THE LEDBURY MURDER. The Worcester Zerald bas been informed that at the recent trial of Jones at Hereford, ten of the jury were originally for finding him and only two in his favour. The same paper says that Jones's prostration was feigned to some considerable extent. He has left Hereford for Bristol. _ Advice' from Odessa state that the grain market has become very active, and that about 91,000 quarters of wheat, rye, Indian corn, and barley had just been taken for exportation at improved prices. The wheat will be directed chiefly to the Medit e r ranea n, the Indian corn to this coun try and the corn to the Continent. THE TRIAL OF DR. SMETHIIRST.—It has been 4 .,.rraliged that the trial of Dr. Smethurst for the murder of Isabella Bankes, at Richmond, shall be resumed at the Central Criminal Court on Monday next.

Mur chieson, of London, has started on Liberal prin . ciples as a candidate for the vacant representation of Bodmm. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT. TUESDAY. — A telegram received here yesterday reports the market at Calcutta as being rather lower in price for cloth and yarns, in consequence of the heavy arrivals. This news has some what affected our market to-day for India goods, to the ...extent only of keeping quotatio a ns t their previous Yarns for China and Germany, say in 20's awl 30's, ar . e is good request, at a slight advance on last Friday's prices, but the business is checked to some extent by the required advance. The market generally is very firm, with an up ward tendency in yarns and most sorts of cloth. Liberal party of Norwich have proceeded to the Treasury for the purpose of procuring a commission to inquire into the electoral corruption prevalent in the city, of which a kaleidoscopic glimpse was revealed before a select committee of the House of Commons a f e w days si n ce. The depute • tion did not see a higher functionary than Mr. Brand, who pointed out that some difficulty existed in regard to the issue of a commission, as the late election committee did not • report a prevalence of extensive corruption in the consti tuency; so that a comm i ss i on cou ld not be granted without a special Act o f P ar li ament. Th e hon. gent l eman a l so directed attention to the possible consequences of such an inquiry. The deputation, in reply, stated that nothing could be worse than th e present state of things. The result of the interview was that Mr. Brand promised to communi cate to Lord Palmerston and the Government the views of the deputation, who afterw ar d s saw M r . Bright on the same subject. The latter hon. gentleman expressed his determi nation to insi s t on a full inquiry, and eventually it was de termined that no attempt should be made to obtain new writs till the evidence taken before the select committee had been printed for the consideration of the house. It is not very likely that a special Act of Parliament can be obtained during the brief fag end of the present session, especially as the Government evidently oare little or no thing about the matter. Next year the interest of the sub ject will ha ve evapora t e d, an d pro b a b ly it would not then be revived.

This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls, affirmed by the Lords Justices, allowing the respon dent a double legacy of £5,000 each under his father's will and codicils. Their lordships were unanimously of opinion that the respondent was not entitled to a double legacy of £5,000, but a single legacy of £5,000 only under his father's will. Their lordships altered the decision of the Court below to this extent, and remitted the case to the Court below to declare accordingly. SIR WILLIAM A. CLAVERIN&, BART., 1. ELLISON AND OTHERS. This is an appeal from a decree of the Lords' Justices affirming an order made in the administration suit insti tuted by the appellant against the respondent under the will of the late George Clavering, Esq., of Green Croft, in the county of Durham, dated Jan. 9, 793. The testator, after giving certain legacies, bequeathed the whole of his property to trustees to execute the purposes of his will ; and he declared that if his son, or his wife, or any of their children became Catholics, or resided or were educated abroad, they would forfeit all bequests under his will. The appellant is the youngest son of his son's marriage, born in 1800, and he alleges that his brothers and sisters have for feited all right under the will by education and residence abroad. Vice-Chancellor Kindersley decreed that the appellant, as the representative of his two sisters, was entitled to one third only of the estate as tenant in common, and that the appellant was entitled to one-fourth part of the testator's personal estate. Their lordships were unanimonsly of opinion that there was no forfeiture of the bequests in favour of the appellants, brothers and sisters, on the ground of residence abroad or becoming Roman Catholics. It appeared they were edu cated according to the rites of the Church of England and received an English education. Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chancellor and Lords Justices, and dismissed the appeal with costs. T Hilt D EDIT I ON. SUN OFFICE, Seven o Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at four o'clock. _ . . . . ---- - Viscount DUNGANNON presented two petitions, one from the College of Surgeons of London, and the other from the College of Surgeons of Ireland, praying that the Medical Acts Amendment Bill, which stood for second reading, might not be further proceeded with this session. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time :—Consoli dated Fund (Appropriation), Stamp Duties, Customs (No. 2), East India Loan, Militia Pay, Reserve Volunteer Force of Seamen, Government of India Act Amendment, Reserve Force, Stock in Trade Exemption, Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Continuance, Corrupt Practices Prevention Act Continuance, Poor Law Boards (Payment of Debts), Weights and Measures Act Amendment, Turnpike Act Continuance, Dublin Police, and Charitable and Provident Societies. MEDICAL ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, Viscount DUNGANNON trusted that the further pro gress of the bill would be postponed. Earl GRANVILLE said he had received a notice from Lord Cranworth, stating that he had some objection to the bill, and there appeared to be some weight in those objec tions. He would take the second reading of the bill pro for ma this evening and state to-morrow what cou rse would be adopted with respect to it. The bill was then read a second time. MILITIA LAWS AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of the Earl of RIPON, this bill passed through committee, and was reported without amend ments. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed:— Coinage, Probate and Letters of Administration (Ireland), Police (Counties and Boroughs), and Turnpike Trusts Ar rangement. PETITIONS. The Bishop of OXFORD presented petitions against any alteration in the marriage law which would legalise the marriage with a deceased wife's sister ; against the aboli tion of church-rates without an equivalent, from Marl. borough, Shaftesbury, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Kidderminster, and a number of other places MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had also received a number of petitions against any alteration in the law of marriage, and he felt his duty to say that his opinion upon that subject remained unaltered and unchanged, and in the event of any such measure being introduced next session with such an object, it would meet with his most determined opposition. The Bishop of OXFORD said he had heard with great pleasure the announcement just made by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack. Some bills having been brought up from the Commons and read a first time, Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tnis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Admiral Sir Michael Seymour took the oaths and his seat for Devonport. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Bridport Railway, Central Wales Rail way, Coln Valley and Halstead Railway, Falkirk Police and Improvement, Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, Mid- Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway, North Staf fordshire Railway, Stockton and Darlington Railway, Wells and Fakenham Railway, West London Railway, Ken sington Station, and North and South London Junction Railway, Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Rochdale and Royton Branches), and Midland (Erewash Valley) Bills. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Dickinson's Divorce (India), Sir John Ramsden's Estate, Thames Watermen and Lightermen. The Pneumatic Despatch Company Bill (Lords) was considered. SALE .OF GAS BILL. Several petitions were presented in favour of this bill. OATHS, &c. Mr. W. EWART moved an address for returns showing what oaths are required as a qualification in order to the under-mentioned persons being allowed to practise their respective professions, viz. :—Doctors, advocates, proctors of civil law, queen's counsel, sergeants at law, barristers, attornies, notaries, physicians, schoolmasters, and ushers ; and, showing also under what authority such oaths are ad ministered ; distinguishing such as are administered in a court of law from such as are administered by any society or body of persons especially authorised in that behalf. — Agreed to. JOHNSTON V. JOHNSTON. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., resumed and concluded his argu ment for the appellant. The Lord-Advocate was heard in reply. This is an appeal from a decision of the Court of Session in Scotland, remitting the cause to the Jury Court, and settling the issues to be tried by the jury. An objection was taken to the competency of the appeal. Their lordships were unanimously of opinion that the in terlocutor of the Court of Session, settling the issues in a cause, was appealable under the statute 1850, as much as any other interlocutor of that Court. Their lordships al lowed the appeal, and remitted the case to the Court of Ses sion to settle the issues according to the opinion of the ma jority of the court, reserving to the Court to dispose of the question of costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF ROBBERY AND RECEIVING BRASS Es- CVTCHEONS.—Three boys, named George Williams, Joshua Coleman, and Robert Stringer, were charged with stealing a quantity of brass escutcheons, and Julia Bishop and Fanny Bishop, mother and daughter, keepers of a marine store shop, in Titchfield-street, were charged with receiving the same. _ _ of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the receivers. From the evidence of John Brown, 128 C, it appeared that about nine the previous night he was in South Molton street, and saw the three boys easing the different doors in the street, and having got in a doorway he saw the three bop go to the door of Mr. Gardener, and after stopping a few minutes hastily leave. He pursued them into New Bond-street, and on the way Coleman threw away a hand kerchief containing seven brass escutcheons taken from different doors. He took Solomon, and the others were subsequently taken. On asking Solomon what he was going to do with them, he replied, " Sell 'em." He after wards went to the shop of the females, and after a little hesitation the daughter was acknowledged to have pur chased some escutcheons on a former occasion. Stringer had told him he sold five for a penny. Mr. Beadon said he would advise the females to exercise more caution and not buy such things of boys like those at the bar. _ _ _ Mr. Lewis said his clients had answered the questions of the officer readily. Mr. Beadon said he should discharge the females and remand the boys for a week. THE WHISKY TRADE.