In 1800 the number of male persons between those ago. was 1.900.000, and in 1818 it was 2.320.000. The estimated number now between the ages of 18 and 30 was 2;41.251.

He mid the object et the bill wee to afford faalittes to volunteer °peps throughout the country to obtain practice pounds. The bill was introduced in the Other house by a private member, and it appeared to her Majesty's government that it was a bill which their lordship would .lo well to give their median to, and it we. a matter of real tupecv. It we. quite unnecessary that be .bould remind their lordships of the public spirit and patriotism with which the young men of the country bad come forward is aid of the volunteer movement. Thev had seen in the me tropolis a proof of the discipline to which the various corm in this country bed attained, and hr had no doubt that the review which her Majesty would hold at Edinburgh this would show that the corm in Scotland were equally effi....at. It was essential, however, to the success of the movement that the rifierom should be good theta. To this end they eh oeld practise onetinually, and they could only do th,. havMg geed pactice.gruunds. Conaiderable colts had bees experimiesd in Tarim. parte of the country in rnquirlog pounds. This bill when it was first introduced ntained cougaia, hut that clause had keen struck out. however, gave facilities for obtaining the object in view, and he therefore trusted that their lord. ships would epee to the resolution. Earl SPENCER remarked that the pod of the rifle amps movement depended on its permanence, arid be thought that there were many elements of permanence in it. Drill eras .roe of those elements and society another, but the mildest charm of all in volunteering wee rifle shooting. RMe shooting was highly popular in Switeedand, in America, and in Germany, sad he saw no reason why it should not become equally popular in The resolution was thee speed to, =nd the bill was read • second time.

KELLY rose to move that the resolution be re iniennitted as to the duty upon the importation of foreign malt. His motion was necessarily formal in its terms, but Y substance at was • proposal that the duty on foreign malt should be 266. instead of 255. par quarter. This might ISM a small matter, but it was really a matter of great import ance to the raltsters and manufacturers of malt in this eratry. In Recce malt was only made by brewers tar the purpose of their business, and was not manufactured as • separate branch of trade. The question which be sub mitted to the house was, whether it was sufficient or or latent with the principle laid down last night with respect to the . paper duties, to add 4a. per quarter to the e excise duty on malt, or whether, in order to do j ustice to the manufacturer of malt in this country, it was not absolutely necessary to put another shilling to that mon so as to make the duty Ns. From his communieriam with maltstees in all parts of the country he arrived at the conclusion that the avenge ta per of manufacturing malt here was 4s. per mosirter, to which had to be added 2a 801, the coat of cm:milder to market. The price of barley being 425., it followed that the cost of malt would be 21. Bs. Bd. per quarter. Now in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and the north of Germany, the price of barley was 2s. lees, or 40s. per quarter, and the difference in the colt of manufacture prodigious. In no case did the cost of manufacture exceed 2a per quarter, and as the expense of conveyance did not amount to more than Is. 61, foreign malt might be brought into this kingdom at 42e. 6d. per quarter, making • difference of Is. in favour of foreign and against British manufacture. That fact alone ought to induce her Majesty's government to deal with the question, even if there should be doubt as to what surtax should be added. He wished, also, to call the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to further ad vantages poreased by the importer of foreign melt. If he did not olltein on immediate maraca, ciao forei g n importer might keep his malt in bead in this country for three, six, IF, or even twelve months, waiti n g f or • favourable op unity to dispose of it, and only paying the duty when • had received the price. On the other han d , the manu facturer here had to pay the duty three, four, five, or six months before he could sell his malt. The foreign manufacturer might sell his malt on the spot, transmit it to a distance, or export it at his pleasure without expense, duty, or restriction, while the British ma nufacturer was exposed to • series of difficulties, which, If not absolutely involving the expenditure of money, in volved money's worth, azel, really added to the pecuniary cost of the malt. One inconvenience was that the duty in this country was for the most part paid long before the malt was sold, inasmuch as it could only be manufactured during the winter menthe ' from November to April, and it was necessary to pay the duty by the 30th of 'kne lt was not the loss of interestXdone of which the British malt star complained, but the still greater loss entailed by the want of capital in trade. Other inconveniences were also sus tained, which had the effect of raising the actual or of the malt fully 4s. per quarter. He earnestly appealed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider the position in which the British enlister was placed, and .to afford him all the relief in his power. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said three ware one or two point, in the speech of his boo. sad learned friend which he did not entirely understood The hon. and learned gentleman bad made • make* appeal to the house in the interest of the poor man as the universal consumer of beer, but i enough, from the interest tithe poor man as the t= wormer of beer, he drew an argument that it was MOW essay to raise the price of foreign malt so that id hio llit eam pete it ever could compete, with that the British manufa:turer. laugh.) The and herald gentleman also said that the question was totally unim portant to the midterm not only .4 France, but of all other countries abroad ; but he added that it was a question of vital importance to the British malt. eters. Now he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) could not see how the matter could be unimportant to the =Haters abroad, unless the importations were few or oone, and if few or none it would require all the ingenuity of the hon. and learned gentleman to show how the interests of the British manufacturer could be affected. With ft.t to the French treaty, the mute tion was • very simple one. He spprehended that the article of malt was distinctly within the commercial treaty, but at the same time it was entirely open to the hour to discuss the question raised by the hon. and learned gentle man, provided that they discussed it in reference to that addition oak which was p ro per to be mails in the excise duty. He believed that t e maitre', of this country were of opinion that in this trade they bad nrhiag whatever to dread from foreign competition, and it would be • delusion if be were to hold out any expectation of large supplies of malt being derived from abroad. (Hear.) What the house were called upon to do was rather to satiety the dictates of equity and justice than to provide for any new and considerable trade. He believed that the malt/item generally were perfectly satisfied with the arrangement which the government had made, and the com parative indifference with which they regarded this parti cular vote was a proof thst no alarm was felt. (Hear, hear.) A part of the speech of his hon. and learned friend had been founded upon an entirely erroneous basis. The hon. and learned gentleman entered into a computation of the price at which the British maltster could bring his malt to market, and then into a computation of the price at which the foreign maltster could bring his, and he left the house to draw the °occlusion that the difference of fia a quarter, which his calculations appeared to exhibit, was • differear which ought to be made good. But surely that would be simply a return to protection in • pure and unlaidgeherl form. (Hear, hear.) The house had nothing whatever le do with the price at which the foreign manufacturer could get his barley, or the cost of carriage, except within the narrow view to which they were confined by the treaty-- namely, whet portion of the charges on the British mum facturerare due to the imposition of an excise duty. The hon. and learned gentleman hail endeavoured to show that the foreigner, who was out of the country, could bring his malt to market in this country for Is. per quarter Les than the English manufacturer. Now he (the Chancellor 44 the Exchequer) bed thought that England was celebrated for its improved communication, and it was certainly 'a dismal result to find that Englishmen Grid only take their malt fora short distance at a cost of 2s. IL per quarter, while the foreigner could cover the expense of shipping and port-charger, and deliver his malt in the mar ket at a cost of Is. 6.1. per quarter. (Laughter.) Ile de precated the further prosecution of this discussion, and thought that if the government had committed any mistake it was in allowing a larger amount of surtax than the British manufacturer was entitled to claim. In point of fact, if they had been dealing with the French government in the case of malt, as in the case of spirits, they could not . have proposed so large a surtax. Without further going into the details he thought he bed proved enough to leadly the government