Present the Earl of Derby, the Dal of Clarendon, the Lord Mayor, and Sir Charles L. Eastlake. A deputation consisting of Mr. Crisman, the Mayor of Warrington, Alderman White, and Mr. Davies, transacted business at the Home-office yesterday. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-odice from the governor of Vancouver's Island. His Highness the Prince Woronzow has arrived at Long's Hold Mr. and Lady Adelaide de Trafford have arrived TIM FEDERALS BEFORE RICHMOND. DECLARATION BY THE CONFEDERATE PRESIDENT. NEW YORK, MAT 21. (Per Andra Luisa via Roches Nint..) Further official accounts of the engagements on James River do not differ materially from the first report. The Monitor was uninjured, but the Galena was much damaged, several shots having entered her deck and sides. It seems to be admitted that the ascent of the James River beyond Fort Darling is not practicable, without the co-operation of the land forces with the gunboats. Semi-official Washington despatches of this morning state that the bead-quarters of General M'Clellan's army were last night within a short distance of Richmond, in front of which the Con federate army is encamped. It is universally expected that the Confederates will give the Union forces battle. The reported mutiny of troops in General Beau regard's camp was false. Another attack on the Federal fleet at Fort Wright is expected. It is reported from New Orleans that there has been very little public demonstration in favour of the Union. at 35, Albemarle -ogees. Mr. William Paynter's ball, inßelgrave-square, is fixed to hike place on Wednesday, the 11th of June. On Wednesday last the Rev. Charles Thomas Jaz Blake, M.A., was collated to the vicarage of Clayton, in the county of Norfolk, in the gift of the Lord Bishop of Norwich, by virtue of the bishopric. The last letters from Calcutta mention that Mr. Laing is expected to leave India about the 9th of June, and to arrive here in July, in consequence of the opinion of his medical advisers, thatit would not be safe for him to remain in India daring the reins. The royal commissioners appointed to inquire into the present condition of the volunteer force, under the presidency of Viscount Eversley, have commenced their sittings. The commissioners sat on Tuesday and yesterday, and have adjourned. Lord Radetock and other witnesses have been examined. The Army and Nary Gazette states that the Racoon, 22, screw stoma corvette. will shortly be com manded by Count °laicism (his Serene Highness Prince Victor Flolienlohe), for the purpose of conveying Prince Alfred—who, on pawing his examination, will join the ship as one of her lieutenants—to several of the chief ports of Europe. A parliamentary return issued to-day states that the number of inquiries that have occurred in cases of lunacy sine the passing of the Lunacy Regulation Act in the year 1853 to the 28th April, 1862, is 575 ; of these, the number of cues that were =boated to • jury is 21 ; and the number of those decided without that aid is 554. In the cases that were submitted to a jury twelve occupied one day each, three occupied two days each, one occupied three days, three occupied five days each, one occupied nine days, and one occupied 34 days. Sir Roderick I. Murchison has issued cards for two evening receptions at his house in Belgravesquare, when our distinguished foreign visitors are invited to meet eminent persons of our own metropolis. The evenings are June 3 and 17. It is understood that her Majesty's Commissioners intend to invite our foreign visitors to an evening party at the South Bennington Museum on Friday, June 6. The new rooms containing the Special Exhibition of Works of Art will be lighted for the first time on the evening in question. The Dachau of Cambridge and the Princess Mary have accepted the invitation of her Majesty's Com missioners. Mr. H. Leslie intends giving on the 4th of July a national concert, with a large chorus expressly brought up from the Principality. The score of Herr Ernst's quartett has arrived is Loaika. We (Atheiveum) hear with regret from Paris, that Signor Ronconrs state of health is such as to prevent his coming to London this season. Haldvy is said to have left behind him an opera in readiness, foe immediate representation. Sir H. Rawlinson announces to those who are interested in the comparative chronology of the Jeans and Assyrian kingdoms, the discovery of a Cuneiform document I which promises to be of the greatest possible value in de termining the dates of all great events which occurred in Western Asia between the beginning of the ninth and the later half of the seventh century B.C. An analysis appears in the Atheturom of to-day. "It is certain," says that }carnal, "that the data recovered from the Rawlinson Canon will not only fill up some gaps in Assyrian history, bet will disturb a good many existing theories as to Scrip ture. eh:molars." M. Guizot, in his new work, has the following @ketch of a dinner at Buckingham Palace :—" On Thursday, the sth of March, 1 dined for the first time with the Queen. Neither during the dinner nor in the drawing-room after wards was the conversation animated or interesting. Poli tical subjects were entirely avoided; we eat rounds circular table, before the Queen, who was on a sofa ; two or three of her ladies were endeavouring to work ; Prince Albert played at chess ; Lady Palmerston and I, with some effort, carried on a flagging dialogue. I observed, over the three doors of the apartment, three portraits, Fenelon, the Czar Peter the Great, and Anne Hyde, daughter of Lord Claren don, the first wife of James the Second. I felt surprise at this association of three persons so incongruous. No one had remarked it, and no one could explain the union. I thought of one—the portraits were selected for their size— they fitted well in their respective places." The meetings of scientific societies for the en suing week are as follows :—Monday : Entomological, 7 ; Architects, 8 ; Royal Institution, 2, General Monthly Meeting.

