HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , May 24 . The House went into committee on the Customs ' Acts ( Tariff ) and Mr . Miles brought forward a defined proposition with reference to his motion © f lastnfght ; that in lieu of a dmy of £ 1 per head on cattle , there should be levied 5 s . 6 d . per cwt . Sir Robert Peel c ^ uld not consent to the proposition . He had uo fear whatever of any injury arising from an importation of fat cattle under the pToposed Government duty , and the importation of lean cattle wouhi 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 trom the Ca ^ iadas , be equal to the import duty from other foreign countries ,
Sir Robert Peel could not agree to the proposition . Mr . Charles Buller declared that though the tar ; ff was not , the greatest free trade measuro ever proposed in the House , it would , if carried , bo 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 somewhat desultory debate now arose , shared in by various members , Lord Howick , Sir Robert Peel , Mr . Labouchere , Lord John Russell , and others , in which tiie inconsistency of the
Government was commented on , in applying different principles to the trades in corn and cattle . Amongst the speaker-f was Lord Sandou , who vindicated the Government , oa ihe 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 au'd indignantly on the legislation of the House , and deolared that the people of Lancashire were siukiug into an apathetic state , produced by the appalling and unparalleled ) condition in which they were placed . Mr . Turner wound up this diiicussion by deprecating delay in passing the tiriff ; after which , Major Vivian ' s amendment was withdrawn .
Mr . Smith O'Urien proposed , that on the article , "' swine and hoK * , " instead of the uniform duty of five shilling : , there should be left a blank , to be'filled up afterwards in soilo way so as to afford moro adequate protection . The amendment was supported by Mr . Miles ; but on a division it was rejected by 121 to 32 . The Chairman' then proceeded , proposing successively the Different items of the tariff . At tho article "fish , " some debate arose as to the proposed duty on lobsters , it being alleged that _ it would operate injuriously to the interests of individuals engaged in a precarious trado , without any corresponding advantage . Sir Robert Peel agreed to reserve the matter for further consideration .
Tho rest of tho evening was occupied in discussing different items , when , - at the article of " fruit , " a division took place on the proposed duty of 0 'd . a bushel on arp ' oo , Mr . Wakle / moving that the present duty ot five per cent , should continue . The amendment was negatived by 110 to 51 . The Ciluj-jian reported progress , and the House resumed . The other orders of th . 0 day were then disposed of . The House adjourned at half-past one .
Wednesday , Map 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 cwt . 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 lots of revenue . Heremarked it as inconsistent with tho anti-difforential doctrines advanced on a former evening by Lord Howick , that Noble Lord , is now proposing to alter ihe . duty on foieign butter , should himself have made a difference bit ween the foreign and the colonial article . Lord Howick pleaded , that he was obliged to propose , not what ho most wished , but what he had tho btst chance of carrying .
Some of tha country gentlemen represented the necessity of keeping up tho protection of the small dairymen . Mr . C . Bullkr 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 trado against Sir Robert Peel himself . The Committee divided , sustaining fhe 20 s . duty . Some discussion then followed respecting tho duty on cheese , which it was proposed by Mr . Jil . Philips to reduce from the 10 s . 6 d . proposed on the tariff to 7 s . 6 d .
Mr , L-iBoyciiERE referred to a . Cheshire newspaper , in which the high 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 Committece , that the decision of Government had been taken upon considerations of revenue , before the county members had brought in any application whatever . Messrs . Hums , Cobden , Wakley , and Warp , inveighed again 3 t tho 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 tho protection of cheese , on a mere comparative question between 7 s . 6 d . and 10 » . 6 d .
Sir R . Pkel regardfd the preceding speech as a strong illustration of the d-ifficuUy of his task . Mr . Jervis was making an exception in favour of cheese , as being member for Chester ; and thus it was tint each man thwarted the Government measures in the particular matter than touched his own constituents . This showed how necessary it was , instead of dividing on these singlt ; items , to take the tariff as a whole ; and he believed the wisest thing the House could do would be to pass the eutiro measure that very night . The Committee , on a division , negatived Mr . Philips ' s amendment . Mr , Palmer , of Es ? es , moved to raise the proposed duty upon onions from 6 d . to Is . ; per bushel . ! Mr . Gladstone resisted this , as unreasonable in amount and uunecessary for revenue .
