War Minister, especially, declares he will retire, 'finless the frontier question is settled to his satis faction. PARIS, MAY 12. •It is reported this afternoon that Garibaldi has succeeded in landing his followers in Sicily, not withstanding the Neapolitan ships of war which were despatched to intercept him. Some persons pretend to give circumstantial details as to the landing, but it does not appear that the Govern ment has as yet received any official account of the fact. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Paris correspondent of the 7 imes (second edition) says :—The Government, or what is called the semi-official press, has received instructions from the proper quarter to deal as little as possible in invective when speaking of GARIBALDI, and of his expedition in aid of what we must, for the pre sent, term the Sicilian insurgents. The Patrie, which, since its last communique from the Minister of the Interior, has suspended a contre cour its flirtations with the Court of Naples, will not soon resume its eulogies of the Neapolitan Sove reign. The word has gone forth from those who direct its opinions, and "to hear is to obey." Some of those journals which, until within the last few days, dealt liberally in vituperation against the celebrated chieftain, and applied to him various harshly -sounding epithets, are gradually calming down. We have as yet only a sort of negative adhesion ; but, if the Home-office so wills it, the man 'who, till Thursday last, was but a common- . Place bucanier, will, probably, be depicted as a modern Bayard, a " chevalier sans pear et sans re- Proehe." The articles kindly prepared at the Bureau de la Presse for the journals will, it appears, be Models of moderation. That the Piedmontese Government were fully aware of the expedi tion, and connived at or encouraged it, no one doubts, and, consequently, no one believes M. Cavour's protestations of innocence. If it be alleged that as the Minister of a constitu tional Government he had no means left to arrest the expedition, it is replied that constitutional hindrances did not stand in his way when the war broke out against Austria. The expedition was precipitated in order that time should not be left to General Lamoriciere to organize the Papal army, and guard the rest of the Roman territory from the threatened dismemberment and certain annexation to Piedmont. I mentioned on Friday a rumour current here that some pourparlers were passing between the English and French Governments rela tive to the Sicilian insurrection. If lam correctly informed, the real object was that an understanding should be come to by both Governments to set their faces against all intervention in the contest,whether coming from Austria, Piedmont, or the Pontifical Government ; and that the Sicilians and Nea politans shall be left to fight out the quarrel by themselves. BOURSE, May 12.—The market continues in a very agitated state, and prices have again declined. Threes opened at 70f 10c, and after for a short time improving to 70f 30c, are now at 69f 774 c. Shares have been less affected than Rente.

Gray, county surveyor, to the Grand Jury of the County of Dublin, dated April, 1860, will be read with interest " The attention of the county surveyors having been called at the last County-at-large Sessions to a bill before Parliament to facilitate internal com munication in Ireland by means of tramways or tramroa.ds,' our opinions were solicited as to what effect the provisions of the bill would produce (if enacted.) upon the existing thoroughfares and the interests of those concerned in their construction, maintenance, and use. Our ideas are given on each clause of the bill seriatim, and which, I sup pose, will be communicated to you by the secretary, and some observations in addition upon the work ing of the system in the United Staten, where it is extensively in use, may be considered desira ble : and I may state some facts respecting the sub ject,, a knowledge of which I acquired during my professional occupation in that country. The tram ways are there almost confined to the cities and large towns, mechanical traction being found cheaper and more suitable on the long Hiles of commutation thro agh the country. The great facilities of start ing and stopping vehicles drawn by horse power on rails, gives such a decided advantage to that mode of conveyance through populous towns, that it was very- extensively adopted, and continues to increase rapidly. I observed that in addition to the great advantage the proprietors have in being able to move a comparatively very great weight at a good speed under complete control, the public enjoyed the benefit of accom modatio:a in the vehicles, were conveyed at very cheap rates, were taken up and let down wherever they desired along the lines, were carried without noise or jolting, and, as compared with any other means of locomotion, were particularly free from accident. "The rails for these conveyances are of a peculiar sonstruction ; so contrived as not to interfere with the ordinary traffic of the streets they traverse, but, on the contrary, afford a surface which is invariably taken advantage of by drivers going in