The House went into committee on the Customs ' Acts ( Tariff ) and Mr . Miles brought forward a defined proposition with reference to his motion « f last night ; that in lieu of a duty of £ 1 per head on cattle , there should be levied 53 . 6 d . per owt . Sir Robert Peel c ^ uld not consent to the proposition . He had no fear whatever of any injury arising from an importation of fat cattle under the proposed Government duty , and the importation of lean cattle would be a positive advantage to the agriculturalists themselves . Some talk followed , and on a division , the amendment of Mr . Miles was rejected by 209 to 44 . Major Vivian moved thai the duty on cattle , meat , and other provisions mentioned in the tariff , imported from the Canadas , be equal to the import duty from other foreign countries ,
Sir . Robert Peel could not agree to the proposition . Mr . Chables Bulleb deolared that though the tariff was not the greatest free trade measure ever proposed in the House , it would , if carried , be the greatest which this country ever obtained . Though opposed to differential duties , he yet could calm the fears of Major Vivian as to any overwhelming importation of cattle or provisions by way of the Canadas . A Bomewhat desultory debate now arose , shared in by various members , Lord Howick , Sir Robert Pee ] , Mr . Labouchere , Lord John Kussell , and
others , in which the inconsistency of the Government was commented on , in applying different principles to the trades in corn and cattle . Amongst the speakers was Lord Sandon , who vindicated the Government , on the ground that foreign corn could be imported in unlimited quantities , while the supply of cattle was limited . This called up Mr . Cobden , who spoke warmly and indignantly on the legislation of the House , and declared that the people of Lancashire were sinking into an apathetic state , produced by the appalling and unparalleled condition in which they were placed .
Mr . Turner wound up this discussion by deprecating delay in passing the tariff ; after which , Major Vivian ' s amendment was withdrawn . Mr . Smith O'Brien proposed , that on the article , "' swine and hogs , " instead of the uniform duty of five shillings , there should be left a blank , to be filled up afterwards in some way so as to afford more adequate protection . The amendment was supported by Mr . Miles ; but on a division it was rejeoted by 121 to 32 . The Chairman then proceeded , proposing successively the different items of the tariff . At the article " fiah , " some debate arose as to the _ proposed duty on lobsters , it being alleged that it would operate injuriously to the intereste of individuals engaged in a precarious trade , without any corresponding advantage . Sir Robert Peel agreed to reserve the matter for further consideration .
The rest of the evening was occupied in discussing different items , when , at the article of " fruit , " a division took place on the proposed duty of 6 d . a bushel on applea , Mr . Wakley moving that the present duty of five per cent , should continue . The amendment was negatived by 110 to 51 . The Chairman reported progress , and the House resumed . The other orders of the day were then disposed of . The House adjourned at half-past one . Wednesday , May 24 . The House proceeded with the tariff in committee . Lord Howick proposed ^ that the import duty on foreign butter should be reduced from 20 s . per owt . to 10 s ., leaving the duty on colonial butter at 5 s ., as imposed in the tariff .
Sir R . Peel objected to this reduction , which , he said , would work a serious loss of revenue . He remarked it as inconsistent with the anti-differential doctrines advanced on a former evening by Lord Howick , that Noble Lord , is now proposing to alter the duty on foreign butter , should himself have made a difference between the foreign and the colonial article . Lord Howick pleaded , that he was obliged to propose , not what he most wished , but what he had the best chance of carrying . Some of the country gentlemen represented the necessity of keeping up the protection of the small dairymen . Mr . C . Buller thought it much more important to provide cheap food for the poor population .
Lord John Russell was resolved to take this opportunity of supporting Sir R . Peel ' s general principles of free trade against Sir Robert Peel himself . The Committee divided , sustaining the 20 s . duty . Some discussion then followed respecting thoduty on cheese , which it was proposed by Mr . M . Philips to reduce from the 103 . 6 d . proposed on the tariff to 7 s . 6 d . Mr , Labouchere referred to a Cheshire newspaper , in which the hi « h rate of duty preserved in the tariff on this article was ascribed to the influential exertions of the county members with the Government . Sir R . Peel assured the Committeee , that the decision of Government had been taken upon considerations of revenue , before the county members had brought in any application whatever .
Messrs . Hume , Cobden , Wakley , and Ward , inveighed against the agricultural party , who , they said , resisted the relief of the starving people , for the sake of their own rents . Mr . Jervis , though generally favourable to free trade , would support the protection of cheese , on a mere comparative question between 7 s . 6 d . and 10 s . 6 d . Sir R . Peel regarded the preceding speech as a stroug illustration of the difiBculty of his task . Mr . Jervis was making an exception in favour of cheese ^ as being member for Chester ; and thus it . was that each man thwarted the Government measures in the particular matter that touched his own constituents . This showed how necessary it was , instead of dividing on these single items , to take the tariff as a whole ; and he believed the wisest thing the House could do would be to pass the entire measure that very night . . ¦ '
.. The Committee , on a division , negatived Mr . Philipa ' s amendment . Mr , Palmer , of Essex , moved to raise the proposed duty upon onions from 6 d . to . Is . per bushel . Mr . Gladstone resisted this , as unreasonable in amount and unnecessary for revenue . Mr . Palmer refrained from pressing hia amendment to a division ; but moved to raise the duty on potatoes from 2 d . per cwt . to a shilling . And this he desired , not for the sake of rents , but in order to keep the country independent of foreigners for this great article of food . The Ministers , before their accession to office , had held out expectations of full protection to agriculture ; and tke agriculturista were not to be blamed if they now required the fulfilment of that pledge .
Mr . Gladstone represented the great importance of providing for the importation of potatoes in time of scarcity . The consumer of wheat could fall back on oats , of oats upon potatoes ; but the consumer of potatoes could fall back npon nothing . Still the ordinary importation of them v ? a 8 greatly checked by their bulk and the consequent dearness of freight . Mr . Wasxey said Mr . Gladstone was mistaken if he ' supposed there would not be a very extensive importation of potatoes . The admission of them was one of the best points in this tariff , and would even have great effect in reducing the price of bread . Mr . Escott opposed Mr . Palmer ' s motion , and said that the farmers of England did not desire to keep up the price of food . The amendment was withdrawn .
The schedule of duties npon food having been diBposed of , the schedules re l ating to spices , seeds , and wood were passed without opposition ; and the Committee then came to the schedule affecting minerals on which Mr . Turner raised a long discussion in reference to the mining interests of Cornwall . Mr . Gladstone replied , and refuted some rather extraordinary statements with which Mr . Turner had surpised the House . He explained the peculiar advantages which it was expected the adoption of the proposed rate of duty would confer upon those engaged in Bmelting the metal ; and was followed by Sir C . Lemon , who supported the view taken by Mr . Turner .
Mr . Laboucherb and Mr . Chables Bclleii were in favour of the Government measure , and several of the Cornish Members having each said a few words , the House divided , seven members only voting with Mr . Turner . The Committee then proceeded with the other descriptions of ores , the proposed changes in the duties npon which were agreed to without scarcely any discussion , after which an adjournment took place .

