IMPERIAL PARLUMENT. HOUSE OF LORD& —ToisDAY, FRB. 24. The LOAD °S UM took his mama dr =Mock it 5 o'clock. - - --- • --- - THE LANDS DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL. . . Lord LIFFORD gave patios alai he would on Monday next move the wooed readies of this talL PRIVATE BILLS. The London Railway Victoria Section Bill and the" Sid• mouth and Bad Leigh Salience Railway Bill were read a second time. THE EAST GLOUI RAILWAY BILL Lord LIFFORD moved the second reading of this bill, and hoped that it would not be rejected on this occasion, but that a fortnight's delay would be granted to the pro- moters to madder the matter. After a short discussion, in which Lord Redenhle, Lord Lifford, and Lord Stanley of Alderley took part, a division was called for, but ultimately Lord Redonda* withdrew his mote" and • motion for the adjournment of the debate was agreed to. ENGLISH CHURCH SERVICES IN WALES. The Bishop of BANGOR moved the second reading_ of the English Chun* Services in Wales Bill. He stated that as the law now stood, the public services should be per formed in the Welsh language in all parishes in Wales where that tongue was commonly spoken. A large number of EnoLsh families were scattered through these parishes, and not understaoding the language they were virtually de. prived of the benefit of assembling for public worship. The object of the present bill wu to meet this state of thinp. It empowered the bishops of Welsh dioceses to make provision for English services by licensing houses of worship already erected for the rupees, or which might hereafter be constructed, and to nominate clergymen thereto. The °comity for SOON mach measure was apparent, and be therefore hoped the bill would meet with the approbation of their lordships. The bill was read • second time. THE VOLUNTEER FORCE. Lord STRATHEMIN asked the Ceder Secretary of State for War whether her Majenty's government were prepared to enforce that part of the repoet of the volunteer commis sion which recommended the delay of brigade and divisional field days until the end of the battalion drill season. It had been found by erperienoe that the men fell off from their drill when the divisional or battalion field days were held early in the season. It was therefore desirable that those gatherings should be postponed to as late a period as possible. Earl DE GREY and RIPON massed the noble lord that her Majesty's government were most anxious to carry out all the recommendations of the royal commission as far as possible. The government did not intend to make any regulation founded on the recommeedetioe of the ommilidoeers. But he trusted those recommendation' would be duly oonsidered by the commanding ofew., and that they would take every step to prevent the falling off in drill after Easier Monday. He had greeted for hoping that greater attention would lie paid to this matter, ea, =dm the new system proposed by the commindoesers and to be adopted by government, a strider test of efficiency would be enforced ; and, therefore, it would be to the interest of °Seers end men to take the serum beet calculated to ensure such efficiency. Lord TRURO fully agreed with the noble lord who had just e►t down. The recommendations of the commianoners were founded on a forgetfulness' of the duties which the men who composed the volunteer corpe bad to perform. They could not devote time to diviaional and brigade gatherings, except on thaw' occasions, each as Pieter Monday, when they could spare a wools day for the purpose. Alter a few words from Lord SMASH:IDE!, the house adjourned at 20 minutes peat 6 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TITIRDAY, F=s. 24. The house met at four cede*. NEW 101.118 ER...

GREY brought up a memo from her Maissty in reply to the address of the bones praying her Majesty not to allow Use We of the fonds' rights of the mown to facilitate the iselosnre of mown lands within 13 miles of the metropolis. Her Majesty desired him to convey to the house that the sates would receive due conaideration. CHARITABLE BEQUESTS (IRELAND). Mr. HASSABD gave notice that on the 24th of March he should call the stbintioa of the house to the state of rho law relating to charitable donations and bequests in Ireland, and move that the laws in that respect ought to be aesbni- Lied to those in fora in England, as far as eirmusistanoni would permit. REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGES (IRELAND). Mr. MONSRLL gave notioe that on Thunehy he should move for leave to being in a bill to provide for the reclama tion of merriepe in Irehad. 11700M1 TAX.

