On the motion for going into committee on this bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government had, considering the late period of the session, and the num erous po i nts of detail included in the bill , which could be better settled during the recess by communications between the Government and the parties interested, wished to postpone it. The two chief points of the bill were giving a Government guaran tee and an effective control over the accounts of receipt and payment of money. Two other points of great importance were the rate of interest and the responsi bility to be imposed upon the trustees in regard to the accounts. There was no question between the Govern mept and the trustees, but between the trustees and the depositors ; for it was obvious that the Government would not undertake responsibility for deposits which were not accounted for in the lists sent in to the Go vernment by the trustees • and the ques ti on was, whether or not the trustees should be responsible for all deposits not included, whether from neglect or fraud, in the lists sent in to the Government. With regard to the rate of interest, that was a question which could very properly be considered in that house. There were, however, a number of sm a ll er po i n t s w hi ch would take up much time in discussion, but with regard to which the Government would be able to save much time to the house by communicating with the parties in the country. For these reasons, therefore, he should move that the bill be committed this day three months. Mr. H. HERBERT hoped the Government would introduce the bill at an early period of the next session. Sir B. HALL trusted that some provision would be introduced into the bill to regulate the expenses of the management of these banks. The hon. baronet quoted the case of a savings bank in the metropolis, which cost 2,2801. a-year, and in which the trustees had expended the sum of 6,0001. on the repairs of a house for the spe cial benefit of the managers. The result of this was that, out of the 31. ss. per cent, allowed by Government as interest, the depositors of 301. had 11. ss. taken front them for expenses, while those of 101. and upwards had 7s. 7id. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that there was a per fectly good answer to the case cited by the hon. baronet when the proper time arrived. If this biil were carried, he could assure the Government that the trustees of many banks would immediately resign. After a short co nversa ti on, in which Mr. Napier, Mr. J. Young, Mr. Maguire, Mr. Barron, and Sir J. Shelley took part, the bill was ordered to be committed this day three months. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, at clause 74, which was omitted, The remaining clauses of the bill were agreed to, as were also several additional clauses, and the house re su med. TENANTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL The house then went into committee upon this bill, On clause 1, Mr. Serjeant SHEE moved to insert in page 2, after lice 38, " the words ' waste land' shall include all lands which, in their existing condition, are unfit for or cannot be profitably used for the purposes of agriculture or pas ture, but are capable of being improved for those pur poses ; the word reelaizuing' shall include the use of all means necessary and suitable for improving such lands, and rendering them beneficially applicable to the aforesaid purposes." Mr. NAPIER suggested that the amendment should be deferred until a subsequent clause was reached. The amendment was thee negatived without a di vision. The clause was then agreed to, as was also clause 2 On clause 3, Colonel DUNNE said the effect of the clause would be to enable the tenant to force any improvements upon the landlord. The o n l y check upon him were the inde finite words " suitable im provements," and he pro posed to insert after the word " holding" these words, and shall increase the holding by at least seven per cent. on the proposed outlay." Sir J. YOUNG objected to the amendment, on the ground that there was a sufficient protection iven in impr b ovement the ill to the s te nant in r landlord agai nst the e g s ect to . p The amendment was negatived without a division Mr. V. SCULLY moved to add at the end of page or The reclaiming or durable improvement of waste or mountain land or of bog ground, by converting the same into arable or pasture or improved pasture land ; and the reclaiming or durable improvement of any l and by clearing away rocks or stones, or by embanking fro the sea or tidal waters, or fr o m lakes or r i vers. " i Sir J. YOUNG thought it would be better to adhere to the words approved of by the select committee. After a short discussion the amendment was with drawn. lir.Serjeant SHEE moved the insertion in line 6 of the words, "the main or thorough drainage of land, or the improvement of it by irrigation." The committee divided, when the amendment was re. jected by a majority of 43 ; the numbers being 39 and 82. The clause was then agreed to, with some verbal amendments. Clause 4 was also agreed to after a short discussion. Clause 5 was agreed to. On clause 6 being proposed, Mr. Sergeant ISHEE moved, 'as an amendment, the insertion of words to the effect that if the landlord exe cuted 'the improvements, his charge upon the tenant should be restricted to the estimate of the tenant. After some discussion the house divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against it .......... Majority ................. —5O The committee ag a i n divided upon .... . . ............ of Sergeant Shee, limiting any allegation of fraud by the landlord against the tenant to the lifetime of the latter. The numbers were— For the amendment. . ............... 30 Against it ................................... 74 Maj0rity.............................. —44 The house then adjourned u n til 6 o ' clock. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was RAM /1127111g,j 39 89 WEST CORNWALL ELECTION,—The election for this division of the county took place at Truro on Tuesday morning. On the nomination of J. D. Gilbert, Esq., seconded by W. M. Tweedy, Esq., Michael Williams, Esq., of Trewince, was unanimously elected to represent this division in Parliament. MONEY•ORDER OFFICE.—The profit on the Money order Office for the year ended the sth January, was 12,7201., from which was to be deducted 1,0591. loss in Ireland, leaving the profit 11,6641. , AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL COMPANY.—At the ad journed meeting of this company held yesterday, the accounts were presented and referred to the committee of investigation, it being understood that when their report is ready the whole question of management will be brought under consideration. The sole point of inte rest touched upon were the return of the Melbourne, and the advices from St. Vincent of the arrival of the Victoria. It appears by the profit and loss account, that the ordinary expenditure to the 30th of June last was 12,3381., while the receipts were only 4,9871., leaving a balance of 7,3511., which added to the sum disbursed for a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum in December last, namely, 5,6731., makes 13,014/. to be carried against the general account of the company. SERIOUS EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD.—OXFORD, JULY 19.—The valley of the Cherwell, and also of the Isis, has been much flooded during the last few days, to the very serious injury of the farmers occupying the mea dows adjoining. Yesterday and Sunday the rain fell in Oxford and the adjacent neighbourhood in exceedingly heavy showers, very considerably adding to the floods already on th ese l ow -l y i ng di str i cts. O the banks of the Cherwell hundreds of tons of hay have been swept away by the sudden swelling of the water. In the hn mediate neighbourhood of this city great damage has been done. One farmer, Mr. Greaves, of El s fi e ld, h as lost the w h o l e o f the produce of 14 acres of land ; while Mr. Saund ers , o f Water. Eaton, Mr. Chillingworth, of Marston, and others, of Water Eaton, have suffered considerable loss. King's Weir, on the Cherwell, and within half a mile of Oxford, was on Sunday and yes terday completely blocked up with an immense quan tity of newly-cut hay, the growth of several meadows between that weir and the village of Islip, so much so that Cox, the occupier of the weir, thought it worth his while to employ something like a dozen hands to get it out of the water. The blockade of the stream in the rear of the weir was so complete, that per sons could walk, without the slightest difficulty, on the ,top of it, right across the stream ; the embankment thus formed being, from the bottom of the river to the top, upwards of 8 feet. The quantity that Cox has already secured is something like 30 tons ; independ ently of this, an immense quantity has been washed over the banks of the Cherwell, and gone in ether directions. We regret to say that the hay is not the only produce of the farmer that has suffered injury in this locality by the late heavy rains. The wheat, barley, and oat crops have been so knocked down that it is doubtful if they will again be able to stand erect. The potato disease has also unmistakeably made its appearance. The large tract of land belonging to the freemen of Oxford, known as Port Meadow, and which at this season of the year is generally stocked with something like 600 head of cattle, is virtually covered with water. The reports from the various villages in this and the adjoining county of Berks, through or near which brooks flow, are lar ; the meadows and fields are inundated, and the hay is swlmming away. The weather to-day is delightful ; no rain has fallen hero since 9 o'clock last evening, and, consequently, the floods are rapidly subsiding. THE LATE LIEUTENANT WARREN.—We (Port of Spain Gazette) regret to announce the death of Lieut. Charles Warren, R.N., late Admiralty Agent on board the Royal Mail Company's steamer Derwent. This melan choly event occurred at Saint Thomas, whither the lamented deceased was compelled to be conveyed to sick quarters on the arrival there of the Der went. While at Saint Thomas he partially re covered ; but about the 15th or 16th instant he was seized with all the symptoms of yellow fever, preceded by a chilly sensation, and on the 17th , he breathed his last, to the deep regret of his brother officers, by whom he was much and deservedly beloved. And here it is pleasing to record the handsome manner in which the Danish Government behaved on the melan choly occasion. His Excellency the Governor, on learn ing the sad intelligence, immediately