Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Secretary of State for the (Monies whether any peogrw bad been made in the nego tiations between her Majesty's government and the Had- SOD'S Bay Company relative to the establiehreent of We.. pubic communication with the Pacific through British North America; and whether arrangements for the future inuagernent of the territory of the Hudson's Bay Company were still the subject of negotiation. Mr. A. MILLS raked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether her Majesty's government exercised at the present moment any control over the territory claimed by the Hudson's hay Company, and stated, in their prospectus limed in July last, to comprise 1,400,000 mum miles ; and whether it was in contemplation to establish a crown colony in any portion of that territory.

The negotiations on the subject were commenced last session, but no satisfactory answer had yet been received. THE SENTENCES AT MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Mr. CLAY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether hie attention had been directed to the sentence of ten years' penal servitude weed at the Middlesex sessions oo a man named White for an act which, if an °gime' et all, appeared to have bees at most an attempt at • larceny ; and, whether aleo he had noticed unusual severity in the sentences passed not unfrequently at the Middlemx Sessions, and whether Mr. Payne's tenure of office was " WWII diu se belie gesserit." Sir 0. GREY said his attention was called to this case by as article which appeared in the Times newspaper ft Saturday last. He received immediately after wards a letter from Mr. Payne, deputy-assistant judge, stating the facts of the case as they appeared to him at the trial of White. The prisoner wee charged before him with stealing a roll of clo th , mid it appeared from the evidence that he wan acting in cowed with another man who was not apprehended, and with a woman who was ap prehended. Mr. Payoe was of opinion that the verdict of "guilty" we , fully justified by the evidence; and in P suture he took into umlaut the fact that the prison= been convicted in May, IrtMt, of a robbery of plate, and sentenced to five years' peed servitude. He had bees several times previously in custody, and had been twice convicted of robbery. Under those circumstances, Mr. Payne in the exercise of that discretion w hi c h wee vested in him by law, passed a sentence of ten yesue pees! servitude. That sentence was soh sequeutly respited until the pert sessions, in order that Mg ii,:eht be made as to the truth of the allege boos mode ho the prisoner of having beau persecuted by the police since his discharge from the author* Of pm' servitude, and also as to his character and mode of living dean that interval. Is the meantime, before he had received Mr. Payee's letter, he had directed such an inquiry to be made, arid the result satisfied him that as far as be could judge the allegations of the primmer were wholly without foundatios. It appeared that the prisoner was not known to the cosetable who apprehended bins on the chum; and it was not known to the coo/Ashlar of the division in which he resided that he had bees previously see. teemed to penal servitude. Nor was there the atightest foundation for the statement that the pet. sneer's brother had teen discharged from his employ meet in consequence of the interference of the gain.

And whether the advice of the visiting justices of prisms, which had been sought by goverment, and any other inquiries in progress, were calculated to finally fix the dietary in county and boroegh gaols upon • sound and scientific basis ; sod who were tie gentlemen to whom the subject had bean referred, sad how had their inquiry been conducted. Sir G. GREY mid that fall information eu the subject would in a short time be laid cm the table of the hoses. THE MURDER ON BOARD THE SAXON. Sir J. ELPUJNSTONE 'eked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had reosived the re port of the ooart of inquiry held on Acting Master llama hawse, or Donovan, of the United States ship Vanderbilt, for the murder of Mr. Jamie Grey, mete of the ship Saxon, at Angry. Paquin, held at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, with the finding thereof ; abo the proceedings of the court martaal subsequently held upon him, with the remarks of the Seers. tery to the Navy of the United States, and the cone spondee*, of Lord Lyons cm the subject ; and if so, whether ha would la y the papers upon the table of the home. Mr. L &YARD said the inquiry alluded to was of a private character. The government bad no information as to what bad taken place, or the finding of the court. The ow wan then submitted to a court-martial, and a verdict was pro bounced, bat that verdict had not yet received the ratifica tion of the government. All the information which they had was from the shorthand writer's notes taken by • parson employed by the cooed ; they had no official informa tion yet as to the dickies of the ooart.

