Advices have also been received from Rome to the 2nd instant. The Giornale di Roma protests against the reports published of the massacre at Perugia, and promises a detailed account of what has really happened there. - T FRANCE. PARIS, Tuesday Evening.—Private letters from the head-quarters of Prince Napoleon state that another great battle on the banks of the Adige is expected ; and that the Austrians were believed to have about 200,000 men in line. A capain of a regiment of infantry, engaged at Solferino, has written to his family in Paris, that such was the ardour of the French troops, that in the afternoon, when the order was given to charge one of the last positions held by the Austrians, the colonel told his men to leaie their knapsacks on the gonad, and that such as were too exhausted to advance might remain to guard them. Not a man, however, would avail himself of the permission, and the colonel was forced to tell off a certain number of men, and to insist upon their remaining behind, very much to their disap pointment. Volunteers are at present . engaged i n Paris for organising fresh battalions of Zouaves, and Baal is the desire of the soldiers' here to be employed in active service that a considerable number of non commissioned officers have applied to be permitted to form part of that body even as privates. The Empress Regent having been informed of the vote of the Nrunicipality of Bordeaux in favour of the Army of Italy, caused the following letter to be addressed by the Minister of the Interior to that functionary : " MonsieUr le Prefet,—The Empress has deigned to hand to me the letter which you sent on the subject of the vote of 20,000 f. by the Municipal Council of .Bordeaux for the wounded of the Army of Italy. Her Majesty has been much gratified by the patriotic sentiments which animated the Municipal Council on this occasion. Have the kindness to be the interpreter of her thanks, and to make known that the Government has laid it down as an .absolute rule not to accept any subscription coming from the communal funds. A circular to that effect is about to be sent to all the prefects. " DUKE DE PADOUE." VI his allocution to the Secret Consistory of the 20th inst. the Pope appears to menace with " the Major Excommunication," and the other ecclesias tical censures and penalties inflicted by the sacred canons, the apostolic constitution, and the decrees of general councils, especially of the Council of Trent, all who dare to attack in any manner whatever the t: temporal power of the Roman Pontiff." And in his I t oliness's encycelical letter to ‘" all the patri archs, primates, archbi s h ops, bi shops, and other odinaries of those places which are in grace and communion with the Apostolic See," the troubles that have broken out in the Roman States are attributed to " external intrigues, " and " the adherents of the revolt demand that those States be subjected to that Italian Government, which, during the last year • has shown itself the adversary of the church, of its legitimate rights, and, of its sacred ministers. " It was justly observed in the beginning Of the present crisis that the Roman question would be the great political difficulty in the accomplish ment of the m i ss i on w hi c h t h e Emperor of the French assumed as liberator and regenerator of Italy, in companionship with the King of Sardinia. It is true that at the close of his allocution, his Holi ness says that hii hopes of having the integrity of his dominions respected are increased by the declara tions and promises of " one very dear son in Jesus Christ, the Emperor of the French ;" and that " the French army which is in Italy, not only will do nothing against our temporal power and the domination of the Holy See, but, on the contrary, will protect and maintain it." Notwithstanding this self consola tion, I cannot help suspecting that this last phrase is less an expression of confidence than of misgiving or reproach. It is clear that Piedmon tese agency is as active in the Roman State it has beeh - in Tuscany, Modena, and Parma. It is by FrenCh sympathy and. French co-operation that, these Duchies are annexed to Piedmont; and since political regeneration is declared to be nowhere more needed than in the Papal . territory, Sardinia cannot ciootherwise than compri se it i n h er task. Whether Austria, when these supports fall away from her, shall continue to stand, like some tinie-:worn arch, by the mere force of cohesion, or whether she Will be completely broke up, it is not easy to say; but her Italian possession will certainly have changed owners. 