The first order was for the police to put in force an anti-
quated and obsolete law, and tie second order annulled
the first, us not being the most convenient Way of
dealing with the matter. and concluOcd Vir-
tual promise that the public should receive full
information as to the course the government would plume
in regard to the question. Unfortunately that promise had
not been fulfilled.

ROYAL COMMISSION.
Sir Augustus Clifford, black rod, appeared at Coe bar,
and summoned the house to attend the House of Lords, to
bear the royal assent by 001:Mi811101.1 given to certain bills,

far wilieh *es Lords' report.
The SPEAKER, on his return, stated that the royal
minunission to the Prince and
assent had been given by
Princess of Wales' Aunuity Bill.
Lord PALMERSTON said he wished to offer an implant-
ticn ill regard to the statement made by his hon. friend the
member :or South Hampshire. It was quite true that
about tat, year, ago some workmen engaged in digging a
drain in some meadows forming part of a farm which he
bought a few years before found what was technically called
a torquise—that ass, one of those British circlets which
ware worn round the neck or arm, and made of gold.
He got it back from the person who purchased it from
the ILA) who found it. The value of the article was about
131. Dui he had an investigation made of the original grant
of the farm several centuries ago, and he found that that
grant contained a right to the grantee to all treasure trove
on the ground. He therefore obtained the circlet, and his
hon. friend had perhaps seen it in the South Remington
Museum (A. bingh.)
• • • -

Mr. F. PEEL said it was by no means an obsolete or
absurd law that where articles of gold or silver were found
• --

toccealed. and the owner wee not known, or no grout was
made by the crown of the treasure trove on the land to the
owner, the property belonged to the crown, and formed •
branch of the royal revenue. But, in fact, this was • right
of the crown not exercised ins stringent manner—the usual
course being to return the article to the person whe bad the
best claim to it, or in the event of its being of antiquarian
or historical interest to present it to the Bntiah Museum, or
some local museum, in which case the intrinsic value of
it was given to the tinder or the person who had the beat
claim to the relic. A circular was issued in 1850 instructing
finders of such articles how to proceed to make known their
discovery, but it was recalled in consequence of being open
to some objection. last year 110 stated in reply to the bon.
baronet that • new instruction had been prepared, but under
all the circumstances it bad not been thought advisable to
mane it. It was not easy to determine whether the finder
of the article, the employer of the tinder, or the owner of
the land, had the best claim to the property. He was not,
however, aware of any practical inconvenience on the sub-
ject, sod until that arose he did not think it would be ac-
cessary to issue any fresh instructions.

THE NAVY ESTIMATES.

