LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 17. TIII: House of Lords has just decided a case which adds somewhat to the slowly accumulating principles by which the morality of commercial prospectuses must be judged in law. In 1862 a company was established for constructing a railway in Venezuela, under the name of the Central Railway of that State. Its length was 54 miles, the capital was to be 500,0001., and the prospectus stated that the concession guaranteed interest at the rate of 9 per cent. for 20 years, seemed by the mortgage of the import duties at the port of La Ouayra and Puerto Cabello, and that there was the additional advantage of a free grant of all the land required for the line and the stations, and of 30,000 acresbesides, in the provinces throughwhich the railway was to pass, for which land warrants were to he issued on completion of the line. The prospectus further stated that a contract bad been entered into with a responsible contractor, who, in consideration of receiving the timber on the line, guaranteed per cent. on the paid up capital during the Pe riod of construction of the works. On the faith of these statements a Mr. KWH applied for a hundred shares, in a form by which he agreed to be bound by the conditions contained in the me morandum and articles of association of the com pany. The whole number ho applied for were allotted to him, somewhat to his inconvenience, but the company insisted on his taking them all, and he paid the allotment money upon them. But when, two months after, a further call of 21. per share was made, he began to make inquiries, and in the course of two months more his soli citors obtained inspection at the company's office of various documents, which induced him to resist the demand, and to file a bill in Chancery to restrain the proceedings that were instituted against him at law. The grounds on which he sought such relief were numerous. Among them, he averred : 1. That the capital of the company was utterly insufficient to construct the whole line. 2. That the company was bound by the conces sion to leposit 20,0001., which should be for feited if the railway was not commenced within a certain period. 3. That the grant of 30,000 acres was not to apply to any private property. 4. That 50,0001. was to be paid to the National Finance Company as the original concessionaires. None of these facts or qualifications were stated in the prospectus. Upon them all the Lords Justices of the Court of Chancery decided that, though the transaction was open to suspicion in such respects, and they might in cline the court to look more strictly at the other points, they would of themselves be in sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to relief. But upon two further grounds they held that the con tract was void. The first was, that by an agreement made subsequently to the issue of the prospectus, but prior to the application for the shares, the liability of the contractors fur the 2i per cent. interest had been limited to 20,0001. The second was, that the 9 per cent, interest guaranteed by the Venezuelan Government was subject to the condition that it should not be paid if the company, by any fault of its own, failed to earn so much. In the House of Lords, however, while the de cision of the court below was upheld in the result, a certain difference was made in the principles on which it was left to rest. The House held that the statement that the contract had been entered into with a responsible contractor, when in point of fact it appeared that he had been unable to pay up shares which had been allotted to him, and that he became insolvent within four months after signing the contract, was deceptive, since the directors ought to have known that such a man had not the means of even commencing the works. They next ruled that the omission of any reference to the 50,000 f. paid to the concessionaires was an im proper suppression of a material fact. Then they decided that the statement that the contract was considerably within the available capital, while in point of fact it was for only a part of the line, and left a wholly inadequate margin of capital for the rest, " was calculated, if not in. " tended, to deceive the public." Finally, they agreed with the Lords Justices that the suppression of any notice of the con tractors undertaking to pay 24 per cent, being limited to 20,0001., was designed for the purpose of deception. On all these points they laid it down that, though the plaintiff might have ascer tained the truth by inquiry, he was not to be de barred from his remedy by his failure to inquire. When once it was established that there had been fraudidnt