in one of the most monstrous outrages that had ever come
under his notice, by procuring the abduction of the only per-
sons whose evidence to the fact could be of any value; and
he therefore felt it his duty to order the young women to be
kept in safe custody until the police authorities of the county
in which the offence, or rather offences, had been perpe-
trated, could be made acquainted with what had taken place,
and could adopt the proper steps to insure the attendance of
the young women at the York assizes, when the trial of the
ruffians came on.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 17.
NAVAL CIVIL DEPARTMENT BILL

City police-constable 159 met the prisoner on his way home from
the public-house, and heard him muttering to himself like a drunke❑
person, " D— your eyes, I'll do for you ;" but he thought It was
nothing more than ordinary excitement in liquor.
Thomas Loyd, surgeon, in Basinghall-street—Saw the body of the
deceased. There were two wounds on the left side of the belly, the
one of which he had no doubt was the cause of the death.
Mr. Clarkson, with whom was Mr. Dallautyne, defended the
prisoner._ _

Sir C.NAPIER (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition
of yesterday) said—The steamers to America and the West In-
dies went regularly all the year round, as did also the Liverpool
and Glasgow packets ; yet when the Admiralty ships went
out in stormy weather they got wrecked.—(Hear, hear.)
The fault he considered was in the construction of the Ad-
miralty, and the leaving of the matter all to the manage-
ment of one man.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Gallant
Member then analysed at some length the method of conduct-
ing business by the Admiralty, which he considered to be most
improper and inefficient. The business ought to be properly
class:tied, and each department superintended by a proper
officer, instead of the whole being under the control of the
men who could not attend to it. Especially there ought to
be a Comptroller of the Dockyard, and of the Victualling
Department, instead of Captain Rous only running down
to Portsmouth once a
y♦ear and taking a mere glance
at what was going on. The man who should be placed
at the head of these departments should be responsible for
the efficiency of everything under his charge. 'Were this
the case, instead of having as bad a steam frigate as they
could well have, they would have as good a one as could be
desired. The Bill he proposed would meet all these evils, and
provide for one efficient management of the departments to
which he had referred. He thanked the House for having
listened to his statement, and he would sit down by moving
the second reading of the Bill.
Lord INGESTRE considered the government of the navy
of the country to be a subject of the most paramount import-
ance. In seconding the motion for the second reading of
the BEI, he wished it to be clearly understood, that it was
from no party feeling or sordid motive towards those gentle-
men who were placed at the head of affairs in the Admiralty.
In 1832 a Bill was introduced which had for its object the
abolition of the Navy Board, and in abolishing the Board the
House went rather too far, as it threw an unfair distribution
of labour upon the First Lord of the Admiralty, whose office
was better placed in the bands of a civil than a naval
officer. The Admiralty Board had no time to
devote to scientific operations, as they were so
much occupied in correspondence and other matters
connected with the business of the office. He com-
plained that the returns he had moved for and obtained were
very garbled and incorrect, and had no signature attached to
them, so that their correctness was not vouched for. He
hoped that the Gallant Officer, the Member for Ripen, would
give some explanation of the report. There were no dia-
grams given in the returns, and he should like to have the
opinion of the Admiralty upon them. It was important that
they should be assured of going in the right direction. It
was a question whether the construction of steamers of large
dimensions was advantageous or not to the service. He
thought that steamers built on a smaller scale would be
found more efficacious and useful. These, however,

Chief Justice TINDAL then summed up the evidence.
The jury, after consulting a short time, returned a verdict a
Manslaughter against the prisoner.

The prisoners were afterwards removed in the van to the
Westminister Bridewell.
SOUTHIVARK.
_ _ _

The COURT then sentenced the prisoner to transportation beyond
the seas for the term of his natural life.

John Rorhe, a powerful-looking man, was charged with
assaulting, with intent to rob, a Mr. Tilley, and also with
making a very determined resistance on being taken into
custody.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

