MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. There has been less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last kW days. Tea at public sales barely sustained Previous rates. For sugars the demand was chiefly for home consumption, at slightly reduced Prices. Coffee was in moderate request, at a de cline of about 3d. per cwt.; but large dealings have b een effected in rice at enhanced quotations. Shares have been dealt in to a fair extent, but at lower rates. For saltpetre there has been only a limited inquiry, with no change of importance to note in value. Tallow has been flat, and prices have ruled in buyers' favour for both present and et , forward delivery. at A fair amount of business was transacted in the e st t , -Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices Were fully supported. The sales were estimated at at 12,000 bales. el The public sales of Colonial Wool continue to R exhibit a rather active appearance, and full rates a are generally current. 81 Th e half•yearly dividend on the Imperial Turkish :1 u per Cent.

The at sphere at that time was so highly charged with the electric element that the telegrap hic wires whi ch pa s s through the air east of the Exchange became luminous in so high a de ;Fee as to dazzle the eyes of those who had their attention directed to them, .and, indeed, to produce a momentary blindness. The grasshopper was the crest of Sir Thomas Gresham t h e m unificent foun der of the first Exchange, and with'that fondness for associations and emblems which distinguished the period in which he lived the eminent merchant adopted his own cre st for the vane o f th e edifi ce w hi c h he erected and dedicated to the use of the citizens of London. By many it is believed that the p re _ ' sent gra sshoper is the sa me which adorned the spire of 'the original stricture ; but, if not, it ounted the is at all event s three the id e ntical emblem whic h has surm subsequent towers namely, that erected after the Fire of London ; that built by Mr. Smith in 1813 ; a nd n after the last fire it was preser ved and used again by whose professional fa me is especially associated with he present very el e g ant s p ire and tower. The archi tect, however, took the p recaution to introduce, in addl . tion to the vane, a most effective lightning conductor, which is understoo d to have been constructed under superintendence of Mr. Walker, the skilful electrician who has charge of the electric telegraph on the South-Bast lines. To this precaution, no doubt, the preservation of the tower from injury if not from destruction during the recent storm is due. The vane and shaft have since under gone a careful examination, and they remain apparently uninjured.

(Before the Recorder.) , Henry Messenger, James Bates, Richard Moss, and Thomas William Wickers were charged with stealing 22 sacks of oats, value £l4, the property of Thomas Young. There was a second count, charging them with receiving unlawfully. Mr. Metcalfe appeared to prosecute, Mr, Lilley appeared for Moss and Messenger, Mr. Orridge for Bates, and Mr. Sharp for Wickers. It appeared that Wickers was a large owner, and that the corn in question was found on his barges on the Thames, that two of the other defendants were assisting in navigating the craft at the time the stolen property was discovered, and the third prisoner was a watchman at the wharf from which the corn was taken away. There was a fifth party concerned named Tripp, who did not bear a very good oha racter, and who hag absconded. Against the watchman there was no evidence of guilt, it only proving neglect of duty against him. On behalf of Bates and Moss it was contended that they were simply employed to assist Wickers in navigating the barge, and on behalf of Wickers it was urged there was no evidence to connect him with the theft, and it was suggested that Fripp had placed the oats on board for some purpose of his own, and that Wickers having the previous day contracted to carry 20 bags of oats might have been reasonably misled. The learned Judge, having carefully summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of receiving against Wickers, and not guilty against the other prisoners. Wickers was then sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, and the others were discharged. This terminated the business of the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE KNIFE—RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE. — Peter Foulkes, a German baker, living at 19, Little White Lion-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with.assalit ing Mary Lee and cutting her across the eye with a knire: The complainant, whose eye was strapped up, said about two the previous afternoon she went into the Spencer Arms, Dudley-street, with a friend who was unwell, and while her friend was drinking some brandy, the prisoner twice thrust a dog he had in his arms in her face, breaking the glass. She (complainent) asked why he did it, when he directly rushed at her, and jobbed a knife at her eye, cutting 'it severely, and causing a great loss of blood. The pri soner then ran away, and she went to Charing•cross Hos pital, and there had her eye attended to. Jane Tranter, the person alluded to by the complainant, confirmed her statement, and said the prisoner ran away into a baker's shop. Before