COCKERYOUTE. ' , • , ei 1 • 1 ROUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY, JULY 9. Their lordships met at 5 o'clock, and the house was ini• mediately crowded. The ladies' gallery was quite full, and the doors were thronged long before 5 o'clock with mem bers of the House of Commons anxious to secure places in their own gallery. The steps of the throne were also com pletely filled with prominent members of the lower house, looonest whom might be recognised Mr. Lowe, Sir R. I Palmer, Sir William Hutt, Mr. Buxton, &c. The upper tion beach was occupied_ by Lord Brougham, Earl of - Ellenborough, Marquis of alhousie, and Lord Sondes. Zarb Granville and Russell arrived. early, and were quickly followed by Lord Westbury, with whom both peers exchanged the most friendly postings. The Duke of Argyll crossed several times over to the ministerial side, but at last seated himself in the front opposition beech. The Earl of Derby entered the house at ten minutes past five, and at the quarter commenced speaking. The house was also attended by their Royal Highnesses the p r ime of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Cambridge, who entered while the Earl of Derby was speekinii, and took their seats upon the first cross bench. on which were also the Marquis of Clanricarde and Earl Grey. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales was also present, having a seat in that portion of the gal lery usually devoted to distinguished strangers. STATEMENT. Lord DERBY, after expressing his personal desire that the onerous task of forming a new ministry had been 'pared him, declared that a sense of public duty, and a regard for the great party with which he had acted for many years, left him no alternative but to attempt to Garry out the minden with which the Queen had entrusted Lim. After pointing out the forbearing conduct of the eouservative party during the lifetime of Lord Palmerston, as proceeding from the sense of the public service which a great constitutional party could render to a wise and prudent minister, he observed that the death of that eminent statesman had greatly changed the state M affairs. ♦ new parliament had been elected, and, contrary to the opinion which had been =pressed by Lord Palmerston, a Reform Bill was intro duced in its first session—a bill lustily and crudely pre pared upon the faith that the nominal liberal majority would insure its sumer. The diaostations which followed had shown that, notwithstanding the large ministerial majority, there were many of the ordinary supporters of the late government who ware not prepared to adopt the measure in the shape in which it had been presented to parliament. The late government had, as he thought, unnecessarily, made the adoption of the bill in its integrity a question of confidence, and having been defeated upon one point, they bad resigned their offices. Her Majesty having requested him to form a government, he had at first endeavoured to do so upon an enlarged basis by in cluding among the members of the party with which he acted other gentlemen, who, although not members of the party, still might, without sacrifice of principle, be enabled to join it. He had therefore applied to the Duke of So merset and Lord Clarendon, and to the late Lord Lans downe, to assist him in the formation not of a coalition government, but of a government upon an enlarged basis, but his invitations had not been accepted. He therefore bad been compelled to attempt the formation of a govern ment from among the members of the conservative party, not being able to perceive any leader of the liberal party who would be more able to carry out the Queen's desire ; but he had not omitted to invite the assistance of some of those members of the liberal party who had been instru mental in defeating the late government. Those gentle. men, however, had decided not to take office with him, although they had promised his ministry an impartial and independent support. After a brief allusion to the diffi. oulties of distributing a limited number of offices among a large number of expectant', and the difficulty of assigning the desired office to each indivi dual, which he quoted as excuses for the necessary sus pension of public business, Lord Derby gave a general statement of the views of his government. In foreign affairs he held it to be the duty of this country to maintain amicable relations with all foreign countries, to avoid entanglement with foreign disputes, and to abstain front all vexatious and irritating interference or advice. With respect to the unhappy war in Central Europe, the government would maintain a perfect neutrality, but would be prepared, in conjunction with other Powers, whenever a favourable op portunity presented itself, to offer its good offices for the restoration of peace. Commending the action of the United States government in relation to the Fenian inroad into Canada, Lord Derby paid a tribute to the loyalty and devo tion displayed by the Canadian volunteers, adding an ex pression of his desire that a confederation of all our North American colonies might soon be accomplished. Referring to the question of parliamentary reform, he said he had never been hostile to the principle of such reform, but he must hold himself and his colleagues free and un pledged upon that question. He had assisted in carrying the Reform Act of 1832, and in 1858, although he could not admit any pressing urgency, he had been a party to a measure which was intended to remedy existing anomalies, and to extend the franchise to classes which were