THE CITY POLICE. - - rid --- The Earl of DALHOUSIE be thought scamp' t time had now elapsed since he drew their loMahips' :Attu- Lion to the confusion that took place in the City on the 7th of March, to have enabled the government to make up their ' minds as to the snot neceasery to be taken to prevent the recurrence of such unfortunate circumstances. (Hear.) Earl GRANVILLE said he could to • certain degree, from personal experience, confirm what bad been rsti by hie noble friend with regard to the different arrange ments of the metropolitan police and those within the pre rinds of the City of London. His noble friend the Post master-General and himself contrived to see a very large portion of the route, both within and without the City, and there was no doubt that the whimsies within the City was very great, almost preventing them from wain. Indeed, when they arrive's at the Manna-bore it &poorer:lto them quite impossible that the ground could be cleared so u to allow the royal procession to past. They were, however, never so much !truck by anything as by the wonderful good humour of the people—he would not call them the mob—whether reahained by the police outside the city, or left very much w ith ou t gu id ance w ithi n it s limits. (Hear, hear.) He wa s also bound to ss that particularly at Tem ple-bar, when to portion of the City police ware oo duty, they appear* d most melons in maintaining order; but in of ben parts of the route, where all progress se smed impossible, they were he thought nearly the* c.quarters of an hour without seeing a policeman of any kind, or any attempt to clear the way. But so far from this being • reflection upon the City police, who i they considered the very small number of men at their die pawl, and the hundreds of thousands of people collected, it was impossible without some other arrange ments that . the police could have controlled the multitude. With rep rd to the particular questioo put by his noble friend as t .o what the government intended to do with re open to t bi• important subject, he had to state that the Home-o 8 is lost no time whatever in directing its attention to the is atter. The Home ;Secretary wrote at once to the Lord Ma Tor, calling his attention to the facts which bad been stated u Ith regard to the confusion which accompanied the proossei an through the City, and asking for explanations as to t he number of the police on duty, and the ar rangem ants made to insure order during the interesting commis ny of the 7th inst. This communication was imme diately acknowledged, the Lord Mayor stating that a search ing in vestigation was taking place, and that the result would be communicated to the Hoene-office. Up to the Arse , it moment that information had not been received. The I Tome-office, however, bad taken other means to inform then selves generally upon the subject, but it would clearly not 1 XI right for them to take any action till they were in post onion of all the particulars. He might, perhaps, be cello wed to add that it was certainly the more to be regretted the t any confusion should have occurred, on amount of the pro ;orations made by the City to receive the Primus, par ticularly at London-bridge, where the decorations were ch sracterised by great good taste and magnificence. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE thought he might be per m itted to sav a few words with regard to the mita o aide for this royalprogrem, as he had been all to in • rather place, so far as the military assistance on that i cession was concerned. He felt bound to say that in the ' first instance all military assistance was refused by the City. On the Tuesday he had a meeting of all officers who were to be on duty, as well u the Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Polio*, and they felt very strongly the - neoeasity for some military assistance in the City ; but, at ^the same time, he was aware that such assistant* could not, 'be given without almost an actual demand from the City. He therefore replotted Sir ft. Moyne to put himself iota -communication with the City authorities oo the subject, and to suggest to them the expolioncy of making similar arrangements to those which were being made for the Won end. skirl:nun* morning he received • commuoicatiou from the soperintendeot of police of the City of London, stating that no military aid was required. This seemed oo pee eotfymoestroaa that, being personally acquainted with the Lord Mayor, he took the liberty of sending to him Sir It. Airey. the gnarterineeter-General, with • request that he would oblige him (the Duke of Cembeidp) by al lowing • certain number of troops to go into the Of into fear ing that otherwise something very serious might occur. In the first instance be believed the Lord Mayor though ex tremely amiable and courteous in hie reply, 'did not eon eider it necessary to have such assistance, but on Sir R. Airey further pointing out the desirability that the subject should be fully considered, and one or two others of the City authorities having been called in to take part in the deli beration, It was arranged, after some little dismission, that some troops should be asst. The Lord Mayor had stated that if they had seat Life Guards instead of Artillery there would have been oo occlusion. (Hear, hear.) He did not underetand upon what pound that argument wee based, for he could not see why one body of troops should be better than mother for the purpose. Ha was quite aware that the household cavalry had great experience in dealing with large bodies of people in the streets, and it was very well known that they in variably acted with great forbeininee, and did their work