POOR REMOVAL BILL.

On the order of the day for the consideration of the
Lords' amendments to this Bill,
The SPEAKER observed that some of those amend-
ments might be held to be an interference with the pri-
vileges of this House.
Lord J. RUSSELL said it had been customary, on
Bills connected with the administration of the poor-law,
to waive that consideration; and ho should recommend
the House to do so in the present instance.
Mr. BAINES said that the amendments were not
such as to interfere at all with the principle of the
Bill.
After a conversation the amendments were agreed to.

On the motion that the report on this Bill should be
received,
Sir J. GRAHAM said he had intended to take the
sense of the House on an amendment which he meant
to propose, and which went to the principle of the Bilt ;
but as the motion had come on rather unexpectedly (it
being fixed for halt-past eleven), he would postpone his
motion till the next stage.

----E;;;dy.RUSSELL had no objection to this course,
provided the discussion was not allowed to interfere with
the progress of other public business.
After a few words from Sir R. INGLIS, the report was
received. _

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCHDUKE JOHN.
On Tuesday, the 11th, the German Parliament met
and the President stated that the report of the festivity
committee recommended that, on the arrival of
the Administrator, he should be waited on by the
Committee, who should, in the name of the Assembly,
welcome him to Frank fort, and then, on ascertaining
when it would be convenient for him to appear
amongst them, a deputation of fifty Members should
be chosen to conduct him to St. Paul's Church.
A Member of the extreme left now ascended the
tribune and stated that, as assertors of the sovereignty
of the people, it was beneath the dignity of the As-
sembly to wait on the Administrator—he should wait
on them.

On this, old Professor ABNDT, of Bonn, in a
speech replete with good feeling, replied, and ex-
pressed the opinion of almost the whole house when
he asserted that the Administrator having been chosen
by them, the representatives of the people, so much
the more were they bound to honour him and uphold
his authority.
On the question being put from the chair, the
measures recommended by the committee were car-
ried by an overwhelming majority; leaving only a
miserable minority of about 20 dissentients.
The Deputation of Fifty was then chosen, and the
House adjourned.

During the whole day the principal line of street
was thronged by people in anxious expectation of the
ARCHDUKE'S arrival. The black, red, and gold flag
was waving from most of the houses ; this, indeed,
with here and there a few wreaths of oak, &c., about
the windows, was all the festive decoration that the
short notice of the Administrator's coming ad-
mitted of.

At half-past six in the evening Archduke JOHN,
Administrator of Germany, arrived amid the roar of
cannon, ringing of bells, and the acclamations of an
immense multitude. The Administrator was dressed
in the grey uniform of an Austrian general. Herr
VON ANDRTAN, one of the deputation sent to Vienna,
sat beside him. He came in a light caleche and six.
He bowed frequently, and stopped now and then in
acknowledgment of the joyful acclamations of the
multitude. He was escorted by the burgher cavalry,
and received with all the usual military honours.
The ARCHDUKE alighted at the Hotel de Russie.

WAYS AND MEANS.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, the House resolved itself into a Committee
of Ways and Means, when the Right Hon. Gentleman
took a formal vote of money out of the consolidated
fund for supplies already voted. The House resumed,
and the report was ordered to be received on Monday.

" Where Chatham's language is the mother tongue."

(Continued cheering.) But let me seize the opportunity
to express my grateful sense of the cordial welcome
which I, in connexion with others, have received in York-
shire. The invitation of your president brought me on
a pilgrimage to this far-famed and world-renowned
valley of 'Mowbray—to this land of abbeys, and I, in
common with others, can testify, that if the old monas-
teries are crumbled to dust, the spirit of hospitality still
survives, and has lost nothing of its strength.—(Cheers.)
And to what an entertainment have we been invited !
We assemble at the base of the most stupendous monu-
ment ever reared by the genius, the delicate taste, and
the religious sentiment of our ancestors—(Cheers)—and
which has been so carefully restored and preserved by
the pious zeal of their poSterity. Indeed, it seems as if
centuries themselves descended round about us to wel-
come this living and moving panorama of the industrious
of the English of to-day—it seems as if the centuries of
the past welcomed the results of your farming husbandry
—results which it would be idle to speak of as
surpassing the beeves which grazed on the hills of the
Palatine, or the snow white bulls which of yore
graced the hecatombs of pagan Rome. You yore
graced
coming together from all parts of Englandfar-
witness the exhibition here made—you yourselves,
mers, of the country which, beyond all others, excels in
farming, are astonished as you contemplate the stock
that is exhibited, in seeing what can be produced by the
skill, the emulation, and the perseverance of the British
farmer.—(Cheers.) Nor may I omit to add my mite of
admiration of the wonderful results of the ingenuity of
this people, as exhibited in the yard where the imple-
ments have been shown, and which have been accom-
plished by the workmen of this ingenious nation, en-
joying the blessings of liberty without restraint—(Loud
cheers)—and living in a climate which, for all you may
say of it, is one of the very best in the world. It is sur.
passed by no climate in avoiding the excess of heat or
cold, and being on that account,above all things,
I friendly
to industry.—(Loud cheers.) And I, too, as I come
here, must add my sentiment of joy in my presence
here, as bringing with it a reminiscence of home ; for
on the other side of the Atlantic we love the cities we
establish, and the towns we plant, we lovei to give to our
villages that mark the line in which the English
Pacific ic
language proceeds towards the c names that re-
mind us of our ancient home.—(Checirs.) The beautiful
emporium of American commerce, the city that gems
the oxcart side—that more than any other binds to-
gether the two hemispheres—takes for its name that of

