A SSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK CIRC CllT.—liuntingdon, July 18.
At these Assizes there was only one case on the civil side,
and in this no question of general interest was involved.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON. )

THE QUEEN V. STANYON AND ASHBEIDGE.
The prisoners were indicted, together with Metre Seotney,
who Was absent on account of her accouchement, and one New-
ton, who had not been apprehended, for manslaughter, in caus-
ing the death of one Daniel Cox, by administering to him a
quantity of Epsom salts in beer.
sir. Prendergast conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Toz:r
the defence. _ _

It appeared that the deceased, Daniel Cox, was a person
greatly addicted to drink, especially when it could be procured
without money; he was a man of about sixty years of age,-
and debilitateu by his intemperate habits. Still he frequented
public-houses, annoying the guests by his entreaties for drink,
who, according to one of the witnesses, sometimes en-
deavoured to correct this propensity by giving the unfor-
tunate man portions of his beloved beverage into which
various disagreeable ingredients had been Infused. On
the 3d of Mac be went to the house of Mary Scotney, the
Cross Keys, at tlawtrey, All saints, about six o'clock in
the morning. He was then quite sober. He drank several
pints of beer, in some of which it is probable salts were in-
fused, as, according to the evidence 01 a very unwilling wit-
acts, Mary Scotney's servant, one or two ounces of salts had
been in the cupboard shortly before: the nay in question, which
were missing on the day, and the absence of which was not
otherwise accounted for. The prisoners Stanyon and Ash-
bridge came into the house in: the course of the morning, and
Stanyon left the house about II o'clock, and returned with two
ounces of salts ..,hich he had purchased at a neighbouring drug-
gist's. He, in Mary Scotney's presence, mixed each of these
in half a pint of Leer, and gave the infusion to the deceased,
who, after some demur at the nauseousness of the taste, drank
it up. He was soon afterwards taken very ill, and on the evening
of the next day d.ed. The medical evidence.ptoved that, al-
though the body of the deceased, upon inspection, appeared
greatly debilitated by age anti the irregular habits of his life,
the immediate cause of death was diarrhoea caused by the salts.
Under the direction of the Learned JundE the Jury ac-
quitted Ashbridge, anti found Stanyon Guilty, who, in conse-
quence, of the very high character he had borne, was sentenced
to be imprisoned for a fortnight only.
With this case concluded the assizes at. Huntingdon, and
the Learned Judges proceeded to Cambridge, where, in the
evening, the Commission was' opened. Here (at Cambridge)
there are about lb prisoners for trial, and the civil business is
likely to be heavy.

THE EARL OF ROSSLYN V. ATTOUN.

Their Lordships then proceeded to hear the further argu-
ments on this appeal, which had not concluded when we went
to press.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

BOOTH V. LIGHTFOOT.
The further arguments in this part-heard case were resumed,
and occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of Ergland the
whole day.

Knight 13ruee or Wigrarn during the whole day.

POLICE INTELLIG ENC E.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Nothing of any interest came before the Court this morning.

MARLBOROUGH•STREET.
(TIIIS DAY.)

Samuel Thirrnughs, an intelligent country lad, about 14
pars of age, _Harriet Bunce, a fine grown young woman,
about 18, but in a most wretched and filthy state, and Mary
Mears, aged 16 years, were charged as follows
Christmas, park constable, No. 5, stated that between five
and six o'clock this morning he found the prisoners sleeping at
the foot of a tree near the Magazine •barracks, Hyde-park ;
they were huddled up close together to keep themselves warm,
and were actually steaming with the dew that had fallen on
them. Witness, in pursuance of the orders which had
been given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, took
them into custody. He further stated that there were no less
than from 50 to 100 females, from the age of 10 to 60 years,
who nightly slept in the Park, and it was the determination of
the Comm►ss►oners, in consequence of the numerous complaints
that had been made to them by the surrounding inhabitants,
who were continually been shocked and annoyed by scenes of
the grossest indecency, to put a stop to it.
Burroughs said that he was an orphan, and not being able to
get any work at his native place in Gloucestershire, he had
come up to London about a month ago, and had since been
wandering about the streets, living how he could, and sleeping
at night in the Park..
The two girls said that they had no relatives or friends, and
were utterly destitute.
Mr. IlAnnwlcic said the nuisance must be abated, and as a
warning to others, he should cominit them all three for a month
each to Westminster Britlewell, to hard labour.
The Constable said the females had infested the Park for the
last five or six months.

