(Peers present :—The Lord Chancellor ; Lords Brougham Cranworth, Wensleydale, and other Peers.) APPEAL.-EWING V. CRAWFORD (OR EWING) ET ♦L. The further hearing of this appeal was resumed this morning. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., was retained for the ap pellant. This was an administration suit under the will of the late Jas. Ewing, Esq., of Levenside, merchant, Glasgow. The testator, by his will, directed his trustees, in the event of his not leaving a child, to pay a legacy of 120,000 to his nephew, John Humphrey Ewing Crum, mer chant, Glasgow, the appellant, if he did not sue coed to the estates of Levenside on the death of his widow ; and if he did succeed to that estate, to pay him the in+erest of £lO,OOO until he got possession of that estate. The widow is now in possession as life-renter ; and a question arises whether the testator intended succes sion or enjoyment of the estate before payment of the loga eies. The testator died on 29th November, 1853, leaving a widow, but no children. The First Division of the Court of Session in Scotland unanimously held that the events contemplated by the testator in the 6 and 7 purposes or articles of the trust, viz,, the apellants succession to the estate of Levenside had not yet happened, and that he was not yet entitled to take the legacy in question. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel, the Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court of Session, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The other learned and noble lords entirely concurred. solicitor. I have no personal feeling in the matter. I hope it will be arranged as soon as possible. Mr. Bovill said Mr. Ingram was quite as anxious as Mr. Scully that the subject should be closed. A gentleman at the bar had been named, and the inquiry would be taken immediately. The Lord Chief Justice said he was pleased at the ter mination of the case. It was entirely of a pecuniary na ture, which he trusted would be settled to the satisfactioi of both parties, who were gentlemen who must frequently come in contact; and he hoped that in the end they would think no worse of each other than they had done before this unhappy difference arose. The jury was then discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. GYB V. HUGHES. This case was resumed this morning. It is not expected to conclude to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE DURALL-CERTIFICATE MEETING. This was the oertificate meeting in the matter of the bankrupt who was described as of Bond-street, milliner and dressmaker. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.; SCULLY Y. INGRAM. This► action, which was heard some time since, and a ver dict given for the plaintiff, came on for rehearing in accord ance with the rule granted for a new trial, this morning. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., appeared for Mr. Scully, and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., for Mr. Ingram. The following short summary will bring the whole of the circumstances connected with the case back to the recollec tion of our readers : The action was brought in the first instance by the plaintiff, Mr. Vincent Scully, an Irish barrister, a Q.C., and formerly M.P. for the county of Cork against Mr. Herbert Ingram, the proprietor of the Illustrated London News and M.P. for Boston, to recover compensation in damages for representing that he (the defendant) had pur chased an estate called Castle Hyde, in the county of Cork, from the late John Sadlier. Mr. Vincent Scully (the plain tiff) was acquainted with the late John Sadleir, whose gigantic frauds are already known to the public), and who terminated his career by suicide on Hampstead-heath. In 1851 Sadleir was indebted to Scully in the sum of £9,000 for money lent, and Scully having by him ready money to the amount of £lO,OOO was desirous of investing the whole in the purchase of an estate in Ireland, through the Encum bered Estates Court. The property of Castle Hyde, in the county of Cork, was put up for sale in December, 1651, and Sadleir, by direction of Scully, purchased it for £19,42i. Sadleir