NOTICE OF MOTION. _ _ _ Mr. KEATING gave notice that on Monday, July the sth, he should bring the report of the Dockyard Com mittee under the attention of the house. The dropped notices were re-appointed. PETERBOROUGH ELECTION. Mr. K. SEYMER brought up the report of the Peterborough Election Committee, declaring Mr. Whalley to be unseated, on the ground that his agent bad been guilty of treating On the motion that the evidence taken before the committee be printed, Mr. GEACH called the attention of the house to the circumstances of the case. Grave charges of bribery and treating were made against Mr. Whalley and his agents, but the charges were rot proved or attempted to be proved. On the contrary, it was shown that the elec- iion was fought upon pure and straightforward prin ciples ; but after the election a dinner was given to Mr. Whalley by the electors, each elector paying ss. for his dinner, and at this dinner it would seem that Mr. Whalley then agreed to pay for the wine. It did not appear, however, that this was done with a corrupt motive, but nevertheless the committee had unseated Mr. Whalley on the ground of treating. It seemed to him that the house was running mad upon the question of purity of elections ; but in its desire to correct these abuses the house should take care that it did not do in justice in cases like this. (Hear, hear.) Sir ,G-. GREY deprecated discussion at this stage of the proceedings, and suggested that any remarks which hon. members might wish to make should be post poned until the evidence should have been printed. This course was taken, and the subject dropped. THE " NO HOUSE." Mr. COBDEN took the opportunity of this motion to direct attention to the conduct of one of the door keeper's yesterday on the occasion of the " no house." He with several other hon. members were waiting in the lobby before four o'clock waiting until the Chaplan made his exit, but the door-keeper kept the door closed until the house was counted, and the conse quence was, he and others were unable to get admission in time to make up the number of 40. He complained also that several members of the Government; exerted themselves, and even canvassed some of his own friends to prevent a house being ma le, which he considered was highly improper. (Hear, lie.z.) Mr. LEWIS did not think that any blame was at tributable to the door-keeper, because he distinctly heard that functionary throw the doors open and say, " Prayers are over, gentlemen." (Hear, hear.) Lora D. STUART said the " no house" was caused by a shabby trick of the Government, and the sooner such manoeuvres were put a stop to the better. The noble lord the member for Scarborough persuaded seve ral members, in his hearing, not to enter the house, be cause it would be inconvenient to the Government, and that was the reason there was no house. The fact was the whipper-in of the Government yes terday acted as whipper-out. No doubt the leader of the House of Commons would disavow these proceedings of his subordinates in the same way that the Premier had disavowed the sentiments of the noble lord. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AGLIONBY said they were making too much of this matter, and for his part he thought honourable members themselves were to blame for allowing any one to whip them out. (A. laugh.) Mr. BROTHERTON denied that any blame attached to the door-keeper. The fact was, his hon. friend the member for the West Riding and his friends were loiter ing about the lobby when they should have been in their seats. Mr. A. PELLATT was one of those who happened to be in the house when it was counted, and the diffi culty that he felt at the time was not being able to get out to tell hon. members in the lobby what was.going on The forms of the house, he believed, would not allow a member to quit the house, when once in, until after it was counted. The SPEAKER said it was the duty of the door keeper to keep the door closed while prayers were on, but after that the doors were thrown open and kept so until the close of the proceedings. It appeared in this instance, that the doors were closed during prayers, but opened immediately afterwards. The subject then dropped, and the motion for printing the evidence in the Peterborough election case was agreed to. COURT OF COMMON LAW (PLEADING) BILL. The house then went committee on this bill. Clauses up to 10 were agreed to. Mr. FITGERALD moved the omission of clause 10, which provides that the cause of action shall be stated in the writ of summons issued in the first instance, and dispenses with the necessity of a declaration ; but after a protracted discussion, of a technical character, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 11, which provides that a plaintiff shall be compelled to deliver a bill of the particulars of his claim, with the writ, was objected to by Mr. GROGAN, on the ground that it would lead to unnecessary expense. He wished, therefore, to move the omission of the clause, and to insert in its place the following : "And in all cases where the plaintiff's demand shall be a liquidated or money demand, the balance claimed by the plaintiff, after deducting all credits to which the de fendant may be entitled, shall be endorsed on the sum mons and plaint, and on the copies thereof for service ; and the plaintiff shall before the said summons and plaint shall be filed, as hereinafter provided, cause the particu lars of his demand, and of all credits to which the defen dant may be entitled, and of the balance claimed, to be ingrossed on parchment, and to be annexed to the said summons and plaint, and such endorsement annexed shall be considered as particulars of demand, and no further or other particulars need be delivered, unless ordered by the court or a judge." -Ulti mately, however, the hon. member consented not to press the amendment, upon the understanding that an alteration in the original clause should be proposed to meet his views on the bringing up of the report. The clause was then agreed to, as were also the suc ceeding clauses up to 37. On clause 38, which provides that a plaintiff or a de fendant should be required to verify upon oath the truth of his plea or declaration, . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the clause, becaus e it would press unjustly upon sensitive minds, and tend to defeat the ends of justice. Mr. WHITE SIDE defended t h e c l ause. F ormer l y a man was liable to imprisonment who put in a false plea or filed a false declaration ; but in the course of time, with the ab uses of l t s special pleadi ng , cre pt i n th e p rac ti ce of puttin g false aspite upon th e recor d, f or th e sa k e o f securing tim e clause was to amend that state N ow , t h e o bj ect o f t hi s l atstateof u t o hin d g iffi s, ou an it d y h in e a n d o o p p e t d . the committee would experience ingTiite. SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND give was s view of his hon. very much disposed to concur therefore,England and learned friend the Attorneyn-General for but his colleagues in Ireland were anxious not, chan , e in thelaw a trial, and he should" to object to the clause. Mr. FITZGERALD moved an amendinent in the c lause, for the pu r p ose of substitutin g a decl aration for an oath. b t rnake Mr. WHITESIDE said he had no t obj . ection to that amendment in the clause, u I was hardly necessary.

