National Politics—Dispate in Parliameut Over the Collision ef the Bombay and Oneida— ir. Rebeceon, Secretary of the American Navy, Hauled Over the Coale—The Tories Accuse Mr. Gladstone of Being Afraid of the United States—Sharp Sparring in the Cowmons. Lonvow, Joly 7, 1870, Parliament has devoted a night to the discussion of the Bombay and Oneida case, which has caused such @ sensation in America. There was quite a Hvely debate over the question, in the course of which some hard hits were given and taken. Brother Jonathan, of course, came in for his share of attention, and the utterances of Mr. Robeson, Secretary of the American Navy, were, as was to be expected, criticised at some length, Mr, Hanbury ‘Tracy, a young liberal of obscure pretensions, opened the bail in a set speech, which he had care- fully prepared and written out for the occasion, He aay be said to have held a brief for Captain Eyre, the commander of the English steamer Bombay, for ‘his address from beginning to end was an elaborate defence of that gentleman, and a protest against the treatment which he had received from the Board of Trade. He opened up the whole matter by moving— ‘That, in the opinion of this House, there is nothing ‘In the evideuce taken by the Naval Court of Inquiry, or in the correspondence which has been laid before ‘Parlajnent, to justify the severe reprimand adminis- tered by the Board ‘of Trade to Captain Eyre, and hae further inquiry into Lis conduct ought to be ‘made. ‘There was a very fall attendance of members, and ‘the deepest interest was manifested in the proceed- Ings, because it was felt that the question was an in- ternational one, affecting the honor of the nation and the relations of England with the United States. Mr. Gladstone, the Board of Trade oMclals and the Whole of the Cabiuet Ministers were present, and instructions were issued to the whip to take precau- Mons against the carrying of the motion, which, in ihe Prener’s estimation, would have seriously com- promised (ircat Britain with the authorit.es at Wash- ington. Mr. Tracy had no reason to complain of want of dnverest, for every one in tue assemblage listened With the deepest attention and elt that the gravest maiters were ut stake. He admitted that the Ameri- cay people, who were smarting under the loss of one ©f their men-ol-war and upwards of a hundred of Aheir citizens, deserved every sympathy and condo- dence which could be given to them. He did not at- tempt to deny Vial they had great cause of com- piaint and that the Secretary of the American Navy had done rightin haying the disaster investi; wut rtested iat the United States authorities wad d their demands too fax, that thelr grievance | Was exaggerated and that they had attempted to in- Maiue popular teeing at Washington and elsewhere unreasonably, His argument Was that the cause of the collision was solely due to the negligence and dnexperience of the Cummander of the American ship Onelda, aud that the Board of Trade bad acted in a unfair way towards Captain Eyre in not only Suspending his certificate ior six months, but 10 censuring him ior uihumauity. He maintained that the Englisi capiain bad shown no inhumanity whatever, and tuat he bad acted precisely as some of the highest oficers in the English service said they would have acted under the circumstance Captain Eyre tn his opinion bad done alt he could Avold the collision, and after the shock he had re- mitined ten or fiiteen minutes on the spot to see if he could render any assistance. The American ship Oneida, however, instead of calling out Tor assistance pr betraying auy token of being in distress had sailed rizht on, and the English captam naturally took it tor granted that she was unmjured, That ius at all eveuls was the opinion of the midship- man wno commanded the Oneida could not, he thought, Le doubted, because the American omicer Yates distinctly stated that his commander culied to hun tumedately after the collision and asked him whether the ship was safe. Receiving an assurance that she was “quite sale,” the young American had then said, “All ght | Set tne fore- Lopsail and proceed on your course.” He held that vhing went to prove that Captain Byre had all he could, and ne asked the House to re- verse the decisi . the Board of Trade, which de- rision ceusaced Captain Eyre for inhumanity and Buspended his certificate for six months, therepy throwing an irreparable stigma upon his character. ‘Phe old tories cheered Mr. ‘Tracy at those parts of his speech where he threw blame upon the Amer! can commander and censured Mr. Robeson for de- manding too much reparauion, He received no encouragement, however, from the Muverais, who uimost to a man concurred iu agreeing that Captain yre had acied wrongly and that the Board of Trade ud Only done justice to the wounded feelings or the Americans in recoraing tacit official censure of his conduct, Bir.

