apt. MONEY MARKET. ITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the last few days have been limited, and little change of importance has taken place in the value of most principal staples. Tea, however, has been in steady request, while sugars have shown a downward tendency as regards in ferior descriptions. Coffee has been in moderate favour, good and fine qualities of plantation Ceylon fully maintaining previous rates. Rice, spices, and fruit have been without alteration, but an increased demand has been experienced for saltpetre, and quotations tend upwards. Tallow continues dull for both present and forward delivery, P.Y.C. on the spot beitg quoted 465. 3d. ; and last three months' delivery, 48s. 3d. per cwt. There is a decrease of £3,778 in the traffic receipts of the Brighton railway, and of £3,898 on the South Eastern for the past week. Money continues plentiful; and the rates are con sequently very easy, 21 per cent. being asked for first-class bills, and in some instances business is ne gotiated even per cent. lower. A fair amount of business was again transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended upwards. The sales were 7,000 bales. A further supply of £65,000 was taken into the Bank or England yesterday. The Tagus has conveyed £20,000 in specie for Lisbon. Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial Commission that,the auction of the Foreign Redeem able debt will take place at Madrid on the 29th inst., for which purpose 5,921,072 reals have been assigned by the Government. No fluctuation of importance has taken place to day in the market for the English Funds, which are now comparatively neglected for other descrip• tions of securities. Upou the whole, however, the quotations are well maintained, the speculators bein g evidently disinclined to enter into extensive engagements for a fall, while affairs at home re main in their present unfavourable position. Consols are 93 I I for transfer and the 10th instant, and 93i 94 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 929 1. Exchequer Bills are firm at 18s. to 21s. pre- Miln. Bank Stock is 23 6 and India 5 per cents. 1081 There has been little animation in the Foreign Market, and prices have not varied to any impor tant extent. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 831 a ; ditto 1858, 691 ; Mexican are steady at 3314 ; Italian 5 per Cents. are 661 ; Russian have improved to 991 100 i, and Portuguese to 461 ; but Sardinian are ilat at 81-t, and Spanish at 52-/, but the Certificates Temain at 7. The New Turkish Loan Scrip is 1 24- prem. The letters of allotment have been issued to-day. gyptiau Loan Scrip has receded to H 1 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued very inactive, and little change of impor tance can be recorded in values, the general tendency, however, is towards increased heaviness. Caledo nians, have receded 10s.; and North British and North Eastern (Berwick) ss. ; Midland, and Lan ekshire and Yorkshire, however, have improved and South Eastern Li. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the operations have also becn limited—South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, however, have improved to 208 t, and Sambre and Meuse to 10,1, ; East Indian have declined to 104; Indian Peninsula to 1011, and Great Western of Canada are steady at 13. Joiyit Stock Bank Shares are a shade flatter — London and County have declined to 388 ; London Chartered of Australia to 25, and Union of London to 311. The New Joint Stock Banks are flatter. The Alliance are 4-1- prem. ; the Imperial, 1- 1 prem. ; the Northern Counties, 2 21 prem. ; and the British Columbia, 21 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market General Steam Navigation realised 26 ; Oriental Inland Steam, 6l; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam improved to 69. BRITISH FUNDS--ONE O'CLOCK.

