E. ruing. London; ohannes ale an r-I about tus used. Scotia, _MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK, There is no material alteration to notice with re gard to the Molney Market. The supply of capital is abundant, an d while in the discount market the lowest rate is 4 y?er cent., it is only 2 per cent. on the Stock Exchange. The demand is also restricted to Lombard-street, where a feeling of tightness is pre valent. The fact of another parcel of gold being sent into the Bank, with the improvement in the Foreign Exchange, is but a slight relief to the mar ket, the influence of adverse interests being much the strongest. The very circumstance of commer cial failures every now and then being announced, promotes an uneasy feeling ; and as reports are current in consequence of other houses being in dif ficulties, there is but slight chance of any imme diate improvement. About £40,000 in gold was sent into the Bank o England yesterday. The remaining 290 boxes of specie on board the Malabar, which sunk iu Galle harbour, have been recovered. The City of Washington has arrived from New York with £85,800 in specie. The traffic receipts on the Dutch Rhenish Rail- way for the week ending 31st ult. amounted to £9,751, being an increase compared with last year of £1,308. Increased activity was exhibited in the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were very firm. The sales were 12,000 bales. The half-yearly meeting of the Southampton Dock Company has just been held, when the re port, which stated that the number of vessels which entered the docks during the six months ending 30th June was 1,356, measuring 312,416 tons, was adopted. The English Stock Market to-day has presented a very quiet appearance, owing to the indisposition evinced to effect dealings either for transfer or on speculative account. No alteration of impor tance has taken place in Consols, which are quoted 92t, / for money, and 92/ 93 for the 6th proximo. The New 3 , per Cents, are steady, at 931 ; the Reduced are firm, at 9311 ; Bank Stock is heavy, at 2311 ; India ditto has im proved to 217-1 ; ditto 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has receded to 1011, 0 and Exchequer Bills remain at par to 3s. prem. Very few transactions are recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices show no important variation. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 74 to 741 ; ditto New, 601 to 60-1-; and the 4 per Cents. are steady, at 1001 ; Brazilian, at 100 ; and Portuguese, at 44. Spanish 3 per Cents. are flat, at 48i ; but the Cer tificates remain at 53. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 2 prem.; the Thames and Mersey, r t prem.; and the Universal, 1 prem. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1860. 1859. Great Western North-Western South-Western Brighton 21,043 20,190 Midland South.

Consols ' Money ' Ditto Account, September POLICE INTELLIGEII 7 CE-(THIS DAT.) MARLBORO UGH- STREET . USEFUL CAUTION —THE MUFFIN MAN AGAlN.—Ed ward Parsons, a fellow well known to the police, w charged befor e M r. Tyrwhitt with loitering aoutGroass- Tenor-square, with skeleton keys in his possession, for the purpose of committing a felony. A large white basket with a piece of gireed, the s prisoner n green baize, similar t c nand thus s t to those used by muffin-men, was prodw? h e us ing this means of gaining acces s t o the Ica to the plate. Sergeant Bason, 12 C, said that a little after 4 o'clock the previous afternoon ke saw the prisoner, who had the basket produced on his arm, in front of the house 34, Grosvenor-square, and as he passed him ho observed a key in his hand, but the prisoner noticing him, pretended to be counting some halfpence. The prisoner then crossed Davies-street and Berkeley-square, and when near 34, Davies-street, he dropped something down a cellar flap, and on his stopping and asking what he had had in his hand, he said only some halfpence, but on a search being made two skeleton keys were found. A butler at 11, Grosvenor-square, said he had seen the prisoner trying the area gate, apparently with a key, but thinking he had come from one of the tradesmen, took little notice of him. He afterwards recognised him in cus tody. _ _ Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said the prisoner was a regular pro fessional hand, and he believed he had had 4 years' penal servitude. A quantity of plate had been taken by persons going down areas with baskets like that produced—repre senting themselves as muffin men, venders of china, kc. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for 3 months with hard labour. A few days since a man was committed from this court for a similar offence. A HEAVY GAS BILL.—The New York corre spondent of the Mobile Iluister relates the following : Recently a gentleman returned from Europe. He had been absent with his family seven months. He paid his gas bill the day be left, and the house had not been opened for seven months, yet when it wa s th e gas man t oo k a re t urn from the meter, and a bill was made out for 52 dole. Mr. Grinnell went and complained to the secretary, related the circum stances, and threatened exposure ofsuch a barefaced robbery. He refused to pay the bill. " Very well, sir," said the secre tary. Mr. Grinnell went home and told his wife. " Pay it," said she. " Why so ?" said he. " Because," said she, " the day we left New York I had to go back to the house for some article I had forgot. The w i ndow -shutters were fastened ; I lit the gas. The other day, I found it still burning."

