/IfOIF,Y MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week are of a more cheerful na ture, although the improvement is only of a partial character. At Manchester prices of both yarns and cloths have shown an upward tendency, and the woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield, has exhibited symptoms of improve ment, chiefly, however, in the inquiries for spring goods suitable to home requirements. The hosiery and lace trades, at Leicester and Nottingham, have continued dull; but in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolver hampton, there has been a recovery, owing to the receipt of orders to supply the requirements of the home markets. A fair amount of business took place in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were very firm. Th 6 sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. Although various joint stock undertakings are being introduced and a large aggregate amount of capital is being subscribed, the available resources of the money market continue superabundant, and the rates still ranges to 4 per cent. below the minimum at the Bank of England. A further sum of £BO,OOO in gold was added to the stock of bullion at the Bank of England on Saturday. The Shannon, which left to-day for the West Indies, conveyed £3,900 in gold. The directors of the San Paulo (Brazilian) Rail way Company have made a call of £2 per share, payable on or before the 17th proximo.

The report, which was adopted, stated that—" After making the necessary deduc tions for expense of management, and provision for bad and doubtful debts, these accounts show a net profit for the half-year of £32,042 4s. 4d., to which has to be added the sum of £1,894 12s. carried for ward on the 30th June, 1861, making a sum of £33,936 16s. 4d. to be dealt with on the present occasion. The directors recommend that a sum of £6,803 7s. 3d. be added to the reserve fund, bring ing it up to £78,000 ; and that a dividend be de clared at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, free of income tax, leaving £931 17s. sd, to be carried for ward to the next account. Since the last report a branch has been established at Bucharest, which has been most favourably received by the commu nity, and promises satisfactory results."

"The authority of the commission has therefore ceased.

THOMAS.-COMI'OSITORS' COMPANIONSHIPS.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. The plaintiffs in this case are master printers, and the defendant was the "clicker" of a companionship of com positors in their employ. He was not selected by the com panionship to represent them in their dealings with the employers, but appointed by the plaintiffs as clicker, being paid ss. per week above his earnings as a compositor. The action was brought to recover certain moneys alleged to have been overpaid by the plaintiffs to the defendant, and to recover an amount paid by the plaintiffs for certain work alleged to have been left unfinished by the defendant. The case having been referred, the arbitrator delivered the following important judgment, read to-day by NITA:Corr : " It is found by the arbitrator that the plaintiffs' claim arises—lst, for that defendant ' overcharged certain work pretended to have been completed by the defendant and his companions;' 2dly, for that plaintiffs 'expended certain sums of money in the completion of certain other work left unfinished by the defendant and his companions ;' and 3dly, for that the defendant, on behalf of himself and his com panions, misrepresented to the plaintiffs that they had per formed a certain amount of work.' The arbitrator further finds that in the books kept by the plaintiffs there is on one side debited to the companionship the sums of money drawn by the defendant and his companions, and on the other side the apportionment of the said several sums so debited among the companions, the name of each workman being separately entered aleng with the sum p,id to him as his share of the work." The claim of the plaintiffs, as stated to and found by the arbitrator, is in respect of "work charged for by the de fendant in his character as clicker, and for finishing the work left by him and his companionship undone." The word "undone" seems to govern the first part of the phrase as well as the last. The plaintiffs then do not sue the de fendant as being personally liable for damages arising from his neglect of duty as a clicker, nor do they seek to recover from him monies, obtained by him individually by means of representations which he knew, or ought to have known, to be incorrect. Their claim is founded exclu sively upon contract, and the defendant is sued as one of several joint contractors, and as such liable for the whole amount overpaid to the companionship of which he was one, or paid to complete work unfinished by them, but for which they had received the price. The plaintiffs, in order to recover, must, therefore, make out that the defendant and his companions were joint con tractors, but this, in my opinion, they have failed to do. Had the defendant, as clicker, charged and received a gross sum for the work alleged to be done, the companionship might probably, irrespective of his appointment by the plaintiffs, be considered a body of joint contractors. But the arbitrator has found that the monies they have received were claimed by and paid to them individually, and so entered in the plaintiff's books, the defendant, no doubt, receiving, as clicker, the gross amount due to the companionship, but only as an agent, and in this case it is to be inferred as an agent of the plaintiffs, by whom he was appointed and paid extra for the performance of the clicker's duties. The plaintiffs have therefore failed to make out their case ; but as they are entitled on the arbi - trator's findings to sue the defendant for his share or con tribution towards the sums overpaid by them to the com panionship, and possibly also for damages for neglect of duty; and as a verdict for the defendant here would be a bar to their recording in another action,the judgment of the Court is that the plaintiffs be nonsuited.