IWERIAL P. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MSIDAY, MAIMS 1. The LORD Cast:cat-Loa took his seat upon the woolsack at 6 o'clock. BORROWING POWERS OF RAILWAY COMPANIES. The Earl of DONOUOHMORE mid that the other night the President of the Council had stated that the gowns. meet had order their consideration the propriety of bring ingla a bill for the purpose of carrying out the recommeo. soes of a committee of last erasion with respect to the Renewing powers of railway companies. He (Lord Dentseghmore) had since taken the question into considera tion. and he was disposed to think that those recommends- Mons would be insufficient without a general register of such transactions. Earl GRANVILLE made some remarks on the same sabject, bet they were inaudible in the gallery. RECRUITING IN IRELAND FOR THE FEDERAL ARMY. - . The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for copies of any reports that might have been received by her Majesty's government respecting recruiting in Ireland for the North American army, and asked whether any remoestranoes against such proceedings had been addressed to the Federal government. He had no bemtatioa inlaying that if one-tenth part had been done in this country for the Confederates that had been done for the Federala within the last two years, it would have been put a stop to at once. (Hear, hear.) What her Majesty 'a government called neutrality had in truth been must partial ; end in that respect he thought her Majesty's government had not properly maintained the honour and credit of the country. (Hear, hear.) Berl RUSSELL said that any attempt to enlist revolts in Imaged by the Federal agents was a breech of neutrality, sad was an offence against the municipal law of this esantry. Wh such an offence could be proved the offenders deterred punishment, and stringent remonstrances should be male to the Federal government on the subject. He had on more than one occasion complained that a system of recruiting was going on in Ireland oo behalf of the Federal Suites, but Mr. Adams indignantly denied that there was any truth in the statement, and on that denial he (Lord Russell) was obliged to paws until evidence Gould be obtained of the fact of the recruiting. Lest month • person was charged with enlisting men for the Federal army, but the evidence was not sufficient to justify proceed ings being taken with any chance of conviction. The Berl of DONOUGHMORE said he thought very few of their lordships would consider the reply of the noble earl at all satisfactory. There was a society in Ireland which had been so often mentioned that he wished to obtain some information from the government as to whether its attention had been directed to their pro medley. It was a society called the Fenian Brothers. It was said that the object of this association was to recruit in Ireland for the American army, sod to promote a feeling of hostility to the British crown, and there was a sort of vague hope held out that when the American cootut was at an end the American armies, which were now employed in murdering one another, would torn their arms against us. These *climes were so chimerical that it was ricliculou to talk of them, nod of course no man of any sense or pru dence paid any sort of attention to the proceedings of thee* people. to long as their proceedings were confined to ridi mikes articles in newspapers he agreed with the government that it was best to take no notice of them, but when they game to enlist men for the service of a foreign country, when men went to the country and drilled men and endeavoured to give them • military education, he thought that in mercy to these wretched people it was the duty of the govern ment to repress them. He asked whether government bad not for the last four or rive months been io the receipt of costume' reports from the police as to the prooeediap of this society, specially in Dublin, and that officers in Ame rican uniform had bees drilling the men. If they did not teke action in time. they might have to shed the blood of their own people. Earl GRANVILLE said be thought the noble lord bad failed to make out his case that her Majesty's government had not observed neutrality. There was no doubt that both the North and the South were constantly making charges against her Afajeety's government of partiality to the other, and these charges were also made by persons in this country who sympathised with one party or the other. He thought that therm) accusations were the beet proof that her Ma jesty's government had not takes part with either one side or the other. The noble marquis charged the noble earl with not having taken measures to prevent enlistment in Ireland for the American armies, and said it was notorious that the enlistment was constantly going on. But if it was