Sugars have been in increased request, the refiners having operated largely in the stronger finalities ; good and fine grocery descriptions have b een taken, to a fair extent, for home consumption. In the refined markets, however, there has been only 4 moderate b us i n ess transacted on previous terms. Tea has been dull ; no change, however, has taken P l ace in prices. For coffee the demand has been t° a fair extent, full rates having been obtained for good and fi ne qua lities7of Jamaica and plantation Ceylon. Rice has been largely dealt in at enhanced v alues, an advance of about 3d. per cwt. having b een established on the superior qualities of East In dia. Moderate transactions have been recorded in t uta and cocoa, without material alteration in prices. i fruit a limited business has taken place in currants, elli etlY for present requirements. The dealers , 40 tv ever, are looking for advices from the islands respecting the new crop, which, it is expected, will n et arrive until a - very late period of the season. u altpetre has been moderately active at about Previous rat e s, and in tallow the dealings ha ve den on a limited scale for both present and for bard delivery, and prices generally show a down- Ward tendency. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi -488 Was moderately active, and prices were firmly ma intained, The sales were 10,000 bales. The first instalment of 25 per cent. is due to-day 1)11 the East Indian Railway Company's new d e. uelltures of £1,500,000. There is a steady demand for money at previous rates. Q , old is still leaving the Bank of England in 81 4411 quantities, £22,000 having been sent away Yeeterday. In addition to the amounts thus appro- Anated, the whole of the remittances received from America are purchased for exportation.

S. — • appalling occurrence has happ e ned at the liotwellrocks, itlear this city. Those who are acquainted with Clifton will e f• amiliar with the "black rocks." The Durdham Downs to out to the very summit of those cliffs, and, with a view il t a lla safety of the public, a wall of about five feet high 'leen built along them. At about seven o'clock this morningthe two quarrymen were •crossing the upper part of :Le rocks, and when about halfway down the cliff they ob :"'scl, amongst a mass of large blocks of stone, the body of . man, lifeless and sadly mangled. They gave an alarm, 7d a policeman got the body down the rock, and deposited in an outhouse. The face and head had been frightfully injured, and one of the legs appeared also to have been Kn. On examining the top of the rock th ere were f ound, at about five or six feet from the spot where the body Must have gone over, two pools of b lood, a nd also marks as if a ,, b ody had been rolled along ; but t he blood did not approach the rock, nor is there anything in the condition of th e man's c lothes or linen to account for its presence. A hat, whi c h i s v erY much cut, was picked up near the s p ot, and no doubt belonged to the deceased. The body has since been identified as that of Mr. Pro pert, a cooper, a marri ed man, w ith five c hildren. P COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.--A collision occurred at an early hour on Tuesday morning on the Caledonian Railway near Edinburgh. Official infer -I:nation was declined, but we understand t hat the collision took place not far from Slateford, between the night mail train from the south and the goods train. The mail train, Which is due at Lothian road about half an hour after mid night, was rather late, and dashed into a train of goods trucks which were being shunted on to the Haymarket station. Alarming rumours were abundant about the re sults of the accident, but we believe the most serious injury is that one gentleman, a passenger in the mail train, had his leg fractured, and another passenger was severely bruised. Others were injured, but not to any serious erent.--Scotantan, SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. , .thare Railways. p aid. Closing 1 Business 10( I ! Price.

