HOUSE OP LORDS—Tuesday , Afbix 30 . The printipal business was the second reading of a ¦ very important measure , the Creditor and Debtor Bill , the provisions of -which "were staled by Loild Coteskham . The object of the bill is to fc-sirailate the law relating to bankrupts and insolvents , by abolishing altogether imprisonment for debt , sad giving to the creditor greater facilities for obtaining cessio bonenim . Debts contracted without prospect of being able to pay them , are to bs treated as fraudulent transactions , and the delinquents may
be tried before a jury , and punished according to the fligraccy of the case . The future property of insolvents , like that of bankrupts , is to be exempted from the pc > iTer of former creditors ; and all proceedings ia brjikrcp ^ ey ai ) d insolvency are to be assimilated , r d carried on in ona conjt , before one set ot judges-Tbe Lobd Chaxceixob expressed his unqualified approbation of the bill , the provisions of which he ¦ would have introduced into his Bankruptcy Bill had he no : been nnwiliiEg to encumber it -Kith details whici might hav ? delayed it 3 progress through Parliament .

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tcssdat , Apbtl 30 . A large amount of private -business was gone into in tbe early part of the sitting , one of the jnatters which provoked lively jdebat * and divisions being the Bill for ihe 2 fewbury , Baaugstoke , London , and Southampton Railway , the supporteis of which , however , carried it through the stage at which it stood . Mr . Ccbdes postponed his motion for a select r ¦ mmitiee to inquire into the effect of the protective duties upon the national revenue until that day week , rh » place which it occupied on the notice
paper precluding tbe probability of its being brought on at a sufficiently early hour to do the subject justice . Tie first regular motion on the paper , was one by Mr . Fox Mantle , for leave to bring in a bill to reeula * e ihe administration of oaths in the universities of Scotland . Tne motion was seconded by Sir Ajdbew Leith Hat . Sir James Ghahah opposed tbe motion . A leugihy discussion followed , en the division iaMng place there appeared Tot the motion ..... 101 Against it ...... — . 128
Majority ...,. 27 Lord EBSiyeros moved for certain papers connected with flie case of the archdeaconry of Armagh , in a speech in which he entered into the details of the various circumstances involved . Lord Euot cave some explanations in reply , and after a , brief discussion the production ef the papers was agreed to . Sir D . Isokrets rcse to move the appointment of a Sslect Committee on Poor Laws in Ireland j but
Mr . Bbothertojj , amid some confusion , exclaimed *¦ Jso , no , I won ' t stand it ( laughter ) : it's halfpast twelve , and I move that the House do now adjourn . " jklr . Spsakeb , —Sir Denham Jiorreys . Sir D . Kobbets moved the Committee , whereupon Mr . Shaw expressed a hope that the Government Trere not about to permit thi 3 Committee to be appointed . If they did , the consequence would be to paralyze the operation of the Poor Law in Ireland , and in fact , for a time , to suspend the law altogeiher .
Sir B , Peel said , that certainly it would not be ; light thai this committee should be appointed with-1 out a distinct declaration on the p 3 rt of Her Maje 3- j ty ' s Government , that the Poor Law in Ireland j ought to be and should be maintained . Tbe Govern- j ment had done all in their power to put that law j Into effective operation ; and it must be clearly understood , that in bow acceding to the appointment of the Committee , they were taking a step which they considered advisable , becanse , seeing that in some parts of Ireland there was an "" unreasonableI Objection to the law , they thought it possible that by showing its satisfactory operation in other quarters i they would doing something to reconcile publicj f : -Sngio tbe enactment where it was less understood , i The Committee was then appointed . - 1 The other orders of the day having been disposed of , the house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock .
VYedxesdat , Mat 1 . j Captain Lataild presented a petition in favour of a , Ten Hours' Bill . i Mr . Wieuams presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire in favour of a Ten Hours' Bill . Hr .

