SHARE M. MOb CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There was an increased• demand for cotton in the Liverpool Market yesterday, and prices gene rally were id. per lb. higher. The sales were 10,000 bales. An undertaking, which is likely to prove very wend and remunerative. has been announced under the title of the Metropolitan Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. The proposed capital is to be £lOO,OOO, in £lO shares, and already numerous applications have been received. The object of this company is to supply and let wagons, carriages to railway companies, mill owners, merchants, and others. And as this description of business has proved highly advantageous in the provinces, there is every reason to believe that the prospects of the company are sufficient to secure the confidence of the investing classes.

Mr. Bury Hutchinson, for the plaintiff, called his client, and a witness, from whose testimony it appeared that on the 27th July last, a cab belonging to plaintiff, having a fare inside, was proceeding down the Bayswater-road, near, but not on the Marble Arch-street Railway Companies rails. A car belonging to the company came along at a rapid pace, and, as a considerable portion pro jected over the rails, a collision ensued, the re sult of which was that the car was knocked off the rails, while the cab was dashed on five and twenty yards, the fare being thrown out, of course, very much frightened. Application was made to the offices of the defendants in Cannon-street, and after wards to Bayswater. The cab was smashed all to pieces, and taken home in a cart. 1011 102, 101, 101, 241 25} 73 75 6) 63 43 45 45 18 40 13 39 41 101 i 1021 113 guaranteed 5 per cent. Gt. W. ot Canada Shares Do.

The prisoner was engaged in preparing letters for deli.. very in the East Central-office, and it was alleged by one of the officers of the Post-office who had, for cer tain reasons, been set on to watch the letter sorters, that the prisoner went out of his way to remove a heap of letters, and during the time he was so engaged he was seen to secret a letter in his coat pocket. The letter,•bearing the St. Colomb post-mark of the 11th of March, was found on the prisoner's person, and when he was accused of the robbery he at once denied it, and said that some one who had an ill-feeling towards him had put the letter into his pocket. On the prisoner's residence being searched discovered, and he accounted for the possession of it by stat i ng that he bad earned it in Australia previous to his a large sum of money w as entering the service of the Post-office. On his return to England he said he was anxious to purchase a house, and in order to preserve the money he had already amassed he took the fist situa tion offered, viz., a sorter in the Post..office. Sergeant Ballantine made a very strong appeal to the jury in favour of the prisoner, and a great number of per sons were called who gave the prisoner a very high charac ter for honesty. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, the jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy on the ground of his previous good character. The learned judge sentenced him to four years' penal ser vitude. Do. 5i p a Preference.. W. & N.W. of France .. FREFERENCE SHE lends contingent on the *Caledon. LlO Gua.

The first witness examined was a a m t 6a, mriadrnwihfaa.M I knew ace, -plSer mon's-lane,sTaneNichwolhaay, sa r i e d si_din l g the deceased woman Craze. I first saw her on the 4th of March, in her house at 114, Eastfield -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields . The child was born about half-past twelve the same night. Sarah Skeles was present. After the birth I found it ne cessary to send for medical aid, and Dr. Robinson, the parish surgeon, was sent for. After some delay, he arrived, sa he had refused in the first instance to attend without an order. I got the order, and then he came about half-past two. I told Dr. Robinson of the condition of deceased, and soon after ho had commenced to treat the woman, she commenced to scream in a most alarming manner. I saw him wind some of what I considered to be the intestines three times round his hand, and then I exclaimed, " Oh, Dr. Robinson." He called for a pair of scissors, and sepa rated them from deceased. He directed Mrs. Skeles to throw that which he had cut away down the water closet. Skeles went out of the room to do so, but did not, as the Dr. was washing his hands. Previous to his leaving he said it was all right, but that the woman would die. After he left the woman began to sink. Skeles went with Dr. Robinson to get a draught foi• the deceased. I went to Dr. Robinson a short time after to tell him the condition of the woman, and then I told him that Skeles had said it was not the afterbirth that ho had taken away, and he said, " Oh, bosh." He said he would come and see the woman again. While I was at his dispensary he asked me to put