      Tbe Marquis of Lansdowss and the Lord Chancellor contended tnat the Ecclesiastical Titles Act as it stoo i was sufficiently precise and intellig ible . So ne furtTK-r conversation followed , after which she mutton was negatived bj consent . A varifty of bills were advanced a stage respectivelv . n-. k >> - their lordships adjourned . - HOUSE OP COMMONS . —At the noon sitting -of the liou-se tUe Lords' amendments upon the -: Court ol ' . Chaiicery and Judicial Committee Bill ' were co : igi >| ered aiid agi & 'd to . - The committal of tue P-iwnt Iaw Amendment Bill Was r ^ sumeJ , and several clauses passed after a go- » l deal «» . d scus" » n . The report on the Episcopal and Capitular Es-1 afc ? s Management Bill was brought up , and the bill brdrreii to rtuid for third reading to-morrow . The Cotnty Courts further Extension Bill was rea-l a : hird time * nd passstd .

      The . Miutabt Ksiohts of Wisdsor . —In the evening Col 3 awi . br rose to move " * That a select commi tee be appointed to inquire into the case and claims «> f t ' . ie Military Kuights of Windsor , set forth and referred to in their two petitions presented to tne house on the 7 tb of August , 1846 , ami t « 23 r < i of February , 1817 , and which are further set lyrth and ref- rred to in the petition of the 2 d : h uf April , 1849 , by several electors , tax and raiepaiers in iim borough of Windsor . The Se . t-reuv- * of State for the Home Department had on a pnv . ious oecttion argued that this was altogether a law case but he { Col . Salwey ) contended tbat it went far beyond that—for in the claims of these poor knights the dignity and prerogative of the

      crown as sovereign of the military order of the garter were involved . The veteran or arms knights , as tbey used to he called , were established iu 1318 by EJwajd III ., at the same period that he founded the order of the Garter , and he associated thes * poor knights with the De ;» n and Canons of Windsor , who were to be their stewards , granting a donation in binds , & c . for their subsistence as a re-Ward for their services in the wars . The misfortune was . that the associating them with tbeDe .-in and Chapter as one corporation—for almost from their first « - - -t » blishment the history of these poor feuiubts had in consequence been tbat of all other bodies of men placed under cathedral or ecclesiastical corporations—Edward III . placed

      thanknights on the same footing as tbe canons , and granted th « m Is . a day for maintenance ; but , « 1-though the iiK-omes of the Dean and Canons had lucre » sed enormously , and they had drawn large sums from tiie revenues out of the funds set ap-irt for these military knights , and notwithstanding tbe increase : u tb . * value of the property would now allow £ 259 -i iear to each of these poor men , they still received tbe miserable stipend of Is . a day , the dean and the canons retaining the surplus . Uudi-r the will of Henry VIII ., a new dotation of lauds and hereditaments to tiie amount of £ 600 a year issued for tUe auppon of these tariglits , whish had been afterwards continued by ^ t-ttutes of Elisabeth and Mary . The original number of the poor kuinhts was twenty-six , but now they consisted ot

      thirteen under the letters patent of Queen Eiiztbeth . andfi «; eon a lower foundation endowed under a different will , making eighteen in alU The £ 600 a year had i . ow increased to £ 12 , 000 , but no addition to the . allowauce had bem made , and parliament was even called upon to repair the houses in wbich these persons were lodged , instead of the charge being defrayed by those who drew thi * Enormous surplus . Under the defd of covenant between the crown and the dean and canons , h > contended ih » t the claims put forward by these military knights were indisputable . The hon . and gallant officar was proceudins to read the , deed ot covenant , the will of Henry VIII ., the confirmatory atatutes . of Eliza-. eth and Mary , and other documents bearing « -n the case , wi . en

      -An Hon . Mbmbbh noticed th . it there were not forty members present , and on the house being counted , and tbe requisite number of members not being found present , the house adjourned at halfpast six o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , August 6 . -HOUSE OF . LORDS . —Their lordships sat for a short time , and advanced several oil's * stage . BOUSE OF COMMONS . —Epi-copal and CapixuxarEstatks Masagembkt ( 5 o . 2 ) Biu , —On toe oriler of the day being read for the third reading of this bill , Sdr . Hesxet said , after fuller consideration of this measure , he believed it would work injuriously both to tho Cuurch and to the lessees , and that it was not fair , or wise , or decent to legislate upon this ( subject in so precip itate a niuoner . He , therefore , moved to defer tbe third reading for three months . This amendment was supported by Colonel

