MS ) II _MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK, More activity has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Sugars have been at slightly improved prices, while tea, coffee, and cocoa have been fairly dealt in at late quotations. In rice the transactions have been limited, and prices have undergone no material variation. The dealings in saltpetre have been to a fair extent, and prices have given way. In tal low a steady business has been transacted for both present and forward delivery, and, owing to the limited stock on hand, quotations have undergone an advance. Rather more activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were tolerably well supported. The sales were Estimated at 8,000 bales, The demand for money is well supported, but hills can be negotiated ou previous rates. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The bar :silver by the last West India steamer has been sold at ss. ltd. per oz, standard. The steamer Ripon, which leaves to-morrow for India and ChiLa, will take out £10,216 in gold and £375,404 in silver, making a total of £385,620, of which the Government remit £98,562 to Hong Yong. The New South Wales Government have given notice that debentures, amov.nting to £185,060, will fall due within the current year, and will be pay able at the Oriental Bank 'Corporation ; after which no further interest will accrue on the said deben tures. Notice has been given that the interest on Spanish 3 per Cent. Consolidated, ditto Deferred Bonds, and New South Wales Government Deben tures will be paid on and after the Ist proximo. There has not been much animation to-day in the market for public securities, and the variation in prices has also been limited.

The cold bath is'certainly better understood in England than anywhere else. But it may reasonably be doubted whether the warm bath has been studied with equal success. Our notion of warm baths includes merely , a great deal of hot water, or hot vapour, and a cer tain proportion of soap, or medicinal tincture, ac cording to the purposes of the bath, This was not the hot bath of the ancients : this is not the hot bath of the orientals. They employed a far more ingenious and a far more effective combination of hot air, hot vapour, hot water, and skilful frictions. Such were the baths which Hippocrates, Galen, and Celsus prescribed : such were the baths of which Homer sings the praises in the " Odyssey," and which Herodotus says that even the Scythians used in the Trojan War. These were the baths of which Justin records that the Romans taight the art to the Spaniards as early as the Second Punic War ; and of which Julius Caesar brought the secret even to these islands. Of the stately erections consecrated to the service of the bathers remains are yet widely extant—monuments of luxury and splendour. The art has long fallen into abeyance in the west, but has survived in the east. Its restoration has been amongst the consequences of our Crimean War. The luxuries of the Turkish bath were then so widely felt that the attempt to introduce it into Great Britain has met with a deserved success. The credit of this revival is greatly due to Dr. Haughton, who has energetically pressed on the construction of such baths in Ireland, where they have been in use now some time, and are effecting a revolution in bathing, which has only recently ex tended to London. In these Turkish baths, soap andwater are purely secondary agents ; they are considered as barbarous, clumsy, and effete means of cleansing. The bather is first conducted into a room, which is practically a large oven, lighted from the top , and filled with moist air. This is very far, however, from being a vapour bath ; the quantity of watery vapour is small, and does not affect the transpiration of water by the skin. Of course a profuse sweating is induced, and the skin is thoroughly softened. It is a hot bath without water, or rather with the aid of very little water. From this chamber he passes to another, the ealidarium, where, freely perspiring, he is rubb ed with towels or goat' s -hair gloves; and so great is the effect of th e p r i or t rea t men t that the softened outside rolls off in thick flakes, and a new skin is found beneath of which the subject of the operation little dreamed. No one who takes a Turkish bath for the first time but must be astonished at the quan tity of unnecessary cuti c l e w hi c h h e carr i es a b ou t w ith him. Adepts tell y ou that "it requires great dexterity to perform this well without rubbing some places too much and others too little." Now comes a drenching with warm water and soap, which is not the most agreeable part of the bath , and may bo considered partially unnecessary. Then the bather passes back to. the tepidariu m , w h ere h o i s dr i ed a nd clothed in warm towel s; and, after a p ause , thence to the frigidarium, or cool chamber, where, s till clothed in warm towels, he sips coffee, smokes a narg hilet, and indulges in beatific sensations which only those can know who have passed through the three purgatories of the bath. The Turkish bath i s an agent of such great power in restoring the acti ve functions of the skin, and the results of its ap. plication are so peculiarly agreeable and invigorat ing, that it will probably excite the attention of medical practitioners in its relations to disease. It is a powerful agent, of which the virtues are appa rent ; but incautiously employed by persons liable to congestion of the head or organs of the chest, it is not free from dangers, as some unfortunate cir cumstances have already proved.—The Lancet.

HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford ; Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingston, and other Peers.) ROWBOTHAM AND OTHERS V. WILSON. This is an appeal by way of writ of error, by which it is sought to set aside a decision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber, affirming a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, delivered on a special case stated for their opinion in favour of the defendant. The action was brought by Daniel Row- E•etham, having a reversion in fee of certain lands situated in the parish of Bedworth, in the county of Warwick, to recover from the defendant, William Wilson, damages in respect of injury done to his houses and lands, by reason of the defendant having worked his mines underneath his property without leaving sufficient supports. The special case stated that the plaintiff was reversioner in fee of houses erected after an award was made by the Commissioner enclosing the lands for more than twenty years before the grievance complained of, and also of the surface of the land. And that the defendant after wards worked the coal mine underneath without having supports. The defendant stated that he worked the mine with skill and care, according to the usage of the cointry. The plaintiff stated that his property was destroyed there by, that his houses were rendered uninhabitable, and the lands unfit for cultivation. That no natural or artificial pillars were left for support, in terms of the Act 9, Geo. 3. The defendant contended that the right of the plaintiff to support of his surface was qualified, and subject to the right of the defendant to work his mines, and the plaintiff having derived his title from tke award, was bound by the cove • nants in it, and that a right to have the surface supported would be destructive of the grant of the mine. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decisions of the Exche quer Chamber and Court of Queen's Bench, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The other noble and learned lords concurred. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Lord Chief Justice Erle.) CATTAWAY AND WIFE V. SMITH.-THE PROCTORS OF CAMBRIDGE AND THEIR POWERS. This ease was resumed this morning by Mr. O'Malley, on the part of the defendant. From the opening speech of Mr. Edwin James, it ap apeared that Mrs. Cattaway was the wife of a fireman on the Eastern Counties Railway, living at Cambridge, and the defendant was a proctor in the university in that town. in another case which was now down for trial before his lordship a very serious question would arise as to the power of the proctors to imprison women found in the ' streets of the town, but in the present case the defendant did not justify his act, and therefore the only question here would be whether he had done what was complained of. He should prove that it was under the defendant's orders that she was arrested and imprisoned, that she was under his control whilst in prison, and that it was by his eider that she was discharged. If he proved this the simple question would be the amount of damages. On the 2Sth March last, in the evening, Mrs. Cattaway was speaking to two females for whom she washed, and they were standing in St. Andrew-street, when the proctor came up, accompanied by two persons who wet° denominated " bull dogs " (laughter)—and it was not a bad name for them, for their doings caused constant scenes of violence in the town, and the whole three were taken to the spinning -house. This spinning -house was a kind of private prison, containing cells, and belonging to the University of Cambridge. The proc tors claimed the right to go up to any woman in the town and say, " I suspect you of being an improper character," and order her to the spinning -house, where, without any evidence on oath, the Vice Chancellor sentenced unhappy women to a fortnight, a month, or even two months' con finewent. In the present case Mrs. Cattaway was only detained about half an hour, but this confinement had seriously affected her character, for a large number of per sons were assembled round the spinning -house when she was discharged, and she remained up to this time with the stigma upon her of having been imprisoned as a woman of the town. The hardship of the case, too, was, that when she was taken up she had done nothing that could give offence to any human being. At the conclusion of the evidence for the defendant, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £5O. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. ;Sittings in Error, before Justices Wightman, Williams, Crompton, Willes, Byles, Blackburn, and Keating.) DARELL, BART., V. STURGIS, PROVISIONAL ASSIGNEE. This case raised a question upon the Statute of Limita- tions as regarded specialties. A bond was dated in 1821; payment became due in 1822. An action was commenced in 1831, which was held over for compromise until 1835, when the obligor died. In 1352 the obligee became insolvent, and Sturgis was appointed provisional assignee. In 1857 letters of administration were granted to the defen • dant below, and in 1853 the present action was brought. The question was, whether the action was not barred by the statute of 3 and 4 "William IV., c. 32. The case now came before this Court on error on the judgment of the Ex. Judgment affirmed. THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY V. GLADSTONE. This case cane before this Court upon a bill of excep- tions to the ruling of a judge. The action was one of eject ment, brought by the plaintiff to recover a copyhold tene ment in the manor of West Derby. The case was tried at Liverpool. The plaintiff proved that he was lard of the manor of West Derby, and had been so since 1824. The defendant was admitted tenant of the manor to a copyhold tenement in 1828, and it was alleged that he had broken the surface and had dug clay for the purpose of making the soil into bricks which were sold off the manor, and it was al leged that this operated as a forfeiture. The defendant relied upon immemorial usage as being sufficient to prove a custom, and the judge upon the trial directed the jury that if the custom was proved in fact it was good in law, and to this ruling there was a bill of exceptions, and the question now was, whether an alleged custom for the copyhold tenants of a manor to take the surface —to take the clay—to make it into bricks, and to carry them off the manor, and sell them for purposes not connected with the manor, was good and valid in law. Judgment affirmed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. DOUBTFUL s B. — Catherine Jones, a smart-looking young woman, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a gold watch of the value of £lO from the person of James Twiddy, valet, 145, Piccadilly. The prosecutor said he met tho prisoner on the ntorning of Wednesday last, and while walking with her suddenly felt a tug at his watch, and on turning round his watch was gone and tho prisoner too. There were others near at the time. The prisoner said the prosecutor had taken her for some one else. It was not her. The prosncutor said he was confident it was the prisoner, an d be gave a description at Vine -street. Brown, 304 A, said the prisoner agreed with the descrip t ion, upon which Mr. Beadon said ho would remand her for a week. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—John Mattos, a tall, powerful look ing mulatto, who described himself as an interpreter, and who has frequently been at this court charged with assaults, was again charged with an assault on a female, named Murphy, who sells fruit. The prisoner, imagining that the female had caused a coffee-shop door to be closed against him, struck her two or three severe blows with his clenched fist, knocking her down, and while on the ground kicked her several times. Mr. Beadon, having commented in severe terms on the prisoner's brutality, committed him for three months, tell ing the prosecutrix, who appealed for further protection, that she should have any she might require.

THE BLIND MARINER—DISTRESSING} CASE.- Mr. Thomas Bellshaw, surgeon's-assistant, of No. 2, St. Paul's te:race, South-grove, Mile-end, led into court a poor blind man, named John Browning, aged 22, who has been in the East India Company's service as a seaman in the Naval Brigade, and has totally lost his sight. He came home from India on the Gth of April last, went into the Opthal mic Hospital, Moorfields, and was discharged as incurable. `While in the hospital he met with a fellow-patient, Mr. Bellshaw, who, fortunately for himself, has been discharged improved, and who, out of compassion, has taken charge of Browning for the last fortnight. /gr. Bellshaw said the poor man was quite destitute, and he wished to get him into some institution for the blind, where he might learn a trade