The Earl .f WICKLOW did not know why Scotland and should be deprived of a benefit of this kind, for he vall.r.tocdthe priseipie of this bill to be that it was to induce the po ople of this country to substitute a more wholesome beverage for that fie spritual beverage—(a laugh) —to which they were now sgeostomed The Earl of DONOUGHILORE said he understood that t►is was to be treated as a supply bill, and he was very sorry I. bear it, betamee the greater part of the bill related to matters with nerd to which that house was in the habit of legislating. H. agreed with the noble earl (Earl Shaftes buryl that this was not a proper time to enter into a dis mission of the privileges of the House of Lords, and, there fore, ho should be very unwilling to introduce any amend ment Tree Earl of HAIL RENGTON said this was a mixed ques- • tics, partly lima and partly otherwise. He did not object , to the free taste part of the bill ; bat what he objected to was the new licensing system. Intoxicating drinks were the great causes of imammility, of irreligion, and disease ; awl this bill would**. crime more within the mach of the people. He denied that light wines, as they were called, were so innocent a beverage as they were said to be. Beer contained only eight per cent. of alcohol. but wine contained from 10 to 40 per cent. The most eminent authorities were agreed in stating that the people of this country taxed themselves to the amount of more than 50 millions a year for wine, spirits. beer, and tobacco, and he deprecated any mews which would place alcoholic drinks more within the reach of the people. Bari GRANVILLE would not again raise the gnu' lion of conditutional privilege. This bill no doubt erne the partly of a fiend character, and partly one which @Redid general policy. Their lordships, however, could dud with the latter portion only by amending car expungi ng the clangs, relating thereto, and it was the invariable Sm ite, of the House of Common, to consider themselves obliged to reject any bill of this kind which hail been so amended. Of course it might then be open to the govern ment in the other house of parliament to re-introduce the bill, but it would only be worth while to adopt that course in order to attain some very mapwtant object. A noble Iced had @mewed kis wish to mike an alteration in the bill, with a view to give the rez magistrates the same powers with regard to wine linemen that they Dow maimed with to public-home. Bat the of the main objects of bill was to diminish thou , very powers. At present the magistrates took upon themielres to decide what number of public-houses were accessary in a district, and the result war • mono poly injurious to the mummer, and not beneficial to the public morals. Therefore one of the great advantages of the bill was that it would make • change in that system, and any amendment to the effect which the noble lord proposed could not be agreed to. Another noble lord had railed an objection, that it was hard for Ireland and Scotland to be excluded from the benefits of this bill, amd his noble friend hail volunteered an answer to that, say ing that when the bill was first introduced it did apply to Ireland and licetland„ but that the Irish and Scotch made each an opposition to it, that the government found it he prosible to mmatain that point. Unfortunatelf , this was quite wroag, and his noble friend had been greatly math/onset Ireland and Scotland were not in the bill orighudly. He believed that in Ireland opinions were divided as the subject, some being in favour of the bill them, and MOO against it ; hut in Scotland all the opinions be bed heard were strongly in favour of it. According to the meal preoedeet, when this bill had been Famed for England, a 'Millar bill would 1 iotmiluced, applicable to Scotland sad to Ireland, with such modifications as might be desirable on /tomtit of the different police regulations and other cir cumstance of the country. The house then went into committee on the bill. The lid of HA ktlahiGTON drew attention to the 13th douse, cleaning the new poems of the magistrates. He pemsood to stnke out from line 27 to IMe 41. and to put in seem words, giving the magistrate. the sue = with regard to these wine licenses, that they now with repird to other licet.aes, •' in the exercise of a air discretion, =Med by the act of the 6th George IV., chapter 6, Eel ORANVILLE remarked that he bad already stated lb, mesons why he could not agree to this amendment.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIQUISH mid the question pull by the bosomed& member fee flendiese (Mr. Fituperald) would be better answered by lib Noble friend the Berelney fee Affairs.

