IMPERIAL P. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TrESDAT, MARCH 15. The Loan Ci at 5 o'clock. took his east upon the woolsack DENMARK AND GERMANY. The End of ELLENBOBOUCH—I wish to give notice that on the motion for the adjournment of the house ou Friday next I shall cat! the attention of your lordships to the actual state of affairs between Germany and Denmark. As the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs is not present, I beg to ask the noble duke opposite whether the identical note which appears in the newspapers to-day from Austria and Prussia, mating au amended proposition rela tive to an armistice and a confwenos, is authentic. The difference between what is now understood and the proposi tion which was formerly made is, that whilst the latter was a separate proposition on the part of Prussia on the one hand and of Austria co the other, the note now published is an identical proposition on the part of both—that Des mar's may elect either to have an armistice, provided there is a mutual evacuation of Alien on her part and of Jutland on the part of the allies, or an armistice upon the basis of the uti possiditia—that is, to the effect that hostilities cease, that the prizes taken on both &ides be restored, and that the embargo on chips be altogether removed. Now, supposing this to be authentic. I must express my Gannet hope that t►e Danish government will accept the proposition of the armistice on the buffs of the eta possi. date. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the operations at sea, I think it very probable that at the present moment the Danes have • temporary advantage, bat great questions must be decided upon great and riot upon little views. It is not probable that any advantages which Denmark may gain at sea can have any effect on the ultimate result of the war, and therefore I trust she will agree to that condition also, and that we shall have the happiness to see the great powers of Europe assembled in conference with an armistice established, for without the establishment of an armistice there can be no hope of any successful result from the conference. (Hear, hear.) I do hope, at the same time, that when Austria and Prussia conceded that identical note they at the e.me time forwarded • telegraphic despatch to Marshal Wrangel, directing him not to commit the army to any further military operations, for it would be a most criminal act if, while they held out the hope of a settle ment, they were to endanger the lives of more men than have unhappily already fallen in this most unrighteous war. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of SOMERSET—In the atones of my noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs I may state, with out vouching for the exact words of the note published to. day in the Morning Poet, that the statement made is sub stantially correct. It might be inconvenient for me to give any further answer to the question. On the motion of the Loan CHANCELLOR the Insane Prisoners Act Amendment Bill was referred to a select committee. MALT FOR ANIMALS BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the second read ing of this bill, and suggested that the discussion should be taken on Thursday. Lord BERNERS thought some change ought to be made in the bill to render it more acceptable to the agricultural classes and prevent its becoming altogether a dead letter. It was not his intention to oppose the bill, but be wished to observe that be did sot believe the farmers were likely to avail themselves of its provisions, and suggested that some modification in its clauses might be advantageously made which would benefit the farmer whilst it would not mate rially injure the revenue. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY was not prepared to say whether any modifications could be made in the clauses, as he was not acquaioted with the details of the bill, sad thought the beet course for the noble lord to pursue would be to give notice of any amendment' which he might desire to make. Earl GREY aspromerl his regret that the bill had been introduced, became in his opinion it would operate in juriously to the revenue. He was *till further surprised that the agitation against the malt duty could be coun tenanced b► any gentleman who called himself a friend of the lauded interest, for on measure more injurious to that interest could be adopted by parliament than the repeal of the welt dutim. The Duke a ARGYLL agreed with the noble earl that it would be inexpedient at the present tune to repeal the malt•tar- The Earl of HARDWICK E expressed his belief that neither landlords nor farmers would invest money in erect ing buildinp for melting if the bill was to remain in operation for only five years. Lord REDEdDALE said that if the argument of the noble earl (Grey) were good it would prevent them from touching the malt duty at all unless they had a surplus of 5,000,000/. or 6,000,0(101. It appeared to him that theme tioslly and practically the tax was a most unjust one. It restricted the manufacture of the commonest and most be neficial of beverages by the poor, whilst