CHANCERY REGULATIONS BILL. On the motion of Lord KIN/MOWS, it was agreed that the house should oot meat on their amendments to this bill, which were objected to by the House of Coromooe. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATaI ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord CHELIIII3iTIa in moving the second reading of this hill, said it was intended to meet a case of great in. &victual injustice. The only person who was affected by the clams in the act which be proposed to amend was Sir Thomas Wilson. Sir Thomas Wilson, under his father's will, was tesset for life of very considerable estates, and was also lord of the manor of Hampstead-heath. Many years ago the Finchley.roci was made through the property, which rendered a considerable portion of it eligible for building purposes, and particularly that part of the estate consisting of 60 or 70 acres at the south-eastern comet of Hampstead-heath. Sir Thomas Wilson laid out many thousands of pounds on this part of the ground, which he intimated to convert to building purposes. He proposed a plan by which detached villas of an extremely ornamental character would have been erected. As he was only tenant for life under his father's will, with power of granting leases for 21 years only, it was quite clear he could not carry out his object without coming to parliament to assist him. It was aeceosary for him, therefore, to apply to parliament for a private act to give him extended powers of granting leases. Considerable alarm was entertained that it was the iatentioo of Sir Thomas Wilson to interfere with Hamp stead-heath. Re begged to state, on the part of Sir T. Wilson, that from the beginning to the end he never enter tained such an idea. (Hear, hear.) That feeling, however, induced a very serious opposition to the scheme. From the year 1829 to IS:4 no less than six bills were from time to time introduced by Sir T. Wilson to enable him to carry oat his object. As they were all aerate bills they were, according to the old practice, referred to the judges for their opinion, sad the fate of these bills was rather extraordi nary. ' Out of the six bolls the judges reported in favour of four. The last bill that was before that house was in 18K and their lordships payed that bill, although the judge' re ported against it. It was sent down to the House of Com mons, and there rejected. So the matter remained till 1856, when the bill far facilitating the sales and leases of settled 111111atas was introduced by his noble and learned f rieod opposite. One of the objects of that act was to prevent the necessity of persons having limited estates, in 000 sequence of the limited powers of leasing, being compelled to apply to par liament fora private act. There was a clause in the act which authorised persons —amongst others tenants for life— to apply to the Court of Chancery for authority to grant building leases for 99 years. There was a clause in the act that the Coat of Chancery should not entertain the appli °Woo if it appeared by the bill or settlement that there was an express declaration or manifest intention that the parties should be limited, and should ntt possess this power. The bill passed their lordships' house with that clause ta it which he now proposed to amend. But in the other house of parliament the same active and vigilant opposi tion which bad been offered for so many years to the pro ceedings of Sir T. Wilson manifested itself, and the House Commons succeeded in introducing the 21st clause of the act which was trained to meet the individual case of Sir T. Wilson. That clause provided that the Court of Chan cery should not entertain an application to grant these powers to any person who bad already applied to parlia ment for a similar object, and where the bill bad been rejected on its merits or reported spinet by the judges. Now, he believed there was no individual in the kingdom to whom the list claussicould apply but Sir T. Wilson. These bills were invariably rejected. Their lordships there fore would naturally ask, since the House of Commons had showu itself so hostile, how could it be anticipated that they would prove favourable to the present bill. But be (Lord Cliehusford) believed that a great change had come over the minds of its opponents. He had told their lordships that it never was Sir Thomas Wilson's intention to interfere with .--.....--- Hampstead-hesth. But the opponents of the bill were aware that Sir T. Wilson possessed the power, without any set of parliament, asked of the manor, with the ( mascot of the homage, to grant portions of the wart" And Sir Thomas Wilson's successor would be absolute owner of this estate, and would be able to ex ercise whatever powers over it he pleased. The opponents of Sir T. Wilson, therefore, now thought that the beat mode of securing these objects would be to enable Biz T. Wilson to carry out that part of the scheme which °misted in laying out a portion of this property in villas, because it would be a great aiklation to the value of these villas to leave the heath unenclosed. They believed that N Sir T. Wilson were not opposed, to this extent they should be able to accomplish their wishes and protect themselves against the consequent.' which they con templated. lie asked, therefore, whether their lordships would hesitate to give their assent to the wood reading of the bill, which was intended to obviate the greatest juju lice ever committed against an individual, and the most vexatious opposition to the amendment of a gentleman's property which had taken place us that house. Lord CRA-N WORTH entirely concurred with every word which had fallen from his noble friend as to the obnoxious latere of this enactment. It was the obvious intention of the clause to apply to the case of Sir T. Wilson. Now be (Lord Crenworth) was the last person on earth to withdraw any protection from the preservation of Hanipstruitheath to the public : he behoved it to be essential to the well being of the inhabitants of the metropolis. But then, if Sir T. Wilson's successor was likely to be the absolute owner, the only legitimate wry to preserve the heath to the public would bete say, "Let the public purchase it." (Hear, Lear.) It was fit also that it sbould he known that, as far as he (Lord Cranworth) could see, the land of which Sir T. Wilson proposed to grant building lessee bad not the remotest connexion with Hampst ea d-heath. It was either just over or under a mile from the nearest point of the heath, being somewhere near what was called the Swiss Cottage. He should be glad even if that lend could be laid oat in rising walks for the benefit of the public, but that was impossible ; and why Sir T. Wilson should nut have the same privilege of dealing with this portion of his property as other people with theirs, he could not conceive. At the same time he thought one or two other amendments