OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. Mr. LINDSAY gave notice that, on the motion for going into committee of supply oa the Flth of June, be Mould submit a resolution in regard to the relation' of this oceintry with the Federal States of America and the Confederate Stites. TIIE WRECK OF THE MARS STEAMER. Mr. D. FORTESCUE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether hie attention had been called to the fact, as alleged, that no inquest bad been held on auy of the bodies washed ashore on the vest of Pembrokeshire, fro:1 the wreck of the Mara stoamer, in Aprd last; and tntyliry had been instit:nteditite the cannel that led to thativati!m. Sir G. GREY said he wrote to the coroner to inqMre why no inquest had been held ; but the reply wu that there were very few survivors, he thought six, and that they had all kit Pembrokeshire before the bodice of those who had been drowned were washed on shore, and there was no evidence that could have been submitted to a jury beyond that of the mere finding of the bodies. With regard to the official inquiry, the reasonjof none having Lien made was that the survivors were hardly in • condition to give an opinion as to the management of the ship. THE MURDER OF IL THIEBAULT. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether soy, and how many, extra pollee were or would be stationed at or mar the spot where the late M. Thiebault was murdered ; what was the estimated cost of such extra force, sod would it be charged on the occupiers of soy, and will,* particular towalseds. Sir R. FEEL said the government bad sent down ten extra policemen to the locality where M. Thiebault was assassinated. The estimated cod of sash man was S.V. per annum, parable in advance. As lose en these men were stationed there the cost of their minimisee would be charged on the towidends is the vicinity, but of course the towaland of Rockville would not be charged, because it was the property of the murdered man. THE REPORT OF THE DEFENCE COMMISSION. Mr. GREGORY asked the Secretary of State for War if the evideees taken before the Defeoce Commusioaere would be laid before the home together with the report ; and, if so, when? Sir G. C. LEWIS said the report was presented in the lid instance without the evidence, because it was thought the house wished to see it immediately. Bat the °video°e was in the hands of the printers, and would in a short time be laid on the Wile of the house. EKENCH AND ENGLISH IRON-CASED VESSELS. Mr. LINDSAY asked the First Lord of the Treasury if • he bad any objection to lay on the table of the house a return of the number of boa-cased vessels built and build ing, or in course of conversion, for the use of her Majesty's navy ; and • copy of the list in the poessmion of her Ma jesty's government, of the thirty-six boa cased ships said to , be built or building for the government of France, with the state of progress and tonnage of each vessel, as far as ; practicable, and in both cases distinguishing ens-going ships from floating batteries' Lord PALMER-SlGN—There can be no objection to laying on the table of the house • return of the number of : iron-cased weasels built sad buikii or in course of con version, Lir the nee of her Majesty ' s s navy, when they were launched or when they were expected to be launched, as far as the Admiralty can furnish that information. With regard to the iron-clad ships in the French service there will also be no difiloulty, I believe, in laying before the house from the Foreign-office documents the number and names of ships which are built and building, and the plate where those ships were launched. With regard to the particular , state of of each vessel lam not sure we have the means giving such details. Perhaps the French &cu. meats may give the time when those that are not yet launched may be expected to he launched. Mr. LINDSAY asked if it were the ease that a special document was given by the French goverement to Lord Cowley, with the request that Captain Gower, the naval aide-de-camp to the embassy at Parrs, might go and examine for himself. if the noble lord had any such document, would he lay it on the table of the house ? Lord PALMERSTON said Captain Gower had bad every facility given him to visit the French arsenals and dockyards, but he was not aware that any specific document had been given him. SUPPLY OF IRON FOR THE NAVY. Lord R. GROSVENOR asked the Secretary of the Ad miralty whether, considering the great importance which &Schee to the quality of iron, both for building and for plating ships, the government proposed to take any new steps for !securing a supply of iron for the purposes of the navy of the Lest quality' Lord C. PAGET said the question of the noble lord was one of considerable importance, and he would endeavour to state what the Admiralty was doing in respect to the iron for the supply of the navy. Hitherto the contracts for iron had been of • very simple description, but as they had progressed with building iron ships, and espe cially iroo.caseflehips, the Admiralty thought fit to take into their 000sideration the Lest means of obtaining the best quality of iron, and they had, with a view of issuing fresh contracts, given notice to close all their contracts for iron, and they were going to call together some of the most min. salt men who were acquainted with the various qualities of boo to suit them in preparing 1001 mm by which they might issue tenders for contracts, giving minute details as to strength of iron, and the various qualities required for plating vesse ls, sad for iron yards and masts, sod stating the test that would be applied, and he might say that the teat they meant to exact would In no cue be departed from. He trusted that in the course of the autumn they would be prepared to issue tenders, which would apes the trade as far as possible with a view to getting the beet quality of iron for shipping par. paws. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND. - - Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Chief Searebuy for Ireland whether any rule had been framed by the National Board of Education in Ireland which permits the use of prayer at the opening of a school and dunng school hours, or the post ing of the Ten Commandments in the school 1 Sir R. PEEL said if the right hon. gentleman would refer to yoke 12, 14, and 16, he would find that they per mitted the use of prayer at the opening of schools and during schools hours after the ordinary school business was closed. The managers of schools were not required to ex clude from prayer any child; but the children whose parent, or guardians objected to their remaining miOit with draw. As regarded the Ten Commandments, they might be bang up in the school. CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. Mr. HENNESSY eked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the government had takes aa7 steps to carry out the recommendation of the select conmottee on civil service appointmeats, to the effect " that the experiment of open competition for junior clerkships, tried at the hid's, Board in 1850, be repeated from time to time in the other depart ments of the civil service." Lord PALMERSTON said the present arrangement for taking the examinations was this ; the candidates; were examined in the first place up to a standard test to see whether they had what might be called the minimum qualifi cation, and then the usual practice was that for liTel7 vacancy three candidates should be submitted to competitive ex amination. It was not the intention of government to widen the range of competition, nod he thought there was good reason for not doing so. If this competitive examina tion were thrown masa to all camera the result might be that for ten vacancies indeed of thirty competitors there might be 300, the result of which would be to spread over a wider surface the disappointment which wax the inevitable con sequence of even the limited competition which took place at present. He thought it would be a hard thing to allow a whole troop of young men to compete for a small number of vacancies, diverting them from occupations in private life, in which they might hod a profitable career. Mr. WARNER asked the noble lord what became of the two utumccessful candidates. Could they compete for the next vacancy? Lord PALMERSTON said that would depend on the discretion of the head of the department where the vacancy was. If there was reason to think that the two unsuomesful candidates were well qualified, though not so well au the one who obtained the place, they might be allowed a second trial, but they bad no right to it. THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS. Mr. WALPOLE naked when it woo proposed to adjourn far the Whitsuntide kolidays, and fur how long the at journalist would be ? Lord PALhIERSTON Paid it was usual not to sit on the Derby day, which would be next Wednesday, and therefore naturally from Tuesday to Tnuratliy, they should adjourn and seeing there ass only one remaining day, and that was a volunteer day, he should propose that they should ad journ from Thursday, the sth, to Thursday, the Lath of June. POOR-LAW (IRELAND) No. 2 BILL The hones then went into committee on this bill, and progress was resumed at clause 9. A protracted discussion and several divisions took place on this clause, turning on the point whether outdoor relief 'ball be given to young children, either by being sent "to nurse or otherwise—the latter words being the gist of the argumentation. The result was that the committee ulti mately agreed to retain the words "or otherwise." sod to allow orphan children to rebeivoiritifriom relief up to the age of eight years instead of five. A long dimmed= also ensued on clause 10, relating to the religion in which deserted children should be brought up ; and upon a division it was agreed that their rohgtsn should he that of the person in whose care they were im mediately prior to their admission to the workhouse.

TO THR EDITOR OF THE ZIFSISS. Sur,—After the enormous expenditure the nation has been put to in the fabrication of the Armstrong gun—according to Mr. B. Osborne three millions of money—the system of welding coils has failed, and the celebrated gun at Shoeburynees is pronounced unserviceable. Surely it is time for the nation and parliament to demand explanation on this subject, and on the unwise contract made before the principle was sufficiently tested.—l am, Are., PRO BONO PUBLICO.

