I lave stated formerly to the house that Mr. Cobden was lad year in Paris as a private individual, and that he had a peat dial of private communication with the ministers of the E. 112 pe n.r of the Preach. It was supposed that that might lead So • treaty ; and Mr. Cobden was then regularly inv,steil, just as Mr. Eden, a private individual and moreover in ~p. poetics to the government, bad been in 17th;, with the authority of a pleitiporeatiary, en far aa regarded the cont inental treaty.

There is no salary granted to Mr. Cobden ; but as be is on a special mien= it n proposed that his expenses, while he is on that special minion, shall be defrayal. The only other question put to me had refer. core to the Chinese expedition, namely. whether orders bad been sent out to stop the expedition from undertaking any operations until the arrival of Lord Elgin.

Mr. LOCKE, in asking the rust Commissioner of Works what steps he had When, or was about to take, in ito the report of the committee on the purifi ca ti on eM i Sesuesdiime referred to the several discussions which bod e telekee en the subject in former SINI/ORS, and the Let., Wig to which the house came to to awry oat the plan of the hate Mr. Fituoy, and complained while the works wen in regress the present Pint Commissioner of Works had ecuestited to the appointment of • committee Se inquire late the 'object, which committee had reoom• mended the albendomeent of • plan which he (Mr. Lades) believed would be effectual, and upon which 14,000 i. oat of • total oust of 17,0001. had been incurred. He added that the committee were not ! *necklaces in their WOO/10114141ii011, but that the ' question was decided by the casting vote of the chairman. The return which had been moved for was not • return upon which the slightest dependence could be placed, inas much as it was simply • return of the sem alreody paid to the contractor, without taking into einsideration the accounts not et delivered. The report of the committee recomme the entire abandiamarat el the scheme, and if it were acted upon it would be the abandonment of • scheme upon which an expeoditere el 14,0001. had &bendy received die sanction of the home. Would people eel of dean think It creditable to the home that seek utter want of purport should be displayed in dealing with the money of the country ? On the contrary, he felt satilled that if they found the mosey was to be squandered WWI@ fralke, they would at once arrive at the concludes that the persons to whom the ex= i tir . of the money was entrusted were imempeteat to • their duties. .(Hear, hear.) Mr. BKNTINCK objected to the principle of defraying the cod of metropolitan jobs oat of the public parse, and mid the use which had been brought before the house was one of the grossest that could be =wined. No lees than 14,0001. had been fooled away for earthing. It was not WI much for the house to consider who was to blame ! in the matter as to take into their serious counties/ion I whether they would sanction this perpetual system of I plunder upon the public for metropolitan If the purification of the was requisite ir= have been mid for by • metropolitan rata. (Hear.) Mr. COWPER said the question of the best mode of purifying the Serpentine had been under consideration for many years. The general impression had been that it was only necessary to clear away the dirt at the bottom of the lake, and pour in fresh water, bat last year • new plan was brought forward, by which it was propoeed to pans the river perpetually through a series of filters. When the matter was brought under his notice he confessed that he shared the common opinion, that such • plan, however in genious, would not prove satisfactory. At the same time he did not think it respectful to the house to make any alteration until the house had had an opportunity of cum , der* the subject, and he therefore obtained the appoint- meat of anklet committee. The committee With very fairly ' constituted. The two parties were so evenly balanced that the report was very far from unanimous, but still the cow ' mitts' did report that the proper course to take was ' to pt rid of the foulness at the bottom of the lake, and to construct • clear and hard bed. They also reported that it was desirable to abandon the praxes of filtration, and to obtain • pare supply of water by some other means. In earring out the views of the committee the government ! had consulted Mr. tiimpsoo, the eminent hydraulic en gineer, as to the best mode of turning the work„ already executed to • profitable account, and bow the sum voted last year might still be employed in the most effectual and ' ecoacennal manner. Filtration possessed this defect— it failed to deal with the origin of the mischief, and under the! attraction of enemy the house had been led to adopt a scheme which would prove wet easetisfactory in the end. After consulting with Mr. Simpson, he (Mr. Cowper) an. I pounced to Mr. Hawkaley that the plan of filtration must I be abandoned, end asked him opinion as to the fusibility of obtaining • supply frees a well at the upper end of Kensing ton-gardens. - Mr. Hawbley reported, that • well s unk into the chalk would give • daily supply of half • million gallons of pure water. Nothing had yet been done in refer enceto the removal of the works nisch had been constructed for carrying out the proms of filtration. The engine which Was intended to facilitate filtration would herea fte r be em ployed in pumping water out of the well, in establishing • perpetual current from cue end of the l a k e to the other, and in throwing up the water into some very ornamental fountains. A large outside would also be pro- vided, and the water would be thrown up in jeta of considerable height. These improvements, however, would not be effected for the mere sake of ornament, but experience proved that anything which kept the water in motion had a tendency to purify it. He did not think, under these circumstances, that his hon. friend (Mr. Locke) was justified in Lemming that 14,0001. had already been extended for which no return would be received, but, on the coutrag, he was of opinion that when the works were completed it would be found that the money expended had produced most satisfactory results. With regard to the ieviertien that the purification of the Serpeutine was • metropolitan job, and that it ought to be defrayed by • metropolitan rate, he would simply remind the house that no such ou rate existed, and that the Serpentine was situated in one of the royal perks, which had always been kept up by the public funds. It mast also be remembered that these were net exclusively London parks, but that they were metropolitan in the sense of belonging to the metro polis of the whole kingdom. