The following communication relates to tie mediation of the British Government for tie amicable adjustment of the political differences between the Republics of Ecuador and Peru : "Ecuador Land Company, 11, Warn ford-court, May 5. "Sir,—The Ecuador Land Company have received a copy of the accompanying official correspondence. General Castilla, alarmed at the interventions in Mexico, end2a voured to form a league among the South and Central American States, for the purpose of opposing all European interference in American affairs ; but several of them having intimated to him that his aggressive conduct towards Ecua. dor fully merited such interference, and that they them. selves would interfere, had they the power, it appears that he has made a virtue of necessity, and at last accepted the good offices of the British Government. " I have the honour to remain, sir, your most obedient servant, " J GERSTENBERG, "Chairman to the Ecuador Land Company." " Legation of Great Britain, Quito, Feb. 17, 1862. " The undersigned Charge d'Affaires of her Britannic Majesty has the honour to inform his Excellency Senor Carvajal, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic d Ecuador, that her Britannic Majesty, seeing with great regret the very unsatisfactory state of the relations between the Republics of Ecuador and Peru, and being convinced that a good understanding between the two Governments would greatly contribute to the progress and welfare of both countries, has instructed the undersigned to offer his good offices to the Government of Ecuador, in order to bring about a friendly arrangement of the existing differ ences. Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, residing at Lima, has made a similar offer, which has been accepted by the Government of Peru. LAW-THIS DAY. EXCHEQUER. (Before Mr. Baron Channell and a Common Jury.) BOWER V. GRANTHAM-SEDVOTION. _ This was an action by the plaintiff against the defendant, a farmer, for the seduction of his daughter. The action was undefended. The plaintiff said he was the father of five children, resid mg at a place called Hayton, in Nottinghamshire, and he now sought to recover damages for the seduction of his daughter, Ann Eliza, by the defendant. Mr. Gran tham was a farmer, residing a short. distance from them. An intimacy sprung up between the parties, and the defend ant was looked upon as the accepted suitor of his daughter. Things went on in the usual manner for some time, When, in consequence of defendant's visits becoming less frequent he made some inquiry respecting him, when he discovered that having given a promise of marriage to his daughter he had accomplished her seduction and then deserted her. After this discovery the witness demanded a fulfilment of the promise of marriage, but the defendant refused in the most decided manner to perform his promise, at the same time saying that he meant to settle all the sti-ks upon his mother, and then he and all his family might go to the devil. "The undersigned has the honour to assure your Excel lency that it will afford him the highest satisfaction to con tribute, in conformity with the wishes of his Government, to the complete re-establishment of friendly relations between the two countries ; and he avails himself of this opportunity to renew to your Excellency the assurance of his highest consideration. GEORGE FAGAN. " To his Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of Ecuador." " Republic of Ecuador, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Quito, Feb. 18, 1862. " The undersigned Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador has received with the greatest pleasure the respected official communic Ation of the Honourable Charge d'Affaires of Eng land, under date the 17th of the present month, in which heis pleased to announce that the Government of her Britannia Majesty, having seen with regret the unpleasant state of relations between Ecuador and Peru, and anxious to con.. tribute to the welfare and progress of these countries, have fit to ;Tiotruot Choir aespectivo ropiebentativeS in the two republics to interpose their mediation and good offices, in order to bring about a definite arrangement ; and that the Government of Peru have already accepted this honourable mediation. " His Excellency the President of the Republic., on learn ing this interesting communication, has commanded me to offer, through you, to the illustrious and powerful Govern ment of Great Britain the warmest expressions of gratitude in the name of the Government and people of Ecuadcr, for the interposition of their good offices in the cause of peace, and for the interest they have evinced in favour of the wel fare and progress of the two Republics. " It is in the highest degree pleasing to the undersigned to announce to the Honourable Charge d'Affairs of Great Britain that the Government of Ecuador accept the honour able mediation of her Britannic Majesty, and he trusts