The SPEAKEIt took the chair at half-past twelve o'clock, the house not having been formed before. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Beauchamp Almshouses Estate, Domvile's Estate, Duke of Norfolk's Estate, Earl of Longford's Estate, and Gius tiniani's Naturalisation. SUPPLY. The house went into committee of supply. On the vote of £100,440 for the maintenance of the Royal parks, Colonel DUNNE said that he drew the attention of the house yesterday to the enormous taxation for purely metro politan purposes. It was too late this session to bring the matter before the house, but he gave notice that next ses sion he would do so. In the meantime he would moon that the vote be reduced by £lB,OOO. Sir J. SHELLEY referred to the observations of the First Commissioner of Works yesterday, who, blamed hon. members who had differed from him in regard to the Ride in Kensington-gardens, and he accused these hon. members for the part they took in the agitation on this subject, of being influenced by a desire of popularity. He had also to complain of the attack which the hon. member had made oa the vestries of the metropolitan parishes in reference to this matter. Now, from the position in which the metro polis was placed, the vestries were the guardians of the public interest. He did not consider that in those remarks the right hon. gentleman was likely to acquire much popur larity for himself or for the Government of which he was a member. He very much doubted whether the right hon. gentleman, who was cap-in-hand to the Town Council of Hertford, would treat the expression of an opinion from the constituency of that town, which had the honour to return him to Parliament, with so much disregard. He denied that the agitation in the metropolis on this subject was one-sided, for the aristocratic vestry of St. George's had:memorialised against the altera tions in the gardens, which they called " Cowper's Folly." (Laughter.) He also adverted to the mode in which memo rials in favour of the alteration in the gardens had been got up, and read an advertisement which appeared in the Times addressed to persons who wished to sign a memorial to the Chief Commissioner of Works on the subject. The adver tisement stated where the memorial was lying, and said if it were inconvenient to persons to attend there they might forward their cards or signatures by post. He strongly protested against signatures being obtained in manner. With respect to the ride itself, if it was to be a continuation of Rotten-row it must be widened to a consi derable extent, and he would ask the right hon. gentleman if he considered that a gravel road of such width would be an improvement to Kensington-gardens. And yet in order to render it a safe resort for equestrians it must be so widened, He thought, also, that they should have some explanation respecting the result realised by the sum of £17,000 voted for the Serpentine. He saw on the grounds fountains without water—or figures holding water cans— and unless the water were made to ascend it could not flow through these cans. He would further wish for some state ment as related to the sum of £lB,OOO for the drainage of Richmond-park. Mr. B. COCHRANE expressed a hope that Storey's Gate would be thrown open, and strongly sondenmed the people generally being taxed to so large an extent for me tropolitan purposes. After some remarks from Mr. SMITH and Mr. BARROW, Mr. AYRTON said he would prefer seeing the matter placed in the hands of some metropolitan body, who would be tie best able to manage these parks, and would relieve the Government from the trouble of dealing with them in future. Mr. HENLEY was opposed to this opening of Storey's Gate. Lord FERMOY said he thought that in respect to the parks, too much consi ieration had been shown for those who rode on horseback. If any agitation on this question had arisen, kis right hon friend (Mr. Cowper) was the cause of it, because he was the innovator, and broke down what he (Lord Fermoy) thought a good custom, in depriving those who were unable to ride of a portion of the gardens. The right hon. gentleman had commenced a dangerous practice in appealing to the public on this rubject, a game at which two can play. In the park he had seen the Green men taking the cards of those who were in favour of the views of his right hon. friend. [LEFT SITTING.] SPORTING INT_ELLIGENCE. READING RACES-THURSDAY.

