      bi . den to have his horse in the churca yard , put in two cows" ] . He would take the whole of Ihe episcopal and capitular property , and pay the clergy proper in -ome . s—net less than £ 200 , and not more tnaii £ 5011 or £ 000 . If these abuses were reformed , and not till then , the church would be made efficient aud a blessing to the community . Air . Mourns defended the Bishop " of St . David ' s against the attack of Sir B . Hall . " Mr . A . B Horr . said , what was wanted was not the indiscriminate division of parishes , but more Cieraymen and more services for the poor . Hear , bear . ) Anxious as be was for church extension upon a r ' uht principle , he felt objections to the timid expedient contained in this motion , which he hoped would no * , he \« vesie « l to a division . Bear , hear . )

      Sir ( j . Gre y said , before the house agreed to this address , it was necess try to consider to what specific measures it was to lead . ( Hear , hear . ) Admitting the existence of sp iritual destitution , was it in ihe power of parliament to provide a r < - ! ncdv ? It was verv desirable that church property should be made " as much as possible available f « r this o ject ; but whit could parliament do beyond what had been done ? The Boclesiastical Commission bad been appointed with the very view of rendering chun-. h property raoru available tor the spiritual wanta of the people , and this object bad bwii followed up by Sir It . Peel ' s Act . The result had been a' : « mer . t * itioii 3 represented by a capital sum of £ 1 , 4 ') 0 , ii 0 O . A commission had also been v-cmly appointed to consider a mode of subdividing large parishes , and another to inquire into episcopal ami capitular revenues . If the object of the address was to pledge the house to adopt the rccomiwtidatioti of the " commissioners to sell the

      Chancellor s iivtn £ * s—to which he saw objectionsthis oi'ji-ct should be distinctly stated , lie agreed with Mr . Hope that the building of churches was not the most important end ; more clergymen , and an agency distinct from the parochial clergy , were of more importance , and the latter object did not require legislative aid . ( Hear , hear . ) Agreeing with tho ultimate object of the motion , but believing that to adopt this address would lead to erroneous views of the feelings of the house , he proposed to wove the previous question . ( Bear . ) Mr . S . Herbeiit regretted the determination of Sir G . Grey . He defended the recommendation of

      the Commissioners to sell the Chancellor s livings , which were not Crown patronage . He should he glad , he said , to see tue .-e livings sold , and the patronage dispersed throughout the country . He supported the motion on the ground tbat there was a great aud lamentable deficiency of religious instruction in En-iland , and because he thought the measure it proposed sufficiently specific as a remedy for the evil . ( Ili-ar . ) Sir U . IsoLid replied to Sir B . Hall , whom he accused of introducing a topic extraneous to the discussion , and castinsr obloquy upon individuals . Wuii regard ro the motion , he hoped the house -would pause before it committed itself to a proposition which would alienate its patronage from the € rown , and perpetrate a legalised spoliation of capitular revenues . ( Hear . ) After a few observation by Mr . Ai-COCK , upon the Subject of Chancellor ' s livings ,

      Mr . Goclbcrn recommended that the motion should not be pressed to a division . He complained of the statements of Sir B . Hall , who , he said , had gone back to cases of abuse under an intecedent state of the law , which had since been reformed—a proceeding calculated to excite angry and unjust feelings towards tbe Church of which he was a member . ( Hear . ) Mr . Goulburn , at some length , defended the prelates who had been the subjects of Sir Benjamin ' s strictures . Mr . UonsMoi said , it could not be denied , that -with the most richly endowed Church in the world , possessing a revenue of nearly £ 5 000 , 000 a year , we had a spiritual destitution most deplorable .

      ( Hear , hear . ) As there were sufficient resources in the Church to remedv this evil , why was it not remedied ? Sir B . Hall had stated the reason—the mat-administration and bad distribution of the Church funds . ( Hear , hear . ) That all Church abuses were not bygone transactions he would show , he said , by the case of ihe llorfield estate , in the diocese of Gloucester ; and , after giving the details , he asked -whether such a transaction as the rcnewalofth . lt lease , would be permitted in any public department ? The time , he added , was approaching when we must have a reformed episcopate , or none at all—a reformed Church Establishment , or no Establishment at all . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Wigkam protested against the injustice of bringing these charges against individuals without notice , and which tended to draw the house into a collateral discussion . ( Hear , bear . ) If Lord Blandford did not think his object was sufficiently answered by the opinions elicited by his motion he should vote with him . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Booker urged tho house to suspend its opinion respecting the Bishop of Gloucester , whose character afforded a strong presumption against tbe charge preferred by Mr . Horsman . Mr . HcME having withdrawn his amendment , Sir G . Gret said , upon the distinct understanding that the motion did not pledge the house to favour the scheme of selling tbe Chancellor ' s livings —that it merely expressed an opinion that it was desirable to adopt all practicable means to remedy spiritual destitution , he should not press the previous question . The original motion was therefore agreed to .