dispatched his aide-de-camp, together with the commandant of the fort and a large body of soldiers with muffl e d d rums , to ass i st at the funeral obsequies, while minute guns were fired from the fort. The burial service was performed in a most solemn and impressive manner by the Rev. Mr. Knox, of the Dutch reformed church. At the conclusion of the ceremony the military fired three rounds of blank car tridges over the grave. The remains of the 'deceased gal lant officer it is needl ess t o say, had been attended to the grave by his brother officers, with the crews of the mail boats. Lieut. Warren was a married man : he died at the age of thirty-five years. His place has been supplied by a brother officer, Lieut. Neweham, R.N., and for merly of the R.M.C. steamer Eagle. The funeral was arranged by the particular friend of the deceased, Lieut. Ponsonby. ARREST OF A RAILWAY TRAIN.—One of the most ex traordinary methods of executing the powers of the law, probably ever heard of, was put in operation on Tuesday the sth inst., at the Newfoundwell Station of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway. It appears that the collec tor of county cess, Mr. Simpson, bad made repeated appli cationsfor the pay men t o f t h e county cess due on the lands and premises held by the company, but could not succeed in obtaining payment. Accordingly, being bound to lodge the amount of his warrant on the first day of the assizes, unless he could show that any part of it was irrecoverable, and that he had used every necessary exertion to recover it; Mr. Simpson, on Tuesday, attended by a body of his as sistants, met a train at the Newfoundwell station, and. then and the re p ro d uc i ng h i s warrant, he took' pos session of the train and all it contained. There were six grand jurors travelling by it to attend the Dundalk assizes, which were to open at 10 o'clock, and in ordi nary course they would have been barely in time to be sworn in. Remonstarces with the collector were all in vain • the county cess he must have, and the train was not allowed to move a peg until his demand was satis fied. Then the lost time had to be pulled up by increased speed, and the released engine again snorted along the line which had been just freed from the payment of county cess until the next assizes.—Louth Advertiser. Too CLOSE REPORTING.—Verbatim reporting, which is now the pride of so many provincial journals, leads to the publication of a good deal of twaddle. Thus, a Sheffield paper in its number of Saturday, gives us draughts of small beer after this quality —apropos of the meeting of a gas company.

The polling for the northern division of the county of Derby was opened at Blakew„ell on Tuesday morning last, and a very spirited contest was carried on during thoday. The following are the total numbers at the olose of the first day's polling : Thornhill . Evans 1,138 Majority, Thornhill —so9 The polling was to be continued the following day (Wednesday), and the official declaration given at Bake well on Saturday next. Owing to the number of votes polled for Mr. Thorn hill, Mr. Evans sent the following note to Mr. Thorn hill's committee : " Committee-room, July 19, 1853. "Gentlemen, —I have at length received returns from the polling-places, and, as I find a majority against me amounting to about 480, I beg to inform you that I do not intend to go to the poll to-morrow.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " Mr. Thornhill's Committee." "T. W. EVANS. Intimation was speedily conveyed to the different polling stations. The deputy sheriffs were instructed to keep the polling-booths open for an hour on Wednesday morning•, as a matter of form. This instruction having been complied with, the poll-books were closed, and the election terminated in the return of Mr. Thornhill. DISTURBANCES AT GLOSSOP.—On Tuesday morning a serious disturbance broke out at Glossop. Several per sons were severely beaten, but fortunately no loss of life occurred. Several carriages, containing voters for Mr. Evans, were stopped by the mob, and then broken, and the windows of the Norfolk Arms and Albion Inns wero also broken. The riotous proceedings commenced at 9 o'clock, by some of the factory hands of Mr. Sum ner, who were out of employment, and those of Mr. Wood, who ceased work at breakfast time. A telegra phic dispatch was sent to Manchester for a reinforce ment of police, which could not be obtained, and the magistrates had to swear in special constables. They were not, however, called upon to act, as the place had become quiet, and continued so up to yesterday morn ing. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1853. lIEALTH OF LO. WO THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) It is satisfactory to notice a further decrease in the mortality of London. In the week that ended last Sa turday the deaths registered were 904 ; in the preceding week they were 925 ; within the last six weeks the weekly number has been reduced by a hundred. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1843- . 