'About twelve o ' clock last night tile constable who preferred the charge saw the three defendants going along the footpath of the street , evidently mush the worse for liquor , and on several occasions

      rapping with the knodiers of the doors as they went along , ¦ with the olgect of disturbing the inmates . The constable expostulated with them , and advised them to go home , Tvl . en one of them gave the crown of the officer ' s hat a blow , with the object of knocking it orer his eyes . The policeman , apprehending rough treatment with such odds against him , made an alarm for assistance , and two other ¦ policemen immediately eame up , The defendants were . about to scamper ofij when the three " Charleys" each Tfezzcd bis man , and dragged tnem to the station .

TrehiTKC . the surgeon , who on his arrival cut the handkerchief , and administered some restoratives to the prisoner , whom he said must have been dead in another . five minutes . Mr . liurrcll asfecd with evident surprise if no assistance had been previously rendered the prisoner ?

      The witness burst into a loud laugh , aud replied in the negative . There were only women in the house , and they were all too frightened . Mr . Kurrell reproved the witness f « rher unseemly behaviour , aud said had the prisoner cied the inmates ot the house would have been much to hlame . He wished to know wh y the prisoner should attempt to destroy himself ?

In the year 1839 she became acquainted with the prisoner , and was married on the 28 th September in that year , at tue Abbey Church , St . Albau ' S . About six weeks after the marriage she heard he had another wife liriiig , and taxed him with having deceived her . lie

      denieditstrongly , but twodays afterwards he lefther . and she never saw or heard of him until that day , when happening to be in town with her son by her first and only lawful husbaud , she sent him on an errand to the London Dock , aud he fell in with the prisoner , by accident , close to the gates ot that establishment , and gave him into custody . During the short time he remained with her he made away with all her property , under a bill of sale , to the amount of £ 1000 , and left her penniless .

Harriet M'Quillan , wife to the proprietor of the Blakency ' s Head public-house , Shorter-street , Wellclosc-square . The complainant , who had her head bandaged up , appeared exceedingly weak . Mr . Pelham attended for the prosecution . On Monday last the prisoner , who is a farrier by trade , went with some of his mates to the Blakeney ' s Head , and was drinking until half-past eight o ' clock . Seeing that they became noisy and somewhat the worse for liquor , they were refused to be served with any more , upon which the prisoner swore he would serve himself , and jumped twice upon the bar , but was put back . lit then went into the tap-room , but soon came back again , sayiug he should get a gallon of beer or he'd have tin

      counter up . Mrs . M'QuiUan and her husband were then at the bar , and the prisoner , who was opposite them , flung a quart pewter pot , which struck complainant on the forehead , just above the left eyebrow . The force of the blow was in a slight degree broken by the pot first touching the bonnet of a person named Anne Badland , whom Mrs . M'Quillan was serving at the time . The blood immediately spirted out , and complainant exclaimed , " I ' ve lost my eye ; " but Mrs . Badland said , "No , you are only bliuded with the blood . " The prisoner then made his escape through the window . —Mrs . M'Quillan wished the magistrate to treat the case summarily , as all she wanted vraa that the prisoner vrould enter into sureties not to enter her house again . —Mr . Pelham said this request -was made under apprehension by his client , who dreaded violence from the prisoner ' s associates if he were committed . A person c&U « & on her on flic previous night and advised her not to appear against Barrett , as he was a desperate

      man , and would murder her . —Mr . Broderip said the case was too serious a one to be dealt with summarily , as the law would protect her against any apprehended violence . —The prisoner , in his defence or palliation , said he was so drunk at the time that he did not know what he was about , and he was now -very sorry for it . —Mr . Broderip told him his sorrow came too late . His drunken violence might have hurried the complainant to an untimely grave . It was fortunate for the prisoner that the bonnet of the -woman Badland had in some degree broken the force of the blow , and that the missile took effect upon the brow , and not nearer to the temple , or he might be standing at the bar to plead for his life . Drunkenness could not be received as an excuse for such violence , and the prisoner must put in bail , himself in £ 10 , and two sureties in £ 20 each , to appear aud take his trial at the sessions . The requisite bail was put in in the course of the day .

