" age , who fined the situation of page in tha establish' !! .--- ! of Mr . English , So . 38 . _Cadogan-placc , was charged with attempting to commit suicide . Lucy Giles , the _housemaid , stated _thatabout eleven o ' clock that morning the _jirisoner went up to his room to dress _; as he had not con ' . e . l _. _y . vnat ona o ' clock , nor answered his bell , which had been run ; several times , witness went up to call him , talk _* vii .-: that he had fallen asleep .

The witness said that Lady Caroline Stewart , who resided next door , had made coin-• plaiut of the prisoner throwing things into her premises , and in consequence Mr . English , her master , had given hhn notice U > leave his service . This she _bslxved preyed upon his mind . The prisoner , with tears in his eyes , said lie had received notice to leave , liis character was lost , and he _lhoiu-Iil it better to die . Mr .

The prisoner went a far greater - way towards rsunn _**; himself by endeavouring to commit the heinous crime of suicide . The magistrate called for haul , and tlie prisoner was locked up till it is
forthcoming .
WORSHIP STREET . _Satubdat . _—FtEociocs Assault . —John Itodd , a cabdriver , stationed ia Worship-street , was to-day charged before Mr . I _' _roughura with the following gross assault npon one of fie police . The previous night the com ; plainant saw the _tU-fcadant in a very intoxicated state in the str « t , with a veiy good great coat over his arm and thinking that something was the matter , as the cabman was meanly dr . _? ssail , he asked permission to look at the coat The prisoner in a veiy indignant manner threw tbe coat on tlie _p-otvaa , and set-to to abuse the police in good
set terms . I he policeman being satisfied tliat the coat _T > dtmgedt , > tiie prisoner , was going away , when thc defendant followed hi . ii , called him every conceivable bad name ; tliis he _persisted in for nearly half an hour , when at last the complainant called in the assistance of another constable to t _.-. k = the defendant to the station . On the road there tlie defendant kicked and pinched iu a furious . naiuu-r . and attempted to put his thumb into the complaiaal ' s eye with tlie object of gouging it out ; the officer ' s face was scratched and bloody in consequence . The _charge luisg fully proved , the defendant was fined 10 s ., or one _inc-i-ili ia the liouse of Correction .
_WrJWESDAr . — Distcbbing a Remgioos Coxgbeganox . —Miss _Elizabetha Tabitha Toothe , an elderly maiden lady , _residing iu Grove-road , Stamford-hVd , attended on a summons _b-.-i ' . * re Mr .

In the interim , however , she agreed to shrr . a ivritt-a apology _retrat-ting certain offensive csprcssisus sue had used towards members of the congregation , aad having entered into a formal undertaking not _i- » repeat the annoyance , thc trustees were then
_induced to _fon-go further proceedings against her . The _defciid-ii _!* . however , had suliseijueutly on several occasions visile j the rhapel and conducted herself in such a manner a ; - _.-auscd the most serious _uunovancc aud inconveniene = is tlic _coujr *» 5 _atioii : and ultimatel y , on tllC momin ! of _ihd - " ill i .: _* t , she ]> rc £ t-u : v . l herself at the communioii tabi « v _.-hiut she minister _\« is in the act of administering the _s-urameut _, and addressed him iu such language as left ; i ( i _alteraative to tlie trustees than to adopt the present proceedings against her . On being called upon to answer ths charge , the defendant stated that her iatlier had been an intimate friend of tlie great John -Wesley , and she herself had been a member of the community for the last thirty years ; but that she had been subjected
to a system of annoyance and persecution on the part of certain members of the chapel , which had reduced her to a state of comparative indigence , and that on the morning : _i question , _jTieliag greatly aggrieved at the sacrament teing refused her , while other persons who were not _memixsrs © f tbe _canirregaaon had been permitted to receive Jtshe certaiuiy aid expostulate rather forcibly upon such treatment , ua wluch she was taken _ta the door by two of the trustees , and not only thrust out , but the iron gates were closed against her with such violence as to strike her on the back . —Mr . Uroughton , after explaining to tht defendant the sli-iiigent provisions of thc law in relation to sneh cases , _vrdcrc-1 her to put in hail to meet the charge at the _s-ess-hut , herself in £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 5 o _ranli .
_SOUTHWARD . _IntmSVAT . —AsSAVLT AUD ATTEMPT AT SbiCIDE . — William Martin , a young man of respectable family , was brought before Mr . Cottingham , charged with assaulting Margaret _Caiiey , and afterwards attempting to commit suicide at the police station . The complainant stated that she is landlady ofa house in the Waterloo-road , and that a female named Lucas lodges in her house , whom the defendant is in the habit of visiting ; that on the preceding night the complainant , being alarmed on hearing cries of "Murder * " proceeded up stairs to Lucas ' s room , and found her lying on the floor , and tlie defendant standing over her . lie seemed to be _highly excited , and as he had a knife iu his hand , she ( the complainant ) interfered , and remonstrated with _hiai ; but , instead of minding what she said , he treated her wiih much violence iu his attempt to turn her out of _thcTdom , dragging her by tlie hair , and
tearing her gown . - she called out for assistance ; bnt before a policeman arrived the defendant , with tlie poker , smashed the _< l « ur , and did other damage , until he was at _Ic-ntjtii taken iuto custody and conveyed to the station house . Thc ui & ndaiit did not seem to be intoxicated . A policeman slated that thc defendant accompanied him quietly to the station-hop * - ** - and he was _loc-ted up in one ofthe cells . About eleven o ' clock he was visited in the cell , when on opening thc door ho was found in thc act of strangling hin :-i ] f , for which purpose he had fastened one end ofa silk scarf round his neck , while the other end was linnly bound round one ofhis knees , and in this position lie was found , and must have effected his intention had Dot assistance arrived at the moment . It appeared Irom other _evCdeuca that tha prisoner was a thorough profligate , the bane ofhis parents' existence . Ifc was held to bail to keep tlie peace , and in tlie coarse ofthe afternoon was liberated , Ids lather having found the required
sureties . Peiday . _—Snocsisc _Cisci-jtstaxce . —Peter Christopher King was placed at the bar before Mr . Trail , charged with causing tlie death of James Anderson , in tlie employ of Messrs .

