The law of Englan is d this very difficult matter bad always re garded thew Molar+ as evil% though there were 6-rrat ffiflkulties iu auppremihg them altogether.

PROTECTION OF FEMALE CHILDREN. Th. Bishop of OXFORD then moved the second reading of this bill. 'nicest...tins law gave protection to young girls, And made their +eduction between the ages of ten uoil twelve misdemeanour. He pmposeil by this bill to extend the a.e for one year, an as to give the protection of the law to girls from ten to thirte-n ye..rs of age. By the old law of Eng. Land a girl of that age was considered marriageable : and therefore it seemed something of a contradiction in this bill in extetelin4 the protection to reach that age. This evil practically was a very great one. It was just at that age that girls were woit forth from union workhouse, and other places, wire they were still perfectly ignorant ri that to which they might be tempted, or of the life that 11.01 d lie before them. He thought the law would there fore do well to extend its protection to them, as female Andres, until they arrived at the age when they would be It to ha eat free from it. Lord GRAN WORTH felt that such cases has bad been alludes' to by his right rev. friend were indeed very deplor- Ale, but his &sisal whether they could fix any age at which there might sot lie some awes from which the same argsunent riii4ht be ilriwn. It appeared to him extremely &nimble to avoid these ibscussious on a subject which was extremely uaplemant. After a few words from Lord DENMAN. Earl GRANVILLE said he agreed with the noble and learned lord that this discussion was both undesirable ail unneceseary, and he would, therefore, move that the bill he read a second time that day six months. Their lordships then divided, when there were for the amendment 4S, against TT, sad the bill was consoquently lust. THE CARE OF MR. TIIINBULL.

Mr. V. stir LLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether her Majesty's gmeramest cootemplated introducing a bankruptcy anal ineolvency bill for Ireland, similar to their Euglish measure. The hoe. member also caked the Chief Secretary for Ireland. bad his attention been directed to the judgment delivered last blichsteluim Term by the Irish (Mutt of toomion Pleas in the case of Dareys, minors, or to the proceedings in the rise of Thelwall against Yelyerton, D om pending in that court ; and does the Chief Secretary intend, either by a selorste hill, or by an amendment of his hill for the re,rictratb'e of births, death., and marriages io Iribid, to propose any repeal or slteratiou of those enact• melts which render void a marriage celebrated by a catholic priest, arid render it felony in the officiating clergyman? HOWELL said that, by an act passed *into yeas since, the iankruptey sad insolvency courts in Ireland had been consolidate so that in that particular no alteration in the law w. 'ILI be required. With regard to other altera tions in the law, when the house hail easetiosed th ese . Images in England, it would then be his duty to consult Cie Attornee•tleneral for Ireland as to the expediency of extending them to Ireland. With regard to the question of mixed marriages in Ireland, his attention had been called to the cases mentioned by has hon. fnend. No doubt gmit iteouveuience arose front the present date of the law, and he was no advocate for an• state of the law which shouhl place the Homan catholic clergy under any peculiar dimbilities. Ills hon. fnend most, however, re member that in tat& when an act was passed to regulate marriages to Ireland, Roman catholic, were in deference to their own feelings exempted from the operation of that act, and therefore remained liable to the penalties attached to the illegal celebration of mixed marriages. To alter the law of 'marriage would be to open a widerqueetion than that to which his hoe. friend had directed his attention. He had been most anxious to separate the marring., question from the rezistratios of births, deaths, awl marriages, and hoped shortly to introduce a bill p►eserving the distinction. ARMSTRON9 - Valor t; AVIS asked the Under Secretary of State for War to place on the table of the honer a copy of the report made by the otticer commanding the artillery, as to the eecteacy of the Armstroog guns in the recent operations in (bins. _ _ Mr. T.G. did not thiolc the reports of sufficient bffiewtswer for perhamentary duseuesion, but would be hippy to *bow them to the boo. and gallant member.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1861. CAVALRY FORAGE DEDUCTIONS. ......—... ..... ..... _ _ Mr. fIEIERTH rose to move that this house will, to morrow, resoles itself into a committee, to consider of an humble address to he presented to her Majesty, praying that she wi ll be gr....ionsly pleased to give directions that the stoppahe from the !me of cavalry and artillery officers for forage be discontinued. Captain .1 Ell Vls seconded the motion. 3:1. T. G. BARING, after some explanations on the s ubj. : a. said that the price of the cavalry commission had been reduce.] in consequence of the forage and other ex penses of the officers. The house should wait until the new system had been tried before expressing an opinion. colonel DICKAON said that the charge bore most un- Liirlv upon the cavalry officers, especially on the cadets. I'..doissd DUN NElikewise supported the motion. )!r. F. I'EEL said that a. the cavalry commissions had bean reduced in price, awl purchased subject to this charge, the government would not be warranted in throwing it on the public. After souse remarks from Calomel KNOX, the house divided. 