FATAL ACCIDENT AT WATERLOO-BRlDGE.—Yester-
day an inquest was held before Mr. "Higgs, Coroner for the Duchy
of Lancaster, at the Savoy Palace, Savoy-street, Strand, on the body
of Charles Lanton, aged 12 years. On Friday evening last, the do-
ceased and some other boys were bathing in the river, at the bottom
of the steps, on the western side of Waterloo-bridge ; the deceased
was very headstrong, and fancied he could swim, but he had not
proceeded many yards when he was knocked backwards by the swell
of a passing steamer, and he sank immediately. Fleming, a witifor-
man at the adjoining stairs, hearing the alarm, ran to the spot, and
by means of a hitcher, recovered the body in a few minutes. It
was removed to No. 1, Lancaster-place, where every means-wag
adopted by a surgeon to restore life, but ineftectuany, lift being g
extinct. Verdict—Accidental Death. of

" JOSEPH AIABERLY."
To this letter Mr. Barnes replied :
" Sir,—l have taken the earliest opportunity of laying be-
fore the Bishop your letter of the 12tc. The Bishop directs
sac to say that the Duke of Somerset having stated his wish
and purpose to endow the chapel, and to convey the same for
consecration, the Bishop will license the chapel till that
purpose can be carried fully into effect. The Bishop has further
directed me that, having himself seen the chapel, he dis-
penses with the issuing of any previous commission of inquiry.
It is only necessary, therefore, that the Duke should sign a
petition to grant the license, and I will draw a form and send
it to you, For this purpose you will be good enough to direct
a plan of the chapel to be furnished, showing the ground plan
and scaling, &c., and be good enough to give me the most
concise statement possible as to the title—that the Duke is
tenant in fee of what other estate.--1 am, &c.,

" RALPH BARNES."
On receiving this letter, Mr. Maberly wrote, on the 224 01
Septeinber, as follows .
._.

Sir,---I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favour,
which, with your request of a plan, &c:, I will immed'ately
communicate to his Grace, and I doubt not that I shall be
commissioned to return his Grace's thanks to the Bishop
and yourself for your obliging attention. Iwrite,however, in
consequence of some expressions in your letter, and to pre-
vent all possibility of any future misunderstanding, unlikely
as it may be, to arise. 1 think that the communication of
the Bishop's consent to license is accompanied by words from
you, that, if unqualified and unexplained, would amount to
an implied engagement on the part of the Duke, at all events,
and under any circumstances, and with whatever incon-
veniences attended, still peremptorily, to endow and convey
the chapel for consecration. As the Duke is a man who
would be scrupulous to the letter in the performance of
every iota of what he could be considered, either directly or
by implication, to have engaged for, it becomes the more
necessary for me to take care that his Grace does not lay
himself under any obligation calculated, by any possibility,
to bring him into a dilemma. It is his Grace's most
serious and determined intention and wish to do his best,
through the medium of the Church Commissioners or other-
wise, to procure the consecration of his chapel, and to make
for it a permanent regular endowment of pro-er amount.
"11th the expression of this intention the Bishop will, I
doubt not, knowing his Grace's attachment to the Establish-
ment, feel I:atisfied and rest contented. But it is passible
that there may be impediments, unlooked-for requisi-
tions, objections made, interference with patronage, or
the like, that may make it unadvisable, in the view of
his Grace, or of any reasonable man, to proceed to the
conveyance for consecration, and may rather induce his Grace
to wish to wait till some further legislative regulations afford
better facilities, or remove difficulties that may in the present
state of the law exist. I mug, therefore, claim for his Grace
a discretion in these matters beyond what your words convey.
That the Bishop is content that the Duke should have this I do
not doubt, nor do I think that you meant to imply to the eon•
trary; but if you read again your words, I think you will find that
the qualification is necessary which I have here taken the liberty
to make. I will send you the plan, &e., as soon as I receive
it, and shall be obliged by the form of the petition you propose
to send me.-1 am, &c. "JOSEPH MABERLY."
Mr. Barnes replied to Mr. Nlaberly