Caroline Herries, rather a decently-dressed young woman,
was brought up by Police Constable 153, of the A division,
and charged with a similar offence, and was committed for six-
teen days.

LAW AND POLICE.

The first meeting of the second firm of " Acramans, Mor-
gan, and Co., the extensive ironmongers," took place yester-
day at the Commercial-rooms, Bristol, the Commissioners
being Messrs. Arthur P?lmer, jun., Joseph Grace Smith, and
William Tanner. After several debts had been proved, a
question arose as to a proof endeavoured to be established by
the Messrs. Lepper, of Belfast, cotton-merchants, who &night
to prove upon the estate for three bills, two of 500/. each, and
one of 6051. 125., which had been renewed and guaranteed by
them. The Court, after duly considering the circumstances
involved, decided that they could not admit the plod.
At Tullamore, King's County, on the 16th, Walter Wheela-
ban was convicted of the murder of his wife at Killen, on the
31st of May last. It appeared he had formed an attachment
for another woman, and on the unfortunate woman being missed
by her relatives, scaich was made, and the body was found in
a field near the house, which the husband had ploughed over
the day after the murder. lie was ordered for execution.
A lengthened investigation took place yesterday at Guildhall.
before Sir Peter Laurie, into the affairs of the Westminster
Loan and Investment Company. Several persons connected
with the Company were present, and one of them stated that
the case before the Magistrate had nothing to distinguish it
from the stoppage of any other bank. The further hearing.
was adjourned till Wednesday.

Mr. CRABTREE -saP, as one of a deputation from the
shopkeepers of Todmorden, he came to town for the pur-
pose of laying before the Government the awful state of
that district. He had had many opportunities of
mixing with the people, and he could state, from
his own knowledge, that employment was ra-
pidly diminishing, and the condition of the people
continually becoming worse. If nothing were dune
to alleviate the distresses of the people, the most dire
consequences might be expected in the ensuing winter.
He could not neglect to raise his voice in behalf of his
suffering townsmen. The following statement in
reference to the relief of the poor, afforded
some evidence of the increasing distress :—" Paid
poor in 1839, 470/. 7s. 10d., 105 families ; paid
poor in 1840, 5541. 9s. 11d., 177 families; paid poor in
1841, 883/. 65., 264 families."
Mr. MoottE asked of Mr. Crabtree if he could state
whether there was any actual decrease in the business
done by the shopkeepers ?

Mr. CRABTREE said, that from his own experience, he
should say that not half the business was done now
which had been done in former years. his own
trade was that of a grocer, and he would state to the
meeting that he now sold his goods in the very smallest
quantities—mucli smaller than at any former period.
Families which formerly purchased thirty pounds of
meal at a time, now came to him for a single pound,
he had frequently seen a pennyworth of bread cut
into seven or eight pieces for the famishing children.
The CHAIRMAN then read a circular issued by the
County Fire-office, to prove that the Sun-office was not
singular in the course which it had adopted. The Board
of Directors of that Company were alarmed at the- pre-
sent state of the country.
Mr. MooaE said that some offices had declined to in-
sure cotton-mills altogether, and others had raised the
rye of insurance,
tile meeting, had not concluded when we went to press.)

A representative of Russia lately said, " England and Russia
are like man and wife." It is known that in certain hyperbo-
rean regions the proof of affection which the weaker vessel re-
quires is—blows.
At a meeting of the merchants and manufacturers in the
Town-hall, Manchester, on Monday, the Chairman stated that
" the weak might go first ; but before we could see the snows
of winter•, at least three-parts of our whole manufactures must
come to a stand. 'They were narrowing every week. There
was not a manufactory of any description with which machinery
was connected, which was not worse and worse every Saturday
than the preceding."

