PETItIONS.
Mr. Vance, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Headlam, and
of
Mr.
Mailings . presented petitions against the Bills
Exchange Bill.
BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading of
this bill,
Mr. VANCE opposed it, on the ground that it would
restrict the operations of bills of exchange and prove
alike injurious to the debtor and the creditor. It pro-
posed to establish a registration of dishonoured bills of
exchange, and to enable the holder of a bill of exchange
to sue out judgment against his debtor without taking
any preliminary proceedings beyond the mere registra-
tion. This registration would set aside the existing law
of judgments, insolvency, and bankruptcy, and other-
wise give the holder of a registered bill of exchange an
undue advantage over all other creditors. That part of
the bill which related to Ireland was exceedingly objec-
tionable ; and, although it might be a very good thing
to prevent frivolous defences against bills of exchange, he
yet thought such cases were of too rare occurrence to
justify such an arbitrary measure as this. Except in cases
where usurious interest was charged, frivolous defences
were exceedingly unfrequent, and since the commercial
community of England and Ireland had mostly petitioned
aeainst the bill, be did not think the house would be
jtistified in passing the second reading. He moved that
the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. MUNTZ seconded the amendment, as the bill
would do a great deal more harm than good. He would
drive many a solvent man into bankruptcy. It came
from a lawyer, and he had no hesitation in saying that
lawyers were more ignorant of mercantile transactions
than any other people. ' A bill of exchange was only the
representation of a debt not quite due, and he could not
understand why it should have precodence'oeer all other
contract debts.
Sir E. PERRY defended the bill, which he said was
supported by 28 petitions from the largest mercantile
Cities in the kingdom, and based upon sound principles.
The patronage under the bill would be placed in the
hauls of the Crown, but it would impose no additional
expense whatever upon the public, as the registration
f...-- --xa ee,..eee ra. --,e ,:es. It was not the bill
of Lord Brougham, at least that noble and learned lord
did not frame it ; but it was the work. of a committee of
mercantile men who held their meetings in the o.ly of
London, whilst it had been examined in detail, sad ap-
proved by a committee of Law Lerds in the upper house.
Ihe law proposed to be established by this bill W 33 in
operation in Scotland, where it was working exceed-
ingly well, and he hoped as the simple remedy of the
bill was Ito do away with fictitious -defences, and
give a speedy remedy on dishonoured bills of exchange,
if the house parsed the secoed reading he should have
no objection to refer the bill to a select committee.
Mr. GURNEY could see no necessity for altering
the existing law. There might be inconveniencee at-
tending its operation; but the remedy proposed by this
bill was worse than the disease. In fact, it consulted
the convenience of the few at the expense of the ruin of
the many. The suited principle for regulating the law of
debtor an :l erediter should proceed upon the under-
standing that the debtor was entitled lo sufficient time
to recover himself from temporary difficuitiss, and
if at the expiration of that time it was found that the
debtor could not recover himself then hie assets should
be divide,' in equal proportions amongst all his cre-
ditors. Now, this bill wholly ignore I the principle of
giving the holder of bills of exchange a preference over
all
_other creditors, and he thought the house should
hesitate before they adopted it, becauze it appeared to
him to be an absolute encouragement of fraudulent pre-
ferences. He admitted that the present state of the law
was an inducement to leniency from the creditor to the
debtor, but this bill would afford a direct premium for
harshness ; and therefore he thought it would press
headily and unjustly upon those small shopkeepers, and
their namo was legion, who carried on their trade
through the instrumentality of bills at short dates.
Besides these objections to the bill, it would act most
prejudicially upon the public interest, inasmuch as it
would tend to diminish the amount of really good bills
of exchange, and increase considerably bad one; because
men who did not hesitate to give bills now would object ,
to do so if this measure passed, and bills of exchange
would too frequently bear the acceptance of men of
straw. As for the petitions in favour of the bill, he did ,
not attach much importance to them, because they came
mostly from Chambers of Commerce, where small trades.

NORTHAMPTON RACES, 1856.—The Marquis of Angle-
sey, Earl Pomfret, and the Earl t•f Hopetoun have con-
sented to act as stewaris.

