There waa, however, an exception in regard to the Cape of Good* Hope, where printed papers were not sent beyond certain considerable towns in the colony.

Another complaint was with regard to the enormous cost of law reform. Now the only charge a ot le & kind which would appear in the estimates was a Vitiexpenditure el MOW • year in consequence of lttorney-Generare ppttccy Bill. If the hon. baronet supposed that the Maseellor of the Bit. chequer attecl nee demands Icon him with out quoin" he had better question the Attorney• General upon the sub*t, and he would find that he was quite under • mistake. The bill of his hon. friend had not been re ceived by the home or the country with any tokens of dis favour; and the boo. baronet would not at say rate pretend that • charge at the most of 20,0001. • year for tank =inform was say reason why be should cut off .or 900,0001. of income. His honourable and lamed friend (Sir R. Bothell) bad moreover convineed him that the enormous readiness of the present system drove business from the court ; and that time was therefore reason to think that the measure before the house would not only remedy • great grievance, but td Defusing bath barons to the court would cover a pint portion of the contemplated charge upon the dated f u fund. (Hear.) The hon. baronet then censured the government far giving up the paper duties, which be said lada• million and • half of revenue. (Heart hem) hl not stated the amount of the lass with ha Ind noeursey. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—I quoted a return. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The hon. baronet quoted • return which showed a gross sum of 1,432,00*. ; but the hon. gentleman did not consider the considerable deduction/ that were to be made frost that amount in order to get at the net yield of the tix. Nevertheless the duty did undoubted/4r produce • large amount of revenue, and the house had deter mined to with it by a large majority. (Hear, hear.) With to the expedition to China, it was obviously imposed, e, in the uncertainty which prevailed as to the nature of its operations, to state with precision the amount it would cost. It was hoped that it might be of • peaceful character; but, on the other hand, it might commence war like operations, the expense of which it would be impossible to predict. II the latter should unfortunately be the case the expedition had at any rate been fitted out on • scale which far exaseded that of any similar or. He (the right bon. gentle man) 'started its present coat at no tam than 2,500,0001. On the whole he submitted that the committee could not consistently with any principles of prudent finance accept the amendment of the hon. losironet. (Hear, hear.) _ . - - - Yr. W. VANBITTABT said the house and the country bed faith in the repeated aantrances of the right boa. and they looked forward to the present year for • reerlika. I net the abolition, of the income tax. Be sproteeted spire its being continued in ita proposed form, and certain other sums should be absorbed in the coming year from other sources. Besides, no provision bad been aids for the deka of upwards of 7,000,0001. The terminable annuitim falling in this month might have been devoted, am half to the reduction of the income tax, and the ether half to • reduirtion of the duties on tea and mom The people were unanimous in mtesting—(oh ob)--egaing this pew ing supnentation of the Mourne tax year atter year, and they disliked its glaring inconsistency, its absurd anomalies, and its cruel inequalities. He should vote for the amend , reset. (Hear, bear, and " Oh, oh.") Sir F. BARING said he wished to om that he should vote for the amendment of the hon. baronet, became be believed the income tax was the worst tax that scold be placed on the people. The committee divided : For the amendment 132 Against it Oa the resolution being put, Hr. W. E DUNOOMBE said that he felt it to be his duty to address a few observations to the house. (Oh, oh.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer bad failed to show any adequate reason for changing the whole course of the policy which be adopted in 1853. He had listened attentively to his speech —(oh, oh)—and he could discover nothing to in duce him to support this extraordinary demand upon their indulgence. ( • Hear, hear," "oh, oh," and laughter.) The hon. member proceeded to complain of the budget as being a tissue of inconaistency and concluded by expressing his conviction that it would produce, in connexion with the French treaty, distrust, want of confidence, and loss of in. Silence for England to the ends of the earth. The resolution was then put and agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then pro posed the resolution respecting dock warrants. After a few weeds from Mr. Hamm, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said thet dock warrants am% in his opinion, most properly subjected to a charge of 9d. An immense sacrifice of revenue had been trade for the general benefit of the trading classes, and the proposals of the government had upon the whole met with their unanimous acceptance. One portion of the defi ciency wee borne by the increased income tax; anothe= tins by such taxes se the present ld. on delivery orlon, end 3d. on dock warrants, which differed totally fro* deli very orders, for they constituted a security, a symbol of value, and money could be raised upon them. Dock war rants were in almost every case given for an amount of pro perty far greater than a delivery order, and were a totally different species of document, Mr. CRAWFORD thought the proposal a very fair one, and would vote for the amendment. After a brief discussion, Mr. T. HANKEY withdrew his amendment. The resolution was than a g reed t;)7 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER p roposed a resolution imposing a penny stamp duty upon delivery mien of all goods of the value of 40a. and upwards. After some explanation, the resolution was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER next pro posed • resolution impoaog new lutes of stamp duty upon Kohn es, drafta, orders, namely, of 10s. upon every 1,0001. or part of 1,0001., where the amount exceeded 4,0001., and 3s. It upon 1,0001., or lees than that amount. Is r on ier i y .b : • question the CHANCELLOR of the EX said that all cheques paid over the vaunter would be to the penny stamp, but not letters of ad. vice pusing from banker to hanker. He was not so certain until he received further information from the country bankers whether letters from customers to hanker" to pay should be liable to the stamp. He confessed he thought they should, but that might be discussed in com mittee on the bill. _ _ After • brief discussion the resolution was agreed to with • verbal amendment. _ _ _ The next resolution, enforcing • duty of • peony upon every oertified copy or extract from any register of.bis marriages, deaths, or burials, was speed W.