really well. (Hear.) He felt the responsibility of seatiog other troops into the City, but he had particularly instructed the officers commending U N artillery to warn the men to exercise the greatest fotbearuce, sad to allow the people to see as much as possible. (Hear.) He had spoken to per sons in the crowd, and it had been especially pointed out to him that there never was anything like the good humour and forbearance shown by the artillery • and he had been further told that but for the ten or a diz'ssen men in front of the Mansion-house the "on never would have got on at sit (Hear.) It hail been mid that the tromp*, of the artillery rendered them unsuitable for the performaace of this kind of duty, but he could only say that the trappinp of the artillery were the same as the rest of the army. He was also bound to say a word for the volunteers of the City of London. He had read the letter of Lieutenant- Colooel Ward, and he thought that that officer was com pletely exculpated. If soy o ne was in fault is detaining the volunteers at the Guildhall it was the City authorities, who if they wished to have them elsewhere should Lave issued orders to that effect. With respect to the question of whether or not the City of London should retain its own exclusive police he wished to say a few words. He believed that the fora was composed of very good men, but on Saturday week they uoderteok a task which was entirely beyond their strength. To take charge of the whole line from London-lbridge to Temple-bar with such an amount of force was impossible. He thought it highly objectionable that as great occasions like that of Saturday week two or three authorities should divide amongst them the rseponsi bility of preserving order, and whether the two forces were amalgamated or oot be hoped that some arrangement would be made to produce uniformity of action in future. (Hear, hear.) At present the City of Ludes was hermeti cally sealed against the military authorities. As corn. niaader-io-chief of the army he could at any time ootomuni. oath with the thief of the metroliolints police, but with re spect, to the City it was only by the courtesy of the corporation that any arrangement could be 001110 to. He bad admitted that that courtesy was always shown, but he did feel that some better arrangement was oeeeseary if they did not wish to en • frightful accident occur oe some future great oecesion. It bad bees said that the voluntems were told not to interfere with the crowd. If that was true he thought that every wise precaution had been takes. (Hear, hear.) The armed force which was allowed to interfere with crowns should be under the strictest discipline and accus tomed to be trusted, two conditions which they could not 'semi to dad fulfilled in the ease of the volunteers. He I could oat sit down without expressing his great satisfaction I at the order and regularity which had been maintained by the menesoliten police. The order they preserved and the courtesy they exhibited towards the public were beyond all praise, red be was only too happy to have that opportunity Misting their meant before the house. (Hear. hest-) lord TAUNTON said that eleven years since it was him duty to investigate this grunion of the City police. and so distinct wee the impniesion then left on his plied, that he should sow very much regret if when:eat should not lake the present opportunity to remove exist * anomalies. Lord ovzicsroNE was surprised that such an anomaly as the City pollee should have teem allowed niacin so lug, and he toasted that the present opoortuorty would not Le allowed to peas away without some legulatim measure rp.

RETIREMENT ON HALF-PAY., - - Mr. CONINGHAM asked the Secretary at Sate for War why the royal warrant, dated 28th March, 1861, which preacribre 25 years as a necessary preliminary to the privilege of retiring on half-pay, was departed from in the case of Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Richard Charteris, and whether that privilege had not been refused to other officers Sir G. C. LEWIS mid Colonel Charter is had not retired under the warrant of March, 1861, bet he exchanged with an officer on the half-pay list in aecordanoe with a regula tion which he understood bad bean ruely refused to be applied in the case of of who had been recommended by the comtnander-in-chief. Mr. CONINGHAM mid the right hon. gentleman had not answered the last part of the question. Sir G. C. LEWES maid he wu not aware of any case where it had been refused to any other officer. THE DRESS OF THE WOMEN EMPLOYED AT THE PIMLICO CLOTHING FACTORY. Mr. LEWIS asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was true, se asserted, that an order had been issued by the director of clothing to the women employed at the royal clothing factory at Pimlico, by which they were ordered to provide thinner/Ives with the undermentioned articles by the let of April next, viz.—one black lace cap, trimmed with scarlet ribbon, one Garibaldi jacket of violet llama, and one large jesa apron—the cost of which articles would be lib. at lout, and that those not complying with the order were to be dismissed ; and whether at was true that the average amount earned by those women did not exceed 101. per week. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the adoption of the uniform dress to which his hon. friend referred was purely voluntary. He understood that those workwomen who were willing to adopt it were furnished with • dress which oast them 3s. :id., which they paid for by weekly etoppagte of 3d. Their weekly wages amounted to from 9s. to lOs. the picture which was then shown was as nothing com pared with the real state of the cam.

