IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMIRONS.—TiILBSDAY, MAY 30. IN the House of CommoNs, yesterday, Lord STANLEY, in reply to Mr. MONK, stated that he had toceived no confirmation of tic telegram which had been published that Juarez had ordered the Emperor Maximilian to be shot. The house having gono into committee on the 11.4'rusentaton of the People Bill, he CHANcELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved to postpone clause 8 (which disfranchises Tuttle', Rei gate, thud. Yarmouth, and Lancaster), and said he intended to move an amended elicase at a future time. completely blotted out as if they were expressly disfranchised. The apprehended evil of democracy was that particular classes would swamp the others, but under this plan that could not happen, fur no considerable minority would remain unrepresented. In that way it would have a conservative effect. It would also have a democratic effect, because every man would be represented, which at present was nut the case ; for how could an elector be said to by rep resented by a man against whom he had voted Without some plan of the kind it was im possible to have a representative system applicable to the exigencies of modern society. Lord C eaNeoaNe said he should not be accused of sy inpathy with the views of Mr. Mill, but ho protest•:a against the levity with which his speech had been received. With respect to the plan itself, they all knew instinctively that it had no chance ,of success. Nevertheless, he thought it was one that was worthy of attention. Thu evil that the i hon. member had pointed out was real, but the re : wetly he proposed was impracticable. Mr. MorcitisioN thought there were many objec tions to the plan. 011 the other hand, it carried the principles of democracy to their logical con ' elusion. After sonic discussion on the pint of order, in the course of which Mr. AYKTON said that the ob ject of the postponement being merely to introduce a preamble reciting reasons for the proposed disfrunchisement, he suggested that the clause should not be postponed, but that the preamble should be moved at once ; and Mr. Unions- sug gested that the whole subject of distribution of seats should be dealt with in another bill, The CHANCELLOK of the Ravin-kr La withdrew his motion for postponement, and moved a pre- amble to the clause, reciting that thecommissioners appointed by her Majesty to inquire into the alle gations of bribery in those boroughs, had reported that bribery had extensively prevailed in them. 11.1 r. W. D. BAXTZR would have had no objec tion to disfranchise these constituencies if they had remained unchanged, but the house must recollect that they had been creating a new constituency, and Great Yarmouth and Lancaster were large places. At a future stage he would move that one member only should be taken from these boroughs. Sir G. liowven said the preamble raised the whole question, and as he had given notice of his intention to move the omission of the clause, he objected to the insertion of the printable. He oppeasi the chaise on constitutional grounds. It was a clause of pidgin and' penalties, and there was no precedent for such a clause being inserted in a bill which was for a general purpose. Thu matter ought to be dealt with in a separate bill. By this proposal they punished not ouly the electors but the town. Moreover the bill created a new consti tuency which was free from bribery. Sir R. KNICHTLEY protested against the propo sition to take only one member from Lancaster and Great Yarmouth. He sat on the committee for Great Yarmouth, and he was convinced that no man had the smallest chance of being returned for that borough without having recourse to bribery. Mr. t: Laiihrox it said the clause was no more a clause of pains and penalties than the clauses in the Reform Bill which disfranchised the rotten bo roughs. He thought the local connounities ought in cases of this kind to be held responsible for the acts of a large portion of those conuni.nities, and that the distranchising of those boroughs would have the effect of creating a public opinion adverse to bribery. He could nut conceive a worse plan than to deal with a corrupt borough by taking away only one member. Whatever punishment they inflicted on the borough should be one that would step the practioe of bribery. Mr. BAILLIS observed that they were not living under the Mosaic dispensation,when the Enrol the parents were visited on the children to the third and mirth generation, and he suggested that instead of totally disfra nchising the boroughs, they should suspend the writs fur ten, fifteen, or twenty years. Mr. Lowe said if the case had stood as it was before the introduction of this bill, he should have had no hesitation in voting for the disfranchise ment of Great Yarmouth, but since then they had gone through a revolution. They had virtually changed the principle on which the franchise was conterred. It was formerly a trust, but now they had declared that every citizen who had got a settled residence, and even if he had not, had • right to be represented in parliament. The con stituency of Great Yarmouth was now 1,600. Under the bill it would be about 6,000. Was it to go forth that they had no confidence in the new con stituency I Mr. Howes then moved to omit Great Yarmouth. Mr. Balmer thought it an unfortunete thing that the question of toe disfranchisement of four boroughs should be brought forward in a bill of this magnitude. The government had made arrangements for the disposal of the seats, and would necessarily be influenced by that considers- 'glen. There had been two cases' of disfranehiee7 meld since the Refurin'Act, those of t St. Albans