LONDO.V,SATU.RDAY, APRIL 15.

. _
Di the Hou.qx of LORDS yesterday Lord STAN-
LEY concluukd a speech of parliamentary details
by moving fur leave to bring in a bill for the better
conducting the public business of both house's.
The alteration he contemplated in the existing system
was, to grant to either house the power, upon the re-
ceipt of any bill from the other, and precious to the
reference of that hill to a committee, to adjourn the
consideration of the measure from a period of the
session at which it could not be deliberately discussed,
to an early day to be named in the next session of
Parliament, cud that the house should be at liberty
to proceed with the bill as if it had been sent up
from the other house as a measure of the existing
session. Such a proposition, he thought, would secure
employment at the commencement of the session, and

OLD COURT.—Refore the Recorder.
BRUTAL ASSLI:LT ON POLICE.CONSTABLES.—Charks
Empy, 23, smith, and Alexander Pickett, 20. labourer, were
indicted for wounding Thomas Picket, a police cons; able.—
On the 21st March, about one o'clock in the morning,
Picket was on duty in the Holloway-road, when he observed
the prisoners and about 20 other persons standing ou,Ride a
public-house, shouting, swearing, and making a great disturb-
ance. He requested them to desist They persisted in their
violent conduct. He interfered, led was attacked in a mat
savage manner, knocked down, kicked, and jumped upon
while lying on the ground. He at length got away from his
assailants, and shortly afterwards met another constable
named Wilson, who attempted to take two of the party into
custody. The prisoner Empy upon this exclaimed,
" Now for a rescue," and the mob instantly attacked the po-
liceman, and he was knocked down, kicked, and
jumped upon as the other had been, his staff taken from
him, and Picket, the constable who had been injured in the
first instance, was knocked down and again kicked and ill-
treated. During this proceeding the mat savage threats
were made use of toward% the police ; they were pelted with
atones, and in addition to the other injuries received by the
present proaecutor he was struck by a gone on the eyelid,
which cut it completely open, and he was unable to perform
any duty fora fortnight. —The counsel for the prisoners
commented upon the absence of any direct proof that the
hand of either of them had caused the injury to the prose-
cutor, and they contended that at all events they ought not
to be convicted of • greater offence than an assault —The
Recorder summed up, and the jury immediately found the
prisoners Gladly of feloniously assaulting the prosecutor,
with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. —Mr. Bodkin,
who prosecuted, said that some inhabitants of the neighbour-
hood, totally unconnected with the police, were in
attendance, who could give the court some information
with regard to the character of the occurrence, if his lord-
ittilr should thins it necessary to msee any inquiries of

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two tiCloch.—The long continuance of wet weather
is beginning to create some apprehension for the
prospects of the harvest to come, so far at least as
the production in gross. The breadth of land
sown will, it is feared, be materially less
than what was expected, as, on many considerable
districts of heavy clay lands throughout the country,
it will scarcely be possible, without a speedy change
of weather, to get in the seed, and where got in
already, it is not very likely to thrive. Prices are
stated to be is. higher in Mark-lane this morning.
The funds were heavy, and slightly affected in con-
sequence, and Consols were sometimes down at 82,
and a shade below. Upon the report of 400,0001. in
gold being advised from St. Petersburg as on
the way and shipping fir this country,
they recovered, however, and have since reached
821 to ./ for money, and 82: to 1 for time, as
they now are. Reduced Threes, 804 to 1. Three-
and-a.Quarter per Cents., 81'1 to 2.1. Exchequer-bills,
425. to 455. premium. Bank Stock, 187 to 9. The
notice of the Prussian Consul, warning the masters
Prussian ships about the possibility of a stoppage of
the navigation in the North Sea and the Baltic by the
Danish government, has created some alarm in com-
mercial quarters.
Except in Spanish, we have little variation to notice
in the foreign market. Spanish Fives improved to 12
to / ; the Threes, to 21 to 1; Passive, 2; to 3.
Portuguese, 141 to 15i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half

BAIL COURT.