7L• sootiest was neptived by 213 to 56. RECOVERY OF DEBT& ..... Mr. HODGKINSON moved for leave to bring in a bill to prevent frivolous sod vexatioas defeat= to actions for the recovery of debts. He said it was desirable that the law should be simplified, so that while the debtor should be protected from injustice and extorti. n, toe creditor should be protected from frivolous and vexatious defences put forward by dishonest and unscrupulous debtors. The boIACITuIt.GENERAL said it was nut his inten tion to oppose the iutniluction of the bill ; indeed be quite admitted that if the bill could be framed so as to avoid the difficulties that would arise in carrying it oat, it would be a cousiderible step in the right direction, aede great improve ment of the law of debtor and creditce. At the same time he thought there would be great difficulty in applying the act to limited and unaettled claims. The question on an action on a bill of exchange wax necessarily merely a question of signature. The amount of the debt was stated on the iustruoient ; but where the action was for wages, or goods sold and delivered, a variety of question might arise, same of them more or law complicated, which would probably be found to interpo-e considerable difficulties in the application of the bill. The hoc]. gentleman had also omitted to state that as the law existed considerable impediments were thrown iti the way of frivolous and vexatious defences, because if a debtor hail to go through the Insolvent Court such a defence was male the ground of a seutence of a longer imprisonment, and in the Haakruptcy Court of the suspension of certificate. At the same time the debtor might not be brought to either of these courts, and he quite agreed that the object of the bill was an excellent one. LenTewasii;;Tii;;;ln bring in the bill. SLAVE TRADE._ I I Mr. CAVE moved the following resolutions : '' That the means hitherto employed by this country for , the suppression of the African slave trade have failed to :secomalish that object. " That this failure has mainly arisen from our having endesvuured, almost exclusively, to prevent the supply of sieves, instead of to check the de mand for them. " That the true remedy is not to be found in countenanc ing immigration into these countries where slavery exists, but is augmenting the working population of those in which sta. err has been abolished. That, therefore, while repressive measure' should be continued, and even rendered more effective, every possible encouragement and assistance should be given to the intro duetioe of free immigrants, and especially of settlers from China, into the British West India colonies." The hon. member ar meil that the fi rst and fundamental re solution was easy orproof ; and he referred to evidence of tie. number of slaves imported into Cuba in defiance of the , 1 African squadrous. He insisted upon the ine ffi ciency of the remedies hitherto employed, and of various plans projected for the extinction of the trade. He then showed the large resources to be found for the 'apply of free labourers- - cas.lies and free nerves ; and urged that the surplus colo- Mal capital, and even the sums expended upon systems of prevention, might be advantageously applied to the amour. *gement of free immigration into our West India colonies. Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the measures employed for the suppression of the slave trade had not been so ineffectual as Mr. Cave supposed ; that the trade had been interfered with to • considerable extent. He pointed out the obstacles interpose.' by the absence of any public feeling against slavery or the slave trade in other countries ; by the enormous profits of the trade, which had encouraged large associations at the Havannah for carrying it on ; and by the fact that slave vessels were coveted by the American flag, the government of the United States refusing to allow the right of search and to concur in other measures for the suppres sion of the trade. Al to the encouragement of free IMEIII. gratis. into our own colonies, he agreed with Mr. Cave that when slavery was abolished, it should have been our policy to favour the introduction of free labourers. But, when it was proposed to introduce them into the Mauritius, the Louse was adverse to the propose], on the pared that it would lied to another kind of slave trade. Their intro duction had, however, bees • great success in the Mauritius, and be should be happy to see their immigration into our West India colonies. It must be loft to the Secretary of State for the Colonies to frame plans fur this object, her Majesty's gov e rnm e nt being fully aware of the advantage attending it, and con vinced that the abuses which had prevailed is the system at first might be warded off. The government were not, there fore, au principle, opposed to the object Mr. Cave had in view ; hut, as he slid not see the weeded advantage of "X!aihis resolution, be moved the previous question. r IIXTON offered various suggestions for the sup melee of the slave toads on the African coast._ Lora A. CHURCHILL. among the maw for that end, urged the competition of free labour with slave lahour, and tb. formation of consular establishments un the coast of Afriaa — kr. Ximaird, Ur. 31 'Mabee, and Mr. Blaney wade a few remarks. Mr. C. FORTESCI - E, in reply to a complaint made by Mr. Cave against the ColonialdAice with reference to the expense d importing coolies into the West lushes, stated the views entertained and the rule adopted by the preempt and previous colonial secretaries of state. He likewise p.duted oat objections to some of the plans proposed by Ur. Iluxtos. The discursion was continued by Mr. Ewing, Sir M. Far quhar, and Mr. Gregson, who thought the Indian cuulie pre fi.rable to the l'hinese. Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, I am mire the house is very couch indebted to the hon. gentleman who moved the ram- lotions, for having brought under the consideration of the house a subject of the greatest possible importance sod interest, and however we may differ from him us to the wording of the resolutions, I think that which has passed m the course of this discussion must have satisfied Itim that there is uo difference whatever of opinioo between the hon. member and her Majesty's government se to the object to be attained. There were some expressions used by the boo. gentleman. and re-echoed by the hon. member fur Perth, which I think if allowed to go forth without some explanation might create considerable mis apprehension u to the impression they intended to convey ; because the hon. gentleman stated that the English govern ment had for a long course of time encouraged and pro moted slavery and the slave trade in other countries. Now, I believe what he meant was this, that by consuming slave-grown 'produce the people of England indirectly en couraged slavery and the slave trade. It ell, that is a ques tion which has been frequently discussed in this house, and upon full deliberation those who have advised parliament to dimourage the cotisumptioo of slave-grown produce have not been successful in convinciug parliament that that would be either a wise or right method of putting the slave trade down. But I wish it to be understood that the efforts of the government for putting down slavery and the slave trade have been most exemplary, have been of long continuance, have been met energetic, and, to a great degree, successful —(chems)—and that is one reason why I object to the wording of the first resolution, because taken as it stand, it would imply that our efforts had been altogether and en tirely a failure. We set the example ourselves of abolish ing t h e slave trade and the condition of slavery. Has that remained a fruitiest example? Why France has followed our example. France has abolished first her slave trade and then slavery, and no condition of slavery now exists in any territory belonging to France. Well, Holland has abolished the slave trade. We have concluded treaties with Spain and Portugal, giving means and providing machinery for putting a stop to the slave trade. We have con cluded treaties urnutnerablowith chiefs on the coast of Africa for putting a stop to the slave trade from their territories, Well, to say that this country has been enema nighe slavery and the aLve trade in other nations is to as sert *et which is at variance with the most notorious his larked facts, and it is a calumny on the British mains and the British government. (Cheers.) Our efforts have been successful. We have induced by oar example and greatly efforts male by the British government ever s i nes year 1815, when at the great congress at Vienna the British representative persuaded all the andederated powers to i k rzes to • declaration that the slave trade eau Mille to and a disgrace to Europe and ought to be put down — ever is,. that time we have made every effort to pat aa end le the slave trade. Well, we have succeeded greatly. In the Est place,with regard to Brasil, which used to import tiny, sixty, and seventy thousand imams yearly, a number which in human misery and eufferlog repre sents three times that extent, because at least three times that number had to be torn from their homes mid families, in the centre of Africa, in order to produce the residue, the slave trade has entirely ceased ; and if we had only ac complished tMit, it would have been • great glory to Um British nation. Well, Portugal need to be the most active instasmeat of slavery. I will not undertake to say, be cane I know it would Dot be true, that in the Portuguese colones in Africa • great extent of slave trade does sot still go os, but it goes on without the consent and without the wishes of the government of Lisbon ; and that govern ment, when repreentations are made to it on the subject, upraises its concurrence, and does all it can to discourage shivery u far as they have power to prevent it, and now very little slavery is carried on under the Portuguese flag. Holland carries on no slave trade, and yet she used to carry on a peat deal ; and therefore the slave trade is confined almost exclusively to that centre of abomination, the eland of Cuba. (Cheers.) The Lum ber of slaves imported into Cuba some years ago was corn. relatively small, but I am sorry to say that within the last few years the number has greatly increased ; and why Because