THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY. submitted in a body he would vote far there, but he did not think h. could do so if they were pjit !separately. The CHAIRMAN then put the .teselution, when it was carried unanimously. 4 resolution empowering the new directors to borrow £AOOO on mortgage or debentures, preference shares or otherwise, was then submitted and agreed to, shortly after which the meeting broke up. P P MEETING THIS DAY. • The adjourned meeting of the proprietors of this company was held ito-day, at the London Tavern, Bishopagate street, to receive the report of the committee of investiga tion appointed to examine into the position and prospects of the company. The chair was taken at one o'clock by J. R. Campbell, Esq. Mr. BAKER, the chairman of the committee of investi gation, then read the report as follows : Gentlemen,—The committee of investigation appointed by you at the adjourned general meeting, on the 17th ultimo, before reporting the result of their labours, deem it their duty to express, their sincere and deep regret for the severe loss this company has sustained by the untimely death of Captain Harrison ; and they hope the shareholders will pass a resolution marking the high estimation in which he was held by them. Your committee have to lament that they lost in Captain Harrison a material wit ness. They have since their appointment been constantly engaged in prosecuting their inquiries, and have examined a great number of persons; but, from their want of power to obtain evidence under the sanction of legal process, and to compel the attendance of witnesses, the information they have obtained has been so conflicting or ex-parte, that your committee do not feel warranted in passing a judgment which may either exonerate or implicate any individual connected with the management of your affairs. At the same time they have sufficient grounds to arrive at the conclusion, that your interests require that they should be intrusted to an entirely new board, selected with the view of conciliating the hitherto antagonistic elements in your organisation. Tho committee strongly recommend the alteration of your articles of association, in such manner as will abolish the office of managing directors ; and they concur in the opinion that the number of directors should be limited to seven. They take the liberty of recommending that the seats in the direction be offered to—The Marquis of Stafford, Captain C. E. Mangles, Hen. Tkos.Hope, Esq., Samuel Baker, Esq., the Hon. Captain Carnegie, R.N., J. Rodney Croskey, Esq., and. Daniel Gooch, Esq. Your committee are of opinion that Mr. Magnus, in his opposi tion to the contracts entered into with Mr. J. Scott Russell, and in his application for an inquiry, was influenced by a conscientious desire to forward the interests of the company. Considering that the Great Eastern should be placed, with out loss of time, in a condition to earn a dividend for the pro prietors, and that for this purpose further capital is abso lutely necessary, your committee recommend that the directors be authorised to borrow any sum or sums of money not exceeding £50,000 in the whole, in addition to the moneys already owing by the company ; that the nominal capital of the company be increased from £330,000 to £430,000 ; and that full powers be vested in the board to raise, by mort gage, debentures, preference shares, or otherwise. such addi tional capital, if necessary. It is not anticipated by your committee, that the whole of this sum will be required. It must be recollected that a large sum is claimed under the bitration now pending with Mr. J. Scott Russell, and the result should be advantageous to the company. Your com mittee desire to claim your especial attention to the position in which the Great Eastern is now placed. She lies in Southampton Waters, requiring an estimated outlay of not more than £30,0(10 to send her en a voyage to America, equipped, in accordance with the just requirements of the Board of Trade. Her cost to the proprietors will then be about £380,000, fitted for sea, which is less than £l7 per ton. The Great Eastern is acknowledged to be the finest specimen of naval architecture that has yet floated. Her qualities as a sea boat have been proved ; her speed, although not fully tested, has exceeded that of the largest class of steam ships against a head wind. Under united and energetic management she must become profitable to you, and reflect honour upon her original projectors. Your committee can not believe that this great nautical experiment will be allowed to languish for want of the comparatively small sum now required. In conclusion, your committee strongly recommend to the new Board a more careful economy both at the company's offices and on board the ship They feel it is due to the directors to state that every facility has been afforded by them and by their secretary during the investigation. SAM. BAKER. Jos. RODNEY CRosKET. THOS. R. T. HODGBON. HENRY Tic. HOPE. He then went on to remark that the committee had, no doubt, laid itself open to the inference, if not the accusation, of net fully acting up to the minute of the last meeting, with respect to entering at