Mr. LINDSAY said he seconded the no of Lis wide friend. (bier.) f THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1861. Lard C. PAGET mid he was not alluding to that speech, bet to the speeches he made in 1ei.17 and 1858, when he called the attention of the house to the build. 2gedof hoe , of-battle ships. His honoundile friend them to abstain from the building or conversion el wooden lint-olhattle ships. Now, it would be impossible, immastently with their duty to this public aid the safety of the nary, S. , carry out that resolution at the present tune. Then were four ships now in the docks in process of con genial, and as long as these ships were occupying the derkynon they would not be available for the repair of the fleet at sea, sad that was the reason why it would be ioex pained to agree to the motion, and to give up altogether the envenoms of wooden lineolhattle ships. Thee ships would he out of the docks in the present year, and he sin cerely homed that so more of them would ie couverted. New, with regard to the isexpoliency of building any more weeders ships, there were various arguments used on one miasma the other. His bon. friend told them that iron simald be exclusively used in future for the fleet. He was est prepared, soy did be think that practical naval M were prepared, to sulecribe to that doctrine. (Hear.) The feet we• alleged that iron ship were not 6t for distaat melee, is being ao liable to foul. That was a great defect, as oaf wet element to the strength of a ship of war was tan spied and her eambility of carrying. not numemita belt bisavy vol. Well, iron ships were liable, in warm eilmetem to foul. and unless they were continually docked M was hapassele to maiutain their speed. Some mole of elsowlng than might he ultimate!, arrived at. but accenting to their pew* lights be thought it very undesirable that they simeahl give up building wooden ships. He hisiShore/ore, that that potion of his honour .hioadie resolution would be withdrawn. With raped to the next, be did not know whet his hon. Mood mama by a vessel with guars on only ono deck. (Hr. Livelong ince no anewer.) It ell, he supposed that his boa friend Mid not himself know what he meant. (laughter.) The third part of the resolution declared the a y of spending money for the purpose of adept l ing lg r i lkyanla to iron shipbuilding. In reply to that he had only to state that the Admiralty had no intention of She kind. He did not know whether the ship they were building at Chatham would be cheaper than if it bad been built by contract ; but this he knew, that it was necessary to have at least one more ship built under their own isopectioe, in order that the Admiralty might have fall opportunity of becoming acquainted with the cost. To sbow the necessity of this, he might mention that whilst they were buddies the Warrior it was found neces. au7 that the size of the porta should be reduced in order to suit the 100th. Armstrong gun ; but the contracts had Imes signed far certato diniensims, and thoraces the con. tractors made fresh demands for every alteration. Since then they had found that by giving a fl atter midship sec tion • higher flotation m igh t be attained ; but under coo. tract so alteration coul d be made. The hon. baronet behoved this would limit their contracts for iron ships to three riven, eaniely, the Thames, timayde, and the Mersey; hat be could tell the hon. baronet that tome of the built there had turned out extremely faulty. The boo. baronet opposite had toll the house that lie only cuaesehsl iron ship had been laid down by the late board, and that the recent noes were so slow that they mast be left behind, and would inevitably be captured by the enemy. How were the facts I The speed expected hoot the Warrior was 14 knots. from the Itesiskace sad Defence (small ships) 1115, and from the sow drips, the 4,000 toss shim, 1214. He believed that wry of those vessels thee would pen the greatest lino-of-battle ship in the only. He nested, therefore, that the hoed would not agree to this third resolution, but would leave the matter is the halide al the govern ment. Now, various statements had been made with regard to the French navy ; and his hon. friend, who had put returned from France, was no doubt relied upon by Frenchmen as an authority to explain away the delusions of the people of England respecting French armaments, acd to tell them that there was in reality no pound for their alarm. His boa. friend was wring in him figures ; iu fact, he varied thee, from night to night. In his speech of a previous eveuiog he said that the French had only 88 ships Mr. LINDSAY explained that he had quoted a French return of the efficient ships. On the present occasion he had given the actual number of steam ships. Lord O. PAGED maintained that the statements of the boa. member were totally especially when he alleged that England bad 22 li v o i ro u thattie ships more than all the red of the world combined. Of course everything but deem ships must be put out of the calculation, and making that deduction he found that we had 67 hereof tattle ships building or built, and that the French had 37 ; Spas, 3; Run* 9 ; Italy, I—making 50 in all. (Hear, bras.) He admitted that