Mr. Justice COLERIDGE inquired if the plaintiff ac-
cepted the costs and attended the second trial.
Mr. HUGH HILL replied that be did, but it was in
ignorance of the law.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said the point involved in the
case was certainly an important one, but he was afraid
if he granted a rule it would be got rid of without argu-
ment by the other side, urging that the plaintiff having
accepted the costs and attended the new trial, he had
virtually acquiesced in the irregularity of the proceeding.
The rule was accordingly refused.

DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE WITH

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Ellen Montague, a notorious smasher, was placed be-
fore Mr. Hardwick, charged with uttering a counterfeit
half-crown.
Mr. William Brettell, print!r, 26, New Bond-street,
said about six o'clock the previous evening the prisoner
came to his shop, and asked him if he had any postage-
stamps ? He told her that he had not got any, when
she said she would take some letter paper and a few
envelopes, which amounted to sixpence, in payment for
which she tendered the base coin produced. He looked
very hard at the prisoner, and having identified her as
having passed a counterfeit half-crown at his shop a
fortnight ago, he sent for a constable, and gave her into

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
(THIS DAY.)
The delegates met this morning at the usual hour,
and proceeded with the consideration of the adjourned
debate upon the motion for raising the sum of 5,0001. to
enable the Assembly to prosecute the movement with
renewed vigour.
Considerable discussion took place on an amendment,
to the effect, that it was necessary to lay down some line
of policy, or state to the people what they intended to
do will the money when they got it, as it appeared to
be a very general opinion that the people would not
subscribe the money unless they knew in which manner
it was to be disposed of.
One of the delegates objected that the sum of 5,0001.
was too small, and proposed to make it 10,000/.
The motion thus amended for raising the money at
once, leaving the mode of its employment to be hereafter
decided, was ultimately carried by a large majority, and
a committee appointed to consider and devise the best
means to be adopted for raising the required sum.
The Assembly adjourned at the usual hour.

Lord STANLEY rose to move for the production of
the correspondence which had been published in
the newspapers as a correspondence alleged to have
take place between her Majesty's Government mid the
Government of Spain, a correspondence of which, he
feared, the Government could net deny the authenticity.
He should be glad to hear what the Government could
urge in extenuation of their conduct. The Noble
Viscount, to whose management the foreign affairs of
this country were entrusted, appeared to be actuated by
two motives; first, an exaggerated jealousy of the in-
fluence of France ; and, secondly, a morbid desire of
interfering and intermeddling in the affairs of other
countries. He (Lord Stanley) did not consider it ad-
vantageous for the interests of this country, that it
should be said that the dismissal of one Minister, or the
appointment of another, in foreign countries should be
brought about by the direct or by the indirect inter-
erence of this country.—(Hear, hear.) British influ-
ence was best upheld by abstaining from interfering
with the internal affairs of any country, and more espe-
cially was that true with regard to Spain, the proudest
country in the world. He knew of no interest that
this country had, except that other countries should
be prosperous. Last session he had objected to
the interferenc which had taken place in Portugal,
and subsequent events had convinced him of
the correctness of the opinions he had then expressed.
He believed that France had had no intention of inter-
fering, and he thought that England might have pre-
vented the interference of Spain. In this session they
had done nothing but interfere. In Italy they had had
Lord Mint° the presiding genius who was
" To ride the whirlwind and direct the storm."'

AFTERNOON SITTING.
At the re-assembling in the afternoon,
Mr. RANKIN withdrew his amendment, and
NAME OF THE ASSEMBLY.
Mr. ADAMS moved an amendment upon the motion of
Mr. Clarke that the assembly should be called the " Na-
tional Chartist Association, to the effect—That this
Assembly is of opinion that national distinetions are
utterly inimical to the principles of universal brother-
hood, and therefore resolves that the Association now to
be formed shall be denominated the " C h artist Confe-
deration of Great Britain and Ireland," for the immediate
enactment of the principles of the People's Charter, and
further, that such association shall be so constructed as
to give the greatest possible amount of control over the
funds contributed by the various localities to the resi-
dent members, consistent with the existence of a cen-
tralized organization.
Mr. SHERRIN seconded the amendment.
Mr. KYDD objected to the alteration of the name,
which, he said, was so established in the minds of the
people of England, that every man would continue to call
them Chartists, although they termed themselves Demo•
cratic Confederates.
Mr. HENRY said he would as soon have the name of
his country changed as the name " Chartist," but he did
not think that the amendment of Mr. Adams would have

