To this Lord Ruoranata added that, in his opinion, it would be abso- lutely impossible to peas that hill. Their lordships adjourned at 23 minutes to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THueaDat, Fla. 22.

Upon the motion foe the second reading of this bill, • Mr. AYRTON said it was not his intention to pro pose the rejection of the bill, but ;after the second reading he should move that it be referred to • committee of twelve members, of whom five should be notninated by the omunittee of selection, and which should be Instructed to inquire into the best means of regulating the traffic not only of the City but of the whole metropolis. The bill was read a mooed time, and in accordance with the suggestion of Mr. Apton was referred to • select committee. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (IRELAND).

PETIT JURIES (IRELAND). Mr. LAWSON also gave notice that on Monday be would move for leave to bring in a bill to consolidate and amend the law relating to petty juries in Ireland. INDIA. Lord STANLEY asked the Under Secretary of State for India whether he era' prepared to state what steps would be taken by government in coesespence of the report of the second commission on the grievances of Indian odlona Mr. ST ANSFELD said the question was one of • difficult and complicated character. It had, however. met with the earnest attention of the Secretary of State: It was impos sible for him to state the conclusions at which the noble lord had cot bean able to arrive, nor could he name • day when he should be able to make that statement. Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was intended to tratisfer the Straits settlements from the Indian to the Colonial Department ; or whether that project had been definitively abandoned. Mr. CARDWELL replied that the project had not been definitively abandoned. The question with regard to the military defences was still under the consideration of tho War Department, and until that question was settled the question of charge to the Exchequer could not be deter mined. EPPING FOREST. Mr. DOULTON asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he was aware of ieclosnres now e in Epping Forest to the extent of many hundrercrfelid,bespe eially neer Lovelatoo. Woodford, and Epping ; whether he was aware that Lord Cowley had already , enclosed nearly 300 acres since the announcement was made of the inac tions of her Majesty's government in reference to open spaces ; whether the crown bad any rights over the land so enclosed, or if not, the ate per acre at which the crown's forestal rights had bean purchased ; and whether it was the istention of her Majesty's government to take any steps to prevent any further enclosures pending the intro ' duetion end passing of the bill promised to be introduced early this session. Mr. CHILDERS said be was not aware of any inchoate now going forward in Epping Forest, except those portions of it over which the forestal rights of the crown bad been purchased. The government had no means of knowing what was done with private property. It wee possible that Lord Cowley had embeed a certain number of acres, but that property had been purchased by Lord Morningtou Nome years ego. The particulars relating to the sale of lands had been laid before parliament two years ago; they bad been purchased at the rate of 4/. or 61. an sore. With respect to the other lands, two committees had been ap poieted re consider the question, one in 1883 and the other is 1865, but in oonsatmece of the rionfilotiog reports pre sented by those committees the government had not arrived at any final decision upon the matter. Sir W. HUTT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the government proposed to introduce any mea sure to authorise the collection of agricultural statistics in Great Britain? Mr. GIBSON, who answered the question, said it was the intention of the government to ask for the same vote an they asked for last year in connection with agricultural statistics. ----- CATTLE PLAGUE STATISTICS. Mr. 0. STANLEY sated the Presideot of the Board of Trade, if the reports of the veterinary departmeot relatieg to the cattle pine* could specify in more detail the Mures of the cattle attacked, killed, or died ; if cows, ous, or waives Mr. BRUCE, who replied to the question, said up to the present time the inspectors bad not distinguished in their returns between oxen, cows, and calves. Under the bill which hnd just been passed the local authorities were re quired to make the returns to the Privy Council in torch !arms, and at snob times as the council might direct. He saw no oojection to the adoption of the suggestion of his hon. friend • on the contrary, he thought it would be • great advan