and Sudbury, but they would not have been disfran chised if they had not been so small that they ought not to be represented. The proper and just course was to disfranchise the persons, who were well known, who had bribed or been bribed in these boroughs; bat to disfranchise 5,000 persons in Great Yarmouth because 500 had been bribed, was a proposition so monstrous that lit should be amazed if the house sanctioned it. Lord Cast+ imams observed that the consti tuencies of these boroughs would not be really disfranchised, inasmuch as the voters would be come county instead of borough voters. If con stituencies showed by their conduct for a series of years that they were not fit to send members to parliament they ought to lose the privilege of being specially represented. The CUANCILLOR of the Exeunt:Ea said the observation of Mr. Bright, that the government were influenced in this matter by their having made arrangements to give the seats to other boroughs, was not founded in justice. On the contrary, unless the proposition of the govern ment were carried, not by a majority obtained by party discipline, but by such a majority as virtually to show it was nearly the unanimous opinion of the house, the government did not wish to carry the clause. The government were ready to listen to any modification of the clause which would lead to a general concurrence. On a division the preamble was agreed to by 325 to 49. Colonel Parree then moved to omit Great Yar mouth and Lancaster, with a view of moving at the end of the clause that the writs for those boroughs should be suspended for ton years. This he submitted would be punishment enough. Mr. ACLAND suggested that the period of sus pension should be 30 or 30 years, and Mr. Breit that it should be lb years. Mr. GLansrosa observed that if mercy were extended to any of those boroughs, it ought to be extended to Reigate. If the suspension were to be continued till 1&37 ho should support it. Lord CRANUORNE pointed out that by suspend ing the writs they would not turn these electors over to the county constituency, but they would not be represented at all. The discussion was continued for some time longer, Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Gurney, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Cardwell arguing in support of the clause, and Sir 0. Bowyer, the Mar quis of Hartington, Mr. Gilpin, and Mr. Dillwyu supporting the amendment. Mr. Read protested against the constituency of East Norfolk being contaminated by that of Great Yarmouth being added to it, and Mr. Wyld suggested that instead of disfranchisement they should try the ballot. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that the policy recommended by the government was the right policy. The mere suspension of the writs would be looked upon by the country as mere trifling. He believed a great effect would be pro duced by disfranchising those boroughs. On a division the amendment was rejected by 109 to and the clause as amended was agreed to. On clause 9, which enacts that the boroughs mentioned in Schedule A shall return one member of parliament, Mr. B. Howe objected to the measure on the ' gro , :nd of its impracticability. Mr. Scrjeallt GARELER said ho did not know whether the hon. member wished the house to be a house of philosophers ;if so, God help them ! He hoped the house would go to serious business. Thu Citsvem.ton of the EXCHEQUER said he was glad the subjevt had been brought forward. It was one which would, no doubt, in future have the attent;on of parliament ; but he supposed the hon. member did not intend to divide the house upon it. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the Chairman was ordered to report progress. The house then went into committee on the Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill, in which some progress was made. 'llw Exchequer Bonds (1,700,0001.) Bill was read a second time. The Metropolitan Police Bill pissed through conuuittee. The Railways (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Metropolis Subways Bill was read a second time, and referred to a select committee. Mr. Hu . ui obtained leave to bring in a bill to atuend the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts. Mr. 261`Ecov moved to nominate the select cum mittee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Colonel GILPIN said if this question was pressed it would be found that the protestant feeling of the country would be against it. He moved that the committee be nominated that day six months. Lord NAAS supported the motion. Mr. ANC objected to the composition of the committee, and suggested that it should be nomi nated by the committee of selection. On a division the amendment was rejected by 08 to 42. Another division took place on the motion for the adjournment of the hove, which was moved by Sir B. Brydgea, and was negatived by 70 to 39. Another motion for the adjournment of the house was then made, and after some disctuision this was agreed to, and the house adjourned accordingly, at ten minutes to two o'clock. Mr. J. 8. MILL moved a series of amendments to enable minorities to elect candidates. This he proposed to do by enacting that those who declined to vote for the candidates of the locality should have the power of bestowing their votes on one who was &candidate for anywhere ; and if there were found in the whole country a sufficient number who had fixed their choice on the same person, he would be elected. The plan, he said, was known as Mr. Hare's plan ; and there was not really any difficulty in it. At present the representation was imperfect and in sufficient, inasmuch as there was a great minority who were not represented at all.

