"Mr . Uurrcll askcl with evident surprise if 310 _assistance had been previously rendered the prisoner ?
' The _vniness burst into a loud laugh , and replied 111 thc Tsc _^ ative . Tlu-rc were only women in thc house , aud they —were ali too frightened . Mr .

Tiie prisoner went a far greater * way towards ruining himself by endeavouring to commit * the heinous crime of suicide . The magistrate called for bail , and the prisoner was locked up till it is forth-* coming .

Weosescav . —A Ferocious Assauit . —A powerfullooking fellow named Stephen-Barrett , appeared on an assault warrant to answer the complaint of Mrs . Harriet * H * Qmlian , « ifc to the proprietor of the _Blakcney's Head public-house . Shorter-street . _W-ellelose-squnve . The complainant , who had her head bandaged up , appeared exceedingly weak . Mr . _Felhsm attended for the prosecution . On Monday last the prisoner , who is a farrier by trade , went with some ofhis mates to the Blakeney ' s Head , and was drinking until half-past eight o ' clock . Seei :- _* g that they became noisy aud somewhat the worse for liquor , they werc refused to he served with any more , upon which the prisoner swore he would serve liimself , and jumped twice upon the bar , but ivas put back . Hc then went into the tap-room , but soon came back again , saving he _shosild get a gallon ot' beer _orb-Al havo the
counter up . Mrs . _SI'Quillan and her husband wcre then at tlic bar , and the prisoner , who was-epposite them , flung a quart pewter pot , which struck complainant on the forehead , just above the left oyebrew . The force of the blow was iu a slight degree broken _iy the pot first touching the bonnet of a person nameii Anne Badland , whom Mrs . _M'Quillan was serving at the time . The blood immediately spirted out , and complainant exclaimed , "I ' ve lost iny eye ; " but Mrs . Badland-said , "Xo you are only blinded with the blood . " Tbe prisoner then made his escape through the window . —Mrs . M'Quillan wished the magistrate to treat the case sammarily , as all she wanted was that the prisoner would enter into sureties not to enter her house again . —Mr , _* Pclbara said this request was made uuder apprehension by his client , who dreaded violence from the prisoner ' s associates if he were committed . A person called on her on the previous night and advised her not to appear against Barrett , as he was a desperate
man , and would murder her . —Mr . Broderip said the casewas too serious a onc to be dealt with summarily , as thc law would protect her against any apprehended violence , —Theprisoner , in Ids defence or paUiation , said lie was so drunk at the time that he did not know what he was about , and hewas now very sorry for it . —Mr . Broderip told him liis sorrow-came too late . His drunken violence might have hurried the complainant to an untiuiel-i grave . It was fortunate for the prisoner that the bonne ; of the woman Badland had in some ' degree broken the force of the blow , and that the missile took effect upon the brow , and net 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 theprisoner must put in bail , himself in £ 40 , and two sureties in £ 20 each , to appear aud take his trial atthe sessions . The requisite bail was put iu in the course of the day .
Seizure Of Ax Extessite Disiiu,Env.—On W...
