MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two &Mom.
There is not much business going forward in the
mining market to-day, except in Wheal Ludcott
shares, which have again been largely dealt
in, and are now quoted 194 to 20, being
about 11. per share lower than yesterday. East Ca-
radon are list at 44 to ; and Macke Valley firm as
94 to f. WestTolgus are quoted 56 to 57, showing an
improvement; North Crotty, to 48 ; Wheal
tiny, 5 to I ; East Rosewarne, 21 to 3 ; /gait Cam
Brea, 16 to ; South Fluent', ito 4 ; Caradon
Vale, 5.1 to ; and Groat Wheal Fortune, 29 to }.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are very
quiet. St. John del Rey are marked ti.J, being
firm.
Mount Rose Copper Mining shares are quoted
to f prem. The subscription list will be finally
closed to-morrow (ThUraday.)
We are requested to state that the share list of
the Fortune Copper Mining Company of Western
Australia will be closed on Saturday next. This is
the first mining undertaking oonnauted with that
colony that has been established in the London
market. The mine is already in a dividenl-paying
condition.

At the Wheel Moyle meeting yesterday the ac-
counts made up to May elbowed a debit balance of
1,38 W. A call of be. per share was made, and pre-
liminary arrangements were entered into for con-
jointly working the adjacent Tiug-tang sett.

Lord WYNEGRD presented a petition from the parish of
St. James, V) ter, in favour of the bill as it stood.
The noble lord eala he did not agree with the prayer of the
petition. . .• '
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, in moving the second

Mrciunstmeeellis should not ham troubled their lordships
with any eliservatioos, and he only did so now in conse-
quence of thi most unfair manner in which his name hail
been paraded in the other house of parliament and before
the public, in connection with the embankment of the
Thames. (lielaVldear.) He was not going to make any
opposition to the second reading of the bill, and he might
say that he had never offered any opposition to the scheme
for the embankment of the Thames. So far as regarded
the attacks ppm him in the ne he
cared not • Teething about them, or w ether they
were written by-egte party or another, or whether written
by a person in tbeiliabit of writing anonymous letters to
the papers or not • (Hear, hear.) He would further ob-
serve that he offered no obstructive opposition to the
passing of the MIL and he would admit that the question
of the embankmeet of the Thames was one of peat im-
portance to the public. and that the relief of the public
streets was also of. great importance, though he did not
agree with the manner in which it was proposed to be carried
out. When the question of passage from the City along the
Strand to the West-end was considered, it was a disgrace to
the metropolis that there were only three free bridges over
the river. If the other bridges bad been made tree the
traffic through*the City would have been greatly relieved.
and London would have been brought clone to Westminster.
For thu other homes arid himself he would repeat that they
never intended to offer any obatruction to the carrying out
of this great imnrovement as recommended by the com-
missioners. He *might have called the attention of the
house to the matter ' • but when he found that in the other
boom of parliament the decision of their select committee
had been overrated, and by a considerable majority it had
been settled that to the public neceasity all private
interests must give way, he hail nothing more
to do than to bow to that decision. (Hear, bear.) He
would only may that his observations before the select com-
mittee had _been misunderstood by the shorthand writer,
but that was the first opportunity he had had of offering any
explanation, and he thanked their lordships for having so
patiently listened to him. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of DERBY had always thought that the grad
merit of an embankment was that it should be
perfectly leveLdsut if be uodorstood anything of the plan
of this work, the read was to rise rapidly before it reached
the bridge, to • height, he believed, of no lea than 11 feet
—an elevation whiqh would render necemary the protection
of a retaiutig wall abutting on the river and against the
bridge, which he conceived would have a very disagreeable
effect. The HMO* of Commons, however. and her Majrety's
government haddeaided on adopting that plan, and he ap-
prehended that (heir lordships would not offer to it any
opposition. -Al thif swine time he was sure they would one
and all do jambe teo the temperate manner in which his
noble friend had come forward and stated not only that he
would offer no opposition to the scheme, but that he was
perfectly ready tarmake any sacrifice of his private inte-
rest to the public aonv.nience. (Hear, bear.) When
people looked hack at the whole of those proceediop
he thought they would see that his noble friend had had

his mOtiob.

