MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. A very active demand for money is now expe rienced both in the general market and at the Bank of England, which is chiefly attributable to the requirements of the country bankers, who, as usual at this season, augment their supplies of coin to meet the harvest expenditure. The inquiry has also been stimulated by the bills falling due to-day, the 4th inst., which are understood to be rather considerable. The rates charged for accommodation, however, though firmer, remain without important alteration ; 2 per cent. is still the lowest quotation for the best descriptions of commercial paper. Should the market continue active, however, after the payments now in pro gress, the probability of an advance in the value of money to 3 per cent, may soon form a subject of discussion in speculative circles. About £18;000 in Australian gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The rate of discount at Frankfort has been re duced to 1-1,- 1 per cent. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday only a very moderate business was transacted, and prices tended downwards. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and values were depressed. The general meeting of the shareholders of the London and County Banking Company was held to-day. The report merely stated that there was a surplus of £6,291 14s. lOd. to be carried forward after the payment of a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year, and that the Western Bank of Lon don had been transferred on the 2d of May last. The gross profits, with former balance for the six Months were £101,321 4s. 7d., which was reduced by the various deductions to the surplus above stated of £6,291 14s. 10d. There was some dis cussion about the realisation of the Sadleir estates, 'which the chairman, Mr. Nicol, said he hoped .15 :ould take pla ce i n th e ear ly part of next year. T he report was adopted unanimously. The market for English Securities to-day has has occurred. Consols have been 941 95 for money and account. The speculators are operating to a v ery limited extent, and during the next few days t he settlement will exercise some influence upon the market. Very few investments are recorded. Bank Stock has receded to 222 ; the New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 951 ; India Stock is firm at 2191 to 221 • and Exchequer Bills are a 2 flat at 275, prem. A moderate business has been transacted in the Foreign 6 Stock Market, and prices remain firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80 to 82 ; ditto New Loan, '. 7 0 to 72 ; and the 4 per Cents. are 1021 ; Peru -41 per Cents. have advanced to 931; Russian I per Cents, to 981 and 991 ; Venezuelan New 21 Por Cents, to 281 and 29, and the 1 per Cents. to 16 1 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. are steady at 651; and iditenos Ayres 6 per Cents. at 71. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to 'this day, are in round numbers as under 1859. 1858.

ROBINS AND ANOTHER. This is an appeal from a decision of Sir C. Cresswell, Judge-Ordinary of the Court of Probate refusing probate on the will of the late Mrs. Dolphin, executed in France. Their lordships were of opinion (in which Lord Brougham, Lord Chelmford , and Lord Wensleydale had expressed their entire concurrence) Ist., That the Scotch divorce did not dissolve the English marriage ; 2d, that Mrs. Dolphin's domicile was the English domicile of her husband ; and 3d, that Mrs. Dolphin had not acquired a French domicile, and that being a married woman she could not make a will in France according to tho law of England. Their lordships affirmed the decision of Sir Cresswell Cresswell, and dismissed the appeal, without costs. VICE-CI{ANCELLORS' COURT. (Before the Lords Justices.) JUDGMENT-EX PARTE PICCARD IN RE FOX AND HENDERSON. Mr. Commissioner Balguy, of Birmingham, disallowed the petitioner's proof of debt for the Napoleon Company of Paris, and granted the bankrupt a first-class certificate. Mr. Samuel Charles Stokes, of Paris, subsequently ob tained an assignation to the company's debt, and presented a petition of appeal to the Lords Justices. At the hearing it was arranged that Mr. Stokes should rank on the bank rupt estate for £41,445. The petitioner Piccard repudiated this agreement, and claimed to rank for the full amount of the debt due to the company. Their lordships dismissed the petition with costs. JUDGMENT-STRANGE V. HAWKE& Three petitions were presented to alter two orders made by the late Vice-Chancellor, Sir James Parker, in the ad ministration suit under the will of the late Mr. Blackburn, by which he devised all his real and personal estate to trus tees in trust for his wife, children, and creditors.