the American goverment, from motives which per. hang one ought to respect, from • mistaken sense of na tional honour, has interfered to cover with impunity that prostitution of the American flag which covers the abomina tions of the slave trade. In speaking of the slave trade it is impossible to express too stningly one's sense of indignation at the profligate, shameless, and drigniceful bad faith with which the Spanish nation has acted with regard to it. (Loud cheering.) As far back as 1817, the Spanish government bound itself by treaty to aboli s h shivery and the slave trade, and we paid 4410,000/. for compensation to those who might suffer by that change of policy. In 1835, after the govern meet of England had mainly contributed to the establishment of • free constitution in Spain, we asked, as the only acknowledgment of the services rendered, that Spain would conclude with ns a treaty by which machinery should be established for mutual right of search and mixed commissions, in order that the engagements of 1817 might be concluded, and au effectual stop put to the slave trade. Well, the memory of our services to Spain being fresh we obtained that treaty, and if it had been fairly carried out the Spanish slave trade would have ceased. It is most extraordinary that a nation which taken individually has the highest sense of honour and good faith, should when taken in the aggregate be guilty of such a shameless abandonment of honour. (Hear, hear.) No doubt the conduct of Spain would give us • good cause of war, if we thought proper to avail ourselves of it. We have repeatedly warned them in as strong language as I am now using, and the papers before parliament contain records of it ; but lam sorry to say they have been deed,to • sense of their duty with sped to their national engagements. I hope that is only • remnant of that debased feeling which their arbitrary goverment in fornior days indicted upon the Spanish nation, and that those more generous feelings which belong to • constitu tional government will soon have their sway. (Hear.) I am sorry to say that we have not received from the govern. meat of the United States that cooperation which we had • right to expect, because they . are homed by treaty to work with American slave government prevents our cruisers from meddling with ships sailing under the American flag, except at their own risk and peril in the event of the ship being fouod to have American papers as well as the American flag ; it would be considered au insult to the American nationality to search the ship. A great difficulty arose, some two or three years ago on the coast of Cubs. We thought it right that there shoidd be an intercepting squadron on the meet of Cuba a• well as on the coast of Africa, but a clamour arose in the United States against that proposal, and we were obliged to withdraw our cruisers from that station. My noble hind made, not long ago, • proposal to the American government which, if they had been disposed to on-operate with us in the abolition of the slave trade, I think they ought to have accepted, as it would have put an end to the abuse of the American flag. When slavers sailing under that flag were hoarded by British wiser they presented American papers as • proof of their nationality, but when they aressarched by the American cruisers they throw the American papers into the sea, and thus destroy the only proof of nationality which would enable American of to seize and condemn the ship. What my noble friend pro- posed was, that the British and American cruisers should sail in couples, so that if the slaver threw away the Anieriain papers the British cruiser could seise her, and if they were retained, the American cruiser could seise the vessel. (A laugh.) I cannot too strongly express my con currence in the opinions of my hon. friend behind me (Mr. Buxton), whose name is associated with all the most honour able and vigorous efforts to put an end to slavery and the slave trade. However, the mean object of the motion of the hon. member is, I believe, that the government should encourage immigration. I should hope after the statement made by my . hon. friend the Under Secretary for the Colonies as to the increase in that immigration from year to year, that the hon. gentleman will be satisfied with having elicited an expression of feeling on the part of the house which will fortify the government—(hear, Intl—in their future com munications with other governments upon this subject, and that he will not expose . the house to the painful duty of dividing upon the previous question. (Cheers.) Mr. CAVE briefly replied. He denied the charge made naiad him by the noble lord at the head of the government, that he had uttered any calumny against this country. On the contrary, he had stated that when the bill of 1846 was received at Havannah the whole town was illuminated. He repeated his objection to the Chinese being serried to Cuba —it would be much better to have Africans than Chinese fur that purpose. He said without fear of contradiction that Spain was nut to be trusted in this matter. Spain had already worked two races to death in Cubs ; and he trusted the noble lord would not encourage Spain to drag • third race to what the noble lord so properly termed " the centre of abominations" —Cuba. After the observations of the noble lord he should not press his motion, being satisfied with the general tone the debate had taken. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. CHINA. Colonel SYKES, who had a motion on the paper to call the attention of the house to that portion of the papers laid before the home upon China lathe relating to events at Shaughee, said at that late hour, and with a mass of facts in his hands which he was then literally unable to reduce to any solid analysis, be thought it would be better to post pone tho motion to this day week. The motion was postponed accordingly. TRANSPORT SERVICE. Mr. LINDSAY moved for a *elect committee to inquire into the organisation and management of those branches of the Admiralty, War-office, India-office, and Emigration Board, by which the husisess of transporting, by means of shipping, troops, convicts, emigrants, materials of WAY, stores, and any other similar services, is now performed. The motion was agreed to. LOCOMYIIVE3 BILL. On the motion of liTililtiilfigis bill was reed • second time, and was ordered to be cummitte.lon 13th Much. The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock. MEETING OF CONVOCATION. THE RITZ OF BA HISM, After our report left in;ter7.l4,The Upper House unanimously assented to the motion of the Bishop of Oxford for allowing parents to act es sponsors fur their children. LOWER HOUSE. " EsSAYR AND REVIEW/I." Dr. JELF moved " That triestilcli;gO;ders be suspended, with a view to move an address to the upper house in re ference to the volume called " Essays and Reviews." h. Il`Caxt seconded, and The Procurator put the motion, and, on a show of hands, declared that the " ayes" bad it. [The numbers appeared to be about 30 to 18.1 Dv. Jur rose to propose an address to the Upper House, prayinpthe official attention of his grace and their lordships to the volume called " Essays and Reviews," the third edition, published by Parker and Soo. The house having suspended the standing orders, he apprehended he had their sympathy and approval in bringing forward the motion. He felt considerable respoosibility iu the matter, having de termined on this course against the opinions of others around him—opinions fully entitled to great weight, and for which he felt the utmost respect ; but, after weighing them all, he could only come to one conclusion, that it was his duty to proceed. The objections he alluded to wore parti cularly were such as these—" You will increase the circula tion of the volume, and increase the agitation." But when they reflected that the volume had already reached the sixth heavy edition, and that it was canvassed in all parts of Eng lish society, and when they reflected on the agitation which it had created, not only among the clergy but the laity of the church of England, the number of comment, that bad been written upon it, and the notoriety the volume had already attained, he could not see bow the motion would increase the circulation of the book. There were some re markable things regarding this look ; the first was, that the enemy—by which he understood the direct natural enemies of the church of Christ, and more particularly the So maraca and the atheists—had already employed the volume in a most serious way, in detail, in order to propound their own opinions. He had it on authority that in Leeds the atheists had from time to time printed the volum e , or parts of it, in order to spread their own opinions. They were pnoting I extracts from it, and circulating them among those who entertained the miserable opinions of atheism. He was far from attributing to the volume any notion of atheism. He thought there were very strong opinion., which every one must regret, in it, but without saying that the writers intended it as the result, it struck hint as au important feature that the enemies of our religion were em ploying this volume for their own unrighteous purposes. The rev. gentleman then proceeded to quote at great length from the volume, showing that the effect of the reviews was to materialism rehigiou and to introduce a system of rationalism, by which the miracles, the incarnation, sod the atonement were explained away, and after strongly urging the duty of the clergy of the Church of England to denounce it and of the synodical representative body to express an authoritative condemnation of a work so heretical, he con cluded by moving an address, calling the attention of his grace the primate and the bishope of the Upper House to the volume entitled "Essays and Reviews , published by J. W. Parker in 1860, the third edition, with a view to take synodical action in reference thereto, inasmuch as in the judgment of this house the book in question contains many erroneous statements, and inculcates priogiples contrary to the coutent4o f the Holy Scriptures and tfflArticles of Re ligion of 15 Dv. M'Caut, in an address strongly condemnatory of the doctrines which he contended the reviews and mays put forward, seconded the motion. Archdeacon SANDFORD, while agreeing with the pre vious speakers in repudiating the principles and doctnnes which were understood to be promulgated by the book in gustiss, suggested that far convocation topass a solemn re solution against the volume would b e giving to the opinions it contained an importance to w y were sot entitled, and by exciting public curiosity