• they could not, and so were content to make a ent for themselves, infinitely to their g eced . e. At the eleventh hoar, and at the sgr y . mo th m inute of that hour, the Admiralty Ibrought in a nasty bill for 6,5181. 12& for the wages of the men employed, and an additional charge for victuals, as if supposing the ship, this horrible brig had not been there, she would have been nowhere else, and as if supposing the men employed did not eat there, they would not eat at all. Here there was a charge of 1,0001., when it was proved in evidence that the stores recovered from the Thetis were worth upwards of 2,0001, and yet the Admiralty declared that this money should be de ducted from the salvers, and to this day that decision bad not been reversed.—(Cheers.) Now, it was evident that there was a sum of 13,8001. which had been abtained, more than any which had been paid to the salvers. He should very much like to know what bad become of that money? It had been paid to somebody. Somebody had got it; but where was it? They were told that it had been placed to the credit of the public; but he should like to put his finger on the item of the public ledger, which, he was very much afraid, he should not dO---(Cheers)--but if he did , t hat was no rea son why this Committee should not be granted. If the item could not be found, he said the House would be wanting in its financial duty to the public if it did not sanction the appointments of the rest. He was told that search, diligent search had been butmade,. no suc h item could be found, and th ere would be a slur upon the cha meter of the Government if, after what had been stated, they refused the Committee. Captain GLADSTONE must bear his testimony 'o the high services which Captain Dickenson rendered .o th e country in i savi ng the ll• fated ship in question. Great merit was due to him for the skill and enterprise he had manifested in the affair, for at the time the ship uran o n shore there were no hopes that any part of her o could ever be saved, and he therefore, after the success which had attended the exertions of Captain Dickenson, very much regretted the course .the Admi ralty had pursued in the matter. Mr. THORNELEY remarked that it was unfair the Admiralty did not come forward with their claim before the salvage was awarded, for had the legal tribunals who beard the case been awaic of the existence of the debt, most likely a heavier salvage would have been awarded. Sir J. GRAHAM said. perhaps he might be allowed to answer the question of the Hon. Gentleman opposite. He spoke from recollection, but it was his strong impres sion that the claim was made prior to the adjudication. Mr. NICHOLSON thought his Right Honourable Friend who had just sat down had acted most gal lantly in taking the responsibility of this case upon his own shoulders, and all he could blame the Admiralty for was, that they had delayed making their claim so long. The legal tribunals had now no power to act in the case, and he much regretted that it had again been brought forward. He did not think it a fit subject for the Committee of that House to inquire into; and he thought, rather than grant the in• quay, it would be much better if the Government coa ted to reconsider the claim of Captain Dickenson. Mr. HUME thought, after what bad passed that evening, Government could not refuse the inquiry. The charge made upon Captain Dickenson was most unjust. It was exorbitant and unfair, and ought never to have been made. The Right Hon. Baronet opposite said all his colleagues concurred with him in making the charge, but he was authorised to state, that Sir Thomas Hardy always repudiated the claim. Many of the materials charged for were never used in saving the ship, while the vessel for which wear and tear was charged, was on the service of the country during the time charged for and named in the bill of costs. Enterprise and exertions of the kind displayed Ity Captain Dickenson in saving the ship in question, ought n. , t to go unrewarded, and he trusted her Majesty's Government would at once accede to the request of the Noble Lord opposite. Mr. RUTHERFORD could not see how the House could interfere in this case. The matter had already been decided by the Court of Admiralty, who awarded 17,000/. to the salvers, and 13,00e1. to the public. Cap tain Dickenson, as one of the salvers, felt that the sum awarded as salvage was insufficient, and appealed to the Privy Council, who eventually confirmed the decision of the Court of Admiralty, and he could not see how the case could be again gone into. He thought it would be attended with great inconvenience, if the solemn deci sions of the Courts of law were to be set aside by the. motions of Right Hon. Members. He totally deprecated the present attempt. Captain BERKELEY opposed the appointment of the Committee. Lord G. BENTINCK thought that a most imp srtaat part in the debate had been overlooked, viz., that Cap fain Dickeason should have the use of her Majesty's ships. It was expressly stated on the part of the Admi ralty, that the salvers should have the free use of the ships and the crew; but that the public should not be put to any expense beyond that incurred by their use. If such a system were to be adopted, a charge might be made against the proprietors of the Opera House for the attendance of the half body of Guards on the occasion of her Majesty's attendance; and also for any other services rendered by the military in cases of fire, or such other emergency. Ha should most certainly vote in favour of the appointment of the Committee. Mr. B. CABBELL thought that justice would not be done to the much injured and overlooked Capt. Dicken son, unless some reparation were made to him for the injuries he had sustained by the charges made by the Admiralty. It was most essential that officers of high attainments and great abil;ties ehou'd be favourably re• commended to the favour of her 3lajesty, and he thought that beside the other acts of injustice done to the Gal lant Captain, and to the public, he had been most un fairly treated by . not being so recommended. He was sorry to hear an intimation coracle by some lion. Member of the paltry and petticogging statute of limitations. When such hints were thrown out, he would ask the persons who made use of them, what was the last Mate of the application wide to the Government On the subject, for it was from that period that tho statute would alone apply. The Gallant Captain had been treated most unhandsomely by the Chancellor of the Exchequer; he had celled upon him, for the purpose of an interview, but was reined it and a request made to bias for a wr,tten statement of the circumstances of his case. He really trusted that justice would