the,inspector, at the station, he swore he would " rip her inside open." Mr. Henry Hunt, of the Spencer Arms, Dudley-street, said the prisoner had not been in the house more than a minute when he flung the dog in the witness's face. The complainant asked why he did it, and the prisoner became infuriated, and struck the complainant in the eye, he could not say with a knife, but it was something sharp, and threatened to serve him (Mr. Runt) the same. There was no provocation given, and the prisoner had had nothing to drink in his house. Michael Brosnar, 309 E, said he thought the prisoner was mad at the time. He said he was a second Tom Sayers, the champion of England. • Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no proof of a knife being used, but that it was something sharp was clear. It was a brutal assault. He would order him to pay 40s. or six weeks' imprisonment. MILITARY PREPARATIONS OF PIEDMONT. The Midiary Gazette of Turin gives the follow ing details of the military preparations of Pied mont : " France has ceded at a reduced price 50,000 rifled muskets, and has consented to give a further quantity on like conditions, as also a number of cannon of large size, a quantity of gunpowder, and ammunition. The foundries of Sweden, Bel gium, and England, and the most renowned ma nufactories of arms in Europe, are working for the Government. The best foundries of Pied mont, among which are those of M.M. Ansaldo and Robertson, of San Pedro-d'Arena, have enor mous orders. Other similar establishments, espe cially in Lombardy, are preparing gun carriages and waggons; and all this is in addition to the activity displayed in the arsenals, in which the number of workmen is, so to speak, tripled. By this activity the artillery in the space of a very few months has been almost entirely supplied with ma terial on the new model. Three new sets of the apparatus for making bridges have been constructed ; the store-houses are full of ammunition; the infantry and cavalry arc well organised. The artillery has 48 active batteries, divided into eight regiments. Bologna has become a fortified place; Piacenza is defended by new works; and the fortresses of the second order have been put in a state of ' sufficient defence. At the same time, important reforms have been made in the administra tion ; new military circumscriptions have been formed, and the tribunals of the army have been reorganiied. All this has been dine in five months. The Ministry has besides given ener getic orders that all the military forges of the State shall be prepared to execute as quickly as possible the orders given to them, and even to make preparations for fulfilling others. In con sequence the laboratory for making ball cartridges has been enlarged, but for the present only 80,000 a-day can be made. The 'workshops of Parma, Modena, and Florence are executing im portant works, principally in making gun car riages for fortresses, which must be completed by November at the latest. The firm of Montu and Co. has undertaken to supply 10,000,000 percus sion caps. MM. Grondona, Miani, and Zambelli, of Milan, have already delivered 100 large gun carriages, and 100 others are to be supplied in three months. The'workshops of the railways are also actively employed for the Government. Orders have been given to send immediately to Turin all muskets on the old model in the arsenals, in order that they may be rifled as quickly as possible. Plans for new manufactories of arms at Lucca and Florence have been drawn up. The ironworks in the valley of Brescia are also employed in making military articles. The Minister of Marine, on his side, is about to send to Sweden, before the closing of the navigation of the Baltic, vessels to bring to Piedmont the guns cast there for the Government." TEE ATTEMPTED RESCUE FllOlll THE AGAPEMON E. The following account of the attempt made by be Rev. Mr. Price to rescue his wife from the Abode of Love," which we briefly reported in our mpressionof Wednesday last, is from Western Counties _Herald : " Thelatest seceder from the Agapemone, the Rey. Lewis Price, is determined nor to lose his wife and her fortune of £6,000 without a struggle, and in. that resolve he will assuredly be supported by public opinion. Having freed himself from the thraldom and delusions of Henry James Prince, the Welsh curate is using his best exertions to free his lady also. Mr. Price quitted the Abode of Love in the early part of this year, having been previously seperated from his wife by 'the Beloved's' directions some six weeks. In May last we recounted the fruitless efforts the husband had made to get possession of his spouse, and the fact that be fore a judge in chambers she had declared that she was not detained in the Chailinch residence against her inclination. Since that time Mr. Price seems to have quietly submitted .to his deprivation, but the decision of the Vice Chancellor in the case of Nottidge v. Prince' has aroused him once more to exertion. It is no secret now that Price was a man of no property when Harriet Lancaster Nottidge was informed by Prince it was the will of God' she should take the Welshman for her husband, and that the .0,000 he acquired by Ms marriage has been transferred to the imposter who asserts that he is the Holy Ghost. Any proceeding Mr. Price may take for the recovery of