—Nonsuited ac cordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) /lIDGMENT.-IN RE SITIER. This bankrupt was descriped as of Hyde, Isle of Wight, hotel keeper, and his Honour now gave judgment on the question of discharge. The bankrupt was opposed on the ground of rash and reckless trading, trading with fictitious capital, and omitting to keep proper books of account. The first charges were grounded on the fact that the bank rupt had given 'a bill of sale over the whole of his property, yet continued trading and contracting debts to the extent of £9OO, and the only property was a good debt of £l. He (his Honour) considered that this course of trading with a fictitious capital—for the bank rupt had none—when there was a bill of sale in the cupboard which might have been brought out at any moment and swept everything away—the trading was not only rash and reckless, but he could not conceive anything more fraudulent. The official assignee reported that the bankrupt had only given up a few books and receipts insuf ficient to verify the accounts. The bankrupt had unques tionably acted very fraudulently, but the case did not come within the last act as a misdemeanour, but 'the bankrupt had been guilty of fraud for which he might be indicted at Common Law, but he had no power under the act to direct a prosecution or grant costs—but if indicted and convicted he would be subjected to penal servitude—the question was what could be done with a man who had acted in the manner the bankrupt had done. His Honour would refuse to grant the discharge, and he should do so for a considerable period. There was also a power to sentence a bankrupt to 12 months' imprisonment, but it was not quite clear in this case, and he would rather take that which was, and refuse the discharge for 12 months without protection. Mr. Sargood applied for protection for 30 days to allow the bankrupt to appeal. His Honour said he would not grant any protection; he did not do so in a case of a B. A. certificate being applied for; he only directed that it should not issue for a certain period. In this case any creditor who held judgments, and had not come in under the bankruptcy, or obtained judgment on writs issued, might take the bankrupt in execution. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET, ASSAULTING A RIFLEMAN.—Two young men named John and Frederick Skinner, were charged with assaulting John Allen. The complainant said he was proceeding along one of the streets in the neighbourhood of the court on Saturday even. ing, when tho two prisoners came up to a gentleman named Lockhart, and, after a short altercation, commenced showing fight. He tried to prevent a disturbance, when Frederick Skinner struck him in the mouth, and John Skinner also gave him a blow in the eye. Mr. Lockhart said he was acquainted with the prisoners, but, as one of them met him on Saturday in a state of in toxication, he refused to speak to him, and hence the disturbance. A young woman also confirmed the evidence as to both prisoners striking Mr. Allen. The Magistrate fined both prisoners 20s. STEALING A COAT.—John Conner, an Irishman, was charged with receiving a coat well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Isaacs, a clothier, residing in the Strand, said the prisoner and a female came into the shop to purchase a coat. There was not one that would fit, and as they were leaving the shop ho saw the woman had secreted a coat underneath her shawl. He followed them out of the shop, and saw the woman, when they arrived at Clement's-inn, take the coat from under her shawl and put it on the pri• goner. They then went into a public-house, and he (the prosecutor) having met a constable they both went in to take the man and woman into custody. The woman ran out of the side door and escaped. The man was secured with the coat on his person. Mr. Corrie asked what he had to say to the charge ? Conner said he did not steal the coat. He had been bu three weeks from Ireland, and the woman had picked him up in the street. He was fully committed for trial. Two labouring men, named John Mansfield and John Brennan, were charged with assault. Police-constable 83 F said the prosecutor was suffering from a broken arm and some very severe internal injury. He was at present in the hospital and unable to attend. CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday, nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency. Fine bar ley and oats were tolerably firm, but all other produc9 was very dull. Very little change has taken place in the value of grain in the continental markets. Our New York letters state that both wheat and flour were offering on lower terms. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 1,2415 qrs. of wheat, 10,761 barley, 11,597 oats, 2,690 beans, 268 peas, 3,3•,56 tares, 6,564 linseed, 2,226 rapeseed, 2,964 oilseeds, and 22,986 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market there was an increased and moderately good supply of English wheat both from Essex and Kent, but more especially from the former county. The condition of the parcels, however, was bad, For dry parcels there was a slow demand, and the rates current on Monday last were barely supported, but damp qualities were very dull, and could only be disposed of by submitting to a decline of is per quarter compared with this day se'nnight. A considerable portion of the supply was left unsold at the close of business. A full average supply of foreign wheat was on sale. All good and fine qualtities, notwithstanding that the inquiry for them was far from active, were held at. prices about equal to those realised on Monday last. Inferior parcels moved off heavily, an is per quarter less money than on that day. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, yet no quotable change took place in their value, compared with Monday last. Malting barley, of good and fine quality, was in demand, at quite previous currencies, otherwise, the barley trade ruled inactive, on former terms. The show of samples of English was very moderate. In malt a limited business was transacted, at our quota• tions. There was an increased supply of foreign oats on sale. and the oat trade was in a sluggish state, at barely sta. tionary prices. Beans were in fair supply and heavy request, at a de cline in their value of is per quarter. Peas, though in very moderate supply, met a slow sale, on former terms. The flour trade was dull. Country marks were rather cheaper, but American qualities were quite 6d. per barrel lower than on Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

To-nay's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock for the time of year, and the demand for it ruled steady, at full quotations. The sheep appeared in prime condition. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Scotland, was moderate in number, and the quality of most breeds was prime, especially of the Scots, short-horns, and crosses. Notwithstanding that the beef trade was by no means active, prices were, in some instances, 2d. per 81bs. higher than on this day se'nnight. A lew Scots and crosses realised 4s 6d, but the more gene ral top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, aed Cambridgeshire we received 1,900 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 480 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 120 oxen and heifers. The show of Down sheep was limited, and the demand for them ruled tolerably active, on rather higher terms. Prime old breeds, in the wool, sold at quite 5s 6d per Blbs. Otherwise, the mutton trade was steady, at full price■ : but clipped sheep were somewhat d fficult of sale, at from Bd. to 10d. per 81bs. beneath those in the wool. Down lambs were in steady request, at fully late rates; but for Dorsets and Isle of Nights, the inquiry was in active. Quotations ranged from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 81bs. Only 40 head came to hand from the Isle of Wight. There was a steady demand for calves, and prices wet* well supported. The best veal sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.

SHAIIEIPUL CRUELTY.—COMMITTAL WITHOUT 1 FINE. —William Chalk, a carman, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with cruelty to a horse, the proceedings being insti tuted at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty.to Animals. Rutherford, one of the Society's officers, proved seeing the prisoner driving a miserable mare in a cart on Saturday afternoon, in the Tottenham-court-road. On removing some of the harness he found a large open wound on its backbone ; the wound being 4f inches long, and having a hole in the centre. Under the collar there were five different wounds, and about the teats there was a mass of sores. The prisoner said he had brought the horse from Hertfordshire. Some of the sores were of old standing. The horse was brought to the front of the Court, and a more pitiable spectacle has seldom been seen. The poor animal's back was a mass of corruption; and there is little doubt that, but for the society's officer bringing the mat ter before the Court, the prisoner would have allowed it to die in the streets. Mr. Tyrwhiit committed the prisoner for 14 days, and said if the horse was not destroyed fresh proceedings would be taken against him when he came from prison. Thomas Chalk, father of the last prisoner, was fined 55., or seven days, for also working his horse in an unfit state, the case being also prosecuted by the Royal Society.

The Marquis of NORNIANBY rose to move an address for copies or extracts of any despatches from Sir James Hudson, her Majesty's Minister at Turin, relating to Go vernment prosecutions of the press during the last two years ; also copies or extracts of any despatches from Sir James Hudson, or from Mr. Bonham, her Majesty's Consul at Naples, reporting the issue of cer tain proclamations or orders from Generals Cialdini and Vorelli, from Commandants Galateri, Narbone, De Vergili, Faieno, and others, whereby the population of verious portions of the Neapolitan territory were last year subjected to arbitrary military execution without any form of process and without any previous declaration of a state of siege , and also copies er extracts of any despatches from Sir J. Hudson, calling the attention of her Majesty's Go • vernment to statements of fact as to the condition of Southern Italy made by Neapolitan deputies in the Parliament of Turin, and reported in the official records of that assembly. The noble lord said he must refer to the statement made by the noble earl when he (the Marquis of Normandy) a few evenings ago was compelled to postpone his motion. The noble earl on that occasion did not feel inclined to accept entirely that which he had stated with respect to there clamation, and had implied that the document had s e r ee_n fabricated in the Italian newspaperin which it first appeared.