length into the past position of the company, but after taking evidence to the extent et 1,200 folios, the committee had unanimously agreed to the report just received. The object of greatest importance was the obtaining means of completing the ship, and if the pro prietors went forward as a united body no difficulty would be found, but the great thing to guard against was dis union. The proprietors must select proper persons to manage their affairs, and if the gentlemen recommended in the re port, or any other number of gentlemen was determined upon, he well knew they would have no bed of roses. The committee had come to the conclusion that the ship could SPORTING NOTES. THE SEASON INAUGURATED. The programme of the racing season is now placed fairly before the sporting public, and it must be regarded with considerable satisfaction. It promises not only an abun dance of sport, but also many stirring incidents. New and important two and three-year-old races have been esta blished, and they are already ex tiling much interest and attention. The prospects of sport at Newmarket were never more cheering, and the Jockey Club is likely to reap a full harvest of prosperity from the seeds of reform which they scattered sparingly at first, but which they at last dis tributed with no niggardly hand. At the Epsom Spring ' two days' meeting will be held instead of one; the City and Suburban being run for on the first day, and the Metropolitan and the new two-year-old race established by the liberality of Mr. Carew on the second day. The Northampton list is strengthened, and the York Spring maintains its attractions unimpaired. Next week ax excellent meeting will take place at Lincoln, and alreany the principal Handicap is spe culated upon with some eagerness. Mr. Newcome's levees daily become more numerous, and his morning perusal of the Times is becoming so frequently interrupted that he will soon have to abandon that recreation altogether. He is now being much troubled about the Slough events, but at present he is feeling his way with caution. By-the-bye, nearly all per sons seem agreed that Mr. Topham's venture at Slough is likely to be attended with success, and I earnestly wish it may, for the Cestrian C. C. has not received much en couragement in his attempts to provide sport in the vicinity of London. I trust that on this occasion he may receive some compensation for his large outlays and many disap • pointments. As the promised sport is being discussed with much curiosity, I will briefly refer to the probabilities. Should the Huntsman be sent for the Military Steeple chase, the horses he is likely to meet will have little chance with him. The Slough Plate will, perhaps, go to either Mr. Barling or Ben Land. Omar Pacha and Kibworth Lass are most to my likiag for the Metropolitan Handicap. Both Congreve and King William are well enough in, but as they are backed for the Grand National, I am doubtful whether they will make the trip to Slough. For the Rail way Plate I shall select the Premier. The movements in the turf market have not been charac terized by much importance, for, although the reporters have been enabled to compile long lists of quotations, yet they have been compelled to acknowledge that a large ma jority of the outlays have been very insignificant. Long range maintains , his position in the Chester Cup betting, and he is entitled to it. With the exception of him and Promised Land I have no very exalted notion of the animals that occupy the foremost places in the list of quo tatioas. Viatka was generally pronounced a " good thing," when the Weights were first published, but she has not been supported with sufficient spirit to induce me to entertain that belief. Satellite had some reputation last year, and it is now said that he will prove himself worthy of it. The Brewer and Tame Deer have no attrac tions forme. Rattlebone has wintered well, and Mr. T. Parr may trust him with his money. Home, at fist IMb, must not be slighted. Bastion is game to the back bone, and will run well, but I do not think him good enough to win. The Squire is certainly turned loose, and must show in front. Amongst the three-year-olds Rising Sun should certainly receive some attention. From William Day's for midable team, Bye Ways may lead the way to success. These are, however, merely a few random notes which I have jotted down in the order in which they were suggested to WY. new)',sox. J. G. TAYLOR. HENRY J. A. Goitz. me. For THE CITY AND SUBURBAN, Nucleus, Fitz-Roland, Paleface, and Croquemetaine are most to my fancy. TIIB MITROPOLITAN is somewhat puzzling, for I scarcely know how to make a selection. Of the top weights Newcastle and Magnum are most to my liking ; and of the three-yrs-olds I have a decided preference for Paleface. I have merely briefly referred to the leading handicaps, but there is ample time to enter into an elaborate discussion of them. _ _ _ _ The only material change which has been made of late in the Derby betting has been the deprivation of Umpire o" the premiership by Mainetono and the retrogression o Buccaneer. More important movements will, however, is expected, be made in a few days. be completed for a sum of £30,000, and