Mr. A DDERI,I O .I( asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, now that the rebellion in New Zen• land was suppretrual, the government were taking such stops as would teed to extricate this country from any future im plicatioe in native pofiey sad whether they would now ad vie Mr Majesty to give eased to the Native Council Bill sent by the New Zsalsed Legiehritsr• for Mr approval.

Under those Cifetllll. steer,. it would he very ern. at the present moment to give nay merit to the Nabs Cowell Bill. through, and the commercial relations existing between them and this country." They were also asked to write SilOn life of the First Napoleon. (.t laugh.) Another inquiry which might involve Homo political differences of opinion was this : " Enumerate the struggles which have taken place between Great Britain and the Chinese Empire since PM' Then there was one which was oertainly of some interest to the house at the present moment : "Give the name of the essential characteristics which enter into the composition of building stone usually employed." (laughter.) Another question equally interesting to the House of Commons was the following: From what causes does the present. noxious effluvium of the Thames arise?' (Laughter.) Lord BTANLEY asked whether these were questions put to the candidates for the civil service ? Mr. LOCHRANE said the questions were set by Mr. Dasent, but he believed those be was now citing were put to the military students. (Hear, bear.) Still the principle for which he was contending was the same, viz., that the whole system of competitive examination, both for the army nod the civil service. was equally objectionable. (Hear, hear.) The Clan of questions in the two OMB was the same. One of the things asked of the candidates was to write a panegyric upon General Garibaldi, General Have lock, and Sir I. Newton. (Laughter.) They were asked also to "write an essay on the Queen's visit to Germany," and " if a holiday were given to a man employed in • public office, bow it would be advisable to spend it'." (A laugh.) No leer the Mx times students were asked to give mays on Gari baldi's expedition to Sicily, but perhaps, every other in stance of absurdity was exceeded by the following question: " Give your views on the late fight for the championship between Tom Sayers and Heenan." (Roars of laughter.) He would cite only one more, as being, perhaps, the mast extraordinary of all—much as they had heard of the views of geological theorists. Thieves set to the students at Wool w ich : " Give the evidence which exists for believing in former sub meraions of the British Islands beneath the MM. State when the last of these submersions took place, and by what phe nomena it was accompanied." (Laughter.) The positions on which he (Mr. Cochnioe) relied were, first, that the report of the chairmau wee not borne out by the evidence ; and secondly, that the civil service examination still em braced the same system of questions which had been con demned already. He wished to ask why the committee did not examine his Royal Highness the Gonunsedsr-in- Chief, Lord Stratford de Redcliffo, and others, who could speak to the effect of these examinations upon the elms of men who were entering the public menus T (Hear, hear . There were certain quali fi cations for so office which eendil not be tested by examination, sad the most ellicient public servants and men of the greatest ability were under the old system, and it had not been shown the service had improved since the introduction of this qdem of competitive examination. It was a dangerous siple which had been introduced into the public swim and at any late it was dangerous to tamper with meld established system unless it was shown that the new would be pro- ductive of greater benefit to the coentry. He freely ad mitted that they could not be too severe le the test exami nation to ascertain whether young men who entered the public service were fit to occupy the offices to which they aspired ; hut his opinion was that the public service was deteriorating under the present sys cuss, and for this reason us submitted the motion which stood on the paper is has Dame. Mr. HENNESSY said that, on • future occasion, he should ask the house to affirm the principle that the civil service should be filled by mesas of • system of competi tive examination, which he was now precluded by the forms d the house from moving seen amendment to the present motion. He defended the course taken and the report made by the select committee on civil service examinations ; and contended that the evidence showed that the system now pursued kept inefficiency out of the public service, and got the beet men into it. Mr. M. MILNES did not think there wee sufficient ground for the motion, which impeached the decides of a select committee of the home ; but he still thought that, as undo* prominence bad been given to the submit of tie civil ser vice examination, and that a great deal of individual trouble dad suffering had been caused by the system, which was sat