      HOUSE OF LORDS , FnnuT , jV |> ^ ] "Privilege" and Railway matters occ " -pMt ^ ^^ j of their lordships this evening , divc ^ fflcd b ^ mountc . hank antics of Lord Broughar , who asusu : li aii talk . HOUSE OP LORDS , Mosdat , July 14 . The question of privilege jrtive rise to a discussion of some length . Mr . llarlow and his attorney appeared at the bar of tho house , and stated that fiw ground of action ngainst Mr . Bilker wan evidence lie had given before a select committee of the House of Lords , which the plainj tiff considered to have been both malicious aud injurious to his character , 1 The Loud Chaxceilok then moved that the action was I a urcadnsCthe privileges of-their lordships' house . I After some discussion the motion was agreed to . I It was then moved that Mr . Harlow , the plaintiff , and I his attorney , be committed to the custody of the Black Rod , which was asreed'to .

      The remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned . Tuesday , Jui-t 15 . Lord Stanley announced that it was not his intention to proceed further with the Irish Tenants Compensation Bill this session .

      " PRIVILEGE . " Lord Bkougium presented a petition from John Harlow , now in custody , stating that since the publication of the report of the committee before which Mr , Baker gate evidence , the petitioner had suffered in Ms trade and Character by the circulation of that report ; that proceedings in a criminal court were at that time pending in relation to the matter to which Mr . Baker ' s testimony referred , and Mr . Baker was afterwards examined as a witness in those proceedings , but never attempted to prove what he had stated before the committee ; that the statement was false and untrue , and the pet ' . tiouer trusted the hoiisa would be graciously pleased to make some allowance for his feelings being so wounded ; that he would not have

      taken the present proceedings if he had been aware of their beiug a breach of privilege , and he had accordingly instructed his solicitor to withdraw the actien ; and the petitioner humbly expressed his extreme regret at having committed a breach of privilege , and hoped the house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence he had so unintentionally committed . The noble and learned lord added , that it was impossible to express greater contrition for the grave and inexpiable oifencc of having resorted to the law of the land . It was not known by the petitioner to be a crime ; it was known . only to Parliament ; it had never been promulgated in any law . He moved that John Harlow lm discharged out of custody on payment of his fees—for so , ha was sorry to say , it must be .

      The Lobd Chancellor , on the facts stated in tho petition , was willing to accede to the motion . As the noble and learned lord was not acting as counsel for this person , the latter must not be held answerable for what he had said . ( A . laugh . } Lord Campbell concurred in discharging the petitioner , as he had expressed his sorrow for committing a breach of privileges , which , however , were so notorious that he thought no man could he ignorant of them . It would be very harsh to make the petitioner responsible for the sarcasms of the noble and learned lord , which now were i ather inopportune . The motion was agreed to ; and

      John Harlow . was then brought to the bar . The Lokd Chancellor said , —You have been guilty of a breach of the acknowledged privileges of this house , in bringing an aution against Thomas Baker for words which he had spoken in the course of giving evidence before one of its committees . For that offence you have been committed to custody . You have presented a petition in which you have expressed contrition ; and you have also stated that you have given orders to discontinue the action . Their lordships are disposed to deal leniently with you , and , therefore , it is ordered that you be discharged out of custod y upon paying your feeSi Mr . Harlow then withdrew .

      Lord Beokguau then said , that after the rebuke he had received from the junior law lord , who had therefore the zeal of a new recruit in the ranks of the peers and the cause of their privileges , he would net fall into the fault again , lest he also should be committed . He had now a j : etition to present from Peter Taite Harbin , the attorney who brought the action . It stated , that before bringing it he submitted a case to counsel with the report of the committee ; that in commencing proceedings he was wholly ignorant that he thereby committed a breach of privilege ; and he begged humbly to express his extreme regret that he had done so , and to state that he had abandoned the proceedings , and hoped the house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence he had unintentially committed . He ( Lord Brougham ) had to move that ho be discharged on payment of his fees . The house would do well not to meddle with the learned counsel , though lie was the adviser and accessory before the fact , The Lokd Chancellor observed , that he did not know who it was ; but if his noble and learned friend chose to move he could do sn .

      Lord Campbell thought quite enough had been done ( "Hear"from Lord Brougham ) , though nothing was to be regretted that had Been done . From the zeal » f his noble and learned friend , he had no doubt he would pay the fees both of the attorney aud the tobacconist . ( A laugh . ) Lord Brougham felt he had done quite enough in keeping his gravity during the operation which had lately been performed . The motion being agreed to , Mr . Harbin was brought to the bar . The Lobd Chancellor . —You have been taken into custody for a breach of the acknowledged privileges of this house . There are circumstances which ' would have led me to suppose fliatyou had advisedly committed that offence , but I will not take upon myself to say that you liave done so , because you state yourself that you did it in i gnorancei You express your contrition for the offence , and that you arc about to proceed to discontinue the action . Under these circumstances their lordships are of opinion that you ought to be discharged upou paying your

      tecs . Mr . Harbin withdrew . Lord Campbell gave notice that early next session , unless the Government should do so , or some peer of greater weight than himself , "the junior law lord , " and almost the junior in their lordships'house ( a laugh ) , he would introduce a bill to enable cither house , on an action being brought in violation of its privileges , to stay it , as was now done in the case of actions brought for publishing papers under the orders of either house . Lord Brougham . —Then there is an cud of the privilege ; that is quite clear . The Foreign Lotteries Bill then went through committee .