TATTEISALL§ 2 -YESTERDAY, The overcrowded stite of the room added greatly to the difficulties attending 8 , heavy a settling as that consequent , upon the recent Nortlampton meeting. At times it was with extreme difficultythat those principally interested as commission agents for tte provincial bookmakers and others could elbow their way tirough the excited throng so as to enable theta to meet these with whom they had outstand ing balances ; and it Wa not until an unusually late hour that the "Babel of tongteri," and the exchange of money had subsided sufficientll to enable those least interested in the proceedings to comaenco speculation upon the forth coming events at Epsoreon Thursday and Friday. en T te he red C in u to Y , A b N ut " it Sij w l3 a r s in virh ' e t x ak tt i v n m g e pri c o a r u i t t i y on wa th s e th o e pe fi r r a s - t tions were carried out. 3oth Phantom and Vancouver ap peared to have a host of , dherents, the former particularly, who gave evidence, from he eagerness to clutch at his open ing price, that they had something substantial to depend upon ; and at the close it tppearod a real good thing at 11 to 2, at which price Vancouvt was supported. 11 to 1 was ac cepted about Suburban tosome money. At the same Ducat appeared to be mot with of every side by opponents. All sorts of prices were offered and every doubt expressed about his meeting the starter, but after patient inquiries we be lieve wo shall be found cotect in returning his closing price at 100 to 8. The unexpected advent of Olive Branch in the city in the morning at all sorts of outside prices, instead of throwing oil upon the troubled waters, created additional interest in the proceedings here in the afternoon, her closing price eastward being eagerly secured, and at last as little as 15 to 1 to good money wasaccepted. Mr. Merry's represen tative did not appear so bioyant, and, notwithstanding his owner was present, 15 to 1--fiv e points more than his last quotation—was freely offered; without meeting with a cus tomer. 1,000 to 60 in one bet was taken about Limosina, but similar odds could hays been obtained to the last. Saw cutter was nibbled at, at hs quoted odds, and Sappho from the outside division met vith a few supporters at 1,000 to 20.. The only mention we heard of the Great Metropolitan Stakes was with reference to Ducat and Brighton, the for mer at 8 to 1, and the latter at 20 to 1 to a pony each. THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.—OId Calabar, the de spised one day, the favourite the next, it appears was not in favour at the club in the morning. Many in consequence took the opportunity of gettng out at 9 to 2, but during the Marquis at whi w ch as nominally at 6 to 1 ; a afternoon here the highest offer we rni co c u e ld he co w ll a e s ct su h p a p s o b r e t e e n d would have f oun d backers. to 1 pw hii t d nht w sm a o s mo rehea,lwfea spirit.ipm o a i T u gh t i ne l e es , was taken about Baron Rothschild' s colt, and similar odds offered against Caterer ; Nottingham was backed at 12 to 1, and Marble Hill at 30 to 1. THE CHESTER CUP is a perfect dead letter. The only animals that came under our notice was F a irwat er , a b ou t whom 100 to 6 was taken a few times, 100 I o 8 Hadji Stavros, and 50 to 1 about Bevis, THE DERBY.—Buckstone met with increased support this afternoon, 6 to 1 being taken quietly in well-informed quarters to some £2OO or £3OO ; the only other quotations upon this important event were 40 to 1 agst Gemse, and similar odds against Lord Glasgow's lot, The following will represent the business done : CITY AND SUBURBAN. 11 to 2 agst Phantom (taken) • 11 to 2 agst Vancouver (taken) 11 to 1 agst Suburban (taken and offered) 100 to 8 agst Ducat (offered) 15 to 1 agst Vest colt (taken) 15 to 1 agst Olive Branch (taken) 100 to 6 agst Limosina :taken) 20 to 1 agst Saweutter (taken) 50 to 1 agst Sappho METROPOLITAN. 6to 1 agst Panique (taken) 7to 1 agst Ducat (taken) 20 to 1 agst Brighton ;taken) CHESTER CUP. 100 to 6 agst Fairwater (taken) 50 to 1 agst Bevis (taken) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 4to 1 apt Old Calabar (taken) 5 to 1 agst Marquis (offered) 10 to 1 agst Caterer (take 11 to 1) 11 to 1 agst Wingrave (taken) 12 to 1 agst Nottingham (taken) 30 to 1 agst Marble Hill (taken) THE DERBY. 6to 1 agst Buckstone (taken and offered) 40 to 1 agst Gemse (taken) 40 to 1 agst Lord Glasgow's lot (taken) BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY. For the City and Suburban Handicap, early in the day, Vest colt and Ducat were decidedly out of favour; 20 to 1 was offered against the former, and 100 to 6 was laid against the latter. Later on, offers were not so free; 100 to 8 was taken about Ducat, but we saw nothing booked about the Vest colt. Vancouver and Phantom were very firm, but Palestro was sent to the right about. The prices quoted against the others were obtained with difficulty, and most of them will see a shorter price, Closing prices : CITY AND SUBURBAN HANDICAP. 6to 1 agst Vancouver (taken and cffered) Bto 1 agst Phantom (taken) 10 to 1 agst Suburban (taken) 12 to 1 agst Ducat (taken) 20 to 1 agst Olive Branch (taken) 20 to 1 agst Vest colt (offered) 25 to 1 agst Sawcutter (taken) 25 to 1 agst Limosina (taken) 25 to ,1 agst Babette filly (taken) 40 to 1 agst- Compiegne (taken) 40 to 1 agst Palestro (offered) GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES. 100 to 8 agst Finlande (taken) 20 to 1 agst Babette filly (taken) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 9to 2 agst Old Calabar (offered) 11 to 1 agst Caterer (taken) 100 to 8 agst Nottingham (offered) CHESTER CUP. 100 to 8 agst Hadji Stavros (offered) 16 to 1 agst Agag (offered) 33 to 1 apt Victrix (taken) WRIGHT'S RACING RECORD.—The Spring edition of this work is now published.

