Tl- bill was introduced upon the plea that foreign and colonial spirits had ati advantage in tho mode of f »< mdin $ r over home-made spirits , which was calculated t-o lessen the conu-.-irative consumption of tht : « tter . This he contended ^ as - . in error , ami qui ' -d returns to show , that since the year 1847 , ook- = ial and foreign apiriis had decreased in con-8 ui .: | don , while that of home-made spirits had lar ^ r'y increased .

E : i . GRAsviiiE vindicated the principle of tho bill , ; : -1 insisted upon its necessity .
TLr iiapers were ordered to be laid on the table . Tbv Common Lodging-bouses Bill went through COBiWitMe . and their lorJehips adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Merchant Seamer . B' Fund Bill , and the Land Clause Consolidation ' Ireland ) Bill , were severally considered in committee , and some progress made with the clauses of the respective measures . Tits Inhabited House Dott Bill . —The third reading of this bill having been moved , Mr . " DisRiELi reiterated the objections he had previously urged against this portion of the finance
• oheroe constructed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer . Instead of being raaiea complete substitute for the abolished window tax , a . large deficienov w . as left , for which the house would have nereiuer to provide by an increase in the burthen of d . jcct taxation . He strongly disapproved of a me& ? - ; ri > that pointed to such a result , and prognosticate i that before long the house and the country wouH join in condemni ng a policy , which involved the i . p ? -essity of su addition to the existing pre-sare of tUe taxes -weighing directly upon property and income .
Lop ! J . Rcssell felt satisfied with the strong arguments and high authorities that had been pronounced in favour of a moderate and regulated house duty as a means of raising revenue . Tiie deficiency dwoll upon by Mr . Disraeli was altogether conjectnral , and meanwhile the country was well rid ot a tax rrhoh prevented the free access of light and air into ihe dwellings of the people . The bill was then read a third time and passed . Hm * h Brookk . —Mr . Hume moved for an address to h < -: Majesty praying for a commission to inquire Into : ie proceedings of Sir James Brooke on the coast oi ° Borneo , and specially with reference to his attack , aided by a naval force belonging to the East
India Company , upon certain -wild tribes of that island called the Sakarran and Sarebas Dyaks on the night of tha 21 st of July , 1 S 49 . The hon . member referred to a Tariety of documentary evidence to show that these Dyaks where a comparatively feeble . and inoffensive race . Under the circumstances the attack made upon them was equiv . ' ilent to a massacre , and he contended that a fttll inquiry ought to be made , in order to determine how far the GqTernor of Sarawak was justly amenable for that grievous crime .

THE SUSPECTED MUHDEU AT NORWICH . We stated last week , aa our readers will remember , that portions of a female body had been found in different localities in the neighbourhood of this city . A rigid seach was then instituted in every direction , and this search has been unremittingly continued . The result ha 3 been tho subsequent discovery of some further remains . On Saturday a piece of skin and a piece of muscle were found by the police in Mr . Chapman ' s field , adjoining Hangman ' s-lane , a locality in which , up to that time , no remains had been discovered . A portion of a shinboue was also brought to the station-house , on Saturday , which Lad been found on the Hellesdonroad , on tho previous Friday week , and been given
to a do » . There was then upon it a large piece of flesh , which , together with a portion ot tho bone , the dog consumed . On Sunday morning , some intestines were taken to the police-station , whioh had been found in a drain in Bishop-street , and had been deposited with the filth in the Bull-close . —On Monday , a field opposite Mile-cross , on the Hellesdon-road , where several pieces had been previously found , a body of men were set to mow down the grass , and while they were doing so , one of their scythes came in contact with a hard substance , which they found to be a portion of a human thighbone . It appeared to have been left there by a dog , as the flesh was completly cleaned off , and portions of the bone seemed to have been gnawed away .
