The house then went into committee upon this bill, Mr. W. PATTEN in the chair. On Clause 1, Mr. BARROW proposed an amendment to the effect that the power of justices should be limited to their acting in open petty sessions. Mr. FITZROY said the amendment would entirely defeat the object of the bill, which was to give the ma gistrate power to adjudicate upon a case when the in juries sustained by the woman were recent. If the amendment were agreed to it would occasion delay, and the result would be that in nine cases out of ten; the woman would not come forward. Mr. HENLEY was opposed to a man being con demned except in a court where he could have an oppor tunity of obtaining legal advice. After a few words in explanation from Mr. BARROW, Captain SCOBELL objected to the extraordinary power which the clause would confer on the magistrates. Mr. PACKE said the same power was already given to magistrates with regard to offenders charged with having stolen fruit and vegetables. After some further discussion, Mr. BARROW withdrew his amendment. Mr. STAPLETON rose to propose an amendment, having for its purpose to give this power to magistrates in all cases of aggravated assaults, without regard to the sex or age of the person assaulted. Mr. FITZROY said that this bill was intended to meet a particular kind of assault, and any provision, therefore, having reference to the whole subject of as saults in general, could not consistently be introduced into it. Mr. W. PATTEN said that it was not competent to introduce any provision having reference to other as saults than those upon women and children. The amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. PHINN rose to propose amendments for the pur pose of giving the magistrate the power of inflicting cor poral punishments on persons guilty of these assaults. He contended that these assaults were of a nature quite worthy of this kind of punishment, and it was the opinion of magistrates in the metropolis that there would'be no end to these offences unless the legislature gave them the power of inflicting corporal punishment. There was cer tainly a strong feeling against corporal punishment, but he believed from past experience that the power of in flicting it would be used with great discretion by the magistrates. He proposed to accompany the power with a proviso that this punishment should not be in flieted before eight days conviction, and that in 24 hours -after the conviction the depositions should be transmitted :to the dlome-office, in order to give the friends of the 'prisoner an opportunity of making an appeal against the ( conviction if they wished. Mr. FITZROY objected to the amendment on the ground that it was quite inconsistent with the feeling of , the present age and the spirit of modern legislation. Such punishments had always a brutalising effect upon the commnnity among whom they were inflicted. He thought, too, that the enacting of such punishment would have th e e ff ect of deterring ' the persons who suf fered these a ssau l ts from bringing forward complaints. Mr. NEWDEGATE said nothing could stop the ' - force of public opinion, and the more directly Parl'a me nt.met these cases th e more contented the public I would be. He should ther e f ore support the amend- ' merit. Captain SCOBELL was sorry to disagree with his learned colleague, but Ile could not support this clause. He was 'afraid his hon. and learned friend had never siva a man cogged, or be would not propose to resort to "A larger amount of business than usual has occurred in foreign securities. The character of transactions shows that low priced descriptions have been principally purchased. Spanish Unfunded Certificates and Greek ex over-due Coupons have been favourities, and the rise they have experienced have been well supported. The reason of the favourable change in both cases may be traced to almost parallel circumstances. Spanish Certi ficates, it is stated, are to be admitted at the rate of 10 per cent. in the proposed new loan, and hence up to they have found free buyers, although they are scarcely so high at this moment. With respect to Greek, the quotation of which has been supported at 9, negotiations for the introduction of railway enterprise into the coun try have, it is believed, been made, the terms of which stipulate for a recognition of these bonds at a fixed value. Those who were acquainted with the proposals bought largely, at prices varying from 7 to BA, but at 9 these transactions have apparently stopped, and it is therefore presumed that the maximum point has been nearly reached. Spanish Stocks generally have been operated in to some extent, but the certificates have clrried away the chief of the business. The Three per Cents. are 48/ to 49, the New Deferred 241 to 25, and the Passive 51 to 6. Mexican, under the most dis couraging appearances of affairs in that republic, have not fluctuated violently, but the extreme advance has not been supporters. The speculators for the fall have not recently had the courage to continue their trans actions, having already suffered severely from previous losses, and the market consequently has been relieved from any such adverse operations. The latest quotation is 251 to 261. Ecuador has steadily advanced, until it has touched 51 to 6. No definite arrange ment has, it seems, been come to for a settlement of claims, the commissioner having been compelled to re fuse the terms offered ; but the alleged discovery of gold within the precincts of the Government has awakened a hope that if such resources exist