and obtain the means of supporting himself. Mr. Selfe said this was a case really deserving the atten tion of the benevolent, and, with that kindness and humanity which has distinguished his career as a magis trate ever since his appointmeat, said ho would use his in fluence and interest himself as zealously as possible to cb taintheadmission of the poor blind man into the asylum for the blind in the New-road, St. Pancras. In reply to questions by the magistrate, Browning, who i s a fi n e young fellow, said he was utterly destitute, and all he had to receive was £3 from the East India Company. Mr. Selfe immediately wrote a letter to the committee of the institution in the New Road, and requested Browning to wait upon him again next Saturday for an answer. He should be much obliged if the reporters would notice this case in the journals, for it appeared to be a deserving one. He deeply lamented the affliction that had befallen Brown ing, and said he hoped to communicate something favour able when he saw the blind man again. Browning was then led out of court by his kind-hearted friend, wb.o . said he would take care of him until Saturday. CRICKET.—ENGLAND .v. AUSTRALIA. --The All England Eleven are not coming out to this colony. George Parr positively declines to risk another sea voyage after the American expedition, and Wisden shares in his companion's fears. Two Cambridge gentlemen express their willingness to come, if they are allowed £3OO cash down, in addition to their expenses. But this, we fear, would make it rather too expensive a cricket match to be readily undertaken,—Mel bourne Herald. CITY BETTING-(YESTERDAY). The Racing Times says :—Notwithstanding the severe week the bookmakers experienced at Hampton, there was a very showy muster both at the City clubs and the West end places of meeting, not even excepting the park. Business was somewhat brisk, and the backers of horses really seemed to have gained courage by their late suc cesses, and were both willing and anxious to renew their speculations on forthcoming events with spirit. We heard of several members of both clubs who had been considerable losers, when the limited amount; of sport that the "Hurst" produced is remembered. Several changes in the prices of the different animals engaged in coming struggles, more particularly in the larger and earlier events to be decided, were manifest. The Stockbridge Meeting engrossed considerable attention, the Stewards' Plate being the principal betting race, to gether with the Amport Stakes. Mouravieff was decidedly first favourite for the Stewards' Plate, as little as 4 to 1 being taken. Rupee and Northern Light were each sup ported at 8 to 1. Seclusion, Cheesecake, and Gridiron were backed for a little at 10 to 1 each. For the Amport Stakes, John Day's two, Ariadne and Blue Ruin, were decidedly the leading favourites, 5 to 1 being taken about each. Donizetti, Underhand, and Forager were supported at 10 to 1 each. The Northumberland Plate : 5 to 1 could have been ob tained about anything. Ben Webster was not in such force as he has been, but on the other hand Butterfly was evidently the selected, about whom 7 to 1 would have been taken to money, but the longest offer was 6 to 1. Gladiolus, her stable companion, declined in price as the other improved in the market. Edmund Kean, although supported on Saturday at as little as 8 to 1, was to-day, at the opening of the rooms, at 100 to 6, but before the break up of the members 12 to 1 was the highest offer. For the Leger Thormanby would have been backed at 3 to 1, but it was nct obtainable; 7 to 2 was offered against the Wizard, and Buccaneer was quietly backed at 100 to 6, and will, we doubt not, see a much shorter price than that. That there was great spirit shown in the support some horses received, the prices at which they left off will show, which were as follows : STOCKTON STEWARDS' PLATE. 4to 1 agst Mouravieff 8 to 1 agst Rupee Bto 1 agst Northern Light 10 to 1 agst Seclusion 10 to 1 agst Cheesecake 10 to 1 agst Gridiron ANIPORT STARES. sto 1 agst Ariadne sto 1 agst Blue Ruin Bto 1 agst Donizetti 10 to 1 agst Underhand 10 to 1 agst Forager NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE. sto 1 agst Ben Webster 7to 1 agst Butterfly (taken freely) 10 to 1 agst Wildman 10 to 1 agst Gladiolus 10 to 1 agst Edmund Kean 12 to 1 agst Baron Parke 15 to 1 agst Bivouac 15 to 1 agst Underhand 20 to 1 agst Volunteer ST.

