LIGHT WEIGHT RACING. Lard REDD:WALE, in moving the mooed reading the lAtibt Wet Racing Bill, tint alluded to the oppueitioa which had hen raised against it by a portion of the Jockey (auk sad thee proceeded to explain tie object which the lii had in vi ew . It waa, he said, unfortunately notorious shot the embark of placing low weights on bon e s had been carried to • ridiculous extent in the promet dey, furnished no fair tams of what the horses could do ; he, therefore, proposed to raise the weight sanctioned by llithhon practice to • minimum of ix stone, and thereby to strike • blow at a great deal of gambling that toga plan by amps of light-weight handicap.. • The Duke of BEAUFORT moved that the bill be reol a Mead time that day three months. This subject had been leweght before the Jockey Club on two different occasions. Oa the tint occseion they were unanimous, end on the sestord there wa. only one dissentient to the opinion that ym I•4l..lativ• interference was required, Thu u•,.,1e earl moral the second reading of the bill no three grounds. lint. that it would improve the breed of hones ; second. that it would do away with rurality ; and thirdly, that M would do sway with the misuse of boys. With respect te the brat objection, he thought that • beery weight was Isr more likely to prove injurion to hones than • lightone. He could aware !Ite noble !coil that he was as anzioto to pat own rascality as any one on the turf. but he could not see how that Tina to be i• fleeted by • man ehangeinthe weights, liseaese there might be pot as muck rurality if the weights were 9 stone instead el 6. It was true that Mr. J. Scott tied him a few days ago that he was in favour of • bill which would make tie minimum weight 6 stone, but when he asked Mr. Boat what he should do if he had a valuable horse on which 11 stone were put, he replied, " Oh, I should wrate'.l him at once." (Laughter.) With regard to the third objection, there was no doubt that attempts were mode to corrupt the boys, but be thought that all such at tempt. could be better dealt with by the Jockey Clubthan ia any other way. It wee the almost unanimous decision of the jockey Club that the bill would do no good. The Earl of WINCHILSE.t was understood to the bill, and to protest against the charges brought by Iledeadde agsaist the supporters of the turf. He was ent wined that the breed of hones was improved by the use of light weight.. The bill fixed a minimum, but not • maximum weight. If the bill were to pass, the same boys would ride as were sow employed, merely carrying extra dead weigbß (laughter.) At present two horse, would Mch B.lWOf. or 9.000 i. : was that • sign of the depreciation of the breed:. (Hear, hear.) When all the world was looking to the sportamen of England to give them leoons ia the art, this bill would be the matelot rebuff they had ever received since the days of Charles L He objecied to the bill interfenng with the arrangements of private gentlemeu, and the sooner their lordships rejected it the better. The Maniuis of CLAN RICARDE thanked the noble lord for bringing this bill forward, and sincerely hoped that it wank' p•Ls, on grounds of humanity. He viewed with dis trust any restnctions on the rights of labour, but in many rams they were necessary. The children employed a* light weight* were sub'ect to continual accidents, merely to mi nister to the pleaiure of cer-ain individuals. (Hear, hear.) The great studs of the country did not belong to those who ran hold handicap races : our Lest horses were those that had pleuty of boss and sinew. de objected to homes being ran so young; they ought to be reserved till they were stronger. Tile late Lord Jersey hail sever run hie horses all they were old stash to ran for the Derby. It would be a good thing to put as end to two-yearold race*. He hoped that the bill would psea, on the grounds of humanity. 1 A fearful accident had occurred to a child of fire stone weight :it the late Hampton races, Ear: GRANVILLE mid this was no question of party; the arcimente of the different speakers bed been rather in analtry with the different kinds of nide, which they advo cated.' He thought that the mouse* which had been introdueed to the house involved detail. which were scarcely a fit subject fur the ducuision of their lordships in parliament. One of the arguments which had been adduced in its favour was that it would tend to Improve the breed of racehorses. But be believed that the Jockey Club were opposed to the principle of the bill. He understood the Jockey Club had no legal power or right of legislation on this subject. (Hear.) They were the landlords of part of Newmarket Heath, and there, therefore, they were enabled to enforce certain regu lations. At other races they hail no power whatever, and it was only by cousent that their regulations were adopted. But did they consist of so exclusive a class--were they a body ..f men no hound up in their particular amusements that they were unable to form an unbiassed judgment on this yitstiou! He had ethruined the list of the Jockey Chili, and found that it consisted of 34 members.

The menden who CfAlipased this body were backed up in Skil Ile.s by a large body of the ionises of race-bores, said he tboaght their opinions on this question were entitled to great ...t i ght There were, however, two grounds upon who, , he thought it would nut be desirable for their lord alias to take legislative action on this question. First, as to ii. argument of humanity towards boys employed in racing. he thought not much stress could be laid upon that.

