Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition complaining of the way in which this bill proposed the winding up of friendly societies. The noble lord entered at some length into the manner inwhichthe bill had been hurried through Parliament. The noble lord laid on the table 24 resolx. tions who, he said ho had spoken of on a former occasion, and which had the approval of the late Duke of Welling ton. He suggested that they ought to be considered and agreed to. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW IN SCOTLAND. 45 47 In reply to the Marquis of BREADALBANE, 10 11 Earl DE GREY said it was quite true that her Majesty intended to review the volunteers in Scotland on the 7th of August. The announcement in the newspapers was quite official, and the same arrangements would be observed as those of the review in Hyde-park. The diffe rent regiments that intended to be present would have to forward notice of their intention to the War-office. The Marquis of BREADALBANE asked the latest day on which notices would be received. EariDE GREY was understood to say the Ist of August. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH complained of the want of official intimation to the Lords-Lieutenant. Earl DE GREY said the reason that no official circular was issued was that it was not wished for the volunteers to imagine that they were to attend such review "by com mand." (Hear, hear.) of Wellington had drawn ' the attention of this country to the inefficient defence of this coun try, and unfortunately the appeal of that great captain was not properly attended to, for there is ant indisposition on the part of nations to apprehend changes in their position when they have enjoyed a long period of,security. Were not the circumstances of the times threatening? (Hear, hear.) It was useless to deny it, but the immediate danger was threatened from their power ful neighbour the Emperor of the French. (Hear, hear.) They certainly had recently concluded a commercial treaty with that sovereign. (Hear hear.) That treaty was not a matter to be treated with levity. (Hear, hear.) Reci procal commerce no doubt formed ono of the strongest ties between countries ; but notwithstanding this treaty, it could not be confidently expected that a people of such warlike disposition and tastes as the French would suddenly so fully appreciate the advantages of commerce as to pre vent the recurrence of an outbreak of martial ardour, which might lead to hostilities with this country. There were 600,000 troops in France, 400,000 of whom were ready for service, and the remainder could shortly be brought into action ; and France was endeavouring to excel this country in the vastness of her naval preparations. No one could pretend that these great military preparations were requi site for defence, for no one could suppose that there was any intention on the part of any European power to invade France, or attempt to dismember that empire. (Hear, hear.) Was not England justified, therefore in placing herself in a position of security against any sudden invasion which from:her insular posttion, and presenting only a sea fron tier, she was so much exposed ? It was supposed that England might be invaded in three ways. In the first place it might be thought that she could be attacked with a view to permanent occupation, but that he thought very few Gould for an instant anticipate. Again, it might be supposed that the metropolis might be attacked, but he confessed that he thought the object that would be aimed at would be the destruction of our arsenals, and if that were accomplished they would be placed at the mercy of France. The noble lord having adverted to the military preparations in continental countries at the present, said it would be culpable in the nation and treasonable in the Government if efficient measures were not adopted for the national defence. (LEFT SPEA.KING.) CITY AND WEST-END BETTING.-(THIS DAY.) The attendance both in the City and West-End was very meagre, the majority of both backers of horses and layers having departed for " glorious Goodwood," where there will, no doubt, be a great meeting notwithstanding the seeming unpropitious state of the weather, for even if wet, Goodwood will always be Goodwood, and the company is sure to muster strong. The Goodwood Stakes was the all-absorbing topic of not only conversation, but busi ness. The Stewards' Cup engrossed considerable attention, several animals being backed with great spirit. Maggiore was decidedly the favourite, and would have been freely supported at Bto 1, but the longest offer was 7to 1. 100 to 8 was freely offered, bar:the favourite. Man at -Arms, Viroflay, Fort- a-Bras, Narcissus, Contadina, Zitella, Sweetsauce, and Cynricus, had each their supporters. Viro flay, Fort-a-Bras, and Man-at-Arms, were each backed at the close of business at 100 to 7. 