drawal of the present amendment would acttle the differ-
ences at present exirting between the House of Commons
and the Courts of Law, for one of their Lordships had
stated that until the clause relative to Mr. Howard's action
was withdrawn, he would never consent to the passing of
the Bill. He believed the House of Commons was very
little aware of the strong feeling that existed among their
constituents on the subject of the privileges claimed by
that House of selling its papers.—( Hear. )
Lord DENMAN said he could not believe the House
of Commons would pass the Bill, if the present amend-
ment of the Learned and Noble Lord ( Wynford) was
adopted. The Bill did not apply to the House as the
sellers of libels but as the publishers of libels. He wished
there had been a proper opportunity of devising guards
against libels, which, however, had not occurred.
Lord WYNFORD replied, but was inaudible in the
Gallery.
Strangers were then ordered is withdraw, but tl'e House
did not divide, the amendment being withdrawn. Or, our
return,
Lord DENMAN moved that clause 3 should be omitted.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the difficulty was,
that the person bringing the action had represented to the
House of Commons that he did not bring it impugning
the privileges of the House of Commons, but on account
of the misconduct of their officer in executing the war-
rant, upon which the House allowed their officer to plead,
and found it difficult, under the circumstances, to stop
the action.
After a short conversation, the clause was withdrawn.
The Report was then agreed to, and the Bill ordered
to be read a third time to. morrow.
The House then adjourned until to-morrow, at Three
o'Clock.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

Eliza Emma, 42aged , was indicted for feloniously cutting and
wounding her husband Thomas Emms, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm. The particulars of the charge have already
appeared in the paper.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty of an assault only, and Mr.
BAnox Atnnasom sentenced her to be imprisoned for six months.
Ellis Coward, aged 44, was convicted of the manslaughter of
Charlotte Swell, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment.
DARING ROBBERY.—lgnatius Braithwaite, a respectable look.
ing man, aged 33, was indicted for assaulting, beating, and robbing
Mary Neale, upon the
Queen's highway.
It appeared from the evidence, that on a Saturday evening, in
the early part of the month of March, the prosecutrix was walking
along Baker.street, Portman.square, when she was suddenly attacked
by the prisoner who rushed upon her, and threw her against the
iron railings, and at the same moment seized her reticule, And
attempted to force it away from her. She struEgled violently with
him, and called for assistance, and the prisoner said he would
assist her if she.gave him her reticule, but she refused to
do so; at length, however, he succeeded in getting the re.
ticule from her, and ran away. The prosecutrix was very
much .urt in the struggle. Her hand was cut, and her arm was
bruised from the top to the bottom. The prisoner ran away, and as
he was doing so he was observed to throw something down an area,
and which afterwards proved to be the reticule of the prosecutrix.
The prisoner was stopped by a carpenter, who held him till the po.

lice came up.
The prisoner, in his defence, declared that he was innocent.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Baron ALonesax told the prisoner he had been convicted of a
most daring robbery, and there was another charge of a similar
kind against him. Under these circumstances the Court was b.ued
to pass a severe sentence. The prisoner was then ordered to be
transported for the term of his natural life.
ALLEGED MUTINY AT: SEA.—Francis Bolton, 27, William
lll‘Farlane, 26, David Jfraram, 21, James Sansome, 26, and
George Gumston, 21, mariners, were placed at the bar. The
charge against them was that of having piratically confined Thomas
Bainbridge, the master of the vessel called the Cubana, in the fore.
castle of his vessel, and also with having attempted to cause a re-
volt in the ship.
When the case was called on, Mr. Philips, who was instructed
for the prosecution, banded in some affidavits, to the effect that in
consequence of the absence of the captain of the vessel, the trial
could not come on at the present Session.
It was finally arranged that the prisoners should enter into their
own recognizances to appear and take their trial at the July Ses.
gong, with the exception of Grimston, against whom no evidence
was offered. A Jury was charged, and a verdict of acquittal re-
turned, upon which he was discharged.

therein property belonging to that nobleman. Mr. Gazelce
defended the prisoners.
The Jury found the prisoners guilty, and his Lordship sen-
tenced them to be transported for ten years.

MEMOIRS OF THE PRINCESS DASCHKAW,
LADY OF NONOUR TO CATWERINZ 11.---This is a production
which will take a high rank amidst that class of entertaining,
instructive, and important works termed memoirs, and of which
Europe, within the last sixty years, has been so prolific. The
Princess Daschkaw was born of the highest aristocracy of
Russia, and she came into this world in the important year
1744, and consequently had to go through life during the most
convulsed and awful of all the periods of modern history. She
was caressed, petted, and humoured in infancy by the Empress
Elizabeth, and as she Imperial
up amidst the Court Circle, and
the connexion of the Imperial Palace, she became the con-
fidant and bosom friend of that daring, haughty, abandoned,
profligate, and clever woman, the renowned Catherine 11.
ThAi princess Must have possessed extraordinary talent, as well
as no ordinary prudence, tact, and cunning, to acquire the con-
fidence of so acute and penetrating a woman as her imperial
mistress, and to preserve her influence in a Court full of spies,
sycophants, manceuvercrs, intriguers, andtyrants, who scrupled
as little in taking away the lift of a rival, as in destroying a re-
putation or receiving a bribe. Subsequently, the Princess
seems to have found it convenient to travel, and not having any
very strong inclination to a residence in Siberia, she bent her
steps to Germany, France, Italy, England, Ireland, and other
countries, her observations on which, with the incidents of her
residence in each, greatly enhance the interest of her memoirs,
which will, no doubt, soon occupy a place in every good
library.

indeed, of such an agitation may, for the present, be obviated,
