HOUSE 07 LOEOB.-71194.; Itasca 29. Ix the House of Loans, yesterday, the royal assent was given by commission to several bills. The Marquis of gALISBURV, in moving for certain returns connected with the militia, said there had been a gradual yearly reduction of the strength of the militia from the termination of the Crimean war to the present tune, the reduction being from 120,000 to 70,000. He recommended a revision of the whole system, with a view of maintaining the strength of that body. The Earl of LoNarono said there was no objec tion to the granting of the return. The recruiting was not so slow as represented. As far as he could make out, the deficiency at the present time was 800 officers and 7,000 men. _ _ _ Earl DE GREY and RIPON thought it of im portance, especially considering what was taking place in foreign countries, that the number and efficiency of the militia force should be maintained. The Duke of SOMERSET moved for a return of the number of lieutenants on the active list of the navy in each year from 1816 to NO% He said an impression prevailed that there were too many young lieutenants in the navy, but his opinion was that there were too few. The return was agreed to. . _ _ Bill The Oyster i was read a second time, and the Consolidated Fund (7,924,0001.) Bill a third time. The house adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FIunsx, Maims 29. 1N the HOUSE of COMMONS, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to questions from Mr. Esmonde and Mr. O'Beirne, stated that the Irish Reform Bill would be brought in as soon as possible after Easter. Mr. Gotehmin called attention to the competi tion for the new National Gallery, and moved for , a copy of further correspondence between the architects and the First Commissioner of Works. The architects complained of the vagueness of the instructions, and that none of their designs had been selected. Mr. GREGORY also enforced the claims of the architects to consideration. Mr. Cowrza admitted that there had been a great deal of vacillation shown in this matter, but said that had not arisen from the conduct of the executive government, but from the house having appointed one committee after another on the subject. Mr. B. HOPE defended the conduct of the judges. He admitted that there was great architectural skill in some of the designs, but the judges could not recommend the adoption of any one of them. Mr. Tite, Lord Elcho, and Captain Gridley also addressed the house, making various suggestions. Lord J. MAN Naas promised to take these sugges tions into consideration, and to consult the trustees of the National Gallery on the subject. Sir F. GOLDSMID called attention to the con dition of the Servian Jews, who complained of a law which prevents them from carrying on any business they have not been accustomed to follow, requires that they should reside in particular dis tricts, and prohibits Jews from owning to reside in the country. He moved for papers on the subject. Lord STANLEY agreed that we had a moral right to give advice to the government of Servia on this matter. He was afraid, however, it was impossible to deny that the conduct of theServian government towards the Jewish community was unworthy of a people which aspired to have a place among the civilised communities of Europe. If he were not misinformed, however, it was the conduct of the Servian people that the Jews had more reason to complain of than the conduct of the Servian go vernment. The influence of the British govern ment had been exerted, and he hoped would con tinue to be exerted, in Servia and everywhere else, in the cause of toleration, but it must not be sup posed that they could easily overcome the prejudice of many ages. Mr. LAYARD cordially agreed with what had fallen from Lord Stanley. He was sorry to say that the great enemies of the Jews in Turkey were the Christian", and such was the persecution that in cities the Jews were compelled at Easter to keep their houses, for if a Jew were eeen in the streets, he would be torn to pieces. He hoped that what had taken place in this house would go to the East, and that both Greek and Servian would laarn that they would not be supported in their own claims for freedom if they persecuted others. The subject then dropped. Sir J. GRAY called attention to the conduct of certain magistrates of the county of Tyrone, and to the observations reported to have been made thereon by Mr. Justice Keogh at the 116317A3 court of that county on Friday last. He stated that a number of protestants, with drums and fifes, as sembled at Donoughmore, in that county, and a collision took place between them and the catho lic'. A number of persons were taken before the magistrates, who