Mr . Palxiek retrained from pressing his amendment to a division ; but moved to raise tho duty on potatoes from 2 d . per cwt , to a shilling . And this , he desired , not lor the take 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 the agriculturists 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 oa : ? , of oats upon potatoes ; but the consumer of potatoes could fall back upon nothing . Still the ordinary importation of them was greatly checked by their bulk aud the consequent dearness of freight ; .
Mr . Wakley said Mr . Gladstone was mistaken if he supposed there would not be a very extensive importation of potatoes . Tho 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 . Tne schedule of dutiu . s upon Jood having been disposed of , the schedulis renting to spices , seeds , and wood were paf 3 ed without opposition ; and the Committee then came to the schedule affecting minerals on which Mr . Turner raised a long discussion in reference to the m ning interests of Cornwall .
Mr . Gladstone replied , and refuted somt rather extraordinary statements with which Mr . Turner had 6 urpised 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 smelting the metal ; and was followed by ¦ ¦ ' " - ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦•¦ ¦ ¦ . . ¦ . . ; - ¦ ¦ Sir C . Lemon , who supported the view taken by Mr . Turner . Mr . Labouchebe and Mr . Charles Bullkr were in favour of the Government measure , and several of the Cornish Members haviDg 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 upon which were agreed to without scarcely any discussion , after whica an adjournment took place .

of the labouring classes , until a wise Government shall bo legislate as to bring its powers within the scope of such regulations as will amply provide and furnish protection for those whoso labour it supersedes ; and that we consider a wise Government can never ba constituted , or good regulations made , while the present system of class legislation continues to exist . And , morf over , this meeting feels conyinced that the majority of those who head the anti-Corn Law movement are mon Ayho supported or fornied a part of the late detestable Whig Ministry , and who now agitate this question to bring themselves apain into office , and retard tho progress of Chartism .

A SCENE IN A JUSTICE ROOM . . In another page we have given a report of the examination of a policeman at the Court liouse , 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 p lace . Thompson said he came to assist Storey to haiidcuff Sanderson , asd although betwixt the two he nev # r saw or heard Storey strike with his staff * On hearing this , Mr . Musgrave ( evidently in great warmth ) roso from his seat and questioned Thompeon on this point , but ahvaya roooived the same answer ; whereupon ; Mr . Musgrave ( addressing Thompson ) said , " Any thing you may say after that , I shall not believe . " Mr . Bond—Did you eea the man struck ? - * Thompson— I did not , sir . ' % :
Mr . Musgrave—Did you see any blood on his head ?—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 anything he has to say afterthat . " - " ¦ " ¦ ' . . - . . ¦ ¦' , . /¦ . ; ¦;¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . - ' - . . ; ' . . >; " / Mr .

' " ¦¦ : ¦' - .. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' - ¦ :. / "' / -:. - : . ¦' . '¦ ' : ¦ '' ¦' .
Mr . Musgrave—When the man states he was between them , and the man must have Rtruck 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 , and I must eay I have no respect for any © ne who does so . —Mr . Musgrave : You may say so if you like . . '¦ . -, Mr . Bond . —Yes . I dp 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 public will judge it . —Mr . Musgrave ' :. f hope thi publio will judge it . I am not judging 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 , and you should not believe it , I should not 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 . Mupgrave—My remaiks applied to this man ' s evidence ; I have not prejudged the case . Mr . Boud —Pray don't take me for a fool , for that is what it amounts to . I mnst be allowed to use some discretion . ¦ .. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' - . ' .. - ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ -. ¦¦ ¦ ' ¦' . ' . ¦; '¦' . " ¦ ¦ . ' : ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦' / Mr . Masgrave 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 mo to call a witness after you say you cannot believe him .
Mr . Musgrave— -Mr . Bond , remember it is only on sufiferance that you are here at all . Mr . Bond—I have a right , Sir , to behere ^ < Mr . Musgrave—Ydu havo no right to examine wUnesses only through sufferance . Mr . Bond-Yes I have , and if you don ' t know the law let me tell it you . ' - Mr . Lofthou ? e , the magistrates' clerk s here spoke with Mr . Musgrave . Mr . Musgrave—It seems Mr . Bond j you have a right .
but——Mr . Bond—Yes , and I thought you had been long enough a justice to have known that . Mr . Musgraver-You are very insolent , Mr ; Bond Mr . Bond—I am no hypqerite , Sir ; I don't profess respect for any one when I don ' t feel it . Mr . Hall—These altercations are quite newto 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 ocoasion 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 .