be done to the Gallant Olfieer by the House, by the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the subject. This House was the last refuge for the unfortunate—(Loud laugh ter)—and he hoped the claims of one of them would not be overlooked on the oresent occasion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that the conduct of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in requiring a state ment in writing of the case Wai not 30 descrying of blame as the Hon. Member who had just addressed the House seemed to thick; he thought that that was the most pro per course to be adopted by the Chanc 11cr of the Ex chequer. Ile did not see any reason for disturbing the decision which had been come to by the Bo ird of Ad miralty on the subject. It did not appear that the parties before the Judicial Committee were discontentA with the decision of the Court; at all events no attempt was made to :dispute the claim of the Admiralty. The jndicial Commtaee added 12,0001. to the sum of 17,0001. awarded by the Court of Admiralty, a nd the sum of 13 ,0 00 1., claimed by the Ad miralty, should have been paid to the merchants, and not to the salvers. The refusel en the part of the Chancell or to grant sums of money to indi viduals did not arise from a feeling of satisfaction in refusing claims made upon them. The heads of the various departments were plac , cl in situations of great responsibility in dealing with the public money, and fit the weight of that responsibility considerably more than members of any popular assembly could by possibility feel. He thought that if the Houie commenced a sys tem of granting sums of money, and revoking the deci sions of judicial tribunal:. they would be establishing a dangerous precedent, such as the Hon. Member for Mon trose (Mr. Hume) would be the first to complain of ; and he hoped that Hon. Members would take the ad vice, which he hai so often given the Government, viz., to reconsider his decision, and vote against the appoint ment of the Committee. Lord INGESTRE said that his object in moving for the Committee was not for the purpose of making indiscriminate grants of public money, but merely for the purpose of compelling restitution of the money due to a much-injured and gallant officer of the navy. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the committee 32 Against it Majority . . The motion was consequently lost. VAGRANCY (IRELAND). Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the punishment of vagrancy in Ireland, and as he intended to take the discussion on the measure at a future stage he would not trouble the House with any observations at present.—Agreed to. SUNDAY TRADING IN THE METROPOLIS. Mr. HINDLEY moved for a Select Committee on Sun day trading in the metropolis. In bringing forward this motion ha did not wish to be understood as having any desire to interfere with innocsnt and rational enjoyment cm Sunday, but he wished to protect tradesmen from the unjust competition of those who set at defiance the ob servance Of that day of rest and plied their calling as they did on Hou se any to other day. He therefore called upon the do ju . sfice and to put all traders upon the same f hands than his ; but the The subject was in abler Honourable Honourable Member for Lambeth, and the rable Member for Hertford. who were joined with ' al net like, in conse quence of their connexion ' wi th l4 Government, to take that prominent part for w h ic h better qualified than he was. c they were so much upon the subject in 1532 had made cert ain 3yn Committee which _tat tions which had been since acted up o n, ree(am ena% - believed had been attended with the b est o a o nd Whi c h h e especially that one relative to the closing of taver ns &clock on Saturday night to one o'clnoChrooTa Sunday. He would not take up the attention of the n House at greater length, but conclude by moving for a Select Committee to consider till: subject. Mr. HUME did not know what the Hon. Member meant by his present motion. Did he mean to say that men were to be prevented from purchasing meat or from being shaved on the Sabbath-day, or what did he mean ? —(Laughter.) He (Mr. Hume) did not think they would be able to make women chaste or men virtuous by legislation. He wished they could do it, but he did not believe that they would ever be able to effect any good in that way- He thought that the advocacy of such mea sures as the present was a very cheap mode resorted to by some Members of endeavouring to procure a reputation for superior morality, but he did not believe the House would sanction or countenance such attempts. He would, thifefore, oppose the appointment morals could of the Committee, for he considered goo d never be advanced by such means. Mr. B. ESCOTT opposed the motion, not on the ground of its not being brought in by the Government, but because he believed siteh legiAltion would be most mischievous. Besides, even if they did pass such a measure as that proposed, he believed it would be found utterly insftScaciou3. If his Honourable Friend Whale& to resort to such kind of legislation, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1847. ass, 1.. / He thought he should try his hand in putting down the horse-racing and steeple -chasing which were at present carried on on Sunday. lie should also direct his atten tion to the Clubs of London, which were resorted to on interfered o with, fs o e i that ety. dayTbhye g r r e e tt a s t on wnumbershy theyof the we r h e i n g o h t e cl he supposed, ere tried. As he did not was ibctita7e any such attempts would be utterly ineffectua . believe that any good result would follow the present motion, he would vote against it. Sir G. GREY said that the Committee was only asked for in order to inquire how far the present laws were calculated to answer the end for which they were enacted, and not to enforce new penalties. If these laws were inoperative, they perhaps might as well be repealed. He must confess that he did not believe that the present laws were framed to answer the end for which they were proposed. Colonel Sir T. WOOD said that, having had occasion to walk over the Tower Hamlets on a Sunday, he was quite struck with the correct manner in which the day was observed. He did not think a case was made out by the Member for Ashton, he had not even presented a single petition in its faionr. Mr. HAWES said that the object of the Committee was only to inquire how far the present laws were re spected. Many persons suffered severely from the non observance of the day by their rivals in business. All they desired was to be put in the same position as the others. His Bill had no other object than to put down open trading on the Sunday morning. Dr. BOWRING said that every person regarding society, in the metropolis, could not but be impressed with the fact that there was a very marked improvement in the observance of the Sabbath-day. The Hon. Gentleman asked an Act of Parliament to effect that which it was out of the power of any Act to accom plish. The laws were sufficiently stringent, and let them be resorted to, if there was any complaint.