might usefully he added to the measure. A noble earl had pointed oat to him the objection that, whereas the act eutborised the Court of Chancery to give powers to trustees to make building leases, the trustees, although thus authorised, could not make a binding lease without the consent of the' Court of Chancery in each particular case. This provision bad a meet damaging effect with those persons who had to go to the Court of Chancery, for though the expense might sot be more than If. or V.. and the time occupied not more than a fortnight or three weeks, people were frightened at the idea, and where there was a competition amongst land owners to grant building leases, those persons who were not obliged to come to the court had the advantage. He fur ther thought that the clause, which, speaking from recollec tico, he believed had been introduced Into the act, requiring notices to be given to the distric.. was wholly unee, emery and ridiculous, for the act had nothing whatever to do with the interstate of the public. The Earl of MALMESBURY supported the bill, on the ground that the object of the noble lord who iotroduced the Settled Estatee Act had been to * great extent defeated by what had since occurred, nod the interpretation which had been put upon the act. He spoke from his own ex perience when he said that an applicant who bad obtained powers under this act, by further having to go to the Court of Chancery for the consent of the court to every Jew that be made, was not in the same position as be would have bees if be had obtained a special act of par limnent. Lord REDESDALE observed that the clause, though originally passed to meet the c►ve of Sir T. Wilson, bad eines been found to affect the interests of several other per sons. He thought the clause should be repealed. Lord BBURY said be was quite aware in bow invidious •positions member of that house stood who vactured to appose such $ measure as this. But he must observe that hem noble friend (Lord Chelmsford) was in error when lie said that Sir T. Wilson never contemplated interfering with Hampatesil-heath, for in the preamble to the Lill of 1 , •2,9 t►e ertinguiahment of rights of common over the heath was expressly mentioned. It was also intiorrect to my that the judges bad four times reported in favour of these bills. Lord CHELMSFORD said that the noble lord was en tirely mistaken. The judges Lad reported four tithes in favour, and twice against the bills. Lord EBURY could only adhere to his apprehension of the facts, which was that the Lars never mooned in favour of either of the bills. The will of the late Sir T. Wilson was made in 1821, after the Regent'a.parit had been made, and therefore it must have been foreseen that this would be a valuable property ; and the testator, having all the circumstances under view, gave the present Sir T. Wilson a power of making budding bases over his Greenwich and Charltou estates, but omitted to give him the same power over the Hampstead property. The inference was clear that he did not wish building leases to be granted over the latter estate. But Sir T. Wllson was sot precluded from applying to parliament fur statutory powers. He was just as competent as ever be was to apply to parliament for a private act. assisted, as he would be, by the able support of his noble friend opposite. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the noble lord (Lord )fiery) appeared to have a vivid recollection of the past, when be was • member for Middlesex in the other house, nod when, is coolueation with the other metropolitan ' members, be heeded the opposition to the Sales and Leases el Settled Estates Bill No doubt it was a gre.t object to re noble lord's late constituents to prevept the breath from bu.g built upon, but the noble lord promised him that the ilea members would unite in an effort to raise from rh:ralsitimte of London a sem of money to buy the land freer Sir Thomas Wilson and to compensate Lim for the error which their opvviition to the bill had dope him.

The noble lord said that till the bounces of China were put into a sound state, no government could carry on its intercourse, whatever it might be, because the dilapidated state of the Biomes prevented trade and commerce. He begged the noble lord to remember, though they might not be at war with China, though we might be endeavouring to aid the finances of China, and assisting in giving advice ea to bow they might be placed in a better condition, yet if they engaged in any operation, naval or military—though they might endeavour to assist the finances of China, they were at the same time cr o tta in greet jeopardy the finances of England. (Hear.) ho should vote against the motion he hoped he should not be considered as endorsing a policy which would involve race in great difficulty and pecuniary sacrifices. Mr. LAYARD had not said that we were to interfere in the collection of the Chinese revenue or in advising the Chinese government upon financial matters. Lord J. MANNERS expressed his stairs concurrence with the views expressed by his right hon. fried the member for the University of Cambridge. The house then divided : Ayes Noce The motion was consequently lost. KERTCH AND YENIKALE. _ _ . . iii—xe Sir J. HAY moved "That it is ins:pidim* in the opinion of this house, that judgment should be any longer delaycd on the amount of prize-money due to her 3fajesty's land and sea forces employed iu the capture of liertal and Yenikale on the 24th day of May, 1854, as it is calculated to injure the confidence of the soldiers, seamen, and marines, in the good faith of her 31ajestv's goveinnieut in matters of prize." Colonel NOltTli had great satisfaction in seconding the motion, especially as it lied been proposed by a gallant gen tleman who was actually p resent at the operations in ques tion. He could hardly believe his ears when the noble viscount got up and proposed a further delay. He should say that such a correspondenoe had never been laid on the table as that which related to this matter. (Hear, hear.) There was but one feeling of diignat and distrust throughout both services at the manner in which they had been treated in the matter of the prizes. This re mark applied especially to the army which had saved India. There was not a soldier who might not have secured jewels and other portable booty enough to make his fortune for life; but theoltioers,trustiog in the honour of the government, had made the men deliver everything up for fair distribution. lf faith was to be broken with the army in this way they would in future take the law into their own hands. (Hese, hear.) This was no party question, and be trusted that the interests of the two services would be enforced by hen. members on both sides of the house. (Loud cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON assured the house thather Majesty's government had no desire to