      of making profits which other persons would be prevented doing . The lion , gentleman then gave notice of sereral amendments he Intended to propose in the \ arioua clauses of the bill when it went into coMGiittee . And he expressed the hope , " as Mr . "Wiiliams might see , there was no chance of going into committee this evening , he would consent to name some other day far that purpose . The snbject was one of a mixed religious and social nature , and was surrounded with great difficulty , he trusted therefore th ; it ttie house would agree to the amendment of his hon . and learned friend Mr . Anstey . Mr . Le . v . vard being of opinion that the informatioa possessed b y the house was very imperfect , and that other business of more importance should be proceeded with , would move that the debate be now adjourned . The gallery was cleared for a division , but none took place . Mr . WiLiuiB consented to the postponement- or , V "" " - " '

      the bill for a fortnight . The other orders having been disposedof , Mr . Hvlleigs obtained lea .-e to bring in a onl to « xtend the acts for the commutation of manorial richts , for the extinguishment of heiibts and reliefs , and of rig hts of lords of manors to timber and trees on land / parcel off any manner , and for the gradual enfranchisement of Iand 3 of copyhold or customary tenure ; and also for extinguishing free rents , reliefs , duties , and services payable or to be perfor ated in respect of freehold lands parcel of any

      maio . * . The hou 3 e adjourned at half-past five . THURSDAY , Mat 1 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The housemet at sik o ' clock , when Sir G . Gbey bronght in the government bill for supplying water to the metropolis , which was read a first time and referred to the private bills committee , and an order was made postponing the sitting of the committees on all bills for supplying London with water to the 27 th of May . Sir G . Grey stated , in answer to a question frem Mr . W . Williams , that the Board of Health had hitherto failed in their efforts to obtain possession by private arrangement of the metropolitan cemeteries for the purpose of putting a stop to intramural interments , but they hoped yet to succeed in some instances , and in others they would resort to the powers entrusted to them by law .

      Oath of Ahjuration ( Jews ) Bill . — . Lord "J . Russell then mov . 'd the second reading of the Oath of Abjuration ( Jews ) Bill , which was met by Mr . ^ EWDEOITE with an amendment for patting off that fitage of the measure for six months . Mr . Koebdck spoke in favour of the bill , and strongly animadverted on the bigotry of those who , assuming the religion in which they had been educated was the right one , refused equal civil privileges to those who had been educated in a different religion . . ¦ Mr . Wigrah contended that as the majority of the eonntry was Christian , the Legislature ought not to admit to the governing body any who were opposed to Christianity .

      The Solicitor General supported the bill , upon the broad principle that , when you imposed upon any class the burdens of citizenship , you were tound to extend to them all the rights and privileges of that position . Referring to the Great Ex-Hbition , he remarked that those who came to take part in it , knew that the political superiority which they envied was owing , in a great measure , to the respect which was always paid to public opinion in this country—and seeing how strongly public opinion had been expressed on this subject , he should indeed regret , whatever might be the advance made by us in arts and manufactures , if in this particular we had retrogaded , and fallen back on the insolence and bigotry of power ..

      SitILIkqlis spoke of the property qualification as being equally opposed to the enjoyment of that right of citizenship which consisted in a seat in Parliament as the oath which prevented Mr . Rothschild from sitting in that house . He was opposed to the Jews being admitted to political or municipal offices , and suggested that those of that persuasion who were dissatisfied with those disabilities which the constitution of this country imposed upon them , might leave it . He opposed the roll , as being at variance with the Christian character of the country .

      Mr . J . A . Smith urged that Mr . Pease had been allowed to draw out and sign a declaration which was taken in lien of the oath at that time required from quakers . and he thought the same course should have been followed in the case of Baron Rothschild . He repudiated an insinuation thrown ont by Mr . Newdegate , that the baron was indebted to bribery for his return , contending that "Where there was a majority of 3 , 000 , it was absurd to talk of bribery . The Jews had entitled themselves to the enjoyment of civil rights by the conscientious and faithful discharge of their civil duties . Mr . Goulbtos opposed the bill , -which he said "Went further than either of the previous bills on the came subject , for it proposed to admit Jews not merel y to parliament but to every office in the land , -even to those from which Roman Catholics were etill excluded .

      Mr . AssTE ' r followed in support of the bill . Col . Sibthorp having intimated his intention to vote against the bill , -Lord J . Russell remarked that the question in some respects assumed a different aspect from that in which it had presented itself on former occa . sons . The House of Commons had hitherto refrained from altering the oath so as to admit the Baron Rothschild out of deference to the Lords , and not wishing to appear to be taking on them , selves the functions of a legislature , but having done this they had a right to expect that the Lorda would now pay deference to the wishes of the Bouse of Commons and the ri ghts ofthe constituent Body . The question was , were the 40 , 000 J « ws in this country to remain under a badge and stigma on account of their religious opinions , while political rights were given to" the members of all other religious persuasions ?

