The bill was then read • third time, and mood. THE DOUBLE INVOME TAX ON THE DIVIDEND ON THE INDIAN DEBT. Mr. CRAWF(iitLinisse to notice to call Mien ' ties to the levy of income tax upon incomes and profit. arisiug in India, and to move "that the petitions from merchants soil others of London and other ports ,ii the United Kiog.lnin sguinst the levy of sit income tax upon M- I coma and profits arising in India, which are alrooly subject to an inconsc tax iu th..t :ountiy, premixed to the house oti the 7th inst.. be refero.l to the select consinittor on Income and Po.perty Tax." The petitions, be said, Tore siguatures which must command attention. Not only w.Ol the fend holder prejudiced, but the credit of India was • affected by the 10111111er in which creditors were dealt win, ; • nail the industry of India was discouraged. Lord Cans,ing had on a public occiusiou expressed the highest auticipstions el what would be the results of British eoterprim in halm, but what wa. the use of Governon-Geoeral hotting out inducement& for the cultivation of waste hinds in India, when capitalists found they had to pay a tax at loth en.la! He would conclude by stating that the petitioners com plained of the injustice and inequality of an income tax being unposed by the government of India as well as by the 0. nutmeat of this country upon the same property, so that the same income was made liable to aMx iu either care. If the petition were referred to the select committee on the income tgx, he thought the question would be duly consi. &wed, and a further opportunity afforded for the redress of j a grievance. (Hear, hear.) Sir M. FARQUHAR seconded the motion. Mr T. HANKEY said he had listened with the gr ea t es t atteution . to the speech of his bon. friend, but he could not wree with his argunieuts. He could not understood even the object of the conclusion to which he had arrived, or how the house could agree to refer to the select committee on the ism ee tax the resolution then upon the table. If this were • question as to the particular mode in which this tax should be levied, he could well understand its being referred to the committee which his bun. friend the member for Bucking ham (Mr. Hubbard) had moved for. But this question up peered to him (Mr. Hawkey) to be • totally irrelevant one, namely, whether profits made in one country should or ahouhl not be liable to itiOollia tax in another. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the government had no objection to the motion. The question involved point/ of considerable importance, but in assent ing to the motion, he was bound to say that he thought the terms of the reference to the Income and Property Tax Committee were Dot breed enough to cover the ground takes by Mr. Crawford. He had argued that India. should be Vested as au isolated CYO, and enjoy a peculiar exemp ' ties. He (Mr. Gladstone) differed from him wino this point, and he showed the confu s i on th a t mus t resu lt f rom ' placing ln.lia in a category different from the crown colonies. Tbe proposition of Mr. Crawford would go to alter the whole basis of the English income.tax upon which it had been levied since 1442, and my that English rubjecte should be exempted from the tax on profits derived from property located in foreign countries. Sir 8. NORTHCOTE telt much alarm at the prospect of the select committee being thus loaded with very large and difficult questions, as to the oonns,xion between the English and Indian Exchequers with which they had nothing to do. Mr. KIN NAIRII ex pressed his belief that complications of this kind would be likely continually to arise, until we resorted to the just measure, aa he considered it, of lend ing our credit to India, in return for our encouraging the vast expediters) which was now going on in that country. ' Hr. DLSRA ELI thought from the suggestion just made the house might see on what very dangerous pound they were now treading. He hoped they would poem before assenting t o thi s mot i on . It was a very proper and legitimate subject for a diecumion in the house, but not to be referred to a committee engaged with topics of a totally different character. It was a subject involving questions of large policy, and Indian finance as a whole, which could not fitly be referred to a sommittee appointed to consider bow there might be • more equitable mode of assessment for the income tax in this country. He considered, however, that the alleged pievance and claim of exemption against England had no foundation whatever. The only colourable claim, if any, wouid be against the government of India, for it was the new Indian government which had imposed the new tax, and there was no sort of reason for coming to this country, when the tax had existed for twenty years, and claiming exemption because another country copied that policy by establishing the tax last year. Against the government of India there might be a colourable um for exemption but against the English Exchequer none at all. He trusted the hon. member would be satisfied with the tans of this diem...eon, and not urge the seeding of these petitions to the committee. He might advise those whose am he advocated, to go op with a memorial to the Treasury, and leave their awe to the decision of the government, or be might, if be chose, ask for a decision of the hem" but not refer it to a committee upon another subject. Mr. BRIGHT quite agreed with the observations of the right Iwo. member fur Bucks. If this question were referred to the committee on the income tax, it would do the greatest mischief to the work uf that committee, and do not the least good to the clients of the hon. member for Leaden. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had shown himself very accommodating, for he did not refuse to let these petitions go to the cone mitt.., but he world probably be glad to have the house &Md. apiast it. As for the question involved, it really was tads. A man enjoyed the advantages of two govern. Irma* for his property was in one country while he lived wader the protection of another ; yet he claimed only to nay tar eve government. The hon. gentleman's speech had hail this fed--that these who entirely agreed with him when he get up. disagreed with hint when be Pt down. (A woo.) He hoped the hoe. gentleman would not press his motion any farther. Mr. CRAW FORD then withdrew his motion. THE AFFOHAN WAR—SUPPRESSION AND GARBLINO OF DESPATCHES Mr. DUNLOP mowed for a select committee to cossider the "correepoedeses relating to AffghanUtan," as presented to alehouse in 1830, sad the name correspondence as pre sented is 1858, and printed by special order of the house is 18110, sad to report oo the discrepancies between the two ; and also to 'squire into the circumstances of the prepare. ties of that correspoodesce for being pretreated on the former of those occasions; and to report their opinion whether any, and, if any, what, meantime should be taken to secure th at documents presented to this house by the goverunieut an copies or extract. of correspoodenoe or other papers shall give a true representation of the contents of such odence or paper. The bon. member add it was hie=l duty to call atheis tic, to the grossest falsincations of public documents which heal ever been perpetrated in this country. It might be said that this) hod ow:wed long ago, end it was now warless to rip up such as old subject. It was quite true that the papers to which the motion referred were laid on the table as long ago 1830, hot it was not the fault of those who wished to have the matter inquired into that an inquiry had not takes pla t e. When the desmkelied were sent out to India Sir Alex. Burnes felt most deeply the injustice done to himself by the mutilation of the despatches, and sent home true copies of those dermatelma In 1842 • motion was made by the hoe. member for lowness (Mr. Bathe) for the pro duction of further papers, but it was lost by • majority of nine. Next year • similar motion was made by the bon. member for Sheffield (Mr. Hadfield) and seconded by Mr. Hume, but it was also rejected , and by • large majority. The President of the Beard of Control., Lordchtoe, gave an seaurance that the documeete were sot garbled , and that ammoniace was repeated by • member of the government in the other house. The people of this country weredieposed to place the utmost coofidence in the honour of ministers of the crown, and it was Do wonder therefore that they accepted those st•tements as the truth. In the year 1851, however, • history of the war in Affslainistan was published by Mr. Kaye, which established beyond doubt the. there must have been a great mutilation of these documents. The de ' wad for the papers was again renewed, and in 1858 the hon. member for Sheffield carried a motion in favour of their production. There was then • struggle to prevent their being printed. and it was not until 18%9 that these docu ments were printed in a blue book. It happened that Mr. Kaye, who was then at the India House, was the party who prepared the documents, which he did with the greatest oare and ability, marking ev e rywh ere the which were omitted in the bluebook of 1839. z igr. (Mr. Dunlop) had reed these papers with great arnasessest, iodignatios, and shame—amaxement at the extent and audacity of the falsification ; indignation at the injustice done to poor Sir Alexander Bunion, and the fraud perpetrated on the house; and shame that • department of the government could be capable of such dishonesty He hoped that the interest in the matter was still stroeg in the country. The terrible event, of that campaign, the disgrace to our arms, the fearful annihilation of our army, the grievous sorrows of the friends of the captive sufferers, hail bniDded tie whole circunistances on the memory of the country, and respired the solemn conviction that all these weak. messes, follies., and calamities were to be