Lord REDESDALE, as Deputy-Speaker of the House ol Lords, owing to the absence of the Lord Chancellor, took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE INCOME TAX IN INDIA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to put a ques tion to the noble duke asto a statement that had appeared in the newspapers with respect to the financial scheme about to be introduced into India. He wished to ask whether the Government would be enabled to place the details of the plan on the table of the house, and also whether the Government had given their sanction and approval to the same. He was extremely anxious about the subject, because there was some mistake among private soldiers as to whether they would become subject to the pro posed income-tax. The Duke of ARGYLL said if such a scheme had been proposed his noble friend the Secretary of State for India was not aware of it when he had last seen him. The noble earl had given no notice of his question, therefore he was unprepared to give him any answer in an official manner ; but he would beg noble lords to abstain from all observa tions prejudicial to the scheme till the Government had given an accurate account of the subject. PUBLIC BUSINESS. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said it would be no doubt acceptable if he stated the names of the bills he had alluded to when he made that statement relative to the Easter re cess. The bills alluded to were the Income-tax Bill and the Stamp Bill, both of which it was desirable should re ceive the Royal assent previous to the recess. With re spect to three other bills—viz., the Customs'Bill,the Paper Duty Bill, and the Wine Licenses Bill, they would not be gone on with until after the holidays. The Earl of DERBY said he was glad it was not in tended to proceed with the repeal of the paper duty before Easter. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. The Earl of D.BRBY said he wished to ask the noble duke whether there was ,any truth in the report that the Govern ment intended to witiAraw the Army Estimates at present before Parliament, with a view of increasing them ? The Duke of NEWCATLE said the rumour referred to by the noble earl (the _Bari of Derby) was true to a certain extent. It was the intention of the Go dernment to withdraw the pre.! , ent Army Estimates, not with a view of increasing them, b ut merely to reprint them. The estimates had been formed :upon the Imposition that only a certain number of troops would return from In dia, but a larger number having returned it became neces sary to make other arrangements. It was to make ce r t a i n corrections, and not to make any increase, that rendered it necessary to withdraw the estimates, to make provision to meet the altered corrections. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Leicester Gas Bill was read a second time. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Matlock Water, East Indian Coal Company, and Silver dale and Newcastle Railway. CHARITABLE USES BILL Lord CRAN WORTH said owing to domestic bereave ment, the Lord Chancellor was prevented being present that evening. Under such circumstances, therefore, he .should withdraw hi s mo ti on w ith re f erenc e to this bill until Monday, the 23d of April. (1. - EFT SITTING.)

NESS AND BENALy FISERIES BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. C. BRUCE moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. He contended that the bill would be an unjustifiable infringement of the chartered rights of private individuals. After a protracted discussion the house divided, and th e numbers were — For the third reading l4B Against it —5 Majority The bill was accordingly read a third time and passed.