Seizure of ax _Extessite Disiiu , Env . —On Wednesday afternoon a seizure of a large distillery was made by several revenue officers iu Hertford-place , Globe-road , Mile-end , and the parties connected with the concern we at the same time captured . In the rear ot" tins distiircrv is an open field of considerable extent , aud bctwe ' enTtliis field and the rear ef the lionses in Hertford-p / ace is a pieeeof ground containing three small dwelling-houses , sheds , boiler-house , steam-engine , and buildings , in which it appears illicit distillation has been carried on for the last six months , and thc revenue defrauded to an enormous amount . The approach to the premises from Hertford-place was by a narrow covered pathway , about one hundred feet * in length , at thc end of which there
is a door , with the words " Carter and Suns painted thereon , in large letters . There is another entrance to thcpremisesfromrlie field ; _andapairof large gates , 10 feet in width and _, 9 feet higii , inclosed rlie premises in this direetio * _*" ) _-and thc gates -were only opened at intervals for the ingress and egress of a lioise and cart , which was kept by the fictitious firm of Carter and Sims , who professed to carry " on the business of glue , J 3 ize , and naptha makers _^ The workmen arid their families inhabited the dwelling-houses on the premises . In consequence of information , a Customhouse officer , named Coleby Atkinson Davis , applied to Mr . Broderip , atthe Thames Police-court , for a scareh--ir . _-irnjiiii to enter the premise * , which ivas immediately granted ; and having obtained the assistance of two excise-officers , named Cartwright and
Wallace , and Thomas Forck , police-sergeant 27 K , and Pierce , Stair , and Forsyth , constables ofthe same division , he repaired to the place . The police and one of thc excise officers having been judiciously posted to prevent any of the parties making their escape , _D-ivis and Cartwright obtained admission to thc premises by stratagem , and found the distillery in full operation . They immediately . captured four men , who gave the names of John Jones , John _Wak-on , Thomas Welsh , and Edward Dickcn , who made a show of resistance ; on whicli Davis exhibited his pistols ; and liaving opened the gates aud admitted thc police , the men quietly surrendered , aud were immediately taken to the Thames Police-court , when Mr . Broderip , who wa . * - about to leave the bench , directed that tliey should
be detained . Davis informed the magistrate that hc had seized the largest illicit distillery he had ever _sscn in London , and an inspection oftiic placo fully bore out his statement . It appears that cverytliinc was conducted on a large scale . There wcre four stills and a large rectifier in full operation , with fire * under the whole of them . The stiils were working off strong spirits , and in a vat ' sunk in the ground the officers discovered upwards of four hundred gallons , and it was expected that as much more would be worked off from the stills during the night . The upper floor of the building contains nine" large vats _, filled with upwards of 1 , 200 gallons of wash ; which , at the time the officers entered , was in a state el fermentation , and the whole of which the officers
intend to convert into spirits . The operations appear to have been conducted in a very scientific manner , and not like the ordinary private stills . There were gauges , hydrometers , and other instruments on the premises , for thc purpose of testing the strength and quality of the spirits . The value ofthe stills , rectified spirits , and materials is upwards of three thousand pounds . It is an extraordinary fact , that some time ago Davis discovered a quantity of materials , a still , and a rectifier , bul which were not fixed , on the premises of a gentleman at Islington , lie was not empowered to seize them , but he managed to cut his name with a knife on some of the materials , and -lie found the same things , with the name still upon them , on the premises of thcself-stvled Garter and Sims . .
SnocKixc OcccnnEXCE _nnmxc a Ball at White _Coxnuir House . —On Wednesday morning , between onc aud two o ' clock , the following singular and shocking accident occurred at a ball at White Conduit House , _wliiclifollowed the dinner held there on Tuesday evening by the ratepayers of St . Pancras , in celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the passing of the Vestries Act . In order to gratify the wish of Commodore Sir Charles Napier , M . P ., who liad signified his intention of heing present , Mr . Ripley , the conductor of the entertainment , had especially engaged the piper of the Earl of Aberdeen , and a number of Scotch friends , to perform the dances ot their country- The whole party were magnificently attired in the Hi ghland costume , and commenced b daneiug a Highland reel , in whicli thc gallant
_Commoilw-e took part , and danced n-itJi equal spirit to any of his juniors in years , amidst the loud applause of the crowded assembly . The celebrated " Tullagorum" was next called _fer , and whilst performing some ofthe extraordinary steps requiring the development of great muscular power incident to that dance , a young man , named Warren , suddenly missed his footing , and fell with his right arm under his body . The occurrence at fired created a tough , iiut from the fainting condition of the daneer , it soon became evident tliat some serious injury had been sustained . Sir Charles _papier was one of the first to run to Mr . Warren ' s assistance , and he was removed in an insensible condition to _thcprivateapartiBentsof Mr . llouse , and there seen by one or two medical gentlemen , who werc in the ball-room at the time . On
examination , iv was found that his right arm was broken in a frightful manner , and hewas forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital where lie received the necessary attention , and was then removed to liis residence , in Chapel-street , Tottenham Court-road , where lie now lies . Tiie arm is so dreadfully shattered , that it is feared the entire loss ofit will be the result . Fatal Railwat AccmExr . _—IvExnAi ., _Weoxesdav , Jclt 16 . —Two accidents occurred yesterday , in tlic neighbourhood of this town , on the _Iancaiter and Carlisle Railway , one of wliich has _proied fatal , and the other will , in all probability , terminate iu the death ot the unfortunate sufferers . In ono of the cases , Peter Bragan , a nativo of Berkshire , a boy thirteen or fourteen years of age , who was employed as waggon-driver at a nart of the line
near ticiiKui Crag , accidentally slipped while _iinving , and fell across the rails , when his left leg was _di-cadfull y mangled by the waggon , rendering amputation necessary . He was instantly removed to his lodging m Kendal ( a distance of nearly two miles ) , where medical aid was procured ; but before the process of amputation was completed the unfortunate youth expired . The other accident occurred at JJockcr Garth , where two young men engaged in the excavation wcre suddenlv buried beneath a quantity ot loose soil . When dug out of the mass thev were found to be severely braised hv the weight of earth whicli covered them , but fovtimatclv had no none broken . They were immediately taken to a neighbouring house , where medical assistance was promptly rendered . They are still lingering in agony , and tlieir recovery is despaired of .

