The reason for this was that owing to the daisy which had takes place from various causes. hot in ► great msamtm from delays of which Mr. Whitworth himself was the mum, the trials only began two months :Igo sad it was not likely that they would be brought to a coulbuthe much before the termination of this year.

It must be recollected that these gees were mall afautund by Sr W. Armstrong, and adapted to his xi st.m, and probably it would not have been at all sati.factory it any other system of titling recommended by any other lot-moor bad been applied to them. However, the detennioation of the War-offieedid not lathe least bind them to the adoption of the shunt principle, the prieciple proposed by Mr. Whitworth, or any other, for future coos trocuoti. W ith regard to the latter past of the question, the system bad Leen extensively tried at Shoeberynom and on board the nery practice ship Excellent at Portsmouth. They bad a great number of reports at the War-office relating to the sul.jew, and he was not aware of any objective to laying them upon the table. It would, however, take a consider able time to prepare them, and as no definitive resolution had been come to in regard to the system to be adopted, he thought it would be as well to defer a productiou of the reports for the presort. REGISTRATION OF TITLES (IRELAND.) Mr. WALDRON asked whether the Bill for the Regis tration of Tales is Irelead would be introduced before the esii of the 'swims ? and Mr. SCULL] inquired whether if a bill would tot be introduced this session the government would consider the props istv of issuing a commission on the subject? Mr. O'HAGAN announced that a bill on the subject of the trader of land in Ireland was in preparation, end he hoped to lay it upon the table on an early day. He did not anticipate the necessity for a commission, se be was can . dent of laying the bill on the table this session. coatroom decency. (Hear, hear.) But when imputations were so lavishly ease Ines the characters of honourable men without notice and!withint affording any opportunity for • reply to the charge*, he thought it only consistent with right and justice to Mon • mama a Lich, however right is itself, was brought forward ender tech circumstances. (Cheers.) He hoped that the boom, rennet Unbeaten, that the goverment had no objection to the inquiry itself, would reject a motion brought forward as this was, Red in that way Mein • proper meson upon the manner in which the boa. gentleman had performed a public duty. (Cheers-) Mr. M. SMITH said it was not his place to defied a whig government or ita appointments, bat knowing the commis sworn who hoed been wailed by the hon. member foe Devonpott he most state his belief that the charges brought forward against them wen wholly unfounded. (Hear, bear.) The noble lord who was at the bead of the government when the appointments of the momentums,. were mode made them with reference to the ability and the integrity of the men, and be was quits sure, as far as the chief com missionr was 0000erned—a man whom be had known for many years—• moan honourable and conscientious parson did sot exist. (Hen, hear.) U that gentleman had any poll. Cad feeling at all, mid if nit weed the mildest description, not a tinge of that feeling would be allowed to enter into say of his decisions. Mr. OSBORNE, however be might regret the highly coloured, if not exaggerated, etatennta made by the hoc. gentleman the member for Devouport, is bringiog this motion before the house, could not help regretting also the manner in which it had been met by her Msjesty's govern ment. (Hear, hear.) Whee they bad a member of pule meat on his own responsibility remelt down to the house with an imposing array of farts and &collection of oranges— (laughter)—and making • speech of an hoar and a half long, containing the gravest charges possible to be made in that house againt gentlemen to public offices, he did not think it wee lucomiug to the government to resist gelatin a committee of inquiry. (Hear.) If these change brought forward by the boo. gentlemen were not founded in fact they would rebound upon himself, and he would neer be able —he would not say to show his face again in that house, for be knew he was • man of great bravery— (l•ughter)—Mit to bring forward another charge in that house. (Haar.) Mr. ADDERLEY would be sorry to give • vete which should to any way appear to redeet either on the Charity Commission or the Charity Commie:osiers ; but when uneaten were made against them. although the house might take exception to the tone and temper of the bon. member—(bear, hear) —he thought ths accusations should be I iaquired into. Mr. LOWE said that he could not agree with the hoe. member fur Liskeard or the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Adderley), that because • gentlemen chose, without baying the slightest regard to the feelings of other., or without giving any notice to hon. members who were able to defend those who were precluded from defending themselves, to get up and scatter ecru. sations broadcast against honourable men, with out !mein regard to the fact that whatever was stated in that house was published, and that stains might attach to men's characten from his wanton trey of talking —he could not agree that such accusations, so made, were sufficient reasons for calling upon parliament to inquire into the matter. That win particularly so when such charges were made by a gentleman whose past career in that house ought to have made him particularly careful in exercising that right of speech which they all poseemed, and of which they were justly proud, but which ought to be exercised with dignity, moderation, end care for the feedings of others. (Great cheering.) The hon. gentleman, when he moved for the papers on which he founded his prevent motion, asserted that the Charity Commissioners had abstracted 78,600/. from the money of the charities, and he pledged hinmaU to prove that to the house. But where was his proof' He had sot brought for ward any—(bear, beer)—and be (Mr. Lowe), therefore, asked the house if, with these samples of the hon. gentle man's reckleesome of assertion and vehemence of accusakoo, they wen willing to grant • committee to inquire into his charges spinet the ODMMiIIIiODOTIL (Hear, bear.) Mr. FERRAN!) explained that he bad distinctly stated the chine of misappropriation of the 78,0001. was oue made in that hones by Mr. Apeley Pellatt. Mr. J. A. SMITH said that the charges against Mr. Grey were utterly and gratuitously false, and in opposing the ap poinciana of • committee be took credit to himself for doing so on grounds more clear and more distinct than any yet mentioned. He foetid them in the journals of tee home for the 10th April. 11444, which declared that the imputa tions which the hon. gentleman (Mr. Fernand) had in that year made upon the character of the late Sir James Graham and Sir James Weir Hogg were wholly unfounded and calumnious (hear, bear)—and did not effect in the slightest degree the honour and character of those two members to whom they were applied. (" Hear, bear," and cheers.) Just so, the charges against Mr. Grey did nut affect in the slightest degree his honour or his dignity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MAIANS believed the commission was working very admirably. He regretted that a gentleman who sat oe the some side of the house with him should not 'mese:erne d more forbearance and delicacy of feeling for others in bringing forward his motion. (Hear, bear.) He truskd the house world not make itself • party to these personal attacks. (Hear, hear.) Lord GALWAY said he thought that the charity com mission was at any rate preferable to the Court of Chancery. Anything worse than the Court of Chaocery's superinten dence of charities was impossible. if the inquiry asked for was to embrace the question of expellee he would vote for it. He did not wish to say a word against the Charity Com missioners, but be could not help stating that the solicitor's bill was most exorbitant. (Loud cries of " Divide.") The house then divided, when the numbers were: For Mr. Ferrand's motion 4O Against it ll6-76 SUPPLY. The hones then went into committee of amply. On the vote of 21,2784 for the salaries end allowances of the governors of the West li.dian mid South American colonies, Mr. HENNESSY moved the reductive of the vote by a sum of 450/.. the additional charge for the colony of Anguilla. The island wee formerly owe of some importance, and was the spot from which Sea Island cotton originally 0n.... Its trade was now greatly dinliniehed, and it. total reveeue amounted to about 4141. asonally. The population consisted of about 100 whites and 2,40 U blacks. There was a local body, which levied taxes, and seemed to regulate the charges that the committee were abed to pay. lt wee now sonOt to increase the annual grant by • sum of 4501., for the ezpooem of a presiding magistrate, and to this additional expenditure he objected. The committee divided — For the reduction 34 Against it 104,561. for consuls abroad. Yr. AYRTON wished to know whether any arrangement had bees made for the re•appointmect of consuls in the Con federate States! He was afraid that there was a sort of combination between our consuls and the foreign police to elect money from English traveller.. Mr. LAYARD muse say it was a most unjustifiable thing to bring such a charge against our consuls aimed. (Hear, hear.) He repudiated the emulation altogether. It was utter', unfounded. With regard to the consuls in the Con federate States, no arrangemeats had been made for their reappointment. but it