MASTERS AKD SERVANTS' BILL . Mr . Gisbobxe presented a petit ioa against the Masters and Servants' BilL Sir B- Hall presented a petition from the parish of Si , Pancras against the Masters acd Servants ' Bill ; also petitions from the same parish against the New Poor Law . Mr . Axdah presented petitions against the Masters and Servants' BilL On the motion for going into Committee on tho Masters and Servants' Billj Mr . T . Dukcombs presented twenty-nine petitions against the Bill . On the motion that the Spj £ a £ -EB do leave tbe chair ,
Mr . T . DuycoatBE rose for the purpose of giving effect , as far as it laid in his po ^ er , to the petitions that he had just presented to the- House , and he jnnst say , that as far as it was in bis power to adopt it j there wa 3 no form of tbe House he would not use as a weapon to defeat an enactment wbich had been truly designated in some of those petitions as one of the most inadEous , oppressive , arbitrary , and tyrannical attempts to oppress the working classes that Tvas ever made— ( a laugh ) . It might suit Hon . Gentleman to laugh at an attempt to oppress the working classes—{ " no , no" )—but if the House would give him its attention , he ' would prove to it , and would satisfy the public , that this was the object—and the sole object—of the Bill . He had reason to complain that the Bill had arrived at ihi 3 stage at alL To tbe original" Bill , no one could object ; it had a humane object in view , and though it increased " the power of the justices , yet it was for the purpose of
facilitating ihe recovery of wages—( hear ) . Under that belief , the House passed the Bill through its first stages , but it was under false colours and false pretences . It wa 3 then proposed to go into Committee to mike certain alterationsj those alterations were inade , and the Bill came out of Committee without a sngleword , from the first line of the preamble to tiie last lineinit , referring # o that object . -Therefore , it ¦ could not be said that the Bill had been read either a first or second time . The Bill had been brought to its present stage undertake colours and false preienoes . Now , what was the reason assigned for this Beaenre 1 ( Whenhis Hon . Friend , the- Member for Lambeth , asked for some explanation the otherjoisfht , the Secretary of State for tb * Home Department said be did sot approve of the ma&nez in which the Bill W ^ s drawn , and he referred him to ihe Hon . Member for Somersetshire , . The HoruMember for Somerset shire said thai the Bill was drawn op by the desire ofthe Government .
Sir James Ghaham—The form of the Bill was approved by me , not the substance , ' . Mr . T . Doscombb said it was the substance of the BUI which he had to deal with—he cared nothing about the shadow . ( Laughter . ) Now , if he went to the Hon . Member for Somersetshire , and

complained of the provisions of the BUI , he said they were forced upon him by the Government ; whereas the Right Hon . Gentleman said he wasuot responsible for them . The Hon . Member for Borkshire said it was a totally different Bill from what he approved , and the Hon . Member for Nottinghamehire expressed a similar opinion . Now he repeated that this Bill had not been properly read a second time . Now what were the provisions of this Bill which were so objectionable ! A new principle
was introduced by the Bill unknown to the Legislature of the country . ( . Hear , hear , hear , and lond cheers . ) The only legislation in reference to labour which bad heretofore taken place had been in respect to persons hired for a certain term , and the magistrates had power to fine or imprison persons who had not fulfilled their contract . But this power was never given in cases of piece or jeb work—{ hear , hear ) . They were now going to confer a power of this kind on the magistrates . By this Bill a person wosld be liable to be sent to the House of Correction
for two months on the single oath of a foreman—( hear , hear ) . If this were the case , could they be surprised that they had petitions on the subject from every species of trade in the kingdom . This Bill would iSect every species of labour . The Right Hon . Gentleman intended that the Bill should only affect labourers employed in husbandry . But as it stood now it would affect those employed in factories . Tney might be imprisoned for two months upon the oaih of the foreman or overseer if they were only five minutes too late—( hear ) . In order to carry out this Bill they proposed to repeal six Acts ; and it would be well before this iniquitous Bill received tbe Eupport of tbe House , that Hon . Gentlemen should know what those acts were . The first Act
