LAW INTELLIG-.ENCE—(2Ias Day).

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr, Kerr.)
REPEAL OF THE PAPER DTJTY AND THE BOOREINDERS.-

CROUCH V. HARE.

This was a judgment summons, defendant being a book-
binder.

His Honour—Well, Mr. Hare, why have you not paid
this claim P

Defendant—l have had nothing to do.
His Honour—l see you are a bookbinder.
Defendant—Yes, but the duty being taken off paper has
thrown us all out of work.
His Honour—Surely you do not mean to say that. the
repeal of the paper duty interferes with your work ?
Defendant—l do. People won't make any more until
the Ist of October.

His Honour—And WQ are to have no more books.

Plaintiff and defendant then began to open up the case,
but his honour, who appeared rather struck with defen-
dant's excuse, said, "You can't go into the matter again ;
but tell me, Mr. Hare, how is it the duty off paper makes
all this difference ?"

Defendant—Well, they wish to use up their old stock.
You see it will make a difference of £l4 per ton to them,
and so they won't make any more till the Ist October.
His Honour granted defendant a longer time.
In a second case a label printer said that times were very
bad, and that dealers would not now keep any stock.
Hid Honour observed that the repeal of the paper duty
appeared to cause all the mischief, and granted defendant
a little time.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—A BROTHER CHARGED BY
HIS SISTER.—John Perry, a tall young man, was charged
before Mr.:Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain*
a diamond brooch, and other articles of jewellery of the
value of aO, the property of Emily Perry, of 6, Boyle-
street, Saville-row.

The prosecutrix said the prisoner is my brother. On
Saturday morning last, about half-past two, I missed from
my bed-room and drawing-room tables a quantity of jewel-
lery, a gold watch and chain, and a purse with some gold in
it—my loss being about £6O. I had seen them safe a short
time before. The prisoner had called, I ascertained from
the servant, to gee me a little before 12, but I had not then
reached home. As soon as I missed the property I sus-
pected my brother, and went to Vine-street and gave infor-
mation to the police.

Prisoner—You say the servant saw me before 12; you
can't say I was there afterwards. I was seen this morning
by a constable, and pointed out to him, and then he said he
saw me leave the house at 5 o'clock.

Prosecutrix—A. latch-key was missed from the kitchen
dresser, but afterwards, when the robbery was discovered,
the key was found.

Sergeant Joy, 9 C—Yesterday morning, from information
I received, I took the prisoner into custody at Luton, Bed-
fordfordshire, where he was detained by the police. I told
him I was a police sergeant, and that he was charged with
stealing a quantity of jewellery, at 6, Boyle-street, Saville-
row, At first he made ne reply, but afterwards said, " I
know all about it. If I had not been confined here I should
have been able to get the whole of the jewellery back for
my sister." He also said he was detained there to find the
female who had the whole of the property, and that the
female lived at 2, Queen-street, Borough, but that she had
gone away with the whole of the property. I have made
inquiries, and ascertained that he has been living with the
female in Queen-street, but that she had gone away. I
wish for a remand, that I may have the servant here to show
that the prisoner was in the house.

Prisoner—Once before, because I am a litile racketty,
they said I had tried to get into the house, while I had not
been near it for two months.
Remanded.

MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT AT
CHIPPENHAIII.

