MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There has been rather more activity displayed in the market for Foreign and Colonial produce during the last few days, and for most of the lead ing articles full rates have been obtained. Tea, however, was inactive, and declined about ld. per lb. The better qualities of sugar have been well supported, and coffee .maintains its value. Rice and rum have been at steady quotations, and for saltpetre th e r e h as b een an ac ti ve i nqu i r y at an Improvement of about 6d. to Is. per cwt. The public sales of indigo have proceeded very slowly, and a considerable quantity has been withdrawn Owing to the low rates current. Good useful qualities, however, maintain the rates realised at the commencement of the sale. Tallow has been ( lull, but prices are rather firmer, P.Y.C. on the spot, 535. to 535. 3d. ; June delivery, 525. 9d. ; and last three months, 50s. per cwt. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices were Well supported. The sales were estimated at 10,000 balm The Railway Share Market presented a steady appearance, told quotations slightly ad vanced. About 120,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank of England yesterday. It appears that large quantities of silver are being sent to Boulogne, and the movement, it is feared, if continued, will soon exert an unfavourable influence upon the Money Market. The arrivals announced to-day include the Arago hinin New York, with specie to the amount of 1 7,2001., and the Morning Star, from Melbourne, with 19,132/. It is fully expected by those who take a special interest in financial affairs that the Bank return to - night will exhibit some important and unfavour able changes. The bullion has bee n trenched upon to a considerable extent through tb e remittances to the continent, and some alterations are also looked in the reserve of notes. The Money-market still retains an easy appear ance, but the demand is rather mare active, owing to a slight increase in the commerci:nl requirements. On the Stock Exchange money can be obtained at 1 to 2 per cent. on Government securities. In the Market for English Securities the trans actions to-day have been very limited, and until the result of the debate which will commence this evening is known, no revival can be anticipated. Consuls have been 97i ± for money, and 971 if for account. They are now 972 for the latter. The New Three per Cents. are 952 96 ; the Re duced, 954 ; and the New 21 pex Cents., 801. Indian Loan Debentures are 100 a L. Exchequer Bills, 375. to 41s. prem. ; the Bonds, 1011 . Bank Stock is 221 2221.

ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES TEOM LOUD VIVIA.N.—John Davis, a respectable-looking young man, was charged before Mr. Bingham with attempting to obtain money by false pretences under the following circumstanc es:— _ Charles Cressigny Lord Vivian said—l at present reside at Russell's Hotel, Albemarle-street,• and while at breakfast that morning a letter was broughtlo me by my F ervan t, and the prisoner being introduced said ho was either a tenant or neighb our o f mine at Piaegvfyn, in Anglesea, and that his f a th er ' s name was Davis, and that he lived at Bron. I asked him what parish, and he gave me a name that I knew was not to be found in the island, He said he had been in Loudon for three months seeking employ as a chemist and druggist, and that as his father had not eent him any money he had come for some assistance. I told him I thought be was an impostor, and that I should send for a Mendicity Society's officer. He then made for the door, but I followed and seiz.d him in the passage and sent my servant for a constable. He then fell on his knees and begged me not to proceed fur ther, but knowing that .;there were several impostors about I felt it my duty to give him into custody. The prisoner said his family formerly lived in Anglesey, but his lordship did not understand him. He told his lord ship he was hard up, which was the case. Lord Vivian—When I told him there was no such place in Anglesea, he said then it was in Montgomery shire or Merionethshire. Prisoner—l was afraid of being taken into custody and was confused ; but I hope you will deal leniently with me. It is all true what I stated. Mr. Bingham—Then I shall remand you for a week. Prisoner—l would rather you settle it at once. Mr. Bingham—As there is very little doubt of your guilt, I shall send you to prison for three months with hard labour. THAMES. DREADFUL CASE OF STABBING.