HUTCHINGS, Esq. | J. ROLLS, Esq JAMES ROGERS, H Clerk of the Races. NUMBER ONE, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, LONDON TEAS. AS we are now celebrated in the metropolis for supplying Good and Pure leas, and in order that the advantages we hold out may be equally appreciated in the country, we feel called upon to prove the following very important facts, VIZ. fhat the higher priced leas are ihecheapest, and that the worst trash of leas imported into this kingdom, are not retailed in London, but find their way into the country, and so into the lea-pot of the country consumer. With respect to the importation of Tea, it should be univer. sally known, and always borne in mind, that the expense of bringing Tea over from China, and the duty, (namely 2s. 2|d. per pound) payable to our .Government on its arrival here; are the same on all descriptions, whether good or bad consequen y the purity and goodness of Teas depend on the prices first paid for them when purchased in China from the growers. It is necessary therefore, that all should be aware thai in this country the acility of Tea increases more than the advance of cou y the qt y tjfy as for instance—the tea costing in S 1°° £ ,'SS»'« «•J-J*?»"• »" pound, and the expense of carnage, profit, &c., is added) cannot be sold here Under 4s. 6d. per pound is evidently lvv.ee as Good as that costing in China Is which when the duty, &c., is added cannot be sold here under 3s 6d. per pound, so that whilst'the price increases only about one-louith, the Tea becomes twice as good in quality- Having now made it manifest that the fine or higher prices Teas are the cheapest, we will direct attention to the following hlet as corroborative of the statement that the vilest rubbish' foisted on the public as "Tea" has been, to an incredible extent, veiiied in the country. iietween January 1st, 1S43, and June, 1844, there have been sold, at the Tea Auctions, in Mincing Lane, at piices varying from one penny to sixpence per pound, 3,417 950 pounds of trash, dignified by the name of Tea," which, after passing through various hands, nas at length found the country its prin- cipal channel of consumption. No one at all conversant with the sanitary piopettiesof the Tea-Plant, its beneficial effects when good, and its pernicious oosequences when bad, can fail to be struck with the iricalcu- able injury to health that must have resulted from the known ^consumption of the above. To prevent a grievance so truly deplorable in its consequences las that now pointed out, we have resolved to supply direct from USiUMBER ONE, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, our jgood and pure Teas, at an unparrelled smallness of profit, .a.ndthi!}wiUenab!e those residing at a distance from London, jto prrcjire the best quality of Tea^ at very near the same prices whey are now paying for the worst, and so afford them all the atn the direct source of supply. • To carry this into effect, so as to be most advantageous and ost convenient, we shall be happy to put up the Tea lor those nailies who may unite together in favouring us with an order tnost convenient, we shall be happy to put up the Tea for those nparcels containing any quantity they may desire, and if re- tired,the orders ot shopkeepers will be packed in cases contain- g two ounces and so 011 to a pound upwards. » COFFEES. As we are those on whom the honour devolved of carrying out be philanthropic measures of Government, in the recent lie- uction of the Duties on Coffee, we are determined to maintain nequalled our character for the combination of excellence and leapness in that article, and thus fulfil the observation of the hancellor of the Exchequer, who, in his financial statement uring the last session, announcing a further REDUCTION of he DUTY to 6d. per pound, said It is most important to xtend the use of a beverage which is a great luxury to all asses, and which, in addition, is found to supersede other be- et.-ages detrimental to health.. We would now draw attention to the prices of a few Teas and (Coffees that we can confidently recommend for general consump- full flavoured Black Tea at is. per lb. | Our full Pekoe and Souchong flavoured leu at 4s. id. per lb., f11 Cur finest true rich Congou at 4S. 6d. per lb.,whichis an old fashioned fine Tea, such as the East India Company used to bung j All these Teas will give great and and I Cofees mellow in ripeness and richness of fla jfc.

