Lord STaATIIEDEN laid on the table a blli exemptin g militia, yeomanry, and voluut.;ers from serving on grand juries. The bill was read a first time. Their lordships then proceedel to fur: her consider the bill for the improvement of the tenure of laud in Ireland. [LEFT SPEAKING. I HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—Turn EVENING. The SPEAlait took the chair at 4 o'cl,ek. THE MURDER AT DOVER. Mr. CARD WELL, in reply to a question from Mr. P. Taylor, said it was quite true that Corporal Barnes had been suspected of insanity, and had been 53 days in the hospital and then discharged, on.the surgeon pronouncing him not insane, and that he continued to perform his duties properly and well. lie was, howeever, of opinion that neglect did not attach to the surgeon, and the Di rector-General was about to communicate fficially with him. DOVER HOUSE. Mr CARD WELL, in reply to Mr. Shaw, said it was not true that Government had purchased the lease of Dover flousc. The best mode of conducting the business of the Horse Guards and War-office would be by having the two departments under one roof, and that matter was now under consideration. HUSH RAILWAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. 0. Gore, said that Government were aware of the strong wish of the Irish representatives and other persons of great influence that a measure with respect to the Government taking the Irish railways in hand, and that a bill to that effect might be formed on the second report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the subject, but Government thougut other methods might Le thought of, and therefore he could pro mise that the subject should receive that respectful conci deratiun to which it was entitled. It would b 5 wrong for hint, at the picsont moment, to giv, any ans,ver that might lead to any anticipation as ti what that measure wouLl be. THE TEMPLE COLLECTION. Mr. WAL PULE, in reply to Mr. Lo wther said it was quite true that other objects of a similar descript , on had been purchased by the trustees, and that the wielc of the articles had got mixrd up in the Temple collection —had in fact, as a collection, passed away. Ile had, how ever, to inform the hon. gentleman that such was not the case, and directions had been given to have the whole of the Temple collection properly and distinctly labelled. INDIAN FINANCE. Mr. GRANT-DUFF said the acc3unt of the Home changes were all fully published in the Government " Gazette" of India, and he thought quite in detail. The " Gazette" was circulated, and he had every reason to believe the Indian public had full means of becoming acquainted with them. He thought the dissatisfaction that existed on the subject arose from misconception. SMOKING ON RAILWAYS. Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to Mr. Cadogan, said he was quite aware of the antagonistic legislation which had taken place with regard to the Metropolitan district rail ways with respect to smoking. The Board of Trade could not be expected to settle everything, and under all the circumstances he thought the matter had better be left to the discretion of the directors. THE COURT HOUSE, GRAVESEND. /dr. AYRTON informed Sir C. Wingfield that the rote for building the Court-house was in the estimates now on the table, and as soon as it was passed the building would be proceeded with. THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY. Mr. GRANT DUFF said there was some mistake about the seven men in the sth battery 17th brigade of the Royal Artillery not getting their share of the money. The commanding officer said ho had not received it, and ac cordingly the Madras Government had been requested to make some inquiry into the mistake. THE POST-OFFICE AND ORDINARY SAVINGS else. BANKS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not assent to the request to allow the ordinary savings banks to receive the same amount from a single depositor as he allowed the post-oftlee, savings banks. The interest paid by the Government to the ordinary savings banks was.£3 ss. and the post-office savingsbanks.£2 10s.,but with the former there was no guaranteed security, whilst with the post-office savings banks there was the security of the Government. Ho did not mean to say that the depositors in ordinary savings banks were not en titled to every consideration, but he thought that, considering the large sums that had been lost in ordinary savings banks by poor people, and that frauds might still be perpetrated by the dishonest in the manage ment of those establishments, he did not feel disposed to extend the power that they possessed. RATING OF MINES. Mr. BRUCE informed Colonel Duncombe, that a bill for the rating of mines would very shortly be introdued. POSTAL COMMUNICATION. The Marquis of HARTING-TON said he was in com munication with the Great Western Railway with a vie w of improving the conveyance of letters from the midland counties to the western counties of South Wales. STORAGE OF SALTPETRE. Mr. CARDWELL informed Alderman Lawrence that the Government had come to the determination of remov ing all saltpetre stored in private warehouses. THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. DISRAELI said he had some amendments to make to most of the clauses, but he must be permitted, before doing so, to refute the charges which bad been made against those who had made amendments to the bill on his side of the house. His great desire, and those nleo rnp tesse. they severely obstruction, who act e d w ith hi m , was that the revolutionary and unconstitutional change which the bill made should be s o arranged th at t h e shock it would occas i on s h ou ld not b e t felt by the laity. (Hear, hear.) The amend yhheatdrueptltaocne,dheutpoenimpthlye t p e ap c e a r try were iete effectnot for the p yromises made by the Prime Minister last session. (LEFT SITTING. THE PORTSMO U 7 H REVIEW-THIS D.4Y. (By TELEGItAI'II.) PTCeSS37TTI Nn. The review will be a great success. The o arrivalo of visitors is very great, and the different regiments have arrived in tine order. The weather is all that can be desired, and the ships under Captain Courtenay—viz., Scorpion (turret ship), Stanch, Stork, Fancy, Pheasant, Ear n 3 t, and Hind--are all in position. The programme will be carried out ;in all its entirety. The operations will consist mainly of the attack and defence of Southsea Castle, and the flLet will co-operate with the attacking party. -- --- MADAME TusSAUD'S.—Among the models of scme of the most notorious criminals in the annals of crime, and which has been added to the Chamber of Horrors, Baker- , street, is one of William She ward, who, a few days since suffered the extreme penalty of the law for the truly bruta murder of his wife, some eighteen years ago, at Norwich and who confessed to mutil sting his victim in a most dis gusting manner. EiTUE 2EGEAs.—The prominent position of this horse for the Chester Cup is warranted by the fact o f his Laving been highly tried lately with Bluesk:n, Lancet and Birthday.

