AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS BILL.
The house then went into committee upon this bill,
Mr. W. PATTEN in the chair.
On Clause 1,
Mr. BARROW proposed an amendment to the effect
that the power of justices should be limited to their
acting in open petty sessions.
Mr. FITZROY said the amendment would entirely
defeat the object of the bill, which was to give the ma-
gistrate power to adjudicate upon a case when the in-
juries sustained by the woman were recent. If the
amendment were agreed to it would occasion delay, and
the result would be that in nine cases out of ten; the
woman would not come forward.
Mr. HENLEY was opposed to a man being con-
demned except in a court where he could have an oppor-
tunity of obtaining legal advice.
After a few words in explanation from Mr. BARROW,
Captain SCOBELL objected to the extraordinary
power which the clause would confer on the magistrates.
Mr. PACKE said the same power was already given
to magistrates with regard to offenders charged with
having stolen fruit and vegetables.
After some further discussion,
Mr. BARROW withdrew his amendment.
Mr. STAPLETON rose to propose an amendment,
having for its purpose to give this power to magistrates
in all cases of aggravated assaults, without regard to the
sex or age of the person assaulted.
Mr. FITZROY said that this bill was intended to
meet a particular kind of assault, and any provision,
therefore, having reference to the whole subject of as-
saults in general, could not consistently be introduced
into it.
Mr. W. PATTEN said that it was not competent to
introduce any provision having reference to other as-
saults than those upon women and children.
The amendment was then withdrawn.
Mr. PHINN rose to propose amendments for the pur-
pose of giving the magistrate the power of inflicting cor-
poral punishments on persons guilty of these assaults. He
contended that these assaults were of a nature quite worthy
of this kind of punishment, and it was the opinion of
magistrates in the metropolis that there would'be no end
to these offences unless the legislature gave them the
power of inflicting corporal punishment. There was cer-
tainly a strong feeling against corporal punishment, but
he believed from past experience that the power of in-
flicting it would be used with great discretion by the
magistrates. He proposed to accompany the power
with a proviso that this punishment should not be in-
flieted before eight days conviction, and that in 24 hours
-after the conviction the depositions should be transmitted
:to the dlome-office, in order to give the friends of the
'prisoner an opportunity of making an appeal against the
( conviction if they wished.
Mr. FITZROY objected to the amendment on the
ground that it was quite inconsistent with the feeling of ,
the present age and the spirit of modern legislation.
Such punishments had always a brutalising effect upon
the commnnity among whom they were inflicted. He
thought, too, that the enacting of such punishment
would have the effect of deterring 'the persons who suf-
fered these assaults from bringing forward complaints.
Mr. NEWDEGATE said nothing could stop the '
- force of public opinion, and the more directly Parl'a
ment.met these cases the more contented the public I
would be. He should therefore support the amend- '
merit.
Captain SCOBELL was sorry to disagree with his
learned colleague, but Ile could not support this clause.
He was 'afraid his hon. and learned friend had never
siva a man cogged, or be would not propose to resort to

"A larger amount of business than usual has occurred
in foreign securities. The character of transactions
shows that low priced descriptions have been principally
purchased. Spanish Unfunded Certificates and Greek
ex over-due Coupons have been favourities, and the rise
they have experienced have been well supported. The
reason of the favourable change in both cases may be
traced to almost parallel circumstances. Spanish Certi-
ficates, it is stated, are to be admitted at the rate of 10
per cent. in the proposed new loan, and hence up to
they have found free buyers, although they are scarcely
so high at this moment. With respect to Greek, the
quotation of which has been supported at 9, negotiations
for the introduction of railway enterprise into the coun-
try have, it is believed, been made, the terms of which
stipulate for a recognition of these bonds at a fixed
value. Those who were acquainted with the proposals
bought largely, at prices varying from 7 to BA, but at 9
these transactions have apparently stopped, and it is
therefore presumed that the maximum point has been
nearly reached. Spanish Stocks generally have been
operated in to some extent, but the certificates have
clrried away the chief of the business. The Three per
Cents. are 48/ to 49, the New Deferred 241 to 25, and
the Passive 51 to 6. Mexican, under the most dis-
couraging appearances of affairs in that republic, have
not fluctuated violently, but the extreme advance has
not been supporters. The speculators for the fall have
not recently had the courage to continue their trans-
actions, having already suffered severely from previous
losses, and the market consequently has been relieved
from any such adverse operations. The latest quotation
is 251 to 261. Ecuador has steadily advanced,
until it has touched 51 to 6. No definite arrange-
ment has, it seems, been come to for a settlement of
claims, the commissioner having been compelled to re-
fuse the terms offered ; but the alleged discovery of gold
within the precincts of the Government has awakened a
hope that if such resources exist they will expedite an
arrangement. New Grenada and Venezuela arc also
better, quiet purchases having been made by individuals
who consider that the development of various kinds of
enterprise in these localities cannot fail before long to
have an influence upon their credit. Russian were con-
siderably affected by the apprehension of hostilities with
Turkey. Both the five and the four-and--a-half per cents.
dropped directly the intimation was conveyed, and the
decline was indeed the precursor of the panic that then
took place. A range of fluctuations in these stocks,
equal to 3 per cent., is an event seldom witnessed, and,
as long as the least apprehension was entertained, bar-
gains were concluded for a large amount. The quota-
tions have since recovered, and they are respectively 118
to 119 and 103 to 104. Singular as it may appear, it is
nevertheless true, that Turkish scrip, in the midst of this
excitement, suffered no depression. On the contrary, it
was throughout firmly maintained, and subsequenty went
up from 1/ to 2/, upon an arrangement of the demands
of the bondholders having, it is said, been'-agreed to.
Although it is understood an attempt is being made to
re-orgarise the Bank of Constantinople, difficulties may
yet interfere to prevent the realisation of the plans con-
templated. The price has since become weaker, no offi-
cial announcement having been made, and is about 2 to
23/4 prem. Swedish continues heavy at 2to 13/4- discount,
and were it not largely held as an investment, would
show a further decline. Danish; Dutch, and Brazilian
have exhibited little alteration. Buenos Ayres, owing
to the contending factions which divide the Government,
have again receded, and may be quoted 58s. to 60s.
Peruvian scrip came out at 3 premium, subsequently
advanced to 54-, and is now quoted 3i to 4 premium."
The Land Companies Shares have been neg-
lected, and there is no disposition to invest in
them.