If the fate of the nation hung on that Lour the solemnity could hardly be greater. And who can wonder ? If the shoal should slip by unseen, while the people were asleep , or a t church , or if it should 'be startled from its course, the Catholic towns al ong t h e Mediterranean would be disappointed of 30,000 ba rre l s of their Lent d i et, and the coast population of Cornwall would miss their yearly gains, and be in despair how to pass the winter. At best, times are not so good as they were. The Catholic nations do not keep Len t as formerly ; and f rom one cause or another the fishery falls off, and there must be no further loss from preventable accident. —Once a Week. A WANDERING SCOT.-7A recent traveller from the Rhine tells us of a peculiarity of English co s tume for which we are becoming very remarkable. It was at Co • logne that the last monstrosity figured, in the person of a Scotch gentleman, for so he was presumed to be. The gentl em an wore a short jacket—the true thing—a large wide-awake, and a kilt of the shortest proportions—with out crinoline. The horr or of the ladies of Cologne may be imagined, and he was followed about. by the police, after having been subjected to a cross-questioning as to whether or not he had forgotten any of his nether apparel at his hotel. In German p h ra seology, the proc ee di ng was qu it e wiederi ff.—Court Journal • LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY), SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND BANKERS-IMPORTANT DECI SION-HO WARD V. LLOYD AND OTHERS. Plaintiff is a merchant, and defendants are the eminent bankers of Lothbury. The action was brought to recover £1 damages through the alleged non-presentation of a bill of exchange accepted by plaintiff. Plaintiff said the bill was payable at his house, and the money was there ready upon the morning when it became due. The bill was not presented until the evening, when the notary applied and demanded the 2s. 6d. for noting. Plaintiff objected to paythe charge, and was referred to the bank. The next day plaintiff went to the bank and complained that the bill had not been regularly presented. The bank clerk, however, said that it had been, and plaintiff then paid the money for the bill and the 2e. 6d. His Honour had never heard of an action of this kind before. What damages had plaintiff sustained ? Plaintiff—l had to go backwards and forwards once or twice, and my name is on the black list as that of a person whose bill has been protested. His Honour—Prove that, and it may possibly help you in your action for damages. The case will be adjourned that I may look into the law. To-day Mr. Bower appeared for the defendants, and after stating that the 2s. 6d. had been paid into court, quoted a well known case (Mackintosh v. Haydon) in support of his case. In addition to this, he was prepared to prove that plaintiff never tendered the money to the notary. Plaintiff was cross-examined as to the payment of the money. Ho admitted that he had not tendered the-money in the evening. Mr. Brown then said that the bank clerk had mistaken the house, and the notary was sent the same evening. The fact was, the clerk went to a different street, and called upon a person having a name similar to plaintiff, and he was in formed that no money was left out. Mr. Brown contended that plaintiff could not recover. His Honour said plaintiff could not recover beyond the 2s. 6d. He might sue the publishers of the Black List for publishing his name. POLICE INT.ELLIGEN CE-( THIS DAT .) BOW-STREET. THE ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER AT COLNEY HATCH LUNATIC ASYLUM.—William Slater and William Vivian, formerly employed as attendants at the Colney Hatch Lu natic Asylum, were placed at the bar, in accordance with remand, charged with causing the death of an inmate named William Swift. Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis defended both prisoners. It will be recollected that the defendants deny altogether that the injuries which caused the death of deceased occur red while he was in their care, but that they must have taken place while he was in charge of another keeper on the Thursday previous. The first witness called to-day was Mr. G. S. Brent, who said—l am deputy-coroner for Middlesex. I upon the 17th of May held an inquest of the body of Wm. Swift, an inmate of Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. The defendant Vivian was examined as a wit ness, and I produce his deposition. Mr. Lewis objected to the deposition being taken in evidence against one of his clients. The point has not ye. been decided whether such was evidence or not. Mr. Henry—There are decisions both ways. I shall re ceive it to-day, and then the question whether I have acted properly can be decided by the judges. The witness proceeded to read the deposition. Mr. Lewis objected. Mr. Henry—ls the. statement one taken on oath, read ever, and signed by the witness ? Mr. Brent said, except in cases of murder or manslaughter, the evidence taken at a coroner's inquest is not read over and signed by the witness. Mr. Henry—Then, in fact, the paper is a note and not a deposition; and the witness (Mr. Brent) could legally refresh his memory by referring to the paper as a note. Mr. Lewis said, if it was not a deposition, it ought not