Shay, of Newest, preying that tartan possenione, to which he was entitled, might be restored to him. TELEGRAPH ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill .was read masons' time. CATTLE DISEASES BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the snood reading of th's bill, sad gave notice of his intention to propose the suspension at the mending orders, with a view that the bill might the more speedily bevene law. The Duke of BUCOLEUCH expiated his great surprise at the mods in which it was pcopoeed to deal with this bill. It was sot until the preen g that be was aware tkat the bill had left the other house of parliament, end now it wee proposed to suspend the standing orders and paw the measure with as much been through the house as the bill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act is Ireland. No previous intimation wee given of the intention of the go vernment to curry it forward with such haste. There were many points which requiredoons derstion, end there vras greet danger of making this • botched measure. Afton some remarks from the Earl of DALHOCISIZ and the Doke of Meirraealt, the standing orders were sus pended, and the house went into committee on the bill. The Duke of BUOCLEUCB proposed to strike out the sth clause, in order to substitute the justices of the peace for the commissioners of supply as the " local authority." The Duke of ARGYLL explained that the commissioners of supply had been accepted because they were the only body in Scotland who were empowered to levy rates. Earl GREY doubted whether, se the clause constituted the authority for elate( the ratepayers, it could be amended by their lordships without Infringing the privilege of the Commons. The Earl of DERBY, whilst complaining of the manner in which the bill bad been brought forweri, deprecated any step that would be likely to raise • question of privi lege between the two houses. Under these eirourostenoss, he recommended that the amendment should be with drawn. The Duke of Br/COLIMA!, acquiescing in the sug gestion, the amendment was withdrawn anordiegly. The Earl of MILLIE moved an amendment to the 12th chum, giving to the local authorities • discretionary power to slaughter or refrain from slaughtering animals certified to be recovering from disease. The proposal gave rise to some debate, in which the Duke of Argyll. the Earl of Derby, the Duke of Eichmoud, end other lords took part, and ended in • division and the re jection of the amendment by 52 to 15. An amendment proposed by the Earl of LICHFIELD, to the effect that the inspector should be required to assign • raison for entering a farmer's premises prior to hie inspection, and not afterwards, was also negatived, upon • division, by 22 to 21. The bill was reported without amendment. The preamble end the title were thee agreed to. and the bill was reed a third time and pissed, and the,hoties ad journed at two minutes past nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, FIB. 19. The Brew= took the chair at a few MinMOB to 4 o'clock. A large number of private bills wen read a moond time. lANPSTEAD, HIGH2ATF, AND CHARING-CROW BAILWAt BILL. The second reeding of this bill having been moved, 1 1 Mr. T. HUGHES moved ea an amendment that it be read asitoond time that day six mocha He said this was another awe of a railway panting through poor districts le the metropolis, in which no conspeusatiou was to be given to the poor occupants of the houses pulled down. The Lands Clauses Consolidation Act wee about as at to regu. late each mitten as an sot of the reign of Queen Elisabeth, because in 1845, when it was pawed, no one contemplated that railways would run through the metropolis. That act provided that when railway companies palled down houses, the parties should be compensated or reinstated ; bat this provision only applied to the rice. If Woe cam pmate obtained the powers they aske d for, parliament ought to insist on their treating the roor as they did the rich, and either compensating or reinstating them when their dwellings were destroyed. He intimated that he should oppose all metropolitan railway bills which did not perform this act of justice to the poor. Mr. WHITE seconded the motion. Colonel WILSON PATTEN expressed a hope that the bow member for Lambeth would withdraw his opposition to the bill. and allow it to pass the seoood reading ; and a clause might subsequently be introduced in committee making the operation of the bill subject to any general legislation that might take place hereafter. Mr. HUGHES said he accepted the seggeirtion of the hoe. and gallant member for North Lancashire. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the bill read • second time. ELECTION PETITIONS. Mr. C. FORSTER presented petitions complaining of un due returns for the city of Hereford and the borough of Carlow. And also against the return, for Davenport, Ware ham, Sandwich, sod Harwich. OPEN SPACES IN THE VICINITY OF THE METRO. POLII3. Mr. DOTJLTON gave notice of bin intestinal.