      WEDNESDAY , Jclt 16 . HOUSE OF COMMON'S . —The National Land Company DiSrolvhij : Bill was considered , and ordered fur a third readimi . atomr with several other bills . Treatment of E . Jose * . —Lord D . Stuart stated inth- hoi . se thai . h « h = « l been reques ed by Sir O vi > for a return of all the rules relatms to Political Prisoners , from 1840-and IjviO ii ' -lnsivc .

      p .. * . ! CK Yv" musts . —Mr . T . Dexcoihie asked on -wha' authority the Police Commissioners allowed to ; ny me-nipiilitan parish twenty-five per cent , di-c nt for prompt payment on the police warrant ? The paroi-hia ! officers of the parish of St . Mary ' s , Islington , ind issued a notice in which they stated that i « » rdcr to procure this discount , which amounted to £ 1 , 291 Os . 41 ., they had been obliged to allow many tradesmen's bibs to remain in arrear , and they therefore requested the prompt payment © f the rate in order that those accounts might be Jia . ; barir < -d .

      M - BonvEMF . said it was quite a mistake to rail this all » w mce a dis .-ount . In the original Metro politan Police Act . of George IV ., it was enacted that the rate sbould not exceed 8 d . in the pound ; and by thc subsequent act of the 3 rd and 4 th William IV ., c . SO , it was provided that if payment was male by ; my parish of 3 d . in the pound every hallyear , within forty days after it was due , the Treasury should be authorised to allow the remainiiii fourth of the rate out of the consolidated fund . Mr Bamjes moved that the petition of certain electors nf Harwich , complaining of government interference at the last election for that borough , be referred to a Select Committee , and Lord J . Russell not opposing inquiry , the motion ¦ was arreed to . . The Charitable Institutions Notices Bill and the Arrest of Absconding Debtors Bill passed through committee .

      The Charitable Purchase Deeds Bill was withdrawn , and the Coroners Bill was rejected . The house went into committee upon the Law of Evidence Amendment Bill , the several clauses of -which were agreed to , after much discussion . On the order that the Pharmacy Bill be committed , Mr . Heslet sogsesfed that the subject should be previously inquired into by a Select Committee next session . Mr . J . Bell assenting to this course , the order ¦ was discharged . The Local Acts ( Preliminary Inquiries ) Bill was read a second time ; and the Stock-in-Trade Bill was read a third time and passed .

      The house then went into committee successively upon the Copyhold and Enclosure Commissions Bill , the Victoria-park Bill , the County Courts Further Extension Bill , and the Tithe Rent Charge Assessment Bill . The house adjourned at a quarter to six o ' clock . THURSDAY . July 17 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —Oaths of Abjuration 3 ews Bill . —The Lord Chancellor moved tbe second reading of the above Bill . The title of thc Jews to admission as legislators he re . -tcd upon their recognised position as British subjects , who ,

      us such , were entitled to nil the privileges , i only they were aide and willing to discharge the duties which society claimed from them in that capacity . "While submitting that the onus of proving that our Jlebrew fellow subjects were in any way disqualified the noble and learned lord dwelt upon the length of time during which they bad held , and the faithfulness with which they fulfilled various functions of thc highest importance , as magistrates on the bench , as civic authorities , as merchant princes , possessors of vast property , and wielders of enormous social and political influence .

      Earl Xelsox contended that neither the concession , nor the use of merely administrative powers , gave the Jews any rU'ht to claim legislative functions . If this race were allowed to enter parliament without taking the oath to respect and defend the Protestant Church , how could a formula oi that tenor be required from Catholics or other Christian sects ? After briefly dissecting the arguments offered in defence of the bill by the Lord Chancellor , the noble lord moved that the second reading ' » e adjourned to that day six months . Lord Wodeiiousb propounded , and supported at some length , the maxim that civil privileges ought never to - '» c made dependent upon religious belief . The Bishop of Norwich apprehended that the resistance so often repeated against the measure disparaged the character ofthe country for Christian toleration ; and fearing no real danger from passing it , should vote in favour of the second reading .

      Considerable discussion followed , and after a reply from the Loud Chaxcellor , their lordships divided on the motion for the second reading of Tlie bill : — Contents 60 Proxies 48—108 Xon-Contents 82 Proxies 62—144—36 The bill is consequently lost . After the declaration of the numbers on this division , their lordships adjourned at a quarterpast ten o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In tho House of Commons , Mr . Sthtjit look the oaths and his seat for the borough of Arundel .

