The man whose name is said to be Hill, and who was remanded to this day from the 28th of Ma), upon the charge of being concerned, with Ann Cleveland, in the murder of a male infant, her offspring, was again brought before Mr. Jardine this morning, and Mrs. Cleveland herself was placed at the bar with him for the first time. She appeared to be exceedingly weak, and was therefore allowed to sit down during the whole of the examination. On being asked by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, whether he still persisted in his refusal to give his name, the male prisoner replied that he did. The evidence given on the several former examine Lions was repeated at somewhat greater length, and taken down in the form ce depositions. Mr. Brooking, in cross-examination by Mr. Wolff, said that the death of the child might, as tar as he could judge from the appearance of the body, have been occa sioned by the pressure of the bedclothes, &c., ii placed over the face. Anything that would so cover the mouth and nose as to prevent respiration would, of course, pro duce suff 'cation; and there was nothing in the appear ance of the body to show that the cause was other than accidental. The witness Harriett Swan, who on former occasions gave her evidence with great clearness and distinctness, now hesitated very much, and on being asked the reason of this change, replied, " Why I feel so queer this morn ing—l feel as if I could hardly speak." At one part of her evidence she became so confused that she was obliged to stop to collect herself, and it was some time before she became sufficiently composed to go on with her evi. dence. One of the witnesses (Jane Johnson) said that after giving her e v id ence at the inquest she remembered a fact which sh e h a d not before stated, viz., that on one occasion when M rs. Cleveland was speaking to her about the child (then unborn) she observed that she was sorry she had not killed the child, and that she would have done so had she not feared the consequences. On the conclusion of the examination (which lasted for four hours), Mr. Wolff addressed the magistrate, en deavouring to show that there was no sufficient case against either of t h e prisoners to justify their committal. Mr. J ARDINE said, that as there was nothing against the man but the fact that he was seen to leave the house with some appearance of concealment, which could easily charge h be accounted for u n d er the circumstances, he would dis im. Th ere was much force in Mr. Wolff' s ob servations on the case as it referred to the female prisoner, but he considered the case required investigation, and he would commit her for trial. On hearing this decision the male prisoner imme diately left the d oc k , pushing rudely by the female pri soner, who looked imploringly in his face, and said something in a low tone,:of which he took no notice. Mrs. Cleveland, who appeared very mush agitated, was then ,removed, the witnesses having been bound over to prosecute at the Central Criminal Court. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Landon New Price Current of June 8.) SUGAR. —To-day a further decline took place in the value of all kinds of raw sugar, although the quantity pressed for sale was not so large as it was last week. A further reduc tion of 6d to is having been submitted to for West India Muscovado, occasiond fair purchases to be made in all kinds both for the scale and pan. REFINED. —To-day refined goods met with little attention from the home trade, although there were sellers of brown grocery lumps at 61s 6d to 625. A further increase has taken place in the supply. Bonded Crushed Sugar is in brisker demand. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, and privately little business was done in any kind, whilst there were sellers rather under former rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public auction amounted to 5,500 bags; the demand was extremely limited, and a small part only sold, although holders submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar met with little atten tion by private treaty from exporters or the home trade, and purchases could be made upon rather lewer terms. None was offered at public sale. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was not much desire evinced to operate in Mocha coffee, and 121 bales 280 half bales at public sale were only in part sold at rather lower rates. For West India the market is quiet. Native Ceylon is not much in request, and 1,806 bags were sold at rather lower rates. Of Plantation 10 casks 837 bags were offeced; the superior sorts fetched stiff rates, but the low and mid dling kinds only in part sold at rather lower prices. COCOA.—To-day there was a little demand for West India, and 471 bags Grenada at auction were only in part sold at lower rates. TES.--There are ready sellers of Congou upon previous reduced terms, as the trade in both town and country operate with caution, and the supply being large, especially of the middling and superior sorts. For other kinds of black Tea the market has a dull appearance, and the tendency of prices is downwards, as the supply exceeds the wants of the trade. All kinds of green have been operated in with caution— although there are sellers upon rather lower terms, and the .wpply is large; at auction 2,887 pkgs have been offered, of which only 400 were actually sold. ;;Ica.—To-day East India Rice was in extensive request by private treaty, and further advanced rates were paid, making the rise since Friday last is per cwt. At auction 1,375 bags were offered, when the sound was taken in at 21s 6d for good middling white, being above the value, but the sea d3maged sold, first class at 20s, second 19s, and third 16s 6d per cwt. SPICES.—To-day at public sale 643 bags Malabar Pepper were taken in at the former value, viz., heavy brown, 3d to aid, but the dateaged sold at 2icl to *I; 115 bales African Ginger at 383 to 38s 6d for good sound, which is rather cheaper. Spirtirs.—Although there are sellers of Leeward Island upon furtherreduced terms, still the purchases made have been limited at 3s to 3s Id per gallon proof strength. East India %fiis dull of sale, and can be obtain e d a t 2 s 1 0d proof with cer teeadtei,ribewinAunder previous rates.

He THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1847. LAMBETH. Alfred Marshall, the young man who had been ex amined on the preceding day on a charge of firing a loaded pistol at Miss Louisa Rofe, with whom he was desperately in love, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott. Mr. Binns, the attorney, appeared for the prosecution; - and Mr. Games for the defence. After the examination of one witness, who deposed to having seen the prisoner throw a stone over the }i paling, and at the door of the house where the prosecu trix lived, Mr. Binns made an application to the magistrate to have the prisoner further remanded, so as to give him time to summons three witness, whose testimony in the case was most important. Mr. Games said he had no objection whatever to is re , mend, provided the young man was admitted to bail, as it was the wish of his client, as well as his friends, that the fullest investigation should take place. The prisoner was remanded for a week, but was ad mitted to bail, himself in 801. and two sureties in 401. each, to appear on Tuesday next. THAMES. William Handley, a police-constable, No. 85 11, ap peared before Mr. Ballantine, by order of the Coirmis sioners of Police, to answer a charge of uttering a coun terfeit crown-piece. Mary Simon, of No. 29, Hosier-lane, Smithfield, stated that during the last Whitsuntide fair she was assisting her mother, who opened a shop for the sale of provisions, at the corner of Fairfield-place, Stepney. On the evening of Wednesday, the 26th of May, the pri soner asked for a penny loaf and tendered in payment a crown piece. She was unable to give change, and went to the White Lion beer-shop, the next door but one to the house she was in, to procure it. She returned with ss. worth of good silver, and the policeman was then standing outside the door, where she left him. He was eating the loaf which he had purchased. She requested him to wait a short time longer until she obtained some coppers. She met her father-in-law, and asked him for fivepence, which he gave her. As she was returning to the house she met the policeman crossing the road eating the loaf, but he did not ask her for the change or visit the shop any more. On the following morning Mr. Scarr, the landlord of the beer-house, returned the crown-piece and said it was a bad one. Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor, put some questions to the witness, who said the police constable was standing outside the shop when he asked for the loaf, and when he ; 3. " gave her the crown-piece he held it on the tip of his finger. She said, " I must get you to wait till I procure change." The prisoner cross-examined the woman with much • acuteness, and asked her if he did not give her the crown-piece in mistake for a penny. She replied in the negative. He then questioned her as to whether he heard her say that she would procure change. Sit f would not swear whether he heard her or net. The policeman, in answer to the charge, said he was . in possession of three crown pieces 014 the day in ques don, arising out of three charges he had brought hefrre his worship at thatcourt. The list charge was br,ught be fore the magistrate on the Tue slay in Whitsuis we..k. On - the following day he received Sid, from his wife, and he put on the same trou,ers. In ane of the pockets were xd the three base cr..wris. He was stationed on duty its Stepney fair, and he purchased the loaf, end tendered in payment what he thought was a penny, end never wain d '% for any change. He solemnly declared that he di 'l not hear the complainant request him to wait for the change. He was allowed, by the regulati ,, iis of the police, to re tain possession of base coin for 21 days. Mr. Powell said the regulation alluded to did exist, and that the superintendent of each division of police de livered the base coin to the authorities of the Mint every month. Mr. BALLANTINE said he would do all in his power to put an end to such an arrangement, which ought never to have existed. Police constables ought not to retain possession of base coin for one moment after they had produced it in evidence. The superintendents or in specters were the prop: r persons to take charge of coon : terfeit money. If spurious coin was left in the posses - A sion of police-constables it might get into circulation, as 0 was the case in the present instance. e Ihspector Scott, of the II division, said the constable 5 s had ?stated that w hi c h was incorrect, and was quite 6(.1 ienorant of th e regu l at i ons o f the force. It was his duty, N after the case was disposed of, to deposit the base cr in )% with the inspector at the station-house, enclosed in a r Oti t ,_ piece of paper, w i t h t h e name of the person charged, th,-, ;Is date, and other particulars, and at the expiration of twenty-one days the superintendent would have for warded it to the solicitor of the Mint. 1 Mr. BALLANTINE—That is very proper and a per fectly practicable regulation. Why was it not done iu this case? The prisoner said he supposed he was to keep posses sion of the counterfeit crowns for twenty-one days, and he carried them loose in his pocket. They were all marked. The one in dispute was marked with the initial " G. G." and a cross. Inspector Ellis produced the counterfeit crown, which was marked in the way stated. He received it of Mrs. Simon's father-in-law. Mrs. Moore stated that she was the mother-in-law of Mr. Scurr, the landlord of the White Lion beer-shop, and that she changed the crown-piece between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, and not between the hours of eight and nine, as stated by the first witness. There was some doubt as to its being a good one when she changed it, but Mr. Scurr's