      The Earl of Claresdon then breught forward a motion relative to the construction placed by the Government on the treaties of this country with Spain , which construetion had led to the refusal to admit Spanish produce on the footing of that of tlic most favoured nations , while the same personal rights were accorded to Spanish subjects as those of the most favoured nations could lay claim to . The Earl of Aberdeen entered at great length into the spirit of the treaties with Spain , contending that we were not bound to treat Spanish produce on the same favourable terms as Spanish subjects . The Earl of Radnor supported the motion . The Earl of Clarendon replied ; after which Their lordships dividea , and the motion was negatived by a majority of 26 to 14 . The remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned . THunsDAT , July 17 . Their lordships met at five o ' clock .

Under these circumstances he must decline acceding to the suggestions of the lion , gentlemen . After considerable discussion , Colonel Rawdon moved that the bill be committed that day three months . < The house divided , and the motion was defeated by a majority of 90 to 38 .

      Lord Paljiekston then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice , that an humble address be presented to her Majesty , stating that this house have taken into their consideration the papers which , by her Majesty's gracious command , have lately been laid before them , containing copies of a correspondence which has recently taken place between the Spanish minister at her Majesty ' s court and her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , on the subject of a claim made by the Spanish Government , in virtue of the treaties subsisting between the Crowns of Great Britain , and of Spain ; and

      praying her Majesty to direct that the subjects of the Queen of Spain should be permitted to import into the United Kingdom all the productions of the territories or possessions of the Spanish Crown , paying thereupon no higher duties of customs than are paid by the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nations on the importation of like articles , being the production of the territories or possessions of such nations . The noble lord spoke at grunt length in support of his motion , which ivus opposed by Mr . Glixlstonc and others . After a lengthy discussion the house divided , and his motion was negatived by a majority of 175 to 87 .

      Wednesda y , Jul y 10 . The h « use met at 12 o ' clock . LUNATICS BILL , On the motion of Lord Ashley , that the house go into committee ou this bill , Mr . T . Don'comiie presented a petition from a Mr . Walker , surgeon , of Fcntonvillc , against the further pi-ogress of the bill . Mr . T . Duncomise then objected to going into committee in the absence of the right lion , baronet the Home Secretary . The lion , member- was proceeding to make objections to the whole measure , when Sir J . Graham entered , and took his place , ou which Mr . T . Duncombe said , that as the right lion , gentleman was present , he would not offer any objection to the Speaker ' s leaving the chair . The Speaker then left the chair , and the house went into committee . On clause S ,

      Mr . Waiiburton moved to omit all the words after the word "that , " for the purpose of inserting the following : — " Any superannuation allowance to be granted to any paid commissioner appointed , or to be appointed , under this act , shall be granted only as a compensation for services performed under this act , and shall be subject to the provisions of an act passed in the 4 th and Sth of his late Majesty William IV ., in respect of such officers and clerks as might enter the public service after the 4 th day of August , 1820 . " Mr . S . Crawford said , he would object to any superannuation allowance to any commissioner ; and liu cordially joined iu thu hope more than once expressed by his hon . friend ( Mr . T . Duucombe ) , that the bill might be given up altogether . Itr . C . AV . Wvnn and Siv C . Napier were in favour of granting a superannuation allowance . The amendment was then agreed to .

      Mr T . Doncombe then objected to the whole clause as amended , because liu was hostile to the principle of Eupcraniiuiition , more punicuhi'ly when , as was tUo ease in this bill , the commissioners hadenonnoussalaries . Why were not superannuations given to inspectors of prisons ? Ho must take the sense of the committee on this clause , as he was disposed to do on many others of which he had given uotiee . He was driven to this course by the noble lord and the right hon . baronet , who were anxious to force this bill through at sucli a time of the year and in such an attendance of members . Would the right hon . baronet consent-to let the commission be appointed for three years , that they might see how it worked ?