away what he called the placenta. I refused. On a second occasion he asked me if I had destroyed "that," and I told him I had not, and that I should not do so. He said, " Oh, very well, let me know how the woman is doing to-day.' The poor woman died in about 36 hours after the operation. The witness was subjected to a long cross-examination to show that she administered a quantity of ergot of rye improperly to the deceased. She admitted that 10 grains would be a proper dose, but the quantity she gave the deceased was a teaspoonful. She also denied that she told Dr. Robinson, on the occasion that she went for him, that if he did not make baste the woman would die. A police man was standing near her when she was speaking to Dr. Robinson, but she did not know whether he heard what she said. She was certain that the deceased Rom an must have heard him say that she must die. The ease was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wilde.) THE RUSSIAN BANK NOTE FORGERY. Chlom Reichberg, Abraham Rosenberg, and Koifman Weber were this morning indicted , for assisting the pri soners who were convicted yesterday in conspiring to pro cure certain plates and other materials for the manufacture of fictitious rouble notes of the Bank of Russia. The facts connected with the case have so often been before the public that it is unnecessary to repeat them. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. Josephson and Harwitz were then placed with the other prisoners for sentence. Mr. Justice Wilde sentenced Reichberg and Rosenberg to 8 years, and Harwitz, Josephson, ani Weber to 6 years' penal servitude. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLA.RT. James Barrett was indicted for feloniously and burgla rious'', breaking and entering a dwelling -house, in com pany with three others, and stealing therefrom 40 yards of calico, of the value of £3, the property of Richard Crouch. The jury, without the slightest hesitation, found the prisoner guilty. The Common Sergeant, previous to passing sentence, asked if anything was known of the prisoner. One of the warders of the gaol said the prisoner had been convicted a great number of times during the last three or four years. He then read a list of about twelve terms of im prisonment which the prisoner had undergone, mentioning, at the conclusion, that he once had been discharged from custody by the Gramd Jury ignoring the indictment that had boon profer..ed agalltet The Common Sergeant said the prisoner was a most dan gerous, as well as expensive person to the country. He would take care he should not give further trouble for some time to come. He therefore ordered him to be kept in penal servitude for the period of seven years. During the time the judge was addressing the prisoner, he appeared quite indifferent to the ob servations, and turn ing round to Lockyer, the officer who stood near , sa id, " This is all owing to your talking." THE SUN, LONDON', TETURSEIA.Y EVENING, AP LL 10, 1802. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY. BRAZILIAN GlRL.—Camilla Rosa, the native of Rio Janeiro, Brazil, and who, it may be remembered, was charged before Mr, Tyrwhitt about two months ago with annoying gentlemen in the streets, was yesterday sent to Southampton in company of Welsh, the office keeper of the court, the funds for her passage having been provided through the kindness of the worthy magistrate, the Brazi lian Consul, and generous donors. A passage being secured for her, she will sail forthwith for her native place. Prior to her leaving some assistance was provided for her, and she expressed her deepest gratitude to the magistrate (through Mr. Charles Albert, the interpreter, and at whose intercession she has at length been restored to her home), and to Mr. Mackay, the master of St. James's Workhouse, where she has been domiciled and most kindly treated for some weeks. It is only due to the girl to state that she has conducted herself since she has been at the workhouse in a very becoming manner. 'I he procuress who brought her to this country has since fled, end taken up her abode at Havre, STEALING A SOLDIER'S MEDAL,—Thomas Such, a bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a Turkish medal frem Thomas Fusier, a private in the Scots Fusili©r Guards. The prosecutor said he was in a tavern near Seven-dials the previous evening, and happened to drop the Turkish medal. The prisoner picked it up, and, before he could prevent it, handed it over his shoulder to another man, who immediately made off. Seeing that he should not be able to secure the man, he seized the prisoner and detained him till a constable arrived, and then gave him into custody. If the prisoner was remanded he should be able to bring witnesses who saw him hand the medal to the:other m an . Mr. Tyrwhitt—Ll believe it is a military offence to lose a medal ? Prosecutor—lt is, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Prisoner, you will be remanded, and if you have been convicted before, you will g 3 to the sessions. It was said the prisoner had been before at this court, but it was not stated what for. THAMES. CRUEL ROBBERY.