—(Hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS said that the present Bill would only affect the comforts of the poor. Why should not the principle of the Bill be extended against the wealthier classes—against the bishops and judges of the land, who employed their cooks upon a Sunday.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman himself had em ployed, no doubt, his servants upon that day as well as any other. Mr. COWPER was in favour of the Bill, and he con sidered that everything that was said only proved the necessity cf the measure. It was a very hard thing that a small shopkeeper residing in those parts where Sunday trading was going on, should not have his Sunday as much to himself as the more opulent tradesman of Regent street. They had, he thought , a p erfect right to appeal to the House for the enforcement of such a law, and there could be no objection to an inquiry into the best means of effecting the desirable object of keeping the Sabbath inviolate. Mr. WAKLEY objected to the method in which the Bill was proposed to be introduced. It was a sort of piecemeal Legislation, which would be found wholly in efficient. The Bill was to put down Sunday trading in the metropolis, as if the metropolis was the only place in England where Sunday trading was carried on. It could not be denied that the practice of trading on a Sunday was carried on in London and other cities and towns in England to a most discreditable extent; but the question was, how was the evil to be dealt with? How etas the inquiry to be made? Had any application been made to the Commissioners of the Police?—for they were able to furnish the House with more information in twenty-four hours than the House could obtain in an inquiry of a month. He did not see how the evil was to be got rid of, unless it was by educating the people so as to induce a greater feeling of self-respect. In his opinion such a Bill would be quite futile, and he there fore hoped that the Hon. Member would not divide the House upon his Bill. Mr. MUNTZ said that the only and the best way of preventing Sunday trading, was to enable the people to get so good a livelihood in the week that they would have no occasion to trade upon Sunday. Why was not the same principle to be carried out with regard to other persons besides shopkeepers. The Post-office clerks, in all country places, were compelled to work all Sunday, while those in London were not. They should remove this evil as well as the trading on Sunday, otherwise it would be partial in its operation, and, conse quently, of little or no avail. Captain PECHELL wished to know what was to be done with cargoes of fish which arrived in Billingsgate on Saturday night, if they were not sold on Sunday morning. Cargoes of lobsters fought and tore each other; and were they to remain fighting and destroying each other all Sunday, because they might not be sold. After a few words from Mr. CHAPLIN and Colonel Wool), which did not reach the gallery, Mr. Alderman COPELAND said, that in the Broad way of the city of Westminster, he saw shops of every class open on Sundays. It was a disgraceful sight, and he thought it was quite time to put a stop to so great an evil. Colonel SIBTHORPE said that the tobacco and cigar shops were open all the Sunday, and he thought that it was less harm to allow a loaf, or some such necessary to be purchased on Sunday, than to allow the people to purchase cigars and tobacco for the purpose of wasting the day in the practice of smoking. Mr. HINDLEY did not wish to inflict any injury upon the small class of shopkeepers by this Bill,but he thought that the Committee of Inquiry ought to enter into proper details, so as to hear the opinion given by the classes most likely to be affected. He did not wish to interfere with or injure any class, but he thought that the practice of Sunday trading was carried too far at present. A Committee of Inquiry would be enabled to ascertain how far the principle could be carried, without pushing it to a mischievous extent. Mr. COLLETT thought that if they were to hinder the small tradesman from keeping open his shop on Sun days, they should make the Bill extend to more aristo cratic evils, such as keeping open the club-houses. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion 5l Against it M sjority —32 NAVAL ARCIATECTURE. Mr. HUME wished to state. that with regard to cer tain returns fur which he had given notice of motion, he would procsed with part of them at once, and should de fer the remainder in order that the Board of Admiralty might not have to complain that he bad taken them by surprise on so important a question. He should be anxious to defer the discussion of the whole question un til that day fortnight. The portion of them for which he should move, was for a copy of the instructions from the Board of Admiralty to the Committee of Naval Con struction, appointed to inquire into the state of naval architecture; and copies ot the several reports which that Committee have made to the Board ot Admiralty on the state of the ships of her Majesty's fleet. Also, copies of all melon, issued by the,Cotninittee of Construc tion, or by the Board of Admiralty, in consequence of the reports a that Committee respecting tile alterations of those ships laid down, or in progress of buiEing, or built, according to the lines or plans of Sir William Symonds, the surveyor of her Majesty's navy, or any other constructor. Mr. WARD said, that when he came down to the House, he was not prepared for the extent of the Hon. Member's motion. Ile thought that he should be en abled to show him that it was impo.sib!e to give copies of the instrue:ions from the Board of Admiralty, as they were strictly confidential papers. He admitted that the Hon. Member had, to a certain extent, made out his ease, and, therefore, he had no objection to the first part of the return. But, with respect to the last portion, to produce the instructions issued to the Committee of Construction, he could not consent to that, as it never had been the practice to lay such instructions on the table of the House. The Hon. Member had better delay that portion of his motion for a fortnight, when the question would come before the House in another form. To-morrow he would lay before the House that portion of the returns to which he gave his assent. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the proposition of the Hon. Member was very fair, still he could not agree with him that the instructions to the Committee of Construction should be held as private and confidential, and withheld from the House. Mr. WAWN said he had no objection to producing the first part of the motion, but be could not consent to producing . the instructions issued to the Committee of Construction. At a future time he would be prepared to give good reason for adopting this course. After a few observations from Mr. WA LEY and Mr. Hume, the motion was withdrawn. Lord MORPETH. moved to refer the Towns Im provement Clauses Bill to a Select Committee, to con sist of the following Members :—Viscount Morpeth, Mr. Greene, The Attorney General, Viscount Sandon, the Lord Advocate, Sir William Heathcote, Sir Wil liam Somerville, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Escott, Mr. Loch, Mr. Beckett, Dr. Bowring, Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, and Viscount Ebrington.— Agreed to. Captain PECHELL moved for a copy of the Order in Council of the year 1834, relative to the reduction of the sea emoluments of the Paymasters and Pursers of the Royal Navy, which they surrendered for the purpose of creating a fund for the benefit of those offi cers of their class who were on half-pay ; with a return of the amount annually accruing since the passing of the said order :—Also, the annual amount caused by any subsequent reductions in the sea emoluments of the Paymasters and Pursers, with the date when the same took effect. Likewise, a return of all sums that have been applied to the increase . of the half pay, and to the formation of a retired list of the Paymasters and Pur sers since the Order in Council of the year 1834, with the date when the same took effect.—Agreed to. VAGRANCY (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was introduced and read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on 'Tuesday next. ARMY SERVICE BILL. Oa the order of the day for readieg this Bill a third tim e , Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS rose to oppose it, as her e Bon wie orveerini.,,naree,ntwohuaida confinest struck himselfo oat one to half th a o t f p t o t; , sti,Gthp number servservice, oant. t 1 era, :.e.„nd, S a i d nc e e ora t in he un ß ic i a ll tio h o a s d f c r o o m m e a b g e r fo e r a e t the House, he ha d they other parties connected with the i n t, i i ted in deprecating the Bill, as likely to operate in T b h ec e o p m n i n n c g ip m le o o r f e limited enlistment was iluaricayoFuticiloY4y n i t l e es, and one that must fie un populargiven w o i p t a t s ti e i t m military maintained in ca se ttrao • that a war arose between this and He had said that this measure would not d : men to the service, nor would it, if joined, induce them to continue in it. The Hon, ' l a r d Gallant Genileman quoted from one of the public prints in support of this opinion. Th e same organ added—(Several lion. Members—What organ ?) —Mr. Fox Maule—A single barrelled organ— (Laughter)—that it would be impossible to induce a re spectable man to re-enlist if he were once freed from the service. A good pension was the one thing needful.— (Laughter.) He repeated it, a good pension was the only thing needful to raise the character of the service, and he ;should wish to have a distinct declaration from and i , e thought the course sought to be pursued by the Hon. Member, namely, to read a Bill a second time, by consent, and take the discussion in Committee, would be exceedingly inconvenient; and interfere with the business of the House. [At this moment Mr. Brotherton entered from the side gallery, and, amid loud laughter, was repeatedly called on. The Hon. Member was rising, when,] Mr. SPOONER said, that seeing the feeling, of the House opposed to the fu r ther progress of the Bill that evening, he should postpone the second reading till Monday, the 26th inst. EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL. This B 11 was read a thir.l time and passed. The House then adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve o'clock. lAILWAY COMMITTEES, (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP I. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re•asseinbled in Room 30, at the usual hour this morning. Mr. W. 0. Stanley, in the absence of Lord Granville Somerset, who was indisposed, took the chair. THE BRIGHTON (MID RENT) SCHEME. Mr. TALBOT wished to be excused continuing his aAress. but The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee were unanimously of opinion that they ought not to adjourn. Mr. TALBOW said he had no alternative, then, but to pro ceed with his argument. Having occupied a considerable time in jus ifving the gradients on the line between London and Maidstone. the Learned Gentleman went on to state that his opposition to the North Kent line of the South-Eastern Company would beof a mitigated character. He could not deny that it was strongly supported by local interests and perhaps it ought to be made, but unit as the Committee. took steps to compel the South-Eastern Company to carry out this North Kent scheme per se, he very mutt► feared that it would par tially be abandoned. lie had therefore to propose that the Committee should grant the Brighton line from Maidstone to Sittingbourne, and then allow it to join the South- Eastern North Kent line. If, on the other hand, the Committee preferred the Brighton line in its entirety, why then they could grant it accordingly. The Brighton would be found to be the better line of the two for continental through traffic, because the line pointed directly towards Dover, and might easily be extended in that direction. The South-Eastern line, however, did not possess this advantage, and unless the Committee, by granting portions, or all of the ➢righton Mid Kent line between Maidstoce and Canterbury, placed a control over the South-Eastern Company, their North Kent line would never be constructed per se, nor would it ever find its way to Dover. If the Brighton Mid Kent Line were conceded, he should not ob ject to the loop from London to Dartford, or to the line from Chatham to Sittingbourne and Sheerness, and there to join the Brighton scheme, because such a result would give the whole of Kent the benefit of competition, and insure to its people the realization of the pledges held out by the two parties. The statement of the Learned Counsel occupied the whole of the day. The Committee adjourned at the usual hour till to-morrow (this day). GROUP XVI. This Committee met to-day for the first time, at half-past twelve o'clock, in Room 23, New Houses of Parliament. Members