      Sir J . Grauam said he was willing to meet the hon . member in a conciliatory spirit on many of his suggestions ; and he thought it better to go on with the committee , and discuss them as they rose ; but he should deetive the lion , gentleman if he held out any hope that he would consent to change the character of the commission from a permanent to a temporary nature . Mr . Waklev moved a proviso to the effect , that no person bt ) appointed as a paid commissioner whose age should exceed forty-five years by six months . After a short discussion , the proviso was negatived . The committee then divided on the clause . The num bers

      were—For the clause 43 Against it ... 3 Majority 40 The clause was « ien added to tho bill . The other clauses up to clause 9 , exclusive , were passed without discussion . On the 10 th clause ( for giving the secretary a pension ) , Mr , T . Duncombe would not consent to giving this officer a salary of £ 800 a year , aud then after a few years to give him a retiring allowance , Mr . Wakley fully concurred with his lion , colleague in entering his strongest protest against such a wasteful expenditure of the public money , particularly when he recollected the vote which the house had come to the other evening with respect to the able-bodied labourers in Scotland .

      Strangers were again ordered to withdraw , but no division took place , and the 10 th clause was agreed to . & » On our return to the gallery we found the committee proceeding with several amendments , of which the hon . member ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) had given notice , which , having been for the greater part adopted , were ordered to be printed in the bill and brought up with the report . The committee then weutbackto clause 11 , and proceeded with that and the remaining clauses , which , being gone through , with the omission of clause 113 ( which exempted Bethlehem Hospital' from the operation of the bill ) , The house resumed , and the report was ordered to he brought up on Friday next , at twelve o'clock . DRAINAGE ( IRELAND ) BILL . On the motion of SivT . FrcmanUe , the house -went into committee on this bill , and the several clauses having been agreed to , the house resumed , and the report was ordered to be received .

      VALUATION ( IRELAND ) BILL . Sir T . Fremantle moved that this bill be committed . Sir K . Ferguson objected to the bill at that advanced hour , when they would not Have sufficient time for going through more than a clause or two . Ho then moved that the house be counted , mid there being only twentythree members present , the house adjourned . Thursday , July 17 . The house met at twelve o ' clock . TllO Highway Rates Mil was read a third time and passed ; as were also the Militia Ballots Suspension Bill the Loan Societies Bill , the Turnpike Acts Bill , and the Unlawful Oaths ( Ireland ) Bill .

      COMMONS 1 NCLOSURE BJIX . The Earl of Lincoln moved the third reading of this Bill . Colonel Sibtiior ? protested against a Bill of this importance being proceeded with in the haste that marked its progress . He knew it was useless to contend against the determination of the Government , but it might at least have been proposed at that portion of the day when the house was fully attended , and not when the members were sure to be few . Jlr . II . It . Torke supported the Bill , and believed it to be a very useful measure . Mr . SifARMiN Ciiawford opposed the bill as an invasion of the rights of the poor . If , indeed , these commons had been inclosed , and the value of them formed into a fund for the benefit of the poor , there would have bsen some plea of justice for it , and some utility might have followed , but , as it was , it was evidentl y an attempt to increase the property of the rich . There wus no evidence that out of

      the 10 , 000 , 000 of acres of land any of it would be appro priated for recreation , or for allotments for tho benefit of the poor , it should be considered that it was the very poorest portion of the poor who resorted to the commons It was not the commons that made the people poor , but because those who had no other means resorted to the commons for support .

      Wigas MiXEnS . —We have received the following communication ' . —Respected Sir , —Will you be so kind as to insert the following communication from the Miners of the Wigan district , relative to a paragraph which has icoeiitly been going the round of thu Lancashire newspapers ; it is as follows : — " Lancashire Miners . —During the late strike a number of Welsh and Irish Colliers were introduced iuto the collieries of Lancashire and Staffordshire . It appears that in the neighbourhood of Wigan many of the Welsh have given anything but satisfaction to their employors , and accordingly they received notice that they would be paid weekly wages only up to Saturday week last , and alter that time they must work by the piece . This produced a long consultation

      among them , and at length they decided to leave lor Wales on the following Saturday . Accordingly at the appointed time crowds of them presented themselves at the railway station , with their wives and families to take their departure for their home . " Now this statement is in the main accurate , but is far from being the whole truth . It will be roeolloetud that the Miners of Kirkless Colliery , Wigan , were tinder the painful necessity of striking against unjust aggressions made upon their . privileges by the agent who had the superintendence of the works . A great number of Welshmen were introduced into the pit at weekly wages amounting on an average to £ ] 2 s . per week , each man . The poor fellows who had struck were ejected from their homes , and the new