100 to 6 was taken about Narcissus, although at the commencement 100 to 3 could have been procured, but the odds gradually dwindled down to the price above stated. Contadina, Zitella, Sweetsauce, and Cynricus were backed respectively at 25 to 1, but not to any very large amount. The Goodwood Stakes betting created a great sensa tion. As little as 7to 2 was taken to a very large amount about Satellite, so much so, indeed, that with the bookmakers it was a case of "shut up," and even the bookmakers themselves would in many instances rather have been backers as far as the favourite was concerned. Indeed, we have no doubt that before the telegraph hoists the winner's name as little as 5 to 2 will have been taken. Gridiron seemed at one time to have a tendency to return to his old price, and 7 to 1 was taken so freely that 6to 1 was the current offer. Bto 1 was offered about Tocber, but he did not seem to have many supporters at the price. Wallace was in some demand at 11 to 1, which was taken freely, so much so that at the break up of the rooms 10 to 1 was the longest price obtainable. Rattlebone went very bad in the market, as much as 100 to 8 went begging, and had he had any friends to have bol stered him up, another point, no doubt, might have been procured. Claire and Flitch had each frieads at 20 to 1, and Riseber was decidedly on the decline, 25 to 1 was offered in many places, but met with no response. For the Goodwood Cup Starke was in great demand ; 5 to 1 was no sooner offered than taken, and after 9 to 2 had been taken to some money, 4 to 1 was taken, at Which price he loft off. Butterfly was backed at stol by her ad mirers, who were numerous. Gustave was backed at 6to 1 freely, but Dangu was in such bad reputo that all sorts of prices were offered, varying from 10 to 1 to 20 to 1. The St. Legor better was nominal in fact ; but a very few bets came under our notice, and those of very little moment. The following list of quotations will show the state of the market at the time of going to press : STEWARDS' CUP. 7 to 1 agst Maggiore (take Bto 1 freely) 100 to 7 agst Man at Arms (taken) 15 to 1 agst Port-a-Bras 15 to 1 agst Viroflay 100 to 6 agst Narcissus 25 to 1 agst Zitella 25 to 1 agst Sweetsauce 25 to 1 agst Cynricus 100 to 3 agst Seclusion 100 to 3 agst Ripon 100 to 3 agst Reynard GOODWOOD STAKES. 3to 1 agst Satellite (offers to take 7to 2) 7to 1 agst Gridiron (taken freely) Bto 1 agst Tocher (offered) 11 to 1 agst - Wallace (taken) 100 to 8 agst Rattlebone (offered) 20 to 1 agst Avalanche 20 to 1 agst Claire 20 to 1 agst Flitch 25 to 1 agst Riseber G OODWOOD CUP. 4to 1 agst Starke (taken and offered) sto 1 agst Butterfly (taken) 6to 1 agst Gustave (offered) Bto 1 agst Horror 10 to 1 agst Dangu ST.

SMITHFIELD MARKET BILL. Lord CHELMSFORD moved the second reading of this bill, The noble and learned lord said the object of the measure was to erect a market for the sale of dead meat on a part of the site of Smithfield market. So me mistake prevailed upon the quantity of of land appropriated to such a purpose, and to remove that impression he would at once state that only 550 square yards would be occupied by the structure, and 2,600 square yards would be devoted to open spaces and roads. The object sought to be carried out by the bill was much re quired, and he hoped it would receive the assent of their lordships. Lord REDESDALE made a few observations, which were quite inaudable. Lord EBURY said he should not oppose the bill in its present stage, but in committee certain alterations would have to be made before he could approve of the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD said the noble lord, and those who agreed with him, would have ample opportunity of doing so in committee. The bill was then read a second time. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ACT (AMENDMENT) BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on this Lord PORTMAN said the object of the bill was to re peal the clausewhieh the noble and learned lord (Brougham) objected to. The bill passed through commietee, and was reported without amendment. CRIMINAL LUNATICS' ASYLUM BILL. This bill was read a third time, and passed. NEWSPAPERS BILL. Lord STRATHEDEN moved the second reading of this bill, the principal object of which was to abolish the secu rities at present required to be given by newspaper pro prietors. [LEFT SPEARING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock, PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Athenry and Tuam Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod summoned the Speaker and the members to the Upper House to hear the royal assent given by commission to several bills, for which see Lords' report. MAYNOOTH GRANT. Mr. SPOONER presented petitions against this grant. THE CONVICT WILLIAMS. _ Lord HENLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the evidence and the sentence in the case of Edward IN illiams, convicted of stealing a watch at the March sessions for Northamptonshire, had been laid before him ; and whether he considered it a proper case for the interference of the Secretary of State. Sir G. LEWIS said that inquiry had been made into the matter, and that no grounds had been made out for the extension of the Royal clem:ncy to the convict in quess tion. THE PAPER DUTY. Lord • FERMOY gave notice on the motion for going into committee on the Licenses Duty Bill he wnuld move that it be an instruction to such committee to insert a clause repealing tho duty on paper. INDIA. In reply to Sir DE LACY EVANS, Mr. S. HERBERT said that inquiries had been made, and it was ascertained that no stores had been sent to India without the sanction of the Secretary for India. THE WESTMINSTER PALACE HOTEL. Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for India, whether it was his intention to enforce his right, under an agreement with the Westminster Palace Hotel Company, to occupy their premises, or whether it was his intention to cont nue in the City, either in the present or any other offices. Sir C. WOOD said that it would be inconvenient to take any steps in reference to this subject at present, but that they would be adopted immediately after the session had closed. THE MASSACRE IN SYRIA. In reply to Sir J. FERGUSSON, Lord J. RUSSELL said with regard to the affair in Syria, when the first accounts had been received of what had taken place in that country, Admiral Martin had been sent with a squadron to the coast of that country. Subse quently events showed that there was ground for suspecting complicity on the part of the Turkish authorities with the Druses. A gentleman who was well acquainted with Syria went to that country with a view to effect some amicable arrangement, but without success, and the mas sacre at Damascus shortly followed. It was the opinion of the Government that this massacre could not be arrested unless by a body of European troops, and that no depen dencehhiempra e s r to LvTio b dhr e eded p Fj l ar. for rd Russell)e French Ambassador, the h e T protectionrefuernkei referred ti o t n r t o hoh o ife p s troops Christians o w rme h a mot Treaty no a if d e la b Bt e iso e i6 n t wswehintihtc w h t n Turkey, and asked if this Government would con sent to the sending of troops, and, after consulting the Cabinet, he (Lord John. Russell) and the other powers of Europe agreed that that force should consist chiefly of French troops. THE NATIONAL FORTIFICATIONS. On going into Committee of Supply, Lord PALMERSTON rose to move a resolution, having for its object to carry out the recommendations of the com mittee on national defence relative to fortifications. Having referred to the alterations effected through the agency of steam in naval operations, the noble said that as hon. members must remember, in 1847, the late Duke THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

There was a fair demand for wheat in the leading coun try markets held on Saturday, and prices were well sup ported. Barley moved off slowly, but most other kinds of produce were steady, at full quotations. The continental markets have been rather less active for wheat ; nevertheless the currencies have continued firm. All kinds of spring corn have been held at very full prices. In the United States, wheat, maize, and flour have ruled rather inactive, although large quantities continue to be shipped to England. Very limited supplies of English produce were reported up to our market last week. From abroad we received 16,825 quarters of wheat, 15,554 barley, 33,467 oats, 115 beans, 6,446 peas, 5 tares, 2,758 linseed, 1,364 rapeseed, 474 sundry seeds, 8,219 sacks and 15,899 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day, from Kent was limited—from Essex moderately good. For both red and white qualities, owing chiefly to the heavy rains which have fallen this morning, and which must re tard harvest operations, there was a fair demand at an ad vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2s per quarter, at which most of the samples were disposed of. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. On the whole the trade was firm, at about 2s per quarter above the rates current on this day se'ennight. Floating cargoes of grain now off Falmouth were in im proved request, and prices ruled a shade higher. Owing to large arrivals off coast, the barley trade was less active, at barely stationary prices. We have again to report a slew sale for malt on former terms. _ . ~..,.....,. The show of oats was tolerably good. On the whole, the oat trade ruled steady, at full quotations. Both beans and peas supported previous rates, but the demand for them was by no means active. Flour moved off steadily, and prices were ls. to 2s. per 2801bs. higher. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 15,120 head. In the corresponding week in 1859 we received 8,101; in 1.58, 7,958 ; in 1857, 5,948; in 1856, 6,825 ; in 1855, 6,259 ; and in 1854, 5,545 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST VEEX. From. Beasts. Sheep.

