THE SALE OF LAND BY AUCTION BILL. The house went again into oommittee on this bill, and the datums were agreed to. POOR PERSONS' BURIAL (IRELAND) BILL. Sri BELMORE moved the second reading of this which he said was sent up from the Commons, and the ob ject of which was to enable boards of guardians to provide coffins for poor deceased persons whose relations were un able to do so. After a few words from the Marquis of CLeerticsunt, The Mil was read a second time. Their lordships adjourned at six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —TH 0113 DAY, Arm 26. The house met at 4 o'clock. NEW WINDSOR ELECTION. Mr. HIBBILET reported from the above election oom• satire that Sir H. A. Hoare and Mr. H. Labouchere were not duly elected, and that the election was a void election. DAUNTS ROOK. In answer to Mr. DI somas, Er. M. OIBBON said his attention had not recently been called to the fact that the wreck of the City of New York still remained on Daunt's Rook. He believed it was mentioned upwards of a year ago by a deputation. The damage to the brig laden with sugar in June last had not been officially reported to the Board of Trade. Having conealted with the nautical adviser of the board, it arr est there was some light addition to the danger° , trudrigation from the wreck of the City of New York being allowed to remain on the rook. Whether the owners could be compelled to remove the wreck was very doubt ful. It had never been held to be the ditty of the Board of Trade or of the Trinity Corporation to remove wrecks, but the question had been under their consideration whether some measure might cot be advantageously in **dimmed to compel owners to undertake the removal where the position of the vessel was dangerous to naviga tion. CRIJD.OH RAM. Lord J. MANNERS asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether be had prepamd amendments to the bill for the abolition of &unlit - atm, and, if so, when he pro posed to lay them upon the table of the house? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said elaines Lad been prepared for the purpose of embodying in aformal shape the suggestions ho had presumed to lay before the house in an informal manner in speaking on the second reading of the Church Rates Bill—(hear, hear)—but he should wish to have a few daps more in order to collider what prospect there might be of obtaining a useful purpose by the introduction of those clauses as a government measure, either in the form of clauses or of a bill, which ever appeared the more convenient. He hoped on Mon. day to be able to eve a final answer to the question, and as the bill stood for Wednesday week, that would, he hoped, be ample time. (Hear, hear.) Hr. BRIGHT—Have the clauses been prepared in con sultation with the hoes member for Bury St. Edmund', or are they purely an arrangement the government propose to o ff er to the house, without reference to the mover of the bill! The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—My first duty was to endeavour to have these clauses put into the best form they would admit of, and then submit them to my colleagues. I should certainly wish to have the opi nion of the bon. member for Bury St. Edmunds before committing myself to any step with regard to them. (Hear, hear.) TUNNEL UNDER OLD ST. PANCRAS CHURCH. YARD. In answer to Mr. liaoSeoY, Sir G. GREY said the Midland Railway Company under their act of parliament had undertaken not to cut through the churchyard, but to tunnel 12 feet below it. DOCKYARD ELECTORS AND THE REFORM BILL Mr. FERRAND asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would pledge himself to withdraw the 16th clause, disfranchising the dockyard electors, in the event of the Repre sentation of the People Bill being read a second time ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am sorry to be obliged to apply in this instance a rule which it has been found neceasary to apply in others. I think it would be premature, and would only lead to inconvenience and confusion, if at this time, before the second reading of the Franchise Bill, I were to give any answer with respect to particular clauses. (Hear, hear.) But there is the leas occasion for doing so in this particular instance, because two hon. members, if I am not mistaken, the hon. member for Portsmouth and the hon. member for Chatham have both been so far beforehand with the hon. gentleman, that they have given notice to raise this question at • very early stage. lam extremely glad, however, to infer from the question of the hon. gentleman, what appears to be the natural construction of it, that if we would withdraw that clause, he would have no remaining objection to vote for the second reading of the bill. (Laughter.) THE OYSTER FISHERIES. Mr. S. CAVE asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it was true that the Customs authorities of New Shoreham had strict orders to seise and destroy all oysters brought into that port from the deep sea beds between the 30th April and Ist September, but that no such orders had been issued in respect of ports north of the North Foreland; and that in fact oysters taken from the same beds were landed at those ports during the above period ; if so, on what principle this distinction was made, as the words of the act 18 and 19 Vic. e. 101, s. 2, empowered officers of the Customs to seize " any oysters imported into or landed in any port of the United Kingdom." Mr. M. GIBSON said it was true that order had been given to enforce the act of parliament in regard to the im portation of oysters into Shoreham during the close months, but no distinction had been made between Shore ham and any other ports in the United Kingdom. No dis tinction had been made between porta on either side of the North Foreland. The order was that the act 18 and 19 Victoria, rep. 101, should be enforced which required anent of the Customs to seise any oysters taken between the United Kingdom and France imported and landed in any port of the United Kingdom between the Ist of May and the lit of September. THE HARDEN PETITION. In answer to Mr. FLRRAND, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained, that the words " and if not by whom end" were omitted from the motion for the select committee in order that the inquiry should extend to the question whether any improper means had been used to compel or induce persons to affix their sig natures. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. In reply to Mr. H. SEYMOUR, Mr. LAYARD said the government had every reason to believe th.t there was no truth in the report of a raid of Italian volunteers upon the Venetian provinces, nor were they aware that the Emperor had refused to receive Count Amme or Signor Venosta. RAILWAY DEBENTURE& In 'mewl to Mr. SCOURMELD, Mr. M. GIBSON stated that it was the intention of the government to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to securities issued by railway companies, and that he pro- posed to gise the notice on Monday. THE BUDGET. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I wish to give notic:. as I think it may be said to be understood in the house generallynow that the debate on the second read ing of th , . Representation of the People Bill is to terminate to-morrow evening—(cries of " Hear, hear")—upon that supposition I wish to give notice that on Thursday next, this day week, I shall propose in committee of Ways and Means the ...usual financial statement. (Cheers.) THE REFORM BILL The order of the day for the resumption of the adjourned debate on the motion for the second reading of the Repre sentation of the People Bill hawing been read, Mr. LowE observed that, as the house was considering the principle of the bill, it was not inopportune to ask what the principle was. Upon that point their informa tion was at present very meagre. The President of the the Board of Trade had told them that it was to reduce the franchise, whilst the Solicitor-General for Scotland said it was to fill up two blanks in the bill with certain figures which the house was to supply. So that the views imparted to the house were rather of a shady and colourless character. He submitted that neither explanation answered the question, because the prin ciple of the bill was the ground or reason on which it was based ; and in reference to that the govern ment had been entirely silent. The fact was, there were only two grounds upon which the bill could be justified— the first was, that the franchise should be given for its own sake—and secondly, as a means for obtaining ulterior objects. Which, then, was the real • 'pie? He held that in conferring the franchise regard should be had not only to the fitness of the person, but to the influence which he might exercise over the well-being of the com munity, and that are should be taken that the franchise was given so that no one class should swamp the others. If he could ascertain what the bill would do, what were the number of people to be enfranchised by it, and how their numbers were to be distributed, be should then get data from which he could argue as to what was its principle. But here he was met with a difficulty which was created by the government themselves, and this was, that it was impossible for him to rrp;*, FO_C,FII,FIS§ r . FRUMT,-, I ifaV : ENIN9 r % APRIL 2Z, 1866. I pitie hievete by-referee/ft either to the bar of pestle who were to have the frsnchise or to the manner in winds they would be distributed. Alluding to the steps by ' winch the government had proceeded from the introduc tion of the franchise bill down to the present moment, he owned he had never witnessed conduct on the part of any government which was so utterly irra tional. Although they withheld the information which was neceauty to enable the house to form an opinion they nevertheless insisted upon their voting for the seesare. As far an he could understand, this information was kept back from mere wanton ness, with the purpose of seeing whether the House of Commons could not be made to pass under the yoke. Look at the languor which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had used at Liverpool, when he said that he knew the sort of people whom he had to deal with. What did that mean but that the House of Commons at large were better known than trusted ? Why the very object orte: putting their bill and their own existence as a government in peril was to humiliate and degrade the house in tl a of the country. He bad heard that one more con e was to be offered the house. If they would only vote the sesond reading of the bill in the dark to please the Chancellor of the Exchequer, then he would under take that the two measures respecting the franchise end the redistribution of seta should go into committee and proceed part passu, and that one should not pass without the other. That course might remove some objections ; but it would not show that the hoosewere treated properly by the government, or that they were doing their duty to the country or adios worthy of their own dignity, and it would not remove any of the solid objections to the course that had been ad opt ed. It:seemed to him that on the clearest grounds of self-respect and honour the house ought never to allow a government to attempt anything of the kind. As to the effect of the bill, if it were passed, he had no doubt that its immediate effect would be to transfer the election of the majority of the representatives for the boroughs in England and Wales to the working classes. Adverting once more to the treatment of the house by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lows declared that the house had throughout been treated more like condemned criminals than " friends in council." The right hon. gentleman ought to have given his reasons for br i nging in the bill to the house in the first instance, instead of going down to Liverpool, dating them at the Philharmonic Hall, and then coming back to the House of Commons and giving them a languid reehauffe on the mooed reading. Referring to the argument of the Chancellor of the Exchequer founded upon the theory of the working classes being their fellow Christians and their own flesh and blood, he observed that there was not a person in the country who would not "profess and call himself Christian." That, therefore, was an argument for the admission of persons of both sexes to the franchise. And as to the " fiesh-and-blood argument, that might be used for constituting a per liament of beasts. In short, the bill was not founded on calculated results, but on • broad sweeping principle, originating in the doctrine of the rights of man, which, if it meant anything, meant uni versal suffrage. He inferred, from the sweeping nature of the bill, from the manner in which it had been forced on the house, the treatment the house had received, and the arguments by which the bill had been supported, that it was founded upon the principle that the franchise was due to everyone whom they could show was fit for it, and that the house were bound to shut their eyes to all conse quences, disregard all considerations of expediency, and