NEW ZEALAND BILL. The Dgke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to clear up all doubts relating to the powers of the Now Zealand Legislature. He had intimated to the colonial Government the desirability of bringing the provincial councils more insubordination to the Matra' Legislature, but this was a matter in which the Imperial Legislature could not interfere, as it had handed over the administration of its affairs to the colony. Earl GREY said it was understood, when the constitu tion was granted to New Zealand, that it should provide for the cost of its own Government. There was now in the colony a military force of several thousand men at the ex pense of the mother country,who,if she was responsible; ought for her own protection to have controj over the affairs of the colony. He did not 'desire the withdrawa' of the Imperial protection, but ho did object to a vote of such a meagre description as the present. After a short discussion, in which the Earl of Desert, Lord Taunton, and Lord Lyvedon took part, The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he would give the noble lord (Lyveden) -as many of the papers relative to New Zealand as would, under the present circumstances, be :safe for the public service, and with respect to the observations of the noble earl (Grey), he begged to remind them that the present measure was one merely to remedy certain local defects, and not one for an alteration of the constitution of New Zealand. The bill was read a second time. PUPLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILE,. On the report of the amendments to the Public Houses (Scotland) Act Amendment Bill Leing brought up, The Earl of MI NTO moved that the bill bg . re-com mitigl to a committee of the whole house. 'LEFT SPIER :LNG.] HOUSE OF CO)IMONS.—Tius DiT. The SPEAXER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12. POLICE AND IMPR BIL OVEMENT (SCOTLAND) L. The house went into committee on this bill. Clausei to 14 were agreed to. On clause 15, Sir M. STE WART said he believed and hoped the bill now before Parliament would never pass into law. He would have opposed the bill going into committee, but he thought he should have had no chance of success. Many of the provisions of the bill were coonst rous and thoroughly non sensical. His objection to the bill was that it tied proprietors of land and occupiers ill towns hand and foot, and placed them at the mercy of a body of, commissioners and magi-. strides. The only safeguard was that the commissioners might have the good sense to throw away 200 or 300 of the clauses, and to look for one here or there that might work. He did not believe that Scotch members generally had read the bill. Tho LORD ADVOCATE said he could only account for the strong language -used by the hon. baronet by the fact that he himself had not read the bill. He believed the bill was regarded in Scotland as one of the most important sani tary measures ever introduced. If there were nonsensical clauses in the bill he wished the hon. baronet had pointed them out to him. He thought the bill was exceedingly well drawn up, and that it would work well. The difference between it and Lord Rutherfurd's bill was that Lord Rutherfurd's bill could on ly have been worked as a whole, whereas this bill might be adopted in parts. Clauses up to 83 were agreed to. - . On clause 84, Mr. BLACK proposed to add "provided further, when in any burgh, under the provisions of any Police Act, a higher rateof assessment is now and has been in use to be levied upon lands and tenements above a certain fixed rent than upon lower rented lands and tenements, it shall be in the power of the commissioners, in laying on the assess ment under this Act, to continue the same relative rates of assessment, if they think proper. The amendment was negatived end the clause was agreed to. On clause 88, Mr. C. EWING proposed as an amendment after the word "may,' to insert "if they think fir, exempt from the police assessment under this net all promises which shall be lot at a rent not exceeding £3, or such lower sum as they may think fit for that purpose, and that in respoct to pre mises let at any higher rent, they nay also." The committee divided — For the amendment Against it .. Majority . ..... —4B The amendment was lest end chase tho was agreed to. Clauses to 177 were agreed to. On tho motion of Sir M. STEUART, clause 178 was struck out. The remaining clauses of the bill, making 466 in all, were then agreed to with some amendments. Sir J. FERGUSON brought up a new clause giving the Commissioners of Supply power to petition the sheriff for extension of boundaries, so as to be co-extensive with the burgh boundaries. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the clause. The cerimittee divided— For the clause Against it Majority The clause was therefore lost. The bill then passed through committee, and the sitting was suspended at 10 minutes to 4. At 6 o'clock the house resumed, aid was [LEFT BITTING] LONDON GAZETTE.—This Evening.

