There has been no change in the discount market during the last few days, and it is expected to re main in its present position for some time to come, The Teutonia, from New York, has brought £58,990 in specie. There was rather an active demand for cotton yesterday in the Liverpool Market, and prices were firm. The sales were about 7,000 bales.

Mr. John Cattley in the chair. The report stated that only £1,700 had been received during the past year from the colony, and the directors consequently had not a sufficient amount of money in hand to pay a dividend. There has been no alteration in the Market for Public Securities to-day, and the principal attention of the members has been directed to the liquidation in foreign stocks and railway shares. Consols are 931 !- for transfer, and 932 I for account.

Consols, Money Ditto April Account PUGILISM. 80 8 BRETTLE, Or BIRMINGHAM, AND JOHN ROOKE, OP BIRMINGHAM, FOR £loo.—Pursuant to the arrangement made by the referee, these men met yesterday, for the second time, when, after a journey of some 50 miles from the metropolis, the ring was formed by the commissary on Well-known ground, which, however, has not of late been visited. Brettle had for his seconds Joe Wareham, of Bir mingham, and Boa Tyler, the latter having taken the place of Bob Travers (the black), who, the preceding day, bad the misfortune to fall into the river, while Joe Cobley, and a well-known retired member of the ring did the needful for Rooke. By 20 minutes to n o'clock the toilets of the men had been completed, and just before going to the ecratch, they la'd an even teener on the result. Though, round the ring, Brettle was the favourite, at 5 to 4, it was imagined Rooke, profiting from the fault committed at their former meeting, would, from the commencement, have forced the fighting, and avoided giving his oppo nent the least time for rest and manoeuvring; but instead of pursuing these tactics, which gave promise of gaining a leading advantage, he, to the surprise and annoyance of his partisans, adopted the cautious tactics of their two former Meetines, and kept entirely on the defensive, merely holding himself ready to counter when his antagonist led. Bob ilrettle, of course, was not disposed to throw away the least advantage his skill and experience might give. It must be borne in mind that Rooke had the advantage in height and reach, and why he did not make an effort to force the battle appears incomprehensible, and more especially as in the little fighting that did take place when the men got together he bad a shade the best of it. Had Rooke been opposed to any other man than his old master, from whom he took his first initiatory lessons in the art, there can be little doubt he would, as he has done before, make a rattling mill, for it is known he is by no means deficient in courage; but with Brettle he appeared totally incapable of displaying anything like the requisite dash and energy. In the whole four long and tedious rounds were got through, in the last of which the referee, finding the men stood looking at each other instead of getting to business, gave them a quarter of an hour to get to work. If nothing was done at the expi ration of that, time he would declare it a draw. There was not in the given time anything like business effected, there fore the affair ended in a drawn battle, the combatants having been in the ring one hour and 40 minutes. It is almost needless to state that all bets are off. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE Ma. ROBT. STEPHEN- C.E.—A beautiful memorial in the form of a " brass" has been let into the nave of Westminster Abbey, midway between the western entrance and the choir screen, to the illet " T Y of the above distinguished engine er, who, it will bo re membered, was interred near the spot in the latter part of 18 59.

DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.) BURROUGHS V. BURROUGHS AND SILCOCK. Thi morciug Sir F. Slade replied on the part of the petitioner, Mr. Burroughs, and the Judge Fummed up the evidence. The jury retired to consider their verdict at five minutes to three, and on their return, at five minutes to six, came into court and returned the following verdict : " Ist. That it had not been proved Mrs. Burroughs had been guility of adultery with the co-respondent. " 2d. That it had not been proved that Mr. Burroughs had been guilty of adultery with Miss West, Mrs. Black burne, and Ellen Reed." SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) POUND V. HALL AND OTHERS.-WHARPINGERS AND BONDED GOODS--IMPORTANT MERCANTILE INQUIRY. This was an action to recover £4 18s. under somewhat important circumstances, plaintiff being an extensive wine and spirit merchant, of Ccoper's-row, Trinity-square, and defendants, the well known wharfingers of Custom House Quay. Plaintiff said that he had brought forward this case en tirely on public grounds, as it was a somewhat serious matter. Some brandies, bonded in defendants' warehouses, had lost, in five months, in liquid and strength no less than fourteen proof gallons. And as the defendants had only offered £2, plaintiff felt justified in trying the question. Mr. White, Customs' guager, said he guaged the brandy in November last, it having been landed in June, and he found the loss to be 14 proof gallons. The average loss was 1 per cent. per annum, but this was a very inferior kind of spirit, and evaporated more quickly than a finer kind. The deficiency was large, but there were 30 sampling orders,and some tasting orders. Therefore the deficiency might be accounted for. Under other circumstances witnesses should have repotted the case to his superiors. The Cus toms allowed three gills to each sample, but with waste it would be nearer five gills. The casks are very deficient. Cross-examined by Mr. Jacobs, for defendants—l do not consider the deficiency excessive. No one could get into the vaults unless with the officer. Mr. Pound— You say the average loss upon spirits is 1 per cent. Are you aware that the loss on these is 17 per cent Witness—lt may be so. Mr. Pound—Then I hope it will go forth that you do not consider 17 per cent. excessive. The broker who sold the spirits to Mr. Pound said the quality was " good common brandy," and all spirits evapo rated alike. Mr. Pound could call evidence as to the casks. The Judge—The gauger's evidence is conclusive against you. Besides, if any of defendants' servants got into the vaults, how do you make Messrs. Hall liable P Mr. Pound—That has been decided. The Judge—lf defendants' servants pillaged your brandy, and from the evidence they did not, defendants are not liable. .. Mr. Pound—Very well. I only wish to do my duty with the public, and I consider that the brandy has been pillaged, and I hope it will go forth that 17 per cent. is not consi dered excessive. The Judge—The deficiency is accounted for, no one gett ug into the vaults except with an officer. Mr. Pound—l beg to say that is not correct, as I have been in myself and with no Customs offi cer. The Judge finally ruled that defendants were entitled to a verdict with costs. Verdict for defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( Thi s D a y.) 4- BOW-STREET. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.--Two young men, named William and James Bryan, were charged with assaulting the police. Police-constable 6 F said—This morning, about half-past 4, I found the prisoner William Bryan quarrelling with another person about a coat. I told them to go away, but instead of doing so Bryan turned and struck me a violent blow on the temple. A struggle took place, when James Bryan came up, and he also struck me. Another constable came up, and both were secured. The evidence having been confirmed, Both prisoners said the policeman had been drinking rum in a public-house, and because they had told him of it, he took them into custody. 101 i The Magistrate fined them 10s. each, or 14 days' im prisonment. CATCHING A TARTAR.—Thomas Sturges and Henry Stearm were charged with picking pockets, and assaulting Professor Harrison, "one of the strongest men in the world." Sergeant Holmes of the F division, said—This morning about half-past 11 he saw the prisoners following gentle men in Long-acre. Curtis, after examining the pockets of a gentleman, he put his left hand into the left side pocket and drew a silk handkerchief therefrom. Sturges was acting as covering him. I crossed over with the intention of taking the prisoner into custody, but they both ran off. Mr. Harrison, the gentleman I was in conversation with, followed one of the men, whilst I pursued the other. On Mr. Harrison coming up with Stearm he assaulted him. I found two handkerchiefs on the person of Stearm, and one down the leg of Sturgis. 