GARIBALDI AT BRDIPORD. Within a short distance of the Bedford Station ef the Midland Railway an almost palatial edifice of the Italian style arrests the eye of the passing traveller. If it stood in the middle of a noble park, surrounded by " tall ancestral trees," it might pass , very we ll for one of the country seats of the old nobility." But it has been raised close to a town, Las °bunnies taller, and, as a general rule, more smoky than is consistent with the picturesque, whilst through its open portals incessantly come the deep hum of steam-power and the more varied I sounds of human industry. tis the factory of the Messrs. Howard, devoted to the construction of agricultural implements of every kind, but more especially of steam ploughs, for which those gentle men have obtained many medals and high repute tioo. It was this factory and these famous steam ploughs which General Garibaldi went down to see yesterday morning, a special train having been placed at his disposal by the directors of the Midland Company. The party, consisting of General Garibaldi, his two sons, his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, Lord A. L Gower, Lord Alfred Paget, Mr. M'Connel, Colonel Pearl, General Eber, Alderman Mechi, and one or two other friends, were received on the King's-cross platform by Mr. Allport, general manager of the Midland line, and were imme diately accommodated in saloon carriages, which Mr. Mills, the station-master, had provided ready for their reception. The train, which consisted of three saloon carriages, and one or two ordinary first-elare carriages for the reporters and railway officials, started at thirteen minutes past ten o'clock, and arrived at Bedford at eighteen minutes past eleven, having performed the whole distance, 491 miles, in an hour and five minutes. The engine, being gaily decorated with evergreens, attracted the attention of various groups of rustics along the route, but beyond the pause necessary for slaking the thirst of the iron horse, there was no stoppage between London and Bedfo rd. At the latter place it was found that the Messrs. Howard had erected a special platform opposite their own works for the Generals' visit, and this was most elaborately deco- rated with all the foliage of the spring. A tre mendous piece of bunting stretched across the top, with the motto, " Welcome Garibaldi the brave and good," and flags of the Italian tricolour com pleted the decorations. Messrs. J. and R. Howard, the proprietors of the works, the former the Mayor of Bedford, received General Garibaldi, and as soon as the latter could get away from his local friends, conducted him to the works. We mention local friends, for it soon appeared that the public ' enthusiasm in favour of the General was quite as ' strong in the little town of many grammar schools ' as it had previously been shown to be in the great metropolis. The platform was occupied with ladies And gentlemen of both town and country, and out side the road was densely filled by a crowd which evidently looked upon cheering as the great buil nem of life. The men on the platform were forbear ing enough as to the hand-shaking persecution, but I the ladies were not so easily put off, but insisted one ' and all upon shaking hands with the General, and I many of them seemed as if they would willingly have gone the length of a more affectionate saluta tion. Not a few of the younger ones were particular 4 in their inquiriee as to " which was the Duke of Sutherland," and on his grace being pointed out to them, &profuse waving of white handkerchiefs broke 1 out all over the platform. A full hour was devoted to the inspection of the . factory interior, and it was a remarkable proof of the discipline maintained there, or of the good taste of the men or loth, that not one of the whole five hundred artisans employed by Messrs. Howard raised his head from his bench, or interrupted his work for a moment, to stare at the passing General, , or to seek to wring his hand, London fashion. , Everything was shown to him, and to everything he paid minute attention, asking pertinent questions, and otherwise exhibiting great interest in the work. , He watched the smiths, and the joiners, and the moulders, and whilst looking at the latter he had , explained to him Mr. Howard's new and ingenious system of moulding, which is a great practical improvement on the plan hitherto in use. He did not ask many questions, but was , especially curious as to the rates of wages, first in the works, and then in the surrounding agr icultural districts. When told that Messrs. Howard's men , earned from 30s. to 50s. a week, whilst the labourers of the country districts had to be content with 12e., he made one or two animated observa tions in his native language to the Indiana who stood near him. When the inspection was finished, the carriages drew up at the door, and the party proceeded to the residence of Mr. James Howarl, the mayor, where a luxurious luncheon had been ' prepared. The crowds in the t.treet were now I greater than ever, and it seemed as if the whole • 15,000 people of which the population of Bedford consists had turned out to greet the Liberator of Italy. It is well known that one of the brightest fee tuns in General Garibaldi's character, and thatoue which especially endears him to the representatives of the press, is hie abhorrence of long speeches. His words are few, although always to the purpose, and be not only practices brevity himself, but also infuses what is most truly stated to be " the soul of wit" into others. At the luncheon the elder Mr. Howard, the father of the two enterprising brothers of the factory, expressed, in few but touching words, his admiration of Garibaldi as the friend of liberty, wished him every earthly blessing, and stated how proud he was to have lived to see such a compliment paid to the General by his (Mr. Howard's) sons. An adjournment was then moved and carried to Mr. James Howard's model farm at Hoo, the General going in the Mayor's