      The House went into committee on the Customs ' Acts ( Tariff ) and Mr . Miles brought forward a defined proposition with reference to his motion ef last night ; that in lieu of a duty of £ 1 per head on cattle , tnere should be levied 5 s . 6 d . per cwt . ' . ¦ Sir Robert Pkkl c . uld not consent to the proposition . He had no . fear whatever of any injury arising from an importation of fat cattle under the proposed Government duty , and the importation of lean cattle would be a positive advantage to the agriculturalists themselves . Some talk followed , and on a division , the amendmentof Mr . Miles was rejected . by 209 to 44 . Major Vivian moved thai the duty on cattle , meat , and other provisions mentioned in the tariff , imported from tho Canadas , be equal to the import duty from other foreign countries ,

      Sir ItOBEET Pbel could not agree to the proposition . ; Mr . Charles Buller dec ' arcd that though the tariff was not the grtaiest free trade measure ever proposed in the House , it would , if carried , be tho greatest which this eountry ever obtained . Though opposed to differential duties , he yet could calm the fears of Major Viviau as to any overwhelming importation ot' cattle or provisions by way of tho Canadas . A somewhat desultory debate now arose , shared in by various members , Lord Howick , Sir Robert

      Peel , Mr . Labouchere , Lord John Russell , and others , in which the inconsistency of the Government was commented on , in applying different principles to the trades in corn and cattle . Amongst the BDeaker-4 was Lord Sandou , who vindicated the Government , on the ground that foreign corn could be imported in unlimited . quantities , * whilp the supply of cattlo was limited . -Tins called up Mr . Cobden , who Bpoke warmly and indignantly on the legislation of the House , and declared that the people of Lancashire were sinking into an apathetic state , produced by the appalling and unparalleled condition in which they were placed .

      Mr . Turner wound up this discussion by deprecating delay in passing the tariff ; after which , Major Vivian ' s amendment was withdrawn . Mr . Smith O'Brien proposed , that on the article , ¦' swine and hogs , " instead of the uniform duty of five shillings , there should be left a blauk , to be filled up afterwarus in some way so as to afford more adequate protection . The amendment was supported by Mr . Miles ; but on a division it was rejected by 121 to 32 . The Chairman then proceeded , proposing successively the different items of the tariff . At the article " fish , " some debate arose as to tho proposed duty on lobsters , it being alleged that it would operate injuriously to the interests of individuals engaged in a precarious trade , without any corresponding advantage . Sir Robert Peel agreed to reserve the matter for farther consideration .

      The rest of tho evening was occupied in discussing different items , when , at the article of " fruit , " a division took placs on the proposed duty of Gd . a bushel on ayp ' e * , Mr . Wakley moving that the present duty of five per cent , should continue . The amendment was negatived by 110 to 51 . The Chajiima . n reported progress , and the House resumed . Tho other orders of the day were then disposed of . The House adjourned at half-past one . Wednesday , Mayii . The House proceeded with the tariff in committee . Lord Howick proposed , that the import duty on foreign butter should bo reduced from 20 s . per cwt . to 10 s ., leaving the duty ou colonial butter al 03 ,, as imposed in the tariff .

      Sir R . Peel objected to this reduction , which , he said , would work a serious loes of revenue . He remarked it as inconsistent with the anti-differential doctrines advanced on a former evening by Lord Howick , that Noble Lord , is now proposing to alter ihe duty on foieign butter , should himself have made a difference between the foreign and tho colonial article . Lord Howick pleaded , that he was obliged to propose , not what he most wisced , but what he had tho best chance of carrying . Some of the country gentlemen represented tho necessity of keeping up the protection or tliu small dairymen . Mr . C . Buller thought it much more important to provide cheap food for the poor population .

      Lord John Rcssell was resolved to'fake this opportunity of supporting Sir R . Peel ' s general principles of free trade against Sir Robert Peel himself . The Committee divided , sustaining the 203 . duty . Some discussion then followed respecting th « duty on cheese , which it was proposed by Mr . M-. Philips to reduce from the 10 s . 6 d . proposed on tho tariff to 7 s . 6 vl . Mr , Labouchere referred to a Cheshire newspaper , in which the high rate of duty preserved in the tariff on this article was ascribed to the influential exertions of the county members with the Government . Sir R . Peel assured the Committeee , that the decision of Government had been taken upon considerations of revenue , before the county members had brought in any application whatever .

      Messrs . Hume , Cobden , Waklet , and Ward , iDveighed against the agricultural party , who , they said , resisted the relief of the starving people , for the sake of their own rents . Mr . Jervis , though generally favourable to free trade , would support the protection of cheese , on a mere comparative question between 7 rf . 6 d . and 10 s . 6 d . Sir R . Peel regarded tho preceding speech as a strong illustration of the d fficul ; y of his task . Mr . Jervis was making an exception in favour of cheese , as being member for Chester ; and thus it was tint each man thwarted the 'Government measures in the particular matter that touched his own constituents . This showed how necessary it was , instead of dividing on these single items , to take the tariff as a whole ; and he believed tho wisest thing the House could do would be to pass the entire measure that very night .