Mu futtllliStlTCt. EQUITY COURTS.-MAY 30. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) PRIOLEAU T. CMITEI/ STATEN OF AMERICA. This suit same on slain on exceptions to the answer of 1 the defendants, the United States of America. The case, it will be recollected, has reference to the right of the plaintiffs to certain cotton, formerly the property of the Confederate States ; and the plaintiffs' claim to the cotton is met by the answer that these goods were from the be ginning, and still continue to be, the property of the United States • and that having been wrongfully acquired in the fi rst instance daring a period of rebellion against the sovereign power of the United States, the plaintiffs have no sight to claim either property or discovery from the defendants. To this the plaintiffs' reply is, that by the law of the United States bona racantia do not belong to I the Federal Union, but to the state in which the goods are found ; and that if this cotton, by reason of its being seised during rebellion, is not the property of the plain tiffs, it belongs, not to the United States, but to the state of Texas, in which the property was found. It is to this point especially that the discovery sought by this bill (which is a cross suit to a former bill filed by the United States) is directed ; and the answers now excepted to were answers to interrogatories seeking to obtain from the defendants a statement of the propositions of American law upon which they intend to rely. Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., Mr. Kay, Q.C., Mr. Charles Roll, and Mr. Benjamin, for the plaintiffs, supported the exceptions. Sir it. Palmer, Q.C., Mr. G. Si. Gifford, 44. c., Mr. Druce, Q.C., and Mr. Wickens, for the defen dants, the United States, supported the answer. The Vice-Chancellor overruled the first exception, ob serving that the interrogatory, by asking ' whether there was any law of the United States whereby money or property contributed by inhabitants of the sove reign states forming the Federal Union for any purpose, legal or illegal, vests in such Union," called upon the defendants, infact, to set out their own title. It would be the same thing as saying that the defendant has no title to his property, as will appear if the defendant will produce the deeds and documents by which he claims. That could nut be allowed, and he must therefore over rule the first exception, and also the fourth upon similar grounds ; but as to the second and third exceptions, the case stool thus. The third interrogatory asked whether it was not the fact that by the law of the separate sovereign states, and in psrticularof Terms, all property in the na ture of bona vacantia belonged to the government of the separate states, and not to the Federal Union, and whether the Federal Union did not claim this cot ton as bons vacantia ? To this the answer was, that in 1541 Texas ceased to be a sovereign state, and thenceforward became part of the United States. The defendants denied that by the law of each separate state all property in the nature of bona vacsntia belonged to the government of the separate states and not to the Federal Union, and said that if the cotton might be in any sense deemed bona vacantia, it was bona vacantia of a rebellious and unlawful armed organisation against the authority of the United States, and that on the cessa tion of such rebellion such bona vacantia did not met in the state of Texas, but were from the beginning, and still continued to be, the property of the United States. The fourth interrogatory asked whether the United States insisted or disclaimed that they had any right or interest in the cotton, as successors of the government called or known as the government of the Confederate States of America, and whether they insisted or denied that the Confederate government was a de facto government exercising authority over the state of Texas. To this the answer was that the defendants claimed the cotton as being the sovereign power, in opposition to which certain persons in rebellion collected the same. They did not claim or disclaim the cotton as successors to the " Government of the Confederate States." for no such government existed, or ever did exist, in the intendment of this court, seeing that no government could plead in the courts of England till they had been proclaimed or recognised to exist by royal authority. They further said that the plaintiffs had no right to call upon them to make answer relating to any imaginary government ; and that certain persons unlawfully calling them selves the state of Texas did rise in rebel lion, and falsely pretend, in sasociation with others, to be a government, but of their pretended quality as a government this court had no power to take judicial cognisance. Now as to the third exception, his Honour thought there must be a further answer. It was of the essence of the ease that the plaintiffs should know whether in fact certain persons did or did not violently