Mr. COLLINS expressed • similar hope, considering Se
late period of the mission.
Mr. HAD/MILD asked the rams of those companies be
'kith the hoax. gentkman had referred ?
Mr. CORBETT said they were the Myth and Tyne, the
Great Western, the Latemshire and Yorkshire, the London
and North Western, the Manchester and Sheffield, the I
Mid/and, and the South Yorkshire Companies. He would
went to the suggestion of the right hon. gentleman.
The motion was accordingly withdrawn.
POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Sir G. BOWYER roes to move for • select committee to
inquire into the grievances alleged to exist and oomplained of
by persons employed in this department. Not only were the
Post-oflim servants underpaid but they were overworked. He
had no doubt that many of the complaints which were made
of inefficiency were really due to this cause. At the present
period of the session be would not press his motion for •
committee, bet early next year he would renew the subject.
There was °sly one other point which he wished to mention.
No one could deny the existence of very great discontent
in the Post-office. Why did it exist? There had been
already three government commisaions to inquire into
the muses of it. Then why did not the government publish
the report of the last commission ? There was as much dis-
content now in the department as ever, and he hoped the
right hon. gentleman would lay the report of the commis.
sloe on the table. The public had • ngbt to know what
' had been dope, and why other things had not been done.
Mr. COX seconded the motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
understood his bon. and learned friend did not intend to
press his motion, and he thought he had exercised
a wise discretion in so doing, for considering the lateness of
the session, it could not fad to be null and fatal so far as
his hoe. friend was concerned. At the sone time, if his
I hon. hired bad pressed the mollies, he (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) must have felt it his duty to offer to it the
most determined resistance, as being of • character most
dangerous, not only as respected the Post-office department,
but the whole public service. His hon. friend asked why
there was any discontent? His hon. friend could answer
that question better than any man in that hones. There
always would be discontent in • department where they could
lied gentlemen of ability sad character willing to take a parti-
san view of the case, and encouraging them to make higher
deemed@ for their labour. He could sot blame these men for
bang dincootented when they believed they were underpaid.
He bad no hope that his boo. friend would be influenced
by anything he (the Chancellor of Exchequer) could say:
but he hoped other hon. members would consider their re-
sponsibility when they lent the weight of their mfluenoe
to inflame the minds of those who were employed in the
public service. He was bound to say it would be impossible
far any government to conduct the public service if that
system were permitted. If they told these bodies of men,
who were so numerous as to constitute armies rather than
department', that they were underpaid, overworked, and
ill-used, it was more than could be expected from human
nature that they would not become discontented. His
honourable friend had complained that the Post-
office was kept up for the porpoise of public
revenue. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) thought it
was rather hard upon the public and u the department,
after the Post-office had sacrificed nearlythe whole of its
revenue (and he believed there never was • wiser measure
—(bear, peer)—or one which contributed more to the public
good), that it should be said that the Post -office bad been
kept up in soy extensive or exaggerated degree for the pur-
poets of revenue. His hon. friend had asked for the pro-
duction of the report of the commission. That report he
(the Chanoellor of the Exchequer) felt it would be inconsis-
tent with his duty to produce. In the year 1860, that ad-
mirable public servant, Sir Rowland Hill, perhaps the
most distinguished public servant that the British
public service could boast, in consequence of the heavy
burden and !melee), of bis labours, was stricken with dan-
gerous illness. In his absence this question arose, and it
became necessary to alibi the aid of other gentlemen from
the Post-ollice and the Treasury. They lent the govern-
ment their aid ; and it was found that these gentlemen did
not exaet:y concur in the measures which should be taken.
What, he would ask, dkl, the executive government exist
for, if not, io order that, having taken the advice of the
ablest men, they might upon their responsibility decide
upon the merits of the cam? That bad been done. The
Postmaster-General had oome to • decision which was
decededly liberal to the men. At first they were employed at
a salary of 20s. a week, with two suits of uniform, having
medical advice and attendance tree. From this they rose
to the class of letteroarriers with 30s. • week—still retain-
big their two suits of uniform, and the advantage of medical
attendance. Their pensions also became secure after a cer-
tain number of years. In estimating the pay of these men,
that of the ordinary Bntish labourer should be taken into
eoesideration. Why should his boo. friend not take up the
tees of the police? It might be said that half their lives
they spent in the streets at night, remising only 19s. •
week and upwards. From letter-carriers they be-
came sorters, with salaries of from 40s. to 50s.
• weak. In was the duty of the department
to see that they were not overworked; and he
believed, as • rule, this was sot the cue. There might he
an occasional temporary excess here and there. Then bis