      Harwich Election' . —Mr . Baxkes moved tbat the general c-miuittee of elections be instructed to appoint a select committee , consisting of seven members , to investigate the allegations contained in a petition respecting the late election for the borough of Harwich . Iu this petition a complair . t was made against the government of having interfered in that election , and it was due to the character of the ministry that a full inquiry should he instituted into the circumstances of the case . - Some discussion ensued , in the course of which Mr . Cobdfa and other members opposed the mo . tv . vj , on the ground tbat inquiry was unnecessary , seeing the electoral character of the borough was ¦ wh- . ily gone , and its inveterate corruption " called ferine summary bflictioa of the pe : ia ! ty of disfranchisement . ^ T— T \ .......... — ... 1 . .., JL . 1 .,. _ - - , » Disraeli remarked

      Saturday, Jew 12. House Op Commons.—The ...

      The bouse resumed , and adjourned at a quarter to two . FRIDAY , July 18 . HOUSE OP LORDS . — The Inhabited IIouse Duty Bill was read a second time . Some other business was also despatched , and their lordships adjourned . IIOUSE OF COMMONS . —Considerable excitement was manifest , and an unusual crowd of members assembled at four o ' etoek , owing to the expectation that the newly-elected member lor Greenwich would , according to his promise , appear to claim his seat in the bouse .

      Im mediately after the Speaker had taken the chair , Mr . Aldt-rman Salomons approached the table , being introduced by Sir B . Hall and Mr . Aiif . l Smith . The Old Testament was then , at his own reque .-t , put in his hand , and the hon . member related the words of the three successive oaths , according to the prescribed form , until Ik- came to the final clause of tho Oath of Abjuration , " on the true faith of a Christian , " which he declined to repeat , observing that they were not binding on his conscience . The Spkaker , therefore , decided that the formula enjoined by the lav- ' and custom of Parliament , preliminary fo the admittance of an elected member to the enjoyment of his rights as a legUlator , not having been fulfilled , tho worthy Alderman must withdraw .

      Alderman Salomons , however , went to a bench on th <» ministerial side of the house and took his se .- » t for a few moments , after which he withdrew from the house . Sir B . Hall , after stating that the member for Greenwich had obeyed the Speaker's injunction from a sense of propriety , and under a full persuasion iluit he was entitled to retain the seat he had taken , inquired , in his name , whether enough had been done to open the legal question , and whether the government intended to try to enforce the penalties contemplated in tho statutes whereby the admission to th . t house was repulated ?

      The Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that Mr . Salomons had done all that in him lay to bring the question for trial before a court of law . On the part of the goverment , however , he declined to state the course tbey intended to pursue , wishing first to ascertain the opinion which the house , after due deliberation , mi g ht express upon the circumstances that had just occurred . He proposed consequently the adjournment of any further proceedings until Monday next . Sir F . Tiiesiokh trusted that the prospective dehate would turn upon some novel points , and not prove a bare repetition of the discussion of last year . A lively conversation was kept up for some time ,

      but the arrangement suggested by thc Chancellor ol the Exchequer was ultimately adopted , Sir B . Hall expressing a hope that on Monday evening the Prime Minister , whose place had been vacant throughout the foregoing scene , might be present . The subject , therefore , stands adjourned until Monday . The house then went into Committee of Supply . Some hours were devoted to the discussion of successive votes for the civil contingencies and naval service , arid at half-past one the last " supply vote" being passed , the house cheered and resumed . Some bills were advanced a stage , and tho house adjourned .

      LIBERATION OF KOSSUTH AND HIS COMPATRIOTS . On Thursday evening , July 10 th , a public meeting of the inhabitants of Kilbarchan , was held in the Chartist Meeting-house , for the purpose of memorialising the British government to procure the liberation of the illustrious Kossuth and his brave companions in exile .

Robert Cbaio , who moved the following memorial : — " The Memorial of the inhabitants of Kilbarchan , in Public Meeting assembled ,

