~.- IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY . ) PAYMENT OF WAGES BILL. Sir H. HALFORD having moved the second read ing of this bill, Mr. BIGGS said he was a manufacturer in the Mid land Counties, and identified with the trade to which the bill referred, and though he thought the bill would be useless, and in some of its provisions mischievous, be should not vote at all upon the second reading, lest it should be thought he 'did so from interested motives. The distress complained of by the hon. member arose from other causes than the one be had specified. In the Midland Counties a new ma chine had been introduced, which was rapidly tending to the destruction of the old frames, and the main cause of the distress among the framework-knitters was that they would not leave their small villages and their frames and go to the lar g e manufacturin g towns, where they could get higher wages. Such was the advantage of the new machine over the old frames, that he believed the fate of the framework-knitters would be the same as . that which awaited the handloom-weavers of Lancashire . o.nd Yorkshire, when improved machinery and steam were introduced among them. He believed that if the bill were passed it would either be evaded, or become a dead letter ; but should it be put into operation he was of opinion it would ruin the whole trade. (Hear.) Mr. PACKE said that the simple object of this bill was to secure for the working man a fair day's wage for a fair day's work, which they did not get at present. He contended that the working classes in the Midland districts were treated with the greatest tyranny. At present no less than eight different charges were made on work taken in, and his week's wages materially reduced. The rent for frames was now somewhat about ls. or ls. 6d. per week ; but he believed that on a frame which •ost no more than 51., 2d. or 3d. a-week rent would be quite sufficient. He was told by the men themselves 6.at no person owning his own frame bad any chance of getting work. According to the report of the commissioner, the frames did not belong to the masters, but to butchers, bakers, publicans, gentlemen's servants, and women of various classes, and engaged in almost all sorts of trades. He should cordially support this bill, as calculated to put an end to a system of the grossest tyranny and slavery. Mr. STRUM' said that though he felt the gr eatest sympathy with the classes affected by thi s bill, and al lowing that a great number of them were interested in its success, he thought that, in considering the m e asu re , they ought to go somewhat further, and inquire whether the bill was calculated to p romote the best in terests of the working classes. He believed this branch of trade was like all others, and he was quite certain that no legislation could affect the rate of wages, which must depend, as in all other cases, upon the relation of demand and supply. The first effect of this bill would be to put an end to all domestic manufactures, and drive the trade wholly out into the towns and mills. The present system had grown up by the force of circumstances, and it was beyond the power of legislation or Government to put a violent end to it without serious injury to the working classes themselves. He did not believe himself that the case would be met by direct legislation ; but even if it could, the bill would not meet it. The only remedy which could be applied was to ameliorate the condition of the working men by Indirect taxation, and put them in a more independent position. He did not believe that the bill could be amended in committee, and he should, therefore, oppose the second reading. Mr. HUME deprecated the harsh language used by hon. gentlemen opposite towards the masters in regard to the working men. Persons who talked in such a tone were the greatest enemies to the working classes. Up to the year 1824, he admitted the working classes had great cause of complaint, but legislation had since put an end to it. Believing that this bill would put an end to the freedom of trade and bargaining between masters and men, he should move that the bill be read a second time this day six months. The Marquis of GRANBY contended that this bill would remedy the evils which it was admitted now ex isted. The bill would enable the working man to get his frames where he pleased, to go to the cheapest market and make the best bargain he could. Sir J. WALMSLEY deprecated the introduction into this discussion of a political theory. The necessity for some such measure as this was evinced by the fact that deductions were now made from the weekly wages of the working men to the amount of 25 per cent., under the pretext of frame-rents, lights, &c., so that the skilled bands could not obtain more than 6s. or 7s. a week. It was impossible for any man to exist on this pittance, and the consequence was that many of them were drove to the union for relief. In the year 1846, out of a population of little -more than 50,000 persons, there were in Leicester 10,895 persons receiving relief, at an expense of 30,000/. ; in 1847 the number had increased to 15,988, and the expense to 37,0b0/. What this bill asked was not to affect uncertain rate of wages—because working men knew very well that wages depended upon demand and supply ; but that their wages should be paid in the current coin of the realm. (Hear.) He had that day presented two petitions from his constitu ents at Leicester—one from the ratepayers and the other from the working men—in favour of this bill. They entirely repudiate all desire to interfere in the rights of property, or to prevent masters obtaining a proper interest on the capital expended in the purchase of machinery, but their object was to put an end to the excessive rent charged on their frames, and the other deductions charged on the workmen's wages. Many manufacturers had ceased to make these deduc tions, and the effect had been most beneficial on both sides. Mr. T. EGERTON said this bill would be most inju rious to the silk trade, and he thought it ought to be made a local bill. In its present shape it would most injuriously affect the large bodies of workmen en gaged in the cotton