L-rd STANLEY would not have opposed the Bill if it had been introduced as a temporary measure, but as it was introduced as a permanent measure he should move that it be referred to a Select Committee. Earl GREY thought that his Noble Friend must have a very bad case indeed as he had thvoughout his speech alluded to everthing but the question before the House. The House was subsequently addressed by Lord ASRBURTON, Lord MowtrEAcLE, the Duke of RICH MOND, the Marquis of SALISBURY, Lord REDESDALE, the Marquis of WEaTitEATu, when their Lordships' divided on the original motion, and there appeared— Contents ... ... 35 Non-contents ... 27 Majority ... —8 The Bill then went through Committee without amendment. The Distilling from Sugar Bill also passed through Committee without amendment. Their Lordships' then adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. The London (City) Small Debts Bill was read a second time. ! Mr. B. ESCOTT gave notice for Mr. ROEBUCX that when the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill should be brought under the consideration of the House, he should move that any plan having for its object the advancement of loans to tha Irish lanied proprietors would be unjust, unless the same principle of taxation which was applied to the landed proprietors of Great Britain was extended to them. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that he would, on an early day, bring in a Bill to alter the Constitution of the Ecclesiastical Commission. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the Government would shortly introduce two Bills to amend the Irish Corpora tion Act. In answer to Mr. FORSTER, it was stated by Mr. LABOUCHERE, that the Government did not intend to import any more flax seed into Ireland. On the motion for going into Committee on the Labouriug Poor Ireland Bill, the House was ad- dressed by Mr. Baillic, Mr. Dillon Browne, Sir B. Hall, Colonel Verner, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. J. O'Connell, Mr. 11. Grattan, Mr. Roebuck, Lord J. Manners, Mr, S. O'Brien, Mr. Sbaw, and several other Hon. Members, when the House went intu Committee, the whole o 1 the clauses of the Bill were agreed to, and it was or. dered to be reported on Monday. The Ten Hours' Bill was read a second time. Lord J. RUSSELL brought in the Poor-law Suspension Bill, which was read a first time. The other orders of the day were then disposed o and the House adjourned at One o'clock. Portugal being the theatre of civil war, a powerful squadron of British vessels is dispatched to Lisbon and Oporto, and, at the same time, the Government of this country intimates that England regards the zevo • lutionary contest now raging in the Peninsula with the strictest neutrality. The apparent contradiction of the movement and the declaration is so remarkable, that a question naturally arises as to the object of the presence of a British fleet off the coasts of a kingdom already distraught by the anxieties consequent upon an insurrectionary armament. If we view the war be tween Queen MARIA DA GLORIA and her people with such impartiality and indifference, wherefore do our The inquiry line-of -battle ships float i n th e b ays of P ortugal? is an obvious sequitur to the seeming counter-movement andcounter-statement of the Admi nistration. It was partially from solicitude on this point and partially from sentiments of humanity that Lord BEAUMONT, on Thursday evening, excited a discussion a 3 to the conduct pursued by Great Britain towards Portugal in her present state of embarrassment and confusion. We are, from many considerations, grati. fled that the Noble Lord brought the matter directly under the scrutiny of the Legislature, and thereby elicited from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE an explana• tion so peculiarly satisfactory. Whatever may have been the impression hitherto prevalent upon the Peninsula as to the readiness of the British Govern- meat to side either with the Constitutional party or .with their opponents, those errone.aus impressions must now be dispelled by the explicit assurances of the Lord President of the Council. Notwithstanding the belligerent character of our maritime power in the vicinity of Lisbon and Opotto, there can no longer be a question that England is watching the revolutionary conflict in Portugal veith sentiments of rigid neutrality, or that the .British fleet has been dispatched to that portion of Western Europe, solely fur the conservation of British interests and the protection of ,British subjects. Beyond this ulterior object our .tquadron is prepared to afford succour to any inhabitant of Portugal, whether? royalist or in- surgent, when driven forth in Cie extremities of battle. By this latter announcement Re conceive that peculiar f orce i s i mparted to the virzual entreaties of Lord BEAUMONT, that the Engligth Government should snake a representation to the Government of the Portuguese SOVEREIGN in respect to the atrocious and despotic proceedings of that Government towards the unfortunate prisoners who surrendered at Torres I Summonses were issued yesterday from the Foreign Office to the Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council this (Saturday) afternoon, at three o'clock, at the Foreign Office. The Lords met at Five o'clock. In answer to the Earl of ELLENBOROUGIT, it was an nounced by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE that the cor resr,onclence with the Government on the subject of advances to Indian railways would be laid before the House as soon as it should be in a complete state. Lora ASTIBURTON then moved for various returns rdating to the Bank of England ; which, after a short conversation, was agreed to. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, it was ordered that no Committee on a Railway Bill should he ap pointed after the sth July. The Earl of CLARENDON then moved that the House do re-solve itself into - Committee on the Sugar Brewing Bill. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1847.

