The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have been exceedingly quiet, and the few transactions entered into in most of the leading staples have been at a slight decline on former rates. At the public sales of tea, however, prices were well maintained, par ticularly for the better qualities of green. Sugar has been exceedingly dull, and in some instances a decline of 6d. to ls. per cwt. has taken place in values. The Refined Market has also exhibited less activity, and sales have been pressed at loWer quotations. Coffee, owing to the diminished stocks and the limited supplies, has been in fair demand, and full rates have been obtained, especially for the better qualities of Plantation Ceylon. In rice no transactions of any importance have been reported, and Apices have been at rather easier quo tations. Saltpetre continues inactive, but in the medium qualities a moderate business has been reported, at about late values. The tallow market has exhibited rather more animation, the demand for home consumption having improved, and prices have an upward tendency ; P.Y.C., on the spot and for forward delivery, being now quoted 525. to 525. 3d. per cwt. An active inquiry for discount is still ex perienced both in Lombard-street and the Bank of England. It is generally supposed that this increased activity will continue, owing to the nego tiation of new loans, and the promotion of other descriptions of enterprise, which must absorb a large aggregate amount of capital. The lowest quotation now charged for negotiating first class bills is 21- per cent., and bankers and others are allowing an advanced rate of interest to their depositors. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and 6,000 bales sold at 1-16 d. per lb. cheaper for all descriptions. In the Railway Share Market the transactions were again very limited, and prices continued to decline. About £20,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The gold by the Anglesey, viz., £98,800, was delivered, and taken for transmission to the Continent. The City of Manchester has been announced this morning from New York, with £40,000 ; and the Baron Osy, from Antwerp, with £29,000, making a total of £69,000. The arrival has just been announced of the Morning Light from Melbourne with 17,329 ounces of gold valued at £69,316. A further improvement has taken place in the market for public securities, and a better feeling appears to prevail. The advices from the Paris Bourse are certainly of a less gloomy de scription, hence the advancing tendency now exhibited. The rise, as compared with the closing prices yesterday, is only -} per cent., kit limited as it may appear, it has altered the general complexion of the market. Consols, for money, are 95a- 1, and for the account 9511 s. Exchequer Bills are marked 335. to 365. prem. ; India Loan Debentures are flat, at 981 ; and the Bonds at 15s. to 18s. prem. Thirty years' Annuities are 15-16. A rather large amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices in most in stances are firmly supported, Turkish 6 per Cents. being 921 to 921; ditto New Loan, 781 to 79; and the 4 per Cents. are steady, at 103, Mexican at 19-4, and Peruvian 3 per Cents. at 74 1; Spanish 3 per Cents. are firm, at 44-3, Dutch 4 per Cents. at 101, Russian 41 per Cents.. at 1001 and 101, and Brazi lian 5 per Cents. at 102 i 103, but the 41 per Cents. are fiat, at 941, Chilian 6 per Cents, at 1021.

SHARE THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 18 5 ). LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly. JUDGMENT.-ADAMS V. FENWICK. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The question for decision in this case is, whether certain calls, which were made on some new shares in the Union Bank of Aus tralia, were payable out of the property specifically be queathed by the testatrix, or payable by the specific legatees of these shares, or payable out of the general or residuary funds of the estate. It appeared that the directors of the bank had agreed to extend the capital of the bank to about one million, in shares of £25 each. About 150 of these new shares were allotted to the testatrix, and she paid up the calls till her death. And in her will and codi cils she directed her executors to continue the payments afterwards. She divided the shares into specific propor tions, and bequeathed them to legatees 9zommatum. And the question raised was whether the executors or legatees should pay the calls upon these shares, and receive the dividends due thereon. His Honour detailed very minutely the proceedings of the directors at their several meetings, and the resolutions come to respecting the issue of the new shares ; and after considering several clauses of the bequest in the testa tor's will, and referring to the case of Armstrong and Peacock as a case in point, came to the conclusion that the calls or payment of the instalments upon the new shares, of which due notice was given, ought to be paid by the legatees, and should not come out of any general or residuary estate of the testatrix, and declared accordingly. His Honour directed the costs to be taxed as between party and party and solicitor and client, and to bring the matter again before the Court. His