Mr. HILDYARD moved that the yetitinn of inhabitants
of Wilts, Somerset, and Dorset, and the proprietors of Imad,
complaining of the non-execution of certain lines of railway
authorised to he constructed under the set■ of the Great
Western and Bristol sod Exeter Railway Companies, and
praying for redress [presented 25th February last], be re.
ferred to the Committee on Group NN, to whom the Devon
and Dorset Railway Bill stands relined ; and that it be an
instractien to the committee, if they shall se think fit, to
hear the petitioners, by their counsel, agents, and wit-
nesses, upon the said petition, against the said bill.
After a disenssion, in which S:r T. D. Acland, Mr. G.
Butt, Mr. Divett, and Mr. D. Denison joined,
Mr. CARDWELL said he hoped the motion would be
agreed to. The view of the Board of Trade was, that on a
matter of this kind a mere technicality should not intercept
the expression of a general public opinion.

THZ TURKISH QUESTION.

Mr. LAYARD said he wished to put a question of which
he had given notice to the noble lord the member for the
City of London. An announcement bad appeared in
the Moniteur, the official organ of the French government,
that Mons. de Lacour, the French ambassador at Constan-
tinople, had received instructions to call on the French
fleet, if necessary: that similar instructions hid been sent
to Lord Stratford di Redcliffe, our ambassador at Constan-
tinople; and that the two fleets had proceeded towards the
Dardanelln. He asked the noble lord whether that was
the fact, sad whether the fleets of France and England
hall, according to the announcement, proceeded to any
_ _ _ _

point near the Dardanelles, as near, in point of fact, its
they could approach by existing treaties ?
Lard J. RUSSELL said he had to Mate, in answer to the
question, that the announcement in the Manilasr was per-

fectly correct, and that orders had been given to the effect
stated in the 3faHileur. Since those orders were given, they
had not received any account of the English fleet having
left Malta, or of the French fleet having left Salamis.
Mr. DISRAELI inquired whether the orders were given
to the admiral at Malta or to the British ambassador at
Constantinople ?
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that orders were sent to the
British ambassador at Constantinople, giving him power,
under eertain limitations, to call up the British fleet.
Directions were likevese sent to the British admiral at
Malta, by a different course, ordering him to proceed to
Bailie Bay.

Mr. DISRAELI asked what was the date of the orders?

Lard J. RUSSELL said be was now only speaking from
memory, but be thought the despatches t 3 Lord Stratford
de Redeliffe were sent on the 31st of May, and the instruc-
tions to the admiral were devatched from this country on
the Lt or 2nd of Jene—he believed the 2nd.

the lapse of two minutes as the Speaker, or a chairman of
• committee of the whole house, shall think proper to
direct."

Lord STANLEY gave notice, that on the motion for the
second reading of the India Bill, he would move, " that in
the opinion of this house, further information is necessary
to enable parliament to legislate with advantage for the

the 111111111100 it is inexpedient to proceed with a measure which.
while it disturbs eliding arrangements, cannot be con.
sidered as a final settlement." (Cheers.)

BRITISH SUBJECTS AT SOUTH CAROLINA.

Mr. FRENCH, pursuant to notice, called attention to
the habitual imprisonment of shipwrecked sailors and
others, British subjects, being persons of colour, by the
authorities of South Carolina ; and ho moved for papers,
being the correspondence between the British end the
United States governments, on the subject.. The prac-
tice was in direct contravention of treaties between Great
Britain and the United States, and was, further. against
the law of nations. (Hear, hear.) Be hoped that a
wiser Foley would soon be adopted on this question by
South Carolina; and if the interventioa of the
federal government was not practieable, the pro-
tests of the 11130111 civilised world should sullies.
(Rene, hear.) What in South Carolina was asked to
be done Louisiana had already done! %nit in order to have
what was tlesieed to be acoompliehtd, 4uslish captains anti

masters and owners would willingly euTmlit otirolsted
ngulatione. The United States government vas ten.lin% %
squadron to Japan simply because Ateerimn 'allots ships
*react' on the Japanese coast were improperly treated;
and at the present period, therefore, h.. did not see what
ground the South Carolina government conlJ have for not
doing away with the present odious system. (Heat)
The motion was agreed to.
The house adjourned at a quarter before 2 o'clock.

MIDDLEBEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY.