to be a greet superiority. (Cheers.) Of frigates his bon. (rimed said we had nine more than TIMES ; but the truth was that Enka lad 52 legatee, wow sad paddle, sad that ?roam hod 47 his hon. friend and 43. Anothar radamat cl his boo. friend's was, that nose of the Preach iron ships would be ready for twenodeehalf years, He (Lard C. Paget) did sot meth to say that they would be reedy is Ice, but tine he meant to say, that every one of the Frame iron ships at present in emcee of coustructioa maid be got ready in the coarse of the ensuing summer. The Yeseets, one of the largest, pierced for 52 guns was very seedy ready for launching. It was true the Platn wade' thou have to be put oil, but then it was not fair to say we were making vast preparations, whilst /mace and other nations were doing nothing. He mein liked that it was the duty of the government to take such steps as were necessary for the safety and dignity of the country. His honourable Need had neat stated that the French naval estimates W• 211 only bell the amount of ours ; bat he must remember that we required to have ship in ovary ma. Oar Navy was is fact, be might say, frittered away. " Haar. haw," from Mr. Bright.)

If you would niatataia thew peat fiesta you must be ready to Ivy the piper. If there was one thing for which the late hand was to blame it we for allowing the stock of timber to get so low ; bet that had been since remedied, and now them was such a stock of timber ou hand as they had not had for many years. He should not advert to the little podding reforms in the Admiralty which the boa. member proposed, but should only say that the personnel cost less now than when the estimates were only five or six millions In 14:19, when only :i9,000 men were voted, and the esti mates were six millions, there were 5 lords, 16 'omen stetter*, 4 secretaries, and 20 clerks at Whitehall, mad IS beads, and clerks at Somerset-home, asking 264 Meth vklials. The cost was 102,8011. per annum. In 1861, with 78,2110 rase, and 12112000 S of money, the Admiralty con noted of 6 lonia, 2 secretaries, 5 principal officers, sad 47 clerks at Whitehall, with 223 at Sontersethoma, making 283 individuals, at a cod of 94,780 f. True Shan maim emisiderable number of temporary clerks, bet en there had been at the former time. His hon. friend had also refined to the report of the Dockyard Commission, and he (Lord C. Paget) rust admit the report to be a fair report, but he could have wished that the commission had stated that no thing like malvenatiou was inteodalto be inferred. One meet intelligent and distuagnished superintendent bed seneetly requested hint to remove any such inipresion. leery fra ilty had been peen to the curnmiseion, and the latter would never have discovered the blunders of the Admieslty bad they mot been pointed out. He regretted that their report was so meagre, but at all events it must be admitted that the Admi ralty bad given every facility for going into the aoeooata The hon gentleman said that the cast of ships at Pem broke was at the rate of it 3/. per ton. Lineof-battle ships amonnted to that rum, but the inference which the hem gent:lima would draw from the report of the commission was that the average cost of ships in the navy amounted to 331. memo. Such was sot a fair deduction, foe the ships built at Pembroke were mostly line-of•battle ships, sad the rate of 33/. a ton was not a correct average of the cost no the navy generally. He believed be had now alluded to most of the points adverted to by hie hon. friend. Although he entertained every respect for his judgment in matters of shipbuilding, he sincerely hoped he would Dot Ares, his motion, which in realit7 would operate as a vote of censure on the Admiralty which. he (Lard C. Paget) did not think they dererved. He thought that the Admiralty during the past year bud shown army dna, to correct defects, whether in the deputisest of the navy or in the manner of keeping Hs No taunts. He believed he had now gives more aft& is to the navy then bad been given befor•—(hear, Marl — sad it was has intention to give such informetion firma time to time. (Hear, heir.) The desire of the government was to keep the navy of this country in the position which oar safety and Interests demanded; but as thin intention would be aorompauied by einleivoure on the part of the Heard of Admiralty to combine economy with efficiency, he trusted the house would not and to the resolutions which had sow been placed spun the table. (Hear, hear.) Mr. RENTINCK said it appeared to him that kis hew Isbell (Mr. Lindsay) took a somewhat singular course, end that ha relied epos grounds which did out bear out the eon4usioits at which be bail arrived. With regard to the Heard of Admiralty he (Mr. Bentiock) believed that it M was defective it was the duty of the House of Common, to effect its reconstruction, en that it might perform its fur glens efficiestly for the benefit of the country ; but say attempt on the part of the house, such as that pro. peel by these resolutions, to deal with details which ought to be left entirely with the executive, would involve a principle which he could never modiew The Earl of GIFFORD agreed with the hoc. member for Sunderland in the first