On Tuesday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, an
accident attended with fatal consequences occurred
on the river Avon at Chippenham. Some time
during that evening the Misses Awdry, accom-
panied by their brother, Mr. West Steward Awdry
(second son of West Awdry, Esq., the respected
under-sheriff of Wilts, and cousin of Sir John Aw-
dry), the Misses Lowther, of Derry Hill, near Chip -
penham, and the younger members of Mr. W.
Awdry's family, went out for an aquatic excursion
near Monckton House, which stands by the side of
the river. One of the boats was a large one, and
contained four persons, and the other a smaller one,
contained the Misses Lowther, and Mr. W. S.
Awdry. The boats proceeded quietly along till
they came to the piece of dead water above the
Chippenham Grist Mill, when the large boat was
turned round, and unfortunately came into collision
with the smaller one, capsizing it, and throwing its '
occupants into the river. The elder Miss Lowther
clung to 11Ir. Awdry, who made a desparate effort
to carry her ashore. Although a good swimmer,
so tightly did the young lady cling to him, that all
his attempts to save her and himself were unavailing,
and they both sank. The scene now became ter-
ribly painful. The heartrending cries of the young
ladies in the larger boat attracted the attention of
the son of the Rev. Mr. Clarke, who fortunately
happened to be near, and he boldly plunged into
the water, and rescued the younger Miss Lowther,
bringing her to land just as she was on the point
of sinking. By this time assistance was obtained,
and hooks and grappling irons procured to search
for the bodies of the two persons who had dis-
appeared ; but they were not recovered till 11
o'clock the same evening, when of course life was
extinct. Mr. West Awdry was absent at the Wilts
Quarter Sessions, at Warminster, and on the sad
intelligence being forwarded to him returned in
time to see the bodies taken out of the stream. The
deceased young geitleman was to have left home on
Monday next, for the purpose of taking a commis-
sion in the army. It is a singular coincidence that
the father of Miss Lowther was drowned in India
some time since. /ler mother is absent in London.
The deceased young lady and her sister were on a
visit to Mr. W. Awdry, at Monckton House.—Bath
Chronicle.

THIS DAY'S ALIBEETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was
very small ; nevertheless, the trade, generally, ruled slow,
only fine samples being in request, at Monday's currency.
All descriptions of foreign wheat changed hands to a
limited extent. In prices, however, no quotable change
took place. The show of samples was moderately ex-
tensive.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, and
khe quotations were supported.

Barley, however, met a dull sale at barely stationary
prices.
food and fine qualities of malt wore firm in price, but
other kinds were a dull inquiry.
Oats moved off heavily, at a decline of 6d per quarter for
inferior qualities.

Beans were a slow sale, and peas were in limited request,
at barely previous quotations.
Most kinds of flour were dealt in to a limited extent, on
former terms.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAIER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the following bills were fur-
ther considered :—Enniskillen and Bundoran Railway ;
Midland Railway (Otley and Ilkley Extension) ; New Ross
Port and Harbour ; North Eastern. Railway (Extension to
Otley, &c.) ; Parsonstown and Portumna Bridge Railway ;
and West Cheshire Railways.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
The Glasgow (City) Life Assurance, &c,, Company, the
Great North of Scotland Railway, and the South Essex
Water.

IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.

On clause 1.

Mr. LOCKE said the bill made an alteration which had
not been demanded throughout the country. It involved
the question whether the parishes in the metropolis, which
were materially interested in the proposed change, should
have their wishes attended to. He wished to have the area
of rating in the metropolis extended, in order that the whole
of them should form one union, and he proposed an amend-
ment by adding to the clause the words "and for that pur-
pose the area, subject to the provisions of the Metropolis
Local Management Acts, shall be a union." This would
constitute the metropolis a union in itself.

Mr. WARNER thought a great injustice would result
from the passing the first clause as it stood, but he did not
think the amendment would meet the difficulty. He ap-
proved of the bill as far as it mitigated the law of settle-
ment; but if any member would move the total omission of
the clause he should support him.
Mr. KNIGHT did not think that Norwich had much
reason to complain. The property-tax returns showed a
great increase for that city, while the rural parishes were
being enriched at its expense. He thought Norwich had
one of the strongest cases against the extension of the area
of rating.
Mr. DODGSON thought parochial rating was too nar-
row, but they might run into the opposite extreme. He
thought there might be a rating extending over
Bunch a district as derived a community of in-
terest. Many of the labourers worked in one parish
and resided in another, therefore, as he gave one
the benefit of his labour, and the other the expenditure of
his wages, when he became chargeable he thought both
should bear the burthen. H e approved of the bill as it
stood, and he hoped the amendment would be rejected.
Sir G. LEWIS said if they were to go on discussing this
bill on every point he should altogether despair of passing
it in the present session. The measure was one of great
importance, and its object was perfectly clear ; it had been
thoroughly investigated in committee, and the bill was
founded upon its report. The subject they were Row dis-
cussing was a totally distinct question from that embraced in
the bill. They were now engaged, in fact, in discussing the
subject of the equalisation of the rating of the metropolis.
He thought it would be wasting the time of the house if
they continued the present discussion.
Mr. BENTINCK thought the bill was one to relieve th•
urban at the expense of the rural population, and such
being its object he considered it most objectionable.
Sir G. LEWIS contended that the bill, so far from
being what was described by the hon. member who hadjuet
sat down, was one in favour of the landed interest and
against the urban parishes, but the charge was just, and
therefore the representatives of the towns did not object
to it.

