( Heir , h « u \ j Agreeing With the ultimate o' -j-ct of the motion , but believing that to adopt this address would lead to erroneous views of the feelings of the house , he
proposed to move the previous question . ( Hear . ) Mr . S . Ukri-. ebt > egrrtttd tne determination of Sir < i . Grey . Hi- dffciiutd the recouttnentla'iDn of the Commissioner * w sell the Chancellor ' s living , vrhich were not Ciown p'Uronage . He should be glad , lie said , to sec the .-e livings sold , and the patronago dispen-ed t ! irou « hnut the country . He supported the motion on tii-j ground that there was a gr « sit and lamentable deficiency of religious ingtruction in England , and because he thought the measure it proposed sufficiently specific as a remedy for the evil . ( Hear . ) Sir it . I . volm rt-plied it Sir B . flail , whom he accused of intrO'lucinsj a topic extraneous to the discussion , and castwsr olWoquy upon individuals .

( Hear . )
Af ?« .-r a : " e > v observation by Mr . Alcock , upon the subject of Chancellor ' s livin ; . ' * , Mr . Gnt'LBGRN recouimoii'ied that the motion should not be pressed to a ¦ Jivision . lie complained of the stitementrf of Sir B . Uall , who , he said , had g one tt : ick to c--ises of abuse under an int ' .-cedent stale of the law , which hud since been reformed—a proceeding calculated to excite angry and unjust feelings towards the Church of which he was a me < : ibfi \ ( Hear . ) Mr . Goulburn , at so . nc lt'iigth , defended the pruiaios who had been the subjects of Sir Bui . jamiii ' s strietares . Mr . HoRSiux said , it could not be denied , that Tfith the mo « t richly endowed Church in the world , posses > ing a revenue of nearly £ 5 . 000 , 00 ' ) a year , we had a spiritual destitution most deplorable . ( Hear , hear . ) As there were sufficient resources in the Church to remedy this evil , why waa it not remedied ? Sir B . Hall had stated the rpason—the maladministration and bud distribution of the
Church funds . ( Hear , hear . ) That all Church abuses were not bygone iratisaetiom he would show , he said , by the c- 'sc of ifee Ilorfield estate , in the diocese of Gloucester ; and , after giving the details , he asked whether .-uch a transaction as the renewal of that lease , would be permitted in any publiiJ di'parjiuent ? The time , he added , vrp . s appro . iching when wo must have a reformed episcopate , or none at all—a reformed Church Establishment , or uo E * uilitishiucat at all . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . WlGRAM protested ag . in < -t the ifjuatice of bringing these charges against hiuiriduals without notice , and which tended to draw the house into a collateral discussion . ( Hear , hpar . ) If Lord Blandford did not think his object was sufficiently answered by the opinions elicited by his motion he fchould vote with him . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Booker urged the hou * e to suspend its opinion respecting the liishop « f Gloucester , whose character afforded a strong presumption against the charge preferred by Mr . llorsman . Mr . Hgme having withdrawn his amendment .
8 tr G . Gkst said , upon the distinct uuierstanding that , the morion did not p ? ed < : o the house to favour too scheme of selling the Chancellor's livings —that it merely expressed an opinion that it was desirable to adopt all practicable means to remedy spiritual uestitution , ha should , not press the prefious question . The original motion was therefore agreed to . Sir De La . ci Evass moved for leave to bring in a bill to reduce the duty on carriages , of which he proposed to make three classes , subject to duties of £ 1 , . € 2 , and £ 1 respectively . The ChascelloB of the ExcnxQ-jER did not deny thn some modification of this duty was desirable : but be could not make a further sacrifice of revenue this year . The motion was withdrawn .
Mr . Hcme moved an address praying her Majesty to direct that the prostrate granite obelisk at Alexandria , presented by the I < te Meheinit AH to the British nation , be brought to England . The Chancellor of the Exchequer objected , and read an opinion of Sir 6 . Wilkinson , that it was unworthy the expense of removal . After a short discussion this motion was withdrawn . The other business having been disposed of , the house adjourned at half-pait twelve o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , Jdlt 2 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Ecclesiastical Rbsi-Dekces ( Ireland ) Bill . —On moving the second reading oi this bill .
