UT. SHARE IV CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets the operations during the last few days have been rather inactive, and prices have remained without any material variation for tea, sugar, cocoa, and rice. Coffee, however, has been in good &mend, and in some instances a slight advance has been obtained. Saltpetre has been in active request, at enhanced rates, while tallow has been dull for both present and forward delivery. Continued quietude prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were un changed. The sales were 5,000 bales: A call of 255. per share has been made by the directors of the Great Northern Railway Company, payable on the 10th pros. Notice has been given that the dividend, at the rate of 7s. per share, on the Antwerp and Rotter dam Railway Company for the past year is now in course of payment. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday were of an unimportant character. The Mexican dollars, by the Atrato, have been sold at ss. id. per oz. The half year's interest on Ceylon 6 per cent. Debentures will be paid on and after the 15th inst. A moderate amount of business is reported in the Money Market - to-day, and the rates continue firm with rather an upward tendency. It is thought that the remittances of specie which will shortly have to be made in connection with the Turkish, Egyptian, and Russian Loans, must ultimately exercise an adverse influence upon the market. The London and Brazilian Bank is the title of a new undertaking, which has been' very cordially received. The capital required is £1,000,000, in 10,000 shares of £lOO each. The directors are highly influential, and the shares are already at about 3 premium. The applications are very nu• merons, and the list will probably close in a few days. 'HIS DAY.

The accounts were prepared by Mr. Boyd, of Alderman bury Postern, and Mr. Saffery, of Basinghall-street, was appointed to examine them on the part of the assignee The bankrupt had rendered answers to requisitions, but Mr. Sargood insisted on an account from the assignee, who claimed to be the largest creditor, extending over a period of 13 years. 102 IC3 €,l 01.1 81 gi 83 86 Si 84 80 t.,3 5 ei p 1021 102 j 104 104. _ 25 213 71 74 6) 63 40 43 , 45 li 38 10 38 40 1021 1021 1014 102 A 12t 121 7i 71 102 101 03 E 5 92 115 1014 1024 94 96 92 04 The question of discharge when disputed is directed by the new Act to be heard before a Commissioner, but as Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, to whom the case was allotted, was anal le, through illness, to attend, Mr. Lawrence pro posed that the case should be referred to Mr. Commissioner Pane. Mr. Sargood—l object. Mr. Commissioner Fane has no jurisdici ion. IMr. Lowrance—Then, there it ends. Mr. Ilszlift decided that it was within his jurisdiction to hear the application for passing the last examination, and a long discussion arose, :resulting in no beneficial effect, for the question appeared to arise on the amount of two debts, but even after the fullest inquiry, it would onlylead to the expunging oz reducing the proof, as the estate will not yield a dividend to the creditors. Mr. Lowrance submitted that it would bo a most unfair thing to prevent the bankrupt passing, merely because a creditor refused to submit to the infliction of an investiga tion of his books for 13 years, and especially when the accounts were closed in 1859 the bankrupt and the creditor having gone through the accounts, and the bankrupt had certified them on oath, it would be monstrous to ask a man to submit to such a requisition. Mr. Bayley for the assignee, considered the opposition most vexatious, there not being the slightest pretence for it, and an adjournment for the purpose would entail enormous trouble and expense, and the costs to be borne by the per son applying. 5 7 4 6 103 i 1044 P 201 200 0 100 #d, PETITIONS. The learned Registrar said that he saw no reason for refusing to pass the examination, but he would adjourn'the the case for a week to see whether any addition could be made to the statement.

