The loading country imarkets on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, and nearly all kinds were in improved request, at a slight advance in the quotations. Fine barley and flour changed hands steadily, at very full prices ; but all other produce met a dull inquiry. Throughout France the trade for both wheat and flour continues devoid of animation. In the north of Europe, as well as in the United States, the trade generally rule s heavy. Only moderate supplies of home-grown wheat were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 4,283 quarters of wheat, 7,216 barley, 4,734 oats, 120 beans, 131 peas, 10 tares, 35 mustardseed, 170 sundry seeds, and 1,:333 sacks of flour. _ Fresh up, to-day, from Essex and Kent, the arrivals of wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were very moderate, but the general condition of the supply was tolerably good. From other districts the receipts were limited, consequently the show of samples was not in excess of last week. The attendance of both town and country millers was rather on the increase, and the demand ruled steady, at fully last Monday's currency, to an advance of is per quarter. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer, and the demand for it somewhat improved. How ever, as factors almost gener a lly re f use d t o se ll excep t on higher terms, the business doing was only mo d era t e , a t fully late rates. Floating cargoes of grain supported last week's quota. tions. We were very moderately supplied with fine and useful qualities of barley which changed hands steadily; at an advance in the quotations of is per quarter. Malt—the show of wheat was only moderate—met a dull inquiry, at last week's prices. The demand for oats was far from active. In prices very little change took place. For beans there was a good demand at an advance in the quotations of is. per quarter. In peas, about an average business was doing at late rates. Flour was in improved request, and country marks were Is. per 280 lbs. dearer than on Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From Norfolk there was an increased supply of beasts, compared with Monday last, and the quality, generally speaking, was good. From other quarters, however, the receipts were very moderate. Alth oug h th e t o t a l ;how was by no means numerous, the beef trade ruled heavy, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported—the extreme v..luei of the best Scots being 4s 8d per Blbs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cam bridgeshire amounted to about 2,000 Scots, and short horns; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds —from Scotland, 550 horned and pulled Scots ; and, from Ireland, 250 oxen. We wore again very- moderately supplied with all breeds of sheep ; nevertheless, the mutton trade raled rather heavy, but without leading to any change in ♦alue. The top price for Downs was 5s 2d per Blbs. Seamly any Irish sheep were in the market; but about CY) shorn English qualities were on offer, and which changed hauls at 6d per 81bs_ beneath those in the wool. The supply of calves, b)th English and forci4n, was very moderate, yet the veal trade ruled dull, at Friday's decline in value. The highest quotation was 5s per Sibs. There was scarcely any demand for pigs —the supply of which was limited, at last week's currency. • estimates came before the house, he should ask why a sum of 516,0001. had been spent without any authority from this house. (Hear, hear.) THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. WISE gave notice that he should, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward his motion for a select committee to inquire into the site of a national picture gallery and the enlargement of the British Museum, move that the Royal Commissioners having presented a report thereon, no further inquiry was necessary. (Hear.) PUBLIC EDUCATION. Mr. COWPER brought up her Majesty's reply to an address of the house for the appointment of a Royal Commission into this subject, in which her Majesty stated that having taken the subject into her conside ration the Royal Commission would issue for the pur pose required. SEWAGE OF TOWNS. Mr. ROUPELL asked the President (f the General Board of Health when the commissioners appointed to inquire into the disposal of the sewage of towns would be prepared to present their report, and whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any measure this session based upon their recommenda tions ? Mr. COWPER said the report of the commissioners was now being printed, and he was enable to say at present whether or not the Government would intro duce a measure based upon their recommendation. CONTESTED ELECTIONS (IRELAND). Mr. COLLINS asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Royal Commissioners, having reported that "for a long period corrupt practices have prevailed at contested elections for members of Parliament for the county of the town of Galway," it was the intention of the Government to introduce any bill founded on this report Mr. H. HERBERT said the question was answered on a former night. PROCTORS, &0., OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Mr. H. FOLEY asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer what mode he proposed to adopt for ascertain ng the incomes of the proctors and other officers of the Ecclesiastical Courts, entitled to compensation under the act of last session, whether by their own returns for incoree tax or otherwise ! The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the act only came into operation on the 11th January last. Daring that short time claims had been received from GO gentlemen for compensation, and it was anticipated that 500 at least would make claims for compensation tinder the act. Under these circumstances, it was not possible for the Government to come to a decision on what principle the claims should be met. It was a question of great extent, delicacy, and difficulty. INDIA. In answer to Mr. PALE, Mr. V. SMITH said no such report had been re ferred to, nor did he think it likely such would be made. Under the circumstances of the state of Ie Aa it was necessary that Indian officers shoull be recalled who were on furl Hugh. Some had been appointed to office by the Governor-General. They bad been paid their passage money, and the time they had been on fur lough would be counted as service. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. CHILD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government this session to introduce any bill to amend the laws relating to weights anal measures ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not undertake to produce any measure on the sub ject this eession. BARRACK ACCOMMODATION. Viscount INGESTRE asked the Under Secretary for War when it was the intention of Government to proceed with the designs for infantry and cavalry bar racks selected by the official Committee on Barrack Accommodation for the Army i❑ the years 1855 and 1856, according to the pledge given to the successful candidates ? Slr J. IZAIUS.DEN said no new barracks had been commenced since the period referred to. When the army estimates came before the house he should ask fur a sum of money for the erection of a small cavalry barracks at Nottingham, and if it were granted they would be ortc.ed under the direction of the gentleman who gained the first prize for designs for cavalry bar. racks. THE PRINCE ALBERT TROOP SHIP. Mr. HENLEY asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, whether any certificate (under the Mere ant Shipping Act, 1854), bad been granted by the Board of Trade for the Prince Albert, 2,500 tons, iron steamship, that sailed with troops for India in the autumn of last year 1 Mr. LOWE said that the Prince Albert was taken up by the East India Company for the conveyance of troops to India, having been approved of by the surveyor to the company. She was afterwards surveyed by the surveyor to the [Lard of Trade, who reported that the vessel did not comply with certain requirements under the Merchant Shipping Act, but he did not reportagainst the vessel, believing h.er to beagood and trust worthy ship. Under these considerations the Board of Trade refused to grant a certificate, but under the emergency of the case they opposed no objections to the vessel's sailing, and she sailed without the certificate. Mr. HENLEY gave notice that he should put a question to-morrow to the chairman of the Board o' Directors relative to the contract entered into with the owrer of the vessel. INDIA. BILL.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. ROEBUCK resumed the debate on the India Bill. He believed the bill weuld provide a better government for India than it had ever et joyed under this Government. To retain the govern ment of India they must give to that country such a government as would maintain order and peace, and conduce to the happinese of the people. They must have recourse to a different principle of Go. vernment to that adopted for the colonies. The hon. and learned gentleman referred to the history of the Indian Government since it had been under British sway, and in reference to the proposed council, said he ent , rtained fears that it would produce a divided re sponsibility by the Minister for India in that house, attributing to the members of the council, throwing im pediments in the way of carrying out certain pleasures. He censidered the emergency of the times rendered the bill neceesary, and the house and the state of this country admitted of the subject being coolly and calmly considered. He begged the house not to shrink from its duty. Mr. DUFF eetia the old system, as modified by repeated parliamentary influence, and the public opinion of this country was not only most beneficial in action, but was becoming daily mere and more benificent in its acts. He ho :waver gave a qualified approval of the bill. He had no wish to oppress India, but if they thought such a measure as this was required by the necessity of the time they ought to carry it out with an iron hand. M.

Valiant. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Welehy, and Mr. Joseph Brown ap. pealed on the part of the Crown ; Mr. Huddlestcn, Q.C., Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. Bell, for Brown ; Mr. Elwin James, Q.C., and Mr, Asplatid, for Esdaile, Mr. Lawrance,itor Macleod; Cochran, who had not pleaded, did not appear ; Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. D.