would be very ungenerous to stop their galena under the cinumatances. Sir G. BOWYER said that the burst of red tape indigos, tiou which they bad just heard wen really enough to take away one's breath. It illustrated the saying that there was only one step front the sublime to the ridiculous. (Hear, bear.) With retard to our eosin! at Rome. be could understand what wee the use of • annul there. He wee not aware what conneetioe there was between Rome and this country. (Laughter.) Rotue was not • 'commercial city, but the fact was that the British consul is that city bail always been • political character. He thought the consul at Rome ought to be suppressed, bemuse he was sot only useless bat mischievous. Mr. WHITESIDE baked for so expleoatioo of the &Wee of Mr. Ode }Wastell. Captain JERVIS also joined in that request, and asked what salary he received. Mr. LAY ARD said that every member of the committee moat be perfectly well aware of what the duties of Mr. Odo Russell consisted. (No, no.) Well, if they did not know them, be could not explain what they were. (Laughter, and " Oh.") It was well known that by the act of panic. merit no person could hold a diplomatic position at Rome— ' (Cries of What salary ?")—but at the same time it was well to have a British agent at Rome to report to the go vernment at home. He really did not know at the moment what salary Mr. Odo Rouen received, but he believed be was paid the salary attached to the office of a second seas tory. He would repeat that Mr. Odo Russell was not ac- I credited to Rome, but resided there for the purpose of attending to business which could not be neglected. Mr. AYRTON said the real question was whether the amoral at ROW, could not do the business there without the interference of Mr. Odo Russell. whose functions the Under-Secretary found it ito difficult todefine. Lord PALMERSTON mid that by the lawn it stood we were precluded from Laving direct diplomatic relations with Rome. As act of parliament had bees passed some years mime authorising such relations. but that act contained a clause providing that so ecclesiutie should he received in this country as the representative of the Pope. The court of Rome took offset* at that clause, sad said that if it could not be represented by as ecclesiastic it should not be represented at all, sad also that an accredited minister from England would not be received. It appeared, however, to the government almost childish that the great object of having diplomatic intercourse with the sovereign of Rome should be foiled by a mere question of etiquette, and accordingly the Secretary of Legation at Florence was sent to Roma, to be our us organ these. He (Lord Palmerston) forgot who it was who original) y went there, but of late Tears Mr. Ckle Russell had been, although unofficially, the diplomatic agent of the aroma of England at Rome. He wee permitted the freest access to the Pope, was on the best possible terms with him, and was these solely for diplo mat& purposes. It was qeme a mistake te suppose that he was engaged is any polities.' intrigues, or otherwise em ployed than in giving his government the information which was usually supplied by diplomatic agent.. Hie functions were totally distinct from those of • coral, sad could sot be perfermed Ly that functionary. Mr. H. SEYMOUR said that the consular sad diplomatic duties were salted in many places, and be did not see why they sheeld sot be suited in Rome. The tole was spud to. Os the vote of 106,503& for tbWoonsular service abroad, Mr. H. SEYMOUR moved that the chairuuus report Progress. Lord PALMERSTON said u the discussion oo this vote bad lasted two hours, be hoped the committee would agree to this vote to-sight. The 'warmest did not mess to take any other vote blight Mr. H. SEYMOUR said there were msny important questions still to be discard on this vote ; for iestues. Use small amount of fees paid over by the consuls to the government. Mr. LA YARD said if his hoe. friend would look to the accounts be would see there had been annually as itlarellall in the amount of fees paid over to the government The committee thee divided : For reporting progress Against lll-71 Mr. D. GRIFFITH moved that the Chairman do leave the chair. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh.") Lord PALMERSiON hoped timbals, would go on with this vote. Mr. GRIFFITH had no objection to go on if the house would only give him ten minutes. (" Oh, ob," and laughter.) He wished to obtain mime explanation with respect to the system of fees. He condemned the system of taking fees air passports, whether the money went to the consul or to the government. Lord PALMERSTON said that at one time the consuls were paid by fees solely, the result of which was that there were great inequalities in the salaries of the consuls in different localities. With a view to remedy these in. equalities the committee which at a few years ago recom mended that the consuls should be paid by Axed alariee. That was done ; but the eoosuls Mill performed certain no tarial acts, and he thought it only fair wheel individuals called on them to perform such acts that a small payment should be paid for such services. (Hear. hear.) Sir M. FARQUHAR said he did not see why Englishmen travelling abroad should not pay small fees for services for which they would probably have to pay more at home. He thought the fees ought to he defrayed by the travellers abroad. The amendment was then nefottived and the vote agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then reported program, and the home reeamed. SUPPLY URPORT. Oe consideration of postponed reeolutions of supply, Mr. BUTT, who had on the paper a notice, on resolution of expenses of inspectors of factories, to call attention to the inadequate reinueezation of the special commisauners of Irish fisheries, especially the legal commissioner ; and to move, that the vote be reduced by the sum of 1,4451., the salaries and expenses of the coin. missiasees foe Ireland ; bud b• must call the attention of his tight honourable friend the Chief Secretary to this subject. (Cries of "Adjourn.") After a short conversation, Mr. BUTT withdrew his arneedment, and the resolution was agreed to. INLAND REVENUE (STAMP DUTIEI3) BILL.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Toss 16. .A.PYEALS. TILVERTON ek, YELVIRTON. After our report left yesterday, The Attorney-Guaira having gone through the cor respondeDoe and quoted pommy* from it illustrative of the argument which has been stated, and having brought it down to the point at which the appellant and respondent met in Edinburgh, at the epoch when the Scotch marriage is alleged to have taken place. proceeded to argue the ques tion of Scotch law involved, affirming, as may be supposed, that there was • verbal contract between the parties which crested what may be called • prima facie marriage according to Scottish law, and that the cohabits tioo, which the respondent admitted to have occurred alter the Iriah marriage, was such as to satisfy the requirements of the law of Scotland with regard to copula, and its con nexion with the marriage contract in that country. He urged that consent to marriage, • promise of marriage, might be discovered by habit sad repute, and that the erideave of ' habit and repute, as applicable to that deduction. of the parties in Scotland was quite sufficient to establish such as &grew:gaol to marry. He quoted au thorities and cases decided by Lord Stowell in this country, and by the judges io Soothed in support of Lis coateotioc. In regard to the conduct of the respondent while in Scot land, it was contended that it was consistent only with the purest intention, and with a view to marriage alone ; and that was evidenced by the fact that she took with her and kept as an inmate, layout's lady of 20, Mum Macfarlue. If she went to Edinburgh simply for the purpose of throw ing herself into the arms of the appellant, there was no difficulty in finding every convenience for carrying out such • purpose secretly and quietly, whereas the respondent took care to festal! herself in a respectable lodging, most ill-adapted for carrying oa an improper intimacy, west into society, and moved amongst ber friends ; acting altogether as a person who had no notion of the deliberate impropriety which bed been attri bated to her. The evidence of indifferent persons in Edin burgh went to sbow that the conduct of the appellant and the respondent towards each other was perfectly correct and proper, while it was that which might be expected from two persona engaged to be married. The learned counsel referred to the letters written by the respondent after she left Scotland, and in the interval between that time and their meeticg in Ireland, sad urged that the deduction from them was that there had been a Scotch marriage which did not satisfy her conscience sufficiently to induce her to permit the appellant to enjoy those conjugal rights which he had pressed ; and the refusal of which had caused them to part angrily ; sod expressed her fears of her own weakness ou that point if they should meet again before such a ceremoey should take place between them as should satisfy her religious scruples as a Roman catholic. It was contended that in the letter in which the appellant acknowledged the receipt of some mar riage cords of Mr. and Rm. Shears, sent to him by the re. speediest, there was a distinct admission of promise of mar ries, while the agitated sad impassioned letter of the nap= dent in reply to it, which had been so much commented on, and which contained the expression. " I who have sacrificed ell but God