EXTRADITION TREATY WITH FRANCE. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in introducing a bill to 11111111e4 the law relating to trestles of extradiUon briefly pleated the circumstances which had inched the Frenc h ryes a cent to terminate • treaty which for them had y wore practically inoperative. It being desirable that mom treaty 01_0:tradition should exist between the to wo otaustries, Lord Clarendon had prepared the bill now soh adtted to the house, the piincipal object of which was to ivied& depoitions taken in France to be received in rol e Alga la this creantry_when swami sided by a certificate egiersay from the Sinister of Justice.

Their lordships adjourned at a quarter past 6 o'clock. Bill passed HOUSE OF COMlllol7B.—Tatrammy, JUL: 19. The SPLAKIR took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BITRINRES. The follan hills were read a third time and passed : The Clare College, Cambridge (Blythe's Benefaction) ; Southern Railway, Taylor's Estate, and Troyte's Estate _ - THE AFFAIRS OF JAMAICA. Mr. MILL said that without going into details with respect to the series of MterrCiatrons which he had addressed to the government, he would simply ask the questions which stood in his name on the paper. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the aotices pissed on the paper were never Intended to super sede the questions that were asked in that house ; he should, therefore, prefer that the hon. gentleman should put the questions which he thought proper in his discretion to the executive. There were many hon. members in the house who had not had an opportunity of making them selves acquainted with the questions proposed to be put. It was due to the bonne and to the subject that the hon. 'member should ask the questions at length, so as to let • them hear what they really were. Mr. MILL asked if he should read the questions seriatim. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Yes, the whole of them. Mr. MILL then reed the following questions of which he had given notice, namely—Whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial Lieut. Adcock for unlaw fully putting to death two men, named Mitchell and Hill, without trial and six persons after alleged trial by court inertial on charges not cognisable by a military court; for • logging without trial Mr. John Anderson and others, and authorising one Henry Ford to flog many men and women without burl, one of whom, named John Mullins, died in consequence. Whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial Captain Hole for hanging one Donaldson without trial ; for shooting and permitting to be shot various persons without trial; for putting to death by hanging and shooting thirty-three persons after *trilby a so-called military court for acts not cognisable by a military court, and without observance of the rules pre scribed by the Articles of War ; for flogging various men and women without trial ; and for being accessory after the tact to the unlawful putting to death of numerous persons by soldiers under his command. Whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial Lieutenant Oxley for putting John Burly to death after a similar unlawful trial, amid for permitting the men under his command to fire at unarmed peasants, and cause the death of several persons. Whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial Ensign Cullen and Dr. Morris for putting three men to death without trial, and Dr. Morris for shooting one William Gray. Whether any step. have been or will be taken to bring to trial stipendiary magistrateFyfe for burn houses of peasants, putting to death one person without and being accessory to the unlawfulputting to death of various others. Whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial Attorney-General Bishop, Lieu- tenant Brand, Captain Lake, and Captain Field, for sit ting as presidents or members of alleged courts-martial, by whom numerous were unlawfully put to death. Whether any step, ave been or will be taken to bring to trial General O'Connor for having been accessory before and after the feet to numerous unlawful executions, some of them without trial, and others after the illegal trials already specified. Whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial Colonel Nelson, brigadier-general in Jamaica, for unlawfully causing to be tried in time of peace, by military courts irregularly composed, for acts alleged to have been done before the proclamation or be yond the jurisdiction of martial law, and after such trial to be unlawfully put to death the following persons:—George Wm. Gordon, Edward Fleming, Samuel Clarke, Wm. Grant, Geo. Macintosh, Hy. Laurence, Letitia Geogban, and six other women, one of them in a state of preg nancy Scipio Cowell, Alexander Taylor, Toby Butler, Jasper Hall Livingstone, and various other persons who had been previously flogged ; and about 180 other alleged rebels ; and for anthonsurg the flogging without trial of Alexander Phillips, Richard Clark, and numerous others. Whether any legal proceedings have been or will be ordered to be taken against Mr. Edward John Eyre, lately governor of Jamaica, for complicity in all or any of the above acts, and particularly for the illegal trial and execution of Mr. George William Gordon. If not, whether her Majesty's government are advised that these sets are not o ff ences under the criminal law. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The house bas heard the questions which the hon. gentleman has addressed to jt in a form which I think I may say some- what passes the boundary of parliamentary questiLns, be muse, in addressing questions of this kind in which opinions are also expressed, it is trespassing in some de an the liberty and freedom of discussion. (Hear.) It is impossible, under these circumstances, to discuss and at the same time answer in detail questions put to the government by hon. members which may lead the public mind to the presumption that those who reply to them agree in the assumed state of facts upon which the ques tions are founded. They are ten in number, and nine of them inquire of the government whether any steps have been or will be taken with respect to the unhappy pro ceedings which have occurred in Jamaica, and which the honourable gentleman treats throughout as un lawful. But after these nine inquiries, throughout certain which the oonduct of individuals is as sumed to be illegal, there is a tenth inquiry, whether her Majesty's government are of opinion that such conduct or proceedings were illegal. I think the house will agree that the law advisers of the crown, from what ever party the government may be formed, are into most eminent in their profession, and if the boo. gentleman is of opinion that the responsible advisers of the crown were of opinion these acts were not illegal, he is hardly justified in assuming that they were illegal, and he might have made the inquiries without proceeding throughout on that assumption. It is not merely that these questions have been asked in a form which without notice might lead to inconvenience, but though brought forward with great apparent precision, they do not appear to me to be as accurate as under such circumstances might have been desired. Throughout these questions the hon. gentleman seems entirely oblivious of the fact that the proceedings of which he complains took place during the existence of martial law. (Hear, hear.) That is the fi rst feature that strikes one, and there seems throughout these numerous categories a very great confusion on that subject, because we bare this remarkable expression—certain persons are spoken et whose omen were decided without trial, or alleged trial by court-martial, and on charges not cognisant by a military court. Then there is another charge that a case has been decided without °beer wand of the rules prescribed by the articles of war ; and again we are told that a person was tried, in time of peace, by a military court irregularly composed. There are other charges of the same kind. But in a state of martial law there could be no irregularity in the form of the court. A state of martial law supersedes an other law; but she hon. gentleman throughout theme questions seems to assume that in a state of martial, law courts-martial are to be coeducted according to the terms and conditions under which they are held when the Mutiny Act is in existence. But in a state of martial law the Mutiny Act like every other law is suspended, therefore there is throughout this question a saner of extreme inaccuracies en this point alone, and there are other errors in point of detail which ought to have been avoided by the hon. gentleman in a question of this character. (Hear, hear.) In question No. 4 we are asked in the ease of Ensign Caen and Dr. Monis, whether any steps have been or will be taken to bring to trial those gentlemen for putting three men to death without trial, and Dr. Morris /or shooting one Wm. Gray. Now in the evidence taken 'before the commissioners it is particularly stated that Ibis was a charge which was not proved. that the evident:* ism very porplaxing, and the casimissiosers resommeneled further inquiries, which I believe are now taking place. Surely under these circumstances the lion. 'ourahle gentleman is not authorised in making so sweeping an amern,m, so definite that Mises men were put to death without Vial, when the fasts seeth THE tVRESS I PRWAY contrary to such a conclusion. Then there is a very strong charge against Colonel Nelson, who also is assumed to have been guilty of crimes that have not been proved, and we are asked whether any steps are being taken to bring him to trial for putting to death tuilawfully certain men and women who had been previously flogged, it being alleged that one of them was in a state of pregnancy, and for authorising the flogging without trial of Alexander Phillips, Richard , and numerous others. Now, as • fact, it is shown in the evidence taken before the commis sioners that no one was togged without trial by Colonel Nelson, and no woman known to be in a state of preg nancy was tried. The hon. gentleman, therefore, was not justified in so decidedly announcing that Colonel Nelson was guilty of crimes not proved, or In founding inch conclusions as he bas upon assump tions wbtoad. I felt it my duty to make these observa tions. In the first place I cannot approve of the hon. gen tleman assuming throughout that these proceedings were illegal, for that is a matter of controversy, and on which there may be aoonflict of opinion, and in the second place I think that he ought to have taken care that the question should have been extremely, nay, severely accurate. Having made these observations upon the long question addressed to the government, I hope the house will act consider me obtrudes if I state what had really been done in this matter. When these occurrences took place in Jamaica the late government issued a commission in order that we might obtain the fullest information from local inquiry. I think the government in so acting took • most wise sad prudent course. The commission was composed of eminent men, possessing public confidence, and whatever contro -1 very there may be upon other parts of that question, there can be none as to the acuteness and assiduity with which those distinguished persons performed the &idea they undertook to discharge. The late government act ing on the report of the commissioners, dismisse dthe governor. That appears to