A watchmaker of Alencon, having lately offered some Swiss watches at exceedingly low pricer, was asked how he could afford to sell them so cheep. " Oh, that is simple enough," he replied ; " I bought them of • wild beast showman who had just come from Switzerland. Be fore leaving Geneva he purchased • quantity of watches, which he concealed under the litter of his lion's cage. It is hardly necessary to mention," added the scrupulous watchmaker, "that the cost , m-house officers at the Iron tier did not venture to search there for contraband goods." The musicians specially attached to the service of the Viceroy of Egypt have arrived in Paris by railway. This corps is accompanied by a detachment of Egyptian seamen, and they form altogether an effective force of 60 um, of whom 40 are musicians and 20 seamen. The seamen are dressed in white jackets and trousers, and they weer the farboirefie oe the head. Their officers wear tunics of dark blue cloth, with gilt buttons ornamented with a crown and anchor ; their trousers are composed of the same stuff as the mat. They wear • Turkish sabre attached with • belt to their waist. Their distinctive ranks are marked by stripes et gold lace on theircollars and their sleeves. As the mu sicians belong neither to the army nor to the navy, they wear • short frock coat made of blue cloth, with trousers of the same, so open waistcoat, and a Turkish cap. On their arrival at their hotel in Paris it was found that the beds =lfor them were useless. They divided into corn -1 seven, of which each occupied a room. They laid themselves as the carpet, having each his travelling hag under his head, and thus they slept, any other species of bad being to them a useless luxury : PRINCE ALFRED.—GREAT YARMOUTH, MAY 30. The division of the channel fleet, which has been lying this week in Great Yarmouth Roads, hes not up to this afternoon been joined by the St. George, 110, which has his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on board. Intelligence has been received of the St. George's departure from Baratialaad but the wind haviog been contrary, the wage has conse quently been rendered longer. Today the wind changed to the east, end there being a heavy sea on all pleasure excur sions to the ships now in the roads were necessarily sus pended. The officers and men of the squadron were, how ever, observable in the streets in considerable numbers. It is generally expected that the St. George will reach she Roads this evening or to-morrow morning, and the Mayer (Mr. R. Steward), anxious to pay due respect to the to invite his Royal Richness, with A P dtrli l i proposedma and the other officers, to a dinner at the Town-hall to-morrow evening ; but this hospitable project is not likely to be carried out, at soy tate at present, as the Prince win dine with the Admiral on board the Revenge to-morrow. The admiral and officers have, however, accepted the invita tion of the Mayor and some of the principal townspeople to a ball on Monday evening, at which the Prioce will also in all probability be preeent. There is therefore no likelihood of the squadron leaving the roads before Tuesday, and it is reported to-day that it may be joined early next week by the Warrior, iron-plated frigate. If this last statement should peeve correct, the squadron will natsrally become an object of still greater interest with the local public. The Memphis Appeal contains despatches from Camp Moore to the Confederate Secretary of State, saying that General Butler had taken forcible possession of the office of the Dutch Consul, searched the Consul's person, and took from him the key of the bank vault, in which was deposited 800,000 dollars, transferred by the Citizen Bank to the bank of Messrs. Hope, of Amsterdam, and intended .for the payment of the interest on the Confederate bonds. Tim Tory oracles have not been happy in their vaticinations. Instead of hearing the elaborate and well-considered financial review which we were promised from Lord DERBY, those who attended the House of Lords last night bad to endure • rhetorical speech from the Earl of CARNARYON, re markable for nothing but prolixity and extrava gance. We were to have heard how the most may be made of the taxes, and instead we had a lament that more are not raised. Lord Can- NARVON laments the want of • surplus, as if the surplus he desiderates did not mean • million or two less in the private pockets of the taxpayers in these trying times. The noble Lord, how ever, threw the whole strength of his voca bulary into an attack on Mr. GraDerons, with