resolution because he thought they might at least rest fur a year from building any inure skips, soil he trusted tl.3t the ships now undergoing conversion is the dockyenle would be the last that would be so treated. With regard to men ships of war, be was of opinion that , seta the government had hail more experience as to those already constructed they should not give further orders. Redid not agree with the how member for Suuderland in the asiond part of the mood resolution, but in the last clams el therasaution he entirely concurred. He thought it was mat ospedieet that they should convert Chatham into apiece hit the esastroction of iron ships. Ur. CORRY said the first of the resolutions appeared to hlat to imply that liemothattle ships and frigates built cif mend were esesid to be stmene&l by iron. He could eel 111111111 R tint resolution. If the only object I. betide/ weeds. ships was for the purpose of the defame of their o wn shone, he should not feel indisposed to go along with the boo. member for Sunderland ; but it should be remembered that a very small portion only were em ployed erouod the shuns of this country ; that the vessels of the largest class were implored for the defence of Briti-h interests all over the world, and of their colonial =mile, which *needed to the remotest regions of the earth, and that any interruption to the commerce with their dependencies would be &national calamity. (Hear.) Sir J. PAXTON said he was a strong advocate for iron v,ssels. As the greatest commercial and manufac during people on the face of the earth we must keep pace with our neighbouin, and if ' , niece or any other country constructed impregnable ships, we must construct ships of the same, or better material. He admitted the government had done all in their power to decide this question, but no government was competent to deal with it. They ought to take the advice dais greatest practical men in the kingdom with regard to the construction of the navy. (Hear.) Captain JERVIS explained his reasons for declining to vote for the resolutions. He thought the government had dose well, in the present transition state of iron nasal architecture, in not altogether abandoning the construction of wooden ships but feeling their way. Mr. WHITBREAD answered objections on the subject of the system of accounts in the dockyards, and regarding the clam of iron vessels built by the present Board of Admiralty. Sir P. SMITH invited that small vessels mart still be built of wood, and that we were yet in the dark as to some of the elements of the question what thickness of iron would make a vessel shot-proof. He wanted to know what was the minimum of cost as well as of strength. Mr. DALOLISII suggested that it might be worth while for the Admiralty to consider whether the large line-of. battle ships now building might not be coated with iron. Mr. HORSMAN observed that the reforms recommended by the royal dockyard commissioners had been pointed out by Lord C. Paget, when not in office; and, under all the circumstances, considering that a new spirit seemed to be pervading the naval department, be thought the time in opportune for resolutions which would be regarded as a vote ' of censure upon it. After some observations by Mr. W. WitAiAits, Sir J. PABINOTON, with reference to a remark of Mr. lioreman, said the report of the royal commissioners did ' not uphold the statements made by Lord C. Paget in 1859, which had proved to be erroneous. He (Sir John) had not understood clearly from Lord Clarence the intentions of the Admiralty as to wooden line-of-battle ships. He had stated that we had f,7 of these ships; but this number must include these cm the stocks, there being only about 53 afloat. Al. though he concurred in some portion of the resolution,, they might be open to misconstruction, and he should be sorry to take the matter out of the hands of the executive govern. meet. He gave various explanations regarding the War rior and to show the infancy of our knowledge on the sub ject of iron ships, confessing that he saw no prospect of being able to abandon the construction of iron ships.. Mr. FINLAY was of opinion that further experiments .should be made before the safety of the =gantry twee intrusted to iron ships. A (marks were made by Admiral WALcort, and a short explanation was given by Lord J. RUSSELL In reply to Sir J. Pakington. Mr. LINDSAY withdrew his motion. NEW ZEALAND. Sir J. TRELAWNY, in calling attention to the subject of his notice, mid the house might perhaps be aware that a civil war was now going on in the north lend of New &eked. Under the treaty of Waitaagi, all the rights of British subjects were extended to her Majesty's subjects, the aborigine of New Zealand. The govenanient, actuated, he believed, by the colonists, who were anxious to possess more land, proposed to pur arse it from the natives. Private individuals were not allowed to buy land themselves from the natives, and when the government proposed to buy land, they should be enured that the title by which they acquired it was un doubted. That did not appear to be the case in the present instance, for it appeared that the rights of William King had been violated, and the consequence was that interne. eine