Igal V El' MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. An active inquiry for accommodation is still re ported, but the rates of discount, although exceed ingly firm, present no positive alteration. It is evident that the preparations for to•moirow, the 4th of the month, have exerted:some influence which may be merely temporary, but if trade expands as anticipated, and loans are brought forward and negotiated, a permanent alteration may be specially initiated. At present, however, the minimum is 21 per cent for the best bills, and ample accommoda tion can be obtained on other descriptions of sound commercial paper at proportionate rates. The en gagements which have now arrived at maturity, are rather large, but in the present healthy state of mercantile affairs, and with such unusual dis count facilities important failures are considered improbable. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited no alteration of importance. A sum of £33,000 was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The remainder of the recent Australian remittances, amounting to nearly £400,000 has been taken for the continent. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were steady. The sales only amounted to between 4,000 and, 5,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market the transactions were of a limited character, and quotations ruled lower. At the meeting of the English, Scotish, and A.astrolian Chartered Bank proprietors, the Chairman congratulated the meeting on the increased business of the Bank, and regretted That the balance-sheet had been signed by only one auditor. It was, however, explained that Mr. Reed, the auditor, had refused to sign it .on account of the the Royal Mail Com pany (viz. £11,000) not being again reported. The report was adopted. Mr. Reed, however, retired from the office of auditor. The Funds opened this morning at a slight im provement, but owing to a few sales, a reaction ensued, but the market, notwithstanding a little fatness, is tolerably well maintained. Business continues on a most limited scale, as speculation dull, and the public abstain from making invest- Meats. Consols have been 95 to 951 for Money, and 951 to / for account ; the present Prices, however, are 941 95 for money and account. The New Threes and the Reduced have been dealt in at 951 to to 951, being firm; the New 21 per Cents, have advanced to 791 ; and Long Annuities • ( 1 885), to 18 ; ditto (1860), are steady at 11-16 ; India Stock is 220 ; ditto Loan Debentures, 1858, have improved to 941, but those of 1859 have re ' ceded to 931; Exchequer Bills remain at 275. to 80a. prem. Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been Moderately active, and prices in some instances show an advance. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 80 to 82 ; ditto New Loan, 69 to 71 ; and the 4 per Cents, are 102 ex div. ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. have improved to 1031 and 104/ ; Chilian 6 per Cents. to 103/ ; Peruvian 4-1- per dents. to 90 1; and Russian 5 per Cents. to 1121. •Sardinian 8 per Cents. are steady at 853; but Dutch 21 per Cents. are fiat at 65/, and the 4 per Cents. at 1001. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on a very limited scale. Prices opened with some appearance of buoyancy, they afterwards ex hibited a slight depression, but they have again shown more firmness in one or two instances. Midland and North British have advanced 55.; Great Western, Brighton, and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s. ; North Western have declined 55.; and South Eastern, 10s.. The other lines dealt in were at about yesterday's closing quotations. In the Foreign Market Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares advanced to 101 108, and the New to 101 108, The Colonial undertakings are also a shade firmer. East Indian have risen 10s., and Great Western of Canada ss. loint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are firmer, at previous rates. The business transacted, ho'yrever, has been extremely limited.

The attendance of millers was by no Means numerous, yet a good clearance of the samples was effected, at Monday's currency. There was a moderate inquiry for good and fine qualities of foreign wheat, at full prices; but inferior kinds were v et,' dull, at late rates. Barley, the show of which was limited, moved off slowly, 9et prices were supported. In malt very little was doing, at the late decline. The oat trade was in a sluggish state; nevertheless, no c hange took place in the quotations. Beans and peas were dull ; but flour ruled firm. The 4 °roinal top price of the best town-made was 435. per 2801bs. ARRIVALS THIS VirREI: 13 71 Rah Wheat . Barley Mal 62 t.