Earl GRANiILI:E said nothing could be more straightfor-
ward and hoot amble than the way in which tits noble duke
had accepted the determination of the otter house, and ab-
stained from endangering a useful awl important public
measure by offering it any %.position. (Hear, hair.)

The bill was read a second time.
JAMAICA LOAN (SETTLEMENT) BILL

The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in moving the second read
ing of this bill, said that it was introduced to effect two
very important objects—one to provide a certain food by
wbmch measures of importance of a local character might be
carried into effete at the discretion of the governor, end
which it was often found extremely difficult to induce those
who had the command of the bosoms of Jamaica to carry
co—the other to render the position of the governor
independent of them who voted the supplies.

hon. friend said that auxiliary Inner-carriers were employed
at
at 10s. a wk. But his hoe. friend knew very well that
they were employed at this rate only for • few hours a day.
It his hoe, friend were at any future time to persevere with
his motioo, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was quite
reedy to enter into details, and to show that nothing could
be more unfortunate than for the house to accede to the
motion which his boo. friend had made. He trusted at any
rate that the House of Commons would not take this matter
into their own hands, but leave it with the executive go-
vernment ; and then, if they found the government to
blame, throw the hle,ne upon the executive. (Hear.)
Illr. 00X said it was no &Dower to the grievance to gay
that there were plenty of parlous ready to enter the Poet,
Mike. He believed that whilst the duties of the letter-
carriers had increased, their remuneration bad diminished.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE would appeal to his boo.
friend not to press the subject any further. It would be
better to leave the matter in the hands of the government.
With regard to the other point, tho amount of wages, it
required um, attention and revision. He thought that
when a man was raised to a higher class in the service he
should not be compelled to receive a lower eatery at the con-
meuement of the new service. (Hear.)
Sir G. BOWYER begged leave to withdraw bis motion.
According to the argument of the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, no grievance existed at all, and the right hon. gentle-
Mee made out that letter-carriers were the coat favoured
class of all public servants, and better paid than the Chan.
cellar of the Exchequer bin,self. There were, however,
grievances, or there would not have been a commission to
inquue into them. (Hear.)
The motion was withdrawn.
THE DISTItP IN LANCASHIRE.
Mr. VILLIEIIS then rose to ask leave to bring in a bill
in the terms indicated on the notice paper, viz., to enable
boards of guardians in certain counties in England to meet
any extraordinary demands for relief upon them. The
right how. gentleman said it was not with a view of any
immediate action that he asked the hones to legislate now,
nor did he wish to imply that the law was not perfectly
; adequate to meet the emergency which bad arisen. But it
seemed to him that in such • case it would, perhaps, be
wise to err on the side of excessive caution rather than to

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TVESDAY, JULY 22.
The house resumed st 6 o'clock.
GRANTS COOKING APPARATUS.

