THURSDAY , Jgxe 12 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Commutes op Supi > lie<—The Irish Exiles . —On the motion for going into Committee of Supply , Mr . G . Assiet rose to move by way of amendment , a resolution condemnatory of the conduct of Sir William Denison , Lieutenant-Governor of Van Biemen ' s Land , in the matter of the revocation of thy tickets of leave lately held hy Messrs . M'AIanus , 0 Doherty , aud O'Donohue . He objected to the partial system which had lately been pursued with regar 1 to the ticket-of-leave raeii . Instead of every regulation being interpreted to afford these gentle- men every possible leniency , all these regulations had Been strained to confine them to their respective
disuicts . It was quite clear , from Sir William De&jion ' s own language used in his dispatches , thai he was an unwilling agent in enrrying out the cleuiericv of the Sovereign , and had he been allowed to fali-. > w his own wislu-s , these gentlemen would have been treated like the worst of convicts . Sir WiM-tni Deniion seemed to regret that the colonisis treated those gentlenun , not as ^ offenders against die law , but as fit objects for sympathy , because they were on that account tUo more ready to bear testimony to their jjood behaviour and help to make out tic allegation that they had not violated the terms npon which the tickets of leave were granted to these gentlemen . According to the opinion of tbc best lawyers ia the colony the
ordinances that were sought to be put in force against them had long since been abrogated , and they could travel to any and every p : \ rt of the colony without violating their parole , providing they did not attempt , to make their escape . Even the police magistrates before whom they were carried entertained tha ? ( -pinion , and it was ultimately arranged , as the law ivtikers of the Crown appeared to be at variance with that opinion , that the o&nce should be overlook-l , on condition that the alleged offenders would go and sin no more ; and yet the governor , disregarding all former custom and precedent , had thought fit to set that decision aside , and ordered these gentlemen to be degraded for three or four inonibs . Such a stretch of authority was only jus . \ k
tifia «» in extreme cases , and even then it was only tesort ^ d to where the decision of the constituted tribunals of justice were manifestly at variance with law and justice ; and then it waa usual for the governor to remove the judges as well as reverse their decisions . The governor had not dared to go that iengtb , for the magistrates who made the compromise to which he referred were two of the best and most useful and valued public officers of the coloiiy . But the reason which the Governor urged in justification of his conduct onl y made the matter worse . The Governor said he reversed the decision of the magistrates because he thought that the eplosists betrayed too much sympathy for the convicts themselves . Mr . Ocme seconded the amendment .
. Sir G . Gnsr was unable to follow the hon . and lean x-d gentleman through the whole of his statement but the facts of this case were fully set out in a d-s-atch which had recently been received from thegcjiTflor , and they were contained in a very Emal ! compass . He confessed he could see nothing in these facts that should induce the house to pass a vote of censure on Sir William Denisoc , for he had done nothing more than his duty under the circum-Btanc 2 s , while it would have been highly censurable in bin * had he abstained from doing that which the hon . and learned member complained of . It should he re-u'Tmhered that in doing what he did he was dealing with convicts who had been sent out from this country after having been found guilty of a most serious olence , no Ies 3 indeedthan hi » h
, , treason ; and it wa 3 on . that account essentially neces : a > y that strict discipline should be enforced . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . and learned gentleman seenK" ? io think that those persons were not subject to the usual regulations of ticket-of-leave men ; iufcas it really appeared that those gentlemen had acted jn direct opposition to the usu . il regulations , he-ss-ai sure the house would not think that the hon . member was justified in proposing a vote of censure on the Lieutenant-Governor for the course Which l > e had pursued in regard to them in depriving them t < f their tickets of leave . ° Mr , ilniiE thought that the hon . member had , perhaps , better withdraw his motion after the statement w the right hon . gentleman—the Secretary of State .
Col . Bdxse was of the same opinion . After n few words from Sir Lucius O'Bbiks in reference to the dismissal of Captain Laffau who had heen in charge of Mr . Smith O'Brien when he attempte-1 to escape , The motion wa 3 negatived without a division . The ^ peaeeb then left the chair , and the house tesolvc- ' : itself into committee of supply on the naval estimates . The votes for naval officers , half-pay , and retiring allowances ( £ 718 , 667 ) was followed by a discussion Upon t ! i ; government proposition for organising a retired list
, into which a certain numoer of lieutenants , commanders , and captains , who had not been Bmployt- 'J afloat during the last twenty years were to be drafted and placed upon permanent half-pay the aclivs list being thus weeded of . a large number of praii cally unavailable officers . Ultimately the TOte passed , with the understanding that the new plan for retirement wag to have a fair trial . Upon the second vote of JES 92 . G 13 for naval stores , Mr . IIumb proposed an amendment , cutting flown tho amount by one-third . On a division , the amendment was negatived by 108 votes to 36—72 . The vofs was then agreed to .
^ Some following vote 3 were passed , in the discussion of -viiich the committee was occupied for some hours . The house then resumed , and adjourned at a Quarter -.-nst one .