Mr. 11. BERKELEY said that he had received various applications on the subject of the ballot, and he begged to give notice that he would state on next Tuesday week, the day on which he intended to bring the question forward. SOCIAL CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. SLANEY gave notice that he would move for leave to bring in a bill to improve the social condition of the working classes in or near large town 3. EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. BLACKBURN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was intended to go on with the Education (Scotland) Bill ; and, if so, whether the second reading would be proposed on Thursday next. The LORD ADVOCATE said that he did not propose to proceed with the second reading of the bill next Thurs day, but he would state the course the Government would take with regard to it. 'THE BOARD OF WORKS IN IRELAND. Sir H. BRUCE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a bill into Parliament this se-lion, to enable the Board of Works in Ireland to extend their advances for the purposes of draining and erecting farm buildings and la bourers' cottages. Mr. PEEL replied in the affirmative, and said that the measure would be only temporary. VENTILATION OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS, &c. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Secretary to the Ad miralty, if he would lay on the table of the house the re port of the committee appointed by the Admiralty to consi der the ventilation of her Majesty's ships : whether her Ma jesty's ships and vessels detined for tropical climates since the reception of that report had been fitted in conformity with the opinion of that committee; and whether the offi cer commanding the Coquette, a gun-vessel now preparing to sail for China, had applied to have the ventilation of his ship improved; and, if so, what reply had been given to his application ? Lord C. PAGET said he would have no objection to lay on the table tho report alluded to, but it was a merely pre liminary one. The Admiralty were carrying out the recom mendation of the committee relative t 3 vessels intended for voyages to tropical climates, and the Coquette had been fitted up for her voyage to China. THE ALLEGED ATTACK ON HERAT. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether, w;th respect to events now occurring at Herat, any proceeding or operation, diplomatic or military, had been undertaken, either by the English or Indian Govern meat, which should have a tendency to pledge this country to any act of hostility against Persia, or to any step for or against any of tho other Powers of Central Asia, without the full knowledge and consent of Parliament and the country. Lord PALMERSTON said that the only answer he could give was that, neither:her Majesty's Government nor the India Government had received any information to show that any such operations as those, in question had taken place on the part of the Shah of Persia, and he was disinclined to disb.lieve the report to the contrary. THE FORTS AT SPITHEAD. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the First Lord of the Treasury when a discussion would be taken on the pro priety of proceeding with the erection of the three forts at Spithead P Lord PALMERSTON said that the committee of defence had not yet reported on the subject, and as he had stated before it would be necessary to come t Parliament for a grant to carry on the works, and the question would then be fully discussed. The house was run away with in its views in consequence of the engage ments of the Merrimac and Monitor, and the consequence was that the course which had been adopted with reference to these works had been taken. Without any discourtesy to the house, he begged to say that when hon. members took administrative matters out of the hands of the execu tive it was attended with increased expense and diminished efficiency. (Laughter.) CEYLON. Mr. LYALL called the attention of the house to the ex pediency of transferring the Government of Ceylon from the Colonial to the Indian Department; and moved for a return of all charges, civil, military, and naval, defrayed out of the Imperial Exchequer on account of the colony of Ceylon during the five years ending the 3lstdayof Decem ber, 1860. The hon. member went at some length into details bearing on his motion, and was interrupted by frequent cries of "Divide." Mr. C. FORTESCITE, in reply, said that there could be no doubt of the improved condition of Ceylon. From 1856 to 1860 £1,000,000 had been voted for public works in Ceylon, which had been chiefly expended in the con struction of roads and bridges, which were so essential to the development of the resources of the country. He referred to the advantages which good example and good government had effected on the in habitants of Ceylon, of which he gave 'some illustrations. Ho thought the proposed transfer of the Government of the Colony would be productive of evil instead of benefit. He contended that imperial interests were beund up in the prosperity of Ceylon, and cited the fact that over £1,000,000 worth of English and Irish goods had been exported to that colony in ]B3O. Besides they possessed various naval and military stations in Cey-, lon, including the magnificent harbour of Trincomalee, which it would be most undesirable should pass into the hands of any other power. He quoted the opinions of the late Lord Wellesley and other distinguished authorities on ' colonial subjects to show how valuable the restoration of Ceylon was to this country. Ho assured the house that the Government wore fully alive to the subject. Lord STANLEY considered that the empire of India was already too large, and its extent was one of the great difficulties which attended the administration of its affairs. Besides, throwing the finances of the countries together would be attended with great complication, and then even several objections to the transfer advocated by the hon. gentleman who had brought forward the motion. Mr. LYALL did not regret having brought this eubject forward from the discussion he had elicited and would con , fine his motion to the return of the papers. The motion as amended was then agreed to. MAYNOO rri COLLEGE. Mr. 