Honour requested affidavits of the married lady legatees in Calcutta in England to be produced, to show that they had not disposed of any of their shares by marriage settle ments or otherwise; the minutes to be arraigned by the registrar, with liberty to apply. WHITECHAPEL .COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Manning.) CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS-SINGULAR CASE-COHEN V. ANSELL. This was an action to recover £4 alleged to have been lent to defendant by plaintiff. Mr. Young appeared for the plaintiff, late collector of the Relief for the Aged and Destitute Charitable Institution, and Mr. Warrand, of Basinghall-street, for the defendant, the president and founder of the same institution. The peculiar features of this case are that the, plaintiff declares he lent defendant £4 out of the funds in his hands belonging to the charity. It was about the 13th or 14th of October last, and plaintiff had since made good the sum from his own funds. In cross-examination by Mr. Warrand, he admitted that he had still in his possession the books and money of the charity, and that he was dismissed. At two committee meetings he was present with defendant, but when he was about to ask for the £4 he was cried down. A Mr. Levi was present, who upon being called, said he remembered the money being lent. Mr. Warrand said this was one of tke most scandalous attempts ever brought under the notice of his Honour. The facts were that the plaintiff was so lax in his returns of the collected moneys that defendant, as president, called upon him to insist upon his paying in all moneys. That was in October, and then plaintiff handed over £4, which sum defendant had paid to the treasurer in due course. In consequence of the dissatisfaction expressed at_plaintiff's conduct, he had been dismissed, and hence the present action. To support this statement, defendant and the treasurer were called, and both distinctly swore that such was the case. The treasurer said that Mr. Ansell had in October and November respectively handed him two sums of £4 each as moneys received from plaintiff, being collections. Upon this plaintiff produced receipts for £8 odd and £7 odd in October and November ; and the treasurer said he (plain tiff) had paid those amounts at the dates of the receipts, less the £4 paid by defendant. His Honour said there was oath against oath, and he did not see any evidence t o p rove th a t defendant borrowed the money. Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS JAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY OF A MERCHANT'S WATCH.—Anne Clark, a prostitute, was charged with stealing a gold watch of the value of £lO, in a very daring manner, from the per son of Thomas Bold, of the Conservative Club, and Can ning -street, Liverpool. The prosecutor said he was about to enter the house where he was at present staying, in King-street, St. James's, when the prisoner came up to him and accosted him, and thrust herself into the doorway, pressing him to take her into the house with him. He refused, and at that moment felt a twitch at his watch chain, and immediately observed her pass something to a man, who directly started off. He then, to detain her, pushed her into the passage and gave an alarm. He then felt in his pocket, and his watch was gone, the chain hanging down. He taxed her with stealing it, but she denied having done James, 17 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody. She denied having taken the watch, and at the station on searching her it was not found. Mr. Inspector Steer, of the C division, asked for a re mand as she was known to the police. Mr. Bingham said if she thought proper to plead guilty In would deal with the case at once. The prisoner said the prosecutor had been speaking to two other females. She would not plead guilty as she was innocent. The prisoner was then committed for trial, the prosecutor rather reluctantly being bound over to prosecute, THAMES, JEALOUSY AND AYiE2:I ---------- —Jane Prince, aged 27, and described as a bookbinder, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with being disorderly in the house of George Bindley, a vocalist, of No. 13, Vine-court, White chapel, and' attempting to inflict grovious bodily harm upon him with a razor. 'lt appeared from the evidence that the parties had lived together for some time, and they parted about five months ago. The prisoner had since attempted to renew the acquaintance, but the complainant had refused any further intercourse with her. She had repeatedly met him, and attempted to force him to live with her again, but in vain. She met him once with a female and vowed revenge. Last Tuesday they met, and she attempted to strike him with a tea cup, on which he struck her with his fist on the face, and, to use her own phrase, " smashed it." Yesterday evening the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. William Hims, a cutler, in High street, Whitechapel, and bought a new razor, for which she gave him ls. Mr. Hims observed it was rather unusual for a young woman to buy razors. She smiled and said nothing. The prisoner then repaired to the house of her former paramour, and knocked at the door. He lifted up the window and said he would