A large number of people assembled at Putney last even ing to witness the customary breathings of the crews over the course. Both had previously been out for a paddle in the morning, and after coming in the Cantabs thought it advisable, in order to be nearer their work, to have their outriggers lowered a trifle, and good judges think this was a change for the better. The Oxonians went out first in the evening from their temporary boat-house- 7 the London Rowing Club having kindly placed theirs at their disposal ; and after paddling down to the bridge, started up and rowed over the whole course. They have undoubtedly con siderably improved, and nothing now can be said against their time; but the Cambridge men are still very lively, and their pace for the first mile is quicker than that of their opponents. The Oxonians were timed at starting to take 37 strokes to the minute, which they afterwards increased to 40; while the Contabs took 37, increasing it to 39. Th e Cambridge men took a longer sweep than their rivals round the Point; but their time 01 they were lost to the view from Putney was about the same in both boats, and they were within a few seconds of the same time at Mortlake. On the return the Cantabs practised several starts with an eight of the London Rowing Club, and it is said that they started indifferently, but ley down to their work in beauti ful time immediately afterwards. Both crews stand their work well, and every one seems to be agreed that they are very evenly matched, although the Cantabs have slightly the call in betting circles. body of James Hullyear, aged THE LAST FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EXHIBITION. —On Saturday Mr. Bedford, coroner, held as inquest at at the I nternational Exhibition Idl lio le s d pi a tal t the the etebralational Exhibition on the 2 5 2 t ,. w G h eo o r w ge aa 's afternoon of Tuesday last.

" chairs," but the men i MILITARY DRILL IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Lord CAMPBELL said no topic, however inconsider able it may seem at first sight, if it bears at all on the in terests of the Volunteer movement, ought in the House of Lords to meet with inattention. It is in that house, if no where else, that the movement may rely on cordiality and sympathy, inasmuch:as most of those who habitually attend it either as officers or as lord-lieutenants, or as members of the late Government, or as members of the present Go vernment, have had an active share in its formation and encouragement. And if, as we hear whispered, .the move , meat is now exposed to some rising hazards and some temporary clouds which did not formerly present themselves, the notice of to-day has greater prac tical importance than would otherwise belong t o i t. It is not, however, requisite to discuss at length the argu. ments in favour of military drill in public schools at present. So long ago as December, 1859, a few months after the volunteer movement had commenced, deeming the time favourable, I ventured to address the editor of a great and well-known journal on the subject. Soon after, in February, 1860, at a meeting at the Thatched House Tavern, the same cause had far more powerful supporters in Lord Elcho, in the late Provost of Eton, in Lord Enfield, in Lord West, in Sir De Lacy Evans, and many other gentlemen who assembled at that place and at that tme with the view to promote the change I have refcrred to, A few days afterwards a yet more influential advocate ap peared in the editor of the Times himself, who by a leading article lent his power and authority to bring about the ob ject of the meeting. My view rather is to counteract, so far as I am able, two impressions, either of which would be mistaken; first, the impression that nothing has been done since the agitation and discussion in February, 186 1 , on the question ; and secondly, the impression that what has been done requires no further efforts to secure and to establish it. So far from nothing having been done, before the meeting happened, and quite at the beginning of the year, some military instruction was introduced at Eton. Soon after Easter, Rugby, Harrow, Winchester, and Westminster, adopted the example. At a later period something of the same kind began at Charterhouse. At Wimbledon the public schools have competed for shooting-prizes. Not very long ago the Eton companies were reviewed by the Queen her self ; and the occasion was the last at which the lamented Prince was seen by the public. The discussions, therefore, in 1859 and in 1860 were far from being attended with no consequences. On the other hand, and this is most important to consider all that has been done iS voluntary and precarious. At any moment it may perish altogether. It depends on novelty, which must pass