Although he and his party regretted that, from the pecubar mintier in which public business had been br - them before the house by the government, they were ob:iged to pi-it-loiter 000claaious which ought to be post pa:m.lwatt! many prellmiaary discussions had taken place which might acidify their °plebe., he had deemed it hie duty tapir. nott..z of thia rewilution, in order to afford the house an epportunity of remedying an evil of no slight mag situ& ; for, if the house should go into committee upon the Camases Ac e, sal adopt the resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the treaty would, in his °plaice, come before the hoc-e. If the Customs Acts posed, the mint of parliament, provided for by en article in the treaty, would Imre been How, then, was the house to deal with questions in the treaty which had nothing to do with customs duties?

If the redaction. sad minim ions of duty under the treaty were made, he wanted to how the government pr 'posed to subject the tre sty to the oonetitu- Monet coming of the House of Commons. He thought the house amid not do better, in order to extricate itself from a difficult sod humiliating position, than follow the prece dramt of the treaty with France of 1788. Mr. Pitt in the following year cuter! the atteetioe of the Home of Commons to the Fri orb tiesty, moving resolutions which embodied the gist cat the treaty; these rmadatimes were passed and reported , an address to the Crown was agreed to, I which a.o eeot up to the House of Lade, and it was not until ah bosses hal coecutred in the address, and parliament had had a constitute:mai opportunity of cuaidetior the treaty, that Mr. Pitt introduced his Ciu,oliilation Act.

It is satiefectory to know, even although it is through this treaty, that, whatever differences of opinion there may be on other eubjects, oa the prise* of protection to native industry these two greet commies are in perfect bikeway. Free-trade principles may be a good thing, bat permit me to sty that coestitudomal principles are bettor. (Opposition cheers.) This treaty of commerce appears to be an instra meet which has silenced our I. gislature. Dom'{ let It turn out that in unrest it Into effect we shall have deprived another legislature of Its COOMi'lltiOnal privilege. (Oprel lion cheers.) That is what I wish to impress oaths feeling of the borne to-night. I esniestly entreat her Majesty's Ministers to force us into • theist= on this queetion—l ask them fairly to meet the points I have placed before them, and not merely by concurrence and co-operation, but, by • lead ing ageniy, to bring back the booms to that path of public busiest , a from which, I think, we have most unfortunately deviated. I accuse the government-1 will not use the word accuse—l imp'. e to the government nothing beyond inad vertence, but it is an thedvertioce which, if petered in, will lead to great parliamentary ini onvenisece, perhaps ultimately to great public injury, I maintain that It is the right of the House o f Commons that this treaty should be Gahml toil frankly to our coostitutioaal revision. I maintain that it we persist In the course of bust as-s now reoontreenried all practical control over Its provi sion' is loot. It is a (louden which concerns the privileges of this boom, the freedom of debate, end all those other con siderstioos which I hope never will become party questions moues , no. I want ministers to feel that they may take the lies I indicate not merely with honour but with dignity, fns I suppose the time has not yet come wham an English minuet* , shall feel himself in • false position because he yields tithe privileges of the House of Contromoi,and acknowledges the authority of parliament. (Loud opposition cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EICBEQUER—Sir, the right hon. gentleman, in the motion which he has proposed to-aight, abandoning for the mist part, although not with satire consistency throughout his speech, those more inte resting topics of • general nature which are connected with the dilative' proposal of the government, has called attention to • matter which, however Important, is still strictly a p Ant of procedure. I think it is for the convenience of the house that we should avoid, as far as possible, a general col latent' discussion, and on that account I do not see the psealfwedventage of importing into this debate • criticism es the soesistency and competency of Mr. Cobden. (Beer, brew.) I do not thlnk it was at all necessary for the pur pose or dignity of this booms that the right hos. gentleman should commence his speech with an explanation,however in teresting it may be to us, who had not the privilege last week of being sammeeed to • metes assembly, of the grounds which endued him to think be had come to • better deshima this wee then arrived at, and to explain his change of purpose and peoceiders to the other side of the house. I Aida have greatly couipinsed on the head of the right hon. lend' ia if we were to be deprived of • comprehensive de bate en the motion of the hoer. member for Essex ; and per mit me be say that there is no gentlemen of his standing on that side of the house to whom an important motion might be more safely entrusted, (Opposition cheers.) But I make no complaint, I merely allude to the moot, and pass on to the other portion of his speech. Neither shall I eater into • discussion on the constitution of France, or the position of the deputies. (A laugh.) With the permission of the right hon. gentleman I shell defer that discussion until the second reading of the Reform Bill of my noble friend. (Laughter.) I want to come to the matter which has been raised by the motion of the right hon. gentleman, the point of which although narrow, I admit to be one of