misrepresentation or concealment inducing to a contract, the demand to have it annulled was not to be answered by the assertion that a nt..re carcit.l tui the truth. ,re elicited The ease is so far one of special circumstances that it will, perhaps, not be very freipiently available for an exact precedent b;• ‘..liich to decide others. And the difference of oi between such high authorities as the Louis Justices and the House of Lords shows that in regard to each particular transaction there will often be room for dispute whether it falls on one side or the other of the line of legal honesty. But the value of the ea.ie lies in the breadth of the principles *tilde(' rder to arrive at the decision. By the S:ipreine Court of Appeal, the rule stated by Vice-Chancellor Kisroeitstry was distinctly accepted. This lays down that the framers of a prospectus "ought to state everything with " strict and scrupulous accuracy, and not " only to abstain from stating as fact that which " is not so, but to omit no one fact within their " knowledge the existence of which might in any " degree affect the nature, or extent, or quality of " the privileges and advantages which the pro " spectus holds out as au inducement to take " shares." This is at least a very clear rule of action for all who have honest intentions. Thome who desire to sail as near the law as they can may still find it vague enough to allow liolbt whether any particular statement or suppression is so far at once dishonest and material as to vitiate the whole transaction. But the really new point oda- Milled in the present instance, that the poasibility of discovering such inaccuracy by inquiry is not sufficient to justify it, clears away at least one resource of subterfuge. lt may make applicants more reckless, but it ought at least to make direc tors more cautious. And betsvem those whose business it is to know and to state the truth, and those whom only prudence counsels to inquire, there is a very plain and wide distinction, which the law, as now ascertained, justly recognises. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE NATIONAL DEBT HILL. The adoption of the National Debt Bill by the House of Commons last night, is described by the Times as a victory won by Mr. Gladstone, to whom are alike due the idea of applying part of the surplus towards the re ducat's' of the national debt, and the machinery for carryiLz out the idea. There is, indeed, no obliga tion requiring us to pay on any of the national debt, and the policy of redemption must be de termined by a comparison of the efforts which the alternative courses of remitting taxation and paying off debt produce. Confined within the narrow limits proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the policy of applying a surplus towards the reduction seems to the Taegu indis putable, and the propriety of the method adopted is still lees open to doubt. If troubles come, if a deficiency arise, if loans be necessary, the resolution may at any moment be rescinded. The contract is between the right band and the left, and the power which enacted it can undo it. Meanwhile, there appears among the annual claims on the nation a charge of • million, and a Pun which might be otherwise 'a subject of contention is withdrawn from the too greedy gate of the House of Commons. The Port cordially supports the bill of the government, and the Star congratulates its readers upon the conjunction of authorities on this sub;ect, as it is most desirable that the moral sanction which has lately been so strongly urged upon the public mind in favour of national honesty should be supported by a concurrence of practical men in measures by which, even in a small degree. that bi•h. toned financial policy may be carried out. While approving of the bill, the Telegraph thinks that Mr. Leine, who opposed it, did, nevertheless, good service by fixing the attention of the house and the country on the many blots in our fiscal arrangements that have yet to be remedied. The duties on such articles as sugar might be reduced with advantage to the revenue as well as to the consumer. The licence duties on trading, a barbarous and antiquated form of impost, await abolition, and the mileage duties demand modification in connexion with that railway reform which is the want of the day. The duty on corn, to which Mr. Gladstone called attention, must be abolished, not only because it is a tax on the necessaries of life, but because it restricts what might prove an important branch of commerce.

Colonel Poosonby was in attendance on horst hack. Her Majesty and Prince•. Beatrice walked and rode on ponies in the grounds this morning, attended by the Coun tess of Caledon.