-IMPORTANT CASE. At the Mayor's Court was tried yesterday, and not finished until a late hour, Christie v. Baum. Plaintiff is a whisky merchant at Liverpool, and defendant is a money changer of Lombard-street. Mr. H. James, instructed by Mr. Stubbs, of Moorgate-street, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Needham for the defendant. According to the evidence of plaintiff and his witnesses, it appeared that in November of last year he, being in Lon don upon the criminal prosecution of Rikey and Thurgood (in the last whisky fraud case), was introduced to a person named Fisse. Fisse wished to purchase £4OO worth of whisky, and gave as reference the defeudant and a person named Brelly, who was guarantee for £3OO. Plaintiff sup plied the whisky in due course. In January of the present year he was surprised to find the whisky in the possession of defendant. An effort was made to restrain the defen dant from selling, but unsuccessfully. The present action was brought to recover £26, the value of the casks. Mr. Perry, from Mr. Stubbs, deposed that he gave de fendant notice that plaintiff expected to have the casks within the usual time allowed in the trade. Mr. Christie said the whisky was sold for home con• sumption. For the defence it was urged that plaintiff had no inte rest iri the casks to enable him to sue. It was also sworn that the whisky was sold for exportation, and if that were so the casks were included—the rule in the trade was not to charge for casks supplied for exportation. His Honour (the Common Sergeant) was proceeding to sum up when the jury stopped him, and at onto found for plaintiff. Upon the question of law a special case is to be laid be fore his Honour.

A RAILWAY TRAIN IN A BOG.—A singular acci dent occurred to a railway train on the Whitby branch of the North-Eastern line on Saturday last, about two miles from Pickering, at a place called Fen Bogs. The line at this place is carried across an extensive swamp on piles, and as the noon train from Whitby was passing the place the engine ran off the line, and plunged overhead into the bog, pulling the train after i t. The train was a very heavy One , having many first-class passengers, and the scene which ensued may be more readily imagined than described. The engine -driver and the stoker were both buried in the bog along with the engine, but were extricated by the passen gers. They were both injured, but not seriously. The passengers were thrown about in a strange mann er, but beyond several cuts and bruises no furth er injury was in flicted. The accident is ascribed to the heat of the sun having caused the wooden framework on which the rails are laid to twist, and raise 'up the line, so as to break its continuity, and thus the train was thrown off its course and ran into the bog. _ . The concessionaries of the new Ruisian bank to be established in St. Petersburg, with a capital of £8,000,000 —Baron Haber, M. Hanseman, and Baron Mulkens—are persons largely connected with the financial operations of the continent, especially those which arose during the speculative fame of the t'aris Credit Mobilier. They will, therefore, be likely, with the a ss i s t ance o f th e C o urt party, considerably to promote the ardour for Bourse transactions, which has lately become a strong feature at the Russian capital. The movement is favourable to the probability of peace being preserved in Europe during the next few months, since it would hardly have been undertaken unless with the belief that there would be time to realize good profits. Baron Haber, manager of the Bank of Darmstadt, has much influence, and was formerly established at Stut gardt. He is connected with many German enterprises, including the Cr6dit Mobilier in Vienna, and is presumed to be the Baron Haber who during the Spanish war was much engaged in affording assistance to Don Carlos. M. Hanseman is a director of the Discount Bank in Berlin — an establishment which usually takes a part in public loans. w. E. Frank 3 and Sons' Monthly Circular states :—" We have to report a very inactive tea market since our last, not standing the advices from China chew decreased shipments of 18,000,0001 b., as compared with the previous season. The attention of the trade was a good deal diverted by the duty question, which resulted, as we anticipated, in no alteration. Holders continue firm, and sales show rather higher prices, but the trade buy very cautiously. The stock of really useful qualities of Black is rapidly decreasing, and before the arri vals of new season in any quantity, will be very limited. Unless subsequent advices bring very unexpected news, we cannot but anticipate a very firm and imp r oving market. PONTEFRACT ELECTION. Mr. BRIGHT rnoVei fora select committee to inquire into the allegations contained in the petition of Hugh C. E. Childers, Esq., presented (9th August) ; and that the said committee da consist of the following members : Mr. Walpole, Mr. Crawford (Ayr), Captain Jervis, Lord Robert Clinton, Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. G. C. Glyn. Mr. OVEREND said it was with no small degree of mortification and humiliation that he felt called upon in addressing the house for the first time, to vindicate his character from charges made against him the day preced ing. He had no reason to complain of the conduct of Mr. Childers, who brought the case openly before the house, and gave him an opportunity