1110 KEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'Ctocx. A moderate amount of business is reported in the general discount market, which continues in an exceedingly easy condition, owing to the abundant supplies of floating capital. There were no important gold operations at the Bank of Engiand yesteruay. A further supply of gold, viz., £132,850, has been announced this morning from Australia by the Queen of Nations. The suspension was announced yesterday after noon of Alderman Sir Henry Muggeridge, trading as Sir Henry and Edward Muggeridge, corn factors, with liabilities estimated at between £150,000 and £200,000. The failure has also taken place of Messrs. J. and E. Moor, warehousemen, for about £7,000. Continued quietude was apparent in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices had a downward tendency. The sales were about 5,000 bales. Intelligence was received in the City this morn ing of the sudden death of Mr. Duncan Dunbar, at his private residence at Porchester-terrace, the well-known shipowner of Limehouse. The deceased was extensively knoll n in commer cial circles, owing to the large number of vessels he possessed, and his connection with various public companies, either in the capacity of chairman or director. He attended in the City yesterday, exhibited his usual cheerfulness, and was apparently in perfect health. This morning, however, he suddenly expired while in the act of dressing. The deceased was chairman of the Lon don Chartered Bank of Australia, deputy-chairman 'of the East and West India Docks, on the direction of the Marine Insurance Company, Lloyd's Regis try, and the Shipowners' Society. It is supposed that he amassed a considerable fortune. The settlement of the speculative account has been the only business of importance attended to in the English Stock Market to-day. Very few fresh transactions have taken place, and the general aspect of the market has been quiet in consequence. Consols are 931 f i for transfer, and 93Z for April.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE MARTLEBCNE munnrn. Henry Quail, homes Cox, Wm. Poulton, and Thomas Walsh, who were convicted of the manslaughter of Mr Wincott, a butcher in South-street, Manchester-square, were this morning brought up for sentence. All the prisoners begged for mercy, as they had never before been convicted of any offence, and they never in tended to commit the crime of which they had been con victed. Mr. Baron Martin said that, in the first instance, on reading the depositions, he could not find anything to re duce the crime of the prisoner Quail below that of wilful murder ; but upon the facts that came out at the trial, he was perfectly satisfied with the verdict that had been found. He probably did not intend to commit the act of which he had been found guilty, but it was the duty of the Court to pro tect the public from such outrages by drunken men, and the sentence on him would be penal servitude for the space of six years. With respect to the other prisoners the case was very different. They did not take any active part in the transaction. The circumstances against them were more of inferences that might be drawn from the peculiar cir cumstances of the case, and he did not suppose that they had any intention that the man should be killed. The jury had strongly recommended them to mercy, and the Chief Baron thought that, a heavy punishment having been inflicted upon Quail, the justice of the case might be met by a more lenient sentence. He should therefore sentence them each to undergo nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Elton was indicted for the manslaughter of John Gould. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased and the prisoner were in the New Cattle-market on the 21st of February. The latter having bought a horse, some joking or chaffing was going on, which appeared greatly to annoy him. Gould was standing near the prisoner when he raised the stick, which had a pointed nail or goad at the end, and thrust it into the unfortunate man's left eye. A police con stable came up, and the prisoner vas taken into custody. The injured man was conveyed to the Great Northern Hospital, where his wound was dressed, and afterwards taken to his home, but the next day he became insensible, and be was then taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he died on the following day. Mr. Stevens, the house surgeon, stated that he had made a post mortar; examination of the wound and found that the instrument which had inflicted the injury had penetrated four inches, causing inflammation of the brain, and ulti mately paralysis. Death resulted from the wound, and the stick put into his hand would cause the injury. He had no doubt about the cause of the unfortunate man's death. Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoner, contend< ing that the chaffing he had received about buying an "old screw" had incensed him very much, and as he had but lately been discharged from a lunatic asylum he ought not to be judged in the same manner as a sane person. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Ribton handed in a certificate, which s t a t e d th a t th e ereceived rg in edtoas the cured in September the asylum on the 23d of A P r u i s g o ti n ; r , h lB a 6 d l, b e a e n n d same year. Mr. Baron Martin characterised the offence as a most savage act, and said he did not think he should be doing justice if he passed a lenient sentence en him. He should, therefore, order him to be kept to penal servitude for the space of six years. CHARON OF ARSON, George Pearce, labourer, 26, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of oats, the property of Samuel Hunt, near Uxbridge. The prisoner was seen smoking near the st ac k o f oa t s , butuponbneiont to b gtak e en fou in n t d. o custody ) the pipe he had been using was The jury acquitted the prisoner NEW COURT.