DOCKYARD PROMOTION. Mr. FERRAND asked the Bemetary to the Admiralty whether the board intended to remind the repletion, bear ing date the 16th day of October, 1861 , relating to promo tion ie the royal dockyards. The regulatioe in question prohibited all promotion in her Majesty's dockyards after the age of 45. Lord C. PAGET—In answer to the hon. gentleman I have to say that there is so intention on the part of the Admi ralty to rescind that regulation. ARMY ESTI tif ATI/B. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY inquired of the Secretary of State for War whether the numbers of the foremen, arti ficer% workmen, he., in the varies' manufactories of the War Department were aotornitted in the easy estimatee for! 1863-4, east if so, whether the Secretary of State for War would take care that the mei= be supplied in the same form ea iu the army estimate of 1862-3. Sir 0. C. LEWIS replied that the army estimate* of this year had bees prepared with comiderable care, with the view of WM before the hones all the information that was likely to be undid in debate. The information re ferrod to was advisedly omitted, for the reason that the artifice!' anaidayed by the War Department were for the most part paid by the piece, and therefore any statement of the number of parsons employed was necessarily founded upon vague and meartain data. But if the hog. gentleman wished for the umber, he would take care that it should be laid upon the table. EXPORTATION OF SALMON. Mr. SMITH. salted the Secretary el State for the Home Department if It was the intention of her Idajosty's p rominent to bring in a bill daring the present session to prevent the exportation of salmon front the United King dom daring tie feces months of the year. Sir G. GREY announced that the Under• Secretary for the Hoots Department intended to give &Aloe .of a bill upon the subject. THE IRISH FISHERY BILL.:-ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOES& In reply to Sir B. Put, Mr. SIIIAHON said if it would be for the convenience of the bowie, he bad no objection to postpone his bill on the subject of the fisheries of Ireland till Wednesday week. He understood that at present it wu the only business on the paper for to-morrow (this day), and that there would be no sitting of the house if be commuted to the postpone ment. Lord PALMERSTON—With reference to what has fallen from the hon. member, I rather think thews is DO public twinges standing for to-morrow, and I am Dot aware that th ere is any private businesa of any intermit If that be so, p er h a ps, when the house adjourns late in the evening, it might be for the tionvecieue of hoc. members if we ad journ till Thursday. (Bur, hear.) THE ROYAL MARRIAGE. Mr. HADFIELD asked the noble lord at the head of the government whether It was intended that the home should sit on the 10th of March, the day of the royal marriage. Lord PALMERSTON—I Imagine that you, air (the Speaker) will be in attendance elsewhere upo n th a t day, and therefore the house probably will not sit. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) MEDIATION IN AMERICA. ----- Mr. HOPWOOD asked the First Lord of the Treuury if th ere wig aay compposidsoce between her Majesty's govern- meet and the Reepirer of the French relative to the offer of mediating between the Federal and Confederate States ; and if so, whether tiers would be any objection to lay it upon the table of the knees ; also if her Majoity's govern ment we aware that any reply oa the subject bad bus re ceived by the Emperor of the French from the Federal government.

NAVY (PROMOTION AND HETDIENENT). Sir J. HAY nee to move that this house will, upon Th urs d a y sort, smoke itself tintto a committee to of an address, submitting ha—L The position of the officers of her Majesty's naval service, in respect of pro motion and retirement, is not eatiefactary, and ought to be amended. 