The returns from the agricultural parishes continue to show
a stationary state of things. la the great towns in the
north of England an immense increase will no doubt be ob-
served. Thus at Hull the populations Dow sat down at
107,000, as compared with 85,000 in 1851, while at She&
field it t. stated to be 185,000, as against 133,000 in 1851.
DARING BURGLARY AND OUTRAGE—Another of
them daring outrages such as we have lately had to record
as securing at Loidsley and Watley Moor took place about
half-past one on Saturday morning, at the house of Mr. W-
Turner Booth, of Spot Acre, in the palish of Stone, and there
is little doubt that the present and the two melees burglaries
have been perpetrated by the same daring gang. In the, MO
four men forced their way into the house through the front
door, and proceeded upstairs to the room where Mr. Booth and
his wife were in bed. One of the villains then struck Mr. Booth
with a bludgeon. The only other inmate in the home is said
to have been a female servant, whom the ruffian. (three of
whom were said to have bad their faces blackened, whilst the
fourth wore a veil) secured in her bedroom by fastening the
demon the outside. Two of the gang kept guard over Mr. and
Mrs. Booth, whilst their companions ransacked the house.
After remaining on the premises about three-quarters of an
hour, they took with then, the following property : Two !IL
notes, one of them of the Bank of England; one sovereign.
and about five shillings in silver, a gold hunting watch, a
mohair guard, with gold hook and appendage*, a silver hurt-
ing watch, one large gilt oval brooch, with three ted stone,,
twe gold and two gilt bracelets, twelve milvermaspoons, with
a lioness as a crest, two tablespoons, four hams, about 40110.
of bacon, two 11A. butter, two dozen knives and forks, one
r oyee;tknife, andother articles. On leaving the house, the
to prevent an alarm, fastened Mr. mid Mrs. Booth
in their bedroom, but the former ultimately taxi verb from
his imprisonment by letting himself down from the
window with sheets. It is satisfactory to know
that on Wednesday the first steps were take*
towards the detection and punishment of these villaies,
sod that there is some probability of a pinion of the
pas, at least, being brought to punishment. On that ch.y
Superintendent Keith apprtoiended, at Cresswell. Lao it
Hurst sod George Bentley, two men of Lon;,-ton, on a charge
of taking part in the burglary. They Were. yesterslay
(Friday), taken before H. C. Taylor sod .1. W. Muelicld.
Blom, when sufficient evidence having bet,ii given to justify
such a course, the prisoners were remandeu notil 'fburielay
next. The bench tousidered that the evidence told very
strongly against Hurst, who is a returned cons

Lord PAl.MilVii.)3—Sir,l might go along with the
right bon. and gallant °Meer (General Peel) with regard to
the feeliags be expressed with respect to the question he
has put. It ia certainly most painful fur the relatives of
the gallant officer alluded to (Captain Brat:won) to be kept
in • state of doubt, whi,h is more distressing than certainty,
even if it might be adverse knowledge. (Hear.) One na-
turally sympathises with the anxiety they feel with regard
to what has happened to our pliant countryman. lam
afraid the only eimsolation which the relatives of Captain
Brabera are likely to receive is this—that at least
by the sudidenneu with which his fate was
sealed he reaped those lingering and barbarous torment. to
which his less fortunate comrades were subjected. At the
same time I can wore that gallant officer and the house
that ray noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs has takes every means that could be adopted to clear
up this mystery; aad that so far beck as February last he
mat end histrectiens to Mr. Bruce to spare uo means, official
or aon-oebeial, to And out the fate of Captain Brabeson.
And 1 mast say that as the government of Russia were
la March about to send out a new minister to China, the/
pve instructions that he should assist Mr. Bruce by every
mains ia his power in eadeavoaring to clear up. this mystery.
(Hear, he It is Palen to argue that it is no kindness
to sassinuge hops whisk might turn out fallacious. It
was Pane that thane who was iaterested in the fate of •
friend should take the darkest view. (Hear.) There is
this circumstance to betaken info amount, that the Chimes
authorities, I believe, have assionated for all the prisonees
eveept two—Captain Itnehmon and the AM* L'Huc.
(Hear, hear.) If these Ponies were thrown into the canal,
as hes been represented, that will account for their bodies
not beiag produced alter they were demanded. (Hear.)
My noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affair s has
taken every step that could be taken in this matter, and 1
am not aware that we could take any other step. He was
sure, however, that the influence of the British and French
governments would be used to accomplish all that could be
dose fur relieving the anxiety of the relatives of Captain
Brabasoa. With reward to the question started by the
ashes lad (Lad E. Cecil) with respect to Captain Mae-
hold& the wham of the) circumstances relating to that
Iransastice have hese laid before parliament la the papers
Mat have been prodneed. Ido not think that Amy expres-
sion which had been used by the noble Iced was too strap
to.stigniatise the conduct of the Premien official& (Hear.)
Ito not for us here to bandy vituperations with Mr. Mallereer