The whole of the estimates having been taken the house
then resumed.
TOBACCO DUTIES BILL.
Upon the order of the day for going into committee on
this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he
proposed in committee to-morrow to cull upon them to pass
• resolution to the effect that in future the duty on unmanu-
, factured tobacco imported into Great Britain and Ireland. if
contaiaing lees than 10 per cent. moisture, should be 3s. 6d.
• pound instead of 3a., and rive per cent.
Sir G. BOWYER wished to know whether the right
hon. gentleman was prepared to take into consideration
use important point, namely, the ingredients introduced
into Cavendish sad negrobead tobacco. He was informed
that the foreign manufacturer was allowed to introduce a
quantity of saccharine matter and spirits into the tobacco.,
which rendered it more agreeable to the consumer, whereas
at present the English manufacturer was not allowed to
do so.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
bill would establish a perfect equality, and the English
manufacturer would therefore be allowed to intredese the '
sweetening ingredients is question.
MALT DUTY BILL.
This bill paused through committee.
UNION RELIEF All) ACT (1862) CONTINUANCE
BILL.
This bill was read a third time and peened.
POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL
The house went into committee an this bill.
On clause 1,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
addition of the following words :—" But, in the case of
minors, the money so transferred shall not be withdrawn.
except with the consent of the Postmaster eneral, or of
any two trustee, or managers of the savings bank to which
the transfer is made, until the minor shall have attained the
age at which it might have been withdrawn under the roles
of the savings bank from which it was transferred, • note
whereof shall be made on the said certificate."
The amendment was agreed to.
The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses up to
4 inclusive.
Upon clause 5,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as
soon as the system was well on its legs he proposed to bring
it under the review of the house by moving an annual vote
for the expense of carrying it oat, sod it would be the
business of the haus. to see that the receipts and expendi-
ture were so Dearly balanced that the public was not unduly
burthened. He believed that the system would turn out to
be entirely self-supporting.
This clause, as well as the remaining clauses, were also
agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER next
moved the addition of the following clause, which, after
a brief discussion, was agreed to :—" The trustees of
any savings bank, at • meeting called for that par-
pose, may appoint any number of managers to sign
transfer certifiates • and the signatures of any two of
such managers to a transfer certificate shall be a sufficient
authority to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the
National Debt to transfer the amount set forth in such cer-
tificate : provided, that • list of such managers, with their
signatures, certified by two trustees, shall have been pre-
viously deposited with the Commissioners for the Reduction
of the National Debt.*
MARRIAGES, he. (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. VANCE, in the absence of Sir E. Grogan, moved the
second reading of this bill, the object of which was to place
certain churches, in Ireland on the same footing as Presby-
terians, the Society of Friends, sod Jews. The measure
would relieve united Presbyterians, Covenanters, Indepen-
dents, Baptista, and especially Wesleyans—in all nearly
500 charcbse—from a disability under which they now
laboured by being obliged to send a notice of marriage
through the registrar to the poor-house. It would also
enable minors to obtain the necessary certificate for mare
rage, in the case of guardians being unwilling to grant it,
by applying to the consistory judge at Dublin and Armagh
instead of to the Court of Chancery.
Sir R. PEEL admitted that • certain class in Ireland
suffered • coosiderable grievance under the act of 1844.
The bill would not bear on the Presbyterian body,
but upon Independents, Moravian, and dissenting mes-
hy tartans, and it contained several provisions which
required the serious deliberation of the government.
In clause 2 there was an important novelty, namely, ••
provision obliging persons about to marry to state in thekr
application the names of the places of worship which they
habitually attended. There was nothing like this in the
present law, and he certainly was not inclined to accept the
novelty. Clause 12, in his opinion, vitiated the whole
bill, for it provided that nothing in the act should give
validity to • marriage which, under the predate law, would
not have been valid. He trusted the bon. member would
give this clause his particular attention. He hoped they
would be able to alter the bill in committee, but be most
say. as an individual member, that he thought many of its
provisions most objectionable.
Mr.' BUTT would offer no opposition to the second
reading.
Captain JERVIS would, in committee, move certain
alterations in the bill.
In smear toe question from Sir 8.. PEIL,
Sir E. GROGAN said the fifth clause, which provided
that the Registrar-General should send printed forms to the
ministers of the chapels, was the a: me provision se that in
the Giantism Marriage Act with regard to ministered the
established church and presbyterians. The object of the
bill ens simply to put the protestant dissenters in Ireland
on the game footing as their co-religiouista.
Thy bill was thee road • seoood time.
REAMER OF VOTERS BILL.
This bill was reads third time, and pawed.
SALE OF HARES IN IRELAND.
Mr. HASSAB.D obtained leave to bring. in • bill to
amend the law relating to the sale of hares to Ireland.
BURIAL OF DISSENTERS.
Sir M. PETO moved for leave to bring in • bill to make
further provision with respect to burials in England and
Wales. He said he brought in a similar bill last year, and
it wee referred to • select committee, and the present bill
eyeballed the alterations proposed by. that committee.
Leave was given, and the bill was brought in and read a
first time.
The house then adjourned at 25 minutes to 11 o'clock.