A lad, apparently about 16 or 17 years of age, who
stated his name to be Richard Barton, presented a letter
to Alderman Gibbs, requesting that the magistrates
would be so good as to send him, without charge, to
Mahon, in Yorkshire, as he was without money.
There was something peculiar in the mode of applica-
tion, as well as in. the appearance and address of' the lad,
and Alderman Gibbs asked him a few questions, the
answers to which corresponded with the impression made
by the applicant upon his introduction.
Barton said that he had been brought up in the stables
of Mr. John Scott, who was so well known on the turf,
and to whom he was bound apprentice, but he had been
deprived of both parents in a most melancholy manner,
and he most particularly felt the loss at the present mo-
ment. His father some years ago kept the head inn at
Melton, was a subscriber to the Jockey Club, and was
going on most prosperously, until in a drunken excess hs
killed his wife, for which crime he was transported for
life. For a comiderable time the applicant resided with
his grandfather. He subsequently became stable boy to
Mr. John Scott, but having unfortunately consented to
ride a private match on the 18th of July last, at Liver-
pool, the horse fell with him, and broke his thigh. He
lay for a considerable time in the hospital, and as soon
as he was able to move about, he manned to go to
Goodwood, where he saw Lord George Bentinck, who
kindly paid his expenses to London, in the expectation
that he should meet Mr. John Scott in the metropolis,
but upon inquiry at the White Horse, in Piccadilly, he
heard that Mr. Scott had returns(' home to Yorkshire.
Alderman GIBBS—The place at which a boy, under
your circumstances, should apply is, one would think,
at Tattersall's.
Barton said he was not known at Tattersall's. He
had never been a jockey, although he had ridden horses
unon trial. On the occasion on which he had brokes
his thigh, the gentleman for whom he rode the horse.
called Champagne, had promised to give him 51., but all
he ever received was 355., the owner having thought
proper to deny that any such bargain had been made,
Upon getting better of the injury, he applied to Lord
eorge Bentinck, to whom I.e had the honour to b.
known, and who most humanely undertook to bring for-
ward his ease in October next ; and, as he had said be-
fore, paid his expenses to London. All he wanted at
present was a little money to defray his expenses to
Nlalton, where lie had friends who would receive him,
and supply him with the means of repaying the amoutv
most readily.
Alderman Ginns—How long have you been in
London ? Barton—l came on Monday into town, and
have spent all I had got from the generosity of Lord
George Bentinck, and I did not like to intrude upon his
Lordship's kindness again, especially as he undertook to
get justice done to me in October. I thought, there-
fore, of applying to Lord Mayor Johnson, for we hear a
great deal in the country of his kindness to those who
suddenly fall into misfortune.
Alderman GIBBS directed that the lad should be kept
in the infirmary in the Compter, under the care of the
surgeon, until an opportunity of sending him home
should occur.
The account given by Barton was by no means made
for the sake of effect, bur. necessarily arose from the
course of examination pursued by the Alderman, with
the view of ascertaining whether the applicant was an
object worthy of attention.
The poor fellow spoke of Lord George Bentinck as
likely to obtain for him 5001., to which he believed he
was entitled, by an arrangement made by his unfortu.
nate father, previously to conviction on the dreadful
crime of the premature and violent death of his mother.
The Lord Mayor, almost immediately after this ap-
plication to Aldsrman Gibbs, received a bank-note for
51., in a note subscribed " T. W.," requesting that his
Lordship would appropriate the donation to the objects
he might in bis judgment consider most deserving of
assistance.
A chimney-sweeper was summoned for having emptied
a quantity of soot, which had been deposited in his
cellar, into some hogsheads which were ranged in a
court before his door, very much to the annoyance and
di,glist of the immediate neighbourhood.
The beadle of the ward, it appeared, had, as he passed
along the street, observed the court in a " desperate
mess," and, upon approaching the spot where the hogs-
heads were ranged, saw, as well as he could see through
a very thick mist, a man shooting snot from a sack into
one of them. It appeared to the officer, that when he
approached the person so employed, the soot seemed to
descend with aggravated force, so that, if he had not at
once retired, he would have closely resembled one of the
fraternity. He could not, at the same tim positively
; say that the soot shooting had been increased in order
to annoy him, or anybody else.
Alderman GIBBS—Was the defendant the person who
raised the disagreeable dust ? Witness—l cannot say
that he was.
Tt e defendant said that hr always employed a man of

The complainant stated that on the preceding afternoon
he had just quitted a shop in High street with a Mr. Grant,
who had just got outside the door, and was reckoning some
money, when the prisoner came up and made a sudden snatch
at it. The complainant, however, closed his hand at
the moment, and thus prevented the attempt being carried
into effect, when the prisoner, disappointed, rushed at
him, and struck hint a tremendous blow under the ear.
which knocked him down. The complainant's friend, Mr.
Grant, here interfered, and was also assaulted and knocked
down; and when he called out for assistance, the prisoner,
with an oath, swore that he would rip up the first poUcem•an
that attempted to take him. Several policemen came
to the spot, and after a most determined resistance the
prisoner was at length secured and taken to the station-
house. In the course of the examination, it was stated that
the prisoner had been recen'ly liberated from gaol, atter
undergoing two years' imnrisonment for a similar offence,
and that in fact he had suffered incarceration on many other
occasions.

The prisoner was committed.
R S THINS TE R.