11f 2f Mr. Harrison, landlord of tho Opera Stores, Brydges street, said—My attention to the pocket-picking was directed by Holmes. After the handkerchief had been taken I saw Holmes run after Sturges, and I followed Stearm. On coming up with him he struck a blow, and, in attempting to secure him by the collar, my fist went against his nose. (Laughter.) Stearm--Went against my nose I why, it was a regular hot 'tin. He clawed my face, your worship, and nearly choked me. _ _ _ Sturges said nothing in answer to the charge. Both prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A " MRS. Gmur."—Elizabeth Williams, an old Scotch woman, was charged before Mr. Yardley with being drunk and begging. The defendant, who has been charged at this court about 150 times with drunkenness and begging, is a monthly nurse, and is a source of great trouble to the police. Buvey, 85 C, proved seeiug the defendant seize hold of a gentleman and beg, being drunk at the time. _ Mr. Yardley—Why, here you are again. It is only about a week ago since you were here last. Barnes, the gaoler, said that the defendant had been three times to the court since his worship last committed her for a month. Defendant, with a broad Scotch accent, said she had been suddenly called out to one of her ladies. Flu) didn't want to beg, as she had an income as long as she lived from her mother's brother, James Thompson. Mr. Yardley—You are one of the most expensive bur dens in the kingdom, as you pass the greater part of your time in prison. I shall see if we can't get some of your means and apply it to support you while in prison. Defendant—The police insult me by calling me "Mother Williams." Mr. Yardley—lf any one does so I will punish them ; but you have told me so many lies when you have been before me that I cannot believe you. Defendant—lndeed I know myself better. I had better bringings up than to tell lies. (Laughter.) Bovey said she was so drunk that she could scarcely walk. Defendant—l'm a nurse, and upon my honour I had only had a cup of tea. I hope I know myself better than to drink. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—l shall commit you for three days. —Defendant—When I come out I'll— Mr. Yardley—What P Defendant (who evidently was swatch for the magistrate), after a pause—Come and see you again. (Loud laughter.) Defendant left the bar evidently pleased at escaping a longer term of imprisonment. THE MANSLAUGHTER BY A PARIVI'DOCTOR. This morning the adjourned inquest on Mrs. Cruse was held by Mr. John Humphreys, at the Salisbury Arms, Eastfield-street, Limehouse. The facts led to the conclu sion that Mr. Frederick Robinson, surgeon, of 10, Wilson-• street, Limehouse, and ono of the medical effects of Stepney - Union, had been guilty of undue care and gross neglect in his attendance on the woman in question when he was called on to attend her about two hours after her delivery, and, that in doing so, he so fax did not exercise due pro fessional skill, but caused her death. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " manslaughter" against Mr. Robinson, who was at once committed on the coroner's warrant. ~, SHARE 3L4RKE7'-(THIS DAY.)

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Our market - , to-day, was but moderately supplied with beasts ; nevertheless, all breeds met a dull inquiry, at Mon day's decline in the quctations. The general top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs. Sheep—the show of which was limited —changed hands slowly, at late rates. The best Downs, in the wool, realised 5s 4d—out of the wool, 4s 8d per 81bs. There was a fair demand for lambs, at from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 81bs. About MO came to hand from the Isle of Wight. No change took place in the value of calves ; but the veal trade was somewhat heavy. Pigs and mulch cows were very dull, at barely stationary prices. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

ATTEMPTED MURDER A 2 SHADWELL Yesterday morning, shortly before 3 o'clock, a most determined attempt at murder took place at Shadwell. _ It appears that the attack was made upon a young man, named Robert Pain, aged 26 years, a native of Greenwich, who had been cohabiting with a prostitute at a brothel. in Shadwell. At the time above named he had been drinking at several pub lie-houses in Ratcliff-highway, and was accompa nied by his female companion, and just as they reached the door of the place where he lived, he exclaimed, "Oh God, lam stabbed." There were several women near him, and the wounded man fell upon the ground, when he was found to be bleed ing from a wound in the chest. A messenger was sent for medical assistance, but the woman who it is alleged stabbed him escaped, and was not secured. Dr. Ross, of High-street, attended, and bandaged up the wound, which was found to be three inches in length, and of considerable depth, passing through the fourth and fifth ribs. No time was lost in conveying him in a cab to the London Hospital, where he now remains in a very dangerous state. He has not the least idea of the person who inflicted the wound on his person, but he feels satisfied it was done by a female. A working carpenter of Stuttgara, named Sigel, has been ordered for trial on a charge of having cut off the long hair of a number of young girls in that city. Fifteen magnificent plaited braids of hair were discovered at his lodgings. COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Can.