Mr . Nafier explained the state of the existing law upon this subject and that of church , endowment , its defects , and the particulars in which be proposed to remedy them by this bill and another , "which also stood fora second reading this day—the Churches and Chapels ( Ireland ) Bill . Both bills were read a second time , as well as the United Church of England and Ireland Bill . PnAHMACT Bill . —Mr . J . Bbu moved the second reading of this bill , the object of which he stated to be the improvement of the qualifications of chemists , by establishing the principle that all who
prepared medicine * and compounded prescriptions ought to be educated persons and pass an examination . This provi % ion wa 3 the more necessary since chemists and druggists were gradually occupyingthe place vacatedbytheapothecaries , who were becoming general practitioners , and the pharmaceutical chemists in this country were far behind the phatmacentical bodies abroad . Voluntary action waa in-Sufficient for the purpose ; he cited the opinion of Sir A . Cooper , that an examination , to be effectual , must be enforced , and the bill avoided the error of the Apothecaries Bill , of imparting to the examination a medical as well as a pharmaceutical
character . Mr . Hcvs , without undervaluing the advantage Of examinations , opposed this bill , which would introduce another element of embarrassment into the general question . It waa an attempt to establish a fourth medical body , a Pharmaceutical Company , and to invest that voluntary body with the power of authorising ohemiBts to practice as apothecaries . Mr . Bersal supported the bill , which , he said , bad not met with the slightest opposition out of doors . The ignorance which prevailed in certain localities amongst persons who called themselves chemists—some of whom could not distinguish between oxalic acid and Epsom salts—placed life often in jeopardy . Mr . Heslkt pointed out variong practical difficulties which would be created by this bill .
Sir G . Gbet observed that this was a subject of a Tery complicated nature , which should be considered in connexion with that of general medical regulations . He concurred in Mr . Hume's objection to the creation of a monopoly in a voluntary body , and with Mr . Henley ' s as to the difficulties in the way of devising accurate definitions . If Mr . Bell , however , would consent to the bill being here-After committed pro forma , and not ask the house to proceed further with it this session , he should not oppose the second reading . Mr . Cardwell recommended Mr . Bell to accept this proposal , and that gentleman consenting , the bill , with-this undemanding , w » s read a second time . The Public Hoases ( Scotland ) Bill was abandoned by Mr Mackenzie , after a discussion of the principle of the measure , with reference to its re-introduct " 1 on next sess i on .
The Burjesses and Freemen ' s Parliamentary Franchise-Bill p-. ised through committee . The house then went into committee upon the County Courts' Further Extension ( Compensations ) , when a resolution was agreed to ; and afterwarJs resolved itself asain into committee upon the Me ! ic « l ^ Charities ( Ireland ) Bill , the details o » which occupied the remainder of the sitting .

he meant Mr . Robert Owen . That gentleman held peculiar opinions , but he was a great public benofictor , for he was the founder of infant schools . His petition was for facilities for brineing forward his scheme for the improvement of society , and lie thought tuatllie petitioner should be » tfvirde ?*' opportunity of appearing boforo a select couiinittet of their lordship !