As no orders can be attended to unless accompanied by t respectable reference or remittance, we would suggest that pay- ment be made in the following manner: —when the goods do not amount to more than £ 5. in value, by post-office order, when exceeding that sum, bv half-notes, or banker's order.

AT each announcement made to the Public by MONS* LE DRAY and CO., their gratification is highly increased, as they are continually receiving from their extensive connection undeniable assurances of satisfaction and approval. In render- ing acknowledgments for the patronage received from their friends among the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and inhabitants of Monmouthshire, North and South Wales, as well as the adjacent counties, they cannot refrain from expressing their implicit con- hdence in a continuance of the recommendations and fsvouis cf their patrons being fully determined to continue those facilities, which have hitherto produced so much benefit and comfort to those requiring their professional aid MONS LE DRAY and CO. ma" be consulted as usual at heir Residence, 27, PARK STREET, where they continue t restore Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum. so highly recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and the Continent, and of which they are the sole inventors. It is introduced into the cavity in an almost liquid state, without the least pain, and in a few seconds hardens into enamel preventing and curing the I'ooth-ache. arresting to progress of further decay—thereby obviating the necessity of extraction The Marmoratum not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful Tooth, calcutated for all its original purposes, but by completely stopping up the cavity, removes ih ,t unpleasant taint of the breath which invariably arises from decay or the teeth. There is no disease to which the mouth is liable more de. structive than Scurvy in the Gums the loss of Teeth is more to be attributed to it than any other cause, for it is the primary source of decay in them. On its first appearance the Gums bleed on the most trifling occasion, be -ome spongy, and lose that firm texture they have in a healthy STATE, causing the breath to be offensive and repulsive to every one under its in- fluence, besides other evils repugnant to a sensitive and refined mind. It mustbe a source of extreme gratification to those thus af flinted to be assured that Mons. Le Dray can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, and without the least pain. Mons.

Tns patient had been discharged from Gun's Hospital, withtut deriving the least benefit from, that Institution. jt RS. FRY.residine at No, 3">, Oaf il^ar-street, Wal worth t.1. London, was some time since adnmied as an In-door pa- tient at Guv's Hospital, uith a bad leg of five years' standing. The flesh of the leg was in many places nearly as hard as bone, it resembled in appearance the truuss of an old tree, being in knots and lumps it was preatly swollen, and had Nine Fright- ful Ulcers in it; she derived no benefit whatever at the Hospital, and returned to her home. Her case was so bad, that for three years she was canied up and down stairs every day like a child, being perfectly helpless. She w is in tnis deplorable state, when she commenced the use of Molluway Ointment & Pills. which in the course of about three Months, performed a perfect cuie, when every other means proved unavailing. A MAN'S FACE PREVENTED FRCtt BUNG FATEN AWAY. By Cancerous Sore s, by means of Holloway's Ointment § Pills., JAMES WEBB, a brewer's drayman, residing in Robin Hood Court, Leather Lane, Holborn, London, had alargeliole, which went through his cheek, aco severdl other ulcers, which were on both sides of his face, ea ing all the flesh from it. He had been an in-door patient in Charing Cross Hospital, for six months, without being able to get a cure. He expected that no thing could stive his life, until he was advised as a last resource. to use 1 loiloway's Ointment and P.Us, which immediately stayed the ravages of this terrib'e complaint, and ultimately healed all the Cancerous Sores, and with the exception of frightful marks in his face, he is as well as ever he was. A CASE OF LOATHSOME SKTN DISEASE, Attended with dreadful swellings of the whole body, that had re- sisted the treatment of nearly alt the Hospitals of London, cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. A child, five yeais of age, named JONE", whose father is a shoe-maker, living at No. 4, Horse Shoe, Alley, Wilj>on-street, Finsbury, had been afflictet, from th* ige of 16 months,with fear- ful and dreadful swellings all over her body, which used to affect her periodically at suct. times her face