      f-t _' -owHwr sense , 1 heg leave to second the motion ah ich the hon . gentleman has made . I am perf . f . r-ly sure that it will be _asabject of grief to the i i Me lord at the head of the government , tbat in _R equ e nce , probably , of the introduction of this sectjeetafew moments earlier than it mi g ht have i ein expected , he has been deprived of the satisonntion of . bearing his part in this , the earl i e s t , one not t b e last , tribute of respect , to be paid Mie the memory of one whom : I may now nameblab late Sir Robert Peel . ( Hear , hear . ) The subvwlt which has been introduced by the hon . genaanman—he . will forgive jne for saying—is one dit does not & t this moment bear discussion . pyy ery heart is much too full to allow ns to pro-11 sd so early to enter u p on the c onsiderat i on of

      aans amount of that calamity with which the counbnar bass been visited in , I will say , the premature thb ith of Sir Robert Peel ; for , although he has 11 fed fall of years and full of honours , yet it is _aa a fleath t ha t i n hum a n eyes is p rem a ture , _bessease we had fondly hoped that , in whatever _itithsition , by the weight of his ability , by the nndendour of his talants , and by the purity of his murines , he might still have been spared to render nnomost essential services . ( Cheers . ) I will only ttte _, ote ,. as deeming tbem highly appropriate , those stst Kt touching and most feeling lines which were hUepUed . byone of the greatest poets of this county to the memory of a man even greater than ] Br R . Peel : — " Now is tbe stately column broke ;

      The beacen light is quenched ih smoke . ' The trumpet " s silvery sound is still _. The warder silent on the hill . " iae & eers . ) I will say no more . In saying this , I ee , ve perhaps said too much . It would bave been Wetter if I had simply confined myself to second the _tiiotion of the hon . gentleman . I was in hopes that ppr protracting the subject for some moments others _jljhight have entered the house who would have been rreDre worthy to discbarge the duty I have _undertaken . But it is not so . However , the tr ibute of _ppespect which we now offer will , I am sure , be aU i i ne more valuable , a nd all the more r ea dily r e ceive d , nmom the silence which has prevailed , and whieh has _isseisennot from a want , b ut f rom an exces s o f

      _iHieling . ( Hear . ) bM Mr . _Nactsr . — P e rh a ps , as I have a motion on tbe reaper for to-day , I may be permitted to say how lllillingly I waive everything to join in testifying , in ijy _' ny " manner . l ean , my sorrow a n d r e g r et for th e _sssos which the country has sustained . It is a very xrur io us circumstance , that a Targe portion of those ggegislative measures to which I was about to ask _teheattettion of tbe house have been suggested by itehe legislative wisdom of that great man who has . _ssust been gathered to his fathers . The impulse and uencouragement which he has given , to measures of _es p eg islation in connexion with the criminal juris _rrorudence of this country , and the records he has _Ifbft behind him of his enlightened wisdom on that mmnortant ' subiect , entitle him to the gratitude , and

      _ihViil ever claim the unanimous respect , of all classes it f the community . When the news came to bim of iisds d eat h , and when I reflected how short was the sieriod since I had beheld him standing on that spot uhthe full vigour of a matured intellectual _powerimbastened bnt not impared by age and experiencei . was reminded what shadows we are ; and the life ff if the wisest and strongest of us is but a wavering salame which the passing breeze may extinguish . EHear , hear . ) : Sir R . _Isoeq . —Perhaps my right hon . friend was ( _oiorrect when he suggested that silence was more Moquent than any words on the occasion of such a ntoss as that whicb thiB house , and tbis country , and :: f may almest say , which the whole European comnmuntty h a s sust a ine d in the de a th of . S i r Robert ? Peel . But , as the silence enjoined by my ri g ht hon . irriend ' s address has been broken with equal feeling