      Sir De Lacy Evass moved for leave to bring in a bill to reduce the duty on carriaces , of which he proposed to make three classes , subject to duties of £ 4 , £ ' 2 , and £ 1 respectively . The Cuaxcelloh of the Exchequer did not deny that some modification of this duty was desirable ; but be could not make a further sacrifice of revenue this year . The motion was withdrawn . Mr . Home move I an address praying her Majesty to direct that the prostrate granite obelisk at Alexandria , presented by the late Mebemit Ali to tbe British nation , be brought to England . The Chancellor of the Exchequer objected , and read an opinion of Sir G . Wilkinson , that it was unworthy the expense of removal . After a short discussion this motion was withdrawn . The other business having been disposed of , the Louse adjourned at half-pa ^ t twelve o ' clock .

      WEDNESDAY , Jult 2 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Ecclesiastical Resi-KESCES ( Irblaxd ) Bill . —On moving the second reading of this bill , Mr . Sawer explained the state of the existing law upon this subject and that of church endowment , its defects , aud the particulars in which he proposed to remedy them by this bill and another , ¦ which also stood for a second reading this day—the Churches and Chapels ( Ireland ) Bill . Both bills were read a second time , as well as the United Church of Ens-land and Ireland Bill .

      Pharmacy Bill . —Mr . J . Bell moved tbe second reading of this bill , the object of which he stated to be the " improvement of the qualifications of chemists , by establishing the principle that all who prepared medicine- and compounded prescriptions ought to be educated persons and pass an examination . This provision was the more necessary since chemistsanddruggists were gradually occupyingthe p lace vacate J by the apothecaries , who were becomiiur general practitioners , and the pharmaceutical chemi *> ts in this country were far behind the pharmaceutical bodies abroad . Voluntary action was insufficient for the purpose ; he cited the opinion of Sir A . Cooper , tbat an examination , to be effectual , must be enforced , and the bill avoided the error of the Apothecaries Bill , of imparting to the examination a medical as well as a pharmaceutical character .

      Mr . Hcmb , without undervaluing the advantage of examinations , opposed this bill , which would introduce another element of embarrassment into the general question . It was an attempt to establish a fourth medical body , a Pharmaceutical Company , and to invest tbat voluntary body with the power of authorising chemists to practice as apothecaries . Mr . Bernai supported the bill , which , he said , bad not met with tbe slightest opposition out of doors . The ignorance which prevailed in certain localities amongst persons who called themselves chemists—some of whom could not distinguish between oxalic acid and Epsom salts—placed life often in jeopardy . Mr . Heslet pointed out various practical difficulties which would be created bv this bill .

      Sir G . Gbet observed that this was a subject of a very complicated nature , which should be considered in connexion with that of general medical regulations . He concurred in Mr . Hume ' s objection to the creation of a monopoly in a voluntary loody , and with Mr . Henley ' s as to the difficulties in the way of devising .. accurate definitions . If Mr . Bell , however , would " consent to the bill being hereafter committed pro formS , and not ask the house to proceed further with it this session , be should not appose the second reading . Mr . Caudwell recommended Mr . Bell to accept this proposal , aud tbat gentleman consenting , the bill , with this understanding , was read a second time . i ™ m ! m ! a ° - aSe 8 } SeotIand ) Bill was abandoned by Mr M-wkenzie , after a discussion of the printnple of the measure , with reference to its re-introductton next session .

      The Bowes and Freemen ' s Parliamentary Franchise Bill pissed through committee The house then went into committee ' upon the County Courts Further Extension ( Compensations ) , when a resolution was agreed to ; and after-¦ wards resolved itself again in to committee upon the Medical Charities ( Ireland ) Bill , the details ol which occupied the remainder of the Bittint-.

      THURSDAY , Jult 3 . house of lords . —Mr . kobsrt owes .-¦ L < 0 rd Brocoham had a petition to present from a e celebrated man and a great public benefactor .

      Monday, Jtise So. Hi"$F U Fa °? ^Ords.-L...

      he meant Mr . Uobert Owen . That gentleman held pceuliav opivAon ? , but he was a great public benefactor , for he was the founder of infant schools . His petition was for facilities for bringing forward his scheme for the improvement of society , and he thought that the petitioner should ho afforded an opportunity of appearintr before a select committee of their lordships' house . The late illustrious Duke of Rent , the father of her Majesty , had been a patron of Mr . Owen ' s plan , and a man more relicious or more attached to the Church than his . late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent , it would be difficult to find . Of all men , Mr . Robert Owen was the most moderate , the most tolerant , and the most accessible to reason ; and he , therefore , hoped their lordships would give a . vespeetM heaviug to hia petition . He moved that the petition be read by the clerk at the table .

      Tho motion was agreed to ; and the petition , which was of considerable length , was read accordingly . The Marquis of Lansdowne thought it would be impossible that a select committee , appointed at this late period of the session , could enter satisfactoril y upon so large a subject . An animated conversation took place between Lord Brougham and the Lord Chancellor , with respect to the law reforms which had been under th < -. consideration of Parliament , the Lord Chancellor imputing rashness to Lord Brougham , and the latter noble lord imputing to the former that he wes almost "ui obstacle to vnwvsures of law reform . On the motion of Earl Grasville , the Patent Law Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed . Some other business was then despatched , and thoir lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Oath of Abjuration

      ( Jews ) Bill . —Lord Jons Russell moved the third reading of this bill , Sir It . Ixglis said ever since the first time when a bill on this unhappy subject was introduced , he had always regarded it as ono of the moat unfortunate measures which had been brought before Parliament . He looked upon it with the greatest abhorrence , and the strongest repugnance , aud he believed it was both uncalled for and undesired by tbe great mass of the people . On the present occasion , however , he should not call upon the house to divide , but would content himself with expressing once more his solemn objection to a measure which would have the effect of destroying the Christian character of tbe house . ( Bear ) .