—Wilhelm Fuchs, a German shoe maker, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 13 pairs of boots, the property of his countryman, Ludwig Becker. The prosecuter has been for some time employed by a respectable firm in the city to make up boots and shoes for them, and large quantities of leather and other materials had been entrusted to him, and always punctually returned. He entrusted the prisoner with the materials of 13 pairs of boots to make up, and they were not returned at the proper time. Inquiries were made by Becker, and he ascertained the: he had pawned one pair of boots at a " leaving shop" kept by a Jew in the New-road, St. George's, on Sunday night, the 30th of March, and it was explained that the proprietors of those dreadful nuisances, called leaving shops, were mostly Jews and foreigners, who did business to a great extent on the Christian Sabbath, while the regular licensed pawnbrokers were cloned. The pri soner had sold two other pairs of boots " right out," as it was termed, and the others could not be traced. The whole of the loss would fall upon poor Becker, who was repre sented to be a very industrious man. The prisoner had made an offer, if ho was liberated, to show where he had pawned the other boots, but this of course was not acceded to. He treated the charge with great indifference, and was represented to be a dissipated fellow. Mr. Woolrych decided that the charge of stealing could not be sustained, and convicted the prisoner of unlawfully pawning goods entrusted to him, and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE FRUITS OF PROFLIGACY AND CRIRE.—A young and care-worn looking woman, named Mary Russell, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with attempting to commit suicide. After some evidence had been given by the constable and the mother of the girl, Mr. Woolrych delivered a feeling address to the young woman, and said the mother's statement was a very shock ing one indeed. The prisoner had led a profligate life, and this was the result —poverty, disease, depression, and finally an attempt to take away her own life. It was a most wicked and dreadful thing to attempt self-destruction. He hoped the prisoner was sorry for the rash and foolish attempt on her life. The prisoner (sobbing)-1: am, sir. Mr. Woolrych asked the mother if she would take her daughter home. The mother—Certainly I will, sir. Mr. Woolrych hoped the prisoner was truly penitent, and would lead a better life in future. Ho asked her if she would go home with her mother and lead a good life. The prisoner —I will, sir. Mr. Woolrych—Then I will discharge you. Go home with your mother. - AYS 6; 7/ --- 1 } 1 P if li 12 4i 4 r 1P 23 .24 13 13i 8 1 20 21 1 41:1 411 8 10 7 6 44 45 49 61 4 3 d 14 16 101 9t l Of 21 21p 305 315 71 71 105 105 21 22 AND SI of each af 101 103 fl~ s~ * Fl made 99 101 id par )London and S.African.. y London & Westminster )0 Metrop. & Provinl.

SS account of the Japanese The Salut Pubis's) of LTyHoEnsgives JAPANESE the followin g AM BA Am bassadors :—" Th e great event of the d a y is the arrival here of the Amb assa d or s of Japan. The em b assy is com posed of five ambassadors, 12 officers, an d some servants. The chief is a man of about 50 years of age. They have an intelligent physiognomy, although thei r countenances are not very prepos sess i ng; the nose is large and flat, the lips thick, the eyes oblique, the co m p le xion sallow, and the head large. Th e i r h a i r , of a jet black, is raised up on the head, which gives the younger portion of them a rather feminine appearance when seen from behind. Several of them have the head completely shaved, but none have the I slightest appearance of a beard on theface. They are gene rally dressed simply in garments of dark colours, and with little ornament. They wear a silk tunic, trousers, of white muslin, and sandals of yellow leather. They all wear in their waistbelt a dagger more or less richly chased, according to their rank or dignity. They have on their heads a kind of Chinese hat in straw, those of the Ambas sadors being gilded on the inside. The Japanese are very sober. They usually drink liqueurs and rice water ; and as regards food the prefer boiled poultry. They y sit at table, use knives and forks, and season everything they eat with pepper and spice. They are rema rkably cl ean i n th e i r manner of eating, as w e ll a s in their daily habits. They do not appear to be at all annoyed at the c ur i os ity w hi c h they excite. They app ea red astonished at the princely luxury of the hotel at which they have alighted, and where they occupy the splendid apartments on the first floor. In the evening every part was lighted up in the most brilliant manner, and an immense crowd collected in