present, Mr. Kemble, chairman ; Viscount Newry, Mr. Wall, and Mr. Pulsford. _ . _ The following Bills have been referred to this Committee : London and North-Western (St. Albans, Luton, and Dunstable). Great Nerthern Railway (Hertford, Hatfield, and St. Albans). Eastern Counties Railway (Hertford to Ilitchin, &c.) Enfield and Edmonton Railway Extension. The Committee having waited nearly two hours for the attendance of Mr. Heneage, the: Chairman retired to con sult the Speaker. It then appeared that in the absence of a Member, on the first day, the Committee was not pro perly constituted, and the proceedings were, therefore, ad journed until Monday, to give time for as application to the Committee of Selection. - GROUP XVIII. The Committee on this group, comprising the Earl of Lin• coin, in the chair, Sir W. James, Mr. M. J. O'C .nnell, Cap tain Jones, and the Hon. G. S. Smyth, assembled to-day ai one o'clock, in Room No. 25. The preliminary proceedings for ascertaining the Counsel for the promoters and the opponents of the line having been gone through, The first Bill to be taken was, according to the rules of the House, THE LONDON, ox.roun, AND CHELTEN HAM RAILWAY (CHELTENHAM TO TX G). Before proceeding. however, the Earl of Lincoln inquired whether arty arrangement had been made between the seve ral parties? Mr. AUSTIN stated that he was retained for this Bill, and had a right to begin, and:he should therefore decline io entvr into any such arrangement. The Earl of LINCOLN then intimated that, according to the rules of the House, before any Bill could be entertained b a Committee it w.is necessary that a report should be made by the Railway Commissioners, that certain regulations haii been complied with. Now, no such report had been made, and therefore it was at present impossible to go on. He had written to Mr. Strutt, the President of the Board, to ascer tain when that report was likely to be made, as it was bet ter to wait for the reply tkan to adjourn, as was their only alternative, sine die. After waiting some time, Mr. KEATLNG applied to the Committee for leave to argue the objeuti. , us of the company for which he appeared, before taking the preamble. At this moment the reply of Mr. Strutt was received, and the Earl of Lincoln stated that the communication intimated that the report could not be made until Monday, and sug gested the adjournment of the Committee till Tuesday next. Mr. ICEATING still pressed his request, that the Committee would hear the evidence and counsel, and deter the decision on the preamble until the report was made. He thought that application might be made for this to the House. After some turther conversation as to the usage of Parlia mentary Committees, the Chairman sent to confer with Mr. lienablj, the Chairman of the only other Committee that was sitting to-day. The reply was that Group 16 was not in the same difficulty, for they had received their report. The Earl of LINCOLN then threw out the suggestion that application, if made, would in all probability tail, as he ap prehended that if he were to make the motion, as a matter of course, he would be stopped, and he thought, therefore, that nothing would be gained, It was ultimately arranged that, in the event of Mr. Strutt not being able to assure the Chairman that they could pro ceed on Tuesday, that his Lordship should to-morrow even ing give notice for a motion, to be taken on Monday, for leave to proceed on Tuesday. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock on Tues day next. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. ROLLS COURT, April l 3 LATOUR V. HOLCOMBE. Mr. PALMER, on the part of the assignees of the plaintiff, moved for an order to dismiss the bill with costs. It appeared that the plaintiff (Colonel Latour) became bankrupt, and his estate was sold by his as- • signees to the defendant. The plaintiff filed a bill, to which the d. f.aidant demurred, which was dismissed, and the plaintiff had been in prison since for the costs of that suit. Mr. KINDERSLEY (who, with Mr. Hilderton, appeared for the plaintiff.) stated that his client had been very badly treated by his assignees. and that the Vice- Chancellor. before whom the former cause was heard, had expressed a very strong opinion in favour of the plaintiff's case, supposing the allegations in his bill were substantiated. His client had every hope, in the course of a month or six weeks, of being able to raise the funds requisite to discharge the costs for which he was detained. His LORDSHIP (at the conclusion of the arguments) said that the plaintiff was no doubt entitled to the protection of the Court on a motion for the dismissal of a bill with costs. At the same time, nothing should be done to the derogation of the rights of the defendants, who had performed their duty in reference to the pro ceedings before the Court. Before the plaintiff became entitled to the delay which he sought for he should make out a reasonable cause for the interference of the Court on his behalf. He did not think that such a case had been made in the present instance, and he would grant the injunction. SAUNDERSON V. THE COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from opening their line, under the following circumstances:—The railway passed through a portion of the plaintiff's property, and by a contract of the 2d of March, 1846. the defendants agreed to afford a suitable accommodation for the plaintiff's cattle. This they pro posed to do by a tunnel under the railway, with which the P laintiff was dissatisfied, and insisted upon their erecting a bridge or giving him a compensa non of 250/. The defendants roused to accede to his demand, but offered him 1001., and the plaintiff instituted the proceedings. It was contended, on the part of the defendants, that the very terms of the contract, "slips for cattle," showed that it was not expected by the plaintiff that they should erect the bridge in question •, that he should have sought redress from the justices of peace at quarter sessions before applying to the court; that it would be almost im practicable, consistent with the purposes of the railway, to make the bridge in question, and that the defendant should have instituted this suit before, and not have de layed till the completion of the line. Mr. Kindersley and another Learned Gentleman ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Turner and Mr. Matins tor the defendants. The arguments in this case, which were commenced before the hoilays, were resumed end concluded to-day. His LORDSHIP directed the case to stand over, both parties having intimated their readiness to accede to the iirection of the Court, as to the manner in which the contract should be specifically performed.