° ask the rust Commissioner of Works, on Thursday next, whether he was aware of the enclosure being carried on of several hundred acres of land in Epping Forest ; whether be was aware that *94 Cowles had already enclosed 300 scree since the appointment of the commission relative to open spaces ; and whether it was the intention of her Majesty's government to take any stops to prevent any further enclo sures of land pending the mtroiuction sad passing of the bill proposed to be submitted to-parliament riskily in the present session. RAILWAY DRRILNTURES. Mr. ITANICEY asked the President of the Baud of Trade whether he intended to propose any immure this session for the registration of debentures issued by railway companies, with the view of enabling debenture bolder. or lenders of money on debentures, to aseertain whether the oompanks are in a position legally to bane such de bentures. Mr. M. OIBSON said o . :,,,A n ti so i t o which the question of hit 1.49 1 rWeriod bad hes° considered. and a measure 'was in marmot preparation for the purpose°, giving security to the public that the statutory debentures issued by rail way compaoies did not exceed the limits of the powers such companies were entitled to exercise under their acts of parliament. STATISTICS OF CATTLE. Co7onel W. PATTEN asked the President of the Board of Trade when be would be able to lay upon the table of the house information with respect to the number of cattle in the United Kingdom. He also wished to know whether the government intended to call for those returns periodi cally or not. Mr. H. GIBSON said the returns of the number of cattle in the different parishes of Greet Britain would be nude by the sth March next, by the oceapiers of laud and others. No time would be lost in making up the aggregate returns, and it was expected that they might he laid on the table immediately after the Easter noses. Those returns were vnlnntary, but from the favourable disposition that bad been evinced by magistrates, boards of guardians, and °ibex local authorities to co-operate with the Board of Trade in procuring those returns, they might not uureason ably hope that the desired information would be satiate°. tartly obtained. With regard to the second question, he would state that as the present attempt to obtain ieforma tiers well experimental, and until they had the test of exeelience, he would be enable to answer the inquiry. Major STUART asked whether the whole of the cattle in the country would be included in the returns. Mr. M. GIBSON replied that the endeavour was being made to procure returns relating to all the cattle in the country. In reply to an hoe. member behind the ministerial beadle•, Mr. GIBSON said he did not think it would be conve nient to add another column to the schedule that was about to be sect to the farmers throughout the country in order that informatioo might be procured as to the num ber of cattle in the country on the Ist of September. Whether it would be definable to have a separate return for that purpose he could not say without further con sideratioe. Mr. GREGORY Raked whether it was the intention of the government to introduce a bill applicable to Ireland on the subject of the cattle disease. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Lawson) rid a bill had been prepared on the subject, and had been that to Ireland for approval, and as non as it bad been submitted to the Lord-Lieutenant it would be laid heftlre th►t house. THE QUEEN'S ABSENCE FROM LONDON. Mr. MAIN WARING—I beg to ask why, when momenta were so precious, her Majesty was not in London to give ber royal avant to the bill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act! The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—[ think a very simple statement of the cireumetanose of the ease, which are probably within the knowledge of the house, will be the best answer to my bon. friend, as they will show that, in point of fact, there are no grounds out of which ean arise any question of this nature. The eabioet met on this subject on the Friday afternoon. They then determined to auk the house to pas a bill at a very early hour on Satur day, and at that time her Majesty was et Osborne. THE SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked whether, the royal anent baying been given to the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act on Sunday morolog, the act was Uleaal- Sir G. GREY replied that there was no law parlia mentary or otherwise which preyeeted parliament sitting on a Sunday, and emulsion might arise which would render that necessary. CATTLE PLAGUE BILL The hone having gosie into eommittee on the Cattle Plague Bill, which relates principally to the movement of asl4o, Mr. W. HUNT explained that hie object had been to en- demur to establish a code 'that would be sufficiently elastic] to apply to every (aunty is Groat Britain. The would shoo utely pr ohib it the movement of cattle on all highways, railways, rivers, and numb up to the 25th of March next — with these exceptions only, that beasts might be conveyed j along a highway from one farm to another for 200 yards where lauded from a nee -going steamer they might travel on the highway for 500 yards • and in gang j from the farm to the slaughter - ho use they mightl traverses distance on the highway not exceeding two miles. j Newly-dropped calves might be conveyed hi carts from the place in which they were bora to the farms where they were to be reared ; working oxen employed in the cultiva tion of the soil and in barna', which was some security for their being in health, might also be moved for a distance to , be specified ; and to enable emigrant and other see-going ships to get a supply of mils oil board, mita cows might be conveyed to them in covered carts. By adopt. I log these precautions he hoped the plague would be got within manageable compass by the 25 h of , March. From that date it would be necessary to still • further relax the restrictions upon the movement of cattle. Then incoming tenants took possession of their farms, and he proposed that boasts