CRIMINAL OFFENDERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES IN
1852.—The commitments for trial in 1852 are a trifling
decrease on those of 1851. They were 27,960 in
1851, and 27,510 in 1852, showing a decrease of
perl 6 lntwentycountiesof England,
halfcent.
manufacturing and commercial, and half agri-
cultural, there has been a larger diminution, counter-
balanced to a minor extent by an increase in the remain-
ing 20 counties. The chief increase, however, has taken
place in the Welsh county of Glamorgan. Of the classes
of crimes, there has been an increase in murders and
attempts to murder, and also an increase to the amount
of 65 per cent. in concealing the birth of children. In
riots, breaches of the peace, and especially in perjury,
the increase has been still greater ; that of the latter of-
fence having been trebled since the operation of the
statute of 14 and 15 Vict. which enables parties to suit
to give evidence, and which gives summary power to
judges to commit for perjury. The decreases have taken
place chiefly in rapes, in all offences against property, in
offences against the game laws, and arson. In the
punishments there has been a remarkable diminution of
sentences of transportation. No less than two-thirds
fewer than last year have been sentenced for life.
CAN THIS BE TRUE ?-1n Wales, and many districts
of the United Kingdom, one coffin or shell serves for the
whole of the parish poor, it being provided with a false
bottom. The coffin is lowered into the grave ; the bolts
are drawn when the mourners have quitted the church-
yard ; the venerable coffin is drawn up again, and the
corpse is then covered with earth, as though it were the
carcass of a brute.—Church and State Gazate.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT, IRELAND.—From 'an
official return it appears that from the year 1849, to
May, 1853, 1/ millions of acres, at the gross rental of
650,0001., subject to head and chief rents and tithe rent-
charge to above 60,0001., and a large portion to jointures-
and annuities, sold for 81 millions sterling—not, on an
average more than 61. an acre. There were 159 pur-
chasers (not Irish) who bought 1i millions ; 67 Lon
doners bought of a million ;23 purchasers in Lanca-
shire only of a million ; the remaining purchasers in
England, being 56 in number, bought of a million.;
two purchasers in India at 30,0001. ; and in America
one purchaser to the amount of 2,5001. There are no
less than 1,500 boxes of .title-deeds deposited in the
Record Office, containing upwards of 90,000 documents,
yet, notwithstanding this immense pressure of business,
no office for the registration of all estates for sale has'
been opened in London by the commissioners, until Mr.
Bermingham established one at 158, New Bond-street,
and which meets with their entire Approbation. This
office will facilitate the transactions of the Encumbered
Estates Court, inasmuch as it will give as great publi-
city in London as in Dublin, and will be a great boon to
capitalists.
ALLEGED MURDER.—A case of murder is said to have
occurred at Conway. A man took a, youth out shooting
rabbits, and returned without him. The body was after-
wards found buried on the mountain, the youth having,
evidently been shot, and it is said his watch was subse-
quently discovered on the person of his companion. This
and other circumstances occasioned the apprehension of
the latter,

SWITZERLAND.

The New Zurich Gazette of the 4th says :—" The
Austrian post on the Swiss frontier near Stablio
has been withdrawn on the representations of the
federal conunissioner. The Austrian Colonel de-
clared that he was not aware that he had placed
himself on Swiss ground. The situation of Ticino
becomes more and more embarrassing. The blockade
is still rigorous. The Radicals urge violence, but
the moderate party advise the Government to
make concessions to Austria. The Austrian soldiers
on the frontier sing songs, urging the people of
Ticino to abandon the Government. One of these
songs has the following words : 'Swiss, if you wish
to come to our
.side, cry, Down with the Govern-
ment, and long live the monks."'

