At Leeds the cloth trade has been flat, the late cold weather having checked the demand for light fabrics. The amount of business transacted at Manchester has been exceedingly limited, although prices in most instances have slightly given way. The hosiery trade of Leicester, however, has continued mode rately active, and a fair business has been done in Wools and yarns at Bradford. In the hardware districts no material alteration has taken place as regards the iron trade, but more activity has pre vailed in most departments at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. The demand for money in commercial circles is steadily increasing, and a large amount of basineSs is daily transacted, at rates which show that the bankers and brokers are making the most of the opportunity thus afforded to employ their resources on the most profitable terms. A 4 per cent. Bra zilian loan, amounting to £1,373,013, has just been announced, which is likely to find favour among the capitalists and speculators. As the applica tions must be accompanied by a deposit of 10 per cent., the effect will be to augment the inquiry for money. During the next fortnight, therefore, con siderable activity may be expected in discount circles. The loan referred to is projected by the Brazilian Government for the purpose of assisting the Per nambuco Railway Company (which would then be relieved from the necessity of making further calls), and for the promotion of other public works in that State. The price of issue is 90, and the pay ments have to be made as follows :--25 per cent. on allotment, 25 per cent. on the Ist June, 20 per tent. on the 2d July, and 20 per cent. on the Ist August. The interest is to commence from the Ist December last, and 3 per cent, discount will be allowed for payments in advance. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a very small amount of business was transacted, and prices exhibited no change of importance. The sales only amounted to 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with less animation, and quotatio*s tended downwards. Increased heaviness has been experienced in the English Stock Market to-day, owing to continued sales on behalf off the public. It is stated that the East Indian authorities have called in some loans, and stock has been disposed of for the purpose of effecting the necessary repay ments. Consols for money have been 949 1, but they are now 941 7; for the account the latest price is 94 Q. India New Loan is flat at 1041 ; ditto 5 per cent. Enfaced Paper has im proved to 99:, ditto 51 per cent. ditto to 105, but the Bonds remain at 2s. dis., and Exchequer Bills have receded to 17s. to 18s. prem. The transactions in the Foreign Market have been exceedingly limited, and prices show a decline. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 to 80, ditto New 621. 63, and the 4 per Cents, are heavy at 1011 ; Rus sian 3 per Cents. have receded to 65, ditto 41 per Cents. to 98, and Mexican to 211 t. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 31 I prem. ; the Universal ditto, 9 ; prem. ; the Canada Loan is 11 ; prem. ; and Buenos Ayres Railway prem. _ _ The new Brazilian 41 per Cent. Loan is 1 i prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather active, but prices in most instances have shown increased heaviness. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Great Western, North Western, South Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and Norfolk, have declined ss. to 10s. ; Caledonian and Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton, 15s. ; and Great Northern £l. Bristol and Exeter advanced 10s., and London and Blackwall, Brighton and South Eastern, realised about former rates. The Foreign linos have shown no important vari ation. Lombardo-Venetian remained steady at 111 111; Pernambuco, at 11i 12, and San Paulo, at In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada receded to 33j. 34; East Indian to 1021 103; and Indus Steam Flotilla to 19. Joint Stock Bank Shares are in fair demand, and brought about previous values. Bank of Australia declined about 4, and Union of Australia 1.