Translated by D. FORBES CAMPBELL, Esq. With the sanction and approval of the Anther. " The publication of M. Thiers" History of the Consulate and Empire' Is an event of an interest not confined to the world of lite rature. The charms of so facile a style, the method of so lucid a narrative, and the abundance of its authentic and hitherto unex ,lored materials place this work among the most Important pro ductions of our times."—Times. Henry Colburn, Publisher. 13, Great Marlborough-street. Vedras. Are our intentions towards the belligerents in Portugal strictly neutral ? Then let neutrality be preserved in a manner becoming the dignity and honour of Albion. We confess our willingness to afford protection-to the yOung QUEEN, supposing her Majesty to require shelter from the storms of the re volution ; and yet— coupling this with an avowal of our neutrality—we are to look on with indifference at the perpetration of a crime towards the insurgents of which history scarcely furnishes a parallel! Surely this is a most questionable neutrality, a most odious and dastardly neutrality! SALDANHA commits a politi cal offence, not justified - by the usages of ho nourable nations, and certainly not exceeded in infamy or treachery by the most barbarous states : he for mally and deliberately signs a stipulation with a por tion of the troops of the Conde I3ompim that they shall be allowed to depart with all the honours of war, on surrendering the impregnable castle of Torres Vedras to the royalist commander; and, on the fulfil ment of the latter portion of that engagement, he for mally and deliberately acts counter to his most so lemn promises. Instead of receiving all the honours of war, the officers of the duped insurgents are first conducted to captivity in the metropolis, and are sub sequently sentenced to be• banished to Angola, one of those terrible settlements in Africa, which, like Sierra Leone, has deserved the appellation of the "White Man's Grave!" Was ever conduct more infamous than this? The crime of SALDANHA is such as to almost justify an armed interference and a summary vengeance. It is a crime which can find no pallia tion, excepting upon the most diabolical system of Machiavellism. When NAPOLEON BONAPARTE or dered the massacre of the troops at Jaffa, he was impelled to that rigorous act by the execrable dupli • city of those soldiers of DJEZZAR, in having broken the solemn oaths which they had previously taken ; by their murdering the French messenger carrying a flag of truce, in defiance of the holiest laws of nations; by the dearth of provisions in the desert, and the im possibility of granting such scoundrels their liberty without unnecessarily risking the lives of his own men, for the preservation of which he was responsible as Commander-in-Chief. In the proceeding of SAL DANHA towards the prisoners of Torres Vedras we find no encitements of this kind, and beyond that we find, what there was not in the massacre of Jaffa, a sacrifice of all honour in the non-fulfilment of de liberate stipulations. SALDANHA, moreover, has not the manliness to have the prisoners of Torrer Vedras fusiladed at once; he kills them under a subterfuge, be poisons them atmospherically, he sends them in a das tardly spirit of assassination to Angola. it is the recur rence of such ferocious acts as this that justified Lord ELLENHOROUGH in saying that "greater violations of constitutional principles and of personal liberty were committed by these new constitutional Governments than under the harshest despotisms that ever existed." And it is this also which justified the Noble Earl in intimating that the British Government should be prepared to make a strenuous and not a merely vague representation to the Government of Portugal. If our ;fleet is to remain at Lisbon and Oporto, our character of neutrality must he preserved w ith dig nity by the prevention of such flagrant violations of the laws of humanity and religion.