'The thunders of the Vatican have, doubt less;- leng lost much of their terror ; Victor Emmanuel may still brave, as he has braved them. --0---- THE MEDIATION QUESTION The military journal, the Invalide Busse, contains the following remarks on the mediation which it is said the Prussian Government is about to propose for the settlement of the Italian question : mem"Lordherof the new Ministry. T John Russell is certainly thehelast s most influential peeehhe delivered in Parliament when he was a member of the Opposition, proves that his policy is quite different from that followed by the Cabinet of Lord Derby. Lord John Russell demands categorically the evacuation of the Lom bardo-Venetian kingdom by the Austrians. But to speak, and to act are very different things. Let us see, therefore, what the noble Lord will do. If, as it appears from his words that he believes he can maintain an absolute neutrality, notwithstanding the new complications which may arise among, the other Powers, we believe that such an attitude is not compatible with the dignity of England. Prussia has placed an army of 300,000 men on foot, which will be reinforced by a federal contingent of 150,000, and itis with this colossal force she proposes to offer her mediation to France to hasten the conclusion of peace. But such an armed mediation constitutes in some degree an ultimatum. If, therefore, the Emperor of the French does not accept the propositions of the Berlin Cabinet (and it is to be anticipated that, notwith standing his goodwill and all his moderation he cannot accept them), this army of 450,000 men is to enter France. Such a resolution appears to us not to be too logical. Prussia, in justification of the calling out of her army, declares th a t, since the year 1856, it has ben decided, with the full agree ment of all the powers, that henceforth all, the misunder standings and all conflicts between the powers, as well as all great international questions, are to be previously examined by a European Conness, which will employ all its p ower to prevent war. Was r ' this admirable resolution carried into practice previous to the ultimatum of the Austrians and their entrance into Sardinia ? Evidently not. England, however, sent Lord Cowley to Vienna, but without any result. Prussia, a German Power, kept constantly in the back ground. Russia scrupulously fulfilled her engage- ments, and proposed the meeting of a Congress. All the Powers then were agreed—Austria alone reduced to nothing the attempts made for the maintenance of peace, and began the war. Suddenly Prussia calls out an army of 300,000 men, and presents an ultimatum to France. But, has not the latter a right to reply that the conditions of peace may and ought to be examined and proposed by all the great Powers assembled together, and not by Prussia alone, w hi c h i s equivalent to a declaration of war ? Can the Cabinet of the Tuileries on its part accept these German propositions made separately? First, in what do they consist? The Berlin papers tell us a part. They announce that General von Willisen's mission to Vienna has been crowned with com plete success, and that this negotiator has obtained greater concessions than he could have expected. In what do these concessions consist ? Austria consents to introduce all the administrative reforms possible in Italy, and to cancel her separate treaties. Certainly, such concessions, made previous to the war, would have been really valuable, and might have appeared to a Congress sufficient for the tranquillity of Europe, which would, perhaps, have been satisfied with requiring some guarantees for the punctual execution of these reforms, for it sees now- how Turkey realises her ' Hatti-humayoun and accomplishes her promises of reform. But now that _ Austria, refusing the mediation of all Europe has . violently invaded Sardinia that she has ruined several Sardinian provinces, that thousands of men have fallen victims to the invasion—that Austria, vanquished in every action, is retreating—that all Italy declares solemnly that she will not remain under the Austrian yoke —now. in the face of all these events, it is at least strange that PrusSia should require that the Allies shall mak peace, contenting themselves with the administrative reforms promised by Austria, and with the revision of her 'treaties. We are willing to admit that such propositions may be made, but we will never admit that they can be accepted. The English Ministry, it is to be hoped, will not permit this new war to be commenced without having exhausted all its resources of persuasion." ----w-- HOLLOWAY'S.

THE NORTHERN TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 7 1859 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY ENDOWED SCHOOLS Mr. Dillwyn moved the second reading of the Endowed Schools Bill. Its object is to prevent Endowed Schools, from being considered as belonging exclusively to the Church, of England, unless it is so stated in the instructions of the foun dation. The terms of wills under which many Catholic Schools had been founded, had been interpreted according to the existing law, contrary to the wishes of the founder, and the Dissenters, in consequence, required the 'protection of this bill, whereby one of the last vestiges of religious intoller ance would be swept away. Sir S. Northcote moved, as an amemendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months. 