Sugars fully maintained previous rates, while high prices wore readily obtained for good and fine descriptions of coffee and cocoa. Rice has continued in mode rate request at steady rates, while a slight advance has taken place in the value of saltpetre. Tallow has continued inactive, and quotations for both pre sent and forward•delivery have shown little varia tion of importance. The following circular was issued this afternoon by Sir Henry Muggeridge. Meanwhile, the im pression is undiminished that the liquidation will be unfavourable. Sir Henry is stated to have re signed to day his pcsition as Alderman. The lia bilities of the house are now said to consist of about £60,000 to unsecured creditors, .050,000 to mort gage creditors, and £70,000 to trust creditors, who it is supposed are but imperfectly secured. For some little time past questions regarding the latter have been proceeding in the Court of Chancery " " 1, Ha r t- s t reet, Mark lane, C.E., March 6.

The other four got well over, Sweet William lying in front, with Bantam and Duhallow close together, second and third, Pine Apple lying off. This order was maintained round the Canal-bridge turn, and along the far side, until turning for home, where Premier (who had gone on in the rear) and Sweet William pulled up and walked in.

I.MPERIAL PABLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVJ 'G. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the ‘olsaek at five o'clock. THE REVISED CODE. The Earl of DERBY presented petitions from Glom ter against the revised code. The Bishop of WORCESTER presented similar peti tions. The Earl of ROMNEY also presented petitions to the same effect. The Earl of DERBY asked the noble lord the . 3ident of the Council to answer the question he had sent at pri vate notice of his intention of putting, relative to ti 3d, and 4th articles, in the second page of the revis code, which he looked upon as worded in a very extraordinary manner. Earl GRANVILLE said the code was propounded in the middle of the financial year, and therefore there was fear that the propositions would come into operation. The new state of affairs would come into operation on the Ist of April next, so that all examinations between that time would be conducted under the former code. He did not think that managers of school or pupil teachers would suffer any peculiar hardship. PROSECUTIONS IN PIEDMONT. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that this day week he should move for copies of all correspondence with Sir J. Hudson, her Majesty's Minister at Turin, being upon the state and number of prosecutions of thq press in Piedmont.

Riding Junction Railway Bill was discharged. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favcur of the repeal or reduc tion of the duty on fire insurances; against the Revised Code of Education, &c.

EXPENSE PROSECUTIONS BILL. In reply to Mr. MINT, Sir 61. GREY said that Jae would postpone the second reading of this bill until after he had received the depu tion which he understood was to call on him on the subject. CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION. In reply to Mr. 11. BERKELEY, Sir G. GREY said that a bill on this subject was in pre paration. COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION. • Mr. B. COCHRANE gave notice that he would move a resolution to the effect that it would be inexpedient to adopt the principle of competition in every department of the public service. LUNACY IN SCOTLAND, Mr, LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether or not a measure in reference to lunacy in Scotland would be intro duced by Government during the present session ; and, if so, when ? The LORD ADVOCATE said that such a bill would be introduced on Tuesday next. ROADS AND BRIDGES AND SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether the Sal mon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, and the Roads and Bridges' (Scotland) Bill, would be brought forward during the pre sent session ? The LORD-ADVOCATE said that there was so much difficalty and difference of opinion on the first subject, that he did not propose to introduce any bill in reference to it. As regarded the second subject, it was not improbable that a bill respecting it might be introduced. VAGRANCY (SCOTLAND). _ _ In reply to Mr. CARNtOIE, The LORD ADVOCATE said he thought he would bring forward a bill on the subject. THE REVISED CODE. In ri ply to Mr. WALPOLE, Mr. LOWE said that during the year that would elapse from the 31st of March, 1862, to March, 1863, all schools would be examined and paid on the principle of the old code. But after that date the managers of schools could either receive grants for pupil teachers, or, if they paid them themselves, they would be entitled to capitationgrants under the revised code. THE RIOTS AT LONGFORD. _ Mr. LEFROY asked the Chief &eatery for Ireland if the Government had received full information as to the re sults of the riots alleged to have taken place at the late election for Longford, and it that infer nation was calculated to alleviate the anxiety produced in the minds of many per • sons whose friends and tenants were rep •rtei to have been dangerouelywounded Ly the mob, in consequence of threats held out against them if they exercised their privilege of voting for the candidate they wished to support ; and if such was the case, if the Government proposed to take any measures to prevent a repetition of such proceedings on any future occasion f Sir R. PEEL said that this was a question which ex cited a great deal of interest, and gave rise, no doubt, to strong feelings in the minds of hon. members on both sides of the house. (Hear.) He was not surprised that after the cenes that had taken place at Longford that hon. members should express strong feelings on the subject. He believed that scenes of violence had taken place at the Longford election which had not been witnessed for a long time in Ireland. He believed also that the election —the mockery of election he would call it—at Longford would form a sub ject of Parliamentary inquiry, and that no freedom of opinion was exercised. Mr. HENNESSY rose to order. He said that, as this subject was to be brought before Parliament, he thought the right hon, gentleman should not go into the question pending that inquiry. The SPEAKER said the hon. member was right as re garded a matter of order, but whether he was right as a matter of discretion was another subject. Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had taken mea sures to prevent disturbances, and those persons who had been guilty of riot at the Longford election would be prosecuted if they were detected. (Hear, hear.) CLOTHING OF VOLUNTEERS. In reply to Lord A. VANE TEMPEST, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that it was intended to issue clothing to the volunteers on the terms contracted for by Government. BLOCKADE OF THE PORTS OF THE CONFEDE- RATE STATES OF AMERICA. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. GREGORY called the attention of the house to the blockade of the ports of the Confederate States of America, and to move an address for any correspondence on that subject subsequent to the papers presented to this house. The honourable member, in the course of acme preliminary observations, stated that his sympathies were not with the States which were struggling for dominion, but with those who were striving for independence. (Hear, hear.) Having adverted to the im portence of the subject not only to this country but to the world at large, he cited the authority of Chancellor Kent, the celeberated American jurist, and other writers on international law, and inferred from their dicta that the present blockade was illegal, and it could be shown that it was inefficient. (Hear, hear.) He referred also to the statement of Lard Lyon as to the inefficiency of the blockade, and said that the withdrawal of the blockade of the port of Charleston was a breach of all those principles of international law, which Lord John Russell said was necessary to con stitute an effective blockade, and ridiculed the explanations given by Mr. Seward in reference to the abandonment of that blockade. He quoted also the opinion of Con sul f-Burnet as to the inefficiency of the blockade, and his statement that if large vessels approached oertain ports, and of his subsequent assertion that vessels of a certain size entered and departed from the port of Charleston in the month of September at pleasure.

BT RROUGHS 'V. BURROUGHS AND SILCOCK. This was a suit instituted by M r . Th omas Proctor Bur roughs, a solicitor, practising at Stalham, in Lincolnshire, for a:divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who is in business at Stalham with his father, a wino and . spirit merchant. The petitioner also claimed damages for the alleged injury he had sustained. The respondent denied the charge, which she recriminated, pleading adultery by the petitioner with three females, and the co-respondent merely pleaded denial. It will be remem bered that there was a cross suit, in which the respondent petitioned the Court for restitution of conjugal rights, and the learned judge deferred judgment until the issues in the present case were decided. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., this morning opened the case for the co-respondent, Mr. Sileech, and said it was the first case in which he had been engaged in which a claim had been set up for damages in which not the slightest evidence had been given to show the terms upon which the two parties lived after marriage. He intended to call witnesses to re fute the evidence given by the Rev. Mr. White, and although his learned friend had said Mrs. Burroughs could not be acquitted of the charge made against her without finding Mr. White guilty of perjury, he could not assent to That doctrine, and he could not understand how that gentleman could have received Mrs. Burroughs ink. his house after she had conducted herself in the manner he had described. Mr. White had also stated that he saw the act of adultery committed on the 16th of March between the hours of three and four; but he should call witnesses to prove that at four o'clock on the afternoon o the day 'mentioned, Mr. Silcock was at the house of an elderly lady named Weeds, seven miles from Stalham, as late as four o'clock in the afternoon, so that he could not have returned to Stalham before five o'clock at the earliest ; and, therefore, it must have been well dusk when the scene Mr. White had spoken to as having seen at Mr. Burroughs' house could have occurred —certainly it could not have bees daylight as he had described. The case will not conclude to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE FRANE.SON. This bankrupt was a builder in Westminster. road, and came up for his last examination and discharge. The bank rupt was in custody. The debts and liabilities amount to about £B,OOO, but the assets are nearly or fully to that amount. Mr. Sorrell, Mark-lane, applied for the bankrupt's dis charge from eustods, and asked for an adjournment for six weeks to enable the bankrupt to furnish accounts. His Honour said that the examination had been once ad journed for that purpose. Mr. Sorrell submitted that this ease ought to be taken as though it were the first meeting, as the bankrupt had been adjudicated to be so, against his urgent protest, on