THE CAPTU‘ TRCASSIAN, A correspondent of a contemporary writes as follows The facts are these :--I, with the rest of the officers and part of the crew of the steamship Cie cassian, joined her in London to go thence to Car diff and afterwards to Bordeaux, and there await orders as to our final destination. On our arrival at Bordeaux we were informed that our vessel was to proceed to Havanna.h, after taking in a general cargo for that place. The goods (consisting chiefly of wine and spirits) were accordingly shipped, and we proceeded on our voyage, and, after touching at St. Thomas's for coal, we had arrived to within about 30 miles of Ho.vannab, and were at the same time not more than seven miles from the coast of Cubs at 0 e.m. of the 4th of May last, when we discovered an American war steamer approaching no from the offing. On nearing us, after asking us our name, " Where from and where bound ?' and rtceiving in reply our name, ports of departure, and destination, we were ordered to "heave-to" and stop until they should search us, this co der being, as we considered, in direct violati on o f t h e right of search. We still con tinued our course, with the English ensign flying. On our persisting on our course, which still was and always had been direct for the harbour of Haven nab, the American steamer (the Somerset, Captain English) immediately commenced firing, first a blank shot and then live shells from her rifled guns in quick succession, which burst in all ut directions, doing luckily wounding but ono man slightly, but a good deal of injury to our rigging, &c., the whole of the port side of the fore shrouds being completely shot away. We then, in order to save life and further damage to the ship (being completely unarmed), hove-to, on which they ceased firing, and sent a boat on board, well manned and armed. They then examined our papers, but finding them correct, commenced broach ing and examining our cargo, and although they found nothing contraband of war, they took posses sion of the ship and cargo in the name of the Prc sident of the United States, assigning no reason whatever for so doing. After taking possession of the ship they sent more men, heavily armed, and a number of Marines on board, who were drawn up on the quarterdeck, and ordered to " load with ball cartridge," and " fix bayonets," which beingdone they hauled the English ensign down and hoisted the American flag in its place, at which the crew of the Somerset commenced cheering vociferously, in honour of their daring achievement. Half of our crew were then ordered on board the Somerset, and we were taken in tow by her to Key West, where we remain still. A few days after our arrival here a boat from the Somerset came alongside with more men and Marines (at about 8 o'clock in the evening), who immediately were placed as sentries to all our cabins, those officers of our own ship being re quired to remain on deck, where they happened to be when they placed the sentries, and we were one by one ordered to accompany an officer and two Marines to each of our cabins, which were then minutely searched, and all our private letters and papers seized, and have not yet 'been returned. The Commodore, having arrived in the mean time, ordered our crew, who were prisoners on board the Somerset, to be sent back to the Cir cassian, and the English ensign to be once again hoisted. I have further to add that on our arrival here the captain repeatedly asked permission to go on shore to the English Consul, but was each time refused, and we had not the benefit of his advice and coun sel until we had been in the port three days.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A WILL.--On Tuesday morning last r as some workmen were engaged in sawing a piece of old timber that had been removed from a house which is being rebuilt in the High-street, Lindfield, they cut through a cavity in which was concealed a will, pur •porting that the house, of which the beam bad formed a part, was not to be sold out of the family " of the legator."

JUSTICE KEAT ING'S CLERY..—Yesterday morning, shortly before seven o'clock, the g reatest excitement was created in the neigh bourhood of L orrimore-road, Ken nington Park, by the rumour that a gentleman had destroyed his life at his resi dence, No. 1, Lansdowne-terrace, and unfortunately this was but too true. From inquiries made it would appear that the deceased, Mr. Philip Colgrove, aged forty years, was clerk to Sir H. Keating, one of the Justices of the Court of Common capacity Pleas, in whi c h he had been sometime employed, and w as highly respected. He was heard to rise at his usual time, about six o'clock, but on the servant girl, nearly an hour afterwards, going into the washhouse, she was h orr ifi e d t o behold her unfortunate m.N,haosettnte,rohf several hatne g ing to the rafters. She at once gave an alarm , m persons rushed in and cut him down. Dr. Lucas-road, was quickly iu attendance, but gage is opinion that life had been extinct upwards of an hour. So determined had the deceased been that he had fastened the cord, which was quite new, three times around his neck, with a running noose, the end being strongly tied to one of the rafters. He must have then got upon a stool, kicking it from under him, as it was found thrown over. The unfortunate gentleman has resided in the same house for ten years, and leaves behind him a wife and four young children, one of whom is but a few months old. Infor mation was at once forwarded to Mr. Cooke, the coroner's r esent can be ascertained for the officer, and no cause at p dreadful act. We are requested to state that the band of the Corps of Commissionaires will play this and every other evening in at. James's Park, from 7 till 8.45 further notice. rn- At 10 o'clock last night Prince Napoleon, enteredacco p.m., until panied by Count Flahault and two other gentlemen, frein the gallery of the House of Commons in which osiog Ministers usually sit when they attend its discus ns. The Prince remained until one o'clock, and during his stay Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Cobden, and Lord H. Lennox went up to the gallery and conversed wit l 3 him. 71IE AMERICAN HARVEST. The advices from New York this week state that the accounts respecting the approaching wheat har vest in the Western States are very conflicting. The new issue of £30,000.0 00 of inconvertible paper was expected to be speedily authorised, and mean while the question as to the probability of the Tax Bill being passed this session seems scarcely to ex • cite the slightest interest. The proposal introduced by the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs in the - House of Representatives, for an en lergement of the canals to enable vessels of war, in contravention of the spirit of the existing treaties with Great Britain, to reach the lakes, so as to place that frontier '° beyond the reach of foreign aggres sion, and effectually relieve it from further menace or insult" appeared to be much more popular. A return of the stocks and specie held in the banks and sub-treasury on the Ist of June showed the total to be £7,680,000, against £11,520,000 on the Ist of June, 1861. The fraudulent issue of Indiana State bonds continued to be a subject of anxious discus sion, owing to the extent to which advances had been made upon them. The Indiana authorities were already putting forth pleas to prepare the way for a repudiation of liability, although the bonds were duly executed in every respect, and the State itself had in evented a timely discovery of the fraud by concealing it long after it had come to the know ledge of its officers. Meanwhile, according to the usual practice in America of charging every public man with malversation, as a matter of course, re ports were in circulation that " a leading Federal officer in the service of the Revenue Department rs in some way mixed up with the transaction." With regard to the cotton question, should the export t u d se ut b y e finally adopted for the imposition of b an a en7which is equal to a farthing sterling per d . a " nd Europe pay devised in order to make Eng the e t other glY teherevirieqeueboltea stimulustCs the Ci, v t i o l j . rsvn i a 3 dri ev a%i e :E e awgil w yilp i l l tp l ' t ra h eev u de s be offered cotton producing countrcre h ;aos enter r been w i t allegedh confidence tobe themh America.