would change its color, and remain perfectly black; her body was always covered with large malignant sores. For this unknown complaint, the child was taken by her mother to nearly all the Hospitals in London and :nost of the surgeons of eminence; none appeared to under- stand her disease, and shegottio better from their treatment. As a forlorn hope, Holloway's Ointment and Pills were tried, which not only gave relief, but completely eradicated the dis- ease-frcini stem, sry i h «i res'. Jir d tp erfect health, and not the least vestige cf tfee^Pmer complaint remain#. In all Diseases of the skin, bad leis, old ulcers, bad breasts, sore nipples, stony and ulcerated caucers, tumours swellings, gout, rheumatism, and !umh;ago, likewise in case of piles; the pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with, the ointment; as bv this means cures will lIe etffcted with much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using The ointment is proved to be a cer- tain remedy for the bite of the iMoschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiego- fool, Yaws, and Coco-bay. Burns, scalds, chilblains, chapped hands, and lips, also bunions, and soft corns, will be irr.inediatfcly cured by the use of the ointment. The Pills are not only the finest remedy known when used with the ointment, but as a general medicine there is nothing equal to them. In nervous affections they will be found of the greatest sevice.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PORTUGAL. We have intelligence from Lisbon of the 21st instant. Elec- tioneering affairs were proceeding alter a Peninsular fashion— bringing representatives of government into disrepute, making its privilege a delusion, its forms a cover for despotism, and the aggressions of government on the rights it confers the cause of commotions, the plautible pietexi for popular excesses, and for discredit on the character of constitutional government. We find prelates converted into the electioneering agents of Minis- ters, writing pastorals to the upper officers of police in their dio. ceses, instructing them hOw to secure the priests aod the par sh regedores. Other agency, of a more persuasive kind, was in .ogue at Almeida, the use of the Cacete, the bludgeon loaded with iron at the ends, which was first introduced in the good old times of Dora Miguel. But not the least extraordinary change of political taclics is that of tlie leaders of opposition. The buying up of sergeants and corporals, and making a revolt or a revolutiou to effect a change of ministry, have been ahandoned for the employment of moral fore, and th-i apostle of the new doctrine. Seoor Passos, has proclaimed at Alcoblça that from that time forward the sys- tem of Mr. O'Counell was established by the opposition in Per. lUgrfl. The railway proposals of Mr. Clegg and General Bacon were likely to be accepted. ALBANIA. A letter from Trieste, of the 14th instant, contains the follow- ing account of an insurrection in Albania — "The insurrection of the Montenegrins and the mountaineers of .Ttkeva ( Albania) still continues. The laller, to the number of a,non, conveyed their WI-es, children, and flocks into the val. ttyot the Bellaj?, which is surrounded hy inacce^sihle moun. tains, and then oivided themselves into bands, in order to attuck the Seraskier, without, coming to a general engagement. The Turkish commander has, it is said. met with such a vigurous re- sistance that he has sent for a reinforcement of 3,000 men from the Pacha ofScuiari. Advices from Regosa state that a Turkish squadron, composed of a frigate, a schooner, five brigs, and several •ransnorts, had anchored in the port of Durazzo (Albania) on the 261h JILe, The appearance of this force has given rise to va. rious conjectures. According to some it is (iestined to asqisl the Seraskier. while others state it is intended to embark Albanian troops for Syria and Tripoli in Barbary. Letters Agran (Croatia), state that the Austrian troops had been ordered to march towards the I urkiMi frontier, where some distil:bances had tuken place, and an irruption had been made on the Austrian leiritory." GREECE. Accounts have been received from Athens to the 10:h instant. Rsbbt-riesnnd assassinations in all parts of the country appear io be daily ioLteasing, and the government is utterly uni ble to- put them down. 1\1. de Petsali, the father of the celebra'ed advocate of that name, has been assassinated at his country resi- dence at Negropont, while walking on the terrace of his cwn house, and talking to some peasants who have land on his pt0. perty.' The out rage was committed at eight o'clock in tbe even- ing. A gun was discharged at him, and several balls were lodged in his