IMPERIAL PMIMDMNT. SOUSE OF LORDS.—TuuDa.y, FEB. 18. IN 010 HOUSS Of LOUD/ yesterday the Loan CHANCILLOR moved the meend reading of the Pro missory Oaths Bill. Few persons had any idea of the number of these oaths required to be taken on entering on office, which occupied no low than 300 pages of the report of the cemimisszonera, and some of them were exceedingly frivolous. In 1363 a com mission was appointed to inquire into this subject. Some of the commissioners would have all these oaths abolished aa useless and detrimental to morality. He did not go so far as that; but he thought that the oaths should be sparingly used. This bill, therefore, preserved five oaths—the oath of allegiance, the judicial, the official, the military, and constables' oaths. Lord LYVEDEN complained that the noble and learned lord had not adopted the recommendations of the commissioners in their integrity. Earl Ilcssexx believed that the Dill would effect' a groat improvement ; but he suggested some alte rations in the provisions of the bill. After some observations from the Bishop of OM7ORD and Lord Wesreenv, the bill was read a second time, and referred to a select committee. The house adjourned at twenty-live minutes to 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--Teeseae, FEB. 18. IN the House of COMMONS, Mr. DODSON, the chairman of committees, called attention to the state of private legislation, which he described as most unsatisfactory in many respects ; and he moved a series of new standing orders, with a view of remedying these evils. A short discussion ensued, in which Mr. Cave, Mr. C. Forster, and Mr. Bonverio joined, and eventually the debate was adjourned for a fort night. Sir S. NORTHCOTE, in replying to a question from Mr. Fawoett, Savo some information respect ing the Abyssinian expedition. He stated that the Egyptian government had given every facility for disembarking the troops and forwarding sup plies. The Egyptian government had not been asked not to interfere, but there having recently been some movements which indicated an Intention on its part of sending troops into Abyssinia, a re presentation was made to the Viceroy of Erept,who said the reinforcements of the Egyptian troops had been greatly exaggerated, but that he would recal a portion of them lie did not know on what foundation the reports in the papers as to the ad vance of the Egyptian troops rested, but in tho dematches which ho had received there was no mention of anything of the sort. lie bad no in formation that our troops were suffering from want of water. On the contrary, his information was that they were abundantly supplied. Mr. SEELY called attention to the correspondence relating to the cost of building the Frederick Wil liam and of repairing the Brisk and the Cadmus,. and moved for a select committee to inquire and report as to theapplication of moneys voted by par liament for the use of the Admiralty; and, secondly,as to the method in which the accounts should bc pro pared for presentationtothehonse. Hogaveamassof figures in reference to the cost of building and re pairing ships, with a view of showing that the ac counts were misleading, and that the actual *oat both of building and repairing ships was much more than was represented if the indirect charges were all includes. The commissioners of 1861 re ported that the accounts of the Admiralty were elaborate and minute, but not to be relied on for any practical purpose. On these grounds he asked the house to agree to his motion. Mr. Cocas answered the statements of Mr. Seely in detail. The criticisms and statements of the hon. member, he remarked, were much ex a;gerated, and thereby lost much of their value. Fastening on a statement of the hon. member's at Lincoln that the Frederick William bad cost 282,0eui. and might have been built in a private yard for 134,0001. lie showed that the Frederick 'William had be en first laid down for a two decker and then converted into a three decker, and from a sailing ship into a screw steamer. Ho also showed by reterence to the cost of repairs of ships built in private yards as compared with those built in her Majesty's dockyards, that the latter were the cheapest in the end. As regarded the accounts, the Admiralty had appointed a com mittee of three heads of departments to devise a mode of making out the accounts which would be more simple and easily understood, and said he inh nded to submit their report to parliament. He however should not object to the select committee if its inquiries were limited to dockyard expenditure. Mr. CHILDERS said of late years there had been' a progressive improvement in the accounts,but they were still capable of improvement. Ho entered into an elaborate argument to show that they must not look upo capital invested in stores and machinery in the dockyards as capital on which in terest should be charged and added to the cost of the work done. Mr. SAMUDi remarked