IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THOBSDAT, FAL 13. In the Roos, of LORDS yesterday the Marquis of CIAXILICAZDII gave notice of his intention to re introduce his bill of last year with regard to land tenure in Ireland. The house only sat a few minutes. HOUSE OF COMMONS: —THUSSMAY, FEB. 13. IN the Horsa of CONWONS notice was given by Mr. Huoieas of his intention to re-introduce his Metropolitan Sunday Trading Bill, by Mr. DODSON of his intention to call attention to the subject of private bill legislation, and by Mr. LEFEVER that he will, on the 4th March, all attention to our relations with the United States in reference to the Alabama claims. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Baxter, stated that he will bring in the scotch Reform Bill on Monday next ; and in reply to Sir H. Barron, that the Irish Reform Bill will be brought in on an early day. The Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill was read a second time after some obser vations from Mr. Milner Gibson, but who withdrew his opposition on receiving an assurance from Lord Robert Montagu that the bill should be referred to a select committee. The Public Departments (Extra Receipts) Bill was read a second time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQVER moved for leave to bring in a bill for amending the laws re lating to election petitions, and providing more effectually for the prevention of corrupt practices at elections. After tracing the course of legisla tion! on controverted elections fromprenville a Act, passed 70 years ago, to the act of 1848, he stated that the present system being deemed unsatisfac tory, a bill was brought in last year to amend it, which provided that these matters should be re ferred to another tribunal, which should make its investigations on the spot. That bill was referred to a select committee, who approved of the trans fer of jurisdiction, but were of opinion that it should be transfe rred to the Court of Queen's Bench. Government had at one time determined to bring in a bill in strict unison with the recom mendations of the select committee, but it was not in his power to fulfil that intention. They had communicated with the judges, who objected tothisdutybeing put on them on constitutionaland personal grounds, and also because it would be impossible for them to fulfil the duty without neglecting their other duties. What he proposed was to appoint a new tribunal consisting of three members of the legal profession, with a salary of 2,0001. a year each, and that the decisions of re rising barristers should also be referred to kthat tribunal. Mr. liteareargi objected to the transfer of the jurisdiction to the judges. At present the judges possessed the public confidence, but they would not retain it if they were made arbiters in political matters. Sir F. GOLDRIIID suggested that the most effec tual means of putting down bribery would be to give the seat to the detested candidate who had not bribed. Mr. Warreetoe thought it monstrous to suppose that they could not constitute a satisfactory tribunal out of the members of the house, and pointed out that an improvement might be wide by the chairman of the committee being appointed by the committee of selection. Sir R. COLLIER thought it a matter for grave consideration whether the house should part with its jurisdiction if the judges could not undertake it. Mr. SANDFORD was opposed to the house parti with its jurisdiction, but suggested that assessors should be appointed. Mr. Lowe remarked that the judges were bound to perform the duties if they were imposed upon them, and if there were not sufficient judges their numbers might be increas,al. Lord CRAXIIOItNE considered government bad taken a right course in listening to the representa tions of the judges. He did not think that the judges would long retain the confidence of the public if political duties were thrust upon them. Sir R. PALMER pointed out that it would be im possible that the judges could perform this duty along with their other duties, and especially imme diately after a general election, when there was always a great number of petitions. Mr. Hisittav observed that if the house pixta with its jurisdiction in these matters it wouU in a few years be at the mercy of the House of Lords, inasmuch as the decisions of inferior courts of law always came in the end to the superior. Mr. AYRTON expressed his disapproval of the proposed tribunal. Mr. Bouveme did not think the present tri bunal as bad as had been represented. Mr. BERKELEY looked upon the taking sway the jurisdiction of the house in these matters as taking a leap in the dark. Mr. Gioeirrose thought the government were not to blame for not bringing in the bill, as they were bound to bring the matter to au issue. He would not give a decided opinion as to the transfer of jurisdiction, but said, as long as election petitions were tried by the house, they must prefer the advantage of local inquiry. Mr. BRIGHT observed that as long as they . bad small constituencies and open voting bribery would prevail, and that there was no remedy but larger constituencies and open voting. The discussion was continued by Mr. Locke, Mr. Bonham Carter, Mr. Goldney, and Mr. D. Griffith ; after which leave was given to bring in the bill, and the house adjourned at 23 minutes to 8 o'clock. CAPTAIN VIVIAN, M.P., AND TUN hien Qtrze- TION.