(From the London New Price Current of June 29.) &ToAu.—To-day there was a diminution in the de mend for raw Sugar for all purposes, and prices gave way for all kinds, as merchants were anxious to realise, end there is still a plentiful supply. Although a reduc tion on former rates of 6d per cwt was submitted to for West India: Muscovado, still the demand was limited for the scale and pan, and the private sales did not ex ceed 300 h'nds and trcs. At public sale 150 hhds of Barbadoes went off heavily at a fall on former prices of 6d to Is. REFINED. —To-day Refined goods were operated in with caution by the home trade, although brown lumps were obtainable at 57s ad to 58s, and standard Lumps at 595. Bonded Crushed is little wanted, and can be ob tained at 32s to 32, 6d for first quality. MACMITIUS.—Aithough there are ready sellers of all descriptions upon previous reduced terms, still the pur chases made privately have been upon a small scale only by refiners and grocers, whilst the supply is ,wood, es pecially of the better q ua li t i es . T he stock has been fur ther increased, and is far greater than it was at this time last year, whilst the deliveries are not so large as of late. Prices are is to 9s per cwt lower than they were at this time in 1846: at public sale, 453 bags 18 casks were only in part disposed oF. The arrivals are not all in for the season, and the stock here is chiefly held by importer. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 30 boxes :2.038 bags of grainy Bengal Sugar were offered, and the whole sold—fine and very fine white 53s 6d to 575, d ‘ etnp 48s 6d io 53; 6d, which is the full value, but yellow w ,,,st rather cheaper, that is to say—fine strong at 48s to 483' ‘6 , 1,- good 46s to 46s 6d, middling 44s to 45s 6d, low 425, ,damp 413 to 48s. 275 tags Benares sold at 6d decline. 143 casks of Ceylon only in part sold. Madras met with Nttle attention, and 3,207 bags at auction were all taken in and withdrawn. 36 hhds Ceylon Syrup sold at 20s for thin, FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 100 hhds, 8 bath of St. Cro7x Sugar were only in part sold at easier rates, fine and very fine yellow at 50s to 52s 6d, good 43s to 48s 6d, middling 44s 6d. Privately few pur- Theses have been made by exporters or the home trade. COCOA.—The market for British Plantation is in a dull state, and prices are on the decline; whilst the arrivals are on the increase. At public sale 605 bags Trinialad were only in part sold. A further fall in the - va l ue i s looked for, as there is a large quantity to arrive. I'oreign is dull of sale, and previous rates are not obtainai. , le. At public sale 70 bags African were taken in at 36s fur good ord dull wormy red, and damaged 324 to 335. Com:h.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was only in limited request, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 256 bales arid 164 half bales, were only in part sold at 2s decline ; middling greenish clean garbled went at 60s to sos ad, outside packages, slightly stained 583 6d, sea damaged, first class 55s to 55s 6d, second and third 48s to 53s 6d. Of Ceylon the quantity offered at auction amounted to 2254 bags 75 casks, and the whole sold, the Native at fully former rates, and in some cases rather above ; whilst the Plantation went at 25 f3ndon .... • • ..... •• SL.

There has been a good demand for Congou, and the rates have been id lb above those vreviouslte current ; the low and middling kinds meeting - with the most attention—of all sorts there is a less I quantity on offer. in Green many purchases have been made, and in some cases holders obtained prices they could not previously, whilst the quantity on offer is not so large as it was. For Scented Teas the demand is more active at previous rates. RICE.—To-day there was little passing privately in 'Best India Rice, and prices further gave way, 17s to 18s 6cl being accepted for low to fine white Bengal. At 'section 496 bags of Madras were taken in at 16s for bold dusty yellow, only 14s 6,.1 being offered. StercEs.—Since we last wrote, a fall in the value of ad to 3d per lb has taken place in Mace; and 12 cases of Penang', being submitted to public competition, were all disposed of. Nutmegs met with little attention, and can he obtained rather under former quotations: at public sale a part only of 39 cases 2 boxes 2 bags Pe tnang was sold. Pimento is in scanty supply, and is ',wanted; buyers, in consequence, have been cons pa2led to pay the stiff rates of 4-0 to 5.-id by private treaty : et auction 150 hags were taken in at 5d for s a id, which is above the value. Cloves are unaltered in value, but few sales have been made. Ginger is not much wawa, but holders are not inclined to give way flinch it, price: at auction 24 brls of Jamaica were sold sit 51s to fitls for good ord and mid. Cassia Lignea is held for pre=vious rates, but less desire has been shown to do business. Cinnamon is not offered upon lower terms, but the amount of business transacted has been limited in all descriptions. Cassia Buds are still much in.aght after, and the rates obtained have been equal to these of this day week. Black Pepper is not much wanted either for home consumption or exportation. RUX, BLIANDY, AND HaLLANDS.—Although Leeward island Rum can be obtained at a further reduction in prices, still the operations have been upon a small scale only at 2a lod to as per gallon proof strength. East India is not much in request, and the tendency of quota tions i 5 (idWnwards--only a small amount of business has roten transacted at 2s Bd. to 23 ad proof with certificate. ilaaaerara has been operated in with caution, and there a disposition evinced to Sell strouz qualities at 3s 10d to 4s 4d. There has been little desire s h own on the part to, exporters er the home trade to operate in Jamaica, -and tee small ismels disposed of were upon rather lower terms.