Exeter, Sert. 25, 1832.
" Sir,—l have consulted the Bishop upon your letter of the
22d. The Bishop's authority, as stated in my letter of the 10th,
was founded correctly, his Lordship thinks, on the previous
communication ; but the Bishop, on perusing your letter,
authorises me to say that he is content to license the building
on the declaration therein contained. I shall be glad to give
every dispatch, to the business on your furnishing me with the
matter mentioned in my former letter.—l am, ke.
4` ALPH BARNES." 'The Noble Earl Concluded by conteßnding that the Duke of
Somerset never had entered into any contract to endow the
chami in question.
The Bishop of BATH and WELLS said, that he had never
beard of the difference which had arisen between the Duke of
Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter until he received a letter
from the Bishop of Exeter on the subject. As he wished to
occupy the attention of their Lordships for the shortest pos-
sible time, he should confine what he had to say to the fewest
possible words, and therefore he should proceed at once to lay
before them the letter which he had received from his Right
Rev. 'Friend

ec Bishopstowe, Aug. 1, 1846.
My dear Lord,—Lord Radnor haviag informed me. that
it is his intention to
mb:ini:

statement made by
Lords ofhnisathLepe2t,,i3tdi9onf
June last, on occasion of the presentation

considers from the Rev. James Shore, which stattnennto
considers as having cast an imputation of bad faith
Duke of Somerset, I request you to ask for me the indul-
gence of the House (as was recently accorded to the Arch-
bishop of Dublin) in permitting me, in this letter to your
Lordship,
to state the reasons which prevent me from
attending in my place when the discussion shall come forward,
Those reasons are stated in a letter which I wrote on the 28th
ult. to Lord Radnor, a copy of which I request you to read to
the Hou-e, as well as a copy of the letter to Lord Seymour,
referred to in mine to Lord Radnor, and of Lord Seymour's
answer to me, all of which I now enclose. I further
request you to state to the House, after reading that answer,
that the newspaper transmitted by me was the Western Times,
r 1 Saturday, the 25th ult., that. it was put into the envelope
in my preence by my solicitor, in his own office ;
that it was sealed by him, and put into the post-office
at Exeter by him ; that my solicitor took the pre-
caution of marking the copy of the Western Times, so
placed by him in the envelope, with my letter ad-
dressed to Lord Seymour ; and that he and his clerk
declare, ant will be ready to testify, that neither of
them ever had in his possession a Gloucester Journal,
nor, to the beat of their recclleetion, ever saw one—
that :t was, therefore, absolutely impossible that such a paper
should have been inserted in the envelope before it was
put into the post-office at Exeter. I will add, that I
myself have not for many years had in my possession, nor even
Iwo, 61oucester paper; that I could not, therefore, have
transmitted such a paper to Lord Seymour.
" I am, my dear Lord, yours most faithfully,
" H. EXETER.

LAND) BILL.
The Earl of EGLINTON, after presenting a petition from
Scotland against the Bill, said he must earnestly request the
Government to pospone the Bill till next session. In the early
part of the present session a deputation fram Scotland waited
upon Sir R. Peel upon the subject of this Bill, and that Right
Hon. Baronet promised to re-consider the measure before
he pressed it forward. They had been in hopes, therefore, that
when the present Government came into office, the Bill would
I ave been postponed for the present, but it was not to be so;
and the Bill had just come up to their Lordships' House
from the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He, however,
asked as a favour for Scotland, whose interests were bound
up in this Bill, that it might be put off till next session.
There were 18 joint-stock banks in Scotland, 5 have charters,
and 13 have not. The 13 •banks which had not charters
were equally safe with those which had. But the five
which possessed charters, had certainly an advantage
over the others, and the present Bill was for the purpose of
ene ling the unehartered to become so. But if the) took advan-
tage of this Bill they would lose the power of lending money to
their shareholders upon the security of their shares, a most impor-
tant advantage which the old chartered banks would still retain;
besides their charter was only granted for a period of twenty
years, and required that the accounts should be made up in a
most invidious manner. A Bill for a similar purpose had
been passed in the year 1844 for English banks, but there
was only one bank that availed itself of the advantages which
it conferred; and he had authority for stating that not one
bank in Scotland would avail themselves of the powers granted
by the Bill, in which he recognised the; principle of
centralisation, which was such a favourite of Sir Robert
Peel, and which he considered a most vicious principle.
He could not conceive that those who adopted free trade prin-
ciples could countenance such a monopoly as the banks of
Scotland. Under these circumstances he must earnestly beg
her Majesty's Government would not allow the further con-
tinuance of this banking monopoly, or at all events postpone
this Bill till another session.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he thought it
would be improper at that late period of the session
to urge on Government any measure which was not known
to the public. But the present measure was not in
that position. It was understood by the other House
of Parliament, and the present Government had received a
deputation from the chartered bankers of Scotland. Some
of the Glasgow bankers had certainly opposed the measure.
The bankers of Scotland, however, subsequently gave their
acquiescence in the Bill
'the Earl of KINNAIRD regre'ted to hear that the Bill
was to be pressed forward this session. It was not only a
banker's question but a landlord's question. It was modi-
fied on one occasion before, and he understood that
it would not be pressed forward without due notice being
given. He knew, from what he had seen and heard, that the
feeling expressed at county meetings was very much against
it. The chartered banks were in favour of the Bill, and they
were so because they knew that it would deprive many or all
of the unchartered banks from the advantages which they them-
selves possessed.
Earl GREY said that it would be better to postpone the
discussion until they came to the second reading. If the
Bill was to pass, it was important that it should do so with
as little delay as possible.—( Hear.) He should, therefore,
suggest that it should be made an order of the day, to
be read a second time on Thursday, and the merits
of the Bill then discussed. He should then he able to show
his Noble Friend that there were reasons for passing the Bill
of which he (the Earl of Kinnaird) was not aware.
The Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read
a second time on Thursday.
IRISH MARRIAGE ACT.