This charming work, replete 'with beautiful melodies, varied choruses, and brilliant in strumentation, appears likely to attain to as permanent a position in the society's repertoire as its author's celebrated "Creation." Miss Parepa, who made so successful a first appearance at the society's concerts in " Judas Maccabeus," Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Wilb ye C ooper, and Mr. We i ss, are *h e p r i ng ipal vocalists engaged on this occasion We understand that Mr. Gye intends to produce, not M. Gounod's Faust," as had been rumoured, but the " Hereulaneum" of M. David. Our opinion of the Wisdom of such a, preference need not be given. The book of M. _David's opera (though its original idea of presenting " The Last Judgment" was tamed out of it, as rather too strong for even French digestion of irreverence) will, we fancy, have to be clipped and changed again ere it passes our censorship. This is in itself is a berious drawback to a new work, were the music as valuable as M. David's is the re verse. Not all Signor Rossini's splendour, lavished to its utmost on that incomparable finale, can keep his ".Moire" 011 our Italian stage, owing to the transformation of the story rendered necessary for England.—Athenceum. PROGRESS OF WEST HARTLEPOOL.—The re markable growth of the mineral district of South Durham is illustrated by the rapid advance of this port. In 1847, the population of West Hartlepool did not exceed 300 per sons ; at the present moment the port contains :—A harbour of 45 acres ; three deep-water wet docks of 32 acres ; two large graving docks and shipbuilding yards; fifteen acres of floating timber ponds ; eight acres bf bonded timber yards; warehouses possessing an aggregate floor area of 317,721 square feet, or upwards of 7 acres ; nearly three tunes in length of quays, wharves, and shipping berths ; upwards of 21 miles of railway laid down for the traffic aPProaches and accommodations to the docks, the area uccucl by these alone being about 2 3 0 acres "HONEST, HONEST lAGo !"—The Moniteur, in the report of the Parliamentary debate of Thursday night, ktppresses the passage of Lord Palmerston's speech in which he expressed a hope that the annexation of Savoy to prance might after all not take place. THE HORSE GUARDS.—Lieutenant-General Sir George Wetherell has resigned the office of Adjutant ;2hineral, and the duties are carried on by Major-General , orster until Sir Tames Scarlott takes up his post on the Ist ximo. There are various rumours respecting further Fusnges in the Head-quarters Staff, whieh, though want • I Tlf official confirmation, have yet probably some sub- Veeu. Major-General Forster, whose five years' ' n urs of office expired on the 27th of February, it is said, succeed Sir Charles Yorke as military secre irtri to his Royal Highness. Sir Richard Airey is reported L ikely to succeed Gen. Gascoigne in the Dublin district ne=t ,, month, although Sir Richard' s . period of service as :;14.,,,rtermaster General will not terminate before the 26th b t e -uecember next, Lient.-Gen. Knollys, it is anticipated, o 2 e c luing the new Quartermaster-Oeneral. The remaining Gordon'soers of the Quartermaster-General's department, Col. o , r time is up on the 25th of August, and Col. ten's on the Ist of December next.—Army and Aravy tmzette.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, and for all kinds the de mand ruled steady, at very full prices to a slight advance. There was a good business passing in most descriptions of spring corn, including flour, at extreme rates. Throughout the Continent produce generally has been in improved request, at full quotations, and the supplies on offer have not increased. In the United States, wheat, flour, and Indian corn have continued very firm. The al - rivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad were only 2,290 qrs wheat, 1,590 barley, 6,705 oats, 1,670 beans, 112 tares, 9,879 linseed, 1,340 rapeseed, 20 sundry seeds, and 204 sacks flour. 5 7 5 7 192- 20 id a d Stock tLts 1021. i 3 Fresh up, to-day, about an average supply of English wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land-carriage, in somewhat improved condition. Although the attendance of millers was not to say numerous, the demand ruled steady. Good and fine samples sold at Is. per quarter above the rates current on Monday last, and - at which the bulk of the supply was disposed of. [9 194 d par 331 4 3} 934 73 21 3} i 54 6 lit I 91 . We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, sup plied with foreign wheat. On the whole, there was mcre firmness in the demand, and prices weile wells sup ported. Importers generally were firm in their demands. Floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth were tolerably firm in price. The few samples of barley on offer were in active re quest, and extensive rates were paid in every instance. Malt, however, moved off slowly, at late rates. The supply of oats was again limited, and the demand ruled steady at very full prices. Beans moved off freely, and in some instances the quota tions were the turn higher than on Monday last. Peas moved off freely at extreme rates. The flour trade was steady, and country marks were the turn higher. all all all all all AYS. CURRENCY PEE IMPERIAL MEASURE.