House Of Lords, Monday , July 14. Tbe Qu...
HOUSE OF LORDS , Monday , July 14 . Tbe question 01 privilege gave rise to a discussion of some length . Mr . Harlow and his attorney appeared at ihe bar of the house , and stated that the ground of action against Mr . Baker was evidence he had g iven before a select committee of the House of Lords , which the plaintiff considered to have _buen both malicious and _iuj'ivious to his character . Thc Lobd _CiuNCEUiOR then moved that the action was a breach of the privileges oftheir lordships' house . After some discussion tbe motion was agreed to . It was then moved that Mr . Harlow , the plaintiff , and his attorney , be committed to the custody of the Black Hod , which was agreed to . Thc remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned . TuEsti ' . Y _, July 15 . Lord _STAXtET announced that it was not his intention to proceed iuvther with the Irish Tenants Compensation Bill this session .
¦• WtlVItEGE . " Lord Brougham presented a petition from John Harlow , now in custody , stating that since the publication of the report of tho committee before wliich Mr . Baker gave evidenc * , the petitioner had suffered in liis trade and character by the _cirdulation of that report ; that proceedings iu a criminal court were nt that time pending in relation to the matter to which Mr , "R ite ' s testimony vefevved , and Mr . Baker was afterwards examined ns a witness in those proceedings , _butuever attcmptcdtoprovewli . it he had stated before the committee j that the statement was false and untrue , and the pet tioner trusted the house would be graciously pleased to make sonic allowance for his feelings being so wounded ; that ho would not have
taken thc . present proceedings if hehad been _ivwnre of their being a breach of privilege , and ho had accordingly instructed his solicitor to withdraw the action ; and the petitioner humbly expressed his extreme regret at liaving committed a breach of privilege , and hoped the house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence be had so unintentionally committed . The noble and learned lord added , that itwas impossible to express greater contrition for the grave and inexpiable offence of having resorted to the law of the laud . It was not known by the petitioner to boa crime ; itwas known only to Parliament ; it had never been promulgated in any law . He moved that John Ilarloiv be discharged out of custody on payment of his fees—for so , he was sorry to say , it m _. icf I ** .
The Ioed _CiU-VOEtioii , on the facts stated in the 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 ho bad said . ( A laugh . ) Lord Campbell concurred in discharging flu-petitioner , as he had expressed his sorrow for committing a breach of privilege : , which , however , wero so notorious that he thought no man could be ignorant of them . It would be very harsh to make the petitioner responsible for the sarcasms of tho noble and learned lord , which now were rather inopportune . The motion was agreed to ; and John Harloiv _xras then bronght to the bar .
The Loud _Chancellor said , —You have been guilty of a breach ofthe acknowledged privileges of this house , in bringing an action against Thomas Baker for words which he liad spoken iu the couvse of giving evidence before one of its committees . Por that offence you have been committed to custody . You have presented it petition in which you have _expressed contrition ; and you have also stated that you havegivmi _oi'dai's to discontinue the action . Tlieir lordships are disposed to'deal leniently with you , and , therefore , it is ordered _thaStiyou be discharged out of custody upou paying your fees . Mr . Harlow then withdrew .