THE MURDER OF MR. FRAYTER. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Sir G. GREY said that the judge who tried the un for tunate man who committed the murder in question, wtis of opinion from his eccentric conduct during the trial, that he was insane, and communicated this impression to him (Sir G. Grey.) He directed an inquiry to be instituted. and from the certificates of four medical men, who visited the prisoner in Newcastle Gaol, there could be no doubt of his insanity. He had accordingly written to the visiting justices of the gaol, calling their attention to the facts, and reminding (them that they were bound to see that the prisoner did not in jure himself or other persons while he was in gaol. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE FROM A PARAPET.—Mary Allen, servant to Mr. Spencer Lambert, a retired licensed vic tualler, of 35,Toland-street, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with being drunk and attempting to throw herself from the parapet of the house, which is five storeys high. Mr. Spencer Lambert said that on Saturday night he was told that the prisoner, who was under notice to leave his house in consequence of her drunken habits, was out on the parapet, the house being five storeys high. He immediately went up and found the prisoner out in the gutter, and she said she would jump off unless he promised to give her a good character. He dragged the prisoner into the room, she at the time hanging half way over the parapet, and then gave her into custody. t he pri. Sergeant Clifford, E division, said at the station SEEDS.

The Liverpool Spring Cup fell to the French party by the aid of Arcadia, which must make Ducat's chance for the Spring handicaps look rosy. Costa has greatly im proved since last year, and will do a good thing some of these days. On the first appearance of the weights for the Grand National there was a general rush upon The Dane, who, according to the form displayed last year, was con sidered to be "turned loose," and the public "madly rush ing on," he was instantly installed first favourite. Then came into prominent notice the French pair, Tippler ,nd Huntsman, between whom for a brief space public affection was divided. Then Thomastown (the hope of the Irish division), Brunette, and last year's winner, Jealousy. But so suspicious were the early movements respecting the latter mare, or, rather, to the initiated, was it so pal pable that there was "something wrong," that, as long ago as the 10th of February, we drew in our Tattersall's incoln caused him to who had previously resign o t t h a e t t Thepremiership defeat to f Thettoh the H1)u " an d nt o es "dodge " at e superseded his stable companion, Tippler, in the m ar k e t ; and although The Dane rallied sufficiently to b e quo t e d second favourite, he "went" to any p r i ce b y th e c l ose o f the following week, at which period Playman, Harry, Anatis, and Bridegroom tnind their way into the quota tions—(Anatis, it should be added, was a great "pot," and Weights came out I) "dodge," and Brunette, ibacke d whilst Jealousy a t o f a short a e ewr p ta r ag i c ns e t large o fo n r e t hot outlay, y " under suspicion." Thus matters stood up to the day before the meet ing, when The Dane " came again" most mys teriously, and, although not mentioned at Tatter sall's on Monday afternoon, as little as 20 to 1 was taken in the City, and four points less at Manchester, whilst on ar riving a t tLive a r rkt therepoeo4o also, on Monday Mo n daynight, I found he h a d been one well-known bookmaker haying had a commission to take 2,000 to 100 about him I He was struck out, however, at six o'clock in the evening by his owner, Captain Christie, The Huntsman, by the easy manner in which he defeated the Jealousy and Romeo fraternity, showed that the Frenchmen had made no mis take. A certain degree of odium will ever attach to the Jea • lousy party for their "working" of that mare, who was left in to the last; but there were other horses struck out whose owners acted with just as little faith to the public. The meetings to be held this week are Coventry and Warwick, the former being fixed for Monday, while War wick follows on the three succeeding days. Mr. Merry's bill of fare extends to twenty items, seven being set for decision on the first day, seven for the second, and six for the third, five of the latter being leap races. On Tuesday,the most interesting item is the Trial Stakes, the entries and weights for which stand thus : Age et lb Age st lb Cosmopolite Audrey The Lawyer Aurelian .. 4 8 9 1 Queen of Spain .. 4 7 0 Fabius Camerino The Sage Cosmopolite or Camerino should have no difficulty in disposing of the lot that may oppose them. The Two-yr old Stakes I award to Dirt Cheap or Livingstone. The French stable are again formidable in the Warwick Handi cap, as they have both Cosmopolite and Gouvieux engaged, and there is nothing likely to interfere with the success of one of these unless it be Prince of Denmark. My remarks a fortnight ago about The Marquis for the Two Thousand are now verified to the very letter, and he is now about as good a favourite fer money as Old Calabar. A FRESH MAN.

