MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. • The Bank of England return completed to the 4th of June exhibits a large falling off in the stock of bullion, consequent upon the late demand for ex portation. The reserve of notes has also been largely diminished, and the private deposits exhibit a re. duction of nearly a million and a half sterling. The other items of the balance sheet show no important alterations ; subjoined are the particulars :- - Activo Circulation .. £20,850,540 Increase .. • 247,310 Bullion 15,486,723 Decrease .. • 692,092 Rest .. . 3,107,199 •• •• Decrease 7,864 ••• •• Public Deposits • 7,518,009 Increase . .. 580,201 Other Dep os it s.. .• • .. 13,188,136 Decrease . 1 496,951 Seven Day and o th er Bills .

The current demands are only sufficient to employ a moderate proportion of the available balances, and under these circumstances the banks and private houses freely negotiate bills at the prevailing quo tations. The appearance of the Bank of England return, published yesterday, although in some respects unfavourable, has not attracted much at tention, because the reduction of bullion was generally anticipated through the large with drawals which were known to have taken place on account of the Turkish and Russian loans. It is calculated that the net sum of the Moorish, Turkish, Egyptian, and Russian operations introduced since the commencement of the year, is about £ 12 ,000,000, of which £5,000,000 has already been absorbed. The transmission of the balance may assist in creating a little more firmness in the quotations, but the remittances will be made at intervals, and, in the meantime, large receipts may be expected from Australia, A merica, iutl -vrem, Indies, &c., which, at all events will partially re place the money that may be sent out of the country. At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion operations were not of an important character. The Hansa, from New York, has brought 35,000 in specie. The accounts relative to the crops in France are 'vary satisfactory, and a slight improvement is reported in commercial operations. Merchants and manufacturers continue to watch the course of events on the other side of the Atlantic with considerable anxiety, and the hope is indulged that some decisive movement will shortly take place, which will lead to the prospect of an early termination of the war, when commerce throughout Europe would, of course, receive an extraordinary impulse. There was rather less activity in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were well supported. The sales were about 6,000 bales. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the last few days has been dull, owing to the absence of many of the dealers at Epsom. In the private market, however, prices generally have given way. Sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt., while rice, tea, coffee, and stitpetre has been nominally cheaper. Tallow has slightly improved, the quotations for P.Y.C. being 465. per cwt. on the spot, and 48s. 6d. for last three months' delivery. CITY NEWS---THIS DAN. Two O'CLocK. Not the slightest increase of business can be re ported in the English Stock Market to-day, the dealings for transfer and also on speculation being very limited. The impending settlement of the account is now beginning to engage attention. Con sols have been 92 to 92i for money and the 10th inst. The New Threes and the Reduced are 91a i ; Ex chequer Bills, lie. prem. ; Bank Stock is 236; and India 5 per Cent. Loan, 107-1 1.

Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued exceedingly inactive, and the few bargains entered into show no change of importance in ♦alues. Eastern Counties are steady at 561 ; Lan cashire and Yorkshire at 1071 9 ; Brighton at 122 Midlands at 1271 and 127. _ _ _ The Foreign and Colonial lines remained quiet at about former rates. South Austrian and Lom bardo-Venetian are dealt in at 22i ; Great Luxem bourg, at 15; East Indian, at 1061 t; and Great Indian Peninsula, 1041. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have also shown little change in values.

