ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT---RICKETS V. MARTIN. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is a suit for specific performance of a contract for the sale of a lease of a house, No. 2, Hyde Park, for the term of 92 years, for £5,600, with interest at 5 per cent., and a ground rent of £5O per annum ; together with a coach-house and stable at £5OO, with interest at 5 per cent., and £5 of ground rent.

HOUSE OF LDRDS—(TnIs EVENING.) Their lordships asse:nbled at four o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. annum. His Honour, on considering the written and oral evidence produced, came to the conclusion that he could decree specific perfcrmanco of this contract. His Honour dis missed the plaintiff's bill, with costs, reserving to the plaintiff any remedy which he may have at law against the estate of John Balls for a breach of contract, or any damages that a breach of contract has entailed upon him. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ;Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Wightman and Blackburn.) HOOD V. SMITH. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a clerk in in the City, to recover damages against the defendant, a solicitor, for negligence. The action was tried before Mr. Justice Hill, and resulted in .a verdict for the plaintiff, with , £240 damages. Mr. R. P. Collier moved for a rule to set aside the ver dict, on the ground that it was against the evidence, and that the damages were excessive. The plaintiff purchased a house, described as 12, South Albion-road, Dalston, part of the property of Mr. Hughes, the attorney, of which such frauds were perpetrated, and in respect of which he was undergoing penal servitude. After the purchase, which took place at a sale by action, the plaintiff Oak the titles to defendant to have the necessary conveyance made out, but it turned oat that instead of the house the plaintiff had purchased another house (No 17) which was conveyed to her, both houses being equally valuable, and mortgaged by Hughes to such an extent as to make them worthless. It was main tained that the plaintiff had not sustained any real loss by the substitution of one house fod another, but the plaintiff availed himself of the mistake of the attorney to maks him liable. The Royal assent was given by commission to the fol lowing bills : The Consolidated Fund (E 9,500,000). Oxford University. Marriages Extra Parochial Places. Common Lodging-houses "(Ireland). Matlock Water. Great Western (Clifton Extension). Limerick and Ennis. Manchester and Buxton Road. Me ropolitan Railway. Banbridge Junction Railway. Belfast and County L'own Railway.

Several bills having been brought up from the Commons, Their lordships adjourned until Monday, June 4. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING-) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW \IBM Lord G.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of £.5,000, with interest, paid as a depoat for the lease of her Majesty's Theatre, which the plaintiff never received. The cause was originally tried at Guildhall, and a verdict given for the plaintiff, but a rule was obtained by Mr. Bovill for a new trial, and Mr. Lush this morning showed cause against it. The case would last the whole day. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod summoned the members to the Upper House to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills (for which see Lords' re port). PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented praying for a more effi cient provision for the poor blind in Ireland ; in favour of the repeal of the excise duty on paper; from Lancashire, to the effect that the house should maintain its privileges intact in respect to originating bills of taxation; against the repeal of the wine duty, &c. ASSESSED TAXES AND CUSTOMS EXCISE ALLEGED INTERCEPTION OF ROYAL CORRESPONDENCE. DU rms, ace. Lord R.

CONVOCATION IN THE PROVINCES OF CAN- The Prussian journals are now engaged in a dis cussion as to the means whereby the contents of a despatch from the Prince Regent to the Prince Consort of England have been brought to the know ledge of the French Government ; and an interview has taken place between the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the French Ambassador at Berlin, and M. von Schleinitz, the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject. The journals speak of thefts of despatches having been dis covered, and one states that the contents of the despatch in question can only have become known through an indiscreet communication in Minis terial circles on the English side of the Channel. A Dusseldorf paper has the following account of the interview between M. Schleinitz and the French Ambassador, which it states it has received from a good source : " At the latter end of the preceding month the French Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, called on the Mini ster of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Schleinitz, and after some civilities, spoke of the value which the Emperor placed upon the friendship of Prussia. Exclusively to avoid any unpleasantness on the subject, the prince requested M. Schleinitz to give him any information he possessed as to the authenticity of a document the copy of which he presented. It purported to be a letter sent from the Prince Regent to the Prince Con sort of England, in which family matters were spoken of, and then some remarks on the politics of the day were added, in which the Emperor Napo leon 111. happened to be mentioned. M. Schleinitz replied that he could give no information respecting the document, since he was not acquainted with the private correspondence of that high personage. His excellency, however, urged that he must receive explanations upon the matter. His Imperial master had always entertained the beit wishes towards Prussia, and had believed that his sen timents were reciprocated by that country, and yet Prussian assurances and the expressions con tained in the letter he produced were