On the order for going into committee of supply,
Mr. COBDEN cdled attention to the large number of
obsolete needs of war in the B:itish navy, and offered some
observations on the conduct of our naval administration,
which had prude eel this state of things. The hon. mem-
ber observed that, by obsolete ship* of war, he meant
that portion of the Neat which consisted simply of
wooden tenets. At the present moment we bad 558 of
that description of ships. One hundred and six of
these were either line-of-battle ships or large frigates,
the remainder, about 450, were of • smaller kind, and
ranged from corvettes down to the smallest gunboat.
With the latter he did not mean to deal on that occasion ;
but his remarks would apply strictly and exclusively to the
106 wooden line-of-battle ships. Of them 66 were steam
line-of-battle ships, and 40 steam frigates ; 14 were up-
wards of 3,000 toes, and 33 upwards of 2,000 tons each,
the average being • larger tonnage than the 'Victory in
which Nelson perished at Trafalgar. In the existing state
of naval architecture and the science of naval warfare, he
contended that these vessels ought never to have been built,
because experience had those that vessels rising out
of the water with three decks were nothing better than
so msoy targets for the enemy to fire at. Such ships, there-
fore, not only gave us no strength against an enemy, but
were actually • cause of weakness lied danger to the
country ; for if we went to war to-morrow he did not
believe we crould avail ourselves of any or all of them to
oppose a single iron need belonging to France or the United
States. We were in this dilemma then, that during the
last eight years we bad spent some 30,000,000/. in the
material of a wooden navy which was now altogether
useless. The 106 line-of-battle ships cost about 20,000,0001.
of which he held that the naval administration
of the Earl of Darby was fairly responsible for
10A/0,0001. The rest of the blame must be divided
about equally between eaoh side of the house. He then
ed to review the conduct of Admiralty affairs by the
Er anded the present government, severely taunting Lord C.
Paget with his abandonment in office of these pledges of
naval reform of which he had been so lavish when out of
office. He hoped the noble lord would now make a clean
breast of it, said tell the house with • frankness that became '
his profession how it was thatat the Admiralty be had been
administering to • state of things which was altogether
contrary to his own judgment, and which he himself '
had utterly condemned. These large wooden ships
being useless and even dangerous in the event of
war, the question which suggested itself was, what was to
be done with them! At this moment 47 of them were in
commission, manned by 30,000 out of the 76,000 men voted
for the service of the year. Was the country, he asked,
in such • state as to look calmly upon such an expen-
diture? The govsrument called themselves the friends
of reform and retrenchment ; but wee the house doing
justice to the people in allowing them to take • vote
of 76,000 men when it was demonstrated that such •
force could not be employed except to the danger of
the country? What would become of it? Surely, as mere
statesmen, ministers ought to be ashamed of themselves,
and statesmen who could pursue such a policy as to say,
" We will have 76,000 men this year, because we had the
i same number last year," were as obsolete, wooden, and no-
reasoning as were the vessels of which he bad been speak-
ing. He was ready to incur any amount of expenditure to
make the country invulnerable at sea, but not to waste the
public resources in the coestroction of ships that were
utterly useless upon the showing of the Secretary to the
Admiralty himself, in 18.7.9. True, it might he
impracticable to throw all these vessels out of
commission at once ; but he did my that the pro-
posal to vote 70,000 men to be employed in such ships was
an insult to and an outrage ethos the common sense of the
country. He contended, therefore, that parliament might,
eonsisteutly with the misty, honour. and iotegrity of the
country, effect • considerab'e reduction in the number of