ART AND LITERARY GOSSIP, Mr. John Stuart Mill's new work, entitled "The Sub jection of Women," will shortly be published.—ln the " Life of Keble," by Sir John Coleridge, regret is expressed that the important letters which had passed between the poet and his friend,Richard Hurrell Fronde, had disappeared and couldnot be found, though a rigid search had been instituted. They have recently unexpectedly been discovered.—There still survive four medical gentle. men on whom the Guelphic order of Knighthood was conferred before the accession of her Majesty—viz., Sir James Clark, Sir Henry Holland, Dr. Latham, and Dr. Neill Arnott.—The question of reduced rates of postage, especially for newspapers and printed matter, has been taken up by the Society of Arts. They have appointed a committee to promote measures for accomplishing the reduction.—The sale of the various curiosities and works of art collected., by M. Edouard Fould realised £22,845. Mdlle. Nilsson is to make her last appearance for the season, in Paris, on the 28th, in " Hamlet," and she is to come out at Covent garden on the 4 h of May, a date on which another Swedish singer, Mdlle. Jenny Lind, first stepped on the boards of Her Majesty's Theatre. — Amongst the works to be performed at the Worcester Festival next September are " St. Paul," "Elijah," "Judas Maccakeus," and "The Prodigal Son," Mr. Arthur Sullivan's new oratorio. Engagements have been concluded with Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Santley, Mdlle. Tietjens, Madame Patey-Whytock, and other vocalists. The whole of the cathedral will be thrown open, including the choir, which is undergoing restorations that will not be finished for two years.—Timour's Library has not, after all, been discovered in the India House. The manu scripts, according to the Spectator, " have now been submitted to the learned Professor Ameuney, whose report settles the question. They were part of the library at Beejapoor, and fell to ts on the lapse of the Sattara State. They consist of 490 volumes, of which twenty-five are in Persian, and the rest in Arabic, twenty being poetry, seventy history, and most of the rest theology. Several of them are authors' copies of old Mohammedan works, the oldest bearing date 1133, and one, the Lawih of Taftlizani,' dated 1350, is believed to be the author's manuscript. They are a valuable addition to the great India Office Library, but of far less interest than was believed." SHARE LIST. ORDINARY SRARIfib AND BTOCHIS. Paid.