bought it in his own name, in trust, for Mr. Thos. Ayres, of Bath, representing to the plaintiff it would be better to re• sell in the market if it appeared that the purchaser was an English gentleman. Afterwards the plaintiff tried to get his £9,000 from Sadleir, but failing to do so, he authorised him to re-sell the estate, and Sadleir wrote to him telling him that he had got a purchaser at a profit of £6OO in the person of Mr. Herbert Ingram, the defendant. The plaintiff consented to this arrangement, and expected that the purchase would be completed. Sub sequently the plaintiff was persuaded by &disir to start as a candidate for the county of Cork, but in order to give him a status in the county he was desirous to possess some landed property within it. Sadleir having told him that his friend, Mr. Ingram, w.uld readily re-sell the estate, the plaintiff entered into negotiations with him on the sub ject, but not being able to come to terms the negotiations wore broken off. After Sadleir's death, Mr. Scully, from certain circumstances, alleged that Mr. Ingrain never pur • chased the estate at all, but that he (plaintiff) was virtually owner of it, and could have asserted his rights by moving in the Encumbered Estates Court in the usual way. It was also discovered that Sadleir had deeply mortgaged the property, so that as far as the plaintiff was concerned the estate was irretrievably gone, and compensation was sought in damages against Mr. Ingram, the plaintiff, for lending him self, as alleged by the learned counsel at the trial, to the misrepresentation that he was owner of the estate, when, in fact, ho never had any interest whatever in it, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff—damages, £3OO. When Mr. Bovill obtained the rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, he stated that at the trial at Guildhall there was little evidence to show how Mr, Ingram could have been benefitted by the alleged misrepresentation, or what motive he could have had in making it. The jury came into court twice, and said that they could not agree ; and it appeared that half, or a certain number of them, were not prepared to find that the defendant was an accomplice with Sadleir in the fraud. Tho transaction took place in May, 1853, and at the trial a mass of correspondence was pro duced by the plaintiff for the first time, and the Lord Chief Justice adjourned the cause early on the first day, that Mr. Bovill might have an opportunity of perusing it. Before the trial the defendant applied for leave to administer in terrogatories to Mr. Scully, which was refused ; and the defendant never received the usual notice to inspect and admit these letters, which were for the first time brought to his notice at the trial. It appeared that Mr. Scully was desirous that Mr. Ingram should have every information that existed in connection with the case, and it was afterwards discovered, on examining the papers produced by the plain tiff, tut which the defendant's counsel had no opportunity of examining at the time, that one of them contained an extract dated June, 1533 (the month after Mr. Ingram declined to have anything more to do with the estate), taken from the books of Messrs. Sadleir, Morrogh, and Kennedy, the solicitors of John Sadleir and of Mr. Scully, to the folios ing effect : Mr. Lawrence opposed, sad examined the bankrupt at some length upon various matters, more particularly in re ference to some goods which had been pawned. After hearing the bankrupt's explanations, the learned Commissioner said this was a case in which he could award an immediate certificate of the second class. The debts in the balance-sheet commencing January 1, 1858, and ending November 17, 1859, are—To creditors un secured, £685 ; creditors holding security, £ll6 ; creditors to be paid in full, £llO. The assignees have in hand £125, " John Sp.dleir, Esq. (Castle Hyde Estate), June, 18.53. " Instructions to prepare outline of the title to this es tate, comprising the manor and lands of Castle Hyde, sr Carregreen, Eddy, Coolmackey, Coolore, Knockananing. and Farranelahessey, to lay before Mr. Scully.