to be received at all. Mr. Henry—That is the same point as you previously raised. lam aware there are eases both ways, and I shall receive it. The statement was as follows :—The deceased was an in mate of No. 11 ward ; there are three keepers to that ward, and forty-three patients, some of whom were violent. Oa Thursday, at half-past one o'clock, the deceased was much excited. On Saturday, May 12, he said he had been work ing very hard all night. That was in his ward, which was a padded room. There were only two rooms in that ward, which are padded. The deceased had not shown any violence while he was in the ward. On Saturday evening, about lialf-past six o'clock, he was seised with an epileptic fit. I took him into the padded room, and remained with him until it was over. Slater was with us. I left him alone for 10 minutes to attend to other patients. I then went with another attendant to him, and he said he was better. I undressed him and put him to bed. I I had to attend the other paticnts'supper. I then took the deceased his supper, and found him in a very low state. I sent for Mr. Tyerman at 20 minutes to eight. I remained until he came, which was about three minutes afterwards. lie was then dead. I know that he had a struggle in the C ward, but did not know that he had sustained injuries. He said nothing about his injuries. He wasvery talkative. He might have been out of sight of an attendant for a short time. He was not, so far as I know, the subject of any violence from any other person while he was in my ward. By Mr. Lewis.—No deposition was signed by the wit ness, or was the statement read over to him. I only took down the portions of statements that I considered material, not the whole. I can't say that the jury visited the differ ent wards before they returned their verdict. They left my room and returned an open verdict. William Gann—l am one of the attendants of the C ward at Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. The deceased man Swift was one of the persons under my care until Thursday th► 10th of May. He had been so from the Bth of March. On the 9th of May Swift was in his bedroom, and in consequence of hearing a noise I went to the door. I unlocked the door and before I had time to speak to him Swift struck me in the eye, and seized me by the necktie. I said " I've got you." I found that I was being strangled. I called on Cross, a patient, to render me assistance. I struck Swift in the pit of the stomach, and we fell together. I know nothing more after that until I was released by another attendant. When I came to myself Swift was in bed. I did not do more than was sufficient for self-defence. When I recovered and got up, 1 was bleed ing from the nose and mouth. We fell on our side. I did not fall upon him or throw myself upon him. The room in which this struggle took place was not padded. When I locked Swift up in his bedroom, he made no complaint of being hurt. He wished me good night as usual. I saw him the next morning. He appeared as usual. He showed me the bruise on the pit of the stomach, when I reported it to the proper person. He made no allusion to the struggle which took place between us on the previous night. Swift used to sweep the ward out every morning, and he came as usual that morning for his broom. He walked about and eat his breakfast and dinner as usual. There appeared nothing the matter with him. After dinner I took him down and handed him over to No. 11 Ward, by order of Dr. Tyerman, and gave him over to the attendant, the defendant 'Vivian, and another named Grover. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Swift was very excited on the occasion he struggled with me. I think he laboured under the delusion that he was always seeing the Queen. When he struck me he appeared to have lost all control over himself. I have known cases where, when the paroxysms were over, patients have never mentioned the circumstance. Swift was a strong powerful man, and it required great exertion to throw him down. I have no recollection of anything that took place after we were down together. I struck Swift and we both fell together. I hit him as hard as I could. It was near the pit of the stomach. It was not near the breast bone. The moment the blow was struck we both fell. He had still hold of my necktie. I was in sensible for some time after I fell with Swift. There are 15 or 16 wards in the asylum. No. 11 is termed the re fractory ward. The patients frnn the different wards who are refractory are all sent to No. 11. I have never done duty in the ward, so I cannot say whether all the patients are refractory. I don't recollect telling the coroner I could not recollect how we fell. When Swift came to the Asylum in March there were traces of injuries on the wrist. I have seen Swift sparring in the wards. I have seen him spar with a man named Atkins. On one occasion he got a black eye. That was in March, shortly after his admission. I don't know either of the 'witnesses, Clark or Varney, who have beeilipamined. Charles Read—l am an attenTlgnt. I have charge of C ward. I recollect the 9th of May, when I was called to the assistance of the last witness by one of the patients. When I went into the room I saw Gann lying on the floor. Swift had got him fast by the neck. I took hold of his hand, and asked him twice to let go, and he did so. I told him to get into bed, which he . did. Gann and himself left the room together, after locking the door on Swift. Gann was bleeding at the mouth and nose. Swift appeared in a good state when we left him. He appeared a little excited, but did not complain of any injury. I visited him again the same night about an hour after we locked up. He was then in a good state, as he spoke ♦ery cheerfully, and was not at all excited. He did not appear to be suffering from any injury, nor did he make any complaint. I saw him next day. He appeared in his usual health and spirits. By Mr. Henry—Swift was raising himself up when I first saw him. He still held Gana by the necktie. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Swift was holding Gann down. I have been at the asylum. I have seen lunatics ill-treated by other lunatics, and those so injured I have known to complain of pain. I have known Swift to be violent very often. He has never complained to me of any injury. By the Magistrate—There was no bedstead in Swift's room. His bed was a mattress on the floor, with all the clothing complete. It was a bed complete without a bedstead. Thomas John Ford—l am one of the head attendants on the male side at Colney Hatch Asylum. On Saturday, the 12th of May, the day of Swift's death, I saw him between four and five, He was in the airing court. He appeared in his ordinary health and spirits. I know the padded 102 li 1?61 4/ 6 2.11.101 16 2.14.6 7.4.0 room in Ward No. 11. The bed is on the padded floor. There is a slight projection attached to the door, but that is padded. There is no article of furniture in the room. Mr. Henry—ls that so in all the padded rooms. Witness—Yes. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was merely passing through the airing court when I saw Swift. There were a great number of others prasent. Ho made no mention to me of the injury on his stomach. I assume his health was perfect, because he spoke to me in his usual high-down strain. Ile laboured under the delusion that he had slain 300 Catholics He used to think such a circumstance of groat merit. Air. Sleigh said that was the whole of the evidence of that part of the case; but he had some medical gentlemen in at tendance to speak to the cause of death, after hearing the whole of the evidence. Mr. Henry—Th enthe whole of the evidence already taken must be read over to them, and then the question as to their opinion of the ammo of death could be put to them. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, having read the evidence, Mr. Sleigh called several medical gentlemen, whose evir deuce corroborated that of the surgeon of the asylum. The prisoners were then committed for trial, bail being accepted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYINTI Mu. DICTIN.—Giulio Barrafaldi, an Italian, formerly in. the band of the 60th Rifles, was charged be fore Mr. T•yrwhitt with creating a disturbance at the house of Mr. Di stin, musical instrument maker, 9, Great New port-street. It app eared that the accused, a man of a very excitable tempernment, had been in the habit, for some past, of going to Mr. Distin's shop, and causing great annoyance, on one occasion it taking four constables to remove him. The porter of St. Martin's Workhouse (Brennan) said the prisoner had been an inmate of the house, and was very troublesome. He understood he had been in the band of the 60th Rifles, and received his discharge. Mr. Tyrwhitt ,aid he supposed having been a musician, and being a man of an excitable disposition, and atoreigner, he had been attracted to Mr. Distin's shop by the instru ments. He thought he had better be taken to the work- Louse and the authorities there could see the Sardinian Am bassador, the man being an Italian, and, perhaps, he would have him sent home. Mr. Albert having acted as interpreter, and explained the case to the man, he was taken away by a constable to the office of the Strand Union. THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. The House of Lords yesterday afternoon affirmed the ( I .c. cision of the Court of Session in the appeal case of Cairn - *oils v. Lorimer, with costs. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited quantity of home-grown wheat was on offer here to-day. The attendance of millers was small, nevertheless both red and white qualities were taken off at about Monday's currency. The general quality of the samples was by no means good. The imports of foreign wheat continue on a limited scale. Importers of all kinds, however, are firm in their demands, and late rates were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were less active, at about pre vious rates. Scarcely any barley was on show, and all kinds moved off steadily, at very full prices. We have no change to notice in the value of malt, which moved off slowly. There was a good consumptive inquiry for oats, at ex treme rates. Both beans and peas were steady, but country flour was a dull inquiry. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