in dealing largely and liberally in the ease, that they bad made arrangements which were more favourable to the British maltster than otherwise, and that they could not consent to make any further alteration in the duty. Major W. PARSER said the British farmer was not satisfied with the present state of things, for it Inverted him from using malt in fattening his cattle, and thus he ' wee not allowed to compete with the foreigners. He be lieved that no lees than 400 petitions had been presented this aesion against the arrangements made under the treaty of Free in reeard to the wine duties. The farmers complained that some reduction or consideration had not been made or shown towards them as malt growers, pro ! &mere, and coneumers. The men who toiled from morning to night were three whom the house ought first to consider, and or these who dined well and drank wine. (Hear, hear.) He felt that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was hardly prepared to abolish the duty on malt, but he might tell him that the days of that duty were numbered. (Hair.) Mr. BASS said it would Dot be very difficult to show that ovalsten, brewers, and growers of barley had received hard measure from the Chancellor of the F.:Chequer. The right hon. gentleman had raised the duty on malt and lowered it on wire, and to him the increase made a difference of no less than 1,8001. a year. (Hear, hear.) He complained that Mr. Cobden had not even mentioned that to the French government, although the latter would have been most willies to make concessions in return for the remission on wine. With respect to the mein question he would state a few facts. The price of barley was 33a. a quarter, end the duty was 28a. The foreigner paid no duty, so that he could do as much brines with 3,3001. as the English maltster with 1,50 W. Five per cent. wee no compensation, as any tradesman would glaellygive more thin five per cent. for money. The result of the, duty would be that British mohair, would go sad establish malt-houses in Hamburg and in thiee parts of France where they grew the fin/barley. As to the credit given, be (Mr. Bus) was making malt which he should not me until December, whilst he would have to pay the duty in six weeks. They would never have dealt fairly with the Ebel& insister until they allowed him to malt: the barley is bond. His fear was that • great deal of our malting would be transferred to the continent. It might not perhaps make much difference to him, but still he sheet,' prefer to lave his malt made 41 this country. The house divided : For the anseadment 49 Against it..

The practice in the trade WAS to employ some printer to manufacture labels, all of which were sent to the proprietors, who supplied them on the per. sone application of their customers, and when so supplied it was usual to state at the bottom of the label by whom the beer was bottled. In March last the plaintiffs disco vered that beer not manufactured by them had been sup plied in some of their genuine bottles, which had been washed and the beer bad been tested by Dr. Hoffman, who found that it was much weaker, and did not contain near so much sulphate of lime as the genuine beer manufactured with Burton water.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries to have been sustained through the negligence of the en dents' servants. Mx Hawkins Q.C., Mr. Prentice, and Mr. Patchett ap peared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. G. Den man were for the defendants. This action arose out of an accident that took plans to the mail train on the morning of the let of March last at Rugby. .I:l3 .. nslaintiff was in the service of the Poet -office as mail and he received somewhat severe injuries by the col 'on. The defendants admitted their liability, and the only question was the amount of damage. After one or two witnesses had been examined, the parties came to an arrangement, and a verdict was returned fur the plaintiff, with 315/. damages. WALLACR r. TIAN LONDON AND NORTH WY-STERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Prentice, and Mr. Patchett were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bevil!, Q.C., end Mr. Denman for the defendants. _ 1n tai atet;;Lioenarrangemen t was made, and the same cause wee taken in " Bennett v. the London and North Waders Railway," both the latter came arising out of tho some occident. The plaintiff in this action was a young woman named Rosanna Dupes Frey, and she sought to recover damage. front the defendant, who is an Wormy, for having negli gently conducted an action she had brought against Lord sod Lady Zetland and consented to an arrangement to stay that action without her consent. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff had no ground of action against Lord and Lady Zetland, and also that he had acted reasonably and laudably as her attorney in the matter. XL Kennedy and Mr. Robinson were counsel for the plaintiff ; Serjeant Parry, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Jones Levi aPgrtfor the defendant. aeta connected with this matter have been so very frequently before the public that it will not be necessary to do more than to briefly allude to them on the present °cession. It will be remembered that the plaintiff, who is • respectable young woman, went into the service of Lady Zeeland in June, 1854, as head lady's-maid, and that disc greemeuta took place in the family, and that she was sud denly discharged from her situation in the month of August following. She then applied to Mr. Greenwood, a molicitor, who was acquainted with her family, and be entered into com munication with the solicitor of Lori Zetlaud upon the sub ject of the treatment she bad received, and subsequently another solicitor named Wilson, to whom the present de fendant was clerk, was applied to, and eventually the plaintiff's case was placed in the hands of Mr. Voules, and he brought two actions, one against Mrs. Potter, the house keeper of the Earl of Zeeland. for defamation of character, and another against Lord and Lady Zeeland for detaining clothes and trinkets, and money, the property of the plaintiff. The fi rst action was tried and resulted in the jury giving the plaintiff a verdict with 1001. damages. This verdict, however, was set aside and • new trial was granted, and while these roceedings were pending the other action was coming on for triaL The case on the part of the plaintiff was that the defendant, who was then acting as her solicitor, had, without her consent, come to an arrange ment with Lord Zeeland, by which a sum of 3001. was paid to him to settle the actions against Lord and Lady Zeeland, 2501. of which was to be received by Mr.. Vallee as costa, and the plaintiff was to receive the remaining 501. That sum was paid to her, and she signed what she imagined to be • receipt, but which document turned out to be a ry note for 501., and she wee afterwards sued by fir . Voules upon that note, but the jury found • verdict i ln bar favour. She then, it appeared, brought an action against Mr. Voules for negligence, in which she was de feated ; and after this she brought an action against Mr. Foster, the solicitor who conducted her case against Mr. Voules, of the same kind, which was tried at the Croydon, Assizes last year, and resulted in her being nonouited. The present action, as above stated, was brought against Mr. Voules for having settled the original action without his consent. The plaintiff, it will be remembered, was subse quently taken in execution for coots, and was for a consi derable time in Whitecrou-street Prison. The plaintiff, Romans. Frey, was examined at consi derable length, and she detailed all the facts above nar rated, and declared that the believed, when the proportion warn made respecting the 300/., that it solely applied to the action spinet Mrs. Potter, and that she never had the slightest intention of settling the action against Lord and Lady Zeeland, as she considered it was absolutely necessary for the vindication of her character, which was the principal object she bad in view that this action should be pro ce eded with. At seven o'clock on Monday evening the case was adjourned. A ucuer 7. The trial of " Frey v. Voules" was proceeded with this morning. The plaintiff was cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Parry at gnsat length. Serjeant Parry said he was very anxious to all Mr. Vendee as a witness, but he wee suffering from a severe attack of the gout, and he wished the trial might be post poned for two or three days. The Lord Chief Justice said be thought it was very essential that Mr. Voules should be examined, and he saw DO objection to the use standing over for two or three days, when, possibly, Mr. Voules might be able to be present. He thought, however, that the defendant ought to pay the extra cost ineurrred by the plaintiff through the del" This course was seceded to, and the further proceedings in the cause were eonsequently postponed. THE POLICE COURTS. YABLBOROUGH-STREET. Viscount Royalism, M.P. for Tamworth, waited on Mr. Tyrwhitt on the representation of Mr. Samuel Warren, master tailor, residing at No. 9, Tiebborneetreet, Piccadilly, to complain of alleged gross ill.treatment to a young servant girl in the service of a lodger in the house of the latter, and who, since the last assault on her on Sunday last, had sud denly, and, as it seemed, mysteriously been got out of the way. The defendant gave his name Edward Byrne, and was described as a "ladies' dressmaker," residing with his wife at 9, Tichbornestreet. Viscount Raynham was accommodated with a seat on the bench side of the court, and to, k notes of the evidence. Mr. Lived. Lewis, 9, Marlborough.street, appeared on behalf of the defendant. The filet witness called was • little girl named Ellen Wing, of 2, Great St. Andrew-street, St. Martin's.lane, work-girl to the defendant, who saia —The defendant and his wile occupy the second floor and a room on the third door. I have been a day or two over a fortnight in their employ. Hannah James, their servant, I think, was about 19 years of age. I never sew her beaten ; but Mrs. Byrne • • .