'IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS, June 22. LORD CHANCELLOR 500 k his seat on the Wool . rtly after Five o'clock. ngers from the Commons brought up several deh were read a first time. THE RAILWAY BILLS (No. HO .1-esru BROOGIIA.M said he saw by the Votes of the ether. House of Parliament that the Railway Bill (No 2) had been withdrawn, and he could conceive nothing mere ridiculous and laughable than the course Govern ment had pursued with respect to that measure. RAILWAY RESOLUTIONS. The Earl of' DEVON called the attention of the House, as, we understood, to the resolutions recently passed, and the decision of a Committee which he thought not in accordance with their spirit. Laird BEAUMONT said that he believed he was chairman of the Committee to which the Noble Earl had referred, but he was perfectly unable to hear anything wkiich fell from the Noble Earl in his speech, and had t'nerefore to labour under the disadvantage of answering a speech which he had not heard. The Noble Lord then proceeded to refer to the conduct of the Committee upon the Wexford Bill, as we understood, and contended that the decision was in strict conformity with the spirit of the resolutior,s recently adopted by the House, and they had intcsoduce.d amendments in conformity there with. The arirendments introduced into the Bill by the Commiteee were then agreed to. BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES BILL. Lr,rd CAMPBELL gave notice that on Monday next he 'should move that the House go into Committee on this Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the cirarchwardens of the collegiate church of Manchester att..-ayirg for an inquiry into the corporate revenues. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. The Bishop of NORWICH presented several petitions in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. The Bishop of OXFORD also presented a petition in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER, Sze., BILL. On the orAer of the day for going into Committee on this Bill being read, The Bishop of EXETER said that it was with con siderable pain to himself that he felt bound to oppose the further progress of this Bill. He was unwilling to make a motion, and would, therefore, content himself by say ing that the Bill did not meet with his approval in its present state. After a few words from Lerd BROUGHAM, with respeet to the law, as it related to the appointment of Spiritual and temporal Peers, The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with his Noble and Learned Friend in the opinion he had expressed upon the proposal of the Right Reverend Prelate. The House then went into Committee. On the 2d clause being proposed, Lord REDESDALE rose to move the amendment of - which he had given notice, namely, " And whereas doubts may arise whether bishops of the new sees to be established under the powers of this Act, may not demand, as of right, writs of summ , ns to par- Lament, be it enacted, pursuant to the declaration of her Majesty, herein before recited , that until her Majesty shall be graciously pleased to summon to Parliament any bishop holding one of the said _sees, no bishop Isolding that see shall be entitled to demand, as of right, a writ of summons to Parliament." It was always hitherto contended that where a Peerage was conferred a right to be summoned to Parliament eves also conferred, and they had always obtained in This country. except when the powers of this House were destroyed Ey a republican Gevernment. The Marquis of LANSDO re*Ne: was understood to oppose the insertion of the clause. He considered that the spiritual Peers sat in the House under totally dif ferent circumstances from the temporal Peers ; in their cue the right to the peerage did not descend from father to son as was the case with the other Peers. L,rd STANLEY thought that the mode in which this new bishop was to be appointed was must objectionable, inasmuch as it would be an obstruction upon the prero gative of the Crown, but it was more than this—it was an invasion of their rights, whether spiritual or tem poral.—(Hear. hear.) Independently of this objection in point of principle, it was also objectionable with respect to those other bishops who were to be at a future slay appointed. If, however, new bishops were to be appointed he considered that they must be appointed in a different mode, and under different circumstances, but if the plan of the Bill were carried out, many of the young talented members of the Church would be ex cluded from seats on the Bench. Besides establishing a dangerous precedent, it was seriously interfering with the prerogative of the Crown ; and he hoped, therefore, their Lordships would pause before they rejected the Amendment of his Noble Friend. They were called upon to establish Baronies without seats in that House, lead ho thought the principle was most dangerous and unwise. Just as well might they be asked to pass a Bill, restricting the number of Marquises who should hold units in that House. The Bishops of Exeter and Salisbury had just as much right to seats in that House as the Marquis of Exeter or the Marquis of Salisbury, and their Lordships had no legal right to deprive any Bishop of a seat in that House. For these reasons he certainly should give his support to the motion of his Noble and Learned Friend. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the difficulty really was not whether there should be a new bishopric founded, but whether he should have a seat in the House. It had been objected to 'this measure as an undue in terference with the rights of the Crown, of the Right Rev. Prelates, and the whole of the temporal Peers be sides. lie was at a loss to account how these results could follow from the passing of this Bill. Was the douse prepared to say that every new Bishop should have a seat in the House, without regard to the numbers to be appointed, or would their Lordships allow that proper spiritual superintendence to be afforded to the country, which was so much needed, by proper and effi cient persons, who would not have a seat in that House ? 