and silk trades. Mr. CARDWELL thought much misohief and not good would be effected by this bill, and therefore he should support the amendment. He believed that its effects would be a prohibition of labour to the workmen in the country, and confine it to the workmen in the towns. It was not a question of whether the case came within the scope of the truck system, but whether, when wages were the joint earnings of machine and man, an arrangement should be made between the parties, which being most beneficial to 'the master should enable him to let his frames at the cheapest rate to the working man. He strongly advised the house to reject the second reading of this bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the bill. Mr. GARDNER said that the talents and philan thropy of the hon. baronet would be better employed in endeavouring to persuade the working classes of the ne cessity of some legislation of this sort, and of the advisa bility of bringing up their children to some more profit able trade. Lord J. MANNERS supported the second reading of the bill, and declared that it was approved of by the majority of the working classes who were in any way in wrested in the measure. The masters were di vided on the subject, but, on the whole, the great mass of the petitions were favourable to the bill, and the house ought to have no difficulty in passing the second reading. The supporters of this bill had been denounced by the opponents of the bill as the rabble of great towns, but as a country gentleman, and a member of the Tory party, he utterly repudiated that idea, and hoped the working classes would now be able to distin guish between their friends and their enemies. Mr. WHALLEY said the middle class was just as much entitled to consideration at the hands of the house as the working classes, and he could see no reason for inflicting injustice upon the former for the sake of henefitting the latter. Mr. CHEATHAM opposed the bill, on the ground that it would be an unjust interference with trade. Colonel BLAIR supported the bill. Mr. MUNTZ said this was one of those questions which the house could not understand, because it con tained no practical men. (A laugh.) During the last 45 years no man had done more to benefit the working classes than himself. He had made great sacrifices in their favour, but if they anticipated any benefit from this bill, he was very much afraid they would be disappointed. He was apprehensive, however, that they would be just as much disappointed if the bill was thrown out, and he would, [therefore, suggest that the dispute should be ended by referring the bill to a select committee. Mr. L. HEYWORTH argued that the house would do more good to the working classes by extending the principles of free trade, and removing the restrictions on commerce, than by wasting time on this useless bill. Sir H. HALFORD, who had charge of the bill, said he should be quite ready to send the bill to a select cam mitten if the house would only consent to read it a second time. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading 125 Against it lB6 Majority 6l The bill was accordingly thrown out. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the bill. He bad uaderstood that this bill was intended to interpret the law of combinations as it now stood, but upon look ing over the bill, he found that it went a great deal fur ther, much further, indeed, than public safety or expedi ency demanded. He must, therefore, move as an amend ment, that the bill be read a third time this day six months. - Mr. BUTT seconded the amendment. _ 1 ., 1 1 DRUMMOND supported the bill. '-iurn PALMERSTON opposed the bill on the same grounds stated by the Solicitor-General. Mr. 11 * CHA MBERS said when the bill was first in troduced, it was ground that it simply by the Government, on the could do no harm, explained the law as it sto o d, an d Indeed, it was said then that the bill was so unnecessary that it it would be only encumber ing the Statute Bookto 5! it, whil e now i t was sa id t a h w e b i Now bill not , t there only must be me explainsaos unnecessary ed but entire l y altered the inconsistency in this. First it was said the bill w explained the l aw as it u SZ: , c o e :i sarY because it - understood, but now it was saidthatthe went nt wa fu s r w th e e l r l :and entirely altered the law. Ile Contended, however,th that it did no such thing ; it simply so that the workmae should be removed from a s e t a t l e aw , grioubt and uncertainty, and that, he insisted, was only just and fair. Two learned judges, one at Liverpool and .one .one at Stafford, had laid down two different rules as to -the meaning of the law, and all that this bill would de was s imply to remove the doubt which this difference of opinion had given rise to. All that this bill provided for was this. In a time of prosperity, and while t ra d e w any other time, the bill provided a s flourishing ' or at dd . th ff • iscuss e a airs that it should be lawful to meet an v/ tor. their trade t , h ii a . nd afterwards to communicate I ,tif. ----the-, result of e deliper k, at_io , n u s A,... t 9 o 4 t h he a i d i , workgrah Now i 00 " ‘l6 down that this latter proceeding was contrary to law, but it was no such thing, and all that this bill did was to declare as much. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE complained of the course which the Government was taking. It was most unjust for them to reserve their opposition until the third reading ; but since the question in dispute appeared to be simply one of interpreting the law, he called upon the house to follow the dictates of common sense, and send the bill to be disposed of by the Lord Chancellor and the other law lords of the other house. Mr.. HUME said it appeared to him that the law was involved in great doubt, and as the working classes had evinced such a strong disposition to obey the law, it was only right that the legal doubts which surrounded them should be cleared up. Mr. WILSON suggested that this debate should be adjourned; the question was one of so much importance that it required further consideration. Mr. HUME moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. GEACH said the masters had a right to meet and combine for the protection of their own interests, and why should not the workmen be possessed of the same privilege ? • Loid J. IiUSSELL could hold out no hope of the bill being supported by the Government on a future day. Mr. S. WORTLEY hoped the noble lord would throw no obstacle in the way of the adjournment of the debate. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE could see no necessity for ad jamming the debate. It would be much better to divide upon the principle of the bill at once. Mr. HUME wished to withdraw his motion for the adjournment of the debate. Mr. KINLOCK said there was no body of men so dangerous as the peaceable persuaders of working men, and as this bill would have the effect of encouraging their nefarious proceedings, he hoped the house would unanimously reject it. The house then dvided, when there appeared— For the adjournment lO2 121 Against it Majority It being now six o'clock, the Speaker declared tht house adjourned. STATE OF TRADE. ( Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, May 3.—We are informed by the Euro pa's advices of the 20th ult., that the total receipts of cot ton at the American ports amounted to 2,884,303 bales, against 2,521,268 at the corresponding period of last year; leaving an excess of 363,035 bales. The southern markets were rather dearer; strict middling being quoted 101 c. to 104 c. per lb. ; freight, Id. to 5-16. The fall ing off in the receipts, according to the above accounts, is not equal to that which, we were informed by the previous steamer, had been telegraphed. But the har dening in price at the southern ports has had the effect of sustaining the firmness of the Liverpool market, in which there is, too, rather more inquiry from the trade. In this market the sellers of yarns and goods have been so far influenced by the same cause as to be, in general, harder to deal with than they were last week. Buyers are freer at giving out orders, at fully previous rates ; but they are disposed to pay even the small advance asked for yarn and cloth, which has therefore been only partially ob tained. On the whole, the market must be reported as rather dearer. For the East, rather more business has been done. ROCHDALE, MAY 2.—The piece market has been more inactive, fewer buyers have attended, and a more limited amount of business has been transacted than on the previous Monday. For what has been sold the manu facturers have obtained good prices. English wools are scarce, and the dealers continue to demand a small advance. HALIFAX, April 30.—Very little business has been done to-day in our piece hail, either in plain or fancy goods ; and there is no noticeable change in yarns or wools. The high prices tend greatly to check transac tions in every (department of the worsted trade, from the raw material up to the finished goods. HUDDERSFIELD, May 3.—Business continues good for the advanced stats of the season, but we believe that orders on hand are mostly for the home trade. Makers continue to be well employed. Checks and unions are mostly in request, and fancy wollens generally ; indeed the fancy trade at present is extremely busy. There is a falling off in the demand for low quality goods, which may perhaps be accounted for, that the shipping houses generally are quiet. BIRMINGHAM, May 2.—During the past fortnight, the ill-advised policy of the resolutions adopted at the late preliminary meeting of the iron trade, has been developed in the exhibition of shaken confidence, diminished demand, and a determination on the part of dealers to contend to the utmost for further concession. These are the usual results of a first downward step ; and, although they are at present chiefly felt by the more needy makers, whose employment is regulated by daily demand. if the maintenance of prices depended upon the firmness and resolution even of our first rate manufacturers, there would be little hope of the result. But fortunately, as we beforehand have stated, there are other circumstances to uphold the interests of the trade on the present occasion, and such as are generally supposed to be equal t- the neces sity. The universal abundance of the circulating medium —the enormous aggregate of railways in construction — the increasing application of iron to maritime uses, and the extended facilities of supplying it to foreign countries, joined with the scarcity of labour in the face of extraor dinary high rates of wages, and the diminished produc tion of materials, are among the grounds for the very prevalent expectation—not only general in this country, but on the other side the Atlantic also—that the pre sent slackness is both temporary and artificial. THE LATE DEAN OF PETERBOROUGH. The death of Dr. Butler, the venerable Dean of Pe terborough, which took place on Saturday last, must not be left to the brief and passing notice of our obituary. The prominent station he has occupied during a long life, and the personal regard in, which he was held by a numerous body of pupils and friends, may well excuse a somewhat fuller account of his earthly career. George Butler,. son of the Rev. Weeden Butler, was born in Pimlico, July 5, 1774. In 1790 he commenced his residence as an undergraduate in Sidney Sussex Col lege, Cambridge. In January, 1794, being then only 19 years old, he was Senior Wrangler and Senior Smith's Prizeman of his year, Lotd Lyndhurst (then Mr. Copley, of Trinity College) being in each case second to him. In the following year he travelled (principally on foot) through a great part of Germany, where he became ac quainted with Klopstock, Schiller, Goethe, and other eminent literary men, On his return to Cambridge he commenced the study of the law, keeping his terms at Lincoln's-inn, and was on the point of being called to the bar, when he was appointed to the mathematical lectureship of his college —a circumstance which eventually altered the whole direction of his life. In 1802 he again went abroad, as tutor to the late Mr. Blatchford, of Osborne-house, Isle of Wight ; tra velling on this occasion through France, Italy, and Sicily. He was subsequently elected Fellow of his college, took