Lord STEATIIEDEN laid on the table a bill exempting militia, yeomanry, and volunteers from serving on grand juries. The bill was read a first time. Their lordships then proceeded to further consider the bill for the improvement of the tenure of land in Ireland. [LEFT SPEAKING. I :HOUSE OF CONINIONS.—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE MURDER AT DOVER. Mr. CARDI\ 3 EIAL, in reply to a question from Mr. P. Taylor, said it was quite true that Corporal Barnes had been suspected of insanity, and had been 53 days in the hlspital and then discharged, on;the surgeon pronounci ng him not insane, and that ho continued to perform his duties properly and well. Tie was, howeever, of opinion that neglect 41 not attach to the surgeon, and the Di rector-General was about to communicate officially with DOVER HOUSE. - Mr CARDWELL, in reply to Mr. Shaw, said it was not true that Goveinmeut had purchased the lease of Dover House. The best mode of conducting the business of the Horse Guards and War-office would be by having the two departments under one roof, and that matter was now under consideration. IRISH RAILWAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. 0. Gore, said that Government were aware of the strong wish of the Irish representatives and other persons of great influence that a measure with respect to t he Government taking the Irish railways in hand, and that a bill to that effect might be formed on the second report of the commissionersappointed to inquire into the subject, but Government thought other methods might be thought of, and therefore lie could pro mise that the subject should r. ceive that respectful consi deratiun to which it was entitled. It would bi wrong for him, at the present moment, to give any answer that might lead to any anticipation as to what that measure would THE TEMPLE COLLECTION. Mr. WA L POLE, iii reply to Mr. Lowther said it was quite true that other objects of a similar description had been purchased by the trustees, and that the whole of the articles bad got mixed up in the Temple collection—had in fact, as a collection, passed away. 11e had, how ever, to inform the hon. gentleman that such IN as not the case, and directions had linen given to have the whole of the Temple collection properly and distinctly labolle,l. FINANCE. Mr. GRANT-DUFF said the acc.mut of the Home changes were all fully published in the Government " Gazette" of India, and he thought quite in detail. The "Gazette" was circulated, and he had every reason to believe the Indian public had full means of becomin acquainted with them. He thought the dissatisfaction that existed on the subject arose from misconception. SMOKING ON RAILWAYS. Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to Mr. Calogan, said ho was quite aware of the antagonistic legislation which had taken place with regard to the Metropolitan district rail ways with respect to smoking. The Board of Trade could not be expected to settle everything, and under all the circumstances he thought the matter had better be left to the discretion of the directors. THE COURT HOUSE, GRAVESEND. Mr. AYRTUN informed Sir C. Wingfield that the :ote for building the Court-house was in the estimates now on the table, and as soon as it was passed the building would be proceeded with. THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY. Mr. GRAN T DUFF said there was some mistake about the seven men in the sth battery 17th brigade of the Royal Artillery not getting their share of the money. The commanding officer said he had not received it, and ac cordingly the Madras Government had been requested to make some inquiry into the mistake. THE POST-OFFICE AND ORDINARY SAVINGS BANKS. The CHANCELLOR of tWeEXCIIEQUER said ho could not assent to the request to allow the ordinary savings banks to receive the same amount from a single depositor as he allowed the post-office savings banks. The interest paid by the Government t o the ordinary savings banks was£:.; ss. and the post-office savingsbanks.£2, 10s.,but with the former there \‘'ls no guaranteed security, whilst with the post-office savings banks there was the security of the Government. lie did not mean to say that the depositors in ordinary savings banks were not en titled to every consideration, but he thought that, considering the largo sums that had been lost in ordinary savings banks by poor people, and that frauds might still be perpetrated by the dishonest iu the manage ment of those establishments, he did not feel disposed to extend the power that they possessed. RATING OP MINES. Mr. BRUCE informed C'ilonel buncombe, that a bill for the rating of mines would very shortly be introdued. POSTAL COMMUNICATION. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he was in com munication with the Great Western Railway with a vie w of improving the conveyance of letters from the midland counties to the western counties of South Wales. STORAGE OF SALTPETRE. Mr. CARDVETEldoiniedlidlinQEtwrence that the Government bad come to the determination of remov ing all saltpetre stored in private warehouses. . THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. DISRAELI said he had some amendments to make to most of the clauses, but be must be permitted, before doing so, to refute the charges which had been blade against those who had made amendments to the bill on his side of the house. His great desire, and those also who acted with him, was that the revolutionary and u nconstitutional change which the bill made should be s o arranged that the shock it would occasion should not be too serarely felt by the laity. (Hear, hear.) The amend ments %ley had placed upon the paper were not for the purpe.se of ob s t ruction, but simply to carry into effect the yronuses made by the Prime Minister last session. (LEFT SITTING. THE PORTSMOUTH REVIEW-IMS DAY. (By TELEGRAPH.) PORTSMOITTH, NOOII. The review will be a great success.