His sympathy for the Americans under tue keenness of the disaster which Jad betailen thelr countrymen was expressed in the ‘warmest terms, and he did not wonder that in their sorrow for the loss of 112 0: their relatives they suould ave spoken out somewhat strongly upoa the subject. The liberals cheered him very loudly, and over and over again testified by their spplause To the honesty their feeling towards the United Btates. They seemed, m fact, to have tossed vheir own countrymen overboard and to have reserved | all their sympathy tor their cousins on the other side ofthe Adanuc. Un behalf of the Board of Trade Mr. Lefevre gave the following narrative of the case, Sruich, 1 Will be seen, teils against Captain Eyre:— ‘The Bombay and the Oneida came into collision twelve niles from Youohama, both ruoniog at the time about elght | Knols an hour, Boinbay siriking the Oneida at an angie wor forty-five degrees iu the main chains.

The Liuen Trade with New York. {From the Glasgow Herald, Juty 6.) Acorrespondent of the Dundee Advertiser, writ- ing under date Belfast (Ireland), Saturday evening, observes:— Frequent a!insion has been made in these reports to the large consignments of linen goods tu New York ana the practice of forciug them off the mar- Ket by auctlo i sales. A very important case con- nected with the American trade has just been tried in Dublin, the platntitts being Messrs. Girdwood & Yo,, Old Park Print Works, Beliast, and the defend. ers Messrs. Todhunter & Co., New York, Goods to the value of abont £5,000, without any advances being obtained thereon, were shipped from time to tUme by the plaintiits t0 the defendants, for sale at New York, with the understanding that at least in- voice prices should be realized. Afier some time the consiguers, without any me epg Bape) the ioe pers, Sent a parcel of the goods to be sold by public auction at New Orleans, the goods being very un- suitable for that place, and also sold # parcel by auction in New York, the result of which sales was aloss of about twenty-tive per cent. ‘She question at issue Was whether the defendants could exercise unlimited control of sale over goo‘ls consigued to them and dispose of them in any way and in any place they considered best, without reference to the juterests and instructions of the owners. A verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for £200 and costs will establish tho principle that ownership does not pass with Lhe mere possession of goods to the consignees, and that tn the disposal thereot strict reference must be nad to the wishes and fustrucuons of princtpals. ‘The sacrifictag of goods by auction sale at New York has resulted in serious losses aud embarrassment to many persons here; and this trial, 1tis to be hoped, will make consignments less frequent, and bona side purchases more regular, SPAIN.

MApRip, June 5, 1870. The closing of the Cortes, the excessive heat and the appearance of the smallpox in the capital of Spain, have been the means of thinning to a considerable ex- tent the population of this city. An author, writing on Madrid, says:—‘Hay tres meses de invierno v nueve de inflerno”—“ There are three months of winter and nine of hell.” This, however, is Spanish, and, like all that 1s Spanish, due allowance must pe made for exaggeration. 1 must, however, say a few words about the he of Madrid in summer. The son's glare is traly African: at midday the sky, with- out the smalieac speck of cloud, isthe color of molten lead. The ground has a dusty gray appearance, and interspersed, as itis, with an abundance of mica, glit- ‘ters as if it were scattered with briiliants. In moving about in the day time, if you wisn to avoid the eun’s burning rays, you must follow the very nty shade afforded by projecting balconies and porticoes. The pavement literally burns, so that if you shonid acct dentally drop your maiches or fusees they ignite. Those who have to make visits and do not sport kids must apply their han’kerchiefs to the knockers 2 bellpulls, or else burn their fingers.