—The lion. Captain Vivian, member for Truro, has returned from Ireland, aud the following is Lis repo rt to his constituency of his experiences :—" I have spent some weeks in the country, and my experience tells me, and I say it with satisfaction, that Finial:dint is not deeply mated. Fenianism, afte r all, is nothing but a servile war, brought by some wretabed hish-Yankees from across the Atlantic, men who have the courage of a mountebank rather than • bravo, making bombastic speeches in America, and coming here and murdering poor innocent women and ohildron. Men who don't can to show their faces by day, but stab people in the dark at night, and under the garb of patriotism commit deeds to wake one's blood run could—male every honest man determined to crush them. Rut I should be doing wrong if I said that discontent does not exist in Ireland, and very justly so. lam a protestant and as earnest in my belief - as any man in the world, but the position of the Irish church as it exists at present in Ireland is, I believe, unjust to the Irish people. Even the interests of protestantiun suffer from th e present pocition of affairs." With regard to the tenant-right question, the hon. gen tleman thought some system of leases might give the tenants that security which they desired. He found that some of the Irish labourers ware earning only Gs. weekly— surely then there was ample cause for disc( utent. Ireland was poor because there was no circulation n: money, which was caused chiefly by absenteeism. he knew one large estate that produced 50,000/. • year, not one farthing of which was spent in the country. Upon the next estate, which was of about equal value, the owner resided, and • more prosperous, happy, and contented people than the tenantry on that estate were not to be found in Ireland. LORD HENRY Sim morw'a WILL.—THE LONDON CHARITIZIK—Yesterday, at the Rolls Chambers the ease of Lord H. Seymour's will in reference to the charities of London, recently before the Londe Justices, came on be fore Mr. 1, the chief clerk, when • number of soli eaters attended to claim participation in the munificent bequest of his lordship to the ' hospices • of Paris and London. When the matter was before the Master of the Rolla there were as marry as "172" claimants, and of that number "141 " were disallowed, leaving only 31 to partici pate in the large sum left by the will, Mr. Greaten: had been appointed solicitor for those charitiss,and bad attended in respect to the institutions to be admitted by the judgment of the Lords Justices, giving extension to the word " hospice " which the Master of the Hells had not given. Mr. Greatorex informed the chief clerk that ca Monday last a meeting bad been held at the Law Insti tution of the solicitors regimenting the varicms ehld e gt and he bad the satisfaction to state that it was r that there should be no appeal to the House of Lords from the decision of the Lords Justices and that inunerHate steps be adopted for the factreattal of the fund.

Although the speculation that took place today was not remarkable either for amount or extent, some new fea tures, investing the proceedings with • special interest, were introduced. For the Lincolnshire Handicap, King Charming progressed in • very satisfactory manner • 9to 1 was asked for, and at those odds would ha v e been backed freely. Failing this price, 8 to 1 was occasionally taken, and although at the finish 100 to 12 was in a solitary in. stance offered, the shorter quotation was the utmost to be had to money. Purveyor also went well, as, after all the 100's to 8 had been snapped up, 11 to 1 was taken. Cur, Grey Stocking, Indigestion, and Rhine Wine occu p ied about the same positions as on the previous day. Leases was in considerable demand, and at 25 to 1 would have met with substantial support. 200 to 9 was booked, but the current limit of offers was 20 to 1. Went Palatine received bis quietus by the laying of 100 to 1 against him. Skirmish and Feeder were backed to some extent at 100 to 3 each • indeed, 100 to 4 was once or twice laid against the .latter, but the price first mentioned represents his position more nearly. The moat remarkable incident in connection with this race was the retrogression of Hamby, who after being supported at 15 to 1, rapidly receded to 25 to 1 offered. For the Liverpool Grand National, The Lamb, who has been quiet for some time, met with friends in several directions, the numerous investments on him I bringing him to 20 to 1, taken freely, and more money have gone on at this price, but the o ff ers now became reduced to 100 to 6. Lord Coventry's and Mr. Barber's lots were in about equal request, 2001. or there abouts being laid out on each at Bto 1. Simultaneously with these movements Chimney Sweep , and Helen were in dividually !supported at 25 to 1, and this pries was not to be obtained without some difficulty. Tusoulanum after being backed at 100 to 7 was laid and o ff ered against at 20 to 1. For the City and Suburban 1,000 to 25 was accepted about The Breach, and the backer would have accepted the same bet again. Nothing was done on the Chester Cup. Oa the Two Thousand there was very little speculation, 100 to• 40 was laid against Roderucian, and offers of 5 to 2 became, in the course of the morning, pretty, plentiful. Typhcens had an equal amount of hostility and favour shown him at 100 to 6.