ac-C lSrqms of LansbowKE thought it would be impossible that a select committee , " PP '"^ ' »* this late period of tho session , could enter satistictoriiy upon so large a subject . An animated conversation took pl-icc between Lord BnououAU and the Lord Chancellor , with re-pect to the law reforms which had been under the consideration of Parliament , the Lord Chancellor imputing rashness to Loi-d Brougham , and the latter noblo lord imputing to the former that he was almost an obstacle to measures of law reform . On the motion of Earl Giuxville , the Patent Law Amendment Bill was read a third time and p issed . Some other business was then despatched , and their Iord > hips adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Oath op Abjuration ( Jews ) Bill . —Lord John Uvsselii moved me third reading of this bill ,
Sir It . Inglis said ever since the first time when a bill on this unhappy subject was introduced , he had al " ' : iys regarded it as one of tlie most unfortunate nscisures which had been brought before Parliament . He looked upon it with tlie greatest abhorrenca , and the strongest repugnance , and he bt'lieved it was both uncalled for aud un-Jesired by tile great mass of the people . On the present occasion , "however , ho should not call upon tho house to divine , " but would content himself with expre&injr once more his solemn objection to a measure which would have the effect of destroying the Christian character of the house . ( llear ) .
Lord . J . Rossell thought ic right to offer a few words in explanation to the observations of the Honourable-Baronet the Jlember for the University of Oxford . It was well known that a Jew was ready to swear to all that was contained in the oaths of allegiance and supremacy . Then came the question , was the oath of abjuration imposed in order that all Members who entered the house should declare themselves Christians ? Kow , he believed that neither those who proposed or who . supported tho oath of abjuration ever dreamt of its necessity on that ground . It was introduced solely for the " purpose of making persons declare that they would bear allegiance to the family now on she ' throne , and not to the descendants of James
the Second . To the conditions , therefore , of tho oaths of allegiance , supremacy , and abjuration the Juw was ready to swear and subscribe ; but no doubt the words at the end of the last oath placed him in a position of difficulty , and precluded it being administered to him in that form . He , ( Lord John Russell ) however , could not but think that on this question the wishes of the people at large ought to be very much consulted , and especially electors of members of parliament . ( Hear , hear . ) Within the la-t few days a second member of the Jewish persuasion had been elected as a representative for a borough by a majority of nearly 91 ) 1 ) votes . ( Hear ) Uo was glad to see th . it the llo . ' iouivihlo Alderman who had been thus
elected had declared H as his intention not to come down and offer to take his seat until the other house of parliament had an opportunity of considering the present bill , ( near , hear . ) He ( Lord J . Russell ] was ready to meet the views of that other house of parliament in regard tothe sentiments which had been evinced upon one clause of the bill , and if neccessary to withdraw it . Now that the House of Commons was about , for thc . third time , to declare that Jews have a rt ; ht to sit in this house , he thought
it was quite time that toe H' » jso of Lords should consider what was due to the people . With regard to popular elections it struck iiin that tho present state of the case gave Jews a most decided advantage us against Ohriatiaus , because the Jew was ahJe to hold hiraself out totlio voters as a persecuted man , and one ia whom was centred the principle of religious liberty . He did not think that even if this bill passed , its effects would extend beyond admitting one or two Jews into parliament , and would certainly uofc give them any advantages over
Christians . Mr . Nbwdhoate ( who was received with loud cries of " oh" ) said that he did not agree with tho noble lord as to the effect which this question had upon popular elections ; an opinion never had been elicited from the people at a general election . As for the late election at Greenwich there were exceptional circumstances which prevailed upon persons to vote for Mr . Salomons rather than Mr . Wire , apart from any political grounds . Mr . W : ra had been an active supporter of Baron
ItOlhschild , and had been very much employed by the Jewish community in his legal capacity , so that the electors of Greenwich had merely to choose between a Jewish barrister and his attorney . He rejoiced that the Right Hon . Baronet was not about to call upon the house to express any further opinion upon this bill , because , in his opinion , Air . Alderman Salomons , although be did not mean immediately to present himself , and had , nevertheless , been elected under a pledge to force himself into the house , in defiance of the law .
Mr . Hodosoh was astonished that the noble lord , who announced himself as the champion of Protestantism , should come down to the house one night to propose a measure to defend Protestantism , and on tne next push forward a Bill which was an insult to the feelings of the majority of Protestants in the country . Mr . Pldmtbb thought that after the division on the second reading of tho Bill , which waa only carried by a majority of twenty-five , it was not necessary to divide the house . Still he should take the final opportunity of entering his complete protest against the principle of the measure .