The assault took place in Blue Coat-fields, in the east of London, the prosecutor being stabbed in th e h ea d an d arms.

BURGLARY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) John Woods and John Clarke were indicted for felo niously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. Cheasley, at Brentford, and stealing therefrom several articles of wearing apparel. The jury found both prisoners guilty. A previous conviction for telony was proved agatuat Clark, for which he was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The learned judge sentenced Woods to three years and Clarke to 10 years' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OP BIGAMY. This charge against Mrs. Barbary Wilson, which was reported in The Sun when the lady was examined at Bow street, came on this morning. It appeared that certain affidavits which had been ordered to be filed by the defendant had not been served when it was stated they had been posted. The Recorder expressed his disapproval of such a course, and consented to an application that the case should stand over till next session, affidavits to be delivered 10 days be fore the commencement of the session. Defendant's counsel (Mr. Giffard) produced a letter from Toronto bearing upon the case, and the Recorder ordered it should be embodied in the affidavits, as the prosecutors were entitled to information as to its contents. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE IN A NIGHT-HOUSE.—VIOLENT ASSAULT.— Annie White, alias Feltham, a stylishly-attired female, re siding at Stanley-street, Pimlico, was charged with vio lently assaulting the waiter of a night refreshment-house, 63, Haymarket. • The complainant, whose name was undecipherable on the charge-sheet, said the defendant came into the house at 2 that morning, and seated herself by the side of a gentleman, and as the gentleman would not pay for any refreshments for her, she called for some, and then refused to pay for them. He attempted to put her out, when she set to throw ing the cups and saucers at him, and then threw a heavy glass sugar basin at him, cutting his head and covering his face with blood. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the basin must have been thrown with force, as it was very thick. A witness having corroborated the complainant, The defendant said complainant had destroyed her bonnet. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 405., and in default one month's imprisonment. Sarah Morgan, a young woman, was charged with as saulting Mr. Mason, of the White Bear Hotel, Piccadilly, by throwing a glass in his face, and Mr. Tyrwhitt com mitted her for six weeks without a fine. THE SHADOW ON THE WALL—A DOITHTFIIL CASE..-- Ann Gilbert, a well-dressed female, was charged with rob bing George Charles Mullins, a clerk, residing at 4, Oxford,- terrace- The complainant said he had been to a patty, and met the prisoner and accompanied her to a house in Arundel court, and after being there a few minutes he saw by the prisone►'s shadow on the wall that t.he was robbing him. He then told her that if she gave up his money he would let her go, and as she would not do so he gave her into custody. A constable said both prosecutor and prisoner were quite sober. Prisoner said prosecutor promised her ss. and to pay her cab fare home. Some money dropped out of prosecutor's pocket, and he then said she was robbing him. The constable said nothing was known of the prisoner. Prisoner said prosecutor stopped some time with her, and gave her nothing. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a very doubtful sort of case, and remanded the prisoner. CAUTION TO RERESHMENT HOUSE ICREPERS..