During the same day , what appeared to be a part of a female breast wa 3 brought to the station-house . —On Wednesday afternoon , some portions of ribbones , with flesh upon them , were discovered in the river near the Foundry Bridge . They appeared to have been divided by a rough saw ; but it is not known whether they are human or not . On the same day some intestines were found in the river , at Wfrilingham , but the medical men are unable to give a decided opinion as to whether they have formed part of a human body . —No further remains have since been discovered . Until within the last few days no doubt appeared to exist in the minds of the publio that a most atrocious and cold-blooded murder
had been committed , and many suspicious rumours , both in reference to whom the murderer and victim inieht he , were in circulation , most , if not all , of which came to tho eara of Mr . Superintendent Yarington , who applied himself most as-Mduously to their investigation , but to none of these did any importance attach with the exception of one , which seemed to demand a close examination . This was a rumour that a young man named Eaton , who resides in Crook ' s « place . had publicly Btatod to several parties that he knew tho person who committed the murder ; and that a lad in the employ of Mr . Pycroft , butcher , had had something to do with it . Eaton was accordingly apprehended , and he underwent two or three close examinations before the magistrates , together with the boy above alluded to and some other witnesses . The rumour appeared to have arisen from some meaningless expressions on the part of Eatonwho is said to be only half-witted—and he was discharged .
One extraordinary statement which has found its way into the columns of some of our contemporaries we must contradict—namely , that a large portion of the body had been found at Dereham . This tale is evidently a sheer invention of some over-fertile brain . The question still remains undecided—Has a murder been committed after all ? We must say that if such is the case , it is most surprising that , although the greatest publicity has been given to tho circumstance of the discovery of these rern ; i > ns—bills announcing the fact having been sent to every pO 9 t town and to every newspaper in England , and the greatest excitement having been caused throughout the country , yet there has been
no information of any person being missed who is supposed to have come to such an untimely end . The p . rties mentioned in our last paper as having been 1 <> sc have since been heard of . Under these circumstances , of course the probability that a murder has been perpetrated is greatly lessened , and the opinion is becoming very general—and not least so among the medical gentlemen of the city —that the portions which have been found , are parts of a female body which has fallen into the hands of some young surgeons who knew not what to do with it , and who have made a bungling hand of disposing of it . We confess that , from all we can learn , there is some ground for suspicion that this is the mode in which the mystery will be
accounted for . As a circumstance which it is just possible may have some connexion with the murder—if suoh a deed has really been committed—we may state that Mr . John Wright , who lives opposite the Dolphin , in Upper Heigham , has given information ac the police-office , that about half-past eleven o ' clock OD the nirrht of Monday , the 2 ad of last month , he heard five or six violent ehrieka by a female , as though she were either being murdered or in great df-ugf r . The shrieks cama from the direction of Ueieham Causeway . —West Norfolk News .

TreatMKKT 0 ? IlOHQBAMS AT NEW YORS . —A movement in reference to the Commissioners of Emigration was made in the Assembly on the 20 th ult ., which we hope will be followed up . If the legislature wish to promote the cause of humanity and philanthropy , they will institute a searching investigation into the manner in which the unfortunate emigrants , who arrive at this port from all parts of the world , are treated . We think it can be proved with ease that the Commissioners of Emigrot ion are more of a nuisance than anything else , and that more robbery and ill-treatment have been practised on emigrants since the appointment of the commissioners , than was the case previously . T e city of New York , the state of New York , the whole country , is disgraced and degraded before
the whole world , and before heaven , for tolerating tbe iniquities that are practised on emigrants arriving in this city . We call upon the legislature , therefore , for the sake , of humanity , to follow up this movement , so that the system of villany may be put an end to . If we allow it to continue , we shall merit t ( je fate of Sodom or that of Gomorrah , Ten hundred times ten hundred proofs can easily be obtained to substantiate the truth of what we have repeatedly said concerning these impositions . Let tl . e diabolical confederacy of runners , rowdies , pugilists , and emigrant boarding-house keepers , be broken up , and the empire city of the empire state relieved of the stigma which aow rests upon it , to * tolerating so long the villanies practised on emigrants . —New York Herald .