his wife's fortune must be materially affected by her evidence, and to the ordinary motive of affection for his lady there is thus added the desirability of obtaining her aid and testimony in favour of a suit against the man she now regards as her spiritual saviour. Former watchings outside the house and grounds, with a policeman within hail to prevent a breach of the peace. having proved unavailing, Mr. Price made a bold attempt to get possession of his wife on Fri. day Last, with the help of three stout men, not offi cers of the law. On the night preceding the adven ture he slept at the Lamb Inn, adjoining the insti tution of which he was formerly an inmate. Accord ing to arrangement his three assistants arrived at Charlinch from Bridgwater in a fly, between four and Eve o'clock in the morning, their mission being to protect him from the fury of the Agapemonites. He forthwith scaled the gates, entered the grounds, and secreted himself near the conservatory, which he was aware Mrs. Price was accustomed to visit, his backers remaining in the roadway ready to obey his call. Time wore on, and nothing particular transpired till about nine o'clock, when the watchers heard Mr. Price say several times, I will have you Harriett.' This exclamation was followed by a piercing shriek of ' murder,' uttered by a female voice, and the trio at once jumped ever the rails in front of the laundry, and over the second gate leadin g to the grounds of the Agapemone. Here they were met by twenty or thirty persons who stopped their further progress, insisted that they had no burin ess on those premises,' and in reply to their assertions that they had business there becauie they had heard some one crying Murder,' ordered them off, and compelled them to return back to the road. They saw Mr. Price and Mrs. Price down upon. the lawn, surrounded by some thirty or forty persons—men , women, and children. In a few minutes Mr. Price was forcibly ejected, and the four .nvaders had to come away crest-fallen, their enter- prise having failed. It appears that Mrs. Price was seen by her husband walking through the gar den cline ; he thereupon left his hiding place and desired her to leave with him ; she refused, and he seized her round the waist to carry her away. Then it was that she cried out ' Murder,' and threw her self upon the ground. As soon as the alarm was given the Agapemonites came out in full force with astonishing promptitude. Part of their _number rushed to the gate to keep out the three men, and the others crowded round the husband and wife struggling on the grass. Several men, it is said, thre , * themselves upon Mr. Price, and it is further alleged that the Rev. Mr. Starkey knelt upon his chest and forced him to release his lady. After she had. got from him he laid hold of her again, but was wrenched away, and turned out at the gate. Al though a strong and determined man, he was no match for thirty or forty opponents. The arch- Agapemonite, Prince himself, was not present at the melee. There can be little doubt that the dwel lers in the Abode of Love had got scent of what was about to take place. Information as to the waiting hoarse and fly, and the strange men sauntering abc nit was probably conveyed to them, and mea sure s at once taken to defeat the project evidently nn the point of being put in motion. Near half past. six in the morning a dozen or more labourers and haymakers left the Agapemone, apparently with the intention of pursuing their avocations in -the fields of the farm. An hour later one of the carriages with two horses attached quitted the Abode,' and its errand must have been to bring back the labourers by another route, for when the period for action arose all the labourers, who had been seen to leave, were in the grounds to drive out Mr. Pricy and his coadjutors. That the design, was discovered is also clear from the rapidity with which they mustered when Mrs. Price shrieked, for they were out before the three men in the road conld get half- a-dozen yards, and are described as having ' swarmed like bees in a second of time.' Mr. Price, though several times defeated, does not seem to be a man easily daunted. We wish him more success in his next essay. He is convinced that if he can release his wife from the influence of Prince, he can shake her belief in the delusions she now credits. If she be made of the saroe stuff as her deceased sister, Louisa Jane Not tidge, this will be a more difficult task than he imagines, for it will be remembered that the rela tives of that lady tried every means to disabuse her mind of the monstrous notion that Prince was God Almighty, and had eventually to place her in a lunatic asylum, for the two-fold purpose of dissi pating her mad belief in an imposto r, and kee p in g her out of his clutches. They were unsuccessful. Whether Mr. Price will be more fortunate remains to be proved. A more resolute attempt to release Mrs. Price from the Agapemone was to have been made on Monday night or Tuesday morning; but it was ascertained, after every arrangement had been made, and Mr. Price and his helpers were on their way to the scene of operations, that the lady had been removed from the Agapemone. Whither she had been taken remains at present a mystery." BRITISH MINES. Sharel Mines. Alfred Consols (Philack) 20 British Iron Clifford Devon G. Cons.