which was proposed to be repealed was the 5 th of Elizabeth , c . 4 ; and on referring to that Act it would be found in the preamble that the object of the Statute was to protect the labourer , and to secure to artizanB wages of a higher rate than was paid at the time , which both Houses of Parliament affirmed to be too small . He wished tc call the attention of those who were in favour of a Ten Hours' Bill to the provisions of this Act , which was now sought to be repealed . The Act of Elizabeth regulated the hours of labour as fourtet > n hours , from March to September , in the thirty-two trades , and ten hours from September to March . Between the months of September and March the time was still more limited ; they were allowed the same period of time for their meals , and they were only to labour from sunrise to sunset , and no one was compelled to work longer . Having limited the hours of labour and settled the wageB of labour by law , it was the
but ri ^ ht that magistrates should have the power of compelling parties to work ; but this Act was to be remaltd , and nothing for the satisfaction or security of the working classes enaoted in its place . Tbe 20 th George II _ was also to be repealed by that Act , which was considered nearly obsolete . Any servants convicted of misconduct were liable to be corrected and imprisoned . There was nothing in tha : Act relating to piece or job work . The 27 th G-eorge II . merely repealed a proviso of the lastmentioned Act ; and tbe 31 st George II ., which was passed in 1757 , made the law applicable to husbandry servants hired for a less period than one year . TbeAotof 4 ? h George IV ., passed in 1823 , said nothing of job work , but related to tbe violation of contracts for service , and enacted either that such contract a must be in writing , or else that the servant mast have entered upon his hiring , which ¦ was to be taken as evidence of the existence of a
contract ; in either of which cases , if the servant violated bb contract by neglecting his work , be was liable to imprisonment . These were the Acts which it was now proposed to repeal . In this Bill it did not matter how much the master misbehaved himself , the punishment only related to the servant —( " Hear , hear , " from Mr ! Ferrand ) . This was nothing bm one law for tbe rich and another for the poor—one for the employer and another for the employed . He called upon the House not to sanction the principle which was contained in this BilL What had Sir Augustus Henniker said at the Suffolk Quarter Sessions litely ?—That if they sent down the whole body of police trom London they would not keep the people quiet , unless they
materially altered in their treatment of them . Such was that gentleman ' s opinion—so great was the disconteDt ; and he ( Mr . Dnncorobe ) would advise them to take care that this feeling did not spread ; that it did sot work its way into the manufacturing districts . The other day when discussing tbe subject of the limitation of the hours of labour , Sir James Graham had said to those in the House favourable to limitation that the hoiking classes did not agree in opinion with them—that they had forwarded no petition in its favour—( hear ) . Well , they would see now what was the effect of petitioning . Against this Bill nearly two hundred petitions had been presented—( cheers ) . He ( Mr . Doncombe ) asked him ( Sir Jas . Graham ) where "were hiB petitions in favour of
it—( bear , hear ) ! Those petitions against the Bill represented nearly two millions of people , asking the House not to pass this BilL If the House went into Committee upon it , he should feel it his duty to read several extracts from those petitions ; but he did hope he had made out such a case as would induce the House to reject a Bill which would create more discontent , if passed , than any act that that or any former House had ever been gu ilty of . Therefore , he trusted they would at x > nce reject it , and so proteot thousands , and hundreds of thousands , who were not there to protect tbemelves . Tbe Hon . Gentleman concluded by moving , as an amendment , that the House do resolve itself into a committee on the Bill this day six months .
