IiVIPERIAL PAHL 'AMEN T• HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE REVISED CODE. The Earl of POWIS presented petitions from Cambridge against the revised code of education. The Bishop of WORCESTER presented similar peti tions. THE TAXING MASTERS IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLAN .RICARDE said on Thursday he should present a petition relative to certain rivers in Roscom mon, and also ask whether the appointment of a third taxing master to the Court of Chancery in Ireland was to be a permanent or temporary one, as he found that one taxing master in the English Court of Chancery taxed more costs Man the whole three did in Ireland DECLARATION OF TITLES BILL. _ Lord GRAN WORTH, in moving the second reading of this bill, said the subject was to many a very dull one, and had been incidentally touched upon by the Lord Chancellor When he brought the subject under their consideration the 'other evening. To their lordships, however, the subject was one of great importance. He would not trouble the house going into the theoretical part of the question, but he should refer dealing with it in a practical manner. Every one -knew that in the transfer of land very great difficulty and unnecessary expense existed, so that that measure he thought 'which would meet with the greatest amount of support was that which tended to simplify, economise, and render safe the sale and purchase of land. in 1858, when he had the honour to hold the Great Seal, a commission 'which had examined the subject made its report, and he felt it his duty to embody the recommendations in a bill 'which he submitted to Parliament, which was of a similar Character as the Encumbered Estates Act, which had con ferred so much benefit on Ireland. Shortly after, how ever, he resigned the Great Seal, and the measure did not reach the other House of Parliament until too late 1 11 the session to be procoeded with, and consequently the : subject dropped. In 1859 his hon. and learned friend who then held the office of Solicitor-General introdueed two tills en the same subject, founded on the report of 1857, but that learned gentleman's efforts did not meet with success, and the subject had slept until the lresent time. The bill that tha noble and learned ord on the woolsack had introduced on the subject 'of the transfer of land, would entail an expense of at least 4 15,000 a year for salaries and other expenses, which he (Lord Cranworth) considered to be totally unnecessary, and he thought the subject could be dealt with by the Parties going, under certain regulations to the Court of Chancery, and the outlay for a new court would be alto gether saved. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW ➢IEMBER. Sir J. D. HAT took the oaths and his seat on his elec tion for the borough of Wakefield. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time : - Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway—Hatfield and Saint Albans Railway—Kettering and Thrapstone Rail way —London and Midland Junction Railway—London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (New Lines)—Mer `thy; Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway—Stafford and littoxeter Railway—Tandring Hundred Railway—Wel lington, Drayton, and Newcastle Railway—Kent County Gaol and Lunatic Asylum (Water Supply). PETITIONS. Petitions werepresented against the Parochial Assess tent Bill, the Revised Code of Education, the unqualified abolition of church rates, and any alteration in the law re• lating to marriage with a deceased wife's sister. TRAINING BOYS FOR THE ROYAL NAVY. On the motion of Sir F. SMITH, a return was ordered, showing the cost in detail of training boys for the Royal Navy, and the nature and general extent of the education they received. THE INNS OF COURT. Sir J. BOWYER gave notice that to• morrow week he would ask for leave to bring in a bill ;or the better govern- Men t of the Inns of Court CHURCH-RATES AFOLITION BILL. Sir C. DOUGLAS gave notice that on Wednesday next e wc uid move, on the order of the day far the second read '', g of the Church Rates Aboli ti on Bill, that the same snould be postponed until after Easter, in order that the Subje c t might be fully discussed. CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTES. Sir F . KEL LY gave notice that on the motion for going iuto CommiqQe of Supply on Friday next, he would bring the subject under the consideration of th e house, and ask e Government for information as to the course they in tended to pursue in reference to it. COLONIAL EXPENDITURE. Mr. 13 AFTER gave notice that he st ould bring the subject of colonial exr enditure before the house. ' 4 CLEGED INSI;I:T TO THE ITALIAN CONSUL AND OTHERS AT MALTA. _ _ _ Mr. GRIFFITH asked tt e Under Secretary of State for F oreign Affairs whether informati ,, n had been received that great outrage and insult was offered to the dwellings rd persons of the Italian Consul and of Signor Fabrizzi, ePuty to the Italian Parliament, and other Italian gentle- It k en, on the occasion of the Fete of St. Paul, at Malta, on 9th and 10th February, the authors of which were pre 'limed to he Neapolitan and Sicilian Bourbon refugees. Mr. LA.Y,.9.RD said that representations had been made to her Majesty's Government by the Italian Executive, to t he effect to h tthaet, o n the day mentioned, certain insults were gentlemen in question, by persons who were s upposed to be Neapolitan or other Italian refugees. An 4 tiquiry had heen instituted into the subject. ARREST OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE SUMTER. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether information had been received that the captain of the Sumter had been arrested at Tan giers at the instance of the American Consul at Gibraltar and the captain of the Tuscarora; and, if so, whether it was supposed that any pressure had been put on the Moorish Government by the American officials , or an y in fringement of the independence of the territory of Morocco had taken place in such transaction ? Mr. LAYARD said that it appeared the arrests alluded to had taken place in conformity with the law of Malta, by 'which consuls stationed there had the authority to make arrests of persons suspected of any hostile intentions towards their respective Governments, or for any other misconduct. However, the gentleman in question had been released from confinement. 'CAI TRAFFIC '1 HROUGH HYDE-PARK DURING THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Mr. W. BEAUMONT asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, with the view of relieving the crowded state of Park-lane, there would be any objection to open Ilyde-park betwe en Stanhope-gate and Apsley-gate for the passage of cabs while the International Exhibition is open ? Mr. COWPER said that Hyde-park was already so crowded with carriages, and when the addition of a number , of other conveyances was proposed, it was very question able whether such would be a public convenience. It was inapos4ible to tell at present what would be the increased n u mber of vehi c l es th at would pass through Park-lane to the Exhibition, and until that was shown in some degree at the opening of the Exhibition, it would not be advisable to make any arrangement relativ e to the subject. CONTERSIONINOTFOTHIIuEsLsIAGN DRAGOONS Captain STACPOOLE asked the Secretary of State for 'War, why the 3d, 4th, 13th, and 14th late Light Dragoons were changed into H ussars, and whe ther there w a s any we ight of their appoint ments difference in the ; also, if the officers bad or would receive any compensation in conse quence of the expense they have been put to by the change of uniform, and if the 'lien of those regiments had or would Chief, receive any compensation in lieu of their old clothing. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the alteration was made in tonforrnity with the recommendation of the committee No officers, presided over by the Commander-i n _ -No alteration would take place in the uniforms until the Present clothes were worn out. RETIRING OFFICERS IN THE INDIAN ARMY. Col. GILPIN asked the Secretary of State for India if be would lay upon the table the report of the commiss what l's who were assembled in India to co nsider upon 'terms officers of the Indian army to whom no active em ployment could be found should be permitted to retire and also the decision of the Home Government in referenc e to the recommendation of such commissiouners ? Sir C. WOOD said that he did not consider it advisable to lay any report on this subject on the table. He re peated what he stated on a former occasion, and said it was expected a large number of Indian officers would accept the terms offered by Government. Major KNOX asked the right hon. gentleman if promo -I.l°n of officers engaged in India would be by seniority ? Sir C, WOOD answered in the affirmative. RESIGNATION OF BARON RICASOLI. In reply to Mr. KINNAIRD, Loll PALMERSTON paid that her Majesty's Govern ment had received information that Baron Ricasoli had re signed, and that Signor Ratazzi had been called on to form a Ministry. BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND REGISTRATION (IRE- LAND) BILL. Mr. lIENNESSY said that he h.td a motion on the paper in reference to the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration (Ireland) Bill, to the effect that, on the mo tion for the second reading of this bill, that it should be read a second time that day that day six months. He pro posed to alter that amendment by a motion affirming that it was not expedient to employ the police as registrars of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland. TROOPS SERVING IN INDIA. Mr. H. BAILLIE drew the attention of the house to the want of system which prevailed in relieving her Majesty's troops serving in India, and contended that an alteration was required. Sir C. WOOD entered into an explanation, from which it appeared that it was arranged that the term of service in future would be 10 years abroad and five at home. Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY moved the following resolu tiog :—That in the opinion of this house that all moneys required on account of the raising, training, &c„ officers and men for service in India, and all other expenses con nected therewith, shall be voted in this house in a separate estimate ; and that all such moneys shall be repaid into the British Exchequer by the Indian Government. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that this question had no bearing whatever on the estimates before the house, the course re commended by the hon. baronet would nut be advisable. Colonel SYKES supported the motion. [LEFT SPEAKING]. 1110. NET MARKET il ND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the past week there have been symptoms of improvement in most departments of business throughout the manufacturing districts. At Man chester, however, the high rates demanded for both yarns and cloths have in some measure checked operations for the home trade, and also for expor tation. t t Leeds and Bradford there has been a slight increase in the inquiries for light cloths, and in the latter locality orders for the French markets have been received which have imparted a firmer tone. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester, Nottingham, and Hinckly, however, have been dull, while in the hardware districts symptoms o returning activity have presented themselves. A Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, the receipt of orders from several of the German mar kets, together with the demand for home require ments, has caused a more cheerful tone. Owing to the engagements due to-morrow, the 4th inst., there is an active demand for accommo dation, and the banks and discount houses are asking rather higher terms for the securities they are called upon to negotiate. The supplies of floating capital continue abundant, but advantage is taken of the increased requirements of the commercial community to exact enhanced terms for the temporary use of their resources. It is scarcely imagined, however, that any material variation in the general condition of monetary affairs will ensue, owing to the dulness of trade, and the quietude of speculative enterprise. About £40,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday. The Atrato, which left today for the West Indies, conveyed £7,539 in specie. The Ceylon, sailing to-morrow with the East India and China mails, will convey £94,028 in specie. There was a steady inquiry for most descriptions of cotton in the Liverpool market on Saturday, and prices were unaltered. The sales were about 7,000 bales. _ _ _ The Shannon, from the West Indies, has arrived, with £413,500 in specie; and the Oneida, from the Brazils, with £53,600, has been announced at Lisbon. A special general meeting of the shareholders in the Mercantile Fire Insurance Company took place to-day, to ratify the provisional agreement entered into with the North British Insurance Company for amalgamation. A Mr. Nelson ob jrcted to the principal clauses in the agreement, which he considered did not fairly and sufficiently provide for the property of the Mercantile share holders. The report, after a long discussion, was carried by a large majority. A favourable effect was produced in the English Stock Market this morning by the fall of 1 per cent. which occurred in the Rentes on Saturday, and Consols were 931 1 for transfer and 931 a for April, but the telegrams this morning report a slight re actionary tendency, and the latest prices here are 931 1, and 93 respectively. The New Threes are flat at 91i, 928 ex div. ; the Reduced at 928 ex. div. Exchequer Bills are steady at 19s. to 225. prem. ; Bank Stock is 242 and 243 ; India ditto 224 ; and ditto 5 per Cent. 1061, 1071. Foreign Securities are, in most instances, at lower quotations, and the dealings have been of an average character. Italian 5 per Cents. have de clined to 661 67/, being 1 per cent. lower; Turkish 6 per Cents, are 851 a ; ditto, 1858, 721 ; Mexican are heavy at 341 351 ; Sardinian, at 801; Spanish Deferred, at 431; ditto Passive, at 191 ; and the Cer tificates, at 61 7. '1 he Ottoman (Mires') Loan is 641 to 651; and the New Italian, 11 1/ dis. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been to an average extent, but little variation can be reported in prices. Several of the principal British undertakings, however, show increased buoyancy. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, North Western, South-Eastern, and Midlands have im proved about ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been a fair amount of business transacted at about previous rates. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are also in some instances a shade firmer.