There has been rather more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days, and in several instances prices have been rather firmer. Tea has been exceedingly firm, and fully late rates were realised for the better de scriptions at public sale. Coffee has been in good demand, and Plantation Ceylon has shown a slight advance in value. Sugars have not been dealt in to any large extent, but good grocery qualities for home consumption were in fair demand; and in the Refined Market a slight advance has taken place, owing to the scar city of dried goods on offer. Rice continues very dull. For saltpetre there has been a fair inquiry, and, in the private market, the better qualities have shown a slight improvement. The public sales of colonial wool continue to proceed With steadiness, and for the better qualities of Australian there has been rather more animation in the biddings, but little variation can be reported in the rates realised, compared with those current at the beginning of the series. Tallow has been exceedingly dull,' and prices show a downward tendency. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday continued very firm, and prices of American advanced fully ad. per lb. Other descriptions were unaltered. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The Atrato, from the West Indies, has arrived with £160,800 in gold and silver; and the Sultan from Lisbon with a very small amount, viz., about £825. A meeting of the West London Railway Com pany has taken place to-day, when a resolution was passed for enabling the directors to carry out their project for converting the Kensington Canal into a railway, having for its object the connection of the great railways on the northern and southern side of the Thames. The traffic on Li canal had shown a slight increase over the previous year. From the accounts it appeared that the balance in favour of the company, on revenue account, was £1,944 12s. 10d. The report was adopted. A steady inquiry for discount accommodation is still experienced, both in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England ; but the payments effected to-day (the 4th of the month) have not occasioned any pressure, and the terms charged for negotia ting commercial bills continue under the official minimum quotation. A moderate amount of business is reported in the English Stock Market, but a rise of } per cent. took place at an early hour, in consequence of numerous purchases for money, but a reaction has since occurred. Consols were at 95 d, but the latest price is 954 I. Bank Stock has improved to 2281 and 230. The New Threes are marked 96 to 9 61, and the Reduced, 96} to 961. Exchequer Bills, 355. to 38s. prem. ; and the Bonds, 100. India Stock is steady, at 222 ; and the Loan De bentures are firm, at 99. A rather large amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, prices, however, are depressed: Turkish 6 per Cents. are 901 to 911; ditto, New Loan, 77 to 771 ; and ditto, 4 per Cents., are 1021. Venezuelan 5 per Cents. have receded to 421; Mexican to 19ic; Portuguese to 45'4 2 ; and Sar dinian to 79. Spanish 3 per Cents, are steady at 44 and 441, but the Deferred have declined to 294. Peruvian 41 per Cents. are marked 924 ex div. The New Austrian Loan is 21- to 2 dis. A moderate business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, and prices have been steady. Bristol and Exeter, South Western, Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton, and South Eastern, advanced ss. ; and Brighton, 10s. North Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Midland and North Eastern (Berwick), declined ss. ; and North British, 10s. The Foreign Lines have been quite neglected, except Lombardo-Venetian, which have improved about ss. for both the old and new shares. In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada declined 10s. ; Great Western of Canada, ss. ; East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula are at former rates. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are moderately active, and show a slight improvement. Union of Australia have advanced ss. ; London Chartered •of Australia, ss. ; New South Wales declined 10s., and London Joint Stock, ss. Penin sular and Oriental Steam and Royal Mail Steam have each improved about 10s. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., give the following as the prices of the American Securities : Redeemable.

Rajah , which has for its object the inducing for that loyal and ex cellent prince, " the weary world's best medicine, sleep." To say that Mr. Alderman may have succeeded in this, When we hear how afflicted is this illustrious and wealthy Indian, would be presumptuous; but certainly the care, the tenderness, and the solicitude of a nurse could not be more closely imitated than is wonderfully effected by the inge nious and simple contrivances attached to the couches and chairs Trirposelv enne , trictr , fi byMr. Aldernaan.-3ro;•ni.v • FUNI t3,D DE f; T. - -1;if?