tage to adopt it. DISEASES IN SHEEP. Sir J. C. JERVOISE asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether, in view of the Order in Connell 4th July, 1863, end also of the order 19th Fetomary, 1866, relating to "sheep pox or variola ovine," hts ►ttention had been given to the eighth report I of the c mimimioners of her Majesty's Customs, in which that des eder was termed " grab or variola ovine," the first name implying a disease not uncommon in this country, and very easily cured. And, whether he bad noticed, in the sane- report and page (26), that mention was made of " &mem which were sometimes erroneously supposed to be pecuilr to foreign cattle, but which in reality bad existed in the United Kingdom many years before the im portation of foreign animals commenced.* Mr. BRUCE replied that ho bad read the report referred to, end 1 , ,0nd it stated that the sheep affected by scab were rather more than one per cent. But he could not believe that thr commissioners meant to say that the scab wee the varioln ovine, es the two diseases were wholly different. The main luestioo was whether the varlets ovlna was con tagion•. and whether stringent precautions ought not to be taken aceinst the spread of that disease. Out of 70 that bad mowed from Copenhagen and wore taken into North ampto"•bire, eight died of the vesiols ovine, aid cf 88 Englielt cheep 10 bad died, and 10 more were now suffering from the same complaint. The district in which they were had hen isolated. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. •- Mr. LOCK. &eked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's government to introduce any bill into parlisment dung she prei.eot session to amend the law relating to weights sad measures. Mr. CHILDERS. who replied to the question, said it wee the intention of the government to introduce s bill during the present session. JAMAICA. Mr. BUXTON asked the Eli;;;;Zry of State for the Cola ; Hies whether he had reason to believe that the alleged I official 'apart of Mr. Gordon's trial, which had been rut• I , lithe) in England, m'ght be received as an authentic copy I , of the rroceediogs ? I . Mr. CARDWELL stated that the authentic report of the yreeeelirgs of Mr. Gordon's trial bad, with many other do contents, been sent by Governor Evto to Slr Henry Storks to form part of the proceedings of the investigation. No copy of the report had reached him (Mr. Cardwell), and of enure it was not In his power to esprem any opinion upon It. (" flew, hear" from the Opposition.) Mr. BRIGHT wished to ask another qnestion—namely, whether the right hon. gentleman was writhe to lay on the table the despatch's that hail been received at the War De partment and Admiralty from officers in those setvioes con nected with the recent transactions in Jemmies? He pre sumed ;.e• mast have arrived in this country. Mr. CARDWELL mid the aerostat= be bar] laid on the table were those which had Tweed between him and the Governor of Jamaica. The question the hon, gentleman bad put was one which required natio:, as it was one da maedins the consideration of the department. Mr. BRIGHT said he would repeat the question on another evening.

Mr. CARDWELL expensed his gratification at the dis poeitioe shown by the house to confine itself to the con. sideration to the present bill without entering into the general question of the affairs of Jamaica. He stated that by the sumacs of Governor Eyre the government had no intention of prejudging his conduct ; but may inquiry which was to be =de could only have been carried on by ' inde pendent persons.. He acknowledged the cordial spirit in which the bill had been received by the home, whia was, under the circumstances, inevitable. After some short discussion. the bill was read a second time. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The Cattle Plague Bill Ina resonunitted for the purpose of adding new clause, the consideration of which occupied nearly the whole of the remainder of the sitting. Among these clauses was one proposed by Sir G. Grey for the dis infection of cattle pens and the tracks of railway companies. Mr. W. HUNT brought up a clause requiring that foreign animals should be slaughtered at the poste( debark atioe ; but allowing them to be moved one mile to any place within the local district for the purpose of slaughter. and tram Leith to Edinburgh, with a similar relaxation to meet the case of BristoL He observed that he regarded the case of the metropolis as so dangerous, owing to the in fected state of all the lairs near the Metropolitan Cattle Market, that it would be oeoseserl to have all the beasts imported into London slaughtered close to the wham' at which they were lauded.

At the Maui= Home, yesterday, Harare.