(Abridged from the Essex Herald.) The most destructive conflagration witnessed in this town for many years occurred at an early hour on Satur day morning ; but though a large amount of property has fallen a sacrifice, we have happily not to add the loss of human life to the calamity. The fire broke out about two o'clock on the premises of Mr. Bancroft, a tinman, in Conduit-street: hearing a crackling noise, he jumped out of bed, and proceeding down stairs found his sitting room full of smoke, and on opening the door, which led to a large and lofty workshop behind, he saw the flames at the extreme end rushing upwards and running along the ceiling ; he immediately returned to his wife, and both in a very terrified state made their escape by the front door. The house being timber-built, as well as all those adjacent, in a few minutes Mr. Finch's on the left and Mr. Mison's on the right were also one mass of fire; the former with his wife escaped in their night clothes, after throwing out two beds, and Mr. Mison had great difficulty in getting out his five children in safety. The fire had been early observed by a lad named Overty, who slept during the night under a dog•cart, opposite his grand-father's cottage, in Union-yard; he states that a few minutes after two o'clock, he heard a crash of glass falling, when a dog barked, and on going into the yard he saw a blaze issuing frum Bancroft's side, window, which is in Union-yard; be cried " fire," and then aroused his grandfather and his neighbours. The cry was quickly taken up and conveyed along the streets, bringing the engines and vast numbers of the townspeople by degrees to the spot. In the rear of these houses a workshop occupied by Mr. Dowsett, cabinet maker; Mison's bake-office; and a cottage tenanted by a washerwoman named Baker were also on fire; and at the same time Overty's cottage on the opposite side of the yard was in flames, which communicating to two warehouses behind and contigu ous to Mrs. Sorrell's in Conduit-street, threatened anni hilation to Mr. Dutton's printing-office and all the neighbouring property. The engines before this had sl'ot into active play—first the Economic; and about half-past two the Essex Equitable arrived, the Sun and he Royal Exchange following. Royal Exchange engine was s t a ti one d i n B e ll ‘m .he river sid e , th e h ose attac h e d to i t b e i ng one t thousand The b the feet length.in of water, fhrth an Notwithstanding continuedthis , it w o p r o k u i r n e g d theuntil e'Pios Streams fire was got under. The Sila "face engine, which fortunately stood in Union yard,was suppli e d b y a double line of persons tromtilerver , and preserved much property in the rear. 4t, an early period the telegraph announced the disaster at ingatpstone, and in a very sh ort time the small but - 4 powerful ensi, fromarrived that t own, which was es sentially useful. the united efforts of the firemen and others—by the falling in k,f portions of houses and the nulling down of burning raftess, rihich tended to ;mother the fire—in about an hour and a half it had evi lently received a check, and in another hour it was gra- j dually overcome, though not before the whole of the pro_ perty we have named was, with the exception of a ftw walls and chimneys, levelled with the ground. Though the fire was effectually subdued by six or SUN, LONDON, seven o'clock, the engines continued to play for some hours upon the burning ruins, which covered a very large space, extending in front about 70 feet and 100 feet in depth. We cannot with certainty estimate the extent of the damage, but we imagine it will exceed 3,0001. The following will, we think, be found a pretty cor rect summary of the property destroyed : Mr. Finch, green grocer—house destroyed ; all the furniture destroyed —not insured. Mr. Bancroft—house destroyed, with furniture and stock; the latter insured for 2001. in the Economic. Mr. Mison—house, stock, and furniture destroyed; the latter insured for 100/. in the Economic. The above premises, with several cottages behind, one of which (Mrs. Baker's) was consumed, belonged to the representatives of the late Mr. R. S. Cooke, and are insured in the Essex Economic, in the names of Capt. Stone (who married his daughter) and Mr. Wenden, the trustees. Mr. Wenden has also a separate in surance in the same office, to cover his interest in a lease for 100/. Mr. Drake—front and side walls only standing—fur niture destroyed, not insured. Mr. Bond—walls and part of roof standing—furaiture and stock damaged in removal—insured in Essex Eco nomic for 150/. Mr. Barnes—walls and part of roof standing—wash house behind, with two coppers, destroyed—bake house and oven partially injured-7 sacks of flour, a quarter of pea-meal, and two tons of coal burnt—furni ture much damaged —Estimates loss at nearly 2001. not insured. The three last-mentioned houses belonged to Mr. Thomas Wackrill, and were uninsured. In Union-yard, the property destroyed in the rear of the above-named premises consisted of a nearly new oven, built for Mr. Mison, and which cost upwards of 60L, insured ; a workshop in the occupation of Mr. Dor sett, cabinet maker, and partly over the above, in which were goods valued at 200 L, but Mr. D. is covered by in surance in the Royal Exchange ; these were all burnt, together with the tools belonging to three workmen, valued at upwards of 601. ; a cottage occupied by Mrs. Baker, who lost nearly all her goods, and among them a. mangle, by which she gained her livelihood ; and an un occupied cottage much damaged. On the other side of Union-yard two cottages were nearly consumed, one occupied by Overty, a pensioner, and the other used as a warehouse by Mr. Duttan ; in the latter, a billiard table and a mangle were burnt, not insured ; two warehouses adjoining were completely destroyed, with their valuable contents, one occupied by Mr. Eagle, chemist, in which was deposited a large quantity of resin, oil, pitch, and drugs, valued at nearly 3001., insured in the Essex Equitable for 200/. the other, by Messrs. White and Sandford, curriers, who lost a large quantity of goods which had just been re ceived, besides goods in manufacture, trade implements, &c.; damage estimated at 1001., insured in the Economic for 50L only; the back part of Mrs. Sorrell's was the only other property destroyed in that direction. The cottages and warehouses, with Mrs. Sorrell's premises, are insured in the Essex and Suffolk Equitable. The origin of the fire is involved in some obscurity. Mr. Bancroft had erected a small furnace in his work shop which was officially inspected, and allowed by the Essex Economic-office, but Mr. B. states that it was not used later than seven o'clock on the evening previous to the fire, and when he retired to rest early the 'pre mises were quite safe. The ruins are still in a smouldering state, though an engine was playing upon them on Saturday and Sunday nights until a late hour. NATIONAL VACCINE ESTABLISH- MENT. Copy of the last report from the National Vaccine Establishment, dated May, 1847, to her Majesty's Prin cipal Secretary of State for the Home Department. (Just presented to Parliament by her Majesty's com mand.) TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, BART., ETC. Sir,—The diminution of small-pox and the further extension and success of vaccine protection during the past year impart to our present report a cheerful and hopeful character. We are encouraged to believe that the prejudices, negligence, and apathy which, on the part of the poor, have so unfortunately retarded the progress and opposed the success of vaccination, are gradually giving way under the influence of a convincing experience, and the persuasive counsel and advocacy of the medical pro fession. Our Board continues to transmit the vaccine virus to every quarter of the globe, and we have the satisfaction to state that, after successive failures, it has at length proved completely successful in Mauritius; a similar success has attended it in the Cape Verd Islands; and at Ferrisberg, Vermont, North America, our correspon dent informs us that upwards of a thousand families have been vaccinated, and that a further supply of lymph is required of us. _ In the distressed districts of Ireland the small-pox has been found to have extended with the increased cala mity of the country, as we are taught by experience will invariably occur with contagious diseases under circum stances of extreme poverty and scanty diet. During the last year 155,774 charges of lymph have been dis tributed, and 116,323 persons reported as having been vaccinated. There are at present twelve vaccine stations in the metropolitan districts, and we have reason to hope that the liberality of the Government will place at our disposal an additional grant for the support of four other stations, to meet the increasing demands of a widely expanding population; at present the poorer inhabitants of the populous districts of Lambeth, Chelsea, and parts of Westminster are wholly unprovided.

