RILYHESESTATION or FIELATOL—The rumoured probability of Mr. Brett's early elevation to the bench has led both parti e s in the little borough of Heleton to prepare for en election. Mr. K &Gordon, the Lord Advocate of ticotlanil, has consented to 00111 c forward in the conserva tive interest, and it is believed that Mr. Henry Roger,. a local solicitor, will fight the battle for the liberals. On being invited to come forward, Mr. Rogers replied that, "although he hail unperson.' ambition to take upon him self the honour of representing the borough, yet, rather than ree it sacrificed, he would consent to allow himself to be put in nomination." An address has been issued to the electors by a Mr. John Lea, who promises, in the event of his candidature being successful, "to establish a new English home in the wleinitr of Holston," and to " dedi cate himself "to promote the beet local interests. It is impassible to judge from his address what political creed he pro/ewes, and it is cabin that he has no chance of sumer.

Is the face of deprecating friends the Govern ment still clings to the Parks Bill. Whether it is urged on by some malevolent power, or obeys a native instinct of provocation, we can only conjec ture, but the result is to be regretted. The Bill cannot and will not answer any useful purpose. It will be a dead letter in quiet times, while in periods of public excitement the vice of its origin must suggest to the Minister of the day the extreme impolicy of enforcing it. By the classes against which it is directed the attempt to pass it now is regarded as the continu ation of a quarrel in which Ministers have figured most ignominiously, and so it will appear to them a year or two years henoe. The enjoyment of the Parks by the public is a fair subject for legislation, thoughover-legialation is athing alwaystobeavoided by the governments of free communities ; but the subject should be treated in a broad spirit, and for its own sake, not with reference to petty squabbles of a day. The cases are very rare in which large bodies of men will want to assemble in the Parks. Deliberative meetings cannot be held there, but should twenty thousand people, forsome political reason, want to show themselves to be not fewer than twenty thousand, perhaps Hyde-park is the place whore they can accomplish that object with less inconvenience to the public than any where else. The so-called demonstrations of this and last year it is well-known were caused by the foolish and persistent assertions of some speakers and writers, supposed to represent the opinion of certain influential sections of society, that the working classes were indifferent to the question of reform. Household Suffrage and the Lodger Franchise will enable those classes to make known their opinions most effectually, without such march ings and countermarchings as we then saw. Should, however, this Bill be passed, and some occasion arise for the renewal of the objectionable demon strations, the only effect of it would be that in stead of the processions passing along the streets to be soon swallowed up in the Park, they would make a circuit through the principal thoroughfares, obstructing traffic, and causing more annoyance to tradesmen at the West-end than if the Bill had not been thought of. It is not well to multiply prohibitions needlessly. There is often more wis dom in disregarding remote contingencies than in minutely providing for them. The best security fur peace and order is not an elaborate system of police, but an administration which inspires confi dence by its character, and which in turn under stands the people and knows how to trust them. BIRMINGHAM has not tarnished its reputation and belied the promise of its political history by return ing a Tory to .it by Mr. BRIGHT in the House of Commons. Mr. DIxoN has been elected by a majority of sixteen hundred. That the struggle was conducted by the Conservatives with great spirit is seen in the fact that whereas their candidate at the last contested election received only 1,544 votes, on this occasion Mr. SAMPSON LLOYD received 4,214. Mr. BRIGHT on that oc casion polled 4,282 votes ; Mr. Dixon on this, 5,819—50 that Mr. ',Loy D received yesterday within sixty-eight of the number of votes which secured Mr. Banner's victory in 1859. Each party in Birmingham better un derstands both its own and its opponent's strength than it did a week ago, although it is important to observe that special circum stances gave a peculiar character to this contest, and called forth into activity elements not avail able for an ordinary struggle. The result is very satisfactory, for it is hardly conceivable that the Tories of Birmingham will ever again fight at such advantage. Their candidate's minority has been swelled by the votes of very many electors who would by no means acknowledge the Earl of DERBY and Mr. Dumara.l as their leaders. The attempt to trade upon the feelings excited by Mr. Muarnir's visit to the town has had a large measure of success, and honest, simple people who do not care much for either Tory or Radical left their homes yesterday to vote for LLOYD in the belief that they were doing GOD and their country service by recording a useful and necessary protest against the progress of Popery. The mind must be in a singularly perplexed state that can confound the essentially Popish spirit of MURPHY'S proceedings with that of Protestantism, and fancy it sees a remedy for want of liberty in the strength of Mr. DISRAELI in the House of Commons ; but we all know the confusing influ ence of passion. The illustration now afforded of the extent to which an election so important as that of yesterday is liable to be affected by considerations of this order, deserves the notice of statesmen, and should make Liberal