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. SHELLEY said it was no fault of his that the money of the country had been "fooled away," as the hon. member for Norfolk asserted, in purifying the water of the Serpentine by • process of filtration, inasmuch as be had dem his best, when that plan was brought before the ' house, to induce them to reject it. He had regarded the whole scheme as vinionary, and his opinion now turned out to be correct. With regent to the *au-, before the com mittee, he believed that if it had not been for the bold emertioa of Mr. Hawbaker himself that 14,0001. oat of the 17,0001. votesd had beim ettently expended, there would have boos so difissity is Worm the committee W tame to • more unanimous report.

He hoped the hones would Dot accede to the motion. Mr. MALINS said he should woe& to the motion in order to record hie opinion that this warn a duty which ought at the mintiest period to be reduced. ifx. CROSSLEY, though he'oppoeed the motion, consider ing the tall to be bawd upon an injure principle, was of Tnithat this was one of the worst of taxes, in respect boL a alreeder sad amount. Lord C.

MriBAXTKR entirely concurred in the argumente of the hon. member for Dudley, but as there would be evi dently great di/acuity in proceeding during the present ses sion to legislate upon this question, be should euggest to the hon. member not to press his motion further. Mr. MA.LINS explained that he had only suggested to the hon. member for Dudley that at this period of the ses sion, when there was so much important public business, it would be hopeless to attempt to carry his measure. Sir 8, Prro and Mr. RAWER= also recommended the hon. member for Dudley to rest satisfied with the impres sion which he bad shady made, and not to press the mea sure further at present. Mr. SHERIDAN thought they bad bad a distinct decla ration from the government that they were not at this moment prepared to consider this question, and he bad consequently no other alternative than to proceed to a di vision. (Cheers.) But before he did so, he hoped the house would allow him to answer some of the objections which Ind been made to the bill. (Cries of " No, no," and " Divide.")

THAMES EMBANKMENT. Sir J. PAXTON moved for • select committee to con sider the best means of providing for the leasing traffic of the metropobs, by the embankment of the The hon. member said that it took as much time to go from London-bribe to the Great Western Railway Station, so it did to go from London to B r ight on , or rom Paddington station to Oxford. He believed that his plan would tend much to improve the sanitary con dition of the metropolis. The Thames would be purified and as clear as it was at Richmond, while the embank ment on either side would afford • promenade quite equal to either of the parks. Mr. COWPER thought the house would Dot object to the motion. It req uire d n o arguments to show the necessity of a road from along the banks of the Thames to London - bridge ( Hear, bear.) It was generally ad mitted that an embankment would be an advantageto the navigation of the river, and the necessity that the Board of Works were in to make a low level sewer along the Strand, Fleet-street, and St. Paul's, to London-bndge, which would stop up the traffic of London for some time, rendered it the more important that the committee should sit immediately. The sewer would go near to the foundations of many of the houses, and many thought it would endanger them. It went close to the foundations of Somerset-house and St. Paul's, and it was a matter of serious consideration whether injury was likely to arise to those buildings. It was requisite that it should be ascertained whether the object could not be obtained in connexion with some arrangement for an em bankment. Re did not agree that this was an imperial question, but it was • matter of inquiry how far those in terested in property in the neighbourhood, which would be largely improved, would contribute—how far local taxatioo might be made to aid in carrying out the object—how far the Metropolitan Beard of Works would assist—and also how far the various railway companies which would be benefited would lend their help. These were all questions which a committee would be the proper tribunal to investigate, and therefore be hoped that there would be no opposition to the motion. Mr. BLACKBURN moved an amendment that the inquiry be extended to the question of how the funds were to be provided by the district benefited. He held that it was entirely • local question. In the debate which followed, and in which Lord J. Manners, Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Deaden, Lord Palmerston, Mr. Bentinek, and other members took part, it was suggested that the whole matter should be left is the hands of the Metropolitan Board of Works. Sir M. PEW compared London with the appearance of Paris. He had seen something of the accounts and details of the vast buildings which had been erected there of late years through • private source, and lad been extremely struck with the order, detail, and accuracy th a t prevailed. There was a disposition to treat these matters in England in • petty, illiberal spirit.