HUMANITY, &c., OF THE INHABITANTS OF ST. KILDA. Stanhope -street, Hyde Park-gardens, April 14, 1847. Sir,--11.- s attention has been drawn to a paragraph in the morning papers of last Monday, which states that a letter has been received by you from Stornaway, setting forth the merit of the inhabitants of St. Kilda in affording aid and protection to shipwrecked mariners , a nd also intimating an apprehension that those islanders may at present be suffering extreme distress in consequence of the failure of the potato crop. 1 know something of the people of St. Kilda, and consider them fully entitled to the credit given to them by your cor respondent, for humane and hospitable conduct towards all who have at any titne been cast upon their shore. My ob ject, however, in addressing ynu is not to support any claim which he may on that ground have advanced on their be half, but to assure you that they are not neglected and in the destitute condition which he imagines, and that no fear need be entertained for their safety, winch is insured by measures taken for that purpose by the proprietors of the island.—l have the honour to be, &c. W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyds. LOSS OF THE TWEED. It is understood to be the intention of the Committee of Lloyd's, with reference to the noble and disinterested conduct of Captain Camp, of the Spanish brig Emilio, in rescuing the survivors of the crew and passengers of the Tweed steamer, to recommend to the subscribers in general meeting, to bestow upon him the honorary medal of the establishment in silver; and to Don Vila Verde, his mate, the honorary medal in bronze; and a suns of money to the crew of the Emilio, as a mark of their approbation of the heroic and generous conduct displayed by those persons on the occasion of the wreck of the Tweed steamer.

Aprills (Sittings in Bunco, bt-fore Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.) THE QUEEN V. ADAMS. Mr. LUSH moved for a writ 01 habeas corpus to bring up the bodies of two elderly females, who had bean con fined in Whitecross-street Prison, and also applied for their discharge, as they had been in prison since 1844. They had pleaded guilty to an indictment, and he pro. se. utor had refused to pray the judgment of the Court upon them, and the constqueni.e was that they bad been tetained in custody ever since, and had been maintained at a considerable expense to the justict s. Mr. PEACOCK, on behalf of the prosecutor, said that ;he dekndant3 were committed on a former cccasion for contempt tire , urt, and the) had since repeated the libel. Lord DENMAN, after making some inquiries, said they had nut Le. n committed for contempt, but merely on the indictment for a libel. Mr. PEACOCK applied to t' e Court for time to allow the prosecutor v, put in some affidavit' before the parties were brought up for judgment. Lord DENMAN —We cannot keep them in prison to please your client. If they repeat the libel you can have them punished again, but as they have been so long con fined I think that they had better be brought up. Mr. Lusu said that the parties were present. Lord DEsmart—'then let them come forward. Miss Frances Adams and Miss Mary Anne Susannah Adams were then brought forward. Lord DENMAN—You are now brought up for judg ment for a most serious offence, on which you have al lowed judgment to go by default. You have been in custody for a very long period, and the Court thinks that punishment enough. Ihe judgment of the Court is that you each pay a fine of . one shilling to the Queen, ano enter into your own recognizances in 100/. each to be of good behaviour for the next two years. The Remembrancer then proceeded to read the form of recognizance, and said—You and each of you owe to our sovereign lady the Queen the sum of 1001. Miss Mary Anne—We owe 1001.? How do we owe the Queen 100/? We do not owe her a shilling. The COURT — 4 l'OU must pay her a fine of a shilling. Miss Frances Adams—Pay her a shilling! —no, nor a penny. Lord DENMAN—You must not repeat the offence; that is ali you bind ourselves to. The two ladies at oncx--I'Ve have n ever. misbehaved • ourselves—the villain. Lord DENMAN—You must not use such an ,age. The Remembrancer (showing the form o erecogni zance)—Read this. Miss are dote Annemined Mary Lord DENMA.N—There is no harm intended to you, they are merely words. You onl y p romise that y ou will r A h d a a v m e s rus ." tic. . e won't leave the Court, we not repeat the offence. Miss Frances Adams—Oh, won't we though ? Yes we will.—(Laughter.) The R .membraticer having read the form of recog nizance, an attempt was made to remove the ladies. Ti3eir removal was, however, a matter of much difficulty, for one fastened on the Solicitor-General, while the other firmly grasped the Attorney General. The usher of the Court attempted to remove them, but without success for some time, until the assistai,ce of the police was called in, when the ladies were taken out amidst shouts of laughter, in which the Bench joined.

The action was tried before Baron Rolfe, at Liverpool, the declaration being a plevin to recover a large sum of money which the plaintiffs alleged bad been wrongfully &strained by their landlords, the defendants. The pre mises were taken for a term of fourteen years, to be computed from the 24th of June, 1845, the rent being 1,4651. per annum during each of the first three years, and 1,2601. per annum during each year of the remainder of the term. According to the lease, the rent became due and payable in a particular manner, the con sideration of which gave rise to a question whether the money paid by the plaintiffs was rent pro perly so called, or merely a gross sum on account. Accordingly, tb• first plea in bar traversed the tenancy, and the second denied that at the time of distress any part of the rent mentioned in the plaintiff's first avowry was in arrear. _ _ On the first part of the case the Court granted a rule for the reduction of damages to 1,462/. 1 le. 4d.

The plaintiff in this action is a carver and gilder, and the defendant is a gentleman residing in Camden.grove, Westbourne•green. The action was brought to recover the sum of 151. for goods sold and delivered. From the evidence on the part of the plaintiff it was shown that the defendant ordered a chimney glass, but on its being taken home defendant complained that there were imperfections in the frame, and said he could not receive it unless it was repaired. This was done, but when it was taken back again the defendant re fused to take it. Mr. FISH, on behalf of the defendant, contended that this %at no delivery, and, therefore, that the present acti TA could not be maintained. The steam-ship Hibernia, with the mails from Canada and the United States of the Ist instant, had not reached Liverpool on Wednesday af vnoon at half past four o'clock, the hour at which our express left for London.