The following is the half-yearly joint report of the Inspectors of Factories (just laid before Parliament): — Factory Office, May 27, 1847. Sir—We have the honour to inform you that, in con formity with the Factory and Print Works Acts, we have met to confer on the state of our respective dis tricts, and on such matters as concern us jointly towards the fulfilment as nearly as possible, of an uniform admi nistrations of these Aets through the United Kingdom. We have read and considered the reports which we have severally addressed to you in regard to our respective districts, and nothing has occurred that indicates any want of uniformity in our proceedings in all that relates to the interpretation of the Acts and the observance of their several provisions. Many naafi mills for carding wool are scattered on streams in remote parts of England, Scotland, and Wales ; these mills are only occasionally at work, and the . wool carded is chiefly for the use of the neighbouring cottagers. In these mills very few per sons are employed, generally only the family of the oc• cupier. This kind of rural occupation cannot be identified with the factory system ; and although, strictly speaking, these mills come within the letter of the law, we have considered that we exercise a sound discretion in direct ing the various sub-inspectors not to consider them as requiring that same degree of supervision as establish ments where the factory system, properly so called, prevails. The remote situation of these woollen mills, in rural districts, and frequently on mountain sides, the purely domestic character of the occupation, and the usually healthy state of the children and young persons em to justify this softening o f t h e operation of a law intended to co ployed, appear to us if t control mills of a totally different character. It having been suggested to us that each inspector should for the future lay before you in his half-yearly report i statement of the number and names of the persons summoned for offences, with other details, hi therto laid before Parliament on an annual special mo tion, we have severally followed that plan on the pre sent occasion ; but as the return made in pursuance of the order of the House of Commons, dated the 25th of January last, includes the prosecutions for the months of November and December last, the present returns only include the prosecutions for four months, viz., from the Ist of January to the 30th of April. If you approve of this mode of making these returns, our future reports will, of course, each embrace a period of six months. We ha►e the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servants, LEONARD HORNER. T. JONES HOWELL. ROBERT' J. SAUNDERS. JAMES STUART. To the Right Honourable Sir Grey, Bart, &c. ACCIDENT BY GUN COTTON. Monday evening Mr. W. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on view of the body of H. Redford, aged thirty-three, who was in employment at the con greve rocket manufactory, of Mr. Q. Forsyth Wade, West-Ham Abbey-marshes, and who with Michael Gur ney and H. Tuft, lost their lives by an explosion of gun cotton. J. Brayley, principal of the factory, having described the accident, Mr. Wade said he had the evidence of scientific gen tlemen to show that the accident arose from compressed air, which being overheated ignited the gun cotton. Mr. Edward Horton Wilmot, assistant lecturer, at the London Hospital, said that Mr. Wade requested him to prepare some cotton which would not take fire easily. He manufactured a quantity which he submitted to the weight of a 141 b hammer; the blows being repeatedly given. He believed that the accident arose from the compres sion of atmospheric air, which, being overheated, gave out its caloric, and set fire to the cotton, causing the explosion. This would ignite at a heat of from 320 to 350 degrees. He believed that every precaution was used to prevent an accident, both in the preparation of the gun cotton, which was made not to explode, and in the care taken to fill the cylinder, and his surprise was that one did occur. Mr. P. B. Wall, gunpowder manufacturer, said that he prepared the cotton, which was made weaker than usual. He believed the accident arose from compressed air. He has used the gun-cotton since October last, for making rockets, and has had only one accident, when a biy was injured. That occurred while using the monkey. He has since used the lever, which gives a more gradual and regular pressure, and no accident has since occurred. When the explosion be alluded to took place, the cylinder or tube was about one foot long and two inches in diameter, and about ten ounces of cotton were rammed in the tube. He thought the gun cotton useful for artillery practice, and it possesses a far greater range of power. Dr. Letheby, lecturer on chemistry, said that it was his opinion the accident arose from friction of the cotton on the sides of the cylinder. Had it taken place by IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. Lord REDESDALE protested against that portion of the Bill which provided that the Commissioners should sit in Parliament as he considered no good would accrue from it. He should say not content to the Bill. Lord CANIOYS advised the Government to well consider the 23d clause. =After a desultory conversation the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Friday. BATHS AND WASHHOUSES BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Baths and Washhouses Bill. Lord CAMPBELL stated that the object of the Bill was to provide baths and washhouses of such a cha racter as should be accessible to all classes of the people. The maximum charges, under the Act, would be 6 , 3. for a warm, and 3d. for a cold bath. The Noble Lord ridiculed the idea that the baths and washhouses to be established by this Bill, would enter into competition with the baths at present in existence, which were only intended to be used by the wealthier classes of society, and urged their Lordships to adopt the clause. Lord MONTEAGLE opposed the clause on the ground that it was contrary to every just principle of economical science. The Bishop of LONDON supported the clause. He thought that a few private interests ought not to be allowed to interfere with the interests of the public at large, more especially with such advantages as were proposed to be conferred by this Bill. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, Lord STANLEY said that the establishment of public baths was of great public advantage. With regard to the erection of two classes of baths, it had been defended by the Noble Lord who brought forward the motion on the same principle as lunatic asylums, where one class of patients were charged, and the pro fits from them went to defray the charge of the poorer class of patients. He was prepared to support the clause as it stood, but would suggest the propriety of fixing a minimum as well as a maximum price. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE made a few obser vations which were inaudible in the gallery. Lord MONTEAGLE said that nothing had occurred to change the opinion he entertained, and being satisfied that he had done his duty, he would not press his objec tions further. The Bill then went through Committee. Their Lordships then adjourned. • HOUSE OF COMMONS. June 29.