It was by these means that Paris had become an object of attraction to the whole world. He did not deans an imperial regime ; but there was no meson why business should not be carried out properly. Every one knew the disgraceful hap-hazard way in which our railway legislation was conducted ; but it was the same in every department.

THE FRAUDS ON THE UNION BANK. XLAXINATION AT THE MANSIONHOINSE. (Continued from yesterday's Express.) Theme John Preston-I ant clerk in the private dry ing -office at the Bank of Fag lead. Oa the 12th of April Let it was part of my duty to make up the account of the Union Bank in the reasbook produced, which correctly im plements the sums paid in to the credit of the Urea Hank as that day. There is no entry of a nun of WM. as paid in. Mr. Giffard-That is the ore on this ? charge, my lord. The Lord Mayor-Have you any questions to put pet some Primer-My lord, my intention la to plead guilty. The Lard Mayor-But you might wish to pat some ques tions. Primmer-No, my lord, I do not wish to give any nar row, trouble. The depositions were then read over end signed, and the . primer was committed for trial on the specific charge of 3501., the property of the Union Bank, on the tint. The prisoner Lyttleton was then brought up and placed bride inger, 111 order that a joint charge might be pro ceeded with. Mr. Oiffard-It will probably be convenient for Mr. Lewis, who appears for Lyttleton, as well as for the court, if I explain the circumstance, of the joint charge. The object appears to have been to get poesemiou of a gm of 3,0001. to meet the pressing wants of Pullinger ; and the way in which it was effected was this. The mere physical diMculty of oogg away such a sum as 3,0001. woad have been considde stile, and so entries were made in the books that on a certain day notes were exchanged for gold over the counter. The notes were then handed to Pala ger, who was able to carry them off, while they were ' entered in the book se being paid into the Bank of Rag land. Pullinger was Lyttleton's superior ?Meer • but the circumstances of the case ere such as wall, I asir, show a complicity between the prisoners • but, at the game time, I have to gay on behalf of the direct:ors, that if those circum stances can be made to appear consistent with Lyttleton's innocence, no one will rejoice more than the directors. John Arthur Barton, deputy manager of the Union Bank, seid-The prisoner Lyttleton was • cashier in the bank, Pullinger being chief cashier. I produce the counter cash book, and refer to entries made on the 25th and 27th Aril, 1859, which are in Lyttleton's handwriting, whose book it is. In the current account column for the 26th April, he debits 3,000/. as paid in Fold into the Bank of . The document produced is in Lyttleton's hand ling. (It read thus :-April 25, '59. Debit Bank of England 3,0001. gold.") On the same day there is an entry S. and M., 500 t." as an exchange, which according to the ordinary comae of business would represent an exchange of notes for gold to that amount. We have customers named Samuel and Montagu, who are bullion dealers. On the 27th April I find two exchanges entered, one being "E. C. R." (Eastern Counties Railway), for 1,5001. ; the other being • sum of 1,0001. "S. M.," which we should presume to be Samuel and Montagu. The gold on the 25th professed to have been given in exchange fora 500/. note, No. 37,984, dated 27th January, 1859 7 and the notes for the exchange of the Eastern Counties Railway Company were one of LOOM and one of 5001., the note given in the second exchange for Samuel and Montagu being also a 1,000/. note. Creme:amine:l by Mr. Lewis-Lyttleton had been at the bank 13 or 14 yearn, and Pullinger about 21 years. It gag LAU/Ares duty to obey Pulhnger, as chief cashier. It wee one of Lytilroe's duties to pay over to Pulliam say sum of gold which might accumulate in his hands over what he required for his WI from time to time. That would be very much at his own discretion. On the 25th of April the 3;0001. which according to the book was paid IVlt.tle ton to Pullinger, wee to be paid into the Bank of That rum, if paid in, should appear in our ledger en d in the bank passbook. Lyttleton made out the ticket for the 3,0001., and the payment to Pullinger appears in our took ; but I have no proof that the payment was ever made. Mr. Lewis--What do you mean by ',tying that you have no proof. Did you see it ! Witness-No. Mr. Lewis-Would you see it in the case of another clerk ? Witness-No. Mr. Lewis-Then do not hazard a surmise as to its not having been paid. The payment appears in your books. Was there anything that Lyttleton