MARINE SwlNDLzus.—Thomas Carly and John Wil liams, seamen, were charged with obtaining £9 in money, and clothes valued at £lO 10s., of Mr. Abraham Harris, outfitter, of No. 170, St. George-street, alias Ratcliffe highway, by means of false pretences. The prisoners arrived in the port of London a few days since in the ship Verbenia, which had made a nine months' voyage, and their:custom was solicited by a runner or touter in the employ of the prosecutor, who took them to his shop and they were soon rigged out in a new suit of clothes, with neckerchief, boots, new linen, and everything that was necessary to make them appear smart at the pay table. On the day the ship was paid off the prisoners did not pre sent themselves at the Shipping Office, and on inquiries being made it was soon ascertained that they had no wages to receive, and that they had never formed part of the ori ginal crew of the Verbenia, and were not named in the ship's articles at all. They were picked up in the western ocean, and had been shipwrecked out of another ship which was lost at sea. Mr. Selfe—So you have been defrauded of clothes and money to the amount of 121 Ws. in all Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris—Yes, sir; they represented to me they joined the ship in China at S3l7s. 6d. per month, an d had a large amount of wages to receive. Mr. Selfe—You would not have given them credit if you, knew they had no wages to receive? Mr. Harris—Certainly not. Evidence was given that the prisoners were arrested in Euston-square, as they were about to depart for Liverpool. The new clothes obtained from Mr. Harris were taken away in the Lemon-street station-house, and their old ones given back to them. _ The prisoners said Mr. Harris's runner took them to his shop, and said they might have whatever they wanted. They would get a ship and leave their advance notes with Mr. Harris. Mr. Selfe—And he is to keep you until that time The prisoners —We were never brcught up to be rogues —we were never brought up to be rogues. Mr. Selfe—You have taken to it very well. It is a most dishonest proceeding. I think Mr. Harris had better put up with the loss of the money, and let these men go. He has got back the clothes. Mr. Harris said it was a hard case upon him, and the prisoners ought to be punished. Mr. Selfe—Your runner has taken these men to your shop, and you force clothes and money upon them, in expectation of a good haul, as you thought they had plenty of money to receive. You are so anxious for business that you did not exercise common prudence. How easy was it for you to have asked the captain or any of the officers if the men had wages to receive P The Jew said he could not pay rates, taxes, and rent unless he was to push business a little. Mr. Selfe—l will not commit for trial and put the county to expense in such cases where clothes and money are put upon sailors in expectation of very large profits. Mr. Harris said he would prosecute at his own expense, and it should not cost the county a farthing. Mr. Selfo—Very well. I will keep you to your word. At present the prisoners are remanded. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, &von o'clock. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Secretary to the Trea sury whether in the return No. 402, o f sess i on 1861 , re hoing to pubfic income and expenditure, the public expen diture in each year was stated at the amount estimated Im mediately after the close of the year , or at the a moun t ascertained by actual audited accounts? Mr. F. I'EEL was understood to say that the accounts were not made up in either of the ways alluded to by the hon. member. ARREST OF OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES AT TANGLERS. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Under - Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Lieutenant of the Sumter, and ex-consul of the United States at Cadiz, who were arrested on landing from the Ville de Malaga steamer by the United States Consul at 'Tangier, were taken down to the harbour, and emba.rked as prisoners on board the United States frigate the Ino whether the Moorish Government di.d not protest against this proceeding-, and only yielded to th.e threat of the United States Consul that he would strike his flag ; and,:whether it was the opinion of her Majesty's Government that the jurisdiction with which, by the existing capitulations or treaties, European consuls were invested over their country men in Mahomedan countries, em powers them to take judi cial cognizance of alleged political o ffences committed in any other country; and, if not, whethe r the British Government would take means to protect our fafthful ally, the Moorish Government, from such infringeme t it of its independence ? Mr. LAYARD corrected some en tors into which he had been betrayed on a former occasion, in consequence of mis information received from