They have recently unexpectedly been discovered.—There still survive four medical gentle men on whom the Guelphie order of Knighthood was conferred before the accession of her Majesty—viz., Sir James Clark, Sir Henry Holland, Dr. Latham, and Dr. Neill Arnott.—The question of reduced rates of postage, especially for newspapers and printed matter, has been taken up by the Society of Arts. They have appointed a committee to promote measures for accomplishing the reduction.—The sale of the various curiosities and works of art collected by M. Edouard Fould realised £22,845. Mille.

Jenny Lind, first stepped on the boards of Her Majesty's Theatre.— Amcngst the works to be performed at the Worcester Festival next September are " St. Paul," "Elijah," "Judas Maccaloeus," and "The Prodigal Son," Mr. Arthur Sullivan's new oratorio. Engagements have been concluded with Mr. Sims Beeves, Mr. Santley, Mdlle. Tietjens, Madame Patey-Whytock, and other vocalists. The whole of the cathedral will be thrown open, including the choir, which is undergoing restorations that will not be finished for two years.—Timour's Library has not, after all, been discovered in the India House. The manu scripts, according to the Spectator, " have now been submitted to the learned Professor Ameuney, whose report settles the question. They were part of the library at Beejapoor, and fell to us on the lapse of the Sattara State. They consist of 490 volumes, of which twenty-five arc in Persian, and the rest in Arabic, twenty 7 poetry, seventy history, and most of the rest theology. veral of them are authors' copies of old Mobamin :Ai works, the oldest bearing date 1133, and one, the Tilwih of TaftAzani,' dated 1350, is believed to be the author's manuscript. They are a valuable addition to the great India Office Library, but of far less interest than was believed." PARLL4MENTARY BUSINESS. Fifteen "orders" are down for consideration this evening, the first of which is the further progress in committee of the Irish Church Bill. The next in import ance is the Bankruptcy Bill brought in by the Attorney- General, which be will endeavour to get through the quicksands of committee. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill—a supplemental measure to the first —is also fixed for the same stage. Mr. Goldney will endeavour to get his County Coroners Bill read a second time, although it will meet with the strenuous opposition of Mr. Mike, who will move that it be read a second time upon this day six months. In the event of its passing a second reading, Mr. Cubitt will try to shelve it to a select committee. Mr. Ormsby Gore intends to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland a question relating to Irish railways ; Sir Stafford Northcote will seek some information touching the disputes between the rulers of Muscat and Zanzibar; and Colonel Duncombe will want to know of the President of the Poor-law Board if it is his intention to introduce during the present session a bill for the purpose of placing the rating of mines on a more satisfactory footing. The Beerhouses Bill comes on for second seading to morrow night, and as there is no adverse amendment on the paper, it will probably pass that stage. The adjourned debate on the Irish Party Processions Bill is also fixed for to-morrow evening. Mr. Pease has given notice to call attention to the need of an early report from the royal commission appointed in 1867 to inquire into the duration of our coal-fields ; Mr. Fowler (Falmouth) will move an address for a copy of the despatches addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies from the Governor of the Cape and the Governor of Natal in reference to slaTery in the South African Republic ; Sir George Jen kinson will call attention to the hardship and injustice inflicted on the ratepayers of certain parishes by the present system of the partial abolition of turnpikes ; and Mr. Raikes thinks the present state of the law affecting agents guilty of corrupt practices at parliamentary elec tions well worthy the consideration of the House. On Wednesday Mr. Newdegate will be able to have another fling at Roman Catholics, he having given notice that on the motion to read the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill a second time, he will move that it shall not be further Proceeded with. The Evidence Amendtn mt Bill and the Poor Law (Ireland) Amendment Bill at.) both down for second reading. Mr. Staveley Hill intends to propose an adverse amendment to the first, and Mr. Synan will suggest that the second shall be referred to a select com mittee. Thursday being a Government night, the Irish Church Bill will again occupy the attention of the committee. Several bills are entered for different stages. The Conta gious D:.;eases (Animals) [No 2] Bill and the Local Government Supplemental Bill are fixed for committee ; and the Mines Regulation Bill and the Valuation of Pro