holy orders, and shortly after became a select preacher before the University. In 1805 he was elected head master of Harrow School ,vacated by the resignation of Dr. Drury), and entered upon his duties there in the same year. In 1814 he was presented by his college to the rectory of Gayton, in Northamptonshire. He continued in his arduous office at Harrow until 1829, when, after a head-mastership of four-and-twenty years, he retired to the living of Gayton, and devoted himself with the same unwearied energy to the duties of a parish priest. He effected the restoration of his church, was active in preaching and parochial visiting, and filled an important position in the diocess generally, as chairman of meetings of the clergy, and the promoter of every useful and benevolent work. In 1836 he became Chancellor of the diocese, and in 1842 was appointed by Sir Robert Peel to the vacant deanery of Peterborough. In the latter office he con tinued till his death, discharging its duties to their fullest extent, and preaching constantly in the cathedral till his health failed him. Few men could compete with him in versatility of mind, and in the variety of his accomplishments. Besides his great mathematical attainments, he was also a dis tinguished classical scholar, and spoke German, French, and Italian with correctness and fluency. He was practically versed in chemistry and other branches of physical science. He was a good musician and draughts man ; and he excelled in all athletic exercises, being one of the best skaters, fencers, swimmers, &c., of his time. A remarkable example of his bodily activity, as well as of the kindness of his heart, was given in very advanced life, when, in the month of January, 1843, with snow on the groped, he plunged into a canal (by the side of which he was accidentally riding) to res cue a woman from drowning—an exploit for which he received a medal from the Royal Humane Society. His affection for Harrow School, in the service of which so many or the most active years of his life had been passed, amounted to a passion. He maintained with his successors (three of whom he lived to see) a constant and most friendly intercourse ; and one of his latest and fondest labours was the preparation (with no httle pains and skill) of a selection of the lists of the school from 1770 to 1826, appending to them his own annotations upon the later fortunes of those whose school-lire is there recorded. He had the happiness of living to witness the distin guished honours of his four sons at the university ; and the last weeks of his life were marked by the unexampled occurrence of the election of his two younger sons to university scholarships, almost simultaneously, the one at Oxford and the other at Cambridge. His latter years, though necessarily less active, were no less happy than the earlier. It was in 1849 that his fatal disease (of the heart) first declared itself. A gra dual failure of eyesight ended in almost total blindness. But his patience, cheerfulness, and thankfulness never failed. Within an hour of his last seizure he had spoken of his many recent blessings, adding, " How long it will last I cannot tell ; I feel something here " (placing his hand on his heart) " which tells me it will not be for long." His death was quite sudden. He was seated at a table with his family, and, after ten minutes of insensi hiltty, passed alway almost without a struggle.

The densely-crowded streets testified to the undimi nished popularity and attraction of the Chester Cup. The vicinity of the betting-room was completely obstructed, and so great was the increasing throng of visitors that the " rows" were rendered almost impassable. Until noon special trains arrived in rapid succession, but so efficient were the arrangements at the railway station, and so ably were they carried out under the superintendence of the station-master, Mr. Critchley, that disorder and confusion were effectually avoided. The scene on the Roodee was of the most animated and striking description. The Grand and Dee Stand were chokefull, and swarms of spectators clustered on the slopes and walls, and filled the windows of the neigh bouring houses. The weather was all that could be desired for the occasion. The preparations for the start for the Cup were regarded with the most eager curiosity, and the preliminary canters of the competitors were watched with intense interest. The drawing of lots for places was judiciously discontinued. The start was, however, so unfairly made that it is to be hoped that the disapprobation which was expressed will at length prove to Mr. Topham the necessity of having the respon sible duties of his office properly discharged in future. After much tedious delay, which considerably heightened the prevailing excitement, the flag was finally lowered, and the race commenced. The result was unexpectedly favourable to the "fielders," Goldfinder, the winner, never having figured either frequently or conspicuously in the betting.

After a delay of upwards of 20 minutes, a very straggling start was made, several horses being so far in the rear that they had no chance of making up lost ground. Timid Fawn took the lead, with Scarecrow second, and Talfourd third, Trifle, Retail, Goldfinder, Snowdon Dunhill, and Lord Lieutenant being in front of the ruck, Peggy a long way behind them. After rounding the turn into the Dee side of the course, Trifle took third place, Talfourd, Lord Lieutenant, Retail, Missive, and Goldfinder heading the next lot. At the lower turn Scarecrow was in full possession of the lead, with Trifle second, Timid Fawn third, Talfourd, Lord Lieutenant, and Goldfinder well up. No change of moment occurred in these positions until they re-entered the further side of the course, when Lord Lieutenant drew into the third place, but at the T.Y.C. post he dropped off, and the race from this point was with Trifle, Talfourd, Scarecrow, and. Goldfinder. Scarecrow gave way at the. Grosvenor Post. Trifle was beaten at the distance. Goldfinder then challenged Talfourd, and a fine race with the two ended in favour of Goldfinder by half a neck, the second beating the third by a length. Scarecrow was fourth..