SECON)ARIES COURT. (Before Mr. Poter and a Common Jury.) DEPLORABLE CATASTRIPHE IN THE BRITISH CHANNEL. NORTON (ADMINISTRATOR) V. MERCER AND ANOTHER. This was a writ of enluiry sent down from the Court of Exchequer to assess the images laid at £1,500 sustained in consequence of the deatl by drowning of William Norton, through the negligence if defendants' servants. The facts of this case are somewha affecting, as the action is brought on behalf of three poor Ittle children, aged, respectively, 12, 7, and 5. The recoil sets forth that the damages are sustained by the said ciildren by reason of the death by drowning of the fathel, which death was caused by the negligence of the defendaits and their servants and mariners in swamping and sinkin; the vessel or cutter Hydra, in the British Channel on tie 17th November, 1860, by and through the neglect in tie navigation of a certain other ves sel called the Imogen, whereof the defendants were owners, the said William Norto, who was a master mariner, and then master of the Hyd.a, being then lawfully on board that vessel." Defendarts, who are shipowners, have suf fered judgment to go )3 , default, but have engaged the services of an eminent counsel to, if possible, mitigate the damages. Mr: Sergeant Ballartine, for the defendants, said he should save the jury considerable pain and trouble in this case. The facts were that three poor children were de prived of their father, and he (the learned sergeant) had agreed with his learned friend Mr. Clark to allow a sum of £350. Mr. Clark—How should that sum be apportioned ? Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Suppose we say £l5O for the eldest child, and £lOO cach for the others. The learned Secondary-1 he jury had better be sworn, as we must record the verdict. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Gentlemen, I am happy to say we have settled the oese. The learned Secondary then directed the jury to assess the damages at £350. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. A CASE FOR THE MYORCE COURT.—ALLEGED ADUL TERY.—Mrs. Mary Hakberry, the wife of Mr. Wm.

The father-in-law having proved the breaking of the window, The husband said his wife came to his father's house, where he was residing, and asked him to receive her, ho having left her in September last. He refused, in conse quence of something that had occurred, telling her that he could not think of such is thing, and that she had better take proceedings against him. She then caught hold of an iron bar that fastened the window, and, pulling it out, struck him a blow on the forehead. He had letters in his posses sion - Mr. Knox said he had nothing to do with that. The husband had a course open to him. If he was able to prove adultery he had better commence proceedings for a divorce. It was the most effectual remedy, especially as there were no children. The wife—Look at my arm. The husband—You did it yourself. The wife—He has wrongly accused me. Richard Kent, 191 C, said he saw the prisoner strike the complainant with the iron bar produced, her husband at the time trying to put her out of the house, but using no more violence than necessary. Ho also saw the window broken by her: Mr. Knox said it was clearly a family dispute, and if the husband believed she was guilty of adultery he had better take the course he had suggested. The wife had also in the mealtime better make herself chargeable to the pariah if her husband did not make an allowance, and then he would be brought before him (the magistrate). She must pay the damage, or have three days' imprisonment, and be bound over to be of good behaviour for three months, and if she offended again he should require sureties. MARKETS---THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. The show of samples of English wheat on sale here to day, both fresh up and left over from Monday, was very moderate. All good-conditioned parcels moved off steadily at full prices ; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, at about previous rates. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Danttic qualities were mostly held at full quota tions; but other descriptions met a very inactive market, at previous currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. _ _ Yv Barley—the foreign supply of which was large—sold heavily, at fully the late decline. The malt trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Fine oats fairly supported previous rates ; but medium, and especially low foreign qualities, were difficult of sale. Beans and peas I,ing in small supply, were firm as to value, and good qualities were inquired for. The flour trade was very inactive, buyers having con fined their purchases to actual wants. j,,RRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