What had been the result ? Had our influence in Italy
been increased by it ? Had we acquired the power
of calming or directing the storm there ? What British
object was gained by the establishment of a Sicilian
Parliament? Yet there we had interfered, and in the
presence and under the mediation of the British
Ambassador a constitution had been extorted from
the King of Naples, one of the conditions of which was
that no religion but the Roman Catholic should be tole-
rated. He presumed it was not by British advice that
Sicily had separated from Naples.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

that effect, its object being merely to give the association
a more universal designation.
Mr. ERNEST JONES opposed tho amendment.
Dr. M'DoNALL said he would sooner die than give up

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
THIRD READINGS.
The following Bills were read a third time and passed :
Birkenhead Dock Company Bill.
East Indian Railway Company Incorporation Bill.
Leishman's Estate (Govan Glebe Fening) Bill.
Penzance Waterworks Bill.
QUEENSFERRY PASSAGE BILL.
On the motion for the further consideration of the
report upon this Bill.
Mr. BERNAL called the attention of the House to
the fact that a manuscript clause, giving most
extensive powers, had been inserted in the Bill
it, Committee, contrary to the standing orders of the
House, which would have a most unjust and opprestive
effect upon all vessels coming into the harbour.
Mr. R. YORKE said that, as one of the members of
the Committee, he was not aware that he was acting
contrary to the usual course by allowing the insertion of

the name of Chartist.
Mr. ADAMS observed that they might as well desig-
nate it " O'Connor's Association" as not change the
name, for people now looked upon it as identified with
him.
Mr. HARLZY hoped Mr. O'Connor would make his
appearance among them, that they might say what they
thought of him before his face. He proceeded to make
a violent attack upon Mr. O'Connor amidst some dissent
and uproar, but was called to order by Mr. MGrath,
who said he would not allow that gentleman's con-
duct to be vilified during his absence. whereupon
Mr. Harley retaliated, by observing that some one
had said that they were not disjointed, but he would ask,
where were the joints ? For his part he thought they
were entirely disjointed, and at difference one with
another.
A most violent and noisy scene then ensued upon some
observations of Mr. Sherrin, attacking the National
Chartist Association, which he said had sent persons to
Scotland ito attend meetings and instruct the people,
but who were quite unable to do so from ab-
solute drunkenness. He was called to order, but several
delegates rose and protested that every one in the as-
sembly should enjoy full liberty of speech, and that Mr.
Sherrin should be allowed to go on. The uproar and
clashing of tongues were so great that the business could
not proceed for some time; in the midst of which Mr. West
rose and, striking the table, said he would tender his
resignation to-morrow morning, unless an inquiry was
made into the truth of the accusation.
Ultimately order was restored, and the delegates pro-
ceeded to express their opinions upon the motion and the
amendment.
A vote was then taken, and the amendment negatived
by a very large majority, and consequently the name of
the body for the future will be " The National Chartist
Association."
After the transaction of some other business, the meet-
ing adjourned.

the clause.
After a few words from the Lord Advocate, Sir W.
Heatheote, and Mr. Gibson Craig, the motion was with-
drawn, and the further consideration of the report
ordered for Tuesday next.
The reports upon the National Monument of Scotland
Amendment Bid, and the Lambeth Waterworks Bill,
were further considered and agreed to.
Mr. MUNTZ presented a petition from a Mr. Thomas
Adams, formerly a member of the House. in which he
stated that the French Revolutions of 1830 and 1848.
were caused almost entirely by the pressure of
I great distress upon the inhabitants, which dis-
tress was mainly attributable to the bad and
faulty state of the monetary laws, and that
Charles X. and Louis Philippe, instead of exa
mining into the distress of the people, pursued a
despotic and tyrannous policy. He, therefore, warned
the House of their danger, and prayed for the adoption
of some measures more consistent with the rights and
interests of the people than had been adopted for the

last thirty years.
Petitions were also presented by
Mr. WILLIAMS, from the Mayor and Corporotion
of the Borough of Macclesfield, against the Health of

