Ettrli 12trition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock, IMPERIAL PAR LIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS.--(This Evening.) Their lordships assembled at 5 o'clock. Lord REDESDALE, as deputy•speaker, occupied the ♦oolsack. The house presented rather a singular appearance, trout the change of places occasioned by the members and supporters of the late Ministry taking their seats on the Opposition side of the house. The seat formerly occupied by the Earl of Derby was this evening filled by Earl Granville, next to his lordship sat Lord Cranworth and the other peers who held office in the late ministry. The Ministerial side was rather thinly attended ; the front or Government bench was occupied by the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Lonsdale, Lord Col 'Life, and the Duke of Montrose. THE CAGLIARI. Lad LYNDHURST presented a petition on behalf of the Iwo persons arrested on board the Cagliari steamer. It complained of the ill-treatment to which they had been subjected, by which the health of both had been very greatly impaired. THE CASE OF AZZOPARDI. Lord LYIC_DHURST said he wished to explain a state na.mt he had made respecting Azzopardi, who on Monday last 13,.• had stated was hanged. He had since received a letter which stated that the sentence of death had been corntautec; to transportati,n, and that he had been sent to Norfolk Island in 1843. CIIRISTIANITY IN INDIA. The Duke of NARLBORGUGH presented a petition from East Suffolk, praying that the bible might be intro duced into the Government schools in India, and that there be no farther connection with the Hindoos in the government of India. LAW OF LIBEL BILL. Lord CAMPBELL said the second reading of this bill stood for Monday next, but in consequence of cer tain circumstances he thought it would be better that the second reading should be postponed until a future day L . ord LYNDHURST ap,ked the noble lord whether the provisions of the bill might not be made .more extensive. Lord CAMPBELL said he had gone as far as he thought he could do with safety, but if his noble friend would take the bill on his hands he should feel great pleasure in committing it to his keeping. Lord STANHOPE said the bill as it stood had the advantage of being the recommendation of a select com mittee. If the bill was made more extensive in its effects, a fresh measure would have to be introduced which would not have that recommendation. After a short conversation the second reading of the bill was postponed. THE NEW MINISTRY. The Marquis of SALISBURY said his noble friend at the head of the Government had thought it would be more respectful to the house if he abstained from making the usual ministerial statement until Monday next, and he accordingly moved the adjournment of the house until that day. Bad. GRANVILLE said that when his noble friend the Earl of Aberdeen asked for a similar adjournment, the noble earl, not now in the house (Lord Derby) said he thought that 24 hours, or three days at the utmost, was all that was required to complete his arrangements. He was not going to follow that course, because it was of great public importance that a new Government should have some opportunity of inspecting official do curneata in the public offices, of coneidering their policy, aad also the manner in which they intended to bring that policy bolore the public at large. The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships adjourned until Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the ckair at 4 o'clock. The attendance of members was very numerous. The house presented a changed appearance, aad from the Opposition having taken their places on the Ministerial side of the house, it was with much difficulty the Govern ment members could be recognised. Sir J. Graham, Mr. S. Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, MrDrnmmond, Sir De Lacy Evans, and Sir C. Napier sat in their usual places en the Ministerial side of the house, below the gangway. Mr. Spooner took a seat immediately behind the Ministerial bench. Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Fitzgerald occupied seats on the present Ministerial bench, and appeared highly delighted with their change of quarters. Mr. Hayter, Mr. Lowe, Mr. J. Fitzgerald, Mr. Wilson, Sir B. Hall, and some other members of the late Govern ment occupied seats on the front Opposition benches. Mr. Roebuck, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. J. W. Fox, Mr. Cardwell, Sir F. Baring, Mr. J. Bright, and Mr. Gibson occupied corresponding seats on the Opposition side of the house to those they did on the Ministerial side before the resignation of Ministers. None of the members of the old or new Ministry were present. Many of the members on entering the house were unable to recognise the change, and could with diffi culty realise their friends. The late Attorney-General, on entering the house, walked up to the Ministerial benches, where he appeared greatly surprised to find Mr. Whiteside sitting at his ease. The hon. and learned , gentlemen shook hands, and it was only on the late Attorney-General calling to his assistance his eye-glass tnat he discovered his mistake, and walked across to the Opposition side of the house amidst roars of laughter in which ntany of his late colleagues heartily joined. The attendance of members on the Opposition side of the house vras far more numerous than those on the Minis terial bide. Lord Palmerston arrived at 20 minutes past 4 o'clock, amidst loud cheers. He entered the house from behind the Speaker's chair. He took his seat in the front opposition bench, immediately opposite his usual seat on the ministerial side of the house. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Several private bills were read a second time, NEW WR[TS. Oa the motion of Sir W. JOLLIFFE, the following new wzits were ordered for Buckinghamshire, in the ro ?m of Mr. Disraeli, who has accepted the office 41 Chancellor of the Exchequer ; for Sings Lynn, in the room of Lord Stanley ; for the University of Canaubridge, in the room of Mr. Walpole—who have been appointed Secretaries of State; for Droitwich, in the room of Sir J.