      " Humbly Sheweth , —Thatyour memorialists beg most respectfully to call your lordships' notice to the continued dstention of the unfortunate , but brave , defenders of their country ' s liberties—Louis Kossuth , the Hungarian patriot , and his comp atriots iu exile . That the struggle for the independence of Hungary was , hy every humane mind , viewed with feelings of admiration and regret , that a cause so just and so enabling was unsuccessful . That the further detention of the unfortunateextles in the dominions of the Sultan , tends to create a feeling of distrust as to the policy of the government of this country in relation to them . That your inemorialistsare of opinion thatintercession isrequired in behalf of the illustrious prisoners , to prevent the

      prolongation of their exile , —contrary to the good faith of the Turkish government on whom they placed themselves for protection , and contrary to the hopes and wishes of the civilized world . That your memorialists respectfully and earnestly implore your lordships , for the sake of the honour of England , from a sense of justice and humanity , and for the interest of Turkey—whose moral power is endangered by being forced to detain Kossuth against his own will—to exert all the influence of Great Britain for thc liberation of Louis Kossuth and his associates in captivity . " And your memorialists , as in duty bound , ite . " Mr . James Hart , in a speech of considerable length , seconded the memorial .

      The Chairman introduced Mr . G . Julian Harney to support the memorial , and passed a high eulogium on him for his consistent and fearless advocacy of ii <; ht against might .. Mr . Harnev , iu supporting the memorial , spoke for upwards of two hours . He gave an account of thc causes which led to the Hungarian struggle for national independence , against their despotic and tyrannical oppresr-ors , reviewed the conduct of Louis Kosssuth and his compatriot , in the part they had taken for the liberation of Hungary , and concluded an able and eloquent address hy a glance at continental politics and the coming struggle . Mr . Harney was greatly cheered in the course of his address . Mr . R . Wixcatb introduced two Hungarian refugees , who san ¦» one of their national songs , which was grcatiy applauded . The Chairman put the memorial to thc vote , which was carried unanimously .

      Mr . J . Gibson moved a vote of thanks to Mr Harney for his talented address , and for his cousis tent advocacy of the People ' s cause . Mr . IIarn'et moved a vote of thanks to the chair man , when the meeting separated .

      MaNSION-IIOUSE . —A Curious Charge . —A voung man named Xhuterton , who keeps a grocery and sp irit store in Edinburgh , appeared upon his own recognisances upon the charge of having in his possession a Bank of England note for £ 50 , which bad been stolen . He had been brought up a few days iiwo by Russell , the officer from the Bank of En "l and , where he had presented the note , payment of which had been stopped . —John Price , servant of Mr . Collingwood , of Cornwall House , North Durham , said : I received two Bank of England notes for £ 50 each , to the best of my belief on Thursday , the 17 th of last month , with direction- to pay them over to William Law , at Edinburgh . I went to Edinburgh on that day , bavin" the notes in my possession , and attended j ? ... !_ Li ill * . * -.. T » . » After

      the theatre that night . I came out of the theatre I met two young women , and walked down Calton-hill with them , and one of them slipped h « r hand into my pocket and took out my purse . I recovered the purse , but the bank notes had disappeared . I saw the comrade of the girl who stole my purse stoop and pick up something , but could not say what it was . I do not know that I ever saw the prisoner at the bar before the present time . — Alderman Wire refused to detain the prisoner upon such testimony , but intimated th-n if the officer of the Edinburgh police , who attended upon the occasion , would pro'tucea warrant for his apprehension , that authority .-hould he backed , ati . l tWciai ; might be regul arly brought before the Edinburgh magistrates . — -Tne Edinburgh officer declined the offer of the alderman , who then discharged the prisoner .

      GUILDHALL . —Omnibus Exactions . —Herrington , a conductor of one ofthe Brompton omnibuses , was summoned for charging more than the regular stated fare . —Miss Itigleuew , of No . 1 , Burleiuhstreet . Strand , said that on Monday , the 7 th July , accompanied by her sister , she got into defendant's omnibus at the end of Sloane-strect , to come to the Bank , having previously asked him what his fire was . He said , to the Bank it was tour-pence . When they got down in the City , Miss Ingledew gave him a shilling , which he detained , and refused to give any chang ? . She then proceeded to take his number , but his conduct was so disgraceful , that in her endeavour to obtain it she was thrown down in

      the middle of tbe road . - Miss Mary Inijledcw was with her sister , and heard defendant say tho fare was fourpence to tbe Bank . —Mr . T . A . Green , a barrister , who witnessed defendant ' s conduct , on tho complainant expressing a de . Mrc to take his number , said that the defendant several times refused to show hia biidge . —Defendant alleged th ; it he took complainant and her sister up about fifty yards on the other side of Sloane-street , and he was bound , in duty to his proprietors , to charge a sixpenny fare . He denied having said his fare was only " fourpence . —Mr . Green snid they were in a great measure deterred from summoning the conductor , on account of the trouble and loss of time

      occasioned by having to go to Scotland Yard , the Excise Office , and this court —Alderman Wilson said this was a most scandalous case , and he would fine defendant twenty shillings and costs , or in default of payment fourteen days' imprisonment , and further suspend his license tor three months . The worthy alderman said he wished it to tie publicly known that , in all cases where parties had any complaint to make against omnibus conductors or drivers , if they would come direct to this court they would he relieved of all further inco venie » CH , as the officers of the court would make all the necessary inquiries at the Excise Office and Scotland Yi . rd .