UEEDS DISTKIGT .-Tho usual monthly meeting of this district was held in the Association R oom , Woodhottse , on Sunday morning , May 22 . Delegates were present from Leeds , Holbeck , Annley , Wortley , Woodhouse , Morley , Churwell , and Hunslet . The accounts received from the different delegates were yery satisfactory . Chartism is making rapid progress in this locality , not only in an increase of numbers , but in a thorough knowledge of our principles . The Charter has been very extensively read and circulated ; and the - muchabused People ' s Petition has been also widely distributed ; and " trashy" as it . is said to be , it has converted many to a right way of thinking . Upon the whole , we may say we occupy a proud position in
this part of the country : indeed , all other political parties have sunk into insignificance before the good sense , straightforward action , and determination of the good men and true . After the local business of a pecuniary and . directory nature had been concluded , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to by the meeting : —1 st . 'Mhat the best thanks of this meeting are eminently due , and hereby given , to the members of the late Convention , for their zealous and stTaightforward conduct \ and for the important services they hare rendered to the cause of democracy in this country . " 2 nd . "That the thanks of this meeting are due , and accordingly given , to Messrs . Duncombe and Leader , for the noble and independent services they have rendered the people of this country , in
presenting and supporting the '• National Petition of the Industrious Classes , ' in the Commons' House of Parliament . " 3 rd . " That a copy of the last resolution be transmitted to both of the Hon . Gentlemen , with the delegates' names attached . " After a considerable quantity of business had been disposed of , making this , upon the whole , the most important meeting that has yet been held in this district , it was agreed to hold a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough on the 26 th of June , in the Vicar ' s Croft , Leeds , for the purpose of adopting the " Remonstrance '' to the Commons , and "Memorial" to the Qaeen , as recommended by the Convention , and the delegates hope the members of the AsBoci&tion will give this all the publicity in their power . Toe meeting was then adjourned till the third Sunday in June .