F Shares Ext..... 1 86 88 93k 911 11 11 dl 5 skd -- The great county meeting of York commenced this day, with a magnificent programme ; but the weather was not of the most favourable character for racing, rain having fallen, more or less, from an early hour. The course itself, which is nearly flat, was very sticky and heavy in many places; and after the various horses had done their exercises in the morning, the imprints on tho ground were deep and visible, thus at once showing the wet state of the soil. Upwards of 150,animals wore located in the city and neighbourhood, to fulfil their engagements, and, consequently, good sport was anticipated. As there were not fewer than twelve items on the card for this afternoon's entertainment, there was quan tity sufficient to satisfy the most ardent lover of the " national sport." It has year after year been suggested by the sporting press generally that the York Meeting should be extended to four days, and so far as convenience to men of business is concerned, there can be but little doubt it would be a move in the right direction. To further such a desirable tibject is laudable enough ; but we understand, were such an altera tion mooted, a vigorous opposition would be offered from high quarters, and perhaps permanent injury might be in flicted upon one of the finest and most pleasurable gather ings in the north of England. During last evening and this morning, speculation on the Ebor Handicap—notwithstanding the due arrivals of the London and Manchester divisions--was unprece dently dull. At Harker's Hotel Subscription Rooms there were but few inquiries, even after Defender and Moorhen ; and although Winkfield had been supported to win a few thousands in Manchester on the previous day, he was unmentioned here. Fordham, upon High Treason, opened the business of the afternoon, by winning the Zetland Stakes (for which fifteen out of the seventeen entries came to the post), after a splendid race from the half distance. Immediately after the race 40 to 1 was offered against the winner for the St. Leger, but we did not hoar him backed. The Black Duck Stakes produced some spirited betting between the Stock well colt and Mr. Merry's French-bred daughter of Catherine Hayes, first one and then the other being the favourite. Under Aldernft'a guidance, however, Lord Glasgow's colt achieved a clever victory. The Yorkshire Oaks brought out a field of seven. Stockade, however— who was a shade worse favourite than Moorhen, who had been backed for a large sum both in London and Manches ter, for some days previous —won in a canter. After the race 7 to 1 was laid against Moorhen for the Ebor Handi cap. The Convivial Stakes saw Mr. Merry's colours vie torious upon Folkestone, whose name was scarcely men tioned in the ring, and only a select few invested on him. Vergiss-mein-nicht ran fast to the Stand, where the deep ground told upon her every stride, and Folkestone won a fine race by a head. Sabreur cantered away with the Old Three-year-old Produce Stakes. The Fourth Biennial Stakes was an easy win for Vanquisher. Northern Light, owing to the heavy state of the ground, seemed unable to get along, and was beaten at the Stand ; Custance stopping him when he saw it was useless persevering. Swertha placed the Selling Stakes to her owner's credit after a splen did race from the half distance, and was bought at the hammer by Mr. Coates for 60 guineas. The Juvenile Stakes was won in a canter by Gardener. Forager also won the Chesterfield Handicap in a canter, his light weight serving him through the dirt. Brown Holland was the only one that attempted to race with him from the half distance, the remainder of the field being stopped many lengths from the chair. The rain was so dense whilst the race was being run that it was nearly impossible to make out a single colour half a mile from home, even with the aid of powerful glasses. The Burgundy Stakes and the Bram ham Park Stakes ended in walks over for Uralian 'and Stockdale. Her Majesty's Guineas concluded the racing, which had no particular feature of importance. The rain never ceased during the whole of the afternoon, which soon rendered the ground, already heavy, a complete bog. In the enclosure the water lay in pools, and walking about in the paddock was a matter of some difficulty, owing to the slippery nature of the ground. Despite these unfa vourable circumstances, the attendance, as it usually is at this meeting, was both aristocratic and fashionable. During the afternoon the betting on the Ebor Handi cap underwent an important change. Cape Flyaway, at one period, advanced to the low figure of 4 to 1 (taken), but afterwards 6to 1 was laid. Defender was steady at sto 2, and both Moorhen and Satellite were respectively sup ported at 7 and S to 1.. Ancient Briton was in a little de mand at 100 to 6, and this comprised all the real business transacted on the Great Ebor Handicap.