that the accounts of the Admiralty were not made out in a form by which the cost of any particular ship could be arrived at. Ho was entente , on the question of the cost of ships in private yards as compared with ships built in her Majesty's dockyards, when Mr. Coati interposed, and stated that his obser vations on that head referred ontyto wooden ships, and that iron ships built in private yards were as good as those which were built in her Majesty's dockyards. Vie motion was then agreed to. ' On the motion of Lord ENFIELD, the select COTE mittee appointed Out year to inquire as to the law' and practice relating to the summoning, attend-' mice, and remuneration of special and common juries,was re-appointed. Mr. CotEnteez moved for key. to bring in a bill to repeal certain tests and alter certain statutes affecting the constitution of the University of Oxford and the colleges in that university. Mr. HARDY said ho should not offer any opposi tion to the introduction of the measure, but s ho uld offer all the opposition he could at its future stages. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Leave was also given to the O'CoNoa Dow (who moved it in the place of Mr. CYlleilly) to bring in a bill for further re -elating the sale of fermented and distilled liquors by retail on Sunday in Ireland. Mr. Pim moved for leave to bring in a bill fur ther to amend the law relating to the tenure and improvementof land in Ireland. The bill, he said,was substantially the same as that introduced in 1866 by Mr. C. Fortescue. Its first object was to give to limited owners who wished to improve their property the power of charging a portion of the ex pense on their successors. Its second object was to give to tho limited owner power within certain limits to make contracts as to time. The third object was, in the absence of any specific contract, that the tenant should be secured compensation for the im provements he had effected ; and the fourth to abolish the power of distress. Mr. Veto 36 characterised the bill as unjust, and as containing incurable defeats. Leave was given to bring in the bill. Bills were also introduced by Mr NORWOOD for conferring admiralty jurisdiction on the county courts ; and by Mr. HUNT for transferring to the consolidated fund the sum produced by the accumulation of certain fines, penalties, and fees, Levied and paid in Ireland. The Industrial Schools (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill passed through committee, a clause moved by Mr. Bagwell, enacting that no prisoner should be detained longer than three months unless a fresh warrant was lodged for his detention, being negatived by 31 to 18. The house adjourned at five minutes to 11 o'clock. Ds. as JONGIeB LIGHT-BROWS CoD bilk OIL. —The eaperior arrow of this 01l has bean nalvenally dated. Ti,. J.

The campaign aatioipalei wig sue hatareat by all Gluier of turban I,megawatt...tiff at the wawaty town or the fee country with Iltetrltedlal ensoses. Never within the annals of daeoln ham Verineeting been of such inn. perinea, or induced it larger attendance of the supporters lof the turf. On Monday the trains from all parts verging ate the city were heavily laden, the numerical strength of men awl horses being greater than we ever remember. Those who had not aceustorned hotels to go to, or had not secured accommodation, found every place fell, and the greatest difficulty was experienced in getting beds. There was no betting in the evening, but there was an on• fortuuate attraction in the neighbourhood, • fire of ansiderable dimensions occurring at Rodbell, which is stunted about two miles from Lincoln. The fire raged about a couple of home, and none worked more zealously in the supprtasion of the flames than the racing men who went out to the memo of the disaster. In the evening congratulations could be heard on every side, and the renewal of acquaintances was general. Nearly all the leading turfites had arrived, and most of the lead ing trainers and jockeys were in town, the latter body being especially anxious for the commence meat of hostilities on tho morrow. This morning them was a fog peculiar to the fens, and as • consequence the gallops of the leading favourit es could not be seen to any great advantage. There was a good muster of horses on the course, and the touts reported favourably of nearly all of them. About 9 o'clock the atmosphere became clear, and several of the handicap horses cantered at that hour. . As intimieed, the attendance was the lamest ever known, the ring being crowded, and every available point on the course and hill occupied. Within the enclosure there was an aristocratic attendance (Mr. Chaplin entertaining a large party at Blankney Hall). Backers and bookmakers mustered in great force, and although the former had such a disastrous timo of it at the close of last year they were tempted out again by their success at Birmingham. Since lest anniversary