      On a division the second readme was carried by 202 to lTJ . The Civil Lists , &c . ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . Some other bills were forwarded a stage , and the house adjourned at a quarter past twelve .

Arnold , charged with'the following determined attempt to destroy herself *—William Phillips , a chair-maker , in Holywell-hine , Shoreditch , stated that the prisoner and her husband had lodgedfor Borne time in his house , with their four children , and she had always conducted herself with propriety and decorum until a few weeks since when she suddenly displayed an unusual wildness and eccentricity in her conduct and deportment which induced a suspicion that her mind was

      affected . On the morning of Thursday last while engaged in his workshop adjoining the bed-room occupied / bythe prisoner , heSiis alarmed by the sound of a heavy fall in her apartmehtv followed by an exclamation of ¦ " Oh God , my child ! " and ' oii hastening into her room / he found the prisoncr lyinc upon the floor , with blood streaming from her mouth and nose , and upon rajsing her lie observed a piece of ribbon tied tightly round her neck and it was manifest that she had been attempting to hang herself , as there was a chair placed immediately underneath a beam in the ceiling to which was secured the opposite end of the stones which had no doubt : broken under her weight On questioning her as to . the motives tor committing suoh actshe onlanswered

      an , y with a feeble moan and finding that she was fast sinking into a state oi ' insensibility , he sent for a surgeon iu the neighbourhood , who advised her immediate removal to the hospital . ! The prisouer ' s husband , : ' a decentlooking man , who was much affected , i said that he lias utterly at a ^ loss to account for the recent alterations in the conduct and condition of his wife , who had always previously conducted herself in the most irreproachable manner to himself and his children ; but without any apparent cause , she had latterly given way to a settled despondency , and displnyed otherBymptoms , whichgava him greatvfears that she was labouring under mental aberration . — Mr . Arnold said , that it was a great pity , hb the witness ' s attention had been directed to the

      woman s melancholy condition , that he had not taken some effectual means- for her ' protection , and he could not consent to her diaoharge without having a sufficient guarantee to Insure her safety , —After an earnestSassuranco from the husband that he would exercise such a strict supervision over her aB should prevent the recurrence of such an act , the magistrate ordered the wife to be discharged upon his entering into recognizances for her good behaviour for the next six months . : ; Assault . —Mr . Joseph Samuels , ' who ¦ stood charged with an aggravated assault upSh his mother ' s servant , a young girl , namffl Elizabeth

      THAMES . —Gambling . —Joseph Joshua Cushiri , of 23 , Baok Church-lane , Whitecha ' pel , appeared before Mr . Yafdley , to answer a summons , on the complaint of . Inspector Ellis , of the H division , for knowingly permitting unlawful gambling in- his house . —This was a complaint under the 44 th ' section of the Police Act ( the 2 nd and 3 rd Victoria , chap , it ) , and it appeared that numerous complaints had been made by the inhabitants of Whitechapel and the surrounding locality , that the" defendant encouraged children to gamble in his house , and that many of them bad been ruined by the bad habits they had contracted in CuBhin ' fl shop . ¦ On Sunday morning last , in consequence of information , Police-Sergeant Eves , U H , and Dunaway , a constable .

      No . 129 H , went to Oushin ' s "dolly shop , " as it was termed ,. where quantities of sweetmeats wfere exposed for sale , and several boys playing ' at' a game of chance caljed '' dolly dodge / ' by which the * defendant was enabled to deprive them otAftfir money ; The gambling machine was ori ^ he ' ciiuii ter , and consisted of a spiral figure called a"doHy , " and a circular board with small holes grooved-out ' in it , in which numbers were painted . ' ¦ The stakes were only a penny a side ,-.. and eaoh juvenile was provided by the . defendant withamarble , which was dropped in the interior of the figure , and rolled down to the board ^ and lodged in one of the holes . If the boys won they were rewarded with a piece of hardbake , or some other sweatmeat , a bun , or a

      bottle of ginger beer . The marble , however , had a marvellous disposition for rolling into a hole in which eome low : number waa painted , and in that case the young adventurers got nothing at all . — Mr . lardley asked if any of the children ever won ? —Dunaway replied , in the affirmative ; but when they did all they obtained for their penny was a sweetmeat , or a bottle of stuff called gingerbeer . If the marble did not roll into the right hole the defendant retained his' customer ' s penny and' gave nothing in return . One little urchin won , and was rewarded with a piece > of sweet stuff ; two other boys , who each staked a penny , got nothing . —Sergeant Eves . said ; he had seen children from six to fourteen : years of age gambling at the "dolly , "