Lord MONCK said there was a good dea . of morbid sentimentality abroad upon this question o taking an oath, and he for one should oppose the amendment. Mr. CROWDER agreed with the amen 'ment, as it was highly inexpedient to increase the occasions for taking an oath. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said if they were to try the experiment which the clause proposed, he cer tainly must insist upon them adhering to the oath. After a few words from Mr. V. SCULLY, the amend ment was withdrawn and the clause was agreed to ; as was also clauses 39 up to 49 inclusive. On clause 50, which provides that there shall be no replication in a case, except with leave of a judge, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the clause, as uncalled for. Mr. WHITESIDE defended the clause. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the clause should be postponed. Clauses up to 62 were agreed to. Mr. FITZGERALD moved the omission of clause 63, which provides that where an action is brought against a justice of the peace for an act done in his official capa city, the defendent should have the protection of having the caused tried in his own country. Mr. 'WHITESIDE said the clause only perpetuated the law as it now stood. The SOLICITOR GENERAL for Ireland supported the amendment, as he believed great injustice was done under the law as it now stood. After some further discussion, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it . 70 Majority 39 The clause was accordingly struck out. EXPENSES OF ELECTION BILL.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 7. The Duke of Wellington, 131 guns, screw steam ship, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., having completed her fit out, got up steam this morning in harbour to go out to Spithead. The importance of the event excited the ut most interest at this port, and caused thousands to assemble at every point of view on the sides of the har bour, to witness the progress of this magnificent ship to Spithead. High water was at about 10 minutes to 12 o'clock, and some speculation was indulged in as to whether there would be a sufficiency of water on the bar outside the harbour to enable her to cross it in safety. The public were not generally admitted on board, but those having a reasonable excuse for being there were not excluded. Among others, the following were on board :—The Right Hon. Earl Spencer, Sir Thomas Byam Martin (Admiral of the Fleet), Vice-Admiral Bowles, Rear-Admiral Fanshawe (Superintendent of this Dockyard), Rear-Admiral Fanshawe Martin, Major- General Simpson, Lieutenant-Governor Major-General Fanshawe, Captains Henderson, Harris, Pelham, Robert Sharpe, Mr. Dinner, from Somerset House, &c., &c. Several ladies were also on board. At a quarter to twelve the ship was under weigh, but a hulk being in the way a little delay was thereby occa sioned, and she was carried by the tide somewhat astern. She soon got herself into a suitable position by the care and presence of mind of Mr. Underwood, the Master- Attendant of this dockyard, and Mr. Jones, the pilot on board. She then began to make head way, and was soon breasting the strong tide that was running into harbour at the time. In passing the Victory, flag ship, the band of the Duke struck up "God save the Queen," and another minute brought in view the crowds of people assembled on the Hard, Portsea, and other places, from which could be obtained a view. There must altogether have been some 10,000 or 15,000 persons present on the shores of the harbour. The noble ship proceeded through the Chan nel with slack speed, but with perfect ease, against the tide, and as she neared the bar, which is situate between Hollingsworth's Rooms and Southsea Castle, right across the harbour channel, deep interest, if not anxiety, began to be felt as to whether she would quite clear it. The speed of the ship was diminished, and the utmost atten tion was paid to the reports of the leadsmen on both sides of the vessel. Every throw of the vessel produced a diminished depth of water, till at length their reports showed that there was only a space of 14 to 2 inches be tween the after part of the keel and the bar. The sus pense as to what the next throw of the lead would indi cate was, at least on the part of the non-professional persons present, greatly relieved by its showing an in crease in place of a decrease of water, and in a few minutes an ample depth was obtained, and all danger was at an end. Full power was then put on, when it became obvious that although the ship was much deeper in the water than on her previous trial, she was never theless going at a very high speed. At her first trial she had no guns on board, to-day she had the whole of her main and middle deck guns on board, besides 22 of her lower deck guns ; these latter were placed forward to bring her down by the head. The total number of guns on board was 97. She had also a large quantity of ship stores, provisions, &c., on board to-day, besides her crew of officers and men, at present amounting to 840. These include 210 marines, 30 marine artillery, and 66 boys. Her full complement will be 1,100 men. As the vessel approached Spithead she saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, with 15 guns, which the Victory returned with 7. The Duke of Wellington then made her way to the measured mile in Stoke's Bay to try her speed, and made two runs there, the result of which were as ollow Revolutions of Speed in knots Average Time.

