A mo orate amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices tended downwards. The sales amounted to about 8,000 bales. The importance of a cheap and extensive tele graph communication throughout the United King -lom has led to the introduction of " The United lingdom Electric Telegraph Company," which, stinting with a capital of £150,000, proposes to eontect some of the principal commercial towns, upon Allan's system of electro-telegraph, which it 1 4 averred will ensure economy in the preliminary col, and the working expenses. It is proposed to establish a low and uniform rate, viz., ls. for a short message for any distance ; and as a similar system has lento the most productive results on the con tinent, larticularly in Switzerland, there is every reasox to anticipate the same, if not a greater de gree of success, in this country. The meeting of the Grand Surrey Dock and Canal Company has just been held, when the re- Port di s t r ib uted to the proprietors was unanimously adopted. The official returns relating to trade and navi gation for the six months ending the 30th June has been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of exports from the United Kingdom for the six months ending the 30th June has been £62,019,989, against £63,003,159 in the like period of 1859, showing a decrease of £983,170. The deerease is most perceptible in coals and culm, cotton goods, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufac tures, railway iron, silk fabrics, and woollen and worsted manufactures. The importations of the prinoipal .rtioied are larger as regards Live animals, cocoa, coffee, barley, Indian corn, raw cotton, fruit, hides, provisions, saltpetre, rum, sugar, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool. There is a diminution, however, in wheat, flour, quicksilver, and timber. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom, for the six months, of 358,553 for the entries inwards, and of 158,477 for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the six months, 380,802 tons more were employed than in the correspond ing period of 1859 for the entries inwards, and 656,201 tons for the clearances outwards. Continued dulness pervades the market for Public Securities, but in consequence of purchases on speculative account, prices have tended upwards, Consols having been 93-: 1, but they are now a grade flatter, viz., 931 Z, improvement having been checked by the receipt of lower prices from the Paris Bourse. The New 3 per Cents. are firmer at 93: 4 ; the Reduced at 934 India Stock is steady at:2l7 and 219 ; ditto New Loan at 1044 ; ditto 5 per Cent.

A correspondent of the Nazione Writes from Cortona, on July 3—" S ome poor pea.santa of a v ill age near the borders of the Italian kingdom, but still subject to the dominion of Cardinal Antonelli, have charged me to for ward to you the s ma ll sum of 16 Italian lire for the Sicilian cause, excusing. the poorn ess o f the offering, and beggin that it may be taken as the expression of their affection fogr the Italian cause, and of hatred for the clerical rule, soon about to end." A prospectus has been issued of the United King dom Electric Telegraph Company for introducing a system of electric communication on the Post •office principle of a uniform charge irrespective of distance. The rate proposed is a shilling•for a short message to any part of the United Kingdom. Mr. Allar.'s patents are to be used, and these, it is alleged, effect a saving in labour which will greatly reduce the working expenses. The capital of the com pany is to be £150,000, in shares of £5 each. THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—W e find the follow ing in the Independent of Saintes :—" The crops have al ready begun to cut in our neighbourhood ; the corn is round and well filled. It will very likely be a far better harvest than that of last year. The wine has passed bloom ; there is very little loss. It can be said that the vintage is safe - it will be very a b undant here, and surpass that of 1858," SHARE 31ARKE71-(TIIIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. Paid. Closing I Business Prise.

The Lords' Amendment to the Bedford and Cambridge Railway, Lincoln's Inn, and London and South Western Railway (Kingston Railway Extension, &c.) Bills were considered and agreed to.