Sittings In Banco.—liefore Mr. Justice Wlghtmen.
HABEAS CORPUS. —A few days ago Mr. Edwards ob•
tamed a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a gentleman,
whose name did not transpire, to be directed to a lady, who's
name also was not mentioned, to bring up tho bodies of hit
two eons, of the respective ages of 4 and 5 years. Mr. Peters-
dorff, on behalf of the party to whom the writ was directed,
now applied to the court that tho time might be extended
for making a return.—Mr. Edwards, en the part of the
father of the children, would agree to the time being ex-
tended, provided lie client was allowed to visit his son..—
Mr. Petersdorff had no objection to this. The chil-
dren were at school ; and he was willing that
their parent should see them, if he would consent
not to attempt to remove them from their present
custody. He wished that the matter should be '
allowed to stand over for a month, as it would be neressary
to obtain affidavits from France and Brussels—Mr. Justice
Wightman inquired what necessity there was to send to
France or Brussels, when the parties were resident in Eng-
land ?—Mr. Peterednrff replied that it would be urged that
the father was an improper party to have the care of the
I children. But perhaps ten days or a fortnight would be
time enough within which to make a return to the writ.
—Mr. Edwards submitted that there was no necessity to
take so long a time as was proposed by his learned friend, in-
asmuch as it was not requisite to send either to France or
Brussels for affidavits.—Mr. Justice Wightman said a return
must be made on Wednesday next, and, as we understood,
the writ was to be made returnable at chambers.
ALLEGED MISCONDUCT or AM ArrouxEY.—Mr.C. Dasent
moved for a rule to show cause why an attorney, of the name
of Justinian Adcock, should not be struck off the rolls of the
court. He moved upon the affidavit of Mr. Hayes, a soli-
citor, carrying on business at Cambridge, and the facts dis-
closed by that affidavit were shortly thew :—Some time since
Mr. Adcock was employed to prosecute a man of the name
of William Smith, at the Cambridge sessions, for felony, and
on that occasion he alto instructed counsel on behalf of the
prisoner, improperly using the name of a Mr. Southey, an
attorney, and making it appear that that gentleman was the
prisoner's professional adviser. On Mr. Hayes becoming
awars of the conduct of Mr. Adcock, he laid
the whole matter before the Reoerder of Cam-
bridge (Mr. Serjeant Stork.), who directed that Mr. Adcock
should not be allowed his costs. In consequence of Mr.
Baps having exposed the conduct of Mr. Adcock, that per-

LONDON. FRIDAY. JUNE 16.

- -
IT appears, from what fell from L•trcl PALMERSTON
in the house of Commons last night, that Senor
ISTC RITZ has left Loadon, not in consequence of being
recalled by his own government, but from our govern-
ment feeling it necessary to retaliate for the insult
put upon Sir HENRY BULNV ER. All parties in the
late debate seemed to feel that this insult must be
atoned for, and government had no choice left.
But Twitters cannot ,rid here. Two such nations as
England and Spain cannot turn their backs on each
other, because the epauletted minister of one hap-
pens to be mad. We have largo interests in Spain ;
very many debts due by Spain, not only to English-
men, but to the English government; and we find
that English gentlemen are daily imprisoned and
maltreated in Spain. Nothwithstanding the diplo-
matic breach forced upon us, we must
protect British subjects and British interests.
We understand that one of the first steps of M.
LESSEPS, the French ambaseadcr, after his arrival
at Madrid, was to claim from the Spanish govern-
ment payment of the large sums due to France and
the French on divers accounts. 'lbis may be con-
sidered very ungracious on the part of the French
government : but it wants money, and is not to be
trifled with. And we should look very foolish cer-
taint if M. DE LAMA E could force the Spaniards to
pay down and settle their accounts, whilst we, the great
creditor and benefactor, are put off, not even with
kind words, but with insults.
It is therefore fitting that immediate demands
should be made for payment of the sums due from the
government of Spain to the government of England,
accompanied by a demand that justice be done to the
claims of British subjects, as well as reparation made
for wrongs to British subjects by the present govern-
ment. As to taking Cuba, or the Philippines, or de-
daring war—that is all idle. No one dreams
in this country of invading or conquering any of the
dominions of the Spanish monarchy. But we are
not to be cheated as well as insulted. And there are
about 900,0001. due from Spain for stores and arms
and aid to support the present Queen and the go-
vernment, that chooses to call itself constitutional.
If payment of this be denied, a precedent of how
to act will be found, if we mistake nat, in the files of
the Ga:ette for 1823, when Mr. CANNING informed
Kit; I=LNIAN r, or the Spanish ;;overatavat of that