2. That, with • view to the mcomed efficiency of the naval service, sod to meet the just km, of officers with respect to promotion, it is dedra to adopt for all ranks the principle of retirement by age. 34 That the _pay of naval °Moos ought to be so adjusted so to enable them °Penitently to maintain the rank they bold, and to five them fair remuairation for hononrable service. Observing that considerable dissatisfactice existed the officers of the navy, and in his opinion not withoua grounds, that they looked upon the Admiralty as an but friendly to the oonoessiou of their just rights, he m ceedod to justify and enforce his pro 'dons, Mowing that his scheme of retirement would benefit the marries, and mote its efficiency by producing a steady flow of promotion. With reference to the last proposition, he painted out the grievances suffered by offlcere of the navy through insuffi cient and diminished pay and allowances, which he con tended with those of the army and the civil service, and also with the remuneration of officers in the navy of other nations. Lord PALMERSTON moved as an amendment that a select committee be appointed to consider the present sys tem of promotion and retirement in the navy. Doing full justice to the motives of Sir J. Hay, he objected to the course be had taken, both out of and in the house, in aiding to convert officers of the service into deliberative ow:amities" whose object was to suite discontent against the rules of the Berme, and he obarscterieed ,oh conduct as dangerous to discipline and contrary to all the principles on which armlet sad navies were governed. He 01:111%04CIOCI that, so far m regarded pay and promotice, it was quite passible for the numb= of all public Pavia' to get up grievances in these respects ; but it was the duty of pediment to deal with such questions on • broad principle, and one which most have refereme to the question of public expenditure. and to the amoral ad ministration and resonem of the country. He doubted whether the motion now brought forward was one which the house ought legimately, and with a due regard to the discretion it always exercised, to entertain; in fact it was an attempt to place the administration of the details of a branch of the public service, for a time at least, in the hands of the house. The motion asked nothing definite and precise for the information and guidance of the amen tire, however the details might have bees elaborated in the speech of the hosourable member. Hs mimed that honorary rewards were not without Importance when the services of the may sad navy were 0:Cd41111113. and the principle on which those aervdres were rewarded was not purely one of pay sad emolument He defended the Admiralty against the attach which had been me& cm their I contending that the orminsittee whisk had inquired (stn its orpnisation and system had by implication admitted that the MO of that department had failed. If the house thought that an investigation into the date of the navy was desirable the (overman would accede to that some, and consent to the appointment of a committee for that purpose. Sir J. IiLPHINNFONE, not being • naval officer, as an independent member strenuously supported the view of the !=...0f the navy which had bees laid down, but he the alter at the committee. =el DIINOOMBB explained the reasons which, in his opinion, canned the tailors at the ernamittee of DAL Sir B. CLIFTON supported Or original motion. He thought that boring expoded seek mew aims upon the austeriel of the navy, we milt to look at the per astsmi. Yr. B. 00011 BANI dlerented from some parts of Sir J. Hay's same ; bed as • wiZ i be thought it one for wield' he deserved the higher& /dr. FREELAND, in supperting the motion, observed that the oaken of the nay_ had appealed to the Admiralty, but had appealed in vacs; they bed laid their Mans be fore the hosed, who, sot showing that time claims were naked, returned a tort and offensive reply. They were then compelled to come to that house ; for to whom were they to appeal Mr. B. W. DUFF, though giving a general support to tbe government, should vote for the original motion. Oaptain TALBOT vindicated naval officers against the emen rppore nun upon them by Lord Palmentoo. Hs likewise su ted the motion. BENTDZOIC, after some remarks upon the oom politico and proosedinp of the committee of 1861, admitted that there was a peat deal el form in what had been said by Lord Palmenton es to the made proposed by Sir J. Hay of dealing with the quedian, sad suggested that this pro posal to refer it to a optima.", should be accepted. Lord 0. PAGET analysed the Asa el retiremest pro posed by Ste 7 . Hay, IllilOWing in detail the injurious Mem it would exert upon the memos, and that it was impracti cable without indicting injustice upon cams. He disputed the correetme of the emparises tends by Sir J. Hay be tween the pay of British and Femme naval cams. He did net deny that there was room for improvement, but there bad been i peat improvements ends in the pay and position of all OWN/ n the navy, and it was not fair to make cherps essinst the Admiralty and to instigate odicen to diembent. SirT. ELKIN GTON insisted that Sir J. Hay was sot Bible to the charge made against him by Lord Palmerston, and