MONDAY , M * J » ch 17 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Uw of PiTESTS . —Earl Jraxvhxe hoped that Lord Brougham wonld conent to postpone the introduction of the bill of rhich he had given notice for an alteration of the atent law , when he informed him that it was the nteiition of the government to bring in a bill for hat object . Tfce evidence given before the comnitsce on tho noble ani learued lord's Designs Act Ssiension Bill unanimously pointed to the necessity if a change in the law relating to patents . After Qiich consideration the government had framed a till with the view of remedying the acknowledged lefects of the lair , and , in compliance with the wish
xpressed oy noble lords on both sides of the house , hat their lordships should have some business to * cnpy their attention at an early period of the ess'on , the bill would be introduced in this , intesii of the other house . He hoped the noble and earned lord would not olijcct to postpone his measure until the goventmeut bill should be read a second time , and referred to a select committee , to rfiich the noble and learned lord ' s bill could also be referred . ( Hear , hear . ) Lord Brougham acceded tothu noble earl ' s projo * al with the greatest possible satisfaction , He ffi ? it ? d the government would take under their paironage some of his other measures for the improveneiitof thelaw .
The Passengers' Bill was read a third time and assed . Rt cisibatios of Assgeaxces Bill . —Lord Campell moved the second reading of this bill in a peech explanatory of the injustice , expense , and ^ convenience of the present system ; showed that lie system of registration and maps embodied in tie bill would not only simplify the purchase and ale of land , but bo a social advantage to all lasses of the people . The measure was " designed o provide for a regular registry of all titles to esates and real property , « ith the object of securing aid facilitating sales and transfers of such property , ind affording a better security for loans on
mortgage . Some conversation ensued , in which Lord Beat ; - moxt , Lord Brougham , and Lord Craswortii joined . The bill was then read a second time , and referred to a select committee . BOUSE OP COMMONS . —After the private bill business was disposed of , Mr . Baillie , in answer to a question from Lord John Russell , said , the noble lord had stated that the motion of which he had given notice for tho 25 th of this month was a motion of censure upon her Majesty's Ministers and that therefore he would not bring forward the financial measures of the session so long as the motion respecting Ceylon remained undetermined . That was putting him ( Sir . Baillie ) in the invidious position of seeming to obstruct the public business , and it
also put the motion itself not on its real merits , but as a question of confidence or want of confidence in the government ; and that at a time when the noble lord was aware that there was no other part ; in the country prepared to take office . ( Uear , hear . ) The question which he desired to bring forward was <> nv of long standing , and he could not help fueling some surprise at the virtuous indignation which the noble lord all of a sudden seemed to teel at it . Surely the noble lord must have been for the last three years looking forward to the discussion of such a proposition . Xotice was given by himself last session , which was delayed % the refusal of evidence , and he submitted to that delay , but he did not abandon hi 3 intention , and he now moved in
it without being in the least influenced by factious motives ; or liable to the charge that ie wished to oppose impediments to public business . He could perfectly understand the difficulties in which the noble lord , found himself placed . The noble lord , perhaps , anticipating a defeat on this question , was anxious to avoid the trouble of preparing those measures which it was his duty to bring before parliament , but tho noble lord was much mistaken if lie supposed that he ( Mr . Bailli . ' ) would allow himself to be rendered instrumental to any plan for enabling the noble lord to escape from those functions which he had assumed , and the public exigencies called on him to discharge . The course , then , which Jay before him was perfectly clear . He should
for the present remove his motion from the noticebook , reserving to himself full power to bring it forward -when he thought proper , which would be at such a time , and in such a state of the public business , as would not render him obnoxious to the charge of impeding the great financial measures of the government Ir-rd J . Russell submitted that when charges of cruelty were brought against an officer in the confidence of the government , involving the head of the colonial department , the ministry were bound to have those charges formally brought to trial . Contrasting the conduct observed by the opposition in this instance with the honourable generosity manifested on all sides during the past crisis , he complained of the unfairness of oreferrine such
setious accusations , and then shrinking from the proof , but keeping the question indefinitely in suspense over the heads of the government . Mr . Disraeli retorted the charge of unfairness unon the ministry , declaring that they had contrived to send the most authentic evidence back to Ceylon , and now the premier affected a virtuous indignation because the charge was postponed , to prove which that evidence was indispensable . Sir G . Gret remarked upon the new reason just discovered for the delay . Mr . Baillie , after deliberately fixing the date for his motion , had withdrawn it on the plea of not impeding business . It now appeared , however , that the motion was postponed because they dared not proceed with a charge which they knew themselves to be unable to establish . Mr . Roebuck agreed in thinking tbo nroceedin ?