Mr . P . Howard was understood to second the
motion . Mr . Hume , in the hope to put a stop at oace to this Bill , would appeal to the Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir James Graham ) to allow the order for the Committee to be disharged , and either introduce a new Bill , or send the matter to a Committee up stairs , where it could b « thoroughly examined , and then reported upon . The only proper principle in such a Bill was toiflake its provisions alike applicable to all , eo that it might equally protect the master against the servant , as tbe servant against the master . Tbis BUI did no snch thing ; and he could assure the Right Honourable Baronet tbat it had created the greatest excitement amongst the labouring classes . Sir J . Graham had not the least difficulty in
assuring the House , that he had no desire to do anything which would interfere with the interests of the working-classes . His impression of the existing law was , that it operated injuriously to the workman , and too favourable to the employer . Under the present law a labourer might be committed to prison for three months , with hard labour at the discretion of a single magistrate upon tbe complaint of the master . On the other hand if the servant had a good ground of complaint against the master , the magistralehad now power to adjudicate . Bat this Bill gavp to the magistrate tbe power of giving damages against the master , and allows tbe arrest of the servant only upon -warrant issued in cases where the servant was about to abscond , or had
absconded . The power of imprisonment was limited , and confined within the limits of the Bill introduced by the Hon . Member for Montrose ( Mr . Hume ) , called the Arbitration Act . Tbe only novelty in the Bill was the question whether the House of Commons would extend the operation of the Act of George the Second to what was called piece-work . He thought that was a very fair subject of discussion to the House . He bad fairly stated to the House the present state of the law , and the alterations contemplated , and he should oppose the motion of the Hon . Gentleman the Member for Finsbury , and should vote for the measure going into Committee . Mr . Gkaikges opposed the BilL
Mr . Miles had some difficulty in saying whether this Bil . was his , or whether it belonged to the Government . ( Laughter . ) He thought if Hon . Gentlemen had looked carefully into the Bill , thry would have found that there was not a very material difference between the present Bill and the former one . The Bill he considered to be necessary , for the present law was entirely against the servant . He admitted that formerly no damages could be given on either side , but now damages can be given on either side , and it would be a question when they
got into Committee , whether , in case of a refusal to pay damages , there &hould not be a power of imprisonment against the master . If he were to have the Bill at all , he should hope to have advice and assistance on every clause of it in a Committee of that House . Bat as to a Committee up stairs , they all knew what they would probably end in . ( Cries of " Divide , divide . ") Mr . Berkal thought the Bill ought to have been introduced by the Government and on their own responsibility alone .
Mr . Estcoobt considered that the fourth clause ought to be fatal to the Bill . It was no argument in favour of this BUI that worse Bills had been passed in more barbarous times . Sir G . Stbicklahd opposed the Bill . It would affect the relations between employers and employed in every branch of industry . It would place in the hands of the employer an immense engine of opprea-Baon ; . . tHe&r- ) There was no analogy between the conditions of the two parties . The master oould discharge the servant without anhonrt notice , and there was no reason why his power would be increased He felt therefore bound to vote against the motion . Mr . Gallt Khioht was convineed from what had been said by both sides of the House—both Whin
an df ory-thaV there mnrtibe something essentially bad in the Bill . He hwT been greatly Burprised at hearing himself described aa a monster and a tyrant , because hia name was on the back of the Billdaughter ) . He believed that the opposition to the Bill in the House was owing in a great measure to its being coincident with the strike of the colliers in the North—( cries of "Oh , oh , " and laughter ) . He believed that the Bill would only effect such alterations in the law as would benefit the working classes . If the Bill were thrown out , the existing laws would press as hardly as ever upon the colliers . He would support the Bill . Mr . P . Howabd , though admitting tbat it might be very wise and prudent to consolidate the law relating to master and servant , remarked that we

might " bny gold too dear . " He opposed the Bill , and hoped it would be withdrawn until next session , when it might be re-introdabed by the Member for the Home Department . This little slip excited very great laughter . The cries of *• Divide , divide' * were renewed . Mr . Collect said , as the bill went to increase the power of the magistrates , and many of the clergy were magistrates , and , aa he was altogether opposed to increasing the power of the olersv . he should
oppose the bill with all his power . Mr . 3 t Palmer , amidst much impatience , which rendered him at times quite inaudible , was understood to explain the circumstances under wnioh his name appeared on the back of the bill . An alteration in the law had become advisable , in consequence of some recent decisions of the Court of Queen ' s Bench . Nothing had been further from the intentions of those who framed the bill than to oppress the labourer . The House then divided , when the numbers
were—Tor the motion 54 Foi the amendment 97 Majority for the amendment ... — -43 The Bill is consequently lost . The result was received with loud cheering . Mr . R . Scott moved that the House go into Committee on the Detached Parts of Counties Bill . A brief discussion followed , and the first clause of the Bill being disposed of , the House adjourned at a qnarter-past seven o ' clock .