leaders anxious to remove as much as possible all occasion for misconception as to the principles which they believe should govern the relations of the civil power with religious bodies. No mischief, however, has been done upon this occasion, and notwith- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1867. standing the "No Popery" cry raised so unfairly against Mr. Dixon, he has been returned by the exertions of the most earnest and enlight ened Protestants in the constituency. The Tories are aware that they have nothing on which to congratulate themselves in the manner in which they have conducted this election, and it is satis factory to know that their activity has brought out the Liberal party in unsuspected and overwhelming force. Witt Court. OSBORNE, JULY 28. The Empress of the French arrived yesterday afternoon on a visit to the Queen. Her Majesty is attended by the Duchess de Bassano and the Count de Brivac. The Queen, accompanied by the Empress, drove out this morning. Prince and Princess Leiningen dined with the Queen yesterday. Coventry has corrected the mistake she made when Mr. ELLICE died, and sends to Parliament a Liberal in the room of the late Tory member. The electors could not be brought out to vote for Mr. FERRAND as they were for Mr. TREHERNE, and Mr. JACKSON may almost be said to have won easily. Mr. FEBRAND polled fewer votes by several hundred than were given at the last general election to Mr. FLOWER, or even to Mr. MASON JONES. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, JULY 23. The Sultan, with the Imperial Princes and the whole of his Imperial Jlajetrty's suite, left Buckingham Palace at half•past 10 o'clock this morning for Dover, en mate to the continent. MARLBOROUGH-HOUSE, Jax V. The Prince of Wales, attended by Viscount Hamilton, General Sir William Knollys, the Hon. C. L. Wood, and Captain Ellis, went from Marlborough•house this morning to Buckingham Palace, and accompanied his Imperial Ma jesty the Sultan thence to Dover. After his Imperial Majesty's departure from Dover his royal highness returned to London. The Princess of Wales drove out, attended by the Hon. Mrs. W. Grey. So far as these elections show, the Tories have gained nothing in public estimation by playing fast and loose with principles. The tactics which fascinate a majority of the House of Commons, and fire the worshippers of success with enthu siastic admiration, are unappreciated out of doors. The average Englishman is still of opinion that the way to get Liberal measures passed is to return Liberal members to Parliament. If Lord DERBY had made his Reform speech of Monday night a week earlier, and given the public time to reflect on the political morality which he is not ashamed to profess, the Liberal majorities at Bir mingham and Coventry might have been even greater than they are. A committee of the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honour. able Privy Conned sat yesterday at the Privy Council office, Whitehall, on the subject of the cattle plague. The lords present were the Lord President and Lord It. Montagu. A deputation, introduced by the Earl of Wilton, and consisting of Mr. John Jubb, Mr. Joseph Parker, Mr. Joseph Shard, Mr. J. Marriott, Mr. M. Shard, Mr. Sand. Jubb, and Mr. Thos. Dean (solicitor), had an interview with the Lord President of the Council, at the Privy Council-office, Whitehall, yesterday, on the subject of the incorporation of Batley. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial-office to the Governors of the settlements on the West Coast of Africa. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE VISIT OF THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 23. The Empress of the French arrived at Porta mouth yesterday, and spent nearly two hours in the place, but the presence of so distinguished • visitor was known only to very few persons. The imperial yacht Re ne Hortense reached Spithead earlier than was antici pated, having made the run from Havre in eight hours, and as the royal visitor was not expected to arrive at Osborne until three o'clock, the Empress, attended by • distinguished suite, landed at the Southaes-pier. A tele gram was forwarded from "the Countess Reinhardt (under which name the Empress is travelling incognito) to tbo Emperor of the French," announcing the safe arrival of the yacht and the freedom of the passengers from sea sick ness, and a telegram was ailed forwarded to Osborne-house. The Empress spent some time on the pier, and afterwards walked on the Esplanade and witnessed the movements of tome of the troops, who were going through • series of evolutions on Southsea-common. She then proceeded to the Southsea Fier Hotel, where luncheon was served, and afterwards returned to the pier, whence she was conveyed in • launch to the Reine Hortense, her departure being apparently hastened by the hoisting on the flag-staff of the French tri-colour, which was no doubt considered • suffi cient indication that the imperial presence bad been disco vered. After the re-embarkation the yacht steamed slowly through the fleet at Spithead, which, though many of the ships have left, still presents an imposing appearance. THE REFORM BILL AND THE LORDR. The Times reviews the debate of last evening, speech by speech. Though the house has assented to the second reading of the bill, the debate has brought out very clearly the unfavourable opinion of the majority on the measure. Lord Shaftesbury expressed the real sentiments of the conservative peers outside the charmed circle of official life, when he repudiated all conSdence in the con servative sympathies of " the residuum," and his practical acquaintance with the class gave his words an authority which many would fain have denied them. What effect the discussion will