LAW LORDS.

Upon the queetion being put,
Sir R. BETHELL rose and said,—Sir, I wish to tre•i-
pass upon the time and patience of the house ler a short
period, while I endeavour to bring before it some con-

siderations which appear to me to affect in r, material
degree the regularity and the decency of proceedings in
Parliament, even if they do not in some measure affect
the privileges of members of this hoive. If there be in
any nation two deliberative aseecublies, it seems consis-
tent with propriety and also with the obligations of
decency that it a speech be delivered by a member of
oae of those deliberative bodies in considering a measure
brought before it, that it should not be competent for
any member of the other assembly, before the measure
is submitted to them, to take that particular speech and
to make it the subject of criticism, and to accompeny
that criticism by personal and offensive observations.
(Hear.) It is impossible to conceive anything that would
ore tend to interrupt the order which should prevail ii'
eliberative assemblies or which could more interfere
with regularity and propriety of conduct on the part of
members than such a coarse of proceeding. (Rear.)
But, sir, one might condone this—one might pass it
over without remark, if it were the accidental exuberance
of zeal or enthusiasts on the part of some young member
of the house—(hear, and a laugh)—one might even for-
give it if the offender bad been accidentally betrayed
upon one occasion only into such forgetfulness; buf, if
it turns out to be a practice repeatedly pursued—(hear,
bear)—frequently remonstrated against in private,
although farburne to be noticed in public ; if it turns
out to be a practice fellowed by grave and reverend and
aged men—(a laugh)—entitled to be regarded as leaders
in the assembly of which they era members, and who
may fairly be expected to afford the younger member
examples of order, of regularity, and decency—(a
laugh)—more especially when those grave and eininen,
Wu proceedings personages happen to be investel with the highest political
giveag:t wthiu°l:.

TERRIBLE COLLIkEY EXPLOSION FEAR ABERDARE.—
Loss ost 19 Lwits.—The explosi,,,n in question occurred
at about tw,, o'clock, on Thursday, at one of the Lower
Duffryn C %m Pennan, near Mountain Ash.
so soon as a knot ledge of the catastrophe becarneknown
above gr und, the rela ives of the men etarl-yed in the
wine, and nowerone residents of the nojaueut cottages,
bean to assemble at the mouth of the olio::: y It was
soon ascertained that out of 32 hands wh., were in the
colliery at the time as many as 19 had been kid d.
Upon endeavouring to ascertain the circumstances that
had led to the explosion, it was found that at the poin•
where the explosive gas fired, a part of the headway of
the cutting bad fallen in. The body of a man was
was found quite dead close to this spot; but his safety lan-
tern, which had been given to him in common with the
other men, securely 1.-icked, could not be found. By the
bodies of the other 18 men the laDttirlll3 were all found
safely fastened and uninjured, and the (pinion enter
tained is that some of the stones, in their descent from
the headway, struck and bruke his safety lamp, and that
the naked flame, coming in contact with the full volume
of the gas, ignited it and caused the explosion which
resulted so fatally. The catastrophe has spread quite a
gloom over the entire neizhnourhood, and the utmost
!etlyietT is fek for the recoyery of the bodies,

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Sir W. JOLLIFFE in moving the adjournment of
he House on its rising till Monday, said he
did so with a view to inform the House the
course it was proposed to be pursued by her
Majesty's Ministers. It was the desire of the
noble earl at the head of her Majesty's Government,
that the house should assemble again on Monday for the
iespatch (.f business, and at the same time move such writs
as might be necessary for those of that had
not yet bee❑ filled up It would then be his duty to ask
the house to adjourn from Monday till Friday week,
the 12th 11arch, the earliest period they could naturally
hope her Maj-'s,y's Ministers would be again in their
places to conduct the business of the house. (Hoar.)