that his motto, wm not own to say objeotiou on ar oma of its form. He, on his part, ehir Lord Palmerston with inoomistenoy and a clangs of isWes in now pro- Po o t c y an blab., by • committee which he had op. p in Be He (Sir John) thought the gen tian ought to be dealt with by the smentive, or, if not, that it should he referred to a royal mambas. With regard to the plan proposed by Sir .J Hay, he did not aroma to all the details, but he esemborated Sir John's statements re to the madsrpsyment of the mipaior officers of the navy. Though be shield vote for tie motion if Cbmto a &vi ten. he sampled whether he would not . a dimharp the ditty he bad so well preformed, by not premium ; and he appealed to the government whether, in that event, it would not be better that they should un dertake the question. Atter a few words from Sir O. WOOD, Sir J. HAY, in accepting the suggestion of the noble lord at the head of the goverment, trusted that the com mittee would be one in which the hones aad the service would have ocalidence. He would ailment to the motion of the noble lord in the hope that the subject would be duly inquired into by the committee, and that their recom mendation would be carried out with good faith by the government. (Hear, War.) The motion of Sir J. Hay was then withdrawn, and the amendment of Lord Palmerston agreed to. SECURITY PROW VIOLENCE. Mr. ADDERLEY moved for leave to bring in • bill for pro viding for the farther amity of the persons of her a t i = subjects from violence. He said that by the oon act of 1861, the punishment of robberies with violence was penal Davao& from three yeast* life, or &diary imprison ment with hard labour not exceeding two years. Him pro position was imply to snake the same addition to that punishment for robberies with violence whir was made by the act of 1841 to the punishment of attacks on the Queen, and by the act of 1845 to the puniahment of malicious in juries to works of srt, viz. corporal punishment. (Hear, her.) He prepaid that vi:., with the same object, and for the are reamer sod he was convinced that the result would be the same as in those two came. In the dreary vista of brokendown experiments in penal enactments daring the last fifty yeas these two acts stood oat • past of complete sticcest. (Hear, bear.) His followed precedent and cowmen sense, and so being in • retrograde direction, it was dictated by enlightened experisnes. In the Felony and Larceny Con moWithon Act of 1861 expand punishment for adults was deliberately retread in the two cases be had mentioned. He attached no weight to the argument that corporal pu nishment was a degrading punishment : those who ride° argued from their own bincosece. Punishment to be effeo tual must be addressed to the motives of those who were punished, and if there were men who bad no higher motives than mere freedom from pain, it was better to visit their crimes with such a punishment as woeld ; stop the recurrence of them, than to continue las inefficient punishment for that purpose. The late Duke of Wellington, when he gave his evidence against the excessive use of corporal punishment in the army, in the most marked way guarded himealf against being supposed to express an opinion against the necessity of that punishment in certain are; and said that as a deterring and exemplary punishment it wee absolutely orrery. Al regarded the internal disci , plias of prisons, he bad a very high authority, Major Fol. • ford, the governor of Staffordshire gaol, who stated that after thirteen years' experience, and after having every spear of ruffian under his ere, he had never bed any oars to repeat corporal punishment • seeped time. (Hear, hear.) The public opinion of the country would not be carat to throw away • punishment which had been so inteoessful If it had been successful in protecting her i Majesty from violence and works of art from malicious in. jury, would they be acting as seeable men if they allowed the radio to remain exposed to acts of violence with this effectual remedy lying idle in their hands ? Sir G. GREY rid that it was not the intention of her Majesty's government to oppose the introduction of the bill. Ile wished, however, to goad himself against being ornmated is any ma I. he principle. The house should bear in mad that a key years since • ornasittee of both houses weal oared olly through all the acts relating to the earned law which were able to be amaididated, and de- Ilbstarly recommended thee am* should be abolished except le the two or three mass adverted to by the riyht how. psetleowo.

