fmptrial parltanant. HOUSE OF LORDS.—NIosnAY. The Newfoundland Bill was brought up from the House of Commons, and read a first time. The Ecclesiastical Preferments Bill was read a third time and passed. The Tobacco Regulations Bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be read a third time this day. The Bribery at Elections Bill also passed through com mittee, and was ordered to be read a third time this day. Earl FORTESCUE moved for a return of the outrages re ported to the Irish constabulary in July last. He contended that during his administration those outrages were rapidly decreasing, but that recently they had been on the increase most fearfully. From this be inferred that some change had taken place in the manner in which justice had been ad ministered. The noble earl next referred to the recent trials at Armagh, and said that the judge who presided had shown in his charge to the jury the vehemence of an advocate rather than the impartiality of a judge. The chief witness, he said, was a spy, and even from his own evidence was not to be believed upon his oath. The Duke of WELLINGTON could see no objection to the returns asked for, but remarked that the increased number of committals might be owing to the increased activity of the constabulary. With respect to the judge alluded to, he would only say that there never was a man more respected in his profession than that distinguished individual; and he could not believe that he would fall into the error and in justice of acting more like a advocate than an impartial judge. With respect to the witness who admitted that he had induced men to join the riband conspiracy, and said he had been employed to do so by the magistracy, he had to ob serve that the counsel for the prisoner who made the charge had subsequently withdrawn it. Nothing could be more base on the part of the mag i s t r a c y than such a course; but an in quiry had been directed into the subject, and if the charges were found to he true, the parties would be visited with pun ishment. After some further discussion, the returns were ordered. The Dissenters' Marriage (Ireland) Bill was, after some dsicussion, read a second time, and ordered to be committed this day. Some bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY. Lord STANLEY moved the third reading of the Newfound land Bill, upon which Mr. HOWARD divided the house, when the third reading was carried by a majority of 55 to 12. The bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. WALTER took the oaths and his seat for Nottingham. The house resolved itself into committee on the Bank ruptcy Bill, and various amendments were proposed, but the clauses as proposed by government were adhered to, the amendments being defeated by large majorities. The remaining clauses having been agreed to, the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received this day. Lord PALMERSTON asked Sir R. Peel whether the news which had lately arrived from India was true. There were conflicting accounts ; but one of them stated that the Go vernor-General of India had issued orders for the withdrawal of British troops from the west bank of the Indus. He wished to ascertain if this was correct, as it was a subject very interesting to this country. Sir R. PEEL. said he had strong objections to make com munications upon the subject, hut he had every reason to believe that the British troops at the present moment occu pied Candabar and Jellalabad, and be further believed that they were in such a condition as to prevent their being speedily t emoved. Mr. LEFROY moved the issue of a new writ for the borough of Ipswich, which was met by Mr. T. DUNCOMBR by an amendment to the effect that leave be given to bring in a bill to disfranchise certain electors of the borough of Ipswich on the ground of bribery and corruption. Mr. BLACKSTONE thought they ought not to legislate without further evidence, and that it would be better to ap point a committee of inquiry early in the next session of Parliament with a view to some general measure for the disfranchisement of persons found guilty of bribery. Mr. FITZROY contended that there was no case to justify the amendment, and impugned the conduct of the Ipswich election committee, who had, he said, prejudiced the case before they had heard it, and had in consequence made an unfair report. Mr. P. M. STEWART said that the parties themselves had admitted that bribery and corruption took place, and only disputed the question of agency. The committee were una nimously of opinion that agency was proved, and he main tained that no honest and clear-headed person could have come to any other conclusion. He had no hesitation in as serting that if the amentment were carried it would be the most important step taken this session to prevent bribery and to purify the constituencies. After some discussion, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL maintained that the propriety or impropriety of disfranchising the persons referred to by the amendment could have nothing to do with the issuing of a new writ for the borough, which could not be witheld either by the custom of the house or in accordance with the spirit of the constitution, except under very extraordinary circum stances. He had examined the evidence taken before the Ipswich committee, and he confessed he did not think that bribery had been sufficiently proved to justify the disfran chisement of the several persons named in the amendment. Mr. C. BULLER supported the amendment. After some observations from Mr. WYSE and Mr. DARBY, Sir R. PEED said that even admitting that all the decisions of the committee were just, that bribery had taken place, and that the members bad been properly unseated, he still saw no reason for withholding the issue of the writ. It was impossible to pass a bill this session for the disfranchisement of those individuals. Legal evidence of the guilt of each person should be produced to justify such a proceeding, and if the writ was not to be issued until the bill passed, Ipswich would remain for a considerable time unrepresented. Had a proposition been made to direct the Attorney-General to proscute the parties, he should have assented to it, but he would give his decided opposition to suspending the writ, believing such a proceeding would not be sanctioned by the public. After a few observations the house divided, and Mr. Dun combe's motion was negatived by a majority of 86 to 32. The writ was then ordered to be issued. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. Some additions were made to the Bankruptcy Bill on the report ; after which, on the order of the day for the Com mittee on the County Courts' Bill, Sir JAMES GRAHAM announced that the government had resolved to postpone this measure to a future session. It was, therefore, com mitted merely pro forma, for the purpose of introducing some amendments ; and the bill so amended will be printed and circulated during the recess. At the afternoon sitting Mr. Hums: requested from Sir J. Graham an explanation of the circumstances under which the Home-office bad commuted, for a fine, the sentence of imprisonment on a Mr. Johnston, convicted of an assault upon a housemaid Sir J. GRAHAM answered, that the case had been brought before him by Mr. Under -Secretary Phillipps, in consequence of a representation from Mr. Serjeant Adams, who had pre sided at the trial. The Home-office bad at first hesitated to relax the sentence, but had referred for further information to Mr. Serjeant Adams, who had made a report in reply, de claring his impression, fiem evidence laid before him since the trial, that the assault was not made with intent to take indecent liberties with the girl, but simply to force her out of the room. The offence bad been committed under irrita tion at her neglect to clean the room in time ; but the master had behaved very violently, and bad even struck her ; and Serjeant Adams thought, that though it would be proper to release him from further imprisonment, the remission ought not to take place without the infliction of a fine. The House having resolved itself into committee, to con sider of an address for the erection of monuments to the memory of Sir Sidney Smith, of Lord De Saumarez, and of Lord Exmouth, Sir R. PEEL rose to move that address. His only difficulty was in selecting the fittest, among so many tit names for such an honour. These tributes, so in fluential on the minds of brave men, were the cheap defence of nations. He