qualified to exercise it. Ho feared, however, that those who were most clamorous for reform were those who now desired to effect still greater changes in our con stitutional system, and any moderate measure would therefore not satisfy the de:a:lnds that were made. Upon that point, ho repeated, he must reserve a freedom of action, but there were several subjects to which the at tention of the government would be immediately devoted, including a reform of the bankruptcy laws and an amend ment of the administration of the poor laws. With regard to Ireland, an honest, impartial policy would he adopted, and, as soon as circumstances should safely allow of such a course, all exceptional laws in that island should cease. In his peroration Lori Derby expressed his hope that he, or failing himself, some other minister, might lead the country on the path of safe and steady progress, preserving the just balance of our institutions, which had for centu ries been our glory and the source of our happiness and prosperity. Earl RUSSELL vindicated his foreign policy. nrging that he had never needlessly interfered in the affairs of other countries, or been guilty of empty menace. He re verted to the favourable oomlition in which the late government had left the country, especially in regard to its financial position, which was owing to the great ability and industry of Mr. Gladstone. In regard to reform, he contended that the time was opportune for a measure, that the measure itself was fair and moderate, and well calcu lated to settle for a length of time the question involved, and that it had failed only from the obstructive course which had been adopt:id by those who were as much pledged to reform as the late government. With regard to foreign affairs (added the noble lord), I believe the whole country had complete confidence in my noble friend who lately held the seals of the Forehrn Department. (Hear, hear.) Under his ability, skill, and experience the foreign affairs of the country were sure to be conducted with wisdom. Many difficult questions still remain open for discussion ; and I can only hope that at no long dis tance of time peace may be restored to Europe on satis factory terms. For my part, I hope th it out of the present complications a state of things may arise more favourable to the freedom of Germany. As far as I am concerned, I trust the noble earl will not be interrupted or embarrassed in any negotiations into which he may have to enter. The noble earl said very truly that we are not bound by any treaty or obliga tion with respect to this particular question—by the trmity of Vienna, between Austria and Prussia ; or by the treaty of Zurich , between France, Austria, and Italy. With regard to the treaty of Idl3 respecting Poland, and that of lf2, with respect to Denmark—when these treaties were openly violated we thought it was not consistent either with the honour or dignity of the country to pass entirely sub silentio those violations. The noble lord said, and I said after him, that this was a serious matter, and that it might lead to serious events ; and the result has shown that we were not mistaken, because the present war arose out of the question o f ElchLeawig-Holstein. I hope that the policy of this country will not be so departed from as that we shall not have an interest in the independence of foreign states. I trust that if on the present occasion England ' France, and Russia s ho u ld concur , it will be in the interests of peace and the independence of Italy, for, if that question be not settled, we shall have fre quently recurring wars. In conclusion, I shall only say that I hope the principles of civil and religious freedom will not be abandoned because there is a change of minis try: (Hear, hear.) Lord Elk/U6IIAM hoped the present government would in concert with France take measures for reducing those enormous standing armies which were a source of financial difilettlty to the people, as well as a danger to the liberties of nations. The house adjourned at a quarter to 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, JULY 9. The Brasxes took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE 8U81N1193. The following bills were read a third time and paned : Bunhanan's Estate Bill ; Fumes' and Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway Companies Bill ; Guardian Fire and Life Assurance Ooeipany Bill ; Medway Docks (No. 1) Bill ; and Shrewsbury Bridges Bill. Mr. GOLDNEY, in the &beetles of the noble lord the member for West Kent (Lord Holmesdale), moved the second reading of this bill, observing that the portion of the estate over which it would permit Sir • Thos. Maryon Wilson to grant building leases was so situated that the rights of the public in Hampstead-heath would be in no way interfered with. Mr. H. LEWIS moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Sir T. M. Wilson, by the will of his father, dated in 1806, became lord of the manor of Hampstead-heath, and proprietor of considerable estates as tenant for life, and there was every reason to suppose that the will was a well considered document, inasmuch as nine codicils were added at different times explaining the extent of the leasing powers it conferred. It would appear that the testator jealously and specially guarded Hampstead-heath from all invasion, by excluding it from any of the leasing powers granted. In 1829, Sir T. M. Wilson made his firstap plication to parliament for power to do that which was not I authorised by the will, and. since then he bad come ten or eleventimee with a similar