the first visitation of the registrar under the new act. The bank rupt objected to the adjudication, inasmuch as he being a , builder had entered into certain contracts, and the whole of the property would become forfeited in the event of the ad judication in bankruptcy taking place. lie (Mr. Sorrell) had on the last occasion obtained enlargement of the time until this day for the bankrupt to surrender, to give him an opportunity'. to sup6rilede, but on investigating the affairs' he (Mr, Sorrell) found that the pay ment of the creditors would depend on the realisation of mortgaged property, &c., before-mentioned ; and although the bankrupt was anxious to do all he could for the benefit of his creditors generally, and to prevent any particular creditor from obtaining the advantage of the forfeiture, yet as an act of justice to himself, seeing that he had been in prison several months, he submitted to the adjudication. His Honour, therefore, could see that this was not an ordi nary case of a bankrupt acting contumaciously. His Honour granted the release, and adjourned the exa mination till the 28th April. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) LEDIARD V. COLLIER-EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF THE TIPPLING ACT. This was an action brought in the Court of Common Pleas to recover £2 7s. 6d. for champagne, brandy and gin.. and-water, and cigars. Defendant pleaded never indebted except as to 155., the Tippling Act, and payment of 15s. into court. Mr. Robertson Griffiths appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Phi'brick for defendant. Plaintiff said ho was formerly an innkeeper, of Colchester, and defendant wag a traveller in the employment of a firm which supplied plaintiff with spirits. Plaintiff owed this firm an amount, and defendant called for payment. As usual in such cases, defendant gave an order, and that was for four bottles of champagne. It was very good and went off with a "pop." (Laughter.) He went away without paying, and subsequently, upon a future occasion, he par took of cigars and brandy and gin and water to the extent of 19s. 6d. The champagne was charged at 7s. per bottle. _ _ Cross-examined—l had been married about six montho before this affair, I did not stand a bottle of champagne. He did not tender me half-a-sovereign as payment of the wine. He paid nothing towards the champagne. I never said, " You've stood one, and I've stood one, and now I'll stand another." Nor did 1 say, "If you pay half-a-sove reign that will be sufficient." He did not pay half-a-sove reign in my presence to my daughter, whu was barmaid. I did not refuse to accept payment for the brandy and water and cigars upon any occasion. Mr. Collier gave evidence against me upon a trial, and so far as that trial is concerned I have failed, and after that failure I brought this action. I have never gone by the name of Leonard. Mr. Philbrick—l believe there has been some diPputs about a wife of yours—about a double wife ? (Laughter.) Mr. Griffiths objected, and the question was not pressed. Mr. Philbrick urged that this was a spiteful case brought because defendant had ventured to give evidence against the plaintiff. Such a case as this ought never to have been brought in the superior court, and it was evidently taken to the court above for the purpose of making cists out of de fendant. By the tippling act it was clear that plaintiff could not recover, and whatever slur might be cast upon it, it was a time immemorial statute, not yet repealed. Defendant said that when he called upon plaintiff, that person insisted upon " standing" a bottle of champagne before anything was done. That was drunk, and then plain tiff refused to settle unless witness stood a bottle. Then witness stood one, and finally a third was brought, but wit ness refused to partake of it. Witness threw down 168. as payment of the bottle ho awed, and plaintiff took it up and kept it. Plaintiff refused to settle the account until the wine was stood. Witness never had more than ls. 6d. worth of brandy and water, and then plaintiff would not accept the money for it. Witness gave evidence against plaintiff in a Chancery suit. Cross-examined—ln reference to the Chancery suit, my principals gave bills to the extent of £7OO for the Angel, and that was the agreement. I do not know that a great sum was loet in cashing the bills. Ido not know if plain tiff went to Australia as an actor. He went to the gold fields. Mr. Gtiffiths—Yes, and you have some of his gold. Mr. Miller, one of defendant's employers, was called and examined as to the spirits consumed upon the occasion of his visit. Cross-examined—The gin was not as I sent it, It was adulterated, and was not nice. Ido not know about sugar, but there was a great deal of water in it. (Laughter.) I advised him about the adulteration. The house was a dis reputably conducted one. I was in it for three hours. I am not ashamed of myself, as I went to buy the house. the tills I gave aro due in July and December, and will then be paid. Plaintiff's daughter said she was bard:laid to her father, and she proved taking the half sovereign paid by de fendant. Crose•esamined—l have had a difference with my father. Ho knocked me about. Re-examined —I left through his ill -usage, but I have sworn the truth to-day. - Mr. Philbrick then argued that he had made out his case, mhe re under subpoena, and up, remarked that the plaintiff and Mr. Griffiths said this was a most painful case, but plaintiff had certainly made his out. The daughter Secondary,ha d in ce summinge though it might be called hard, she was bound t o s p ea k the truth, and it was improper to oast a doubt u p on h er evi learned a evi dence.