recapitulated successively the brilliant ser vices of these three officers. It was not necessary to make the grant a large one ; for an unexpensive monument would be as signal a mark of public esteem as one of more elaborate workmanship. He hoped Mr. Hawes would not press his motion for adding the names of Herachell, Watt, and Davy. If scientific men were to be honoured with like distinctions, this ought to be substantively and distinctly done, and not accessorily to a proposal of naval commemoration. Mr. HAWES, thus appealed to, gave way, not without the intimation of a hope that Sir Robert Peel would himself undertake the subject. Sir R. INGLIS objected to the location in any ecclesiastical edifice of monuments to any persons not buried there. He would prefer the erection of such memorials in the approaches to the new Houses of Parliament. Sir R. PEEL proposed that the selection of the site should be left to the discretion of the Crown. Sir G. COCKBURN expressed the gratitude of the navy for this mark of respect to three of its most distinguished com manders, and gave several interesting details of their re spective services. Mr. HuatE did not object to the proposed testimonial, but thought it incumbent on him to plea,i the corresponding claims of science, and to express his anxiety that all such monuments should be made the• means of advancing the arts. Mr. WYSE put in a claim for men of literature. Sir F. BURDETT delivered a long eulogium on Sir Sydney Smith. Ati BaOTUERTON was unfavourable to such grants.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.---WEDNESDAY. The Bankruptcy Bill was read a third time and passed. The Insolvent Debtors Bill, after some di scuss i on, was read a third time and passed. Lord PALMERSTON movedent during _ for returns of the number of bills brought into Parli am the present through r esent session,teira se v , with rl bills passed h the dates at which the s a i d stages. The noble load said there occurred, from time t o ti me, in public affairs, epochs cur hich as it was good to pause and I • well as that which was be. vey the course we had pue( , general state of affairs fore us, and he should, therefore, take the present opportu nity of offering some remarks on the both at home and abroad. It rinciples which had was very g manifest at the close of the last continental war that the 1) . ntest and been so long in agitation would survive_ ose the co , rinciples must that changes in accordance with those principles take place in our institutions. There were especially two of those questions arising out of the agitat io n winch it was evident the safety of the nation squiredl should be brought to a speedy settlement—those o.c C'atlic eman cipation and parliamentay reform. The merit of the settlement:_ of the fir s t was d ue so l e l y to th e D u ke of Wellingto) , Sir Hobert P ee l, an d M r. O'C onne ll , w h ose pru d e nce and wisd,.o.me on that occa s i o u a l one save d t h e coun t ry f ro m civil war. ll other was im me di ate l y a b an d one d b y t h e G ove rnment of the day their oppo nen t s , w h o i ntro d uce d a measure w hich struck dismay into the ranks of gentlemen opposite, though the futility of their fears of political :thnilhation was stalicientlp manifested by the present position of their party. The pro gress of political reform had engendered the necessity of commercial reform also, and the late Government attempted to carry measures for that purpose but were defeated. The power of the whig party, whether from the activity of their opponents or from some other cause, gradually declined, until at the last election, he confessed they were defeated and almost put to route. The present goverment then came into office, but their policy had created unusual disappointment among their supporters, and was universally deprecated by them. not in that house, indeed, but iu every other house in the country. This, however, was not the fault of the govern ment, but their own ; they deceived themselves, or if they were deceived it wag by the silence of the government when ' in opposition, and not by their professions. It would appear that while they were in opposition they had acquired a sounder system of political economy, and had acquired, at least, the principles of free trade, as if their successors had impreg nated them with the air of Downing-street. In the speech, which, at the opening of the session, the government deli vered by her Majesty, they called the attention of the house to our financial embarrassments, to a reformation in the law, to the laws regulating the trade in corn, and the existing distress of the country. With respect to the first, however, their first step had been to increase our financial embarrass ments by the unnecessary reduction of duty on timber. No doubt they would retrieve it by the income tax, but they would receive a large revenue of public odium, as well as of public money, from that measure. 11 , ith respect to measures for the reformation of the law, the Chancery Bill originated with the late Lord Chancellor, and the Bankruptcy Bill, though introduced into the other house at an early period of the session, had been so retarded by the lethargic genius loci of the place that it had only com down to the House of Commons just in time to pass into a law, and would not have passed at all but for the ability and disinterested exertions of the late Attorney-General. With respect to the corn-laws, they had altered but not improved them—ther commercial measures were a delusion, and with respect to the distress of the country, they were about to prorogue parliament, leaving that distress far more severe than when parliament met. With respect to foreign affairs, he found fault both with their language and their conduct. The noble lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, had accused the late government of having bequeathed to their successors nothing but difficulties and embarrassments. Now, on the contrary, he declared, that both with regard to home and foreign affairs, the late government had bequeathed nothing but facilities to their successors. They had, in fact, been living on the means of their predecessors and banquetting on the refuse of their table or larder. The noble lord then ad verted to that part of her Majesty's speech in which her Majesty congratulated parliament on the friendly relations subsisting between Great Britain and foreign countries, and particularly to the uniform success of our forces in China, the probability of an early termination of the war, and of our commercial relations with that country being placed on a satisfactory basis. He then proceeded to review the foreign policy of the present government, which he said was actuated by a spirit of submission fatal to the interests of this country, and asserted that the chief exercise enjoyed during the session by the present cabinet had been that of walking from the bar to the table with the treaties he had negociated with foreign countries. Sir R. PEEL did not know whether the motion of the noble lord was seconded or not, but if not he had much plea sure in seconding it ; and he sincerely thanked the noble lord for a motion which would enable the country to draw a contrast between the progress made by the present Govern ment and that of their predecessors. He was surprised, however, that the noble lord should have deprived his hon. and gallant friend Col. Sibthorp of much of the credit which was due to him, for the gallant colonel had upon a former occasion made a motion precisely similar, and now the noble lord followed in his footsteps without acknowledging the 'source from which his proposition emanated. The noble lord had argued that the commercial policy lately adopted was the result of the Reform Bill ; but if such were the case, how was it that the noble lord never, during the time he was in office, brought forward any commercial measure ? His colleagues and himself were silent upon the subject during the years they were in office, and it was only when about to expire as a ministry that they at last brought forward a partial proposition of commercial re form. The right hon. baronet then denied that the com mercial measures of the present Government were borrowed from the policy of the late Government, and he also refused to allow that the late Administration had any right to arro gate to themselves the credit of being the originators of the doctrine of free trade. In fact it was Mr. Flume that the