Une of the fugitives, covered with blood and wounds, managed to get shelter in a house, The mob, more enraged than ever, continued their pur- suit after the other flying victim, who they thought was Cruz Ochoa, and overtook him in the “Calle de la Reina,” called since the revolution “Calle de Prim.” Here commenced the horrible work of mu- tlation, A succession of blows from heavy cluis aud st.cks soon brought thetr victim to the ground, and his assailants, worse than sav and lke Ugers that, having once drawn blood, delight to tear their prey to pieces, trampled the head, face and chest of the ublortunate man till he was converted into au indescribable, unsapen mass of mangied flesh and blood, Not satisfied with this, the biood- thirsty savages drew their dirks and Knives, and commenced their horrible work of stabbing and cutting the body.

Yesterday the brothers Charles and Frauk Seitz who, as explained in the Daily Mai of the day bi fore, where apprehended upon a warrant — by Sherif Clark, on a charge of fraudulent nkraptcy, were brought up for examination be- fore Sherift Dickson. The petition sets forth that the Brothers Seitze purchased, from @ variety of New York firms, go amounting in vaiue to $66,692 56, or £15,665 108. 3d. sterling; that Sieginund Spingarn had acquired a right to the whole of these debts, and was avout to raise an action for payment; that the Brothers Seitze had absconded irom New York on or about 7th June, 1870, taking with them whatever property they had; that lt was believed they went to Nia- gara Falls and thence to Toronto: thence to Quebec, and from that port sailed on the 16th June in the Steamship Ottawa, trading between Quebec and Glasgow; that, after leaving New York, they as- sumed other names at each of these places; that Charles Setize assumed, and he took passage In, the name of Pmilip Wallig, and Frank A. Seitze in that of George Kent; that an order of urrest was ob- tamed on. the th of June, 1879, by Various American creditors from 2 judge of the Supreme Court at New York, out the Seitzes could not be found, although & Careful search was made for them in the above meationed places; that before leaving New York, besides receiving the goods described in the petition, they had, by worthless ohecks, defrauded a number of brokers of government bonds; that they arrived in Glasgow on or about the 2a of July, 1870; that they were natives of Darmstadt, iu Germany; that they purchased or converted the 1noney obtained by them into bills of exchange on various bankers in Germany, and that it was belleved that they were about to go to Darmstadt, at any rate they were about to leave this Kingdom. A warrant was there- Tore craved to have them appreliended and detained ax. in meditatione Juge witil they should find cau- von. Mr. W. M. Wilson, for the respondents, objected in Umine (1) that the petitioner had not set forth in the instance the title in which he sued; (2) that the peutioner had not set forth and deduced a suficient title or any ttle to sue in gremto of ihe petition and had no ttle; (3) that this action couid not have been brought unless an assignation existed, and if it ex- isted it ought to have been preduced; (4) that the ioner, being a foreigner sning wiih the concur- '@) of a mandatory, and having no domicile within the territory of the sherif"s jurtediction or of the Scotch court, this mandatory should have made an oath of credulity, and (5) that the respondents are not resident im Lancashire or legal.y within the jurisdiction of the court, inasmuci: as they were ap- prehended at the tail of the bank iliegally by the petitioner and certain criminal officers and forcloly brought within your lordahip's territory, but dis- charyed by the police magistrate of Glasgow as hav- ing been illegaliy appretiended, and, therefore, they were apprehended upon the present warrant before they had an opportunity of icaving the police bulid- iny fir. Gordon Smith, on the part of the petitioners, maintained that the instance contained ali that was necessary in an application of this nature. unnecessary to deduce a title in the instance, and the objection that there was none was irrelevant. - With regard to the second and third objections Mr. Smith heid that be had sec forth in the body of the petition his right to the debt. had acquired the various debts deserlbea in the peti- tion, and that all that was needful. He further quoted authorities Co show that # debt of this nature in America did not require any written ttle, bat could ybe proved by parole evidence. Theretore, if a writien title Was not necessary it was obviously out of the question to ask him to produce one. With regard to the fourth objection, that the petitioner belng a foreigner suing with concurrence of a man- datory, required that the mandatory shonid make oath of credulity, Mr. Smith mutntained that that Aa only necessary Where the oath of a foreigner was emitted in a foreign country. Where a foreigner came here and made the oath himself, and was interrogated by the Court as to the grounds of his belief with respect to the per son being in fuga, the mandatory did not re quire to make any oath. As to the fifth objection, relating to the proceedings before the Police Court, Mr, Smith maintained they had no relevancy in this question. The averments made with reference to the apprehenston of the respondents after being dis- charged by the police magistrate were denied, At the ume they were apprehended uuder the Suge they were free from custody or control of any sort. He contended, therefore, that Wiis objection also fell to be disinissed, Bheruf Dickson said that the matter had been al- ready before tois court; for Mr, § the clerk of ase in which aman Was arrested in Eugiand under a meditatione Sage warrant, and it was pleaded that it was inope- yative there; but it was still held by Short? Bell that in that instance the petition for meditatione Suga should go on, for U any wrong was done in England the remedy lay there. The learned Sheriff considered that the five objections came within the same prin- ciple. He therefore repelled all the objections as preliminary, reserving to himseif to deal according to his discretion With all these matters as affecting the merits after parties had been examined.

