SUPPLY—THE EMBASSY AT PMtIS.

On the order for g.,ing into committee of supply,
Mr. WYSE said he saw with astonishment i., the es•
timates delivered on Saturday, a vote of 19.296/. for
the embassy-house at Paris, on which 135,0001. bad
been expended. He hoped some explanation would
be offered on this point by the Goveroment. He
th,ught it would be better that the ambassador in
Paris should be allowed 5,000/. a-year to find his own
house, as was the case with the French ambassador
in Englar,d.
Mr. HAMILTON said he should be happy to lay
on the table the reports and correspondence which was
the foundation of the present vote.
The house went into committee of supply, and
several votes were agreed to without discussion.
On the vote of 10 0001. for Hong Kong,
Mr. WILSON objected to the vote on the ground
that it was fur local, and not imperial purposes.
Lord STANLEY said the Government had cut cff
every item from the expenses which was not neces-.
pary.

The vote was then agreed to.
Oa the vote of 40,000/. for extra diplomatic expen•
diture,
Mr. WYSE objected to such a large an amount,
and th.tight that 20,000/, would be ample, and he
moved an amendment to that effect.
Mr. W. S. FITZGERALD said there were many
diplomatic arrangements pending, about which it wbs
impossible to obtain a correct estimate.
The committee than divided, and the numbers were—

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEALS.

RICKETTS AND ANOTHER V. CARPENTER AND ANOTHER.
EX PARTE AS TO CERTAIN RESPONDENTS. - FURTHER

HEARING.
This cause was appointed for hearing this morning, at
11 o'clock, to be re-argued by one counsel of a side.
Tho further hearing of this cruise, v:ilich was ad.
journed on Friday, was resumed this morning.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., resumed and concluded his reply.
The only point in contention in whether, upon a fair
and true constructio❑ of the will of the late Gener ,1
Carpenter, the demise of an annuity of 2,5001. to the
widow cf his son, the late Colonel Carpenter, who was
then unmarried, in case the son survived his father, was
a good and valid bequest, in the event of the 8013 pre-
deceasing the fat her and leaving a widow. The Master
of the hulls held the bequest good, and the appellant
appealed. Counsel now admitted that the demise to the
grandson was good, but disputed the bequest to his
father's widow.

At the conclusion of th© argument of counsel, th©
Lord Chancellor adjourned the farther consideration of
the case till Thursday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SUNDAY NIGHT IN GREEN'S-cOUßT.—James Gibbons
was charged with assaulting Mary Moran, in Green's-
court, Soho.
The complainant said she was in Green's-court on the
previous night, when she bad a few words with the wife
of the prisoner, and shortly after the prisoner came up
and struck her, and while on the ground kicked her vio-
lently in the mouth. Two or three men came up and
separated them, and she was taken into a house, and
advised to stay till he would be gone.
Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, put several
questions to the prosecutrix, from which it appeared that
she and prisoner's wife, in addition to having " a few
words," were dragging each other about by the hair of
the head, a thing not at all uncommon in the court,
and one witness observed that he thought nothing of
such things in the court, for it appears that the cases
from the locality, of a sitnilar nature, gave the court at
times plenty cd business—that morning two or three
applications for warrants and summonses having been
granted by the magistrate.
. . .

Police•constableßarnes was called, and he said that
he thought the wcund on the prosecutrix's mouth was
done by a blow and not a kick.

The prisoner was fined or a month.
The prosecu rix came into court afterwards and 'aid
she bad been threatened to have her life taken for cowing
into c,,urt.

Mr. BeAdon sent an cfficcr to caution the person cum-
plaiued of.

ROBBING AN OECEIABD.—M3IABY PUNISHMENT.--
Two boys, named Alfred and James Barker,
were brought bore Mr. Selie, ch trged with stealing
apple*.
Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, defended the prisoners.

Samuel Saville, a gardener, of No. 2, Plough Cottages,
Stepney, said he was in the employ cf Mr. James
Adam, the proprietor of a garden and orchard adjoin-
ing the Tower Hamlets Cemetery. On Saturday after-
noon he found the two prisoners picking apples from a
tree in the garden of his employer, and putting them
into a handkerchief nn the ground. The handkerchief
was full of apples, and he valued them at Is.
In cross:-examination by Mr. Smith, the witness said
he flogged the two boys, one with a cord and the other
with a stick. Ile also made them fast to a tree and kep'
them tied up until his governor came.
Mr. Selfe—lf you think proper to take the law into
your own hands I can't punish them, and they are dis-
chargA.
Mr. Smith said the boys were treated with barbarous
cruelty by Savage, he meant Saville, and he in-
tended to apply for a summons against the gardener for
a,saulting them. The back of one boy was in an awful
state—in fact in such a state as was almost beyond belief.
Mr. Se:fe—The boys were caught stealing apples, and
if you take out a summons against the gardener for an
assault, I must entertain the charge of robbery. At
pres 2:4 I take one ca ,e a-; a setaiff against the other.
Mr. Smith—l appear on public grounds only to com-
plain of wanton ci uel!y to these poor asd wretched
boys. lam informed that the back of ore of the boys
is like a piece of liver.
Mr. Selfe a-ked the gardener if he told Mr. Adams he
had flogged the boys.
Saville—Yes, I did, sir.
Mr. Selfe—Then he ought to have been satisfied with
that, and not have brought them here.
The boys bared their back, and there were a few
marks such as would happen after a slight punishment.

Mr. Selfe—l have often had a worse—back than either
of these boys. There has been no unnecessary severity.
Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk —Very merciful punishment,
indeed.

Mr. Smith said he had been misinformed, and left the
court with the boys.