committed several catholic' for unlawfully assembling, but only one protestant,and him they committed on the charge of assault only. He read the observations of Mr. Justice Keogh, who declared that the magistrates had not done their duty, and that he should bring their conduct before the Lord Chancellor. The same witness, he said, who identified the catholics who were charged I identified the protestants ; but while the magus trates took his evidence against the catholics, they declared it insufficient against the protestants. The hon. member referred to the proceedings of the Orange Confederacy from 1835 to the present time, and gave several instances of "wrecking," which he described to be the total or partial demolition of houses by Orangemen, and of cases in which Orange juries had acquitted, against the evidence, Orange men charged with such offences. Major Knox defended the magistrates from the charge brought against them, and said the pro testanta committed no breach of the peace till they were attacked. Lord C. HAvirroit also defended the magis trates, and Mr. SULLIVAN the conduct of Mr. Justice Keogh. Lord NAM said the Lord Chancellor, if a repre sent►tion were made to him, would make a full inquiry into the case, and he thought that the matter ought not to have been brought forward till that inquiry had been made. The discussion, which turned mainly on the effect, injurious or beneficial, of Orangeism in Ire land, was continued at great length, and was parti cipated in by Mr. Vance, Mr. Bagwell, Mr. Lanyon, Mr. C. Fortescue, Mr. Connolly, Mr. Serjeant Barry, and Sir H. Edwards, the latter of whom spoke of the members who had attacked Orangeiam as Fenians, but being called to order by the Speaker, he retracted that expression, but then spoke of them as sympathisers with Fenianism, and was called to order for that expression also. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the debate reminded him of the kind of debate that was common when he first became a member of the house some thirty years ago, and he hoped it would not be continued. He advised Sir H. Edwards to retract the expression he had used. Sir H. EDWARDB then withdrew the expression, and the motion of Sir J. GRAY for papers was negatived without a division. Colonel G. NCGENT then brought forward the subject of pensions to the Irish constabulary, and moved that it is desirable that every constable should be allowed a pension after twenty-five years' service. Lord NAAS pointed out that by a measure of last year a great increase was made in the pay and allowances of the constabulary, and that the pre sent charge for superannuation was now very large. After some discussion the motion was negatived, and the house went into committee of supply, and a sum of 2,0001. was voted for rewards to the Irish constabulary, for their conduct during the late Fenian disturbances. The Alimony Arrears Bill was read a second time. The Religious, &c., Buildings, Sites, &c., Bill was read a third time and parsed. Mr. Lawson obtained leave to bring in a bill to provide for the winding up of railway companies in Ireland in certain cases. The house adjourned at 25 minutes to 1 o'clock. *parting intelligtatt. LEWES SPRING METING—FamAT. no card issued for the concluding day of this meeting con tained six Items, the sweepstakes of 5 sun. each baring tailed to fill. Despite that a very attractive programme had been issued for the aristocratic affair In Creston-perk the, attendance here was quite as large as that of the opening day, and the wea ther being again delightfully fine • pleasant afternoon was spent. Sport commenced at two o'clock with the Innkeepers' Plate, and terminated at half-past four with the Scurry Handi cap. For the flat-named event the money was literally piled on British Tar, who won all the way. Like the handicaps which have preceded It, that decided to-day on Lewes downs resulted in the defeat of the favourite. Foresight, the win ner of the Liverpool Spring Cup, was made • hot 'tin. the money being laid on In heaps until he had reached the short price of 6to Son. Of the other competitors star Dross was the meet fancied, and was freely backed uown to 3 to I, although a commission was executed at an average price of 6 to I. Forester, who won the handicap last spring with net 7 1 b, was ' also backed. When the competitors - had gone a mile it wee evi dent that the favourite and Star Cross had the race between them, and Foresight being in difficulties opposite the stand star Cram won cleverly by a length. Ile was once the property of Sir Lydstori Newman, and recently sold for seven guineas. THE INNKRRPNRS' PLATlVllandicap) Of 40 eon. ; winners extra. T. Y.C. (About hall &mile.; Mr. R.