About seven o'clock on Sunday evening Mr. Kenworthy, who was at the time the only person in the house, hearing a noise, went to the kit chen door. and saw the prisoners standing in the yard, by the kitchen window, the lower sash of which had been raised. The prisoners immediately ran off, but were pur sued and captured by Mr. Kenworthy and some other per sons. The prisoners had scaled a wall 10ft. high, and broken the lock off the back door, in order to get into the yard. The window was fastened by a common spring catch, which it was supposed had been forced open with a knife. Two screw drivers and a knife were afterwards found near the spot. There were hand marks on the win dow sash. The prisoners were committed for trial. EPSOM RACES-THIS DAY. (From our own Correspondont.) EPSOM, FRIDAY, 12 O'CLOCK. The "Ladies day," as far as comfort is concerned, is much to be preferred to the wild saturnalia of the Derby, and although the attendance of company on the Downs is never to be compared with that , of the great attraction, yet to-day it was more nu merous than was generally expected, and far ex ceeded the average of Oaks days in general. The rain which had fallen yesterday gave a de lightful freshness to the scene, and in place of clouds of dust you had a pleasant refreshing breeze, which added materially to the enjoyment. At the Spread Eagle the scene was altogether of a much more subdued tone, although the assemblage of vehicles was by no means small, and the hill, which afforded such labour to her Majesty's lieges on Wednesday to surmount, was to-day breasted with extraordinary alacrity, the walk being ren dered pleasant by the improved state of the ground. The course looked as fresh end green as the most ardent admirer of nature could desire, and the Grand Stand was exceedingly well attended, but of course the numbers bore no comparison to Wednesday. The various itinerant vendors of jewellery, all "warranted gold under a forfeiture of 20 sove reigns," mustered again in full force, but the charge for the celebrated brooches, of which 2,000 had to be sold in half an hour to decide a wager, had fallen from only one shilling each to the in significant small sum of sixpence; but even at this alarming reduction the articleb were a drug in the market. The betting in the ring this morning was chiefly confined to Hurricane, Sappho, and Bonny Breast knot, the first named having the greatest number of supporters. A number of persons, however, were of opinion that the course was not in the mcst favourable condition. ONE o'CLocK. Heavy clouds are gathering, threatening rain.

Some consternation has been caused by certain strange discoveries that h r-e been made at the Wardsend cemetery. A few days ago a man who is occ , sionally employed at the ceme: ry perceived a disagreeable smell issuing from a soft of coach-house there is on the ground, and took some trouble to ascertain the cause. From what he saw he made a further investigation, and, we are informed, made a discovery which it will be incumbent on the authorities fully to inquire into. We aro told that a hole about four feet deep, and of considerable width and breadth, was found covered with planks, on which a quantity of earth had been loosely thrown, and that there were a number of coffins in the hole. The plates had been removed from the coffins, and in some cases the bodies, which the coffins had previously contained, were gone also. The police have been informed of the circumstance, and we understand are investigating it. In the afternoon of Tuesday a great crowd collected at the cemetery, and the excitement became intense. A funeral was fixed to take place in the ground, and a number of people expressed their determination to be avenged on the eexton as soon as he arrived. When he made his appearance the crowd flocked round him and rather roughly assaulted him, and, but for the opportune arrival of the police, the feeling was so Along that there is no doubt he would have been severely injured. Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening the windows of the house which stands in the centre of the ground, and also the windows of the place in which the burial service is read, were smashed ; and the premises were otherwise considerably damaged. About twenty men were seen to commit this mischief, and then walk away. During the afternoon and even ing a largo number of persons assembled near to the house occupied by the sexton on the land allotment near the Hillsbro' Tho house was of stone, and had been built by Howard. It was two storeys high, contained five or six neatly furnished rooms, and was, in every sense of the word, a comfortable working man's residence, The crowd appeared to get more and more excited as their num bers increased, and threats of violence were loudly made. At night stones were thrown at the windows, and when se veral of them had been broken, a cry was raised to set fire to the house. Extreme and ruffianly as this step is, it was actually taken. A number of persons rushed into the house, smashed the furniture, and piled it in heaps on the floors, and then set fire to it. At that time there was only Mrs. Howard in the