CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there has been very little alteration in the general prospects of business in the manufacturing districts. Rather more activity has been experienced in the demand for India goods at Manchester, owing to the late advices from Bombay, but the home trade has been exceed ingly quiet. At Leeds the transactions have been limited, and confined to immediate re quirements. For piece goods at Bradford there has been only a moderate demand, the chief dealings have been in light fabrics. Wools and yarns were dull, and prices tended downward. The hosiery trade at Leicester has been ex tremely inactive owing to the late severe weather, but hopes are entertained of an improvement before long. At Birmingham there has been little altera tion of importance, the principal transactions hav ing been for the home markets. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has been rather more active, and a fair amount of business for the season has been done in the various manufactories connected with the neighbourhood of Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. Although rather more inquiry is experienced for money in some quarters, the market still remains in a comparatively quiet state with a large avail able supply, which is obtained on easier terms. Bankers end discount firms, who, a short time since, were reluctant to negotiate business even at rates per cent. above the minimum fixed at the Bank, are now willing to grant accommodation I to 1- per cent. below it, although they still exhibit conside rable caution, and are unwilling to extend their operations to long dated paper. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business continued moderately active, and prices were unaltered. The sales were 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a very quiet appearance, and quotations were steady. At 'the forthcoming meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Company the usual dividend of £2 per share for the half year will be proposed. The Copenhagen has been announced this morn ing with £156,900 in specie. The half-yearly dividend on the Russian 3 per Cent. ]3onds will be paid on and after the Ist of May next. _ _ _ The market for Public Securities has been rather dull to•day, in consequence of some sales of money stock. A very limited amount of business, how ever, has been transacted, and the market has con sequently remained in a quiescent state. Consols are 94-a I- for money, and 941 Z- for account. The New 3 per Cents. are steady at 931 7,-, and the Reduced at 93tl ; Bank Stock is firm at 225 ; India New Loan remains at 1061 t, ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 981 ; and Exchequer Bills are flat at 6s, to 10s. prem. In the Foreign Securities the transactions have again been on a moderate scale, and prices are slightly depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 76 to 761 ; ditto New, 61 to 611. Chilian 41 per Cents, have receded to 85; Mexican to 211 ; and Sardinian to 831. Russian 41 per Cents. are steady at 961; Portuguese at 431; and Spanish are firmer at 471. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 2 prem. ; the Universal ditto, ; and the Victoria Loan is 105 - The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been rather restricted, and prices have slightly given way in sympathy with the English Funds. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, North-Eastern (Berwick) have declined 55., and Midland, 10s. ; Great Northern A Stock have advanced 10s., and North-Eastern (Berwick), ss. The Foreign and Colonial Markets have not experienced any great variations ; prices, however, were flat. Lombardo-Venetian brought 11 . Z, and Buenos Ayres and San Francisco, 5:4 1, Grand Trunk of Canada were 341, and Great Western of Canada, 13: 13 1 , East Indian improved to 1021, and Great Indian Peninsula declined to 99k. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were in moderate request, and prices exhibited little variation. Bank of Australasia declined 55., and Crystal Palace improved 10s. to 15s.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet all kinds were much less active at, however, quite the late advance in the quotations. For all spring corn there was a steady con sumptive inquiry, on former terms. Flour commanded very full prices. _ _ Throughout the Continent the wheat trade continues ac tive, at full prices. Barley and all other produce have realised comparatively high rates, with a good demand. The American markets continue inactive. Only limited supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were extensive, viz., 23,357 quarters of wheat, 10,471 barley, 25,110 oats, 90 beans, 150 peas, 319 tares, 2,355 lin seed, 1,693 rapeseed, 1,603 maize, 68 sundry seeds, and 340 sacks of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day, from Essex, was very limited ; from Kent, moderately good ; and on the whole, the supply was in fair condition. About 180 quarters of wheat from the former county were disposed of for shipment to Ireland. For home consumption there was a fair, but by no means active, inquiry, at last Monday's advance in tbe quotations. We were well supplied with Foreign wheat, although nearly the whole of last week's importation has gone direct to the millers. All kinds were a slow inquiry. Neverthe less, late rates were well supported, and importers generally were firm in their demands. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, but not dearer. The show of English barley was very limited—of foreign, moderately good. All kinds commanded very full prices, and the trade was in a healthy state. The malt trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, how ever, no change took place. Oats—although the arrivals from abroad continue in a Full average scale—moved off freely, at full quotations. There was a steady sale for both beans and peas, at full prices. The flour trade was far from active, yet the advance of Monday last was well supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASURE.