The June general sessions of the peace for the county of
Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions House,
Clerkenwell, before Mn Witham, deputy assistant judge.
The calendar contains the names of 80 prisoners for trial-
-69 for felony and 11 for misdemeanor.
Mr. Witham briefly charged the grand jury.
John Allen, 40,'Eind George Silrester, 25, were indicted
for having stolen a sack, value Is. Gd., and 3 bushels of oats,
the property of William Hatch, their master.
The prosecutor was a farmer at Hauworth ; and it ap-
peared that on the 31st of May he received information from
his sister that a sack of oats was concealed in a suspicious
manner under some strow in the stable ; and, having found
that this was so, be set a constable to watch, to see who took
it away. At half-past 2 o'clock on the following morning
the prisoners took the sack away in a waggon, and when
questioned as to what they bad got, they declared they had
only a hit of hay for their hones.
The j ury found them Gusity
The prosecutor said the prisoner Allen bad been in his
service all his life, and had always borne the character of a
good, sober, industrious, and honest man; he had a wife
and eight children, and he wished strongly to recommend
him to mercy. Silvester had been in hie employ but a few
months.
Sentence was deferred.

Thomas Lee, 28, was indicted for stealing a pone contain-
ing four half sovereigns, and other monies, from the person
of John Brown.

-.-
The prisoner and the prosecutor were extra labourers at
the West India Dock, and on the 10th inst., they were
there waiting to be called. The prisoner, it seemed, cut.the
prosecutor's pocket with a knife, and abstracted therefrom
his purse, containing all he possessed in the world, four half
sovereigns, two half crowns, sad some copper money. The
prxsecutor himself detected this, accused him of the theft,
and gave him into the custody of one of the doektonstables.
The prisoner dropped the purse from his hand.
The Jury found him Guilty.
Mr. Witham said this was a very cruel robbery, and he
should put an additional three months to the sentence. He
then ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for nine
calendar months._

THE QVIEN V CHARLES ROOM.

This defendant wu convicted, it may be remembered, a
session or two ago of indecently exposing himself in an om-
nibus, and a question u to whether an omnibus was a pub-
lic place wain:. the meaning of the act of parliament
was reserved for the Court of Criminal Appeal. Judgment
having been given in that court against the prisoner he was
now brought up to receive sentence.

having made some vary severe observations on the pri-
soner's conduct. sentenced him to one year's hard labour.

CITY POLICE.

Sit DEL. EVANSw isit• to uk the noble lord the
member for the City of London whether, in the commission
of inquiry regarding the state of the corporation of Lon-
don, there will be any objection to direct an investigation
into the working of the City police acting under the cor-
poration, with a view (without derogating from the present
excellent administration of that force) to a consideration of
. .

the advantages of consolidating the whole of the metropoli•
tan police under one managemeat ; also, whether that com-
mis,ion is to be appointed by act of parliament so as to
enable it to pursue, with adequate power, its inquiries ; and
whether there he any objection to add to its duties a like
inquiry into the corporation of the adjoining city of West-
minster.

Lord J. RUSSELL said there could lie no objection to
etch an inquiry, as it was desirable that the working of the
City police under the existing act should ha ascertained.
With regard to the second question, he had to state that
the corporation of the City of London hail expressed their
willingness to give every assistance to the inquiry, auJ
under these circumstances it would not be necessary to in-
troduce a bill into parliament for the purpose of the inquiry.
With regard to the hot question, he had to state that the
governing nt did not think it advisable that the inquiry
should extend to the city of Westminstir.

teem the Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, against the treaty of

grown of Denmark; and if so, whether there will be an/
objection to lay thist document on the table of the house.
Lord I. RUSSELL said n protest had been received by
the government, bat the subject required further consi-
deration before he could lay it on the table of the house.

THIS DAY—Two o'CLocx.

Discussions on the budget have ;;;;;ined serious
attention to-day, almost to the exclusion of other
business. Whilst opinions, however, naturally vary,
there is yet a disposition to await the expression of
the verdict to be pronounced by the various
branches of our great commercial community,
into many of which great changes will be
introduced, should the government proposal
be carried in i•s entirety. So far BR the stuck mar-
kets arc concerned, the effect of Mr. Gladstone's
speech has been the reverse of satisfactory, parties who
had bought or held on in the anticipation of a pecu-
liarly favourable statement of the balance-sheet and
sacral financial position of the nation feeling some
degree of disappointment. Sales have been pressed,
and the funds have fallen a quarter per cent., al-
though the market cannot be pronounced weak.
Consuls opened at yesterday's advanced rated., but

COCKERMOUTH.

The earlier part of the proceedings of this com-
mittee yesterday was occupied in the reception of evidence
which resulted in a decision from the committee to the
effect that a prima fame cue of agency had been made out
against Senhouse, but not as against Hoary.
Henry Alison, a voter and confectioner, was then
examined—Voted for Wyodham, and deposed that he gave
that vote on condition of his son obtaining a situation in the
General Pust•otfice. Witness's son went up to the Castle,
General Wyndham's residence, and got some clothes and a
letter to the Secretary of the Post-office, and afterwards, on
going to London, his son obtained a situation in the Post-
office, at 230. a week. A letter on the subject was brought to
witness's house by Senhouse shortly before the election, and
Rowlands told witness he wou'd fit his son oat.
This was the chief me proved, aad, at four o'clock, the
committee adjourned to this day.