A Dashing Mendicant . —At Marylebone on Saturday , a very stylishly-dressed young man , who gave his name Thomas Edwards , was placed at the bar before Mr . Long , charged by Horsford , an officer in the employ of the Mendioity Society , who stated that on the previous evening , about eight o ' clock , the prisoner was soliciting alms of ladies and gentlemen in Oxford-street . The prisoner said he bad been a shopman at Newcastle-upon-Tyne , but being out of employment , had come to London to see the
sights , when being without money he was forced to beg . Horsford—When I took you , you said you had not been in London more than an hour or two , and that you walked up ; now , that could not have been so , because your boots were highly polished , and had not a particle of dust upon them . Prisoner ( drawing a shining brush from the pocket of his surtout)—I had just brushed it off with this , and I invariably carry it about with me for that purpose . Tbe fashionable mendicant was committed for fourteen days to the House of Correction .
Horrible Murder ahd Suicide at Belpkr , Der-BTSHiRE . —Between one and two o ' clock in the afternoon on Monday last , the inhabitants of Belper were thrown into a state of great excitement by the announcement that a mechanio named Yeomans , for some time past employed at Messrs . Strutt ' s mills , bad murdered his wife , and afterwards out his own throat . Yeomans was a married man , somewhat turned fifty , and had a family , the eldest son being married . It appears that for some time past he and his wife have not lived happily together , the cause being a suspioion by the husband of his wife ' s infidelity . In the course of Monday morning , he called at a joiner ' s shop , and requested permission to sharpen a pocket-knife and a common tablo-knife , and , having done so , went away . About half-past one o ' clock the next door neighbour heard a
knocking against the wall , and a terriffio scream , and on proceeding to the door found that it was locked . An alarm was given , and a smith opened the door , when a most revolting spectacle presented itself . In one part of the lower room , her head resting upon a chair , lay the body of Mrs . Yeomans , apparently lifeless . About a yard from her lay her husband , weltering in blood , his throat dreadfully cut . On further investigation , it was found that neither party was dead , and two surgeons were immediately called in ; but Yeomans gasped his last immediately afterwards . Tbo skull of tbe unfortunate woman was shockingly beaten with tbe poker , and she died the following day , having remained senseless during the interval . Jealousy was the cause of the sad atrocity , and it is feared there was too much reason for the
huBband's suspicions . Arson . — -Mary Pettigrew , an aged widow , and her daughter , Mary Ann Joblyns , were brought up for final examination at Worship-street , on Monday , charged with having wilfully set tire to the house , No . 21 , Old-street-road , wbich had been tenanted by the elder prisoner for nearly forty years . They were both committed for trial .. Robbery . —A young man , was charged at Bowstreet with having committed a robbery to a large amount ¦ upon Mr . Henry Mason , a publisher , at Brighton . The prosecutor was staying at the Exeter Cufifee-bou * e , Strand , and had taken out his purse , containing a considerable sum in notes , to pay hiB bill before going to bed . Tne money was then all safe , but he missed it about six in the morning . Having . called up tbe landlord he went for a policeman , and the prisoner was taken while endeavouring to leave the house with some of the notes on his person . He was remanded .