HOME CIRCIIIT.MAIDEITONI, MARcu 19. CIVIL SlDL— {Bs(ora tba Lord Obirl JEWS!, Cockburn and a Commas Jury.) LISTER T. RAWSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 130/. from the defendant under an agreement entered into, as alleged by the plaintiff, that he should use a steeplechase horse for racing purposes, and that the winnings should be divided between them. The defendant by his pleas denied having made such an agreement as the one smeeted, but he admitted that he had won the sum of W. with the horse in question, and pleaded a set-off for expanses to the amount of UM Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Lanton were =isei for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Garth for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action was Mr. Lieu, the well known trainer of race horses, who has a training estebliab meat at Hednesford Hell, Staffordshire, and the defendant is a horse dealer at Beverley, hi Yorkshire. It teemed that the plaintiff had purchased a mare at the Birmingham Repository, then known by the named of Echo, for bof., 'Lod that he changed her name to Topsy, and that he entered this mare to run for several steeplechase' ; but, as be said, she was " unfortunate " sod only mine in second ; and atlthe time the agreement was entered into that was the ground of the action she had only won two or three hurdle races, but was considered a promising animal. The plaintiff bad been on intimate terms with the defendant tor several years, and, according to his seldom'', the latter came to his establishment in Staffordshire in the mouth of July, 1860, and looked over his stock, and in formed him that he was about to go to Germany, where he did a eousiderable trade in his Maumee as a horse dealer, and he wished the plaintiff to let him take a race horse with him that was likely to win some of the room in that country, as he said it would place him in a better position in his own business if be were known to be the possessor of such an animal, and he desired to have Topsy. The plaintiff represented that be at first refused to let the mare go, as there were many stakes that she was capable of winning in this country, and the defendant offered to give him the whole of the money that she woo. He told him that he knew he could not do that, and he ultimately offered to let the defendant have the mare, undertaking at the same time to run all the risk of any aon- 1 dent or mischief that might happen to her, upon the un derstanding that the defendant should pay all expenses and give him half the winnings. The defendant was re promoted to have mounted to this arrangement, and he took the mare away with his own borne, and she ran at several races. The parties met at York races in August, 1860, and the defendant then stated that the mare had already won 3001., but he said he could not give the plain tiff any money at that time, as he should want it to myth* stakes for other races for which the mare was entered, but he banded the plaintiff a silver cup, which he represented was worth 1001., an his share, and to represent his winnings down to that period. The mare ran at Beyond other races, but not, as it would seem, with any very great success, the largest stake woo by her being at the rates at Baden-Baden, where, it appeared, she was again unfortunate in coming in second, but an it sppeared that the horse that came in first went on the wrong side of the post at the finish, there was • dispute, and in the result the mere re ceived the stakes, which amounted to three hundred and sixty Louis d'on. The " gentleman rider, " this being a emote/ that description, however, when he recived the stakes, claimed six Louis d'ors an his share, and his expenses were likewise paid, iced the result of all the performances of the mare at the different German racecourses was an ad mission, under interrogatories ordered by the court, that the sum she had won was 2891., but anst this there was a set-off for expenses as above stated to the amount of 3501. This set-off was admitted by the plaintiff to be correct, but it was contended that under his agreement he had nothing to do with the expenses, for which the defendant was alone respoeible, and that he was entitled to • clear half of the winnings. The plaintiff was called as a witness, and he swore posi tively to the agreement being in the terms above stated, and he also said that he had ascertained that the silver cup, which was represented by the defendant to be worth 1001., was in reality only of the value of twenty LOWS d'on, and was described as being of that value only is the race for which it was won. In addition to this be said that after the mare came back again to his possession she won the Liverpool Autumn Steeple chase, and several other races, and proved himself to be a vei7 good mare. In cross-examination the plaintiff swore positively that he had sever told the defendant that he was hard up, and wanted to sell some of his horses, and wished him to take the mare to Germany with his own horses, and try and sell her, adding that if he could manage to win • race or two with her it would enhance her value, and he ' denied distinctly that be bad ever authorised the defendant to sell the mare outright for 1001. The plaintiff also said that he bad never sold the mare to Baron Masai!, a Belgian nobleman, for whom