Hamilton THE WEST-END BETTING-HOUSES, At the Marlborough•street Police-court, this day, Robert East, landlord of the Rising Sun, public-house, No. 12, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged with keeping a common betting-house at the above house, and Richard Higgs, 18, Panton-street ; John Knight, 37, Conduit-street; John Thomas Parkhouse, 3, Great Windmill-street ; Thomas Richard Parkhouse, same address; Benjamin Higgs ; Edward Stanley Alton, Hants, farmer ; George Burgess, 12, Charles street, Grosvenor-square ; William Lambert, 26, Ches ter-street, Pimlico, servant ; Samuel Knightsbridge, 46, Grosvenor-square, servant ; George Boxendale, 1, Buckingham-row, Pimlico ; Pbilip Deedy, 7, Cumberland-street, licensed victualler ; William King, 9, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square ; Ed ward Goddard and Henry Wayne, Mulgrave-house, Fulham, servants ; Thomas Gray, 23, Woodstock-street; John Goddard, Eaton-mows, groom ; Wm. Humphrey and Francis More, 18, Chester-street, Pimlico, servants; and Samuel Redimore, gentleman, Queen's-head Tavern, Knightsbridge, were charged with being found therein for the purpose of betting. Superintendent Hannant, C division, having produced the Commissioners' warrant, authorising him to enter the above house, stated that about a quarter-past 9 last night he went there, accompanied by Inspector Webbe, and some constables. He went into the parlour, where he found East sitting at a table with a list before him relating to several races. This list he now pro duced. Under that list he found a second list, which ho also produced, with the names of the horses and persons, with the various odds written upon them. He told the defendant who be was and the nature of his business there, but be made no reply. The other defendant, Richard Higgs, was sitting by his side entering something in a book. The other de fendants were in the parlour. On searching the place a great quantity of cards referring to various races to come off were found, as well as books containing entries of numerous bets made thereon. The whole of the de fendants were removed to the station-house. On East was found about 601. in gold and silver. Inspector Webb corroborated the above statement. Police Constable Draper 326 A, proved visiting the Rising Sun, kept by the defendant East, on the 13th instant, and seeing several people in front of, the bar, East came down stairs, and a man asked him what was the odds on Arsenal, East said he would give 6 to 1, and they both walked into the parlour. Witness further proved that on the occasion of a second visit, he saw bets made with the defendant East. This completed the case against the defendant. Mr, Herring having addressed the court on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Beadon discharged the whole of the defendants with the exception of East, who was fined 301. or two months. The fine was paid. _HEALTH OF LOIVDON DFRING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The total numbs); of deaths registered in London in the week that ended on Saturday was 1,050, of which 514 were deaths of males, 536 those of females. In the 10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,046 ; but, as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased popula tion, it is necessary for comparison that the average should be raised in proportion to the increase, in which case it will become 1,151. It appears that the number of persons who died last week was less by 100 than would have died if the 'average rate of mortality had ruled, a result which must be accepted as proof of a favourable condition of the public health. The deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organs in the present returns are 202 ; the corrected average for corresponding weeks is 184. Bronchitis was fatal in 102 cases, being about half of the whole number under the general head of pulrnonqry diseases to which it belongs. This complaint exhibit; a greater fatality than is usual in the second week in May, in consequence of the unseasonable coldness that pre vailed in previous weeks ; for according to the ordinary =delay the number last week should not have ex ceeded 76. The deaths from pneumonia (inflam mation of the lungs) are 75, and ex tctly agree with the average. I:Cooping-cough, which carried off 51 children, is now rather less fatal than it was in the earlier months of the year ; scarlatina de. lined to 14, and no death from this complaint was returned from the districts on the south side of the river. Two cases of smallpox were re gistered ; 39 of typhus and common fever, the average being 55. Of the six principal diseases of the zymotic character, no fatal cases were returned in Wandsworth, Rotherhithe, or Camberwell, except one in the l►st-men tioned district ; only two in Whitechapel, and two in Lewisham. Two deaths are referred to carbuncle. Three persons died of intemperance. In the present returns are the deaths of six nonagena• rians—a man 90 years of age, a widow 92 years, a man 93 years, a man and a woman 94 years, and a woman who died in the Merchant Tailors' Almshouses at Lee at the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 873 boys and 800 girls, in all 1,682 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the year 1347-56 the average number was 1,523. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the -mean height of the barometer for the week was '29 808 in. The highest reading was 30'01 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the week was 57.6 deg., which is 5 9 deg. higher than the average of the same week in 43 years. It N as also higher than the mean of the previous week by 13 deg. The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day after Sunday, and on Friday and Saturday the excess was 10 and 12 degrees. The lowest temperature was 39.1 deg., and occurred on Sunday, the 10th ; the highest was 80 . 2 deg., and oc curred on Saturday. The range of the week was there fore 41.1 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was 49 9 deg., and the' difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 7.7 deg. On Monday the wind changed in the afternoon to south ; during the rest of the week it was first in the south-west, then in the east, and on Saturday changed to west. The fall of rain was only 0 . 08 in. here was a good deal of lightning on, several nights. Saturday was a very warm day.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. ST. JAMES'S-PARK. Sir F. BARING moved for a return of any sums expended for the alterations in the lake in St. James's park, together with an estimate of expenditure required to complete them, and the vote of Parliament under authority of which any expenditure has been incurred. And, copy of any correspondence between the Board of Works and the Treasury respecting such expenditure, and of any order or authority under which payments have been made by the Postmaster-General for such work, and the dates of such payment.—Ordered. ELECTION PETITIONS. Petitions complaining of the returns for Leitrim county, Beverley, and Taunton, were presented, and ordered to be referred to the General Committee on Elections. REGISTRATION OF LEASES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. DUNLOP moved the second reading of this bill. 10 object was to improve the law with respect to leases in Scotland. The LORD-ADVOCATE said be would not oppose the motion, but in committee he should propose some amendments. The bill was read a second time. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL. Mr. ADDEULEY moved that the house go int() committee on this bill He thought that the alterations proposed by the noble lord the member for the West Riding could ba fully discussed, and his motion was agreed to. — Sir G. GREY said he had hoped that the hon. gee tleman who had merely proposed to go into committee pro forma, in order that certain amendments might be made. He did not think the house was prepared to-day to go on with the , bill, as several honour able gentlemen deeply interested in it were absent. The honourable gentleman opposite said the amendments of the noble lord the member for the West Riding might be made by clauses in com mittee, but no notice of such clauses had been given. He should be sorry to vote against the bill, but if the hon. gentleman pressed his motion to a division, he should feel it his duty to vote against going into com mittee. Mr. GREGORY hoped a clause would be introduced ' in this measure to lull the feelings that existed in cer tain places—viz., that the religious opiuions of the child might be tampered with by the provisions of this Lill. Lord GODERICH moved that the house go into committee this day three weeks, in order that the rate payers might have further time to consider its provisions. Mr. ADDERLEY said he thought the proposition to postpone the consideration of the bill was unreasonable. If the house went into committee, they could discuss the main provisions of tho bill, and then reconsider it, in order that the amendments might be presented. Mr. BAINES said, be trusted that the consideration of the bill would be postponed ; he was still in favour of the principle of the bill. and such being the case, he wished a good measure to be paned, instead of a crude and ill-judged one. The great point to be settled, and for which time was required, was whether the rate pro posed by this bill should be a general or local one. Mr. ROEBUCK said it was the duty of the Govern ment to have brought forward a bill of this description, and not to have cast the responSibility of doing so on a private member. The proposition to go into committee pro forma was an attempt to get rid of the bill by a side w ind. • After a few words from Mr. KENDALL and Mr. PALK, Mr. R. PALMER urged his hoe, friend to agree to the proposition to go into committee pro forma, and that this day four weeks should be the time fixed for its re-committal. Mr. A DDERLEY assented to the proposition. The house then went into 'committee pro forma, certain amendments were inserted, and the bill was reported with amendments and ordered to be printed. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION BILL. The house then went into committee. Mr. BLAND said as a number of Irish members were absent from the house, he should move that the chair man report progress, and ask leave to sit again. The committee then divided, when there appeared For the motion Against it Majority --147 _ _ Mr. SPOONER objected to the first clause of the bill. The measure as it at present stood, he thought, wonld give facility to fraud. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND, said the fears of the hon. gentleman were groundless. Col. FRENCH moved that the chairman report progress. Ile complained of the forcing on of this bill in the absence of upwards of 100 Irish members, who were attending an appointment with Lord Palmerston. The committee again divided, and there appeared For the motion Against it Majority ----140 On the question that clause 1 stand part of the bill, Mr. BLAND moved the omission of it with the 12 following ones. His object was to give the attested copy of any judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, or Exchequer at Westminster and Dublin, or the decreet of the Court of Session of &lot land, the same-force and effect as a warrant of attorney to confess judgment. After a few words from Mr. AYRTON, The committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it ... 43 Majority -94 The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. On clause 2, being read, Mr. AYRTON moved the omission of the clause, for the purpose of introducing a clause regulating procedure in the precise case which was found in the Act for Winding•up Joint-Stock Companies. The LORD ADVOCATE said the form of the clause was certainly different from the one cited by the hoe. gentleman, but its effect was precisely the same. Mr. AYRTON withdrew his amendment. Mr. NAPIER moved that the Chairman report pro gress. Mr. ROEBUCK said this was a very important bill, as it proposed to alter the law most materially. Such being the case the present measure ought to have beenintro duced by the Attorney-General for England, and the names of the Attorney-General for Ireland and the Lord Advocate ought to have ap peared on the back of it, and not those of private members. Such a circumstance would have given autho rity to a bill, and he deprecated the practice of Govern. ment leaving to private members the introduction of measures which they ought to bring forward. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended the bill, as it was brought forward to remedy an evil which was antiquated and expensive. After a short discussion, the committee divided. For the motion ........................... 89 Against it ..................... . 187 Majority ................................... _9B On the motion that Clause 2, as amended, stand part of the bill, Mr. AYRTON suggested that the bill should be re ferred to a select committee composed of lawyers, with a view of fully considering the whole question. After a few words from Mr. BLAND, The committee again divided on the question that the clause as amended stand part of the bill. For the motion Against it Majority --77 The clause was then agreed to. Clause 3 was then proposed. Mr. M'CANN said it was five years since the hon. member for Ayrshire first brought forward a bill similar to the one the house had now under its considera tion, Ever since that time the measure had improved by time, and by next year he thought they would be is a position to legislate on the subject. The pre sent bill was certainly not required by the mercantile community, as there had not been a single petition presented by that bo,ly in its favour, The clause, after a short discussion, was omitted. On clause 4 bean' proposed, Mr. DEASY moved an amendment to the effect that from and after the registering of any copy, or extra.it of any such judgment or decreet as provided by the clau.?e, it should not have effect unless leave to issue had been granted by the juige before whom it was ori ginally recovered. Mr. CRAUI?[JIID opposed the amendment. The committee divided when there appeared— For the amendment 96 Against it Majority against it 67 On the motion that clause 4 stand part of the bill, Mr. AYE.TON said, by clause 4 great difficulty and expense would be caused, and therefore he begged to ask the Attorney-General for Ireland whether he thought it beneficial to set up two new registers in the Court of Common Pleas—one for Ireland, and the other for Scotland. He thought, without much difficulty, one registrar could perform the duty. No answer was given to the question of the hon. and learned member, end the clause *as then ordered to stand part of the bill. On clause 5 being prop3sed, Mr. ROEBUCK said the hou3e had omitted clause 3. He thought this one must necessarily also be ex p❑nged. - A verbal amendment was made, and the clause was agreed t 3. After a long discussion, clause 6 was agreed to. Clause 7 was under discussion at a quarter to tfx, at which hour the chairman rep: rted progress, and oLtainel leave to sit again. The other orders were then read and postponed. BURIAL ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time. THE ELECTIVE F RANCHISF; Mr. T. DUNCOMBE obtained leave to bring in a bill to facilitate and afford more frequent opportunities f r the registration of the elective franchise in Englund ald Wales. THE SLAVE TRADE. Sir G. D. PEUHELL moved fora return of her Ma jesty's ships and vessels employed on the coast of Cuba for the suppression of the slave trade, from Ist Jan., 1854, stating the dates of their arrival on, and their departure from, their respective cruising stat►ons, with the names of their several captains and commanders, and distic gushing steam fr• m sailing vessels.—Ordered. ELEC NOR" PETITIONS. Petitions complaining of the returns f , a- Lambeth, Finsbury, Bodrnin, Dover, Weymouth, Galway, Bath, and Cashel were lodge I, and ordrr3d to be referred to the General Committee on Elections. The house then adjourned. LLOYD'S SEEIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, May 20. —Wind this day at noon, W.S.W.; light breeze, and fine.