measure, but had always failed, the highest legal authorities, including Lord Tenterden, Lord Denman, Lord Campbell, Chief Baron Pollock ? and Mx. Justies Williams, being of opinion that the testator mtended that there should be no power of granting building leases upon the Hampstead-heath estates. Now this measure, which bad been over and over again rejected by parlia ment, was sought to be carried through the second reading on an occasion when it we. understood that the house only met for formal badness. W Lord ENFIELD seconded the amendment. General DUNNE said that so far from the land to which thisbill referred being part of Hampstead-heath, the village of Finchley was between the heath and it. The property was very valuable, and with the present demand for build ings roundLondonitappeared to him that the measure was one in which the public were as much concerned as Sir Thomas Wilson. Two railways had been allowed to pene trate into the district, and it would be convenient for the public if the locality, to which easy access had been given, were bu il t upon. He could understand why the hon. gentleman, representing the district he did, should object to a measure which might add many votes to the county of Middlesex. It was no wish of his that the wills of tes tators should be interfered with, but this was altogether an exceptional case. Mr. B. HOPE bad no objection to Sir T. Wilson making as many faggot votes as he pleased.—(a laugh)—but what they wanted was to save Hampstead-heath, the most beautiful open ground about the metropolis. Let Sir Thomas Wilson come forward with a fair offer to cede his rights in Hampstead-heath to the Metropolitan Board, or some other authority, getting if he pleased a just price for it, but it was preposterous to ask the house to discuss this bill when they were expecting to hear an eloquent address in another place. Mr. ADAIR wished before they went to a division that the house might be put in possession of the real circum stances of the case. They would not in any way preju dice Hampstead-heath by consenting to the second read ing of this bill, and there should in his opinion be some exoeedingly strong ground made out before the house decided not to permit a bill to go before a select committee, where all objections might be fully heard. It was well known that Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson had property in the neighbourhood of Hampstead, which com prised within its extent Hampstead-heath. That gentle man now came forward and asked for power to build over a certain portion of that property which did not in any way approximate to the heath in question . Several fi elds and a certain portion of the hamlet of West-end interposed between the heath and the site proposed to be built on. He hoped the house, under those circumstances, would not reject the second re ading of the bill, but would allow it to go to a committee up stain, where it was understood would be present that watchful, not to say troublesome and meddlesome body, the Metropolitan Board of Works, who were willing enough, and rich enough, to do their duty in this instance, and protect the public against any steps which it night be supposed would prejudice the people. Mr. T. CHAMBERS said the first question was whether the measure ought to be opposed in that house or before a select committee. The bill was opposed on the ground that it infringed public convenience and public health in the metropolis. This was the ninth occasion on which Sir T. Willloll, who had had the greatest statesmen opposed to him on this question, sought to effect his object. The opponents of the measure maintained that it was against the public interests, and the legislature had not thought proper to deprive the public of the open space it now enjoyed. The house then divided. For the second reading 65 Against it 72-7 THE TREATMENT OF THE POOR. An RON. MEMBER gave notice that on an early day he should move for papers connected with the treatment of the poor in the metropolitan workhouses. SALMON FISHERIES BILL. Mr. W. E'WART gave notice that in the event of the Salmon Fisheries Bill being proceeded with, be should move its reference to a select committee. THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. Mr. W. EWART also gave notice of a motion for the total repeal of the punishment of death. THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY (IRELAND). Sir R. PE - EL gave notice that on the 'first available day when public business could be proceeded with, he should ask his right hon. friend the es-Chancellor of the Exche quer a question with reference to an assurance he had given the right hon. gentleman the member for Caine and himself (Sir R. Peel), in the early part of the session, with reference to any contemplated changes in the constitution of the Queen's University. He would also take that opportunity of asking his right hon. friend's opinion as to that assurance that no steps would be taken, nor would the crown be committed toany formal act, with out the house having a full opportunity of challenging the government on that question. He should also ask his right hon. friend whether it was true that a supplemental charter had actually, in spite of thatassurance, been signed by the sovereign, and whether it had been sent to Ireland to be submitted the day after to-morrow to the Senate of the Queen's University for its approval. Also, if necessary, he should feel it his duty to move the adjournment of the house to enable him to call attention to this extraordinary proceeding. (Hear, hear.)