Leeds Cobn Mahbet , Tuesdat , May 24 th . . The supply of Wheat to this day's Market is larger than last week , other kinds of Grain much / the same . Good fresh Wheat has been Is . per qri higher , - bat no improvement in the secondary and chamber'd sorts ; Barley little alteration . Pats , Shelling , and Beans have beea full as well Bold . Leeds Cloth Markets , —There has bee n arather improved demand for goods at both the Cloth Halls during the week , in consequence of which a : fair share of business has been transacted , more particularly in fine goods ; prices , with this demand , have not improved ; though a general feeling prevails that an improved tbne pervades the market . In the warehouses , ' also , more business has been transacted . The Wool markets are without alteration .
HcnPERSFIELD MARKET , T 0 ESDAY , MAY 24 : ^ -Ia the opinion of some there was a little improvement manifest in our Hall this day ; but we are afraid it was so trifling as to ha-scarcely felt . No general improvement is seen either in the town or neighbourhood . .: ;¦ : ¦ . , ¦¦ ¦ ;¦; . ¦ ¦ ¦/ : ¦ ¦ '_ . ¦ - ' . ^ ' : ¦ ¦ - ¦ .. . ' ¦ " - ¦ ¦' ,-Brapfobd ^ ^ Market , May 26 . — Wool . —The trade in Wool , though not increased since our last , tends to- 'indicate a degree of steadiness , from the convictionthat no further falling in prices may be expected , and the spinners operate with greater confidence ,
except in Hogs , which are still neglected , owing to the continued substitution of Cotton Warps . —Yarn —We are glad to learn that more toquiries are making for Yarns . The general opinion is , that they have seen their lowest point , and we hope in our next to be able to give intimation of more extended operations . ——Piecd . —— Nothing worthy of moment has occurred since our last report . There is a steady business in Merinos , Orleans , Figures , &c . ; the manufacturers complain that pr ces are so unsatisfactory , that ; in many instances the ; cannot cover the cost price .
York Corn Market , May 21 . —Wheat continues in moderate supply , and our farmers are as ^ iug a greater advance than millers , in the present state of the Flour trade , are disposed to give , and we cauuut quote the article more than Is . perqr . dearer . Oats are in demand , and id per stone higher ; Boaus fully as dear . Barley nominal . Fiour has beea advanced 35 . per sack . \ : ; Rochdale Flannel Market , May 23 . —We have not had so many merchants in the market today , but some of the manufacturers , have pnrchased rather freely ; upon the whole there have not been so many goods sold as on the preceding Monday . There is no change in prices . There is not much doing in the
wool market . Prices remain steady . ' Ma-schesxer Corn Market . Saturday , Mat 21 , —Notwithstanding that business is at all eimea very much interrupted by the holydays customary afc AVhitsuntide , a steady demand has been experieticcd for English Flour , and , as the stocks itt warehouse are nearly exhausted ^ a clearance of fresh parcels was effected to consumers , on arrival , at improvinof prices . For Oatmeal , likewise , there was a very fair inquiry , ar id the sales made were at rates which could not have been realised last week . A decline
in the duty on foreign Wheat of Is . per or . does iiot 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 W , per 70 lbs . generally demanded . On Flour we raise our quotations 6 d . per sack , and ohoice 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 benoted . - - : .
Liveepool Corn Market , Monday , May 23 . — The arrivals of British Grain , Fiour and Oatmeal , into this port since this day se ' nnight , are of very small amount ; from abroad there are reported 20 , 310 quarters of Wheat s and 65 L barrels of Flour .