'The Court of Chancery under the present law took the intention of the founder, as the basis of its decisions. The bill would therefore be in operation, when it was supposed to protect the Dissenters, while, if it was passed, it would give rise to much expensive and mischievous litigation. The bill, fur ther, while professing to respect the intentions of the founder, tended in many instance to overthrow them. It was clearly an aggression on the Church of England, whose religious teaching it tended to destroy, without substituting as-I,any other in its place. Mr. Fuller seconded the amendment. The bill was founded on a misrepresentation of the existing state of the law, and would tend to establish, in all schools, to which it applied, pure secular instructions, contrary alike to the feel ings of both churchmen and Dissenters. The Attorney-General admitted that it might be necessary to alter the language of the bill, nevertheless approved of its principles. The present law was founded upon assump tions, not in accordance with religious toleration, and re quired great modification. It was not politic now, to per mit schools, founded when tolerance was not known, to be it the present day, under the rule of an abitrary He would support the second and technical intolerance reading of the bill Sir H. Cairns would have supported the motion for inquiry, but could not consent . to a bill which would lead to grievances whic the dissenter now bad. a right to complain. Mr Mellor urged the house to permit . the bill to go into committee, as it was intended to remedy the monstrous abuses of the existing law, as interpreted' on recent decisions. Sir G. C. Lewis suggested that the matter should be referred at once to a select committee, as the principles which guided the decisions of the country were not clearly made out Mr. A: Mills pointed out the practical evils which would result from passing the bill in its present form, but would Tote for its going into committee, Sir E. Perry hoped that the bill would pass a second reading Mr. Walpole reprobated, in strong terrns, the bill as it stood, as altering the law on evidence with reference to one particular class by itself, as inconsistent with itself, and founded upon an erroneous view of the actual practice of Chancery. The repeal of the law of usage, as applied to a particular class, would be most dangerous. The practical grievance to the Dissentets might be easily remedied by adopting the suggestion for a select committee. Mr. Walter said that the bill, instead of remedying one grievance, would create a thousand. He trusted that the proposal for a select committee would be assented to. Mr. Bright said that the terms of the Bill might be applied to all classes of religionists, and not confined to churchmen. The name of the Attorney-General was on the back of the Bill, which was opposed by the Home Secretary. Such was the spectacle of a united Government on the first serious question which came before the house. Adverting to the Bill, the practical changes it would introduce would be yew few, while it would satisfy the minds of the great body of dissenters, who were aggrieved by the decisions of Chancery. Sir G. Grey said that it was admitted, on all sides, that there was a great practical grievance, which required to be remedied. It was, however, doubtful whether the proposed Bill would supply the remedy. He thought that some inquiry was necessary, but would vote for the second read ing of the Bill, on the understanding that it was afterwards referred to a select committee. Lord J. Manners said that their information on the subject would not permit them to pronounce on the principle of the bill, and could not consent to its second reading while he approved of a select committee Mr. Gladstone said that the house was agreed as to the difference in the opinions of the other side, the one being for inquiry into the subject, while another was for inquiry' into the bill. He preferred the former course, deeming it inconvenient to pass the second reading of a bill which it was intended vitally to alter in committee. Mr. Henley could not pledge himself to the principles of the bill, but was anxious that the facts should be inquired Mr. Deliwyn was willing that the clauses of the bill should be extended to Dissenters. He felt bound to press his bill, which might be improved in committee. The conduct of the Ministry on this matter would be tha test of their sincerity, and would depend whether he should give them,his cordial support or not. The House divided, when there appeared— For second reading Against Majority Lord J. Manners asked what course the Government meant to take with regard to the future. stages of the bill. On the motion for fixing the day for the cuihmittee on: the bill, Sir G. C. Lewis proposed that it be referred to a select committee Mr, Dellwyn wished to know what the committee intended to do with the bill, and of what it would consist, before he consented to the motion. He hoped that the matter might be postponed till the neat day. Sir G. C. Lewis observed that the committee would have the bill in its hands, and would deal with it as it thought proper. - • 11fr, Conningham hoped that. no compromise would be accepted on the subject. Mr. Horsman thought that the best course would be to fix the day for the committee, and then decide on the future course to be pursued. After some discussion, - • Mr. Hadfield moved the adjournment of