Reading truly the person with whom he had to deal, our
reporter addressed a note to the Chairman, explaining that
it was out of his power to comply with their request, as by
that time The Sun, containing a portion of this report, would
be issued to the public.
Of course the note was satisfactory to the Committee, and
the speed of The Sun somewhat took their Lordships by .sur-
prise.
The CRALRMAN intimated, that after this explanation, of
course the proceedings of the day could not be witheld fr om
the public, but it must be understood that this must not be
repeated.
The Committee then adjourned, we believe, until to-
morrow. We were unable, however, to ascertain the rest lit
of their deliberation.
We may remark that there was a marked contrast be - tween the language of the Noble Chairman and that of thi,3
elerk.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
The man whose name is said to be Hill, and who was
remanded to this day from the 28th of Ma), upon the
charge of being concerned, with Ann Cleveland, in the
murder of a male infant, her offspring, was again brought
before Mr. Jardine this morning, and Mrs. Cleveland
herself was placed at the bar with him for the first time.
She appeared to be exceedingly weak, and was therefore
allowed to sit down during the whole of the examination.
On being asked by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk,
whether he still persisted in his refusal to give his name,
the male prisoner replied that he did.
The evidence given on the several former examine
Lions was repeated at somewhat greater length, and
taken down in the form ce depositions.
Mr. Brooking, in cross-examination by Mr. Wolff,
said that the death of the child might, as tar as he could
judge from the appearance of the body, have been occa-
sioned by the pressure of the bedclothes, &c., ii placed
over the face. Anything that would so cover the mouth
and nose as to prevent respiration would, of course, pro-
duce suff 'cation; and there was nothing in the appear-
ance of the body to show that the cause was other than
accidental.
The witness Harriett Swan, who on former occasions
gave her evidence with great clearness and distinctness,
now hesitated very much, and on being asked the reason
of this change, replied, " Why I feel so queer this morn-
ing—l feel as if I could hardly speak." At one part of
her evidence she became so confused that she was obliged
to stop to collect herself, and it was some time before
she became sufficiently composed to go on with her evi.
dence.
One of the witnesses (Jane Johnson) said that after
giving her evidence at the inquest she remembered a
fact which she had not before stated, viz., that on one
occasion when Mrs. Cleveland was speaking
to her about
the child (then unborn) she observed that she was sorry
she had not killed the child, and that she would have
done so had she not feared the consequences.
On the conclusion of the examination (which lasted
for four hours), Mr. Wolff addressed the magistrate, en-
deavouring to show that there was no sufficient case
against either of the prisoners to justify their committal.
Mr. JARDINE said, that as there was nothing against
the man but the fact that he was seen to leave the house
with some appearance of concealment, which could easily
charge h
be accounted for under the circumstances, he would dis-
im. There was much force in Mr. Wolff' s ob-
servations on the case as it referred to the female prisoner,
but he considered the case required investigation, and he
would commit her for trial.
On hearing this decision the male prisoner imme-
diately left the dock, pushing rudely by the female pri-
soner, who looked imploringly in his face, and said
something in a low tone,:of which he took no notice.
Mrs. Cleveland, who appeared very mush agitated, was
then ,removed, the witnesses having been bound over to
prosecute at the Central Criminal Court.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Landon New Price Current of June 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day a further decline took place in the value
of all kinds of raw sugar, although the quantity pressed for
sale was not so large as it was last week. A further reduc-
tion of 6d to is having been submitted to for West India
Muscovado, occasiond fair purchases to be made in all kinds
both for the scale and pan.
REFINED. —To-day refined goods met with little attention
from the home trade, although there were sellers of brown
grocery lumps at 61s 6d to 625. A further increase has
taken place in the supply. Bonded Crushed Sugar is in
brisker demand.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, and
privately little business was done in any kind, whilst there
were sellers rather under former rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public auction amounted to 5,500 bags;
the demand was extremely limited, and a small part only
sold, although holders submitted to a reduction on former
rates of 6d to is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar met with little atten-
tion by private treaty from exporters or the home trade,
and purchases could be made upon rather lewer terms. None
was offered at public sale.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was not much desire
evinced to operate in Mocha coffee, and 121 bales 280 half
bales at public sale were only in part sold at rather lower
rates. For West India the market is quiet. Native Ceylon
is not much in request, and 1,806 bags were sold at rather
lower rates. Of Plantation 10 casks 837 bags were offeced;
the superior sorts fetched stiff rates, but the low and mid-
dling kinds only in part sold at rather lower prices.
COCOA.—To-day there was a little demand for West India,
and 471 bags Grenada at auction were only in part sold at
lower rates.
TES.--There are ready sellers of Congou upon previous
reduced terms, as the trade in both town and country operate
with caution, and the supply being large, especially of the