The show of English wheat here, to-day, was chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples. For most kinds, wo had a slow inquiry; nevertheless, prices were well sup ported. The general condition of the supply was by no means prime. Foreign wheat—the show of which was moderately good—moved off slowly, on former terms. In floating cargoes of grain, very little wag doing. We had a fair demand for all kinds of barley, and Mon day's currency was well supported. The malt trade was very dull, at barely stationary prices. Oats, beans, and pass were in moderate supply, and steady request, at extreme rates; but flour was very dull, at last week's quotations. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

Our market is steady, and, prices are well supported. The Vereins Bank of Hamburg have notified an in tended modification of their statutes to limit the amount of capital that cau be called up to 30 per cent. THE MOORS.--AYRSHIRE.--S0 far as Ayrshire and Galloway are concerned, we can state, on the infor mation of those in charge of the very best grounds, that a great season is not only expected, but, from the short stock of parent birds; impossible ; and in northern counties the reduction in the stock last year was shown more conspicuously on tracts long famous for grouse. Oar information is to the effect that the birds were very strorg in the early spring, and have continued without any appearance of disease, and that so far as the hatching has proceeded there is every prospect of good coveys ; but much yet depends on the. weather, both for grouse and black game. Of grouse the number of parent birds is very limited.—Ayr Adver• fist New graving docks on the Thames are in course of construction in connexion with the Victoria Docks, and upon an entirely original principle. By an hydraulic lift and a contrivance for subsequently floating each vessel into shallow water, where all the necessary examinations and repairs can be conducted from workshops alongside, the enormous cost of the deep excavations required under the present system i s t o b e avoided, an extent of space being at once r en d ere d ava i lable which at a com paratively shght outlay would enable any number of ships to be accommodated,. A belief is stated that " by this process our largest vessels—such as the Himalaya— tray be completely docked in two hours, while from eight to ten ordi nar y vesse l s may w i th facility be raised, examined, and launched again, per day." The patentee is Mr. Edwin Clarke, abd the capital for the works now in course of formation-70,0001.—has been chiefly sub scribed among the principal London engineers and their friends, Messrs. Stephenson, Locke, Hawkshaw, Fow ler, Hawksley, Berkley. and Bidder having expressed full confidence in the sndertakiag. POSTPONEMENT OF THE HOP .017 TY.—We have much pleasure in finding that the appeal made by the hop planters to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Satur day so'nnight, has not been entirely without effect, a notice having been issued on Wednesday last, to the officers in the various " Collections," as under—" In land Revenue Office, 13th May, 1857. Sir,—The Board desire that the payment of the first moiety of the hop duty for 1856, be deferred until the 15th July next. I am, Sir, your obedient servont, THOS. DODSON. The Collector, &c." The concession thus made is unfortu nately somewhat limited in its practical utility by two causes ; fist, owing to the brief period of postponement; and, secondly, because of the lateness of the announce ment, coming as it does at a date when by far the great est portion of the planters had submitted to saerifices in order to provide for the collection. This, however, is no fault of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, who, it mast be admitted, has responded with great promptitude to the appeal made to him, and with au evident desire to spare the planters from further immediate pressure. By many of the smaller platters the postponement, even for two months, will be hailed as a boon, however the delay for so short a time may be comparatively of little import ance to others possessed of larger resources.—Sussex Advertiser, of, ch, Lod bid cid ' If Live ver, colo hind but I not light lual, from Trc, -' fol Hen- Lbout d by neral held Hol• BC t--*