Compound Householders . —An important alteration has just been made by Parliament with respect to voters known as "Compound Householders . " The new act is entitled , " An Act to aiuend the Law for the Registration of certain Persons commonly known SB ' Compound Householders , ' end to facilitate the exercise by such persons of their right to Tote in the election of Members to serve in Parliament . " By parties availing themselves of the provisions of the act before tbe 20 th inst . the franchise may be extended . According to the Reform Act ( 2 nd and 3 rd William IV . cap . 45 ) the poor rates are required to be paid by the 20 th of July in each year which were payable by the 6 th of April ; and by another act , regulating tbe payment of the rates and taxes by Parliamentary electors ( 11 th and 12 th Victoria , chap .
90 ) , the rates were to be paid by the same period which were payable by the 5 th of January in each Tear . It seems that " Compound Householders " are required to make continual claJm to be registered , and Uis declared to be " often inconvenient or impracticable for such persons to make continual claims m respect to each rate , and many persons are conseq »? deprived of the franchise . " Therefore it is enacted , that persons having once claimed to be rated n Jwf f i ^ onT fV ^ ndpay 5 or tendering , on or before the 20 th of July , the rate due by the 5 A of January preceding , shall not be required in future to renew such claim . The liability of a claimant to rates is to continue so long as he occupies the premises , and remains on the register . A composition with a laadlord is to determine the amount of rate to which the tenant is liable .

GUILDHALL , —Jamos Kelly , 8 labouring man was placed at the bar , before Alderman Kelly ) charged with being concerned , witU several others not in custody , in stealing a chest of carpenter ' s tools , value about £ 3 . —The prisoner was remanded . Window Breakers . —Harriet Marshall and Mary Anne King , the former a desperate window smasher , were charged with attempting to break the windows of Messrs . Hitchcock and Rogers , of St . Paul ' s Churchyard . —Alderman Kelly : You are well known here , Marshall . You must find sureties in £ 10 each for your good behaviour . Marshall : Where am 1 to find sureties ? ( A laugh . )—Alderman Kelly : If you cannot tind them you must go to prison for one month . —Marshall : Thank you , my lord . I wish I Was near you , I'd break your head , . Here her language became so disgusting tbat the officer was obliged to hurry her to one of the cells beneath the court .
MANSION-HOUSE . — Joseph Ady Agais . — Scott , the officer , informed the Lord Mayor that Joseph Ady had been taken into custody for the sum of £ 17153 ., due to her Majesty for the postage of letters , and ledged in the Comptor . The Lord Mayor said he regretted very much that he was obliged to issue warrants against a man of such an advanced age ; but the defendant presented an instance of obstinacy the most extraordinary and incorrigible , and if Mr . Ady was determined to persevere in the course , against which he had been so frequently and urgently remonstrated with , a magistrate had no alternative but to punish him for the transgression of the law . A policeman said he had seen the defendant deposit a parcel containing between , he supposed , 200 to 300 unpaid letters , a few days before his apprehension , in one of the branch offices . CA 9 E of STAnBiNS . —George Chaplin was brought before Alderman Wire , charged with having stabbed Paul Ryan , a cabman , in the arm with a knife , —
Tho Prosecutor said : I was standing in the street at half-past twelve o ' clock on Saturday , in conversation with another person , when the prisoner ran against ua , I cried " Hallo , governor , take care of my foot . " He replied in a very abusive way , and used disgusting language . We then had a few words , and he put himself in a fighting attitude , and asked me wh . tt I could do . I struck him- in my own defence , and he partly took off his coat , lie then looked at me , put it on again , and said , " I'll givo you something before I have done with you . " lie then went into the road , and returned immediately , and as I was speaking to a person he gave me a severe blow with something very heavy on the head , £ wnich stunned me and cut my hat . He then ran off , and I followed and stvuck him . I saw that he had a knife in his hand , and he instantly struck at me with it , and it pierced my arm , which 1 held up to defend myself . The wound in my arm was an inch in length . The prisoner was committed for trial .