they did not think that their great experiment should be allowed to languish for so small a sum. After the ship had been completed, the iext question would be how was she to be employed. The committee had oome to the conclusion that after she was completed the first, or experimental trip, should be to America—(hear, hear)—but the ultimate de cision as to the station of the great ship would •be left to others to decide. Before he resumed his seat he must allude to the gentlemen who had for sonde time past directed the affairs of the company —(hear, hear)—and he was happy to state that no dishonourable imputation could rest upon them. (Hear, hear.) They had thrown no diffi culty in the way of the committee, but, on the contrary, all seemed to have been animated with tut one desire—the success of the company. (Hear, hear.) He would there fore resume hie seat by simply moving the adoption of the report. Mr. JACKSON said, before the motion for the adoption of the report was agreed to, he should like to know whether such a step would imply the election of the gentlemen men tioned therein as directors. Mr. Nrcrioesox, one of the committee of investigation, seconded the report. Mr. JACKSON repeated his question. Mr. BAxun—Certainly not. Mr. MALINS complained of the publication in the news papers of the report of Llcyd's surveyor, which was never meant to be made public, but was intended solely for the consideration of the directors. One of the main questions to be considered was whether the ship was a good one or not ? (Hear.) The former efforts of Mr. Brunel—the Great Britain—which stood the whole of a winter on the sands of Dundrum Bay, and then came off nearly uninjured, spoke much in favour of the Great Eastern. Then, with respect to regaining the confidence of the pub lic, it was of the highest importance that such should be regained as speedily as possible, and he thought the best way to do that was to engage the highest naval autho rity in the world—the surveyor of the British navy, Sir Baldwin Walker—and lot him say whether the ship was fit to go to sea complete in every respect or not. (Hear, and cheers) The first trip of the ship should be to America. That was a thing easily managed, but the permanent station ought to be one for a long voyage. The ultimate destinationo f the ship ought to be India, and the experiments that had been made proved she could perform the voyage in 40 days ; and if that could be done by one ship, why not by more ? That which was • now called the overland route would fall into disuse, and England would be rendered independent of the whole world in her communication with her Indian empire. (Cheers.) He was of opinion that the ship was a good one—(hear, hear)—and that with prudent management she would prove successful. (Cheers.) The Chairman was then about to put the adoption of the report, when Mr. TAYLOR entered into a statement of the' cause that had led him to agree to the report, which was the import ance of unanimity. Th ere w ere many things the committee had learned that would be interesting to the meeting to know with respect to a number of contracts entered into ; but he would not disturb the unanimity of the meeting. The committee, in the course of their investigation, had met nothing contrary to the integrity of the directors. The speaker then went on to allude to certain subjects the committee had met with in the course of their investiga- A FRESH MAN. Leamington, Feb. 6. Tits SUNDAY TIMES' RAcixo RECORD.—The success which we predicted for this little work when it was first established has boon fully realised, for it is now the recog nised turf handbook, and is in the possession of all racing men. The sixth ''eekly part is now before us and an enu meration of its contents will at once show the value of the work. It contains a list of races to come, a record of races past from the Ist January, up to andinclusive of the Aboys worth Steeple Chases, a programme of Slough Steeple Chases, the acceptances for the leading spring handicaps, with owners and trainers names attached ; a comparative table of the acceptances alphabetically arranged, and a most invaluable tabular list of betting from which, at a glance, the most recent changes in the market can be seen. In addition to these features the book aontains many items of intelligence ; it is neatly printed, of a convenient size, and its cheapness must command for it a large and deserved circulation. LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS. The New Orleans Delta relates a horrible story , Colonel Peck, a member of the State Legislature, and a Mr. C. N. Harris had had a quarrel about a year ago. They both accidentally happened to be staying at' the St., pilules Hotel, New Orleans, on the 12th of January. Colonel" Peck and a friend were pushing their way through a crowd after dinner, when Mr. Harris, who was unknown to the friend of Colonel Peck, turned round and asked if they intended to insult him by pushing against him. Colonel Peck's friend replied politely that no one intended to insult him. Harris, while asking the question, looked at Colonel Peck, who at once re cognised him. Harris, after the answer given by Colonel Peck's friend, and