On re-examination the prosecutrix said that she re'
ceived notice to quit the service because Mr. Sugden
would not keep a servant who was a Roman Catholic.
Elphick and Fenn were also warned to quit, on account
of Mr. Sugden becoming acquainted with the nature of
the intercourse that was going on between them. She.
did not make any complaint to Mrs. Sugden, because she
said that she would not believe anything that was said
by a Roman Catholic.
Mr. Baron Platt"put some questions to the witness,
in answer to which she said that she did at first resist
Elphick coming to bed with her and Fenn, but he gene-
rally came while she was asleep. She said she thought
it was not a decent thing, but sho " had not the sense "
to know what to do to prevent it. Some other facts
were elicited by the learned judge, which were not of a
nature to be further alluded to, but which had a ten-
dency very much to damage the character and credit'of
the prosecutrix.
Mr. Jas. Farringdon deposed that at the time in ques-
tion he was postmaster of Newdegate, and lived close to
the rectory house. He remembered the prosecutrix
Cratvley making a communication to him on
,the 2d Sept.
Before this he had said that when Mr. Sugden, who was
absent, returned, he should inform him of the goings on
at his house. He said something to the same effect to the
prosecutrix before she made any communication to him,
and after she had told him she burst into tears. •
Mr. Parry said that the name of Mr. Sugden appeared
upon his brief as a witness, but he did not know whalifr
the courtwould consider it necessary that he should be
called.

A letter from the Downs, dated Tuesday, the 27th,
says :

The Cossack returned from- Sheerness on Tuesday,
bringing boats for the Arrogant to supply the place of
those smashed by the Elk, and other stores. The whole
of the squadron have been exercise 1 to-day and yesterday
in firing shot at a mark. Discipline—strict and stern—
seems to be the order of the day. While crossing top-
gallant and royal yards this morning, in accordance with
the usual custom, a general signal of ' Silence' was hoisted
on beard the senior officer's ship, enforced by a gun. No-
thing followed. A. court of inquiry, composed of Captains
Watson (Imperieuse), Ramsay (Euryalus), and Fanshawe
(Cossack), assembled to-day, and went on board the Arro-
gant and Esk to inquire into the circumstances of the late
collision between these two vessels on the night of leaving
Spithead. Tho result is not known. 1.30 p-m.—The wind,
having changed to S.W., is now fair for sailing. The
Harrier, 14, Commander Story, has just arrived, and an-
chored to join the squadron ; it is said she go's= ou to Yar-
mouth at once. 4-30 p.m.- A general signal has just been
made to 'Sail to-morrow at daylight.' Elsinore is the
rendezvous."

THE DRIED FRUIT TRADE.—The seasons of the last

unrivalled remedies for the cure of skin diseases.—Mr.
Win. Walker, boot and shoemaker, Hayfield, suffered for
more than two years from dreadful scorbutic humours in
both his legs, which extended from the knee to' the foot,
and formed one complete sore ; the pain also was most
excruciating, and notwithstanding he tried various
remedies, yet they became worse and worse, until he
thought mortification would take place. At this critical
juncture he commenced using Holloway's ointment and

of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 3i inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's counterla,ice three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-

In answer to questions put by Mr. Clarkson, Mr.
Sugden siiid that on the night in question the Rev. Mr.
Pigott occupied a bed-room adjoining the one occupied
by himself and his lady, and if any screaming bad leen
made during the night they must have heard it • in fact,
it must have been heard all over the house. lie hal no
recollection of making auy inquiry on the morning of
the 14th of August about a noise in the house during
the night, arid ha heard nothing of what had happened
until the 2d of September. He also denied having de-
tected Elphick and Fenn in any improper situation;
but he raid he suspected they were not conducting
themselves properly, and for that reaamii he had given
them both notice to quit his service. Mr. Sugden also
explained that there was no necessity for Eton to have
passed through the room of the servants to his bed-room,
and be could have got there by a different part of, the
house altogether.
Mr. Clarkson then aldrassed the jary for the prisoner
Elton, and he observed that in the course of the now
somewhat long experience he hau had at the bar he had
been concerned in many extraordinary cases, but he had
no recollection of any charge of this kind being sought
to be made out by such evidence as they bad heard
that day. He said hi should have no anxiety for the
result, so far as the boy at the bar was concerned,
were it sot for the prejudice that must necessarily be
created' by the youth and the appearance of the pro•
secutrix, and the sympathy they were likely to
create ?, but still he had no doubt he shoind be
able to satisfy the jury that the testimony she hal
given cou'al not be relied _upon, and that it would
be a most unsafe and dangeroue course to convict
any one upon a charge of this description upon such tes-
timony. Ile then proceeded to call the attention nf the
jury to the grass immorality that was proved to. have

Some interesting experiments with a newly invented
expanding shot have been made at Shoeburyness. Where
a common round 91b. shot required 31b. of powder to
project it the ordinary distance, a 161 b. expanding hall,
fired from the same bore with a charge of from 2f113. to
211 b., went from 273 to 744 yards farther, and, with a
gun cf sufficient weight of metal to allow a full charge
of powder, from 1,200 to 1,500 yards beyond the dis-
tance reached by the round shot.