COURT OF QUKIN'S BENCH.—Fan. 24. After Term sittings at Nisi Prins at GullelhalL-0/41fore bard Odd Justice Cockburn and • Special Jury.) ins v. ROLM --MMOULAR CAM. This was an action of • very peculiar and eztraordinary description. The action was blamed by Dr. G. N. Epps, to recover of the defendant the ma of 1271. for medical attendanoe on his We. The defendant pleaded never indebted. Kr. Berjeant Parry and Mr. Wd were coning fee the plaintiff ; Mr. &leant liallantine and Mr. J. Browne were eoltybal for the defendant. — Mr. Synt Parry, in stating the eau I. the jury, said she plain • wake medical man of some years' standing, end the defendant was a wealthy member of *Meek and the action wan brought to recover the ems ef F4 471.% medical attendance on the defendant's wife, from Feturery, 1861, to February, 1862. The circumstances of the ease were very painful, though he was afraid they were not peculiar. The plaintiff it would appear had attended Mrs. Mont in a very subtle uterine disease, combined with severe imi tation. He attended her first at Georgeetrest, Portman square, and afterwards at Battersea. Mr. Sujeant 13affentine said be should not trouble the plaintiff about theattendenees, or the charges, or that the defendant was a man of considerable means. The question was one purely of liability. Mr. Serjeant Parry said he was afraid they would not be able to avoid entering into the painful facts of the cau. The question did not resolve itself into one of mere liability. The husband was liable fee his wife unless he had been legally relieved and excused from it. The Lord Chief Justice—Are the parties living together? Mr. Serjeant Parry—No. They are Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said that the facts were not much in dispute, and the sole question wu whether the lady was the defendant's wife. lirshe was his client was responsible, end the money would be immediately paid. The Lord Chief Justice—Were the parties living together at this time ?• Serjeant Parry maid they were not. Mr. flereant BsMuth.* maid they had not lived together for man ye ars . Mr. t Parry said that in 1861 and 1862 this lady was suffering from this disease, which required special at tendance, and involved very considerable expense. It would appear that on the 2cid of July, 1846, the defendant was married to this lady at Mary!shone Church. They lived together till 1814, sad in May of that year a wart tion took place, into the obnumataaass cif which he not - intend to enter. On the 12th al May, 1864, Mr. Rush, did the defendant's solicitor, wrote Mrs. 'keels at the defendant's request, stating that be would allow her 1,0001. a year, pay able monthly in advance, to prevent the neassoity of her incurring any debts. He stated that he weld not be an swerable for any debts that she might incur, and that she was distinctly to understand that she had no authority to pledge his credit in any way. The jury would see that that allowance was liberal, and if it had been continued there would have been no need of that action. The allowance, however, was reduced to 5001. a year, and afterwards to 2501., which was the sum that was now paid to the lady. He was not aware of any conduct on the lady's part to dieentitle her to th y , full amount of the first allowance. The learned counsel amid that where a person wa rn held out to the world as the wife of the person represend, though actually unmarried, the man was liable for the debts so contracted. In this ease, however, there were the additional facts of the parties having been married, and of living together as man and wife. The certificate of marriage was put in and read. It wee dated god July, 1846, and was between William Morris and Harriet Jones They were married at Marylebone Church. --- Dr. Epps deposed to his attendance on Mrs. Morris. Mary Jones, a midwife, was called to prove that the de fendant and Mrs. Morris lived together as man and wife. She produced a thick memorandum book, covered with brown paper, to refresh her memory. Mr. Sequent Ballantine—ls that your ledger ? (Laughter.) Witness—No. She attended on Mn. Morris when she lived with her husband, and afterwards in Westboorne terrace, after the separation. She wee treated by the defendant as the mixture of his house and his wife. She did not attend her for • confinement. This was the plaintiff's cue. Mr. Serjeant ]fallantioe said the plaintiff's conned had not informed them of the real circumstances noder which the defendant had brought the ease into court. It was not • cue for charges to be made on either side, nor was there any neoemity for their inquiring into the occurrences that had led to the separation. There was no doubt that the pasties were married aa had been stated, mid lived together for many years afterwards. Something, however, occurred