The bankrupt was • solicitor, at Partt ime* who had misappropriated large amounts of trust money. Further evidence was now given. Mn. Merriott, of Farnham, • widow, deposed that the bmtuhad been her solicitor and split. She was a cre dit,efor upwards of 8001. He had kept a sort of pans-book in which he entered the sums reamed from her as lent to a Mr. Trnerean ; and on being premed by her as to who and what Mr. ?men= was, he admitted that he was Mr. Trueman, and begged her not "to tell upon him." Mn. Caroline Payne, widow of Mr. John llanwaring Payne, stated that her bite husband and the bankrupt were co-executors under the wall of Mr. %otter, and in that capa city came into permission et bust funds to the amount of 18,0001. During her husband's illness, Evans assumed the sole management of the trust, and induced Mr. Payne to execute the power of attorney, whereby he was enabled to sell all the property out of the stocks, and invest it for his own purposes. Since her husband's death, she had been made • party to no less than ten Chancery suite, and bad been compelled to pay to the cestui qua trusts upwards of 22,0001., including interest and costa. During her bus band's lifetime • suit had been oommenced against the bankrupt for the restitution of the trust monies ; he sub mitted to a decree, and gave up some securities, which had realised very little. Mr. Henry Potter, solicitor, of Farnham, gave evidence as to the proceedings in Chancery taken against the bank rupt, in the comae of which it was discovered that he had rianoalled certain mortgages given in favour of himself and his eo-tenstea, Yr; Payne, so as to give priority to others nt,de in hie own !avow. ' Mr. Laramie having rimmed up the charges against the bi rtgley, on behalf of the bankrupt, said he did not intend to go into the facts of the csse, but had merely attended to watch it on behalf of the bankrupt's wife. He was enabled to state, from information obtained since the last meeting, that the afildavit as to personal service of summons on the bankrupt at Brighton was an utter mistake, for he had been out of the country for several weeks. The court was now asked, in tbe absence of the bankrupt, to refuse what he did not apply hr. Throughout the case it had not been shown or sug misted that the bankrupt had applied this money otherwise ' than in unfortunate speculations. Through the persuasion of others he had embarked in large building speculations at Aldershott, believing it to be • sort of El Dorado ; and there he had invested every shilling of his own money and that of his clients. Sympathy was naturally felt for the poor persons who had hat their money ; and no one felt this more than Mr. Evans himself. Were be present, he might have justified, or at least have explained his applica tion of those funds ; but in his absence it was impossible to know the cirmunetances under which those investments had been made. The case of Mrs. Payne was act OM of the gravest ; foraithough Mrs. Payne bad hate pay 22,000 t. out of bee husband's estate, the sale of the trust funds bad been made long before his death, and with hie consent. Mr. Payne and the bankrupt were therefore joint-speculators • the securities had been taken in theirjoint names ; and MIS: Paine had now posaserion of those securities. If Mr. Paine bad been deceived, it was only bemuse Mr. Evans himself had been deceived. TheCoertinia"iorer—Do you .. think it was boa/ ides in a solicitor to go to the bedside of a man in a state of great sedining, rad get hint, while in that state, to execute a power of 'Stormy, notwithstanding his wife protested against it—the attorney bringing his own clerk, with him to act as witnerees? XL Bagley mid this was only one of a series of transac tions. The agreement to sell out the stock might have been made before, and this might be merely the comple tion of the transaction. Supposing the matter agreed upon, the clerk was the most proper party to act as a witness. But in the absence of the Malaupt it, was. impossible to contradict anything the witnesses had said. The reasonable and proper comae would have been, in default of the bank rupt appearing, to adjourn the corniest° sitting sine die. He attributed this opposition to vindictive motives. His Honour expressed his dissent. Mr. Bagley must still entertain that opinion. The bank rupt, • pauper, self-exiled, must have suffered enough with out this public exposure ; but as the poet said, " Sweet is revenge, especially to worsen." (A laugh.) He submitted that the case ought not. to be de. tided to the extent of refusing the certificate in the absence of the bankrupt. His Honour strongly dissented from the imputation that bad been cast on the motives of the wittier's., and said that great praise was due to Mrs. Payne and others for having cane forward in the way they bad done. He should re serve his judgment. (Before Mr. Oommisioner Evans.) fs THE CORPORATIOM TIJOTACILANT COMPANT (LIMITED). This was the day Axed for hearing a petition presented by Mr. James Stodard, of No. 31, Cloodesiey-terrace, Islington, to wind up this company. Mr. Begley, for the company, (lid not resist an order for winding up being made. There was a clammy in the pro *peeing which prevented them calling on the shareholders until three months had elapsed, and in the meantime the creditors were pressing their claims. An order to wind up was accordingly made. HZ THE UNADOLTILEATID POOD COMPSNT.-DIVIDEND IfIZTIXO. This was a dividend meeting in the matter of the Un adulterated Food Company, for the of returning to the contributories part of the call y made upon them. The company was originally formed with the intention of preventing adulteration of food, and the proposed capital was to be 1,000,0001.