The Prince of Wales and suite visited the Palace of the Universal Exhibition on Wednesday, arriving • little before 2 o'clock. The prince was accompanied by hie brother, the Duke of Edinburgh. So minutely do the French register in their newspapers the movements of illustrious personages that we find in the " Programme Quotidien de l'Exposition Universeffe," published under the authority of the Imperial Commission, of the date of Wednesday, the 13th, the following paragraph :—" The very pretty flower girl who borers about in the Restau rant Goueset, having been remarked by a foreign royal highness, now a guest in Paris, the young lady in question offered to plant a rose in the button-hole of his coat, whereupon a fussy personage advanced and said, in very indifferent French—' Prenez-y garde, c'est lc Prince de —." Eh hien,' ' one femme ne doit pas lai faire pear.' Non, Rana doute, ma belle enfant,' dit le prince, quand elle • votre gentillesse.' " La Liberte says :—" On Sunday last the Prince of Wales honoured with his presence the theatre of the Folies-Mari4ny. The day before yesterday his royal high ness witnessed a performance at the Varieties, on which occasion he was accompanied by the Duchess of Man chester and the Marchioness de Galliffet." The Prince of Wales's Theatre was honoured last evening by the presence of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh-Strelitz, Prince Adol phus of Mecklenburgh-Strelits, the Marchioness of Ely, Lady Marion Loftus, and Lord Hamilton. Ills Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Marquis of Aberoorn, arm ved at Chesterfield House on Wednesday from Dublin. Sir John Lister-Kaye has left his residence in Cromwell-rosd for Ballyheigue Cootie, County Kerry. X I SCELLANEOVI4 Toricm. Referring to the fresh campaign of reform which has opened, the Daily New observes that the government bill, by introducing arrangements which exceed in positive evil all the perils to which non-enfranchisement exposed us before, makes further agitation an urgent duty. Much of the mischief is irrevocable in the present session, but there are still points on which an expression of public opinion may be serviceable. To such of the fancy franchises as are of an educational character there can he no objection, but the savings bank and direct tax franchises are chiefly remarkable for their facility of being armies, and toe esta blishment of the lodger suffrage ought to serve as • barrier against the insidious claims made in their behalf. The proposal of voting papers saves trouble undoubtedly, but it would at the same time enable the screw to be put on tighter than it has ever yet been. The dependent voter has at present some support from public opinion when he goes no to the poll. but the voting paper will re move all defences. The election agent, or the landlord's agent, will go round with the papers in his pocket, and see each man sign under his own eye. Discussing the three bills which were glanced at last night, embodying the scheme of General Peel for the re inforcement of the army, the Tines urges that the House of Commons may indirectly do much to restore the popu larity of the service, not only by raising the rate of pay, but, still more effectually, by a more intelligent regard for whatever concerns the comfort of the private soldier, by grappling with the moral evils which make parents of ' the humblest class regard enlistment as ruin, and by an increased readiness to profit by all that is valuable in the experience of foreign nations. In the meantime the measures of the government will certainly fail to satisfy those who insist upon a comprehensive plan of army re form. They are not framed to realise any such ideal, and aim, in fact, at little more than • development of existing machinery. The Telegraph gives all credit to Mr. Thomas Hughes for his excellent intentions, but maintains that the subject of Sunday trading is not one within the fair purview of legislation—that it is a matter of social morals, to be ad justed by the progress of education, rather than Ito be arbitrarily determined by an act of parliament. Defending Lord Lyttelton's bill for the extension of the episcopate, the Post urges that it is simply persuasive, and at the same time asks the state for nothing. It is as ungracioas to grudge the proposed increase of the episco pate as it is unreasonable. The money required is to be subscribed by laymen and members of the church generally, who may be supposed to know what they are about, and are not likely to raise many hundred thousand pounds to supply a want which they do not feel. It is to be hoped that the good sense of both houses will pass this bill. The liberality of the public may be relied upon to do the rest. The following members composed the minority who voted last night against the National Debt Bill : Messrs. R. S. Aytoun, C. R. Barry, J. A. Blake, C. S. Butler, C. R. Colville, J. Cowen, R. J.

KING's CoLLzoz. —The distribution of prizes to the pupils connected with the department of the evening classes took place last evening, under the presidency of the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. There was a large attendance of the members and their friends. The Rev. Dr. Jell, the principal, stated that the subjects in which instruction had been given in the evenin g classes were no less than 30 in number. In the institution the members had the benefit of an instructional as well as an examining body, and as proof of the advantages of the university training thus given he was happy to say that many of the members had obtained honours at Oxford and Cambridge. He expatiated on the advantages to be gained by the young men who, after their business hours, availed of the instruction imparted in this department of the college, and said that a stratum of society which had been hitherto neglected had thus been reached. The Rev. Mr. Plumtree, the chaplain, read the list of those to whom prizes and certificates of merit were awarded, and which his lordship proceeded to distribute. In divinity, three certificates of honour, three prizes, and 38 certificates of merit were bestowed ; in Latin, three certificates of honour. 2.1 certificates of merit, and three prises ; in Greek, four certificates of honour, 13 certificates of merit, and two prizes ; in French, two certificates of honour, 45 certificates of merit, and six prizes; in German, two certificates of honour. 15 certificates of merit, and four prizes ; in mathematics, 23 certificates of merit and five prizes ; in law, one certificate of honour and six certificates of merit ; in mechanics, one prize and eight certificates of merit; in chemistry, one prize and six certificates of merit ; in drawing, two prizes (including a professor's prize), one certificate of honour, and four certificates of merit ; in the principl,s of commerce, one prize and five certificates of merit.