fends and bloody contests had taken place. It appeared that there were now 5,000 troops in New Zealand for the protection of the colonists, and it was uncertain who were to pay the expenses of • war that arose, as he believed, out of • gross blunder, and great injustice to the natives. The hon. baronet concluded by moving • resolution to the effect that while the house was prepared to contribute all the aid in its power to the executive to put down rebellion in New Zealand, yet having regard to the treaty of WaiteeP, it would rejoice to hex that upon the re-establishment of her Majesty's authority in that colony the mattes in depute had been referred to a special comm ission for investigation. Mr. FORTESCUE said that the house or the govern ment Ind no notice of the melon of the hon. baronet on this subject, but he was not Mobbed to object to it on that ground, because the hon. baronet bad made very little out of the case he undertook to brim( before the house. He ho neyed that any person who rend the Oise book with a candid mind would 0011111 to a diarist orinaiedea from the hon. baronet. It was tree the bon. baronet represented a small party in the colony who were opposed to the load govern ment, but the fact was that the policy of the government was supported by a large liaise* of the Chemists there, of the pees, and some el tl Willowy body themselves. =bear.) Such was the result air demi= in New itself, and in proof of that he would refer to the debates which took place. The bon. baronet 1111111111111 every. thing that was in dispute. The hon. barest seemed to think that there was a primal right on the part of • chief called William King which had bee violated. It war evident from the facts put forward in the blue hook that no such right existed.. It was • view imported by Europeans. All the terms of the treaty of Waitangi had been interpreted most favourably to the trees, but no such primal right's the boo. barest contended for wee to be found in that treaty. Neither Governor Grey gar Governor Fitzroy had ever re. cognised any such rights on the part of the chiefs of tribes as ware now attempted to be set up on the part of those chiefs. Governor G. Browns had resolved to tolerate no longer the outrageous pretensions of those chiefs—preten sions sometime backed up with violence. William King did sot set up any claim of right, but simply declared that he would sot allow the Lod to be sold. If he had est u any slept:ion of right it would have been duly considered, but it we • simple Assertion of an intention to resist by fore. That was the governor's position, sod be (Mr. Foresee) believed it to be a tree statement of the tee It was said this disputed land title should be decided by an other tribunal ; but this question had been decided like others ; and the idea of resorting to • court of justice could not be aupported, for the natives of New Zealand were not subjects Of the Queen. The British law, through want of fore*, did se exist in New Zealand. Everything hail been imitated on by negotiation, particularly the gale and purchase of had, and that was in accordance with a clause in the treaty of Weitangs. It would he desirable that English law should extend throughout New Zealand ; and that feeling was pining pound amoopt the beet of the tribes. It war unfarttutat• that tech • state of things should seat between some tribes and the Queen's 'government, but the claim put faith by a party seder William King could not be allowed. There was only one wish, viz., that the interests of the natives should be considered equally with the interests of the colonists. The Givierser st New Zealand deserved the support of that hones, for his position was an extremely difficult one, sad he was entirely deprived of those means which Sir George Grey had at Ids He believed the present =rhad acted • man of honour, humanity, and ice as and he never for one sneeseat would have given sanction to any interferes°, with the rights of the natives. The governor, last year, called together • meeting of the natives. an interesting account of which would be found in the blue book, and the result of the meeting was that the governor had acted quite rightly. The motive of oppositios put forth by a small portion of the natives was a false one, and only supported by those who wished to set up Willem King. But it must end fatally to all those who per sisted in the course which had been recently fol. lowed. The policy of those few natives was a short sighted one, and could not be sanctioned by those who desired to uphold the Queen's government. (Hear.) There was no intention to depart in the smallest degree frees the treaty. There was such a thing no doubt in a colony like New Zealed as unscrupulous support of the white man's pretensions ; but on the other hand, there was such • thing as morbid advocacy of the 'uprooted rights of the natives, which was by no means advantageous to those in whose favour the advocacy was excited. The government of New Zealand endeavoured to take a omens between these extreme, to sacrifice neither the rights of the colonists on the one hand, nor the rights of the natives on the other, but to observe scrupulously the treaty under which we held New