On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the Amended Irish
Marriage Act was read a second time.

ARGYLL CANAL BILL.

Upon the third reading of this Bill being moved
The Earl of WICKLOW proposed as an amendment, that
it be recommitted on the ground of the Committee tilt having
entertained the petition of certain shareholders against the Bill.
After a few words from Lams Redesdale, Beaumont,
Shaftshury, Campbell, and Monteagle, the Bill was read a
third time and passed.

PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES BILL.
After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and
the Earl of RADNOR, the several clauses of the Public Baths
and Washhouses Bill went through Committee. The report
was brought up and ordered to be received to-morrow.
SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY (AMENDMENT AND

BRANCHES).
The report upon this Bill was brought up and received.
POOR REMOVAL BILL.

Lcrd GREY gave notice that on Thursday next, he would
move the second reading of the Poor Removal Bill.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned until Thursday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 4.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock.

SECOND READINGS.

Booth's Charities (Clowes') Estate Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed, as was also the Duke of
Cleveland's Estate Bill.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.
The Lords' Amendments to the Llynvi Valley and South
Wales Junction Railway Bill, and the Sheffield. Rotherham,
Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, and Goole Railway Bills
were agreed to.

Dr. BOWRING said that he felt some regret in being com-
pelled, by a sense of duty, again to call the attention of the
House to that legislation which regarded the introduction of
tobacco into this kingdom. He took occasion some time ago
to show to the House, by what he considered im?ortant facts
and figures, and by irresistible statistical evidence, the evil
results of the duties on tobacco. Upon a previous occasion he
had shown the immense increase which had taken place in the
United Kingdom in the number of seizures in consequence
of the degrading effects of the pernicious duties on tobacco;
and also to the innumerable evils and cruelties which
had arisen from the same unhappy source. He would
venture to call upon the Right Honourable Baronet the
Home Secretary to look around him, and see the state of the
law on this subject. Let him inquire into the cause why such
enormous multitudes of people were brought before the magis-
trates, crowded into prisons, with heavy costs of prosecution
and heavy charges upon the public, in order to carry out
their punishment. He had never contended, and he
was not now contending, that tobacco was not a
fit subject for taxation. He was very willing to
admit that any amount that could be safely raised upon that
article might be most properly raised, but the Government
were better able to attend to that business than the con-
sumer. Government should not so act as to be obliged
to recognise the necessity of smuggling. The evidence
as to the extent of smuggling was perfectly irre-
sistible. It was openly admitted that the most re-
spectable brokers and merchants in the tobacco trade
were engaged in smuggling. The number of seizures bore no
comparison to the amount of escapes. Thousands and tens of
thousands of small shops were supported by smugglig.
In the year ending January, 1844, the number of convictions
were 35, in the following year they were 47, and in the
last year 69, showing an increase of 100 per cent.
Then with regard to prosecutions for adulteration. In the
first year he spoke of they were 18, in the following year 43,
and the present year 53. Now where was this process of de-
moralisation to end ? Must _heir eyes never be opened—
must their ears never be awakened to statements like these?
These laws inflicted a great hardship on innocent individuals.
He knew that most respectable persons, most unimpeachable