JOLLIFFE in moving the adjournment of the House on its rising till Monday, said he did so with a view to inform the House the convet it was proposed to be pursued by her Majesty's Ministers. It was the desire of the noble earl at the head of her Majesty's Government, that the) house should assemble again on Monday for the despite h of business, and at the same time move such writs as might be necessary for those offices that had not yet been filled up. It would then be his duty to ask the house to adjourn from Monday till Friday week, the 121 th March, the earliest period they could naturally hops leer Majesty's Ministers would be again in their places' to conduct the business of the house. (Hear.) Sir It. BETHELL addressed the house at consider able length, in reference to statementa attributed to Lord Derby in the other house during the consideration of certain bills last session of Parliament a ll t e h r i Howie of Lords, of what he (Sir R. Bethell) con er e of a personal character. (Hear, hear.) He also complained of l ea • hear) — without judges expounding the law— (hear,argurnents and ignorant of the circurnsta nces to w hich it was to be applied, and also Condemned their rushing hastily to record their opinions. Such persons he - considered, disqualified themselves from sittingin t e i lgment on finch a case, should one ever arise. e proceeded to review the question under the consideration of the house on Friday night, and defended the opinion he had expr essed on that occasion relative to the alien la ws , fromle tc !n terpreta. tion that had been erroneously attributed tin the other house. He was about to quote the words he had used on that occasion when IF:. SCOTT rove to order. It was contrary to th e standing orders of the House for hon. members to quote a debate that had occurred in the same session of parliament. wasTheer //k . - K - Ell, said th e ho t] and learned g en tl eman y giving a personal expla . nation , and that he was in order.

(Hear. hear.) Mr. S.

Mr. S. WARREN said he was alarmed a b t the _o a pip e io x n . the boo. and learned member for Ayles b ury b d pressed, and was about to read an extract from the hon. and learned gentleman's speech, which, however, was ruled out of order, and the hon. and learned gentle. men (Mr. Warren) desisted, but he could not help saying it would have been as well if the hon. and learned gentleman the member for Aylesbury had confined himself to explaining, and not attribute to the Lord Chief Justice that he had garbled the extracts he had quoted from the speech to suit his own purpose. Mr. WHITESIDE defended the course adopted by the Lord Chief Justice, and the opinion he had ex pressed on the Law of Conspiracy. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to. SITTINGS OF COMMITTEES. On the motion of Sir J. GRAIIIII, leave was given for the committee of the house to sit during the ad journment of the house. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM. Mr. MILNES gave notice that he should, on this day fortnight, bring under the notice of the house the pre sent passport regulation. (Hear, hear.) MAYNOOTH. Mr. SPOONER gave notice that shortly after the Easter recess he should move for the introduction of a bill for the withdrawal of the endowment of May. nouth. (Loud cheers.) EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. After a short conversation the further consideration of this bill was postponed on the opposition of the hon. member for Devonport (Sir E. Perry), on the ground that the house had had no time to discuss the principle of the bill, and the risk involved jof throwing a great responsibility on the finances of this country. It was adjourned till Monday to ascertain the views of the pre sent Government thereon. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad journed at 6 o'clock. THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. ISAAC BUTT, M.P. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE,—THIS DAY. The Committee reassembled this morning at 12 o'clock. Sir J. Graham in the chair. Sir J. Hogg, Tice-chairman of the East India Company, examined by Mr. Roebuck—The hon. gentleman said, to wards the end of July, 1857, he recollected a conversation with Mr. Butt. He urged the propriety of a compromise of the affairs of Ali Moored, as an act of justice, pointing out that the evidence was insufficient. He also urged it on the grounds of expediency, and said further, that if his suggestions were not adopted, he intended to bring the sub ject before the House of Commons, and that he thought the directors would hardly wish to have their acts ques tioned by the house. Mr. Butt brought with him the memorial of Ali Moored. He (Sir J. W. Hogg) told Mr. Batt that it was his duty to read the documents, but that he would rather not discuss the subject in private. Mr. Butt said he did not wish the directors to rescind