Sales progressed slowly, and prices had a downward tendency. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts were only moderate ; but the total supply was rather ex tensive. For nearly all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was 5s 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, w• received 1,750 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from the north and other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 3 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 140 oxen, Ike. There was a fair average number of sheep on offer, but, for the most part, in middling condition. On the whole, the mutton trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations. Lambs were a dull inquiry, and late rates were barely supported. \Ve were well supplied with calves, in which only a mo derate business was doing, at late rates. The pork trade was heavy, at about stationary prices, Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

The programme for Goodwood is of the same imposing character as ever, and though it is necessarily deprived of one of the leading features of last year—the Great Ben tinck Memorial Plate of 1,000 gs—l have no doubt: the meeting will attain to as great a success, and that we shall witness a renewal of those splendid contests on this famed arena which have obtained for it the distinguishing appel lation of " glorious." On the first day there is the Stewards' Cup, T.Y.C., for the chief attraction, and we have no hesitation in pronounc ing the handicap one of the best issued this year. Without attempting to discuss the merits of the handi cap, I shall at once proceed to point out those 1 consider best " in." Amongst those to whom the Admiral has given precedence, Fort-a-Bras, 5 yrs, Bst 61b, is the first that strikes me to have a chance, as he has shown good form in every encounter he has been engaged in, and is considered the speediest horse in France ; and after him, from amongst he top weights, I expect to see Montebello hold an equally _ . forward position as last year. From amongst the mid weights, Cynricus, 4 yrs, Tightfit, 4 yrs, and Birmingham, 4 yrs, each carrying 7st 71b, are my choice ; and from those lower in the scale I must recommend Reynard, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, Edmund Kean, 3 yrs, 7st, Lucy, 3 yrs, Est 101 b, Golden Pippin, 3 yrs, Est 51b, Viroflay, 3 yrs, Est 41b, and Maggiore, 3 yrs, Est 41b. 'Were I obliged to make an absolute selection of a couple they should be MAGGIORE and MosTnBELLo. The Ham Stakes, for two-yr-olds, T.Y.C., will be worth having a cut at, there being 22 subs at 100 sous each, h fc ; but I know of nothing likely to overthrow the representa tive of Mr. Merry, who has two good horses in FoLia- STONE and STARLIGHT. The GratwickeStakes, for three-yr-olds, exhibits a de cline of seven in the number of horses engaged, compared with last year, of which St. Albans, Ebony, Cape Flyaway, and Sagitta are the only names of note. The first and last take an untried allowance of Gib, which will ensure the success of Sagitta (who will be the Whitehall represen tative in lieu of Cape Flyaway), as I believe St. Albans is certain to be an absentee. The Lavant Stakes, which last year fell to Thormanby, may show us in Delhi a formidable candidate for next year's Derby, and one equally so for the Oaks in Lady Chester field, the high-bred daughter of Stockwell and Meanee ; though, as the distance is only half-a.mile, I must express a preference for the two public horses, Walloon and the Phemy colt, the former of whom I expect to see the winner, despite his 31b penalty. The Drawing-room Stakes, for three year olds, Craven Course, can be set down as pretty open, from the remote probability of our seeing either Thormanby or St. Albans at the post, and Rattlebone, with no penalty, would stand a first-rate chance of beating Buccaneer (51b extra), did he not have the Goodwood Stakes and another engagement to meet. Next to these Seclusion (now a stable- companion of Buccaneer at Woolcot's) stands in the list, and we are com pelled to believe Woolcot's stable will carry off the prize. In the Goodwood Derby, for three year olds, one mile and a half, Rattlebone and Northern Light are the most promising, as they have only to beat Thunderbolt, Aurora, and Ebony, and of the two greys I prefer Mr. Merry's, the horse having so amazingly improved during the last few weeks. For Wednesday three only of the six races in the list are yet closed, to the principal of which, the Goodwood Stakes, I shall first refer. Magnum, 4 yrs, Bst, will, I opine, be the highest weighted horse found at the post on the afternoon of Wednesday, and though by no means favoured by the handicapper. I cannot think