he was in the habit of training race ' homes ; and she had recently woe the steeplechase at La Manche races, near Paris, and the baron gave him a pre sent of 1031., and, in addition to the price he received for the maze, there was an undentandiog that he was to con tinue to receive a portion of her winnings. A witness named Arthur Pratt was called, and he stated that he was present when the arrangement was made be tween the plaintiff and the defendant, and he confirmed the version of it that was given by the former. In cross-examination this witness said that he got hie living by travelling about to different races all over the country, sod betting. He had formerly kept • gambling booth at races, but that had given him up. (A laugh.) He knew the plaintiff by meeting him at met, but he was not he friend ;at least he did not profit much by him. (A im ff h.) r. Hawkins, in bin address to the jury, said that in cases of this description they must look to the probabilities of the transaction, and he urged that it would be perfectly absurd to suppose that any parson, and particularly a York shire horse dealer—a clue ofproms who were not generally looked upon as the most aloft§ tif mankind—la laugh).— should ever have entered into such an sgesemeat as the tee suggested by the plaintiff, sad under which it was a moral impossibility that he ever could have reaped any benefit. Everybody at all acquainted with such a subject must be well aware of the expense attending the travelling about with racehorses; and it was admitted that in this instance the expenses were much greater than the amount of the win nings ; and be said that lithe plaintiff were to take the hallo( those winnings the result would be • dead loss to the de fendant. He then said that he should call the defendant, who would tell them what the actual arrangement between them was, and he should then ask them for their verdict. Mr. Hanson, the defendant, was accordingly examined, and he stated that at the time referred to he went to the plaintiff's establishment to look over the young stock, and in the corms of conversation the plaintiff told him that he was desirous of getting rid of some of kis horses, and as he understood he was going to Germany with some of his own honer, he thought that he might possibly be able to dispose of them in that country. He said that the plaintiff at first proposed that he should take three horses, the Deer, Wee Willie, and Topsy, but he refused to have anything to do with the first two, but he agreed to bare Topsy, acid the plaintiff suggested that she would be more likely to fetch a better pries if he was to put her into some race that she would probably win, and it was clearly undershod that the expenses were to be divided between them, and if there was a balance after the expenses were paid that was alto to be divided. The de fendant also swore distinctly that the plaintiff authorized him to sell the mare for 1001. if he could get that auto, but he would not take lees. In pursuance of this arrangement he said that immediately upon his arrival at Hamburg he entered the mare for three races in that city, but she lost them all, and upon his putting her up for sale , only forty Louis d'ors were bid for her, and he b oug ht h er ! in. He also denied positively having represented that the cup he pre the plaintiff was worth 1004, sod he said it ' would have bees absurd ter him to do so, as the value of all the prizes at the different races was published in the ' German Racing Caleadar, sod also in Bell's Life, and every one knew the value of the different plates. He added that ,be had given a-edit for all the money the mare had won, ' and the expenses 'motioned in the iaterrogatories had all ' been actually incurred. In gragg,gainination, the defendant said that there was a dispute about the rue at Baden Baden, where the largest ! stake was woo by the soars daring the racing expedition. ' The value of this strike was nominally 360 Louis d'ors, but when the mare was declared to be entitled to the stakes, Captain Haworth, who rode her, sad who had come from Spa for that purpose, received them as was customary, and be kept 60 for his own services. (A laugh.) The Lord Chief Justice said lie bad always understood that " gentlemen riders" were sot paid. The defendant said that in this case the rider deducted sixty Ludo &ors from the stakes, and he had to pay all his espouses besides. It was not very easy to ge t gen tl e .. • at Baden Bader, and he was obliged to send to Spa for ere. (Laughter.) Serjeant Ballantias, in the course of • most able reply upon the whole ease, said that he accepted the soggestke , his learned friend, th the Jury ought to look at the probe. : lines involved is th at e inquiry before they came to • deci- , eon, and he urged that although it was oertainly bargainim probable that a Yorkshire horse dealer should make a which did eat, upon the fuse of it, sp pear to be a pre/table oar, yet that it was quite as unlikely that a *abler of race-hones should allow any one to take away en animal proved to be of some considerable value, sod do obit he pleased with her, onion there was some probability of his receiving benefit from her per (ormolus. He then reminded them that, according to the ease for the defendant, if the mare had broken her neck the first time she was engaged to run, the plaintiff must have bone all the loss ; and he submitted that it was absurd to suppose that he ever could have intended to make such an arrangement, and that the one for the plaintiff had been completely established. The Lord Chief Justice then summed up the-case to the jury, and he said that really the only question they had to decide was, which 'anion of the sgreement between the partial was the true one. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and were ate unt for nearly two hours. They then returned into court and gave a verdict for the plaintiff, for half the amount of the whinier by the mare, but, upon the application al Mr. Hawkins, his Lordship directed that execution should be stayed. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Luccola, MAReu 18. THE AILiEWICAL POItIONINGS AT II LAZIIAM-LI-1131. These cease were finished late last evening. The Jape Ganser and Blimbeth his wife, were c with having murdered Hannah Garner, the first wife of the male prisoner, on the 28th of March, and Jemima Garner, the mother of the male prisoner, on the 20th of De cember, 1861. Mr. Justice Willem, in ramming up the evidence, told the jut,' that they might find either one or both of the prisoners guilty of murder or manslaughter. If the arsenic was given by either one or both of the prisoners with intention to kill, then one or both were guilty of murder. If the arsenic was taken by and through the culpable and criminal negligence of one or both, then one or both were guilty of manslaughter. The jury found both the prisoners Guilty of manslaughter. The learned Judge, in sentencing the primmer., said that the jury had taken a very merciful view of their case, but that he felt bound to prim upon them the severest sentence of the law. His lordship then sentenced them to penal ser. vitude for life. This case finished the maize business at Linooln. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—H urnwoDoN, MARCH 18. The Lord Chief Ju.tice Erie and Mr. Justice Williams opened the commission yesterday, and attended Divine ser vice. The Lord Chief Justice File sat in the Crown court this morning for the trial of prisonets. None of the cases were of any public interest, and the assizes for the county of Huntingdon were finished at seven in the evening. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSh. Before leaving the couS7,liir R. filmdom, who was sitting yesterday for the Lord Mayor, said, is reference to repre sentations made on the previous day by Mr. Beard, that he had that morning received a communication from a gentle man who was in the house in Lower Theinesatreet, where • person named Robertson who had been advertising for young ladies as governesses gave his address, and as be was highly respectable, he thought it right to make his commu nication public. The letter was addressed to Sir Robert, and was as follows : "90, Lower Thames-street. "Sir,—Noticing an account in the papers of • person under the name of Robertson, whose letters were addressed to the above address, in the cue of Mr. Wiemann, in answer to advertisements inserted in the Times, I beg leave to state that I van the manager of the extensive premises of Mr. Haynes, and that Mr. Wieniann has an office here, and re quested me to take any letters which might arrive for Robertson. I did 60, suspecting nothing, but soon found that a large number of young ladies visited Mr. Robertson. I received a large number of letters, all written by ladies, of which I hold six, which I take the liberty of banding to you, u the proper channel for counteracting the evil design. (Signed) "J. BLANCHARD." Sir R. Carden said he did not know that he should do right in opening the letters, but he should place them in the hands of the police, who would open them if necessary, and he gave instructions that every exertion should be made to bring the man Robertson to jus tice. Some time back he was himself instrumental in punishing • man named Flynn for a similar offence, and he should like to be the means of thoroughly punishing Ro bertson. One letter, however, the seventh, was addressed to him, and was signed "A Poor Governess." en closing a letter which she had received, signed by Robert son, stating that if her references were satisfactory he could procure her an engagement, and holding forth very strong in ducements, stating the salary and duties to be performed, and winding up by stating that his terms were a commission of 4/., to be paid in four months, the fiat IL to be paid in advance by a posteoffice order. There was a postscript to the effect that be would be in London on urgent bunnies, and requestiug • reply to be sent to Mr. Wiemanti, in Lower Thames-street. The letter in which it was enclosed was to the effect that the writer thought the affair must be • swindle, and hoped he (Sir Robert) would prevent the " weaker sex" from being deceived. He (Sir Robert) ►ad no doubt that the other six letters were of • similar character to that enclosed in the one he had read. The letters were all handed to the police-inspector who was in attendance at the justice room, with instructions to make the fullest investi gation, and to communicate with him on the progress that was made. Mr. Pollsky is dill eogaged 'in making inquiries on behalf of the Aesotion for the Protection of Youog Females. SOUTHWARK. In the amine of