Threatesiso Letters , —W , Laccy was charged with having sent threatening letters to Thomas Bare , carpenter , who superintends the works of the new market ; at Billingsgate under Mr . Jay , The prosecutor said : I have the power of engaging and discharging the men under the contractor . —The prisoner was engaged as a watchman , and I had occasion to discharge him . I afterwards saw him , and he said he had been told by the walking foreman to return to his employment . I said to him , " that if the walking foreman knew what I knew about him , there would he no ro-engagement of the kind ; for I understood that he had been absent during
Sundays ; and consequently strangers were allowed to be about the place , and I would not give him charge of the place again , until I should see the party referred to . " The result of my communicatian with tho walking foreman was , that the prisoner was not reinstated in the situation , and he wrote three letters to me subsequently . —Here Alderman Wire read the letters . They accused tho prosecutor and Maxwell , a person also in the employment of Mr . Jay , of having caused to him the loss of his place . Called them infernal rogues , and promised to them both a speedy and violent removal from the world . Aa the second letter was more formidable than tho
first , and the third more formidable than the second , the prosecutor , it was considered , had some cause for apprehension , and it was determined that measures should be taken to protect him and the man who was marked down as his companion in punishment . The prisoner was committed for trial at tho Central Criminal Court . Stealixg a Clock . —John Kleyser was charged with having stolen an American clock from the premises of Messrs . Brewster and Co ., of Walbrook , The prisoner had hired a porter to be in waiting for him in Walbrook , in order to carry some goods in a blue bag . The prisoner went into Messrs . Brewster and Co . ' s shop , and soon afterwards returned , took the bag from the porter , and reentered the shop , apparently for the purpose of
getting the bag filled , having desired the man to stay about the Mansion House till it should be ready . The prisoner , however , did not call him to do the job , but was to his surprise taken into custody upon the charge of having stolen a clock , and secreted it in the blue ba « f . The clock was found in the bag in a yard , in premises near the sliop , which had been plundered , in which place the prisoner no doubt deposited the stolen property in his hurry and fear of detection . Committed for trial . A ' Malicious Cash . —Catharine Jane Henry and Mary Ann Ward were charged before Alderman Carter with having burned the clothes off tho back of Sarah Young , with vitriol . —The prosecutrix said , on Monday night , at half-past eleven o ' clock , as I was walking along Cheapside , a gentleman
whom I knew stopped to speak to me , and the two prisoners passed while we were talking together . He left me iind walked in the direction they had taken ; aud , in about five minutes , they returned , and Henry came up to me and said , Jewess , where are you going ? I was frightened , for I had known and had cause to be alarmed at being addressed by Henry . She then said you must come and have a drop of g in . I said I waa one who did not drink , but I consented to accompany her and Ward to tlio door of a public-house in the Old Jewry , I refused to enter the door but Henry went in , and brought out a glass of gin-and- water , to which I just put my lips . She drank it off herself , and I began to get more alarmed , and said I would go home . She then took me by the hand and said she had been greatly embittered against me , but would never do me any more harm . She took something out of a basket which she had upon her arm , and I instantly felt
something like treacle run down my hack , and said , " What is the matter with me ? " At that moment she threw away something , and van off a 3 fast as she could . I found afterwards that she had gone and changed her clothes , and I at once perceived that my satin cloak , which had cost me £ 5 , and my dreas , were burned off my back . I felt a burning heat in my back , and I feel it still , and am convinced that she had thrown vitriol over me . She and her sister , who was some time ago imprisoned for stabbing me , had threatened to do me some desperate mischief . —The defendants had been previously punished and bound over to keep the peace for assaulting the complainant . —Henry said , " A girl of the name of Miller bought the vitriol and gave it to me , as I was drunk , and this girl ( Sarah Young ) abused me in the street and struck me , and so I flung it at her . I had been drinking the whole of last week , and did not know what I was about . " —Remanded .