Mr. Poland, the barr ier, for the defendants. Mr. ratio, in opening the ems for the prosecution, ex plained that the proceeding was instituted under the pro visions of en act of parliament of the lfitband 19th Victoria which enacted that any preen who should dispose of a pun-barrel that did not bear the mark which denoted that it bad been subjected to the usual proof either by the London or Birmingham Proofing Company, or where, in the case of a gun of foreign manufacture bearing the proof-mark of the country where it was manufactured, the mark was not registered, should be liable to • penalty of 201. for every barrel so disposed of. He said that it was no doubt one of the objects of the legislature by peseing this act to ;invent defective gm-barrel from being sold, whereby very maims mischief might be done to the persons who used such weapons, end the oompany for whom be air I peered having received information that a large number of gun barrels, which had never been submitted to proof, and which did not bear the mark required by the act of par-1 Bement, bad been offered for sale by the defendants, felt it their duty to institute the present proceeding spinal I them. Evidence was then adduced in support of the Marge, 'ad the case appeared to be one of a Tay simple character. The principal witness was Mr. Dudgeon • commission agent, carrying on.lnuiness in Bt. Helen ' s -place, and from his testimony it appeared that, acting under instructions from the complainants, he went to the offices of Mears. Rosen- I teal and Co., and inquired if they had some muskets for sale, and he was informed that they bad, and that the number so disposed of was eleven thousand. It was at the sum time stated that they had been originally manufac tured in Austria for the use of the bethgereete in America, and had cast 2.1. 12s. each, and an attempt was to have been made to run the blockade with them. This, however, could not be done, sad at the conclusion of the war in I America they were seat in cases, containing one hundred rifles each, to Hamburg, end the defendants offered them to Mr. Dudgeon for 7s. 6d. each. He asked that one might be sent to his counting-huuse as &sample, sad he eventually agreed to purchase five of the cues, and paid 371. 10e. for them. Mr. Portlock, one of the assistant proof-masters of the Birmingham Proofing Company, then took pre sorra of them, and he examined them and mortared that they did not bear the proof mark of either the Bir mingham or the London Proofing Company ; bet in cross examination he admitted that them was a mark of a doable-headed eagle in the barrels, but be said he was not aware that this was the Austrian proof mark. In the course of the proossdinp one of the gun-barrels was pro- duced, and it was admitted to bear the London proof mark, which, of omen, denoted that it had been tested and was found to be what is called proof. Evidence was then given that no foreign proof mark bad been registered in this country, except that of Belgium, and this erred the ore for the prosecution. Mr. Poland, in his address to the can't on behalf of the defendants, said, that although an endeavour had been made to invest this our with an air of mystery by some statements that had appeared in some of the papers, it redly was one of a very simple character, aid if his clients bad committed my breach of the law ' it had occurred solely through their entire Ignorance of the fact that each a statute as the one referred to was In existence. The facts were these—A very 1e number of these rifles had been originally manufactured for the use of the Austrian army, at the time of the war with Frame, but in consequence of an improved weapon being obtained they were thrown aside, and were subsequently purchased for the too of the Confederate armies in America. Findieg that they could not be transported to that country, and the war having come to an end, a large number were con signed to a =reheat at Hamburg, in cases containing twenty each, to be disposed of, and he requested the de fendants, who were general merchants, to endeavour to die pose of them in this country. With that view advertise- I mute were inserted in the London and Birmingham news papers, and everything was done in the most open manner, I end the defendants had not the most remote idea that they were committing any offence. With regard to the quality and strength of the barrels, he was retracted that the double-headed eagle that appeared on them was the Austrian government proof mark and to show that there was DO danger to be appre hended by say person using them, one of the barrels which bad been produced had been tested and found to be proof, and on the part of the defendants he was in structed to express their willingness that the whole of the hundred barrels should be subjected to the same test. Under these circumeteneee, he said, be trusted the alder man would consider that although the defendants might have transgressed the strict letter of the law the pur poses of justice would be fully answered by the infliction of a nominal penalty. Mr. Metcalfe said that on the part of the company, who bad no other object than to protect the public, be was not instructed to press for the infliction of a heavy penalty. He at the same time said that it would be noderstood, after the statement that bad been made by Mr. Poland, that the whole of the remaining gun barrels should be tested. Alderman Leak said it was perfectly clear