SURREY SESSIONS, MAY 18.

The adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey
commenced this morning at the Court Rouse, New-
ingtm-causeway, before J. E. Johnson, Esq.,
deputy-chairman, Lord Lovaine, and a bench of
magistrates.

The calendar contained the names of 39 prisoners
for trial, 30 for felony and nine for misdemeanour,
which is much less than usual at these sessions ;
but that may be accounted for by the proximity of
the Central Criminal Court Sessions.

Before Lord Lovaine, and a Bench of Magistrates.)

APPEAL CASE.

This was an appeal case from the landlord of the
Duke of Sutherland, a new and commodious house,
recently erected in the Lorrimer-road, Walworth,
against the licensing magistrates of the Newington
division, partly heard at Reigate Quarter Sessions,
and the last adjournment, when the Court came to
a reiolntion that the licence should be granted pro-
vided that the appellant came to art agreement with
the builders, kc.
Mr. Knopp said that every matter had been:
settled to the satisfaction of the' bench, which was
also assentel to by Mr. Corner, when Lord Lovaine
said that the appeal must be allowed.
The license was consequently granted, Mr. John-
son and other magis rates of the Newington divi-
sion having left the bench during the discussion.

SAVINGS BANS BILL.

Mr. COLLINS asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, what time he intended to fix for the second read-
ing of the Savings Bank Bill, issued on Saturday, and
when he.would be prepared to submit to the house the
regulations for the future government of those banks ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the second reading of this bill stood for to-morrow.
He intended to ask the house to allow the bill to be read
without opposition, and then to commit it pro forma to
make certain alterations that had been suggested to him.
He thought it would be better to take the discussion
on the bill on its details in committee. He proposed
to go into committee on the bill either on Friday or
Monday next. He proposed to make certain alterations
in the reOption clauses, hot he did not intend to set
out the r,gulations in full in the act.
MILITIA REGIMENTS.

Capt. D. O'CONNELL asked the Under Secretary
for War, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to make any change in the relative rank o!
the regimental baptains and adj utants of militia regiments,
so as to affect the seniority of the former over the lat-
ter ; and, if so, whether he would lay on the table an

CHOICE OF FRIENDS.—We should ever have it fixed
in our memories, that by the character of those whom
we choose for our friends our own is likely to be formed,
and will certainly be judged of by the world. We ought,
therefore, to be slow and cautious in contracting inti-
tclany ; but when a virtuous friendship is established,
we must ever consider it as a sacred engagement.—Dr.

TEEM COHET.—Mr. John Hartnup, the astronomer at
the Liverpool Observatory, has replied as follows to a
gentleman who wrote to him on the subject of the
comet, which at present agitates the minds of timid
People Observatory, Liverpool, May 14, 1857--
bear Sir,—l have not seen the newspaper
paragraphs to
Which you allude respecting the comet which appears
be so much dreaded by the timid, but I can assure
the good ladies of whom you speak as being nervous on
the subject that, however much they may be attached
to life, they may laugh at the idea of so remote a danger
/As the annihilation of our earth by contact with one of
those mysterious bodies. Of the physical constitu-
tion of comets astronomers do not know anything,
Cree'zeept that they appear to be gaseous. The effect pro-

th gaseous material with our atmosphere. Should this
take place, the effect produced is just as likely to be
good as bad ; but, for anything that we know to the
good as
produce te comets put together would not be sa-
t ciett to p any sensible effect. The chance of a
collision is, however, very remote. The late Professor
Arae ,-0 made a calculation as to the probability of the
nucleus of a comet, the form and pusiticn of whose orbit
was not known, coming in contact with the earth, and
f°lllld that the chances were 280,000,000 to 1 against
this taking place. It has been said by a very cele-
brated •astronomer of the present day that we migh, as
Well attempt to ascertain how far a cloud which is driven
sagainst a mountain will tend to break off the top, as to
peculate upon any mechanical danger to the earth from

