This bill was read a second time. TRADING COMPANIES WINDING -UP IgLL, This bill was read a second time. THE CHARLES ET GEORGES. Lord WODEHOU SE rose to move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty for a copy of the telegraphic despatch of the 16th of October, 1858, referred to in Mr. Howard's despatch of the 27th of October to the Earl of Malmesbury, as printed in the correspondence respecting the Charles et Georges. The noble lord said, in bringing this subject under the attention of their lordships, he must notice an important omission in the blue book that had been presented on the subject, viz., the absence of dates in many instances of several of those despatches. In the observations he should have to address to their lordships he should have to refer to the French Government in terms of condemnation. It was known that the French Government had entered into a plan for supplying labour to her colonies which, no doubt, was sure to degenerate into a practical revival of the slave trade. Having stated then, in outline, the affair of the Charles et Georges, the noble lord said it would be remem bered, that a 'gentleman named Macleod, the British consul at Mozambique, had drawn the attention of the Por tuguese to the fact that French ships were sent to their territory apparently for the purpose of prosecuting the slave trade. The Portuguese Government despatched a vessel to the place mentioned when the ship was seized, and 110 negroes having been discovered on board, some of them were interrogated, and it was elicited that they had been brought there against their will. The defence of the French was that the vessels were not in Portuguese waters, and also that there was an official on board which legalised whatever business the ships were engaged in. The noble lord then quoted several passages from m Wheaton's International Law" to show that the mere presence of a 'French delegate was not sufficient to justify the ships engaging in an illegal traffic. It had been said that the presence of such a personage would prevent illegal conduct on the part of the crew, but this was absurd, as slaves were actually found, and they had been brought there against their will. The conduct of Govern ment had been such, that if proper measures had been taken that which now presented a very serious aspect might have been very easily settled. During the whole of the negotiations that had been carried on Lord Cowley had been left entirely without instructions, and, there fore, he was entirely precluded from taking any decided course, and the French Government was left to pursue their original line of conduct, as if the British Government had taken no steps whatever. There was the same want of instruction in the case of the British resident at Lisbon, and the Portugnese Government was eventually advised to accept a miserable subterfuge, and compelled to get out of the difficulty in the most ignominious manner possible to imagine. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tms EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was received with cheers, took the oaths and his seat for the University of Cambridge. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

DIVINE SERVICE IN THE ARMY.

And similar return of the religious instruction provided for her Majesty's forces in India, at the various military sta tions in that country, or in the field, during the past year, specifying the name and religious denomination of each chaplain or assistant chaplain appointed during the year, and the amount of outfit, if any, a ll owed.—Agreed - PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Mr. COX gave notice that, onthemotionf - or the second reading of the Government Parliamentary Reform Bill, he would move the insertion of a clause for the repeal of Sept en nial Act, and the shortening © of the duration of the Parliament. CAPITATION GRANT. Sir A. AGNEW asked the Vice-President of the Com mittee of Council whether it was his intention_ m to propose th e extension of the Capitation tionGrant Schools Scot land? said that the subject was unde r con )era ADDERLE y proposed to extend the grant in pies sidtion, and it was ion to_Scotland. COMPANY. ATLANTIC TELirbp'd Mr. BERKELEY as --- certain conditions being GitthAePCHhancellor of the Ex it was in chequer whether, in the event of accepted by the Atlantic Telegraph ComPanh a guarantee or tended to confer upon them exclusively not first be sub vention, or whether the same p extended to any other company esfablish an efficient line of communication across the Atlantic ? that-miegghet wouldbe t the e said it The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not the intention of the Government to grant exclusive privileges to any particular company. AUSTRIAN MILITARY DESERTERS. Mr. BOWYBR asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it was true that military deserters and other subjects of the Emperor of Austria were being or had been lately received and enrolled as soldiers by the Sardinian Government; also whether her Majesty's Go vernment had received any information regarding the ob ject of that enrolment, and had offered any and what ad vice to the Sardinian Government on the subject with re ference to the preservation of the peace of Europe ? Mr. SEYIVIO UR FITZGERALD said it was much to be regretted that the Sardinian Government had adopted the course alluded to, and her Majesty's Government had given that Government advice not to have recourse to any act that would lead to an interruption of the pacific arrangements that were being made by the European powers. LANDED ESTATES COURT (IRELAND). Mr. J. FITZGERALD asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of Government to re commend the appointment