BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the object of clause 4, at which the house resumed, was
simply to give the commissioners a uniform authority in
dealing with all stocks under Parliamentary guarantee.
The effect of this would be to increase the powers of the
commissoners, which at present were in some degree re
•
duced.

This clause, with some amendments, was agreed to ; as
well as clause 17, which relates to the production of ac-
counts. The other clauses were omitted.

The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the house
resumed,
REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LI-
CENCES BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, and resumed
at clause 6.

Col. DUNNE moved as an amendment the following :
Page 3, line 32, after " buildings" insert " which shall be
over the value of £lo,".the object of which was to exclude
from the act all tenements under that value.
After some remarks from Mr. AYRTON,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that as far as he was aware, no instructions had
been given to the police with respect to the mean-
ing of the term " refreshment houses," and he did
not consider there was any difficulty in respect to its
interpretation. In the English bill tobacco shops were
regarded as refreshment houses. The bill would extend
only to 12 or 14 towns in Ireland, because only that num-
ber had a population of 10,000 inhabitants. It had been
considered indispensable to the bills that the right of visi-
tation should be retained, and he could not consent to the
exclusion of houses under a yearly value of £lO.
After some discussion,
Mr. JIENNESSY denounced this bill as a mere mea-
sure of police regulation, and unjust towards a poor class
of persons in Ireland, who would be called on to pay for a
supervision that would invade their privacy.
The amendment was negatived without a division.

SARDINIA.

The Turin journals state the probability of an
interview between the Emperor of the French and
King Victor Emmanuel being one of the incidents
of the Emperor's visit to Nice, during the present
month.

The Official Gazette of Turin, in giving the de-
tails of the action at Melazzo, states that the loss of
the Neapolitan troops was 580, killed, wounded,
and prisoners. Garibaldi's force lost 40 killed, 100
wounded, and 17 prisoners. After the town was
to ken, Garibaldi ordered 39 of the inhabitants,
among whom were several gendarmes, to be shot,
for pouring boiling oil and water on his men during
the attack.

THE DREADFUL MURDER AT WAL WORTH.

The scene of this dreadful murder has throughout the
whole of this morning been visited by thousands, and the
landlord of the beer shop, The Stag, adjoining the house
in which the murders were committed, has in consequence
been doing a thriving trade. A number of constables of
the P division of the Metropolitan Police have been
stationed in front of the premises, No. 16, Manor-
place, to prevent the obstruction of the thoroughfare; but
notwithstanding this arrangement, large groups of persons
assemble in the road and stand for hours, alternately gazing
up at the second floor window and discussing the " latest
particulars" relative to the murder. Of course the most
absurd and ridiculous rumours are current, but the only
facts at present known are those which appeared in Th.
Sun of yesterday, in the examination of the accused at
Lambeth Police-court.

On inquiry at the principal police-3tation of the P divi-
sion, our reporter learned that the relatives of the girl,
Mary Wells Streeter, had arrived in town and identified
the body, who lies with the other three:unfortunate persons
at the Newington Workhouse.

The police are busily engaged making inquiries respecting
the prisoner, but the information collected will not be made
known until it is given before the Coroner at the inquest,
Which is appointed to be held to-morrow morning.
The prisoner firmly adheres to the story he told upon
being taken into custody, and denies that he was ever
seized with insanity.

NAPLES.

A correspondent at Naples writes under date of
the 24th ultimo :—Events become every day more
serious on all points. The monarchy of the Bour-
bons is incurring the greatest dangers, and revolu-
tion appears to have already destroyed the Con-
stitution. At the very moment when Colonel
Bosco was defending at Barcelona the honour
and rights of the Crown of Naples, the King
ordered that all his troops in Sicily should immedi-
ately return to the Continent, and Garibaldi is
henceforth absolute Sovereign in the island. One
would have said that 35,000 men were ready to
embark at Genoa to assist the rebels on the con-
tinent, and that it was necessary to collect all the
forces of the monarchy to oppose them. The
Generals who were detained at Ischia have been set
at liberty, and the King has appointed them to im-
portant posts. General Nunziante, before leaving
for Malta, sent to the King all the decorations,
titles, honours, and pensions which he had received
from his Sovereign. A coup-de-main had been pre-
pared for the 20th, but it was either countermanded
or failed, through some unforeseen circumstance. A
body of 800 revolutionists had been expected from
the Roman States, but they were arrested on the
frontier by General de Lamoriciere. They were
marching under the red flag."