Mr . T . A Smith expressed hisconvietion that the division in favour of the Bill ou the last stage would have been much larger had it not been brought on at such a late hour . He was quite ready to divide , and he was sure that the majority would be a triumphant one . After a few words from Mr . Hknlbt , Tlie Bill was then read a third time and passed without a division . The house then went into committee upon the Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill , the clauses of which were agreed to , after much discussion .
The order for going into committee upon the Woods , Forests , &c , Bill , gave rise to a debate of a very miscellaneous character , in the course of which Lord Sbimoub gave certain explanations with reference to the cro « n land revenues , and observed that one of the main objects of this bill was to facilitate the understanding of the complicated accounts of the office . Mr . Thelawwbt , 8 ir W . Joram , and Mr . Hums dwelt' upon the bad management of this property . Mr . Hbnlet objected that this bill was not framed so as to fix direct responsibility anywhere , which was essential to the amendment of the system . The Chancellor of the Exchequer offered a general defence of the bill , after which the house went into committee upon its clauses .
Upon reaching the fourth clause the chairman was ordered to report progress , and likewise an interruption caused in the Committee by the honourable member for EnniB ( the 0 'Gorman Mahon ) , who being called by the Speaker to apologise , de dined to do so , but offered an explanation , which was considered by the Chairman to exculpate him from any intention to interrupt the proceedings of > the Committee . The Schools Sites Act' Amendment Bill , and the Loan Societies Bill were committed . The Highway Rates Bill , the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill , and the Burgesse 3 and Freemen ' s Parliamentary Franchise Bill were read a third time and passed . The other business baring neen disposed of , the House adjourned at a quarter past one o ' clock . ( From our Second Edition of last iveek . J FRIDAY . Junb 27 .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In reply to a question trom Mr . A , St&fford . Lord J . Rtsssix said that the commissioners for the Crystal Palace had contracted that the building should be removed from nyde Park by the 1 st of Sovember , and they had no power to direct that it should be longer retained there . With reipeot to the ideas of the government with regard to the retention of the building , he could only say that they had never considered the subject , and lad not at present the materials for such
consideration . On the order of the day for considering the Ecclesiastical Titles' Aeaumption Bill , as amended in Committee , Sir F . Thesiger moved an amendment in the preamble , changing the words " brief and rescript " into ' briefs and rescripts . " llis design was to make the bill a protection against future aggression , as well a 9 a protest against the past . " This being the last opportunity that offered ere the bill waa framed into its ultimate shape , he earnestly exhorted the house not to let it go forth in its present defective and impotent state . With much emphasis he explained and enforced the series o - ^ aiendments he had to suggest , of which the One

now moved was the first , and maintained that they worVK >« . rr to render the bill operative in Ire-1-ind to fulfil the purpose indicated by the Prune Vini ' -ter when the measure was first introduced , and to provi'ie a substantial defence for our assailed relipiou 8 independence . Lord J . RcssBM denied that tlie bill required the aiin'iidmems so emphatically insisted upon , and contended that the one now before them would rather tend to weaken its prnctic . il operation . The amendment was supported by Mr . Kapier . Tho hou « e divided : — For the amendment ... ... loo Against . ... 100-35 _ Tlie announcement of this majority was vociferouslv choered by the opposition . Several verbal amendments were then agreed to . On tho suggestion of Sir J . Graham , the bill was ordered to lio reprinted , and Lord J . Rl'SSUL . 1 , fixed the third reading for Friday nest .
The third reading of the Oath of Abjuration Bill was postponed until Thursday next . Several other bills were advanced a stage , after which the house adjourned .