which rendered it obligatory on the part of the defendant to separate from his wife. He first allowed her 1,0001. per annum, which was afterwards reduced to 6001., and had since been reduced to 2601., but for what reason those sums had been diminished he did not propose to show. The defence to the action was one of • purely technical description, viz., that the lady was • married woman at the time she married the defendant, and that the first husband was now alive. If that were so, there was an end of the asses as the defendant was not her husband. The defendant had no desire to leave the lady destitute, but circumstances had rendered it neoeseary that he should defend this action. Thomas Pearce deposed that in 1841 he was butler to Mr. Wm. Clowns, of Parliament-street. He had a son named Edward, who was married on the 11th September, 1841, to Emily Harriett Geraldine Terry, at Kennington Church. The lady was 17 years of age. Mr. Edward Clomps was above age. In Jaamiry, 1855, he saw the lady before the Hertford magistrates charged with forgery. He had not seen theago. lady sines He maw Mr. Edward Claws about • week Mr. limb, defendant's solicitor, deposed that the lady before the Hertford magistrates was the Derwin the de fendant married at Marylebone Church. He remembered the circumstances of the separation, and made the necessary arrangements for it. Cross-examined—He always communicated with her as Mrs. Morris. The charge of forgery wasffirderrid Owen, manager to Messrs. Collins, Ox ford. street. She was committed f or t the indictment was not prosecuted. Mr. Moher with money for her defence, but he was a witness against her. She was paid every fortnight her allowance. By Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—The charge had reference to a 1,500 f. bill. The defendant was sued for it, and he denied the signature as being his. By Mr. Serjeant Parry—He had heard the defendant say that he was aware of the first marriage when the second took place. Ihe defendant was under the impres sion that he could marry, believing she had bean divorced from her fi rst husband. The question of the legality of the marriage was raised rat Hertford, when the defendant was admitted u • witness against her. There was no record of a divorce in the Home of Lords, but there was fi mend et thorn in the Arches Court. He requested her not to use the name of Morris, but she persisted in doing so. Some further evidence having been given for the dein. dan Mr. Serjesnt Ballantine addrused the jury for the de fendant, contending that he was not liable. Mr. Serjeant Parry said the question was, had the de fendant, notwithstanding the circumstances, held the lady out to the world as his wife, and clothed her with his credit ? The defendant had never repudiated bar to the public, but had permitted her being addressed by the attor ney and the money sent to her in the name of Morris. The Lord Chief Justice remarked that the separation was in 1854, and the debt was not contracted till 1861.2. His lordship having summed up, The jury returned • verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCREQUER.—FIB. 24. Bitting' at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.—(Before Lard Mat Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) RTAVILN v. TIM COON - PROP OP WALD/MR/PM (Concluded front yesterday's Express.) Mr. Bevan, the plaintiff, erese-examined I resided in Paris. I owed moss than 50,0001, all of which is now satisfied. I was outlawed, but the outlawry was removed. I received a cheque for the 1,1611. from Mr. Lathes, and banded the money to Eari Waldegrave in bank notes, either on his way to the House of Lords or in the house itself, for the purpose of paying the Edinburgh bills. I sometimes disbursed money for him, bat on most occasions I did not. I have no memorandum of the payment, or any entry of it in any books. I changed the cheque at Mr. Labee's banker's. I cannot charge my memory now of the exact Art. when I gave him the money. The earl declined to give the names of any one elm concerned in the assault. He would rather suffer any pri. ration than do so, though he was the least guilty of any. After some other evidence bad been adduced, the learned counsel on each side addressed the jury, and The Lord Chief Berms having summed up the evidence, The jury found a verdict for the defendant. - - COURT OF BANKRIJPTCY.—Fie. 24. (Before Mr. Oommiuioner Fans.) IN IS W. WESTGARTII. (Continued from ye.terday's Express.) . . Mr. Sarpod read extracts from the bankrupt's own let. tars, which showed that as early as December, 1860, he knew of his insolvent position. In Septembsr, 1861, he spoke of the hopeless task of " pouring water into a sieve," sod still went on for three months longer buying . goods on c redit. The house of Hannamey and Co.