the debate. Ur. Hardy gave notice that he should move thkt the whole subject should be referred to a se►ect committee. The debate was then adjourned. RIGHT OF APPEAL. Mr. M'Mahon moved the second reading of a bill, giving a right of appeal in tribunal cases. The Solicitor-General opposed the motion, contending that no practical grievance now existed, while serious incon venience would result from the proposed alteration of the law. Why should not the Crown as well as the prisoner, have the right to demand a new trial, but this would lead to an abrogation of the great principle of English law, that a man once acquitted could not again be put on his trial, ADIOURNMENT Mr. Bowyer moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. Longfield said a few words in favour of the bill. The debate was then adjourned. The remaining business was disposal of, and the house adjourned at 6 minutes to 6 o'clock. ACTION FOR INJURIES. EAMONSON V. THE BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.—Yesterday, in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, London, before Lord Chief Justice Earle and a special jury, the plaintiff claimed damages for injuries sustained by him while a passenger on the defendahts' line, and the plea was not guilty. Mr. Serjeant Shee, Mr. Collier, and Mr. C. Pollock appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bovill and Mr.Welsby for the defendants. The plaintiff was an iron merchant in the city, and until the 15th of October last he had been a commercial traveller in the employ of Messrs. Mushet, of the Dalkeith Iron Works in Scotland. On the 15th of October he took a second-class ticket from Birkenhead to Chester by the 3.45 p.m. train. It, however, did not start until four o'clock, and in order to make up for lost time, or some other reason, it was driven unnsually fast, probably fifty. or sixty miles an hour. When they were approaching Chester, the plaintiff was sating with his back to the engine, when suddenly he felt a shock, the timbers of the carriage fell to pieces, and rattled about his ears, and nothing but the frame and wheels of the carriage remained whole. He was knocked violently against some part of the carriage, and sustained injuries at the , back of the neck and On the calf of the leg. The train stopped, and after a time the defendant got out, and then found that he was lame. He limped as far as the engine -driver, and learned that the train had run into an engine which was upon the line. The plaintiff's injuries did not at first appear to be so serious as they afterwards turned out to be. fie had great pain in the calf of the leg and at the back of the neck, but still he was able to walk, and he returned to Liverpool by the next train. When he got there, he was attended by Mr. Jones, a surgeon, for two or three days, during which time he got better. At the end of that period he came to London, and took up his abodeit Hackney, where he was attended by Mr. Hagan. His leg got well in a fortnight or three weeks, but it became apparent that he had sustained a severe injury to the nervous system, and he afterwards underwent an examination by Mr. Solly. The plaintiff had earned from Messrs. Mushett about £BOO a-year, and from other persons about £2OO more, but since the accident he had been unable to act as a commercial traveller. The plaintiff in his evidence detailed the painful symptoms under which he suffered. Previously he had been a most active and energetic man, and a great walker, he having several times walked to Gravesend and back in a day, and 'on one occasion accomplished the diatance of fifty six miles. He could now only walk about two miles in, a day, and that slowly and with pain, keeping near the houses, as he was often obliged to - clutch hold of something to pre vent his falling. .fte had on one occasion walked four or five miles, but it knocked him up. He had constant pains pains.' He was frequently overpowered by a flood of tears, and the scream of a railway whistle or the noise of a train produced a most painful nervous sensation over his whole body, one of them being a feeling as though he had a tight wire jacket encasing the body. In cross-examination the plaintiff was asked whether on the sth February he had not . s -, alked about London for several hours, proceeding from Richmond-terrace, Hackney. to various places, until he reached Grays'-inn-lane, and then home again. He denied that he had ever done so. He was also asked whether his son, a young man of 19, had not performed his business for him since the accident. The plaintiff admitted that his son had travelled to collect debts, so that the commission upon them might be obtained, and he had also taken some orders, but his labours had not turned out profitably. The medical testimony was that there was some injury to the small muscles at the top of the spinal column ; there was a thickening in the covering of the nerve, and it was believed that the spinal column itself had seriously suffered. . It was possible that he might recover in a twelvemonth, but there was a good deal of doubt about cases of this kind. The defendants' counsel called no 'witnesses, but addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. Tne jury found a ♦erdict for the plaintiff, damages £B5O. THE SWYNFEN CASE. SWYNFEN V. LORD CHELMSFORD.