-IVIT. Isaac Isaacs, the keeper of a night refreshment house in the Haymarket, known as " Sally's," appeared to answer the complaint of Inspector Webb, of the C. Division, for selling beer without a license on Sunday morning the 23d ult. _ _ ----- Inspector Walker, of the C division proved visiting the defendant's house at 2 a.m. on Sunday, the 23d inst., and seeing a man lying on a sofa, a female sitting near him, and a glass of ale under the sofa, the waiter attempting to hide a second glass, and a tankard with ale in it in the chef- fionier. The defendant said he sent his waiter for a bottle of ale to Mr. Thompson's. and the waiter who was called, said he gave ls. for it, but Mr. Thompson was called, and said tie never sold the defendent any bottled ale, and that the price of it was 10d. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fining the defendant 20s. and costs, said that he did not believe the ale had been fetched from Mr. Thompson's, but from below at the defendant's, and that if the defendant was summoned again he would be fined much heavier. SALE OF THE DRAPERS'ALMSHOUSES.—Yesterday the Drapers' Almshouse!, Coopers'-row, Crutched-friars, which were founded by Sir John Melbourne, Knight, A.D. 1635, and presented objects of high i n t eres t t o th e anti quarian, were sold by auct ion, preparatory to being de molished for the purposes of metropolitau improvemouts. SHOCKING DEATH IN A BROTHEL. Yesterday afternoon, Robert Whitty, John Dunage, and Elizabeth Pratt, the latter, an unfortunate girl, were brought before Mr. Combe, at Southwark Police-court, by Mr. Inspector Reed, A division, charged on suspicion by causing the death of Jane Rayor, aged 40, at Tiverton street, Newington-causeway, by acts of violence; also with attempting to set the house on fire. Mr. Henderson, the superintendent of the fire brigade of the district was in attendance to watch the proceedings on befalf of the insurance offices. Inspector Reed said that he was on duty at the Stones end Police statiion, on the previous night, and about twenty minutes past twelve he was informed that a female had been murdered at No. 11, Tiverton-street, Newington-causeway, and that the house had been set on fire with the view of consuming the body. He proceeded there at once, and on forcing the street-door open he saw a female lying in the passage, apparently burnt to death. On entering the place there was a strong smear of burnt flesh, and he perceived that the clothes had been consumed, and that the body was much charred. He also discovered a wound on her head. Mr. Combe—Where was she lying when you first dis covered her? Inspector Reed—Just inside the door, at the end of the passage. Mr. Combe--What part of the house was burnt ? Mr. Henderson—No part of the house ; but the paper and the skirting-board in the passage and bed-room was a little scorched. Inspector Reed further informed his worship that the prisoner Whitty and the deceased cohabited together, and kept a brothel. The other prisoners came there, to sleep in the other room, and while they were there the deceased appeared to have quarrelled with Whitty. He (Inspector Reed) believed that it would be as well to make witnesses of the girl .and Dunage, as they could give some insight into the occurrence. Mr. Coombe asked if any blood was traced from the room to the door where he found the deceased lying? Inspector Reed replied in the negative. Mr. Coombe ordered the female to be released from cus tody, and sworn. She stated that her name was Elizabeth Pratt, and that she was an unfortunate girl. She knew the deceased as keeper of a brothel at No. 11, Tiverton-street, Newington' causeway. About half•past eleven on the previous night witness met the prisoner Dunage, and accompanied him to deceased's house. She was at home with Whitty at the time, and they appeared to have quarrelled, but they had made it up. About twelve o'clock witness and Dunage entered their bedroom, and they had not been there more than ten min ites before they heard the other door open, and Whitty calling out " Fire." Witness instantly opened their door, and saw deceased rush down stairs enveloped in flames. Mr. Combe—Had you heard the deceased call out before that happened Witness—No, sir; I never heard her speak after we left her and Whitty in the room. They seemed good friends then. As soon as I saw her run past me in flames I opened the window and called out "Fire" and " Police I" Did you see and blood marks in the passage or on the stairs ?