Betting-4 to 1 agst Cynricus, sto 1 each agst High Treason and the Makeless filly, 7 to 1 agst The Rap, and 100 to 8 agst Eidolon. Through the fractiousness of the Lioness colt, the start was preceded by two or three failures. When the flag fell, Annie, Lopcatcher, and Eremite went away in front, the Makeless filly and the Lioness colt losing many lengths. At the Middlethorpe turn, the Lioness colt cleared the rails and was at once out of the race. Before the distance had been reached the lot had taken closer order, and Lord Glasgow's filly had rapidly made up her lost ground, and Cynricus, Flash-in -the-Pan and High Treason began to draw towards the leaders. Below the Stand, Annie and Lopcatcher compounded, and High Treason, and Flash-in-the-Pan joined Eremite. A good race ensued, High Treason winning very cleverly by a length. There was half a length between the second and third, and the same distance divided the third and fourth horses. Lopcatcher was a good fifth, the others pulling up as they passed the post.

Vesta made play at a moderate pace, Moorhen going second, Aurora third, and Stockade last. Little or no change was observable until the distance had been reached, when Stock ade began to draw towards Vesta, Moorhen, and Aurora. Below the enclosure Vesta and Aurora were beaten, and opposite the Stand Stockade headed Moorhen, and won very easily by .two lengths. There was a length between the second and third horses. Vesta was a bad fourth, Roesia fifth, Seclusion sixth, and Hetty last. Tfie Convivial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added, for two-yr-olds. T.Y.C. Mr. Merry's Folkstone, Bst 81b . .

Vergiss-mein-Nicht took the lead at starting, followed by East Stanley, Lady Louisa, and Rouge Dragon, nearly in a c l uster, an d Folke stone lying wide on the whip hand. At the half-distance Vergiss ntein-Nicht appealed to be winning easily, but tiring as she neared the enclosure, Folkestone caught her, and won a splendid race by a head. There were two lengths between the second and third horses. Lady Louisa and Rouge Dragon finished fourth and fifth, close up.