leave the constituencies so appointed to take care of them selves. Anything more dangerous than this could not be conceived. The right hon. member then proceeded to reply to the argument of Mr. Mill that the working dames were not diffidently represented in the Commons, and quoted passages from the writings of that gentleman in 1862 and 1860 to show that he then considered those classes not sufficiently educated to be invested with the franchise. He pointed out danger, as he conceived, arising from the power of the working classes to com bine for the accomplishment of their objects, and the ease with which trades' unions might be converted into political organisations. Trades' unions were far more unions against the best, most skilful, industrious, and capable of the men themselves than against the masters. They made war upm all superiority, skilled industry, and capacity, and made them the slaves of clumsiness, idleness, and ignorance. And see what a tremendous machinery they would have in them, if they only allowed them to possess the one thing they wanted—the parliamentary vote. Adopt this bill and there was no saying where they would stop in the downward direction of democracy. The remainder of the right hon. gentleman's speech was a die. sertation on the evil of democracy ; amongst which he enu merated bankrupt representatives, the profession of politics as a List resource when every other had failed, a ispoel tion to war, opposition to free trade and the concentration of power. He shadowed out the results of democratizing our Constitution on such questions as the church establish ment, an hereditary peerage, and the character of the House of Commons, maintaining on this last point that it differed from the Assemblies of France and the United States, elected by universal suffrage, and that it would be necessary to separate the functions of the executive from its present close connexion with the House of Commons. In an argument appealing to the example of Australia and the United States, and quoting from various speeches of Mr. Bright, he attempted to show how unfit this country was for democracy, and how, in process of time, it would sweep away all our existing in stitutions, such as the aristocracy and the bench, to re place them by others more representative, and conse quently more dependent on the people, and would ultimately leave the monarch face to face with a democratic assembly. It seems to me (added the honourable gentleman) that we have more reason every day we live to regret the loss of Lord Palmer ston. (Opposition cheers.) By way of a mortuary oon tribution it seems to me that the remaining members of his cabinet laid in his grave all their moderation, all their prudence, and all their statesmanship. He was scarcely interred before they set to work to contravene and coun teract his policy. Because it had been his policy—the policy of a man who understood the people of England and bad achieved unexampled success, they thought that the way to continue that success was entirely to reverse his policy. And so before he was hardly cold in his grave they set to work to do the very thing of all others that if he had been living he would have disapproved. Well, they have done a great feat. The right hon. gentleman and the noble lord at the head of the government have performed an immense exploit ; they have carried the great mass of their party, men of moderate opinions and views—they have carried them over from their own views and laid them at the feet of the hon. member for Birmingham. (Loud opposition cheers.) They are brought into contact now with men and principles from which six months ago they would have recoiled. (" No," and oppo sition cheers.) That is what has happened to part of them. The rest of us are left like sheep in the wilderness. And after the success of this extraordinary combination—for I can give it no other name—we who remain where we were are charged with being conspirators and traitors. The bonds of party allegiance are strained till they are ready to crack, in order to keep the party together, and we are told that we are bound by every tie to act according to the policy of Lord Russell. I dispute that. I never served under him. I have served, unfortunately, for a little less than ten years under two prime ministers, one being Lord Aberdeen and the other Lord Palmerton. Both those governments Lord Russell joined ; both those governments he abandoned, and both those governments he assisted to destroy. I owe him no allegiance. lam not afraid of the people of this country ; they have shown remarkable good sense, remarkable indeed in contrast with the harangues that have been addressed to them. (Opposition cheers.) Nor am I afraid of those who lead them ; and here I differ from my right hon. and gallant friend the member for Huntingdon. Demagogues are the commonplaces of history ; they are found everywhere where there is popular commotion. They have all a family likeness-(opposition cheers)—their names float lightly on the stream of time ; they finally contrive to be handed down somehow, but they are as little to be regarded for themselves as the foam which rides on the top of the stormy wave and bespatters the rock which it cannot shake. (Opposition cheers.) But what I do fear, what fills me with the gloomiest misgivings, is when I ace a number of gentlemen of rank, property, and intelli gence carried away without even being convinced or even over-persuaded to support a policy which many of them in their hearts detest and abhor. Monarchies exist by loyalty, aristocracies by honour, popular assemblies by political virtue. When these things begin to fail it is in their loss, and not in comets, eclipses, And earthquakes, that we are to look for the portents that herald the fall of states. I have said that I am utterly unable to reason with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but happily there is one common ground left to us, which is the second book of the ffineid. My right hon. friend returned again to the poor old Trojan horse. I will add one more excerpt to the story of that noble animal, after which I will pro mise to turn him out to grass for the remainder of his life. (A laugh.) The which I wish to call his attention to presents a etch of the army, and not only of the army, but of the general also Arduus armies medils in nwentbus means Pundit equal', victorque Boon incendia miscet pons : po' aid bipatentibus adsunt, ?Ma quot maguls imminent sclera Mrcenla. The fatal horse pours forth the human tide, Insulting