(Prom a Correspondent of the Times.) ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 2. M. do Lesseps' proceedings since his arrival here by last mail are somewhat shrouded in mystery, and nothing more is known than that immediately on his arrival at Alexandria he started off to see the Viceroy, from whom he has met with a most flattering reception, and that he declares the works in the Isthmus are to be pushed ou more actively than ever. What this may amount to remains to be seen, as also whether the Turkish Government is not labouring under too heavy a pressure, in respect to other matters of more vital importance, to exercise its admitted rights in conformity with what is well known to be the view it takes of its interests in the question. This much, however, the report of the meeting of shareholders at Paris on the 15th ult. has placed beyond all doubt—namely, that what ever further sums may be spent in the Isthmus of Suez Desert, it is this unfortunate country which will have to bear the heaviest part of the burden. We are informed that a balance of account exists against Said Pasha amounting to 15,248,000 f. M. de Lesseps, moreover, tells us th a t thi s account i s already credited with disbursements made by the Viceroy to the extent of 2,395,000 f., the whole being passed against the call for the first two-tenths of the amount of shares which his Highness has been induced to take on his own account. It fol lows, therefore, that nearly one-half the capital of the company will have to be furnished by the Egyptian Treasury, the embarrassed state of which you are already well acquainted with. In other words, the sum which it is proposed to divert from legitimate and much-needed purr cies of internal improvements amounts to no less than £3,500,000 sterling. It is needless to inquire the means of persuasion that have been used with Said Pasha to induce him to enter into these heavy liabilities ; but M. de Lesseps' report, taken as it is, is an explicit avowal that already, as a financial undertaking, the scheme has utterly failed ; that in France, according to his own statements, he has been able to obtain sub scribers for little more than half the capital ; that in no other country, in spite of all efforts, has he been able to induce capitalists to join; and that it is only by having recourse to the Egyptian Viceroy , that the scheme has been preserved from spontane ously falling to pieces. M. de Lesseps compliments his shareholders on their intelligence in having been able to discern the immense material advantage they are to derive from their participation in the scheme; and well he may, for it is shown that no capitalists of any other nation in the world possess that amount of in telligence, and that even in France it is by no means universal. Certain " grave difficulties" stated to have been raised towards the beginning of last year by adver saries of the scheme claim a passing notice, but are otherwise very lightly touched upon. This can only have reference to the fact that the sentiments of the Egyptian Government in regard to the duties it owes towards the Porte were at that time very different from what they would now appear to be. Last year the Egyptian Government protested against any attempt to execute the works without the consent of the Porte, which it was de clared had from the beginning been established as an indispensable condition to the ex( cution of active operations, and in a circular despatch addressed to the European diplomatic agents in the month of June, a translation of which appeared in the columns of the _limes, after repeating the above the Viceroy expressed " his determination to oppose the opera tions that had then been commenced on the terri tory of the Isthmus," and called upon the Consuls " to require those of their subjects whom it might concern forthwith to cease in their participation, in order that the Egyptian Government might not be placed in a situation which would compel it to have recourse to measures that might be ren dered necessary for insuring the exercise of its rights." The process of reasoning by means of which so complete a reversal is now made in the ideas of the Sultan's rights in the matter must be left to the appreciation of M. Lesseps' readers ; but, what ever distinction he may make between the expres - sions " le percement del hthme" and " le creusement" of what is called "le canal de l'union des deux mers," it happens unfortunately for his arguments that the precise words made use of by Said Pasha in the letter to M. Lesseps which accompanied the firman of concession were that the works " relatifs au pet . cement d sthme" could only be executed upon receiving the authority of the Sublime Porte. M. Lesseps contrasts the course which he states was pursued by the British Government agents with the ingeniousness (les habitudes loyales) of French diplomacy. His assurances of the exist ence of such habits of upright singleinindedness will be doubly pleasant to dwell upon after having seen how easily a line of argument may be adopted to prove that what is meant is exactly the reverse of what is said. The Egyptain Viceroy, it appears, is now in volved under a positive engagement to sink a large sum in the scheme ; but this is not all, for there is the strongest reason to believe that when the ex penditure of money comes to an end, either through the interposition of the Porte, or with any pretext that may be adopted to save the bubble from burst ing, a strong, and perhaps successful, attempt will be made to render the Egyptian Government re sponsible for what has been