The second part of " Studies in Animal Life" is as full of curious information as the first. The wonders of nature displayed in the almost invisible animalculee of a duck pond are enough to teach the proudest philosopher humility. " Cui ions if True "is the title .of a very amusing paper. The writer, Richard Whittingham, an English traveller in France, is belated in a forest. Seeing a lighted chateau he approches and asks admittance. To his surprise he finds his name obtains him a ready wel come. He is ushered into an antique drawing room where a large reception is being held, but many singularities of manners and costume strike his eye. The secret is cleverly kept, and it is some time before the reader discovers that the party assembled consists of our old friends the heroes and heroines of Fairyland—Cinderella, Puss in Boots, Toni Thumb, Beauty and the Beast, and a host of others, all older, wiser, and we must add less indi vidually attractive than when we first made their acquaintance. Tne scene closes by the appearance of "Madame la Fee Marraine," and the charm is broken. " Life among the Lighthouses," gives some curious and interesting details respecting the first establishment of these valuable institutions. They were originally monopolised by the holders of official sinecures, and when the private proprietors were bought out the compensation offered them proves what gains they must have made from the dues they levied on passing vessels. We read of £350,000 being offered for one ; to which proposition the owner indignantly re joined that "If he must sell, it must be for £550,000, and that would not pay him." A jury being appealed to, £445,000 was fixed on. This, of course, was an extreme case, but it shows the abuse of the privilege. But, as the writer observes, " bad lighting, private proprietorship, public debt, and to a great extent, even surplus light dues, have gone for ever, and lighthouses have got back to what Queen Elizabeth meant them to be— public trusts, in public hands, for public uses." Some harrowing details of the sufferings of lighthouse keepers in earlier days, when storms cut them off from the mainland, are given, and many interesting particulars of the various modes of building and lighting at present adopted. Among other anec dotes we are told that when Rudyerd's structure of the Eddystone was building, Louis XIV. was at War with us. A French privateer seized the men at work on the rock, and took them to a French prison. The Grand Monarque, however, with more magnanimity than he commonly displayed, ordered their immediate release, saying that though he was at war with England, he was not at war with mankind. We congratulate the editor on the ability of his second number, whose success was rendered the more difficult from the expectations excited by the first. Macmillan's Magazine. The fourth number of this serial fully maintains the reputation it has acquired for the pleasant variety of its stores. The eminent historian who has so recently departed from amongst us is the subject of two papers, The first, a tribute from the pen of the ROT. F. D. Maurice ; the second, a very interesting article entitled, " Macaulay as a boy," containing two letters from Hannah More to his father. The reader will trace with interest in these records of his early career, the evidenees of those literary tastes and brilliant talents which have since made his name so famous. The his torian's mother, it appears, had been a favourite pupil of Hannah More, when she and her sister kept a ladies' school at Bristol. She preserved an intimate friendship with both his parents, and always took a deep interest in the young scholar. It is curious to read these letters by the light of his after fame, and to reflect that the boy whose educa tion at Westminster school was matter of anxious discussion, has so recently been consigned to his last home in its Abbey. Even at the early age re ferred to, the peculiar powers of memory and the extensive study which afterwards so wonderfully enriched his style, appear to have manifested themselves. Thus Hannah More alludes to a de bate on the rival merits of Eugene and Marl borough, and says :—" The quantity of reading that Tom has poured in, and the quantity of ',Mini" he has poured out, is astonishing. It is in vain I have tried to make him subscribe to Sir Harry Savile's notion, that the poets are the best writers next to those who write prose. We have poetry for breakfast, dinner, and supper. Re re •ited all ' Palestine,' while we breakfasted, to Mr. Whalley, and did it incomparably." "Tom Browa at Oxford" keeps on his way with spirit. The most remarkable incident in this instalment is the account ef a " gown and town row." The author thinks it necessary to preface it by the expression of his disapproval, and the announcement that , his school of " Muscular Christianity" does not include such use of bodily strength. " Modern Pensee Writers" is the title of a curious paper, which gives us some glimpses into the trea suries of thought collected by the Hares, Novalis, and Joabert. The popular authoress of " John Halifax" contributes one of her attractive papers, bearing the fascinating title of " The Age of Gold." It does not refer to our modern money-making or any such tangible wealth. The age of gold alluded to, is the fairy world of imagination and fancy which developes itself in a love of Mother Hub bard, and shows a vivid appreciation of