carriage, followed by a number of other carriages ; then a smart cavalcade of horsemen, and lastlytbe whole popula tion of the town, who evidently would never tire of cheering and foll owing Garibaldi. En ?vete to the farm the cavalcade had to pass under a triumphal arch, which had exhausted all the skill of the local deco rators, and here the illustrious visitor was pre sented with the borough address, which was read by the Mayor, his worship and the Corporation all wearing their municipal robes. The G0131,1.1'1 curiously inspected the stock at the farm, and then proceeded to the field where the steam plough, Messrs. Howard's great speciality, wa s a t f u ll work. In order that he might follow the plough up and down the furrows, which it was making so well and rapidly and with such mathematical accu racy, he was provided with a small pony, which of course will be "Garibaldi" for the rest of its natural life, and thus mounted he made himself master of all the working details of the invention. The programme of the visit being now exhausted, General Garibaldi and his friends returned to the railway platform, where the gaily-decorated engine was snorting its impatience, and the train was all ready to convey him back to town. The crowd still gathered round and cheered more vociferously than ever, the last shout given, just as the train moved away, being " Three cheers for the Duke of Sutherland." At King's-cross, both on the arrival and de parture of General Garibaldi, every avenue leading to the railway station was thronged with people, and the anxiety to see and shake hands with the General was demonstrated with much less reserve by the London public, than was exhibited down at Bedford, where the townspeople were considerate as well as enthusiastic, and did not seem to expect Garibaldi to be a sort of modern Scsevola, ready to sacrifice his right hand merely as a patriotic demonstration. Garibaldi returned to Stafford-house at 5 o'clock, and a couple of hours later proceeded, in company with the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Albert Leveson Gower, and General Eber, to the residence of Mr. Panizei, at the British Museum, where he dined with that gentleman. The following were present to meet the general :—The Earl of Shaftes bury, Lord Wo&house, Lord Frederick Cavendish, the - Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir John In consequen3a of the announcement in several of our contemporaries that General Garibaldi would visit the Houses of Lords and Commons Let evening, a large number of persons congre gated in the expectation of seeing him. Many were, however, doomed to disappointment, for the rumour 1/1118 without foundation. This evening the general will dine with Viscount THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 16 , and Viscountess Palmerston, and a select party will afterwards assemble. Oa Tuesday evening General Garibaldi vill visit her Majesty's Theatre. The opera will be Luoweria Borgia, and between the acts Signor Arditi's Canto Popolare and Garibaldina will be performed. As a /Mak, a new ballet by Signor Magri, entitled Brim al Arianna, will be produced. WORKING Mar's DIPITSKTION. Yesterday mem* at six o'clock Muses. Hartwell, Cramer, and Odgers (Mr. Potter being unavoidably absent), deputed by • the Working Men's llamption Committee, waited by ap pointment on Gemara Garibaldi at Stafford-home, for the purpose of inviting him to a .oink intended to be gives by the working men of Loodoe, and to which Signors /fascist and Saffi would also be invited. The General received the deputation in the most warm and and affectionate manner, and heartily thanked the working men for the glorious re ception they had given to him on Monday last. He said nothing would give him so mach pleasure as to be able to accept the invitation given to him, but unfortunately the whole of his time was filled up to the date of his leaving London on Friday next to fulfil his provincial arrangements. ii, however, he was able to re turn to London before &partial; from England, he should be delighted to accept the invitation. He was a son of the people, and his whole heart was with them. He enured the deputation that he would if poinible return to London, if it was only for the purpose of meeting the working men as proposed. The General then entered into a long non versation with the deputation on meow subjects, and concluded by expressing his strong desire to visit the brewery of Mears. Barclay sod Perkins, and see the work men employed in that establishment. The deputation at once offered to place themselves in communication with that firm, an offer which was accepted by the general. The deputation then left, having thanked the general for his kind reception, and proceeded to the brewery, where, having communicated to the manager the desire of the general, one of the partners proceeded to &afford•hoese, for the purpose of giving him a formal invitation, and it was arranged that he should visit the establishment this (Saturday) morning, at as hour when the majority of the ono would be on the premises. The general appeared highly delighted with the prospect of the visit. He will be accompanied by the working men's deputation end some members of his mite. Tas VISIT TO TIM CAMAS, PILIACZ. —The 17nited Sablieeeption Committee met last evening at the Crystal Palace, to receive the add:woes to be presented on Mosdal next, and, is conjunction with Mr. Bewley, the manager, to complete the arrangements for the fries of to-day and Monday. About thirty address were received by the committee up to last night, with notices of many smote to be seat in this day. Amonpt those sent in were ad dresses from the towns of Dover, Woolwich, Maidstone, the boroughs of Marylebone and Lambeth, the Universal League, London Mechanics' Institution, the Polhill., Gonna; and Swiss residents in London, the Temperance Society, several Working Men's Clubs, lic. These addrimete will be presented by deputations of mix persons, in the order