LAMBETH.
Alfred Marshall, the young man who had been ex-
amined on the preceding day on a charge of firing a
loaded pistol at Miss Louisa Rofe, with whom he was
desperately in love, was again placed at the bar before
Mr. Elliott.
Mr. Binns, the attorney, appeared for the prosecution;
- and Mr. Games for the defence.
After the examination of one witness, who deposed
to having seen the prisoner throw a stone over the
}i paling, and at the door of the house where the prosecu-
trix lived,
Mr. Binns made an application to the magistrate to
have the prisoner further remanded, so as to give him
time to summons three witness, whose testimony in the
case was most important.
Mr. Games said he had no objection whatever to is re-
, mend, provided the young man was admitted to bail, as
it was the wish of his client, as well as his friends, that
the fullest investigation should take place.
The prisoner was remanded for a week, but was ad-
mitted to bail, himself in 801. and two sureties in 401.
each, to appear on Tuesday next.
THAMES.
William Handley, a police-constable, No. 85 11, ap-
peared before Mr. Ballantine, by order of the Coirmis-
sioners of Police, to answer a charge of uttering a coun-
terfeit crown-piece.
Mary Simon, of No. 29, Hosier-lane, Smithfield,
stated that during the last Whitsuntide fair she was
assisting her mother, who opened a shop for the sale of
provisions, at the corner of Fairfield-place, Stepney. On
the evening of Wednesday, the 26th of May, the pri-
soner asked for a penny loaf and tendered in payment a
crown piece. She was unable to give change, and went
to the White Lion beer-shop, the next door but one to
the house she was in, to procure it. She returned with
ss. worth of good silver, and the policeman was then
standing outside the door, where she left him. He was
eating the loaf which he had purchased. She requested
him to wait a short time longer until she obtained some
coppers. She met her father-in-law, and asked him for
fivepence, which he gave her. As she was returning to
the house she met the policeman crossing the road eating
the loaf, but he did not ask her for the change or visit
the shop any more. On the following morning Mr.
Scarr, the landlord of the beer-house, returned the
crown-piece and said it was a bad one.
Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor, put some questions to
the witness, who said the police constable was standing
outside the shop when he asked for the loaf, and when he
;3." gave her the crown-piece he held it on the tip of his
finger. She said, " I must get you to wait till I procure
change."
The prisoner cross-examined the woman with much
• acuteness, and asked her if he did not give her the
crown-piece in mistake for a penny. She replied in the
negative. He then questioned her as to whether he
heard her say that she would procure change. Sit
f would not swear whether he heard her or net.
The policeman, in answer to the charge, said he was
. in possession of three crown pieces 014 the day in ques
don, arising out of three charges he had brought hefrre
his worship at thatcourt. The list charge was br,ught be-
fore the magistrate on the Tue slay in Whitsuis we..k. On
- the following day he received Sid, from his wife, and he
put on the same trou,ers. In ane of the pockets were
xd the three base cr..wris. He was stationed on duty its
Stepney fair, and he purchased the loaf, end tendered in
payment what he thought was a penny, end never wain d
'% for any change. He solemnly declared that he di 'l not
hear the complainant request him to wait for the change.
He was allowed, by the regulati,,iis of the police, to re-
tain possession of base coin for 21 days.
Mr. Powell said the regulation alluded to did exist,
and that the superintendent of each division of police de-
livered the base coin to the authorities of the Mint every
month.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he would do all in his power to
put an end to such an arrangement, which ought never
to have existed. Police constables ought not to retain
possession of base coin for one moment after they had
produced it in evidence. The superintendents or in-
specters were the prop: r persons to take charge of coon-
: terfeit money. If spurious coin was left in the posses -
A sion of police-constables it might get into circulation, as
0 was the case in the present instance.
e Ihspector Scott, of the II division, said the constable
5s had ?stated that which was incorrect, and was quite
6(.1 ienorant of the regulations of the force. It was his duty,
N after the case was disposed of, to deposit the base cr in
)% with the inspector at the station-house, enclosed in a
rOtit,_ piece of paper, with the name of the person charged, th,-,
;Is date, and other particulars, and at the expiration of
twenty-one days the superintendent would have for-
warded it to the solicitor of the Mint.
1 Mr. BALLANTINE—That is very proper and a per-
fectly practicable regulation. Why was it not done iu
this case?
The prisoner said he supposed he was to keep posses-
sion of the counterfeit crowns for twenty-one days, and
he carried them loose in his pocket. They were all
marked. The one in dispute was marked with the
initial " G. G." and a cross.
Inspector Ellis produced the counterfeit crown, which
was marked in the way stated. He received it of Mrs.
Simon's father-in-law.
Mrs. Moore stated that she was the mother-in-law of
Mr. Scurr, the landlord of the White Lion beer-shop,
and that she changed the crown-piece between the hours
of nine and ten o'clock, and not between the hours of
eight and nine, as stated by the first witness. There
was some doubt as to its being a good one when she
changed it, but Mr. Scurr's brother, on being referred
' to, said it was a good one. The complainant, Mrs.
Simon, said it must be a good one, for she had just
taken it of a policeman.
Joseph G. Scurr, landlord of the White Lion, stated
that he first discovered the crown-piece was a bad one,
and on returning it to Mrs. Simon she said she took it
of a police-constable as a penny-piece, in payment of a
penny-loaf, and that she laid the change, 4s. lid., on a
shelf, in expectation the constable would find out his
mistake and call for it.

