NATIONAL EDUCATION.
_ _

Mr. MILES had intended to call the attention of the
House to the question of national education,
but ho n-gretted to say - than he had not
vet had en opportunity of doing so. In the
event, therf fore, of his nut being able to do so before
the ch,se of the session, ho b...ggett to give notice that
early next session he should call the' attention of the
House to the restrictions itersal upon the founders of

tion. . .
PLURALITY BENEFICES.

-
Mr. FREW- EN ttAi.‘ d the Right Hut,. Baronet the
Secretary et State fur the Home Dt-partmenr, if he had
examined a return nr:ved tor by Mr. Hume' of all
clergymen holding two or more benefit-s and prefer-
ments in the Church, and appointed since the passing
of the Act called .4 The PluralitieaAct;". whether he
is aware that by this return five hundred and eighty-
nine clergymentbave been- appointed to benefices in
plurality since the passing of this Act about eleven years
ago, it having become law on the 14th of August, 1838,
being an average of fifty-three and a half in each
year; whether he approves of so many clergymen
monopolizing Church property to themselves, and if it
is the wish of her Majesty's Government that fifty
clergymen should' be appointed in each year to benefices
in plurality; also, it he is aware that s .me of the bene-
fices included in the above return are stated to be of less
value and smaller population than they are stated to be
in the clergy list?
Sir GEORGE 'GREY had been unable to give any
attention to the return; but he had no doubt the results
stated by the Honourable Gentleman were correct. With
regard to the latter p )rtiun of the question, he was not
in possession of sufficient information to enable him to
spy ak on the subject.
PUBLIC RECORDS.

Mr. HENRY- DRUMMOND wished to know from the
Right Hon. Baronet when the long-promised and long-
car,ected report in reference to the state of the public
records was likely to be laid on the table?

Sir GEORGE GREY had communicated with the
Master of the Rolls 441 the subject, and he was happy to
say Lord Lankclale hoped and believed the report would
be ready in the course of the present session.
AUSTRALIAN COLONIES BILL.

Mr. ADi)ERLY wished to know from the Noble
Lard at the head of the Government, whether he in-
tended that the Bill for framing a new constitution for
the five Australian colonies should be read a
second time on Thursday . morniog after the
Irish Judgments Bill had born disposed of. He
Noble Lord was aware that the House was appointed to
meet at 12 o'clock on Thursday for the purpose, and be
bad reason to believe that it tho discussion on the Judg-
ments Ireland Bill came on at that hour it would extend
considerably beyond two o'clock.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was not intended to
take the Judgments Ireland Bill- before the Australian
Cohnies

Mr. DIVETT thought it seas extremely desirable that
the opinion of the colonEes should be taken before any
legislation took Place on the subject. •

CHOLUA AT BRISTOL.

Mr. 11. BERKELEY wished to ask a question in
consequence of the epidemic which was now raging in
the country. In the city of Bristol the cholera had
broken out,tbeplace first sAacked being a very unhealthy
and unwholesome situation, and being in the immediate
vicinity of an overladen and pestilential graveyard,
where bodies had not been [properly interred, no less
than twenty Maths took place immediately on the
appearance of the cholera in this neighbourhood.
The question, therefore, which he wished to ask
as it was impo:-sible to bring in a Bill this session to pre-
vent intramural interments, whether Her Majesty's Go-
vernment did not feel it necessary, under the prevalence
of this epidemic, to introduce a short Bill tea a tem-
porary me.sure fur th purpose of investing the
local authori,i2s with power to prohibit interments in
churchyards in cases where they were considered
dangerous to the pubio heath.
Sir G. GREY said he had received no representation
of the cases v.hich the ilocourWe Member had rated bad
occurred at Bristol, but if what be stated were correct—
that the bodies were not properly interred but were ex-
posed, he apprehended th:.t the conduct of the authorities
connected with the churchyard was illcgal.—(llear.)
With reference to the other part of the
question, he would call the, attention of the Lion. Gen-
tleman to the provisions of the existing law. The 1 t and 12
Vic. cap. 63 sec. 82, passed last session, gave power to the
General BOA rd of Health to prohibit burials in a church-
yard, when it v, as represented by the local board that it
was dangerous to the public health. There was also
another provision giving power to the authorities to pro-
vide another churthyard for the accommodation of
burials where necessary.
Mr. H. BERKELEY obsorsed that what he had
stated had occurred not only at Bristol but in every
large town in the kingdom.
ORANGEMEN IN IRELAND.