—This case was brought to a close at a late hour on Tuesday night. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said that, as to the second count, which charged collision between the defendant and Sir C. Cresswell, he would direct them that there was no evidence to go to the jury. He would further say that he did not think it was decent to put the second count on the record. Public decorum, and decency had, in his opinion, been outraged by putting on the records of the court such a charge as this. He would lay it down as a principle of law, that all the law required a barris ter to do was to discharge his duty towards his client as best he could. He might be utterly wrong or mistaken, but if ho intended to act honestly by his client he was not responsible. The learned judge said the simple question the jury had to decide was whether the defendant had acted fraudulently or improperly, or in the best interests of his client. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant on both counts. CHARGE OF ARSON AGAINST A SURGEON On Tuesday, at the Southwark Police-court, London, Mr.• William Winn, a surgeon, residing at 45, Bermondsey square, a man of very dissipated appearance, was brought before Mr. Combe, by Inspector . .I‘l acintosh, M charged with setting fire to that dwelling - house , with intent to defraud the Roya Exchange Insurance Company. Mr. Henderson, the chief engineer of the fire brigade in that district, was present to watch the proceedings: Inspector Macintosh said : This is the fifth time these premises have been on fire. As soon as 1 saw the prisoner, I said : " Mr. Winn, how is this: Here's another fire on your premises. This is most extraordinary." He said : " I did not do it, as I have been away." I told him that the last time one of the lodgers accused him of setting it on fire. The prisoner said nothing, and I then took him into custody. Prisoner (trembling) : I did not set the house ou fire. I had been away nearly an hour after a bed-key we had lent, and then I was accused. Mr. Henderson : I attend here, sir, on behalf of the brigade, as this is the fifth time the house has been mysteriously set on fire. At present, I have had no comm unicationwith the fire insurance office. Mr. Combe : I shall adjourn the case. Adjourned accordingly. The square before the Theatre of La Scala at Milan is to be called Piazza Cavour. The Ministers and the Presidents of the Senate, Legis lative Body, and Council of State of France have severally given I,ooof, to the army of Italy fund. A. DEPUTATION, opposed to the opening of the South Kensington Museum on the Lord's Day, had an interview with the Earl Granville yesterday, at the Privy Council Office. _ . A society of young ladies has been formed at Brescia, who haue boimd themselves by oath not to marry any but those who have been wounded during the war of independence. Letters from Stockholm state that the disease from which King Oscar has been labouring for the last two years has lately increased to an extreme degree. The weakness of his Majesty has become so great that he cannot speak, and he has completely lost the use of his limbs. SUDDEN DEATH IN CHURCH.—On Sunday, during morn ing service in Marylebone Church , Mr. Jacombe, a Great Marylebone-street, fell down in his pew at the close' of the sermon, and died almost immediately. He had , been j• previously in his usual state of ,health. MODERN ENGLISH AT WORCESTER. —An old lady of Worcester, descanting on a fight between two other ladies of the tribe, said, "If her had, hit her as her had hit her, her had a killed her, or her her!" Such is the modern English in the old district of Caerwrangon. THEFT AT A BANK TABLE.-011 Saturday last one of the clerks of the city of Glasgow Bank (Edinburgh branch), while transacting bitsiness at the National Bank, St. Andrew's-square, ,Edinburgh, laid on the, counter a pocket book, containing £412 in bank-notes. His attention being momentarily distracted, the notes suddenly disappeared, and every effort to recover, or even to trace then] 'proved quite fruitless. The notes included two for £lOO each of the Union Bank of Scotland. In a letter from Valeggio of the Ist, written by M. Texier, of the Siede, we read, " Solferino presented a picture of desolation. I saw an old man, who like all the inhabitants. of the village had fled on the previous evening, come back, leading a child by each hand, to seek his poor house among the ruins. He stopped before a devastated cottage, heaved a profound sigh, and then cried out, Why are we, the poor inhabitants of this country, always to pay for what others do ?' And then crossing the threshold of his house, he sat on the floor, and burst into tears." DEATH or BISHOP MALTBY.