E TVANDE_RING MINSTRELS. • The concert in aid of the Brompton Hos pita took place on Tuesday night, and more than came up to what had been anticipated. The audience one of the most brilliant ever assembled in St. James's-hall, was also one of the most indulgent— liberal of applause where the effort to please was manifest, and ultra-liberal where, as more than once occurred, earnest endeavour was rewarded by success. In short, the performances were enjoyed from first to last, and in frequent instances appre ciated with such downright heartiness as must have greatly flattered the amateur singers and players who were induced to make a public exhibition of their talents on behalf of a very useful and com mendable charity. When this concert was originally projected it was intended that the proceeds should be handed over to the fund for the relief of the families of those who suffered in the Hartley Col account for a co ns pi cuous f eature iCol liery—which r t y h — e w p h ro ic g li m ram a tTne, viz., an ode upon that lament able calamity, written by Mr. Shirley Brooks, and set to music by the Hon. Seymour Egerton. The music is divided into five parts, respectively fitted to each change of rhythm adopted by the poet —a recitative, accompanied (Mr. Underdown) ; a pa rt song for five voices (chorus); a recitative for tenor (Herr Kumpel) ; a ballad, for tenor ; and a final chorus. The striking numbers are the five-part song (" When the laurel wreath is woven"), and —not withstanding the close resemblance of one particular passage to a prominent theme in Weber's overture, " The Ruler of the Spirits"—the final chorus. The execution was, for the most part, highly creditable ; and the audience not only encored the part-song, but unanimously recalled the composer at the ter mination of his work. The ode was preceded by Beethoven's overture to " Egmont ;'' the first tenor air and a chorus (" Yet doth the Lord see it not") from "Elijah" (solo singer Herr Ktimpel); and the Barcarole from Professor Sterndale Bennett's fourth pianoforte concerto—a beautiful composition, as all amateurs are aware, and played to perfection, as all amateurs will believe, when it is stated that Millie. Angelina Goetz was the player. The second part of the concert began with the overture to " Guil laume Tell (encored) and ended with the overture to "Oberon" —both orchestral masterpieces offering difficulties to players of long professional experience, and therefore doubly trying to amateurs, with whom the practice of music is an occasional means of re laxation. The " Guillaume Tell" overture, more over, was immediately followed by the elaborate in troduction to that magnificent opera, for chorus and solo voices (solos by Mr. Tom Hohler, Dr. Lavies, Mr. Frank Skey, and Mr. Underdown—two tenors and two basses), which together with the adagio from Mendelssohn's Symphony in A minor (" Scotch"), also introduced in the second part of the programme, gave further proofs that in some in stances ambition slightly outweighed discretion. Horsley's glee "By Celia's Arbour ; Mr. J. L. Hal ton's arrangement of " My love is like the red red rose" as a part-song for chorus (extremely well given), a cleverly-written solo for cornet-a-pistons (with accompaniments for the orchestra), the com position of Mr. Frederick Clay, performed by Mr. A. B. Mitford ; and two vocal solos—an aria from Donizetti's " Dom Sebastiano" and Gordigiani's " Un Ricordo"—both sung with remarkable taste, the first (encored) by Mr. Tom Hohler, the last (and, though not encored, the best) by a gentleman whose name we could not learn, completed the pro gramme. The orchestra, consisting of upwards of 70 performers (30 from the ranks of the " Wander ing Minstrels") was conducted, with the nerve and decision of an old practitioner, by the Hon. Seymour Egerton. The chorus numbered something short of 200, and in each department —soprano, alto, tenor, and bass—voices of rare strength and fresh ness were detected. Singers and players were ex clusively amateurs. FRESII ASSYRIAN DISCOVERIES BY A 5.11? HENRY RA WLINSON. Sir Henry Rawlinson has written to the Aths nceum, giving the result of some recent investiga tions of the Assyrian tablets in the British Museum. London, Feb. 28, 1E62. In examining the many fragments of the historical tablets of Ashur-bani-pal, the son of Eser• Haddon, which crowd the shelves of the British Museum, with a view of arranging, if possible, one complete copy of the annals for publication, I have, within these few days, lighted upon a passage which had previously escaped my observation, but which I have now found repeated in a more or less perfect state on several of these mutilated terracotta records. The possage is of great interest, as it furnishes the first point of undoubted contact between Greek and Assyrian history, and I hasten, therefore, to announce the discovery. Ashur-bani-pal states as follows :—" Gyges was King of Lydia, a country on the seashore, and so far off that the kings, my fathers, who reigned before me, had never even