Another series of experiments with the rifled cannon of Mr. Joseph Whitworth, C.E. of Man chester, was commenced yesterday, upon the beach near Southport. The site was the same as those upon which the experiments were conducted a few months ago ; but the circumstances were very different. Then, Mr. Whitworth was trying an arm, not unknown, but really untested ; but the results, for accuracy of line-firing and extent of range, taken as a whole, we believe to be still unequalled. Since then, he has shown how com pletely his 801 b bolt, at 200 yards' distance, smashed through 4in. plates of iron sheathing, and the timbers and frame of a mortar-boat ; and yes terday, the experiments at Southport were in effect altogether in the hands of the chosen representa tives of the Government. There were present yesterday General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., R.E., Inspector General of Fortifications ; Col. St. George, for the War Office ; Col. B inghant (a member of the Defence Committee), for his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief; Capt. Moore, R.N., secretary to the Duke of Somer set, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Capt. Herbert, of the gunnery ship, Excellent, at Portsmouth ; Capt. Halstead, who has, we believe, a command in con nection with the gunboat squadron ; Capt. Egerton, of the St. George; Lieut.-Colonel T. B. F. Mar riGtt, R.A., and Captain Wrottesley, R.A.; Lieut.- General Sir G. A. Wetherall, K.C.8., com manding the northern and midland districts, and Lieutenant-Colonel Shadwell, assistant-adjutant general; Captain Lake, late of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and a " Waterloo hero," kc. There were also on the ground about a score of blue jackets from the Excellent, who were specially in the charge of Lieutenant Austen ; and three brigadiers and 10 gunners of the Royal Artillery, chiefly of the Coast-guard Brigade, from the detachment at the North Fort on the Mersey, who were in the charge of Lieutenant Marshall. The non-professional spectators included Ivie Mackie, Esq., mayor of Manchester; J. W. Weston, Esq., mayor of Salford ; Aldermen Sir Elkanah Armitage and Sir James Watts ; Messrs. William Marshall, George Wilson, and Blacklock, directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com pany, with other members of that board ; Mr. Joseph Heron, town clerk, and Captain Palin, chief constable of Manchester ; with a large number of other professional and non-professional gentlemen, including some of the chief officers of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. There were four guns upon the shore,—an 80- pounder, a 12-pounder, a 3-pounder, and a 1- pounder, the last never having been seen in public previously. That reason, perhaps, induced the spec tators to wish for a sample of what such a mounted walking-cane-like weapon could do; but the wish was not gratified—doubtless for some sufficient reason. The fine day and the present crowded state of Southport attracted a much larger concourse of persons than was seen at any of the previous ex periments. Of course Mr. Whitworth was present, with his partner, Mr. Wall, and some of his chief assistants ; but they rendered only such assistance as was asked, except that in the earlier parts of the day the skilful gunner of Mr. Whitworth's who had before so well " laid" the guns, occa sionally supervised the sighting. At half-past eleven o'clock the artillerymen took charge of the 12 pounder, from which they fired in succession 50 rounds. The results, as ascertained at a late hour, may be thus summarised :- 12-rouxoEn : ELEVATION, 10 DEG.; CHARGE, 2LB. Yards Yards Deviat ion Yards Yards Deviation Range. from Line of File.

The divergences were mainly owing to that which must always Billet any body of men, however well trained— want of acquaintance with a new weapon : ELEVATION, 7 DEGS. ; CHARGE, LE. 1. 3160 .... 1 1-3 d Right I 6. 3119 .... 1 1-3 d Right 2. 039 5 1-3 d „ 7. 3122 2 17 3. 3233 .... 2 1-3 d „ 8. 3037 .. 1.3 d „ 4. 3043 ..

ELEVATION 3 DEGS. : CHARGE, 14 1.8. It has many times been alleged that " the Whit worth cannot fire shell as well as shot ; so that the Armstrong, which can do both, has an incon testable superiority." We have throughout known that the allegation was based upon an assumption that a thing not done from want of time, could not be done at all; and we submit the follow. ing results to the heretofore objectors. Of course, the Whitworth shell was not charged, and was therefore lighter than the shot-a remark which we doubt not applies equally to all known experi ments with the Armstrong gun and shell. SHOT.

LB. This gun was not fired at less than 3 degs. in the previous experiments; but a nearly point-blank range is considered by artillery officers a most im portant one for real work in the field ; so that the firing was watched with great interest by the officers and also by Mr. Whitworth. These were the results :- 1 787 .... 1-6 Right. 6. 875 .... 1-3 Left. 2. 843 .... 1-3 Left. 7. 829 .... 2.3 „ 3. 771 .... 1-3 Right. 8. 827 .... 1-3 Right. 4. 794 .... 1 3 Left. I 9. 823 .... 2-3 Left. 5. 757 .... 2 „ 10. 886 .... 1-3 „ The ricochetting of both shot and shell was, profes sionally speaking, " beautifully "-that is, they touched and flew from the ground many times, never rising high, so that, amongst bodies of men and horses, they would have "told" constantly and well. As to the divergence from the true line of fire, the figures speak for themselves ; as to the range, we heard something spoken by men whom we have no doubt at all spoke from expe rience, but we give the remarks " for what they are worth." Briefly, it was said that the Arm strong 12-pounder has never, at 1 deg. of elevation, sent its projectile more than a very little over 600 yards for its " first graze ;" and that an old smooth bore iron regulation gun was always thought to have done capital work if, under like circum stances, it cleared 400 yards. The Whitworth gun gave, as above, an average of close upon 800 yards with solid shot, and of very nearly 850 yards with shell. The 12-pounder gun was now removed; and the officers and men from the Excellent took charge of the 80-pounder for which they had been specially sent to Southport. As they are well up with heavy ordnance rather than with that of the lighter calibres, and as the RO-pounder atilt remains upon its old ship's carriage, the appropriateness of the manning must be evident. The low elevation of 1 degree was adhered to ; the lowest previously at Southport having been, we think, 3 deg. These were the re turns as to the only ten rounds fired :- 80-FOUNDER : ELEVATION 1 DEG.; CHARGE 12LB. Yards. Yards. Yards. Yards. Range. Deviation. Range.