for the stocking or re stocking of farms might be moved by license at any time during 14 days from any quarter-day after public notice. I For the purposes of bresclisg a cow or heifer might be moved with a licence for any distance not exceeding three miles, and a bull 20 miles. In like manner calves might be removed provided they were sound and not more than 21 The days old. consideration of the clauses was then proceeded with. To clause 13, which prohibited absolutely the movement of cattle until the 25th of March, leaving to the government power to continue the prohibition by ceder in comma, a proviso was added that districts of not lees than 1,000 miles having borders defined by the natural features squareo the country country might be declared free trout the plague by order in council. On the clause relating to the movement of cattle on farms an amendment was introduced that they should be allowed to go over any highway for a distance of 200 yards without alkalis, and fen two miles with a license. It was further provided, on clause 16. that sound beasts intended for immediate slaughter might be removed to a slaughter house any distance not exceeding six miles. Oa reaching the 27th clause the house resumed, and the chairman reported program. - - - - . - NATIONAL DEBT BED creTrom—SA VINCE! BANKS — AND POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILLS.

Saunders' News of yesterday lays :—" The polio. arrangements is Dublin oa Saturday wet. admirable, and the aneste were made without difficalty, and without any reelstance on the part of the persons apprehended, the tone engaged in the sward captures being so strong that any attempt of the kind was at once perceived to be useless. As far as it has bees ascertained the number of arrests made in the city sad it. vicinity, including Kinptown, is about 120. Many of the prisoners are Americans, or Iriah-Americans, who have served in the Northern armies, and who, there is little doubt, came to Ireland for the purpose of leading the Fenians in the event of a rising being attempted. Among them is Oolocel Byroc, who has beet going about the country inspecting and taking plans of such of the barracks as he contrived to get admie don into. Seam fourtems American officers, it is un went off to England on Saturday night by the li d a=n host, and it is believed that their example will be fol lowed by all their fellow-coerpirators of the same clue who can evade the grasp of the police. The suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act has, therefor e s bean produc tive of go od results. It is rumoured that I numerous arrests h ave taken plum throughout the country, but no par ticulars have as yet reached us respecting them. The Dublin Fenian' are in a state of great consternation, every one expecting that his turn to be incarcerated will come next. The promptness and vigour shown by the authorities are deserving of the highest commendation, and we fully en ' dorm the troth of the remark made by the Observer, that, I in the opinion of the country at large, Lord Wodehouse will use the large powers entrusted to him with energy and with disoretioa." Dr. (Mien, in his Lenten pastoral, read in the Roman catholic , places of worship in Dublin on Sunday, refers at some length to the subjects of Oraneeism and Fonianism. In regard to the latter, he says :—" This brotherhood or society, so far from promoting the interests of the country, only tends to aggravate ite evils, checking business, in creasing pover ty , playing into the hands of Orangemee, as appears from the rejoicings of their press, and giving strength to all oar enemies. In America, indeed, some Head Ceske* and leaden of Femianigni, en riched by taxes levied on the 'implicit,- and good faith of our countrymen, have been retied to a position in which they can live splendidly, and surround themselves with the state and pomp of a mock court. But bow diffe rent thecae. in Ireland. Here those who heiveht themselves he duped by agents of the brotherhood have been left without employment, and many of them reduced to the greatest difficulties, sad even to a state of destitution. Buoyed up for • while with foolish hopes and fallacious promises, they have been used as mere tools to ex cite a popular feeling in favour of the organisatioa in America, persuading our poor countrymen that great events, wonderful revolutionary movements were impending in Ireland, and thus inducing them to part more trebly with their money. Whilst the Head Centres were thus enriched in America, their unhappy agents in Ireland, having become the victims of spies and informers, were brought before the public tri bunate, and oondetened to dreg out a miserable existence amongst felons, in all the horrors of penal servitude. The moral effect, of Yenisei= have been most deplorable. Like Ribboniam and other secret associations it is con nected with drunkenness, and it is recorded by the public press that come of the leaders, whiht inebriated, lost papers which b'trayed their sertuidt, ind left them at the Ferry of the poii.t. Il'ad not Fenisnisrn been checked in i.e destructive career, it would have deluged the country with infidelity ; sod, imitatieg Voltaire and his impious followers, it would have prepared the minds of the people for the barbarous scenes which were enacted in France in the last century." TUE Forux PRISONERS 111 LONDON.