'Those were the only two courses which he saw open for the House to adopt. He thought that the Bill was one which met the difficulties of the whole case, and he thought that it was one which was entitled to receive their Lordships support. The Marquis of BUTE said that he felt reluctantly compelled to oppose the further progress of the measure, and he should give his support to the amendment of his Noble Friend. The Bishop of EXETER said that in his opinion the present Bill would have the effect of placing a restraint upon the prerogative of the Crown, in the creation 01 new Bishops. The Bishop of' LONDON said as they might expect biro, as one of the Commissioners appointed by le r IlLajesty to carry out her Majesty's recommendations with respect to the appointment of new bishops, to say fl few words, he would do so. He was ready to take his share in the blame which might attach to those who had proposed this Bill. His Noble arid Learned Friend (the Bishop of Exeter) said that the right of a bishop to b , summoned to that House was created at the time of his investure ; but the right existed as well with respect to young as to old bishops. There was considerable weight in the objections made by the Noble Lords ; but then those from whom the Bill emanated had to deal with great difficulties, and they chose what appeared to them to be the best. After detailing the circumstances which had led to the introduction of the Bill, the Right Reverend Prelate proceeded to say, that he was of opinion that bishops, after they were ordained, :should reside some years in their diocese before they came to the metropolis. There ought always to be a sufficient number of bishops to represent the church ; but he did not think so large a number of new bishops should be appointed, as many Noble Lords seemed to suppose, because he thought that a bishop, by the aid of archdeacons, might be enabled to accomplish great good in his diocese. Upon these grounds he felt it his duty to support the Bill. Lord REDESDALE considered that the clause would . prove dangerous to the prerogative of the Crown, and therefore he should vote for its rejection. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and their Lordships divided:— For the amendment Against it •• Majority against the amendment The Bishop of OXFORD then proposed the insertion -of a clause (the purport of which did not reach the gallery) which was agreed to without a division. The Bishop of SALISBURY, on clause 3 being pro posed, moved an amendment regulating the rights and immunities of the deans and chapters in connexion with cathedral establishments of the old foundation. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to state the rea •sons why he objected to the amendment proposed, but :the Noble Lord spoke in so low a tone of voice that he could not be heard in the gallery. The cleuee was then agreed to. The other clauses were then agreed to. The following Bills were then read a third time:— 'Great Southern and Western Railway Extension (Por tarlington to Tullarnore). Dublin and Drogheda Railway (Branch from Navan to Dells). Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct, and Glasgow Southern Terminal Railway Amalgamation. !Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct Railway.

BELFAST IMPROVEMENT BILL. On its being moved that this Bill be read a third time, Mr. ROSS rose to oppose the motion. He believed that a large body of the most respectable parties in Belfast, merchants, bankers, magistrates, and inhabi tants, were all opposed to the Bill. If he was asked why so few petitions had been presented against the mea sure, he would answer that it was at first determined not to bring the measure forward, and that was the reason by the inhabitants had not assembled in public meeting to petition against it. But then it might be asked how it happened that his (Mr. Ross's) name was at the back of the Bill? It was true that such was the case, but he had protested against it. Not a single person, he be lieved, professing Liberal principles in the town of Bel fast was in favour of the measure. He therefore moved that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. After a few words from Lord A. CHICHESTER, ---- - -- -..-- -- --- _ _ Mr. DIVETT, as Chairman of the Committee, stated that the Committee had struck out several portions of the Bill, and had only retained those portions which related strictly to the improvement of the town. It had struck the Committee that the law charges in the case were most enormous, and he should certainly feel it his duty to recommend to the House the propriety of not passing in future any Bill of this nature, the promoters of which could not give a fair and proper account of the expen diture of money authorised to be raised by them under former Acts. Mr. S. CRAWFORD supported the amendment of the Hon. Member, and it was his intention to Tote with him, should the House go to a division. Mr. F. FRENCH thought that it was the duty of the House to support the decision of the Committee. Mr. M. O'CONNELL supported the amendment. He thought, as the Committee had thrown out nine-tenths of the Bill, the House would act wisely in throwing out the remaining fraction of it. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House divided, when their appeared— For the third reading 62 Against it l2 Majority The Bill was then read a third time and passed. SMITHFIELD MARKET. Sir H. DOUGLAS presented a petition praying for the removal of Smithfield Market.—Ordered to lie upon the table. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY Fi'yENING, JUNE 23, 1847.