for you," proved that she bad not yielded to the appellant ; for that expression could ocly be construed into meaning that she bad not sacrificed her religious scruples, which had not been satisfied by the Scotch marriage. The lammed comae' had not concluded when the home adjourned. planation is very ussatisfactory. We beg once more to point out that our columns are ogee to the lady or her legal representatives, and that we shad be happy to publish any further eaplsnatios that they may think desirable or us cosset y." The plaintiff, her father, brother sal eider were essinised, sad they said that the assoysaa caused by the articles was so great, that it wu not &mire ble that the plaintiff or her sister should continue in the shop, aod the takings fell o ff from 10/. or 11/. a week to about half that sum. It appeared, however, that previous to the article there bad been a bill up that the shop was to be let, and the plaintiff said she at that time intended to take larger premises. It also seemed that the plaintiff had not been much in the busincee for three months before the article was written. Mt. Chambers submittal that the article wee not libel lous, inasmuch u it was only a fair comment upon what had taken plaoe at Guildhall. Mr. Justice Bytes said that he should leave to the jury the question whether the article was libellous, but he added that it was evident that there was no malice—in the ordi nary meaning of the term—on the part of the writer. Mr. Chambers than urged the view which be had pre viously submitted to the judge upon the jury, and after the putting io of the report of the proceedings at Guildhall, which were admitted to be correct, Mr. Hawkios replied upon the whole case. Mr. Justice Myles, in summing up, said that the iouendo in the declaration was that the libel meaot that the occu pants of 151, Cheapeide, were suspected of having allowed the use of that house as an address for the purposes in the libel mentioned, and that it was necessary for the plaintiff to do something not dated in the libel to clear herself of that suspicion. If such were in fact the meaning, then un doubtedly the article was a libel, for a libel was anything in wilting which tended to bring a person into hatred, con tempt, or ridicule ; but the question for the jury was, whether this was the true meaning. The jury, after considering the matter for two boars, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 40s. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Jmoi 16. (Mom W. Oommisamir Goultbum) IN ILE COLOSZL WAUGH.

Mr. Bagley appeared in rapport of a proof tendered by the official managers of the London and Eastern Banking °cepa ration (now winding-up) for no lees a sum than 239,C301., being the amount alleged to be due from the bankrupt for calls and on balance of account. Hie Honour , 11;f;Iiiiiii;ii;prooerdiugs, mid it appeared that the proof had been brought before the late Mr. Com. masiouer Evans, sad by him rejected, except se far as related to a sum of 14,5004 As the matter had been already adju. dicsted upon by • commissioner , be did sot think that he could now entertain the application. Mr. Bagley said it was an entirely different proof which he DOW 1:0010t to MlbMit. Besides, the matter bad only been put before Mr. Cominisconer Evans as • claim, and allowed by him as • claim to a certain amount. Hit Honour said he had been total by Mr. Evans himself that the claim bad been tendered as • proof, and cm such rejected by him. As it was only entered on the proceedings as • claim, be presumed he moat allow the case to be again discussed. It was very unjust to the other creditors that parties should beallowed, instead of going to the appellate jurisdiction, to come 1141114 to this court, after • lapse of five or sic years. and seek to get • decision reversed. Mr. Harlitt, the registrar, pointed out as order on the tugs directing that the claim of the Leaden and proceedings directing that lb. claim of lbs Loodo and Esatesn Bank should be investigated by Mr. Tutquand, ac countant ; but it did not appear that any report had been made by Mr. Truguand. Mr. Bagley said that would not affect the cl•imante, as they bad sot consented to the reference to Mr. Turqnand. Two proofs were now tendered on behalf of Mr. Stuart and Mr. Ball, the otficsal managers of the bank—ose for 239,5.561. Ida. 10d., the other for 36.2501. is respect of calls on 290 shares, in all 275,8064 18s. 10s. Mr. H. Unklater, for the assignees, said he had en deavoured to agree with Mr. Munn' as to the amount, but before doing that he felt that they most have something on the proceedings on oath. He was told by the bankrupt that credit ought to have been given him for 91,011:01., as would appear from the books of the bank, in respect of Agra Bask shares and other property deposited