      Lord . J . Russell thought it right to offer a few words in explanation to the observations of the Honourable Baronet the Member for the Uuiversity of Oxford . It was well known that a Jew was ready to swear to all that was contained in tbe oaths of allegiance and supremacy . Then came the question , was the oath of abjuration imposed in order that all Members who entered the house should declare themselves Christians ? JJow , he believed that neither those who proposed or who sup-joKed the oath of abjuration ever dreamt of its necessity on that ground . It was introduced solely for the purpose of making persons declare that they would bear allegiance to the family now on ihe throne , and not to the descendants of James the Second . To tbe conditions , therefore , of the

      oaths of allegiance , supremacy , and abjuration the Jew was ready to swear and subscribe ; but no doubt the words at the end of the last oath placed him in a position of difficulty , and precluded it being administered to him in that form . He , ( Lord John Russell ) however , could not but think that on this question the wishes of the people at large ought to be very much consulted , and especially electors of members of parliament . ( Hear , hear . ) Within tho last few days a second mcjiiber of the Jewish persuasion ha . il been elected as a representative for a borough by a majority of nearly 900 votes . ( Hear ) He was glad to see that the Honourable Alderman who had been thus elected had declared it as his intention not to come down and offer to take his seat until the other house of parliament had an opportunity of considering the present bill . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Lord J . Russell )

      was ready to meet the views of that other house of parliament in regard tothe sentiments which had been evinced upon one clause ofthe bill , and if neccessary to withdraw it . Utow that the House of Commons was about , for the jhird time , to declare that Jews have a right to sit in this house , he thought it was quite time that the House of Lords should consider what was due to the people . With regard to popular elections it struck him that the present state of the case gave Jews a most decided advantage as against Christians , because the Jew was able to hold himself out tothe voters as a persecu ted man , and one in whom was centred the principle of relig ious liberty . Be did not think that even if this bill passed , its effects would extend beyond admitting one or two Jews into parliament , and would certainly not give them any advantages over ChriS ' tians .

      Mr . Nbwdf . oate ( who was received with loud cries of " oh" ) said that he did not agree with the noble lord as to the effect which this question had upon popular elections ; an opinion never had been elicited from the people at a general election , As for the lato election at Greenwich there were exceptional circumstances which prevailed upon persons to vote for Mr . Salomons rather than Mr . Wire , apart from any political grounds . Mr . Wire had been an active supporter of Baron Rothschild , and had been very much employed by the Jewish community in his legal capacity , so that the electors of Greenwich had merely to choose between a Jewish barrister and his at *

      torney . Be rejoiced that the Right Hon . Baronet was not about to call upon the house to express any farther opinion upon this bill , because , in his opinion , Mr . Alderman Salomons , although he did not mean immediately to present himself , and had , nevertheless , been elected under a pledge to force himself into the house , in defiance of the law . Mr . Ho dgson was astonished that the noble lord , who announced himself as the champion of Protestantism , should come down to the house one night to propose a measure to defend Protestantism , and on tiie next push forward a Bill which was an insult to the feelings of the majority of Protestants in the country .

      Mr . Plumtre thought that after the division on the second reading of the Bill , which was only carried by a majority of twenty-five , it was not necessary to divide the house . Still he should take the final opportunity of entering his complete protest against the principle of tho measure . Mr . T . A Smith expressed his conviction that the division in favour ofthe Bill on the last stage would have been much larger had it not been brought on at such a late hour . He was quite ready to divide , and ho was sure that tbe majority would be a triumphant one . After a few words from Me . Heslet , The Bill was then read a third time and passed without a division . The bouse then went into committee upon the Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill , the clauses of which were agreed to , after much discussion .

      The order for going into committee upon the Woo >' s , Forests , & c ., Bill , gave rise to a debate of a very miscellaneous character , in the course of which Lord Seymour gave certain explanations with reference to tbe crown land revenues , and observed that one of the main objects of this bill was to facilitate the understanding of the complicated accounts of the office . Mr . Trelawxey , Sir W . Jollwfe , and Mr . Blue dwelt upon the bad management of this property . Mr . Heslet objected that this bill was not framed so as to fix direct responsibility anywhere , which was essential to the amendment ofthe system . The Chancellor of the Exchequer offered a general defence of the bill , after which the house went into committee upon its clauses .

      Upon reaching the fourth clause the chairman was ordered to report progress , and likewise an interruption caused in the Committee by the honourable member for Ennis ( the O'Gorman Mahon ) , who being called by tbe Speaker to apologise , declined to do so , but offered an explanation , which was considered by the Chairman to exculpate him from any intention to interrupt the proceedings of tbe Committee . The Schools Sites Act Amendment Bill , and the Loan Societies Bill were committed . The Highway Rates Bill , tbe Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill , and the Burgesses and Freemen ' s Parliamentary Franchise Bill were read a third time and passed . The other business having neen disposed of , the House adiourned at a quarter past one o ' clock .

