Lord J. RUSSELL said he could have hardly be-

(LEFT SITTING.)

IMPERIAL II vitLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF C5-,d MONS, July 6.
THE S ['ATE OF THE NATION.
Mr. DISRAELI said it was impossible for him. ac-
cording to the forms of the House, to bring forw-.rd
the further discussion of his motion on the state of the
nation until the 31st of July. It was extremely in-
expedient to go into the discussion on such a subject
at such a time. If the Noble Lord at the bead 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 en the
part of the Government, and as far as the Government
Was concern( d, he was quite content with the reply given
by his Right Hon. Friend. He was, however, willing to
make sons(' further sacrifice, in order that the whole
question should he fully debated, and if the adjourned
debate on the Hon. Gentleman's motion was to be con-
tinued, it was desirable that it should be continued with-
out delay. Under these circumstances be was willing it
should he 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 bolero the House in reference to Scotland. He
begged also to take that opportunity of requesting that
the lion. Member (Mr. Hey wood), 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. HEYWOOD had no objection to assent to the
request of the Noble Lord, and he would therefore post-
pone his motion till next session.
Mr. I)ISRAELI said he could have wished the Noble
Lori had given hies information of his intention to allow
tt,e 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 net give the lion. Gen-
tleman the information earlier.
Mr. MM2KENZIE expressed a hope that the Noble
Lord would not persevere in his determination to press
the Scotch Marriage and Registretiou Bills on, as they
were much objected to in Seetland.
Mr. Hume; arid 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 i❑ Scotland, in re-
spect to rnerriages, registration, &c., and he could not
consent to withhold them.
Ceptain HARRIS wished to know if there was any
inaccuracy in the statement that there had been a de-
creese to the extent of 5,000 ships engaged in the coast-

ieg 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 Vs hieh he had given notice, " That an humble
soldta ss be presented to her Niajesty, praying that her
Majesty will be graciously pig used to direct that such
means as to her ,Mjesty shad seem most fitting and
effiatiu9l be taken to nseensin the legality of the powers
!n respect to territory, trade, taxation, and government,

blishing a criminal and civil jurisdiction within certain
parts of North America,'" he was happy to state that
throcgh the coast nt of the Hudson's Bay Company, and
also of the Government, he was not called upon to
' trouble the Hou'e 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

points connected with the management of this company,
which was conducted by a gentleman for whom he had
the greatest respect. Mr. Ishest.er, with whom the sug-
gestion for inquiry originated, gave 'testimony to the
efficient 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. HAWES said it was not necessary for him to
make many observations upon the question. The Right
Hon. Gentleman bad concisely stated that the company,
much to their honour, agreed to the inquiry, and under
these circumstances the Government also agreed to it.
He though: 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
island, subject to the conditions upon which it was
granted to the company, he should regard himself as a
tit 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 betoro they interfered
with the government of the company, before they were
',relved 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. HUivIE said he never blamed the company, but
the Government for making the grant, because he d.d
not consider the company competent to found a new
colony.
Lord LINCOLN said he would be precluded from
bringing forward bis motion on Thursday next, but
thought he would do so on Friday ni xt.
Mr. GLADSTONE disclaimed having intimated that
the Hon. Member fur Coventry (Nlr. E. Ellice) had
solicited this grant. In fact, he never bslieved that
was the case. He did not wish to weaken the title of the
company. After the examination took place it would

RELATION BETWEEN LANDLORD AND
TENANT IN IRELAND.

Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to establish by law throughout Ireland the custom of
tenant right, that has prevailed in the province of Ulster.
He said this question was the root of the evils of Ireland,
upon which it was necessary something should be done.
Ile was not favourable, as a principle, to the interference
of Parliament in such matters, but this was an excep-
tionable case.
There being but thirty-three Members present, the
House was counted out.

LAW IN TELLIG EN CE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 5.
PARRATT V. THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM
This case, which in the order of trial stood third on
the list for this day, and about which curiosity was on
the qui vine, has been withdrawn.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 5.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, before Mei- Justice
WILDE and a Special Jury.)
SMITH V. HAMILTON.