Yesterday George Jonel, alias Wilcox, a young man who
has been before in custody for felony, was charged with the
following impudent r.bbery :
At about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, Benjamin Burn.
police-constable 150 B, saw the prisoner step from the cell of
the parlour-window of Mrs. Dowling. No. 2, Staff 'l-d
-row,
Pimlico, on to the area railings in front of the house, and
thence jump to the ground, and run off at full speed. The
policeman pursued him, and after a sharp run of nearly a
mile captured the fellow, and, having no doubt that he had
purloined something from the house he had seen him leave,
immediately searched him, and found in his pocket a silver
cream ewer, a very handsome silver mustard pot, and five
silver spoons, which were identified by Mrs. Dowling's son
as her property. They were articles of plate in common use
at Mrs. Dowling's. and had been placed on the breakfast
table by the servant a few minutes only before they were
stolen. The parlour window lvtd been left open, and the
prisoner must have entered in the same way as he was seen
to leave.—He was committed for trial.

were considerations which should be referred to the
Naval Board, for them to decide on. He had al-
luded to the expenses, the trickery, the jobbing,
that was going on in the naval department, and the falsified
returns, by which the House and the public were prevented
from arriving at any correct knowledge of facts. It was time
that a stop should be put to the reckless manner in which
money had been expended in building ships.—( Hear,
hear.) Although he did not agree with all the details
of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman's Bill, yet he should be
happy to vote for its going into Committee, as it would, in
his opinion, tend to prevent many of the abuses of which
he had complained.
Mr. CORRY thought that the opinions of the Hon.
and Gallant Officer, the Member for Marylebone, on
the construction of the Admiralty Board were quite
inconsistent with his previously exp..essed opinions.
A more objectionable measure than that proposed by the
Gallant Commodore could not have been conceived. The
Navy Board at the timeofits dissolution consisted of six

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.
(From the Liverpool Courier )
On Monday, an inquest was held be•i~re the borottgl
coroner, on view of the body of George Reed, a tinplat.
worker, residing at No. 3. ll.norben•street, Windsor-
street. who committed suicide under the following dis-
tressing circumstances :
It appeared that the deceased, who was in the 21s
year of his age, was only married about five weeks, to a
female about 18. At nine o'clock on the morning ot
Monday week, the Bth instant, he complained of his
head being very bad. His sister-in-law, Esther
Stephens, who lodged in the same house, advised him t,.
bathe it in cold water, which he did, and while doing se
he ground 11:.s teeth a good deal. After the bathing he
said he felt a little refreshed ; he ate his breakfast, and.
after having sent out for a sheet of paper, he wrote the
following note to a publican in Mersey-street
Sir,--Please to forward by my wife the sovereign I
left with you on Saturday evening.:7Yours„&e.

officers, who acted individually, each as a check on the other.
He objected to special power being lodged in the hands of one
individual, who was to be in a measure irresponsible
for any of his acts, and who should not be liable to be
removed on a change of Administration. He thought the
whole of the measure extremely offensive. It would entail
great delay in the execution of the public duties, and would
not be counter-balanced in any way by any corresponding
advantage. The Hon. Gentleman reviewed the opinion
which had been expressed by the Gallant Commodore

" CALAIS'S TINMAN.

Mr. Calais, it seems, was his employer, and hence the
signature—" Calais's tin-man." He had not left any
sovereign with a publican in Mersey-street, but having
several times ineffectually attempted to send his wif«•
out of the house the same morning, he adopted this ruse
to accomplish his purpose.
Mrs. Reed having taken the note, he sat down and
wrote, and addressed the following letter to her during
her absence:—