" Attending Mr. Morrogh when he executed the same. " The arrangemexts being broken off. " Attending to cancel stamp." Mr. Bovill contended that as Mr. Ingram had abandoned the purchase in May, 1853, and Mr. Scully in the dune fol lowing was dealing with the estate as his own, the Comet accordingly granted a rule for the present proceedings. Mr. Edwin James, at great length, entered into the whole transactiox on the part of Mr. Scully, when The Lord Chief Justice asked whether it was not possible the case could be settled out of court. It appeared that nothing dishonourable was intended to be imputed by Mr. Scully against Mr. Ingram or by Mr. Ingram against Mr. Scully. The case appeared simply a pecuniary dispute, and such being the case, he thought there was a mode by which the difference between the two gentlemen could be settled, Mr. James said that Mr. Scully was anxious that every• thing connected with the case should be rigidly inquired into. The Lord Chief Justice said no charge of fraud was made. If there had been he should not have advised the course he did. Mr. Bovill, for Mr. Ingram, said his client was perfectly ready to meet any charge made against him. After the verdict that had been passed against him, it would be the height of indiscretion for him to advise anything but a public investigation. The Lord Chief Justice asked whether it was not pos sible for Mr. Ingram to have been deceived by Sadleir as well as Mr. Scully. Ho did not see why Mr. Ingram should not be as much inclined to settle this dispute as Mr. Scully, especially as there was nothing dishonourable ad vanced against him. If tho learned counsel meant to im pute fraud, then it was imperative that there should be a public and not a privets inVestigation. Mr. Bovill said whether a charge of fraud or no fraud was made, he was perfectly ready to meet it. Mr. Ingram felt it necessary that every inquiry should be made into the whole transaction. The Lord Chief Justice would not, under the circum stances, make any other remark. Mr. Bovill thanked his lordship for his suggestion, and the case was about to proceed, when a consultation took place between the counsel for both parties. After it had gone on for some minutes, Mr. James asked the learned judge whether they might trespass on his time for a few minutes. The Lord Chief Justice replied in the affirmative and quitted his sent. All parties then left the court, After an absence of about a quarter of an hour. The Lord Chief Justice took his seat on the bench and said he had considered the case, and he could not see that there was any question of personal dishonour involved in it, and it was better that it should be settled amicably in pre ference to fighting it out. Both gentlemen, it appeared to him, had been placed in a false position by the machine tions of a person whose unhappy end they were all ac quainted with. lie was glad all imputations of dishonour had been withdrawn, and that the subject in dispute was to be Fettled in an amicable way as befitted 'the position of both parties. Mr. Bovill said he felt great pleasure that the proceedings had terminated as they had. He never intended to impute anything dishonourable to his opponent. The Lord Chief Justice expressed his gratification at the announcement. Mr. Scully, the plaintiff, who had during the morning opoupied a seat near Mr. James, rose, and addressing the bench, said—My lord, may I be allowed to make one re mark ? I have left the case entirely in the hands of my IN RE WIGDAIIL. This was a certificate meeting under the estate of the bankrupt, a most extensive coal exporter. The losses are set down in the balance-sheet at nearly £lO,OOO, sustained in consequence of the sudden closing of the late Italianwar. Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, called attention to the accounts, and said that probably about 2s. 6d. in the pound would be realised. The losses had excited the anger of the trade assignees. Now, it appeared, that the loss was through a shipment of coals as a speculation during the late war. The Emperor of the French had, however, purchased very largely, and the speculation proved a failure. Mr. Lawrence contended that the bankrupt had, with only a capital of £285, gone most rashly into these speculations, and, in fact, was placing his counters against his creditors' guineas. The bankrupt had kept good books, and had exerted himself most energetically in assisting the assignees to realise his estate. Th 9 bankrupt then read a long statement, at the conclu sion of which his Honour awarded the bankrupt au imme diate certificate of the second class. SHERIFFS' COURT. MR. HARRISON AND THE SUPER - MASTER.-HARRISON Y, HOLLINOSWOUTIL This was a judgment summons. Plaintiff is the well known atklete, and defendant was lately connected with the supernumeraries at one of the London theatres. Ms. Abbott appeared for the defendant. _ _ Mr. Harrison said the debt had been contracted under the following circumstances :—Defendant was a super master, and the debt was for refreshments supplied. Mr. Abbott offered S 2 down, and £2 per month. Plaintiff declined, and said that he really could not agree. His Honour inquired how plantiff would take it ? Plaintiff—l really cannot take it after standing so long. Mr. Abbott—The defendant is here and oan tell your honour his exact position. His Honour again asked plaintiff how he would take it, and not being quickly answered, made the order as required by defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENOE-(THIS DA Y.) TUE BUDGET. -- The following letter has been addressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Mr. Glyn, M.P.:— Downing•street, Feb. 16, 1860. My dear Mr. Glyn,—l think the suggestion which you have conveyed to me that contract notes, like receipts under 405., should be exempt from stamp is a very good one ; and it likewise seems clear that the law should be so altered as to permit the transactions which are known as Time bargains. I will avail myself of this opportunity to mention certain points chiefly, though not exclusively, with respect to such of the resolutions now before the House of Commons as im pose what I may call collectively, for convenience, the new penny charges. 