The declaration in this case was founded upon a policy
of insurance from fire, effected by the plaintiff, upon his
stock in trade and household furniture; and the de-
fendant pleaded, Ist, that the goods were not consumed
by fire; 2dly, that the fire was caused by the procure-
ment of the plaintiff ; and, 3dly, that after the fire the
plaintiff bad been guilty of fraud, in delivering to the
company a false account of his loss.
Mr. Sergeant Byles, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Barnard
appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Cockburn, Q. C.,
Mr. Montague Chambers, Q. C., and Mr. Creasy were
counsel for the defendant.
The plaintiff in this case was formerly in business at
13 and 19, High-street, Islington, as a draper and furni-
ture-warehouseman, and the defendant was the repre-
sentative of the Sun Fire-office. It appears that the
plaintiff was in business as early as 1840 at Brook-hill,
Cierltenwell, which premises he insured in the Sun Fire-
office for 7001., but that insurance expired at Christmas,
1847. In August, 1847, he took the premises at Isling-
ton, and on the 15th of February following he gave
instructions for a policy of insurance for 1,550 L upon
the stock and furniture at Islington, and on the same
day he paid the premium. The insurance, however, was
not to commence until Lady-day; and although the po-
licy was dated in March, it was not delivered until after
the commencement of the action. Oa the evening of the
17th of May, 1848, a fire took place, which destroyed
certain property insured against, and the action was
brought to recover 1,5501., the amount of the policy.
The plaintiff called a large number of witnesses,
who proved that between August, 1847, and May,
1848, they bad supplied him with goods to the
amount of 1,7501., at Islington; and it also appeared
that he had some articles removed from Brook- hill to
the Islington shops. In addition to this, there were
a great number of witnesses who had seen the premises
from time to time, and who silted that the shops
were well-stocked, and confirm d so down to the time
of the fire. On the night of the fire the shops were
shut up about twenty minutes past nine o'clock, and the
gas was put out by the plaintiff, and was turned of the