Cummuss, detailing the scenes of misery and destitution occur•• ing in the western districts of the county of Cork, and his account of the lamentable condition of the unfor tunate inhabitants of East Reen and the surrounding country, a more painful narration of suffering and wretchedness has not been presented to the public than that which has just proceeded from the pen of Commander J. CItAWFURD CAFFIN, of her MA 4ESTY'S steam-sloop Scourge, under date of the Lith of February instant. The testimony of a gentleman wholly unconnected with the country, a British officer, visiting it in the discharge of his duty, who merely states that of which he has had ocular demonstration, and who confesses that he has been impressed with the idea that the accounts and letters daily appearing in the public journals had been highly coloured for the purpose of attracting sym pathy, must be sufficient to convince the most sceptical of the truth of the reports of the fearful state to which that unhappy country has been reduced from the combined effects- of. pestilence and famine. The village of Schull, to which Commander CAram alludes, is situated about twelve Irish miles to the south-west of Skibbereen, and is but a few miles from Cape Clear, the southern point of Ireland. It has peculiar facilities for the carrying on of a most productive fishery, for obtaining a support for the people, from the neighbouring ocean. It possesses a harbour, to which supplies may be immedi ately introduced from the more favoured and prosperous localities. And yet, notwithstanding all these advantages, the inhabitants are en during the greatest afflictions, which it would be scarcely possible to exaggerate. The gallant officer states that " Three-fourths of the inhabi tants you meet carry the tale of woe in their features and persons, as they are reduced to mere skeletons—the men in particular—all their physical powers wasted away—they have all become beggars." And again—" Famine exists to a fearful degree with all its horrors, Fever has sprung up conse quent upon the wretchedness, and swellings of limbs and body, and diarrhoea, upon the want of nourish ment, are everywhere to be found." This is the sad condition of the entire population of the locality visited by Commander CAFFIN, during an excursion of five or six miles, in which there was not a single one of the thirty cottages or upwards visited by him, in which the dead or dying were not to be found. The particular cases which he details, and for which we refer our readers to the letter ofthegallant gentleman, which appeared in 7he Sun of yesterday, were not picked or selected cases, but presented as fair specimens of the general condition. No such corrobo ration, however,was required—the constantly repeated accounts from every part of the island, from east to west, from north to south, evidence that the state ment may be generalised, and that it will equally apply to far the greater portion of the entire country, and this notwithstanding the gigantic efforts of the Government, notwithstanding that 600,000 able bodied men are obtaining daily employment on the public works, and 3,000,000 of human beings are thus provided for at a daily expenditure of over 30,000/. sterling. If such is the state of affairs, coupled with these stupendous exertions, what might have been the case, had the Executive hung back or refrained from sanctioning the extra ordinary outlay ? Surely no Christian man, no person possessed of the ,ordinary feelings of humanity, can repine at any burdens to which he may be sub jected for the purpose of mitigating or palliating in any degree the universal affliction. It is unfortu nately beyond human skill completely to remove the distress, but the power and the finances of the empire have been taxed to the utmost to alleviate it as far as possible. The Bill for the relief of the labouring poor, which passed through the Committee of the Commons last night, and which will now speedily become the law of the land, will effect much as soon as it can be brought into active operation, and the system thoroughly or ganized. Objectionable as gratuitous relief may be under ordinary circumstances, it must now be freely resorted to and generally dispensed. The liberal contributions that have been so generously offered by the public will undoubtedly have the most beneficial effect, and assist materially in checking the progress of the famine, which can alone be stayed in its destructive progress by the united exer tions of all classes in the country. When that the most urgent and pressing difficulty is successfully en countered, then other measures relating to the per manent welfare of the nation, if judiciously intro duced, and fairly acted on by all, will, we trust, pre vent the possibility of the recurrence of similar eviba The Legislature must, however, look solely to the general benefit, and not be fettered or restrained by any partial interests, or the selfish opposition of any particular classes, who may fancy that their rights or privileges may be interfered with by the proposed enactments. The greatest good to the greatest number is the principle that must be acted on, and by which alone the country can be relieved from its sufferings, and the social condition of its in- habitants ameliorated and placQd in a satisfactory position. Lord JOHN RusstLL, whilst sketching out last evening the proposed routine of public business, announced that on Monday fortnight he would pro ceed with the Bill for the improvement of landed estates in Ireland. We do not regret this proposed interval, occasioned by the necessity which exists for progressing with the estimates and other important business—first, because the measure we have men tioned will he, of all the others intended to be brought ' forward by the Government, the most