great importance. I must begin by tendering my thanks to the right hen. gen tleman. He says that we have coined the Queen to commit en uooonstitutional and illegal act, and that oar proceeding is also an invasion of the privileges of the Hoses of Commons. If that be true, never was there better grimed for a party charge ; end hew chivalrous, then, was the conduct of the right hon. gentleman in meting over us his protecting arm on the ground that all this terrible oils chief was dune merely through inadvertency (load cheers)—the greatest example of that Christian charity, to which some of us at least were yesterday exhorted, that I seer saw ecbibitsd, (Loud cheers and laughter,) Bat I meat" accept the apology which the right boa. gentleman bee kindly made for us, no more than I can on the pert of the government the motion that he has produced, and which he says it would be consistent with our propriety and dignity to accept. The dignity of • government is • matter upon which different gentlemen fa &threat situations may have a different opinion ; but I meet eosin that if we have been guilty of a course involving the consequences mentioned by the right hon. gentleman, we have gravely erred in our duty, and the beet attitude we tea assume in 'sizing the helping hand which the right hen. gentleman holds oat to us is not an attitude of calm and insulted dignity, but rather so attitude of penitence and dependence on hie forgiveness But I contend that the right hon. gentleman is correct wither in his facts nor in his principles—(laughter)—and that the course we have adopted is • muse directed by general propriety, by respect for the dignity of the House of Com mons, end likewise by what the right hon. gentleman never mentioned, but which haa been in the minds of her Majesty's goveramsot, a regard for the great Matches of trade out of doors which are depending on the reenVil of this act. (Loud cheers.) m The right lion. gentleman then read from the of the house some of the resolutions moved by Mr. Pe fa 1787, and some of the proceedings thereupon, sad he denied that the government had withdrawn the treaty from the cognisant's of the house or abandoned the roomiest of Mr. Pitt. He could not understand, he said, west were Mr. Dierasli's notions of the respective functions of the the crown and of parliament in respect to treaties. As to the motion itself, he did not know what it meant, sod he believed Mr. Derail' himself did not know what it meant. By the 14th article it was provided that the treaty should be In (ores when parliament had given the Necessary legislative saactioo which was the passing of the act of porlisteetit which settled that part of it which related to England, and the 20th article only referred to tee rati fication as regarded France. The motion, if it meant anything, meant that the house should pees a tie d& sarong to each article of the treaty. 8o far from with drawing the treaty from the meditation of the house, the precedent of Mr. nu had bees followei in every ;tore, except such es the slowed circumstances of the tunes required. It was not tbs custom to make known treaties of commerce to the house by measage from the crows. The discussion in hand wee simply puerile. The course taken by the government was founded simply on the neemeity of despatch in matters connected with the trade sad eimanierce of the country, sal they proposed to bring Wine parliament In • direct form all the provinces of the treaty which required legislative sanlion. It was the intim tits of the goverment, if the house adopted those portions of the treat y which required legislative r eac ti on , to submit it se • whole for Its assent. And, let me add (continued the right hoe. gentleman) that we don't intend to do that as supposing it to be nervesery fa order to fulfil the tome of the treaty which require the legislative reaction or resat of perliament, beams we hold distlaoly that the only mode In which parliament can, la the strict sense of the word, esent to a treaty, is by giviag effect to tines provi sloes which require legislation. Or object is not to obtain the assent of parliament to a treaty, for parliament cannot assent to • treety. How can a ffactuating body sweet to • treaty ? The king never dew, but pertianiest does die, and It cannot assent to • treaty, because It may itself be dissolved to morrow. It is not for the purpose of obtaining Its assent to the treaty in any rigid or jedictal Wei of the word that we appeal to parilemeet, brat it is because her Majesty's government think it desirable to secure all the moral might and Penetiell that can be given to an Instrument of this kind, in order that it may fulfil all the great purposes fir which it was designed. I have detained the committee rattier longer theta I iateaded. (Cheers.) I have bat tote word more to say, and that relates to • charge by the right hon. g entle m an. He thinks that he has lighted up on • rest godsend when he lade that Mr. Pitt separated his treaty from his twigs*. Hs with exultation to the cisme whieb Mr. Pitt Fleet of all he 'aye, there c l aohne woe the proceeding on batty, thee there nee the ;ere mines cm the cuatoess Nl* and thee there wee the hedger. Here then is the menthe of the right her. patieresn's mote. The fault of which the government ere guilty is that they have combined the treaty sad the badges in one proceeding. (Ironical cheers from Mr. Newdlegerc) Very *sod. What oug to they to have dome ? It is very trey to poi.% oat the laccnveniencesof soy course wlthlimity have berm takes with regard to • great and complicated subject ; but I watt to see what ware it is that the wisdom of parliament. as re wagered by my hon. Wend who has just cheered—(laugh ter)—would have had a, adept. I unders'and my hoe.