campsomited by a proportionate benefit to the public orrice. Lord STANLEY said it was no part of his duty to defend the wisdom or aptness of particular questions, and he thought that some of those read by his bon. (need bad better he omitted ; but even with regard to these he did not think that justice bad been done to the examiners by the manner in which his boo. hided reed them, because, as he read them, it would be supposed that every candidate would be expected to sasses. them (Hear, bear.) It was not fair to pick oat five or six subjects from • list of sixty-mina (gear, bow-) His hon friend asked why the semmollikee bad not waded diplomatists and commands la the army. Bet be did not know what would be pined by their doing so, as he was not aware that diplomatist' or plumb of the army were better qualified to determine what were the pie cater requirements of the civil service then the gentlemen whom they bad examined. (Hear, hear.) As to whether the system of limited or unlimited competition or dating* I nomination was the best, that was • matter oe whisk every hon. member could form his own opiates. Meowing the feeling of the committee rurally, he was sure that so far from having any bias is the metier they were more sercipulous in bearing the case al Wee who formed the minority than that of the majority. Bat he believed that both parties were fairly represented, sad be bad heard no complaint that any evidence had been shut out. His hon. friend said that be did not object to a pass examination, bat there was always a tendency se lower the test to favour of the individual at the expense of the blie service till it aided la being ao test at all. (Hear.) nier the nompeti- Uwe = eo ttl i t,rikii. &appeared altogether. His bon. that* person's mous or failure in life was Nude to depend en the accident of ea examination. It was quite tree that no test was caneletive, but when the objection was that a man's hare depended on an accident, they must look, to the other alleviative, and consider whether it was not better it should turn en the accident of success or failure is an exami nation than that it should turn es the resi dent of a smell constituency being represeuted by • minister having a good deal of patronage. (Chews.) It had been said that the system of competition threw a vast amount of patronage into the bands of impossible exa miners. But he could as little cumin bow it could be mid that the system gave the civil service exercises a power of irresponsible patronage than that the judos of the land bad an wrespoosible power over property beauee they de. tided the disputes of litigants. (Hear.) No complaint was made that the magistrates and judges el the land had an irrespoossible power, although the matters which they had ti decide were far more important than the superior fitness of a parson to enter the civil service. Then it was mid that the system of competition led to what was called "cram," that was to say, the learning by rote the subje.cts on which the person was to be examined. He believed that there was a great mistake on this abject, It was nub more difficult for • person to learn what he did not understand than what be did understand, and to reprodue it after. But it was a valuable attain. ment when one was able to reproduce quickly what he learned effectually, and that was one of the effects of cam petition. It was also said that though • compe titive examination might be • test of intellectual attainment, it was so test of morel character. But, under the present system, there was the sum test of moral chareeter as under the system of pa tronage. (Hew, bear.) He did not support the system of oompatition on the ground of its being en auxiliary to public education, although that consideration ought not to be dis regarded, bat beauty of its own merits, and because, in • parliamentary system like owe, if the system of patronage was not exercised under some cheek or coated from public opinion, it would prove the most effective means of public demoralisation. (Hear, hear.) He trusted he had vindi cated the fairness of the 000clesion to which the committee had come in their report, and had shown that the report was founded on the evidence. And if the house would only bear in mind the instances which his boo, friend bad Detected from the evidence, and his (Lord Stanley's) com ments upon them, he thoubt they would come to the con clusion that the committee bad not abused the important power which had been placed in their hauls—that of three tigatiog and reporting upon facts which could not be gone into in all their multiplicity and detail by the house itself. (Hear, bow.) Mr. BENTINCIC said that nothing which had fallen from' his noble friend was calculated to remove from his mind the accusation which he had brought last your against the civil service examiners—that they were perfectly irre. sponsible. There was no analogy between their position and that of the judges of the land, the latter I having to decide on suite between individuals, the former hiring to determine