The deceased was knocked down by the force of the blow , and the back part ofhis head striking against the kerb-stone , he received a wound , from which the blood issued in great _quantities . lie was taken up immediately in a state of insensibility , and conveyed home . The witness added that both the prisoner and deceased appeared to have been drinkiug , aud the prisoner appeared to be in much trouble of mind after he found such serious injury had heen done , and he was the first to run to deceased ' s assistance , and life liim up off tiie ground . The blow did "nut _ajipsar to toi-B _b'sen a very severe one . The prisoner wa ; remanded till Mondav .

living , and taxed bim with having deceived her . He denieditstrongly _. bttttwodays afterwardshelefther _. and she never saw or heard of him until that day , when happening tobe in town with her son by her first and only lawf ul husband , she senthim on an errand to the London Dock , and he fell in with the prisoner , by accident , close to the gato of that estab lishment , and gave him into custody . Daring the short time he remained with her he made away with all her property , under a bill of sale , to the amount of £ 1000 , and left her penniless . The prisoner , in defence , said he certainly married Ann Smith , at the time she named , and she was the only lawful wife he had _Mring . His first wife died en tlie 30 th of April , 18 S 7 , and she was buried at tho Low Church . Wat-wick . He was remauded till Monday nest .
_Wedsesdai . —A Ferocious Assault . —A powerfullooking fellow named Stephen Barrett , appeared on an assault warrant , to answer the complaint of Mrs . Harriet M'Quillan , wife to the proprietor of the Blakeney ' s Head public-house , Shorter-street , _Wellclose-square . The complainant , who had her head bandaged up , appeared exceedingly weak . Mr . Felham attended for the prosecution . On Monday last the prisoner , who is a farrier by trade , went with some ofhis mates to the Blakeney's Head , and was drinking until half-past eight o ' clock . Seeing that they becaaie noisy and somewhat the worse for liquor , they were refused to be served with any more , npon which the prisoner swore he would serve himself , and jumped twice upon the bar , but was put back . He then went into the tap-room , but soon came back again ,
sajing he should get a gallon of beer or he'd have the counter up . Mrs . M'Quillan and her husband were then at the bar , and the prisoner , who wasoppositethem , flung a quart pewter pot which struck complainant on the forehead , just above the left eyebrow . The force of the Mow was in a slight degree broken by the pot first touching the bonnet of a person named Anne Badland , whom Mrs . M'Quillan was serving at the time . The bliod immediately spirted out , and complainant exclaimed , " I ' ve lost my eye ; " but Mrs . Badland said , " No , you are only blinded with the blood . " The prisoner then made his escape through the window . —Mrs . M'Quillan wished the magistrate to treat the case summarily , as all she wanted was that the prisoner would enter into sureties not to enter her house again . —Mr . _Felliam said this request was made under apprehension by his client , who dreaded violence from the prisoner ' s associates if he were committed . A person called on her on the previous night and advised
her not to appear against Barrett , as he was a desperate man , and would murder her . —Mr . Broderip said the castwas too serious a one to be dealt with summarily , as the law would protect her against any apprehended violence . —Theprisoner , in his defence or palliation , said he was so drunk at the time that he did not know what he was about , and he was now very sorry for it—Mr . Broderip told him his sorrow came too late . His drunken violence might hare hurried the complainant to an untimely grave . It was fortunate for the prisoner that the bonnet of tbe woman B . _td _' and had in some degree broken the force of the blow , and that the missile took effect upon the brow , and not nearer to the temple , or he might be standing at tlie bar to plead for his life . Drunkenness could not be received as au excuse for such violence , and theprisoner must put in bail , himself in £ 10 , and two sureties in £ 20 each , to appear and take his trial at the sessions . The requisite bail was put in in the course of the day .

