CENSUS BILL.

(LEVI SITTING.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past 12 o'clock.

Several petitions were presented praying for the omis-
sion from the bill of the clause relating to the profession
or religious belief,

MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, and resumed
at clause 10.

Mr. AYRTOId moved the following amendment to in-
sert after rule 15:—Rule 16. Where the persons em-
ployed in any coal mine, colliery, or iron-stone are paid by
the weight, measure, or gauge of the coal, ironstone, or
other material gotten by them, such coal, ironstone, or
other material shall be truly weighed, measured, or gauged
accordingly ; and it shall be lawful for such persons, at
their own cost, to station a person 'at the place appointed
for such weighing, measuring, or gauging, in order to take
an account thereof, and to ascertain the correctness of the
weight, measure, or gauge employed therein."
Mr. RIDLEY considered that the terms of the amend-

rent were not specific enough, and suggested the addition
of the following words—" on behalf of such person by whom
he is so employed."
After some conversation the amendment of Mr. AYRTON
was adopted and the clause, as amended, was agreed to.
Clauses 11 and 12 were also agreed to.
On clause 13,

Mr. AYRTON moved the following amendment :
" Page 6, line 1, after 'respectively,' insert 'provided
always that such special rules shall be suspended in the
manner provided in the fifteenth section of this act, for the
period of fourteen days, before the same are transmitted to
the Secretary of State.' "
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. CLIVE moved the following amendment :
" Page 7, line 8, leave out after accordingly' down to and
including ' established' in page 8, line 4, and insert in
case of the death, incapacity, or refusal or neglect to act of
any arbitrator under this Act, another arbitrator shall be
appointed in his place."
The clause with the amendment was agreed to.
On clause 20, _ _

Mr. CROOK moved the following amendment :—" Line
39, leave out serious ;' and after ' injury,' insert ' which
shall be of such a nature as shall have prevented the per-
son or persons injured from returning to his or their work
at such mine or colliery before nine of the clock in the
morning of the nest following wuzkilig day."
The amendment was adopted, and the clause as amended
was agreed to.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY .)

COMMITTAL OF A CHILD FOR ROBBING HIS FATHER,
AND OF A MARINE STORE DEALER FOR RECEIVING.—
Charles Henry Gilpin, a little boy, whose head only just
topped the dock, was charged with stealing a quantity of
feathers, of the value of 305., the property of his father, and
a marine .store dealer, named Eliza Bradley, of Fitzroy-
market, was also charged with receiving the same, well
knowing them to Le stolen.

The father, a French polisher, said on going home ho
missed the feathers from a bed and two pillows, the value
of them being at least 305., and ascertaining from his son
that he had sold them at the female's shop, he went there
and asked whether she bad bought any. She admitted she
had, and said she had given 6s. for the bed and 21. 6d. and
Is. for the pillow feathers; and, on his asking why she
bought them of such a little boy, she said, " I have to do
my best."

A constable (107 G) said the female prisoner said she
gave him 2s. 6d. for the bed feathers, and 4d. for those of
the pillows. On asking the prisoner what she had done
with them, she said she had sold them to a Jew.
Mr. Bealon having repeated the usual caution, asked
the female what she had to say.

Bradley said the feathers were not clean, and she thought
she haa given a fair price for them. Shs had only got 6s,
for them of a Jew.

Mr. Beadon said that was her account. She would cer-
tainly go for trial, for if it was not for such receivers there
would be no such thieves. He would take the father's own
bail for the boy in £4O to appear at the sessions.
Subsequently Bradley was admitted to bail, two sureties
in £4O each.
The prisoners were committed for trial.

CITY BETTING—(YEsTERDA.y).

The Raving Time says :—There was considerable bustle
and excitement in both the City and Belgravian districts.
The settling passed off (as we are happy to have to chroni-
cle it has lately) most satisfactorily.
Every one was busy on the forthcoming great events,
and some heavy amounts were invested on various animals.
There was a great desire to back several at the
marked prices, amongst which we enumerate the July
Stakes at Newmarket, for which Walloon and Dictator
were in strong demand, and the former left off at 5 to 2, and
the latter was backed for some money at 3 to 1. Lupus
was backed at 6 to 1, and although several others were
spoken of, still they were not backed for any money. For
the Stamford Plate, Queen of the Vale was, as might have
ben supposed, made the favourite, and as little as 3 to 1
was take" with avidity. Brown Duchess and Satellite were
each supported at 6 to 1, and both had numerous admirers,
especially the latter, but no vast amount of money was in-
vested.