      Sib-7 K 0 BP . Hr . J . A . Smith observed that the lessees , as a body , who were at present in a state of p . info ! uncertainty , were greatly interested in this hill becoming law . Though falling far short of whit was required , he hoped it would pass , preparatory to future legislation . Mr . Aloock , Sir n . Willoughby , and Mr . Aglionby gave aquaiiried support to the b ' -ll . Mr . ItousDELL Palmer said he should vote for the third reading of tbe bill , because it would not have the effect of pledging the ecclesiastic *! corporations to any future legislation recognising tbe alleged rights of the lessees , which had no Ie ^ >; il or

      tquitable basis , but were founded upon a course of xnsmanagement by bodies intrusted with public interests , from which the lessees had . derived considelujfo benefit , and no man could acquire a vested a teres : from the mismanagement of public prox < r : y .. The church bad been affected incidentally by modern legislation . Parliament now always acted as if church property was the sole fund out of -wbicb church extension was to be provided for - , the interest of the public , therefore , required that Church property shauld not be sacrificed to the interests of individuals , unless their claims rested upon a solid basis , legal or equitable . from of Fal

      Mr . HKADtAH dissented some Mr . - raer- ' 3 views . He denied the position tbat the mismanagement of public bodies did not confer rig hts upon individuals ; and he thought it was not for tbe interest of the church , for the sake of increasing its property , to act harshly towards church lessees . After some further discussion , Mr . Hknlet withdrew his motion , and the bill was . read a third time . On the motion of the Solicitor-General certain amendments were made in the bill , including a Clause protecting sub-lessees who had covenants of renewal ; and the bill passed . The house then went again into committee npnn { he-Patent Law Amendment Bill , which passed this Btage . Some further formal business was disposed of , and the house adjourned .

      . THURSDAY , August 7 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The royal assent was g iven by commission to a large number of public and private bills , The Commons' amendments on the Fatent Law Amendment Bill being brought up for consideration , Lord Montkagle offered some opposition to the measure iu its new forjn , and their lordships having consented to disagree with the . amendments made iu the , lower house , the bill is lost for the present yew . . The Commons amendments to the EpiscopaPahd Capitular Estates Management Bill wereagreed to . Pboxestahi TVobshd ? in Roue . — The

      Earl ofHABHOWBr said , their lordships mi g ht have seen in the papers the expression of a strong desire to be . pennitted to erect a Protestant place of worship within tbe walls of the city of Rome . Hitherto that permission had been refused ; but under existing circumstances , when the church of Rome was making such large claims on the toleration of all Protestant countries , perhaps the opportunity would not be ill-chosen for a renewed application , in s more authoritative character to tbe

      court of Rome ,, for the purpose of securing the permission which had hitherto been refnaed . . ( Hear , hear . ) Their lordships were aware of the general act for the encouragement of the erection of chapels in foreign parts , b y which church accommodation was furnished tb a considerable number of her Majesty ' s subjects . Without asking for-the assistance under that act for the erection of a chapel in this case , which had been granted in other cases by the government , the parlies who were desirous of erecting a chapel at their own expense , were anxious to Know whether the government would use their best offices with the court of Rome , for the purpose of ensuring for the Protestants in Rome permission to erect a Pr otestant place ofw HhipforherMajesty ' ssubjectsintiiatcity 1

      Saturday, August 2. House Of . Lords.—Th...

      Thfi Marquis of Lasbdowse replied in so low a tone of voice across tbe table , that it was impossible to catch two consecutive words of his answer in the gallery ; and noble lords sitting closu b y him were obliged to make an effort to hear what he said . Tho noble . marquis was understood to have said , that his noble friend ( Lord Palmerston ) had made application to the court of Rome on this subject , and from the reply which he had received there was but little hope of the privilege being granted . Some other bills were advanced' a stage , and the house adjourned at ei ght o clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The Patent Law Amendment Bill was read a third time und passed .