have on the action of the committee on the bill remains to be seen. The Times does not apprehend much will or even can be done, and neither shares the alarms nor the fond hopes the bill has excited. It will produce some Immediate effects and will do some per manent good in abating the discontent excited by the exclusion of large classes from the privilege of the fran chise, but its direct influence on the legislation of the future has been overrated both by its friends and its foes. Pointing out the political character of Lord Grey, whose schemes of reform are as irrelevant to the requirements of the time, and to the national character and circum stances, as his amendment was to the bill of government, the Daily News proceeds to predict that • day of awakening and repentance for the conservative party will come. When the first flush of triumph is over, a sounder moral sentiment will recur. A speedy reaction of opinion against the authors of the artifices which have for the moment blinded an honourable and high-minded, though prejudiced, body of English gentlemen, is certain. Lord Derby showed an uneasy sense of the indefensible nature of his proceedings by leaving them, so far as he was con cerned, without defence in his diverting reply. Lord Cairns, to whom he left the vindication of the morality of his proceedings, mistakes the real accusation against them, which is this, that for fifteen years they have been using, and encouraging their followers to use, language such as that which, with perfect consistency and sincerity, Lord Grey, Lord Shaftesbury, and Lord Car nervon have employed this week ; and that they practi c►lly confess that they were acting a part, and that they did not mean what they said. While they spoke with Mr. Lowe, on whom they lavished their praise, they thought with Mr. Bright, whom they loaded with abuse. A meaner part was never played by politicians in any nation. It is tolerably evident to the Post from the tenor of many of the speeches which were made that the bill will not be pissed in committee in its present shape except in the face of a strong opposition. The arguments employed by Earl Grey must have weight with a large number of peers, and under his leadership it is not improbable that many changes may be effected in the existing form of the In the thick of reproaches and gloomy prophecies, re. marks the Telegraph, Lord Derby had his opponents with him. Whatever may have been its origin, the bill of the cabinet must pass. It is " better than its birth," and no evil could be so great as to disaproint the country of it now. The Star assures Lord Beauchamp that if he chooses in committee to carry out his idea of equalising the borough and county franchises, the liberal peers will be most happy to prove their sincerity by helping him to send the bill back to the Commons with that welcome amendment. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The result of the debate on the Tornado case is to con firm the conviction of the Tints that Lord Stanley has ex ercised throughout a wise discretion, not only in drawing a broad distinction between the capture of the ship and the protracted detention of her crew, but also in confining his representations upon the former subject to delays and irregularities of procedure. If he has erred at all, it has certainly not been on the side of indifference to the rights and interests of his countrymen. The elections yesterday at Birmingham and Coventry are made the subject of congratulatory comment by the liberal press, but the conservative journals which were very hopeful yesterday are silent on the results. The elec tions are considered as constituting an excellent beginning of a general campaign. The Standard is exceedingly solicitous that the conser vative party should make op their minds as speedily as possible to the fact that, now that the reform question no longer lends a handle to their political opponents, that of the Irish church is sure to be forced, in season and out of season, upon the public attention. Whilst hesitating as yet to declare, in a most arduous and perplexing matter, what is best to be done. it has no hesitation whatever in saying at once what ought not to be done. Unreasoning opposition to any proposed modification or compromise would be as stupid as it would be criminal. The Strtrulard proceeds to censure the Irish conservatives, especially in their late Orange demonstration. It begs them not to make victory impossible. The Telegraph enlarges on the unskilful construction of the Royal Parks Bill. It contains the two worst faults which can be found in a penal law : in the first place, it does not intelligibly define the offence to be punished ; in the second, it leaves the interpretation of the law to the class which for centuries England has uniformly shut out from the exercise of judicial functions—the police and the administrative government. What is to constitute a meeting of a public character? The fact that meetings may be freely held in roy►l parks with permission of the crown means, of course, with the permission of the ministers of the day. When Lord Russell is Premier we are to have one rule ; when Lord Derby reigns we are to have another. The public ought to have at least a year to reflect on so astounding a change in our constitutional practice ; and the present session, when we are still discussing the Re- form Bill, is not the time to debate a question which pro duced so much ill-feeling during the agitation which led to that measure. If we are to have a Royal Parks Bill, let us get it from a reformed parliament. FRENCH PLAYA. —Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide and his Serene Highness Prince de Teck honoured the performance of Le Fits de OiLoyer with their presence last evening.