their orders, but he wished them to give directions to the commission in Scinde, to consider the Ameer's claims. He looked upon Mr. Butt as coming before him as a mem ber of the House of Commons, who was desirous of not bringing a certain matter under Parliamentary considera tion if he could avoid it, he (Mr. B.) believing that the de cision of the Government and the Board of Directors was not just. In consequence of this circumstance the Court took the case of Ali Moored into consideration, and the result was that they adhered to their former decision, but any decision of the directors was sibjeot to the President °tithe Board of Control, who seemed in favour of giving directions to the commissioner in Soinde ' which Mr. Butt required. Mr. Butt said if the directors did not make the compromise he would bring the matter before the House of Commons, the session being still sitting. In consequence of that statement the claims were considered. Some documentary evidence was then submitted by the witness ; but an objection to its reception having been taken, the room was cleared, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour the public wore admitted, when the chairman announced that the committee had decided not to receive the documents at the present stage of the in quiry. The examination of the witness was then continued in connection with the communications between the Board of Control and Mr. Butt. It would not be proper to call the communication from the Court of Directors a despatch —it was, in fact, a letter to Ali Moored. The decision of the Court of Directors was partially equivalent to the sug gestion of Mr. Butt, but not to the same extent. The letter stated that if on his arrival at Bombay he con ducted himself in a favourable manner his case would most likely meet with the most favourable consider tion. It frequently happened that members of Par liament interested themselves and consulted the Court of Directors on matters relating to India. He considered the Government of India was the proper tribunal for the subject. He was not aware that members of Par liament ever addressed the Board of Directors collectively on such matters, but there was no doubt they had fre quently spoken to some of the directors. The late Mr. Hanle had spoken to himself and other members of the court on the subject of the claims of the Raja of Sattara and other matter relatives to India. He was positive that Mr. Butt adverted to the expediency of such a discussion in Parliament on the then state of India, but he confined himself to generalities. He did not recollect that Mr. Butt said it would be expedient to leave no irritation on the minds of the people of India who might hear of the rejection of the Ameer's slain), and it was on that ground that he urged the commission. It was after the news of the revolt reached England. By Mr. Sergeant Kinglake—Can you, Sir James, posi tively state that in the interview Mr. Butt had with you he stated he would make an application to Parliament, or whether an application would be made ? Sir J. W. Hogg —I cannot say positively, but to the best of my recollection, he said he should feel it his :duty to make the application. I have no distinct recollection of the conversation. Mr. David Coffey, of Dominick-street, Dublin, brother of the petitioner, said—He knew Mr. Butt, and retained him on the part of the Ameer in June, 1856. Mr. Butt was than in Parliament. He settled with him (Mr. Butt) on the subject of the Ameer's claim in Parliament, and soli sited his advocsoy of the case in Parliament. On one oc casion he marked a blank sheet of paper with five guineas as a conference fee, and gave the money to Mr. Butt. To the best of his recollection he gave the paper to Mr, Butt. He had an acknowledgment from Mr. Butt for ithe money. (The witness was here asked to produce it, but he had it not with him.) It was for a consultation with respect to the presentation of the petition of Ali Moored to Par liament. He had not seen the petition amongst the Par liamentary papers, but by the newspapers he saw it had been presented. Mr. R D. Mangles, the Chairmen of the Board of Direc tors of the East India Company, having entered the room, it was agreed that his evidence should be at once taken, and Mr. David Coffey was directed to proceed to his re sidence in London and fetch the document to which he had referred. The hon. gentleman stated that he had had conversations with Mr. Butt respecting the claims of Ali Moored. He wished the Court of Directors to take a favourable view of the case of the Ameer, and to remit a portion of the penalty inflicted upon him. He understood Mr. Batt to say that if some compromise was not made with Ali Moored he intended to make an application to Parliament. This occurred in the month of May. By Mr. Sergeant Deasy—He had an indistinct recollec tion that in conversation with