—No, sir. Mr. Henderson informed his worship that they had examined those places, and there were no marks of blood to be seen. The inside handle of the door was broken off, and he considered it most likely that she fell against that and caused her death. Mr. Combe here ordered Dunage to be discharged, and examined as a witness, as he did not think that he was in any wife ccncerned in causing the woman's death. James Dunage was then sworn, and stated that he was an engineer at Woolwich. About eleven o'clock at night he met the witness Pratt in the Borough, and accompanied her to the house of the deceased. Whitty was then going out at the door. When witness and Pratt got upstairs they saw the deceased, and she appeared to have been drinking. About ten minutes afterwards Whitty came into the room where they were, and he said something about going out. The deceased called out that he should not go without her, and then they both left the house. They returned about twelve, and appeared to be quarrel ling, when witness and Pratt went into the other room. They had not been in bed ten minutes before they heard some one call out in the other room. Pratt got out of bed and listened, and in a minute or two they heard some one call out "Fire I" Witness and Pratt pulled their door open, and he saw some one pass him enveloped in flames. Witness thought the house was on fire at first, but a moment afterwards Whitty came running up, ex claiming, " She's burnt to death I She's dead, she's dead 1" Mr. Combe asked whether there was a fire in the de ceased's grate. Witness replied that there was a good fire there. Pratt here informed his worship that the deceased wore a very large crinoline, and was undressed when she left the room. Witness should think it was likely that the crino line caught fire. Mr. Combe here asked whether the prisoner Whitty had made any statement about the occurrence. Inspector Reed replied that he had not. Mr. Combe then told Whitty that he might make any statement he liked, but he cautioned him that what he said would be taken down and might be used against him. Witness said he had nothing to fear, as he had done no harm to the deceased. He then said that he had lived with her about a week at 11, Tiverton-street, Newington causeway. There were only two rooms over a gateway, one of which they occupied, and the other the deceased let out. On the previous evening he came home, about six o'clock, a little the worse for liquour, and seeing she was rather quarrelsome he walked away, and went to a neighbouring public-house. At a late hour the deceased and the witness Pratt came for him, and they all went to another public-house, and he treated them to something to drink. A little before 12 they went home, and after Pratt and Dunage had gone to their room he sat in a chair by the fire. The deceased, who was undressed, came up to him with her back to the fire and kissed him, at the same time stooping down just as she was saying, " I'll kiss you before I go to bed," her clothes suddenly became all in a blaze, and sb . e screamed out. He seized hold of her and attempted to tear the clothes from her, but she was too strong for him, and rushed out of the room down the stairs towards the door. He followed her down with a counterpane, when be saw her lying insensible near the street door. He called out for assistance, and then it was discovered that she was dead. That was all he knew about the affair, Mr, Combe asked Inspector Reed whether therer was any reason to doubt the man's statement. Inspector Reed replied that there was not. Dr. Towns end was called in to examine the deceased, and he might be able to state the cause of death. Mr, Combe asked if ha.was in attendance. The Inspector replied that be was not, but an inquest would shortly be held, when he would give his testimony. Mr. Combe accordingly remanded the prisoner until after :he inquest, but admitted him to bail. THIS DA I 'S SHIPPING.