TIIE MOUTH LANTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages from tie defen dants, for injuries sustained by the plaintiff through the negligence of their servants. The company admitted their liability, and the only question was the amcunt of damages. . . . . . . Serjunt Parry and Mr. Phiibrick were for the plainti ff ; Mr. Wordsworth, Q.C., Mr. Shaw, and Mr. Meadows White appeared for the company. The plaintiff in this action had formerly been a mariner, but be had of late carried on the business of a fishmonger, at Deptford, and he was in the habit of going to market every morning by the train. On the 4th of September he was on his return home when • collision took plane near the Spa-road station, and he was violently shaken, and received injuries of a serious character. He was attended in the first instance by a general practitioner residing in his own neighbourhood, and he called in a seczzleracti tioner, and each of these gentlemen, it ap , had charged for something like • • hundred and ty visits at I Ts. lid. each. Mr. Poland, Mr. Hancock, and one or two other eminent surgeons subsequently attended the plain tiff, and it was stated that in consequence of the injuries he had received his sight and hearing were very seriously affected, and be was partially paralysed. It was, however, admitted that if rest and quiet were afforded to him, he might probably in • few months be restored, or nearly so, to health. Chief Justice Bovill, in the course of the inquiry, ex pressed his opinion that it was not right in such a case to have employed two general practitioners who bad run up a large bill for their services, and that their services were unnecessary, when the plaintiff was under the care of the other eminent persons who had been examined. Mr. Wordsworth addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, and he argued that the plaintiff had not sus tained any permanent injury, and that • reasonable amount of damages would be sufficient to meet the justice of the cue. The jury, after a abort deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 5001., and KW. in addition for medical attendance. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —l4vEaroor., DLutcu 29. Csowm CotaT.—(Before Mr. Judie* Mellor.) Daniel McCarthy, aged 30, coachman, was indicted for "having at Levensholuie, on the 15th of March, 1867, felo niously and of malice aforethought killed and murdered Henry Willis." Mr. Addison, in opening the case, said it appeared that the prisoner at the bar, upon the 15th March, had been for six or eight months in the service of Colonel Mayne, • staff officer residing in Manchester, who would state that upon that day the prisoner, at half-past three, came round to his house in Oxford-street with the horses in the usual way, and that at that time be was sober. The next they would hear of the prisoner would be that at half past six o'clock he was in a road which leads out of bfanchester, and is called the London-road. Near the village of Longsight the road is crossed by • railway arch, and near this arch the prisoner was seen by • man named Ward. When Ward had passed he was followed by the prisoner, who commenced a conversation with him, and asked what countryman be was, and whether he was an Irishman and a Fenian? The prisoner produced a knife, and as he was under the influence of drink, though perfect master of his actions, Ward wished to get rid of him, and for this purpose went into Swift's public-house and called for a glass of ale. The prisoner, however, followed him into the house , and left immediately on his leaving. When outside the prisoner again produced the knife, and said he "was • Tipperary man, ' ' and as Ward was exceed !ugly anxious to get away from him he went into an ironmonger's shop, stating that he was at home. The prisoner must have turned back and gone towards Swift's public-house, for he palmed • drying-yard, and was noticed by a Mrs. Ward, a laundress. Shortly after this Mrs. Ward noticed • cart coming up the road in charge of Willis, who was employed by Mr. Hibbs. When he got opposite her drying-ground she heard an ex clamation of, " Oh, he has stabbed me," and turned round and saw the prisoner running away as fast as he could. He ran so near to her that she might have caught him. She saw no one elm. in the road at that time, but higher up the road, nearer Manchester, there was another woman who saw the prisoner with his arm round the oarter's neck, and heard him call out, " I am stabbed chase him !" Some men were called, and they chased the prisoner for three-quarters of an hour until they lost sight of him near a reservoir. There was a drain round the reservoir and a number of willows, and when the men got on the top of the embankment they observed the prisoner moving about, endeavouring to hide himself. One of the men struck the prisoner on the head with &stick, while another seised him from behind and pini oned . his arms. The prisoner said something about Now the fingers," or words of that kind, which the men understood to be • Fenian sign, and one of th.m