PERCUSSION CAPS FOR MILITARY PRACTICE. Mr. W. MORRISON wished to know whether the atten tive of the War-office had bees called to the character and quality of the permed= caps issued for practice to the army. The Marquis of HARTINGTON mid it was true that complaints had beau made by volunteers of the caps sup plied to them, but no complaints had yet been received from Me army. A short time ago an improved kind of percussion cap bad been submitted for experiment ; the invention was I now undergoiag trial, and a report bad been called for by the Hone Guards as to the quality of those now in use. EDUCATION. The orders of the day were postponed until after the notice of Mr. Adder ley on the education minute had been disposed of. ADDERLEY then moved a resolution to the effect that the bones having 000sktered the Minute of Council of the 11th of March,lB64, on endowed schools, was of opinion that it did not meet the objections made to the minute on the 19th of May, 1863. The right hoe. gentleman obis/reed that the principal of theme objections was that the latter minute would have swept the endowment. of all schools into the Treasury, and that this proposal, being contrary to the feelings of the house, the late Vice-President of the Conceit of Education was obliged to change his tiestios and best a retreat. A new meat* was accordingly issued oo the 19th of May, and ha trusted the house would condemn that as unanimously as they had the other. That minute proposed to exempt from general and indiscriminate confiscation the small rural school of the country, defined as schools of 1,200 square feet ; but • proviso was added that eves in the case of them small iostitutiona, though they were not to have their sr dowmeots wholly confiniated, they should be so far takes from them that the government grant and endowments to gether should not exceed 15e. • head for the pupils. He submitted that this proposition was opposed to the former decision of the house, and met at naught its authority. Mr. WALTER opposed the motion upon the ground that he objected to the whole principle of these endowments being respected in the distribution of the governmeet gaunt, whether the amount VIII small or large. Mr. H. BRUCE defended the minute of May, sod urged that, as the contribution of the state was given to supply a seed where it existed, the grant ought not to be made where such need did not exist. He did not deny that there might be abuses under the present system, and that some schools received money that were not entitled to it, end this was • matter to which the committee of council were directing their attention. It was of mat importance that the public money should not bosquan&rei, and he believed that on the whole the new minute, so far from blunting the edge of voluutaryeffort, would rather elicpen it. Upon • division, the motion was negatived by 119 to 111. The debate on the nomination of • select committee on the reports of the inspectors of education (adjoarned from Tuesday night) was then resumed, the point at issue being whether the committee should consist of 15 members, which was the original proposition of the government, or of five members, to be nominated by the general committee of elections, aa proposed by Mr. Clay, and to favour of which ministers had abandoned their own propose!. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Bouvelie, and Sir F. Baring supported the amendment of Mr. Clay, which I was opposed by Mr. Disraeli. Mr. BRIGHT said ha understood that neither the noble lord the member for Stamford, nor the hoc. member for Bradford, intended to oast any imputation on the right hon. gentleman the member for Cans ; and be believed the impression made upon the house by the right. hon gentleman's explana ti on wee such that every member, without exception, wished that the resolution bad not been passed. He thought that the right hon. gentleman bad been badly treated by the government. Five or six weeks had passed sine this un fortunate matter occurred. The proper course for • power ful minister defending a colleague whom be believed to be innocent would have been to ask the house to rescind its resolution. (Hear, hear.) The government had not taken that course; and now that the question bad dragged on for weeks, the question arose what kind of commies.", should be formed. He had had no communication with the right hon. gentleman the member for ; bet he had beard from those who were likely to know his views that he thought the case in which lue reputation and character were involved would be tried more satisfactorily to himself and to all who took an interest in him, by five members than by fifteen, and he would put it to hon. gentlemen opposite whether, if they were placed in a similar position, they would not feel that they had • right to have their wishes consulted is such a matter. He believed there was no necessity for a committee at all, but if them was to be one he should support I the motion of the hon. member for Hull. The question was then put, and the house cleared for • division, but the amendment of Mr. Clay was afterwards adopted without • division having taken place. On the question being formally put that the committee should consist of live persons, Lord R. CECIL mid that after the appeal made by the • hon. member for Birmiogbani he thought it would be hardly fair to the right hon. member for Caine to refuse to him the kind of committee which he wished to have appointed. He I should observe, however, that as the amendment woe origin ; ally proposed it contained no suggestion of the appointment of smossors. Mr. CLAY said that be had contemplated the appoint , meet of armors, as had been done in preceding oases of the some kind. although be had made no proposal to that effect He took it for granted that on. of the assessors would be • ; gentleman who was most interested in the attack, ad the , other the Vice-President of the Committee of Council. 'rho motioo was then agreed to. Mr. 800 VERI E next moved that, as in the case of Mr. Stoner tee peen moo, two other members of the homes should be named by the relleral committee of selection, sad appointed to serve on the committee, with power to •Za• Wilke wiener, but without the right of voting. ~6 ITT. ti 7 - • "! t• , Y• .% •! 7 'IE XPEEBB, FRIDAY B V ENING, JUNE 3, 1864. manWil=ol/ON. aged wh amatety would bt e t her. miesai; ea earApseabaut atm to,l that eapift?

