OFFICIAL EXPERIMENTS AT SOUTHPORT. 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 au 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. B urgoyne, Bart., G.C. 8., RE., Inspector General of Fortifications ; Col. St. George, for the War Office ; Col. Bingham (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 riott, R.A., and Captain Wrottesley, R.A. ; Lieut.- General Sir G. A. Wetherall, K.C.8., K.H., com manding the northern arid 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 hie 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 ofpersons 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 b© thus summarised :- 12-POUNDER : ELEVATION, 10 DEG. ; CHARGE, 2LB. Yards Yards Deviation Yards Yards Deviation Range. from Line of Fire.

The divergences were mainly owing to that which must always east any body of men, however well trained— want of acquaintance with a new weapon : ELEVATION, 7 DEGS. ; CHARGE, 1i LB. 1. 3160 .... 1 1-3 d Right 6: 3119 1 1-3 d Right 2.

ELEVATION 3 DEWS.: CHARGE, /1 L. 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 au 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. SILOS.

This gun was not fi re d 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. 3. 771 .... 1 -3 Right. 8. 827 .... 1-3 Right. 4. 794 .... 1 3 Left. 19. 823 .... 2-3 Left. 5 . 757 .... 2 ~ I 10. 886 .... 1-3 " The ric oc h ett i ng of both shot and shell was, profes sionally speaking, " beautifully "—that is, they touched an d fl ew 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 hav e no d oubt 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 " fi rs t graze ;" and that an old smooth boreiron 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 80-pounder still 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-POUNDER : ELEVATION 1 DEG.; CHARGE 12LB. Yards. Yards. Yards. Yards. Range. Deviation. Rant - re.

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 wouid always have a very decided ten. dency to 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, a 2 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. shpt di I 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 tq the centre—. hammock fashion. Thane who had good glasses said that they more than once saw and counted from ten to a dozen contacts ; 5 or 6 cnld, be seen with the unaided ey?. The ranges, too, were said to be highly satisfactory, even for a gun that had already gained such a good reputatietli We have little more to add. ?, +i,a yesterday's fixing, which, with tlio e;:periments last noticed, NV4s hronght to, a concl us i on shortly before six o'clock.

We heard a group of the experts broken upon with, "But Armstrong's guns don't watt sponging now, do they P" The answer was finely characteristic ; but the manner of the speaker is needed for a full comprehension of it. " Yes, they do, and they don'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 rotary motion, and you can't tell what them shot'll do." A stream of tobacco juice followed, that would have made envious many u good Yankee " spitter." The experiments will be resumed to-day--Man ehester Guardian. REPORT 011 r THE STA 'PE OF THE AT LANTIC CABLE EY TRINITY BAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I beg to forward you a copy of the official report of Mr. Varley and Captain Kcll, 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. Kell will furnish will give the de , tails of the proceedings in full. Tho 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 wire 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 ?erlican, 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 succeer4 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, audit 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 raa 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 130 fathoms 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 sk , aching the surface. At last a bight came on board • the cable at this spot bein g unusua ll y goo d f or a b out 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 most unquestionably rocks also, as was too plainly indicated by the state of the cable, rock-weed and sea animalcula ad hering to and surrounding it in many places, showing that it had been suspended clear of the bottom. The cable 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 seising hold of it beyond the break, 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. The iron wires in many places often appeared sound ; bat 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 Morn' 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, front 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 New Perlican at three a.m., and grapneled for the cable in a smooth sea. At 7 a.m. we hooked in 11,3 fathoms water in a straight lino 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. Having take' bearings, grapneling was resumed half a mile nearer to the entrance of Trility 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 parting as much as 40 fathoms, sometimes only 15 ; in ns instance did it come near the surface of the water. On two occasions the iron st ands of the cable left most unmistokable 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. Mixing found it quite impossible to raise the cable, we concluded, after careful consideration, to make a last but hopeless trial off Break Heart Point, at the mouth of Trinity Bay, and, if successful, to take the steamer and men to St. John's, to avoid further expense, Ou 3d July the steamer &ailed from New Perlioan 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 WO fathoms. We did not succeed in finding it, and bad we done so, the " Atlantic roll" setting into the bay was so heavy and the current running out so strong that we could not possibly have raised it to the surfaze, but only have determined 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 cut the bottom consisted of clay covered by a thin stratum of mud, the same as that off New Per- _•_•. liar. At about four and a half cz five miles off, the bottom ap peared to consist of atones, and this continued to within a mile and a half of the "point," where the water was very deep, lhose portions of the recovered cable that were wrapped with tarred yarn wero sound, the tar and hemp having pre served the iron wires bxight and free from rust. This will be further reported on when the pieces of re covered cable have Leen more closely examined. It is with deep regret that we have to inform you that it has been necessary to abandon the cable. (Signed) CIWIMYI4I.I. F.