RUSSIA.
The Hamburg News has the following from War-
saw of the 23d ult. :—" Well-informed persons de-
clare that the Czar will arrive here towards May
15th, and that his Majesty will have an interview
with the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Aus-
tria. Another account states that the Czar will
leave for Vienna on the 15th of May. It is, how-
ever, certain that the Lazinski Palact theeerasne adnmettehodauetrAtsmot.f

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON.—A distressing
act of suicide was committed on Thursday evening, by
which the family of one of our most respectable trades-
men has been suddenly plunged into the deepest distress.
The actor in this painful tragedy is a twin son of Mr.
Lawrence, of the Terminus Tavern, named Charles
Richard, and following the avocation of a painter. It
appears that he was of rather a gay disposition, and
within the last few days he had been observed to be
labouring under great nervous excitement. On Thurs-
day, we understand, he accompanied his sister to
Mr. Lawrence's, the surgeon, to consult him on
the state of his health ; but that gentleman was
not at home. On the same day he did some grain-
ing, but in the evening he became worse, and his
excitement was so great that his family, with whom he
lived, were seriously alarmed. About half-past 8 one of
his sisters said she would fetch him a ha,ndkrerchief from
upstair?, but fearing to go alone, another sister accom-
panied her. The. unhappy young man, then, it appears,
rushed upstairs after his sisters, they going into on
room and he into another on the draw iag-room floor
here he opened a window which fl c,s the to iiti nus, an
precipitated himself into Trafalgar-street--a uistance o
about 30 feet. As soon as possible he was taken in
fly to the hospital, and at five o'clock thestift.:

As amended, considered. Amendment proposed, page
3, lines 14 and 15, to leave out the words between "entail,"
in line 14, and "the granting," in line 15, and insert the
words "whether the tailzie under which he holds the en-
tailed estate be dated prior or subsequent to the Ist day
of August, 1848, to authorise," instead thereof. Question
put, " That the words proposed to be left out stand part
of the bill." The house divided—Ayes, 120; Noes, 24.

BERWICK ELECTION.

Mr. MITCHELL presented a petition from Mr.
Matthew Forster, denying the truth of the allega-
tion that he had endeavoured by means of corrupt pro-
mises to procure the withdrawal of the petition against
his return, stating that two persons had offered to him to
withdraw the petition on condition of receiving a large
sum of money, and praying for an inquiry into the whole
circumstances. (On the motion of the hon. member the
petition was read by the clerk at the table.) The hon.
member wished to know whether the offer mentioned
by the petitioner did not involve a breach of the privi-
leges of the house.
°The SPEAKER said, as the matter stood at
present, it was difficult to say whether it amounted
to a breach of the privileges of the house.
Mr. MITCHELL gave notice that he would on Mon-
day move for the appointment of a committee to inquire
into the statements in the petition. (Hear.)
DUTIES ON CLOVER SEEDS, &c.

Sir J. SHELLEY said—l wish to put to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury a question of great importance to
us agriculturists. (Laughter) We farmers wish to
know whether the Government intend to remove the
duties on clover and other small seeds, in order to carry
out the principles of free trade ?
Mr. WILSON admitted that the farmers had a right
to make an appeal to the Government on that subject,
both on the principle now adopted of unrestricted com-
petition, and on the ground that all articles of raw ma-
terial ought to be admitted free into the country. (Hear,
hear.) Deputations lately received by the Government
had urged that the duties in question ought to be taken
off in conformity with those principles. The matter
was now under the consideration of the Government,
and the only reason why they hesitated at ali in coming
to a conclusion was as to the amount which the duties
at present yielded, not as to the propriety of their being
removed. (Cheers.)
SALE OF CROWN RIGHTS IN RUABON.

Mr. WHALLEY asked the Secretary to the Trea-
sury whether any further steps had been taken in the
proposed sale of crown rights in Ruabon, since the peti-
tion relative thereto was presented, and the return of
papers ordered by the house.
Mr. WILSON replied, that in the month of January
last the Treasury gave its consent to an arrangement
entered into between Sir Watkins Wynne and the Lord
of the Manor, and the inhabitants of Ruabon, and
nothing in the matter had been done since by the Trea-
sury.