a to the mischief which it was calculated to produce. He mound the previous question, re+ the most practical mode of relieving the house from the difficulty. Archdeacon GRANT seconded the amendment. A ichileacon DesisoN protested against slurring over an important matter like this by the previous question, thus holding forth to the clergy and the country that convoca tion feared to carry out its functions. It was their duty to notice a book of this infidel tendency, put forward as it was by men high in authority, and to stamp it with their eon demuation. There were numerous precedents for such a course, but it hail been urged that the time for ecclesiastical censure had pulped. It should, however, be remembered that if, now the question dud been brought before them, they al lowed it to be set aside as proposed, they would in effect be tacitly admitting the principle for which the book con. tended—that of allowing private and individual judgment to over-ride ecclesiastical and scriptural authority. The Dean of Noewice could not see how they could= any more severe censure upon the book had been already pronounced by the bishops, and seeing that their lordship were still oonsi deriug whether further steps should be taken, it would scarcely be decorous for the Lower House to send up the proposed address. He thought it would be sufficient to say that they fully concurred in the condemnation which had been passed by the bishops on the book, and s a motion to that effect in substitution of that of Dr u . i rlf t ! d The Rev. F. VINCR.4T concurred in condeniniug the book, but thought the house should not act in the matter pending the decision of the bishops, whether further ecclesiastical proceedings should bo taken or not. Authoritative deci sions ty ecclesiastical tribunals no longer regulated the in fluence of publications, es iu day. past. Archdeacon Mame doubted whether, until they barium. fully reed the book, and compared the quotations made by Dr. Jell with the context, they could be in a position to pass such a resolution. They were not at all certain that the interpretation which bad been put upon the passages quoted were those intended by the writers. At all events, they ought to be sure from the writers themselves that they were putting the right construction upon their writings before they proceeded to condemn them. The Dean of ELT observed that one of the essays we. written by a person who was personally dear to him— one who, as had been truly swelled, had given up hie pros- I poet. of a fellowship at drawbridge because his views were not in accordance with whathe would have been called upon to profess had he taken holy orders, for which he had been named. He (the Dean of Ely) felt, considering he. con nexion with the person referred to, that if he voted in fa vour of the amendment without a word, he mightbe thought amino to screen that person • and if, on the other hand , be said anything on the subje ct, he might be in danger of committing himself in the minds of those who heard him, and be supposed to be standing forth as the defender of what he did not wish to defend. However, he wished to say in the most distinct terms, that he did n ot approve of the volume, and he thought with regard to the one essay he alluded to especially, that while the writer was successful in demo. Rabies the adversary he raised up, he failed altogether when he proceeded to the reconstructive part of the sub ject. He was right when he told them what Genesis was not, but when he proceeded to hie own conclusion it was quite as wild as those which he destroyed. The writer being a layman was, however, at liberty to put forward his views ; but as to the'clerical writers, he could scarcely see how the holding of the views put forward by them was consistent with the holding of holy orders in the Church of England. He considered that the proper course to pursue erns, not to adopt Dr. Jell's motion, but to pass to the previous question, and thus avoid giving any jedgment, and, in erect, declaring that the subject was one which it was enedvisable for them to entertain. _ _ The Rev. Mr. KLKNAWAT supported the motion ; and, after some further discussion, Dr. WORDBWORTII moved ass substitution fey Dr. Jelf's motion the following:—" That the clergy of the Lower Rouse of Convocation of the province of Canterbury, having regard to the unanimous censure which has been slreedy pronounced and published by the archbishops and bishops of both provinces oa certain opinions contained in a certain book entitled ' &nays and Reviews,' entertain an earnest hope that under the Divine blessing the faithful seal of the Christian church may be enabled to counteract the pernicious influence of the erroneous opinions contained la the said volume." _ _ _ itichrleico;;Enitiorox seconded this, and after some re marks from Dr. Jebb and Dr. Williams, who advocated en adjournment of the debate, and expressed a doubt as to the wisdom of condemning the book, Dr. Jelf consented to withdraw his , resolution in favour of Dr. Wordsworth's, which was carried, the previous question being negatived on • show of hands by • large majority. The house then adjourned until to-morrow (thin day). SPORTING. BIRMINGHAM GRAND STEEPLECHASES. TUUDAY. Tax Bcrress' STAILEB each, with 25 added, for bones that have never won. Weight for age.