men that was demanded by the government this year.
Lord R. MONTAGU questioned the force of some of the
issues which Mr. Cobden had raised, and objected to his
attempt to reduce the number of men and ships before a
complete irma-clad fleet was established.
Mr. LINDSAY drew attention to the neglect with which
the masters of the navy were treated, and the denial of
promotion to that valuable body of men. He asked if it
was intended to carry out any plan for the amelioration of
the position of the meters.
Lord C. PAGET said that the subject had been con-
sidered, and there was a plan devised by which, without
abolishing the grade of master, the position could be
improved. As to his annual scolding from Mr. Cobden.
which he expected, be denied that the present Ad- '
miralty bad had anythieg to do with the building
of line-of-battle ships, except so far as adapting five
that were is course of construction to carry armour plates.
The only advice or recommendation given by Mr. Cobden
was to reduce the number of seamen employed. Instead
of 30,000 men employed in wooden ships there were only
9,000 ; and he would contend that whether you had iron
or wooden ships the number of men afloat could not be
much reduced. Be pointed out, from the very documents
which Mr. Cobden had used, that the Admiralty of 1858
was not really blamable for the course they took in the re-
coostruction of the navy, but would have been blamable if
they had sot taken steps to put our marine in an efficient
state. It would be most unwiee when there bad been got
together a magnificent body of seamen, to break it up, just
when the problem of meaning the navy was solved.
Sir J. PAKINOTON complained of the unexpected
attack which had been made on his administration of the
navy. As to the speech of Mr. Cobden, notwithstanding
his well-earned reputation, be would advise him to avoid
diecuesiog naval matters, as one of the things which he did
not undentand. All the statementa of the hon. gentleman
with regard to his administration of the Admiralty were
017.01160118. sod it was unjurt to charge that and subsequent
administrations with having built anima and obsolete ves-
sels of war.
Sir M. PESO said he would rather refer to the future
than to the past, for that was the question really before the
house. Some of the main points in the speech of his boo.
friend the member for Rochdale had received no reply. An
important report of Admiral Robinson, as to the iv-impera-
tive value of iron and wooden ships, had been placed in the
hands of government that morning. and he hoped that lion.
members would encoder It with attention. The noble lord
at the head of the government gave a pledge that the house
should have ample time to discuss this question, and con-
sidering the apprehensions justly entertained in consequence
of the experiments already made, he hoped that full time
for consideration would be given. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BENTINCK said if the object of the bon. member
for Rochdale was to reverse the vote already passed for the
number of wee. he trusted the house would not listen to
• soggeetios which was armies, impolitic, unpopular, and
which would, if adopted, prose • source of increased expen-
pesditure.
Mn. BERKELEY expressed his belief that the
number of men voted for the navy was sot greater than was
seeeirs
C,S WOOD sail be beli-vad the hon, member for
Rochdale had fallen into mistakes with respect to naval
matters.
Mr. LAIRD considered the etatement just mule as to
the non ships having proved theinaelvr s able to stand all
weathers mm'. .itisfactim7. A very important document,
signed by Admiral it,ibieson, had been delivered to hon.
members that morning, and he hoped to hear • renewal of
the pledge given by the noble lord at the bead of the go-
vernment a few evenings sines, that • special day would be
set &tart for the discussion of this very important subject.
Sir 0. WOOD said that the pledge given by the noble
viscount would be strictly observed. No step would be
taken until the subject had been telly discussed by the
bowie. (Hear. bear.)
The motion was then agreed to, and the house accord-
ingly went into committee of