Broughton , charged with drunkeuness and violently assaulting Mr . Thomas Ellis , Park-road , near the Hippodrome . Captain Gordon Cumining , the renowned African sportsman , in whose service the prisoner is was in attendance during the proceedings . lie was a finelooking man , with a tremendous pair of whiskers and moustachois , and is pessesed of that " devil may care " cast of countenance which is well calculated , upon inspection thereof , to alter in no small degree the opinion formed by those with
re-J gard to the graphic description which he has recently published to the world as to his statements as a destroyer of the strongest and most ferocious of animals , in a far and distant clime . — The appearance of tho prisoner was strange , and excited much attention in a crowded court . Ilia height seemed to be iibout five feet . He had a nose perfectly flat—eyes sunken and wide apart , and a forehead remarkably low and projecting . —It , appeared from the evidence of Jlr . Ellis , that as he was walking towards Kensington Gardens , he saw the prisoner in a cab , the driver of which refused to carry him without being paid beforehand , as he was evidently very drunk . Ue ( Mr . Ellis ) stopped together with maty other persons , owing to the altercation that had arisen , when the prisoner gave him a
violent blow with a . stick . He also struck other parties with great force . He was at that period m the vehicle , the window of which he had opened . He suddenly made his exit by the door , and attempted to bite several persons , as also the nose of the cab horse , and after a most determined resistance , he was strapped down and conveyed to the station house upon a stretcher . He was then locked up , and while in the cell Inspector May was obliged to give orders for him to be handcuffed . —The prisoner , on being asked what he had to aay , replied that a gentleman had given him some ale aud beer , which took effect upon him all of a sudden . The African was fined 30 s ., which was paid by the Captain , and his servant was discharged .

P ., was in attendance at an early hour , and was introduced to a seat on the bench . —The circumstances connected with the case are at present very extraordinary and mysterious , and are briefly as follow : —The male prisoner , it appears , ia the son of a highly respectable
tradesman , carrying on business as Cirencester , Gloucestershire . Some timo ago the prisoner absconded , leaving his wife and four children chargeable to the parish , and he was not heard of until he and the female were apprehended on this charge on Sunday morning at nine o'clock , when documents were found in their possession , the nature of which leaves no doubt that they have been carrying on a system of wholesale swindling . —A bill was forwarded to No . 41 , North-street , Manchester-square , directed to Lord Villiers , and it was returned to the Post Office , where it was subsequently forwarded to his lordship ' s real residence , 33 , Charles-street , Berkeley-square , and the gross imposition being discovered by his lordship , he instantly
communicated to the London police , and Sergeant Shaw , with the assistance ot Sergeant Bowles , traced and apprehended both prisoners , under extraordinary circumstances . The sido of bacon was forwarded to " Lord Tilliers , " No . 41 , North-street , Manchester-square , by the Great Western Railway , but his lordship not residing there , it was sent back to the railway . Tho prisoners must have been on the watch in order to discover that fact , for shortly after it had been returned the male prisoner drove up to the Great Western Railway station , and delivered a letter , the following of which is a copy — "Sir , —Some goods for Lord Villiers having , been sent from Cirencester , Gloucester , and having arrived here on Saturday last , -but , in consequence of a mistake being made in the number , it being 40 , North-street , Alanchester-squave , the goods were
taken back to your office . I have sent the bearer for them , which you will have the goodness to deliver to him , and you will oblige yours respectfully , for his lordship , James Faulkner . 40 , Northstreet , Manchester-square . To the Great Western Railway Company . "—Lord Tilliers held a long consultation with Mr . Combe and Mr . Mallett , the clerk , and it was eventually decided , as numerous instances of fraud had been practised in Cirencester , Gloucestershire , that the prisoners should be conveyed thither to be examined by the magistrates of that place . —Mr . Comba asked them if they wished to say anything?—The male prisoner coolly replied , "No , nothing at present . "—Lord Tilliers then left the court , and the prisoners , in the course of the day , were put into a cabriolet for the purpose of being ultimately conveyed by train to Gloucestershire .

His business was to visit Messrs . Maudslay ' s ( the engineers ) hulks and the other ships at Poplar , and supply beer to the labourers , and notwithstanding the liberality of his master he absconded on Saturday week with , the above amount . He waB apprehended on Wednesday ia the EaBt India-road , when he coolly said ' , " Oh , its only a breach of trust ; I sold the beer , and got the money .