Zealand, and that being done, to extend the blessinp of English law to all her Majesty's umbrella in New Zealand. Mr. SELWYN observed that, under the treaty of Waitangi, certain rights of property were reserved to the natives, sod the question was what these rights wen. It was the opioion of well-informed Europeans in the colony that no individual of a tribe could alienate land to a stranger without the sweat of the tribe collectively, and the Most of land which was the cause of the dispute, and the sale of which by the Chief Traria the governor enforced, was subject to this native law. He Ninth...a that Governor Browse was a friend of the antler; but he had yielded to pressure, in direct eoetraveation, as he (Mr Selwyn) contended, of the ranee tire right. unmasked by the treaty. The pies pat for ward in justification of the purchase, that the poseasaora of the land had been emigrated by the Waiketos, and had therefore het their collective, righta, was overruled by a di. vision of Governot Fitzroy, who had restored the right. He disputed the statement of Mr. Fortescue that former governors n i t the colony had aindscted sales in the same manner. 1;;;IFC. munuras had arrived at a very different conelusiou from Mr. Selwyn, to same of whose statetnents he had listened, be said, with astonishment. He main tained that Governor Browse had been perfectly justified in his oonduct, and he exploited the poeitiou of the Teira tribe, who were subject to the Waikato*. and had no other right to the block of land, be said, than that of occu pation. Mr. HOPE could not surport the motion ; but he with Sir Trelawny that there should he some Mt= that amid investigate these questioi.s. On the motion of Sir S. M. Piro, the debate was ad journed.

NEW COURT. (Were the Common Serpent.) Joke Robinson Mean, 46, solicitor, was indicted for embezzling 601. Ils., 311. 55., and 1001., the monies of the Easters Counties Railway, his masters. Mr. Sedeant Ballantine and Mr. Tindal Atkinson ap- Tretifor the company to support the p ros ecution ; and .fierieant Parry, with Mr. Metcalf, defended the prisoner. The case, which occupied the court the greater part of the day, rested principally on the investiption of the accounts of monies received by the prisoner on behalf of the eoinpaay, which did not disclose any feature of public interest. It ap peared that the prisoner, • man of considerable abilities, sad respectable connexions, was first engaged by the com pany, in the year 1853, at • salary of 2001. per annum. He was engaged as land agent to the company, and was spe ohally selected to 1111 that office in comequence of his great skill and knowledge of parish law and assessments. He continued in this employment down to the time of his ap prehension. Upon the 9th of July, 1856, the directors raised his salary to 3001. per annum, and amongst the duties he bad to pedant was that of col lecting the rents of diffeyent premien belonging to the' company, sad pay in all such monies so received. Another pert of his duty was to examine all claims made as the company for rates and tame, and certify as to their sorrectnese. 'the first sum he was charged with embezzling was one of 1001., paid for the rent of some premises at Lowestoft. belonging to the company, transmitted by Sir Edmund Lacon. This sum was not accounted for. On the 6th September he called upon Messrs. Depree and Austin, who rent premiss of the company, and received from them 00/. lie., which he Limns did not acoouot for. He again called upon the same fins on the 7th of December, and was paid on behalf of the com pany 311. ss. Upon the day he received this latter sum be went to a solicitor's office in Mooring.- street, and paid an amount of 501., being the amount of debt and caste in an action brought him for recovery of a butcher's bill. Some having been dis covered, the prisoner was given into the custody of William Heat, one of the officers of the co mpany , and when told what he was charged with said, "I have received the money and appropriated it, but not with any felonious intent. I shall not give any trouble. lam guilty." And when taken to the Spdal-equare Polemstation repeated the statement. In Mr. Sedee Parry, Blackburn Owen, secretary by to the e n ompany t , state Mr. d J th ohn at the prisoner collected about 8,0001, a year for the ooni. parry. He bad no right to speed amy oi the money so col lected for rates, but ought to have paidit to the cashier. He had never in any way accounted for the three sums named in the indictment. — This being — if; came for the prosecution, Mr. Serjeant Parry objected that the primmer was not either clerk or servant, and therefore could not be convicted under the statute for embezzlement. The learned sergeant drew the attention of the court to the fact that when the prose cutors engaged him they knew he was a solicitor, and spe cially aecsrsd his services as they would those of any other profesaional gentleman, to advise and direct them in matters connected with laims for rates, and the fed of hie being subsequently called upon to collect rent, did not, in the absence of any further special instructions, render bins liable as a clerk or servant. Mr. Metcalf having been beard on the same aide, The Common Serjeant, without calling upon Mr. Berjeant Bal'airtime, decided against the objection. Mr. Serjeant Parry thereupon addressed the jury, and ably argued that although the prisoner had not accounted for particular sums charged against him, there was nothing to show that he had not paid them in grass, as the accounts, which were somewhat confused, showed that =OW were not always paid in one regular manner. The Common Serjeant heel.