looking directly at Peck, said, as he placed his hand in his pocket, to the latter. " D—n you, you did intend to insult me." Harris, the moment he finished speaking, drew a pistol and fired at Peck, who was in the act of placing his hand in his side pocket for his pistol. After firing and missing his aim, Harris turned and ran through the crowd. A short while after this affray Harris was arrested for disturbing the peace of the St. Charles Hotel by firing a pistol in the Rotunda, and locked up. When he was arrested he had in his room a revolver, a Derringer pistol, and a bowie-knife, which were also taken to the station house. He was arraigned before Recorder Summers, and fined 20 dols., upon paying which his weapons were handed back to him. Next day Peck con fronted Harris as he was paying his hotel bill. The clerk, Mr. Mayne, who had just handed Harris a ten-dollar bill in change, says that Peck looked for about a quarter of a minute at Harris, then a few words passed which he did not hear, and both drew about the same moment, and fired, but he thinks Col. Peck shot first. Others state that as Colonel Peck advanced towards Harris the latter asked him if he intended taking advantage of him ; that Peck replied, " You took advantage of me yesterday. I am armed, and I suppose you are ;" that both then drew, some say that Peck shot a little in advance, some say that Harris shot first, and others that the reports were simultsaeous. Another version of the affair is that Peck asked Harris if he was armed, and he, avoiding the question, replied, " I am not prepared to have a difficulty with you here, and I wish you would leave me ;" and that both drew at once. The firing having commenced, Harris retreated, and finally dodged into the door of the small bar and cigar - room , a nd shielding him self partly behind the glass door, looked out and fired from time to time. Peck, while Harris re treated, stepped out from the office, and fired seve ral shots—three of which took effect upon the per son of Harris—and was in that position when he was fired at from the room. Exhausting his pistol, Peck drew his bowie-knife and advanced delibe rately toward the door of the cigar-shop, from be hind which Harris had shot and seemed to hesitate a moment whether to enter. The next moment Har ris fired at the open doorway, the ball of his pistol entering the side or jamb of the door. After firing the last shot, Harris ran back just as Peck entered the door and got over the marble counter of the bar, and into a corner among the bottles. Peck fol lowing, sprang over after him, and grasping hold of him, inflicted upon his person four stab wounds with the bowie-knife. Harris was picked up and placed on the floor for a few moments, and then carried to his room near by, expiring almost the moment he was placed upon his bed. The excitement was very in tense, and most of the crowd got out of the way at the first firing. Some got behind pillars, others ran into the passages leading to the dining-room and ladies' parlour, and not a few, thinking it too late to fly, made shields of the chairs. A group of gen tlemen were standing conversing immediately in a line with the shot from Harris, which lodged in the wall a few feet above their heads. Harris received the following wounds :—One shot wound in the right shoulder, two stab wounds in the left shoulder, one stab wound in the left arm, one stab wound in the left side, between the fifth and sixth ribs, pene trating the lungs; one shot wound in the right side, between the seventh and eighth ribs, pene trating the liver. The two wounds last above men tioned were tla• immediate cause of death. One shot wound in the breast, between the first and second ribs. Peck Vlas arrested immediately after the murder. tion, when A PROPRIETOR rose to order. Mr. JACKSON said in the event of Mr. Taylor pursuing the subject further, he should demand to have the whole of the affairs fully discussed. He was of opinion that the best conclusion the meeting could come to was to let bygones be bygones, and to see what could be done to secure the prosperity of the ship. The meeting ought simply to adopt the report of the committee, with the re servation of the election of directors, upon which, as an honest man, he should deem it his duty to say a few words. Mr. TAYLOR, however, then proceeded to notice the financial position of the company, and concluded by saying that without the company made a strong pull altogether they would lose the ship. Mr. HOPE said he thought, before the meeting proceeded to the election of directors, they ought to give the pro prietors residing in the country an opportunity of express ing their opinion upon the labours of the committee of investigation. He did not see how any objection could be made to a week's delay before such a proceeding was com menced. Mr. JACKSON thought a meeting ought to be called specially for considering the election of directors. He held a great number of proxies to exercise on the election of directors. He thought a fortnight ought to be the time allowed for the purpose. Mr. lIorE said he intended to bind himself by the report of the committee, of which he had been one, namely, that any