The total importations of foreign stock into London, last week, amounted to 1,939 head. In the corresponding week in 1859 we received 941; in 1853, 2,318 ; in 1357, 1,494; in 1856, 431 ; in 1855, 1,243 ; and in 1854, 1,101 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST 'WEEK, From. Beasts. Sheep.

A full average supply of beasts, as to number, was re ceived fresh up from our own grazing districts, but their condition was by no means first rate. The primest Scots were in improved request, at extreme currencies, they has • ing realised fully 4s 10d per 81bs. ; otherwise the beef trade was far from active, at last week's prices. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 2,500 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other parts of England 420 various breeds, and from Scot land 140 Scots and crosses. Owing to the shortness of keep in the country there was a large number of sheep in the market. 'I he primest old Downs in the wool moved otf steadily at fully 5s 10d, out of the wool bs per Sibs. Other kinds met a slow inquiry, and in some instances prices were a shads lower than on this day se'nnight. Tho lamb trade was somewhat heavy, at last week's de cline in value. We have to report a slow inquiry for calves, at from 46 8d to 5s 6d per Sibs. Pigs were in moderate supply and sluggish request, on former terms.

The scratching of Buccaneer, and the retrograde of The Wizard for the Two Thousand Guineas, has been looked upon with great suspicion ; and, when such public performers as Traducer, Tom Bowline, Lupulus, Brother to Rainbow, and Nicholas are made the favourites I cannot but regard the race as a most open one. The public will not have an opportunity of witnessing on this occasion the much vaunted Yankee clipper, Umpire, as he was scratched this day at 11 a.m. The run ners, I expect, will comprise the following : Lupslus, The Rap, Richmond, Aurora, King of Diamonds, Brother to Rainbow, The Wizard, St. James, Nicholas, Traducer, Tom Bowline, and Bivouac. John Scott is so celebrated for his Two Thousand preparation, and Torn Bowline has wintered so well, that, unless a frightful mistake has been made in the trial, which took place last Wednesday, he ought to get his head first, brit I do not expect he ss ill turn out the real" Simon Pure'' for the Derby. Traducer we saw fit as a fiddle at Northampton, and the speed he showed in the Spencer's Plate makes him out a racehorse. Since then he has been put with Promised Land, and done all that was required. There is no animal in training at the present moment so fit or so well as the Land, and the style in which he cut down such horses as Eskdale and Red Eagle on Friday proves beyond doubt he is the best horse of his year. - However, Traducer's performances as a two year old were of such mediocre quality that I must hold my allegiance from him. Lupulus, as feu• as public running goes, is the best horse in the race, as witness his beating Thormanby, Buccaneer, Madame Eglantine, Restes, and a host of others too numerous to mention. With Fordham on his back he ought to take his place at the finish before the others, and the only reason I don't trust him in preference to the rest is that he has been so unhealthy is the betting. Whether people lay because they don't think he can stay, or from other cause, I cannot state ; but certainly his chance is far greater on his merits than the ring estimate, and if he were to come again I should be very sweet uT)on him. Brother to Rainbow will improve upon his performance at the last Newmar ket meeting, and I will be much disappointed if he does not get a "situation." The King of Diamonds, as a Champagne winner, has pretensions that must not be overlooked ; and although his being behind Brother to Rainbow last week looks fatal to him, I am satisfied he will run better this time. Richmond is daily improving, but I have seen nothing yet to justify my belief in his winning. St. James ought to perform in a superior style to his last exhibition, for they said then it was like Cynricus' running. And if the Saint was to come up to that pitch the race would be virtually over; but I despair of such a revolution being effected in him. Lord Zetland's team are all so backward they can have no chance, and the Rap is to run untried, so he will have no thing but his good looks to recommend him. It would be difficult to find a better public performer among the " certain" starters than Aurora, who was always there or thereabouts" last season in the best of company, and were Thormanby to partici pate in this encounter he would not have 71b. the best of her. The Daneburyites are said to be very fond this time, and as her defeat of Contadina, Thormanby, King of Diamonds, Trovatore, &c., fur the Clearwell, which race betrayed her thorougli gameness, cannot be overlooked, I am inclined to suppose her pretensions equal to those of the favourites, no matter what figure she stands at in the market. As John Scott is always so formidable in this race I will not desert him on this occasion, and will anticipate seeing the horses placed by the judge in the following order : TOM BOWLINE KING OF DIAMONDS BROTHER TO RAINBOW Luff managed to finish at Antonio's head Across the Flat last autumn, from the latter not being capable of travelling a distance, and he ought, conse quently, to gallop her down for the 300 Soya Sweep stakes over the four-mile Beacon Course. Comforter is in such a form that he may be entrusted to carry 9st 111 b for the Free Handicap on the T.Y.C. I may also safely charge the Coffee Boom Stakes to Petruchio, and the 25 Sovs Sweepstakes to Little Lady, while the juvenile Glenluce need be only moderate to beat his elder brother on the T.Y.C. at two stone for the year. Pandora appeared to mend a little last autumn, and is worth standing against Tight Fit with 111 b in the R.M., it being a near thing between them, as is also the D. M. Handicap, with Harry Stanley, and the best of the Americans—probably Cock-a- Hoop, who must be made the favourite against Harry, at a stone for the year ; but the half-mile and A. F. Sweepstakes have every appearance of proving certainties for Actaeon and Thunderbolt, as Thormanby is not likely to oppose the latter before the Derby day. For the One Thousand on Thursday I prefer the chances of SAGITTA and CONTADINA. April 23. A FRESH MAN. POLICE INTELLIGENUE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HIGHWAY ROBBURY BY A WELL-KNOWN THIEF. — Catherine Dawson, a notorious thief, and well known as an associate of thieves, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a silver hunting watch, of the value of £4, the pro- . perty of William Smith, an elderly man, a coach painter, under the following daring circumstances : The prosecutor said ho was going up Upper St. Martin's lane on Saturday night, a little after twelve o'clock, when the prisoner and a companion came in front of him, upon which he stepped aside and tried his utmost to get away from them. The prisoner then made a snatch at his watch, which was in his waistcoat pocket, and he had no doubt handed it to the other woman, who immediately started off in a different direction. The prosecutor managed to seize the prisoner, who commenced a severe struggle, in which his thumb was nearly wrenched from the socket. lie could swear positively to the prisoner being the one who took the watch. _ _ _ _ A 'constable said the watch had not been found. Sergeant Cole, 9 C, said he knew tho prisoner as a noto rious thief. lie had seen her at Bow-street, and at this court for robberies, and she was considered a " clever woman in her profession." Sergeant Silverton said she was well known to him as an associate of thieves. Mr. Beadon said she would be remanded for a week for further inquiries to be made. THE GREAT EASTERN.—The directors have ap pointed Captain Vine Hall to the command of the great ship. A more fitting successor to the late Capt. Harrition could not well have born selected, i,nd he is an officer who possesses many of those qualities which gained for the late commander the high position which he occupied in the naval profession rapt.llall hae had a large amount of expericnce in thz command of shins of the first class in the Mediter ranean, South AmeriA Australia, and India. His con duct in connection with the Crcesus, of 2,700 tons, which upon arrival at Sydney was found to be frightfully leaky, many of the plates Navin e - started, gained him the approba tion and friendship of the late Mr. Brunel. There was no dock into which he could put his ship, and with gloat per severance he succeeded in form in g a basin, by driving two rows of piles round the vessel, filling up the space between, then pumping the water out, and by this means he was en abled to repair and bring home the ship with a mo s t valu able cargo. 'When the Cro'ms : with troops and stores for the Crimea, was destroyed by fire off Genoa, his conduct received the highest approbation from the Admiralty. As captain of the Golden Fleece, with troops fur India, he made the quickest voyage on record between England and Calcutta. In 1857 Captain Hall was elected a P.R.A.S., and was the first, officer in the merchant service who took a first-class certificate in steam examination under the Mer cantile Marine Act. 100 Stock 20 Sto. { Stook 100 100 100 100 100 Stock Stock FOREIGN RAILWAYS. le Antwerp & Rotterdan - all 41 41 20 Ardennes all o 20 ilah.&S.Fran.,Lim.7p.c 7 4 Id If 5 Belgian East.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack A five o'clock. THE DIVORCE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said their lordship were aware that the Divorce Bill stood for committee the first thing this evening, but he had received a communication from Lord Redesdale, chairman of committees, informing him that owing to severe indisposition he was unable to attend that evening. Under these circumstances he should postpone the further proceeding until Thursday next. CHURCH RATES. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a number of peti tions against the abolition of church rates, and against any alteration in the law of marriage. COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. Lord VIVI AN said a question stood upon the paper in his name for that evening, but as the question had been so fully answered in another place he should not further trouble their lordships. The discovery of the illegal sale of examination papers fop candidates for commissions in the army had been made, and ho hoped stringent steps would be adopted to prevent such a circum• stance again occurring. PRIVATE DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE. The Marquis of NORMANBY rose to move the follow ing resolution :—That it appears by the papers lately laid before Parliament, and especially by a despatch from Earl Cowley to Lord John Russell, dated sth February, that the French minister had stated, and truly, that the intention of the Emperor of the French to take possession of Savoy under certain contingencies had been made known to her Majesty's ambassador at Paris, and by him communicated to her Majesty's Secretary of State on more than one occa sion between the 12th of July, 1859, and the 25th of January, 1860, in private letters. That while this house fully recognises the necessity of a private correspondence between the Secretary of State and her Majesty's represen tatives abroad, it is of opinion that all facts of international importance ought to be made matter of official correspon dence, and as such to remain on record for the use not only of the Government of the day but of their succes sors in office, to be produced to or withheld from Parlia ment by the ministers of the Crown on their responsi bility. That the absence of any such record, more " espe cially if such private correspondence is referred to in public despatches," is injurious to the public service, unjust alike to the Foreign Minister who made the communication and to official colleagues at home, and calculated to withhold important matter from the full and free control of Parliament. The noble marquis having alluded to the circumstances which had induced him to place the resolution on the paper of their lordships' house, said he did not intend it as a vote of censure upon any party, but merely as a declaration of a principle. He had since he had given his motion taken the opportunity of examining the papers that had been presented to Parliament, but Oin the subject the information was so meagre that he felt right to proceed with his resolution ; and, in doing so, it was not his intention to raise another debate upon the Italian war. His lordship then alluded to the correspon dence between the Governments of England and France, and also to certain despatches written by Lord John Russell on the annexation of Nice and Savoy to France, and read extracts from them, and went on to refer to the different questions he had put to the Government in the early part of the session on the subject. He had been blamed for wasting their lordships' time, but the facts now showed that the information on which he had acted was true in every particular. On one occasion he had asked the Government whether any information had been received relative to a secret treaty between France and Sardinia for the annexation of Nice and Savoy, and ho had been told that no such information had been received, when it now appeared that Lord Cowley had in a private letter to Lord John Russell, ;he Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, sent him infor metion on the subject. On the sth of February /1 despatch had been written by Lord Cowley, but it was endorsed as having been received on the Bth, and he should like lettersenle explanation of the extraordinary circums t an ce of a taking three days to travel from London to Paris, unless there was some object to gain by the lette r not ar r ivin g at its destination before that time. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(MIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. - NEW MEMBER. Mr. CALCUT took the oaths and his seat for the county of Claie. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills wore read a third time :—Central Wales Railway, and the Great Southern of India Railway Company. The London and South Western Railway (New Line to Bristol and Exeter. Railway at Exeter, &c.) (Dublin;CitY) St e am Packet Company; Keith and Dufftown Railway; and Torquay Gas Bills, were considered and ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of and against the Wine Licensing Bill, in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, in favour of the adoption of tho suggestions of parties practically acquainted with the subject of Scotch fishery in any bill on that subject, in favour of the Government Reform Bill, in favour of the abolition of the duty on hops, contemporaneously with the passing of the Wine Licensing Bill. MERCHANT SHIPPING. Mr. HORSFALL- moved that the report of the Select Committee of 1845 on Lighthouses, and the reports on Passing Tolls and Local Charges ; as also copies of the following statutes, 9 and 10 Tie. c. 93, an Act for compen sating the families of persons killed by accident ; the Mer chant Shipping Act, 1854 ' • the Merchant Shipping Act, 1855 ; the Passenger Act, 1855; and the Chinese Passen ger Act, 1855, be referred to the Select Committee on Mer chant,Shipping—Agreed to. THE NAVY. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON moved far a copy of proposed plan for retirement and promotion of naval officers which was left by Sir J. Pakington, when he quitted office, in"the hands of the present First Lord of the Admiralty.— Ordered. . _ _ _ _ Sir C. NAPIER gave notice that he would ask the Government a question relative to their not adopting the suggefrtion of the commission appointed to inquire into the subject of the naval reserve force. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. B. OSBORNE asked the hon. member for Salfor d whether it was his intention to press his motion in respect to the Reform Bill being referred to a select committee ? Mr. MASSEY said that as it was considered that his motion would have the effect of obstructing, if not negativ ing, the Reform Bill, and as he had no such intention, he would not press his motion. (Hear, hear, and Oh, oh.) THE ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. E. JAMES resumed the adjourned debate on the second reading of this bill. He contended that the argu ments against the Reform Bill of the Government were untenable, and that if the Opposition were sincere in their hostility to that bill, the more straightforward course for them to have adopted was to have met it with a direct negative, instead of meeting it by an insidious opposition. (Hear, hear.) Though he approved of much ihich the measure contained, still it was open to very serious objec tion. In the first place, it did not go 'to the .necessaa y length of disfranchising and enfranchising, which latter was a result of the former. Besides, it did not confer the lodger franchise, and that franchise, he believed, considering the intelligence and position of the class in question, was most desirable, and that their admission to the electoral role was really necessary in order to counteract the demo cratic element that would be introduced into the national constituency by the operation of this bill. He objected also to the principle adopted in the bill with reference to the basis of assessment as a ground for the franchise. He believed that the Government were not aware of the extent to which the bill would confer the franchise. (Opposition cheers.) He was not one of those who had any appre hension of danger to result from the extension of the Mtn chise to the working classes ; on the contrary, he believed that the introduction of these classes would tend to conso lidate all that was valuable in the constitution of the coun try, He argued that the basis of the poor-law rating for the possession of the franchise was utterly fallacious. The lion, member stated that he had been in communication with vestry clerks and other persons competent to give informa tion in reference to the assessment of persons in the metro polis, as well as in 'provincial boroughs, and the result was that there was not the slightest doubt that the basis to which he alluded was completely absurd. The mistake committed by the Government was that instead of getting the na:nes of parties assessed to the taxes, to found data, they should have obtained the number of the houses in the United Kingdom which were charged with assessed taxes. That would have afforded a clear and inter legible basis upon which to found a Reform Bill, -He considered that this bill unsettled many things, and settled nothing. Shear, hear.) He accused the Government of being deficient in that boldness and courage which were necessary to- deal with a question of such magnitude as-the present, and contended that the bill introduced by the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) in Mt was far superior to the pre sent measure. The former bill proposed to disfranchise 19 boroughs, and placed at the disposal of the Government no less than 63 seats. That bill proceeded upon the sound principle of taking into account population as well as elec tors. He protested that on going through the list of places to be deprived of one member and others who were to receive additional members, he could not understand the logical principle on which the Government proceeded in the fram ing of the measure. Having adverted to the evils that existed under the system of close boroughs, he denied that Lord Macaulay could be adduced, as hon. members on the other side of the house had attempted to do, in favour of that system, and quoted from a speech of the noble and learned lord in support of his position. Ho considered the bill of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) was preferable to-this of the noble lord the member for London, because it contained the most invaluable element, the lodger franchise. In refer ence to that franchise he had receives letters from persons in the most respectable positions in society, stating that for a number of years they had paid as much as £5O a year for lodgin,s, , s, and yet they were not considered eligible for the exercise of a political right enjoyed by persons who paid only £6 a year rent, and who derived their subsistence from a very humble calling. He gave the noble lord the Foreign Secretary credit for sincerity in reference to the question of reform, but he maintained that the present bill was a total failure, and that Government had lost a most favour able opportunity for settling satisfactorily for a quarter of a century the important question of Parliamentary Reform. (Hear, hear.) He asserted that the Government should have aken a bold position in regard to this bill, and he trusted that when the measure passed into committee it would undergo such alterati nix as would adapt it to the requirements and progress of the community at large. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HARDY strongly denounced the arguments in favour of the bill, which he contended • re • ceived the cordial support of nobody either in or out of the house, and at the utmost obtained only the qualified approval of those who had spoken in favour of its provisions. He assailed very strongly the arguments used by the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright) in his speech on this bill, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) • .., COST OF THE IVEEDOA INQUIRY. A Parliamentary return, printed at the instance of Colonel Dunne, shows that the cost of the Wee don Commission amounted to £9,835 Os. 6d., which is thus accounted for :—Remuneration to Colonel French (Commissioner), including personal, and travelling expenses, £538 9s. 2d. ; do. of Mr. Selfe (Commissioner), 60 days, at £5 Ss. per diem, £315 ; do. Mr. Dew, the secretary, for his services, £324 Os.; personal and travelling expenses of Mr.:Tur ner, Mr. Selfe, and Mr. Dew, £157 9s. Bd. ; allow ances to witnesses for attendance, £l7 17s. 4d. • paid for notes of evidence, £ 390 4 s. 4 d. ; claim of Messrs. Qvilter, Ball, Jay, and Co., accountants, in investi gatiog the store accounts at Weedon, £8,039, 4s. 10d. The Treasury auditor has reported to the Commis sioners of the Treasury on the above charges. Refer ring more especially to the enormous sum claimed by Messrs. Quilter and Co., the auditor says, " feel it my duty to disallow it, as having been in curred without authority and without reasonable proof of necessity, and as involving, both from the course pursued in the investigation and the high rate of charges made by the accountants employed, an useless and extravagant expenditure. He also states that the report of Quilter and Co. does not present those accurate results which might have been expected from professional accountants, after the expenditure of so much time and labour and that the report "is really of no practical value." • The auditor, it appears, wrote to Quilter and Co. for de tailed information with regard to their account, but he states that all he had been able to ascertain from them was, that the number of clerks employed from first to last was 21, of which number, with slight occasional interruptions, 17 were continuously em ployed. In answer to his inquiry respecting the pay allowed to their clerks, they replied, " the re muneration paid to our clerks is a matter strictly between them and us, a*d upon which it is not the practice either to give or require explanation." The auditor has, however, consulted other accountants, and obtained the ordinary scale of charges, from which he is enabled to report " that considerably less than half the amount claimed by Messrs. Quilter and Co. would afford ample remuneration for their service, supposing that the time claimed had been usefully employed." Upon the claim of Mr. Selfe, who is in receipt of a salary as a police magis trate, the auditor thus remarks:—" The next item is the account of Mr. Selfe, chairman of the commission, amounting to £328. Of this account tke .sum of £l3 is for hotel and travelling expenses; the re mainder is charged as - personal remuneration, at the rate of five guineas a day for 40 days employed in the examination of Acitnesses—viz., 21 days in London and Weedon, 12 at Woolwich, and seven at the Tower, £2lO ; and at the same rate for 20 days employed at home " in perusing and abstracting blue book in July, 1858, in perusing evidence, drafting, revising, and considering report with my fellow commissioners, ie rem inding secretary,iil andacctohue om accountants, £105." Com missioners The e f the auditor,Treasury w that Mr. Selfe has a salary as a police magistrate, omits to state that Air. De w, , who received three guineas per day (exclusive of £B4 Os. 6d. for personal and travelling expenses), is a clerk in the House of Commons, in receipt of a fixed stipend. Messrs. Quilter and Co. have refused to abate .any portion of their account, but have consented fp a competent reference on certain conditions, one of which is that they should be allowed to withdraw the acccuut already furnished in order to submit another at what they term " usual charges," which they state will give a larger claim on the Treasury. The Treasury decline to consent to ally conditions which could have the effect of incurring a charge which they designate as " enormous" and " extravagant." The matter must therefore be arranged by the hon. member for Lambeth in committee of supply.