      ii & nd troth by the hon . and learned member for the 30 niversitj' of Dublin , perhaps I may be indulged in wearing my humble but hearty testimony tothe _Character ofthe friend whom we have lost . I trust _. _ibat his memory may be brought to our hearts and sounds without the least reference to those political _atopics which have unhappily divided us , and to which _ssome passing allusion has been made in the intro-3 dnctory address of the hon . member for Montrose . Ufc is not necessary on such an occasion as ihe prescient to refer to any topics which might disturb that rtinanimity of feeling , and that sentiment which I I trnst p e rv ad es , n o t onl y thishou s e , b ut th e count r y Kit large . ( Bear , hear . ) It is with the most cordial ifeelings of respect that I bear my humble testimony ito the high and honourable character of the man * whose death we now deplore , and , as one who has mow sat for some ' time in parliament , to rise and : state that I believe there never was a man who

      made greater sacrifices'for the public good than Sir Robert Peel . ( Hear , hear . ) . Power he sacrificed willingly ; and I think he would . have sacrificed everything except tbat whicb he regarded as paramount , namely , his duty , to the good of hiscountry . ( Loud cheers . ) __ Those who might have differed from him on political subjects will , lam sur e , unanimously concur in the expression of one cordial feeling of grateful respect for the memory ofthe man who really did more to distinguish this house among the deliberate bodies ofthe world than any oneindividual whoever sat in it . ( Cheers . ) _Tcordially join in the proposition that has been addressed with so much feeling to the house , and -which has been received with so much fee _' . ing by

      th e hous e , that in consideration of the great loss -whieh the _house has sustained , and from th e de ep sense which it entertains of tbat loss , th e h o use shoul d p ro c ee d no f urther with the b usiness cf t h e day . ( Hear , hear . ) ; Sir W . Som e rvuxe . — As no notice w a s g iven of any intention to move the adjournment of tbe house , _and-asit accidentally happens . that no member of her Majesty ' s Cabinet is at present in the house , probably I may be permitted to say , that had such been the case some one of greater importance . th a n myself would have risen to , express on .. the part of the gbvernmenttheir deep feeling of regret atthe loss which the country must sustain by the death of that eminent statesman whose loss we have now to

      deplore . ( Hear . ) . I will say no more on the present occasion . It would hardly be becoming br prudent in so humble a member of the house to say more than that I deepl y p a rti c i p ate in the g e neral feeling which has been expressed oh this occasion . J am quite sure that if therioble lord at the head of her Majesty ' s government had been in his place , —that he is not here I am certain is solely attributable to the fact that he did not expect the motion would have come on at se early a period * of tbe day , — but , if he had been present , I am convinced he would hare concurred in the expression Of the deepest regret for the lost which the country has

      sustained , aud of his highest respect for the memory of the great statesman who bas just departed from among ns , and , with the _sineerest sympathy and con d o l ence , would have declared his concurrence in the motion'that the house out of respect to ihat great man should ' not proc e e d with a ny further business , _to-day ... { Cheers . ) . -,.

Sir , _TvV _Souertxc £ e immediately rosef again and said , —I have ju 5 t _Tieea informed that \ b & noble lord tbe First . Minister of the Crown , happens to be in the country . He . went last night . ( Hear , hear . ) "

      The question was again put , and agreed to unanimously . " " .--- The house accordingly adjourned , at a quarter to one o ' clock . "" THURSDAY , Joxt 4 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The decease of Sir R . Peel was alluded to by the Marquis of Lassbowss , who spoke an epitaph of eulogy upon the virtues and talents of the late statesman , and gave utterance to his own-regret at tbe loss which the country had experienced .