—Mary Ann Singer, a dissipated looking woman was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with cutting and wounding Susan Middleton, of No. 2, Hungerford-street, Commercial road East. Police constable Walker, No 56 IC, stated that last night he received information that a woman had been murdered in Hungerford-street and be went to the house, No. 2, and found the lAndlady of the house lying on the fl )or weltering in her blood, which was flowing copiously from several wounds. He conveyed her to the hospital and the medical officers there had much trouble in staunching the wounds. Tne woman was cut under the tongue, across the nose, and there was a deep gash on one of his arms. He was informed that the prisoner bad inflicted the wounds, and took her into custody. She was intoxicated, and said she would go to Newgate for Mrs. Middleton, and hoped she had done for her. John Nathan, a little boy, dwelling at No. 5, Hun gerford-streek saw the prisoner and Mrs. Middleton quarrelling last night. They called each other names. The prisoner obtained a knife and attacked Mrs. Mid dleton and cut her in a shocking manner, and swore at her. Mr. Yardley—ls the woman who is wounded able to appear ? Walker—No, sir, the wound s are considertd to be dangerous. She was in a very low state. Mr. Yardley rernanded the Drignn,r for a week. MARKET A W B.—(Ttua Day.; CORN EXeli &N GE.

Kaye, author of " The Life of Sir John Malcolm," &o. 2 vols. New edition. Smith and Elder. This is a new and revised edition of a work which appeared some time since, whose favourable reception by the public, paid due honour to the memory of an eminent man, and to the discretion and fidelity with which his able biographer had performed his arduous task. The career of one so well fitted to govern, so prominent in the history of his time, one no less distinguished by the moral greatness of the man than by the lofty position of the statesman, is a subject well deserving the at tention of his countrymen. The life of Charles Metcalfe sets a noble example to the youthful can didate for distinction. It shows him that rank, and power, and fame may be-attained by worthy means ; that the same man who possesses the favour of the Crown may deserve the confidence of the people ; that he who wins the approval of the great need not forfeit that of the good. Iu his long official career, living "for nearly half a century perpetually in the harness of public business," hi s uprightness and nobility of nature were as remark able as his great talents and inflexible resolution. " The goodness of his heart and the honesty of his nature were proof against all trials. From the be ginning to the end of his career he was free from malignity as he was from guile. He could neither hate an enemy, nor deceive him." The chief por tion of his life was, as most readers are aware, spent in India ; and it adds to the interest of this valuable work to be able to gather from its pages a faithful picture of the state of feeling there fifty years ago, and to learn the opinions of Lord Met calfe on the position of our Indian Empire. Iu alluding to the alterations and compressions made ' in this work, the writer informs us in the preface that he has judged it expedient to expand one por tion of it :—" I confess that I was one of those who believed that Metcalfe's repeated allu sions to the insecurity of our Indian empire, and to the probabilities of some sudden and disastrous outbreak, were not in accordance with the general sagacity and the sound good sense of the man. His friends, I know, used to smile at this as his weak point, and in the origival edition of this work I did not speak of it with much respect. People, however, think differently now ; and, at all events, it is curious and interesting at the present time to observe Melcalfe's plognostications of the coming storm, and not nuinstructive to mark in what mauner he was wont to suggest that we should prepare ourselves to meet it." He has accordingly given several passages from Metcalfe's Corres poudence, referring to this subject, which were not in the earlier edition. The latter portion of Lord Metcalfe's life was divided between the govern ments of Jamaica and of Canada. These two difficult positions he occupied with all the honour and distinction that his friends could hope for. Nothing but a strong sense of duty, and of the claims of the public service upon him, would have drawn hint from the repose where he was seeking to recruit his failing heiltb, to the thronging diffi culties and arduous labour that awaited him as the head of the Canadian government. As time went on, and as his presence still seemed indispensable, the tertibie disease that was so soon to close his career advanced with equal certainty. Deseite the constant sufferings he endured, and tee