Lord C owley. He said the for L A Ireland Nl if he intended to bring forward a during th e p resent session, for making the reputed fathers of illegitimate chil dren at Madrid had been communi ea t e d with, and ha trusted that the gentleman in questio n would be released. Sir. G R o ILLEGITIMATE GAN CHILDREN I se l e N ret l a ß ry E asked C the _ - dren in Ireland responsible for the in aintenance of such children ? Sir R. PEEL said he had given no' - iee for to-morrow of a motion for leave to bring in a bill on the subjeet. CITY BENEFICI ?AL Viscount ENFIELD asked the S ecretary of State for the Home Department whether the pro )visions of the Union of the City Benefices Act, passed in the session of 1860, had yet been put into operation; and, if not, inquired the reasons for such delay ? Sir G. GREY said he could give no specific information on the subject, with which Governmeiat had no power at present to interfere. THE BOARD OF INLAND REVENUE AND BANKERS' CLEM S. Mr. DISRAELI }moved to inquire of her Majesty' s Government, whether any change had taken place in 0 3 original decision (1842) of the Board of Inland Reven• 4 , e that voluntary gratuities to bankers' cler ks should not. 7 0 4 assessed under the income tax act; and the cause of tbst change, if any ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said t;liat this matter had been referred to the Board of kis nd Revenue, who considered that the gratuities alluded. to should be subjected to the income-tax. THE BUDGET. In reply to Mr. MOFFATT, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER said fchat he would be prepared to make his financial statemenit oa Thursday, the 3d of April. (Hear, hear.) REGISTRY OF DEEDS OFFICE. Col. GREVILLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland Af his attention had been called to the state of the Regis try of Deeds Office in Dublin ; and if Government intende , di to bring in a bill to carry out the recommendations conteeued in the report, which had just been printed, of the Council of the Incorporated Society of the Attorneys and Solic hors of Ireland on the subject? Sir It. PEEL replied in the affirmative. INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LAW. Mr. LINDSAY resumed the adjourned debate upon the following motion of Mr. Horsfall : " That the present stil ite of International Maritime Law, as affecting the rights of belligerents and neutrals, is ill-defined and unsatisfactory, and calls for the early attention of her Majesty's Govern ment." He said that his hon. friend (Mr. Cobden) •w ho was to have resumed the debate was unavoidably abase ut through the state of his health, but he hoped to be able to take some part in the debate. He con tended that the existing state of the law re quired amendment in consequence of our extend ed and altered commercial relations with other countries. He referred to the opinion of the Merchant Shipping Commit tee to show that the alteration he advocated was ren dered necessary. He pointed out the horrors of war, and injurious effect it exercised on commerce. He alluded also to the principles laid down at tbe congress of Paris in 1856 in reference to neutral flags and belligerent States, and argued that the rights of commerce al; d the interests of humanity imperatively require" a change in the law. Hp urged, at some length, the other arguments in favour of his views, and appealed strongly to the house not to sanction the continuance of the existing system. The LORD-ADVOCATE cautioned the house against adopting any abstract doctrine on this subject, which at the present time might be productive of very serious evils. He believed that any discussion on the subject in that house would lead tono practical effect, though it might give rise to a misunderstanding with friendly Powers. E e denied that they could lay down any principle which could possibly be reduced to practice, that in war private rights or private property could be respected. The true humanity in respect to war was, that it should be sharp in order that it might be short, and it was a principle in re gard to war that you were entitled to take property belonging to the enemy wherever you could do &LI iThe extent to which private property was to be violated was in the pro portion of the necessities of the warfare, and private rights were inevitably sacrificed. It had been said,correctly, that private debts were not confiscated at the breaking out of war, but there was no argument against his views from that fact, because when debts were cr- , 1 rac,lcd in time of peace the faith of the belligerent countries was pledged to their security, but in war there was an end to commerce between the hostile countries. The right .hon. and learned gentleman argued at considerable length in support of his views. [LEFT SPEAIING.I RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (Prom the Illustrated London News.)
