MONEY 'MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoorr. The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have not been very extensive, but for most of the lead ing staples full values have been realised. Sugar of good and fine quality is at fully late quotations, but inferior descriptions are a shade cheaper. Coffee has been dull, as large quantities are announced for public competition during the week, and purchasers have deferred their operations. Plantation Ceylon, however, is moderately inquired for, at about for mer values. Rice has been inactive, and but little business has been reported ; previous rates how ever, are current. The demand for currants and Palencia raisins has slightly fallen off, and the former are at slightly reduced values. Saltpetre has exhibited little activity ; and tallow has been dull. P.Y.C. on the spot has declined to 545.; June delivery to 535. 3d. ; and lis three months, 50s. 3d. per cwt. Letter; from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices of all descriptions tended upwards. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, 5,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 2,000 by exporters. The Railway Share Market presented a quiet aspect, and quota tions slightly receded. Two important meetings will take place to day— . _ _ vis., of the Pernambuco Railway proprietors, and the depositors at Messrs. Cdlvert's, the brewers, whose difficulties have formed a leading topic of conversation among all classes during the last few months. With regard to the former, a most important question has to be dis cussed and determined, but this will probably be deferred until the next meeting, the present one being merely convened for the purpose of adjourn ment.. Unfortunately there is a quarrel between Mr. De Mornay, one of the concessionaires, and the board of directors. Both parties have published numerous letters and pamphlets, some of them of voluminous description, and, as usual in such cases, their statements respectively made are Very contradictory. Of course a good deal of anxiety is manifested amongst the proprietary, the amount involved in the undertaking being three quarters of a million sterling. It is, therefore, most desirable—nay, almost necessary for its wel fare—that the disagreement should be satisfactorily and at once arranged, especially as the Com pany, besides this personal misuneerstanding, are stated tp be at issue on one or two import ant points with the Brazilian Government. It behoves the adjourned meeting, therefore, to dis cuss the questions before them seriously and calmly in order that the project may be carried out with that success which was originally anticipated. The other meeting—that of Messrs. Calvert's ereditors —is equally momentous. Here a still larger amount of money is at stake, and the decision which will be arrived at is of vital importance to the interests of all who may unfortunately be concerned. The question to be solved is, whether the business of the firm shall be carried on under a deed.of inspection, Until the liabilities are discharged, or whether liti gation shall be permitted to take place. If the statements put forth by Messrs. Calvert are (toned, and the assets, fairly estimated, are more than sufficient to meet the engagements in full should time be allowed, then it would be folly on the part of any creditor or class of creditors to mar the prospects of all by a rash recourse to legal pro ceedings. In that case a large portion of the as sets would be frittered away, and the final Payment must show something much less than 20s. in the pound, while the position of the firm, whose dculties all must regret, will be rendered still raore unsatisfactory. In short, bankruptcy should be avoided in order to improve the prospects of the c reditors, and to enable the partners, if possible, to surmount their troubles and continue their exten live business. About 22,0001. in mixed gold was taken from the Bank yesterday. There is a moderate demand for money to-day at previous quotations. There was a meeting of the shareholders of the Pernambuco Railway Company to-day, but it was merely to adjourn to the 25th inst. The Chairman, It. Benson, Esq., having put the resolution to that effect, the meeting adjourned accordingly. The English Stock market still presents an un favourable appearance, but the transactions are limited, and the alteration in prices is not im- Portant. Political rumours alone have produced this ilatneEs, a fear being aroused lest the motion to be brought forward on Thursday should lead to 4 ) Ministerial difficulties. Although this is quite i mprobable, and considered so by the public at l arge, still it must be admitted that the statements current upon the subject at the Stock Exchange }Ave dispersed those symptoms of heaviness lately i ritnessed.