Kelly, Mr. Bovill, Q.C,, and Mr. Coleridge for Stapleton ; and Mr. Digby Seymour and Mr. Bennett fer Cameron. The following is an abstract of the indictments —The indictment charged the defendants, in the first count, with having fraudulently conspired to represent that the aflairslof the British Bank were in a prosperous:condition during the whole of the year 1355, and half of the year 1856, aad far that purpose, in order to carry out the conspiracy, to publish a statement of the affairs of the bank, to declare a dividend, when, in fact, so dividend had been earned ; to issue 500 new shares, when they well knew that the bask was approaching ibsol vency, and to publish false abstracts of the annual balance-sheets, purporting to exhibit, let, the assets and liabilities ; 2d, the profit and loss ; 83, the capital property and its value ; and, 4th, the obligations and circulations of the bank to the date at which the accounts were made up. It further charges that they did, in fact, publish each false statements ; that they had paid dividends as if they Lad been earned by the operations of the bank which had in fact never been earned ; that to keep up the credit of the hank they purchased shares in the market and paid for thorn out of the moneys of the bank ; that they issued circu• tars falsely stating that the bank was prosperous, and published advertisements inviting persons to become shareholders, with the like object; and had a'so pub fished a notice that they were about to issue a large number of new shares at a Si. premium. With the exception of the last count in each information, which is a general count to cheat, the statements in the several counts are varied with respect to shareholders, customers to the bank, and liege subjects generally, the object charged being to defraud, by inducing such persons to buy new shares, or to depost money in the bank. The case was resumed this morning. It is expected that from the intricacy of the details connected with the charges to be proved against the defendants the evidence for the prosecution will not lyo completed till Saturday. The learned counsel for the defendants will occupy at least three days in addressing the jury for their respective clients, and allowing one day for Lord Camphe 1 to sum up, the case will not be finished earlier than Thursday or Friday week. Lord Campbell suggested to the jury that it would b better for them to take copi ous motes f v m e mence that would be adduced on the trial, because they would be detained many days, and the evidence would no doubt be of an intricate character, referring, as it world, to so many defendants, The Foreman of the Jury said he was directed by the jury to make a rather novel application. They would be called upon to attend malty days, and they thought they ought to be paid a guinea a-day far their attendance. Lord Campbell said it was impossible for him to make any arrangements of that kind. It must rest with the parties concerned. The Foreman—Perhaps Sir F. Thesiger could give them an answer. Sir F. Thesiger said it was hard to call on him to say anything on the subject. I have no authority to act. Lord Campbell said neither sides ought to be called on so to act. Sir F. Thesiger said it was undesirable he should be called l,TL hore: d u ps up then ic ! tob e :h i a then t ns o aasd p i rdtrohophenpneoeutdhn. recalledc o e u g a h n t o s po so. and examined by Mr. Atherton in reference to the Welsh mines. Lord Campbell saidsit was .desirable that when any newrevidence was called on its nature should b e b riefly stated. Sir F. Thesiger assented, and said he then proposed to commence inquiry into the Welsh mines, and pursue it to its end. Mr. Paddison then proceeded—Mr. HS Scale hap transactions with the bank in 1850. Ho was enga,e 1 in the iron trade in Glamorganahiro, and was in commu nication with Dutalerr and Swift, a London house.lMr. Scale obtained a credit of 5,0001. in that year, which was limited to 3,0001., to cover any bills the bank might be liable bearing their names. On August 16, 1850, a mortgage of the Hyett collieries was executed by Scale to the Bank, and also his interest in two mortgages for 2,000/, on property in Liverpool, which bore a previous mortgage for 5,000/. The lease of the colliery was for 21 years, with a surface rent of 