Mr. Serjeant Ha'Undo° and Mr. Kelly for the plaintiff ;
Mr. Cleasby, Q.C., and Mr. R. C. Turner, for the de•
fondants.
This suit was one to determine the validity of a will made
by Mr. Thomas Murrilts, late of Redo. Essex, on the 27th
of July, 1859. The testator died at the age of 65, oa the
29th of the same month, leaving property to about 7,000 f.,
the balk of which he had bequeathed to his second wife.
He had a:premed a wish to make a testamentary disposition
of his estate, but when his attorney came to him on the 25t1t
he was in so lethargic a condition that nothing could be
done. He afterwards recovered so much, however. that
two days later the rector of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Tamer,
consented to draw up the instrument in question.
After Mr. Turner's evidence the defence was abandoned,
and the court pronounced for the will.

WESTERN CIRCIIIT.-WINCIIESTER, M.UICH 5.

(Before Mr. Barjaint Slue.)
A penal servitude convict, named Le,ix Franeix, 25 years
of age, was put upon his trial, charged with feloniously at-
tempting to kill and murder Omega Dean, at Portaea, on
the 19th December last.

Mr. koulden, with Mr. H. T. Cole, appeared for the
prosecution ; the prisoner, • resolute looking fellow? who
showed considerable assurance, defended himself, holding in
his hand a copy of the depositions ; during the trial be ap-
peared to be taking numerous memoranda on which be crate-
examined the witnesses.
The prosecution was instigated by the government, the
prisoner having committed a most violent and outrageous
attack upon of the officer of the convict establishment
whilst in the execution of his duty. The prisoner is an old
and hardened offender, and was last from Bermuda.
The jury found him Guilty of assault with intent to
wound, and he was sentenced to penal servitude for 20 years.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before Mr. Jostioa Williams.)

William Rigby, 24, greengrocer, was indicted for • cri •
mind assault on Elizabeth Maciartby.
Mr. Oppenheim prosecuted ; Mr. Collins conducted the
defence.
. _

It ap that the prisoner is • married man, with a
wife three children, hying in Gurney-street, 1, oplar ;
and the promentriz, a girl of 19 years of age, was their
domestic servant ; and the assault was alleged by her to
have been committed on Sunday, the Bth February last,
during the absence of the prisoner's wife, and after the
children bad been put to bed. The details were utterly
unfit for publication ; and after a very disgusting inquiry,
The jury, after a few momenta' consultation, returned a
verdiot of Not Guilty.
James Kingston, 19, gsafitter, was indicted for bur-
slarionaly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Edward George Chapman on the 12th February, with in-
tent to steal therein.

Mr. Grantham conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was not defended by oouriseL
The prosecutor is the landlord of the Buck's Heed
Tavern, Stucley.terraoe, Hampstead-road, and it appeared
that in consequence of • previous attempt to break into his
promises the police were on the alert, and on the morning
of the 12th February, about four o'clock, the attention of
two active officers named King and Woolnoth was attracted
by the sound of the smashing of glass in the rear of the
premises. One of them called up the landlord, while the
other kept watch at the bar ; and while doing so he saw the
prisoner come from the back door and hide himself
in the dust bin in the yard, where he was found
and taken into custody. On being searched there
were found upon him a piece of candle, •
quantity of inciter matches, six keys, and • pair of broken
scissors, which corresponded with marks found on the par-
lour window, which bad been forced. The interior of the
parlour bore evident mark' of • burgiarious visit, and
that the intruder had been disturbed in his operations by
the alarm given to the prosecutor by the police.
The prisoner protested his innocence of the charge, and
stated that being out of work he bad gone into the dust shed
to sleep, being without the means of laying for • bed.
The jury found him Guilty, but recommended Dim to
mercy.
Mr. Justice Williams sentenced him to be kept to hard
labour for one year.
Catherine llama, who on the previous day bad been
acquitted of the wilful murder of her child, but had bees
convicted of the minor offence of concealing the birth, was
brought up for jodgmeot.
Mr. Justice Williams said the court was ready to act
upon the recommendation to mercy with mhich the jury
bad accompanied their verdict, and the sentence war that
she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the space of
six weeks.
. . . . . .