the direc tion of the tramways. The annexed section of rail is that in use in Sixth Avenue,New York, a crowded and fashionable thoroughfare. It is a heavy rail, and one ghat does not interrupt the crossing in any direction or at any angle, of ordinary vehicles, although. there is a double line through the street. There are several other sections quite as free from objection. " The Sixth Avenue Establishment consists so four miles of double track, laid with a 741 b rail. The rolling stock consists of 70 carriages, of about three tons each, worked by 420 horses and mules, the fareu for the whole length being 2}d for adults, and I.ld for children. Notwithstanding, the ownern receive 10 per cent. The number of pas senger 3 travelling on this road, which may be taken as an average, per annum, is five and a-half mil lions ; and the number carried give an idea of the advantage the rest of the street derivesfrom such a multitude being thus conveyed instead of travel ling in ordinary carriages, and adding so much to the wear and tear of its surface. The official statements published in 1858, alluding to five lines of tramways in New York, gives the following re sults : " Second Avenue-8 miles of single track,T h car ried 4,504,645 passengers ; no accident. carried Avenue-61 miles of double track , 7,945,462 passengers; six injured. Sixth Avenue —4 miles of double track, carried 5,612,337 pas sengers ;no accident. Eighth Avenue- 5 miles of double track, carried 6,768,203 passengers, one in jured. Brooklyn-21 miles of double track, car ried 7,705,839 passengers; five injured. Thus the safety of the system to travellers is exemplified by the fact that of 34 millions of people who travelled on these roads during the year, only 12 individuals were injured. "In Philadelphia, where I spent the winter of the year before I became your surveyor, there is a population of over half a million of people; and it is now traversed by 164 miles of tramways. Of the great advantages of these ways public opinion must be strongly impressed, when the inhabitants of such a town, consisting in great part of Quakers, proverbial for prudence and steady calculation, have adopted them to such an extent in the short time of little more than four years since the first were laid down. At the beginning of this year there were in operation in Boston 56, Balti more 50, St. Louis 21, and a proportionate extent in Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukie, and almost every large town in the Union. I have observed that the enormous amount of traffic diverted from the ordi nary ways has produced a proportionate effect of relieving them of so much wear and tear, and feel (Berwick), £l.

THE R OYAL CHARTER.—The following addi tional articles were received from the Royal Charter last Saturday evening :—Another portmanteau, containing three white shirts, one red flann el shirt, one singlet, o coat, one pair of trousers and two vests, one silk hand z ker chief and one silk cravat, something like a Chinese pu towel zle, and a small book of different tales, and a p " Gil art of a which was very rotten ; one white sh irt was marked bert Watson," and on the towel was " H. W." that this observation will be very applicable to the principal thoroughfares in this country in the event of tramways being i n troduced on them, or in their direction, particularly as the bill contains provi sions for enabling farmers and others, who now use the ordinary roads, to use the tramways. I may add that the gradients and curves, which are quite practicable in the formation of these ways, I are such that in the rural districts no unsightly em- st bankments or deep cuttings, with their consequent waste of land, need be apprehended, and that in most cases the grades and curves of the country 81 roads are nearly sufficient." st Messrs. Tait and Frith, the other county sur veyors, reported in favour of the system, all of which we would recommend to the Corporation and their engineer.--Illornisg News. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. $ 2i Ll CITY, Two o'CLocx. The accounts from the various manufacturing dis tricts are of a more satisfactory character. At Bradford there has bean a slight improvement in s t t : the demand for both yarns and piece goods, and at st( Leeds a fair amount of business has been done in st( all descriptions of seasonable goods. At Manches- st; ter only a limited business has been recorded, but s s t: there has been more inquiry for goods suitable to fit( the India markets, and greater animation has been st, apparent in the inquiries for cloths for home use. st The hosiery trade at Leicester has shown increased st, activity, and the operatives generally are well em- st l ployed. In the various hardware districts little st , change of importance has taken place, business at st, Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhamp ton being rather inactive. st In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business was moderately active, and prices were st steady. The sales were about 8,000 bales. The st Railway Share Market continued dull, and quota tions tended downwards. The half-yearly dividend on the Sardinian 5 per 1! Cent.