place, and she begged of the persons who had gone into the house to spare the property. They disregarded her entreaties, and the niece was soon enve topea in names. lure. Howard evinced great reluctance to leave her house, and we are told had actually to be forcibly ejected from it when it was on fire. Information was despatched with all speed to the Sheffield fire .offices for assistance, and engines from the Sheffield and the Liver pool and London offices were promptly sent, with a strong body of firemen, to the scene of the fire. Before the arrival of the engines the flames had taken so firm a hold on the premises that it was at once perceived to be impossible to save any portion of the contents. The house, fortunately, was detached, and the fire was, there fore, confined to it. So rapidly did the fire consume the house that at midnight nothing but the bare walls were left standing, every combustible having been com pletely destroyed. During the progress of the fire strong expressions were made use of. by several people in the crowd in reference to - Howard. and it was broadly stated that if he had been there he would have been thrown into the fire, or otherwise severely handled. The actual amount of the damage done by the fire we have not been able to ascertain. The building, we are informed, is insured. The Rev. J. Livesey, the incumbent of the church to which the cemetery belongs, gives the following explana tion of the affair : " My first acquaintance with this case was on Saturday, when I saw two of the country police in the cemetery grounds. After the funeral, seeing a policeman still lin gering about the place, I requested to know his business. He then stated that an information of a very grave nature had been laid against the sexton, viz., that he had there, concealed in the coachhouse, a mutilated human body ; that the legs had been seen dangling out of a box by the s informant that morning ; and that the sexton, when re quested, bad declined to produce the key of the coachhouse. I at once waived the objection that the county police had no jurisdiction within the borough, and no legal authority for such an investigation, and ordered the coachhouse to be opened. There indeed was a box containing a shapeless mass of decomposing matter, black and foetid, not having the remotest resemblance to the human frame, but a mourn ful illustration of the universal doom, Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.' The sexton accounted for the possession of the box by stating that it had been sent from the Medical Ball ; that it had been securely nailed up, and had been opened by some one who had picked the lock, or otherwise obtained surreptitious entrance to the coach house; that he had placed the box there for a short time previous to conveying it to a covered excavation, which was originally constructed for a catacomb, but the shale not having sufficient coherence, the arch fell in, and the exca vation has since been used as a receptacle for the remains sent by the Medical Hall, and for stillborn children, relics of humanity over which the Burial Service cannot legally be read. I have made searching inquiries respecting the small empty coffins, greatly decayed, found there. The ex planation is that they, as well as a few portions of small enffins nnd coffin-plates found and removed surrentitiouslv (no doubt by the same individual) from the stable, had been thrown out of the shallow graves of children buried, as the plates prove, from four or fivs years since, and therefore long since decomposed. These, it must be , remarked, are all infants' graves five feet deep, in the same unappropriated section, and have all been sunk deeply for family graves ; here is the front and substance of the sexton's offending. As these graves were unappropriated, he was justified when he first tenants had returned to dust, to sink them deeper, but he had no right to remove even a decayed particle of a coffin from the graves. In having done so he has grossly offended against decency, and by this no one has been more deeply pained than myself. The public, however, may rest assured that this has occurred only in 24 cases (for I have obtained an exact list), and the wild and exaggerated ru• mours now afloat may be utterly disregarded. The truth is, the act 3 and 4 Wm. IV., c. 75, has amply supplied the requirements of the medical profession, as well as imposed a severe penalty on dis interring the dead. The crime now would be as unwise as it would be wicked, and every intel ligent person is well aware that it has long ceased to be perpetrated." The rev. gentleman then proceeds to say that the charge against the sexton had been got up by a person who had been dismissed from the grounds, and adds—" There is no doubt the sexton has acted in this instance in a manner which is highly improper and blameworthy; but it is the first offence which has come to my knowledge in 25 years, and he has faithfully promised not to repeat it."