FATAL ACCIDENT.-(THIS DAY

It is with extreme regret that we have to announce
the death of Mr. Dakin, the celebrated tea and coffee
merchant, of St. Paul's Church- yard, which took place in
consequence of the frightful injuries which he received
by an explosion that occurred on his premises in
Blacktriars this afternoon. It appeared that Mr.
Dakin was experimenting or trying the effects
of some new patent coffee-roasting machine,
and while engaged i❑ the operation one of the pipes of
the machine, trom some cause or other which has not
yet been ascertained, exploded with fearful violence, and
killed the unfortunate gentleman upon the spot. It is
needless to detail the horror and amazement which
such a sudden and unlooked for catastrophe created
in the minds of those who witnessed the accident ;
nor the grief which it occasioned to the friends of the
deceased, and also to those in his employ, when the
melancholy intelligence was conveyed to them. Mr.
Dakin has always maintained a high character in the
city of London as a citizen, and as an upright, honest,
and enterprising tradesman, and his loss will no doubt
in some quarters be felt very severely.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
5.0 m the returns made in the week ending May 2,
1848. is 24e. 3314 d. per Met.

so framed that no exception had been made against the
goods landed at Singapore, re-shipped, and then imported
into India. An impression consequently prevailed, that
any goods landed at Singapore and reshipped could enter
any port in India free from all duties. He begged leave,
therefore, to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether this
impression o❑ the public mind bo or be not correct, and
if it be correct, whether any instructions to that eff,:ct
went out from this country, or whether it had arisen
through some oversight or mistake on the part of the
Governor-General of India.
Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said the matter had not es-
caped his observation, and he had applied to the India
Board for information on the subject. He had no doubt,
however, that the exception of the port of Singapore
in the Act arose from an oversight.
Mr. ROBINSON wished to know whether the Act
could come into operation without receiving the sanction
of the Home Government.
Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE reminded the Honourable
Gentleman that it had already received the sanction of
the Home Government. inasmuch as it was passed in
pursuance of instructions sent out by the India Board

Sir AUGUSTUS CLIFFORD, the Usher of the Black Rod,
appeared at the table, and summoned the House to the
House o: Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given by Com-
mission to several Bills.
On the return of the SPEAKER ho enumerated the
Bills (for which see Lords' report).
POOR-LAW UNIONS—AUDITING ACCOUNTS.
Mr. BANKES presented a petition numerously signed
by the guardians and officers of several unions in Dorset,
stating that the present system of auditing accounts in
poor law unions was productive of great expense, delay,
and inconvenience, and praying the House to devise a
remedy.

PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.
Mr. URQUHART presented a petition against this
Bill, but particularly against those clauses which prevent
public bodies from managing their own affairs.
Sir W. CLAY presented a petition against this Bill,
particularly its centralization principle.
Lord MORPETH presented several petitions in favour
of the Bill.
CEYLON.
Mr. HUME gave notice that on Monday he should
ask the Right Hon. Baronet the President of the Board
of Control whether any orders had been sent to Ceylon,
like those sent to other parts of India, respecting duties
on imports and on shipping.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
On the motion of Mr. PARKER, the House was
ordered to adjourn at its rising until Monday.
INDIAN MAIL.