traced, in the words of Mr. Kaye, to the curse of God restin g heavily on an unholy cause. (Haar, hear.) He agreed with Sir Herbert Eslwardes, who lately said that this was an unrighteous, un hallowed, and causeless war. The hon. member then showed from the restored passages that Sir Alexander had been made to appear favourable to the war—the policy of which lad begun to be questioned upon military as well as political grounds— and substantially made o u t th e am of the government of the day, whereas his opinion, es ex• preload ia the perfect letters, had been precisely the re verse. And these omissions and suppreenom had bees Or* Yr. Dunlop observed, systematically and for the very purism of deceiving the house. In the cam of one of the papers the mutilations effected the perversion of meaning with so mach skill that the artist must, he remarked, be al ma of senino, Mr. Dunlop urged the 'entry dor by tji. of his despatches to Sir A. Burnes, who was essviassi eel only of the injustice but of She la. = f this censor permed by the Indian lelleallarent a Dal /Mord Zhaa. II wpm' to WOW basil thsl whatever might be done by unatrupulous governments abroad, the documents put forwent by this oountry might be implicitly trusted. That could be said no more. In a German history there was a chapter liwadol "Sir Alexander Barnes the instigator of the Atlgliau war ;" and it was stated that the account there given might be relied upon, because it was drawn from English official payers. But now a *wawa edition would come out, awl it would have to be ad mitted that English state papers were as worthless as those put forth by the must perjured despotism in the world. (Chien.) Ile (the bee. gentleman) pit.4.-,ted that he had scarcely any faith left him. Papers were every day laid on the table. hut after examining these dogwatch,* he (lid nut know bow to believe anything . (1ie..,.) What bad been does was an insult and • dishonour to our Sovereign. (Cheers.) Papers that were laid on the table were presented to par liament by the command of her Majewty, whose name was pledged to their truthfulness and authenticity. To put for ward false documents under ouch a guarantee was as if they had used the dies at the royal mint for the fabrication of Lase coiu. 'beers.) Nay, it was worse. Th ose did were oDI y a material symbol of the Queen ; but the goyernnieut had iu this case abused her personal name. the use of which had been entrusted to them as the token of troth, but which they had not shrunk from using to give colour to n lie. (Loud cheers.) More than all, • fraud had Laren prartised upon jsirharnent. (Cheers.) Ministers owed an allegiance to*Hutment, and were constantly coming before it to ask its judgment on their policy. A grave question had arisen, whether it war hail been justified, and iestead of laying on the table documents by which the issue might have been fairly tried, they had withdrawn material facia, and by faibricatii.g • different net of papers, had sought to escape from censure. The outdoor was bound to lay none hut Impost papers on the table. For him to do otherwise was not only a moral but a political crime. (Hear, bear.) The confident', re posed in a minister by parliament was that which beyond all other things enabled hint to carry on affairs successfully, but anything that gave a shock to that oonfidenee inflicted a grievous injury on the public interest. (Hear, Lear.) In justice to the memory of Sir A. Burnes and to others, in miry ought to be granted. He did Dot wish to pledge the house to any particular measure. All he wished was that they should consider the subject. If they shrank from in quiry they should he making themselves participators in the wrong, and should be giving encoungenient for similar prat:- tiers in future. logitiry wouhl restore confidence io the completeness of public papers, which would check such pro ceedings as belied complaiued of. (Hear, hear.) lie bogged to move the maid utica. Lord PALMERSTON laid he could not compliment Mr. Dunlop upon the temper he had displayed in his speech, and thought he would have shown more judgment had he als.tioned from the violent vituperations in which he bed indulged, and which he (Lord Palmerston, repudiated in as strong terms as Mr. Dunlop had used. He denied that the papers which were presented in 1839 conveyed the false impression that Mr. Dunlop had asserted they did, in regard to the manner in which Sir Alexander Bunies hail performed his duties in Affghaniatan. Sir Alexander was no doubt • zealous and energetic officer ; but owing to his natural simplicity of character he had fallen into the mistake which subordinate agents were apt to commit of identifying himself with the govern ment to which he was accredited ; and believing everything that was stated to him by Dost Hammed of Calm& Rona was at the time adopting measures. to push disturbance to the Borden of our Indian empire; Don Mahomed was one of her tools in the conspiracy ; and the government of India was right in declining to be guided by the opinions of Lieutenant Burnes. But if, on the one baud, certain views of Lieutemuit Burnes had been omitted from these dispatches, on the other hand, • dispatch from Lord Auckland, the Governor-General, lied also been emitted, which disapproved of the conduct of Lieutenant Barnes, and stated that he had exceeded his instructions is. entering into engagements with the Ameers of Candahar, and committing the Indian government beyond what he was authorised to go. The object for which papers were laid before parliament was to show the ground on which the government had adopted • particular policy, and the pupas in this case were sufficient to indicate all the reasons which bad induced them to act as they had done. He contended that the correspondence did not deserve the censure and epithets which the hon. member had bestowed upon it. If the object of the F iroposed committee was not to consider whether the government was right in 1837 and 1838 in entering into operations against A trghauistun, thin it must be to ascertain in what degree the passages left out altered the tendency of the papers to support the policy which the governments of India and England at that time pursued. The fact was, that the only addi• tional evidence which those passages gave were they of Sir Alexander BUMS, and his opinions were not the guide by which the government bad to make their decision. If the government had not refused the alliance offered them by boat Mehomed, upon the condition he attached to it, which was that they should unite with him in despoiling Runjeet Singh, with whom we were In strict alliance, they would nave been guilty of breach of faith and treachery. He considered that to delegate to a committee such power, as the hos. member asked for would be to usurp the fana ticism, of the executive, and to do great injury to the public genie*. Mr. BRIGHT sold the noble viscount had showed throughout his speech that he felt himself at that moment to be on his trial. He had stooped so low am to heap insult upon the memory of a man who had died in the execution of a public duty, throat upon him by the noble lord's owe mad sad obstinate policy. He had described Lieutenant Burnes as a weak, vacillating person ; yet, considering him to be so, be had still kept him as the representative of this country at the court of (Mut ; hut, if that were a true pic ture of the character of Sir Alexander Burnes why mutilate and forge the dispatches of a man whose opinions were of no importance. The hon. member proceeded—lt is admitted ; the noble lord does not deny it ; he knows perfectly well what was done, and who the man was who did the evil. He knows who has been garbling, mutilating—who has practically and essentially committed falsehood sod forgery in these despatches. Why did they refuse to give the ori ginal despatches in 1843, when moved for by the hon. member for Inveraess.shirs and the boo. member for Shef field? Why was it that the originals were constantly and consistently withheld? The reason they are given now is that so long a time having elapsed, it was thought that no man would take the trouble of going into the questioo, or like the hon. member for Greenock bring it under the notice of parliament. My hon friend the member for Sheffield informs me that the noble lord the member for King's I.yen gave the papers when he was in office. (Cheers.) I tender the noble lord my thanks for the course he took, but lam sure he is the last man who would be mixed up in a transaction of this kind except for the purpose of giving the fullest information. (Chem.) Now I say, avoiding all the long speech o the noble lord, that the ob ject of the committee is to find out who did this evil thing of placing on the table information which was knowingly false, and despatches which had been knowingly forged ; for if you add or deduct from any so as that it shall bear a meaning the contrary of what us ',nettled, it is such as I have described, and that is whet somebody ban dune. I say then that • grave offence has been committed against this house. Who did it! Will the noble lord be kind enough to say who did it? The noble lord has stated that Sir A. Burnes' opinions were not worth much ; if it be so, will the noble lord tell us who effected these mutilations! When Lord Broughton was enamored before the official salaries committee, he took upon himself as President of the Board of Control the entire responsibility of the Afghan war. The noble lord and the noble lord the member for London were then members of the India Board. I do not think we shall be wrung in supposing that the question lies between these two noble lonia and Lord Broughton. These things were not done by some subor dinate—they were done with marvellous care and so much ability that my hon. and learned friend rye they were done by a man of genius. Of course there are men of genius in objectionable walks