—Yesterday, in onzanince of instructioes from the Home•otfice, Sir Richard Maybe, the chief commissioner of the metropo litan police, gave orders that twenty men and a seryreant should be posted at the Model Prison, Pentonville. to aid iu guarding the Fenian prisoners confined there. The polioe were first posted there on Saturday, the duty oommencieg at six o'clock in the ' g, and terminating at six in the morning, the duty tieing divided into portions of two hours each, two constables going on at one time. A strict order has been given that no Irishman should be employed in this special duty. When the two constables who have done their turn of duty are relieved they join their cam. rades, all of whom are provided with accommodation inside the prison. ARRIVAL OF SUSPECTED PENTANE: IN LIVERPOOL. —On Saturday evening•and Sunday morning (writes our cor respondent) a large number of well-dressed and stalwart looking youmg men arrived at Liverpool by the Irish steamers. !tie believed they are members of the " Brotherhood," who are anxious to escape the clutches of the law. Some of these men have taken passages for America, others gave gone into the country, end a few remain in Liverpool. NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.—The report of the directors to the half-yearly meeting on Saturday next states that the traffic returns for the pest helf-year exhibit the following results as compered with the corm enooding period of the previous year :-1865: Passengers, 60,5771., increase 12,800 E. merchandise and minerals, 47.0921., increase 3,0.591. ; live stock, 2,1161., increase Rat. ; total, 109,7851. ; total increase, 15,9531. The large increase in the receipts from pueengers is, in a great measure, at tributable to the City Extension line, which was opened for passenger traffic in November last. The working ex penses forththe same period are 62,6794, as &cellist 51,3311. to i increased expenditure beteg chiefly caused by the additional staff required for the new line, sod the double service offtrains necessary to connect the City terminus with the stations east and west of Ralston, A half-hourly train service ham also been established over the Hampstead Junc tion and North and South Western Junction Railways, the exposers of which is considerable ; it will, however, be observed that the receipts for working those sections of the company's system arc increased by 3,3741. The passenger traffic over the City Extension line has been such as fully to bear out the original estimates, and there can be no doubt that so soon as the goods station of the London and North Western Company Is completed. the receipts from both descriptions of traffic together will secure to the pro prietors a good return, notwithstandieg the heavy coat of the line. The conditions under which the preference shares were issued provide that the interest thereon shall cot be come chargeable against revenue until after 31st December, 1865 ; and the director'', therefore, propose to carry forward • large portion of the increased receipt in anticipation of this charge, which will come into operation during the present half-year. Dividend and interest on the increased capital raised by ordinary shares and debentures have bees charged mf ain't revenue from the date of issue. After providing for debenture intermit, the net balance to the credit of revenue is 43,880/. Is. 6d., from which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, leaving a balance of 4,6851. Is. 6d. to be carried forwa rd to the current half-year. Several bills affecting the interests of this company are promoted is parliament during the present session, and are receiving the attention of the board. Resolutions will be submitted for the sanction of the proprietors to the issue of the additional capital, 150,0001., authorised by the company's acts of 18 6 4 an d 1863, which it is proposed to raise by Pane of ordinary shares, to be offered in the first instance to the holders of other stook in the company, the amount to be called up from time to time, as may be requirid. - OETNTAL PAL AU& --• ON.

DEPUTATION TO EARL RUSSELL. A deputation, nominated at a public meeting held in Glasgow on the 25th of last month, waited by appoint ment yesterday on Earl Russell, in Downing-street, to pre sent a memorial in favour of parlianernery reform. The deputation was headed by Mr. Dalglish, M.P., and was accompanied by Admiral Erskine ; Mr. Berm, M.P. ; Mr. hrlaren, M.P. ; Mr. Cradled, Y.P. ; Mr. Grehare, M.P.; Mr. Potter, M.P.; Colored Sykes, M.P.; and the Hon. A. Kinnard. M.P. ; and amonpt the deputies were Mesas. Gov's, Craestown, Campbell, Muir, Pearson, kc. Mr. DALT/USN, M.P., introduced the deputation, which he said had emanated from a public meeting held in Glasgow, at which 3,000 people of all classes attended. The memorial which at their request he presented to his lordship prayed for the early introduction of • measure of reform, which should include • large extension of the fran chise both in counties and boroughs--a more equal distri bution of seats, and attention to the claims of Scotland for • more equal representation as compared with the rest of the United Kingdom than she now enjoyed. Mr. GOVIN, a member of the deputation and • working letter-press printer, as appointed to represent the claims of the industrial orders of Glasgow. urged in • forcible speech the grounds on which the class he represented founded their demand, via, intelligence, industry, thrift, love of order, and attachment to the institutions of the country. As • compromise he said the working men would be willing to accept a 101. beeches for counties and a 61. hunches for boroughs, with a redistribution of seats. Mr. Oaadirrowet, another