interpose any nausea /ivy bot there were certain rules which in these matters must alwaysbe observed. (Derisive cheers.) There were oer- Jain returns to be obtained and certain facts to be established before an equitable distribution could take place ; and when the services had been performed at so great a distance as India it was impossible that those facts could be verified and those returns obtained without delay. It was obvious from the statement of the hon. and gallant member that the matter before the house was a very complicated one, in volving as it did acts of parliament, questions of law, and international questions. Her Majesty's government hadrefer• red it to that authority by which they were guided—the hi', officers of the crown, and until their report wan received, which he hoped would be within a very few day—(laughter) —her Majesty's government could not tell what were the rights of the parties on behalf of whom the hon. gentleman bad spoken. He should hope, therefore, that the house would wait till the report was received, on which alone the government could attempt to found their declaim). (Hear.) Admiral WALCOTT said it was of the utmost lather► awe that faith should be kept with the soldiers and sailors of the country. The stores captured at Yenikale were used in the service of the country, and their value was estimated at 120,0031., which sum, he contended, belonged to the men engaged in the operations. He held there war nothing more subversive of good order than to fail in keeping faith with their army and navy. Mr. HENLEY said the papers before the house showed that a cane of right was admitted, and that the perilous to whom that right belonged were shuffled out of it altoge ther. (Hear, hear.) He should certainly support the motion. Mr. DEEDES thought it was at least unnecessary for the house to wait for returns for two or three yrui. Lord C. PAGET said the first time this claim was brought forward was in the year 1861. All be asked the house was to wait till the opinion of the law officers of the crown could be taken. Sir C. WOOD laid, is reference to what had fallen from the hon. gentleman opposite with regard to the Delhi prise money, there was a certain sum to be divided among a certain number of persons, and it was impossible to ascertain what anybody's share was till the number of persons was ascertained. Many of the regimeota had left Jodie, and some had gone to New Zealand, and it was im possible to ascertain the number entitled tilll they got the returns from the colonels of the regiments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (who rose amid loud mire of '' Divide") said he would not enter into the prospective part of this question. That the captors of Kertch were perfectly entitled to the proceeds of whatever the Court of Admiralty would condemn as prize, was not fora moment contested on the part of government. The gallant admiral opposite (Admiral Walcott) spoke of their being entitled to the whole property that was taken in Km ich. [Admiral Watcorr : No.) That was not the case. After what had been said by the right hon. gentleman the member for Oxfordshire (Mr. Henley) he would make this frank avowal, that there had been a miapprehension dis closed in this correspondence between the Treasury and the Admiraltyu to theirrespective jurisdictions. There were two modes of proceeding. One was to propose a vote of money. That was for the Admiralty to propose, and it was for the Treasury exclusively to decide upon. The Treasury stated that they saw no sufficient ground to propose a vote of money. The other mode was to go through the Court of Admiralty. It was quite true that the Queen's Advocate did sr y it was better to make a grant than to go to the Court of Admiralty, but his reasons did not carry conviction to the mind of the Treasury. There had been misapprehen. aloe between two departments. The Board of Admiralty had proceeded as if the Treasury had the right to deter mine whether the question should go to the Court of Ad miralty or not, whereas that was a question which, after hearing the law officers of the crown, the Board of Admiralty had to decide. After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to without a division. amidst cheers. On the motion of Mr. HIADLAM, leave was given to in troduce a bill for the more economical recoveryof poor raise, or other local rates and taxes. BURIALS BILL. On the motion of Sir 3L Pero, the order of the day for going into committee upon this bill was read and discharged, after a short discussion. The Oties orders of day having been disposed of, the house adjourned. Lath intelligence. NEW GENERAL ORDER. With a view to relieve as far as may be the Intolerable crowd ing and confusion which prevail in these courts, and all the ap pwaeltes thereto, the Lord Chancellor, and Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque and Mr. Commissioner liolroyd, have made the fol k:min general order " It la ordered as follows, that is to say :—That the °Moe of tha Chief Registrar for the registration of trust deeds, compod tio t sad inspectorship deeds enteral Into between debtors and their creditors, shall, on the Bak day of July perk be removed from the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghallatreek In the City of London, to the Chief Registrar's Mee, in Quality-eourt, Chan szry-Lane, and that after that day every deed or instrument exe cuted by a debtor shall be produced sod left for the purpose of being registered, and every copy deed and account of the debts of the debtor, and every certificate of a Muster, and all 3131t11,itil and other documents scloting to such deed or insdrument, shalt be tiled at such last mentione s office, and not elsewhere.

Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Messrs. Lofty Rod Co., appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Beard forthedefence. Mr. Metcalfe, in opening the case, said that the defen dant, who was • reporter, had written a repott, which ap peared in the Wedly Tibia of the Bth of June, which be thought the niagistrate would be of opinion was a most improper statement to be published. It related to the case of Mr. Phillips, which bad lately been so much before the public. It was due to the defendant to state, that after the death of Mrs. Phillips, the mother of that lady instantly made criminal accusations agaiust Mr. Phillip', and also egainet the medical man who finally attended his wife. Bbe employed attorneys to investigate the cireinnstatices ; appli cation was made to Mr. Bedford, the coroner, to h o d an inquest, and after a ft.ll inquiry the application was refused. A second application WWI made to another coroner, Mr. Brent. who aso refused to bold as inquest, believing that Mr. Phillips was fully exocerated by the statements of the medical men who attended his wife. After this the matter slept for some months, although