+ _* _+ _****¦* _f _* _+ _**** _+ _~^^^^^*** _+ _*>*** _+ _*** _4 * S > » Seizure of an * Extensive Distillery . —On Wednesday afternoon a seizure of a large distillery was made hy several revenue officers in Hertford-place , Globe-road , Mile-end , andthe parties connected with the concern were at thc same time captured . In the rear of this distillery is an open field of considerable extent , and between this field and the rear of the houses in _llertlbrd-placc is a piece of ground containing three small dwelh _' ng-houses , sheds , boiler-house , steam-engine , and buildings , in which it appeal's illicit distillation has been carried on for thc last six months , and thc revenue defrauded to an enormous amount . Thc approach to the premises from _Hertford-nlace was bv a narrow covered _natkn-av . about
one hundred feet in _length , at thc end of which there is a door , with tho words " Carter and Sims" painted thereon , in large letters . There is another entrance tothepremisesfromthe field ; and a pair of large gates , 16 feet in width and 9 feet high , inclosed the premises in this direction , and the gates were only opened at intervals for thc ingress and egress of a horse and cavt , which was kept hy the fictitious firm of Carter and Sims , who professed to carry on the business of glue , size , and naptha makers . The workmen and their families inhabited thc dwelling-houses on the premises . In consequence of information , a Customhouse officer , named Coleby Atkinson Davis , applied to Mr . Broderip , at the Thames Police-court , for a search-warrant to cuter the premises , which was
immediately granted ; and having obtained the assistance of two excise-officers , named Cartwright and Wallace , and Thomas Forck , police-scrgcant 27 K , and Pierce , Stair , and Forsyth , constables of the same division , he repaired to the place . The police and one of the excise officers having been judiciously posted to prevent any of the parties making their escape , Davis and Cartwright obtained admission to the premises by stratagem , and found the distillery in full operation . They immediately captured four men , who gave the names of John Jones , John Watson , Thomas Welsh , and Edward Dickon , - who made a show of resistance ; on which Davis exhibited liis pistols - and having-opened the gates and admitted the police , thc men quietly
surrendered , and were immediately taken to the Thames Police-court , when Mr . Broderip , who was about to leave thc bench , directed that they should be detained . Davis informed tho magistrate that he had seized the largest illicit distillery he had ever seen in London , and an inspection of thc place fully bore out his statement . It appears that everything was conducted on a large scale . There were four stills and a lavgc rectifier in full operation , with fire _* - under the whole of them . Thc stills were working off strong spirits , and in a vat sunk in the ground the officers discovered upwards of four hundred gallons , and it was expected that as much more would be worked off from the stills during the night . The upper floor of the building contaius niae large vats , filled with upwards of 1 , 200 gallons of wash ; which , at the time the officers enteredwas in a state el
, fermentation , and tlie whole of which the officers intend to convert into spirits . The operations appear to have been conducted in a very scientific manner , and not like the ordinary private stills . There were gauges , hydrometers , and other instruments on thc premises , for the purpose of testing thc strength and quality of the spirits . The value of the stills , rectified spirits , and materials is upwards of three thousand pounds . It is an extraordinary fact , that some time ago Davis discovered a quantity of materials , a still , and a rectifier , but which were not fixed , on the premises of a gentleman at Islington . He was not empowered to seize them , bnt he managed to cut Ms name with a knife on some of the materials , and he found the same things , with the name still upon them , on the premises of the self-styled Carter and Sims .
_Snocioxo Occorrexce durixg a Bali , at White Coxduit HonsE . —On Wednesday morning , between one and two o ' clock , the following singular and shocking accident occurred at a ball at White Conduit House , whichfollowcd the dinner held there on Tuesday evening by the ratepayers of St . Pancras , in celebration ofthe fourteenth anniversary of thc passing ofthe Vestries Act . In order to gratify the wish of Commodore Sir Charles Napier , M . P ., who had signified his intention of being present , Mr . llipley , the conductor of the entertainment , had especially engaged the piper of the Earl of Aberdeen , and a number of Scotch friends , to perform the dances of their country . Thc whole party were magnificontly attired in the _nighland costume , and commenced by
dancing a Highland reel , in wliich the gallant Commodore took part , and danced with equal spirit to any of his juniors in years , amidst thc loud applause of the crowded assembly . The celebrated _"TullagorunT was next called for , and whilst performing someofthecxtraordinary steps requiring the development of great muscular power incident to tliat dance , a young man , named Warren , suddenly missed his _footing , and fell with his right arm nnder his body . The occurrence at first created a laugh , but from tlie fainting condition of _Ihe _^ dancer , it soon became evident that some serious injury had been sustained .
Sir Charles Napier was one of the first to run to Mr . Warren ' s assistance , and he was removed in an insensible condition tothe privateapartmentsof Mr . Rouse , and there seen by one . or two medical gentlemen , who were in the ball-room at the time . On examination , it was found that his right arm was broken in a frightful manner , and he was forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital where he received the necessary attention , and was then removed to his residence , in Chapel-street , Tottenham Court-road , where he now lies . The arm is so dreadfully shattered , that it is feared the entire loss of it will be the result .
Fatal Hailway Accioext . —Kexdal , _Wmixesdat , July 16 . —Two accidents occurred yesterday , in the neighbourhood of this town , on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway , one of wliich has proved fatal / and thc other will , in aU probability , terminate in the death of the unfortunate sufferers . In one of the cases , Peter Bragan , a native of Berkshire , a boy thirteen or fourteen-years ot age , who was . employed as waggon-driver at a part of the line near Jcnkin Crag , accidentally slipped while driving , aud fell across the rails , when his left leg was dreadfully mangled by the waggon , rendering amputation necessary . Hewas instantly removed
to his lodging in Kendal ( a distance of nearly two miles ) , where medical aid was proeuTcd ; but before the process of amputation was completed the unfortunate youth expired . The other accident occurred at Docker Garth , where two young men engaged in the excavation were suddenly buried beneath a quantity of loose soil . When dug out of thc mass they were found to be severely bruised by the weight of earth which covered them , but fortunately had no hone broken . They were immediately taken to a neighbouring house " , where medical assistance was promptly rendered . _ They arestilllingeringinagony , and their recovery is despaired of .