important one of the current session, the poor-law not even excepted; for the principle of a poor-law is already established in Ireland, and it is only the due extension of its principle that is now in the contemplation of the Ministry ; and, next, because it is desirable that, by the opportunity for adequate reflection, the measure for battering the condition of landed property in that country should he shaped, in the first instance, with as near an approach to perfection as, regard being had to the difficult nature of the subject, can reasonably be expected. We adverted yesterday to the question of the size of the farms which are to be carved out of the waste lands, when reclaiMed, and excose the inexpediency of attempting to fix a maximum, particularly of the limited dimensions of fifty acres. The nature of the tenure to be granted is the next question for serious deliberation, being of prominent and essential im portance. The uncertainty of tenure, coupled with there being no claim recognised by law to compensa tion on the part of tenants, no matter how much they may have improved the lands they have occupied, have avowedly constituted the chief draw backs upon the - progress of agriculture. Wherever the Ulster tenant right has prevailed—which is a custom that obtains in Ulster alone, and through the greater part of that province, and by which the tenant is entitled, under what is termed "good will," to full remuneration for any durable benefit he may have conferred upon his proprietor's estate—the social condition of the people appears to greater advantage than in any other portion of Ireland. Peace and good order have been found to be the happy results of an adherence to the principles of justice and equity. With these facts before them, the Ministers will do well to recommend a law which shall operate uniformly throughout Ireland, in accordance with the spirit of the custom the influence of which has been productive of such singular benefit in the northern district. Were any argument wanting to confirm the evils arising from the absence generally of vested interests on the part of the farmers, it is furnished by the fact that, as a body, they are at this moment possessed of a large amount of money in the savings' bank. This capital would, doubtless, have been cheerfully em ployed in effecting desirable improvements in their several holdings, had they been permitted to enjoy a tenure of sufficient duration to promise a profitable return for the outlay. For the future, then, the Government will necessarily be provident of giving to the farmers such an interest :in the lands they undertake to cultivate as to induce them to apply their surplus moneys towards stimulating and augmenting the produce of their possessions. To this end, the system of tenure must be either freehold or leasehold, comprising a long term of years. To those who may be desirous of becoming proprietors, and who, in addition to the purchase-money, have sufficient to employ people in reclaiming the land, the Government should readily part with the free hold, but, as a general rule, the principle of the Go vernment should be in favour of the leasehold tenure, because it appears to he better calculated than the freehold to ensure a greater quantity of surplus pro duce, after liquidating all farm expenses. Men always act up to the exigencies of their position. Where the tenant-farmer has a reasonable rent to pay, the first care of himself and his family is to have the amount forthcoming at the proper time, after covering the expenses of maintaining his dependents in comfort suitable to his position in life. To accomplish this, industry and domestic economy are exerted and consulted to the utmost by the occu- pier and his progeny; their ingenuity is taxed to increase the fertility of the soil in every possible man- ner ; and thus the general good of the community is better promoted by the tenant-farmers than by the class of small freehold proprietors, who have not the same stringent inducements to exertion. They are not so frugal in their habits ; and where waste is not restricted by powerful motives for economy, the re sult is prejudicial in a twofold way—first, the land is not so well cultivated as it might be, and neat, whatever be ita produce, it is disposed of in a prodigal manner. We learn from Stuttgard that the Chamber of Wur tewberg, having voted the execution of railways to the amount of 36,960,0001., the Minister of Finance pro posed to the Chamber of Deputies to issue paper money to that extent. The Chamber on the 12th rejected the Bill by 48 votes to 40. The Government, in conse quence, will have recourse to a loan to carry out the in tended works. Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. On that day the QUEEN received the deputation of the Senate with the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne. The resignation of General PEZUELA of the office of Captain-General of Madrid has been accepted. It is said that General ORAA will be his successor. According to tke Heraldo, the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has failed in his endeavours to raise a loan in London.

He arrived there on the 2d of February." The Minister of Commerce has written to the Cham ber of Commerce of Havre, stating that he has just learnt from the French Consul of Venezuela that French vessels at present only enter the ports of Guayra and Puerto-Cabello, totally neglecting that of Maracaibo, which, however, furnishes excellent coffees and fancy woods. The Minister calls the attention of the Cham ber of Commerce of Havre to this fact, and recommends it to lay before the shipowners within its jurisdiction the advantages that may arise from entering into com mercial relations with this port. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY ' Fzn. 18.