The ricochetting of these huge bolt-projectiles was very fine to look at, but very terrible to think of, in the matter of effect. If the officers of high rank present, or any of them, entertained the opinion that "bolts" were so far useless in the field that they would always have a very decided ten dency t* bury themselves in soft ground, rather than to ricochet, we fancy that yesterday's practice at 1 deg. must have disabused them of that opinion, as it was very probably meant to be a practical test of the doubt. Even in the Southport sands, the grazes showed that the 801 b. shot did not tend to • bury themselves any more than was unavoidable from their mere weight ; for the grazes were well defined, never deep, and always beautifully hollowed from the ends to the centre hammock fashion. Those who had good glasses said that they more than once saw and counted from ten to a dozen contacts ; 5 or 6 could generally be seen with the unaided eye. The ranges, too, were said to be highly satisfactory, even for a gun that had already gained such a good reputation. We have little more to add as to yesterday's firing, which, with the experiments last noticed, was brought to a conclusion shortly before six o'clock. Of course, the deputed officers will have to make their reports on many points, and were not likely to express decided opinions upon any, espe cially when they have to experiment further. But " men are men ;" and men in both services know best what is meant by " handling" ordnance light or heavy. It was almost impossible, then, for any persons near the guns yesterday to avoidhearin hearing rem arks to the effect-" Well, they do give pre cious little trouble ; and " How clean they do keep, to be sure." Good practical comments, which CAR ' non makers will not be the last to appreciate. We heard a group of the experts broken upon with, "But Armstrong's guns don't watt sponging now, do they ?" The answer was finely characteristic; but the manner of the speaker is needed for a full comprehension of it. " Yes, they do, and they dor.'t," said this jovial son of experience. " Washing mayn't be sponging, but it's very like it ; and them guns must be washed. Look ye. Armstrong's got 56 grooves altogether; that (with a point to the 80 pounder) ha'nt none—at least that I call a groove. Well, Armstrong's shot and shell have lead round them ; that ha'nt any. Lead will get into what I call grooves; and you must wash it out now and then. Leastwise, if you don't, every shot after wards will:strip, and won't have any rotarymotion, and you can't tell what them shot'll do." A stream of tobacco juice followed, that would have made envious many a, good Yankee " spitter." The experiments will be resumed to-day--Ilfate chester Guardian. REpoRT ON THE STATB OF THE AT LANTIC CABLE IN TRINITY BAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg to forward you a copy of the official report of Mr. Varley and Captain Kell, relative to the attempts which have been made at Newfound land to restore the cable to working order, and which, I regret to say have ended unsuccessfully.— Yours truly, _ _ _ GEO. SAWARD, Secretary, Atlantic Telegraph Company, 22, Old Broad•street, July 25, 1860. The Atlantic Telegraph Company, St. John's, Newfoundland, July 3, 1860. After repeated attempts to raise the cable by grapneling, in order to test its electrical condition, and with a view to land it at New Perlican, as instructed by the board, we re gret having to report that, although we have on many oc casions been able to raise the bight, and so get on board at different times pieces of the cable, in all amounting to about seven miles, we have invariably found it broken again a few miles off. The log which Capt. Bell will ftirnish will give the de tails of the proceedings in full. The weather up to the 12th of June had been so bad that grapneling operations were impracticable, and even while writing is cold and unsettled, the season here having been unusually late and boisterous. On the 17th of June water was frozen in the pails during the night; the noon following, however, was oppressively hot; cold dense fogs and strong winds have been frequent ever since. The plan of operations was as follows : On the 12th of June Capt. Kell succeeded in fishing up and buoying the end, after recovering three-quarters of a mile of cable. On the 14th operations were resumed, and three miles and a half of cable recovered, when the old fault, the frac ture already reported to you by Captain Kell, came on board; a flag buoy was anchored at the spot where the same came up. - On the 20th Mr. Varley arrived at New Perlican, and Captain Kell also. A consultation was immediately held on this and the fol lowing day, when it was unanimously agreed that the as sistance of a steamer and extra men should be obtained. Captain Kell, having refitted, started for Bull's Arm, and Mr. Varley left for St. John's on the 21st. On the 2?d the cable was hooked in 90 fathoms, and parted both ways, the bight and a short piece of cable com ing on board. 25th. The cable was hooked again, but parted when within 15 fathoms of the surface, as it had done on several previous occasions. 