—We have to record the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Edward Maltby, late Lord Bishop of Durham. The right rev. prelate, who was born in 1770, was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he graduated 8.A.. 1 7 9 2, M.A. 1794, - B.D. 1801, and D.D. 1806. He gained the prize medals for Greek odes in 1790 and 1791, and the Chancellor's medal in 1792 for classics, in which year he was eighth wrangler. He was consecrated Bishop of Chichester in 1831, and was trans lated to Durham in 1836. He resigned the latter see under Act of Parliament, in September , 1856, which took away iris eat in Parliament, and loft him an annuity of £4,500. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Shaft() THE MATE AND HIS DUTIES, by the late Capt. J J. Kelly —Rockliff & Son, Liverpool. In the wreck of the barque Mary Stoddart, near Dundalk, we related the circumstances of the death of Capt. Kelly, of that place, whilst engaged in a gallant and persevering effort to save the lives of those on board the above •named vessel, then ashore in Dundalk small work havit. , the above title, a third edition of•which had been published by that gentleman some time before his lamented death ; a work which we sjiould like to see in the hands not only of every mate, but of every master, of every shipowner, and of every - seaman in the merchant service ; and not only in the hands of the members of that service, for whose use it was especially written, but also in those of officers of the Royal Navy, very many of whom might learn a profitable lesson from the peu of the merchant captain. For different as are the - duties and requirements of the two services, there are many general principles that are applicable to both, and the qualities which fit a man for command in the one, qualify him for command in the. other also. Professional knowledge, firmness, judgment, courage, forbearance, self-respect and self-government, observation, knowledge of human nature, gentlemanly bearing, the art of governing others, patriotism, morality, all are qualities which together form the character of a good officer, whether he hold the proud command of a royal ship with a bevy of educated gentlemen to aid him and carry his orders into effect, or whether he be the single unsupported man who walks the merchant vessel's quarter-deck. From whatever point it is viewed, the education of the officers of our mercantile marine is . a subject of immense importance. Whether we contemplate the enormous amount of property that is intrusted to their care, or the number of human beings whose health and happiness, indeed, whose very existence is greatly dependent on them, being placed under their absolute care and control ; or whether the influence and example of so numerous a body of men as our merchant seamen, scattered over the whole surface of the globe, whither their duties carry them, how great, in the aggregate, is their power for good or evil. And yet so little tempt has hitherto been taken to improve or to afford opportunities for improvement to this important and numerous section of our community, that, as Captain Kelly in his work observes, it has long been matter of notoriety that our merchant officers and seamen are, as a body, more illiterate and less respect able than those of any other civilised maritime community. Peeling the reality of this evil, and the incalculable import ance of its being remedied, we hail with much gratification a work, which, written by one of their own body, and taking a comprehensive and practical view of the question, is calculated, we believe, to render an immense service to the mercantile community, and through that medium to the country at large. As nearly every . master of a merchant vessel must have first passed through the grade of mate, Captain Kelly rightly and judiciously addresses his book to the latter; for it . will, in the majority of cases, be in that grade that the character of the future master will be formed, or, at least, that the germs of that character will he sown. Nevertheless ther,e are . few masters who could study its contents without profit, and . not even the most skilful and accomplished could do so without gratification. We recom. mend every officer in the merchant service,hnd every seaman in it, who looks forward either to advancement in his pro fession or to self-improvement in his present useful and honourable calling, to procure and study thin book for himself. • It contains many useful suggestions in practical seamanship; although, as its author justly observes, the rigging of a ship and other departments of a seaman's work can never be learned from books. It defines the duties of the mate to the master, to his employers, to the crew, and to himself.' It contains many excellent remarks on the management of men, and general discipline, and on sanitary arrangements on shipboard, some useful information on the Making and repairing of sails, a vocabulary of sea terms and phrases in the . Spanish, French, Italian, 'and Betigalee languages, and also a series of questions and answers on the marine steam-engine.. The leading feature, however, and the most valuable portion of th e work, is that general in struction and good advice to the officer at the merchant service, and those unsparing but temperate remarks on his too common failings, which cannot be studied by him with out -conducing . to- his„ mental, moral, and professional imProven.• its; and many parts of which, from their high tone and practical and universal character, may with the same benefit be read by persons in any other profession or position in life. — The Life -Boat. LIVERPOOL POLICE _IYTELLIGENCE.—Yesterday BEFORE 'MR. MANSFIELD, ROBBERY.--CHARGE OF DRUGGING John Smith, a " knocker .about," who lives in Trowbridge-street, and.