they will expedite an arrangement. New Grenada and Venezuela arc also better, quiet purchases having been made by individuals who consider that the development of various kinds of enterprise in these localities cannot fail before long to have an influence upon their credit. Russian were con siderably affected by the apprehension of hostilities with Turkey. Both the five and the four-and - -a-half per cents. dropped directly the intimation was conveyed, and the decline was indeed the precursor of the panic that then took place. A range of fluctuations in these stocks, equal to 3 per cent., is an event seldom witnessed, and, as long as the least apprehension was entertained, bar gains were concluded for a large amount. The quota tions have since recovered, and they are respectively 118 to 119 and 103 to 104. Singular as it may appear, it is nevertheless true, that Turkish scrip, in the midst of this excitement, suffered no depression. On the contrary, it was throughout firmly maintained, and subsequenty went up from 1/ to 2/, upon an arrangement of the demands of the bondholders having, it is said, been'-agreed to. Although it is understood an attempt is being made to re-orgarise the Bank of Constantinople, difficulties may yet interfere to prevent the realisation of the plans con templated. The price has since become weaker, no offi cial announcement having been made, and is about 2 to 2 3 / 4 prem. Swedish continues heavy at 2to 1 3 / 4 - discount, and were it not largely held as an investment, would show a further decline. Danish; Dutch, and Brazilian have exhibited little alteration. Buenos Ayres, owing to the contending factions which divide the Government, have again receded, and may be quoted 58s. to 60s. Peruvian scrip came out at 3 premium, subsequently advanced to 54-, and is now quoted 3i to 4 premium." The Land Companies Shares have been neg lected, and there is no disposition to invest in them. A batch of upwards of twenty cab drivers attended to answer summonses taken out against them by order of Sir Richard Mayne, for violation of the regulations pro mulgated by him as Commissioner of Police, in leaving their cabs unattended on the stand at Kennington•cross. The defence set up by many of the defendants was that the regulations of Sir Richard Mayne were so strin gent that it was quite impossible they could comply with them. One man said that he had been on the rank for seven hours, and was merely obeying a call of nature when his number had been taken. MANCHESTER, APRIL s.—Our market has exhibited no change of any consequence, as compared with the state of things at the date of our last report. As in Liverpool, so in Manchester, there is a prevailing steadi ness at the rates which were obtainable after the excite ment of the earlier and middle portions of the week had subsided. ROCHDALE, APRIL 4.—We have had a steady demand for goods, and the manufacturers are obtaining rather better prices for these pieces. The low and middle qualities of English wools are very scarce, and their prices rather firmer. The wool dealers have very light stocks on hand at present, and are quite out of sorts. HALIFAx, APRIL 2.—The aspect of trade in our piece hall is pretty much the same to-day as was noted in our last report ; and there is no noticeable alteration in either the yarn or the wool market. Large contracts for yarn have been offered at the present prices, but the spinners have declined taking them, as those prices entail positive loss. BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 4.—The preliminary meeting of the South Staffordshire iron trade was held at Wolver hampton on Thursday last, and terminated in a declara tion of the followinft prices for the ensuing quarter, namely, 101. pe r t on for bars.and rods, ill. for hoops, and 121. for sheets, being a nominal redkicti94 upOn each description of iron of 20e, per ton. Mr. Conlin, the inspector of the L division, in whose name the summonses had been taken ou t, admitted to the magistrate that there was a considerable improve ment on the different stands in the district since the commissioner's orders had been given out ; upon which the defendants (having promised to employ proper per sons to take care of their cabs when they were obliged to be absent) were merely ordered to pay the expense of the summonses. THAMES.—Two children, named John Bryan and Daniel Sullivan, each nine years of ago, whose heads scarcely reached above the dock, were charged with stealing a piece of brass, value two shillings, forming part of the outer window railing of the shop of Mr. Croucher, chemist, 123, High-street, Shadwell. The lads were seen skulking in the vicinity by a person named Hatch, residing in the same street, and whose employer had been plundered in the same manner. When taken into custody . , the brass bar, the removal of which re quired some ingenuity, and showed practised hands, was found upon them. The prisoner Bryan was pale and attenuated, and, as well as Sullivan, appeared utterly unconscious of any offence. Bryan said, when taken into custody he was asked whether he had any father or mother. Mr. Yardley—Well, my poor lad, I must ask you the same question. Have you ? Bryan—No, sir ; I lost both. Mr. Yardley—And where do live now ? Bryan—With my aunt, sir, at Orchard-row, Matcliff. Mr. Yardley—You lookyale ; do you ever get a full meal ? Bryan—A what, Kr Mr. Yardley—Do you ever get enough to eat ? Pri soner, sometimes; not often, sir. Mr. Yardlesk(to Sullivan)—Where do you live ? Sul livan—With My father and mother, sir. 5 subs.