A batch of upwards of twenty cab drivers attended to
answer summonses taken out against them by order of
Sir Richard Mayne, for violation of the regulations pro-
mulgated by him as Commissioner of Police, in leaving
their cabs unattended on the stand at Kennington•cross.
The defence set up by many of the defendants was
that the regulations of Sir Richard Mayne were so strin-
gent that it was quite impossible they could comply with
them. One man said that he had been on the rank for
seven hours, and was merely obeying a call of nature
when his number had been taken.

MANCHESTER, APRIL s.—Our market has exhibited
no change of any consequence, as compared with the
state of things at the date of our last report. As in
Liverpool, so in Manchester, there is a prevailing steadi-
ness at the rates which were obtainable after the excite-
ment of the earlier and middle portions of the week had
subsided.

ROCHDALE, APRIL 4.—We have had a steady demand
for goods, and the manufacturers are obtaining rather
better prices for these pieces. The low and middle
qualities of English wools are very scarce, and their
prices rather firmer. The wool dealers have very light
stocks on hand at present, and are quite out of sorts.
HALIFAx, APRIL 2.—The aspect of trade in our piece
hall is pretty much the same to-day as was noted in our
last report ; and there is no noticeable alteration in
either the yarn or the wool market. Large contracts
for yarn have been offered at the present prices, but the
spinners have declined taking them, as those prices entail
positive loss.
BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 4.—The preliminary meeting of
the South Staffordshire iron trade was held at Wolver-
hampton on Thursday last, and terminated in a declara-
tion of the followinft prices for the ensuing quarter,
namely, 101. per ton for bars.and rods, ill. for hoops,
and 121. for sheets, being a nominal redkicti94 upOn
each description of iron of 20e, per ton.

Mr. Conlin, the inspector of the L division, in whose
name the summonses had been taken out, admitted to
the magistrate that there was a considerable improve-
ment on the different stands in the district since the
commissioner's orders had been given out ; upon which
the defendants (having promised to employ proper per-
sons to take care of their cabs when they were obliged
to be absent) were merely ordered to pay the expense of
the summonses.

THAMES.—Two children, named John Bryan and
Daniel Sullivan, each nine years of ago, whose heads
scarcely reached above the dock, were charged with
stealing a piece of brass, value two shillings, forming
part of the outer window railing of the shop of Mr.
Croucher, chemist, 123, High-street, Shadwell. The lads
were seen skulking in the vicinity by a person named
Hatch, residing in the same street, and whose employer
had been plundered in the same manner. When taken
into custody., the brass bar, the removal of which re-
quired some ingenuity, and showed practised hands, was
found upon them. The prisoner Bryan was pale and
attenuated, and, as well as Sullivan, appeared utterly
unconscious of any offence.
Bryan said, when taken into custody he was asked
whether he had any father or mother.

Mr. Yardley—Well, my poor lad, I must ask you the
same question. Have you ? Bryan—No, sir ; I lost
both.

Mr. Yardley—And where do live now ? Bryan—With
my aunt, sir, at Orchard-row, Matcliff.

Mr. Yardley—You lookyale ; do you ever get a full
meal ? Bryan—A what, Kr
Mr. Yardley—Do you ever get enough to eat ? Pri-
soner, sometimes; not often, sir.
Mr. Yardlesk(to Sullivan)—Where do you live ? Sul-
livan—With My father and mother, sir.

Mr. Yardley—• What is he ?—Bryan--He keeps a rag-
shop, sir.
Mr. Yardley—Yes, one of those pestilential nuisances
which are the greatest incentives to crime in the world.
A constable stated that the person alluded to lived at
Stone-stairs, Radcliff, and had been at this court before
in connection with similar casas.
Mr. Yardley said it was a melancholy case, and asked
Bryan where he had been borne ; to which the latter
replied that he had been born in Paris's-court, Rateliff,

which a person can be seen and known one mile and a

the opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 33 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's fing, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a per-
son's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an
object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every other
kind for the waistcoat pocket, and aro of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and race-

deaf persons to hear disti 'nctly at church and at public as-

ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons,