THE ITALIAN TARIFF.—At a meeting of the Newcastle and Gateshead Chamber of Commerce, held this week—Mr. C. Allhusen in the chair—the secretary stated that a letter had been received from the Board of Trade, dated the 28th of February, in which the board desired to receive the opinion of the chamber as to the effect of the tariff of Customs now in force in Italy on British trade. Mr. Barker desired to know whether the Customs' tariff existing in the ex-kingdom of Naples had been absorbed into the tariff of the Sardinian Government, or whether the old tariff of the kingdom was still in force. The chairman said that he had asked the same question of the Board of Trade, and the answer was, that the Neapolitan had been absorbed in the Piedmontese tariff. A deputation had had an interview with Earl Russell on the subject, and the result of that interview was that, on the 21st of February, a communi cation was sent from the Foreign-office to the Associated Chambers. It stated that there were negotiations between France and Italy of such a character as to render it pro bable that free trade and commerce would shortly exist; between those two countries on the same principles as the trade between France and Belgium, and that the time had now arrived to endeavour to place the commercial relations between this country and the Italian Government on a satisfactory footing. The opinions of Chambers of Com merce would be of great use to her Majesty's Ctovenuueut, TEE YELVEI?TaN MARRIAGE CASE. n this case the proof on both sides has now been closed, and, with one exception, the Lord Ordinary has given judgment on all the objections and ap peals occurring in course of the proof for Major Yelverton, in which judgment both parties acquiesced. The exception referred to was as regards the admission of the Doune visitors' book in evidence. In the course of the proof for the pur suer, she proposed, in January, 1861, and again in April, 1861, to produce the visitors' book, kept at Donne Castle by Donald M'Donald, keeper of Donne Castle, in which the pursuer had alleged on record that, in the course of a tour taken in September and October, 1857, the de fender entered the names of himself and the pur suer as " Mr. and Mrs. Yelverton." The defender objected to the production by the pursuer of this book, on the ground that it was mentioned by the pursuer on record that it had been in the possession or within the power of the pursuer, and that it had not been produced before the record was closed. The Court of Session, on Tuesday, repelled the ob jection, and allowed the book in question to be pro duced in evidence. Three other points remaining to be disposed of under the joint reclaiming notes in June last were taken up at the same time. The first referred to a letter from the pursuer (Mrs. Yelverton) addressed to the defender's (Major Yel verton) mother, Lady Avonmore, in which she had spoken of her marriage to him. The second re ferred to certain letters which passed between the pursuer (Mrs. Yelverton) and her sister and brother in law, Mr. and Mrs, Bellamy, containing similar statements. The third referred to certain letters between Mrs. Yelverton and Major Yelverton's late brother, the Hon. G. F. W. Yelverton, with refer ence to the proposals that she should relieve the major by transporting herself to New Zealand. On the first and second points, the Lord Ordinary had sustained the objections for the defender, and refused the admission of the documents in question ; on the third, he had repelled the objections, and allowed the letters to be put in evidence. The Court, after hearing counsel for both parties, unani mously adhered to the Lord Ordinary's judgment. All the preliminary questions on both sides being now finally disposed of, the case on the merits will as soon as possible come for argument before the Lord Ordinary next week. SINGULAR FORGERIES OF BILLS OF EXCHANGE BY A WOMAN. At Sheffield, yesterday, a wretched-looking woman, named Sarah Oakes, the wife of a market gardener at Wincobank, near Sheffield, was charged with forging bills of exchange to the amount of several hundred pounds. The prosecution was in stituted by the Sheffield Banking. Company, and the facts of the case, as taken principally from state ments the prisoner has made, are substantially as follows :--About two years ago she received a bill for a small amount, in the way of business. She says that she had never seen a bill in her life before, and that she was doubtful for some time whether the piece of paper was worth any thing. The husband decided to present it for discount, and that was done at the bank of the prosecutors, where the acceptor was known, and where it was met at maturity. That seems to have given the prisoner the first hint of manner in which bill transactions were managed, and she appears to have thought it a remarkably easy way of raising money. She went to a rela tive's in the town, and procured some blank bill stamps, and got the shopman to fill up the body of a bill, with the name of her husband as the drawer, for a certain amount. She then wrote, or procured some one else to write, the name of Mr. Thorpe, keeper of an eating-house, as acceptor, • on the back of the bill. The document was then presented for discount at the bank, and the signature of the acceptor was com pared with a genuine one, :and pronounce d in theall right. Several other bil:s were p resented same names, and the most singular part of the ca se is that, up t tao billst the that time hadof the become discovery due w o e f r em the met in all t he the regular course. The prisoner says she got the money in the ordinary way from the proceeds