Queen, had in fact got up a league to hold land in defiance
of the terms of the treaty of Waitangi. It was not a qua*.

Agreed to.
MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL.
The adjourned debate on this bill was resumed by
Mr. AYRTON, who explained that this bill was founded
mainly on the existing statute, the only difference being
that while at present the arbitrator was not appointed
until the angry 'disputes had arisen, by the bill he
was appealed to in the earliest stage of • difference.
The WI was purely permissive, and the question was,
whether the house would allow the experiment to be made,
the act of 11424 having proved entirely inoperative, and the
great body of operatives being anxious for and in favour of
the present measure.
Mr. G. HARDY said it was competent at present for
masters and operatives to set up an arbitration, and he did
not wish to go further by establishing • regular court. He
thought it better, therefore, to oppooa the bill in the be-
ginning, lest by allowing it to go further false hopes might
be raised in the minds of the working classes.
Mr. SLANEY supported the bill. Having been • mem-
ber of the select committee on this question, he was strongly
in favour of sending this bill to • committee. The principle
had already been sanctioned by former acts, but in practice
they bad been found to be inoperative. What was now
sought was that before ill blood had arisen between =sten
and men they might have power to delegate to a few rim-
sonablo and honest men the power of settling their differ-
ences.

The amendment was carried without a division, and the
bill was, therefore, lost.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE POPE'S HEALTH.

ROME, Joint Is.

The Pope gives a few audiences and takes his
usual airing every day, but it is certain that the
physicians are uneasy about his swelled legs. They
recommend immediate change of air, but it is not
likely that his Holiness will leave for Castel Gan-
dolfo before the Consistory of the Fite of St. Peter
on the 28th and 29th.

Pius IX. is 71 years of age, and not 69. There
was a mistake about his age at the time of his
election, and, out of politeness, the error has never
been corrected.

It is beyond all doubt that the distress in Romo is
excessive, and the assertions of the Giornale di Roma
to the contrary are absurd. For the last three
years the average number of foreigners in Rome
has been but 4,000 or 5,000-8,000 is the very
utmost that we have had at any one time during
that period, even at the height of the winter sea-
son. Now formerly there used to be 50,000, spending
at the average rate of three crowns a day. The
difference cannot but be most sensibly felt by the
population.

HUNGARY.

A letter from Pesth, of June 21, in the Cor-
rupondance BuUier says, in anticipation of the
refusal of the Emperor of Austria to receive the
address voted by the Lower Chamber :
Discouragement is general. Trade is in a state of utter
stagnation. The general opinion is that we must prepare
for passive resistance. The Diet will probably be dissolved,
and then everything will be disorganised. The return of
foreign functionaries is looked forward to with much appro.
hoodoo ; for you must know that the moment the demands
of the country are rejected every Hungarian functionary
will resign ; that has been unanimously resolved upon. M.
Desk himself is alarmed ; he assured use tacky that the
state of the country gives him most serious nneeeinees.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

The embarkation of the troops intended to rein-
force the Canadian contingent commenced yesterday and
will be completed to-day, under the superintendence of
General Sir G. Wetherell. 'Upwards of 2,000 men, toge-
ther with 89 officers, 122 hones, and 180 women and
children, were taken on boardeltrday, : officers,
220 men, and 110 hones of the Artillery ; 39 offirs ce,
868 men, and 6 horses of the 30t Regiment ;39 officer.,
868 men, and 6 horses of the 60th Regiment; and detach-
ments from various regiments, comprising 4 officers and 101
men. The men and matirid were conveyed on board from
the great landing stage in lighten, which were kindly placed
at the disposal of the Admiralty by the Cunard Company.
The Armstrong guns (12 pounders), 18 in number, excited
much attention and curiosity, and were greatly admired for
their neat and smart appearance and high finish. Only one
slight accident occurred during the embarkation, ore of the
artillerymen being bruised in the foot by an ambulance
wheel paring over it. To-day the remainder of the troops,
including portions of two Irish regiments, the 60th and 17th,
will embark, and the Great Eastern herself is expected to
mil about half-pad one or two o'clock. Her departure will
doubtless be no less exciting than her arrival, and already
arrangements are made for large numbers of steamers to
follow her out to sea.