(room AN OCCASIONAL A select committee of the Middle Level Commis sioners—viz., Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Martin, with their clerk, Mr. Wise, and their surveyor, Mr. Lunn, proceeded on the 25th inst. to St. Germaine, and returned at night ; but nothings known of their views and intentions. The work of damming proceeds very slowly, and the impatience of those whose property is submerged, or is in peril, is very great. To dam up the water is • work of easy accom plishment, and I heard two able men say that they would undertake to execute it in • week. But the point is, would not the consequences be more disastrous than at present! There is, I think, but one wise measure that can be adopted. That is, to draw off the water in the Middle Level Cut by s lateral cut on the eastern side into the Ouse at a higher point, in the same direction as Tongue Cut takes ; but this is • work of magnitude, and would require long time. Yet those who desire quick results will be surely disappointed ; and those who go to St. Germain]; next year will see the same broad lake. DEPARTURE OP COLONISTS FOR ALBRITLAND. An interesting scene took place yesterday at the East India Docks, Blackwell, on the occasion of the em barkation of the first thousand colonists, who are now on their way for New Zealand, in order to found the new settlement of Albertland (named after the late Prince Con sort), aliont 50 miles from Auckland. The colonists con sisted of nearly all classes of society. An enclosure and covered platform had been constructed on the North Quay—the platform being gaily decorated with legs sod evergreens, and also with the banner of the colony, a crimson shield in the centre of a yellow cross on a green ground, and edged with a deep border of lace. A number of te 3 utlemen, among whom were Mr. H. Twelvetrees the chairman), Rev. T. Pencore, Rev. S. Edgar, .A., minister of the settlement, Rev. W. Lin dell', Rev. F. Tomkius, LL.D., Mr. W. Heaton, and Mr. W. R. Brame, president of the settlement, took part in the proceedings, several of them delivering addressee to the friends of the emigrants, who had assembled to witness the departure of their relatives. Two vessels, each Dearly a thousand tons register—the Matilda Wattenbach, Captain Courtier, belonging to Mesas. Wattenbach, Hedger, and Co., and the Hanover, Captain H. R. Rich—bad been chartered to convey the colonists to Auckland. On board these commodiom vessels, which, gaily decorated from stem to stern with the flags of all nations, were lying in the outer basin, close to the river, and ready for starting with the tide, a busy and animated scene was being enacted. Passengers and vehicles, with articles of all kinds, were constantly arriving during the morning at the ships' sides, till the moment of departure, while in the state cabin and steerage berths the wives and daughters of the colonists (many of them educated and delicate women) were busied in putting their limited space in order. As soon as the meeting was over a procession of the emigrants formed, and headed by the bands, made for the outer basin, where the,vessels were lying. About half-past one o'clooly all being on board, the signal for starting was made, and the Matilda Wattenbach was taken in tow by the steam tug (amid the cheers and hurrahs of the spectators on shore and the 'colonists who clustered round the sides of the vessels like bees) and brought out into the river, the band playing the National Anthem and gun,firing. The Han over followed, but while attempting to clear the entrance to the docks,the towing hawser snapped • this, however, was soon remedied, sod said the cheers o f spectators, the booming of the guns, and the strains of band playing "The girl I left behind me," she followed her consort on her way to the Chaim& THE INDIAN TAairr.—An operatives' meeting WAS held is Stevenson-square, Manchester, on Wednesday night, to discos* the suoject of the Indian tariff. Resolu tions condemnatory of that part of the tariff which affixed a duty on cotton and cotton yarns were unanimously passed, and a petition based on them was adopted. It was further agreed by the meeting that measures should be taken to send a deputation of operatives, which should represent the whole manufacturing districts , to Sir Charles Wood, to re present to him the general opinion of the injurious opera tion of the import duties in India. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THI RlVER.—Yesterday morning an inquiry was held at the Spotted Dog Tavern, High-street, Poplar, respecting the death of Mr. William Hubert, aged 35, who lost his life upon the river Thames last Thursday night, under the following circumstances: It a from the evidence that deceased was superin ing the conveyance up the river of an iron bridge, up. wards of a hundred feet in length, from the works of Messrs. Rennie at Millwell, and that the ponderous mass was sup ported on large blocks of timber pieced across two at some distance from each other. Owing to the unwieldy 'l nature of the floating structure, it was found necessary to have it towed up the river at night, to obviate the chances of a collision with moving craft, end when it had got oppo site the Victualling Yard at Deptford, something went wrong in the darkness, and the whole affair became un manageable Deceased jumped from one of the barges on to the bridge, which projected considerably forward in the direction of the steam tug, and ran along to give some in strnefions to the captain of the latter, but, not seeing an unprotected opening in the bridge, he fell through into the water, and sank instantly. Boats were immediately out off to his aanstance, but the body was not found until Sun day morning. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." - Caroni PALACE.

