MPERIAC, PARLIAMENT.

VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.
The Vlncouv,r'A Island (Administration of Justice)
was hrou.zht up free the House of Lords, and, on
-n motion of Nir. lawEs, was rt-ad a first time and
o(& red ti be rt, ad sec nd titno on Umday next.
PEOPLE'S CHARTER.

Mr. HEADLA NI presented a petition from New-
caitle. upon-Tyne in favour of the adoption of the People's
Charter.

FRENCH INTERFERENCE WITH ROME.

Mr. T. I)UMCOMBE presented apetiTioliFronicer-
tain inhabitants of Holborn couiplaining of the armed
intervention of France in the affairs of Rome.
THE STATE OF THE NATION.
Mr. DISRAELI said it was impossible for him, ac-
cording to the forms of the House, to bring forward
the further discussion of his motion on the state of the
nation until the 31st of July. It was extremely in-
expedient to gointo the discussion on such a subject
at such a time. It the Noble Lord at the head of the
Government would therefore give him another Govern-
ment day, as far as he (Mr Disraeli) and the gentlemen
on his side of the House were concerned, nothing should
take place on their parts to prevent a division taking
place on that day.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, that both sides of the ques-
tion had been fully entered into by the Hon. Gentleman
the Member for Buckinghamshire, and by his Right
Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the
part of the Government, and as far as the Government
was concerned, he was quite content with the reply given
by his Right Hon. Friend. He was, however, willing to
make some further sacrifice, in order that the whole
question should be fully debated, and if the adjourned
debate on the Hon. Gentleman's motion was to be con
tinned, it was desirable that it shoulu be continued with-
out delay. Under these circumstances ho was willing it
should be resumed to morrow (Friday). This being so,
he must ask the House to sit at an early hour on Mon-
day, in order that the Government might proceed with
the Bills before the House in reference to Scotland. He
begged also to take that opportunity of requesting that
the Hon. Member (Mr. Heywood), who had a motion on
the paper, praying that an inquiry should be instituted
into the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin,
with a view to the extension and improvement of educa-
tion, would be good enough to give it up for this session,
as the Government had not time to consider what course
it could take in respect to it.

Mr. HEY WOOD had no objection to assent to the
request of the Noble Lord, and he would therefore post-
pone his motion till next session.
Mr. DISRAELI said he could have wished the Noble
Lord bad given him information of his intention to allow
the debate on the state of the nation to take place on
Friday, for many of his friends had gone out of town,
not expecting. that the debate would again come on.
Lord J. RUSSELL--I could not give the Hon. Gen-
tleman the information earlier.

Mr. MACKENZIE expressed a hope that the Noble
Lord would not persevere in his determination to press
the Sci,tch Marriage and Registration Bills on, as they
were much objected to in Scotland.
Mr. IlustE and Lord LINCOLN also addressed similar
requests to the Noble Lord.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he looked upon the Bills to
be a great improvement on the law in Scotland, in re•
specs to marriages, registration, &c., and he could not
consent to withhold them.

Captain HARRIS wished to know if there was any
inaccuracy in the statement that there had been a de-
crease to the extent of 5,000 ships euguged in the coast-
ing trade.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said he was not aware of any
inaccuracy; there was a steady increase in the coasting
trade, and it there was any decrease it was owing to the
general depression of trade.
THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

Mr. GLADSTONE said, in drawing attention to the
motion of which he had given notice, '• That an humble
addl.& ss be presented to her Majesty, praying that her
Majesty will be graciously pleased to direct that such
means as to her Majesty shall seem most fitting and
effectual be taken to ascertain the legality of the powers
in respect to territory, trade, taxation, and government,
which are, or recently have been, claimed or exercised
by the Hudson's Bay Company on the continent of North
America, under the charter of his Majesty King Char!, s
the Second, issued in the year 1670, or in virtue of any
other tight or title, except those conveyed by or under
the Act 43 Geo. 3, c. 138 (extending the criminal juris-
diction of Canadian Courts), and 1 and 2 Geo. 4, c. 66,
intituled,' An Act for regulating the fur trade, and este
blishing a criminal and civil jurisdiction within certai❑
parts of North America,'" he was happy to state that
through the consent of the Hudson's Bay Company, and
also of the Government, he was not called upon to
trouble the House with many observations. The com-
pany held the power they exercised in their territo-
ries by three titles. The first was the charter of 1670 ;
the second, the license of . trade granted in 1838 ; and
the third, that which they recently obtained for the Go-
vernment of Vancouver's Island. The object of the

