CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition against
further endowments to the Church of Scotland.

BENEFICES PLURALITIES BILL.
A Message from the Commons brought up this Bill, as also
the Suitors' of the Court of Chancery Bill, as also the Dudley
and Killinghall Road Bill, and the Edinburgh and Glas-
gow Railway Bill (agreeing to amendments made by
the Lords.) This Bill is one of the largest we
ever remember seeing; the Earl of Shaftesbury (who oc-
cupied the Woolsack in the absence of the Lord Chancellor)
had great difficulty in carrying the Bill, according to the
usual custom, from the bar to the Woolsack.
NEW MODE OF EXTINGUISHING FIRE.
Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from a Rev.
Mr. Jenkins, stating that he had discovered a new method of
speedily extinguishing fire.
NEGRO SLAVERY. _ _

The Earl of YARBOROUGH presented a petition from
Ryde, Isle of Wight, against Negro Slavery.
POOR LAWS.

Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from the
Guardians of the Poor Law Union of St. George's,
Southwark, against the New Poor Law. Also a similar
petition from Ashton-under-Lyne. In presenting this pe-
tition, the Noble Earl said it was not true, as had been
stated, that the Rev. Mr. Stevens of that town had used in-
flammatory language in regard to the Poor-law. The Noble
and Learned opposite (Lord Brougham) had used language
more inflammatory, if not treasonable, on some occasions.
Lord BROUGHAM—My Lords, I did not think I should
have lived to be charged with using treasonable language.—
(Laughter.) It is quite untrue that I ever made an inflam-
matory harangue to the people of Birmingham, as it has
been stated. I never stopped in that great town longer
than to change horses ; nor did I ever say—as it has been
imputed to me—that I hoped to live to see the day when the
heads of kings should be made footballs for little boys to kick
along the streets !—(Loud laughter.) I leave to your Lord-
ships to say whether that is my usual way of expressing myself
on any subject.—( Hear.)
NEGRO SLAVERY.

Earl RIPON asked if the Colonial Secretary had received
information that the Legislature of Saint Vincent's had
agreed to a Bill for emancipating the Negro Apprentices
in that island on the Ist August, and if there would be any
objection to lay such information before the House ?
Lord GLENELG replied that he had received such in-
formation, and would have no objection to the production of
all papers on the subject.
Lord BROUGHAM expressed his unfeigned satisfaction
at this intelligence, and inquired if the Legislature of Jamaica
had not manifested a similar disposition ?
Lord GLENELG answered that he understood this to be
the case.
Lord BROUGHAM trusted the Ministry would do all
in their power to accelerate so desirable a consummation as the
voluntary emancipation of all the slaves throughout the British
colonies : so that at the approaching ceremony of the Corona-
tion, if possible, the august Sovereign of these realms might
feel the happy consciousness that she indeed reigned over a
free empire.—( Hear, bear.)

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Lord John Russell, in his Address to his Constituents of Devonshire,
used language which has always been interpreted to mean that
he would support the Ballot if the landowners continued their reek.
less course of intimidation. They have since carried it further
than before, and the friends of the Ballot did look on Lord John
Russell, till the begir.ning of this session, as in a manner pledged to
try that remedy.

THE CROPS IN IRELAND.

The Dublin Evening Post, a paper that may be considered
high authority on the subject of agriculture, in a long and able
article on the Harvest, states the gratifying fact that " Now,
at the present moment, there perhaps was never such a
pr osnect of an abundant harvest as there is in Ireland."—
Wc have now before us" (continues our contemporary)
" a letter from a Nobleman, than whom there is not a bet-
ter practical farmer in Ireland, from which we shall give the
following extract
On a tour through the midland counties, Kildare, Meath,
Longford, and Cavan, I hare found the present appearance of
the crops luxuriant and promising to an almost unexampled
degree, and as yet not a stalk is broken or laid. The weather,
however, is unfavourable, the bay badly saved, and ripening
retarded for want of sun and genial warmth.'
We may add, that this statement is corroborated by com-
munications received from various parts of the country. In
one worJ, should the weather clear up within a week—but we
would not extend the hypothesis much further—the country
will be blessed with abundance. Perhaps, however, there
never has been a more critical fortnight in respect to food than
the next will be."
Towards tl:e conclusion of the article to which we refer, we
find that our authority is apprehensive that "with all the
efforts which have been made to meet the pressure, a very
severe
season of scarcity is at hand. Under the most fav6ura-
ble predictions, we must, perforce, calculate upon a late
harvest. This is now certain—there is, in truth, no closing
our eyes to this. The harvest will be five or six week's late.
Of course the stock of home grown corn is still considerable,
and
so it ought, to use an Irish idiom in a sense somewhat dif-
ferent to the usual acceptation, for the eight or nine hundred
thousand quarters of Foreign Grain in bond a month ago, is
only equal to one week's consumption.