General LLNDSAY rose to move that it was tbe
opinion of the house that the services which Cap-
tain
Great bad rendered to the public by the economy
and improveineet which he had introduced into
the system of held and permanent cooking in the army, and
by his invention of the ambulatory cooking apparatus, were
entitled to recognition. He (General Lindsay) thon4he
that two-thirds of one year's ascertained saving'
in the consumption of fuel by the invention
would be a fair andliberal remuneration. He had no hesi-
tation ie assertiug,. en the pert or Captain Grant, that if the
system were carried out properly in the army there would
Tw a saving of 50.0001. a year. In the army that gallant
(Seer was lookefinpon as a great benefactor to the service.
and his ambulatory system, if adopted, would prove one of
the greatest blown, ever conferred by any man upon an
army in the field. (Hear, hear.)
Sir G. C. LEWIS said the motion was substantially one
for • grant of public money to Captain Grant, and if the
words of it left any doubt upon the point, it had bees en-
tirely removed by the epeech of tbe hon. and pliant mem-
ber. With regard to the expenses incurred by Captain
Grant by his invention, the boo. and gallant member had
stated that they were all reimbursed, sod therefore his
claim was now purely for remuneration. The boo. and'
gallant member not only made a claim for Captain Grant,
but he assured the amount, because he said the invention
would effect a saving of 50,0001. a year, and he suggested
that two-thirds of Abet amount would be a fair nonuser'.
tion. There wag however, a rule of the house
that it should receive no petition for • sum
of money, or proceed upon any resolution granting
money for the public service, except upon the recommend*.
tine of the crown.. There was another standing order to
the effect that the house should not proceed on any motion
for an sildreas to the crown, praying that any expense
should ho incurred or money granted, except in a committee
of the wholehouse. The present resolution, being moved
when the Speaker was in the chair, was, therefore, • vielatioe
of the standing orders, and he opposed: it upon that general
ground. With regard to the merits of the question,
Na far an be was informed by the documents to which he had
access, he was unable to discover any sufficient MOOR for
altering the decision of his predecessor at the Wee-Mlles,
which was farmed upon the report of Messrs. Kennedy and
Gnerrier. It wax, of course, competent for Captain Great to
dispute the fairness of die person■ who made the report, but
his cooking apparatus was tried at various camps and other
please, and a.'thoagb there was no prejudice amulet him and
it had received a fair trial, the result was sot such as to
induce the War Department to extend it any further,
or introduce it in places where it was not now used.
The house divided, when there appeared :

run the risk of causing inconvenience and disorder to ea ve
some little time sad trouble. He would call the attention
of the house to sows unquestionable facts, in order to jus-
tify his proceeding in this way at the present time. It
was beyond all dispute that large masses of people con-
nected with the manufacture of cotton had lost their

employment and bad become deatitnte, and that destitution
was more intense now than it had hitherto been. He

feared it most increase, for this country was not receiving
any of the raw material of cotton, and the stock which bad
been laid up in this country was diminishing very rapidly.
and the price wan enhancing. And it should be remarked
that the little cotton that had been retained in this country
was now being exported to other places on the coatineet.
It would be difficult to come to any other cnochuno• than
that the distrem moat increame, unless it could be shown that
the civil war in America was likely to cease. The bill pro-
posed to tiz • certain point beyond which the common fund
of the union should be charged for the perish. He believed
himself, from having carefully examined the returns of the
value of property is the different unlace, that they would
be quite sufficient to meet any difficulty which could miss
daring the approaching recess. It would he as well, how-
ever, to consider what might be the case if the union itself
became distressed from the pressure upon it. Nobody
would suggest that if • onion were in distress it should not
seek relief from the county itself. and therefore the simple
remedy if such a MIS should arise, would be to charge the
axons beyond the average expenditure incurred by the
I union upon the county rate. But with respect to Lance-
, shire, in considering this matter there was the objection
that there were • great many places not subject to the
county rate. At present, however, there ass machinery
which enabled them to reach the county entirely by placing
the charge upon all the county unions. There was such •
complete organisation and combination with the ended
board that there would be no difficulty at all in calling for
contributions from every union. The thing was easy
and complete, and he thought if the principle wan

Mr. COM:MT then rose, pursuant to notice, to call
attention to the number of boon during which engine-
drwers sod Bremen employed es railway@ are worked, and
to move that a select committee be appointed on the subject.
Mr. M. Glll.9oti mill hie hon. friend had correctly stated
that a deputation of engine drivers bad bees to the Board
of Tonle to complain of the tong bouts which they worked.
hut it did not appear from what had passed that the engine-
drivers as a elan were agreed as to the necessity of inter-
ference on the part of the government between their em-
ployers and them. There was a great deal of truth in what
his bon, friend had said ; hut he was informed by the rail-
way insp-cton that it rarely occurred— though sometimes
it did—that amid/eta anise from drivers working too long
bourn. There were no doubt cuss also in which signalmen,
from being too long on duty, fell asleep and neglected to per-
form their office. Still, if he ware to bold out any hope of