BRIDGWATRI. Mr. George Patton having accepted the post of Lord Advocate under the new administration, another election, being the third within the period of one year, is rendered necessary in this borough, and the Mayor having received the writ on Saturday, has appointed to. morrow (Wednesday) for the nomination. It is asserted that Mr. Patton's return will be again opposed by Mr. Walter Bagehot, the liberal candi data at the recent election, who was then defeated by a very narrow majority. T his gentleman's address had not been issued up to Saturday evening, but on that after noon Kr. Patton's address was circulated throughout the borough. CAMBEIDOIBaOiUL Proclamation of the receipt of the writ was made yesterday, and also that the High Sheriff has appointed Tuesday, the 17th Mat., for miming it into effect. The members of the liberal party still insist that in all bility there will be opposition to the re-election oi " L i el Royston, but as yet no name as that of a liberal candidate has been publicly mentioned. BTAYDOED. The two members for Stamford, having received appointments under Lord Derby's administration, will present themselves for re-election on Thursday next. NORTH DEVON. Sir Stafford Northoote having accepted the office of Preaident of the Board of Trade will seek re-election as member for North Devon. The election will take plaoe on Saturday next at Southmolton. Sir Stafford has issued an address, in which he says, " Having been among you so lately, and looking forward to so early an opportunity of meeting you again, I need not at present enter upon a discussion of the political situation of the country, either as regards its foreign relations or its domestic affairs. Lord Derby has been called upon to take office under circum stances of much difficulty, and I feel sure that there will be a general disposition on the part of the country to allow the new administration to mature the measures which it will be their duty to propose, and to give them a fair con sideration when they are brought forward." Mr. Charles Du Cane has issued the following address to the electors of the northern division of Essex, dated 54, Queen's-gate-terrace, W., July 9, 1886: " Having accepted the office of junior lord of the Admi ralty in Lord Derby's government, it becomes necessary for me to seek at your hands a renewal of the trust you have already for three successive parliaments reposed in me. Having now had the honour of representing you for nine years I feel that you will not look for a lengthened exposition of my politiml principles on the present occa sion. The present administration, succeeding to the direction of affairs at a most momentous crisis, will, I am convinced, receive at the hands of the country that fair trial to which it is eminently entitled. And I believe that in accepting office under Lord Derby, I am joining a government which will do its utmost to maintain peace abroad and assist at home the cause of constitutional pro gress." THE JAMAICA COMMITTEE. A special meeting of this committee was held last evening at ltailley's Hotel, Mr. P. A. TAYLOR, M.P., in the chair. Amongst those present were Sir T. F. Buxton, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. John Stuart Mill, bLP., Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P., Mr. J. Burke, solicitor of Kingston, Jamaica, Mr. W. Sheen, Professor Goldwin Smith, Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Frederick Harrison, and Mr. McArthur. The CH LIFUIAN explained that it had become necessary to call the meeting in consequence of the letter Mr. Charles Buxton had published resigning the chairman. ship of the committee, on tnegroundthat he dissented from the resolution to prosecute Mr. Eyre for the murder of Mr. Gordon. He (Mr. Taylor) thought that Mr. Buxton was in error In stating that the Jamaica committee had decided by a majority " that Mr. Eyre should be prose cuted for the murder of Mr. Gordon, either through the government or by Mrs. Gordon." Now, the fact was the resolution went no further than this—that the committee thought the government ought to institute a prosecution, and that they would press upon them to do so, and that in the event of the government not doing so, they would give Mrs. Gordonevery assistance if she prosecuted. (Hear.) Having dwelt upon the extreme inconvenience of the course Mr. Buxton had thought fitto follow, Mr. Taylor said—With respect to the present course cfprocedure which the commit tee should adopt there were ninny difficulties in the way. There were legal difficulties, and those connected with heavy expenditure. There was another difficulty, con veyed in a letter just received from Mrs. Gordon. That lady appeared to have been influenced, perhaps by the writings in the press, so as to consider that she would be in some degree the agent of a personal vengeance if she prosecuted the murderer of her husband. That was a feel ing which did her credit. (Hear.) Besides, she said, that could her dead husband reveal himself to her, he would he opposed to her lending, herself to such a prosecution. No feeling of (that sort could for a moment actuate any mem ber of the committee. (Hear, hear.) What was Governor Eyre to them ? They had never seen him. He was simply the impersonation of wrong. (Hear.) Still, it could not be concealed that the views taken by Mrs. Gordon placed additional embarrassments in the way of the committee. The question to be decided was— on what principle were they prepared, for the future, to act! (Hear, hear.) Mr. C. Buxton, M said that what occurred was this : —There were two meetings held to discuss the question of prosecuting Mr. Eyre, and at the last meeting it was decided to prosecute by a division of 11 to 3. Mr. Bilk:HT—There Was no division. Mr. BUXTON—Yes, there was. The CHAIRMAN—The matter was agreed to. Mr. Bexeott went on to say that next day he saw the resolution published in the papers, nut the slightest hint being given that there was any difference of opinion in the committee. It was impossible that he could allow his position with re ference to this matter to misunderstood. If they could have j+roseected Mr. Eyre for misgoverning the colony he would have been ready to take action in the matter, but he could not look upon him as being guilty of the wilful deliberate murder of Mr. Gordon. With respect to Mrs. Gordon, he had not seen or communicated with her, and the act of which the chairman spoke must have been volun tary on her part, as far as he knew. Mr. BRIGHT, M.l'., said that Mr. Buxton was quite at liberty to differ from the committee, and if the difference I was on a matter of vital importance, to withdraw from the committee ; but he had not done that. The committee did not even divide ; and he (Mr. Bright) went away from the meeting under the impression that