Rapeseed Oil on further reduced terms, still there are few buyers to be met with. Linseed Oil has been purchased with increased freedom on the spot for home consumption, whilst export orders to a fair extent have been executed, and the supply is small. There is still little disposition evinced to operate in Olive Oil for home consumption or exportation. In the value of Palm no further improvement has taken place, but a good business has been transacted, chiefly by the home trade. Cocoa Nut is wanted, and stiffer rates are offered, but the supply is yet small. TALLOW.—There has been less demand for Russian on the spot, but at present there is little variation to record in the value, there is, however, more desire shown to sell fine Petersburg yellow Candle at 50s 6d to 51s per cwt. For forward delivery prices are rather lower, and only a small amount of business has been transacted at 47s 3d to 47s 6d for the last three months of the year. Other sorts of tallow have slightly fallen in value, but the parcels offered at auction were all disposed of. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BUCKINGHAM-PALACE, JUNE 17, 1847.

NAVIGATION LAWS. Mr. LIDDELL presented a petition from the butChers and bakers of South Shields, against the Navigation Laws. AGRICULTURE. Mr. PITSEY presented a petition, signed by several hundreds of farmers, praying that measures may be taken for the improvement of agriculture. CANADA. _ _ _ Sir H. DOUGLAS, seeing the Secretary for the Colo nies in his place, wished to ask whether it was so that the Governor-General of Canada had issued proclama tions, giving the United States vessels privilege to enter the port of Montreal, and to use the free navigation of the river St. Lawrence; and, if it was so, whether it did not produce such an alteration in the navigation-laws as to prevent provisions being conveyed into the British dominions by the vessels of the United States, for which there was a special proviso in the existing laws? Mr. HAW ES said that the Government had not yet received any information on the subject. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. VERNON SMITH wished to ask his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hawes) whether any arrangement had been entered into respecting New Zealand. Mr. HAWES said that there had been an arrange ment entered into which he hoped to be able to lay before the House in a few days. Most satisfactory accounts had been received from Captain Grey, which also would be laid before the House in a few days. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Messengers from the Lords brought up some Bills. ANDOVER UNION. On the motion that the orders of the day be now read, Mr. VILLIERS said that in requesting the indulgence of the House for a moment he was desirous to explain that if he had had the most distant notion that there was an order of the day which would enable Hon. Members to enter upon a discussion on the Andover Union Committee he should assuredly have been in his place, and he could assure the House that he would not refer to that discusion if it related only to himself, as he would have been then perfectly willing to let the matter remain where it was ; but there was another person involved in the question ; and, therefore, although he was aware that he was rather out of order, he threw himself on the indulgence frf the House, assuming that where there was a question involving the character of an Honourable Member, the House would allow that Member to make his explanation. He said that there was another person involved in this question—he meant Sir Frankland Lewis. When he (Mr. Villiers) brought this matter forward, he did so simply because a letter had been put into ,his hand stating that that gentleman's belief was totally at variance with that of the Honourable Member for Wey mouth. That gentleman had heard with astonish ment that the question which he believed had been put to him bad been denied, but nothing that had been said had altered his belief upon the matter, and he (Mr. Villiers) fully agreed with him in that opinion.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Weymouth had asserted upon his honour as a gentleman that he had not done so. He (Mr. Villiers) was aware that an [ion. Member's asseveration should not be doubted, but notwithstanding this he should make bold to refer to what was really the property of the House, namely, the report of the Committee. He proved then, that the question No. 22,622, put by the Hon. Me mber was this, whether there was not an arrangement that on Sir F. Lewis's retirement his son should succeed him. Now, that was a question which affected the arrange ment between Sir Frankland Lewis and his son. Sir Frankland Lewis professed to explain the arrangement; hut the (Mr. Villiers) was not satisfied. But the difficulty was not whether the question was put, but whether it was a proper question, and not whether he agreed with Mr. Chadwick, but whether be had made any agreement with that gentlemen on his accession to