THE EXPLOSION AT THE CRANBOURNE TAVERN.
—The explosion which occurred at the Cranbourne
Tavern, Great Newport-street, Soho, briefly noticed in
this journal if yesterday, was attended with far more
disastrous consequences than was at first expected.
Mrs. Parker, the unfortunate landlady of the house, and
also the servant maid, are both so much burned and other-
wise injured, that their death is hourly expected. The
house, it appeared, had been recently licensed, and was
just finished, but not opened for business. The family,
however, bad taken up their abode there. On Thursday
night, in consequence of a strong smell of gas being
experience& Mrs. Parker entered the bar with a lighted
candle, and having stood on a chair, she was about to
examine the chandeliers to see whether the burners were
properly turned off or not; -she bad, however, barely
lifted the candle above her head when the exploslon
occurred. 11101111

WORSHIP-STREET.

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A BURGLAR.—John
Kelly was charged with having been concerned with
another man, not in custody, in breaking into the house
of Mr. Vaughan, a copper-plate printer, Gloucester-
place, Hackney-road. The prosecutor, whose right arm
was swpended in a sling, and the side of his head
covered with adhesive plaster, stated that he left home
with his wife after properly securing the premises, upon
the preceding afternoon, and on his return at ten o'clock
was about to open the door with a key, when it was
suddenly thrown open from the inside, and the prisoner
and another man rushed out and attempted to escape.
He seized the prisoner by the collar and held him fast,
when his companion suddenly turned upon him, and,
drawing a heavy weapon from his pocket, dealt him a
terrible blow upon the head, which partially stunned
him. Before he could recover his assaihsot stabbed
him with a sharp instrument, the first of which
cut through the breast of his coat, and in
warding off the others with his arms he received
several severe gashes in his hand. During the con-
flict, however, he resolutely maintained his hold of the
prisoner, and his cries of " Murder" and " Police" at
length attracted the notice of several of his neighbours,
at whose appearance his assailant darted off and eluded
their pursuit. After handing the prisoner over to a
policeman he examined his apartments, and discovered
that, though the place had been thoroughly ransacked,
and several articles packed up ready for removal, his
opportune arrival bad frustrated the intentions of the
thieves.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he was
passing the door a hen he saw two men rush from the
house and pass the proseeut“r, who instantly turned
round, and seizing him by the collar, charged him with
being one of them, and ultimately gave him into
custody.

Mr. ARNOLD, however, considered that the prisoner's
identification bud been too conclusively proved to admit
of any doubt, and ordered him to be remanded for the
formal completion of the case.

BAIL COURT, Mcty 26.

Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN sat for a short time this morn-
ing and disposed of a few motions, none of which possessed
any feature of public interest.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 26.
(Sittings in Banco.)
At the sittings of the Court thi. morning, a female ap-
peared ou the floor of the court and handed up some papers
tot heir Lordships.

The CHIEF BAttox. after examining the papers, said, ad.
dressing himself to the bar, that the applicant complained
that a gentleman of the bar, having certified in a case that
there was a good cause of action, had since declined to go on
with the suit, which was one in forma pauperis. The appli-
cant, therefore. now petitioned the Court, praying that they
would assign to her a counsel to conduct the cause in the
place of the gentleman who had refused to act. lie was
not aware that the Court had any power to interfere
on behalf of the applicant, but, addressing himself to
the head of the profession, he could hardly think that
there would be any objection to some gentleman taking upon
himself the duty of examining whether there was any ground
of action, and if there was, to his going on with the suit in
the place of the gentletnan who had declined.
The ATTORNEY. GENERAL said, very possibly the gentle-
man who had refused to act would, upon reconsideration,
retract his refusal, as it appeared to him that he had entered
into an honourable engagement to proceed with the suit.
The CHIEF BARON—lie tnay, perhaps, on further consi-
deration, be of a different opinion, and think there is no
ground of action.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Forgive mes fur saying, my
Lord, that these certificates are frequently too lightly given,
and that gentlemen should think of the consequences of
their acts.