Mr. Buxton, seeing the great majority of the committee on one side, might probably feel himself able to go with them. Two days after they saw this very letter—this very speech made at the meeting—in the newspapers, although there were no means taken to report the bservations of members on the other aide of the question. The proper course for Mr. Buxton to have taken was to let a paragraph appear stat ing that Mr. Buxton had withdrawn from the Jamaica Committee, not being able to proceed further in the course the committee had marked out for itself. But the letter of Mr. Buxton appeared to him (Mr. Bright) as a most hastily penned fulmination against the committee with which he had been actin, and of which he was chair man. (Hear , hear.) When he (Mr. Bright) moved Cie resolution, with regard to the prosecution of Mr. Eyre, he put them in words having special reference to the point whether Mrs. Gordon would undertake the prosecution or not, as he had not come to the conclusion that it was desirable for the committee to prosecute if Mrs. Gordon would have nothing to do with the prosecution. Ai to prosecuting Mr. Eyre for a misdemeanour, Mr. Buxton spoke of the crime as if it was not murder. lle (Mr. Bright) recollected at the meeting of parliament he discussed this question with one of the oldest and 'Lest esteemed judges in En Lod, who said—not in his (Mr. Bright's) presence alone, but before several persona—that in his whole life he had never seer. or known a case more dis tinctly of murder than the putting of Mr. Gordon todeath. His opinion, distinctly and clearly was that if Mrs. Gordon was willing in her own name to commence pro ceedings with a prosecution of. Mr. Eyre, the committee should undertake to collect funds and give her such legal assistance as was in their power. ( Hear, hear.) But if Mrs. Gordon was prevented by anybody from prosecuting, and was altogether against such a thing as a prosecution, it would make the position of the committee more difficult, and the whole question would have to he re-considered. . Mr. Luntow moved " That this committee approves end confirms the resolutions passed by the executive committee on the :6th of June." Professor GOLDWIN SMITH seconded the resolution in able speech. Sir T. F. Iluxrox defended the course pursued by Mr. C. Buxton. Several members of the committee having spoken, The resolution was carried, there being but one die• sentient. On the motion of Mr. BEALFA, Mr. John Stuart Mill, M.P., was unanimously elected chairman of the com mittee. Mr. MILL, M.P., said—Gentlemen, I thank you for this honour and mark of your confidence. I accept the post you have given me. (Cheers.) Idoso in the full convic tion that the objects of this committee are simply to ewer tain whether there exist in this country any means for making a British functionary responsible for blood unlaw fully shed—(applause)—and whether that be murder or not. I believe it to be murder. (Hear, bear.) This com mittee ought not to rest until it obtains from the legisla ture the assurance that men like Mr. Eyre will be made responsible for their criminal actions. (Hear, hear.) rotes of thanks wero passed to Messrs. Gerrie and Payne for their services in Jamaica, and to the chairman, after which the meeting separated.

On the motion of Colonel TAYLOR a new writ was ordered to issue for North Essex, in the room of Mr. Charles Du Cane, who since his election had accepted the office of Civil Lord of the Admiralty. A new writ was also ordered to issue for the borough of Shoreham in the room of Mr. Stephen Cave, who since his election had accepted the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade. PUBLIC BUSINESS.—ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. HUNT, in moving that the house at its rising adjourn to Monday next, begged to state the o rder of public business. It was proposed that supply should be the first miler, and then he intended to move the estimates of the revenue department, and post-office packet service. His right hon. friend the Home Secretary, if then in the house, would proceed with the Reformatory Schools Bill, and the Industrial Schools Bill. and, if time allowed, with the Public Health Bill, the Vaccination Bill, and the Artisans and Labourers' Dwellings hill. (Hear, hear). METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. B. HOPE said it would begreatly to the convenience of the house if some member of the government would state when certain questions referring to the public build nip of the metropolis would be proceeded with. Questions relating to the National Gallery, Burlington-house, kc., ought to be sifted and fairly discussed, and not as hereto fore made a shuttlecock between one government and another. Mr. E. C. EGERTON said that the course which the government intended to take would be stated on Monday neat. THE CESSION OF VENETIA. Mr. D. GRIFFITH. said that the long-prolonged inter regnum was a very serious detriment to the public, because events of immeme importance were row pessing on the continent with eitreine rapidity. It was known that after the dis,istrous engagement the other day a proposition was made by Austria to the French goverment, relating to a certain cession of a part of Venetia. It was solely on accuent of the extraordinary nature of that proceeding that he ventured to warn the housa and the public as to possible consequences which might ensue. In this case one of the three belligerent governments had handed over to another government a province which it was to dispose of to one of those three belli. gerent governments ; anal the dii;culty be felt was that some decision might inadvertently be come to on the part of our Foreign-oflice before the opinion of timt house and the country• had an opportumty of being expressed in the matter. The house had had experience of similar transactions, but on a former occasion, when Lombardy was given over to France, a compensation was mquired. France was then a belligerent, but iu this case Fi.hee was only a spectator. In this case a cession was first of all made to France, and she might use that position so as to secure—in the political slang of the day--a material gua rantee by which she might obtain any other advantage which appeared to her desirable on behalf of her empire. If we allowed the unconditional cession of Venetia to France to be carried out, we could not prevent the transfer of Sardinia to France as compensation to her for handing over Venetia to Italy. THAMES NAVIGATION BILL. After some unavailing opposition from Mr. ATIITON, the house went into committee on the Thames Navigation BM, and agreed to the fiat five clauses. The Revising Barristers' Qualifications Bill also paned through committee. The other business on the paper was disposed of, and the Louse adjourned at a quarter past 7 o'clock.