brother, on being referred ' to, said it was a good one. The complainant, Mrs. Simon, said it must be a good one, for she had just taken it of a policeman. Joseph G. Scurr, landlord of the White Lion, stated that he first discovered the crown-piece was a bad one, and on returning it to Mrs. Simon she said she took it of a police-constable as a penny-piece, in payment of a penny-loaf, and that she laid the change, 4s. lid., on a shelf, in expectation the constable would find out his mistake and call for it. Mr. BALLANTINE said he would give the prisoner the benefit of the supposition that he had given the forged piece in mistake for a penny, and diacharga him, but he was not at all satisfied with his conduct. Whether the Police Commissioners, who ought to make an in• quiry, would be satisfied with Handley's conduct ho would not say. He could not understand why the po lice-constable was allowed to have possession of base coin at ail. The policeman must have known he had lost ono of the spurious crowns ; and it was strange he never made any inquiry after it, instead of leaving the case to be made the subject of this investigation. The prisoner said he did miss it on l'hursday night, and made inquiries. He was then informed that the base crown had been delivered to the superintendent. Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, I am not satisfied, but I dis charge you as regal ds the uttering or counterfeit coin knowingly. HOUSE OF GuMMONS. June 8. The SPEAKER. took the Chair at Four o'clock. REPORTS. T. 'e report on the South Eastern Railway (North Kent and Bricklayers' Arms Junction), was brought up and swreed to. COVENTRY, BANBURY, AND OXFORD JUNCTION. Mr. DENNISTOUN moved the further consideration of the report on the Coventry, Banbury, and Oxford Junci :n Railway Bill. Sir G. CLERK objected to the motion, and stated that if it was acceded to he could not see how say objection could be offered to the existence of the broad gauge to Birmingham, Derby, or any part of the north of England. After some observations from Mr. DENNISTOUN. Mr. ELLICE supported the further consideration of the report. Mr. HUDSON thought there was no public call for the Bid, and he should therefore object to the reception of the retort. Mr. WILLIAMS said he had never seen such a lamentable degree of ignorance displayed as had just been exhibited by the Hon. Member wh,) had just sat down—(Laughter)—such lamentable ignorance that the merest boy from a Sunday-school would be ashamed of it. And he spoke of his disinterestedness. His disin. terestedness Why, the House knew what that meant. —(Laughter.) But after such a display of ignorance he would not detain the House by one word of reply to him. He (Mr. Williams) then contended that the London and North-Western was a glant monopoly, which ought to be put an end to, and therefore he should support this Bill. Colonel ANSON opposed the further consideration of the Bill. Mr. COLLINS supported the Bill. In his opinion the London and North-Western Railway was the best ma naged in the kingdom ; its fares were the lowest, and it afforded the most accommodation to the public. Mr.ELLICE said, had he been aware that this line had been offered to the London and North-Western Com pany for sale, he should have taken no part in the dis cussion. 1 ALARMING RAILWAY RIOT.—It appears from the Fifeshire papers that serious disturbances have taken place, during the last few days, among the labourers on the Edin burgh and Northern Railway. On Saturday last, being the pay day on the Gallatown section, some squabbling ensued between the Highlandmen and Irishmen, and two or three broken heads were the consequence. The police, how ever,: by apprehending some half-dozen of the ring leaders, succeeded iu restoring quietness for the night. The prisoners were lodged in the lock-up house at Path head, and on Tuesday morning last were brought into Cupar, where two of them were sentenced to forty days', and two to sixty days' imprisonment each. The case of the others being of a more serious nature is under investigation. On Sunday morning, it was evident, from the numbers banging about the streets, that there was considerable risk of a collision between the Highlanders and the Irishmen. The Irishmen turned out to the number of between sixty arc; seventy; and having sent off a dispatch to the Links of Kir kaldy for a reinforcement from their countrymen-residing there, about three o'clock a body of no fewer than about 500 marched in regular procession, with railing stobs, rails, shovels, and pokers, through Kirkaldy, till they joined their comrades, when the crowd, of one sort or other, might amount to more than 1,000. Against these, about 200 High landers, some of whom were armed with knives and dirks, marched up, but, finding their inferiority of numbers, re treated, and hence no collision took place. For a time the town was completely in the possession of these armed men. —North British Mail. t.

Last year he set early potatoes, and treated them exactly in the same way, but tl:ey became diseased or disorganised a month before this period of the season. Mr. Fowler's setting this season, treated in the same way, has been attended by a more fortunate result, their being no appearance of taint upon the , plants either above or below ground.— Galloway Advertiser. POTATOES FROM DENMARK. -0o Tuesday last Mr. Miller, from Glasgow, exposed a very fine sample of potatoes imported for seed from Denmark. They were part of a cargo of eleven tons purchased at Holstein by a brother of Mr. Miller, assisted in his selection by ea s : experienced nurseryman in that place. The sample in ciii„:- market was purchased in small lots by various parties, at the rate of I Is. per cwt., or 111. per ton.

Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS said he could prove that the line was offered by an authorised party to the London and North-Western Company at 51. premium. Mr. ROEBUCK said they ought to support the deci. si n of their Select Committee. If the Ho use h ad no confidence in these tribunals it ought to abolish them. Mr. STRU II? opposed the Bill on the ground that the line was not of sufficient importance to justify their passing it, in violation of the resol ut i ons of the House on the subject of the gauges. ROYAL ASSENT. The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar of the House and summoned it to attend the House of Lords to hear the Royal Assent given by commission to various public and private Bills (for the names of which see Lords' report). Mr. H. HINDE said that he did not think that the word gauge should be in the Bill at all, and if it were competent to him to move with , .ut having given notice he should move that the Hord " gauge" be struck ou; from the report of the Committee,*or if it were not com petent in him, wit h out having given notice, he would give notice that he 'should move that the word "gauge" , • _ - - omitted on the third r, , adiee of !la - 2 Bill. (Tle- Hcn. Mereber was nearly inauchole in consequence of the Laid cries of " Divide.") Dr. NICHOLL contendd that Parliament had con templated a future period when a deviation from the 4 feet 8 inch gauge would be necessary, and therefore be should support the decision of the Committee. Mr. STRUTT explained. Sir G. STRICKLA,ND said that where the Com mittee thought they Mold pass a line on the Wan gauge principle they hail a right to do so, and the House should support the decision. Mr. FERRAND said he thought that public B should have precedence of these private Bills. He ban attended evening after evening, and he found the House occupied with discussions on these private Bills. The amendment was then read and passed. After a few words from Mr. HODGSON, Mr. JOHN DENNISTOUN thought it better at once to decide upon the clause. O n our Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. re-admission we found— ill!

Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills, which were read a first time, LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill was read a third time and passed. IRISH ELECTIONS. Earl ST. GERMANS rose, pursuant to notice, to put a question to the Noble Marquis the Lord President of the Council, relative to polling votes at Irish elections. Their Lordships were aware that, under the existing law, the polling at Irish elections was kept open for five days, and the system was productive of great incon venience both to the electors and the elected. Now he wanted to ask the Noble Marquis if it would not be ex pedient to introduce a measure to assimilate the law of Ireland to the law of England ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE entirely agreed with all that had fallen from the Noble Lord respecting the desirableness of the shortening the time for polling is Ire land, but there were such difficulties in the way of carry ing such a measure into execution, that he was afraid nothing could be done for that purpose during the pre sent session. The subject, however, was under the con sideration of the Government, but he could not say when a measure would be brought forward respecting it. NATIONAL SCHOOLMASTERS. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that on Friday next he would move a resolution to the effect that every one in holy orders, but not « xercising any ecclesiastical function in the Established Church, should be considered eligible to the situation of schoolmaster tower the Government scheme of education THE BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY. The Earl of CiIICHESTER, the Chairman of the Commie tee appoined to investigate the allegations in the petitions presented from some of the share holders in this line by Lord Lyndhurst, reported that the Committee had met to-day (the proceedings will be found fully reported in another part of The Sun), arid that they had come to the opinion that, supposing all the allegations were proved, they could only esta blish the fact that certain parties had bought up a number of shares in the Birmingham and Oxford Company. It appeared, however to the Com mittee, that it was the intention of the Legislature that the Birmingham and Oxford, and the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, should be amalga mated, and that they should open up competition in the distriat which they were prepared to traverse. But the Committee were unwilling, without further in structions from the House, to go into further evidence, which it seemed to them would not be calculated to enable them to suggest to the Legislature any measure which might remedy the evil complained of. Lord BROUGHAM moved that the petition be printed, and that its further consideration be postponed until Friday next. Earl FITZWILLIAM thought it would be a great misfortune if the Comittee closed its labours in the way mentioned in the report. He had been much in favour of the appointment of the Committee, because he thought that through its medium they would have got at the evil, not in this particular transaction, but others of a similar kind, which prevailed in connexion with other railway companies. After some conversation the motion was agreed to. SEE OF MANCHESTER. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE la geed to lay on their Lordships table a Bill for the constitution of the new Bishopric of Manchester, and moved the first reading of the Bill, to be'read a second time on Thursday next. Lord BROUGHAM, advancing to the table, seized up the Bill as soon as it had dropped from the fingers of the Noble Marquis, and, after looking in vain for the provisions of the Bill, asked the NoblelMarquis if that was the Bill, holding up at the same time a parcel of blank paper amid shouts of laughter. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—Oh, it's a mis take.—(Rene wed laughter).