factious , but distributed the blame between Mr . Baillie , the government , and Mr . Disraeli ; assign ing , however , the larger share to the last-named Ion . member . He knew very little of the motion , and he should not say anything as to what might he the verdict of a jury , but he would say , that the accuser was bound aa a man of honour to come forward—the country had a right to demand that he Should justify bis accusation , which involved a crime no less than murder , said to have been committed by the government of a colony while representing this country . If there were any great crimes that was one . ( Hear . ) He honoured a man for bringing a great criminal to justice , but he could not say he honoured that individual who made a grievous accusation , and who afterwards , he might say , Skulked from it .
Sir B . Hall said ditto to Mr . Roebuck—and the natter dropped . Ecclesiastical Titles Bill . —The adjourned debate on this bill was then resumed by Mr . Moobe , "who spoke against it . The other speakers in the course of the evening -were , Mr . Wigbam , Mr . Goulbubn , Mr . Calvebt , and the Soltcitob-Genbral , in favour of the bill ; Mr . Roche , Mr . Sbihour ( a maiden speech ) , Sir H . Barbok , Mr . Charteris , and Mr . Cardwell opposed it ; and at half-past twelve o ' clock , the de-Bale was adjonrned till Tuesday . TUESDAY , March 18 .
HOUSE OF LORDS , — Ceylon . — Charges agaisst Lord Torbisgton . —Lord Torrisgtok addressed the House with reference to the charges which had been brought against him as Governor Of Ceylon . So long as a motion on the subject had teen pending in the Lower House he had thought it right to be silent , but when that motion had been withdrawn , on what seemed to him insufficient grounds , he felt it his duty to move for papers relating to his administration of the government in Ceylon . As soon as these papers were produced he Should be ready to make a plain unvarnised statement to the boose , and he had no doubt that he should be able to prove that he had done his duty to ids Sovereign and the country . . Some other business was then despatched , and their lordships adjonrned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In reply to Mr . DlSHAELI , The Chaxcellob of the Exche <* ueb , referring to a 8 tai . em . ent he had made on the previous night , declined to fix an ; da ; for the financial expose , because it was still uncertain how long the pending debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill wonld last , and it was necessary to devote the first open night afterwards to the army estimates in order that the Mutiny Act might be renewed before it expired . The Poiick — Mr . F . O'ConsoR asked if the right hon . the Home Secretary had made inquiry concerning the case of a young man who had been locked up with othera on a Saturday night until Monday morning ? Sir 0 . Gret had received a report from the police Commissioners , and found that on the occasion alluded toby the hon . member , two persons had been apprehended on Saturday evening , charged with picjnng
pockets in Hyde-park .

Tithe Rekt Charge in Ireland . —Mr . Sadleir proposed a resolution declaring the expediency of assimilating the tithe rent charge system in Ireland , with the self-acting system , based upon the corn averages , established in England and Wales . ' : . Sir G . Gret recommended the house not to give a hasty pieige in reference to this complicated subject , respecting which no definite measure had been presented . If he were asked to bring in a bill , he should offer no objection to that step , and they might then discuss the proposition with better advantage . Mr . Hamilton objected to any rash interference w th the arrangements concluded under existing acts . He advised Mr . S : iuleir to accept the proposal of the Home Secretary . Mr . Fkesch and Mr . g . Crawford joined in that recommendation . After a fen- words from Mr . Grattan ,
Mr . Sadleir yielded to the suggestion and withdrew his resolution , which was negatived by consent . Ixfast Rajah op Sattara . —Mr . Anstet then called the attention of the house to the alleged obstruction offered to the infant Rajah of Sattara in the denial of a hearing before the Privy Council , aud moved a resolution that the matters alleged in the petition presented by the next friend of the Rajah deserved the serious consideration of the house . The motion , not being seconded , fell to the ground . Ecclesiastical Tiiles Bill . —The adjourned debate upon the motion lor the second reading of this bill was renewed by Mr . Blewiii , who opposed tlie bill as a most impolitic measure . The discussion was continued by Sir . R . Lopes , Mr . Walter , Mr . Axsiet , Lord Ashlbt , Mr , S , Herbert , and Lord Paimerston .
On the motion of Mr . H . Berkeley , the debate was again adjourned until Thursday . The house adjourned at half-past twelve o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , March 19 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met at twelve o ' clock !