ROME.

A communication from Rome in the Monde

says: --

"It is perfectly certain the French troops will
remain indefinitely at Rome, until they receive a
formal counter order from the Pope, and that they
remain there in order to prevent any disturbance
and any attack of enemies from without or from
within. The Duke de Gramont confirmed this on
his return from Paris. This arrangement gives
General de Lamoriciere the free use of the forces
under his command for the defence of the pro-
vinces, and he has withdrawn from the capital
almost all the Roman troops which were quartered
there. The main body of the Papal army is now
concentrated between Spoleto and Perugia. How-
ever limited may be the favour conferred by the
French Government on the Holy See, in guarantee-
ing Rome by arms, it is nevertheless, under existing
circumstances, a real and important 'service, which
increases the force of the Papal army and which
all rightminded men will duly appreciate."

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Lords' amendments to the Llangollen and Corwen
Railway Bill were considered and agreed to.
The Fergus River Navigation Improvement, &c., Bill

THE PAPER' DUTY. •

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, with
regard to his motion with respect to the paper duty, which
stood for Monday next, that it was the intention of. Go-
vernment to divide that motion into two parts. The
importation from France was under the obligation of a
treaty, and he would make that the subject of a separate
resolution. The importation of paper from other countries
would be brought forward in another resolution, thereby
adopting the same course they had taken in reference to
the importation of wine and corks from the continent.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This DAY.)
The SPEAKE;:, took the chair at twenty minutes pas
twelve o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Tigris River Navigation Improvement Bill was read
a third time and passed.
The Brandon Estates Bill was considered and ordered
for third reading.
ATTORNEYS, SOLICITORS, PROCTORS, AND
CERTIFICATED CONVEYANCERS BILL.
The committee on this bill was resumed.
Clause 19 was struck out and clause 20 was agreed to.
Mr. E. JAMES moved the'omission of clause 21.
The committee divided, and the numbers were—
For the clause • 6
Against it
Majority
The clause was therefore struck out.
The remaining clauses of the bill were agreed to.
Mr. MOWBRAY moved the following clause :—" All
persons who, previously to the passing of the act, shall
have been duly admitted and enrolled attorneys and soli-
citors of the court, of the counties palatine of Lancaster or
Durham, or either of them ; or who shall be admitted and
enrolled attorneys of the High Court of Chancery, and in
her Majesty's superior courts of law at Westminster, in
pursuance of the provisions of this act, without
further examination, upon the payment of such
fees and duty as by law required, provided always that such
admission and enrolment be perfected on or before the first
day of Trinity Term, 1861."
The clause was read a second time and added to the bill.
The CHAIRMAN was then ordered to report progress and
the house resumed.

Mr. HENLEY remarked that the bill had passed
through committee in a manner somewhat hurried, without
he would venture to say many members of the house knoiv-
ing what was new in the bill, and he hoped the hon. gen-
tleman who had charge of the bill would consent to have it
_
reprinted. (Hear, hear.)
_ _ _

Mr. MALINS said the bill had passed through commit-
tee very unexpectedly, and he would advise his hon. friend
who had charge of the bill to adopt the suggestions that
had been just made.

Mr. MURRAY said he had no objection to the course
proposed.
The bill was then ordered to be reprinted.
VOTES FOR DISQUALIFIED CANDIDATES.
On the order of the day for going into committee on this
bill,

Mr. HENLEY expressed a hope that the hon. member
woitld withdraw the bill. It was quite clear that the mea-
sure would not become law during this year, as it could not
be said to be a very urgent bill. Under these circum-
stances, he moved that the house go into committee on the
bill that day three months.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LEEDS, JULY 31.
The arrivals this week are small. The demand to-day
entirely confined to fresh qualities of wheat, which o%'
millers have cleared at last week's prices. No alteration 1n
other articles.