MUSIC.

---4.--
MR. BENEDICTS CONCERT.

Mr. Benedict's annual concert, which took place
on Monday at St. James's Hall, was as usual one of the
most remarkable occurrences of the musical season. It
might be called a monster concert on account of its great
length, the host of performers, and the quantity of music ;
but it differed from the generality of such concerts in one
important particular; the banquet was as recherehts as it
was ample. Every performer was a distinguished favourite
of the public, and every piece, vocal and instrumental,
was as carefully chosen as it could have been for
the most select and critical audience. In truth,
the materials of this concert were sufficient for three
concerts, every one of them excellent. It is impossible
to give the details of such an entertainment as this, or
even to enumerate the host of performers. We may men-
tion, however, that Mr. Benedict's beautiful cantata,
(lodine, now so well-known to the musical world, was
given entire, and most admirably performed, the characters
being sustained by Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Sainton Dolby,
Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Weiss. Schumann's andante
and variations for two pianos was finely played by Miss
Arsbella Goddard and Mr. Benedict. His Beene, "Quand
tout d'un coup," from Lea Noon,. de Robert, was most bril-
liantly sung by Madame Sherrington, and several of his
most favourite English songs were given by Mr. Santley
and Mdlle. Parepe. Miss Arabella Goddard played hi
solo (which she has rendered so popular) " Where the bee
sucks;" and he played his own Andante and Bandeau,
with orchestral accompaniments.
The hall was filled with the most fashionable company in
Loudon ; and, notwithstanding the great length of the en-
tertainment, it seemed to give so much gratification to the
vast assemblage that the crowd remained undiminished to
the end.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(120 X 0011 OWN

PARIS, TCIIBDAT EVINI2IO.

The terms in which the recognition of "King
Victor Emmanuel as King of Italy " are announced
in the Moniker seem to me more satisfactory than
could have been hoped for. The reserves fall far
short of the maintenance of the "absolute status
quo" which some of the semi-official journals have
been harping upon for the last fortnight, and con-
tain nothing inconsistent with the idea that Rome
is to become the capital of Victor Emmanuel's
kingdom. All that the official declaration says is
that "the French troops will continue to occupy
Rome so long as the interests which brought them
there shall not be covered by sufficient guarantees."
The convenient vagueness of this phraseology is,
having regard to surrounding circumstances, alto-
gether in favour of Italy and against the Pope.
What were the "interests" which, upwards of
twelve years ago, brought the French army to
Rome have never yet been clearly stated,
and need not be now inquired about ; but
as to the " guarantees " which the Emperor
will now consider sufficient to cover those interests,
it is quite plain from M. Thouvenel's despatch
that they do not involve the maintenance, at all
events, of the temporal power. M. Thouvenel
throws over altogether the catholic argument, used
only yesterday by the Pays, that the Pope must
be propped up as a sovereign in Rome " in the in-
terests of catholicity," and plainly says that he re-
gards the Pope in his temporal capacity just as
any other king, and does not expect to see him
keep his dominions except by the goodwill of his
people. By the way, the originally published text
of M. Thouvenel's despatch is corrected. It seems
he did not say the " consent " of his people, but
the " content "of his people. The signification is
the same. The necessity being admitted that the
people should be " content " to be reigned over by
him, implies that their "consent" is a requisite ;
and the observation of the Debats, that the phrase
"ia a programme," holds good. It has over and
over again been said by the government journals in
recent times that the only object of the French
troops being in Rome was to provide for the per-
sonal safety of the Holy Father. This is certainly
now not to be understood as meaning his temporal
power.

The Pays remarks that the Emperor Rent his re-
cognition of Italy to the Moniker on the anniver-
sary of the battle of Sollerino.
The Bourse, notwithstanding a fall of * in Con-
sole, left A tolerably firm, with very little change
from yesterday. The Rente for account fell 5c.,
closing at 67fr. 60c.
It is reported here that the Austrian government
has refused to receive Mr. Berlingame as represen-
tative of the United States at Vienna, on the ground
that he made the motion in Congress for recognising
the kingdom of Italy.