Robinson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights. The paper in question has much pleasant writing, and suggests some important truths to those who have the charge of the unfolding intellect. An account of "Harper 's Ferry and old Captain Brown" will deeply inte rest the reader. A clear and succinct summary of John Brown's antecedents is given, a sketch of his plan of action shown to us, and the excellencies of his character prominently displayed in his letters. After giving the particulars of his death the writer observes, " Thus ended the first American execu tion for treason, for, strangely enough, it is said that this God-fearing Bible believing descendant of the Pilgrim Fathers, was the first citizen of the United States who has died a traitor's death." It may add point to the fact if we remember that both the grandfathers of this first "traitor" were officers in the revolutionary army, and that he himself was sixth in direst descent from one of the pilgrims who landed from the Mayflower. The writer re marks " that such a man should thus die is a fact -which has set men thinking. Here is a man, honest, guileless, brave, Christian, both fearing God, and fearless of man to an extent which men read of in the deeds of the heroes and saints of old, but which they feel in their own hearts it is rare enough to see—and yet this brave man is hanged. Why ? Because ho is an enthusiast; because while he lives :moiety in Virginia is not safe. What then is this social system, the peace whereof needs the hang ing of such a man? A dangerous question this last." He concludes his able article by observing that Brown has gained two pointsby his rash but heroic effort. He has shown that there are still among the farmers and backwoodsmen, men worthy of their Puritan fathers ; and he has exposed the -weakness of the slave system, since twenty-two abolitionists and coloured men were enough to throw the whole of Virginia into a panic. The Art Journal. This elegant and artistic journal continues in its usual style. We have three large plates, two of them taken from pictures in the Royal Collection, the other an engraving of Foley's statue of Caractacus. The prose portion, however, especially the illustrated articles, is more attractive. Some of 'the vignettes are really charming, and the reader of artistic taste may beguile many a pleasant hour over its pages. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall's " Guide to New South Wales" is excellent both in style and illustration, while the new series of papers tracing the progress of the Hudson from the wilderness to the sea adds to the manifold attractions of this journal. David Cox is the British artist whose works and style are discussed in this part, and woodcuts of some of his chief works are given. Mr. Thornbury contributes another of his papers on the painters, showing us -Nollekeens, in Mortimer-street, and the number • altogether offers a variety of entertainment to the lovers of art. The Constitutional Press. The story of " Hopes and Fears" is progressing in a most satisfactory manner, and the character of Lucilla is very well drawn, her general style is natural, with her variations of manners, and her adroit arrangements always to appear the injured p_arty in any fracas. Her conduct a nd that of aoratia are exactly the counterpart of those wise ladies who think that they are vindicating the rights of their sex, when they are only disgracing it by their forward demeanour, and who in their zeal to appear independent, prove that they are unfit to be trusted. Phoebe is more interesting as we become more fully acquainted with her, and she bids fair to add another to the list of this authoress' chef d'ouvres in the way of feminine characters. The best article in this number is that on Lord Ma caulay, and althuugh this periodical is diametrically Opposed to him in politics, no more favourable tribute could be paid to his memory by his friends. The highest praise is lavished on Macaulay's essays. It is said that "his undying essay on Milton was the sublimest thing that had ever been written on a blind man. It was his introduction; with all its extravagance, it was not untrue; with all its elabora tion, it was not obscure ; it was the first of those Pure Saxon papers that have contributed an inalien able power to the English language." After pass ing some just strictures on the partial style of his history, which production, marvellous as a composi- ' ticn, contains errors of judgment that militate against its author being classed as a luminous in• terpreter of the past, the paper concludes with this passage, " We do but borrow from Macaulay, when our own witness speaks what all the world proclaims—lie was a man ofparts, history will say tie died too early, posterity . will say too soon. Whilst England, hushed in spirit, stood around his bier, there was in the breath of the requiem, and in the voice of the world, We grudge thee to the grave, Macaulay.'" " War , " a Tale , by the aut hor of " Paul Ferroll," is a striking narrative of some of the private calamities of war, which is very effectively slcscribed, and the general style of it has something of the original, especially as it is supposed to have occurred so very recently. In the paper on the " English Church in Paris," there are some very just censures passed on the conduct of the au thorities in that capital for their late interference with Mr. Gurney, in the exercise of his ministry. There is an amusing piece entitled " The Three Brains of the Cabinet," which presents some smart sketches of Palmerston, Russell, and Gladstone, who are styled the wondrous trio of the Coalition Cabinet. ~""`~~ task, sk- . MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES: The National keeps up its improved tone, and offers a variety of pleasant reading to the general public. The editor contributes another of his smart political sketches, taking Mr. Cobden for his sitter. Mr. Copping continues his novel of " Sun down," and there are several other agreeable papers and poems.