body. The assassins escaped. The house of the receiver-general at Chalcis has been broken open by a regularly "reanised band of robbers, who succeeded in carrying away 47,000 drachmas of the public money. Some of the robbers luve been taken, and are to be brought to trial. The papers are full of accounts of similar outrages. TAHITI. By the arrival of the steamer Peru, from Valparaiso, on the 23rd instant, we are put in possession of news of an unpleasant nature from Tlthlti, which has been brought to Valparaiso by the British barque Simlali, and a French frigate, which sailed from Tahiti on the 23rd of February. The particulars are con- fined in a paragraph from the Lima Commercio, of which the fol. lowing is « translation :—" Io the Oceane of the 23rd ot Februaiy we notice that there have been some differences between the authorities of Papeite and the captain of the British corvette I Talbot. The cause cf these difference, was the refusal of ihe commander of the Talbot (Captain Sir T. Thompson) to fire a double salute of twenty one guns-one to the French thg, and the other to the Bag of the protectorate in conse. quence of which the French authorities in the island would not permit the corvette to communicate with the land, until that con. dition was complied with. The Talbot consequently set sail for the Sandwich Islands, carrying away General Miller the British consul-general for the islands of »he Pacific. The Salamander, steamer, however, remained at Papeite. Queen Pomare re- mained in Rataiea with some Tahitian chiefs, having returned to the regent appointed by the French in Tahiti the flag of the pro. tectorate which, having been hoisted at Raiatea, was struck by her ,nd her fotio.ers. Neither the Commercio nor our correspondent distinctly states ;he fact; but we presume that General Miller was on board Hie Talbot, on his way to Tahiti, for the purpose of assuming his I consular fuctions there; and that the refusal of the French autho- rities to allow to him communicate with the shoreswas resorted to for the purpose of preventing him from landing.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CRIM CON. TYRONE—OMAGH, Jutr 22. The important case of Robarts v. Herdman, was triedthilchy1 before Chief Justice Peonefather and a special jary. Mr. Curry opeoed the pleadings. The damages were laid at £ 5 000. Mr. Major, Q.C., stated the case. The defendant was a cap live of Belfast, his victim was a native of the ichnd of Malta, and his client had first seen her in that island., tÿ 1840, the plainttff belonged to the Mediterranean squadron, WON attached to the Alectio steamer, and became acquainted with his wife during the time the squadron was cruising off Malta. The pUintiff married Miss Concetta Petit, a native of MaHa, on the 28th November, 1840, in the chapel of the Roman Catholic p,test of Dominique, in the island of Malta. The clergyman wits performed the ceremony wculd be produced as a witness. The defendant was engagect in mercantile pursuits, and was a member of a wealthy firm at Belfast, known as Mulhollaod and Co., who.became owners of a very extensive manufactory, called the Stoo Miiis, near Strabane, in this county. He came there about six or seven years ago, as a resident partner and manager. He occupied a cottage adjoining the factory, and was then, and is now, husband of an amiable and excellent woman, and father of an investing family. On coming to the neighbourhood, he untied himself with persons engaged in objects of charity, and assisted in the education of the humbler classes, being even os- teniatious in his conduct so much so, that he himself expounded the Bible in public. He made children the object of his especial attention, and it is deeply to be lamented that the character he then acquired becartnc instrumental in the ruin of an unfortunate and misguided woman. At the time he first met Mrs. Roberts, she could not have been more than twenty years of age, and was an ariless, captivatiag, and interesting woman. The learned counsel then proceeded to detail the circumstances which led to the acquaintance of the parties. The plattiff became Lieut. of the Daphne f.igate, which, after returning from atteoding her Maje>ty to Scotland, was ordered to the South American station September. 