the merits of candidates. I The commissioners of the t'ivil Service were totally iris. sponnible even to public opinion, and they contended that no one in that house or out of it had any right to inquire into their conduct ; yet upon them rated the whole of the civil patronage of the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the motion made by the bon. member fur Honiton (Mr. Cochrane) would not be agreed to by the house. He thought the hon. member wee not sufficiently miedful of what we owed to the Civil Service Commissioners. They ware gentlemen engaged in a very difficult duty, and in the face of a great pressure of personal end selfish literate. They were the champions and the friends of the public in terests, end he must say he thought gentlemen standing in that position were entitled to be supported, and sot made the objects of ridicule and sarcasm. His hon. friend led him at finite suppose that he was only dealing with the civil service, and he produced quite a number of . questione which weresupposed to be addressed to clerks. tine waiters, sad letter carriers, and persons of that class. The absurdity those questions addressed to each a class of men the house was called upon to admire ; but the fact was that the claw tines selected were cot put to mac of that class, bat to p e e. sous who were intended to become enamors. (1, hear.) He should therefore hope, when the hon. =o w her returned to this subject, he would treat it with greater accuracy, and abstain from indulging in re. Sections upon gentlemen who had to perform an Important public duty. Lord H. CECIL was aware there was no prnspset of Ise dome the house to set aids a system which might be said to bars not yet had its trial ; but be did not think the language of the right hoe. gentleman was justified in this rasa Sir 8. NORTHCO'rE said the Civil Berries Commis goners only wanted to consult the interest of the departments, and to supply them with good mew. There was one whams iftftgly against thank—Biz B. Beam. ley. But what did Sir R. Bromley say? In mimes to question 343 he said he was in favour certainly of amine tion, and he hoped the present system would never be ear ned to open competition, but be candidly added he hoped never to see the cordial spirit between the House of Com mons and the public service broken down—(laughter)—and in answer to question 347 he further said that moreover it was the power of appointing the sons, ne phews, and friends of members of parliament to public offices which created that strong interest which was felt in the civil service. (Laughter.) Nothing in his (Sir S. Northcote's) opinion could be more smashing than that. He had not a word to add to Sir IL Bromley's evidence. The hen. member for Hoodoo had amused the house by reading some of the questions that had been set to candi date* ; he (Sir S. Northcote) might point to the following, which he thought was a very good one :—" Write a letter to a friend applying for a place or situation, sad stating the grounds fur your application." The answers to that inquiry would show the spirit of the late system. The habits which it engendered of watching for the downfall of • government, and wasting years of life in vain a:pm were of the greatest injury to the community. He ho that the system of open competition would soon be este to all branches of the public service. Mr. MAGUIRE had been asked over and over again for nominations. But he was compelled to refuse ' knowing that in order to obtain them, a member must be a thick and thin supporter of the government, and if he were to obtain a place, the liecretary of the Treasury would look ex tremely black if he happened to see him in the opposite lobby. This was not only degrading to a member of the house but it impeded his free action. (Hear, bear.) The noble lord (Lord R. Cecil) had said that the present system made the members of the service dissatufed. But lie (Mr. Maguire) had inquired into this, and he found that in no case had this dissatisfaction led to insubordination ; men gradually became satisfied with the position they occupied. Mr. COCHRANE said he should not ask the house to divide ea the motion. Leave to withdraw the motion was refused, and the motion was put and negatived without a division. THE LOSD•LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. Colonel DIMON wished to ask the Pint Lord of the Treasury what he eonsidered the position of the Lord-Lien umlaut of Ireland to be with reference to the government of that country ; end whether the Earl of Carlisle intends to r►tain that office. THE INDIAN ARMY. Colonel SYKES wished to ark the Secretary of State for ladle in what manner the provisions of clauses 36, 36 and 68 of the act 21 and 22 Vie., c. 166, and of the act 22 end 23 Vic., c. 27, which guarantees that "all advantages as to pay, peoswse , allowances, privileges, promotion, and other wise shall be secured to the military forces of the Ent India Cowpony in any plan for the reorganisation of the Indian army , " are to be earned out in respect to the 