—The Eclectic is a magazine of a more serious turn, adapted to the taste of the religious and reflective reader. It is Nonconformist in its principles, and addicted to the discussion of theolo gical and controversial subjects. There are, how ever, several papers of general interest, prominent among them being articles by W. Thornbury and Frederika Bremer.— 7he Church of England Monthly Review is another magazine of a profes sedly religious character. It supplies a deficiency long felt, and being entirely free from bigotry or prejudice, it addresses itself to a large circle of readers, while the ability and variety of its con tents cannot fail to attract the reader of cultivated taste.—Prominent among the monthly parts of weekly periodicals we find Once a Week, which for entertaing reading on an extended class of subjects —light, without being superficial, and offering in formation without dulness—can fairly match any other serial of the same class—The Welcome Guest, 7he Parlour Journal, and Pastime are cheap miscellanies without any distinctive features. Scientific works have now taken up a recognised position among the monthly publications. New ten's London Journal has long recorded the pro gress of invention, and the patents that have been taken out for improvements in manufacture. It now prefixes to its contents a short treatise on the topics of the day connected with its subjects, and the present number discusses the Emperor's Com mercial manifesto. The Mechanics' Magazine con tinues to preserve its high character. It is un doubtedly the first journal of its class, and the great amount of practical scientific information it contains will be no less interesting to the amateur or student, than valuable to the mechanician or engineer. We are glad to see the improved and enlarged series is conducted with so much spirit. The new edition of Tire's Dictionary of Arts, Ma nufactures, and Mines, is not likely to pass un noticed by the scientific world. It is under the able editorship of Mr. Robert Hunt, whose name is a sufficient warrant for its careful and authentic compilation. It is chiefly rewritten and greatly enlarged, and illustrated with nearly two thousand woodcuts. The fourth part contains, among other valuable information, articles on caoutchouc and coal. There is also some account of chlorometry, the process by which the strength or value of substances containing chlorine is tested. We are very glad to see a work of such a standard character as the late Dr. Ure's Dictionary reproduced in its present enlarged and completed form.—Charles Knight's publications maintain their usual degree of excellence. The Popular .History of England comes down to the termination of the American war by the Peace of 1783. The sixth volume is brought to a close at this grand political division, and the seventh vo lume will bring us to a yet more exciting and event ful period.—The English Cyclepeedia continues in its accustomed manner. Its character is now so well known as scarcely to need criticism. A few pages are deficient in this part which will be supplied next month. When the four divisions are com pleted the Englisn Cyclopsedia will scarcely yield precedence to any work of reference in our libraries, for extent, variety, and moderation.—Rorstledge'e Shakespeare having reached the forty-eighth part brings us to his poems and sonnets. We may therefore infer that the work is approaching its conclusion, when we shall notice it -at greater length.—Routdedge's illustrated Natural history has reached the eleventh part, both prose and pic tures being of a high order. The people's edition of Moore's National Airs offers a boon to all lovers of good music, since ten songs of lyrical and musi cal excellence can be obtained for a shilling, the compass and arrangement being within the reach of moderately gifted amateurs.—One of Them, by Charles Lever, is written in that sparkling author's accustomed manner and will probably afford his admirers much plea sant reading hereafter.—Plain or Ringlets is an other of the humourous sporting stories by the au thor of " Handley Cross.. " Leech's pencil as usual does good service, and adds considerably to its at tractions.— The Universal Decorator is likely to im prove the public taste by its suggestions for artistic embellishments of honsehold goods. Some of the numerous illustrations are full of grace and har mony. The editor, Mr. Wilson Ross, contributes a pleasant memoir of Quintin Matsys, the black smith painter. A 'variety of excellent prose mat ter is contained in it, as well as the decorative sug gestions.