There is important news to-day of the resistance which the Emperor's scheme for augmenting the army meets with in the Corps Legielatif. The Sikle, whose director, it must be remembered, is M. Ravin, the deputy, says : We mention under all reserve a rumour current yester day evening that a serious difference had arisen between the government and the committee of the Corps Legishair charged to consider the bill on the reorganisation of the army. The committee wished to fix the normal figure of the army (active and reserve included) at 800,000 men as a maximum ; the government would not consent to this, alleging that since the Corps Legislatif maintained the right to vote the contingent annually, it might always diminish or augment the number according to circum stances. After a long discussion the government and the committee both persisting in their opinion, the committee has determined to report purely and simply against the government bill. The France of this evening says that, after having come to an agreement on many points, there was an irreconcilable difference between the government and the committee upon others. It was predicted from the first that the iron roof of the Universal Exhibition Palace would not prove watertight in every part, and that serious damage would be done in time of heavy rain ti some of the products exhibited. This prophecy seems to have been fulfilled. M. Deville, • French exhibitor, has appeared as a plaintiff in a court of law this week to complain that a beautiful silk bed, style Louis XIII. , valued at 6001. , was soaked through and through by rain and completely spoiled on April 29. He alleges that he several times warned the Imperial Commission that there was danger of wet pene trating to his goods, and was only induced to ex hibit his bed by repeated assurances that the place assigned to him was perfectly safe. Under these circumstances he contends that the commission is liable to indemnify him. The court ordered a reference to experts to inquire and report as to the amount of damage done and the cause of it. The Pays mentions, hoping it may be contra dicted, a rumour that the Pacha of Egypt having sent over a quantity of coffee and Eastern liqueurs to be distributed gratis to visitors to the Egyptian caravansary in the Champs de Mars, the commis sion interdicted the largesse on the ground that it constituted an unfair competition with the cafes and restaurants which had paid for the privilege of selling refreshments. I believe there can be no doubt of the fact of the gratis distribution of coffee, for I rest; an account of it from a surprised chronicler of a French paper, some time ago. The Pays thinks the interdiction by authority of the Pacha of Egypt's munificence is carrying a great deal too far the spirit of mercantilism, already much complained of, which has pervaded the direction of this International Exhibition. The Prince of Wales is terribly " mobbed " by curious EngliYh when he visits the concentric circles in the Champs de Mars. The Arenir National publishes the following telegram : Berlin, May 16. The King of Prussia will go to Paris on Monday next. The Czar will accompany, or perhaps join him. If Prince Gortohakoff comes, Count de Bismarck will come also. This news differs from that hitherto taken for granted, that the King and the Czar would not come till June.