THE KINGSWOOD MURDER.

The police authorities have now succeeded in
procuring evidence by which the movements of the mur-
derers have been ascertained almost from the moment when
Mdl4. Tietjens gave one of them the letter to Mr. Krool, as
mentioned in our yesterday's inimeasion, and the purchase
of shall of string bythe suspected parties of a kind similar to
that with which the legs of the deceased were bound, has
been traced. A reward of 2UO(. has been offered for the
apprehension of the murderers, one-ball of which will be
paid by Mr. Adcock, M.Y. There was a alight mistake in
the description of one of the men alleged to have been given
by Mdlle. Tietjens. fibs describes the man who waited upon
her with the letter, of which mention has been made, as
being of about Mt. sin. in height, of fair complexion,
dressed in a brown oat, speckled trousers, cap with peak,
striped shirt, turned down collar, with black necktie. This
person answers the description of Frans, not only as given
in the book, but as that stated on all hands to be one of the

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Ashistant•Judge).
Jane •10110, 34i, charwoman, was indicted for feloniously
and maliciously by-force taking one Joseph Davis, an infant,
nine months of age, from its lawful custody, with intent to
steal from the said child a frock and other articles, value
10s., the property of its father.
The prisoner was a brazeo.faced looking woman, and had
been twice convicted previously. This ease was, as his
lordship observed, a most atrocious one. The proeecutrix
was the wife of a fellowsbip.porter, living at 18, Kest*.
street, Christchurch, and the keeper of a lodging-house.
The prisoner had hired lodgings there, and stole the child
from the kitchen, stripped it of it. clothes, and put it under
a water.butt, stark naked, and turned the cock on the poor
little creature, no doubt in the hope of it. dying.
Mary Ann scott deposed—l am the wife of William
Ascott, marbler, living at 1, Britannia-court, Golden-lane.
On the 29th of May I beard the screams of an infant down.
stairs. I ran down and found the baby (now present) lying
on ita belly on the cold stones under the butt. I sent for a
policeman and took the child to the station, and then to
Sweet Apple•court. 1 warmed it and wrapped it in my
frock, and suckled it.
. .

It was proved that the prisoner had endeavoured to sell
the child a clothes, and on being asked how it was that the
child was in a state of nudity she said she bad run away
from her husband, who was going to beat her. She was
found Guilty, and three former convictions for felony were
proved against her by Mrs. Howe, of the Westminster
prison.
The jury in giving their venlict said they considered it a
moat aggravated 0111111, and that the prisoner deserved not the
'lightest sympathy.
His lordship in passing sentence, said be quite concurred
with the jury, and a worse case had never been within his
knowledge. Had the poor child died, the prisoner
might have been tried for murder. A viler crime could not
be conceived, and the sentence was that she be kept in penal
servitude for three years.
Sir James Tyler, and other magistrates on the bench, got
up a subscription for the witness Asoutt, in which the jury
joined, for her kindness and humanity to the infant. She
was also applauded by the audience.

Mr. Happen, on behalf of the petitioner, moved that the
decree nisi might be made absolute.
Mr. Hopewood, for the husband, banded in an affidavit
by the husband, alleging that his offence had, since the
decree nisi, been condoned.
Sir C. Cresswell said the case must stand over. He sus-
pected that there had been some trick, and if be found
that the court or the parties had been imposed upon, he
would do his best to have the offenders severely punished.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner &onlbw's.)
IN RE GEORGE TODD, JEN.

The bankrupt was a builder, of Clique-walk, Chelsea.
This was the examination meeting.
The accounts, prepared by Mr. Maynard, show a sum of
3,1 W. due to unsecured creditors, with assets of about
460/. Further debts of 5,3811. are partially secured by pro.
party valural at 4,310/. Ou a tniding of two years and a half
there had been no profits, while the losses and expenses
were upwards of 3,:fiag.
Mr. M. Abrahams, for the assignees, stated that the
bankrupt's books had been badly kept, and the accounts
were in consequence unsatisfactory ; but it was proposed to
allow the bankrupt to pass, without prejudice to any ques-
tion that might be raised at the certificate meeting.
Passed accordingly. .
IN RE GARNON.