it appears that when Mr. Humphreys succeeded to the office of coroner for the dis trict, he oonsented to an investiption of the matter, and, upon affidavits made by Mrs. Little, the mother, ordered the exhumation of the body with a view to holding an in quest. Judge then of the surprise and indignation felt by Mr. Phillips when he saw, in the Weeklp Tian of Jane 8, a publication of all the libellous userticee made by M Little wider a heading, in lar ge type, of " Alleged M a iud sr by a Gentlemao." Mr. Metcalfe then proceeded so vend the report, which he characterised as false and wicked, there being no foundation whatever fur the libellous user tions it contained respecting Mr. Phillipes treatment of his wife, with wham be had lived oaths moat affectionate terms. herder to season the report in the penny-a-liner fashion, be described Mrs. Phillips is one of " the handwirnest young ladies of the day," which was, like : all the rest of the report, wholly untrue, although designed to excite sympathy. Mr. Corrie—A sort of " sensation "effect Mr. Metcalfe—Exactly so. It went oo to state that dur ing her illness the husband poured something into her mouth which stopped her breath, and induced her to exclaim .. You have Palmered ene at last." Nothing of the kind was said, although the poor woman, in bar feverish filiuent of that promise. The promoters of the bill hot been met by a very specious argument, for they knew It was s►id that a certain person could quote scripture. (A Liugh I It was contended that it would not be right to constitute the Court of Chancery a court of appeal from the decision of either house of parliament : sad as the opinion of the legislature had been impaired on the subject, the case ought to be entirely withdrawn from the court. He must repeat what he had felt from the com mencement, that this was a most unjust blow armed at an individual. (Hem., hear.) He could not help thinking that if that individual must be deprived of his rights it ought to be done in the usual way, and be ought to be compensated for what be lost. After the defeat which he (the Lord Chancellor) had sustained in the other house, a bill was brought in by the right hoc. awl leerned gentleman the mem ber for the Univonity of Dublin, but it shared the same fate. He trusted, however, that their lordships would receive this bill, for it would afford them the means of remedying a greet injustice. At the same time he quite coninned in the suggestion which had been made by his noble and learned friend as to the form the enactment should take. (Hear.) ' The Marquis of CLANRICARDE expressed his gratifi ratio° at the introduction of a bill, the object of which was to redress as gros► a piece of cootiscation as had been per petrated by any despot in Europe. The noble lord said that the house ought to bear the other parties interested ; but he should like to know who had any concern in the matter except Wa Thomas Wilson? (Hear, hear.) Lord CHELMSFORD assured their lordships that he had no acquaintance with Sir Thomas Wilson, and that his only motive in taking up the subject was his feeling that a grow injustice had been done that gentleman. He must remind their lordship, that the Court of Chancery would be restrained from interfering in all cases where it was manifest that the tenant for life was not intended to have power to grant building leases ; and, therefore, if the case was as the noble lord supposed, it could not give Sir Thomas Wilson the relief be sought. He quite agreed in the suggestion which had been made as to rejecting the 21st clause. He would therefore adopt the noble and learned lord's advice ; and he hoped as the noble lord opposite was no locger in the House of COIDIDODR, and as an improved feeling had latterly grown up, the measure would speedily become law. The bill was read a second time. HIGHWAYS BILL. The report of amendments was received, and some farther meadukento were inserted. SALE OF SPIRITS BILL. This bill passed through committee. POLICE AND IMPROVEMENT (SOCYPLAND) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL moved the mond reeding of this bill, which he stated consisted in • great measure of the consolidation of the acts, English and Scotch, relating to the internal government of boroughs. After a short discussion, in which the Duke of Montrose, Lord Brougham, the Earl of Galloway, the Earl of Airlie, and the Earl of Camperdowo, took part, the bill was read a wood tune. AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE BILL. Earl augsru moved the second reading of this bilL He said he would not describe the provisions of the bill, which ware like those of other bills for the abolition of the slave trade. The bill carried into effect a treaty with the United States, giving the right of search in American vessels. and courts were to be established at Sierra Leone, the Cape of Good Hope, and New York. The Earl of DERBY said he was sure they would be unanimous in this and the other of parliament in their endeavour to carry out the object of this treaty. It was well known that the principal means by which the slave trade had been carried on was the refusal of the United Slates to concede the right of search. He trusted that if any other power showed a tacit disposition to evade the treaties in force, a representation would be made to that power on the part of her Majesty's government. He trust: cl that the bill would pass with the unanimous consent of their lordships. After a few words from Earl RUSSILL, the bill was read a second time. GAME LAWS AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL The report at amendments on this bill wee brought up, The Earl of CLANCARTY moved the insertion of a clause enumerating the acts under which the penalties pro vided by the act for night poaching should be recovered. The Earl of DEBBI. mid that originally the bill wu in teeded to apply to England and Scotland only. He hoped that it objection was taken in the other house of parliament to the extension of the bill to Ireland, the noble marquis opposite (the Marquis of Clanricarde) would not carry out the intention he expressed on a previoua evening, and op pose the further progress of the measure. The Marquis of CLANEICARDE said he did not antici pate any opposition to the bill in the House of Commons. He wouldnot, however, under any circumstances, oppose its progress through their luedihips' house. The motion was then agreed to. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the title of the bill was altered to " A bill for the prevention of night poaching." The Queen's Prison Discontinuance (1862) Bill, and the Crown Private Estates Bill, were then reed a third time and pa Their lordships adjourned at a qoarter to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COBEMONS.