      which was a very profitable game for the defendant . —Mr . Yardley had no doubt it was . The winners , however , were almost as badly off as the losers ; The defendant never lost . —The defendant said ,. he had not kept the ?? dolly " more than six weeks . He thought it no harm to indulge children in little p lay ; . those who werein his shop on Sunday morning had been out all night , and wanted refreshment . ?—Mr . Yardley said , the gambling carried on in the defendant ' s shop was decidedly illegal , and could not be tolerated . The defendant set up a strange excuse when he said he took the children ' s money because they had . been out all ni ght . The case was made out ,. and ne fined the defendant 20 s . and costs , and in default of payment committed him to prison for eight days . . ' • : •' .

      THE REFUGEES AND THE PRESS , We give the following from the Refugee Circular : " So much misrepresentation exists in the country respecting the conditions on" which the refugees left Turkey —( occasioned by tho falsehoods so industriously circulated by a portion of the Liverpool press ) , —that we deem it advisable to reprint Major Wolynski ' 8 "Answer to the article whioh appeared in the Liverpool Mercury , of March 7 th , 1851 . * . . "I may not pass over the mis-stttements which I am informed are to be met with in the different Liverpool papers , more especially as they affect our honour ( dear to every soldier ) , and place bur intentions in a false light before , the English public , to whose sympathy and opinion we cannot be indifferent . ¦ ..........

      " When , after a sir week ' s voyage , -we arrived at Liverpool , I from the first thought it best not to communicate our intentions as to the future to any agent of a Colonisation Society ; and I cannot tell , therefore , how it could be known to any such agent that it was our firm intention to emigrate to America . Our resolution to remain in Europe had been made long ago , as a part of the duty whioh we owe to our country . We considered America only as a last refuge , and we did not keep that secret from the British Ambassador , Sir Stratford Canning . We told him plainly that our wish was to land at Liverpool , with which he complied , with no other view than that those who deemed it better to remain in England should do so .

      " Our democratic countrymen were long ago perfectly aware of our intention , as we had acquainted them with it when we appealed to them , as friends , toassistusonourlanding . in finding the" means of support . Our venerable countryman , M ; Stanislaus Worcell , came to Liverpool , on being informed by ua of our arrival at the Irish port of Kinsale ; from all which it may easily be » een that we did not need any persuasion to stay in Liverpool ; and that Mr ; WorceU ' 8 object was no other than t 6 welcome his countrymen and companions in exile , and to render us his assistance in a strange land . ' But the object of certain philanthropists waB to persuade U 8 to go to America , a promised sum for every one enlisted being held out as an inducement . The Hungarian gentleman and his companion were careful to explain to us the happiness which awaited us in America , and to show the state of this country in the worst light . : ...

      " Lastly , it is necessary for me to correct the imperfect knowled ge of the Hungarian gentleman with regard to our organisation . In the time of the Hungarian campaign , I was commander of two squadrons of Lancers in the Polish legion } but when we went into exile , our military institutions were succeeded by civil organisation . At the head of ihe Refugees is a Committee composed of seven members , elected b y the majority ; and I am not the chief of the Refugees , but only a member ofthe Committee . • ' ' "All , therefore , that the Hungarian gentleman stateslabout my commandershi p , as well as about the willingness to go to America manifested by me , or b y my companions , or about the change of determination produced b y Mr . Worcell ' s visit on board of ship , is , to Bay the least , totally incorrect . "Iam , Sir , yours , " Thadkcs Wowkski . ?'

Att empted Suicides . — Three persons were brought before the Lord Mayor , for having attempted self-destruction . : One of them , an industrious bricklayer ' s labourer , aged nineteen , had taken the pledge against strong liquors , and kept it eleven months twenty-seven dayB , and was then tempted to swallow a dodger of gin , which led to another , and finally to the most intolerable compunction . He was found in an out-house hanging from abeam .