This committee assembled this morning —Lord Stanley in the chair. Mr. J. G. Maitland, secretary to the Civil Service Com missioners, was examined on various points with respect to age and ability of the candidates nominated for Government situations. The rejections on account of age amounted to comparatively few. The rejections on account of want of ability and defective education amounted in the year 1855 to the end of 1856 to 880, in 1857 to 490, in 1858 to 292, and in 1859 to 310—making in all, 19,072 rejections. The reason the number had fallen off in the latter years was attributable not to the improved education of the candidates, but to the diminished number of persons examined, as the vacant situations had been such that a very easy standard of examination had been fixed upon. SERPENTINE. This committee re-assembled this morning, Mr. Cowper. First Commissioner of Works, in the chair. Upon the admission of the public, which took 'place at a late hour, Mr. Page took his seat, and was examined by the public with respect to the mud in the Serpentine. He was of opinion that if are mud was removed from the bottom by dredging, and fresh water turned in, the Serpentine would be very greatly improved, and filtering would then not be required. There would be less inconvenience in getting rid of th 3 mud by dredging than by the "burning" process, but ho was not prepared to recommend the dredging pro cess on account of economy. He did not think there was sufficient water in the Serpentine at the present time to ad mit of its being cleaned out. By Sir J. Shelley—A quarter or half a million gallons of water per diem would keep the Serpentine in a clean state, provided the bottom was thoroughly cleansed. He was aware that Mr. Easton had made a proposition to carry out his plan for the purification of the Serpentine at his own expense in the event of its not being considered to have fully accomplished all that was required. Mr. Easton was a person of great experience, and was not one at all calculated to mislead the public. His plan was a good one, and he thought it ought to be considered by the committee. He did not think the houses in Westminster would be at all injured by:carrying out the plan of Mr. Easton. There was more danger to be apprehended from the making a sewer than from Mr. Easton's well. By Lord Fermoy—He did not place much reliance on the experiment made near the Receiving-house of burning the mud. He did not think it was burned at all, but merely baked. BERIVICIC ELECTION. This committee met this morning, and proceeded with the scrutiny. Nothing of the slightest interest occurred up to the time of our going to press. LA TV INTELLIGENC.E.—(This Day.) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) TUDGNIENT-13ERTOLLACdf V. WILSON. This was an application for an injunction to restrain the sale of mortgage property. His Honour the Master of the Rolls granted the injunc tion and declared it perpetual. His Honour, with consent of counsel (Mr. Lloyd, Q.C.), turned the suit into a foreclosure suit, and granted the usual redemption decree with costs, and dismissed the bill as against the defendant, Mrs. Wilson, with costs, and remitted to the taxing master to tax the oosts, and to look into the proceedings to see in what proportion the property was let, and what was the proper interest of the defendant in it. The defendant un dertaking to pay the plaintiff in equity his costs in the action at law, the one set of costs might be set off against the other. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total importations of foreign stock into London, last week, amounted to 2,025 head.

The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were moderately good, anl in somewhat improved condition. Owing to the large supplies of dead meat now on offer in Newgate and Leadenhall the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per Blbs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,500 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 350 various breeds ; from Scotland 200 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 180 oxen. We were seasonably well supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, except the best Downs. Long-woolled sheep sold heavily at 2d per Sibs less money, but the value of Downs and half-breds was supported. There was rather an improved inquiry for lambs, at from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per 8119 s. Although tho supply of calves was limited Oa veal_ trade was heavy, at 4d to 6d per Blbs Oenes.th last non day's prices. Pigs were in moderate supply, and iwavy request, at barely stationary prices.