1. These resolutions differ broadly from those which re late to the imposition or removal of Customs duty with re spect to the time when they take effect. For immediate practical purposes the former have the force of law when the resolution itself has been adopted. The latter will have no effect whatever until bills shall have been brought in, shall have passed through all their changes, and shall have received the royal assent. Indeed, as most of these changes will be laid in the form of stamp duties, a further interval for the preparation of stamps, and for various executory arrangements, will in general be required. Even the preliminary resolutions themselves cannot be proposed until the greater questions of Customs and Excise shall have been submitted to the judgment of the House of Commons. In this part, therefore, of the subject there is ample time for the consideration of details. 2. It is likewise important to recollect that, from their nature, all those resolutions which contemplate increased or new charges cannot in general fully explain the measures of which they are to be the basis. The salutary rules of the House of Commons require that for the greater security of the subject, all now taxes shall first be submitted, not in the shape of bills, which admit of clear and full detail, but in the shape of resolutions, which are intended to state the general outline only. Unless this be borne in mind, such resolutions must of necessity create uneasiness, as they cannot set forth the ex emptions or the modifications with which the application of the general principle is usually accompanied. The place for the consideration of all these is the subsequent commit tee on the bill. It is, on the other hand, necessary that the resolutions should be drawn so largely as to include every thing which might come within their range; fur by the rules of Parliament, as you well know, charge may be limited, but cannot be increased or extended in the discus sions on the bill. 3. I have no doubt that in the adjustment of these pennp and minor charges we shall find many details requiring consideration. At the present moment the course most favourable to the progress of public business would be that those gentlemen who are immediately concerned, should, if they think fit, make known to me, in writing, the modifi cations which they may think most necessary, and should set forth whatever they may think the extreme cases in which the application of the general rule would be produc tive of inconvenisrlce to trade. I should thus be enabled to bring together the results of much general experience, and should be prepared to enter advantageously into personal examinations a little later. 4. With respect, however, to one or two of the measures I may mention the general rule by which the Government intend to be guided. (a) As respects the registration due of one penny upon imports and exports, I compute that it s average amoun t will be about one shilling and tonpence upon the hun dred pounds, while it will be levied off the ships' papers. In particular cases it will be lower and in some others higher; but speaking generally I should regard .1 per cent. as the maximum, and I do not think it can be found ne ' eessary for the purposes of simplicity of adjustment in any case to carry it so far as to make it equal to one-half per cent. I anticipate from it a material improvement in the statistics of our external trade. In fixing the details of the charge we shall have to consider the number and complication of the entries, as well as the values of the goods. (b) In the charges upon certain operations performed with respect to goods in warehouses the Government stand upon a two-fold principle, just I think in both its parts. The first is, that the very heavy cost of the warehousing system to the nation, as it is connected with certain. opera tions, especially upon wines and spirite, may be equitably reviewed, and moderate charges imposed upon such ope rations in relief of the department against the cost to which it is put. The second is that by means of a charge on removals we propose to lay the ground for a system of Inland Bonding on principles which will be fair and equal as between inland towns and ports which have the priviteg , : of warehousing with respect to articles that they do not im port. As to the particular rates to be fixed, I think that they will require to be carefully considered in detail. (c) As respects the proposed change upon contract notes and dock warrants, we shall have to consider carefully the definition proper for the first with respect to the ordinary course of trade ; and as respects the latter I have no hesita tion in saying that if we find the charge of 3d. likely to amount in a large number of instances to a serious burden we shall not hesitate to reduce it. 5. Leaving the subject of the new or penny charges, I subjoin information which I ought but fur the pressure of other matter to have convoyed on Friday night with re spect to certain articles subject to excise at home, which are to be imported from abroad on altered terms. The proposed changes will take effect for the foreign article only at the time when the duty on the domestic production is re duced or removed. The duties of Customs will not be re moved from articles of paper until the first cf July—and the duty on foreign hops will not b 3 reduced to 14s. until the first of January. 