of her business, at her shop in Sheffield. On Tuesday, a little girl presented herself at the bank, and said she had come to pay one of the bills, which was for a rather considerable amount. She was asked who had sent her, and she replied, " Mr. Thorpe." Several ques tions were then put, and the girl being un able to answer them, she was detained; and she then said her aunt (the prisoner) had sent her with the money. The prisoner was apprehended, and she made a clean breast of the whole matter. It was stated that there are now forged bills running to the amount of £l9O, but the prisoner says they would have been met if she had not been stopped. Where the money was to come from is a mystery, for the prisoner presented a most poverty-stricken appearance. The bank authorities seem to be under the impression that she has been acting as the tool of some person, but she declares that no one knew of the forgeries but herself. She was remanded to Friday. ":"1. BREAK INCA INTO A PAWNSHOP. At the City Police Court, on Tuesday, James Har rison was charged with having broken int 3 the the shop of Mr. J. L. Brown, No. 306, Oldham-road, and stolen a cash box containing £8 16s. lid. and other articles. Mr. Brown stated that he formerly lived in the house adjoining his shop; but on ac count of his health, he took a residence elsewhere, and let off the house next door to his shop to the prisoner, who had lived there for the last twelve months. There was a communication between the house and shop when the former was occu pied by himself, but when he left he had this means of access to the shop blocked up ; and since then the premises had been entirely un connected with each other. It was his custom at night to leave the cashbox concealed amongst the goods. It usually contained from £8 to £lO, for the use of the shopmen the first thing in the morning. The box was invariably left unlocked. For some months he had missed cash from the box to the amount of £4 or £5 per week; and in taking stock recently there were goods to the amount of £2OO or £3OO which could not be accouated for. He called in the assistance of the police; and on Thursday last, he and Sergeant Torr examined the premises. They found in the cellar a place which aroused their suspicions, and a watch was kept. On Monday evening he left his brother and Police - constable Butler on the premises, and on coming back he found that a board had been removed from the bot tom stair in the cellar, so as to form a communica tion with the prisoner's house. This was the same place he had before noticed as being suspicious. The hole was large enough to admit the prisoner or anyone else his size. On examining the shop, he missed the cash box from its place. It was afterwards shown to him by a police officer, but nothing was gone from it. At the police station a lamp was shown to him, which he identi fied as one he had missed from his shop. The cash box contained £8 16s. lid. in gold, silver, and cop per,—Joseph Butler, a police constable, stated that in company with the prosecutor's brother he was watching the shop on Monday evening. Both of them were concealed. About half-past seven he heard a noise in the shop as if some one was walk ing about, and in about a minute afterwards he saw the prisoner coming up the stairs with a lighted lamp in his hand. The prisoner was in his shirt and drawers, and had no shoes on. The prisoner went to the place where the cash box was kept, and pulled out a bundle, which he placed on the floor. He opened the lid of the box, when he (Butler) ran towards him. The prisoner had a lamp in his hand, w hich he threw at him (Butler). The lamp struck him on the head and made him stagger for a bit.On recovering himself, he caught hold of the prisoner, the but the latter slipped through a trap door into cellar. The witness followed close behind , and saw the prisoner go through a hole in h tried to follow, but, having all , his clothes ewall. He on, he ac stuck fast. He then went to the and was about to break it open , wh en the p risoner came out, still in his shirt an d drawers, and, after a struggle, he was secured. —The prisoner was com mitted for trial.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Glouces ter against the Revised Education Code. GARDENS IN TOWNS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord REDESDALE moved that it be referred to a select committee. Lord ST. LEONARDS took objections to the bill, which he said proposed to take away the fee simple of the interior of Leicester-square from a gentleman who had a right to it. Lord OVERTON said if the bill was referred to a select committee all private rights would be carefully considered. He complained very much of the present state of Leicester square, a place not one hundred years ago selected as the resort of royalty, and which was then an ornament to the metropolis. He wished to know what had become of that ornamental garden, and by whose authority it had degenerated to its present condition. They were about to invite foreigners to their shores, yet, in the very centre of the metropolis, they would find a spot which was a disgrace to it. He hoped the bill would he referred to a select committee. Lord CHELMSFORD read an advertisement which had been drawn up by the late George Robins, the auctioneer, offering the space in Leicester-square and the iron rails by which it was surrounded, for sale by public auction. He the bill was ref erre d t o looked upon this as a cirurnstance which sho we d th e square t Would be well wasconsi dered. s Earl ae p re r lt i vGcaoittme committee, e d n o r E p p u tr b hi vo i cautge hthought, property. gifli ts dered.