Lord _Bbodgham then said , that after the rebuke hehad received from the junior law lord , who had therefore the zeal of a new recruit in the ranks ofthe peers und the cause of their privileges , he would not fall into the fault again , lest he also should be committed . Ho had now a petition 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 hc thereby committed a breach of privilege ; and lie 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 offenco he had unintentially committed . He ( Lord Brougham ) had to move that he be discharged on payment of his fees . The house vvouid do well not to meddle with the learned counsel , though he was the adviser and accessory before the fact . The _Loun Chancellor observed , that ho did not know who it was ; but if his noble and learned friend chose to move hc could do so .
Lord Campiiell thought quite enough had been done ( "Hear" from Lord Brougham ) , though nothing was to be regretted that had been done . From the zeal ef his noble and learned friend , he liad no doubt he would pay ihe fees both of tho attorney and the tobacconist , ( A laugh . ) Lord _BBOTJGHAJi-felthehad done quite enough in keeping his gravity during thc operation which had lately been performed . The motion being agreed to , Mr , Harbin was brought to ihehar .
flie Lord _CnAKCEttoit . —Tou havo been taken into custody for a breach of tho acknowledged privileges of this house . Thero ave circumstances which would bave led me to suppose that you had advisedly committed that 'ffencc , but I will not take upou myself to say that you have done so because you state yourself that you did it in i gnorance . You express your contrition for the offence , and tliat you are about to proceed to discontinue the action . Under tliese circumstances their lordships are ol •• pinion that you ought to be discharged upon paying your fens .
Mr . narbin withdrew . Lord Campseli . gave notice that early next session , unless the Government should do so or spine peer o f greater weight than himself , "the junior law lord , " and almost the junior in tlieir lordships ' house ( a laugh ) , he would introduce a bill to enable either house , on an action beinj ; 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 BaooGiiAM . —Thun there is an end of tbe privilege ; that is quite dear . The Foreign Lotteries Bill then went through committee .
The Earl of _CtARExooN * then _brought forward a motion relative to the construction placed by the Government on the treaties of this country with Spain , which construction had led to the refusal to admit SpunisU . produce on the footing of that of the 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 _AnEiinEEN entered at great length into the spirit of the treaties with Spain , contending that we were not bound to treat Spanish produco on tho same favourable terms as Spanish subjucts . The Earl of Raonob supported the motion . The Earl of Claee . vdom replied ; after wiiich Their lordships divided , aud the motion was negatived by a majority of 2 S to 14 . The remaining business was ttendisposed of , and the liouse adjourned , TnunsD _.-iy , July If . Their lordships met at live o ' clock .
The Constables Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill , thc Dog Stealing Jim , and the Drainage by Tenants for Life Bill , were severally read a third time and passed . On the motiou o : Lord Campiiell , the Defamation and Libel Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed . The third reading of the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill was then proposed and carried , ami tho housa adjourned .
_hniBAT , _Jtar IS . Lord Beadmoxt rose to move in compliance with thc notice which lie bad given , that a humble address be presented to her Majesty that she would be pleased to lay before their lordships certain papers and correspondence regarding the recent events in Syria . The object wliich he had in view m moving for tliese papers was that their _loi-dslnps might have a continuation of the papers and correspondence _lriiiuli had bean furnished on the subject in 1811 , in order that tbey might be enabled to form n jtidgment ofthe important question ofthe Levant , which , fov some time , threatened to involve Europo in war , and which he feared still contained the germ of future disturbance tothe peace of Europe , and whicli had constantly beena causeofjealousyand recrimuationbetweenEiiglnnd and 1 ranee . The noble lord then _refciued to tlic recent debate m the French chambers on tlic subject , and to the recent outrages between the Druses aud Maronites , and concluded by moving for the papers referred to-in his motion .
After a speech from the Earl of Aberdeen , the motion was agreed to . The Waste Land ( Australia ) Bill and the Field Gardens Bill wcre severall y read a second time . Their Lordships then adjourned _.

The house met atl 2 ' o ' cIock . LjmTics BIU , On thc motion of Lord Ashley , that the house go into committee ou this bill , Mr . T . Buncombe presented a petition from a Mr .

Mv . T . Dbscombe then objected to going into ' cpmlnittee . in tbe absence of thc right hon . baronet the Home Secretary . The hon . member wns proceeding to make objections to the whole measure , when Sir 3 . Graham entered , and took Ids place , on which Mr , T . Di-. vco . unj- said , that as the right hon . 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 5 .