BRISTOL—Jury 31,
The business passing in wheat to-day is slow, but $t
late prices, owing to fine weather and large arrivals. Is
consequence of large arrivals of heated barley, sweet qua-
lities are easily sold at 6d to Is per qr advance on the pre-
vious week. All other articles unchanged.

• LIVERPOOL—JULY 31.
We had a good attendance of the town and country trade
this morning, and a fair business was done in wheat, at
the full rates of last market. Flour more looked after,
and
American the turn dearer. Indian corn was in tolerably
good demand, and mixed American brought fully 3d pe.f
qr more money. Oats and oatmeal very steady, at the Mu
quotations of last week. Beans advanced 6d per qr. Peal
and barley held firmly at extreme prices. Market closed
steady; weather looking unsettled.

London, England, 1860-08-01

NEW ZEALAND. BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Lord LYTTELTON hoped that the house would see the
necessity of postponing this bill until next session. He
strongly objected to the system of withdrawing colonial
questions from the influence of colonial authority, and ex-
pressed a hope that the Home Government would before
long give the colonists more power of discussing suck ques-
tions as the bill inyolved. He moved that the bill be read
a third time that day three months.
Lord LYVEDEN supported the motion.
Lord GItANVILLE did not see the propriety of post-
poning the bill for another session. He briefly explained
under what circumstances the Government had introduced
this measure in the Imperial Parliament.
Lord DERBY would not like to take the responsibility
of rejecting this measure on himself. He preferred leaving
the responsibility of passing it with the Government.
The bill was read a third time.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

RORTSERY OP £206 IN BANK NOTES, &e., A PAGE.—
Alfred Jakins, 16, a page, in the employ of Mr. Benjamin
Rawlings, private hotel-keeper, 38, Jermyn-street, was
charged with stealing the sum of £206165. in Bank of Eng-
land notes, &c., the moneys of his master, also with having
in his possession 4 gold breast pins, 6 gold shirt studs, and
4 gold buttons, all supposed to be stolen.
It appears that Sergeant Silverton, of the C division, hav-
ing received information of the robbery, went to the hotel,
and having questioned all the servants, at length suspected
the boy and went into his room, and under the carpet, which
was nailed down, found the pins and studs now produced.
He asked the prisoner if he had taken the articles, and he
denied all knowledge of them. In a box he found about
100 cigars, some paper belonging to his master, several
knives, &c. After a further search, Sergeant Silverton
found behind a water tank a packet of notes, consisting of
two £5 notes, eight £lO notes, four £2O notes, one £5O, a
cheque for £2O 14s. BJ., one for £l4, and three others.
Sufficient evidence being given for the purpose, a remand
at the request of the sergeant was granted.

THAMES.
AN HONEST FRlEND.—Frederick Merchant, a rather
genteel young man, was brought before Mr. Yardley on a
charge of fraud.

Lawrence Burgess, 100 11, who had charge of the case
said that several persons had accused the prisoner of de-
frauding them, but none of them were in attendance.
Mr. Yardley—Then the prisoner must be discharged.
Inspector Dendy, of the II division—lt is a new system
of fraud, your wors'iip.
Mr. Yardley—For very small amounts
Inspector Dendy—,Yes, sir; but he had carried on his
system of fraud to a very great extent. He has been in
the habit of taking bottles to licensed victuallers
and saying, " I left 2d. on this last night," and
obtaining that amount, the bottles only being worth a
halfpenny. The prisoner has done this in 30 places.
Mr. Yardley—lt is surprising that publicans, who are
generally very sharp, should be so exceedingly:green as to
give 2d. for a halfpenny bottle. It only shows they exact
a ralich larger deposit on bottles than they are actually
worth.
Inspector Dendy—The prisoner has been very successful
in this mode of fraud.

Mr. Yardley—The publicans Can soon correct that by
only asking for a deposit the real worth of the bottle. Is
there any one here ?

Inspector Dendy—No, your worship.
Mr. Yardley—Discharge him, then.
Inspector Dendy—The prisoner carried on the same game
in the city, and was very successful. He had a month's
imprisonment for it.