Mr. WHALLEY gave notice that on an early day he would move for a committee to inquire into the description of education at Maynooth College and the allegiance of the students and professors of that institution. (Laughter.) MR. WHALLEY'S TOWER. Mr. B. OSBORNE said that he had to correct errors into which he had fallen the other evening in reference to the hon. member for Peterborough. He stated that that hon. member had given a tower on his estate for the use of the Orangemen of Liverpool. He was informed by the hon. member that he had given the use of the tower merely for pic nits and purposes of festivity. (Laughter.) le was also in error in stating that the hon. member had erected the building in question, and instead of being on household land it was on fee simple estate. (Laughter.) With respect to what he had stated relative to the speech of the hon. member at the Rotunda in Dublin, he eertainly thought he heard him quote the line— " A smile in the lip and a tear in the eye," but it appeared he was in error, and he hoped the hon. member would never make quotation again. (Renewed laughter.) THE MILITARY COLLEGE AT SANDHURST. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. SELWYN asked th e S ecre t ar y of State whether it was the intention of the Government to insist upon a compulsory enlarge the Military College at Sandhurst, a residence there of all candidates forrWt to dge for establishi ng University of Cambr idge commissions in the army, or whethe r th e offer .l. m t, , , de by educa tion at that university would be accepted ? the Sir G. C. LE WIS said—The vote taken last year for Sandhurst wa016,000, which:had not been expended and it would merely have to be revoted. In reply to an hon. member he said that the vote for fortifi cations in the colonies would be merely to complete those already commenced. The fortifications in Neva Scotia and and Halifax had been rendered necessary by the apprehen sion that was entertained of a collision with the United States. CLOTHING FOR THE VOLUNTEERS. Lord A. V. TEMPEST asked the Secretary of State for War, whether H er M a j es t y ' s G overnment wou ld sanction theissue of clothing, at contract price, to regiments of Volunteers ; also, whether they will consider tho expedi ency of giving a contingent allowance, per man (according to the stren g th o f th e cor p s a t the annual inspection), in aid of renewal of clothing and equipments. Sir G. C. L EWIS deferred answering the question until the house went into committee of supply.

On the house going into committee of supply, £209,901 for ars of £15,000. during the last two ye to Major KNOX also objectedthe number of messengers in these departments, and thoughtthese employed H.

Mr. CHILDERS complained in crease in the expe n dit ure in the generally of the vast less a sum th an £l6O 4 war department. No ' 9 0 had been v o t e d for contingencies in that department, which had been exceeded in expenditure, by an ou tl a y o f no l ess. than over £170,000.

They had not done so, and the inference was that they did not think any retrenchment was desirable. There had been. a great increase in the manufacturing departments, which a large augmentation in the outlay since 1856. The estab lishment of the Volunteer force had also caused an increase ; and the fortifications, as he had already stated, led to a large increase. He would be most happy if there could be any reduction ma de in the.army estimates, but he could not see how it could lie effected:without impairing the efficiency of the service. How. ever, he wished the house to examine the items carefully and see if any alteration could be introduced. He cnteTed distribution into a lengthened statement relative to the dis of rifles to the Volunteers, and other s o i s ources of increased expenditure. With respect to the Armstrong guns, he respect to the, denied that they had been a failure. With Whitworth invention, be thought it was only right that it should receive a fair trial.