1842. In consequence, it was arrana«d that Mrs. Robe.'s should reside with Air- Moody, wife of the 0' surgeon of the Daphne, at Ston Mills, during the abseoce of j their husbands. Mr. Moody had been a resident at this cottage for two years-Dr. Moody had resided there forseveial months -and during that period lVIr. and Mrs. Herdman had never once visi'ed them. Mrd. Herdman first visited them about six weeks after Mrs. Roberts' arrival, but did that visit proceed from mere feelings of kindness 1 Mr. Herdman had, doubtless, sent her to pay that visit, and thus made his wife the innocent and un- suspicious instrument in the carrying out of his evil designs. They (the gentlemen of the jury) would be surprised how so good a man could think of making his wife the instrument of his vieandtniqutious schemes, but the fact was too evident. This visit was paid early in Jan. 1843, and wasjnot returned for nearly six weeks. On that occasion Mr. Herdman is found in his own house, to receive his victim, and he prosecuted his schemes from that moment with untiring eneigy. Mrs. Herdman invited bctli ladies to n soireé, which was to be held a few days after, in the factory, for the entertainment of the childreo working there. Mrs Moody declined going, and pleaded the excuse of dfclicste health, she being near her confinement. Mrs. Roberts seeing no impropriety, accepted the invitation-attended the soiree, which took place in the middle of March-and remained on a visit at. Mr. Herdman's for a period of eight or ten days after. It was during that time that Mr. Herdman succeeded in under- mining the morals, and implanting the seeds of vice in the mind of this utilor u i £ te woman. On the evening of the day in which she returned to Mrs. Moody's cottage, she was driven by Mr. Herdman in his gig. Mrs. Moody was in a field adjoining the houiie, and, observing the gig advancing, she returned to the cottage to receive them. She waited in the house for a much longer time than it would have required for them to arrive, and being surprised at their delay, she made inquiry, and found that they had not come by the direct toad, but had taken a circuitous route by the village of JCJaudy. On their arrival, after an ab- sence of about an hour, Mrs. Moody invited Mr. Herdman to walk in, and during his stay she was surprised that the conver- sation between him and Mrs. Roberts was carried on in Italian, which, however, was subseqeotly explained to her by Mrs. Ro. berts, to whom she spoke on the subject. He (Mr. Major) thought it most strange that, at a subsequent period, a letter should come into the possession of Mrs. Moody, written by Mr. Herdman to Mrs. Roberts about this time, when their acquain. tance had not exceeded a period of two months. At that time he had not only succeeded in effecting his iaiyitani designs, but had undermined her religious feelings, destroyed her morals, and had presumed to address her in the most immodest and de- praved language. The learned counsel here read fiom the letter as follow, :— Manv thanks, my lady, for your note of the 26th I cannot express my dearest Concetta, how pleasing everything from thee is. I am very «orry that I cannot tell you, in your own language, bow much I love you, and bow thankful I am for your love. I hope to receive a long lttter from thee, and to see tbee to-morrow morning at a quarter to twelve. After church come and dine at our house, and Mrs. M. can send for you at nine in the evening my wife intends inviting thee. She also desires to have thee with us for a month, when the lady will he ill-would not this be delightful to thee and to me. You will laugh, without doubt, when yon read my elegant Italian —nothing but tny love can induce me to do such 1 foolish thing. I hope, my own, that thou wilt forgive my blunders. I cannot eat; bast thou any more appetite? I hope so. I love thee, my deaiest Concetta. I cannot tell why—can'st thou 1 When thon art iu my bouse I fear that I cannot but the pleasure alone of having thee with me is sufficient. I am sorry, dearest, that thou bad'st so little • I shall ever remember that evening as long as I live. I send thee, to- day, the second volume of Boccacio-thou uiay'st send me the first by the bearer of this letter. I hope, my dearest Concetta, to find thee in good health to-morrow morning—keep up, always hope, aud a good heart. Your ladies make a great noise in eating-this is disagreeable to me, and to you also, without doubt. I don't like the manners of the young lady-they are not mild, like the manners of my sweetest friend. Good bye, my Concetta, until to-morrow. JAN US. Saturday." Mr. Herdman continued his invitations to Mrs. Roberts, who became an occasional guest at his house, and up to this time Mrs. Herdman's or Mrs. Moody's suspicions had not been excited. About the 13'h of May, another letter was addressed by Mr. Herdman to Mrs. Roberts. The letter was as follows DKAR MADAM,—Mrs. Smyth, of Gallony, has asked us to spend the ev euina with her, at seven o'clock. She would be much obliged if you COI lid be there (at Gallony) at seven o'clock. It is only a mile from roti r house, and Mrs. M. can send her car with you.