Hop Ddit Bill . —Mr . Frewen moved the second reading of this bill , which was designed to equalise the differential duties now charged upon the various qualities of hops , as well as to establish a lower tariff of impost . The hon . member Supported his motion by referring to the origin of the duty , which was avowedly a war tax , and to its injurious operation in circumscribing the cultivation of the plant . All excise duties were bad , but this he considered the worst . ¦ Mr . Deedes agreed in thinking the duty highly objectionable , but could not consent to the equalising process contained in the bill , by which , the amount would be made irrespective of quality , and the purchasers lose one of the safeguards against imposition . He moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months . Mr . H . Drcmmosd and Mr . Bass supported the amendment .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that the total remission of the tax was fairly open to discussion , but decidedly objected to the bill in its present shape . .-., ' .-After some remarks from Mr . Plumpire and Mr . Corteis , and a reply from Mr . Frewen , the house divided—For the second reading 9 Against 131—122 Sosdat Tradisc Prevention- Bill . —The second reading of this bill was moved by Mr . Williams , who contended that it was necessary to protect the tradesmen who wished to keep the Sabbath strictly , from the rivalry of their less scrupulous neighbours . He submitted that the principle was concecded on all sides , and offered to have the details referred to a select committee , when all the provisions could be thoroughly considered . . . .
M . B . Wall believed the bill to be tyrannical and unnecessary . It made unfair distinctions—traders in London were prohibited from doing what country dealers were permitted to do without restraint ; and stamped newspapers might be sold at hours when the sale of an unstamped and cheap periodic . il would be visited with heavy penalties , lie moved the usual formal negative to the second reading . . Mr . Leknard seconded the amendment , being desirous of leaving the poor man at full liberty to enjoy or improve himself during his only day of leisure . Sir B . Hall having remonstrated against the summary condemnation of a measure which contained a germ of good , Mr . Wall withdrew his amendment ; and the bill was read a second time , and ordered to be referred to a committee up stairs .
The Expenses of Prosecutions Bill , the Apprentices and Servants Bill , and the Appointment of a Vice-Chancellor Bill , respectively passed through committee . On the motion of Mr . Agliokbt . leave was given to bring in a bill for the Enfranchisement of Copyhold ? . The house then adjourned .
THURSDAY March 20 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The house sat for an hour , during which time some petitions were laid on the table , and routine business transacted . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —National Land Com pant . —Sir G . B . Pecuell presented a petition from Brighton and Lewes from seventy-three members of the National Land Company resident at Brighton , stating their confidence in Mr . F . O'Connor , the promoter of the latin plan , and praying that the bill before the houEe for winding up the Company may be allowed to pass , and that justice may be done to all parties . Mr . F . O'Coxsor presented a similar petition from Palkirk . The Charter . —Mr . F . O'Connoh presented a petition from Glasgow , praying that the Charter may be adopted by the house .
Mr . Williams moved that the Select Committee on the Sunday Trading Prevention Bill consist of tho following members : —Mr . W . Williams , Mr . B . Wall , Mr . Anstey , Sir D . L . Evans , Sir W . Clay , Sir B . Hall , Mr . Alderman Humphrey , Mr . Masterman , Mr . Wakley , Lord R . Grosvenor , Mr . Alcock , Lord H . Lennox , Mr . Bankes , Mr . Kershaw , and Sir D . Dundas . Papal Aggression . —Mr Newdeoate resumed the adjourned debate on this hill , and contended that , from the nature of his office . Cardinal "Wiseman came to this country armed with powers to interfere in its civil , political , and economical affaire . The hon . member referred td'L ' ancient precedents to show that it was contrary tfclaw'for a Cardinal to
reside in England without the , permission of the Crown . Ho thought the bill inefficient for the important objects for which they were called to legislate . Mr . Kkox contended that the bill was not warranted by facts , and . that it was brought in to Buothe the wounded vanitj ^ f the Established Church . Mr . H . D&ummom > supported the bill in a speech which excited considerable opposition on the part of its opponents . He said tho real question was , whether the Roman Catholics were to be a tolerated sect under the spiritual dominion of the Queen , or tho Queen was to be a licensed heretic under the spiritual dominion of the Pope .. We were bound to protect the civil-liberties of the / Roman
Catboltcs themselves ,, ana-. especially of the poor girls , who were imprisoned , whipped , and starved until they died , that priests might seize their money . ( Ob , oh . ) Honourable members might cry " Oh , oh , " but he told them their nunneries were either prisons or brothels , and thejr might take their choice . [ This produced an appeal to the Speaker , who decided that the language was not inconsistent with the freedom of debate . ] The honourable member then proceeded to attack strongly the doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church , amidst much interruption , opposition , and excitement , by expressing his determined opposition to the new hierarchy .