Brook made an able appeal to the meeting on the distress which the working classes of this country were now enduring , and showed that this distress was not local , not confined to one particular class , but extended itself to every branch of manufacturing industry . This the lecturer traced to its true source , class legislation . — - At the conclusion of the lecture , five new members were enrolled . A vote of thanks to the lecturer and ohairman was given , when the meeting separated .

He next explained ; the principal features of the great demonstration which was made in the metropolis , the manner of forming the procession in
Lincoln ' s Inn Fields , and the great difficulty they had in making head-way for the petition , and the members of the Convention . He stated that so great vrere the numbers assembled , that it took an hour and a half before they had quitted the place of assembly , and that there was not a single place where any person could stand and witness the procession . He next gave a vivid description of the approach of the Petition to the doors of the House of Commons , and of its getting jammed fast in the door-way . Mrv Philp then adverted to the proceedings of that and the following day , and spoke for two hours . This speech was replete with sound argument and good sense , and in conclusion he made an appeal to the meeting to come forward and join the National Charter Association . Several new members were enrolled . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer and the chairman , Trhon tbo mooting oopnjcttietl .

The Anti-Corn Law League again . —It having ; been announced by public placard that Sidney Smith would deliver a lecture on machinery as connected with the Corn Laws , on Wednesday evening , at the Red Cross Tavern , Hare-street , Bethnal Green , the Chartists of that locality being practically acquainted with this subject , made it , their business to attend , and politely requested the lecturer to allow of discussion , or to reply at the close to such questions as they might put to him connected with the subject of his lecture ; these fair conditions , this one-sided declaimer positively declined accepting ; upon which the lads decided that they could dispense with Sydney ' s services , and almost unanimously called Mr . J . Shaw to the chair , Sydney making his exit . Mr . Mantze in a very able manner moved the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion of . this meeting that machinery must ever work detrimentally to the interests
of the labouring classes , until a wise Government shall so legislate as to bring its powers within the scope of such regulations as will amply provide and famish protection for those whose labour it supersedes ; and that we consider a wise Government can never be constituted , or good regulations made , while the present system of class legislation continues to exist . And , moreover , this meeting feels convinced that the majority of those who head the anti-Corn Law movement are men who supported or formed a part of the late detestable Whig Ministry , and who now agitate this question to bring themselves a ^ ain into office , and retard the progress of Chartism . " This was seconded by Mr . Treadwell , arid supported in a manner which drew down great applause from the assembly by Mr ; Frazier . The resolution was carried unanimously , and the meeting broke up , with three chers for the Northern Starifor Feargus O'Connor , and the Charter .

" The resolution was seconded by Mr . 'Gibson Cockcroft . Mr . Wm . Fielderi moved the next resolution , which was , " That in the opinion of this meeting , that principle of the Bill which takes away the right of the

Manghesteh Corn Market . Saturday , May 21 . —Notwithstanding that business is at all times very much interrupted by the holydays customary at Whitsuntide , a steady demand has been experienced for English Flour , and , as the stocks in warehouse are nearly exhausted , a clearance of fresh parcels was effected to consumers , on arrival , at improving prices . For Oatmeal , likewise , there was a vety fair inquiry , and the sales made were at rates whioh could not have been realised last week . A decline in . the duty on foreign Wheat of Is . per qr . does noi
appear to have had any effect otherwise than to enhance its value in bond ; the quantity entered for home consumption is limited in extent . There was much firmness exhibited by the holders of Wheat at our market this morning , and an advance of 3 d . to 4 d . per 70 lbs . generally demanded . On Flour we raise our quotations 6 d . per sack , arid choice qualities of Oatmeal realized an improvement of 6 d . per load . —Oats may likewise be noted Id . per 45 lbs . dearer , but in the value of other articles no alteration can be noted . ¦ ' ¦ ' - " : ¦ '¦ ' ¦ " ¦' : ¦ - > : ' - \ u I
Mark-lane , Monday , May 23 . —There was only a moderate supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk this morning , and a limited quantity of Barley , Beans , and Peas from all these counties , witha short fresh arrival of English and Sootch Oats , but seven or eight vessels were in this morning from Ireland , with Oats , the wind having been very favourable for their arrivals Slight rains have fallen since this day week in and near the metrpolis , but in inany distant counties there have been copious arid lasting showers , which appear to have fallen very opportunely . There was again a good demand for fresh-thrashed wheats at an advace of Is . to 2 s . per qr . on last week's prices , with a fair steady sale for free foreign , an improvement of Is . per qr . on all