The plaintiff seeing all these emblems of dignity and title advanced the money and placed the brougham and harness with a person named Jackson, a livery-stable.keeper, as the plaintiff supposed, carrying on business in the Gray's-inn-road. Captain Logan called a mowed time on the plaintiff and obtained another loan of 361. on the etsohope and harness in question, which articles were also takes to Oray's-iee-rmicl, and ppat into Jackson's custody. After Logan had base to h, and it was known be was is custody for stealing a watch, plaintiff made inquiries at the stables, and he then disco vered that the stanhope and harness had been taken away and sold. Logan had purchased the harness, but had borrowed the stanhope for tour years, with the option of purchase, and paid the first year's hire, of Mr. King, ooaeli. maker, Long-acre.

In cross-examusation he said he had been in occupation of the house in Pantos-street about twelve months, but during that time it had not been resorted to by females. It was confined to the legitimate purposes of his business, He first knew Logan about two or three yams ago, and he bad had betting transaction with him. He did not advance the money in order to allow Logan to pay the deposit to the coschmaker. Whitty told him he had taken away the Koper% and had been paid • sovereign for his trouble, but he did not my by whom.

Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said that the turf vase truly British amusement, and betting with some persona was a respectable transaction, bat that the pings of persons who hung about t o b accon i s t s ' shops and public-houses, with ditty books and little bits of pencils, eastineully making mudry notes, were generally speaking the most disreputable vagabonds in the land, aad therefore he called upon the jury to be very careful how they received the plaintiff's and one of hie witasse's evi dence. If he proved to the jury that the defendant had bought and paid fall value for the property he thought they would ballet* before they deprived him of it en the evi dence of two such people.

Oe that night he received • printed copy of the roles from the de hardens, the secretary of the society. Orres-examisad—Tien were • great many members Tore soot when the rides were given to him.

There were 10,700 members in the society, and 8,000 were trying to get a proper book of rules. Macs the rules had been certified by Mr. Pratt several alterations had been made, but not cer tified as they ought to lave been. He had made *airier at Mr. T.

To support an indictment against the defendant it must be shown that something unlawful was done or in- I tended. The Alt/ratios referred to have been made from time to time by several committees. Mr. Knox said the erasure from the rules of • paid au ditor appeared to him to be a vital matter. It was clear that a large body of the members wished to remove the defeedant The simplest way to meet such a ease was for the secretary to resign, and then if the majority of the members wee in hie favour tthbeeyy could reelect him.

Mr. Knox said be could not exonerate the defendant from the charge that he had been circulating rules altered from the rules certified by Mr. T. Pratt. The defendant, he was told, had stated that be would hold Aloe in defiance of the members. Now he would remand the eerie for a fortnight, to give the defendant time to consider his determination, and if at the next examination the matter wee not satisfactorily settled be would commit the defendant for trial. Hs would recommend that a summons be also taken out against Howard, who acted as chairman on the night when the rules were issued to the complainant. 11/11CHISTIN Jon 2.—Phan was only a moderate atteadimee at ear market this morning.

WOOL MO) WORSTED. BRADFORD, June 2. The wool market to-day is exceedingly quiet, though the prior of Mosiday were pretty firmly maintained. The time, however, is apparently one of transition—prices are unset tled and may still further decline— and spinners are indisposed to operate, although they may be in want of wool. Though buyers of wool do not seem more disposed to operate than they were on Monday, holders are much more firm in their demands, and there is no tendency to decline. In worsted yarns, there is a pretty steady demand for home consunap tins, but the foreign merchant. are doing little or nothing. Prices, however, are maintained with great firm. Dien j spinners being well employed on old' ceders. Very little improvement has taken place on the piece trade since Monday.