to 1265. ; New, 755. to 1055. ; Straw, 425. to 455. per load.

SPIRIT MARKET.
Corn Spirits are 10s. 2d. per gallon still. Rum is quiet again, and
proof Leewards are not worth more than 2s. SO. ; Brandy and Geneva
without variation.
TALLOW MARKET.

P.Y.C. to arrive is 465. 6d. ; andon the spot 475. 9d., and but little
doing.

COLONIAL MARKETS,

These great departments of business continue quiet, bordering on
dullness, and all the business transacted is done at public sale. B. P.
Sugar goes off rather slowly at about the rates of last week. In refined
goods there is nothing fresh. To-day we had a small public sale of 1,709
bags Mauritius Sugar, and 327 bags of Bengal, which sold at their former
value. Coffee, 108 Casks B. B. and 310 bags Ceylon, yielded previous
quotations at public sale. Rice, 800 bags East India, fetched its
former advanced rates. Some small parcels of Ginger, Mace, and
Nutmegs, sold at their former worth, but the sales were without
spirit. 800 baskets Saltpetre sold briskly at previous market prices.
For to-morrow we have public sales of 66 tierces and barrels Jamaica
Coffee; 50 bags Pimento; 66 casks Jamaica Ginger, and 338 bags
Spanish Wool. The imports to. day, up to the time we wentt to press,
were light. The Colonial Markets aro now in about as quiet and
uniform a state as ever we knew them.

PEDESTRIANISM.

GRXAT MATCH FOR 500 GIIINEA fo-morrm morning,
Molloy, the celebrated pedestrian (who accomplished the herculean
task of walking 1,250 miles in 1,000 successive hours a short time
since on Bromley Common) commences performing another match
for 500 guineas, in Hall's Cricket-ground, at Camberwell, to walk
1,000 miles in 1,000 successive half-hours. Betting is to a consi-
derable amount against the performance ; and for the purpose of
satisfying those persons who have wagers pending, the gates of the
cricket-ground are to be kept open, day and night, so that at any
hour they may have the opportunity of witnessing him walking.
Should he succeed in performing the,. task, it will rival any on the
rce3rds of pedestrianism.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET.-Aug. 11.

Our supply of Wheat from the growers was only moderate at this
day's market, but the coasting arrivals continue large; however, the
factors all held their samples at very high rates, which our millers would
not accede to, and consequently few or no sales were effected ; but the
farmer's samples were cleared off at an advance of 3s. per quarter, on
last Saturday's prices. Barley being exceedingly scarce, fresh thrashed
parcels commanded very high terms. Oats were in fair supply, from
the country as well as coastwise, and prices remained without alteration.
Malt met a fair sale at our quotations. Rye was Is. per quarter dearer.
In the value of other Grain we can note little change. Flour is in good
supply, and previous to this day's market brought 2s. per sack more
money, but 60s. per sack is now demanded for the best Norfolk and
Suffolk Households.

SWITZERLAND.