House Of Lords, Monday, July 14. The Que...
HOUSE OF LORDS , Monday , July 14 . The question of privilege gave rise to a discussion of some length . Mr . Harlow and his attorney appeared at the bar of the house , and stated that the ground of action against Mr . Baker was evidence he had given before a select committee of the House of Lords , which the plaintiff considered to have been both malicious and injurious to his character . The Loan Chanceij . ob then mo-ted that the action was a breach of the privileges of their lordships' house . After some discussion the motion was agreed to . It was then moved that Jfr . Harlow , tho plaintiff , and his attorney , be committed to the custody of the Black Bod , which was agreed to . The remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned .
Tuesdat , Jul y 15 . Lord Stanley announced that it was not his intention to proceed further with the Irish Tenants Compensation BiU this session . " rmviLEGE . " lord _BnouGBAx presented a petition from John nartow , now in custody , stating that since the publication of the report of the committee before which Mr . Baker gave evidence , the petitioner had suffered in his trade and character by the circulation of that report ; that proceedings in a criminal court were at that time pending iu relation to tlie matter to which Mr . Baker ' s testimony referred , and Mr . Baker was afterwards examined as a witness in tliose proceedings , but nzvcv attempted to prove what he had stated before the committee ; that the statement was false and untrue , and the pet ' . tioner trusted the liouse
would be graciously pleased to make some allowance for his feelings being so wounded ; that he would not have taken the present proceedings if lie had been aware of tlieir being a breach of privilege , and he had accordingly instructed his solicitor to withdraw the actien ; and tho petitioner humbly expressed his extreme regret at having committed a breach of privilege , and hoped the house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence he had so unintentionally committed . The noble and learned lord added , that it was impossible to express greater contrition for the grave and inexpiable offence of having resorted to the law of the land . It was not known by the petitioner to be a crime ; it was known only to Parliament ; it had never been promulgated in any law . He moved that John Harlow be discharged out of custody on payment of his fees—for so , he was sorry _, to say , it must be .
The Loan Chancellor , on the facts stated in the petition , was _wiUins _: to accede to the motion . As the noble and learned lord was not acting as counsel for this person , the latter must not be held answerable for what he had said . ( A laugh . ) Lord Campbell concurred in discharging the petitioner , as he had expressed his sorrow for committing a breach of privileges , which , however , were so notorious that he thought no man could be ignorant of them . It would be very harsh to make the petitioner responsible fov the sarcasms of thc noble and learned lord , which now were rather inopportune . The motion was agreed to ; and John Harlow-was then brought to the bar .
The Lobd Chancellor said , —You hare been guilty of a breach of the acknowledged privileges of this liouse , in bringing an aetion against Thomas Baker for words which he had spoken in the course of giving evidence before one of its committees . For that offence you have been committed to custody . You have presented a petition in which J'OU have _expressed contrition ; . and you have also stated thatyou have given orders to discontinue the action . Their lordships are disposed to deal lenientl y with you , and , therefore , it is ordered that you be discharged out of custody upon paying your fees . Mr . Harlow then withdrew .
Lord Brougham then said , that after the rebuke he had received from the junior law lord , who had therefore the zeal of a new recruit iu the ranks of the peers and the cause of their privileges , he would not fall into the fault again , lest he also should be committed . He had now a petition to present from Peter Taite Harbin , the attorney who brought the action . It stated , that before bringing it he submitted a case to counsel with the report of the committee ; that ia commencing proceedings he was wholly ignorant that he thereby committed a breach of privilege ; and he begged humbly to express his extreme regret that he had done so , and to state thathe had abandoned the proceedings , and hoped the house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence he had _unintentially committed . He ( Lord Brougham ) had to move that he be discharged on payment of his fees . The bouse would do well not to meddle with the learned counsel , though he was the adviser and accessory before tho fact .
The Loan Chancellor observed , that he did not know who it was ; but if his noble and learned friend chose to move he could do so . Lord _CajiruELL _$ hought quite enough had * 7 een done ( "Hear" from Lord Brougham ) , though nothing was to be regretted that had been done . From the zeal ef his noble and learned friend , he had no doubt ho would pay the fees both of the attorney and the tobacconist . ( A laugh . ) Lord Brougham felt he had done quite enough in keeping his gravity during the operation which had lately been performed . The motion being agreed to , Mr . Harbin was brought to the bar .
The Lord CnASCEiiLOU . —You havo boon taken into custody for » breach of the acknowledged privileges of this house . There are circumstances which would have led me to suppose thatyou had advisedly committed that offence , but I will not take upon myself to say that you have done so , because you state yourself that you did it in ignorance . You express your contrition for the offence , and that you arc about to proceed to discontinue the aetion . Under these circumstances their lordships are of opinion thatyou ought to he discharged upon paying your fees . Mr . Harbin withdrew .