THE GOVERNMENT MORTAR BOATS.—lntelli gence has been received in pistol that two of the mortar boats built for Governw.riet during the late Russian War (Nos. 49 and 5(1) by Mr. William Patterson, the builder of the great Western, Royal Charter, and Great Britain steam-vessels, have been du4 , examined, andihave 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. "ASTROLOGER" DETECTED.—A man who has lately set up as an astrologer in Gloucester was waited en a short time since by a policeman in plain clothes. Ig norant of the trap, the astrologer drew the policeman's horosene. for the small sum of five shilli ngs, the stars wet+, announced to declare that the inquirer would meet with a railway accident and go abroad in 1863, where a foreign lady woulf . l , in love with him, and offer him poison to o.;#,:k, which he was not to have ; he was to re turn t? England in 18S6, when he would speculate in honses. Many other predictions were made, but as soon as the seance was concluded, the policeman announced his real character, and carried off the astrologer to the station -110,,r,9,—,KM (es Bath papa-.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF L9RDS—(THIS EVENING.), The LORD CILNCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Domvile's Estate, Earl of Longford's Estate, and Beauchamp's Almshousei Estate Bills were read a third time and passed. THE CASE OF DR. HINDS. Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that on Friday the 3d of August, he should .call the attention o their lordships to the case of Dr. Hinds, late Bishop of Norwich, and he should ask whether it was the intention of the Government, in the next session of Par liament, to bring in a bill to mate provision for bishops who, from age or ill health, should resign their sees. CENSUS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord BROUGHAM, in the absence of his noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst), presented a petition from the Glasgow Faculty of Medicine, complaining that under the new Census Bill for Scotland they were called upon to state the particulars of all patients under their care. The petitioners complained they were called upon to fill up certain schedules of a very complicated nature without remuneration.] The petitioners prayed their lordships not to pass the bill without striking out the clause they objected to. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. Lord KINNAIRD asked the noble duke (Somerset) who had charge of this bill to postpone proceeding further with it till Tuesday next. The Duke of SOMERSET was very unwilling to stop the progress of the bill at that late period of the session. The report of the amendments could be received that even ing, and on the third reading the noble lord could state whatever objection hehad to the bill. HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) BILL. This bill was read a second time. PRISONS (SCOTLAND) BILL. , This bill, on the motion of the Duke of ARGYLL, was read a second time. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The report of amendments on this bill was received, and after a few observations from Lord Chelmsford, the Duke of Bucoleuch, and several other noble peers, the bill was ordered to be reprinted. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The report of amendments on this bill was also received. TENURE AND IMPROVEMENTS OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enable tenants to effect im provements on their estates, such works to become a charge on the estate, and to be discharged by way of annuities for a certain number of years. Viscount DONO U Gil MORE thought the bill would not realise the anticipations of its promoters. Viscount DUNGANNON said he must enter his protest against the bill altogether. He thought it would do harm rather than good, and although he entertained such a strong opinion he should not, owing to the lateness of the session, object to its going into committee He thought the right course to adopt was to refer the bill to a select committee, as it was fraught with injustice to the whole of the landlords of Ireland. [LEFT SITTING,] HOUSE OF COMMONS.._(Tuis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past 12 o'alock PRIVATE BUSINESS. . The Lords' ainendments 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. The Forest of Dean Central Railway (No. 2) and Gal way Harbour (No. 2) Bills were amended and agreed to. THE LORDS AND THE PAPER TAX. Mr. TITUS SALT presented a petition from a public sleeting held at Bedford, praying the houss to maintain its privilege in respect to taxation. MILITIA BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. 4AS (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 gays 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 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 :—" 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, shad, either for or irrespectively of the purpose's 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 uhr.lt between the parties to be less than the extent and value of a term ending on the said 11th day of October, 1884." e clause as amended and clause 3 were adopted. On clause 2, Mr. INGRAM moved thelollowing additional 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 F.urchased 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 saidlease 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 i r continued practice of renewal." I 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 reference 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. LEWIS 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. The remaining clauses were agreed to. Mr. HOWARD moved the addition of a clause provid ing for the augmentation of benefices up to £lOO a year. He might instance the diocese of Carlisle. The bishop lived in a very beautiful part of the country, in a very beautiful palace which was provided for him, but it was too far away from the cathedral city to enable the poor clergy to go there. The Dean and Chapter of Carlisle had £7,000 a year provided for them, and when the leases fell in they would have an yearly income of:121,000. In the city of Carlisle there were four parishes with a population of 30,000, and the most that either of the incum bents j received was £l5O a year. The incumbent of one of the parishes received £B5 a year. The consequence was that the incumbents were unable to en gage curates, and the people were growing entirely beyond the control of the Church. But bad as this state of things was it was worse in the county (Cumberland). In that county there were 259 livings, 108 of which were less than £lOO a year, 69 were under £BO, and many were less than £5O. He thought the commissioners were greatly to blame, for instead of augmenting these small livings they had expended large sums of money on bishops' palaces, and had lately doubled the salary of the Dean of York, who, though an excellent man, ought not to have been an object of pecuniary consideration. Mr. THOMPSON supported the clause on the ground might- that the commissioners did not expend their money pro perly, and that they did not aid the most needy and th e most urgent cases. Sir G. LEWIS opposed the clause, on the ground th at it would make no difference in the present state of things. h small who, increase 1 bin livings Mr. DEEDES defended the commissionerso said, had done all they could toaugment throughout the country. With regard to tti say that per the stipend of the Dean of York , he , m sonally he was of opinion that Parliament ought to have been consulted in the matter, but a majority of the com missioners thought otherwise. Mr. SPOONER thought the grant to the Dean of York was not justifiable, while incumbents . with families were diocese h e ll s e a d of been a Carlisle, considerablein 0 1 : 1 0 iv a in c ea ' s d:th t th sa ' in the a(li augmentations tar ingup o a Sir J. GRAIIAM conse quence of the e ertions of Dr. Villiers, the late bishop. He altogether disapproved of the augmentation of the income of the Dean of York under the circumstances, and was of opinion that it ought to have been brought before Parlia ment. HENLEY thought that the augmentation of filo Falary of the Dean of York would shake public confidence in the commission. (Hear, hear.) After some remarks from Mr. WESTHEAD and Mr GRIFFITH, the committee divided— Far the clause Against it Majority The clause was lost. One or two clauses having been added, the bill passe , through committee, and was ordered to be reported to the house. The sitting was suspended at a quarter to four. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] Baron James de Rothschild, jun., has w:rived at Wallace's Hotel, from Paris M.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) JUDGMENT-OGILVIE V. JEAFFRESON. 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 hi, 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 mor►gage. 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 loss 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 ; and 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 INTELLIGEIVCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH -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 £6, the property of M. Jean Alexandre Suisse, a French merchant, staying at 28, Panton •street, Haymarket. The prosecutor (who gave his evidence through Mr. Albert, the interpreter) said that about 12 the previous night 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 man 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 to the prosecutor, but at length gave in, saying it was no use. Austin, 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 fear that it would be " transportation this time," THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