have nothing to do with her. She continued knocking at the door for some time, and at last Bradley sent for a police-constable to take her away. The prisoner rushed into the house as the man opened the door; attacked Bradley with the razor, and declared she vVould murder him. He seized the razor with his hands and took it from her, but not before his hands were severely cut. At the station-house she told Inspector Dendy that she bought the razor for the purpose of murdering Bradley, and that she would at one time or other effect her purpose. This morning she told Anderson, a police-constable, that she wished she had done for Bradley. The prisoner said in her defence that she was drinking yesterday, and got excited. Mr. Yardley—But you were not excited this morning. John Montague, a photographic artist, said the prisoner was his sister-in-law, and that a man, with-whom she for merly cohabited, who was a singer at the'Phcenix Concert room, allowed her 3s. per week, and Bradley persuaded her to leave him. Bradley denied this statement. lie never had 3s. per week with her, and when her former paramour claimed her, he (Bradley) persuaded her to return to him. He did not wish to punish the prisoner —only to have protection. Mr. Yardley said inquiries were to be made about the prisoner, and remanded her until to-morrow. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Our market to-day was again scantily supplied with Eng. lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. Owing to the thin attendance of millers, the demand ruled very inactive; but, compared with Monday, no quotable change took place in prices. Rather over 4,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand this week. For all descriptions we had a dull inquiry on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain sold ,at full prices. There was a good demand for malting barley at full quo tations ; but grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little attention. Malt was in fair request, and Monday's prices were well supported, Oats were steady in value; but the transactions in beans, peas, and flour were limited, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES IN ENGZAND. From a conversation with Signor Raffaele Settembrini, the brave and affectionate son who, at the risk of his own liberty, has achieved with such remarkable adroitness and resolution the deliverance of his father and of his country men, we learn some particulars of the affair which have not yet been published. It appears that this young officer, who after serving a short time in the Sardinian navy, obtained an appointment on board the Prince Albert, one of the new Galway and American line of steampackets, was indebted to Messrs. Bake, Adams, and Co., the chief proprietors of the North African Steamboat Company's vessels, for per mission to go to Cadiz in the character of mate of their steamer, the Warrior, for the purpose of seeing whether he could do anything for his father, since it had been reported in all the newspapers that the Neapolitan government steamers, the Stromboli and the Ettore Fieramosca, were expected to bring the prisoners to the port of Cadiz prepara tory to their shipment for America. Signor Raffaele Set tembrini expresses his gratitude to Messrs. Bake, Adams, and Co., as well as to Captain Cooper, the commander of the Warrior, for the kind assistance he received from them. His own intention at that time was simply to en deavour to effect the escape of his father in the harbour of Cadiz. His precise age we do not know, but he looks not more than one or two and twenty, and since he had not seen his father during a period of ten years' iuprisonment, the loving recollections of childhood must have remained without addition in his mind. Whilst the venerated patriot and senator has lain immured in the chill dungeon of Santo Stefano, buried in a seagirt rock of the Mediterranean, and shut out from the hope and life of the world under a sen tence of perpetual incarceration, the gallant son has trodden the decks of free Sardinia, or of free Britain, cherishing but two desires—the first being to liberate his father, and the second, that he might one day be enabled to contribute some effort for the liberation of his country. With a noble and characteristic modesty, he will not hear a word of praise or compliment upon what he has done, and only expresses regret that he was not able to find an earlier opportunity of contriving his father's escape from the prison. To return to our narrative, accompanied by several of the officers and crew of the Warrior, and dressed in his proper uniform, he rowed towards the Stromboli, the Neapolitan frigate, in a boat displaying the British Union Jack at its stern, and having been received with dole naval honours by the Nea politan officers, who ordered the guard to present arms to him, supposing that he was an officer of our Royal Navy; he introduced himself in his true name, as the son of the prisoner, Luigi Settembrini, and begged permission to have a farewell interview with his aged father previous to the departure of the latter for transatlantic shores. The request appeared so reasonable, and the young man's official uni form was so imposing that the captain