ninon flings his firebrands wide: The gates are burst the ancient rampart falls And swarming myriads climb its crumbling walla. (Cheers.) I have now, sir, traced as well as I could what I believe would be the natural results of a measure which seems to my poor imagination destined to absorb and destroy one after the other those institutions which have made England what she has hitherto been, and what I believe no other country ever was, or ever will be. Surely the heroic work of so many centuries, the matchless achievements of so many wise heads and strong bands deserve a nobler consummation than to be ' menfieed to revolutionary psasion,or to the maudlin enthu siasm of humanity. But if we do fall, we shall fall deser vedly' if unconstrained by any external force, not beaten down by any intestine calamity, in the plethora of wealth and the surfeit of our too exuberant prosperity, we are about, with our own nab and unconstrained bands, to pluck down on our own heads the venerable temple of our own liberty and our law. History may record other mess as signal and an disastrous, but none more wanton and more disgraceful. (Loud opposition cheers.) Mr. HODGICINSON (whose opening sentences were lost in the noise made by members leaving the house) said the amendment seemed to be cunningly devised to catch waters, sad to wigs those who ware lukewarm ht their - - - allegiance to break the word of promise to the hope and keep it to the ear. Bat he warned hon. reembem that though they might delude themselves, they would not de hide others. They were asked to affirm the principle of ea extension of the suffrage by giving to this bill a second reading. Hon. memben opposite did not like the bill, nor did they like any bill of this nature ; and yet they were afraid to meet the question with a direct negative. Mr. YORKE thought the house might content itself with the defence which bad been offered for it by the right hoe. gentian= the member for Caine. Mr. LEMAN described the amendment as an attempt to shunt the question of reform from a main line to a siding somewhere between Chester and King's Lynn. He was old enough to remember the speeches made in parlia ment upon the Reform Bill of 1832, and he could not help remarking their striking similarity to the arguments of the right hon. member for Caine. Such was the lan guage of the Evelyne and the Winchelsesa with respect to the 101. suffrage, and the house was told that to pass that bill was the next thing to sweeping away the church end state and the house in one general ruin ; and a similar picture the dangerous faculty of imagination had enabled Mr. Lowe to draw now. The bill would not have the effect of admitting to the exercise of the franchise the idlers and loiterers in the Seven Dials, the railwa navvies. the uneducated colliers and minces of Staff , or, in a word, any of that class which, in common parliamentary language, was designated as the dangerous class. On the contrary, it would admit the best of the skilled workman, men who had distinguished themselves by enormous ad vances in education, by vast ingenuity, by the most un shaken loyalty to the t hrone, by the greatest self-command under circumstances of deprivation and distreas—and, in point of fact, men who had they existed at the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832, would certainly have been en- franchised in one way or - another. Lord ROYSTON considered the present a mere attempt to retain the rainistryin office by the adoption of what they considered a popular cry, followed up by the introduction of a sham measure which the government never intended should be passed ; and he pointed to the fact of the de clension of the liberal majority of 60 to a minor ty as he believed would turn out to be the case, as a proof that the liberal party generally were quite aware of the deception which the government wanted to play off upon them. He confidently expressed his opinion that the bill would be lost on a division, and would do all he could to contribute to that result. Mr. ALLEN agreed with the right hon. member for Caine as to the admirable manner in which parliament was at present constituted, and he would go further and say it was the first representative assembly in the world. But what was the reason of that! It was bemuse in the main it represented the wishes and feelings of the people of this country. The great principle involved in the question of parliamentary reform was to adapt the House of Commons more fully to the wishes and feelings of the people, and therefore it was that he was prepared to support the present measure. He could only regard the amend ment of the noble lord the member for Chester as a plausible attempt once more to get rid of the question of reform. (Hear, hear.) Mr. D. BROMLEY thought that this question of reform bad been too long tossed about as the football of party. (Hear, hear.) Parliament was pledged to some measure of reform, and the principle of justice ought to be the first consideration in dealing with it. (Hear, hear.) If it were proved to be just and fair that a large borough constituency should overshadow a county constituency, he had no doubt many county members would be perfectly prepared to retire into that position of dignified insignifi cance which nature perhaps intended them to occupy. (Laughter.) He did not, however, consider this bill an honest one, and therefore, while he professed to be a most strenuous advocate for some good and comprehenaivescheme of reform, he strongly objected to the baptism of this ricketty political baby. (Laughter.) Mr. OnWAY was not surprised, from the acquaintance which the hon. member had had with the poor of the me tropolis, that he should feel that there was a necessity for a Reform Bill. (Hear, hear.) Now, the constituency which he (Mr. Otway) represented would be injuriously affected by this bill if the 16th clause should be retained, and consequently if the bill should be read a second time, and that clause not expunged in committee, he should strenuously oppose the third reading of the bill. (Oh, oh.) It was for the interest of the conservative party that this question of reform should be settled, and he could not understand why that party opposed the wishes of the people. (Hear.) The heart of the people was set upon a settlement of the question—(hear, hear)— and they would have their political rights. (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. W. DUFF said he should support the amendment of the noble lord the member for Chester. (Hear, hear.) He was sorry