front of the house," IRELAND. DUBLIN, 'WEDNESDAY. The adjourned debate on the Catholic University in the Dublin Corporation, was resumed yesterday, [t occupied the whole day. The amendment, " Thal s outside the functions of the Council to discuss questions of this kind," was rejected by a large majority. The numbers were—for, 10; against, 28. The resolution of Alderman Darcy was then adopted. A memorial in favour of a charter to the Catholic University will be presented to the Government by a deputation from the Corporation. It has not ya been decided whether they 'will go in their robes, after the example of the Corporation of Limerick. The Lord Lieutenant will, of course, answer as he did before, and state that the Government cannot give their support to an exclusive system of educa tion. The system in this "University" is as much under the control of the Roman Catholic prelates as Maynooth itself. To give it a charter would be to give the hierarchy the key of the learned profes sions, so far as the Roman Catholics are concerned. The pressure of this power upon the laity is already felt to be very oppressive; but silent, passive re sistance, is all they can venture to oppose to it. The Catholic University would turn out as doctors and lawyers a body of men little better than lay monks, educated in the narrowest spirit of sectarianism ; they would be supported by a system of exclu sive dealing. As the students would be trained in the most submissive spirit, there could be nothing like independent inquiry in morals or history, or in any domain of thought over which the Church has been pleased to extend her crozier. The Government would, therefore, stultify itself by giving this charter. It would be a decidedly re trograde movement, a policy of separation and social disorganisation. There is now no demand for funds to endow the University ; but this would shortly follow the charter, as it natural consequence. There are a number of diocesan semi naries connected with theßoman Catholic Church in Ireland, all of which are being connected with the Catholic University. Three of them have been affiliated with the London University. They might with equal consistency be affiliated with the Queen's University of Ireland, for the purpose of obtaining degrees. They might have called the inatitutiou in Stephen's-green a college for the education of laymen, and been content to take their degrees from the Queen's University. Pos sibly a compromise of this kind may yet be effected. The movement, however, that has forced the question into the Corporation was not spon taneous. It shows what a few individuals may effect by organization, canvassing, and perseverance. The laity are almost passive in the matter. But, even should they be excited into temporary fanati cism by the efforts of a few individuals officially connected with the Catholic University, the feeling of the Liberal party in this'coantry is that it would be great weakness on the part of the Government to give way. If they did, they would take the key stone out of the arch of the liberal policy which the Legislature has been laboriously'building for the last quarter of a century. The Belfast _Newsletter mentions the following extraordinary occurrence :—" A few days since there was found on Trostan Mountain, county An trim, a man's head, no other remains being vi s i b l e in the neighbourhood. The head was brought to the district constabulary station, where it was ex amined by Dr. Stone. Diligent search has been made, but no part of the trunk or limbs has been discovered, nor is there any person missing in the neighbourhood. The case is completely enveloped in mystery. A LONG BILL.—The longest bill of the session has just been read a second time. It has no less than 438 sections, and occupies 158 folio pages. It contains a muni cipal code for the Scotch burghs, and some of the clauses are remarkable. Not keeping one's area " clear of all rub bish" is defined as an offence, "Hanging or placing any linen or clothes on any rail or fence of any premises" is another, and co is permitting a servant to stand on the sill of an upstairs window to clean it, but in both instances only if done to the obstruction, annoyance, or danger of residents or passengers. A fourth offence may be men tioned for the benefit of man and beast, if it will not offend ears polite : "It shall not be lawful to deposit any horse or cow dung upon the public street." ' Wh et h er th e bill 18 wholly consolidation of existing la w , or p ar tly novel, it is to be wished that Scotland may get it observed. 83 1 67} 8 Sh are 100 Stk { 20i ..,,,: 100 f 100 100 174 stock stock BtOCk 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 201 20 100 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock 100 all all` all 100 100 100 all 1921 1 1 1041 4 102 li 2 1021 95t tlOO 15 all 100 9; 6 1 i 201 O C KS. parate Year. all all all all &RES Profits •YeaX not to be t hall year.