With respect to what bid fallen from the hos. member for lineletry, he could maitre him he should be very glad to do justice to thaw whom the hon. member represented if be *mid show to him that he had done them injustice. But the bon. member had pursued an incoove sleet course in relation to this matter, inasmuch as he had taken three months toproduos this vindication. which it &p- Mulleas in his promotion ap of eat part the time. If the entlemen had favoured him with the documents he should have been in a position to examine the case and to have reverted again to the sources from which he received information. and to have given to the hoe. gentleman • re ply either chiding by, retracting, or modifying what he had stated. The hon. gentleman had met bat a very small por tion of the allegatioes which feU from him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), and those with whomthe hon. gentleman communicated, had very much misunderstood him. What he had said was, not that masters were driven to employ boys in the corkriatting trade, but that the regulations of tnt dse unions very greatly limited and fettered trade. He had also stated that he was informed that six Ostalonians who came over from Spain to this country, for the purpose of working at the trade of corkeutting, IMO paid higher wages than the Enchsh workmen. With regard to any change in the law of Spain in respect to the exportation of the taw material of cork, the right hon. gentleman must indeed be very sanguine if he thought by this time the government should have been able to announce that any chase had been effected in the law of Spain, inasmuch an the change in our own law had not yet taken place. The general law of Spain did not prohibit the exportation of corks ; it was only the local regulations of Catalonia that prohibited that exportation, and those regulations were mainly founded on the operation of a principle in Catalonia very like the principle of our trades unions. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) believed that his noble friend intended to make au application to the Spanish government in respect to these commercial arrangements, when the sub sidiary arrangements 0000seted with the commercial treaty with Trainee had been carried into effect. In respect to what had fallen from the hon. and gallant member for Ludlow (Colonel P. Herbert), that err • subject which deserved the attention of the house ; but he would not enter fully into it now, inasmuch as a vote wield be pea posed in the estimates for completing the mentthictuxe the cable, and when that came before the home hes. geede men would have a full opportunity of speaking es When the guverumeut came into o ffi ce they - found that • contract had been entered into for the manufacture of certain submarine cables. There was no time to carry out those plans last year, but he looked for the accomplishment of them during the present year. A variety of circum stances led the government to think that upon the whole they should n the justified in aside( the house to vote money for the purpose in the present state of such enterprises. It might be recollected that when the project was introduced by the late government there was a difference of opinion amongst the authorities as to the practicability of laying down the deep sea cable with a prospect of success. The experience which they had had during the last j twelve n.ouths had gone far to support the views which the go vernment took of the difficulty of the efficient working of such cables. The instances of failure in the working of those cables were numerous, or nearly universals He be lieved that at this moment there was ear deep sea cable—a cable 1,000 or 1,900 fathoms eletent operation.

In answer to the question put by the hon. semerbar far the Kiejs County, he mad demur to obtain log lie 'information as to the easel state of Erris from foreign newspapers. (Hear, hear.) He must express his sorrow however that in the district of Effie there bad been peat distress . In the autumn of last year, the storms wrung lost at the period of baguet, destroyed a great portion of the oat crop, and occesioned • failure in the fishery, and this um followed by the extraordinary, drught in the present spring, which stopped the growth of fodder for cattle. From then causes great dieters had spread through that district. He must plead guilty to the charge of not hark:: interfered with the operation of the Poor-law Beard. He did not wish the hon. gentleman to suppose it was the intention of the government to interfere and break down those laws which parliament had provided for the relief of the ne cessities of the people. There was room for nole c e: r t 600 paupers in the Belmullet workhouse, and to the last accounts received there were 116 inmates there. The maximum relieved at any one time had been 115. In the last month for which the government had • return the number relieved had been 51. The Poor-law Board had determined not to tsise additional rats at the pre sent but to borrow money. All the engagements in the work house itself were reported to be quite satisfactory, and the steps taken by the guardians ample. That was the exact state of the our so far u the paupers were concerned ; but the persona who bad suffered the greatest distress were the smell farmers. (Hear, hear.) Mimi would the boa. gentleman have the government do! He seemed to imagine the government ought to have instituted a system of public works. He (Mr. Oardwall) believed that what was going on on many estates in that district was • much more wholesome and much more natural mode of relief. It appeared that on several of the estates the landed proprietors had not been