The fight hem gentleman has mated to-night for the Scat time that he disks the principlet of free trade are very good priaolphs. Ima sorry that this should ham best his first essay le (Meg AMA to his new opinion. In point of fact, sir, oar dei he mixing up the treaty with the budget may be gempriesd la two seatenoes. In the Set plea we comfier that all emissive legislation is mainly out of the question, sad that is one of the Brat pritl, tbas want to me tested by the vote of the hems to- t. Semadly, the comes we have adopted has had reference spatial, and exclusively to pleb* on , venoms. (Elearlem.) We were about to propose to par- liament that it shoe* give its sanction to a treaty with Frame which involved recensions of duty to an meat little short of 2,000,0001., sad surreedar for tha year ma amount of roman* somewhat exceeding 1,000,0001. Now, sir, I west to know what would have been the position of the government if they had come down to parliament, especially in this meelal year 1880, or in any year, sad said— We wish you to remit taxes to the amount of nearly 2.000,0001., to permits revenue amounting to about 1,000.0001., but we cannot tell you yet what are to be the finstriel arraignneate el the year ? (Cheers.) Sir, that is the justification of our combining the treaty sad the budget, end I am certain that this h o s e w ill no t fa ll fa a lament to see the sufilciency of that justification. (Cheers.) Nay, more, I will venture to my this, that had the right am. gentleman been • minioer and made this commercial treaty with France—and he is a great admirer of commercial Umtata with that country—the force of CfrOUMBLIZION, the force of ressoo, the fair of resistant*, and even of ridicule, would have prevented him from commg down to the House of Commons, and sang that house to commit itself vitally with respect to the revenue of the year, sad at the seas time neglecting to tell the Imam what were Ike postal arrangt roasts which he contempleted with regard to the revenue and expenditure of the year. Sir, I have said sufildeut, I think, to show the hates that on the question of procedure the right her. geatlemen has, fa tact, complained of our not ha nag committed ea error of the grossest kind, and one which, if we had oesamittad it, the Home of Commons would have speedily corroded fur us, while ex peeping, in anequivond term*, to mane of the folly el our proceedings. Sir H. CAIRNS followed, generally niters** Me. Disreelr's arguments, but gine( theca a mare legal septa. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL also mimed MS the law of the question, replying to Sir H. Calras—mateadiag that he heel only eddied to the erreasous exectMeleas of Mr. Oneself. ltir F. LILLY disputed the easeerselion pet by the Cho:manor of the Saoheqaer upon the 14th said 70th arti cles of the treaty, the effect of which was that Use treaty would be invalid until the whole, In its entirety, ahaU bare bees sanctioned by parliament. He pointed out the 0311- •equecose of a decision of the house adverse to the Ilth metals after s redaction or remission of duties by the resolutions. It any one vote should be rejected by the hones it would be impossible to adopt the treaty, or even for her Majesty to outman it to the approval of the house. This difficalty would have been avoided oy • strict adherence to the precedent of 1787. Mr. NEWDEGATE maintained that the mute taken by perernment was not only repugnant to the precedent set by Mr. Pitt, but wee not consistent with the pectic* of the house. Be preessiel against the treaty as one-sided. As no woretnr rem, The APEALIR, after a pause, rose to put the question, but - Mr. ATRTON rose and said what they were