      round which he had tied a silk handkerchief , which he had tightly fixed round his neck . A minute or two more would certainly have finished his earthly career . The second person charged was a common labourer ,. who appeared while at the bar , to suffer excessively from , delirium tremens . ' He had been drinking gin , and he walked into an unfrequerted part of the house , which appeared to him to be a fit place in which to perpetrate the dreadful act . he contemplated . He , too , was cut down when completely senseless . He was described as black in the face , and with eyes starting from their sockets . — Tho ; fir 8 tof these unhappy men thanked God for haviqg been saved , and ascribed tbe inclination to suicide to nothing" but the glass , '' which hesaid waa the

      only thing that-made him mad . The second said he was in employment , and that he had no recollection of any attempt to do violence to himself—that in fact he should never have entertained such a thought if he had not taken a drop extra . —The third suicidal attempt was made by a young woman ; the servant . in a house in Gracechurch-street , and the complaint was made by her master , who said that she had acted , in . ill probability , under tho impression that her mistress would discharge her , in consequence' of her having received the frequent visits of a young man , who paid his addresses to her in the absence of the family . Upon being spoken to upon the subject , she said she would drown herself , and when her master prevented her from

      leaving the house to dispose of herself in that way , 8 hevran . up stairs , with the intention , as he believed , of thro wing , herself into the street . —The threo prisoners . were remanded .

In the latter part of January , at about half-past three o ' clock , to the best of his recollection , she went outwiththe master .. It was in the afternoon . The master returned at a quarter , twenty minutes , or half-past' eight o ' clock in the evening , in the first ijiBtance alone . Witness opened the door to him ,. ' Mr . Eaton asked if the girl Eliza Smith had conde in , or something to that effect . —Mr . Ballantjrie suggested for him to repeat what he said in the firstperson . Witness ; He said , " Haveyoii seen the girl Smith , or has the girl Smith come m ? " I said , No , sir . " He appeared as if he had suddenl

      y missed the girl . He turned round and went from the gate , croBBed over the road by the timber yard just opposite the workhouse . He returned in about two minutes . Witness then closed the gate . He returned again in . about two minutes . . The girl Eliza Smith was with him . Mr . Eaton made no remark . The Southampton Arms is not far from the workhouse . rrBy Mr . Huddleatone . —I leave off duty at nine o ' clock at night . It was half an hour before leaving off duty that Mr .

      all that took plaoe on that occasion . Witness put 'a great many questions to them , all of which they answered . ' They were taken down in writing by Mr . . Sestpn . Mrs . Price wa » examined . Witness asked her whether she had received any money from the girl Smith ; ahe said she ] had received 2 s . 6 d ; Asked her when ; 6 he said the doy after she returned from HampBtead with Mr . Eaton . She was quite sure it was the day after she returned from Hamp-Btead , and hot the day after she returned from Bervice . Don ' t believe that Mr . Eaton made any observation or statement with reference to the 2 s . ' 6 d . the girl alleged to have been given to her . —By Mr .

Pancras , the prisoner Humphrey came behind him and struck him a violent blow on the hack of the neck , and he then saw him put his hand into his pocket and pull something out of it , but he could not see what it was . He then struck him ( witness ) Beveral times ,. and one blow which . was given on his left shoulder oauBed his arm to drop powerless by his side .

      . MARYBOROUGH STREET . —Selling Beer at the Exhibition . —J . Bartholomew and J . Furzer , two young men in the eniplby of Mr . Street , landlord of the" Trevor Arms , Knightsbridge , were charged with unlawfully aelliiig beer in Hydi-park , contrary to the act 2 and 3 Viet ., o . 47 , s . t— Mr . T . W . Hall , cashier to Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors , said that he was instructed to appear against the defendants by Mr . Digby Wyatt , the secretary to the Executive Committee of the Crystal Palace , in consequence of the defendants persisting in selling beer in the vicinity of the Crystal Palace , notwithstanding the caution they received from the magistrates on Tuesday last . On Saturday afternoon the defendants were in the

      parts , near the CrjBtal Palace , selling beer , which they had-with them in large cans . As they had been previously convicted of a similar offence , he gave them in charge . —The defendants , said they were not in tho park at all with their beer cans . They were outside the park railing when one of the workmen at the building called to them for a pint of beer , which was supplied to him , and as they were leaving the building . Mr . Hall gave them in charge . —Mr . Hardwick said he explained the law fully to them when they were brought before'bim on Tuesday last . On that occasion , in consequence of their promising not to offend again , he let them off with a slight fine . . As a caution to them for the future , he should fine them 40 sY each .