inattentive to their duties, and that there vrapeat activity in tillage going on. He was told that su pplies of meal were abundant, and that amnge °tenni for its distribution were complete; while with re. gard to seed, • great quantity was to be had at T low prices. (Hear, hear.) He felt that if her M ajesty's government had interfered at an earlier se private en. ' terprise might have been paralysed. He had now laid be fore the homes the present aspect of the awe, and he did not think there was any ground of complaint against the ad ministration of the Poor-law authorities (Hear, hear.) THE WAKEFIELD PETITION. Captain JTERVISsaid that understanding from the hon. and learned gentlensn the Attorney-G-eneml that the pro secut4ons in oonnexlm with the Wakefield petition had been instituted under the statute law, and not under the common law, he should withdraw the motion on the subject which stood in his name on the poper. The ATTORNEY-GEL said that if, contrary to his opinion, it should be found the lapse of one year was an objection to the prosecutions he had instituted, no attempt would be made to support those prosecutions by resorting to the common law. (Hear, hear.) If it turned out that they wens/bided by time, contrary to the opinion of him self and of those with whom he had consulted, the prosecu tion' would certainly be given up. (Hear, hoar.) THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. CAVE rose to ask the Secretory of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention bad been directed to the Mes sage of the President of the United Stoma to Congress, on the 19th day of May, respecting the slave trade ; and whe ther her Majortfs government had received any recent communications from the government of the United States, or intended maki ng any fresh proposals to that government on this subject . Mr. KLNNAIRD thanked the hon. gmtleman for having introduced the question, and wished to learn from the Foreign Secretary if it were true that offers had been made by the American government to co-operate with her Majesty's government in suppressi ng the slave traffic ? Lord J. RUSSET said the question of thesis,e trade was one which must deeply interest the house and the country. He should add nothing to the statement of the hon. mem ber for Shoreham in reference to the present state of the question, the negotiations conducted by Lord Malmesbury, and the attempts which bad been made to excite the jealousy of America ea to the right of search. It was un fortunately too true that the slave trade was extensively carried on in Cuba, between 30 sad 40,000 slaves being an nually imported into the island. It was also true that it was carried on in contempt of the =sty between this country and Spain, and that at prsent the= were no efficient means for suppreseing it Thte want of efficient means arose from various causes. ems of which was, as had ;been stated by the hon. pottiness., the_ Iso l a= on the partof America of any regulations that weld iiier• with the free action of American vessel. Another canes wee the imperfection of the American law. Aa article bad been introduced by his noble friend (Lard Palmerston) into some of the treaties in reference to time slave trade ailed the equipment article, but there was so each provision in the American law. It therefore frequently happened that vessels upon the coast of Africa completely equipped for the slave trade, intending to embark MO or 300 slave. in the night-time, and fitted up for that purpose, had been seen by our cruisers under the American fag, but they were of course unable to interfere with them, and though they might point them out to the American cruises, still there was no power of interference, there being no law of the United States which would justify it. There was also another difficulty with regard to having no flag. When • British vessel appeared the slavers hoist ed the American fiag, and when an American cruiser appeared she threw away the flag and destroyed her papers, in which case the cruiser had no power to seise her, though if a Bri tish cruiser were in sight the latter would be enabled to do so. Her Majesty's government had prop osed to the govern ment of the United States that by keep ing the British and American cruisers in company off the coast of Cuba one might be prepared for • case where the Ame rican flag was hoisted, and the other for • case in which there was no flag used at all. The question was now under the (consideration of the Ame can government, and so far as it bad been considered it seemed to have been (avowable received. As yet, how ever, no promise bad been obtained from the American government to amend their law, but the statement they nade.was • very well founded one, namely, that it was not Neely that any proposition for rendering the American laws again= slavery more stringent would ever receive the sanc ta= of the congress of the United States. The question had =ligethe attention of her Majesty's government, who d in preparation • despatch upon the subject which they transmit to various governments. It was proposed to doubtless mortifying as well as shocking to feel that when we bad dope so much we were sot able to destroy altogether a traffic [which was not only repugnant to all our feelings of humanity, but was absolutely • direct infringement of treaties. (Hear, hear.) There was, however, • subject up= which be thought some good might be effected. The slave trade had hitherto been extended to China, persons laving been kidnapped and forcibly abducted from their homes by the most atrocious means. He thought that might be put a stop to, but there was • distinction between the Atrium slave trade and that with Chive. In