The bankrupt was a coal merchant of Hornaey. This
was the examination sitting. Against debts and liabilities

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Turfs

Sittings at Mist Pries at Westminster.—(Befuro Mr.
Hama Martin sad Spacial Juries.)

LOAL V. lIANN.-ALLSOLD INSANITY.

This was an action to recover 11.01., the value of a pro-
missory note dated 15th January, 1859, jointly signed by
the defendant and his brother. The defendant pleaded
that he did not make the note, that it was given without
value or consideration, never indebted, and that at the time
of making the note he was of unsound mind, and thereby
incapable of entering into a continct as the plaintiff well
knew.

Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Marten were counael for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Lush and Mr. Powell represented the de-
fendant.
Evidence having been gone into at considerable length,
Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said the law, as laid
down by the Court of Exchequer Chamber, was that insanity
could not prevail as a defence of an action, unless that to-
sanity were known to the other contracting party, and that
he took advantage of it.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1681.13. Cd.,
the amount claimed.

CHINA.

The Hong-Kong journals of July 12 state that
Ban-ko-lin-sin has captured Teng-Lenin, and that
Tao-tai of Chi-tung bad been degraded for cowardice,
having retreated from the rebels without striking a
blow. The Chinese correspondent of the North
China Herald says :

There is a report current that thirteen successive vic-
tories have been achieved by Tseug-hwo-fan over the rebels,
great numbers of whom were slain—it is said 20,0014 which
has caused much rejoiciug amongst the people of Kiangoan.
At Shaughae, much trouble had been caused by
the plunder of valuable silk cargoes by people
supposed to belong to the insurgent party. Gun-
' boats had been sent to obtain restitution and to
enforce respect for all merchandise for the fu-
ture ; they succeeded in the first after a
good deal of trouble, unattended, however, with
violence, and good grounds exist for supposing
that success will follow their efforts in seeking to
secure safety for the time to come.
At Canton, news had come in that a serious clan
fight between the Hakkaa and Pantie was going on
in the adjacent country. Thedeserters from the With
Regiment who surrendered themselves some time ago,
were about to be indicted criminally for various of-
fences which they committed after desertion. The chi-
affection in the Canton garrison, which was begun
by the infliction of three drills a day for no
alleged fault, does not seem to have abated. The
various lectures and readings given in behalf of the
soldiers' institute there, are not, it is said, attended''
by a single private soldier. A recent re ding was
given by one of the officers to an audience of
seven.

" Business in general," says the Friend of China,
"continues dull. Imperial and rebel successes
alternate. The valley of the Yang-tare is flooded.
A new insurrection has broken out near Pekin,
and altogether the prospect for business is not
cheering. Hankow, which was to have been the
panacea of all our ills, does not answer the ex-
pectations formed of it. The market for imports
does not show any signs of life since the rebels
threatened it in March last, and is fur teas, they
have been somewhat retarded, owing to the pre-
sence of rebels in the tea districts. About 96 chops
had been seen, only mix or eight of which bad been
offered for sale."

The American government has appointed Mr.
Mgelow, late of the New York Swelling Poet, to the Paris
Camlate. Mr. Bigelow was one of the most accomplished
and vermeils members of the profession in America—s
journahot who, although identified with polities as a de-
cided gegtiesa, enjoyed the respect of all for his iategrity,
Ids ideals, sad his varied knowledge sod accomplishments.
The expense of the Federal government of
America are estimated at 250,000 f. per day.

Mr. David Black, the coroner for the boroucli of Brig

North Star Inn, which is in close proximity to that part oC

and having been sworn, immediately proceeded to view the
bodies. These were ranged on tables and beadles in the
library of the Literary and Mechanics' Institute connected
with the railway company. They were twenty-two in num-
ber, and presented a horrid spectacle. Almost all were
wisely black in the face, and the features were so fright-