from the evi dence that the defendants had infringed the law. The act of parliament under which the proceeding had been taken was, in his opinion, a very salutary one, for its object was to prevent worthless weapons from being disposed of, which were likely to burst and cause serious mischief to those who made use of them. At the same time the proceeding that bad been taken was a novel one, and he hoped it would operate as a wavier., and, under all the circumamoss, he considered that a fine of is. upon each of the barrel', one hundred in number, would be a su ffi cient punishment for I the offence that had been committed. Ted Alter Term NW Priem Sittings at GrildhelL —(Before the Lord Chief Jratioe end Special Juries.) INGRAM O. PLIkINO, M.P. This was an action to recover 3,0001. upon a promissory note. Mr. Coleridge, Q. 0., and Mr. Quain were pommel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Keene, Q. 0., and the Hon. Mr. Thesiger were counsel for the defe nd ant. The circumstances out of which the action arose had reference so the solvency of the oontractor for the csonstruc- We of Varitor Harbour. The particulars were devoid of Interest, and turned entirely upon the construction of the correspondence, which was very voluminous. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case a verdict was take's, on his lordship's suggestion, for the plaintiff, with leave to the defendant to move the court to enter the ver dict for him. LICOCQ AND W 173 P. THE 800TH4ASTERN ItAILWAY COMPANY. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in con sequence of the loss sustained by the plaintiffs by the death of Hippolits Mercier, a French cook, in what is sow so familiarly known as the Staplehurat accident in June lut. Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy were counsel for the plaintiffs • Mr. Hellen was counsel for the defendants. The deceased, who was about 34 years of age, was consi dered an eminent professed French cook, and he bad been in the service of Count Persigny, Madame Hostellers, the late Lord Clifdes and Admiral Fremantle, port admiral at Plymouth, and at the time of his death he was in the ser vice of the latter at a salary of 1001. per annum. The de cowed was exceedingly fond of Madame Loma% his mother by a previous husband, and also her present husband, who Was a eager baker. They were both old persons, and the deceased frequently made them resnittanoes aocordisg to the increase of his means, and on his last visit to Paris (which was on the occasion when he was killed on the re turn journey) he had promised to allow them sufficient to live upon, and relieve his father-in-law from further work. He had been in the habit of making them remittances vary ing from 600 to 800 franca per annum. Immediately before his leaving England he had a kind of presentiment of some approaching calamity, and he drew up a memorandum or will, in which he spoke of his father-in law and mother in most affectionate terms, and left them an interest is his property, directieg how it should be dis posed off after their decease. The will, of course, led to the belief that he was a man of property, but, strange to say not a farthing bad been, or weld be discovered. He rbeyond all doubt, a pocket book on him when be left ai on his return journey, but it had not been found. The carriage in which he was was smashed to pieces, and he was instantly killed. A German friend of the deceased, also a cook, with an almost unpronounceable name, deposed that the deceased had always expressed his intention to provide for his mother and his stepfather, and relieve them from the fatigues of daily labour. Re estimated the perquisites re ceived by the donated between 501. and 601. The Lad Chief Justice said he was inclined to believe that professed cooks did not make all their profits out of their salaries. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffe—damages 4001.

This was an action to recover compensation in damages for injuries done to °remade' china and other articles. The defendants paid 41. 10s. into court, and pleaded never indebted u to the rest of the plaintiff's claim. Mr. Digby Seymour was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Han non for the defendants The plaintiff, Mrs. Wheeler, a widow, WA last year a passenger for Brighton in an express train. Her luggage consisted of several boxes, in one of which she had packed a vase, several pieces of ornamental chine, and other arti cles of that description. She wanted to place this box in the carriage in which she travelled, but the officers of she company objected to her doing so, and it was put in the luggage van. On arriving at her destination she found the box on the platform, underneath a quantity of other lug gage, and oe opening it discovered that the articles in question had been broken or otherwise damaged. The sum she now claimed was 141. 