Sir Jaues Graham had two objections to the bill , first , that it was an extension of a penal law , and , secondly , that it was a reversal of a policy pursued for two and twenty years . He added that it would strike a blow more severe than the fetters of the old penal code against the Roman Catholics . The right bon . gentleman-then argued , that if this act of the Pope , in creating a hierarchy in England , was an invasion of the rights of the Crown—of the sovereignty , and of the legality of these realms ; then the act of Richard the Second would meet the
case , for that was as much in force now as when it passed . Under it Cardinal Wolsey was brought before the Star Chamber , and afterwards , in the reign af James the First , Lalor , the Pope ' s legate in Ireland , was brought before a jury . They therefore wanted no new law to meet such a case as this . The right hon . baronet concluded by stating that he considered the measure dangerous to the peace of Ireland , an inroad upon the civil and religious rights of the people , and he confessed that he bad more faith to place in the House of Commons than to believe that they would pass it into a law .
Lord John Russell defended the bill in its present form , and the general principle which was contained in the measure . He maintained that the aggressive acts of the Church of Rome , especially since the commencement of the democratic revolution , in 1848 , imperatively called for an active measure of resistance , and he believed that if the second reading of the bill were rejected without a clear and definite substitute , the friends of liberty throughout Europe would conclude , that the Court Of Rome had obtained another conquest , in a splendid triumph over the mind of the House of Commons of England . The noble lord , after justifying the mildness of his measure , on the ground of his regard for civil and religious liberty , conceived that the time might come when , if the Roman Catholic Bishops in Ireland interfered with the proper working of the new Colleges in : that country , another and more stringent measure might be

( JFVow our Second Edition of last week J FRIDAY , March 14 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-During the brief sitting of tho house nothing but routine busineW was transacted . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Lord John Russell stated , in answer to a question from Mr . Plumptre that in consequence of the motion given notice of by Mr . H . Bailie , in reference to the Ceylon Councils being considered as a vote of censure he should postpone the financial statement until Monday week , in order to allow that motion to be previously disposed of . . -
On the order of the day for the second reading of the Assumption of Ecclesiastical Titles Bill The Earl of Arusdbl and Surrey moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months . Mr . Reynolds seconded the amendment . Sir B . Hall supported the measure . Sir R . Ikolis blamed the ministers for not acting sooner . Her Majesty ' s government ought to have issued a proclamation , asserting before Europe , the sovereignty of England —that an explanation should be demanded , and if a satisfactory answer were not given , their fleet in the Mediterranean should blockade Ancona or Civita Yeeeliia .
Sir R . Pbbl said , that he regretted to deviate from the present leader of a party with which it was his feeling to be allied ; yet , as he considered Lord John Russell was actively and independently supporting both his principles of reli gious toleration , and also of firmness against the aggression of any foreign power , he felt it his duty to support the second reading of the bill . Mr . M'Colloh would give the measure every opposition . . Mr . Page Wood defended the bill . On the motion of Mr . Moore , the debate was adjourned to Monday next . Tho house adjourned at one o ' clock .

—^—¦ — - , . FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT PAISLEY . On Saturday morning last an explosion took place in the Victoria Colliery , at Nithshill , belonging to the Messrs . Coats , of Paisley . From fifty to sixty men and boys were down at the time , and it is believed all have perished . The gearing of the pit was smashed to pieces by the explosion , and lies in a state of wreck at the bottom , preventing access to the pit . The scene at the mouth of the pit , where the female relatives of the missing men are gathered , is heartrending .