      Detaining a Bill of Exchange . —Air . Wilkinson , a commission agent , of 38 , ThroginortqifStrect , was sumnioii"d for illegally detaining a bill of exchange for £ 100 , alleged to have been obtained under false pretences . —Mr . Parry stated that the complainant , Mr . Birch , a young man who had lately attained his majority , aud who was grandson to the late Alderman Birch , being entitled to a sum of money under bis grandfather ' s will , at his father ' s death , and seeing an advertisement in a Sunday paper offering to advance money to the the amount of £ 300 , 000 upon good seeuriry , and directing parties to apply to Mr . Wilkinson , he called upon that gentleman for the purpose of negotiating a loan of £ 800 , which it was subsequently agreed should be advanced in eig ht instalments

      within two years , upon the receipt of each of which Mr . Birch was to return to defendant £ 25 by way of commission . The whole amount to In * repaid in two and a half years , and instead of £ 800 he was to pay back £ 1 , 600 , just dou le the amount . Mr . Birch , however , shortly after repented of his bargain , and wrote to the defendant desiring him not to raise the loan , but defendant said he had began and must go on with it . Mr . Birch wrote auain to the same effect , and then came up to town and called on defendant , when he was induced by some means to sign an agreement for the loan . Mr . Birch , beins in want of money at the time , askeil defendant to lot him have £ 50 on his acceptance , and g ave him the bill in question for £ 100 . Mr , Birch never received one farthing upon it , and

      defendant put it in circulation , and then said it was given to him as a remuneration for his services in endeavouring to effect the loan in the first instance . —Alderman Wilson asked if there was any obj-a-tiun on the part of the defendant to give up the bill . — Mr . Macnamara , defendant ' s solicitor , said not the least , provided that Mr . Birch would withdraw the offensive terms made use of in advertising the bill , and pay defendant for his time and truuMu in endeavouring to negotiate the advance of £ 800 . —Alderman Wilson wanted to know why any claim was made for expenses , when what defendant undertook was never performed . —Mr . Macnamara said that it was at Mr . Birch's request t hat the negotiation was broken off . —Alderman Wilson said he would rather sue them arrange the thing arnicably between them , for it was evident that there were faults on both sides . —Mr . Macnamara said he

      was quite willing to settle it , if Mr . Parry would withdraw all the imputations he had cast upon Mr . Wilkinson's character , and would put an advertisement in the papers retracting the terms already alluded to with respect to the obtaining of the bill . —Mr . Parry said he could not do that . lbs was willing to withdraw everything he had said of an offensive character , and to publicly withdraw the words "illegally obtained" that appealed m the papers advertising the bill , and he thought that that ought to be sufficient . —It was subsequently arranged that the bill and all papers relating thereto should be given up , and that Mr . Biroh should pay defendant £ 20 as a remuneration for his services . —Alderman Wilson then discharged the case , and recommended Mr . Birch , when lie wanted money again , to go to the proper quarter , and not be led away by" such announcements as that which had brought him there .

      Assault . —James Caldwell , a genteel-dressed man , about fifty years of a-ie , who stated that he was a presbytorian minuter of Siocktnn-oii-Tees , was charged with indecently assaulting several men at a " late hour on Monday night . —The prisoner was convicted on one of the charges , and [ deaded in extenuation that he was unconscious of whnt he did .

      reading a manual of devotion . He decoyed two of the children into a plantation , under pretence of telling them the names of the flowers ; and , having sat between them on the flower-beds , proceeded t " commit the offence alleged against him . Suspecting that he was observed , he snatched up the child , who endeavoured to escape , and removed her further into the interior . The child struggled to escape , and her clothes were t » rn in the endeavour . The park'kcepi r came up , with Mr . Barrett , just as prisoner was repeating the outrage , and took him into custody , when ho assured them that he was a person of such moral and devout princples as to render him utterly incapable of committing such an offence , in confirmation of which he pulled out and exhibited a Prayer-book and two other religious publications . —Fined £ . 5 , or to he committed for two months to the House of Correction , and also to find bail to be of good behavioui for six mouths .