'WHALLEY, who had been frequently called for while the last three members had been speaking, and who was received with some cheers, rese to bring for ward the following motion, of which he had given notice:—" That this house will immediately resolve itself into a committee to consider the Act of the e i g hth and ninth of Victoria, for the E n d owmen t of the Co lle g e of Maynooth, with a view to the repeal o f the same, due regard being had to vested rights an d interests, " He drew the attentio n o f th e house to the differ ence in the present motion to that which he had previously in troduced. The former motion s eas for the withdrawal of the grant to Maynooth College, while the present was for repeal of the Act of 1845, and was intended to bring the grant to Maynooth under the control of this house. Ho considered that the time had arrived when the whole question of the Roman Catholic religion, the education of its clergy, and application of hundreds of thousands to their purposes, should be fully considered. He accused Lord Palmerston of inconsistenc y in supportin g th e grants of this m one y , af ter the senti men t s so Exchequer ably that the effects of such grants was to enable the Roman Catholics to furnish out of their own funds armed brigades to crush the liberties of Italy. (Cries :4' "Divide, n d i i o vi d ofe ,' h and e grants "hear, hfa money . He believed that the continua- would prove most injurious tt ' eso e to this country. [LErT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. TRANSFER OF LAND BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the third reading of this bill. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he looked upon the bill as POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH STREET, THIS RAY. TTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—Daniel Seach, of 9, Reeve's-mews, Grosvenor-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife, Eliza Seach, and threatening to murder her. Inspector George Draper, C division, said the prisoner was brought to the station yesterday afternoon. He was very drunk and violent, and twice attempted to commit suicide in the pclice cells, first by tying his belt tightly round his neck, and the second time with his handkerchief. The doctor was sent for, and said there was something the matter with the prisoner's head. The prisoner was remanded. ESCAPE FRO.II NEWGATE. THIS DAY, An escape of a prisoner from Newgate now-a days is a circumstance of such rare occurrence that when an event of that-kind occurs it is now looked upon as something extraordinary. All the prisoners, last night, at six o'clock, were, according to the regulations of the gaol, locked up securely. Amongst them Philip Craw, a German sailor, who was committed for trial from the Thames Police' Court on the 10th of April, for stealing a quantity of tea from the East and West India Docks. On the arrival of Craw at Newgute he was placed in No. 2 ward, which is situate in the west front of the gaol. On either side of the debtors' door, the one before which the scaffold is placed on the occasions of public executions, a small portion of the immense walls of Newgate outwardly appears very low, not more than 20 or 25 feet in height, but at the back of that wall, out of sight, on the right hand side runs the exterior wall of No. 2 ward, in which Craw was confined. His cell was, according to the usages of the prison, visited at different hours of night, but this morning, shortly after daylight, it was discovered that he was not in his cell, and further that the panel of the door had been by some means cut out. The blankets of his bed were also missing, and from that circumstance it was at once surmised that he had used them in making his escape. In a few minutes after, the blankets wet e discovered torn outside the walls, near to the Debtors' door, and from the marks made on the outer wall, there could be no doubt but that the prisoner had succeeded in effecting his escape at that portion of the building. The Governor was at once apprised of the cir cumstance, and information was instantly dispatched to the visiting mag!strates, who were very early in their attendance at the prison. A very minute examination and a strict inquiry is now being made into this circumstance which has created the greatest surprise amongst all parties, as the gaol of Newgate, which but a few mokths ago was to a great extent remodelled, was looked upon as a place from which escape was impossible. Up to a late hour this afternoon nothing had been heard of the man. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, May G.—Wind this day at noon—Westerly; light breeze, and very fine weather.

Th 3 Court of Assizes of the Seine, the day before yesterday, tried a woman named Laureau, aged 33, and totally blind, on several charges of robbery. The table of the Court was covered with an immense variety of stolen articles found in her lodgings. How a person deprived of sight commit so many thefts appeared inconceivable to the audience, but the mystery was soon explained; for it was stated during the trial that liar blindness arose from a sud den determination of blood to the head produced by the shock she received when caught in the act of plunder ng apartment in the Rue Rossini, occupied by a married couple named Frette. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, without extenuating circumstances, and the Court sen tenced the prisoner to 20 years' hard labour. The Madras Atheneum of the 18th of March con tains an interesting account of the opening of the line of the Great Southern of India Railway C ompany by Sir William Denison, the governor. The event seems to have gone off with great eclat. 41tred Comm] 20 I firitish Iron PIN (Ph: - Clifford - Devon G. Con..