A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.—A tall man, about 27 or 28 years of age, and attired in a light grey suit of clothes, was brought before Mr. Selfe under the following circum- stances : Inspector Griffin, of the li'division, said that the prisoner was brought to the Stepney police• station, adjoining the court, at half-past one o'clock, charged with striking a gentleman over the hat in Jamaica-street, Commercial road. The gentleman, who was taller than the prisoner, believed his intention was to commit a robbery, but that he could not succeed, and was afraid to pursue his original intention, seeing that he (the gentleman) was the taller man. He was about to lock up the prisoner on the charge, when the gentleman said he was one of three clerks in a mercantile house, that two were away, and that it was quite impossible he could attend a police court to prosecute. He then discharged the prisoner, who was brought to the station house again at three o'clock for loitering about the Commercial-road, and was locked up. The prisoner refused to give his name and address on either occasion. A policeman—He said that his name was Can just before I brought.him here. The prisoner on being questioned by the magistrate re. fused to give his name and addre ss, or occupation, but after repeated questionings he said he came from Shoreditch. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner, and in a few minutes Roche, the gaoler, said the prisoner had admitted to him that he was destitute, that ho had knocked the gentleman's hat over his head for the purpose of being lucked up, and that he had been formerly in the employ of Barber and Son, wholesale tea merchants, in Thames-street. There was no doubt the prisoner was in great distress. The pri soner had sold his shirt two days ago to procure food, and was now hungry and destitute. He made an appecal to the Magistrate to assist the prisoner to procu re a - shirt and a breakfast. Mr. Selfe did not like to giv e p eo p le Who were charged with offences any money, but, under the circumstances, he would place ss. at the disposal of Roche to lay out as he thought proper for the benefit of the unfortunate man. L IT.ERATU.RE. M a nufactures, and Ure's Dictionary of Ar ts, Mines. The publication of this valuable compilation of useful information has arrived at the interesting subject of mines, under which head the various modes of conducting operations in different loca lities are given. M. Triger, engineer in the department of Maine and Loire, had the idea of making a well is the very bed of the Loire by means of compressed air. A eYlinder of thin iron served as a cutting machine, was soul[ into the alluvium ; it was separated into three compartments by horinontal partitions. The upper compartment remained always open, the lower compartment was the 'workshop, and be tween them was the middle one, w hich served as the chamber of equilibrium, designed to b. Put in communica tion with either the compartment above or the one below. The things being so disposed, they ford into the bottom compartment air compressed by a vapou r machine without i n t e rmission. This air drove the water - .11 the ex p a tube of of which the lower part was buried in the b ottom and of which the upper par t was raised of above the cylinder. The workmen were then able to penetrate the first apart ment and open the second, w hic h was afte r wards hermeti cally closed, and in which the air of o rdinary pressure was put in communication with the compress e d a i r in th e third. Having arrived in the third compartment they excavate the sands, and cause the machine to descend. As they accu mulate the sands excavated in the middle compartment, they have only to remov e them by shutting theomca tion with the bottom and opening that of the top. A pres sure sufficient to balance the exterior water s was maintained during the work, without sensibly incobi mo di ng the work men. This ingenious proceeding has si nce received numer ous applications. It is evident that wells dug in the water saturated earths must immediately be eased, that is to say, covered with a casing of wood, solid and impermeable, which is able to resist the infi l tration and pressure of the waters at the same time. A plan similar to this was employed by Mr. Brunel in the construction of one of the piers in the bed of the River Tamar, for the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash, Trus DAYS SHIPPING.