credit was due upon that head, for he it was who had first moved for the appointment of a committee on the import duties ; and if the late Government honestly believed in those principles, why did! they not bring them forward? It was no excuse to say that they could not have carried them, for if they believed them to be beneficial they should have risked their places upon success. The right hon. bart. adverted to the absence from town of most of the members of the late Administration, which he conceived to he an ad mission that the policy pursued by the present Government was correct, and that they had unbounded confidence in that Government. The noble lord was left " Blooming alone, All his lovely companions were faded and gone." But before they had departed, and left him " to waste his sweetness on the desert air." they had said to the noble lord, " Our absence is no doubt unfortunate, but we must go ; perhaps you will make some remarks at the close of the ses sion? Do bottle up a speech, no matter how thin the house, and explode it at the end of the session." (G rea t l aug ht er .) " But," said the noble lord, " should I not in that case move a vote of want of confidence, or something of that sort ? " " No, no," was the reply ; " follow the example of the illus trious Colonel Sibthorp, and make a motion such as cannot be resisted by tlie most sensitive and generous minister. (Laughter.) It is not prudent to risk a division ; talk about Afghanistan and America, and everything else, but for God's sake do not make a motion, or you will exhibit yourself in a minority of three to one." After some observations from Mr. Cobden, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Ewart, the motion of Lord Palmerston was agreed to. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the first reading of a bill for the better registration of the parliamentary electors of England and Wales. His object was to have the bill printed, with a view to its consideration in the next session of parliament. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. RIOTS AT MANCHESTER, &c. On Tuesday we gave publicity to a rumour of an intended turnout from the mills in the manufacturing districts, which has unhappily proved too true. The town above-named, and the adjacent districts, have within the last few days been disturbed by the outrages of a multitude of operatives and others, who have combined into mobs, and evinced a most riotous disposition. Though a turn-out for wages is the os tensible reason given for the outbreak, it is supposed to have a totally different origin, and to be connected with the recent doings in Staffordshire and Scotland, under the instigation of the Chartists. Several of the manufacturers of Staly bridge, it appears have recently been compelled to give notice, that the wages of their work-people would be reduced. On Sunday last, a meeting of eight or ten thousand per sons was held on Mottram Moor, where it is said the plan of the opes ratives was agreed upon. On Monday morning their plan were carried into execution, and several of the manufacturers at Stalybridge had much injury done to their works. Meet ings were also held at Ashton and Oldham, where the rioters behaved in a very disorderly manner, but soldiers having been called into the town, the disorderlies were kept in check. The turn-out at Manchester was almost simulta neous with that at the places above mentioned. Meetings were held on Monday and Tuesday, and on the last named day a mob of upwards of five thousand people collected, and visited several factories. and forced the proprietors to turn out their hands. They were, however, checked by Colonel Wemys and a party of cavalry and rifles, on encountering which they broke up into small parties. In the afternoon attacks were made by a party, consisting chiefly of lads, on several bread shops, the owners of which thought it most prudent in several cases to throw them a loaf or two. One or two mills were attacked by women, who broke windows to a great amount. Amongst the mills attacked was that of Messrs. Birley. The inmates went to the top of the factory, and threw down missiles, by which several persons were hurt, and a girl was killed. On Wednesday, about six A.M., as we learn from a second edition of the Manchester Guardian, two thousand people assembled in Granby -row Fields, in Manchester, and at the close of the meeting they amounted to upwards of five thousand, when they formed in procession, and proceeded along Granby-row. I n passing near the Manchester and Sheffield Railway they forced the labourers, who were at work on the line, to throw down their tools and go along with them. "No one, " they said " should work till they had got their rights." On their way to Ancoats-street, they sent a deputation to the factory of Messrs. Waterhouse and Thompson, Temple-street, demanding that the hands should be turned out, which was done, and the greater number of them joined the crowd. On making the same de mand at the factory of Messrs. Barnes, Jackson -street, a refusal was given at first ; but, on their commencing to break a few windows, the engine was stopped amid the cheers of the mob. The next resting-place of the crowd, who had now swelled to nearly 10,000 persons, was in Ancoats-street, in the neighbourhood of Messrs. Kennedy's mill, which was protected by Superintendent Cochrane and the C division of police. Having placed fifty of the police across the street, in such a manner as to prevent the passing and repassing of any one, this led to a collision between them and the mob ; stones were thrown, and the police, who, however, kept their ground manfully, succeeded in keeping back the crowd till a party of cavalry arrived. By nine o'clock, nearly all the factories and public works in the neighbourhoods of Oxford-road. London-road, and Ancoats, had turned out their hands. The mob visited nu merous shops and factories, and in every instance succeeded in turning out the hands. In passing along Broughton-road, one or two boys went into the shop of James Faulkner, pro vision dealer, and asked for bread. He gave them a 41b. loaf, which was instantly torn to pieces in the crowd. There seemed at first an inclination among some of the younger portion of the crowd to enter the shop and see if they could not get some more bread, but the main body of the rioters forced them away, exclaiming that it would ruin their cause should they begin to plunder. About a quarter-past twelve, a body of between 300 and 400 people, including many boys and young men, came sud denly into Princess-street ; and a number of them, in passing, entered the shop of Mr. John Howarth, fruiterer and pro vision dealer, and demanded some bread. Mr. Howarth thought it prudent to comply with their demand, and gave them five 41b. loaves, with which they appeared to be satis fied. About this time an attack was made on the gas works, the doors of which were speedily forced open, and two or three windows broken. Two prisoners, of whom the mob was in search, were rescued from the custody of three po licemen, who were beaten severely. About one o'clock, one of the mobs passing down Deans gate, came to the provision shop of Mrs. Aldred near th e Castle Inn. The shopmen, on the alarm that the mob was coming, were engaged in putting up the shutters; but the mob speedily pulled them down again and rushed into the shop, where they took or had given them on their demand, (we have not heard exactly which,) between thirty and forty loaves. On the site of the Old Red Lion, some new pre mises were in process of erection. The mob compelled the bricklayers and labourers there to desist, and twice turned them off. At three o'clock, 300 special constables were sworn in, and gentlemen were thronging to the Town Hall for the purpose. About three o'clock. probably 15,000 persons were assembled about Messrs. Birley's factory. MOTTRAM, GLOSSOP, AND TINTWISTLE. On Wednesday morning, a large body of people, amount ing to about two thousand men, left the neighbourhood of Ashton-under-Lyne, and proceeded by way of Mottram, Broadbottow, Dinting, Glossop, Tintwistle, &c. &c. turning out the p hands at a ll th e f ac to r i es , printworks and other large eestablishments; d s; but, we believe, without committing any outrages of have not staAilu Bridge , a serious character, either upon persons or pro perty.oth er t o os d y, l a w r p e i e believe, fo r t be same proceeded p bypurpose ; waybut we any particulars of their proceedings.