" I entreat your royal highness also to convey my cc knowledgmenta to the gallant and superb navy, which gave me such a splendid illustration of its power and of its magnificent condition. " ABDUL AM KHAN (on board the royal yacht Os borne)." FROM THE "OWL." The Princess of Wales will leave England in the second week in August. Her royal highness will proceed on board one of the royal yachts to Rotterdam, whence she will pursue her journey up the Rhine, on her way to the waters recommended to her.—On Monday last the Sultan, at his own special desire, paid a visit to Lady Palmerston, the only private visit his Imperial Majesty has paid in this country. The Sultan said to her ladyship that Lord Pal merston was the Englishman he had most desired to see, and that, as he had been removed by inexorable fate, it was his (the Sultan's) wish to pay homage to his name by visiting her ladyship. —His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ham given important evi• deuce before the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to consider the system of retire ment at present existing in the army. The report, which will be presented in the course of the next few days, is likely to suggest some material modifications of the plan now sanctioned.—The Slade Baronetcy ease has been com promised. General Slade, according to the term, of ar rangement brought about by the action of mutual friends, abandons all claim to the title and estates, receiving from his nephew, the present inheritor, 23,0001., and the amount of cost■ for which he has become liable in connection with the recent expensive litigation.— The committee of the cabinet to consider the proposition for the acquisition by the state of the Irish railways have adjourned the comthleration of the subject until Saturday next. —lt is believed in parliamentary circles that the ministerial whitebait dinner which precedes the formal wind-up of the session will take place nut later then Satu rday, the 10th of August.—The House of Commons eon st.-uction committee. over which Mr. Headlam, M.P., pre sides, have made their first report. They recommend that the architect, Mr. Barry, be authorised to collect plans of the leading Continental and American Represen tative Chambers, with the view of submitting them next session to the committee, should the house, as they eon eider expedient, 'unction its re.appoiutment. It has further been suggested that Mr. Barry ought to make per sonal inspection of the Continental chambers. Lord Chas. Russell gave evidence before the inquiry closed. Im portant alterations of the ladies' gallery and the suite of rooms set apart for the Fourth Estate are contemplated.— Mr. M'Evoy has abandoned all intention of proceeding this session with the Ecclesiastical Titles Act Amend ment Repeal Bill, and the order for its second reading no longer remains on the journals of the House of Commons.— Dr. Manning, Archbishop of Westminster, was examined yesterday at great length by the Ecclesiastical Titles Com mittee of Mr. M'Evoy. His eminence stated that, as a Christian and an Englishman, be protested against being compelled to violate the law of the land, but th►t he had no alternative, as ho could not exercise episcopal func tions without doing so. He also urged upon public grounds, that it was in the last degree undesirable that when catholic princes and ambassadors came to this country they should find the bishops of their own church not only ignored. so far as their sacerdotal character was concerned, but made the subject of pains and penalties in the nineteenth century. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Acista, attended by the Count and Countess Versate de Castiglione, Count llalbo, Count Morro, Chevalier Sava dego, and a numerous retinue, left the Clarendon Hotel yesterday morning for Paris. Their royal highnesses were accompanied by his Excellency the Italian minister. Pre vious to their departure they received visits from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Tech, her Majesty's ministers, and the foreign ambaswulon. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. EXPECTED GARIBALDIAN ATTACK AT ROME. The Paris Praise says it has just learned, on certain information, that Mazzini is in Italy, and acting in concert with Garibaldi and the National Roman Junta. A Florence letter of July 21, in the Liberti, speaks of the sudden " disappearance" of Garibaldi after he had been seen in meditation over the tomb of Ferrucci on the =limit of one of the Apennine mountains. The news had caused ten Italian regiments to be sent to the pontifical frontiers, and a squadron of observation to the pontifical coast. According to the Prune, Gari baldi is now in the neighbourhood of Pisa, where he has signed commissions for the officers of the bands which are forthwith to invade the Pope' s dominions. The first Garibaldian attack is con jectured as likely to be made from the Neapolitan frontier. He calculates on an insurrection