- ' i-t thr: 11_ rit..,triber for the
Kil-
ni::rnock 1 t, e- of burst:, - seddres-ed his con-
stituents in the Tows, flail of Kilmarnock, which was I
crowded. He objected to- Lord S,asiley's prdposal that
Parliament should meet easier, as the only result would
be, not to accelerate public business, but only .to con-
sume mere time in talk. The House of Commons was
too touch in the'habit of spending the early part of the
session in talk ; business being put off to the end and
then shovelled through nobody knew how. Ho divided
the members into foiir classes-Ist, talkers and doers ;
2d, talkers ; 3d, doers and 4th, the large class who
swell important divisions. The talkers in the early part
of the session had nearly all their own way, the doers
accemplishing the real business in the small hours of the
night. Last session of 213 divisions, 56 were after mid-
night ; and not much had been done, except to vote large
supplies to carry on the war. Split up into sections, the
house had ne greatrallying points for parties ; and instead
of showing a bold and determined front to the common
enemy had been rent by constant dissensions and dis-
cords, at a time when that assembly should have
been united and harmonious. He knew no previous
session in which four motions of want of confidence in
Government had been made; and it was not for the ad-
vantage of the country, or the credit of our representative
institutions 4 that there should be constant struggles for
the existence of a ministry. As to the war, much as be de-
plored its calamities, he believed it unavoidable, and that
the people had gone into it reluctantly but deliberately,
because they believed it to be just and necessary.
(Cheers.) The " petice party," in his opinion, had com-
mitted. both a fault and a mistake. Their fault was, that
by their language before the war they contributed to
create the belief that, under no circumstances, would
this country.engage in war; and, since war commenced,
they had depreciated our successes, and manifested in
our distresses a feeling of something almost like exulta-
tion. The mistake, which ran through all their reason-
ing, wag, that the war was unprovoked and unnecessary,
becatise we were peaceably inclined ; losing sight of the
fact that there are two parties to a war, and that if one
is determined to force a quarrel on the other the time
would come when the latter must take up the gauntlet.
After; referring to the aggressive policy of Russia, and
its intentions, as clearly incompatible with the security
of the other great states of Europe, he expressed the
conviction that it was part of the great responsibility of
our position that we should take a leading part In resist-
ing such aggression ; and we might rejoice that this task
had fallen to us when Ireland was tranquil and prosper:.
ous, restrictions on free trade abolished, and we had a
great and gallant ally to support us. (Cheers.) Instsad
of huddling up such a peace as would merely adjourn
the question, we must secure the blessings of a lasting
peace to ourselves and our children—(applause)—either
by exhaugtirg the resources of our antagonist, or by
compelling him to yield such substantial guarantees as
would ensure the lasting peace of the world, as agaiust
the same aggressor. He thought the allies had- in the
last 15 months wade great progress towards the attain-
ment of that object ; witness Alma, Inkerman, the
Tchernaya, and .Sebastopol by land, and the operations;
of our fleets in the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Sea of
Azoff. Neeer in our history had the Caine amount of
success been attained in the same period at the com-
mencement of a great war, when we had the disadvan-
tage of starting with our military and naval establish-
ments on a peace footing. Still, at the end of. the war,
he would have these establishments reduced, and thus
save large sums for the promotion of industrial pursuits
and then we could make an extraordinary effort ween an
extraordinary emergency arose. In peace we spend on
the army:and navy 12 to 14 or 15 millions, on an ave-
rage for the last 20 years ; but in war much more ; in
1854 smile 15i millions more than in J 853, nearly
double ; and this year the additional expenditure was 35
millions. If instead of 14 millions we had spent 74
millions more annnally, during the 40 years of peace,
that would be something like 300 millions ; which, for
any practical purpose, might as well have been thrown
into the sea. We might have been better prepared for
war at the oetset, but we should have lost all the advan-
tages of. 40 years' accumulation of that money for the
social benefit of the people. (Cheers.) He deprecated
the spirit abroad in some quarters of depreciating all we
had done and were doinz, that spirit of detraction which
tells us 'that we have bad troops, generals unfit for
anything, ships. pot what they ought- to be, batteries
that cannot float ; and in short that we are, in all these
and many other respects, worse than any of our neigh-
bours. (Cheers.) Let us discriminate fairly, and not
discourage all exertions by universal depreciation. He
saw no just ground for reproaching a ministry on the one
hand or an opposition •on the other, because it was a
coalition. •The difficulty was that men thus brought
together were not unapt to fall away again ; like two
pieces of iron welded together when not sufficiently fused,
they were very apt to break away again at the joining.
Such was the case with the coalition between the friends
of Peel, and the liberal party. There was talk of a coali-
tion opposition between Messrs. Bright, Disraeli, and
Gladstone. He doubted very much that any such would
take place ; but, if it did, and they should succeed in
turning out the present Government, and taking the
reins of power themselves, he did not think such a coati-
tionWould be acceptable to the people. S)rnetimes a
mixture of opposite ingredients made a palatable coin-
pound--a salad, for example, with oil, vinegar, arid mus-
tard, was quite_palatable.; but he doubted very much if
apolitical salad would be.agreeable to the people of this
country, compounded of the oil of Oxford, the vinegar of
Manchester, and of mustard grown in Buckinghamshire.
(Laughter.) That mixture, the people, he thought, would
find more pungent than palatable. (Cheers.) He thought
all must:agree that the present administration had shown
a resolute spirit and a desire to carry on the war with
vigour and energy, and with all the power and means at
their disposal. Public opinion, as expressed in the House
of Commons, would say whether Government had dis-
charged their duty. Meanwhile, it became all true pa-
triots to create no unnecessary difficulties or impediments
in the way of carrying on the Government. (Applause.)
Our party differences, after all, were but skin deep,
while we had all one object in view, the happiness of the
country ; and if that happiness was at present bound
up in the success of our armies and fleets, we ought to
take care to do nothing by word or deed which might in
the slightest degree impede our progress to that end.
(Cheers.) .
On the motion of Bailie Wiesose, who presided, a
vote of confidence in Mr. Bouverie was unanimously
passed.