Lie regretted that ; but at the same time he saw that in the present state of the turf, and cer tainly exte as it was throughout the casstry, it was quite impoesible to carry on ruing without an infu sion of the handicap elemese, and • very mania of harralesn smormiest would be lost if . were done away with altogether. On the other hand, not den that ban -,iir did afford considerable facilities for lag Awes But he thought these abeam did net depad apace the pester or lase amount of weight ; they depeadad of the handicap it.elf, the object of the hasi aa dionppera lf = to deceive others sa to the quality of their horses ad their of carrying weight The noble iced having to the statistics of the turf as showing that hones were run upon much shorter training than they win nen ago, it might interest the noble lord to hear the eacaparison which be (the Earl of Derby) had made between the different ages of horses which were run upon the toff in the years 1829 and 1859. The list he had onisultod, it was true, contained only the number of hone s which woe in the former year, and the whole number which tan in the biter, had from these numbers a comparison m i g ht easily he made. In the year 1829, of two-year-olds the number whist' won was 55, the number of three year-oil borer which won wee 394, and of all agm above three years 179, nada( a total of 528. Thus the propor tion of two-paraids which won in 1829 to three-year-okis was as 2 to 7 ; the proportion of twoleartilde to the whole number 'above three years was as 1 to 9j, and the pro- portion of thrswysar-oler to hones above Ulna years was about 5 to 7. In 1859 the whole number of hones that ran was 1,666 of different ages ; of those 588 WON two yens old, 304 three years old, and there were 591 of all ages above three years. Thus the proportion of two year old horses to three year olds, which ern 1829 was as 2 to 7 in 1859 was r 8 to 7 ; and the proportion of three year Olds to older harm, which in 1829 was nearly as 5 to 7, in 1869 was kr than Ito 3. He mentioned these foots to show that if hone were not kept to training for the pur pose of being in a handicap, when handicaps were in a much lees proportion than they were now, than was ' a much larger proportion of young horses formerly Malt there was at present. ills noble friend objected this then handicaps tended to durum* good hones and to gin great advantages to bad and inferior horses ; and the very character of a handicap wee that you must frame your han dicap ao as to give a moderate three-year-oid Si fair a chance of winning as a superior four or six-year -old, For that purpose you must have a rage of from 4j to 5 stone. If you limn with an amount of 7 none—though his noble friend had now reduced it to six—the consequence would be that in all handicaps the superior old horses would have to wry 11 and 12 stone,. and the = dicap run would be left to inferior horses would have the advantage of being ridden by jockeys _Sari of boys. The good horses would then he &bead* en eluded from handicaps, whilst at present they he a dot chance. But when his noble friend said that hewn That could not awry six stone ought not to be kept in holds& and were good for nothing, he was mistaken, for he (the Earl of Derby) could mention hones that with six stone on their backs could Dot live at a racing pace for three but which were quite competent to carry his nor= scram country for hours up to any hounds in 12 was impossible in all ma to have evii- Mies combined with 1111011Milii effort in id =lt dal ask hewn,, follow in the slights* lamb bows a bone could not rarrl ie 4t atone in k rilerkirsimlf arm and lies, that he be . .. • - - to an inferior class, and that he was imagable of useful for racing pmposs. When the noble Teed said it wee more difficult to miters now than formerly, he must remember that hun ting was • different thing to what it tormerl7 was. Perhaps the noble lord would like to go out at six o clock in the morning on • long slow dreary drag be fore he found his for., and ride at six or seven miles an hour for the remainder of the day. Doubtless for that pur pose our racing hones were not precisely the aol. mals— (" hear, hear," and • laugh)—but he (the Earl of Derby) believed that if you wanted ani. male combining bone and blood action and speed , sinew and endurance—the character of the English horse never stood higher than it did at present in every part of the world. (Hear, hear.) If his noble friend wished to do away with light weights and gambling on the turf, he should also do away with light weights as they applied to steepkchasing. He (the Earl of Derby) never saw but one in his life, and be never wished to see one again. In that ease there were heavy weights, long courses, and old horses. The lightest weight put up was get. 716.; yet he ventured to say that with regard to the character of the race, the amount of gambling, and of danger to horses and men, and the num ber of serious accidents, there was no comparison between Eat races and steeplechase.. He did not mean to deny that there were evils inseparable from handicaps, but those evils did not depend upon li gist or heavy weights, but upon the character of the - handicappers. He (the Earl of Derby) professed his belief that for the interest of the turf he thought their lordships' intervention might be more advan tageo used than in raising the weights as the noble lord proposal. What would be better would be the absolute prohibition of all two-year-old rem. (Cheers.) There was one reason why he thought it desirable that all weights should be somewhat higher than they were at present. It was not on account of the denim to the little boys, but on ac count of the great difficulty there was in procuring jockeys to ride old hones under the present light weight system. As soon as a jockey strived at Sat ilb., he had comps:a -1 tively few opportunities of riding, and the great amount of riding wan monopolised by the boys, who ranged from 6et. 51b. to Ist. 1011 i. When • jockey got to list. 5111 or 84. Tlb., the labour he had in bringing himself down to the required racing weight had cost the life of many a respectable man. He might here state that this subject was under the serious consideration of the Jockey Club, and • notice had been given for the next meeting to consider the subject of raising the weights for the Derby and other races from dst.‘7ll). to fist. 10 lb., and • proposition was also under consideratioe, and it had his cordial (*marrows, for raising weights on handicaps from a minimum of Ist. nb. There were many boys who could ride as well as any men, and who in the beetle of • race would be perfectly masters of their bones under circumstances where his noble friend would find himself very considerably in a dr.. (Hear, hear.) The prevention of gambling and the improvement of hones were no doubt desirable, but he did not think they could be touched or promoted by this measure. He did not think the treble lord had established such a case as to in duce their lordshi ps _ to legislate on the subject when all legislation was a failure. He thought that after the general opinion expressed by their lordships, the noble lord would do well to withdraw the bill without giving them the trouble to divide. (Cheers.) Lord REDESDALE offered to their lordships a few words in reply before he followed the coarse which had been recommended by the noble earl. After what had fallen from the noble earl, and after the declarations which had been made by so many eminent members of the Jockey Club, he would not prom the bill. But as the noble earl talked of the older jockeys growing nervous, he would only read a sentence from • letter which helm) received from • practical man. The writer asked who had ever heard of • rider in the Derby being nervous ; and the reason was that there were in that race no children employed as jockeys. (Hear, hear.) The bill was then withdrawn. The Duchy of Cornwall Limitation of Actions Rill passed through committee.