      Lord SrAstET _, Lord Bbocoham , the Duke of Welusgtos , and the Dake of Cleveland successively added their homage to the memory of their deceased friend and colleague . _Natiosal _ExHiBmos . — A . discussion on the Hyde Park . Exhibition followed , in which - Lords CAUPBELLand , BBOucHAUspoke 3 _gainst ihe proposed building , and Earl _Grasviiae defended the Commission and its proceedings . - Lords _Uedesdaix and _Lossdaie also opposed the erection , an d Lor d _Fttzwiluak spoke in ito favonr . The discussion ended ia Lord Brougham ' s withdrawing a ° motion he had brought forward for referring the subject to a select committee / The Metropolitan Interments Bill was referred to a select committee , on the understanding that such course was not to endanger or delay the

      measure . _< Their Lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OF _COMMONS . — The house met at noon , but after going through the private business adjourned , npon tbe motion of Sir G . Gret , until half-past four . On resuming inthe afternoon , Death of Sir R . Peel . —Lord J . Rbsseh _, rose , and , with evident emotion , bore an eloquent testimony to the character , public and private / of tbe distinguished Statesman of whose presence the house bad been so suddenly and lamentably _de-Env ed . . He referred to the late Sir Robert Peel's aving been stricken down bo shortly after the time when / in tbe full exercise of his mental and

      bodily strength , he had been assisting in the deliberations of thaf house . His lordship described the intellectual power , the disinterested patriotism and the invariable courtesy and candour of the late b aronet , and 7 passed an _eulogium upon the reforms in commercial policy effected by him . He then expressed his willingness , if the family of Sir Robert Peel should sanction such a course , to move for a public funeral . ' Mr . Goxjlbuzs , on behalf of the family of Sir Robert Peel / made a grateful but agitated reply , acknowledging the universal sympathy which had heen _aunifested ; -But , in reference to the public funera l , a will of Sir Robert ' s , dated in 1844 , which a subsequent ' expression of his sentiments had cbnraed _, induced the family to believe that they were Lut obeying-IbeHr' revered relative ' s wishes in de-

Tho .

      ( Ireland ) Bill , and the Railway Audit Bill were not . The Landlord and Tenant Bill was to be proceeded with to the second reading . National Exhibition . —Col . SibrHORP moved that the report now presented respecting the proposed Exhibition of Industry , to be held in Hyde Park , be referred to a select committee . The hon . member repeated the objections he had urged almost every night for some time past against the Exhibition generally , and the selection ofthe site in Hyde Park in particular . . - , Mr . Alcock seconded the motion , 'and suggested Battersea-fields as a less objectionable locality . Sir B . Hall had succeeded in savin * Regent's Park from any danger of this infliction , and

      therefore had no longer any hesitation in supporting the motion . He proceeded to criticise many of the acts and intentions of the commissioners , censuring particularly their cutting down trees belonging to the public , and c o nc l u d e d by mov i ng that an address bo pres e nte d to the Crown , praying her Majesty not to sanction the erection of any building in the Park for the purposes of the Exhibition . Mr . Rice opposed the motion . Mr . _Stefbksson _, as a member of the building committee , explained tho reasons which had guided the selection o f Hy de Park for a site , and combated the objections that bad been adduced against it . To remove the Exhibition from the Park was equivalent to prohibiting it altogether . Mr . Hope wished to save Hyde Park from the

      destruction which the proposed building must inevitably occasion . Mr . Hume looked upon the opposition to the design ofthe commissioners as being founded on the narrowest motives of personal comfort and profit . The great benefits expected to arise to the industrial classes of the country ought not to be sacrificed to the convenience of a few ladies and gentlemen ; Hyde Park was the best locality for the Exhibition ,, and indispensable to its successful operation . Mr . _Laboucuebe believed that , after ail that had been said and promised , the passing ofthe the present motion would amount to a breach of faith between the house and the country , as well as between this country and foreigners . He dissected the statements and arguments on which the

      opposers of the Hyde Park site had founded their o b j e ction s , and showed their futility . Months had passed since the selection of that site was publicly k nown , and yet no opposition was raised until now , when , ' at the eleventh hour , it assumed ite present shape . The dome , which had been so much cens ured , woul d , he ad d ed , most probably never be buu \ and the . asserted . appeal for public money almost to a certainty never be made . . Mr . B . Osborne retorted the charge of delay upon the comm i ss i on e rs , who h ad never thoug ht of examining into the fitness of other sites until the question had been forced upon them . He wished to secure the fullest success tb the Exhibition , but