ROBBERY AT THE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION. — John Lloyd, hawker, was charged with stealing a silver watch in Hyde-park, the property of Mr. Joseph Sturge Gilpin, general agent, of Nottingham, but at present stay ing at 10, Bedford-square. . . Mr. Gilpin having affirmed, being a member of the So ciety of Friends, said that, between seven and half-past sewn on the previous evening, he was in Hyde-park, for the purpose of hearing the speeches at the " Werking Builders' Demonstration," standing with several others, when he felt a pull at his watch guard, and immediately missed his watch from his waistcoat pocket ; and as the prisoner was the only person who he thought could possibly have taken it, he said to him, "You've taken my watch," upon which the prisoner replied, " You are under a mistake, sir." He (prosecutor) said he was sure he was not, and that he had got it, and the prisoner then produced it, apparently from his sleeve, and ran off, he (prosecutor) pursuing him with the cry of " Stop thief," and he was secured by some of the persons present, Sergeant Green, 24 A, said the prisoner was known to Cole, the detective. Mr Beadon (addressing the prisoner) said ho was charged with stealing a silver watch. Was he guilty or not ? Prisoner said he was guilty, and Mr. Beadon at once committed him for six months' hard labour. THAMES. BIGAMY AND ADULTERY.—Mrs. Charlotte Gilmore, a well-dressed woman, about 27 years of age, and dwelling at No. 4, Ernest-street West, Beaumont-square, Stepney, applied to Mr. Selfe for a warrant to apprehend her hus band, Richard Gilmore, for bigamy. The applicant stated that her husband abandon3d her seven years ago, and went to Australia. He returned about six weeks ago, in the ship Monarch, and brought with him to England a second wife, whom he had married in A ustralia. Mr. Selfe—How do you know that? Mrs. Gilmore said the people in the ship in which her husband came home told her her husband was married in Australia. He was now living with his second wife. Inspector Kenessey, of the K division, said the woman and her husband came to the station-house last night and she gave him in charge for bigamy. He made every possi ble inquiry and could not obtain any evidence whatever of the second marriage. There was nothing but hearsay evi dence, and consequently he could not enter the charge or detain the man. The husband said he left his wife for her infidelity, and that he caught her inflagranto delicto com mitting adultery with another man. Mrs. Gilmore—lt is false, he did not. Inspector Kenessey—You aro now cohabiting with an other man, and have been doing so for some time. Mr. Selfe—ls that so, woman ? Mrs. Gilmore—Yes, sir; only for the last six months I have been living with another man. What was Ito do when I was deserted so long by my husband ? Mr. Selfe—The inspector has acted perfectly right. You cannot demand a maintenance from your husband. You have no claim upon him whatever, for you have committed adultery. Inspector Kenessey—ller husband said last night he had no objection to allow his wife £2O per annum. Mr. Selfe—He may do as he likes about that. Mrs. Gilmore—Surely, my husband ought to support his two children. Mr. Selfe—Yes, he can be compelled to maintain his children. I cannot interfere in the case, but if you can obtain legal evidence of your husband's second marriage you may give him into custody if you think proper. Mrs. Gilmore said she was an ill-used woman., and left the court. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. IMPERIAL PARLIAME NT. HOUSE OF LORDS—Um EVENING).

Earl GRANVILLE wished to make an explanation with respect to what he said the other evening, and which appeared to have been misunderstood. He considered it advantageous that the . old combination laws amongst workmen had been abolished. He had no hesitation in saying that was an arbitrary act, which permitted the com bination of workmen for legitimate purposes of defending their rights ; but when workmen combined for the purpose of exercising an unjust influence over the operatives of trade ; above all, when in the slightest de gree they exercised compulsion over their fellow-work men, he considered their conduct to be unjustifiable. Every workman should be left quite free to assert, his own rights for himself. He wished it to he clearly understood in anything that fell from him in favour of the combination among workmen referred in no way to the strike expected amongst the builders, which he considered utterly unjusti fiable.