( From the Correspondent of the Times.)
LUCERNE, Atm. 0.--,-The discussion on the note of the
Duke de Montebello, demanding the expulsion of Prince
Louis Napoleon, took place to-day in the Diet. The Presi-
dent, before opening the discussion, observed, that if the As-
sembly had not been in Session, the Vorort should have con-
fined itself to transmitting the note to the Government of
Thurgovia, and recommended the Diet to adopt the same
course.
The debate was opened by M. Kern, the Deputy of Thur-
govia. lie said, that although he was furnished with no spe-
cial instructions oe the subject, yet the general powers he had
received fully authorised him to give a vote on the demand
of the French Government, which was so exorbitant that he
should be wanting in his duty if he did not qualify it as it de-
served before it was ri-ferred to the States. He would not
enter into an examination of the events of Strasburg ; but
this was not a question of persons, it was a question of
principles of the most momentous importance for anation, since
France called on the Diet to expel a Swiss citizen. The speaker
then informed the Diet of the circumstances which accom-
panied the settlement of the Duchess of St. Leu in the can-
ton of Thurgovia, and described her peaceable life, her bene-
volence, and unbounded charity. The people of the country
she inhabited had felt so grateful to her that they granted her
son the freedom of the district, and the Grand Council, moved
by the same feeling, completed the favour by spontaneously
conferring upon the young Prince the rights of cit:zens'nip.
By that Act, dated 1832, he acquired the civil and political
privileges enjoyed by the natives of the canton ; he became
eligible to every office under the state, and the Government of
Thurgovia bound itself to aff ird him the protection to which all
other citizens are entitled. The 90th article of the Constitution
provides, that citizens shall enjoy the same rights. The Prince is
placed under the protection of that priociple, and the Govern._
ment of Thurgovia cannot consequently acquiesce in the demand
d an
of France. The conclusum of 1836, he said, was not applicable
to this •case. ' Louis Napoleon was a
ea r
Swiss citizen,ege.e,the
and-
not a foreign refugee, and even were h
pretensions of France would not be more admissible.

rights of nations and international law couldthe

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—FRIDAY, Atrousr 10.

The Assizes for the Southern division of the County com-
menced here this morning. The cal_endar is heavy. Ten
persons stand charged with murder, and twelve with man-
slaughter, in cases involving the death of eleven individuals.
There are four cases of cutting and maiming, and one of rape.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HAT7'ON-GARDEN.

On Saturday Alexander Ingram, James Philippe, and John
Craig, who described themselves as medical men, were
brought before Mr. Withara, under the following circum-
stances :—Mr. Charles Hook, of 12, Museum-street, Blooms-
bury, said that at half-past two o'clock in the morning he
was awoke by such a violent knocking at his door as to sup-
pose that his house. was on fire, and before he could get to
the window he heard a similar noise at the doors on each
side of him, which tended to confirm his apprehensions. Af-
ter a little difficulty, for he scarcely knew what he was about,
he threw up the sash of his window, and saw the prisoners
running from door to door, and with both hands driving
away at other knockers. At this time the utmost confusion
appeared in every house, windows being thrown up in rs:pid
succession, and the inmates exhibiting themselves 'Ai their
night clothes, as much alarmed as ho was, am) crying out
\Vhat's the matter?" " Police !" &c., whicl'. soon brought
sever al officers to the spot, by whom, of er much resistance,
the prisoners were captured.
lie their defence the prisoners said it was done by mistake ;
thee thonglA they were at their own homes.
Mr. WiTnAm_Then I will see if 1 cannot cure you of such
mistakes. You will find bail, and give twelve hours' notice of
it, to answer the charge at the sessions.
The defendants, who appcar'd quite chop-fallen, were im-
mediately taken chatie of by Waddington, the gaoler, by
whom, in the course or an hour, they were taken to the New
Prison.

THE HOUSELESS POOR.