Lord Campbell gave notice that early next session , unless the Government should do so , or some peer of greater weight than himself , "the junior law lord , " and almost the junior in their lordships' house ( a laugh ) , he would introduce a bill to enable either house , on an action being brought in violation of its privileges , to stay it , as was now done hi the case of actions brought for publishing papers under the orders of either house . Lord Brougham . —Then there is an end of the privilege ; that is quite clear . The Foreign Lotteries Bill then went through committee . *
The Earl of Clarendon then breught forward a motion relative to the construction placed by the Government on the treaties of this country with Spain , which construction had led tothe refusal to admit Spanish produce ou the footing of thatof the most favoured nations , while the same personal rights were accorded to Spanish subjects as those of the most favoured nations could lay claim to . Thc Earl of Aberdeen entered at great length into the spirit of the treaties with Spain , contending that we were not bound to treat Spanish produce on the same favourable terms as Spanish subjects _. The Earl of Badnob supported tho motion . The Earl of Clarendon replied ; after which Their lordships divided , aud the motion was negatived by a majority of 28 to U . The remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned :
TncRsnAY , Jul y 17 . Their lordships met at five o ' clock . The Constables _Tublic Works ( Ireland ) Bill , the Dog Stealing Bill , and the Drainage by Tenants for Life Bill , were severally read a third time and passed . On the motion of Lord Campbell , the Defamation and Libel Act Amendment BiU was read a third time and passed . TllC third reading Of the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill was then proposed and carried , and the house adjourned .
Friday , July 18 . Lord Beaumont rose to move , in compliance with the notice which he had given , that a humble address be presented to her Majesty that she would be pleased to lay before their lordships cettaiu papers and correspondence regarding the recent events in Syria . The object which he had in view in moving for these papers was that their lordships might have a continuation ofthe papers and correspondence wliich liad been furnished on the subject in 1841 , in order that they might be enabled to form a judgment of the important question of the Levant , which , for some time , threatened to involve Europe in war , and
wluch he feared still contained thc germ of future disturbance to the peace of Europe , and whieh had constantly been a cause of jealousy and _recrimnationbet ween England and France . The noble lord then referjed to the recent debate in the French chambers on the subject , and to the recent outrages between the Druses and Marouites , and concluded by moving for the papers referred to in his motion _. After a speech from the Earl of Aberdeen , the motion was agreed to . The Waste Laud ( Australia ) BiU and tho Field Gardens BiU were severally read a second time , Their Lordships then adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Mosdat . July 14 . The house met this day at twelve o ' clock , and before the five o ' clock sittings , had gone tlirough committee with the Lunatic Asylum ( Ireland ) Bill , which was ordered to be reported on Wednesday . In the evening sitting the Coal Trade ( Port of London ) BiU went through committee ; after which the house resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill , tho discussion of the clauses of which occupied nearly the whole of the remainder of the evening . Tuesday , Jul y 15 .
Lord _Paimeuston then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice , that an humble address be presented to her Majesty , stating that this house have taken into their consideration tho papers which , by her Majesty ' s gracious command , have lately been laid before thero , containing copies of a correspondence which has recently taken place between the Spanish minister at her Majesty ' s court and her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , on the subject of a claim made by the Spanish Government , in virtue of the treaties subsisting between the Crowns of Great Britain and of Spain ; and praying her Majesty to direct that the subjects of thc Queen of Spain should be permitted to import into the United Kingdom all the productions of the territories or possessions ofthe Spanish Crown , raying thereupon no higher duties of customs than arc paid by -the _subjects or

citizens of the most favoured nations on the importation of like articles , being " the production of the territories or possessions of such nations . ' The noble lord spoke at great lengthin support ofhis motion , which was opposed by Mr . Gladstone and others . After a lengthy discussion the house divided , and his motion was negatived by a majority of 175 to 87 . Wednesday , July 10 . The house met at 12 o ' clock . LUNATICS BILL . On fhe motion of Lord Asuley , that the house go into committee on- this bill , Mr . T . Duxcosibe presented a petition from a Mr . Walker , surgeon , of PentouvUle , against tho further progress of the Mil .
Mr . T . Duncombe then objected to going into com * mittee in the absence of the right hon . baronet tho Home Secretary . The hon . member was proceediug to make objections to the whole measure , when Sir J . Graham entered , and took his place , on which Mr . T . Doncombe said , that as the right hon . gentleman was present , he would not offer any objection to the Speaker ' s leaving the chair . The Speaker then left " the chair , and the house went Into committee _. On clause 5 ,
Mr . Warburton moved to omit all the words after the word " that , " for the purpose of inserting the following : — "Any superannuation allowance to be granted to any paid commissioner appointed , or to be appointed , under this act , shall be granted only as a compensation for services performed under this act , and shall be subject to the provisions of an act passed in the 4 th and 5 th of his late Majesty William IV ., in respect of suchofheevs and clerks as mig ht enter the public service after the 1 th day of August , 1829 . " Mr . S . Crawford said , he would object to _anysupei-. annuation allowance to any commissioner ; and he cordially joined in the hope more than once expressed by his hon . friend ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) , that the bill might be given up altogether . Mr . C . W . _Wtnn and Sir C . Napieb were in favour of granting a superannuation allowance . The amendment was then agreed to .
Mr . T . Doncombe then objected to the whole clause as amended , because he was hosi ile to the principle of superannuation , more particularly when , as was tho case in this bill , tlie commissioners had enormous salaries . Why were not superannuations given to inspectors of prisons ? He must take the sense of the committee on this clause , as he was disposed to do on many others of wliich he had given notice . He was driven to this course by the uoble lord and the right hon . baronet , who were anxious to force this biU tlirough " at such a time of the year and in such an attendance of members . , Would the right hon . baronet consent to let the commission be appointed for three years , that they might see how it worked ?