on the sailing qualities of the experimental squadron:
The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that the
Bill be read a second time that day six months.
The SPEAKER having put the question,
Lord INGESTRE explained.
Captain PECHELL said that the Right Honourable
Gentleman, in making his motion, must have for-
gotten that it had been sanctioned by the very
high authority of Captain Eons, whilst filling the office
of a Lord of the Admiralty. It had also the suprort of the
Noble Lord the Member for Staffordshire. He considered it
the duty of the House to pass such a Bill with a view to the
correction of the evils which had been to fully
exposed and proved to exist in the naval department
by the Honourable and Gallant Member (Sir C. Napier).
The instant a member of the Admiralty presumed to hold an
independent opinion he must prepare to leave that depart-
ment. That was one amongst other reasons why the House
should pass this Bill. It was most desirable that the First
Lord of the Admiralty should have it in his power, without
.ri;k of loss of office, to act in accordance with what he con-
ceived to be the interest of the navy. He thought that the
Surveyor of the Navy was deserving of the highest respect;
and the Admiralty, in endeavouring to get rid of him
were, in his opinion, acting a very unwise and unjust part.
—(hear.) The Gallant Admiral (Sir E. Cockburn) would
hereafter bre called upon by him to produce a certain docu-
ment, by which it had been agreed by the members of the
Admiralty to make the Surveyor of the7Navy a perfect cipher.
He was very glad that the Bill proposed to maintain
the services of the Secretary of the Admiralty. He
hoped that a Board might be appointed to in-
quire whether the Admirals were fit to command ;
he believed that there could not be found at the present mo-
ment in England an admiral able to command the squadron
of evolution. There was such a spirit of insubordination in the
Admiralty that he certainly was of opinion that this Bill
would effect a change which would be highly bene-
ficial. His constituents were always calling upon him
to vote for reduction of the expenses in the naval
department. This Bill had certainly been brought forward
without much consideration; but he was at all times ready
to vote for a motion that would have the effect of improving
the present management of the navy, and he should, there-
fore, vote for the second reading of this Bill.
Sir G. COCKBURN defended the members of the Admi-
ralty against the charges of mismanagement which had been
brought against them.
Captain PLUMRIDGE said he knew two gentlemen that
were most unfairly treated by the Board of Admiralty; mei!
who held inferior offices. and of inferior quality, were ap-
pointed to situations before them.

The chimney-sweeper here stated that the only man
he employed was in Court.

the spectators.

Mr. C. WOOD supported the Bill, the object of which ht
said was to re:tore the intermediate authorities in the Ad-
miralty which had been recently removed.—(Hear, hear.)
Captain BERKELEY, on the part of Captain ROW, denied
that he had sanctioned the introduction ofsuch a Bill as tha.
before the House.

fir. Wm. M•Cheane, the house surgeon at the In-
firmary, stated that the deceased had been brought there
nn Monday night week, with a lacerated wound of the
right ear, and a fracture of the right temporal bone.
The ear had been nearly blown off. On examining
the wound, a small pebble stone was fiend in it, which
left no doubt that he had loaded the pistol with the
pebble, and fired it through his head. A number of
other small pebbles, together with the letters to his wife
and brother-in•law, were found in his pocket after the
act. Upon a post mortem examination, the brain wit-
very much lacerated; and that laceration, along with the
other injuries, were the immediate cause of death.
The jury returned a verdict to the effect that he com-
mitted the act while labouring under temporary in-
sanity.

Sir C. NAPIER replied. He commenced by reiterating
the statement that the Bill had the approval of Captain
Rous, and then proceeded to reply to the speeches of tto
two Right Hon. Gentlemen the members of the Admi-
ralty (Mr. Corry and Sir George Cockburn). If the
Admiralty consumed less paper in writing nonsensical
letters to the admirals of the different ports enc.
squadrons, he was convinced that they would mon
efficiently discharge their duties.—(Hear, hear, and
laughter.) Their conduct was very like that of children.
I f they pursued their present course of tactics they would
most assuredly destroy the navy.—( Hear) He had not
much fault to find with the Surveyor of the Admiralty, but he
really did think that, in every point that gentleman had
not properly discharged his duties. He again repeated his
convictions of the absolute necessity of reconstructing the
Board of Admiralty.
The House then divided, when there appeared—

RATING OF TENEMENTS BILL.

Tlie widow of th'e deceased, a fine young woman, ap-
peared in court, and sobbed very bitterly. She applied
to the court for the letter addressed to her by her
husband, but was informed that it must accompany the
depositions. It was read carefully over to her again.
and at its concluding words she seemed utterly incon-
s3lable. The coroner kindly promised that he should
have a copy of it written out for her. Her forlorn con-
dition excited the deepest sympathy upon the part of
every gentleman present.

On the motion for the second reading of this Bill,
Mr. R. PALMER objected to the Bill as it at present
stood. He would not, however, oppose its second reading, as
it might be amended in Committee.

The defendant then paid the expenses, and declared
that he should take ea-e to have the soot removed into
he hogsheads under the roof of his own house in future.
IVORSIIP•STREE7;

Mr. P. SCROPE thought they ought to pause ere they
assented to the second reading of this Bill. It would ope-
rate, he felt persuaded, against the building of tenements for
the poorer classes, as the Bill provided for the rates being
paid by the owners of such property, and not by the tenants
who occupied them. He thought the law as it at present
stood was objectionable, but he did not think the Bill before
the House would meet the case. By the Bill, if the Owners
paid the rate, then it would be charged on the occupier in
the shape of increased rate, while the real ratepayers would
have no control whatever in the application and direction of
the rates so raised. He would conclude by moving an
amendment, that the Bill be read that day six months.
Mr. HAWES moved that the debate be now adjourned.
Mr. SPOONER seconded the motion.