of life, and art know that the noble lord is a man of genius, or he would not have sat on that bench for the last fifty yeah. (Laughter.) Lord Broughton is highly accomplished, and I should like the noble lord to tell us whether he or Lord Broughton did the work, or whether it was handed over to some clever secretary. We want, I say, to drag the criminals before the public, to deter public men in future from the like offence, and to vindicate the character and the honour of parliament ; for nothing would sink parliament into lower degradation or abasement than to permit, knowingly, any ministers of the crown to lay on the table of this house, on questions in. volving the expenditure of fifteen millions and twenty thou sand human lives, documents which ate nut true, which slander your own public servants, and which slander them, most basely of all, when they are dead, and not here to answer. Ido not believe the gentlemen of England ie this house, os that side or this, will ever consent to sit down with a case proved so clearly as this, without directing the omnipotent hand and eye of par. liament to this master; and seeing that the noble lord was in chargeof the department that time, and that this pulk7 ha at always been considered his policy, and seeing that this act is somewhere between him sod Lord Broughton, Ido not like to hold the opinion that he will object to this com a inquire into a question in which he is so directly emicem. Colouel SYK ES wished it to be kept in mind throughout this discussion that the Affghan war wee commenced and carried out entirely without the privity of the directors of the East India Company, the deliberations upon it being confined to the secret department of the government for Indian affairs. The moment the Court of Directors became acquainted with the facts of the case they were unanimous in repudiating with indignation the policy which had been pursued. (Hear, hear.) If there was any falsification of documents practised on that occasion with • view to vindicate that policy, the directors could not pos sibly be supposed to have been • party to it. He could point out some other and more recent ineteocee where papers had been laid on the table of the house, those parte which were favourable to the policy of the government being exhibited, and the other parts kept back, so se to convey a wrong impression of the opinions of those by whom they were written. Mr.DISRAELI was not surprised that, after what had cc ' curled, this question should come before the house, but he was surprised to see it now conceived sod i.upportccl in such a spirit. The distinguished writer who first called public attention to the imperfect information con tensed is these papers, published his book several years ago, and the result of hie researches soon began to adept public opiates. The matter lad ben alluded to by the last as If it were the noble lord (Stanley) who, when of 84.4. f o r India, was instrumental la= thine weeklies Dot the tact was that those aup pan** wen miensums yean ego ; they wen made araldess of argeoraa eanumet, sad crfltdam at that time. When the noble lord was in office, being applied to to produce these documents, he conferred with him (Mr. Disraeli) on the subject. They ' had to consider what would be the beat course, and whether to take refuge in the usual diplomatic reserve, or to produce them. It was thought advisable in consequenceof the agi tated state of the public m in d with regard to India, not to withhold authentic information. The result was such as tol substantiate the allegation made by himself and the hon. member for Inverness, many Iwo ago, that those papers ' were not, at that time, lad before parliament in such • state as to convey a clear and accurate impression of the opinions of the individual from whom they came. Hut it was a very grave question now to consider, whether an ac cusation of crime, or an inquiry into such an accusation— " crime" being the word used by the hon. member for Bir mingham—ought now to take place upon those papers. The noble lord the First Minister and the noble lord the Secretary of State were now called to account by that honourable member. But this was not a matter which had been recently discovered. If the conduct of the First Minister and his colleagues at that time was so criminal as to deserve the language employed by the hon. member for Birmingham, it had been known for years ; and then, how came the member for Birmingham to go to Wil lie's-rooms— (a laugh)—how came lie to meet the two noble lords there, and express his confidence in them as the only men who ought to govern the country? (Cheers and laughter.) lie (Mr. Disraeli) would like to have that answered ; because ell these things were known years ago, the hon. member for Birmingham and his friends were perfectly acquainted with all the poli c y o f th e invasion of Atf ghaniatao. and it wee as notorious three or four years ago that there had been perhaps