his chanco quite out, as at Ascot he ran Avalanche to a head at 141 b, and they now meet at 111 b, being 31b in favour of the horse, who has a further pull in the distance, the Stakes course being half a mile longer than that over which he contested the Queen's Vase. The Bretby stable is certain to find something better able to get the distance than Comforter, and neither Esk dale nor Petra are, after their recent performances, likely to run, or if they do to give much trouble. Satellite, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b, stands next, and though we have only seen him out twice this year his recent performance in the Stamford Plate proves him to possess the first qualifica tion of a racehorse—speed ; and his ability to stay I do not question, though others seem to doubt it, for in the Chester Cup he travelled two-thirds of the distance in a forward place until ho was impeded and all but knocked down by getting into collision with The Rising Sun. From the next pair on the list, Tuestall Maid and Riseber, much danger need not be apprehended. For Avalanche I have great respect ; but, good as she has proved herself, I cannot believe her so superior as, taking the sex's allowance into consideration, to almost give her year to Satellite, much less to give it away altogether with 151 b. to Flitch and Bumble Bee, and two years and 211 b. to Tocher I Convivalist, 3 yrs, 6st 81b, from his recent defeat of Syringe for the Guineas at Nottingham, must be held in great respect, as it was evident he had a pull of some 71b in hand in that race, and were Syringe in the race with 6st, he would find many supporters. The lenient weights ap portioned to Flitch and Bumble Bee ought to bring them, as well as Tocher, to the front at the finish. GRIDIRON has been very infirm in the market ever since Monday last. Some have it that he has lost his trial ; but the same mishap befel The Wizard just before he won the Two Thousand, and we pay but little heed to such a cir cumstance, even though it really took place, and shall have the greatest confidence in Gridiron's pretensions if he but reach the post safe and sound, unless some other objection can be advanced, as the heavy stake put upon him has not been shifted yet, and we have always looked upon him as a first-class animal " when wanted." To sum up, I expect to see GRIDIRON the winner of the Goodwood Stakes, to be followed by SATELLITE, CONVEVIALIST, and TOCHER. The list for Thursday sets forth no fewer than ten races, the greater number of which are replete with interest. The entries for the Cup exhibit a decline of eight from last year, consequently the field will scarcely be so numerous as on many previous occasions ; but that the contest will not be deficient in interest may be inferred from the number of American and French horses certain to take a part in the struggle. Dangu, from his performance in the Derby, I hold in high estimation, and, with his allowance of 141 b, ought to be ♦ery handy at the finish. Starke and Satellite will re present the American interest. The July weather has proved too " warm" for Butterfly, and I am reluctantly compelled to withhold my allegiance from her, and shall expect the judge to place them in the following order : DANGU STARKE BUTTERFLY In the Findon Stakes, Brown Duchess and Dundee may fight their battle over again; but as the distance (six fur longs) is all in favour of Mr. Merry's horse, I shall expect to see Dundee again successful. Mouravieff ought to have no difficulty in disposing of the moderate lot that he will have to encounter in the Four-yr-Old Bentinck Memorial Stakes. The Three-yr-Old Bentinck Memorial, in the absence of the Wizard, will fall to Northern Light. London, July 23. A FRESH MAN. THE GoonwooD Cur.—Of the three principal cups to be run for this week, the classic vase manufactured by London and Ryder, of New Bond-street, deserves espe cial commendation for design and workmanship. The general form of the vase resembles the proportions of some antique models, and the sculptural decorations are appro priately chosen from classic myth o l og i ca l f a bl e . 