Terrific Fire and Rumoured Loss o » Life . — On Friday morning a fire , which for terrific fury has not had its parallel in the metropolis for some time , broke out in the extensive feather and bedding manufactory belonging to Messrs . Blakeley and Thomas , feather merchants and importers , Bishopsgate-street Without . The flames were only partially subdued by half-past three o ' clock , and at that time it was stated that some one who slept upon the premises was missing , and great fears are entertained that the poor fellow is burned to death .
Fatal Accident . —On Saturday , a youth named Newton , about twelve years of age , son of Mr . Newton , builder , of Brinnington , near Stockport , who was anniBing himself by taking birds' nests iu Bredbui-y , climbed a tree in the field near the residence of Mr . H . Barlow , and whilst attempting to reach a nest he lost his hold and fell head foremost . His feet , however , became entangled in the branches , and he was in tbis manner suspended for some time till he fell to the ground , and bis head then coming in contact with some stones , he received such injuries as to cause his death the same night .
Fatal Accident at Bredburt . —On Tuesday last , an inquest was hold before Mr . Hudson , at the White Hart , Bredbury , on the body of Henry Sidebotham , aged 32 . Deceased worked as a dresser , in a cotton mill , and was much addicted to drinking . On Saturday night last , he was very much intoxicated , and way put to bed in tbat state about ten o ' clock . Between one and two o ' clock in the morning , his father and the rest of the family were awoke by a noise as of some one falling : assistance was procured , and on a search being made , deceased was found at the bottom of the stairs , lying in a pool of blood . He had , on getting up , falien down stairs , and , coming down on bis head , fractured his skull . A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned .
A Woman killed by her Husband . —Considerable excitement prevailed in Bircfe-etreet , Hillgate , Stockport , on Sunday afternoon , from the circumstance of a woman having been killed by her husband , about one o ' olock at noon of the same day . The name of the unfortunate woman is Harriet Parrot , and the husband James Parrot , | who has been the cause of her death , was by trade a bricksetter . The deceased has for some time associated with the class of women called unfortunate , and her husband , who bears but an indifferent character , it is said , encouraged her in her infamous conduct . Parrot and deceased frequontly quarrelled , and on Sunday noon , whilst quarrelling , ho knocked her down , and then gave nor a severe kick on the right side of the neck , about an inch and a half below the ear , which immediately caused her death . Parrot , on seeing the deed he had perpetrated , immediately decamped , but was apprehended in the course of the
afternoon . The : Recent Lamentable Accident at the Doteb Railway Terminus . —Death of another of the Svfferers . —At eleven o ' clock on Monday night another of the unfortunate sufferers by the lato fatal accident at the Dover Railway Terminus expired at Guy ' s Hospital . His name is John Matthews , and aged 42 . The chief injuries he received were severe wounds on the head , which ultimately produoed inflammation on the brain and caused death .