said, " We will give you Fenianism," and asked for his knife, which the prisoner at first said he had not got. There was blood on the pri soner's clothes, and his hands were covered with black mud. When taken to the police station, the knife — which had blood upon it— was found upon him. When charged with the offence he said to officer, " Are you • Fenian right ;" and later l the day be said, • If I did it, I must have been drunk." When the prisoner left deceased, a gentleman in a gig came up, but did not pay any attention to the deceased's remarks, not seeing any marks of blood upon him, and not think ing that he was really wounded. Deceased was taken in a milk cart to a chemist's shop, and afterwards to the infir mary, where he died on the Sunday night following. Evidence was then adduced which fully bore out the statement of the prosecuting counsel. Colonel Mayne stated that the prisoner brought an ex cellent character to him ,• that some time ago he bad been garotted, and that his head and back were injured, and that on the afternoon of the day mentioned he was quite sober. _ . Torr, for the defence, urged that the prisoner's mind, weakened by the garotting, had been completely upset by the drink which he had taken. His Lordship, is summing up, said that the ease had very little to do with Fenianism, which generally mani fested itself in attacks upon property. If the jury thought the wounds were inflicted maliciously, the case could not be one of manslaughter. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of murder, and he wan sentenced to death, his lordship declining to soy any thing about mitigation. The company had been well nigh ruined by nnlecting to cultivate friendly relations with others, but that p o li cy be hoped was a thing of the pa.t. It was very encouragin g to know they had done with extensions, although it might be urged there was nothing to extend with. (laughter.) The appointment of • good working 00/n . inittee was the only aufe course to adopt. If necessary the directors should be prepared to raise the fares. (" No, no," and " Yes ; mineral traffic.") Mr. OURDOW, amidst cries of " Time " and "Divide," contended that parliament had to answer for much of the distress from which many railway companies were now suffering. Mr. iiiamm, also amidst sounds of impatience from the meeting, criticised at length the company's accounts and policy, and blamed the shareholders for all that had be. fallen them. He acknowledged that the chairman had done all he could to benefit the company, and reoonin...nded the shareholders to allow the sesta of the five retiring directors to remain vacant. Alderman DELA/WNW, of Dublin, who was likewise in. terrupted with reminders of " Time," was understood to support the board. Mr. It. Wrrn Zan said the debenture holders of the Great Western Company were in as good a position as those of any other company. He admonished the share. holders to accept the Gper cent. shares offered to them, and thus put their shoulder to the wheel. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions, said the company had a considerable quantity of surplus lands, and powers were being sought to deal with them. The interest they had been paying for temporary loans mu a year since IA 75., but it was now 6t. lOs. The financial secretary who had been referred to retired at the request of the board on account of ill•health. With respect to what had been said by Sir George Jenkinson, what was now proposed was merely the renewal of debentures falling due , and th e powers to be applied for next session were to convert the debenture debt into a permanent stock. They were most anxious to get rid of the Truman temporary loans. After some further discussion the reports were adopted, with the rider. - An i r regular discusaion followed upon the proposition from the chair to authorise the board to pay dividends due up to the 31st January in 6 per cent. irredeemable shares. Some appeared to be in favour of 5 per cent. stock ; others were willing to accept ordinary deferred dividend WA!. rants, and wait for their money, but after vigorous epetenes from Mr. Parsons (of the Metropolitan Railway) and others, pointing out that the plan proposed by the board was the only feasible one, the motion was carried unanimously. . . It was next proposed to re-elect Messrs. W. Fenton, D. Lewis, J. W. Miles, R. Potter, and R. J. Venable; directors. An attempt was made to cur, out the advice given by one of the previous speakers, and keep the seats vacant. It was however pointed out that this course would be invidious, and that the matter could be better dealt with by the new committee if all the seats at the board were occupied. The election then took place with out opposition. The meeting was then made special to sanction mote, formal agreements with other companies respecting two branch lines in Wales. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman and his brother directors, after which the proceedings terminated. X 9 &Slab Cola 0p.c6,1806 1872 Do. .... 011 i. Gov.ll p. 04,1877-86 - , Do. 9or*Tob./Avg.