done, and to cast the whole weight of losses upon this country,:probably also with claims for indemnity. In making the foregoing remarks my chief aim has been to endeavour to point out. the perilous nature, politically speaking, of the position in which the Egyptian Government is placing itself, and the fresh difficulties that are being added to an already embarrassed state of finances. These are matters which the British public can not afford to look upon with feelings of unconcern, though without the slightest wish to interfere, whether by word or deed, with the investments into which either French or any other speculators might wish to enter with their own private funds. The office of Chaplain to the British Protestant Church at Alexandria has been Tendered vacant by the death of the Rev. E Winder. A meeting of the British residents has accordingly been held for the purpose of agreeing upon a petition to the Foreign-office for the appointment of a successor. The minimum amount of contributions from the congregation towards payment of the clergyman's stipend has been guaranteed at £250 per annum, and as under the Act of Parliament the Govern ment furnishes an equal sum, the guaranteed annual salary is £5OO a year, besides the proceeds of pew-rents. In alluding to this subject, I cannot forbear men tioning the sorrow that has been caused by the loss sustained through the death of Mr. Winder, more especially so as in giving expression to the feelings of deep respect which he had earned through his unobtrusive piety and virtues I am merely echoing the universal estimate held of his character by all who knew him, whether it were within or without the immediate circle of his flock. It is not least to his high praise that after a ministry of nearly 20 years, he has left his congregations undivided by party spirit or dissensions of any kind, a thing of which there are, unfortunately, but few examples among other communities situated similarly to that of Alexandria. Since writing the preceding I learn that M. Lesseps has received from Said Pasha a concession for 99 years of Lake Menzalah, against an annual rent somewhat above that at which the fisheries in the lake had hitherto been farmed by the Govern ment. THE AMERICAN SENATE. .4.- Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, who was so bru tally struck down in the Senate four years ago by Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, has just made his first speech since the oration that caused the former assault. The length renders it impossible for us to give more than an extract, but the following may be taken as a specimen of the whole : " Look at it in the light of principle, and it is nothing less than a huge insurrection against the internal law of God, involving in its pretensions the denial of all human rights, and also the denial of the Divine law, in which God himself is manifest, thus being practically the grossest lie and the grossest Atheism. Founded in violence, sus tained only by violence, such a wrong must by a sure law of compensation blast the master as well as the slave ; blast the lands onwhich they live; blast the community of which they are a part ; blast the Government which does not forbid the outrage; and the longer it exists and the more completely it prevails must its blasting influences penetrate the whole social system. Barbarous in origin ; barbarous in its law ; barbarous in all its pretensions ; barbarous in the instru ments it employs; barbarous in consequences; barbarous in spirit; barbarous wherever it shows itself, slavery must breed barbarians,while it develops e verywh Iv, alike in the individual and in the society of which he forms a part, the essential elements of barbarism. In this character it is now conspicuous before the world. In undertaking now to ex pose the barbarism of slavery the whole broad field is open before me. There is nothing in its character, its manifold wrongs, its wretched results, and especially in its influence on the class who claim to be ennobled' by it, that will not fall naturally under consideration. Slavery is a bloody touch-me-not, and everywhere in sight now blooms the bloody flower. It is on the wayside as we approach the national capitol ; it is on the marble steps which we m oun t it flaunts on this floor.llstrpedak n, are its mostowinthe housseenosiftiivtes friends.

Idolatry has been often exposed in the presence of idolators, and hypocrisy has been chastised in the presence of Scribes and Plunisees," IMPERIAL PARLIAMEIr HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tars DAY.) The SPSAKER took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock. PRIVATE - BUSINESS. The West Cork Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. The Auchterarder Common Muir Bill (Lords), Portadown, Duugannom, and Omagh Junction Bill (Lords'), and Syuiiugton, Biggar, and Broughton Railway Bill (Lords') were considered and ordered for third readir•g. The Forest of Dean Railway Bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions weie presented against the Highways Bill, against the alleged aggression on the rights of the Ilou,:e of Commons by the rejeLtion of the Bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duties by the House of Lords, and praying the house to preserve its privileges intact; from females, against the Aggravated Assaults Bill, &c., TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND (IRE LAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 10. Lord NAAS moved an amendment to the effect that the Landed Estates Court should be substituted for the chair