representative of the work ing dame, followed, urging the great importance of a re distribution of seats, pointing oat the anomaly of giving to 300 people the power of returning as many representa tives as 300,000. The frequent disappointments which the working claws had experienced on the subject of reform had driven them to self-legislation, and hence the trades unions and other associations by means of which they had succeeded in reducing their hours of labour, and raised their rate of wages, things which at we time they thought the government could do for them, but which now they found could be more effectually done by themselves. What had produced and perpetuated the alienation of classes was that the working people were as • rule treated as nobodies by the governing powers, although in feat they were the great producers of the wealth of the nation. There could be no valid objection to an ex tension of the franchise on the ground that the working men who would be thus admitted were ignorant or ill-con ducted. The working people of the United Kingdom were for the most pert intelligent and a reading people. In France we knew that the franchise had been allowed to people not so intellipent, sad in America to people of certainly not superior intelligence, and why the same political rights should not be extended to the same clamed here they could not understand. Mr. ClaurancL, who next spoke in support of the me morial, pointed out the opportuneness of the period—the government being strong in • large parliamentary majority, sod in the coofidemos of the people, for carrying out • large measure of reform. He strongly insisted upon a redistri bution of ease as essential in any nth measure. Mr. Mum another member of the deputation, stated that although the opinion of the majority of the people of Glasgow wont much farther, they were willing to accept • 6/. rental suffrage for boroughs , and a WI. suffrage for counties, together with s redist ribution of mato, as • com promise, In reference to the latter point he asked what could be more unjust than that Andover and Thetfordorith 5034de:tors together, should return four members to he rmit, while Glasgow with 16,000 electors should only rears two. Mr. ()Renew, M.P., contended for a reduction of the freathise Sc the point indicated ander any circumstance. The redistribution of seats, he admitted, meat be a matter of parliamentary tactics, and added that the confidence of the country was so great in the noble Premier that what ever he might think prudent under the circumstances as to any change in this reaped the public would no doubt accept. He trusted Earl Russell's government would not, for their own credit's sake, introduce a narrow or illiberal reform bill. Yr. DUNLOP, M.P., in supporting the prayer of the me morial, premed another from the electors of Greenock to the same effect. Hs observed that while his constituents might be disposed to show some forbearance in regard to the redistribution of seals, they would show none in refe rence to the reduction of the franchise to the 61. rental in boroughs and the 101. in counties. Mr. li'Larm, M.P., contended generally for the prayer of the memorial, and for • larger share of representative power foe Scotland, in proportion to her increased popula tion, wealth and importance. Mr. Came EWING. ILP., observed that at a meeting held In Paisley resolutions in favour of • 61. borough and M. county [reaches had been adopted. Colonel Svgs, M.P., on the pert of the electors of Aber deen, said that nothing short of • comprehensive measure of reform, combining • reduction of the franchise and a re distribution of seats, would, he believed, satisfy them. Earl RUSHES replied nearly as follows :--Gentlemen, I have listened with great attention to the observations you have madle,and I have first to say, in endeavouring to make some remarks in reply, that it will not be in my power, nor would it be ormsetent with my duty to state to you the nature of the measure that will be introduced at the proper time by the proper organ of the government in the House of Coalmine on the subject of parliamentary reform. I may say further that any measure we may feel it oar duty to introduce will be founded not upon what may have been done in other countries—in Prince or'in the United States. Without discussing at all the value of the institutions which the people of France may pores% or the people of the United States, I think it becomes us, having had a re preseatative constitution for now 600 years, in any amendment' we may make in that old representative con stitution, not to throw aside all that oar ancestors have pined for na, or all that experience has taught us, not to go to foreign nations or to any theoretical model for • plan Of t Mpreseutative 9714.03 s or TO depart from our own laws, our own traditions,and oar own habits. As to this ,Inettion of reform, you will, lam sure, agree with me that there are many elements which most be considered. Numbers must be considered, property must be considered, intelligence must be considered. And not only these, but local circum stances mast likewise betaken into account. If, for instance, we were to make a plan of representation entirely teed upon numbers, and to give to each place what those num bers required, this great metropolis would have about as many members as the whole kingdom of Scotland. But considering how identical the interests of this great metro polis are with those of the country at large, sad bow various are the interest* to be represented in