YORKSHIRE V. KENT. A grand match between the respective elevens of the counties of York and Kent, was commenced on the fine ground at Brammall-lane, Sheffield, on Monday, and was continued on Tuesday and yesterday, when it was brought to a conclusion. The Kent eleven went in first, but the bowling of Slinn and Hodgson, and the generally good fielding of Yorkshire, were too formidable for them, and they were got out for a total of 60. Yorkshire then went to the wickets, against the bowling of Willsher and Ben nett, a very dangerous pair, the "slows" of the latter being very troublesome to the batsmen. George Anderson, by some of those heavy hits for which he is famous, and Halton by some good steady play, ran up good scores ; and the innings closed for the total of 82. In their second in nings, Kent made a much better stand than at first, and Bennett seemed especially to have mastered the bowling. He and Willsher were at the wickets for a time which severely tried the patience of the spectators, who, of course, sympathised with the York men, but after a brilliant innings, Bennett succumbed to a fine ball from Hodgson, and Willsher followed suit almost imme diately. The other wickets fell rapidly, and the innings closed for 133, of which 72 had been put on by Will sher and Pennett. Yorkshire then followed for second innings, and had scored 14, with two wickets down, when play ceased on Tuesday. Yesterday the gams was resumed, Joe Rowbotham, of Sheffield, and John Perry being in. The innings of the former was one of the finest displays of cricket ever witnessed. The bowling of Will sher and Bennett, though really superb,was of no avail, and in the most magnificent manner he kept his wicket until the game was won, retiring with the great score of 59. His score included three fives, one four, five threes, and nine twos, the rest being made up in singles. A. liberal sub scription was made on the ground for him. As will be seen by the subjoined score, Yorkshire won with two wickets to go down. KENT. First Innings. Second Innings.

The news was well founded, for a woman, about 20 years of age, was extricated about half past eleven in a most pitiable and fearful condition, being almost dashed to pieces. Her name is Mary Ann Higgins, a domestic servant, whose parents reside at Sedgley. It appears that, a few days ago, she left her place of service, and on Monday night an acquaintance that had subsisted same time ago with one Joseph Bate, was resumed, and they were out walking after dusk, and were so seen about an hour previous to the discovery, at the scene of the alleged murder, by a policeman named Sheldon. We 1,10+,1 +}+a+ a++na Finn *vac riraccra +a +ha ri vrnsma. and as there are some houses near at hand, assistance was readily given. Police-constable Sheldon apprehended Bate in a public-house, carousing, some distance away. When accused of murdering his sweetheart, he simply declared his innocence, adding that " she jumped in herself." He was lodged in gaol. MR. W. H. SEWARD.--A man, I should think, under five feet in height, and of some 60 years of age; small made, with small delicate hands and feet, and a small wiry body, scanty snow-white hair, deeps et clear grey eyes, face perfectly clean shaved, and a smooth colourless skin of a sort of parchment texture I Such were the outward fea turese that struck me at once.

There are a frankness and bon homie about his manner which render it to my mind a v er y pleasant one. In our English p h r ase, Mr. Seward is g oo d company. A good ci g ar, a good glass of wine, and a good story, even if it is Cant soi peu risque, are pleasures which he obviously enjoys keenly. Still, a glance at that spare hard- knit frame, and that clear, bright eye shows you that no pleasure, however keenly appreciated, has been indulged in to excess throughout his long laborious career. And, more than that , no one 'who has had the pleasu re o f see i ng hi m among his o wn family can doubt about th e ki n dli ness of his disposition. It is equally impossible to talk much with him without perceiving that he is a man of remark able ability. He has read much, especially o f mo dern literature --travelled much—and seen much of the world of man as well as that of book.—Dicey's Washington during the War.