      dale , and tho Lady Falkland , C ? . pt . Smith , both belonging to the Same OwiiOrs at Glasgow , arrired a Mtramichi from England on the 11 th of May-The four first named prisoners , who belonged to the Broom , deserted , and ran into the wood , and thirteen of the crew of the Lady Falkland also deserted , so that Capt . Smith had to recruit for hands the best way he could , getting men . from the lodginghouses and the bush . Amongst others ho got the four first , whom he did not know to have belonged to the Broom , out of the Bush , and the four others ho got on shore , giving them £ 11 and £ 12 for the run , with the exception of Meech , whom he engaged at £ S as an ordinary seamen . When starting , on thn 17 th of June , he was compelled to pay them before signing or sailing , they becoming exceedingly

      insubordinate , and positively refusing to work . Their conduct was exceedingly mutinous during thc whole voyage . They cursed the ship and every one in it , and conducted themselves in a most disgraceful manner . Whilst the vessel was off Graveaend they were exceedingly turbulent , refusing to weigh anchor , shouting out" murder , " and calling to the boats of other > h \ ps to take them off , offering to pay them for doing so . They would not weig h anchor unless paid additionally , and when promised payment tbey demanded the money down , notwithstanding the remonstrances of Mr . Reed , the Trinity pilot . They at . length became so outrageous that inspectors Griffin and Judge , of the river police , ha . i to be sent for , and they were given into custody . —For the defence it was urged that the men were

      dissatisfied because of the deficiency of provisions , but on the other hand it was shown that there was only a deficiency of flour , whilst all the other stores were in abundance . —Mr . Yard ley , after commenting severely on the conduct of the prisoners , sentenced Wood , wh « was a ringleader , to eight weeks' hard labour , and th- others to four weeks each , with the exception of W .

When she found that her money was gone , she , in the first instance , mentioned it to her husband , and he asked her how she could be such a fool as to place it where she did . — Sophia Btford stated that she was a servant at the house , and had been so four years . She slept with her mistress , and knew that she had a large sum of money concealed under her bed . Could not say whether the prisoner was also aware of this fact .

      She had seen him come out of her mistress ' s bedr oom , two or three times ; the last time was three weeks ago , but never asked him what business he had in the apartment . Tho day before the prisoner was discharged by her mistress , she heard a loud knocking in his ( prisoner ' s ) room , into which she soon afterwards entered , and found that a box of his was ti ghtly nailed up—Baldock , who apprehended prisoner , said that he found no money in his boxes , and only £ 7 on him . —Prisoner , who protested his innocence , was remanded , The magistrate expressed his readiness to accept bail .

Constantine , artificial flower merchant , 135 , Regent-street , was charged with having embezzled monies received on account of his employer to a large amount . —M . Constantine proved that the prisoner had been in his service for three ye ^ rs at a weekly salary of £ 2 . His business was to collect money , and to pay over each day all the money he collected , The prisoner a few days ago was absent from indisposition , and application having been made by one of the workwomen for an account presumed to be owing by L-uly Grey and Lady Howard de Walden , it was

      then discovered th ; it those accounts had heen received by the prisoner some time back , and that he had never accounted for the money . The prisoner was charged with his delinquency , and he at once made an unreserved confession of his guilt . The prisoner afterwards furnished a list of accounts he had collected and embezzled , which showed thatthe amount was not less than £ 300 , and that the offence extended over three years . Among the accounts embezzled were those of her Majesty the Queen £ 11 5 s ., Lady Howard de Walden £ 24 , the Duchess of Sutherland , & c—The prisoner was remanded until next Tuesday .

      A Hard Case . —Ann Hicks , who will be remembered by a considerable portion ofthe public as the former bustling , burly keeper of the cake shop in the cottage in Hyde-park , was charged with selling eatables near the Crystal Palace . She now appeared woe . bogone and shabby , bearing a basket of three-a-penny cakes , —The sudden transformation in her condition had been effected by the Woods and Forests , according to her own statement , in this way : —Her grandfather about a century ago had the good fortune to assist in extricating George II , from the Serpentine , and as a reward for his service ho was permitted to have a stand in the park . He kept this stand for sixty-nine years , and left it to her father , who had it for forty-nine years more . She came into possession of the stand , having attended it over since she was live years of age , some years ago , and , as she said , she never

      earned a shilling anywhere else up to last November , she being nqw between forty and fifty years of age . In consequence of tbe length of time the stand had been established , her good character , and the veal service it afforded to ladies who might desire ; i glass of cool water in summer , Lord Lincoln about seven years ago gave her permission to build the stone lodge at tho foot ofthe Serpentine , and to occupy it in tho same manner as she had occupied tho stand . The lodge cost her the whole savings of her life , £ 130 . In October last , having heard of the intended erection of the Crystal Palace near her lodge , she thought its proximity lo the Exibition might be turned to account in affording accommodation to ladies , and she drew up a petition to the Woods and Forests , which was signed hy forty of her lady customers , setting forth her wishes . To her surprise she received this answer : —