alteration in the names of the gentlemen set down there as directors would !nclude his name. A discussion then ensued relative to the time that should elapse previous to the meeting for the election of directors. Mr. WEBBER asked Mr. Magnus how he would use the proxies he held ? Mr. MAGsus said all the proxies he held would be exer cised in favour of the report and the election of the gentle men mentioned therein as directors and not in his own favour. (Loud cheers.) The report was then agreed to unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution deeply deplor ing the loss of Captain Harrison. The resolution was unanimously carried. After some discussion, The CHAIRMAN said be thought it appeared to be the feeling of the meeting that the election of directors should be immediately proceeded with. He therefore moved that the Marquis of Stafford, Captain C. E. Mangles, H. T. Hope, Esq., Samuel Baker, Esq., Captain Carnegie, R.N., J. R. Croskey, Esq., Daniel Gooch, Eaq., be elected directors. Mr. JACKSON seconded the motion. r sir, VlAcnivs said if the hams of the gentlemeh were THIII D EDITION. hUN OFFICE, Seren o' Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EvEnso.) The Lonn CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. CRIMINAL LAW. Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack to the bills he had intro duced, as he had been informed, for the consolidati•n of the criminal law. One of these bills was not confined to the consolidation, but extended to the amendment of the law. The LORD CHANCELLOR• said, not amendment, but assimilation. Lord L YNDHURST said, at all events he inferred that a clause in one of them was at variance with the law. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the noble lord had been entirely roisinfoimed, when he was told the bills were merely for consolidation. He had expressly said that the object was to assimilate the law of England and Ireland. He had spent hours in company with Mr. Greaves in ex amining them with a view of preventing any inaccuracies, but he intended to propose that a committee be appointed to examine them still further, and any assistance the noble and learned lord could afford would be of great value. Lord LYNDIIURST referred to a certain clause which he thought bad. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he could not go into the subject, because he had not received any notice that he intended to do so from the noble and learned lord. CHURCH . The Marquis of BATH presented petitions against the abolition of church rates. ST. GEORGE' S-IN -THE-E AST. The Earl of DERBY rose to put the question of which he had given notice relative to the proceedings that had for some time past been taking place in the parish of St. George's-in•the-East. The noble lord took the opportu nity of alluding to the subject in order that his noble friend might contradict what he felt sure must be a mistake in the speech made in another place by a right honourable colleague of his. He had no sympathy with those persons who introduced into the simple services of the Church of England practices dis tasteful to the majority of the parishioners and worship pers, and which might eventually have the effect of driving them into dissenting chapels. This, however, would offer no palliation to the conduct which made St. George's-in the-East scandalously notorious. The proceedings that had taken place in that church were disgraceful to any Christian parish. Their lordships had, no doubt, seen the accounts in the papers of the slamming of doors and other proceed ings, a parallel to which could only be found in a penny theatre. He could not dwell any further upon the scenes that had taken place, further than to say that a rev. gen tleman had that day informed him that the reports of the proceedings were in no way exaggerated, as he had himself been struck in the face by peas and other substances. The question he wished answered was, whether the Government had had their attention called to the proceedings that had taken place in St. George's - in - the - East , an d what ste p s they had taken to suppress a repetition of them, and whether they had examined the laws on the question with a view of ascertaining whether they were sufficient to check such scenes. If the law had been found insuffi cient to check those outrages, whether they were prepared to introduce a measure to remedy this scandalous state of things ? Earl GRANVILLE said the words that had fallen from the noble earl would no doubt have very great effect. lie perfectly agreed with him that the matter was a great scan dal to all parties concerned. With regard to the police, there was some difficulty. Orders, as he (had stated the other evening, had been given to do all they could to repress the disturbance as vigorously as possible, but they could not legally interfere further than they had done. He could not at that moment take upon himself to state what the law was, but the magistrate in the district had informed parties who had waited upon him that if they could point any individual who had created a disturbance there he could be taken into custody, but that he had no power to interfere. On Sunday last the church