THAMES . —Mount . —Thomas Burnett , Thomas Harria , and John Walsh , three powerful young seamen , lately belonging to the ship American Congress , were charged with assaulting and beating Mr . William Irving Coates , the third officer of that vessel . —Mr . Pelham , who appeared for the prosecution , briefly stated the facts as Bupported in the following evidence : —The prosecutor , Mr . Coatee , whose face presented a dreadful appearance , and whose left eye was nearly " gouged" out of the socket , stated that as the vessel was hauling out of the Shad well-basin of the London Dock on Monday evening , a number of loose women got on the quay and addressed some of the men in tho most obscene language . The men began to answer them in the same strain , and as the captain ' s ladv
and several other females were on the deck , witness remonstrated with Harris , who was the most foul-mouthed of the men , and , by the captain ' s directions , ordered him forward ; and , on his refusal , had to push him on , when the two other prisoners interfered . At the instance of some gentlemen witness retired to the quarterdeck , on which the three prisoners and five other men came aft , and set on him simultaneously ; after a gallant resistance , he was knocked down on the deck , when the whole posse fell on him , kicking , thumping , and beating him about the head with a heavy lignum vim belaying-pin , until he was rendered almost insenaiblo , but was Boon roused up by an intense agony , which made him scream aloud , as one of the party—he could not say which—attempted to scoop out his left eye . There were cries from some " Kill him ; do for him ; " whilst other voices called out , '' Do not murder tho man . "
Mr . J . B . White , agent of the American stores , bore testimony of the indecency of the language used , and the violence which ensued . Witness saw a belaying pin used , but could not say by which of the parties . The captain , who had also been assailed , called for his arms , on which H .-irris said , "If you use your pistols , we can use knives . " It was most fortunate that tho conflict did notend fatally , — James Lancaster , the carman who had brought tho stores from Mr . White' ? , and wlio witnessed tho whole affray from the quarter deck , cqiifirmed the other witnesses , and proved that Harris seized the captain , when remonstrated with upon his conduct . Tho chief mtetav amed tbe fellow , on which the others rushed forward and swore that no English officers should command them . A general struggle then ensued , during which Harris used the belaying pin in a most ferocious manner . Tlie scene on board was terrific , and several of the ladiea were so alarmed that they fainted away . in-

jector White , of the River Police , soon after brought liis galley a "" * alongside , and after a kovm ° p stru" 2 le the prisoners were secured . —Mr . J ] J Godfcry , of tuo Mount . Whiteohapel , who p ' xiinined the prosecutor , said it was obvious an attempt had been made to scope out bis eye . Tin was moreover bruised and beaten generally ¦ ibout tho head and body , sustaining injuries such & 3 mi » bt be inflicted by kicks or blows from some heivv ° Want instrument . His head was a mass of bruisesand one of tho lumps was as large as an egg , and he was at present suffering great pain from the maltreatment . The prisoners , m their defence , insisted that they were the aggrieved parties , and he ca ptain and his officers were the aggressors . They said that they were not aware that Mr . Coates who had just come on board , was third officer — ' ThiSi however , was disproved , as it was shown that whilst assaulting Mr . Coates , they said .. ™ niird Enelish officer should command them . "
Mr Yardley said it was his duty to teach such persons that they must be obedient to their officers , and not disturb the discipline of the vessel , whether those officers were English , American , or of any other country . It was probable they had been drinkin ? a custom too prevalent both with English and American sailors on leaving port . That however , was no exouse , when the consenueneGS resulted in such violent breaches of discipline He should not send them for trial , but fine o of them £ 6 , or be imprisoned for six weeks .-By the American law the clothes , and what balance of wa » eB may be due to them will be forfeited to the funds of the American Refuge Society . Robbbbt .. —George Hawkin , alias Hankma , with several other aliases , a well-known thief , who nas
also been tried for highway robbery , was charged with stealing a watch .-His last appearance at this court waa for a robbery at the Stepney Church , and mo * b oi his companions have been since transported . He has lately , it appears , taken to trying the dodge on board the river steamers . On Tuesday night the prosecutor , John T . Taylor , an engraver , of High-street , Peokham , having returned about eleven o ' clock from a visit to Kosherville , whilst Btanding on tho deck of the Yesper at Blackwall Pier , felt a slight tug , and found hia watoh-chain severed in two . He seized the prisoner , who was nearest to him , saying , "Idonotlike
to accuse any one wrongfully , but I suspect you . " The ' prisoner called him aside , and said , " Peruapa you have dropped it . " Tho watch was Bubsoquently found amongst tho coals , near which the prisoner stood , and a woman named WriggleBworth had seen him in close contact with the prosecutor just before the watch was gone . When taken into custody by Preston , he aaid he was a respectable man , and so was his father before him . —Several constables , however , gave him quite a contrary character , and Mr . Yardley having been reminded of the Stepney Church affair , committed him for trial at the ensuing session of the Central Criminal Court .