STALING WINE AT BEN CAlTNT'is.—William Beardall, lately a waiter at Ben Caunt's, the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's•lane, was charged with robbing his employer of wine under the following circumstances : Eliza Fitzgerald, servant to Mr. Caunt: and bar assistant, said that at about 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, she was washing glasses at the bar, when the pipe leading from the tank was stopped up. Prisoner, who at the time came in, said he would go down and clean it. He went down and came up in 10 minutes, and left the house, he having left Mr. Caunt's service three or four days. James Pratt, potman, proved going down to the coal cellar and finding the wino cellar door open, and the lock on the floor. He told Mr. Caunt of what he had seen. Mr. Caunt said he want to the cellar and missed five bot tles of wine, which had been taken that morning. On searching the eellar he found 20 champagne and other bot tles with their necks off lying about the cellar. Had com plained of the prisoner's conduct several times, and had dis charged him. Ferdinand Folkard, a hairdresser, said the prisoner came into his shop to be shaved, and asked if he would like a glass of wine, and took a bottle out of his pocket. Mr. Beadon said it was a case in which he should re mand him. THAMES. STILL/VIE CONDUCT OF A TAX COLLECTOR.-111T. Wil liams, a respectable tradesman, waited upon Mr. Yardley, to complain of the improper behaviour of a tax collector in the district. The applicant said he was called upon on Wednesday evening last, after six o'clock, by the collector of the district, who demanded £1 3s. 10d. for income-tax and the house-tax. The collector was told it had been paid, on which he demanded the receipt. It could not be found, on which the collector, who brought a broker with him, said he should distrain for the amount. Rather than be inconvenienced by the removal cf his goods the amount was paid under protest. A receipt for one of the taxes, to 'the amount of 10s. 10d., had since been foundird it was taken to the collector, who offered him the money, but detained the receipt. The income.. tax was never paid without the house-tax, or the house-tax without the income-tax, and his (Mr. Wil liams') wife was certain she paid both together in October last. The collector was asked to refund the whole of the 3s. 10d. paid a second time, but he refused to do so. Mr. Yardley—Does the collector still detain the receipt ? Mr. "Williams—Yes, sir. Mr. Yardley recommended the applicant to write imme diately to the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes at Somer set-house, and if they did not express strong disapprobation of the collector's conduct he (Mr. Yardley) should be very much astonished. It was an atrocious piece of carelessness on the part of the collector to call for taxes already paid, a second time. He would give no opinion whatever of the subsequent conduct of the collector in this transaction. He directed Smith, an officer of the court, No. 415 K, to wait upon the collector, and call upon him to do Mr. Williams that justice which he deserved. A telegram has been received, dated Calcutta, Feb 12, announcing the close of the Five-and-a-half per Cent. Loan on that day. The advices by letter are to the Bth of February, and at that date the price both of the Five-and-a-half and Five per Cent. paper had advanced to a point which, at the existing rate of exchange, would leave a loss on the shipment of either to England. A banking correspondent, who has lived for 24 dyears in the midst of a busy manufacturing population of 120,000, states that he has never known an expression of approval more unanimous than that which in his district has greeted the new Bankruptcy Bill of the Attorney General. THE Two STRANDED OUTWARD-BOUND SHIPS IN TILE CHANNEL.—FOLKESTONE, Saturday.—All efforts have failed to get off the two outward-bound ships Wagoola, for China, and Wcodcote, for Adelaide, which went ashore between this port and Dungeness during the snow storm on Saturday night. A large quantity of their cargo has been got out, apparently uninjured, and sent on by rail to Lon don. Captain Russell has been sent dawn by the under writers to superintend the operations, and it is believed that the larger portion of the property will be saved. It is also thought that the ship may be floated next spring tide, but by some this is considered somaqwhat doubtful. 'TIES. 1511 runiz I) EDITION. SUN "OFFICE, - Seven o'clock. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat off the woolsack it five o'clock. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. The LORD CIIANCELLOR presented six petitions in favour of this bill. THE DIVORCE COURT. Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack to the arrears of business in the Divorce Court. He said that was not owing to any incapacity on the part of the learned judge who presided, but was occasioned chiefly by the very limited time the common law judges could de vote to the formation of full courts. The attendance of the common law judges was, as the act of Parliament now stood, a b so lutely necessary before any final judg ment dissolving marriage could be pronounced. He thought it was highly desirable that some alteration should be made enabling the Judge Ordinary to pronounce final judgments, unless he wished certain cases reserved for the consideration of the full court. The LORD CHANCELLOR concurred in the observa tions of the noble a I d l EeaArneNd lord. NCD SAVOY. The Earl of CARNARVON wished to recall, for a few minutes, the recent discussion that had taken place in that house on Friday. He complained of the Duke of New castle's observations upon him in putting the question ho considered it his duty to do on that evening. It was very far from his wish, if it was inconvenient for the noble duke to reply to his question, but he should very muc h like to know whether the noble duke could now do so. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said ho thought the noble marquis was under some mistake with respect to what the noble lord the Secretary of Foreign Affairs had stated with respect to M. Thouvenel's despatch. The noble lord did not say he would lay it on the table with his answer at the earliest opportunity. What the noble lord did say was that as soon as he was enabled to frame an answer, and her Majesty had signified her approval of it, then it with the despatch would be laid on the table of the house. THE NEW TREATY. The Earl of ST. GERMANS brought up her Majesty's reply to the addresses voted by both llouses of Parliament. The royal answer thanked their lordships for the address. - - - ARMY COMMISSIONS. Lord PA.NMITRE gave notice that on the Mutiny Act coming before them he should call attention to the sale of army commissions. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : The Edinburgh Railway Station Access; Blackburn Gas; and West Middlesex Water. THE BALLOT. Lord TEYNHAM, having presented a number of peti tions in favour of vote by ballot, proceeded to move a re solution, to the effect that it was expedient in the elec tion of members to serve in Parliament that the votes of the electors should be taken by secret ballot. The noble lord said, in moving his resolution, he felt that the subject was well worthy of the most attentive consideration of their lordships, especially as it was year by year brought before the other House of Parliament, and the effect of a discus sion in their lordship's house would most likely tend to put many of the opponents of the ballot right, and tend to convert the minority of that house into a majority. It had been said why discuss the question of the ballot in that house, but he found in 1G93, in the 6th of William and Mary, an order of the House of Peers, calling upon theni to give their attendance to consider the ballot. It might be that that notice related to the transaction Of private business, but if such was the case it showed that the ballot had boen considered good for one purpose, and he contended that it ought to be tried on a more extensive scale. (LEFT SPEAKING•) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAY The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Great Westerjßailwav, lledon Corporation and Borough Improvement, Wein and Brouygarth Roads, and York Im provement, .Cc. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Amberg ats, Nottingham, and Boston and Ea tern Junction Rai lwa y and Canal Compan y ; Cheshire Mid land Rail wa y ; East Somerset Railwa y ; Glossop and Marple Bridge Road; London and North - Western Rail way (No. 1) ; London and North-Western Railway (No: rent Branchesuiictionand l e 2) ; Marple New Mills and Hayfield J • Railway; i •. Midland Railway (Burton - upon..T viations) ; Airfield Gas; North B r i t i s h and Peebles and Oxford, Jedburgh Railway Companies; Worcester, and ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR EASTER. In reply to Mr. SPOONER, Lord PALMERSTON said that hon. members had been called together earlier than usual this session, and no doubt were anxious to adjourn for the holidays as soon as possible. However, that adjournment must depend upon the business of the house, itnd there were some bills of a very urgent