COPrRICUT MEETING . On Tuesday last , a meeting of authors and publishers w ; iS held at the Uanover-squara Rooms , to disapprove ( as the circular stated ) of the recent decision of L- > rd Campbell in the Court of Error , by which copyright of their works was granted to nonresident foreign authors . Alosfc of the leading authors ami publishers were present . Sir E . Bdllkr Lytton was called to the cbaii , and adverted to tho law of the case , from the Sth of Anne down to the present tune , arguing ttiat copyright had never vet been jrranted to foreign authors , a * proved in the case of Voltaire , and th : it it ought not
to be granted unless similar advantages were granted by the foreigners . It was uecessary the En <> li * h autl . or and publisher should be protected against the foreign one . They might oppose his views on this question as protectionists , but he imped political points would not be mooted . He did not . agree with those who said , let this country do right , no matter what others do . It was our duty to protect our own Bullets . What has caused the ruin of-tutljorchip andot the literature of Ameriwi ? Bsu . iuso English worke were allowed . to . be printed th ' .-re , and thus the American author was undersold , and had not a chmeo .
Mr . BonK , in a lengthened speech , detailed the origin and progress of the copyright law as already sut forth in the pamphlet published by him , and concluded 6 y moving the following resolution : — " That t ! is meeting viewa with apprehension the recent decision of the Court of Error reversing the previous decision of the Court of Exchequer , and thereby declaring that foreign authors resident abroxi are entitled to British copyright , although subj -cts of a state which declines to avail itself of the International Copyright Act . That * uch decision , if finally established , must prove extremely prejudicial to the interests of British literature in all its departments , whilst it removes a material inducement to the acceptance by foreign states of the International Copyright Act . " The Rev . Dr . WoRriiisoTOX seconded the motion , and illustrated the injury ol piracy as evidenced in Italy , wheie , owin ^ to that reason , literature was quite prostrate .
Mr . Ernest Jones opposed the motion , m order to rescuo the English literary world from the . disgrace that would attach to it if that resolution passed . The arguments adduced in its favour were hreefold . First , those based on law and precedent ; second , those founded on morality ; third , those built upon self-interest . Thu first he begged the meeting to discard . There wore law : ind precedent in favour of plenty of things in this country , which were a disgrace to the legislature that inflicted , and to the people that allowed them . If laws were bad , although they had existed for . a thousand years , that was a thousand reasons wherefore we should alter them . For what but . this had they a living legislation in their lords » nd commons , such as they were ? For what but this had we the living legislature of tho meeting now before him , and of the great public beyond those walls ? ( Cheers . ) The second class of arguments he h ; id to com b at w re tho .-e based upon morality . The honuura ' jlti lionet told them thero was no
morality in granting copyright to the furoi ^ n author , unless the foreign government granted it to our . s Where did the honourable member study moral ethiCB ?— in the same school in which be studied protection ? ( Cheers and laughter . ) llis morality was—thieving is bad , but because you ' re a thief I'll remain one too ! ( Hear , hear . ) His morality was—I won ' t be a good boy one hour before you do ; and if you remain a rascal for ever I'll remain one too . ( Cheers . ) llis morality was—I won ' t commit a virtuous action until I receive a consideration for so doing . With what face could we inveigh against piracy abroad , unless we put an end , to piracy at home ? Morality , indeed ! All they had to consider was , is Lord Campbell's judgment right or wrong ? What is the right
of the foreign author ? It he prints huelor sedition in his books , is he liable to be prosecuted by the English law , and to suffer the penalties of the English . If so , they ought to grant him the protection of the British law as well , ( Cheers ) Those cheers told him there was still some morality in the literary world of England—some enlightenment that would prevent their being led by Protectionist baronets , and Free Trade cotton-lords . He now addressed himself to the third class of arguments , that of self interest . They were told by the honourable baronet , if we granted them copyright , our publishing trade aud literature vrou . d bo ruined . He ( Mr . Jones ) asked how ? Would that prevent translations ? and did the groat public read French , German , and Italian ? But tlie hon .