WORSHIP-STREET . —ODSinucTruo a Railwaj Train . —Cornelius Upton and Joseph Gutteridge , two decently dressed youths , were plaoed at the bar before Mr . Arnold , charged with having wantonly and maliciously placed a stone upon the line of tbe Eastern Counties lloilway , whereuy the lives of tho passengers travelling thereon had been seriously endangered . —Walter Capes , one of the railway guards , stated that while proceeding in charge of his engine down the line of the Blackwall and VVoolwich Railway , at twelve o ' clock on the preceding day , for the purpose of Uking a ti'aitt of coke from one of the sidings on to the main line , he saw the prisoners stooping down over tho points immediately in front of him , one of which was drawn out by Upton , while tho other prisoner deliberately
dropped some large substance between the tongue of the point and the rail . Tho engine was at tbat moment in the act of running from the main line on to the siding the points were attached to , but he fortunately noticed the obstruction in sufficient time to enable him to warn the driver to stop tho engine , which was immediately done , and on proceeding to the spot and examining the points he found the large stone now produced firmly jambed between the tongue of the point and the rail , and the point was so driven out that but for hia timely discovery of tbe wanton act the engine must have inevitably been thrown off the line , and the lives of himself and tho driver been probably sacrificed . The instant the prisoners found they were detected , they started , off across the adjoining fields , but were pursued by witness , who speedily overtook Gutteridge , and upon charging him with the act , he denied that he had done eo , and said that the offence had been committed by the other prisoner , which
the latter admitted upon being taken into custody some time afterwards , but alleged that he had placed the stono there at the instigation of Gutteridge . The witness produced tbe stone in question , which was a large piece of flint , of such dimensions as must have produced tho ' moat serious results but for its fortunate discovery and removal . The pri « soners declined offering any answer' to the charge , and the depositions having been partially taken by Mr . Vine , the chief clerk , they were ordered to be brought up again for their formal completion . MARYLEBONE . l— Attempted Suicide . — Mary Sankey , the wife of a nian working for the parish of St .

the Bloomneld-road , and on hia proceeding to the spot and turning on his light ho beheld the prisoner floating on the surface of the water . He plunged in after her , and at length brought ker out just as she was sinking , when , as soon as she had arrived at a state of consciousness , she said she wished he had not rescued her , as she wished to have remained where she was , and thus get rid of all her trouble . Witness , with assistance , conveyed her to the station-house , where she was attended to by a surgeon , by whose directions she was removed to tbe hospital . While there it was a difficult matter to induce
ler to swallow a particle of food , and she had more than once made a desperate effort to strnngle herself . She had also some months ago tried to drown herself in the river at Blackwall and at half-past ten last Tuesday Jiisht week ( two hours prior to her being rescued from a watery grave ) she was drunk at a public-house in the Edgware-road , and injured herself by falling across a fender .

She acknowledged that she herself was much to blame . Remanded for a week .
Bbgoino Impostor . —A fellow , named Thomas Jones , who for a long period has ¦ victimised the benevolent in various parts of town , under numerous aliases , by means of fictitious tales of distress , was placed at the bar , charged with having attempted to obtain money from Iadie 3 at No . 2 , St . John ' swook Park , by falsely representing that he had recently fallen off a scaffold and sustained such severe injury a 3 to incapacitate him from doing any work , —The case Was clearly established against him , and it was shown by the evidence of Daniels and Harvey , active officers of the Mendicity Society , that he ( prisoner ) was one of the moBt artful beggars in existence , and that he had repeatedly been convicted at alarlborough-street and other police courts . —lie was sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for i liree months .