Mr. Yardley—Yes, one of those pestilential nuisances which are the greatest incentives to crime in the world. A constable stated that the person alluded to lived at Stone-stairs, Radcliff, and had been at this court before in connection with similar casas. Mr. Yardley said it was a melancholy case, and asked Bryan where he had been borne ; to which the latter replied that he had been born in Paris's-court, Rateliff, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

MINING OPERATIONS IN SOMERSETSHIRE.—Operations are about to be commenced on a portion of the Quan hills, Somersetshire, which bid fair to create a mining district of some importance. The scene of these opera tions will be near Broomfield, and about six miles from Taunton. Although this movement is owing to a fresh discovery, it has been known for many years that these hills contain abundance of that very valuable mineral— copper. The matter has been taken up by men of capi tal, practical experience, ability, and energy, and san guine expectations are entertained that a perpetual source of gre at wealth will be opened with the Broom field mines. THE CONDITT OF RAJAH BROOKE.—A Commission is —it is stated---about to issue, under direction of the Foreign-office, to inquire into the conduct of Rajah Brooke, especially in reference to the charges against him so often urged on the attention of Parliament and the public by Mr. Hume. The investigation will, it is understood, take place at Singapore, where witnesses are to be wcamined. The Rajah sailed for India by the mail-steamw. Bengal, on Monday last, News. LIVERPOOL-Amur, 6. The ExcelsiorTiCol — We;Yori,aile at anchor this morning off the Crosly light-ship, had a signal of distress flying, which was lowered when the steam-tug William Fawcett ran alongside. The Trinity Yacht, arrived from Porto Rico, was struck by a sea, March 28, in lat. 42 N., long. 32 W., which swept the decks and shifted the cargo. Part of a topmast, with topsail, topgallant-yards and rigging, a tattered piece of canvass, on which was marked "Three Brothers," topsail, and the spars, apparently be longing to a brigantine, were picked up, March 31, off Port Lynas, by the Ellen, arrived here from Oporto. THE QUEEN'S NURSE.—Among the passengers going south by the Defiance coach this morning was Mrs. Mackintosh, of whom we lately mentioned that it was expected she would be selected as wet nurse with refe rence to the approaching confinement of her Majesty. She has been appointed to this responsible duty, and is now on her way south. Mrs. Mackintosh is a native of Straithnairn, near Inverness, and is a tall, black-eyed, and handsome specimen of a Highland woman. She is accompanied by her sister and her baby. They all ap peared in the most perfect and robust health. We be lieve Mrs. Mackintosh speaks English very indifferently, and relies a good deal upon her jsister to act as inter preter.—lnverness Couriv. ANOTHER STRIKE OF RAILWAY OPERATIVES.—The waggon wrights employed by the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, at South Shields, struck work on Sa turday. They have had 20s. per week, and ask an advance of 35., which the company have refused, offer ing an advance of Is. per week. The men have removed their tools, COUNTRY MARKETS.