exact contributions from others by force of arms, or whether there was not ade facto organised authority. A similar em had occurred in English history in the reign of Charles IL, and it might be a matter of grave importance to ascertain whether the rights claimed by the present plaintiffs were derived from persons engaged in a rebellion like that of Jack Cade, or from the authority of a settled government, however unlawful, such as that of Oliver Cromwell during the protectorate. The question was whether or not the plaintiffs had obtained the answer to which they were entitled, and his Honour thought they had not. The defendants might deny that the per sons from whom the plaintiffs' rights were deriver' ever had authority over the state of Term. But it was to be observed that they had gone a long way in admitting that they were ade facto government when it appeared that prisoners of war had been in their custody upon parole, that a proclamation had been issued declaring that there was no intention of interfering with their established right., and that the state of Texas had in fact, after • time, submitted to the authority of the United States. On the other hand, it was open to the plaintiffs (in the first suit), by 'unending their bill, to admit that ade facto government, called the government of the Confederate States, had exercised authority over the state of Texas, and that by force of that authority contracts had been entered into. His Honour quite agreed that the United States were not bound to adopt the language of the pleader, and to speak of these states as " sovereign states ;" but they could not escape from answering the interrogatory as to the facts. It was to be observed that the answer carefully avoided stating whether thisanthority was ever exercised, and that was a point on which a further answer was required. His Honour thought it was a mistake in law to allege that this court had no power to recognise a de facto government. The court had power to take judicial cognizance of such a government, and without pretending to decide whether or not its acts were legal according to American law, it was bound to ascertain whether its acts were carried on by a constituted authority, and not by a body of rebels acting in a sporadic and fitful meaner. Then as to the second exception the answer was also insufficient. They might deny that by the law of each one of the separate states bona mouths belonged to the government of the separate states; and yet the proposition might be correct with regard to Texas. The general denial might be quite true, but the plaintiffs were entitled to a specific answer to the particular inquiry. The second and third exceptions must, therefore, be allowed. Three months would be given to answer, and there would be no costs on either side. &HARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) ktiii.Lsl Si 1 SO 10 100 Bon.

RAVAGE AND !SAVAGE. _ The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Swabey for the plaintiff ; Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the defendants. The testatrix, Mae Elizabeth Savage, of Tetbury.lodge, Cheltenham, died at the age of 88,in November last, leaving • will dated May, 1860, and • subsequent codicil. She had executed a deed by which she had given to her brother the principal of her property, amounting to 15,0001. or 16.0001., ho covenanting to pay her • yearly allowance. From this she had saved about 7,000 1 . By her will she bad given bar brother 2,000/., and constituted • Mr. Lingwood, an attorney at Cheltenham, and bet man of business, her executor and residuary legatee. By the codicil, however, she had revoked the legacy to her brother. Probate was resisted on the ground that the deceased did not know and approve of the contents of the will, and that in particular she was not aware of the nature of the residuary clause. There was no defence, and the court decreed probate. Suss BROKERAGE. —A case was decided in the Lord Mayor's Court. Guildhall, yesterday, in which the question for decision was the liability of the owner of certain shares sold by section for the amount of com mission fixed by the auctioneers as their brokerage, with out his consent. The London Stock and Share Com pany (Limited) was employed by a foreign broker to sell by auction some overdue coupons on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway which realised 60f. The company wished to deduct from this sum 121. 10s. as commission, and pleaded that such commission was charged in accord ance with the terms of their circular that was extensively circulated. The plainti ff contended that 5 per cent. was the customary and proper rate instead of 22 per cent., which the defendants sought to charge him by deducting that per ccntsge from his receipts. He swore that defen dant's circular had not been brought to his notice. The jury decided that 5 per cent. was • reasonable and suffi cient payment for the sale, and found a verdict for the plaintiff accordingly.