me to he conclusive as regards the eau of Governor Eyre. Those who ask for further steps seem to me to confuse errors of conduct and judg ment with malice prepense, but the House of Commons would scarcely sanction such • confusion. Then with regard to the subordinate officers, naval and military. The late government gave instructions to the Admiralty and the Horse Guards to investigate the conduct of the officers connected with thou departments, and to report upon the same. The Admiralty, after investigation and consideration, decided that no fresh inqdry was requisite, and approved of the conduct of the admiral on the station. The Horse Guards, as I em informed, have not yet made their report. Under these circumstances I cannot under stand how the hon. gentleman should desire, after the investigations that have been already made, to bring this question forward. If it becomes necessary hereafter to forward further instructions to the Admiralty and the Horse Guards, we shall be justified in doing at, but such instructions will be founded on new information. At the present moment I am not prepared to offer any further explanation on the subject to the hon. gentleman. (Hear.) political discussion, but that it is simply intended for the preservation of the public peace. (Cheers.). THE 11ELEiOTT ELECTION. Mr. LOWE, pursuant to notice he gave • fortnight go, called attention to the circumstances of the recent Holston election, at which the mayor, having already voted for Mr. Campbell in his private capacity, when the votes were equal gave him a second, or casting vote. After ex amining the precedents, which showed that, though in the last century two similar caami—Bramber and Horsham— had occurred, the practice latterly had been invariably to make • double return, he read a letter from the mayor, which, he said, fairly pursed him of contempt, and with a view of providing Simi ar eases 111 future he moved a resolution affirming that when candi dates have equal voices it is the duty of returning officers to make • doable return. - - --- The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCfrEQUER that as the matter was one which wee likely to to much controversy, and as there wu a bill on the "object before the house, the resolution should be postponed for further consideration. . . . . Mr. GLADSTONE concurring (though M the same time expressing a doubt whether the matter could be dash with by a resolution alone), The subject was postponed for a week. TH:B INDIAN BUDGET.. In committee of the whole house Viscount CRAN BOESI brought forward the Indian budget. He said that it was the practice in treating Indian finance to deal with three years. With respect to the first of the three, 18665, the gross revenue was 45,653,0001., and the gross expeaditur• 45,846,0001., being • deficit of 193,0001., and a difference of more than 800,0001. from the estimate. In regard to the year 1865-6, the gross revenue was 47,041,0001., and the gross expenditure was 47,020,0001. In that year there was an increase generally in the land and forest revenue, though the net profit from the latter was at present but u The excise yielded 2,291,0001., being a gain of over 47,0001. on the previous year. The income tax had been repealed, principally becalm it had been a complete failure in India, though at teupence in the pound never producing more that two millions a year. The salt tax had ex perienced a considerable loss, about 167,0001. The cus toms showed a gain of 88,0001., while opium gave 8,638,0001., or 1,217,0001. more than in the previous year. The public works realised a sum of 1,016,000/. Turning to expenditure, he spoke of the enor mous sod of the collection of the revenue, it being 8,776,0001., though there was last year a diminu tion of over 00,000 t. The army cost 13,486,0001., being nearly the same as in the previous year, which was about the average expenditure. The expenditure for public works was 5,352,0001., law and justice 2,439,0001., and pollee 2,398,0001. ; each item being en increase. The estimate of the revenue of the year 1866-7 showed • de ficit of 72,8001. The opium tax was estimated at 8,600,0001., but that was a high and exceptional estimate ; and he feared that too much reliance was placed on this source of revenue. This was the more to be regretted as the percentage of other sources of Indian revenue had de creased rather than increased ; and thus opium had become the essential element in Eastern finance. For the current year more than 6,000,0001. was spent on public works, which was a heavy item of expenditure, but it was in fact • large surplus which was invested in remunerative works. The cash balances at the close of the year would not be more than 10,000,0001. The railway expenditure had been a source of enormous success, for the repayment of the outlay was going on with extra ordinary rapidity. The Great Indian Peninsula line paid 7 per cent. on its capital, and the East Indian nearly 5 per cent., though neither of them was fully and thoroughly opened. In consequence of a very full and able report on the general moral and material condition of India which had been presented to the house, it was not necessary for him to say more than that education was progressing, public works—particularly of irrigation—were going on ; railways advancing ; the Ganges Canal bad been rendered more fitted for its great purposes, and there was much evidence of prosperity. The shortness of his tenure of office must be an apology, if he needed it, for his not speaking of the policy of the govern. ment in regard to India, but it was quite in hie power to say that that policy was peace, public works, and an avoid ance of the old aggressive system of annexation. A discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Lama showed that since the equilibrium of expenditure and re venue had been restored after the Indian mutiny, it had on the whole been maintained ; while the revenue bad, in the but five years, increased a million per annum—and went into a comprehensive exposition of Indian affairs in all their branches. He was followed by Mr. Stanafeld, with a speech of a like character ; after which the debate was continued by Mr. Smollett, Mr. Crawford, Lord William Hay, Sir J. Fergusson (the new Under Secretary for India), he. The debate was closed by a reply from Lord CRAN BORNE ; certain formal resolutions were agreed to, and the house resumed. The Thames Navigation Bill was then taken in coin. mittee, and passed through that stage. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS (RECOMMITTED) BILL. The consideration of this bill in committee was poet poned until Thursday next at 12 o'clock. INLAND REVENUE BILL. The house went into e;iTmittee Pro form! on this bill, but immediately resumed. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL—RE DISTRIBUTION OF SEATS BILL . _ _ Mr. GLADSTONE, who rose at a quarter to two o'clock, said—On rising to move that the orders be discharged, he had a few words of explanation to offer as to the course he proposed to take. On the occasion of the resignation of the lies government he had not moved the discharge of the orders, under the conviction that it was their duty to give the incoming government an opportunity of con sidering the course they should adopt respect to the bills. The declaration of the leading members of the government in another place, and likewise in the country, showed that it was not their intention to take any step in reference to the bills, a course of which he did not at all make a complaint. He did not think, however, that the motion should be taken altogether as a matter of course, and he had therefore given notice of his intention to make it, in order that if any member desired to take the opinion of the house upon it, he should have an op portunity of doing so. At that late hour he would not enter into the reasons for not going forward with the bills at this period of the session, but perhaps it was expected of him that after all that had taken place he should say • word as to the future. As regards the future, the great subject of the representation of the people was not primarily in the hands of himself or of those with whom he had been connected. It was, of course, to her Majesty's government that in the first instance the country would look for a decision in reference to those bills. He did not desire to press the government upon the question, nor did he make any com plaint that the government had declined to give an early opinion upon the course they intended to adopt He would only say that it would be a matter of great satis faction, both to his colleagues and himself, if the govern ment should be in a condition to moot this question, and to deal with it in a satisfactory and effectual manner. He did not ask from them, nor was he prepared to give on his own part, or on the part of those with whom hehad the honourto act, any pledge either with respect to time or any particular provisions of the late bill, or any bill for parliamentary re form. This was not the period at which the matter should be so handled, but they would be glad to sup• port any measure which they believed to be good and effectual, and without the smallest regard to what had happened should he ready to assist and to congratulate those who might be more fortunate than themselves. (Cheers.) He must also say without conveying any impu tation whatever on any class of persons that they were not the parties who would consent to the passing of any measure that they should regard as reactionary or illusory in its provisions, and to such a mea sure they should offer the best resistance in their power. Beyond that, to any questions put to him in regard to their future course, and their intentions in respect to this matter, he would only say that they should wish to be judged by what they had said during times past and in the present session. He meant not so much in refer ence to the particular terms or provisions for the attainment of an object of such great public importance, in respect to which all parties ought to remain entirely free, as in respect to the temper, the spirit, and the aim with which they should at any time, if it became their duty in the place which they now occupied to approach this subject. With respect to those points, they would wish their future conduct to be inter preted by their language and their acts in the past. With those words he begged leave to move that the orders of the day for going into committee on the Representation of the People Bill and Redistribution of Seats Bill should be discharged. COMMONS METROPOLIS BILL This bill passed through committee. The remaining orders were disposed of, sad the house adjourned shortly after 2 o'clock. SADLER'S WELLS THEATIUL—Mr. Nye Chart, the acting manager at thin theatre, announces his benefit for this evening. The bill of fares unvsually attractive, embracing the company of the Olympic Theatre, in Tom Taylor's play of the Ticket of Leave Man, and Miss Cicely Non, the favourite vocalist, in Buckstone's oomic drama of the Child of the Regiment. Mr. Chart deserves well of the frequenters of this establishment for the manner in which he has conducted it, under the present lesseeship, and may be remembered as a popular comedian at this theatre some ten or twelve years ago, under Mr. Phelps's management. The performance is announced under the patronage of the Duke of Wellington. [Advertisement.] HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.