Colonel W. PATTEN said that hie right hon. friend
could not expect that hoe. members should be prepared to
express any very critical opinion upon this measure.
Be merely rose for the purpose of doting that
he was confident of the absolute necessity of the
case, and that the right honourable gentleman had not
exaggerated in one particular the prospect before them in
certain districts, and also that he was prepared to con-
sider, with great favour, any proposition of the govern-
ment for the relief of those dittricia. (Hear, hear.) He
trusted he might call upon the government to swept with
liberality any suggestions from hon. members who, in
consideration of the bill, might feel it their duty to take
a different view of the case to that expressed by his right
hon. friend.
Mr. BOUVERTE could not conceal from the house
that the change proposed by the bill was • most porten-
tous one, and be did not think Mr. Villiers had laid down
any ground for this departure from the recognised
law. He believed that the rate in the pound for the relief
of the poor in the districts where the pressure was prated
was not nearly so high as in many of those in the south of
Enka& He considered that the propoul for extending
the easy to the county was likely to invite profusion and
extravagance. The beet mode of meeting the emergency,
in his opinion, was to stand by the ancient

LMr. LIVOI made some observations.
Lord PALM ERSTON--I think the house has judged very
properly in abstainieg on this occasion from any discussion
upon the minute details of the bill announced by my right
hon. friend, but some mistake has arisen u to the nature of
the plan he has shadowed out. It is not intended, as the
hon. member who has just spoken supposes, to transfer the
burden from the ratepayers to others. On the orstray,
the measure of my right hon. Mood is of this eaten, tbst
where the burden may become so great in • narrow akabe of
ratepayers aa to exhaust their means, that burden are, be
distributed over • wider range of ratepayers. But, in any
case, the operation of the bill is aotifiDed to the two cows-
ties of Lancashire and Cheshire, which have been chiefly
benefited by that commercial and manufacturing prosperity
which unfortunately is at this moment checked and se
tarded. Nothing, I am sure, can be stronger than the &din
of admiration which prevails in this house and in every
part of the country at the manly fortitude dis-
played by the labouring classes under these unto-
ward circumstances. (Cheers.) And I think it
would have been • great neglect of duty on the part of her
Majesty's government if, knowing the great amount of dila-
tions which at present oxide, and foreseeing the coons of
events in August, which may not only continue that distress
but aggravate it in a very a• ble degree, we bad
allowed parliament to separate without proposing some
=insure to provide machinery for meeting the aggravated
distress. (Hear, hear.) If we bad allowed parliament to
separate, sad called it suddenly together in August, to do
that which might have been done before its rising, I think
we would have justly exposed ourselves to severe censure.
We have now proposed our plan, and we are quite ready
to hear anything which those acquainted with the
details of the matter may suggest, during the progress
of the bill, for or against that plan. We are not ready with
any particular scheme ; our satiety is to do that which, on
full consideratioe, may appear beet calculated to meet the
evil, and we shall be happy to hear suggestions from these
whose local knowledge entitles them to form an
opinion on the subject. Our wish is that the bill
should he read a second time on Thursday. It will
be printed and delivered to-morrow morning, and
a day may be fixed for going into committee which may
afford time for obtaining any information that may be re-
quired. We have uo wish to hurry on the measure, be-
cause that would defeat our own object ; and even if we
prolong oar sitting fora few days for the consideration of
the bill, I am quite sure the house will not grudge the time
it may speed for such a porpose. (Cheers.)
Mr. AYRTON said as the measure proceeded on • per.
centage of Erevan in the rates, and not on any fixed
amount of charge, he wished to know whether the right
hon. gentleman would lay before the house a tabular state-
ment with regard to the rata. in Lancashire and Cheshire,
to enable the house to judge of the probable effect of the
etheme in those counties ?
Mr. C. VILLIERS said • general return as to the poor-
rates was now before the house, but be did not possess any
information with respect to the expenditure in each par-
ticular place, which he presumed the hon. member required.