To-day the ship's draught of water was 25 feet 10 inches ' • on her first trial it was 24 feet 3 inches. The difference between the averages of the runs made to-day and those made at her previous going out showed a difference of about three-tenths of a knot in favour of the latter. The results of the above trial are obviously of the most satisfactory character, and were regarded as such on board. After the two runs the ship was put through several evolutions, exercising her expansion gear, turning round in a circle, backing astern, &c., all of which she performed with the utmost facility, and in a manner that excited the warmest admiration of all on board. The shake of the vessel to-day was apparently much less than on the previous trials, owing no doubt to her being deeper in the water, and consequently steadier. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Duke of Wellington came to an anchor at Spithead, and her visitors departed for the shore, but just as she was doing so, there was a cry raised of " A man overboard." It appeared that one of the crew had dropped from the side of the vessel into the water, but without striking against anything. He was picked up unhurt. The Duke of Wellington remains at Spithead. The gunnery experiments from the Excellent upon the old oonvict hulk York, 74, have soon demolished that venerable relict of the wooden walls. She was very rotten, or she would have held a longer tug with the gunners ; she has fallen over upon her broadside, and her upper broadside has fallen in upon the lower. Such was the state of decay of her timbers that several of Moorsom's shells went through the ship without burst ing. Apropos of gunnery, while Hogue's crew were being exercised in that science at Plymouth, a few days prior to her leaving for Portsmouth, " No. 3," in taking the fusee cap off an 8-inch shell, turned the screw the wrong way, which screwed out the fusee itself, the con sequence was that when the shell was fired it split the gun (a 50-cwt. 8-inch on the main tier), near the muscle, in three places. The Blenheim, 60, screw guardship, Captain Hender son, C. 8., was paid wages at Spithead yesterday. The Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Scott, ordinary depot ship in this harbour, was yesterday ordered to fit for sea immediately, it is conjectured, to reinforce, if necessary, the Mediterranean or home fleet. She com menced sending down her jury yards and topmasts this morning, and returned them to the dockyard, and all her seagoing gear has been sent off to her, which she is setting up with all expedition. Either the Princess Charlotte, 104, advanced three-decker, or the St. Vin cent, ditto, 101, will be fitted out to take the Neptune's place as ordinary depot ship. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Crispin, hauled out of dock this morning, and had her masts stepped in the fitting basin. The vessel will be a model of elegance in a few days. SHEERNESS, JUNE 6. The Monarch, 84, guard-ship of ordinary, Captain• Superintendent Charles Hope, has this day been taken into dock. Her copper is being cleaned down, her top gallantmasts, topmasts, and topgallant and topsail yards are being sent down, and her sea-going masts and yards are ready to be sent aloft. She will be put out of dock on Wednesday next, and prepared for immediate depar ture from here. It is reported she is to join a squadron of 15 sail of the line for service in the Mediterranean. The Comus, 14 guns, sloop, Commander William A. Fellowes, will be out of the dockyard hands on Wed nesday next. She is only six AB.'s short of her com plement, and these are expected round from the west ward in a few days. The Tribune, 30, new screw steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, will be put into dock on Thursday next, on the Monarch being undocked and the blocks being examined. The President, 50 guns, at Chatham, has this day been put out of dock, and the Boscawen, 70, guard-ship of ordinary, has this day been taken into the dock for overhauling and cleaning copper, &c. She is also expected to join the squadron for service in the Medi• terranean. _ _ _ A number of Coast Guard men, selected for service in th e na vy, being late men-of-war's men who have entered the Coast Guard, and now in this district, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for being imme diately draughted to ships in commission and fitting at this or any other ports. It is reported that 8,500 sea men, serving at present in the Coast Guard in the United Kingdom, are under similar orders. These alone, it is calculated, will man 10 sail of the line with first-rate experienced seamen accustomed to all naval discipline and tactics. An order has recently been issued here by Captain- Superintendent Charles Hope, of her Majesty's dock yard, which has been most joyfully received by the aspirants to promotion by merit and ability. In conse quence of a vacancy for an assistant master-shipwright, by the promotion of Mr. Laing, late assistant to the master-shipwright at Chatham yard, now promoted to be master-shipwright at Pembroke yard, an Admiralty circular has been sent requesting the professional officers to report to the captain-superintendent the names of three of the foremen of shipwrights who in their practical opinion may be considered most eligible for promotion. It is understood similar orders have been sent to all the other yards, and the captain-superintendents are de sired to send the names forward to the Surveyor of the Navy. He (the surveyor) will, after mature considera tion, select three of the candidates from the entire num ber ; these three will then be sent for and undergo a rigid examination, and the one who shall in most re spects have attained the highest knowledge, practically and theoretically, of his profession, will receive their lord ships' appointment to the situation as assistant master shipwright at Chatham yard. JUNE 7. CIVIL SERVICE.