THE COAL COMMISSION. Colonel SYKES asked whether the royal coal commission was authorised to bore for coal in different parts of Great Britain ; and whether it was understood thatexpensee might be incurred to an unlimited extent without the previous approval of the House of Commons. Mr. WALPOLE said that there was nothing in the commission giving the commissioners authority to bore for coal, and it was not usual for such a commission to incur expenses without reference to the Home-office, which would, if needful, place the application before the Trea sury. CARLOW LUNATIC ASYLUM. In reply to Mr. P. BIRINFORTI, Lord NAAS mid that the office of medical superinten dent of this asylum had been tilled up by the late govern ment. A person holding each an office must be a qualified physician and surgeon. THE IRISH CHANCELLORSHIP. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the right hon. gentleman the member for Louth if it was the fact, as was stated on Tuesday night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that Mr. Blackburn., who in his 85th year has been appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, bad been appointed to the office of Lord Justice of Appeal as recently as three months since, and whether it was within his knowledge when that appointment was really made. Sir G. GREY—I was not in the house when the right hon. gentleman made the statement which he is reported to have made, and I can hardly believe th►t he made it. It is notorious that Mr. Blackburn. was appointed to the office of Lord Justice of Appeals in Ireland in 1856, ten years ago. (Hear, hear.) Immediately after the passing of the act by which that office was constituted I believe it was perfectly well known that there was an understand ing why that act was paired, that Mr. Blackbnrne, having held the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and being quite competent to perform the duties of the office of Lord Chief Justice, should be appointed ; and the government acted on that understanding. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—What I intended to sa was, that Mr. Blackburne, having been originally appointed to the office of Lord Justice by a liberal administration ten years ago, was certainly three mouths ago revising a decree of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Some one told me at the time that there was an appeal to him from the decision of the Lord Chancellor. Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether the statement was correct, that on the occasion of the Earl of Derby forming his administration in the year 1858 the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland was offered to the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, and then declined by him on the ground of his advanced age, or some similar reason. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It is very difficult to remember all the offers that were made in the year 1858. I believe that Mr. Blackburne was requested by Lord Derby to accept the office of Lord Chancellor of Ire land, but he declined to take it because he was then in possession of a very dignified and permanent office, namely, that just referred to by the right bon. member for Morpeth, and he thought that the chancellorship did not partake of the same permanent character. (Laughter.) I do not think that age was alleged by Mr. Blackburne as the reason for his refusal ; and "what similar reason " to age the hon. gentleman refers to I am totally at a loss to know. (Laughter.) THE COAL COMMISSION. Mr. GLADSTONE said it was desirable that the answer given by the right hon. eentleman the Home Secretary to the gnation of Colonel Sykes should be correctly un dentood Did the right hon. gentleman say that the coal commission had no power to authorise boring! The words giving such power were in the original draft of the ad dress, but were struck out. Mr. WALPOLE said the right hon. gentleman was perfectly correct ; there was no such power. THE PROPOSED REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE-PARK. Mr. P. A. TAYLOR asked whether the notices issued by Sir Richard Mayne, prohibiting the proposed reform meeting in Hyde-park, bad been promulgated by the authority of the government, and if so, under what provi sion of the law such an interference with the right of the people to meet in a peaceful and orderly manner bad been made. Mr. WALPOLE—I could have wished the hon. gentle man had sent me an earlier notice of his intention to put this question, in order that I might have given a complete answer to it ; but speaking from recollection I think I can give him nearly a complete answer. That order, which has been signed by Sir Richard Mayne, has been issued by my authority and under my direction, and I am entirely responsible for it. (Hear, hear.) Since the latter part of the hon. gentle men's question refers to what he supposes to be an ille gality in the issue of such a notice, I wish to inform him, and to inform the house, if they are not already acquainted with the facts, that notices have been placarded over every part of the metropolis inviting large assemblages of persons to meet at different parts of the metropolis at six o'clock in the evening, and to go in procession to Hyde park at half.past six, for the purpose, avowed in some of those notices, of making what they term a demonstration, and for the purpose, as they state in other of those notices, of meeting in Hyde-park. I think I need not point out to the house the consequences to which such assemblages of men