An asylum has been established this summer at Glasgow,
which exemplifies in an extraordinary degree how much good
may be done with little means. The number of poor persons
found huddled together at night in the neighbourhood of
steam-engines, brick-161.n5, even in common stairs, and in the
open air, for want of a home, attracted the attention of a few
humane individuals, who formed themsielves into a Society for
the purpose of affording shelter to the houseless poor ; and
during the five weeks that the plan has been in operation pro.
tection has been given to about 4,000 persons, of whom 3,000
were women, or girls under sixteen years of age 1 The
Treasurer of the Society calculates that more than 40,000
persons in this destitute condition may find a temporary home
for the night, and a supply of food, for the trifling sum of 5001.
a year, or at the rate of 3d. a head for bed and board.
Many of those unfortunate creatures are driven to this
necessity from being disappointed in getting employment, and
not a few of the.boys and girls from the bad treatment of their
parents. Temporary relief, however, is not the only benefit
conferred by this Socidty, for the Members of the Committee
make diligent inquiry into all the difficulties and wants of
these outcasts, and either find employment, or furnish those
who are mechanics with tools or instruments fitted for their
occupations. It would be difficult to find an instance of so
much suffering relieved at so small an expense. The weekly
publication of that par nubile fratrum of Edinburgh, after
giving a description of this asylum, concludes with the follow-
ing humane advice :

Let other cities, both from humane and prudential motives,
think of these things. Let them turn to their police records,
and note how many unhappy homeless beings fly to these
places for the cold shelter they can's supply—let them think
how many more shiver through the night in corners—and then
let them not delay in providing a nightly refuge for the house-
less. In London, Manchester,: and Liverpool, establishments
of this nature have for some years been in existence, and we
believe_in every instance with the most beneficial results, both
as regards the diminution of the sum of human misery, and
the preservation of rthe public peace."

THE MARKETS:-(THIS DAY)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The return of arrivals of both Grain and Flour last week were small,
and in the course of the waek every article manifested indications of
improvement in prices. • This morning the fresh supply of Wheat was
good, but of all other corn limited. In consequence of considerable
advances in Wheat at many of the Country Markets, the Factors asked
very high prices here today, but the weather being very favourable,
the buyers hesitated to purchase, and the sales effected were about the
same terms as on Friday last, or 3s. per quarter higher than la,t Mon-
day. Barley is scarce, and ‘24. per quarter dearer. Beans and Peas are
each advanced 2s per quarter. The demand for Oats cratinues good,
and this article, in consequence of the limited quantity at Market, is full
2s. per quarter higher than this day se'nuight. The sale of Flour con-
tinues good, but the millers have not advanced the top price to-day.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—MArDsTOKE, Aua. 10.
COPPOCK V. BOWER.

This was an action on an I 0 U for 500/. The defendant,
besides pleading that he never was indebted, and a plea of
fraud and covin on the part of the plaintiff, also put on the
record two special pleas, by the first of which he resisted the
plaintiff's claim on the ground that the 1 0 U was given to
the plaintiff in consideration of an unlawful and corrupt agree-
ment connected with the return of John Minet Fector as
Member of Parliament for the borough of Maidstone ; and
the second plea stated that the I 0 U was given to the plain-
tiff upon the consideration that in the event of Mr. Fector's
offering himself again to represent the borough, after his
former election had been declared void by a Committee of the
House of Commons, no other candidate should receive the
support of the Liberal electors of Maidstone, and that no pe-
tition should be presented or prosecuted impeaching his re-
turn; but that in violation of this agreement, when Mr. Fec-
tor offered himself again to the electors, there was a candidate
on the Liberal interest, and that the return of Mr. Fector was
petitioned against.
The Hon. Mr. LAW observed that his duty on behalf of the
plaintiff, in the first instance, was at once short and simple.
He had merely to prove an I 0 U for 500/., in the hand-
writing of the defendant. The defendant, however, said in
effect that the document he held in his hand was quite a mis-
take ; that it should be read " I don't owe'you.—( A laugh.)
He should leave it to his learned friends on the other side,
however, to open their battery, and endeavour, if they could,
to blow up the little paper he now held ; and should here-
after trouble the jury by discussing how far they had suc-
ceeded in their attempt.
The I 0 U (the handwriting of which was admitted under
a judge's order) was then put in and read, and the plaintiff's
counsel stated that the plaintiff closed his case.
Mr. TIIESSIGER then addressed the jury for the defendant.
After which, Mr. Justice PATTISON left the case to the
jury, who, without quitting the box, returned a verdict for the
defendant.