26th. Mr. Varley arrived in a steam tug, having during the previous night, on his passage from St. John's encoun tered such a heavy gale that they had to take shelter. 27th. The steamer left Rix Harbour, in a dense fog and stiff breeze, to examine buoys in position. While out the weather suddenly cleared and moderated, and the sea calmed by the drenching rain; grapneling was resumed in 114 fathoms ; the cable was hooked several times, and, with one exception, parted before reaching the surface ; care was taken to buoy the spot the moment the cable broke, and by grapneling from a quarter to half a mile east of the buoy, we hoped to succeed in raising the bight, and did at last get it on board. On testing the cable towards Ireland, it was found to be broken a very short distance from the vessel, three-quarters of a mile of cable being recovered before it parted again at a weak place. 28th. The wind and sea too high for working, a fresh con sultation was held as to the best mode of proceeding, and it was resolved to go further out at once, hoping thereby to avoid the rocky ground and the bad state of the cable. 29th. Grapneling was resumed three miles further east, soon after getting to work the weather suddenly changed, and the sea razz so high that we had to run into harbour. 30th. Recommenced operations with steamer and boats, in calm but densely foggy weather ; the fog just cleared up long enough to determine our position, the Industry was accordingly anchored in 130fathorns as a beacon, and grap neling performed by the steamer. The cable was hooked at least three times, and probably more, during the day, but broke before reaching the surface. At last a bight came on board ; the cable at this spot being unusually good for about 30 yards, the outer end was found to be broken about 200 yards off. About two miles of the inner end were re covered, when it parted again at a weak place, where there was nothing but the gutta percha covered wire left; this, however, was just able to bring the cable to the surface, when it snapped before it could be secured by a stopper. The point where we last grapneled this day was a little east of a straight line joining Tickle Point and Copper Island, in 140 fathoms water. Although mud is shown on the charts, there are moat unquestionably rocks also, as was too plainly indicated by the state of the cable, rock-weed and sea animalcule ad hering to and surrounding it in many places, showing that it had been suspended clear of the bottom. The cablo was invariably hauled in by hand to avoid un necessary strain. The recovered cable varied in condition very much, and what is most important is, that even those portions which came out of the black mud were so perished in numerous patches that the outer covering parted on board during the process of hauling in, and but for the dexterity and courage of the men in seizing hold of it beyond the b rea k, where the iron wires struck out like bunches of highly sharpened needle points, we should not have known so much of its condition. In a word, it was evidently sometimes embedded in mud, sometimes on small stones, sometimes half embedded, and sometimes wholly exposed over rocks, as was apparent from the condition of the outer covering. Tho iron wires in many places often appeared sound ; but on minute inspection were found eaten away and rotten. The serving was also decayed. In some places the iron wires were coated with metallic copper and much eaten, they having most probably rested upon copper ore, for there are veins of it in Trinity Bay. The gutta percha and copper wire are, however, in as good condition as when laid down. The general ragged, precipitous, and rocky character of the surrounding land evidently extends below the surface of the water. The unevenness of our soundings and con dition of the cable indicate this most plainly. We accordingly decided upon leaving the neighbourhood of Bull's Island altogether, as the cable in its present state at that part of the bay will not repay the cost of recovery. We agreed simul . aueously to attempt to raise the cable off Heart's Content, and ascertain its condition there, this being the most promising part of the bay, from the infor mation we have been able to collect. Accordingly on the Ist of July we sailed to New Perli can, and made preparations to start at three a.m. on Mon day morning. On the 2d of July sailed from Nay Perlican at three a.m., and grapneled for the cable in a smooth sea. At 7 a.m. we hooked in 143 fathoms water in a straight line joining the north point of St. John's Harbour and the south point of New Perlican, at a distance from the latter of about six nauts. Haying take' bearings, grapneling was resumed half a mile nearer to the entrance of Trinity i'ay, and the cable again and again hooked, each time about half a mile north of the previous run. The cable was during the day hooked at least four times, we believe more. It sometimes lifted off the ground before arting as much as 40 fathoms, sometimes only 15 ; in no instance did it come near the surface of the water. On two occasions the iron