The Earl of RIPON , moved the second reading of this bill. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH did not oppose the bill, but urged upon the house the necessity of keeping the militia in a thoroughly efficient state. After a short conversation, in which the Duke of Cleve land, Lord Churston, Lord Aveland, and the Duke of Cam bridge took part, relative to transferring militiamen to re giments of the line, and the difference between the official strength of the militia and the number actually raised, be ing very short of the proper number, the bill was read a second time. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. • PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Blackburn and Preston Road and Bridge ; Cowes and Newport (Isle of Wight) Railway ; Ringwood, Christchurch, and Bournemouth Railway ; and Metropolitan Railway (Deviations, &c.) The Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Com pany Bill was considered and ordered for third reading. Sir John Ramsden's Estate Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Mr. BRADY, the following motion was agreed to :—That in the case of the Londonderry and Cole raine Railway Bill, standins orders 176 and 204 be sus pended, and that it be an mstruction to the general com mittee on railway and canal bills, and to the committee of selection, that they have power to appoint the committee on the bill to meet any day not earlier than seven clear days after the second reading. THE GAS BILL. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the in habitants of Southwark, m London, in favour of this bill. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. LANG suggested, as the most convenient course, that hon. members who had motions on the paper should postpone them until the evening. Mr. LINDSAY, who had a motion for calling the atten tion of the house to the present state of the shipping inte rest, stated that he would comply with the suggestion of the hon. gentleman. His only object at the present stage of the session was to elicit the opinion of Government on the subject. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. £6,000 was voted for class-rooms, library, and other ac commodation at Queen's College, Aberdeen. On the vote of £11,500 for an embankment of the wall at one side of 'Windsor Castle, the removal of the dilapidated portions of the edifice and the hundred steps leading to the north terrace, some discussion arose, but it was ultimately agreed to. On the vote of £482,000 for erecting the new bridge at Westminster and the approaches thereto, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that the vote provided only for the approach at one side of the river, and he did not see why such wealthy counties as Middlesex and Surrey should not be required specially to contribute towards the work by which they would be specially bene fited. He wished to know if the sum in question would be all that was likely to be required for the undertaking. Mr. FITZROY said that if any dependence could be placed on the statements of engineers, he had their tosti •mony that the sum specified would be sufficient for the completion of the bridge and approaches. With regard to Middlesex and Surrey contributing specially to the construction of the bridge, he referred hon. members to the report drawn up under the auspices of Sir William Moles worth, from which they would perceive that according to act of Parliament, 'Westminster bridge was taken out of the category of other bridges. The act stated that this bridge was to be considered a national and not a local work, and that any expenses attendant on it should be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund. Mr. AYRTON considered that Government would have acted more wisely if they did not interfere in the construc tion of works like the present, but leave them in the hands of a municipal body, as was the case in Liverpool and other large towns. After some discussion the vote was agreed to, as well as an additional sum of £40,000 solely for the approaches. NEW FOREIGN OFFICE. On the vote of £130,000 for the purchase of a portion of the site, and towards defraying the cost of the erection of the New Foreign Office, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the principal portion of the vote was required for the pre paration of the ground for the new building, which was stated to be afloat on a basis of peat. With regard to the expense of the building, the Government was for the first time in a position to state what would be the actual cost of public works. Heretofore the course adopted was to pre sent to the house a moderate estimate, and as works pro ceeded the country found itself involved in, enormous ex pense. The sum required for these offices might startle them by its large amount, but the figure might be relied on. Mr. Hunt, the surveyor, stated that"the cost for the erection of the building, according the design