COMMITTEE on the NAVIGATION LAWS. The Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the operation of the navigation laws re-assembled on Thursday. The following mem bers were present:-Mr. M. Gibson (chairman); Mr. Liddell, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Ricardo, Sir Howard Douglas, Admiral I)undas, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Lyall. Mr. Robert Anderson was examined. By Mr. Liddell-He was a shipowner resident at South Shields, and was chairman of the Shipowners' Society at that port. He had been engaged in the North American, the East and West India, the Medi terranean, the Baltic, and the coasting trades. He had a general knowledge of the operation of the navigation laws, and he considered that they afforded employment rather than protection to British shipping. The witness handed in a statement of the average rates of freight from 1817 to 1846 for timber from Quebec, deals and tallow from St. Peter s b urg h , and coals from Newcastle to London. In the first four years from 1817, the average rate of freight for timber from Quebec was 21. 16s. 3d. per load; in the second four years it was 12/.. 7s. 6d. per load; in the third four years, 21. 9s. 4:id. per load; in the fourth four years, 21. Is. lOi-d.; in the fifth four years, 11. 18s. 9d.; in the sixth four years, 21. ls. 3d.; in the seventh four years, 2/. ls.; in the eighth four years, ending in 1845, 11. 14s. Bd.; in 1846 the average rate was I/. 19s. Id.; and at present it was 2/. ss. per load. The average rate of freight for deals from St. Petersburgh was, for the four years com mencing in 1817, 41. 3s. lid. per load; for the next four years, 41. 3s. 9d.; for the next, Si. 12s. 6d.; the next, 31 Bs. 101 d.; the next, 3/. 9s. 6d.; the next, 3/. Cs.; the next, 21. I Is. 1,1 d.; the next, ending in 1845, 2/. 19s. 4d.; and the average rate at present was, he be lieved, 41. 2s. 6d. per load. Mr. Mitchell-It appears from your statements that the rates of freight in the Canada trade, which was pro tected, have fallen since 1817, while the rates in the St. Petersburgh trade, which was not protected, are the same now as they were in 1817? Mr. Anderson-It is so. By the Chairman—At present England had the whole of the Russian trade; but in consequence of a late treaty of reciprocity with Russia he apprehended competition with the vessels of that country, because the Russians allowed their new ships to trade to the Russian ports for the first three years without paying port charges, and they were allowed to come to this country on the same terms as British ships. By Mr. Liddell—The various treaties of reciprocity which had been entered into with foreign countries by successive Governments had proved very injurious to British shipping. He had before him a statement, which showed how these treaties, and the many other relaxa tions in the navigation laws which had been made from time to time, had affected th e t ra d e o f N ewcast l e. The statementincluded the amount of shipping engaged in the import and export trades between Newcastle and Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Prussia, Mecklenburg, Hanover, Oldenburg, the Hanse Towns, Holland, and Belgium ; in short, every country, north of France, ex cepting Russia, the trade with which he had stated Eng land already had. Taking the average of the years 1520, 1821, 1822, an d 1823 , w hi c h was previous to the dates of many of the treaties with those countries, he found that there were entered inwards 99 British vessels, and 92 foreign vessels ; and that 330 British and 218 foreign vessels cleared out with cargoes. In the year 1844, 113 British and 332 foreign vessels were entered inwards ; and 557 British and 1,068 foreign vessels cleared cut with cargoes . I n 1846 , t h e num b er of British vessels entered inwards was 102, and the num ber of foreign vessels was 449 ; the number of British vessels that cleared out with cargoes was 629, and the number of foreign vessels that cleared out was 1,379. The result of the 23 years was, that British vessels trading between the port of Newcastle and the foreign countries he had named had increased only 70 per cent., while foreign ships had increased 489 per cent. ByMr. Ricardo—During the last 30 years there had been an increase in British shipping, but not at all in proportion with the increasing trade of the country. The increase of sailing tonnage, exclusive of colonial, during that period, would amount to about 300,000 ' tom. compressed atmosphere, being overheated, it would have happened before, as took place in the case alluded to by Mr. Wall. The CORONER summed up, observing that no blame was attributable to any one. Verdict—Accidental death. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 29. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-I I sack shortly after Five o'clock. QUALIFICATION OF PEERS (SCOTLAND) • BILL. This Bill went through Committee, on the motion of the Earl of ROSEBERY. POOR-LAW ADMINISTRATION BILL. ) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose to movel the second reading of the Poor -law Administration Bill., The object of the Bill, as their Lordships were doubtless aware, was to have the Poor-law Bill, which all, he thought, would agree was an excellent measure, pro perly carried into effect. Hitherto certain individuals only had been entrusted with carrying out the provisions, but the present measure proposed to increase the means of carrying out its administration, by increasing the re-: sponsibility and number of the public functionaries , under it. It was maturely considered whether the power, to be exercised under this Bill should be vested under three Commissioners, or under one; but it was even tually thought that it would be better to vest it in they individual, and to have others joined with him in carry ing out the details of the measure. Another improvement suggested was, that the head of the board should have a. seat in Parliament, and by that means every explanation. asked for would be given by a person who was competent to supply it, and so assimilate it to the Board of Control.. The Noble Marquis concluded by moving that the Bill; be read a second time, and on an early day, should there be any objection to the details, an opportunity) would be given for cons idering th em in Committee. Lord BROUGHAM said that he adhered in all essenJ tial points to the great law of 1834, and he believed the{ present Bill was an improvement in the