Two men, named Wheelrr, father an , l son, described as coffeehouse keepers in Whitechapel, were indicted for stealing a young cock from the premises of Mr. Baxter, a gentleman residing at Cnigwell. The men bad been to Romford, and were apprehended at Mile. end, the fowl being in their possessicn, together with three others whose ownership had not been traced. A loquacious old woman was the principal witness, and though she was very positive about the identity of the fowl, which was produce,' and made a violent noise, her testimony was not of the clearest or most satisfactor3 character. Mr. Ribton poitited out the defects in thi evidence, and stated, on the authority of the prisoners, that they had bought the fowl of Mr. Baxter, who did not appear to give the Court any information upon the subject. The jury felt the force of Mr. Ribton's statement, and returned as their verdict that the prisoners were Not Guilty. NEW COURT. UTTERINS COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Thomas Harrison, a youtb, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit half .croa W and also with having other counterfeit money in hi• possession, well knowing it to be counterfeit. From the evidence it appeared that on the 9th of March, the prisoner, who was the son of a labouring man, residing in the neighbuui hood of the Elepkan= and Castle, went into Petticoat-lane, and there. in purchasing some fish of a man named Hart, ten. tiered in payment half-a-crown. Hart immediatei3 discovered that the piece of money was counterfeit, and told the prisoner so, who said, "Is it ? then give you another, and make no noise about it." Hart refused the proposal, saying, "No, you've been to me two or three times before to-day, and before I let you go must look over my money." He (prosecutor) went int , a public-house to examine his pockets, leaving the prisoner in charge of another person. On looking over his cash, he discovered that he had two counterfeit shillings, and he resolved to give the prisoner lute custody. He (prisoner), on seeing Hart, ran away, but was captured by a man named Hyams,and on his way towards the station-hou-e the prisoner threw away something, which was afterwards found to be two counterfeit shillings. On being searched at the station-house,a quanti ty;of good money was found upon his person, but amongst it was a bad shilling, which was proved to have been cast in the same mould from which one of the base shillings found in Hart's pocket was made. For the prisoner it was contended that it was a case of mistaken identity, and that the good money found upon him was not the produce of passing bad money, but was his own money : which, according to the statement of his mother, he had saved during the winter, and which she had given him the morning he was taken into cus tody to purchase some clothes with. Two policemen swore they had frequently seen the prisoner in the company of persons of noted bad cha racter, but that they hal never known him to have beer "in trouble." The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day. MARLBORO UR-8 rREET. INDECENT BEHAVIOUR IN HYDE-PARlC.—Henry Ridge, 59, of 60, Admiral-terrace, Vauxhal-bridge-road, was charged before Mr. Bingham with indecently exposing his person at Hyde-park. W. Bowcock, of 43, Praed-street, porter on the Great Western Railway, said that on the previous afternoon, about four, he was in Hyde-park, where he saw the prisoner exposing his person to a young female, who had four or six children with her, of about the age of twelve, near the Magazine close to the Serpentine. The prisoner then walked away to some hurdles near the Victoria-gate, where he repeated the same conduct to the same female—altOgether be did it four times. The 1 female asked him to get a policeman, and he endeavonrec: to do so, The prisoner did not seem to have been drinking, He spoke to the park constable and he 'NM taken into custody. W. P. Nolan, park constable No. 21, said he took the prisoner into custody and asked 4lai why he had done so. He admitted having his clothes disarranged, but said there was no harm. The witness further stated that at the time in question there were a large numb er o company waiting to see the gfu f carriages ull.eenitbeingthetime when th e par k was a l ways containing The prisoner said if he had done so he was sorry.