For the Cumberland Plate Wildman was " all the go ; "
in fact, there was scarcely anything else thought of, much
less spoken about. 6to 4 was hardly offered before it was
taken, so eager were the backers to get on.
The Worcester Stakes attracted but little attention,
nothing else being mentioned but Crater, the longest price
offered being 6 to 4.
On the Liverpool Cup speculation was very brisk ; in
fact, there was more absolute business done on this than on
any other forthcoming event. Aston was in great demand
from the opening of the rooms, and although at first 6
to 1 was obtainable, at the close 4 to 1 was his really
marketable price. Viatka seemed to be the next in favour,
Bto 1 being taken. Moorcock, Horace, Adam Bede, and
the Druid were each supported in different quarters with
some spirit. For the Good wood Stakes Gridiron ad-
, vaned in favour. At the commencement 6 to 1 was
taken, but after a short interval as Mile as 5 to 1 was
taken freely, and eventually 4 to 1 was the highest offer.
Rattiebone had no friends to-day, so they " hit hire
again." At the finish his knock down was 100 to 8.
Stapleton was backed freely at 12 to 1, and Satellite came
all at once and was backed for money at 20 to 1, and 100 to
6 at last could only have been procured to an infinitessimal
amount. _ - _

For the Goodwood Cup 4 to 1 was offered on the field.
Butterfly was the only animal we saw backed, and 8 to 1
was taken about her.
The Doncaster St. Leger betting had no animation, and
will searcely require any comment.
The following qaotations show the latest state of the
market :

FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—DURHAM,
July I.—A most frightful accident occurred on the Bishop
Auckland branch of the North-Eastern railway last night,
by which the engineman and fireman of the Government
train were killed on the spot and a very serious amount of
damage was done. The train left Bishop Auckland for
Newcastle'and Sunderland at 10 minutes before nine o'clock,
but fortunately, though it was market night, it had not
many passengers—none first or second class. It had passed
the lofty viaduct that crosses the river Browney, and was
within little more than a mile of till's city, when the engine
snapped its connection with the tender and ran off the
line. It tumbled completely over, and instantly crushed
to death the engineman (John Hall) and the fireman (John
French), and by the concussion the whole of the carriages
in the train were forced off the line. The first and second
class carriages were smashed to pieces ; but, fortunately,
the third-class passengers—the only persons travelling in
train—escaped with a shaking. The cause of this fearful
accident has not been ascertained. The rails, which were
torn up for several yards, have been relaid, and the traffic
is undisturbed by the catastrophe. An inquest will be
held upon the bodies of the two men to-morrow (this day).
MURDERS IN 1859.—The police returns state that
as many as 95 murders were committed in England and
Wales in the year ending at Michaelmas 1859. In the com-
plete year 1859 coroners' inquests found verdicts of murder
in 204 cases (115 of them against women), but in very many
instances on further investigation such cases range them-
selves under the head of manslaughter. Of the 95 murders
12 were committed in the metropolitan police district, 12 in
Yorkshire, and 19 in Lancashire ; but only 18 persons were
convicted of murder in 1859, and 9 executed ; 6 of these 9
were under 27 years of age, and one was only 18 ; these
were all murders without any extenuating circumstances
which could be admitted as a ground of mercy. A few
other crimes besides murder are still capital, and sentence
of death was recorded against 52 persons in 1859, though
only the nine above mentioned were executed. Only 30
years previously, in 1829, 1,385 persons were sentenced to
death, and 74 executed, 51 of them for crimes not now
capital. Two of the murders in 1859 were committed by
lunatics in the same month in which they were discharged
from private lunatic asylums. 1,240 cases of self-murder
came before coroners in the year, probably all mercifully
covered by the jury with a verdict of "