machinery for carrying the Bill into effect. The Poor-law Commisl sioners and their secretary, no doubt, were very obi noxious to those who were agitati ng t h e country by, demonstrations and by invectives through the press, and it, therefore, was the duty of Par. liament to see that they did not suffer the law to be carried out improperly. He re -t gretted, however, that the Commissioners had not mani fested the firmness for which Mr. Chadwick and Captaiti Nicholls had been remarkable. The law had thus, in many instances, been improperly administered, or it had not been carried out in the spirit in which it was passed. The Commissioners had not bad till) moral courage to st an d u p f or th e pure a d m i n i stratiod of the law, owing to the severe censure of the press.' It was a most lamentable thing that the Commissioners had been dismayed by public clamour. If a man or apublic body were innocent, those censures would pass them by innocuously, and as they had but a public duty to pert. form, they should not have heeded those censures. The law was not framed to benefit the rich, but to benefit th poor, and the man who would carry out the law in its i n t. tegrity was the best friend the poorcould have. They Ma culla have allowed these "paper-pallets," as Cromwell called the attacks of the press, to pass over their heads un heeded, and not have succumbed to the clamour of anti poor-law demagogues and vituperative diatribei. When they came to debate the measure he should be ready to fully discuss the measure—he should then be ready, as now, to condemn the conduct of t hose who had flinched from carrying out the principle of the law, whilst, at the same time, he should be ready to bear his testimony to the merits of those who had performed the duties assigned to them in the proper WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE ;0 4 1841 Mr. Ricardo—Mr. Porter states that the sailing ton nage has, since 1824, increased 618,000 tons, and that the whole British tonnage has increased 1,500,000 tons,. Examination continued—He would say that ship building has inci+ased generally in the ports of the north of England since the passing of the reciprocity treaties with foreign countries. It had not increased in Newcastle, but it had in Sunderland. By Mr. Mitchell—He was aware that sugar was allowed to be imported into Prussia, in English ships, from Havannah and Cuba, but he did not consider that a proof that the Prussians treated us with more liberality than we treated them because it was a mere nominal trade. By Mr. Liddell—He believed that the shipping of the ports in the Adriatic was increasing in their trade with this country. By the Chairman—He thought that Parliament was right in adopting any measures which it thought calcu lated to benefit the people in the way of providing food for them or otherwise; but he did not think that the navigation laws hindered the importation of corn when there was no duty on it. By Mr. Liddell—He did not believe that freights had been lowered ls. a quarter for corn since the navigation laws were suspended. • The Committee then adjourned. IMPORTANT LIBEL CASE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH—Dublin, June 24. THE QUEEN, AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE EARL OF LUCAN, V. THE HON. FREDERICK CAVENDISH. This was a criminal information, filed at the instance of the prosecutor, for libels published of him in his ca pacity of Lieutenant of the county Mayo, and which ap peared in the Castlebar Telegraph, of which the defendant was the sole registered proprietor. Mr. Napier, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Holmes), stated the case for the plaintiff: The libel complained of consisted of three articles which appeared in the Mayo Telegraph of the 14th of October. The first article, which was headed " Public Works," after alluding to the suffering of the people, went on to state that their hopes of employment were frustrated by the conduct of the Earl of Lucan, who, in his capacity of lieutenant of the county, convened a meeting of the magistrates of the county, at which resolu tions, prepared by himself, condemning th e pro visions of th e - Relief Act, were carried, and a deputation was appointed to proceed to Lon don to remonstrate with the Government against the provisions of the Act being carried into effect. " This proceeding, suggested by Lord Lucan, and aided by the influence of other landlords throughout Ireland, induced the Lord-Lieutenant to violate the pro visions of the Labour Act, by which the employment of the people has been so long postponed as to drive them in some instances to acts of desperation which has caused the shedding of blood." * * * "We do not hesitate to say that Lord Lucan has exercised the influence he pos sesses as lieutenant of the county to deprive the poor of that prompt relief which the Legislature provided for them. On his Lordship rests an awful responsibility, as his remonstrance against the provisions of the Relief Act has endangered the lives of thousands who are now sinking under famine and disease." The next article rrferred to a letter inserted in another part of the paper from M. J. A. Browne, J. P., D.L., and stated that the writer was entitled to public gratitude for the "expo sure of conduct extremely offensive, and of the most un heard-of nature, .pursued by the Earl of Lucan ; the power that is conferred on Lord Lucan, as Lieutenant of the county, has been used by him in a manner insulting to the Roman Catholic clergy, and to gentlemen of property, of rank, and undisputed respectability ;" it concluded by recom mending a strong remonstrance to Government for the removal of Lord Lucan from the office of Lieutenant of Mayo. The third article complained of contrasted the conduct of Lord' Ltrian and certain magistrates in the county of Cork, with respect to their anxiety to provide employment for the people, and thus concluded :—" Hear it, famishing Roman Catholics of the barony of Carra— three Protestants—the landlord, his Caleb Quotern, and the rector of Aglish, sitting in committee, for what pur pose may be easily inferred, from the fact that they would transact no business while your reverend clergymen Messrs. Geraghty and Curley remained in their presence !" The Earl of Liman and- some-other witnesses-were examined, after which , Mr. BUTT, Q.C., addressed the jury-for the defendant. He dwelt forcibly on the circumstances of frightful ne cessity in which the