th 01„,..11e,n0e of war, has been regained to-day, chiefly

has also exercised a favourable influence upon the

Pitl:dening tendency is perceptible in some yarns.

teaoa'-',PRitspiziai, August 9.—There is still a good de-
to' for suitable goods, and rather more has been done
nexuarrkehall this morning, having had a few buyers in the

Mr. LOWE decidedly should object to any such propo-
sition. (Hear, hear, and divide.)
The clause was negatived without a division.
'Lord D. STUART moved a clause to the effect that an
appeal be given the cab proprietors from the decision of
the police magistrate. The noble lord said that everybody
was dissatisfied with this hasty and ill-considered legisla-
tion. If they had allowed the bill to go before a commit-
tee, as was suggested, an efficient measure, which would
have given all parties satisfaction, would have been
produced. He proposed that an appeal iu respect to
the refusal of licence should be made to the quarter ses-
sions, with a proviso that the refusal to grant a licence
shall be valid pending the appeal. In respect to the
decision of a police magistrate upon a single complaint
against a driver, an appeal shall also be granted on
the party giving forty-eight hours' notice of appeal,
and producing two sureties for double the amount of the
penalty, as well as for the amount of costs. He thought
it but fair that the same justice which was given to the
drivers and owners of vehicles in Dublin should be also
given to the same classes in London.
Mr. SPOONER seconded the motion.
Mr. LOWE objected to those clauses, because they had
been fully considered by the committee, and disapproved
of. He apprehended that this appeal would in effect be a
repeal of the provisions of the act ; for any gentleman
would submit to extortion rather than subject himself to
the ordeal of such an appeal as was proposed.
Mr. I. BUTT confessed he had a very strong opinion in
favour of granting an appeal, and he thought that it
should be a very strong case that would induce the house
to refuse one. The appeal was given in Dublin, and he
could not understand why it should be refused in London.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, AUG. 2.
Commander Wolrige, of the Inflexible, after a painful
illness, is no more. His state of health was sufficiently
alarming to give uneasiness to his friends, but the fatal
termination was not anticipated so suddenly. Removed
from the ship when she went into dock to make good
the repairs necessitated, by being run into by a brig she
had in tow a few days before (the Inflexible having
taken the ground off the Barber's Point), he survived
iut a few days.
Vice-Admiral Dundas has filled up the vacancy by
appointing his First-Lieutenant, George O. Popplewell,
to the rank of Commander, and giving to his mate, Mr.
Henderson, the commission of Lieutenant.
H. E. L. P. Bailey, clerk of the Albion, has received
an acting appointment of Purser to the Furious steam-
frigate.
£he fleets of England and France are still at anchor
in the Bay of Besika. "Our only amusement," says a
private letter, " consists of fishing and shooting. Never
was there a duller or more stupid place—hot, unhealthy,
uninteresting. I wish we could only get away."
The Triton has gone up to the fleet. She left us on
Saturday. evening with dispatches from England, re-
ceived by the Indus and Sultan, via Southampton and
Marseilles.
Lieutenant W. R. Bent, of the Vengeance, died yes-
;erday morning in the hospital at Bighi. The brave
Fellow received his promotion quite recently for his gal-
lantry in an action with a slaver off Lagos.

PEMBROKE, AUG. 8.

Her Majesty's :hip Caesar was last evening, after re-
peated trials, sent afloat. The camels, which were con-
structed to carry about 1,800 tons, were placed under
her on Saturday morning, and on Saturday evening, by
dint of great exertions, she was moored astern about
10 feet, and then she stopped. She was tried again on
Sunday morning, when she moved about 38 feet more,
but so great was the strain on the new 18-inch cable
which was used in heaving her off that it broke like a
piece of packthread. On Sunday evening a heavy strain
was hove on everything, and, as the tide rose, she
started, and finally was hauled off at 20 minutes past
6 o'clock. The injury done to her is but trifling ; her
sheer, which was rather hogged, has now gone back to
its original shape. She will be taken into dock on
Tuesday morning, to be rigged and sent to have her
engines put on hoard.

WOOLWICH, AUG. 8.

APPOINTMENTS.

MALICIOUS WOUNDING.

James Bancroft, 47, and Matthew Booth, 27, were in-
dicted for maliciously wounding Joseph Hatton, at
Mottram, with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
It appeared from the evidence that on the 6th of July
last the prosecutor found the two prisoners near a pit,
upon the estate of the Rev. Mr. Wright, at Mottram,
engaged in setting nets. He, as gamekeeper to the rev.
gentleman, went up to them, and demanded from them
their business there. Instead of replying, both imme-
diately attacked the prosecutor, and beat him so severely
that his life was in danger, and from the effects of which
he has not yet recovered.
The prisoners were both found guilty, and the learned
judge, after a severe admonition, sentenced them to 15
years' transportation.
THROWING A STONE AT A RAILWAY TRAIN.—Owen
Clutten, 20, was indicted for having wilfully and mali-
ciously thrown a stone at a railway train upon the Lon-
don and North-Western Railway, at Basford, with
intent thereby to endanger the safety of the passengers.
The jury found him guilty, and the learned judge,
after commenting upon the dangerous nature of the
offence, by whichjfifty or sixty lives had been jeopardised,
sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for one year.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market was sea-
sonably good, and in excellent condition. For all kinds
the demand was in s very inactive state, at Monday's de-
cline in prices. The transactions for forward delivery
were trifling.
From abroad upwards of 13,000 quarters of wheat have
come fresh to hand.. So little business was doing in that
article that the quotations were almost nominal. Floating
cargoes were in request, at full prices.
Barley, the show of which was but moderate, moved off
slowly, at late rates. In the value of malt no hange took
place.
There was a moderate inquiry for oats, at the late
and flour ruled dull ; in prices, however,
very
decline.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after twelve
o'clock.