(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) Eli PARTE JOB.-IN THE MATTER OF THE WINDING}-UP OF THE NANTHILL VALE COMPANY. .-- SERVICE OF ORDER-MISTAKEN IDENTITY OF DEFENDANT. Mr. Stiffe moved on affidavits to discharge a writ of at tachment and execution levied on the goods and chattels of the defendant in the sheriff's possession, on an order of Court against the defendant, Mr. Alfred Mortimer Job, Cannon-street, City, for £54 11F. 2d., in respect of his holding 100 shares as a shareholder of this company. Mr. Harrison, solicitor for the assignees, instructed Mr. Armfield to serve Mr. Job with a notice of the order of the Master of the Rolls, ordering him to pay up his shares on 13th Sept. last. Mr. Armfield alleges that he duly served the notice on Mr. Job in Cannon-street, at two o'clock on that day. Mr. Job denied that he received any notice of the order, and alleged that he was not then in Cannon. street; that he dined with his sister, Eliza Charlotte Job, Eastbourne terrace, and remained there all day. Mr. Job appeared in court, and Mr. Armfield and his witnesses were desired to point him out—Mr. Armfield, after some hesitation, pointed Mr. Job out as the person on whom he had served the notice of the order—Mr. B. H. Tromp pointed out Mr. Job instantly on seeing him. Mr. Job then changed his place, and took up his position be tween two gentlemen, like himself, wearing moustaches— Mr. D. Harrison, jun., the third witness called in, pointed out a wrong person. Mr. Job was then examined on oath, and said that on the 13th of September last he was not that day at Mr. Harrison's office ; that on that day he left the City between 11 and 12 o'clock in the omnibus, and walked across the park to his sister's house. He was not in Cannon-street at two o'clock on that day and was not served with the notice of the order. His sister and servant could speak to this fact. Mr. Job said he would pay the money in a short time—within a week. His Honour directed Mr. Harrison to call on Mr. Job's sister and speak to her on the subject of Mr. Job dining with her on the 13th of September last, and then inform his Honour whether he wished to proceed in this matter any further. Mr.:R. Palmer, Q.C., supported the service of notice of order, but said he left the case entirely in the hands of the Court. Mr. Deane followed on the same side. • His Honour observed that the return of service did not state the name of the place where it was served. Hs con sidered this material, and consulted the registrars on the subject. He remarked that in the service of subpcenas the name of the place where it was served was required to be stated in the return of service. His Honour said he would lay the matter before the Lord Chancellor, and perhaps some general order would be made on the subject. Mr. Stiffe said, in the case of Atkins, in the matter of fi. fa., the Lords Justices reversing an order of Vice-Chan cellor Sir J. Steuart, in an irregular return, said that they would discharge the order if the party gave an undertaking not to proceed in an action at law, on account of it. His Honour said he would read the affidavits, and also hear Mr. Harrison whether he wished to proceed any further, and then put it on the paper if necessary. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BO W-ST BEET. Two very respectably-attired boys, who gave the names of John Hicks and Thomas Brown, were placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with picking pockets. Mrs. Mary Ann Gar= stated that she arrived in Lon don last evening, and entered the shop of Mr. Elliott, 451, Strand, for the purpose of making some inquiries as to places whether she was proceeding. As she went into the shop she was closely followed by the two boys at the bar. The youngest one was nearest to her and remained so until she left the shop. She had scarcely proceeded 20 yards when she discovered that she had been robbed of her purse containing a quantity of silver money, half of a return rail way ticket, and other articles. The boys had left the shop before she returned, and she communicated her loss to the shopman, who instantly went in pursuit of the lads, ar d re turned to the shop with them. She accused them of the robbery, but they strongly denied the charge. William Holloway, assistant to Mr. Elliott, oil and Italian warehouseman, of the Strand, said—Having been informed by the prosecutrix of her loss he immediately went after the boys, who had been served with half a pound of currants, and came up with them as they were standing over the area grating of No. 3, Adelaide-steet, and took them both back to the shop and accused them of the theft. They began to cry, and said they knew nothing about it. On searching them 9s. 2d. was found on the elder boy, and among the coins were two half-crowns and a florin, which corresponded with part of the money of which Mrs. Garren had been robbed. A policeman was called, and they were both given into custody. Police-constable, 595 A, said he took the prisoners into custody. He had searched about for the purse and the other missing property, but had only succeeded in discover ing a portion of it, which consisted of two small cards and the envelope of a letter. These were found in the area of 3, Adelaide-street. He had not found the railway ticket, and did not think he should, for he believed the latter boy had swallowed it, as he was chewing a piece of paper when he was first taken into custody, and swallowed it before he could be prevented. Both prisoners gave false addresses. Hicks—lt was only a bit of tea paper. I took it up off the counter. Mr. Jardine—Are the prisoners known? A police-constable of the B division said one of the pri aoners had been before convicted. Mr. Jardine committed both prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING AN ARCHITECT.