STRAND SESSIONS.

DESERTION AND CRIM. CO:.—Ellen Hughes attended be-
fore the bench to support a summons which had been taken
out against her husband, Mr. John Hughes, lately an engi-
neer in the service of the Birmingham and Gloucester Rail-
way Company, by the guardians of the Strand union, for
allowing her to become chargeable to the parish of St. Giles.
It was not denied that the defendant had not fulfilled the
pecuniary arrangements entered into by him for the support
of his wife since their separation. Defendant was also charged
with having formed a criminal connexion with a female ser-
vant, and that this was the original cause of the separation.
The wife had formerly been in the service of Captain O'Don-
nell, and the defence was criminal intercourse on her part
with that officer, to prove which several witnesses were called.
Captain O'Donnell admitted that he had frequently visited
complainant, and had relieved her want?, but denied that
any improper intercourse had taken place between them.
The Bench refused to grant the order.

ARSON.—Henry Warren was indicted for having, on the
20th of June, set fire to a stable in the parish of Rockland.
Mr. EVANS conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was
not defended by. counsel.

was allowed to
in the indictment, and before the tire he bad asked at a pub-
lic-house for two or three lucifer matches, which had been
refused him. • About half an hour afterwards the stable was
discovered to be on lire by two young women, who were
passing along a road, at the side of which the stable stands.
They gave an alarm, and soon after heard a noise as of the
shutting of a gate in the direction of the stable; and saw the
prisoner advancing thence, who first said, " Are vim all
right?" and, on one ecreamiog, told them to hold their
tongues. lie afterwards assisted those who attempted to ex-
tinguish the fire; suspicion, however, was directed to him,
and he was seized. As he was in the act of being led away,
he was seen to take a Lucifer match from his pocket, bite off
the end, and then throw it away-.

The prisoner, in his defence, suggested the improbability
of his setting fire to the only place of refuge he had,- for •no
one would give a chimney-sweep a bed; and commented on
the-omission to produce the fragments of the lucifer match,
which it had been said he had thrown away. •
The jury, alter some deliberation, returned a verdict of
Guilty. Sentence was deferred.
SHOOTING.—TEST OF INTENT BY DISTANCE.—John Meek
' and William Dodman were indicted for having, on the Ist of
July, shot at Charles Godbolt, with intent to maim, &c. It
appeared that on the day in question the prisoners drove in
a waggon past a field- in which the'prosecutor was mowing
some vetches. They were lying on the top of the waggon,.
and 'on the prosecutor looking up-at them they ffrst.auused
him, and then one of them, seizing a gun, fired it at him,
saying, " Take that." The shot tool( effect on various parts

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1846.

A magnificent majority of one hundred and
thirty has negatived the amendment of Lord G.
BENTINCK. From that most decisive result of the
division may be drawn many consolatory and en-
couraging conclusions. That sweeping majority is
tantamount to a direct vote of thanks to her MA.•
JRBTY'S Ministers. That majority is an assurance
that the obnoxious. differential duties are doomed.
That majority is a token—a most brilliant and em-
phatic ,token—that the great crusade in behalf of
free trade will be carried triumphantly to its consum-
mation. For all these very comprehensive reasons
we rejoice sincerely in the enlightened spirit which is
displayed in the National House of Representatives.
It speaks to the people of England words which should
quell their anxieties, alleviate their sufferings, stimu-
late their endeavours, and ensure their contentment.

Captain LAYARD, seeing the Secretary at War in his
place, was desirous of knowing when it was his intention to
bring forward the army estimates?
Air. FOX MAULE said if nothing unforseen occurred, it
was his intention to bring them on next Monday.

reading of the Poor-law Removal Bill he should propose to add
a clause.

Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN seeing the President of the
Board of Trade in his place, wished to ask him whether he
should continue to devote as much attention to agricultural
statistics in office as he did out ?--( Hear, hear.)
Mr. T. M. GIBSON said, in answer to the question of the
Hon. Member behind him, he begged to say that he had reason to
believe from papers he had seen at the Board of Trade that the
subject of agriculture had undergone considerable attention in
that department, and so far as himself was concerned he should
be most happy to continue his attention to this subject.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that it had been his intention

it being aria-ged that the debate on the Sugar Duties

afraid tie should not be able to do se. He regretted this ex-
tremely, as the subject was one of great importance, and he
should be unable to bring it forward before this day fortnight,

Nothing can, therefore, be more conclusive than the evi-
dence of these facts as to the influence of duties upon the
amount of consumption; showing, on the one hand, the rapid
increase which immediately follows a reduction of duty and
a removal of restrictions; and, on the other, the sta-
tionary character of our supplies as long as restrictions
and high duties are maintained. But, with the rapid in-
crease which has taken place in the
population of the coun-
try, what appears in figures as a stationary supply is, in
effect, an actual ditninution. In 1801 the consumption of
sugar in this country was 300bs. to each individual ; in 1821
it was 1941b5. to each individual ; and in 1844 the average
consumption of the whole
population was only IGlbs. and a
small fraction to each individual. While of coffee, in 1801 the i
consumption per head, in Great Britain, was little above
loz. ; in 1821 it was Boz. ; in 1814, it was more than 111 h.
to eAch person. So that while the establidled allowance of

faeta.which must silence all the objections which can be pug,
forward against increasing the supply of this necessary at-
. tiele of • human food. What avails it that our coffeo duties
have been reduced, if the supply of sugar remains stationary ?
What avails it that we increase our trade with the Chinese,
and bring to the consumer double the present quantity
of tea, if no more sugar is to be admitted? How can

Lord BROUG H A II thought that the evidence on this Bill
should be printed and produced to the House.
Viscount TORRINGTON said he had no objection to the
production of the evidence in question.
Lord BROUGHAM give notice that on Thursday he would
move that the evidence laid before the Cornwall Railway Com-
mittee be printed.
BUILDERS OF DUBLIN.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the
builders of Dublin complaing of the privileges of

Lordships to establish perfect freedom to all.
METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.
Lord LANSDOWNE, in answer to a question by Lord
P rtman, said he had seen the First Commissioner of the
Woods and F..rests, who had received the Acts yesterday, and
had referred them imm diatel to the official referee.
NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.
Lord MONTEAGLE said, that this Company had come
to Parliament for an extension of powers. He said, it had
been represented to,him that this Company had far exceeded
its powers, and expended much more than the capital allowed
by law ; that this additional capital had been raised not
by the issue of bond
.fide shares, but by an invention of the
directors, which virtually made it a lean. This was a repre-
sentation which, if found true, would make that company by
no means appear worthy of their Lordships' sanction. He
moved that an account be ordered showing the state of that
company from year to year.
Lord PORTMAN said, as Chairman of the Committee
fore which this company had been sent, he felt bound to say
that he bad heard nothing of it, although a private letter had
been sent him hinting at something of the same kind with what
their Lordships had heard.
Lord KINNAIRD said, that by the Railway Consolidation
Act the Board of Trade should take care that gates and stations
were provided when lines passed public roads on the level.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.

Lord COLCHESTER presented a petition from the Cale-
donian Company, praying that, in consequence of the time
which had been lost in the Commons, the standing order of
the House which fixed the third reading should be set aside,
and that that Bill be permitted to pa.s.

BANQUE T TO M. -GIUIZOT.

LISIEUX, MONDAY.--The banquet took place upon the
terrace of the public garden of this town. Nearly 600 guests
were assembled, and many refused on account of the want of
space. Upwards of 4,000 or MOO persons promenaded in
the public garden, endeavouring to catch, as well as they
could, the voices of the speakers.
Beneath the tent where the banquet took place the spec-
Providence longhappiness