SUSPECTED POISONING AT BRIGHTON. -- A most mysterious and suspicious death, that of • widow aged 43, named Mazy Ann Day, formed the subject of investigation on Monday night, before the borough coroner's (Mr. Black) court, Brighton, the case standing adjourned for the evidence of Profeesoe Taylor. The de ceased was keeping company with • painter named Sturt, and bed done so for • oonsiderabkt period; but • little jealousy seemed to have been mixed up with the courtehip, for according to his own testimony they quarrelled five or six weeks since, about a young man employed at the railway. That seemed to have blown over, sad domed and Start were to hive been married in • rounth'e time, and they went for their usual walk on Sunday m orning. Whilst out he pm her a mince pie which be had the previous night, and they went into • beos=p where they had some ale. The land lady said to her, "Dear me, how ill you look ; what's the matter r Deceased rid, ' Nothing ; " and left with Start to go home, but before she reached home she became sick and continued to vomit, and was seized with excessive Ojaand violent pains throughout the day, till about i . rg te e n in the m l=r, a w li ten • surgeon at hnidwa was r ogt t fo l f . . Mr , found her dead. He made • post mortem examination on Monday, which showed no tu be rcular or valvular disease, but revealed excessive congestion of the internal coat of the stomach, snob • state, he said, as would be pro duced by some irritant poison, and which would mount for the sickness and pains which had been described. He produced the stomach in a sealed jar, and gave his opinion that it should be submitted to some area =al chemist, for although he • could say that the Immo • cause of death was collapse and congestion of the lungs the exciting came wee obscure, but he believed it was some inherit cause which was unnatural ; at least, he never met with • cos of natural death in which there were the same appearances. Another suspicion, feature in the case was • statement of the deceased's daughter that her mother told her the mince pie was hot to her throat, while hturt, who elected to make a statement, said deceased while eating the pie said it was very nice. The inquest, as stated above, stands adjourned, and the investigation revealed a state of things which no one could have supposed to exist in a town like Brighton. The deceased was the mother of eight children, living in the lowest depth of poverty within • stone's throw of the Marine-parade, the most aristocratic and wealthy part of the town. TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Legion in the chair. The report and statement of accounts, an abstract of which we have already published, ware taken as read. The chairman having moved, and Mr. Theodore Rathbone seconded the adoption of the report, Mr. Hansbury made some remarks upon the *Tort ano• of establishing a reserve fund in order to equalise future dividends to 5 per cent. par annum, to improve the character of the stock, and to meet contingencies such as accidents, lac., which could not be foreseen. Mr. Hanabiu, also dwelt upon the importance of a friendly investigation into the affairs of the Submarine Company, in order. if pos sible, to place the interests of the Magnetic proprietors in that company upon a more satisfactory footing. Mr. J. B. Jeffery having followed up the subject, and seconded • motion made by Mr. Heathery, some discussion followed, daring which the chairman, on behalf of the board, expressed no objection to the adoption of a resolution that no dividend exceeding 5 per cent be paid in any year until the reserve fund amounted to 10,000!. This reeolution having been adopted, Mr. Bariabury moved another, to the effect that the directors of the British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company be requested to take the necessary steps to insure, as far as might be in their power, the more satisfactory mansgetheat of the Submarine Tele graph Company, and more particularly to insist upon the establishment of a reserve fund. After some conversation, however, this motion was withdrawn, the chairman, Mr. Honaby, and others, explaining that it was desirable that the boards of this and the Submarine should work in the most harmonious way together, on account of the large amount of traffic interchanged, and that such • resolution would be likely to irritate the Submarine directors, who were only doffing what they could to improve the menage. ment of their affairs. The report and amounts were then unanimously adopted, and the reeds' director re-elected.

TEE PROPOSED RAILWAY STATION DI ITITESDET•SQUARIL Alderman HAIR promoted a petition from inhabitant hoseaholders and others in the ward of Coleman-street, praying the court to take into consideration the propriety of fteadocthat a parliamentary opposition be made by the corporation to the paining of the proposed railway bills of the Grant Eastern Railway Company, for taking the entire area of Finsbnry-eircus and the adjaceet properties in the said ward. The petition was read at length, and the worthy alderman afterwards addrimed the court, and moved that it should be referred to the Bridge-house Mates Committee for them to consider and report what should be done in the matter. He sad that the subject of the proposed extension of rail ways into the metropolis, and particularly into the very heart of London, was one of very great impatrow, not only to those who were to be summarily expelled from the property they at present occupied, for railway purposes but also to the public at large. They had only to look at what was going on in the neighbourhood of London-bridge and they would see instead of houses and shops, only an ugly bridge and • dead blank wall, and if only • portion of the scheme' at present proposed was to be carried out, he bad no hesitation in saying that a large amount of public deformity, so far as