Do not send me either the hook or your own dear letter, and send soch an answe.r to this note as can be shown to Elizabeth. Bring your own letter with you this evening. In hopes of seeing you this evening, I remain, jours, "JAMES." "On seeomt thoughts, you may send me your letter and the book, but write something in answer to this, so worded that it may be shewn. JAMES." The visit propused was paid, and Mrs. Roberts returned from Galiooy 100 Mr.Herdman's, without any suspicions being aroused. Mrs. Roberts again went to Mr. Heidman's during the time of Mrs. Moody's confinement, and remained theie until her reco- very. During M/s Roberts absence from Mrs. Moody's, re- ports began to be circulated, and it was said that Mrs. Roberts had been driven by Mr. Herdman to Derry, introduced to several friends there, and amongst the rest to Bartkowski. teacher 01 languages. When Mrs. Moody heard of this, she immediately wiote to Mrs. Roberts to come home, and she returned accord- ingly, in a djy or two after. Mrs. Moody then communicated her suspicions to Mrs. Roberts, who at first repudiated them strongly, but ultimately confessed all to Mrs. Moody, and told her, io the most unequivocal teims, what had taken place between Mr. Herdman and herself. Mrs. Moody then made the following representation, by ieiter, to Mr. Herdman :— '•SIR,—My unhappy and nufortnnate friend, Mrs. Roberts, has just put me in possession of the base advantages you have taken or her. I had hoped, iadeed. you would have acted far ditfeienllv. As I am aboat io communicate the matter to Mr. Kuberts, through Mr. Moody,you had better take what steps you may think necessary. Mrs. Roberts will, In all probability, leave this bouse to-morrow. F. MOODY." When this Itiier was delivered tp Mr. Herdman, he answered he would wait upon them in the evening. In pursuance, he called about six o'clock in the evening, and upon being shown into the room where Mrs. Moody was sitting, he said, "I admit mytell guilty of the charge you have brought against me, and aeknow. ledge the viilany of my conduct." He then made a proposition to Mrs. Moody—"can't we conceal it from her husband t She indignantly refused, and ss.td she would take the promptest measures to communicate it to Mr. Roberts. Mrs. Moody then told Mr. Herdman that Mrs. Roberts was pregnant; he said he had some doubts about that, but if it was 10 he was bound to support the child. Mrs. Roberts left Mrs. Moody s house, and in tiie month of May, 1844, gave birth to a child. ^Jer brother soon after cstne over and removed her to Malta. Mrs. Moody communicated the matter to Dr. Moody, and he informed Mr. Roberts, who was at this time changed to the Alfred I: iga e, on the coa.ii of South America. The first witness called was the Rev. Francis lener, Roroen C-thoiie priest, who deposed to having married the plaintiff and bli,; Petit, in Malta.. /u L Benjamin Roberts, lieutenant in the Davy (brother of the plainlltf), Mrs. Moody, and other wloesses. were examined, and cor. r..crated the principal facts stated by Mr. Major, in °PM'rD Q C., addressed the jury for the defendant. He contended that Mr. He.dman had been more Otted agamstttan sinning." The counsel for the defendant had letters of Mrs Roberts worse than any which had proceeded from Mr. Herdman, and she was the first to open the cotrespondence, which had been only followed up by him. Chief Justice Pennefather charged the jury, who then retired, and soun after found a verdict for the plaintiff, £ 1,000. damages and costs.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, JCLY 24. Earl Bathurst read the special report of the committee on tbO Dublin and Galway Railway Bill, iatimiting that systematic fraud and many gross irregularities had bten resorted to by the promoters of the scheme. 