HOWE, This too was an adjourned summons, on which the ques tion was as to the validity of a devise of laud to be sold for the purpose of propagating the writings of Joanna Sonthcote. His Honour reserved his judgment when the point was argued, in order that he might examine those ' writings. and in now giving judgment, said there woe two contentions, first, that the gift, if lawful, was • charity, and therefore void by the statute of mortmain ; and secondly, that it was wholly void by reason of the immoral and irreligious tendency of the writings in question. In them, however, his Honour thought there was nothing im moral ; they were rather the work of a foolish woman of an enthusiastic turn of mind, who had worked herself into a belief that she was to be the instrument, in the hands of the Almighty, of promoting sore great gocd on earth. So far, therefore, as immorality was concerned, there was nothing to invalidate the gift. As to the question of mortmain, his Honour thought that objection was fatal. The gift fall within what the court terms cha ritable object. Ilia Honour reed the words of 43 Elie., c. 4, and said if a gift of money be made for the purpose of printing and circulating works of a religious nature, the court would frame a scheme to effectuate the object with- out recognising any distinction as to sects, though 1 if the tenets of a particular sect, the object of the gift, were adverse to the foundations of religion, and subversive of morality, the gift would Le declared void, but the bequest so ter as r eg arded the statute of mortmain would not be altered by that circumstance, as the immoral tendency of the gift would render it void whether it were to be paid out of real or per sonal estate. But the folly merely of the opinions sought to be disseminated would not make the gift bad. His Honour then commented on the character of the doctrines of Joanna Southoote, and added that if a fund were left to propagate the writings of Dr. Paley or Bishop Batter, he should hold the bequest charitable and good, so if this had been a bequest of personalty it would have been valid, but as the gift was of land it was void under the statute. Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Foam, and Mr. Speed appeared for the different pasties. COURT OF QUZZIPS BENCH.—MAY 29. Mugs in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justine Cockburn, and Justices Wightman, Crompton, mid Blackburn.) This was an action brought by the plaintiff, • jockey, against the defendant, • gentleman well known on the turf, to recover the sum of 831. Ws., for work done, tic. The ease was tried before ➢lr. Justice Wightman, at Guildhall, when • verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., now moved for a rule to let aside the verdict, on the ground, fi rst. that the verdict was spinet the evidence ; secondly, surprise, and upon affida vits. The learned counsel stated that the plaintiff on the trial said that the defendant, had engaged hun in the yore 1856, at the Liverpool Spring Meeting, as a jockey in the plain of a pure named Priest. His salary was to be forty goers per annum and three guineas for a hieing mount and five puree (or a winning one. He alleged that be had ridden for the defendant from that time up to the middle of the following year, when the defendant discharged bun. He had left the matter alone until the present time and never applied for the sum he now claimed. Mr. Justice Wightman said—He certainly, at the trial, thought that the evidenoe of the plaintiff was most uneatia factory, because he had let the matter sleep for &ix years be fore he nude any claim at all He could not may that there was no evidence to support the verdict of the jury, but he should have been more satisfied if the verdict had beau for the defendant. The court thereupon granted a rule for a new trial. RATE V. THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH INSURANCE ODORANT. In this case Mr. Brown applied to the court for • rule to .how cause why a prohibition should not ions to the county court judge of Stafford, to restrain him from proceeding any further in this plaint, on the ground that the seal ol the company bad been affixed to the policy in London where defendants carried on business ; and this the defen dants alleged was sufficient to prove that the cause of ac tion accrued within the jurisdiction of the London courts, although the policy was delivered in Stafford, and the acci drit occurred there. The court, after hearing the learned counsel's arguments, granted a rule nisi. delay a the assets el 1,930 f.

The bearing of the ease was in Jane, and the matter was referred to the court in Scotland, the insolvent having ob tained a sequestration.