After some discussion, the bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. THE REV ISED CODE OF EDUCATION . The house went into committee on the Revised Code. Mr. WALPOLE said that he had to discharge a duty which would be at once agreeable and painful. It was agreeable, because he hoped that the present controversy would be terminated to a considerable extent; but it was painful, because he believed that, however far the Govern. ment would go in adopting alterations in the Re. vised Code, they would disappoint some persons. The Vice-President of the Board of Education had in the rt ost frank, and he need not say in the most able manner, announced the modifications which the Govern. went had determined on adopting in the Revised Code, which-were important in their character, very extensive in their operation, and, he must add, highly conciliatory to the tone and temper of the house and country. He thought the Government should be met in the same spirit, and he advised Parliament to accept the Revised Code with those alterations, although some doubts might exist as to par ticular-portions of the code even in its modified form. He thought it right, however, while he abandoned opposition to the code, in which some of his resolutions had been introduced to make some observations which he thought were not uncalled for. He had received some communica tions during the Easter recess relative to the principal points of the Code. In the first place it appeared that the certifi cated teachers did not think they were justly treated, and strong objections were entertained respecting all the grants under the existing system being converted into capitation grants. Some of the masters in qaestion contended that they were badly treated, because, on the faith of the Government grant, they had effected insurances on their lives, which they would not be able to continue under the proposed alteration which deprived thein of all security. He Slid not think that in reality there would be any injus tice inflicted en the body alluded to. It was also said that the Revised Code would be worse than the ayatem it pro posed ter supersede; but, as he did not take that objection in the first instance, he was not prepared to do so at present. The right honourable gentle man then went in detail through the alterations which he had embodied in his resolutions, and which the Government had virtually adopted, and he vindicated them at some length. He contended that they ought not to adopt as correct the objections to which he had adverted, but at the same time he impressed on Government the ad visability of limiting the code to a period of two years, when its operation would be sufficiently tested. He could not accept the code as a final settlement of the education question until it was ascer tained whether it met the requirements of the country. The right hon. gentleman said that, of course, he would not move his resolutions, but would merely move the first as a matter of form, in order to enable hon. members to express their opinions on this important subject. Sir J. PAKINGTON, while acquiescing in the course proposed to be adopted, was not disposed to consider the concessions except in the light of an experiment. The great and striking defect of the scheme as now submitted was, that it made no provision whatever for the wants of a large portion of the working classes. Lord R. CECIL was of opinion that the system would not be productive of advantage to the poorer parishes, and that in this respect the amended scheme would not have the advantages of the original one. The real evil which he predicted fr m the alterations was the blow which would be struck at the managers of schools, who he feared had ceased to entertain confidence in the Government. The debate was continued by Mr. PEASE and Mr. AD• DERLEY, the latter expressing his approval of the course adopted by Mr. Walpole, and his belief that the conces sions made by the Government would not only carry out the objects they had in view, but also satisfy the opponents of the scheme. Mr. LOWE, in replying to various objections, said that he should be acting wrongly if he declined to accept what the house was willing to give, simply because he might hope to get something better under other circumstances on a future occasion. He declared that he had no wish to supersede religious instruction, and believed that the cote would be found to work well. It would be presumptuous in him, however, to regard the scheme as final ; but there were two points which he hoped the house would never concede, and which he had abandoned all other features of the plan to retain. They were, that in all financial matters the Privy Council should deal with managers alone, and that a portion of the grant shculd depend upon an examina tion of the children. In conclusion, the right hon. gentle man congratulated Mr. Walpole upon having so completely succeeded in his object, and behaved in the hour of triumph with such rare candour and moderation. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. WALTER moved the following resolution :—" Thai to require the employment of certificated masters and pupil teachers by managers of schools, as an indispensable con dition of their participation in the Parliamentary grant, is inexpedient and inconsistent with the principle of payment for results which forms the basis of the revised code." Mr. THOMPSON seconded the motion, which was also supported by Sir S. NORTHCOTE, on the ground that he desired to see the system of education extended, sod the advantage of it given to a class of schools which had hitherto been deprived of it. If the house came to some general resolution that the principles of the code were principles Which demanded an approach to freedom of trade in the matter of masters it would be taking a very important step. Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the motion, believing that its effect would be to abolish training schools, which must be maintained if the existing system of national education was to continue. It was in truth an attack upon the certi ficated masters. Mr. BAINES proposed a resolution to the effect, that, in order to prevent an unnecessary expenditure of public money it was expedient that the managers of a school, be fore receiving capitation money from the committee of the Privy Council, should satisfy the inspector that the cir cumstances of the parents, on behalf cf whose children such capitation grant is made, are such as to require public assistance for the education of their children. Mr. BARROW seconded the motion, which he believed would restore the national school to what it was designed to be in the first instance ; for at present the children of the working classes were elbowed out of those schools by the children of the middle classes and others who were able to pay for their instruction. Lord J. MANNERS opposed the resolution, on the ground that it would place serious impediments in the way of the managers of schools. Atter some discussion, in which Mr. Barnes, Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Lowe took part, The motion was negatived without a division. A second resolEtion, proposed by Mr. BAINES, assert. ing that it was unnecessary and inexpedient to grant public money for the maintenance of evening schools, was also rejected. Mr. H. A. BRUCE moved that the examination in any school in the principality of Wales should not be commenced until the children had attained the age of seven years. The motion ' as opposed by Mr. Lown and supported by Colonel PENNANT. On a division it was negatived by 136 to 61. The house having resumed, The Inclosure Bill was referred to a select committee. The "Writs of Habeas Corpus into her Majesty's Posses. sions Abroad Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders wire also disposed of, and the house ad journed.