52 the average number was 1,004, which, raised in pro portion to increase of population, becomes 1,104. Hence it appears that the actual number of deaths in last week is less than the estimated amount by 200. Fatal cases produced by zymotic or epidemic diseases, and registered last week, are in the aggregate 225 ; the average number in ten corresponding weeks, after cor rection for increase of populatio n , i s 337. This average, however, is swelled by the cholera of 1849, and makes the comparison more favourable for last week than is founded on the results of ordinary years. One disease in this class exhibits a considerable increase in the pre sent return, namely, diarrhoea, which amounts to 54. Including dysentery, the numbers in the last three weeks have been 34, 39, 54. Small-pox was fatal to two chil dren, measles to 26, scarlatina to 26 and 1 adult, hoop ing-cough to 37, croup 8, thrush 4, influenza 1, purpura to 2 persons, typhus and other fever 51, erysipelas 7, syphilis 3 ; and the following three cases of cholera were registered in the week : In the sub-district; St. Paul's, Deptford, at 7, Albert street, on 14th July, the son of a miller, aged 6 months, died of "cholera infantum (22 hours)." In Islington, at 11, Everilda-street, on 7th July, the son of a bookkeeper, aged 7 months, " cholera (4 days), secondary fever." At 4, Sugar-loaf-court, Whitechapel, on 11th July, the wife of an engineer, aged 42 years, died of "English cholera (2 days)." Six deaths occurred in the week in the London Fever Hospital ; the following are the particulars of these : On 10th July, a tailoress, from 37, Hart-street, Strand, aged 37 years, "typhus (13 days) ; in hospital 9 days. On 11th July, a female servant, from Cannon-stmet, St. George-in-the-East, aged 19 years, " typhoid fever (43 days), plebitis (14 days) ;in hospital 38 days." On 12th July, a needlewoman, from 37, Hart-street, Strand, aged 38 years, "typhus (10 days) ; in hospital 6 days." On 13th July, a charwoman, from York-street, Mary lebone, aged 31 years, "typhus (du ra ti on un k nown ) ; in hospital 6 days." n 13th July, a sergeant in the City police, aged 36 years, "typhus (10 days) ; in hos pital 3 days." On 16th July, a child, aged 3 years, from IVluswell-hill, " scarlatina (duration unknown) ; in hospital 30 days." In Bermondsey, at 1, Printer's-place, on 11th July, the son of a baker, aged one year, died of " rubeola, livid (3 days), pneumonia (4 days)." The medical at tendant of this case adds on his certificate :—" This is the second child of the same family within six weeks ; there is always a most abominable stench in this house arising from a drain." In Roxton Old Town, at 9, Avebury-street, on 12th July, the son of an engineer, aged 5 years, died of "diarrhoea." Mr. Pearce, the registrar, was told by informant of the death that offensive smells had existed in this house for some time past, caused by imperfect drainage, but that the defect had been remedied. The following additional cases are selected from the returns :—At 19, Huntworth-mews, Dorset-square, on 13th July, a porter, 44 years, died of "traumatic teta nus from having run a splinter under the nail of his middle finger while washing a cart on sth July (4 days.)." On the 27th June, in a sewer, Holywell street, St. Clement Danes, an excavator, 36 years, was " was accidentally suffocated by earth falling on him." At 1, Cleveland-street, St. Pancras, on 11th July. a painter, aged 56 years, died of " chronic inflam mation of the stomach and liver, and hypertrophy of the heart (10 months) ; repeated attacks of colica pictonum (several years)." In St. George's Hospital, on Bth July, a carman, 26 years, "abscess in the cell u l ar ti ssue o f great toe (3 weeks), pyinmia (2 weeks), secondary depo sits in lungs, kidneys, &c."—Post mort.

Three males and three females of psoas abscess. Two men of cirrhosis. One death is attri buted to intemperance, besides another in which suicide was committed in a state of mind produced by the same habit. Last week the births of 716 boys and 651 girls, in all 1,367 children, were reg i s t ere d i n L on d on. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52, the average number was 1,289. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.598 in. The read ing of the barometer increased from 29 81 in. at the be ginning of the week to 29.90 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 12th ; decreased to 29.16 in. by noon on the 14th ; and increased to 29 . 49 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 58 . 7 deg., which was 3 . 3 deg. lower than the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the ave rage on every day of the week except Monday and Tues day; it was more than 6 deg. below the average on the last three days. The highest temperature occurred on Tuesday, and was 75 . 3 deg.; the lowest on Monday, and was 50 . 4 deg. The greatest difference between the dew point temperature and air temperature was 16'7 de-r ' ., and occurred on Tuesday ; th e l eas t, 2.3 d eg ., on Wed nesday ; the mean difference in the week was 8 . 6 deg. The wind blew from the south-west. The week has been remarkable for rain ; the quantity measured in inches that full on Wednesday was 10, on Thursday 2 . 63, on Friday '23, on Saturday 'l3; the total amount of the week 3.14.