1 he Earl of Besborough then intimated that he woold to- morrow move that the bill be not proceeded with during the pre. sent session. v Lord Brougham then reverted to the cue of privilege raised by the reported attack of Mr. Fitzstephen French on himself, Finding that Mr. French had apologised, and retracted what- ever might have given pain, he recommended that beir lord- ships should proceed no farther. This, however, did not debar him from his remedy at law against the Morning Chronicle and the limes, in both which papers the report had appeared. The Morning Chronicle, by way, as is supposed, of mending the matter, had, that morning, while giving him credit for perform- ing a public benefit, charged him with having prejudged the question, as to the merits of the scheme. Now, tor anything these slanderers knew. he might be an advocate of the bill. He was not a member of the committee on the bill: the only {tart—, he had taken was as a member of the committee which AjSH ,*> been appointed to inquire into the allegations of fraud mm forgery. 'VSV">->- After a few words from the Earl of Wicklow, the matter dropped. Lord Brougham moved an address to the Crown, praying that means might be taken to enable their lordships to be accomodated in the new House of Parliament by next session. Lord Wharncliffe did not think that any advantage would be gained by hurrying their lordships into the new house before the oCommons' Chamber was completed. Amongst other diaad- vantages, they would be surrounded by workmen, the noise f whose operations would prove a serious inconvenience. The Duke of Wellington also reminded their lordships that it was necessary that a convenient communication should be kept up between the two houses, on such occasions as the opening or the prorogation of Parliament by her Majesty, and so forth. After a brief debate, shared in by Lord Campbell and the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Brougham's motion was rejected by 40 to 16. COMMONS ENCLOSURE BILL. Lord Stanley, in movim; the second reading of this bill shortly stated its objects, and expressed a hope that late as it was in the session, looking to the full investigation the subject had undergone elsewhere, and to the difficulty of passing a bill of one hundred and fifty clauses through the other house, amidst the mass of other business, their lordships would assent to the second reading, and not render it necessary to renew in another session a measure which had been so fully discussed. Earl Fitzbardinge expressed his regret that the bill should have been introduced so late in the session. He did not say that the till was without value but there were defects and objections in its details which ought to receive the consideration of the house, and he wished particutarty to direct their lordships' at. tention to the 151st clause, giving retrospective powers to the commissioners to re-open any former award, and alter any allot. ment, the lapse of time being no bar to their proceedings. A great deal of injustice might result from such a power, and he hoped the subject would receive special attention in committee. He thought, moreover, that the bill ought to be referred to a « lect committee. Lord Stanley explained that although the commissioners were to be clothed with the power the noble earl had pointed out, yet 't could not be exercised without the consent of three-foartns in value or number, of the parties interested. Earl Fitzhardinge inquired if the bill could not be Hifuwd to a select committee ? Lord Stanley feared that at this late period of the aeepiaa he could not consent to the wish of the noble earl, but he wmM be happy to confer with the noble earl privately, when, pertaipI." might be able to remove bis objections. The bill was then read a second time. 4 The other business was of a routine nature. FRIDAY. JITLV 25. The House sat for some time, and got through a deal oi bust- ness, but nothing transpired which calls for notice in our mafy.

HOUSE OF COMMONS- -.jflifti THultSDAlf, JULY M. The house met at twelve o'clock, and transacted a considerable amount of miscellaneous business, including the second reading of the Stock in Trade Bill, and the carrying through ('onu. of the Slave Trade Brazil Bill. Tbe latter measure raised « dis- cussion, Mr. Milner Gibson protesting against the policy of the government, on the double ground of iu aggravating the evils of the slave trade, and injuring our commerce aod trade. Sir'Robert Peel defended the government from the ImpatasioM thrown on them and after some debate, shaied in by Lotd merston, the house went into committee on the bill, f&ffetMMflL subsequently reported. FRIDAY, JULY 25. The house lIlet at twelve o'clock, and got through a great deal of business by Mt one o'clock, when an adjournment took place until five.