Parliament was the wish of the universal people of Eng
hind he should not oppose it. The Honourable Baronet
the Member for Oxford University had urged that it
was no greater hardship to exclude Jews on the score
of religion than it was to exclude Christians who did
not possess a pecuniary qualification; and at the same
time had blamed a Right Honourable Gentleman not
now in the House for undue levity in talking of Pro- •
testant cookery and Christian horsemanship. Surely
the levity was as great to compare a question of reli-
gious scruple to one of mere pecuniary qualification.
Another objection urged against the Bill was that it was
for the moral interests and wellbeing of this country to
procure as much as possible unity in religious matters.
Now, if there was one country in Europe 'tat which,
more than another, unity of religion was tained,
and that the Lutheran religion too, it was Sweden.
If such unity were conducive to a high amount of
national morality, surely Sweden should be a pattern to
nations. But what was the testimony of travellers on
the suhject ? The Rev. J. Scott, a Wesleyan missionary,
who had resided twelve years in the country, stated that
in Sweden the most rigid means were adopted to pre-
serve unity of religion, but that, judging a tree by
its
traits, it aid not seem with the most beneficial effects.
There was no difficulty in getting work done on Sun-
day, the theatres were all open, and that even the minis-
ters of ieligion did not hesitate to pass from the pulpit
to the opera-box. With respect to morals, Mr. S
stated that the population returns showed the propor-
tion of illegitimate children to legitimate to be as one to
one and a half. Mr. Laing gave similar testimony, so
that there was not a nation in Europe which mustnotgive
up the palm to Sweden in immorality. So much, then,
for the arguments founded on unity of religion. He
should support this Bill, not confirming his judgment by
appeals to barbarous times, but founding it on the great
charter alike of Jews and Christians, which told us to do
unto others as we would that others should do unto as ,
Mr. G. C. LEWIS observed that two objections ban
been opposed to the admission of the Jews to the Legis-
lature; the one that they were aliens, the other that •
they were not Christians. The first objection had not
been much insisted on, and for a good reason—for there
could be no doubt that British Jews born in this country
were as much natural born subjects of her MajestY,
owing her the same allegiance, subject to the same bur..
dens and obligations, as their Christian fellow-country-
men, and were abstractedly entitled to the same rights
and privileges. Then, as to the religious objection,
though they did not admit the truths of Christianity?
they were not opposed to any of the great moral doe'
trines which that religion recognised and inculcated.
Then there was no reason for supposing that the admis-
sion of Jews would unchristianise the Legislature.
This Bill did not propose to nominate Jews as Idetnhe"
of Parliament, but merely opened the doors of Perlis-
client to them should they be elected. And where,
was the danger in this? Was there a sing
° •
constituency in which the majority were not
Christians? In London even, where the greatest num-
ber of Jews was to be found of any town in the king'
dom, the Jews formed but a small minority of the elect-
toral body. Vattel, quoting Grotius, had laid it down
that amongst independent nations difference of religions
was no barrier to the recognition of equal indepd n
rights. Why should they not apply the same prlneiPle
to individuals ?—(Hear.) Locke said that the State
should be exclusively occupied with the temporal inte;
rests, .and the Church with the spiritual interests, °`
mankind, and that on no account should these
ea
distinct provinces be confounded together. It appeared
to him (Mr. Lewis), en every ground, that the admon
of the Jews as Members of the Legislature, being in ef:
cordance with the progress of opinion and legislation II:.
this country, and with the practice of the mosecivilisest
nations, and being at the same time free from
danger or social detriment, the House would act wisely
by deciding by a large majority in favour of the Bill'
and thus prevent the re-opening of the question in future
years.—(Hear, hear.) • n for