the government bad determined to treat the amendment as one of want of confidence, because that involved the breaking up of the liberal party or a sacrifice of independent convictions. (Hear, bear.) They came down to the house acknow ledging that they had not had time to frame a com plete measure,and they therefore introduced an incom plete one, on the principle that a bad reform bill was better than none at all. For five years he had been a consistent supporter of Lord Pslmerston's government, and if he were now acting in opposition to the opinions recorded by most of those with whom he bad been ammo dated, it was because he preferred hie own honest convic tions to following leaders to whom he had been proud to give a general support, but who on this particular subject had forfeited every claim to his confidence. (Hear.) Mr. E. JAMES said that he looked upon this bill being read a second time in no other light than that in which he regarded the amendment of Lord Russell to the Reform Bill of Lord Derby's government, simply as an assertion on the part of the house that a measure of reform was essential, and that there should be an extension of the franchise. Looking upon the matter in that point of view he should give the government his cordial support (Derisive cheers from the opposition benches.) In doing so he conceived he was fulfilling the pledges which he gave to his constituents. (" Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") He had pledged himself to support an extension of the franchise—(oh, oh)--but to watch that that extension should not be mischievous. In voting for the second reading of the bill, he stipulated for the right and freedom of opposing the measure—(" oh, oh" and laughter)—at any future stage, if the promised bill did not satisfy him that there would be an honest and fair re distribution of seats. His desire was to protect one class against the undue predominance of another, and he sin cerely hoped that the government, having already made considerable concessions to meet the views of their own friends—if this bill passed the second reading, as was most likely—(cheers and counter cheers)—would endeavour to render it more consistent with the true principles of re form by bringing in the bills which they had promised, or by inserting in the present bill such clauses as would make it • complete measure of reform. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SCHREIBER urged that the tendency of the mea sure would be to make the counties dependent on the charity of the towns, and give an enormous additional taxing power to those who did not contribute to direct taxation. To give a preponderance of power to such a class would soon stimulate them to raise the cry of "Down with the customs and excise, and up with the income tax." Mr. CHILDEBS, speaking from personal experience, explained the satisfactory working of democratic insti tutions in Victoria, a colony which he declared was inalienably attached to the British crown and con stitution. Observing upon the inconsistencies of Mr. Lowe, he read a number of extracts from speeches deli vered by the member for Caine containing sentiments similar to those which be had condemned as coming from Mr. Bright, and in which he lauded the example of America, and described the British parliament as "blind, ignorant, and besottedly stupid." The house might by an unnatural combination of parties place the government in • minority, but how, he asked, could the supporters of the amendment afterwards agree among themselves to improve their victory by carrying a comprehensive measure of reform! At midnight Lord CRANBORNE moved the adjourn ment of the debate. Captain VIVIAN protested against so early an adjourn ment, and reminded the house that during the debate on the corn laws it used to sit until 3 and 4 in the morn ing. He invited Lord Cranborne to make his speech at OnCe. Mr. ROUVERIE deprecated the idea of whole eovies of members rising in all parts of the house, and expecting to be allowed to make speeches. The CHANCELWII of the EXCHEQUER reminded the house that the government had not " put up " more than one speaker during the whole night. Mr. WA KIN suggested that the house should meet at 12 o'clock this day, but the proposition was not received with favour. After some discussion, which occupied sufficient time for the delivery of two or three speeches, the debate was adjourned until this day. THE PARLIAMENTARY OATHS AMENDMENT BILL Sir G. GREY moved that the lords' amendments to this bill be agreed to. The right hon. gentleman said that the three amendments made in the preamble, and in the lid and 6th clauses were perfectly harmless, and the house would do well to accept them. He was glad that this measure had met with the general concurrence of all politi cal parties in both houses, and that now all distinctions of the religious creeds of members in coming to the table to be sworn would be disregarded. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WHALLEY proposed to add to the oath, after clause ending " her heirs and successors," the words " being protestant.," explaining that his object was to secure the protestant succession to the throne of this country. The proposal not having found a seconder, it fell to the ground, and the lords' amendments were agreed to. DRAINAGE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL This bill was read a third time and passed. CONFERENCES DET'WEEN LORDS AND COMMONS. On the motion of Sir G. GRIT, a motion was agreed to to the effect that messages might take place between the two houses instead of conference,. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES BILL. This bill was recommitted. Mr. AYBTON objected to the bill as promothig immo rality. Lord C. PAGET said the object of the bill was to enable Magistrates to direct a periodical examination of prosti tutes in order to prevent the spread of disease. 2dr. HENLEY said the bill was applicable only to oer tain places, and asked c what principle its area was not extended. Sir G. GREY said the object of the bill was to prevent the spread of the disease in the army, which jnined ex ceptional legislation. It wee intended to apply only to places where a oonsiderable portion of the population be longed to the army or the navy. -•• • • • -- _ Mr. AYBTON moved an amendment against the system of inspection and certificate. For the amendment 5 Against it 76-71 The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. HOP TRADE BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, when An HON. Idewsss, having moved that the house be counted ; that having been done, and there being only nine members present, the house stood adjourned at ten minutes to two o'clock. iLatu InCt. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Aran. 26. (Before Mr. Oommiedester Hobert) Ilt to DUIEWPAII.-7111 001011111CLILL UNION wnm onakury (zawnso.) The bankrupt described as a gentleman, of Croydon, was a director of the above named company. This was the Bitting for examination and discharge. Mr. B. Bead, for the assignees, stated that the ban was liable to the amount of 13,00 M, in tespectorge Commercial Union Wine Company (Limited), now in course of winding-up. Most of the directors of that coni c/711rd oome to this court. At the last sitting the pt had been called on to give an account of the expenditure of money on behalf of the company, also of the dates at which wine warrant, and other securities were deposited with certain creditors ' • but these - tions were unanswered, and the bankrupt his inability to answer them. After hearing Mr. Brough for the bankrupt, His Honour adjourned the can for additional accounts. THE POLICE COURT& LAMBSTH. Emily Clara ifortaa:lB, was placed at the bar on re mand before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of steal ing an infant from the custody of another pereon in Kennington-park. The facts were that the infant dangther of Mr. Williams of Albert-street, Penton-place, was in the charge of te about 11 years of age, in Kennington-park, prisoner persuaded her to allow her to take the infant away to purchase a cake. The prisoner took the infant away, and did not afterwards return. She was afterwards taken, and the infant, which she had en deavoured to make people believe was her own, found where she had taken it, at a house in Cornwall-road, Brix ton. Since the last examination, police-constable 40 P had ascertained that she had been in service at a coffee house in London-road, and bore a very indifferent character. Prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, said she bad no thing to urge in defence, and was committed for trial. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OP CANADA. At the meeting yesterday, after our report left, The PIMIDENT said the question of raising the fares had beenoften discussed at their meetings, and it was found that the depreciation arose upon the traffic that paced partly through America and partly through Canada, sad they had consequently found themselves face to face with competing American lines. The Grand Trunk fares, the shareholders decided, ought to be regulated by those of America. With regard to the question of new capital, the best course would be to keep out of debt as long as possible. At the proper time however the board would bring forward a fi nancial scheme which had been proposed to them for raising a considerable amount of capital, and improving and extending the line. It might be thought wise, for instance, under pertain circum stances, to raise capital to work the interoolonial line through to Halifax. If the Canadians would make cer tain concessions, which could not now be mentioned, parties having large interests in various kinds of stock and bonds would raise a considerable amount of money for such a purpose. Nothing definite could be done until it was seen how far the Canadian government would meet them. The over with the Great Western of Canada were not yet rem pleted. Certain propositions had come from their manager , but remembering the want of enemas which had atten ded former efforts for peace, nothing further would be done until it was known whether the Grand Trunk proposals would be frankly accepted. The charges for compensation, no doubt, were large, end there were portions of the United States and Canada where grass was scarce and cattle cheap, where the settlers found a profitable occupation in turning their cattle on to the rails in order that they might be killed. (Oh As to the Fenians, he had a sincere hope that now it had been found that the misguided Fenian intended to commit some out rage, the American government would promptly interfere. ( ) The resolution was then carried unanimously. Meson. Newmarch and Taylor were re-elected auditors. It was resolved, on the recommendation of the chair man, to postpone the special meeting which was to have been held to consider an agreement arising out of the international bridge. Messrs. Watkin, M.P., Ferrier ' Potter, and Swift were unanimously re-elected as directors. In regard to the President, eulogistic speeches were made by Mr. Hartridge, who proposed him, and Mr. W. Champness and Sir It. Jerrie, who rose together to second the motion. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chair man and bard of directors. MARKET& TALLOW.—Tunanatv Evarixo.—The market was steady to-day. Spot, 475. 3d. ; April to June, 475. ; June only, 475. 6d. ; October to December, 48s. 6d. Delivery, 448 casks. No arrivals. COTTON.—LivEuroot, APRIL 21.—We have had very dull market again to-day, and prices of American are fully .1(1. easier than yesterday ; fair and better qualities of Surat show no material alteration, but the lower grades are almost unsaleable. The sales are 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 are for export and speculation. WOOL AND WORS'rED.—Basoronto, Aram 28. There is great quietness in the wool market this morrn ninnogg The purc has es to supplT immediate wants are exceed ingly small ; still there is no want of confidence amongst buyers. The fine weather and the prospects of peace in Germany will, it is generally thought, soon bring about a better state of things in this market. The lull arises, not so much from any fear of war on the Continent, as the ap prehension that cotton may go down, and thus press in directly upon the prices of wooL If there be no such re sult, business will speedily revive. The flatness no doubt arises in • great measure from • large public sale of wool which is to take place here in the afternoon. Some 800 sheets of bright-haired wool (the stock of • firm about to dissolve partnership) are to be offered for sale. There are buyers in the market from all parts of the manufacturing districts, and it is fully anticipated that quotations in the competi tion will go up. No improvement can be reported in worsted yarns, except perhaps texture yarns, which com mand as high prices as have been recently given, and con tinue quite as scarce as ever in the market. Makers of lustre yarns, especially 32's, 36's, and 40's are as busy as ever they have