painful remedies trio i in vain, he devoted himself to buei floss with all his characteristic fortitude. At when he held the acceptance of his resignation, he summoned his council and told them that even then he would ruaintaiu his post at the head cif the eovernment, if they really believed it necessary for the preservation attic tranquility of the Stat s, so 1 ng is life was left him. With much emotion they bale him depart, and he returned to his native laud to receive his hard-won honours, but never to .ake his seat in that Louse which had been the day dream of his aspiring youth. The numersus testi monies of affection and gratitude, the tributes that came to him from distant lands must have bet 11 more gratifying to him than the honours with which his services were rewarded. But ho was not long permitted to enjoy them, and a few months after he returned to Eoglaud, the ruler of " the three greatest dependencies of the British Crown" was quietly interred in the parish church of Winildisld. The epitaph, by Lord Macaulay, expresses in a few biief itences the honour due to a good and gentle heart, a great and noble spirit, the kind friend, the upright man, the wise and conscientious ruler of many varying races. The following passage is quoted from the remarks on his de parture from India after thirty-eight years' absence from his native country : "As I write sixteen years have passed away since Metcalfe embarked on board the ship St. George. But his memory is as fresh in the affections of the people of India as though he had but yesterday departed from among them. He left behind him a great and a cherished name. It is a common thing, when it is asked what Metcalfe did for India, to answer that he liberated the Indian pres'. Toe next queeeon ought always to he, bow he attained the position which enabled him to libe rate the Indian press. I am not likely to underrate the advantages of a free press. But it is not in this, or in any one individual measure, that we are to look for the materials of his fame as an Indian statesman. It was not what he did at any one time, but what he was con tinually doing, that entitled him to the gratitude of man. kind. Separate riots of statesmanship are lost in the oneness and completeness of his character as a statesman. He rose by the force and consistency of his person ri cha racter to the highest post which he could occupy in the Government of India. He had set his face steadfastly, from his very boyhood, towards the acquisition of vice regal power and dignity ; and he attained it, not by any acts of spasmodic energy, bat by a life of sustained era.- nestnese, unintermitting labors, and undeviating integ rity. In every situation in which he bad been paced he had acquitted himself well, because he had always ad dressed himself to the work before him with a high sense of the responsibility of his vocation, and a brave resolution to do what ho conceived to be right with all the power with which God had gifted him, whatever might be the opinions of others, and whatever the sacrifice of self. That his abilities were of a high order is not to be questioned ; but it was not the quick ness of hie parts so much as the courage and the honesty which ever employed them in the right direction, that lay at the root of his success." "The straightforwardness which so distinguished his moral, was a conspieuous feature also in his intellectual, character. His despatches and minutes were ever re markable for their directness of purpose. It was his wont to make up his mind thoroughly on any given sub jeot, and to state his views clearly and distinctly, with out any gloss of conditions and reservations. He was of too fearless and manly a nature to be continually thinking of leaving for himself some loop-hole of retreat. He did not know what it was to trim. And he never left his meaning to be guessed at. Among all the nutn berless letters, despatches, and minutes e bier Metcalfe wrote during his connection with the Government of India, I do not remember to have chanced upon au ob scure sentence. If language was given us for the con cealment of our thoughts, no man ever made a worse use of it than Charles Theophilus Metcalfe. " There wa; a simplicity—a massiveness, in his pub lic writings and in his political conduct very character istic of the man. He did not trouble himself with se condary consideratione, or encumber great questions with petty details. Lord W. Bentieck earl of never cavilled upon a trifle, and aceer yieleesato me ee A point of imp...kauee.' In this single sentence is seen the secret of his success—the very germ of his great re putation. Sorue men mistake trifles for