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, May 16.—Positive information has to-
day been given that the Austrian Government has
never expressed a wish for the dismissal of either
one or oilier of the Sardinian Ministers. The report
that a reconciliation between the two Governments
is on the point of taking place is totally unfounded.
The Vienna diplomatists believe that the
Dresden Journal received its information rela-
tive to the non-ratification of the treaty of
peace between England and Persia from Baron
Seebach, the Saxon Minister, or rather the Russian
agent at Paris.
The murrain has made its appearance at Olschan,
near Olmutz, where there is one of the largest
cattle fairs in Austria. In two farms seven animals
fell sick, and five of them died ; the other two
were knocked on the head, as were three more
which bad a suspicious look about them.
The National Bank cashier Reiter, who had dis-
appeared leaving a deficit of 360,0008., has been
arrested, but no money was found upon his person.
The man affirms that he has spent the whole sum
in playing in lotteries, but naturally his statement
obtains no credit.

The. distribution of the prizes took place yester-
day the Augarten, and the British machinists
had every reason to be satisfied with their share of
them. Gold medals were allotted to the following
English firms :—Messrs. Barrett, Exal, and An-
drews, for locomobiles and thrashing machines ;
Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, for locomobiles
and thrashing machines ; Messrs. Garrett, for
locomobiles and thrashing machines ; Messrs.
Howard, for ploughs and harrows ; Messrs.
Ransomes and Sims, who had the largest
collection, for locomobiles, thrashing machines,
ploughs, &c. ; Messrs. Davy, Brothers, for a
new kind of locomobile ; Mr. H. Clayton for
a brickmaking machine ; Messrs. Hornsby, for
locomobile and thrashing machines. Large silver
medals were awarded to Messrs. Coleman, Turner,
and Company, and Priest and Woolnough. Small
silver medals were given to Messrs. Lloyd, Smith,
and Ashby, Hensman and Son, and Dray and
Company, Messrs. Burgess and Key, Hunt,
Lyndon, and Wright obtained bronze
medals. Great good humour prevailed at
the distribution of the prizes, and each person who
appeared before the Archduke Francis Charles, the
father of the Emperor, to receive his medal, was
honoured with a flourish of trumpets. A sturdy
Tyrolese woman, who had obtained a prize for a
bull, was received with a grand flourish and a hearty
laugh. The good woman was, however, nothing
daunted, for she nodded and smiled on the high and
mighty of the land with extreme good humour, and
probably addressed some of them a la Tyrolienne—
that is, in the second person singular.
The so-called "winter harbour," which is being
formed between New Pesth and Pesth Island, is
6,000 feet long and 720 feet broad. The vessels
which it will coirain in winter are 20 gun-boats,
150 steamers and steam-tugs, 150 barges for the
transport of corn, and 80 or 90 floating mills. The
entrance to the harbour is about 150 feet broad.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—May 18.

(Before the Assistant Judge.)
Henry Hills, 49, described as a clerk, of superior
education, was indicted for unlawfully assaulting
Hannah Stamp, a girl under 12 years of age, with
intent, arc; He pleaded guilty.
Mr. Sergeant Pa•ry and Mr. Metcalfe were for
the prosecution ; M.-. Sleigh for the prisoner.
The Assistant Judge sentenced the prisoner to
be kept to hard labour for one year.
William Benson, 51, weaver, was indicted for
feloniously embezzling three sums of money,
amounting to 601., received by him on account of
James Bellett and others, to wbom he was servant.
He surrendered in court. • _

Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Ribton appeared for the
prosecution; Mr. Sleigh for the prisoner.
He was ound guilty, and sentenced to hard
labour for 15 calendar months.
James Newland, boiler-maker, was indicted for
having fraudulently obtained the sums of lls. sd.
35., and is. 4d., from Jarvis Jones, with intent to
defraud.
Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the prosecution.
It appeared that the prisoner some time ago, was
secretary to the branch of the Friendly Boiler-
makers' Society, at.Bayswater, but had ceased to
belong to the society.

The jury found him guilty.
From inquiries then made it appeared that the
prisoner's character was none of the best, and he
had been under the surveillance of the police at
Bristol. ,He was convicted of felony 10 years ago,
and had been tried a short time since, but acquitted.
Sentenced to six months' hard labour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

IN RE COLLIE.