THACKWELL AND CAPE. The following letter on this melancholy subject has been addressed to General Sir J. Thackwell, G. CB. "Camp Dilkhooshab, near Lucknow, March 25, 1158. " My dear Sir,—As a friend and brotlasr officer of your son's it is my psinful duty to communica'e the me lancholy intelligence of his fate. The shook to you must be a heavy and a sudden one, but it will not, I trust, be so great as if the news first reached yen through the un feeling medium of the papers. The only information I have yet been able to glean of the sad affair is from a servant who was present on the occasion. From his ac count it seems that your poor son, and a friend of his of the name of Cape, went down to the front, as they were in the daily habit of doing, on the morning of the 20th. "At this time all the enemy's positions without the city were in our hands, but the greater part of the native city was unoccupied by our troops. They could not have been aware of this, and finding the part in front of our most advanced picket apparently deserted, they wan dered on past the picket into the city itself. Tile Moulvie himself, with some party of the rebels, was, however, in the city in a building, called the Fuzrut upas ke dirgab, and news must have been brought to his men that two officers were not far off, for a party of budmaehes and mutineers seem to have come out and surrounded tbem. The poor fellows took refuge en the roof of a house, but the rebels soon broke in the doors, and one of them, from a sheltered position, shot at your son, as be stood ready to receive the first man who should make hi s appearance, he fell back with one sigh, and the rebels then rushed on and shot poor Cape before be either had a chance of defending himself. The servant, a Kitmetgar in Cape's service, was then taken prisoner and hurried away, so that be can relate nothing further. information at th e p i c k et, f ound that they had He succeeded in escapi ng nex t morning, and, on going to give bad been brou g h t i n shortly before and buried. friendspoor fe 110 w already beard of it, and th a t t h e b od i es of my two poor it is ind ee d a sad end fur them I They were two of the fi nest , hi gh - spirited fellows post- Bible.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the followin g bil vere read a s e c on d time, iz.--the Liverpool Exchange, London D:ck Company, Knigh'on Railway ; Renni -tone, Thurlstone, and ()spring Gas ; and Barnetaple Waterworks Bills , . LORD CANNING'S PROCLAMATION. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY gave notice that on the 14th May he should move a resolution condemnatory of - he publication of the despatch of the Governor-General. (Ironical cheers from the Ministerial side of the house.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said it perhap might be for the conveniecee of the noble earl if he was low to lay on the table a copy, in extenso, of the des patch. (Cheers.) He would take that opportunity of correcting a mistake which ex sted with respect to tha. locumeut. It was quite by accident that the 'ouse only received a part of it on a former occa sion, while the whole of the despatch had been produced in the House of Commons. The fact was that it was in tended that the Secretary of the Board of Control should present extracts to both houses, but from some mistake the perfect document was accidentally transmitted to the House of Commons, and a compressed copy was laid upon their lordships' table. Lord CLANRICARDE asked whether there was any ether document in the possession of the Government which the omitted paragraphs in the proclamation -• ferred to, and if there was any objection to its produc tion. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said, notice of the question ought to have been given. He should prefer •newering the question to-morrow. Earl GREY—Perhaps the noble earl will say for the ,nformation of the house, whether the Government had toy further explanation of Lord Canning's views with iespect to the publication of the proclamation, in addi tion to that now i n possession of the house. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said not a word had been received from the Governor-General. The mly letter received was that of the 4th of March. In tact a month has elapsed during which time Lord Cau -1 ning had been completely silent. Earl GREY—Then he understood that the Govern ment had only received the draft of the despatch. They had no information that the production had ever been oresentt d at alt. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he had no , irect information at all whether the proclamation had ever been published. Earl GRANVILLE believed that Mr. Vernon Smith tad received a private letter from Lord Canning, which ,rnplied that a note accompanied the draft proclamation, Jitiniating, the Governor-General's intention of explain ay. his views in a subsequent despatch. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the conduct of qr. V. Smith differed widely from that of the noble -arl (Clarendon) opposite. That letter ought not to save been withheld from the Government. The Earl of DERBY asked whether the noble mar qui- (Lansdowne) could say when the let.er was received ! The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the letter to which alla•ion bad been made was not reveived until liter the answer bad been given in the other house by he Chancellor of the Exchequer on Thursday last. (Hear, bear, from the Opp )sition.) The subject then dropped. ANNEXATION IN INDIA. The Earl of ALBEMARLE postponed the motion of Nhich he had given notice, as he believed it was in some legree clnneeted with the subject alluded to in Lord Canning's proclamation. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—The noble earl hay lone justice to one governor-general —may I ask him to lo justice to another I I do not mean myself; for, of course, I do not expect that—but I mean Lord Dalhousie. rile motion of the noble earl is the strongest possible :ensure upon the policy of Lord Dalhousie, which was -upported by her MsjTsty's late ministers ; but it does oot state fairly the principle upon which Lord Dalhousie lid what he did, If his policy is to be censured, let the orinciple of it be stated in his own words ; and I do re• - pest that the noble earl, when he does bring forward uis motion, if he ever does bring it furward, will state the principle he condemns, in the very words of the noble marquis who preceded Lord Canning. CHELSEA HOSPITAL AND WATERWORKS— EXCHANGE OF LANDS BILL. This bill was read a second time. LAW OF PROPERTY AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed Lbrough committee. CUSTOMS DUTIES (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. r On the motion for the third reading, Lord MONTEAGLE said he did not object to the ♦ery high rate of duty which it was proposed by the bill to levy upon Irish spirite, provided only that it could be ~ l lected. Perhaps he ehould be told that the present itities were punctually paid ; but he would remind their lordships that the price of grain had latterly been very ugh ; and when that was the case the revenue authori jos had seldom much to complain of. But in point of fact smuggling was o❑ the increase ; for while the con .nmptio❑ of spirits had of late increased, the number of gallons taken for home consumption had diminished. l'he difference must, therefore, have been made up by spirits smugi,led or illegally distilled. There was another natter to which he wished to refer. The admirable body of revenue police had been abolished, and while a fair provision had been made for its younger members, :hose who had grown old in the service had been treated fa a most miserably parsimonious manner. The Government would save 40,0001. by the proposed ar rangement, and they might do an act of justice to these men for 20,0001. a year. He had no pers nal knowledge ,f any one of these parties, hut he appealed to any noble lord connected with Ireland whether he had not justly , fttimated the services of this corps. He should not make any motion on the suhject,:but be hoped t e Go vernment would look into the matter and do what was just. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE was understood to say that his noble friend seemed to think that this mea tire would increase illicit distillation in Ireland, but it was believed that that would not be so. As to the quantity of spirits consumed in Ireland, it mus.. be borne in mind that the population bad diminished, for while in 1841 it was 8,602,000, in 1851 it was only 6,500.000, and at the commencement of this year it wag oily 6,000,000. He did not deny that the operation of increased duties was to diminish to acme extent con .umption, but it was admitted on all bands that the too free use of spirits was not good. His noble friend ad mitted that the police force bad acted with great effect in checking illicit distillation, but he could notgo with him in thinking that illicit distillation had increased in licensed distilleries. He thought it was wise to put the spirit duty of the two countries on the same footing. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought that this matter was one of very great importance to Ireland, and he dreaded lest illicit distillation or the adulteration of spirits should increase. With reference to that elas,, o f persons to whom his noble friend (Lord Monteagle) had referred, they had been turned out of the public service at a time of life when it was almost impossible for them to devote themselves to anything else, and he recom mended their claims to the notice of the Government. The Earl of DERBY said that, as to the particular class alluded to who had been superannuated, he must say to the noble marquis opposite that it was quite suffi cient f 'r the Government to have to defend their own measures without having cast upon them the burden of defending the measures of the late Government. This was the second time within a short period when leading members of the late Government had ac cused them for acts of their own. (liter, hear.) The late President of the Board of Trade had attacked the Government as to the arrangement for telegraphic com munication wi!li India, and had made an admirable speech, pointing out the superiority of another plan, without waking to the consciousness that the plan so objected to was that adopted by the late Government of which he was a member. (Hear, hear.) The noble marquis protested as to the injustice of the superannua tion. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—No. The Earl of DERBY—To the great hardship then in fleeted on the officers of the revenue police by reason of the inadequacy of the compensation. It did happen that that compensation bad not been assigned by the present Board of Treasury, but by the Gr,vernment of which the nille marquis was so distinguished a mem ber. (Laughter.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—A complaint had been made before be joined the late Government, and he had intended to bring it under the notice of his colleagues. The Earl of DERBY wondered that the noble mar quis had allowed the matter to sleep so long, (A. laugh.) It Wag at all events very extraordinary that the noble marquis had accepted office in the government that bad inflicted such hardship on a body of his countrymen—(a laugh)—if indeed it were a case of hardship ; but he did not think it was. Ile thought that these men had received as much as they were enticed to. Upon the consolidation of the revenue police with the general constabulary of Ireland, every man who was fit for service in the revenue police was transferred to the con stabulary police. They then had to deal with those who were incapable of perfoiming their datiee, and they were dealt with in this way. All who had served for a period of time which entitled them to receive less than half of their pay and emoluments bad assigned to tbem a sum equal to half of their pay and emoluments, a sum larger than by any circumstances they were entitled to under the Superannuation Fund Act. Those who had served for a longer period, and came under the Superannuation Act, had assigned to them the utmost amount that the Lords of the Treasury could assign ; this applied to those entitled to more than half their emoluments. The complaint really was not that the government had done too little for one class, but too much for the other. It was the old parable of the labourers in the vineyard : their eye (said the noble earl) is evil because ours is good. A memorial had been prepared in which superannuation was calculated upon the basis of pay and allowances, whilst the government took as their basis fur superannu ation, pay and emoluments. "Allowances" included such items as forage for a horse ; but when a man left the service he, of course, bad no claim to such an allow ance. Nothing could be more unjust than to regulate superannuation in reference, not to pay and eraolurnente, but to pay and allowances. What he said was tbi,, that they had given to those who had only been a short lime in the service more than they were entitled to, and they bad given to those who bad been longer in the service the maximum that they were entitled to claim ; and under these circumstances he could not see:th a t the parties bad been dealt with unfairly. There may have been cases of 1 8 5 8. individual hardship, but as a general rule he thought twat the late Board of Treasury had treated these parties with justice and liberality. xpl w ai r n o e t r! g t . ha N t he had said cou th at ld b both ti , tgov ir u fEAL nts G had E e done e more unjust than to suppose that these men were claiming receive compensation far horses and other allowances go longer necessary, for no such claims bad been brough forward. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY raid he was ic ormed that the noble earl at the head of the government had stated that it was the practiceof the late government to blame their successors for their own measures, a n d there was no doubt that the present government had 'hown great facility in abandoning their own measur es :Ind adopting those of the late government. With regard to the electric telegraph, what took place, so far as be re collec'ed, was this—He had referred to nog tiatioos the Austrian government, and remarked that the noble viscount (Lord Palmerston) had staled in the other house a few weeks before that all negotiation had sea Fed on the suhjsct. It would he most detrimental to the °albite that the Austrian government should have the control of the telegraph. He sail he hoped that an at tempt would be made to see whethtr the same ser vice could not be performed by English capital on more advantageous or en equal term., especially as the Aus trian Government intended to get the telegraph by Eng lish capital. The noble earl, he understood, was pleased to say that be had only carried into effect the recom • mendation of the late Government, but he understood there was no minute, no decision of the late Govern went. (Hear.) There was a proposition from the Sar linian Government, to which no answer had been re turned, and he must say that he was totally unable to get any satisfactory answer from the Government on this subject. The Earl of MALMESBURY—As to its being im possible to get an answer from the Government, be would tell their lordships what had occurred. In the first place, the noble lord gave notice. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he had giv n no notice. The Earl of MALMESBURY—The noble lord's re lative told him at the bar of the house that the Louie lord was going to ask a qufstion. The noble bold birrisrif seemed exceedingly uncertain whether he would bring .12 the matter or not ; and after wandering about tee house for two or three hours, said he would not bring it on. As to the Sardinian Government, he had seen a document signed "J. Wilson," the name of a minister f the late Government. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY—The noble earl referred to a question relative to the Cagliari, and not to a queetion as to thn ,dpetrie telegraph, the minute as to which could not be considered as the act of the late Government, The bill was then read a third time and pri, , ,sed. The Exchequer Bonds (2,000,0001.) Bill was alo read a third tune and pleied. Their loriships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. LIMERICK ELECTION. Mr. DUNLOP, Chairman of the Limerick Election Committee, reported to the house that the late election for the city of Limerick was a v , ,id election. TO3t. Major Gavin, the sitting member, had been guilty of several acts of bribery by his agent=, but without his knowledge. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and pasged : —Linton Gas ; St. Andrew's and Qu-bec Railroad Com pany (Class A Shan-holders) and New Brunswick an:i Canada Railway and Land Company. The order for the third reading of the Horsham Turn• pike Trust bill was discharged. Toe following bills were then considered and ordered .o be read a third time:—Banbridge, Lisburn, and Be f tst Railway (changed from BaniPidge, LiAurn, and Belfast Junction Railwa , ) ; Thsselslelgh Road; B'yth Harbour and Duck ; Exetdr and Exmouth Rail cay ; Fromartine and Buchan Railway ; vErury and o.d Meldrucn Junctio❑ Railway ; Liver. pool Improvement ; Manchester, Hyde, and Mott am Road ; Nletrop Titan Board of \Yolks (Victoria-park Aporoach); and Norwich GM,. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY BILL. Lord J. MANNERS moved that copies of the in structions to Thomas Page, E-1., C.E. f the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Works arid Public Building,4, on the subject of the Victoria Station and Plnalic Rail way Bill ; of Mr. Page's report in reply, dated May 3, 1858 ; and a letter from the secretary of the Brytril of Works to the sol , citors for the bill, dated May 4, 1858, be referred to the clinmittee on the bdl.—Agreed to. INDIA.-VOTE OF CENSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. CARDWELL gave notice that he should on Thursday next move a resolution in the following terms: " That the house, whilst it abstains from expressing Jul opinion as to the p 'Huy ofanyproclamation by t'ie Governor General in India in relation to Oude, has seen with re gret and serious apprehension that her Majesty's Go vernment has addressed to the Governor-General of India, through the secret committee of the East India House, a despatch, condemning in strong terms the conduct of the Governor-General of India, and that they are of opinion such a course, on the part of hPr Majesty's Government, must ten , -I, under the present circumstances in India, to pro duce a most prejudicial effect in that country, by weakening the authority of the Governor-General, and encouraging the further resistance of those still in arms against 1.P." (Loud cheers.) NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL MODEL SCHOOL AT BELVOIR. Mr. CALCUTr asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if the National Agricultural Model School at Balyoir, in the county of Clare, was closed ; and, if so, how 10, , g it had been closed, and if there was any objection to the production of the correspondence between the Board of Education and the patron f,f. the school ? Lord NAAS said the school was closed in June, 1355, in consequence of the expense. lie had no object.ons to the returns proposed. BRIDaE OVER THE REGENT'S CANAL. Mr. WYLD asked the First Commissioner of Works, if it was in'endEd to widen a;4l enlarge the bride over the Regent's Canal (near the Glouce,ter Gate), in com pliance with the request contained in the memorial of the i❑babitauts of the Regent's-park and its neighbour hood Lord J. MANNERS said he had looked carefulTy into the whole of this question since a deputatio❑ called upon him in reference to it, and he was of opinion that if the bridge was widened it must be done at the expense of those in the locality, and not by the Government. The question had therefore better be addressed to the repre sentatives of the Vestry in the parish in which the bridge is situated. INDIAN TREASURE, Mr. LAURIE asked the President of the Board of Control 11 , ,w the valuable trea-ure and other property found in Lucknow, and elsewhere in nude, was to be disposed of ; and whether any portion was to be subject to pr;ze money for the army. Mr. H. BAIL LIE said that at present her Majesty's Government had net received any information whether any prize money or plunder had been found in Luok now. Until her Majesty's Government had received that information, it was impossible to answer that question. MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. BUTLER asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, having regard to the various reports of the referees and commissioners upon the subject of the main drainage of the metropolis and the purification of the Thames, it was his intention, before acceding to any scheme for carrying out the 135th section of the act for the better local management of the metropo li., to cause any further investig ►tion to be made by a reference to the committee recently appointed or other• wise ; and whether it was in contemplation to amend or modify such act, with a view to the adoption of auy scheme that may not be in accordance therewith. Lord J. MANNERS said the only power possessed by the Government in reference to this subject WR3 a power of veto only. No scheme was now before the Government, and all he could now say was, that should the Metropolitan Board of Works submit any further scheme for tue purification of the river Thames, he should withhold his sanction to it until the committee referred ti had reported on their labours. He was not aware that the Board of Works wished for the amendment of the act referred to. ORDNANCE SURVEY. Viscount DUNCAN asked the Secretary for War whether the Royal Commissioners, appointed last year on the subject Li the ordnance survey of Great Britain, had made their report, and, it so, at what period a copy of it would he presented to this .house General PEEL said the report had not yet been pre sented to her Majesty's Government, The Chairman had informed him it would be ready in a few days. As soon as it had been laid before her Majesty no time would be lost to lay a copy of it on the table of that house. od E e E l d t o C: c l a L re rd ytoutOFFlCEßS.heSecretary the re uif trn iv), ar whether Colonel it ARMY K as G n t S , ‘ C r tions of the committee appointed to ii , guire into the Army Medical Department, of which Mr. Stafford wa 9 chairman in 1856, or any of the recommendations of the Sanitary Commissioners, of which the right bon. the mfmber for South Wiltshire was president, which related to the pay, rank, and organisation of the army medical officers, or whether it was intended to c , :ntinu the system now prevalent under the present dirt ctor general.

On the motion that thl Luals! amenduaeuts to this bill be agreed to on clause 5. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that they should not be agreed to by that house. Mr. NE WDEGATE supported the amendments. Sir R. BETEIELL urged that it was the duty of the liouße of Lords to have attended to the feelings of the of this country, and to have agreed to the bill in the form in which it was sent up to their lqrdships' house. The House of Commons had on repeated occasi ons Passed such a bill as this, and with increasing numbers and in various Parliaments. He hoped the house of Lords wou ld not drive the House of Commons into capoon with them, and compel this house to seat Baron R)thschild by r....solution. If it was necessary he would move such a resolution After some remarks from Sir J. PAZINGTON in expla cation, Mr. S.

Bett4ll) thought the House of Lords woul I to his threats, be would find he had never committed a greater blunder in his life. Only two Jews bad been elected to reeve in Parliament, and no petition had been presented to that house from members of the Jewish persuasionin favour of the bill. Toe people of England, as a body, were opposed to the introd uc tio n of Jews into Parliament. ("Hear, hear," and " divide"). After some remarks from Mr. T.

Lord J. RUSSELL moved the appointment of a com mittee for drawing up the reasons of the Commons die agreeing to their Lardshipe' amendments, with a view to a conference with their lordships, viz., Lord .John Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir J. Pakington, Letti Stanley, Sir F. Kelly, Lord Palmer- Rain. Sir G. Lewis, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Labouchere, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Geeletone, Mr. Cardwell, Sir R. Bethel!, Mr. Bright, Mr. M. Gibson, Mr. Horsman M , r. D i ll w y n , M r. T . Duncotnbe, Mr. .Headlatn, Mr. Re.ehuck, Mr. Moncreiff, Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Mr. Deasy, and Mr. J. A. Smith. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE iu accordance with nreceideut of a person reternel to that house who had not taken the oaths, moved that Baron Rothschild be one of the corn wit ee, in order that he might state his reasons and opinion.; at the conference, Mr. DILLWYN seconded the motion. If Baron Rothschild hal the right of sitting on a committee, he ought to be allowed to do so. The very fact of a mem b,r mf the Jewish persuasion acting as a member of a committee would give a practical illustretion of the ab surdity of the present law—an illustration which per haps might have some effect in another branch of the Legielwure. (Hear, and laughter.) The question having been put, Mr. NEWDEGATE rose, amidst much laughter, and said the hone had on two different occasions de clared that Mr. Salomons and Baron Rothschild were incompetent to sit or vote in the house, and he con ceived the precedent referred