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was only a limited demand for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and in some in stances the quotations had a drooping tendency. Spring corn, however, was in improved request, at full prices. The transactions in flour were only to a moderate extent, on former terms. Very little change has taken place in the value of grain on the Continent. Accounts from New York state that produce generally was lower in price. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad were 50 qrs. of wheat, 5,482 barley, 18,739 oats, 5 beans, 3,394 tares, 2,955 linseed, 320 rapeseed, 261 sundry seeds, and 160 sacks of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were very small, but, notwithstand ing the dry state of the atmosphere during the past week, very little improvement was observed in the condition of the samples. All dry parcels were taken off steadily, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday last; other wise, the English wheat trade ruled heavy, at that day's currency. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, ex granary. The best descriptions changed hands to a moderate extent, and quotations were steadily maintained. For medium and inferior parcels the demand ruled inactive, yet no material change took place in their value, compared with this day ae'nnight. In floating cargoes of grain, a fair business was trans acted, at late rates. Fine malting barley was in request, at extreme quota tions; but all other kinds moved of slowly, on former terms. There was some inquiry for parcels suitable for sowing. Malt sold heavily at previous currencies. The show of oats was seasonably extensive, and the trade.for all quali ties was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. An increased supply of beans was on offer, and the trade for them ruled heavy, at a reduction in prices of ls. per quarter. _ _ _ _ Peas—notwithstanding that the show of samples was only moderate—were dull, yet previous rates were fairly supported. In flour sales progressed heavily, and the currencies were decidedly drooping. American qualities were disposed of to a limited extent, at 6d. per barrel beneath last Mon day's quotations.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was only moderate, and its general quality was by io means first rate. There was a falling off in the supply of home-fed beasts compared with Monday last; nevertheless, owing to the large quantities of meat on sale in the dead-market, the de mand for most breeds was in a sluggish state at previous currencies. The best Sects and crosses realised 4s 6d per 81bs., and the quality of the stock was very good. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,800 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 780 various breeds ; from Scotland, 320 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 180 oxen and heifers. We were moderately supplied with sheep in somewhat improved condition. Downs and half-breds were in steady request at full quotations ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at last week's prices. The best Downs realised 5s 6d per 81bs. About 500 clipped sheep were on offer at 8d per 81bs beneath those in the wool. Lambs were in fair supply and steady request, at 7s 4d per 81bs. _ The few calves in the market were taken off somewhat freely at late rates. The demand for pigs was inactive. Prices, however, were supported. Per Mb, to sink the offal. a. d. s. d. s. d. s. d. Crse. &inf. beasts 3 0 S 2 Primecrs-wool d 0.4 8 5 2 Second quality do. 3 4 3 10 Pnae.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(J his Day The March sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and the other civic functionaries. O wing to a longer period than usual having elapsed since the adjournment of the court, the session is likely to be a very heavy one, therebeing already 130 prisoners committed for trial, and a great number of the offences with which they are charged are of a very grave character. There are no less than three charges of wilful murder in the calendar, one of them being of a very painful nature, in which a re spectable tradesman named Wincott was killed in a most brutal manner in the open day, and in his own shop by some drunken costermongers. It seems that since the coroner's jury have returned the verdict, representa tions :have been made to Sir G. Grey, the Home Se cretary, upon the subject, and he has given directions that the prosecution shall be taken up by the Solici tor to the Treasury, and bills of indictment for wilful murder will consequently be sent up to the grand jury, and if they should return true bills the whole of the parties will be put upon their trial for that offence. At present, four of the parties against whom the coroner's jury have returned a bill for wilful murder are in Cold bath-fields Prison, but if the grand jury should find bills against them they will be removed to Newgate by a writ of habeas corpus to take their trial. There are a great many other very serious cases to be disposed of at this sessions, and among them is the charge against the five Polish Jews of having endeavoured to procure plates for the purpose of forging Russian rouble notes, which is prosecuted by the Russian Government, and Sergeant Ballantine is specially retained to conduct the case on behalf of the authorities of that country. Among the other cases to be disposed of at this session it appears that there are 15 charges of burglary, and no less than :33 of the prisoners are charged with uttering counterfeit coin, a class of offence that appears to be very much on the increase. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OETAININCA A QUANTITY OF LINEN BY FRAUD.—Mary Ann Nagle, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining a basket of linen of the value of £6 by false pretences from Mrs. Mary Brumwell of the Horse and Groom, 301, Oxford-street. Mr. John Brumwell, son of Mrs. Brumwell, said the pri soner called on Monday, the 13th January, and asked for the linen, saying that she had been sent by Mrs. Lush, the laundress. He told the servant, believing the prisoner's statement, to give her the linen, and she did so. The linen had never been brought back. Susan Abbiss, servant to Mrs. Brumwell, proved giving the prisoner the linen. Mrs. Lush, of 23, Coach and Horses-yard, Old Buzling ton-street, said she had employed the prisoner, but never sent her for the basket of linen.. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said he apprehended the prisoner on Saturday night, when she said the linen had been stolen from her. He believed there was a previous conviction. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till Monday next, when she will be committed for trial. NOVEL MODE OF PLUNDERING LODGINGS.—DETER MINED PUREIUXT.—John Johnson, a dyer, Was charged as follows : The prisoner had a pair of goloshes when taken into cus tody, and had with him a black bag and two cards, on which were written, "Mr. George Brace, passenger to Bar net," there being little doubt that his plan was, when he secured any booty, to tie one of the cards to it, or to the bag's mouth, so as to deceive the police in the event of this being stopped. It appears that at an early hour this morning, Mr. James O'Ryan, a lodger at the house of Mr. Daniel, 21, South Molton-street, heard some one in his bedroom, and said, " Is that you, Mr. Daniel F" The prisoner said " Yes," but hearing that it was not, he jumped out of bed and pursued the prisoner, who opened the street door. Mr. Ryan, de termined not to lose the prisoner, pursued hial, and brought him back, and gave him into custody. Mr. Ryan, in answer to the magistrate, said he could not tell how the prisoner got into the house, and that he was awoke by hearing some one at his clothes on the table. Mr. Daniel said on going down stairs he saw Mr. Ryan, who was in his shirt, pursuing theprisoner in thestreet. Se veral latch keys were found, one of them opening the street door, on the slab near the street door, but they did not belong to the house. Inspector Walker said he believed he had seen the pri soner before. Robinson 163 C, exhibited the bag to the magistrate, and it was one of a very capacious description. Prisoner was remanded for a week, Mr. Tyrwhitt com plimenting Mr. Ryan, who is a tall and remarkably fine looking gentleman, on his clever capture of the prisoner. -- - . ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD. —Joseph Wills, of 15, Pitt-street, a papier-mache maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with seriously catting and wounding a man named John Earl, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. A certificate was put in from the Middlesex Hospital stating that the injured man was unable to attend, it being signed by the house surgeon, It appears that the prisoner, who was living with his mother, was on Saturday night breaking up all the articles of furniture, and his mother, who was assaulted by him, cried " Murder." The injured man went to see whether he could pacify the prisoner, who was very excited, when he was stabbed in the throat through a half-closed door. Moorcroft, 165, said on taking the prisoner into custody the only remark he heard was " Very good." He found a knife in the prisoner's waistcoat, but the prisoner said that was not the one he had done it with.—Remanded. THE WEATHER. PROBABLE TO-MORROW. North Britain..