Mr . _Wamiuktox moved toomit 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 he grunted 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 5 th of ¦ his late Majesty William IV ., in respect of sueh officers and clerks as mig ht enter the public service after the 4 th day of August , 1829 . Mr . S . CniwFOim said , he would object to any superannuation allowance to any commissioner ; and he cordially joined iu thc hope more than once expressed by his hon . friend ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) , that the bill might be given up altogether . Mr . C . W . Wv . vn and Sir C . _NiriEB were in favour of granting a superannuation allowance . Tlic amendment was then agreed to .
Mr T . DcNcoMBE then objected to the whole clause as amended , because he was bos . ile to the principle of superannuation , more particularly when , as was the case in this bill , the commissioners bad enormous salaries . Why were not superannuations given to inspectors of prisons ? lie must take the sense of the committee on this clause , as he was disposed to do on many-others of whieh he had given notice . Ho was driven to this courso by the noble lord and the right hou . bav . onet , who were anxious to force this bill through at such a time of the year and in such an attendance of members . Would the right lion _, baronet consent to let the commission be appointed for three years , that they might see how it worked 1
Sir J , _Guauasi 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 ns tbey rose ; but he sliould deeeivcthehou . gentleman if beheld out any hope thathe would consent to change the character ofthe commission from a permanent to a temporary nature . 3 Ir . _Waklev moved a proviso to thc effect , that no person be appointed as a paid commissioner whose age should exceed forty-live years by six months . After a short _di-icussion _, thc proviso was negatived . The committee then divided ou the clause . The numbers
were—For the clause - 43 Against it ... ... ... ... ... 3 ¦ Majority ... ... —10 The clause was then added to the bill . The other clauses up to clause 9 , exclusive , were passed without discussion . Oa the lOih clause ( for giving the secretary a pension ) , Mr , T , DtiNCOMiiE would not consent to giving this officer a salary of £ 800 a year , and then after ii few years to give him a retiring allowance . Mr . _Waki . ev fully concurred with his lion , colleague in entering his strongest protest against such a wasteful expenditure of the public money , particularly when he recollected tho 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 .
Oil our return to the gallery wc found the committee proceeding with several amendments , of which thehon . 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 tho report . * The committee then went back to clause 11 , and proceeded with that and the remaining clauses , whieh , being gone through , with the omission of clause lis ( ivhieh exempted Bethlehem ' Hospital from tho operation of the bill ) , The house resumed , and the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next , at twelve o ' clock . _OllAINAGE ( IRELAND ) HILL . On the motion of Sir T . Fremantle , tho 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 . _Fbemantle moved that this bill bo committed . Sir 11 , Fehguson objected to the bill nt that advanced hour , when they would not havo _sufficient time for going through more than a clause or two . He then moved that the house be counted , nnd there being only twentythree members present , the liouse adjourned . TiiunsDAT , July 17 . The house met at twelve o ' clock . The Highway Bates Bill ivas read a third timo and passed ; as were also the Militia Ballots Suspension Hill , the Loan Societies Bill , the Turnpike Acts Bill , aud the Unlawful Oaths ( Ireland ) Bill .
CUSHIONS _t-SCLOSURE BILL . The Earl of Lincoln moved the third reading of this Bill . Colonel Sibthorp protested against a Bill of this importance being proceeded ivith in the haste that marked its progress . Ile 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 thc house was fully attended , and not when tbe members were sure to be few . Ilr . II . R . Yorke supported the Bill , and believed it to be a very useful measure .
Mr . _SiiAaau . v Cha utobd opposed the bill as an invasion of the rights of the poor . If , indeed , these commons had becu inclosed , and tiie value of thein formed into a fund for the benefit of the poor , there would have bjen some plea of justice for it , aud some utility might have followed , but , as it was it was evidentl y an attempt to increase the property of the rich . There was no evidence that out of the 10 , 000 , 000 of acres of laud any of its ' would be appropriated 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 tho commons that made tho people poor , but
because those who had no other means resorted to the commons for support . With regard to tho objectiou that tliese commons would be turned into potato-gardenswhat if such were the case t It was better for these potato-gardens to be formed than that the independence and spirit of the poor man should bo broken down . He should contend that thc lands , if taken at all , should become the source of a fund for the relief or enjoyment of the poor , for he believed it would be hard for them to be ejected from their allotments without recompense ; and he should , therefore , divide the liouse on the motion being put that this bill do pass .