6. Lastly. With respect to desires which have been ex pressed in various quarters for further changes in the French Customs' Laws, over and above those which are comprehended in the Treaty. These cannot, I apprehend, be made the subject of any communications which can affect the course of Parliament with regard to the Treaty itself. But inasmuch as the Government have proposed to Parliament various measures favourable to French commerce, in addition to those which the treaty contains, they will, if those measures shall be adopted by Parliament, feel no difficulty whatever in making repre sentations to the French Government in support of any de mand which may appear in itself to be reasonable, so far, at least, as to recommend it to favourable consideration.— I remain, sir, your sincerely, W. E. GLADSTONE. G. C. Glyn, Esq., M.P. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A COMPOSITOR, AND FALSE ACCUSATION. —Charles Perkins, a house decorator, living at the Black Dog public-hense, Markham-square, Chelsea, was charged with assaulting John B. Weaver, of 80, Gloucester-strut, Cambridge-heath, a compositor. The complainant said he was passing along Cranhourne • street on the previous evening, having just left his employ, when tits defendant, who was far from sober, seined him by the collar, and said he was one of the persons who lad robbed him in a public honse. He told him he was entirely mistaken ; but ho persisted in the statement, got a large erowd round him, and detained him for 10 minutes, and on a constable, Smith, 72 C, coning up, he gave the defendant into custody. Tho defendant said he was not sober at the time, but somebody had robbed him in tho public house. Mr. Bingham, in fining the defendant 200., said he would recommend him to keep saber for the future, or, at all events, not to give innocent persons into custody, as he had not only kept the complainant a prisoner in the streets, but disgraced him also. A Nicu LODGER.—Emma Taylor, of 49, Well-istreet, Middlesex Hospital, was charged on a warrant by O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant-officers, with threaten ing the life of Mn,s Mary Ann Wilson, wife of Mr. Wilson, surgeon. It appears that Mr. Wilson, who is in a very delicate state of health, has only lately taken the house, the defen dant being at the time a lodger, and that she had threatened tke life of Mrs. Wilson, and also to set the house on fire. The defendant was ordered to leave the house this day, and her husband's security was taken for her future good behaviour. THAMES. ROBBERY IN A Cous rtNo-Houstt.—A tall well-dressed man, about 27 years of age, who gave the name of Thomas Maybury, and said he was a bricklayer, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing money in the counting house of Mr. William Jones, the proprietor of lime works in High-street, Wapping, near the Thames Tunnel. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Jones that yester day afternoon his clerk had just retired from his desk into the inner counting-house, and that Mr. Jones entered the outeecounting-house suddenly and saw the prisoner and another man, "equally as respectable," standing close to the desk. Before Mr. Jones could ask their business the prisoner's confederate dropped the lid of the desk and ran away. The prisoner asked Mr. Jones some ques tions about planter, which the prosecutor did not answer, but laid hold of him and said, " You have robbed me." An immediate alarm was raised, and the prisoner's confederate was pursued, but made his escape. The prisoner was given into custody, and conveyed to the Thames Police-station, close by. On his way ho dropped a packet containing ss. worth of half pence, which was recovered. Another packet containing a similar amount was found in his coat pocket. Mr. Jones missed four or five packets, each containing ss. worth of coppers from the desk in his counting-house, and he could identify the one dropped by the prisoner and the one found upon him as having been taken from the desk. There was gold and silver to a large amount in the desk, and the prisoner and his companion would have carried away a large booty if they had not been suddenly interrupted. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said, "I wish you to settle it here." Mr. Selfe—Why do you wish me to settle it hire /' The prisoner—lt is my first offence. Roche, the gaoler of the court, who is remarkable for his recollection of old offender., said if tke prisoner was re =Laded it would bo found that he had been often in cus tody for various offences. The prisoner —Never before Roche—Yes; and you have been tried and convicted. Mr. Solfa--*hen did that occur ? Roche—Too many years ago for me to Qx the time. Mr. Selfe had very little doubt in his own mind the pri soner was an old 'offender; but, as there was no actual proof of a former conviction, and the prosecutor wished him to dispose of the case summarily, he should do so. Tho robbery was a most audacious one, and he sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A GENTLEMAN FROM Loxvox BRIDGIL—At an early hour yesterday morning a most desperate attempt at suicide was made by a gentleman named T. Chapman, whose relatives reside in the neigh bourhood of Walworth. It appeared that the unfortunate gentleman jumped from the parapet of London Bridge into the river, and was carried by the stream under the vessels. Fortunately the Thames police were on the spot, and suc ceeded in rescuing him. He was conveyed to St. Thomas Hospital, where he now remains. No cause is assigned for the act. LINCOLNSIIIIIE _RACES.