NWOLITAX AFFAIIIB.=BOMEARDXF.NT OF PALeaMo. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intentiou of her Majesty's government to illeteaell our naval forces in the Sicilian waters, in order the better to afford aid and shelter to such renal as might claim protection from the Euglish flag ; whether it 11/ I intended to communicate to the court of Naples the abhorrence of her Majesty. government of such acts as the recent bombardment of Palermo ; whether it was iatm. , led to accompany such communication with a recom. miedation to conduct the war in future upon the rules re cognised in ciriliaed warfare ; and whether it was the inten tion of her Majesty's government to protect aping, and if esesesary vigorously to endeavour to avert, the interference of aay power in the struggle now pending between the King of Naples and his subjects. Laid PALMUSPON—Sir, in answer to the first of these qualm I lime to state that my noble friend at the head of the foreign department has requested the Admiralty to elation one ship at Mamie, one at Messina, and one at Palermo, and four ships of war are to be stationed in the Bay of Naples., and for the of afford* shelter to each persons as may claim peat soma from the Eaglish flag. I should hope that distribution will by sufilkient and satis factory. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the second ques tion, we understand that the government of Napless has sent diplomatic Rime to Paris and London, who may very shortly—within two days—be expected to arrive here for the purpose of making some communications to the two governments of France and England. I end the house will not for a nieueut doubt that in commonicatioos which may be made to that envoy we shall express those feelings which her Majesty's government, in common with every one in this country, feel in regard to the barbarities com mitted at Palermo—barbarities which are really diagraceful to the present age and civilisation of Europe. (Hear, hear.) With regard to any expectations that such repre. mutations may have any beneScial effect upon the future conduct of the govenunent of Naples I auutot venture to lead the house to entertain any sanguine hopes. The go vernment is far more likely to follow the tome adopted in the cam of the sacking of Perugia and the memeres which then took place, vim, the promotion of the ollicen who committed these atrocities.

Mr. R HERBERT said if • militiaman absented himself the whole of the time he lost the whole of his bounty, but I only for • portion of the time it was left to the discretion d • board of officers whether he should loos a portion or the whets. He did not think it= to make the altera tions wid th the noble lord had . ELECTION COWITEES. Mr. WARNER asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was intended to introduce any meaeure for amend ing the oonstiliatien or procedure of election committees Sir G. C. LEWIS said he might state that the expo &Duey al altering the constitution of election committees Lad tem considered at some length by the committee ap pointed to inquire into the Corrupt Practices Act, and a peat deal of evidence bad been taken upon the subject, and which was now on the table of the house. The result was that they did not recommend any alteration in the coast,- intim of such oommittem, and therefore be was not pre pared to state that the government had any intention to a bill to that effect But it would be necessary to prop w:th the act to precept corrupt practices with a view of renewing it this sesami. COLONIAL MILITARY EXPENDITURE. Mr. CHILDEBS asked the Secretary of State for War whether government would propose to refer to a select committee the subject of colonial military expenditure. Mr. S. HERBERT mid he thought the government would be able to deal with the question without referring it to a select committee of the hones. MILITARY ATTACHES TO FOREIGN 00IIRTB. Mr. 0. STANLEY asked whether it was true that Colonel Hamilton had been appointed Military Attaché to the Court of Prussia, and whether it was the intention of the t h e go to appoint military attechis to the other c of Lord PMBERTON said he would answer these questious. The government of France had appointed mili tary attaches to all their missions at the principal courts of Europe, and the Minh t bad long bad a military officer m Paris. It had n thought expedient to appoint an officer to the minion at Berlin. But he mould sot state to what extent his noble friend at the head of the Foreign Office intended to carry out these appointments. (Hear.) Si, J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the noble bed whether the government of France had lately atissited • naval officer to its mission in this country, and I so whether the British Government intended to seed a naval officer to Paris. Lord PALMERSTON said the government of Frame bad recently attached a naval officer to its mission in this country, but he did not know