The Victoria Pit is the property of Messrs , Coats , of Paisley , and is the deepest in Scotland , being 1 , 050 feet in depth at the downcast shaft , which is situated about the centre of the southern ! edge of the workings , from whence the inclination of the strata tends upward to the north , at an angle of about one foot in five ; so that at the upcast shaft or pit , which is about a quarter of a mile distant from the working pit , the workings are only 780 feet below the surface . The plans of the workings represent an oblong square , occupying about fifty acres ; the portions of the coal seam worked representing a series of passages of about eighteen feet : wide , crossing each other at right angles , and leaving what are called pillars , or rectangular cubes of coal of
eighteen yards by eleven . The whole workings thus present the appearance of a tartan cheque . The only portion now being worked is the northern face , along which , a series of galleries or cuts are being made , which will be precisely similar to those portions already worked out . The air is carried along the face of these workings by means of projeoting brattices or partitions , which cause the air to take a tortuous course . All those portions of the works which are exhausted are closed in by means of brick walls , so that a very small portion of air can pass through them , the main current being led round the extreme circumference of the entire field , until it reaches the workings on the northern face . No artificial means of producing ventilation
by a current of air is adopted in the pit . The aitfinds its way down the downcast or working shaft , and after traversing around and through the workings , for , perhaps , miles , finds its way to the upcast shaft , which it ascends ^ owing to the beat it may have acquired whilst wriggling along amongst the workmen . The procurator fiscal , from Paisley , was early at the pit , making a "recognition of the circumstances ; but until the inworkings are explored , nothing can be learned , and nothing probably then . On Sunday it was definitively ascertained that the number of people in the pit when the explosion took place amounted to sixty-three , viz ., fifty-five men and eight lads . Of these sixty-one were killed . Had the event oscurred some half-hour
later , the consequence must have been much more calamitous . Of those lost the majority were married , and they havo left . among them sixty-five children . Towards the afternoon of Sunday the men who came up from time to time stated that they were convinced they had . heard the sound of voices from the bottom , although so inarticulately that they could not make out what they said . Several additional descents were made , and about nine o ' clock it was announced that t he workmen were in communication with the two men , whom they had a prospect of saving . Previous to this refreshments had been sent down and acknowledged . About ten o ' clock a supply of blankets was sent down , as it was announced' that the poor fellows
were almost in a state of nudity . After a lengthened period of anxiety and suspense , one of the poor sufferers , named John Cochrane , was brought to the surface . He was supported by two men into an adjoining shed and immediately attended by a medical gentleman . Oocbrane was in such a weak state that he could not gire any , detailed account of the actual occurrence of the calamity further than that two men who were working with him at the time were instantaneously struck down by the fire . During his long imprisonment of nearly forty-five hows , he says that he repeatedly groped about for some of his neighbours , and often called on them , but , with one exception , no one answered . ' . «
During Monday the operations continued , and another man , David Colvin , was discovered alive , and two dead bodies brought up . From the statements of Coohrane and Colvin , it appears they and two other companions had been working in a part of the pit-where the effects of the explosion were little felt , but in trying to escape to the bottom of the shaft they were overtaken by the choke-damp , and the other two were overpowered . The pit was so far explored that the bodies of these two were recovered , but the state of the air would not permit them to carry their exploration further . Indeed , several days / if not weeks , may elapse before all the bodies are recovered ; for the present workings lie at a distance of nearly one-third of a mile from the
down-rush shaft , and from the smoke whioh continues to issue fr . m the up-rush shaft , it is believed that the pit is on fire on that side . The following is the list of the parties who were in the pit on the fatal morning , out of whom only the two mentioned above survive : —Barney Martin , Patrick O'Neill , Thomas Connelly , Thomas Scott , William Scott , Michael Smith , Andrew Carson , Felix O'Neill , Michael Irvine—his father was lost at the former explosion which took place in this pit —Nell Buchanan , Neil Buchanan , Thomas Samson , Matthew Bpeirs , James Buchanan , James Lachlan , Thomas Hughes , Frank Hughes , Henry Gibbs , John Mulhollen , Robert Black , Patrick Keenan . Neil
uatun , James Baxter , Richard Smith , John M'Mahon , John Williamson , James Poole , C . Kerr , Charles Shiells , James Shiells , Patrick CroBBan , Dennis Crossan , Robert Whiteside , and his son George , a boy , William M'Millan , Peter Hammond , and his two sons , Peter White , and his son , a boy , Andrew Gebbie , and his two sons , boys , James Kerr , and his grandson , a boy , Darid Colvin , James Dodds , John Connelly , John Bell , Joseph M'lllwain , with his two nephews , Samuel and Jos . M'lllwaiii , Joseph Baxter , John M'Millan , John Smith , John Cochran , Felix Connelly , Joseph Bri ghton , John Shiells , John Maxwell , Samuel Dowell , John Campbell , in all , sixty-three .