in which they were received, and will occupy almost an hour and a half. It has bean erroneously stated that the General would leave the Palace at an early boar, to meet the mem bers of the House of Commas at Mr. Seely's house, but he is not expected to leave the Palace until dusk, that he may receive as many of the people es possible. The General, on his route to the Palace this day, will pay a short visit to Mr. Anderson, one of the directors, and also a director of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, ft= whom be Me received so much courtesy. The preparations for the reception at the Crystal Palace were completed last night, b►rriers being erected for the various claws of reserved acts aerate the nave and cen tre transept. The whole of the Handel orohmtra, except that portion occupied by the band and chores, as well as the greater portion of the area in front of it, hoe been filled with reserved seats. The concert will commence at half past two ; the Mabee presentation immediately after the concert ; to be followed, hall an hour later, by a good dis play of the fountain.. General Garibaldi will arrive at the Palace by • private route, and ample police accent modatiog has been made for tha urea's/gent of carriages. The Addresses Committee for Monday sat on persoeutence at the Palace, and late last night intimated that they would be prepared to receive addresses if furnished with • notice by telegram up to four o'clock this day. Reserved mats for Monday, oo the great orchestra, will be issued this morning at Exeter•hall only. The whole of the floor of the building, except a small portion in front of the dais, will be open to the public. The principal railway companies will ran ex cursioos trains to the Palace, and extra trains front all the metropolitan lines leading to the Palace. Tag PROVINCX4.—A meeting, convened by the Mayor, was held in the committee room of the Town Hall, Birmingham, yesterday, of persons "desirous of so. operating with the General Purposes Committee of the Town Council, for making the iseceesary arranpmeate for the reception of General Garibaldi on his visit to the borough." The Mayor presided, and on the motion of Mr. Alderman Hawk's, seconded by Mr. John Ratcliffe, it wee resolved " That a general committee be now appointed to be milted with the General Purposes Committee of the Council, in making arrangements for the reception of General Garibaldi, with power to add to their umber." A very numerous committee was afterwards named. The Roman catholic. of Liverpool are manifesting symptoms of oppositioa to Garibaldi, but the workmen are determined to overawe any party feeling by organising an immense pro oession and taking more effectual means of silencing the malcontents if they do not behave themselves. On Thurs day evening a meeting was held., and it was decided to form a couimittee composed of representatives from the various local organisation* of working men in order to arrange a precession as an escort for the General. It is un derstood that • sum of money will be raised by the sale of commemorative cards., which will be handed over to Gen. Garibaldi as an addition to the Roman Venetian Fond. The rival partite at Maocheater anxious to honour Gari baldi have both reason to be satiated. While the general told the depu:stMo from the corporation that he had pre viously Imo - opted the boapitality of Mrs. Schwabe during his stay at 'Manchester, be accepted the invitation of the corporation to a dejener at the Town-hall. The reception committee who forwarded the first invitation ware to have a meeting yesterday evening, to determine on a pro gnininie of the proceedings for the public eremi tism. He is expected to arrive on Saturday week and stay till Monday evening or Tuesday. Meetings have also been held at Brighton, Norwich, Not tingham, and other towns, at which addressee and finite tithe to the General "rem adopted. An enthuanistio meet ing was held in Newcastle on Thursday evening, to initiate arrangements for the reception of Garibaldi oe his arrived is that town. Mr. Joseph Cowes, jun., presided, sad gentlemen of various political shades took part in the proceedings, several members of the corporation being also present. As at present arranged, a banquet to the General will constitute one of the principal features of the programme, other details being reserved for future consideration. EXPECTED \ - I IT OF GENERAL GARIBALDI TO OIFOILD.—We are authorised to state that, in compliance L with a requisition, signed by gentlemen of all shades of opinion in the town council, the mayor has convened a special meeting of that body for Monday next, to vote an address to Geo. Garibaldi, and invite him to visit Oxford. We believe we are justified in stating that the invitation, when presented, will be cheerfully accepted. Some of the principal friendly and benevolent societies are anxious to join in any general movement to give the great Italian liberator a huorty and gratifying reception, and we are satisfied that both the city and ueiversity will join hand in ; hand to ensure for the general a real English welcome. ; While the metropolis and the greet manufacturing and , commercial towns throughout the kingdom are preparing to do him honour, it is right and fitting that this ancient , city and university should join in the demonstrations in 3 favour of the most distinguished and pure-hearted patriot of modern times.—Ozfoot Chronicle.