COBDEN ON TILE NATIONAL DEFENCES. (From the Paris Correspondent of the Times.) Mr. Cobden has been so good as to give a lecture to all those, and particularly to journalists, who have urged the necessity of providing for the de fences of England; and from that lecture it may be gathered that they are inspired by a wanton and reckless desire to excite alarm for which there is no sort of foundation. Allow one who never has been an alarmist to make a remark or two on the subject. When Mr. Cobden believes that there is no chance of the Emperor of the French turning his arms against England, his assurances would have more weight if he showed that the Emporor had formally disavowed his own declarations. I have recently given an extract from his speech in the Chamber of Peers in 1840, in which he stated that one of the then objects for the promotion of which he claimed their support, was "to avenge Waterloo." " I re present before you," he said, "a principle, a cause, a defeat. The principle is the sovereignty of the people • the cause, that of the Empire ; the defeat , Waterloo. The principle you have recognised, the cause you have served, the defeat you wish to avenge." His Majesty's glory is that "the eau -:e," namely, the re-establishment of the Empire, has been gained by " the sovereignty of the people ;" in other words, universal suffrage. I have not heard that the remaining point, namely, "avenging Wa terloo," has been ford ally retrenched from the pro gramme of 1840. If Mr. Cobden shows that it has shared the fate of the celebrated Milan programme, we shall all be delighted. Mr. Cobden may point to the Bordeoux declara tion about the Empire being peace, and to the friendly relations which the Emperor has so often desired to maintain with England. I reply that the pacific basis on which his Majesty declared the future Empire was to stand has not prevented the war with Austria from being planned long before it broke out, and that the language used in the mean time towards the Emperor of Austria was not only friendly, but flattering in the extreme. Whenever I am disposed to optimism in this re spect, I am checked by the recollection of an opinion deliberately pronounced by his Majesty, and to the truth of which I assent. The Emperor has declared his conviction that there never has been a Govern ment strong enough to keep down liberty at home without giving it glory abroad. This is not a hasty passage in a speech ; or in an essay composed in very early youth ; or yet in the heat of controversy. Mr. Cobden will find it embodied in the Fragments His : - toriques, written at Ham in 1841, and carefully re published, under the Emperor's own eye, in the last Paris edition of his works, in 1856. (Vol. 1. p. 334.) If it be proved that the " liberty" to which the Emperor alludes really flourishes, notwith- Standing the general opinion to the contrary at home and abroad, of course the absolute necessity for " glory" no longer subsists, and nothing more need be said on the matter. But if this be not the ease, if the edifice raised in 1852 has still to receive its crowning ornament, Mr. Cobden will see that the other alternative must be adopted. To be sure we have had the Russian war and the Austrian war since the Empire, and consequently sufficient glory. This, however, is plainly not the glory meant. The glory of the Crimea was a divided glory—divided with the English. The glory won in Italy is rather of a doubtful character; Ido not mean the gal lantry displayed on the battle-field, but the more solid glory of the results. The glory gained in Piedmont and Lombardy clearly has not realised all the hopes of the Italians, and some say it has not completely satisfied the French army or the navy. This would appear from the Emperor's own words in his addresses to the great bodies of the State, and to the diplomatic body. Now, there is no per ceptible change in the regime of 1852 ; it is, per haps, too soon to relax it, but at all events the other necessity has still to be supplied. I'am not of those who believe that the Emperor Napoleon conceals, under the mask of friendship, a deadly animosity to England. I do not even be lieve that the French people, without exception, cherish the same feelings. There will always be more or less of rivalry, more or less of jealousy, more or less of antipathy, arising from difference of habits, tastes, character, and the traces of old hostility ; but from that to a burning impatience to rush into an exterminating war, there is a great distance. The observation of Lord Lyndhurst, in the House of Peers, is profound and true. We may have every reliance on the Emperor Napoleon, but unfortunately the Emperor cannot entirely rely on himself. Ido not say that, when his Majesty says it is his earnest desire to remain on good terms with England, he does not mean all he says. But even he may be forced to bend according to circum stances. His wish, when he assumed the Imperial crown, may have been to remain at peace abroad, and to employ his energies in promoting the wel fare of his people it home. A people already pos sessing, though unfortunately too often abusing, liberal institutions, and abruptly deprived of them, will become more or less dissatisfied when the novelty of the change has subsided. Dissatisfac tion at