EAST INDIA CURRENCY. Mr. HANIJE y moved for a copy of all correspondence relating to the establishment of a paper currency in India and of a m inute from the Right Hon. Ja mes Wil son, re spotting a gold or double standard.—Ordered. ARMY, &c. Gen. PEEL moved for returns of British regimenta establishments for 1860-61, of all ranks ; of effectives 1 s day of April, 1860, of all ranks ; o f I n di an esta blishmenti for 1860-61; of effectives, Ist day of April, 1860 ; of tota ;Amber of embodied militia, Ist April, 1860, of all rankti , and of any transfers that may have been made, or of which notice has beengiven, from Indian establishment to British not shown in estimates. Mr. S. HERBERT said that the forces in the British ser vice were placed in a more effective position than it was expected to be some time back. As the financial year would exuire on Saturday next, he hoped the house would vote him the amount he would require on account on Wednesday next, and he promised that when the estimates were reprinted he would afford hon. members an opportunity of discussing the subject referred to in the motion of the hon. and gallant member. He had no objection to the returns, with the exception of the last paragraph. After a few words from Gen. PEEL and Mr. DIsnAELI, The returns, with the omission of the paragraph in ques tion, were then ordered. ' REMOVAL OF IRISII PAUPERS. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of the Government to intro. duce any measure, in the present session, with a view of putting an end to, or at least of materially mitigating, the hardships now entailed on Irish born poor, by their removal to Ireland by the parochial authorities of England, Wales, and Scotland ? Mr. CARD WELL said that the evils of the present sys tem were universally admitted, and the Poor-law Board had taken steps to redress them, but without success. It was unnecessary for him to state what these steps were, but he begged to inform the hon. member that the Poor-law Board intended to appoint a committee to inquire into this nulject, and would adopt the necessary measures as soon as they were in possession of the report of that committee. MAGISTERIAL APPOINTMENT IN AUSTRALIA. Mr. HOPE asked the Secretary for the Colonies whether he was in possession of any information bearing on a state ment which had been made that an electioneering agent had been appointed a justice of peace in one of the Austra lian colonies, he being at the time, and having continued after his appointment, to be a hired servant in the employ ment of a resident in the district for which he had been appointed such justice. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he heard nothing on the subject officially. DIPLOMATIC ESTABLISHMENES IN FLORENCE. Lord H. LENNOX asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps it was intention to take with regard to breaking up the diplomatic establishments now existing in Florence ? also, whether he intended any, and what, change in the position of the Queen's representative at the Sardinian Court in consequence of the recent aggran disement of that State? Lord J. RUSSELL said with respect to the first part of the question he had advised her Majesty's Government to abolish the diplomatic establishmen at Florence altoge , Cher, and measures were being adopted for that purpose. With regard to the next question, on the annexation of Piedmont, he had raised the mission at Sardinia to the first class, and he did not know that any other step was necessary in reference to this matter. CONSOLIDATED FUND (L 850,000) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. FOREIGN POLICY. On the bringing up of the report on Ways and Means, Mr. HORSMAN drew the attention of the house to the foreign policy of the Government in reference to Italian affairs, which ha conceived (LEFT SPEAKING.) SPORTING NO TES. 43 11 29k THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE MEETING. The first numerous gathering of the sporting clans for the season of 1860 will take place at Northampton to morrow. The attractions are sufficiently powerful even to induce the members of the old school of turfites, who regard with aversion racing in March, to divot themselves of their prejudices, and to assist at a meeting at which so much interesting and legitimate sport is provided for them. The stamp of popularity has been long placed upon the Northampton ' Races, and whilst the meeting continues under the Marshall regime it is not likely to be effaced. At Northampton business is conducted with so much order and regularity, that persons who are most actively employed there find quite a pleasure in their trouble. That the plan which was suggested to extend the meet ing to three days has been abandoned, must afford no little satisfaction to those persons who delight in the prosperity of the fixture. To extend the programme to three days would rather diminish than add to the success of the pro ceedings. Besideb, too, the adoption of this measure is no longer required, owing to the establishment of the Grand ~ Military Steeplechases, which are likely to become the most popular cross country events in the kingdom. It has been announced that the races will commence each day, ,punctually at one o'clock, an arrangement necessary in order that the long list of sport may be got through before dark. For the Stand Plate there are twenty-five nominations, and about a dozen starters may be expected. Lord Nelson is the top