The Loin) CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILDREN IN WORK ROUSES. The Earl of WICK LOW presented a petition, complain ing that the Presbyterian religion had been given to a Roman Catholic child in a poorhouse near Glasgow. The petitioners prayed for inquiry. The Duke of ARGYLL said, if the noble lord would supply him with the particulars of the case he had men tioned, he would forward it to the Board of Supervision in Scotland, whom, he was sure, would take such steps as the justice of the case required. The Marquis of NORMANBY suggested that a com mittee should be appointed after Easter to inquire into the subject, ADMIRALTY IMPROVEMENTS. Lord KINGSDOWN said last autumn it was under stood that formal steps would be taken for the bringing in of a bill to purchase the houses in New-street, Spring gardens, in order to enlarge and improve the Admiralty. Nothing had yet been done, and he should like to know what was intended to be done. The Duke of SOMERSET said he was very anxious that the proposed improvements should be carried out, but cir cumstances had prevented active sf eps being taken up to the present time. The inhabitants of the houses might have considered themselves safe for the present year, but he eould not answer for a longer period. THE ITALIAN PAPERS. The Marquis of NOR MA NDYconaplained:of:the scanty information contained in the papers that had lately been laid before Parliament. There being but one letter from Sir J. Hudson, and that was not of a very important cha racter he should like also to know why no notice had been taken by Sir J. Hudson of the important discussions that have lately taken place in the Chambers at Turin. A case had also occurred in connection with the proclamation against brigandage which he thought ought also to have been noticed. Earl RUSSELL said all the papers bearing on the question in th e possession of the Foreign-office had been given to the noble marquis. With respect to the particular set of cruelty referred to Sir J. Hudson, had had no complaint made to him of auy act of oppression, therefore he did not think it neeessary to give any account of it, and with respect to debates in the Chamber at Turin, Sir James was was not in that country for the purpose of reporting any circumstance that transpired in than assembly. It could not be expected that he should forward an account of every subject that took place in a foreign country. (Hear, hear.) CHANCERY REGULATION BILL. Lord KINGSDOWN moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to compel the Court of Chan cery to decide points of law, instead of leaving it to their option as at present. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock, PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Dublin (Borough) Fire Brigade, &e.—Limerick Markets Lestwithiel and Fowey Railway—Queenstown Improve ment. Several private bills were read a first time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Parochial Assessment Bill, and in most cases it was moved that these should bereferred to the select committee sitting on this bill —in favour of alterations in the Poor Law in Ireland, par ticularly as related to out-door relief—for the general sub stitution of direct taxation for indirect taxation—in favour of the Public Houses (Scotland) Bill—in favour of a reduc tion of the duty on hops—for a more equitable basis for the imposition of the Income Tax, &c. FIRE INSURANCE DUTY BILL. This bill was brought in by Mr. SHERIDAN, and read a first time. THE SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE brought in this bill, which was read a first time. • MALT, BARLEY, AND HOPS. On the motion of Mr. BASS, certain returns were ordered on the subject, including operations for the last four years respecting the amount of duty charged. THE LATE ASSIZES FOR THE COUNT OF TYRONE. Major S. KNOX asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the circumstances that occurred at the late assizes for the county of Tyrone, which led to the quashing of the jury panel and postpone ment of the trial of prisoners ; and whether, he had any objection to lay on the table a copy of Mr. Justice Chris tian's ruling quashing the said panel as - returned by the sheriff? Sir It, PEEL said that this subject had certainly ex cited some feeling in Ireland, and he had communicated with the learned judge and other authorities on the matter. It appeared that there had been a challenge of the array of the jury, and the learned judge in question ruled that chal lenge. It was not correct that the prisoners had not been tried. MARRIAGES OF CHRISTIAN CONVERTS IN INDIA. Mr. TORRE NS asked the Secretary of State for India whether he had received a copy of a bill introduced into the Legislative Council of the Governor-General of India, to legalise the dissolution of, or in some way to legislate re garding, marriages contracted by Christian converts previ ous to their conversiou ; and if so, whether he would lay a copy upon the table : should no such copy have yet been received, would he lay a copy upon the table of the house whenever the bill might be received? Mr. T. BARING said that there was not any copy of the document alluded to in the possession of the Government.: AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. CA.IRD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he would state to the house, and lay upon the table, the substance of the replies by the Courts of Quarter Sessions to his circular on the subject of agricul• tural statistics ? Sir G. GREY said that the question of the hon. member had reference to the employment of the police in the collec tion of these statistics, and the reports received were gene rally unfavourable