of Mr. Scott, would be £230,000, and a responsible builder had undertaken to construct the work for a sum of £232,000. That included everything comprised in the plan of Mr. Scott, but did not provide for those contingencies which emerged during the progress of a large building. Mr. Hunt estimated the whole cost for erecting the building at £310,000, and the amount for the site at £12,000 ; making a total of £420,000. That total did not provide for furniture and other expenses. With respect to the plans, as had been stated on a previous occasion, it was not intended to alter them before the re assembling of Parliament. Lord ELCHO reviewed the proceedings already adopted in reference to the foreign offices. He did not agree with those who considered the Gothic style was unsuited to the new offices, for he thought it was appropriate to the de partments required in such a building. 'With regard to its being incongruous he considered that rather an advantage, as nothing to his mind was more disagreeable than un• broken monotony in architecture. The noble lord referred to Paris and other cities in support of his opinion. Mr. TITE defended the committee that had inquired into the subject, and contended that the Italian style of architecture was more suited to public buildings than the Gothic. He denied that the latter style was national, or that it would be congruous with a large mass of building that would be permitted to remain undisturbed in the neighbourhood of the new offices. Sir J. SHELLEY said one of the largest items of expen diture would be for the residence of the Foreign Minister, and he strongly objected to any such residence, which he thought unnecessary. After a few remarks from Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Coningham, Sir E. Colebroke, Mr. Cross, Mr. Stir ling, and Mr. Buxton, Lord PALMERSTON said there was nothing in the present vote that committed the house to any particular style of architecture. Whatever his (Lord Palmerston's) opinion might be with regard to the respective merit of Italian and Gothic architecture, nothing would be done in the selection of the style until next session, and then another vote would be required. He totally dissented from the doctrine that had been laid down, that be cause they had already incurred some expense with reference to one plan that therefore they should adopt that plan, and he took that opportunity of condemning the course adopted by the noble lord opposite (Lord J. Manners) in reference to this. He repeated what he had said on another occasion, namely, that he considered the plan in the Gothic style suited to a monastery, but quite unfitted for a public office, both internally and externally. He denied that there was anything national in the Gothic style, which was introduced from Belgium, or some other part of the continent. Here the noble lord went through a list of pub lic buildings in this country and Ireland to show that a number of the public edifices -were not built in the Gothic style. With regard to the propriety of this style in the new building, the opinion of those who were to inhabit it was against its adoption, and to shew that the general feeling of those who sent in plans was against the suita bility to the building of the Gothic style to the building, he mentioned that 200 were in different styles, and 30 only were in the style in question. Lord J. MANNERS vindicated himself from the accu sation of the noble lord (Palmerston). With- reference to the Colonial-office, instead of having a new Colonial-office he thought the requirements of that office were adequately provided for by the accommodation afforded by Pembroke House. He referred to Manchester, where the Gothic style was preferred, as shown by the first prize being awarded for a Gothic plan for a building for civil business. He called on the house to reject the noble lord's (Palmerston) views, and not to erect him into a sort of pope in this matter. (Laughter.) Sir J. PAXTON said that having investigated the plan of Mr. Scott in detail, he thought it fully carried out the intention of the house in the first instance. The system of ventilation which Mr. Scott proposed was prepared to carry out, was as perfect as anything of the kind could be, and as regarded light, so far from there being any defi ciency, Mr. Scott had actually overdone his work in pro viding against any such defect. Mr. Scott had presented them with a beautiful design, and he trusted it would not be rejected until there had been some stronger expression of the house against its adoption. After some remarks from Mr. Liddel, Lord Elcho, Mr. Coningham, and Lord J. Manners, the vote was agreed to. STATUE OF RICHARD C(EUR DE LION. On the vote of £1,650 for a pedestal for the statue of Richard Coeur de Lion to be erected in Palace-yard, some discussion arose, but it was ultimately agreed to. A sum of £5,641 was voted to discharge the claims of Mr. Pennothorne for