'The group on the cover represents Bellerophon, mounted on Pegasus, the winged horse of the Muses, conquering the Chimaera. The action of the hero is animated, an d the three diverse heads of the monster are set on the neck with great skill and apparent probability. Four delicately executed medallions in low relief round the sides of the cup illustrate other poetical incidents relating to Pegasus. The shaft is decorated with the head of Medusa, win mon sters, and boys. The more strictly artistic portion be rt difficult ion cl ot the design is of a superior character, while it would to praise too highly the elaborate invention an_ d_ delicate execution of the silversmith's w ork. Thep layfulness and originality of the lines and component parts of the shaft is almost worthy Benvenuto Celhni. Altogether this in is in its ensemble one of the finest pieces of modern Eng. lish art •workmanship we have seen. Her Majesty is expected to make a stay o f t wo or three days in Edinburgh, on her way to Balmoral. Dr. James R. Ballantyne, of the College at Benares, the eminent Sanscrit scholar, and candidate for the Bodleian Professorship at Oxford, h as received the ap pointment of librarian at the East India House, vacant through the death of Professor IL H, f THE S. BILLS. The public will have seen time after time in the paper of business in the House of Commons " Sale of Gas Amendment Bill, 1,2, 3 ;" but with the ex ception of those specially interested in the question, there are few who know anything about these bills. Now as legislation on the question materially affects the consumers of gas, we will endeavour to enlighten them on the subject. Every one knows, except lin ' der special agreement, that gas is sold to the con sumer at so much per thousand cubic feet, and that the amount consumed is checked by a meter. It is with reference to these meters that legislation is sought. In the early days of gas the meters in general use were what are termed wet meters, and it was found after a time that they could not be relied upon as keeping a correct register of the amount of gas consumed. It was found also that the meters were almost invariably so constructed as to be in favour of the gas makers against the con sumers, in some cases, as was shown in evidence be fore committees of the House of Lords, to the eass tent of 40 per cent. Laws have from time to tiuts: been passed to protect the public from unjust weignts and measures, and when gas became such a ileces sary article of consumption, and in such general use, it was felt that the public ought to be protected. in the purchase of gas as in any other commodity. The question certainly was on e exceedingly difficult to legislate upon, but Lord Redesdale, the Chair man of Committees of the House of Lords, took it up in earnest, and proposed a bill which was read a first time in 1858. Parliament was them dissolved, and copies of the bill were distributed) throughout all the principal towns in the kingdom, with the view of eliciting opinions and suggestions. In 1859, the bill a ft er b e i ng most rigidly analysed in both houses of P ar li ament, eventually passed. The principal provisions were that gas holders were to be deposited with the Comptroller of the Ex chequer, within three months from the pas s i ng o f the act, for the purpose of being tested, one of the conditions of the act being that no miSter could be used as a standard unless it registC;red the amount of gas passing through it wiW,n two or three per cent. The standard being once determined on., model gas holders were to be made and distributed in the different towns. Inspectors of meters were to be appointed, to be paid by fees, who, previous to meters being sent ou t f or serv i ce , were to exa mine them, and affix a stamp upon them in evidence, that they were proper instruments of measurement, in the same manner that our ordinary weights are stamped. After the passing of the act the Treasury were to take the initi a ti ve , b u t , the holidas f - s inter vening, the act se ems t o h ave b een entirely lost sight of, so that when the period arrived for the standard gas holders to be deposited, the cubic foot measure was the only one sent in. The Treasury appointed the Astronomer - .Royal, Professor Airey, and Professor Miller to fix the standard measures. This work, apparently very easy, was found to be very difficult ts., accomplish. A considerable delay neeessarily ensued. The g as meter makers through out . the country b ecame i mpat i ent because they could not proceed with the manufacture of meters until the testing holders were deposited at the Exchequer Office, and the instructions to the inspectors issued. A number of meetings were held. The Treasury, the Board of Trade, the Privy Council, and the Astronomer Royal were communicated with. The time baying elapsed for carrying out the act, with the consent of the metre makers, it was proposed that a short act, under the special eircumstances* the case, should be passed, to give further time for its being put in operation. Lord Redesdale's act as it stood met with the ap probation of all parties, and it was tacitly under stood that the amended bill should be allowed to pass without opposition, in order that the plan should be fairly tested, as it was the first step in a new field of legislation. To the surprise, however, of most parties inte