Yesterday afternoon a suicide of a most terrible description was committed by a person occupying, we believe, the position of cashier to Messrs. Soares and Co., wine mer. chants, No. 4, Mark-lane. The unhappy man, it was rumoured, had been very unfortunate in certain racing speculations, and his losses, which amounted to over £2,000, produced such a terrible effect upon him that as one of the heavy provision waggons of the Messrs. Todds, containing about 4 or 5 tons of gond!, was passing along Fenchurch-street, he rushed from his office and threw himself under the vehicle, one of the wheels of which went over his head and completely crushed t brains out of his skull. The desperate act was seen by a great number of people, an d ever y effort was ule to pre. im vent the unfortunate man from carrying out his design of self-destruction, but without effect. The lifeless body was conveyed home, and when the shocking circumstance became known to his wifo it had such an afoot upon her nervous system as to produce in sensibility. ANOTHER ATEEMPAND.TED MURDER 1N IREL As. Mr. William Moreland, an English gentleman, pro prietor of extensive property in Clare, was riding home on he was fired a t by an at hßirsirdegseidoefncFe Fort Anne. Scari ff,Anne. Slugs penetrated one Tuesday a : sassi to arm and riddled his coat skirts. Lord Dunboyne has received a threatening letter, order ing him to prepare his coffin. The special commission opens at Limerick on Monday, the 16th, at three o'clo c k , for the trial of the persons charged with the murder of Mr. Fitzgerald, and of certain persons charged as accessories before the fact to that homi cide. In Tipperary, at Clonmel, on Friday, 20th, at ten o'clock, for trial of any the parti es c h a rged with the murders of M. Thiebault and of Maguire. In addition to these cases it is intended to try Thomas and James Bohane (brothers), charged with shooting at Colonel Knox; Richard Burke, charged with poisoning his wife Johanna, with strychnine ; and some lesser but serious cases of agrarian character, such as sending threat ening letters. The commission will occupy about ten days altogether. CLEAN CATS.—The roughness of the cat's tongue is due to a multitude of horny papillae (much stronger, of course, in lions and tigers), by which it is materially helped to keep itself clean : a most important point, for cleanness is a necessity to cats, inasmuch as if they had the slightest smell about them, their prey would detect their presence, and never come within their reach. As it is, the cat is so free from smell, that she may sit close to the holes of mice without their being aware of it, although they possess a fine sense of smell. A cat never eats a morsel of anything, whatever it is, without afterwards sitting down to i s c lean and wipe its face and lips. This caution for which t sso remar k a ble is likewise evinced in its choice ofie cluded spots for bringing up its offspring; very often some hole or corner very little thought of by the inmates of the house ; if the young be removed and placed elsewhere, thr mo ther will frequently take them aga in and again to the place chosen by herself. Dickens's "AU the rear .Round." TRAMWAYS. Some petitions were presented from different parts of the metropolis for and against the construction of tramways i n certain thoroughfares. TRADE MARKS BILL. In reply to Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. M. GIBSON said that he was unable to state the exact day when he would be able to bring on this bill, but he believed it would be shortly after the Whitsuntide holi days. THE INCOME TAX. Mr. HUBBARD gave notice that on an early day be would draw the attention of the house to the unjust opera tion of the income tax. OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH BELGIUM Mr. BEAUMONT gave notice of a motion this subject. REPORT OF TH POOR-LAW INSPECTOR (. In answer to Mr. MAGUIRE, Sir R. PEEL said that Mr. Horsley had made his offi cial report, but it would be establishing a bad precedent if confidential communications to the Government were made public. Mr. MAGUIRE asked for a specific answer to his ques tion, namely, as to whether the report in question would be laid on the table. Sir R. PEEL said he would rather not produce the document in question. COLONEL BENTINCK. In answer to Mr. CONINGHAM, Sir G. LEWIS said that the retirement of Col. Bentinck did not take place in consequence of the warrant to which the hon. member referred. It had been usual to treat cer tain cases of retirement as exceptional, and the one in ques. tion was of that character. There was no favouritism shown to Colonel Bentinck, and on the contrary both he and his friends were of opinion that he had been treated with great severity in being compelled to retire. With re spect to Captain Robertson and his superior officer, he took on himself the responsibility of what had taken place. WOODS AND TRUSTS. In reply to Mr. TORRENS, Mr. PEEL, in the absence of Mr. Cowper, said there was no power in