Richard Ma, tin alias Aubrey, a young man of fashion able appearance, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a coat from Mr. James Ralph, 150, Strand, and with obtaining goods from several tradesmen by false represer tations. Mr. Everill, on behalf of the London Association for the Protection of Trade, appeared for the several members who bad been swindled by the prisoner and his associates. It appeared that the prisoner selected a coat, values! 81., at the shop of prosecutor. and a messenger being sent with him to the Albany, in Piccadilly, where he said he occupi-d chambers, he contrived to possess him— self of it, and escaped by a back door. (in being ap• prehended on the 29th of March at his lodgings, 34. Walcot-square, by Thornton and Whitaker, the detective officers, the coat was found, with a vast quantity of property belonging to other tradesmen. The prisoner said he would reserve his defence, and he was fully committed for trial. The prisoner was again charged with felony under the following circumstances:— Mr. Buckingham, 14. Baker street, Portman-square hosier and gl,ver, stated that on the 18th March the prisoner called at his shop, and having I , eked out a variety of articles, which amounted to 111 14s. directed them to be sent by seven o'clock in the evenine precisely to Mr. B milord Cooper, 3, Avenue-road, Re gent's•park, the rame and address which he gave of himself, with the understanding that the goods should be paid ter on delivery; in consequence of which they were packed up, but there being something sanicious in the circumstance he gave instructions to his assistant not to leave them without the money. George Clarke. assistant to the last witness, stated that he took the articles, as he was directed, and on arriving at the house the prisoner came in after him at r the gate, and said, " You have brouv,ht these things for me,' to which witness replied, "Y e s," at the same time giving him the bill, which he asked for. They had got to the front doer, which was opened by a boy, and the prisoner desired him to walk in. but first having got the parcel in his hand, suddenly darted into a shrubbery a the side of the house, where he escaped over a gate at the bottom of the garden. Witness immediately gave an alarm, and on re urning to the house was informed that it had been occupied by a clergyman, who had left oniy a few days previous, and that no such person as the pri soner was ever known there. The prisoner wis committed on this charge also for trial. Mr. Everill said in addition to the foregoing cases he had another charge against the prisoner, who was, there fore., ordered to be turther remanded. CLERKEN WELL.

As he (Mr. Haye) had put up the first shutter, he heard the click of a pistol lock, and upon turning round he saw the prisoner standing at the other side of the street, with a pistol directed towards him. The two policemen came up and took the pie.tol from him. It was found to be loaded, and the hammer was down. In reply to Mr. Greenwood, the prosecutor stated that about twelve months ago he was compelled to exhibtt articles of the peace against the prisoner at the ses.item, in consequence of which he was kept in prison for nearly six months. Poiice constable E 35, produced the pistol which he took from the prisoner ; it was a brass screw barrel, and had one of the old flint and steel locks. He also produced the charge which had been drawn from it, and instead of a bullet a round stone was placed over the powder. The prisoner aimed the pistol directly at Mr. Hayes. The prisoner said with much emphasis and determina tion of manner. " I ant sorry I d.d not shoot him loll; ago—he knows he has been the ruin of me."

Gentleman opposite that the Govern ment intended to revise the scale of pensions with a view to the proper remuneration of the disbanded sol diery. He had to move that this Bill be read a third time that day six months. Captain BOLDERO, in seconding the motion said, that they in that House could not come to a satisiactory determination without information from the military au thorities. Why had they not the opinions of the Com mander-in-Chief to guide them ? Wby had not the same course been adopted in this measure as in the case of corporal punishment ? In that case, at the recom mendation of the Commander-ire Chief, corporal punish ment had been limited in extent. But the Right Hen. Gentleman wished to press this Bill in order to get it through in the early portion of the session. Was there any necessity for all this hurry? Could they not wait until they had the report of a commission upon the sub ject ? Why, at present the veriest drummer boy in her Majesty's service knew as much of the matter as any Member of that House.—(Hear, Oh, oh ! and laughter.) Hon. Members might laugh, but how could it be expected that they, gentlemen, devoted to pro fessional, agricultural, or commercial pursuits, should know anything of this question. And after all, this was a great experiment, at experiment on an army that was notoriously the best in Europe, and they were bound to give sound military authority for the charge, before they adopted it. They might search the whole surface of the earth, and they would not find a better body of men than those who now composed the British army. He might take two instances of the standard. There was two, which came under the notice of a friend of his, and he felt assured that from those instances, that a discre tionary power should be left in the hands of the com manders of regiments, to choose the persons whom they would enlist, without reference to the standard. If they were determined to carry this Bill through, they should do it with certain modifications. There was another falsity going abroad, and that was that the army was recruited from the dregs of the people ; but such was not the case, for the men all showed that they were of very different characters. If they meant to have good men, they must give a real bounty. The real bounty was that which went to procure a kitt, for the prospect of a pension was too remote to be of any ser vice, for, so long as the present practice was continued, they would always be subject to imposition. He knew an instance in which one man had enlisted eight times in seven months, and had, from his natural defects, been as often discharged ; and he knew another in which a man had deserted seven times in eight months. If they were to give pensions at all, they should make them earlier, for at the present time a man had to wait for twenty-one years for his pension of tenpence a day ; and, in his opinion, it would be far better to give six pence a day at an earlier period. Then, with regard to discharge, a great improvement might be made ; and he would, for his own part, a great deal rather that no discharges were given in the Colonies, unless the soldier intended to settle in the colony. They ought to be brought home, although the term of his service had Gore than expired. Under all the circumstances, he felt assured that the Right Hon. Gentleman was not justified in pressing on this Bill at the present moment ; and if he did so without obtaining further information from military authorities, he would be doing a great in. justice, and he should feel compelled to vote for the amendment of his Gallant Friend behind him. Col. REID begged to recall the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman, which he had invited before to the fact —viz., that they would by