(CROWN SIDE.— (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) A MARRIED WOMAN CHARGED WITH INFANTICIDE. Elizabeth Robinson, 28, was indicted for the wilfu: murder of her female unbaptized child. Mr. Johnson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr, Woollett and Mr. Munster were counsel for the pri. soner. The circumstances of this case were rather peculiar. It appeared that the prisoner was a married woman, and living with her husband in a cottage at Burdham, a few miles from Chichester. For some time before the 24th of March she appeared very ill, and the neighbours supposed that she was in the family way, and to one or two of them she admitted it was the fact. After the day mentioned the appearance of the prisoner was ob served to be a good deal altered, and a suspicion pre vailed that she had been delivered, and it appeared that on the 3d of April a woman named Saunders was in the prisoner's cottage, and she asked the prisoner's hus band, in her presence, what the report was about his wife, and he replied that they accused her of having a child, and making off with it, but he said it was not true, she had not had any child. It would appear that after this time the rumours upon the subject continued, and at length the parish authorities felt it to be their duty to interfere, and at their request a medical gentle man named Jones was sent to the prisoner's cottage to make the necessary inquiries, and after informing the prisoner what was the object of his visit he in quired whether she had had a child, and told her at the same time that there had been a report that she had had one, and that it had been made away with. The prisoner upon this said she was very glad he had come, as it would be the means of clearing her character, and she then declared that she had not had a child. She told the doctor that she had been ill, and intimated that she had miscarried, and said that her husband had buried it in the garden. He made further inquiries, and from other facts Mr. Jones came to the conclusion that the prisoner had been delivered of a child, and he pressed her upon the point, and she at length said, " God forgive me ! I have had a child." And she then said that if Mr. Jones would do what he could for her she would tell him all about it. The prisoner then went in the cellar and removed some bricks, and produced from under them the dead body of a female child, which Mr. Jones examined. He found the mark of a ligature round the neck, which had been tied very tightly ; and from this and other facts in the case, he came to the con clusion that the child had breathed, and that its death was the result of strangulation. Upon being cross examined, however, Mr. Jones admitted that in some cases, and especially in those where a woman was de livered without any assistance, it frequently happened that strangulation took place accidentally. The story told by the prisoner herself was, that in consequence of her falling over a washing tub, labour had been suddenly brought on. and that she became insensible, and when she came to herself she found the child lying by her side dead. She likewise said that her husband had behaved very ill to her, and that he h a d d ec l are d t h e ch i ld was not his, and therefore ho should not employ any one to assist her in her delivery. The Lord Chief Baron expressed an opinion at the close of the case for the prosecution, that after the medical evidence, the charge of murder could not be maintained, and the only question for the jury would be whether the prisoner was guilty of the offence of con cealing the birth of the child by secretly burying the dead body. Mr. Woollett said he should not attempt to struggle against a conviction for concealing the birth, the jury con sequently returned a verdict by which they convicted the prisoner of that offence. Mr. Woollett urged on behalf of the prisoner that there were good grounds for supposing that she had re ceived very bad usage at the hands of husband. It was also clear that he must have been aware of the birth of the child, and it was very possible that to a certain extent what the prisoner had done was under his co ercion. The Lord Chief Baron, in passing sentence, said he believed this was the only case within his experience in which a married woman had been convicted of an offence of this description, and taking into consideration that she had been already four months in prison, and the conduct of the husband in the transaction, he felt himself justified in passing a lenient sentence, which was that she should he further imprisoned for one week. CHARGE OF MURDER. Sarah Smith, 43, was indicted for the wilful murder of Stephen Smith. Mr. Horne and Mr. Attree conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Hurst defended the prisoner. It appeared that the deceased was a shoemaker, and the prisoner was his wife, and they occupied a small room in a place called Harrow's Mews, St. Leonard's. The evidence went to show that they were both given to drink, and that they frequently quarrelled. On the evening of the 17th of May, which was Whit-Tuesday, they were together at the Queen Adelaide public-house at Hastings, and left about eleven o'clock at night, and at this time they appeared to be on friendly terms, but were both to some extent in liqueur. On the fol lowing morning about one o'clock, a lodger in the house name Cook was awoke by the prisoner, who begged her, for God's sake, to get up, as she said she had stabbed " Steeve," meaning her husband. Mrs. Cook immediately got up and went into the prisoner's room, where she saw the deceased man sitting in a chair, with a wound in his breast, from