a very odd effect. According to him, the CHANCEL ka is responsible for encouraging " a spirit of speculation and gambling, " which goes to the root of public morality." Mr. GLAnsrowe, it seems, suffers under • " moral de " fectivenees and a failure of financial principle." He begins by deceiving himself, and ends by de ceiving others, and he is bringing the country to the brink of • social and political revolution. After this the future addresses of Lord CLRHARVON will be looked for at least with curious interest. He appears to have been studying the speeches of Mr. Drairrem, without, however, learning that nice judgment which guards and guides the invective of the Opposition leader in the Commons. The Duke of NEWCANTLE had no difficulty in I exposing the extraordinary number ot inaccu racies into which Lord CAHN/AVON had fallen ; but when he sat down Lord Ovnagrosz added his regrets that no more taxes had been raised. " He " wished to ask whether the wealth of the country " was exhausted—whether the elasticity of the " national resources was worn out—whether the " public spirit of the Government had ebbed away, " and whether the public had refused cheerfully " to make whatever sacrifices might be necessary " for the safety and honour of the country. Why " then was the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER " compelled to present them with such a Budget " Looking at the revenue of 70,000,0001. raised "so easily last year, from such a variety of " sources, and from so many individuals, could " they say that no effort should have been made "to increase the national resources Y " Such is the equanimity with which a noble millionaire can regard the oppressive weight of taxation which the country now endures. As there are some persons who may be led by Lord OVERBTONE% City repu tation to take him for an authority in nat'onal finance, it is as well that he should tell us that biz opinions during the last two years have suffered no change, and that he disapproves as strongly as ever of the French Commercial Treaty. Lord GREY'S speech was altogether of another fibre and fabric. What could be said against Mr. GrAirsroxz's finance he said with point and force. The danger of making a deceitful comproml , re between extravagance and economy, by rendering a large warlike expenditure easy for the time by transitory expedients, was well shown. Yet when we get to the bottom of his policy we find that, like so many other noble speakers, he would rather rely on a good round sum kept idle in the Treasury for emergencies, than depend on the public spirit of the country, to supply money by taxation when it is really wanted. The Earl of DERBY intervened at an advanced stage of the debate, but mainly for the twofold purpose of bringing off his noble lieutenant from a too advanced position in the field, and to fix a safe interpretation upon the recent speeches of Mr. Durasem. He did not, however, sit down without expressing a distinct opinion as to the only means by which the nation can escape a state of chronic deficit. This he finds in a " wins, tem " perste, judicious, and economic retrenchment." He did not shrink from declaring that while he " would not be a party to anything which would " weaken the necessary defence of the country, " he had a very strong impression that we are at " the present moment spending more largely and "to • greater extent than is required by the " existing circumstances of the world at large, or "by our state of relative preparation." This is an important profession, of which Lord PALMERSTON will certainly have to take note. Earl Russzu was quite right to show the nebulous character of Lord DERBY'S notions, as he did most successfully; but at the same time it will not be wise to let the Opposition get the lead of public opinion on this important subject.

General Butler also took possession of the French and Spanish consulate in the Old Canal Bank, and placed Colonel Edwards there. The despatches also state that he seized two banks, and issued inflammatory proclamations in citing the poor against the rich, promising to distribute amongst the former 1,000 barrels of beef and sugar captured at New Orleans. The news comes through Southern sources. The Richmond journals contain declarations of Jefferson Davis to the Virginia legislature to the effect that he never entertained the idea of withdrawing his troops from Virginia. If Rich mond should fall, the necessity of which he did not see, the war could be carried on successfully, and maintained on Virginian soil for twenty years.