that •the same will result in terminating, in a manner becoming and satisfactory to the national honour and to the ends of justice, the differences which unfortunately exist between these two neighbouring and sister States. " The Honourable Charge d'Affaires of her Britannic Majesty will Le kind enough to accept the sentiments of especial consideration and high esteem with which the un dersigned has the honour to subscribe himself his most obedient servant, " RerAEL CARVAJAL. " To the llonourable Chargé d'Affaires and Consul- General of her Britannic Majesty." The daughter said she imagined that everything was arranged for their wedding, several articles had been pur chased, and the paper for the rooms that they were to occupy when they were man and wife, had been decided on. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £2OO SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE END OF A TOUGH SIIIT-HUMPHRETSON O. WHIFFER. This suit came before the Court again to-day, the names of the parties being quite "household words" in the month s of the officers of the court; and Mr. Buchanan informed his Honour that it was quite time the matter was brought to a close. Upon the last occasion the defendant was to have paid money into court, but to-day she did not come forward. His Honour—ls not Mr. Beard in this case ? Mr. Buchanan—Yes, but the defendant appears to have thought better of the matter, and indeed I do not see how she could have gone into the box and sworn that which would have made the case assume a very grave aspect, Your Honour will notice that not only is defendant absent but Mr. Beard does not attend today, nor is any money paid into Court. His Honour—The rule nisi is discharged with costs: Thus the verdict stands for plaintiff. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY.

BO VAN PAMPHLET. M. Pietri's pamphlet on Italy, recommending the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome, and the official recognition of that city as the capital of the Italian Kingdom, is highly praised by the Pebats, which declares that the counsel so given is precisely what it has been itself recommending for months back. The present situation is, it declares, alike intolerable for Italy, the Pope and Franco, and must be brought to a speedy termination. It then proceeds in these terms : _ _ " The advice which M. Pietri gives to the French Go vernment may be followed by it, without giving rise to a charge of precipitation and of imprudence. Prudence which ends in immobility no longer deserves that name. Moderation would lose its claim to men's esteem, if it were only the abandonment of an incontestable and officially recognised right. In speaking thus, we are only the echos of M. Pietri, and we do not wish to be anything more, for we find on this point in M Pietri's pamphlet the firm, urgent, and moderate expression of sentiments and convictions which are our own, with the credit and autho rity which that expression derives from the name, services, and personal position of the author. That is for us a piece of good fortune which we ought not to disdain. When we support the cause of the American Union, everyone knows the little annoyance that happens to us; there are people profound and well advised enough to pretend to see under our cards, and to explain out predilection for the cause of President Lincoln by the presence of two aides-de camp in the staff, of the Federal army (the Orleans princes.) When wt , acrueu Lee AL..... WILLL Itl. rietn, we nave a right to think ourselves sheltered from those injudicious insinuations, as well founded moreover, in one case as in the other. M. Pietri's pamphlet is for us only an argu ment ; who knows, however, whether something more may not be seen it? Who knows, whether it is not a presentiment —a favourable omen ? Several indications, among which it suffices to quote the recal of General de Goyon, and the wo , ds just spokenby King Victor Eminauel at Naples would appear to give a certain weight to those suppositions and hopes. The imagination of the populations, so prompt in foreseeing great events, regards the triumphal scenes which are now taking place at Naples as a prognostic, and already see the King of Italy on the Capitol. Is not that thrill of impatience and of public sympathy at the approach of the day which will be for Europe an immense alleviation, and will mark in the history of our age a date eternally memo rable, a fact worthy of being meditated on ? Yes, every thing appears to announce that the times are accomplished, and that soon perhaps Italy, resuscitated, free, united, and regenerated, will be able to repeat with enthusiasm the ac cents of her immortal poet— " Magnus ab integro seclornm nascitur ordo.'

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Although only a moderate supply of beasts was on offer in to-day's market, the demand for all breeds was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency.