know, as well as I do, gentlemen, that it is to the wisdom and
calm firmness of that Monarch, chosen by the free will of the
French people, that we owe not only the development and
the strengthening of our institutions and our liberties, but
the maintenance of order and peace, the certain pledges of
prosperity for a nation. Let, then, on this occasion, which
unites us ;our first sentiment be for the King, and so let us
offer to him the expression of our profound gratitude— Vice
le Roi !" (This toast was received with loud acclamation.)
M. de Tormeville, Make of Lisieux, then proposed the fol.
lowing toast to M. Guizot:—" I propose a toast to M. Guizot,
who has represented us for sixteen years, faithfully sustain-
ing the interests of France and of his constituents. lie has
powerfully contributed to found and develop our national in.
stitutions. He has made prevail that policy of conservatism
of legal liberty and of peace which respects all rights and
gives prosperity to all works. Honour and gratitude to M.
Guizot for the courage and talents he has displayed in serv-
ing his constituency awl country."
After the applause had subsided,
Guizot rose, and spoke as follows :—Messieurs,—Often
and often have you received me with such marks of esteem
and affection as have greatly honoured and deeply moved
me; hut never have you in so penetrating and solemn a way
as on the present occasion, hi the eyes of this fine country,
in presence of this intelligent and generous population.
Often, also. has the policy which I support received your
adhesion. Never, under any circumstances, so great and
so decisive has this policy presented itself as at this Mo-
ment, placed as it is between two Opposite trials the most
imposing that can be offered. The test of time it has
already borne—it is now about to endure that of the jwig
ment of the country.—(Bravos.) During nearly six years it
has been proclaimed and practised without interruption. The
country, which has witnessed it acting for six years, is
about to pronounce its opinion, It will judge it not upon
promises but by works.--(Bravos.) Messieurs, Conservative
policy and its friends wait with respect and deference this
Adgmeat of the country, this final word of our institutions.

REPORTS.

The reports on the following Bills were brought up and
agreed to :

L'Ord Kinnaird's (Sir John Webb's) Estate Bill.
Spalding's Estate Bill.
Yeovil Borough Estate Bill.

EJECTED TENANTRY (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD postponed the second
reading of this Bill till Wednesday week.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL
_ _

On the order of the day for going into Committee on this
Bill being read,
Mr. HUME proceeded to move the amendments on this
Bill, of which he had given notice.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the Hon. Member
would not proceed, as the Right Hon. Secretary for the
Home Department was unavoidably absent from the House.
Mr. HUME had no objection, then, to postpone his
amendment till the Right Hon. Gentleman was in his place.
Sir R. INGLIS thought that he would not have a more
favourable opportunity for making the few observations
which lie wished to make on this measure. The Hon.
Member then expatiated at considerable length on the pro-
visions of the Bill, which he considered altogether unneces-
sary and unjust, and concluded by moving that the House
resolve itself into Committee this day three months.
Sir GEORGE GREY, having entered the House during
the discussion, said that the Lord Chancellor had assured him
that the whole question was under his consideration, and
that he would bring in a Bill on the subject in the early part
of next session.

Mr. B. ESCOTT wished the Right Hon. Gentleman to
assure the House that, in the measure to be brought forward
by Government, care would be taken to inquire in the whole
question of the admistration of public charities.
Sir GEORGE GREY said that he fully concurred in the
principle of the Bill, namely, that of accountability; and
he was sure the measure proposed to be introduced would
be, based on that principle.
After a few words from Lord Harry Vane, Mr. R. Yorke,
Mr. Henley, and Sir G. Grey,
Mr. HUME denied the allegation of the Right Hon. Baronet
(Sir R. Inglis), that the Bill interfered with voluntary sub-
scriptions. It merely related to endowed charities, and as
the subject was to be taken up early next session by her
Majesty's Government, he had no objection to withdraw the
Bill at present.
Sir R. PEEL stated that he was of opinion that persons
entrusted with the administration of the charities should
render an account of their stewardship to the House.—
(Hear, hear.) He also was anxious that the return should
be ample, and at the same time comprehensive.
He fully approved of the principle of the measure, but as the
Government had intimated their intention of introducing a
more extensive measure in the ensuing session, he thought
the Hon. Member had exercised a wise discretion in with•
drawing it.
Sir R. H. INGLIS explained that he never advocated the
principle of non-accountability.
After a few words from Mr. BERNAL, the Bill was with-
drawn.