On the other side it wee urged that he should apply for the comic. Re bad not exhausted all the means, but in fact the application was an appeal from the judgment of the Lord Ordinary.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Barthokmsew Puller, an Italian organ grinder, was charged se follows : Mr. Edw. Jennings said that on the previous evening, about 8 o'clock, the prisoner was playing an organ in front of hie father's house, No. 11, Langbarn-place. He went out by his father's orders, sod sent hie brother to tell the pri soner to go away, his mother being very ill, and her con dition being made very much worm by the prisoner's play fog. The prisoner refining to go away, his brother went for a constable, nod one came up, but refused to interfere. The prisoner had been playing for • quarter of an hour be fore he was ordered to leave, and continued for a quarter of an hoar after, and was a great annoyance. The brother of Mr. Jennings corroborated his evidencie. Prisoner, through an interpreter, begged the complainant's pardon. Prisoner, said he did not wish, as the man had been locked up all night, to prom the cue severely, but the nuisance must be stopped, as it seriously Maimed his mother's illness. Mr. Knox said he was bound to pay attention to the re quoit of the complainant. He was aware of the liaisons, suffered in consequence of the organ-playing of these men, but at the same time he did not wish to stop all strut mimic. He did not think, however, that it would do to let the prisoner gc, and to say to all hie companions— grinders of barrel-organs—that they could atop opposite a house where some pampa was ill, and at the request of the complaining person, who might be very humane, when brought before a magistrate, et oft with a alight pinkie. moot. But for the iotercession of the complainant be s hoold have passed a severe sentence, as the nuisance to students and professional men was intolerable, and still more so to persons who were ill. He should fine the prisooer sa. or seven days ; and Le wished it to be understood that it was only at the request of the complainant that he pared such a sentenco. SOUTHWARK. Chortle Chapman, a hawker, was charged with throwing a quantity of overproof spirit of ammonia over several children, severely injuring two of them, and depriving them of their eyesight. Thomas Hatton, a very intelligent lad, whose right eye was bandaged up and deprived of sight, arid who seemed to be suffering severely from other inju ries to his face, said that he lived with his parents at eadalLetrast, Bee moadsey, and on the previous evening was playing with other' 111 the Week The prisoner was rolling about in the mud near a truck containing several bottles. While they (the children) were running past him the prisoner suddenly jumped up, seized one of the bottles off the truck, drew the cork, and threw the contents over them. A greet portion of the liquid came over his face and eyes, completely blinding and burning him, and causing him ex cruciating agony. His mouth was partially open, so that a quantity of the liquid entered and burst hie tongue severely. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, here in'ormed his worship that Mr. Evans, the divisional surgeon, had cuddly attended the lad, end although be wee very serionaly burnt, he thought that the eyesight could be preserved. Sergeant Cramer, 11 division, stated that there were several other children severely burnt with the liquid, and they were not able to attend. He had a tradesman in court Rho witnessed the prisoner's corduct. Robert Sunday, a tradesman, residing in Fendall-street, said he was standing at his door on the previous evening, when he saw the prisoner fall down near his track sod roll himself ahout. Some boys wen, towards him to help to pick him up, when be snatched a bottle off his truck and threw the contents over the children. He saw last witness put his hands up to his eyes and scream in a dreadful manner. The other children also screamcd out that they were burnt. Witness laid hold of the prisoner and de tained him until a constable came up, when he was taken , into custody. The constable produced the bottle containing a small quantity of liquid which the doctor pronounced to be spirit. of ammonia highly over proof. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that be hawked about the ammonia and sold it to hatters and clearers of , wearing apparel. He was very much annoyed at the time, and the ammonia came out of the bottle accidentally. Mr. Burcham told him that as several of the children were io injured as not to be able to attend, he should re mand him until Wednesday, ad be refused to accept hail.

LONDON-BRIDGE RAILWAYS TERMINUS HOTEL 0011PANY.—The first half-yearly meeting of the share holder; in this company was held yesterday in the new hotel, Dr. Chaim', in the chair. Mr. Bigg, the secretary, read the report, which expressed the regret of the directors that, owing to circumstances over which they had no coo trol, the opening of the hotel had been delayed for the epees of one month. They believed, however, that they had best consulted the interests of the shareholders and the character of the hotel in not commencing business whilst the building was in an unfinished state, as the comfort of visitors must have been materially interfered with by the workmen. The reasons for this delay were the extra work caused by the additional storey, increased mileage, and the strike which took place in the bidding trade last summer. The directors, however, feel confident that those additions have been judicious, and that a proportionate return and increase of custom will fully compensate for the outlay in curred. The directors have selected as meager • gentleman in whose experience and integrity they have the fullest con fidence, and who for several years filled an important posi , lion at the Great Western Hotel.