the manufacture of cider and all other drioks, with the exception of spirits, was left free. If the drinking of beer could be encouraged to the exclusion of more intoxicating drinks, it would be owe of the most beneficial changes that could take plane. Lord WODEROUSE was inclined to agree with the noble earl opposite that the bill would remain inoperative if it was only to remain in force for five years. He thought, however, that the experiment ought to be tried, and he did not agree with the noble earl (Grey) that because the malt tax was paid by the consumer it should not be got rid of. The bill was then read a seoood time. VESTRY CESS ABOLITION (IRELAND) BILL. . . The house havina gone into committee ou thin bill, clauses 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. Clause 4, after a division, was struck out. The rest of the bill passed through committee. ENCLOSURE BILL. This bill passed through oommitise. The Malice Mutiny Bill was read a second time. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter past 6 until to morrow (Wednesday) at 4 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TrEtiDAY, MARCH 15. The SrEmma took the chair et 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third tune and panned : Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway ( Additional Powers); Swansea Vale Railway, and Wrexham Water Rills. INCOME TAX. Mr. HUBBARD gave notice for an early day after Fader, to coil the attention of the house to the operation and DWl denoe of direct and indirect taxation, as now levied, with special reference to the income tax, and, in prospect of its continuance, the propriety of basing it on soots renew:timed principle. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Lord R. CECIL gave motia for that day month, to pro pose a motion coodemnatory of the practice of mutilating the reporte of the oommiraiwiers of education previous to presentiag them to the house. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. A. MILLS gave notice for the first supply night after EVItCr, to briog forward his motion respecting the war in New Zealand. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Colonel EDWARDS gave notice for Thursday pest to ask a question respecting the recent arrangemeste of the salaries of factory inspectors. IRISH CHURCH. Mr. DILLWYN pre notice (or that day month to move for an Mowry tato Irish religious endowineuts. FIRE INSURA_NCES. Mr. HUBBARD asked the hoe. member for Dudley whether be would pastpeee his motion fore bill to re duce the duty oo fire utsuranoes until alter the budget. Mt. SHERIDAN said that in replying to the question he wished to add a few words in order to sap iain the character of his answer. The house had paced a motion similar to that which he had now oa the paper, by a large majority last year, namely, to the effect that the duty on tire insurance, ought to be repealed, and he thought it would be wading the time of the house if he sated it to &arum the question again until the government had had an opportunity of giving effect to last year's resolution. Under titers circumstances he should ask leave to postpone his motion until after the financial statement of the Chin. cellos of the Exchequer. BRADFORD RESERVOIR, --- Mr. FEItRAND asked the Secretary of State for the Home Departroeut if be would direct the engieeer appointed to examine the Bradfield reser voir to visit and report upon the Doepark re servoir, belonging to the corporation of Bradford, which was in leaky sod dangerous state. The hoe. member said that be had last year called the attention of the tight boo. gentleruau to the dangerous state of this reservoir, when the right boo. gentleman communicated with the Mayor of Bradford, the reservoir being the property of the corporatioo. The answer of the latter was that care should he taken to preclude the possibility of accident, but since then the reservoir had bee. repeatedly filled, and the lives of the iehabitaate was in consequeuce in imminent peril. He (Mr. Fermat) saw the reservoir about a month since, when it was leaking in three places. (Interruption, sod cries of "Order.") He thought that after what lied happened at Sheffield—Near, bowl — he might be permitted to add a few words is sepia:tetras of his question. A month sines he saw this reservoir when it was quite full and leaking in three places, sae einem being sufficient to work a large mall. He now asked whether the right bon. gentleman would be se goad as to send the en gineer who bad been despatched to Sheffield oo to Bradford, , 1 which wee oely a few miles distant, with orders to report on the date of the reservoir at that place. Sir G. GREY rid that oo receiving a letter from the boo. member be bad at °ace telegraphed to the Mayor of Bradford. sad 11. d asbusquistly seat Lieu the Wier. Is THE RXISESB, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1864. hie (Sir G. Geer's) examtinication he stated his expectation that the corporation would take every means to ensure the safety of the public. He got an immediate answer stating what had been dens, end ohm that the reservoir was to be examined by the corporation engineer. Same then he had rewired the report of the engineer, accompanied by a de scription of the precautionary measures which ware about to be taken. These communications had appeared to be satisfactory, but since then he bad received no information on the subject. If the hon. member knew of the present danger for • month be was sorry that he had not before brought it under his (Sir G. Grey's) notice. He had, how ever. written by this post to the Mayor of Bradford calling his attention to the subject, and demanding a report as to the present condition of the reservoir. 