John A !drill , 50, draper, whobad been convicted of having
unlawfully concealed and made away with his property after
he had been declared bankrupt on his own petition, with in-
tent to defraud his creditors, was also brought up for judg-
ment, sod sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for 15 calendar months.
NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)

William Goodland, who was convicted on Wednesday of
an attempted burglary, and of • violent assault upon a
police-constable, was again indicted for a burglary in the
dwelling-house of John Crowder, and stealing therein two
watches and 401. in gold coin.
Mr. Horny prosecuted, and Mr. Pater defended.
In this instance proof was given of the commission of the
burglary, and also of the fact that, when the prisoner was
apprehended on the previous charges. one of the watches
which had been stolen from Mr. Crowder's house was found
in his possession.
The jury found him Guilty.
The other prisoners, Crane and Laurette', who were con-
victed with Gondland yesterday, were then placed at the
bar with him to receive sentence.
Mr. Baron Bramwell, in a most impressive manner, ad-
dressing the prisoner Goodland, said it was utterly impel'e
Bible to allow • man like him to be loose upon society. The
offence of which he had been convicted yesterday was most
serious, cowardly, and brutal, and be could no more permit
a man like him to be at large than • ferociona animal, and
he should therefore order him to be kept in penal servitude
for 20 years. With regard to the other two prisoners, they
were both known to the polies, and on Crane he passed a
sentence of three years penal servitude, and on Laurence
18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.
Johan Maize, 53, stoker, was indicted for feloniously and
maliciously casting upon Helen Metre, his wife, • quantity
of sulphuric acid, with intent to burn her.
Mr. Morgan J. O'Connell prosecuted, and both parties
being Germans. the whole of the evidence had to be inter-
preted by M. Albert, the interpreter to this court.
The prisoner, it appeared, was a very desperate character, and
lived on very bad terms with, and had been separated from,
the prosecutrix, asserting that she was false to him. On the
day named in the indictment they met and were drinking
together at a public-house in St. George's-in-the-Fast, whets
some words ensued about a fur boa she was wearing at
the time. The prisoner immediately threw the sulphuric
acid over her, and she was so mush injured that she bad to
be taken to the hospital.
The prisoner in his defence said that the prosecutria
taunted him about the boa being the gift of one of her
paramours, and that he, without any intention to injure her,
had thrown the acid to destroy the fur.
The jury found him Guilty, and Mr. Baron Bramwell
sentenced him to live years' penal servitude.

The Lord Mayor said be thought it r4ht that be should
caution his fellow-cititeus and the public generally, and
recommend them not to carry money or any valuables about

through the City, which might be a temptation to dishonest
persons and bad characters who will be present from all the
provincial towns, for the purpose of picking pockets., and it
wee very desirable, upon such an occasion, that all tempts.
lion should be taken sway. His lordship further requested
that all she inhabitants in the line of the procession will
take particular care that the parapets of their houses are
made secure, in order to prevent the occurrence of accidents.
His Lordship added that be had received so large a
number of applications for sesta at the Mannion-house to
view the procemioe, that it was totally impossible to reply
by letter, and he trusted that the applicants would not
deem his silence an act of discourtesy on his part. The
amount of labour had beeu so much increased that at that
moment he had not received the tickets or the number of the
seats.

fifteen of which were passed at the Wandsworth and Ham-

PAINFUL CASE OF POISONING BY NITRIC ACID
—The following melancholy accident happened on Tuesday
afternoon to Mr. Thomas C. Stewart, one of the masters of
the Edinburgh Institution :—Mr. Stewart was engaged in •
small private laboratory preparing some chemical experi-
ments. He was aloes at the time ; and while he was carry-
ing • large vessel of nitric acid across the room, he acci-
dentally dropped and broke it. In endeavouring to save
some portion of the liquid, he appears to have
almost unconsciously inhaled some of the Tunas.
He left shortly after the occurrence, without any idea of
the injury he had received, and without feeling any beyond
the slightest inconvenience. But in the course of the even-
ing Mr. Stewart began to feel severe pains in the chest,
Medical aid was summoned, only to prove unavailieg, for
he sank rapidly, and expired shortly after two o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The janitor, whom he called into his
assistance, is lying dangerously ill. Both cases are, in the
opinion of the most eminent physicians, almost, if not quite,
without parallel.—Scoteman.