PULIVE INTALLIGP,NCE—Itiov, 14.

MANSION-MOUSE. —M a‘ y 'Callan, and .Harriet
Tar-ant, v tre broogfd het r•-• he 1,..rd Alaypr charged
under the-todowing• ctroutnaf:Ances. Mr. Peacock,' the
solicit(ir 10-the-Post.office, attended to watch the case.

Mr. Berry, clerk in the public drawing-office 'of the
Bark of England,•said---This morning, about half-past
nine: o'clock, the prisoners carne together to the public
drawing-officecand Cal,,n presented to me the blanch
bill at seven days produced for 621. 15s. 5d., which was
due this day. We • bad received information of the
loss of the bill, and I found that it was not en-
dorsed. I asked them if they knew the parties (Messrs.
Hall and Co.) They said no, they did not. I asked
them from whom they brought the bill, and Callan told
me she brought it from a person of the name of Bun-
yard, with whom she stated she had formerly lived as
servant. I asked his address. She said it was in the
City-road, but she could not tell ins any address, or any
particulars, except that she thought it was at a carpet
warehouse. I took them to_ the secretary's office, and
the officer was sent for.

John Spitile (detective) said—Upon being sent for to
the secretary's. office this morning, I showed Callan the
bill produced in the presence of the other prisoner, and
asked her if she presented it for payment. She said,
Yes, and that she had been sent with it by a Mr. Bun-
yard, of the City road, with whom she had formerly
lived servant. I asked her name and address, and she
said, "Mary Cross, No. 34, Foley-street, Oxford-street."
I then took them both into cu-tudy. 'no other prisoner
gave the name of Harriet Tarrant, No. 16, Great E -
ward-street, Regent's-park. When we got outside the
office, Callan said, "I'll tell you the truth: I was not
going to tell them inside." Pointing to Tarrant, she
said, "Her husband picked it up last night, and they
came to nib this morning with -the bill." Tarrant sail
to me that was correct, and that she had given Callan
the note at the police-station. Callan gave me an empty
purse, and said she bad it from Tarrant to put the money
in. I have ascertained that the bill was lost in its trans-
mission through the post. They both told me their hus-
bands were waiting outside the Bank, but I could not
find them..

The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoners.
Ann Ri-hton was charged with having stolen a dish.
Mr. Solomon appeared for the prisoner, who is a young
woman of respectable appearance.

Policeman 129 H said—Last evening, at a quarter be-
fore 6 o'clock, as I was going over London-bridge, I saw
the prisoner with two other women. She left the other
women and overtook a van that was passing before her,
and she reached her hand into the'van and took out this
dish. I spoke to a city constable, who went and stopped
the van, and I saw the prisoner join the other two fe-
males,-and heard her tell them that she bad taken a dish
from the van ' • upon which one of them said that she
would have a dish alio, and ran on to the van. I took
the prisoner into custody, and found the dish under her
shawl. The young man who drove the van then came
and said he would not give her in charge, but I refused
to let her go. She said it was a practical joke.
Upon his cross-examination the witne-s said the wo-
men had been laughing and joking together, but he con•
sidered it to be his duty to take the prisoner, whom he
saw take the dish, into custody.
Mr. Solomon submitted that his client had no feloni-
ous intention, as must have been obvious from the de-
scription of the whole proceedings.
The husband of the prisoner made his appearance, and
seemed to be much affected. He stated that it was im-
possible that his wife could have had any bad object in
playing so' unaccountable a part in the public streets,
and that his circumstances, if there were no other reason
for supposing that it was a joke, placed her above sus-
picion of dishonesty.

