TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 29; lea

The Bonded Corn Bill was read a third time and passed.
TAXING INIASTERS COURT OF CHANCERY
(IRELAND) BILL.

Sir ROBERT FERGUSON hoped that this Bill would
not be pressed on at this late period of the session, con-
sidering the magnitude and importance of the measure.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland hoped the Hon.
Baronet would nut oppose the Bill, as a taxing officer for that
Court in Ireland was very much wanted.
Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE said he had to complain of
the very late period of the session at which this measure was
introduced.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said he should also protest against
Bills of this sort being introduced at so late a period of the
session, and, therefore, he would support his Hon. Friend in
his opposition to the Bill.
The question was then put, and the House agreed to go into
Committee on the Bill, which it did, and the Bill was read a
first time, and ordered to be committed on that day (Tuesday)
after which the Huuse resumed.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at Two o'clock.

THE COUNTY OF CAVAN PR"CLAIMED.
DUILIN, JULY 19.—The Dublin Gazette last night con-
tained the following proclamation, extending the provisions of
the Peace PreServation Act to the county of Cavan, which is
declared to be in a state of disturbance, and requiring an in-
creased establishment of police:—
" By the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland.
" A Proclamation.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD CI RC U Worcester, July 17.

Lord Denman opened the Commission for this county
on the 16th, with the usual formalities ; and Mr. Justice
Patteson arrived from Oxford late in the afternoon.
There are only three causes entered on the list, and none
of them to be tried by a special jury. The calendar con-
tains the names of forty-four prisoners, of whom six are
for housebreaking, to o for burglary, eleven for larceny,
three for unnatural off-nces, one for rape, two for man-
slaughter, one for embezzlement, one for forgery, four
for cutting and wounding, one for horsestealing, one for
sheepstealing, and three for robbery with violence.
Tnis morning their Lordships attended Divine service
at the cathedral, when the assize sermon was preached
by the Rev. Mr. Claughton. After leaving the cathedral
the judges proceeded to the County Hall, where, this
being by ancient custom the first county in the Oxford
circuit, Lord Denman. as the senior, presided in the
Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Patteson took his seat on
the Nisi Prins side. Nothing occurred in either Court
which is worthy of being reported.
BURGLARY AT ABBERLEY.—John Harris, 50, shoe-
maker, James Wood. 28, nailor, and Joseph Bingham,
35, nailor, were indicted for having broken into the
houie of Sarah Couudley, at Abberley, on the 4th of
December, and stolen fourteen sovereigns, eight crown
pieces, eighty shillings, and forty sixpences, her pro-
perty.
Mrs. Coundley deposed—l live at Abberley, and am
a widow ; I occupy a cottage which is my own pro-
perty. en the night of the 4th of December I went to
bed between eight and nine, having locked the door and
made the windows safe. In the night, about midnight,
I heard some one in the house, and I called out " John,"

thinking I should frighten them. Two persons then
came to my room ; Wood and Bingham are the men.
One of them said, " You called me ; I am John, sad I
am come." I said, " Well, my dear, what brings you
here, and what be ya come after." "We be come after
yar body," said be. " Well, what do ya want with my
body." " Oh, the doctor wants yar body, and we must
take you to him." I said " Well, give me time to pray
for my soul." They said " Pray away." They then
asked me if I had any money, and then began plunder-
ing a box by my bedside, which I had pointed out to
them ; there was some money in a linen bag, and one of
them asked me if there was any more, and I said there
was, and he took that away also. They then said " The
place is your own," and I told him we had paid for it by
our own hard labour. The tall one then went down ;
I conld see their facts well enough by the candle they
had. What they meant about her body was, as they
said, the doctor of Wolverhampton had offered 501. for
her body, and if they could not find that amount there
they must take my body to him. They also spoke of a
rope in the house, and threatened to hang me. When
they were gone, I missed my purse-bay and 8/. in silver
and 14/. in gold. I found a cap in the kitchen next
morning, and a small iron bar in the scullery. The
window had been taken out, and the door unlocked from
inside. My boxes were broken open, and the things
were about ; the wicket Has thrown off ,the hinges. I
keep a cow.

Cross-examined by Mr. YARDLEY--I cannot say
exactly when I went to bed. I had a clock in the house.
I had been asleep before I was disturbed, but can't tell
how much time had elap.ed. I had never seen the men
before ; and when I saw them afterwards they were in
the hands of the police. Harris was then brought to
me, but I did not know him, as I had never seen him.
I was not frightened when the men came in my room. I
was never alarmed in my life. I was ready to die. My
protector was above. They were there a considerable
time.