inquiry was not to enter into any of the alleged abuses
of power attributed to the company, but only to inquire
into the legality of the rights enjoyed under these titles.
It was his desire to divest the question of every political
feeling, and he was glad be had not to advert to any
points connected with the management of this company.
which was conducted by a gentleman for whom he bad
tke greatest respect. Mr. Isbester, with whom the sug
gestion for inquiry originated, gave testimony to the
fficient manner in which the Governor Sir John Pelly,
and the Deputy•Governor,Mr. Harrison discharged their
duties. It was not of the officers but of the system he
complained, and would, therefore, without further re-
mark, submit the motion. _ _

Mr. lIis.WES said it was not necessary for him to
make many observations upon the question. The Right
Hon. Gentleman had concisely stated that the company.
much to their honour, agreed to the inquiry, and under
these circumstances the Governm, nt also agreed to it.
He thought the inquiry ought to take place, and had
only to express his acquiescence.
Mr. HUME wished to know when the Noble Lord
(Lincoln) intended to bring forward his motion upon
this subject.
Lord LINCOLN said it was his intention to bring it
forward the first opportunity, upon the motion for going
into Committee of Supply.
Mr. E. ELLICE said more importance was attached
to this question than it merited. It was stated in the
public papers that this grant of Vanvouver's Island was
made to the company as a job at his solicitation. The
fact was that he knew nothing of it until it was men•
tioned in that House. If the Government gave him the

isiand, subject to the conditions upon which it was
granted to the company, he should regard himself as a
fit inmate for a lunatic asylum if he accepted it. He did
not think it would be of any advantage to the company.
He thought they ought to hesitate before they interfered
with the government of the company, before they were
prepared to substitute a better, which would be difficult
to obtain. The company had managed their territories
in a most efficient manner, and if a Committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter, he was prepared to
prove that such was the case.
Mr. HUME said he never blamed the company, but
the Government for making the grant, because he (Id
not consider the company competent to found a new

colony.
Lord LINCOLN said he would be precluded from
bringing forward his motion on Thursday next, but
thought he would do so on Friday next.
Mr. GLADSTONE disclaimed having intimated that
the Hon. Member for Coventry (Mr. E. Ellice) had
solicited this grant. In fact, be never believed that such
was the case. He did not wish to weaken the title of the
company. After the examination took place it would
be for him to take exceptions, if he entertained any. He
cast no imputations on the company. His objection was
to the principle involved in this matter, as it related to
the important subject of colonization.
The motion was then agreed to.
RELATION BETWEEN LANDLORD AND

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 5.
The Court snt today at Westminster, for thu purpose
of delivi,ring judgment in several cases which -stood Over

for consideration, Or. Judges present being Lord Chief
Justice Denman, Mr. Justice ratteson, Mr. Justice
Cnicridge, and Mr Justice &le.

BAILEY V. HAINES.- SAME V. BRACEBRIDGE.-SANS V.
WCAULEY.

The plaintiff in this case is an advertising agent, and
the defendants, against whom he brought three separate
actions, were provisional committeemen of one of the
unsuccessful railway schemes planned during the great
railway mania.
New trials had been moved for on several grounds.

Lord DENMAN now gave judgment. Having entered
very fully into the law of the cases, and gone through
all its details, his Lordship said, in the case of" Bailey
v. M'Cauley," it was alleged that the jury had not
been properly constituted, inasmuch as one of the
jurymen had been a member of the provisional
committee of the line in question, at the same
time that the defendant was a member of it. The Court
was of opinion that the iuryman should have communi-
cated that fact to the judge, and that in not having (lone
so, it was to be supposed that he was apprehensive that