PETITIONS.

Mr. HORSFALL presented a petition from a meeting
of members of Chambers of Commerce held in Liverpool,
praying fur the establishment of tribunals of commerce.

- kr.COBBETT presented several petitions from the
manufacturing districts and one from the bleachers of
Scotland in favour of the ten hours bill.

Lord DALKEITH presented a petition from Edin-
burgh against the annuity tax.
Mr. LUCAS presented several petitions from
places in Ireland against the Inspection of Nunneries
Bill.

Mr. A. PELLATT presented petitions from Bilston
and Bolton in favour of the Rights of Labour and the
Peoples Charter.

PUBLIC HEALTH ACT.

Mr. EVELYN. gave notice that next session he
should move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the
Public Health Act.
LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.

Mr. WARNER wished to ask the President of the
Board of Trade, whether it is the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to bring in a bill early next session
to amend the present law of partnership, with a view to
facilitate the formation of companies or partnerships
with limited liability, without the necessity of a charter
or act of incorporation ; and if this is not their intention
then to inquire whether the Government intend to lay
down any or what principle for their future guidance in
giving or refusing charters with limited liability.
Mr. CARDWELL explained that the law as it now
stands, which enabled the Crown to grant charters of
limited liability to companies of a certain descrip-
tion, such as banking and steam ship concerns.
A commission was now investigating the subject, and
the Lord Chancellor was in hopes of being able to obtain
the report of that commission in sufficient time to admit
of his preparing a bill in time for next session. In the
meanwhile the Board of Trade would observe the same
caution that they had hitherto done in granting charters ;
but no one would more rejoice at an amendment of the
existing law than the Board over which he had the
honour to preside.
London, England, 1853-08-10

First Heat.

Alfred Ralph 1
Edward Redknap - 2
F. Styles -
The winner took the lead, and carpe in well ahead.
Styles was permitted to contend in the grand heat,
owing to having been once qualified, :and the donors not
liking to rescind it ; while Redknap' s legitimate claim
was unnoticed, owing to his having lost his colour.
Three others started.

Second Heat.

George Hemmings - 1
George Newman
Four others started. The two Nil inners showed in
front, Newman with, the lead, immediately after the
start, and kept it.

Final Heat.

Ralph
Styles
__.

Hemmings
Newman
Redknap
They were all off at once, and a most beautiful race
followed. Ralph took the lead awl kept it closely
pressed to within two hundred yards ( if Hemmings, who,
being put out of his course by a steam ier, lost the second
place by half a length only, Styles having been close
upon him all the way.

Protestant Alliance on the same plan ? We can
assure him that it would rejoice the hearts of tens
of thousands of suppressed Italian Protestants, aiid
not, as in the case of Tahiti, raise the population
against the foreigners. As to Sweden or Meck-
lenburg, or any persecuting Protestant country,
Lord Joint declared that the Foreign Minister, if
appealed to concerning any case of persecution,
would readily instruct the British Representative
to remonstrate with the Government on a practice
so inconsistent with the maxims of modern civili-
sation. It was overlooked by all in reply to these
taunts of Mr. LUCAS, that Protestants are not one
sect like the Romanists. There is no English
Lutheran Church, for instance. Hence on no par-
ticular class of Protestants here is the disgraceful
brand affixed, that where they have power they
are a persecuting class. But one Foreign Sec-
retary at least has lately shown himself ener-
getic in rescuing from foreign persecution a
member of a Protestant sect with whose
views his Lordship could have little in common.
We were recently informed by a gentleman, who
was himself a part of the deputation, of the effi-
cient manner in which Lord PALMERSTON once did
remonstrate with the Protestant Government of
Hamburg. The deputation were proceeding
thither to obtain the emancipation of Mr. ONCKEN,
who had been imprisoned for teaching Baptist sen-
timents. They waited on Lord PALMERSTON, and
told him their errand ; he received them most
cordially, assured them of his heartiest co-opera-
tion ; and " Gentleman," he added, " I fully ex-
pect you will find it will
not be in vain." Nor
was it. At first the British Consul there shook
his head, but on their showing him the papers
intrusted to them by Lord PALMERSTON, he im-
mediatelyand rightly it did end ; the prisoner was soon at
ed them that all would end right,
this day teaches and preaches his
lipebceulirtya,
anda
rvieswss to assured
Without casting any slight upon
others, we certainly could wish that the whole
affair of the 111AnIlis from beginning to end had
been in the hands of Lord PALMERSTON. Second
to none in zeal for, religious liberty, it is no dis-
paragement to others to affirm, what every
foreigner will corroborate, that the fears of despots,
and the hopes of the oppressed, alike attest him to
be England's just pride as a Foreign Secretary.