whether his noble friend would appoint a naval caw to reside at Paris. Stanley bad resolved to mai n t a i n a local army to the extent of two-fifths of the European force. Lord Canning was in favour of a local forte, and Colonel Durand, who had been sent home by the Governor-Oeneml charged with the considered that the proposed number was too and he required at least 24,000 artillery ; the local force to be tw o -thi r d s o f th e whole European force. This shook his previous opinion, especially♦ coupled as it was with the cond uc t o f th ose w h o bad been the company's European troops, while it was found the expense of the Queen's troops would be much leas than had been calculated. The question then was not whether an existing local European army should be maintained, but whether a new one should be raised. It was necessary to maintain • large European army, and the question was, whether the greatest part of that army should be load, and that two different set. of troops, raised and organised on different principles, should be employed in the same service and under the same authority, a very dif ferent state of things to that which prevailed when the company's ride was in existence. The right hon. gentleman then reed a number of extracts from letters giving opinions favourable to the plan he was pro posing ; among the writers of which were Sir J. Outram, Sir W. Mansfield, and Lord Clyde. One great argument in favour of the plan was, that the expense attendant on it would be 200,000/. less than that required for the main tenance of local troops ; while it appeared to him, not withstanding opinions of weight to the contrary, that India could be adequately garrisoned by the Que e n's troops of the line. r 7 S EYMOUR rose to move the adjournment of the debate. ((ries of " Lord Stanley.") Lord STANLEY said he had risen for the same purpose. He wished to know to what day the debate was to be held adjourned. So. C. WOOD feared that, on account of the army esti mates, it could not be sooner than Thursday week. Colonel SYKPN was ready to accept the challenge which had been thrown down by the right hon. baronet, and hoped to be able to prove the necessity of a local army. The hon. and gallant member was proceeding to read an opinion of Lord Canning but was called to ord 's,er. Lord PALMERSTON hoped that having heard the able statement of his right hon. friend, the house would consent to the adjournment of the debate. Mr. AYRTON thought the course proposed by the go vernment would be the more convenient come for taking a regular and proper debate on this most important subject. After a few words from Sir E. Cot IC/3EOOILE and Mr. LIDDELL, Sir C. WOOD said he would consent to the adjournment of the debate until Thursday week, in deference to the general wish of the house. After some further conversation, the debate was ad journed accordingly. PASSING TOLLS. Mr. FIENWICK moved that the howe go into committee to consider a resolution for leave to bring in a bill fur the Abolition of Passing Tolls.

My husband knew el it. He wee present when the was was bring melted. Mrs. Baines did not come into the room when Dr. Browne put his hand on my shoulder. Old Mrs. Burgers came into the room when Dr. Browns put his hand on my shoulder. He had desired I should not interfere with the children, and I was annoyed. He pot his hand on my shoulder, and said, " Mrs. Burroughs, I'm sorry I've offended you ; think no more of it." He went down to my husband, and said, " Burroughs, I've had a fuss with your wife, bet we have made it up,^ and my husband shook hands with him. By the Judge—lt was when I was very ill in the dining room that Jane Howard told me the story which the groom had told her and that she had seen my husband and Mrs. Baines walking out at right My aunt was with inc. I did not charge Mr. Burroughs with the set related by the groom, bemuse I could scarcely credit it, but I charged hint with walking arm-and-arm with her. I have since acted on Dr. Browne's offer about the children. They are now at school, and oome to me in the holidays. Ann Rudgman a servant formerly in the service of Mr. Burroughs, deposed that Mr. Burroughs tool to go into the n and Min Baines ICAO his dressing - room. She badknown him remain in the nursery for an hour at a time when the children were there. The door used to be open. The visite were MIS frequent latterly. On one occasion she saw Mrs. Beings run out of the day nursery, and Mr. Burroughs steadier does to the wall in the nursery. Mrs. Baines afterwards told her she had come down ham her bedroom, and that Mr. was standing in the room to frighten her. Mrs. Baines told the servants in the kitchen that Mr. Burroughs had said to her she should not peter below the knee, as it would spoil the shape of her leg. (Laughter.) Jane asked her how it was the manor knew where she gartered— (laughter)—end she replied that he saw it while she was going up the cellar stairs. (Lan* . der.)