stands of the cable left most unmistakable impressions on the grapnel, and iron rust, resembling that usually found on the cable, adhered to its claws. The bottom consisted of green mud and light-coloured clay, the latter very compact, and in consistency not much unlike the blue clay of London. Some parts of the bottom were of stone. Raving found it quite impossible to raise the cable, we concluded, after careful conside ra ti on , t o ma k e a l as t but hopeless trial off Break Heart Point, at the mouth of Trinity Bay, and, if successful, to take the steamer and men to St. JQhn'e, to avoid further expense. Oh 3d July the steamer sailed from New Perlican at 6.6 a.m., and reached Break Heart Point a little before 4 p.m. We grapneled for the cable from about 61 miles off, in 165 fathoms water, to within 11 miles of the Point, where the water was still over 100 fathoms. We did not succeed in finding it, and had we done so, the " Atlantic roll" setting into the bay was so heavy and Ike current running out so strong that we could not possibly have raised it to the surface, but only have determinCd its position. It is quite possible that the cable was hooked without being perceived by us, owing to the depth of water and to the fact that the cable, especially where laid over stone, is very rotten. At six miles out the bottom consisted of clay covered by a thin stratum of mud, the same as that off New Per lican. At about four and a half or five miles off, the bottom ap peared to consist of stones, and this continued to within a mile and a half of the " point," where the water was very deep. Those portions of the recovered cable that were wrapped with tarred yarn were sound, the tar and hemp having pre served the iron wires bright and free from rust. This will be further reported on when the pieces of re covered cable have been more closely examined. inform It is with aeepiegr et that we have to you that it has been nesessary to abandon the cable.

THE GOVERNMENT MORTAR BOATS.—lntelli gence has been received in Bristol that two of the mortar boats built for Government during the late Russian War (Nos. 49 and 50) by Mr. William Patterson, the builder of the Great We s t ern , R oya l Ch arter, an d Groat Britain steam-vessels, have been duly examined, andlhave proved equal in construction ' and soundness to the gunboats Ear. nest and Escort, built by Mr. Patterson, and which stood almost alone in the recent supervision. AN " ASTROLOGER" DETECTED. —A man who has lately set up as an astrologer in Gloucester was waited on a short time since by a policeman in plain clothes. Ig norant of the trap, the astrologer drew the policeman's horoscope. For the small sum of five shillings, the stars were announced to declare that the inquirer would meet with a railway accident and go abroad in 1863, where a foreign lady would fall in love with him, and offer him poison to drink, which he was not to have ; he was to re turn to England in 1886, when he would speculate in houses. Many other predictions were made, b ut as soon as the seance was concluded, the policeman announced his real character, and carried off the astrologer to th e station house.—KeaneB J3atli paper, IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAM. took the chair at ten minutes after 12 o'clock> CORONERS' BILL. On the motion of Sir G. LEWIS the order for the second reading of this bill was discharged, and the bill was with drawn. GUNPOWDER, &c., BILL. On the motion for going into committee en this bill, Mr. LIDDELL asked the Home Secretary, who had • charge of the bill, whether it would be practicable to post pone it until the manufacturers, whose interests its provi sions materially affected, had time to consider the different clauses. Sir G. LEWIS said that any further postponement would be equivalent to abandoning the bill this session, considering this was the last day on which the Lords would receive bills from the house, He bad been in communica tion with those persons who were interested in this branch of manufacture, and had modified the bill in accordance with the views they had expressed. The bill had been reprinted some days, but it had been kept in order to meet the wishes of the trade. If the house would consen ,, to pass the clauses, he would on the bringing up of the report introduce alterations, in order to render this bill suitable to the wishes of the parties chiefly interested. The house then went into committee, and clause 1 with some amendments was agreed to. The remaining clauses were also agreed to, and the house resumed. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION, dec., BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill , Sir G. LEWIS said at the late stage of the session of Parliament, and with a view to prevent further objection to the bill, he would withdraw clauses 6,7, 8,9, and 11, which referred to the management of the chapter property, and also clauses 17 to 19. Mr. SELWYN inquired of the right hon. baronet if he would consent to withdraw clause 36. Sir G. LEWIS answered in the affirmative. Lord J. MANNERS said that on both sides of the haulm great dissatisfaction was expressed with respect to the management of the Ecclesiastical Commission, and he strongly objected to conferring on that irresponsible body more extensive powers than even they already possessed, or giving them perpetuity. He hoped the right hon. baronet would also withdraw clauses 5, 15, and 16, which proposed to transfer eventually to the commission sitting in White,.. hall, the sole management of the episcopal e.nd capital or property of the country. If his suggestions were not acceded to he would feel himself called upon 'co offer every possible impediment to the progress of this measure. (Hear, hear.) Alderman COPELAND objected to the commission on the ground of the expense of its management, which re quired a cost of £171,000 in distributing a fund of £8,110,000. Mr E. JAMES said that, notwithstanding the tempta tion of Government to pass one bill this session —(laughter), —he hoped they would not proceed with the present mea sure. To show the mismanagement of the Commission he referred to the parish of St. Pancras, where the greJatest spiritual destitution prevailed. Tie ecclesiastical ccminis sion had been appealed to by the rector for assis'cance to wards building a church, and they advanced 430 towards: the purchase of ground, which they afterwards sold for' £46,000 to the railway company. If this bill passed that large amount would go into a common fund, and would, be lost to the parish. Mr. AYRTON considered they should go into committee, as the means best calc u l a t e d t o remove the evils criraplained of with regard to the commission.: After a few words from Mr. MorainAr and. Mr. RIDLEY, Mr. WALPOLE strongly advocated the house going into committee, and supported the hill in its general object, as being based on the report of a select committee. The house then went into committee, and clauses 1 to were agreed to. On clause 5, Sir G, LEWIS said that the noble lord opposite (Lard J. Manners) said it was not his intention to force it or. the committee. He would state its nature, and then let.eve it to the house to decide whether they would reject or re tain it. By that clause it was enacted that, on the voidance of any see, the ecclesiastieal commission in possession of the estates of the late bishop should produce a larger income than that fixed by law, and they might make arrangements to reduce it to that amount.. He hoped the committee would agree to the clause, but it. was not essential to the bill. Lord J. MANNERS opposed the clause, the effect of which, he contended, would be to induce bishops to abstain from making improvements in order to avoid the imputation of having been in receipt of more than they should have possessed, while, on the other hand, they might be subjected to another imputation, that of having: been negligent of the interests of their successors. The noble lord concluded by moving the omission of the clause.. After some discussion, Lord J. RUSSELL said ho was not 'at present aware how the law stood, but he considered that a clause of this description was necessary to enable the commission to deal with the changes that might take place in the property of a see. He thought it most desirable that the commission should possess such power, for the property of a bishopric might be largely increased is value by the discovery of a mine or other circumstances, and, on the contrary, it might be reduced in value. He thought the clause was too stringent in its character, and proposed the substitution of words leaving it to the discre tion of the commission to interfere in regard to the pro perty of a see, instead of being compelled to do so . After some further conversation, the amendment for the omission of the clause was negatived, and an amendment embodying the suggestion of Lord J, Russell was agreed to. Some other clauses were also agreed to. On clause 15, Mr. RIDLEY moved the following amendment : " Page 6, line 27, after Chapter,' leave out and the Ec clesiastical Commissioners may advance out of the common fund,' and insert, and it shall be lawful for the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty to advance.' " Some discussion ensued, in which Lord J. Manners, Mr. Mowbray, Lord H. Vane, and other hon. members took part. Sir G. LEWIS defended the clause. He considered that if the house were of opinion that bishops had no right to re ceive money for permanent improvements they should re ject the clause, bat not otherwise. The amendment was ultimately withdrawn. Some verbal amendments were introduced, and the clause as amended was adopted. On clause 16, Lord J. MANNERS repeated what he had previously stated, that the effect of this as well as some other clauses which had been agreed to, would be to place the manage ment of the whole of the Church property in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commission. It had been said that the commission did not desire to have the management of the estates of bishops, and, if that were the case, the elause which gave the commission the power was unnecessary. He strongly opposed the clause, and moved its omission. Mr. FREELAND entirely concurred with the noble