Mr. 1i:troll ALDERSON-1 he case has arrived;at the stage
of a demurrer, and when it came before me at chambers, I
recummended the applicant to come here and petition the
Court.

The ATTORNEY-GENEHAL—WiII your Lordships permit me
to inalio an inquiry into the matter?
The CHIEF BARON—certainly.
The applie.nt then left the Court,
having been informed
that the Attorney-i. would institute eneral ltute inquiry ou her
hehait:

THAMES.

A COWARDLY CREW.-Mr. R. Hurley, master of the
Arab, appeardd to answer a summons for refusing to pay
21. 7s. wag. a, claimed by Henry Yould, one of his crew.
There were five other summonses. The claim was re-
stated on the ground that the crew had abandoned the
vessel when it was in a state of imminent danger, ltuviug
the captain alone to get it out of its difficulties.
Yould elated that finding the vemel near some rocks,
which were supposed to be the Gasgets, the captain
ordered them to lower the boat and go into it for safety,
saying he would stay by the vessel to see the end of it,
and they might afterwards pick him up it' they could.
Some short time after the captain called out to them to
approach the vessel, and threw them out a line. After
that he vaned the mate and some others to get on board,
which they effected with considerable difficulty. When
the voyage was finished, he asked the captain for hid
wages, but the Etter refused to let him have them.

The captain having stated that he had no pat t in the
ownership, nor any interest in the withholding the wages,
was then oworn, and gave quite a different version of the
story. lle said that, perceiving the danger to be immi-
nent, and wishing to provide tor every contingency, he
ordered the boat to be hung over the rail ; instead of
doing so, however, they low, red the boat down, und the
whole crew entered it, taking the boy with them; one
man ran away from the helm, leaving the vessel without
any director, and he (the captain) had instantly to seize
it. Whilst he was at the helm they put oil' and rowed
away as last us they could. L► some time after, witness
saw, by the bearing of the lights, that the vessel was
out of danger, and that it required only a little assist-
ance to insure its safety. Witness then called to the
crew to come on board, and when he found they hesi-
tated, he could not help calling them a parcel of cowards.
The mate and some others came on b-utrd, and he took
the former below to show him by the chart that the
danger had been passed. The others afterwards cattle
on board, but with a great deal of hesitation.
Mr. BALIANTINE thought the master's statement was
the most probable. The summons was dismissed, and
the others which depended on the same evidence were
abandoned.

LAW INTELLIGEN CE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 26.
XEIVTON V. BELCHER.
The Court was oocupied the greater part of the day with
this case. It was an action brought by Messrs. Newton and
Company, the well-known advertising agents, to recover the
sum of 4,2801. from the defendant, Mr. William Doe Belcher,
formerly Mayor of Abringdon, who had taken an active part
i❑ the management of the Direct Oxford and Salisbury
Railway, one of those unfortunate projects which
the " panic" extinguished. The jury found that the
defendant was not liable for the full amount,
but that he was for the sum of 8771., and they gave
a verdict for that sum on the direction of the Learned Judge.
The plaintiffs being dissatisfied with this amount moved for a
new trial, or that the verdict should be increased by consent,
Mr. CROWDER to-day was heard at great length in sup-
port of the rule. He said the plaintiffs had paid out of their
own pockets between 2,0001. and 3,0001. for the insertion of
the advertisements of the company in the morning and even-
ing papers. So active a part had Mr. Belcher taken i❑ the
line, that the line was altered to pass through Abingdon
to meet his wishes; and in a voluminous correspondence
that took place, he never denied his liability, nor asserted
that he was not amenable for the entire amount. Nay,
more, he was appointed a member of a committee to make ar.
rangements for the settlement of the debts of the company,
which amounted to about 16,0001., in which the defendant
took an active part, and he was also one of the guarantees in
getting some 3,000/. or 4,0001. from the bankers of the company.
There could not be a stronger case of direct liability—and
the plaintiffs having taken the orders on the responsibility
of the defendant and others with whom he acted, he con-
sidered that they would be most unjustly used if
they were to lose some 1,5001. or 2,000/. It was
held that the defendant was only liable from
a given time, and not for advertisements inserted before
that period. A general order of "Go on inserting " was
given a few days before he joined the company, and the ad-
vertisements were then continued from day to day; but
when he joined the company it was only formed, and he
was clearly liable for the former as well as the subsequent
expenses.
Mr. CROWDER, in conclusion, laid great stress on the fact
that the Learned Judge at the trial (Mr. Justice Erle) told
the jury that, if they found the defendant liable from
the 15th of October, their verdict would be for the sum
for which it was given, and that the jury ought to have been
left to name the amount.