1,225 Akers (more or less) of the loud armies of India who will be thrown out of employment by the reduction of the former fixed establishment of twenty-six European regimental offi cers to six only to serve for the future with, a native regi ment, as directed by the amalgamation order published in the Calcutta Government Gazette, dated April 10, 1861 ' When irregular troops were first established in Indio the complement of European officers was one ceptitio, one lieutenant, sod one ensign ; but for the efficiency of th. re giments it was found necessary to mamma the number from time to time, till they reached the number of twenty-six. When the amalgamation of the services took place, the government at one fell swoop reverted to the old system, and reduced the rumber froadx to six. He asked his right hon. friend how he i nto reconcile the guarantee with the prospects of those officers I The Indian army was now ilweded by being turned from regular to Irregular troops ; but be hoped the resolution of that home would show that justice would be insured to that gallant body of men. Sir C. WOOD said the question raised by his hon. sad gal Ant friend had main in the world to do with the guarantee, nor had it anything to do with the cm ' version of the army from regular to irregular troops. That had been Bested long before. Out of 75 regiments sixty mutinied, sad whatever injury MI bon. and gallant friend anticipated from the conversion of regular into irregular troops, it bed taken place long before the mutiny, so far at least se reprded the army of Bengal. The Madras and Mombsy ermke were not yet converted, when they would be it woad be dose quite gradually, without displacing any officer from any fee or emolument which he might now enjoy. (Hear.) Ilia hon, and gal lant friend dwelt upon the advantages of a vegan', above an irregular army. Now the best envies had been per formed in the North of India by irregular regiments coin meoded by regular officers. His lama sad ipllent friend also referred to the report of a commission which was appointed in India to awry out the amalgamation of the armies, but be (Sir C. Wood) could only my he was very sorry that commidoa was ever appointed—lt bad done nothing but mischief, the best proof of which was the report they bed made, which contained an eseemption that had an founda tion. They seemed that the Madras and the Bombay army were et mos to be reduced to the irregular system. There was no foundation for that. That put an end to one-half the ease of his boa. sad pliant friend. The Commander-is- Chief bad undertaken to find employment for all the officers, with the exception of some senior field officers, who be believed were not competent to the discharge of active duties. With regard to these he believed that a certain number of officers would be superannuated. He thought it was a most mischievous thing of the commissioners to throw out of employment about 1,20 0 o ffi cers to be pen sioned on the Indian revenues. His hon. sad gallant friend argued that the whole of the of should retain all their emoluments and allowances, but thei was tantamount to saying that the army in India should be kept up to its for mer strength for the sake of the officers and without re ference to the public movie,. (Hear, bear.) FORTIFICATIONS AT SPITHEAD. Sir R. PETO called the attention of the bones to the nature of the fortifications about to he emoted at Spithead with reference to the very grad, &anise now nada' pleas la naval armament' ; and inquired if the governmeet intended to reoooaider the question whether Seating batteries would not prove more effective for the defines of the emend than the forts proposed to be constructed on the sheik The ra port of the commiseioners admitted that vessels might take up a position out of range of the forte and shell the lie would ask the house to consider how, after • round of firing, the persons at the forks could see the objects to be fired at. Then again all those that knew anything of Portsmouth Dockyard knew that it had • large area, sad all naval officers would admit that firing at objects from • distance would be futile. lie would ask the house whether they were spending the money at the right place in defend ing the right place? But these forts at Spithead would cod much more than the estimate, and he would press upon the government not to act too precipitately in this matter. The house ought to act with extreme audios upon this subject, for be never found • man either in the army or the navy who spoke with favour of these forts. The govern ment would, he hoped, adopt the recommendation which he had placed on the raper. Sir F. SMITH urged that It was not possible to leave the defence of Portsmouth to ships slows, but that it must in a greet assmure be entrusted to forts.. Admiral DUMMER wee for ships ; Captain Jaya for forts. Lord Pl - The boa baronet who made this motion hoe adopted the views of a very intelligent ofbeer, Captain Cole, and no doubt there is a great deal in Captain Cole's view ; but 1 confess