(moria's TZLiGIAIIi.) ITALY. TURIN, MAT 30. It is asserted that Garibaldi will shortly set out for Baveno, whence he will go to Cannobbio, and afterwards to Genoa. Fifty of the persons arrested on account of the affair at Brescia have been set at liberty. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAT 31. Despatches received here from Montenegro an nounce that on the 26th inst. the Turkish troops under Abdi Pacha beat the Montenegrins over the frontier, and burned four of their villages. Seven hundred Montenegrins were killed. The consolidation scheme will be published im mediately. AUSTRIA. Austria seems to have resolved upon a material reduction of her army. The Military Gazette of Vienna states that the effective strength is about to be diminished by 75,000 men ; and in private cor respondence from Vienna it is declared that the imperial cabinet has consented to the reduction of 8,000,000 florins proposed by the finance commission of the Reichsrath in the war budget presented by the government for the current year. The same commission has passed two motions. By the first it declares that the chamber should call upon the government to settle Italian affairs definitively in such a manner that it will be able to dispense with the employment of a numerous army in Venetia ; by the second it proposes that the vote demanded for the Modenese corps should be granted only for the present year, calling upon the government to put an end to this abnormal state of things as soon as possible. ITALY. A letter from Rome of May 24 says The military authorities would do well to assure them selves of the identity of individuals who now come here in the garb of priests. The other day two thieves in priests' clothing came to pay a morning visit to a Spaniah bishop. lodged at the Hotel Poniatowski, and, being left alone in the sittintroom while the prelate was dressing, they laid hands upon his episcopal crozier, gold chain, and two gold rings, ornamented with precious atones, and got clear a with their plunder. A Turin letter says : The Chamber is on the eve of meeting. Nearly all the deputies have already arrived. The first sittings will be devoted to explanations of recent events. An immense majority will support the government ; and this will be the conclusion of a crisis which will have served to demon strate that order rests in Italy on more solid foundations than was generally believed. RUSSIA. The following curious document, translated from the Russian, affords an illustration of the moral state of the Russian army. It is a sentence re• contly passed by the Governor of the Caucasus, and approved of by the Emperor : A criminal inquiry having been instituted against several of icers and privates of the let Georgian regiment of in fantry, the following have been found guilty, and con damned to the punishments hereinafter stated : 1. Capt. Arualichwaroff (a Russian prince), guilty of having, for the sake of obtaining promotion, sent in a false report of an engagement alleged to have been fought by his troops against the Lesghian mountaineers, in which it was stated that :e cartridges bad been fired on his side, two men killed, and a standard of the enemy taken. The standard, as well as a hand reported to have been cut off from one of the native mountaineers, was sent in to serve ea further corroboration ; but, as appeared in the inquiry, the former was a spurious imitation of a Losghian flag, I while the hand belonged to a man who had been murdered by a sergeant of the regiment. The same captain was found guilty of having falsely reported the desertion of the murdered man, as also of seducing the soldiers under his command to corroborate his statements by false evidence. 2. Sergeant Mikeberidse (an Armenian nobleman), guilty of having, at the instigation of Captain Prince Arne hchwaroff, murdered a private of the regiment, whose hand wee subsequently sent in as a Leeghian trophy; guilty of having assisted in making the standard ; guilty of corrobo rating, by false evidence, the mendacious report of his cap tain respecting au engagement. The privates Prince Pavlenoff (Russian), Matehavadriani (Georgian nobleman), Logidsa (Armenian nobleman), Qwiti Shwili (Tartar noble man), guilty of not announcing the murder of the militia man, at which they were present; guilty of corroborating I the mendacious report of their captain respecting an engage. MEXICO. VIGO, MAT 30. According to news received here from Havannah to the 15th inst., the French had advanced as far as Puebla. General Prim will return to Europe vik New York. NEW YORK, MAY 21.