APROPOS OF WAGES.—A remarkable feature of the times is the advanced, and still advancing, price of nearly all the necessaries of life, both in articles of food and clothing— a circumstance which, coupled with the call for labour of every description in the colonies, and the other numerous inducements to emigration, has led to a general demand for enhanced wages on the part of the workmen in different portions of the kingdom. This feeling was first exhibited to a great extent by the porters and labourers upon some of the most important of the midland and northern railways. It was followed by similar demands from other inferior railway servants, by dock labourers and ship wrights in the north, and even by the agricultural labourers in several counties. In some cases the con cessions required by the men have been yielded, and in others their claims are still under consideration. Dis putes between employers and employed are always of a most painful character. They result in injury to both parties. The master usually suffers in his pocket, and the man not unfrequently in his person, for] strikes and combinations arise, and he places himself within the meshes of the law. But it is the delight of a good master to let his servants share in his own prosperity; and where large masters are thriving and flourishing, the propriety cannot be too strongly urged upon them of volunteering to their men some slight addition to their wages. Liberal landlords reduce their rents when prices are low ; why should not liberal em ployers of labour increase their wages when prices are high ? Prudence and kindly feeling, and also abstract justice, dictate this step. It would be a graceful and becoming act, it would strengthen the feeling and con nection which it is so desirable to cultivate between the classes ; and such a timely concession would prevent de mands of an exorbitant and outrageous character, which, if this be delayed too long, will unquestionably be made. —Edinburgh Advertiser.

THE PROGRESS OF OCEANIC STEAM COMMUNICATIONS. (From the Sydney Herald.) Vast and all-pervading as have been the leading inci dents in those changes which are rapidly spreading a more humane feeling over the sentiments of civilised man • important as have be en th e even t s an d va l ua bl e the discoveries which are knitting the whole family of mankind into closer intercourse—they could not have received that full and extraordinary development, to which all communities are now turning with mutual con gratulations but for the discovery and wonderful appli cation of steam power—the great civiliser, the right hand of industry, the agent of peace and promoter of good-will and friendly intercourse between nations. It is not our present object to refer to the facilities by which this ele ment is adapted to creative purposes ; to the multiplying the productions of genius and industry ; to the relieving human labour from many hard, tedious, and repulsive employments. We shall confine our remarks to some consideration of that grand field of its action to which no other limit can be assigned than the bounds of the globe. From the moment that the breadth of the Atlantic was found no bar to the exercise of its power, it was clearly seen that steam would not stop in its triumph until it had encompassed the world. "At the green earth's furthest verge," the colonists of New South Wales have neces sarily bad great difficulties to contend with in realising to themselves the certainty of this important final result ; nor has the Government of the mother country (ad vanced as she is in the knowledge and use of this vast power) shown any great alacrity in enabling this distant colony to enter upon the path to which the foresight and energy of its sons knew how to point, but could not fol low, unaided and unencouraged. At length the unceas ing representations of the local Legislature and the local press, and, above all, the wonderful discoveries of our gold fields, compelled the British Government to yield its tardy conviction, and to take steps to extend the benefits of this new means of ocean navigation to the colonies of Australasia. We have just observed that steam is the "agent of peace ;" but that it is also one of the most powerful agents of war seems to have been a fact chiefly kept in view by the British Government, when calling for tend ers for mail steam contracts for the ocean service be tween England and Australasia. We must remind our readers that for some years before the latter tenders were called for, England had extensive mail contracts for steam communication with the Peninsula and the East, with North America, the West Indies, the Pa cific, and the Cape of Good Hope • and that, when steam to Australia w as ser i ous l y reso lved upon, it was stated that the mother country employed in the trans portation of her ocean mails about 120 steam-ships, of an aggregate tonnage of 96,000 tons. In the policy of encouraging the wealthy companies which had under taken these contracts to build for these great ocean lines, vessels that were convertible at the pleasure of the Go vernment into efficient men-of-war, was involved the principle of naval expansion, and the sinews of that ma ritime strength which has rendered Great Britain the greatest power on the ocean that the world ever saw. In illustration of the effects of this policy look at the almost incredible fact that, during the late Burmese war, seven of the powerful Bombay mail steamers were in three days completely fitted out with armaments and troops and dispatched to Rangoon. In a word, the objects of the English Government in respect to the construction, the appointments, the arrangement, and the distribution of this formidable armament of steam ships have been twofold To have at its command a sufficient number of these vessels so constructed that they may be almost immediately converted into men-of war of the first class. 