—TIIISDAY, Jul: 8. THE PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENTS BILL. At 10 minutes to four the Chairman was directed to re port progress, and ask leave to sit nails on Friday at 12 o'clock, 'ad the sitting of the home was suspended. • ' . ' The sitting was resumed at six o'clock. RECOGNITION OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the First Lord of the Treasur► whether her Majesty's government had received any official intimation of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by the Russian government ; and whether it was tree that Sir Jas. Hudson had officially congratulated the Sardinian govern ment thereon ? Lord PALMERSTON—Her Majesty's government have received information from St. Petersburg that the Rusaian government have come to the determination of acknowledg mg the kingdom of ltely—caser, hear)—and ► messenger has been sent off from St. Petersburg to communicate that determination to the Italian government. (Hear. hear.) We have not yet heard from Turin that that messenger has arrived, therefore, as regards the second question of the ben. member no such communication can, so far as we know, have been made by Sir J►mes Hudson to the government of Turin. I may. at the same tame, while on this subject, men- tion that her Majesty's government have reason to believe that the government of Prussia will follow the example of Russia in asknowledgiog the kingdom of Italy. (Cheers.) IL ZENOS AND THE BRITISH STAR. Mr. MAGUIRE mired the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would lay upon the table a eopy of the further correspondence between the Foreign and Mr. Zenoe in reference to the suppression of the Britian Star. Mr. LAYARD replied that there WRI no intention to lay say further correspondence on the table wish regard to the suppression of the British Star, and for this reason, that there had been no such 'oppression. Mr. MAGUIRE—Has there not been a correspondence between M. Zeooe sad the government upon the subject of the Braisla Star since the tune the question was last before the home Mr. LAYARD—There has been a correspondence, but we have no intention of laying it upon the table. SITIN FOR PLACES OF WORSHIP (IRELAND) WI,. In reply to Mr. LEROY, Mr. if`MAHON said that as he could have so hope at this late period of the session of carrying this bill, be did not Wend to proceed with it, GYMNASTIC TRAINING IN SCHOOLS. Led ELOHO rose to move the following moieties' : "That the physical, moral. and economical advantages arming from a system of physical training have been clearly shown in evidence before the Royal Education Commission ; that it is expedient for the increase of the bodily as well as the mental aptitudes of children for civil, industrial, as well as for possible military service, that encouragement and aid should be given for the extension of the practice of sys tematised gymnastic training, and for teaching military and naval drill as now practised in the district halftime schools for orphan and destitute ..bildren, and in other schools for pauper i children." By affirming his resolution, the ho use . stamp with its approval not something wholly new and untried, but a system which already existed and was in successful operation amongst 5,000 or 6.000 of the population round London, and the effect would be to extend throughout the country a system which would eintributo to the health, happiness, and wealth of the people, and to the prosperity and security of the empire. Mr. ADDERLEY seconded the motion. Mr. LOWE observed that even after the elucidation it bad received from the speech to which the house had just listened, be found the resolution of the noble lord very obscure. His impression was that they already gave quite enough out of the public revenues in aid of the voluntary system, and that if they went much further they would destroy the voluntary system altogether, The principle was exceedingly dangerous because it went to the whole root of education, and for all these reasons be hoped the house would not assent to the resolution. Mr. ADDERLEY thought nobody could dispute the ins portaoce of the proposition of his noble friend, but he felt that in its present form it oat not of a sufficiently practical character. He would suggest that it should be an instruc tion by the Committee of Council on Education to their inspector% to institute the use of gymnastic exercises for boys in all schools aided by government grants. If his noble friend would add these words to the resolution he should be reedy to support him. He must say he thought the right boo. gentleman opposite bad exaggerated the expense of each a grant. The motion was negatived without • division. THE WAR IN CHINA. Mr. WHITE rem to move the following rest - lotion : " That it is the opinion of this house that her Majesty's ministers should direct the British authorities and com manders of her Majesty's naval and military forces in China to avoid any intervention beyond that ateolntely necessary . for the defence of those B ri tish subjects who abstain from all interference in the civil war now raging in that country." He had received • letter front a friend in China, who had been g member of that house, in which he stated that there was a mo.t earnest and sincere desire on the part of the Taepings to come to terms with the government, and the British government had only to will it and the thing wag done. Mr. Consul Meadows stated that the Manchow dynasty had received its death blow--first from the Bri. tisb, and next from the combined British and French at. tack, and that anarchy and insecurity pretailed. After the gai bling and suppression of official documents in the case of the Affgban war he did ant place much confi deuce in She Dine books, although he had quoted from them. But what he wished to know 'from the noble lord at the head of the government was, who were to pay the expenses! (Loud cheers.) He put this question in the interest of the British taxpayers. He bad endeavoured to trace what had bees the ostensible policy of the home government, and the actual conduct of their authorities in China. He had abstained from de nouncing the conduct of their officials in China ; but he well knew if it was a policy of aggression, it would receive the support of the noble lord, for every aggressive attitude on the part of British officials abroad always received his sup- The last China ear had coat this country over F . :0 1 10,001X, and that was not even the end of the expense. He wished to know from the noble lord whether they were going to have another war. (Loud chews,) Sir L PALK said as long as they could trade with the Chinese it ought to be a matter of indifference to them who ruled in China—whether Imperialists or Taripiop He trusted the noble lord would recollect that both sides of the house bad raisedtheir voice to warn him against the policy of continued interference in China, and if the result should be • war, he should remember with some satisfaction that he had been amongst those who had declared beforehand that the course of the government on this subject was opposed to the true interests of the country. Mr. OREGSON understood the hon. gentleman to warn the government against entering into • little war, but if be was rightly informed we were not entering upon any war at all, but were maintaining • system of perfect neutrality. (" Oh, oh," and • laugh.) All we were doing, so far as he could learn, was to protect the treaty ports. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KINNAIRD had expected that his hon. f r i en d would have brought forward • much stronger case than he had done, seeing the length of time his notice bad been on the paper. He deprecated motions of this character, and could not suppose the house would countenance them. It appeared to him that nothing could be so objectionable as for the house, ignorant of the facts and circumstances, to pass resolutions characterising what was going on in China as a war in which this country had engaged. Colonel SYKFM defended the character of the Taeping chief. Mr. LAYARD believed that the policy which the English government bad permed was the one beet cal culated to prevent war. They had no sympathy with the imperial government at Pekin. Their sympathy was with the Chinese people, one of the most industrious and merito rious people on the face of the earth. What would have happened if they had allowed the Taepings to take possession of the treaty ports? There was no organised operation amongst the Taepiogs, and there was no apprehension that we should be celled upon to defend the six teen porta at once. But suppose the Taepings were in possession of the treaty ports, would they re spect the treaties ? Certainly not. On the contrary, they did not understand obligations, and we had no treaties with them. We should then have been on bad terms with the I imperial government, and on bed terms with the Taepings, unless we had been content to give up seerythiog we had gained by the recent war. The only chance of oreserviog peace, he believed, was to defend the treaties, and give all the support we could to the imperial government to put down the rebels. That he believed to be our true pohcy, and a policy that was consistent with our interest. He should, therefore, oppose the motion. Mr. COBDEN said if he had felt some apprehension with regard to our relations with China before his hoe. friend the Under Secretary for State addressed the bouts, that apprehension was now very much increased. His hon. fneod told the house he would inform them what the policy of the government was. He confessed he left him in a mere as to that policy, but if he understood him correctly he thought he had promieed 'them engagements which, as him hon. friend the member for Brighton said, they should hear something of hereafter, and not only they but their children. There was one fallacy run sips through the whole of his hon. friend's speech, and that was when he spoke of the Chinese government. Now, there was no government in China. Any hon. gen tleman who had read the blue books with any attention must have arrived at the conclusion that there was no government exercising the force of a government in the Chinese empire. If (said the hon. member) we take • mode rate view of the business we have and may expect with China, I would ask whether it is worth the risk of entering into the gigantic symem of intermeddling which the boa member has just disclosed ? He has told us of three dif ferent • one is to take possession of the eustoni-hoi and the revenues of China ; the next is to defend the treaty porta, and the other to send officers for the pur pose of drilhag the Chinese. With regard to the fine, !think he said we sbouldgive them some advice in reference to their finances. (A laugh.) We have sent commissioners to look after the finances of Turkey ; we have lately interfered to support finances at Morocco; and now we are undertaking to give advice as to the finanoes of China at Pekin. If we grupon this system we shall soon require some shrewd .:. or Swiss to come and look after our own financial affairs. (Laughter and cheers.) Doe'tlat the noble viscount say "here he is wanting us as usual to abandon Eng lishmen in China and to give them up to the Taepings." I admit that where you have established Englishmen as merchants you are undoubtedly bound to protect their property and their lives to tbe utmost extent of your power. (Hear, hear.) But it is unwise to establish British merchants where you are pretty sure to involve them in collisions with the people, and where their estab lishment is sot likely to be attended by say national ad vantage. (Hear, bear.) If we had not gone too far already for a remedy—and I am not sure that the noble viscount has not carried us so near the edge of the precipice that even his reputed dexterity cannot keep us out of the vortex— I would say that we should do that which we ought to have done from the first—have as little contazt with the people of China as possible ; leave the business as much as pos sible to the merchants there, and have no political contact with the government if you can help it. You have sixteen treaty ports, and merchants and practical men tell you that if you were to detach yourself from a great number of those porta, you could do so without any disadvantage to your commerce, without the slightest loss to this country, while you would avoid the risk of coming in collision with the people. I would therefore withdraw from as many of them as you find not useful, advantageous, or necessary, and concentrate your Made in that empire in as few places as possible. A gentleman who has sent probably one-third of all the goods from this country to China during the last few years, and is now %ruder the roof of this house, is of opinion that if, at tint, you bad had a free port at Shanghai', another at a place midway on the coast, and a third at Cant', and contented yourselves with those three, you would have done as much trade with China as you have done, soil at a comparatively insignificant expense, hardly more than that of carrying on our business at Singa pore. The hon. member then said that the statement of the hon. member might well appal every one who looked to the future for himself or his children ; that every step the government were taking iu their prieetit course involved them in fresh difficulties said responsibilities, and rendered the Imperial government more powerless to control the rebels. (Hear, hear.) By their interference they prevented the only remedy for anarchy . and confusion being resorted to, because the suffering arising out of the elements of disorder would prove to a people with such instincts as the Chinese the necessity of looking to some leader who would establish the government on some secure basis. Lord PALMERSTON said that