PARIS, FRIDAY.
The Emperor yesterday received a letter from
the reigning Duke of Brunswick, acknowledging
the receipt of the credentials of Count de Damre-
mont.
The Constitutionnel says :—" Felix Pyat has
published in London a pamphlet talked of for tome
time, entitled Lettre au Parlentent et ala Presse
it is an apology of the crime of the 14th January,
a tissue of ignoble and savage calumeies and san-
guinary menaces. A letter written by the same
M. Pyat, in the name of the Commune Revolution-
naire, was read by bimat a meeting held in Landon
to celebrate the 24th February (the anniversary
of the establishment of the Republic of 1848 ;
and ,was received with frantic applause. Se-
veral speeches, all in favour of assassination,
were delivered ; and an English Chartist expressed
the hope that the Emperor Napoleon 111. would
s,,oit be shot. Before the meetiog broke up, a
Polish printer, named Switoselowski, propos' d
three dicers in honour of Orsini, and they were
given with entousiasm."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS. ---(YEVERDAY.)
Their lordships assembled at 5 o'clock.
Lord REDISDALE, as deputy speaker, occupied the
woolsack.
The house presented rather a singular appearance,
from the change of places occasioned by the members
and supporters of the late Ministry taking their seats on
the Opposition side of the house. The seat formerly
occupied by the Earl of Derby was this evening
filled by Earl Granville, next to his lordship sat Lord
Cranworth and the other peers who held office in the
late ministry. The Mini-Aerial side was rather thinly
attended ; the front or Government bench was occupied
by the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Lonsdale, Lord Col-
ville, and the Duke of Montt .se.
THE CA.GLIA.RI.

Lord LY.N.DHl7RSTpresented a petition on behalf
of the two persons arrested on board the Cagliari
steamer. It complained of the ill-tre tment to which
they hid been subjected, by which the health of both
had heen very grqatly imnaired.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived.
The Espana publishes a letter from the Marquis do
Mirafiores, in which he denies a statement wade by
the Journal des Debats of Paris to the effect that

he had declared against the principle of representa-
tive government. Rumours of changes in the
ministry had been revived, and it was said, but not
generally credited, that after voting an authorisa-
tion to levy taxes, the Cortes would be dissolved.
A postal treaty between Spaia and Great Britain
was on the eve of being concluded. Tro,,ps were
being sent off for Cuba inconsequence of the gravity
of the news from Mexico. .The weather was fine,
and' the price of wheat was falling in all markets.

A letter from Vienna of the 21st in the Hamburg
News says :—" The Turkish ambassador has to-day
received a telegraphic despatch announcing that a
part of the corps of Nahil Pacha had arrived at
Mostar, and that operations against the insurgents
had commenced. The Pacha of Scutari had re-
ceived orders to occupy militarily the villages of
Sevic and Kernue, of which the Montenegrins had
taken possession. Prince Danilo now appears to
comprehend that he cannot on this occasion resist
Turkey, which will co limence its expedition against
Montenegro as soon as troops shall have arrived. He
has, on the advice of the French consul, issued a
proclamation in which he disavows the Montene-
grins, who took part In the combats of Zubio and
Trebigne."

A letter from St. Petersburg states that the
nobles of the governments of Orel and Voronoje
have solicited for drawing up plans for the emanci-
pation of the serfs. Including these two, there are
now seven governments in which serfdom will
shortly bo abolished :—they possess a population of
7,500,000 souls, and cover a surface of 5,870 square
geographical miles.