Sir J . Gbahasi said he was willing to meet the hon . member in a conciliatory spirit on many of his suggestions ; and he thought it better to go on with the committee , and discuss them as they rose * , hut he should deceive thc hon . gentleman if he held out any hope that he would consent to change the character of the commission from a permanent to a temporary nature . Mr . Wakley moved a proviso to the effect , that no person be appointed as a paid commissioner whose age should exceed forty-five years by six " months . After a short discussion , the proviso was negatived . The committee then divided on the clause . The nuin . berswere— - For the clause ... 13 Against it ... ... ... ... ... 3 Majority ... —10 The clause was then added to the bill . The other clauses up to clause 9 , exclusive , were passed without discussion .
On the 10 th clause ( for giving the secretary a pension ) , Mr . T . Duncombe would not consent to giving this officer a salary of £ 800 a year , and then after a few years to give him a retiring allowance , Mr . Waklev . fully concurred with his hon . colleague in entering : his strongest protest against sueh a wasteful expenditure of the public money , particularly when he recollected tho vote which the liouse had come to the other evening with respect to the able-bodied labourers in Scotland . Strangers were again ordered to withdraw , but no division took place , and the 10 th clause was agreed to .
Ou our return to the gaUcry we found the committee proceeding with several amendments , of wliich the hon . member ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) had given notice , which , having been for the greater part adopted , were ordered to be printed in the bill and brought up with the report . Tlic committee then went back to clause 11 , and proceeded with that and the remaining clauses , which , being gone through , with the omission of clause 113 ( which exempted Bethlehem Hospital from the operation ofthe bill ) , The house resumed , and the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next , at twelve o ' clock . drainage _( ieeland ) bill . On the motion of SivT . Framutle , the house went into committee on this bill , and the several clauses having been agreed to , the house resumed , and the report was ordered to bo received . VALUATION ( _13 ELAND ) BILL . Sir T . Fremantle moved that this biUbe committed .
Sir It . Ferguson objected to the bill at that advanced hour , when they would not havo sufficient time for going through more than a clause or two . He then moved that the house be counted , nnd tliere being only twentythree members present , the house adjourned , Thursday , July 1 * 7 . The liouse met at twelve o ' clock . The Highway Bates Bill was read a third time and passed ; as were also the Militia Ballots Suspension Bill , the Loan Societies Bill , the Turnpike Acts BUI , and the Unlawful Oaths ( Ireland ) Bill , COMMONS INOLOSUBE BILL , The Earl of Lincoln moved the third reading of this
Bill . Colonel Sibtiiorp protested against a Bill of this importance being proceeded with ia the hasto that marked its progress . He knew it was useless to contend against tiie determination of the Government , but it might at least have been proposed at that portion of the day when the house was fully attended , and not when the members were sure to be few . Mr . H . It . Yorke supported tho BiU , and believed it to be a very useful measure . _Mi-. Siiarman Crawford opposed the bill as an invasion of the rights of the poor . If , indeed , these commons had been inclosed , and the value of them formed into a fund for the benefit of the poor , there would have been some plea of justice for it , and some utiUty might have followed , but , as it was , it was evidently an attempt to increase the property of the rich . Thero was no evidence that out of
the 10 , 000 , 000 of acres of land any of it would be appropriated for recreation , or for allotments for the benefit of the poor . It should be considered that it was the very poorest portion ofthe poor who resorted to tho commons . It was not tho commons tbat made the people poor , but because those who had no other means resorted to the commons for support . With regard to the objection that these commons would be turned into potato-gardenswhat if such were the case ? It was better for these potato-gardens to be formed than that the independence aud spirit of the poor man should be broken down . He should contend that the lands , if taken at all , should become the sourceof a fund for the relief or enjoyment of the poor , for he believed it would be hard for them to be ejected from their allotments without recompense ; aud he should , therefore , divide the house on the motion being put that this bill do pass .
After speeches from Mr . E . B . Denison _/ nd the Earl of Lincoln , Mr . Siiauman Crawford said there was no distinct provision " for allotments , and he should therefore fcelit his duty to record his opposition to tlio hill , hy dividing thc liouse . Strangers were then ordered to withdraw , and the house divided , when there appeared—For the motion 13 Against it ... ... 0 Majority ... , —48 , The bill then passed .
LUNATICS _ASILUJIS AND PAUPER LUNATICS BILL , This biU was also read a third time , and passed . The sitting at halt-past four was suspended till five o ' clock , Tlic house resumed at five o ' clock . Sir B . Peel moved the second reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bcmoval Bi'l _, wliich had come down to the house sanctioned by the almost unanimous approbation of the Houso of Lords . The right lion , baronet addressed the house at great length , in ndvocacy of tho justice of the policy of removing these disabilities . Sir R . Inglis spoke in opposition to thc b'dl , and moved that it bo read that day six months . Mr , Flohftre seconded the amendment , contending that the house was bringing down the displeasure of the Most High by the measures they had passed , and were passing , during the last and the present session _.
Lord < J , _Kussell thought that the legislature in doing its utmost to remove religious strife and animosities was pursuing a course more likely to draw down the blessing , than to incur the displeasure , of the Most High , H * would give his hearty support to the bill . After some observations from Mr . M . Milnes , Mr . Trelawney _, and another hon . member , the houso divided , and the second reading was carried by a majority of 81 tool . The house then , went iv . to committee on the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill , the discussion of which occupied nearly the whole of the remainder ofthe evening . Friday , July 18 . The Small Debts ( No . 3 ) BiU was read a second time . PUNISHMENT OP OFFENDERS W STAFFOTiBSmRE .