Mrs. Burroughs did not ask her to leave. Dr. Browne had not given her money, or paid for her lodgings. She was now living at Mr. Holmes's, at flapel, near Dorking. Mrs. Burroughs had spoken for her to go there. Dr. Brownewsa living at Mr. Holmes's since she had been there. She had been in lodgings in Horsham tor two days with Jane Howard. Dr. Browne came there each day and spoke to Jane Howard in her presence, but she did not notice what they were saying. Dr. Browne used to sit down in the kitchen. (Laughter.) He talked about Mrs. Burroughs leaving. She forgot whether he talked about Mrs. Baines or not. He never gave Jane Howard anything in my presence. He never gave me a farthing. Jane told him what she had seen, Mrs. Baines going on as she ought not to have done. Witness had said nothing. She bad said she had seen him in the nursery, and her in him dressing-room. (Laughter.) She had waited on Dr. Browne at Mr. Holmes's, but he had never spoken to her about it. He had never taken down in writing what she was to my. Prior, the groom, went to Cape], in Mr. Holmea's service. Mr. Holmes was a large fanner. He attended on the doctor's dog-cart. She had left Holmee's service a week ago, because she did'not like the place. Prior had left at the same time. She had heard Dr. Mown. tell Jane Howard she was to join Mrs. Burroughs, and she rto go. Lloyd, the upholsterer, had said to Jane ozd, " Did you ever see anything improper between Mrs. Baines and Mr . Burroughs ?" .nd she said she had not. Witness said she had seen nothing improper. (Laughter.) Mr. Baron Wilde—Did you see anything improper' Witness—No, sir. Mr. Baron Wilde—Then what you told Mr. Lloyd was true. Witness—Yee. Crowexamination continued—Some of the times when Mrs. Baines went out at night her child was iIL Its-examined—Mr. Lloyd began to chaff Jane. He told her she was jealous because Mr. Burroughs did not give her medicine instead of Mrs. Baines. (Laughter.) The trial was again adjourned. THE CENSUS BILL &r C. DOIJOLIIB asked whether it was intended to go on with the O Bill to-morrow, and whether the go vernment were prepared to give up the clause so much ob jected to. Sir G. C. LEWIS said as to going on with the bill to morrow, that would depend upon what time was previously occupied. He could nos, therefore, state whether it would be in his power to bring on the bill, but his wish wee to do so. With reprd to the provisions of the bill to which the honourable baronet bad Ouded, he had already stated his recliner to withdraw the penalty which he had pro posed to introduce for the purpose of obtaining information respecting the religions profession of each individual. He would be ready to withdraw it in committee. He must take steeples to one remark which had been made, that it was intandedbT the government to ask for the religious opinions of each individual;; that was not proposed to be done, but to ask forSAVI the religious BANK professio S. n of each person. NGS The CRANCELlolleirkelialiEQUElt postponed until Friday week say proesedinp respecting Nanny bank MOWS. _ BRITISH OCCUPATION 9F PALERMO. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked whether it was the fact that the British admiral in the Mediterranean had sent marines on shore to occupy the fort of Oast.Raman) at Palermo ; and if so, whether the occupation was to be merely tempo rsry and for the of facilitating negotiations Lord PALMEN said that an arrangement had been agreed upon between the Neapolitan commander and Oari• baldi to the effect that, pending their negotiatiorra, Castello, mare should be occupied by the British admiral. Recent occurrences, however, led the government to believe that this occupation had not taken place. TEE ADMIRALTY. Admiral DIINOOKBE rose to move for a select com mittee to inquire into the constitution of the Board of Ad miralty and the various duties devolving thereon. He had not, he said, any intention of censuring say Board of Ad miralty, pest or present, in making this motion. He merely wihed to suggest certain alterations with a view of strengthening the naval administration of the country. Lord C. PAOET observed that the Board of Admiralty had not shown any aversion to inquiry, four committees having been appointed to inquire into various branches of their duties, with the fall approbation of the board. It was now proposed to inquire into the constitution of the board itself • but he thought It advisable, before this was done, to wait the result of an inquiry now going on into the management and control of the army. He described the numerous and important functions belonging to the Bard a Admiralty, and urged the danger as well as difficulty of altering its constitution. OSBORNE thought that some of the objections offered by Lord C. Paget showed that be had misunder stood the motion, which was a simple one, and would do a great deal of good if it only disabused the public mind as to the charges made against the Board of Admiralty, if they were not true. Lord C. Paget himself had accused the board of spending some millions of mossy more than they maid account for. He supported the motion. Colonel DICKSON spoke in favour of the motion. Sir J. PAKINGTON, after complimenting Lord C. Paget upon the frank, calm, and dispaasionate manner in which he bad met the motion, confessed that he had gone further in defence of the present constitution of the beard than he (Sir John) was disposed to go. Theoretically, he thought the board not a perfect machine, and that IL, constitution might be im proved. On the other hand, considering the enormous amount of Mainess of a complicated character which the beard bad to transact, and the difficulty of suggesting safe alterations, he did not wish to see the inquiry handed over to a committee without experience, and thought it would be well for the government to take the matter into their hand., and that the inquiry would be better conducted by a well-selected commission. He was unable to vote for the motion. Mr. LINIALtY supported the motion. He thought that house the proper tritmial for inquiry into the eoustitutiun of the besot Mr. BI—NTINCK was of opinion that so long ass civilian was •t the head d the Board of Admiralty the system would be imperfect. The First Lonl should likewise be removed as far as possible from the influence of the House of Commons. Sir C. NAPIER asked bow it was possible that