The Lord Mayorhaving inquired whether the prisoner
appeared to be under the influence of drink at the time,
and having been informed that she seemed to be per-
fectly in her senses, told her that she bid made a dan-
gerous experiment as a "practical joke," which might
have thrown her into a very disgraceful embarrass-
ment. lii t lordship, in discharging her, hoped that the
lesson she had received, enforced by her husband's ad-
monition, would prevent her from any further joking of
the kind.

The Lord Mayer requested that the press would ac-
knowledge his receipt of a 51. Bank of England note
;rom " M.E.R." for the poor-boy.

GUILDHALL.—Mr. Bernard Lintott, of Muscovy-
court, Tower-hill, was sninmoned before Sir R. W. Car-
den by Major Henry Court, under the Small Tenement
Act, to show cause why he should not give up possession
of certain premises situated as above. Mr. Weston ap-
peared for Major Court and Ir. Buchanan for Mr. Lin-
tott.

Mr. Joyce said, in April last Mr. Lintott applied to
him to let him an office at No. 4, Muscovy-court, and
he allowed him to take, possession of the premises on
condition that May/. Court was satisfied with his refer-
ence. The major, on being applied to, answered that if
Lintott would pay half a quarter's rent in advance, and
sign an agreement to quit. at three months' notice, he
would accept him as tenant. To this the defendant ob-
jected, and having possession of the office refused to pay
in advance, or sign the agreement. He had, however,
subsequently pail the half quarter's rent, but never
agreed to go out at three months' notice. Notice had
been served on defendant to give up the premises, as he
was only a tenant on sufferance. The defendant refused
to quit, claiming the ordi'.-nary notice.
Mr. Weston contended that that evidence was suffi-
cient to show that he had obtained possession of the office
subject to certain conditions, which conditions he bad
never complied with, and vas therefore no regular tenant
of Major Court's, but only a tenant on sufferance.
Mr. Buchanan submitted that there was no evidence
to show that his client.was. anything but an ordinary
tenant, and entitled to six.months' notice.

Mr. Lintott said•he took the premises subject to his
references being satisfactory to Major Court, and that
after he was in possession Me. Joyce tendered him an
agreement for a lease, by which he was to go out of pos-
session at three mouths' notice. He refused to sign it,
and gave it back to Mr. Joyce. •
Sir R. W. Carden said, from the evidence produced on
both sides, he -did' not think he should be justified in
making the order asked for.

BOW-STREET.—Charles Buckwell, a boy of about
15 years of age, with a precociously fierce and deter-
mined expression, of countenance, was brought up on
remand, charged with inflicting a severe wound with a
chisel on a man named Thomas Clarke.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Burridge,
pianoforte maker, working by contract for Messrs. Oetz-
mann and Plumb, in Chenies-street, Tottenham-court-
road, that the injured man was in his service, and the
prisoner in that of Mr. Plumb. On the 2,1 November,
they were at work in the came room, anti a dispute arose
between them about the use 'of a stool, which Clarke
required-to sit on at his work, and which the prisoner
refused to give up, though it was placed there for the
use of the men and the pris,),er had no right to it, and
no occasion f.r it. At last Clarke, being unable to pro-
ceed with his work without the stool, took it by force,
and boXed the 13"y's ears. The prisoner then seized the
chisel and flung it at Clarke, striking ,him below the
knee, Clarke fell to the ground, and his companions,
coming to his assistance, found him quite unable to
stand. They' carried him to the Middlesex Hospital,
where he still lies.

A certificate from the• surgeon was now handed in to
the effect that it was impossible for Clarke to he brought
to the court at p r,esent, and that in all probability •he
would never recover the Use of the limb, which it was
even feared must t•te amputated.
'Mr. Herring, wh o appeared for the prisoner, said that
the boy had already 'been severely punished by the men-
tal suffering he had iindpred.
Mr. Jardine had ilo commiseration for him ; it was
one of the worst vases. lie had ever beard. He must be
again remanded until Clarke could attend.