his professional services. THE SERPENTINE. On the vote of £17,000 for cleansing the Serpentine in Hyde-park, Mr. FITZROY said that when he acceded to office he found that a plan was proposed for purifying the Serpen tine, which not only was not suitable but was very unpo pular. He then ascertained that in order to carry out the plan adopted in St. James's-Park for removing the mud, draining off the water, and laying a concrete bottom, a sum of between £50,000 and £60,000 would be required. He next applied to Mr. Hawkesley, the eminent engineer, • who made a report Which was approved by Afr..R.lStephen son and Sir M. Peto. That report was to the effect that it would not be necessary to drain off the water, and that the mud was not of a noxious ' character. ' Mr. Hawkes ley pioposed, in order to purify the water, to place a filtering apparatus at the head of the Serpentine through which 2,000,000 gallons of water would flow daily, and in the whole 60,000,000 in a month, which would effect all that was necessary. NORTHERN DIVISION . OF LEIC E STER. Mr. STIRLING, the chairman of the committee ap pointed to try the petition against the return of Lord S. Manners hnd Mr. Hartop for the above county, announced that the committee had come to the resolution that those hon. members were duly elected. The house suspended sitting at four o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON AND Sounr-WESTERN :23414WAY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held this day, at the Waterloo station, at two o'clock. The chair was occupied by R. D. Mangles, Esq. The ,report, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said if the circumstances and position of the company had not altered within the last few days, he should haVe felt it his duty to have occupied the time of the proprietors for a much longer period than was now necessary. (Hear.) The change to which he alluded of course related to the differences which had existed between this company and the Brighton—(hear, hear)—but he was happy to say that in the course of a few days terms of peace would be signed. (Hear.) The directors had great plea sure in stating that a mutual agreement had been come to with the Brighton company; each company had given way to a certain extent without sacrificing principles, and the result, he . trusted, would be a peace more lasting, perhaps, than that of Villafranca. (Hear, hear, hear, and laughter.) The chairman then entered into explanations with respect to the increased expenditure of the company, which he said had been caused by the extended demands of trade, and therefore many were of an exceptional nature. The old bridges on the Guildford junc tion, which were of wood, had been removed, and had been replaced with new ones constructed of bricks. The con version of several of the old first and second into second and third class carriages had caused an expenditure which would not again occur until new carriages were required. The directors had thought it proper to subscribe to the West London extension line, as it was felt that the Kensington station would be of great advantage to this line. With respect to the Charing-cross railway station the directors left the question of an extension thereto en tirely to the proprietors. The directors did not think badly of their Waterloo station, and the extension if made, would only be done by incurring an enormous expense, and he also thought that there were certain difficulties in the way which would prevent its completion for a considerable time. The chairman concluded his observations by moving the adoption of the report. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Herapath, Mr. Pincher, and several other shareholders took part, The adoption of the report was agreed to. A dividend, at the rate of 4t per cent; per annum, was declared, payable on the 20th of August. BRIGHTON -RACES.--(This Day.) [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] BRIGHTON CUP.

Reed has visited Berwick-upon-Tweed, to inquire whether there was any foundation for certain reports of the existence of bribery and corruption at the late election for that borongh. Mr. Reed has reported the result of his inquiries to the council, and ex presses his conviction that at the late election cor ruption of all kinds was extensively practised. As illustrative of the state of feeling in the town, one respectable tradesman informed him that he was thoroughly ashamed of the whole business, and that the borough ought to be disfranchised ; while another gentleman said it was a matter of indifference what the political opinion, position, or personal qualifications of a candidate might be; if he " gave out the money" in a proper manner, and to a sufficient amount, he might rely upon being returned for Berwick. Mr. Reed thus concludes his report:—" In addition to the modes of corruption above described, the Conservative party, no doubt, strengthened their posAion