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Caithness Roads (No. 2) Bill was read a third time and passed. CRIMINAL PRACTICE. The LORD CHANCELLOR called the attention of the house to the bill to enable counsel for prisoners in criminal trials to have a reply. He felt sure that the house would object to the presiding judge having a discretionary power of granting a reply, as it would have the effect of multiplying speeches of dounsel to a needless extent. SAVINGS BANK AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES INVESTMENTS BILL. Lord REDESDALE referred to the motion of the noble earl the President of the Council, of moving a suspension of the sessional order, in favour of this bill in order that it might be read a second time. After a full consideration he had come to the deter mination of not opposing the motion, at the same time he should defer whatever objection he had to the bill until it was under discussion, After a few words from the Earl of DoNoucinmonu and the Earl of MILMESBURY, Earl GRANVILLE defended the course taken by the Government with respect to this bill. He did not think that any of the charges of the noble lord on the cross benches (Monteagle) was at all deserved by the Government. The resolution fixing the time after which the house would not take the second reading of a bill unless it was one of urgency, was, he thought, very objectionable, if it was too severely pressed, and even if it were so the time fixed this session was far too early, having regard to the prorogation of Parliament. It had been suggested that a longer notice of the intentions of the Government with respect to this bill should . have been given, but the fullest possible notice had been given, having regard to the arrangements of the Government, and if he had 'proposed to delay the consideration of the matter, they could have been accused of waiting till a number of peers had left the house. He should not, however, after the representation that had been made, object to the post poning the consideration of the bill till Monday next. Lord MONTEAGLE defended himself from the re marks of the noble earl, and said the result of the division of Monday was as great a surprise to him as to any other member of their lordships' house. He denied that he '.had ever imputed to the noble lord personally a wish to take the house by surprise, and neither did he ac cuse him of doing anything unworthy of the high position he filled in that house. The Duke of ARGYLL wished to say a few words before the subject dropped. He did not say, when he made a few observations on this bill the other evening, that it Was technically one of aid and supply, but he did say it was a money bill, and if altered in their lordships' house it would raise a question of privilege with the other house. He hoped that any bill of that description would receive the attention of their lordships at whatever time it came up from the Commons. The subject then dropped. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tans DAY.) The SPEALER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Galway Harbour Bill were considered and agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. The house went into committee of ways and means. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the following resolutions : " 1. That, towards making good the supply granted to her Majesty, the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury be authorised to raise any sum of money, not exceeding £2,000,000 sterling, by the issue of Exchequer Bonds or Exchequer Bills. " 2. That the principal of all Exchequer Bonds, which may be so issued, shall be paid off, at par, at the expiration of any period not exceeding six years from the date of such Bonds. " 3. That the interest of such Exchequer Bonds shall be payable half-yearly, and shall be charged upon and issued out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom, or the growing produce thereof." He considered it right to make a few observations in re spect to these resolutions, as they contained a demand for a larger amount of money than he stated in the early part of the session would be required for the public service. So far as regarded the £1,000,000, that sum was required to re place the same amount of Exchequer Bonds in the hands of the Commissioners of the National Debt, which would expire in November next. It was now considered advisable to ask for powers to raise a sum not exceeding £2,000,000. This arose from the state of the country, and in the case of the harvest being unfavourable, the high prices of animal food continuing, and a deficiency in employment, which circumstances would naturally affect the funds at the disposal of Govern ment. Besides there were military operations to be main tained. It might not be necessary to use these powers, and they were merely asked as a precautionary provision. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said he had always objected to the principle of Exchequer Bonds, and his opinion was un altered. The right hon. gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had said that the increase was required from the state of the country, but he had, in his opinion, really let fall the true cause, namely, the military operations that were being carried on in China. He (Sir H. Wil loughby) stated previously that he thought the war with China would cost this country £7,000,000. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the expenditure of the Go vernment was enormous, and he hoped they would en deavour to reduce it. Mr. HENLEY complained that sufficient notice had not been given of the intention of the Government with regard to the increased demand. After some further discussion, the resolutions were agreed The house then resumed. THE IMPROVEMENTS IN WESTMINSTER. In reply to Sir J. SHELLEY, Mr. COWPER said that, in the proposed improvements, it was not likely the south side of Bridge-street would be pulled down for two years. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH. In reply to some questions, Mr. LAING said that, from information received, he was sorry to say that the Red Sea telegraph had broken in several places, and that there was a convention with Aus tria for the construction of a telegraph from Broussa .to Alexandria. Attempts were being made to reconstruct the Red Sea telegraph. 54 51 107 109 117 118 1174 1181 [35 137 [l2 114 714 72 60 65 106! 68 70 [O9 111 47 49 ,011 1.02 k 12i 121 92 93 10 11 42f 431 3 2d [24i 125 97 100 7 60 55 57 3 3} d 72 lf 2 1, 108/ / 69 1104 102 1/ 2 124 1 92/ / 2 48} 21 ; 124 f I I I 65 4I 971 7 d iOf I_ l 44i' 89 1 . 9 I ro TALE. Business Done. Business Done. 2.11.10 1 16 2.14.6 7.4.0 SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. On the vote of £10,750 for the suppression of the slave trade, Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR moved that this vote be re duced £1,300, the amount of the judge arbitrator and registrar at Savannah. Some discussion ensued, but the amendment was with drawn, and the vote was agreed to. On the vote of £158,229 to complete the sum of £262,229 for consular establishments, Mr. WILLIAMS took exception to some of the items as being most unnecessary. For in stance, there was £l,OOO a year paid to the con sul at St. Petersburgh, although there was no trade between this country and that city. £350 was paid the consul at Frankfort, with which this country had no traffic, and where there was a very large ambassa dorial establishment which had very little to do. They had also a consul at Brest, with which also they had no trade. He would not move any amendment, but content himself with drawing the attention of the house to the subject. Mr LAING contended that the Government, in regard to consular appointments, had acted with judgment and economy. The Government adopted the principle laid down by the select committee on this subject, but they did not push that principle too far by incurring the expendi ture that carrying it out fully would have involved. The vote was agreed to. On the vote of £23,320 for the establishments in China, Japan, and Siam, Mr. WHITE called attention to the expenses for consul ships at Yungchow, Chinsiang, and Swatow. The consuls in those places were to have been appointed on the ratifica tion of the treaty of Tien-tsin, but that treaty had not yet been ratified. He believed at Swatow they were content to have a consul sent there, but in the other places they could not have consulships until the result of the Chinese war became known. Had Lord Elgin done what he was urged to do by every one practically acquainted with China, the war never would have been rendered necessary. The East India and Chinese Asso ciation impressed on Lord Elgin the necessity of staying at China until he had finished the work for which he went out. Had he followed that advice an immense expenditure of money and loss of life would have been spared. If that distinguished admiral, now a member of this house (Sir M. Seymour), had the prestige of aristocratic rank, power might have been conferred on him to arrange affairs in China, and, from the sagacity and justice he had pre viously exhibited, he would in all probability have been successful. Mr. LAING said that it could not be expected that he would on the present occasion enter into the question of general policy which had been raised. The estimate was prepared on the supposition that the treaty would come into operation, and the occurrences which had taken place were totally unexpected. At any moment an announce ment might arrive to the effect that the treaty had been ratified, and the'refore it was necessary that this estimate should be provided. Mr. AYRTON said he was very muck disposed to con cur in the admirable observations of the right hon. member for Brighton (Mr. White). He wished to know what ar rangements had been made as to the expenditure of tke envoys who were actually in China at present. Dir. WILLIAMS said that if Mr, Bruce was the who was now receiving a salary of £B,OOO, he thought as a matter of mere common justice that that sum ought to be rejected. To call Mr. Bruce's conduct a blunder and in solence, would be vary faintly characterising it. Sir G. C. LEWIS vindicated the conduct of Lord Elgin and Mr. Bruce. There was no ground whatever for any censure on Lord Elgin for his return, and Mr. Bruce acted according to the spirit if not the letter of his instru'tions. After some further discussion, Mr. AYRTON moved that the salary of Mr. Bruce should be reduced £4,000. The house divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment 32 Against Majority The vote was then agreed to. Several small votes were agreed to, and the house sus pended sitting at four o'clock. . -4 The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTINQ.I LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS EVENING). • • FOREIGN-OFFICE, AV G 15.