character to be disposed of. Under these circumstances, he could not say on what day the house would adjourn for the holidays. REFORM BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. DISRALI objected to the principle of the bill, which he concluded proceeded on the bases of members, not in telligence. (LEFT SPEAKING.) MILITARY PRISONS. The report on the discipline and management of the military prisons for 1858 has been presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her Ma jesty, and contains the following statistical infor mation :—The military prisons in operation in 1858 were as follows : England—Chatham, Gosport, Weedon, Devonport, and Aidershott ; Scotland— Greenlaw (near Edinburgh) ; Ireland —Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Athlone. Abroad—Gibraltar, Quebec, Halifax (Nova Scotia), Bermuda, Vide (lonian Islands), St. Elmo (Malta), Mauritius, Bar badoes, and Montreal; making a total of 19 military prisons, of which ten are in the United Kingdom, and nine at different foreign stations, the whole being capable of accommodating about 1,500 pri soners. The report exhibits a considerable varia tion in the prison statistics of 1858 as compared with those of 1857; the number of men punished for minor offences in 1858 has, in comparison, been smaller than in any previous year, except 1857, in dicating an improvement in discipline, and, it may be hoped, a progressive tendency as regards the moral condition of the soldier. The average length of sentences was 99 days in 1849, and 87 in 1854, but it was reduced in 1855 to 77 days, in 1856 to 53 days, in 1857 to 49 days, and in 1858 to 47 days. The statistical tables of the report also announce that although the tendency to desertion has in creased, drunkenness and other crimes in the army have decreased since 1857. The expenditure for • military prisons in the year 1858 was no burden to the country, as the amount of unissued pay and beer money exceeded the prison expenditure by £1,452; the total expenditure being £18,125, and the un issued pay and beer money, which is stopped when the men are in prison, £19,577. The number of corporal punishments inflicted last year was 918, among 219,739 effective men, being 042 per cent.; and the number of deserters branded 2,371, or 1.09 per cent., which unfortunately exhibits an increase for the same offence, when the numbers were—flogged, 545, or 0.34 per cent. ; branded, 1,090, or 0.76 per cent. From the medical returns of the military prisons at home, it appears that the health of the pri soners has improved since 1854. The pro portion of numbers treated for sickness to the total numbers in confinement in 18C4 was nearly 21 per cent., whereas in 1855 it decreased to about 15 per cent. ; in 1857, 16 per cent. ; and in 1858, 15 per cant. This result is at. least a sufficient proof that the reduced scale of diet adopted in August, 1850, and in general operation throughout the yearsBrB 1851, 1852, 1853, 1854, 185 5 , 1856, t 180 i,and o , combined with the system of requiring he seco nd l and third class prisoners to sleep accoutred as if on guard, although it has s isincreasedhown in t t t h e e loss of has s ig n h ot t among the prisoners as as a general rule had any injurious effect on their health. Notwithstanding the apparent effect of the punishment in caesing a considerable average loss o f weight, it is re markable and satisfaFtory th a t t h e n umber treated for sicknessduring the year 1855 was proportionately less than in any year since 1848, with the exception of the year 1855. The following statistics are then given upon punish ments in the army, and with them the report con cludes. In 1843 the number of soldiers imprisoned. at any one time exclusive v s e en o t t e t n h e :se b N y v h c o oli m r i t g m ht a b rt e la i l r; in civil prisons, x confinement by order of commanding officers, was in the ratio of- 20 in 1,000, an d at the same time. the number of corporal punishments amounted to annually about 5.2, making 25. 9 per 1,000. In the three years from 1851 to 1854 the number of im prisonments was reduced t o 11 per 1,000, an d in the four years from 1850 to 1854 the average %lum ber of corporal punishments had been reduced to 2.5 per 1,000, being a little more than one-he If in both Cases, and making a total of 13.5 as corny eared with 25.2. During the year 1858 the average num ber undergoing imprisonment at any one t' Line in the military prisons and barrack cells are ated to 11.9 in 1,000, and the total corporal ptulit .hments in the year amounted to 4.2, making a totw:t of 16.1 per 1,000 for 1858 as comae-- , v;sh 9 .5.2 in 1843.