at the last election by promising that if they were suc cessful, Lord Derby's Government would repair the barracks, and again make the town a military station. To a small town like Berwick this was a question of great importance, considerably affecting the profits of tradesmen and publicans. Neither Capt. Gordon nor Mr. Earle, it is true, made direct statements that upon their election the desirable result of military occupation' depended, but other means were taken tha.r, were equally as effective. The Berwick Warder, the Conservative organ, issued a supplement on the 16th of April, which was profusely distributed, containing the following announcement We have great pleasure in an nouncing that the prolonged struggle in which we have been engaged, to vindicate the claims of our town to be retained as a military station, have been brought to a successful issue. We have derived this satisfactory information from a private letter, which we ourselves had the opportunity of reading, ad dressed by the highest authority to a gentleman occupying an official position, who has taken a deep interest in the question, and whose connection with Berwick will, we confidently expect, be productive of much benefit to our town, should it assume that permanent character which we have every right to anticipate. We have reason to believe that the military authorities, armed by the formidable re port of the surveyor, whose approaching visit was announced by Captain Gordon some weeks ago, have determined, in concert with the Trea sury, to make arrangements for the repair of the barracks. We may, therefore, expect, before many months have elapsed, to find our barracks re opened by her Majesty's troops.' Mr. Earle, the gentleman occupying an official position, to whom this paragraph clearly refers, in an address dated April 11 (two days after), made a modest reference to his services by saying :—' I have always ven tured to assert that your local] interests would not suffer by being committed to my charge; but I should be very unwilling to found a claim to your suffrages upon any recent success which may have attended my efforts to serve you, however impor tant their object.' The meaning intended to be conveyed by these statements is very manifest, and justifies the accusation of Government influence having been used to secure the election of Messrs. Gordon and Earle. As a further illustration of the connection of these gentlemen with the government, it may be stated that, within a few days after their return, government appointments were given to several of their active supporters. I found a very general desire expressed in the borough that a com mission of inquiry should be appointed to investi gate the whole of the circumstances connected with the late election. The necessity for such an inquiry has been rendered more urgent from the evident attempt, on the part of both Whigs and Tories, to hush up' their corrupt proceedings by withdraw ing the petition against the sitting members, and quietly dividing the representation. Such a com mission would, no doubt, produce a much more ela borate and complete report than it is possible for any private individual, and a stranger to the town, like myself, could collect. I believe, however, even in this imperfect report, there will be found suffi cient evidence to justify a petition to parliament praying for such an inquiry." 1 the Grand Duke Constantine has dis embarked dated Aug. , t h h is e c r o o n yal gratula - According to a telegr a p hic des p atch from Ham burg,tions of the Grand Marshal A of fter a re r ce a i l v a i c n e g , at Copenhagen. high ness proceeded to the Russian embassy. THE AUCTIONEER AT RYDAL MOUNT.—The soun d of "going—going-gone" has within the last w ee k or two been heard at Rydal Mount among Wordsworth's books and pietures. In a dusty room in the Strand or Pic cadilly the tap of the hammer, to which WO have been sum moned by a fluttering catalogue, is a sound' harmonious enough; but in a place which has been advertised as "the haunt of pious' memories," it seems to be exactly one of those melodies which " unheard would have been sweeter still." * * * Rydal Mount, henceforward an historical spot, became Wcrdsworth's home in 1813. By that time Mr. Longman's valuer, who estimated the Lyrical Ballads at " nothing," had become aware of his mistake, and, as a compensation for Byron's satire, an appointment of £4OO a-year entitled the poet to respect in the county. The simple Westmoreland folk as little understood the pedestrian who " booed his poetry," as they said, by the lakes and among the hills, as the Allfoxden people, who regarded him as a smuggler.

The next vote was for a sup. of £l,O old gun metal to be employ e d in the coy mental statues to the late Brigadier•G ineral Niel, in the county of Ayr.; of General Havelock, at Sunderland ; and the Rok a l Engineers' MonuMerit at Char tam, was agrecid to amidst loud cheers.

