HOUSE OF LORDS. Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingston, and other peers. JOWETT V. BENTLEY. This is an appeal from a deciFion of the Court of Chan cery (Lord Chancellor Cranwcrth and Lords Justices) affirming the order of Vice-Chincellor Sir John Stuart, affirming the order of the Master of the Rolls, on his chief clerk's certificate, holding that the respondents answered the description contained in ths third •limitation of the testator's will (George Barron, late of Drewton, in the parish of North Cave, in the comty of York, who died in November, 1851), es devisee, or cbvisees, of his real estates. Mr. Malins, Q.C., contended flat the appellants were the persons described in the third imitation of the testator's will, and as such were entitled to take his real estates in preference to the respondents. The Lord Chancellor, without searing the respondents' counsel, affirmed the decision of :he Court of Chancery in favour of the respondents, and tismissed the appeal with e.3sts to the heir-at-law. The respondents' counsel did not ask costs from the appellants. COURT OF BANiTRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commisioner Evans.) IN RE MOODY.

GEORGE'S RIFLE CORPS. —Edward Collins, a young man, was charged before Mr. Bingham, by Sergeant Cole, 23 C, with attempting to steal a wateh under the following circumst*nces. From the evidence of Sergeant Cole it appeared that, about half-past four the previous afternoon, there was a large number of persons—neatly 20 0—assembled in front of Burlington House, in consequence of the Bt. George's Rifle Corps, who had been at dr,ll iu the court-yard. being about to march to Palace-yard with their baud. Knowing the prisoner to be a thief he told him to leave or he would get in trouble, and he moved away for a minute, but shortly after he saw him place himself alongside a gentle man, doubling his arms in a peculiar manner, so that one of his hands touched the gentleman's waistcoat pocket. He (the sergeant) then placed himself inside a public-house, near Burlington Arcade, so as to keep a look out for the prisoner, and on speaking to the gentleman, the prisoner having moved off, ho found his watch hanging down out of his pocket. The gentleman refused to attend to prosecute, but gal, e his address in Sussex Gardens. On this he went after the prisoner and took him into custody, the prisoner saying if he let him go he would keep out of his district. There was a large number of thieves present in the crowd. Prisoner said he knew nothing about the watch. He was only there to see the rifle corps the same as others. Mr. Bingham committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. THAMES JUVENILE OFFENDERS PROMPTLY PuNisriEn.—Abra ham Jacobs, a Jew boy, of No. 13, Petticoat-land, Aldgate, was charged with stealing five coats, the property of Caro line Clarissa Purssell, a pawnbroker and saleswoman, of No. 11, Jamaica•terrace, West India-road, Limehouse. It appeared that the coats were exposed for sale outside Mrs. Purssoll's shop, and the prisoner took them down in the absence of a person who was specially deputed to look after them. A person who witnessed the robbery gave information to an assistant in the employ of the prosecutrix, and he pursued tho prisoner and took him into custody, with the coats in his possession. A constable gave a very unfavourable account of the antecedents of the prisoner, and he was sentenced as a juvenile offender to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of '!orroction. James Johnson, a lad about 16 years of ago, 20, Single street, Stepney, was charged with stealing a sovereign from the person of Fred. Kemp, a servant at the new Grove NPlSMlAl 3 lttlett MM. on a eunesuay, ho was deliverin; milk to his employer's customers, and meeting with the prisoner, whom he had known some time, asked him to go round with him. The prisoner did so, and in the course of conversation he mentioned that be had a sovereign in his possession. The prisoner said, " Lot me look at it." He took it out of his pocket, and , held it out in his hand. The prisoner immediately snatched the gold from his hand and ran away with it. He did not see the prisoner again until this morning. llutley, a police-constable, 197 K, stated that he asked the prisoner what he had done with the sovereign, and he said, " Why, I spent it, to be sure ; what a fool Kemp was to let me see it." The prisoner was a very idle and dis orderly lad. The prisoner on being called upon for his defence treated the matter very lightly, and pleaded guilty. Ho was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard Labour for three months. 71118 DAY'S MARKETS.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Only a limited supply of beasts was on offer here, to day, in, for the most part, middling condition. All kinds moved off steadily, and Monday's prices ever well sup ported. Although the show of sheep were only moderate, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and in some in stances clipped sheep gave way 2d per 81bs. The few lambs on offer were a dull inquiry, at from 5s 6d to 6s 8d per 81bs. We had a fair demand for calves—the supply of which was only moderate--.at full quotations.