The Earl of LIJCAN moved for a return of the strength of the reserve force, and in so doing directed attention to the fact that the period of service of a large portion of the I army would expire in the present and years. ' He wished to brow what steps bad bees taken to Induce the men to reenlist; for he believed that se many as 10,000 men ware entitled to their discharge this year, and about 8,000 next year, and be thought the military authorities might fled t he mselves placed in a very serious position if something were not done to provide ter the emergency. Earl DE GREY and RIPON wee unable to give any mace information upon the !abject, though he had the means of furnishing an approximate statement. In 1860, the number of men who had oemplreed their period of service was 7,335, of whom 4,535 re-enlisted, Maths: ai r: l ;l Res al 2,800. The number now entitled to their wee about 10,000, of whom there would probably be a los of 4,000 ; bat to 'apply an additional indomment to re enlistment he proposed to increase the bounty 11. The government were satisfied that the Enlistment Act had effected the object for which it was designed ; they bad, therefore, no intention to make any alteration, whilst they were quite ready to listen to any suggestion for an improve meet. The Earl of DALHOUSIE was gl►d to hew that the act bad worked satisfactorily. Ii was he who had introduced it, sad he had done so with the emotion of the late Duke of Wellington, who bad supported it at every dep. SETTLED ESTATES ACTS AMENDMENT BILL.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-41,1DAY, Aran. 15. Th. Spurn took the chair shortly Wore 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. FarwicK took the oaths and hit seat on hie election for the borough of Lowder. Mr. ben A. A. WITH asked by what authority all them plane lad Mr. COMR .d. said it was stet usual to offer payment to gentlemen who were kind enough to mount to act as judges to such matters, aid it would be going out of the ordinary course to press uncut up= dem With 'spud so the other quatioo, he thought it was his duty seadministeriag the affain of the Board of Works to endeavour to persuade the architects who wen disposed to make designs to favour him with the 111111111011111 of their iogeaaity sad shill. and to Pi those designs for the • tion of the boon. r., r. WALPOLE wished to ask two questions, namely, whether the government proposed to submit to the boom their plane for a natural history collection ; sod if so, how soon ; and whether those plans would be submitted to the house before any steps were taken to provide a building for the reception of that collection. Mr. WPER was unable to state at what particular time the matter would be bravest before the house. Mr. B. COCHRANE wished to know whether the right hon. gentleman had come to any decision with respect to Mr. COWPER .id he believed that before lung he should be able to lay on the table an intimate for areatieg a national gallery on the site of the garden of Burlington house. Meat, hear.) THE ARMSTRONG GUNS. Mr; BERKELEY said that ea the Armstrong breech. loading guns, constructed by Sir William Armstrong and DOW under trial at Shoeburyness, were made chiefly of solid Moan of mild steel (tempered in oil), and consmosetly totally different from the service gang which they were considered to represent, he wished to ask the Under-Secre tary of State for War whether it wee the intention of the War-odioe to institute any and what trial of the Armstrong guns as at present employed in her Majestfe service, it being evident, from Admiral Roper's report, that some trial was urgently needed. The Marquis of EIARTINGTON mild only say that be should be very glad to eater more folly into a discussion of these points when the house went into committee on the army estinudea. The Armstrong guns now under trial at Shoebto7nese were, with some very trifling alterations, the same pas ma were in the service. The guns in the service were constructed of barrels of steel strengthened with bands. The trial of the Armstrong gun was intended to be • trial between the Armstrong and the service gun or the Whilmeth and the service gun. The object was to dimmer whether Sir W. Armstrong or Mr. Whitworth turned out the best gun. In reply to the last pert of the question, he meld only my that the service guns were now undergoing • trial, and reports of the remits were f urnished M cli yt c rthe Hass Guards. ASSIZE TOWN FOR THE WEST RIDING. Colopal EDWARDS, is the absence of Sir J. Hay, &eked the Secretary of State far the Home Department whether he would lay upon the table of the house a copy of the letter from the chairman of the West Riding Quarter Samions ae rLeently held at Pootefmee, acid of the resolution ea the subject of the arise town for the West of Yorlothire. Sir G. GREY had DO objection fo ley • copy of the document in question on the table. DOCKYARD LABOURERS. Sir A. BULLER asked the Secretary of the Admiralty whether ►he government intended doing anything towards the relief of the labourers in the several public dockyards, who were at present paid at a rate ooesiderably below the ordinary market value of labour. Lord 0. PACET said Were was so intention to increase the pay of the laboarers in her Majesty's dockyards. He might slate that the Admiralty were already @imaged in carrying out a limited system of building certain ships by piecework, as recommeaded by the committee on dockyards; and if the artificers need great exertions they would be able to receive somewhat higher pay. The labourers would also participate in the same advantages. PRIVATE . BUIENESS.. The Hamilton Urethane end Calerlouian Railway Companies Bill and the Llastidloes and New Town Railway Bill were read • third time and paned. Sir H. CAIRNS moved that the copy of the report of the cormnimion b rzloineed to inquire intothe state of the affairs of the of Belfast with the minutia of the evidence (presented th February, l 859) be referred to the committee on the Belfast Improvement BM. Mr. ILLGIJIRR opposed the motion, on the ground that the object wash pljudim the committee's favour of the corporation of Barret, who sought to free themselves from obligations imposed upon them by the Court of Chancery with reference to • misappropriation of public funds. U the =amities required the information the application should oome from them, sod not from the promoters. After a brief diacuratoe the motion was agreed to. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY scintmEa. Mr. AYRI`ON moved that it be as indructicm to the committee on group 1 of railway bills to allow the promners of the London Main Trunk Underground Railway Bill (ordered by the house not to be proceeded with in the per session) to be heard upon petition against the following bills, with which such bill would, if proceeded with, have been to competitioa,lds. :—Metropoliten Railway (Trinity square Edension), East Loodos Railway, Great Eastern Railway (Metropolitan Station and Railways), Metropolitan District Railways (No. ill, Metropolitan Grand Union Rail way (No. 2); provided that each petition shall have been deposited within the time prescribed by the standing orders for depositing petitions against private bill.. Colossi W. PATTEN apprehended that if the promoter' of every one of the rejected schemes were allowed to appear before the committee the object of the joint committee upon metropolitan railways would be very much frustrated. Mr. MASSEY said the decision of the joint committee were merely that certain schemes not being urgent should be deferred, but if the promoters were not allowed to appear upon the merits of the other schemes the postponed bills would be, in effect, superseded. The motion wee agreed to. BARNSTAPLE ELECTION. Mr. HOWES brought up the report of the select rem. mittee appointed to investigate the merit' of the petition against the last return for flArnstaple. The committee re- Ci.rthat Mr. Lloyd bad not been duly elected, and that remridge bad been duly elected, and ought to have bees returned to serve in parliament for the borough. The committee further informed the house that several permits whom names were mentioned, who were not entitled to vote, had voted at the said electios, and that several electors had received money in sums varying from 6/, to 101. for the purpose of influencing their votes. The committee had agreed to a resolution to the effect that Mr. Lloyd had bees by his agents guilty of bnhaq at the last election ; bat it had not bean proved that he wee cognisant of the fact. Further, the committee had agreed to a resolution that they had not reason to believe that corrupt practices had en. temively prevailed at the last election for the borough of Barnstaple. (Laughter.) NEW WRIT. Upon the motion of Mr. Bat:rn, a DOW Writ was ordered to iwue for the electioo of a memtier fee the boroujh of Pontefract in the morn of Mr. Childers, who since Iris elec tion had aooepted the office of a junior lord of the Admi ralty. (Hear.) LLSBURN ELECTION. Mr. ADAIR pre uotieo that on Monday be would move that the proceedinp of the Lisburn election committee, now before the house, should be printed. POLA N u. Mr. HENNESSY gave notice that on the motion for going into committee of supply be would move the following resolution :—"That the negotiations of her Majesty's government respecting Poland have not terminated in a satisfactory manner. That it &p -pm, from the papers laid before parliament that the conditions on which the British government agreed to acknowledge the dominion of Russia in Poland have not been fulfilled by Rullia. That this house is of opinion that her Majesty's government is no longer bound to recognise the sovereignty of Russia in Poland." THE DANISH QUESTION. Mr. KINGLAKE gave notice of the following =sod meat on Mr. Osborne's motion for Fueeday next Whilst earnestly desiring that, without violence to the laws and rights of the people Deomark, Slereig, Holstein, and Lauenburg, it may be found possible to getter all those dominions uoder the sceptre of Kiog Christian 1)L, and thereby effect the object which was contemplated by the Treaty of London, this house obeervee that the change which would give lawful effect to the proposed arrangement has sot yet been consented to by the Assembliesof &states in Sherry sad Holstein. 2. That the First Lord of the Treasury has made a declaratiin importing that in the ap• proachiag coaference her Majesty's government will hold the present King of Denmark to be already the " lawful sovereign" of the people in fileswig and liolsteis. 3. That in the opinion of this house the declaration so made by the First Lord of the Treasury pee beyond the real exigency of the Treaty of London, throws a pave obstiecle is the way of the reetoratiou of peace, and involves an undue interfer ence with the laws of a foreign state. REF Z.TOES FOR FEMALE/CONVICTS IN IRELAND. Mr. hIAGITIRK asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he was swam of the fact that the operation of one of the provisions of the Penal Servitude Bill would be to abolish the refugee for female convicts in Ireland • and if go, whether the Irish government had been co salted upon the matter, and had approved or otherwim of the abolition of mid probationary imtitutioss. Sir 0. GREY said it was not the intention of the govern ment, in the preparation of the Penal Servitude Bill, to interfere with the practice in Ireland in reference to female convict, who, having obtained tickets of leave, entered refugee in that country, whether protestant or Roman catholic, and which practice be believed to be attended with very beoeficial results. He had moil:Boni- Gated with t►e Irish government on the subject, and he bad given notice of an amendment in committee upon the bill which would effect the object which the hon. gentleman very properly bed is view. THE PROPOSED NEW MUSEUMS. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the First Comm; Works what number of plans bad beers seat in for the pro posed new museums at South Kensington; where, and when he intended to exhibit them; and who were to be the judges to decide upon them. Mr. COWPER said that thirty-two sets of designs had been sent in by public competition, and they were now hanging up in the Royal Gallery, when they were accemible at any time to members of that hones. The judge, who would be appointed as a committee to award the prises, would cosset of five, there of whom were architects of acknowledged rerutation and experience, but sot at that moment practising their profession. There would also be a painter who was a professional man, linden amateur. Yr. DILLWYN wished to know what was the object of the museum. 