main by a young man in his employ, named Buck, who destroyed was 900/.,
shortly afterwards went to the sitting-room on the first , for the defendant.
floor, and remained there with the plaintiff and his mo- The case occupied
thee, a lady seventy-one years of age, and these were not concluded until a
the only le rsoi 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- I
ther happened until atiout 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 cros-aexamination, 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 attechmsnts at the Sun-office against
the money supposed to be due upon the insurance; that
he had borroet d 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 bean subpceeaed by the defendant,
and that the pleintiff and witness estimated the value of
the stock and furniture, for the purpose of insurance, at
ai,out 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 Counsel
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
lie was out from one o'clock until half-past eight
o'clock, but he then assisted in shutting up the shop, tied
about half-past nine left the premises safe. He then
went to the John Bull, Brewer-street, Goswell read,
where he heard an alarm of fire, and afterwards went
to Islington, anti found the plaintiff's premises in flames.
The witness assisted the plaintiff in making out his
claim, and afterwards stated to the Sun-iffice 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 50/. 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 stabs, 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, bat
they did not limit themselves to the exact amount of the
goo-ds 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
wire not there, and make the prices more than what
the goods cost. The witness then went through a large
number ,if items in the plaintiff's claim against the fire-
office, and stated that some of the articles mentioned
there were not 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 1,787/. 95., one part of which was on
account of the drapery stock, which was set down at
947/. 4s. 4d., but the witness valued it at 4321. Bs. 7d.
The furniture, bedding, feathers, Sec., were set down
at 4281 3s. Bd., but the witness estimated it at
only 2001 Bs. 10d., and the glass, which was claimed
at 65/. 45., was valued at half that sum. Tie wit-
ness also stated that, a week before the fire, between
thirty-five end forty ) girds of Brussels carpet were sent
to the plaintiff's sister, in Tottenham Court -road, and
also a thether bed, some calicoes, fl ,111.141, table linen, and
a fancy work table; that some flannels, diapers, table
linen. and calicoes, were sent to the plaintiff's brother,
Ms. Hebert Smith, in Holborn. Previous to the exami
nation of this last witness, the pl,iint)ff's brother and
sister had byen called, end their testimony contradicts d
that given by Capstick as to property having been taken
to their houses from the plaintiff 's shortly before the
fire. Several of the plaintiff's witnesses were ques-
tioned as to a wash laid-stand with a marble top, which
they stated they had seen upon the premises shortly be-
fore the fire, aid 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 ae the time of rho fire, but was at Mr. Fester's sale-
rooms in Oxford-sue-Mend that the one produced in Court
was the same which was set down at 5/. 10s. in the claim.
Mr. Bromley, however, an auctioneer, was called, and he
stated that he had gone over the premises after the fire,
and had found the frame of a cheval-glass, about the
some size as the one produced, which was much burned.
With regard to the qunntity 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, Red it was submitted for the consider-
ation of the jury that the alterations bad 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 him to keep himself
right, and if be wanted another at any timo 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 bad
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 time the plaintiff came to the window, and
was told that the house was on fire, but he said no, it
was all right. He then went away, but soon returned,
and threw the street-door key out, which was picked tip
and given to a person named Thomas Concfer, 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. Witness 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
1 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 staircases 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 Hobert Eyles, a fireman in the employ of the
Royal aiociety for the Protection of Lite from Fire,
stated that he entered 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 tee roof and one on the coping, when
the roof fell in, and if it had not been for his compa-
nion he should have fell in with it. He Lever saw a fire
burn so rapidly. There appeared to him to be two dis-
tinct fires.
Henry Andrew Mullett, an engineer in the Fire Bri-
gade, superinteuded 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
geld 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
found some metal rings, but no valuable 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 bad, 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 inferior description. Witness
also 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 ackett, who
had 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 CHIEF JUSTICE directed the jury that there were
three questions 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 art-,e 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 haveet a
beenri rea-
sonably correct, the third questionwould
h
the account was
was
arise. It
only arose supposing they round
not only incorrect, but incorrect thatandexcessive 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 plaintif bad
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 men ioned, sod 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 r: tired from the court to consider the
matter, and after being absent for three-quarters of an
hour they returned, and, in answer to questions left with
the officer of the court by his Lordship, they said that
they were usable to determine whether the fire Ives wil-
ful or eccidentul; but they found that the plaintiff, with
intent to deceive and defraud the defendants, made and
delivered a false and fraudulent state meat, greatly ex-

COURT OF EXCIIEQUER, July 5.
(Nisi Prius sitting at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIP!'
BARON and a Special July.)
MICILLAR V. HARRIS.

The plaintiff in this c.ise, who is a gentleman of for-
tune, residinz at Wandsworth Lodge, Tooting, sought
to recover compensation in damages frern the defendant',
a brewer, carrying on business in the liampstead-road,
for an injury that() to the plaintiff's horse and brougham
by the alleged negligent conduct of a drayman in the
service of the f,-nd,tnt.

After the usual amount of conflicting evidence,
The Lose CHIEF BARON left the case to the jury, in-
forming them that they must be of pinion that the ac-'
cident was occasioned alto -gether by the negligence or
mil:conduct of the defend,ined servants in order to entitle
the plah:tiff to a verdict.

The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, damages 44/ 6(1.