FORMItiN.

SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL.

Mr. BROTHEItTON moved that the order of the day for
th second readiag of the Smoke Prohibition Bill be read
and discharged.
Lord MORPETH said he had been prepared to vote for
the second reading of the bill, but as the h,rs. member for
Salford bad the authority of the bon. member who had
charge 01 the bill to withdraw it, he (Lard Morpeth) should
cot oppose the motion. He, however, thought it would be
advisable to introduce the bill again early next session, in
order to get rid of the evils arising from the excessive emis-
lion of smoke from the manufactories in large towns.
The motion was then agreed to, and the order of the day
discharged.
PIRACY BILL.

On the motion of Mr. M.GREGOR the house went into
committee on the Piracy Bill, Mr. F. Matte in the chair.
On clause 1 being proposed,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL asked the hon. member
for Glasgow (Mr. M'Gregor) to be good enough to explain
the object of the clause.
Mr. M'GREGOR said the object of the bill was to give
protection to seamen in the merchant service against the
tyranny and oppression of shipmasters, and the clause pro-
vides that where it should appear that the mate and seamen
of any int reheat vessel took possession of it out of the hands
of an oppressive captain, end brought the ship and cargo
safe into port, they should not be liab:o to be punished as for
piracy.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was decidedly opposed to
such a measure, the effect of which would be to place the
master is a subservient position to Isis interior officers and
men. lie could not comsat to such an extensive and sweep-
ing alteration of the law.
Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill, and expressed his surprise
that it should have teen permitted to have leached so ad-
vanced a stage.
Toe ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the second reading
had been taken during his unavoidable absence on Wednes-
day last, but on the express understanding that the house
should not thereby stand pledged to the principle of the
measure.

Mr. BERNAL said that while he was ready to admit the t
it would be desirable to have a general code of laws for the
regulation f the merchant service, he felt bound to oppose
this most objectionable measure. lie could not think the
hon. member who had introduced it could have hod Cu,
communication with the gcneral body of the shipping in-
terests on the sutitet. lie advised his hen, friend not to
pier the bill.
Mr. M'GREGOR said the bill had been drawn by a bar-
rister who was nearly connected with the mercantile interest
of Glasgow.
Mr. HUME and Mr. DUNCAN joined in the recom-
mendation, and urged upon the hon. gentleman to withdraw
the bill.

Mr HASTIE (Glasgow) also recommended his hen. col-
league not to persist in pres-ing to' ward the hill.
Atter a lew words from the LOUD ADVOCATE in opposition
to the bill,

Mr. M.C.R.RGOR consented to withdraw it, and the
house then resumed.

BILL.

On the motion for going intocorismittee on this bill,
Mr. W. BROWN complained of the inefficient manage-
ment of the moneyorder-office in many towns, owing to the
incapacity of the clerks, and suggested that the postmaster
of each town should have the appointment of his own clerks.
The house then went into committee, Mr. F. MLVLc in
the chair.
Mr. PARKER stated that the object of the bill, which
bad been introduced at the instance of the Poatmaater-General,

was to limit to twelve months the time during which money-
orders might be outstanding, before pa} meat was demanded.
Mr. HENLEY objected to this provision u ex post facto
legislati, 0.
Mr. PARKER mid that the post-slice, offering u it did
a great acoommodationSto the public, had a right to make
such regulations as might be found necessary for the cony.
nient transaction of its business.
After a conver.ation the several clauses were agreed to an
the house resumed.

FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.
The house thee went into committee on this bill—Mr.
Bau.aw in the chair.

Col. CONOLLY objected to the claim which gars
every poaseuor of a fishing-rod a vote in the election of the
conservator' or commissioner. This would go to mute a

constituency of ragged boys.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE denied that such would be its
effect. Taken with other clauses, a very respectable consti-
tuency would be created.
Mr. ANSTEY wu in favour of leaving the appointment
of the conservators with the government.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE defended the bill as it stood. It
was a great a riment, which he hoped • old work well ;
and he trusted minor different w • mak • jaiiimai

Lord D. STUART morecit);•e;ind reading of this bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL understood the was
not acceptable to the Odd Fellows, on account of its contain-
ing a clause against secret signs. If tl.is clause were re-
tained he had no objection to the measure ; if it were struck
out he should orpose it.
Lord D. STUART thought it possible that in committee
the bill might be altered, so so to be acceptable to the order,
and to secure the approbation of the hon. and learned At-
torney•Oeneral.
The bill was then read a second time.

ITALY.

The Conatilic.ii.nale of Turin states from Milan, 3rd
inst., that the Austrians had crossed the Adda, and
were at a few miles distanoe from the capital. The
Piedmonteae were said to have 180 pieces of cannon.
All the postal roads'were broken or barricaded. It was
expected that the battle would be fought on the 4th,
and that the post would be unable to start. Brcbcia
had been attacked, but defended itself vigorously with
a garrison of 20,000 men, bebides the population. At
Turin a decree was published on the 4th, opening lists
for the enrolment of volunteers.

The Milan papers of the 4th have not arrived. We
find in the Opinione of Turin, of the sth, advicea from
Milan up to the evening of the 3rd, stating that the
king's army was concentrated before that town. The
soldiers are said to have quite recovered their spirits.
The Austrians were expected the next day.
The Risorginrento, of the sth, publishes a proclama-
tion of the Provisional Government of Lombardy,
dated the 2nd, announcing that, in virtue of the con-
vention of the 13th of June, the lieutenant-general
of the kingdom, in the name of his Majesty Charles
Albert, has paired an administrative council to as-
sume the government of Lombardy, and that the Pro-
! visional Government lays down ita powers accord-
ingle. Another proclamation from the new council
announces its installation ; it is composed of Lieir.-
Gederal Olivier, president, Marquis Monti zemolo,
and Sig. Strigelli. The same paper states thit in-
formation had been received at Milan, that Garibaldi,
having found the Alps sufficieLtly defended, had
moved with his corps towards the Adda, t e firm the
left wing of the army. Three thousand mobilised
civic guards had arrived from Cassano d'Adda. The
oper •tiot s for the defence of Milan were proceeding
with alacrity.

REMEDIES AGAINST THE HUNDRED BILL.

Sir W. CLAY said he thought the object of this measure
was one which would be best lett in the hands of government,
if they would undertake to direct their attention to it at an
early period of the next session.
Sir G. GREY said he did not think the law was in
satisfactory state; his attention had been directed to it
and he found there were considerable difficulties in
passing a satisfactory measure. Further attention would
be devoted to the subject during the recess.
Mr. CARDWELL said that government ought either to
defend the law as it stood, or amend it ; bet they condemned
it, and yet said it would be difficult to amend it.
Sir G. ORLY said he had heard few complaints as to the
ope, ation of the present law, and did not think any alteration
imperatively called for. It must be admitted that gavern.
meet had shown the utmost readiness to assist in the defence
of property at Liverpool, and elsewhere.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL referred to the past pro
ceedings on this bill, and said he doubted whether the house
would be prepared to go back to the old law.
Capt. PECUELL said that a very trifling amendment
would render the bill a good one.
After a few words f. om Mr. H. DIKUMXOND and Sir W.
CuLy the order for the committe, on the bill was discharged.