10a. The only question in the case was whether the articles were personal luggage, it having been decided by one of the superior courts that such luggage was all that a railway company undertook to carry with a passenger, =km there was a special contract to the contrary. At the end of the osse the Lord Chief Baron, on the authority to that effect having been cited, nonsuited the plaintiff, but gave liberty to move the court above on the ' , Mut of law. THE POLICE COURTS. WESTMINSTER. Mesas. Alfred Wyatt Digby and George Atherbbit, of 87, Chanoery-lane, printers, were charged with perjury. The case against item was that they had falsely sworn that 501. worth of damage had been done to their type by Mr. Bruton. printer and machinist, of Crane-court, by taking a mould from it for stereotyping. in au action brought before Baron Bramwell in the Court of Exchequer on the 3rd of February, to recover that amount, &a. Henry Basset, overseer to Mr. Pardon, of Paternoster row, a witness called for the defence, stated that the papier machi process of taking a mould (as at Mr. Bru ton's) was injurious to type, and lowered it so that it was not fit to use with other type. In cross-examination by Mr. Bury Hutchinson he said • his repent experience had proved this, for in using type . from which a cast had been taken and some which bad not ~ together, the impression of the former was so faint that be bad to remove it. Type which had been moulded, although very well for a newspaper, would be unfit for circular', _ notices, or other floe work. The same clses.of type would not be used for the one and the other. If be bad good - type for best work be would not allow it to be sterecity from by the pulp process. After some further evidence to the same effect, Mr. Belie thought that this witness might as well be in. dieted for perjury for the expression of an opinion, how. eves honest it might be, as the defendants. He had no doubt that the witnesses on the other side were speaking _ truly, according to the beet of their opinion, when they had declared that moulding by the pulp process did not injare the type in any way ; but it was after all a matter of opinion ; and surely a man could not be held amenable to toe the law for the expression of his belief, although it might differ from that of others. Mr. Bruton could not conceive that the type was lowered by the antimony flying off sa had been stated by a witness for the defence. If it were precipitated, surely it would be ,el when type was in a molten state being cast. s s i Mr. Selfe said he should not dream of sending the case for trial after the evidence he had heard for the defence. It was impossible for the prosecutor to make anything of the case, as no jury would convict a man because he disagreed ' with another in a matter cf opinion. He did not know, if he had been on the jury, that be should have found for the complainant ; bat that was beside the question. The Lord Chief Baron bad said that there was very little real perjury in different cases, although there might be hard and contradictory swearing, and that in reality there was generally some explanation and excuse to be assigned for the exaggerated view taken. He was sorry Mr. Bruton bad been brought into litigation for what he considered he had a right to do ; he bad been inci dentally drawn into this prosecution. He (Mr. Belle) dis missed the summonses, and he should certainly advise Mr. Bruton not to avail himself of the power given by a recent act of parliament to require the case to be sent to another tribunal for prosecution. Mr. Bruton declined to proceed any further. He wan not disposed to require the magistrate to bind himself and the other witnesses over to prosecute at a triaL SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR HARTLEPOOL.— On Wednesday night the police of West Hartlepool got in. formation of a young woman, about 26 years of age, having been found dead in a gutter, near Cowper' Bewley, about five miles from Hartlepool.

ON TRIAL BY JUIt.Y. —A public meeting was held in the Town-ball, Manchester, yesterday, to petition parliament "to passe declaratory act for se moving doubts ea to the rights of ao heir-at-law or nest-of kin, or other person, to demand a trisl by jury in a'l cases involving contested mattered fact especially those affecting inheritance, status, or nationality, or the conflicting inte rests of the crown sad the subject." The meeting was prmideti over by the Mayor, and the Towo Clerk moved the first resolution, declaring that the common law right of trial by jury, confirmed by Magee Charts, and recognised by many . subsequent statutes, in questions affecting heirship, &c.. Is and always has been the inaliebable tight of every British subject. After referring to the importance attached to this right be Sir Matthew Hale, Mr. Justice SBA:ketone, Lord Erskine, Earl Russell, and by nearly all the leading law lords of the present day, the Town Clerk went on to explain the circumstances under which, in the case "Sheddoo v. Patrick," the late Sir Cresawell Cromwell had set it aside. He read a letter from Sir Fitzroy Kelly to show that the act which the late judge of the Divorce Court had construed as giving him that power was never intended by its framers to bear inch a conetrnetioe, and mentioned that the present judge of that court held opinions opposed to that ruling. The Town Clerk said it was true that there was an appeal before the Home of Lords cm the subject, bat that appeal might go off on a technicality or is MIAOW ways that might indefinitely postpone the mischief done, and by which io effect a single judge bad bees the meths of setting aside one of the most important pro. visions of Mains Charts.

The board of management were, however, pleased to observe some satisfactory indications that this circum stance was beginning to attract the 'Mice of the leading mercantile firms in the City, from whence they had re ceived during the past year or io the preceding 000 nearly one hundred new annual subscribers.