" three months" for it, or have to pay MI. or SL, which
he did not mind. •

The jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict
of Not Guilty.
Nothing of present interest occurred in the Nisi Prius
Court, where Mr. Justice Patteson presided to-day, and
assisted in trying prisoners.
The business of the flattest assize known at Worcester
for 25 years terminated at two o'clock this afternoon.
Stafford, July 19.
The Learned Judges have arrived here, and the com-
mission having been opened, busint--ss will commence at
nine o'clock on Monday morning. From the number of
venire returned, it seems probable that there will be a
tolerable amount of civil business ; and the calendar is
decidedly heavy, there 13,ing already seventy-four pri-
soners for trial.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT—Cumin idye, July 19.
The commission for this county was opened yesterday.
by Mr. Sergeant Bytes, in the absence of the Learned
Judges, who did not reach Cambridge till a late hour of
the night.
Their Lordships havii g attended Divine service in St.
Mary's Church, opened their respective courts at eleven.
The cause list is a very sorry affair indeed, containing
only four common jury cases, which may truly be said
to be of no possible interest to any one save the parties
therein concerned, and were speedily disposed of.
The calendar is also very insignificant both in the
number of prisoners and the character of the offences
imputed to them.
(Before Mr. Justices WILLIAMS.)
Joseph Mills and James Filly, both aged 21, were in-
dicted for having burglariously entered the dwelling-
ho'sse of Thomas Wells, and stolen therefrom a number
of articles, on the night of the 10th of June last.

Mr. Burcham was counsel for the prosecution, Mr.
Naylor defended the prisoners.
The prosecutor is a a tradesman dealing in " sundries,'
at a village about three miles from Haverill, and it ap-
peared that the inmates of his residence were roused in

the middle of the night with the alarm of " thieves." On
looking out of his window the prosecutor espied three
men making off across his garden into the fields with
large bundles, evidently containing plui,der. Shouting
out for help, he immediately gave chase, but could not
come up with the burglars, though he trac,d them for
several fields by the dropping of cigars, caps, candles,
and other articles, some of which he was enabled to
identify as his property. At break of day the constables
when set on the track discovered several cigars on the
road to Haverill, one of which was lying just against the
abode of one Betty Banks, an ancient dame, who ac-
commodates lodgers and travellers at very small charges
for a night's rest. Without hesitation, the back yard of
this abode was entered, and in a detached room were
found the two prisoners half dressed, and sound asleep.
On being roused to a state of consciousness, Mills said to
Filby, " My eyes, if we ha'nt made a tine job of this at
any rate ;" and well he might, for underneath the bed
on which they laid were discovered a box of cigars cor-
responding with those lost by the prosecutor, and other
property, which was recognised by him as his property.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case to
the jury, both the prisoners were found Guilty of the
charge imputed to them.

Joseph Mills having been previously. convicted of fe-
lony, was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, and
Filby to twelve months' imprisimment.
VIOLATION OF A CHILD.—John Hall, aged 20, a com-
plete " clodhopper," was charged with a felonious assault
onLetty Meade.

MARKET N vi-:„4-(YlilTERDAY.)

CORN EXCH.A.NGZ.
The past week's arrivals of English Grain and Flour Irr,ree
on a very moderate scale, while those from Scotland Is:est,
extremely limited. Of Irish and Foreign Oats the receipts
were unusually large, amounting to upwards of 60,000 6111 r/
ters. Other articles came slowly to hand. Fresh up, .4
little English Wheat was received, either coastwise or .utit
land carriage; hence the stands were poorly supplied wee
samples a both red and white. The accounts respecting,

Wheat of home produce was active at an advance on i.,b
Monday's quotations of from is to 2s per quarter, and at to,-,f,
nearly the whole of the parcels offering were dispose's. ed
The show of free Foreign Wheat was small. Holders reins!,er
very firm, and would not sell except at is to 2s per goers,.
more money. That advance, however, was not generally et
plied with. For Wheat, under lock, there was more inqubSr;
at extreme rates. Scarcely any English Barley !res. e
show, while the supply of Foreign was limited. Grinds%
parcels were held at more money, but other kinds were
slow inquiry. The Malt trade was in a very sluggish large
yet we can notice no alteration in value. Owing to the
supply of Oats, the Oat trade was heavy, at a decline off.;
per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour went off at very
prices.

SMITHFIELD. for
A very large importation of live stock from abroad 18,
our market has taken place during the past week, the Cs
iB,
steamer havingarrived from Hamburgh with 29 OOP;
while the Ocean, Columbine, and Batavier have been is
ported from Rotterdam, with 140 Cows, 90 Oxen, and U
Calves. At Hull 190 Oxen and Cows, and at SouthaMPto
~,
12 Oxen have come to hand—the former from Rotterdil,
the latter from Spain. In to-day's market we had on If
130 Oxen and Cows from the above quarters. General)
speaking, the supply was of full average quality;
scarcely any of the Cows were in any way out of condit:','es,
Nearly the whole were disposed of at somewhat drooping PriAt is.
The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our various grazin,""re
tricts, were, on the whole, moderately good. Although here
were many most useful animals amongst them, their gene7e.
quality was not to say first rate. Owing, in some measulei