There was a numerous attendance at the Corner this afternoon, but it was generally agreed that, ommitterieg the near approach of the Derby, a duller order of business had scarcely ever been kuown. For the Derby anything over 3to 1 would have been taken about The Marquis, and although 6 to 1 was offered apt &wiretaps, 7 to 1 would here been taken freely. 100 to 8 was the highest offer against Zeeland, but an offer was made in the course of the afternoon to back Neptimus apt him. In all other respects the prices presented no change from the Bath quotations. Ensign and Caterer were each backed at 14 to 1 (taken), and 100 to 7 wee taken about Nsptanne. Argonaut, from the prim taken to-day„ is evidently the beet of Sir Joseph's lot, as 25 to 1 was taken about him to money. Warminster, who was quoted at a lessening prim at Bath, wee "knocked out" to 1,000 to 10 (offered) in the City this morning, and was not mentioned at the corner. The Oaks was introduced to-day for the first time with anything like betting listtions, and John Scutt, as in the Derby, furnished the favourite, the winner of the Two Thousand and One Thousand heading list of quotations in each Matinee.

The weather being fine the meeting was held in the groundsof the institution, where an extempore platform had been erected under the shade of two large trees ao the top of a piece of rising ground, the audience being seated on chairs immediately in trout, and the girls of the Home and children of the school on either side with the band of the East Middlesex Militia stationed in the background, the tout ensemble being one of a most pleasing deecription.

In recently visiting his newly enlarged show-rooms, we found a moat rare display of highly ornamented watches of all kinds. The watches here ethibltod marpau those of any other English mannfacturer, in respect to novelty of design. combining artistic beauty and mundane dui& in the ornamentation. The wide reputation which Mr. Benson has gained fur the perfect time-keeping qualities of his watches leaves nothing for us to my on this point.

This was an action for the unlawful conversion of certain household furniture, for illegally seizing and taking the same away, tic. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and leave and license. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Honeyman were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Hoddleston, in stating the case to the jury, said the plaintiff was a French lady who had resided for some time in thin country under the protection of a gentleman, and the defendant carried on partnership with a person named Bolton as upholsterer and money lender, carrying on busi ness at Moreton-street, Pimlico. The lady resided some time since in Sutherland-street, Finites), where the trans- salons in question first commenced, and afterwards she removed to Essex Villa, Kensington, where she now resides. The learned counsel then called Madame Its Royer. The learned judge interposed in the course of her ex amination, and asked, u many points of law must arise on this case, whether the parties could not come to some rea sonable terms of settlement. It would be a long time before any points of law could be settled, considering the arrears of business in the court. Both parties ought to be reasonable, because it was not to their interest that liti gation should proceed further. Mr. Coleridge said there was no objection to give the plaintiff her furniture if she would pay the defendant his money. Mr. Huddleeton said the defendant should be paid his money, and 5 per cent. interest then in court, on his giving up the furniture and paying the costa of the trial. A consultation took place between the defendant and his counsel, which resulted in the defendant refusing to ac cept the terms offered. Other evidence was then called in support of the plain tiff's case. - --- Mr. Coleridge, for the defendant, submitted that by the wording of the bill of sale, the furniture was transferred absolutely to him, with certain powers in the event of the non-payment of the instalments, removal of the goods from Pimlico, damage, &c., or being sued by creditors. The learned Judge held that the plaintiff was entitled to possession of the goods. Mr. Coleridge, in addressing the jury for the defendant, cautioned them not to be led away that the plaintiff was a person unused to the ways of the world. The rate of in terested by money-lenders depended of course upon t he risk, and the Duke of Wellington never said a wiser thing than when he remarked that " the rate of interest was to be measured by the rate of risk run." That the defendant under the circumstances took a large rate of interest was to be expected, and was not sufficient to disentitle him to fair consideration, more especially when they remembered that the plaintiff was a person who was likely to disappear from the scene in a few weeks, and the defendant be deprived of his money and his goods. He hoped the defendant's awe would not be prejudiced because he was a money-lender and obtained large interest, and observed that be thought it was very much like • cam of "diamond cut diam ond ." At this stoge another conference took place between the parties; and Mr. kluddleeton said they bad speed to terms. The verdict would be entered for the plaintiff for nominal da mages subject to terms agreed upon. Verdict accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—MAY 29. Main. in Bums. —(Before Load Chief Justine Eris and Justices Williams, Wills, and Byles ) ligaNtAtru v. egruseciw..