Scotland, such an arrangement would be anything but a fair representation of the people of the United Kingdom. But we ere not, as I have stated, to deal with any theoretical plan, bat must consider the present state of affairs. In 1830 and 1831, when Lord Grey made his proposition to parliament on the subject of reform, the abuses then exist ing were so gross and an glaring that immedi ately the subject was broached by a government with the authority of the crown there ran all through the nation a flame of enthusiasm which was sufficient to carry the proposal of the government. But in thee days there were such places as Gallon and Old Sarum, which, without any inhabitants in fact, or at all events practically without any inhabitants, were entitled to send members to parlia ment, while Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and the other great and populous manufacturing towers, had no members at all ; and this was so obvious and striking • defect that the people, when the matter was shown to them by the government, at once agreed to reform that state of things. The present state of affairs, however, is totally different. Whatever defects there may be they are not so glaring or so obvious, and is there aro evils to be remedied they are different in degree, if not altogether different in type. It has seemed to me for some years, that, considering what we did in 1832, it is an obvious, and, I should say, • very pressing defect is the present system, that the skilled artisans in our towns—men who are both numerous, and who have property sad in telligenoe--are to so great a degree excluded from the power of electing members. (Hear, hear.) lam convinced, although the opposite proposition has been maintained —I am convinced that the assertion that any skilled artizan in any of our towns might, if he were industrious and prudent, pay 101. • year for his house, and thus obtain the franchise, is erroneous. I can easily imagine that a man who receives good wages, but who wishes to give to his family that amount of food and clothes which is necessary for them, and to provide for his children that edu cation which it befits him to give if he be • decent, well conducted member of society, cannot afford to pay 101. a year for his house in addition to those expenses. But I am not going to discuss with you the question of the franchise. I have heard with attention your observations in favour of • 61. franchise for boroughs and • 101. imitable' for counties, because this is evidently • matter that mart be carefully considered by those who will have to frame the measure which it will become the duty of the govern ment to submit to parliament. Nor am I here to state the kind of measure that I. about to be introduced. With re gard to the other question that has been touched upon, the redistribution of seats, that is one on which there is much to be said; but I must say it does not appear to me that the defect is so obvious that it immediately requires • remedy. It is, besides, • question of very considerable difficulty. When Lord Derby's government introduced a bill to amend the representation of parliament, they proposed that a member should be taken from each of 15 boroughs and apportioned amongst the counties and other populous places. But that, I think, would hardly be maddened a proposal likely to form • permanent settlement of the question. If on the other hand, lewe were to govery far,and say that the number of the representatives should in every case be fitted exactly to the number of the population, that would be so great a change that it would be entirely out of the question to expect to carry such a measure in parlia ment. Without saying, then, whether it would be advan tageous or mischievous, I would simply remark that it would be useless to propose such • measure in the hope that it would be carried. Bat on this part of the question, as well as upon the ether, I do not intend tem to say anything definite, for you will be aware that while we are considering the measures we may fed it to be our duty to suMaitio parliament, we have a right, and it is our duty, to reserve oar opinion+ to our selves. I remember that I said in the Bose of Oommons on one commies that we were like bees working in a glass , hive, all our proceeding and debates being open to the public eya But I have since observed that bow in aOm hive ta ke -the precaution to oover over the transparent glen with wax, so that nobody can see what they ere doiag while they me at work. Sthink the bees are wise in this, and I think we do well in imitating their example, by reserving oar intentions, and continuing to work in secret until the day comes when the result of our labours le in a fit state to lay before parliament sod the country. (Bear, acid • laugh.) The deputation then thanked the noble earl for the courtesy with which be hod remind them, and retired. *parting intelligence. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAT. There wan • very faint muster at Knightsbridge this I I afternoon, several of whom were attracted by the intik& paced doings on the Liverpool Handicap. For this event Copenhagen bad been such a tremendous favourite for days previously that it was hardly expected the fresh coma:ia mbi°s in his favour this womb!' could possibly be execrated ; but such was the sanguine disposition of backers, to • man, that they very speedily dried up all the available maw at 3 to 1 (and soon afterwards 5 to 2), both at the Albert and the Victoria Clubs. The former club has the advantage of the " Vic.," inasmuch se it is the resort of the "early birds," for before midday, and while the balls of the Victoria are still empty, the members of the City rendezvous are in the midst of heavy_specniatioa. Thus it may happen that transactions in Wellingtonetreet may be but the fag-ends of an important "commission' in favour of or . againet cer tain salmis.