This bankrupt was described as of Bishop Stortford,
draper, and ho came up to-day for his certificate.
Mr. Cliciley said he appeared for the bankrupt, and
he understood that there was no opposition on the part
of the assignees.

Mr. Mardyn, for the assignees, said that he did not
object to the bankrupt having a certificate, but it was
necessary to state to the court that, just before his bank-
ruptcy, he bad given a bill of sale over his whole pro-
perty, and his expenses had exceeded his profits. He
did ❑ot object to the bankrupt having a certificate of
the second class.

Mr. Chidley said that he could not ask for one of a
higher clase. Certificate granted accordingly.
An application was then made on behalf of Mr.
Scruby to be paid a sum of 3001. on the following cir-
cumstances :—lt appeared that Mr. Scruby was a credi-
tor for cab, and was also liable to the amount of 5001.
on bankrupts bills, and on the 13:h of January last
bankrupt gave him a bill of sale to secure him to the
amount of 3001. The bill of sale was duly registered, but
it was afterwards proposed that the bankrupt should make
an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, the result was
that it was executed, but subject to his bill of sale,
and Mr. Scruby left the trustees in possession, but on
the bankruptcy taking place, he took the property, but
afterwards again gave it up, on the undertaking that he
should be paid 3001. in full. _

His Honour directed an e3riniination to take place.

IN RE

This bankrupt was described as of Milton, next
Gravesend, draper ; and to-day was appointee for choice
of assignees.

Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, appeared
for the petitioning creditor, and assignees were chosen.
The debts are about 7001. ; assets, 301.

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN WOOD.

Capt. ARCHDALL moved for an address for copies
of all correspondence between Capt. Wood, late pay-
master of the Battalion Depot at Winchester, and the
War Departs Put, relating to office accommodation at
Winchester, additional assistants, and resignation of
the paymaster; and of a memorial dated the 3d day of
January, 1856, presented by Captain Wood to the
Minister of War, the"raply thereto, and of all correspon-
dence consequent upon and relating to the said me-
morial and its contents.

Sir .J. RA.NISDEN said that he regretted he was
under the necessity of opposing the motion, upon the
ground that the case was only one of a great number of
similar claims constantly brought before the War De-
partment, all of which were disposed of in strict c)m-
pliance with the established regulations. Government
was of opinion that it would prove most detrimetnal to
the public service if that house was called upon to inves-
tigate each particular case. He trusted that the ~aaliaist
officer would not attribute the course which he was
adopting either to any disrespect to himself or to a wish
not to produce the corresponde❑ce, but solely upon
general and public grounds. (Hear, hear.)
Capt. ARCHDALL expressed a hope that the house
would not rest satisfied with the right hon. gentleman's
explanation—the correspondence for which he moved
contained all the facts of the case, and he ftlt bound to
press his motion—the house would then have an oppor-
tunity of judging the merits of the case. He trusted the
house would do justice to an officer who had faithfully
discharged his duties for 41 years.
• Lord PALMERSTON expressed ahope that the house
would not agree to the motion, which would be to adopt
a principle that would embark them in " a sea of
troubles." Would the house constitute itself a court of
appeal for the War-office
Captain BOLDERO expressed a hope that his hon.
friend would not press his motion to a division.
Motion negatived without a division.
INFANTRY AND CAVALRY.

Sir J. TRELA.WNY moved an address for copies of
all reports of the inspectors general of infantry and
cavalry since the appointments of those officers.
Sir J. RA.NISDEN opposed the motion on the ground
that its production would be detrimental to the public
service.

Sir W. CODRINGTON also opposed the production
of the returns.
Mr. P. O'BRIEN took the same view.
RATING OF MINES.

On the motion of Mr. KENDALL, the following
mem hers were appointed a select committee on rating
the royalties of mines :—Mr. Kendall, Mr. Michael
Williams, Mr. George Cavendish, Mr. Child, Mr.
Bonverie, Mr. Philips, Col. Pennant, Mr. Ridley, Mr.
Spooner, Mr. H. Vivian, Mr. Hume, Mr. H. Herbert,

ASTLEY'S.