points of impor tance, and waste their time in the strenuous idleness of canvassing theta. Metcalfe never made a mistake of this kind. He had a remarkable faculty of divesting great questions of all needless encumbrances, and sleeking himself thoroughly understood. Some of his Indian State papers are models of this massive !simplicity. When, in 1525, the complication cf affairs at Beurtpore oaused great doubt and uncertainty regarding the course to be pursued by the British Government, Metcalfe in a few pithy sentences placed the whole question so clearly before the Governor-General and his councillors, that all doubt and hesitation vanished before a brief state ment of the case, so plain and unsophisticated that the reader is almost tempted to exclaim that a child might have written it. But it was this very childlike directness that was so cogent an instrument in his hands. It was a pebble from the brook—the brook cf truth—that broe4ht down the gigantic Philistine." " He never indulged in any inflated talk about the wrongs of the people ; but ho set himself steadily at work to redress them. He was a philanthropist in no thing so little as in words. He abstained from anything like grandiloquent professions; but the practice of his life was in accordance with the purest principles of bene volence. As a member of the Government, he was generally on the side of the people ; as an individual, he gave liberal encouragement to evsry institution that was calculated to promote their interests. He was opeosed to too much interference with the ancient usages of tae people, but it was a discriminating opposition. He was eager, for example, to maintain inviolate the village emnrimaities, wh'lch he believe" to be such impertent auxlariee to the security and prosperity of the agricul tural papulation ; but lie was willing to incur some risk in the cause of humanity, for the suppre:e of the abominable rite of su tee. " It would be a mistake to endeavour to enhance the merit of Charles Metcalfe's success by saying that circumstances were hosaile to him, and that he rose to eminence in spite of obstacles which would have kept down other men. Tne truth iv, that circuinetanees were in his favour. I have had nothing to record f , those early hardships which, a few years before Mereta,e n etfeesdui trance into public life, tried, as in a furnace, en h e . It is ranee of men struggling fur fame a i interesting to read or to hear f a ti Munro o lacking, the mosne to provide hirnseif sviAi a pillow or bl a nket—of a, Malcolm starving in secr et, because he would not bor row money to buy himself a dinner—cf a Tucker .. disput ing with the"rats for the p ossession of a miserable cellar. Metcalfe had no such trials at the outset cf his career. Everything went prosperously with him from the first. When he was a boy, he wrote in his Common-p!ace Beek, among other paseagee' the suggestiveness of which will be better appreciated by those who turn back to them after they have followed Metcalfe's career to the end and made close acquaintance with his character— 'He is the most clever who is best able to profit by good fortune when it comes to Litre' It was his good fortune to be the son of an East India Director, to be patronized in early life by Lord Welloeloy ; and always to have an influential friend at Court. By this good for tune he was well able to profit.' One Governer -Gene ral after another recognised his abilities, and ever in the most critical conjuncture sought his aseb.tanco and ad vice. All, with one exception, continued to regard him, long after their official connection had been severed, with the strongest feeliegs of admiration and affection. To the success of every administration under which be served he largely contributed. It is not always that the impression of men's minds is stamped most indelibly on the circumstances of the times when they occupy the highest stations. It often happens, on the other hand, that their most enduring actions are those to which another's name is given in the history of the world. There are many names which more frequently occur to the annalist of our Indian empire during the flr,t 33 years of the present century ; but there is no one man who had really a larger share in shaping the events which are the staple of his, or who did more in his gene neration to make our Anglo-Indian Empire what it is, than Charles Theophilus Metcalfe." M.R. CARDWELL'S RESOLUTION. (Prom Ike Daily News.) Whether Mr. Card weli'sßesolution—regarded merely as a party move —b e affirmed or negatived, is to us a matter of the most perfect indifference. Not so when it isconsidered widi reference to the vote of the