Two turnkeys have been dismissed from Long ford gaol as the malt of an investigation into their con duct relative to the Fenian prisoners. A four-horse stage coach conveyance has been established between Taunton and WO. Ilion, on Saturdays, in oonaequence of the high railway passenger fare between the two places. The fare by coach is leas than by rail, and the coach arrives earlier than the train. The King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Italy are expected in Paris early in June. M. Duruy, Minister of Public Instruction, is pursuing in the north of France his inspection of scholastic establishments. During the last week he has visited Boulogne, Calais, St. Omer, Dunkirk, tfasebrouck, Lille, Valenciennes, Douai, and Arras. A letter from Ostend says :—" The King of Prussia has engaged apartments in this town, where he means to spend a part of the bathing season. His Majesty is expected to arrive after his excursion to Paris. It is also considered certain that the Queen of Wurtemberg, who made a long stay here in 1/466, will return this ye►r." " The clergy of the cathedral at Milan," says the Lombardia, " arc in consternation. A valuable necklace, with a double row of pearls, has just been stolen from the neck of the Virgin called dell' albero. Who can be the thief? The affair remains a mystery." The ladies of Copenhagen have formed a com mittee to collect diamonds ►nd jewels from all those who are willing to wake a aacrifice of them in order to assist the Danes wbo have left Schleswig in consequence of the conduct of the Prussian authorities. Nearly 1,500 heads of families have been compelled to leave for refusing to take the oath to the King of Prussia. A letter from Biarritz states that Marshal O'Donnell has just hired at that place for six months the residence of General Stratton, an Englishman. The Committee of the International Chess Con gress in Paris has fixed the date of opening the tournament for Saturday, the lit June, and of the handicap for the 6tb. Competitors for either can enter their names until the 28th May inclusively. Several foreigners of distinc tion have been lately added to the members of the com mittee. A letter front Beaucairo says :—" A large number of the inhabitants of this town were out on the 12th on the banks of the Rhone, awaiting the passage of the pleasure-yacht of the Bey of Tunis on its way to the Paris Exhibition. Towards 1 in the afternoon ► black smoke was perceived down the river, and soon after the Missis sippi came in sight, towing the expected vessel ; but curiosity was greatly disappointed, as the boat was en veloped in canvas from the deck to the water-line. " The largest topaz known," says the Moniteur, " was yesterday deposited at the Bank of France. It is of Brazilian origin, and measures 7gin. in length by Odin. in width, and about the same in thickness. It weighs more than 31lbs. However valuable this stone may be from its brilliancy and size, it is still more so from its artistic merit, as on one face is engraved a half-length Christ breaking bread at the Last Supper. This composi tion was executed with the burin and diamond dust by the owner of the gem, Andre Cariello, formerly director of the Naples Mint." The e Intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, in Australia, closed in February. It lasted four months. The number of visitors was 270,440. The average daily attendance was 2,360. The total receipts for admission amounted to 9,60 W. PROCLAMATION OF OM AR PACHA TO THE CRETANS. —lntelligence from Candia states that Omar Pacha issued the following proclamation to the insurgents upon his arrival at Canes:—" Cretans—Our august sovereign has entrusted me with the mission of pacifying this unfor tunate Wand. I come, therefore, to you with paternal intentions. His Majesty's long suffering is very great, but hie anger is also formidable. I speak to you of both, and paternally advise you to avert his wrath, and trust in his clemency if you really desire the welfare of your country. Secret societies have succeeded in troubling order in this country and in destroying its prosperity, by sending into it foreigners to keep up the agitation by which they profit, and by making you false and chimerical promises. You have seen clearly for some months past that the foreigners still in your island are playing upon your cre dulity ; they for their parts have nothing to lose. It is you who in your families and in your property suffer by these troubles. The foreign agitators will lay down their krill, at the first opportunity that may present itaelf, and will ask leave to return to their country, or they will find means to go there secretly, as they have done already. The past sufficiently proves the entire exactitude of my state ments. No inhabitant—either Mussulman or Christian— is entitled to avenge his wrongs in person, or to constitute himself • judge in his own cause. The right of doing justice belongs only to the government, which will conscientiously fulfil that sacred minion. Whoever shall venture to contravene its orders upon this point will be punished exemplarily. Every vile that shall declare its willingness to make its submission and to follow this advice, and which subsequently, contrary to its promise, shall keep up relations with the insurgent., will force us to apply to it martial law and to make use of reprisals, which Ido not desire. I warn you, there fore, and call upon you not to force me to have recourse to these extreme measures, for it would be very painful to apply to you against ley wish that terrible right of war. Follow with confidence the paternal advice I now give you, and be persuaded that you will not have to re pent it, for I have nothing so much at heart est* contri bute to your welfare and prosperity ; and I shall esteem myself happy to find you disposed to profit by my kindly intentions.—(Signed)-011a PACHA."