Going along the woodside Sir William and Grenadier changed places, and Northern Light was pulled back into the rear. There was but little alteration in the position until the lot came to the distance, from which point Vanquisher, Sir William, Wildman, and Northern Light came on nearly level. At the Stand, Northern Light and Wildman retired, and Vanquisher, instantly shaking off Sir William, Lord Zetland's colt wen easily by two lengths, The others were pulling up as they passed the Judge.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held this day, in tho London Tavern. Horatio Love, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The directors' report, which has already appeared in Ths Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its reception and adoption by the meeting, said the directors appeared before them that day to render an account of their proceedings for the past half year. The report contained a true statement of the financial position of the company, and ho thought he should be able to convince the shareholders that they had every reason to be satisfied with the business transacted. The revenue account for the half year exhibited an increase of £25,996 14s. 5d., the receipts representing £639,362 as against £613,365 for the corresponding half year of 1859. The expenditure on the capital account for that half year, in respect of new works and increased accommodation, amounted to £5,125 Is. 7d. A sum of £11,065 had also been charged on account of the permanent improvement of bridges, which had been re newed with brick, iron, and earthwork, instead of timber ; a change which it could not be denied was considerably for the better as to durability and safety. The new station at Stratford had answered remarkably well, and by that means all disadvantages of the old structure had been removed, and the improved accommodation had been highly beneficial to the company in a financial point. The other charge in the account had been for four new engines and carriages required by the connection with the East Suffolk line, and those charges embraced the whole that had been made on the capital account. The next subject he would touch upon was the permanent way and he had great pleasure in informing them that it was in the best possible condition, and, from present appearances, it would continue so for a long time. (Hear, hear.) The efforts of the directors to increase the receipts from the run ning of excursion trains had proved eminently suc cessful, and from the immense number of ex cursionists who had patronised their line, and had yielded a very remunerative return. They were aware that several acts of Parliament had been sought in connection with railway projects which affected the Eastern Counties Railway, and the following were the results--the Norwich and Spalding extension from Sutton bridge to Wisbeach, defeated by the opposition of local parties; Wavering Valley Extension from Bungay to join the East Suffolk at Beccles, passed; Somersham and Holme Railway, withdrawn ; Sudbury, Melford, and Clare Railway, a local line, not opposed by the directors, passed ; Thetford and Bury, opposed by the company and defeated in the Commons; Epping Railway Ex tension to Dunmow, passed ; Epping Railway, access to London by Tilbury line, withdrawn in consequence of the opposition of this company. Bedford and Cambridge passed. The directors regretted they had not been success ful in all the hostile schemes that affected the company; but what they had failed in accomplishing had not been for any want of exertion on their part. The Chairman then referred to the heads of the report, and proceeded to notice the position in which the company had been placed by the late accident at Tottenham. The investigation that had taken Place had proved beyond doubt that every possible precaution had been taken to prevent accidents, and no human foresight could have prevented that melancholy circumstance—no human being could have prevented it, and the verdict that had been given against them in the late trial he felt was quite against the evidence. (Hear, hear.) The directors, feeling this to be the case, had deemed fit their duty not to let matters remain as they were, but had come to the determination to apply to four of her Majesty's judges for a new trial. (Hear.) He hoped the shareholders ware satisfied with their exertions, and he would resume his seat by moving the usual resolution, that the report be received and adopted. (Cheers.) The motion having been seconded, was, after a short discussion, agreed to. The meeting then separated. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per 41 sterling. On comparing these rates with'the English Mint price of 43 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4244 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at tire English Mint price is therefore nearly 1-10th per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allow ance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE TAY SALMON FISHINGS.—Since the rain of Friday last the capture of salmon and grilse has been good. On Saturday several of the lower stations had each from 100 to 150 fish, and on Monday morning 80 salmon and grilse were captured. The upper stations also fished well on Monday. On Tuesday there was a slight falling off in the tako.—,Scotsman. Share 106 stk 20f 201 10 100 i 100 100 s toe] stock 100 100 100 100 100 tock 5 1 281:81, COLONIAL GOVER" Can.