Lord CASTLEREA.GLI rose to ask the Right Hon.
Baronet at the head of the Home Department whether
he had received any official inform3tion of a fatal colli-
sion having taken place between a party of Ribbonmen
and a party of Orangemen, near Castle Wellan' in Ire-
land, and also whether it was the intention of Govern-
ment to bring in any Bill to put an end to such things?
Sir GEORGE GREY said he was sorry to say that
he had received intelligence of such a c Ilision from the
superintending magistrate of that district. The extent
of the number of killed wa=, he was informed,
five, of whom four were Ribbonmen and one an
Orangeman. The Noble Lord was quite correct in
stating that the Act under which party processions in
Ireland were prohibited had lately expired. But the
Government had hoped that the decrease of party feeling
in Ireland wculd have been sufficient to prevent a recur-
rence of such scenes.

Lord CASTLEREAGH reminded the Right Hon.
Baronet that he had not answered the last part of his
question.
_ _ _

Sir G. GREY said that it would be necessary to have
a full report of all the circumstances of the affair, before
they cou!d determine in what manner to legisl4te.

INDIAN MEDALS'
Mr. FIUME rose to make an inquiry with respect to
the Indian medals. Sometime ago he bad made a mo-
tion for the production of rules and regulations in force
with respect to the distribution of these, and be wished
to kaow if the Government would lay on the table any
correspondence wish the Court of Directors on this
subject.
Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE said that the regulation
with respect to these medals was that no medal could
be given to any soldier or officer for any action but for
those in which some gerund officer or commander-in-
chief had served and obtained a medal.

In answer to another question from Mr. HUME,
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to state, that with
regard to St. John's Hospital, his Learned Friend, the
Attorney-General, would consider which r ay the inquiry
should take place.
ENCUMBERED ESTATES BILL

Mr. B. OSBORNE said that as the Encumbered
Estates Bill stood for to night, he wished to know
whether the Noble Lord would inform them who the
Commissioners were to be.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not at present state
the names of .the Commissioners, because he had not re-
ceived the assent of the gentlemen to whom he had
offered the offices. He was anxious tiTat the persons
who were appointed to the post should be qualified in
every respect for the duties they were called upon to
discharge,

P.EMUNERATION OF MEDICAL OFFICERS.
Mr. DISRAELI wished to know from the President
of the Poor-lacy Board, if the Poor-law Commissi,,ners
bad como to any determination to increase the
remuneration of Poor-law medical officers in cons- quence
of their increased duties in connexion with the Board of
Health. He believed the President of the Poor-law
Commission had the power to make an order upon
increased remuneration. It would be very satisfactory
to the profession if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
would state the course he intended to pursue.
Mr. BARNES was understood to say that the ques-
tion was under the consideration of the board.
In reply to Mr. MACKINNON,
Lord ASHLEY stated that the Bishop- of London
bad intimated that interments in his diocese would be
suspended if the President of the Board of Health deemed it
necessary, and that no resumption of them would 'take
place until it was deemed proper to do so.
mEoNNCsEULMLBEnaRkEedD EwhSaTtATthEeSNBoIbL.
Mr. leLLord
in-
tended'to do with respect to this Bill?
Lord J. RUSSELL hoped to be enabled to proceed
with it this evening; but if not, he intended to proceed
with it to morrow.

Colonel DUNNE hoped tho Noblo Lard would not
take the Bill at twelve o'clock to-morrow. The Irish
Members were desirous of confining the debate to one
night.
VAN COUVER'S ISLAND.