Mr . T . Buncombe wished to ask the right lion , baronet whether he was prepared to lay on the table of the house the report of Mr . Robins , relative to the system pursued by a magistrate and certain constables in Staffordshire in respect to the punishment of Eliza Price ; and also whether , in addition to such report , he would also produce a copy of the correspondence between thc Government and the Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire upon the subject ? He had recently received a communication -from the same neighbourhood / where it appeared that the same kind of treatment had been pursued against two women under the warrant of a Mr . Briscoe . The deposition in respect to the latter prisoners , which had been laid before another magistrate , stated that they were two young girls—one onl y eleven years of age and the other fourteen . Tlie first was apprehended by a constable on the charge of stealing a halfpenny worth

This Statement was corroborated by another sister ofthe deponent . It appeared that Mr . Briscoe , before whom these two young girls were brought , had desired the constable to take them to his liouse , where they were confined for four days , and were both chained to the grate in the back kitchen , He ( Mr . Duncombe ) observed that this ap . peared to be a most monstrous case of cruelty , and that the constable , if found guilty ol having acted so to these voung _u'omen , should be made an example of , andthe most effectual means falcon to put an end to such a system that was alleged to prevailin the neig hbourhood of Mr .
Briscoe ' s magisterial authority . Sir J . Graham said he had not the least objection to produce the papers asked for , from which papers the honourable member for Finsbury would see that he had pointed the attention ofthe Lord Lieutenant to this practice of chaining prisoners upon mere night charges , which he stated was most reprehensible , and he had pointed out to the Lord Lieutenant the necessity of directing the magistrates ' attention to the subject with a view of inducing them to use tlieir influence to check this practice , which he was sorry to see had prevailed in that district . __ The conduct pursued in respect to the recent cases mentioned by the hon . member was also most unjustifiable . MILITARY PUNISBMENT AT WINDSOR .
Mv . Waklev said that pursuant to his notice he wished to ask the right hon . gentleman the Secretary at War a _question having reference to a report that had lately appeared in the Morning Chronicle , of a transaction which had occurred last Saturday , in connection with the 2 nd batalion of Coldstream Guards , at Windsor . By that statement it appeared that a whole company of soldiers wero ordered to strip themselves naked , for the purpose of being examined by the surgeon of the regiment , and iu consequence of two of the soldiers refusing to obey such an order , a court-martial was held upon the spot , and an order made that these soldiers should receive 100 lashes each , which was at once inflicted on them , the whole proceedings , including the court-martial and punishment , only occupy ing a period of two hours and a half .
Mr . Herbert replied , to the effeet that many of the soldiers being affected with a certain disease , the stripping was necessary to see who were diseased and who were not , to sepavate the parties , and prevent the infection spreading . That the two soldiers who were flogged persisting in disobeying the orders of their officers , the punishment was therefore necessary and justifiable . Mr . Waklet said nothing could be more indelicate or indecent , or more repulsive to a proper and correct feeling that should be encouraged among men , than for soldiers to be placed under the necessity of undergoing such an examination naked , in the presence of a large company of their comrades . He knew that it was highly dangerous to make this house a court of appeal on these occasions ; but when lie knew that in the House of Correction , in this metropolis , there were at present seventy soldiers confined , it was quite clear that there wns something wroag in the government of the army .

CniNESE WAR . _—TR 1 ZE MONET . Upon the order of the day being read for going into a committee of supply , Captain _Bebkelet moved the following amendment , " that this liouse will , upon the day of this instant July , resolve itself into a committee , forthe purpose of considering the propriety of an address to her Majesty , humbly requesting that she will be graciously pleased to take into consideration the claims for further pecuniary recompense of the officers , seamen , soldiers , and marines engaged in the operations against the Chinese empire , in the years 1810 , 1841 , and 1812 .

WITH SATURDAY'S NEWS , POLICE , LEGAL AND GENERAL . MANSION HOUSE . Saturday . —The Atrocious Poor Laws . — Samuel Richardson , aged G 8 years , a highly-respectable and very intelligent bootmaker , who had evidently seen better days , applied to the Lord Mayor to procure his lordship ' s intercession with the guardians of All Hallows the Great _, irosaid _, from his gnat , age hewas now nearly past labour , and was desirous of obtaining a little help in the shape of out-door relief . lie had been for upwards of twenty years a parishioner of All Hallows , and if his lordship would only intercede for him , he believed the law
gave him the power , in fact , to order such relief . His lordship referred to the Poor law Act , and read the clause bearing on the point , which appeared to be drawn up in such an inhuman-like spirit as to mock the better feelings of humanity . "There , " said his lordship , "you see it requires that 1 should bo personally acquainted with the fact that you are entirely unable to work ; now , I cannot say that of my personal knowledge I am aware of that . "—Applicant : " My great age . "" Well , I regret that the letter and spirit of the act is of such a nature that it does not permit of my interference , but if you will get up a memorial , signed by some of the respectable persons who are acquainted with you and your case , I will interfere for you and see what 1 can do . " The applicant thanked . his lordship and withdrew .
A _STAavmo Man . —Daniel Warner , a young man , who described himself as a bricklayer ' s labourer , was brought up in custody of policeman 451 , who deposed tbat at nine this morning he saw the prisoner break the shop window of Mr . AYrangle , baker , of _Caunon-stveet , when he took him into custody . —Theprisoner , in his defence , said he had been employed at Darlington as a bricklayer ' s la . bourer , but being out of employ he had walked to London in search of work , and had been starving about the streets for tho last fortnight , and from distress was driven to commit the offence . —H 13 loidship said he had no alternative , he must fine _himSDs _,, and if that wasnot paid he must go to Bridewell for two months , with hard labour .