—Giovanni Antonelli, an organ grinder, was charged with annoying Mr. J. Jennings, architect and district surveyor of the parish of Marylebone. Mr. Jennings said, on the previous afternoon the man, who was one of a number who daily infested the place where he resided (Langham-place), came in front of his house and began playing. He went out and told him one of his family was very unwell, and requested him to go away. He pre tended not to understand him, and walked a short distance, and began playing again, all the while grinning at him. He then told him that he would go for the police, and did so, and returning with ono a quarter of an hour afterwards he was still playing. He felt perfectly certain he under• stood his request to desist. The evidence having been interpreted to the accused by Mr. Albert, _ _ • Mr. Bingham said, at this part of the town organ-grind ing was an intolerable nuisance. The least they could do was to go away when requested. He believed he under stood what was said to him, or he would not have grinned as he had done. He was determined persons should not be annoyed by such pests in their professional pursuits, and he would make the players of organs see that the law was stronger than their organ grinding. Fined 10s., or seven days. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. THAMES. SCANDALOUS SYSTEM OP ROBBERY ON THE RIVER. — Thomas White, a lighterman, in the employ of a Mr. Keen, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 239 lbs. of coals. Inspector Dyer, of the Thames police, stated that, at half•past six yesterday evening, he saw the prisoner in a corn barge, en the river, near Wapping Old Stairs, and watched him. There was a coal barge laden with coals lying alongside the corn barge, and the prisoner delibe rately passed from one barge to the other six or seven times, and brought back coals on each occasion, which he deposited in the cabin of his own barge. He took the prisoner into custody, and asked him what he meant by stealing the coals, to which he replied, Take no notice of it and I'll take them all back. He weighed the coals, and the weight was exactly 239 lbs. The coals were the property of Mr. Smith. The prisoner said he was very sorry. Mr. Yardley—Yes, sorry you are found out. This prac- tice of robbing coal barges is very prevalent on the river. Watermen, lightermen, bargemen, and labourers think they can make free with coals necessarily exposed on the river. I sentence you to one month's imprisonment and hard labour; and I give notice that, if summary punish ments will not put a stop to this system of robbery, I will commit offenders for trial. The prisoner asked the magistrate to inflict a fine, and said it was his first offence. Mr. Yardley—Certainly not. I will ne t i n fli c t a fine; and I do assure you that if I was not quite satisfied this is your first offence I would commit you for trial. The prisoner earnestly appealed to the magistrate for mercy, and said he had hitherto maintained a good charac ter. He should not be employed again if he was convicted. The practice of lightermen taking coals from barges to make up a fire was almost universal. His master allowed him no fuel, and he was obliged to do it. Mr. Yardley was astonished at the defence offered by the prisoner. It was quite monstrous. If the prisoner's mas ter really held out an encouragement to his men to steal, he ought to be committed for trial. The object of all punishments was example, and as an example to others he should not mitigate the punishment, and in future inflict severe sentences. Every barge on the river was plundered of coals more or less. The Prisoner—l wished to do justice to my master. Mr. Yardley—Do your master justice by stealing other people's coals f It is perfectly monstrous. The Prisoner—Ho allows me no fuel, Mr. Yardley—Then go without. Take the prisoner away. THE REVS. MR. MBEs AND MR. SPURGEON.— We are informed that on Sunday last, two sermons were preached in the Church of England Chapel, St. Vincent street, in reference to Mr. Spurgeon's first address at Glas gow, on the text, "Jacob have : lloved, but Esau have I hated," touching which the m i n ister of the chapel had offered to meet Mr. Spurgeon in Queen-street Hall for an Open discussion Of the subject—a challenge which the latter refused to notice. There Were overflowing congregations, many hundreds being unable, in the evening, to get within the chapel. The preacher announced that the collections by the plate at the door would henceforth be abolished, and that no pews would bo lot after the present term of occu pancy. Ho conceived that the time had now come when preachers of the go_eyel must be able to say, " We seek not yours, but you."'"nrOM (he Colafonian Xcroiry, 4lgrM 1, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Viscount DUNGANNON presented a petition against the abolition of church-rates. Lord WENSLEYDALE presented a petition for the total abolition of imprisonment for debt. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from Derby against the abolition of church rates without any equiva lent. Lord COLVILLE (of Culross) presented petitions from the Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Shields, and Gateshead Cham bers of Commerce, in favour of the bill for the better regu lation of watermen, bargeowners, and others connected with the navigation of the river Tyne. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Devon, complaining of the recent decisibn of the Lords Justices, and praying that Dissenters might not be debarred from administering trust funds of grammar schools. The noble and learned lord dwelt upon the injustice of the ex clusion, and said legislation on the subject was imminently necessary. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented similar petitions froth Newbury, Folkstone, and other _places. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a first time. Lord WODEHOUSE gave notice that he should move the second reading of the bill on Tuesday week. DIVORCE COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice, that on an early day he would call the attention of their lordships to the state of the new divorce courts, with a view of aiding and assisting its action. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the house to the proposal to remove the Royal Academy from the National Gallery to a new situation, and the conditions of such removal. The noble and learned lord said it would be in the recollection of their lordships that he presented a petition on the subject, and he hoped they would not think he was outstepping t his duty in bringing the subject under their attention for the second time. There was a marked difference between the Royal Academy of England and other countries, because it was self-sup porting, while those of foreign countries looked for assis tance from the State. The Royal Academy was not to be regarded as an association of private gentlemen, although it was originally such, as it had been instituted under the superintendence of the Crown, and the laws by which it was governed were drawn up under the eye of Geo. 111., and no member could belong to it without the express permission of the Crown. The Royal Academi cians formerly held apartments in Somerset House, and when they removed to the premises in Trafalgar-square, they did so under the same rights and same tenure as they formerly posssessed, and the keys were delivered to the then president, Sir Martin Shee, by order of the King. It was perfectly true they did not hold the apartments by the will of the country, but they did so by assent of the Crown. He had already said that the academy was self-supporting. The expenses were entirely defrayed out of the annual receipts of the exhibition, by which means a sum of about £7,000 per annum: was realised. It was generally believed that it -larger part of the money was divided among the academicians, but such a notion was entirely false, as they had no power to appropriate the smallest sum to their own use ; and, after paying the expenses, the surplus was devoted to the support of schools of art. It was owing entirely to this ar rangement that two-thirds of the present Royal Academicians had received their professional educa tion. Another purpose to which the money was applied was the defraying the expenses of promising young artists who wished, but were prevented, by want of becoming means, to visit and study in the different schools of art on the continent, and large sums were also annually voted to the relatives of deceased artists, It was also a fact that no eminent artist, for the last 50 years, willing to become a member, had been prevented from joining it. There had been two or three exceptions, for reasons which he should not then occupy the house in detail. ing. It afforded him pleasure to mention the fact that he had done so, because it would go forth to the public, and would remove many very false impressions. Before he resumed his seat he wished to allude to the pro • posed change of site. A proposal had been made for grant ing to the Academy a portion of Burlington-house, and what the Academicians wished, if they accepted the pro posal, was to devote a certain sum to the erection of addi tional buildings. The removal would not affect the standing of the Royal Academy, as it would be subjected to the same supervision and control as hitherto, and he felt sure that management had, and would always, redound to the credit of the body. The Earl of DERBY said it afforded him pleasure to state the exact position in which the Royal Academy stood with regard to the Crown. It was well known that the premises in Trafalgar-square had for a considerable time been eonsidered insufacien tboth for a National Gallery and the Royal Academy, and it had been proposed to give them a portion of Burlington House. There had for some time been applications from various learned and scientific societies for portions of the building, and the Government felt justified in passing over the claims of the others in order to give the whole to the Royal Academy. Negotiations were then entered into with the academy as to the accom modation they required, but in their answer he thought they asked for too much. [LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(rms EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. HARDY took the oaths and his seat for Midhurst. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Mr. FORSTER moved that the order, that the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Sale or Lease) Bill be committed, be read, and discharged, and that the bill be withdrawn ; also that the order, that the Breconshire Railway and Canal (No. 1) Bill be committed, be read, and discharged, and that the bill be withdrawn ; also that the Chichester Harbour Embankment Bill be re-committed to the former committee, with leave to the committee to sit and proceed on Tuesday next, if they think fit ; and for the withdrawal of the West London and Pimlico Railway Bill.