hou=e will have in India. We therefore embrace what may be our last oppor: unity to adjur e the House of Commons to pause bdore it passes a Resolution—merely to subserve the interest.; of party—which may coavulse our Indian domiai )na from Arrakan to Peshawnr, and from Cape Comorin to the Himalaya—which may, in effect, " cry havoc, and let :lip the dogs of war" among hundreds of millions of human I:;;:ings._ Mr. Cardwell's Resolution aEGrms two propositions ; the fiat, that it is matter for regret and apprehension that Lord Eilenborough's Despatch was written ; the secand, that it is matter for regret and anprehenero❑ that the Despatch has been published. The latter affir mation f.i perfectly harmless. The propriety or impro priety of the publication of the Despatch is a❑ open question, upon which men may warrantably hold dif ferent opinions, and may express them without danger. The first of the two affirmations is of a very different character. It must be borne in mind that Mr. Cardwell's Reso lution sets out with declaring that the house " in its present state tf information abstains from expressing au opinion of the policy of any Proclamation which may have been issued by the Governor-General in relation to Oude." It then goes on to say that the house" has seen with regret and apprehension that her Majesty's Government have addressed to the Governor-General, through the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors * * * a Despatch condemning in strong terms the conduct of the Governor-General." Common sense arid common justice require that before censuring the Go vernment for condemning the conduct of the Governor- General," the house should inquire whether the conduct of the Governor-General was or was not deserving of blame. To censure the expression cf con , demnatioe by Government, while deelinirig to vindicate the conduct cf Governor-General, is virtually to declare that no Howe Gavernrueot has a right to condemn any thing that a Governor-General sees fit to say or de. It is to declare that tire Governor-General is not a Viceroy exercising delegated authority, but an absolute Sovereign invested with irreeperisible power during his period of id - lice, whom no one can call to account. It is to strip the Crown and the Company alike c f all power ; and to p ace the whole of India at the mercy of a clesp)t in Cal cuuta. The words i f the resolution mean this if they ve , an anything ; and for the members of the House of Commons to attempt to get out ul the difliceLy by say ing that they do not expect them to be so literally con strued, will be to trifle -card dourly with the discharge of an important duty. This first affirmation in the Re• solution is unfair, inasmuch as it candemn. Government upon exec:le the same amount of evidence which it de &area inentlicient to enable it to pronounce a final judg ment on the Governer-General ; it is foolishly suicidal, inasmuch as it disclaims on th e par t o f the Imperial Go vernment (of which in the wider sense of the word the House of Commons is a part) all right to control or cen sure their head-servant in India. This is a matter teat ()lucerne the home public mainly. Tee sense in which the Resolutien of Mr. Card well may be understood in Hindustan concern both England and India. It is maintained by some that Lord Canning's proclamation is calculated to inspire with a sense of in security every proprietor and possessor of land iu Oude. This denied by others. Our own opinion has been too often and too iraukly declared to render it necessary to re-state it here. We do nut take up that ground at preeent. It is sehient fur our purpose that the mean cf the prociainetion tee regards " confiscation," and its probable effect on the mind of the people cif India, ie disputed. Toe controversy can only be decided by further information from India. Even Mr. Caldwell admits that the House of Commons ought, "in its present state of iefermation," to ab• stain "frern expressing an opinion " on the subject. If, then, the House of Cemuions, " in the present state of its ieformatioe," censures the condemnation of Lord Cantiiiig's Proclamation by the Government, it will de- Blare that, in its opinion, Lord Canning's policy ,ought to be upheld even in the event of its proving to be a policy c f ruthless and indiscriminate confiscation. \Vs know that some who are prepared to supper. Mr. Card tell a Resolution will protest indignantly agaiu4 even Lhe suspicion of their being capable of harbouring such au intention. We beiieve them ; but we tell them that among those who are hounding them on to pass that Resolution, there are some who will not shrink from such a