office. He had accordingly referred, on the suggestion of the Honourable Member for Finsbury, to see whether this question had been put or not, and whether it had been answered. On refer ring to the journals he found this question, " When your son succeeded you did you guard him against Mr. Chadwick?" He (Mr. Villiers) would say, then, that this question had been put, and that if he had been misled he had been misled by the report of t r h t, e po r r e t p h o e rt fo o u f n t i g t t u e e e s , ti a o n n d h r b e e f e e n r r p in u g t. t a o nd th o at n the C omm itt ee , no t b y t h e short-hand notes, but by ad d he tha C t o t m h m is the representation of a Member of this House he found chat in the journals it was stated also not only that it was answered, but answered in detail. Whether it was a private question, and one therefore fit to be put to the Committee was the matter for another statement. The question was thought to be an improper one, and the room was cleared. The Hon. Gentleman got his friends to come down to the House to justify him. Lord INGESTRE—I rise to order, Sir. The Hon. Member ought to confine himself to a justification of himself, and not stack Hon. Gentlemen. Mr. VILLIERS—I am not out of order. I did not refer to any one. The SPEAKER—The Hon. Gentleman ought to con tine himself to his own justification. Mr. VILLIERS then proceeded—He was not on the Committee, but all the witnesses had complained of the conduct and tone of the Hon. Member for Weymouth. Sir Frankland Lewis had complained often of his conduct, mad he complained to the chairman of the Committee, Mr. Eastlake, also—(Order.) The SPEAKER decided the Hon. Gentleman was out order. Mr. CHRISTIE—Sir, I am quite satisfied with the manner with which the House received my distinct , lenial of the charge last night (Hear hear) and I consider it would be beneath me to again deny it after the solemn pledge which I have already given of its injustice.—(Hear.) After the honourable testimony borne to my conduct by many lion. Members, and amongst others my Hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury, who saw and heard me daily, I do not think it would be agreeable to the House to again enter upon the discussion.— (Hear.) LEGACY DUTY. Dr. BOWRING said, as he did not think he could succeed in obtaining a Select Committee to inquire whether sundry amounts have not been and are illegally detained by the Treasury for legacy duty on the pro perty of testators not domiciled in the United Kingdom, he would withdraw his motion. COPPER DUTIES. Mr. ASHLEY presented a petition signed by 11,000 working men of the county of Cornwall, in relation to the copper duties, and moved that it be printed with the votes. Mr. MUNTZ then rose to movo " That the House resolve itself into a Committee of Customs, to consider • he duties upon the importation of copper (Act 5 and 6 Vic., c. 47), with a view to their reduction or abolition." He said that previous to 1829 a large quantity of copper ore was usually smelted in South America. The quantity, however, was reduced by a wise alteration of the law in relation to the importation of that article. But another alteration was ' , 1 , 1 ,.ade in the law in 1842 prejudicial to the importation „f ore into this country, so that in inatiufactucgs,thisandinlB43 the ,10,,001tY tons, imported was 19,829 tons, in 1845 00 b e t i o n n , s. sup T e h r The manufacture actually 13 , eded, and this was the country case in the town which he re presented ; therefore it 1) fir the consideration of this a very serious matter s fact that France had imported this Ho use . N ow it was i rted 1,600 tons of copper into South America and smug" n ' 11 . , ( La e going on to a great ex tent into Adelaide. The lion. from Valparaiso, which stated member then read a letter t er a great improve ment wa s going on with respect t o The Hon. Member c oncluded by moving tha t the arti c l e . resolve itself int o Committee, to consider tthee House duties upon the importation of copper, with a view to their re duction or abolition. Mr. ENVART most heartily seconded the !notion; for this was a matter of too much importance to the mercantile marine to be neglected, and he, therefore, concurred in the views of the Hon. Member for Bir mingham. Sir CHARLES LEMON thought that this inquiry was one which was quite uneccessary, for it had, by no means been satisfactorily proved that the new plan was better than the old one, for the only proof they had of it was the existence of a report to the judicial Committee and the unsupported assertions of those who were in terested in the promotion of the use of the invention. He would quote another simple instance to show that duty upon copper ore was a new tax. The Hon. Gentle man then read several lengthened extracts from the blue book, which he said were of a nature to mislead the public. It had been said, and it was true, that there had been a rise in the price of copper during the last year. But why ? Because there had been a consider able falling off