of making an explanation. He was also obliged to the hon. member .for Birmingham, in moving for a select committee which would fully investi gate the whole affair, and from that investigation he had nothing to fear. He had not received any notice whatever of this motion being brought forward until yes terday evening, when ho received a telegram at Lancaster, that a notice of such a motion had been given. Ho objected strongly to a term used by the hon. member for Birming ham, which only the strongest proof of culpability could justify, and which had never been previously used in con nection with his name—he meant the word "fraud." (Hear.) It was true that he had been returned by a majority of only ten, and that a petition was presented, imputing to him all the offences usual in such cases ; but he pledged his honour as a gentleman that he had not been guilty of bribery him self, or that he was aware it was committed by his agents. He gave instructions to his agents to defend his return, and then heiwent on a circuit,and had no communication on the subject until some time afterwards, when he received a telegram while he was engaged in a nisi prius trial at York, which was as follows :—" L offers to withdraw the record on my agreeing with him to refer the late action" (alluding to the election) " to a member of the house of our side, of high character, both parties to be bound by his de cision." He consulted with some of his friends, and they cable to the conclusion that the reference proposed would be a breach of the privileges of the house, but that is was, in fact, a dignified withdrawal by Mr. Childers of bis oppo sition to his election. He then telegraphed to his agent in London to the effect that he placed himself in his hands, and requesting him to do the best he could. [Here the hon. and learned member read a correspondence which took place between him and his agents, in which one of the latter described the reference as merely illusory ? He acted throughout under the convic tion that the reference was thus correctly described, and he never considered that his seat was endangered by that reference, for he denied most solemnly that he consented to it pur et ample. He concluded by disclaiming the slightest intention of acting in any way other than the most honourable and straightforward. Mr. BRIGHT said it was not his intention to appear as an accuser of the hon. And learned member for Devonport. Mr. Childers had requested him to present the petition, and Mr. Cairless, the solicitor of Mr. Overend, had notice last Friday of his intention to present the petition. With respect to the term eomplained of by the hon. and learned member, what he did say was, that Mr. Childers considered that he had been, what he would say from the want of a better word, " defrauded" of his seat. It was no secret that Lord March was the member selected as a referee, and that he has doubts as to his being justified in undertaking to arbitrate, and that the hon. and learned member did not consent to any other member of the house being applied to. (Hear.) In his opinion, the hon. and learned member was erroneous in assuming that his seat was not in jeopardy by the pro posed inquiry before the referee, because the only object of the inquiry must have been with reference to the validity of the return of the hon. and learned member. He con sidered, from the statements of the hon. and learned mem ber, that Mr. Rose, the Parliamentary agent, had acted very improperly. After sane remarks from Sir W. JOLLIFFE, Mr. DISRAELI stated that he considered the vindi cation of the hon. and learned 'member for Devonport com plete, and defended the conduct of Mr. Rose, who was an honourable member of the body to which he belonged. Under,the circumstances, however, he would vote for the motion. Sir G. GREY made a few observations in the course of which he • said, that the petition contained an allegation to the effect that the agent of the sitting member had made a pecuniary offer, in order to induce Mr. Childers to with draw the petition, a charge so serious that it should be in vestigated The motion was then agreed to and the committee ap pointed seriatim. NEW MEMBER. Mr. DUNN took the oaths and his seat for Dartmouth. THE VICE-PRESIDENT TRADE .F O THE BOARD OF Mr. DISRAELI inquired if it was true that the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade had been offered to an hon. member o f that house; and, if so, whether the right hon. gentleman who held it at present had accepted the office in India ? Mr. M. GIBSON said he was not aware of any Bush offer being made, and with reference to the latter right hon. gentleman alluded to, he had no information further than that he was considering whether or not he would ac oept the appo i n t me nt which had been offered to him. -OUTRAGES AT TRAVANCORE. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India, whether her Majesty's Government had received any official information. as to the gross outrages committed in the early part of the year in the Province of Travancore by the natives of the So odra caste upon the Shanars and others of like caste, and had any authentic intelligence been received as to the discontinuance of such outrages ; and if her Majesty's Govvrnment had sent any instructions to the GOVarllOr of Madras',, or any other Indian authori ties, in relation to this c ase.. Sir C. WOOD said that Ne had received official advices which stated that SAthe whole question was settled. LE OF OAS BILL. The house wetLiinCocommittee on this bill. On the 4th clause an amend.ment was moved to the effect that the appointment of local iirspectors in boroughs, under the Act, should be vested in, the Recorder instead of the town council, and some discuszMon ensued. Ultimately the amendment was withdrawn. Lord HENLEY moved an addition to the clause, to the effect that the inspectors of gas should not be selected from the police force, which was negativ,td without a division, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 5, Mr. V. SCULLY drew attention to the inefficient supply of gas in Ireland, and alluded to this county of Clare in which only two towns were lighted 'with gas, and consi dered the bill, in its present form, imiPPlicable to Ireland as imposing too heavy an expense on Elie counties in that country. Mr. DEASEY agreed with the boa. an d learned gentle _ man. Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Mr. Sherida n, Mr. Crawford, and other hon. members made some remarks. The clause wa s agreed to with the understanding that certain alteration would to be introduced to meet the peculiar circumstances of Ireland. The remaining clauses, with some amendments, were agreed to, and the house resumed. EUROPEAN TROOPS (INDIA) BILL. On the motion for the consideration of this bill, as amended, Sir C. WOOD said that he wished to redeem the pledge he had given to enter into an. explanation of the circum • stances that rendered the present bill necessary. It appeared that up to 1799 the troops raised in this country for service in India were not under military discipline on their passage to that country. It was found necessary that there should be an alteration in that particular. In 1853 an ap plication was made to the Earl of Dalhousie, the Governor- General of India, to increase the number of troops in India, and which amounted only to 12,000. When the mutiny broke out the necessity became apparent for an increase of the troops for India, the maximum of which was placed at 24,000, which had been exceeded. It was in order to legalise that excess that the present bill was introduced, and it in no way prejudged the question of the organisation of the In dian army. With reference to the investigation that took place on this subject, the commission were divided as to the troops that should be sent to India, the Ministry considering they should be composed of regiments of the line, and the majority being of opinion that troops of a mixed character and fitted for general service were preferable. As regarded the mutineers, he did not consider that in the recent out break they had any serious ground of complaint, though there were some regulations in reference to them which were objectionable, and which therefore ought to be remedied. Some of these mutineers were recruits who had been re cently sent out to India, and he strongly objected to the practice of sending out raw recruits to be trained under the burning sun of India. He contended that circumstances justified the introduction of the bill, and that it was not proposed to interfere in the slightest degree with any mat ter other than what the bill specified. Gen. PEEL said that the bill was in direct opposition to the recommendation of the royal commission, who objected to an increase in the number of local European troops. He complained that the bill was pressed forward with im proper haste, and at a period of the session when its pro visions could not be fully considered. Sir DE LACY EVANS contended that the soldiers who had exhibited disaffection had not been properly treated, because they had been led to believe they were entitled to discharge, which, however, was refuse d them. He ap proved of the bill, and considered that a local army in India' was indispensable. The local army was very effective, and the officers in the higher and the lower ranks were not inferior to those in the Queen's regiments. Mr. S. HERBERT said that the bill did not really pro pose to make any addition to the Indian army, but merely to legalise the increase that had taken place under the Go vernment of which the hon. and gallant gentleman (General Peel) was a member. After a few remarks from Col. NORTH, Col. DUNNE said that in considering the question of the number of local troops in India, they should take care that they did not interfere with recruiting for the Queen's regiments. Mr. AYRTON explained that the statements which he made' yesterday in reference to the officering of troops in India not being efficient, in consequence of want of qua lification on the part of officers, was based upon the state ments of some of the most eminent officers who had served in India. Sir F. SMITH supported the bill, and considered that the only question with reference to maintaining a Euro pean force in India was as to the number. In his opinion the arguments against the bill were not sustained. Col. SYKES entirely concurred in the necessity of a local European force. With regard to the evidence given before the commission the opinions of those who were practically acquainted with the subject was to the same effect, and those who differed from them might be logicly right, but they were technically wrong. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that it was the legislature in this country which led to the recent mutiny in India. General UPTON considered that there should be only one army. Mr. VANSITTART thought that the officers for the Indian army should be appointed by the Horse Guard 4, and not by the Indian Government, who had already too much patronage. The motion was then agreed to, and the bill was read a third tinie and passed. MARRIAGE (LISBON) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CHARITABLE TRUSTS ACTS CONTINUANCE The committal of this bill was postponed until to-morrow. Mr. MASSEY, in reply to Mr NEWDEGATE, said that the bill would stand first on the orders of the day for to morrow, and that it would be taken at the meeting of the house at 2 o'clock. RAILWAY COMPANIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. FIREWORKS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The order for going into committee on this bill was dis charged. WAKEFIELD ELECTION. Mr. HODGSON moved an address to her Majesty, pray ing for the appointment of Commissioners to make inquiry as to whether or not corrupt practices prevailed at the last election for the borough of Wakefield. After some remarks from Mr. SpaiFht, Mr. E. James, Mr. Brady, Mr. Malins, and Mr. Caird, the motion wag agreed to. PACKET AND TELEGRAPH CONTRACTS. Mr. COBDEN, the chairman of the committee appointed to inquire into the subject of packet and telegraph contracts, brought up the report, which was ordered to be printed. The house adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock till two o'clock to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY and Mr. WILLIAMS made some inquiries. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the bill was drawn in nr ecisely the same form as that of last year. If there had' been any misappropriation of the money voted for the expon.ses of the Duke of Wellington's funeral it must have arisen ihrough mistake. The bill was then read a thisd time and passed. • , STAMP DUTI.3S BILL. On the motion for the third reaiing of this bill, Mr. HANKEY drew attention tb . the inequalities in the imposition of the stamp duties in reg.ird to probate, which operated injuriously, and wero calculate:l to lead to fraud. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there was no doubt some alterations might be made with benefit in these duties, but inequalities were unavoidable, and the general question involved was too large to be discussed at this period cif the session. The bill was then read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS (No. 2) BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. On the motion for considering this bill as amended, Mr. CRAWFORD said he formerly objected to this country guaranteeing a loan for India, and he still enter tained that objection. He considered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would practically fail if he endeavoured to obtain £5,000,000 on debentures ; but he thought that money might be borrowed for the purposes of India, which might be repaid in easy instalments by that country. He hoped Parliament would next session consider this impor tant subject. Mr. VANSITTART wished to be informed if the hon. member for Devonport had accepted the office of resident Chancellor of the Exchequer in India. The powers of bor rowing in India were completely exhausted, and consider ing the sums for different purposes of late years, he thought they were acting in an unstatesmanlike manner in cavil ling about the money requisite for the necessities of India. Mr. AYRTON said that Government had taken a most extraordinary view of the relations of India to this country, and be strongly deprecated the course adopted in maintain ing abstract and useless principles of p olitical econom y to Inia which cost this country £10,000,000 in one year. He considered they should settle the civil condition of India before they proceeded to deal with the finances of that country. He denounced strongly the centralising prin ciple that prevailed with Whig Governments in respect to India, to which he traced the late mutiny, and which was calculated to perpetuate discontent. He was also strongly opposed to the establishment of what was called a local European army in India, which tended to excite sedition and weaken the resources both of India and England. It appeared that Government had lost sight of the cost of maintaining a European army in India, which might be estimated at £lOO a year per man, and that expense was in curred merely to support that description of rule in India which had already lasted too long. He alluded to the evidence of Col. Green, an experienced officer, to show that economy might be effected if they sent out only those officers who possessed those qualities which were calculated to secure the respect •of the soldiers under their command in India. Col. SYKES said there was not the slightest foundation for what the hon. and learned member for the Tower Ham lets (Mr. Ayrton) had said relative to the army in India. He said it was proposed to raise £5,000,000, not for the benefit of India, but to spend in that country. There was no doubt the greatest distrust in the money market existed with reference to these Indian loans. In proof of that he would draw attention to the following figures. The 4 per cent. loan of India was at 22 discount, the 5 per cent. at ll discount, although guaranteed for 15 years, and the 5f per cent., although guaran teed for 20 years, was also at a discount. He contended that the distrust which existed with reference to Indian finance was produced by that administration, particularly by the bill of 1854, which destroyed the confidence of the natives, and the system in regard to dealing with finance in India. That country should be regarded not as a colony but a part of England, and all that was required to restore public confidence was the adoption of the two talismanic words " Imperial guarantee," in regard to raising any money that might be required. Mr. GLYN suggested the introductionof a clause in the bill to enable the present holders of debentures to convert the same from time to time into the new stock. That course would not only relieve the debenture market, but be pro ductive of other advantages, and if not adopted this session he hoped that next year it would be carried out. tatemen as Sir E. objectedCOLEßßOoKEfora ctl D oaathresadoptiont of an to ini- perial guarantee, and called evonport was to othe position which the hon. me mber for c cupy in India. thought they should Sir H.