Lord LINCOLN intimated that it was itrpomible
according to the rules of the House that he could bring
on his motion on this subject again this session. Ile
therefore begged to withdraw it.

SUPPLY.
On the motion for the House resolving &elf into a
Committee of Supply on the ordnance estimates,
Mr. HENLEY rose, pursuant to notice, to move—
That a reduction of 10 per cenr. be made in all eateries
in the Ordnance department, and in all other depart-
ments of Government at home and abroad.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
ORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 13

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice %VD:armAN.)
John Dale was charged with having, at Northallerton,
on the 11th day of May hat, feloniously uttered two
forged 51. Bank of England notes.
Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Adolphus, appeared for
the prosecution. Mr. Overend defended the•prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Thomas Longstaff, of
Yafforth, near Northallerton, took his cow to the fair at
that place on the 1 lth of Mly. Not being able to sell
her he was returning home, when he was fo:lowed by
the prisoner, wlio demanded to know the price of the
cow. The proneutor asked 91. 10s.' but at length it was
agreed that 91. should be taken, and the prisoner paid
the money by two 5L notes, receiving a sovereign in
change, and a shilling f r " hick." The prisoner then
drove the cow back to Northallerton, and the prosecutor
proceeded to Yefforth, but in the afternoon he returned
to Northallerton, and on trying to get the notes changed
at two of the banks he found that they were forgeries.
He then informed a cattle dealer, named Rickaby, of
what had occurred, who in tke evening saw the prisoner
at the Durham Ox public-house in Craike, and in the
stable he saw the cow: Coneeiving it to bo the animal
which the prosecutor had mentioned as having sold, he
charged the prisoner with having bought her and paid for
her with two forged notes; the prisoner admitted having
bought the cow, but denied that the notes were bad, and
stated that he had received them from a man named
Fewster (who, it appeared had suddenly decamped), but
that he would take the notes back, and return the cow.
A saddler, named Wightman, had likewise met the pri-
soner the same day driving the cow very fast, near
Newbarough, and asked him whether he had not bought
the cow at Northallerton, to which the prisoner replied
that he had not, but that he had bought her at Sutton-
noder-WhitestonecliffJ. Information. having been given
to the police, the prisoner was apprehended next morn-
ing at Easingwold.
Mr. OVEREND addrossed the jury for the prisoner.

Verdict Guilty. Sentence, ten wyars' transportation
NISI PRI US COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATrEsozi..

APPLEYARD V. ROSS.

Mr. Sergeant Wilking and Mr. Atherton Appeared for
the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Cowling, f)r the
defendant.

This was an action for libel. It appeared that the
plaintiff had been in the service of the defendant, who is
a draper at Dritfield, and had travelled for him for
twelve months, soliciting orders, at the end of which
period the defendant wished the plaintiff to agree to
serve him for three years longer, and to bind himself
not to set up in business in the defendant's district.
Not being able to agree, they separated, and the plain-
tiff shortly after commenced business on his own ac•
count, and then the defendant issued the following
placard:—
" Notice, to all whom it may concern, that William
Ross, draper, Driffield, did, on the 15th of January last,
discharge from his employ, John Appleyard, for im-
proper conduct, and finding that the said John Apple-
yard, having obtained a bundle of print patterns, Bcm, is
perambulating the district that he went oven when in my
employ, contrary to the express condition which he at
first entered into with me, showing patterns and endea-
vouring to palm off goods in. my name, I hereby warn
all parties on whom he may try the imposition, after this
date, from paying him any money, or entrusting him
with any orders on my behalf on any pretext whatever.
• " WILLIAM Ross.

" Dated Drifileld, March sth, 1849."
Mr. •MARTIN having addressed the jury for fhe de-
fendan?, in mitigation of damages, on the ground of the
previous relative position of the plaintiff and the de-
fendant, the jury returned a •verdict for the plaintiff—
D.imuges, 501. • • •

BROWN V. THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.