THE CoUNTRV MARKETS.
BitIS'POL, JULY s.—English wheat is in better supply, and
meets a dull sale at last week's rates. In foreign there has
been less disposition to operate, and sales have been restricted
at previous currencies. The flour trade is quiet, for grinding
barley there is a fair inquiry. Oats attract but little attention,
the demand being quite in retail, and values about the same.
In beans, but little doing. Wheat—English new, 40s to 453
per imperial quarter ; Foreign, 40s to 43s per 480Ibs • ditto
red fine qualities, 46s to 45s per 4801bs ; ditto ditto ordinary
ditto, 42s to 44s ditto ; ditto hard, 40s to 44s ditto. Barley—
English malting, 27s to 30s per imperial quarter ; ditto and
foreign grinding, 21s to 24a per 400155. Oats—Devon and
Welch, 17s 6d to 18s 6d per imperial quarter ; Irish, white,
19s to 21s per 3201bs ; ditto, black, 17s to 18s per imperial
quarter. Foreign, none. Beans—English, 30s to 36s per
imperial quarter ; foreign, 26s to 30s per imperial quarter.
Flour—English, seconds, 32s to 34s per sack ; American, &c.
sweet, ‘,'53 to 26s per barrel. The supply of wheat in Glou-
cester of home growth still comes to hand very scantily, yet the
demand is not brisk, although values must be noted Is per
quarter higher. Foreign is still in good supply, and taken
in limited quantities at about 6d per quarter over• last week's
prices. The arrivals were—in the Arthur Hondrine, 497
quarters wheat ; in the Sophia Klasina, 810 quarters oats ;
in the Jeune Louise, F 53 hectolitres grinding barley ; in
the Sabrina, 15 barrels oats ; in the Fanny, from Glou-
cester, 50i sacks flour • in the Taff, from ditto, 210 quar-
ters oats ; in the Matchless, from Skiskiol, 691 quarters bar-
ley; in the Benjamin' from Nantes, 1,611 hectolitres red wheat;
in the Victory, rom Dublin, 200 barrels oats; in the Harriet,
from Gloucester, 153 sacks flour; in the Juverna, from Cork,
15 barrels oats.

Bittainicileat, Jinx s.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 30th, the wheat trade ruled dull, at an advance
of Is per quarter. Barley fully as dear, with more inquiry
for grinding qualities. Oats sold slowly at former prices. On
beans and peas the turn was in favour of the seller. During
the present week the transactions in the trade have again been
limited. Our millers have not agreed as to advancing the flour,
and hold off rather than give the rates demanded for wheat.
we have an improved sale for heavy grinding barley. Oats
unaltered. Beans find buyers at quite as much money. No
transactions reported in peas. At this day's market there was
an increased supply of English wheat, and the trade was life-
less, at an advance of Is per quarter on all good qualities. In
barley no alteration. Oats were taken slowly, with the turn
in favour of the buyer. Beans and peas fully 83 dear.
DERBY, JULY 2.—The supply of fat beasts to-day was
about the average ; the quality generally was good, and higher
prices were asked for all kinds of beef; • there were severa
lots left on hand. The supply of sheep and lambs was abou
the tame as last week, but the demand was extremely flat.
Fat and store calves were more than equal co the demand.
Fat pigs were plentiful. Beef, 5d to bid ; mutton, 4d to
5d ; lambs, 18s to 21s ; veal, 4d to 5d per Ih. Rough fat,
3s 6:1 per stone of 141bs. Hides, 1 Vid per lb ; calf skins, '241
to 3V2d.
GLASGOW, JULY 4.—Our supplies consisted principally of
2,20 quarters of wheat from the Mediterranean, and 6,645
barrels of flour, 1,785 quarters of peas, and 453 quarters of
Indian corn from Transatlantic ports. Coastwise and from
Ireland they wire light. About 575 quarters of wheat and
883 quarters of barley reached Grangemouth from abroad.
The weather was much broken and cold during the week;
which, togetli9r with the small stock in the hands of holders,
assisted to impart greater firmness to the trade, and a fair
business occurred at the extreme rates of last Wednesday.
This day's market was moderately well attended, and scarcely
a quotable change took place ia the value of any article.
EDINBURGH, JULY 4.—The quantity of wheat brought
forward to-day was 756 qrs, being 141 qrs less than last week.
Top price Is up, and the average the same-133 qrs unsold.
The quantity of barley brought forward was 131 qrs, being
75 qrs leas than last week. Price on the top Is, and the