      FRIDAY , July 4 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Smith-held Market Bill . —Lord Beat-wont moved that the standing orders be dispensed with in regard of the Smithfield Market Removal Bill , and the measure treated as a public bill . Lord Rbsssdals objected to the motion . Their lordships divided-Contents 77 Non-contents 22—55 Lord Beaumont then moved the second reading of the Purchase of Lands Facilitation ( Ireland ) Bill , The Lord Chancellor moved that tbe bill be read a second time that day six months . After some conversation this amendment was earned on a division b y 16 to 3 . The bill was consequently lost .

      The Surrey of Great Britain Bill and the Hainault Forest Bill were severally read a third time , and passed . Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to eieht o ' clock . b HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tub Ecclxsiastical t ^ * L waa read a third time i » fter a few words of protest by Mr . Reiroids .

      introduced upon tho motion of Sir F , Thesiger were reversed . Sir F . Thesiobr remarked that the noble lord , by retaining some of his amendments , had conceded the principle on which they were all founded , but now proposed io cut away others of the series , whereby a practical effect would be given to that principle . A lengthy discussion followed , and on a division being called for , nearly the whole of the Irish members withdrew in a body , amidst loud ironical cheers . The houso divided—For Lord J . Russell ' s amendment 120 Acainst 20 S--79 Lord 3 . HussfciA . then moved the omission of words g iving the initiation of proceedings into tho power of common informers , On a division this amendment was negatived by 175 votes to 124 .

      Another division immediatel y followed , on the question that the bill no now pass , when there appeared— Aves « ,, *< M * M . ii , i « ¦•*¦ , (¦ ,,.,,. livo Noes 46—217 On the question of title , Mr . Grattan moved as an amendment that the bill should be thus intituled , " An Act , to prevent the free exercise of tho Roman Catholic Religion in Ireland . " Sir J . Graham reiterated his disapprobation of the bill .

      Another discussion followed , after which the amendment was put and negatived without a divison , and the original title being affixed , the bill was ordered to be sent up to the House of Lords . The orders of the day were disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past eleven o ' clock .

      Copyright Meeting. On Tuesday Last, A Me...

      COPYRIGHT MEETING . On Tuesday last , a meeting of authors and publishers was held at the Hanover-square Rooms , to disapprove ( as the circular stated ) of the recent decision of Lord Campbell in the Court of Error , by which copyright of their works was granted to nonresident foreign authors . Most of the leading authors and publishers were present . Sir E . Bulwer Lytton was called to thechair , and adverted to the law ofthe case , from the Sth of Anne down to the present time , ar » uing that copyright had never vet been granted to foreign authors , as

      proved in the case of Voltaire , and that it ought not to he granted unless similar advantages were granted by the foreig ners . It was necessary the English author and publisher should be protected against tho foreign one . They might oppose his views on this question as protectionists , but he hoped political points would not be mooted . He did not agree with those who said , let this country do riglit , no matter what others do . It was our duty to protect our own subjects . What has caused the ruin of authorship * and of the literature of America ? Because English works were allowed to be printed there , and thus the American author was undersold , and had not a chance . , .

      Mr . Bonis , in a lengthened speech , detailed the origin and progress of the copyright law as already set forth in the pamp hlet published by him , and concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That ti-is meeting views with apprehension the recent decision of the Court of Error reversing the previous decision of the Court of Exchequer , and thereby declaring that foreign authors resident abroad are entitled to British copyright , although subjects of a state which declines to avail itself of the International Copyright Act . That such decision , if finally established , must prove extremely prejudicial to the interests of British literature in all its departments , whilst it removes a material inducement to the acceptance by foreign states of the International Copyright Act . " The Rev . Dr . Worthington seconded the motion , and illustrated the injury of piracy as evidenced in Italy , where , owing to tbat reason , literature was quite prostrate .

      Mr . Ernest Jones opposed the motion , in order to rescue the English literary world from the disgrace that would attach to it if that resolution passed . The arguments adduced in its favour were threefold , First , those based on law and precedent ; second , those founded on morality , ' third , those built upon self-interest . The first he begged the meeting to discard . There were law and precedent in favour of plenty of things in this country , which were a disgrace to the legislature that-inflicted , and to the people that allowed them . If laws were bad , although they had existed for a

      thousand years , that was a thousand reasons wherefore we should alter them . For what but this had they a living legislation in their lords and commons , sueb as they were ? For what but this had we the living legislature of the meeting now before him , and of the great public beyond those walls ? ( Cheers . ) The second class of arguments he had to combat were those based upon morality . The honourable baronet told them there was no morality in granting copyright to the foreign author , unless the foreign government granted it to ours . Where did the honourable member study moral ethics ?—in the same school in which he studied

      protection ? ( Cheers and laughter . ) His morality was—thieving is bad , but because you ' re a thief I'll remain one too ! ( Hear , hear , ) His morality was—I won t be a good boy one hour before you do ; and if you remain a rascal for ever I'll remain ono too . ( Cheers . ) His morality was—I won't commit a virtuous action until I receive a consideration for so doing . "With what face could we inveigh against piracy abroad , unless we put an end to piracy at home ? Morality , indeed \ All they had to consider was , is Lord Campbell ' s judgment right or wrong ? "What is the right of the foreign author ? If he prints libel or sedition in his books , is he liable to be prosecuted