of a third judge of the Landed Estates Court (Ireland), in the room of Judge Martley, lately deceased, having regard to the return contained in Parliamentary paper, 83, of the present s ess i on. Lord NAAS. said that no judge had been appointed, but the matter was tinder consideration. PREPAYMENT OF LETTERS. rir. RICH moved that while this house wouldsur ort measu res for the correction of any abuses' of the privilege o f t ra nsmitting letters t h r ough th e p ost without previous payment, a nd for the gradual restraint of the practice itself, yet it considered that the order by the Postmaster- General of the 27th day of January last, under the autho rity of a Treasury warrant of the 29th day of January Jest, which absolutely deprives the public of this privilege, by directing that all home letters posted after the 10th day of February last, and not prepaid should be opened at the Post-office and returned to the writers, would expose individuals to serious inconvenience and injury : and further, that the compulsory prepayment of foreign and colonial letters, under like penalties, required revision. The hon. gentleman, after a few observations, withdrew his motion JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. Mr. COX moved for leave to bring in a bill to empower Joint Stock Companies who were unable to register with limited liability, under the provisions of the Act 19 and 20 Vic. c. 47, to do so on or before the 31st day of December, 1859. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the hon. member had fallen into an error with reference to this subject, be cause there was really no practical impediment to public companies registering. A bill would come from the Upper House with reference to the consolidation of the laws relat ing to the winding-up and registration of all public com panies ; and he trusted, • under the circumstances, the hon. member would not press his motion.. Mr. COX said ;he would accede to the suggestion of t he right hon. member. Themotion was then withdrawn. THE CHARLES ET GEORGES. Mr. KINGLAKE called the attention of the house to the correspondence respecting the Charles et Georges ; and moved for an address for further papers relating thereto; viz.—Copies of despatches and documents sent by or communicated to her Majesty's Government respecting the deportation of negroes from the Mozambique Coast, including the de spatches from the British Minister ?.t Lisbon to the Por tuguese Government, dated respec,tively the 22d day of July and the 17th day of Nov. 18a7. Of all the corre spondence which has taken place up to the present time respecting the Charles et Georges between her Majesty's Government and Mr. M‘Leod, now or late ofher Majesty's counsel at Mozambique : Of the message of the 16th day of October, which is described in Mr. Howard's Desp a t c h of the 21st day of Oct ober, 1858, in the following words :- -" A further message, of the 16th instant, from the Earl of Malmesbury r especting his former advice to drop the prosecution ;" of any instructions respecting the Charles et Georges which may have been addressed by the Earl of Malmesbury to Lord Cowley in the interval between the 18th day of March, 1858, and the 3d day of October. He considered that, notwithstanding anything that had been said to the contrary, it was highly important that this subject should be taken into consid era tion, and from such . co nsideration was not their duty to shrink at the present time. In the reign of Queen Anne the port of Bombay been ceded to this country, and in that session the Govern ment entered into a treaty by which they bound this coun try to defend the Portuguese against foreign hostilities. That treaty was found to be too vague, and another of a more definite character was entered into. Subsequently, in 1810 and 1815, when the country was flushed with its success in arms to which the Portuguese soldiers had con tributed. An engagement was entered into, by which the antecedent treaties were confirmed, and this country bound itself to carry them out in their integrity. Of ccurse it was understood that these treaties were to be binding only when the Portuguese were threa tened with danger, or engaged in hostilities which had not been provoked by any improper acts on their part. In 1810 the Portuguese prohibited the slave trade being carried on north of the line, but in 1836 they deemed it expedient to ex tend that prohibition to their territories south of the line as far as Mozambique. The hon. member here entered into a nar rative of the circumstances connected with the capture of the Charles et Georges. Before that seizure the proceedings adopted by the crew of the vessel in approaching so near, or within the prohibited limits, was denounced by the British consul, and at his instigation a cruiser was sent out by the Portuguese Go vernment. The Charles et Georges was captured, and the captain being convicted according to the laws of Portugal, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. On the 6th of May, 1858, the Foreign Secretary was informed that the claims of France, in reference to the matter against Portugal, was assuming a very serious form ; and what he complained of was, that notwithstanding that informa -1 tion, Lord Malmesbury took no notice of the matter until October The hon. member then entered in detail into the subsequent proceedings that had taken place in refer ence to the capture of the vessel, and repeated his ocndemnation of the conduct pursued by the Government, which he considered as most unjust towards Portugal, considering the treaties that were existing with that coun try. The hon. member also read extracts from the diplo matic correspondence which took place on the subject. [LEFT SPEAKING.] LONDON GAZEW.E---( THIS EVENING) WHITEHALL, MARCH 7.