an unexampled castration of these document, as any event of which he was aware. If, therefore, upon such a twain charges of crime were now to be raised, if those noble lords and other gentlemen were to be held up as men not only unworthy of being ministers of the country but unworthy of being members of that house, how was it that lee than two years ago there was • public meeting held in this city to upset the Queen's government and to bring those two noble lords into power as the only men coin-' patent to pram this country, to govern India, and to conduct all the affairs of the empire? (('heers.) Now he (Mr. Disraeli) took a different view of the matter. He I thought the invasion of A ffghanietan a great political mis take ; he had a strong opinion that the whole of our Indian pulley with regard to it was the moat erroneous ever fol lowed, and that it not only issued in the loss of 20,000 of of our fellow-subjects and many millions of revenue, but that it entailed a bug series of gloomy diauters in India, mud a state of things to which, perhaps, much of the mischief that had occurred and of the mischief impending might be ascribed. But he would give the government of that day the credit, due to all English ministers, of being assumed to love the glory of their country and their own fame, and he could not therefore suppose that they were influenced by any other motive than • conviction that the policy they adopted was for the public advantage. (Cheers.) Coming now to remark on the information they laid before parliament to vindicate that policy, he thought it might be as well to lay down the prin ciples on which such information should be given. Was it meant that ell the information in the possession of a minister was to be laid before parliament, and that the mi nister was not to have the privilege of omission or of sup pression ? There was no man who would lay down such a proposition. Than it must be • question of discretion and of management. The discretion ol ministers might be in discreet—their management might be awkward ; they might do things which they ought not to have done ; but was the house prepsred to say that this was a crime? And if the honourabic members opposite would say so, how could they justify themselves for sitting on that side of the house ? (Hear, hear.) He agreed with him entirely ea to the policy of invading Affghaniatan ' • but it was not to be supposed that the government of the day was animated by a desire to withhold °onset information on the subject from the public. (Hear, hear.) However erroneous their conduct might have been in that respect, these facts had been notorious for • long period of yews, and when he considered that the very men who now made these charges endeavoured to convince them that those against whom they were brought were fit men to govern the country, be could not, for one, sanction to brand them in that manner, and nmder th se circumstances. (Ironical " Hear," and cheers.) Mr. WALPOLE was surprised at the course taken not by one, but by several hon. gentlemen upon the question before the house, which involved the character of public men and the honour and usefulness of parliament. (Hear, hear.) At the same time this question affected the conduct of the minister in the shape of • vote of censure, and the conduct of the ministry in the form of a want of confidence. He would not follow the hon. member for Birmingham, because he did not agree with him in making a criminal charge against the government. The simple question before them was whether the papers which were brought under the notice of parliament were or were not fully sufficient for the house to decide upon. But these papers were not placed before them until 1869, and then they showed ma terial discrepancies between them and the papers laid before the bowie 20 years ago. They could not shut their eyes to the fact that they could notenter upon any inquiry without receiving information which might justify the conduct pur sued in 1839. But were they to say at once there ought not to be any inquiry at all as to how UlOllO discrepancies had been occasioned ? He thought that as these deers- Fancies had been pointed out the homes ought to inquire into them, and upon these grounds he should vote for the motion. The latter part of the inquiry he thought ought not to be conceded. It was impossible they could say what papen were to he produced, and what omissions allowed. (Hear.) Thye took them upon the faith and credit of the govern ment, piecing their confidence in the government—and he cared not what that government might he—until that government were accused of misconduct in such a matter he should give that government his mat implicit confidence. (Hear.) Bat it was not with a view of charging the govern. merit or passing censure epos them, but with • view of giving them an opportunity of explaining to parliament and the country the cis omostancee under which t ho se discrepan cies had arisen —(hear)—it was with the fullest intention of giving the noble lord an opportunity of affording that explanation which would untidy parliament and the country. (Hear, hear.) Lad J. RUSSELL said that neither the policy of the Affghati war, or whether there were omissions in the papers, could be usefully debated now ; but tho question was whether that war was undertaken with a criminal intent. He asserted that it was undertaken with a con scientious belief in its necessity for the defence of our lo dian frontier. With regard to the alleged suppressions in the papers, they were mainly confined to those parts of the correspondence in which difference, of opinion were dia. 1 cussed with Sir A. Burnell, and such as were censures upon him. After • few words from Colonel DtcatioN, Mr. HORSMAN denied that the motion was • vote of censure sod want of confidence in those members of the government who belonged to the miniAtry of 1838, but whether a rule should out be laid down as to the mode in which important document. should be laid before parlia ment. Mr. BAXTER moved u an amendment the withdrawal of the hat paragraph of the motion. This was objected to by the government, and after a dis cumion a division wan taken on the amendment, and the numbers were For the amendment Bl Against it The amendment being bat the original motion wee put, and on a division was re jected by 159 to 49.

THE ALLEGED FRAUDS BY A POLE AT NOMA OHAi. NOTTINGHAM, TUENDAT. Thin morning Baron Zychlinaki waa brought up on remand before the mayor and borough magistrates at the Nottingham police court. The particulars of this case have already appeared iu our columns. Since the remand of' the baron, a week ago, be has corresponded with his friends and relatives, and baa received the register of his name and baptiam. The court was crowded to excess, as it was expected that extraordinary revelations would be made. Mr. Counsellor Merrewether was for the prosecution, Mr. Counsellor Yeatrnan defended the prisoner, who was charged with obtaining 400/. from the Rev. Henry Maltby, under false pretences. The prosecutor mid he was a clergyman of the Church of England, and the prisoner was his son-in-law having married his daughter on the 25th of October, 1860. Wit. nee makes au allowance of 300/. per year to his wife, who resides chiefly abroad. When witness was staying at the Flying Horse Hotel, Nottingham, the prisoner brought him a letter from his wife, naming the baron as a proper person to be a husband to their daughter. The baron stated that he had lent witness's wife 400/. when she was at Rome ; and in consequence of certain documents which the prisoner produced, witness requested his attorney, Mr. Campbell, to give him a draft for the amount. Wittman was present at the marriage of his daughter at Dover, and saw Mrs. Maltby there, but did not ask her anything shout the money she had borrowed of the baron at Rome. Witness paid the expense. of the wedding, except 3001. for the clothes, which sum bad been set apart for that purpose. Mr. Campbell, solicitor, said that prisoner told him that he was a Russian captain, and had served in the Crimea, having been wounded in the thigh and neck at Sebastopol. He also informed him that he was • knight of several orders. The baron said he was sorry for Mrs. Maltby when he saw her at Rome and Paris, and had placed his puree at her disposal. Witness had received a letter from Colonel Galt:, of the Prussian service, respecting the prisoner ; he bad since been to the Prussian Legation, and had seen the secretary, as also to the Russian Consul-General. Besides this he had written to Lord Loftus, the ambassador at Berlin. Adolphus Chaplin Wootolaki said that he came from the Duchy of Posen, in Poland, and knew Count Zycblinski, of Gychlin, who has two sons, one in the artillery at Berlin, and one at home, but the prisoner was not one of those. Eliza Adeline Maltby, wife of the prosecutor, said she was staying at Rome in the beginning of last year with her daughters, and got into pecuniary difficulties. Bor rowed one thousand scudi front a friend, an Italian. Did not borrow it from prisoner. It was through the counsel of her confessor that she borrowed the money from an Italian. His name she could give, if necessary. The thousand scudi would be about 2211 X. About three months before she left Rome she became acquainted with the prisoner, who stated that he was the only son of Count Zychlinski, and was captain in the Guard of the Emperor Alexander. Gave the prisoner the whole of the money to discharge her debts, but it has since come to her knowledge that he has not paid the whole of the debts. Prisoner told witness that he had paid 4,000 francs at Perim in bpi. dation of some of her debts, but she had since received a letter in reference to it from Cardinal Antonelli, stating that the money had not been paid. The certificate now pro duced stating that he lent her the money was drawn up at his instigation. It bad