Among the individual oases of distress is that of a woman who has no fewer than four sons , as well as her husband , in the pit . Her agony may be imagined , not described . The shock of the blast was felt by the colliers connected with the pits of Mr . Wilson , and they were eo much alarmed , that they refused to go down to their workings . The Glasgow Daily Hail says : — " The intelligence up to eight o ' clock on Monday night does not add anything of material consequence to what has been already stated . Owing to the insecure condition of the shaft there is an unwillingness on the part of the men employed to proceed much further
till the necessary repairs have been made . We have heard it stated by some experienced , miners that the pit being on fire , any attempt to alter the present course of the air draught , which is now traversing the most direct course between the Victoria shaft and the Free-trade or ventilating shaft , would have the effect of driving the large quantity of fire damp collected in the various ramifications of the workings upon that part of the pit which is at present burning , and produce another and more tremendous explosion . It is quite certain that it will be a work of both time and danger to recover the bodies , and no reasonable hope can now be entertained of finding the unhappy men alive . "

With regard to the agreement , it was certainly a most extraordinary document , and from the whole tenor of it he could not but believe that the poor woman must have been ignorant of its contents at the time
she signed it , otherwise she never would have agreed to give all the power and control over her into her master ' s hands ,. without retaining any protection for herself . —A gentleman , who brought the letter ,. took a message from the Aid rman , and in about ten minutes returned , and stated that Mr . Walton wag perfectly agreeable to return the boxes , and to act . as thealderinan should direct . —Aldeiv man Finnis said then he would direct that the boxes should , be . deliyered np , and order 2 s . to . be paid for the complainant ' s loss of time , and 2 s . costs . He would also require that the defendant should give tlie complairiaut the aame character he roceived with her , —The gentleman who appeared , for defendant said , he was quite willing , on the part of Mr . Walton , to accede to that arrangement . — The costs were then paid , and the parties left the
court . WORSHIP STREET .-Robbert with the aid ov Chloroform . —Mary Anne Mayne was placed at the bar before Mr . Arnold , charged with having , in conjunction with another woman not in cutody , administereda quantity of Chloroform , or other deleterious drug , to . Mr . John Ewecson , and robbed him of monies to the value of £ 10 19 s . 6 d . —The prosecutor , a tall powerful person ^ statedi : I reside at Almouth , in .. Northumberland , and am master of a trading vessel between Hull ami the Thames . My . vessel arrived in the St . Katharine ' s docks on Thursday afternoon , and between 7 and 8 o ' clock in the evening I went to-Tower-hill to meet a friend who is captain of another ship upon business ... We
had only gone a short distance , when we were accosted by the prisoner , but we did not notice wh ; it she said ,, and went on , and after the close of- our conversation we separated , and I returned in the direction of the dock to rejoin miy . ship . Oh going back a short way , however , I was again stopped by the prisoner , who pressed me to go home with her and kept walking by my side ; but I refused , and the instant I lad done so she gave me a dab on the mouth' with something like a handkerchief she had in her hand , and from that moment I had not the slightest recollection of anything that took place until I was woke up about four o ' clock on the followingmorning by a powerful black man , and found myself in a miserable room , lying upon a bed , and with all my clothes on . The black man peremptorily ordered me outof the house , and I was so confused that I mechanically obeyed him ; but after
walking down the Btreet in the air a short way I thought of my money ; and on thrusting my hand into my pocket I found that the purse and money were both gone . -I shortly after met a policeman , whom I told that I had been robbed , and having described the circumstances and the house I had been turned out of , he at once took me back to it . and on -entering' the same room we found the same woman who had given me a dah on the mouth , and from beside her tho officer picked up my handkerchief / - The conBtabje then gave the prisoner over to another officer , and searched the place , though without finding any ' of my money . —When called upon for her defence , the prisoner said I never saw that man before I got home last ni ght , and then found him standing at my . door with another woman . I am not the woman who robbed him , and he must have been taken into my room by the other woman The prisoner was fully committed for trial .