—The Literary and Educational Year Book for 1860 has :an endless variety of literary and scholastic information: It gives us a list of all books, journals, periodicals, and engravings, pub lished during the past year; of all metropolitan and provincial newspapers ; providing us also with an account of all learned, literary and artistic societies; of all mechanics' and educational institutes for the improvement of the people ; giving us the names of the projectors and managers of these schemes, the localities where they flourish, and the nature of their efforts. The heads of the Universities are cited, and an account of the questions proposed for the Oxford Middle-class and Society of Arts Insti tutes' examinations are given in full. "BROWN BESS" AND THE CHINA EXPEDITION. To secure uniformity of ammuniti on , it i s or d ere d that the native force shall be armed with the smooth bore musket, such as is used by the I n di an regi ments now serving i n Ch ina; and corps now armed with rifles are to have them exchanged before em barkation for the old Brown Bess— a merciful wea pon, which is warranted never to hit anything it is aimed at. The Chinese, on the contrary, have for a long time been providing themselves with arms of precision ; they were w ell supplied with them at the Pei-ho, and are said to have largely in creased their stock since that affair. The contents of the Governor-General's order will tie known to the Mandarins long before the arrival of the Expedition, they will not fail to profit by the advantage it offers them. How the cunning rogues will chuckle at th e simplicity of the barbarians, who are wilfully dis arming themselves in order that the Chinese may be able to pick them off with impunity! These is a passage in the fourth paragraph of Major Honner's despatch, describing his successful operations against the Waghurs, which furnishes a practical comment on this extraordinary regulation. The major states that the matchlock men " quietlystood looking at us, but beyond our fire (common mus• kets)," and that Lieutenant Hallett was struck by a matchlock ball at a distance of 600 yards. For tunately it lodged in the brass of his telescope. It is hard to imagine why the order in question should have been given at all, and still harder to believe that it should have been given for the reason alleged, namely, to secure uniformity of ammuni tion.—llonzeward AUSTRALIAN GOLD.—The total amount of th• gold shipments announced by the present Australian mail is only £352,000, per the ships Roxburgh Castle, Cleadon, Saldanha, Essex, and Indemnity, the pressure in the money market checking remittances. The aggregate at sea forth coming is thus raised to £558,000, of which about £206,000 is due or nearly due. The particulars are given below : Gold. on board. .. —.- Name. Soiled. O u t. ~. Ouncos.

The advices from the various manufacturing dis tricts report less activity in most departments of trade, the advance in the value of money, together with the uncertainty respecting the forthcoming budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, having caused diminished operations during the past week. At Leeds broad cloths have been in fair request, but light fancy articles have been in less demand ; the manufaeturers, however, are fully employed on contract orders. Worsted yarns at Bradford have been inactive, and prices have slightly receded. Piece goods, particularly light arti cles, have been in good request ; and the operations for exportation have been rather restricted for the time of year. Business at Manchester has been ex ceedingly quiet, and prices of most descriptions of cotton goods have tended downwards. Indian fabrics, however, are an exception, as the &dykes from the East are considered satisfactory. At Bir mingham a steady business has been recorded in most branches of trade connected with the town and neighbourhood, and most of the manufacturers are working full time. Business at Sheffield, Wal sall, and Wolverhampton has been steady although not active; and in South Yorkshire the coal trade has shown symptoms of increasing activity. The engagements of the 4th of the month having been provided for and liquidated in a satisfactory manner, the Money Market, which has lately ex hibited so much activity, now presents a quieter appearance. Additional relief has also been afforded by the stoppage of the drain of gold—the primary cause of the recent disturbance—and it is satisfactory to notice the arrival of Australian and American remittances. Full rates, however, are still enforced, 4 per cent. being strictly adhered to by bankers and others, as the minimum charge for the best descriptions of mercantile paper. _ The Avon from the Brazils has been announced this morning with £5,730, the Jura from New York with £10,510, and the Donald M'Kay has also ar rived from Australia with £150,000 in specie. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a very active appearance, and 15,000 bales were disposed of at full rates. In the Railway Share 111 arket a fairamount of business was recorded, and prices exhibited increased firmness. The English Stock market remains in a very quiet state. Speculation has been checked by the un certainty created by the impending Budget, but, on the whole, values have been steadily maintained. Consols have been 94: f for money, and 941 for account ; they are now 941 and 94: I respectively, being a shade flatter in con sequence of lower prices from Paris. The New Threes are 941 ; the Reduced 94: 95; Exchequer Bills, 225. to 255. prem. ; India Loan, 1031 ; ditto 5 per Cent., Enfaced Paper, 98/ ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto, at 1041 ; ditto Debentures, 971 ; and ditto Bonds, ls. dis. to 4s. prem.

The Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 2} prem.; the Universal, I prem.; the San Paulo Railway, ± to I dis. ; the Bank of Turkey, par to prem. ; and the Canada Loan, 21 I prem. The Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and in a few instances a slight advance has been established. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee and Great Western improved 55., and North- Eastern (Berwick) and North-Eastern (York), 10s. North-Western declined 55., the South-Eastern 55., and Bristol and Exeter, Brighton and South Western, 10s. The Foreign lines have shown less firmness Lombardo-Venetian having declined to 111 111, and Paris and Lyons to 35Z. _ _ In the Colonial market there has been very little variation of importance. Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of Canada have realised former rates, while East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula were a shade flatter, Joint-Stock Bank ani Miscellaneous shares have also been at slightly reduced quotations. London Joint-Stock, London and Westminster, and Royal Mail Steam being at rather lower rates. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 96 i 41 1 3 per Cent.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENG LAND AND AUSTRALIA. -It will be seen by the resolutions which Mr. Forster is to move in the Assembly, that New South Wales is in the first instance asked to pay £9,625 per annum towards the proposed submarine telegraph from Moreton Bay to East Java. This subsidy is to be reduced to £7,700 by the contributions of the minor colonies. Vic toria is to contribute £25,371 —also to be reduced to £20,300 in the same manner. The whole subsidy asked for is, there fore, £35,000; and in distributing the contributions of the several colonies, the proportions in which they contribute towards the postal subsidy have been preserved. Thus New x fi e r d st at in 2 s 7 e per c South Wales will contribute 22 per cent., and Victoria 53 t i le r contributions i o b f u t t l i a o e n w s h o o f l e t h a e t s n e o u two nt, coloniesthoug h in are the h fi e cent., and 721 per cent. respectively, so th at the Com p an y should deal with them alone, leaving New So uth Wales and Victoria to deal with the minor colonies. 27 i bears the same proportion to 721 as 22 does to 53. Western Aus tralia cannot be asked to contribute. Her share, how ever, is less than 1 per cent. towards the postal sub sidy. The share of New Zealand towards the same is .5 11-16. It would appear equitable that the new colony of Queensland should take upon herself the whole share of Western Australia, and half the share of New Zealand, which will only be brought within six days of London by the telegraph terminating at Moreton Bay. The term of 50 years, during which the subsidy is to continue, is taken from the duration of the guarantee granted to the Red Sea and Indian line by the Imperial Government. We are also authorised to state that the figure of £35,000 has been cal culated with a view of leaving about 2 per cent. as a divi- dend upon the estimated outlay (£720,000), after paying the working expenses of the line, which, after careful investi gation have been fixed at £20,000 a year. It will be ob served with satisfaction that the payment of the subsidy is made conditional upon the efficient working of Ills ljpe ceasing if it ceases to work.—Sydney litarg44s kola, 117 119 122 127 V I A , 139 141 104 103 95 97 P 10 104 !!I i 124 par i p 111 113 109 111 91 93 974 1184 d 1 i 1 1 23 24 124 126 125 130 117 1241 176 78 122 124 125 130 11 11i 24 24 102 104 102 104 92 94 101 183 85 88 29 30 34 35 33 34 50 55 COUNTY COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of the house to the subject of county courts. and wished their limits to be increased. The noble lord compared the powers at present possessed by these courts, and cited the number of cases. He also threw out a suggestion for the consideration of their lordships as to whether it would not be advisable to ex tend the equitable as well as the legal jurisdiction to sums exceeding £6O. The noble and learned lord concluded by moving fin some returns to show the number of plaints en terod for sums between £4O and £5O for the years 1868-9. The returns were ordered. RIFLE CORPS. In reply to Lord Vlviwif, Earl de GREY and RIPON said the Government highly appreciated the patriotic motives that had actuated those who had come forward for volunteer service. The corps had been constituted in such a manner as to give hopes that they would form a valuable addition to the defences of the country. It was, however, undesirable that the volun teer corps should be allowed to become a charge upon the revenue. The present Government had gone further than the late Government intended to go in assisting those corps. All the corps had been supplied with a full complement of n a g nd I t wa w s an not in t t h e o n u d g e h d t d o esir