asked to do was dessibed in one of the petitions as "a bar tering away of the labour of the people of this country ;" and surely before they did that It wade not too much to sib for an opportunity of serious deliberation. In day, gone by. when the home knew that it did not represent the people—s fact whisk parliament sow seemed slow to learn—it was more diary of the rights and liberties of the people. This boom used la those days to hear petitions at the bar, and though that preens, had fallen into desuetude, the people had still a right to be heard by their represtiotatives. (Heat, hear.) He should support the amendment. Mr. MA LINS regretted the tone which had characterised the speeches on the other side, who bad east the moths of his right how. friend with bitten:es andearessa. (Limrhter.) The nation had bees taken by surprise. There was a *shag prevalent that their beet rights had been bartered away, ant that the bargain wee one-sled and gave them so ade quate ocsaideratlon. (Hear, sad chaos.) The opposition to she treaty was general, and so great la fact was the number of letters which hon. members re ceived protesting against It, that he quite expected the right hon. gentleman would find hie deficiency made up by the biasses In the revenue of tbs post-ottiee. He thought the course proposed was ill-considered and unfair. Although they have • majority to-night, stiU it wee a course I. which tha government could not persist. The duty of the house wee to consider the terms of the treaty fist ; and, haring agreed to them, they could then reduce the duties. Hs would ask the government what was their motive in shirk ing the genetics, sad proosodiag in this moot unnaturaland improper menhir ? ("Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") Mr. BRIGHT and Lord J. Busertt roar together, but the calls being for Mr. Bright that honourable gen tleman said that from the very animated manner of the honourable and leaned gentleman who had just sat down a stranger might have been led to imagine that some grave qualities wee before the house. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) But he (Mr. Bright) had listened to every sentence which had &Iles in the mums of the debate, end he thought it hardly possible to tell what they were dis cussing. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire said he had oonsultod nobody but the boo. and learned member for Belfast, who was not a very bad soldier to have by his side in a great party fight ; still, he (Mr. Bright) could not discover, from the motion or speech of the right hon. gentleman, the real object of his amendment. The house, however, got at it in the speech of the hon. member for North Warwick shire (Mr. Newdepts), and he did not blame that hon. member for the course which he had taken, although he could not understand the point from which he viewed this question. But he remand spoke, and denounced the whole thing. He did not believe in the treaty, nor in the principles which his leader said were good. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member stood up and stated his opinions—although they were as he (Mr. Bright) believed erroneous—and his object was to get rid of this treaty. (Hear, bear.) Now, what was the true object el boa. members on the opposition side of the bowie—and he would observe that it was not an incompatible side to sit upon ? Why they were opened to this treaty. Thee why did they act, instead of carping at it in private and making vicious stabs is that houm, fairly stets that the treaty was 'a mistake, and that the Queen had been badly advised in entering into It, and that parliament might not to follow the course recommended by the government ?