Mr. BALLANTINE said he would give the prisoner the
benefit of the supposition that he had given the forged
piece in mistake for a penny, and diacharga him, but
he was not at all satisfied with his conduct. Whether
the Police Commissioners, who ought to make an in•
quiry, would be satisfied with Handley's conduct ho
would not say. He could not understand why the po-
lice-constable was allowed to have possession of base
coin at ail. The policeman must have known he had
lost ono of the spurious crowns ; and it was strange he
never made any inquiry after it, instead of leaving the
case to be made the subject of this investigation.
The prisoner said he did miss it on l'hursday night,
and made inquiries. He was then informed that the
base crown had been delivered to the superintendent.
Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, I am not satisfied, but I dis-
charge you as regal ds the uttering or counterfeit coin
knowingly.

HOUSE OF GuMMONS. June 8.
The SPEAKER. took the Chair at Four o'clock.
REPORTS.
T. 'e report on the South Eastern Railway (North
Kent and Bricklayers' Arms Junction), was brought up
and swreed to.
COVENTRY, BANBURY, AND OXFORD
JUNCTION.
Mr. DENNISTOUN moved the further consideration
of the report on the Coventry, Banbury, and Oxford
Junci :n Railway Bill.
Sir G. CLERK objected to the motion, and stated that
if it was acceded to he could not see how say objection
could be offered to the existence of the broad gauge to
Birmingham, Derby, or any part of the north of England.
After some observations from Mr. DENNISTOUN.
Mr. ELLICE supported the further consideration of
the report.
Mr. HUDSON thought there was no public call for
the Bid, and he should therefore object to the reception
of the retort.
Mr. WILLIAMS said he had never seen such a
lamentable degree of ignorance displayed as had just
been exhibited by the Hon. Member wh,) had just sat
down—(Laughter)—such lamentable ignorance that the
merest boy from a Sunday-school would be ashamed of
it. And he spoke of his disinterestedness. His disin.
terestedness Why, the House knew what that meant.
—(Laughter.) But after such a display of ignorance
he would not detain the House by one word of reply
to him. He (Mr. Williams) then contended that the
London and North-Western was a glant monopoly,
which ought to be put an end to, and therefore he should
support this Bill.
Colonel ANSON opposed the further consideration of
the Bill.
Mr. COLLINS supported the Bill. In his opinion the
London and North-Western Railway was the best ma-
naged in the kingdom ; its fares were the lowest, and it
afforded the most accommodation to the public.
Mr.ELLICE said, had he been aware that this line had
been offered to the London and North-Western Com
pany for sale, he should have taken no part in the dis
cussion.