Africa the trate had been fostered by wars and civil contests in which whale villages bad been destroyed by every kind of violence. The case with respect to China was wholly different, - Mumma as the people there were highly civilised and subject to severe laws, and the government possessed very efficient powers if they chose to exercise them. It bad been hitherto an object which had been attended wit', success to employ the agency of the Chinese govern ment in putting an end to kidnapping, and substituting • system of emigration. He trusted that by these means something would be does to eradicate the Slay* trade. When they compered what was the Pee man, years age, when 140,000 slaves left Africa in one year, with the state of circumstances in the present year, the number having been reduced to 30,000, be thought they would admit that sufficient propose had been made in the question to justify them in not abandoning all hope of ultimately obtaining the entire suppreemon of the trade. (Hear.) Mr. S. FITZGERALD reminded the noble lord that he had not answered his question in reference to the extension of time for the conversion of ad valorem duties. Lord J. RUSSELL said he had received no official infor mation npon the subject. _ ENGLISH SHIPWRIGHTS IN FRANCE. Er. B. JOHNSTONE said he wished to call the attention of the Rouse to a question of considendde !aspartame*. Sense time ago he had asked the Secretary of the Admiralty if it was tree that weal of the shipwrights of the dockyartia bad been discharged, and had all gooe over to France. The answer of the noble lord was that of he know s = the matter, but a statement bad awe in the newsmen which showed that the fact was precisely as he (Mr. Johnstone) had stated it. He believed be was quite within the mark in stating that the activity in the French dockyards was such that at the present moment there were no less than 1,200 or 1,500 of car beet dockyard artnans and shipwrights employed there. If the calamity at war between the two countries should arise, it was tree that we might have the pleasure of taking those days_ which these. men had helped to build, but still he rigmeded it as • great imiefortume that such a state of thimp should exist!' Mr. 15. OSBORNE bore testimony to the anxiety which ea this Sulstect. He with ed to ask the noble prevailed C. Paget) if he was able to contradict a state ment that had been g i ven as the reason for discharging those men from our doekyreda. The reason given, as he understood, was that there was not two yews' supply of Won in store. He also wished to ask the Secretary for Ireland what eouree he intended to take with regard to those Irish bills which had been en the paper for so long a time? (Hear, hear.) There was a bill for the registration of births, marriages, and deaths, broeght in by the government, and he believed a brill had brn brought in on 'the err subject by the noble lord opposite (Lard Era), which stood for that night also, sad there were also two Lenard and Tenant Bills. He thought, there. fan, it would be very convenient to gentlemen connected with Ireland, [(tie Secretary for Ireland would state what warm be treaded to take in respect to these bills. Lord 0. PAGET said he perfectly remembered the ques tion which the hon. member had put to him some weeks ago with regard to the discharge of airflows from her tie jesty's dockyard, and who, it was Meted, hadgone to Cher bourg to enterthe imperial dockyard there. Nowthatstatement had caused a good deal of sensation, which was not confined entirely to this side of the water. The result was that our consul at Cherbourg wrote to state that there was no truth whatever in the report of any English workmen having gone into the imperial dockyar& at Cherbourg. He stated, moreover, that it was contrary to the regulations that any I foreign artificer should work in the French dockyards ; he added also—which was a still more conclusive argument— that whereas both in private trade and tinder the system of -the royal dockyards in this country men were earning about Is. day, in the wages were about ilf. • day. It was not likely, there fore, English workmen, when there was plenty of work to be had all round the country, should go sari the water to work for 41. a day. (Hear.) Er. B. JOHNSTONE here intimated that he was perfectly imbibed with the explanations of the noble lord. Lord C. PAGET oontinned—The hon. and gallant mem ber for Brighton (Sir G. Pechell) had asked him whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to give the same eaten pay and allowanoss to th e naval forces sow in Chins as to those in India. He was afraid of sa i r n t u ny i thing which might hold out hopes which might be • ted ; but he could enure We hon. friend that the Ai ralty would act strictly according to the precedent of tits day, and would do all the justice they could to the naval tomes employed ; but he rut sot distinctly answer the question as to what tie slimmer would be.

For the three years ending 18 59 the produce of that duty was 66,0561. per year. The charge upon that duty was 890,0001. for various purposes, and would absorb the duty for the next 20 years. The tion considered this duty their own property and d ear th it as they thought proper. There was a third duty of 14., which had been relinquished by the corporation and made over to the Woods and Foresta for metropolitan improvements. The produce of that duty in 1859 was 17,076/. He thought a portion of the expenses of the embankment ought to fall we /son the imperial exchequer. The corporation had to em bank the river at their own expense from c ttersea-bridge to Blacken& The committee then adjourned. THE NAVAL FORCPS LV CHINA. Ns G. B.

Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for India whether the names of those civilians on the Benp.l establishment who were killed in action, murdered, or died from wounds and exposure during the late mutiny, between the 11th day of May and the 111th day of November, Isi7, had at any time been brought under the notice of the go vernment ; and whether he intended to do honour to their memory by the erection of a monument Colonel SYKES hoped this monument would be raised by the mead goveromeat He also asked whether the government had received any despatch by the lam mail respecting the reerganimaticia of the Indian many. CONVEYANCE OF STORES FROM CALCUTTA TO CHINA. Mr. SWIM asked the Secretary of State for ladle whether an American ship had been taken up by govern ment for the oonveyaoce of stores from Calcutta toehina ; whether eligible British ships were tendered for the same service ; and if so, whether he would state the reasons which induced the government to make such selection? THE BENGAL NATIVE ARMY. Mr. KEN NARD asked the Secretary of State for India whether it was the intention of her lgajesty's government to reward the services of those °Sorra of the Bengal Native Army whose regiments remained faithful to the British goveninient during the late mutiny? Sir WOOD then rose and said he would endeavour so far se could to answer all the questions which had been put to him in their order on the paper. The right hon. gentleman then dropped his yoke and spoke in so low a tone that his observations did not reach the gallery. He was understood to say, in answer to the question of the hon. member for Windsor (kb. Vanaittart) that it was true that the chairman of the court of directors bad aasseased the intent...in of erecting a tablet in the chapel of Hadley bury College to the memory of thecivilservants who were killed during the mutiny. Nothing could be more appropriate than such a monument in the chapel of the seminary of the civil service ; but as Haileybury had ceased to be kept up, a doubt occurred as to the intention being carried out, and when other sites were under consideration it seemed diffi cult to confine the memorial to the civil servants only. The question had then assumed much larger dimensions than when the original anoouncement was made, and nothing had been done. This occurred, however, before the change to the present form of government, and he himself had never heard of the matter till it had been mentioned to him by his bon. friend. The right hon. gentleman, in answer to the question of the hon. member for Hull (Mr. domes) said he had received no information upon the sub ject, and when an American ship or a ship of any other nation had been taken up he did not know. In reply to the question of the hon. member for Newport pdr.

"rHI AGAPLIKILL* NORTIDOII v. rkzigcs—' (Cowladed from yesterdtr's ExPrweil teute Mr. Matins, Q.C., then proceeded to reca the circumstance. of the case attending the eipulaion under Mr. Prince's orders of Mrs. 'Th on account of her pregnancy, from the lodgings in w h she and his other followers were residing at Weymouth, and of the gross circumstances of outrage attending that espial sloe, as evidencing the entire dominion of Mr. Prance over all the persons concerned in that transaction, in eluding Mies Louisa Jane Nottidge, who it was shown was one of the residenta there at the time, and appeared to approve of what Mr. P rince had ordered to be done. It wee not in evidence he admitted, but it was the general miaow, and • rumour which had reached the mother of MI. Nottidge, that the conduct of these parties was morally dis graceful, and that there was a community not merely of goods, but an entire community in all things between all the members of the Agapemone. With such d' ' in formation brought to her, could it be wondered at that Nottidge determined to adopt any measures that might withdraw her daughter from such contamination, and that the measure was adopted of sending Miss Nottidge's brother and brother-in-law, and that they adopted the only course open to them for the purpose? All entreaty having failed to alter Miss Nottidge 's determination, was it not natural that the opinion of medical men should be asked as to the sanity of mind of a lady so acting, and their opinion being distinct and clear, it was neither rash nor unjust to send her to a respectable asylum, where it might have been hoped that time and care might have restored her to a reasonable view as to the course she had determined to adopt. The defendant's counsel had insisted that Mrs. Thomas's evidence was not worthy of credit, as if the plain tiff succeeded she would be entitled to an equity to a settle ment out of a portion of the property of Louisa Jane Nottidge ; hut that was no reason - why her evidence should not be credited. On the other hand it did appear from the evidence of what had occurred that the testimony of Mr. Thomas was not worthy of credit ; but in justice to Mr. Thomas he would add that Mr. and Mrs. Thomas a to have lived happily together for the first few montr a r u e id d had it not been for Mr. Prince it was . probable that they would have continued to do so. Mr. Pr ince had sworn that he did not know of the transfer till after it had been made, but Mr. Rouse had proved that it was a part of the system of Mr. Prance not to interfere in money matters, but that when money was required from any of his followers some of his followers would go to those whose money was required, and ask whether they were in the spirit to give money to the Lord, and it was, of course, im mediately given. It had been proved that Miss Nottidge laboured under the delusion that in giving money to Prince she was giving it to the Lord, and it was Prince who had occasioned that delusion, and she had not had that inde pendent advice which a person in such a position ought to have had. With regard to the acquiescence by her friends, for • long period of time they had certainly done all they could to get her away from the influence of Prince, but harm; been foiled in that attempt they felt that efforts on thew part would be useless, and, therefore, did not further interfere with her, but let things take their course. But independently of all this, lapse of time could not confirm a transaction so tainted with fraud as the present. He therefore submitted that the plaintiff was entitled to the relief prayed by the bill, with _ _ Mr. Wigram was with Mr. Malin, Q.C., for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Soule, for the defendant. The court was rery crowded during the whole of the day. The Vice or, at the conclusion of the argumenta, said he should reserve his judgment. (Before Sir W. P. Wood.) This was • suit instituted for restraining proceedings at law upon certain bills of exchange for 16,000/. accepted by the plaintiff in pursuance of an agreement entered into by him with a If r. Leveil and other parties in 1849 in refe rence to certain estates in Belgium. It was attempted to stay the actions upon the ground that fraudulent mumps,- sentations had been made by the defendants in reference to the consideration upon which the bills were given. The case turned upon a variety of minute detail of no public nterest. _ . Mr. Holt and Mr. Cole were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Wil cock, Mr. Greene, Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. Townsend were on the other side. The Vice-Chancellor, after going through the details of the case at great length, and minutely examining the evi dence on which it was founded, came to the conclusion that the case of fraud was not established, and that the bill must be dismissed. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-RrNE 8. Sittinp in BlUNO.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Crompton, and Mr. Justice Blackburn.) EX PARTE JOSEPH BROWN, A PRISONER TN THE PETWORTH 1101:18I 07 CORRECROL Mr. T. W. Saunders moved for a rule directed to certain magistrates of the county of Sussex, calling upon them to show cause why a habeas corpus should not issue directing the bringing up of Joseph Brown, who is at present con fined in the Petworth House of Correction. It appears that some time in the course of 1867 the ap plicant joined a friendly society ; and falling sick in Marc 1859, be obtained relief out of the funds of the society, and continued to do so until the 6th of September in that year. Subsequently, but not until the 16th of April in the present year, proceedings were taken before the ma. 'taigas against B rown, under the 22nd section of the 18 and 19 Vic. c. 63 (the Friendly Societies Act), for that be obtained re lief from the society without being &filleted with illness to entitle him to it. .. . The lears7;d7ounselaOr objected that the proceedings against Brown not having been set on foot within sixmontlic of his last offence, they were void by the 11th and 12th of Vic., c. 43 (Jervis's Act) ; and, consequently, that the pri soner was entitled to his discharge. The court granted a rule nisi. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--JuNz 8. (Before Yr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN 112 NUMB BEALE.

The failure bra tam place is connexien with that of Johnson and Oilman (whose case was reported on Wednesday last), the banksupta being largely under liability for that firm. An approximate statement of affairs, prepared by Mears. Paul and Turner, accountants, shows a total liability of about 20,0001., with &meta estimated at 7,000 1 . The following creditors were chosen trade assignees : Mr. Edward Hoyland, Leadeuhall•street ; Mr. Wm. Thew, leather factor, Bury-street, Si. Mary-axe ; and Mr. Chas.

COMMISSIONER MURPHY.—The learned commissioner was unable to take hie seat to-day, and all his nem were referred to the Chief Commissioner, whose court was, with his own ores and those of Mr. Commissioner morphy; cis veniently crowded. Some of the latter cases were heard and others adjourned to suit the con venience of parties.

BOWYER said the home was no doubt aware that very great ind extensive disconteed existed at present in the Post-Aloe. He was informed that a committee had been appointed by that department itself for the pupae of in quiring into the grievances of the 'eremite of the estab lishment ; but owing to some difficulties as to the power of the committee two of the members had resigned, and the committee became for a time paralysed. He was told that rime that time two gentlemen from the Treasury had been added to the committee, which then resumed its labours ; but some of the officials at the Post-office had no confidence in the committee, and they declined going before it. Since then a public meeting of the penman who complained of grievances had been held, at which some strong language was used, and he was informed that 44 persons who took part in that meeting had been since sus eoded. lie wished therefore to ask the Secretary to the Ir m wry whether it was true that those men had been suspended for exercising the constitutional privilegeof meeting to petition that house, and whether the government would take their case into consideration. — Mr. LAING was afraid be could hardly give the hon. gentleman a specific answer, not having had notice of his intention to put the qrstio. It was true, however, that • committee of superior officers of the P oet-office was ap pointed some time ago, and some difficulty arose with regard to the instructions given to the committee, and some of them resigned. In that state of things, before Lord Elgin left for China, the committee was reconstituted with full power to make an accurate inquiry. One of the members of the committee was Mr. Stephens, of the Treasury, a gentleman who was well known to hon. members of that hones who had sat upon oommittees. That committee had been very actively engaged in their inquiry ! and had taken the pains to go totbe Post-office at 4 o'clock in the morning, in order to see with their own eyes, and every opportunity had been given to the men to state their grievances. He believed it would be found not to be true that they had ro confi dence in the committee of superior officers. He could sn eerer for it that this commission would be a thoroughly searching and impartial one. He thought the house mart see that under these circumstances, where there was a large number of men working together, it was necessary that discipline should be enforced (hear)—and if any of the men should hold public meetings for the purpose of preventing their fellow workmen from coming forward to state their grievances before the com mittee it might be necessary for the department to mark their sense of that conduct by suspension. He was not aware that that was done, but he thought it probable, if the facts were as represented, such a course might be necessary. He hoped, however, that the report of the commission would be very shor tly ready to be sub mitted to the house, and it would then be seen whether the remedies which the government might think fit to adopt would be sufficient to meet the grievances complained of if not it would be open for any hon. member to move in the matter. (Hear.) The motion for adjournment to Monday was then agreed to. EAST INDIA.-DISARMING NATIVES. Mr. H. BAILLIE moved an address for copies of all oorrospondence with the several governments of India re garding the disarming of the natives, together with any minutes and opinions recorded by members of the late board of directors previously to the transfer of the Indian govern ments to her Majesty, and subsequently of the Council of India, having reference to the same subject.