OR, BLIONAPARTISM.—The ex-Cabinet Minister, in his exposé of the state of Europe, makes some most startling proposals relative to our de fences, and we should recommend every member of Parlia ment to examine and weigh well his suggestions before de ciding on the Government fortification measure. AT DRILL—When the command has been re ceived upon th e ty m p anum , act upon it at once, without pausing to reflect. You will see many intelligent men bring upon themselves the wrath of their sergeant, simply because, in analysing and pondering on his instructions, they have missed the right time for action, and are half a minute or so behind the rest of their company. For in - stance, the command is g i ven —" At the word Fours' th e rear-rank will step smar tly off with the left foot, taking a pace to the rear—Fours ?' Or, in the sergeant's language, " Squad ! 'shun! at th' wud Fox the rer-rank will steps ma' t lyoff-vri' th' leffut tekkinapesstoth'rare—Fo-o-o-res I" the last word being uttered in a prolonged and discordant bellow. A reflective gentleman in the rear rank first trans lates this dialect into the ord i nary language of civilised life, and then proceeds to ponder on its meaning ; and when he has discovered it, he probably finds himself deserted by his comrades; who have taken up a position a pace behind hi m , and an object of disgust to the sergeant, who, looking at him more in pity than in anger, says, in a horse-whisper, " Now, Number Three—what, wrong agin 1"—All the Year .Round. _ • -