away, on youthful zeal, which cannot always be relied upon on fashion, which is apt to change in public schools as it does elsewhere. Above all, it depends very much on the exist ence and the force of the volunteer movement in the country of which, in point of fact, it is a reflex. Already some decline has been exhibited. At Westminster, in spite of the zeal of the head master and the judi cious aid which he received from Captain Arbuckle the gallant and accomplished adjutant of the London Scot tish Rifles, it has altogether passed away. At Eton four hundred was the number who enrolled in 1860 ; two hun dred is about the number of the corps at present. At Har row at one time it ranged above two hundred, and has fallen to one hundred. At Winchester my information is less accurate, but it is not thought there to be established very firmly. At Charter-house the decline has only been from eighty to fifty. At Rugby there has been no sensible decline ; but there, too, the basis is entirely precarious. Something exists, therefore, to which permanence is wanting, and the question occurs at once as to how far the commis sion on public schools is able to impart it by the sound and practical suggestions which daily offer on the subject. As it has not been included in the queries they have sent out although the instructions they have had would seem to be so wide as to admit it, the question is in some degree a doubtful one. A declaration from the Government would very easily resolve it. No doubt, however, the Commission of which Lord Clarendon is the head, are bound to approach the subject as unprejudiced inquirers, and not to assume the merits of the change on which public schools have thus provisionally entered. Its merit rests, however on a few con siderations which are very easy to refer to. Military drill at public schools, so carried on as to embrace the greater portion of the higher classes, must tend to make the volun teer officers effective. It is not in later life that they can gain with fulness and effect the aptitudes and information which their duties call for. It is not the want of energy or spirit, but of time, which is the obstacle. Professional pur suits are always in the way of military exercises. And a great advantage will occur if public schools sent out year by year a supply of young men already fit to take commis- Mon& But even-if the force were ever so effective, what would tend more strongly to perpetuate it than the existence of a higher class imbued with military knowledge, and un willing to see the field of its activity withdrawn. But sup posing it should pass away withe fears and dangers which excited it, what can be more im tant to the country than to have its educated classes trained to arms, so that the militia would always be supplied with valuable officers, and so that any sudden levy of the people on a particular emergency should have the necessary leaders to direct and to inspirit it. As regards the moral, the intellectual, and physical effects of military , drill on those who come under its influence, much has been and much may be said ; but it is all subsidiary to the Egreat arguments which show, however rapidly we look at them, that such a system at public schools is a means of national defence and national security. It is far more easy to secure for it that permanence now wanting than at first sight it might appear to us. If it is secured at Eton it is secured at all the other public schools according to the detail which may be most suitable to each. The commission need, therefore, only bring to bear their in fluence and operation upon Eton, where it is well known that the authorities would not be wanting in their part. Tho noble lord, and the authorities of Eton, will not be found unequal to the task which, if the instructions of the commissioners are wide enough, would naturally seem to fall upon them. The noble lord concluded with the ques tion of which he had give notice. The Earl of CLARENDON, as president of the public schools commission, said the instructions that had been issued had been so formed to embrace the subject of mili tary drill. They not only proposed to inquire into the time devoted to study, but also into the manner in Ntl;ch the boys employed their leisure time. He agreed that it was of the highest imr ortAnce that the Volunteer movement should become permanent, and also that it was impossible to speak too highly of that splendid demonstra tion. The subject, he assured the noble lord, would be most carefully considered. COMMITTEES. The Declaration of Title Bill, the Security of Purchasers Bill, the Transfer of Land Bill, the Real Property (Title of Purchasers) Bill, the Industrial Schools Acts 1861 Amend ment Bill, and the Whipping Bill, passed through com mittee.