'i j to which Colonel Crawley bad been subjected, sad the attempt. made and defeated to obtain a verdict 'sand hi= The Marquis of HARTLYGTON said he rose to state the conies which the government intended to take on this m asks, in referees to the various motions on the paper. The government would give a most cordial meet to the amendment of the right hon.entleman who had just moved that it would be inex pedient to supply farther on this subject. (Ironical cheers.) There was no paper gentleman who could state that the question had not been fully and amply dimmed by the house, and he thought the time had come when this controversy might be brought to a close. He was glad to find that the hon. gentleman, who bad moved for further paper, had not called in question the finding of the court-martial, but the speech of the hon. gentleman was in great part a repe tition of that which he made lest year, in which he called in question the legality of the arrest of the sergeant-majors. In reply to the speech of the hon. gentleman of last year, he admitted on the part of the government that it was their opinion, and that of their legal advisers, and of the military authorities at the Horse-Guards, that the continuance of the arrest after Sir W. Mansfield had decided that there were no snfficient grenade for bringing the three sergeant-melon to trial was illegal. But it was impossible to try Colossi Crawley for the continued arrest mince he was covered by the order of his commanding officer, Major-General FarrelL There was no doubt a misunderst anding, and it was a most unfortunate circumstance that the three men should have been detained in custody three weeks beyond the proper time He announced in the house last year, in most namistakrable terms, that although Colonel Crawley might be morally responsible, yet, after what occurred, he could not be tried, because what he did was afterwards sanctioned by the order of Sir W. Mansfield, who was himself technically re aible for the illegal arrest, but he (the Marquis of rarl . - Hart ton) explained that Sir W. Mansfield was placed is difficult circumstances, as at that time he was 400 miles away from where the occurrences had taken place, and therefore he had no opportunity of making constant re ferences to any of those transactions which wen going on. Sir W. Mansfield was evidently under ; the impression that the trial of the three men would be terminated in a few days, and, if he had not been, he would not have given the or der for the continuance of . the arrest. (Hear, hear.) The hoc. member for Andover had disclaimed any with to see Sir W. Mansfield placed upon his trial, and he did not think any bon. member would desire that an officer of such distinguished services and talent should be brought before a court-martial ; and he (the Marquis of Harlington) felt perfectly certain that theme,- ' martial would have found him guilty of any military offence ; for although he might have been technically responsible, yet he was not morally guilty. He promised last year that, although Sir W. Mansfield would not be brought to trial, yet that the opinion of the commander-in-chief that he had committed an error in judgment would be communicated to him, and that had been done, and he thought the communication of such an opinion was • punishment, if a punishment it might be called, fully and amply sufficient for any error in judgment upon the occasion in question. (Hear, hear.) Lord HOTHAM, after justifying an amendment he had put upon the paper, said he cordially concurred in the prin ciple laid down by General Peel ; but this was an excep tional case, and exceptional cases required exceptional remedies, and when such things were done as had been dose in this case there wee more to fear from mystery and sec-my than in letting the whole truth be given to the country. He complained of some remarks made by Lord Harlington, which he thought derogatory to Sir William Mansfield. Lord HARTINGTON disclaimed any intention of dero gating from the high character of Sir W. Mansfield. Mr. O'REILLY suggested that in the proceedings in Irwin there had bees violations of military law. Sir J. FERGL'SSON cited certain expressions used by Mr. Fonseca' last year, in relation to the treatment of Sergeant-Major Lilley, for which he thought an explanation was due to the house. He reviewed and severely censured the spirit of the proosediegs against Colonel Crowley, who had suffered, he said, grievous injustice. Mr. Forteacue, is his opinion, had only two coursers