A FATHER'S RECOGNISANCE FOR RIX CRILD RS TREATED.—Sarah Howard, a girl, 11 years of age, wax charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing a cloak from the shop of Mr. John Garmeson, linendraper, of Totten ham-court-road. Thomas Woodall, assistant to Mr. Garmeson, said— About five o'clock yesterday afternoon I saw the prisoner pass and repass several times, trying to knock the cloak off a pile by the door by pushing her shoulder against it. At. last she took it from the pile and ran away; I then sent a young man after her, and she dropped it. I had suspected. that she was about to take something. Mr. Yardley—lf you suspected she was going to take fie cloak, why did you not stop her from doing so ? She is, only 11 years of age, and was tempted, ane. if you had prevented it she would not have been brought here. The witness—lt was unpinned in the course of the after• noon t wo or three times. Mr. Yardley—And yet you let it be taken; it was very wrong G f you. Are you sure it was on the pile when 'she took it ? The witness—l am. Alfred Mitchell, 298 A, said he received the cloak from one of the assistants, and the girl said she did not steal but found it on the ground when she passed. She had been once before at the court, and her father had been bound over in the sum of £2O to take care of her for two years. Charles Howard, the girl's father, here stepped forward. Mr. Yardley—This is not the first time your daughter has been here. Father—She was here once for a paltry thing. Mr. Yardley—Don't talk ahout a paltry thing—it was a felony. She was convicted of stealing, and you were bound over in the sum of £2O for her good conduct for two years;. Do you know you have forfeited the sum of £2O ? If you• only picked it up and walked away with it, you committed an offence. Ido net envy the young man wko let such a girl walk away with a thing instead of trying to prevent it She was strongly tempted to steal the cloak, thinking she would escape notice, and though she was seen, no ono tried to prevent her. You (to the father) seem to have been re gardless of your duty. You have forfeited the sum of £2O, and if these penalties are not enforced it will become a joke to impose them. I shall order your recognisance to be estreated, and if you do not pay you will go to gaol. The father said he could not pay it. Mr. Yardley—ls there not a reformatory at Hampstead ? The Clerk said there was, but he did not think they would take the girl in for less than £2O. Mr. Yardley--1 never heard such a thing. It is perfect nonsense to think of paying that sum. The Clerk said that he believed that was the sum stated in a case when Sir R. W. Carden interfered at this court. Mr. Yardley said he should remand the girl with a view of getting her into a reformatory. TRIES DAY'S MARX.ETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to were et Good sampleswheat and fine c h an ged hands steadily, at full quotation s ; but iaferior parcels met a slow sale, at about previous rates. There was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat, ex granary. The amount of business doing was by no means extensive, yet no change took place in the currencies com pared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices ruled fair. Fine barley moved off steadily, at quite previous rates but other kinds heavily, on former terms. The malt trade was dull, at late rates. _ _ The supply of oats was moderately good, and the trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Beans and peas moved off heavily, at about previous quotations. The flour trade was rather inactive, yet prices were fairly supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. - neat. Barley. Malt. Oath.