the verdict would affect his interest. -the Court was,
therefore, of opinion that the verdict could not be sus-
tained, and that the rule for a new trial must be granted
but on payment of costs, inasmuch as the plaintiff's at-
torney, in not having communicated the fact (with
which he was acquainted) had himself contributed to
the failure of justice. In the case of " Bailey v. Brace-
bridge," which in like manner resulted in a verdict for
the defendant, objection was taken to the summing up
of Lard Chief Justice Wilde, before whom the cause
was tried at Bristol. The Court was satisfied with the
summing up, as the ruling was in accordance with the
decision of the Court of Exchequer. ()ejection was
also taken to the verdict, as being against evi-
dence, and where there was much perplexity in
the circumstances, the Court thought that it ought not
to deprive the party of the benefit of the verdict which
he had fairly obtained. The third case, that of " Bayley
v Haines," was a pecul'ar one. The jury there asked
at what time the defendant had become a provisional
committeeman ? Whereupon the counsel turned to the
prospectus, in which the defendant's name appeared, for
the purpose of fixing the date. Objection was taken to
this, and the Court thought it unsatisfactory. The rule
for a new trial must therefore be absolute on that
ground; but as the plaintiff was at all events entitled to
a verdict, and as the effect of a new trial would be
merely to reduce the damages, the Court was of opinion
that the plaintiff had better consent to take off part of
the amount. With respect to another question in the
case, which had been submitted for the consideration of
the Court, the Court had reserved it, and would on
Wednesday nest give judgment on it.

DAI7BENNY V. PHILLIPS.
The plaintiff in this case is a solicitor, at Marla
Drayton, and brought his action against the defendant,
who was one of the managing directors of the Northamp-
ton and Lincoln Railway Company. Plaintiff obtained
a verdict for 300/. A rule for a new trial was applied
for, and was now made absolute.

, -
main by a young man 'in his employ, named Buck, who
shortly afterwards went to the sitting-room on the first
floor, and remained there with the plaintiff and his mo-
ther, a lady eevt my-one years of age, and these were
the only pf-rso: s in the house. At ten minutes to ten
Buck went to get the supper beer, and returned in about
four, minutes, and again went up stairs. Nothing fur-
ther happened until about ten minutes past ten, when a
rapping at the shutters was heard, and an alarm of fire
was given by parties in the street. The persons in the
house attempted to go down stairs, but being prevented
by the smoke, they got out of the front window into the
public-house adjoinining. On cross-examination, it ap-
peared that the plaintiff was indebted to nearly all the
tradesmen whom he called as witnesses, and that several
of them had lodged attachments at the Sun-office against
the money supposed to be due upon the insurance; that
he had 'borrowed 20/. of Buck; and that at the time
of the fire he was not in good pecuniary circumstances.
Among other witnesses, the plaintiff called Edward Cap-
stick, who had been in his employ as foreman. He
stated that he had been subpcenaed by the defendant,
and that the plaintiff and witness estimated the value of
the stock and furniture, for the purpose of insurance, at
about 1,2001., but that the plaintiff said that they might
put it down at a little more, as the stock might increase.
Upon this answer being given, the plaintiff's Cou:,sel
declined to put any more questions to the witness, who
in his cross-examination stated that he continued in the
plaintiff's service till the time of the fire. On that day
he was out from one o'clock until half-past eight
o'clock, but he then assisted in shutting up the shop, and
about half-past nine left the premises safe. He then
went to the John Bull, Brewer-street, Goswell road,
where he heard an alarm of fire, and afterwards went
to Islington, and found the plaintiff's premises in fames.
The witness assisted the plaintiff in making out his
claim, and afterwards stated to the Sun-office that his
claim was a proper one. He then went into business at
Greenwich, where he was served with several writs. A
person named Edkins served one of these writs, and in
consequence of a conversation with him, he made a
further communication to the Sun-office, different to the
one already referred to. Ho kept the plaintiff's books,
whose takings varied from 121. to 501. per week. The
amount was lowest at the time of the fire, at which time
the stock had diminished. When witness first went to
the plaintiff's the mattresses were kept up stairs, but
afterwards they were brought down stairs to fill up the
shop. At first also the mahogany goods were kept down
stairs, and the japan goods up stairs, but afterwards the
japan goods were brought down stairs. The number of
men in the plaintiff's employ had also decreased. Wit-
ness assisted the plaintiff in making out his claim, but
they did not limit themselves to the exact amount of the
goods that were on the premises at the time of the fire.
Smith said they must make it out as well as they could,
and as there was not sufficient cabinet furniture to
amount to the insurance, they must put down things that
were not there, and make the prices more than what
the goods cost. The witness then went through a large
number of items in the plaintiff's claim against the fire-
office, and stated that some of the articles mentioned
there were nut upon the premises at the time of the fire,
and that a large quantity of the goods were charged at
much more than their real price. The total amount of
the claim was for 1,7871. 9i., one part of which was on
account of the drapery stock, which was set down at
9471. 4s. 4d., but the witness valued it at 4321. Bs. 7d.
The furniture, bedding, feathers, &c., were set down
at 428/ 3s. Bd., but the witness estimated it at
only 2001. Bs. 10d., and the glass, which was claimed
at 651. 45., was valued at half that sum. The wit-
ness also stated that, a week before the fire, between
thirty-five and forty yards of Brus•els carpet were sent
to the plaintiff's sister, in Tottenham Court -road, and
also a feather bed, some calicoes flsnnel, table linen, and
a fancy work table; that some flannels, diapers, table
linen, and calicoes, were sent to the plaintiff's brother,
Mr. Robert Smith, in Holborn. Previous to the exami-
nation of this last witness, the plaintiff's brother and
sister had been called, and their testimony contradicted
that given by Capstick as to property having been taken
to their houses from the plaintiff's shortly before the
fire. Sever .:1 of the plaintiff's witnesses were ques-
tioned as to a washhand-stand with a marble top, which
they stated they had seen upon the premises shortly be-
fore the fire, and similar evidence was given as to a
cheval looking-glass. Both these articles were charged
for in the plaintiff's claim. Capstick, in his evidence,
stated that this last-named article was not on the pre-
mises at the time of the fire, hut was at Mr. Foster's sale-
rooms in Oxford-street, and that the one produced in Court
was the same which was set down at 51. 10s. in the claim.
Mr. Bromley, however, an auctioneer, was called, and he
stated that he had gone over the premises afeer the fire,
and had found the frame of a cheval-glass, about the
same size as the one produced, which was much burned.
With regard to the quantity of goods sent into plain-
tiff's, the books of one person with whom he dealt,named
Bailey, appeared to have been altered so as to make the
amount in the books greater than the quantity of goods
actually supplied, and it was submitted for the consider-
ation of the jury that the alterations had been fraudu-
lently made. Another person with whom the plaintiff
dealt, was Mr. Slater, and the witness Capstick said that
Mr. Slater had told him he had been obliged to alter his
books, and had put in 100/. worth of goods, to make
Smith's books correspond with the invoices. He also
gave witness a sovereign, and told bim to keep himself'
right, and if he wanted another at any time he should
have it. Mr. Slater was called, and it appeared that
there were alterations in his books, but he explained it
by saying that there had been a mistake, in entering
goods to the wrong Mr. Smith. He denied that he had
ever made the statement above referred to, but stated
that he had given Capstick a sovereign because he was
in distress.