After our report left yesterday, Mr. thus moved a rider to the chairman's motion. It approved of the appointment of a committee from the ordinary and preference shareholders to consult with the board on the financial concerns of the company and the organisation and management of its general aflairs, and nominated Messrs. E. Smith, T. Dreamy, and R. Wither, as a preliminary committee to select five from among the shareholders to be the consultation committee referred to by the chairman. The most extravagant ideas (he said) prevailed out of doors regarding the financial embarrassments of the company, and it was not considered that this was altogether an embarrassment of capital with which the revenue trans. actions had no share. The present difficulties were caused by the million of temporary loans that hung round their neck, and their debenture debt. He strongly urged co operation with other railway companies on the principle that the only effectual way of getting rid of an enemy was to convert him into a friend. It was a good thing for the company that the distinguishing characteristic of its present chairman was his earnestness to be on friendly terms with neighbouring concerns. (Cheers.) Mr. LANCASTER seconded the rider, and professed him self ready to accept his dividend in the manner proposed by the board. By careful management and the reduction of trains where necessary, there was nothing to prevent the Great Western becoming one of the beet lines in the world. As to the government, they were in a state of embarrass ment themselves at the present moment—(s laugh)--and no help could be expected from them. It was, however, their bounden duty to pass some law for the protection of all railways, and until that was done public confidence would not be restored. Unfortunately the debenture and preference holders were persms who understood but little of business. (Oh, oh.) He meant they caught up rumours that were flying about, and accepted them without examining the accounts for themselves. (Hear, hear.) Sir Gr o ans JCIRINAON thought the meeting should eon eider how best the company might be extricated from its difficulties with the least possible injustice to those who were called upon to sac-idce their dividends. So far as he understood the circular (or second report) that had been placed in their hands, it was proposed that the dividends due to the preference and ordinary shareholders should be applied to the payment of capital—in other words, con fiscated by fore.. (No, no.) If the shareholders' money was to be taken for the purpose of paying off pressing capital liabilities, it was only a measure ofjustice that the preference and ordinary stockholders should be put in the oboes of those deheature bondholders who were going to be paid. He was prepared to bring forward a motion re solving that for ' all amounts of debenture bonds now or hereafter paid off by means of money applicable to the payment of dividends on preference or ordinary stock of the company, a debenture stock shall be created which shall hereafter be rateably distributed amongst the preference and ordinary shareholders in lieu of and in extinguishment of the stock now forced upon the ordinary and preference shareholders, and that the directors be instructed not to issue any now debentures or , to create any new debenture stock except under these conditions." (Hear, hear.) Mr. B. /Wulf, who was called for by several share holders, said that after all he looked upon the present position of the company as hopeful. For the first tinis he could see a way out of their troubles, and with an ener getic chairman, well supported by a few directors—Omar, Lear)—and a judicious committee of advice, the company ought in three or four years to pay 4 per cent. The I shareholders must, however, make up their minds that it was by work and care, and not by a mira cle, that this chronic disease of more than fif teen years' standing was to be caned. He hoped the committee would have plenty of time given them to develop the traffic of the company, and to introduce economy into every department of the concern. A board of 25 was a very cumbrous machine, and the directors ought therefore to diminish their numbers. (Hear, how.) Printed end PlWished by wITALAN Knr• HAM, of No. P.