Eileen& It appeared that the serldorn was created by
King Richard and the find and only earl held the °Moe
of High Treasure; to that sovereign at the time when Hoary
of Lancaster waged war against him for the crown. The earl
was taken in arms against Henry, and was beheaded, but

IV., Approvieg of all that bad been dons in the achievement
of the crown by that monarch, and making good all the
acts performed to that end, did not operate as a general
attainder spinet those adherents of Richard who were exe-

claimant was now satisfactorily proved ; and another
question as to whether a grant of a peerage to
, a man and his heirs male szteeded to the heirs
of his body only or to his collateral heirs male ;
which latter, in the case of the Earl of Devon, was
held to be the law by their lordship' home. Their lord-

V. ILEPWORTEL—MCPWORTE o.

These are cross petitions, and the history of the litigation
has bean somewhat peculiar. Mr. Hepworth was a surgeon
in Gloomier, sad his wife a public wager. They hid been
married Dom years, and bad had two obildres. In a suit
brought by Gibson against his wife for a restitution of his
conjugal right., Mrs. Gibson had pleaded adultery, and Mrs.
Hepworth had hem examinedin open court. Mr. Hepworth
thereupon brought his snit, sod Mrs. Hepworth filed her re-
taliatory petition. She then obtained au order for 3411. a rear
se alimony pendent. lite ; and also an order that her hus-
band should pay Into court or secure the sem of 3001. to
satisfy the taxed mots of her attorney for defending her, and
4001. to meet the mists of her own action. Mr. Hepworth's
income being only about ISM., he was unable to obey either
requisition, End the result was, not only that his suit was
ordered to Mead over till the :ropey was forthcoming, but
his wife actually procured a writ of attachment against him
for not finding her means with which to pursue her petition
easiest hini. Upon this writ he was arrested ; is due course
he was made bankrupt, and on the 11th of March last he
obtained an order of discharge.

Dr. Wambey now applied to the court fora second attach-
ment, for uon.payment of the maintenance since the bank-

Mr. Hepworth, who appeared in person, being no longer
able to fee counsel, expressed a hope that the court would
take his care into it. kindest consideration. It was utterly
impossible for him to provide the enormous amount of 7001.,
which be bad been ordered to pay in or secure ; and it was,
therefore, impossible for him to even have his case heard.
He was utterly ruined, and a session injury had been in-
flicted on his children. 'l6e object of the present motion
was evidently to effect that in which this prosecution must
ultimately result unless the court interfered—namely, to
drive him from the country.
Sir C. Cromwell wee not so unfortunate as to be invested
with any such painful duty as that of exercising a die.
emotion. He must hold the husband discharged in bank-
ruptcy from all the debts that could have been proved against
him, including the alimony peodente lite. For the subse-
quent alimony there must be an attachment, with costs.
Mr. Hepworth wished to know whether he was discharged
of the alimony tip to the 11th of March
Sir C. Crerewell—You are discharged of all the alimony
that could have been proved as a debt against you. I cannot
tell how far that extends.

The Bee. Samuel Horatio Pleteker surreadered to his

Banton Savings Bank.
It will be remembered that Ithe prisoner, who was the
incumbent of St. Leonard's, Bilston, and a magistrate for
Staffordshire, was found guilty at the last assizes of de-
frauding the depositors of the Billiton Savings Bank, of
which he was treasurer and trustee, of several large sumo(

220 d, and 2004 on the 29th, all of the name meth ; with
1,0001. on the 25th of /Jacek, 1861. The whole sum
taken by him was, however, about 7,0001. Although
found guilty, be was not sentenced, because a legal point
was, whether or not he was a trustee. But that questioa
having been decided by the Court of Criminal Appeal in the
affirmative, he now came up to be awarded the punishment
that was allotted him by the judge before whom be was
tried.