country was situated at the time the articles complained of were written. He thought the jury would be of opinion that the charge of delaying the relief operation was not too strong to have been brought against the Earl of Lucan, when the people were dying of starvation. In these articles, written by the Honourable. Frederick Cavendish in his capacity as the editor of a newspaper, there was not one word of personal or private attack on the prosecutor. The charges made against him were in his public capacity, and the jury should not judge of those charges by the same rigid rule that they would judge of charges brought against private character. A justification had not been pleaded, because it would be inconvenient, and in its nature very difficult to sustain ; but they would remember that the very moment he sought to show the circumstances con• necred with the case, he was stopped by his Learned Friend ; and he begged to draw their attention also to the fact, that a letter of Mr. J. A. Brown, addressed to the Earl of Lucan, complaining that he and his father were excluded from a private meeting held at his (the Earl of Lucan's) residence, was not in cluded in the indictment, because the matters stated in it could be put in evidence. He begged of the jury to consider the circumstances under which the articles were written—they were written when the county Mayo was, in common with other parts of Ireland, reduced to a state of extreme destitution, when the people of that county were in a state which was a stigma on a civilized people. The Labour Rate Act—however inefficient it might be in many respects—was at that time the only means of saving the lives of thousands who were pe rishing with hunger ; and any step which tended to de lay the relief of the people then, no matter how expen sive the mode of relief might be, ought to be reprobated. If the jury put themselves in the .place of the defendant when he wrote these articles, with the people perishing about him, their indignation would not be more mode rate than his at the conduct of .the Earl of Lucan. Mr. Butt went through the various articles paragraph by paragraph, and contended that none of them were libellous. The Chief Justice, in charging the jury, read several passages from the articles complained of, and then said, that if the defendant meant to impute to Lord Lucan that he was actuated by mercenary views by postponing the operation of the Labour Rate Act, that was in the opinion of the court a libel. The question whether the articles were, in point of fact, libellous or not, was entirely for the jury. Upon that the court gave no opinion. The Chief Justice concluded his charge by expressing his re prehension of the practice of counsel making appeals to particular classes of jurors, as being of one religion, or as entertaining particular political opinions. He adminis tered justice without knowing the opinions of any man; and nothing was likely to be more prejudicial to the calm and true discharge of justice than appeals to pre judices and feelings which were associated with the reli gion or belief of any man. i ll'he jury retired at four o'clock, and in an hour re turned to ask if the articles imputed corrupt motives, but there was no malice on the part of the defendant, did this constitute a libel ? The Chief Justice observed, that if corrupt motivcs were imputed the law implied malice. The jury retired, and a after a considerable time came into Court, and handed to the registrar their verdict of " Not Guilty." TRIAL FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. THE QUEEN, AT THE PROSECUTION OF BROWNE CLAYTON, v. HENRY LANAUZE, STOCK BROKER. Friday the Court of Queen's Bench was occupied the greater part of the day in hearing the above case, which arose out of the ci rcums t ance of the traverser havirg been charged with obtaining money under false pre tences, and for embezzlement of moneys entrusted to his charge by Mr. Browne Clayton, for the purpose of in vestment in Government securities, which moneys the traverser applied to his own uses. The jury found the traverser guilty on two counts, one of which charged him with embezzlement. The judgment of the Court cannot be pronounced until I next term. The traverser in the meantime stands out on bail. HERTFORD MIDSUMMER SES SIONS. Before the Marquis of SALISBURY and a full Bench of Magistrates.) THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY, APPEL LANTS; W. PARKER, ESQ., G. S. THORNTON, ESQ., AND OTHER COUNTY MAGISTRATES, RESPONDENTS. This matter, which has been long in dispute, and exciting considerable attention in this part of the county, was again brought before the public in the shape of an appeal against a conviction by the Magistrates at Ware Petty Sessions. It appeared that the commencement of these proceed ings originated in an information laid by the Rev. W. Blakesley against the company, for not stopping a certain train previous to crossing the road at Amwell end, in the Hertford line, as directed by the company's Act, 7th Vict., cap. 35, which s t ates t h at t h e " train to and from Hertford and London shall in all cases stop within 150 yards of the said road of Amwell-end," &c. The hearing under this information took place before the bench of Magistrates sitting in petty sessions at Ware, on Tuesday, the 15th instant, when the company was convicted, and a fine of 40s. inflicted. Against this conviction the company appealed to the sessions as above, the chief point in dispute being as to the construction or meaning of the word " stop," which it was contended, on the part of the company, only meant a slackening of speed, and not coming to a complete and perfect standstill. For the respondents it was contended that the mean• ing of the Act was that the stoppage should be '• actual and entire," and which might be presumed from the 4th and sth Victoria (the company's original Act), when a " maximum speed" was prescrioed as contradistinguished from " actual stoppage." The Bench considered that " actual and entire stop page" was meant by the Act, an d accor di ng l y confirmed the previous conviction. THE LAKES.—The delightful village of Bowness has of late been a scene of bustle. At present it is un usually full of visitors. Although it is much extended, the accommodation is inadequate to the demand. The steamer on Windermere Lake is a great inducement, and of late has been , very gay with parties in pursuitof pleasure and vari e d an d romant i c scenery. The facilities for visiting the queen of lakes by the " rail," and other means, are su'great, that numbers are induce] to take a peep in the morning at the beautiful scenery of the lake district, and return to their homes in the evening.