of the frigate Strom boli did not hesitate to comply, and sent to the other Nea politan Government vessel, the Eltore Fieramosca, which lay close by, ordering the prisoner Settembrini to come on boardthe Stromboli, and meet his son. We can imagine the emotions with which they met upon the deck of the Strom boli, and poured out, with all the fervour of the Italian na ture, that affection which so many years of torture, loneli ness, and despair had not extinguished in the elder man, and which the vicissitudes of education and enterprise, in the opening of an active career, had not tempted the youth to forget. But their interview was strictly watched. It took place under the eye of the Neapolitan commander, and not a word of any plan for the future could be exchanged. Raf faele Settembrini took a final leave of his father, and re ,turned to the Warrior, which was on the point of starting, in order to continue her trip to Mogador, and the other North African ports. He had hoped to be able to get a boat alongside the Neapolitan steamer in the darkness of the night, and help his father to escape over the side. This was his original design, but so vigilant a watch was kept in both the Neapolitan ships, that it was impossible for any boat to approach unobserved. He promptly altered his plan. Quit ting the English steamer, which presently left Cadiz with out him—but whilst the Neapolitans believed him also to have gone—he landed and proceeded to make his arrange ments in the city. He had got an introduction to Mr. Ben jamin Oliveira, our well-known countryman, who received him most kindly and rendered him the greatest service. It was understood by that time that the American clipper David Stewart was chartered by the Neapolitan Govern ment to transport the 66 prisoners to New York—a transac tion of the illegality of which, to say nothing of its mean ness, we apprehend there cannot be any doubt—seeing that they were not shipped as free passengers, but as convicts or slaves, on board a vessel of the United States, under sen tence of a foreign tribunal. However, there was an honour able Spanish gentleman at Cadiz, the Count di Casabrunette, who had some interest with the consignees to whom the David Stewart had been sent, and he and Mr. Oliveira, en tering into young Settembrini's dutiful wish to accompany his father, used their influence to have him taken by Capt. Prentiss, of the David Stewart, as a seafaring lad, a native of Cuba, who having been left at some European port, wanting to work his passage over to New York, in order that he might afterwards get to his home at Havannah. This was allowed as a favour, since there were no other passengers taken on board the American clipper, except the Neapolitan prisoners themselves. The adventurous youth, disguised in the rough clothes of a common shipboy, joined the crew of the clipper, a mixed crew of Yankees, Irishmen, and negroes : he had one narrow escape from discovery when the captain of the Ettore Fieramosca, who had previously seen him dressed in an English uniform, came on board the David Stewart, and stood close to him, but without recognising him. If ha had been detected when on board the Neapolitan frigate, he would assuredly have been claimed as a subject of King Bombe, and carried off to pine away and rot in some of the notorious and horrible caverns where, loaded with irons, and starved with the privation of food and daylight, the unhappy victims of that almost incredible cruelty are doomed to endure a livingdeath. But at last the clipper, with her noble freight of patient and suffering witnesses to the cause of right and truth, towed by the Neapolitan steamer, stood out to sea. It would be an error to suppose that, in what was subsequently done to change the destination of the vessel, Settembrini and his comrades had no other object than to spare themselves the fatigue and loss of time of a voy age to and fro across the Atlantic. It is true that those who might survive on the arrival of the David Stewart at New York would have been exempt from personal restraint after their landing, and free to come to Liverpool, or to Havre, or to Genoa, if they conid obtain the means of doing so ; but we aro assured that some of them were already in so shattered and exhausted a condition, having been sud denly removed from their loathsome cells, with constitutions enfeebled by their long and painful confinement, and ex posed to sickness in an ill-found vessel upon a rough and stormy sea, that it is probable they could not have been landed at New York alive. At any rate, the discomforts and perils of this " middle passage," and the uncertainty of their future fate at a distance from Europe, were well to be spared ; and it was for the sake of something more than bravado that they determined to avail themselves of the gallantry of young Settembrini, and to get to England at once. For the first two days he did his work with the other seamen, and was treated as an extra hand—a stray Cuban, making his way home from Spain ; but when the clipper had got 200 miles to the west of Cape St. Vincent, and the Ettore Fieramosca, had cast her off and turned about again, Raffaele Settembrini put on his uniform, and walked up to Capt. Prentiss with that