      " Lord Seymour has received Mrs , Hick ' s application , dated the 22 nd ultimo . As Mrs . Hicks is awave she has been served with a notice to quit and deliver up possession of the place she occupies , Lord Seymour conceives the serving of that notice to be an answer to her application . The Board havo immediate occasion for her removal , and they can do nothing therefore to assist her in extending the accommodation of her present dwelling . Lord Seymour was prepared to recommend the board to make an allowance to Mrs . Hicks for house rent for a short period after her removal , in the event of he- complying with tho notice served upon her . Of course , if the board are driven to any expense in taking legal steps in dispossessing her , she must abide the consequences . Office of Woods and

      Forests , Sov . 1 , 1850 . "—Notices were immediatelv served on iier , and she further received written orders from Lord Seymour and tho Duke of Wellington , commanding her to quit the place . She di < i not give up possession , and on the 11 th Mr . Mann , the surveyor , visited her and told her , if she did riot go the commissioners would do nothing for her . She still kept possession , and a more peremptory notice was sent , to the effect that all persons who had stands in the park were to be turned out , and that if she did not go away at once the roof would be taken off and the place pulled about her ears . In this extremity she wrote again to Lord Seymour , with no better success . She was at last ejected , the lodge pulled down , and , in return for tho money she had expended in building it , the amount of twelve months' lodging at os . a week was g iven her . She applied for compensation for the materials of hov

      house . Sixteen letters were written , but no notice whatever was taken of Item . She laid her case befnre the Queen , and she received this reply _ " Buckingham Palace . —Madam . —I am directed ' bv Colonel l'hipps to express the Queen ' s regret that the very numerous pressing claims on ' her Majesty ' s private bounty prevent a compliance with the r-.

He added that he had before given himself

      into custody under similar circumstances , but was not prosecuted . —Mr . Smith now stated that , prisoner was in his employ as town traveller . About three weeks aao , he . without any notice , gave himself up on the same charge ; but as he was very respectably connected , Mr . Smith declined prose cuting , and re-employed tho prisoner .

A short conversation ensued , during which the prisoner stated that he had not sufficient money in his possession to get hack to Colchester , and becged for a small loan upon his watch , which he proposed to leave as security , as he did not like either to sell or pawn it . Tho prosecutor then questioned him more closely respecting his acquaintance with Colchester , and soon discovered that he knew little or nothing about the town or

      townspeople . He said , for example , that his bro ther , William Smith , was a voter in the parish of St . Mary-in-the-East , there being neither a parish nor a voter of that description . Eventually , Mr . Hardcastle , suspecting the man ' s purpose , sent for a policeman and gave him into custody , upon which the prisoner confessed his dishonesty , avowed his contrition , and begged for forgiveness . —Tho prisoner repeated t' -e admission before his worship , and declared that he had never been in a police court before .

Both Young and Murrell at that time were in witness ' s employ , the latter as his private clerk . When a letter was directed to the post-office , it was placed in a pigeon-hole amongst others . Near these pigeon holes Murrell usually sat of an evening , and must at times have been left alone . He had made the declaration upon oath taken by every servant ofthe post-office , On the oth of October Young resigned , and Murrell succeeded bim . On the 21 st of November the Inspector-General of Post-offices came down to Gravesend to have the office searched , as there had been many complaints about the loss of letters . — Other witnesses were examined , and tbe prisoners were committed .

Prices generally , perhaps are n »| lower , but in qualities of yam and cotton not m "'' ' request business can only be effected to any exten t by a litthi concession . Yarns of v ry low numbers . in request , and the prices of this description of spin " ' !? : are tolerably firm . The priv te len . rs to caninierr'a ' houses here by the overlan mail confirm the p"iW «'" ' ' reports or the state of the India markets , and arc an ! iarational source ot d < -presMnu in the coeds usiia '" * ported to the East .