MON OUR OWN 001 PAB.IB, FRIDAY Evninto. There is no confirmation of the news given by the Pays that the Duke of Montebello was to be appointed ambassador at Rome. On the contrary, BuUier's Correspondence states that the Marquis de Lavalotto's departure is to be hastened, and that he will leave Paris on Sunday or Monday at latest. It is to be assumed, therefore, that the instructions given to Count de Montebello, the new coin mander-in chief, cannot be inconsistent with the policy of the diplomatist who succeeded in removing General de Goyon. I had written thus far, when, turning over the second sheet of Bullier's Correspondence— of neither more nor less authority than the first— I see it stated as " certain " that the Marquis de Lavalette will not go back to Rome. This system of giving news is sure to be right one way or the Dther. As the French say, "II y a pour boire et pour manger." The provincial journals to whom the sheet is sent by this night's post may take whichever they like. The following is the Pays' "Latest news :" . . Some journals have pretended that the French govern meet has addrened energetic complaints to the cabinets of London and Madrid, relative to the conduct of the English and Spanish plenipotentiaries in Mexico. We are informed that the note seat by the minister to all our envoys in Europe merely explains the conduct of France. While tinily resolved to pursue bar own coarse in Mexico, the French government will not hinder either England or Spain from aiding her towards the accomplishment of the object priposed, but she would consider herself released from the engagements contracted in common by the treaty of London, if the allies should persist in treating directly with Juarez. The Viceroy of Egypt gives an Egyptian dinner to the Emperor and Empress at the Tuileries to day. On this occasion the Emperor's cooks are turned out of the kitchen attached to Said Pacha's apartments, and the banquet will be prepared by his own servants, who have just arrived. An Egyptian band will play during dinner. The Vice roy leaves Paris on Monday for London direct, and will not go by way of Belgium and Holland, as was at first proposed. The three Arab horses sent by Abd-el-ICader to the Emperor were yesterday presented to his Ma , jetty in the court of the Tuileries by Cara Mo hammed, ex-Aga of Tlemcen, to whose care they I was entrusted by the Emir. The Empress was I present at the ceremony, while the three hates, richly caparisoned in eastern trap pins, were led up and down. Her Ma jetty inquired particularly of Cara Mohammed about Abd-el-Ksder's health. General de Fleury he oollected in Paris some of the best specimens of English thoroughbred horses from the Emperor's studs, in order to give his Majesty an opportunity of comparing the present pure Barbary race with the descendants of the Godolphin I Arabian. That celebrated ancestor of English race ' horses was one of ten stallions sent to Louis XV. ' , by the Bey of Tunis ; but that monarch preferred the Norman race, and undervalued his present. The Godolphin Arabian, as is well known, was ti fta!:!::3117t" 180. purchased by the English ambassador in Paris and sent to England. Abd-el-Kader's horses will not be despised and neglected like their predecessors. The finest of the three, called the Emir, will be sent to the Emperor's central stud at Pin, and the other two (probably) to the studs in the Pyrenees. Prince Dolgoroukow has shaken off the dust from his feet as a testimony against Paris, and retired to Brussels, where he proposes incontinently to publish a book, to be entitled " La Veriti sur la France." The Bourse has been dull, without any marked feature. The Rente left off at precisely the quota tions of Wednesday-70fr. 35c. and 70fr. 30c. Mobilier rose lfr. 35c., and the Italian Loan, sc. In railways scarcely any change. Caisse Mires fell 2fr. 50c., closing at 110 fr. AN UNPOPULAR BISHOP. The Pereeveranza of Milan publishes a letter con taining the particulars of the outrage committed on Bishop Zinelli, of Treviso, already mentioned by telegram. It will be remembered that Mgr. Zinelli was promoted to his bishopric in consequence of the strong language against Italy which he used • few months ago in his sermons in the Cathedral of St. Mark, which led to several disturb. ances, and to the clearing of the church by the military. The correspondent of the Per/femme.= says : " On the occasion of the installation of the new bishop of Treviso, all the upper classes of the town absented themselves in obedience to a proclamation issued by the National Com mittee. All the vehicles which could be found were hired, so that the authorities themselves found it extremely difficult to procure any. The new bishop, having previously visited Pragaussiol incognito, had been hissed there, and as he stayed with the priest, two petards were thrown into the house. An explosive shell had been thrown at the same time into the house of the capitular vicar of Treviso. The police afterwards discovered three mines which had been prepared along the road from Preganaziol to Treviso. These inauspicious preliminaries ushered in the great day of the installation. The town was occupied by the mili tary, and scoured by patrols. No carriages were seen in the streets, nor was one to be bad for any money. At five o'clock the bishop made his entry, accompanied by the delegate, the podesta, and the canons of the cathedral, all esoorted by • strong police force. None but • few of the lowest class were to be seen in the streets ; all the blinds were closed along the streets through which the procession paused. And yet, oo its arriving at the church of San Martino, some hand unknown contrived to throw an explosive shell into the bishop's carriage. Two persons near him were severely wounded by it, as also two soldiers; the bishop himself received no injury. The neighbouring house* were immediately searched by the military, bat no clue to the mystery discovered. To provoke the people *till more, the bishop had dressed his laoqueys in tricoloured liveries." PURCHASE OP ARMY COMMISSIONS.