presenting them only, but to form a representat
thattheir the Legislature should impose such restrictimisiesru,
choice as the public interest demanded.( last
hear.) The Honourable Gentleman who ha" ad
spoken had said that the majorities of all the towns s
counties were Christian; if so, what hardship. e°°
there be in requiring them to choose Christian re°`
presentatives ? Admitting, generally, the doctrine".
abstract right, which had been laid down by the ad
cates of the Bill, he held that they were not bound W.
adopt it in every case, if the result should be the sea+.
flee of a principle which it was essential to preset/8 ;
and if public virtue and disinterestedness were necessary
for the efficient service of the State, he held that Chris'
tianity was the only guarantee for those qualities. With
regard to former concessions—the admission of DIP
seaters and Unitarians—those questions stood on totslly'
different grounds, and as to the Roman Catholics it
should be remembered that they had to deal with *
country obtained by conquest, disgraced and deterio-
rated by centuries of misgovernment, a country in which
the Roman Catholic religion was that of the vast ma-
jority of the people, and which, at the time emancipation
was granted, was in that state that Parliament had to
choose between the ruin of the British empire and the
admission of the Roman Catholic claims.
Mr. F. SCOTT opposed the Bill On purely religious
grounds. The Jews, he observed, had not hitherto been
excluded because they were Jews, but because they, were
not Christians. The admission of the Roman Catholics
and Dissenters formed therefore no precedent for this
Bill, they being Christians, and so far eligible to a seet
in a Christian Legislature.
Mr. RAPHAEL said he had voted against the first
and second reading, and meant to oppose in every el:
this dcchristianising Bill—a Bill which would ad
a share in the legislation of Englishmen, 'Oue
of eternal salvation were through Christ the
men who looked upon that Redeemer as a blae'

ALIEN BILL.
On the motion of Sir G. GREY, the House went
into Committee on the Alien Bill.
Upon clause 1 heing proposed,
Mr. HUME proposed to add the words,
upon oath."
Sir GEORGE GREY said that the adoption of such
words would have the effect of embarrassing the Go-
vernment.
Mr. HUME thought it a monstrous thing that the
liberties of the people should be thus trifled with, and
should most certainly persist in his motion.
Lord D. STUART moved the amendment of which
he had given notice, to substitute for" information given
in writing" the words " from declarations laid before them
in writing, :under 5 and 6 William IV., cap. 69." In
moving this amendment, he begged it to be understood,
that he still entertained the greatest objection to the
measure, thinking it most unnecessary.
Sir G. GREY could not adopt the amendment of the
Noble Lord, but had no objection to consent to ' the
amendment of the Hon. Member for Durham (Mr.
Granger).
Lord DUDLEY STUART, after a few words -from
Dr. Bowring, withdrew Me amendment, and
Mr. GRANGER then moved his amendment to the
first clause, to insert the words " by any person sub-
eabing his or her name and address therete."
The amendment was agreed to, and
Mr. HUME proposed to add the words, " upon oath,
or by affirmation."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the addi
tion proposed by Mr. Hume, which was ultimately with.
drawn.
Mr. GRANGER then proposed to insert the follow-
ing proviso at the end of clause one:—" Provided
always, and be it enacted, that if any person
shall knowingly and maliciously give any such
information as aforesaid, of and concerning any such
alien, which shall be false in some material part thereof,
every such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
being convicted thereof shall, at the discretion of the
Court, be liable to be imprisoned for any time not ex-
ceeding three months."
Mr. 'HUME moved the insertion of the following
words, " provided always, that a copy of every such or •
der shall be immediately served on the alien or aliens st,
ordered to depart, and shall be accompanied by a copy
oft be information in:writing, and the name of the in
former."
Sir GEORGE GREY said he did not see any neces
sity of inserting these words.
Mr. Hume said there was every necessity, and in his
opinion the paragraph ought to come before the
amendment of Mr. Granger. This Bill as it stood
was simply an encouragement of the spy system. I t
encouraged people to give information in secret that
they dare not publicly disclose, and he certainly pro-
posed the insertion of these words to viciate that prin-
ciple.
Lord DUDLEY STEWART supported the motion
for the insertion of the words. A man might be commit-
ting an offence without being aware of it if this
motion were not agreed to for if an alien had not
an opportunity of seeing the Gazette, he might remain
in the country and render himself liable to be
thrown into prison. Was this to be tolerated in a free
country ? He hoped not, and if Government
would give the question their dispassionate considera-
tion, he was sure they would at once accede to the
motion of the Honourable Gentleman, the Member for
Montrose.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Noble Lord
had given an exaggerated version cf this portion of the Bill.
He contended that it would be all but impossible for the
Government to serve the order upon the parties, as their
movements would, in all cases of dangerous conspiracy,
be of a private and stealthy nature.
Mr. HUME thought that the Bill as it now stood gave
powers as monstrous as those possessed by the old
French Government under the system of lettres cachet.
Sir G. GREY said that this Bill would not in the least
degree interfere with the rights and privileges given to
all the people, whether foreigners or not, of this country,
by virtue of the Habeas Corpus Act.
Mr. HUME said that, under this Act, a person
might be taken and expelled from the country in five
or six hours; and where then was the use of the Habeas
Corpus Act.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that a remedy
for that evil would be found in the Bill itself as if the
party alleged any reason why he should not be sent out
of the country, ho would not be so sent until his case
had been fully heard and decided.