lord (Lord J. Manners), and hoped he would press his amend ment to a division, as he considered the clause had a most objectionable tendency to centralisation. Sir G. LEWIS explained that the clause was merely per missive, and gave the power to the commission to undertake ' the management of the estate of a bishop when the prelate was not disposed to do so. As regarded the bishops, if he were correctly informed, the clause was not disagreeable to them, so that the noble lord was " Hibernier ipsis Hiber nicis," or more prelatical than the prelates themselves. After a few words from Mr. Mowbray, Mr. Walter, Mr. Briscoe, Mr. George, Mr, Deedes, and Lord J. Manners, Mr. CAYLEY invited an expression of opinion from Sir James Graham, who had formerly dissented from the view now taken by the advocates of the clause. Sir J. GRAHAM said ho was not responsible for the clause ; but, looking at the course of legislation which the house had adopted, and considering that the clause made it entirely optional with the prelacy to retain or resign the management of the estates, and also that by the resigning that management they would be leit to the efficient discharge of these spiritual duties, he would, at the risk of being charged with inconsis tency, vote for the clause. The committee then divided on the motion that the clause stand part of the bill— Ayes . 159 Noes 4l Majority --118 The clause was accordingly agreed to. Ou clause 20, Mr. AYRTON proposed an amendment, providing that any surplus funds arising from the metropolis should be applied to meeting the spiritual wants of the metropolis, instead of being applied to other parts of the country. On a division the numbers were— For the amendment .. 42 Against it Majority .. -96 The amendment was lost, and the clause was agreed to. The Chairman reported progress, and the house resumed. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (1858) AMENDMENT THE LORDS AND THE PAPER TAX. Mr. TITUS SALT presented a petition from a public meeting held at Bedford, praying the house to maintain its privilege in respect to taxation. MILITIA BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. GAS (METROPOLIS) BILL. This bill, with some amendments, went through com mittee. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION, &c., BILL. The committee on this bill was resumed. On clause 22, Mr. AYRTON considered this clause unnecessary, and that it should be struck out. It recognised a principle, the practical effect of which was, that if a person was rich and gave money, he was entitled to receive a contribution out of the public fund. Sir G. LEWIS said that the clause was merely permis sive, and he could not understand what injustice it could inflict. The clause was then agreed to, as were clauses 23 to 28 inclusive. On clause 29, Mr. PULLER moved the following resolution, which was agreed to :--i‘ Every such lease for 21 years shall, on the application of the lessee, and on payment of a propor tion of the accustomed fine, be extendible to the said 11th day of October, 1884, and a like extension, at the accus tomed rate of fine, shall, either for or irrespectively of the purposes of sale, purchase, or exchange, be allowed in the case of any lease for lives, the extent and value of which shall be computed by arbitrators, in default of an agree ment between the parties to be less than the extent and value of a term ending on the said 11th day of October, 1884." The clause as amended and clause 3 were adopted. On clause 2, Mr. INGRAM moved the - following additiofial provision, which was agreed to :—" That whenever any Ecclesiasti cal Corporation or the Ecclesiastical Commissioners shall decline to enter into a treaty with a lessee for either the sale of the reversion or the purchase of the term of or in lands held by such lessee, it shall nevertheless be lawful for such lessee, at any time before the expiration of the said lease, to require that his estate and interest therein shall be purchased by the Ecclesiastical Corporation or the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, as the case may be, so de clining to treat as aforesaid, and that the value of such estate and interest shall be ascertained by such methods and with such extension of the unexpired term on his said lease as are by this Act provided in respect of other leaseholds." Mr. B. CARTER then moved the following amend ment :—"At end of clause 32, add, 'and where such lease shall relate to building ground, it shall be lawful for the arbitrator or arbitrators or umpire, as the case may be, simply to find the gross sum to be paid for such sale or en franchisement, in such manner as he or they may deem just ; provided also, that regard shall be had to any con sideration given to the lessee by this account of the long continued practice of renewal." Sir J. GRAHAM considered this question was so im portant that it should be postponed until the report had been brought up, and he deprecated anything like party legislation in reference to the subject. Sir G. LEWIS said that before adopting the principle of arbitration in refer.