The Divan is more favourable to that party since

TO EMIGRANTS.

The opinion of the most experienced Colonists is that none should
emigrate without a suitable Outfit ; if they do, they will become im-
patient at the loss of their customary comforts, and on that account
may be unsuccessful and unhappy. The best and the most suitable
Outfits are purchased for less money at E. MOSES and SON'S than
at any other Establishment. The Goods are only such as are indis-
pensable, yet they are all which will be required; the Clothing is
every way suitable for the voyage, climate of the country, and the
occupations of Emigrants. A separate Department is kept for Out-
fitting, and the lowest prices charged for every article. Merchants,
captains, and others, should visit the Wholesale Department
Goods
of E.
MOSES and SON'S Establishment, where they may pchase
from which they will derive an amazing profit.
Shipsailing information, and feat Lists of Outfits for Ladies and
Gentlemen, may be had on appliion, or post free to any part of
the kingdom.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradcsman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

No CONNEXION WITH ♦NY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON,
except their own Establishmeuta, as follows :
London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83,
84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.
London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2,
3, hart-street, all communicating.
Bradford (Yorkshire) Branch, 19 nd 20, Bridge-street.
Sheffield Branch, 36, Margate.
Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and
Shoe Makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen.
IMPORTANT.—ShouId any article not give satisfaction, It will be
exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned
without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest
price, from which no abatement can be made.
The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on
Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock.
A new Book, "The Herald of the Seasons," containing full lists
of prices, our system of self-measurement, facts relative to Australia,
advice to emigrants, &c., may be had on application, or post-free to
any part of the kingdom.
A handsome Almanac for the year ending 1853 can be had gratis,
on application.

ELECTION COMMISSIONS.

In answer to an HoN. MEMBER,
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was out of the question to
allow these motions to take precedence on the Govern-
ment nights ; but he would endeavour to fix them for
days when they were likely to come on.
GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES.
Mr. J. B. SMITH asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, whether the Government had suspended the
granting of annuities for lives and terms of years, and if
so, whether the suspension was intended to be perma-
nent or temporary only.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said several matters had been done, and were in
tb e
contemplation by the Government respecting
granting of annuities ; but as regarded the question of
the hon. member, it was not the case that the Govern-
ment had suspended granting annuities, either on lives
or for a term of years. The question of the hon. mem-
ber might perhaps have arisen out of the fact that for a
certain limited period before every quarter the granting
of annuities was suspended.
CHATHAM ELECTION.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that on Monday next
he should move the adjournment of the Chatham writ ;
4nd also that it was his intention to bring in a bill to

of the conversion of the deferred debt into 8 per

crees for appointments of governors of provinces,
&c. The _Herald° states that the postal treaty

leading points having been agreed to. A Madrid
letter of the Ist says :—" A rumour prevails that
some important measure adopted in the Council of

ing them to certain grand localities, determined

tANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
IN RE ASHTON AND SPRIGGS.
To-day was appointed for audit and dividend meeting
under the estate of these bankrupts, who had carried on
business as warehousemen in Aldermanbury.
The balance-sheet, commencing Dec. 1850 and ending
Sept. 14, 1852, shows :—Dr. to Cred., 8,002/. 10s. 9d. ;
liabilities, 106/. Bs. 3d. ; capital, 1,305/.135. ; profits on
trading, 1,883/. 4s. 7d. Cr. : Debtors good, 1,816/.
16s. 4d. ; doubtful, 95/. 4s. 6d. ; property taken by as-
signees, 2,755/. 6s. 2d. ; losses, 665/. Is. 9d. ; bad
debts, 86/. 4s. 7d. ; trade expenses, 1,553/. 3s. 4d.
Drawings by partners—Ashton, 863/. is. Bd. ' • Spriggs,
669/. Bs. Bd. Spriggs' deficiency on cash account,
2,687/.
The case has excited much interest in consequence of
the bankrupt Spriggs having absconded to Australia.
It appears that previously to absconding he paid in to
his own credit with the Bank of Australia a sum of
1,000/., which was duly advised before his departure,
and also fraudulently drew bills to the amount of
1,700/. on the firm. The bankrupt (Spriggs) was appre-
hended at Melbourne, and brought to England, and is
now in custody for felony.
The business of the day was to declare a dividend,
and the apprehension of the bankrupt (Spriggs) was
reported to his Honour.
The dividend will be officially declared in a few days,
and is likely to be very satisfactory under the circum-
stances.
It should be mentioned that Mr. Ashton obtained an
immediate certificate of the first class as soon as the
forms would allow, as he placed himself in the hands of
his creditors immediately he discovered Spriggs had
absconded.