wardens informed the police that there was no necessity for their entering the church. Lord BROUGHAM expressed his disgust at the scenes that had been reported. The noble earl talked of the power of the police to interfere. Why, his noble friend (Earl of Derby) had distinctly stated an instance of palpable as sault. The police ought not to have remained outside, notwithstanding the direction of the churchwarden. He thought the disturbances could most speedily be put an end to by closing the church. The Bishop of LONDON said there were in existence two laws quite sufficient to meet the evil. The noble earl had said there was some difficulty on the point, but:he must say he could not discover any to the carrying outlet' the law. He was certain that if any of the rioters were taken before the magistrates they would be punished. Witk respect to closing the church, that had been tried, but he was quite certain that if all parties concerned in the painful proceedings were to agree to place the whole subject in his hands, he would, he felt assured, restore that peace which was so much desired by all parties. (hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. NICE AND SAVOY. The Marquis of NORMAN BY then rose, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS EVENING.) - - The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

MC. JOHN LOCKE moved for returns of the total number of acres of land in the United Kingdom under the cultivation of hops in the year 18.59 ; distinguishing the number of acres in each parish; and the number of pounds' weight charged with duty in each collection; and the number of pounds' weight charged with duty in each parish : of the amount of duty charged on hops in each collection of the growth of the year 1859 ; dis• tinguishing the districts, and the old from the new duty in each district ; showing the average amount of duty per acre in each collection; of the quantity of British hops exported from the United Kingdom to foreign countries, from the Ist day of January to the 30th day of June, and from the Ist day of July to the 31st day of December, 1859, respec• tively ; distinguishing the countries to which the same have been exported, and also the quantities to each country, with the dates of the years in which the hops were grown ; of the quantity of foreign hops exported from the United Kingdom to foreign countries, from the Ist day of January to the 30 th day of Jug's, and the Ist day of July to the 31st day of December, 1859, respectively, distinguishing the coun tries to which the same have been exported, and also the quantities to each country ; of the quantity of foreign hops imported into the United Kingdom, from the Ist day of January to the 30th day of June, and from the Ist day of July to the 31st day of December, 1839, respectively, dis tinguishing the ports where imported and the countries whence exported.—Agreed to. QUEEN'S PRINTERS' PATENT. Mr. BLACK asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the patent of the Queen's printers for print ing Bibles and Acts of Parliament had been renewed ; and, if so, what were the terms on which it had been renewed And, it the patent had not been renewed, on what condi tions were Bibles and Acts of Parliament now printed ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the committee on this subject recommended the appointment during the present session of another commission. With reference to the printing of Bibles, the patent had been renewed during her Majesty's pleasure ; and with regard to the public papers, an arrange ment had been made by which they would be printed at a reduced rate. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE. In reply to Mr. S. FITZGERALD, Lord J. RUSSELL said that, although the version of the text of the commercial treaty with France whicht ap peared is some of the journals was partly correct,still question was impossible to understand so complicated a without being in possession of the text of the treaty. It was not the intention of Govern ment to lay o n the table the treaty before Friday next. Q UESTION. THE ITALIAN Lord C. HAMILTO N asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if it was true that Lord Cowley had been instructed to communi ca te to the French Government a project for the defi nit i ve s ettlement of the Italian que s ti on ; and, if so, whether he had any objection to communicate th e details of that project to the house. Lord J,RUSSELL said that it was nec essar y, i n order to satisfy the hon. member, to enter into an account of what had already taken place with respect to the affairs of Italy. H on . members must have seen from her Majesty's most gracious Speech, that her representatives were invited to attend the congress and take part in its deliberations ; but subsequently her Majesty's Ministers_ had been informed of the intended postponement of the meeting of congress. Ravine referred to other communications which had taken pace between our Government and foreign governments, he said it was apprehended that this rivalry between France and Austria would be productive of injury to the interests of Italy and dangerous to the peace of Europe, and it war ar ranged that