According to Miller's own statement, the officers did not see the man fighting. Referred to Board. ‘Thomas King, keeper of a furnished room house, at No. 118 Greene street, made a serious charge against ofiicer Dodican, of the Eighth. His bill of grievauces was as follows:—On the morning of the 12th inst, about one o'clock, @ woman who had @ room in witness’ house was standing on the sidewalk, witness was on the steps, and Oarl was on the opposite side of th street. Carl calied across, ordered them tn, calle him infamous names, when they went tn- side and closed tne door, Carl, he charges crossed over, burat open, the door, arrested wit- neas and his wife and locked them up at Jefferson Market Court.

"Several of the keepers? girls swore positively that Carl abused King and burst in the door. The defence proved that the house Was a very disreputable one, and that King ts now under ball, to answer the charge of keeping a disorderly house, at the Special Sessions. A very bad case was that of Robert A. McCredie, janitor of the Cottage Place Reading Rooms, against youndsman Patrick Dowdican, of the Eighth pre- cinct.

Another Edition of the “Judicial” Proosedings and How They Were Conducted—Some Tall Swearing “for the Benefit of the Party”—Verdict of the Jury and an Astonishing Result. Trying to Fit t ‘The Scannel inquest was resumed yesterday for the second time. The proceedings were oc! aracter- ized by the usual features which disgracefully d1s- tinguished the session of the day previous, There can be no doubt about the fact that political likes and dislikes had a great deal to do with the way the inquest was conducted, and that the washing of political dirty Imen seemed to have more attraction for the Coroner and his assistant than the clearing up of the mystery which appeared to surround the shooting. It is to be hoped that hereatter when & serious case comes up for inquisitorial adjudication by the Coroners that they will take such measures as will guarantee to each witness a faithful recordnig of his testimony, just as ne gives it, with nothing added or nothing omitted. The Assistant Coroner, who ‘undertook to take the evidence during this Scannel affair, did no doubt the best he could, but somehow or another he was oftentimes—as the rereading of the evidence of many of the witnesses provea— singularly unfortunate in the way he put the testi. mony down on paper. It 18, to say the least, a rather disagreeable thing for words to be put in a witness’ mouth that he did not utter, but it is ing insult to injury for a person to attempt to argue ‘@ witness into the belief that he says what he does not, WHAT I8 A PRIVATE COUNSEL? John Hoffman was the first witness examined. He said:—I reside at No, 432 Second avenue, and am f barber by trade; my place was used on the 3d of December last as a registry piace; 1 was out in the yard that day, and I came in about two o'clock and heard a muss going on; I saw Florence Scannel and his brother John fighting with some men who were registering; the registrars were there at the time; the people inside had to leave (ten or fif- teen) in consequence of the fight; there was a man getting his hair cut who had to get out before he was “finished;” I heard that Florence Scannel was shot that same day. By private counsel in Scannel interest—I did not see Donohve there that day; 1 do not know Nicara- Riley. Counsel for defence—What does this gentleman represent? If he intends to represent the people here I will send over to the District Attoruey’s office and get a disavowal, He represents John Scannel simpiy or his gang. There 1s only one side to unis case and not two sides, and I request the Coroner to discountenance counsel in everything but sug- gestions. J understand that John Scannel has come here with a gang of deputies to buliy this investiga- tion, 1 protest against a paity of roughs coming here to overawe this investigation. WHAT A “BUTTON HOLE MEANS. Gabriel Vase examined—I am proprietor of the Fulton Hotei on Eighteenth