MONTAGUE "gave notice that to-morrow he would ask when Captain Coles' vessel, the Cupola, had been submitted to the Admiralty, and by whom ? MEMORIAL TO THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT. Mr. POTTS asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of the Government to propose a vote for a national memorial to the memory of his Royal Highness the late Prince Consort ? Lord PALMERSTON said that he hoped the hon. mem ber would not consider him discourteous if he declined to give him a full answer, because it was not usual for Govern ment to give any information on a subject on which they were not prepared to make a specific proposal. When. the Government had made up their minds on the subject they would submit the proposal to the house. REMOVAL OF IRISH POOR FROM SCOTLAND TO IRELAND. General UPTON asked the Lord Advocate if he would fix a time for laying on the table of the house the bill he was about to introduce relating to the removal of Irish poor from Scotland to Ireland ? The LORD ADVOCATE said that he Would be able to lay the bill in question on the table very shortly before Easter. THE REVISED CODE. Sir W. HEATHCOTE asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Cluncil for Education whether he would be able to lay on the table of the house before the adjournment means, Mr. DISRAELI said he wished to make a few observa tions before the house went into committee on the financial position of the country, which he considered was one that was calculated to excite anxiety in the public mind. They had heard from the Chancellor of the Exche quer the startling statement that they commenced the financial year without any surplus whatever. There might be circumstances when such a state of things might be a source of gratification, as for instance when there was a remission of taxation, or when thole was great prosperity at home and great tranquil' ty abroad. But such was not the case at present, for they had distress in the manufacturing districts, and they had disturbances in America, and they had to look forward to an additional increase of distress in the manufacturing districts. He contended that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been entirely deceived in the estimate he had formed of the result of the abolition of the duty on paper, and fac;s proved that he had entirely failed in his calculation. He denied that there was any real reduction in the national debt, vs stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but there was a real deficiency, and he entered into statistics to prove his position. He alluded next to the in demnity fund received from China, and said that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had been deceived in this respect also, and instead of receiving COO,OOO from that source the Government had not received £400,000. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in his financial state ment, in order to make out his case, described the last two years as exceptional years, in con• sequence of the China war; but since he (Mr. Disraeli) had the honour of a seat in that house, they were al ways engaged in hostilities of one description or the other, and he contended that the Chancellor of the EYche quer should, from the experience of the past, have included the• contingency of the same in his calculations. The right honourable gentleman went in detail through the different items of the Budget, end argued that these did not justify the glowing colours of the favourable financial position of the country drawn by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. He denounced in strong terms the remarks of the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the income tax, and contended that that tax should not be considered as a per manent tax in a time of pea _e. Ho denied‘that the Chan calor of the Exchequer was entitled to be called an economist. The income tax had been treated as a permanent impost which in its'present form it could not remain. The minister had no right to fritter away the revenue of the country and leave that tax untouched. One of the most profuse finance ministers was constantly insinuating that he objected to the expenditure for which he was providirg, and was burning to denounce it—a position at least not consistent with that political morality of which he was once the foremost adl vocate. Mr. BASS then rose to object to the proposal for the commutation of the hop duty, and the imposition of brewers' licenses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, referring to the latter topic fiat, said that a modification of the plan as to the license would be necessary. The minimum rate payable by private brewers would be 55., and the charge would rise to 405., according to rent of houses, and in the case of farms to 20s. Turning to what he termed the finan cial history, delivered with the judicial impartiality of the historian by Mr. Disraeli, he said that the fallacy of his speech was that which ran through his policy and that of his party, a want of dependence on the principles of free trade, which had given such elasticity to the resources of the country. With considerable minuteness the right hon. gentleman proceeded to dissect and answer the arguments and criticisms of Mr. Disraeli, denying his premises and showing that his inferences were incorrect, especially as re garded the assertion that the last two years were not ex - ceptional years; and there was not a topic on which his critic had dwelt, in order to prove the financial gravity of the situation, that he himself had not, to the best of his ability, laid before the house on Thursday last. He had never changed his language as to the :income tax, or treated it as one' which ought to be a permanent tax. Touching onMr. Disraeli's financial calculations, he showed that estimates of his had failed largely in the result—his two sole attempts at clever imposition of taxes, in the case of stamps on cheques and a tax on Irish spirits, producing only a third of the calculated yield in each case. As to the repeal of the paper duty, which caused a