in Rome simultaneous with his invasion. The word has been passed to the intended insurgents to proclaim a republic in Rome. The Nord has the following on the present agita tion in Italy : The movement which has been for some time going on in Italy on the subject of the Roman question is becoming daily more decided. The Garibaldian party is in fall activity, and already several attempts at invasion have been made by it on the frontiers of the Pontifical States : these enterprises have only failed in consequence of the close watch kept by the troops of the kingdom of Italy. Whilst the party of action is thus striving to excite an insurrectionary movement in the Roman States, its agents in Rome do not remain idle, but prepare the ground for their associates outside the walls by redoubling the revolutionary propaganda. The different fractions of this party agree to forget all their previous disputes and unite all their efforts against the common enemy. The Roman government finds itself more and more incapable of resisting by its own strength alone the events that menace it. Desertions thin the ranks of its little army to an extent that causes much disquietude, and the sums brought to Rome by the bishops who came from all points of the world to the solemnities of the Eternal City, would be powerless, in case of need, to repress an insurrection. As to what con. Innis Italy. or rather the Italian govemment, the Holy See distrusts, or affects to distrust it, in spite of the numerous and palpable proofs given of its respect for the engage ments it has contracted towards the Papacy. Thus the Roman court appears to be meditating a serious appeal to the succour of the catholic powers, hoping doubtless that the troops sent by those states, once at Rome, will be in no hurry to quit the Eternal City, and insure a new and long term to the duration of the temporal power.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 23. Standard white petroleum, W. EXPRESS FROM PARE (not ma OWN COIULISPONDENT.) PARIS, TCLSDAY EVLNINC. There are very great doubts whether the Live ror Napoleon will succeed in his project of bringing the Emperor of Austria to Paris. It was given out as quite settled a few days ago that Francis Joseph would come before the end of August. His natu ral grief for the sad end of his brother Maximilian would not, it was said, prevent the patriotic monarch from paying a visit, necessary for the settlement of matters of transcendent importance. The curious notice in the Cwortientionnel last week that on a certain day the Emperor would be goin g to the Chalons Camp, and afterwards to the Pyre. nees, and that all and sundry the sovereigns who desired to see him must make haste and come, was in reality nothing but a symptom of irritation lat the hesitation of the Court of Vienna. It being subsequently f oun d t h at there was not the least chance of the Emperor Francis I Joseph putting in an appearance within the time limited by the Constittitiesners proclamation, the story was circulated that his visit was postponed till "quite the latter end of the season," and that he would only come when Prince Metternich re turns after the conga which he proposes to take at the end of August. Well, even this vague an nouncement turns out to be more affirmative tha n facts will warrant, for the Patric this evening says it is by no means certain that the Emperor of Austria will accompany Prince Metternich to Paris in the autumn, and that " all that can be said at present is, that his project of a visit to Paris is neither abandoned nor adopted." It were impossible to admit, in clearer language, that the alliance upon which such large hopes have been built at the Tuileries is exceedingly pro. blematical. The Epoque says, " under all reserve," that it is decided " in principle" to form two camps of obser vation, one at Lille and the other at Besancon. The command of the first will be given to General Douay, and that of the second to General d'Aute- Marre. In the Senate yesterday M. Michel Chevalier very ably supported a petition from Mulhouse, praying for obligatory primary instruction, but on a show of hands he was left in a minority of one. Yesterday the band of the Garde de Paris gave a dejc4ncr at the Trois Freres to ten performers from every one of the foreign military bands which came to Paris to compete for the prizes just awarded. M. Paulus, the bandmaster of the Garde de Paris, was in the chair. As many as 200—all, with the exception of a few musical critics, members of the different bands—sat down to table. It was recounted that the Emperor had said to M. Zimmerman, the bandmaster of the Austrian regiment (the Duke of Wurtemburg's), which gained the first prize, " Yours is the very type of military music ; that is the instrumenta tion which should be adopted." The Bourse was decidedly heavy. The Rente, better supported than any other security, declined bc. for cash and 'Tic. for account, closing at 68fr. 85e. in each case.