2. To keep up regular lines of communication between all the great commercial cities on the face of the globe, and so to form by these exten sive steam lines a vast net work covering every ocean and every sea, yet constructed and kept in successful operation by private enterprise and private wealth. Ca pitalists have been induced to invest the money neces sary to establish this stupendous system of ocean steam communication by the heavy contracts entered into with Government for the transportation of mails—a system of encouraging and stimulating private enterprise, which the United States are now following under the firm conviction of its wise policy. We have deemed it necessary to offer these prelimi nary remarks, because, as Sydney has many reasons to be dissatisfied with the unsuccessful passages made by the steam-ships which arrived in Port Jackson during the past year, it nay not be without its use to suggest political reasons why England will not be likely to with draw financial support from the companies who are now forwarding their vessels by the Singapore and Cape routes ; while, on the other hand, it will be our duty to show that by throwing a third belt of steam communi cation round the world, and by subsidising a line by the western route vi?l Panama, the political, commercial, and social obj ec t s o f G rea t Britain will be most mate rially advanced, and every interest of the most impor tant and influential portions of Australasia, continental and insular, fostered and benefitted. The dissatisfaction which Sydney has loudly expressed at the unsuccessful passages made by the mail steamers since the first arrival of the first pioneer in August last will be easily understood by a perusal of the following memoranda : " The Chusan, belonging to the Peninsular and Orien tal Company, arrived in Port Jackson on the 3d of August last, having left Southampton on the ,16th of May, the Cape of Good Hope on the 29th of June, and Melbourne on the Ist of August. This passage of 79 days, including detentions, was hailed as an auspicious commencement of the new system ; the more especially as it had been made in spite of some heavy weather be tween Table Bay and Cape Otway. " On the Bth of September the first mail ship, the Australian, dispatched by the other contracting parties, the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, arrived, having left Plymouth on the sth June, Table Bay on the 22d of July, King George's Sound on the 24th of August, Adelaide on the 29th, and Melbourne on the 6th of September; thus accomplishing the pass age in 95 days, including the detention in the various ports ea route of 151 days. A few hours before the Australian's arrival we had received London and New York news (only a few days older than that broughtby our mail steamer) and which had reached us by the cir cuitous route of Liverpool, Halifax, New York, Aspin wall, Panama, Acapulco, San Diego, San Francisco, and the Sandwich Islands ; the whole running time hav ing been 92 days, the detentions 10. " On the 22d of October, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer the Formosa, arrived after a fair passage of 76 days. " On the 16th of November, the second of the Aus tralian Royal Mail Company's steamers, the Sydney, arrived, after a voyage extending to 104 days from the date of her leaving Plymouth. She brought 3,017 let ters and 25,000 newspapers, the dates of which ranged from the Ist of June to the 31st of July. A few August papers were procured at Melbourne from the Great Britain, which had arrived there before the Sydney left ; but, excepting these, not one item of news was brought by the latter which had not already reached us by sailing vessels direct from England, or by the way of New York, Panama, and New Zealand. On the very morning of the Sydney's arrival the Vimiera, which left Portsmouth five days after the former's departure from Plymouth, entered Port Jackson ; and in the after noon the ship Exchange arrived from San Francisco, bringing us dates from New Orleans to the 22d, from New York to the 20th, and from London and Paris to the 4th of August. "On the 27th of November the Great Britain (placed on the line by a private company) arrived, after a tedious voyage of 98 days, her detentions at the miserable coal depots having been of the most vexatious character. "But a more annoying proof of the uncertainty of the new steam arrangements was yet to come. On the 10th of December the Chusan (which had sailed hence at the latter end of August last for Singapore, via Port Philip, Adelaide, King George's Sound, and Batavia, with the view of acting in conjunction with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's steamers from Singapore to England, via Egypt) returned to Sydney. Her. English dates were to the 24th of September ; but she brought us the unwelcome tidings, that when she arrived at Sin gapore with the Australian mails she was three days too late for the other steamer, and that thereby the letters forwarded by her would not reach England before the middle of December—say 110 days from the date of their being posted here. " The next arrival from England was the Sarah Sands (dispatched by a private company), anchoring here on the 24th of December, after a passage, vitt the Cape of Good Hope and Melbourne, of 97 days, including detentions of 151 days. " The last of these steam voyages which we have to include in this memorandum is that of the Cleopatra, which arrived here on the sth instant. She also is the property of a private company. She left Plymouth on the 7th of September, and having, like her predecessors, had erroneous calculations made for her as to calling, her detentions at Madeira, St. Vincent, Table Bay, Ade laide, and Melbourne, included 36 days, and thereby ex tended her protracted voyage, in so far as Sydney was concerned, to the unusual period of 120 days, just double the time in which we had hoped before this to see the distance between Sydney and Plymouth performed. "On the day following the Cleopatra's conclusion of her long voyage, the Beejapore, a noble ship of 1,676 tons, entered Port Jackson, having performed the voy- age from Liverpool in 84 days, and bringing us 37 days' later news than we had received by the Cleopatra. " The commanders of each of the steam-ships which great