The Cab Kuisance . —James Smith , a cabman , was charged with having refused to admit a party into his vehicle , he having plied for hire . —The evidence went to show that at four in the morning of the 2 od inBt ., Mr . Boyle , a solicitor , in Southarnpton-buildings , Chancery-lane , accompanied by his brother , went to a ball in Breoknock-crescent , and that on leaving the residence they were hailed by defendant , who called out , " Cab , sir , cab . "
They were about to get in , when defendant , who stood close to the door , asked them where they were going to , at the samo tituo making suoh observations as would imply that if they were going as far as Hampstead or Highgate ho might take them , but that he would not like to drive them for a short distance . Mr . Boyle and his brother then got into another cab , and were driven home . Defendant was distinctly given to understand that he had no right to question parties as to their destination until after they had entered the vehicle . —The com plainant said he had no vindictive feeling in the matte ) 1 , and Hint ho should be satisfied with a light amount of puiiij-liment . —Defendant was fined in tho mitigated peimlty of 10 » , and costs , or a fortnight ' s imprisonment .

Desired Walker to procure a hghc , which he did , and then perceived that the dogs had hold of each other ; one of them was torn , and bleeding very much , and they both seemed nearly exhausted . —After much other evidence extenuating as well aa corroborative had been heard , Mr .

Witness followed them and watched them for some minutes , when he saw the prisoners come up to a gentleman and stop him . He then hoard in his
Mjlea say , " Sir , your horse lias got a stone foot . " Tho prisoner Roberts then stooped down and pretended to remove a stone from the horse ' s forefoot , tho said stone having been supplied to him by Miles , who took it from his pocket ; For this pretended service the prisoner received a shilling . Having seen them defraud two other gentlemen in the same manner , he took them in charge . In the pocket of Miles he found several stones and 33 . in ailvor , and on Roberts seven duplicates and 3 id . in coppers . —The prisoners , who strongly denied the charge , were committed to priaon for fourteen days .
BOW-STREET . — Powota Driving , — George Brown , omnibus driver , was charged with furious and reckless driving , also with concealing his badge . —Captain Pakenham , of tho Coldstream Guarde , stated that on tlie 1 st of July he was coming in a cab up Parliament-street , Westminster . On arriving at Whitehall he observed the defendant drive his omnibus before the cab-horse ' s head with auch rapidity and violence as to turn it on to the pavement , where it struggled , to the imminent danger of tho passers-by , tilj the omnibus , by resuming its path , would allow it to recover . The defendant then turned round , and made some
jeering observation to the cabman , who , however , got down , and attempted to find defendant ' s badge , which he waa unable to discover . Defendant said in answer to the charge of concealing hia badge that just before the occurrence it commenced raining , and he had taken off his light coat , on which was hung his number , and thrown it on the roof of the bus . " Mr . Henry said it was clear tUat < Jefendanthad committed ft gross imprudence , and one which might have led to dangerous consequences . On the charge of reckless driving he should tine £ 3 , and for not having his badge displayed £ 2 , or one month ' s imprisonment .