Mr. Yardly recommended, if a bottle in which liquor
was served was only worth a halfpenny, to receive a half-
penny deposit upon it ; and he would also recommend the
prisoner to apply his talent to some useful purpose, more
particularly as lie had some originality.
The Prisoner--Thank your Worship. He then left the
court.

CORN EXCHANGE.
We had a very limited supply of home-grown wheat on
°Mr in to day's market. Por both red and white the de-
raand was far from active ; nevertheless, Monday's
prices
Were supported.
The imports of foreign wheat continue on a liberal scale,
nevertheless holders were very firm, at full quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain maintained their previous value.
The barley trade was firm, and late Currencies were well
supported. Malt, however, moved off slowly, at late rates.
Most descriptions of oats were taken to a fair extent, at
last week's decline in value. The arrivals from abroad
still continue on a full average scale.
Beans and peas were a fair inquiry, at late rates.
The flour trade ruled steady, on former terms.

THE PAPER DUTY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, with
regard to his motion with respect to the paper duty, which
stood for Monday next, that it was the intention of Go-
vernment to divide that motion into two parts. The
importation from France was under the obligation of a
treaty, and he would make that the subject of a separate
resolution. The importation of paper from other countries
would be brought forward in another resolution, thereby
adopting the same course they had taken in reference to
the importation of wine and corks from the continent.

Six convicts, who were engaged in the marble
quarry at the Sing Sing prison: had attempted to escape by
running past the guard. One of them, named John Rham,
was shot by the officer, and instantly killed, the ball passing
through his head. A desperate struggle took place with
the other convicts, one of whom had to be knocked insen-
sible before he would submit. All were recaptured.

BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

LAW INTELLIGENUE.-(THIS DAY),

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
THE NAMUR, AND LIEGE RAILWAY COMPANY V. PONS-

FORD-APPEAL JUDGMENT.

This is an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir
William Page Wood.

The suit was instituted by the plaintiffs to repossess them-
selves of three thousand £2O scrip certificate shares in their
own company, deposited by them with Messrs. Swaine and
Bovil, and by them handed over to the defendant Ponsford.
Ponsford claimed to have a lien on the shares for money
due to him by Swaine and Bovil, to secure which the shares
had been pledged. The Vice-Chancellor decreed that
Ponsford had no lien on the shares for the specific sum of
£2,250. From this decision the present appeal was brought.
The Lord Chancellor, on considering the terms of the
deposit, and minutely examining the accounts and bill
transactions between the parties and the evidence produced
on both sides, came to the conclusion that Swaine and
Bevi . had not paid the bill for £2,250, for the pay-
ment of which the shares were originally deposited. And
that the accounts showed that this sum of £2,250 was still
dua to the defendant Ponsford. The Lord Chancellor re-
versed the decree of the Vice-Chancellor, and dismissed
the plaintiff's bill with costs

COURT 6F BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Commissioner Faue was the commissioner of the
day, but there was only one case—the examination meeting
of a person named Coutes, who had carried on business as
a draper in Bridge-street, Lambeth. The debts were very
small—about £350.
The bankrupt passed without opposition.

observer. Mr. Edward Davieson particularly invites the
medical profession to examine specimens and style of work-
manship.
DAVIESON'S LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping. Decayed

DEATH OF. MR. HAMMILL, THE MAGISTRATE.—
It is with regret we have to announce the death of Mr.
Hammill, one of the magistrates of the Marylebone Police-
court, who, it will be remembered, received his appoint-
ment in January last, upon the retirement of Mr. Long
upon a pension. The deceased, who was evidently unwell
and complained of pain in the side when he came to busi-
ness on Monday morning, disposed of several night charges
and did duty up to twelve o'clock, when he was unable to
proceed further, and went home in a cab. At half-past six

TBE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

A corps of Artillery Volunteers has been formed
at Blyth, Northumberland, under the name of the
3d Northumberland Volunteer Artillery. The first
drill of the company took place on Saturday even-
ing last, in the Centre-hall at Blyth, a drill-ser-
geant having been temporarily engaged until the
arrival of the officer appointed by the War autho-
rities; and on Monday evening a meeting was to
be held for the election of officers. The ground
chosen for the practice with great guns is the
Sands, which are three miles in length, and have
been approved by the War-office.