Although there was a strong muster at the rooms to-day, btisi nine was anything but brisk, the number of offers appended to our quotations sufficiently indicating the languid Lone of the market. For the Goodwood Stakes the first favourite was the only horse backed for anything like money ; 3 to 1 was accepted freely, and finally an offer to take " three ponies" felled to elicit a response. Medea colt, who up to now had been second favourite, exhibited unhealthy symptoms, the odds of 10 to 1 being shouted at the close from several quarter.

This was a summons taken out by the official liquidator for the purpose of cancelling an agreement of oompromise entered into on the 22nd of June, 1865, between - himself and William Clarke, one of the contributories under the winding up. When the bank stopped in September, 1864, Mr. Clarke was the owner of five shares, and had agreed to accept his allotment of one share in class B ; and having been placed upon the list of contributories in re spect of his dams A shares, he became liable in December to 'my 350/. upon the first call of 701. a share. On the 10th Jan., however, Mr. Clarke filed an affidavit, in which he described himself as a journeyman mechanic, 66 years of age, and stated that when in full employ he earned 265. • week. He further stated that he had brought up respectably five children, and having saved a little money he was induced to purchase at a cost of 170/. five shares in the Leeds Bank. He declared his inability to pa the call, but o ff ered to pay 201., the auction value of his household furniture, and this offer was accepted bthe o ffi cial liqui dator and sanctioned by the chief cler k. Subsequently, the official liquidator was informed that Mr. Clarke was possessed of considerable freehold property which was esti mated as worth 9001. Mr. Clarke admitted that he had been in possession et several housed', but stated that after the bank stoned he sold them to his children for 7001., of which 6001. went to pay off mortgagee, and 301. for interest. Mr. Glasse and Mr. Cotton appeared for the official liqui dator, and Mr. Wickens for the defendant. The Vioe-Chanoelloroonsidered that the strongest ground of suspicion had been made out, but wider all the circum stances he felt that he would only be doing his duty if before pronounoo ►r oogg his decision he ermined Mr. Clarke personally in chain (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.) IN RA MR COMPANIES ACT, 1862, AND IN RI THE INTER NATIONAL CONTRACT COMPANY (LIMITED). In this matter one order was on Friday last directed to be made upon two petitions for the winding up of the above named company. One of the petitions was presented by a Mr. Spartan, • shareholder in, and the other by a Mr. Tabor, a judgment creditor of, the company. It was after wards discovered that Mr. Tabor's petition bad not been advertised the pprroo r time before the presentation of it, and on Saturday the order, so far as regarded Mr. Tabor's petition, was stayed. This morning, how ever, it was stated that although Mr. Tabor's peti tion had not been properly advertised in the London Gazette, as required by the orders of court under the Companies Act, it had been duly noticed in two other of the morning papers. It was now, therefore, asked that, inasmuch as the court had a power under the 63rd of the above-men tioned orders to dispense with any advertisement it might think proper, the order to wind up the company might be made on Mr. Tabor's petition as well as on that of Mr. Spartan. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., Mr. Malin, Q.C., Mr. Craig, Q.C., Mr. Greene, Q.C., Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. J. N. Higgins, and Mr. Swanston were engaged in the case. The Vice-Chancellor ordered the company to be wound up, under one order on both the petitions. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JULY 9. THE SPITIAL JURY RTRTEN. In the course of the sittings at Nisi Prins in London, before Lord Chief Justice Erle, aepecial juryman addressed his lordship, and said that he wished to protest against the system of summoning special jurors. He said that be had been summoned every session for upwards of 20 years, and this frequency of service, he submitted, could hardly be accidental, considering the long period over which it had extended. He received from one to three summonses every sitting, his brother and partner was u frequently summoned, and in addition he himself had to do duty at Westminister as • special juryman for Middlesex. He was perfectly willing to perform his share of public duty, but he must say that he did so under a feeling of wrong, in consequence of the impression that the summonses were not fairly distributed. The Lord Chief Justice assured the gentleman that everything was done by the officers of the court in accord ance with the spirit of the observations which had been made, and added that but for the pressure of public busi ness a bill would have been brought in to put the system upon a wholesome footing. That bill would have pro vided for the summonses being impartially distributed, for the jury having occupation whilst they were in atten dance, and for making the pressure upon them about one tenth of what it now was. The evils which were com plained of existed only in the metropolis ; and it was very desirable that gentlemen who felt the inconvenience of the present system should represent the matter to their members of parliament, so that it might be brought befor the legislature. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-JuLY 9. It was generally understood today that Lord Chief Baron Pollock had resigned. His lordship sat here on Saturday, and although it was known that in consequence of the change of government he intended soon to vacate his position, it was supposed that he would not do so until after the assizes. The learned judge, who is an octogenarian, has presided over the Court of Exchequer for wore than twenty-one yeano. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Paul Wangler, 20, a German, described as a cook, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing three coats and other articles, after a previous conviction for felony. It appeared from a statement inade by Agar, one of the warders of the City Prison at Holloway, who attends the court and frequently gives information of an important character with regard to the antecedents of the prisoners, that the prisoner had been convicted a great many times, and was a well-known thief. Upon one occasion he was sentenced to twelve months' bard labour, and at the expiration of his sentence means were kindly afforded to him, through the instrumentality of the chaplain, to return to his own country. Instead of doing so, however, ho immediately resumed his old courses, and in a very short time he came back to the prison under a fresh sentence of imprisonment. The Common Serjeant sentenced the prisoner to seven oars' penal servitude. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The event fixed for yesterday's competition was the All Corners' County Match, to be shot for with any rifle, and in any position, 10 shots each, at SOO and 900 yards. For this prize representatives of the Counties of Middlesex, Gloucester, and Lancashire were the competitors. The second item on the programme was the contest between Oxford and Cambridge and Middlesex, and the Tower Hamlett] and Middlesex. The other contests con sisted of the Enfield Association Cup, the Swiss Carton Targets, Running Deer, Running Prizes, Sighting, Sweep stakes, &c. The business of the day had not long commenced when it was announced that the volunteers from Belgium, in tending to take 'Art in the proceeding)] of the meeting, were approaching the common, and they shortly after wards were seen in the distance. It appeared that, anticipating their arrival, the let Surrey, headed by their band, and commanded by Captain Har rison Weir, had proceeded to the Putney station, and on the arrival of the train a most enthusiastic ovation awaited them. Hearty congratulations were given on all sides, each volunteer was eager to seise the baud of one of their visitors, and never during the existence of the National Rifle Association has such a scene been witnessed. The Belgian deputation having been formed, the Surrey band struck up, and they marched to the common, where another hearty welcome awaited them. They proceeded to the front of the Council Tent, where they were ranged in line, and Earl Spencer, Lord Echo. Colonel Kennedy, Captain Mildway, and others, were present to receive them. Lord Elcho advanced to the front, and, addressing the Belgian volunteers in French, gave them a hearty wel come, and called upon the British volunteers to greet their Belgian friends with cheers, which request was heartily responded to. Major de l'Eau d'Andremont, Comman dant desChasseurs Eclaireurs Beiges, returned thanks, and said—Our intention in responding to your bro therly Invitation is less for the purpose of gaining laurels than in setting a greet and favourable ex ample. We come here being animated by a sentiment of fraternity- we come to this England, which we are accustomed to consider as the mother of our national institutions—we cone to re-echo our feelings cf liberty and love to your country-. The reception which our much beloved sovereign has received from the grel.t city of England and from the English nation, has inspired WS with feelings of the liveliest gratitude. By our pre sence here we confirm the feelings of union and contra ternity which have emanated from his Majesty towards the English nation, and to return our respectful homage to your much beloved Queen. (Loud cries of "Hurrah, hurrah.") To you, my English brethren, we say, " Friend+, if ever some day danger should threaten us, m e shall turn our looks towards you as a free country, and great by its liberty. (Chem). Gentlemen, I propose to you three cheers for the Council of the National Ride Association. At this request loud cheers were raised, shakos were