notorious, why did not the noble marquis bring forward some *Mesa I' In one eau, which had excited the attention of the Irish public, it was said that an American agent hod esgagd several hundred men to work on an American railr ad bat that the rat object was enlistment. The government im mediately iastituted inquiries, and it was proved by incon testable evidence that this railway had suffered en treinely from the dearth of labour in the United States, and that this was • bone fide operation to enable the com pany to finish the railway. It was impossible for the go. veenment to interfere with regard to a transaction of that sort. The Earl of DERBY said the noble earl who bad just eat down h.rl not answered the (plastics' put by his noble friend, which was whether her Majesty's government had received information with regard to certain proceedings carried on at Dublin, Cork, sod other large cities, where it was stated that penons were in the habit of being dnlled. Earl I :lIANVILLE was understood to say that the go vernment bad directed the attention of the police to the subject, and be did not think he was jostified in giving more information at present. The motion was than withdrawn. Their lordships adjourned at 23 minutes to 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TtLDAY, MAR .4:11 1. The Sru►un took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

CRIMINAL APPEAL BILL 8r F. K ELLY gave ootice that in oonsequenos of some inquiries that were going on be should postpone the further coosideratimi of this bill until to-morrow week. Mr. HIBBERT asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether, with a view to simplify and render more may of reference the very numerous statutes relating to the relief of the poor, say effort was being made by the Poor-I+w Board to procure the coosolidation of such statute•. dIr.VILLIERS said that It was not at present the ioten. tion of the Poor-law Board to procure the consolidatiora of such statutes. A few years ago it was thought of great importanoe by the commissioners to have a digest of the statutes---(hear, hear),—which extended over nearly 300 years, and they engaged the services of a very able gentle man for that purpose, but for some reason or other be was not allowed to fieiala •his work, and was not remunerated for what be had done. (Laughter.) Sauce that time a very valuable work had been published by a geotlem.su in the Poor-law Department, which was ex. petted toaoswer all the purposes of consolidatioo. because it coot...inert all the enactments relating to the relief of the poor...nd various other matters of a practical nature. THE WHITWORTH GUNS. M..jor fiftWAN (in the Oman of Mr. Gregorvl inquired when Mr. Whiterorth'e gam trete to be tried, and the canoes of Ow char in the trial. The Msr . mis ofkihRTINGTON replied that the exceri- ments bed serer alto ge th er ceased with respect to the rune on the Whit worth principle of construction. Several guns had at different times been ordered from Mr. Whitworth and tried by the government., and in consequence of the decided success of the guns tried in the autumn of 1862 apie.t iron-plates, it was arranged that a competitive trial should be instituted between the guns formed on the Whit worth and on the Armstrong principles. Mr. Whitworth objected to some asteet to the trial being conducted by the Ordnance Select Committee, on the ground that they were, to a gre 't extent, identified with the Armstrong system. and would not he able to come to a perfectly unblessed de. ninon. It was decided that a new committee should be appointed. ad Mr. Whitworth eternised himself satisfied with the constitution of that committee, and also at the programme of the experimeata. The committee were ap pointed to January, 1863, and in February Mr. Whitworth wee iolormed what guns would be required, and stated that he would be able to deliver them—three 12-pounders and three 70-pounders—within eight weeks of that day. The guns had not been delivered, Mr. Whit worth bad been frequently c..lled upon to deliver them, or to state his reasons for the delay. Loot May be stated that be waa unable to obtain the kind of metal which he considered necessary for the manufacture of his large guns on account of the manufacturer not having obtained the proper machinery. The committee had MT recently visited Mr. Whitworth's works at Manchester, and he then promised that the guns would be delivered at the very latest by the 15th of Mile month. It had now has decided that whether the row were delivered or ant. the experiment., or such es could be oonductod with the guns which had bees already delivered, were to be awn moored and carried out at a date not later than the lit of April. `• - lf ' -" l'" THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EV/141AG, MARCH 2, 1864.