* summed up, The jury retired, and after an absence of about an hoar, returned a verdict of Guilty, and at the same time recom mended him to mercy, on account of his previous position and good character, and the lag manner in which the ac counts wore kept. Sentence was deferred, other indictments against him m aniples for triaL Garnet Btackneure, 28, -stainer, and George Haddon, 3 1 3, packer were redisted, Haddon for stealing 7/111e. weight of silk, value 501., and ether goods, the property of Henry Feudal and another, his emeters ; and Bkokinon with fe loniously receiving the same, knowing it to be stoke. Mr. Giffard and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared few the me ',ration ; Mr. Metcalf and Kr. Lloyd appeared for the prisonete. The facts of this cam, witiolt were very recently given under the head of Oundhell Polio% were these :—The prisoner Haddon bad base far many years servant to the prosecutors, Mann. 'andel and Phill ips, the well-knows silk and Berlin wool merchants, Newesteadreet, and had, it appeared, been for a long period plundering his employers of silk braid and beads ol great value. The robbery was discovered in this manner. Some valuable puree silk was transmitted to a Mr, Evans, of Birmingham, from a Jew, named Myers living in Oldatreet,road. Mr. Evans at once oommunicet:ed with the prosecutors, who im mediately pat the matter into the has& of Rinker, one of the City detectives ; and upon Myers being applied to, he at once stated he bought it of the prisoner Blackmore. It was then discovered that an old men, named Freak, who lived in a cellar, and existed by making baaketa, was the fatherin•law of Black. more, and having been engaged on prosecutor's premises to chop scene wood, had in connemon with Haddon, own witted the robberies from time to time. Freak was ori ginally charged with the other prisoners, and whilst under remand and in the cell he committed suicide. The prosecutors had lost above 1001 be. weight of silk varying in value from 575. 6d. to 735. per lb., which it ap pears was sold at prices varying from 12a. to 225. 6d. per lb. The fury found the prioare . Ortilty, and Blackmon. was gardened to 18 mouths ' imprisonment, with hard labour, and Haddam to seven years' penal ',nitride. The case lasted until nearly 8 o'clock at night. In the care of Gustave John Parry, the merchant who was yesterday sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and bard labour, for having obtained goods within three months of his bankruptcy, we are requested to state that it was through the inetrumentality of the solicitor and assignee that the 1,0001. worth of property was saved. They, upon information, telegraphed to Geneva, and so secured it for the creditors. THE SURREY CONSUMERS GAS COMPANY. --*-- The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday afternoon in the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge ; 'Louth Pocock, Esq., in the chair. The balmice-sheet and accounts stated inter alia that for the half-year coding the 31st of December last the gross rental for the same period had been t 2,7871. 12s. Id., and the income ariein4 therefrom amounts to 8,2411.17..2d. This sum, after deducting the necessary charges for interest on the bond debt and the other expenses, enabled the directors to recommend that the usual dividend after the rate of 8/. per cent. per annum for the half-year, clear of income tax, should be declared, which, if adopted, would leave a surplus of 2471. 3s. ld. to be carried to the accounts of unappropriated profits. The report also referred to the unhappy differences which prevailed at the board, and which refired the appointment of a committee of shareholders n in order to settle the terms of the determination of Mr. contract. The directors con curred both in the necessity and appointment, and they had =y, and by the (secretary acting under their instrue- I: l orded the committee the fullest information to guide them in their inquiry, and they were happy to state that after several conferences and consultations with the committee they had been enabled to agree with them in the terms of settlement with Mr. Croll, and in the recommen dations for the future management of the company. The report of the directors was, upon the motion of the chairman, which was duly seconded, carried. The report of the committee was next read, which gave a very favourable account of the manner Mr. Croll had met the gentlemen of the committee. The contract entered into between Mr. Croll and the com mittee was next read, which appmred to give great manatee time to the numerously attended meeting, which terminated most harmoniously, by the adoption of the report of the committee, who recommended that 2,5001. should be paid to Mr. Droll for hie minima sad pleat.