      The Committee , on a division , negatived Mr . Philips ' s amendment ., Mr . Palmer , of Esfex , moved to raise the proposed duty upon onions from 6 d . to Is . per bushel . Mr . Gladstone resisted this , as unreasonable in amount and unnecessary for revenue . Mr . Palmkb . retrained Irom pressing his amondmrnt to a division ; but moved to raise tho duty on potatoes from 2 d . per cwt . to a shilling . And this he desired , not ior the sake of rents , but in . order . to keep the country independent of foreigners for this great article of food . Tho Ministers , before tboir accession to office , had held out expectations of full protection to agriculture ; and the agriculturists were not to be bUmed if they now required the fulfilment of that pledge .

      Mr . Gladstone represented the groat importance of providing lor the importation of potatoes in timo of scarcity . The consumer of wheat could fall back on oats * , of oats upon potatoes ; but the consumer of potatoes could fall back upon nothing . Still the ordinary importation of them was greatly checked by their bulk and tho consequent dearness of freight . Mr . Wakley Baid Mr . Gladstone was mistaken if he supposed there would not bo a very extensive importation of potatoes . Tbo admission of them was one of the best points in this tariff , and would even have great effect in reducing the price of bread . Mr . Escott oppesed Mr . Palmer ' s motion , and said that the farmers of England did not desire to keep up the price of food . The aaendment was withdrawn .

      The scfcedule of duties upon iood having been disposed of , the BcboduUs . re l ating to spices , seeds , and wood weca passed -without opposition ; and the Committee thec came to ihe schedule affecting minerals on which Mr . TuEKfis raised : * lonv discussion in reference to the mining interests « f Cornwall , Mr . Glaiksowe replied , an d refuted somt rather extraordinary statements witXi which Mr . Turner had surpised the House . He explained the peculiar advantages whieh it was expected the adoption of the proposed rate of duty woula confer upon those engaged in smelting the metal ; and was followed 07 Sir C . Lemon , who supported &e view taken by Mr . Turner .

      Mr . Labocchere and Mr . Chari vbs duller were in favour of the Government measui 'e , and several of the Cornish Members having each sa id a few words , tho House divided , seven members 0 uly voting with Mr . Turner . The Committee then proceeded with the other de « scriptionsof ores , the proposed changes 'in the duties upon which were agreed to without , scarcely any discussion , after which an adjournment took place .

      tms part of the country : indeed , all other political parties have sunk into insignificance before the good sense , Btraightforward action , and determination of the good men and true . After the local business of a pecuniary and directory nature had been concluded , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to by the meeting : —1 st .

And ; mort over , this meeting feels oonyiriced that the majority of those who head the anti-Corn Law movement , are men who supported or formed a part of tho late detestable Whig Ministry , and who now agitate this question to bring thenifielves npam into ofiico v and retard the progress of Qhartism .

      State of the Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There cannot be said to be any material improvement in any branch of the hosiery manufactures . Silk gloves may be a shade better , but not to the extent to nearly employ the hands . The cotton glove branch is dull ; and sorry we are to hear , that the truck system has entered Bulwell ; the charges made in this branch for frame rent , slur-clocks , and aVariety of other such impositions , are a frightful drawback upon the wagesj and make thesituation of the operative bad indeed . The silk hose branch is in the same depressed state that it has been in for some

      years . The silk-knotted branch is also in a , most depressed condition , and the recent decease of the " father of that trade , " we fear , will not much amend its prospects , as he was indefatigable in siorapiug up orders . The fancy hoso trade , though extremely flat , is yet the most stable of all . the branches . The drawer , pantaloon , and shirt branch is still ia the same feverish state—^ extremely limited in its employment . The bobbin-net trade is in a most unsettled state in England . The warp lace trade is somewhat better , and from what we can learn , lace is beginning to be worn in great . profusioii in . the higher circles , particular ' y in ornamenting caps and bonnets .

      MtfRDER of a Son bt his Fatheh . —An inquest was held at North Collingham , Nottinghamshire , On the 23 d May instant , before P . R . Falkner , Esq ., Coroner , over the body of Mr . George llaworth , who was a respectable currier , aged between thirty and forty years . He lived with his father , but the latter had never spoken to him for upwards of two years . The deceased , on Saturday last , liad put his horse into a cart , and was ready to start to Newark , when a neighbour , Mrs . Gilbert , called , and requested him to wait five minutes whilst she fetched a basket , which Bhe wished him to take to Newark . She waa not absent more than fi * e minutes , and , not seeing him in the 1 yard On her return , weut into the house , when she found him in an inner room , in a stato of great suffering , and scarcely able to speak , with blood flowing profusely from one of his ears , at the back of which he had received a violent blow .