      felt and stated ; many reasons why it s h oul d not b e held in Hyde Park . Mr . Gladstone ( one of tbe commissioners ) , remarked that the firstprinciple by which their course was guided was to make the Exhibition a London one . Tbey believed it would be unjust to allure forei gner s and c ou n try people to th e metropo lis b y promising tbem a spectacle wbich they sbould find themselves afterwards forced to travel many miles off to see . At this moment a change in the plans involved the postponement of the Exhibition for another year , to the general disappointment and serious loss of the multitudes who had already made extensive preparations in the expectation that it would come off in 1851 .

      Sir De Laoy . Evaks deprecated the selection of Hyde Park . Mr . Stanford , Mr . T . Duncombe , and Lord Dudley Stuart having briefly spoken , Mr . ' J . Stuart recommended the house to wait until th e leg a l question involved should bave been settled by the courts of law , and moved the adjournment of the debate . After a few words from Lord R . Gbosvenor and Sir H . WiLtor / GHBr , Lord J . Russell conceived' that no advantage coul d r e sult f rom d el aying the vote upon this question ; . but after meeting and rebutting soma of the arguments adduced on the other side , he _Bttblultteu to Sir B . HaU-whether it were worth while to press the motion to a division .

      Sir B . Hall expressed his willinpess tb withdraw hi s motion , but several members having insisted on coming to a vote , the house divided : — For Sir B . Hall ' s motion ... ... il .. ' Against ... ... 166—119 A second division immediately afterwards took place on the motion of Col . Sibthobp , which w a s also rejected by a majority of 166 to 46—120 . Home-made Spirits in Bono Bill . —Lord _Naas moved the second reading of tbis bill . The Chancellor of the Exchequer reiterated the arguments he had urged upon the first reading against the measure , and declared his intention of agaiu taking the sense of the house upon it . Mr . Wtlb moved the adjournment of the debate , an d the house divided ,

      For adjourning the debate 95 Against .. 135—40 The discussion was continued by Mr . Fox Mauxe and Lord "J . Russew ., who withdrew their opposition to the Second reading of the measure . The bill was then read a second time , and the house adjourned at two o ' clock .

      FRIDAY ,: July 5 . - HOUSE . OF LORDS . _—Parliauestaby Yams ( Ireland ) Bill . Their Lordships went into committee on this bill . After various clauses bad been discussed , Lord Stanley moved on clause 15 , an amendment to the effect that it should be optional with the elector whether is should be on the register or not . : , This opposition was . opposed by the Marquis bf _LissnowNE , Earl . Grey , Lord Mosteagle , Lord

      _EDDiSBtjRr , and Lord St . G e rmans ; and supported by Lord Brougham , Lord Redesdale , and Lord Glekqall , and , on a division , was carried by 53 to 39 ; majority against government , 14 .

The Australian Colonies Bill , after a speech from Lord _LmsiiTOfl , who complained of its imperfect i ons , was read a third time and passed . Their Lordships then adjourned .

      HOUSE OF _COMMON ' S . —Repeal of the Malt Tax . —Mr . _Cayley submitted his motion , brought forward entirely , he observed , upon bis own responsibility , for the repeal ofthe malt tax . His arguments against the continuance of the impost were founded partly upon general objections' to the vexatious and inquisitorial character of an excise tax , and partly upon the necessity of affording some relief to the agriculturists , who were suffering severe distress in consequence of tbe cessation of protection . . The hon . member afterwards dwelt upon the justice of relieving the poor consumer from a burden . which enhanced the price of an . article tbat might be classed among their necessary luxuries .