THR NORTH-EASTERN RA ILWAY. —Yesterday morning at 1 a.m., the dispute between the engine -drivers and firemen on this line was ended by a concession on the part of the men, the result of the strike on the Brighton line leading to the prompt settlement. The delegates had en interview with the locomotive superintendent on Thursday afternoon, and subsequently met the directon, with whom a conference was commenced at 8 p.m., which lasted for nearly five hours. The result was the adoption of the propositions made at York last week, against which the men then agreed to hold out. The notices were with drawn, and thus the danger and inconvenience of a strike is removed. The concessions made by the board are these :—Ten hours per day work (instead of 12) and eight hours per day overtime. The directors fix the rate of advanced wages to 7s. per day maximum, and the system of promotion is with the superintendent. NORTH Beltran RAILWAY. —The half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh yesterday, Mr. Sterling pre siding. There was a crowded attendance of proprietors. The Chairman stated that the accounts had been made up on the principle of charging to revenue every shilling legi timately belonging to it, including interest on unproduc tive capitaL The directors had not bad time to deal effec tually with working expenses, but hoped before long to make considerable reductions in the mincing:4, and also c A2gto ininf.ronevweectit:eantlarc re ey hcoegtorilteirs debentures support in carrying the necessary arrangements. A pacific policy would be adopted towards other companies. Con siderable discussion ensued, in which several shareholders complained of too strict charges against revenue, and others objected to the principle of the Arrangements Bill, but no amendment on the report was offered. The Chair man and retiring directors were re-elected, and Mr. Stitt, of Liverpool, was elected by the directors to the vacancy at the board.

COTTON.—LiwlitrOoL, Mae= 19.—The cotton market was heavy last Friday, and some decline was submitted to but on Saturday and Monday the demand increased, and prices fully recovered. The lo delayed import then began to arrive freely, and under it. Influence the demand subsided, and lower rates were accepted. During the last two days the business has been more general, but the trade still limit their pur chases chiefly to the supply of immediate wants, mid the quo tations time about id. below but week's rates. The demand fur Sea Island Is very limited, and it Is freely supplied at the reduced prices quoted last week. American continues in good request, but is quoted about id. below last week's prices, par ticularly in the middle grades, having lost some small advance obtained early this week. In Brazil, with a quantity offering, and only a limited demand, prices are at id. to id. decline. Egyptian has been In moderate request during the peat week, and holders have supplied the demand freely at last week's prices Qualities below fair continue ne glected, and almost unsaleable. imyrua is without change Rut India is more difficult of sale, but the limited quantity offering has enabled holders to obtain nearly previous quota ' tions except in the lower qualities, which are decidedly easier. Speculators have taken during the week 2,240 bales, exporters 10,000, and the trade 83,140 hales. Ile actual stock of cones in Liverpool declared this morning amounts to 044,1110 bales including 332,240 American, 82,090 Brasil, 02,760lfstyptian, 6,200 Smyrna, 21,720 West India, 1343,W East India, and 1,770 China. proving 80,120 above theestimate, chiefly in East India. We have had a modern , ' demand today, and the excavate stock has had but little effect on the market, which closes at previous rates. The sales are Untin bale; of which I,unn are tocespnet and specu lation. The following are the official quotations:—Fair Orleans, Mid mWdliug , Lted. : hair Mobilo, letd. ; 1301. ; fair tilands, 140: ; middling, 131 d. 007 TON 000D9.-3Useguaria, Mmton 29.—in shipping yarns the market is again quiet, and to make salee lower prices must be taken. The amount of busbies& has not been large, even at the reduced prices spinners have been willing to submit to. For borne trade yarns the demand bas been very slack. Manufacturers will only operate with a view to supplying their immediate requirement" In the face of a declining market, and the business bas been under an average. The cloth market is exceedingly dull. Telegrams announce that the cargoes of cotton to band in Lixtepool sum up to a total of 206,616, making the total actual stock on band 644,311 bales. Great quantities were known to be on the way, and, in the lan guage of the market, all that had been discounted, but never theless, the actual receipt ha Liverpool of the largest quantity ever known to have arrived in one week has a considerable effect on this market. We have had • pod deal of inquiry for cloths to-day. but only few ogees ern ma.g, and those at priori which do not result in business.