her signature to it. She confessed with pain it wee not true that she had received 1,372 Roman dollars from the prisoner, nor was tt true that he had advanced her at Paris. The prisoner said, that when he had got the money from her husband which had been borrowed from her Italian friend he would send it him. Prisoner told witness that he had advanced leer 4,000 francs to pay her debts, which she afterwards found to be false. When witness was in Paris Prince °tilts:in told her that the prisoner was • swindler. She received intelligence from Colonel Gaits so the same effect. Mr. Newton, the British consul at Rome, was an acquaintance of hers, and she had seen the prisoner in con. venation with him. He seemed perfectly respectable when at Rome. By Mr. Yeatman—When the writing was signed by her at Rome she had not received any money from the prisoner nor at any other time except • few napoleons. The writing states that he advanced her 1,372 Roman dollars for her maintenance, but that was not true. The MOOD witness did not apply for more money from her husband was that she wee ashamed, sod it was by the advice of the pri soner who wee engaged to her daughter, and : who said it would be got more easily in that way. Withers made only one false statement at Rome, and that tram to the effect that prisoner bad advanced her some of his own money. Informed her husband of the deception recently. The deception consisted in represent• ing that the 4001. was owing, whereas it was not. The baron turned witness out of his house at Hyeres, because he said she had calumniated him. He also wrote her bus. baud the most depraved of letters concerning her, which were entirely false. At this point of the evidence the prisoner was remanded for a period not exceeding eight days. RECOVERY OF DEBTS BILL. This bill wu reed second lima ' -- MARRIAGES (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. BUTT moved the emend reading of this bill. Mr. VANCE opposed the motion on the ground that the safeguards recommended by the committee which had sat on the subject had been related is the bill. He thought the second reeding should be postponed till lifter Easter. The bill was, however, read without a division. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACTS AMEND- MENT BILL. Mr. TITE moved the second reeding of the bill, which he said was needy the mine as that which had last session hem subjected to a select committee, sod had also hem pawed through a committee of the whole house. It did, however, omit the question of apportionment of the debt, which had been formed into soother bill. Mr. LOCKE moved that it be rend a second time that day six months. While he sea speaking, An HUN. Menses moved that the house be counted, and forty member; not being present the house adjourned at 25 minute. past 12 o'clock.

Spinners are becoming more difficult to deal with even than on that day, the quotations demanded being fully id. and in some cases pl. per lb. above those of Tuesday last. Business is no doubt limited by the rise in prices asked, but it is found that there is a perceptible increase of demand since Friday. There is still a very fair inquiry on the part of continental houses ; but the demand for nearly all markets has augmented. Skirt ings for the That are also lid. to 3d. per piece dearer thane week ago. Cloths generally are hardening in price, and there is greater activity and confidence, though not appa rently a large amount of actual business. The apparent ter mination of the Blackburn district trade disputes helps to give a more cheerful feeling. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lagns, MARCH 19.—The market was very fiat this morning.

THB BLACKBURN STRIILI.—The operatives of Darwen resolved, on Saturday, to mums work on the terms accepted by the Blackburn operatives three ween ago. We have already stated that the Darwen operatives declined to accept the invitation to have an interview a. Blackburn with the committee of the Masten' Anociatiou and that they would only meet their own employers. M interview with their own masters therefore took plan hut it led to no definite result. A deputation of five wo then appointed to proceed to Blackburn, there to meet tit masters committee. The interview lasted about ts, hours, and the Blackburn committee fully explained el 'position of affairs and the coistennences of the Dann operatives persisting in their determination not to ream work. The. operative deputation complained to the nor ten that in Darren certain descriptions of cloth etc paid under the standard list, and the masters gave thee a pledge in writing that, so soon as work 'was resumed, this complaint would be inipired into and rectified. .1 public meeting of the operatives was held at Darweo, Saturday, to which the deputation reported the result it their interview at Blackburn ; and it was then resolved to resume work on Wednesday. Some, however, reamed work on Monday.—MlurAcster Guardian.