home will have to be allayed by engrossing events abroad. This, perhaps, promoted the Rus sian war, and the immediate and pressing cause of the Italian war it is superfluous to n' tice particu larly. Before the war we heard constantly of the sympathies for poor suffering Italy as the only mo tive for it. Since the peace it is admitted by the semi-official journals that the principal motive was' not of so chivalrous a character, but rather the re storing to France the influence in Europe which was her due, and the rank to which she had a right. Suppose, what is not impossible, that France should show symptoms of impatience at the delay in " crowning the summit of the edifice," that is, in relaxing the strictness which has been deemed neces sary hitherto, and the Imperial Government did not think the proper moment had arrived. Now, if a new measure of glory was deemed an equivalent, or perhaps more than an equivalent, for a new measure of liberty, Mr. Cobden will guess what is the Power whose humiliation would best supply that terrible necessity, and most flatter the national vanity. This, without imputing any predetermined projects of hostilility to the Emperor, will always be a danger. Indeed it is hardly in human nature that the Emperor should hate England to that point, as never to dream but of hostility to her. It was in England that he found a secure asylum, when in no other part of Europe could he set his foot ; and of his relations with the English people during his many years of residence among them he has no reason to complain, and he never has complained. It was the Queen of England who took the lead in recognising the new Imperial Throne ; and the only time an attempt was made to insult her Majesty was when foreigners, who also found a refuge on English soil, denounced her visit to the Emperor of France. I do not believe that it has entered the Imperial mind to" conquer" England, or perhaps to invade it with a view to occupation. But one or two vic tories at sea, a successful landing, or some such advantage, with a magnanimous offer of peace, would satisfy the national amour propre,and above all, would turn the attention of the nation from its internal affairs. For these reasons, I would cer tainly vote, but without panic or alarm, in favour of armaments, and the best defences we can have. TURNPIKE-GATES AND TOLL-BARS. The report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire as to the best means of affording relief to the inhabitants of the metropolitan districts within six miles of Charing-cross, by the abolition of turn pike-gates and toll bars, together with the minutes of evidence andappendix, has just been issued by special order of the the House of Cammons, The inquiry divides itself into two branches, one relating to the repairs of the roads, the other to the payment of the debts. Six distinct modes were suggested by the witnesses ex amined by which the turnpike-roads might be maintained if the tolls were abolished. These are discussed by the Commissioners in detail. The Commissioners decline to recommend the imposi tion of county rates, an additional house-tax, or the appropriation of the present dues on stage and hackney carriages. They think that if the Bd. coal duty be continued, part of the proceeds thereof may be conveniently applied to the purposes by the Commissioners 'contemplated. They refrain, how ever, from the expression of any decided opinion on this point. Waiving this question, and assuming that toll-gates are to be pt rid of, the Commis sioners recommend that every parish which does not prefer taking upon itself the repair of the roads within its limits, shall pay 2d. in the pound on the amount of its assessment to a common fund, and that such further sum as may be required for the repair of the roads not taken by the parishes be raised by a rate-in-aid, to be levied in all parishes within the district of the Metropolitan Board of Works. This sum would probably be about £27,000. The assessment of the whole die trict in 1858 wos £12,031,151, so that a rate-in-aid of little more than one halfpenny in the pound would be sufficient. I The parishes which do not manage their own roads would be called upon to pay the rate of 2d., and also the rate-in-aid (21d. altogether.) To other parishes it would be about one halfpenny. All the roads not undertaken by the parishes, as well on the south as on the north by the Thames, would be placed under the supe rintendence of the Metropolitan Roads Commis sioners. The debts of the indebted trusts should, it is suggested, be raid off by a general metropo litan rate of 2d. in the pound, or the sum might be advanced, as in New South Wales, by the Exche quer Loan Commissioners, a term of years being allowed for its re-payment. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(TEas DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. BEVERLEY ELECTION. Sir F. BARING brought up the report of the general committee of selection nominating the committee to try the merits of a petition, complaining of as undue election and return for the borough of Beverley. BODMIN ELECTION. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that he had this day received a letter from the agents to the petitioners, complaining of an undue election and return for the borough of Bodmin, stating that it was not intended to proceed with the said petition. ELECTION PETITIONS. __ The members nominated to serve on the following elec tion petitions were called to the table and sworn—the borough of Preston, and Kingston-on-Hull. NEW WRIT'S. _ _ On the motion of 11fr:BRAND, a new writ was ordered for Taunton in the room of Mr. Labouchere, who, since his election, has accepted the office of steward of the Chiltern Hundreds ; also for the borough of Devonport, in the room of Sir Thomas E. Perry who has accepted the office of one of the Council for India. The Chester and Holyhead Railway Bills went through committee and were read a third time and passed. LAW OF PROPERTY, &c. BILL. The Law of Property and Trustees Relief Amendment Bill went into committee. After a protracted discus ion of a desultory and strictly technical character, in which Mr. Rolt, Mr. Malins, Mr. Walpole, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Headlam, and Mr. Hadfield took part, clauses 1 to 12 inclusive were agreed to after several verbal amendments. On clause 13 being proposed, Mr. ROLT expressed a hope that the clause would be withdrawn, inasmuch as it would be a question on scintella jur is, which had long been obsolete in the courts of law and equity. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the clause, and urged the right hon. gentleman who had charge of the bill (Mr. Walpole) not to abandon it. Mr. MALINS concurred in the views of his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Rolt), and contended that the clause was both unnecessary and useless. The clause was however agreed to without a division, as were also Clauses 14 to 24 inclusive. • On clause 25, Mr. MALINS drew attention to :the provisions of this clause, which was not one of technical law, but one affect ing every landowner, every creditor, and every debtor in the kingdom. As the law now stood a judgment entered was a charge upon the lazed ;. but this clause sought to en act that a judgment per se should not be a charge on land until a writ of executton was lodged with the Sheriff, and unless this was done the debtor might aleinate his estate if he thought fit, He held that iiwas better to leave the law as it stands, and therefore he should give the clause his un com prisin g opposition. The SOLICITOR-GENELAL thought the clause might be productive of serious mischief, especially in the case of Exchequer proceedings for penalties. The clause would operate with great-harshness. Mr. WALPOLE said he would not oppose the omission of the clause, inasmuch as he considered the question of sufficient importance to be discussed in a seperate and dis tinct measure. Mr. HADFIELD supported the clause, which he con sidered to be the most valuable enactment of the bill. Mr. MURRAY opposed the clause, which was nega tived without a division. On clause 29 being proposed to stand part of the bill, Mr. HADFIELD moved that it be omitted. Mr. WALPOLE defended the clause, which went to provide for the punishment of vendors, or mortgagees, and their solicitors, who should be guilty of misrepresentation, suppression of deeds, or fraud. Prosecutions, however, could not be hastily instituted, for the clause provided that such proceedings must first receive the approval of the Attorney or Solicitor-General. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the clause, and suggested a verbal amendment. Mr. MALINS supported the clause. Mr. MURRAY generally supported the clause, but objected to the proviso that prosecutions should be first sanctioned by the Attorney-General, which sanction would be regarded by the public as a proof of the guilt of the accused party. After a few words from the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. WALPOLE asked the committee to agree to this clause as it stood, and he would undertake to amend it on the next stage of the bill. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses of the bill having been agreed to, Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of a clause by which trustees should be authorised to invest trust funds on real security, Bank Stock, and India Stock. The clause was agreed to and added to the bill. Mr. HODGKINSON moved the insertion of a clause to give power to executors or administrators of a mort gage to convey the legal estate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clause as at present framed. After a lenghty conversatinon, in which several hon. and learned members participated, the clause was negatived. Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of a clause to enable trustees to compound any bad or doubtful debt, or give time for payment, when, in his judgment, it would be for the benefit of the estate to do so. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the committee would not assent to the clause, which was vague and uncer tain. At present an executor could compound a debt, andif he did that for his testator, which a prudent man would do on his own account, he would be indemnified by the Court under the 34th clause of this bill. The clause was negatived, and the preamble having been agreed to, the bill was ordered to be reported, with amend ments, and the house resumed._ 2 I PI!! 21 21 76 77 9 11 211 22 6 7 125 135 35 37 1 1 1 R A BRITISH MINES.