      His father , who is a shoemaker , was sitting in the same room at his work , quite indifferent and unconcerned , aud offered no assistance , and evinced no sympathy for hia -son . A mtdical man was sent for , and soon after arrived , and found the deceased rapidly sinking and insensible , in which state he continued till his death . fn the evening . The father at first denied any knowledge of the iujury , bat afterwards confessed he had ihtlicted it with a thick bar of wood , with which the outer door of the house was fastened , but alleged that-his son had provoked him to it . On opening the head it was found that the skull was extensively fractured at the back of the ear , and that the deceased had also received three or four other violent coutusipns on the head . The Jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder , " against the father , who was committed by the Coroner to the County Gaol , to take his trial at the next Assizes .

      A SCENE IN A JUSTICE ROOM . In another page we have given a report of the examination of a policeman at the Court House , on a charge of assault . Mr . Musgrave was one of the Justices present , and during the examination of a witness named Thompson , called by Mr , Bond , a scene quite novel for a Court of Justice took place . Thompson said he came to assist Storey to handcuff Sandersonj and although betwixt the two he nev « r SaiW qrhoarA Staroy etrihe with his staff . On hedring this , Mr . Musgray © Evidently in W raat warmth ) rose from his seat and questioned Thompson on this point , but always received the same answer , whereupon ; Mr . Musgrave ( addressing Thompson ) said , " Any thing you may say after that , I shall riot believe . " Mr- Bond—Didyou see the man struck I—Thompson—I did not , sir .

      Mr . Musgrave—Did you see any blood on . his head ?—Thompson—Blood came down upon my arm , but I did not see the blow struck . Mr . Musgrave—The man states he was between them , and yet did not see the blow struck . It is impossible ; I cannot believe anything he has to say after that . \ ' ' ¦ : ' . : ¦[ ¦ . ¦ ¦ .. ' ¦]\ - ¦ ' ¦¦ V- ' v-V \ . Mr . Bond—I must say this is something new to me ; I never before heard judgment given from the Bench before a case was closed , and I hop * I jnever shallagain ; J

      Mr . M usgrave—When the man states he was between them , and the riian must have struck ia front , it is impossible for him to be so struck with a truncheon without his seeing it done ; and when I hear a man come and make such a statement , I cannot in my conscience believe anything he says . Mr- Bond . —You are quite at liberty to do that , but to give judgment before a case is closed is what I never before heard . Anything more indecent I never heard before , and I muat say I have no respect for any one who does bo . —Mr . Musgrave : You may say so if you like . Mr . Bond . —Yes , I do say so , and in the face of the country . Anything more indecent 1 never heard ; to pass judgment in the middle of a case is unprecedented , and the country and the public , will judge it . —Mr . Musgrave : I hope tho public will judge it . I am not judging the case , only this man ' s evidence . . ¦¦ : '

      Mr . Bond . —That is worse ; that is pass ing judgment upon a piece of a caso . If I were to call a regiment of soldiers , and they all swore to it , and you should not believe it , I should not , wonder / Afoer the other witnesses for the defence had been examined , Mr , Musgrave suggested to Mr . Bond to recal Thompson . Mr . Bond declined , alleging that the case had been prejudged by one justice , so far ag thisman ' s evidence ' wag concerned . Mr . Musgrave—My remaiksappJied to this man's evidence ; I have not prejudged the case ; Mr . Bond —^ Pray don ' t take me fora fool , for that is what it amounts to . I mnst be allowed to use some

      discretion . ; - : ¦ .. ' ' . . . : -: : v ' . ' . . .. " ¦ -- ¦ . . , -. Mr . Musgrave reiterated that he had not said anything about the case ;; his remarks applied solely to Thompson ' s evidence . : : . Mr . Bond—Take the witness to be a liar if you like , but don ' t take me lobe a fool , and ask me to call a witness after you say you cannot believe him . Mr . Musgrave—Mr . Bond , remember it is only On sufferance that you are here at all . Mr . Bond— I have a right , Sir , to be here . Mr . Musgrave--You have no right to examine witnesses only through auffrfrarice . Mr . Bond-Yes I have , and if you don ' t know thelaw let me tellityou . : ; .: . Mr . Lofthouse , the magistrates' clerk , here spoke with Mr . Musgrave .

      Mr . Musgrave—It seems Mr . Bond , you have a right . hut— - Mr . Bond—Yes , and I thought you had been long enough a justice to have known that . Mr . Musgrave—You are very insolent , Mr . Bond . Mr . Bond—I am no hypocrite , Sir ; I don't profess respect for any one when I don ' t feel it . Mr . Hall—These altercations are quite new to me . Mr . Holdforth— -It would be better that these explanations should take place after ; they are very indecorous here . :. '•"

      Mr . Bond said he had never had occasion to make such remarks before , and no one had any reason to complain of him for any want of respect towards their authority . The subject then dropped .