      After considerable discussion , a series of resolutions were adopted respecting the order to be observed by hon . members , to hear tbe speech proroguing parliament , by which it was organised on the basis of the ballot , for selecting and appointing . the places of such number of members as could find convenient standing room inthe area set apart for them in the Chamber of the Lords . In reply to questions from Sir De Lacy Evans regarding the political condition of Piedmont , and the treatment of political pri-: soners by the Neapolitan government ,

      Lord Palmerston expressed his assurance that Piedmont was likely to preserve a fair share of internal liberty , and an unassailable national independence , the popular constitution in that country having worked admirably hitherto . Respecting the second query , the noble lord complimented Mr . Gladstone for courage and humanity in denonncing the cruelties perpetrated upon the unfortunate detenus in the political prisons of Naples . The Uritish government had not , however , thought it ri g ht to interpose any official remonstrances upon the subject , but hoping that the voice of public opinion mi g ht shame the Neapolitan authorities into better conduct , he had

      transmitted copies of Mr . Gladstone ' s pamphlets to the ministers at the various European courts , with the intention that a knowledge of the facts should be diffused as widely as possibly . Colonel SiBraonr recapitulated the well known hots relating to the case of Mrs . Hicks , and after charging the Woods and Forests department with harshness and cruelty , enforced the claim ofthe dispossessed woman to compensation . The gallant member concluded by moving for certain papers connected witb tbe subject . The motion was seconded by Lord IX Siuaut , who contended that Mrs . Hicks had been treated with much inhumanity .

      Lord Se y mour , who offered no objection to the motion itself , vindicated the conduct of his department , who were bound under a peremptory act of Parliament , and their own oaths of office , to prevent the invasion of tbe public parks , or the erection of buildings therein by private persons , on any pretext . The Woods and Forests were thus bound to do what they bud done , and possessed no means of assigning compensation , if such had been due to Mrs . Hicks , which , however , he denied . The subsequent denial of her request to be allowed to continue her traffic . in calces was an act for which the Duke of Wellington , aa ranger of Hyde Park , was solely responsible .

      Mr . Hume detailed the successive difficulties and delays that bad been thrown in tbe way of his uideayour to obtain a select committee on the incourt tax . Although the committee themselves bad decided upon postponing the publication of this .-videnc . , he proposed a resolution over-riding their decision , and ordering the full particulars to be primed immediately . The Chancellor of tbe Eychequer observed that the committee had adopted their determination not to print the evidence upon the ground t ' uat ' i was altogether incomplete . In the fact itself , and is ibe conclusion founded upon it , he complfteiy concurrftd . Sir J . Waluisley and Mr . W . Williams supported tie Tuition .

      The S p eaker was on the point of putting the question , when . The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at tho bar , and , advancing to the table , summoned the house to attend the House of Lords to hear the royal assent given hy commission , to several bills . The coincidence between the question about to be decided and the sudden apparition of Black Rod ; as . he appears when summoning tiie house to attend a prorogation , elicited

      shouts of laughter . When tho Speaker rose , in obedience to the summons , no one appeared disposed to follow him , but as his robes were vanishing through the doorway , Mr . T . Hobhouse rose slowly and followed in the Speaker ' s wake . This caused a new shout , attributable , perhaps , to the hon . member ' s recent speech against concession to the Lords ; and there succeeded a call for Mr . Macgregor , who , Hmidat further symptoms of merriment , followed Mr . Hobhouse , along with two or three other members .

      After a fen words from Mr . B . Cochrane , and Colonel Thompson , Mr . Hume replied , and the house divided , but die united numbers showing a total of less than forty members present , the division was null , and < he house stood adjourned . FRIDAY , Auonsx 8 . HOUSE OF LOBDS . —The house assembled at one o ' clock , for the purpose of meeting her Majesty , and assisting at the ceremonial of tbe prorogation of parliament . This being performed with the usual formalities , their lordships adjourned for the recess .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tbe interval which elapsed between the assembling of the house at one , and tbe arrival ofthe summons to tho Speaker to attend the Queen at the bar ofthe Upper House , was occupied iu the presentation of a few pttitions , und in asking a few questions . VI r . Wabxev renewed the motion proposed by Mr . Hume on the previous evening , ordering tbe evidence taken before the Select Committee on the income t > x to be forthwith printed . Lord J . Russell opposed the motion , which , after some discuMdon was negatived , on a division , hy a majority of 62 to 52—10 . A ballot afterwards took place to decide upon the members who were to attend tbe Speaker to the bar of the Peers .