Mr. Gordon had been expected to return to hit place in the Cambridge boat, and his lose will be deeply felt in aquatic circles at Cambridge. The Oxford crew took • long sweat to Sandford and back this afternoon for the third time, the men being the same as yesterday, coached by Mr. W. W. Wood from the stern of the boat. They started doing about 34 strokes per minute, but on the return rowed leisurely home, decreasing the pace to 2xt. Their time and swing are remarkably good, and the utmost satisfaction is expressed on all sides at the sales tion of the worthy president. RACQUET MATCH AT ETON COLL/AL—EY= v.

Bitting, at NW Priam at Guildhall—(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) C3OULIT If. ILWOISTIIT. This was an action against the defendant for having by false and fraudulent statements induced the plaintiff to take shares and debentires in • certain company, while it was in an insolvent state. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and other pleas denying his liability. Mr. Serjeant Ilallanty_ne, Mr. Joeeph Brown, Q.C., Mr. Philbrith, and Mr. H. T. Atkinson were counsel for the plaintiff ; the Attorney-Os:nerd, Mr. Hellish, Q.C., and Mr. Lord were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff was Mr. Joseph Crossley, • member of the well-known firm of John Crossley and Sons, carpet manu facturers, Halifax, and the brother of Sir Francis Crossley, Bart.. M.P. for the West Riding of Yorkshire ; and the defendant was Mr. Frederick Thomas Elworthy, managing director of the London and Colonial Company (Limited), which was now being voluntarily wound under the supervision of the Court of Chancery. It apveared that the company was formed in 1859 by maws random and articles of association for the of purehaaing and carrying on the business P IT. Robert Tooth, a hop merchant and brewer of porter end ale et Burton-on-Trent and North Woolwich. The nomi nal capital wee 1150,0001., divided into 1,600 shares, of 1001. each. Mr. Tooth was to receive 40,0001. for his freehold and lcaosheld premises at Burton and North Woolwich; 5,0001. for the goed-will of the business and 15,710/. 12s. Id. for the stock-in-trade • or • total of 60,7101, 12s. Id. That arrangement we: carried out by having allotted to him 450 fully paid-up shares, repre senting 45,0001., and by his re.thivieg 15.7101.125.1e1. in the acceptances of the company, which were ultimately paid. Seven persons signed the erticles of association. Mr. Tooth, who was appointed chairman of the company ; Mr. Edward Gilding, who took 50 shares and woo waisted brewer • Mr. Ch a rles Tooth, who took 40 shares, and was appointed local manager ; Mr. John Blower, who we 36 shares, and became load director ; and three other (MAIO men, who took one share each. The company commensed business in Nov., 1859, and continued in operatics until the 2nd of March last year, when an order was made for it. winding op. The particular period to which this investigation chiefly referred was the Ist July, 1865, when the company issued a prospectus and Wanes-sheet. It Deemed that Sir Francis Crawley was co-treats* with Mr. Elworthy for the benefit of Mrs. , Elworthy, end became ßlworthy, intimate with him in that way. Oa the 13th of June of that year Mr. Elworthy wrote to Sir Francis urging him to invert money in the company. He represented that the company had been working moons fully for six years ; that they were not in want of say tem porary assistance, but wished to have permanent capital to supply the place of temporary capital which they is ! tended to dispense with ; that their debentures yielded 6 per cent, per annum, and were convertible at the optics of the holder into fully paid up 1001. shares ; and that the shares bad received an uniform dividend of 12i per cent. Nothing was done upon that letter, but on the Ist July the