The bill for the armed occupation of Florida passed the House of Representatives on the 18th, by 82 to 50, notwith standing the earnest remonstrances of the abolitionists, on the ground that its effect would be to add, before long, ano ther slave state to the Union. No transactions of importance had taken place at the Stock Exchange on the 20th. State 7 per cents. had sold at an advance of A, and Harlem Railroad at an advance of 3 per cent. Delaware and Hudson had fallen off 1 Per cent. After the board had adjourned, 2000 dollars Illinois 6 per cents. were sold by auction, at 16k. There was no improve ment to notice in the demand for southern exchanges. Bills on London were dull at 106 to 1064. The cotton market was rather heavy, and prices decidedly in favour of purchaers. About 2,200 bales had been sold during the four da ys prior to the 21st, at 6to 84 cents for Upland and Florida; 6 to 91 cents for Mobile; and 6 to 9 cents for New Orleans. _ Accounts from all quarters represent the harvest as likely to be unusually abundant. The Acadia had not arrived at Boston on the 19th, when the cars left for New York. She had then been out fourtee❑ days, but it was considered that she might even be detained some days longer, owing to the prevalence of fogs. An immense loss of property took place in James River (Richmond) by a great freshet. 4,000 dollars' worth of wheat, 10,0000 shingles, and other property, had been swept away. Two lives were lost. CARLISLE ASSIZES, THURSDAY, JULY 21. Standard Office, Ten o'clock. UNITED STATES. By the packet-ship Roseius, which arrived here at an early hour this morning from Atnet ica, we have received New York papers to the 25th ult. inclusive, being four days later than those brought by the transient ship liolltagenr. The Herald of the 25th states that they have direct intel ligence from Washington that the long-disputed boundary question is very nearly, if not finally, settled. The result of the negotiations is stated to be this :—The United States commence the line at the head lake of the St. Croix river, run it directly north to Mars Hill, thence due north, till it strikes the St. Johns river, at a point a few miles above the Great Falls. We then run the line along the course of the St. Johns River, until it meets the St. Francis River. The line then runs up the St. Francis until it reaches the southern outlet of the upper lake on the St. Francis. This is the most northerly Point of the line. The line then runs south west and by south for 100 miles in a straight line, at a distance of 25 feet from the base of the mountains skirting the St. Lawrence river, until it strikes the N. W. branch of the river St. Johns. It then runs due south for about 30 miles, until it strikes the S. W. branch of the St. John's river ; after this it follows the course of that branch up to its source in the mountains, close to the source of the Penobscot and Metgarmette rivers, and terminates at the precise point where the south westerly termination of the three lines previously drawn by the United States, Great Britain, and the King of the Netherlands, were made to ter minate. The line, in short, varies scarcely a mile either way from that laid down on our map as the line defined by the King of the Netherlands. The tract which we have given on the north-eastern border of Maine is valuable to Great Britain, as strengthening her military position, but is not of much importance to us. The extent of the territory can be easily seen from the map. The General Government are to reimburse Maine for her expenses i❑ defending the disputed territory, and Massachu setts is to receive 150,000 dollars from the United States, for her portion of the land which is to be given up. We get Rouse's Point on Lake Champlain, and the navi gation of St. John's River above the Falls ; but, as we have no access to them below the Falls, the free navigation of that river, under these circumstances, is worth but little. Lord Ashburton, Mr. Webster and Massachusetts Com inissioners have all agreed to this arrangement. The Maine Csmmissioners have only partially yielded ; they wish to avoid responsibility, and are willing to let this treaty be decided by the United States Senate. The locofocos are opposed to this treaty, whether from party or patriotic motives we shall see in a few days. The steam-ship Acadia arrived at Boston at midnight on the 21st instant, having experienced, during the first ten days, very rough weather, with strong head winds. The British Queen was hourly expected at New York. It will probably amuse our readers to hear what sort of speculations our Yankee friends some time indulge In. The Herald, in announcing the expected arrival of the British Queen, states that that vessel may bring intelligence of Sir Robert Peel's death, for he was very sick on the 6th instant, and perchance, also, the death of the King of France. The Money Market was in the same condition. The re mainder of the news is meagre in the extreme. We cannot find another circumstance worth transcribing. Atipping intelitgencr.