The summing up yesterday co:spied six hour& The iiwy retired, sad slier being absent about an hour returned utto court sad gave s verdict far t►e deteadaatn. The announcement was received with great applause by the spectators COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Ymica 1. (Bears the Jodp Ordinary.) CODILINGTON r. 001FIIIIGTOX LAD MIII3BOII. In this own Admiral Codriugtoa sued foe a divorce on the ground of his wde's alleged adultery with Colonel Ande rson. Spinks applied to the court for pumienon to cite Lieutenant Mil y, of the Rifle Brigade, now serving in the Punjaub, as • second co-respondent. Mr. Inderwick opposed the motion on behalf of the re spondent. Sir J. Wilde said that if he thought the application was • bond fide one, or intended for any legitimate purpose, he should at once grant the learned civilian's request ; or if Lieutenant y, on the other hand, had wished to be made • co-respondent for the par. pose of obtaining • locus ettedi and defending himself against the charge which had been brought against h® , be should also have let him in. But it appeared to him (the learned judge) that the object of the motion was merely to stop this gentleman's mouth, and so deprive Mrs. Codrington of the benefit of his evidence. He could not help remarking that the law as regarded the evidence of persons charged with adultery was most unsatis factory. A husband was not bound to make more than one person • ro-raspondent, but he might charge any number of other persons with adultery. If he made anybody • co respondent that person's mouth was cloud ; if he did he might give evidence - so that whether a person with adultery might or might not be examined deTincV entirely upon whether the petitioner chose to make him a party to the suit. The present rem was • good deal like that of " Robinson r. Robinson and Lane." In that suit there was no evidence against the co-respondent, the case against Mrs. Lie resting entirely upon entries in her dna ; and so strongly did the court feel the injustice does to Dr. Line by retuning him in the muse, and thus preventing him from giving evidence, that they actually procured an am of parliament to be eased under which they might discharge ha nd enable him to become a witness. The application. Swanks seemed to be intended to place Lieutenant fitildosay is exactly the mine position as that front which Dr. Lane was relieved b a special statute, and the motion mast therefore be A commis ion to examine witnesses in India was then granted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before thsßeocadar.) Mr. Lißey made an application to the oourt of anther singular character. A man named John Ogden was committed for trial upon the charge of eloping with the wife of a person named Con, and stealing a quantity of property belonging to the hus band. The wife was also committed upon a charge of bigamy, it being alleged that she had married her supposed paramour after she had left her husband. The learned counsel now staid that since the prisoners had been sem witted for trial information had been obtained which In duped the prosecutor to believe that the woman was mar ried in 1842, previous to her marriage with (lox, add thin wee the nese it would render it nerieseary for a totally dif ferent course of proceeding to be taken against the female prisoner, for this reason :—as the wife of Cox she could not be charged with robbing her husband, but if she had been previously married, her marriage with Con wee, of course, not a valid ceremony, sod die would be liable to be indicted with Ogden in the ordinary manner far stealing the property. It was necessary that further inquiries should be made with reference to the marriages, and Icor this he had to apply that the GM &ski stand over ton purpose :at union. The Reirorder observed that if it should tarn out, u stated by the learned oounsel, that the woman had been previously married, it was a very lucky thing for the prose cutor. He then directed the trial to be postponed. ♦wwe Johnson, 27, was charged with feloniously 'malt ing and wounding Julia Moseley. Mr. Orr edge prosecuted.. . _ The primmer conducted herself with • great deal of effrontery during the trial, and put several questions to the witnesses, the answers to which did not in any way tend to altar the complexion of the case, and she repeatedly ex claimed that all they stated was lies. The jury returned • verdict against the prisoner of having wounded the prosecutrix with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Mr. Orridge informed the court that prior to the sentence of four years' penal servitude which the prisoner was under going at the time the offence was committed, she bad been sentenced to three years' penal servitude for • robbery from the person, but in consequence of her good behaviour in prison she was liberated upon a ticket of leave, and very soon after she obtaised her liberty she committed another Wirier" for which she was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. She bad served three years of that period, and in three months would have been discharged, the remainder of her punishment, according to the present regulations, being remitted. She would now, of course, have to serve the full period for which she was originally sentenced. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been convicted of • very serious offense, and it was ab solutely necessary that persons in the position of warden in prisons should be protected from such acts of violsoce. He thee ordered the prisour to be kept in penal servitude for five years, to commence from the present time. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Glades Dobbins, smith, and Jaws Dobbins, smith. were iodtthed for stealing a large quantity of gas, the property of the London Gas Company. The prisoners pleaded net guilty. Mr. Poland and Mr. Bailey prosecuted; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Sleigh end Mr. Daly. In his opening statement Mr. Poland said there could be no doubt that this system of stealing the gas had been carried on for many years to a very large uteri. Since 1849 the prisoners hid carried on humus as smiths and gufitters, at Markhawstreet, Chelsea, sod until the pre seat time it was always supposed that they were highly respectable tradesmen. It appeared that in that year the district in which they lived was supplied with gas by the Imperial Gas Company, and in the November of that year the defendants made au application to have the gas put on in their premises. The service pipe having been laid on it was left to the prisoners to put up the roster and other fittings, and they, being gufitters, did it themselves. The service pipe was supplied for seven bunters, that being the number which the primers glued they would pire. Of course the Imperial Oes Company sent in their bill for the amount of gas registered, and of course they supposed that all the pa assumed pared through the meter. In 18.57 the Imperial Gas Com pany made an exchange in this district with the London Gas Company, who continued to supply gas to the defendants, and who were the prosecutors in the present case. Late last year the company received some information, and the inspector of the district, Mr. Tally, went to the premises with a number of workmen, and on going into the workshop he (mod three hareem alight—it being thee about eleven o'clock in the morning, but rather dull. In the shop and in estrous there were two more lights burning. Mr. Tully said he had come to inspect the meter. He went to it mid immediately turned it off, when the two lights burning in the house went out, bat the other three in the workshop continued to burn as radiantly is ever. The meter was then taken down, but the gas still continued to burn, when Mr. Tully said that be must break the ground. In doing so he found the gin coming in through the service pipe, and from that pipe there was joined another pips, carrying the gas into the workshop. It appeared that the gas had been burned in the moat reckless and imrovident manner. From the meter there were seven gas lig h ts supplied, but there were altogether fine.n burners supplied through the spurious pipe, widths., harpers were generally kept alight the whole night in the workshop, in order to keep it warm for the workmen in the morning. There could be oo doubt that these fifteen humors consumed between 201. and 301. worth of gas in the course of the year, while the nevem burners supplied by the meter consumed about if. worth of gas quarterly. Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury on behalf of the prima'. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Common Serjeant sentenced them to twelve mouths' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. 130w-STREKT. Philip Gay, an elderly man, of respectable appearance, cashier at Messrs. Dent and Co., the clockraatere, was brought up on remand, charged with embezzlement and forgery. Mr. Humphreys, of the firm of Humphreys and MFgan. conducted the prteecutiou ; and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street defended the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys said the total defalcations were sup posed to exceed 4001. The prisoner was remanded.

Bat is the ease of ordinary telegraphic messages that rale does not apply, and such was the case in the instance a lluded to by the hoe. gentlemen. Mr. D.

Mr. LAY A RD—lt woe inapoesible exact by means of the telegraph to send to Copenhagen in 24 hours. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. Lord HOTHAM observed that notice bad been given that the army estimates would be proceeded with on Thursday. He wished to know whether they would be preceded with in the usual manner, or whether that cure would be par sued which had been adopted with regard to the navy esti mates, and whether than votes only would be takes which had reticence to the Mutiny Bill and the financial state meet of the Chancellor of the Eschequer ; and, if so, what would be the lest vote takes oa Thursday. The Marquis of HARTINGTON we. unable to say what arrangement would be made with respect to the public business, but on account of the shortness of time before Easter it was Deeineary to obtain as many votes as possible. It was necessary to get the vote for the men, but he yam unable Wry whether any other vote would be asked for on 1 heyday night. Lord BOTH AM gave notice that on the proposal of vote No. 6he shoul d make some observations on the ad ministration of martial law, and on the coons which bad been adopted towards Colonel Crawley, of the Inniskilling Dragoons. (Cheers.) Lord CECIL said the noble lord would consult the am veneer of members if he would state the latest hoer at which he was likely to bring on the army estimates. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it would be neer sary to consult the convenience of the house, but his noble friend at the head of the government had suggested that the altimeters might be brought on at any hour on Thundsy night before 12. (Laughter.) THE EASTER RECESS. Mr. A. MILLS inquired on what day the noble lord in• tended to propose the adjournment of the house for Faster. Lord PAL N replied that he might be able to answer the queetioe on Thunday, but the adjournment most in a great degree depend on the program of public buWneee. (Hear.) CIVIL SERVICE AND MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES. Mr. MARSH then rose to move the following resolution— " That the civil service and miacellaneour estimates have been for many years rapidly increasing, and ought to be reduced." The house would probably be utonished at the immense lacrosse which had taken place in the course of the last twenty or thirty yew. Ii WO the miscellaneous estimates amounted to ?.,393.0001. In 1863, t h e had tin to 7,806,0001. ; @bowing a di ff erence of 5,413,0004 To that sem most be added 5 per cent. for collecting, making 5,662,000/. If there was a surplus of 5,412.0007. it was well biome that a much larger sum might be taken off in the way of taxation ; for when times were reduced • large por tion of the amount was speedily,recovered by the govessmeet. When the duty on tea was reduced the amount was not all lost and even • reduction in the IDCAIIe tax was not altogether lost, for it insured • more fair return. In the case of indirect taxation the public paid a great deal roan than the government received. When the duty of sd. was taken o ff tea the price was reduced 6d. in the shops. When there was a heavy tax upon newspapers they were sold at 5d., but when the penny was taken off, according to Cocker, they ought to have been sold at 4d., but they were sold at • penny. When there mu a duty of I..