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER-Ir= 19. 99itsgr at NW Priam at GnildhalL—(Before Lord Chid Baron Pollock and a Sptal Jury.) I, AND RAILV4T COMPANi. This was an action to recover damages for delay in the delivery of carcase% of sheep, which had been sent from Hull to the London market. The defendants, with regard to one transaction, paid 101. into court, which the plaintiff admitted was a sufficient sum; and, with respect to others, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q. 0.. Mr. Joyce, and Mr. W. Bar nard appealed. for the *Raiff ; and Mr. Residue, Q. 0., and Mr. Mellor, for the defendants. Mr. Seymour, in opening the ease, said the plaintiff was a carcase butcher, at Hull, and was in the habit of sending large quantities of meat to the London market. Previous to 1864, the plaintiff and other persons in the sante trade sent th eir meat to the metropolis by the North Eastern Railway, but great complaints having arisen from the delay in its delivery, the defendants gave notice to the butchers d Hull that they would offer greater facilities for the conveyance of meat, sod guarantee its arrival in time for market. The result was that the plaintiff and other butchers in the town transferred their patronage to the defendants, whose line TUBS from New Holland, on th e south of the Humber, to Grimaby,where it joins tits Great Northern Railway. The defendants pat on • 'pedal boat to take the meat asses the river in the afternoon so es to reach Grimsby in time for the 7 o'clock passenger train which reaches London between half-put 3 and 4 in the morn ing. If the train was not delayed the meat would arrive he impieties* for Newgate end Lesdenhall markets, which com mence in summer at half-past 4, and in winter at 6 in the morning, and close about 8. The brat of the oossignments in question consisted of 24 carcases of sheep, which ware sent on the 21st of August last year, and did not reach the market until U o'clock, when they bad to be sold at a saciridoe. In respect of this consignment the defendants had paid the 101. into court. The plaintiff claimed da mages as to four other consignments, which did not reach the market until periods varying from 10 to 12.o'cleck. The learned counsel added, that the delay arose on the line of the Great Northern Railway Company, with whom the de fendants bad traffic arrangements, and who he believed were the substantial defendants. Mr. Kiley, a salesman in Neite-market, and Mr. Jeffreys, another salesman in lienhall-market Proved the late delivery of the caresses, and said that in coupe queue of their arriving after the principal business of the market was over, they had to lie sold at a lose, which varied from • far thing to a penny per lb. Similar testimony was given by other witnesses. The plaiotiffs total claim amounted to 351. in addition to the money paid into court. It appeared that ono of the conditions on the printed consignment was that the company would not undartake to deliver the goods for a particular market. On the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence, Mr. Hawkins submitted that no c asesd bees made ont. The Lord Chief Baron thought t was no evidence t. the special contract sat up to deliver in time for market. He thought wined the conditions in the eonsignment note were unreasonable, because the company could not relieve themselves from the liability attaching to all that might happen. but it was not unreasonable to refuse to guarantee that the goods should arrive for any particular market. His lordship then intimated that he should direct a verdict for the defendants ; but the plaintiff elected to be non suited, and he was consulted accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Marti* Brown, 35, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences, from lame Borrow, • piaoette, value 301., the property of Messrs. Cramer and Company (Limited), with intent to defraud. There was • second indictment against him for obtaining chandeliers, brackets, and glasses, value 901. 65., the property of David Hulett and Co., with intent to defraud. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; the prisoner wee undetesded. It appeared that, on the 7th of November, the prisoner went to the establishment of Misers. Cramer and Company (Limited), in Regentotreet, and selected a pianette, for which he was to pay 301. cash. He gave his refe rence to his beakers premises, " The Anglo-Baltic Machinery Company, by . Royal Appointment, High street, Southwark, ' and his private residence. " Fliot-house, Arundel-road, Decking.' He ordered the *no to be seat to Decking, and the invoice to the Anglo- Baltic Company, to which the prisoner said be was agent. After the instrnmeot bad been sent application was made at the address given for yment, but it turned oat that the " Anglo-Baltio Machiery Company" was all • sham, there was no machinery there, and the piece was va cated altogether. As regarded "Flint-house, Dorking,' at the time the piano was obtained the prisoner had DO residence in Dorking, but some days afterwards it turned oat that the prisoner took lodgings at Flint Cottage, and as soon as the piano was received *eras man came with • tart