At the Bank of England on Saturday there were st , no bullion operations of importance. st There is a steady inquiry in the discount market ;4 , for commercial purposes, and money is also re- at ' quired for subscriptions to new undertakings, as st the practice is now invariably adopted of demand ing a deposit with applications for shares. The st' available supplies being abundant, however , the stl tendency of the rates is in the direction of in creased ease, and it is still imagined that a farther sti decline will soon take place. At the Stock Ex change there is a more active demand, owing to the st , large quantity of securities lately purchased by :I: the dealers. st Since Monday last the imports of specie have st been about £517,369, and the exports £172,660, r exclusive of the following shipments direct from a London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last : Cold coin, Hambro' 71 ff Boulogne Malta b'a'rs Boulogne „ „ Cadiz .

In prices, however, no change of importance took place. Grinding and distilling barley realised extreme rates ; but malting barley was dull. Oats, beans, and peas commanded ex treme quotations ; but flour was a slow sale. The continental markets have been less active for wheat, at barely the late advance in the quotations. In spring corn, rather large transactions have taken place on English account. Parcels of wheat and flour continue to change hands in the United States for shipment to England. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market, last week, wore limited. The imports from abroad were confined to 6212 quarters of wheat, 4243 barley, 14,285 oats, 4507 beans, 757 peas, 1598 tares, 28,995 linseed, 6320 rape seed, 20 sundry seeds, 250 sacks and 2500 barrels of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up to our market to-day from Essex were somewhat in excess of Monday last, but those from Kent were very moderate. The demand for both red and white parcels was in a sluggish state. However, good and useful qualities sold at prices equal to this day se'nnight, but low and damp parcels ruled somewhat heavy, and in some instances the quotations ruled the turn in favour of buyers. We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. Owing to the comparatively small stocks in granary, all description were held at very full prices, but the amount of business doing was only moderate, at late quotations, to a slight advance. The inquiry for floating cargoes of grain was by no means active, at about previous currencies. There was very little inquiry for malting barley, but grinding and distilling sorts changed hands freely, and prices were the turn higher. The malt trade ruled inactive at last week's currency The show of oats was rather limited, and sales progressed stead ly at 6d per qr more money. The few beans in the market sold readily at fully last week's currency. Peas changed hands freely at extreme rates. There was only a moderate sale for flour, at late quota tions.

Sales pro gressed steadily, on higher terms. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of boasts, owing to a large increase iu the supply of grass in the pas tures, were limited, but for the most part in fair condition, buyers having made their appearance from the North of England, as well as from Ireland. The beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of fully 2d per 81bs., the best stots and crosses having sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 250 various breeds ; no stock reached us from Ireland, and only two bulls came to hand from Scotland. _ _ For the time of year the show of English sheep was very limited. All breeds commanded a brisk sago, at from 2d to 4d per 81b above last Monday's currency. The ',sot Downs realised 5s dd per Bibs. There were scarcely any woolled sheep on offer. Lambs were in moderate supply, and steady inquiry, at extensive rates. Isle of Wight and Dorset breeds sold at from 5s 8d to 6s 8d ; Down qualities, 6s 8d to 75 4d per 8113 s.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Cliannell and Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH. The trial of Mary Eugenia Plummer, for perjury, was resumed this morning (the sth day). The Court, as on the four preceding days, was very full, and the utmost anxiety was evinced by persons waiting outside to obtain admission. Baron Channell, according to the arrangement, com menced the summing up of the evidencs to the jury. He said the prisoner Mary Eugenia Plummer was charged with wilful and corrupt perjury committed at the trial of the Rev. Mr. Hatch. Considering the importance of the trial he was exceedingly glad that he had postponed the summing up till that morning, because had he not done so he should have been prevented from having the assistance of Mr. Justice Keating, who could not have attended on Saturday. Ho begged the jury to dismiss from their minds all impressions that might have been made, save by the evidence they had heard, and to come to a con clusion solely by the aid of that testimony. The case be fore them was one of the greatest importance to both parties concerned. The position into which Mr. Hatch had been placed by the verdict was such that no surprise ought to be created in consequence of his friends instituting the present inquiry, because it was the only one open to them by the law. The present trial had already lasted four days, and during that time a number of witnesses had been examined, and it was upon the evidence that had, through them, been elicited that he implored them to come to a conclusion un swerved and uninfluenced by any other considerations. He did not wish to suggest to them anything that might be supposed to influence