      Mr . _Cheisiopher had been prevented from voting heretofore in favour of an abolition of the malt-tax by-considerations of its probable effect upon' the public revenue . As ¦ the agricultural interest was now the o nly one left unprotected , he felt that the claims bf justice _superseded-tfib' ae- of finance / aiid he therefore now seconded the motion . The Chancsllob of the Exchequer resisted the proposition , upon the ground that no substitute had been indicated for the very important tax which he was asked to remove . He denied that the returns of the consumption of malt gave any indicat i on th a t free tr ad e had proved injurious to the producers . The total quantity had no doubt declined by about one million quarters' annuall y between 1839-and 1849 . But the t ab le s showe d that

      the consumption of wine had fallen from 7 , 000 , 000 to 6 , 247 , 000 gallons , and that of spirits of all sorts h ad a l s o d ecl i ned b y one m ill ion gallons in the same interval . Tea , on the other hand , had increased in the ten . years from thirty-five to fifty million pounds ; coffee from twenty-six to thirtyfour millions ; and cocoa from 1 , 600 , 000 to 3 , 200 , 000 pounds .- This change lie attributed to ah' improvement ofthe moral habits of the people / whichhad led to a'happy diminution in the taste for stimulating fluids . The right honourable baronet proceeded to quote the evidence of patties largely experienced , and added many arguments to prove that the loss to the" revenue obcasiohed by abolishing the tax would not be compensated b y an increase of consumption , or the general benefit' of the

      consumers . . _< A- long discussion , ensued , when the house divided— " ¦ . " - ¦ Forthe motion ... ; .....,.. 123 A | ainst it ' ; ...... ..::. 247—124 . .

Well , I advanced towards the lamp ofthe public-house , and I bummed a tune w hi c h I lik e , because it was Palmerton , Palmiton , Marmiton—what's his name ?—

P . —It is with ' much regret we announce the demise of Mr . Robert Dillon Browne , M . P . for the cjunty of ' Mayo which took place on last "Monday morning , about ten o ' clock . The hon ' gentleman was in the enjoyment of his usually excellent health until the Friday previous , when premonitory . Symptoms of gout developed themselves . ' Oh that evening _^ contrary to the a d vice of hi s medic a l advisers , he ' attended in his place in the House of Commons fbr the purpose of recording his vote in favour of Lord Palmerston ' s foreign policy , and there is little doubt that the excitement- and exposure to cold necessaril y consequent on ' that step tended to aggravate the illness with which he was threatened . On the following day he was seized with a violent attack of gout in the head , whioh terminated fatally , as ' - " already stated ; Mr . Browne was an accomplished classical scholar and a very able speaker , As a popular

      orator he had few superiors , and , although he spoke butseldomintheHouso of Commons , he se ld om failed to command attention and respect . Mr .

Edwin James appeared forthe defendant . —This was ah action for goods sold and delivered _, and oil an accbuntstated . —The defendant pleaded , first , that he was not indebted ; and then that the plaintiff was indebted to him in a larger sum . — -It appeared that the plaintiff is ; a r a g andiron merchant in the neighbourhood of Houndsd itch , and that the defendant is a farmer at _Wandswortnj in Surrey , and a hop mefphant in Southwark' ; , ahd the action was . brought , to recover the value of certain manure wbich had been supplied by the former to the _latter in tho month of April , 1847 ,

      and the real question m the cause , was . as to what was the value of that manure as well as the actual amount or quantity of , that ; commodity which had been delivered . It was stated ' that this particular trade was confined to very few persons _^ of whom the present p laintiff was one . ' In , the spring : of 1847 there was a large , fire at _Irpngate-wharf ,. and the result was that there had been a vast accumulation of rubbishfahd other articles , mixed _upitoge ' ther , in onegeneral maBB , upon : which the watchful eye of the . plaintiffwasfixed , Hisjudgmenttold'himthat this rubbish would be most valuable as an article of manure , ' ; " seeing that amongst it were linseed / oil , arid a variety of other , things , ; which in a state , of combustion ' yielded manure of a valuable character .