with the Loodou and Eastern Bank ; also that he had been debited with 230 shares which in reality belonged to Major Loogworth. He also complained that be bad given the bank security on the Bracksea Island property, and that it was owing to their own lathes it had not been realised. Under those circumstances it wu desirable that the matter should be adjourned for investigation, and they might then agree on some amount which should be proved. Mr. Bagley said that Branksea Island had been before the bank bad anything to do with it. It wti or l g b i l the first mortgagee, and had sot realised the amount of the mortgage. He war told that the assignees had already had ample time for investigating the proof, end they had not succeeded in reducing it by one shilling; they merely rug. gaited some possible set-offs or =eolith He must oppose the adjournment. His Honour said be was bound on every principle to grant the adjournment. There had been so affidavit on the file until this day, sod the assignees were properly wished to in. vestigate the claim. Here was a proof submitted for up wards of a quarter of • tuillion, and not to give time for its investigation would be monstrous. Mr. Serviced, in reference to the seemed proof for 36,2504, stated that Colonel Waugh disputed it all bat about 7,0001. Ultimately the consideratiou of both proofs was ad. Joni oed, his Honour suggesting the desirability of so agree. meat as to the amount. THE ASHANTEE WAR. Sir J. HAY—I wish to pat a question to the Secretary to the Admiraltv, of which I have given him private Potion, on the subject of the Ashantee war. It will be io the recol lection of the house that the right boo. gentleman the Secretary for the Colonise, in reply to a question from the right boa. baronet elm member for Droitwich, in May, pro mised that the war should be pat a stop to, and a transport ant to fetch away the troops. 1 wish to ask the noble lord whether, in accordance with the promise given before W hit , suntide, any transports have been sent to convey troop from the Gold Coast, what number of men are to be conveyed, and when the ship sailed. (Hear, hear.) Lord C. PAGET-1 bsve to state that arrangements hare been made for removing those troops whom it was in tended to remove from Cape Coast Castle to the West ladies. We have taken up a transport, which will be ready to proceed in a few days to the Cape de Yard Islands. We have also ordered her Majesty's ship Gladiator, paddle steamer, to proceed at once to Cape Coast Castle, to Ming away the troops, calling at Sierra Leone and Cape de Yerd Islands to meet the transport which is to convey them from thence to the West India Wands. We expect that the transport will arrive is time to be waiting at Cape de Vend the arrival of the Gladiator from Cap Coast Castle with the lumps on hoard. The number is /lightly above 5430 that is intended lon he removed by the war department. Sir J. HAY-1 have also a question to put to the Under Secretary fur War, of which I have given him notice. I ish to silk him bow it is that only one transport for SCO men is provided, when the retorter in the heeds of mem bers thus morning show 1,402 men at Cape Coast Castle, in addition to the garrison, and whether there is reason to suppose, as I fear there is too good reason, that 1,000 men have died The Marquis of HARTINGTON—We have, I am happy in PO "MOO at all to suppose that 1.0 C.) men at Cape Coast Castle have died. On the contrary, the lad returns rec.:lva] from Cape Coast show that the rank and tile are not sutliamr from any great amount of sickness at the prevent time. The protases which was given by my right hoe. friend the Secretary for the Colonies was, that those troops which had bee. specially seta from the West ladies to the Gold Coast for this object of dare war should be removed from thence, and the force on the Gold Coast reduced to its normal dimensions. It bad been decided long before the outbreak of these hostilities that the permanent force on the Cold Coast should consist of one battalion, and the remo►al of these Mk) moo will leave about 7UO or SW men, which is the force intended to be stationid there. 31r. H. SEYMOUR—Is it tine that cf the 51 officers lauded at Cape Carat Castle 13 have already dial and that It/others are sick. according to the last returns, sod whe ther cut of the 1,400 men WO died or awe invalided a short time after their arrival '? The Marquis of HARTINGTON—It is unfortunately true that. within the last year, thirteen officers have died on the Gold Coast, and about the number meatiooed have been invalided. The return. will be laid upon the table this erasing, and will be in the heeds of members to-morrow . . iii , ,rPAKLNGTON—Whes wee the caviar given for the Mullet°, to proored ; and will she have proper accommo dation fix MO men ? _ Lord C.