The following bills, on the motion of Lord REVESDI/31, were road a second time :—The Cork and Limeriek way, Spalding Water, 'Athenry and Ennis Junction, CiOy don Gas, Edinburgh Railway Station Access, Galway Pier Junction Railway, Dlatlock Water, and Railway Clearing House (Ireland). NICE AND SAVOY. Lord WODEHOUSE laid on the table a return moved for the other evening of the dates of all the communica tions that had taken iplace relative to the annexation of these two duchies to the dominions of France. WEIGHTS FOR RACEHORSES. Lord REDESDALE brought in a bill to regulate the weights to be carried by horses kept fur racing purposes. Many of these horses at present were started for certain races carrying ridiculously small weights, such es to clearly prove that they were not intended for legitimate purposes, but merely to swell the number of starting horses, and pro mote gambling. A horse that could not carry seven stone was clearly not of much use as a legitimate racehorse; therefore he proposed, supposinc , their lordships should agree to the pas s i ng o f his bill, no horse carrying less than 71bs. should start for any race. Several Peers exclaimed-7lbs. ! Lord REDESDALE said he meant 7st. (Laughter.) He thought that was a very moderate weight for a horse to early. He should not name any day for the second reading, but merely on that occasion content himself with laying the 'bill on the table, at the same time saying it was one well worthy the attention of their lordships. The bill was then read a first time. ALTERATION IN THE PRAYER-BOOK. Lord EBURY moved (us we understood) for a copy of the memorial recently presented to the Archbishop of Can terbury touching the proposed alteration in the Prayer• book. The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the motion. There could only be two courses open to the house if they wanted the motion carried—either to address the Crown praying that the Archbishop might be desired to give up the document, or to send the Sergeant at-Arms, as it was proposed that the House of Commons shculd do in a motion that had been put upon the notice paper of that house, and desire the archbishop to deliver up the paper in the name of their lordship's house. Either of these courses would be highly illegal. Lord BROUGHAM entirely agreed with the noble and learned lord on the woolsack. Whichever of the courses described were followed would be entirely unjustifiable. The Crown had no more right than an officer of that house to demand the production of a book out of the Archbishop's library. The subject then dropped. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Hayling Railways and Harbour; Dublin Corporation Water; and Leeds Township. Several private bills wero read a first time. PETITIONS.