WESTMINSTER . —Shocking Accident . —\ Vm . George James , an omnibus driver , was charged with running over an old gentleman , whereby his life is placed in imminent danger . It appeared from the evidence adduced , that on Saturday evening defendant ' s ( a Pimlico ) omnibus entered the Broud Sanctuary , from Tothill-street , when , observing a Westminster omnibus passing the law courts from Abingdon-sfcreet , he whipped his horses and increased hia pace , as it seemed to turn the corner near Parliament-street the same time as the Other driver , and after passing King-street atruckanold gentleman named Robert Jakeinan , who was crossing the road , and tho pole having knocked him down , two of the wheels passed over
his throat and jaw . He was immediately conveyed to tbe Westminster Hospital , and defendant , after rendering what assistance ho could at tbe moment , pursued his Journey , but subsequently finding , in consequence of the serions condition of the unfortunate sufferer , that the police had inquired for him . immediately surrendered himself . In the course of cross-examination by Mr . Lewis , who attended on behalf of the defendant , the witnesses , who all stated that he had lessened his pace at tbe time of tho accident , differed in their account of the speed at which he was driving at that moment ; it , however , appeared to be very moderate , as the constable , whose evidence was stronger than the other witnesses , would not take upon himself to
swear that he was exceeding the rate of six miles an hour . It was further elicited , by Mr . Lewis , that the unfortunate sufferer wa 8 eighty-four years of age , and extremely feeble . In reply to the charge , Mr . Lewis submitted that there was no culpable negligence on the part of his client , who waa driving so steadily at the time that a gentleman had given his address , and expressed his willingness to come forward to prove that he was not to blame . He thought those should be censured who permitted an old gentleman who was so feebk to c 6 me out alone . It was purely an accident , arising out of his infirm condition . —Mr . Morgan , an inspector of the B division , produced a certificate , stating that
the unfortunate man was in considerable danger , and said it was questionable whether he would BUrvive the day . Mr . Burrell observed that the road wa 9 very wide at the spot where the accident had occurred , and any person crossing could be plainly seen by an attentive driver . The evidence went clearly to show that he had whipped his horses , and it would appear that another object was attracting hia notice at the time . It did not follow that because a man was advanced in years and feeble that he was to be run over ; and it wae impossible to say what might be the result of the injuries , he must call upon the defendant to find bail to appear again next Monday . Bail wa 9

N ., whose residence is at Wrotham , Kent , but who is now on the Continent , was charged with cruelly ill treating one of his master ' s horses , and also violently assaulting the police in the execution of their duty . — Police constable John "Wheble , 300 It , deposed that on the previous evening , at a quarter before six o ' clock , whilst he was on duty iti the Lee-road , he saw a great crowd of persons assembled in front of the Tiger ' s Head-inn . On going towards them he saw the prisoner mounted on horseback and moat unmercifully flogging the animftl on the flaukB with a stout whip . On remonstrating with him , but to no purpose , he
( witness ) took hold of tbe bridle and ordered him to dismount . This he refused to do in the most infuriato manner , saying " You b - i'ji learn you to touch my horse . " Ho then ' commenced beating the animal over the head with tho butt end of his whip , and a \ Bo him ( witness ) over the arms , which compelled him to let go the reins The prisoner then dismounted , and he ( witness ) assisted by a brother officer took him into custody and conveyed him to the station , and the unfbrl tunate beast to the green yard . The horse was at this time bleeding much from a wound inflcted under one of his eyes , and the marks of laceration under the flanks were plainly visible . The prisoner had been drinking , but knew perfectly well What he wag about , —A g entleman namprt nhnrloa
Wslden , of Coburg-road , Old Kent-road , having cori'oborated this witness ' s evidence , the prisoner in defence , called Charles Needham , the coachman of Captain Lane , whose evidence , however , was only to the effect , that he bad known the prisoner but a short tirae .-Jlr . Traill ( the m agistrate ) said a more atrocious case had never been brought before him , and ho was very glad that by a recent act he was empowered for such mUconrtvict anu other offences to inflict imprisonment without directing the payment of a pecuniary penalty and in the present case he felt himself ful fy ¦ Hffiedfo srsifiyfir i * ° moffi " "

Manchester , July 8 . —Cotton yarn has givea Way to tllO extent of Jd to | d per B ) . in price , with only a moderate extent of business doing . The main cause of the aeolino is the continued indisposition of buyers to give out orders at last quotations , believing that from the stato of tho cotton market and the abundant supply of the raw material , they can secure more favourable terms . Both spinners anil manufacturers have for several weeks past had n greater margin to tuvn . upon , than for along tima
past , hnd have been able to support prices notwithstanding the decline of cotton from being well engaged to order . As presrnt contracts fall out . however , they find a difficulty in renewing them except at a reduction approximating to that in thft l ' aw material , and tho stand mafle by buyers to-day both for the home trade and export , has been more effective than hitherto .