changes in the arrangements the pre sent have already visited these s hores have adm d itted that coaling an required touching at the southern and western effected hereg b a e r f d o ed re e a i s th a e n r the Singapore or the Cape route can be regarded as an ad. line for steam comm unication between Eng land and New South Wales. We have already adverted to the political reasons which wi ll p revent En g land from abandoning either of these r outes ; but we will add the u expression of our belief that a wise and provident Go vernment will soon add to its dependence upon them. In the event of a war in Europe, or convulsion in the Mediterranean, the Cape route would not add to Eng land's present dependence on the Isthmus of Suez ; it would be a mere negative advantage. But the western route, by the Isthmus of the Americas, would secure an alternative line ; wo, and with Calcutt a of but a few days' one which, as regards C hina, is the speedier of the t difference. It would therefore pro ve of the very highest importance to the empire, and to the securit y of Eng land's intercourse with India, China, and Australasia, thaht this isthmian route should be adopted. By pro moting postal intercourse and traffic with her Australian post essions this way, England would perfect her system of nian-of-war steamers, constructed by mercantile com panies, with a trifling bounty from Government, ready for any adverse public contingency, but manned and sailed in time of peace on private account. It is the more inaportant that this step should be at once seriously con sidered and taken, as American steam ships are likely saps to crop all parts of the Pacific under Gruen:mot subsidies ; and unless our own rulers encourage and foster in like manner British enterprise in these seas the whole trade of the Pacific may become what America boasts it will their inheritance.' In the recent report from the committee on American naval affairs presented to the House of Representatives the fact of Oregon and California being now 'Americanised' is forcibly dwelt upon, and the House is reminded that Bombay, Cal cutta, and Singapore, and the ports of China, Japan, the Australias, Polynesia, and the islands of the East are many thousand miles nearer to the United States than they are to England." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—May 4. (Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant Judge at Clerkenwell) John Judd, a young man having the appearance of a labourer, was indicted for having unlawfully assaulted Mary Colston, with intent, &c. While Mr. Parry was stating the case, it was inti mated that the defendant would plead guilty to the charge of common assault. The Assistant Judge said the view he took of these cases was, that it did not follow that if a man committed an assault of this description, he had the intention of ob taining his object by force if resistance was offered, un less such a conclusion was inevitable from the evidence. After some discussion, the defendant pleaded guilty to the second and third counts of the indictment. The Assistant Judge then read the depositions, from which it appeared that the prosecutrix, a girl about 19, living with her mother, a widow, at No. 3, Angel court, Shoreditch, had been keeping company with the defendant for about six weeks prior to the transaction, which led to the present prosecution. On the evening of the 23d April he called at her mother's house, and re quested her to take a walk with him, and she consented, on his promising to take care of her. They went to the Victoria-park. On arriving there. about ten o'clock, and before they had gone far, he suddenly threw her down, placed one hand on her mouth, and with the other dis arranged her dress. She screamed out loudly, in conse quence of which he desisted and went away. She fol lowed him in the hope that he was going out of the park as she did not know the way, when he suddenly turned round and repeated his conduck with the exception that he did -not disarrange ber dress. She succeeded in getting from him, and begged of him to take her home, but the only answer he made was one of a very gross description. She again begged of him to take her home, upon which he conducted himself in a most indecent manner. He then went away, and she followed him out of the park, after which he asked her to drink with him, but she refused, she told a female she met, named Stepto, what had happened, and seeing her in conversation with her the defendant came up and used a very base expres sion. This female, who lived at No. 4, Grove-street, Hackney, took her home with her, and informed her husband what had taken place, and he went out to look for the defendant, but, could not find him. The prosecu trix was placed in the dare of a park-keeper, who took her to Cripplegate, and subsequently a warrant was ob tained for the defendant's apprehension. Her mouth bled very much. Mr. Cooper said there was no doubt an assault had been committed by the defendant, but he desisted when he found the prosecutrix refused compliance. The de fendant pleaded guilty to the assault, and deeply regretted that it had occurred. He had a great affection for her, and had it not been that he had been drinking, in all probability it would not have taken place. A witness gave the defendant a good moral character. The Assistant Judge, after conferring with Mr. Witham, sentenced the defendant to three months' im prisonment. Ephraim Hill was indicted for having assaulted Sarah Peto, Susan Price, and William Halsworth. The defendant went with a prostitute named Price to a brothel kept by the prosecutrix Peto in the Vinegar ground, St. Luke's, and having a dispute with her, Mrs. Pete interfered, whereupon he assaulted them both with a poker, and also assaulted Halsworth, a constable, whO was called to the spot. Mr. Horry addressed the jury for the defendant, and called two witnesses, whose evidence went to show that the defendant was not the aggressor, but really the aggrieved party. fig The jury found the defendant Guilty of the assault on Peto and the constable, and the Court sentenced