been, and stocks in the hands of mer chants are very low. In 30's super, prices are fully as firm as last week. Low sorts continue to be inquired for. Tv/L. fold 40's have also been inquired for. The lower numbers of Genappe are in better demand, but the fi ner numbers cannot be moved o ff . The demand for the home trade is still very good ; upon the whole, prices are fully as firm as last week. The piece trade is equally inactive in several important departmentsof it. The home merchants are doing on the whole a steady business. The foreign houses are not without orders, but in the present unsettled state of the market were indisposed to place them. Stocks in plain goods are unusually low. Neither plain Orleans, alpaca lustre', nor Coburg's, can be met with in stock. Manufacturers are still so far employed on old contracts. They continue to receive fresh orders for autumn goods. The American houses are buying sparingly, but the accounts which have lately come to hand are reported to be favourable for the sale of Brad ford good". The China trade in camlets is getting quieter. China figures are still in request. Prices, with some excep tions, are firmer. The wool market above referred to was well attended, and the biddinp fully sustained the quota tions current in the market, taking into account the fact that purchasers have to pay cash down at once. Good parmls of Lincoln hoggs had (when our parcel left) realised 2s. 30. per lb. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Ncrrrtwowait, Aran, 26. — The lace trade has been rather quiet during the last week, the home markets having been affected adversely by the weather, but chiefly by the easier rates of cotton and Tarns. n unsettled market always makes buyers cautious in giving orders, but there is no doubt most kinds of goods are wanted, and that a fair amount of business will be done se soon as anything like confidence is felt in the stability of prices.—The hosiery warehouses are also affected by the same uncertainty which makes people slow in giving out work. There are considerable or de rs still on hand from India and Australia, as well as some for merino goodx which are more uninfluenced by prices, from the United States.—Nottiaciiissio Journal. CORY.—BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 26.—At Gloucester sad Worcester markets there was an average supply of wheat, which found buyers at about the currency of the previous week. - Barley inquired for and fully as dear. Oats dull, and white ones cheaper. Beans and peas unaltered. During the present weak few transactions are reported in the trade, and all articles are held firmly at former rates. At this day's market the turn in English wheat was in favour of the buyers, but we make no alteration in our quotations. Barley firm, little offering, and not mach wanted. Oats only found buyers in limited quantities. Beans 6d. to Is. per qr. dearer. More inquiry for peas. BBIBTOL, APRIL 2&—Our market to-d 4 was thinly at tended ; there was a short supply of English wheat, which realised fully last week's values, but the demand was far from brisk. Foreign quiet without change in price. Bar ley of all kinds dull, and to effect sales holders had to submit to a reduction in prise. Grinding qualities 00D tinue very amine. For oats there was • fair consumptive demand, and for Irish black last week's rates were rather exceeded. Maize end beans sold slowly at previous rates'. Damns, APRIL 26. —Our market taday exhibited a further rime of le. a quarter in wheat, and at this advance nearly everything was cleared. In fast there has been an unmistakeable improvement in the trade for the last month, and a pester disposition to pwaiase.

The following evidence taken yesterday at the Mansion.house appeared in the late edition of last night's emu: Mrs. Sarah Webber astd—l live in West-lane, Walworth, and I know the last 'Mame I gave his wife some money to lend to some person. I was not acquainted with than person. The money was originally lent in the name of Mrs. Terry, and I was anxious to have some security, and the deceased signed the paper now produced on October 23, 1862. (The paper was in the form of a receipt for 331. 15e., and represented that 81. had been paid off, leaving a balance of 251. 15e.). I received the 8/. - by pay ments of tee shillings per week. and the deceased has since paid me other small sums amounting to 71. or 8/. I never authorised Terry to send anybody to the deceased for money. She called on me about two months ago, and complained of some one coming to her to apply for money. Henry Hunt, a police-constable of the DI division, said — I knew the deceased, and remember her coming to me in February last, and showing me the letter that has been produced and the receipt for V. She appeared very math alarmed, and I went with her to try to find out the person who had written the letter. She did not show me any other receipt. _ • . rose-exanuned—l was not sble to find the person who had written the letter, but I warn looking for both Terry and Denton. By the Lord Mayor—The deceased said that the name of the person who was annoying her was Denton, and she said something about his being a solicitor. Henry Gilles said—l live at Bross-lane, Eton, and am in the employ of Mr. Roberta, boat-builder. I know the pri soner very well from his living in the neighbourhood, and I remember seeing him at a beer-shop at Eton on the evening of the llth of April, about 7 o'clock. He was dressed in dark clothes, and. had a high-crowned hat on. He generally wore a billy-cock or deer-stalker, like the one now produced. Some one in the beer-shop asked the prisoner if he would make one at dominoes, and he said he could not, for he had forty miles to go that night. I said to him, " What, forty miles ! Yon cannot go forty miles to-night." The prisoner replied, " Suppose I go to London and back—that will make forty miles, won't ? ' I said, "Yes, but you cannot be going to London to night r He replied that he was, and 1 caned him a liar. (A laugh.) I have not seen him since until to-day. Cross-examinod—l am blind of one eye. The occurrence took place at the Jolly Millers public-house, and I am sure it occurred on a Wednesday or a Thursday. I cannot say how many times I may have been with the prisoner at the Jolly Millers. lam sure it was not in the skittle alley that I saw the prisoner on this night, but in the tap-room. I don't recollect who it was asked the prisoner to make one at dominoes. My attention was particularly attracted to the prisoner by his saying that he