      by the English law , and to suffer the penalties of the English . If so , they ought to grant him the protection of the British law as well , ( Cheers ) Those cheers told him there was still some morality in the literary world of England—some enlightenment that would prevent their being led by Protectionist baronets , and Free Trade cotton-lords . He now addressed himself to the third class of arguments , that of self interest . They were told by the honourable baronet , if we granted them copyright , our publishing trade and literature would be ruined . He ( Mr . Jones ) asked how ? "Would that prevent translations ? and did the great public read French , German , and Italian ? But the hon . baronet bad alluded to America . - he bad told them

      that American literature was destroyed because English authors had no copy right in America . According to that , English literature would be destroyed if American authors had no copyright in England . Lord Campbell ' s judgment granted them copyright : the honourable chairman asked them to condemn those judgments—so that the honourable gentleman was asking them to support tho very thing in England which he had just told them had ruined the literature of America . ( Great Cheering ) If the honourable baronet advocated the bad cause of protection no better than he advocated the resolution before the meeting , he did not think it had much chance of victory . ) Loud cheers . ) But they had been told it would be bad policy to grant others copyright , as we should

      aot then get it for ourselves . He ( Mr . Jones ) reminded them of an old adage , and there was much philosophy in some old proverbs : " Example is better than precept . " They might preaoh copyright to eternity , but unless they could show that they practised what they professed , they would find few supporters . Let them not sit on that platform as literary pharisees , eulogising copyright , and condemning the judge who enforces what they themselves have praised . ( Cheers . ) Let them set the example , before they dared to say : "Do thou likewise !'' —let them lead , if they meant other men to follow . The Rev . Dr . Worthington had told them that Italian literature lay low , because of piracyaye ! but it was piracy of another sort . The pirates were crowns and mitres . Italian literature lay low , because Gavazzi and Silvio Pellico were exiles , instead of being happy io their native land . It lay low , because Mazzini and Garibaldi were in America and England , instead of planting the tricolour

      of the Republic on the battlements of Rome ! ( Loud cheers . ) It lay low , because the fair field of Italian literature was defaced by the hard hoof of the Austrian hussar , —because it was trampled by the foot of the Gallic brigand—bec & use it was torn by the crosier of the anti-Christian Pope ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) Literature always perished where tyranny and priestcraft ruled . ( Cheers . ) The learned publisher had alluded to the fact that be could not sell his periodicals . I will tell you , said the speaker , why that is the ease . Ifc is because all your publications are a century behind the age . If you write for the people ( the many ) instead of the people ' s masters ( the few ) , your works would soon go off . Let us hear the hoarse whispers of democracy amid the rustling of your satin pages , and , my word for it , your works will lack no readers . Mr . Jones concluded by moving an amendment , approving of the judgments of Lord Campbell , as the best practical recognition of international copyright .

      Mr . Wilkes , the publisher , seconded the amendment , which was supported by Mr . Poggo , Mr . Hyde Clarke , Mr . Vizitelly , and opposed by Mr . Colburn , and Mr . Jeffreys . The original resolution waa carried amid cheers and hisses . Mr . Cbuikshank moved the formation of a committee . Mr . Henry Maths w moved , but subsequently withdrew an amendment . Mr . Cheard and Mr . Howitt moved an address on the subject to the House of Lords , and the meeting separated .

      MANSION-HOUSE . —Arson . —James Huggms . charged with bavins : set fire to h ' premises at No . 52 , Lime-s treet , was bronze up iu the custody of William Edmonds- - tor fiual examination . —James Bradley , the . Sreman , who gave testimony upon the first examination , was then called . The following was his additional statement : —I found under one of the trays in the cellar into which I went a little bit of stone . It was used to prop up one of the trays . I also found two elbows belonging to the funnel , which were produced here , and two sheets of brown paper on which there were seal impressions , some pieces of string on which were seal impressions , and a piece of wax candle in the block of wood . —William Kemp , who turned the block of wood , which

      was produced by the direction of the prisoner , said , in addition to the previous statement : The police officers called upon me on the subject of the fire , and I saw the prisoner after they had been with me . The conversation between the prisoner and me was as follows : —I said I called upon him to know what was the reason the policeman called on me respecting the blocks I bad turned for him . He said to me , 'Sav no more about it . " He then said , '' Have they been to Ladd ' s ? " ( the shop of the tradesman who made the funnel . ) I said ' * I was net aware . " He said , " It is likely to be the ruin of me . Don't say another word . "—Elizabeth Strong , wife of the person to whom the care of the premises , No . 52 , Lime-street , was entrusted , said : 1 have been two vears in the house in Lime-street on the 2 nd of May

      last , and was placed there by a gentleman of the name of Harvey . I do not know who the owner is , but I have heard that it belongs to Miss Hugsins . The Colonisation Assurance Corporation was hold there . It was held in the room in which Mr . Taylor ( a former witness in the case ) transacted business . Th <* prisoner was connected with that association , which has removed to the corner of St . Clement ' slane , King William-street ; and since that corporation left Lime-street , we have been left in the house to take care of it . I recollect that some doors and fixtures which were taken down on the 21 st of March were removed by Mr . Wood , on the 22 nd of the same month . I saw Mr . Iluggins at the house on the 21 st of March . He directed me to give him a light . It was iu the evening , and he was in the back room of