such an • enormous machine, upon which the safety of the country depended, could be properly managed when the First L o n! was so frequently changed, and generally a civilian. In showing how the present system worked in practice, he dwelt upon the embarrassment of naval commanders through conflicting orders received from different co-ordinate autlio. ruins; upon the exercise of the patronage, and upon the manner in which the system affected the discipline of the navy. Instead of a First Lord of the Admiralty, he would have a Minister of Marine. Mr. WARRE reoosumeaded that the motion should not be pressed, and Sir J. ELI'HLNSTONE thought that Admiral Duncombe might be content with the very full dismission which the subject had undergone. Sir C. WOOD justified his conduct with reference to the building of the gunboats (the subject having ari s en i n th e course of the debate), and denied that he had administered the patronage of the Board of Admiralty, while first lord, without the ooncurresce of the other members. Lord LOYALNI was opposed to the motion, which was supported by Sir M. SEYMOUR, who was of opinion that a civilian was preferable to a naval of as the head of the Admi ralty Board. The motion,after a short reply by Admiral DUNCOMBE, was withdrawn. THE EUROPEAN ARMY—INDIA. Sir C. WOOD moved for leave to bring In a bill to repeal so much of the eat 22nd and 23rd Vie., a. 27, as enables the Secretary of State to raise men for her Majesty's local European forest in India, and stated the principles of the plan which he prep:owl for the amagamating the local force with the Queen's army. Each of the armies of the East India Company in the three presi. demise comprehended a number of European troops, comprising infaetry and artillery. A large portion of these, 11,000, were discharged after mutiny of the native army. The Queen's troops In India generally num bered about two to one to those of the company. The question au which he wished to take the opinion of the house was whether a local European tome should be main tained, or whether the whole European force should consist of taineseee troops.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS.-Juxi 12. Sittings in Br eeo.--(Befere Lord Chief Jost* Erie and Jestiesa William, Willis, and Bybee.) OAKLEY V. OODDYLIX.-111Z 0114 T BILL CU/E. The court having ordered a new trial in this cue, Mr. James a few days ago obtained • rule to rescind the rule for • new trial, unless the plaintiff should undertake to go to trial at the sittings after this term at Guildhall. The principal ground of the motion was that delay would very much prejwiice the defendant, who bad been commanded to return to his royal master the ex-Sing of Oude. Mr. M. Chamber (with him Mr. Mactiamara) now showed cause splint the rule, and submitted that • new trial hay ing been granted "as a matter of right." and not as a favour the court had no power to direct the plainti ff to 4e to trial within a 'wide tame, any more than they could it were a first trial, and there had been no undue delay. The plaintiff was anxious to go to trial as soon as be could, with proper regard to his own case being fully understood and prerly laid before the jury. Mr. Coleridge appeaerd in support of the rule. The court discharged the rule. COURT OF RXCHEQUREL—Juxa 12. !ADM V. BBOWNE-13.111.AORDINARY LIB CAM (Continued from yesterday's Express.) After • delay of a few minutes, Mrs. Burroughs' cram-examination continued—We then went to Weetbourne-pask•terrace. Dr. Browne did not take the lodgings. When my aunt advised Mr. Billing to take my part in this dreadful film he said, " For God's sake don't come near me." He did not ry, " Don't come near me" on account of Dr. Browne. Two or three times alter we got to Weetbourne•terraoe Dr. Browne came. We were sitting ►t the window watching for him. Ido not think he was there on the 9th. This letter is from my little boy to his father. It is dated the 9th. The envelope is not in Dr. Browne's disguised handwriting. It is my disguised handwriting. Mr. James—Your little boy asks his father to write to him. From that day have you ever told your husband your address? Witness—No ; we were a fortnight at Westbourne-terrace. Dr. Browne came there five or six times, and took his dinner and tea when he came. I never went out with Dr. Browns while I was at Westbourne-park-terrace with my little boy—never, unless my aunt was with us. We went to Southend. Dr. Browne came to Southend • few days afterwards, and slept at the Royal Hotel. My aunt and took the lodgings at Ivy-cottage for him as an invalid gen tleman. He had been suffering from diphtheria. I knew my aunt wrote to him. It was three weeks after we went there that we took the lodgings for him. His children were oa • visit to us, sad he wished to be near them. He took his meals in our place. When we went to London we went to the Portland Hotel. He breakfasted there, and my aunt asked him to take lodgings. He took the lodgings at Down. shire-hill, Hampstead. I never went to London with him and my servant. I went out with him once while I was there with my little boy to take the lodgings where I am now. Mr. James—Where! Witness—Must I give up my residence? Mr. Baron Wide—l don't see why you should not! Witness—Bemuse I have the custody of my child, and Mr. Burroughs will take him away. Mr. Baron Wilde—You bad better answer. Witness—At No. 4, Ashburton-cottages, Highgate. Dr. Browne has visited us there. It is a furnished house, which I took in my aunt's name. Dr. Browne has not contributed to the maintenance of the establishment. He has lent my aunt money—perhaps 701., and she bas deposited her plate at his bank as security. My attorney was recommended to me by Mrs. Jarvis, • friend of Dr. Browne. Dr. Browne knows of the proceedings I have taken in the Divorce Court. Ido not Impute to Mn Baines that she committed adultery with my husband on the night when my husband went upstairs on the pretence of putting out the candle. She did not say to me the following day her character was as dear as mine, and she would leave the house that day. I charge her with the commission of that offence between the Ist of November sad the sth. I charge her on the scene which the room must describe. I charge her on the act that she was in Mr. Burroughs's mom between the Ist and the sth, when I was away from home. It was Jane Howard, my