This we hope . is mere surmise, for no doubt the Ministers and their employees, as well as the Bank directors can keep their counsel, and not give speculators an unfair advantage over the public. Of course people may make their deductions from facts, and as we find the Bank again sold Government Securities last week, and no doubt is con tinuing to do so, we think it must he with the view of making private advances for Ireland. It is certain that upon the financial exposé of Monday will materially depend the con dition of the Stock-market, and that there is great risk in operating previously, for the fluctuation may then be very decided. Consols have been quoted 9076, but are down since to 90%; Exchequer -bills have b een mar k e d 2s. to ss. prem.; Bank Stock is worth 204%; and India Stock 251, The Foreign Bonds continue dull ; Portuguese Four per Cents. are 34%; and Mexican 22, being flat in each case; Chilian Stock is worth 531 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at sS i t i .

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in his Court in the Old Hall, Lincoln s Inn, to-day, aid heard appeals. PEACOCK t. KERNOT. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed this morning. The case came before his Lordship upon an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor of Eng land, setting aside an agreement entered into between the plaintiff and the defendant, and ordering the hitter to pay the costs of the suit. The hilt was filed by the plaintiff, who was described in it as being a young man of weak intellect, and net free from intemperance, for the purpose of setting aside a contract which he had imprudently entered into, for the pur chase of a toy -shop in Cowes, in which advantage appeared to have been taken of his folly. It appeared that the plaintiff had been brought up to the medical profession, and .had failed, and he had then tried the army with no better suc cess, and about the year 1844 he went to reside at Cowe , where be fell in with the defendant, a person practising as a doctor and apothecary in the town, the owner of a medical hall, anti the secret proprietor besides of a toyshop or fancy warehouse, such as is fors-d in watering places, and which hail a private communication with the medical hall, and was managed for him by a young woman. The plaintiff being at large for a profession, was persuaded by the defendant to think of keeping the toyshop as his future occupation. The young woman was consulted as to the value of the shop, contents, and premises, which she re presented as worth 1,5001. The defendant's wife inter fered, and told the young man they would not be too hard on him, and they would say 1,30/., at which price the bargain was closed. An agreement in writing was then drawn up by a friend, a shopman of the defendant, who bad somehow acquired a little legal knent ledge, and by this do cument the plaintiff, if he should relinquish business, was to give the refusal of it to the defendant, and tLe defendant retained power to give the plaintiff six months' notice to quit the house. The plaintiff was next made to transfer to the defendant a sum of Bank Stock, and to give him a war rant of attorney for securing the remainder of the curchase money. On a former occasion an injunction was granted re straining the defendant from availing himself of these securities, and on the case coming on for hearing the judgment was pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor, of England, which was now appealed from. His Honour, in giving that judgment, s a id th at t h e agreement contained an incurable vice, and that no pez con could read it without see ing that it was calculated to do manifest injustice to the young man; though possibly this effect had not been con templated at the time by the defendant; for by the power which the defendant possessed of giving the plaintiff six months' notice to quit, the whole benefit of the agreement for the sale of the business might be destroyed. His Flonour acquitted Dr. Kernot of any intention to commit such a fraud; but, to say the least of it, it was imprudent, as be tween a young man who had failed in the medical profession and the army on the one side, and himself, a clever practi tioner, with a German degree, on the other, to employ a young man, with a smattering of law, who had been in the service of the defendant, to draw up the agreement for them. The Doctor, he thought, had been ill advised to allow the cause to go on to a hearing, and he felt bound to decree the relief prayed, and with costs. From that decision the present appeal was brought. The arguments on the appeal appear likely to occupy the Court for a day or two. ICE-CHANCIIRY.—(THIS DAY.) I's Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took causes ,o-day, but nothing of any public interest came before the Court during the whole morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WsGrum.) BUTLIN V. MASTERS. This was a motion for a new trial. The plaintiff was the vicar of St. Sepulchre, Northampton, and claimed ex. officio to be entitled to certain vicarial dues, which it was alleged were not properly belonging to the vicarage. There was nothing of any public interest in the case. His HONOUR delivered judgment to .day, and refused to grant the motion, but directed the costs to be reserved. Leave was given to mention the subject again. DAWSON V. PAVER AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this cause was the lord of the manor of Oswestry, in Shropshire, and also the owner of an estate on the manor of something less than one thousand acres. This estate was bounded by lands called Oxgang and Cliff Common, which