Malt was fully as dear , prime season-made meeting a tolerably good demand . Beans and Peas realized last week ' s currency , with a moderate inquiry for both articles . There was a fair steady business transacted in Oats , prime heavy Corn being the turn dearer , and other sortB were held more firmly for quite as much money . Linseed and Rapeseed bring nigh prices for small quantities of choioo quality .
State of Trade . —Manchestek . —The result of the market yeterday was looked for with considerable anxiety by nearly all parties connected with the trade of this district—with the view of ascertaining whether the favourable appearances whioh presented themselves the preceding week , would be in some degree realised , or the market would relapse into that state of gloom , depression , and gradual declension of prices ; which bad marked its condition during the whole of the present year . We are glad to state , that , upon the whole , the result of yesterday ' s business was favourable ; there . was no farther attempts to beat down prices ; and spinners and manufacturers , who were willing to accept the rates previously current , were generally enabled to transact business with facility . For some articles ,
however , and more particularly for forty-inch shirtings , arid for power-loom printing cloth , the manufacturers werenof disposed to accept previous rates ; and some business was done at an advance of about l ^ d . per piece on the quotations of a fortnight ago . On the whole , the tone of the market was more encouraging than for some time past ; and a general feeling appeared to prevail , ' that both goods and yarns had seen their lowest point for some time to come ; and that , unless the market should be too suddenly glutted by an increase of production , there would speedily be such an improvement in prices as would enable the spinners and manufacturers to carry on their business without sustaining the serious losses which they have previously been compelled to incur . —Manchester Guardian of Wednesday

State of the Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There cannot be said to be any material improvement in any branch of the hosiery manufactures . ; Silkgloves may be ; a shade better , but not to the extent 'to nearly employ the . -hands . The cotton glove branch is dull ; and sorry we are to hear , that the truck system has ; entered Bui well ; the charges made in this branch for frame rent , slur-clocks , and a variety
of other 8 uch impositions ^ are a frightful drawback upon the wages , and make the situation of the operative bad indeed . The silk hose branch is in the same depressed state that it has been in for some years . The silk-knotted branch is also in a most depressed condition , and the recent deoease of the "father of that trade , " we fear , will not much amend its prospects , as he W » s indefatigable in scraping up orders . The fancy hose trade , though extremely flat , is yet the most stable of all the branches . The drawer , pantaloon , and shirt branch is still in the same feverish state—extremely limited in its employment . The bobbin-net trade is in a most unsettled state in England . The warp lace trade is somewhat better ^ and from what we can learn , lace is beginning to be worn in great profusion in the higher circles , particularly in ornamenting caps and bonnets .
Murder of a Son by his Father—An inqaest was held at North Collingham , Nottinghamshire , on the 23 d May instant , before P . R . Falkner , Esq ., Coroner , over the body of Mr . deorge Rawbrth , who was a respectable currier , aged between thirty and forty years . He lived with his father , but the latter had never spoken to him for upwards of two yearB . The deceased , on Saturday last , bad pnt his horse into a cart , and was ready to start to Newark , when a neighbour , MrB , Gilbert , called , and requested him to wait five minutes whilst she fetched a basket , which she wished him to take to Newark . She was not absent more than five minutes , arid , not seeing him in the yard on her return , went into the house , when she found him in an inner room , in a state of great Buffering , and scarcely able to speak , with blood flowing profusely from one of his ears , at the back of which he had received a violent blow . His father , who is a shoemaker , was sitting in the
Same room at his work , quite indifferent and unconcerned , and offered no assistance , arid evinced no sympathy tor his son . A medical man was sent for , and soon after arrived , and found the deceased rapidly sinking and insensible , in which state he continued till his death in the evening . The father at first denied any knowledge Of the iujury , b » t afterwards confessed he had inflicted it with a thick bar of wood , with which the outer door of the house was fastened , but alleged that his son had provoked him to it . On opening the head it was found that the skull was extensively fractured at the back of the ear , and that the deceased had also received three or four other violent contusions on the head . Tiie Jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder , " against the father , who was committed by the Coroner to the County Gaol , to take his trial at the next Assizes . *