(filar, bear.) Lord C. PAGET—The nanos why we send a transport to the Cape de Verd Islands is to save time ; that is to say she would hare to beat up against contrary winds to Cape Coast Castle, and we think time will be saved by sending the Gladiator atraifht to Cape Owlet to carry the troops to the CApe de Verd islands. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE—What is the name of the trans- F^ Lo rt ? rd C. PAGET—I cannot sire the hon. baronet the name, but she IS a sailing ship.

(Laughter.) SLPPLY.—BOARD OF CHARITY COMMISSIONERS. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. FERRAN!, moved fora select committee to femurs into the constructioe, the expense, and the working of the Board of Clarity Ommoissimers. He complained of the enormous expense of the hoard, 18.2501. a ymr, which had grows up from 3,004/. orB,ooof. . • that it we. • tribunal from which the public were debarred ; that he had been refused a return of the professions, trades, and callings of the commissioture, who were clothed with tinumml and arbitrary powers, agnimt their exercise of which he had, 'be said, received grievous complainta. He entered at much length into the history of the hill of 1855 for the reconstromion of the bawd, inveighing in very severe terms stalest the conduct of the government of the day in Me ilen to it. and **mostly to the appointment of the M. spectore, with regard to one of whom he related some extra ordinary circumstances. He challenged infiniry into this appointment. to which he applied the terms • odious" end iniquitous." and undertook to prove the facts be stated before the committee. After denouncing vehemently what be termed the grow johbery connected with the appoint ments in the mteblishroent, he examined the working of the hoard ono the expeoditere attending it for travelling expenses. He entered into a long detail of facts and opinions to show that the charity curamissiooers had neg lected their duty, insistieg, in conclusion, that he had made out a strewn VW and shown a disgraceful state of things that ought to be inquired into. Mr. MORRISON defended the charity with which he was convected, but with regard to the general question he thought that inquivy would he of great service. Mr. F. PON ELL protested against the acematioes brought against the trustee of the charity for which he wee interested. Mr. FERRAND said that the transactions be bed re _ [erred to tookploe• before Me hoe. fried became. threes. Mr. F. FO ELI. said that if tbe has. member withdrew his meimatioo there ass no necessit► far reply, but the fact wen that he was trustee at the time alluded to. Then was • plot of mend which had bees sold, and respecting which much comment bad bean made. When that plot was for sale the traders sent far two independent surveyors from Bradford, and the property was sold on their valuation. The fact was that the charity had been vastly bassfited by the sales which had been effected. As one of the trustees, however, w►ose conduct had been impugned. he hoped the home would grant the inquiry which was asked far by the boo. member. Mr. BRUCE wished that the tone which had been adopted by the hon. member for L'avooport bad been such as to permit the government to accede to his motion. There could be so mon legitimate subject of inquiry than the mode is which the Charity Commimeimers performed their duties, and had the hon. member confined his remarks to that object they wculd have been everyway deserving of attentioe. But hie speech bad had no reference to the reel, substantial merits of the question, but had coesisted of • loran of attack, on the commissioners and their subordi nates. Of the c^n:missioners the hem member merely said they wore inefficient, but in addition be had undo the moat violist attacks easiest obscure individuals who bad se power of reply . . (Hear, hear.) He fair. truce) was se settfied that an inquiry into the proceedings of these gristle men would only redound to their honour and credit, aid only lead to an sztemion of the powers which had bees so advantageously given to the Charity Om miesim, that he should have been glad to anomie to the Boohoo if it did bola brought forward wit► COURT OF COMMON PLICAS.-Juxi 16. Sittings at Nun Pries in Iliddlssex—(l3ofors 31r. Justice Byles sod • Spatial Jury.) lIILLESGIEN V. JOHNSTONE AND •NOTHZIA-LIBEL. The plaratiff in ll:imams brought two actions—one against the Storming Herald, ►nd the other against the Evening Slanaard, to recover damages torso alleged libel which had been published is ens paper, and copied lot* the other. Both actions were by arrangement tried together. The °sly plea was not guilty. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Aston appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. 11. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Barnard for the defendants. The plaintiff, Miss Kate Milliegen,lwas • young woman about 21 years of age, the daughter of an umbrella maker in Fore-street ; and in February, 1863, she opened atium brella shop at 151, Chespside. In the same house were the Central News Rooms, and is March last it wee discovered that some persons Lad rased • circular-for the purpose of entrapping young women, sad aaawers were to be sent to 151, Onwards. Some proceedings took pleas io reforest* to this matter in the Guildhall Police -court, and the article in question was founded upon the report of them proceed ings. In the course of it the writer asked " Who is the scoundrel who uses this address for his crime? Is there more thee one? Who and what are they? Who employs them? Who permite the use of the address in such • defi ance of good fame and public opinion r sad afterwards added, " We turn to the London Directory and endeavour to see who is recorded there as living or having • place of banana at 151, Cheapside, and here is our cprotatiori ` 151, Millingen, Miss Kate, umbrella maker ; 151, Central News Rooms, William Francis Wellbeloved, reariager.' Now, after the horrible imputations under which ' No. 151, Cheapeide' has lain for the last fortnight, it seems to on that Miss Milliogsa or Mr. Well- beloved, if they be aright but umbrae umbrarurn, ought as honest people to *mist in removing the oppro brium which attaches to their piece of business." Another paesage was, "The landlord, ground landlord, tenants and commonalty far and war of this well known thoroughfare, should take this matter up and briog the dastardly wretches into full view and public contempt, if nothing more deterreut is possible. In the elder days of the liberties of this great city such a flagrant 'nodal would never have remained without fitting remedy.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Boarirotto, Jars 16.—The decline I. the rate of dimmest has operated favourably upon this market. We reported last week that the down ward tendency ia wool had received a check, and we most Dow report that to-day the Medway of quotations was, if anything, upward. Several circomstaeoes, including the unsettled state of cootinental politioi, combined to keep spinners out of the wool market, cad the remit wee that quotations fall rather too rapidly. Spinners, however, were only ill supplied with wool, and the stocks he the market are only limited. They oo saner returned to pur- chase th►n the downward tendency was checked, sad to day the quotations are rather stiffer. There u a fair business doing is all aorta of wool at somewhat improved rates. There is still a good boleti's!' doteg is worsted yarns. The deemed is chiefly for home end Lancashire. There is also a good business doing in single 40's for Ramie. Spioners are well employed to orders. The quotatiecia of last week are well maintained. The firmness in the wool market bar led to a somewhat greater activity in pieces. The export booms, who bad abstained from business for several market days, have now becomeactive, and placed sornegood orders in both light sod heavy fabrics. A little bas also been done for the home trade sod is the new cuir shades of poplins, plain and fancy; sod indeed all fashionable shade' of this article continue to be taken ver► readily. Orleans makers are perhapelthe least busy. Producers geoerally, however, are all well employed ou orders previously taken, and are we lineally booking fresh ones. The last America. mail hag brought but few orders, and the buyers who are over are doing very little. Prices are very firm, at fully previous quotations. Is exceptional cases a slight drawn is asked.

There are no symptoms yet of giving way in yams suit able for the lace market ; therefore, the ralee of plain cotton nets are almost of a retail character. There is a slight improvement in black silk lases and edgings, and the demand for silk Neckline mid silk quilling' coot:Muss active. Stocks are very low, and every one is awaiting with much anxiety the return to something like the old re. latices between buyer and seller ; but we fear that is still far distant—le the hosiery departments, stock•takiig prevents anything like animation is the Loam trade, but there is rather more life in the demand for exportation.