company published a prospectus in which the following passage occurred; "The large and growing demand for Burton ales at home and abroad can only be met by • greater supply, and one of the valuable incidences of this company is that, by a very moderate outlay in the existing plant, it will be at once capable of doubling its pre sent production without any further expellee in management, and with very little incise.e in the cost of labour." It was next stated in the same document that the past working of the company had re sulted in • uniform dividend of 121 per cent per annum each year up to the 24th of Jane, 1864, and in accumulated undivided profits amounting to 80,2801. Is. 3d., as shown by the balance-sheet, and that the past profits of the company bad been suffi cient to warrant the prediction of its making good dividends for the future. On the Bth of July Mr. Elworthy again wrote to Sir Francis, stating that they had received as . many applications for the new abuse they proposed to =tie as they could expect, but that the com pany did not appear so well on the surface as it would on close and careful examination, and mentioning that they had not seen any triplication from Mr. Joseph Crossley. the previous oorreepondence, Sir Francis had l alluded to his having spoken to his brother, who had some capital toinveat , on the subject of the shave. The end of the matter was that Mr. Joseph Crossley applied on the 19th of July for 5001001. shares, and on the 31st that number was allotted to him. He pfd 150/. m ax :hare, or • total sum of 25,0001. In following Mr. F)worthy sent another letter to Sir Francis, stating that his brother, in New Zeeland, wanted 5,0001. to purchase some more land in that colony, but that he bad himself no more money to ware to advance him, and he would be glad to deposit 4coool. of debentures in the company with Sir Francis if he would advance him 5,0001. upon his promissory note, a which he would pay 6 per cent. interest. Sir Francis spin communicated with his brother, and without halts- Um the plaintiff lent the defendant the 5,0001. upon the security of the debentures, which were wholly valueless, and subsequently an additional 1001. In the letter asking for the loan, the defendant said his interest in the com pany reached nearly 40,0001., that be had received 41,000 f. out of it, and that he should not think of parting with any of his interest in the undertaking. Mr. &Omani Ballentine in opening the case, said that the representations of th ei defendant in his letters, and the statements in the report of the directors as to the sound and prosperous condition of the company were wholly fallacious, that the losses enormously exceeded the profits nearly every year, and that the dividends had always be® paid out of capital. Mr. Joseph Crossley had not only lost the 25,0001. he had paid on has shares, but • similar s® for calls, making • total loss of 50,0001. in connection with the oompan r lade ndently of the money advanced to the defendant . He had taken shares on the strength of certain statements which had lathed' out to be fraudulent, and he felt he was performing • public duty and benefiting the community at large by bringing the matter before a jury and having the whole circumstances exposed. Mr. Arthur Cooper, of the firm of Cooper accountants in the City of London, said that in I Jaw ha a he was instructed by the plaintiff to investigate the boas and account. of the company. It was then in the MUSS of being wound up, and he attended at the Meth of the liquidator and snide an investigation into the hikes, of the company from its formation, with particular redisoses to the prospectus and balance-these of June, ISM Ho said the annyeay sold very little, If any, beer in biro'. and that Unix trade was almost entirely export, tin hilW fel eaurstits withagetralia.