the morning a deoent.looking young woman waited upon his worship for his adnoe under the following circumstances: . . . Applicant stated that yesterday morning she obtained leave from her mistress fora day's holiday to see her friends. While passing along Union-street a photographic artist ac costed her at a doorway, with a handsome photographic likeness in his hand, telling her that her likeness would be take, in a few minutes similar to that for the sum of one shilling. Being a poor servant and having an old mother and sisters at home, she thought that she could spare a shilling i out of her wages, and that her mother would be p with the likeness. She accordingly consented to ented pay a shilling, and specially engaged that her likeness was to be exactly similar to the oae the man first showed her. As soon as she entered the house and paid her shilling, the photographic artist demanded half-a-crown more, stating that the price was three 'billings and eixpence. She told him that she bad engaged with the young man at the door to pay a shilling only, and that was all she could spare. The man told her that unless she paid him half -a-crown more be would not take her likeness, when the demanded her shilling back. Re refused to return it to her, and threatened to eject her from the house if she did not leave immediately. She became frightened, and as soon as she got out of the house she came to this court for advice. The magistrate told her he could not help her. It wag matter for the County Court. . . . Applicant thought otherwise. She contended that she had been defrauded out of her shilling ; she had since been informed that it was a common practice of this photographic artist. The magistrate told ber that the coodoct of those referred to was disgraceful in the extreme, but the criminal law did not reach them. The; ouly advice be could give her was to take out a summons in the County Court. THE ISLAND OF SAN JUAN. Mr. LONG FIELD asked the Under Secretory of State for Foreign Affairs what progress bad been made towards a settlement of the dispute between the government of Great Britain and the late United States of America, se to the Island of San Juan if any correspondence between the two governments had recently taken place on that subject, and if there was an, objection to lay the same before the house. Mr. LAY Alai said since the breaking out of civil war in the United Stated the communications between her Majesty's government and the government of the United States on the subject had been suspended. No communi °swan Lad recently taken place on the subject, and those that did take place some time ago were not complete, and it would be inexpedient now to place them on the tatdeof the house. ENGLISH NAVAL OFFICERS IN THE CHINESE SERVICE. Mr. ADDINGTON asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty whether the officers of the royal navy, now in the service of the Emperor of China, had received permission from the Admiralty to wear the uniform of her Majesty's navy during the period of such service, and whether there would be any obyectiou on the part of the government to produce a copy of the instructions given to Commodore &s ward Osborn on his proceeding to China. Lord C. PAGET said the officers who were about to perm under the Chinese government were not entitled to wear her Majesty's uniform. With regard to the second part of the question, the Admiralty bad issued no instructions what ever to Commodore Sherard Osborn. lie would be absent on foreign leave from the Admiralty and would retain his half pay, and by an order in council he and other officer. were allowed to serve under the Chinese government Mr. ADDINGTON asked whether the noble lord was aware that the naval uniform was worn by those office's. Lord C. PAGET—I believe that the Emperor of China has eatablished a naval uniform for his officers. (Laughter.) Mr. ADDINGTON asked whether the noble lord was aware that these officers were wearing her Majesty's uniform by direction of Commodore Sherard Osborn. Lord C. PAGET replied that all he could say was they ware not entitled to wear it. KR. ELLIOT'S MISSION TO GREECE. Mr. GREGORY said perhaps he might be allowed to detain the bones a few moments on a personal matter. It would be remembered that the other night, in the noun of the observations be made in the debate on the subject of Greece, he said Mr. Elliot had been sent to Greece, thereby virtually superseding Mr. Scariett ; and be also referred to a report current at one time that it was intended to remove Sir James Hudson from Turin, and to replace him by Mr. Elliot. The observations he made were made in a spirit of candour, and not with any idea of giving offence ; but he was grieved to hear that those observations had given offence to Mr. Elliot's family, and that he had been entirely misinformed as W say intention by the Foreign.office with regard either to superseding Sir James Hudson or replacing him by Mr. Elliot, and that it sever was the intention of the Foreign Secretary to make any such change. He, therefore, ex tremely regretted having made such observations, and that they had given pain to a gentleman who be believed was • honourable and damming =hied of the crown. TOILIOOO DUTIES BILL. Oa the motion for going into committee oo this bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to the