open to him—either to apologise to the hones for having been made the vehicle of gross falsehood, or to take exception to the finding of the own-martial. . . . . Mr. READLAbf, after explaining the course he had taken, as Jadge-Advocate•General, with reference to the Mhow court-martial, proceeded to reply to the objections offered to the proceedings which had been taken against Colonel Crawley, justifying the bringing that o ffi cer to a court-martial, and the having the trial M England. He defended the manner io which the trial had been conducted, and all the steps be had taken in a case in which unusual difficulties had presented themselves. Mr. MOWBRAY complained that Mr. Bedlam had not fully explained his oouraeof action in retegeDoe to the Mhow , court-martial and to Paymaster Smales. He complained likewise of the high terms in which he had spoken of Ser geant-Major Lilley, and that he had not touched upon the question of the legality or illegality of the arrest. Aa to the mode of conducting the proceedings at the trial of Colonel Crawley, be suggested certain points in which that mode was, in his opinion, erroneous, and that the fault lay with the Judge Advocate-General. Mr. SMOLLETT thought, with Sir J. Ferguson, that the statement made by Mr. Fortescue last year ought to have been retracted, and that an apology was due to the house and the country. He read portions of the statement, and detailed facts which showed, he said, that it was almost wholly unfounded. He detailed the case of Paymaster Sinaloa, and what he termed the inconsistent and capricious orders in his case ; and in that of Colonel Crawley be con sidered that there was not a department of the government that was free from blame. He thought there was no Deem ing for a court-martial upon that officer. Mr. DUTTON vindicated the conduct of Sir William Mr. BOUVERIE contended that Mr. Fortescae was un fairly censured for the etatemeut he bad made. The dim-mince was continued by Mr. R. Dutton, Mr. Bawer* Coloiml Gilpin, Mr. Neste, Captain Archdall, and Sir W. Fraser. Mr. FORTESCUE could not avoid saying a few words after the appeals which had been made to him, particularly by the hoe. member ft Ayrshire, whore language, if tech nically within the rules of parliament, was not in ac cordance with that courteous and gentleman-like demeanour which the hon. gentleman might study with great advantage to the improvement of his own manners. ("Hear, hear , " and • laugh.) He (Mr. Fortescue) had already explained that he had brought forward the statements he had made upon information which he thought was well founded. This evening he had carefully avoided casting any aspersion upon Colonel Crawley ; and he had confined his remarks to various oonsiderations which be thought showed that has original remarks were not altogether unsupported by facts. As referee°, had been made to Mrs. Lilley, be molt say that if hoe. gentlemen would read the evidence of Surgeon Barnett, they would eee that in the details of the aneet there had been a needles, disregard both of decency sod of humanity. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the motion, he was willing to withdraw his proposal for the production of the confidential reports. (Hear, bear.) The motion was theca negatived, and General Peers amendment was agreed to without a division. ,- ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCITIT.- 7 -Msineroxr., Mawr 15. The bushier of thaw assists WU proceeded with yester day morning, the Lord Chief Biros predding Is the Crown Court, and Lord Chief Justice Rate at nisi prim. There are seventeen causes entered for trial, and fire are special jury cams, and one of these, it is said, will occupy two days, if it is tried. The Lord Chief Baron, in charging the grand jury, said there was only cone cue to which he considered it necessary todirect their attention, which was a charge of wilful murder against two prisoners. The case, however, was vary diffe rent to ordinary met of murder, for it ap peared that the accused pinions were originally committed for trial upon a charge of robbing the deceased man, and with having used personal violence to him at the time the robbery was com mitted. Three weeks after the transaction the prosecutor died in one of the London hospitals, and the result of the post mortem examination went to show that the death was accelerated by the violence that was need towards him at the time the robbery was committed, and under those circumstances the prisoners were charged with the offence of wilful murder. The law was somewhat peculiar with refereoce to such a case, and it might be thought that it would be as well that some alteration should be made in it, but it was his duty to tell them that the law of England was, that if in the course of the commission of any act of felony death ensued, thecrime amounted to wilful murder in the persons concerned in such act of felony. In the pre sent use there did not appear to be the slightest vaned for supposing that the prisoners Intended to cause the death of the deceased, but still if the grand jury should be of opinion that in the course