the progmmmee has been revised to come extent, the most notable feature being bringing forward the Lrocklcsby Stakes for decision on the first day, and the substitution of the Gone-away Plate for the Hunters' Stakes. Improvements have also been made in the recently-erected wing of the grand stand, by the pertionin" off of a portion of the weighing 'tend for the accommodation of jockeys and the reporters, the rooms usually used by the jockeys and the press having been made into refreshment rooms. The course was well covered with herbage, but in some parts was rather hold ing. Business commented at half-past twelve with the Trial Stakes, which produced half-a-dozen runners, and furnished a hot favourite in Speculum, who had the top weight. The " talent " were not at fault in their first atterept, as the Duke of Newcatle's colt won rather easily from Cotton, to whom he was conceding ten pounds. The Kenyonites landed a rare stake in the second race—the lkocklesby Trial Stakes—and the fortunate Lord West morland undoubtedly landed a nice stake by the aid of his useful colt ludian Star, who, notwithstanding there were manatees runners, start ed: at the comparatively short price of 100 to 30. The great race of the day, the Lincolnshire Handicap, which appears to gain in popularity every year, brought out 24 runners, five more than last year. Speculation up to the very last moment was carried on with extraordinary spirit, and nearly every horse that ran was backed, so varied were the fancier, and so confident those who in dulged in them. The race itself did not present any remarkable feature', Indigestion appearing from the first to have it pretty much his own way, and in the end he won with conautomate ease. Czar, who had been heavily supported for this event, and generally regarded as a " goad thing,' broke down while running forward, and even in his disabled condition finished • respectable fifth. The Handicap Hurdle Race went to One, is comparative novice at thislcind of badness, but whotook to it so heartily that he literally Liu away from his competitors, and came in a winner by ten lengths. The Gone-away Plate, for bunters, proved u IMOOCSAIIi as this alas of sport usually does. Twenty-two beeses started, aced the winner, I Denmark, disposed of bis competitol a with case.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT IZAG'N WITHDRAWAL OP THE CHALLENGE OXFORD, TUESDAY. The prospect of the abandonment of the great aquatic, carnival which has for years part nested such interest and excitement throughout the kingdom has natu rally given rise to many suggestions as to the future of the -Oxford crew, and the proposed match with the Americans is pointed to as a fitting opportunity for testing their " prowess," as, with the Cambridge match off their hands, they could more conveniently outer upon the affair. With regard to the probability of the " dark " and "light bluer" meeting thin year at Henley, we find that the Ca mbridge term ends so early as Jane 26, while Oxford term is prolonged to July 11. The difference in the terms at Oxford and Cambridge has generally proved a barrier to the meeting of their representatives on Hanley Reach; and as it is not likely the Oxonians will put themselves out of the way, the probability is that the bottle of the blues" will be left to be fought out by some of the indi vidual colleges of the two universities. At the meeting of captains held this afternoon the letter of Mr. Still was discussed, and the matter referred to the committee of the 0.U.8.C., who have forwarded a letter to Cambridge this evening expressive of the great disappointment felt at their withdrawal of the challenge, and hoping they will reconsider their decision. Tho prevalent feeling is that there is no reasonable excuse for withdrawing from the rase at this late period. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE SPORTS.-OXFORD, TuranAr Krause.—lt is stated at Oxford that the deci sion of the adjourned meeting of beads of houses, held this morning at the Old Clarendon buildings, is adverse to the sports taking place at that university, 'hat the otEcial deeit of the authorities has not yet reached the bands of the president of the 0. V. A. Club. This determina tion will necessitate their being held in London, and in the &been.e of the boat race they will prove unusually s ttractive. We understand the Oxonians are desirous of securing Lord's Ground for the competitions, and with that mew the committee have been applied to. There can be no doubt Lord's Ground would add prestige to the gathering, and be a great advantage in a pecuniary sense. The powerful influence of the London Athletic Club will, how. ever, be doubtless brought to bear in favour of Walham green, but it is hoped the wishes of the Oxonians will be studied by Cambridge in the face of the retirement of the latter from the boat race. . under the presidency of t th u e I H ed o on.

Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, conducted the prosecution and Mr. Yui&ht, from the office of Mr. Bard , defended Patterson. - - The widens* on this ceicuden was confined to the for mally proving of the delivery of the tea from the whole sale merchants to the primer.. at their shop in New North-road. Islington. At the close they were again remanded till Thursday. A few days ego • summons wait applied for and granted for the attendance of Mr. Torrent, • pawnbroker in Cable-street, IVellcloseoquare, to show canes why he detained • valuable diamond ring, the property of an Irishman named Donovan, whose wife, Catherine Deno. van, was • rag-eorter in the service of Mr. Gangs Cohen, rag-merchant, at Fieldgateetreet, Wbiteehapel. Mr. Pelham, solicitor for the provocation, said that • few weeks since the complainant found • diamond ring in some meatus was sorting, and in accordance with a rept. !alien of her master's establishment abe was allowed to keep it. She took it to Mr. Tarrant's shop, and saw Mr. Phillips, his foreman, and upon asking him if it was worth anything, ho said, " Yes it is worth 121." She asked him to buy it of her, to whic h he replied that ho could not do so at present, and that he moat make inquiries about it. He directed her to call in seven days. She did so, and be then said she must delay the salo of the ring for twenty-one days. When that term had expired she was told to call again at the end of a month. When that period had tertniaated she went for the third time to the shop and asked Phillips to lend her 3/. upon the ring. He said be would do so, and having made out • pawn ticket duplicate, he handed the latter to her, and she expected she was to receive the money, instead of which he asked her what she was going to allow him for his trouble. Sim declined to give him anything, and he then spoke very harshly to her and declared that he would not give her any money at all. The poor woman left the shop, and made known the whole affair to her master, whose foreman, a Mr. Hart, went to the pawnbroker's I shop, banded the duplicate to Phillips, and demanded the ring. Phillips loaded Mr.HartSwith a good deal of vulgar abuse, applied • foul epithet towards him, tore up the duplicate, and ordered him out of the shop. On the prin ciple that a master was responsible for the acts of his Ger. vent, • einamoss was taken oat against Mr. Tarrant, and as he had not answered to it he should call the officer who served it on Mx. Tarrant to make the usual proof of service, and ask for a warrant. _ Mr. Benson said the officer Stubbinp, No. 111 H, who bad received the summons, was in attendance at the Middlesex Sessions, sand the application for a warrant could not be entertained at present. Mr. Pelham arid the poor woman Donovan war in atten dance with three witnesses, and they had all lost a day's work. The complainant was very poor, and her master and his foreman had taken up this case on her behalf. Mr. Benson said it was a very proper case for investi gation, but under all the circumstances he could not grant a warrant at present. He would grant another summons free to Mrs. Donovan, and it would be made returnable on a future day. THE FL lAN PROSECUTIONS. DISCHAECZ OF ALLEN. Yesterday the chief magistrate, Sir Thoau• Henry. again sat specially at the Polioe-court, Bow.strest, to proceed with the examination of William Desmond, Timothy Desmond, Nicholas English, James O'Neill, John O'Keefe, Jeremiah Allen, Miehael Barrett, and Anne Jos tle., on the charge of wilful murder of the persons killed by t►e Cli•rk, swell explosion. The ordinary business of the court w • conducted at the police-station opposite before Mr. Flowers. _ _ _ _ After the pris oners bad been placed at the bar, Mr. Gifferd, on the part of the crown, said the evidence was complete as against some of the prisoners, whom he should ask the magistrate to commit for trial ; hut with regard to Allen there were certain facts upon which he bad to ask for Sir Thomas henry's judg ment. In the statement which Allen had made to the police, and which would be corroborated by the evidence of Inspector Thomson, Allen did not say, what, never theless, was the truth, that he had previously been in communication with the police, and had mentioned to them something about a plot to rescue the prisoners Burke and Casey, by attacking the van on its way from the police court to the prison —in feet, somewhat after the Manchester _ model. In this statement there were a variety of circumstances fraught with suspicion. First of all, though • stranger, ho was in such intimate communication with Anne Justice that she stated to him what, if she did so, it would be hie duty to men tion to the police, namely, that Casey