      On returning to the Commons the Speaker read the royal speech proroguing parliament . The memtier . s then separated , and the session of 1851 came to an end .

      Prorogation Of Parliament. ' ^ The House...

      PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT . ' ^ The House of Lords met again at half-past one o clock . About a quarter past two o ' clock her Majesty entered the house ,, in the usual state . Her Majest y then read , in a clear and impressive manner , the following royal speech , which had been banded to her by the Lord Chancellor : — Mi Lords ami Gentlemen , 1 am glad to be able to release you from your attendance in Parliament , and I thank you for the diligence with which you have performed your laborious duties .

      I continue to maintain the most friendly relations with foreign powers . 1 am happy to be able to congratulate you , on tbe very considerable diminution which has taken place in the African and Brazilian slave trade . The exertions ot my squadrons on tbe COaStS Of Africa and Brazil , assisted by the vigilance of the cruisers of France and the United-States , aud aided by the co-operation of the Brazilian Government , have mainly contributed to this result . GSNILEMEN OF THB HOUSE OF COMMONS , i thank you for the readiness with wbich you have granted the supplies necessary for the service of the year .

      My . Loans and Gkstleuen , It is satistactory to observe that , not w ithstanding very large reductions of taxes , the revenue for the past year considerably exceeded the public expenditure for ihe same period . I aui rejoiced tbat you have thereby been enabled to relieve toy people from an impost which restricted the enjoyment of light and air in their dwellings , I trust that this enactment , with others to which your attention has been and will be directed , will contribute to the health and comfort of my subjects ; 1 tbauk you f r the assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the consideration of a measure framed for the purpose of checking the undue

      assumption of Eccelesiastical Titles conferred hy a Foreign Power . Ite ' ives me the . highest satisfaction to find that , wbile repelling unfounded . claims , , you bave maintained inviolate the great principles of religious liberty so happily established among us , The itttfiitbm you hav < = bestowed on the administration of justice ia the courts of law and equity , will , I trust , prove beneficial , and lead to further improvementBi I have willingly given my consent to a bill relating to the administration ot the land revenues of tbe crown , which will , I hope , conduce to the better management of that department , and at the same time tend to the promotion of works ot public

      Utility . ' ., . A It has been very gratifying to me , on an occasion which has brought many foreigners to this country , to observe the spirit of kindness and goodwill which so generally prevailed . It is my anxious desire to promote among na tions tbe cultivation of all those arts which are fostered by peace , and which in their turn contri * bute to maintain the peace of the world . In closing tho present session , it is with feelings of gratitude to Almighty God that I acknowledge the general sp irit of loyalty and willing obedience to tbe law wbich animates my people . Such a spirit is the beat security at once for the progress and the stability of our free and happy institutions . Upon the conclusion ofthe speech , the Lord Chancellor , in ber Majesty ' s name , and by ber Majesty ' s command , prorogued the Parliament to Thursday , the 4 th September next ,

      The Queen then left the house in the same order which she had entered it ; and the session of 1551—remarkable more for Ha long , angry , and exciting debates , than for the amount of legislative business transacted—was thus brought to a close .

      Public Amusements. <;. Caldwell's Assemb...

      PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS . <; . CALDWELL'S ASSEMBLY ROOMS . These splendid rooms have , during- trie past few days , attracted the attention and admiration of our country cousins . To enhance tho splendour . oftrie rooms during- the week the United Foresters have adorned it with numerous flags of their order , and have been daily visitow of their highly spirited brother . This does them credit . From our porsp- ; nal knowledge of the unequalled accommodation to tbe public , tbe urbanity of the proprietor , and the regulation of the arrangments in every particular , we can assure our readers in the metropolis , and our ftienda in the country , that an evening spent at Mr . Caldwell ' s establishment , will not be counted a killing of time . Tbe musical talents of the orchestra alone , under the direction of Mr . J . Bradley , evince a determination to give ample satisfaction to his patrons .