this Bill be doing a great injustice to the men who were already in the army. By this Bill those who were entering the army would be entitled to their discharge at the end of a certain period, but the men now engaged could not command any such advantage. He further believed that much mischief would arise from the withdrawal of the discretionary power which the commanders of regiments nt,w held of granting or withelding the discharges of men in their several corps, and he therefore trusted that the Right Hon. Gentleman would reconsider this Bill before he pressed it to a division. Lord HOTHAM said he was prevented by indisposi tion from taking any part in the firmer discussions of this Bill. He trusted the House would bear with him, while he stated the reasons which would induce him to vote for the amendment of his Hon. and Gallant Friend the Member for Liverpool. It was stated this Bill was brought forward with the view of inducing a better class of men to enter the army, but he very much feared they would never be able, though they passed this Bill. to attain that object. With regard to the clause limiting the time of enlistment, he considered the Right Hon. Gentleman who had introduced this Bill had gone too far on the one hand, and not far enough on the other. For instance, the time of enlistment was not sufficiently long to ensure the continued efficiency of the army, while no provision was made for supplying the vacancies, when the time of enlistment expired. In 1812, while on foreign service in Spain the term of enlistment of many of the men in the regiment with which he was connected expired, and he well remembered that the men claimed their discharge. It was known to the commanding offi cers of the regiments that no recruits to be got in England could supply the places of these men, and there fore the country was forced to pay a bounty of 16L to each man to induce him to re-enlist. Such a difficulty as this may be likely to arise under the present Bill unless some new arrangements were made with reference to pensions, and before he could bring himself to support a Bill like this, he must know the intentions of Govern ment upon that point. He was decidedly of opinion that the Secretary at War underrated the difficulties and overritt , d the advantages of this Bill, and he could not, under those circumstances, bring himself to concede to the measure. Mr. FOX MAULS said no man was morecomp:tem to give an opinion upon this subject than the Noble Lord opposite. and he was only sorry that the Noble Lord had felt it to be his duty to oppose the Bill. The measure had been brought forward upon the most mature consi deration of the Government, and he hoped therefore that the House would nut refuse to give its sanction to the third reading. Colonel WOOD opposed the third reading of the Bill. He thought no grounds whatever had been shown for such a great change in military discipline, nor had there been any data given why they should assent to such a measure. The Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Fex Maule) in the course of his speech said that the pension was a matter of royal prerogative, and was not a fit subject for the consideration of the House, but he (Colonel Wood) denied that. It was not a royal pre rogative any more than enlistment, and he thought it unfair, therefore, to exclude the House on such grounds from the consideration of that objection to the Bill. He believed the object of the Government to be the improvement of the discipline and the in creased efficiency of the army; but how, he would ask, could that be effected when there was no increase given in the pay or rations of the soldier. The tendency of the Bill, he believed, would be to disband the army, and he thought the obj ect anticipated by the Government of se curing by theßill an increased power for the &fence of the country by a reserved force, formed ot the soldiers who re tired after 10 years service, would be entirely disappointed. He thought that this force would never be found so effective as a reserved force, cempised of pensioners who had served the full term at present rot:Fared, combined with young recruits. This force he cot sidered would be much more effective and powerful than the former, and in case of emergency, would be found a greater safe guard for the country. Believing that this measure will not have the effect which it is coo tetuplated, he would vote against the third reading of the Bill. Colonel LINDSAY considered that the principle of limited enlistment was good, but he considered that fourteen years was, however, better than ten. He was of opinion that some intimation should be held out that an increase of pension should be given, or else the Bill would not have the desired effect. He would vote against the Bill, as no such intimation had been held out. There was no prospect that at the end of the second period of the soldiers' service there should be an increase of pay. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the Hon. and Gal lant Gentleman had no doubt pointed out many incon veniences which arose from the present system, but he was of opinion that the proposed measure would remedy many of them. It was to be desired that they should have a better class of persons in the army, and the pre sent was one of many measures which were intended for the improvement and comfort of the army. The general argument adduced on the question, did not overbear former experience. He could assure the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, that the other question, with regard to the pension, would not be lost sight of by the Government. The warrant of 1832, was very well considered, and had the consent of the bighest military authorities of that time, and it pat an end to many difficulties which had previously existed. He thought that under the altered circumstances—having men enlisted for ten years—and who being good sol diers, wished to re-enlist for a further time, the question of pension, end its amount, ought to be fully considered by the suggestions which h a d b een made in that House, and the suggestion made by the Right Hon. Gentleman, not then present, to the Secre tary at War would be properly and fully weighed by the Government after the Act had passed. He would not say anything further than that, differing as he did from the Hon. Gentleman who opposed the measure, it gave him great satisfaction, as a Member of the Govern. meat, to be enabled to coincide with him in the suggts don which he had made. The House then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment Against it Majority Mr. FOX MAULE then moved that clauses 4,5, 6, 7, and 8 be emitted. Colonel WOOD suggested that certain words be struck out of the 2d clause. Mr. FOX MAULE said he could not agree to the alteration. Colonel SIBTHORPE was astonished at the course proposed by the Government. It was a most extraor dinary proceeding for the Secretary at war to strike out so many clauses. Why, scarcely any portion of the Bill would be left. He would advise the Gallant Colonel (Colonel Wood) to move the omission of the 2d clause altogether. Then he (Colonel Silahorpe) would move to strike out the first, and they would, therefOre, get rid of the Bill altogether.—(Laughter.) The motion was then agreed to. Clauses 4,5, 6, 7, and 8, were then struck out, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. TROOPS DURING ELECTIONS BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed.