baronet bad alluded to America : he had told them that American literature was destroyed because English authors had no copy right in America . According to that . English literature would bo destroyed if American authors had no copyright in England . Lord Campbell ' s judgment granted them copyright : the honourable chairman asked them to condemn those judgments—so that the honourable gentleman was asking them to support tho very thing in England which he hud just told them had ruined the literature of America . ( Great Cheering ) If the honourable baronet advocated the bad cause of protection no better than he advocated the resolution before the meeting , be did not think it had much chance of victory . ) Loud cheers . ) Buc they had been told it would be b * d
policy to grant othera copyright , . 19 we should not then get it for ourselves . He ( Mr . Jones ) reminded thorn of an old adage , and there was much philosophy in some old proverbs : " Example is better than precept . " They might preach copyright to eternity , but unless they could show that they practised what they professed , they would find few supporters . Let them not sit on that platform as literary Pharisees , eulogising copyright , and condemning the judge who enforces what they themselves have praised . ( Cheers . ) Let them net the example , before they dared to say : " Do thou likewise V—let them lead , if they meant other men to follow . The Rev . Dr . Worthington had told them that Italian literature lay low , because of piracyaye ! but it was piracy of another sort . The pirates
were crowns and mitres . Italian literature lay low , because Gayazzi and Silvio Pellico were exiles , instead of being happy in their native land . It lay low , because Mazzini and Garibaldi were in America and England , instead of planting tho tricolour of the Republic on the battlements of Rome ! ( Loud cheers . ) It lay low , because the fair field ot Italian literature waa defaced by the hard hoof of the Austrian husaar . —because it was trampled l > y the foot of the Gallic brigand—because it was torn by the crozier of the anti-Christian Pope ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) Literature always perished where tyranny and priestcraft ruled . ( Cheers . ) The
learned publisher had alluded to the fact ihtt , he could not sell his periodicals . I will tell'you , said the speaker , why that is the case , It is because all your publications are a century behind the age . If you write for the people ( the many ) instead of the people's masters ( the few ) , your works would aoou go off . Let uh hear the hoarse whispers of democracy amid the rustling of your satin pages , and , my word for it . your works will lack no readers . Mr . Jones concluded by moving an amendment , approving of the judgments of Lord Campbell , as the best practical recognition of international copyright . the
Mr . Wilkes , publisher , seconded the amendment , which was supported by Mr . Foggo , Mr . Ujde Clarke , Mr . Vizitelly , and opposed by Mr . Colburn , and Mr . Jeffreys . Tho original resolution was carried amid cheers and hisses . Mr . Chuiksiiank moved the formation of a committee . Mr . Kbnry . M \ THF . w moved , but subsequently withdrew an amendment . Mr . Cheard and Mr . Howiir moved an address on the subject to the House of Lords , and the meeting separated .

Clement'slane , King William-street ; and since that corporation left Lime-street , we have been left in the house to take care of it . I recollect that some ioors and fixtures which were taken don-n on the 21 st of March were removed by Mr . Wood , on the 22 ud of the same month . I saw Mr . Huggins at the house on the 21 it of March . He directed me to give him a light . It was fn the evening , and he was in the backroom of the coffee sliop . When I gave him the light I went ui > stairs to my own apartment . I think he was there about an hour and a half . The candle was an entire one when I gave it to him , and it was a great
deal burnt when he returned it . His appearance was different then . He looked dirty and asked me fora towel and water , and a brush to brush his clothes . I was in the habit of looking into that cellar , the key of which was in the door . There was no hole in the wall of that cellar communicating with the cellar in which ihe burning took place , up to that day . I have seep the cellar since , and there is now a hole of communication in the wall between the two cellars . The door of the cellar next to that in which the burning took place was locked at nuhfc . I saw the bunch of keys in the prisoner ' s hands on that night , ov on the Saturday night . The prisoner gave me one key off the bunch . I have not seen them since . I recolkct the day of the fire . I saw the prisoner in the house at ha f past two o ' clock in the afternoon of that day . He rang the bell and asked me for the key of Mr . Taylor ' s room , and 1 took it down , unlocked the door and left him there . He was there about an hour .