      A Distressed' Pole . —A foreign person presented the following , note to Mr . Hardwick : — ' Monsieur le Magistral , —P $ re ' des malheureux V 0 U 8 aurez la bont 6 de pardonner ^ un infortune exule . Ne pouvant rien avoir de la Bociete , etant Bans travail et ne connaissant pas le langue de ce pays . ' Sans chemises et autres effets , je me trouve dans urie affreuse position . Ayant entendu do votre bonte , je viens vous supplier , d ' avoir piti 6 de moi , en me secournt comme il vous plaira . Dieu vous rendra votre charite et la reconnaissance sera eternelle . Je suis avec respect , Joseph Mierzei wii , LiE , R 6 fugi 6 Polonais . "—Mr . Harkwick put some questions to the app licant , and elicited that he had taken refuge in France , some time agobut

      , having got his passport vis ed for Lyons about a fortnight ago . As soon aB he reaohed Lyons he was placed in the custody ot a gendarme , taken to Boulogne , and from thence compelled to go to England . Being without work or friends , and in a state ofutter destitution , he had written the above note , in the hope of obtaining some temporary assistance . —Mr . Hardwick requested the applicant to wait for a short time , and then , sent an officer to the Polish Society with a message relative to the application . —M ; Sulzcouski , the secretary , made his appearance , and having been informed of the treatment the applicant had sustained at the hands of the French authorities , said this was an exceedingly common case . For some time past it had been tbe

      open practice of the French authorities to clear their country of idle , profligate , or criminal foreigners by sending them to England . He believed that not fewer than 800 doubtful oharacters had been within a limited period sent to this country . This practice would account for the appearance of the applicant here , who , though with a passport to Lyons , was compelled , when he got to that city ,, to leave it , and to embark at Boulogne for England . The French government had doubtless found that the applicant was without visible means of subsistence , and had , in the customary way , provided means for getting him out of France into England . —Mr . Hardwick said , it was a mon-¦ trous system to convert England into the Botanv

      Bay of foreign countries . —The secretary said the practice of Bending foreigners to England was not confined to France . The society had ascertained that Polish refugees had been sent from Hamburgh and from Switzerland here under the . same circumatances . ' With reapeot to the applicant , it was certain he had not been sent from France merely from political causes , and as he had no papers with him , it would be an almost useless task to apply to the French embassy for information . —Mr . Hardwiok considered something ought to be done to stop a system that added materially to the load of pauperism and crime already imposed upon England . He hardly knew what to take in the

      . step present case . If he relieved the applicant , it would be only encouraging others to come to the court , and " no realgbod would be done , as the applicant , could not expect lo get employment here , when every department of industry was overcrowded . If theapplioant was allowed to continue in a state of starvation , he might be driven to crime , ' and thus a magistrate hardly knew what to do under such oircumstances . Something effectual / however , ought to be'done to stop a growing evil of Buch magnitude . —Arrangements were made with the secretary to give the applicant Borne trifling temporary relief , and he was then dismissed .

      MARYLEBONB . —The Tbaitspori Escaped from Woolwich . —On Tuesday George Martin was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , for further examination , charged with having , before the expiration of his Bentence of transportation , made Mb escape with two other convicts from the Warrior hulk , at Woolwich . It appeared that the prisoner got away from the hulk in a boat , and that he was ultimately captured by Smith , of the detective police , on tho night ofthe 28 rd ult ., shortly after he had made his egress from a public house in Great Portlandstreet . He . didnot deny the oharge against him , and the remand took place in order to afford time for Mr . Masterman , the superintendent of the Warrior , to ascertain by applying at the Home-office as

      to whether the prisoner should be handed over to the authorities at Woolwich , whence be had made his escape , or . be sent for trial for the offence . It was further shown in the course of the inquiry that the prisoner had , been in / 'trouble" prior to his sentence of transportation , for the crime of houaebreaking in High-street , adjacent to this c « urt . A communication . ' was now made to the magistrate in reference to his worship ' s remarka ' uppn the former inquiry , aa to the Home-office authoritieB being madejjcquaihted with the particulars of the case , and the prisoner was , after proof being given by 153 E , as to thesentence often years' transportation passed upon him at the Central Criminal Court , committed for trial .

At one . period , Bbortly after the alleged outrage , the complainant ' s life was considered in imminent danger , but he is now , pronounced by his medical attendant as convalescent . —The complainant , on being sworn , deposed as follows : On Monday , the 7 th ult ., I

      attended this court for the purpose of applying for a warrant against Mary Ann Edwards , who struck me a violent blow on the head with a pint pot in consequence of ray having interfered to prevent her rom striking a . female . The woman Edwards is cohabiting with the prisoner Conly , and the application against her having been granted , a day was appointed for hearing the evidence against her at this court , Previously , however to , which , on the aftornoon of Wednesday the 9 th ult ., ' about five o clock , as I walking along Newington-causeway towards the Elephant and Castle , I uaw the prisoner with . an . umbrella in his hand .