The learned CorninisaimEier made some strong remarks on the subject, and at coo dismissed the petition. The insolvent was arrested and taken to prison, intending to apply under the Prison Act. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) IN It CHARLES W. BROWN. In this cue Mr. Macrae opposed for • creditor on • former occasion, and the insolvent, • government clerk, pro- posed to pay his creditor Wt. a-year by quarterly pa ents.

HOME ClBOlHT.—Humerox, MARCH 23. The commission for the county of Surrey wu opened here this morning by Yr. Justice Viightman, at ten o clock, and his lordship afterwards went to church, and at 1 o'clock the Crown Court was opened, and the charge was delivered to the grand jury. There are 19 prisoners for trial, but the cause list will not be made up until to-morrow (Saturday), when the civil business will commence at 10 o'clock. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—HisaroaD, MAscH 23. The commission was opened here late on Thu-relay even by Mr. Baron Bramwell, on his arrival from Shrewsbury, where Mr. Justice Keating was detained until next day by the heavy nature of the aril business.

The calendar contains the names of 14 prisoners, 10 of whom, however, were commit ted for trial to the city 60116i011X, which Mr. Serjeant Pigott, the Recorder for Hereford, fixed for the Monday followiag the amines, thus throwing upon the judges the burden of delivering the poi. Mr. Baron Bramwell commented on this in his charge to the grand jury observing that his learned brother Pigott was paid for his services, and it was hard that he (the Judge) should have to do his duty, and the county grand and petty juries have to do duty fur those of the city. One prisoner Is committed for wilful murder, one for an unnatural offence, one for forgery, and the rest for felonies and misdemeanors of a lighter character. The owe tried to-day were devoid of public interest.

In order to strengthen it the engineer hes caused purpose placed six tiers of measles wooden piles or supports, three under each of the two arches.