servant, who first told me of it. She is the woman who has lived with me since I left. I do not charge her on my own observation, but on • tale of Jane Howard's. (Sensation.) She first told it to maoc Monday, the sth of November. I did not tell my husband of it. I told Dr. Browne of it when he was at Southend. lie knew it before from several people, I imagine. I told Mrs. Baines to take the charge of my busband's clothes. They were kept in his dressing room That was a fortnight or three weeks before I left. That was after I saw her in the dressing room, when we had • party. I said to my has. baud, " What is Mrs. Baines doing here r and ho replied, " Making the tea and coffee." I said, "Then you have no right to be sitting there as well." It was the day beforethe funeral of her child I heard the whispering nn the stairs. After that I took her as my servant, and gave her the charge of my husband's clothes. I was excited, and tried to think it was not my husband who was on the stairs. Mrs. Baines attended on me one night when I had spasms, and wheu my aunt had left me. It was on Wednesday, the 7th, after the dreadful disturbance, that my aunt said my temper was intolerable. When Mr. Burroughs took us to Guiffordatreet, he said hal/should offend his brother, but it was only an act of humanity. I toll Mr. Frank Burmighs I would not return until everything was made right. I said to my husband that if he would shako hands and exonerate me that would be quite sufficient. I did not insist on Dr. Browne's being permitted to return. I said if he would shake bands with him that would be sufficient. I was fre quently in Dr. Brown's photographic room alone with him, but the room was in the yard, and the groom was there. I was not more there when my husband was out than when be was in. I have often been in the photographic room with Dr. Browne alone when the door was locked, but that was that the children might not break in and disturb the Mr. ,macs-Had not Dr. Browne, your photograph hanging in his room Witness—He had Mrs. Baines' as well. (Laughter.) Ho had several. The children's and many other*. Mr. Jews—Was not hie in your room! Witnese—lt might be, there were a groat many them. It was my servants, Jane Howard and Ann itudgnian who told a MIL Barnes used to be oat at night My husbandi milked se if I would sit op with her when her baby was ill. I said I was not strops switsgh, and he went and sat up with hertill four o'clock in the morning, and I remonstrated with him about it. Her husband was not • trades. mss In the town. He was • small tradesman at Cowfold —he was hardly worth the name of • trial's:ma. I told Dr. Browns at godhead that there had been as affair with my MARKETS. COTTON.—LivramoL, Juan 12.—The business to-clay is ex ce edingly limited, and the market very Bat, with prices nominal. The ages are-3,000 bales, including 2,340 American, at 41d. to 81d. ; 500 Buret, 31d. to 3id. ; 20 Euptian, ; 350 Pernam, 71d. to 81d. ; 20 Maninhain, 70.—0 f which 500 are for speculation and export. The week's Import is 29,271 bales. COTTON GOODS.—DfaNcirearita, Juan 12.—The yarn market has been flatter even than it was last week. For no market, home or foreign, have there been any sales worth naming, and the hopes that were held out in some quarters on Tuesday last that the depression was nearly at the lowest, are discredited by the fact that prices have since given way in Dearly all kinds of 'pinning. to the extent of id. per lb., without leading to a resumption of activity. The market for cloth is as void of animation almost as that for yarns. There are offers making for India, but at lower prices, and buyers hang back at a discrepancy between the terms offered by themselves sod those of mantdbcturers only amounting to l,d, to 3d. per piece on shirtinp and jacconets, where the reductions already secured are very considerable. No doubt this is amounted for by the f►ct that in addition to the checks given by the alteration of duties in India, it is dis covered that the markets there have been greatly over supplied with good*. Where sales have been forced, as is some cases today, these low offers have had to be accepted but there is reason to believe that no reduction likely to be made would lead to much business. The continued bed weather and political news aid to some extent in increasing this depression of the market, and nearly all kinds of cloth are flat end drooping as compared with last week, bed as the market then was. In low lung cloths and T cloths, which shale the general depression, though there is more doing in these than in shirting+ and jamonets, the decline is not so severely felt, because the qualities of cotton from which they are manufactured have come down to some extent in price. WOOLLEN.—Lune, TUNE 12.—There has only been a small attendance of merchants in the halls this morning, still a fair business has been transacted, principally in bra nd - cloths and heavy goods. MAN UFACTIMES. —llyonnas raiz, JUNE 12. —The continued unseasonable weather puts a check on the demand for light summer goods, and business in the other branches is not very brisk. Stocks are on the increase, which is rather unusual at this time of the year. WOOLl2l.—Huint69rrimi, Jul's 12.—There is • mode. rate demand for colonials, without any change in prices, but low foreign is lees inquired for. CORN.—HULL, JUNI 12.—The weather during . ' the week has been again unfavotuable, more or less rain daily, and the ground saturated with moisture ; the growing crops are suffering from the want of a more genial temperature, and there is the prospect of a late ingatbering, and unless • change should take place shortly, the consequences must be serious. At to-day's market a fair supply of English wheat, which is taken off at is. to 2s. per qr. over last week's rates-60s. per 50fibs. top price fur red. Foreign sells freely at advance noted during the week, 565. paid for new red Hambro', and this figure refused fur choice Baltic per 4801le. Barley held firmly at fully late rates. Beans and peas move off at prices in favour of sellers. Oats still dull, but not quotably lower, the bulk of the import pa to granary, and there ts less pressure on the market. The foreign imports last week are as under :—Whesit, 5 043 qrs.; barley, 2,687 ; oats, 13,294 ; beans, 1,593 ; pees, 762 linseed and rapeseed, 8,100 ; oil cakes, 50 tons ; bones, 497 tons.

