United Kingdom, or perhaps in any country of Europe, to excite serious apprehensions as to the result of the harvest of 1851." The new Sardinian loan for three millions sterling is payable in the following manner: -20 per cent. on allotment, 10 per cent. on July 21, 10 per cent. on August 21, 10 per cent. on September 20, 10 per cent., on Oct. 21; 10 per cent. on Nov. 21; 15 per cent on Dec. 1. The applications Iva be receivable until Saturday next. The interest is to commence from the let of June, 1851, and will be payable either in London, Turin, or Genoa. The ostensible object is to form railways; but no doubt the real cause is the strain upon the revenue during the last war. Hitherto Sardinia has ob tamed her loans in Paris, but the plethora in the London Money Market offers temptation. What precise influence the loan will have here, remains to be seen, but the terms being favourable, 85 for a Five per Cent. Stock, there is reason to believe that it will be readily taken up. It is probable that about a million of the loan or more will be absorbed abroad, athough the lean comes out in London, and further, we, con sider that the recent h eav y shipments of silve r t o th e Conti nent have been partly in anticipation of this loan. If such be the case, the loan will be very partial in its effect. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 29th ult., was very animated for Spanish Five per Cents. The English Funds have been flatter, owing to the loan. Consols have been 96X to 97% for the opening. The present rates are 963 in 97. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 98% to %; and the Three per Cents. 97% %. Bank Stuck is at 214. Exche quer-bills are firm at 455. to 48s. p emium. The Foreign Securities have been flat. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 21%, and the Passive ei. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 33 1 A, to 34 1 . There is much anxiety to ascertain whether the terms for a compro mise of the Spanish Debt will be agreed to next Thursday. Dutch Four I,er Cents. have been 91 1 / , X. Railway Shares have been all lower on account of the de cline in Censuls, but there is not much doing. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols Shot.

This case was again before the Court this morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in Guildhall, before the LOAD OGEE JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) CHEATING AT CARDS. A person, described as a resident at Folkestone, named Thomas Brown, was indicted for the offence of cheating at cards. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, with whom was Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Chambers, with whom was Mr. Keene, for the defence. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS opened the case to the jury, stating that the offence was committed at the last Licensed Victual lent' ball, held in January last, at the London Tavern, and then proceeded to call the following evidence:— Mr. Robert Whitehead was the first witness called. He deposed as follows : I live in Whitecross-street, and am by business a licensed victualler, keeping the Rum Puncheon Tavern. On Thursday, the '23d of last January, the licensed victuallers had a ball at the London Tavern. It was a ball for the charity, and parties were admitted by tickets. I was at that ball. The company consisted chiefly of licensed victuallers, but strangers might come if they chose on purchasing tickets. and some strangers were pre. sent. After dancing had been continued some time a game at whist was proposed, and I and others retired for the purpose. I played a game or two and then left the room, but shortly afterwards returned, when I found Brown and some strangers playing at 100 with Mr. Young. The names of the gentle men playing at the table were Ireland, Young, Pitt, and Butterfield. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Fowler were there, but not playing. Two other gentlemen named Compton and Alfred Brown were there, but not playing. The 100 might bare continued four or five hours. The game commenced with eighteenpenny 100 limited to half•a-guinea. I noticed the defendant in the course of the game. I played in the game for three hours, and I observed that during that time the defendant and his friends were the winners. I got looed, and there was a little altercation arising out of my not head ing the trick. Mr. Brown on that occasion won the first trick, but I and Mr. Compton finding that we had tricks in our hands determined to throw up our cards. I observed nothing more about the conduct of the defendant but that he kept winning. I remained in the room and saw the d e . fendant put a c , .rd behind the collar of his coat. The cards were dealt round by one of the gentlemen playing, and clubs were trumps. I saw the de fendat,t put his hand under his coat collar and draw out the ace of clubs. Upon seeing that I seized his hand with the card in it, and showed it to the gentlemen playing, observ ing, " This is how you lose your money : you are playing with a blackleg." I had previously taken the card out of his hand. The persons playing at that time were Mr. Bey nett, Mr. Young, Mr Ireland, the defendant, and two other persons. Upon my making the remark the defendant said I was wrong, but there was a good deal of confusion, and some of the gentlemen seized the money on the table. About ten minutes afterwards I went to a policeman, but in the meanwhile the defendant attempted to take up his own money, and in doing so the king of hearts fell from beneath the sleeve of his coat. I was a loser of between three and four pounds, but I cannot exactly say in what denomination the money was. It WAS gold and silVer- Cross-examined—l got change for my gold when I re quired it. When it was a single deal we put into a common pool, and all were bound to play. Those who had no trick were bound to pay a forfeit to the pool. I began to play about twelyo o'clock. Besides the entertainment of wads and dancing, there was that of drinking wine and brandy and water. It was two or three minutes after