He strongly urged on the Government the necessity for a reduction of the army in India and other retrenchments. Sir C. WOOD said with reference to the question of an imperial guarantee, it was deserving of consideration, but the Government was not prepared to give any such gua rantee at present. With regard to the appointment alluded to, he hoped his hon. friend the member for De vonport would be induced to.accept it. Mr. VANSITTART—Has he accepted it? Sir C. WOOD—He has not.

On the motion that the bill do pass, Mr. NEWDEGATE drew attention to some irregularity in the votes, which prevented them knowing a ccurately when they would be required • and he wished to know what course would be adopted relative to the Charitable Trusts Acts Continuance Bill, which stood on the order of the day for second reading. The SPEAKER having explaine d th,lt when the house met before two o'clock it adjourned tall six o'clock. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he would move Cle second read. ing of the bill at the proper time. • . The house resumed at six o'clock. BEVERLEY ELECTION. Mr. COBBETT brought up the report of the Bevs?.ley Election Committee, unseating Mr. Ralph Walters, andile daring Mr. Henry Edwards to be duly elected. The e 5, m mittee further reported that Mr. Walters was by his agents guilty of bribery at the last election, and that a practice ;ap peared to prevail in the borough of employing voters as messengers. It was proved to the committee that at. the last election bribery was systematically carried on by two persons named Daniel Boyce and Robert Taylor, nd the committee recommended that those persons 'should be prosecuted. They further recommended that no ikew writ should issue for the borough until the evidence'taken before the committee was printed. - NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. JOHN LocHl3, for next session, to move for a seAect committee to inquire whether the conditions under wtich the artificers of the Land Transport Corps were enlistedFand discharged had been fulfilled, and into the truth of the alle gations contained in their petition to the house. Mr. BRADY, for next sessio n , t o call attention to the eipe • ration of the edical Registration Act. Sir DE L. EvaNs, for next sessiOn, to move an adilt-ess to the Crown, praying her Majesty to direct an inquiry to take place into the expediency of abolishing the sale-and purchase of commissions in the army. t Lord NAAS, for next session, to move for leave to bring in a bill for the better registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland. THE ANNUITY TAX. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Edinburgh clergy were compelling payment of the annuity tax by imprisonment ? Sir G. LEWIS had received no information on the subject. MASTERS AND OPERATIVES. Mr. MACKINNON moved for leave to bring in a bill to establish equitable councils of conciliation to adjust differ ences between masters and operatives. He made the mo • tion at this late period of the session because he was anxious to have the bill printed, to afford members and the public in general an opportunity of considering its provisionsdur ing the recess, with a view to legislating upon the subject early next session. Two years ago it was thought advis able that a committee should be appointed to take the .sub ject into consideration, and he had the honour of being ap pointed chairman of the committee. The matter was then most diligently investigated ; many witnesses were called before the committee, consisting of both masters and ope ratives. The committee had no interest in the question beyond arriving at the truth, and doing justice to all par ties. They examined a great number of masters, some of whom were favourable, and others unfavourable to the establishment of equitable councils ; but the preponderance of their evidence was rather against than in favour of such councils. The committee also examined many operatives of different classes ; men of great intelligence and great information, who had made themselves thoroughly ac quainted with the subject. Like the masters, they enter tained various opinions upon it, but the majority of them were in favour of having these councils, and they pointed out that, except in the metropolis, the present law for settling disputes between masters and workmen was wholly inoperative. The committee also received 'some valuable reports on the subject from France and Belgium. These reports showed that equitable councils had been com pletely successful in those countries. It appeared from the French report that between 1850 and 1851 the number of disputes which arose in France between masters and ope ratives was 28,000, and of these 26,800 were settled by counciie of conciliation. Now what would , have been the result of such a law as this if it had been passed two years ago ? Why it would have averted the present strike in the building trade. He was perfectly satisfied that had equita ble councils been in existence there would have been no strike. The dispute would have been settled without re course to such an extreme measure. The hon. member concluded by moving for leave to bring in the bill. Agreed to. ' ARMY PRESBYTERIAN CHAPLAINS. AOn the motion of Mr. ARNOTT an address was ordered fur the return of correspondence which took place during the year 1858, between the Moderator of the General As- Seinbly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, or any mem ber of that church, and the Secretary of State for War, or any other official persons, regarding the appointment of ministers of that church to the office of chaplain or assis tant chaplain of her Majesty's forces. PRIVATE BILLS. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that standing order No. 34 be amended by inserting after the words "adjoining there to " these words, " or in case of any place within the limits of the metropolis, as defined by the act 18 and 19 'Vic., c. 120, intituled, An Act for the better Local Management of the Metropolis,' with the clerk of the vestry of each parish in schedule A, and with the clerk of the district board of parishes, in schedule B of the said act."—Agreed to. CASE OF PRIVATE JAMES CAULFIELD. Mr. J. LOCKE rose to call the attention of the house to the case of enlistment, in her Majesty's 96th Regiment of Foot, of the late Private Jas. Caulfield, who, when. under 15 years of age, was enlisted in that regiment at Wes tmin ster, on the 23d of Sept., 1857 ; and, his discharge b aving been refused, he died from the rigours of discipline at Park hurst Hospital on the 21st of July, 1858. The hon. mem ber in making the motion said that, but for the lateness of the session, he would have asked for a select come 'Wee. He was induced to take up the matter in consequence► of the petition of John Caulfield, .the father of the deceased, and the representations of several respectable individualls, who took an interest in the matter: It appeared that the de ceased James Caulfield, being under lb years of of had been enlisted by a Sergeant Thomas. The SPEAKER interrupted the hon. member. He could not make a statement unless he intended to conclude with a motion. Mr: LOCKE would then move for a select committee. The petitioner complained that his son, being wider 15 years of age, had been enlisted by Sergeant Thomas for the 96th Regiment of Foot, the latter making to the magistrate a rexesentation that the youth was 18 years of age, under whiff' age his enlistment would have been illegal. The mo ther was subsequently prevented by Sergeant Thomas from proving her son's real age, and Sergeant Thomas w-as also accused of-having represented to the boy that he would have Is. 3d. a day and free rations. Young Caulfield was sent to the regiment in the Isle of Wight, where the 'labour of a private soldier proved too much for his tenda • age. He got ill and his father applied for his discharge, but was put off on various grounds, and in the meantime the boy, who had been removed to Parkhurst, died. _ _ An HON. MEMBER moved that the house be counted, and 40 members not being present, the house adjourned. READING .RACES.—(This Day.) (B ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ABBEY STAKES.

CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat here to-day was very limited. Owing to the change in the weather there was an improved demand for all kinds, and, in some instances, selected qualities were the turn higher than on Monday. There was a fair inquiry for foreign wheat, and fine dry samples were mostly held for more money. The barley trade was inactive, yet prices were supported. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Oats, the supply of which was good, were a slow sale, but not cheaper. In the value of beans, peas, and flour no change took place.

It seems, according to the York news papers, that the violence of Atkinson and some of his other conduct was assumed for a purpose. One of the local journals says :—" Prior to his removal Atkinson made some attempts at suicide, but we are now in a posi tion to state that these attempts were mere faints, got up to serve a purpose with an ingenuity very in consistent with the mental abilities of an imbecile. On the 6th of May Atkinson volunteered a statement to aZnalloswelf prisoner that the attempts he had made peell:':dantigie prison a t te would were done with no other view than I a i g t e h re moved to St. George's Hospital, which On the occasion of officials to believe he was insane, thhaettaonhteicimp lead to comparative ease and luxu ry . himselfdlvn he feigned being sense-. stated that when he was cuto his attempting to hang i his cell he distinctly proposed that he should tie himself was removed.

These particulars we have from authentic depositions, and they clearly prove that Atkinson had a method in his madness, and that by his perseverance he has accomplished the great obj ect , he had determined to attain — hie removal to as &ilium.