This was the plaintiff's case.
The defendant's case, as given in evidence, was that
about ten minutes past ten o'clock on the night of the
fire, several persons perceived smoke coming from. the
plaintiff's premises, and, in consequence thereof, they
knocked and kicked at the door and shutters for about
five minutes, and shouted " Fire." They also rang the
bell, and the policeman sprung his rattle. At the expi-
ration of this rime the plaintiff came to the window, and
was told that the house was on fire, hut he said no, it
was all right. He then Rent away, but soon returned,
and threw the strt et•door key out, which was picked up
and given to a person named Thomas Conder, who
opened the door and went into No. 19, and saw a fire
raging at the back of that shop, and through the door
communicating with the other shop, he saw the reflection
of a fire, which appeared to be at the back of the shop
No. 18. Witne,.s saved two lots of goods, but the police
would not allow him to go into the house again. A.
model of the premises was produced, from which it ap-
peared that there is a party wall between No. 18 and
No 19. and that there is no internal communication be-
tween the two houses, except through an opening in the
wall on the ground floor, which is six feet one inch wide.
The stairc,t,es started from the back of the premises,
and ran up the side of the outer wall of each house, from
the basement to the top. These staircases were entirely
destroyed, and it was sworn that they were both on fire
at the same time.

John Robert Eyles, a fireman in the employ of the
Royal Society for the Protection of Lite from Fire,
stated that he tutered one of the upper rooms, and found
a strong smell of turpentine or naptha. There was a
cry that there was a man on the roof, and witness went
there, but he had only just got up, and was standing
with one foot on the roof and one on the coping, when
the roof fell in, and if it had not bc en for his compa-
nion he should have fell in with it. He never saw a fire
burn so rapidly. There appeared to him to be two dis-
tinct fires.