ELPHINSTON E rose to move for leave to bring in a bill to establish a test for anchors and chain cables for the merchant service, when An Hon. Meseta moved that the house be counted. There beingonly 38 members present, the house adjourned at 10 minutes to 9 o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. OF THZ THAMES. The select committee appointed to inquire into the best means of providing for the increased traffic of the metropolis by the embankment of the Thames, re-aasembled yesterday, Sir J. PAXTON in the chair. Kr. JONATHAN THORPE, common councilman and chair man of the Thames Conservancy Board, on behalf of the conservators, explained the jurisdiction of the conservators and the various improvements which they were now carry ing out. The conservators were strongly favourable to the embankment of the Thome*, provided it were not carried so far into the river as to interfere with the tidal water. Mr. Roupell—What is the nature of the river improve ment you are carrying out! Mr. 'Thorpe—We are dredging the entrance to some new docks and have the dredgers employed opposite Lambeth Palace, and at Staines Lock and Twickenham. We have re cently placed a portion of the shore opposite Lambeth Palace upon an incline. The work was simply done as an experiment to fill up some mud holes, and try whether it would have the effect of preventing the accumulation of mud on the foreshore. The result has been perfectly seta factory. By lard J. Manners—The river between Vauxhall and Chelsea-bridge has been embanked on the Middlesex side but not on the other side. By narrowing the bed of the river a greater scour would be given. The conservators would not object to an embankment sufficiently wide to carry a road 100 feet in width. By Mr. Walter—Such a line would leave a portion of the bed of the river uncovered at low water. He would not state at present what line the conservators would prefer. Captain Batista', R.N., was the next witness. He said lie was secretary to the Thames Conservancy Board, and had been intimately acquainted with the river since 1832. He had been employed upon many of the Admiralty sur veys, and had been engaged in ascertaining what change had taken place with reference to the foundations of West miester-Wvigo. There had been a general deepening of the river above London-bridge, and a lowering of the water surface of the river. He had established a series of obeer vatimw for the purpose of ascertaining whether the high water level attained the same height at various places between London-bridge and Woolwich, and the result was that the tideway reached the same height at all places. All the observations be had made went to show that the velocity of the stream varied with the sectional area. The Chairman—Have you ever directed your attention to the pt iety of embanking the Thames! Captain Bnn4l replied that be had, and that he did not Welt it would affect the rise of the tide. Whether it would be for the advantage of the river must depend upon the de scsiption of embankment, and how far it projected into the river. If sufficient room were allowed for the ordinary waterside traffic, he did not think it would be objectionable, but should not like to give any opinion in the absence of plane. In any scheme. as much tidal water as possible should be reserved. He did not think any harm would be does to the wharfingers if suffloient space were allotted to them outside the embankment. If sufficient space were provided for them within the embankment, they would be more safe than they were at present. Ile had no doubt that if the embankment were made sufficiently wide, the traffic of the Strand and Fleet-street would be greatly relieved. If the river were oontraeted by an em bankment, the tide would run at the rate of about three miles an hour. There would be no occasion for • solid embankment ; but if the mud were allowed to accumulate in as open erukonkment, it might become very offensive. A solid embankment, with sufficient accommodation for the waterside traffic, would be the best. Kr. Scott, chamberlain to the City, was then examined. He stated that the produce of the cool duty in 1857, after allowing the drawback, was 128,1488/. ; in 1858 it was 131,650/. ; in 1859 it was 135,3881. There had been a steady increase since the duty was first levied. The charge. upon the duty were 30,188/. for improvements at the Wastand ; 88,00 W. for improvements in Clerks:amen ; and 35,000/. for tie Metropolitan Board of Works in relation to improvements in Caveat-garden. In Nay, 1861, the Bd. duty would be hen treat charge, sad the duty would erase unless parliament placed some fresh charges upon it. There was some doubt whether 4d. out of thud would not he continued, Mao. much as it was imposed by the act of William and Mary for ever. Since the ditty imposed_ been levied very large BUMP bad MARKET& SUGAR.—The average pm* of brown or Muscovado sugar, the produce of the British Possessions in America, for the week ending June 5, is 25e. 8141. per cwt., inclu sive of the duties of customs polder payable thereon.—The average price of brown or Muscovado sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, computed as above, is 30s. 7id.—No re. turn has been made d the pries of brown or Muscovado sugar, the produce d the Bast Indies—The average price of the two foregoing cleseriptions of sugar, computed as above, and exclusive of duty, is 275.