could have done which he did not do to make the payment more clear? Witness- No. Mr. Lewis-He was expected to do nothing more ? Witness - N o. Mr. Lewis-It was no part of hie duty to see the 3,0001. paid into the Bank of land ! Witness-No ; that was s duty. It is usual to pay coin into the Bank of Engin/Ad before 12 o'clock in the day. Mr. Lewis-If the head cashier brought Lyttletoo 6001. in gold, as represented on the 25th of April, to exchange for Samuel and Montagu, would it not be Lyttleton's duty to give Pullinger 5001. in notes ? Witness-Yes, it would. Mr. Lewis-And the game with regard to the 1,5001. for the Eastern Counties Railway Company ? Witness-I should say not, without reference to the manager. Mr. Lewis-Why Witnese-On account of the largeness of the amount. Lowir-The directors of the bask had very great confidence he Pullinger's honesty aid general character, had they sot ? Wiren-Yee. Mr. Levee-And you also! Witmer-Yes, I hod. Mr. Lewis-You would not have thought him capable of tells hhehood in connection with the bank! WidfNo, I should not. Mr. Lewis-And the same feeling pervaded the clerks geosielly? Wilma-Yea Mr. Lewis-And yet you mean to say that if Pullinger went to a subordinate clerk, and asked him for moor. notes for gold, it was not the duty of that clerk to give it? Witness-Not without reference to the manager. It was entirely out of the question in the case of the Eastern Counties Railway, who never do such a thing, and although there is no rile onthesubject, the traneaction was so entirely out of the ordinary course, that he ought-to have inquired fi rst. There were several transactions of the kind with Samuel and Montego but it was no part of my duty to know about them. I "(DOW about them. I know of them by the books. If Samuel and Montagu sent in 1,5001. or 3,0001. in gold and asked for notes it would have been Lyttleton's dot y to make an observation on the extra. ordinal' , nature of the transaction. Not to do so would be a want of discretion rather than • failure in duty. In ordi nary oases he was bound to obey Pnllinger but the irregu larity of this transaction ought to have att racted his atten tion, although Pullinger was in the habit of receiving mil lions at the bank. Mr. Lewis-1/ Pullinger brought Lyttleton 3,0001. in sovereigns in exchange for notes the bank would not be harmed; and why, therefore, should Lyttleton have referred to the manager? Wirer-From the unusual nature of the transaction. Mr. Lewis-The correct numbers of the notes exchange were given? Witness-Yes. Mr. Lewie-And you find he did give the notes to Pnllinger? Witness-I believe they have been traced to Pullinger. Mr. Lewis-And yet you give this poor young man in custody on such • charge. How lung have you been deputy manager? Witness- Eighteen years. Mr. Lewis-And you know nothing derogatory to Lyttle. ton's character? Wirer-No, nothing. Mr. Lewle-Do you trace by the books that Lyttleton received a single shilling of the 3,0001. •. Whases-Ne not that I am aware of. Mr. Lewis-I hope the directors will be satisfied now. Since he was in custody have his accounts been examined ? Witness-His books have. Mr. Lewis-And have been pronounced faultless! Witness-They appear to be kept quite straightforward. Mr. Lewis-So there is nut one single entry that can be charged as a false entry! The witness shrugged his shoulders, but said nothing. Mr. Lewis- Don't shrug your shoulders-but answer the question. Witness-I can only my that there is an entry of 3,0001., and it is not in the hank. Mr. Lewis- But it was Pullinger's duty to pay the money into the Bank of England? Wither-Yes. Mr. Lewis-Then, how can you charge it upon Lyt tleton? And how can you call it a false entry? Wittier -I call it • fair entry because the sum is in his book, and the Bank of England doesn't give us credit for it. Mr. Lewis-But that does not tasks it • false entry, as you have treed the notes. Witness-Well, I only presume so. Mr. Lewis-It is only • presumption, and we'll have your answer written down. Has Pullinger received money from other clerks? Witare-Yes. Mr. Lewis-And has he always paid them into the Bank of England ? Witness-Always, go far as we have been able to trace them up to to-day. Mr. Louie-1 call for the banker's peas-book. Mr. Giffard-Well, you may calL Mr. Lewis-I say again, I ask for the banker's par-hook. Mr. Odiard--Well, you shall have it. The book wee handed to the learned gintlernan accordingly. Mr. Lowle-ls this the only book purporting to be a book between yen:waves and the Bank of Eoglend ? Witness-No : there is another. Mr. Lewis--Where is it ? Witness-It is not here. Mr. Lewis-Where is it ? Wiesses-I think it is at the Bank of England. Mr. Lewis-Then we must have it. Mr. Oteard-fitop a minute. Is that the book made by Pullinger ? Witneas-Ye• Mr. Olffard-Then, perhaps, Mr. Lewis will show how it is to be made evidence Mr. Lewis-Ia it not here ? Witness-No, it is not. Mr. Lewis-Will year swear it Wirer-Yee ; to the best of my knowledge. Mr. Lewis—Wei not Ptt'linger in the habit of carrying large sem hi gold to the Book of England ? Whom—Yin} bet when the num woe large he had a porter to carry the 'newly. Mr. Lewis—And Po linger went with the porter! Witnene—Yes. Ir. Lewia—litst did not the porter sometimes carry it by himself ? Mr. Lewis—Bona as high as 3,0001. or even 10,0001! Wilma—Weil, I can't myth. amend. Mr. Humphreys—l may my my lord, that lam here in a peculiar capacity. I attend by Pullinger's desire, not to screen him in say way from the rein quenote el the that may be brought spina him, but bemuse he s le h l a t e r l incumbent upon him to state that th e chary his 00-prisoner, Mr. Lyttleton, is unfair, and not warranted in any way by the facto of the ease. (4nitti bunt of sympathy from the audience.) Mr. r authoress me to state that Mr. Lyt azz: conduct has always been correct with re gard to the bank, that Mr. Lyttleton's entries are all entirely clear, and that he has never put into I; ., i , a n =t oar single " of the bank's money, to Mr. a knourkdge. ' was his superior officer • he wan bound to act by ' directions • and Mr. officer; thinks it his duty to make this etaterOent, which I submit to your lordship, and it is for your lordship to receive it, and act upon it as you may think proper. Mr. Giffard— I have no reason to complain of Mr. Humphreys' statement ; but I must my that the director are not to place implicit rename on the Matement of a man who has been robbing them for years, m to whether he had any confederates or not. The witness re-examined by Mr. Giffard—lt was no part of Pullinger's duty to take gold to the bank clerks at the counter to be exchanged. The bank notes are regularly distributed to the clerks to the morning, and they have to show by their hooka what they have done with those notes. I can't m that Pullinger carrying such a sum as 3,0001. to Lyttieton's counter would have attractedlittention, but he might ask a porter or a cmhier to cern it. By Mr. Lewis-1 believe he had 30 shares in the bank. Be was 'mown ae a shareholder. Mr. Lewis—Weire Mr. Lyttleton'e account, examined at Masud cif 1859, and certified aa correct! Whams—Yea Mr. Lewis—And also Pullinger'e ! Witmer—Yea. Kr. Lewis—By whom were they certified! Wits sse—By two directors. Mr. Lewis—Yea Yr. Giffard—But would that be upon the supposition that all the trusses-time contained in the book were genuine trensectioss, Witmer—Yes. onsteve Bitters, chief clerk to Messrs. Samuel and Mon tagu, Cornhill, bullion dealers, deposed that they did not make the exchange of gold for notes referred to by the witness on the 25th and 27th April, 1859, and pro need evidecee in support of that assertion. By Mr. Lewis—When I have made each exchanges I went to a clerk, who went to Pullinger, and sometimes Pullinger came back with him ; but the general practice was for the cashier to take it without referring to Pulliuger. Mr. 11. Sprowle, cashier to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, Shoreditch, deposed that on the 27th ApriL 1869, be sent to the Union Bank a sum of 3,7001., but that he exchanged no sum of 1,5001. in gold for notes on that dal. The messenger brought back the book initialed 44 Mr. Barton—To the beet of my belief those inidah are in Lyttleton's handwriting. James Sheldoq stockbroker, deposed that on the 25th of April, 1859, Pullinger owed him 500/. and paid him in one note, which he (Sheldon) paid into his bankers ; and that on the 27th of April he received of Pullinger 1,0001. in the morning, and 1,500 f. in the afternoon. The I,ooof. he paid to a member of the Stock Exchange, who wes t = shout his account, and the 1,5001. he paid into hia After some further evidence tracing the notes paid in exchange for the 3,0001. in gold, Mr. Gifford said his evidence was complete. Mr. Lewis—Then I ask your lordship whether there is any evidence at all to affect Lyttleton ? The Lord Mayor —I am bound to lay, to the best of my judgment, there is nothing in the evidence at all calculated to prove collusion or complicity on the part of Lyttleton ; but he wee perhaps guilty of some indiscretion in paying se large a stun of mosey to the other prisoner without incitury. Hai indiscretion is so crime, and I cannot therefore com mit him. (Load applause, which was cut off by the officers of the court.) Mr. Lewis—l thank your lordship. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—But you are aware, Mr. Lewis, that there is another charge against him. Mr. Lewis—Yes, but I don't know whether they will proceed with that or not. The Lord Mayor—We will dispose of the first. Have you anything to say, Pullinger? kullinger—Only that I plead guilty to this charge. The Lord Mayor—Then it is my duty to commit you for trial. Giffard—With reference to the other charge against Lyttleton some evidence has already been given ; but after taking all the circumstances into careful con sideration, I do not think we shall be able to add any strength to that evidence, and therefore that will not be proceeded with. It is to be regretted f c o h : r tri sake of the young man and his friends that the explanation now brought out through the instrumentality of Lyttleton's solicitor was not given at first ; but no such explanation was offered, and all the directors had to guide them in their peroeedings was that they round three entries in LitUeton's handwriting which turned out to be false. Now, however, that the explanation is given, and as lordship has intimated that you do not think the evi dence strong enough, the directors feel that it would be an un graceful act to persevere ; and therefore I have the satis faction to say on their behalf that no further proceedings will be taken against Lyttleton. Mr. Lewis--The explanation was not given because Mr. Lyttleton and his friends were not aware of any charge of 3,0004 being in existence until this morning, when it took them completely by surprise. If they had known of it they would have given the explanation. That Lyttleton is an honest and honourable young man is apparent from the ad mission made to-day, that although he has been 15 years in the beak no single misappropriation or mis-entry has been discovered on his part, and I hope your lordship will say that be leaves this court without a stain or a stigma on his character. (Applause.) The Lord Mayor—He will leave this court as free fro= stain as he entered it, but at the same time the directors of the Union Bank had a duty to perform to their constituents, which duty they have very properly endeavoured to dis charge ; and I do not see that they are to be blamed in airy ya k. Lewis—Decidedly not. The Lord Mayor--And I must express my pleasure at the course taken by Pullinger in completely exonerating Lyttle ton from blame. It is a bright oasis in the desert of his guilty career that he exhibits so much sensibility, and evinces so strong a desire to shield an innocent man- (here Pullinger was observed to be weeping)—end I have only to repeat that Lyttleton leaves the bar without the slightest stain clinging to his character. Lyttleton was then discharged, and immediately after Pullinger had affectionately shaken him by the hand quitted the court with his friends, while Pullinger was taken below. We may add that before he was conveyed to Newgate he sent up a message to our reporter, requesting a public state ment that he has done his utmost to atone for his crime by assigning everything he had in the world to the Union Bank, leaving his wife without a bed of her own to lie upon, and without an' other clothes than those in which she was dressed at the tune. . . _ It is understood that no other charges will be brought against him, his plea of guilty being amply sufficient for the purposes of justice. Rain *Meow. EQlJrri COURTS.-MAY 4. (Before the Lorde Justices of Appeal.) FISHIR r. BILIERLEV. Their lordships this nuir i t . i;2 of delivered their judgment in this case, which was an • from • decision the Master of the Rolls on the law mortniain, as it relates to grants of laud for building churches. The Mortmain Act, 9 Ge 0.11., c. In, provides that grants by deed of land for charitable purposes shall be void unless executed twelve months before the death of the grantor, and enrolled within six months, and "unless the same shall be made to take effect in pos. session for the charitable time intended immediately after the making thereof, and without any power of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation, clause, or agree ment whatsoever for the benefit of the donors or the grantors, or of any person or persons claiming under them." The later statute, 43 George IIL, c. 108, which was pissed for the encouragement of the building of churches and chapels in connexion with the church of England, gives power to pant or devise lands not exceeding five acme for that purpose by deed or will executed more than three months betore the death of the donor, but makes no