went like that of PRIM* which is represented in its kr
reign department by a distinguished nobleman who had re-
sided many years in England and must know the feelings
and habits of the people of this imuntry—f am astonished
that the Premiss government, looking, as it was bound to
look, to the eircumelances al the save, should not have
assumed a different teas. (Haar, hear.) if a similar
case had occurred in &gland we should have con-
demned the ocodact of the officials, and made every
apology and satisfaction. I think that, looking over Europe,
and casting our eyes over its political relations, the Prussian
government has way moth. to soncilist• the favour of
the lieglish meths(Hear.) I therefore say that in this
Pm the andwit of the Prussian t was a fault as
well as a crises. (Hear, hoar.) It is Imparthis to demand
from the Prussian government oompenalglen In this matter.

The event, however, was to he leassalled ; it is hspontble
for the British government to pees an demand upon
the Peruse government when rash was the state of the
law. (Hear, lbw.) I think, however, • pram. should

know, as they do know, that uaiveseal which has
been expremed against this rery British
subject, sad the diseurions it Wnas to in the

not likely to happen spin. (Hear, Par.) With PIP' to

Ida* with the public lutanist to predaes any papers on

resmission and the Turkish government, and until they
tome to some sumelasion it is not desirable or useful to
pioduce the dillannt arguments whisk seas party may
have predated he what they think the hat. (Hear, hear.)
I sea only ney this, that I believe all the powas are desirous
a emu* soak as authority is Syria nosier the Sultan as
will lead to a privatios of the recurrence of those motor-
toasts events which have lad to the occupation of Syria by
the French brows. (Hear, boar.) The Is menitve- for
North Warwickshire (Mr. Nes/degas) las asked
an if I wield afford any information as to
contingent arrangements which were stated to have been
made in the ass of the death, or abdication, or other crea-
tion of the authority of the Pope. I have seen the state-
ment to which the boo. gentleman has referred copied into
an English paper; hat her Majesty's government have re-
eeived nu information at all bearing on the subject ; and I
cannot pretend to know the rules and laws by which the
Papal government is directed, but I should very much doubt
whether it is in the power of the existing Pope to make is
his lifetime arrangements for carrying on the ecelenier
tied sad temporal government of his dominions. (Hear,
Par.) All I can say is that her Majesty's government have
received no corroborative iaforenatioa on this question.
Withdamregard to the quietism asked by the bon. aod learned
gentlemen (Sir H. (airns), the Pet end leaned gentleman
in quite right. The oosindiskin has been au ,is
espequenee of the Brazilian g forth
claims that were totally arising out of losses
by Brazilian subjects engaged in the v• trade and whoso
ships were disposed of under the set a 1845. It was im-
possible for such a subject to be consideredbly that com-
mission, and the British (overawed sastumial that such
captures had nothing to do with the molt., whisk that
commission was appointed to corider„ and that in
respect to them, we had acted upon oar powers, sad were
not accountable to Brazil for what bee bees dose. The
British goverment, therefore, disputed their claim to
mix up this question with others. A communication has'
been sent to toe English minister at Brazil upon the subject,
but when the lot mail left he had not received an answer
from the Brazilian government. The hon. and learned
petlernan will see, therefore, that it would not be ex-
pOisiit to produce the papers bearing on this question.
Chard DICKSON, referring to • previous gar-
bles r to the fate of Captais Brehason, urged
the government to order • moat searching inquiry
as to the possible fate of that gallant officer.
He hoped the noble lord would reconsider his decision, or
he should be afraid that if it got abroad that he was itn-
wered with the i lea that there was no hope left it might

ployed ha discovering the real circumstances of the death of

Mr. HADYIELD said he wished to refer to the subject
of flagging children in Kisons, and he desired to cull the
attention of the right boo. gentleman the Home Secretary
to the remarkable fact, that in these returns for three years
there were no less than 375, out of $,4. cuss of flogging
which bed taken place by the orders of the visiting justices
for breeches of prime discipline. Now the act of par.
lisnient which gave power to justices to administer
corporal punishment could never have intended that such
indiscriminate floggings as these should take place. (Hear.)
In some prisons where there was no corporal punishment,
as at Wakefield and elsewhere io Yorkshire, it was found
that fewer persons returned there twice. He complained of
the iufliction of flogging capriciously by the visiting justices,
without any limit as to the number of lashes or the instru-
ment employed. A power like that should be abolished, as
it was so capable of Wag abused.
Sir B. LEIGHTON asked the Home Secretary to my
whether it wee not shit en examination made upon oath
before the visiting justices, in a proper judicial meaner, and
in the presence of the prisoner himself, that this punish-
ment was ordered for particular misconduct—whether the
birch dud, which was applied to boys in prime, was not also
inflicted on the children of noblemen and gentlemen, in
private, by the head masters of public schools.
Mr. BRISCOE, with learnt to the llogging, hoped the
country would express its iadigestion, and that the Home
Secretary would introduce some 13.111 to abolish thst
disgraceful system. Ws often ind la vituperation of
foreign states, and talked of the true tins practised in the