the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to sell any portion of the woods and forests which be longed to the Crown. THE MURDER OF M. THIEBAULT. In reply to Mr. SCULLY, Sir R. PEEL said it was proposed to charge the four townlands in the neighbourhood where the murder was committed the expense of the police which had been sent to the locality. Of course , as he had stated, the townland of the murdered man's brother would be exempted from the tax. Mr. WHITE SIDE drew attention to the attempted mur der in Ireland that had been reported in the papers this morning, and asked the right hon. gentleman (Sir R. Peel) whether any steps would be taken to repress these murders? Sir R. PEEL said that it was true that another attempt had been made on the life of a gentleman in Ireland, but he was fortunately only shot in the arm. Goveinment were taking all the step in their power to put an end to these crimes, and a commission would b e i ssue d b e t ween the 15th and 20th inst. THE INDIAN BUDGET. Ie Lepiy tu Oh 11. IVILLOUUHBY and other members, Sir C. WOOD said he could not pledge himself as to when he should bring on the subject of Indian finance. Mr. BRIGHT expressed a hope that Government would not imitate the practice of their predecessors in delaying to deal with important questions relating to India, and he drew the attention of the house to the state of Lancashire, and the anxiety that was felt in reference to any progress that might be made in respect to the growth of cotton in India. THE STATE OF IRELAND. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house at its ris ing should adjourn until that day week for the Whitsuntide holidays. Mr. MAGUIRE availing himself of that opportunity appealed to the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Go vernment on a matter personal to himself and of great inte rest to the people of Ireland. He had been ten years in that house, and nobody could accuse him of making delibe rately a false statement. From time to time he had brought forward, with pain and humiliation, the subject of the pre sent distress in Ireland. The hen, member then urged upon the noble lord to produce the report of Mr. Horsley, in order to satisfy the feelings of Irish members who concurred with him as to the distress prevailing in Ireland. After some observations by Mr. Scumoc, Lord PALMERSTON said that he had not seen the re port of Mr. Horsley, but he would look into the document, and if there was nothing objectionable in it ho woutliel on the table, or if otherwise he would direct the substance ffar d t o some of it to be submitted to the house.

If police were actually en gaged in tracing out the persons engaged in the recent murders in Ireland, a commission would shortly be issued. He referred with pleasure to the fact that these murders in Ireland had nothing whatever to do with dissatisfaction towards the Government, and he was happy to hear it stated in the course of the conversation that a great number of Olga Pnman Catholic laity in Traland a prirnvari of itka policy pursued towards Italy. (Hear, hear.) The motion for adjournment was subsequently agreed to. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the order for going into committee of supply, Mr. ROEBUCK put a series of questions in reference to the change of name by a Mr. Jones, of Clytha. The hon. member stated that Mr. Jones had assumed the name of Herbert without a Royal licence ; and that in consequence the Lord Chamberlain had refused to permit him to be pre sented in that name at Court, the Horse Guards had refused' to sanction his appointment to the militia, and the 1 1 ?_nr. Secretary had declined to ask the Lord Chancellor to.. i* place him on the commission of the peace. Inasmuch as as w t the lawful for any person to change his name witho ut ld not lend Royal licence he hoped the Government wou_ eo _ to any their authority to the payment of excessivieent s tenant of a public department, or encourage the lord emed as if county to act out of a spiteful feeling ; for el:, Who objected the opposition had arisen with Lord Llane m v o and assuming to Mr. Jones abandoning his plebian r!e_ ....9 by the noble the more aristocratic name which was °(''" lord's son-in .law. lawful for any person Sir G.

Parlia ment 0 WOOD entered into some explanations on the sub sir C. into ject, and the house went committee on the Civil Ser -vice Estimates. Several votes were agreed to, including that for the Queen's Colleges in Ireland, £99,012 for the British Mu seum, which was proposed by Mr. Walpole, and £l,OOO for the British Portrait Gallery. On the house resuming, the Rifle Volunteer Grounds Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Naval and Victualling Stores Bill was read a second time. The other business on the paper having also been agreed to, the house adjourned until Thursday next. le GAS METERS.—The Manchester Guardian says the number of meters inspected in Salford during the past quarter was 205, of which 70 were defective.