      THE HIPPODROME . In the ? e days of wonder , when each novelty , whilst exciting the admiration of the beholder , but serves to whet the appetite for something that shall surprise him still more ; the visitor to the Crystal Palace , un > sated after his half-dozen hours spent amidst the industrial splendours of the world , looks round him on his exit in search of an evening ' s entertainment , in some degree commensurate with the scene that he has just left , and within five minutes walk of the World ' s Fair , he comes upon an exhibition that may well be allowed to vie with anything tbat he has hitherto seen , "The Hippodrome , *' a building like an ancient circus , raised at the sole cost aiid'risk of a private individual , Mr . Batty , the proprietor of Astley ' s Amphitheatte , is calculated to accommodate between

      14 , 000 and 15 , 000 persons . A few years ago it would have been a world ' s wonder in itself . The equestrian corps engaged tor the performances is unparalleled in magnitude . The novelties promised and producedperfect in the meaning of the word—were unheard of before . The extt'Ordiuary ascensions of the Globe Arienne by M . E . Debach , is quite incomprehensible The Ladies' Chariot Race , is a most inspiriting sight ,, and there are few who will net be anxious to see tbe Ostrich Race . But to those who can duly appreciate tbe combination of elegance and skill we recommend a careful study of the performances of Mdle . Clementine Soullierand M . Debach on his beautifully managed horse . Spacious as is the Amphitheatre , the possibility of its being overcrowded could scarcely be imagined as being within thorange of contingencies , yet it has already

      occurred . One day last week no less a sum than * 150 was refused at the doors after 17 , 000 persons had been admitted . Nearly 100 members of the royal household honoured the performance with their presence on the occasion . In the evening Mdle ; Palmyra Garneron ascended in her balloon , the " Rainbow , " for the first time from this establishment . At six precisely the fair aeronaut gave the word for the ascent , which was magniflnent in the extreme . After a safe and pleasant voyage of nearly One hour she descended in perfect safety at Hanwell , iu . a field Adjoining the church , where She ' was kindly received by Dr . Herri fig ton aiid his daughter , who most hospitably invited her to the parsonage house , and rendered her every assistance until her vehicle , which followed tbe direction of the balloon , arrived to convey her and the machine to the place of transit . ; '

      From Communications Appearing In The Arb...

      From communications appearing in the Arbroath Guide , it appears that the Kirk sessions there are inflicting " discipline" on persons found guilty of walking on Sunday ! The Condemned Cokviot at Norwich . —The execution ofthe condenmed convict , Henry Groom , who was tried and found guilty , at the last Norfolk assizes for an aggravated case of murder , is fixed to take ' place on Saturday , the 9 ch inst ., at twelve o ' clock , in front of Norwich Castle . Since his condemnation , the miserable culprit seems to be perfectly . alive , to the fearful nature of his position , and has made in general terms a full confession of his guilt to the gaol chaplain . Wane the Gresham Committee , throw cold water on Mr . Paxton ' s plan for covering the uncomfortable area ofthe Royal Exchange , it is worthy of remark that the committee of the model Bourse of Antwerp have decided on glazing that are » , the covering being decoraten with a map of the world .

      SURREY SESSIONS . Tbe August sessions for the county of Surrey commenced on Monday morning , at tbe Courthouse , Newington-causeway , before Thomas Puckle , Esq . ( chairman ) , J .

The prisoner was one of them , and said that he had plenty of silver , and could give her change . She handed him the balf . sovereign . which he put in his

      pocket , and on her demanding the change he again put his hand in his pocket and returned her what she considered to be a half-sovereign ; but on looking at it , she instantly perceived that it was not the coin she had given to him . In fact , it was a counterfeit . While she was endeavouring to get her own money back the prisoner decamped , but she gave information to the police , and caused him to be apprehended . —The jury found him Guilty , and the prosecutrix having recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of bis family , the " Court sentenced him to to three months' hard labour at Brixton , at the same time intimating that had not such a recommendation been given he ( the chairman ) would have punished him with great severity .

He went in search of tbem , and not being able to find them out , he gave information to tbe police , and tho prisoner was apprehended on the following night sitting on tbe step of her door . — The jury found her Guilty , and the Court sentenced her to three months' bard labour at Brixton .

      Surrey Sessions. Tbe August Sessions For...

      . MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . Tbe August general session . of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced on Tuesday niorniii" at the Sessions House , Clerk ' enweil-ereen . Swbbt Thievks—William Chestney , 16 , William L ' ovel , 15 , and George Griffiths , -21 , were indicted for . having stolen 281 bs ., of sugar , the property of the Great Northern Railway Company . The two dm-uamed prisoners pleaded Guilty . —It appeared that the prisoner Griffiths was a carman in the employ Ol a Mr . Eades , and on the 28 th of July he went to the station in charge of a load of wool , the other two prisoners , and a third lad , named Lingford , being with him . His van was backed alongside a van loaded with sugar , and it appeared from

      the evidence of Liogfdrd , the accomplice , tbat Chestney and Love . ltooka loaf of sugar from the van and concealed it in a nose-bag belonging to Grifliihs' van , that being done with Grimths' know * . ledge and ' Sanction . The evidence of Lingford as to the latter point was not at all conclusive , and the strongest fact against Griffiths was that he said to Lingford and the two other prisoners , when they were all looked up in the cell together , that the less tbey said about it the better it would be for them when tbey got out . There was no confirmation of Lingford ' s story . —The Jury acquitted Griffiths . — ihe learned Judge sentenced Chestney and Lovel to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for four months .

      AiAoisraiMs' Law . —A Scene in Court . —Wm . Winiield was indicted for having stolen a half-sovereign and other monies , the property of Charlotte Cooper , from her person . —It appeared that on Monday week the prosecutrix was walking down Hanover-street , when she was pressed closely by the prisoner and another person as they passed by her . Directly they were gone by she was spoken to by a person named Bennett , when she put her hand into her pocket' and missed her purse . The prisoner had been seen to put his band into the prosecutrix ' s pocket , take something out of it , and band it over bis shoulder to the man who . was then in hia company , The witness who had seen tins was about to lay hold of the two men , but he was

      immediately followed by ttvo other men who detained him , but ho got free from them by knocking one of them down . He then caught the prisoner , and gave him into custody . —Mr . Ribton then addressed the jury for the prisoner , and contended that it had not been proved that the prisoner had a purse in his possession . —As soon as Mr . Ribton had finished hia address , Mr . Witham ( who presided during the temporary absence ofthe learned judge ) recalled the prosecurix , and elicited from her the colour of the purse she had lost . —Mr . Ribton rose and said , with some warmth : I think your lordship lias no right to put any such questiou , the case for the prosecution having closed ; and it is most unjust towards the prisoner to re-open it again . —Mr .

      Witham : Don't interrupt me , sir . —Mr . Ribton : Kiut 1 will , and I object to your doing so , and I am convinced that your-lordship would entertain the Objeotion if 1 were to pursue a similar course . —Mr . Witham persisted in putting the question , audthen called the witness Bennett , and also inquired of him the colour of the purse . —Mr . Ribton : I claim a reply to the jury on the questions ' put by the Court , and I must say tbat tbe learned chairman has taken a course which could not be pursued in any other court of justice in England , and wbich no superior judge in any of the courts at Westminster would sutfer counsel to pursue . Mr . Witham has gathered the weafc points of the case from my speeuh for the defence , when lie re-opens the case ,

      Cutting such questions as would tend to strengthen the case for the prosecution , but operating most unfairly against the prisoner—a course which , with all respect to the Court , I t > eg to say is highly improper and unjust to the prisoner . A few days since I was myself stopped by Baron Aldcrson , at Maidstone , on the Home Circuit , for endeavouring to put a question on cross-examination , after haying concluded my case . That learned judge would not allow me to do so , and said that it was so highly improper that he would not tolerate it . —Mr . Wt ham : It shall bu done by me . —Bennett was tben called ; but he could not tell the colour of the purse , —Mr . Ribton then proceeded to address the jury , commenting , with some earnestness on the

      conduct ot the learned chairman , m having put questions' that were likely to prejudice the case against the prisoner after the case for both prosecution and defence had been closed . —Mr . Witham : Sit down , sir . —Air . Ribton : I shall not . —Mr , Witham : I say yoii- ' shall . —Mr . Ribton ; I will not . —Mr . Witham : I will i . ot allow you to comment on me personally . —Mr . Ribton : Well , then , as I have done commenting , allow me to proceed with my o & jection .