CIIMBERLAND.—Meadow hay, 3/ 8s to 4/ 12s ; clover
ditto, 4/ Os to 5/ 8s ; and straw, 1/ 8s to 1/ 15s per load.
A fair average supply, and a steady demand.

ditto, 4l Os to 5/ 10s ; and straw, 1/ 8s to 1/ 14s per load.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Mr. Lambert, the respected
treasurer of this establishment, takes his benefit on
Thursday evening next. The performances will consist
of The Corsican Brothers, and Black Eyed Susan, in
which Mr. T. P. Cooke will make his last appearance
but two at this theatre.
CUSTOMS SEIZURES.—The Commissioners of Customs
have directed the principal officers at the several ports
throughout the kingdom to prepare and transmit to the
accountant of petty:receipts, !with all practicable dis-
patch, an account, agreeably to a, form approved for the
purpose, of the amount of fines and satisfactions (not
legal penalties enforced) imposed on the release of goods
or vessels from detention or seizure in the years 1829,
1845, 1850, 1851, and 1852, confining the same to mer-
cantile transactions only. The object of this return is
to show particularly what total amount of fines and
satisfactions have been imposed upon the mercantile
community and shipping interests, during the above
years, in lieu of enforcing the provisions of the law.
Should there be any difficulty in rendering a strictly
correct account, it is to be given as nearly as possible.
THE CHICORY FRAUD.—Yesterday, in order to secure
the object of theGovermaent in its recent orders relative
to the sale of coffee, a new general order was issued by
the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. By this order
it is prescribed that in place of the words "Mixture of
chicory and coffee," required by the said general order
to be printed on every package containing such mixture,
the words, " This is sold as a mixture of chicory and
coffee," be printed in capital letters of Roman charac-
ter of at least one-eighth of an inch in height, on the
outside of one side of every such package, on which side
no other printing or writing whatever must be placed ;
and that there be no other printing or writing whatever
on any other part of the packages, except the name and
address of the seller thereof.

INCOME TAX.

Sir F. KELLY asked the hon. member for Montrose
when he proposed proceeding with his motion for the
appointment of a committee on the income tax ?
Mr. HUME said he had abandoned all attempts to
improve the income tax. (A laugh.) He was obliged to
accept the Government bill as it was, not seeing any
hope of amending it.
London, England, 1853-05-31

IN RE WEST AND WEST.

These bankrupts (brothers) had carried on business at
Donnington, Lincoln, as drapers, and absconded, but
were apprehended and allowed to surrender, instead of
being subject to be tried under the Bankruptcy Act.
The debts are comparatively of small amount, and. a
dividend will be declared in a few days.
London, England, 1853-05-31

CHANCERY SUITORS' FUND.