perty Bill for second reading. On Friday Mr. Gregory will bring forward his motion for opening museums on Sundays ; Mr. R. N. Fowler intends to call attention to the advantages to the public service of embarking and landing the mails at a western port ; and Sir Hervey Bruce will move for a return of the new taxes placed on Ireland since the year 1852. TRADE AND FINANCE. ----~- Of all the foreign Governments now in the money market, or about to make their appearance there, for the purpose of raising loans, there is not one which, from a financial point of view, can be regarded with confidence. And it is satisfactory to find that a con siderable degree of caution is now being exercised, by English investors at least, with regard to advances to these unstable Governments. It is scarcely too high a computation that the loans already out and in prospect are for no less a sum than 50 millions sterling. Of • those already issued, there is the issue of £11,110,0A Nicolai (Grand Russian) Railway Bonds, which, although taken up on the Continent, has been com pletely shelved in this market. Of the Spanish and Turkish Loans very little has been obtained in this market, while the Roumanian Railway Loan for £1,500,000 will pmbably meet with a similar reception in conse quence of the bad faith of the Roumanian Government with former contractors. Not long since we saw 'an attempt of the Egyptian Government to obtain money here fail ignominiously, while, still more recently, a proposal from Turkey was scarcely listened to. These ,we venture to think, are healthy signs. Investors appear to have become convinced that there is a limit beyond which lending should not go, and accordingly the old borrowing States, which have come into the market from time to time with great regularity, have been the first to fall under suspicion. Looking at the credit of these Governments themselves, we see nothing that should induce capitalists to trust them. In the cases of Russia, Italy, and Spain, the finances have been going backwards for many years past, and so little mystery has been made about the matter that the Budgets of each have been estimated in deficit, without any attempt apparently to bring the receipts and expenditure into equilibrium. Spain, in particular, is in a very peril ous position at the present moment, and there is very great doubt whether she will be able to pay the interest about to fall due on the exterior debt, notwithstanding the loan that has now been raised. It would almost appear that the interest on all Spanish Bonds will be funded for some time to come. The estimated expenditure of the Government for 1867.68 was upwards of twenty-six millions sterling, while the revenue was something over twenty-five millions. This year, however, the expenses attendant on the revolution will cause a much larger deficit, while the revenue will have fallen off greatly in consequence of the abolition of the octroi duties, and other internal direct taxes. It seems almost impossible, under such circumstances, for Signor Figuerola to be able to meet the current expenses of the Government, and now that people's eyes have been opened to the true state of affairs, a new loan would b out of the question. These loans, however, must have a satisfactory influence upon the money market. They will absorb a con siderable amount of unemployed capital, and will cause au upward movement in the discount quotations. Already an advance has taken place at Hamburg and Amsterdam, it being found necessary to prevent an outflow of silver from the country. The position of the money market here has for some weeks past been very peculiar. Notwithstanding the great difference between the value of money here and abroad, the comparatively high rates have failed to attract the usual amount of capital to this side. This has been accounted fur by the suspicion that foreigners have begun to attach to English bills, owing to the failure, attended by discreditable revelations, of some of our principal houses, which were long regarded by them as the repre sentatives of commercial honour and opulence. It was the custom, when opportunities presented themselves, for foreign capitalists to send money over to this side for investment in long-fated paper, but, owing to the circum stances pointed out above, these operations have been very much restricted. It is a humiliating fact, but it is difficult to find any other explanation for it. In trade generally, no feature of interest has presented itself. The amount of business passing in woollen and cotton goods is limited. There is no disposition on the part of manufacturers to go into stock, and they appear to be pretty well bare of supplies of the raw material. Apparently they are convinced that if prices of both wool arid .. sotton do not recede, tiny will, at 1016 be Akin pigsliggiatsaciat rater!, JIER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, April 25.

COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FlNE.—Wii:iam Mumford, a low looking lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with gambling with cards in Brewer-strcet, contrary to the 31st at,d 32d Vic, cap. 52, sec. 3 (the Vagrant Act Amend ment). Police-Constable Charles Squire, 24 C 11, said that yes terday afternoon be saw the prisoner with five small boys with cards at the center of Brewer-street and Sher wood-street, the:cards lying on the groan 1 and money being placed on them. After watching the prisoner fur an hour he got the assistance of the constahl,s, and re turned to the place, but b:ing seen. all but the prisoner succeeded in escaping. the cards which belonged to the prisoner were all marked, so that the prisoner might won the smaller boys' money. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was sorry to say that a similar thing had been done at great clubs before now. The constable pointed out certain marks on the cards. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was not necessary for him to say bow mischievous the prisoner's conduct was. It was shown that he had been imposing ou little boys by making the cards. He was happy to say that power was given him to deal with the prisoner under the now act as a vagrant, and in that way he should certainly deal with him, and committ him for 14 days without a fine, with hard labour. The prisoner's conduct was not only mis chievous in taking small boys' money, but it led them into habits of dishonesty. Several boys were also charged with Sunday gamblin —"pitch:and toss"—and after hearing some cases from the inhabitants of different streets, Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the offenders 10s. each, expressing his intention of imposing higher fines for the future. SHAMEFUL CRUELTY.—Wm. Chapman, a carman, was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with th-e following cruelty to a horse. Joseph Dobro, officer of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, 'id that he saw the pri soner driving two horses attached to a timber carriage, and observing that one of the horses was lama he examined it, and found that there was a largo hole, reaching to the bone in the fetlock joint, a piece of canvas being placed to hide it from observation, and the horse was altogther un fit for work. Wool way, 23 C It, gave similar evidence. The prisonePwas remanded on his own recognizance, the horse ordered to b 3 detain° I at the greenyard that it might be examined by a veterinary-surgeon, and the society's officer was instructed to take out a summons against the owner. THAMES. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.— James Langfiold, aged 14, who has lost one eye, was charged with cutting and wounding Ellen Doyle, a married woman. The parties are dwelling in a very low and dirty place, called St. George's-rents, St. George-in-the-East. The people there are very turbulent, are continually quarrel ling, and have given much trouble to the pike. The mother of the prisoner and the complainant were quarrelling, and exchanged blows as well as words. The prisoner in terfered, and in allusion to his misfortune the complainant called him a blind-eye bastard. He thou went to the dust hole in his mother's yard and procured a piece of broken earthenware plate, with which he attacked her and cut her right arm. She was taken to the London Hospital, where the wound was dressed. For the defence Margaret Sanfield, the prisoner's mother, and two other women, swore the boy never cut the complainant at all, and that she was wounded by her husband at home. To prove the fallacy of this defence it was proved that the complainant's husband came home at half-past six in the °puling, that his wife was wounded two hours previous to that time, and that she was in the hospital having her wound dressed at five o'clock. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprison ment and hard labour. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE.

SUN OFFICE, 7.30 P.ll. SPOII7 ING NOTE,S. The cue to the Derby mystery will be cleared up to-morrow, when it will be seen whether Belladrum is the roarer that his opponents have persistently stated. When The "Wizard won the Two Thou sand be was driven back to 25 to 1, and au old coach horse in the same stable, named Tom Bow line, was made first livourite at 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 But The Wizard won in a walk, and poor Tom was nowhere. The same result took place in thophan tus's 3 ear, when Luaus was made first favourite at 2 to 1, and the former ran away wi,li the race, although at the long price of 25 to 1, compelling the early backers of the ]verse to win their money against their will. The Hermit is another instance where the plungers got the worst of it, as he actually started for the Derby friendless at 66 to 1, and so did Queen Bertha for the Oaks at 50 to 1, as well as Blink Bonny for the Derby at 25 to 1, and St. Albans and Lord Clifden, who both won the St. Leger in their respective years, gave the " foxers" and " plungers" such a dressing that a great many of them have not shown themselves on the racecourse since then, having got leave of ab sence at head-quarters upon " urgent private affairs." With these facts staring me in the face, I cannot but think that BELLADRUM cannot hue the Two Thousand, if there is any re liance to be placed on training information, and bearing in mind his defeating all the best form that opposed him last year. The next best, in my estimation, being PRETENDER and DUKE OF BEAU FORT. The Hermione colt will credit Baron Roths child with the Three Year Old Sweepstakes, and Blue Gown and Night-jar are certainties for their respective races. The Two Year Old Plate will be wuu by Florian ur Roquefort. There will not be a large field for the One Thousand Guineas, the best of the probable starters being Scottish Queen, !Martinique, and Brigantine, and I think they will finish i❑ the order named. The other events to be decided are of very little importance, and previous running will be a guide to spot the whalers. A FRESII MAN. RACING FIXTURES. MAY.