in character, living in Norwich, purchased a cask of
tobacco, stipulating a price for a particular quality, as
the Excise knew and acknowledged. The cask was
received, the seal was broken, and the cask opened,
when the t,bacco was discovered to be of a mixed
quality. The case was carried into court, and the magistrate
decided that legal possession could not fix the purchasers with
damages; but this decision was overturned afterwards, and the
purchasers were fined in the limited sum of 50/. Such pro-
ceedings were a great hardship. The Excise laws made no
discrimination between the innocent and the guilty, therefore
he called on the House to put an end to the system.
The Right Honourable Baronet lately at the head of the Go-
vernment had said that the duty of the Government should be
to cut up the trade of the smuggler root and branch, and to
substitute for an illegal traffic a fair and honourable commerce.
The cost of introducing tobacco fraudulently was from Is. 2d.
to 2s. 2d. per lb., and therefore it was clear that with a duty of
Is. the Government could safely compete with the smuggler.
The reduction of duty, however. must be considerable to be of
any use ; in 1825 it was reduced 25 per cent., from 4s. to 35.,
but the increase of demand was but a little more than 10 per
cent. The Hon. Member added that in the present state of
the House he would not further detain it, but move—" That
the state of the tobacco duties requires tl.e revision of Par-
liament, with a view to their early reduction."
The motion having been seconded,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, in
the present state of the revenue, he was not prepared, on
behalf of the Government, to agree to the motion. He could,
however, assure the Hon. and Learned Member and the House
that the subject should receive the earnest consideration of the
Government.

THIRD READING.
The Monmouthshire Railway Bill was read a third time and
passed.

Mr. H. BERKELEY said, that as the Hon. Member bad
appealed to him in support of his statement, he could state that
as far as Bristol was concerned he could assure the House that
the evils complained of were carried to a tearful extent.
Mr. HUME having stated that he was convinced that if
the duty on to ,acco were reduced to Is. per lb., the revenue
on that article would be at least trebled.
An Hon. MEstsrf moved that the Howe be counted, and
there being only 35 Members present the House adjourned.

BIDEFORD and TAVISTOCK RAIL

Mr. Gough, Pirmer and land agent, was examined, and corrobo-
rated the evidence of the preceding witnesses as to the flourishing
condition of Luton, and the general advantages that the proposed
railway would confer ou that town. Ile also stated that the farmers
would be benefited in common with the other inhabitants of Luton
by this line.

WAY COMPANY.

MILBANK PENITENTIARY.
Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from a person
named Baker, the Superintendent of the Milbank Prison,
praying the House to institute an inquiry into the manner in
which the Milbank Penitentiary was conducted. The peti-
tioner stated that if an inquiry was granted, he would under-
take to prove that the greatest cruelty had been exercised with
respect to prisoners. _ _

A special meeting of the shareholders ook place yesterday,
at No. 44, Finsbury-circus, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of winding up the affairs of the Company, and
deciding whether the dissolution of the Company should be
taken as an act of bankruptcy.
Mr. J. Browne was called to the chair.
The report srated that the Company had been successful
in their application to Parliament, and their object
was to construct a railway from Barnstaple, in the north
of Devon, to Plymouth, in the south of Devon, but they had
been powerfully opposed. By the prospectus it was provided
that the number of shares should consist of 26,000 shares, at
251. per share. 20,000 shares were allotted, and 18,600 were
paid upon.
The following appeared to be the state of the affairs of the
Company :