Races between mon from tho North and South of Eng land always create great interest, especially as they are now-a-days of less ft equent occurrence than they were in former days, or rather have been of less frequent occurrence until within the last twelve months, since which time there have been several. The veteran Harty Clasper, of the North, the " hero of a hundred fights," was at the latter end of 1858 engaged on the Thames against Thomas White, who had raised himself by his prowess to the third place on the river, and as youth will be served the Northern veteran was defeated ; next day Clasper's son beat a Londoner on his own water; then in the sluing of last year White was opposed to one of his own age, the renoNsaed Chambers, of the North, and on the coally Tyne White suffered his first defeat. Smaller matches have since occerred, and then came the great event between North and South, when the gallant Citarnbers aspired to the Champion ship of the Thames, his opponent being the renowned Harry Kelly, of Fulham. This race must be fresh in the recollection of our readers, and it is only necessary to say that the proud title of the championship of the Thames passed, for the first time on record, out of the hands of the London watermen. Another match is now exciting the interest of both North and South, being no other than a. race between the renowned Harry Clasper and George Drewitt, of Chelsea, who, although not a waterman, is probably the third man on the river. The difference between the ages of the two men is very great, Clasper being nearly double the age of his youthful opponent ; still there is not, in the minds of many persons, a certainty that the latter will win. His youth is undoubtedly a great adv antage, but the veteran Clasper is still an excellent smiler, end the odds are only 5 to 4 on Diewitt. The race will take place on the 24th of April, on the Tyne, from the High. Level to Scotswood Suspension bridge, for £lOO a side, and several deposits have already been made. Both men are reported very well.

It is most use ful ; for the contents are most conveniently arranged. In addition to the Trogrammes for March and April, the sub ject-matter of the book consists of Derby and Oaks lots, handicap lots, nominations for principal races, and many items of intelligence of value to racing men. The value of the book is enhanced by the tact which the editor, Mr. Albert Foist, has evinced in arranging the contents, by the publication of the work on the day on which it was an nounced.

Throughout the season gold and silver gauze has been very fashionable for ball-dresses. Tarlatane, with flounces embroidered with coloured spots of velvet or of gold --spotted all over-with gold, silver, white, cerise, &c. —are all in favour. We have also remarked an organdi, with white stripes, which makes a simpre but very charming dress, with two skirts or a tunic ; body, round, with a long sash or a Moldavian band. Tulle, worked with gold, and plain white tulle, with bouillonnes skirts, are always suitable and elegant for evening dress Moire antique and Moire Francaise, trimmed with blond, lace, tulle, tarlatane, and velvet are all used for quite full-dress. Velvet will always be fashion. able. Plain velvets of all shades—black, mauve, lemon, Saxony blue, cornflower, blue, pink, and even white —also Pekin velvet, black and white, violet and black, groseille and drab, groseille and white stripes, &c. It is true that these are rery expensive; but then the material itself is so rich and elegant that.it does not require any trimming. One of these dresses, which we will describe, was of black Pekin velvet, with narrow white stripes. This intermingling of black and white gives a kind of lead-coloured hue. The skirt was plain ; the body high, without waist ; the sleeves tight, with a cuff of embroidered cambric, without lace. White velvet has hitherto been but little used, either for dresses or bonnets, but it is now getting into favour. For wedding dresses, it is becoming fashionable. We observe that the dinner dress, demi-neglige is preferred to low body, unless, indeed, for a dinner of great ceremony. Velvet and Latin are the favourite materials for dinner dress ; the colours most worn are violet, green, and . grey. They are trimmed with lace, passementerie, ' and plait s o f beads • but moire and silks are still worn, and elegantly trimmed with ruchings of lace and silk. Bonnets are gradually increasing in size, and are worn over the forehead,aad wide at the side. The materials are the same as were worn last month— crape for visits of ceremony ; silk, or velvet and silk. Casoar feathers, and even the ends of peacocks' feathers, are very fashionable for trimmings. We have seen an elegant terry velvet bo-Inet, a shade between lilac advelvet, trimmed across the front with a scarf of the same coloured velvet, with an aigrette high up; the upper half white and the lower the same shade as the bonnet. The curtain, half velvet and half terry. No blonde inside. A plaiting of velvet and terry all round, with a small bunch of violets on one side. Strings of terry velvet. A very simple but charming head-dress is formed with a plait of gold carried round the hair, and tied in two long bows at the top, the ends trimmed with tassels orgold balls, falling behind the bandeau, or tied at the nape of the neck. Plaits of gold and silver, mixed with velvet or lace, form a very pretty head-dress for demi-toilette ; and nets of chenille or gold are still in great favour. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The contest for Cork county threatens to be one of no ordinary magnitude; and the issue is looked to with intese anxiety by all parties here. The Examiner, the mouthpiece of the member for Dun gannon; takes its stand with the Ultramontane Saxon, and says plainly that every elector is called upon to choose between the friends of the Pope and his enemies, " to decide between the head of the Catholic Church and the Government of the Whigs." The committee lists of the rival candi dates have been published. That of Lord Campden is headed by The O'Donoghue, one of the members for Tipperary, and following him come the signa tures of Bishops Keane and O'llea, tailed by a legion of priests, and a sprinkling of the laity of no remarkable position in the county. Upon the Attorney-General's Committee there are the names of between 30 and 40 magistrates and deputy lieutenants, besides those of a large array of the Roman Catholic gentry not in the commission of the peace, together with several highly influential parish priests, who have refused to be dragged through the mire at the bidding of Mr. John Pope Hennessy, whose reception at the hustings on the day of nomination was not of the most flattering description. The polling commences to-morrow (Thursday). STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Feb. 29.—There is a good business doing in many branches of the hosiery trade, and business gellrrA.Ve well engaged, and stocks on Aranftellght. In the country districts trade is healthy, and the operatives are generally well em ployed. There is not much change in the price of Wyrns ; spinners continu e t o be f u lly em pl o y e d. ools are firm, and command high prices. NOTTINGHAM, 20th.—The lace trade remains in as quiet a state as for some time past, as there does not appear to be much probability that there will be much alteration for the better at present. This period of the year is usually marked by much acti vity; this year, however, trade has been exceed ingly dull, both as respect the home and foreign demand. The Germans have operated to a slight extent, and there have been some fur orders exe cuted for plain goods. There is not much alteration in the hosiery trade. T h e change in the weather will render severalbranches more active. There is very little stock on hand, and future prospects are tolerably good. Yarns are firm, and spinners are asking high prices.

ANGLO-LUSO BRAZILIAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM COMPANY.—The directors of this company, by which the new line of steam service to Brazil was opened in October last, have issued a prospectus, stating the purposes for which the company has been incorporated, and explaining the general features of their project. By these steamers it is intended to form a line of communication between Great Britain and the Brazilian Empire, uniting the Great Western and South Wales Railways in England (both of which companies are represented on the Board) with the Pernambuco, Bahia, and the San Paulo lines in Brazil. The company has been 'received with favour by both the Portuguese and Brazilian Governments, from whom they receive subsidies to the extent of £30,000 for the carriage of their mails ; and the Postmaster-General has entered into arrangements with the Board, by which a postal communi cation monthly from this country to Brazil has been se cured. It is also stated that negotiations are in progress for extended postal services, which will, if completed, put the company in receipt of £15,000 as the amount of their subsidies yearly. CONSUMPTION.—We gave an account, about two years ago, of certain cases of consumption radically cured by the use of the sap of the pine tree (Pinus Maritima).. Additional experience seems now to corroborate the fact of the curative qualities of this vegetable substance, if we may judge from a long article by Dr. Ktlttldan, of Lamarqu o e (Gironde) published in the Revue The sap f the pine i s extracted as follows :—The tree_ is cut down, and the trunk divided into lengths of about twelve feet each. These sections are all suspende d in a vertical pos ition adapt_ vessels into which the sap is made t o °h or i ing a watertight collar t o the t op o f s b e Y cti Pt trunk, and then fill in g the kind of flow, shallow basin thus formed with water ; the latter penetrates into the pores of the wood, and drives out the sap at the other end. The sap of the pine has not such a disagreeable taste as other but haskebil i n n made up into been preparations from co niferous plants, p and may be be it te its natural state ; fo p in s a nd syrups by a chemist at B or d eaux, where the treatment of phthisis by this sap appears to be extensively practised. It seems to have a decided tendency to stop t u berculisation, and to prolong life considerably w h e n it does not produce a radical eure. It is moreover hi g hly efficacious in cases of bronchitis, chronic catarrhs and ail other affections of the windpipe in which a cough accompanied with expectoration is the dominant symptom. IMPERIAL PA RLIA M2N T. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Highway Bill, abolition of church-rates, &c. • WAYS AND MEANS The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to hon. members who had nieti. - ths on the paper not to press them until the house went into committee of ways and means. His only object was to secure the passing of the resolutions in reference to the duty on spirits. He trusted the house would • pass these resolutions as a matter of form, and by doing so they would not bind their hands, and the subject might afterwards b 3 fully considered. He would move, therefore, that the loot ions and other orders of the'day should be postponed win he had brought for ward his resolution. Soma hon. members having signified their assent to this proposition the motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved - the tollowing resolution : --That, towat ds raising the supply granted to her Majesty, in addition to the duty now payable on spirits distilled in the United Ejngdoin, there shall be charged on every gall o n o f s uch s pirits at proof which, on or after the 29th of February, shall be distilled or be in the stock of any distiller, or in any duty •f, ee ware house, or removine to such warehouse, the additional duty of Id. The resolution had reference to thedutyabout to be fixed I on foreign s pi r it s, an d i ts being agreed to would have the effect of protecting the revenue from loss, but it might be modified afterwards if the house deemed it expedient. The resolution was agreed to and the house resumed. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES BILL. The adjourned debate on the motion for the second read ing of this bill was resumed by Mr. NE WDEGATE, who stated that he would not in a house so scantilyattended move any amendment. The bill was then read a second time and ordered to be committed. MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL. Mr. MACKINNON moved the second reading of this bill. , He contended, that in consequence of the unfortunate dif ferences that had arisen between masters and operatives, it was necessary that a measure, such as the present ' should be adopted. When any difference occurred between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, a very simple proceeding was resorteeto, namely, a conference between delegates on both sides, and it was to establish a , similar method of settling disputes between workmen and their employers that the present bill was intro duced. If it wete read a second time he proposed then that it .should be referred to a select committee with a view to render it as effective as possible. Mr. SLANEY,seconded the motion. He said the work ing classes were rapidly increasing in numbers and intelli gence, and it was most de sirzible that the misunderstanding between them and the capitalists by whom they were em ployed should be terminated. He believed that result could be effected if friendly mediation were resorted to in a spirit calculated to elucidate and settle the mutual differences be.. tween the two classes whose interests were so closely identified. He believed the resu lt o f suc h me di at i on as ho suggested would have the effect of dein.. away with the influence exercised by members of the working classes who were actuated, in many cases, by pride or other evil motives. Mr. WALTER did not consider the bill would prove effectual in settling disputes between masters and men, but as it was to be referred to a select committee he would not oppose the second reading. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he did not consider the bill would effect the object which its framers contemplated. The first clause proposed that the two classes in question should ap point persons to arrange their differences, who were to have the authority of arbitrators. He contended there was no thing in that clause that added to the existing law, and it was therefore either useless or imperfectly expressed. The second clause related to the formation of councils, with re ference to which the Queen was to be petitioned, and the Home Secretary to license these councils under a certain condition, which license was to last for three years. He thought this bill would have the effect of fostering a delu sion on tie part of the working class, and therefore it would not receive the support of the Government. He had no objection to the appointment of a committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with strikes, but ho trusted the hon. member (Mr. Mackinnon) would not press his motion. Lord R. MONTAGUE defended the bill and referred to the Conseils de Prudkomme in France, and other tribunals on the continent, to show that the priaciple and practice of arbitration between workmen and masters was in full and beneficial oporat.on. The practice of arbitration prevailed amongst different trades in this country, and w ith great advantage both to woe. men and employers. Mr. EDWIN J AMES strongly advocated some attempts at legislation on the subject, but objected to the machinery of the bill. However, he approved hiedy of its principle, and considered this question should be referred to a select committee. Mr. HENLEY considered that the terms of the bill were too vague to be practical, and that they should pause before legislating on a matter which might have the effect of injur ing instead of benefitting the classes for whose advantages it was designed. Mr. E. COLEBROKE considered that the bill would not produce any practical effect, and suggested to the hon. mover not to press the second reading. After some discussion, in which Mr. Black, Mr. P. Urquhart, Major Edwards, Sir F. Goldsmid, the Solicitor- General, and Sir M. Pete took part, Mr. MACKINNON replied, and contended that the question, so far as related to his bill, was not understood. In deference to the views of the house he would postpone his motion for four weeks, and would then move that the subject should be referre Ito a select committee. Mr. CROSSLEY made a few observations, and the mo tion for the second reading of the bill