THAMES . —Shipping Offices . —Claim por Skamem ' s Wages . —Mr . Thomas Jenkins , tlie master of the collier ship Cumberland , was summoned before Mr . Yardley , at the instance of five seamen , named William Gilroy , David Holdon William Richardson , John Wood , and John Kins , who each claimed £ 8 5 s . for services on a " run " as it is technically termed , from Shields to London . —The case gave rise to a very long discussion , and many curious points of maritime law were mixed up with it , but the main question for the magistrate to decide was as to the construction of the articles of agreement , which expressed that the voyage was to be " from Shields to London , and the seamen to be discharged from the said ship as soon as moored to the
master's satisfaction , m a proper berth for the delivery of the cargo . " T he vessel in the first inst nice was moored in No . 7 section in the Northfleet Hope , near Gravesend , to which place it was assigned by the harbour master , and it was contended by Mr . Smith the' men were entitled to their wages , £ 3 each , for the run on the second coal market-day after the arrival of the ship , in compliance with an understanding with the master when they signed the agreement , but which was not expressed in it . On the other hand it was contended by Mr Pelham , that the voyage did not terminate until the ship arrived in the Pool , and was moored in
a berth for delivery . Northlleet Hope was not the place of delivery , though it was in the Port of London , but . merely a place assigned by the harbour master , and where the ship had to'remain until the caigo was sold . That wa 3 effected on the third market day , and on the aftert fbon of the same day Mr . Jenkins obtained an order from the harbour-master , at Greenwich , for the ship to come into the pool to discharge . ' The crew , who were the present complainants , had then quitted the ship , and the master was under the necessity of employing five other men to bring the ship up the river , at an expense of £ 3 if 6 d ' Which , ho now sought to deduct from the wages of

the five claimants . ,. Mr . Pelham admitted that after , the agreement was entered into the master gave the men a written paper , in which tie ^ nutated to give them' 5 s . each , in addition to the £ 3 each they had signed for , if the cargo of coals was not sold on the Becond market-day . This was done in consequence of the strike in the north , and the discontent among the Beamen with the provisions of the new Mercantile Marine Act . It wai further contended by Mr . Pelham , that the seamen were not entitled to the extra gratuity of 5 s . each , because they had not staid by the ship after the second market day , and that they were liable to the expenses incurred by the master in employing substitutes to bring the ship up the river . Mr .
Tardley said it was the misfortune of seamen in the home trade that they were not compelled to go to the new shipping offices against which the seamen in the north baa been struggling , for wh-tt reason he could not tell . It would tend materially to promote the welfare of seamen in the coasting trade , if the articles of agreement were made out by the shipping masters . Tho agreement in this case was vaaue , and if it had been made out by a shipping master , this dispute most probably would not havo happened . There had been no end of disputes with home trade articles , which would not have
happened if the agreement had been mimed : it the new shipping offices , which were established for the benefit of seamen , and to prevent them being wronged , and yet they were raising an outcry against them . There was nothing whatever in the agreement about two market-days , and if the vessel had been detained in Northfleet Hope till the 12 th market day , the seamen would only have been entitled to £ 3 each . Gilroy ( a seaman ) : As she was safsly moored , your worship , we | were entitled to £ 3 each . —Mr . Yardley : She was not safely moored for the London market for the delivery of her cargo . —Mr , Pelham said the master could not
obtain an order from the harbour-master to enter the pool till the cargo was sold , and that cargoes of colliers were never delivered in Northfleot nope . — Mr . Smith : Suppose the cargo could not be soid till the 11 th or 12 th market-day , were the seamen not to be entitled to any wages beyond the £ 3 for a detention of six weeks . —Mr . Yardley said another question might be asked , was the captain , to go up to London and sell his conla the first marketday at what price the crew pleased ? After a long discussion the magistrate said ho should allow the seamen £ 3 Ss . each , but they must pay the expenses incurred by the master in the hire of men to bring the ship up from Northfleet to the pool . He made an order for the seamen to receive £ 2 12 s . 8 d . each , but without costs .