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. The polling commenced this morning at eight o'clock : " At half•past ono Mr. Humphery Brown re signed, but the polling was continued. "Large majority for Lygon." THE SUN, LONDON, T ITESDAY ,:':jEV EN !NG, MARCH 8, 1859, THE ARMY. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. The 2d battalion of the 22d Regiment, which has been wholly raised at Preston , Lancashire, left the Fulwood barracks for the camp at Aldershot last Friday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon the new breech-loading can non, which has been invented by Mr. Warry, of the Royal Engineer barracks, Brompton, was again experimented with at Chatham, for the purpose of putting the gun to tests of a different character to those tried on the occasion of the former experi ments. Since the description of this cannon ap peared, the inventor has effected another great improvement in the method of firing it, by which nearly 20 rounds per minute—or nearly double those fired at former experiments —can now be dis charged from the gun. This improvement consists of a lever, of an exceedingly simple contrivance, placed on the left side of the breech, which by a single movement cuts the cartridge, primes the nipple, closes the breech, and fires the gun, the whole of the operations enumerated being effected instantaneously. The first of the experiments tried yesterday with the gun was that of firing a shell at a portion of canvass suspended at the end of the range. For this purpose one of Captain Norton's leaden shells was inserted in the gun and fired at the canvas, against which it exploded on striking, the object being to show that metal shells, charged with Capt. Norton's " liquid fire," may be made to fracture on striking canvas. Another shell of lead was then fired from the same gun into a mass of soft clay, the shell exploding on striking and enter ing. In this shell of Capt. Norton's the percussion appliance is placed below the mouth of the missile, so that the ramrod cannot press on it in the act of ramming it home. The result of this experiment proved that such shells are sure to explode on strik ing and entering claymounds or earthworks, where the Boxer fuze and the Moorsom percussion shell fail to be effective. Mr. Warry's breech-loading invention can be applied to any metal guns, of whatever size, which can be rifled and rendered fit for service at an estimated cost of one-fourth the expense of turning out one of Sir W. Armstrong's rifled cannon. COUNTRY MARKETS. Sharel Railwa Closing Business ys. I Paid. p r i ce . Done. Share) Railways. Paid.

A person named Neville Allen was charged with obtaining money from various persons under the pretence that he was concerned in a litigation, Allen v. Allen, referring to vast estates in the West Indies and £2,000,000 or £3,000,000 in the funds. His plan was to dire3t the attention of his vic tims to a report of a case, Allen v. Allen, at Vice-Chan cellor Wood's Chambers, and to state that his solicitor was pressing him for money to carry on the proceedings. In this manner the fellow succeeded in swindling three per sons, one of them in humble life, of £9, £8.5, and £6O re spectively. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the whole of the charges. The Deputy Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment. . . ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday an attempt at suicide was committed by Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw, aged 35, who resided in Pitts-street, Camberwell. The unfortunate woman has lately been in a very low desponding state of mind, owing to her husband charging her with infidelity; and on Saturday night, owing to a quarrel with her hus band, she left her home, and was found in the Borough by the police in a state of insensibility. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where it was found she had taken nearly two ounces of laudanum. The stomach pump was applied and other antidotes were administered, but she remains in 13 precarious state. [ADVERTISEMENT.] SIGHT AND HEARING. SPEC.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—ln this case I have considered the facts with great pains, and given them all the careful attention that I could, and I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Job was not in his office on the 13th of September last, and was not served with a notice of the order I made upon him. I pur posely abstain from stating the grounds on which I have come to that conclusion. The consequence will be that the execution will be set aside. He shall have the costs of this application; and I shall make an order that he shall pay the money in my former order into court, within ten days from this time. Mr. R. Palmer—And on his undertaking that he shall not bring any action of damages on account of the distraint? His Honour—Yes. Mr. R. Palmer—His obtaining costs will not affect the order that he shall pay the money into court within ten days ? His Honour—No. Likewise, the official manager shall have his costs out of the estate. Ordered accordingly. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.) JUDGMENT.