      In course of time , after the fire , this rubbish and a shes were put , up to sale by auction by the insurance office authorities , and were purchased by a person who , having failed to ' clear , tbem off the premises within the specified term , they were about to be put up again , when the plaintiff boug ht t h em by private contract for £ 7 10 s . It appeared that the plaintiff and the defendant were old acquaintances , and that the latter , in the previous year , had compounded with liis creditors , two circumstances to which was to be attributed the length of time that had been given hy the plaintiff to ' . the defendant as credit . '; _TheJatter having heard of this manure became anxious to have it , as it was peculiarly calculated for the ' soil of his farm ' . in Garrett-lane , Wandsworth , aiid thereforo an arrangement was

      come to by the parties that he-should , pay just as much for it as they might on some future day agree upon as a reasonable price . The rubbish was in due time sent up to Watney ' s wh a rf at Wandsworth , and amounted to as much , as was alleged by theplaintiff , as 600 tons ,: The rubbish having been sorted over on the' wharf , seventy s a c ks of l i nsee d were t ak en f r om it , arid a vast quantity of bricks , some iren , some copper , some b rass , which were taken back to the plaintiff . As the _defeadant had not been able to pay . for the manure at the time , the pla i ntiff p urch a se d of him his horse and phaeton for £ 60 . Eventually _, the plaintiff made a claim of £ 275 for tho manure ; so that , deducting the £ 60 just mentioned , be still claimed £ 215 . _—! Av ' ,: l-, Jame s , on the part of the

      de f en d ant , contended thaf ; this was the most preposterous demand that was ever made , for the plaintiff asked the defendant to . pay him £ 275 for that which had only cbst : hiniself £ 7 10 . But what made tho matter the worse was , the plaintiff had taken away and sold all the bricks ,, and had also realised £ 20 by the sale of the iron , copper and other articles which he had sorted oiit . from the mass , the whole of which he nevertheless , charge d the defendant with . Then he had taken the defendant ' s horse and p h a eton at £ 60 , f so th a t he had already , for his outlay of £ 710 s , realised a _sam of £ 80 . But then there were expenses of course to b e d educte d , but with those expenses , it would be seen , he debited the defendant . —The jury eventually returned a verdict for the defendant .

      MORCATT _l / . FAGG . —A DISSENTIENT JUROR . Mr . Edward James , with Mr . Pre ' ntis , conducted the case for the plaintiff ; and Mr . Martin and Mr . Dowdeswell appeared for the defendant . This was an action to recover compensation . in damages for the non-delivery , of a parcel which the . plaint i ff had sent to the defendant ' s' office " , the White Bear in Piccadilly / to be forwarded to a Mr . Hobbs at Dawnton in the _. county of Wilts . The onl y question in the case was , whether the defendant , who turns out to be the keeper , of a "bookihg . offleeV only , had led the ' plaintiff and also tho public at large to suppose t h at he was a "carrier . " The question isone of great importance ; but as there was no verdiot returned , and the point therefore still remains

      _undecided / it was a . useless expenditure of _, our space to enter into thefparticulars of the case . It may , however , be ' stated that Mr , Baron Parke said , the case was brie ofthe clearest he had ever heardthere was no evidence to show that the defendant had in any way represented himself as a " carrier . " —The Foreman of the jury said , that he and several Others ofthe jury , entertained a different opinion , and for himself he would say , with all _. due respect , that , he ' consid e red t h e d efen d ant to be liable . _^ -Mr . Baron Parke : But as a matter of law I tell you that upon this evidence the' defendant is not liable and the plaintiff cannot recover . It is for you to take the law from me , and not for you to offerthelaw tome . —The Foreman : That maybe your Lordsh | p s opinion ; but my opinion is otherwise , and I cannot find for the plaintiff . —Mr . Baron Parke : If . upoh your conscience you believe the