that, after hearing the argu ments, I cannot come to the conclusion to which my ham friend and Captain Cole have arrived. It is somewhat r•- markable that in this very short discussion we have ems military men for forts and naval men for floating batteries. So it moat always be, and that is one of the difficulties which government experiences In coming to • satisfactory oonclusice in • matter of this kind. But I think the argu ment is entirely in favour of forte as against ships. Now, let us just see what my hon. friend proposes as a security for Portsmouth. What ia it that Portsmouth has to fear? Why, a fleet. Now, that fleet we must imagine to be the strongest fleet that the enemy, whoever that enemy may be, can concentrate upon that plat. It would consist of ship of the hugest description, of the most formidable arm. Meet, and to meet them ships we should have a fleet of • corresponding aim. Doss my hon. friend propose that we should have permanently stationed at Spithead ten iron-cased Mips el the largest dimendoes, equal to any fleet that might be brought into Spitbead. Union your fleet was equal to any fleet that could be brought against it 3 ou might bring upon yourselves defeat and diasster. You are to look upon the fleet to protect the arsenal, which would be valuable over and above the fleet which it has for its defence. Then again you never could reckon on having your floating defences on the spot where they are wanted. If there was alarm in another part of the asst do you imagine that the government would allow these two formidable ships to remain at anchor at Spithead when there was an attack on Plymouth, and a demonstra tion on other parts of the coast? Public opinion, and the exigencies of the service , would infallibly produce the result that these ships would be elsewhere, and when the enemy came to Portsmouth it would be deprived of its defences. Theo, again, take the expense. What we propose to seta. bliah would not coat more, nay, not so much, as the armed fleet which, according to Captain Coles theory, would be permanently stationed at Blithest]. But the ship would decay and require repair, and require a large number of sailors to man and work them. A much larger number of men would In required for the ships' than for the forts. Therefore in point of economy either in first constructioo, or in maintenance or in permanence, the balance of opinion is entirely in favour of forts as against ships. They would require lees money to make them, to keep them in repair, and to man them. They would be always there, whereas ships you could not rely upon. My hon. frieod says that ships can be kept on the points where these forte are to be planed. I question that. There seems to be scarcely • limit to the power of artil lery, but there is a limit to the resisting power of ships, because there is • limit in the capacity of • ship to boat with a certain weight upon her, and 1 defy you to construct • ship with an iron coating of sufficient thickness to repel the heavy shots which are now fired from cannon, and yet be buoyant enough to float on the water. That is not the one io a fort. Yon may make • wall of your fort as thick as experience may shoir to you is nee ay to rake the et ark of heavy ordaseee. Then. agile, moon of a certain weight is uernenegedde ea • floating ship. You may have this ea deoh. but on deck they are exposed to the Ors of en adversary. and are woe diabled. In fora you nay have any amount of weight of ordnance which experience has shown you are capable of constructing, and I venture to say if an enemy's fleet were to as sen,ble at Spithead, and these forte were constructed and armed, and the guns of Sir Wiiliam Armstrong and others put into them, these ships would very soon be sent to keep company with the Royal George. It is quite possible that in a matter of this sort repeated experiments are necessary to enable you to be sure that what you are doing will be effectual. On the other hand I entirely concur with the hon. and gallant officer opposite, that no time should be lost beyond what is necessary for the purpose of seeing your way clearly, sad I am quite sure that the course which her Majesty's government have determined to adopt io the construction of these forts is the fittest. I admit the defects of Portsmouth from insufficient depth of water, and that is one reason why government propose' to erect a basin at Chatham, where sufficient depth of water is available ; and I trust we shall have the support of my honourable friend when we come to discuss that question. My opinion, notwithstanding all that Cap tain Cole has said is favour of floating defences, that per manent ones are indispensable. I do not say that we should not have a certain number of ships to assist the forts, but the latter will also be neeesaary. It has been said that the forte would serve as so many buoys to guide an enemy ' s fleet into harbour. Why, does any hon. member imagine that any naval power stands in need of such aid? We have charts engraved to the greatest nicety, we know