SARDINIA.

The Turin journals state the probability of an
interview between the Emperor of the French and
King Victor Emmanuel being one of the incidents
of the Emperor's visit to 'Nice, during the present
month.

The Official Gazette of Turin, in giving the de-
tails of the action at Melazzo, states that the loss of
the Neapolitan troops was 580, killed, wounded,
and prisoners. Garibaldi's force lost 50 killed, 100
wounded, and 17 prisoners. After the town was
taken, Garibaldi ordered 39 of the inhabitants,
among whom were several gendarmes, to be shot,
for pouring boiling oil and water on his men during
the attack.

BERWICK ELECTION COMMISSION.

BERWICK-ON-TWEED, JULY 30.
The royal commission, consisting of Mr. James
Vaughan, Mr. Franklin Lushington, and Mr.
Thomas Irwin Bastow, appointed to inquire into
the existence of corrupt practices in this old border
town, commenced its sittings in the town-hall this
morning.

Mr. Vaughan, the chairman, opened the proceed-
,ngs.with a short address.

M. Thomas Allan, sheriff of Berwick, deposed to
an election which took place on the 20th August,
1859.

Mr. J. C. Weddell, solicitor, and under-sheriff at
the last election,' gave a history of the recent elec-
tions. In the last contest, Mr. Marjoribanks beat
Mr. Hodgson, the Conservative candidate, by one
vote. Berwick is an ancient borough. He said it
has returned members since the reign of James I.
Up to the passing of the Reform Act, the consti-
tuency was entirely freemen. At that time he
could not tell their numbers. In '59 the consti-
tuency was 814. There are 376 freemen. From
his experience as an agent, he was not aware
whether freemen or £lO householders are more
corrupt. The repulation on the subject is different.
The class most open, it is generally supposed, are
the ancient freemen. Had heard no precise number
said to be under the influence of corrupt practices.
Should think there were not 100. There might be
a considerable number. The rental of these parties
vary from .£lO to £lOO. The average might be
from .£lO to £25.

Mr. Robert Horn, town clerk of Berwick, was
then examined, and his evidence was followed by
that of Mr. Launcelot Turner Fleming, election
auditor ; and of Mr. Robert Douglas, solicitor in
Lerwick, and agent of Mr. Maijoribanks at the
last election.

Mr. Stephen Saunderson, also a solicitor at Ber-
wick, and under-sheriff, produced the poll-book
and register, and the inquiry was adjourned to
ten o'clock to-morrow.

THAMES:

AN HONEST FRlEND.—Frederick Merchant, a rather
genteel young man, was brought before Mr. Yardley on a
charge of fraud.

Lawrence Burgess, 100 11, who bad charge of the cat"
said that several persons had accused the prisoner of de-
frauding them, but none of them were in attendance.
Mr. Yardley—Then the prisoner must be discharged.
Inspector Dendy, of the II division—lt is a new system
of fraud, your wors'iip.
Mr. Yardley—For very small amounts ?
Inspector Dendy---,Yes, sir, but he had carried on his
system of fraud to a very great extent. He has been in
the habit of taking bottles to licensed victuallers
and saying, " I left 2d. on this last night," and
obtaining that amount, the bottles only being worth a
halfpenny. The prisoner has done this in 30 places.
Mr. Yardley—It is surprising that publicans, who are
generally very sharp, should be so exceedingly:green as to
give 2d. for a halfpenny bottle. It only shows they exact
a much larger deposit on bottles than they are actually
worth.

Inspector Dendy—The prisoner has been very successful
in this mode of fraud.
Mr. Yardley—The publicans can soon correct that by
only asking for a deposit the real worth of the bottle. Is
there any one here ?
Inspector Dendy—No, your worship.
Mr. Yardley—Discharge him, then.
Inspector Dendy—The prisoner carried on the same game
in the city, and was very successful. He had a month's
imprisonment for it.
Mr. Yardly recommended, if a bottle in which liquor
was served was only worth a halfpenny, to receive a half-
penny deposit upon it ; and he would also recommend the
prisoner to apply his talent to some useful purpose, more
particularly as he had some originality.
The Prisoner—Thank your worship. Ho then left tlie
court.