Mr. CONINGHA.III asked what were the z eal intentions of the Government with regard to :the Natit .nal Gallery ? The removal of a portion of the pictures fro; Trafalgar square gave rise to suspicions of their ultimai e intentions. He wished also to know whether there was am v change is the decision to grant a site for the-Royal Acad :my at Bur. lington-house ? Lord PALMERSTON said the exact arrant , :ements for providing a site for the Royal Academy had ne t yet been settled, but he apprehended thatthe arrangement t suggested by the last Commission for Mointaining the ,Naa ional Gat. Tery in Trafalgar-squire would be adopted, Ili.? House of Commons consenting to vote the expenses nee; ssoarily at tendant'upon such an enlargement of the galler y as wou:1 be required. There was no intention, under co rm of this vote, to transfer permanently to Kensington-gon pm • tion of the pictures which were now in the National Gal lery. (Cheers.) Lord ELCHO suggested that before any site a as .ranted to the Royal Academy an inquiry should be insti tutexl into the mode in which the Academy fulfilled its fun; :tie ns, and into its general constitution. It was supposed t() be at the ' head of art in this country, and he thought it important that it should be freely open to all artists, wilt :ther oil painters, water-colour painters, sculptors, or en gravers. (Hear, hear.) He wished inquiry to be made whs ther the Academy was a school of art for the instruction c f artists, and whether its honours were freely open to all artists ha Great Britain ? (Hear, hear.) Mr. AYRTON objected to this enormous expenditure for a temporary`purpose.. (Hear) It was proposed to remove the Royal Academy to Burlington-arcade. Sure ly a year would be long enough to erect that building, and when com pleted the space now occupied by the Royal Academy in. the National Gallery would be available for these pic tures. Supposing that were not so, why should not the tem porary building be erected on the vacant ground. at Burling ton-house ? In the name of the working classes, and in the name of all who resorted to the metropolis for pleasure or instruction, he protested against the erection of these build ings at the extreme west of London. (Rear.) Be wanted to know by whose influence it was done ? (Hear.) It looked like part of an intrigue ultimately to put all the galleries on the Kensington estate. The house had most distinctly declared that that should not be, and yet they were asked to vote £9,000 for these buildings. He wanted to know for whose gratification the whble of the inhabitants; of London and the visitors to London were to suffer this inconvenience? Ministers disowned it. The House of Commons disowned it, and why it was proposed, and to please - whom he had never been able to discover. (Hear.) He made these observations that he might get, if possible, some explanation 'of this ex- tmordinary fact, and he hoped that Ministers would tell them what were the electric currents which passed through the Government of the day, and under what influence they laboured, whenever these questions were considered. (Hear.) It was a most monstrous and insolent proceeding towards _ _ the house, and he hoped they would reject the vote as a dis tinct declaration that the feelings of the people ahould be respected, and that hei Majesty's Ministers should act in. accordance with those feelings, and not in accordance with. opinions which they were either afraid or ashamed to re cognise. (Cheers.) Lord J. MANNERS was quite at a loss to know to what influence the 'right hon. and learned gentleman alluded, and, as one of the late Government who had discussed these temporary buildings, he could safely say no influence had. animated their opinion on the matter. They were exces sively puzzled where to find a site. The hon. and learned gentleman suggested that the vacant ground at the back of Burlington-house should have been selected, and that 12 months was ample time to erect a permanent building for the Royal Academy. The hon. gentleman must have had. very little practical acquaintance with Government build ings if he supposed that in that short space of time any such building could be completed, and if temporary buildinga had been erected there they would have had to be pulled down before the permanent edifice could be finished. He took especial pains to inquire as to the best site, and as far • as his own opinion went, he thought no part so accessibl. as Carlton-rise. (Hear, hear.) But there were objection a to that and just at the moment, most fortunately as b thought, an offer was made by the Science and Art Depart ;- ment, to allow temporary buildings to be erected at Keri sington, where there was already the valuable collection , of pictures of Mr. Sheepshanks. That the national collectic sn of pictures was permanently established in Trafalgar-square was, in his opinion, as settled a point as anything could 'Do in that house. (Hear, hear.) On behalf of every depa . rt ment of the late Government he broadly and emphatically denied that there was the slightest intention whatever of placing these pictures permanently at Kensington. They were merely to be placed there as a temporary convenience, and because it was absolutely necessary they' should. be placed somewhere where they would be safe from fire and injury. (Hear, hear.) - Mr. D. SEYMIQUK did not see why the buildings muld not be erected as easily and economically in the square of Burlington-house as at Kensington-gore. It looked as it there was some underhand influence at work to induce the house to change its resolution and so each item of