weight, 9st., but his impost is not likely to crush him. Sir Joseph Hawley, however, may trust his interest to Gallus. Jenny Longlegs has already shown some form this season, and will be near winning this event. To her and the best of Sir Joseph Hawley's I shall leave the issue of the race. The starters for the Northamptonshire Stakes are likely to be numerous, and the betting at the post somewhat brisk. The death of John Day has doubtless caused the scratching of Ariadne, who had been somewhat freely backed, and the miserable plight in which Philomel showed at Warwick has also given speculators a little more money to help their books. Forager holds the position of leading favourite with much firmness, and a wide-spread belief is entertained in the "goodness of the thing." He shall not, however, forage for me. The Monk has been well sup ported, and his light weight ought to render him danger ous. Royal, Sovereign has so frequently disappointed me that I cannot again place faith in him. The black jacket and orange cap of " Mr Howard," that has been so long absent from the turf, will, it is said, make its re-appearance at Northampton, and will be borne by Claire. The colours may make a triumphant return, for Claire has shown no common form. Weatherbound is backed and great, hopes are entertained of her. She is a nice, useful filly, but I fancy scarcely class enough to win a race of so much im portance. Danae proved at Warwick that she can shy, and with her 5 lbs. extra for winning there, she will have Est. 101bs. to carry for this event. Not a very great weight, it must be confessed. I distrust the favourites, and must therefore look to the outside division to furnish the winner, and shall therefore give my faith to DANAE and CLAIRE. Since the above was written, I have ascertained that Royal Sovereign has b3en made first favourite, and that Forager has receded to 10 to 1. These changes, however, do not affect the conclusion at which I have arrived. The Whitlebury Stakes will produce an interesting race and will bring out several two and three yrs old horses, of whom great expectations are entertained. Infanta and Bye 'Ways shall be my selections. As the acceptance are not yet de clared for the Nene Handicap I cannot offer an opinion on If Paleface be brought out for the Racing Stakes 51bs allowance ought to insure his success. The race for the Spencer Plato will as usual be short and sweet. Should Actaeon start his great turn of speed must render him dan gerous, and with him I shall couple Theodora. _ _ - Either Fractious or Marmalade may win. the Delapre Handicap. Big Ben is my choice for the Althorp Park Stakes, which will bring out several two-year-olds of great merit. For the Cup I shall adhere to Nimrod. A FRESH MAN COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. PARIS, MARCH 24. Commercial affairs still remain in a state of stag nation. Merchants and speculators are waiting un- til the new Customs' tariff shall come into force to commence operations. Although the import duties fixed by the new tariff are high, one great point has been gained—prohibition is condemned to perish. Accounts from Mulhouse state that there is very little business doing, and that prices are looking down. There has been a rise in the price of sugar in the Paris market; good fourth quality is worth 70f. the 100 kilogrammes in bond. Sugar has like wise risen at Lille ; and ordinary beetroot sugar is readily bought at 60f. the 100 kilogrammes in bond for exportation. There were 500 casks of French West India sugar sold last week at Havre at 62f. in bond, and 1,500 casks for exportation at 64f. ; 6,025 bags for Falmouth at 67f. There has likewise been a rise on coffee at Havre. There were alto gether 32,160 bags sold, of which 3,000 were front Haiti at 76f. 50c. and 76f. 75. the 50 kilogrammes. The remainder varied from 73f. 50c. to: 80f. There were few buyers in the Paris flour market last week, and, in order to effect sales, it was necessary to make a reduction in the price. Flour of the four marks was likewise dull of sale. It is quoted at 55f. 25c. the sack of 157 kil9grammes for the month of April 58f. for June, and 59f. for July. Good wheat was scarce in the Paris market last week, and prices firm at a rise of 30c. the hectolitre. The price of wheat was likewise well maintained in the provin cial markets last week. Oats are less offered. The Minister of War required 5,400 quintals of oats for the service of Paris, and could procure only 2,000 quintals at 19f. 20c. the 100 kilogrammes, being 21e. higher than the contract concluded by Minister on the 22d February. Rye is in less de mand at 201. 50c. the sack of 115 kilogrammes. Barley, on the contrary, is firm at 201. for ordinary quality. CLOSE OF THE EXETER-HALL SERVlCES—Yester day evening the fifth of the series of Exeter-hall services, out of which arose the special services at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, were brought to a close, the sermon being preached by the Rev. Edward Garbett, M.A., of Brasenose College, Oxford, incumbent of St. Bartholomew's Church, Gray's-inn-lane. FALL OF A RAILWAY ARCH.—On Saturday, about one o'clock, one of the newly-formed arches for the Exeter and Yeovil line of railway, in the York-road, Lam beth, fell in with a tremendous crash. The labourers, about 200 in number, were at dinner at the time, and they for tunately saved their lives. The recent damp weather was the Oppp9oed cause of the accident. I ---