Fifteen "orders" are down for consideration this evening, the first of which is the further progress in committee of the Irish Church Bill. The next in import. ance is the Bankruptcy Bill brought in by the Attorney- General, which he will endeavour to get through the quicksands of committee. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill—a supplemental measure to the first —is also fixed for the same stage. Mr. Goldncy will endeavour to get his County Coroners Bill read a second time, although it will =A with the strenuous opposition of Mr. Dilke, who will move that it be read a second time upon this day six months. In the event of its passing a second reading, Mr. Cubitt will try to shelve it to a select committee. Mr. Ormsby Gore intends to ask the Chief Secretary fur Ireland a question relating to Irish railways ; Sir Stafford Northcote will seek some iaernation touching the disputes between the rulers of Muscat and Zanzibar; and Colonel Duncoinbe will want to know of the President of the Poor-law Board if it is his intention to introduce during the present session a bill for the purpose of placing the rating of mines on a more satisfactory footing. The Beerhouses Bill comes on for second reading to morrow night, and as there is no adverse amendment on the paper, it will probably pass that stage. The adjourned debate on the Irish Party Processions Bill is also fixed for tomorrow evening. Mr. Pease has given notice to call attention to the need of an early report from the royal commission appointed in 1867 to inquire into the duration of our coal-fields ; Mr. Fowler (Falmouth) will move an addres3 for a copy of the despatches addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies from the Governor of the Cape and the Governor of Natal in reference to slavery in the South African Republic ; Sir George Jen kinsou will call attention to the hardship and injustice inflicted on the ratepayers of certain p wishes by the present system of the partial abolition of turnpikes ; and Mr. Raikes thinks the present state of the law affecting agents guilty of corrupt practices at parliamentary elec tions well worthy the consideration of the House. On Wednesday Mr. Newdegate will be able to have another fling at Roman Catholics, he having given notice that on the motion to read the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill a second time, he will move that it shall not be further proceeded with. The Evidence Amendment Bill and the Poor Law (Ireland) Amendment Bill are both down for second reading. Mr. Staveley Hill intends to propose an adverse amendment to the first, and Mr. Synan will suggest that the second shall be referred to a select com mittee. Thursday being a Government night, the Irish Church Bill will again occupy the attention of the committee. Several bills are entered for different stages. The Conta gions D:scases (Animals) [No 2] Bill and the Local Government Supplemental Bill are fixed for committee ; and the Mines Regulation Bill and the Valuation of Pro- perty Bill for second reading. On Friday Mr. Gregory will bring forward his motion `or opening museums on Sundays ; Mr. B. N. Fowler intends to call attention to the advantages to the public service of embarking and landing the mails at a western port ; and Sir Hervey Bruce will move for a return of the new taxes placed on Ireland since the year 1852. 1 N JA I ' V Vlott HER MAJESTY.

Police-Constable Charles Squire, 24 C It, said that yos- t .rday afternoon he saw the prisoner with five small boys with cards at the c miler of Brewer-street and Sher wood-street, the:cards lying on the ground and money being placed on them. After watching the prisoner for an.hour he got the assistance of the constables, and re turned to the place, but being seen, all but the prisoner succeeded in escaping. 'the cards which belonged to the prisoner were all marked, so that the prisoner might won the smaller boys' money. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was sorry to say that a similar thing had been done at great clubs before now. The constable pointed out certain marks on the cards. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was not necessary for him to say how mischievous the prisoner's conduct was. it was shown that he had been imposing on little boys by making the cards. He was happy to say that power was given him to deal with the prisoner under the new act as a vagrant, and in that way he should certainly deal with him, and committ him fur 14 days without a fine, with hard labour. The prisoner's conduct was not only mis chievous in taking small boys' money, but it led them into habits of dishonesty. Several boys were also charged with Sunday gamblin "pitch_and toss"—and after hearing some cases from the inhabitants of different streets, Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the offenders 10s. each, expressing his intention of imposing higher fines for the future. SHAMEFUL CHUELTY.—Wm. Chapman, a carman, was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal, with the following cruelty to a horse. Joseph Dobre, officer of tho Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animal; said that he saw the pri soner driving two horses attached to a timber carriage, and observing that one of the horses was lame he examined it, and found that there was a large hole, reaching to the bone in the fetlock joint, a piece of canvas being placed to hide it from observation, and the horse was altogther un fit for work. _ ........ Woolway, 23 C R, gave similar evidence. The prisoner was remanded on his own recognizance, the horse ordered to be detainel at the greenyard that it might be examined by a veterinary-surgeon, and the society's officer was instructed to take out a summons against the owner. TRADE AND FINANCE. Of all the foreign Governments now in the money market, or about to make their appearance there, for the purpose of raising loans, there is not one which, from a financial point of view, can be regarded with confidence. And it is satisfactory to find that a con siderable degree of caution is now being exercised, by English investors at least, with regard to advances to these unstable Governments. It is scarcely too high a computation that the loans already out and in prospect are for no less a sum than 50 millions sterling. Of those already issued, there is the issue of £11,110,0J0 Nicolai (Grand Russian) Railway Bonds, which, although taken up on the Continent, has been com pletely shelved in this market. Of the Spanish and Turkish Loans very little has been obtained in this market, while the Roumanian Railway Loan for £1,500,000 will probably meet with a similar reception in conse quence of the bad faith of the Roumanian Government with former contractors. Not long since we saw an attempt of the Egyptian Government to obtain money here fail ignominiously, while, still more recently, a proposal from Turkey was scarcely listened to. These ,we