      GUILDHALL . —The-Omnibus Nuisance . —Tho conductor ot the omnibus 6281 was summoned for : exacting more than the proper fare . Mr . George Brierly , of Bedford-street , Islington , said he got out of defendant ' s omninus on Thursday last , at the Angel , to go to Holborn . He did not ask if he went there , because he saw " Holborn " distinctly painted on it . It proceeded down Aldersgirte-Strer-t , through St . Paul ' s Churchyard and Ludgate « hili , over Bladkfriars Bridge , on arriving at the Surrey side of which he told the defendant he wanted to go to Holborn . Defendant told him to get dp-an thvre , but complainant declined , saying he w » ul < i ret . iin his seat until they took him nearer to Il'ilborn than they had been . Accordingly defendant took complainant to Eennington , and there advised him to

      get into another omnibus that went to Holborn , but complainant objected , to this , and was ultimately taken back by defendant to Holborn . There defendant demanded tenpence fare , which Mr . Brierly paid , and then took out the present summons . —Defendant admitted that " Holborn " wa » painted on tbe omnibus , and tbat it did not go there . —Alderman Cubitt said , iu tbe crowded i-tatv of London at the present time people could not stop to inquire the differehtplaces that an omnibus plied to ; and , therefore , tbe only guide they had was the names of the places on . the omnibuses , arid V > the omnibus did not gd to all the places se marked , theparties . were guilty of a deception towards tho public , and ought to be punished . In this instance be fined the defendant ten shillings and three shillings costs , and he hoped the master would pay it , as it was no fault of the man ' s .:

      Charoe arising oui o ? the iatb Police Out-RAOB IN Sues Lang . —On Saturday last a miduleaged woman , named Long , was brought before Sir George Carroll , charged by a police-constable with throwing a briok out of her window in Pluuitreecourt , Saoe-laue , with an intent to do him bodily harm . Tbe case had been remanded from the previous Wednesday , for the police to produce further evidence . —The previous evidence having been read , the policeman swore that early , on Wednesday morning , as he was passing up Plnmtree-court , he saw a briok thrown with violence from one of the houses , and on looking up ho saw a head withdrawn from the window of the room in which Mrs . Long

      resided , He could not swear that she threw the brick , but a boy who was present told him it came from " mother Long ' s window . " He then broke open the door of Mrs . Long ' s room , and found her in company with other women . Her . bands appeared to be covered with brick-dust . —Crossexamined by Mr . Abrahams : There was a pigeonhouse or flat board that partly prevented a sight of Mrs . Long ' s windows . He was confident the boy told him that the brick came from Mrs . Long ' s window . ; He did not see the brick thrown himself . —The boy was then called and sworn : -He saw the policeman on tt » night in question , and Jhad some conversation with him . He never told him that

      the briok came from Mrs . Long ' s window , or was thrown by Mrs . Long . —The evidence having closed , Mr . Gardner desired to speak . He ( Gardner ) had charged the policeman with perjury , which charge was now being investigated in the Commissioner ' s Court , and he protested against the policeman ' s evidence being received . —Sir George Carrol : You are not a witness and-1 cannot hear you —Mr . Clancy also persisted in addressing the Court , and was ordered to be removed from the room . —Some little confusion took place , when Sir George Carrol said he must again dismiss the case . He had no doubt ' the woman threw the brick , but the evidence waa not sufficient to convict . He believed the boy had been tampered with , aiid that his first statement was correct . —The cose excited much attention , as tho woman charged was one of the witnesses against the policeman for the outrage in Plumtree-court .:

      WORSHIP-STR . EET . —CosyEssioN o » Murdbb . —Radhael Jacobs , a neatly dressed Jewess , about thirty years of age , was placed at tbe bar before Mr . Arnold , charged upon her own confession with the wilful murder of her two infant children . — Police-constable Gould , F 76 , stated that while on duty in John-street , Adelphi , between one and two o ' clock on Monday morning , his attention was attracted by a low moaning in a female voice , and on reaching the spot whence it proceeded , he found the prisoner sitting upon the edge of the kerb , rooking herself to and fro , and exhibiting every indication of extreme mental anguish and suffering . On questioning her as to tbe cause of her distress , the prisoner stated that she had been unable to rest for a long time past , in consequence of a

      dreadful secret which had been preying incessantly on her mind , and proceeded to intimate that she referred to the murder Of her two children , the first of whom sho had deprived of life about nine years ago , by administering to it twopenny worth of sugar of lead , and that she had destroyed the other , an infant six weeks old , by similar means about four months since . The prisoner further added , that at the time of the last occurrence she was living at a bouse in Boar ' s Head-eoiirfc , Petticoat-lane , in the backyard of which she had buried tbe child the morning after the murder , and immediately afterwards hastily quitted the neighbourhood ; On hearing these disclosures , witness at once conveyed the woman to the station-house , where she persisted in the same statement to the inspector on