His assistant cautioned her not to poison herself , and she laughingly replied that she did not intend to do so , and she was not yet tired of her life . She said she had quarrelled with her parents because they would not consent to her marriage with the man of her choice , who had three children , and had recently come out of prison himself . Witness remained with prisoner until her parents returned

The constable produced a certificate from Mr . Henry Ludlow , the i house surgeon of the hospital , describing the nature of the injuries the man had sustained , and also exhibited the shirt worn by the prosecutor at the time , which was completely saturated with blood , and displayed a cut , which the officer represented as exactly corresponding in size and position with the [ woundthe man had received in the body . —Alanamed John

husband into tlio passage , where ha beat him in such an unmerciful manner as to attract the attention of the neighbours , who burst open the door and rescued him at that time from the hands of his assailant , but he had scarcely reached the street when the prisoner pursued him with the sword , and cut him down with the weapon in the manner described . —In answer to the charge the prisoner repeated the statement he had made to the the officer , and ho was ordered to be remanded until that day week , to nfford timo for ascertaining tho result of tho injuries the man had sustained , . .

seen in tho streets covered with nothing but rags , both her eyes swollen and contused , and other parts of her person presenting manifest indications of having been recently subjected to extreme personal violence . Tho excitement at length rose to such ii pitch that the attention of the police was attracted to a mob of about 200 persons collected round the house , who displayed the greatest exasperation against the prisoner , calling her a second Mrs , Sloane , and declaring that they would burst open the door and tear her to pieces . In consequonco of these violent demonstrations Sergeant Smith and Mr . Seaborne , the relieving overseer , went to the prisoner ' s house , and on entering a room on tho ground floor they found Henry Brooks .
the eldest boy , and his sister Catherine , with a younger boy five years of age , and an illegitimate child belonging to the prisoner herself , all of whom presented the most filthy and wretched apppearance , having scarcely anything upon them to cover their Bkins ; and it was elicited , upon questioning the first three children , that their father had left them under the care of the prisoner about nine months previously , when he was appointed to his situation at Dartmouth , but that he had regularly re-nitted to them from 17 s . to £ 1 per week for their maintenance . They stated , however , that the principal food the prisoner gave them was dry bread and a little tea , and
that the prisoner was in the habit of cruelly beating them , sometimes with tho wooden roller oV a blind , and sometimes with an instrument which the children called a heavy stick , but , on its being pointed out to the officer , he found it to be the bottom bar of a window frame . The little boy also stated that he had likewise another brother , about ten years old , who had been so cruelly beaten by the prisoner a few months before that he watched for an opportunity of escaping from the house , ran away and ho had not seen nor heard of him since . The appearanee of all tho children indicated that they were nearly in a state of starvation , and the youngest child was in such an emaciated condition
as to resemble a perfect skeleton . Having ascertained that the prisoner was in a room upstairs , he ( the sergeant ) proceeded there , and found her lying upon a bed in such a state of helpless intoxication that they had some trouble in getting her down to the lower part of the house , where , in consequence of the threats of the infuriated mob surrounding the place , it was necessary to remove her through an adjoining house in the custody of a person in plain clothes , or she would have been subjected to severe personal violence The sergeant added , that he had ascertained from the eldest of the children , who complained that he had not tasted animal food for a fortnight , that the woman had no excuse for her inhuman coaduct on the gronnd of poverty , as she
had within that period received a draught of £ i 10 s , from the father of her illegitimate child , an officer in the army-stationed with his regiment at Malta , in addition to the usual remittance of 17 s . per week from their father . ( The sergeant produced the window bar referred to by the children , which was a piece of wood about three feet in length , three or four inches in width , and of proportionate thickness . )—The three children ) who had been taken under the care of the parish officers , were brought into court clothed in decent apparel furnished by tho union authorities , and the youngest child , five years old , being exhibited to the magistrate , his half-starved and attenuated appearance excited a feeling of indignant commiseration in
every one present . To prove that this was not the natural condition of the little creature a certificate was handed up to the bench from the medical officer of the workhouse , stating that it was not labouring under any disease , but that the deplorable condition it presented was solely the result of the gross neglect or ill-treatment to which it had been subjected . Henry Brooks , the eldest , a boy stated to be fifteen , an intelligent but diminutive little fellow , was then examined , and stated that at the time hia father was obliged to go into the country , leaving them under the care of the prisoner , they were all provided with comfortable and sufficient clothing , but that his aunt , who was in the habit
of drinking very much , pawned the whole of their clothes in a very short time after . They were in consequence kept closely confined indoors , and his little brother , from want of clothing , had not been out of doors for at least five moaths . They were chiefly fed upon bread and weak tea , and when they did have meat it was never more than once a week . The boy added , that after enduring this treatment as long as ho could , ho availed himself of an opportunity of secretly writing to his father , to apprise him of tho prisoner ' s conduct towards them , in consequence of which he immediately wrote to tho prisoner on the subject , but since then , to use the boy ' s own expression , " sho has treated us worse and drunk more than ever .

( Laughter ) . —Tho Lord Mayor : is there any objection to give him fourteen days ? -Mr . Peacock : No ; but wo know that the interval would be occupied in posting more letters .-Tho Lord Mayor : Then the money must be paid in seven days . I cannot help foelin « for an aged man , who thus obstinately trangresses —The defendant on leaving the justice room , said that ho would try to get the money and disohavge the debt which it was pretended was duo