THE AMERICAN CENSUS. The following official table, just issued from the Ceases Department at Washington, shows the population of the United States and Territories, according to the Seventh Census (1850), and the Eighth Census (1880), re spectively : THE CASE OF LORD KINGSTON. -- Upon the reassembling of the court yesterday at three o'clock, Mr. Dighy Seymour mid be had ascertained that the phy sician to whom be hail alluded could not make his appear ance till four o'clock. Mr. Brushfield was then recalled and stated, in reply to the Master, that he had an interview with Lord Kingston, who i not appear to recognise him at first, but rubes quen ,in the comae of conversation, he remembered him and him by name. His lordship alluded to many of the incidents which had been mentioned in the evidence, and his memory did not appear to fall him. He became ex cited at the mention of the name of Jobe Jones, repeating the charge which he had before made against that person, and reiterated the statement that patients were murdered at the Denbigh Asylum ; adding, that his attendant there, Sarah Bogen', could confirm him in this respect, if the court would call her. Altogether he gave • rambling die cursive story ; but he (Mr. Breahfield) candidly ac knowledged that he should be merry to farm an estimate as to his lordship's sanity from the interview be bad had with hint, for during the whole time he was very guarded in his expressions. But be had seen no ream, having re gard to what he bad previously seen, to alter the opinion be had formed that Lonl Kingston was insane and iacapahle of managing his own grail% John Jones was then called, and in answer to questions from the Master said he had heard the evidence given on the previous day as to Lord Kingston's account of what =twhen he slept at Cheater in the same room with his ip. It was not true that he undramed, beyond re moving his cost, or that be behaved in any way indecently in the footsies of Lord Kingstoe. Upon his most edema oath he denied the statement that bird Kingston was said to have made as to hi. conduct on that occasion. The Master mine believed the evidence of this witness, and that he would leave the court without the slightest stain tip= his character. Mr. Digby Seymour intimated that, in the event of the physician whom he intended to call not arriving in time, be should feel bound to open his case and call witnesses on behalf of the earl. _ _ . The iaslersugges tee' that it might be advisable for Mr. Seymour to apply for as adjournment, and though Le was very reluctant to keep this very painful comb before the pub lic longer than was nimolutelv necemery, he should nut op pose such an application, if it would facilitate the proceed ings on the side of the alleged lunatic. Mr. Digby Seymour was unwilling to take upon himself the responsibility of saying that he should be prepared to meet the evidence on the other side, by which he had been taken completely by surprise ; but perhaps it would be for the convenience of aL parties if the proceedings were ad journed till the following day. The Master should be glad to give Mr. Seymour tine to determine what course he would take,aed would, therefore, consent to the adjournment. He would suggest, however, that in taking the opinion of the eminent physician referred to upon the case, that gentlemen should , not be asked to jndge of Lord Kingstoo's sanity without reference to the evidence with which the court had been placed in posse 100, and which, unanswered, wee very powerful evidence of in sanity. Mr. Digby Seymour promised that the physician should be made acquainted with what had pared before the commis ohm. and The Court then adjourned to this day. DD. DR JONoll'a LION?