THE LANDABHIRR RELIEF FUND. A portion of the committee of the above fund met yesterday at the Manion-bonus • Mr. Cotton took the chair, and the following members o nly were present :—Mr. Morley, Mr. Lycett, and Mr. Habeas:glue. Mr. Gibbs, the secretary, reported that the receipts and the grateful thanks had been received from the seven towns to which On 8001. was granted the previous week. Letters soliciting aid from the fund were read from St. Barnabas parish, Man chester, and Ballingt in, and the committee resolved that the sum of 1001. should be sent to the former. and 501. to the latter. A letter from Captain Grey. IL P., was also read, furnishing stetistios as to the oonditios of the Whir • bitanta of Holton-le-Moon, and it was resolved that the sum of 501. should be sent to that gentleman for the use of the relief oommittoe in the districts of Boltoo, who had applied on the previous week. The committee also resolved that, as the riccouuta from Preston were still nay had, a further 'um of 2501. should be emit. Letter were read from the incumbent of Failswortb, near Manchester, and also from the government medical officer of the township., comprisin g En fi eld, °Wen 'haw, Harwood, Risliton, and Human, In the neighbour hood of Blackburn ; and the secretary was directed to write for statistics as to the population and the number unem ployed. An additional sum of 501. was granted to Chorley, and also an additional 501. to Miles Platting. It was then resolved that the cheeks of the committee should be for warded to the Corporation of the City of London, for their liberal grant of 2501. towards the fund.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, Information has been received in the Exhibition building of a plan for pushing the sale of tickets which strikes us as being exceedingly well calcu lated—first, to catch the attention of the proviu cial working classes ; and, secondly, to enable many of them who might otherwise have had to stay at home to come up to London and see the world show. A lottery—the most innocent ever known —has been started in Manchester, with Fallibitioe tickets and free trips to London and back as the prizes. The scheme is a shilling for each chanc,, and every twelfth chance is to be a prize, compris ing a ticket for the Exhibition and a railway pass to London and back. We under stand that the plan has been im mensely relished in Cottonopolis, and that it is likely to be extended to Birmingham and oth , r towns, increasing the value or number of the prize according to the nearness of the district to town. There is no reason why it should not be tried in London, where the prize might be a family ticket, or a ticket and omnibus fare, and a dinner at either Mr. Morrish's or M. Veillard's. We do not think there is much danger of the Attorney-General in. terfering with this harmless infringement of the Lottery Act. The half-crown week draws to its conclusion in a blaze of triumph. Yesterday's was a most nume rous attendance, and the company was pretty equally scattered over the whole building. The courts allotted to the countries s in the north of Europe are blossoming out with all the rapidity peculiar to their own short summers. The Sweden and Norway department exhibited yester day several novelties, including models of all the coasting vessels, some rich cases of plate, and an assortment of chronometers, for which the exhibitor asserts an immense improvement on those now in use. One, which it appears has been six mouthy under trial in the Observatory at Stockholm, loci during that time only the 300th part of a second. The court is, however, as yet far from complete, and we merely note these facts in passing to show that the Exhibition still continues to grow daily in attractiveness. Several musical performances are announced for to-day, including one on the great organ from Hull, by Dr. Chipp, and a pianoforte recital, under the western dome, by Herr - Pauer. The number of visitors yesterday was as follows : —Season tickets, 7,014 ; on payment, 16,629; total, 23,643. Among them were the ex-Queea of the French, the Duke of Richmond, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Duc de Nemours, lied Bruce, Admiral Roos, Sir Alexander and lady Spearman, Sir Hugh Dalrymple, the Counte,,of &afield, the Bishop of Winchester, and lady Sarah Lindsay. THE IMMORALITIES OP THE HAYMARKET. A numerous deputation, composed of noblemen clergymen, and tradesmen of the districts surrounding the Haymarket, waited on Sir George Grey, yesterday after. noon, for the purpose of calling his attention to the deader and moralities prevailing in the Haymarket sod neigh. bourhood. Lord Cst.rnoars introduced the deputation, nod stated that their object was to lay before Sir George Grey • me. monal regarding the vices sad immoralities which prevailed in the Haymarket. He would be glad if the interne, should result in the diminution of the evils of which the deputation complained. Dr. HOLT Tares then addressed the Home Secretes, and stated that he had letters from the Earl of filiaftesbnry' and Sir Culling Esirdley, regretting