Mr. Tkomas Rogers, straw-plait manufacturer, of Dunstable, stated
that Luton was the most important town of the county, and superior
to Bedford, and that the price of sea-borne corn at Luton was from
328. to 345. or 355. per ton.
Cross-examined by Mr. Tia.nox —The coal they could obtain at
Dunstable at a cheaper rate was not suited to manufacturing pur-
poses. The proposed railway would give them coal at 7s. or 88.
per ton.
Mr. Wedd, cern. factor, stated that the proposed railway would
effect a considerable saving in the cost of conveying barley, &c.,
from Hertford to Ware, and to other markets along the line. The
first line on the table of traffic showed 600 leads, or 370 quarters,
which had been ascertained by inquiries at the markets. The
ether calculations were derived from the sante sources. A.
railway to Watford would be inadequate to supply the
requirements of the farmers who lived along the present line.
Did not know of any district of equal importance i❑ the kingdom
which was left unprovided with a Bill for a railway, if not an ex-
isting line. There was every description of coal in York, which
could be brought by the railways now in contemplation into the
places al ng the line.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Landon New Price Current of August 4.)
SUGAR—To-day importers of West India Muscovado
Sugar refused to further reduce their prices by private treaty,
and the sales did not exceed 290 hhds and trcs, including at
public auction 118 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes, which went off
heavily and at rather lower rates for the inferior sorts, but
good and fine sustained the former value.
E E FIN ED.—To- day further reduced rates having been sub-
mitted to, tempted the home trade to operate with more
freedom, and several parcels were sold, consisting chiefly of
the lower descriptions.
MAuarrius.—This afternoon 7,356 bags 150 casks 19 hhds

took his place at the Board accordingly.

FOREIGN.—To-day former rates were insisted upon for
Foreign Sugar, but the market had a quiet appearance;
there was little passing privately in white or yellow kinds,
and none was brought to public sale.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was better supplied
with Ceylon Coffee; three parcels, amounting to 4,113 bags
and 7 casks, were submitted to public competition ; the Na-
tive, of which the chief part consisted, nearly all found
buyers, in consequence of merchants submitting to a reduc-
tion on former rates of 6d. per cwt. Mocha met with little
attention, and 96 bales at auction were nearly all taken in.
Cocoa.—This afternoon at public sale 113 bags of Bahia
Cocoa were taken in at 34s to 35s for fine bright red, and at
27s to 32s for damaged.
TEA.—For Black the market has assumed a brisker ap-
pearance, but for Green it is still generally in a quiet state.
In Congou a good
busieess has been transacted during the

CROWN-OFFICE, AUG. 3.

Cross examined —ln the tabular form of traffic, of which he had
spoken, he confined himself to grain. The people of Luton were
decidedly in favour of the proposed line. The expected revenue of
1,892/ , included every description of grain produced along the line.
This table of traffic was not produced before the House of Commons.
All the barley in table C went towards Hertford and Ware.
Re-examined—Was not called for traffic evidence, and the traffic
was admitted on both sides. He had no doubt that the traffic on the
proposed line was superior to the traffic of its competitor. His own
observation confirmed the evidence adduced yesterday.
Mr. E. Rigby, mineral surveyor and engineer, said he had examined
the coal mines from which coal could be supplied to the different
places along the line, and which coal was of very good quality. He
had made calculations as to the cost of bringing coals from these
mines to St. Albans, Luton, arid Dunstable, and he found, taking all
the incidental expenses into consideration, that at the first-named
place coal could be laid down for 17s. Nd., at the seeond for 17s.
lad., and at Dunstable for 18s. 2d. per ton. This would reduce the
cost of coal at St. Albans as. 9y(1., at Luton, 17s. 2d., and at Dun-
stable 15.5. 10d. per ton, making an average Cu the whole of las. 7d.
per ton.
Mr. Pitman, traffic-table maker, stated that he had compiled the
traffic tables of the present line. Received from the two preceding
witnesses the calculations as to corn and coal, and the other re-
maining calculations were formed on the usual base of such matters.
The clear income of the promoters of the railway, after deducting the
necessary expen es, would be 20,925/., and the net profit nearly 10
per cent. on the capital.
This witness was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr.
Austin, without however shaking his direct testimony. •
The engineering evidence was then gone through, which termi-
nated the case for the promoters.
Mr. AUSTIN then addressed the Committee on behalf of the peti-
tioners against the Bill, and contended that the evidence in support
of the Bill was the most preposterous that was ever sub-
mitted to a Committee. lie said that the class of pas-
sengers endeavoured to be drawn into this species of
traffic was not of a nature from which any profitable revenue
could be because they were of a class Who could not be sup-