The select committee appointed to consider and report on the advisability of making purchases from the Paris Exhibition for the benefit of the schools of science and art in the United Kindom, and any other means of making that Exhibition useful to the manufacturing in. dustry of Great Britain and Ireland, have conaidered the matters to them referred, and agreed to the following report : "1. They are of opinion that it is desirable that par chases should be made ►t the Paris Exhibition of objects of art and science, especially of each as illustrate modem scientific inventions and discoveries, and the application of art to manufactures, and that the exhibition of such ob jects in the Museum of South Kensington, and, by circula tion, in local museums in different parts of the United Kingdom. would be useful to the manufacturing in dustry of the country, and for the artistic and scientific instruction of the schools in connexion with the science and art department. 2. That, as one of the principal objects of such purchases should be to show the progress made by other nations in manufactures, and in the ►ppliation of art and science to practical purposes, examples of foreign origin should, is the first place, be secured in preference to those of British production. 3. That it is not desirable that picture, and modern statuary sculpture should be purchased. 4. That considering the importance of such purchases to the de velopment of the manufactures and trade of the United Kingdom, they recommend that a liberal grant he asked from parliament for the purpose of making them. They have nut sufficient data before them to enable them to suggest the sum which might be advantageously expended, but they consider that under no circumstances should it exceed 25,000/. 5. Lastly, they are of opinion that no objects should be purchased at the Paris Exhibition, ex cept such as shall be recommended by ► commission con slating of gentlemen, distinguished for their artistic and scientific attainments, who should consult with the two art referees attached to the department of science and art, and other competent persons. They further think it dr sirable that the referees should furnish written reports upon the objects recommended by them for purchase." . _ GREAT EASTRRN RAILWAY (FINANCE) (RE. COMMITTED) BILL. Sir Edward Colebrook° has reported from the committee on group 13 of railway bills : That in the Clue of the Great Eastern Railway (Finance) (Re-committed) Bill they had agreed to the following report: "That, in consequence of an almost unanimous resole tion of a general meeting of the preference stockholilere convened since the report of the Committee on the Great Eastern Railway (Finance) Bin, the committee hare re considered that report. That the bill does not authorise the construction of any railway or new works. That itis posed by the bill to raise 3,000,000/. by the creation of redeem able debenture stock, to be entitled to dividends at sigh rate as the company may determine, rot exceeding fee and a half per cent. per annum. That the affairs of the com pany were shown to have been for some tie' • past ID 01 embarrassed condition, and that the company have to means of extricating themselves from their present finan cial difficulties, and cannot in the present state of the money market issue any of the capital authorised by their special acts ; and it was shown to the eon 111 l ittee that the stun proposed to be so raised by the debenture stock is required for the immediate wants of the company, and to save them from still greater embarrassments. That cir. calms with prints of the bill as proposed to be submitted to the committee had been sent to all the pre ference stockholders on the 11th and 12th instant, and up to the time of making this report answers hail been re ceived from persons holding 2,:r10.572/. of preference stock, of whom the holders of 1,8.447 e were assenting, the holders 11184,1 n. were dissenting, and the !,olden of 259,735/. w neuter. Under the circumstances shove stated, the committee are of opinion that the requirements contained in the 157th standing order ought not to be en forced in this case. That there are no other circumstances of which, in the opinion of the committee, it is desirable that the house should be informed." Sir Edward Colebrook° further reported from the committee:--"That they had examined the allegations contained in the pre milde of the bill, sail had amended the same by netting forth moos particularly the present condition of the company, soil events which have occurred since the last report of the committee, and hod found the same as amended to be tree; and had gone through the bill, sal made amendments thereunto."