Henry Andrew Mailea, an engineer in the Fire Bri-
gade, superintended the search among the ruins. The
rubbish was sifted through two sieves, and every por-
tion of burnt property was saved. They did not find a
gold watch said to have been lost, nor the remains of
any plate. Mr. Smith said he had lost six sovereigns,
but none of them were found in the rubbish, nor was any
portion of the marble washhand-stand discovered. They
f.iund some metal rings, but no value hie ones, nor any
account books. Witness observed a peculiar smell,some-
thing like the -smell of naptha or turpentine.
Mr. Thomas Hodsol, a valuer and surveyor of losses
by fire.—He watched the sifting of the rubbish, and took
a note of everything found. Among these articles were
bed-ticking, floorcloth, blankets, carpets, rugs, and other
articles which could not be consumed in a fire such as
the one in question. Account-books, such as the plain-
tiff was proved to have had, could not have been entirely
consumed. The witness went through a large number of
items in the plaintiff's claim against the fire-office, and
the result of his evidence was, that there was a much
less quantity of goods upon the premises than those
charged for. No remains of the marble stand were
found, and judging from the salvage, the plaintiff's stock
in trade was of a very interior description. Witness
a so observed the smell in the ruins, which was at times
so bad that they could scarcely breathe.
Several witnesses also gave testimony to the effect,
that the plaintiff's stock was of a cheap kind, and that it
had much diminished at the time of the fire; but one of
the defendant's witnesses named Charles Hackett, who
bad been employed as porter by the plaintiff on the day
of the fire, and who had good means of acquiring in-
formation upon the matter, stated that the shops were
quite full of goods.
The CKIEF JUSTICE directed the jury that there were
three goes ions for their consideration. Ist. Whether
the fire was accidental, or procured by the fraud of the
plaintiff, 2d. Supposing the fire not to have been pro-
cured by the plaintiff, what was the amount of the pro-
perty destroyed by that fire; and the third question
would only arise provided the second received their de.
termination to a particular effect. If they found that
the value of the goods destroyed amounted to such a
sum as showed the plaintiff's demand to have been rea-
sonably correct, the third question would not arise. It
only arose supposing they found that the account was
not only incorrect, but incorrect and excessive to such
an amount and under such circumstances, as
should induce them to think that the error was not
accidental, but intentional ; they would then con-
sider the third question, whether the plaintiff had
fraudulently and ;knowingly set down the amount
greatly beyond the loss he knew he had sustained. His
Lordship then read through his notes of the evidence,
dividing it as bearing upon one or other of the questions
above menioned, snd told them that they should be
strongly impressed with the conclusions that the fire had
been procured by the plaintiff, or that there had been
fraud, before they adopted either of them, but if they
were of opinion that the evidence led to either of those
conclusions it would be their duty to find for the de-
fendant.

The jury retired from the court to consider the
matter, and after being absent for three-quarters of an
hour they returned, and, i❑ answer to questions left with
the officer of the court by his Lordship, they said that
they were unable to determine whether the fire was wil-
ful or accidental; but they found that the plaintiff, with
intent to deceive and defraud the defendants, made and
delivered a false and fraudulent statement, greatly ex-
ceeding the real amount of his loss. In addition to
this, the jury found that the amount of the property

destroyed was 9004, which finding amounts to a verdict
for the defendant.
The case occupied the court nearly four days, and WO
not concluded until a quarter to nine o'clock at night.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 5.
(Nisi ?rius sitting at Guildhall, before the LORD CIWU
BARON and a Special July.)
3I`KILLAR V. HARRIS.
The plaintiff in this cAse, who is a gentleman of fore
tune, residing- at Wandsworth Lodge, Tooting, sought
to recover compensation in damages from the defendant,
a brewer, carrying on business in the Hampstead-road,
for an injury done to the plaintiff's horse and broughalll
by the alleged negligent conduct of a draymaa in the
service of the defendant.
After the usual amount of conflicting evidence,
The LORD CHIEF BARON left the case to the jury,
forming them that they must be of opinion that the or
cident was occasioned altogether by the negligence of
misconduct of the deft ncl,mt's servants in order to entitle
the plaintiff to a verdict.

The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, damages 441 61

THE Us UNTRY MARKETS.

for grinding qualities. Oats sold slowly at former prices. On