[ Ift locked the door and brought up the key to me Theie is a staircase from tb « back ot' Mr . Taylor ' s room to the coffee shop . I heard the prisoner's voice at four o ' clock , or thereabouts . I went out at seven o ' clock in the evening with my husband to King William-street , to do the offices of the Colonisation Corporation . I have been discharged since that by the company . I returned about ten o'clock , and found my husband outside the door . He told me that he and the policeman smelt fire . 1 smelt that something was burning , and I went down into the other cellar and took up some of the sawdust that was in it and smelt it , and I thought then the smell proceeded from the drain , and I said so , and then went up stairs with my husband and had supper : and on going up to bed at eleven I found the room smothered with
smoke . I said , " Do not go that way , or you will be suffocated . " My husband then went , off for the firemen , and I called the police . Mr . Huggins sent for me on Thursday morning to his office in Copthall Court . He said to me , " Mrs . Strong , this is a sad affair , " I said , "It is , sir . " He said , " Can you 'iccount for it in any way ? " 1 8 aid , " No , sir . I know no one was in and out of the place except yourself . ' He said , " What is your real opinion of it ?" I replied , " Whoever was guilty of laying that wretched plot , did not study my life or that of my husband . They had better come and murdered me in roy bed than set fire to the house . " I then asked
him wh y it was that the hole was then made in the wall , and why the door waa kept locked fer the last three monthB ? He said , " Perhaps it was made by the men when they were at work . " A great many gentlemen were present at the lime , and I left very much excited . —Witnesses were then called who proved that the prisoner had effected insurtnicet ) in the Globe and Phoenix Companies . Other evidence having been given , Mr . Bidkin offered no objection to the cmmittal of the unfortuna'e gentleman for trial , and admitted that the case must be decided by another tribunal . The prisoner wa& accordingly committed to Newgate for trial at the next Central Criminal Court Sessions .
GUILDHALL . — Putrid Meat . —Mr . Bonsor , a meat salesman , of Newgate-mHrket , appeared to answer the following complaint : — John Itobtrt Pocblington , the inspector of the market , said he found two quarters and a leg of mutton in Mr . Bonsor ' s shop in a state of decomposition from the heat of the wfiathw . Having received instructions to seize all meat tbiit appeared in an unfit state for consumption , he frequently cautioned Mr , Bonsor against disposing of it before he had separated the lean from the fat , the latter being always sold to the melters ; but Mr . Bonsor insisting he had a right by the Lord Mayor's pormission to make tho most of 8 uch meat as long as he did not sell it for human consumption , entirely disregarded these cautions , and he ( Mr . Pocklington ) was therefore obliged to
seize tho meat as he found it , and bring it under tho notice of the magistrate . —Mr . Bonsor said that he sold the very best meat that came into the market , but that during this weather largo quantities of meat , and frequently whole carcasses turned bad during thu transit from the country to tho London market . In consequence of thin loss in hot weather , and that caused by the frequent seizure of meat in such a state , he and a number of salesmen by common consent last year , went before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House , where fin arrangement was proposed by Mr . Alderman Gibbs , und acceded to by all present , to the effect that all such meat should be first inspected by Mr . Pocklineton , and then
sont by the respective salesmen to the boilers . By this means they were able to sell the fat to the soap makers , the bones for agricultural purposes , and the lean for greaves for dogs . —Aldern . an Hunter said ho was perfectly satisfied that Mr . Bonsor had no wish to palm upon the public decomposed animal food , and he would therelore dismiss the case . At the same time he thought it would bo advisable that some arrangement similar to that agreed upon bi'fore Mr . Alderman Gibbs should be made and adhered to by all parties . —It , was then arranged that the meat should be condemned , but to be applied in the manner directed by Mr . Alderman Gibbs , and that plan to he continued during the hot weather .