NORWICH ELECTION PETITION.

This petition was withdrawn on Friday last, but we are
informed to-day, by a correspondent, that that step was
taken by the agent himself, on his own responsibility,
without the consent of the petitioners. Colonel Dixon,
the unsuccessful Conservative candidate at the last
election, has issued an address, which will be found
below, and a petition will be presented this evening to
the House of Commons, praying that the petition may
be restored to its former place on the list. If our in-
formation be correet, of which we have no doubt, the
House, we are assured, will feel itself bound to dis-
countenance what appears to be a piece of electioneering
jobbing. From letters we have seen, the whole matter
has given-rise to considerable excitement at Norwich.
We learn that the authorities at the Carlton Club repu-
diate all connection with the transaction, and at present
are at a loss to understand the "motives of it.

TO THE CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS OF THE

CITY OF NORWICH.

GENTLEMEN,—It was with the utmost astonishment
that I observed by the morning journals that your peti-
tions against the sitting members for the city of Nor-
wich had been withdrawn. It is, however, highly grati-
fying to me to be informed that this act has been
perpetrated without your knowledge or consent. I
hastened to require Mr. Browne, the Parliamentary
agent, to explain this most unwarrantable proceeding ;
but all that I could learn from him was, that he "had
done it for the good of the party" I 11
Gentlemen, as a candidate for the honour of represent-
ing you in the Commons House of Parliament, I de-
nounce this most scandalous and political piece of jobbery,
compromising as it does your interests and that of the
party to which you belong.
Be assured no effort on my part will be withheld to
obtain the restoration of the petitions to their legitimate
place, for the purpose of having them dealt with by a
Committee of the House of Commons.—l have the
honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
LOTHIAN S. DICKSON.

MONTENEGRO.

Hostilities have recommenced in Montenegro.
On the 4th (says the Trieste Observer) the Turks
set fire to three villages, and, crossing the river
Zeta, arrived in the vale of Biehovitz, at a place
called Kolote. Before starting, Omer Pacha ad-
dressed a parting word to the people of the subju-
gated district of Bielapaolich, in the form of a pro-
clamation in which the epithet " miserable
wretches" is applied to them. The main body of
his army was directed against the Liessanska

nahia. No movement is re-ported as having taken
place in the north. According to the Dalmatian
Observer, there is every prospect of a most san-
guinary struggle, the Turkish commander accom-
panying sacrilege and murder with threats of ex-
tirpation and general massacre ; while the Monte-
negrins are united to a man in the determination
to shed the last drop of their blood in self-defence.
The latest news is contained in the Triester Zeitung,
and dates from Cattaro, Feb. 10. It is a partial
confirmation of the above. George Petrovich had
left the capital for the nahia Rietska, and Prince
Daniel was at Yevo (probably at the head of the re-
spective forces, though the report says nothing of
it). The Kuci border tribes had promised to offer
a firm resistance to any future attack on the part
of the enemy, and the wavering tribes of Piperi
gave the same assurances.
It is now positively known that the mission of
General Leiningen from the Court of Vienna has
failed, and it is said the Sultan will not lisi,en to
the " good offices " of any power until the Monte-
negrins show contrition for the past, and acknow-
ledge the Sovereignty of the Porte. -

BRISTOL AND EXETER.

The report to be presented to the approaching half-
yearly meeting states that the gross traffic receipts upon
the Bristol and Exeter Railway, from the Ist of July to
the 31st of December, 1852 (including the sum of
2,2651: 4s. 7d., received on the Exeter and Creditors
'Railway, and due to the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company), amount to the sum of 129,8211. 2s. 5d.,
'which is 2,1771. 6s. 2d. more than in the corresponding
half or the year 1851. The working expenses, during
the same'periOd, amount to 57,3801. 19s. 4d., or 44.20
per cent. on the grosd receipts, and 623/. 14s. ld. ppr
mile on 92 miles ofrailway. This increase of 10,819/. os.9d.
above the working expenses in 1851, arises chiefly upon
the maintenance of the permament way and the repairs of
locomotive plant, both of which have been very much
improved. The number of passengers is 488,219, conveyed
13,710,025 miles ; but in order to institute a comparison
with the corresponding half of the year 1851, the pas-
sengers on the Exeter and Crediton line, namely, 79,694
conveyed 557,858 miles, must, be deducted. The num-
bers will then be 408,525 passengers, conveyed
13,153,067 miles—making 30,566 more passengers on
the Bristol and Exeter line prnper, conveyed 1,630,341
miles more than in 1851. The disposable balance of
the revenue account, including the sum of 9,004/. 19s. 7d.,
brought over from the former half-year, is 55,534/. 3s. 3d.,
which will • provide for a dividend of 41 per cent. per
annum, or 21 per cent. for the half-year on 2,000,0001.
of consolidated stock. The surplus then remaining to
be carried to the credit. of the next half-year will be