n a s b si le st to th fu e rn N i . s o h lun th t e e m ers 7it i h n order criitehis that they might obtain the services of paid adjutants. The number at present embodied amounted to between 60,000 and 70,000 men. With respect to the volunteer artillery, the Government intended further assist ance, but they did not intend to pay the men for their drill. The drilling for both corps was attractive, but to pay the volunteers would be to oppose the principle on which the corps was raised. Lord WENSLEYDALE asked whether it was intended by the Government to pay the drill sergeants ? Earl DE GREY said the Government intended to allow the t ime of non-commissioned officers engaged in drilling volunteer corps to count as time for pension, but expenses attending the engagement of those persons must, as at pre sent, still be borne by the respective volunteer regiments. THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY. Lord NOItMANBY stated the precise terms of the mo tion which stood in his name for to-morroy evening with respect to the alleged project for the annexation of the duchies of Nice and Savoy to the dominions of the Emperor of the French. COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. This bill, after a few observations from the LORD CHAN CILLOR and Lord CRANWORTU, was read a second time. THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE asked whether the ac• count given in the Independence Beige of the Government treaty was correct. Earl OR A.NVILLE said had the noble lord given him due notice he, no doubt, would have been in a position to have given him a satisfactory answer. With respect to the statement in the Independancsßelge, he could give him no information, as he did not take that paper in, nor had h• seen the statement alluded to. The delay in laying the terms of that treaty before the public was occasioned by the postponement of the financial statement of his hon friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Earl DERBY said he could not acquiesce in the state ment relstive to the postponement of making the terms of this treaty known to the public. The making of the terms known would, no doubt, take the gloss off the honour able gentleman's statement ; but the treaty possessed both a political as well as a commercial importance. ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST. Earl of DERBY said to-morrow he should ask the Go vernment whether they have taken any steps to put an end to the disgraceful proceedings that have now been going on for some time in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East. It was of the highest importance that these disgraceful scenes should be speedily put an end to. Lord BROUGHAM entirely agreed with the noble earl that such proceedings should be immediately checked.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the house was piobably aware of the illness of his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which rendered him unable to bripg for ward his financial statement this evening, according to the arrangement that had been previously made and commu nicated to hon. members. However, he was happy to state that there was every reason to believe that his right hon. friend would be able to bring forward his statement on Friday next. Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the noble lord (Pal merston) whether it was the intention of Govern ment to lay before the house the commercial treaty with France, to which the attention of the country at present was so earnestly directed. Lord PALMERSTON said that the treaty would not b• laid before the house until the Chancellor of the Exche quer made his financial statement on Friday evening. (Cries of Oh, oh," from the Opposition benches.) PACKET AND TELEGRAPHIC CONTRACTS. Capt. L. VERNON said that in consequence of the ill ness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would post pone his motion which stood on the paper for to-morrow in reference to this subject. ANNEXATION OF NICE AND SAVOY. Mr. KINGLAKE gave notice of a motion for the production of the correspondence which had taken place between our Government and France with regard to the alleged intentien of the latter power to annex Nice and Savoy. LIGHT DUES. Mr. RIDLEY moved for returns of receipts from light dues from the year 1853 to 1858, both inclusive; of reductions made in dues during the above years, showing the per centage of reduction on foreign-going and coasting vessels respectively; the estimated amouat of each of such reductions on the total receipts, and the effect of such reductions on the payments made by the above mentioned class of vessels respectively; of expendi ture on lighthouses in the United Kingdom for the above years, distinguishing the ordinary expenditure for the maintenance of lighthouses and the extraordinary expenditure for the building of new lighthouses, and of the balance now standing to the account of the mercantile fund.