The highest value of the best Downs, out of the wool, was 4s 8d per Blbs. Good and prime lambs sold freely, at extreme rates ; but inferior breeds moved off slowly, on former terms. The quotations ranged from 6s 8d to 8s per 81ba. About 600 lambs same to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves were very dull, end prices gave way 4d per 81bs. The top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Halifax Corporation, Queenstown Improvement , Bristol and Exeter and Chard gad Taunton Railway, and Tendring Hundred RE ilway dills were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The Stratford Gas, Farringdon Railway, Winchester Road, and Coventry Poor Act Amendment Bills were read a third time and passed. UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY complained of the mode in which bills of this description were disposed of. Telegraph bills were introduced as private bills, and the consequence was that the great majority of their lordships were in complete ignorance of many of their provisions. The present bill gave very extensive powers over all roads and streets in England and Ireland, and that being the case, he thought it was desirable something more should be known before such exi ensive powers were conferred. In many of the bills which had passed powers had been con fer red which, had the bills been dealt with as public ones, would not have been so readily granted. In one cf these bills the Government had to pay annually the sum of £35,000 bpermse a telegraph had been thrown into the R ed Sea, and from which no advantage naa Peen receivea. naa Luis bill been introduced as a public measure, the pro posal would have undergone a much greater investiga tion than it had received, and he thought that if such extensive powers were asked for, the bills ought to be treated as public bills. There was another measure, although not a telegraph company, viz., the Mersey snd Irwell Navigation, which sought to alter the whole law of the country, and before such very extensive power was granted he thought their lordships ought to be in possession of the fullest information. However, under any circum stances, he thought the time had arrived when Parliament should take the subject into its serious consideration. The Maaquis of CLANRICARDE agreed in many of the observations of the noble lord. There was a bill of the description he had mentimed—the Dublin Markets Bill — which conferred very extensive powers, and he should feel it his duty to object to its second reading. Lord REDESDA LE said he thought that all these private telegraph bills should be compelled to contain a clause similar to that which was contained in all railway bills, viz., that their provisions were to be subject to any general act passed by Parliament. He thought, however, the time had arrived when there should be some general legislation on the subject. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the promoters of the bill under discussion had introduced some very valuable modifications, and therefore he was not disposed to object to its third reading. He trusted the noble lord, the chairman of committees, would take the subject into his consideration, with a view ta produce a remedy. Lord REDESD ALE said he thought he should be able to meet the difficulty. The bill was then read a third time and passed. TRANSFER OF STOCK (IRELAND) BILL. The bill passed through oommittee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. HIBBERT took the oaths and his seat on his election for the borough of Oldham, in the room of Mr Fox, the well-known and veteran Dissenting minister, who retired from inability to discharge his Parliamentary duties consis tently with his other avocations. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Bishop Waltham Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the alleged unjust operation of the income tax, and against the ap p >iniment of Roman Catho is schoolmasters and chaplains in workhouses, &c. ALLEGED INJUTICE TO A BRITISH SUBJECT. Mr. C. BENTINCh. presented a petition from Mr. George Watson Taylor, a British subject, stating that he had sustained wrongs from acts passed by the Italian Go vernment, and ho prayed the house to grmi, him redress. The petition, which was voluminous, was lead at the table. THE MURDER -IN TIPPERARY. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief -ecretary for Ireland if he had any official information to the effect that the recent murder in the county of Tipperary was committed about 3 p.m., at a most open spot on the public high road within two and a half miles of the police station at New Inn, and three and a half miles of those at Cashel and Golden respectively, and that its com mission was not known to the police at New Inn until 7 p.m., at Cashel until 8 p.m., or at Golden until the follow ing morning. percrouo had hem arrested who were suspected of having been implicated in the mur der in question. From the information which he had received, he was enabled to bear testimony to the efficient services which had been rendered by the constabulary in Ireland in reference to the detection of those suspected of implication in this murder. Two of those persons charged with the murder were arrested about two hours after the murder was committed. COURT OF ADMIRALTY (IRELAND). Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he intended to introduce any bill during the present ses sion of Parliament for extending the jurisdiction, amending the form of procedure, and payment of salaries in lieu of fees of the officers of the Court of Admiralty in Ireland. Sir R. PEEL said it was not intended to introduce any bill of that character this session. SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. W. FORSTER asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government had succeeded m negotiating a tresh treaty with the Govern ment of the United States for the suppression of the slave trade; and, if so, whether he was prepared to lay such treaty upon the table of the house ? Mr. LAYARD said that a treaty of a satisfactory char acter in relation to this subject had been entered into, and that he had no objection to lay it on the table. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. Mr. M. GIBSON, in reply to a question, said he would not bring on this bill this evening. CUSTOMS AND INLAN REVENUE BILL. On the order for the second reading of this bill, Sir S. NORTHCOTE having taken objection to certain items in the Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, said that he had to complain of the financial theory pro pounded by the right hon. gentleman, namely, that be was responsible for any expenditure recommended to the Government. In making this observation he was only reflecting the impression which prevailed in the country, for the community at large looked forward to the financial minister as being responsible for any measures rela t i ng to finance, or at all events to Government , w ho had adopted the scheme of the Chancellor of the Exe_he!inienre- He contended that L: was a most unconstitutional doctrine. that Government should release t hemselves from the de by respon sibility of such finm c i at changes as those recommended the Chancellor of the Excheq uer, and h in e eruetpeprreerdt of the authority of the late Sir R obert Peel views. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was_oiccytohnaostfidethreadht to be the exponent and perpetuator ofthepotl s tatesman, but he denied t hat he was entitled if sense of th a t cha racter. He was only a follower in a a statesman. In illustration of that statement he said that the policy of the late Sir Robert Peel was always to have a surplus in our expenditure, and he denounced in strong terms the removal of the duty on paper, which he believed the late distinguished statesman, to whom he referred, would never have assented to under the financial position of the nal ional exchequer, at a time when the impost was removed. He condemned the policy of the Government as regarded the expenditure on military woiks, Which he contended were quite unnecessary in the existing relations with foreign co untries. (Hear , bear-) There was no chance of any country attacking us, and, according to the policy of this country, which was that of non-interven tion, there was no great chance of us invading other nations. Notwithstanding this fact the country was called on to provide a large military establishment to meet ima ginary dangers. In reference to Italy, it was most desirable that that country should work out her free dom. (Cheers from both sides of the house.) In carrying out this object difficulties might have to be en countered, and yo.; er b• h.,. 6o bo called on to interfere, but it would not be in the character of an armed mediation. Having adverted to the progress of science in regard to military operations, which had so rapidly super seded the old tactics of the military system, he admitted that the defects of our system were fully developed the events which had taken place in the Russian war but at the same time these detects had now been remedied. (Hear, hear.) Under all these circumstance, he felt bound, without any party spirit, to object in the strongest terms to the military expenditure proposed by the Government for the pry sent year. [LEFT SITTING.] INNS OF COURT RIFLES.—The benchers of the Inner Temple have presented a challenge cup to this corps for competition. It will bo shot for by bona fide members only, who have gone through the annual course of position drill and the third class of the annual course of target prac tice.

M‘Murdo, C. 8., Inspector - General of Voluntrs. THE RAILROAD TAX.—A deputation of railroad presidents is here to appeal to the Finance Committee of the Senate to modify the tax on railroad corporations, so as to be equally distributed over the entire receipts, instead . of being assessed, as in the present form, alrnos t . entirely on the receipts from passengers, leaving the income from freight to bear but a-small portion of the Igrden—Wash ington correspondent of .Piti lo/000 SPORTING-THIS DAY.

RAILWAY IN7ELLIGENCE. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the committee of the House of Com mons on the question of the amalgamation of the Eastern Counties and other companies, after consi dering the report of Captain Galton, to whom the various matters in dispute bad been referred, an nounced their determination that the Eastern Coun ties, Norfolk, Eastern Union, and Newmarket lines should be amalgamated on the complete fusion of stocks, upon the basis of the agreement of 1854, and that the difference and fixed charges in the respective companies should be adjusted by the creation of preference stock to be allocated to the Eastern Counties and Norfolk Companies in the proportion of their liabilities, being less than those appertaining to the Eastern Union Company.