The recent de. visions of the House of Lords in the case of the Mersey Docks, and the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of th e British Orphan Asylum, to the effect that all buildings of a " charitable or eleemosynary character" must be rat e d to the relief of the poor ; and the almost immediate sus s . meat by the parochial authorities of schools, hoepitai s, and other similar institutions in London, Ifirnapo w and Worcester, raised a strung feeling of oppceition to th e new interpretation of the law. Meetings were accordi s e y held in various parts of the country, and the pni e tk e l issue was the deputation of yesterday. It numbered oc K 100, and included representatives from Ifin u i pt d ua, Bristol, Brighton, Carlisle, Dorchester, WoreakT, Manchester, Gateshead Gloucester, H e rtford, H e t Ipswich, aioester, Newcutle Northampton, Sake.bury, Stafford, Southampton, Shrewsbury, Wiachea“ , and Wolverhampton.

Mr. Arthur), Mr. Keeling, and y t Knight. Each gentleman cited instances of Cie injuri es ;, consequences that would follow the rating of chantaid e as stitutions, and a memorial prepared by the Itiniiisj ue committee, and adopted by the representatives from ed., towns, was presented to the Premier as expounding tie r views and wishes. The main points insisted span sees that these charitable institutions, by being rated, aka:: be suddenly deprived of en exemption which they he, always enjoyed, and which, from the passing of the on. gloat poordaw (4.1 KILL, cap. 2), has been held to he the true construction of the statutes upon the matter, .t that unless the imposition be removed many school.. pitals, and dispensaries must be either extinguisliel et their beneficial operations largely diminished. The soil, earl who introduced the deputation particularly * k w out how the Ragged School movement would suffer: al the bon. member for Leeds characterised the practical effect of the decisions complained of as "oppression of the ▪ - - Lard DICHRY (who had previously rnrrected one of the epeakers when he spoke of the decisions as " lm thanked the deputation for their attendance and for thir statements. Those statements he had listened to not call on account of the high respectability of the meeting. List also because of the intrinsic importance of the subject th n had brought before his notice. In his judgment a stm t { prised/stir case had been made out. (Cheers.) Of cosec he was not expected on an occasion like this to say wore He would however, take care that at the earliest ti me t h e question should be brought under the notice of his col. leagues. The attention of the government would be pi n to it, and if they found that consistently with their deg they could afford the charitable institutions of the normal the desired relief, nothing would give him greater satitho Lion.

Itionrs.—The annual debate of the ruiversity Col 4 Debating Society took place on Wednesday evening 64 in the botanical theatre of the college, in the press" ' a large audienoe, more than half of whom were ladle' Professor Fawcett, /LP., presided. The subject f 4 bate was, "Ought sex to be a disqualification fu exercise of the franchise?" After an animated discos" in which no lady could be prevailed upon to learned gentleman presiding rose, and in the coura ,4 ..' remarks said :—" Admitting that women are not 01"' men—l do not admit it—you can't deny that their leges are at least equal to throe to whom the franchm .. 4 to be given. Again I ask, why should men molt". that the power of voting rests entirely in IL . : hands; that the sending representatives to belongs to them exclusively? To me it seems 0 *! would be a very difficult task for them to justiff u t. " assuming to themselves to decide what is belt for at. tion. HIR , I woman no interest in the matter! Is little consequence to her who are to make the law•g" administer public affairs? It has been said that rehi , l has caused discord in families, and would we oes!!?: politics, and set the father against the mother. and son against the daughter? I say that religimr. dol. ral have caused more discord than political ever would. yet is there a law to say that a protestant man 11 1 7 marry a catholic woman The whole question as oft , ' woman is one of self-interest—one in which the o v should not interfere. Again, we must look at the elfrl it would have upon her character. It w ould inst." has been stated, destroy her womanly ausli t° ,,: but, on the contrary, I believe the more *". 3 *: - . interests herself in the affairs of the state aw l or vs; world the better she becomes. People some times •rti; you admit woman to have a vote, you ought to to parliament. This, however, is not the question .• us, but it should not frighten us. Self-inters“ be the guide, and if a constituency thought that OP . knew a woman who would represent them in pat l is ,i better than any man would, I can't see whyslx' ,f,: not be parsed to say that they should choose that 'mo n . We should treat men and women as if they wen' N n judges of their own welfare than the state. If not kept in view, we shall not have individual leTi . but the state telling us bow we are to act is this mr:, how in that, how we are to live."