HOUSE OF LORDS.- Fmii. 2. COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEGES. TER BERKELEY lICERAG E. -JUDGE ENT. Their lordships oat as a Committee of Privileges, and gave their opinions on the claim of the Right Honourable Sir Maurice Frederick Fitzhardiftge Berkeley, G.C.8., of Berke ley Castle, in the county of Gloucester, a vice•admiral of the white, to the title of Baron of Berkeley by tenure. The case hue been argued before the house from time to time in several sessions, and the evidence and arguments were brought to conclusion at the end of last session. Their lordship now delivered their opinions. The Lord Chancellor delivered the judgment of the house in a very clear and elaborate speech, and concluded by declaring that the claimant bad not made out his claim. Lord Cranworth,Lord St. Leopards, and Lord Chelmsford, in elaborate judgments, signified their concurrence. Lord Wensleydale, who had heard only part of the argument, also said that so far as be was enabled to form an opinion, be also agreed. Lord Redesdale fully and at length stated hie meow for having arrived at the conclusion that no one had sat in parliament as a baron by tenure since the time of Richard H. The claim was therefore rejected. THE POLICE COURTS. LAMBETH. A summons was heertibiift.Elliott, taken out against Mr. Morton, proprietor of Canterbury Hall, for permitting the performance of a pantomime in hie place of entertain ment without being duly licensed. The managers of the London theatres at a meeting had agreed to institute these proceedings with • view of testing the legality of such a representation, and Mr. Benjamin Webster, of toe New Aii, appeared as prosecutor. Evidence wee gives as to the character of the piece complained of, and it was urged in defence that it oould not brought under the definition of a stage play. Ultimately an adjournment was granted, at the request of the defendant, for the purpose of calling other witnesses. WANDSWORTH. Ellen England, aged 17, ►od her mother , Clare/int Eng land, were brought up, on remand, charied with being concerned in robbing Marl Ann Steadman, • uesdleworaen, ci the Wandsworth•road, in whose service the younger pri soner lived. In this awe one of the witnesses, a lady named Grant, had refused to take the general oath of kissing the Testa ment, on the ground that she was a Presbyterian. The worthy magistrate gave an opinion that there was no ex ception in her case, as the act only applied to Quakers and esparatiste. It was found necessary to have Mrs. Grant's evidence, and a summons was accordingly issued for her attendance. On her being called, Mr. Ingham placed in her hands a piece of pap:T o:o 7n which was written the following form of oath : —" A ccording to the religion you profess, and as you consider an a binding upon your conscience, and as you shall answer to God at the great day of judgment, you shall speak the truth, the whole truth, and notbiug but the truth. When Mrs. Grant had read it, Mr. Ingham asked her if she considered that form death binding upon her ccoacience Mrs. Grant replied in the affirmative. Mr. Ingham then gays directions for her to be sworn. Mr. Bolden, the usher, read the form to her and re title to bold up he r right hand, which she did, and Ethen proceeded to give her seldom.. The earensony of swearing the witoses excited some little interest, for although the court had been established 20 years, this was the fist time the general rule had been de parted from in the case of a Christian. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this oompany was held yesterday afternoon at the Easton station ; Mr. JOHN Score in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAULHAN briefly moved its adoption. Yr. 1111APA7'II said the first thing he saw in glancing over the report was the heavy expenses ; there was nothing to be said upon that subject, because every company bad bad a very trying time during the last half-year. He would congratulate them upon the victory they had obtained over the St. Pancras and Islington parishes respecting their assessment. He bail does all he could for many years to get railways to unite to endeavour to get amelioration from the poor rates. In one parish on the South Eastern line the railway had to pay the whole of the pariah rates. He maw they bad applied to parliament for a bill to enable them to go down to Liverpool-street, the estimated cost of which was 70,0001. ; he trusted that would be found for he could mention instances in which the actualc= more than doubled the estimate. He had very little doubt they would fled it would injure their other line, and be sides, it was not so very much nearer the Bank. The CHAIRMAN said it was less than half the distance, and had been estimated by competent judges. A SHARKHOLDIR said that an alsertion had been mails by the Blackwell Railway Company, that the making of this proposed branch would be a direct breach of contract with them. (Hear, hear.) Probably they had seen this charge, and he thought it ought to be answered. Mr. E. bisecting said the matter