Lord CASTLEROSSE biought . up the reply of her roost gracious .Majesty to the Address presented on Satur day on the subject of the French commercial treaty, in ac cordance with the vete of both Houses of Parliament. The Royal reply was as folloivs - I thank yen for your most loyal and dutiful, address ; and it is most gratifying to receive your assurance, after having, considered the treaty of commerce which I have Can eluded with the Emperor of the French, that you aro prepared to take steps for assisting me in giving etrect,to a measure calculated to promote a beneficial intercourse hetween this country and France, and will afford additional security for the continuance of peace." BEVERLEY ELECTION.' - Mr. EVANg,7l;echairToan of the committee appointed I to try the merits of the petition against the return of the sitting member for the borough of Beverley, Mr. Walker, brought up the report, wltieh, declared. that, though bribery and treating had been established at the election, they were of opinion that it was without his knowledge or consent, and that he was duly returned. - -- t CHURCH RATES. -r '-.4 '-' A large number of petitions front various partttof the metropolis, and the country generally, were presented, praying for the unconditional abolition of church-rates. Lord I. R ITALY. USSELL brought up addition.la cOrrespon dence relating t o the affairs of Italy, which Was ordered to lie on the table. THE RER . Col. SYKES gave notic e that, B when lLL the Reform Bill was again brought before the house, he would more for the insertion of a clause to the effect amt., on the dissolution of successive Parliaments, after the present Parliament, con stituencies not numbering 1,000 should not be entitled to send representatives to Parlianiciat. Mr. STEEL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if tenants who paid £6 rent and upwards in any City or borough, but whose landlords compounded for the poor rates, would be entitled to vote under the newAeform and if tenants who' paid the HU rent, of and upwards by quarterly or. monthly payments, who held from year to year, would be also entitled to vote; and, if not, how could these parties become so entitled? Lord J. RUSSELL said that tenants paying £6 a year would, under the provisionsof the present bill, be placed in the same position as those who paid £lO a year under the last Reform Bill. With regard to the second question of the hon. member, he considered it to be a matter to be de cided by the revising barrister. ARTILLERY OFFICERS. Captain JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for 'War, whether, taking into consideration the importance attached at the present day to artillery throughout Europe, there was any intention to place'the officers commanding the British artillery in the principal stations abroad and at home, in cluding Aldershot,' in a position compatible with their du ties by giving them the rank of Brigadier-General Mr. S. HERBERT said the subject was under consi deration. TURKISH MEDALS. Mr. COLLINS asked the Secretary of State for War when the Turkish, silver medals which bad been received from the Ottoman Government, would be issued to those officers and non-commissioned officers who were entitled to the same, who are now serving in regiments of militia. Mr. S. HERBERT said that the vessel in which these medals had, been sent. had gene to the bottom, and under the circumstances he could give the hun. member no infor mation. (Laughter.) NICE. Mr. KINGLAKE moved the adjournment of the house, in order to enable him to ask the noble lord some questions in reference to an important subject which he had formerly brought before the house. He never rose to ad dress the house with greater pleasure than he did on the p:e out occasion, for he had just received from Nice intel:i gene() of a very gratifying character. That intelligenc 3 was to the effect that the Municipal Council of Nice had agreed to an annexation to Sardinia, and repudiated any annexa tion to France. (Hear.) In the declaration of that wish they expressed a hope that if Nice could not be annexed to Sardinia, they might be erected into an independent Suite. A deputation had left Nice for Turin to carry to the King of Sardinia the resolutions embodying these views of the council. That ,council had also passed It vote of thanks to two members of this house—namely, the merdber for Horsham awl the hon. hart. the member for Tamworth. (Hear, and laughter.) He wished to know if her Majesty's Government had received a note from the Government of Switzerland expressing on behalf of that State a desire to appeal to the great Powers of Europe in referenee"to this subject, and whether they would delay their final answer to M. Thouvenel until that appeal had been received Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the Government had not received any such notice as that alluded to. With'regard to the other question of the hon. member, he appealed to the house for their forbearance. A despatch of great im portance had been received from M. Thouvenel, and he trusted that her Majesty's Government would be permitted to deliberate freely on the answer they would return to that despatch. (Hear, hear.)