to the use of that agency. CAPTAIN COLES' PLANS. Lord ROBERT MONTAGU asked the Secretary to the Admiralty when Capt. Cowper Coles first submitted to the Admiralty his plans, which have lately been adopted for ships of war; if such plans were to be reported on at the time; and, if so, by whom, and whether that report was favour abla or otherwise: and if there was any objection to lay the papers on the subject upon the table of the house ? Lord C. PAGET said that the Admiralty had no objec tion to laying any information before the house which hon. members might require, but it would be inconvenient if the Admiralty were to be called on for information respecting all the inventions submitted to them. It would be attended with considerable inconvenience if the reports of the confi dential officers of the Admiralty were to be made public. When her Majesty's present Government came into office they entertained the same feeling with reference to the shields of Captain Coles that their predecessors had done, not only with regard to their application to batteries, b ut also to ships. It was found, however, that there was some difficulty in the execution of the shield, but when that had been surmounted, and the experiments proved satisfactory, inventions, the the house was applied to for a grant for their construction. time to time, and With respect to the general subject of had t c ak ap en tain them co ul Coles froth h e had asAdmiralty related, been put on full pay, and claimed £ 1 a- day for his expenses during the hforowever,his w invent not ions. re eo' carry ing out of his invention. This t gar ded in the light of reuiuD.rain (Hear, hear.) MR. SAMUELSON'S GUNBOAT. Lord FERMOY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it was true that, so far back as last autumn, Mr. A. Samuelson sent in to the Board of Admiralty plans and spe cifications for a double-skinned self-submerging gunboat, similar to the Naugatuck already built by Mr. Stephens for the Federal Government of America • and, if so, whether the Admiralty will take steps to have the plan tested and adopted, as has been the case in America ? Lord C. PAGET said that Mr. Samuelson, in 1860, had proposed the plan of a vessel which would have the advan . tage of being submerged a certain distance so as to present only a limited surface above water. However, the plan was not considered suited to the servive of her Majesty, but Mr. Samuelson was informed by the Admiralty that any future proposal he might make would receive attention. (Hear, hear.) THE LARGE BE LL OP THE CLOCK TOWER. Sir J. HAY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the large beli:in the Clock Tower was to be taken down and re-east, or whether it was to be used in its pre sent condition ? Lord HOTHAM expressed a wish that any future ex penditure incurred on the subject should be first submitted to the house for their sanction• Mr. COWPER said that this bill bad been a source of great anxiety to him. (Laughter.) He had consulted some of the most eminent scientific men in reference to the bell when it was discovered that it was cracketl, and their report was to the effect that, the bell might come to pieces and fall on the heads of the passers by. Under these circum stances, he did not think he should take any steps in refer ence to the bell unless he was properly authorised to do so, and with respect to the remarks of the noble lord (Lord Hotham) he could assure the house that before any more money was expended on the bell, the subject would be brought before the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. 11. B. SHERIDTHE WARRIOR. AN asked the Secretary to the Ad miralty whether it was true that at ShoebtuTness, on Tuesday, the Bth instant, the Warrior target, or section of the Warrior's side, was twice pierced through by round shot ; whether the shot was a 1501 b. Armstrong shot, fired from a 300-pounder Armstrong gun; whether th charge of powder was 501 b. ; whether the 1501 b. shot with a 401 b. charge of powder failed to penetrate the target; and un could be worked o w n h b et o h ar e d r t a h b e ip 3 r -pounder Armstron g g Lord C. PAGET entered into a statement, which was to the effect that experiments at Shoeburyness had been gene rally satisfactory. In respect to another question, he said that the publication of the report which had appeared rela tive to the Iron Plate Committee had not the sanction of the Admiralty. He did not consider it desirable that the, results of these costly experiment should be made public. GREAT GRIMSBY ELECTION. Mr. EGERTON, the chairman of the committee ap pointed to try the petition against the return of the sitting member, Mr. Chapman, announced that the committee were of opinion that that gentleman had been duly elected. THE INCOME TAX. On the motion of going into Committee of Ways and Means, Lord R. CECIL drew attention to the present mode of collecting the income tax, which he contended was very objectionable. Sir H. WILLOUHBY took exception to the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and conten ded that there would be a deficit at tne end of the year. After some remarks from Sir S. NORTHC,OTE, Mr. NEW.. DIGATE, and General PEEL, BREWERS' LICENSES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re minded the noble lord (Lord R. Cecil) that he the (Chan cellor of the Exchequer) was not the collector of the In come-tax, but if the noble lord would furnish him with any nformation, he would direct that the subject should be inquired into. :Nlr. BASS, who had a notice of motion on this subject, said that he would move that the resolution in committee of ways and means in reference to brewer's licenses should be postponed till to-morrow.