conclusion. There are some who unblueLinely avow their advocacy of aex vietig policy in Oude. The adoption of the Cardwell Resolution by the House of Commons will be interpreted tereu g hout India, if not as a decree for universal confiscation in ()tide, yet as a declaration that if such confiscation is decreed by the Governor-General it will receive the sanction of the Im perial Government ; and every native cf India will ask his neighbour, Is our turn to come next, The adoption of Mr. Cardwell'e motion, as it now stands, by the House of Commons, will be enough to co nver t every na ti ve o f India into adie•ley Ribboneonn or agrarian insurgent. So far we have canvassed the demerits of this Resolu tion, without relerence to its paternity. We have analysed it as it lies before ue, without asking who are its authors. The question of authorship i , ' however, a material one. We are given to understand that the Re solution was prepared by Mr. Cardwell; submitted on Sunday last for the approbation of the members of the ex-Cabinet, assembled in solemn conclave at Cambridge House ; and adopted by them. If this be true—as we its no doubt it substontially is—the Resolution is the Resolution of the la'• Government. It is brought for ward with their auction and connivance for the purpose of daelaging their rivals and successors in office. Now, in what relation do the ex-Government stand to that act of the present, which they now call upon the House of Commons to tonsure ? On tee 12th or 13 li of la.t month, Government received a copy of Lord Canning's draft proclamation accompanied by any explanation or any picas justiticatifs. Lord Ellenborough bad previously transmitted to Lord Canning a recommendation to adopt a different policy. Accordingly a despatch was written by Lord Ebenborough on the 13th, and dated on the 19th, of the month, re-enunciating the views be had expressed in his former missive. This despatch was rot seat off till the 26th of the month. On the same day that Government received the draft publication of 1, , ,rd Canning, a private letter from the Governor-Gene ral to Mr. Vernon Smith reached London. Mr. Smith was at that time absent from town, but he returned on the 17th of the month—one day before Lord Ellen• borough's despatch was written, two days before it was dated, nine days before it was sent off. Lord Canning'e letter was addressed to Mr. Vernon Smith under the im pression that that individual was still President of the Board of Coeteal. Among other extraordinary revela tions that were made in the course of the investigation of Mr. Butt's cage was the unwarrantable extent to which the most important business of the Board of Con. trol under Mr. Vernon Smith was conducted by conver sations, notes, and letters, conventionally called private. Lt this " private" letter from Lord Canning was an in timation that the Governor-General had transmitted by that mail a copy of his draft proclamation ; that he had been anxious to transmit explanations along with it ; but that he had for the present been hindred by pressure of business. This intimation was evidently made, not to the private friend of Lord Canning, but to the Presi dent of the Board of Control. It was the duty of Mr. Vernon Smith, seeing he had ceased to be President, to transmit the letter to the noble lord who bad become President. However jauntily Mr. Vernon Smith may ' now deny his sense of such an obligation, it is evident that he did then feel, arid that even now he still feels it. He alleges that Lord Ellenborough received dis courteously a previous communication by Mr. Smith of a letter front Lord Elphinstoae. No discourtesy on the part of Lord Ellenb , rough can exonerate Mr. Smith from the discharge of a duty which he owed to the State, not to Lord Ellenborough ; but the mare allegation of the untenable excuse proves Mr. Smith's conscioulsinteses that it wits needed. Nor is this all. Mr. Smitbstdo _ House of Commons last night, that he consuttac. L from a keep Palmerston as to whether he ought to Lord Ellenborough Lord Canning's letter. a sanctioned, the tnerAon, he says, advised, or at leaster:ton, therefore, keeping the letter secret. Lord P.iltrimean a certain that is particeps criminis. True it is by no have been kept L b Ord i4 Pal- Lerd Edenborough's despatch e w°sße.