them one way or the other, but he wished to suggest to them the spirit with which they ought to be animated whilst deliberating on their verdict. Tho spirit in which the jury ought to approach the attainment of the end in view was, to see if the prisoner was a person against whom the guilt of committing perjury had been satisfactorily established ; and, in order to arrive at a clear and settled conclusion, the evidence must be their only guide. To come to the conclusion that the girl had committed the crime of perjury, they must arrive at such an opinion without having the slightest doubt of the fact on their minds, and if, after fully considering the evidence, they should be of that opinion, then it would be their duty, however painful, of returning a verdict of guilty. But there must be no doubt existing in their minds, and he could not refrain from saying how fully he acquiesced in the observations made by the learned counsel for the defence, by beseeching them against allowing their judg ments to be warped or their verdict to depend upon anything but that which was fully borne out by the evi dence. He trusted they would be guided by no hypothetical conclusions ; that they would not be swayed by the feeling that the tender age of the child would enable her to outlive any effect that might be produced by a verdict of guilty being pronounced. An adverse verdict was of as great importance to her as it was to Mr. Hatch, whose everything was at stake. He implored them not to be guided by doubtful feelings oue way or the other, but after a calm consideration of the whole facts, to give their opinion without regard to consequences. In such a state of things they must be guided entirely by facts, and the contradictions that had been given to the evidence on the one side or the other rendered the approach to these facts a matter of the utmost difficulty. That there was in the evi dence contradiction against contradiction, no person could deny ; and such being the case, he did not want to express or suggest any theory on which they could bring their minds to a conclusion that perjury had been committed on the one side or the other. They had on one side the direct evidence from Eugenia Plummer, also that of the younger child Stephanie, and also that of the parents, who could have neipossible motive in pressing suck revolting charges against Mr. Hatch ; but if they looked to the other side the charge against Mr. Hatch seemed one of the greatest improbability. It would Rot do to depend upon the oath of one witness against that of another. The law required something more than oath against oath. As far as the prisoner was concerned, her mouth was closed, and to make out a case against her they must be of opinion that she must have sworn that which she knew to be false, and if they could have nothing else but oath against oath then they would not be in a position to pronounce a verdict against the defendant. The charge that had been made out against Mr. Hatch in the former trial appeared most extraordinary, and from the position he held as a clergyman of the Church of England it appeared almost an impossibility. That he, on the very first night the child was brought to his _house, should commence his indecent assaults, was most extraor dinary, and that after that he should night after night re peat the atrocious abominations was scarcely possible. To add to the atrocity of such conduct seemed to all well regulated minds an impossibility, yet it was in evidence that when the young child Stephanie was taken to his house, although sho remained there only ono night, he acted with the same disgusting cruelty towards her. Such facts had been sworn to, and they might or might not be true, but that Gel only know. If the statement of the child was true as to what had taken place in the bed-room, there could not be a doubt but that Mrs. Hatch was an ac complice. It was an unfortunate thing that the position in which Mr. Hatch was placed, as a clergyman, was no as sistance to them, because the annals of that court bore evi dence that crimes of the most revolting and atrocious de scription had been committed by persons holding the same sacred profession. Such a circumstance was one of great and unfeigned regret, yet it was certainly the fact. The case as it at present stood was one of the most difficult description, and would require all their attention ; yet that it would receive their attention he had not the smallest doubt, and to enable them to come to a clear and decided opinion it would be his duty to read the whole of the evi dence over to them, giving such explanations as he pro ceeded as appeared necessary. The learned judge then pro ceeded to read the evidence, commenting upon it as he went on. The first portion read was the statement of the de fendant Eugenia Plummer, given by her at the first trial, which was followed by that given by Mr. Hatch at the present. The Jury then retired, but had not de i vered their verdict when we went to press. A NOVEL OVERTURN.—As one of Bowers' Per severance omnibuses was turning the corner of Charing. cross and Parliament-street this morning, about 9 o'clock, at a rather rapid rate, owing to the hilly character of the road at this spot, the hind wheel of the off-side suddenly flew off, which, after a little vacillation, brough t the vehicle on its side with a fearful crash. Very providentially, the persons on the top and the driver managed to reach the ground without sustaining further injury than a sudden shock at the very unexpected overturn. As may be ima • gined, however, the omnibus was very much damaged ; and, had it been full of persons, very serious, if not fatal, consequences must have ensued.