      duty , and after furnishing them with a minute description of the place where she alleged that the body of tbe last infant was interred , repeated that they would certainly find it there where she had left it , with a flannel cap on its head , and a frock made ofthe same material as the one she was then wearing . —The prisoner ' s sister , Sophia Berasco , a decent looking married woman , here stepped forward , and informed the magistrate that , in consequence of the abandoned course of life ,, which the prisoner had pursued , she bad been discarded by all her friends , and witness had lost sight of her ; but although it bad certainly come to her knowledge that she had since married , she waa not aware

      whether she had any children .-A sergeant of the F division , who had charge of the case , apprised the magistrate that he had that morning seen tbe husband of the prisoner , who admitted that be bad turned his wife out of doors , but said that he had done so in consequence of her drunken atld Violent conduct , and tbat be was determined to have nothing more to do witb her . —The prisoner said it was solely in consequence of tbe harsh treatment she had been subjected to by her husband that she had been induced to make the statement she had to tbe officer , as he had not only deprived her of her home , but was then living with another woman . — The prisoner was remanded for a week .

      Manslaughter . —John Rogers , an omnibus driver , who stood charged with having caused the death of Elizabeth Leafed a woman with whom he cohabited , was then placed at tbe bar for final examination , — The facts of the case have alread y appeared in this paper , and the prisoner , who reserved his defence , by the advice of Mr . Vann , his solicitor , was fully committed io Newgate for' trial upon the charge of manslaughter . WESTMINSTER . —Attempted Murder . —Andrew M'Lean , a journeyman tailor , of wild appearance , about forty years of age , living at 17 , Daore-street , Westminster , was charged with attempting to murder his wife by banging her . Mary Rigg , of 17 , Dacre-atreet , Westminster , sworn The prisoner and his wife occupy the next room to

      me and my husband . Between twelve and one on Monday morning wo were in bed and awoke by a great noiae , and heard the eldest girl ( tbe child eight years of age ) say , " Father , father , do let mother down . ; pray let mother come down . " Directly after this the girl came and knocked at Our door and said , " My father has hung my mother . " We immediately went into their room , and found prisoner ' s wife hanging by a double rope , wbich was fastened round her neck , from the door of a top cupboard . Her hands were lifted up , and had hold of the rope , as if she was trying to save herself . My husband immediately held her up in his arms while I cut the rope , and he carried her into our room and laid her on the bed . She was turning black in the face . My husband said , " What made

      you hang the poor woman ? " when prisoner threatened to punch his head for him . We sent for the police , and my husband gave him in charge . Ellen Mayhew , another lodger in . the same house , confirmed the first witnesses' statement , and saw her cut the woman down . After a consultation between the magistrate and chief clerk , it was determined that the wife ' s account of the transaction should be heard . The wife at first refused to be sworn , but Mr . Burrell having declared that he would commit her to prison unless she gave evidence , she . consented , and told the following extraordinary and incredible story . - —The prisoner is my husband . I was a scolding when he came in I commenced it . He came in late last night . ¦ The children s skipping-rope was upon tbe table , and I put the knot m it for them to beat a ball about the room as I did not like them to go out into the l

      • ww m ° ° ' 00 rt - My husband-says , What would you say , Mary , if 1 hung you like Sri ^ n ° t £ 8 elf * -would not that be a serious thing ? He gave way to the devil , and you get abusing mo and driving me to drink many a £ / m henI 0 Uld , ,, * 8 airf . " " You had better hang me and get rid of mo . " " Well " he sivs ' I think I shall , " and then be laid down on the mi » ^ "P . again and says " You will not keep ^ v „ fn a Hr lB i ' ' ^ d 0 » ot mean to , " and I aggravated . him to get up again , and he got up again and put the eo n * u <^ xounu my jaw more to tie up my j iw and face more than lik ' e round my neck , and he twisted it round tho top of the cupboard , and said . "Now we'll have a awing-swong . " 1 said to mLizzy , "Ho means to hang me / ' and she was frightened .. My feet were on the ground ; and it was all his nonsense . It ' s always bis way a going on a spreeing with a parcel of nonsense like a young man whenever he gets a little drink and I m bat ) tempered-allajoke . " Remanded .