      the coffee shop . When I gave him the light I went up stairs to my own apartment . I think he was there about an hour and a half . The candle was an entire one when I gave it to him , and it was a great deal burnt when he returned it . His appearance was different then . He looked dir ' y and asked me for a towel and water , and a brush to brush his clothes . I was in the habit of looking into that cellar , the key of which was in the door . There was no hole in the wall of that cellar communicating with the cellar in which the burning took place , Up to that day . I have seen the cellar since , and there ia now a hole of communication in the wall between the two cellars . The door of the cellar next to that in which the burning took place was locked at nniht . I saw the bunch of keys in the prisoner ' s hands on that night , or on the

      Saturday night . The prisoner gave me one key off the huuch , I have not aeeu them since . 1 recollect the day of the fire . I saw the prisoner in the house at half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon of that day . He rang the bell and asked me for the key of Mr . Taylor ' s room , and I took it down , unlocked the door and left him there . He was there about an hour . He locked the door and brought up the key to me There is a staircase from the back of Mr . Taylor ' s room to the coffee shop . I heard the prisoner ' s voice at four o ' clock , or thereabouts . I went out at seven o ' clock in the evening with my husband to King William-street , to do the offices of the Colonisation Corporation . I have been discharged since that by the company . I returned about ten o ' clock , and found my husband outside the door . He told me that he

      and the policeman smelt fire . I smelt that something was burning , aud I went down into the other cellar and took up some ofthe sawdust that was in it and smelt it , and I thought then the smell proceeded from the drain , and I said so , and then went up stairs with my husband and had supper * . and on going up to bed at eleven I found the room smothered with smoke . I said , * ' Do not go that way , or you will be suffocated . " My husbaud then went off for the firemen , and 1 called the police . Mr . Huggins sent for me on Thursday morning to his office in Copthall Court . He said to me , ** Mrs . Strong , this is a sad affair . " I said , "It is , sir . He said , ¦ ' Can you account for it in any way % " 1 said , " No , sir . I know no one was in and out of the place except yourself . " He said , " What is your real opinion of it ?" I replied , "Whoever was guilty of laying that

      wretched plot , did not study my life or that of my husband . They had better come and murdered me in my bed than set fire to the house . " I then asked him why it was that the hole was then made in the wall , and why the door was kept locked for the last three months ? He said , " Perhaps it was made by the men when they were at work . " A great many gentlemen were present at the time , and I left very much excited . —Witnesses were then called who proved that the prisoner had effected insurances in the Globe and Phoenix Companies . Other evidence having been given , Mr . Bodkin offered no objection to the committal of the unfortunate gentleman for trial , and admitted that the case must be decided by another tribunal . The prisoner was accordingly committed to Newfiate for trial at the next Central Criminal Court Sessions .

      GUILDHALL . —Putrid Meat . —Mr . Bonsor , a meat salesman , of Newgate-market , appeared to answer the following complaint : — John Robert Pocklington , the inspector of the market , said he found two quarters and a leg of mutton in Mr . Bonsor ' s shop in a state of decomposition from tbe heat ofthe weather . Having received instructions to seize all meat that appeared in an unfit state for consumption , he frequently cautioned Mr . Bonsor against disposing of it before he had separated the lean from the fat , the latter being always sold to the melters ; but Mr . Bonsorinaisting he had a right by the Lord Mayor ' s permission to make the most of such meat as long as he did not sell it for human consumption , entirely disregarded these cautions , and he ( Mr . Pocklington ) was therefore obliged to

      seize the meat as he found it , and bring it under the notice ofthe magistrate . —Mr . Bonsor said that he sold the very best meat that came into the market , but that during this weather large quantities of meat , and frequently whole carcasses turned bad during the transit from the country to the London market . In consequence of this loss in hot weather , and that caused by the frequent seizure Of meat in sucfi a state , he and a number of salesmen by common consent last year , wont before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House , where an arrangement was proposed by Mr . Alderman Gibbs , and acceded to by all present , to the effect that all such meat should be first inspected by Mr , Pocklington , and then

      sent by the respective salesmen to the boilers . By this means they were able to sell the fat to the soap makers , tbe bones for agricultural purposes , and tbe lean for greaves for dogs . —Alderman Hunter said he was perfectly satisfied that Mr , Bonsor bad no wish to palm upon the public decomposed animal food , and he would therefore dismiss tbe case . At the same time he thought it would be advisable f hat some arrangement similar to that agreed upon before Mr . Alderman Gibbs should be made and adhered to by all parties . —It was then arranged that the meat should be condemned , but to be applied in the manner directed b y Mr . Alderman Gibbs , and that plan to be continued during the hot

      wPJif hfil * HAMMERSMITH . — Caution to Cabmen . — William Dyson , a cab-driver , was summoned for refusing to convey a person desiring to hire his cab , at the legal fare . —Mr . H Lancaster , of Grosvenorpark-road , said he was desirous on the 25 th , at Brompton , of hiring the defendant ' s cab , and tendered him the right fare , which defendant refused , and demanded more . —Fined ten-shillings , and sixshillings costs . WANDSWORTH . —CRuitMr . —Mr . John M'Donough , of Park-terrace , Clapham , surgeon and medical officer to the parish of Clapham , was fined forty-shillings for acts of gross cruelty to a horse .