which the blood was flow ing. He was alive, but unable to speak, and he was holding an apron to his breast, while the prisoner was walking about the room crying. Mrs. Cook, seeing the state of the deceased, went out to fetch Mr. Gardner, a surgeon, and upon their returning together to the room they found the prisoner still there crying ; and upon her seeing Mr. Gardner she exclaimed that she had stabbed the deceased with a knife used by him in his trade, which she had thrown out of the window ; and upon a search being made the knife was found in the yard of the house covered with blood. The unfor tunate deceased was found to have been stabbed com pletely through the heart, and he died a minute or two after the arrival of the surgeon. While Mr. Gard ner was examining the deceased the prisoner appeared to be very excited, and said that she and her husband had been out together, and that upon their leaving the public-house to go home she gave her husband the slip, and when she got home he abused her, and reproached her for leaving him, and in the course of the altercation that took place between them afterwards she threatened him with some violence, upon which he opened his shirt and said, "Do it," or words to that effect, and she im mediately snatched up the knife and plunged it into his breast. It appeared that the prisoner had never at tempted to deny that she had caused the death of her husband, and on her being taken to the police station, she said to the constable, " I have often taken up a knife to him, but this time I meant it." Mr. Hurst addressed the jury for the prisoner, urging that under the circumstances of excitement and liquor in which the prisoner was at the time of the melancholy occurrence, they would be justified in taking a merciful view of her conduct, and acquitting her of the crime of murder, and find her guilty of manslaughter only. The Lord Chief Baron, having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. She was sentenced to be transported for ten years. THE BRIGHTON CARD-CHEATING. John B•oome surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment for misdemeanour, in having defrauded Wm. Henry Hamp of a large sum of money, by cheating at cards. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Creasy were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the defendant. The facts of this case having been so repeatedly before the public, under the head of " The Brighton Card cheating Case," that it will be utterly unnecessary to repeat them on the present occasion. The prosecutor Hamp was examined, but either from want of memory, or some other cause, it was with very great difficulty that any direct answer could be obtained from him ; and in answer to a question put by Mr. Parry, he said that at the time when he was alleged to have been defrauded by Staden and James, who, it will be remembered, were convicted upon an indictment which charged them with being *concerned in the tran saction, the defendant was asleep on a sofa, and took no part in the proceeding, and he declared that he had always made the same statement with regard to him. 1- The Chief Baron, after hearing .this statement, ex pressed his opinion that the jury dould , not be expected to convict a man of an offence who, it was represented, was fast asleep at the time it was supposed to have been committed, and who took no part in it. Mr. J ohnson said that after this intimation from his lordship he should not proceed further with the case. The jury then, under his lordship's direction, returned a verdict of not guilty, and the defendant was ordered to be discharged. This concluded the business of the assizes. SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—CARDIFF, JULY 18. William Price, surgeon, was arraigned upon a charge of having committed wilful perjury in testimony which he gave o n the trial of a cause Millward v. Millward and another, in the County Court of Glamorganshire at Cardiff. Mr. Giffard and Mr. Rees conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Pri oe defended himself, and was accommodated with a st at at the table, where his extraordinary costume and app •arance attracted much attention. His silvery beard Ho wed over his breast a considerable length • he was dress 3ed in a roun d jacket of light green, which, together with his trowsers, was vandyked around the edges, at id turned up with scarlet ; his waistcoat was also scald. et ; and his cap was made of an entire otter skin, which he generally wears with the tail and legs hanging iclown his back. He challenged a great number of the jur, y. Mr. Gil lard stated the case to the jury, and called witnesses, but His for dship intimated his opinion that the alleged perjury ws is not "material to the issue;" and, therefore, an indietrz Lent could not be sustained ; but left it to the defendant to decide whether he would address the jury on the fact A or not. Mr. Pri, ce then read a long and rambling address, in which he a Lpplied most violent terms to the parties con nected wit h the prosecution, including even the witnesses, and not sparing the judge of the County Court. At half- past 12 o'clock at night the jury retired, and in about t hree-quarters of an hour returned into court, with a vex diet of not guilty. HIIDIM ISFIELD, July 19.