After speeches ironi Mr , E , B , Dcnison _/ iiid the Earl of Lincoln , ¦ Mr . _SiiAiiMAN CiiAWi'O'iD said tliere was no distinct provision for allotments , and he should therefore feci it his duty to record his opposition to the bill , by dividing the liouse . Strangers were then ordered to withdraw , and the house divided , when there appeaved—For the motion * 48 Against it . ... 0 Majority ... ... ' ... —48 The bill then passed . LUNATICS ASYLUMS AND PAOPEtt LUNATICS HILL , This bill was also read a third time , and passed . The sitting at half-past four was suspended till five o ' clock . Thehouse resumed at five o ' clock .
Sir It . Peel moved the second reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bemoval Bi'l which had come down to the house sanctioned by the almost unanimous approbation of the House of Lords . The right hon . baronet addressed thc house at great length , in advocacy ofthe justice of thc policy of removing these disabilities . Sir B . I . NOLisspoke in opposition to the bill , and moved that it be read tliat day six months . Mr . PiiUMPTRE seconded the amendment , contending that thc house was bringing down the displeasure of thc Most High by the measures they had passed , and wore passing , during the last and thc present session , Lord J , BirasEM . thought that the legislature in doing its utmost to remove religious strife and auimosities was pursuing a course more likely to draw down the blessing , than to incur the displeasure , of the Most High . He would g ive his hearty support to thc bill .
After some observations iroin Mr . M . Milnes , Mr , Trclawney , and another hon . member , the house divided , and the second reading was carried b y a majority of 81 to 91 . The liouse then went into committee on the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill , the discussion of whieh occupied nearly the whole ofthe remainder ofthe ovenin _* j , 1 ' rid . _vy _, July 18 . The Small Debts ( Xo . 8 ) Bill was read a second time .
I'tl . VI 'IIME . VT OF OFFENDERS IN STAFFORDSHIRE . Mr . T . llUNCOHBii wished to ask the ri ght hon . baronet whether he was prepared to lay on thc table of the house the report ol 'ilr . _llobins , relative to the system pursued by a magistrate and certain constables in Staffordshire in respect to thept . nishment of Eliza Frice ; and also whether , in addition to . _* . 'uch report , he would also produce a copy of the correspoi " . deuce between thc Government and tllC Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire upou the Subject ? He had recently ret --ved a communication from thc same neighbourhood , * _,. 'here it appeared that the same kind of treatment had heen pursued against two women under the warrant of a Mr . Briscoe . The deposition in respect to the _hotter prisoners , which had been laid before another magistrate , stated that tliey were two young girls- -one onl y eleven years of age and the other fourteen . The first was apprehended by a constable on the charge of stealing a halfpenny worth

ofcoals , and the latter for stealing a waistcoat of little value . Tiie" deponent , ' who was ! sister to one of these unfortuu ' ate girls , stated that she went to the constable , on the evening of her . committal , -who had Eliza Price in custody , when she found her sister in a back kitchen ; that she asked him whether she could have a bed , when he rep liedin the negative , as he had not one tliere ; that she then offered money to procure her sister a bed , which was also refused . On the following morning she again called , When she found her sister wnh _handcufts upon her and chained to the grate . On the next morning she celled and found her sister in the same dreadful condition , and the other prisoner Emma Woodhall also _ ...... „ .. . X ... -, ..- . _... oia _'/ . _nnl . nf little
chained in like manner to the grate . Her sister said that she had never been washed since she was taken into custodv , anid asked deponent for some soap . This statement was corroborated by another sister of the deponent . It appeared that ' Mr . Briscoe , before whom tliese two voting girls wcre brought , had desired the constable to take them to his liouse , where they were connncd loi _* four _-luys , . n _.. a were both clin ' ined lo the grate _«\ the WeU kitchen , He ( Mr . Buncombe ) observed that this appeared to be a most monstrous case of cruelty , and that the constable , if found guilty of having acted so to these young women , should be made an example of , and the most effectual means taken to put an end to such a system that was alleged to prevail in the neighbourhood of Mr .