      CLEURBNYfELL . —Chabob of Arson . —Emma Pennington , a young woman , was charged by Mr . Charles Wood , of 19 , Golden-terrace , Islington , with having wilfully set fire to his dwelling-house . —The prosecutor deposed that on Sunday evening last , about six o ' clock , he left his home with his family to attend divine service , leaving the prisoner and a gentleman lodger in the house . On the return of witness , he found that a fire had taken place and destroyed considerable property , and being informed tbat strong suspicions were entertained respecting the origin , he made an investigation , and suspected the accused had wilfully set fire to the premises , consequently he gave her into custody . She was in hia service six weeks . —Mr . Earnest Lover , of Hermes-street , Pentonville-road , deposed that on Sunday he was on a visit at a friend ' s house , No . 29 , Golden-terrace , opposite the residence ofthe prosecutor , and on looking out ot the window he saw bodies of smoke issuing from

      Mr . Wood ' s house , and being satisfied a fire was raging , he immediately rushed out and knocked loudly at that gentleman ' s door , but receiving no answer to his repeated knocking , he rushed through the parlour window , and proceeded with all haste to the attic , which he found in a blaze . He called out to the prisoner not to let anybod y into the house , and to bring up some water which ' he refused to do . There was a fire in one corner of the room , and the bed and bedstead were on fire in an opposite direction . He procured water , and partly extinguished it in that apartment ; but while going down stairs to fetch more , he found flames issuing from the drawing-room on the first floor , where a num . ber of persons had assembled to extinguish the fire Engines had arrived on the spot , and rendered the assistance that was necessary , and the building was saved-In answer to questions , the witness said that he was quite sure , when he went up stairs there was no appearance of fire in the drawing room nor the least appearance of fire between it and the attic , - and , judging from the circumstances

      tho p lace ho had no doubt had been intentionally set on fire . —Tho prisoner , who denied the charge , was remanded , EMBfimuMGNT . —Edward Pontifex , the con ductor of one of [ fudsen ' s omnibuses , driving from Hoston to the Crystal palace , was charged wltii Qinoezziement . The prisoner oh Tuesday afternoon left the omnibus which he was in tho habit of attending , in his master ' s yard , when another conductor was put on in his stead . He had not paid in any of the money he had received from tho passengers , and being met ! in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly he was given into custody and looked up , when twentyeight shillings were found in his possession . —A n-entleman came forward to prove that he paid the

      prisoner his fare from Hoxton to the Crystal Palace , and that ho saw other parties pay him also , —The prisoner did not deny that part of the twentyeight shillings belonged to his master , but ho denied the charge of embezzling the money . —The prisoner was fully committed for trial . A Clever Thikp . —Eliza Forrester , a most remarkable-looking female , with weak and sunken eyes , was put to the bar for final examination , charged with having committed numerous robberies , The prisoner has been on the outskirts ofthe metropolis for several months committing most artful robberies . Her plan was to go about different respectable neighbourhoods undera pretence that she had been sent to engage lodgings , with board , o * c .

      for " a gentleman who was coming from the continent , and would , if pleased , continue the occupancy for a period of nine or ten months at a liberal rate . By these means she obtained admission into the house of Mrs . Lloyd , 52 , Burton-street , Burton-crescent ; Mr . Wood , 21 , Fitzroy-place , St . Pancras ; Mr . Ager , 59 , Judd . street , Brunswicksquare ; and many other parties , that she plundered during the temporary absence of the servant , who , in the several instances had answered her inquiries of jewellery , plate , clothes , and other property , with which she managed to escape from the premises . The description of her person was given

      to Sergeant Wilkes , No . 17 of the E division , who through his activity traced her . —The constable said that he apprehended the prisoner near her own lodgings in Charlton-street , Somers-town , where ho found forty-five pawn tickets having reference to plate , spectacles , musical instruments , silk umbrellas , cloaks , coats , & C . —Mr . Combe said tho cases already more particularly referred to were quite sufficient to send the prisoner for trial , and he asked her if she had any defence to make ?—She sbook her head , muttering , " It is of no use , " and walked off to the prison van in care of Waddington , the gaoler .

      MABLBOROUGU - STREET . — Them at the Crystal Palace . —William Shimmeld , a workman employed at tho Exhibition , was charged with stealing some white lead and oil , the property of Messrs . Pox and Henderson , the contractors . — Charles Chinn stated that about half-past five on Monday evening he saw the prisoner descend from tho roof of tbo Crystal Palace , and observed that he had something bulky concealed under his jacket . lie followed him to the carpenters' shop near the cast entrance of the building , where ho remained about five minutes , When he came out and had walked some distance across the Park , witness ran up to him , and told him he wanted him to go back to the office with him . On arriving at the latter

      p lace he desired him to turn out his pockets . The prisoner then took from his coat pocket about two pounds of white lead . Witness asked him where he got it from . The prisoner said hi ; had picked it up inside of tho building . Witness said , " No , that can t be , for I watched you from the roof of the building . " He then took the prisoner to the station , and on searching hiai there found upon him a bottle containing about a pint of linseed oil , which the prisoner accounted for by saying it was a peculiar kind of oil , and he had brought it to show some of the men . The prisoner afterwards said it was the first mess he ever was in , and would take care it was the last . —The prisoner in defence said tbat he found the articles close bv the Exhibition . —