The wheat plant is suffering much from the avant of sun on the strong lands ,• also early sown oats. At our Com Exchange this day we had a fair show of wheat, with good many samples of old.

NIWCASTLI, JUNI 12.—The weather has again become exceedingly wet, with south east wind. At our market this morning we bad a moderate show of wheat from the grower., bat there being a fair quantity offering from the coast as well as abroad, factors in consequence failed in establishing any advance over Saturday, although they were not willing to sell excepting at more money, henee only a moderate business resulted. For fine new Suite'''. red file. could not be exceeded, nor 50s. for a cargo of choice yellow Scotch, whilst the transactions in foreign were confined to a little old French red, at 565., and white Us., and a cargo of new red Kiel at 60s. 6d., 625. at the same time being paid for new Wolgut red, all per 5041 M. Flour commanded more attention, and may be written is. per sack dearer ; choice Norfolk househ o lds r ea li s i ng 41 s. and 42a, and whites io proportion ; there BOOMS, therefore, every prospect of our millers now establishing the advance attempted on Saturday, in which cue the retail price will be raised in conformity. Grinding barley sold slowly, and in its value little alteration can be noted, and the same re marks will apply to other articles. B.sr.ismuar, Jules 12.—T0-day's market was mea gre ly supplied with pain, sad the extremely wet day caused • thin attendance. The late heavy rains, together with cold winds, have had a serious effect on our local as well as metropolitan market; and this morning fanners asked an advance of from 21. to 4m. per qr., which was acceded to on the part of buyers ; but only a small amount of business was done. Flour advanced 2s. to 3s. per sack. The business in barley was of a nominal character, but the few sales effected in grinding samples were at an advance of 6d. to is. per qr.

AIICUAND New Ze•LAND.—Our edvices are to 28th of Marci—A destructive fire took place on the morning of the 27th of March, by which the stores and premises of Messrs. Collins, Norris, J. Henderson, Wynn, Creagh, J. Buchanan, G. Grahame Auckland Laud Asso ciation offices, Mr. Hansard's, Daws on and Kay's, and Cheese. man's, were destroyed, and other premises injured hy hasty removal and otherwise. The Msories, male and female, worked stoutly at the engines, while most of the Europeans looked on idly. The loss is supposed not to exceed 6,0001. An important discovery of coal has been made at Monguant, to the north of Auckland. The governor has prohibited the landing or sale of guns, gunpowder, and all other warlike stores throughout the colony of New Zealand without special license from government. In the disturbances at New Plymouth Mr. &Ain was shot through the body, Private Goddard shot through the thigh, Private Corbett, of the Light Company, was killed. The revenue for the quarter ending December, 1859, shows from the customs 15,0001.

Artillery Company would perform at intervals. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is colonel of the called o y z ry and a guard of honour with the banded to Ma on the morning fi xed for the fete.ing upon by the officer commanding the guard to commence playing, the band, with one exception, refused, upon the ground that extra pay should be given for such duty. The officer in command in vain attempted to convince the men of the folly of putting forward the claim at such a time and under such circumstances—the men were resolute, and announced their intention of going back to town. A couple, however, were seised, kept prisoners by the guard, and eventually marched off to 'Finsbury. On Thursday the band attended the usual parade, when, with the exception of the one man alluded to, the whole of them were paid up to that day and dismissed, after giving up their kits. TEM STBITN or REABEIUBLNCIL—It is asserted that some curious revelations will shortly be made with re spect to the system adopted of reassurance. They arise out of a policy effected with a company on the life of an OCCOI2* trie character, whose habits are alleged to have been ins gular. It seems that the policy effected was for the sum of 16,00 W., the office taking the life, and reassuring about 15,00 W. Now the amount of the policy is claimed some of the offices have agreed to pay, while others as strenuously refuse. Although an extra rate was charged at the time of the insurance, circumstances have since been brought to light which, if stated in the original proposal, would, it is averred, never have been accepted.