      delenaantto be a ' * carrier , " of course you will not find him not tobe so ; but I tell you you are wrong . - _; The Foreman ; . I . still thinkx he is , or has held himselfout'to the worldas . a " carrier , " and loan-: not find otherwise . —Another Juryman .. Every body knows that the defendant is not a " carri e r , " and that he is only _, a booking-office-keeper . —The jury then had a-further . consultation , at the end of which the Foreman said , there , was no chance of their agreeing . _, Hewould , therefore , suggest ; that the best' courfee would be that a juror should be withdrawn . . The counsel Oh both sides having consulted intimated their acceptation of the suggestion . A jurorf . was accordingly withdrawn . Mr . Baron Parko said , he had never seen a . clearer . case . The defendant was not liable ,, but the Seuth-Western'Railway Company were . —The Foreman of the j ur y s a id , he entertained a very different op inion as a man of business . .

      CLARK V / SAVAGE . _—StANOEB . This was an . action brought against the . defenda nt for certain s l a nderous wor d s spoken b y him against the plaintiff . —It appeared that the plaintiff , who was considerably advanced in life , _waslat one time / the driver , of a coach Von the Great Bfbrthroad . Having married a woman ' with considerable property , he retired from this occupation about the time that railways broke up the business in which he had been engaged .- He then went to reside in the neighbourhood of St . John ' s Wood , _whwb he beoarae acquainted with , the , defendant , whb wa s the son ef a man of fortune , from whom he inherited a large fortune . After some time the defendant proposed to the plaintiff that he , the

      plaintiff and" his wife / should take the defendant ' s house , ;; and that the . defendant should stay with them in the capacity of a boarder . This arrangement was acceded to / but some time afterwards the defendant ' s conduct was such , in ' bringing certain parties to the house ,: and otherwise , that' the plaintiff considered it impossible that hiB wife could any longer _jjemain in the house . As , vhowever , ; tno plaintiff had brought considerable , property 'into- the house , ho sent his wife away , but remained himself in the house * The defendant then commenced a system of annoyance'in regard' to the : plaintiff , which had rendered it absolutely-necessary for him to apply to the court for protection . In ; March , 1849 , the defendant began to asperse the character of the plaintiff Jn the most serious manner , charging him

      repeatedly , ana in tiie presence-and hearing of many people , with tho commission of unnatural crimes . It was to protect himself against the-injury which such imputations were calculated to brdiet upon him that he now threw himself upon the court fbr protection . —The defendant pleaded the general . issue . —Evidence was adduced to ' prove the slanderous words used ; butthey : were such as to render them unfit for publication .-Mr .

      COURT OF COMMON : PLEAS . com . Br v . _bowb . —sBnuciiojr . _. This case , which occupied the Court , a part of Tuesday _^ was resumed this ' morning ( Thursday . ) It was an action brought by the plaintiff , who s ue d in forma pauperisfor damages sustained by the sed uction of his daug hter / by the defendant , Mr . Bone , a bookbinder , of Fleet-street . Mr . Sergeant Sheeand Mr . Browne appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr . M _< Chambers and M . Maynard for the dbfendarit . Mr . Sergeant Shee opened the case for the p laintiff , reciting the evidence which he was about to offer . The first witness oalled was the young woman herself , Ann Cuffley , whose evidence was to the following effect : —She had been a bookfoldebin the establishment of Messrs . Bone , employed In folding sheets for the binders ; She had also been

      often employed _; in doing li ttle m a tters i n the counting house of Mr . Bone , jun ., such as lig hting his fire , and sweeping his room . He had always treated her with more attention and favour than the other girls , often g iving her fruit ; He had also taken ber to Greenwich , and once to Sadler ' s W e lls Theatre . On the 16 th of October , 1843 , the defendant met her on the stairs in the warehouse , and desired her to go up stairs and li ght a fire in his counting-house , which Tjas on the second floor ; he followed her up stairs , a n d f e tched her the coals and firewood for her to light the fire . After that he brought up some walnuts , and gave her somethins ; out of a bottle which he said was wine , and which made her stupid and sleepy ; she . also drank