—It is currently reported here to-day that the three candidates for the appointment of master shipwright's assistant, vacant by the promotion of Mr. Laing, have been selected by the Surveyor of the Navy to undergo their examination at Somerset-house. The following are the names of the three fortunate can didates selected, namely—Mr. Cheesman, foreman at Chatbom yard ; Mr. W. Lang, timber inspector; and Mr. P. Thornton, foreman at Sheerness yard. We are gratified to find that the recent inquiries connected with promotions in the dockyards are likely to prove bens. ficial to the service generally—as the selection of the officers above mentioned is another proof that the pre sent Admiralty are really in earnest, the two first named (Messrs. Cheesman and Lang) being officers of great experience and long servitude ; and the third (Mr. Thornton) an officer, whose zeal, alacrity, and general acquaintance with the routine of fitting out ships at this yard have been of the greatest assistance to the com manding officers, and have frequently been the theme of conversation in naval circles at this port, particularly in the case of the Agamemnon, which was fitted out here in the most inclement season of the year in a particularly short period of time. We trust the officers of Sheerness yard will now come in for their fair share of promotion —as in consequence of this not being a borough, this yard has generally been overwhelmed by the nominees of the members of the more fortunate ports. It would be an instructive return for some hon. member of the House of Commons if he were to move for the number of officers and clerks promoted and appointed to Sheer ness yard during the last twenty years, distinguishing those who were promoted from Sheerness yard and those who were sent from other ports and inland boroughs, &c. Mr. John Cheesman, liner in the mast-house here for many years, has ben recommended to the Admiralty through the captain-superintendent, on the report of the professional officers to be promoted to an inspector, vice Betts, superannuated. WOOLWICH, JUNE 7. APPOINTMENTS. Captain James J. M'Cleverty (1848), to command the Terrible paddle-wheel steam-frigate, with engines of 800- horse power, commissioned this day at Woolwich. Captain Thomas P. Thompson (1847), to the Vestal, 26, on the West Indies and North American station, and at present at Havannah, under the command of Captain C. B. Hamilton. Commanders—JamesA. St. Leger (1848), to the Coastguard ; Woolcombe, to command the Styx paddle wheel steam-sloop, on the East Indies station, whither she recently went from the Cape of Good Hope station. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUI LDHALL.—A mite Mack was brought up charged with cutting and wounding Mary Ann Fitz with a razor, sith intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutrix said that about half-past nine o'clock on Monday evening she was at the corner of Oxford Arms-passage, in Warwick-lane, when the prisoner came up and asked if she had anything to say to her. Prose cutrix replied that she had not, and the prisoner then said she (prosecutrix) was wanted down the passage. She asked who wanted her, but the prisoner refused to tell her, upon which the prosecutrix declined to go. The prisoner immediately drew one hand from under her shawl, and threw a quantity of pepper into her (prose cutrix's) eyes, and then, with the other hand, she pro duced an open razor, with which she endeavoured to cut prosecutrix's throat. She, however, succeeded m parry ing the blow with her hand, which got frightfully lace rated, and several of the fingers were cut nearly off, but, notwithstanding, the razor wounded her slightly in the neck and on the breast, and cut the clothing that covered her shoulders. Prosecutrix bled very much, and she was taken to the hospital, where she had her wounds dressed. She had had no quarrel with the prisoner beyond having seen her in her own (prosecutrix's) room on Sunday night, and told her to quit it immediately. Thomas Bailey said he saw the prisoner and prosecu trix struggling together in the street, and observing an open razor in the prisoner's hand, and the prosecutrix bleeding, he interfered, and the prisoner allowed him to take the razor from her, and he afterwards gave it up to the officer at the station. Susan Marshall, the housekeeper at the Smithfield station, said she searched the prisoner, and found on her a door key and a razor case. The prisoner told her she bought the razor in the morning for the express purpose of cutting the prosecutrix's throat, and that she pur chased it in St. Paul's-churchyard. The prisoner, in her defence, said that the prosecutrix followed her about on Sunday evening, and called her "a good for nothing ," and told every one that she wished to stab her, and she (prosecutrix) wanted her to do it, and that was the reason why she tried to cut her throat. She was also instigated to do so by the prose cutrix accusing her of seducing her (prosecutrix's) hus band. Sir Chapman Marshall committed the prisoner for trial. MARYLEBONE.—WiIIiam Earl, a watchmaker, 9, Caledonian-road, Islington, was charged with having, by false pretences, endeavoured to obtain 501. from the London and North-Western Railway Company. William Gardner, railway porter at the Leighton Buz zard Station, said that on the sth of May the prisoner, with another man, arrived by train from Dunstable. He came up to witness, and said that he wanted to leave a carpet bag. Witness asked him if he wished to book it ? He replied that he did, upon which witness gave him a ticket. He and his companion then left him. They had with them also a blue bag and a box. The prisoner re turned and asked for his bag. Witness gave it to him, and received the ticket. The prisoner remarked that he believed there was a train to Bedford at 20 minutes past twelve o'clock. Witness stated that there was not. The prisoner then put the carpet bag, the blue bag, and the box near the scales on the platform, and asked for the ticket. In the hurry of business witness gave him the ticket, but omitted to take the carpet bag, as he ought to have done, and which he should have placed in the office. Witness after this went to dinner, leaving the prisoner and his companion on the platform. He was relieved by Hall, another porter. The down train to Leighton Buzzard was due at half-past one o'clock. On witness's return, that train was in sight. At that time witness saw Hall take the blue bag and the box across the line for the down train. The prisoner and his companion also crossed the line, and one of them had the carpet bag. By Mr. Humphreys—No complaint was made by the prisoner or his companion as to the carpet bag being missing. The first time I heard of one being lost was on the following Sunday, the Bth ult. Mr. Beresford said that on Wednesday, the 19th ult., he went to 9, Caledonian-road, and found there a man of the name Gwyn, a police-sergeant, in the service of the company, at Oxford It had been previously ar ranged that he should be in the house. He was taken into custody by witness on the assumed charge of felony, for stealing some carpenter's tools in the country. Gwyn was in plain clothes. Witness