-LOMBURDE V. PEACH. This was a family suit between sister and brother. The plaintiff, Mrs. Lomburde, by her bill in the events which happened, claimed the devised estates in her father's will. The testator, by his will, devised the remainder of his estates to trustees, and declared that, in the event of Edmond Henry Tirtan Peach succeeding to his family estates and his devised estates, he shall not hold both together ; that the devised estates shall in that event go over to the next heir of tail in remainder. By the codicil to his will he directed the rest of the income of his estate to be applied to the education and maintenance of the heirs of tail and in remainder. The testator died Nov. 13, 1831. His Honour came to the conclusion that, in consequence of the shifting clause in the will, the defendant was not entitled to hold both estates—the family and devised estates —but only the family estates of the testator. But in respect of the devise to the trustees to hold the devised estates for the heirs in remainder, the defendant was entitled, as heir at-law, to succeed as heir in remainder to that estate, to the exclusion of his sister, Mrs. Lamburde. His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill, without costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN DE HILLS AND HILLS-THE DARTFORD AND GRAVES END BANK. These bankrupts, Jonathan Hills and Robert Hills, car ried on business as bankers at Gravesend and Dartford, and to-day was appointed for consideration of their certificates. Mr. Lawrance appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Bayley and Mr. Read for creditors to. oppose. Mr. Lawrence said the case had been adjourned until the consideration of a proof tendered on behalf of the estate of H. Gibson had beendecided. Since then, however, Jonathan Hills had died, and Robt. Hills had left the country, ostensibly to get a large sum of money for the benefit of the creditors ; at all events he was not present, and he (Mr. Lawrence) believed that they, the assignees, and the opposing credi tors had a right to insist upon an absolute and uncondi tional refusal of the certificate, but, although there were very grave charges against the bankrupt, and it was not very probable he would return to England yet, to give him an opportunity of doing something for his creditors, it would perhaps be better to adjourn the certificate sine die, and he could then apply hereafter. His Honour said he was very decidedly in favour of that course, and doubted whether he could refuse it when the bankrupt did not appear. Mr. Lawrance said that it had been done in other cases, but an adjournment sine die would answer every prudes: purpose. Mr. Bayley and Mr. Read assented to the suggestion, and applied for costs of opposition, which were allowed. His Honour then adjourned the case sine die. No ap pointment for another meeting to be made except on special order of the Court, and special notice to the opposing cre ditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY, BOW-STREET. A dissipated-looking man, named John Muiphy, was placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting Mr. John Phillips. The complainant, landlord of the Crown Coffee-house, high-street, Bloomsbury, said that about half-past three on that morning, a gentleman came to his house in a cab, accompanied by the prisoner. The gentleman knew Phillips, and wishing to stand a bottle of wino, threw down half-a-sovereign for the purpose. The prisoner tried three times to possess himself of the coin, but on each occasion was foiled, which evidently very much displeased him. The gentleman who wanted the wine was told he could not have it there, tea and coffee being the only articles sold. Immediately the prisoner found it was not intended to send for the drink he behaved in a very outrageous manner, challenged the complainant to fight, called him vile names, and ultimately-struck him a violent blow, which broke his nose. The police were instantly sent for, and after some trouble the prisoner was locked up. John Webster, a cheesemonger' ET assistant, lodging at Mr. Phillips', said ho was present when the disturbance took place, and saw Phillips give the gentleman the half sove reign back. The prisoner came in with the gentleman, and seemed to know him. He saw Murphy strike Phillips. Police-constable E 115, said he went to Phillips's shop. The complainant's face was bleeding, and the prisoner was sitting on one of the tables. He resisted very much, but eventually he was conveyed to the station-house, and placed in a cell, where he created so much disturbance that he was threatened with having his boots taken off. He said he knew that was more than any peeler dare do, for if any one ' came into the cell he would give him a dose that would do for him. He had known the prisoner for eight or nine years, but during the whole of that period he had not known him do a day's work. He was the constant asso cMte of thieves and ticket-of-leave men. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, the prisoner said more than half of what had been said against him were lies ; that he was drunk, and that he had no intention of stealing the half-sovereign from his friend. Mr. Jardine had some doubts about the truth of the pri soner's statement, but it was clear that he had violently assaulted Phillips, and he should therefore send him to prison for three weeks.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—William Duffell, a bootcloser, residing in Camomile-street, City, was charged with the following unprovoked assault on a female : Ellen Ford, of 3, Chart's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane, whose eye bore evident proof of the brutal manner in which sho had been assaulted, said that about 12 o'clock the pre vious night she was standing at the corner of Cranbourne street waiting for a friend, when the prisoner came up in a ruffianly way and made use of very vile language. Not wishing to have anything to say to him she told him to go away, when he made use of a disgusting expression and immediately struck her a violent blow in the face, causing her oye to be blackened as it then appeared. The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, asked the com plainant how she got her living The complainant said she lived with her mother, a laun dress. The prisoner had asked her to forgive him, but how could she with such an eye. Robert Harris, of Castle-street, said he had left the complainant but a few moments, and on coming up he heard the prisoner abuse the complainant in a disgraceful manner, and on her expostulating with him he struck her in the eye. After a struggle and a chase ho was secured and given into custody. The prisoner, in reply, asked the last witness whether that was all that took place, but gained very little by his question, as the witness said he also struck him on the mouth. Mr. Beadon said if the last witness had given the prisoner a good thrashing he should have said he well deserved it for giving the female such an eye as she then had. It was a brutal assault. Fined a or two months. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.--.-John Claney, a melancholy-looking young man, who said he was in the employ of the Trinity House Corporation on the river, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with com mitting a cowardly and violent assault on Henry Marsh, a police-constable, No. 269 K. The policeman, who had sustained considerable injury, said he was on duty in Collingwood-street, Rateliff, last night, and saw the prisoner and two other men approach ing. He suspected no harm, and was about passing the three men, when the prisoner suddenly and without provocation struck him a heavy blow with his clenched fist, and knocked him down. He seized tho prisoner, and had a severe scuffle with him upon the ground. on which the other men attempted to rescue the prisoner, and tore the hair from his head. Several handsful of hair were dragged from his head. He called out " murder," and another policeman came to his assistance. The pri. soner then ran away in the direction of the Commercial road, and his companions towards Brook-street.. Another constable stopped the prisoner and took him into custody. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the complainant said the prisoner never spoke a word when he knocked him down. The prisoner said the charge against him was all false. He called no witness, and the charge being fully sustained, Mr Yardley said the assault was cowardly and un provoked. He sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days' imprisonment..

It is also contemplated to give the city of Aberdeen and county of Lanark each one additional mem ber,--,Dundee Advertiser. THE NAVE A letter from Malta announces the arrival from Zante on the 20th of February of the Ariel steam corvette, and the departure for England on the 27th of the Perseverance troopship, conveying Captain Mackillop and such of the crew of the Recruit, paid off at Malta on the 25th, as did not volunteer to enter on board of other vessels in port ; also the arrival on the 2d of March, from Sudak, of the Princess Royal. The Urgent steam transport left for England on the Ist of March, conveying Mr. Taylor, late of the Vulture. The Caradoc, steam despatch vessel, left Malta for Alexandria .on the. 26th, to receive on board Lord Elgin, shortly ex pected to reach Suez on his return to England from his special mission to China and Japan. The Vul ture steam frigate arrived at Malta from Gibraltar on the 21st, escorted by the Perseverance, in conse quence of her leaky condition, from havin g got aground on the western coast of Barbary, near Cape Blanes, for which accident Captain Frederick A. Campbell, and Mr. Francis Taylor, the master, were put on their trial before a naval court-martial, of which Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8., the second in command in the Mediterranean, sat as president, and Mr. Thos. Alexander Telfer, R.N. his secre tary, officiated as judge-advocate. The trial com menced at 8 a.m. on the 24th, and was not con• eluded until the afternoon of the 26th, when Capt. Campbell was fully acquitted of any blame, but against the master neglect was declared proved, and he was accordingly condemned to be severely reprimanded and dismissed the ship. The defence of the master seems to have had in view the throw ing the responsibility on the first lieutenant, Mr. Rae, who, like the master, was absent from the deck, the senior officer of the watch at the time being a midshipman. The Vulture has had to be docked. Her. Majesty's Ships in Valetta Harbour on the 3d March were the Marlborough, screw line of-battle ship (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral A.

According to pre sent arrangements she will be brought down the harbour, and placed in dock on the 10th inst. The Nelson was built at Woolwich, and brought into Portsmouth harbour on the 31st of August, 1814, and her longest voyage during that time has been from her moorings up the harbour to the dockyard, and back to her moorings again, never having been outside the mouth of the harbour during the last 45 years. She is a fine old ship of her class. The Alfred, 50, sailing frigate, has been pumped out and raised from the ground of the ship basin at Portsmouth, and placed alongside the north jetty, preparatory to being berthed at moorings up the harbour.

THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LEAMING- Torr.—The adjourned inquiry respecting the late fatal acci dent at Leamington took place at the Town-hall on FridaY• Engineers and some of the passengers were examined , but no additional fact of importance was elicited. The follovr ing verdict was - returned :—" The jury is of opinion that the deceased met with his death from an accident on th e railway, caused by the breakage of the adjusting screw ef the leading or near spring of the engine attached to the 10'e train from Rugby, but that there is no evidence to obey / how the breakage occurred.