venture to think, are healthy signs. Investors appear to have become convinced that there is a limit beyond which lending should not go, and accordingly the old borrowing States, which have come into the market from time to time with great regularity, have been the first to fall under suspicion. Looking at the credit of these Governments themselves, we see nothing that should induce capitalists to trust them. In the cases of Russia, Italy, and Spain, the finances have been going backwards for many years past, and so little mystery has been made about the matter that the Budgets of each have been estimated in deficit, without any attempt apparently to bring the receipts and expenditure into equilibrium. Spain, in particular, is in a very peril ous position at the present moment, and there is very great doubt whether she will be able to pay the interest about to fall due on the exterior debt, notwithstanding the loan that has now been raised. It would almost appear that the interest on all Spanish Bonds will be funded for some time to come. The estimated expenditure of the Government for 1867-68 was upwards of twenty-six millions sterling, while the revenue was something over twenty-five millions. This year, however, the expenses attendant on the revolution will cause a much larger deficit, while the revenue will have fallen off greatly in consequence of the aboliti on of the octroi duties , a nd other internal direct taxes. It seems almost impossible, under such circumstances, for Signor Figuerola to be able to meet the current expenses of the Government, and now that people's eyes have been opened to the true state of affairs, a new loan would b out of the question. These loans, however, must have a satisfactory influence upon the money market. They will absorb a con siderable amount of unemployed capital, and w ill cause an upward movement in the discount - - quotations. Already an advance ha s t a k en place- at Hamburg and Amsterdam, it being found necessary to prevent an outflow of silver from the country. The position of the money market here has for some weeks past been very peculiar. Notwithstanding the great difference between the value of money here and abroad, the comparatively high rates have failed to attract the usual amount of capital to this side. This has been accounted for by the suspicion that foreigners have begun to attach to English bills, owing to the failure, attended by discreditable revelations, of some of our principal houses, which were long regarded by them as the repre sentatives of commercial honour and opulence. It was the custom, when opportunities presented themselves, for foreign capitalists to send money over to this side for investment in long-fated paper, but, owing to the circum stances pointed out above, these operations have been very much restricted. It is a humiliating fact, but it is difficult to find any other explanation for it. • --- In trade generally, no feature of interest has presented itself. The amount of business passing in woollen and cotton goods is limited. There is no disposition on the part of manufacturers to go into stock, and they appear to be pretty well bare of supplies of the raw material. Apparently they are convinced that if prices of both wool and cotton do not recede, they will, at least, be able to purchase at present rates. THAMES. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—James Langfield, aged 14, who has lost one eye, was charged with cutting and wounding Ellen Doyle, a married woman. The parties are dwelling in a very low and dirty place, called St. George's-rents, St. George-in-the-East. The people there are very turbulent, are continually quarrel ling, and have given much trouble to the police. The mother of the prisoner and the complainant were quarrelling, and exchanged blows as well as words. The prisoner in terfered, and in allusion to his misfortune the complainant called him a blind-eye bastard. He then went to the dust hole iu his mother's yard and procured a piece of broken earthenware plate, with which he attacked her and cut her right arm. She was taken to the London Hospital, where the wound was dressed. For the defence Margaret Sanfield, the prisoner's mother, and two other women, swore the boy never cut the complainant at all, and that she was wounded by her husband at home. To prove the fallacy of this defence it was proved that the complainant's husband came home at half-past six in the orming, that his wife was wounded two hours previous to that time, and that she was in the hospital having her wound dressed at five o'clock. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprison ment and Lard labour. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australis► and Now Zealand, via tiouthampton.....April 21. Mao, via IY`Arseillos . . .

SPORIING NO TES. -- o The cue to the Derby mystery will be cleared up to-morrow, when it will be seen whether BAladrurn is the roarer that his opponents have persistently stated. When The Wizard won the Two Thou sand he was driven back to 25 to 1, and an old coach horse in the same stable, named Tom Bow line, was made first favourite at 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 But The Wizard won in a walk, and poor Tom sas nowhere. The same result took place i❑ Diophau tub's year, when Itnaus was made first favourite at 2 to 1, and the former ran away with the race, although at the long price of 25 to 1, cmpeiling the early backers of the h ra3 to wiu their money a , dust their will. The Hermit is another instat.ce where the plungers got the worst of it, as he actually started for the Derby friendless at 66 to 1, and so did Queen Bertha for the Oaks at 50 to 1, as well as Blink Bonny for the Derby at 25 to 1, and St. Albans and Lord Clifdeu, who both won the St. Leger iu their respective years, gave the " foxers" and " plungers" such a dressing that a great many of them have not shown themselves on the racecourse since then, having got leave of ab sence at head-quarters upon " urgent private affairs." With these facts staring me in the fie?, 1 cannot but think that BELLADRUM cannot lose the Two Thousand, if there is any re liance to be placed ou training information, and bearing iu mind his defeating all the be form that opposed him last year. The next best, in my esd.natioa, being PUETv:NDEIt and DUKE OF Bcau- Four. The llermioue colt will credit Baron Roths child with the Three Year Old Sweepstakes, and Blue Gown and Night-jar are certainties for their respective races. The Two Year Old Plate will be won by Florian ur Roquefort. There will not be a large field for the One Thousand Guineas, the best of the probable starters being Scottish Queen, Martinique, and Brigantine, and 1 think they will finish in the order named. The other events to be decided are of very little importance, and previous running will be a guide to spot the winners. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTURES. MAY.