— Carlisle Patriot. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Green appeared against the motion. Both motions were adjourned at the rising of the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Joseph Boak, a warehouseman at Mr. Lloyd's, printer, Salisbury -square, was eharged with robbing his em ployer of a quantity of cheap publications, and Thomas Harman; a shopman at Mr. Berger's, -a bookseller, in Holywell-street, was charged with receiving them, know ing them to be stolen. The prosecution was conducted by counsel. The Learned Gentleman (whose name we did not catch) stated that his client issued a number of cheap pe riodicals, and the prisoner was employed in delivering them to the trade when they came to purchase at the premises, another person taking the cash, to facilitate business and to prevent embezzlement. The evidence would show that, on several occasions, Alr.Berger's man had come "with a list of periodicals, and had been served with them, it was supposed, by the prisoner Boak, who then called out to the cashier to take a sum less than the actual value of the books. It was presumed that the two prisoners subsequently shared between them the difference between the real value of the goods and the price actually paid, though this could not be shown. Mr. J. G. Berger, of 19, Holywell -street, Strand, stated that, as clerk to his father, it was his duty to make out the lists of periodicals wanted, and to send fur them. On the 9th instant he sent the prisoner to Mr. Lloyd's for publications of various kinds, to the amount of 11. 11s., and he brought them home correctly. On the 16th he sent him for goods is the amount of 11. 4s. Bd. ; on the 23d to the amount of 175.8 d. ; and on the 24th to the amount of 10s. I Id. He brought them home correctly. To prove that by the direction of the prisoner Boak, smaller sums had been paid, the cashier, Anthony Ber ridge, an aged deaf man, said on the 16:h he received 11. 2s. from the person who paid in the name of Berger. Mr. Alderman WooD asked him if it was the prisoner Harman who paid him that money? The witness said he could not recollect. He knew the prisoner, as he did a great many more, by sight, but without knowing in whose employ they were. The prisoner was not the only per son who delivered goods. Mr. Alderman WOOD said there would be a legal dif ficulty in prosecuting, in such a state of things. It might not be the prisoner Harman that received the goods, nor Boak that delivered them. It was not shown that Boak received any money. The counsel said he could go farther. Charles Wilson, in the service of Mr. Lloyd, deposed that on the 9th and 16th he watched Harman from Holywell•street to Mr. Lloyd's, and back to Holvwell street, and saw that he neither bought nor sold any books on the way. Mr. Lloyd stated that he was watching the prisoners on the 9th. As soon asHarman left the premises with the publications, Boak followed him, and they went together into a public-house round tne corner. He did not know what passed between them there, for he re turned to see what sum Harman had paid to Berridge, knowing he could ascertain as precisely the sum he ought to have paid. Mr. Alderman WOOD said the evidence was incon clusive. The difficulties had not been removed, and he must discharge the prisoners. Anna Sophia Lonyfoot, a woman about 40 years of age, was charged with begging in St. Paul's Churchyard, she having at the time a savings' bank book in her pocket, with deposits to her account to the extent of 361. Mr. Alderman WOOD committed her to Bridewell for a month, and ordered her maintenance to be defrayed out of her deposits. MARLBOROUGH-STRBET. lhuaergoefds with h h e a vpirnog ps t e o r G l t e y e n o efae Mr.nDk z n .c F o k t e e e n r s s ; i a n n a a d n e d g h o e l md,isoti tArundel .he a s v a c The prisoner and prosecutor lodged in the same house in Great Titehfield-street. The prosecutor received a sum of money from B r i s t o l, w hi c h h e placed in a carpet bag, in his apartment. During his absence the apart ment was entered, the lock of the bag forced open, and the money taken away. The prisoner left his lodgings suddenly, and at the time was in arrear for rent. The prisoner was traced to have left a sum of money, in notes and gold, at the house of a publican, in High-street, which sum he afterwards drew out of the publican's bands. It was presumed that this money formed a portion of the property stolen from the prosecutor's carpet-bag. The explanation of the prisoner was that his father in-law had sent him recently a sum of upwards of 301., and that this was the money which had been left in the hands of the publican. The prisoner's father-in-law was called, and he said he had sent some bank notes and other money to the prisoner. This witness prevaricated in his statement on cross examination, and gave such contradictory accounts of the circumstances under which the alleged remittances took place, that Mr. Bingham said he should not place the least dependence on what the witness stated. He did not believe a word of the evidence of the witness about his having sent money to the prisoner, and there fore the defence fell to the ground. A police-constable, who had been to Derby, wher e the prisoner's moth er li ve d, sa id t h at t h e prisoner and his father-in-law had been at variance for some time. The prisoner's mother had remitted him a pound or two only, Par. Robinson, who attended for the prisoner, said he should call witnesses to prove that the prosecutor was never in possession of the sum of money which he stated he had lost. In that case he presumed the Magistrate would not detain the prisoner. Mr. BINGHAM said he should certainly commit the prisoner for trial. If it were shown that the prosecutor could not have lost the money, he should still commit the prisoner for having property supposed to be stolen in his possession. Mr. Robinson then proceeded to question Mr. Arundel with respect to the money he said he had lost. Mr. Arundel stated that he had formerly been in business at Bristol, and had been obliged to compound with his creditors. A young man named Beard, formerly in his service, had been in the habit of sending him sums of money from time to time, to satisfy the creditors. 