strokes, would inflict Ito lashes. Men moulding be allowed

This ease was adjourned from chambers, and involved the
consideration of • curious question arising out of a fraud
which bed been practised on the committee of the Stock
Exchange in reference to the above company. By the rules
of the Stock Exchange a settling day cannot be fixed till
the secretary and bankers of the company have certified
that deposits on • certain proportion of the shares have
been paid. The requisite proportion of share had not bees
taken up in this company, and the directors thereupon hit
upon the following scheme. They borrowed for a few days
on their own responsibility upwards of 30,0001. from differ-
eat bankers and money-lenders, and paid upwards of
7,0001. in small sums into one of the hankers of the rm.
pry, who on a particular day certified to the secretary of
the Stock Exchange that that sum was standing to the
credit of the company. The directors immediately
drew out that sum of 7,0001., awl paid it and
the rest of the 30,0001., also in small sums,
re another banker's, who, re the same day
se the former osnianate was gime, eieriiiled that the
30,0001. was standing to the credit of the oempany. The
seernittee of the Stock Unhinge sestedingly wokted a
settling day, and awn sins hemlit by the piddk. A few
days !after the demean drew eel the whole el the mosey
so paid in by than to the eompany's bankied L slam was
delimited that the lead said to be pinhead by_ dm com-
pany contained no gold, mid that the "bob tidedwasa
bubble. The premed suit was thmeepea insiMeted to wind
I up the company and make the Oaten iMe®t for the
I moneys of the company actually reesised by them.
Mr. Cole and Mr. Clement Swanton, for ems of the dime-
ton, submitted to be charged with the modes actually
rs-
ceived from shareholders on amount of the eempany, but
contended that the directors could not be charged with the
30,0001., although it had hue paid into the bankers of the
company. The lireetors had been already sought to be
fixed se contributories for the shares in nerd of which the
30.0001. was pretended to be paid, bat ft bed blue derided
that they were not co and if they wire not sow

Ookmal NORTH thought this loggia the most tyran-
anal sad brutal thing he ever heard al b his life. In the
army, the flogging of • boy with a cat of nine tails
was nevrr heard of, and se soldier could be sea-
%need by • court-martial to more than fifty babes.
They might talk of brutality la the army, but hero was far
grater brutality. la the army they could nut flog
without the preliminary of • court-martial, but here • ma-
globate might go into • prima, and flog as many gentlemen
rbe lilted. (Lnighter.) Some of the cases in these returns
were of the most trivial nature. A hut* boy was flogged
for tearing_ his eatesidem another, for throwing water on
a prime eer. Twenty; or thirty men were floored in one
gaol, sad the said they were flogged lightly, and
so blood was This looked as if men were fimired
merely for amueemint. Ile would not give this power to
say magistrates.

1116.MINMAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether his particular attention bad
hem drawn to the returns of last 11411121100 and this seesion on
the subject of Bairn children and others in prime, and
that M particular in 375 cases in three years out of Kit they
had been inflicted by order of visiting justices in 32 prisons
out of 137 ; and further whether it was true that children
of tender age had received severe punishment for shouting
in a cell And other trivial offences. The hoe. gentleman
, said it was hardly credible that children of the tender ages
of nine, ten, and eleven should have been subjected to
such punishment as that which he wished to bring
under the attention of the house, and which were
set forth is the returns as having occurred in
the moons of flpilaby. Morpeth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
Oxford. Petworth, and others, and as having been °r-
and by the visiting justices for breaches of discipline. He
should be glad to know whether it was true, as allege],
that in this free country this punishment was inflicted in
the vaults and cellars of the prisons, in order that the cries
of the children might not be heard. On looking over these
Morns, which he was :lad had been printed for circula-
tion, he thought he was reading account. of the old slavery
days, or eastern tales of cruelty. He should be `lad to
know whether the returns were true. He found that the
venter number of punishments had been ordered by
Mr. Trafford, Mr. Cuthbert Ellison, and a Mr. Rickards.
He did not deny that in extreme cases this punishment
might be inflicted, but that it should .come the diameter
' exhibited in the Morns, and inflicted upon children of such
teak, years, who were not of themselves to blame, was, he
believed, never intended by the legislature. He hoped the
mbar had been imam the attention of the right hoe. gen-
therm, and that he would give a full explanation to the
home. (Hear, hear.)