had told Lac to in form her brother that the authorities were probably aware of what they intended to do, as they would not la the prisoners leave the cell for exercise. It seemed almost that tat hL t should not at once have communicated ial to the polite. Further, when the explosion took place, he was found flying with Anne Justice, and not as might have bees ex pected, siring and detaining her, and saying "This is one of the parser who was concerned in it." However, he (Mr. Giffard) could well understand that from the nature of the catastrophe it might throw a man off his balance, and he could not, therefore, ask the magistrate to send Allen for trial on this charge. I must here merlon (eon tinned Mr. Giffard) that it was stated to the coroner's jury by . a constable that Allen had said that he was sent to the prison by the police, and I think it would have been very desirable that the jury should have waited till Inspector Brennan, then confined to his bed by inners should be sufficiently recovered to attend and give ov kisnee, and that they should not have hurried on in the excitement which so terrible an event was, I admit, calculated to create, to find hastily a verdict of wilful murder el Allen. I sin sure you would not have permitted him to be committed for trial from this court without a full investigation of the truth or falsehood of that statement. At the same time it le only jostles to the coroner's jury to say that there merely was a strong ere of suspicion against Allen, and it wee no answer for him to allege that he was in ern munication with the police, because that might have been with a view to distract their attention from the real point of danger, which, as it now appeared, was not that to which the communication tended to direct them. There does not appear to have been any intention to make an attempt on the rear, and to put the authorities on a false Kent is the favourite trick of those who desire to betray while pretending to serve them. If there had been no far ther evidence, I should, therefore, have considered the ere one in which the jury would have been justified in finding a verdict against Allen. But the fact thatAllendidactuslly suggest to the police that a watch should be kept on pee. sons visiting the prison is in his favour, and that which makes the vital difference is, that Bulkily, the princi pal approver, sires full account of the origin, rise, pro gress, and execution of the plot, and from first to last he makes no mention of Allen. It seems to me impossible to suppose that Allen could have been a party to the plot, and that it should not be known to Bittllany. Under these circumstances, if your judgment, air, concurs with mine, I don't feel that I ought to ask you for a committal ; for on these facts I think it would be impossible to ask an jury to convict him. • impactor Thomson and Inspector Brennan were then examined. Sir Thomas Henry—Mr. Giffard, after hearing this evidence I think that the prisoner A l len ought not to be put on his triaL Certainly till Mullany gave his evidence suspicion was very strong against Allen, and even after that, until I beard the evidence which has been given to. day, I think, perhaps, I should have put him on Isis trial. But I now think that though he was there. it was not with the intent of aiding and abetting in that explosion, but with • view of obtaining information against the others. Perhaps be did not do all that he ought to have done; and certainly he sated in • way to create great suspicion against himself ; but I think he was not a party to the crime, and I shall order him to be dis d. charge As he left the dock Anne Justice, who had been as usual accommodated with • seat, and who appeared more ailing and feeble than on former occasions, rose from her lest with sudden energy, and cried, " Les me speak to you, sir. All that man says is lies." Sir Thomas Henry—You will have an opportunity hereafter. Hr. Giffard mid that the ease for the crown was now complete, and he was ready to ask for a committal ; but he had • letter from Mr. Lewis, who wished for a =mend, to give Dim an opportunity of calling witnesses for O'Neal. Ths prisoners were again remanded. Allem, though discharged by Sir Thomas Henry, and liberated from the custody of the gaoler of the court, was not suffered to go at large. As he wee leaving be was stepped by Inspector Potter, who took his in cus tody maw coroner's warrant, and removed him in • nab to Nowt*, to be tried for murder on the finding of the weenies jury. This circumstance was dollar= unknown to his fellowsnifionas, fee O'Keefe, as be was entering the van, turned towards the crowd and called oat, " Good LT% Allen," evidently su pposing that he would be maw& the sgeotaton.