heard the name of it. In obedience to my royal proclama tion—(the proclamation is given at length, and invites all people to do homage and offer tribute to Ashur-bani-pal, King of Asyria, on pain of incurring the vengeance of Ashur, King of the Gods)—the said Gyges sent his officers to my presence to propitiate me ; and they brought with them some Cimmerian slaves whom they had t•ken in battle when those tribes invaded Lydia, together with a heavy tribute. They brought these things before me at Nineveh, and they kissed my yoke." This Lydian tribute was brought to Nineveh, it would seem, early in the reign of Ashur-bani• pal, perhaps as early as B.C. 660; but the event could hardly have occurred anterior to that date, and we must either, therefore, re duce by some 20 years the ordinarily received chronology, or we must suppose the Gyges of the inscriptions to be the Ardys of Herodotus. The Cimmerian invasion favours the latter explanation ; but, on the other hand, we must re member that a passage of Dionysius (tom. vi., p. 773, Reiske) does actually fix the commencement of the Lydian kingdom as late as B.C. 698, so that Gyges, who reigned 38 years, would have been still living in n.o. 660. It is fur ther ethnologically interesting to find that the Scythians, who invaded Lydia in the seventh century rec., and whom Herodotus calls Cimmerians, were really the same people as the Sacra of later history; the title of Gimirri, which is used in this passage of Ashurbani-pal's annals (and pre viously, for the first time, in the annals of Esar-Haddon), being the Assyrian equivalent for the Persian Saca in the trilingical inscriptions of Darius Hystaspes. Whether this name of Gimirri, however, has any real connexion with the modern Cymri, or Celts. is, I think, exceedingly doubtful. H. C. RAWLINSON. London, March 4. P.S.—Since writing the above I have continued ray search among the hitherto unexamined tablets of the British Museum, and have been rewarded by further dis coveries. Upon a broken clay tablet belonging to the Biblical Tiglath-Pileser I have found an epitome of the historical events of this monarch's reign from his first to his seventeenth year. The campaigns described are-1. In Babylonia ; 2. In Media and Armenia ; 3. In Asia Minor; and 4. In Syria ; and the narrative throughout is far more detailed than on the slabs, with which alone we have been previously acquainted. In the Syrian chapter, for in stance, after the usual lists of kings who brought their tribute to Tiglath-Pileser in his eighth year, and among whom, as is already kn own, are Menahem of Samari d Resin of Damascus, we have a supple mentary Hira m of Tyre, an Samaria, list of the tributary kings of Southern Syria, which is entirely new, and which, although unfortunately imperfect owing to a fracture in the tablet, still preserves the names of the kings of Arced, Beth Ammon, Moab, Ascalon, Judaea, Edom, and Gazah. The name of the Jewi-h king ought, according to the Scriptural narrative, to be Ahaz ! but on the tablet we find Jeho-ahaz (or, as it is written in Assyrian in the oblique case, Yahu-khazi). What are we to suppose from this? Was it really the case that the Assyrians did not know the names of the foreign kings who brought or sent them tribute ; mistaking Pekah for his predecessor Menahem, and confounding Ahaz, king of Judah, with Jeho-ahaz, king of Israel, who reigned a century earlier P or has the Hebrew nomenclature come down to us in a corrupted state ? There can be no doubt whatever, from the general concurrency of the chronology, as well as from the mention of Resin of Damascus, that the Tiglath-Pileser the Second of the Assyrian annals is the same king whose Syrian expedition is described in 2 Kings xiv.; (?) yet it is equally certain that, instead of the Pekah and Ahaz of the Bible, we have the cuneiform names of Menahem and Jeho-ahaz for the contemporary monarchs of Israel and Judah, The tablet of Tiglath-Pileser, which I am now describ ing, is, like all other monuments of this monarch, entirely e silent as to his ancestry, thus affording strong negative evidence that he was a usurper, and initiate d to a e second eery close lower dynasty of Assyria ; and it also Pointe close connection in time between Tiglath " gon, the names of the tributary ki n gs which enumerates Pile ser and Saryr being, for the most part, the same whose conquests is narrated on really the intervene between e " t h o es of the monarchs m arbles of Khorsabad. If the reign of Shalmaneser did that of Tiglath•Pileser and that of Sargon, it could have been but of very short duration . Merodach-Baladin, in deed, —who is stated at Khorsabad t o haventheee son cled of Y throne of Babylrnin the same year th a t Sargon commenced his reign at Ninevah—was already i n ascended ertle power when cemm encement of his career, invaded of the Euph rates. Ba b y l o nia; though at that ti me, i t is theat t he o v u e t r h y on the sea -coast, an true, his dominion seem s to have been confined to th e Tiglath-Pilecsi ear,t terri toryC R • • .