Briscoe ' s magisterial authority . Sir J . Graham said he had not the least objection to produce the papers asked for , from whieh papers the honourable member for Finsbury would see that he had pointed the attention ofthe Lord Lieutenant to this practice of chaining prisoners upon mere night charges , which he stated was most reprehensible , and he had pointed out to thc Lord Lieutenant the ' necessity of directing the magistrates' attention to the _subject with a view of inducing them to use their inilueiice to check this practice , which he was sorry to sec had prevailed in that distriet . The conduct ' pursued in respect to the recent cases mentioned by the hon . member was also most unjustifiable . MILITARY PUNISHMENT AT WINDSOR .
Mr . Waklev said that pursuant to his notice he wished to ask the right hun . gentleman the . Secretary at War a question having reference to a report that bad lately appeared in the JAi-nt ' iu * Chronkie , of a transaction whicli had occurred last Saturday , in-connection with the ' . ' ml batiilion of Coldstream Guards , at WindsoV . By that statement it appeared that a whole company of soldiers were ordered toslrip themselves naked , for the purpose of being examined bythe surgeon of the regiment , and in consequence of two of the soldiers refusing to obey such an order , a court-martial was held upon the spot , and un order made ihat these soldiers should'receive 100 lushes each , which was at once indicted on them , the whole _procjcdinjis , including the _court-iuariial and punishment , only occupying a period of two hours and a half .
Mr . _lIi'ititEliT replied , to the effect that many of the soldiers being affected with a certain disease , the stripping was necessary to see who were diseased and who were not , to separate the parties , and prevent the infection spreading . Tliat the two . soldiers who ivere Hogged peisisting in _disobeying the _orders of their officers , the punishment was therefore necessary and justifiable . Mr . Wakley said nothing could be more indelicate or indecent , or more repulsive to a proper and correct feeling that should be encouraged among men , than for soldiers to be placed under the necessity of _undergoing such an examination naked , in the presence of a large company oi" their comrades . He knew that it was hi ghly dangerous to make this house a court of appeal on these occasions ; but when he knew that in the House of Correction , in this metropolis , there were at present _sc-o . _ity soldiers confined , it was quite clear that there was something wrong iu the government of the army . ( Hear , hear , )
CHINESE WAR . —Pit I HE MONEY , Upon the order of the day being read for going into a committee of supply , Captain Berkeley moved the following amendment , " that this house will' upon tho day of this instant July , resolve itself into " a committee , for thc purpose of considering the propriety of an address to her Majesty , humbly requesting that she will be graciously pleased to take into consideration the claims for further pecuniary recompense of the officers , seamen , soldiers , and marines engaged in the operations against the Chinese empire , in the years ISiO , 1 S 41 , and ISM .

Avfahum Death Of A 1ou.\T. Lady Numxci T...
AvFAhum Death of a 1 ou . \ t . Lady _numxci the holdixg op an Lnqukst os umi BitOTiiKit . —On Friday forenoon Mv . Wakloy , M . P ., opened an inquest at tho . Masons' Arms , Devonshire-street , Portlandplace , on the body of Mr . Ellis William Dclisser , aged nineteen , a student about to enter college , residing with liis mother and family , at No . 1 , Devonshircstrcet . The deceased , who was cue of the sons of the late Dr . Dclisser , had recently returned with his family from Italy , and died suddenly on tho evening of Monday last . The jury liad viewed the body , and Mr . 0 . B . Brcarcr , surgeon , 73 , Great Portlandstrcot , who had attended Mr . Dclisser , was under examination , when suddenly the court was thrown into the greatest consternation by thc arrival ofa servant , who begged the attendance of the medical
gentleman , as Miss Matilda Dclisser , a young lady , only fifteen years of age , and sister of the deceased , had -fallen from the sccoml-floor window . Mr . Brcavcy , Ihe Burgeon , rushed out ofthe room , followed by the jury , and subsequentl y b y tlic coroner , Mr . Wakley beta- "* * requested to attend by some of thc relatives . On arriving at the mansion , wliich is at thc corner of the Portland-road , aud exactly opposite the Masons' Arms , the unfortunate young lady was discovered lying on the stones of the area weltering iu blood , wliich was still flowing from a wound in the head and from her _ears _^ She was conveyed into an apartment , and on examination by Mr . Wakley and Mr . Brcarcy , it was ascertained that the skull had been completely driven in upon the brain . Mr . Liston was promptly sent for , and cverv effort that medical
skill could suggest was used , but without eitect , as the unfortunate young lady only survived the occurrence one hour and thirty-live minutes . The window from which Miss Dclisser fell was that of her bed room , and from a large cut discovered behind one ofher cars it was supposed she must have struck against some object in her descent . This proved to be the case , for on examination a pair of mirrors placed oufcsido tho _di'iiwing-i'ooin window , immediately _iiiuloithat from which she fell , for the purpose of reflecting passing objects , were shattered , and the iron-work supporting them almost doubled . No one was with the young lady at the time , and , therefore , it is impossible to say whether the
occurrence was the result ol design or accident on her part ; the general impression , however , is that she was endeavouring to reach out of the window , whieh is very low , in order , if possible , to see into the inquest-room at thc Masons' Anus , and overbalancing herself fell into the area , a depth of forty feet . The state ofthe mother and cither relatives ' of the deceased at so sad an affliction may bo more readily imagined than described ; and in consc _<] tience oi * the necessary absence ef the medical man , Mr . Wakley was compelled to adjourn the inquest he had opened on Miss Deiisser ' s brother . Dr . Dclisser , the father of the young lady and gentleman , died suddenly only fourteen months since .