the public collections was being successively moved to the west esid of London, where none but the rich could enjoy them. ( Hear, hear.) He deprecated any connection between the St: he and societies like the Royal Academy, and expressed his prefer • mice for giving money to the Royal Academy instead of a site. Mr. CONINGHAM. feared that the magnificent and spacious building which the Royal Academy would Fosses would injuriously affect the competing societies in. Suffolk street and elsewhere. He suggested that the Royal Academy should erect a temporary building, and vacate the National Gallery at once. Mr. D. SEYMOUR said it was evident the money had been already spent, and he wished to know out of whit fund. Mr. STIRLING thought that, as the Carlton-rise plan would only have cost £l,OOO, and this plan would cost £9,000, the objections to the former were nine times less than the objections to the latter. They might hire a house a £l,OOO a year which would hold all the pictures, and if they wanted it for two years they would save £7,000. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. LOCKE wished to know why these pictures could not be placed in the wing of the building in Trafalgar square, of which he believed the Royal Academy had pos session only by sufferance. The sum of £lO,OOO ought to be sufficient to erect a permanent, and not merely a tempo rary building. (Rear.) Sir J. SHELLEY said there was nothing in the vote to show that it was to be a temporary building. Sir M. PETO thought the Government, instead of spend ing £lO,OOO cn such temporary erections, would have done better to have advertised for buildings in which these pic tures could have been exhibited. It might have obtained the rooms of the British Institution in Suffolk-street, or the Polytechnic. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was the misfortune of discussions of questions of art in that house that it allowed all the subjects connected with it to run into one another. On. this vote the house had discussed the constitution of the Royal Academy, its condition and rela tions to the public and the site of the National Gallery. On the latter point nothing could be more clear than the state ment of his noble friend (Lord Palmerston), that it was the generally expressed wish of the House of Comnions that the gallery should be kept in Trafalgar-square. With regard to the Royal Academy, it would be very inconvenient at that moment to discuss its relations with the Government ; but there was no disposition whatever on the part of the Govern • ment to defeat the intentions of the house. It would be ac commodated on some part of the site of Burlington-house, but the disposal of that site was a great question,• and it would be qu:t3 inexcusable of the Government if it parted with the whole of it piece by piece. With respect to the question immediately before the house ' what had been done was to meet a case of urgency, and took place before the estimates could be brought forward. It would, perhaps, have been more convenient had the amount of this vote been paid out of the civil contingencies, which were intended to to provide for such urgent cases. It appeared that some ! progress had e h d ad w b h e ; ent did not make use of the n th m e ad G e The answer to the rooms belonging to the Royal Academy. o i v n ern cre m ating these buildings , it had d existedthe exhibition of poses, one primary, the other secon ary, of the Academy, its question was, that the Royal Academy for two pur pictures was only the secondary purpose principal object was teaching. Now, such were the condi tionsof the space occupied by the Royal Academy , that during the period of its exhibition of pictures it was obliged to suspend the teaching of its schools ; and if the Govern ment took the rooms of the Academy it would totally para lyse the means of teaching. Another suggestion was, that these temporary buildings should be raised on the vacant space at the back of Burlington - house ; but in the course of a year or two, when the space would be required for the permanent edifice, these temporary erections must be again removed and placed somewhere else; the inconvenience of the case would be thus aggravated. There was a great deal in the suggestion that Government might have hired build ings for the purpose, but much could also be said against it. If the buildings at Kensington were inconveniently situated with respect to the Tower Hamlets, they would be inconve nient with regard to some part of the metropolis wherever they might be placed. But at Kensington they were acces sible to a large part of the population of London, not belong ing exclusively to the upper classes, which derived from the collection there abundant enjoyment of a kind it never be fore possessed. The buildings for which the vote was asked were temporary, as far as the pictures were concerned, but he understood they would be available for other pur poses after the paintings were removed. The establish ment at Kensington was a young and growing one— (" Hear, hear," and laughter)—and extremely popular. It was intended to be a repository of illustrations of art, and it could not remain stationary ! or it would become a mu seum.

As pear As s Sir J. SHELLEY would not object to the vote if the buildings were applied to public purposes when the pictures were removed. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought there had been a sys tematic attempt to set aside the authority of the house. Mr. MALINS would support the vote if assured that the buildings would ultimately be required for a permanent and public purpose.