IMPORTANT CASE OF ARSON. Mary Christopherson, aged 36, Frances Christopherson, aged 14, and Mary Blaylock, aged 24, were indicted for having feloniously set fire to a dwelling house, called the Angel Inn, in Carlisle, with intent to defraud the York and London Fire Insurance Company. There were several counts in the indictment, the first three of which charged the pri soners with the capital offence of setting fire to a dwelling house, so as to endanger the lives of those resident within it, and the remaining six counts were for simple arson. Upon being arraigned, the prisoners, Mary Christopher. son and Mary Blaylock, pleaded not guilty as to the first three counts of the indictment, but pleaded guilty to the re maining six. The prisoner Frances Christopherson pleaded not guilty to all the counts of the indictment. Mr. Robinson, on the part of the prosecutors, stated, that the course adopted by the prisoners placed him in a position of great difficulty, as the nature of the offence was so serious as almost to require him to press the capital charge; but, considering the difficulty of the inquiry, and the probable length of the investigation, as well as the prospect that ex isted of its termination not being satisfactory, he was dis posed, on the part of the prosecutors, subject to the opinion of the learned judge, not to press the capital charge against the prisoners. With respect to the younger prisoner it had never been his intention to offer any evidence whatever against her, as from her age and subjection to others, she might have been actively employed in the transaction with out being guilty of the offences charged in the indictment. Lord Denman coincided with the view taken by the learned counsel as to the course it was most judicious to adopt in this case. The plea of guilty as to the last six counts of the indict ment on the part of the two elder prisoners was then ad mitted ; and, under the direction of the learned judge, the jury found the prisoners Mary Christopherson and Mary Blaylock guilty, and acquitted Frances Christopherson. Sir G. Lewin, on the part of the prisoner Blaylock, said, tbat if his lordship would allow him, he could call several respectable persons who would state what the former cha racter of his client had been. Lord Denman : 1 should certainly like to know something of the previous character of the prisoner Blaylock. Sir G. Lewin then called Georieliddel7i - ;;1; farmer at Lit le Brampton. I know Mary Blaylock ; she was two years in my service. Her character was very good. She left me eight years ago. I have seen her often since. I never heard a word against her character. Thomas Todd : I live upon my own estate at Aikton. Mary Blaylock was in my service about six weeks about six years ago. She was a most excellent servant, and conducted herself well. George Elliott : I live at Longtown, and am a stationer. I have known Mary Blaylock since her infancy. 1 have known her parents. The whole of the family are very in dustrious. The prisoner went to service very young, and always kept her places well. Sir Gregory Lewin was proceeding to call more witnesses, when his lordship intimated that it was unnecessary. Lord Denman then proceeded to pass sentence, and said, — Mary Christopherson, you stand convicted on your own con fession of the crime of arson ; an offence of all others the most dangerous to human life, in the perpetration of which you have been influenced by the base wish to defraud an in surance company, and to put the unjust gains that might arise from your success into your own purse. The offence, at all times most criminal, has been in your case greatly ag gravated by the circumstances under which it was committed. The law wisely distinguished between different crimes of the same description, and sometimes the distinction was of ne cessity made by very arbitrary lines ; and in cases of arson, if the parties residing in the dwelling-house that was set on fire, were not allowed an opportunity of saving their lives, the offence was undoubtedly capital. In your case the fact might be difficult of proof that other parties ignorant of your crime were sleeping in the same house ; but there can be no doubt but you stand within the meaning of the law, both legally and morally guilty. The parties inhabiting the rooms adjoining those which you had set on fire were unquestionably exposed to all the peril of death by fire—a death beyond all others painful ; and, indeed, even if the parties sleeping in the house were not actually in danger, your guilt was little varied, because there must ever remain the danger of the fire spreading in the dead of night, which was the time you selected tbr your guilty act, and when the danger was most likely to be extended. Your guilt is further aggravated, inasmuch as you have induced a young woman living in your service, of respectable connections, who had previously con ducted herself creditably in various services, and found her livelihood by honest labour, to become your accomplice in guilt; who had herself no interest beyond, perhaps, the poor bribe by which you tempted her in the atrocious crime; ar a en n s d d s whom you have placed in the hard situation of having her life eafe a p rvn l aol s iritolmttr partaker keswu e et r a gehßrp r di oo l irumn y l stweo f ty o i hhfi tonreehfuftoreoaruai connectionse t gre e tdtuffs d eui eei b eitno y cti sna; wefr your auanr sattdhhn i ae n hndytr fl as aotda u tui tggehet aggravated.—Your rtn c prae e ltoedvi ufcoae e tgntbe x ehoyd e dtt rove very r tier rd differentca s )conduct, ume ts con duct.tf. you—htehYra tott to carry r y boc daughter, a rnsr u goy g cfhahtrei your lrda, w t y he l eus haveden n ev t d enes a ort n mi d g g io e an r tue e i bod d t t yonond of withdraw ait m eicl td i e g urd l ar it wyo , be n ntaahgnv the particulars op p tadhr a ate i i d t needuy h l eaerospf prudentoet n ch a ye l o t pua v urdobvc case ic t ese h e; ewf but,lrhaoewmn although I do not think it necessary to pass upon you the heaviest sentence—although your life will be spared, it is im possible that any future part of it should be passed in this country. It was one part of your fraud to remove your pro perty to America; and it impossible, under the circumstances, that you should be suffered to remain in England, or allowed to return to it. This is a severe and dreadful sentence. It breaks the ties which bound you to your family and your country before ; and your future life will be passed in labour and misery —a horrible punishment which no one can con template without feeling compassion for those condemned to suffer it, whatever may be the amount of their crime. It is impossible in your case not to pronounce the severe sentence which the law allows me to do ; and I trust your guilt and its punishment will operate as an example to deter others from offences of this sort, which, although conducted with skill and cunning, are commonly brought to light by some acci dent; and if even the criminals could cover their fault from human eyes, if it led to the destruction of human life, with what reflections could they contemplate having occasioned the deaths of their fellow creatures, their neighbours, their friends, and their well-wishers, who had been consigned to death by a fire lighted with their hands.—His lordship then sentenced the prisoner to be transported beyond the seas for the term of her natural life. Lord Denman then addressed Mary Blaylock, and said, — You have pleaded guilty to the same offence as the prisoner who has just received the sentence of the court; but your part in the transaction is of a different character to that of the principal offender, to whom you were a servant, and owed some obedience. But even servants should know that they are only bound to obey the lawful commands of their masters :—obedience to them may be indeed their duty, but they owe a higher duty to their God and to their neighbours; and if their masters command them to commit frauds, or do acts which might endanger the lives of others, they ought to abstain from obedience, and consider what they owed to themselves and to mankind. You have lent yourself to the criminal designs of the unfortunate woman upon whom sen tence has been passed ; but the court hopes that your plead ing guilty is an evidence of your contrition, and that, as your mother still lives, and those gentlemen of respectability have come forward to give evidence as to your former good cha racter, there is a chance of your returning to better courses and an amended life. The court, therefore, does not con sider it necessary to pass upon you a very severe sentence, not to transport you from this country ; but it is necessary to mark the feeling of this court of justice as to the nature of the crime you have committed, and its sentence is that you be imprisoned with hard labour for eighteen calendar months. A short time since the Rev. W. Wilson, Wesleyan mi nister, of Great Horton, purchased a box, being part of the effects of the late Rev. W. Wheelhouse, a supernumerary preacher in the Wesleyan society, (Bradford west circuit,) and on Mrs. Wilson examining the box, she discovered that it contained a false bottom, in which was a quantity of silver, amounting to £8 Is. The money was directly handed over to his surviving brother. Search was then made in the bottom of another box, which was also found to be made in a similar way, and beneath the first bottom was found the sum of a.:37 in gold and silver, besides security for money lent out to interest to a considerable amount. The relations of the deceased are all poor people.—Halifax Guardian. TILL PROPERTY AND INCOME-TAX.—The following no tice has been put up at all the inns of courts, parish churches, end chapels in the metropolis, and at the market-places and churches throughout the United Kingdom :—" Notice is hereby given, that all persons required by the Income and Property-tax, 5 and 6 Victoria, cap. 35, to make returns of their profits arising from property, professions, trades, and I o i c o a b applicationl e to his offices, are to deliver such returns, duly filled up and signed, at my dwelling-house, situate (according to the parish) with in 21 days from the date hereof, and that any person who i may col anro caset have may received obtain thefo r m s a applicable psaaird dwelling-house.