to by the hon, member for Finsbury inapplicable to the present case in the face of such decisions. (Heel.) He wished to ascertain the opinion of the right hon. menib,,r the Secretary for the Home Department whether a person who had been de clared incompetent to sit in the house could be ap pointed a member of a cointait'ee ? (Hear, hear.) ' Mr. WALPOLE said he had been sorne , vhat taken by surprise by the propesi' ion of the hon. member for Finsbury. (Laughter.) He thought the house ou g ht carefully to consider the proposition of the hon. member before coming to any positive decision. He (Mr. Wal pole) was not at all awar: that such a course of proceed ing was about to be taken, and therefore had not had time either to look at the precedent., or to consider the effect of the proposition. To the best of his recollection, the act of Parliament attached the penalty to members fer voting or sitting during debate. If so, possiuly it would not only apply to the present case. One thing struck him on the lace of the precedent which had been quoted, namely, that in 1715, no person was duly quali fied o take any part in the proceedings of the house without being sworn, not merely at the table, hut before the'Lord High Steward. He could not find whether Sir Joseph Jekyll had Lot been sworn or not. If he had been so a dorn, he would have been returned to the house as a member, and that was a material element in the con sideration of the question. All he could say was that, .f Byron Rothschild by constitutional precedent was entitled to sit on a committee, he would offer no ob jection to his doing so. (Hear.) But he asked the house to consider whether they were really right in following the course recommended, and adopting a novel proceed ing which might lead to inconvenience and difficulty. (Hear, and oh, oh.) Mr, BOUVERIE said his attention had been called to this point some time ago, and he thought there could be no doubt, on the face of the precedent, that Baron It, bectelet was entitled to sit on the committee. He should therefore support the motion. (Cheers.) Mr. LYGON thought it desirable that the house should know whether Sir J. Jekyll was sworn before he acted on the committee, because, if so, there would be a great difference between the two cases. Lord J. RUSSELL bad been as much taken by sur prise as the right hoo. Home Secretary by the proposi tion which had just been made. Three or four years ago he had looked at the precedent referred to, and believed that Sir J. Jekyll strived on that committee before he took the oaths, but he rather thought the omission was owing to the accidental circumstance cf his not having arrived in time to do so. It, was perfectly understood at the time that Sir J. Jekyll would take the oaths as soon as he had the opportunity. At the same time, he thought the precedent sufficiently strong to justify the hon. member for Finsbury in proposing that Baron Rothschild should be added to the committee, and it the hon, member pressed the question he should certainly vote wieh him. (Cheers.) He thought, however, that it would have have been more courteous to the house if notice had been given of the proposition. (Hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON thought the question bad been treated with the most perfect fairness by his right hon. friend (Mr. Wa pole.) Whaterer were the opinions of honourable gentlemen as to the question of the adtuis• eien of the Jews to Parliament, he believed that none desired to interfere with their legal rights, and if liana Rothschild had a legal ; right to sit on a committee he believed the general feeling of the house would be in accordance with the view expressed by his right hon. friend, There was considerable difficulty about the question, as it turned on the construction of a precedent with which the great body of members of the house could net be expected to be acquainted. He trusted as a matter of fairness that the hon. member for Finsbury would not object to the postponement of the question till to-morrow. (Hear.) Mr. WARteEN rose as a friend of Baron Rothschild to express a hope that a little more time would be allowed for the consideration of the matter. (Laughter and cries of Oh, oh.) He would advise Baron Rothe chilo's friends to consider the position in which they were about to place him — (laughter) —and to examine carefully the nature of the liabilities which might attach to him. (Hear, he ar.) Lord PALMERS lON recommended the hon. mem• ber for Finsbury to yield to the suggestion which had been thrown out, and allow more time for considera tion. (No, no.) Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said be was not aware that the committee would have been nominated immediately. If the ordinary course had been pursued of placing the names on the paper, he should have given notice of his in entiou tv prepese the rams of Baron Rothschild. The resolution of the home in the case to which be had re ferred was perfectly clear on the subject ; and all he asked the house to do was to permit Baron Rothschild to act. on the committee, although, as was the case with Sir J. Jekyll, he had not been sworn by the clerk at the table.