Peter's to Miss O'Bryan he repeatedly saw Catherine Ce
in the streets., and attach* no value to her marriage
been sought him, or required anythirg of him, although hie
marriage with Miss O'Bryan had been published in the news-
papers, and must have been well known to her. The
question having been raised in one of the courts of law, it
had been determined by the authorities that marriages like
the one spoken of were valid. The writer said he had seen
Catherine Creagh in Cork as late as 1855.
Prisoner said that these letters were dated from Wool.
with, and be never was there.
Mr. Lewis intimated that Catharine Creagh was alive
now, and bad givea etrieleace • few days ego in the Court of
Chancery respecting acme property traninetioes.
Prisoner said that • woman had
been brought from In-
land anieinly.
Mr. Miller, on bong ereas-szamined by the prisoner, said
that shout the trine the letters were received there was
some treaty dint the raising of some money ; the objecting'
`that the settlement should be set aside. He was about to
lend Mae O'Brian some money, and be wanted to be satis-
fied on some potato relating to the prisoner.
A penny in one of the letters purporting to be writ-
ten by the prisoner was pointed out as showing that he well
knew his first wife to be alive at the time of his marriage
with Min O'Brian. It stated that Catherine Creel& re-
sided at Ciro is 1844 ; that she continued to live there, end
that be repeatedly saw her.

single ensue, mid that she was married on the 29th Jun,
1844, to the primmer.
This wan the evidence in support of the first bigamy, and
the second was now proceeded with.
Mr. Lewis proposed that the evidence of the first mar-
riage should be copied spas the depositions in this men, and

Dr. John O'Bryaa proved that the name of lirCarthy
was prisoner's handwriting.
Mies O'Brysn said that Emily Verliog unfortunately
resided in the same house with herself and husband. Prisoner
and Maas Veiling left the house together.
It wee stated that Miss Veeliog, lading she had been de-
ceived, left the prisoner and went abroad.
Mr. Arnold asked what inidases there was to show that
in 1852 prisoner knew his first wife war alive.
Mr. Lewis said that the letter proved that be knew she
was alive after 1854.
Mr. Arnold pointed out that he might have become
entwined with that fact in 1854, but might have been
ignorant of it ia 1852.
A certificate was now produced in the third as whisk

Mr. Arnold observed that the question in this case would
spin arise whether in 1852 the prisoner knew that his fist
wade was tn.
Mies 0' ryas was again celled to supply the proof
required, and her brother was also put into the witness-box
to give secondary evidence of the contents of a letter
written by the prisoner, which bad been destroyed. It was
addressed to Dr. CYBryan, and was written after his con-
nexion with Miss Veiling, and stated that he had
left his (Dr. ()Bryn's) sister because she was not hie
wife ; that in 1839 he was married to Catherine Creagh,

NORFOLK CIRCIIIT.—HininsOOON, JuLy 22.
The judges arrived yesterday, and the 00MIlli1S1011 was
opened by the Lord Chief Janine Cockburn.
There are three causes and seven prisoners for trial.
There are three cases of arson contained in this smell
calendar.

Mr. Justice Wightman sat in the Nisi Priva Court. The
first cacao tried was an cation for seduction, and before a
special jun.
CHOWN COURT.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.)
Win. Mitchell, a little fellow in a smockdrock, eight years
of age, whose head saircely reached above the front of the
bar, was charged with setting fire to a. outbuilding, the
=arty of John Holloway, at Ferret, on the 14th of April

Mr. Markby was fur the prosecution.
The learned gentleman, in opening the case,
sated shortly the facts, which were that this child
and his sister were playing with some matches,
and eat fire to the thatch. Another child at
once gave an alarm, and the fire was put out before any
mischief was done. The little fellow who had caused it
beganito cry, and et once told him howfit was done.
Hie lordship having beard these facts thought, although
the prisoner was over seven years of age, and so capable at
law of committing • crime, there was nothing to show that
be waa actuated by any malice, or even knew the nature
or consequeocee of such an act as he had committed.
The jury, DO evidence being offered, Acquitted the'
primme.
WiUironi Mole was charged with wilfully setting fire to •
granary, the property of Hoary Curtis, at Warboys on the
17th March, 1862.
Mr. Serjeant Toner sad Mr. Douglas Brown were for the
prosecution ; Mr. MetaJfe defended the prisoner.
This fire occurred In the morning of the 17th March, and
the evidence against the prisoner was very slight. It was
said he made an excessive claim from the fire-office, and it
seemed he had several times advised his neighbour, • police-
man (whose house was burnt at this fire), whose property
was uninsured, to insure it. The fire-office would not pro-
secute him, and the chief sufferer from the fire, • farmer,
whose granaries, &c., were destroyed, In the crams of hie
evidence said be believed the prisoner was the last person in
the world likely to be guilty of such an act.
Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury, and his Lordship having
summed up, they at once Acquitted the prisoner.
The grand jury ignored the bill in the other case of arson,
and an unimportant case finished the criminal business of
the assizes.