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented from letter-carriers and others employed in provincial post-offices, praying that they might be included in the provisions of the Superannuation Act. LETTERS OF DETENTION. Mr. WARRE moved for a return of tho number of "letters of detention" issued by the Admiralty Court since Ist Jan., 1856, upon affidavits made by parties alleging that they had claims upon ships or vessels, foreign or Bri tish, in any ports or harbours of the United Kingdom, with the dates when such letters of detention were issued, and also the dates when the causes to which thoy related were severally heard and detorrnined.—Agreed to. EAST INDIES (MORTALITY AT DUMDUM.) Mr. S. HERBERT moved for an address for copy of any reports: or correspondence which had been received in the department of the Secretary of State for War or the Secretary of State for India, on the subject of the mortality which occurred in the year 1858 among the women and children quartered in the barracks at Dumdum, in the Presidency of Bengal.---Agreed to. • MANNING THE NAVY. On the motion of Admiral DUNCOMBE, copies or ex tracts of a report and appendex of the committee of 1852, on manning the navy, `•ere ordered to be laid on the table. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). Mr. MONSELL moved for returns of the number of pupils on the rolls of all the Irish National Schools for the half-year ending the 31st day of March, 1858, specifying the number of each religious denomination, the number of literary teachers, and of managers of each religious deno mination : and of the names of all officers in the board's service in receipt of salaries.—Agreed to. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that, on the occasion of the second reading of the people's Representation Bill, be would move that no measure for an extension of the suffrage would be complete which did not include vote by ballot. THE PAPER DUTY. Mr. W. EWART asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Treasury had considered the propriety of ex tending to school books generally the exemption from paper duty which is now allowed on books in the Latin, Greek, Oriental, and Northern languages printed by the universities ; also, what books are considered to be free from duty under the description of books in the Northern languages ? Sir S. NORTIICOTE said that it would be impossible to define strictly what were school books ; and with refer ence to the last part of the question, the books described as in the northern languages were Russian, Scandinavian, Danish, and Dutch. MARINE ENGINES. Mr. HENRY GORE LANGTON asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, as her Majesty's Government had thought it ; necessary to apply for tenders for the supply of marine engines from Liverpool, Scotland, and most of the eminent houses engaged in this particular busi noes, Bristol was included amongst the places to which invi tations for tenders had been made ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said that no tenders had been ac • cepted from America, but there was no desire to exclude any locality or any respectable house from participating in the business alluded to. CLAIMS OF BRITISH TRADERS. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether steps were being taken to induce the Portuguese Government to satisfy the claims of British traders for injustice done to them on the African coast ? Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that endeavours had been made for the last sixteen years to obtain a satisfactory settlement of the claims in question, but up to the present time they had succeeded only in getting promises. TREATIES WITH FOREIGN POWERS. Mr. HORSMAN asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the treaties which, subsequent to the Treaty of :Vienna, had been concluded between the Emperor of Austria and the different sovereigns•of Italy, and having reference to the internal government of their dominions or their military occupation by Austrian troops, had been communicated to the British Government ; and whether there were copiei of them in the Foreign-office; and, if the answers were in the affirmative, whether there was any objection to lay them before Parliament. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that some of the documents referred to were in the library of the house, but that only the substance:of others in possession of the Government were in the library. ROYAL MARINES. Mr. HORSMAN moved for a tabular statement of sea men (including officers), boys, and marines, voted for naval service, and actually borne, from the year 1756 inclusive to the present time (1859) inclusive; and of the amount of money voted in each year for the service, and specifying the different periods of war r ands peace Agree —d to. S. EPARK. Mr. KINNAIII) asked the Chief Commissioner of Works whether he was preparedto recommend an d t o carr y out the widening of the passage leading from Spring gardens and Cockspur-street into St. James's Park, so as to allow carriages and persons on horseback to enter and leave the park by that route, the Metropolitan Board of Works having announced their intention of immediately widening so much of the said passage as fronts Berkeley House. _ Lord J. MANNERS said that the subject was under attention. PUBLIC OFFICES, Lord J. NANINILIi* obtaiited leave to brills a bill to ' make further provision for enabling the Commissioners of her Majesty's Works to acquire a site for additional offices for the public service, near Whitehall and her Majesty's Palace of Westminster. COURT OF PROBATE. Lord J. MANNERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable the Commissioners of her Majesty's Works to ac quire a site for the purposes of her Majesty's Court of Pro bate and other courts and offices.