After some discussion, it was agreed to adjourn the case for a week, so as to arrange the affair -.0--- SMOKE . NUISANCES At the Police Court, yesterday, before Messrs. Peel and. Heath, several merchants were summoned under the sani toly act, for permitting dense volumes of black smoke issue from their cones, contrary to the act of Parliament The deputy town-clerk, Mr. M'Crowan, with Mr. Wignall, the inspector of smoke, appeared as the representatives of the health committee, to conduct and prove the cases. On the case of the Messrs. M•Fic, sugar refiners, of Batehe lor-lane, being called on, lir. Meowan said, the heAlth committee bad to trouble the magistrates with four com- plaints against merchants of the town in reference to the smoke nuisances. He believed that in each of the cases the same facts would be proved as had been proved over and over again, that the works of the defendant's were in good order, and that if smoke was allowed to be emitted it was through the culpable neglect of the servants employed on the premises. WVitl► regard to the Messrs. U'Fie, they have had to be troubled : with summonses time after time, and have been fined rei and on their part, as they have been -s, fined, and it has been so often shown that they can prevent the nuisance, the neglect on their part is must unpardonable, and he should, therefore, press for the full penalty. Mr_ Wignall, the . inspector, 'pr'oved that, on the Zsth of J ant . . last, he saw dense volumes of black smoke issuing from the defendants premises, from 11 26 to 11 59, without the slightest cessation. He also proved that they had been freqnently fined, and that since the last conviction he had served them with four notices, on each occasion of which they might have summoned - to this court. He also added in statement that the smoke from the defendants cone was greatly complained of by the inhabitants of that part of the town, and also by many other gentlemen. In answer to Mr. M'Fie, Mr. Wignall stated that there were several furnaces emptied themselves into this cone, bet he could not say mit of which furnace the smoke arose. Police-constable Hess, No. GOO, stated that he saw the smoke from the time Mr Wignall directed his attention to it until half-past twelve, and that it was very black Mr. At 'Fie addressed the bench at considerable showing that they had done their utmost to prevent tt he alsO believed had other 'manufacturers. paid their men no less than £3 Bs. per month extra to pievent it, and if the offence was committed, the men had to pay dr; fines themselves. For his part, he, did not believe it pn.s sible that all smoke could be prevented altogether, but be did believe that they had got as near perfection as posale., considering the number of chimnies in the town, and the ‘. clearness of the atmosphere. Having described the nature of the works; and their extent, he proceeded to endeavour to exculpate his employees from any blame, believing that they had done all they could to escape the penalty, and feared. that what was hitherto called grey smoke had now turned to black smoke. He also added that, upon inquiry, he believed no notice of the present offe n c e h a d b een recei ved. In answer to the magistrates, .llr. Wignall said he had not of the offence at the ti going on, but by notice or after a lengthy .'e sultation between the Ilene and Mr. M'Gowan, at t ;he request of . , bench, a servant in the employ of the de - fendant was called, and he stated that he that he thought the smo&e from a furnace could he cut off in three or four minister. Upon this, Mr. M'Fie contended that, as such was the case, as.his firm had thirty-six furnaces, they were entitled to have three minutes allowed them each. This, Mr. M'Gowan said, would he virtually upsetting the act. `II magistrates having considered the case, said, that as the in spector had not gone to the place at the time, and informed them of the nuisance, the penalty would be mitigated. Mr. M'Gowan protested against - that system, as the: inspector had done so on former occasions, when he had been so treated that he did not wish to go again. Miter some further discussion, Mr. M'Fie regretted that tke inspector should have been so treated, and said it should be inquired into, and the parties reprimanded, if not dis charged: The Bench inflicted a penalty of 50s and costs. John Crossley, of the rice -mills, Rainford-place, was summoned for a like offence.-. The facts were preyed hg Mr. Wigtall and the police-constable; upon which Ifir. Clarke, one of the firm, add resse d th e b enc h at some leng a t, and called - a witness to prove that it was impossible for any man to prevent the smoke. A long discussion followed, the result of which was; the firm was fined 20s and costs. Messrs.