A moderate supply of beasts was on sale in this day's market. Prime breeds moved off steadily, other kinds slowly, at Monday's currency. We were fairly supplied with sheep. Downs and half-breds commanded full prices ; but long-woolled qualities were a slow inquiry, on former terms. The demand for lambs—the show of which was moderate—was somewhat restricted; nevertheless, the quotations were supported. Calves were in short supply and steady request, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81b. Pigs were firm in price, but milch cows ruled heavy. Per 81bs to sink the offal. s. d. s, d.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE .OF LORDS—(Tais EVENING). The LORD CIL NCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. STATISTICAL CONGRESS. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on the part of Lord Brougham, moved that a copy of the letter written by him, as president of the Statistical Congress, might be laid before the house.—Agreed to. 7.'HE MARRIAGE LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR then presented 12 petitions from Liverpool, Bath, York, Torquay, Exeter, and' other places against at ty alteration in the law of marriage. CONJUGA L RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD C-HANCELLOR said, notwitstanding his inclination to agree to the amendments made by the House of Commons in bills generally, he felt it his duty to advise their lordships to disagree to the amendments that had been made in this bill. The anomaly in the law which this bill sought to remedy was such that he did not think that there could have been any objection, but certain alterations that had been made in the bill in the other house were such as to completely defeat the object of the bill. Both sides of their lordships' house had passed the bill, but the Commons proposed to leave out two clauses, the result of which would be to leave the law in the same objectionable state, namely that a marriage would be dis solved on one side of the Tweed and not on the other, therefore the children would be legitimate in one place and illegitimate in the other. He, therefore, advised their lord ships to disagree to the amendments in the hope that the reasons they would give , for so doing would be such as to induce the other house to allow the two clauses to remain in the bill. The noble lord concluded by moving that the Commons' amendments be' not agreed to, and that a committee be appointed to draw up their lordships' rea- . sons for refusing to agree to the amendments. The motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned for the purpose of enabling the committee to draw up their lordships' reasons for adopting such a course. In a few minutes the noble and learned lord resumed his seat on the woolsack, and thweport was brought up, and ordered to be sent to the Commons. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LAW OF EQUITY BILL. The amendments of the Commons to this bill were con sidered and ag reed to. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. This bill was read a oecond time. spmn' DUTIES BILL, Earl GRANVILLE n.loved the second reading of this bill. Lord MONTEAGLE disogreed with the increase of the duties on spirits. He thought the bill would fail in its objects, because it went befomd the limits within which it was desirable to keep taxation. When those limits were passed an inducement was given. to illicit distillation. Earl GRANVILLE could not agree with the noble lord that this bill went beyond the limits of taxation. The bill was read a second time. SOLICITORS AND CONVEYANCERS' BILL. The Commons' amendments to this Lill were agreed to. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. This bill was read a first time. NAVAL DISCIPLINE BILL. The Duke of SOMERSET moved that their lordships agree to the Commons' amendments. The motion was agreed to. APPROPRIATION BILL. This bill was read a third time.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock. NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY. Mr. CONINGHAM moved for a return of all the pic tures purchased for the National Portrait Gallery, with the price paid for each picture, and the name of the person from whom each picture was purchased.—Ordered. REV. J. FAULKNER. On the motion of Mr. SCULLY the following returns were ordered :—" Copies of all correspondence, minutes,and orders written or made to or by the Commissioners for ad ministering the Laws for the Relief of the Poor in Ireland, or the Board of Guardians of the North Dublin Union, connected with the removal of the Rev. J. Faulkner from his office of chaplain to that Union." POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH DUBLIN. Mr. SCULLY asked the Under Secretary to the Trea sury when the new arrangements would commence for facilitating the postal and passenger communication be tween London and Dublin ? _ . Mr. LAING was understood to say that some im pediment had arisen in carrying out fthe arrangements in question, but that there would be no unnecessary delay. PARAGUAY AND BUENOS AYRES. In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE, Lord PALMERSTON said that the relations between this country and the Republic of Paraguay had been sus - pended in consequence of the unjust and cruel imprison ment of Mr. Caustall. That gentleman was detained a considerable time in custody, and was, ho