      something out' of another bottle , which he said was gin . He then threw her down on the floor , and began to take improper liberties with her , and afterwards effected her ruin , she resist i ng an d crying out at the time . ' , He would not allow _, her to leave the room , but kept her locked in for three hours , until five o'clock , when the porter brought up Mr . Bone ' s tea to the counting-house . She then went . into a cupboard while Mr . Bone went to the door / unlocked it , and took the tea froni the porter . ' She had some tea with ' him , and afterwards went _downstairs , creeping under the counter to escape the' notice of her fellow-workwomen , and . got out of the warehouse without being seen . She was questioned on the . 'following morning by the foreman as to the . reason of her

      absence , and said that she had beed locked out and could not get in in time . About a month after she told the defendant that she was with child , be told her it was onl y a cold ; but , at any rate , he woul d give her something to take . On the 14 th of July , 1849 , her child was born ; arid she afterwards went to the defendant with her mother and brother , to try to prevail ori him to allow something for the child ' s support . —Her cross-examination , by Mr . M . Chambers , elicited that she had been in the habit of often going to public houses with young men and drinking spirits with them , also of going to theatres- _and-conoert-robms- unknown'to her mother . She had also made assi gnations , and had made an appointment with a < gentleman to take a

      fide with liimin his gigto _Kew ; but she did not do so because it rained onthe day appointed . —William Cuffley , the brother of Ann " Cuffley / was the next witness , and he d eposed that hay ing learned that his sister was in the family way , he went with her and his mother to the defendant to prevail on him to make some provision for the child . The defendant , however , refused lo do anything in the matter , denying that he had ever nad any connexion with witness ' s sister . 'At . a subsequent interview he still persisted in his denial . —Harriet Pounceby and Maria Peacock were called and deposed to the attention which the defendant had paid to Ann Cuffley . The former witness had been in , her c omp a ny on on e occasion when the defendant had taken them to a public-house called the Blue Hart , arid treated them

      to some refreshment . ' The second witness deposed to the defendant ' s having given the gb i fruit on various occasions which she brought down into the warehouse , and shared with her feflbw work-women . Also to the fact of Ann Cuffley haying _been-discharged from the service of Messrs ; Botie some time after by the foreman for some alleged misconduot . —Mr . Montague Chambers defended in a speech of considerable length . The tale of Ann Cuffley , was , he contended , ii pal pable f a lsehood , and after commenting at some'length upon its probabilities , he left it ' to the jury to say whether they would by t h eir verd ic t . destroy the character and position of the defendant on such evidence as had been adduced in the present base , —Bjjs Lordship _summedup , and the'jury / after" afshort deliberatfon ,- returned a verdiot for the defendant .

      HOPS . Maidstone . —The bines continue to grow vigorously , and ' are now ' shaking hands' across the alleys . No increaseis visible in the number of fly . We had a thunder storm on Wednesday night , and such a foil of hail , or rather of flat pieces of fee , on Friday , ashasseldom been witnessed . The last three or four nights have been cold . Withthe exception ofa little ' whpping , ' however , scarcely any effect is visible in the grounds , as resulting from these causes . In this immediate district we have found no trace of mould . At present evei _^ thing : bids fair for a crop . TUKBBlDGE , —Tlie hops in this district are getting on re . miirkablywell . They are perfectly free from % , though perhaps not quite so forward as at some seasons . I have been through the principal grounds round Hadlow , Gold Hill-green , and Peckham , and And them all equally good , A gentleman connected with the trade was commissioned by a factor to send him all the fly he could get I think he said he found half a dozen after looking through as many acres , but did not suppose he could find another for a sovereign . ¦< . ¦ ¦ ¦ ...

      Fabnua & _t , Altos , and Couotry Districts . — Since our last report we have been visited with a high temperature , accompanied with heavy thunder storms . The plant has , of course , made great progress , aBd there are very few fly to ha seen .