551. annually for the coal and iron mines, with 3504 a year for the first 15 years, then 250/. for the next year, and afterwards a pepper corn, making a gross payment of 6,658/. for the term. In 1850 a further advance of 3,0001. was made to Scales on the assignment of a Inoitgege on plant and machinery at Langley Field Colliery, Staffordshire, and iron works near Salop. There was also a speciel charge given on Scales' interest in premises at Briton Ferry, Gerth, Cefu and Park 'iron works, warehouses and wharves at Portcawl, Glamor gan ; there was also a subsequent mortgage on 600 tons of pig iron. The witness then preceedecto detail the transaction in reference to theseadvances,anithe part the defendants took in the proceedings by reference to books, papers, tto. The evidence was of the dallestdescriptiun, but it might be briefly narrated in the fell° wing wanner:— Scale was also at that time the lessee of the Catherine Gas Ironworks and the Briton Ferry works ; he was uuder a contract to purchase the iron works from the Galvanised Iron Company for 50,000/.; part of the purchase money was to be left upon a mortgage of the estate. The Briton Ferry works he was to purchase at 20,0031, upon the same terms, He applied t o th e b an k for fan tiler advances, and he gave, by way of eceurily, mortgage on the Langley Fields Colliery, in Stafford. shin , . Tile bank contirmed to discount the bills of bele drawn upon Dumhar, and a Mr. Swift, a merchant, had been employed in the negociation of those discounts, and in a vE ry little time it appeared they amounted to about 13,000/. The bank, according to a statement made by Esdaile himself, wan very insufficiently secured for these large advance.", and it was suggested by Esdaile that the bank should advance a further sum for the purpose of enabling them to become the purchasers of the dif ferent works which had been designed to them by way of mortgage. Pending these negotiations Scale became a bankrupt, and the matter proceeded between Swift, Damlerr, and the company. The bank was to advance to Dumlerr a sum of 20,0001., which they were to pay to the Galvanised Iron C m3pany, who re to sell the firJt riwr,gage for a sum not exceeding 20,000/., and a sum of 4,0001., which they agreed to advance, provided Dumlerr and Swift would undertake to procure another 4,0004 The Galvanised Iron Company was to have a second mortgage for 10,000/., and Damien. and Swift procured the advance of 4,000/. nomi nally from a person named A-hley, but which was in reality advanced to the Galvanised Iron Company. Dtitnierr and Swift were to carry on these works in Glarnorgaushire, but it was agreed that the bank was to send down an inspector to ascertain that the preoeetlinga were properly carried on. The advances in June, 1851, by the bank to those works were 48,0001, Messrs. Dueilerr and Swift required a further anyone's, being unable to pay their workmen, and the bank consented if the parties gave them a warrant of attorney to advance theist 10,0001. The bank advanced them 10,0501. to enable Dumlerr and Swift to pay a com position of 3e. 6d. in tke pound. The whole amount advanced by the bank in respect of these works was 65,000/., whereas the whole 'rains was 23,000/. The works were thrown on their hands. Unsuccessful attempts were made to get up a company to take the mines, but at last a Mr. Clarke proposed in 1852 to work the mines ' and to pay th e bank a royalty, a n d t o app l y t h at in liquidation of the debt. Mr. Clarke resigned the directorship, and endea vt.ured for some time to work the mines ; but he was at length forced to give it up. The whole of these works were eventually abandoned as worthless, and the final result was that it appeared from the balance-sheet of the 31 Sept., 1856, that the bank had suffered a loss of 120,000/. Tais evidence was given to show the reckless manner in which the directors dealt with the fund 3 of the bank, and the insertion of the securities in the balance sheet as available, when in reality they were worthless as tending to prove misrepresentation and fraud on the part of those directors who were privy to the advances as they were made, and when the half yearly reports were agreed to and distributed to the public. In the course of the negotiations for the ad van cea Mr. Mullens informed the