NEW ZEALAND.

Mr. 11. BAILEY asked Sir W. Molesworth whether he
intended this session to bring forward the charge which he
made last session against the New Zealand Company ?
Sir W. MOLESWOIITH said the charge which he
brought before the house with regard to New Zealand was
founded on certain papers which he moved should be laid
before the house. Those papers bad been printed and laid
before the house. They stated all the facts of the case
accurately, arid therefore there was no necessity whatever
fur further inquiry.

TIIEEDUCATION BILL.

Mr. PETO asked Lori .1. Russell if it is the intention of
the government to proceed with the second feuding of the
Education Dill, pending the inquiry now proceeding in a
committee specially appointed by the house to inquire into
the subject, on the introduction of the Manchester and Sal-
ford Education Bill.
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was net the intention of r-
vernment to bring on the second reading of the Education
Bill till after Whitsuntide, and when they did proceed with
that bill, the bill for Charitable Trusts should likewise be on
the table of the house. lie trusted that by the time the se-
cond reading was to be moved, the inquiries respecting
Manchester and Salford would be concluded.
INCLOSURE OF WASTE LANDS IN DENBIGH.
Mr. WIIALLEY asked the Secretary of the Treasury,
whether there is any and what objection to give consent on
the part of her Majesty (who is lady of the manor), to the
inclosure of the waste lands in the parish of Ruabon, in
the county of Denbigh, the proceedings In such inclosure
having been commenced upwards of two years since. end
having been delayed by the refusal hitherto to give a defi-
nite answer whether such consent would be given or not ?
Mr. WILSON replied, that the reason why government
had not been able to advise her Majesty to give the consent
of the crown to the inclosure referred to war, that at the time
the application was made, negotiations were on trot with
Sir Watkins Wynn, and the advisers of the crown conceived
that they were not at liberty to act.

THE LAW OF SETTLENIENT.

Mr. A. \VISE asked Lord John Russell whether it is
the intention of her Wieldy's government to introduce,
either in this or the neat session of parliament, any mea-
sures to abolish or revise the laws relating to the settlement
and removal of the poor, or to alter the present mode of
raising the rates for the relit f of the poor, by distributing
the charge over a wider and less variable basis, or otherwise.
Secondly, if her Majesty's government are not prepored to
propose early legislation on these suhjects, whether Lord
John Russell will assent to the appointment of a committee
to inquire into the practical epetation of the laws for the re-
lief of the poor in England and Wales, and to consider the
policy and general effect of all the laws relating to settle-
meet, removal, and parochial assessment?
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that government were of
opinion there would not be sufficient time to discuss a
measure for the revision of the law of settlement during
the present session, and, therefore, it would not be desirable
to introduce it. At the same time he begged to state, that
a measure comprehending a complete revision had been
prepared, and would in all probability be introduced neat
session. With regard to the second question, all he had to
state was that the inquiry, conducted under Mr. Charles
liuller's committee, was very c implete, and that the go-
vernment did not intend to appoint a select committee on
the su'.ject.

ITALY.

The Sardinian government publishes, in the official
journal, a memorandum upon the differences with
Austria on the subject of the sequestrations. The
application of this measure to Sardinian subjects is
declared to be a serious violation of rights, on which
the Sardinian government appeals to the conscience
of the Viennn. cabinet when better informed, and
invokes the good offices of friendly and allied
sovereigns.

FATE OF MR. BENJAMIN BOYD.
Mr. M. MILNEB asked the Secretary of the Admiralty
whether, in consequence of any instructions issued to Sir
Evened Home, of her Majesty's ship Calliope, with a view
to nwertain the fate of Mr. Benjamin Boyd, that officer had
transmitted any report un the subject to the Admiralty, in
connexion with his recent cruise amongst the .outh Sea
Island+, from which be wets understood to have returned to
Sydney on the 19th of Deeemlxv last; also, whether any
report had been received from the officer in command of
the China station on the same subject ?
Mr. B. OSBORNE s eid the Calliope left Sydney on the
22nd of July last, but no report had been r:ce iced as to the
success of her mission. The Serpent had also been ordered
to leave liong-Kong on the some service, which she did
he believed on the 9th Nov. last. No report had yet
been received respecting her. Ile had also to state that

COI vac E.