irisoner then took from his coat pocket about two munds of white lead . Witness asked him where he got it from . The prisoner said he had picked it up inside of the building . Witness said , " No , that can ' t be , for I watched you from the roof of the building . " He then took the prisoner to the station , and on searching him tlicre found upon him a bottle containing ; about a pint of linseed oil , which the prisoner accounted for by Saying it was . 1 peculiar kind of oil , and he had brought it to show some of the men . The prisoner afterwards said it was the first moss ho ever was in , and would take care it was the last . —The prisoner in defence said that he found the articles close by tho Exhibition . — Mr . Long was of opinion that the prisoner had come dishonestly by the property , and committed him for

Ilardwick was puzzled how to deal with the case . —Mr . Otway , the superintendent ,
said he had not the least doubt the man perfectly well heard and understood everything that had been stated , but the man found it to be to his interest to effect total deprivation of the organs ol speech and hearing . —It was also communicated to tho magistrate that the man was one of the greatest begging peats of the district . —Mr . Hardwick said it would be advisable to find out some person who understood signs , who could communicate with the man , or perhaps discover whether he waa an impoater .- It was suggested that the Deaf and Dumb Institution would be the best place to take the num . —Mr . Ilardwick thought not . Some short time ago a lad , pretending to be deaf and dumb , was brought to the court . He was sent to the Deaf and Dumb Institution for inspection . The
; mswer returned was that tho lad was deaf and dumb , and consequently a proper object for commiseration .

driver of one of the supplementary Exhibition omibuses , was summoned before Mr . Long by Sir Frederick Roe , for overloading his vehicle . —Sir F . Roe stated , on the 24 th of June , about half-past eight o ' clock , he saw an omnibus , driven by the defendant , standing still at tho north side of Piccadilly , near Half Moon-street . The omnibus was crowded with persons * inside and out . lie attempted to count the number outside , and to the best of his belief it amounted to sixteen persons . The wretched animals attached to the omnibus were evidently unable to drag this monstrous load a step further . The conductor was pushing at the wheel , and two other persons were assisting , but to no purpose . Some of the outsWe passengers and one inside passenger left the omnibus , but the horses were still unwble to meve it . The
persons continued to push at the wheel , and ac ast he wont up to tho oonduetoiviind said— " This is very wrong . " The man replied , " 1 have a jibbing horse , " ( the common excuse , ) and then some more of the passengers got down and lightened the load , until it came within the power of the animals to draw it . As a proof that tho stoppage was not from a jibbing horse , but from tlie load lieiug too heavy , Uie horses moved on when relieved . —The excuse of the defendant was that he h- ' d a stiff horse , which was not used to omnibus work . —Mr . Long said it was wrong to overlord omnibuses in such a way , and inflicted the small fine of 5 s .

Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was very moderate , the demand for most breeds of beasts was steady , and , in some instances , the primest Scot ? , ruuta , and Hertford's , including Shorthorns , were disposed of at a trifling advance in the quotations . However , thu geneval top figure tor beef did not exceed 3 s Gd per Slbs ,, at which u roou clearance was effected .

STATE OF TRADE . Manchestbb , July 1 . —The only alteration in our market tn-day is as regards goods suitable to India . The accounts liy the overland mail of the piece goods markets having given way , and of an unfavourable change from the ti K ht ntsis of the money lunrkut , are quite borne out by the private letters received by commercial bouses here , and the consequence has been a ureat contraction of busi- ess in cloth of all descriptions suitable to the Bombay iind Calcutta markets . There are contracts yet raining , especially m shirtings , which ivill require lime to complete , but they » VVi not numerous , and are comparatively light , so that the intelli gence has at once been felt in the market her :-, and prices gave way in these descriptions of cloth pve «> - gcncrnUy to the 1 xtcnt of about lid . per piece . The full effect up'ni the market of the decline " of cotton had not been felt in India at the date of last advices , and may be expected to exercise considerable depression , the entire results of which will not reach us f .-r two or three mails to come . As regards other kinds of clotli . mcli as are in demand for lionie coiiMimption and for export to oilier markets , they lire iu demand nt last prices , und the business in yam , both water and mule , is steady at full rates .