1501fIER said the designs were for the plan of the new building, which was to occupy one side of the front of the site which bad been purchased at South Kensington, where the lath Exhibition stood, and which would afford spar* enough to receive the nature/ history collection of the British Museum, end a museum of patent inventions, if it should be ultimately determined to place them in the build ing. But the first thing would be to get designs for the building as a preliminary step, and the use to which that building would be put would be a matter for further con sideratioe. (A laugh.) He apprehended no step would be taken which might prevent the hon. gentleman, in sey form he might desire, from bringing the subject before the house it be should think St. Mr. BEAUMONT wished to know whether the judges were to naive say newsweratioo. DISTRIBUTION OF OFFICES 17NDER TEE GOVERNMENT. Mr. DISRAELI—Sir, 1 wish to nuke as inquiry of her Majesty's government respecting the distribution of offices se at present armors& This question is one of gravity as it appears to me, and I am told it may be urgent, as it ne cessarily affects the arrangement' of this hones. I shall, however, oaths' myself strictly to as explanation of my question, and I treat the house will allow me to make one remark. The boar is now aware that the point to which I wish to cell attention is the tenure of office of those gen tlemen who at present fill the office of ender-secretaryship. The house be aware that the distribution of offices is gene rally arranged by statute--by acts familiar to every hon. gentiemsa—by the act of Anne, by the 15th of George the Second, and by the set of George the Third—the celebrated act of Mr. Burke for effecting an economical reform—it was definitely arranged that two Secretaries of State might sit in the Home of Commons and two Under Secretaries of State. In very modern times, and in the experience of all here, that is in the year 1866 or 1856, when a new Secretary of State for War was appointed, an act was introduced. which, referring to the previous state of the law on the subject, enacted that in future it should be legal for three Secretaries of State to sit in the House of Compose and also three Under Secreta ries of State. Still more recently, when the President of the Board of Control became Secretary of State for India, in the Indian Act there wee a provision introduced empower ing a fourth Secretary of State to sit in this house, and also • fourth Under Secretary of State. The house, on reflection, will be aware that at this moment there are five Under Secretaries of State @HU'. in the Home of Commons. The house will feel that this is • subject which, unless it be capable of satisfactory explanation by her Majoity's go vernment, is of °mimeof a very grave character. It is grave in a constitutional sense, and still more grave in the come. cinemas which it may entail on the individual—if my view of the case be right—who fills the office of fifth Under Secre tary of State. I do not wish at present to enter into any details, I only want to make my question perfectly cast. We shall have other opportunities, if necessary, to enter more fully into • discussion of the subject, but I cacaos suppose that this point has not occurred to the considera tion of her Majesty's ministers. I wish, however, to igvits some axplanatioc on the part of the government se to why the distribution of government offices should be apparently se opposite to the provisions of the statutes which exist on 1 the "abject Lord PALMERSTON—No dump liss recently taken place in regard to the distribution of government of6ces, which is the same now asit has been for many mouths pest. The question of the right hon. gentleman is one which requires examination, and I am not prepared to dis miss it off bend, no notice haring been given of it. (Hear.) _ _ . . _ Mr. DISR A —My explaostion of the reason why I did not give any notice of my totentiou to bring this question before the home is the same as that which has Menem:Jed the noble lord in &orbiting to consider it now. ne fact is, I was not before aware of the state of akin io respect to this matter. But because I was not aware of the state of affairs, that doss not make the matter less important. The noble lord will, I am sure, agree with me, that It is a question of great importance, and you, sir (damming the Speaker) will say whether it may not be ormeidered quettion of privilege, and being snob, whether it may not be brought before you on the first opportunity. ( hear, bear.) THE HIGHWAY ACT AND DISCIPLINE IN PRISONS. Sir J. PAK INGTON asked what were the intentions of the Secretary of State for the Home Department with regard to two subjects which were now exciting great intereet— whether be intended to introduce • bill for the amendment of the Highway Act, and whether he would bring in the bill he promised for the improvement of disciplice in county and borough prisons. Sir G. GREY said that the bill regarding highways was in print, sod would be shortly introduced. With regard to the other bill, be was welting to receive the report of the medical men as to the dietary in the borough prisms before be completed the provisions of that measure. TRADE WITH FOREIGN NATIONS. Upon the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. W. FORSTF.It called 'Meatiest to the arrangement between the Foreign-office and the Board of Trade in re ference to trade with foreign nations ; and, after repre muting the inconveniences su ff ered by the commercial cum. munity by having to deal with the two officio, by the dif ficulty of gettingthem to work together, and the want of respouei 'ty under such a system, moved fora select com mittee to inquire whether means could not be devised to out the trading interests in direct communication with the Foreign-office. In the course of his speech, he adverted