—Ordered. MANNING THE NAVY. Mr, lIORSFALL asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it was the intention of the Government to carry out the recommendation of the Manning Commission, u to placing 12 school ships at the principal commercial porta; and, if so, the probable time that wouid elapse before the scheme might be in operation • Lord C. PAGET said that at present it was not proposed to carry out the scheme alluded to, on the ground of the expense with which it would be attended. WAKEFIELD AND GLOUCESTER ELECTIONS. Mr. HUNT moved for an address for return of the names of the persons to whom ce.tificates of indemnity have been granted by the Wakefield and Gloucester Bribery Commis sioners respectively.—Ordered. THE DISTURBANCES IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN• In reply to Mr. BYNG, THE-EAST. Sir C. LEWIS said that he objected to the phraseology used by the hon. member in speaking of the, disturbances which had taken place in St. George's-in-the-East last evening, which he designated an outrage. The measures which he had instructed Sir Richard Mayne tn take had been found efficient in preventing any serious outbreak taking place. He regretted that the incumbent should have persevered in a mode of religious ceremony which was so displeasing to his parishioners. (Hear, hear.) CORONERS' FEES. Mr. COBBETT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to introduce any measure during the present session to alter the law as regards the payment of coroners' fees and expenses. Sir G. C. LE WIS said there was considerable inconve nience experienced by coroners, in consequence of the present state of the law on the subject, and it was hie intention to bring in a bill to allow coroners to appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench in reference to the payment of their fees and expenses. The Customs Acts Bill went through committee. The Probate and Administration (India) Bill went through committee. The Prisons (Scotland) Acts Continuance Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. The Newspapers Bill was read a third time and passed.

This was an action brought for the recovery of a lam of £lOO, the price paid by the plaintiff to the defendant for a horse. The auimal was purchased at Hornchurch:Fair by Freeman for the sum of £lOO, the defendant warranting it to be perfectly sound. However, after it had bean in the hands of the purchaser about a fortnight it died, and on • post mortsin examination it was discovered that for some time it had been labouring under a chronic disease. The defendant alleged the horse was sound whoa he was sold, and that death had been occasioned by the plaintiff putting the horse in a cold box, after subjecting him to a severe gallop, which brought on cold which ended in the loss of the horse. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with £lOO damages. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Court was occupied the whole day in hearing the arguments of Sir Fitzroy Kelly relative to the infringement of a patent granted for a certain metal, used for making capsules and other purposes. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN BALDWIN.-FAMILT CURDITORS.-IMPORTINT JUDGMENT. The bankrupt was described as a tailor, of Cernhill. This morning his Honour gave judgment upon a proof of £2,000 tendered by the son and daughter of the bank rupt. The case had been adjourned on a previous occasion. It appeared that the debts were about L 5,000, and of this sum £3,000 was due to trade creditors, the remaining £2,000 was now sought to be entered as a proof. Ths bankrupt made a composition with the trade creditors to pay 13s. is the pound. The present claimants bound thou selves under a covenant not to receive anything until that amount had been paid. Some informality occurred, and the original intention 4 not being carried out the parties came to this court, and the present proof was tendered by the claimants. By this mean tire. Mho of the assets would be swallowed up by the relations:of the bankrupt. It was a hard case on the creditors, who were often taken by surprise in these transactions, but he (the Commissioner) had no alternative than to admit the proof—it appeared, however, to be a hard cue without remedy, and he wculd not allow costs en either side. IN EE CISTIN. This bankrupt was described as of Wantage, Berke, cattle dealer. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Harty Brother., showed—Debtor .to creditors , £225 18s. 115.

The solicitor to the assignees said he wished to examine the bankrupt, not with the view of asking for ea adjourn ment, but for information ; but the bankrupt had not ar rived, and the case was allowed to stand over for a short time. This was the only case up to one o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THLS DA yj MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