SHOCKING INHUMANITY.—On Wednesday the attention of the authorities in Gorbals was dir ec t e d to a yt. 1 ;ng ca se of cruelty on the person of Mrs. Cassel s , a married re o woman, in Coburg-street. From the circumstance s that have trans pired it would appear that the woman in question, i m b e cile mind, and deprived of the power of nearly the ' whole hoisof of one side by p aral y sis, was di s c overed in her ownbu locked up in a pr ess about 31 f eet in length by broad,ose where she had been confined for mouth s i n a wretc h ed state of filth and nakedness, a prey to vermin and all the horrors the door being opened of a caged existence, only when food was being furnished her. The bottom of the press contained some straw, on which the poor wretch could contrive to sit ; but the limits within which she was confined were so small that there was riot the slightest possibility of her stretching herself or extending her limbs for the purpose of repose. When dragged out by Captain Richardson, the spectacle is described as truly horrifying. The poor creature, barely veered with a shirt or loose garment, her limbs con tracted, and her person e maciated and covered with filth, could scarcely be handled, from the disgusting stench in which she was enveloped. Then den itself could scarcely bear inspection. After what has been stated, it will scarcely be believed that this female is in the house of her husband. The appearance of the house, and the style in which it i s furnished, indicate at least the exterior of respectability - ; ; and we are, therefore, utterly at a loss to account for the facts which have been narrated. The house is at present under the charge of a female servant, who would seem to receive proper pecuniary supplies for the purposes of houtekeeping, —Glasgow Chronicle. The husband, whose name is M'Crae, w as apprehended at Edinburgh, on Friday, and brought to the Gorbals Police-office. He was arraigned on Saturday at nine o'clock, charged with cruelty to his wife—and barba rously neglecting her. He said nothing in defence, and the case was remitted to the sheriff. SECOND EDITION. THE LATE SIR W. MACNAGHTEN. Rumours are afloat very discreditable to the character of the unfortunate Sir Wm. Macnaghten. At present no do cuments have been published to support them, and the fol lowing statement, copied from the Bombay correspondent of the Morning Herald, should, of course, be received with caution : " Disclosures are now being made which tell a deplorable story of fraud and duplicity, forbidding us ever again to speak with a clear conscience of the portily of the Affghans Sir W. H. Macnaghten's is now clearly shown to here been the immediate result of his own treachery. He had entered into a plot'—the word is his own—for the betrayal of Ameen Oollah Khan, one of the chief leaders o f th e insurgents, with whom he himself had previously been in treaty ; and it was at the conference which bad for its end the sacrifice of this man that the envoy was killed by Mahomed Akbar. who provokes Treason in others, to a traitor's death Justly condemns himself. The envoy had conspired with Mahomed Akbar Kan for the delivery into his hands of Ameen (NMI' ; and it was at their conference which terminated by the death of Macnaghten, that the last•named chief was to have been betrayed into the hands of the British minister. To se cure the success of the' plot; the envoy had desired General Elphin stone to order out two regiments on special service, telling him at the same time, what he needed them for, and congratulating himself on every thing being in such good train. It is reported that General Elphinstone started on hearing the word plot,' and said, ' That is au ominous word to issue from the mouth of an English man.' Be that as it may, Macnaghten went out to the conference and met Akbar Khan. The Khan, who it is now said had no intention of betraying his countrymen, but had listened to the overtures of the British envoy solely to test his good faith, although the proposal made to him, was, as regarded his individual interests, a most advantageous one, began to reproach Macnaghten with his dishonourable conduct— his too evident !desire to overreach the Affghans by any diplomatic trickery, however unscrupulous it might be ; and finished by summon ing him to Dunbar, there to meet Ameen Oollah and the other as sembled chiefs, and to explain his conduct before them. Akbar Khan called upon the envoy to mount a horse, which had been provided for Lim. The envoy refused to do so, and the Khan dragged him, or pushed him forward, to enforce compliance with his orders. Mac naghten resisted, blows were exchanged, and at last Akbar Khan, in a state of exasperation, drew out his pistol and shot the envoy. This is the story which has now transpired, and there is every reason to believe the true one ; for it rests upon the evidence of Captain Mackenzie, who. was present at the conference. and of General Klphinstone, who was well acquainted with the events which preceded and wnduced to it This is a sad tale for an Englishman to narrate " Copies of the depositions of General Elphinstone and C a pt a i n Mackenzie have gone home ; and the documents themselves will, of course, form the groundwork of the inquiry ordered to be entered on, as soon as information can be obtained sufficient to enable this to be proceeded with." BErrica Bow.: LVCKY THAN liscu.—A man named Samuel Ros cow, living in Grayson 's-yard, Wigan, and working in the iron foundry of Mr. Leadbetter, has during the last week, had the pleasing intelligence communicated to him that he is discovered to be heir to a fortune of de i 80,000, with accumulation, descending to him as heir-at-law to the late James R. Hoghton, Esq., surgeon, of Southwark, in the county of Surrey. DRZADVUL STORM AT BARNARD CA9TLX.-011 Wednesday last, after a forenoon of most oppressive heat, an awful storm of thunder an d hail passed over the town of Barnard Castle, Durham, and the adjacent district. Many of the hailstones were larger than walnuts, and in the memory of the oldest inhabitant a storm of similar violence has not been witnessed. The rooms in the ground floor in the houses of the town were filled with water, and of course many of the articles are much damaged, but we have not heard of any sacrifice of life, or any great destruction of property. Being market day, a large concourse of people were assembled as usual, and the occurrence furnished a theme for conversation during the remainder of the day. The scenery in the neighbourhood is peculiarly picturesque, and of course its sublimity was considerably heightened by the magnificent yet terriffic accompaniment of the thunder and lightning. ANOTHER BAILING BURGLARY, ACCOMPANIED BY VIOLENCE.