The Earl of HARDWICKt, presented petitions from places in Cambridge against the Revised Code. Lord BELPER presented similar petitions from Neath. The Bishop of WORCESTER presented a number of petitions to the same effect. Earl CARNARVON and Lord CRANWORTII also presented petitions of a similar nature. The Earl of DERBY presented petitions from places in. Lancashire against the revised code. . _ CARMARTHONSHIRE RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Lord RE DESDALE this bill was read a second time. THE ITALIAN PROCLAMATION. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that he in tended to move for further papers connected with the recent proclamation that was embraced in the notice that already stood in his name on the paper for Monday nest. y THE LAW LAW OF LUNACY BILL. The Earl of DERBY said he felt it his duty, in court:- quence of what had fallen from the noble lord on the wool sack, to occupy their attention for a short time, while he vindicated himself from a charge of inconsistency. He had sent the noble and learned lord notice of his inten tion to bring the subject before their lordships, and the point he wished particularly to mention was that he (the Earl of Derby) had been charged with objecting to a clause brought forward by the Lord Chancellor to which he had previously assented to in a bill which had been in troduced into Parliament by his hon. and learned friend Sir H. Cairns. He did not know that he could better vindicate himsel ffrom that charge of inconsistency than by giving notice that when their lordships went into committee on tho bill ho should move that the clause in Sir H. Cairns's be substituted for that which at present formed part of the bill. The clause to which he referred made it compulsory that all jury trials of commissions of lunacy should be taken before one of the superior judges in place of, as at present, before one of the masters. N ow the clause in his learned friend's bill did not go to that ex tremity, but it gave a p ,wer to the effect that in certain cases the trials might be taken before one of her Majesty's judges, ile been certainlycou noldnbolte and ass learned lordenttothes ontatement that had madeth e proposal by the the wool sac k in his bill was the sam e as th at contained thatin Sir H. Cairns's measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR acknowledged the cour tesy of the noble earl in sending him notice of his intention to bring the subject under the attention of the house that evening, and he could but regret that remark which had H e c o u l v d i z n . ot, thathowever, t he two proposalsalter the tell from him during the time th e bill t o which he referred opinionwas u n d t e h r a d t i h s ceu thenssion expressed,. were in effect the same. [LEPT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tats EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Major O'REILLY, who was introduced by Major Gavin and the O'Conner Don, took the oaths and his seat on his election for Longford. The hon. and gallant member took his place below the gangway on the Ministerial side of tho house. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dartmouth and Torbay Railway Bill was considered, and ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Some petitions were presented in favour of an amend mend of the Irish Poor Law, against the Re'vised Code of Education, from the Leeds Chamber of Commerce for the prevention of fraudulent trade marks, &c., &c. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN INDIA. In reply to Mr. WHITIC, Sir C. WOOD said that he believed there had been some inefficiency in the telegraph service in India, because the signals were not as perfect as they ought to have been. An inquiry had been instituted by the authorities in India, and the result was that the service in question was reor ganised. The appointments alluded to were credit able, because the gentleman on whom they were conferred had very high qualifications for the offices. He was not aware that there had been any im proper appointments made in India, and the Government did not interfere with the same except under some special circumstances. METROPOLITAN BISHOP IN CANADA. Mr. A. MILLS asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a patent, dated July 9, 1961, appoint inz a metropolitan bishop in Canada, had been returned to the Colonial-office for revision ; and whether the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called to the cir cumstance that the patent in question may involve an in fraction of the provisions of the Act 19 and 20 Vic. c. 121, of the Canadian Parliament, by which the appointment of all ecclesiastical functionaries within the province was vested in the Canadian synods. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the patent in question had been returned to the proper quarter for revision. It was considered desirable to make an alteration in the patent to meet the altered state of circumstances that had arisen. MANAGEMENT OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty to state the course that was intended to be pursued by the Board of Admiralty, to carry out the recommendations of the royal commission-appointed to inquire into the management of Greenwich Hospital. Lord C. PAGET said he understood his hon. and gallant friend's question to refer to the re-introduction of the bill of last session. The Government had no such intention, in consequence of tho unfavourable manner in which the measure had been received by both houses of Parliament.

If they reversed their decision it would form a precedent on which they would be asked to carry out the original plan, and to incur a large annual expenditure for that purpose. Mr. B. OSBORNE objected to the proposal of the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Lewis) having been delayed until new, for before this evening they had no knowledge of the scheme propounded by Government. He remembered the vote last session was granted at midnight on the 12th of June in a rather hurried manner, and he, amongst other mem bers, was under the impression that all candidates for com missions were to spend 12 months at Sandhurst. It ap peared, however, that such was not the case. He consi dered that it was most desirable that all candidates for the army should have a special training before they joined a regiment, instead of at present coming from the university without any special knowledge of their m profession, and the result was that unnecessary expeusetThe incurred.