In answer to Lord St. LEONARDS,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that after the
passing of the act for the commutation of certain of the
national securities, he had consulted the Chancery judges
as to the manner in which the funds of the suitors in
Chancery should be invested. They had almost unani-
mously decided to adopt the lowest (2/. 10s. Od.) stock,
but he had not yet determined, and intended to take ad-
vantage of the three days' grace to see how the money
market went before it be finally decided.
London, England, 1853-05-31

From British Guiana our accounts extend to the
11th inst. Genial rains had fallen in great abund-
ance, just in time to save from ruin a large pro-
portion of the cane crop, which a continuance of
dry weather would have lost to this year's exports.
The weather had become excessively hot. Trade
was dull. The new tax ordinance had been pro-
mulgated. The yellow fever had disappeared, but
smallpox in a mild form still continued. During
the absence of Governor Barkly, who has come
home by this packet on a short leave of absence,
the reins of Government have been assumed by the
Hon. William Walker, the Government Secretary.
who had- been sworn in as Lieutenant-Governor.
Prior to the departure of Mr. Barkly a levee was
held, which was attended by all the principal in-
habitants of the colony desirous of exhibiting their
respect and esteem for this gentleman, whose
administration of the Governorship is thus described
in the Demerara Royal Gazette:—
"The public demonstrations of every kind which have
been made on this occasion show the estimation in which
Mr. Barkly is held, both as a public man and in private
life. lie has administered the affairs of the colony with
a degree of tact and skill, with a courtesy, and at the
same time with a firmness, that have made his diplo-
matic ability the subject of unreserved admiration. He
has managed to put an end to the rancorous party spirit
which, previous to his arrival, embittered the lives and
disgraced the debates among us ; he has utterly extin-
guished that feeling of hostility to the Home Government
w:7ich used to cause us to look upon every representa-
tive of her Majesty as a common enemy.
"These may be looked upon as benefits of the passive
sort ; the labours of the Governor have, however, as-
sumed otherwise an active character. On his Excel-
lency's arrival here he found, notwithstanding the efforts
of his predecessors, the educational interests of the
country at an excessively low ebb in regard to efficiency.
The incessant endeavour to remedy this has so far met
its reward, that the subject is now attracting the most
marked public attention, and each succeeding Combined

CUSTOMS RESOLUTIONS,

The orders of the day having been postponed pro
forma, on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, the report upon the Customs Resolu-
tions was agreed to.

ECCLESIASTICAL REVENUES OF IRELAND.
Mr. G. H. MOORE rose to movelfor a select com-
mittee to inquire into the ecclesiasticatl revenues of Ire-
land, with the view of ascertaining how far they are made
applicable to the benefit of the Irish people. No ques-
tion had been forced so much upon the attention of Par-
liament as this, and he believed none but Englishmen
would allow themselves to be bored with Irish grievances
simply to gratify a feeling of obstinacy. It was very
popular with some people to represent the Irish Roman
Catholic population of Ireland as exceedingly loyal ; but
those who made such representations were grossly de-
ceived if they believed them. The fact was, the Roman
Catholic population of Ireland were discontented with
the present state of ecclesiastical affairs in Ireland ; and
if an American fleet were to attack the shores of Ire-
land, he believed its success would be hailed with joy
by the Irish people. Now, it was for the ex-
press purpose of removing this bad feeling that
he now proposed this motion. Ireland, in a time of war,
had rendered this country good service, and the period
might arrive when the aid of her sons would again be
required by the Crown. It wasp therefore, of the utmost
importance that the feeling of discontent that now
prevailed in Ireland on ecclesiastical matters should
be removed, if it could possibly be done.
There was a wide difference between the situ-
ation of England and Ireland. In the former the
Church of the majority was closely iterwoven with
the State. It was distinctly represented in one branch
of the Legislature, while the Sovereign had sworn to
protect and cherish it. Not so in Ireland. There the
revenues of the Church were grossly misappropriated.
The majority were sacrificed for the sake of keeping up
the religious intolerance of the minority, and the con-
sequence was that there was no such thing known in
Ireland as ecclesiastical equality. Hence the discontent
to which he had referred in the opening of his address.