Throughout the week there has been a fair demand for free Wheat for consumption , and prices have advanced fally 4 d ., per bushel Flour , too , upon a moderate sale , must be noted 6 d , a barrel dearer . Fine mealing Oats have . again become scarce , and all qualities tire held for Id . per
bushel above our previous rates . Theje have beeo several orders forOatmeal for reshipmenfcy to Ireland on which holders have demanded high prices : 273 . to 27 s . 61 . per load has been paid for good masks of Irish manufacture . Barley , Beans and Peas , remain unaltered in value , each moving in retail ., The transactions in bonded Wheat have been numerous , and at eulianced rates . They comprise sales of Wolgast at 7 s , 6 d . ; Griefswold at 7 s . 6 d ., per 70 lbs . delivered here ; fine Polish Odessa at 7 s . 6 d ., cpnimon Odessa at Si . 9 d . ; Stettin 83 . to ; 8 s . id , in store ; Ancona at 50 a . per qr ., o ^ st and freight included . 100 ( i birrels of superior Western Canal Flout have changed hands in bond at 30 s . per brl . ;
Mark-lane , Monday , May 23 . —There was only a moderate supply of Wheat froia . jEssex , Kent , and Suffolk this morning , and a limited quantity of Barley , Beans , and Peas from all thesa counties , witha short fresh arrival of English and Saotch Oat 9 , bat seven or eight vessels were in this morning from Ireland , with Oats , the wind having be « n very favourable for their arrival . Slight rains have fallen since this day week m and near the metrpolis , but in many distant counties there have been copious aad 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 qrV on last week ' s prices , with a fair steady sale for
free foreign , an improvement of ls . per qr . on all heavy qualities , and bonded was for Is . to 2 s . per qr . more money , which was complied with in some few instances for choice heavy lots . Ship Flour was Is . per tack dearer , and prime marks were in fair request . Barley was without alteration in value , grinding samples being saleable at full prices . Malt was . fully as dear , prime seasoa-made meetinii a tolerably good demand . Beans and Peas realized last week ' s currency , with a moderate inquiry for both aricles . There was a fair steady business transacted in Oats , prime heavy Corn being the turn dearer , and other sorts ; wer ' "held- more ^^ firmly pt quits as much money . Linseed and Rapeseed ' bring high prices for small quantities of choice quality .
State op Tkade . —Manchester , —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 wtiich presented themselFes the preceding week , would be in some degree realised , or the market would relapse into that state of gloom , depression , and gradual declension ot prices , which had 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 turther attempts to beat down prices ; aad spinners arid manufacturers , who were willing to accept the rates previously current , were generally enabled to tranaact business with facility . For Bome articles , '
however , and more particularly for forty inch shirtiuga , aad for power-loom printing cloth , the manufacturers were not disposed to accept previous rates ; and some business was dono at au advance of about l ^ d . per piece oh the quotations of a fortnight ago . On the whole-, the tone of the market - yias more * acouraging than for some time past ; and a geaeral feeling appeared to prevail , that bothv goods and yarns had seen their lowest point ior some time to come ; and that , unless the market should be too suddenly glutted by an increase of proddction , there would speedily be such an improvement in prices as would enable the spinners and manufacturers to carry on their basines 3 without sustaining the serious losses which thpy have previously been compellefl to incur . —Manchester Guardian of Wednesday

State of the Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There cannot be saidto be any material improvement in any branch of the hosiery manufactures . - Silk ( Efloves 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 syBtom has entered Bulwell ; the charges made in this branch for frame rent , slur-clocks , and a variety of other such 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-kaotted branch is also in a most depressed condition , and the recent decease of the " father of that trade , " we fear , will not" much amend its prospects , as he was indefatigable in scraping up orders . The firtcy 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 litnited 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 learh , lace is beginning to be worn in great profusioa in tho higher circles , particularly in ornamenting caps and bonnets .
Murder of a Son bv his ; Father . —An inquest was held at North Gollingham Notliii ^ hamshife , on the 23 d May instant , before P . B . Falfcner , Esq ., Coroner , over the body of Mr . George liawonh , wno was a respectable currier , aged between thirty , and forty years . He jived with his father , but the latter had never spoken to him for upwards of two years . The deceaseil , on Saturday last , had put his horse into a cart , and was ready to start to Newark , When a neighbour , Mr ? . Gilbert , called , and requested him to wait , five minutes whilst she fetched a basket , whioh she wished him to take to Newark . She was not absent more than five minutes , and , not seeing him in the yard on her return , went into the house , when , she found him in an inner room , jn a state of great suffering , and scarcely able to speak , with blood flowing profusely from one of his ears . at the back of which be had received a violent bloW ;
His father , who is a shoemakor , was sitting in the same room at his work , quite indifferent and unconcerned , a . nd offered no assistance , and evinced no sympathy for 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 iiv tho evening . The father at first denied any knowJedge of the injury ; bat afterwards confessed he had -inflicted it witii a thick bar of wood , with which the outer door of the house was fastened , but alleged that his Son had provoked him to ik 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 ihe head . The 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 .