Kr. & FITZGERALD protested 4alost the reply of Mr. Gladahos to Kr. Diarnsii u chareoterbed by more unfair hue W mitejaaatatatiaa thee arty aiseett Le bed its, kaatd la that house. He then eith no marked variation lo psided the arguments which had been used on the side of Ike quid= which he edema:tea, except a pee4ng sneer at Lad J. Russelre capacity for the conduct of foreign affairs may halo aciaithrod. Lord 3. RUSSELL said that Ewes only from the two last =t the other side of the hem that be usderdood on amps and °hied of 'hateable was • otnaideration of and discussion on every adiale of the treaty, • conies which would be inconsistent with the prerogative of the crown, sad that proposition came from a party calling half conser vative. It was claiming • right larger than that exercised by the Senate of the United Sadie. Mr. Pitt, in 1786, did not submit all the articles of his treaty to toe house, but only those which required the assent of parliament. The °ours' adopted by the goverment now was the only plain and rational course which they could pursue. Referring to the article on coal, which had been used es an argument as ii it contained a secret intention of war on the part of France, he ob jected to suchincessant intimations of the warlike intentions of that country aphid England; and expressed his belief that the treaty originated in the opinion entertained by the , Emperor of the power of fee trade to make Frances peon porous and happy in pesos as he desires to see her strong and prepared for war. He believed too, that ere long that portion of the people of Francs who were most in favor of prohibition would see the adventste of a system which was founded on the principles of *tetrads. He indignantly protested against a small and undedsed attack on a great measure which, if at all, should nodose fair, open, straight- forward, and manly opposition. 11r. HORSHAM said, if he might be allowed to tell the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he thought wee the real distinction between Sir R. Peers policy and his, he would say it was this, that Sir R. Peal was • gentleman who laid out • portion of his income in draining his land expecting that from • larger produce he would get means to pay his debts; while the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Iowa& afraid, rather represented the spendthrift who squandered the money which might have fertilised the soil, and when his debts fell due went on the highway and robbed the first comer—(load cheers from the opposition). He must soy that be con sidered the proposed remission of the paper duty beyond all comparison the mod important financial missuie submitted to parliament by any minister of our day, not from the nature or amount of the tax, but from the principle they were es tablishing and the grave consequences which might flow from it. (Hear, hear.) But the abolition of one source of revenue and the substitution of an income tax was no relief from taxation ; it was only shifting the tax from one class to another. (Hear, hear.) It was manifestly uejuat that the Chancellor of the Ittobequer should dwell for three Cana:of an hear upon the evils of the tax se abolishing, and peon by without one single word the greater fraud and immorality he was perpe trating. This year the government had • measure to remit the paper duty—(cries of "Question")—and by suchmems they went on from step to step, year by year remitting in direct taxes and levying direct taxes—(Oppos ition cheers) ; and they did this without any inquiry sa to their justice. (Hear, hear.) By this means they were shifting the whole taxation of the country from on. class on to another, which being done without any inquiry became arbitrary and tyran nical class taxation of the worst kind. (Loud Opposition ' cheering) The house might well complain that the Chancel lor of the Exchequer was inflicting heavy burdens of taxation and enforcing these upon new principles; but the right hon. gentleman might mower that he was only carrying out the policy of the government under this new treaty, their policy being to have • large war estimate this year, in order to give us security spinet France. But the house might say, " Why, you have jut concluded a treaty of peace with Franco. Let us ass that treaty, because then you may re duos thaws estimates " The government, however, refused, and said it required • large increase in the estimatei, became It had now to raise taxes for war, and at the same time to pay subsidies for peace. (Hear, hear.) We addressed our allies with a sword in one head and • sop In the other—(chasm)—and whits we remitted two mil lion of taxation we added ten millions to the sum en soooant, In order that we might be prepared to meet the Emperor in the shook of war. (Hear, hear.) It was this double policy which ha could not comprehend. We had at one and the mine time the commas of peace sad the expenses of war. If we could have peace with France let the government make every effort that a civilised end Christian country could make to obtain the bigwigs alma, sad to avert the crime. and calamities of war. If, on the other head, we were to have weir with France, let us gird up ourselves for that war ; but this system of peace and war expenses wee altogether grievous and perplexing. (Hem, hear.) It wee small comfort to be able to say that the house knew the government had pace on their lips when they had war in their budgets and in their councils. (Opposition cheers.) Therefore they said, " Produce your treaty." (Loud cheering from the opposition.) The hon. member foe Birmingham had said, " Why don't you manfully oppose the treaty ?" (Government chows.) The noble lord the member for the City of London and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer cheered that , but what he (Mr. Herman) would say was, " Why don't you manfully produce the treaty, and ask our opinion of it"—(oppoeition cheering)—and ask the house, ea Mr. Pitt did, to go into committee mad pronounce judgment upon it. (Hear, hear.) But there was one great blot In the treaty which made the government unwilling to discuss it. The treaty was but • screen and cloak for those armaments of Francs which we should have to rival. (Cheers.) If its object was peace, why did not the negotiations of the government go more directly to the point ? (Hear, hear.) Why not have told the Emperor of the French that it was this rivalry of arms menta which was the great bar to peace—(opposition cheers) —and that we would reduce our French tariff if he on his side would dismantle his navy, which would be a great saving to us ? (H ear _ bear.) A negotiation of th at kind would have ambled the government to come down to the bonne with clean hands. He should like to know whether any part of the negotiation was to turn upon the respective armaments of the two countries. ' Hs considered that if it were not pointed out to Franca that it was this rivalry of armaments that stood in the way of peace, a great duty had been neglected. (Hear, hear.) If any each negotiation was attempted, and failed, then he thought it would have been more befitting English ministers to have said, " We decline • delusive treaty, which we must submit to parliament supported by professions which our sots deny." (Hear, hear.) The government ought to have said the English were a plain dealing, troth-loving people. (Hoar, bear.) The house would have thought it an insult on their uerstand- Inge if they had been told they were not arming against France. Everybody knew that we had been arming to the teeth, and yet at such a time the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was abolishing the drake on French wines and tax ing Beglish beer— (laughter, and opposition obsers)—ed mating luxuries, and taxing the necessaries of Hfs of the poor—(bear)—relleviug French customs and raising the English income-tax, out of favour and friendship to a rival against whom we were arming, drilling, fortifying, volun teering and bedgeetering—(loud laughter, and cheers)—to prepare for a war, not for empire, bat.for oar very exist ence. (Cheers.) Lord PAL MERSTON would not have taken part in the debate but for the speech that had just been delivered. All the other speeches had Imo utterly demolished by the Mel:mess of Mr. Madam and Lord 1. Ruseall. He vin dicated the course taken by the government, which he thought so clear that he wondered that a division was sought on the present moths, so clearly was it • mistake sod an Inadvertence. Mr. Herman, seeing that the opposition were in great distress, like • good Sama ritan delivered • speech which he had prepared for a different occasion and another phase of the discomfits, and without touching on the melon, dashed into the whole question of the budget. Hie arguments went to advocate a system of non-intercoms* with Pram, for anything which tended to make her more and more industrial was a danger to England. (Mr. onman here rose to explain, but Lard Palmerston did not give way for some time; the oppoaition loudly cheering Mr. Horsoldi, and the noble lord being as loudly cheered on Dia side.) He should not follow that right hon. gentleman's example of going foto the budget, beyond denying the assertion that it was a falling away from the principles of Sir Robert Peel. The question be fore the house was only one of procedure, and that &lone. • peat crowd of members had gatbered behind the bar, la readiness for a division, end immediatoly on Lord Pelmergeon's Miming his /OM, there were loud cries of "Divide." Mr. Bowyer rows sad was understood to move the adjournment of the debate; but the proposition was received with such overwhelming signs of disappro bation. that he withdrew it. The question was then put. During the meal interval there were sons arise of " Agreed ;" but on the question being pot a second time, a tremendous shoot of " No" answered the " Ayes" from the right. The house win cleared at twenty minutes post twelve ; aid at twenty-five minutes to ens the tellers emerged from the crowd that blocked up the doorway. The appearance of Mr. Brand, the government teller, bearing the paper, was the signal for loud cheers from the minis terial benches.

Mr. Willi = Mena; l';;;le - 4;11, described u a merchant, residing at No. I, Balt lloon-amest, Piccadilly, was charged with unlawfully misappropriating 106 shares in the London and Westminster Bank, value of 4,0001., and certain stock in the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, value 2.501, with intent to def raud Mrs. Anne Bruce Borland and others. Mr. Hump hreys, jun. (of the firm of Humphreys and Morgan, of Newate-street), appeared for the prosecution, and stated that he was instructed in this case on behalf of Mee. Borland and her three daughters to prosecute the pri soner who, as their trustee under the will of the late Mr. &when, Iliad misappropriated shares and stock to the value of about 7,0001. The circumstances which led to the discovery of the fraud alleged against the de fendant were these. Mr. Strachan died in 1848, leaving this property to Mrs. Borland for her lite with rever sion to her daughters at her decease. One of the executor' subsequently went to Australis, end another died, leaving the prisoner sole executor and trustee, in consequence of which Mr.. Borland wished