Wigax Misers . —We havo received thc following _communication- —Respected Sir , —Will you be so kind as to insert tho following communication from the Miners of the Wigan district , relative to a paragraph whieh has reoently been going the round of the Lancashire newspapers ; it is as follows : — "Lanca-¦ di ii ' ii Miners . —During the late strike a number of Welsh and Irish Colliers wcre introduced into tiie collieries of Lancashire and Staffordshire . It appears that in the neighbourhood of Wigan many ot' the Welsh have given anything but satisfaction to their cmployors , and accordingly they received notice that they would be paid , weekly wages only up to Saturday week last , and ai ter that time thev must work by the piece . This produced a long _' _consu'tatioii among them , and at length they decided to leave I ' or Wales on the following Saturday . _Accordingly at the appointed time crowds of them presented themselves at tho 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 . lb will be recollected that the Miners of Kirkless Colliery , Wigan , were under the _painlul necessity of strikinc against unjust _a- ' - grassions made upon their _privileges by the agent who had the superintendence of thc _worlk A ¦ rcat number of Welshmen were introduced iuto the pit at weekly wages amounting on an average to £ 1 2 s pet * week , each man .

The Speculative _Gamiili . vg in Iiielaxd . — Tlio Dublin correspondent ofthe Times , in his " city _article" of Tuesday has the following : — " Outside the Stock Exchange a very uneasy , if not gloomy , feel _, ing prevails with respect to the ultimate issue of tlio barefaced - .-ambling , which has been carried on to such an extraordinary pitch sinco last November ; no class of the community , from thc peer to the shop _, boy , seeming to have wholly escaped tho dangerous infeetinn . ' It will be an agreeable surprise if in sonio six months hence these fears bo not realised to an extent even beyond thciuostunfavourablcaiiticipations . Irish Riot is Laxakksiuri _* .- —Clarkston was tlm
theatre cf a most _disgraceful riot , or rather nocturnal brawl , at three in the morning of Monday thc 14 th inst ., the whole villagers being aroused at that early hour bya scries of fights in the streets . Thc rioters werc principally Irish miners and labourers . Bind _, gcons . sticks , stones , broken heads , Ac ., thc usual ingredients of an 1 . ish row , were quite rife : but here ( we presume forthe sake of variety ) fire arms wereusedtocomplete the picture . Wc * understand some parties have been seriously hurt . The authorities are investigating the affair . Since writing tlio above , wc have made inquiries as to the riot in ques . tion , and find that it has been of a more dangerous " character than we anticipated . It arose from " some
of those senseless bickerings betwixt the Orangemen and Catholics which arc so prevalent about thc 12 th of July . The Catholics paraded the streets betwixt Airdric , ltawyavds , and Clarkston , to the extent of 300 or 400 , demolished a toll-bar , pulled down a house , and wc ourselves counted 101 ) broken windows in the village of Clarkston . There are nine ncrsons hurt , two dangerously ; and the leaders of tlic sang have absconded . A meeting of the district justices was hcid on Monday , to take precautionary steps , as ihe report ivas current that another row was to take placo that night , in whieh event special constables would be sworn in . A disposition to riot was tho whole day observant about Eawyards , but was checked by thc police—Edinburgh Weekly Register .