DETECTION OF A GANG OF HOUSEBREAKERS.—
THE LATE ROBBERY OF COMMUNION PLATE ♦T DON.
BEAD.—The apprehension of one of the offenders im-
mediately after the extensive roberry at Donhead near
Shaftesbury, on Wednesday se'nnight, has just led to the
detection at Portsmouth, by Captain Elliott, of another
well-known burglar, named Robin Smith, who was con-
veyed to Salisbury city station on Tuesday night last
and there recognised by Superintendent Blake as a man
who, under the name of Avery, was advertised as being
concerned in a burglary at Kingswood, near Bristol, in
February last. The detection of these notorious cha-
racters has brought to light several depredations of a
serious nature in various parts of the country, and the
magisterial investigation at Hinton is expected to dis-
close some most interesting particulars. Smith was
formerly one of the London prize ring. Nearly the
whole of the plate stolen from Donhead has been
recovered, but in a broken state, as if for melting.
ST. PANCRAS.—At a meeting of the vestry of this
parish yesterday, letters were read from Lord D. Stuart
and Sir B. Hall in reference to resolutions passed by the
board at a previous meeting relative to Mr. flume's
motion on Ireland. The above two gentlemen in their
letters stated their readiness to support any measure
tending to relieve Ireland.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. •
HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 4.
JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL.
The amendment having been read,
Mr. TRELAWNY. said it had been argued against
the Bill that the Jews were a nation sui generis, but he
wished to know what was to be looked upon as consti-
tuting a nation. Was it a common language? If so,
the Americans and English were one nation. If the
Jews owed allegiance to any temporal Jewish sovereign,
such an argument might be tenable, but any government
they had was purely hierarchical, and could no more
affect their allegiance, than could the supremacy of the
Pope affect that of the Roman Catholics. Besides the
Jews had themselves solemnly declared that there was
nothing in their religion to affect their allegiance to any
country in which they resided. Had not the Jews ever
shown themselves loyal subjects in England? had they
not on the 10th April last exhibited as much alacrity as
their Christian fellow-subjects? And why? Because
they had equal rights and property to protect. In his
opinion it was bad policy to have in any country 40,000
dissatisfied citizens. It would be much better to deport
them altogether, than to keep them in such a state, at
the risk of contaminating the rest. The Honourable
Member proceeded to quote the various hardships which
had been inflicted on the Jews by successive kings of
England, observing that he did not mean to contend
that such things could happen at the present time, but
he feared that the same spirit animated the opposition
to this Bill. There was no tear that the Jews would
seek proselytes. It was well known that Lord George
Gordon had turned Jew, but that after his death the
Jews refused to acknowledge him. As nothing he had
heard in the course of these bebates had convneed him
of the propriety of excluding Jews from Parliament, he
should continue his support to the Bill under con-
sidertion.
Mr. WESTHEAD congratulated the House that they
had been enabled to discuss this question uninfluenced
by vast public meetings, but calmly and deliberately and
without reference to anything but its real merits. He
feared that many of the Wesleyan community would be
surprised at the course he was about to take, but after
careful consideration, he had come to the conclusion that
such course was in accordance with the dictates of Gud's
holy word. A Noble Lord had quoted Dr. Arnold
against this Bill; but in another passage that eminent
divine had said that if the adraitsbn of the Jews to