him to two months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—John, Whaley, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Butcher and Co., of Nos. 115 and 116, Bishopgate-street, wholesale confectioners, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of that firm. Tradesmen from different parts of the town proved that they had paid money to the prisoner on account of his employers in the year 1852, and evidence was brought forward to show that none of these sums, the aggregate of which was stated to be very considerable, had been paid into the concern. The plan adopted by the prisoner for keeping up the process of imposition, of which it may be useful too masters of extensive business to be informed, may be said, from the evidence of one of the principals, to be briefly as follows : There is a book called the till-book in which sums are entered as received, wl iich are carried to the cash-book. The prisoner had omit ted to book entries in either of these books, but in the ledger he had given credit for the whole amount received. by him, and by such means he had for a considerable i line eluded detection, and it was not until a full invest igation of all the books, which occupied a month, was made, that the fraud was dis- I severed. The prisoner, who er ktered the service of the house in 1850, had tried his fort une in betting-houses, and told the officer who apprehe ceded him that he had been too extravagant. Committed for trial. Frederick Meir Bruck: and Wilhelmina Bruck, charged with having stolen a dir kmond ring in the shop of Messrs. Williams and Clapham, in the Strand, jewellers, were brought up for further ( xamination. It will be recollected hat the two prisoners had sepa rately tried to pawn the . diamond ring at different shops in Aldgate, and that the 3 r hail been watched and taken into custody by Baldwin and Finnes, of the City detec tive police. Finnes produced sixtee n duplicates, which he had found in a box in the room of t he female prisoner, in a house in Pulford-street, Pimlico, . and a waistcoat piece. Mr. Edward Watson , of King-street, Cheapside, watchmaker and jewelli 3r, said on the 13th of April the prisoners came to my shop and asked to see 'some enamelled brooche s and rings which were then on the counter. I sho wed them the articles. They said the brooches were such as they required. The male prisoner took a , ring out of the tray and put it on the hand of the female, and said it was too large. I believed at the time that he put back the ring into the tray. He then obeerved that I did not appear to have the kind of stool i he wished for, but if I would call upon him by ten or a quarter past ten o'clock next morning, with a differ en t kind of stock, he would make a selection. I said L did not know who he was, or where he lived, and ho :must therefore give me his name and address. I the' I • took up an envelope and wrote upon it, by his direr' - do n, " Mr. Smith, 14, Finsbury square," and he loo' ae GI. at it and said it was correct. He stated he had bee a 'before in my house, and that he had bought a ring fro ,m, as he supposed, my son. My son came in just as la, ;departed, and in consequence of a communication from : biro, I sent him to No. 14, Finsbury square, to inquire a titer the man, and I subsequently took stock and misse d a valuable diamond ring. - _ Upon his cross-ex inclination by the solicitor for the prisoners, the witnes t said—Stock was taken in January last. It occupies thi et; weeks generally. I had no other ring of the kind 110 st in the shop. It was a mourning ring, and could be t lasily identified. I did not miss it till my son spoke to me, and brought my recollection to it. I did not obsery e that it was in the tray when I showed the rings to the prisoner. Mr. Edward Wat ton, jun., son of the last witness, said—l saw the prisoners in the shop on the 13th of April. They had be o_n there about a fortnight before. I spoke to my father ;about them. I saw a tray of rings on the counter, and - upon examining it I missed the ring immediately. .had seen the ring, to the best of my belief, two days 1 a-eviously. I had not sold it, and as soon as I proved t o my father that it was missing, I went to No. 14, Fin sb ury-square ' to make inquiry, but I could find no such p erson as Mr. Smith. I then gave a description of the pi isoners at the police-office. My mother and sister ai n occasionally in the shop. We cannot positively say the ring was in the shop when the prisoners came in. E< he ring was a mourning ring, with a brilliant and the H all mark, and with a stone set in a sort of shield. The Lord Mayor s aid the thieves had lately made awful plunder among js t the jewellers, and expressed a hope that there wou)td be a full attendance of spectators on Saturday next, ti 11 which day he remanded the pr, Boners.

Solomons', opticians, 39, Albemare-street, Piccadilly—observe, opposite the York Hotel.—A valu able, newly-invented very small powerful waistcoat pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one mile and a half distant; they answer every purpose on the racecourse, at the opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Telescopes possessing such extraordinary powers that some, 33 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a per son's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat pocket, and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and race course glasses with wonderful power; a minute object can be clearly seen, from 10 to 12 miles distant. Invaluable newly-invented spectacles, immediately they are placed before extremely imperfect vision, that mist and dullness which appears before the eyes is at once removed, every ob ject appears clear and distinct, so that the most aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youth ful, natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery— The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary, powerful, small, newly-invented instrument, for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears are entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B.