The Lincoln Meeting, as anticipated, turned out success ful. The sport was good, and drew together a large num ber of spectat. rs. My predictions for the principal races proved correct, viz. —Ducat, for the Trial Stakes; Dirt Cheap, the Brocklesby , Duhallow, the Steeplechase ; and Ducat and Suburban, the Lincoln Handicap. The Derby and Notitngham Meetings take place this week. The Nottingham Meeting commences to-morrow. There are 30 horses weighted for the Spring Handicap, Petra heading the lot, with Bst 121 b, and his chance is not a forlorn one. Ariadne, after her exhibition last week, will likely stay at home. The next that attracts my attention is Doncaster, 5 yrs, 7st 71b, who has been very leniently dealt with by the handicapper. Furious has only 101 b more to carry than he did last year, when he successfully carried off the race, and for him I have the greatest respect. Were Ducat to put in an appearance, I would not look fur ther for the winner; but, as he is engaged in the North amptonshire, the Metropolitan, City and Suburban, and other large handicaps, he had better be left alone till his number is hoisted. An investment on him for the other large handicaps (with the exception of the Chester Cup , for which he has got too much weight) wil prove remune rative. In the absence of Ducat, I expect the stakes placed to the credit of Mr. Barber, by the aid of DONCASTER. The Little John should be an easy victory for PRINCESS LOUISA. The other events are mostly dependent on the first day's running. The Harrington Handicap, at Derby, has 24 horses en gaged, the best of which appears to be SACERDOS. THE PRAIRIE HEN filly looks a good thing for the Staunton Harrold Stakes. The Marquis has completely recovered his temper, and he will be a better favourite for the Two Thousand before long. Remember the Tom Bowline and Wizard trial two years ago, when The ‘A , izard was sent. to 25 to 1 before the day of the race, which made Tom first favourite up to within an hour of starting, when half a point less was taken about Lupellus. The Wizard's price at starting was 25 to 1, and he won easily by three lengths, and poor Tom was third last. So my advice is not to be gulled again, as The Marquis is undoubtedly the best horse in Scott's stable, and, if he only keeps well, he will bo very formidable both for the Two Thousand and Derliy.

A warm contest is expected for the seat vacated by the Hon. H. Butler Johnstone, and both parties are sanguine of success, though it is admitted that the last Parliamentary register contains a prepon derance of Liberal electors. The two candidates are Mr. IL A. Butler Johnstone (son of the late mem ber), a young gentleman not more than 22 years of age, and Major Lyon, who comes forward as a thorough Liberal and practical reformer. First and. foremost, he says he is a decided financial reformer. He believes that the day and hour have arrived when the people of this country will no longer endure to live under a war taxation in a time of pro found peace ; and he promises to use his utmost endeavours, should he be elected, to alter and amend. this state of things. He is also a legal reformer, our ecclesiastical, as well as all other branches of our legal code, requiring, in his opinion, a full and complete revision. For the sake of all parties, he desires the entire abolition of church rates, and he makes this declaration, he adds, as a friend, and not as an enemy, to the Church of England. With re spect to the franchise, the Major says he is prepared. to give his support to any Government which will introduce a safe extension of the franchise; and, although he desires to sit in Parliament as an inde pendent man, he feels bound to declare that he knows of no public man to whom the destinies of this great country can be so safely intrusted as to Lord Palmerston. Mr. H. A. Butler Johnstone announces himself as a Conservative, not a Liberal Conservative, not a Tory, who is opposed to all progress, because it irk vovles a change, but he is a Conservative because he considers the present Conservative party to be the most earnestly and sincerely devoted to the true and permanent interests of this country. Toryism he believes to be defunct, and the spirit by which it was animated to be entirely departed from this island. He shall be prepared, he adds, always to support the Government in maintaining the honour of the British flag, and in supporting British inte rests in every quarter of the globe. He is in favour of a compromise on the subject of church rates by the application of the surplus revenue in the richer dioceses, in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners, to the purposes of the church rate, thus getting rid of the rate in those dioceses, and gra dually d ab t o o lis t h h i e ng ne c w hurch rates education c a o l d t e e g b e t e h l i e e r v . n g ile i s opposed th e old one to be far preferable. He claims for Lord Derby's Secretary of State the honour of originat ing the volunteer movement, the existence of which. saved England from a war with France, and pre served the honour of her flag in the American af fair. He is not only prepared to support the army and navy, and the volunteers, in accordance with the requirements of a great nation like England, but also every fortification from which the British flag at present floats, and also her colonies, those appendages which at are the same time the cause rm Thurs day. .s day. ou t and effect of her greatness.