The committee appointed at the adjourned meeting of shareholders on the 29th of March last, " to consult and advise with the board of directors in reference to the financial position of the company and the organisa tion and management of its affairs, ' report that they have given considerable attention to the business entrusted to them. At the time of their appointment they found the financial position of the company the most pressing ques tion which required their attention, and it is with no little satisfaction they are able to state that the liabilities of the company, in respect to the floating debt, have been dimi nished from 1,300,000/.. at which it stood on the 31st of July, 1866, by 654,0001. This has been effected partly by the acceptance of the Six per Cent, stock when origi nally offered to the proprietors, and partly by the appli cation of the revenue of the company to the discharge of these obligations in lieu of the payment of dividend in the customary form. Hitherto, in spite of the panic which hes affected railway securities, the greater part of the debentures which have become payable hive been renewed at • moderate rate of interest, and the interest on debentures, which is now payable at the Bank of England, has of course been regularly met. The com mittee have satisfied themselves, by au inspection of the return made in pursuance of the Railway Companies Seen ' rities Act, that the debenture issue is considerably within the limits of the parliamentary powers and they have no hesitation in stating their opinian th at no safer investment can be found than the debenture stock of the company. Numerous letters approving of the issue of 6 per cent. stock in payment of dividend, to meet the finan cial difficulties of the company, have been received ; and your committee, on • review of the past, are confirmed in the judgment that no better course could have been pur sued. It will probably be necessary to continue a similar coarse for • short period , unless a restoration of confidence in railway securities, which may reasonably be anticipated, should obviate the necessity for such an exceptional prac tice. And the committee are of opinion that the Ini ts: t r no du t inn at i oc ti k inc ie und will p o ro ubta l l; b : in safe investment, In conference with the directors, it has been decided rf to seek powers in the bill now before parliament (in accord ance with the strongly expressed opinion of the share holders) foe reducing the number of directors, so that the board may consist of not more than fifteen, nor less than twelve, irrespective of the owner of the Wyanstay estate, who holds • seat under legislative enactment. In the opinion of the company's iter, it was not considered desirable to attempt to make this change without the sanction of parliament, which it is expected will be ob tained without difficulty before the close of the present session. Whilst much remains for the committee in con ference with the directors (who have given every assistance in their power) to consider in respect of the future policy of the company, this will require the most careful delibera tion for its due decision, and much more information than they yeti have had time to obtain. Certainly nothing has arise' in the course of this investigation to shake their con lidence in the future prospects of the Great Western pro perty. although it is apparent that it is now suffering severely. and must continue for sonic time to suffer, from having been overloaded with unprofitable undertakings. lf, as may be hoped, the commercial activity of tie MIDI:KART ORAN= AND STOMA 80.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASF4 OF TIM Curer, BROMPTON.—The annual court of governors of this charity was held yesterday, the Rev. Sir Henry Foulis, Bert., in the chair. After the usual preliminary busi ness, ' the report of the committee of management for the past year-was read by the secretary. In this their twenty. sixth annual report the committee expressed satisfaction at the amount of benefit conferred by the charity through the medium of its 210 beds • of in-patients there were in the hospital on Dec. 31, 1 865, 394 ; admitted in 1866, 1,008 ; of whom there were discharged, many greatly be nefited, 879; died, 131 ,• and there remained in the hospi tal on the 31st December, 1866, 202. The measure of relief dispensed amongs t the out-patients had gone on increasing each year. The past twelve months had formed no exception to this rule, the number of new out-patients eases haring been 8,625 in 1866, com pare with 8,386 in 1865. These had come from every part of London and its suburbs, from all the adjacent counties, and even from much more distant places, sided by the railway facilities now afforded. The annual subscriptions in 1866 had been 5,465/. 13s. ; donations, 3,128/. 2s. ; legacies, 2,407/. 17s. 9d. (besides stock, 4,39014 ; church collection., 8741. 12s. 4d. The income of the charity from all sources (exclusive of stock) was 14,' MW. Bs. 7d. The following legacies had been announced to the committee, but a part only (amounting to 1,3500 had been received: Miss Ann Bailey, 5001. consols ; Mrs. Sheldon, 1001. con sols ; Mr. W. lePowell, moiety of residue, amount uncer tain ; Mr. W. Chafyn Grove, 100/. ; Miss A. Hamilton, one quarter of residue, amount uncertain ; Mrs. Story, 500/. ; Mr. R. Churchward, 100/. ; Mrs. Henniker Wilson, 100/. . • Miss H. Hopkins, Low '. • Mr. D. Flacks, 191. 19s. ; Mr. C. Beschcroft, 501. ; Mime Waterman, 3/. The committee bad received various contributions in kind which bad much increased the comfort of the patients, and they thankfully acknowledged the gifts, consisting of choice engravings, dinner ware, champagne, and other wine, game, tea, oranges, hothouse grapes, 80. Influenced by the great number of applicants on the list, and the con sequent pressure for admission, plans for an extension of the hospital accommodation had been under consideration, but time sub-committee had turned their attention to • re commendation of the medical committee for the establish ment of a country house or sanatorium for the patients of this hospital, within an easy distance from London, and in a warm and favoured locality. They have endeavoured to obtain on hire, with option of purchasing, • meltable house and grounds for immediate use, as a convalescent institu tion, or to purchase an eligible site for an auxiliary hospital, but as yet without success. An interesting re port in reference to the ohaplain's ministrations was also read. Dr. Hamilton Roe was appointed • consulting physician of this hospital. I lis-i No. I Sh. I 1 0I MARKETS.