Mr. HENLEY could not agree with the right hon.
baronet the Secretary for the Home Department that the
bill needed no further discussion. It was one in his
opinion that inflicted great injury on rural parishes, and he
should like to know how it would act. That it would act
with great capriciousness he was quite certain—(hear, hear)
--and he did not think they ought to be called upon to pro-
ceed with the bill until a statement had been laid before
Parliament, of all the parishes, showing how the measure
would work; but as they were going on at present, they
were working entirely in the dark. He thought if the
present measure were withdrawn for the session, Govern-
ment could obtain the necessary returns,• by which they
would be enabled to deal with the subject much more
efficiently next session.
Mr. VILLIERS could not consent to the proposal of the
hon. gentleman opposite. The bill had gone through a
second reading, and he thought it was very desirable that
it should as speedily as possible go through its other stages.
He thought the proposal of the hon. member for South-
wark highly objectionable.
Mr. BARROW thought the bill a very good one.
Mr. AYRTON was of opinion that the amendment of
his hon. and learned friend the member for Southwark was
most urgently required in the bill. If the Government had
not fully considered the subject, he thought it offered very
good ground of withdrawing the bill altogether during the
present session.
Mr. S. EST COURT thought the object of the hon
member for Southwark both impracticable and unjust. The
amendment he had moved was merely a preliminary one,
and as it was desirable that the other clauses should be con-
sidered, he hoped the honourable member would
withdraw it from further consideration, and bring up a
new and definite clause, embodying his proposition.
when they arrived at the proper part of the bill. He
thought the bill was grounded injustice, and therefore he
gave it his earnsst support.
Mr. WALTER hoped the hon. member would not press
his amendment to a division.

[LEFT SITTING.]

THE ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN

INDEPENDENCE.

Yesterday the Americans in London celebrated.
the 4th of July, the 85th anniversary of the De-
claration of Independence, by a breakfast at the
Royal Opera Colonnade Hotel, Charles-street,
Regent-street. About 100 Americans and several
Englishmen sat down, under the presidency of the
Rev. Dr. Patton, the popular Congregational
minister of New York.

Behind the chairman was a portrait of Washing-
ton, surrounded by the British and American
flags, very ingeniously associated. Most of the
Americans, and many of the Englishmen pre-
sent, wore a very elegant badge, bearing the
arms of the United States, very beautifully
interwoven on a ribbon of a superior quality, by
Mr. Slingsby, of Coventry. This specimen of the
productions of the looms of Coventry was greatly
admired ; and by none more than by the Americans
themselves, who admitted that, in all that relates
to elegance and beauty of workmanship, it sur-
passedanything they had previously seen.
The dejeuner having been disposed of,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Presi-
dent of the United States, maybe be endowed with
wisdom from on High, according to the perils of
his day. There were, he said, four principles
which lay at the basis of every regular Govern-
ment, and wherever they were allowed to have
their way, they were certain to work out the
liberty of the people; and if liberty did not
prevail in a country, the one or other of those
principles was wanting. The first of these prin-
L ciples was reverence towards God, the foundation
of all moral sentiment. This was symbolised by
the Church or the meeting-houses. The second was
universal intelligence, and its symbol was the
school-house. The third was the dignity of labour.
(Cheers.) Its symbol was the blacksmith's shop,
from which the blacksmith from his anvil rung
out a character for himself which would survive
when the dandy was forgotten. And the fourtk
was the majesty of the law, which used to be sym-
bolised by the whipping-post. Wherever these
four principles were in action, they were as
sure to cut their way to light and liberty as it
was certain there was a God on the throne of
heaven. (Cheers.) The reason why slavery
existed in the South was that the dignity of labour
was not respected there.
The sentiment having been duly honoured, Mr.
MORAN returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Queen of
England. May the blessings of God rest on her
and all that pertains to her."
This was acknowledged by the Rev. Dr. DAVIS.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The day we
celebrate the birthday of our nation. May all fu-
ture anniversaries be bright and cloudless.'
The response to this was the reading of the De-
claration of Independence.
Several other sentiments were duly honoured,
and the company separated, well satisfied with the
quiet and unostentatious display of their national
feeling.