had forty milee to go. The Slough station is a mile and a half from the Jolly Millers. I do not remember any one but the prisoner being present when the conversation occurred. I cannot say positively that what I have spoken about did not occur on the 12th. Re-examined—l do not remember whether it was on a Wednesday or a Thursday. Henry Blackburn, a stoker at the Eton Gas works, said— left the works where lam employed on Wednesday evening, the 11th of April,at 7 o'clock in the evening, and was engaged in lighting the public lamps, when I saw the prisoner near a place Wiled the Willow Brook, which is on the way to the Slough station, and the prisoner was going in that direction. He had hi s best clothes on, and a high crowned hat. I nodded to him, and said " Billy," and he went on his way, and I have not seen him since until to-day. Cross-examined—He was not walking fast, and at the pace he was going he could have reached the station in about 10 minutes. It was about half-past 7in the evening when he saw the prisoner, or within five minutes of that time. He had frequently seen the pri soner on the road before. _ . . Clark, one of the Bucks constabulary stationed at Eton, said that he knew the prisoner very well. Wit ness was relieved about 12 o'clock on the night of Wed nesday, the 11th of April, and a few minutes before be saw the prisoner coming along the High-street of Eton, in • direction from the station, and towards his own house. He was dressed in dark-coloured clothes, with • high crowned hat, and had a short thick stick in his hand. Cross-examined—lt was not at all an unusual thing to see the prisoner with a high-crowned hat on, and he fre quently met him going home at night. It was a good deal past the half hour after 11 o clock when be saw the pri soner. He was able to fix the time because he was usually relieved at 12 o'clock. He did not observe that he appeared at all excited. Mr. John Bierman, inspector of the Bucks police stationed at Eton College, said—l am acquainted with the railway trains, and I lmow where the prisoner lives. On the night of the 11th of April there was a train up to London from Slough at 7.43 p.m., and it arrives in London at 8.40. There is also • train that arrives at Windsor station from London at 11.43 p.m. Windsor station was about 300 yards from the prisoner's residence, and he could easily walk there in about five minutes. Cross-examined—The information he had given about the train was derived from the time tables. If the train in question bad arrived at 7.39 p.m. on this night it would not have started until the proper time in the table, namely, 7.43. Mr. W. C. May, the sur geon who was called in to examine the deceased on the night of the murder, proved that he found her lying in the counting-house and quite dead, but he considered she had been so only • abort time, and the blood was still flowing from her. There were a large number of wounds upon her head, and some of them were of so serious • character that they at once accounted for her death. There were wounds in her face as well as her bead, and • great deal of blood on the ground. It was quite impossible that the injuries he ob served could have been occasioned by a fall, and in wit ness's opinion some of the wounds had been caused by a blunt instrument, and others by a sharper one, and • crow bar that was shown to him might, in his opinion, have caused all the wounds that he observed on the head of the deceased. - - Cross-examined—There were no appearances of a struggle. The deceased appeared to have fallen quite placidly. It was witness s opinion that it was certainly probable that by whomsoever this murder was committed must have had some blood upon his person. Mr. Caton, another surgeon, who assisted in the post mortem examination was then examined, and he confirmed the evidence that had been given by Mr. May. Mr. Wontner said this was all the evidence he purposed to offer at present, and he asked for a remand. Mr. Scarth said he was in a condition to account in the most satisfactory manner for the whole of the evening on Wednesday, and he had witnesses in attendance for that purpose- The Lord Mayor said he should oertainly feel it his duty to remand the prisoner, and he suggested that it would be advisable that the evidence referred to should not be brought forward at present. Mr. Scarth concurred in this, and the prisoner was then remanded to the 4th of May. LONDON COFFEE AND EATINONODSE-KEZPLEA' B!NEVOLSNT An.4OCIATION.—The anniversary dinner of this society, which was established for the granting annui ties to decayed members, their widows, and orphans, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern last evening ; Mr. Alex ander Bruce, London manager for Messrs. Younger and Co., in the chair. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to the Society," said that he was informed there were at the present time 3,000 ooffee-houses in London, and that their numbers were annually increas ing. This association had been in existent* for 30 years, and he perceived by the report that it had been doing a large amount of good work. Perhapi,those gentlemen who had fought a hard battle to establish the society were disposed to rest and be thankful, but he would tell the company that in the ease of a benevolent institution like this, there was no finality, and he earnestly exhorted them to use their best exertions to promote the objects they had in view. He trusted that those exertions would be made until they had relieved all who applied to them for assist ance, and hoped that those who had not already joined the society would do so at once. The subscriptions announced amounted to about 200/. On Saturday afternoon (says the Cork Examiner), the troops in garrison were paraded to bear read the sen tence on Drum-Major James Butler, of the 2nd (Queen's Own) Regiment, who bad recently been found guilty by general court-martial of complicity with the Fenian con spiracy. The regiments on parade were the 4th Dragoon Guards, Ist Royal (second battalion), and 2nd Queen's (first battalion). The sentence pronounced by the court martial was penal servitude for life ; but her Majesty, on the recommenda ti on of the Judge Advocate-General, re mitted the sentence, considering the evidence of guilt in sufficient to warrant such punishment; area the prisoner was, therefore, released. He was, however, by order of the Commander-in-Chief, reduced to the rank and pay of • private, and when the sentence had been read the chevrons were removed from his sleeves. CRYSTAL PRLACII.