.....
Mr. DIVETT asked the Secretary to the Treasury whe-
ther arrangements were in progress for giving a better
supply of small coin ?
Mr. WILSON s .id the inconvenience which had arisen,
and which still existed, with regard to the mintage of this
country he admitted was of the highest importance. They
had complaints every day of serious inconvenience by
backers and merchants from every part of the country.
But when he informed the house that two years ago the
Itighst amount of coin that could possibly be turned
out of the mint was 210,000/. a week, and that
by the extraordinary exertions of thou by whom
the Mint was conducted, the present out-turn was
now up wards of 600,000/. weekly, he thought that
Istatemeut would show the house that whatever inconveni-
ence might be suffered by the public, the authorities con-
nected with the Mint bed not been lacking in their duty.
During the first three months of the present year there had
been no less en amount coined titan 4,31'40001. in gold, and
92,0001. in silver, and the whole number of coins including
silver and gold turned out of the Mint for three months of
the present year was 6,000,100. It appeared to hint that
this accelerated rate was quite inadequate to the present
demand. The demand for the last days at the Bank of
England had been equal to 100,0001. of coined gold per thy,
which it was utterly Impossible for the Mint at the present
moment to tura out, and therefore what they were to do
with regard to silver unless same cessation of the demand
fey silver took place he did not know. With regard to half-
sovereios, it was obvious that the number of coins was two
to one, and the difficulty was increased by having half-
sovereigns. The Master of the Mint's attention w•-ti di-
rected to the su' ject, and if nothing else would do they
would work day and night, but then the difficulty would
be to get the metal assayed.
Mr. DISRAELI asked if the report of the Muter of the
Mint had been laid on the table.

Mr. WILSON said there was no report from the Master
of the Mint on the subject, but if the right hon. gentleman
would move for a report it should be laid ea the table.
There had been a paper moved for already as to the amount
of coikage in the last three months, which would be pre-
sented that evening.
Mr. DISRAELI observed that if there was no report it
was impossible for him to move for it.
Mr. DIVETT asked whether any project had been die-
cussed as to the expediency of coining quarter sovereigns.
Mr. WILSON replied that that had been discussed, and
it had had their attention so far that he had requested the
Master of the Mint to have a sic cut, in order to make the
experiment. There were a variety of reasons against it,
snd there were a great many reasous for it. There was an
American gold dollar issued lately, which would perhaps
not he an adequate reason against it, but the great reason
was that every pound required four coins, and the labour,
therefore, of coining quarter sovereigns would be qua-
drupled, as compared with coiaing sovereigns.

GERMANY.

Private letters from Vienna mention as a rumour
generally accredited there that the Austrian govern-
ment contemplates bringing out another loan.
A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, April 17,
states that the Emperor sends& commission, presided
over by Count Rechberg, to inquire into the state
of the Lombardo-Venet&n kingdom, and report on
the best form of administration to be established
there. General Benedeck is to be one of the mem-
bers of the commission.
London, England, 1853-04-19

DENMARK.

Letters from Kiel correct the telegraphic account
ea the faith of which it has been asserted that the
Danish Diet had approved the royal oresssge on a
third deliberation. On the contrary, the success of
the present ministers appeared very problematical on
the 15th, when the third deliberation was to I

TURKEY.

A telegraphic message of an alarmist character, and
dated Constantinople, April 4, reached London yes-
terday via Germany. The Marseilles telegraph,
resuming the intelligence two days later brought
by French boat from Constantino*, to the effect
that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had re-assured the
English at Constantinople as to the maintenance of
peace, divests the German telegraph of any claim to
importance.

THE LEAGUE ESEATS, AND DISSOLUTION OF THAT
Bour.—Boon after the resuscitation of the Anti-Corn Law
League, the council of that body offered prises of
50/. and 1501. for the best essays "On the re-
sults of the repeal of the Corn-laws and the Free-
trade policy upon the moral, the 'mild, the cornmer:
nisi and political interests of the United Kingdom."
A gnat number of competitors offered, and at the solicita-
tion of a portion of tbem,the time was extended from the Ist
January to the lit March, and their essays being all now
it the hands of the council for adjudication, they have ap-
pointed the following gentlemen ac a committee to award
the primes :—Messrs Henry Ashworth. Thomas Thomasson,

THAMES.

Mr. Bradley, ■ master-lighterman, complained that a
youug men in his employ while passing over a vessel
called the Lockett, in St. Katharine's Dock, had been
attacked by a ferocious dog, which fastened on the lower
part of his face and dragged away the lower lip and part
of his chin. He inquired if he could not make the captain,
to whom the dog bclonle t, responsible to that court. The
young man was paisley over the ship, as lurhtermen are
comp( lied to do, in the prosecution of their duties.
Mr. Yardley said that if the drg had been at large on
shore, he could have dealt with the case; as it wee, the
Injured party must seek redrew in the County Court.

HOLLAND.

Considerable sensation has been occasioned at
the Hague by the announcement that Baron de
Mahoz, the Russian minister plenipotentiary, is
about to leave to pass the summer in the Rhenish
provinces. This is looked upon as a quasi recall.
The baron is a Roman catholic, and has made him-
self disagreeable to the King of Holland by his un-
di-guiscd disapproval of the measures taken for re-
sisting papal encroachments.