stood thus: they bad an agreement with the Blackwell Railway Company, which terminated at the option of either company in July, 1868. Up to that time they were certainly by a matter of deed and contract under obligations to them ; but this board did not consider they were bound on that account to remain with their hands tied behind them, and run a cir cuitous route beyond 1868. By the measure they bad taken they should not get an act of parliament till 1861, and it would take a considerable time to finish their works. If they did not give notice till 1868 to begin their line, it would take to 1875 to finish it. There was a very strong demand on the part Cl the public for improved accommodation, and at the same time there were many schemes to cut in, as it were, between their line and the City, which would have deprived them, and eves the Blackwell Railway also, of their traffic. It was simply • matter of compensation with that line, for whatever they might lose previous to 1868, and upon that they had thought fit to complain of • breach of faith, they would be iu • condition to compete with the omit bum, and he believed it would create also a fresh traffic with the northern suburbs of Lotdon In answer to Mr. Herapath, Mr. CH I: BBri said a most careful estimate had been made, and the coat of this new line had been set down at 350,000/. a mile. - Mr. HIRAPATH said they would have to pay the Black well Railway Company about 130,0001. compensation. The CHAMMAN bad no doubt they could make other ar• r. V ea reptt was then adopted. A resolution wan then passed declaring a dividend at the rate ot ai per oent, per annum for the last half-year. Mr. Bweetland, the retiring director, and Mr. San derson, the retiring auditor, having been re-elected, a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the pro osedinp. MARKETS. COTTON. —LIVERPOOL, FED. 20.—A firm market at c attrday's prices. The sales to-clay ire estimated at 10,000 COTTON OOOD.9.—M.t NCH F.MITR, FEB. N.—The market continues in much the same state of depression aa last weak, and the prices of India shirting, and nuulapol lams are about 10. per piece down since then. Lighter fabrics for the same market are c heap er iu proportion. Printing cloths are even more depram. ; and long cloths and T clothe have at length begun to feel the weight of the depression more severely. A very small business has been done, and manufacturers generally are becoming very anxious sellers. It aware that only a portion of the Black burn weavers resumed work yesterday, and a telegram re ceived here to-day states that it is feared even these will go out again to-night, from a misunderstanding amongst them selves. The yarn market has greatly disappointed expecta tions. From the better feeling of the last few days it was thought we should have had prices id. per pound higher; but buyers would not give it, and spinners have been rather free sellers at Friday's rates. A Bur business has been done on these terms both for home consumption and export. A larger business would have been done, it is thought, but for the feu• that money will be dearer. German and Dutch shippers have been amongst the buyers of water twist ; but India buyers of yarn are only operating where they can do so on easier terra's. Telegrams from Calcutta to the 29th January report very little business, and shirting's ltd. lower than on the 25th, and 44d. lower than on the 17th January.

LLEDN, FEB. 26.—The wheat trade shows increased health, and all farther decline appears to be arrested, but the demand is entirely confined to the best and driest samples. A fair business has taken place in fine qualities at the full rates of last week. Barley goes off slowly, without material alteration in the value of dry and heavy deserip. Lions. Beans inquired for; fine hard lots sell readily at full rates. Oats and other articles as before. LIVIRPOOL, Fix 26. There was a fair attendance of millers and dealers at this morninp market, and rather a more general inquiry was expenenced for wheat than of late, the quotations of Friday being fully maintained. Flour was held firmly at previous rates. Indian men commanded a fair share of attention, and, being offered aaly sparingly, holders had an advantage of from 3 d: to Gd. Put quarter. Oats and oatmeal were moderately dealt in. Beans, peas, and barley, each brought previous rates in retail. The market wore a firm aspect throughout. Newcawri.x, Fn. 26. —The weather looks more settled, and, with a continuance, seeding operations, which have been some time in abeyance, will be resumed. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, but having • goal quantity offering from the stands, the trade opened languidly, but finished rather better than it commenced ; still, however, the amount of business pealing was trifling. For fair runs of south coun try red 5&. could not be exceeded. For foreign the demand was confined chiefly to new Seal yellow at 645. per 50416., the natural weight being 60114. per busheL Flour without change ; and the same remarks will apply to other articles.