of the struggle when the robbery was committed the deceased received injuries that accelerated his death, the offence would be murder, and they were bound to return a true bill against the prisoners for that offence. . . . . Mr. Barrow, who was instructed to prosecute, shortly afterwards applied to the court to permit the deposition of the deceased to be laid before the grand jury in support of the charge of murder. Mr. Albion, who was counsel for the prisoners, objected to this being done, on the ground that the deposition was taken upon a totally different charge, namely, that of robbery with violence, and be contended that the act of parliament making the deposition of a deceased witness admissible, only applied to the case where the same was preferred before the grand jury as the one ori=3: investigated before the magistrate. The Chief Baron, however, ruled that the deposition of the deceased was admissible, and he directed that it should be submitted to the grand jury. THE POLICE COURT& BOW-STREET. named Michael • A big powerful-I ng man, Cahill, a journeyman hatter, was charged with being drunk and awaiting his wife, Mary Ana Cahill. The prosecutrix stated—My husband, sir, deserted me a fortnight ago, bat be came home drank about 2 o'clock this morning, when I was in bed and asleep. I asked him what he did there after being away for a fortnight, and be said no more but up with his fist and began beating me. and calling me all but everything. He dragged me oat of bed, kicked me in the chest, and beat my head spinet the bed rr. I cried out "Murder," and a policeman came in, or elieve he would have killed me. He has often ill-used me before—twice be hasha4 a month for me, and once six months, and once been bound over to keep the peace towards me for six months. Policeman °onion, F 147, said he heard the cries of " Murder," which induced him to enter the plasm (No. 11. Wild-court). He found the primecutrix lying on the bed with her face and the bedclothes all over blood from • wound in her head. The prisoner, who was' drunk, was beating her and using horrible language. Witness dragged him away from her and took him into custody. Impactor Brimmaconrbe stated that the prisoner had undergone the several sentences mentioned by the prosecu- Cris tot assaults upon her. The prisoner sad it was all false. He did not desert his wife; she turned him out and shut the door io his face. The previous night be met her, and they got drinking together and made it up. He went home tint, and it was she who came home drunk at two o'clock and assaulted him when he was in bed. It was his blood that was in the bed, and it wangle that used the bad language. . . Mr. Vaughan maid the assault ;as clearly proved, and brutal as it was in itself, was aggravated by the calumny be sought to cast on his wife. He (Mr. Vaughan) should impose the heaviest penalty in hie power, though he thought even that insufficient. He must be imprisoned for six months, and be bound over, himself in 201. and one surety in 10/., to keep the peace for a further period of six months. THE CASUAL POOR. Mr. KEKEIVICH asked the President of the Poor-law I Board whether his attention bad been called to the great I increase of applications for relief by the casual poor, cape- cial in the southern districts ; and whether he proposed to lame any instructions to the boards of guardians on the sub ject, or whether he thought it desirable that all vagrants making application for relief should have their Dania en tared in a register by the police. Mr. VILLIERS Raid that his attention had been called to the applications for the relief of the casual poor, but not to the increase of applications, because no such increase existed. The boo. member referred to the southern districts, I and he (Hr. Villiers) found that in those which were per rally classed with the south eastern and south western dis tricts there was a precise report from each of the tow counties in each district. With respect to the south-east district he found the applications to have been, Jule, 214 ; January, 286 ; south-west districta—July, 128 ; January, 136 ; show ing an increase of not more than 80. The hon. member asked' whether he intended to lame any instructions to the boards of guardians. He did not propene to issue instructions, but during the winter he had called the attention of the boards throughout the metropolis, and had directed the inspectors to call the attention of the country boards, to the denia bility of placing the relief of the casual poor in the bands of the police. He hid been induced to do this by the airy satisfactory report of General Cartwright respecting the casual cases which bad been treated by the police. General Ost.wright said that he was deeply inpraseed with the pest advantage of leaving the duty of rehiring _esgriihts is Use bands of the police, and begged to bring before the public the propriety: of appointing trustworthy policemen to such duty. The plan had been largely bled through out the year, and was rapidly becoming uuiversaL Nothing in fact, General Cartwright said, could be better, both as regarded the casual