HEALTH OFLONDONDURING THE WEEK

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
Twelve hundred deaths were registered in London in the
meek ending Saturday, Aug. 7. - the ten years 1848-57
the average number of deaths in corresponding weeks- was
1,172; but as the deaths now returned becurred in a popu-
lation which has annually increased, they can only be corn-
pared with the average after the latter is raised in proportion
to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,289. It is
necessary, however, to remark that the series of weeks from
which the average is drawn, comprises two weeks, viz., one
in 1849, another in 184, when cholera was epidemic and
caused excessive mortality ; and if the comparison is made
only with seasons not so distinguished, it will appear that
the mot tality of last week was not low, but rattier exceeded
the average.
The "healthy rate" of mortality as it is derived from those
districts of Eugland where the mortality is lowest, though
not so low as when sanitary principles are better understo;ol
and applied it will become, would have produced 799 deaths
in the week in a population equal to that which exists in
London. The present return, therefore, shows an excess of
about 4C03 constituting what may be called the unnatural
part of the mortality.
It is satisfactory to observe that the deaths from diarrheca,
which had risen from 1:27 to 168 in the last week of July,
declined again last week to 130. The corrected average for
ten corresponding weeks is 17:2; and in the first week of
August last year the number from this complaint rose to
258. Fifteen deaths were reported in the previous return
from cholera ; the number now returned is only 5, two of
which are those of adult=, a brewer who died from "English
cholera" in Bermondsey, and a labalirer in Woolwich Ar-
senal, who died of cholera affer a few hours' illness. Scar-
latina appears to be increasing; tie deaths from it in the
last three weeks were 58, 78, and 86. Mr. Simpson, the
Reeistrar of St. Giles, North, regi-tered 5 deaths from scar-
latina last week ; he states that it is much on the increase
in his sub-district, and mentions a house, 25, High-street,
where three fatal cases of tine disease have occurred within a
week.

Six nonagenarians died in the week ; the tno eldest were
a woman, aged 95 years, who died in the workhouse, Lam-
beth, and a widow, aged 99, who had lived in Charlotte-
street, Tottenham- eon! t- road.
Last week the births of 795 boys and 753 girls, in all 1,553
children, were regis•ered in London. In the ten corre-
sponding. weeks of the years 1813-57 the average nutukr
was 1,505.

consideration, and he submitted as to these it was impossible
to suppose that the prisoner had pat them into that bundle.
Would they, upon that fact alone, convict the prisoner? If
they found there was some suspicion, let them lock at the
conduct of the prisoner, and he then submitted that they
tins teel that seine other person had committ,d those most
fold acts, and that the prisoner must he innocent. They
were nut to convict a man upo❑ mere suspicion, hut a sus-
picion beyond all doubt; and they must bear in mind that it
was a cardinal doctrine in the adminwration of criminal jus-
tice in this country, that if the jury had in their minds any
reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused they must give
it in favour of the prisoner.
Mr. Baron Watson then summed up the case. They had
been assisted with the most singular ability and ingenuity
by the counsel on both sides. They were not there for
the purpose of allowing persons to escape from crime,
nor were they there to convict any person without sufficient
proof of his guilt. They were not to convict upon
suspicion, but to convict only upon legal evidence
leading to a conclusion that would satisfy them beyond all
reasonable doubt that the prisoner was the person who had
committed this act.
The jury retired at half-past 12 o'clock to consider their•
verdict, an: returned at five minutes to one, and then gave
a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Baron Watson then passed sentence of death upon
the prisoner.

This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage.
The defendant did not appear.
Mr. A. Crosse appeared for the plaintiff.
It appeared that both the plaintiff and defendant live at
Preston, the plaintiff being a bootbinder and the defendant
overlooker in a factory. For two or three years the defendant
courted the plaintiff, when having met with one Margaret
Crooke, who became in the family way lily him, he thought she
would suit him better, and told the plaintiff his opinion
in that respect by announcing to her, " He was going to sell
her." On that occasion the plaintiff, there being another per-
son present in the room, asked the defendant if he could deny
that he bad promiselto marry her, and the defendant an-
swered that he could of tlo that. The defendant afterwards
got married by the priest to Margaret Crooke, and admitted
his marriage. Y To show the defendant's means it was proved
that he was earning 30s. a-wee k, and for the loss of the advan-
tage of being his wife, and fnr the injury done to her feeliugs,
the plaintiff now sought compensation in damages.
The jury found a verdict for the plaint.ff—damages, £5O.
The of her causes tried in the couree of the day were of the
most uninteresting character.