in Hyde-park might lead—that they might, and probably would, lead to riots or to disorderly conduct—(" Oh, oh from the opposition, and cheers from the ministerial side of the house)—certainly to conduct which would interfere with the recreation of quiet and orderly people—(hear, hear)—for whom the parks, which are the property of the crown, are open, but not for public demonstrations of the kind proposed. (Cheers.) There is nothing in the notices signed by Sir Richard Mayne to imply that procession., orderly conducted, are illegal—there is nothing in that notice to prevent persons from holding meetings in the usual way for the purpose of discussing politics, or any other subject ; but I think that an one holding the office which I have the honour to hold is bound to attend to the public peace of this metropolis, and if hebelieves that the parks, which are open by the permission of her Majesty for the benefit of all her Jlajesty's subjects, are likely to be devoted to any purpose that would interfere with the quiet recreation of the people, and might lead to riots and disorderly demon stration., he world be most blameable if be did not issue en order similar to that which I have given. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Sir G. GREY—I beg to state that the course taken by my right hon. friend is in exact accordance with that which has been taken on former occasions. (Hear, hear.) On a previous occasion, when notice had been given that it was intended to hold a public meeting in Hyde-peek, which is a royal park, a prohibition of that meeting was issued, that prohibition being founded onthe circumstance to which my right hon. friend has alluded, that the parks were open for the recreation and enjoyment of the public but the issue of the notice had no reference to the abstract right to hold public meetings. (Hear, bear.) Mr. J. S. MILL asked the right hon. gentleman the Home Secretary whether it was to be understood that the prohibition which bad been issued in the present case was founded solely on the circumstance that the meeting was intended to be held in one of the parks. U so, they might have to conrider--(Cries of " Order.") Mr. WALPOLE—I will answer that question by saying that the notice I have issued is certainly grounde d on the airanmstanee that the meeting was intended to be held in Hyde-park, (Hear, hear.) As the question has been put to me, I do hope that the notice I have caused to be imbued will not b supposed to be intended in the Wet to prevent EVENING, JULY 20, -1866. *parting frattligtntt.

The Ungar' took their Innings after a brief interval, sending Viscount Rolston and the lion. T. de Grey to the wickets. The first-named retired after getting eleven. He first scored a four, three singles, a two, and two tingles. when he was caught by Gouge. The Hon. T. de Grey played a fine innings, and looked as If he would carry his bat out.

THE CHOLERA.—Several fatal cases of cholera and diarrhu,a are reported in the eastern part of London in the course of the last three days. The Board of Works of the Limehouse district have issued large posters pointing out the remedies for cholera and dysentery, recommending the utmost cleanliness and the use of disinfecting fluids, and many general directions for the avoidance of the scourge, and what to avoid in eating and drinking. The West Ham board in Essex, and for many parts of " London and the border" including Plaistow and the Victoria-docks, met yesterday evening to concert measures to stay the ravages of the cholera. On Wednesday Mr. Raddßey, registrar of one district of Mile-end Old Town, recorded six deaths from that disease in his books. The cases have been numerous in the Stepney union, which consists of the parishes of St. Anne, Limehouse, St. Paul, fihadwell, St. John, Wapping, and the hamlet of Ratcliffe. Many have died after a few days' illness. On Wednesday chola% in its worst form visited the house of Mr. Joseph Clayton, of No. 15, Eastfield-street, Limehouse, about 150 yards from the back of Old Manor-road. In a few hours three of Mr. Clayton's children died. Their ages were 19 months, 5 years, and 11 years. Yesterday Mrs. Clayton and another of her children were attacked, audit was feared there was no probability of their recovery.—Up to to three o'clock yesterday the total num ber of cases admitted to the cholera wards of the Liverpool workhouse was 33, of which 18 have proved fatal. Water day two new cases, both adults, were admitted from the town, and there were also two deaths yesterday, one that of a man who died a few hours after admission, and the other that of a boy who had been attacked in the medical nursery department of the workhouse. At the meeting of the Liverpool Health Committee yesterday, Dr. French (the medical officer to the corporation) recommended the employment of additional men in the scavenging depart ment, to be supplied with barrows for the removal of all filth from districts where the cholera prevails ors likely to prevail, and the sprinkling of houses in inch districts with carbonic acid, the virtues of which as a disinfec tant had (he said) been fully tested during the rinderpest. The recommendation was adopted.— The Queen of the Colonies was towed yesterday afternoon from Gravesend Reach to the Lower Hope, hiving Asiatic cholera on board. On Tuesday morning, the customs authorities at Sunderland received information that the barque Emandor had arrived from Stettin with sickness on board, and it was subsequently ascertained that the captain of the vessel was suffenng from cholera. The patient was removed to the hospital, and the ship thoroughly disinfected.