street and Third avenue; I remember on the 3d of November, between the hours of twelve and two o'clock, Jovn and Fiorence Scannel coming into my house; there were six or seven men in the room; Florence said, “If T catch you fellows registering here in this ward Vil put @ bution hole through you; he was addre: no one in particular, but tne whole crowd. To counsel for delence—I thought I saw somethi in Florence’s sleeve; 1 think tt was @ pistol; I tol them, “I don’t want any trouble here;” { don’t re- member whether I said “I don’t want any shooting” or not. Private counsel for defence—I took it from tne ex- pression used by Scannel Pagan 3 @ “button hole" through somebody that there would be shooting; the men whom Scannel accosted at my piace were taking dinner at the time, ‘A COMMON SMALI THIEF PROTECTED. Aaron F. Young, detective of the Eighteenth pre- ciut, was next called to the stand, when the counsel for the defence asked him if he knew the character of Flood, one of the witnesses. ‘The private counsel for the Scannel interest ob- jected to the evidence of the witness, Quite a lively discussion then ensued between the counsel, when the counsel for the defence requested, onthe Coroner’s ruling out the evidence, that itshould be recorded on the minutes that he intended to prove by the detective that Flood had been in the Peniten- ‘ary for six months for stealing, and that nis general Teputation now is that of a common small thier. ne Assistant Coroner, Dr. Suine, for some reason or another best known to himseif higgled over this for a minute or two before making an attempt to record the request of the counsul, but was finally compelled to buy the latter’s determined persistency. The Assistant Coroner after writing down the tes- timony of the witness read it aloud for his benefit, when the counsel for the detence remarked, after Dr. Shine had asked the witness if he hadn’t said such and so:— “Now, that 1s wrong. You sum up on his answers, Doctor, and then record his statements from the sumnming up. Be kind enough to put his statement down as he gaye it.”” ‘The Assistant Coroner took this advice with much ba ne il humor. narles F. Roberts, M. D., 447 Second avenue, tes- tified that he had, with others, made the post- mortem examination of the body of Florence Scannel. ‘he post-mortem has already been pub- lished in the HERALD.) ‘che witness stated that the Porson who shot the deceased must have been elther to the right or to the rear of him. ‘Yo the private counsel in Scannel interest—“he case ia A wonderfnl one of ®& man’s living seven months after the dividing of the spinal column; I never, in all my experience, heard of a case of the spinal column bet g divided and the patient livin, aS long a8 Seven Months; 8 Wound cutting the spinal cord, Where the bullet did in Scannel’s case, would cause Instantaneous loss of motion and sensation of the lower limbs, ‘A QUESTION OF BULLETS.

The counsel then went on to show the various forms of verdict which @ coroner’s jury could find. Tie jury should scrati- nize the witnesses’ motives, their conduct on the stand, and in determining their conclusion they should take the probability of their stutements into consideration, their credibility, and the reasonable- ness of their statement. The Coroner made a few remarks tothe jury, im which he stated that the case was with them, and he Jefe it to their good judgment to decide who was the guilty party ip the case. ‘The jury retired at half-past three o'clock and at five minutes to jive brought in a verdict that ae- ceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound at the hands of Thomas Donohoe. ‘The verdict was received in siience and astonished everybody not immediately interested In the case. ‘The usual questions were put to Mr. Donohoe, after wiuch he was asked what he had to ney as to the charge against him, when he made the following reply througn counse! have given a truthful statement of this occur- rence in my evidence before the Coroner's jury.