      Mr . Longwas of opinion that the prisoner had come dishonestly by the property , and committed him for fourteen days for unlawful possession . An Irish Beggar . —Among the customary batch of Irish beggars was . a rough-looking , ragged young man , who carried a printed placard , which stated that the bearer was deaf and dumb . The police searched his rags before producing him in court . About a half-a-dozen parcels , carefully packed in paper , were found in various purts of his rags , besides a long stocking nearl y full of copper money . The parcels were found to contain shillings , sixpences , and fourpenny pieces , the amount together being £ 116 s ., the whole evidently the produce of mistaken benevolence . —As it was impossible to

      make the man give any sign that he understood the charge , Mr . Hardwick was puzzled how to deal with the case . —Mr . Otway , the superintendent , said he had not the least doubt the man perfectly well heard and understood everything that had been stated , but the man found it to be to his interest to effect total deprivation of tbe organs oi speech and hearing . —It waa also communicated to the magistrate that the man was one ofthe greatest begging pests of the district . —Mr . Hardwlck said it would be advisable to find out some person who understood signs , who could communicate with the man , or perhaps discover whether he was an ilnposter .- It was suggested that the Deaf and Dumb Institution would be the best place to take the

      man . —Mr . Hardwick thought not . Some short time ago a lad , pretending to be deaf and dumb , was brought to the court . He was sent to the Deaf and Dumb Institution for inspection . The . -inswer returned was that the lad was deaf and dumb , and consequently a proper object for commiseration . The lad was sent to the workhouse , but soon became engaged in a disturbance , and then showed that he had the full use of his speaking faculties , and a very ample vocabulary of abusive epithets . —The man was remanded for the present . Bobbing Foreigners . — Joseph Blades was charged with having robbed Marcus Philli pe , a Frenchman , of one- soverei gn . —The Complainant said he was a foreigner on a visit to the metropolis . While making his way to his lodgings he was

      accosted by the prisoner , who said , " How do you do ? " and wanted to shake bands . The prisoner was with two other persons . He tried to avoid the prisoner , seeing he was a stranger , upon which he received a violent blow on the head , and at the same time the prisoner put his hand in his waistcoat pocket , in which there were two sovereigns and a half . Complainant was knocked down and one of the sovereigns taken from him . He called out police , and held the prisoner until a constable came up . —Inspector Plume said there had been several complaints of forei gners having been robbed b y persons coming up to them at ni ght under the pretence of claiming an acquaintance with them . The unwary foreigner taking the proffered hand , found himself suddenl y knocked down and his money or watch taken from him . Mr ' Hardwick said the case was a serious one , amounting , indeed , to highway robbery , and he should

      therefore remand the prisoner for further inquiry Ovbrloading Omnibuses . —John Trindall , the driver of one of the supplementary Exhibition omibuses , was summoned before Mr . Long by Sir Frederick Roe , for overloading his vehicle . —Sir F Roe Stated , on the 24 th of June , about half-past eight o clock , he saw an omnibus , driven by the defendant , standing still at the north side of Piccadilly , near Half Moon-street . The omnibus was crowded with persons , inside and out . He attempted to count the number outside , and to the best of hifl belief it amounted to sixteen persons . The wretched animals attached to the omnibus wero evidently unable to drag this monstrous load a step further . The conductor was pushing at the wheel , and two other persons were assisting , but to no purpose . Some of the outside passengers and one inside passenger left the omnibus , but the horses were still unable to move it . The

      persons continued to push at the wheel , and at last he went up to the conductor , and said— " This is very wrong , " The man replied , " I have a iibbing horse , " ( the common excuse , ) and then some more of the passengers got down and li ghtened the load , until it came within the power of the animals to draw it . As a proof that the stoppage was not from a jibbing horse , but from the load being too heavy , the horses moved on When relieved—The excuse of the defendant was that he h » d a stiff horse , which was not used to omnibus work . —Mr . Long said it was wrong to overmfllfineofT " ' ° * ' and inflicted the

Although the attendance of both town anc " country buyers was very moderate , the demand for most breeds of beasts was steady , and , in some instances , the primest Scots , runts , and Herefords , including short horns , were disposed of at a tviflmg advance in the quota tions . However , the general top figure for beef did not exceed 3 s 6 d per 81 bs ., at which a good clearance wa « effected . Comparatively speaking , the supply of sheen was tolerably good as to number , and of full average quality . On the whole , the mutton trade was inactive ' nevertheless , last week ' s prices were fairl y supported , the primest old Downs selling at 3 s lOd per Slhs . The season for lambs from the Isle of Wight is now closed . From other quarters the receipts were tolerably extensive whilst the demand was slow at late rates .

The prices of cloth are also generally well maintained , with a demand equal to last week tor most kinds ; but the India commercial news by the overland mail has had a d epressing effect , and cloth suited for the eastern markets has given way to the extent of about lid per piece , whilst the leading India houses have been doing next to nothing in the shape of new orders