CHURCH RATES AT WOOLWICH.—About twelve months since, after an exciting contest, a church rate was refused at Woolwich by a majority of 111. The church wardens have again convened a vestry meeting to consider the question of making a rate, and the organist of the parish church has forwarded a circular to each ratepayer, stating that, in consequence of the want of funds, he has not received his salary. The anti-rate party have issued placards denouncing the attempt to i n flict church r a te s upon the inhabitants, and a strong contest is expected. nun D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. DR.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. Sir. It. PEEL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government have any objec tion to state the nature of the communications which have passed between the Sardinian and British Govern ments, with respect to the cession of a portion of the Sardinian territory to France ; and also, whether her Majesty's Government have hall occasion to communicate to the French Government the opinion entertained by other Powers on this subject; and whether, in the event of the annexation of Savoy to France being effected, her Majesty's Government are prepared to abandon the neutrality of Snit. zerland, as guaranteed by Great Britain, in common with other European Powers Lord J. RUSSELL, who was very imperfectly heard, was understood to say that, as regarded Sardinia, a eommuni. cation had been received from the Government of that country, to the effect that it was not intended to cede any of the Sardinian territory to France. Up to the present time there had been no official communication with Franca on this subject. Her Majesty's Government proposed to act in the same way with reference to Switzerland, that other countries had resolved to do under the condition in question. He had entertained some apprehension that Switzerland, under the circumstances, would have been tempted to act in a spirit of aggrandisement, but he had re• ceived assurances to the contrary. (Hear, hear.) In reply to Mr. FITZGERALD, Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Government had rs• ceived no official information with respect to the views of France relative to the annexation in question ; but he understood it had been communicated by the Government of France to Sardinia, that if the territory of the latter kingdom were increased in consequence of the addition of a portion of Central Italy, that Franoe would not consider her frontier sufficiently secure unless she ob• tained the annexation of the provinces alluded to by the hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel). THE TROOPS OF THE KING OF NAPLES. Lord R. MONTAGU asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether her Majesty's Government had received any communication front the Government of the Two Sicilies, complaining that agents of the Government of Sardinia have been trying to excite a mutiny in the troops of the King of Naples. Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government had not re ceived any information on the subject. EXCESSSIVE PUNISHMENT Mr. FREELAND asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the attention of her Majesty's Government has been called to the case of an agricultural labourer in Hertfordshire, who, having been previously convicted for stealing rabbits, was said to have been sen tenced by the magistrates of that county to three years• penal servitude for stealing a few sticks from a fagot stack; whether there was any truth in the statement ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that an application had been made to the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions relative to the matter, but no information had yet been received. LORD ELGIN. Mr. B. OSBORNE inquired whether there was any truth in the statement which had appeared in the news papers, to the effect that Lord Elgin was about to be sent en a mission tn China ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that he could not answer that question at present. THE RUSSIAN COMPANY. Mr. HUBBARD asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he had received any, and, if any, what com munication from the Governor of the Russian Icompanh touching the levy of dues by that company. Mr. M. GIBSON. said that it was intended to remove the dues alluded to in the event of the treaty with France being agreed to by the house. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY, NAVY, AND MILITIA. Mr. W. WILLIAMS called the attation of the house to the flogging in the army and navy, and moved an address for a return of the number of men flogged in the army and militia in the year 1859, specilving the offence, the regi ment, the place of station, the sentence, and the number of lashes inflicted on each man; also, ber flogged i n th e nav y in 18d9, sp for . a return of the nipm... ecifying. names of ships, and of the commanding officers, the offence, the sentence, and the number of lashes i n flicted on each person, st a ti ng whether by order of court martial or the commanding officer.—Agreed to. - • NNING THE NAVY. unasull Sir C.

Our leading contemporary announced in the early part of the wcek that Major-General Sir James Scarlett was about to succeed Sir George IVetherall as Adjutant-General at 'lead. Quarters. The statement d es not rest on good foundation. Sir George Wetherell, we have reason to be hove, will continue for some time longer in the office of Adjutant- General, inasmuch as the Duke of Cambridge is very anxious to have the benefit of his services in arranging whatever new measures the Government may adopt respect ing the reorganisation of the Indian Army. We may also contradict the statements which have appeared regarding Lord Seaton's successor in the Irish command nothing having yet been settled upon the subject.—Army and Navy Gazette. A WORD TO TRIVELLERS.—There are same things to be avoided in Paris, and " rosbif" is ono of them. As soon as the gargon sees a customer is an Englishman (aid we are easy to identify) he takes rather a wicked plea sure in asking him to take "rosbif"—but avoid it.