to the success of the French treaty, which he said was won derful, and taught a lemon to the nations of Europe. Mr. LAYARI) observed that there had been a misap prehension as to the relations between the Foreign-of loe and the Board of Trade, both of which departmettte co operated in promoting the policy of free trade in foreign states, where that policy encountered obstacles arising from jealousy and suspicion. Commercial questions were some times so intimately connected with political question that they could not be separated. He Mowed the impediments which the Foreign-office met with in negotiating commer cial ainuigemesta. With reference to the motion, be is. sista that the complaints made ageinit the present system which be explained, were not well founded. The duty of the Foreige-office wee to carry oat the commercial views and policy of the Board of Trade, and there was so divided reepossibality, as there would be under the system sug gested by Mr. Forster. The machinery of the Board of Trade could not be imported into the Foreign-office, already overworked. He did not, however, oppose the motion. Lord STANLEY said, if the motion was pressed to a division be should vote for it. The motion only called for en inquiry • a primi feels CYO had been made out for an inquiry, a d be could testify that a stroeg feeling on the subject existed among the mercantile community. He w' Mr. Politer bad enlarged hie motion so as to corn. prebend the whole machinery of the Board of Trade. After some remarks by Mr. Balsas and Mr. Bass, Mr. HENLEY mid it was very desirable that the sub ject should be inquired into ; the question, difficult ee it was, should be looked into, and he was not without hope that the system might be amended, sad some arnagemest made more satisfactory to the mercantile community. Mr. NEWDEGATE dwelt epos the sufferisge isflicted upon our silk manufactures by the French treaty. Mr. N. GIBSON, observing that there was no objection on the part of the governmest to the appointment of a committee, notified a remark of Mr. Healey upon what he had supposed to be • divided reepoesibility betwees the Foreign-office and the Baud of Trade, which seemed, he said, to imply that there ought to be blame departmest I far all the taaoticas at the goveramest. Timm wee la 1864; reality no divided responsibility. He oleo medicated the coarse pursued by the government of this country in the commercial negotiations with foreign powers. Mr. COBDKN corrected the misapprehension which, he mid, existed es to the objects of our commercial policy, the toward of which was to be found I. its saucer, as shown by the Chancellor of the Bacibegner. The question was whether, irrespective of commercial treaties, it could not be possible for the government to diffuse fres trade pr i mriPles among other countries, which would be a legitimate course of acUon. But we had two departments couneeted with this opseutioe, and the object of the motion was to devise means whereby the Foreign-office could be inspired with the spirit which actuated the Board of Trade, and an appro. datioe of true commercial principles. After a few observations by M.r. Bastxr, the maim of Mr. Forster was agreed to. CRIME Di IRELAND. Mr. WHITESIDE moved for copies of the lists of all indictable offences laid before the judges at the late assizes for the counties of 110•0001111011, Cavan, Loo ford, Limerick. and Westmeath; the names of the parties made amenable, and the officees for widish they were severally indicted ; and asked for an exploration of the cameo why so INTO • of undetected Cline/ prevails in the said corm =P?ed on course the government meant to adept in eider to Wes the same. He reed remarks of the judges, sad semammied upon the apparent failure of justice, sot• whin what might be among the muses. sir PEEL said he was reedy to give the retinue awed for, sad, with regard to the questions asked he gave the desired explanation, replyieg, as he t rooesded, to the oomments of Mr. Whiteside, and allowing e nese of parties suffering from violence ad injure to assist justice. A van improvement, he observol; had taken sloe in the feelisgs and character of the people in u , and if irritating muses ceased to agitate them, there would be. year by year, • sensible diminution of mime in the country. The droussion—as to the amount of crime in Ireland, the micro of the off the wamber undetected, and the causes of their nom d,Mdioa, which ease members attai buted to the inefficieacy of the coustabulary as a detective pam owing to their military orgenieation—wu ioutinued by Mr. McMahon, the O'Cooor Doe. Lord C. Hamilton, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Bagwell, and Mr. O'Hagan. Lord PALMERSTON interposed • ingestion that • very important subject stood for coceideration that even ing—namely, the Sugar Duties—sod that it was then past 10 o'clock. Afier — ;iime pointed remarks by Mr. 083081411, the motion was withdrawn. THE SUGAR DUTTES. On the motion for sonfirmiag the resolution of the go vernment, speed to in committee of ways and means, ' Mr. ORAit'PORD moved the follovriog amendment:— " That it is not possible for the oaken of the CUMOO2II to amertain by inspection the quail% of crystallisable samba doe matter contained in any ME of sugar. and that a law which seek. to effect such an object is unjust to the pro. duaer. inasmuch as by striking with • superior duty owe pound of sugar which by • better mode of manufacture too th= more malaria* matter than another pound obtained from the same raw material, it inflicts direct discourage ment on t; whilst at the same time it excludes large quail ties of fine sugars from the market, sod thereby injures both consumers sod the revenue by limiting the supply." Mr. Stuart Mill entirely bore oat the view he had expressed, that • differential scale of taxation was injurious to the osessmer as wales the to manufacturer. It had been argued that no system amid be fairer for all parties than that where no duty wee charged at all, that