—A cm, of the very worst type of Asiatic cholera has occurred and terminated named ll in Newcastle. The unfortunate sufferer is man Thomas Parrott, forty-five years of age, mate of the Otter steamer, trading between Antwerp and that port. He arrived on Monday morning from Antwerp, and went home to his residence in Gibson-street; where he retired to bed in his usual stare of health. During the night he was seized with illness, and died about noon on Tuesday. Several medical gentlemen who visited the corpse were unanimous in pronouncing it to be a cane of the very worst type of Asiatic cholera. The cholera is increasing its ravages in Llanelly and the neighbourhood. Eight persons died at Llanelly on Sun day, one at a village named Llanon, about six miles inland, and one at Pembrey (a seaport town about four miles westward of Llanelly). At Llanelly, on Monday. four deaths are recorded, making thirty deaths in seven days. The local board of health are doing now all in their power to arrest the plague, but with at present limited success. WORKHOUSE lerremestes.—Yesterday at the meeting of the Marylebone vestry, Kr. Churchwarden Kynaston in the chair, Mr. Tavener drew the attention of the board to a rather important error in Mr. Parnell's official report on workhouse infirmaries. It stated that in No. 6• Ward of the Marylebone Workhouse there were only 206 cubic feet of air to each patient, and 18 feet space to each bed, whereas the fact was there ware 456 cubic' feet of air to each patient, and 36 feet epees to each bed ; in one case double, and in the other cam more than double what was stated. The board of guardians, fee that they were misrepresented, wrote to the Poor-law but had not received any answer. to to inteilistnte. COURT OF BANBRUPTCY.—JuLy 19. Wore Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) II( RE J. S. MOOR& Upon the application of Messrs. Sidney and Son, adjudi cation of bankruptcy has been made upon the petition of creditors against Mr. Joseph Solomon Moore, of Montagu place, Russell-square, and Walbrook-buildings, City, mer chant. The bankrupt has absconded, and although his liabilities are believed to be very large, the assets are said to be inconsiderable. th`OPPAGE OF TIM PIUNTON BANIL—The Preston Bank, which was established In 1844, has suspended pay ment. The announcement was made yesterday morning by a written paper, posted upon the principal door of the bank in Fishergete, which ran as follows :—" In conse quence of the pressure in the money market and temporary embarrassment, this bank is compelled to suspend opera tions for the present.—July 19,1866." This notice was put up just before the usual time of opening the bank (nine o'clock) ; and as merchants, manufacturers, and others turned up between that hour and ten o n financial buai. nem, and realised the fact of there being " no admittance, , the excitement created when the announcement was first made became very intense, and for • time the street was very nearly blocked up with people.. Early in the week several parties apprehended that • stoppage was at hand, from the fact of the bank autho rities having pressed heavily for outstanding accounts in certain quarters, and they withdrew their deposits, deter mined to be on the safe side whatever was the result. On Tuesday and Wednesday there was a most unusual ran on the bank, and it is said that fully 40,0001. was withdrawn in those two days alone. On Wednesday evening the legal adviser of the bank authorities was consulted, and the result was the announcement above given. The bank is in the hands of a company established under the Joint Stock Act; and the shareholders number in the aggregate 113. The liabilities of the bank are roughly estimated at 1,600,0001. The bank has branches at Lancaster Southport, Ormskirk, Bleak burn, Blackpool, Fleetwo od, Lytham, and Garrtang. The weak place in the bank, if not the actual cause of its stoppage, has, it is asserted, been its connection with • number of cotton manufacturers. Several of them during the late cotton famine, and some even prior to the crisis which it caused, overdrew their accounts, or else, being hard pushed for money, had to mortgage their property ; and not being able to realise upon the premiss, ko. , so mortgaged, or having pressed the parties named for payment of sums owing before they had properly got upon their feet after the late depression in trade, the bank authorities have found themselves in a difficulty, and unable to meet the demands upon them, especially during the ran upon their funds caused by an apprehension of their financial weakness, they have had to suspend opera tions. To the shareholders the bank has hitherto been a profitable concern, the interest derived being at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. The bank has suffered very heavily by its Blackburn branch through the mums pre viously assigned. Nearly all the shareholders are men of good position and substantial means, and numbers of depositors are large employers of labour. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—In compliance with a requisition, signed by upwards of 650 inhabitants, a public meeting convened by the Mayor was held on Wed nesday night in the Salford Town Hall, " to consider the present position of parliamentary reform, and the duty of the inhabitants of the borough in relation thereto." The chair was occupied by the Mayor • and there were present —Mr. J. Cheetham, M.P. ; the Revs. Dr. Crosbie, J. L. Whitley, P. C. Nicholson. and James Clarke ; Alderman Harvey ; Councillors Williams and Thompson ; and Messrs. W. Warburton J. Atkinson, J. E. Davies, J. Wainwright, Rober ts, Foden, Re. There was a very full meeting in the large room. Resolu tions were passed expressive of disappointment on account of the defeat of the Reform Bill proposed by the late ministry, of sincere and hearty admiration of the con duct of Earl Russell, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, and others, and gratitude for their noble services on behalf of the good government and the rights of the people. It was also resolved, "That this meeting would express its strongest condemnation of the conduct of the conservative party, and those liberals who joined them in en opposi tion unparalleled for its unmanly character ; and though the friends of the tory government claim forbearance on its behalf, on the pretence that its present position is forced upon it, this meeting cannot forget that the con servative party in parliament, almost to a man, supported every motion calculated to defeat or retard the bill, sad either themselves calumniated the unentranehiaed, or cheered to the echo those who, in the most ungenerous manner, traduced their character ; and this meeting is of opinion that the government just formed is totally un• worthy of confidence." The meeting pledged itself not to relax its efforts until a just and comprehensive measure of reform becomes the law of the land. AN UNSEEMLY DISPUTE.—An action for assault, in which the Rev. Mr. Walsh, Roman catholic curate of Clifden, was plaintiff, and the Rev. Mr. Campbell, a protestant clergyman, was defendant, was tried on Wed nesday at the Galway assizes. It arose out of an un seemly dispute over the bed of a dying man as to which of the rev. gentlemen should administer religious consola tion to him. The deceased, it was alleged, had been for some years a convert to Protestantism, or, as the rev. plaintiff said, " living with the sourer, "in the Church Mission establishment at Clifden. Either he or sonic of his relatives, however, on the let of July sent for Mr. Walsh to attend him, but he was opposed, on entering the sick man's room, by the defendant, who claimed him as a member of his congregation, and said he looked on the plaintiff as an intruder. In e discussion which ensued, the plaintiff, it was asserted, was rudely seized by the defendant and pushed against the wall. As is usual in such cases, the evidence was very conflictiag. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with a farthing damages instead of 1001., which he sought for, and the judge (Chris tian) refined to certify for costs, remarking that the action should never have been brought. Tin Loss or H.M.S. Amazon. A court martial assembled on board the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, yesterday morning, to inquire into the circum stances attending the collision which took place in the Channel between H.M.S. Amazon, Commander J. E. Hunter, and the Cork Steam-packet Company's passenger steamer Osprey. Captain Bartndge, by which both vessels and a number of lives were lost. The court was composed of the following officers : —Rear-Admiral Wellesley, C. 8., president ; Captain Astley C. Rey, C. 8., Captain E. Tatham, Captain the Hon. F. Egerton, A.D.G. Captain C. Tumour, Captain W. G. Luard, Captain W . Cham berlain, Captain C. Pellowes, Captain D'A. D.O. Aplin. Mr. Pope Hennessey appeared to watch the case on behalf of the owners of the Osprey ; Captain Harris attended for the Board of Trade ; and Mr. E. Hoskins officiated as Judge Advocate. The usual formalities, including the mustering of the ship's company, having been gone through, the correspondence of the officers of the Amason, together with the reports on the disaster, was read, and a great deal of evidence was taken, the inquiry being adjourned till to-morrow. ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY TO AN EXCURSION TRAIN.—The Stockton and Darlington Railway Company are in a fair way of losing the long-enjoyed reputation of being one of the most ably conducted lines. Only last week we re ported two accidents, one of which was a most alarming one, and we have now to report another of an equally alarming l nature, caused by carelessness. From what we can gather, it appeared that on Tuesday there was • cheap excursion train from Middlesbrough to Ripon and Leeds, the train consisting of twenty well filled carriages, which reached Leeds in perfect safety, and started on its return journey soon after six o'clock in the evening. All went well until Preston junction was reached, when it became necessary to shunt the train from the Leeds Northern line on to the Stockton and Darlington section, and in doing so a mishap occurred ; the switches were being held by a young man, and when half of the train had passed over, the switches must have been dropped by the switchman, causing one of the carriages to run of the rails and dash along the bal lasting, making fearful havoc to the permanent way. The occupants of the carriages were much terrified, and they shrieked piteously and leaped out of the windows, every door being locked. The screams from the passen gers attracted the attention of the engineman,who stopped the train as soon as possible, though not before the car riage was much smashed, the line misplaced, sad some of the passengers eghtly scratched. The train was delayed • considerable time. and reached Middlesbrough at eleven instead of nine o'clock. —Leeds Mercury.