Robbery . —Isaac Cannell , an ex-policeman of the K division , No . 154 , aud Michael Coghlan , a bricklayer ' s labourer , residing at Queen Anne-streetj Whitechapel , were charged with the following daring highway robbery , —Joseph William Beckett , a retired greengrocer , residing at 71 , Ratcliffehighway , said that as he was coining homo on the night of the 7 th instant , on reaching a secluded place called Williams ' s-rents , the prisoners rushed on him , and Cannell jumped on his back , seizing his hands from behind and forcing them up under his jaws pressed them against his throat until strangulation was nearly produced . Ho was
soon rendered insensible , and , on recovering , found himself lying in the gutter , and bleeding profusely from the eyes , nose , and mouth , and he found that £ 68 in gold had been abstracted from the left-hand pocket of his trousers , and six or 3 even shillings in silver from the other . In addition to other injuries , he had a severe cut behind tho car , and he was so severely maltreated that he was confined to his bed until the following Monday ; His face at that time was very bbick and much swollen , and even yesterday he exhibited marka of brutal violence— . The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for trial . ¦ •¦' -. ¦

Assault . —William Thompson , a fellow who has been long about the streets in the dress of a sailor , and alternately in the characters of beggar and robber , and a woman named Jane Thompson , who has been frequently seen with him in his rambles at night' lying in wait for drunken passengers , were brought up charged with having begged , and insulted those who refused alms , and also with having assaulted the officers of the police . The
woman , it was stated , followed some . gentlemen , and urged them in the most urgent manner to give her aid ; and when a refusal was given to her entreaty , her companion , a" powerful fellow , joined in the application , and added threats and abuse to her arguments . The . male prisoner kicked and struck the officers most violently , and was with difficulty dragged to tho station-house . Tho woman showed that she had taken lessons from the fellow , and swore that neither of thorn should le looked up . —Scott , 'the Mansion-house officer , said he had known William Thompson as o ? e of the most desperate vagabonds about the city fov a considerable time , and he had known Jane Thompson , who was not more than twenty-two or
twentythree years of age , although she appeared to he upwards of forty , to be a beggar from her childhood , lie also stated that the female was constantly in tlie habit at night of following persons under the influence of liquor , and with the assistance of her ruffianly comrade , plundering them of all they had in theirpockets . —The Lord Mayor said he would take care that there should be a check for some time to the success of the various occupations of the prisoners , and committed them both to prison . LAMBETH . . — Ill-using a Wife . — Patrick Toomey , a . labourer , was charged with ill-using his Wife , turning her out ol doors , and discharging a gun at her while In the street . —The complainant said that her husband was in the habit of beating her with
great barbarity for some time past , and on tho night before he struck her and turned her into the street . He also threatened to shoot her , and . while sho was . in the street , he discharged a gun at her . She could not say how if was charged , but she was sure that her husband had plenty of powder and shotin the house . She could not say that the prisoner presented the gun at her , but his general conduct was such . that she went in fear of her life . —The prisoner , in replv to the charge , said his wife was of so jealous a disposition that she never gave him a moment ' s peace of mind . —Mr . Elliott convicted him in a penalty of forty shillings for the assault , or twenty days' imprisonment , aud also ordered him to find bail for his good behaviour for one month .
8 OUTHWAIIK .-SIBALING a Pewter Pot .-E . Gander , keeper of a beer-shop in Long-Iano Bermondsey , was charged with stealing a pewter-not the . property of Mr . R . Curtis , of tho Coach and Horses , in the same neighbourhood . —The pot in " question had been found outside the door of one of prisoner ' s customers ; the traces of prosecutor ' s name were still discernible , although . an erasure lad been attempted , and the name of the p risoner lad been engraved in its stead . On being apprehended , the prisoner , undor pretence of going ud stairs to letch something down , escaped out of the dace , but was pursued and taken into custody —On i i" ? . w ^ v Jf . i . ? P lanation > the P ^ oner said that he had been drinkins freelv one ovflnino
with apewterer m his own-house , when one of Mr Urtis s pots was brought into the room . Thepewterer , on looking at it and seeing Mr . Curtis ' s name engraved on it , said , "Don't send it back ; keep it yourself , and I'll erase his name and stamp on yours m place of it . " He being intoxicated at the time , unfortunately listened to the advice ,. and that was the way in which he was led into the offence . —Mr . A'Beckett said that the prisoner ' s conduct was most culpable on the occasion . Instead , however , of sending the case before a jury , he should deal summarily with it , arid inflict the full penalty the law allowed him on the prisoner for unlawfully possessing the pint pot , namel y , £ 5 , and in default of payment commit him for six months to gaol .

Tub New Census : — A few more papers h . WQ been issued from the Home Office in respec t to ' thn new census . They provide for a set of returns showing tho statistics of education and religious worship in the country , in the various aspects in which they suggest themselves to tho mind of an inquirer . These additions to the census are of extreme importance in the present state of the edn cation question . The number of persons who can not read and write is only known inferentinlly from the signatures of the marriage register ; and the amount of school accommodation how existing
with the . rate of attendance / the . supply of qualified teachers , the number of mebcanics' institutes' in the country , the number of their members , and the books in their various libraries—indeed , the whole question of how education stands at present in relation to the amount of population and the means of carrying it on in future—is involved in great uncertainty . The fresh queries issued from the central office are expected to supply theso deficiencies ; and though the whole set of returns are not , it is said to be published , Government , at least , will be minutely informed , and the generaloutlinos and summaries will be i- ¦ ' ' on < - ,, f the public .