written protest signed by all the Neapolitans which has been published. Quietly and without any open demonstration they had imparted to each other, as soon as their enemy disappeared below the horizon, the plan which had been determined upon. They now burst forth into joyful acclamations, and hailed the young hero as their deliverer, embracing him, and kissing his hand, as it is the matter of southern men sometimes to do ; and even the sailors, inspired by this contagious e'xcite meat, came thronging around him, cheering him altogether lustily, and one by one begging his pardon for any little incivility or practical joke which might have passed between them whilst they only regarded him as a poor messmate thrown by chance amongst them. The skipper, however, like a cold-blooded, impassive Yankee as he was, remained unmoved ; and whereas the most despised " nigger" in his motley crew did not appear insensible to the sentiments 9f compassion and humanity, upon such an occasion, or refrain from expressing hi s pl eas ure at thi s admirable surprise, in the calculating mind of Capt. Prentiss those considerations were outweighed by the almighty dollar, and it was not until Settembrini invoked that potent American idol, that he could prevail to alter the captain's purpose. Yet it should be understood that of the sum of 8,600 dollars, which was the amount of the freight, two •thirds had actually been paid in advance, besides which a present of 400 dollars had been made to Capt. Prentiss by the commanders of the Neapolitan ships of war. However, on the first day, the demand of the Neapolitans that they should be conveyed to the nearest English port, though expressed in the most courteous and respectful manner, was obstinately refused. Next day, the 21st of February, they renewed their impor tunities, and gave him notice of a regular suit and action for damages; on account of their illegal detention, to be in stituted by every individual of the 66 Neapolitans before the competent courts of the State of New York. This argument it was that made Capt. Prentiss think better of it. No violence was attempted or threatened ; however justifiable, in case of ext reme neeess it y, suc h conduct might have been, none of the elder prisoners, and certainly not Signor Luigi Settembrini, would have sanctioned it. Capt. Prentiss wanted to put them off by promising to land them at Madeira, but th e y were reso l u t e, an d wou ld go their own way. At last he " caved in," if we may quote a phrase of his own people, and turned the David Stewart about for Cork, after calling his crew aft, and explaining to them that the gentlemen obliged him to set aside his contract. We should add that nothing could be more sulky and disagree able than his behaviour during the rest of his voyage. Though not the slightest attempt was ever made by Set tambrini or the other Italians to interfere with his com mand of the ship, though they treated him with the utmost civility and complaisance, offering him their cigars and in viting him to friendly conversation—he would scarcely vouchsafe a word to any of them, and by supplying them with filthy water and with the nastiest and mo s t unwhole some food he aggravated the hardships and inconvenience of their voyage, until after 14 days' tedious experience they at length reached Queenstown, and got ashore in safety to receive the congratulations of all Ireland, England, and Scotland, as an earnest of their happy restor a ti on to their native land. Tr THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock, BOROUGH HOP. There is a good consumptive and speculative demand for all new hops, and prices have an upward tendency. Fine yearlings are held for more money. In other kinds of hops very little is doing at late rates : Mid and East Kent pockets Bos to 140 s per cwt. Weald of Kent do 62s to 76s ~ Sussex do 6os to 70s „ COLONIAL. TEA.—No sales of importance have been reported in the private market, and prices are steady. At public sale about 3,627 packages were sold out of 10,600 o ff ere d, th e grea t er part of which brought about former rates. SUGAR.—The market continues very inactive, and prices show a downward tendency. West India descriptions have declined about 6d to is per cwt., and in the refined market lower rates are current for all kinds. COFFEE. —The inquiry for Plantation Ceylon has been steady, and owing to the shortness of stocks and the absence of supplies, prices have been exceedingly firm. Native Ceylon has been in good demand at full rates, but for other descriptions there was only a limited inquiry. RlCE.—There has been scarcely any business reported, and prices are unaltered. Rum.—The market has been rather active, and in good Demerara a fair amount of business has been done at full rates. SALTPETRE--There has been very little business re ported, and the market is inactive, good middling qualities realising about previous rates.