they should not interfere in the affairs of Italy without the consent of the other five great Powers of Eu rope. It was also proposed that the governments of Europe should not interfere in reference to Venetia, and:that the French should withdraw their troops from nay. To this France had assented, but stipulated some condition, with regard to the last. No doubt Austria was not favour able to the present state of Central Italy, but it had agreed to confine its movements merely to the defence of its own possessions according to the treaty that had been signed. Her Majesty's Government were, of course, extremely anxious to settle in a satisfactory manner the affairs of Italy for the future, and had taken such steps as they could do consistently under existing circumstances. It was accordingly arranged that the King of Sardinia was not to send his troops into Central Italy, until the people of • that portion of the Continent had signified a desire of being placed under his dominion. With regard to the details to which the hon. member referred, it was not consideredad visable to produce them pending the present negotiations. THE DIVORCE COURT. Lord J. MANNERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable the Court 14r Divorce and Matrimonial Causes to hold its sittings with closed doors. He contended that the details published in the newspapers in respect to the trials at this court were calculated to demoralise the community to a considerable extent. The object of his bill 'was to confer on the judge of the court the privilege of sitting with '.closed doors in cases where he conceived it would be conducive to public morals to adopt that course. A clause to that effect had received the sanction of the house of Lords and the present Attorney-General. and was in conformity with the power possessed by the old Ecclesi astical Court, the House of Lords, and even the Court of Chancery. Mr. EDWIN JAMES moved the previous question as an amendment of the motion of the noble lord. The hon. and learned member said that the newspaper press had acted with the greatest propriety and regard for public morality in suppressing several cases, the details of which were disgusting.

Eliza Smith, 25, servant, was indicted for stealing two silver spoons and other articles, the property of Mr. James Wilder Adams, her master. Mr. Foote conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Grady and Mr. Steele. It appeared from the evidenoe that the prisoner was taken into the service of the prosecutor, the proprietor of the Union Tavern, Air-street, Piccadilly, in October of last year, and shortly after he missed several articlss of his property. Suspicion having fallen on the prisoner, the prosecutor, in conjunction with police-constable 293 A, searched her box on the 24th January, and the articles alleged to have been stolen were fund in it. The defence was that the articles were put into her box by some one else, as it was so insecure that they might he placed there without unlocking the box. The jury found her guilty, but recommended her to mercy on account of a good character received, and the Court sentenced her to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. SPECIMENS OF YANA-E.F: HUMOUR, (From Wit and Iliononr.) Four fast young men; the eons of gentlemen of wealth, were brought before C.ourt. in New Orleans as common rowdies. The judges inquired what their bad course of life could be aaeribed to. Most probably to their _four e sa t i a d sc t i h n e ati u n n g p g r i o r m ls is " ii; fathers. heart," said a considerate father to h . s te pi your . hie eon, ti f or you are goin g rath rather te a a m l o theirs, " i r s s o , coniptiments, carried to an extravagant extent, become rude offences. There is a material difference between prettily asking for a lock of hair, and taking the whole scalp. A sceptic thinks it very extraordinary that an ass once y"olunligad.tren talked like a man. Isn't it still more extraordinary that thousands of men are continually talking like asses? A popular author exclaims, " What a pity some quadru peds can't talk ;" We are rather disposed to say, " What a pity some bipeds can'. „ Dull writers should be careful not to steal brilliant pas sages, lest the brilliancy betray them by the contrast. A fellow stole a fish in the market-place and slipped it under his vest. A gentleman meeting him, as he passed out, and seeing several inches of the tail below his vest, advised him either to wear a longer jacket or to steal a shorter fish. There is a man in Exeter whose memory is so short that it only reaches to his knees. Per consequence, he has not paid for his last pair of boots. The editor of the Eastern Argus is melancholy in his re flections upon the close of the year. He says he shall soon be lying in his grave. When he gets there it will be time for him to stop lying. The ruling passion is often strong in death, but seldom after it. The editor of the Globe says that he "hopes to reach the truth." Ile is laying out for himself a long journey. He had better make his will before he starts. The editor of the - Star says that he has never mur dered the truth. He never gets near enough to do it any bodily harm.