very well that all foreign governments have obtained those °harts, that foreign ships frequently visit our porta, and that foreign officers are as well ac quainted with all entrances to harbours as those of our own service. Under these circumstances the government feel justified in proposing permanent defence. Now in answer to the question of the hen. and gallant member with respect to the relations which the Lord•Lientenent of Ireland bolds towards her Majesty's government, I would say that those relations are such as have been fixed by law and usage, and with respect to the intentions of the Lord lieutenant of Ireland, 1 have no Men to suppose that he will not continue his services. The best possible relations exist be tween her Majesty's government and Lord Carlisle. Mr. BENTINCK regretted the decision to which the go vernment had corns with respect to the forts, ea be believed that their erection would be a complete waste of money. (Hear, hear.) He wondered that government should have incurred such an expense on a report which completely con tradicted a previous one issued by the mine oommission, and also when they mast know that the whole weight of pro fessional opinion was against such a mums. Sir H. VERNEY bad heard from competent naval men that no fleet could get into Spithead if the buoys were taken away. Why, be would ask, build forts on sandbanks when it was known they were every day increasing the range of the artillery ? Why not build them inshore at Portsmouth or in the Isle of Wight? The house went into committee of supply. 174,4071., repairs of buildings at home and abroad. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to proceeding with the commit tee at that late hour. iir: iFAßitio — lriiita coy 00. ,Me. Mr. F. SMITH objected to the rote of 3,1671. for aboll stores at Woolwich, and other item. After some conversation, Mr. BARING ex hied the necessity of the estimates. Lord PAL N said he begged hoc. member to recollect that there were 203 votes in supply, end he really hoped that when supply was on the paper that order ci the day would be proceeded with. Mr. HENLEY said that supply had not been down any day this week. Early in the session a great point had been made about Tuesdays being given up to the government, but he must say he did not see there had been any great effort to bring on supply. The vote was agreed to and the Chairman reported pro gress. DURHAM UNIVERSITY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, An Roe. Berea moved the adjournment of the debate. The motion was negatived, and the bill wu read a second time.

THZ RED SEA TELEGRAPH. w=IZHVIII risked the Chancellor of the Exchequer wasetit advisable that the question of the Hedges Tahoe* shield be referred toe select committee, in order to inquire whether it might not be worth while endeavour ** to render it available. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he 'tided ow a former occasion that if there was •diseiontke to 'enrolee into this contract he should net have the smelled objection to the apprrioterent of • soled emneettise; Met with regard to the subject mentioned by the hoe. mamba, it ap eaappeared to bim that to appoint • committee would be to devolve upon a portion of the House of COMMON/ • duty which devolved upon the executive government, which it was their duty to undertake, and which, though it was a difficult duty, they had greater advan tag es in performing than • eommittee could have. He would inform the hen. member of the position in which the matter at present stood, so fu es the government was concerned. The question was to be considered in the first place in regard to the inancid engagements of the go. •1111111 Mi, and in the second place with regard to the arterial of the table itself which had been laid, and the bility of turning it to advantage. As regarded the le m aVal part of the question, they hail at present under GLAIld•••106 the awls is which they might come to an arrangement with the pintoes who at present formed the company aad led cheep of the telegraph, and upon that they should be prepared very shortly to proceed to some measure, basun it did net appear, nor as far as be knew to the parties themeless, that there was any particular ad. wi Tlit., la Tenn** the telegraph in the hands of those parties. Oa the enatzery, it would appear on various che:a l r to be desirable that they should be divested of all concern in it. Then, with regard to the telegraph cable, and the possibility of turning it to amount, they bad referred to the Board of Trade, and that board was mow pre. paring • report on the best method of making an era eminence' of the different parts of the cable ou the spot ; and it was obvious that it was only upon such an examination that they could found any plan for the future dealiog with that cable. Of course the expense of the examination and the mode of conducting it were matters for coasideration, but those matter* were at pre seat in the hands of competent persons weaseled with the Board of Trade. BUBLNESS OF THE HOUSE.