—Agreed to. ASSISTANT-SURGEONS IN THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. RIDLEY asked the Secretary of State for India, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government now to confer any mark of distinction upon those Assist,- Surgeons, late in the - service of the East India Company, who formed part of the garrison during the whole of the siege of Lucknow, and who were recommended in the despatch of General Inglis, of the 26th September, 1857, to the particular attention of the Government of India • or, if the rank of assistant-surgeon does not allow such 'dis tinction conferred at the present time, whether he will cause that recommendation to be noted in the books, so that on their obtaining the rank of full surgeon they may receive a corresponding distinction to that already con ferred on the four surgeons named in the above cited despath ? Lord STANLEY said that the assistant-surgeons were only regarded in the light of other subalterns, and there fore were not eligible fer any such distinction as that al luded to ; but, on the part of the Government of India, he could assure the hon. member that they were very desirous of recognising the claims of those who were entitled to such recognition. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY APPOINTMENTS (IRELAND). Mr, BEAMISH asked the Attorney-General for Ireland, whether it was the fact that the Lord Chancellor of Ireland had recently appointed Mr. Charles Henry James, an officer in the Ayrshire Rifles, one of the two official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy and Insolvency in Ireland ; and, if so, whether the Attorney-General could inform the house what were the qualifications of Mr. James for the office, and what was the amount of the salary or emoluments ? Mr. WHITESIDE said the gentleman in question was appointed because he was the fittest man. (Laughter.) The hon. and learned member read a letter from the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, stating that Mr. James was recom mended to him by some of the principal merchants of Dublin, and that he believed the salary was about £6OO a-year.

ELLICE asked the Lord Advocate, whether, by the new Reform Bill for Scotland, it was intended to confer on burghs and counties a similar franchise to that provided for in the second, third, and fourth sections of the first clause of the English Reform Bill now before the house. In the first clause, relative to the franchise, in the bill in troduced by the Government an alteration was proposed which, though not affecting England to any great extent, would very seriously affect Scotland. He alluded to the lowering of the franchise from £lO to £5, and in dealing with Scotland, it should be remembered that the former was the ordinary amount of long tenure in that country. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he proposed to bring forward the Scotch bill as soon after the English Reform Bill as the pressure of business would permit—he expected before Easter. He thought it would be inconvenient to make any statement at present. He took that opportunity of informing the house that ho would take an early opportunity of making a statement with reference to the Reform Bill for Ireland. In reply to Mr. PALK, Mr. BRIGHT said, with regard to his measure, he thought it would be better for the house to attend to one at a time. (Laughter.) He would give full notice before in troducing his bill. Mr. C. FORTESCUE considered that some intimation of the intention of the Government with reference to the nature of the bill to be introduced to amend the representa tion of the people of Ireland, should be made before the pre sent time. After some observations from Mr. Vance and Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Mr. Bowyer, and Lord J. Russell, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said what he wished the house to understand that it was desirable that the principle of the bill which had been introduced should be affirmed before any statement was made such as that alluded to, as the principle did not apply solely to England. He would, therefore, defer making any statement, until subsequent to the second reading of this bill. ARMY ESTIMATES. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that there was an item in the army estimates of £1,050,000 for a debt incurred in 1857, relative to which no information was given in the estimates. He hoped, therefore, that the gallant Secretary of War would give an explanation in reference to so large an item. General PEEL said he would make such explanation as that required. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates, Mr. STAPLETON called the attention of the house to the organisation of the Danubian Principalities, in so far as it was affected by the election of Alexander John Couza to be Hospodar of Wallachia, he having been previously elected Hospodar of Moldavia ?