boa. member for the Tower Hamlet, not to press his motion for referring this bill to ► easel committee. The effect of sending a financial proposal toe committee upstairs was to shift the responsibility from the finance minister to his permanent advises, the chief officers of the customs and revenue departmeate ; asd if he were disposed, he might sit with folded arms and allow them to tight it out as well as they could. Bat when they bad fought it oat, who was to be responsible for the bill ? The house had uniformly acted on the principle that the minister of the crown alone was to be held responsible for bills of this description, and the result of the proceeding proposed by the hon. member would be, that the house would leas it. hold upon the minister. He deprecated the introduction of a novelty of this kind, which would be productive of great inoo►venience. He had sees deptations from persons connected with the Undo in Scotland and Ireland, who were satisfied with the bill, and certain amendments which he should propose. He believed that the main point on which the constituents of the hon. gentleman differed was oe the question of cigars. He had received that morning a letter from one of the largest houses in London in this trade—Grant, Hodson, and Co., of Feocburchetreet—who stated that they viewed the mote= of the hop member with great apprehension, and that the desire of the trade was that the matter should be settled without delay. In 1844 a committee was appointed on the subject of the duties on tobacco, which commenced its sittings on the 14th of March and made its report on the lat of Au gus t. If the modes of the hoe. geodes= were agreed to, then would be probably about the same time occupied by the proposed committee. Mr. AYItTON said that nothing would give him greater pleasure personally than to accede to the right hon. gentle man's request, but be did not think he should be justified in so doing. He denied that the coarse he propped was is substance a reel proceeding. A committee bad mat on the sugar duties, and soother committee to consider the (natura lism of what were called vexatious duties, the small della on commerce, and the committee on that subject decided against the former judgment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He thought there was really good grounds for asking the house to agree to the amendment. The right boo. gentle man bad from time to time altered his measure, and even now, at the eleventh hour, he announced that he had a new change to propose which he hoped would contest the hoc. gentleman le. If, therefore, the government had so often they had been in error, he (the hon. member) hada right to sr, on behalf of the thou ! sande whom the bill would ruin, that they should at least have an opportunity of being heard. He was glad the Chas , (allot of the Exchequer had at length abandoned his war cry of free trade, which deprived so many men of their reams mid their judgment. (Hear, beer.) The right hon. !gentle men admitted that the Eighth manufacturer had • right to have an equivalent allowed him proportioned to the lose sod difficulty which he had to encounter in carrying on his briers under an oppreesive combination of genie age boo.lotis and taxation. The questioa was whether the right gentleman's proposal fairly represented the peculiar disadvantages under which the British manufacturer , laboured. The right hoe. gentleman said, "Let us go into , committee and discuss that question ;" bet be (Mr. Ay r t mo ) ' said, " Let us go into • committee where we can drseor that question." (Hear, hear.) He considered that a oar. mittee of the whole house would sot be able to come to a fair or honest decision, for how mold it judge between the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the counter statements which be (Hr. Ayrton) should have to make ? Let them send the bill to • select oommth tee, where the persons interested could appear and state I their own case—a case which wa• far too complex to be judged of without taking and carefully weighing all the evidence. Oo • former occasion be Lad been charged with offering unreal tao. But prophecies t ot distress to be ' cared by re e ld ' is ua the i t egala hbe re ted, which showed t a ll; be had conjured up no idle phantoms. Os that °on ! @ion he was told that Lancashire would absorb the labour of every idle man ; sad that the idea of weavers being left unemployed was absurd. Bat where was the prosperity of Lam:admire now? (Hear, hear.) Before those men mold hare been absorbed by the industry of the north they would hare bees destroyed ; and but for the exertions of clergymen and other benevolent persons, who sent them to other parts of the world, they would bar been numbered amongst the pauperised recipients of public bounty io Manchester—if, ia&s,d, thew remained in the land of the living at all. (Hear, bear.) Were these times is I which to run the risk of ereanag minsoessary suffering? The right hoe. gentlemse had acted es the classical motto, " Divide at ispara," and having satisfied the manufactories of leered and lleetraid. be might think he could do what he pleased with 2,000 or 3,000 promos in Eng lead who bad but one or two representatives. But be (Mr. Anion) appealed to the jade:meet of the bore whether they would Dot lines to the cry of these unfortu nate peters?