Yesterday a Wharntliffe meeting of this com pany was held at the London Tavern, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords, to °milder the provinces of a bill for the construction of railways between Sutton-bridge, in Lisooliash" and Bury Bt. Edmund', in Suffolk, to be called the Mid and Great Northam Junction Railway Company, and for other purpling in con nexion therewith. Mr. SIMMS is the chair. The Cuantuan, in opening the proceedings, said that the East Anglian Company bad from the very Met looked for ward for an increase of their income from the tragic to be obtained by facilitating the means of communication between the north-western districts of the country and the eastern parts of Norfolk. The present project would enable them to realise that ex pectation, and therefore the directors did not hesi tate to advise the company to subscribe one-hall the pro posed capital. The SOLICITOR of the company then reed the heeds of the bill, from whioli it appeared that the capital in the bill as modified by the select committee of the House of Com mons was 100,0001., of which the East Anglian was to subscribe 50,0001., and give them to soave extent running powers over the East Anglian lines to Denham. The ORATINAR, in reply to Mr. Myopia, said that 50,0001. was the maximum which the Sot Anglian Com pany would be Galled upon to subeeribe, and moved the =of so muck of the as sigherised the construe old a railway from the Fast Anglian line at Lynn to the Norwich and :fteMft lies at Sutton • bridgs. Mr. Mann seeesded the _ _ MR TAILOR hoped the meeting would reject the bill, as he did not me from what source they were to obtain the 60,0001. subscription which theyze p t i pay to the under take*. When the bill was in its entirety the capital was to be 400, ~ but of that only 900,0001 wee subscribed by the promoters of It He wished, too, to know it there was any ground for the anticipatios that they (the East Anglin Company) were Ultimately to take epos themselves the responsi bili ty of constructing the lies, and if they were to give up their own engineer and staff ? He wished also to know if they were to be called upon to pay the law and parliamentary expenses of the Mid-Easton Company! He would strongly 'dyne the direoton to husband their resources, as, in the event of future arrangements with other companies, it would enable them to resume an independent position. Hr. Love gild he attended the meeting, not as the chair man of the Eastern Counties Comp= , but as an old holder of unprotected stook. Ho that if they were ever to hope for a return for that stook, the last thing they should do was to sebseribe the 00,0001. now proposed. The Mid-Eastern Company neveroostmnplated nay suck subscrip tion, for their sole obi was to daniage the East Angliaa's prospects, in which they wen stayed by the adios of the Eastern Counties Company. The sole thing, however, for them to consider was, would the subscription be a bone find oes to their interests? It was his owe belief that every 1001. they subscribed would not be worth more than 401. He doubted if the Fast Anglian Company, under its agree ment with the Eastern Counties Company, had the power to give the running powers over their lines contemplated in the bilL . . _ .16.WILLINKON said the principles of the bill were sanc tioned by the select committee of the House of Commas'. lt WWI the only means of escape they had from the grasp of the lion—the Eastern Counties Company. He did not see how the chairman of the Eastern Counties Company could oppose the bill, seeing that in the agreement between the Eastern Counties, the Norfolk, and &stern Union Companies, the concluding stipulation was that they would *mime in their opposition to the Mid-Eastern scheme this year, and next year make it themselves. Mr. FLINT supported the bill. He would, however, ad vise the Eastern Counties Company to come at once to erms with them. Tin CHAIRMAN, in reply, stated that the staff of the East Anglian Company would not be interfered with, nor would they be called upon to pay a single halfpenny of any extra vagant preliminary expenses. He could not in on what grounds Mr. Love could have come to the conclusion that each 1001. they might subscribe would not be worth more than 401., for no one could shut their eyes to the large traffic in coal, fish, and manufactures which poured through Peterborough be tween the eastern coast and the midland districts. He was not prepared to discuss the legal question involved in the proposed running powen, but he m lieved it was perfectly competent for the East Anglian Cpany to act in the man nerAmposed. some further discussion the motion was red of. The CHAIRMAN, in winding.,up the • gave credit to the chairman of the Eastern Counties pony fora sincere wish to help them out of theirditteultiee , and hoped to see him carry out his good Weather, and resters to them that of which they had been deprived by the wiedoidner and fraud of bis predecessors. The prooesdhep then terminated. MARKETS.

The business done in yarns is also of a very limited character, but in the general tons of that branch of the market there is no particular variation slime Tuesday, as it CID hardly be said that there is greater inactivity or that prices are lees grin. There is more evidence of a disposition on the part of buyers to do business for the home trade, and also for China, if minuets would epee to the lower rates proposed to them. 00B.N.—CMILII8FORD, Joni 21.—T0-day being the wool fair, the attendance at.the Corn Exchange was very limited, sad trade very doll.