Mary norms, aged 11 years, of 4, Russell-road, Peck ham, and El imbeds Dunn, aged 10, of 4, Bayard-road, Rye-lane, Peckham, were produced at the court by their parent.; on a remanded charge of obtaining contributions from the public under false pretences. Sergeant Fox, in answer to the magistrate, maid he bad made inquiries since the last examination, and had neer- tained that the appeal in the book carried by the prisoner' s Thomas had been written tt her request by a shopman employed at &groom's, at 163, Highditreet, Peckham, and that both the name and address of the person for whom the contributions were supposed to be collected were false. The Rev. Andrew Drew, incumbent of the perish in which the parents of the prisoners reside, said that geeing the account which had appeared in the papers of the previous examination be had thought it his duty to make inquiries into the case, and on visiting the house of Mrs. Dunn he found the woman for whom the collections were being made, and who wee known about Peckham as " Crazy Jane." He believed that Mrs. Dann had meant well in what she had does, but was afraid that the prisoners had been taught badly, and had gained a knowledge of the mode of beg4ing from a practice which was only too prevalent in the neigh bourhood of Peckham, of sea ling children about to obtain subscriptions on behalf of some " Lifeboat Fund," er for &today School purposes, and that the prisoner Dunn had, one previous occasion, collected subscriptions for a life best, in connection with the Congregational Chapel at Peckham. Mrs. Dunn said it was not her daughter then in custody who bad been so er.gaged, but another daughter. Mr. Mande said he had received a letter from the father of the prisoner Dunn, who complained of certain observa tions he made at the first examination, implying that his wife had teen guilty of *ending her child out to obtain contributions from the charitable public under false pre tences. He would repeat that, under a recent Act of Par liament, the mother had rendered herself liable to be charged for so doing, for what did he find in the written appeal in her child's book, and which she (the mother) acknowledged having written, but the name of a person who was not to be found at the address stated? The case bad gained that publicity which was desirable, in order to put the charitably dispoeed upon their guard, and the pri soners would now be discharged.

The extraordinary speculation and excitement in the Liverpool oottoa market yesterday and to-day is causing great per plexity among buyers and sellers of yarn and cloth, and the higher prune asked prove • great obstruction to ban ana The sales of the two days are 60,000 bales, and middling American. which was sold at per lb. on Saturday, has to-day fetched 90., while Dhollerah Surat bas advanced from 761 to go.. Spinners and manufac turers have made • oar mpoing advance in their quota tions, but these are to • vast extent nominal, and atop business where persisted in. Sellers of shipping woe report • very strong and arrive market to-day, and say ve l em are making extreme Ones, so that where orders have to bo placed those prices have to be given. At the same time they say these extreme prices check operations, though there is • good genera demand for all markets at something below spinaers' rates. Sellers are asking folly a penny per pound above the prices of last Tuesday, and areloolring forward to still higher prices. In home trade yarns there has been a strong market, and sellers of these yarns have been demanding • considerable advance on the rates of Friday—as much in some cams as id. to Id. per lb. The result is that only • small business has been done. Buyers hesitate to follow the extreme prices required. Manufacturers who took contracts • month or more ago, based on cotton at 7d. to 7)cl. per lb., and bad not the moms or foresight to cover their orders (souse of them extending irto May), are almost aghast at the prices they have to pay for yarn made from cotton at 9)d. Sellers of cloth say that the continued ex citement in the Liverpool cotton market baa raised their quotations of cloth apparently far beyond the point which buyers are prepared to follow, and business has conse quently been much restricted to-day. A considerable ad vance has been obtainable on the rates which would have been given last week, but no advance which approaches the increased poet of production at the current rates for cotton. While on the one hand the wellongaged position of manufacturers caused them to be very indifferent about taking offers under to-day's quotations, on the other buyers do not offer to follow the rapid advance taking place. Few of the principal manufacturers ere in • posi tion to take additional contracts, while buyers are not nr s til liss in i 2 p uirisol ses with • view to business.