AMR. 11.— The beautiful weather for seeding and the reduced rate of amount tend to produce a cheerful feeling to-day in every department of our trade, and there is far more cou6dence. Wool is vary firm in price. There is a fair inquiry, but staplers are not heavily stocked, and are not very anxious to sell. There is very little doing in abort wools for this district, and still lees for the clothing districts. There has been considerable inquiry for worsted yarns this morning, but the prices offered are very low. Orden might be accepted at low prices, but the high price of wool forbids this. The accounts from Leipsic are not encouraging. Many of the largest buyers were " conspicuous by their &heelers." A few orders not material is extent have been given out for. Russia. There is a slight improvement in the home trade. The general condition of the piece trade is unaltered. Then is no movement on the pert of home buyers ; the weather does not appear to sti mulate busieens on their part. There is a little more doing on the part of the American merchants ; a little is also doing in fancies for the Continent. There is no demand for plaie goods for export. The uncertain state of Continental polities prevents operations, and it is not expected that an improvement will take place till the news is more satratao tory than at present. THE IRON TRADE.—ThelmonAir, Aran 11.—The ironmasters' meeting was held In this town to-day, the attendance being very large. A good feeling was created early io the day by the announcement that the rate of dis eonat had been reduced to five per cent. The business trans acted was not large, but it was greater than had been anti cipated; and papas wore firmer for all description' of finished iron ; it may be noted however that sales have been effected at so low a rate recently that quotations could neareely reeede further. There was a considerable quantity of pig yea sold, but prices did not improve, unless free florally ; the tone of the meeting was, however, more cheer ful than at the Wolverhampton assembly.

Barley and pease gave way Is. to 2s. Oats and beans unaltered. During the present week scarcely any sales of wheat are reported ; the radian, having reduced the retail price of flour ls. Bd. per sack, will not pay the rates demanded for wheat. Barley nominal in price. Oats taken in retail at the quotations. Beans firm. Bather more doing in pease, owing to their being so much below the price of beans. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, very little wheat changed bands, owing to the firmness of holders. ' At this duy's market there was a abort supply of wheat, but the trade ruled very dull, and to effect saw • reductiva of Is. to 2s. per quarter had to be submitted to. Rather move doing in fine barley. Oats, beans, and pease taken in retail at former currency.

English wheat was le. tots. per quarter lower, except for the finest qualities, and foreign was the turn cheaper. In French flour there was no change, but Ame rican and English were offering at less money, without in ducing buyers to operate. Oats and oatmeal sold slowly at late rates.

Tamworth (barque„ of Liverpool, Massing It.. all wen, March 21. Larsen or rim Rmeraxes.—Yeeterdity after noon, at a few minutes before two o'clock, the iron-omed frigate Resistance was launched. from the yard of Mews. Westwood, Bernie, and Co., by whom she has been built. The huge vessel was christened by the Lady Mayoress, and went off with the greatest ease. Immense crowds of people flocked into the yard all the morning, and every pile of timber or temporary staging had its knot of spectators, who raised an enthusiastic cheer as the ship glided down the ways. The extreme length of the Resistance is 292 fete, her breadth 54 feet, her depth from the spar deck • little over .l$ feet. She will draw 25 feet when down to the water line. She is built entirely of iron, with the exception of two layers of teak, which are placed, ono vertically and the other horizontally, between the skin of the ship and the armour plates, the one layer being of a thickness of 9 inches, and the other 10 imbed. The armour plates do not extend the whole length of the vessel, but terminate at the "armour bulkheads," which are water. tight compartments at each end, and reach in depth from the bulwarks to the water line. It is expected that the ship will be more buoyant thus constructed than if she bad been encased in these plates from stem to stern. The plates are made of the best rolled iron, in lengths of 17 feet, and of • thickness of 4{ inches, each plate being bolted by fourteen 14. inch bolts, and each plate is tongued nod grooved—forming, in fact, a 11111111111,0 wall of iron. The whole vessel is so constricted as to present in every point of view immense strength mid solidity.