Mr. Butt on the Ameer's claims he spoke on the authority of Mr. Vernon Smith. By Mr. Bright—Mr. Butt stated his views why the claim of the Ameer should bo taken into consideration, and he believed he suggested on public grounds a reference to India. He did not think the Court of Directors yielded in some cases similar to the present from fear, but in the present instance it was thought better to make a small concession rather than fight a battle without the support of her Majesty's Government, and a concession to this ex tent was granted to the Ameer. Go back to India and we'll see what can be dons for you. It was not that he feared a discussion in Parliament, but he considered what ever might be the justice of the Court of Directors, they would suffer injury from a chance discussion. By Mr. Sergeant Kin ,lake--It was not because the court feared of coming into collision with the Government or that it would be an unseemly spectacle. He had great fear of the company being left in the lurch. If the Court of Directors they would have made the concession. By Mr. Bright—He believed Ali Moorad was now in Scinde. By Sir J. Graham—He supposed he was acting in accord. ance with directions in the letter sent to him by the court. The examination of Mr. Mangles having concluded, Mr. Prinsep read his translation of the two Persian letters sent to him yesterday in order to test the accuracy of Mirea Ali Akhbar'e version. Mr. Prinsep's translation agreed in the main with Mirza's. The words " son of Satan" " ac cursed" as applied to Mr Coffey wore confirmed by Mr. Prinsep, as also were the allegations that Mr. Coffey was detaining the Ameer on his road to India. The examination of Mr. David Coffey was then continued —He produced the document which was read by the chair- man. It was a blank sheet of foolscap, and endosred with Mr. Butt's initials as having received 5 guineas. By Mr. Roebuck —He made no agreement with Mr. Butt with respect to the advocacy of the Ameer's claims, nor any proposition, nor did he offer anything to Mr. Butt. He merely asked to advocate the Ameer's claims. He had once a conversation with Mr. Butt when he said he was going to India, an 1 that he was to receive 3,000/. it was to be paid to him in England, and 7,000/. was to be secured to him in bills. He never said he had an agree ment with his (witness's) broker, He had heard his brother say Mr. Butt was a made man, but that was of no consequence. By Mr. Sergeant Deasy—He had never sent Mr. Butt a retainer. There were some legal consultations at Sir F. Kelly's with respect to the claims of the Ameer. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., attended. He believed Sir F. Kelly re ceived his usual fee for that consultation. There were an immense number of consultations before the Ameer's memorial to the Queen was decided on. A letter from Mr. Butt was here read, addressed to Mr. David Coffey, and which he directed should be sent to Mr. James Coffey, the other brother of the petitioner. The letter called upon the witness and his brother James to state all they knew about the charge brought against him (Mr. Butt) by the petitioner. The answers from Mr. David and Mr. James Coffey were then read ; they both stated that they never heard of Mr. Butt receiving any money for his parliamentary influence. The only money they ever heard that Mr. Butt had been promised was 3,000/. for going out to India to arrange the affairs of the Ameer. Mr. Esdaile, of the firm of Hunt and Co., Parliamen tary agents, was next called, and asked to produce a bill of costs between them and. the Amour ; but lie pleaded it was a privileged document, and therefore ought not to be produced. - Mr. Deasy pressed for ther document, and the room wa3 ordered to be cleared. No decision had been arrived at when it was announced that the Speaker was at prayers. The committee then adjourned until to-morrow.

TATTERSALL'S—TuuRsDAY. The incidents of speculation were neither numerous nor important. For the Liverpool Steeplechase 7 to 1 was offered on the field, but anything over those odds would have been taken about Little Tom. Knight of the Shire maintained his position, and Tom Moody, who had been recently depressed, was again buoyant, and rose to 14 to 1. Morgan Rattler, however, was the animal most in demand. At 20 to 1 be was freely supported, and at the close 16 to 1 was the highest offer against him. 15 to 1 was taken to a bagatelle about Treachery, and 100 to 6 offered against The Brewer. The following seven were backed against the field : Little Tom, Knight of the Shire, Lough Bawn, Harry Loirequer, Treachery, Emigrant, and Tom Moody, The handicaps were operated upo❑ with little brisk- nest'. 15 to 1 was " wanted" about Odd Trick for the Northamptonshire Stakes. The betting on the Two Thousand and Chester Cup was too limited to require comment. Nothing whatever was done on the Derby.