An opera at Astley's is such an event as the most
prophetic imagination could scarcely have anticipated in
bygone years, and it is one which even now many
of those who have not witnessed it will probably accept
upon no other principle than that of St. Augustine,
Credo quict imposib4e. Nevertheless, strange as it
may appear, it is no less true than strange, that
yesterday evening Mr. W. Cook achieved a great
trinrnph by the production of "Il Trovatore" in a
style of elegance and splendour which reflects great
credit on his good taste and enterprise. The scenery
is very picturesque, the decorations are exceedingly
brilliant, the dresses nothing less than magnificent, and the
whole mise en scene particularly rich and fanciful. The
extension of a carpet of green baize over the whole sur-
face of the circus, and an ingenious arrangement of
exotics and flowering shrubs, give to the house an air of
coolness, and an appearance of refreshing verdure, pecu-
liarly acceptable in this sultry weather. The opera com-
pany is under the management of Mr. A. Braham, and
Herr Meyer Lutz is the conductor. The parts are cast
as follows :—The Count de Luna (Mr. Barrani), Manrico
(Mr. A. Braham), Ferando (Mr. F. Kirby), Ruiz (Mr.
J. Bawler), Algendo (Mr. J. A. Leffler), Leonora (Mien
R. Isaacs), Azucena (Miss F. Huddart), Inez (Miss Wood).
The introduction of a tournament, with a fierce combat
between the Count and Manrico, at the close of

the first act, and the frequent recurrence of battle-
scenes, afford abundant opportunity for the display of
those "equestrian effects," as they are termed in the
bill, for which the establishment is so justly famed.
Terse occasions are turned to the best possible account.
The combat between the rival knights is conducted with
infinite spirit and address, and the tournament scene is
the grandest that we remember ever to have seen at this
house. Indeed, it would do honour to any house. The
singers exerted.themselvos with complete success, and
Mr. Brabant in particular was enthusiastically applauded.
Indeed, the entertainment is altogether satisfactory, and
affords equal gratification to the eyes and ears of the
audience. At the termination of the opera the National
Anthem was sung by the whole company with excellent
effect. The " Scenes in the Circle" afforded to Mr.
Cooke an opporunity of introducing, for the first time,
three zebras of remarkable beauty.

TRANSPORTATION AND PENAL SERVITUDE'

BILL.

On the motion of Sir G. GREY, the third reading
was fixed for this day (Tueeday).
BANKRUPTCY- AND - INSOLVENCY (IRE•
LAND) BILL.

This bill was read a second time. •
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (IRE-
LAND) NO. 2 BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill.

An explanation was .given by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL for IRELAND as to the of kots of the bill,
which, he said, would ultimately effect a considerable
saving for the public, and lead to the better administra-
tion of justice. There were no new appointments.
After a few words from Mr. Henley, Lord J. Manners,
and Mr. Macaitney, who wished for a select committee
to examine into and .report upon the state of the Irish
bankruptcy law,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND again
exp:ained the enactments of the bill, and defended its
provisions. No less than 4,000/. a year would be saved
by the measure.
Mr. I. BUTT could not see the necessity of giving
1,0001. a-year to two commissioners of bankruptcy for
doing the business which they paid the Right 1100. Mr.
Hatehell 1,8001. a-year far not doing. (Laughter.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND ex-
plained that the increase in the salary of the commis-
sioners was only a fair equivalent for the additional
labour imposed upon them. _ _

Mr. S. FITZGERALD wished to be informed what
would be the total increase on the expenses connected
with the Bankruptcy Court?