CHARLES LYNCH (THE AMERICAN) AND SIMON FINIGHTY FOR £5O A-SlDE.—These men have be fore met within the ropes, on which occasion the battle was awarded to Finighty in consequence of its being alleged that the American had hit a foul blow. The American was anxious to retrieve his credit, and his friends resolved that he should have an opportunity of again meeting his opponent. The match produced an extraordinary amount of interest. Many of the rounds were remarkable for the rapidity of the fighting. The belligerents were confined to Bst., and on Monday they went to scale at George Brown's, when both were ascertained to be within the prescribed limits, the American, who is a little Hercules at the weight, having that ad vantage ; Simon, on the contrary, appearing deli cate in constitution. After an agreeable voyage the ring was pitched.on a well-known spot. Finighty had for his seconds John M'Donald and George Brown; while Harry Brunton and Jerry Noon did the requisite for Lynch, who Was the non-favourite at 5 to 4. Having taken their positions at the scratch the men commenced the contest. Lynch forced the fighting in his usual determined manner, getting home on the ribs with telling force, while he received on the head, on whi ch, however, Finighty did not appear to make any impression. Forty-two bustling rounds were fought, and from the looks of the men there did not appear any extensive damage done ; but when all imagined the following round was about to begin, Finighty, to the surprise of all around the ring, wa lk e d u p to his man, and acknowledged th a t h e h a d had enough. Many at first were of opinion that a certain gentle man, named " Barney, had given the whisper, but there appears little doubt that Finighty was beaten on his merits, as this was the conviction of the ma jority of those who were on the ground. The battle lasted one hour and ten minutes. JOHN PERRY AND PADDY TURNER, FOR £lO A- SlDE.—These men, Who fought at catch-weight, also contended in the same ring. Perry, who is a fine fellow, was waited upon by W. Gillam and J. Hicks, while Denny Sullivan and Dan Collins did the polite for Turner. They had a merry bustling mill of 40 minutes' duration, during which 28 rounds were fought, when Turner was compelled to cry, " Hold, enough !" and thus, with the most perfect order and regularity, terminated the doings of the day. TRE MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS IN BORNEO. The China Telegraph contains the following ac count of the massacre at Banjermassing, on the south coast of Borneo, briefly mentioned in a tele gram on Saturday : " It appears that for some time past great discon tent existed among the natives at the election of the new Sultan, who was not the lineal descendant of _ their late ruler, but had been ad o pt e d by hi m as a son, and a conspiracy was formed to depose him, unknown to the Dutch Resident, Count Bentheim Fecklenburg Rheda. At the head of the conspiracy was a certain Aling, a native of Mulling, who aspired to the sovereignty of Ban jermassing, calling himself in his proclamations by the style and title of. Radja Kuning. On the breaking out of the conspiracy, a general massacre of the Europeans was to take place. The flag of the ' conspirators was unfurled on May 1, and the Euro pean workmen employed in the coal mines of Julia Hermina, belonging to a joint-stock company, and situated near Kalangan, were suddenly attacked, overpowered, and brutally murdered, with the ex ception of two or three women, who managed to con ceal themselves with their children. An attack was then made on the establishment at Rangeran, but the assailants had to draw off with some loss, hav ing met with a very warm reception. In other parts of the island the massacre of the Europeans was general and simultaneous. Amongst the unfortu nate victims of this brutal and wholesale murder are five German missionaries (Messrs. Hammer, Rott, Wiegand, Kind, and Hofmeister), with their wives and children. The total number *of Europeaditmur dered and missing is between 70 and 80. Most pro videntially, Col. Andreson had arrived a few days previously (April 28) with a detachment of 150 men of the 9th battalion, to relieve Count Bentheim of , the civil government as resident, and to take the military command of the station. This probably preserved Tatus, the chief town of Banjermassing, from a similar horrible fate ; but a party of 50 men, sent for the protection of Pangeran, were intercepted by a strong band of rebels, and obliged to return. Orders were immediately after despatched by the resident to send over the other five companies of the 9th battalion, some artillery, and half a company of Sappers, by the Dutch war-steamers Montrado and A rdjuno, to Banjermassing, as a reinforcement and protection. Later accounts had been received from Pangeran, stating that the little band of Europeans shut up there were defending themselves most he roically, and had successfully withstood and driven back the assailants ten different times. Great com plaints had been made against the government, or at least against the resident, for no t a ff or di ng t h e work men of the coal mining company the protection pro mised by their charter, And the Governor-General had ordered an official investigation to he made with a vie of ascertaining whether these charges had any foundation. The following also were among the victims of this cold-blooded outrage :—Mr. Wijnmalen and family (except the three youngest r. and Mrs. Motley an d c hild (E ng lish), ger, Messrs. Van H erc k en , Ei se nger, Brood. ap e n h r i a ld ll re in n z ), Nn e THIRD EDIT I ON. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