This was an action on the case to recover from the
defendants, as carriers, the sum of 281, the value of
damage which goods of the plaintiff had sustained in
their transit from Salford -to Hull. The defendant
pleaded Not Guilty; that they were not common carriers
from Salford to Hull; that the gouda were not delivered
to them as euch carriers, to be carried from Salford to
Hull; and that they were improperly packed when de-
livered.

Mr. Knowles, Q C., and Mr. Grainger appeared for
the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, Q.O , and Mr. Addison, for
the defendan%

The plaintiff is a linen•draper, and is in the habit of
going to the different large towns in the country for the
purpose of selling his goods. On the 28th of March,
1848, he was at Bolton, in Lancashire, and being about
to proceed to Hull, he had his goods packed up in a
hamper, a box, and a bale, and booked them by the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, first to Safford, and
then forward to Hull. The plaintiff went by another
train, and on his arrival he inquired for his goods,
which, however, were not forthcoming for a day or two,
and then he found that some of them were damaged and
some stolen. It had not been discovered where the
dtfmage had happened—whether on the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway, or on the York and North Midland,
which joins the former at Normanton. The goods had,
however, been delivered to the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway, who had given a receipt for them.
His LORDSH/P being of opinion that the contract had
been made with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway,
and not with the defendants,

The plaintiff agreed to be nonsuited, with leave to
move to enter a verdict for 13/. (the value of the articles
d tmeged and lost, which were not of a silken material,
the defendants being 'protected as to those by the Car-
riers Act), if the Court above should be of opinion that
the defendants were in law liable.
July 14.
CROWN COURT.— (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTHAN.)
DESTROYING A COAL MINE.—John Harrison was in-
dicted for having, at Wath-upon-Dearnes, in the West
Riding, on the 10th day of March last, feloniously filled
up and obstructed a certain air-way belonging to a coal
mine, the property of John Dobson Charlesworth and
others, with intent to . destroy the said mine, and to
hinder and delay the working thereof.
Mr. Overend and Mr. Charlesworth prosecuted; Mr.
Joseph Pollock defended the prisoner.
It appeared that on Saturday, the 10th of March last,
the prisoner was working in the colliery in question,
which is called the Swinton Park Colliery and extends
about 1,500 yards under the surface of the ground; in
order to give proper air to the workmen, there are air
pipes or passages which convey pure air down to the
pit, and others which convey the foul air away. These
pipes are essential for the working of the mine. On the
day in question, which was Saturday, the prisoner re •
mauled working in the colliery until all the workmen
had left. On the Monday (as was the custom), the
steward of the mine descended before the other worts.
men, to see that there was sufficient air in it, and that
the pipes were clear. On descending with the Davy
lamp, he found that it indicated foul air, and upon
searching for the cause, it was found that the air-pipes
were filled or stopped up with shale. The prisoner, not
coming 'to his work at the usual hour on the Monday,
was asked about the pipes, and he replied, " That be
d—d! I did it while I got some wood." ,
The prosecutors asserted that the prisoner had had a
dispute about his wages, and which accounted for his
having maliciously filled up the pipes.
Mr. JOSEPH POLLOCK, in addressing the jury for the
prisoner, said he thought the prisoner had shown great
carelessness and recklessness, yet that there Was not
sufficient malice shown requisite to support the indict-
ment.
His LORDSHIP summed up.—Verdict, Not Guilty.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.— Winchester, July 13.
CROWN COURT•—(Before Mr. Justice WiLtrams )
George Newbury, was indicted for the miushiught,r
of Henry Johnson !al aged fifteen 3 ear), at Canis.
brook, in the Isle of Wight.
Mr. Poubien was c‘ity,sel for the prosecution; Mr. N.
M. Cooke defended the prisoner.

_
It appeared from the evidence that on the 7th of Juno
the deceased was at the Buglo Inn, at Carishroolc. Alt
about four o'clock in the atternovn the prisoner came
into the inn yard, and aectbyd the deceased of having
thrown a stono at his daughter, and also with having
worried his dog. The deceased denied this, and an al-
tercAtiQu took pine between Own. Who prisoner shost