Fatal Accident . —A most deplorable accident , ocourred on Friday afternoon last , at the parish of "Upton , by which a fine young man , John Robert Fisher , corn and flour dealer , Northgate-street , Gloce&ter , lost his life . Mr . Fisher ocoupies the fifth flour mill at Upton parish , to which a small farm ib attached , and his son , the unfortunate deceased , was in the habit of assisting in the work * About three o'clock he and the miller went to clean out the boar ' s sty , and with this view the miller endeavoured to drive the animal out of the sleepinghouse with a shove } , but did not succeed , the boar refusing to &tir . Mr . Fisher observing this , opened the door of the sty still wider than it was , and holding a stick in his hand , Baid to his companion , I'll very soon drive him out . " But no sooner had he advanced hia right leg than the ferocious animal rushed out , and seized him by the thigh with hia teeth and tusks . The

The Case of Lowther . —On the authority of tbe York Courant , we announced in our last the intended execution ef Lowther at Yoik , on Saturday , the 20 th instant . After we had gone to press , the information reached us that another respite had been received at the Caatle , which will be in force " until further orders . " It is expected , therefore , the prisoner will be transported for life . The Will Forgers . —The tr * al of Barber , Fletcher , Dorey , aad the two Sanders , which has excited so much of the public attention , came to a final termination on Monday last On being placed at the bar , Mr . Straight asked them if they had anything to say why judgment should not be passed upon them according to law . The prisoner all remained silent for & few moments ,
until Mr . Wilkins , turning to his client , said , " Now , Barber , is yout time to epeak . " Baiber addressed the Court at considerable length , explaining his connection with Fietcher , and imputing to that individual tbe guilt of the whole transaction . He insisted that he bad beeu but the dupe of Fletcher ; and , in proof of his assertion , lead a good deal of correspondence and other documentary evidence . He concluded his address as follows : —It is in consequence of tbe deception practised upon me by Fietcher that I am now standiug before your Lord « hlp « . i assure you , my Lords , meat solemnly , that throughout this business I have acted merely as a solicitor . At tbe conclusion of the trial on Friday , I solemnly declared what I sow solemnly repeat , that I am perfectly innocent of
the charge imputed to me , of a guilty knowledge of these transactions ; and I conjure Mr . Fletcher , as he would have some peace in bis declining years , to declare to your Lordships whether I have not been made the victim of a deception . I am quite aware that your Lordships must act upon the verdict that was pronounced on Friday ; but I sincerely hope that your Lordships in passing sentence upon me will take into consideration tbe circumstances I have now , very incoherently , submitted to your consideration , I declare that I am innocent of the crime imputed to me . As I expect to answer for the declaration in a future world , I solemnly declare that I have been deceived by this man , Fletcher , who had obtained my confidence . The delivery of this address occupied upwards of an hour .
Tbe prisoner manifested extreme self-possession throughout , and spoke with great fluency , firmness , and clearness . Fletcher said if he had practised any deception upon Barber , as had been asserted , he had himself beeu previously deceived . He added—I Solemnly assert , that my conduct would have been viewed in a very different light I may state that I have bees suffering for some time from a disease of Ihe heart , and I implore your Lordships to take that into conaideiation in determining my sentence . William Sanders said that he bad endeavoured to make all the amends in his power for his conduct in tbis transaction , and he had only to implore the mercy of the court for hiB wife and himself . Mis . Dorey ( who appeared extremely ill and faint ) and Mrs . Sanders declined to make any statement .
Mr . Baron Gurney then addressed the prisoners as follows : —Prisoners at the bar , yon now stand to receive tbe judgment of the Court . Yuu , Joshua Fletcher and Georgian * Dorey , have been found guilty on two several Indictments ; and you , William Henry Barber , William Sanders , and Lydia Sanders , have severally been once Convicted .: With regard to you , Joshua Fletcher , it is quite clear that for a long period of time you have been carrying on a series of most wicked frauds by means of forgeries of the worst description , and have sought out tools and instruments to assist you in those ijefariouB practices- Tour station in life , to a certain extent , aggravates the offence , for which , only a few years ago , your life would in all probability have beeu sacrificed . The Court , looking at all the