A SCENE IN A JUSTICE ROOM . In another page we have given a report of the examination of a policeman at the Court House , on a charge of assault . Mr . Musgrave was one of the Justices present , and during the examination of a witness named Thompson , called by Mr . Bond , a scene quite novel for a Court of Justice took place . Thompson said be came to assist Storey to handcuff Sanderson , and although betwixt the two he nev ^ r saw or heard Storey strike with his staff . On hearing this , Mr . Musgrave ( evidently in great warmth ) rose from his seat and questioned Thomp-Bon on this point , out always received the same answer , whereupon Mr . Musgrave ( addressing Thompson ) saidj" Any thing you may say after that , I shall not believe . " Mr . Bond—Did you see the man struck ?—Thompson—I did not , sir .
Mr . Musgrave—Did you see any blood on his head 1—Thompson—Blood came down upon my arm , but I did not see the blow struck . Mr . Musgrave—The man states he was between them , and yet did not see the blow struck . It is impossible ; I cannot believe any thing he has to say after ' that . . . ' ' ' ¦ ' / .. -.. :.- - ¦ : ' u . ' . r ¦ .- / ' Mr . Bond—I must say this is something new to me ; I never before heard judgment given from the Bench before a case was closed , and I hop * I never shall again .
Mr . Musgrave—^ When the man states he was between them , and the man must have struck ia front , it is impossible for him to be so struck with a truncheon without his seeing it done ; and when I hear a man come and make such a statement ; , I cannot ia my conscience believe anything he says . Mr . Bond . —You are quite at liberty to do that , but to give judgment before a case is closed is what I never before heard . Anything more indecent I never heard before , arid I must Bay I have no respect for any one who does so . — -Mr . Musgrave : You may say so if you like . Mr . Bond . —Yes , I do say so , and in the face of the country . Anything more indecent I never heard ; to pass judgment in the middle of a case is unprecedented , and the country and the pttblio will judge it . —Mr . Musgraye : f hope the publio will judge it . I am not judginK the case , only this man ' s evidence .
Mr . Bond . —That is worse ; that is passing judgment upon a piece of a case . If I were to call a regiment of soldiers , and they all swore to it , arid you should not believe it , I should riot wonder ; After the other witnesses for the defence had been examined , Mr . Musgrave suggested to Mr . Bond to recal Thompson . Mr * Bond declined , alleging that the case had been prejudged by one justice , so far as this man ' s evidence was concerned . Mr . Musgraye—My remaiks applied to this man's eyiderice ; I have riot prejudged the case . Mr . Bond —Pray don ' t take me for a fool , for that is what it amounts to . I mnst be allowed to use some discretion . ' ' ¦ -. . ., ;• - . ¦ \ . : : ¦ ' : ' - ¦ ' . ¦ .. ; ' ' ¦ ¦ : ;¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; . ; Mr . Musgrave reiterated that he had not said anything about the case ; his remarks applied solely to Thompson ' s evidence . Mr . Bond—Take the witness to be a liar if you like , but don't take me to be a fool , and ask ma to call a witness after you say you cannot believe him .
Mr . Musgrave—Mr . Bond , remember it is only on sufferance that you are here at all . Mr . Bond—I have a right . Sir , to be here . ; Mr . Musgrave—You have no tight to examine witnesses only through sufferance . Mr . Bond' — Yes I have , and if you don't know the law let me tell it you . Mr . Lofthouse , the magistrates' clerk , here spoke with Mr . Musgrave . . Mr . Musgrave—It seems Mr . Bond , you have a right , but —^ ,
Mr . Bond—Yea , and I thought you had been long enough a justice to have known that . Mr . Muagrave— -You are very insolent , Mr . Bond . Mr . Bond—I am no hypocrite , Sir ; I don't profess respect for any one when I don't feel it . . Mr . Hall—These altercations are quite new to me . Mr . Holdforth—It would ; be better that these explanations should take place after ; they are Very indecorous here . Mr . Bond said he had never had oooasion to make such remarks before , and no one had any reason to complain of him for any want of respect towards their authority . The subject then dropped .