went into an inner room at the back of the house, which is a coffee shop, and was admitted by the prisoner. Witness there observed two carpet bags, which the prisoner admitted was his pro property. After some conversation with the prisoner, witness told him that he should take him into custody for attempting by false and fraudulent representations to obtain 501. from the North-Western Railway Com pany. Wm. Hall, the porter, said that on the down train alluded to appearing, the companion of the prisoner pointed to the luggage near the scales, and took the carpet bag. Witness put the blue bag and the box into the luggage van. Edward Varney, porter at the Oxford Station, said that on the day in question the prisoner alighted from a down train. He gave witness a carpet bag, and received a ticket. He then stated to witness that he had booked a bag at Leighton similar to the one he gave witness, for which a ticken was given to him ; and that he subse quently applied for it, when it was gone, and all the satisfaction he could get was that, when it was found, it would be sent to him. A man named Harms, two days after, produced the ticket, and had the bag. Mr. John Simonds, Pembroke-street, Oxford, watch maker, said that the prisoner called upon him on Thurs day or Friday, the sth or 6th of May. He asked for employment, and said that he had lost a carpet bag, in which were all the implements of his trade, with his wearing apparel. He asked witness if he could not pro ceed against the railway company for compensation, and observed that the contents of the bag was worth 501. Witness said he would refer him to a solicitor, with whom the prisoner had a conversation upon the subject. He (the solicitor) wrote a letter to the secretary of the company. [The letter was produced, the purport of it being that the prisoner required compensation to the amount of 501. for the loss of the carpet bag and its con tents] In a few days after the prisoner called upon him and observed that he had settled with the solicitor, but was afraid there was no chance for his carpet bag. The solicitor, a few days after, made a claim upon witness for the expense incurred on account of the prisoner. By Mr. Broughton—lt is not usual for workmen at the watch and clock trade in the country to have tools of their own. The prisoner showed me an inventory of the articles which, he alleged, were in the carpet bag. Some of them were most entraordinary tools, such as I have never seen. The price of an ordinary set of tools would be about 301. Mr. Beresford produced a mahogany box, and a red morocco case which contained a quantity of watch maker's tools, that were found in the bags taken by him at the prisoner's lodgings. He also produced a suit of clothes. The prisoner was remanded to have the depositions taken. Bail was required, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 601. each. WESTMINSTER.—CharIes Cooper, a boy only 11 years of age, was charged with robbing his mother. The prosecutrix, a respectable-looking widow, com plained, with terrs in her eyes, that she was reluctantly compelled to bring her son before the magistrate. It was impossible to keep him at home, or anything that could be disposed of. She bad no sooner turned her back than he made away with every article he could lay his hands upon, and having disposed of every other port able thing, had absolutely disposed of the saucepans in which she cooked food for her family. If she trusted him with money to fetch any thing, she never saw him again until he had spent it ; and she really did not know what to do with him. The accused, who heard his unhappy mother's state ment without exhibiting the slightest concern, was re manded. THAMES.—Two lads, named George Lee, aged 17, and William Bottomley, 18, of Collingwood-terrace, Bethnal-green, were charged with violating the person of a girl named Frances Brown, aged 14. The prosecutrix stated that she was a servant, but now living at home. About fifteen minutes before ten on Sunday night she was knocking at the door of her home, when the prisoner and two other lads came up and pulled her away from the door. She told them to go away but they would not, and forced her into Globe fields, Mile-end-road, about half a mile distant, where they behaved very rudely to her, and tried to throw her on the grass, but she resisted them, and they forced her against a wall and asked her to walk farther with them, which she refused to do. The girl then described the out rage committed upon her, and said Lee first violated her and then Bottomley and another lad in succession. There was a fourth youth present who did not molest her. The prisoner Lee then saw her home to her mother's door. It was one o'clock when she reached home, and sho hesitated about going home at such an unseasonable hour, but Lee said the longer she stopped the later it would be, and she had better go in at once. She then went into the house. On the following evening she made known to a female in the house how she had been treated by the prisoners, and that person told her aunt of it. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, she said she passed a great many persons on the way from her pa rent's house to the field. She did not speak to any one. The prisoners and their companions had hold of her arms, and forced her along. Mr. Yardley asked the girl repeatedly why she had not spoken or called out to some of the numerous per sons whom she passed on the way to the field, but could not obtain a single word in reply. Lee, after receiving the usual caution from the magis trate, said that nearly every word spoken by the girl wa s false, and that she was a consenting party to the whole transaction, never making the least resistance, or calling out to any one; that she passed several police constables on the way to the field, and selected her own road, ad vising him and his companions to pass by a church where the bobbies (meaning the police) would not see them. She was just knocking at her mother's door, and he and three others went up to her. She said "Halloo, George," and called him away, and said, " Have you seen Harry Bottomley," his fellow-prisoner's brother, and he said "Yes." She then told him that she had been with Harry Bottomley in the fields, and had some nice butter cakes in her pocket ; and she also said that a particular intercourse had taken place between her and Harry Bot tomley. She then walked along with him and the others to Globe-fields, and freely consented to all that took place. Mr. Yardley questioned the prosecutrix on the pri soner