that they could nu; accompany the deputation, but exporting their cox:. retire in the efforts now being made to abate the evil' in and srouod the Haymarket. Dr. Yates then read a mina rial numerously signed, which set forth the great pren knee of prostitution in the Haymarket end the wroth* thoroughfares, and in Marylebone and Islington. Be prostitution the memorialists attributed to the great number of brothels, gin pekoes, oyster-rooms, Ti' freshment-houses, low dancing and comenrooms, and casinos in the various localities. The memorial west ou nco lo nT 7 that the proprietors of licensed home* es to assemble in such /2001101, more e prostitut particular y after twelve o'clock, when the mina ware closed. It was suggested that it would beladvinble to compel the proprietors of public houses and refreshment rooms to close their houses between the hours of one and four, or one and five io the morning. If the present Lin were not sufficient to secure that result the memortidne prayed the government to introduce a bill which would • sufficient if not entirely to remove the nuisances, at leas: in mitigate them. Dr. Yates then said the chipolata represented all denominations of the community. I; would have been easy to have procured the aignatim of thousands of persons in the districts he bad mentioned. A feeling had been exhibited in the minds" the public, that the time was come when something mac be done to do away with a public scandal and a great shim to the nation. Sir G. GREY remarked that in the memorial, it vu stated that the evils were unrestrained of which they coa plaiDed. Did the memorialists mean that the evil was sat , restrained in the streets or in the houses A number of voices—ln both. The Beer. G. DAVIS stated that he and other' hid visited the refreshment houses which were so mid complained of. He believed these houses was a the increase. The reverend gentleman having desened some of the dancing rooms he had visite4 said is bad afterwards gone to the Haymarket, where he bad wee crowds of women who had left the casinos and cocoon rooms. These women were soliciting passenger'. its speaker afterwards went into several of the oight-house where he found more prostitutes, who accosted avenge:. Gomm who came in. Sir G. GREY said there was no doubt about the evil, Id the question was bow far the present laws were applicsine to the case, and what new laws it would be neeethry pass in order that the mil might be met. With regard the closing of houses, as the deputation suggested, the would require a modification of the existing law. .As garded the houses that were brothels, the existing law oong deal with them, and he would like to know what steps brat been taken to put those laws iu force. A member of the deputation said the holders of en min houses evaded the law by Dot taking out a license. Mr. CL,tais, of Jerniyoetreet said lie was engaged le the parish authorities in prosecuting the brothel-keeper The result was, that several of the brothels had been did 'MI and their keepers were suffering imprisonment sir G. GUT said as regarded the houses that took m licesams, their excuse, when tbey were charged with ballots liosease, thigproditates, was that they did not know it. There was a deuM they did know it. He had in one case instituted pro eseengs, and a conviction had followed. That coovictie had, however, been appealed against, and the case was Ai before the Co urt of Queen's Bauch. The Hoe. Gro. Sian said he had, as a magistrate, refuel license in severed instances, but the magistrates on tb bench at Clerkenwell sessions bad afterwards granted then. In answer to some remarks touching the licensing oyster and the polio*, tier G. Gage mid he believed the police did their data, There was no doubt that the whole licensing system mss soon come under the revision of parliament. It might at be this year, but it would be the next. At the same use he did not think anything could be done until the insvis* kakis put the present laws to the fullest extent into fan That the magistrates had not done, and he did not that any legislation could take place untils the government of how far the present law was applicable to the evils co plained of. is tk str.e ffir ts . ADAMS o.arkin co g mpli t ned th. of thbae.dalendreds drew them thmerisic p ro s together. Sir G. GMT replied that it was competent for LOCA . holders to order the bands away and to prosecute the pl , :o if they did not go. After some conversation, in which Mr. S. Moan anl others took part, Sir G. GagY mid the difficulty was that they mill , n!! deal with outward appmrances. He was sure the stay public feeling would never allow the introduction into lzs °pantry of the licensing intern, as owried on Op Or or Coml. They would, in dealing with the evil, bane submit to some inconveniences. Dr. YATES said the refreshment houses that took se: i license and had no shop were the wont. Sir G. Geer said that a conviction had been oblaln 4 against the keeper of one of these booms, and if thato'c, notion was confirmed, prosecutions would be instit spinet others. iog Sir wo l d .