loss of £600,000, now complained of, the opponents of that measure pro posed to part with £950,000 of tea duty, which would have been so much addition to the alleged deficiency. As to the vituperation and censure of Mr. Disraeli it was not difficult for him to bear them, for he was sustained by the recollec tion that far better men than he had been visited with the like. But he should be still more content if the effect of the right hon. gentleman's speech was to bring the house and the country to a due sense of the gravity of the finan cial situation and the necessity for reduction of expenditure. As to the income tax, he was still of opinion that an in crease of the rate of that tax was a financial danger, and the rate at which it lately stood was caused by the necessity of meeting large military expenditure in 1859. He did not desire that that tax should be permanent, and if the coun try could be governed for something about £60,000,000 it could be done without ; but it could not be done with an expenditure of £70,000,000. Looking to the re -construc tion of the navy, and other exceptional causes, he did net yet despair of reduction and retrenchment in the expendi ture of the country, although he did not speak of large and sudden reductions. A discussion of much length ensued, in which the Bud get and the whole of our revenue policy were reviewed, Mr. Bentinck, Sir H. Willoughby, Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Vance, Mr. Lindsay, Lord R. Cecil, and Mr. Ball taking part in the discussion. Sir S. NORTHCOTE, in the course of an elaborate criti cism of the Budget, urged upon the house that during the last eight years, since 1954, there had been large deficien cies of revenue; in six of these years the deficiency had been £6,144,000, and in two years there was a surplus of £2,400,000, leaving a net deficiency of £3,744,000. The cinesticn was, he observed, whether this exceptional stat 9 of things was going to end, and whether we should not retain any resources we had in hand. Unless the house made prudent provision for the year, either by an increase of the revenue or a reduction of the expenditure, it would not, he thought, do its duty to the country. The house then went into a committee of ways and means, when certain resolutions were agreed to, authoriz ing the issue of £1,000,000 of Exchequer Bonds, the con tinuance of the income-tax and of the tea and sugar duties, the charging of an excise duty upon occasional licenses to sell beer, &c., a stamp duty and a customs' duty upon playing cards, and a stamp duty upon foreign loan bonds. THAMES EMBANKMENT. On the order for the second reading of the Thames Em. bankment Bill, Sir J. SHELLEY said, as this embankment was to cost £1,500,000, to be paid out of the coal-tax, he asked the house to look a little into the matter. He approved the project of an embankment, but he objected, for various rea sons, to the plan adopted, and ho called for explanations and a detailed statement, that it might be seen whether the scheme was founded in justice towards those who were to pay for it. He moved to defer the second reading till the estimate of the cost of the work was laid on the table. The amendment was seconded by Mr. W. WILLIAMS. Mr. COWPER stated the details of the estimate, the length of the streets and of the embankment, and other particulars, which, he observed, had been before a se lect committee. The object had been to combine economy with efficiency, and he described the steps he had taken . to obtain a plan that would secure that object. Th e house, i n . t assent to affirming the second reading of the bill, wo uld not com m i t itself to the details of the plan, but would merely to the general principle of applying the coal duties the cost of the embankment. Mr. AYRTON said,bextforre.

Certain bills were forwarded a stage, and leave was g iven to intioduce bills, and the house adjourned at twenty minutes to 0120 O'CIOCii. Thus this glorious event, which excites the zeal and the enthusiasm of the Archbishop of Toulouse, this event, for which he returns thanks to " the goodness of God," this event in honour of which he announces a jubilee, solemn processions, and plenery indulgence, was a St. Bartholomew of which the city of Toulouse was the theatre ten years before that which ensanguined the streets of Paris on the fatal day of the 24th August, 1572. It is thus that the Archbishop of Toulouse wishes " to reunite the chain of the past." The celebration of such a fete is a thought 'or thy of the age which beheld those abominable tra gedies, worily of the times which the Archbishop of Toulouse admires, and which he dares to propose as an example to modern generations. In truth, we know not which should most astonish and afflict us, the intolerance and the superannuated passions which have inspired this resolution, or the Impru dence and temerity which characterise it. Certainly after all that has taken place for soma time past, one can scarcely be surprised to see a member of the episcopate thus violently set at nought the prin ciples of tolerance and religious liberty which have become the law of modern society, but what is asto nishing is to see this member of the episcopacy wanting in the most simple and ordinary prudence.. How is it that the Archbishop of Toulouse, who lives in the midst of our southern population, who knows the ardour and intensity of their reli gious passions, has not seen the danger of this ap peal made to such ill-ornered recollections ? How is it that he has not feared to revive the discords and the hatreds scarcely yet extinct? How is it that he has not recoiled before the responsibility of the misfortunes which might result from such re newed struggles ? In speaking thus we believill we are expressing the sentiments which are manifested at Toulouse, where this untoward project has pro duced a sensation which is too well justified. We would still hope that the Archbishop will abandon his intention, and not put into action this project, which has the double objection of being a deplorable anachronism, and a danger to the public peace.