—On the morning of Tuesday last, a desperate burglary was committed at the house, of a farmer named Wilding, who resided at Broughton, four miles this side of Preston. The villains burst in either the door or window with a huge stone, and after they obtained entrance they bru tally attacked the inmates, beating them ferociously, so that it is said the floor swam with blood. The woman had the forethought, whilst the ruffians were entering, to let a lad out of the back part of the house, with directions to alarm the people of the neighbouring farms. The boy executed his mission well, for, on two of the plunderers coming away from the house they were encountered by the neighbours, and after a sharp struggle, secured. A third villain, who had escaped to wards Preston, was observed by a policeman busily occupied in a field, and havingeaken the fellow up, audi examined the spot, it was found that hehad been engaged concealing Money. Th i s money is clearly proved to belong to the Wildings. 111ELANcimi.v ACCIDENT —A Boy SHOT _The inhabitants of the village of Ribchester were, on Wednesday last, thrown into great dis tress by one of those melancholy and fet a l acc id ents which too ire quently occur from boys being allowed the use of fire-arms. It ap pears that, on the day mentioned two little boys, Boulby Haslewood, aged twelve years, son of the Rev. Mr. Ilaslewofiazviclewood's servant,ar of Ribehester, and John Eccles, aged eleven years, son of M r. were playing together opposite the vicarage house, on the bank of the Ribble, and that Boulby Haslewood had a gun which he had secretly got out of the house for the purpose of amusing himself and the other boy by cracking off some percussion caps, not knowing that the gun was loaded The boys had been playing togeth er for some time, when the screaming of Boulby Haslewood brought his sister an who happened to be in the vicarage at the time t o the pot,dwahe'rveomthaeyn s found that the other boy, John Eccles, had been shot. The gun, it would seem, was loaded with heavy shot, as several of the pellets passed w tl w ie a :liot appears to have right through from behind t po he or ea fi r t , u w e 'h fe e l r lo e taken effect, to the face. The not quite de ad when lifted up; but he was not quite insensible. Ifs never sp o k e afterwards, and having lingered in a 'state bordering upon death until Thursday about 12 o'clock, he then expired. SUSPICTED MURDER AND PARRICIDE .—A most revolting and atrocious case of parricide or homicide, took place on Saturday night, within three miles of this city. It appears that a family of three in dividuals, namely—James Paterson, carter at Hales Quarry, Robert Paterson, his son, and Janet Paterson, the wife of James and mother of Robert, left Edinburgh for their home about eleven o'clock, and that they were, particularly the female, considerably intoxicated.-- When near Slateford toll, the female, it appears, bad been either unable to proceed, or some quarael had ensued among them; but it is stated by one or more persons who came up to them, that Robert I Paterson, the son, dragged his mother for some distance along the road, kicking her repeatedly with his feet, and using language in refe rence to her which we would be afraid to repeat. The father, it ap pears, was a passive spectator of this brutal and unnatural conduct.— Two men who had come up to the party, found the woman lying dead, and assisted to convey her to the toll-house. They afterwards returned to Edinburgh, and gave information to the police, when some officers were despatched, who took the two male Parsons into custody at their house, both seemingly unconscious of, or indifferent about, the dread ful event. Mr. Tait, surgeon of police, went out to Hanes about four o'clock on Sabbath morning, examined the body of the deceased, and gave a summary report. The ease is now undergoing judicial investi gation.—Edinburyh Mercury. Tug CORY VITRIOL Trutowuits.—Four of these miscreants, namely, Daniel Lanagan, John Drew, Daniel Sullivan, and Timothy Herlihy, were on Friday week, placed upon their trial, at Cork, before Judge Ball, for an assault upon Mr. John Wilson, proprietor of the patent saw mills in that city, and casting upon him a quan tity of oil of vitriol, from the effects of which one of Mr. Wilson's eyes was completely burned out of its socket, presenting a most hideous appearance, and the sight of the other rendered extremely defective. The evidence of one of " the body," who turned in former, and that given by Mr. Wilson himself, was perfectly con clusive as to the guilt of the prisoners. The Jury returned a ver. diet of guilty against the four prisoners. His lordship then pro ceeded to pass sentence upon them ; and, after addressing them in feeling and impressive terms upon the enormity of their offence, he said, that as their guilt was equal their punishment should be equal, and concluded by sentencing them to be transported across the seas for the term of their natural lives. The last word had scarcely fallen from his lordship's lips, when a number of women in and outside the body of the court set up the most deafening cries at the sentence which had been passed on the prisoners. Outside the court-house the greatest excitement was observable amongst a dense multitude. which completely thronged Great George-street, and the lanes adjacent to the building. The great majority of those assembled were of the lower order; and many of them were im precating curses, loud and deep, on Mr. Wilson, and crying out for the informer. Some of the mob were even heard to say, " That the next that should get the vitriol would be the jury." In conse. quence of the excited state of the crowd that had collected during was also the afternoon, the authorities deemed it pr udent to hav e a large body of the 7th Royal Dragoons in attendan ce, to p res e r ve order, and for the purpose of conveyingidßostehs t the prisoners dragoons,risoners bac th kto er g e ao w l a , where they were placed in safety a large posse of county and city counstabulary present, to aid, if necessary, in the preservation of the peace. While the cavalry and police were escorting the prisoners to gaol, it was deemed prudent not to remove Mr. Wilson or Quirk from the court-house, owing to the excitement of the large mob which surrounded the building. As soon as the cavalry returned, Mr. Wilson and Quirk gere brought out, and placed in a covered car p when immediately the mob began to throw stones with the greatest violence, and struck sub-inspector M'Leod , and several of th e p olice . who were cut severely. Captain White, justice of the peace, then ordered the cavalry to charge, when the scene became most terrific. After driving back the mob, the party then proceeded. when the rioters again rushed after them, and stories were thrown more violently than before. wounding several/ of the cavalry and infantry. The cavalry again ch arge d, b u t only checked the riot for a m oment; for, as soon as the party attempted to resumase then or dcroanwrsne,utih, they w ere again u i o l ent l y assau l te d . A party w intercept the mob, whil e M r . Wil so n and Quirk were conveyed, the former to the saw -mills, and the latter to the Brideweil ; and it was by great exertions on the part of the police, under the direc tion of Captain Gunn and held-constable Condon, that the streets were cleared,., Cork Paper. BREAD FOR TISE NAVY.