if it were true that the wars waged by England against China undermined and de stroyed the imperial government, and gave encouragement to the Taepings, it was our duty to make amends by endeavouring to re - establish that authority we were said to have destroyed. He agreed with Mr. Cobden in the fundamental principles on which our inter course with China ought to be carried on, namely, that oar proceedings should be confined to trading and commercial transactions ; but if our merchants west thither of their own accord, still it was the duty of oar government to protect them. Mr. Cobden urged that no attempt should be made to penetrate into China, but that our traders should remain on the coast and trust to trade coming to them ; but that was not the opinion of the mer chants in China, who were desirous of access to the interior of the country in order to enlarge the sphere of their operations. The government of China was now headed by an enlightened man, who was aware of the value of intercourse with those with whom his country traded; and there was a great improvement in the trade with the country, and this would not have been effected unless we had established a mission in the capital. He justified the course taken by this country in assisting to regulate the finances of China, and stated his ignorance of any causes which were calculated to bring on a great war with that country, when all our action was directed towards assisting and strengthening, instead of opposing and weak ening, the Chinese government. Mr. WHITESIDE said that the noble lord bad not an swered the temperate argument of the hoe. member for Rochdale. All be said win, that he made war with China justly, and that be would now interfere to remedy the mischief his policy had created. Such a noires was preg nant with mischief, and he hoped it would never meet with the approbation of that house. Mr. WHITE in reply, said that the main "P -aint which had been used against the present policy in China had never been answe.ed, namely, who were to pay for the expense of it. The small surplus of 170,0001. calculated on by the Chancellor of the Exchequer would soon become a large deficit, whilst by teaching the Chinese the use of European weapons they were training them in the arts of modem war, which would be surely put into practice against thoneaelves hereafter. - The SPEAKER having put the quertion, Mr. WALPOLE said he wished testate in a few words why he could not vote for the motion. it was giving direc tions to the government bow they were to act with regard to circumstances of which the house did not know all the benriogs. He should thereto-, vote against the motion. But according to the policy now announced by the Mader- Secretary of State, and confirmed bythe noble lord, they were actually to take part in the civil war in China, with a view of restoring law and ceder in that country. In the words et the Under-Seastary, they were to give their sympathy, their advice and aritano•—their sympathy with the Chinese empire, their advice on the state of the Chinem finances, their assistance in collecting the revenue for the imperial government. (Hear, hear.) They were also to aid the imperial forces with lewd to the 16 Warty porn with which they were now at liberty to trade. If Wavers so, they were innivieg themselves in • Mate of war; for war of course it would not be against the Emperor of China, but of hostility of the wont description, for we should be state, did once adopt one of the expressions of her lumber, whose conduct no doubt caused the death of her child. The expression here quoted vas used by the mother io reference to certain appearances about the month of the deceased, can by the administration of iron by the medical gen tleman. Mr. - Beard, for the defendant, here observed that when his client heard that the exclamations imputed to the wife had been uttered while she was in a state of feverish ex citement, he made every effort to remove the impression caused by the first report, by publishing the facts elicited at the bequest which completely exonerated Mr. Phillips from the charges instituted by his mother.io-law. He was now prepared toapologiae to Mr. Phillips for thy injury be might have inflicted by the original report. He knew nothing el Mr. Phillips, and could have had no ill-feeling Against him, while the details reported were wholly derived from the statements modest the coroner's, and were not published until the coroner had issued his order for the exhumation of the body. Mr. Metcalfe—That makes the case worse, hectic* the publication would tend to prejudice the minds of the jury and the public before the examination. Mr. Corrie—But why are not these proceedings taken against the mother-in-law' The defendant has only re ported the allegations made by her before the coroner. She is at the bottom of all the mischief apparently. I think the apology of the reporter should be held sufficient. Mr. Metcalfe—The mere utterances of a vindictive woman circulate only among her own neighbours, but a reporter who chooses to adopt and send them to a newspaper, publishes them to the whole world. I say, as an advocate, that there is nothing more pernicious, nothing more prejudicial to the ends of justice, than the practice—l regret to say too general among the newspaper press—of prejudging • case, and cir culating supposed facts before the trial of a are. Mr. Come—But the publication very often assists the ends of justice, does it not' Mr. Metcalfe—Perhaps so, occasionally ; but I have • very strong feeling on this point, and it is for this reason that I have advised the present prosecution, as a warning to reporters. . . Corrie—Well, of course you can go on, although I think I know bow it will end. Have you seen the state ments made by the mother-in-law before the coroner! It to be the whole foundation of the report aThe ppears was then gone into at considerable length, and Mr. Mekalfe said he must ask the magistrate to send it for trial. _ _ Mr. Beard aid that if his wonhip thought the cue must go for trial he had no more to say.. Mr. Gray was sur rounded by those who bad confidence in his reports. He could not conceive what Mr. Phillips wanted. Bin innocence had been atablished, and the defendant bad written the yindication as fully as the original charge in a report of the =quest, extending to five columns. Mr. Carrie-1 will take his own recognizance@ for lea to take his trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court ATTEMPTED MUEDER. At the Woolwich Police Court, yesterday after loos, Emma Sophia Shepherd was placed at the bar, before Mr. Maude, charged with cutting and wounding, with intent to murder George Drury Austin, a rasa with whom she cohabited at 26, Lower Wood-street, Woolwich. The sufferer bad been cosiveyed to Guy's Hospital, and a certifi cate from the home surgeon was handed us, to the effect