—raint IMPRISONMENT UPON • CHARON or PAWN° RAD MONET. This case arose out of the following circumstances :—The plaintiff one night on his way home from the theatre, where was employed as a musician, went into the defendant's shop and purchased a cigar, and 'mottling to the plaintiff's ease he tendered in payment • shilling and received the change. Almost immediately afterwards the defendant followed him and gave him in charge for pawing a had two-shilling piece. He was locked up, but the magistrate discharged him, and afterwards this action was brought. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Bylee, when the jury found for the plaintiff, damages 5/. • but the question now was whether • rule to enter a verdiCt for the defendant should be made absolute. - • • Mr. Shaw appeared to show cause, and Mr. Serjeant Peteredoef and Mt. Giffard to support the rule. The 94 and 25 Vict., cap. 99, entitles any person who gives another into custody under that statute for passing bad coins to a month's notice of action, and the jury found in this or.. that the defendant book fide believed that the plaintiff had passed bed money, but that he bad no ream able ground foe so believing. The question was whether this finding entitled his to notice of action. The Lord Chief Justice thought that the governing ques. tion in respect to the right to notice was whether the defendant really believed that the facts existed which brought the statute into operation, and honestly intended to enforce the law ; and the jury having found this, be was of opinion that the defendant was entitled to notice of action, eotwitiatandieg they thought that he had no reasonable ground for the mapicsoo. Rule absolute. COURT OF BANKFIIIPTOY.-MAY 29. (Beton Mr. Oomesimiosier Fans.) PS LILLY. This was an examination meeting and application for an order of discharge.

The week's import is 215,942 bales. WOOL AND WOlLSTED.—lbutwonn, MAT 29. There is little wool changing hands today. The declining tendency in price, which we have noticed foe several week., apprize to have received a check, owing no doubt to the unexpectedly high rates obtained at the late fain at York and Pontefract. Old wools may be bad at late rates, hut new wools have a hardening tendency. The bosineee doing in wonted yarns is confined chiefly to the supply of home wants. The export houses are doing very little. In the piece departmeot there kw been a numerous attendance of foreign buyers, but the market, notwithstanding, ham been of a quiet character. Xerchants are generally acting with great caution, and business continues to be done on a very limited scale. The deruand for America is anything but brisk. Home merchants are not ordering freely for the continental trade. There in as yet uo demand for France, and iu the unsatisfactory state of the European market, some little anxiety is felt on this account. Fancy maker, are pretty well employed. Stocks of plain goods are not heavy, and prices remain without material champ. LACE AND HOSlERY.—NorrnrouAr, ILsr El.— There is still an animated demand for narrow lama and edging, and some other favourable features may be alto noted in the present aspect of the staple trade. There are a few more German Layers in the market, though generally their purchases are small ; and there is a decided change for the better observable in the advice. from North America. Commercial confidence is being restored therm, and some parcels of lace goods are being shipped for the Continent, with very favourable auguries for our future dealings in the same direction. Harvest prospects are likewise so favourable in most composing countries that the im pressioa is pining around that there will be a very brisk fall trade. The price of yarns, which had given way slightly, have now hardened again, so that the makers of plain sets complain that they are unable to obtain remunerating rates for their labour. This eomplaiat applies still more forcibly to the hosiery trade, which, in other respects, is in a more hopeful condition than we have been able to report it for several weeks. Not oily are small orders frequently placed for the States, but a fair shipping trade i, being done for other parts of the world. Some of the London houses this week have been exceedingly pressed with busioeu to supply the demands of astomers both at home and abroad. Are may say, indeed, for the time of the year, considering the enormous price of raw material, things are looleug very hopeful.—Nottiagbani Journal. 001/17.-BIBNINGHAiI, Mar 29.-At this day's market there was a very short supply of English, but prices gave way la. per quarter.