other trustees appointed and arrange ments were made for carrying out her wishes, when It wee found that of the 132 shares in the London and Westminster Bank 105 had been sold as low as twelve months previous, and the 2501. stock in the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail way had been also appropriated in a similar manner. A bill in Chancery was therefore filed to prevent the primer from disposing of tbo remaining twenty-seven bask shares, and the authority and sanction of Sir Richard Bethel! and Vies- Chancellor Wood obtained to prosecute the prisoner under the Fraudulent Trustees Act. e (Mr. Humphreys) proposed to place before the court theevidence of the officer who appre hended the prisoner, and the information sworn to by Borland, for the purpose of obtaining the warrant, and then to ask for a remand to enable him to complete the case. John Mark Bull, a City detective officer, said—l appre hended the prisoner upon a warrant on fiaturdai evening last, as be was eatering No. 1, Half Moon-street, Piccadilly. Miss Borland was with me, and identified him as the person named in the warmest, which I read to biro. He said diffi culties bad overtaken him for some lime par, but that if these proceedings had been delayed a week later ne doubt all matters would have been arranged. He said he regretted Mrs. Borland had taken them steps, as be had received greater kkdneet from her than he had from his own family. I searched the prisoner, but found nothing upon him relative to theehuge. Miss Jean Bruce Borland, of 6, Portland-road, Kilmer meth, in the county of Ayr, and 3, Oloucester-plms, Oakley square, Camden - town raid—l produce a copy - of the will of the late William Stem:him, under which my mother is en titled to a life-Interest in the dividends on his shares in the London and Westminster Bank, and all shares in endways held by him at the time of his death. The trustees and exe cutors were William Lewis, Edward Hicks Finch, and W. Francis Vandervell, the latter having been sole executor ethos April, 1864. There were 132 Mares in the London and Westminster Bank, and 2501. in London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Stock. The dividends were regularly paid by Mr. Vandervell up to July, 1869, when my mother and my sisters, who will participate with we under the will, In the shares and dividends at my mother's decease, Lewin desirous of appointing new trustees, which was ultimately arranged, and Mr. Vandervell undertook to transfer the shares and stork into our four name*, for which purpose my mother received from him the two forms of transfer produced on the 10th of July, 1869, one far the transfer of the bank shares, and the other for that of the railway stock. He sent the forms for us to execute and return to him. On the 12th of October last I went to the London and Westminster Bank, and modused the trans fer of the 132 shares to a genileman there, who informed me the bank would not acknowledge it, and advised meat once to place the matter in my solicitor's hands. I did so, and he wrote to the bank, and the following is an extract from the reply received :—" It is proper I should mention that no more than n Mares have stood in the name of Mr. Vander vell far upwards of • year past, the other shares having been previously sold." My solicitor then wrote, pursuant to my directions, to the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. and received the following rep! "The sum of 2601. was transferred by Mr. Va in September last, bat not to the name of Borland. The dividend upon the above was paid to Mr. Vandervell on the sth of August last." A bill was flied on the 14th of October, 1859, spinet the said W. Francis Vandervell, at the snit of my mother, my sisters, and toyed, to restrain him from transferring any part of the remaining trust funds. I produce a flat signed " Richard Bethel'," which I believe to be the Miniature of the Attorney-Oeneral, allowing me to prosecute Mr. VandervelL I also produce the sanction of Vice-Chancellor Wood to this prosecution. Mr. Humphreys, upon this evidence, applied for a remand. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mews. Sawbrldgeworth, for the defence, said he had only been instructed in the matter within the hour, and feeling that it was a one that must be further investigated, he would not Unable the court at ;resent with any remarks upon the evidence. He would, however, ask that the accused should be admitted I. bail, ethich he would undertake should be of a pubatantial character, Alderman Hale then remanded the prleoner, but declined to allow ball.

The whole of the 220 boxes wen conveyed from the railway to the vessel, end shipped in lees than half an hour, and the John Penn accomplished the distance from Dover to Calais (26 miles) in 1 hour and 23 minutes. The whole of the boxes were in the train at Calais an hour before the regular time for starting. Mr. Edward Page, the inspector of mails, together with the regular mail officers, Captain Smithett, Mr. Chterchward, Le., crossed in the John Penn, with the mails, and super intended the arrangements for their despatch on both sides of the water. Mr. Knight, the eaperiotendent of the South- Eastern Railway, also accompanied, and superintended the ar =Lta. The result was most satisfactory, and was acoom er the most favourable circumstances of wind and weather, with so much time to spare as to leave no doubt of an equally favourable recall even under the most adverse cir cumstances. Nothing has been left undone by the authori ties to ensure the regularity, safety, and quick despatch of this most important portion of our mail service.