—We understand that machinery is now ready, and ab ou t t o b e f or thwith sent out by the ad miralty to Malta, for the purpose of making there a supply of biscuit necessary for the Mediterranean fleet. This will be an immense advantage to the sailors, as, at present, a three-years' stock of bread is taken from this country , and much of i t becomes quite unfit for use before the expiration of that time. Ships in the Mediterranean will now be able to procure their supplies as needed. This arrangement will also have an important effect in diminishing the demand for corn for export from this country, and in conjunction with the measure for permitting merchant vessels to take their sup plies duty free from bond, will virtually leave the entire home growth for borne consumption. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. —An incident of an extraordi nary nature took place lately in the parish of Golspie, in Sutherlandshirc. The wife of a shoemaker had been, for a considerable time, lying ill of a fever, but was gradually re covering. She, however, suddenly relapsed, and as her husband and friends s upposed, she died on the second day after her relapse, about two o'clock in the afternoon. The usual formalities of stretching and laying out the body were adopted ; and her husband procured , money from his em ployers, and ordered inouri?iTg for his family. Next day, about twelve o'clock, as the joiner was taking measure of her coffiin, she gave a sneeze, and otherwise made a stir with her body. On taking off the grave clothes she looked up in a wild manner, and made a motion with her hand, as if she wanted something to eat. A few cordials were administered to her. She was then put to bed, and enjoyed a sound sleep. She has since gradually recovered, and is now quite out of danger.—lnverness Courier. TIDE TABLE. Days. Men. Eva. Height. Sundays, Holydays, H. M.

New. of good quality, realized 7s. Bd. per 72 lbs. ; but to have effected sales of old, lower rates must have been accepted. Barley, Oats, and Beans, only retail sales arc reported, at last week's prices. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 9. This is generally our quietestday in Cotton, but, from the commencement of business to the present hour, buyers have been very active, and fully 5000 bales have been sold, at the extreme prices of yesterday, or id per lb on our quotations of Friday last. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 11. The general turn-out of the operatives in the manufacturing districts for an advance of wages, has caused a check to the de mand in our Cotton market, as evinced by the comparatively small amount of business, viz. on Wednesday 3500 bales, and to-day only 3000. Prices however are firm, and there seems no disposi tion on the part of holders to press their stocks. It was remarked that had it not been for this untoward event, a very extensive business would have been done, as it was they were by no means dull, and greater confidence generally manifested. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGU S T 9. OugiToTtiiupplies, coastwise and from Ireland, are somewhat increased, they are still, generally as of late, very moderate : any deficiency thence, however, is amply com pensated by further superabundant imports of Wheat and Flour from abroad ; the former, from all sources, amounting since this day week to 46,191 qrs., the latter to 48,712 barls. and 1928 sacks, as stated below. With the exception of a few light showers, the weather has continued highly favourable for harvest, which, having already commenced in early situations around us, is pro ceeding vigorously. Influenced by the certainty of higher duties, importers are actively preparing to release the stocks of Wheat and Flour in bond, which, if the present year's crop be well saved, will at once bring a large surplus of these articles upon the free market. Having in consequence's liberal show of samples this morn ing, and holders being inclined to give way 2d. to 3d. on the best Wheats, and even more for the lower descriptions, sales were effected to a tolerably large extent, partly for Ireland and distant parts of the interior of this country, and the trade closed rather steadily at the reduction. Flour was more difficult of disposal, and must be noted Is. to ls. 6d. per barrel cheaper than on this day se'nnight. A small parcel of Irish new Oats brought 3s Id to 3s 2d, and good old were rather more saleable, at a decline of id per 451bs below our last quotations, 2s 10d being the extreme price to-day. Old Oatmeal was in very limited request, at an abatement of is Gd ; and Irish new was scarcely worth 30s per 2401b5. Otfier articles almost without demand, and nominally cheaper. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. AUGUST 8. The supplies of English wheat are small ; but the continuance of fine weather and the progress of harvest, and large quantities of foreign wheat on sale from vessels lately arrived, cause the trade to remain depressed; there is, however, rather more business doing to.day, at the prices of last market day, and is to 2s per quarter below the rates of this day week. Flour remains very dnll, and is 2s per sack cheaper. The trade remains dull for Barley, Beans and Peas, and prices are unaltered. The supply of Oats is good ; the demand is rather improved, and the currency of this day week is maintained. WEDNESDAY, August 11. There is again a large show of samples of free foreign Wheat, but scarcely a transaction has taken place excepting for the retail trade. There is a good supply of Oats, but the business is equally trifling in that article. The samples of new English Wheat are uniformly fine, and the factors do not appear to be desirous of foreign sales at prices below the present rates. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 8. The trade to-day was generally very dull, from the greatly de creased demand for Meat, and in consequence of the supplies being larger than of dinary, a large proportion were turned out unsold of Horned Beasts, Sheep, and Lambs. Of Pigs and Calves few re mained on hand. Little alteration was however made in the prices for Beef and Mutton from those of Friday last, but choice young Lamb did not realise more than 5s the stone, which is lower by full 2d than on that day. Veal and Pork on the contrary may be quoted a little higher, say 4s and 48 10d respectively for inferior and superior qualities. 7,01V . D0N GAEEII'E.-TUI. 4 -.SDA.Y, AUGUST . ' 12.