ALARMING RAILWAY RIOT.—It appears from the
Fifeshire papers that serious disturbances have taken place,
during the last few days, among the labourers on the Edin-
burgh and Northern Railway. On Saturday last, being the
pay day on the Gallatown section, some squabbling ensued
between the Highlandmen and Irishmen, and two or three
broken heads were the consequence. The police, how-
ever,: by apprehending some half-dozen of the ring-
leaders, succeeded iu restoring quietness for the night.
The prisoners were lodged in the lock-up house at Path-
head, and on Tuesday morning last were brought into
Cupar, where two of them were sentenced to forty days',
and two to sixty days' imprisonment each. The case of the
others being of a more serious nature is under investigation.
On Sunday morning, it was evident, from the numbers
banging about the streets, that there was considerable risk
of a collision between the Highlanders and the Irishmen.
The Irishmen turned out to the number of between sixty arc;
seventy; and having sent off a dispatch to the Links of Kir-
kaldy for a reinforcement from their countrymen-residing
there, about three o'clock a body of no fewer than about 500
marched in regular procession, with railing stobs, rails,
shovels, and pokers, through Kirkaldy, till they joined their
comrades, when the crowd, of one sort or other, might
amount to more than 1,000. Against these, about 200 High-
landers, some of whom were armed with knives and dirks,
marched up, but, finding their inferiority of numbers, re-
treated, and hence no collision took place. For a time the
town was completely in the possession of these armed men.

POTATOES FROM DENMARK.-0o Tuesday last
Mr. Miller, from Glasgow, exposed a very fine sample
of potatoes imported for seed from Denmark. They
were part of a cargo of eleven tons purchased at Holstein
by a brother of Mr. Miller, assisted in his selection by
eas: experienced nurseryman in that place. The sample
in ciii„:- market was purchased in small lots by various
parties, at the rate of I Is. per cwt., or 111. per ton. An

Mr. ➢ENISON denied that the directors had eYer
offered to sell the line.

Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS said he could prove that
the line was offered by an authorised party to the
London and North-Western Company at 51. premium.
Mr. ROEBUCK said they ought to support the deci.
si n of their Select Committee. If the House had no
confidence in these tribunals it ought to abolish them.
Mr. STRU II? opposed the Bill on the ground that
the line was not of sufficient importance to justify their
passing it, in violation of the resolutions of the House
on the subject of the gauges.
ROYAL ASSENT.
The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar of
the House and summoned it to attend the House of
Lords to hear the Royal Assent given by commission to
various public and private Bills (for the names of which
see Lords' report).
Mr. H. HINDE said that he did not think that the
word gauge should be in the Bill at all, and if it were
competent to him to move with,.ut having given notice
he should move that the Hord " gauge" be struck ou;
from the report of the Committee,*or if it were not
com-
petent in him, without having given
notice, he would
give notice that he 'should move that the word "gauge" , •

Dr. NICHOLL contendd that Parliament had con-
templated a future period when a deviation from the
4 feet 8 inch gauge would be necessary, and therefore be
should support the decision of the Committee.
Mr. STRUTT explained.
Sir G. STRICKLA,ND said that where the Com-
mittee thought they Mold pass a line on the Wan
gauge principle they hail a right to do so, and the House
should support the decision.
Mr. FERRAND said he thought that public B
should have precedence of these private Bills. He ban

occupied with discussions on these private Bills.