(Sitting at Nisi Pries, before Lord Campbell and • Special Jury.) TUN QUEEN V. BROWN AND OTHZRS. TWILLYTII DAY. The trial of the informai toe against the directors and manager of the R syal British Bank for e , aspiring by false pretences to defraud the shareholders and cuss teeters and the public, was this day resumed, The same counsel appeared as before. Lord Campbell, on taking his seat on the bench this morning, stated that as soon as Mr. Atherton had eons eluded his address to the jury on behalf of the Crown iu reply to the defendants' cases, he should adjourn the Court f till to-morrow m orn i ng, t h a t h e m i g h t be aisle to carefully read over the evidence before he commenced summing up the case to the jury. Col. Bailie was called by Mr. D. Seymour on the part of ; Mr. Cameron. He depo ne d th at he was L ord - Lieutenan t of the county of Roes, and Mr. Cameron was his Deputy • Lieutenant. He believed him to be a man of integrity and honour. Mr. Atherton - then proceeded to address the jury - for the Crown, in reply to the defendants' eases. lele said the time had now arrived for the discharge of his part in this important case, of an arduous duty - which until the case had very far proceeded he had no reason to suppose would have been cast upon him, It was owing to the elevation of his learned friend Sir F. Thesiger to the highest position in the law of the country that he (lr. Atherton) stood before them as the leading counsel—au elevation in which the profession and • the community without exception rejoiced, and in which no man more rejoiced than he did, but he regretted the • ; moment at which it had occurred, because from that -1 moment was to be attributed the circumstance that the interests of justice, which he believed were bound up and involved in this case, had been committed to feebler hands than those to whom they were first entrusted, and he "' could not but feel the apprehension that thereby there was • i some chance or probability of a miscarriage of justice, which but for that would never have occurred. At the same time he admitted he felt great encouragement in the discharge of the duty that had been unexpectedly cast upon him, from the fact that before the jury were called neon to pronounce a verdict they would have the assistance of the luminous judgment, the profound learning, and the joint experience of the noble and learned judge who presided over the trial. It was also a matter of satisfaction to know that for eleven weary days the jury had exhibited a watch ful, vigilant, careful, and patient attention to the case which had been admired on both sides, which was credit• able alike to the individuals by whom it had been exhi bited, and to the country, who should be proud of such men, and the administration of justice, in which they took so prominent a part. In addressing himself to the case, which was now fully before them, he would endeavour to explain to them what he considered to be the law of the case, and the measure of proof that was required on the part of the Crown, and in doing so he would submit such general remarks and observations as it appeared to him the merits of the case required, and the proofs, as they success sively arose, that tended to bring home to the defendant' one after the other the crime with which they were chargeds particularly a knowledge that what they were vouching se true they knew to be an untruth for the purposes of defrauding the public. He had been asked by the learned counsel who appeared for the respective defendants, to point out the moment and the place of the conspiracy charged against them so as satisfac*.orily to establish the case, an d i n order to obtain from the jury a verdict of guilty against them. No such proof was required from the Crown, and could not be demanded nor ought to be expected. If it was to be expected that where several persons acted together for the attainment of a given end, proof should be shown of the meeting of the guilty conclave and the mode by which they succeeded, they would be deceived, because it could will bo rarely, if ever, shown. All that English law required in a proof of conspiracy was the consent of two or more por tions uniting for a single or common object for the whole to commit any illegal act. Lord Campbell said that the crime of conspiracy We e complete without acts having been done, but here sot. were laid against the defendants. Mr. Atherton said the evidence laid before the jury on the part of the Crown proved that the defendants had con' spired to accomplish au illegal object, viz., misrepresenting to the public the actual state of the bank, so as to induce the public to join it either as shareholders or depositors, or both. The learned gentleman remarked that a knowledge of the state of the bank when the false balance sheets foc i reports wore put forward was essen ial to the case, for without that was shown to be known to the defendant s, they could not be convicted, and he proceeded to gaol from the charter, showing the duties of the directors an the power given to th e m in c on d uc ti ng th e b us iness ° e ,; the bank, and afterw ar d s en t ere d a t grea t l eng th nu: minuteness into the details of the evidence, as showing that knowledge on the part of the defendants, He 0. minded the jury the charge rsgainst the defendants was not f that of having made a w as t e f u l i nve t ment o f the mewl the bank, or of having departed from the line of conduct the; should guide prudent and careful bankers in the dischargsee' their business; but that they, having a knowledge of tn! hopeless state of the bank, put faith false representati on ; to the public with a view to. deceive them. He the' referred to the securiti es w hi c h th e b an k h a d t a ken f their advances ; and in reference to the Welsh works,_‘l4 learned counsel said th a t i n J une , 1854 , th e b an k ofttl e b l e them for sale, fixing th e reserve p r i ce a t 60,0001.. ~"socs showed they we r e th en p re p are d to mee t w ith $ loss of 15,0001. ; yet finding they were unable to dis pose of them at that loss, they went on, after their bt),T, experience, to sink oth e r and l arge aunts, which they a .. wards endeavoured to r e gai n by ma ki ng f a l se r epresep•s ef tion to the public. At the me e ti ng i n February, 185''' the shareholders the directors held out that they could fial r , a dividend of 6 per cent., and a re p ot t o f th a t mat hate ing , the industriously distributed all o v er th e coun try to in public to join them. The learn e d g entleman ese analysed the balance-sheet containing the false rep defendants, co n• tions alleged to have been known to the • eluded his addr ess by re f err i ng t o th e p o ints of eviden ce which he con t en d e d connecte d th e d e f en d an t s with tbe i commission of the illegal acts with which they etoo o . r v n charged. The court shortly after adjourned. Country Markets. MANCHESTER—Fti. 25.