believed, relieved only in consequence of a demonstration made by a British man-of-war in attempting to seize a Paraguyan steam vessel. The English Government demanded compensation for the injury Mr. Canstatt had sustained, but that demand had not been complied with up to the present time. With regard to the other question, it was correct that Buenos Ayres had separated itself from the Argentine Confedera tion, but negotiations were going on for their reunion. In the interim the British envoy would remain at Buenos Ayres. THE SUEZ CANAL. In reply to Mr. H. SEYMOUR, Lord VALMERSToN said it was quite true that the unfortunate Pasha of Egypt had been induced to take a very large number of shares in the Isthmus of Suez Canal Company, an undertaking which, as h e h a d f ormer l y s t ate d , was one of the most remarkable attempts at delusion prac tised in modern times. Several persons in Paris have also been induced to take shares in the undertaking. However, the prOgress of the works showed clearly that the under taking was impracticable, for it would require an amount of labour and money beyond the power of any company to supply. An unsuccessful attempt had been made to induce the Pasha of Egypt to take more shares. He was not aware that there were any negotiations going on by the British and French Governments in reference to this undertaking. Mr. Cobden had received no instruc tions on this subjeet. That gentleman was authorised to act with Lord Cowley in carrying out the commercial treaty. THE ISTHMUS OF DARIEN. 317. BRADY asked the First Lord of the Treasury if there were any political difficulties in the way of the pro ject for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, from Caledonia Bay to the Gulf of San Miguel; and, if the Government were prepared to co-operate with the Emperor of the French, who had offered to send a vessel of war and a staff of engineers to survey the line, which hi Majesty has de clared to be perfectly feasible. Lord PALMERSTON said there was no political im pediment to the construction of a canal crossing the Isth mus of Darien. On the contrary, there was an agreement between the English and the American Government by which protection was to be given to the canal when made. It appeared, however, that the undertaking was impracti cable. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN RAJUSA AND CORFU. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Con solidation Fund (Appropriation) Bill. In reply to Mr. S. FITZGERALD, Mr. LAING said that the Austrian Government had communicated to the Government of this country informa tion to the effect that they could not carry out the conven tion they had entered into with this country to carry out the communication in question, on a guarantee of a pay ment by this country of £15,000 a year fur 25 years. The Austrian Government now required that the guarantee should be increased from 25 to 50 years. No doubt the communication with India through the medium in ques • tion was most desirable, but three attempts had already been made to carry out that communication, and with out success. However, Government would do all in its power to effect this communication with India as soon as it could be shown that there was any reasonable chance of success. APPROPRIATION BILL. In reply to some observation of Mr. HANKEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that this bill had been printed three times, and he did not think that it was necessary to incur the expense of printing sepa rate copies for each hon. member. However he thought it might be advisable to have a few copies struck off and placed in the vote office. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EXCHEQUER BONDS OR BILLS (£2,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. ENDOWED CHARITIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. NAVAL DISCIPLINE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DIVORCE COURT BILL.—PRIVILEGE. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned de bato on the second reading of this bill, Lord PALMERSTON said that he fully concurred with the right hon. gentleman (the Speaker), that the fifth clause of the bill was an infringement of the privileges of the house by the House of Lords. He thought holi, members would do well to adopt the recommendation of the right hon. gentleman —namely, notwithstanding the informality of the bill, not to reject it. The House of Lords had sub sequently abstained from acting in regard to other bills as they had done with respect to this, and he would move that the bill be read a second time. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM said though in the first instance he thought they should reject the bill, still on consideration he agreed with the noble lord the First Lord of the Treasury. The peers had been under an impression that they had powers with regard to money bills, and he thought that the time had arrived when some check should be imposed on them. He thought that check had been given by the right hon. gentleman the Speaker. After some remarks by Mr. E. James, Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Malins and Mr. Whalley, Mr. WliiTE suggested that the bill should be rejected, in order to mark their disapprobation of the conduct of the other house. Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his motion that the bill should be laid aside. The SPEAKER explained that the effect of what had taken place would be to confine the practise to which the House of Lords had resorted to within proper an d that a d that any bill in future coming from that house in regard to money should be in the form of suggestion. (Hear, hear.) The amendment was then withdrawn. On the motion for the second reading, Mr. MALINS objected to the principle of this bill. The hon. and learned member said that no loss than 19 mar riages had been dissolved in the Divorce Cow t in only six hours, a ccording to the statement of the h on . and learned member for Marylebone (Mr. E. James). There were be tween 200 and 300 applications for dissolution of marriage, and he considered that the interests of society demanded that every precaution should be taken to prevent the NOW= tin A Marriage Win difil9lyed colawsim be h tvreen parties who might have grown tired of each othtu4 He had a very high opinion of the learned judge who pre , . sided in the Divorce Court, but he considered that thee Court should consist of three, or et all events two judges, in:dealing with a matter of so much importance as dissolu— tion of marriage. He trusted that now, at the close of the session, this bill would not be passed, and he gave notice that if they went into committee on it, he would move that, its operation would be limited to one year. He would con clude by moving that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Sir G. BOWYER seconded the amendment. He had, on a former occasion, designated the Divorce Court an en cumbered estate court, for the transfer of women ; and he believed in a large number, if not a majority, of cases decrees of dissolution of marriage had been procured by col lusion. He considered the court as a place which was resorted to by persons of morbid tastes, and, in many instances, it was frequented by persons who wished only to, obtain in formation as to the best means of obtaining a dissolution of marriage. The court was therefore not only one for grant ing divorce, but also a school for tracing the mode of get ting such divorce. He strongly objected to giving sole jurisdiction to one judge. Mr. E. JAMES said that the bill before the house was merely introduced for the purpose of fs cilitating the vast amount of business that had flowed into :the Divorce Court, and the principle as to the advantage or disadvantage of the court as an institution was not involved. He contended that a single judge was responsible indiv: idually, and there fore was likely to be more attentive than if he sat with other judges. He alluded to the case of.a gentleman whose wife bad eloped with his footman, and litho was at present receiving £3,000 a year from him. That case was put down for July last, and it was probable that it. would not come on till July next. In the mean time the :adulterer would be enjoying the alimony granted by the husband; and if the latter died before the case came on for trial his children and his property would be at the dispo sal of the faithless wife. There was no necessity whatever- for more than ona judge, and when other jud'Pes were calked i n to decide on r matters of form, they sat looking at teach other like the Rcman augurs, and wondering what . 1 hey were brought there for. lie thought that some of the clauses might be altered with advantage, but he trusted. that the house would not reject the bill. Mr. SPOONER supported the amendment, as he con sidered vesting full jurisdiction in a sincle judge would be prejudicial to the interests of society. Mr. HENNESSY also supported the 'amendment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said :he felt very deeply the delay that had taken place in bringing forward this bill, but if they retraced the business of the session they would perceive that that delay had been caused b y compulsion. He could only have brought it on after 1:2 o'clock at night, and would be justly exposed to the censure of the house if he adopted that course. He said that the bill was unfairly treated, and it was a measure merely for dispensing with the necessity of having the presence of three judges on all occasions when a dissolution of marriage. was applied for; but it left it to the discretion of the Judge-Ordinary to call in the assistance of judges when he deemed it desir able. There were clauses in the bill that rendered the evils apprehended by certain honourable members most unlikely to occur ; and, with rogard to collusion, after the most careful investigation he wuld not find any ground for a reasonable belief that there had been more than four or five instances of collusion in th o cases that came before the court. He believed that a full court would not afford the same facilities for detecting coltlusion tLat would be provided under the present bill. After a few words from Mr. GRIFFITH, the house divided— For the second reading.. Against it .. • ll Majority The bill was accordingly read a second time The ATTORNEY-GENERAL apposded to the house to go into committee on the bill without delay. Mr. MALINS said that he felt bound to bow to the ma. jority of the house, and therefore would not offer any fur ther impediment to the progress of the bill. Mr. HENNESSY could not consistently consent to the further progress of the bill. The house then went into committee oz the bill. [LEFT SITTING.] YORK RACES.—(ThisDay.)