Mr. LO WE said that he had no doubt he should be able to lay on the table of the house the documents alluded to, and he hoped ;hey Would be shortly printed and in the hands of hon. members. TitANSIT OF SALT INTO POLAND AND RUSSIA, Mr. J. TOLLEMACIIE asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the attention of Government had been called to the importance of obtaining permission for the transit of salt through the territory of the Zollverein, with bonding facilities in the Zollverein ports, so as to enable this country to send that article into Poland and Russia, which countries were now, to a great extent, sup plied with Austrian salt. Mr. M. GIBSON said that the attention of the Board of Trade had been called to the transit of salt through the territory of the Zollverein, and it was thought desirable that steps should be adopted in reference to this subject, and they had entered into negotiations on the matter. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. • In reply to Mr. HADFIELD, Lord PALMEItSTON said that he could not at present state whether the house would adjourn for the Easter re cess on Friday, as it would be regulated by the state of public business. REGISTRY OF DEEDS OFFICE (DUBLIN). Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he intended to introduce any bill dining the present ses sion to regulate the Registry of Deeds-office Dublin ? Sir R. PEEL said it was the intention of the Govern ment to lay the bill in question on the table before the Easter recess. WAYS AND MEANS. On the motion for going into committee of ways and TRICENTENARY CELEBRATION OP MASSACRE. 1 The Debuts of yesterday has the following akticha upon a fact which was-alluded to in our Paris letter on Saturday : The Archbishop of Toulouse, in a pastoral letter addressed to the faithful of his diocese, announces a jubilee which is to commence in that city on the 16th of next May. We observe that this local fete is in tended to celebrate the secular anniversary " of o glorious deed which iias accomplished at Toulouso 300 years ago." In reading this pastoral letter wo i naturally ask, What is the glorious deed of which I the archbishop speaks with so much enthusiasm, and which, moreover, he so carefully avoids ex. plaining ? This reticence, evidently intentional, conceals an enigma, the solution of which is suffi ciently know❑ to the Toulonaise, and this solu tion is as follows • Three hundred years ago war waa declared at Toulouse between the catholics and the Huguenots. The two sides fought desperately with arms in their hands. On the 16th. of May, 1652, the catholics compelled the pro testants to accept a capitulation, by the terms of which the protestants were to leave the city is safety on the condition that they laid down their arms at the Hotel de Ville. The Protestants hav ing no distrust, began at once to lay down their arms; but by virtue of a maxim then generally ad mitted, that the faithful were not bound to keep sworn faith with heretics, the capitulation was shamefully violated, and the disarmed Huguenots were massacred to the last man. This event is re corded by all the historians of the time, De Thou, Mezerai, La Popeliniere, in the memoirs of Conde and of Montluc—above all, there is to be found a very detailed account of it in the general history of Languedoc of Don Vaisette, Vol. 5, p. 217 to 226 and p. 631. Some of these historians state that as many as 4,000 Huguenots perished in this horrible butchery. The municipal officers of the city and the parliament, who took so sad a part in the re ligious struggles of that epoch, wished to perpetuate the recollections of this glorious day by the institu tion of a secular fete which was celebrated on th e two past anniversaries of the 16th of May, 1662, and. the 16th of May, 1762. One might naturally sup.. pose that the revolutions which have taken place since this date, creating an abyss between the gene rations who were witnesses of these odious acts or associated with them, and modern generations would. have effaced for ever the recollection of them and. abolished the fete instituted to glorify them. It is, however, this very fete that the Archbishop of Toulouse has conceived the project of reviving, and of which he prescribes the celebration on the 16th of next May. • THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

Of the export of salmon preserved in tins or otherwise no return can be furnished. Peter Basquet, the Indian chief, accompanied by Captain Ackerley, attended yesterday at the Marylebone Police -court, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, to make an - application to his worship.