directors that 200,0001. bad been laid out on the works, and that it would take 30,000/. to work them. The plant, if sold on the premises, would fetch 15,0001, He bad con structed the engine, &c., for the G a l van i se d I ron Works. He reserv e d to himself the right of revising his off-hand estimate. The bank afterwards sent Mr. Williams to inspect the works, and he wade a report to the bank which could not be found, though Mr. Paddison said ho believed Mr. Williams had a copy in his possession. Sir F. Kelly called for the production cf the report, or a ccpy of it. Sir F. Thesiger would admit a copy. The defendants had subpmakd Mr. Williams, and were ao doubt aware of the contents of the report. Mr. Williams was celled by the Crown, and pro duced a copy of the report, but Sir F. Kelly objected to its production without Mr. Williams was put into the box. Sir F. Thesiger declined to do so. Sir F. Kelly.said that without the report the evidence for the crown was incomplete in a most important part. Sir F. Thesiger said he would take the responsibility of not calling Mr. Williams. Lord Campbell said he would admit secondary evi dence of its contents. Mr. Paddison (the writer) said it was a ♦oluminous document, and he had no general recollection of its contents. ' This witness's evidence having reference to the execu tion of deeds, &c., and the correspondence between the partie', as well as explaining entries in the minute book relative to the transactions between the bank, Scale, Dnmlerr and Sw i f t , w ill i n a ll probability occupy the whole of the day. Much time was occupied in reading the various documents. A correspondence was read in reference to the Welsh and Langley Field Collieries, and the minutes of the Court of Directors in 1851. Certain portions of them were rea i for the prosecution, and others, at the request of the learned counsel, for the defence. In one of them it was stated that the Cefu and Garth Works would realise a profit on working of 4,000/. That report was made after the embarrassment of the borrowers. Witness raid that on the 2d December the general manager and Mr. Esdaile inspected the Welsh mines. The Cefu and Garth coal mines were represented to them as inex haustible, whilst the markets for the sale of the coal raised were easily to be reached. These desirable objects it was stated in the report might be realised at a trifling coat. The Briton Iron Works were reported as a good investment, and a small advance in the price of iron could not fail to attract customers that thiswould v evidence n a c d e v wasaiitagt g e advantageous show that t othe bank. thedirectors The in making tendency of their advances and afterwards in their atte m p ts to work the mines had acted on representatio ns which the y thought reliable, but which were i n fact of a dece ptive character, and that they b elieved the y were acting bona fide for the benefit of all cm• cerned with the Royal British Bank. In June, 1852, Mr. Beveridge reported to the bank that the Cefu Collier ) , and Garth and Park Ironworks were w ort h , Cefu Colliery as a going concern, 10 ,000/. ; the iron works, as a going concern , 10,0 00/. ; and th e p l ant od \illiams, who as to be broken up, (3,0001., maki ng together 26,000/, Mr. Beveridge in that report stated the groundsi,in pests/ c o e n t e whichh e mines, dif feredand i rr . thereon. l' These matters were brought forward •in great detail before the Court, and they were most carefully considered by th e b oar d .

The candidates on the list being more numerous than ciuld be received on one evening, in accordance with the masonic law ; it was also desirable, on account of the very heavy business to be transacted on the usual night. The candidates in attendance on the first-named evening were—Mr. G. W. C. Deane, Mr. Charl€s Jackson, Mr. Henry Hart, Mr. Edwin Beck, and Mr. I. W.

The preamble recites the litigation and bad feeling occasioned by the forced levy of these rates as a reason for their abolition, and the first clause summarily enacts that alter the passing of the Act no church rate shall be made or levied in any parish in England or Wales. Church rates, however, may still be levied for the purpose of paying off certain moneys raised on the security of the said rates. The Act will not extend to Scotland or Ireland.