was postponed. ADULTERA.TION_Oy FOOD, OR pRINEC. on this bill, said that a mini:nit - tee orthe house had sat for two sessions on this subject, and it reported that adultera tion was practised in the articles of human consumption wherever it was possible. It was a fact that adulte ration had become so much of a science that France, Holland, and other countries on the continent, had been compelled to resort to the most stringent measures for its suppression. This adulteration pressed most severely on the poorer classes, whose endea vours were so fully absorbed in obtaining food that they had no means of analysing it. It appeared that vux cornice and the most poisonous and deleterious drugs were the common elements of ordinary food and drink. It had been proved that much of the drunkenness of the poorer classes was produced by narcotic drugs and other adulterations in troduced into malt and spirits. He quoted several extracts from the report of the committee in qurstiGn. Mr. V. SCULLY did not consider the bill ealcu lated to be of - any practical utility, or that it would be of any benefit to go into committee with a v i ew to amend its details. He thought the practical mode of dealing with the question of adulteration was to have a board of analysts who would have officials whom they could send to inspect every shop. That board could be empowered to classify shoes according to the purity of the articles retailed, which when it appeared affixed to the name of the dealer in the commercial directory would have a most beneficial operation. He alluded to the practice which prevailed in the butter market in Cork, by which a brand was affixed to the butter sold there, and which en abled buyers at once to detect the quality of the article they wished to purchase, as an illustration of the practica bility of the plan he proposed. - Mr. J. LOKCE approved of the:principle of the bill, and suggested some verbal alterations to render it more effective. Mr. PEACOCK expressed a hope that the house would pass some bill on the subject g ofo in the o tte . committee, n an of d food. then He hoped that the bill would its details could be altered. After some further discussion, Mr. CLIVE, on the part of the Government, said he had no objection to going into committee on the bill. The house then went into committee. Mr. ROEBUCK objected to clause 1, which imposed a penalty for senil! , en adulterated article. By that clause it must be proved that the article sold was not only injuri ous to health, but that the vendor was aware of the fact, which would render th e bill i noperat i ve. He deprecated all peddling in legislation. He believed the bill might do more injury than benefit to the tradesmen of the metropolis and boroughs at large. Mr. CLIVE objected to the clause on other grounds. Mr. EDWIN JAMES concurred with the honourable and learned member for Sheffield in reference to the clause, which he considered also would be inquisitorialin its ope ration. Mr. HARDY objected to the clause, and moved its omis sion, but gave way to Mr. PEACOCK, who moved, as an amendment to the original motion, that the wards "with the knowledge of" should be left, which would have the effect of meeting the objections to the clause founded upon what had been said relative to the knowledge or the ignorance of the vendor as to the article he sells. Some discussion ensued, and Mr. PEACOCK withdrew his amendment. • Another amendment was proposed for the omission of the words "calculated to injure health," and the substitu tion of the words "injurious to health," as being more de finitive and intelligible. Mr. CLIVE iu the course of the discussion stated that the first part of the clause was useless, and the last ob noxious. Mr. lIANKEY said that after the statement of the hon. member (Mr. Clive), on the part of the Government, it would be better not to discuss the amendment, but to come to a decision on the bill without further delay. After some discussion, in which there was a great diver sity of opinion expressed, Mr. lIANKEY said that the house was in a position to decide the question without further discussion, and moved that the chairman do leave the chair. The motion was negatived, and the amendment was agreed to. Some other amendments of a verbal character were also agreed to, and on the motion that the "clause as amended do stand part of the bill, the house div l ited— Yor the motion ......................

THE IMPERIAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.—A Paris cor'r'espondent says that at the late ball at the Tuileries the Empres wore at once a peculiar and beautiful dress. " Over the familiar skirt of tulle bouillonne was throw a a short up per skirt of w hit e wa t ere d s ilk, f es t oone d u p on b o th sides with wide bands of black velvet embroidered with gold. Upon her head was placed a high crown of polished gold, upon which were imprinted, in black enamel, some Egyp tian hieroglyphics. - There were a necklace and bracelets to match. The Princess Clotilda was present. Her Imperial Highness is far from pretty, but a distinguished French political economist, speaking of her at the ball, declared he considered her the most extraordinarily endowed lady in Europe. She speaks fluentTy -five languages,. and is • thoruugh Greek and Latin scholar; is well acquainted with the works of all the ancient and modern poets, and is parti cularly fond of quoting Shakspere. Her character, inspir e of her extreme youth, is very firm —this her face indicates. The Empress is very fond of this her young relative."