‘sion of Lord Can even if he had been case have been detained, nieg's letter. But it is the doubt. On the other hand, en titled to the benefit ppousdtsiibnLleoPrdthEatlleint hinorigteinisthathis Lordship's precipitan cy, ht his ignorance of Lord Ell e . b t o i r , u ti g o e7 f f r t iend s maythe letterallege t w h a a s t, n ceaie knowing ri from him in t h : offer mig explanations, in send a despstch open the terms . of which a votA of censure LordEl b Lord Canning's inteenttihoant might be founded—that, in short, en orough has f a lbn into a trap set for him by Lord Palmerston and Mr. Vernon Smith. We do not affirm that this is the case, but the ex-Ministers will find it rather difficult to rot ut the suspicion. At all events the circumstances of the case clearly irepar. to a motion for a vote of cen sure on Lord Ellenborough and his late colleagues, on account of an act to which the parties who have been accessarriee ao thiequivocelly factious character ; and all who support Mr. Ca,deell'e resolutions Yell neces sarily expose themselves is the charge of taking part in a factious move. Now vie are not going to use big words about utter aLd final lose of confidence. We leave it to others to ostracise for one, or even several isolated acts, any st!itesreas w'icse general conduct entitles him to Is conside red a Liberal. There is scarcely a liberal statesman a live itt whose favour the Liberal party have not, at one time or other found it necessary to pass an Act of Amnesty. Lord Palmerston has had repeated Acts of Amnesty for h's compli c ity i n th e scan d a l ous l y oppress i ve proceedings of the Sidmouth-Castlereagh Government, and for many subsequent escapades. Lord John Russell has had a, Act of Amnesty for his " finality" declaration. Sir James Graham has had an Act of Amnesty for his letter-opening practices. All the Tory Peelites have been embraced in a genera l A c t o f A mnesty f or t h e i r original sin of Toryism.

He need not be deterred by remonstrances about disservice done to the liberal cause; no good cause was ever really served by resort to unworthy means. (Prom the Morning flerald.) Mr. Smith has been, in his day, a remarkable man— remarkable for his self-conceit, remarkable for his arro.. gance, remarkable for his incapacity and inefficiency as a Minister. Our readers will not have forgotten the story of the despatch, or communication, or messag e , respecting the transport of troops, and the exhibition which was then afforded of this Mr. Smith by the officials of the steam company. But the exhibition of himself made last night transcends anything which conk have been effected oven by the masterly hand of Lord Derby. A letter containing an important announcement of the deepest public interest, affecting the policy of the Indian empire, is too trifling in its character to have engaged the consideration of the ex-Minister, and yet he consulted his noble friend the ex Premier upon it ! His natural instinct as a gentleman and a man of business did not impel him—or even, according to his own statement, suggest to him—to hand over to his successor a document, or at least to send an extract, ccntaining information addressed to him, not as Mr. Smith, but as President o f the Boa r d o f Control ; and yet his instinct as an unscrupulous politician suggested towt t hfh o ijec: h i orv i b m meie:mts a ae t ,:ten once that the eui;ject was worthy of a consul tation with his late chief. The affair is in keeping with this m b h y p a ti the d t spirit make rgersauclet disgraceful if enough d tn iihaeaHntudceobi division th at nadnt t dot we o t t eee trustri l b w ° r Li e so House t o and most disgraceful of party and political intrigues. THE NEW COALITION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Cambridge House conspirators have brought their arrangements to such maturity that we are enabled to lay before our readers not only the names of the principal members of the embryo Cabinet, but also a programme of its measures. The Marquis of CIANRICARDE will not, it is said, return to his former office, but the Noble Marquis will have a place in the Cabinet. It is said that the only condition which his Lordship affixed to his adhesion was that no unconstitutional interference with the "Social Evil" should be sanctioned by his future colleagues. Mr. SMITH will be made a Peer, but will pro bably waive his claims to the India Board. Lord CLARENDON has obtained leave to propose the " Mouchard,' Protection Bill," with a view of giving French Detectives greater facilities for the surveillance of Refugees. The NAL) Lord has also a scheme for dealing with the social evil, which he had partly carried out when last he was in office. The Noble E•trl would encourage misguided females to marry, by promising their husbands Consulates abroad. The French demand for a Conspiracy Ball will certainly be renewed ; and L3rd. PALMERSTON! having admitted the ENIPZROR'S grievance, has stipulated that his colleagues should assist him, in complying