rested, Mr. Sheridan, on the 28th June last, in troduced an entirely new bill. It was read a second time (4th July), and on the sth referred to a select committee ; but few of those likely to be affected by the bin knew anything about it. Some two or three, however, in time dis covered what its provisions were, and prayed to be heard by counsel, and to examine witnesses before the committee. This was refused, on the ground that the session was too far advanced. The committee, however, on being pressed, consented to permit one witness on each side to be examined. This was refused by the opponents of the bill, as they knew that they could not effectually establish their case by one solitary witness. The committee then proceeded to examine four or five witnesses in favour of the bill, and in the course of three hours went through the whole bill of thirty-five clauses, some of them referring to technical details, which it was impossible that the committee could master in so short a time, and reported the bill to the house. Fortunately, however, for the interests of the public it is not likely to proceed further. The .Secietary of State for the Home Department 'has determined to oppose the further progress of 'the measure if those provisions of Lord Redesdale's bill for the protection of the consumer are practically ignored. For instance, it is at present unlawful for gas companies to manufacture their metres to be used by the consumers, to prevent their having the opportunity of making only those which would register in their own favour and against the consumer. The bill proposes to legalise this course. Again, in Lord Redes dale's Bill it was enacted that the standard by which all meters are to be tested shall be kept under the control of the Comptroller of the Exchequer. The new bill proposes that the standards shall re main with the manufacturers, thus affording every facility to their being tampered with. In the ori ginal bill it was proposed that Liverpool should be excepted from the operation of the bill, because it is presumed that the gas companies are all powerful there, and do not like their proceedings to be inter fered with. This clause was, however, struck out ; in the present bill it is re-introduced. In fact, the new bill is to all intents and purposes a measure in tended for the promotion of the interests of the gas companies, and of a certain class of meter-make : rs, ' as against the interests of the consumers. Whilst the present uncertainty as to the measurement of gas continues, gas companies can well consent to a reduction in the price of gas, because they can with impunity have meters, which, though apparently fair, yet can be made to register 40 per cent. in their favour.—Observer. THE STRANDING OF THE SHIP WAGOOLA. FOLKESTONE, SATURDAY'. A protracted inquiry, directed by the Board of Trade, has been held at the Customs baggage de partment of this port, before Capt. Harris, H.C.S , the nautical assessor to the Board of Trade, assisted by Mr. O'Wowd, the solicitor to the Customs, re specting the conduct of the coast-guard, on. the occasion of the recent stranding of the ship Wagoola, bound to China, in East Ware Bay, between this ' place and Dover. At the investigation at Green wich, before Mr. Traill, into the circumstances attending the wreck of the ship, it was stated that la quantity of the cargo, wines, &c., had been plundered while the coast-guard were in charge, and the present proceedings were ordered. A series of charges were preferred by Captain Russell, the agent of Lloyd's Salvage Association, accusing some of the coast-guard in this district of either complicity or neglect with respect to robbery of wrecked goods from the Wagoola ; to wit, the abstraction from cases saved from the ship and placed on the beach, under their charge, of 410 bottles of port and sherry, 162 bottles of cham pagne, 60 bottles of brandy, 130 bottles of gin, 6 casks of ale, 2 cases of fruit, 1,000 tins of sardines, and several bales of goods. Mr. Longcroft, solicitor of Havant, appeared for Lloy'ds ; Mr. Fox, for the coast-guard, and Mr. Beverley, for the Customs. Captain Heath, of her Majesty's ship Dauntless, and Captain Rich, R.N., the inspecting commander for the district, attended on behalf of the Comptroller-General of the Coast guard. The proceedings excited much interest, but in consequence of Capt. Harris prohibiting the pub lication of the evidence, saying it bee n a rivate inquiry, although the charge had pub licly made at the Greenwich Police-court, we are unable to give the facts. We are informed, how ever, that some ex t ra ordinary revelatiuns were Lc o made, and it was clearly proved that cousiderable plunder had taken p lace, but b y when% is yet to be stated.