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Lords did not meet yesterday.
Besides presenting petitions, making Reports, and ap-
pointing Election Committees, which are summarily re-
corded in our report, the Commons agreed to the Lords'
amendments in the Railway Bill. The Copyright of

In reply to Lord Palmerston, Sir Robert Peel stated
that the attempt to settle the North-western Boundary
dispute between Great Britain and the United States had
not yet led to a satisfactory result, and the negotiation

Medical Colleges. He also said that it was not his in
tention to bring forward any measure to improve the
health of towns.

Mr. Gladstone moved the second reading of the Bill
for allowing corn to be ground in bond, which the land-
lords opposed. In the debate which ensued, Mr. Roe-
buck made use of some strong language, describing cer-
tain Members as popinjays, and the landed interest as
animated by the most mean, pitiful, and personal mo-
tives, which i' not likely to increase the love between
him and the aristocracy. On a division, the second
reading was carried by 116 to 19.
Mr. Tutfnell, at the request of Sir James Graham, post-
poned the Buildings Regulations Bill till next session.
The Report on the Poor-law was brought up, and, after
a short debate and a division on an amendment moved by
Mr. Escott, it was received, and the Bill 'ordered to be
read a third time.

On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply,
Mr. T. Duncombe, alter some remarks, postponed his
motion, relative to the trial of Mason at Stafford, till the
next supply day. The House went, into Committee, and
voted several sums of money. The grant to Maynooth
was opposed by Pious Plumptree, and a few men of his
stamp, but it was carried. The House adjourned at
Half-past Two o'Clock.

GREENWICH -POLICE.

Tuesday Dennis Clement was placed at. the bar before
Mr. Jeremy on the charge of causing the death of Bridget
Holloway, a woman with whom he lived at a house in Smith's-
rents, Greenwich.
It appeared b) the evidence of Sophia Vincent, who lived in
an adjoining tenement, •that she heard cries of " murder !"
about six o'clock on the evening of Sunday, the 10th of July ;
that she had subsequently seen the deceased, who complained
that the prisoner Clement had given her a great beating, and
she was sure that he had given her "her death-blow." .
Thomas Oak Mitchell and Mr. Burridge, surgeons, gave
similar testimony to that which appeared on the first inquiry at
the Coroner's inquest—viz., that the fourth, fifth, and sixth
ribs had been fractured, and that. the pointed and jagged ends
of the fifth and sixth ribs had lacerated the left lung. which
had caused inflammation, which was the proximate cause of
the deceased's death, and which they had not the slightest
doubt had been done by violence.
Mr. JEREMY having cautioned the prisoner,
Clement said that he did not know anything of the injuries
the deceased had received ; that she had lived with kim as his
wife, and that he had always treated her well ; but she was in
the habit of getting drunk and falling about.
However it appeared that the prisoner wished to get a cer-
tificate from the Registrar of Deaths, and also from Dr.
Mitchell, which was prevented by the reports in circulation,
and Mr. JEREMY fully comr..itted Clement for trial at the
Central Criminal Court, notwithstandino• the summons
Mr. Carttar issued for the appearance of the prisoner on the
adjourned inquest.

MONEY-TRADE-COMINIERCE.

A great meeting was held on Tuesday at Coventry, in
the County-hall, by an immense number of working
men, when a petition was ordered to be presented to her
Majesty, apprising her that the country was on the eve
of convulsion, and that they had called on their own and
all other Liberal Members to stop the supplies.
On the preceding Friday a similar meeting, which took
into consideration the local distress of the place, was
held at Paisley, when eighty electors, traders, and others
attended.
On Monday also an important meeting of the bankers,
merchants, and manufacturers of Leeds was convened by
the Mayor, to take into consideration the distress existent
there, when a deputation was appointed to carry the re-
solutions into effcet. -
The whole of the collieries of Lord Vernon at Poyn-
ton, about two miles from Stockport, were closed on Mon-
day, and nearly 600 persons thrown out of employ.