A 'lit7 - 11; time ago • leading joined had thought fit to lift the edge ef the curtain just to give the nice Inalienable pm* of London some idr of what was going on is the north ; but • CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELHOTIONS BILL The house then, in oommittee, resumed the eassideretion of the clauses of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill. An alteration, proposed by Sir G. GREY, in the wording of th e ei g hth clause, giving protection to a witness required by a committee or commimuoners to answer a question or questions that might tend to criminate him, was egreed to, after a short debate. The remaining clauses in the bill IMO likewise agreed to. Various new chimes, of whir& notice had been given, were discussed, none of them being adopted, except A clause moved by Mr. PULLER, rendering any person convicted of bribery, treatieg, or undue Menem,. at an election, or against whom judgment shall have been ob tained for any penal sum recoverable under the Corrupt Practices Prevention Acts in respect of any such offence, incapable of being °laded or sitting in parliament for five years: and . - moved by Mr. HUNT, providing for the pay ment of the costa of commissioners of inquiry by the county, borough, or place where the coramismou was held to inquire into the extensive prevalence of bribery, treat ing, or other corrupt practice@ at an election, in oases where the commissiooeni shall have reported that much practices did extensively prevail.

This bill was reed a mooed time. MUTINY BILL. In answer to Mr. HENTSY, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the Indian Mutiny Act was embodied in this bill. The European troops in India bad hitherto been subject to a separate Mutiny Act which was embodied in the present bill. On clause 23, which relates to the corporal punishment at eoldi Mr. P.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MARca 19. APPEALS. 1100RROURR V. LORD. This part•haud appeal was concluded to-day, having occupied a considerable time in the argument. It was an appeal from a decree and several orders in the Court of Chancery made by Vice-Chancellor Kindersley. The ques tion involved turns on the disposition of the personal estate of Dr. Peter Cochrane, who was a native of Scotland, bat for 40 years in the Bengal medical establishment of the East India Company. The questions raised by the appeal are in substance, firstly, whether Peter Cochrane, the testa tor, ever went throh any ceremony of marriage with Redeem Seabee, in Wia. Secondly, if so, whether such ceremony amounted to a legal marriage. Thirdly, whether, if the evidence was sufficient to establish the marriage, sash a prima facie cane was not made out as entitled the appel lants (Susan Moorhouse being admitted to be a child of the testator by Raheem Beebe.) to an order on their appli cation for a commission to India to take further evidence in support of the alleged marriage. Fourthly, whether the testator was not domiciled in France at the date of his will sod time of his decease, or at one of those penods. Filthily, whether the bequest of 12,5004 in favour of Susan Moor home contained in former wills, not expressly revoked by the last will, was revoked by such last wilL The court below held that there was not sufficient evidence of any •marr•age of the testator with Raheem Beebe., and no such prima facie case as entitled the appellants to a communion to obtain further evidence in support thereof - that the tes tator was domiciled in Scotland at the date of his will and time of his decease ; and that his last will had the effect of entirely revoking his former ones, although it did not wel kin any express clause of revocation. The noble and learned lords before whom the case wee argued—namely, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Kingedown-1101, delivered their opinion without bearing the counsel for the respoodenta, unanimously affirmed the decision of the court below, and dismissed the appeal with ante.

There is tittle doing m bright-haired sorts. Prices, how ever, are very firmly maintained. There is a steady kW riemdoing in yarns. The home merchants are not operat ing to a large extent. They are very cautions in their operations. port merchants are doing rather more, parti cularly in Ws. There has been a good atteudauce in the piece market, which, under the iodoence of the advises by the Jura, wears • more cheering aspect. Lujeni to- day find firmness in the place of the weakness which pm vaded three or four days peat. The home merchants am doing rather more business. There is a good business in plain goods, particularly Cohurge. The Ame rican trade presents no opportunity for special remark. Fancy makers are now turning their atten tion to novelties for autumn ; until these are shown to the trade little can lie expected in this branch. There is, however, still • good detnend fur some kinds of limos. The reaction which has set in must be ascribed to the American news, in which the majority of rtes chests seem to see evidence of a longer and more protracted struggle than accounts previously received led them to ex pect. Prices are not materially changed, rod though firm, are not higher than last week. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrreoosa, if LAC. 19.