The AII'ORNE.GENERAL for IRELAND said
it wou'd certainly not exceed 1,8001. probably n0t1,500/,
The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the
bill passed through committee,

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market is quiet, with a fair business doing in
good useful sorts fit for home consunip:ion. Common
congou is quoted 120.
SUGAIL—No public sales are announced. By private
contracts a good business has been done, and rather higher
rates have been realised for both foreign and colonial.
The refined market is firm, at fully former rates.
CoFFEH•—A small quantity only is announced for public
competition during the week. Several transactions have
taken place in Plantation Ceylon, at improved prices, and
Native is enquired for at fully previous quotations.
IticE.--The lower quotations are in fair demand at
about former values, but the finer descriptions met a very
dull trade at a slight decline in prices.
RIM.—A rather active business has been done, and fine
Jamaica realised a slight advance.
TALLOW.—OnIy a moderate business has been done, and
prices have ruled steady. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
55s 3d, 55s 6d, and for delivery last three months Ms 9d,
55s per cwt.

LAW OF LIBEL.---The fiist meeting of the Lords'
Committee obtained by Lord Campbell, to inquire into
the subject of legalising reports of the proceedings of
both Houses of Parliament, and the public meetings,
was held yesterday in room A. The proceedings were
—as is the custom of committees of the Upper House—
strictly private, no reporter being admitted except one
of the recognised short-hand writers of the house.
SlllClDll.—Yesterday morning Mr. Bedford, coroner
fer Westminster, held a painful inquiry at the Two
Brewers Tavern, Jermyn-street, St. James's into the
circumstances connected with the death of Captain John
Brown, aged 59 years, late of the 23d Royal Welsh Fuel-
tiers, and a member of the Junior United Service Club,
who committed self-destruction by shooting himself with
a revolver at his residence, 8, Charles-street, St. James's-
square, on Friday afternoon last. The jury returned
the following verdict :—" That the deceased destroyed
his own life by shooting himself with a pistol when in a
state of temporary mental derangement." The proceed-
ings, which were attended by a large number of de-
ceased's friends, including several of his late brother
officers, then terminated.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

Petitions were presented against the election returns
of Dubli❑ (City), Lisburn, and Bury St. Edmunds.
SHEEP, &c., CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
PREVENTION.
Mr. BENTINCK moved for leave to introduce a bill
to amend an Act passed in the Session 11 and 12 Vic.,
C. 107 ; also to amend an Act passed in the Session 16
and 17 Vic., c. 62 ; also to amend an Act passed in the
Session 19 and 20 Vic., c. 101, intituled, "An Act to
continue certain Acts to prevent the spreading of con-
tagious or infectious disorders amongst Sheep, Cattle,
and other Animals."

Leave was given accnrdingly, without opposition.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS Bin.

Mr. DILL WYN moved the second reading of this

Sir G. GREY opposed the bill on various grounds,
amongst others that giving summary jurisdiction to one
magistrate, and in some instances to two magistrates, to
i❑flict a flogging on adults, was contrary to the principle
of the present law, which provided that that description
of punishment could only be inflicted by a jury. He
moved that the bill be read a second time this day six
months.

The house then divided, when the numbers were—

GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) ACT (1836)
AMENDMENT BILL.

Oa the motion of Mr. MAGAN, the house went into
committee on this bill, when Chairman immediately re-
ported progress, and obtained ►eave to sit again on
Thursday, the 4th June, to enable hon. members to con-
sider the probable effect of the bill.
MINISTERS MONEY (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. FAGAN moved the second reading of, this bill,
and, in doing so, he repeated the arguments used by
him when be brought forward this measure in the last
session of parliament, when the Government promised
him their support. He entered into a history of the ques-
tion, remarking that it was first imposed in Dublin in 1675,
in the reign of Charles 11., after which it was imposed
on other corporate towns. The tax was origi-
ginally imposed on Protestants for the maintenance of
protestant ministers, and he contended that it ought not
to be continued now that the inhabitants were Roman-
ists. In 1689, 28 years after its imposition, the Irish
Parliament under James 11. repealed it, and it was not
heard of again in Ireland till 150 years after, in the
reign of William 111. The hon. gentleman then referred
to the proceedings is this housein 1842 with regara to this
question, recapitulating the circumstances connected with
it from that time to the present, quoting Lord Derby's
opinions with reference to the Church cess in Ireland,
which, he said, was an argument in favour of the pre-
sent bill.