I bad done playing that I discovered the defendant cheating. It might have been live o'clock when the' row took place. When I threw up the cards, Mr. Compton won the trick; but as we had both committed a fault, we were looed according to the rules of the game, or rathersompelled to play the hand over again The result was that I got two tricks, and won all the pool bat my 100. I was one of the committee, and had occasion to go in and out of the room. Mr. James Young sworn and examined—l am a licensed victualler, residing in Westminster. I was at the ball, and went into the card-room about ten o'clock, where I played at whist. I saw the defendant come in about half an hour after. There were two other persons with him. The defendant rested himself by the side of the table while we were playing, and afterwards proposed a game at 100. That proposal was accepted, and he played eighteenpenny 100 at first, limited to half-a-guinea. During the last half hour of the game the defendant proposed that the limit should be in creased to a guinea, and ths stake changed to three shillings. I noticed that he won more frequently than anybody else, perhaps in the ratio of twice to anybody else once. I recollect the last band that was played, I dealt the cards; there were five of us playing, including the defendant and two stran gers. The card I turned up was a club. I dealt three cards to the defendant I saw Mr. Whitehead take a card from the defendant's coat collar. The defendant had just put his hand up to take it as Mr.:Whitehead draw it out the reverse way. I saw the king of hearts fall from Brown's sleeve, and be attempted to shuffle it with the pack. Cross-examined - I played, I should say, five hours. I was sitting down all the time, and did not cease to play. Brown was occasionally looed. The two strangers and other persons occasionally won and lost. I recollect the disputed when Whitehead would not head the trick. Brown was active in calling Whitehead to order, and insisting upon his playing again. Brown complained that Whitehead was playing Compton's hand. We were all sober, though we had been drinking throughout the night. Ireland won. Two or three lost considerably who are not here Mr. Pitt, a hair dresser, of to estminster, lost 71. Mr. Comp on, of Chelsea, lost 101. A relation of Mr. Pitt's lost 41 or 5/. I should say about 70/. or 80/. was lost in the whole, but I cannot say positively. Re-examined—Mr. Brown and the two strangers won the principal part of the money. Mr Brown conversed with the two strangers as if they were his friends. Mr John Bennett sworn and examined- I am a publican, and live at the Upper Archway Cottage, Upper Holloway. I was at the ball, and saw the defendant and the two strangers playing at 100 with the others, including young Compton and Pitt. I was one of the committee, and in con sequence of something I bad heard I watched the defendant while he was playing. After watching him for ten minutes or so, I observed him place cards behind his poll at the back of his coat, and when he payed trumps be took the card from his back. I could not see what he did with the third card dealt to him. When he took the card from under his coat collar I observed him do this repeat dly, and recollect distinctly seeing him draw out the ace of spades and win a trick with it. Whitehead was playing at this time, and in the second play of that deal there was some dispute about not heading the trick. I afterwards saw Whitehead go round to the defendant and take a card out of his hand. It was the ace of clubs, and the defendant's hand was up at his collar. Whitehead held up the card and said, " Gentlemen, you are playing with blacklegs." Brown was afterwards given into custody. Mr. B. F. Fowler, the late landlord of the Falcon at Bethnal-green, sworn and examined— I was at the ball, but I did not play. I looked on occasionally and noticed that in the majority of cases where there was a 100 the money passed to the defendant's side of the table. I was at the table when the card was detected behind his collar. Cross-examined—Mr. Ireland won largely, but I do nol know the amount. Mr. Butterfield, another publican, who like all the pre ceding witnesses, has retired from business since the ball, stated that he played at the 100-table and lost bl. in two or three hours. The defendant was the principal winner. Wit• ness was told something about the defendant, and he retired from the room in disgust, but afterwards he came in and saw the card taken from the defendant's collar. Witness was a tolerably good player, but he had been in the habit of play ing with tradesmen and gentlemen. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CHAMBERS wished to know what counts the prosecu tion intended to rely upon, the statutory or the common law counts ? Mr. CLAAKSDN said they relied upon all. Mr. CHAMBEKS, under these circumstances, contended that there was no case to go to the jury on the statutory counts of the indictment, inasmuch as the evidence failed to trace to the possession of the defendant any precise or particular coin which it was alleged he had won from the prosecutors by cheating with the cards. There was no proof that he had won money from any of the defendants in particular by means of cheating, because the evidence failed to show any one instance where he had obtained the pool through the in strumentality of the alleged secreted cards. One of the counts charged the particular coin was upon the de fendant, but as the coin was not marked before it was put into the pool, there was no evidence to show that it was the property of the prosecutor named in the count. Mr. CLARKSON insisted that there was ample evidence to go to the jury. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE held that there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury In all the counts. Mr. M. CHAMBERS then addressed the jury for the defence, saying that no case had been made out to justify them in finding the defendant guilty of this serious offence. Lord CAMPBELL summed up, and The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty on all the counts in the indictment. Lord Ctairmsr.r. then said he entirely concurred in the verdict, and should sentence the defendant to two years' im prisonment, with bard lAbour, in the House of Correction for the county of Middlesex; and at the expiration of that time he should enter into two recognizances for his good behaviour in 50/. each. EXCHEQUER.