—The state of our market is much. ti ie same as last week's ; we have no important change to notice. Seasonable goods are inquired for ; also the thicker makes of woollen goods, chiefly in blacks and brow ns. We have had some few buyers in town' who have: bought for home consumption, but not to Any lArgAmAcrant. Shippern Atpresent Aro quint. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSION -HOUSE. —Thomas Bentley, the con ductor (No. 59) of a Paddington omnibus, was charged with having used insulting and abusive language to Captain Joseph Burton, opposite to the Mansion-house. The complainant, who is a captain in the army, and resides at No. 7, Grove-terrace, St. John's Wood, said —Between 11 and 12 o'clock to-day I went into the de fendant's omnibus near Upper Baker-street, for the pur pose of being put down opposite to the Mansion-house, upon arriving at which place I offered him 4d. He said he would not take that sum, as his fare was 6d. I said I would pay what the police constable would say I ought to pay, upon which he asked me if I was a gentleman or not, and he declared that I was not one for not paying the amount he demanded. He then said that I was an old vagabond, and I gave him in charge. This was all said in the hearing of the police constable. George Payne (464) said—At half-past 11 o'clock this day the defendant and the gentleman who makes the complaint came over to me at the corner of the Bank. The latter wanted to know what the fare was. The de fendant said, " You old vagabond why don't you pay the fare ?" and the complainant gave him in charge. The Lord Mayor said it was odd enough, that at the very commencement of the operation of the new Carriage Act an extraordinary number of instance of insolence and attempts at extortion had occurred. The present was rather a remarkable sample of the gross conduct of the class which the law was meant to correct and improve and he would, therefore, adjudge the defendant to impri sonment without giving the alternative of a penalty. The sentence upon the omnibus conductor was imprison ment for seven days, but if any future case should be proved against him the sentenee should be the most severe the magistrate had it in his power to inflict. The defendant departed in the custody of the gaoler, in a very dejected condition. DOW-STREET.—John Daley, a sergeant of the A division of police, No. 48, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with a ruffianly assault upon In spector Reason, the intelligent officer employed by the Commissioners of Police to enforce the regulations of the act for the improvement of common lodging houses. Mr. Richard Reason, who had been brought from. Charing-cross Hospital, with his head bandaged, and ap parently exhausted from the injuries which he had received, stated that the defendant was one of the constables employed under Captain Hay to visit the lodgings of the poor in one of the metropolitan dis tricts. In common with other officers, he was allowed certain travelling expenses, an account of which it was his duty to submit to witness for examination. On a late occasion witness detected an overcharge in defendant's account, and warned him not to repeat a similar attempt to obtain more than he was en titled to. On Monday, however, witness found the de fendant's accounts inaccurate in several instances, and consequently intimated his intention to report him to the commissioners. He (Inspector Reason) accordingly did so' yesterday morning (Wednesday), and Captain Hay ordered the defendant to be suspended. Witness saw the defendant shortly afterwards, and told him what had taken place. He said nothing in reply, and witness walked into the common-lodging-house office, 1, Palace-yard. He was waiting there when he saw the defendant enter the room, and immediately afterwards he (Inspector Reason) received a blow on the forehead, which had the effect of stunning him. Inspector Humphreys stated that he was standing in the office at the time, with Inspector Reason, whose back was towards the door. He saw the defendant enter the room, and thought he was going to speak to Mr. Reason, but instead of that the defendant drew a truncheon from under his coat and struck the Inspector a violent blow in the face, causing the blood to flow copiously. Mr. Reason fell, insensible, and the de fendant renewed the attack in a cowardly manner, but witness and another officer succeeded in wresting the truncheon from his hand, during which he attempted to strike them also. The defendant said, " I have had my revenge, and shall have justice. Do what you like with me." Kirby 3 A division, deposed that a few minutes before the occurrence the defendant came to him in Scotland yard and said, " Kirby, lend me your staff, for I have left mine at home, and my coat does'nt hang well with out one." Witness lent him his truncheon, and the one now produced (with which the assault was committed) was the same. Mr. C. S. Watkins, the house surgeon of Charing cross Hospital, deposed to having dressed a severe lace rated wound over Inspector Reason's left eye, caused by a severe blow. It had deprived him of his sight, and witness considered it probable that he might not recover the use of that eye. The defendant, who had elicited, in cross-examination, that Inspector Reason had lately befriended him, by re commending him, with others, as deserving of an increase of salary, stated that the reason he had assaulted the in spector was, that he was not likely to get justice in any other way. He was the only Irishman among the lot of them, and the fact was that they did not like him to have a share of the public plunder. Mr. Henry committed him for trial. ' During the day there were two or three applications to Mr. Henry to settle cab disputes, but in each case the hirer was found to be wrong in his estimate of the dis tance, or at least declined to undergo the ordeal of mea surement-; and consequently had to pay the additional charges for time. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Porter, an elderly man, who for 30 years has been a confidential servant in the employ of Mr. Murray, the bookseller, of Albemarle-street, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bing= ham, charged with stealing several books, the property of his employer. Thomas Sedgewick stated that he resided at 17, Holles-street, Clare-maiket, and in consequence of a communication he had with the police, he asked the pri soner to get him two books, and gave him the names on the paper produced. On Saturday, prisoner brought him " Coleridge's Table Talk," and witness asked him how much it was. The witness replied 2s. 6d. or 35., and witness gave him 2s. 6d. Yesterday morning he went to Mr. Murray's, in Albemarle-street, and there saw the prisoner, who gave him the " Quarterly Re- view," receiving from witness 2s. in payment. Witness asked prisoner if he was satisfied with that amount, and he replied in the affirmative. Witness subsequently handed the books to Taylor, the detective officer. The books produced are the same he received from the pri soner. Charles Payne, clerk to Mr. Murray, deposed that the prisoner was a porter in Mr. Murray's service, and from suspicion he had of the prisoner, he marked the two books produced. On Friday he marked 13 copies of " Coleridge's Table Talk," and loft them safe in the shop, and on Monday morning he missed one copy from the lot. On Monday he marked 38 copies of the " Quar terly Review," and when he went to business on Tues day morning he missed one of them. The price of Cole ridge is 65., and the Quarterly 6s. also. The trade price of Coleridge is 4s. 6d., and the Quarterly 4s. 7d., which amounts the prisoner ought to have charged and re ceived. The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was remanded for a, week. LAMBETH.—Thomas Dalton, a well dressed young man, was placed at the felon's bar, on a charge of obtain ing from Mr. Thomas B. Simpson, the proprietor of the Cremorne Gardens, a cheque for twenty pounds and five shillings in silver, by false pretences. Mr. Simpson deposed that on Thursday, the 14th in stant, the prisoner called at Cremorne Gardens, and presented a note which purported to have been written by Mr. Brickhill, his printer, in Newington Butts, and which appeared to be a request for five pounds or five shillings—it was difficult to discover which, as the writ ing was very indifferent. He handed the note to his clerk, and believing that it had come from Mr. Brickhill, and having ascertained that there were two weeks' printing due to him, he desired his clerk to draw a cheque for 201., and this he signed and crossed. On re ceiving the cheque, the prisoner said he thought there must have some mistake, as Mr. Brickhill told him that he was to go to Walham Green to get some money, and if he did not succeed he was to call on him (Mr. Simp son) and receive five shillings, which he was to pay for two weeks ; and on this representation he gave the pri soner five shillings from his pocket, in addition to the cheque. Mr. Brickhill, printer, of Newington Butts, said the prisoner had been employed by him for some short time as a compositor, and denied having given him any au thority to call on Mr. Simpson for money. He also de nied having received either the cheque, the tickets for the Licensed. Victuallers' fete, or the note enclosed by Mr. Simpson. Prisoner was remanded. EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—The total number of vessels now preparing for the various ports of Australia is 26 ; the total amo un t o f reg i stered tonnage 16,300. The sailings from this port from the 7th to the 13th inst. have been—one vessel for Moreton Bay, 997 tons ; one vessel for Sydney, 1,650 tons; three vessels for Melbourne, aggregate tonnage 987 tons, or an aggre gate tonnage of 3,634 tons. In the half-year ending the 30th of June, 138 ships sailed from Liverpool to Avstralia, and their tonnage was 73,190 tons. The shipments of manufactures and ordinary merchandise have increased, and, since the arrival of the overland mail the rates of freight have exhibited an advance. Owing, however, to the greater demand for labour at home, emigration has for some time received a check. Liverpool Chronicle. AN INTERESTING .ATLAS.—The Constitutionnel, in alluding to the sale in London in which the Bouillon Bible was lately disposed of, says :—An atlas of the Emperor N a p o l eon , I m which are traced with his own bands his principal plans of battle, and which was to have been put up at 5 01., was withdrawn from the sa l e by the owner. A visit; made to him by the Fren c h am bassador is said to hale induced him to do so. W e cannot but congratulat.3 our representative in London on the result obtained.