SMOKING IN RAILWAY CARRIAGES. —ACTION FOR ASSAULT.—At the Liverpool assizes, yesterday, Mr. Collinge, an agent and accountant of Manchester, brought an action against a cotton-spinner named Morris (residing at Hebden-bridge), to recover damages for an rAssault com mitted in a railway carriage on the 13th June last. Mr. Collinge was travelling (by Lancashire arid Yorkshire) from Manchester to Northampton. He was in a second class carriage, and as far as Eastwood we: a alone. There Morris got in, and on entering called the guard to give him a light to his cigar. Mr. Collinge objocto. Ito smoking, as he was very unwell, and threatened to report the guard. Morris then struck Collinge several blo•Aci with the fist, in juring him considerably, and sousing un attack of palpita tion of the heart. The defence war 3 that the assault was not so serious as described. Verldid for the plaintiff— damages, £l5. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord CLYDE was present in the house this evening. His lordship occupied one of the front seats on the cross benches. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. The Archbishop of YORK took the oaths and his seat on his elevation to an Archbishopric. The right rev. prelate was introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA) BILL. . . On the motion that this bill be read a first time, The Earl of ELLE NBOROUGH said he distrusted this bill altogether, and therefore he most strenuously ob jected to it. He had objected to the bill as it applied to officers, and another of his objections was that he had great doubts as to whether the bill, as it at present stood, did not altogether extinguish the local army while it extin guished the power by which that army was raised. It was usual when such extensive alterations were contem plated to introduce some proviso declaring all such things as had been done before the power was extinguished should hold good. He thought such a precautionary enactment ought to be introduced into the bill. The Duke of ARGYLL did not think that the bill had that effect. Of course, tho objection of the noble earl could ba met by an amendment. • After a few words from the LORD CUANCELLOX, the bill was read a first time. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that to morrow he should ask a question as to whether any esti mate had been received from Hong Kong relative to the cost of the transport of the troops to China. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (1858) AMENDMENT ACT. This bill was read a third time and passed, after an amendment to one of the clauses had been agreed to. LANDED PROPERTY ACT IMPROVEMENT ___._ (IRELAND) BILL. The committee on this bill was postponed. TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) BILL. On the bringing up the report of amendments on this bill, a conversation ensued upOn the various clauses of the bill, but the report was ultimately received. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Earl GRAN VILLE moved that, with regard to the Ecclesiasti cal Commission Bill, on account of various ques tions rela ting to the management of episcopal estates, and to the securing regular incomes to the bishops, and an in creasing surplus to the common fund havinglong been under consideration, and the final settlement hitherto delayed, whereby the proceedings for the enfranchisement of *any church leaseholds have been already protracted to an extent injurious to those concerned ; and as these matters are treated and determined in a manner whi ich has secured general approval, the circumstances which render legislation on the subject of the said bill ex pedient are of such real urgency as to render the im mediate consideration of the same necessary. The motion was agreed to. Earl GRANVILLE then moved the second reading of the bill. The Earl of DERBY said as it was thought desirable that this bill should pass this session he should not oppose it, but he thought the 11th clause, which affected the vest ing of certain property permanently in the hands of the commissioners, ought at all events to be postponed. After a few words from several noble lords, the bill was read a second time. THE RIFLE VOLUNTEER CORPS BILL. This bill went through committee. INDUSTRIAL MUSEUMS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The amendments to this bill were brought up and agreed to, and the bill was read a third time. TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, with some verbal amendments. GUNPOWDER, &c., BILL. The bill was read a second time. The Census (Scotland) Bill and Corrupt Practices Pre vention Act (1854) Continuance Bill then passed through committee. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Earl DERBY asked the noble earl opposite whether ha would to-morrow move a resolution as to the urgency of passing other bills, as it would be very important that such a resolution should be moved in order that the necessity of such urgency should be considered previously to some noble Lords leaving town. Earl GRANVILLE said it would be impossible to move such a resolution with reference to bills to come up from the Commons, and with reference to which urgency might be required. Earl DERBY asked whether the noble earl would give notice with reference to those bills to-morrow. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that doing so would give rise to two discussions : one on the motion and another on the bills. The subject then dropped, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past one o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Hamilton and Strathaven Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. LAING, on moving that the house go into com mittee, appealed to hon. members who had motions on the paper lo postpone them until the evening sitting. There were 200 votes still to be taken, and the only chance of getting through the business in reasonable time was fur hon. memters in future to adopt the course he suggested should be taken this day. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. ADDERLEY, who had a motion on the paper for the production of a plan and estimate made for the National Gallery by Captain Fowkes—said that the plan and es timate in question were in possession of the First Commis- sioner of Works, and he understood it was to be rejected on the ground of official etiquette,' hile another of an inferior character was about to be adopted. The National Gallery was built under most unfortunate circumstances for the architect, and the consequence was that it was a very de fective: building, considering the purpose to which it was devoted. In order to afford more accommodation a pro posal was made to the Government of Lord Derby.. Captain Fowkes was well known for his architectural talent, and he understood the objection to his plan proceeded from the Royal Academy, who had no right to interfere at all, as they were merely tenants at will. The hon. member concluded by moving for the production of the plan and estimate of Captain Fowkes, or any other plan for alteration in the National Gallery now under consideration of the First Commissioner of Works, and of any cones. pondence thereon. Mr. CONINGHAM protested against the course pursued in reference to Captain Fowkes, which he attributed to occult influence. The result was that the public interest was endangered, and he suggested that any alterations in the National Gallery should be postponed until next session. Mr. COWPER said he was glad this question was put, because it gave him an opportunity oi! making some ex planations in respect to this subject. Capt.Fowkes' plan had been rejected by him (Mr. Cowper), not on the ground of official etiquette, for there was no etiquette that would pre vent the Board of Works employing C'apt. Fowkes ; in deed, from what he had already performed there could b no doubt of his architectural ability. He had not rejected the plan of Capt. Fowkes for any other real ton than that he considered it a bad one. (Hear.) He th, ought, with re gard to the National Gallery pictures, that they could not long remain in their present position, and there should be a gallery erected purposely for them in Tz .afalgar-square, Burlington House, or elsewhere. He consic tered that what they should now do was to provide for the a ccommodation of these pictures for some time, and it was p. "oposed to use the central hall for that purpose. His noble friend at the head of the Government had made a suggestion I to that effect last year, and accordingly Mr. Pennethorne 1 m epared and sent in the plan. ItTothing further, however, ha el been done, and Capt. Fowkes submitted his plan to tl ie Board of Works. At first he approved of that plan, ar el referred it to the members of the Royal Academy, whit b. was com posed not only of eminent painters, but also c tf architects practically acquainted with the subject. Their' remarks in reference to it were not made in a spirit of dicta lion, but to afford all the assistance in their power to enable the Govern. The ment to come to a correct conclusion on th e r. in atte plan would certainly introduce some , architectur al in 3135 did prove plan in the building, but he objected to it be [ muse it not go far enough, or it went too far. The rigb ,t hon. gen tleman, having referred in detail t o the plan i n . support of his opinion, said that the estima ted. cost would be £30,000, but he believed it would r eally be about £50,000. He could not comply with all the hon. member required, but he promised that he would pro d u ce the correapondenoe alluded to, if the hon. mem b er would allow the amendment to be negatived. After a few words from Lord J. MANNERS, Lord PALMERSTON oak 1 he thought it 'would ba readily admitted that thehole space of the National Gal lery should be given up forthe' pictures it contained. How ever, any alterations for that pt upose must be merely of a temporary use, as the bequests which might be looked for ward to would increase the nut aber of pictures to an extent that would render the Nation al Gallery unsuited to their exhibition. The question cam le simply to this, that by an outlay of £13,000 or £14,000 t hey would make the galle r y suitable for the pictures for so me years. (Hear.) After some further diseussi , on the amendment was with" drawn, and the subject dropped. AUDIT OF THE CIVIL SERVICE. Sir F. BARING moved thE , following :—" That tkte ap propriation and audit of the moneys voted for the Civil Ser. vice Estimates are insufficient wad unsatisfactory, and re quire early amendment." The i ight hon. baronet said he didnot bring this motion for the purpo se of of the Government, but in order to induce the house to record their op an ion on the subject. complaining The house was aware that the • report of the select commit tee on public motleys bad eat( gl that the present system of