A big, surly-looking mulatto, named Janes Stevenson, was brought up on remand, charged with steeling a watch and chain from the person of William Daniel Sharp, a gentleman's coachman oat of employment. It appeared that on Monday evening, about 8 o'clock, the complainant was passing along We llington-street, to- wards aterloo-bridge with his clothes-box on his book. He had just left a situation, and was going by the South Western Railway from Waterloo to his own home at Add;estone, Surrey. As he was passing Lancaster-place the prisoner and two others were lurking about the stairs, and were noticed by poliosman Terry, 176 F, who r as on special duty in private clothes, and Mr. Charles Carter Palley, the deputy-superintendent of special constables for the Co vent-garden district. The two other men came behind the prosecutor, laid hold of his box, and endeavoured to pull it away. While the prosecutor's attention was thus occupied, the prisoner snatched away his watch and chain and bolted with it. The others also took to their heels. Terry and Mr. Palley ran slier the prisoner, who threw away the watch, the glass of which was broken on the flagstones. One of his companion.' snatched up the watch, and carried it of. The prisoner was overtaken by Mr. Palley, who handed him over to the custody of Terry. The prisoner was tried at the last Newington Sessions for a similar cfanoe, but acquitted. The prisoner, after cress-examining the witnesses with considerable ingenuity, finding that he could not shake their evidence, told the learned magistrate that he did commit the robbery, end said that he did it beams* he was hungry. He was remanded. William Cook, James Whetstone, labourers, and Edward Charles Davis, a surveyor and special constable, were charged before Mr. Arnold with being drunk and assault ing the landlord of the Admiral %appal public-house, Fulham-road. They were Bret charged with creating a distort:ones, bat this being very vague, Mr. Arnold ordered it to be amended as above. Mr. James Hughes, the landlord, said—About half-nest six last evening soy attention was called to • disturbance in the bar. The prisoners and two other men were toge ther, mach the worse for liquor. I told them to leave, when Davie said, " I am a special," and showed me his staff. I told him for that reason be should keep order. Cook said, "It you come here, I'll give you something, and your barman, too." I went to eject him, and he 'track at me, and I asked Davis, as he was • special, to amidst me, but he pat his arms round me and pulled me on my back. We got the prisoners out of the bowie ; the other two escaped. Whetstone came Woes next compartment, again took up a halt-quartern measure, and threw it at my eon's wife. He then went to the further end of the house, picked up some stones, re entered, and threw several stones at me. I produce them. He threw them from the outside. Some bit the door, and some Game in. Davis was in the house at the time, and I again asked him to waist me, but he refumed, and said, " I shall rot." Davis and Whetstone were taken in the house, the other outside. Mr. Arnold said Davis was not fit to act as • e constable, and banded his warrant to the pollee. gt! ordered to enter into recognisancee to keep the pesos for six months; Cook the same, and Whetstone was fi ned 20e., or 14 days' imprisonment.

There is a good demand for all choice sorts of wool, and the scarcity of then If every day becoming more apparent. Staplers are able in many cases to obtain a elizht advance upon previous rates, but the amount of business doing is not very large. A fair business has aloe. Monday been done in various counts of worsted yarns, in singles as well as twofolds, and spinners to-day are generally seeking higher rates. The instances in which an advance has been realised, however, are only few. The hardening tendency of wool obliges the spinner to hold oat for an advance. His position I. by nomeana improved, because be cannot realise an advance which is equivalent to the rise in wool. A fair amount of business has been done in pieces, and some good orders have been booked, both for home and export. The improvement, however, is far from general, and whenever manufacturers try to raise their quotations they at once find an detach, to business. Some incline to the opinion that the present improvement is only tempo- rary. There is a disposition to speculate in the upward tendency of raw material. There IA no alteration in the former condition of things, which so tended to inactivity. Corn is deer, and there is no improvement in the demand for America. Though the accounts from the States are more favourable, the American merchants have not received any orders, and an quite inactive.

PARENTS FESTIVAL AT nil GRAY'S-INN HALL.— Last night the committee of the Fox-court Ragged Schools, Gray's-inn-road , held a parents' festival in th e Gray's-inn-hall, which was lent for the occasion by the benchers of the inn. Several hundred married men and women sat down to • substantial supper of roast beef, plum pudding, and coffee ; and while they were regaling a police band performed several airs. The supper lasted an hour. A number of ladiesand gentlemen were present. After the tables were cleared a meeting was held, Mr. Wigg in the chair, when addresses urging the necessity of educating the children of the poor were delivered. A RICH BZOOLR. —At the Mansion-house, yes. terday, Sarah Moses, • diminutive old woman of who was almost deaf, was brought up on • charge of begging. A police-constable saw her soliciting alms in Threadneedle street, and when apprehended she had Is. sd. in her pos. sersion. It was stated that she had been previously brought before the court on four or five occasions, but had always been given up to her friends, who stated that she was not under the necessity of begging, and who promised to keep her at home. It appeared, however, that she had con tracted a habit of going about the streets, and it was with great difficulty that she was prevented from constantly doing so. Partridge, the offioer of the court, said she had on one occasion lodged at has house, and be believed she bad 500/. or 600/. in the Bank. Sir Robert Carden said u her friends had failed to keep her from the streets he should order her to be well taken care of for 21 days. He would therefore send her to Holloway for that period, i and any money to which she might be entitled he directed to be applied to her maintenance.