belonged to the de fendants. Before the Act for draining these grounds was passed the defendants' property was drained by an ancient aqueduct running through the plaintiff's estate. That Act empowered the commissioners (the defendants), who immediately commenced draining their lands. Tho plaintiff filed a bill to restrain the defendants from proceeding with their operations, on the ground that his estate would be completely flooded. His Honour then refused to restrain the plaintiffs generally, but made a modi fied. order. The matter was eventually referred to a jury, and a verdict was obtained by the plaintiff. His HONOUR delivered judgment to-day in the cause, and after going through the evidence, decreed that the plaintiff was entitled to the costs, with the exception of those for two applications, and that the defendants were not, in the exercise of their powers under the Act of Parliament, to do anything calculated to obstruct the plaintiff's ancient drain; also to restrain the defendants from using detrimentally the water-course or drains mentioned in the pleadings for the purpose of draining any water from the same. He did not think he could proceed further. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Guildhall.) No cases of the slightest interest, except to the parties immediately concerned, were tried during the morning. The Court had to wait some time before a jury could be obtained, and several jurymen who bad been summoned, but who did not reply to their names, were fined 51. each. It does not appear to be generally understood that the sittings at Nisi Prius, whether here or at Westminster, in variably commence at half-past nine o'clock precisely, and that the Lord Chief Justice, who sat to-day, is as punctual as the clock, and that he deprecates, frequently in warm lan guage, waste of time whether on the part of the jury ortbe bar —frequently preventing unnecessary examination, and show ing the futility of many questions and their utter want of connexion with the matter at issue. His Lordship seems to act upon the old maxim, " Do not lavish your own time, nor waste that of others." COMMON PLEA S.- ( THIS DAY.) The Court was engaged all the da; , in disposing of causes of no interest whatever, except to the parties concerned. MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF DIAMONn.crTof a hiSmreosrneincf;bale _Kerr, s soon as the night charges were disposed looking man, named John er r, and stated to be the p mrster of the barque Levenside, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of rough diamonds, of the value of nea...ly 2,000/., the property of his employers. Mr. Clarkson appeared on the part of the prosecutors, and Mr. Ballantine attended to watch the case on betalf of the amused. After a few preliminary observations, Mr. Clarkson called Campbell, who stated that he was the mate of the barque Levenside. The prisoner was the captain of the ship, which was homeward bound from Bahia, During the voyage, witness had seen in the captain's posAession some rough stones, but did not kno what they were. The captain lea the vessel before the arrived off the Dawns, and did not re turn to her. Mr. M'Millan, one of the owners, afterwards came on board to look for the captain, but did not inform witness with what object. MI% Ballantine declined asking any questions. George Forman, the landlord of the Albion, in East Smith field, was then called. He stated that the prisoner came to his house on the 21st of January last. On the 22d the pri soner called to witness, and asked him if he could recom mend him to a tailor. Witness went up to his bed-room, and recommended him to employ lE. Hoare, who was a neighbour of his. 'Witness observed on the dressing-table some parcels of rough stones, which looked like gravel stones. Did not observe any seals upon the parcels. Ob served a tin canister, such as is used in tobacc o s h o p s , upon the table. On the Friday morning the prisoner was measured for some new clothes by Mr. Hoare, and after that fell into conversation with witness. Lie said that he had been threeyears trading about, and that be had traded upon his own account during the last two years. He pointed out to witness the stones, which he thought were gravel stones, on the table, and said that he had purchased them upon his own account. They were of little value at the place from which they came, but they were very valuable over in this country. He did not mention the specific value of the stones, but he handed witness a parcel, and said that he wanted 5501. for it. Wit ness thought he was making fun of him, but the captain asked him to go and sell them, as he was too ill LERKENWELL.-(THIS Since last Monday, upon which day Edward and °a u, Burke were examined on the c h arge o f a murderous as s ° , $ in conjunction with ethe r p ersons then unknown, 0,1 number of constabl es o f t h e N division of police, an were manded to this day, a number of other Irish labourer! to o taken before Thom as H asse l , 391 G, the man who had ..01 most seriously inj ure d, w h en he identiliedoneof them; a ' James Kelly. ed,L t Kelly, as well as Ed war d and Ellen Burke, were P -ac e alv the bar this d a y, w h en H assell crawled into court, Audi u "; been placed upon a chair near to the magistrate, he gr e ts evidence in the gre a t es t apparent agony, the main °- which were contained in our report of Monday. lb ° Mr. Cook, the house-surgeon, under whose treatinel!osit constable had been since he received the injuries, statue nature, and advised his immediate return to the hospiti l i et icet The prisoners, wh o eac h ma d e a long and rambling d were fully committed for trial.