placed on the tops of the bayonets and hoisted in the air, and accompanied by marked demonstrations of enthusiasm. Major de l'Eau d'Andremont then proposed three cheers for her Majesty the Queen. This cubed forth renewed demonstrations, accompanied by loud cries of " Vive la Reine." The deputation then, by special invitation of Major Styan, of the Queen's Westrninsters, proceeded to the tent of that corps, where refreshments were provided. The deputation were then shown round the (amp, and by every corps they were received with the warmest demon strations. By a special invitation the Belgians visited the camp of the Ist Surrey Volnnteers, and were handsomely entertained, anti numerous appro priate speeches were given and responded to. With a view of throwing additional interest into the visit of the Belgians Mr. Steuard, optician to the Nation.l Rifle Association, will give a prize of ten guineas to be shot for exclusively by Belgians. It will consist of a Lord Bury telescope, with stand, fittings, case, &c., and it is ex pected that other prizes for them will be got up during the meeting. The Running Deer was extensively patronisedduring the day, and the following bull's eyes were made at it:— Lieutenant Burt, Ist Warwick, 2 ; Mr. Lucas, 9th Surrey, 1 ; Ensign Hutton, 19th North Yorkshire, 1 ; Captain Harrison, 19th West Yorkshire, 1 ; Captain Bland, 76th Regiment, 2. The bands of the tat London Scottish and Ist Surrey played on the common during the day. The following are the otficial scores of the different contests which took place yesterday: WINNEII.9.

Mr. John Grant, pawnbroker, of London-wall, was sum moned on Saturday before Alderman Salomon'', to answer the following complaint. Hubert tirant, the complainant (no relation of the above), said he was a draper and lived at No. 2, Bishop's•road, Bayswater. On the 2.sth of June he pledged at the defen dant's shop three pieces of skirting, two pieces of white net, and a remnant containing 2(4 yards of black silk. He got (I. on them, and received the duplicate produced (a hieh contained a list of the above goods). On Monday last he went to redeem them, and paid the 61. and inte rest ; but when he examined the parcel the silk was not in it. The value of the silk was (M. _ _ _ _ By Mr. Ncate—NVitness did not open the parcel and abstract the silk from it. He had not been long in busi ness iu the Bhihop's-road. Before then he was in business in the Kingsland-road, and there was a f.re there. He declined to answer what amount he claimed from the in surance company, or whether it was 1,0001. or no. He declined to answer the question as to whether he had been charged with obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Neate—lt is a question I am entitled to have an swered, and I must have an answer. Alderman Salomon—Do you mean charged at a police court? Mr. Neate 7 T mean convicted at the Old Bailey. . . - . Alderman Salomons—Well, that is a question I think you should answer. Were you convicted at the Old Ridley ? Robert Grant—l was, sir, about four years ago. May I explain! Alderman Salomon—Certainly ; you are entited to explain: Grant—l ran away from my father's house. an d was living with a person. I had not money enough, and I got goods in my father's name. I was punished for that, and lam now doing very well. I ern a house-keeper, and the rent is 200 guineas a year. My landlord's name is Ward, but I do not know where he lives. Mr. Neste said this was a most impudent attempt to defraud Mr. John Grant. The complainant went into defendants shop with the goods he had specified, and asked 13/. on them. Mr. Weedon, the manager, after examin ing them refused to lend more than 6/. on them, and put them on the counter. He then went about his business to the other end of the shop, leaving the complainant by himself with the parcel for about 20 minutes, at the expiration of which time he offered to take the 6/. The parcel was then done up as it was when he gave it to the complainant back, and without again undoing it he made out the duplicate and gave complainant the 6/. It was then taken to the ware house, and in the same condition brought down on the previous Monday. James Ramsey Weedon, assistant to Mr. John Grant, gave evidence in support of this statement, and Henry Winterbourne, second assistant, corroborated the last witness in the most material parts of his evidence. Alderman Salomon, said after such evidence he must dismiss the summons ; and on the application of Mr. Neste, ordered the complainant to pay 10a. coats. SATURDAY EARLY CLOSING. —A meeting of drapery firms connected with the Borough, Newington causeway, Wslwortb-road (north end), and London-road, has just taken place at Messrs.

A unanimous decision wns come to in favour of closing at sin p.m. on the day in question. Employers present at the meeting are accordingly waiting upon their fellow tradesmen in the hope that the whole of the trade will endorse the proposition, so as to make the effort successful in the interest of the employed.