that the injuries were so extensive, some of the arteries of the neck having been severed, that it was 000eidered impos sible the man could recover. Mr. Mande mid, under these circumstances he would hear some of the witnesses premed, sod immediately pro ceed to the hospital and take the deposition of the sufferer. From the evidence now taken, it appeared that the wounded man (Austin) lied cohabited with the prisoner about three years, and that the latter had recently bees Icue of him. Yesterday morning several lodgers in the were alarmed by loud screams plooeediag from a mom =mood by the primmer. On entering the room it was found that Amide bed a frightful wound on the book of his seek, extending from ear to ear, and it was ascer tained that whilst the man was in a st ooping posture the Prisoner approached him stealthily from behind and men witted the act with a rasor. Medical IIIIMISULD01) was mo tored, and the sufferer was removed to the hospital. The prisoner, when apprehended, said she intended to take Austin's life ; she hoped he would die, and that she should be hung for him : . . . At altpast six o'clock Mr. Maude, aooompanled by Mr. Boosted, chief clerk, and the prisoner in custody of Mr. Inspector Linea, proceeded by train to Cuy's Hospital, for the purpose of taking the deposition of the wounded man. MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN GLASGOW. Between the morning of Saturday last and Mon- day • murder of almost unexampled ferocity was perpe trated in the west end of the city of Glasgow, the circnm steams of which are at present shrouded in obscurity. The victim is a woman ; but the facts, so far as have been aecertained, do not point to any motive which could have urged to the committal of such an atrocious deed. The name of the woman is Jessie Macpherson; abe was be tween 30 and 40 yams of age, unmarried, and employed as , 1 • domestic servant by Mr. John Fleming, accountant, 17, Sandyford-place, a two-storey house, with sunk Bat, the block of building in which it is situate running west front Eldenliestreet. The occupants of the house are, besides other members of the family, Mr. John Fleming, with hie son, Mr. Jobe Fleming, and his father, Mr. James Fleming. The family have a house at Dunooc, and it was the custom for Mr. John Fleming, with his son, to go to the coast at Friday afternoons, remaining generally till Monday. On Frilay last they proceeded thither as usual, leaving in the house Mr. James Fleming, who is 87 years of age, and the deceased. About half-past nine in the evening idr. Fleming went to bed, at which time the m eant was in the scullery ; and about four o'clock on the fol lowing morning—as he learned by • casual reference to his watch—the old man states that he was aroused by hearing two or three screams, which seemed to proceed from the lower part of the house, in which the kitchen and the bedroom of deceased are situated. He paid no attention to the circumstance, however, thinking that she had perhaps brought in a female friend to sleep with her, as there were so few people in the house, and that the noise might have been occasioned in some trivial way. Ibis opinion be still held when on the following morning he arose about ten o'clock and found her bedroom door shut, the ides then occurring to him that she might have gone out with her friend, as the front door was only on the check. At all events, he did not seek to investigate the matter further, but after making and partaking of breakfast quitted the house : and in the even ing he again retired to rest, her apparent absence from home still unaccounted for. On Sunday be went twice to church—the day and night passed, but still there were so tidings of the miming woman. His son and grandee° came home about four o'clock on Monday afternoon to dinner, and to them herdisippeara nue was made known. They went dowestairs tothe sunk fiat, but found the bedroom door locked, and the key miming. The key of the pantry, how ever, secured ingress, and on entering the room the body of the murdered woman was found lying on the floor, face downwards, and in a state of almost absolute nudity, with three fearful wounds in the head, which had seemingly been inflicted with a heavy and sharp instrument—one above the right ear, and so large as almost to admit of the flamer being inserted, soother *crow the forehead, and the third over the bridge of the nose, while one of the jaws was smashed in several places. The clothes of the murdered woman were strewn about the room covered with blood, and the bed-sheet, also red-stained„ was fourd wrapped up and behind the door. Leading from this room to the itches streaks of blood were also descried, and on close examination the conclusion was come to that here the murder bad been committed. After the deed was con summated, the body had apparently been dragged through the lobb to the bedroom, there placed on the bed, undo, and afterwards left on the floor in the position in which it was subsequently found. The kitchen appeared to have been partially washed after the murder was committed. On Saturday morning the door opening on the back part of the house was found locked, and the front door, the only way in which egress could have been obtained, was found on the check. No definite opinion can be formed u to the mode is which ingress to the house was obtained, and it is equally a matter of uncertainty as to whether one or more persons were concerned in the deed. Nothing was removed from the house. Nora Brit Mail. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH POACHERS IfIAIL NortiNciiAn.—A very desperate poaching affray took *ea on Saturday last at midnight, on the premises of Mr. Sher win Gregory, at Sammie, four miles from Nottiocham. At the time above stated two of Mr. Gregory'i keepers named John Wright and Edward Husbands were out watching, sod while crossing a seed-field they saw a gang of six or eight poachers. The keepers advanced towards the men and attempted to apprehend them. Upon this the poachers commenced throwing large boulder doses, neveml of which struck the keepers. They were also armed with bludgeons, and • desperate band-to-hasd fight took place. The encounter lasted a considerable time, and eventually all the poachers tot clear away. The keepers were severely injured, and Wright sustained an ex tensive wound on the bead. He now lies in a precarious state. As most of the men were known as being old offenders information was conveyed as speedily as possible to the police, and the next morning five of the gang were apprehended and (arrayed to Nottingham. Their names are T. Hardy, J. Harrison, H. Martin, J. Mallen, and S. Potter. They were taken before Mr. Hannay, a county magistrate, on Monday and remanded till this day (W.sl needay). This tasked the third affray with poacher' which has takes piece in the neigh of Nottingham during the pest few months.
