THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lords, last night, several notices
Ma:notion were given. Lord Dungannon will ask,
on Monday next, when the report of the Commis
sinners respecting the riots at Belfast will be laid
before the House, and several particulars are
wanted with respect to the Indian Press by Lord
Ellenborough. Lord Shaftesbury will, on Monday,
state the object of the Religious Worship Act
Amendment Bill, and move its postponement.
In the House of Commons, last night, Lord
Palmerston stated that the negoeiations with the
Austrian Government with respect to the Tele
graphic line with India had been abandoned, as
the Austrian Government wished to impose such
restrictions as the English authori ies would
not submit to. After the discussion of some
other minor matters, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer made a somewhat lengthened
statement, on the House going into Committee
or the purpose of moving that the Chairman be
directed to move to bring in a bill to indemnify
the Bank of England for their recent suspension
of the Bank. Charter Act. The right hon. gentle-
man entered into full particulars. After some
remarks from Mr. Gladstone, Lord John Russell,
ind Mr. Disraeli, it was agreed that leave be given
t© bring in the bill, The second reading will take
place on Friday next.
At the AssiaLs yesterday, a very diabolical case
was gone into. A young man, only 23 years old,
named Greenwood, was charged with the murder
of a little girl under 10 years. The case was very
peculiar. The deceased and the prisoner had slept.
in the same bed. Some few days after the girl
eomplainad of being unwell. She was taken to a
doctor, who prescribed for her, but after enduring
great agony she died in about three weeks, Just
previous to her death, depositions were taken,when
she averred that the prisoner had, to all intents and
purposes, committed a rape up m her. A post/nor-
:len examination was made, and it was found that
she had died of a foul and noxious disease. The
prisoner was apprehended, and he was found to
labour under a similar disease of a virulent cha-
racter and of long standing. After a trial occu-
pying five hours, the jury brought in a verdict
of aggravated manslaughter, and the Judge sen-
tenced Greenwood to penal servitude for life. The
ease of fratricide, in Trowbridge-street, in this
town, was also tried, and a verdict of manslaugh-
ter being returned, a sentence of eighteen calan-
der months was imposed on Robert Jones, the
paipeti Mtn-.
Mr. Justice Wightnnin, in the course of some
remarks yesterday, on the reprehensibie system of
the way in which the Liverpool depositions are
taken before the -Magistrates, eulogised the manner
in which Mr. Mansfield performed his duty, but he
said, "it is too great for him (3,1 r. M.), and he
ought to have assistance."

At the Police Court, yesterday, the case of the
murder by the captain and mate of the Elizabeth
was again under investigation. Several additional
witnesses were examined, including a Frenchman,
whose evidence went very much against the cap•
thin particularly, who looked very much care-
worn. Mr. Snowball said that it would be
as well to send the affair for trial at once, but Mr.
Mansfield did not take this view of the affair, and
intimated that although the investigation might
mot be concluded in time for these assizes, the
Crown may thii:k it proper, to save time and ex-
pence, to send the case for trial at the Central
Criminal Court, the same as in that of Palmer, the
poisoner. As it is, none of the accused will ever
serve as captain in the merchant service of Eng-
land.

A further attempt was made to launch the
LeTiathen yesterday, and she has now made a
progress of 19 feet.
Yesterday, in the Court of Chancery, a rather
important question was settled. The question to
be decided whether a marriage with a deceased
-wife's sister, in a foreign country, which by the
ittw of that country is valid, is to be held valid or
nugatory, both parties being British subjects.
Mr. Justice Cresswell, who sat as assessor to the
Vice-Chancellor, summed up a learned exposition
of the law of the case by adjudging that the
xmarriage is question was invalid.
In the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday, the claim
of the Great Northern Railway Company to prove
the amount that Rzdpath defrauded it of as a debt
against his estate, was rejected.

—Thain, the detective oThleer, who was shot on
board the Caledonia, by his prisoner, while con-
veying him to England, die] yesterday morning.
The news from the Continent this morning is
mot of much importance. The commercial crisis
ztill cow inues in the north. In Hamburgh, tile
general assembly of citizens, which constitutes the
sovereign power, has adopted the proposition of
The Senate, giving an indulgence to debtors; the
indulgence is, however, as it now appears, of a
limited character, allowing tae administration of a
bankrupt estate by a committee of the creditors,
without bankruptly being pronounced. The cities
of Copenhagen and Berlin begin to be seriously
affected, and the panic in fact is general all round
the Baltic.

The Paris Petrie says that although the Em
peroi's permission to General Lamoriciere to
return to France reached him too late to enable
him to see his dying son, the general is still free
to avail himself of the passport which the French
minister at Brussels sent to him, anti that "in all
probability he will soon do so." A.. correspon-
dent adds:—" I have reason to believe, however,
that General Limoriciere does not intend to
come to France. lam not aware whether the
report, which I perceive has reached Lon-
don, that passports have also been sent to Generals
Chaugarnier and Bodeen is true, but I believe it
to be quite certain that they will not at present
return from exile."
The A iriatic, the new steamer of the Collins line,
arrived here yesterday with New York dates to the
?3rd ult , acid nearly 400,000 dollars in specie. A
late New York paper avers that the administration
will avow the acquisition of Cuba as necessary to
the policy of the United States. A flliibuster
rendezvous of Walker's had been broken up.
The Atlantic had arrived at New York on the
50nd of November, with the news of the Bank of
England having raised to ten per cent. its rate of
discount ; also of Dennistoun's failure, and the
Scotch Bank suspensions. The news, however,
Ind not time to develops its effects. The Niagara
frigate had arrived at New York 14 days from
Portsmouth. In the Money market there was a
tendency to greater ease, and supplies were more
Isberal at from 7 to 8 per cent. on New York State