The Bishop of CORK presented a petition from the Ro man Catholic and other clergymen in his diocese in favour of united educati e t. The Earl of A INGDON presented a petition from the Protestant Diss ters of Victoria Chapel, Windsor,praying for a measure declaring Dissenters eligible for the manage ment of trust funds. Earl GREY presented several petitions praying for in quiry into certain recent circumstances that had taken place at Hong Kong. THE IRISH MAGISTRACY. In reply to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, The Earl of DONOUGHMORE said the letter of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland,addressel Jg the Lieutenants of counties relative to the revision of tilt Toot list of Irish ma gistrates was merely intended to obtain information as to the efficiency of the magistracy in general. After a short conversation, in which the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of St. Germans, and Lord St. Leo nards took part, the subject dropped. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The Bishop of DOWN and CONNOR presented a peti tion, asking her Majesty's Government if it was intended, during the present session, to introduce any measure with reference to education in Ireland ? The Earl of DERBY said the subject of education in Ireland was under the consideration of the Government, but it was one surrounded with much difficulty. He could not promise that any measure would be introduced during the present session, but he begged to assure the right rev. prelate that the subject was one that would not be lost sight of. THE TRADING COMPANIES WINDING-UP ACT. This bill passed through committee and was reported without amendments. PRIVATE BILLS. Lord REDESDALE moved that no private bill brought from the House of Commons should be read a second time after Tuesday, the 12th day of July next ; that no bill confirming any provisional order of the Board of Health, or authorising any enclosure of lands under special report of the Enclosure Commissioners for England and Wales, or for confirming any scheme of the Charity Commis sioners for England and Wales, shall be read a. second time after Tuesday, the 12th day of July next : That when a bill shall have passed this house with amendments these orders shall not apply to any new bill sent up from the House of Commons which the chairman of committees shall report to the house is substantially the same as the bill so amended.—Agreed to. THE WATER-COLOUR EXHIBITION. Lord ST. LEONARDS asked her Majesty's Govern ment if any attention had been paid to the claims of the Water-Colour Society for a portion of Burling ton House ? The artists in water colours had up to the present time received no assistance from the country, and as so much had been done for the painters in oil, he thought the claims of the painters ought not to be disregarded. The Earl of DERBY was quite ready to admit the ser vices rendered to the arts by the Society of Painters in Water Colours. He thought it very undesirable that that society should be placed in a sort of rivalry with the Royal Academy. As to the application for grant ing a portion of Burlington House, he must remind the house of the very many claims that had been put forward by different learned and scientific bodies for accommodation in that building. With respect to the negotiations on foot he trusted that some formal arrangemet would shortly be come to. ESTATES IN OUDE. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose to move for a copy of the answer of the Governor •General of India to the secret despatches of April 19, 18,58, with the reply of the Secretary of State, and the subsequent correspondence on the subject. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Public Offices Extension Bill and Court of Probate, &c. (Acquisition of Site) Bill were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The following bills were considered, and ordered for third reading :—Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Chester Junction Railway; and Caledonian Railway. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented against the Government Reform Bill ; for the adoption of a comprehensive measure of re form ; for the continuance of the hop duties ; in favour of the establishment of " intermediate schools" in Ireland ; for the repeal of the duty on paper ; for the admission of Dissenters to the same privileges as the members of the Church of England enjoyed in reference to endowed schools; by Mr. Berkeley, from Bristol, denouncing in the strongest terms the Government measure of reform, as a mockery, and praying for the adoption of the ballot and extension of suffrage ; by Mr. Bright, to the same effect, in favour of the Superannuation Bill, PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. - - - Mr. ROEBUCK said he would move that the Irmo, at its rising, do adjourn till Monday. He did so formally, in order to enable him to make some observations and as these observations might lead to a die-, •ussion, to have the right of reply. He might assume that a great number of members of that house were very anxious that the question of Parliamentary reform should be settled, a proposition which he did not think very wild or unsupported by facts. It appeared to him that the course which the house was called on to pursue with re ference to this question would lead to a very different result. The noble lord the member for the City of London has put a resolution on the paper of the house for discussion, which, if adopted, would have the effect of negativing the bill introduced by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and would result in no Reform Bill being passed during the present session, because they had been told that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer proposed to dissolve the house in the event of his bill being unsuccessful. (Cries of No, no, and Hear, hear.) The consequence would be that the ques tion of reform would be postponed until next year, and they would have to go through the same proceedings that had taken place during the present session. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the hon. member was not in order in speaking on a subject which stood for discussion for another night. The SPEAKER said he understood the hon. member intended to put a question to the noble lord the member for the City of London, and therefore he did not consider he was out of order. How far the gentleman's discretion extended, it would be for the house to decide. _ _ Mr. ROEBUCK thanked the hon. member (Mr. Bon verie) for his kindness in interrupting him. (Laughter.) He repeated that the course proposed by the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) would have the effect of postponing re form until an indefinite period. He would suggest to the noble lord to adopt the course which he pursued last ses sion with reference to the India Bill, by proposing a series of resolutions that would not throw out . the measure, but lead to the formation of one that would be de sirable. The noble lord stated that in following that course he was actuated by an interest for the welfare of India, and he hoped he would have the interest of this country so much at heart as to adopt a similar course with regard to the question of reform, and enlarge his resolutions into a series that would firm the foundation of a new Reform Bill that would prove satisfactory. He would now ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if the course which he re commended were adopted, whether her Majesty's govern ment would be prepared to forego their bill, and to bring in another, framed on the resolutions of the noble lord. He now addressed himself to the hon. gentleman behind him, and particularly to the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright) ; and he would ask them what would be the result if the noble lord's proposi tion were carried. If that proposition were agreed to, it would lead to an alliance between the noble lord (Lord J. Russell), and the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) who was dismissed last session from office, and the return of whom and his party to office would be considered a great calamity by the honourable gentle men opposite. (Laughter) Considering the dangerous state of the * continent at the present time, any dissolution of Parliament would be attended, in all probability, with the greatest disaster. The people of the continent did not understand the people of this country, and any dissolution of Parliament would induce a belief that public opinion was dislocated, and they must remember that it was English opinion which kept the world at peace. (Hear, hear.) He entreated the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) not to be influenced by any party feeling or any motive of personal ambition in the course he would adopt on the pre sent occasion. Mr. COX expressed a hope that the noble lord the mem ber for the City of London would introduce vote by ballot in his resolutions as an indispensable requisite in any measure of Parliamentary reform. After some explanations from My. T. DUNCOMBE and other hon. members with respect to the discussion which took place relative to the appointments in the Huntingdon magistracy, Lord J. RUSSELL said it vould be completely out of order to enter into a discussion on the present question when the subject must be debated next Monday. Moreover, he considered that question far too grave to be discussed on a motion for adjournment. He thought the Government had taken the right course in bringing forward a bill on the subject of the representation of the people of this country. He thought ho would be able to show the house that he was not wrong in bringing for ward his resolutions. With regard to the ballot, when that question was before the house, he would be prepared to vote, and, if necessary, to address the house on it, but he did not think that he should be hampered with any promise in reference to the subject at present. He took that opportu n ity of putting th e ques ti o n of which he had given notice, as to wh e th er it was the in tention of the Government to mov e for any vote of thanks to the Governor-General, Lord Clyde, and other officials, whose services had been so i n fluential in suppres sing the mutiny in India. He strongly condemned the despatch that had been addressed by the Government t o Lord Canning. Mr. KINNAIRD said he hoped Sir J. L awrence would receive some marks of distinction for the valuable services he had rendered in India. Lord STANLEY said that the Government had recog nised the services of Sir J. Lawrence. It was the inten tion of the Government to confer marks of distinction on the officials alluded to. _ _ Lord PALMERSTON also condemned the :despatch in question.