-nce to church property, they should provide for the selection of an arbitrator, so as not to leave the question to chance. He thought that that appoint ment might be vested in the Home Secretary or some other responsible officer of the Crown. Some discussion followed. Sir G. LE WIS said he was prepared to accept the amendment, but when the report was brought up he would insert a clause limiting the arbitration to house property. The amendment was adopted, and the clause with the amendments was agreed to. Clauses 33 to 43' inclusive were agreed to, and clauses 44, 45, and 46 were omitted. LAW INTELLIGENOE.-(T1118 DAY), COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) JUDGMEXT-OGILVIE V. JEA.ITRESON. His Honour the Vice •Chancellor said—ln this case the Court must decide which of several interested parties ought to bear the loss resulting from a gross fraud practised on the plaintiff by his solicitor. The plaintiff, under a false statement, was induced to sign an assignment of the mort gage of his property, alleging that it was a lease of hit. lease hold property required to be granted by him. By this fraudulent contrivance he executed a deed by which he conveyed the whole of the property which he held in mortgage. He now claims this property which has been fraudulently conveyed away from him and afterwards sold to the defendant by the gross fraud practised on him by his own solicitor (Hughes). The defendants claim the pro perty as purchasers for valuable consideration without notice. The question raised was upon which of the parties the 1 0 0 43 should fall. The defendant alleged that it was the duty of the plaintiff to know the state of his own titles, and not to execute assignments that he did not understand, and must bear the loss. The plaintiff contended that it was the duty of the defendants, before they made the pur chase, to examine the state of the titles, and if they had done so they would have discovered the fraud practised on the plaintiff, and that the convey ance of the property to them was a fraudulent conveyance. His Honour, after referring to the decision of Lord Brougham, in the case of Kennedy and Green ; Lord St. Leonard, in Merrywether 7 Drury ; Sir John Leech, in Kennedy and Brown; Austin and Shield—Blackburn ; Giffard and Lane, and Holwell and Lane—Lord Eldon ; an d particularly the evidence of Catherine Jones, who dis claimed all interest in the property conveyed to the de fendants—came to the conclusion that the deed of April, 1856, was fraudulently obtained from the plaintiff, and ordered the four deeds by which the defendants hold his property to be delivered up to be cancelled. Catherine Jones to have her costs, and each party bears his own costs—no costs on either side. POLICE INTELLIGENC-E-( THIS Dill. MARLBORO UGH -STREET. DARING ROBBERY OF A MERCHANT'S WATCH.—Emma Drinkwater and William Cole were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch of the value of L 6, the property of M. Jean Alexandre Suisse, a French merchant, staying at 28, Panton 'street, Haymark e t. The prosecutor (who gave his evid ence through M r. Albert, the interpreter) said that abo u t 12 t h e prev i ous n i g ht the female came up to him and he several times pushed her away. The last time he did so he felt his watch go from his pocket, and seizing her hands found that the watch was in one of them, and with her other hand she detached the watch, breaking the chain. The mart then crossed from the other side of the street and seized one of the female's arms, as he at first supposed to assist him (prosecutor) but he immediately started off, and he had no doubt with his watch, which was of the value of £6, and bore his name. The prisoners put several questions t o th e prosecu t or , but at length gave in, saying it was no u se . A us tin, 318 A, proved picking up the watch at the spot where the male prisoner was stopped. Sergeant Silverton said if a remand were granted he should be able to prove a conviction against the prisoners. The prisoners said they would plead guilty, and were committed for four months each. The prisoners seemed very much pleased at the decision, the male prisoner having expressed his f ear t h a t i t wou ld be " transportation this time." ARMSTRONG GUNS. WORKMEN GONE TO FRANCE.—Since the recent strike which occurred in the Armstrong gun factories at the Royal Arsenal, a large number of hands have left the establishment, and the vacancies have been filled up as far as possible by the em ployment of men from Sir W. Armstrong's factory at Els wick and from Scotland. About 20 experienced workmen, who have given the usual notice to leave, are about to pro ceed to Rouen, having entered into an engagement with an agent of the French Government for a certain term of em ployment in the manufacture of rifled ordnance. The Toronto Colonist says that the quartz mining fever rages with increasing violence, that half the people are ".prospecting," and that every corner is filled with " ape. mmens." Sir W. Logan had pronounced a specimen as genuine, and an experienced Californian miner states that the quartz found in Granby exhibited indications of great richness, FOREIGN MINES.