-- ECCLZSIASTICATa.
The numbers of the Episcopalian ranks in Scotland
are daily increasing. There are no fewer than four
places in Scotland, in which halls are used as temporary
places of worship by newly-formed episcopal congrega-
tions, pr,paratory to the erection of permanent chapels—
Annan, Hamilton, Blairgowrie, and Helcnsburg.

of the stone galleries and balconies in two directions, are of an im-
posing character, and the Lawn and Pleasure Grounds, extending

A Kitchen-garden, wailed round, and all the offices that are essen-

MONEY-TRADE-COMMEILCE.

The Magistrates have been endeavouring to reconcile the
differences between the colliers and their masters in the Potte-
ries : the former body came on Tuesday to ultimate resolutions
that they would " agree to work nine hours for one day's work,
including one hour's cessation for food; for which labour they
should receive 4s. per day with burn-coal, and that each
master should pay in cash weekly." All the masters, except
his. Sparrow, and Mr. Forrester, the agent for Lord Gran-
ville, are ready to cede to these reasonable terms.
In September and October last year, while the people of this
country were perishing for want of food, a traveller in the
United States asserts that at New Orleans large quantities of
flour, pickled pork and beef, which had been brought from the
Mississippi valley for the purpose of being sold and exchanged
for manufactured goods, were piled on the quay, and became
tainted proviiions, owing to want of purchasers.
At a meeting of the merchants and bankers in the City, held
yesterday, at the London Tavern, to consider the distress of
the country, Mr. Ashworth produced a pound of sugar brought
over by a workman from New York, for which he paid three-
pence. He at the same time produced a pound of sugar of
similar quality, which he had purchased in Liverpool for eight-
pence. Exhibiting both, he merely said, "Do you under-
stand this."
London, England, 1842-07-21

men having been deposed by what they consider incom-
petent authority, have appealed to the Court of Session
against the judgments, and arc resolved, if necessary. to
carry the appeals to the House of Lords. The number
of ministers and elders thin implicated in these suits
cannot be less than two hundred, and the number of
patrons and heritors must be considerably more. The
public, therefore, may judge whether this Veto Act is
what its authors describe it--" a healing measure."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 20.
BONDED CORN BILL (No. 2).
(Continued from our Third Edition of last night.)

Mr. HUME said, whatever might be the motto or the
intention of the English landlord, the result would be
such as had been expressed by his Hon. Friend. He
believed the measure was a good one, and he hoped it
would pass. There ought not to be a voice raised against
this measure.
Colonel SIBTHORP would not waste the time of the
House by replying to the Hon. Member for Bath, and
the Hon. Member for Montrose. They were too con-
temptible.—(Laughter.) The grapes were sour. If
those Hon. Gentlemen had some of the acres which were
in the hands of the landed gentry, the treatment of the
manufacturers and labourers would be much worse than
it was now.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
House divided— _

For the second reading
Against it
Majority in favour of the second reading --97
The Bill was then read a second time.
DRAINAGE REGULATIONS BILL.

On our return to the gallery, we found •
Sir JAMES GRAHAM requesting the Hon. Member
for Devonport (Mr. Tuffnell) to postpone the further
progress of the Buildings Regulation Bill until the com-
mencement of the next session, when the Bill could be
brought forward in conjunction with the Drainage Bill,
under the responsibility of the Government. If the Hon.
Gentleman consented to postpone the Bill, he (Sir J.
Graham) believed, that so far from retarding the Bill, it
would materially advance it. If the Hon. Gentleman
consented to the postponement of the Bill, he (Sir J.
Graham) would do all in his power to advance it the next
session of Parliament.
Mr. BERNAL said, that before the Hon. Member re-
plied to the proposition, he wished to call the attention
of the House to that part of the Bill which gave the
power to town councils to fix certain fees. They all
knew that in town councils great difference of opinion
existed, and under the provisions of this Bill power
would be given to town councils to do very unpleasant
and injurious acts towards political opponents.
Mr. T. EGERTON agreed with the Hon. Gentleman
that this part of the Bill was objectionable. The ap-
pointment of surveyors by the councils would led to
great inconvenience.
Mr. TUFFNELL said, that after what had been stated
by the Right Hon. Baronet, he had no other course to
pursue but to postpone the Committee on the Bill, but
still he thougtit it was a little hard on the parties in-
terested, as airs Bill-was brought in with the object of
legislatipg for
.the poor in, large towns. If the Right
Hon. Bsxonet Would take-it up, he (Mr. Tuffnell) would
be most happy to leave the Bill in his hands, as it would
then have a better chance of success, and he should,
therefore, moy that the Bill be committed that day three
months.