In reply to Lord WENSLEYDALE, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he intended if it meb with the approbation of their lordships, to move that the house resolve itself into a eornmittee of privilege the first week after the Easter recess, for the purpose of proceeding with the hearing of the further arguments in the Shrewsbury peerage case. THE INDIAN MUTINEERS. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, seeieg the noble earl op posite, begged to ask him a question—namely, whether any instructions bad been transmitted to India with respect to the punishment of the mutineers I He was induced to ask the question, from the circumstance tbat be had read in the papers of to-day, a talegraphicdespatch dated 13th of January, at a place the Caine of which it woe, of course, impossible to recognise, that Sir Hugh Rose had tried, condemn e d, and executed no less than he did not question the justice penalty o f d eath upon the ,e ked up on mutiny as a clime of rao l f 4 u 9 itai m nfiej u ce t it, i i,: e gb e retsch.aeu because x o ht s , v er e , a: deepest horror ; but he questioned very much the policy ree penalty in every i nstance , , t flogging or transport a ti on the best results would follow. H e found Wet ever since and expediency of too freque n tl y i nflicting that punish ment, because he believed that th e e ff ect would he to induce the natives of India to t a k e part in the mutiny I rather than help to put it dow n . H e thought that if, in stead uotfhionfflitiicetsinwgetrhe to i oext n r ifl e the capture of Delhi six or seven ex?.cuticros took place daily, and that instead of tending towards the re-estab lishruent o f c i v il l aw in I n d ia , it would produce a blood feud. He hoped the Government would give the sub ject the most serious consideration. Earl GRANVILLE Laid the Government had for warded no final instructions to India with respect to the punishment of the mutineers. He considered, with the noble earl, that the frequency of inflicting the punishment of death would not be desirable, and the Governor-General of India had already sent out an expedition to the Andaman Islands for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility of founding there a penal settlement. With respect to flogging, without it was, carried out with severity it would answer no good pur pose. On the other hand, if it Wag so carried out, it was likely to enlist the sympathy of some persons on the side of those upon whom it was inflicted. The noble earl might rest assured the subject would receive the greatest consideration. GENERAL WINDHAM. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said, after what had taken place at Cawnpore, he had been expecting in formation from that quarter with the greatest anxiety, which would have the effect of clearing up the conflicting statements with respect to officers in command there. (Hew', hear.) Their lordships would be glad to hear that that day he had received a letter from the Commander in -Chief, Sir Colin Campbell, entirely exonotaqng Geo. Wyndham from all blame. (gear, hear) Blame is attributed to other quarters, but he would rather not mention where at that moment. It was gratifying that Gen. ii r rridllam was entirely exonerated, and Sir Cohn was on the 100k -out to confer upon that gallant officer some important command. (Hear, hear.) BANKRUPT COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM moved Lir returns of the number of days in which the commissioners of the courtsof bank ruptcy have sat in their courts during the last year, the number of their adjurations, and also fora return show. ing the names and addresses of the commissioners, the official assignees, and other officers of the court— agreed to.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. M`MAHON objected to the second reading. It was not such a bill as should be sent to a select com mittee. The object of the bill was to relieve the corpo tion of Belfast for money to the extent of 134,0001., and throw it on the ratepayers improperly. An injunction had been filed in the Irish Court of Chancery to prevent a further waste of money b y those gentlemen, and the Lord Chancellor of Ireland had decided that the corpora tion had powers . to the extent of 150,0001., that they (the corporation) had no right to exceed that which they now sought by this bill t o b e i ndemn i f i e d readingextentas of the bill be - Mr. CAINS supported the second reading of the bill. It was R such a bill as ought to be sent to a select committee, when the changes made by the hon. and learned member could be fully and fairly investigated. He hoped the house would not accede to the amend ment of the hon. and learned m em b er. It was iden tical to a similar bill which the hous e l ast session allowed to be read a second time. Mr. FITZROY urged that this was a b i ll th a t oug ht to be submitted to a committee. It was true the corpo ration had ,expended this money, but it had been ex pended legitimately in improving the town of Belfast. W 0 had lent the money if the bill ' was not read a second time and sent to a com mittee for investigation. (Hear, hear.) wasl‘MHO withdrew his amendment, and the billread a second time.