Itaisrot, June B.—The market has been freely supplied with samples of West India, and where importers have been wilhng to meet the buyers in price, business has resulted to a fair extent ; but we quote a further decline of tkl. to Is. per cwk,both for landed parcels and floating cargoes, in which latter some three or four have also been dispo sed of. Itefiners' produce sells to a fair extent, at rather easier prices. Rum continues dull, and some descriptions are lower in value. COTTON.—Livartroox, Jura B.—The market continues in the lame irregular and depressed state ; and, although the necessities of spinners have compelled them to come In to a somewhat larger extent, little relief is given to holders, in consequence of the large supply offering, and prices must be again quoted at gd. decline in most descriptions of American. Brasil is steady, but Egyptian is offering on rather easier terms.

To-day's business will be shoat 7,000 hales, including 1,500 on speculation and for export, without any improvement. (NYITON GOODS.—MANCHESTER, Just B.—This morn ing, as on Tuesday, these were offers for India fabrics, but generally at prices too low for acceptance, and they have not led to much business. Some sales have been made in long cloths, T cloths, and domestics, but at rather lower rates, and the tendency of prices is still in favour of buyers. Printing cloths being still low in stock, and many makers engaged, the value of these goods has undergone less change than most descriptions of cloth. For 36-inch shirtings there is a little business at rather lower rates. Info kind of cloths is there so little doing and so much depression as in India goods, but the aggregate business done in all kinds has been inconsiderable. The yarn market continues ex ceedingly quiet, and prices are irregular. Some few sales have been made at very low rates, whilst some numbers and qualities maintain their value rather better. There is hardly business enough offering in any description to test prices very fully. WOOL—BRADFORD, JUNE 7.—The assortment of wool offering to-day is by no means good, and prices continue firm. All parties are perplexed by the high rates current for wooL Consumers allege that they are losers by the business they transact ; but relying upon the ex perience of former years, that wool has not maintained its present high value for any long period, they calculate that it must speedily fall, and therefore they buy what is suffi cient to keep their machinery going and their workpeople together. On the other hand dealers affirm that they cannot replace their stocks at the prices curaint in the market, and they see no prospect of any abatement in value. The conrequenoe of this state of feeling is, that we hear in some quarters the market has been very fiat—nothing doing ; and in others that a good many sales have been effected. Nola anti brakes are firm. There is an average attendance of merchants In the piece market, bat the greatest caution is ohaervable in any purchases made. Where goods are really wanted, manufacturers are getting an advance in price ; but this feature is very circumscribed. Merchants who have stocks on hand will not give the advance sought for. Manufac turers are i already acting on the defensive, and stopping their looms. There s a disposition on the part of shippers to increase the amount of business in yarn., but this is checked by the high prices. Spinners are asking an advance to cover the serious enhancement in the price of wool, which, however, they cannot get in many case., and hence transac tions are leas numerous than would otherwise be the case. CORN.—CRILYRFORD, Jests B.—There was a small sup ply again of wheat at market, with a brisk demand, and farmers would not sell except at an advance of 2s. or Is,, which buyers were compelled to give. The weather during the past week has been cold and ungenial, with much wet which is very pprejudicial to the crops, and they continue to be worse repart d . Beans a mall show and la. dearer.