with the Itnperial request. Sir CIIIRLES WOOD is preparing a measure " to make better provision for the GREYS." The Right Hon. B tronet was only able to provide for two of his' brothers-in-law bafore he left office. We have also reason to believe that the Earl of SHAFTESBURY will be rewarded for his laudable efforts to give a religious character to the spolia tion of Oude. This pious nobleman will become Lord Privy S..!al, and will signalise his accession to office by the introduction of a measure for legalising Cambridge House as a place for Sunday worship. A mooting was held at Cambridge-house at 1 o'clock today—many members of the Opposition being unwilling to support Mr. Cardwell's motion, as Lord Ellenbormigh's resignation has deprived it of its legitimate character. Intrigue is busy—Mr. iIIYTER I S cares increase, and the position of his leaders has been seriously compromised by the ungentlemanlike conduct to which Mr. Smith confessed last night, in a speech which is most damaging to Lord Palmerston's character. There is no longer any doubt as to a hostile vote of the House of Commons being followed by an immediate dissolution, but the Cardwell motion being a merely factious manoeuvre, it is very im probable that the House of Commons will lend itself to the intrigue. It is said that Mr. Ayrton has come to terms with Mr. Halter. If this is so, the hov. gentle man had better look out for another constituency, as the eleetors of the Tower Hamlets are deter mined not to send a place-hunter to Parliament. Our Radical friends need not despair, as we have reason to know that they will rescue many seats from their Palmerstonian tenants. Let the Ballot be their cry, and no sham liberal intrigues ! TEE OATHS BILL. The following is the report of the oommitiee ap. pointed to draw up reasons for disagreeing with *is Lord's amendment to this bill : "1. Because the words on the true faith of a Christian' were originally introduced in the oaths to be taken by members of Parliament with a view to bind certain Roman Catholics, and were not in tended for the purpose of excluding persons of the Jewish persuasion. " 2. Because the exclusion of British subjects from seats in Parliament and offices in the state, on the ground of their religious opinions, is contrary to the general maxims of freedom of conscience. "3. Because no charge of disloyalty or unfitness for public employment and a fair share of legislative power has been alleged, or cau be alleged, against the Jewish community. "4. Because the infliction of disabilities upon any class of her Majesty's subjects solely on the ground of their conscientious adherence .to their is faith savours of per secution, and totally 111C0118ifi tent with those principles of religious liberty whi c h, in the case of mo re p owerf u l communities, have been applied by Parliament with such happy effects. "5. Because the Commons , . having already upon ten previous occasions, and in five P ar li aments, passed bills for removing the civil disabilities of the Jews, and having of late years a gree d t o s uch bills b y constantly increasing majorities, aro convinced that the opinion of their constituents and of the country at large, has been irrevocably pronounced in favour of the removal of such disa bilities. " 6. Because such bills have been supported by many of the most eminent members of bLith Houses of Parliament, who, while differing upo n o th er political questions, have concurred iu th e justice and expediency of measures for the re lief of the Jews. "7. Because the right of the electors of the united Kingdom have been peculiarly affected by a law which has been construed to prevent the ad mission to the House of Commons of persona who have been lawfully returned as members of that louse. 0 . Because the Ist and 2d and 3d clauses of the lyll ate open to the constructionthatt ould the near oath which th e f ormer o f t h em contains,be taken nu t on l y i n a ll cases w h ere the oaths s of alle giauc3 and supremacy are at present required, though without the oath of abjuration the result of which eimstruction, if the bill should p ass into Itw without the s,hclauv, would be to exclude the Jews from practising as solicitors and barris ters, and from offices under the crown, to which employments and offices they are now admitted. "9. Because such result would be contrary to the intention of the two Houses of Parliament, ap pearing from the 6.h clause, and from the title of the bill under consideration." rs.,-4 011 ~• nsul 14, rom once d to r C. .nor- iver, Knee ral. all all all jlOO 1286 d all 2s. 100 £ll 20i 20 100 100 100 100 all all all all 49i 83 2 21g lgi St. 12i 12.