exoeption of instruments containing • reservation of an interest to the donors. The present ease turned upon the construction of these two statutes. A lady wishing to loild and endow a church, granted in her life time two acres to trustees fur that purpose, the grant being absolute, and the deed being executed and enrolled in man ner provided by the Mortmain Act. But although the deed contained no reservation of interest to the grantor, it was alleged that she remained in possession of the land and also of the deed, and that no attempt was made to build • church upon it till after her death. By her will she left 11.,50W. towards building and endowing • ahur.S.l3l.Ptruottege-house, and school-room. The Master of the R ol ls bad decided, first, that although the conveyance was absolute, yet the grant was void under the Mortmain Act, he considering it established by the evidence that there had been an understanding between the parties that the grantor should retain the actual enjoyment of the property during her We ; and, secondly, that the defect in the grant was not cored by the Meer statute of 43 (leo. 111., c. 108, but that the same restrictions as to the reservation of in terest to the grantor remained in force with respect to con veyances for building churches under that act as existed previously. Their Lordahips, however, took • different view of the effect of the evidence in the cause, and held that the acts of apparent 011nership shown thereby were not sufficient w establish an understanding between the parties fur the reservation of an interest to the grantor; and that therefore the conveyance was a valid one under the statute, They held also that the sum left by will was also a Rood and valid bequest, being at money to be laid out in „..g already placed in mortmain. The appeal was argued in March last, wh en M t. R. Palmer, qc., Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., Mr. Selwyn, Q.c., y y Follett, Q.C., Mr. Chapman Barber, Mr. Dickinson, g r . Wickens, Mr. Eddie, Mr. B. L.

In Surat the business has spin been large, but without producing any material alteration from last week's rates, the demand having been freely supplied thereat. Speculators have taken 4,380 American and 100 Surat ,• and there are reported for export 3,810 American and 7,570 Surat. The market this morning opened with a fair in quiry ; the sales probably 10,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation and export. COTTON GOODS.—MAnceserrm MAY 4.—The demand continues moderately active for most kinds of fabrics suited to the Fast, including ahirtinp, T cloths, madapollams, and *meta, and prices are well sustained. A fair business has also been done during the week for South American and some other foreign markets. For the home trade there is still a demand for 'printing cloths, but the lateness of the spring has operated disadvantageously for the print trade so far w the home market is concerned. Domestics continue steady, and the demand for them is rather on the increase. The prices of most kinds of cloth now approximate to the quotations at the commencement of last month. In yarns, the animation reported on Tuesday continues. There may be rather lees business, but there is a constant demand springing up which gives life to the market, and fully sus. tains prices. Twist sod pin cops for the Blackburn market are in more active request in consequence of the large older* given out for light bailie shirting'.

THE IeiHrHOPOUSAN UNDIP.OHOUND RAILWAY.— An influential public meeting of the inhabitants, shop keepers, and occupiers of houses in the Euston-road and vicinity, was held yesterday afternoon, at Frampton's Musk-hall, Duke's-road, St. Pancras, to consider what steps should be taken to obviate the Barlous loss and inconvenience arising from the opening of the Euston•road, each side for the sewerage, and in the centre for the Metropolitan Rail way. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and reso lutions were passed for the formation of a Trade Protection Association, and the appointment of officers to be under the government of a committee. It was fu rther resolved that a case should be prepared to be laid before Mr. E. James (the borough member), for his opinion, whether there is not a remedy for the tradespeople and householders in the Easton-mad against the Metropolitan Railway Company, by way of compeneation or otherwise for the serious loss and inconvenience in business caused to them through the carrying out of the railway works. A subscription was en tered into, and a deputation appointed to wait upon the vestry at their neat sitting, to ask their assistance.