MARYLEBONE . Saturday . —A Sharper _Cacgut . —Henry Martin , a _smarfly-dressed young man , who sported a large ring on his finger , was charged with attempting to pick pockets the previous night in Oxford-street . He was along with two others of doubtful character , and tlieir motions very soon attracted the attention of the police . At last they fixed upon an elderly gentleman , who was looking into a shop window , whose pocket the prisoner was trying to find his way into , when the constable stepped forward
and all the three culprits ran away . The constable pursued them , and took the prisoner into charge . Thc prisoner had a fine glossy head of hair , with large ringlets suspended from it , but when taken to the station , a very little exploration showed that it was all sham—that it was only a wig , whieh , when removed , presented unmistakable evidence of-the prisoner ' s intimate knowledge of the mysteries of the Penitentiary or the House of Correction . Tho prisoner denied the charge , but the attempt being proved , he was committed for ono month to the House of Correction .
MARLBOROUGH STREET . Saturday . —A Street Disturbance . —John Bennett , a ferocious looking excavator , was charged with being drunk and disorderly the previous night in Silver-street , and with threatening to lay violent hands on the police _, ne was found between two females , shouting and swearing in such a manner as to disturb the whole neighbourhood , many of the windows being thrown up to see what was the matter . On the constable stationed there going up to learn about what was wrong , the defendant began to swear at him in a most horrid manner , threatening " lie would take away his b— -y life . " He was about to strike the constable , when a second one came up to the rescue ,
and after some struggling the refractory excavator was safely lodged in the station . The prisoner , who spoke the most barbarous dialect of Cockayne , said ,. " vy yer vortship ye see I vos a going up the street ven the two vemen comes to me and _uxcb for a drop of gin , 1 stood a quartern in the nest public-house , for vich'I paidvorpence , but von the change vos laid down on the bar , yer vortship , von of the gals seized it and vent out to the street : I vpllows , and the other vollows me , ven a precious row took place between us about the tuppence . It was then the police came up , but I never threatened to vollop him , that I swears . " . The defendant , notwithstanding his eloquent defence , was fined 5 s .
QUEEN SQUARE . Saturday . — A Stock-broker in Trouble . — AI _sraartly-dressed young man , who gave his name as Hawkey , and who represented himself to be a stockbroker , residing at Croydon , was charged before Mr . Burrel with refusing to pay toll at Tauxhall bridge , and with assault- ing the toll-keeper . Mr . Tompkins stated that last evening , about half-past eight , the defendant , with two other gentlemen , in a sort of chaise , or cab , drove over the bridge in a very furious manner , without stopping to pay the usual toll , of which he is the collector . ' Seeing them drive on without stopping , he called out "Fourpence , "
to which they paid no heed . Seeing this , he told his assistant to try and stop the vehicle . He tried to do so , but failing , he jumped up , and pulled off the hat of ono of tho parties in the cab , which he took into the tollhouse . After they had driven through the bar they stopped , when the defendant came back and asked witness how he came to take his hat . He answered because they refused lo pay the toll ; and that he would keep it till the the money was paid . Thc defendant then called him a scoundrel , and struck him on the breast on which witness called a policeman , and gave him in charge .

The Pitmen's Movement.—A Public Meetiii"...
The Pitmen ' s Movement . —A public meetiii " ( called by placard ) was held on Tuesday ni ght oT the -pitmen of Springwcll , King and Fanny Pits Sheriff Hill , Washington , & c , at a place named Hunt ' s Hill , near _Wreckington . Mr . Wm . 11 am . mond , pitman , was called to thc chair , and opened the meeting by remarking that during all his life lie had been opposed to injustice , and wherever oppression raised its brazen front he would bo there to on . pose it . The pitmen , he said , were an oppressed body of men—their condition was becoming worse , and their wages less . He then went oil to defend the lecturers ofthe Miners' Association from the charge promulgated by a Durham paper of advocating an . other strike , wliich , lie alleged , was a vile falsehood .
and ought to be eontradictcd . lhey wanted no strikes , but they did want , and would strive with all might to obtain , justice . Mr . James Hardy next addressed the meeting , and entered into a long state _, ment in order to show the oppressions practised upon Miners , ' and the good the Union was effecting in tlic mining counties of England , Scotland , and Wales . Mr . Duro , from Derbyshire , spoke at considerable length on tho benefits of union and restriction of labour , and denied in strong terms the truth of tho statement that they wanted a strike , which should always , he said , bo the last resort , and should never be entered upon until every means were tried , and
then only with great caution and prudence . The Union , lie stated , had carried an advance of wages from 9 d , to 2 s ,, and this liad been effected by a reduction of from three to four hours' labour each day . Ile concluded by exhorting them to join thc Union . The last speaker was Mr . Daniels , Editor of tho Miners' Advocate . Thc meeting passed off with considerable enthusiasm , and , at the close , three cheers were given for the Union . Besides thc above , meetings of pitmen have been held during the week at Coxhoc , Shotley Bridge , & c ., die , and addresses delivered by Messrs . Swallow , Daniells , Duro , Price , Hardy , Asty , & c .