and took it away, and it had never been heard of since. These facts were proved by several witnesses, aad they were cross-examined by the prisoner with considerable effrontery, and putting a number of questions quite irre levant to the inquiry. John IrDercoott, warder at Portland Prison, said the prisoner was received into that prison on the 19th of April, 1861, under a sentence of penal servitude, and he was discharged on the 25th of September last, there being then two months of his sentence unexpired. He was convicted for forgery. The prisoner made a locg address to the jury, stating that he was entirely innocent of any intention to defraud ; that be was a civil engineer, and was nephew of the in ventor of the calorie engine. The Assistant-Judge summed up the evidence, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Poland then said there wee a second indictment against the prisoner for obtaining • quantity of gas fittings from Mr. Hulett, a gas engneer, in High Holborn, which were also sent doom to Dorking. The learned counsel then read a letter received from • companion of the prisoner, dated from Havre, stating that he was very happy in being able to leave England behind him, and advising him (the prisoner) to be careful sod follow him as soon as possible. The itinistant-Judge sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for five years. THE POLICE COURT& CLERKENWELL. William George Owen, a miserable, dirty-looking boy, who gave his age as 15, and described himself as having neither home nor occupation, was °barged before Mr. Barker with being found wandering about without visible means of sub sistence, at Old-street. St. Luke's. Police -constable Robert Boulby, 145 0, said—On Satur day eight the defendant came to the police-station at Old street, and said he wanted • lodging, and added that be bad been to the workhouse, and that there they bad re fused to take him in. After the defendant had seen the inspector, he was sent to St. Luke's Workhouse, and again being refused admission, be came back to the policarstatioe. He was then sent to the Refuge in Playhouse-yard, and there was refused admission for the night, the reason given by the authorities there being that the prisoner had slept there the night previous. The prisoner again returned to the police-station, and na the night was cold, and as neither rue officers at the St Luke's workhouse, nor those at the refuge would take i• the unfortunate boy, the police charged him with wander ing about without any visible means of subeirtesee, and he was then supplied with a bed and also with food, not only on Saturday night, but on Sunday and yesterday. The unfortunate boy, in answer to questions from the court, said that be bad a father but so mother. He did not know where his father was, for some time since his father left him, telling him that be was going into the country, and that be most do the best he could. He belonged to the pariah of St. Luke, as his father, when he went into the country and deserted him, resided in Baldwin-street, St. Luke's. He, the boy, bad been wandering the streets ever since, snd be obtained his livelihood by singing ballads and holding horses. The police, in answer to Mr. Barker, said they did not know anything apinst the boy. Mr. Barker said it was a case for the workhouse autho ' rities to deal with, and directed that the unfortunate boy should be taken by the police to St. Luke's workhouse. If , the authorities did not take him in, the boy had better be brought back to the court. It was afterwards reported that the boy had been taken I in by the workhouse authorities. 8017THWARIL - - - George Brietotoe, a well known character connected with a gang called the Long firm, who formerly kept a coffee house in Duke-street, London-bridge, and has been lately victimising tradesmen under the name of Tirrell and Bel loo, was brought before Mr. Wontner for further examina tion, charged with obtaining five casks of butter under false pretences from Mr. Beer, wholesale cheesemonger, High-street, Borough, a quantity of china from Messrs. De rise, Commercial-street, Whitechapel, and goods of almost every description from other tradesmen in all parts of the metropolis. Mr. Woather, jun., attended to prosecute, and Mr. L. Lewis defended the prisoner. The court was crowded with tradesmen who had been victimised. Mr. Wontner mid that the prisoner was committed for trial on Wednesday last for obtaining the butter from Mr. Beer, but owing to other ewes coming to the knowledge of the officer (Brooklet), 157 Id), the prisoner wee remanded for further investigatioe. Since the last examination, a report of the proceedings had appeared in one of the daily newepapers,and in consequence of that there were at least ten similar charges against him 'in addition to the others. It may be recollected that on Monday evening, the sth lost., the prisoner west to Mr. Beer's warehouse, and told that gentleman that he had carried on business at 43 yen -street. Clare-market, for the last eleven months, and he selected eve casks of better, value 1131. 5a., requesting it to be gent to the shove shop ' for cash on delivery. The butter was sett, when he pro ' milted to send the money the next day. Failing to do that, Mr. Beer went to Vere-street, and saw the prisoner, and on asking for the money he laughed at him, and told him to do his worst, as he should not pay him. Mr. Beer, how- ever, mired his baiter a- t Irk it sway ;en tkoowlee tb e prisoner to Do ea old awiodle•, he *bland a •artasy ad espied his soprolteadon.