Mr. CONINGHAM said that as this vote was; under stood, to be reduced next year, he would withdraw his op position to it on this occasion. The vote was then agreed to, as was the vote of £69,215 to defray the expenses of the Treasury chest. On the vote of £30,000 for the Submarine Telegyaph Companies being proposed, Mr. AYRTON asked the position of the Government if the company did not proceed with the Red Sea line ? Mr. LAING replied that the position was the same as the Government guarantees to the other lines. The vote was then agreed to, as was also £12,000 for the Niger Expedition, £7,949 for the Zambesi Expedition, £4,700 for the inspectors of corn returns, £1,946 for the registrar of joint stock companies, awl £11,850 for revis ing barristers. On the vote of £3,332 to defray the expenses of the po lice at Aldershott being put, Mr. W. WILLIAMS objected to this item. It was monstrous that such a sum should be required to keep a body of soldiers in order. Mr. LAING urged that the police were necessary to keep, not the soldiers, but camp followers in order. The vote was then agreed to, as was a sum of £3,000 for the inspector of burial grounds. On the vote of £2,000 for the National Portrait, Gallery, Mr. SPOONER denounced the vote and expressed his determination to take the sense of the committee against it. Mr. AYRTON was of opinion that the proposed vote was a lavish and useless expenditure of the public money. Lord PALMERSTON reminded the committee that this was a question which had already been fully discussed, and that this was not a vote for the advancement of art, but for the formation of a gallery of portraits, which served to illus trate the history of the country. He could not but think that this was a highly interesting subject to the country, and that it was maintained at a comparatively trifling ex pense. Mr. CONINGHAM objected to the vote, and contended that the collection might be brought under the machinery of the National Gallery. Mr. STIRLING supported the vote, which was opposed by Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR. After a conversation, participated in by Sir J.V. Shelley, Mr. Augustus Smith, Mr. Blackburn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Ridley, Mr. Briscoe, and Mr. W. Williams, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the vote . Against it 35 Majority The vote was then agreed to. A vote for a sum of £2,050 for the boundary survey of Ire land was agreed to, as also were the following :—L2,140 for the collection of agricultural and emigration statistics in Ireland ; £23,000 for the new courts and offices at the Four Courts, Dublin; £1,300 for Pitcairn's Islan d, and £11,440 for the General Register Office, Edinburgh. On the vote of £2,000 for the purehase of Sir [George Hayter's picture of the opening of the First Reformed Par liament, • Mr. SPOONER objected, and asked if it had been pur chased, and by whom. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if it had been paid for, it had been so by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer ; the present Governme nt had nothing to do with it. Mr. SPOONER objected to the vote. Col. FRENCH said the picture had been purchased on a vote of thctlate House of Commons, and he therefore did not blame any Government. He should support the vote. A desultory conversation ensued, which terminated in a division, when the numbers appeared — For the vote Against it ............................ 8 . 2 vote The CHAIRMAN, amidst laughter, gave his casting vot , and declared the Ayes to have it. old gun metal to be employed in the construction ie o l, The next vote was for a sum of £l,o6o:for,the purfchmitosnenof.

Mr. CONINGHANI objected to the removal S d ou V t Mr. AYRTON concurred, and urged that the Galleries should be kept at Burlington House instead of being sent to an inconvenient distance in the extreme west of London. He condemned this proceeding as an intrigue, which operated against the labouring classes and visitors to the metropolis. Lord PALMERSTON intimated that final arrangements had not been made, and the present proposition was only conditional. Lord J. MANNERS was understood to support the temporary arrangement now proposed. g to ht th to e b an e w nt ho te lly th s a e t pa i r n a s t t e it d u f t r io o n m o th f e a S s t it a e te f , or an t d he h ir. e Mr. DANIY SEYMOUR held that the Royal Aca odbe j n e l e y te o d u nelrlr.