ST .1 TISTICS.

At Bolton the destitution may be judged of from the circum-
stance that among a population of 1,( 00 families, consisting of
5,300 persons, there were only 1,553 beds, and only 466
blankets found among them ; being ten and a-half human
beings to each blanket, and only two chairs for every three
persons.
According to the present calculation of trades in France, a
Parisian can command any one of 1,587 physicians to attend
him, 568 architects ready to build on his plan, 843 wholesale
wine-merchants, 746 booksellers, 394 perfumers, 936 tailors,
341 glovers, 336 umbrella-makers, 495 butchers, and 106 bath•.
ing establishments, with a crowd of other administrants to his
comfort or luxury.

CLERKENWELL,-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas and John Farren were charged with violently as-
saulting police constable 275 N.
It appeared that, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the complainant
hearing a great noise in a public-house, hastened thither in order
to quell the disturbance. He found Thomas Farren somewhat
intoxicated and very riotous, he immediately took him into
custody. On his way to the station-house, at Thorney-bridge,
Islington, he broke from the policeman's gripe, ran behind him,
got his head between his legs, and threw the policeman right
on the top of his head. He then rushed on the constable before
he could recover the effects of the fall, and kicked and beat him
in a most violent manner. S 202, fortunately came up and
took him into custody. When they reached John-street, Pen-
tonville, the other prisoner, brother of the former, full on the
policeman, and attempted to rescue his brother, but failed in
doing so.
Mr. GREENWOOD sentenced Thomas to one month's impri-
sonment and hard labour, and John to one fortnight.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
William Jones, in a coarse canvas dress, was charged with
breaking a lamp, value 305., in front of St. George's workhouse.
Mr. Robinson, the master, stated that upwards of 200 persons
of both sexes applied for admission to sleep in the workhouse on
the preceding night, and all those that could be accommodated
were admitted. The defendant was one of those whom they
were compelled for want of room to refuse, upon which he took
up a stone and deliberately broke the large lamp over the gates.
He was then given into custody.
The defendant said that he came from Liverpool to look for
work or get a ship, but could get neither, and he was starving.
—He was committed for 14 days.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
IPSWICH.
The Committee appointed to try the merits of the last
Ipswich election met to-day at eleven o'clock. Mr. P. M.
Stewart in the chair.
Mr. Kingslake, Mr. C. Phillips, and Mr. D. Power were
Counsel for the petitioners, Mr. Gisborne and Mr. Moffatt,
the defeated candidates; and Mr. Austin and Mr. Talbot ap-
peared for the sitting Members, Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone.
Mr. KINOSLAKE opened the case on the part of the peti-
tioners as one of bribery and treating, and had not concluded
when our Evening Edition went to press.

ZVAXSCELLAZ77EOUS.

A speaker at a recent meeting observed, against those
who said machinery was the cause of distress, that he
sincerely deplored the system of the Luddites, which
would destroy machinery. Would it be wise to break
up the railroads, and go back to the pack-horse—to dis-
pense with all the splendid efforts of genius ? It was
false to say that machinery was the'cause of misery.
It was stated by a Chartist, at a recent meeting, to
show the inadequacy of Sir Robert Peel's begging•box
(the charity subscription) as a means of relief for the
people, that all they could get throughout England was
100,000/.. which would not procure food for one week
for the starving,.
The news of the melancholy death of the Duke of
Orleans was published nearly as early in London as in
Paris. the sad occurrence appearing simultaneous►y in
the Thursday's papers of both capitals—a proof of the
rapidity with which intelligence is conveyed from one
part of the world to the other.
By an Act of Parliament. dated 1664, and the 16th of
Charles the Second, the Cooks' Company, in the City of
London, are privileged from serving on juries ; It was
acted upon a day or two ago before Mr. Payne, the City
Coroner.

As M. Chausson, a cavalry captain on half-pay, was