circumstances of your cose , consider it impossible to remit any portion of the extreme punishment which tbe law still awards for such crimes ; the sentence therefore is , that yuu be transported beyond the seas tor tbe term of your natural life . You , William Henry Barber , have been convicted as aa accessory before tbe fact in uttering a certain forged will . After a long and impartial investigation , the Jury have felt themselves constrained to say you are guilty of the serious offence ; and I am instructed to say tbat the Learned Judge who presided on your trial is perfectly satisfied of the propriety of that verdict ; and , notwithstanding what has transpired this morning , there has been no change whatever in tbat opinion ; and whether your associate had confirmed or denied your assertions , it
would have made no difference in his conviction of the propriety of that verdict . Your station in life is the highest possible aggravation of the offence , and the Court can see no reason whatever to distinguish your case from that of tbe prisoner Joshua Fletcher . The sentence of tbe Court therefore is , that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of your natural ife . With respect to yon , William Sanders , tbe Court considers there is some difference in your case from that of the two other prisoners , although your offence is still of a very heinous description ; your situation in life is also somewhat different from that of the other prisoners . Tbe Court , therefore , acting as mercifully as their duty to the public will allow , sentence you to
bo transported beyond tbe seas for the term of seven years . You , Lydla Sanders and Oeorgina Dorey , the Court are inclined to distinguish very materially from all tbe other prisoners , as they think you have been the tools and instruments of wicked persons ; you , Qeorgina Dorey , bave been a most cctivo one indeed ; you h : ive , however , made some Blight atonement for your crime by the disclosures which you have since made , and which have beeu partly instrumental in furthering the ends of public justice ; the Court therefore , after a full consideration of your cases , now sentence you to be severally imprisoned for the space of two years . With tbis case tbe labours of the sessions terminated , and the Court adjourned until Monday , the 6 th of May .
New System of Transportation—Lord John Russell , when Colonial Secretary , commenced what Lord Stanley followed up , the reform of this system ( the old one of treating transported convicts ) , for which the latter laid down a substitute , now in process of execution , of which the following in an outline . New South Wales ceases to be a penal colony ; Norfolk Island is detached frem that government ,, and attached to that of Van Diemen ' s Land . AH transported offenders whose sentences exceed fifteen years , and aggravated offenders sentenced for that period , are to be seut to Norfolk Island , in the first instance of their transportation , for a period not exceeding four or falling short of two years . Arrived there , tbe convict will be employed at bard labour ; and , while no authority but
that of the Queen ' s can abridge the period of bis remaining there , his bad conduct may indefinitely prolong it . From Norfolk Island tbe prisoner is then to be brought to Van Diemen ' s Land , and there to be placed in a probation gang , and employed at hard labour in the service of the Government , in the unsettled districts of the colony , for one or two years , liable to be extended as in the former case . At the end of the period which tbe convict is to serve in the probation gang he is eligible to receive a probation pass enabling him to enter into private service . The probation passes are of three degrees , first , second , third , and are to be granted according to the prisoner ' s deserts .
The Government Utkes upon it to determine tbe amount of wages for probationers , and in the case of tbe best class of probationers they are to receive the whole of their wages ; the next are to receive twothirds ; and the last are to receive one-half only : the remainder in the second or third caseB being to bs made payable to the Government on behalf of prisoner , and to be accumulated tor hfo benefit in a Savings'Bank , or , in case of his conviction of any crime , to be forfeited . The next stage of a convict's sentence is to be a ticket of leave—a step which no prisoner is to be capable of receiving until half his original sentence has expired . — Morning Post .

money , and many of them were in the babit of getting tipsy upon their allowance . The prisoner and Edwards quarrelled on leaving work , and the former , in the height of his anger , ran to him , and beat him on the head with a large flint stone till he fainted from pain and loss of blood . He ^ as taken to an hospital , and had only recovered sufficiently to appear then in court . The prisoner acknowledged the assault , but said he was provoked by Edwards having thrown stones at him . The bench committed the prisoner for trial

IMPORTANT .-TO THE LADIES . The great success which the " Strong Wind ? has met with in the lottery of wedlock , has induced hia companions in arms and paint ;—the Ojibbeway Indians—to advertise for English wives ; and as the Baid Indians are very shortly about to leave the country , early applications on the part of the ladies are desirable . The Indians have already at least one wife ; but they promise , even as "Strong Wind" promised , to remain constant to their new helpmates ; a promise whioh , upon their return to the back woods , they will doubtlessImost honourably perform .