THE EXPEDITION FROM GENOA. The Marquis of NO RMAN BY said he hail given notice privately with th, - ; noble lord that it was his intention this evening to ask a question relative to the departure of an armed expedition from the waters of Genoa. Ile wished to know whether the Government would lay upon tho table any report they might have received from Sir J. Hudson. The expedition left the pluun of narryircr •-•••• operations in Sicily. lie had no wish to rails the question as to the policy which had been adopted by the Government, but he simply wished for any information that was in the possession of the Government, and which could be given without detriment to the public service. Lord WO DEIIOUSE said there was no objection to lay ing the report that had been received from Sir J. Hudson on the table. lie must however state, for the information of the noble marquis, that some time since a remonstrance had been addressed by this Government to the Government of Piedmont against any such expedition as that which had taken place. NAVAL RESERVES. Lord CHELMSFORD, in the absence of his noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst), moved for certain re t ur ns mentioned by the noble and learned lord in his speech the other evening. He understood there would be no objection to the returns alluded to. The returns were ordered. STATE OF THE NAVY. The Earl of HARD WICKE moved for returns of all the vessels or gunboats below 1,000 tons burden built by contract since 1852, with the contractors' names and residences ; of each vessel, showing the time of year they were built, the price contracted for, together with their present condition and seaworthiness. He said he was induced to move for this return becauce it had been rumoured that a number of small vessels and gunboats, which had been built but a few years ago, were in such a state of decay as to be quite unfit for sea without undergoing a thorough repair. He had been informed that at the time the contractors undertook to perform the best work at the best price the material they had at the time in their possession was quite unfit for use, and was what was commonly called unseasoned. If such a circumstance was within the knowledge of any of the Government officials, then the proceeding with such contracts was highly censurable, and if it was not, and the builders had obtained their contracts without having the materials for performing in their possession, then the responsibility rested upon them, and the fact of publishing their names would enable him to get at the real party in fault. He believed, however, that the party responsible was the surveyor of the navy, who had since the building of those vessels changed his title, and was now what was called the Comptroller of the Navy. Here he began to encounter difficulties, which must always exist where important posts under the Admi ralty were entrusted to civilians. Personally he considered that Sir Baldwin Walker unfit to be surveyor of the navy, as he was ignorant of the principles of construction. He knew there were controlling boards and boards of construction, but they were totally useless, because they had to refer to subordinates to ascertain whether certain work was well performed. The necessity of having a thorough investiga tion into such a question was therefore of the highest im portance. From information which he had received, the whole of the vessels contained in his report were altogether useless. All the sixteen vessels were drawn up on the slips at Portsmouth, and were utterly useless. Not only were they built with green timber, but the mode in which they had been fastened was a perfect fraud, as the square heads of the bolts outside were no evi dence that the bolts really existed at all. (Hear,hear.) (LEFT SPUAKING.) :lOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tius EVENING The SFEIKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Abergavenny Improvement, Consett District Water, Leeds Township, and Sovereign Life Assurance Company. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Banbridge Junction Railway; Belfast and County Down Railway; Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway ; Buildings Improvement Company ; Dublin and Kingstown, and Dublin and Wicklow Railway Companies ; Egleston Roads; Keith and Milltown Railway ; Mersey Docks and Harbour Board ; Upper Mersey Dues, changed from "Upper Mersey Dues, Purchase, and Conservancy." The Monkland Railways Bill and the Symington, Biggar, and Broughton Railway Bill were read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Wine Licences Bill, in favour of an alteration in the Irish Poor Law, in favour of the MetropolitanlGas Bill, against the Highways Bill, &c. SHOT-BOATS, &c. Sir C. NAPIER gave notice that he would ask to-mor row a question relative to the building of the shot-boats as well as the reserve vessels. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. Mr. HENNESSY gave notice that he would . draw the attention of the house to th e money raised for the purpose of carrying out the insurrection in Sicily. NEWSPAPERS CONVEYANCE BILL. In reply to an Hort. ME3IBER, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that in consequence of the illness of Sir Rowland IEII it would not be in the power of the Government to carry out the arrangements proposed in reference to the conveyance of newspapers with respect to whic h some difference of opinion prevailed. Sir Rowland Hill would be absent from his duties for at least six months. Under the circumstances, therefore, he thought it would be most advisable to post pone the bill till next session. He would therefore make a motion to that effect. The motion was agreed to, and the order for the second reading of the bill was discharged. THE COLLECTION, P O PE IRELAND FOR THE . Mr. A. STEUART asked the Chief Secretary for Ire -1 and whether Government had turned their attention to col lections of money being made, there chiefly, as well as in other parts of the empire, for the use of the sovereign of the Papal States ; whether they believed such m i g ht b e use d, or means adopted otherwise, for enlisting subjects of her Ma i jesty for the Finny of that foreign Power ; and whether, if such be illegal or irregular, Government would take mea sures to check any agents in the matter, or to warn those who may enter inte such engagements. Mr. CARDWELL said that according to the Foreign Enlistment Act such enlistment was illegal. The atten tion of the Irish Government had been directed to the sub ject, and they were determined to enforce the law in regard to persons engaged on enlisting for the Papal service. CUSTOMS' ACT. n reply to Mr. DISRAELI, Lord PALMERSTON said that it was not proposed to go into committee on the Customs' Act this night. THE NEW BRONZE PENNY. Mr. BLACK asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the new bronze penny would be ready for issue ; and, if the distribution was to be made in England and Ireland by the national banks of these kingdoms, by what machi nery the distribution would be made in Scotland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that all the arrangements were made for striking the penny coin, which would shortly be issued. The delay that had taken place arose from what might be called the find arts depart ment, but this difficulty was now being surmounted. At first copper coin would be issued only from the Mint, but when the demand occurred for a more extensive issue the Government would then have recourse to the services of contractors. Arrangements would also be made with the Bank of England, and the Banks of Ireland and Scotland, by which they would be rendered centres of distribution for the new coin. With reference to the collection of the old coin, it would not be deemed advisable to have any special machinery, because it was considered there was sufficient inducement held forth to persons to bring in the old coin to the Mint. B,EFRESIIMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENSES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses 12, 13, 14, and 15 were agreed to. On clause 16, Mr. Alderman SALOMONS moved, page 8, line 1, after "Act," insert "and that shall be kept open after nine of the clock in the evening." He explained that the object of his amendment would be to exempt refreshment houses from the visitation of the police unless in cases where they were kept open after nine o'clock. He contended that houses which closed before the latter hour should not be treated in the same way as night houses, from which they were totally different. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he saw no reason why the class of houses in question should be exempted from the same visitation to which public houses were exposed under the existing law. Mr. E. JAMES said that the practical effect of the clause would be to invest the police with a very arbitrary power in respect to those refreshment houses. It was a fact that the police levied black mail at the west end, and on the unfortunate females who frequented them. Mr. HARDY considered that this bill would ultimately have to be revised. After some conversation the amendment was withdrawn, ' and the clause was agreed to. On clause 17, Mr. AYRTON suggested that, according to the bill, there was nothing to define what was the constituent of foreign wine, in order to enable the dealer to discriminate between it and any home compound. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was impossible to give any such definition as the hon. member (Mr. Ayrton) seemed to desire. With re gard to discriminating between what was foreign wine and what was not, it was a mere matter to be determined by taste or chemical skill. What was pro posed by this particular clause was to prohibit persons sell ing wine without a license. The clause was agreed to. The remaining clauses to 20 were also agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) SP ORTING NO TES. BATH CHAPS. People are anticipating the Bath Races with much eager ness, not because the programme is unusually exciting, but because they expect to witness certain hostile and favourable demonstrations respecting the Derby horses. The week's knocking out has aheady commenced ; for this meeting St. Albans has been sent to the rear. Various reports are in circulation to account for his retrogression ; some state that he is lame, and others that the origin of the movement was to be attributed to the rumour of his being sent to Bath. The " Chaps," however, do not seem inclined to take great liberties with him. At my present writing both The Wizard and Umpire are firm, and I have heard offers made to bet even money that the American colt starts first favourite. By the way, it appears to me somewhat ominous that his backers occasionally suggest that their bets