in the production of the foreign mines, and or the mines at home ; also what was said of the discovery of coal in America, was an old subject. It was well known that there were coals in America, as great in extent as the fields in England, Scotland, and Ireland. But he would not occupy the time of the House un necessarily. All he would ask of the House was, that before any change was introduced, some inquiry should be made, and some reason shown that injury would not succeed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he rose then in order that the debate might not be prolonged. He had stated at an early part of the session, that he could not hold out any prospect of a reduction in the custom's duties this year, and the charges which had fallen upon the country since then gave him no en couragement to diverge from that statement. Having said so much at that early period, lie could not be sup posed to oppose the Hon. Gentleman's motion now, ex cept on a ground which he had laid down previously. On that ground and that alone, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the question, he would oppose the motion. Lord W. POWLETT thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer had adopted a course which the affairs of the country rendered necessary. Mr. CAREW said that after what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman, he did not think it would be right to take a course opposite to what the Right Hon. Gentleman had suggested. In confirmation of what had been stated with respect to the importations to the United States, he begged to say that the quantity of copper exported from this country into the United States had become doubled within the last year. After a few words from Mr. BROWN, Lord SANDON said that having, on a different occa sion, taken a part in this question, he did not wish the present occasion to pass without saying a word. He did not agree with what had been said about the application of free-trade principles to this question. He trusted that xo change would take place until the matter had been more fully considered. Mr. RASHLEIGH opposed the motion, which he considered prejudicial to the labourers in mines. Mr. SPOONER said that if they refused to smelt Chili copper here, it would be smelted elsewhere, already a large manufactory was at the present moment being established at the mouth of the Elbe—if the duty on copper was not taken off, they would drive out of the country a great manufacturing interest. The present duty yielded only 50,0001. a year, and such was too miserable for a Government to care about, especially when such a tax was opposed to the best interests of the empire. Lord G. BENTINCK said that he regretted he had to oppose the Members for Birmingham, who had been formerly in alliance with him, he would be very glad that the Government would make some declaration as to what they would do in the next session of Parliament— it would be very agreeable to the Cornwall miners on the one hand and the manufacturing interest of Birming ham on the other. Mr. TURNER said that it was their duty to protect the interests of the great working body of the whole country. He was in favour of the motion, but he con sidered it would be better to adjourn the question to a future session. After a few words from Sir CHARLES LEMON i❑ explanation, Mr. MUNTZ said if Hon. Members knew as much of trade as he did they would not be so hasty in coming to a conclusion against the motion. He said he would press the motion to a division. Mr. NEWDEG ATE regretted that he could not give his support to the motion. Sir G. CLERK would oppose the motion on the ground stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he could not afford to lose so much revenue. He hoped, however, that the present Government would watch the experiment which bad been already made, and shape their coure accordingly. Mr. G. PALMER opposed the motion, on the ground that it would be unfair to deprive the. Cornwall miners of that protection which they had hitherto enjoyed. . Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority The motion was consequently lost. WASTE LANDS OF IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPE then brought forward the resolution of which he had given notice, that the waste lands of Ireland offer an available resource for the immediate employment and future maintenance of a part of her population, now apparently redundant; and that it is expedient to apply them to this great national object, making equitable compensation to their present proprietors. About 12 years ago he brought forward a similar mea sure, and he regretted that he was not able to have that attention drawn to it which its merits deserved. lie was extremely sorry that the Government had aban doned the measure which they had in contemplation with regard to this subject, and he hoped it would not be deemed presumption in him to bring it forward at this late period of the session. The Hon. Gentle nan was proceeding to state the grounds on which he,thought the motion necessary, when An HoN. MEMERR moved that the House be counted. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and there not being 40 Members present, the House stood adjourned till to-morrow. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.) GROUP A.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 21. HILTON V. LORD GRANVILLE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court on be half of the Crown, and witnesses having been called in support of his case, The Court adjourned until to-morrow. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 22. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) HOBSON V. FEARGUS O'CONNOR. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for literary assistance rendered by the plaintiff in the character of editor to the Northern Star. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, and that the plaintiff had neglected his duties. Sir F. Thesiger (with Mr. Hoggins) conducted the case for the plaintiff; and Mr. W. H. Watson and Mr. Prentice appeared for the defendant. The defendant is well known as being the proprietor of a weekly paper called the Northern .star. That paper was, until the latter part of the year 1844, published in Leeds. The plaintiff formerly was *a bookseller and printer in Leeds, but eventually became the editor of tkis newspaper. Towards the latter end of 1844 the de fendant, conceiving either that it would be more conve nient or more advantageous for the publication to take place in London, thereupon made arrangements, which were afterwards carried out, for the removal of the pub lication of the paper to London. One of those arrange ments of course had reference to the plaintiff as the editor; and, 'from the evidence, it appeared that the defen dant, prior to the removal of the concern, stated, not only to the plaintiff himself, but to others, that his salary would be raised to 3121. per annum, or 6/. per week, as a com pensation for the loss and inconvenience he might suffer in consequence of the abandonment of his private business, and the breaking up of his establishment at Leeds. The plaintiff, too, was a member of the town-council of Leeds, anctl i ke.,,defenclato said he should be at...liberty to go down to ktteAdJhe meetings of that body. This pri vilke the plkintiff 'tie t tordingly repeatedly availed him .self • of, , but on each occasion ( he forwterded leadi ng articles 4441,4lielopics of the day for insertion, and it was idmitted by the witnesses that in no instance had the, publication of the paper been delay eil 'b y his ab sence. 4 In the month of September, 1845, the defendant took a stoltr, thrOugh Belgium, with a vielf, as it 'was stated,..of Making inquiries, not merely into the state ppf the;potato disease in tbat country, but :lisp - into the . , general position of agricultural Matters. He started On the 23d of September, and on the 28th of the same month the plaintiff quitted town for five weeks, during which time he was attending to an almanac which he had in preparation. He did not return to town until two or three days after the defendant, and the conse quence was that in a few days the defendant dismissed him for neglect of duty. The action was therefore brought for the remainder of the twelve months' salary, upon the ground that no notice had been given, and therefore that, as it was a yearly hiring, the plaintiff was entitled to payment for so much of the year as was not expired at the period of his dismissal without notice. A number of gentlemen connected - with the press were examined, to show that in every case, except where the engagement was. a " sessional" engagement, when it Would terminate with the session, or where there was not a tpecial arrangement to the contrary, the custom was a yearly hiring, with three or six months' , notice, to expire at the end of the twelve months. 'rho jury eventually found a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages for 781., or three months' notice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. Mary Ann Taylor, late housekeeper in the service of Mr. Greville, of Hobart-place, Eaton square, was charged with breaking into that gentlerhan's • house, and stealing, amongst other articles, a brass bottle.jack and pair of candlesticks. Another charge was preferred against the prisoner—that of stealing a large quantity of sheets, tablecloths, toiletcloths, curtains, and pillow cases, the property of Mr. Wright, proprietor of the Clarepdon Hotel in Bond-street. Mr. Games attended for the prosecution; a solicitor also appeared in the behalf of the prisoner. In the early part of last month the prisoner arrived from the country at the London-bridge Tavern with several boxes and hampers. Some days afterwards she was joined by a man, who represented himself as her husband, and who stated that he came from Folkestone in order to receive a sum of money which was due to him. A few days afterwards a box con taining mathematical instruments and clothes was stolen from the room adjacent to that in which the