wayfarer and the public, the former getting prompt relief, and the latter being apmst the tricks of the professional mendicant.fi t e7 t ( c i t.d r. V• led inn) found that the plan was in operation in no lees than ninety unions, and he had called the attention of the guardians generally to it with a view to its extension. DIETARY IN WAKEFIELD PRISON. Lord FERMOY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the effect of the late change of dietary in Wakefield Prieon on the health of the pri soners ; and whether he would lay a copy of the cone spondeoce on the subject, together with the report of the medical officer, upon the table of the house. Sir G. GREY said that the dietary to which the noble lord alluded had only been sanctioned as an experiment, and as it bad not as yet been six months in operation, the justice. informed him that there had not as yet been time sufficient to form an opinion. flowerer, he bad received such an uotavourablis report of the effect of the diet in lowering the health of the prisoners and in increasing the mortality that he bad ordered it to be suspended. An inquiry was at present going on into the whole question of prison dietary. METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the President of the Board of Trade, in reference to the followi sismage in the re po rt of the select committee on metrop olitan railway.—" The committee are of opinion that some of the provisions of The Companies Masse Consolidation Act, 1845, require re vision in relation to metropolitan arrangements, and they re, ommend the introduction of s bill for that purpose"— whether it was the intention et the government to Intro. duce such a bilL - Tiir:i7jiiiiox said that the subject was under cos• sideratio•, and a bill would probably be introduced at • later period of the semem. He thought it, however, de si ra ble to postpone such a measure until the termioatioa of the inquiries of the committee on metropolitan railways. ASSESSED TAXES BILL. In mower to as Hoe, Member.

BRITISH MUSEUM. On the motion of Mr. WatrocE, a copy was ordered of the minutes of the secretary of the British Museum on the subject of providing additional accommodation for the several collections belonging to that establishment (subse quent to the parlianiestary paper No. 97, of seen= 180.) THE CRAWLEY COURT-MARTIAL. Mr. D. FORTESCUE rote to call attentioo to the mut martial on Colonel Crawley, sod to move au address for copies of a letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley, an amacing, for the information of Sir William Mansfield, the arrest of Sergeant-Majors Lilley, Duval, and Wakefield, on • charge of conspiracy, together with any document, in support of such charge ; of the last half-yearly coofidential inspection report on the 6th Dragoons prior to Colonel Shute's resigning the command ; and of the first half yearly confidential inspection report subsequent to Colonel Crawley's assuming the command of that regiment. He believed that the death of Sergeant- Major Lillie and the illegal imprisonment of his oom rads woad for many years to come afford the fruitful textfoc the agitator of the public-house and supply a strong antidote to the blandishment of the recraitieg sergeant. (Hear, hear.) It would take years of strict and impartial administration of justice by the Horse Guards to radon) that confidence which had been shaken to its fousdatioa by what bad occurred. (Hear, boar.) Be had no wish to see Colonel Crawley again on his trial, nor did he wish to see General Farrell, Sir W. Mansfield, or Sir H. Rae placed upon theirs, but he hoped that the experiences of last year would not be lost upon any one. If the public scandal which had been caused by these emote. and which no verdict of acquittal could 'hoed lead military authorities to do justice so matter at what cost, to individuals, no matter at what apparent sacrifice of authority, hot most of all if it should tend to some sweeping radioed change in the cumbrous and inadequate machinery which tempted to perjury—tones of •• no, no," and " hear")—if such ends were to be obtained, the late court-martial, costly and barren in results as it might appear, would have conferred great and lasting benefit upon the army. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. GRENFELL, in seconding the motion, said be hoped that the case of Major Swiodley would be taken into eoesideratirm by the government. (Cheers.) He was informed, sad be had seen it stated in the newspapers, that that portion of Major Swiadley's evidence which might appear to have shown au animus against his commodiog officer was his return into the court for the purpose of filling in an expletive in his evidence ; but he did not retorts of his own accord, be was called upon in terms which no officer or gentleman could refuse to obey, to go back and complete his evidence. (Cheers.) lie (the hon. member) had marched in vain through the evidence of that officer for anything like eel mus—( bear, hear)—and he hoped, therefore, that the house would be assured by the government that some justice should be done to Major Swindley. (Hear, Lear.)