about him should be entered first past the post. Great talk is being made about high Treason, and indications aro given that all faith in Tom Bowline is not destroyed. These matters, however, I shall have a better opportunity of discussing when the knocking out movements at Bath arc concluded. .he courteous secretary is all activity and anxiety to render the meeting as attractive and as pleasant as possible. Already the city of old fogies is filling with visitors, and a most prosperous gathering may be anticipated. A discus sion of the probabilities will not detain the reader long, for really the events to be decided possess little interest in themselves. For the Lansdowne Trial Stakes my fancy points to Rara Avis and Simple Simon. It is said that St. Albans is sure to run for the Biennial Stakes, and, despite his recent hard work, I do not think that his trip will hurt him. Horror is amongst the nominations, and should he, Brother to Rainbow, Seclusion, and Cape Flyaway enter the lists, the result of the race must pro duce a complete revolution in the Derby betting. If St. Albans starts he will meet a very dangerous opponent in Cape Flyaway, whose success will, I am certain, cause Tom Bowline to take a prominent position in the Derby betting. The Biennial Stakes is sure to produce a hot favourite, but I have no fancy for the race. So much uncertainly 4n ife rncillt. flint T shall mnrnly . 4, " - my determination to stand azainst the favourite at starting. For the Bath Handicap I shall select Maid of Orleans and Jenny Longlegs. For the Kelston Stakes The Rover ought to vin, but in his absence I shall look to Mr. F. Robinson's trusted animal, probably Acton. Either Ancient Briton or Pomona ought to win the County Members' Plato. For the Badmintaca Stakes I shall place faith in Ariadne and Avalanche, in the full expectation that the "Ayes will have it." The Somersetshiro Stakes has not occasioned much speculation, and it is likely to bring out a very small field. Calculating upon the absence of St. Albans, I shall assign the foremost places to Claire and Timandra. Big Ben will bear away the bell for the "Weston Stakes ; and Informer may carry off the Dyrham Park Handicap. Bath, Monday Morning. A FRESH MAN. DEAIII OF A VETERAN. We have been so accustomed of late to read of the exploits of our soldiers in the Crimea and India that a little relief to the strain may be afforded by re cording the services of a thorough good soldier of the great war, of which we are beginning fast to lose sight. The following is a statement of distin guished past service which will favourably contrast with any record of individual services of the pre sent day. John Rowley, a well-known sergeant of the Royal Artillery, enlisted into that regiment at a time (1803) when the nation was in alarm about the threatened invasion of Napoleon. In August, 1808, gunner Rowley, belonging to the famed Major Lawson's company, commenced his active career in the Peninsula, and left it at the peace in 1814. During that stormy period, he fought in fifteen battles and sieges, besides numerous lesser affairs, and was twice wounded. The mention of the con tests which he bore a part will at -once show the hard nature of his service, his fatigues, his dangers and privations. He was at Rolica, Vimiera, Oporto, Talavera, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, Burgos, Vittoria, St. Sebastian, Nevelle, and the sortie from Bayonne ; in all of which he conducted himself as a firm and steady artillerist, combining energy with courage, and a faithful discharge of duty with every other military excellence. For these services he received the war medal and eleven clasps! perhaps the greatest num ber awarded to any soldier in the British army. Twice ho served at Gibraltar, and the rest of his time was passed at Guernsey and at Woolwich, where he was discharged in 1827. Subsequently he was em ployed for more than a year as a clerk in the military repository at Woolwich ; whence he was removed to Portsmouth, where he filled the office of steward of the Ordnance Hospital for 22 years. In this way he was close on 50 years in the service of his country. He died at Woolwich on the 30th of April, 1860, in his 75th year. His excellent widow, now suffering from paralysis, was a daughter of Sergeant-Major Collins, of the Irish Artillery, who died at the good old age of 90. For nearly 23 years she was matron and stewardess of the Ordnance Hospital at Portsmouth, and i s ha pp ily in receipt of ls. a-day pension for her approved services, " wi ll keep the wolf Gazette. w fr h om ieh t , h i e f d i o t o d r. o „_ no , t 4 h r i , e n g y ealiszcie, mazy FUNDS IN TUE BAN i l l 27 UT i.nty Y COURT .—.The un claimed dividend account, which is constituted by the in vestment of moneys paid in as unclaimed lt„h cee o u dividends n ta transfer veryandof above large r g,OO un divided surplus by assignees under old bankruptcies, has ,604.

The fact was, that in the winter months children are covered over by the bed clothes, the effect of which was, that they inhaled their own breath, which was almost instant death. Whereas, in the summer months, the bed-clothes are flung off the mouths of infants, who are thus allowed to breathe freely. In the former case the various breaths poisoned the atmosphere, which did not take place in the latter case. He had often made similar remarks, but which were not attended to.