Lee's statement. She admitted that he saw her home after leaving the field, and that she had been pre viously taking a walk with Harry Bottomley. Moss, not in custody, gave her 2d., and- she gave the money back to William BOttooiley. She ran, away two or three times, and the prisoners and Moss brought her back again, and forced her to consent to their wishes. Lee—lt is false. She walked quietly to the field, and never offered to run away ; and she gave the money to William Bottomley, and said she was afraid her mother would hear it rattle. Martha Hoy, a married woman, said, on Monday evening, about eight o'clock, her niece first told her three lads had abused her person. The girl was crying all night, and said the young men forced her into a corner of the field. Daniel Smith, a police-constable, 215 K, said he took Lee into custody, and upon acquainting him with the charge he said, "Won't the others be charged as well as me ?" The girl charged Bottomley, Lee, and Moss, with rape, and said they were all equally guilty. John Brown, a mechanic, said his daughter was 14 years and a few months old, and generally a very well conducted girl. He heard of the outrage on his daugh ter for the first time on Monday night, and from his wife and her sister told him there was every proof she had been violated. Mr. Yardley could not help saying the girl's conduct was most extraordinary, and that she might have ap pealed to the people she passed on her way to the field for protection. Police-sergeant Fouke, 27 K, who took the charge at the station-house, was called and asked why the girl had not been subjected to a medical examination, and he said he had strongly recommended that course to the father of the girl on Monday night. He also said, in answer to another question, that the girl must have passed several police men on her way from Collingwhod-terrace to Globe fields, and that she passed through two or three much frequented streets. _ _ _ Mr. Yardley—And made no complaint. On the pri soners own showing it is a most disgusting and pro fligate piece of business. The best thing is for the police-surgeon to examine the girl, and let me know what he says. I shall remand the prisoners till Thursday. A certificate from Mr. Horton, surgeon, of High street, Stepney, was subsequently handed to Mr. Yard ley, stating there were no marks of violence whatever on the girl. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. The registrar's report says :--The present return ex hibits a lower amount of mortality in the metropolis than has been observed in any previous week since January. The deaths registered last week were 1,023, which is about a hundred less than in the week immediately pre- ceding. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number was 892, which with a cor rection for increase of population becomes 981. Hence it appears that the 1,023 deaths now returned exceed the calculated amount by 42. The recent decrease is generally apparent throughout the table of fatal diseases, but is most considerable in those affecting the respiratory organs. This class has declined in the number of fatal cases to 129, of which 63 are referred to bronchitis, and 42 to pneumonia. Phthisis, which numbers 152, maintains its preponder ance in the list. Typhus has declined in the last two weeks from 53 to 41, diarrhoea from 32 to 21, measles increased from 19 to 28 ; with these exception, zymotic diseases discover no important fluctuation. The following case of cholera was registered in the week : On the 27th May, at Saint Mary's Hospital, Padding. ton, a labourer, aged 49 years, from Brook-mews, Pad dington, died of "cholera (3 days as far as known) ; only well marked the last 25 hours." Post mort. With reference to two deaths from cholera, which have been registered in the sub-district of Fulham, since the registration of last week was completed, Mr. Knight, the registrar, writes as follows :—" I beg to state that I have this day (sth June), registered one of two children who died at 11, Palace-place, one according to certificate from cholera infantum ; the other, I believe, from the same disease. They were nurse children, and the female who had care of them only came to reside at Fulham on Saturday, 28th April, from Putney, when the children were well. The house in which they died is a new one. The woman herself is very poorly, and if this disease spread I should consider that I had not done my duty if I had not taken the earliest opportunity to give infor mation." At 1O&, Queen's-head-lane, Islington, on Ist June, the daughter of a house-painter, aged six years, died of " scarlatina maligna, effusion into pericardium, exhaus tion." Mr. Butterfield, the registrar, states that " this is the third death from scarlatina within a month in this family, and the fourth in the house. The drains are defective." On 29th May, at 6, Great Stanhope-street, May-fair, a carver, aged 38 years, "drowning, suicide, when insane, found dead," in a tub of water. Inquest. Dr. Walsh, the registrar, adds—" The widow states that this man had been under private medical treatment for symptoms of insanity. Very early on the morning of his death he went out with a friend, saying he feared he should do his wife some mischief, applied for admis sion at Bethlehem and St. George's Hospitals, and, not succeeding, nearly killed his companion, then climbed a hoard, and put his head into the shallow water tub of the plasterers." The following additional cases are selected from the return of the week :—On 30th May, at 13, Circus-street, Marylebone, the son of a domestic servant, aged 3 weeks, " pemphigus (12 days), jaundice (9 days)." In the Clap ham-road, a gentleman, aged 68 years, "carbuncles (4 months)." In Belgrave sub-district, a lady, 83 years, " carbuncle (14 days), erysipelas (24 hours)." In St. George's Hospital, a woodcutter, 54 years, "wound of finger, secondary suppuration, inflammation of lungs." Post mort. The disease in the finger began as a car buncle, or whitlow, and was opened before going into the hospital. At 47, Sidney-street, Islington, a brick maker, aged 53, died from "wound of the hand from glass whilst engaged in moulding bricks ; locked jaw (4 days)." A boy and a girl, twins, were born prematurely ; one was stillborn, the other lived 3 days ; the mother had been residing at Holloway, and premature labour was brought on by hearing of a murder being committed in the neighbourhood. A journeyman carpenter, aged 44 years, died from "the bursting of a pharyngeal abscess into the windpipe." Post mort. At Bermondsey, New-road, a