JUVENILE BRUTALITY.—SrAFFoitD AsMZM.-Pa<nck Cou- oiffe, aged 16, and Jlmea Murray, aged 12, were indicted for wounding Ann Dickenson at Tettenhall, on 18th April, with intent to kill and murder her, or to maim, disfigure, or do her some grievous bodily harm and aiso in aDother couDt,with eteal. iog gown and °'h«•'«>« thet property of Thos. Woodward Mr. Corbett prosecuted, and Mr. Y.rdley defended the precoci- ous ruffians in this extraordinary case, of which the following is a condensation of the facts :-Oo the day in question, Ann Dickenson, a young woman, servant to Mr. Woodward, was up stairs cleaning, when she heard tbe dog b.,k about 12 o'clock «Dd going two prisoners in the back kitchen'. Conniffe bad a bundle in hu hand and a hama..r,which h,d been previously hanging up in the back kitchen. He said •• Do vou want to buy anything V and before she could make a reply he .truck her twice on the head with the hammer. He then Mid Let's tie her legs and she wont get away upon which the prisoners took her apron from her, tied her legs together with it at;d left ber lying on the floor. Some time after, a neighbour wetit to the house to take home a newspaper, and no one coming to the door on her repeated knocking, she went into the house and fuund the poor girl lying on the floor in a pool of blood: which was-fl«wing from a wound in her head. She was in a state of insensibiMy. The neighbours wtre alarmed; she was taken up stairs to bed, and a surgeon sent for. The prisoners, who had been in the neighbourhood during the day, offering smuggled goods for sale, were apprehended the same afternoon, taken 10 Mr. Woodward s, and identified by the victim of their brutality. When Couniffe was taken, he said, Is any one killed 1" The policeman replied, A person ha. been almost killed." The prisoner said, Then I suppose you take me for that, but 1 don't know anything about it." The surgeon deposed that the wounds were extremely dangerous. He attended her for a fort- might. The prisoners had tumbled a chest of drawers about up stairs, and several things were taken away. Mr. Yardley then addressed the jory^ in a very able speech, and the prisoners, strange to aay, received gaod characters for humanity; and Mr. Chidley, bead turnkey, laId ihat during the Dioeteeo years he had been in the gaol, he had nevtr known more exemplary cha- racters. Mr. Justice Patteson, ii^he course of a most minute summing up, observed that a woft act of wanton brutality he had never met with io a court of justice. The jury retarded a verdict of not guilty as regarded Munay, and found the other prisoner guilty of as assault only, acquitting him of the whole felony. Couniffe said, I am innocent ot all of it; I was neves there at all." The Judge How can you have the audacity to stand there and tell such a falsehood 1 The jury have taken a too lenient view of your case, and I will not abate one moment of the full punishment I am empowered to inflict." The prisoner was semeoced to two yeats' baid labour, and Murrav was given up to his distressed mother, with a feeling admenitioa from the judge. The case excited extreme interest, and the court waa crowded to exces3. MELANCHOLY AcCtMUT.—WALU, SHETLAND, JULY lZ,- We experienced a severe gale here on Friday the 4th inst., from S.S.E.

OXFORD, YVORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY BILL, AND OXFORD AND RUGBY BILL.—The contest before the Lords' committee on this bill has terminated, as it did in the Commons, iP » victory in favour of the broad gauge. The op- position made out II. very strong case, and it was thought in the early part of the week that the decision of the committee would have been adverse to the psssingof these bills during the present session, but on Thursday, after some clauses to remove objections had been introduced, the chairman of the committee, the Earl ot Auckland, declared that the committee had resolved on reporting to the house that the preamble of both billa bad been proved.