—(THIs DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before th e L ORD CHIEF BARON, and Barons ALDERSON, PLATT, and MARTIN.) JAQUES V. WHITE, The Loaf) Cuter BAuorr, in delivering judgment in this case, said it was an action instituted by the plaintiff to re cover the sum of 4Q/. 145., which had been paid in the shape of costs for investigating the title to certain property. At the trial a verdict was found for the defendant, but on appli cation, by leave of Mr. Baron Martin, who tried the case, was subsequently made to enter the verdict for the plaintiff, the plaintiff having paid the mi.ney, and it being perfectly clear that if the title were a bad one, he had a right to re cover back the money. The only real question which arose out of the action was whether the defendant had succeeded in making out a good title. Now all the title the defendant app ared to be possessed of was ex parte materna, the weakest of all titles. It was true the jury found there were no heirs ex parte materna, but the issue was tried between two par ties who had an interest in keeping from the view of the jury any heirs ex parte paterna. It also appeared that the last person seised had made a declaration that he had no heirs on his father's side ; but that was a ♦ery ambiguous expres sion, which might either mean that there were no heirs on the father's side, or only that there were no heirs on that side of the same name or with whom he was acquainted. A question then arose as to whether this title was such as ought to justify the plaintiff in concluding the purchase, and if not whether the defendant ought not to pay the expenses of th• Fvestigation. The Court thought not only that the plaintiff was entitled to recover, but gave this distinct rea son for entertaining that opinion—Teat the meaning of a good and a sufficient title meant such a title as the Court of Chancery would deem a sufficient ground for compelling a specific performance. The Court considered, therefore, that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the 481. 14s. Mr. Baron MARTIN said he thought it right to intimate that he did not concur in the above judgment. The de fendant had eiven ample proof of a sufficient and good title, and he would say further, that the question did not depend on what a court of equity would do, but whether or not the party had a good title in point of fact. The rule was then made absolute. MIDDL ES ic.X SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE.) • The July Sessions were commenced this morning, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant-Judge. The calendar is very light, there being but fifty prisoners for trial. John Smith, convicted of picking pockets at the last ses sions, from which sentence was deferred, for the purpose of inquiring into his character, was proved to have been con victed summarily by a magistrate for a similar offence in Prbrutry last, and had nndergone his sentence of three months' imprisonment. He was discharged from prison only a few days previous to the commission of the last offence, for which he was now sentenced to nine months' imprison m nt and bard labour. - Riches, a young man who was convicted at the last sessions for stealing a box containing property from the Eastern Counties Railway, was also brought up for judg ment. A previous conviction was proved against him, and he was sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment and hard labour, John Judge was indicted for stealing a sovereign, the money of Caroline Simmonds. The prosecutrix, lady's maid in a family in Old Quebec street, stated that, some days ago, she made a purchase of some strawberries from the prisoner, who was hawking the fruit opposite her mistress's house. She offered him a sove reign to change, but he not having the necessary silver, pro posed to go for it, and leave his basket in the passage till his return. She trusted him with the sovereign, but he never retirned, and she made her loss known to a policeman, who finding Judge in the neighbourhood immediately afterwards, and seeing that his name was painted on the basket, took him into custody. In cross-examinatien the prosecutrix admitted that she was not quite certain of the prisoner's identity ; and it further appeared that he was known to the police to keep a shop in Orchard-street, Westminster, doing a good business, and that he bad, before he was taken, reported at the station -house that he had been robbed of a basket containing strawber ries of the value of two sovereigns. The JUDGE suggested that it must ae a r to the jury very unsafe to convict the prisoner under such circumstancrs. The jury immediately Acquitted him. MARLBRO'-STREE r__.(T HIS DAY.) -- - - ROBBERY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.— TVilliant Shinneld, a workman employ e d at the Exhi bi t i o n, was brought befor e Mr. Long, charg e d property of Messrs.

The prisoner then to ok from his coat p ocket a bout two pounds of white lead. W itness asked him where he got it from ? told The priso • ner said he had picked it up inside of the build ing. Witness said, no, that cannot be, for I watched you from the roof of the building. He then took the prisoner to the station, and on searching him there, found upon him a bottle containing about a pintoflinseed oil, which the prisoner accounted for by saying it was a peculiar kind of oil, and he had brought it to show some of the men. The prisoner after wards said it was the first mess he ever was in, and woul take care it was the last. The prisoner, i❑ defence, said he found the articles close by the Exhibition. - Mr. LONG was of opinion that the prisoner had come dis honestly by the property, and committed him for 14 days for unlawful possession.