coach-painter, aged 47 years, died of " car ditis combined with gastritis (5 days)." The medical attendant states that "the attack was caused by drink ing cold liquids whilst in a state of great beat and per spiration." At Lewisham, on 28th May, the daughter of a wheelwright, aged 18 years, died of " confluent small-pox (25 days)." She had not been vaccinated, but had small-pox previously some years ago. In King's College Hospital, a banker's clerk, aged 29 years, died of "epilepsy depending on tumour in the brain." Post znort. He had 35 fits in the last twelve hours before he died. On 2nd April at 9, Blue-gate fields, Shadwell, a child, aged six months, died from "impure air in an over-crowded room." Inquest. A woman, aged 46 years, died from cancer ; she had conc ea l e d her disease, and neglected to call in medical aid. Last week the births of 758 boys and 686 girls, in all 1,444 children, were registered in London. The average number in eight corresponding weeks of 1845-52 was 1,384. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 880 in. The mean temperature was 51 . 8 deg., which is 4.8 deg. less than the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the average on every day of the week. The wind was in the north. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, JUNE 4.

We observe that the New Edition, being the fifteenth, of Mr. Burke's Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronet age is at length published. Great exertions have been made to render this New Edition more correct and com prehensive than any which has yet appeared. The fol lowing are the main features of the Author's improve ments :—The genealogical history of every family has undergone verification and extension. All details of in terest touching the lineage are given ; and each existing member, however remotely descended, is introduced ap propriately in the pedigree. Public records have again been consulted. Private information has been sought, and obtained far snore copiously than before. Commu nications have been received, not only from the heads of houses, but also from the various collateral connexions. The Author has also derived much advantage from the researches made in the course of his various other heraldic and genealogical writings. New light and new know ledge have come through them to enrich his pages with names and dates, with circumstances and consan guinities, which might otherwise have been unseen or forgotten. In this Edition we observe also that a new type has been employed, and many of the Arms have been re-engraved. Thus it will be acknowledged that Mr. Burke has set forth fresh claims on the public at tention and patronage by his unceasing and laborious efforts to render this truly national 'York the most com plete and perfect of its kind. —Evening Per. SAVINGS' BANKS. The report on the savings' banks resolutions was brought up and agreed to. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at ten minutes to six o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, JUNE 7.--From the American ac counts (which are detailed elsewhere) we learn that, although the advices hence to the 6th May, had occa sioned a decline of lc. to gc. per lb. in the New York cotton market, they had not impaired the firmness of prices at New Orleans or Mobile. At Liver pool the tone of the market has suffered from the state of foreign polities ; yet buyers have scarcely been able to secure an appreciable advantage. At the latter end of last week, our own market was pretty nearly brought to a stand by the untoward aspect of affairs abroad. To-day, however, a diminished ap prehension of war has abated the depression under which we then laboured. The transactions of the day, though still restricted, show some return of demand. In yarns, there is, for the most part, no conces sion from the attainable prices of this day week ; but it is found that those spinners who were then too high are now willing to yield the excess. Any slight giving way beyond this is o n ly p ar ti a l . I n goo d s , th?re is a moderate c a ll f or d omest i cs, pr i n t ers, an d shirtings adapted to the home trade ; and, as to prices, the same remark applies to cloth as we have just made in reference to yarn. Besides foreign politics a cause of disturbance to business is found in the unsettled state of the relations between employers and operatives. On this subject, we have received the following informa tion respecting the dispute at Stockport :—ln reply to the demand of spinners and weavers for an advance of wages to the amount of ten per cent., the mill owners said— "We will procure lists of wages from all parts of the district, and whatever they average, we will conform our payments to that average." From 32 towns and districts within a circumference of thirty miles around Manchester, such lists have been obtained ; and from these it results that, in the spinning depart ment, the employers at Stockport are paying three to five per cent. too little upon mules both hand and self acting, and five per cent. too little upon throstles ; while in the weaving department, they are giving ,one per cent. too much for fine work, in 56 reeds and up wards, with yarns above 24's,—and two per cent. too much for coarse work in reeds below 56's, with yarns from 24's downwards. It is understood that this result will be announced by the employers' association, which is to meet on Wednesday. HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 7.—The market has again been a quiet one, and for at least a month to come we may expect a stillness in the woollen trade. Merchants only buy for immediate demand, to complete or fit up orders on hand. Manufacturers continue to be well employed throughout the district. If anything, rather more has been done to-day in fancies, manufacturers of which are generally busy, especially in plush vestings, for which there is a good demand. ROCHDALE, JUNE 6.—The flannel market has not been quite so good to-day, but those who have sold have obtained rather better prices. Wool remains firm, with a more limited amount of business transacted. The manufacturers show no desire to buy only for immediate use, and many wish to wait until the new clip comes in. HALIFAx, JUNE 4.—The attendance in our piece hall to-day has been but slender, and scarcely any goods of any description have changed hands. In yarns there is no alteration, either as to demand or price ; and the lull in the wool trade continues, without any change in the quotations. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE, JUNE 7.

THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM. The Commander-in-Chief, Viscount Hardinge, accom panied by Assistant-Quarter-Master-General Colonel Torrens, and Colonel Jones, R.E., paid a visit to the camp on Chobham-common, on Monday, for the pur pose of inspecting the progress of the works. Vis count Hardinge was met upon the ground by Lord Sea ton, the commander of the camp, who attended the noble and gallant viscount through his tour of inspection. They first proceeded to the cavalry stabling, which is now in an advanced state of completion. The process of covering the roofs with canvass was commenced by the Sappers while the Commander-in-Chief was present. On the completion of one of the sections his lordship minutely inspected the interior, and expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the accommodation afforded. The turf wall originally intended to form a foundation for the stables has been given up, and the sides and ends are now composed exclusively of fir branches closely in tertwined together. This has arisen from the difficulty of obtaining turf sods. The permanent camp originally formed on Cotten ham's-hill has been given up, and a more central posi tion selected. This camp will now occupy the summit of Oyster-shell-hill, traditionally so named from the large quantity of oyster-shells found in the stratum of the locality. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will have his camp, as commander of the cavalry, on Cottenham's hill, this site coming within the lines which will be oc cupied by the troops under his direction. In crossing the lines Viscount Hardinge had an oppor tunity of examining both these points. His lordship expressed his full approval of the change effected in the arrangements. I After visiting the artillery stables, on the extreme right of the line, the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by Lord Seaton and the officers of his staff, inspected that portion of the field where it is intended that the mi litary manoeuvres shall take place. This is on the oppo site side of the common. The ground is variable in its surface, but there are two or three fine valleys, afford ing good opportunity for the practice of military tactics, and an excellent position for the staff. Before leaving the field, the Commander-in-Chief visited the present camp on Ship-hill. Here Captain J. Lovell and Lieutenant Mervyn Drake, of the Engineers, under whose personal superintendence the whole of the working operations up to this time have been conducted, were introduced to his lordship by Colonel Vickars. Lord Hardinge expressed to them his satisfaction at the appearance of the field, and his confident belief that everything military skill and foresight could suggest would be accomplished to facilitate the accommodation of the troops before their arrival on the 14th inst. Cap tain Seaton, of the 95th ; Captain Sinclair, of the 38th ; and Lieutenants Eddington, Foster, and Garrard, form ing the staff at present on the field, were also presented to the Commander-in-Chief. The mode of pitching tents suggested by Colonel Ber keley, of the Fusilier Guards, with a view to increase the accommodation for the men, does not appear likely to be very generally adopted. The raising of the foun dation of the tent 18 inches by means of turf sods would be easily accomplished in some localities, but it might almost as well be attempted on the Great Desert as at Chobham, where everything in the shape of grass or herbage of any description is extremely scarce. Lord Seaton has wisely determined to allow the commanding officers of the respective regiments to adopt their own course, declining himself to interfere in the matter. On taking leave of Lord Seaton, the Commander-in- Chief, accompanied by Colonel Challenor, who resides almost upon the field, proceeded in the direction of Windsor, for the purpose of surveying the roads over which her Majesty will pass on her occasional visits to the camp. The formation of reservoirs and wells in various parts of the field is again rapidly progressing. By damming up small rivulets here and there, two or three fine sheets of water have been formed, which will be extremely useful for the cavalry horses. Springs have been dis covered on various parts of the field also, which merely required opening to afford a good supply of excellent water. In one elevated part of the field, by way of ex periment, Captain Lovell caused a well to be sunk through a stratum of sand and stiff clay. At thirty-five feet depth no water was obtained. The prominent objects on the field up to this time are the cavalry and artillery stables, each occupying an ex treme point of the line. Between them there are a variety of similar buildings on a small scale. These are the stables for the officers of the several brigades. It is very gratifying to know that up to the present time the best possible understanding exists between the troops on the field and the neighbouring country people. A rule has been laid down forbidding the sale of spiritu ous liquors in the camp, and there can be but little doubt this will have a most beneficial effect upon the morals of the men, as well as upon the comfort of re sidents in the neighbourhood. The first positive indication of public curiosity in re ference to the camp occurred on Monday, when upwards of two thousand spectators visited Chobham. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 7.