* .11 , • r 8, 1860. (defendant's wife) found some live eeenteres (vermin) on the children, and discharged her laundress ; then on Sunday found out it was Hannah dames who was dirty, for she saw the things on her person, and told Mr. Byrne, who wiled Hannah down and told her about it. It was at half Idiot 11 o'clock, and she denied it, and then be " hit her serum the hand." I was in the rune rum, end don't think he hurt her much, but she screamed out—this was because she told a story. After some further evidence, A respectable woman stepped forward, and 0400 into the box, said the defendant previously had raided la her house in Sherrardatreet, and there the same OH was con tinually being beaten frightfully with saucepans, shovels, and all sorts of things, and that for three nsonths. The defendant's treatment to her was shameful in the extreme. Mr. Lewis, for the defendant, mid the defendant was some time ago in Wales, met with the parents of the girl, out agreed with them to receive her in London as a ser vant. Her habits had been found to be uncleanly, and he had been compelled to communicate the fact to her father, hence the reply which had been put in. These habits being now found incurable he had sent her with some Ingpge home to her parents again. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall adjourn the case till next Thurs day week, allowing time for the appearanoe of the girl ; if adequate compensation for the assault in the judgment of the parents and the girl's friends is not sooner made, and I shall require the defendant to find bail for his re-appeez *nee to the charge. .s Sir Charles Douglas, Y.P. for Banbury attended at this court to prosecute a complaint against William Davis, a cab driver, for neglecting to deliver to him a ticket. Defendant pleaded guilty. Sir Charles said that on the evening of the 31st ult. he hired defendant in Piccadilly, opposite St. Jamee's Church, andwasdriven to Hanover-square, thence toDuke-street and the Howe of Commons, where upon alighting he placed Is. 6d. on the roof of the cab in payment of the fare. De fondant followed him and said that was not sufficient, as he had driven more than two miles, and was entitled to some thing for time, as be had waited for him more than fifteen minutes. Complainant denied this, when de fendant demanded hie card. Complainant did not com ply with the request, but said he must trouble defendant for hie !Loire*, Imkoreupoe defoneleaM handed hire wem ceedingly dirty one. In order to guard himself against any trickery on the part of the cabman, Sir Charles compared the ticket given him by defendant with the number on the cab, when he found they did not correspond. Having taken the number from the cab, Sir Charles held some silver out to defendant, and told him to take his fare, upon which de fendant observed, " I don't want your money, now, and and drove o ff . Sir Charles begged to swore the magistra te that he had instituted this complaint entirely upon public grounds as but for his comparing the ticket with the num ber on the cab, the person to whom the ticket related might have been put to serious inconvenience. Defendant in reply to the charge said that he was a pro- prietor, and the ticket he had given related to his own cab, although not the one in which complainant rode ; that he was about to purchase it of a man named Long, and bad it out for a day's trial when he took the complainant ; he never thought of asking Long for a ticket relating to his cab, as he was not asked for a ticket once a month. Mr. Arnold observed that he also had a duty to the public to perform ; the very object of these tickets was to secure a facility to the public of proceeding with any complaint against the driver, and taking - defendant's own statement to be correct he had acted with gross carelessness. Defendant was then fined 10a. and costa. SPORTING. RIPON RACES—TrzsDAy. Crrr Puri. Eldolan Prologue Touole Nine ran. NORNKRY HANDICAP. allverhalr Crusade Fourteen ran. Mutual? l'irrs.

At our market' this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, and having scarcely anything fresh in since Saturday this circumstance, combined with the unsettled state of the weather , created great firmuess in the trade, and prices were realised which were not obtainable on Saturday.