}d. per lb. on paper the largest London papers were sold at td., but shortly afterwards the price of the papers was reduced to a penny. These facts showed that the public not only gained what was taken off in the shape of taxation. but more than double that sum. There could be no doubt that the civil oontingericiee must necessarily be greater than they were 20 years ago, but still they were much;too large, and capable of reduction. Mr. PEEL said that the increase in the civil service esti mates was more apparent than real ; the expense of the civil service proper had not augmented, and the increase was caused by the policy which parliament had pursued in reference to education, criminal reformation, sod criminal iodicatirre. and the relief which had ben a fforded to local taxation with the view of reducing the burdens on land. The increase also owed much of its amount to the treader of charges to the civil service estimates ;from other dr partments of expenditure. A considerable number of offices which were formerly paid by fees were now paid by salaries, which appeared in, and by so much swelled, the civil service estimates, but the fees were paid into the exchequer, and in many oases exceeded the amount which appeared in the votes. All these items were to be taken into account in considering the difference between the real and the apparent increase in the estimates, and when it was remembered that many new offices and departments had been created, reason had been shown for the ampler tation which had been stated. After some observations from Mr. Torrent, Mr. Roods gat*, and Mr. W. Evart. in favour of the principle of the motion, it was withdrawn. HARBOURS OF REFUGE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to Mr. Lindsay not to bring forward his motion on the subject of harbours of refuge. in consequence of the necessary absence of his noble triad at the bead of the government, sod the absence also of his right hon. friend the President of Board of Trade, who was unfortunately unable to be in his place from indisposition. Mr. LINDSAY said that under the circumstance he should not press the motion. CHINA. Mr. LIDDELL said that in consequence of the noo-pro &mum' of the further papers relating to China be felt com pelled to postpone his motion on the subject of China. He should, however, bring it forward at the earliest °ppm. tunity after the ream. NAVAL PRIZES.

NOVEL MODE or PRODrCING OXYGEN GAS.—At a lecture delivered to the shampooer, and attendants at the Ellainroarn, Jernsyn-street, on Monday night, by Dr. Leared, Physician to the Hospital for Cousumptioo, a novel mode of producing oxygen gas in a perfectly safe, cheap, and simple m , was introduced for the first time in I public by Mr. Robins, the analytical chemist. The method cousins in treatiog chromate of potash and peroxide of barium with diluted sulphuric acid. The operation is per• formed in a common glass jar or retort, and at the ordi nary temperature. To those who are acquainted with the plan hitherto adopted of heating manganese in iron bottles this discovery will need little recommendation, sod it is difficult to predict to what discoveries and improvements in the economy of life and light it may laid.

ROYAL G Elt•L ANNITITT SOCIITY.—A general meeting of this society, adjourned from the 27th ult. was held at the London Tavern on Monday. Sir John Maxwell, who was voted to the chair, announced the result of the efforts of the committee of inquiry. He said that they had found the affairs to be in a very bad state. The sub scribers had not beeo called together since June 1861, until January last, when those y t, instead of adopting the accounts presented, pared a meolution appointing the committee of inquiry (of which he was one). This proved to be a most useful step. From June, 1861, to this time, the society bad been managed by only two directors. the Rev. Y. insigne° wed Mr. J. S. Leigh. Still the annaitaate had been paid, although minutes had not been kept, the laws observed, or expenses restricted. The charity was in itself a most valuable and benevolent one, and confidence would doubtless be restored by a sew and an efficient direction, Mr. F. F. Toole moved that Sir John Maxwell, Mr. C. Hammond, and Mr. J. North. all of whom be bad proposed at the last meettag, be now elected as directors, and this being carried, the following gentlemen were also elected— Mr. Thomas &rip, M.P., Mr. H. C. Roberta, Mr. F. F. Toole, Mr. J. 8. Leigh, Mr. J. Moir, Mr. J. Griffith,, Ned Mr. G. Ellis. The committee were appointed to inquire into all the .faire, especially during the last few years, to revise the rules, and lipase( new officers, if necessary. The chairman said be would do his best for the good cease. Her Majesty end the Prince of Wales were patrons, and with Lord Derby for presidsot, the new committee had an ex cellent prospect before them. Mr. H. C. Roberts was, he said, so gratified by the prosiest proceedings that the society's acounat at his bank which he had lately closed might sow be again opened. Several gentlemen spoke, and the meeting adjourned, after passing vote of thanks severally to Mr. Roberta and the chair:sine.