IRISH ELECTIONS.
Earl ST. GERMANS rose, pursuant to notice, to put
a question to the Noble Marquis the Lord President of
the Council, relative to polling votes at Irish elections.
Their Lordships were aware that, under the existing
law, the polling at Irish elections was kept open for five
days, and the system was productive of great incon-
venience both to the electors and the elected. Now he
wanted to ask the Noble Marquis if it would not be ex-
pedient to introduce a measure to assimilate the law of
Ireland to the law of England ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE entirely agreed with
all that had fallen from the Noble Lord respecting the
desirableness of the shortening the time for polling is Ire-
land, but there were such difficulties in the way of carry-
ing such a measure into execution, that he was afraid
nothing could be done for that purpose during the pre-
sent session. The subject, however, was under the con-
sideration of the Government, but he could not say
when a measure would be brought forward respecting it.
NATIONAL SCHOOLMASTERS.
The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that on Friday
next he would move a resolution to the effect that every
one in holy orders, but not « xercising any ecclesiastical
function in the Established Church, should be considered
eligible to the situation of schoolmaster tower the
Government scheme of education
THE BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.
The Earl of CiIICHESTER, the Chairman of the
Commie tee appoined to investigate the allegations in
the petitions presented from some of the share-
holders in this line by Lord Lyndhurst, reported
that the Committee had met to-day (the proceedings will
be found fully reported in another part of The Sun),
arid that they had come to the opinion that, supposing
all the allegations were proved, they could only esta-
blish the fact that certain parties had bought
up a number of shares in the Birmingham and
Oxford Company. It appeared, however to the Com-
mittee, that it was the intention of the Legislature that
the Birmingham and Oxford, and the Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Dudley, should be amalga-
mated, and that they should open up competition in
the distriat which they were prepared to traverse.
But the Committee were unwilling, without further in-
structions from the House, to go into further evidence,
which it seemed to them would not be calculated to
enable them to suggest to the Legislature any measure
which might remedy the evil complained of.
Lord BROUGHAM moved that the petition be
printed, and that its further consideration be postponed
until Friday next.
Earl FITZWILLIAM thought it would be a great
misfortune if the Comittee closed its labours in the way
mentioned in the report. He had been much in favour
of the appointment of the Committee, because he
thought that through its medium they would have got
at the evil, not in this particular transaction, but others
of a similar kind, which prevailed in connexion with
other railway companies.
After some conversation the motion was agreed to.
SEE OF MANCHESTER.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE la geed to lay on their
Lordships table a Bill for the constitution of the new
Bishopric of Manchester, and moved the first reading
of the Bill, to be'read a second time on Thursday next.
Lord BROUGHAM, advancing to the table, seized
up the Bill as soon as it had dropped from the fingers
of the Noble Marquis, and, after looking in vain for the
provisions of the Bill, asked the NoblelMarquis if that
was the Bill, holding up at the same time a parcel of
blank paper amid shouts of laughter.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—Oh, it's a mis-
take.—(Rene wed laughter).
Lord CAMPBELL—It is matter of history that there
have been former Lord Chancellors who have presided
on your woolsack, and laid on your Lordships table
again and again Bills which were a mere sheet of blank
paLer.

BROUGHAM—I wish all Irish Lord Chan-

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Mr. GISBORNE rose to call the attention of the
House to a paragraph which appeared in the Tinsel
newspaper connected with the late lamentable loss of
life at Dee Bridge. Mr. Locke (who was doubtless well
known to many Members of that House as an eminent
e..gmeer, who had been particularly fortunate in the
character and stability of his works), was reported
to have said at the coroner's inquest that great blame
was attached to the Board of Works, the Railway Com-
missioners, and the Admiralty, who required that bridges
should be built with that large span which was likely to
endanger the safety of human life. He (Mr. Gisborne),
thought it his duty to bring forward this matter before
the House ; but before he did so, he referred to Mr.
Locke himself, and he would, as nearly as he could
recollect, state what was the substance of the conversa-
tion held with that gentleman. After some remarks,
Mr. Locke said that the Lords of the Admiralty and the
Board of Trade were disposed in the first case to attend
more to the requirements of the water way than to
the safety of the public He added that
Stephenson, Mr. Mr. Brunel, and himself had etl.fsreasea
a letter to Lord Dalhousie, embodying these opinions,
which letter had never been replied to. He (Mr. Glll. •
borne) thought it right to bring this matter before the
House in order to give his Right Hon. Friend at the