opposed to that belief. Baron Schleinitz hereupon an swered that he was Minister in a constitutional State, and that the Ministry of his country were respon sible for all official political negotiations and corre spondence with foreign countries; and that, if any inquiry on the matter should take place, he would not withhold the information sought, in case reasons of State did not forbid such a communi cation to be made. Respecting the correspondence which the Prince Regent personally had with his august friends or relations, the Minister of a constitutional country had not the right to con trol the private communications of the Prince Regent, especially since they had no official character. These reasons, and the respect which must be most carefully preserved in a constitu tional country towards the highest personage, for bade the 'Minister to initiate an investigation, or to hold an inquiry whether the document were genuine or not. The French Ambassador, apparently pre pared for this objection, replied that his inquiry was purely of a formal nature, and could in no way interfere with the political importance of a good understanding between France and Prussia; but as the official assurances and the contents of the letter were so widely opposed, it would be plainly seen and pointed out by M. Schleinitz that the copy of the document was not genuine. M. Schleinitz answered that it was no question for him whether the copy were forged, as he naturally could not decide that point, since he neither knew any thing of the private correspondence cf the Prince Regent, nor could he be concerned in it. TERBURY AND YORK. Mr. K INNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether her Majesty's Government had advised the Queen to sanction the sitting of Convoca tion in the provinces of Canterbury and York for any other than the ordinary purpose of adjournment. Sir G. C. LEWIS said, that last February there had been a resolution by Convocation for an address to her Majesty, praying that she should direct the revision of the 29th canon, which provided that a father should not be godfather to his child. SALE A ND PURCHASE OF GOVERNMENT LAND AT PORTSMOUTH. Lord W. GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for War whether the land, or a portion of it, which had re cently been bought at a high price by Government for tte defences of Portsmouth was not formerly in the pos session of Government, and sold by them a few years back at a comparatively cheap rate; whether there was not, at the time of selling such land, an official plan for the defence of Portsmouth, embracing such land, in the hands of Government, or of the military au thorities ; and, wh.-ther he would lay upon the table of the house a return of the price at which the land was sold, the price at which the land has been rebought, and the namo of the official who sanctioned the sale. Mr. S HERBERT said that the facts were, that about twenty years ago, it had been deemed advisable to sell the land in question for £20,000, and now it was considered de sirable to purchase it for a snm of £28,000. INDIA. Mr. H. B. SIIERIDAN asked the Secretary of State for India whether instructions had been sent to the Indian Government to take steps to. reduce the amount promised by the Home Government for compensation for losses by the Indian mutiny : and whether or not a special de spatch to India was sent about January last upon the subject of these compensations ; and if so, wh ther there was any objection to lay that despatch, or the last despatch upon the subject, upon the table of th house : and, further, whether the million ster ling awarded by the Home Government, as compensation to sufferers by the Indian Mutiny, was to be the minimum as well as the maximum of such compensation. If it was the intention of the Imperial Government to deduct English income tax from the interest payable on promissory notes of the Indian Government. where such interest was payable in this country by drafts on the India Treasuries: Whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to allow the Indian Government to deduct Indian income tax from the interest payable on promissory notes of the Indian Government after English income tax had been already deducted from such interest in this country : Or, whether, in other words, interest on Indian promissory notes was subject to a double income tax ? Mr. BARING sai t that no instructions had been given in reference to the amount of compensation. As regarded the income-tax, he thought it not advisable to give any answer to the question at present. TAX BILLS Lord PALMERSTON moved that a select committee be appointed to search the journals of both Houses of Parlia ment, in order to ascertain and report on the practice of each house with regard to the several descriptions of bills imposing or repealing taxes. That ' the committee do consist of Lord Palmerston, Mr. Disraeli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Walpole, Lord J. Russell, Mr. S. Estcourt, Sir G. Grey, Sir J. Pakington, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Henley, Mr. E. P. Bouverie, Colonel Wilson Patten, Mr. Massey, Mr. Ben tinck, Mr. John Bright, the Attorney-General, Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. More O'Ferrall, and Sir William Heathcote. He considered it would be desirable for hon. members at present to abstain from entering into any discussion on the subject. In his opinion the better course would be for hon. gentlemen to defer their observatiens (whatever their opinions might be) until after the committee had made their report. The appointment of the committee pledged the house to nothing except that hon. members wished for in formation which they did not at present possess. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that be thought no one could object to the course which the noble lord the First Lord of the Treasury proposed, and the assent of hon. members was not required by the adoption of the present motion Mr. E. JAMES said he regretted that he could not agree with the right hon. baronet. He thought that dis cussion before the present time would have been premature, but now that tho house was in posses sion of the decision of the House of Lords, all the precedents of the House of Commons justified hon. members in taking some active course in reference to the act of the Upper House. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) Ho had no desire to urge on her Majesty's Government a course that would be premature ; but he thought the House of Commons had a right to know what steps her Majesty's Government proposed to take in reference to the vote of the other house. Having referred to the course adopted by the House of Common in 1742, when the House of Lords rejected a bill for an inquiry into the conduct of Sir Robert 'Walpole, the hon. anu learned gen tleman said he could not 11.4 thinking there was no neces sity for moving for a committee to ascertain precedents, and, without meaning any disrespect to the Government, the course they had adopted was merely a pretext for delay and temporising. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He thought some immediate action was necessary for the asser tion of the privileges of the House of Commons, and for the vindication of the dignity of the Government. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE followed on the same side, and read a resolution agreed to at a recent meeting of delegates from different bodies interested in the repeal of the duty, suggesting that the house should meet in November next for tne purpose of considering the subject. He agreed to that suggestion, for the House of Lords did not reject the bill—they merely postponed the second reading, and at the time specified the finances of the country might be in such a position as to remove the objection on the ground of the fiscal position of the country. He concluded by a motion to the effect that the house at the elgse of the session should not be prorogued, but should merely postpone its sitting until November, during which the question might be more fully considered. Mr. W H ALLEY seconded the amendment, and said he had supported the financial scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the faith of the duty on paper being repealed. Ur. BRIGHT strongly denounced the course proposed by her Majesty's Government, and proposed that the debate should be adjourned until Thursday next. Lord J. RUSSELL appealed to the house to reject both amendments, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) T.1114' DAY'S SHIPPING.

The contest for this bbrough closed yesterday, the result being in favour of Lord George Lennox. At the close of the poll the numbers stood thus:— Lord G. Lennox (C) l4B Mr. Grenfell (L) RACE wrni A BULL. Some forty years ago the managers of a racecourse near Brownsville, on the Monongahela, published a notice of a race, one mile heats, on a particular day, for a purse of ICO dols , " free for anything with tourlegs and hair on. A man in the neighbourhood named hays had a bull that he was in the habit of riding to mill with his bag of coru, and he deter mined to enter him lot the race. Ile said nothing about iL to any one, but he rode him around the track a number of times once reral moonlight nights until the bull had the hang of the ground pretty well, and would keep the right course. He rode with spurs, which the bull considered disagreeable ; so much so that he always bellowed when they were applied t o his sides. On the morning of the race Hays came upon the ground on horsebaek—on his bull. * instead of a saddle, ho had dried an ox-hide, the head part, of which, with the horns still on, he had placed on the bull's rump. He carried a short tin horn in his hand. He rude to the judge's stand, and offered to enter his"'" bull for the race ; but the owners of the horses that were entered objected. Hays appealed to the terms of the no tice; insisting that his bull had " four legs, and hair on," and that therefore he had a right to enter him. After a good deal of swearing, the judges declared themselves to be compelled to decide that the bull had the right to run, and was entered accordingly. When the time for starting arrived, thebull and the horses tqok their places. The horse racers were cut of humour at being bothered with the bull, and at the burlesque, which they supposed was intended, but thought that it would be overas soonas thehorses -tart ed. When the signal was given they did start.' Hays gave a blast with his bore, and sunk his spurs into the side ,of the bull, who bounded on with a terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox-hide flap ping up and down and rattling at every jump, making a combination of noises that had never been heard on a race course before. The horses all flew the track, every - one seeming to be seized with a sudden determination to take the shortest cut to get out of the Redstone country, and not one of them could be brought back in time to save their distance. The purse was given to Hays. A general row ensued ; but the fun of the thing put the crowd all on the side of the bull. The horse men contended that they were swindled out of their purse, and that if it had not been for Hays' horn and ox-hide, which he ought not to have been permitted to bringjupon the ground, the thing would not have been turned out as it did. Upon this, Hays told them that this bull could beat any of their horses anyhow, and if they would put up a hundred dollars against the purse, he would take off the ox-hide and leave his tin i o'ff e er ho rse s horn, and run a fair race with them accepted, and the money staked. They again took their places at the starting p ost, and the signal was given. Hays gave the bull an other touch with his spur, and the bull gave a tremendous bellow. The remembered the dreadful sound, thought all the test was coming as before. Away they went again, in spite of alt the exertions of their riders, while Hays gallopped bis bull around the track and won the mon ey.—The Weekly Leader Toronto). COURSE OF EXCHANGE.—Tias DAY.