the City of n was concerned, would be created. (Hear, hear.) With regard to this par ticular project for destroying Finsbury-circa, he oonsidered that it was most objectionable, and would be productive of • large amount of injury to the inhabitants of that parti cular locality, and to the ward geoerally he con sidered it was the duty of the corporation to render all the opposition in their power to it. He concluded by stating that be was glad to see that these projects for cutting up the metropolis in all directions for the sake of seaming private speculations only In a great many instances had attracted attention, and that Lord Derby had taken up the matter in the Home of Lords, and that this particular measure brought forward by tie Great Eastern Railway Company had been very needy summarily disposed of on the previous evening, and probably would have been so if Lord Derby bad not °amanita that the discussion should be postponed for a fortnight. t ilz.) Deputy Plenum seconded the motion, and in so he observed that by all these projects for bringing ways into populous neighbourhoods, a vast amount of rateable property was destroyed, and the companies took good are to get clauses insetted in their acts of parliament to save them from giving any thing like adequate compensation to any of the parties who were sufferers by their proceedings. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the diefigurement of the metropolis by many of the proposed schemes, he mid that it was patent to everyone, and he thought it was to be lamented that by the bridge that would be carried over Ludgate-street, the beau tiful work of Sir Christopher Wreo, St. rears Cathedral, would be almost eatirely bidden. Mr. Mamma opposed the motion, on the ground that the parties residing in the neighbourhood were the proper pumas to oppose the proposed scheme, and that the corpo- ration ought not to be called upon to do so. He moved, u an amendment, that the petition do lie on the table. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Hamra, but upon a show of hauls the original motion of Alderman Hale was earned by • very large majority. TECll ... korosiD N W STRUT TO THE MLNBION-HOOBl. Mr. Joey STIMART presented a petiii;;:ith7tnhabi. tante of the ward of Cheap, praying the court to take into consideration the propriety of directing that opposition be made to the application to parliament by the Metropolitan Board of Weeks for an act to empower the board to make • new street from Blackfrismbridge to the Mansion-house. This gave rise tot short discumion, during which Deputy TROXBON, who opposed the motion that the petition should be referred to a committee, observed that he was as anxious as anyone could be thet the corporation of London should carry out their own improvements, but they had no funds to do so in this particular case ; and if the work, which was very emoted for the convenience of the public, was not done by the government, it would not be done at all.

As an instance of the strong feeling which prevails here as to the probable long duration of the struggle is Amara, Me stated that a spinner here declared his intentir, in addition to closing his two mills, to sell off his horses red carriages, break up his household establishment, and go int o lodes's, to live as economically as passible untll there is a =of a better supply of cotton, and of renumine with some chance of a rofit. lie is east to have declared that be could not use neat cotton for the dass of yarn to which his machinery is adapted. The bust nen in cloth to-day has been quite as flat as that it yarns. Sines Saturday there has been a rather better feeling, with some inquiry, but it hoe sot led to business , and the stagnation has immured day by day. Any sales forced on the market this morning must neoeswirily have taken place at prior favourable to the buyer. It was hoped that the recent @dram from India would lead to some improvement, but they seem to have bad little effect beyond the sales mentioned is Friday's report, and even these tun out not to have been for shipment, bat with • view to held as, a 9oculation. What tranasations are re ported are reined to mothers el a few hundred pieces of standard makes for asserted orders, end ter which there're presides ordenwithout limit's to rice. The kid stock of cotton at Liverpool eerier retire large compared with the primer rate of demand. At the close al bet week it was 415,000 bales, or equal to about 26 weeks' orsumption at 16,000 bales per week. The quantity at sea (Fast Indian) was 182,000 bales, against 140,000 at the same time bid year. Leas than 20 weeks' supply or emuidered good when the production was folly equal to the whole consuming power al the country, and many of our spinner thank the present stock should keep prices at Liverpool more in check. It is evident that COLICIDIr• are buying very moderately at the present high rata*, sad many people think it is equally clear that with the heavy stone of goods still on hand, the out-turn of the mills yet working is larger than will find its way into consumption at the present high range of prior. An illustration of the way is which dear calico is stimulating the trade in woollen fabrics (to say nothing of linen, silk, and mixed goods) has transpired in • local circumstance of some novelty. It has been long • custom (more peculiar to laracsabire and York. shire perhaps than to many other counties) to staff bed s with woollen Socks instead of feathers. In times what wool has been plentiful and cheap, it has no doubt occurred that wool of • very fair quality has been used for this =and the fact referred to above is, that of late driers have been industriously engaged in hunting up woollen-flock beds, and either buying them from the amen, or giving a sum of money to he allowed to take out these flocks, and substitute for Ahem cotton flocks, or some other material of ler value.