Mr. Arnold said that this evidence was not against the
primmer, but in his favour.
W. Lewis applied to have the depositions copied up for
prionser's committal on all the charges, and asked for a
remand for witneeses from Ireland.
Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner for a week, but said
that at resent he could only commit upon the first charge,
as the others were not proved.
LAMBETH.
Alfred Murray and John Griffith., two stalwart young
men, were placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate,
the Bon. G. C. Norton, charged with the cumndesion of a
highway robbery with violence.
Mr. Arthur Chandler, solicitor, residing at No. 22, Lam-
betb-terrece, deposed that on Sunday night last be was re-
turning home after seeing a friend off by an maim from
the Westminster-road at about half-part 11 o'clock, and had
proceeded pest the residence of the clerk of the pease for
Surrey, when he was suddenly pounced upon by three men,
one uf whom seized him frosts behind by the throat with
both hands, compressing the windpipe with so meek violence
and severity that he (witness) almost became insensible. At
all eveuta, be lost his breath for some wood; bet still he
was perfectly conscious of what followed. A second man
came to front of him, and seized and possessed himself of his
(witness's) gold watch and chain, of the value of about 12/. or
15/. The third mau stood by as if looking out to prevent his
companions being intelfered with. After the robbery was ef-
fatted the perpetrators throw him with great violence on to the
ground, but went away without attempting to touch or rile
his_pockete, and he saw them run oil together down China-
wal exactly opposite to where the robbery had been com-
mitted. The witness positively identified Murray as the
man who seised him by the throat, but was unable to
identify the other prisoner' or to describe the third man.
When his assailants left him witness raised himself from
the ground, but did not follow the men, bsestute observing
soother man with a woman standing together at the corner
of Chiea.walk, and supposiog them to form part of the same
gang, be feared a second attack if he did so.
Mr. Norton remarked that it was to be regretted that the
prosecutor lied not followed the men, as bad he done so
there was every probability that all three would have been
secured at once.
Inspector Young said there was no doubt if the men bad
been promptly pursued, they would have been taken ori the
spot, as there was as abundance of police constables on
duty in that locality.
Thomas Macaulay. 269 A, deposed that on Sunday even-
ing, at 25 minutes to 12 o'clock, he was standing at the
corner of Brooketreek Kenningtoo-road, when he saw three
men running across the road from St. Allan's-street, into
which China-walk leads. They posed close to him, and he
was confident that Murray was one of them. The wh-
ose& followed the men down Brook-street. at the bottom of
which, owing to the darkness, he lost sight of them, but dis-
tinctly heard their footsteps running across West-square. '
On the following night be saw both the prisoners standing
together at the Obdisk, at the end of the Loudon-road,
when they were taken into custody.
William Clear, 91 L, deposed that on Monday last he
watched the two prisoners, who were loitering together in
the neighbourhood of the London-road, from five o'clock is
the afternoon until pest oes o'clock, when they were joined
by another man and three females. When he sad the
last witness came up he saw the group standing close toge-
ther, as if they were dividing money amongst each other.
When accosted, the prisoner Griffiths said he was looking
among his money fora penny to pay for a half-pint of
beer. The two prisoners were then secured and conveyed to
the Toweretreet station, where the prisoner Murray was
afterwards fully identified by the prosecuter as one of the
men who had robbed him oo the preceding Sunday even*.
The witness added that Murray bad already been convicted
of felony, and was the constant companion of the worst of
thieves. It was also proved that the other prisoner, Grif-
fiths, had been previously convicted of felony.
Both prisoners declared their innocence, and were re-
manded for further inquiries.