11- had received upwards of 601. recently in this way, and the money lost formed part of the money remitted. Mr. Robinson said he wished for further time to make inquiry into the truth of this statement. Mr. BuquilAm consented to give the prisoner till Thursday next to make the requisite inquiries. A second charge was then brought forward. Mr. Edward Taylor, surgeon, Cheltenharn•common, said the prisoner was in his employ at the commence went of the present year. Seeing in the newspapers the particulars of his apprehension, he recollected that in January last he- missed a cheque out of a letter, for 11/. 18s. This cheque had been remitted by a gentleman named Brereton, and witness had subsequently ascer tained that the prisoner had changed the cheque at a tralesman's shop in Clapham. Mr. William Brewington, b3ot maker, High-street, said the prisoner brought a cheque to his shop, which cheque was cashed by Mrs. Brewington, in his absence. The prisoner called some tins() afterwar ds and asked if the cheque was all right. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, June 29. (Before Sir L. SHADWELL.) HANSARD V. HANSARD. Mr. J. Parker, with Mr. Rolt and Mr. Southgate, applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant, James Hansard, late partner in the firm of Hansard and Co., printers to the House of Commons, from direct ing the sheriff of Middlesex to sell the household fur niture and stock-in-trade, now upon the premises in Great Turnstile, Lincoln's-inn-fields, in pursuance of a writ of execution issued on the 19th of May, 1847. The defendant, who was lately at the head of the firm, and is the father of the plaintiff, about the year 1844, being desirous of retiring from business, agreed with his son Luke James, the present plaintiff, who was also his partner, that the stock should be valued, and his (the father's) proportion awarded him. Upon a valuation of the stock being taken, it was ascer tained that the defendant was entitled to a sum of 22,261/. 19s. sd. It was then agreed by deed, dated the same year, that this sum should be paid to the defendant in half-yearly instalments of 1,5001., with interest up to the day of payment. There was also a second agreement, by which the plaintiff undertook to pay to the defendant an annuity of 400 l by quarterly payments. The due payment of the whole was secured by a warrant of attorney, with judgment signed, on which the defendant, in case of default being made in payment of one instalment, or of one quarterly payment of the annuity, was empowered to issue execution for the whole sums respectively. In March last the quarterly payment being in arrear, the defendant issued execution immediately, upon which being done the plaintiff paid the 1001. into Messrs. Hoare's bank. Under these cir cumstances, it was contended by the son, Luke James Hansard, that the defendant had no power to issue exe cution, and the present application for an injunction was accordingly made to the Court. It was contended by the defendant that he was entitled at all events to issue execution for the rent due on the premises, which still belonged to him; and also that the defendant's object was to preserve the property. It was stated that the son had been recently neglecting the business, and had incurred considerable expenses in starting and conducting a weekly newspaper, called the Spirit of the Times, of which he was the sole editor. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Busk appeared for the de fendant. The counsel for the defendant has not been heard, but it was arranged that the second motion should come on at the same time. HANSARD v. HANSARD. This was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted by his Honour on the 3d of June, restraining the defen dant, Luke James, who was plaintiff in the suit above mentioned, from interfering in the affairs of the part nership, except under the direction of the Court, or ne gotiating bills in the name of the firm. The plaintiff in this suit is Henry Hansard, the cousin of the de fendant, with whom he has been in partnership, as the plaintiff contended, for several years. A deed had been executed by which Henry Hansard con sented to advance a sum of 2,0001. as a contribu tion to the stock in trade, in consideration of which he was to be admitted as a partner, with one-twelfth share in the profits. The defendant, in consequence, as it was stated, of certain eccentricities, was dismissed from his situation as printer of the House of Commons, and his cousin, the plaintiff and partner, was appointed in his stead; shortly after which event the plaintiff caused to be inserted in the daily journals an advertisement an nouncing a dissolution of the partnership. In reply to this statement the defendant immediately caused to be inserted in the Morning Herald, of the 21st of May, an advertisement denying that any dissolution of the partnership had taken place, and threatening to take legal proceedings against the plaintiff for having made such a statement. The prisoner was ordered to be brought up again on Thursday on this charge also. W OR SHIP- S TR EE T. Thomas Smith, a ha w k er o f ear th enwa re, was charged with having attempted to strangle a young woman, named Mary Montgomery, an d a l s o with feloniously cutting and wounding her mother, whereby her life wal seriously endangered. The younger complainant, who exhibited a livid and extensive discolouration of the throat, stated that she had been living with the prisoner as his wife for the last eight mouths, and had suffered the most brutal ill-treat ment at his hands, during nearly the whole of that period. On the preceding afternoon he came home, and after beating her in an unmerciful manner, and declaring that he would murder her outright, he forced her down upon the bed, and passing a thick cord round her compressed it till she was on the point of strangulation. On hearing her cri es , h er mo th er ran i n to her assist ance,. but the moment she enter e d the prisoner exclaimed with an oath, " that he would do for her also, and snatching a knife from the tabl e , rus h e d towards her and made a desperate blow at her head. She instantly stag gered back into the yard bleeding profusely from a frg.ht inl gash abov e th e tem pl e , b ut was save d from failing by some of the neighbours, who conveyed her to the house of Mr. Wildbore, a surgeon, in Shoreditch, where the wound was dressed, and she was afterwards removed to the hospital.