man of the Quarter Sessions as a tribunal for apoeals fu differences arising respecting improvements proposed to be made by landlords having a limited in: erect in their estates. The noble lord contended that the duties of the chairman of Quarter Sessions were already too onerous, and they could not consequently discharge efficiently the jurisdiction which this bill endeavoured to impose on them. He believed the adoption of his amendment would afford considerable satis faction to the landlords in Ireland. Colonel FRENCH opposed the amendment, on the ground that the Chairman of Quarter Sessions enjoyed the confidence of the country, and there would be a large and unnecessary expense in conveying witnesses to Dublin in curred if the proposed substitution were adopted. He denied that the Landed Estates Commission had given satisfaction in dealing with a large number of estates, though he admitted that there had been au improvement in that Court lately. Mr. BRADY congratulated the house on the temperate tone of members in reference to this question, and trusted that nothing would arise to delay its settlement. He thought it would be unjust to compel a landed proprietor to go to Dublin and remain there for days, besides incur ring the expense of bringing witnesses to prove his title. He believed the adoption of the amendment would entirely paralyse the operation of the bill. Mr. MOORE O'FERRA.LL supported the amendment, as he considered that although there were some able law yers amongst the thirty assistant-barristers in Ireland, there were others who were not, and he certainly preferred the Landed Estates Commission as a tribunal of appeal. Mr. DAWSON opposed the amendment. Mr. H. HERBERT followed on the same side, as he considered that a lawyer: of ordinary capacity would be competent to decide any question brought before him under the jurisdiction conferred by this bill. Mr. GEORGE supported the amendment, and expressed his pleasure at the manner in which the bill had been dis cussed by both sides of the house, and the general desire exhibited on the part of honourable members to pass this measure. He approved of the reasons which induced the framers of the bill to select the chair man of Quarter Sessions in preference to Landed Estates Commission—in the first place, the former was a local tribunal, cheap, expeditious, easily accessible, and capable of being appealed to on every occasion. This bill dealt with small as well as large estates, and the proprie tors of the former would be deterred by the expense from availing himself of an appeal to the Landed Estates Court. Powers similar to those proposed to be given to the chair man of Quarter Sessions had been conferred on Sheriffs' Courts in Scotland, an analogous tribunal, and the result had been very satisfactory. A chairman of Quarter Ses sions would be quite able to decide on any question arising out of this new jurisdiction, and he would also have the advantage of being able to inspect all property personally. Mr. HA.SSARD referred to the amendment he had placed on the paper, aad contended that the Board of Works would be the proper tritunal of apped. Alter some discussion, Mr. CARDWELL said that the bill was framed most carefully, and he believed that its operation would prove as beneficial in Ireland as the Enclosure of Land Act had done I in this country. He did not conider that, whichever tribunal was decided on, much expense would be incurred by suitors, and as the majority of speakers seemed in favour of the se lection of the Landed Estates Commission, he would make that concession, though he was in favour of the chairman of Quarter Sessions.

Schettema, a " lackey in the service of Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, who was found suspended to a laurel tree on Monday morning last, under circumstances wnich will be found narrated in the following evidence :—The first witness called was Andreas Klein, who said he was a courier, in the service of the Prince of the Netherlands, who had been staying in Torquay with his suite. Deceased had been in the service of the Prince for fifteen years as " lackey." The Prince and his suite left Tor quay for London on Saturday, and witness and de ceased packed the luggage, and they were to hare gone together to the station about half-past nine. When they were ready witness left with the two vehicles, and soon after they had started he looked back and called to deceased, who had gone back to the house, and he tried to avoid witness's seeing him, as he hid behind the pillars at the vestibule. (The things found on deceased were shown to witness. They consisted of two bottles of wine, a gold watch, two gold rings, a pocket-book, letters, and snuffbox, and ho recognised them as belonging to deceased. ddti :on: ad ktt bhheyene A Lune was also found on him, containing three sovereigns, and 7s. in silver.) The wife of deceased received his wages at the Hague, and deceased received ss. per day board wages, and this would account for the small sum of money found on him. Two bottles of willp were given him by the Prince, to be divided betveen the four servants on their journey. The sword found with deceased belong to the aid-de-camp of the Prince. Had known the deceased for six weeks, and for a few days previous to his death he altered very much. He looked thinner and hollow about the eyes. He also appeared low and dejected. Richard Tozenr,,a mason, stated that he had been at work at St. Ann's n o : for some days, and as he returned fr d e fei m ugwsrpuo d esenua i hn n ant Monday he saw deceased hanging to a b shrubbery.