prisoner and her husband slept, and a policeman being called in, the box was found in the room which they occupied. Both the prisoner and her husband were taken into custody' on that occasion, but the evidence against the latter being considered slight he was dis charged. Since then, however, other charges of a more serious nature were preferred against the prisoner, who it appeared had formerly lived as housekeeper in Mr. Greville's family, Hobart-place, Eaton-square, from which situation she was discharged in November last. On the night of the 27th of April Mr. Greville's house was broken into and plundered, of, amongst other things, a bottle-jack and pair of candlesticks; and upon an exa mination of the premises it was discovered that an entry had been effected at the rear through the scullery win dow. To connect the prisoner with this offence evi dence was brought forward to show that on the night the house was entered as described, ahe was seen lurking about Mr. Greville's house from a quarter after nine o'clock until half-past one o'clock the next morning, the last-mentioned hour being about the time the entry was supposed to have been effected. When the prisoner's boxes were examined at the London-bridge Tavern a brass bottle jack, and a pair of candlesticks, identified as having formed part of the property taken from Mr. Greville's house when it was broken into, were found. With respect to the other charge against the prisoner, that of plundering the Clarendon Hotel of an immense quantity of linen and tablecloths, &c., the discovery arose in consequence of its having been ascertained that on her arrival, on a late occasion in town, she for warded several boxes, containing property, by railway, addressed to Mrs. Wallace, to be left at the terminus until called for. Upon this discovery a policeman pro ceeded to Folkestone, and by direction obtained posses sion of the boxes and their contents, consisting of table napkins, curtains, towels, and various other articles of that description, which were produced in court on the present occasion. Miss Coventry, in reference to this latter charge, stated that the prisoner had been laundrymaid at the Clarendon, which situation she filled for upwards of five years ; that 'she was discharged from it about twelve months ago, and although much property of the above description wa s missed, y et she was not sus pected as the thief. The witn ess h ere examined the various articles found in the prisoner's boxes as a l rea d y described, and identified the whole as f orming a portion of that which was plundered from the Clarendon while she was living there. Mr. SEczEn said that he should commit the prisoner on both charges ; and, by the advice of her solicitor, she said that she should reserve her defence for another opportunity. WESTMINSTER. williant J ac k son , a boy about 16 years of age, and store de lfehre, formerlivinginohEaargtoond-lwanffeh, were employerinciting toa very c ons id era b le extent, with him to the comm i ss i on of John . Druce, a fi m n a a r l i l n y e e xamined, atphil'uednotdffheverniliclag hisr e tte and feloniously receiving a portion of the property. Mr. Deeconberry, of 3, Victoria-place, ironmonger, stated that the prisoner Jackson had been in his service for a great length of time as errand boy. In consequence missed f rom hi s stock 70 or 80 dozen knives and fork s , some sets of fire-irons, and 000tfrhetarbale having recently articles of cutlery, prosecutor gave information to the police, and determined to keep a sharp look out, in order, if possible, to detect the offender. On the 6th inst. the prisoner Jackson had two pair of candle sticks given him to clean, and on the following morn ing one pair being missing the prosecutor taxed the prisoner with having stolen them, and said he should send for Mr. Taylor, an inspector of the B division, to whom he had mentioned his formeV losses. Jackson then said he was exceedingly sorry, and hoped that prosecutor would forgive him, adding that he should never have done it if he had not been induced by Mr. Druce, of Eaton-lane. Jackson further said, that he went to Druce's for a bottle of ginger beer, and asked for credit, when Druce told him that if he had any 01a brass or anything he would buy it. He sold Draw the candlesticks and a beer-tap with them. In consequence of this statement, Druce was immediately taken into cus tody, and part of a copper bolt positively identified by the prosecutor's foreman, which bad been recently stolen, found in his possession, but none of the other missing property. On being asked whether they wished to say anithing to the charge, Jackson repeated that he sold the candle: sticks and beer-tap to Druce, and the latter declared atm that statement was untrue. t both Mr. BRODERIP felt it to be his duty to comm i t prisoners for trial at the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Wolfe solicited the magistrate to take bail for Druce, which was however refused. DOCKS. Dividend Amount per of t Paid. Annum. Share. I £ s. d.