the manufacturer of refined saw would then send his commodity to market on equal terms with the maker of sugar of inferior qualities, whereas by • differential duty a direct thooangerneet was given to the latter against the former. ifi.l 7 CriTER had served upon the committee which sat alms ;hie enbjeet Iwo years ago. He believed the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would soon recoup himself for the whole of the reductieu he had made. 1 o °preclusion he begged to mooed the motion of his hon. friend. Mr. J. B. SMITH moved the adjournment of she debate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CARDWELL said he hoped to satisfy Mr. Crawford that the three proposilkons contaised in his resolution wee* oot, collectively or separately, worthy the adoption of the hones. He insisted that the officers of the Customs would bees competent as the trade to test the quantity of sac charine matter in a sample of sugar ; that experience had shown that a graduated lade of duties was lot inju rious to the producer, nor a dimenagement to improve. meets ; mid that the statistics of the wow trade proved that the stale bad tug limited the supply. On the other hand, be showed that a uniform duty would operate unfairly upon sugars of differeat qualities, and the governeemit was of opinion that the principles of free trade would be beet tarried into effect by a system of clarified duties on the article of auger, which would be fair and just to high, medium. and low sugars. There were interests that might be benefited by a uniform duty ; bat the greet interest of the consumers in this country sad the doctrine of fres trade were in favour of a graduated scale. Mr. J. B. SMITH asked whether, if be abstained from movies the adjournment of the debate, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would bring the bill on for discuesioo at an early hour on another mooing, so that an opiaion might be expremed on hisamendinent, via., that the present proposed scale of duties should only be in farce for one year. This important matter should not be disposed of in a summary manner. (Hear, bear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—At that hour (Dearly one o'clock) it would not be fair to expect hie boo. (rimed to praised with his amendment, and es he thoutbt his proposal a fair am he would take care that the bill should be brought on early enough for a full discussiou of the principle prepaid. Mr. CRAWFORD explained that he had not now, and never bad, any personal interest in the manufacture of sags; toed that when his partner gave his evidence before the select committee he had not, nor had he now, an interest in the manufacture of sugar. Mr, CARDWELL said hi thought he bad not Lid any street on the point. The house then divided— For the amendment l7 Against it The result was reoetred with some cheers and laughter. The report of ways sad means was then agreed to. DUTY ON FIRM INSURANCES. Mr. HINKEY Enquired when it was proposed that the alteration in the duty os insuranos on stock is trade should take effect. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that is he understood the 14 of July would be an icoonvesiect day for the purpose refined to, he cropresl that the alters- Lion should take effect from the 24th of June. There wee an ►pprehension that the new rate on policies wociLl require sew and ssparaie policies to be made co stocks is trade. There would be no necessity for any such aspirate policy.

Ths concluding day's sport at the Craven yes an im provement upon the general character of the racing on the wind up of the first meeting at Newmarket. The Name magnificent weather continued, sod the first of the seven items being run on the July course beyond the dip, necessitated an early departure, esposially as the Plato was appointed for 11.35, Usually this race has= a fatal one for backer', who bigotedly found an animal upon whom extravagant odds were laid, as. for instance, Carbineer. Lost spring was as exception to the role, Asteroid landing the long odds of 8 to 1 laid on hint, whilst Win grave's success on the present occasios will give "the talent" more nudidenos for this long race which has now been won by Wells twice in summon. The baker's dozen for the Handicap Plata pro duced a hot favourite in the Newmarket horse Antoinette, who won, after a capital struggle with Chip of the Old Block. The Port Stakes brought out a quartette, who, though not animals with first-class diplomas, have various times distinguished themselves, the winner, a oelt by King Tons out of Giraffe, having late in last session defeated Oar nivel. lo the succeeding two races the "dark bine and yellow cap" of Baron Rothschild wore carried in the vas, and after War Dance bad walked over for the 25 sows. sweepstakes another of " the Baron's" animals, was made favourite for the last event, and was only beaten a bead from Hurrah.

This only applies to yarns made from long•stapled cottoe. Home trade homes 14 the yarn trade report a quiet bat steady market, with prices as on Tueeday. The business of the day has been small. 96,000 bales of cotton have been received /at Liverpool within the last week, of which between 50,000 and 60,000 me Sorats, China, and Japan staples. The result is that while the American, Egyptian, and some other better elms cottons have remained Dearly steady in price, Surat and other inferior desoriptioas are easier to bay. The yarn market is much of the same character, the yarns made from the better and longer stapled cotton being Armee in price than inferior sorts. In sloth we have spin had rather a dull market. There has hese some little more inquiry than is the early part of the week, bat it has not resulted in muolubusiness. liaaufacturers are pretty firm, and less inclined (as far as we can perceive any change) to make cosoessioes than on Tuesday, but buyers oe their part show no disposition to co higher rates, or to operate with freedom at any pies, and the business of the day has been very limited.