This came was one of • very complicated nature, having been three times before the magistrate. It appeared that for some time the defendant had been io the habit of finish iog hides for the prosecutor, receiving his orderif rem Means. Radford' factors. The latter got into difficulties, and on examining the books of that firm it was discovered that the defendant had received hides and leather worth about 801. to finish. which had not bees returned. In making further inquiries the leather was found pledged at Messrs. Mcetoghs and Co.'., pawnbrokers, in Southwark. where it had been deposited by the defendant. Mr. Proctor, on being exa mined by Mr. Edwin, said that Messrs.R•dford, also factor', were his uncles, and be believed they were bankrupts. lie knew that the defendant had &claim for finishing the leather in question, and he told witness that if that claim was satis fied he would instantly give up all the leather. Mr. Edwin, for the defendant, admitted the pledging the goods, as he could not get the money for the work performed. He looked to Radford foe payment, and now hallooed that he was insolvent. It looked very moth an if there wan some agreement to do him out of his money. Woolrych asked how much war doe to the de fendant Mr. Edwin replied upwards of WI.

As they bad been restored be tbooght the defendant was entitled to some 'hies ; therefore he should order the complainant to pay him 101. as satisfaetioo for all demands.

COTTON.—Lzveieom, 11Aacz 15.—We haveiegeie to report • strong and hardening market. Cottou Ulfilt of e•le yesterday boa been sold at id. advance on the otf..n, then made, sod all descriptions may be quoted 01. to i d. higher than yesterday. The sales are 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 are for export sod 'peculation. COTTON G00D11....-MANCHZII7IM, Mama lo.— Fur cloth ws had a quiet market to the close of last week, with • tendency to weakness in prima. The market opened in much the same state yesterday, but the important improve meat in the Liverpool cotton market gave a rather more cheerful tone in the aftereocm, and the drooping tendeocy of prime wee arrested. Today also, for the PILO reasoe, we have had a rather more cheerful feeling, with more inquiry for some descriptions of cloth, but still as regards actual business the improvement amounts to little. Bayern still disinclined to purchase with any freedom.' l lrir; r have made a few offers, but at prices inmost cases too low for acceptance, and where badness has resulted from their inquiries it is doubtful if it has been done at any tan. gible advance in prices. All that can be said is, that sellers are disposed •to bold for rather higher rata than they would have taken last week, and that to this extent the market is firmer. In fact the improvement has commenced at the wrong end ; it is in response to the feeliog in the market for the raw materiel, instead of having sprung from any Lona ode demand for the manu factured article. In the yarn market the improvement ci of • more satisfactory character. Not only has there been • more cheerful feeling in this branch of the market, but it has resulted in more activity generally. We have had more business in shipping yarns for all markets, and prima does firm at as advance of id. per lb. on the rates of Friday last. In home trade yarns also there has beer deci. dedly more inquiry, resulting in a fair amount of business, and at an advance in prime of id. to id. per lb, as compared with the closing raise of last week. Messrs. Whitworth and Co. report the quantity of cotton now at see from India, Chios, and Japan, at 540,000 bales. ILINUFACTUREB.—HODDES3FIELD, MAWR 15.—The atteodance of buyers has been rather numerous from the provinces, but few from London. A. moderate amount of business has been transacted in black doeskins and good steel mixtures, as well se the avenge quantity of spring sad summer goods. The ordinary demand for unions, in cluding low-prioed deecriptioos for shipping, still continues, and a fair quantity of Bedford cord► are making to order. WOOLS.—BODUrnarir.LD, MARCH 15.—There is not so much doing in wools as aught have been expected from the quantity arrived from pnvent sales, longetainled firm wool being most in demand, and in this class but little has as yet been brought forward in Loudon. CORN.—ficti., MARCH 15.—At to-day's market a fair supply of English wheat. which is taken off at about last Tuesday's currency. Foreign attracts but little attention, wed where sales are made, buyers have the advantage in price. Barley troves off freely at the decline noted during the week. Bemis and peas no quotable change.