      coiners were put in possession , notwithstanding there was not one farthing of rent due by the men who had struck , the Miners of the surrounding districts having come nobly forward , and paid no less a sum than 4-53 to cancel their debts . For a time things wwit swimmingly on with the black-logs , for it was pretty clear they were giving satisfaction , when they wcrc i ' urnished each day with bread and cheese and a pint of ale . They were giving satisfaction when tools were found them to work with , and furniture for their houses . But , behold ! all at once the proprietor began to be dissatisfied , he having discovered tlievcwas an essential difference beiwcen the sunis of money lie had to pay for the working of his mines with his new hands compared with the sums paid to the men on strike , who could not average above 2 s . 9 d . per day . Notice was consequently given that the bread , cheese , ale , and tools , would be given them

      no longer , but for the future they must work by the piece . Then ( and it is no wonder ) , the black-legs bugan to be dissatisfied too , and determined to go to their own homes . This determination on their part increased the dissatisfaction of the master , and an order was issued that all tools and furniture must be paid for ; this niamialc the miserable serfs peremptorily refused to obey , and the consequence was thu nmlcrlookcr took the major portion of them by the collar , and dragged them out of the office , designating them " a band of robbers . " But now for the most important part of the matter : the "Welshmen having gone , overtures were at once made to the men on strike to return to their employment at an advance of Is . ( id . pet score , thus affording another triumph achieved by the Lancashire Mind's . —1 remain , on behalf of the Miners of the Wigan district , yours , respectfully , John Bkuhv .

The rioters were principally Irish miners and labourers . Bludgeons , sticks , stones , broken heads , Ac , the usual ingredientscf an Irish row , were quite rife : but here ( we presume for the sake of variety ) fire-arms were used to complete the picture . IVe understand some parties have been seriously hurt . The authorities are investigating the affair . Since writing the above , we have made inquiries as to the riot in question , and find that it has been of a more dangerous character than TOflnticipated . It arose from ° somc of those senseless

A meeting of tlic district justices was hew on Moudav , to lake precautionary stops , as the report was current that another row was to take P laee "' at night , in which event special constables would be sworn in .

      most industriously circulated , and the said Noble Duke—who is believed to have vast estates somewhere in Sutherlandshire—having taken no measures whatever to rebut the calumnies , the friends of his Grace have naturally become most anxious as to his whereabout , believing him to have been clandestinely spirited away into some remote cranny of ihe earth where the Times does not circulate . Itis hereby declared that all such parties withholding from the aforesaid Duke a knowledge of the matters bwurfit against him , will k punished according to the high , est penalty of public opinion .

      IIOLSE OF COMMONS , Fmday , Jblt 11 . The house met at twelve o ' clock , iu order to proceed with the committee « n the Lunatics Bill . The house had no sooner been made by the aid of the members attending committees , who withdrew after it was made , than Mr . T . Ddxcoitoe mored tbat the house be counted . There were not forty members present , but the Speaker waited until they had been whipped in from tlic committees . Mr . Duncombe was , however , so strongly opposed to the bill , that he repeated the attempt at counting out more than once , alleging tbat the bUl was too important to be discussed in so thin a house . At length the house being constituted beyond tliepower of being counted out ,

      Mr . Duscombe moved an amendment , to the effect that there was no time during the present session to give full consideration to a measure of such importance , and that it should , therefore , be postponed until the next session . Lord Asiii . Ex then entered into an exposition of the objects of the bUl , stated the frightful magnitude of tho existing evils , and described the way in which it was proposed to protect the unfortunate lunatics from tliaso cruelties to which they had been hitherto exposed . Mr . Dokcohbe contended , at much length , that the bill would be nseless as a protection to lunatics . There were some good provisions in it , but others were so mischievous that hc must take the sense of the house upon the propriety of postponing the bill . After some further discussion the house dirided upon Mr . Duncombe ' s amendment , which was negatived by a majority of CO to 1 . The further consideration of the bill was postponed to Tuesday nevt .

      with chloride of ammonium , which prevents the formation ot tlic insoluble carbonate of lime . The chloride of ammonium is composed . ^ chlorine , ammonia , and hydro , gen , and carbonate of lime of carbonic anil gas calcium and oxygen . The hydrogen of the chloride unites with the oxygen of the c-irbomito , and forms water . The chlorine ot the chloride unites with the calcium of the carbonate , and forms chloride of calcium , a sa ! t which perhaps is one of the most soluble compounds known , and the carbonic acid ot the cavbonato unites with the ammonia of the chloride , forming carbonate . of ammonia , a compound so volatile that it is driven oif iu the shape of vapour , and thus the incrustation of steam-boilers is entirel y prevented .