The Bury Election Committee, this morning, decided that Mr. Peel was duly elected. POLICE' INTELLIGENCE.-(71118 DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MEDICAL STUDENT IN FEMALE ATTIRE.—Horace Jones, a medical student, residing at 29, High-street, Islington, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being dressed in female attire in Coventry-street, supposed for an unlawful purpose, and being drunk. The defendant's peculiar appearance in the dock caused considerable merriment in the court, particularly so when he raised a portion of the veil with which his face was covered. Ephraim Lord, 328 A, said he saw the defendant at two that morning in Coventry-street, dressed as he then ap peared in female attire, with a large crowd of persons fol lowing hiM, and as he was causing a large number of per sons to collect and a great disturbance he took him into custody. He was intoxicated at the time. Defendant said when the constable stopped him he was on his way home. _ _ _ . . . Mr. Beadon asked the defendant what business he had in the street in that attire, which was so likely to create a disturbance. Fined 40s. or a month's imprisonment. The defendant, who seemed ill at ease while the case was being heard, then left the dock, first lowering his veil. STREET NEWS Boys.—Thomas Collins, one of a num .ber of boys who sell iaewspapers in the Regent Circus was charged with annoying- persons by running after them, and thrusting newspapers in their faces. A constable proved the case, and said there was an in habitant of the circus in attendance who complained that, owing to the annoyance of the boys pelting one another they could not carry on business. Mr. Beadon cautioned him, and said if any boy was brought there again and the case proved he would fine him 40s.—Discharged. year's exhibition. By those means the nation would have ample aecomodation for the reception of the pictureassom prising the National Gallery. Sir J. SHELLEY said that the vote was for seven fire proof rooms, which did not imply that they were merely temporary buildings. Sir M. PETO expressed his concurrence in what had fallen from the hon. and learned member for Southwark (Mr. J. Locke), and was decidedly opposed to the vote of £lO,OOO, when a fourth of that sum would have sufficed to provide ample accommodation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it inconvenient to discuss the present relations between the Government and the Royal Academy. , It was true that certain progress had been made with the proposed tempo rary erections, but this had been done by the late Govern ment. With respect to the removal of the Royal Academdy, it should not be forgotten that the Royal Academy had for its primary function its teaching of art as taught in its schools, which, by a removal,would for a time be thrown into a state of paralysis. With respect to the Kensington museum it had been highly successful, and the building proposed would be available, after the Turner Vernon, and Sheep shanks' Galleries had b een re t urne d to Burlington House, for other purposes useful to the Kensington establishment'; therefore it was wrong to regard 'them as temporary. As to the supposed intrigues influencing the late or present Government, they existed only in the imagination of the hon. and learned member for the Tower Hamlets. After a few words from Sir H. Willoughby, Mr. Malins, Lord Elcho, and Mr. W. Cowper, The committee divided, when the numbers were— For the vote Against it Majority _ . . 43 The next vote put from the chair was for asum of X 5,000 to Mr. W. H. Barber, in consideration of the sufferings he had undergone, and of his distressed circumstances. Mr. B. COCHRANE remarked that the sum proposed was totally inadequate to the sufferings he had undergone. Mr. CLIFFORD thought the vote introdwed an en tirely new principle—that of compensating a man who had been tried and convicted of an offence ; and the principle, if good, ought to be applied to men who were tried and ac quitted. The committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the vote Against it Majority ---100 The house then resumed, when the Hull Election Com mittee were called to the bar to be sworn. The members nominated having all appeared at the bar with the excep tion of Col. F. Greville, Sir F. BARING moved that the hon. and gallant mem ber, not having appeared within an hour after four o'clock on the day appointed for swearing the said committee, he be taken into the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. The motion was agreed to. BURY ELECTION. Mr. BLACKBURN reported from the Bury Election Committee that they had resolved that the Right Hon. F. Peel had been duly elected to serve for the said borough in the present Parliament. The house adjourned at six o'clock. BRIGHTON RA CRS.--(This Day.) [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] BRISTOL PLATE.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.-Willitim Orgill, a ferocious looking fellow, about 40 years of age, who has been twice convicted of savage assaults, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with assaulting and wounding Daniel Cluny, an Irish labourer. Tt appeared from the statement of Cluny, who is a hard working and steady man, that he was passing the house of the prisoner in Elizabeth-street, Poplar, and said to him, jestingly, " How about the summons," a summons which a woman had taken against the prisoner for striking her. The prisoner called to a loose woman, with whom he cohabits, for a poker, and struck Cluny with it on the head and felled him to the ground. The man received a very severe wound, from which he bled profusely. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, in cross-examination of the com plainant, elicited from him that he gave more provocation than was admitted in his evidence in chief. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a savage and ill-condi;. tionefl fellow, and fined him £3, in default of payment, three weeks' imprisonment. It was here stated that there was another charge of assault against the prisoner. Mr. Selfe—Then I will suspend my jugdment. Elizabeth May, said she was an unfortunate woman, and lived at 34, Elizabeth-place, the prisoner kept a brothel at No. 3in the same street. Last Saturday she heard a great row in the house of the prisoner, and went there to see what was the matter. The prisoner was throwing clean• water out of a butt upon his landlady and used most dreadful language. She remonstrated with the prisoner, who turned round upon her and gave utterance to the most infamous threats, and then struck her a violent blow on the eye with his fist and knocked her down. Several witnesses corroborated the evidence of the com plainant, whose eye was blackened. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a most infamous and savage fellow. This was not tbe first time the prisoner had been charged with assaulting Women. He sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on Elizabeth May, and remitted the punishment in the first case. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.
