HOUSE OF OF L9RDS-(THIS EVENING.) Lord REDESDALE, as Deputy-Speaker of the House of Peers, took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. EDUCATION IN INDIA. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH gave notice that shortly after Easter he should draw the attention of the house to the state of education in India, particularly with respect to the exclusion of the bible from native schools. CHURCH RATES. Petitions against the abolition of Church-rates were pre sented by the Bishop of Chichester, the Duke of Marl borough, the Duke of Richmond, Viscount Dungannon, and several other peers. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. The Earl of CARNARVON drew the attention of the Government to a telegram which appeared in the news papers stating that terms of peace had been signed between the two contending parties, and asked if the Government know whether the terms of peace were those proposed by General O'Donnell. If such information had been received, he wished to know whether there would be any objection to lay the papers re lating to the subject on the table of the house. The pro duction of the papers was of the utmost importance, if such were in the possession of the Government, as it was highly desirable the exact terms of the peace should be publicly known. Lord WODEHOUSE said the Government had received similar information to that referred to—namely, that preli miniaries of peace had been signed, but they were alto gether ignorant of the details. He reminded the noble earl that peace had not been concluded. The preliminaries had only been signed. Under such circumstances, he could not at present give the noble lord any more definite infor mation. SAVOY AND NICE. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that on Fri day, the 20th of April, he should move the resolution of which he had given notice, that matters of great pul)lic importance should not be made private letters instead of public despatches. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills wereread a second time :—Bainbridge, Lisburne, and Belfast and Ulster Railways; Belper Water, Ualue ito,riu,.y. Liverpool Corporation Water. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Dublin (City) Steam Packet Company, and Dublin and Drogheda Railway. MUTINY BILL. On the motion of Earl DE GREY, this bill was read a third time and passed. MARINE MUTINY BILL. On the motion of the Duke of SOMERSET, this bid was read a third time and passed. CONSOLIDATED FUND (£851000) BILL. On the motion of the Duke of NE WtASTLE this bill was read a second time. BANKS IN INDIA. Lord MONTE AGLE moved for returns of all correspon dence between the Secretary of State for India and the Go vernment of India, touching the establishment of Govern ment banks; and also for lists of all banks now existing in India. The Duke of ARGYLL laid on the table tl-e returns moved for by the noble lord. He did not wish at that mo ment to enter into a discussion on the subject, the more so as several noble peers, who took great interest in banking in India, were not in their places. His own opinion was that it was as much the duty of the Government to issue paper money as coined metal. The doctrine of the noble lord, that it could not be the ditty of the Government to issue paper money, was in opposition to the opinion of the highest authorities. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought that the issue of paper money could never be important in amount, and that the attempt to issu! might lead to inconvenience. He would take that opportunity of asking if the Government had yet received an account of Mr. Wilson's financial scheme in sufficient detail to lay them before the house. The Duke of ARGYLL said he had only received the document that morning, and was therefore not in a posi tion at that moment to answer the question. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Liskeard and Caradon Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered, and ordered for third reading :—Cardiff Water, Chard Railway, Norwich Corporation Markets, &c. The Finn Valley Railway Bill was road a second time. THE 14TH LIGHT DRAGOONS. Mr. PAPILLON asked the Secretary of State for War, how it happened that the 14th Light Dragoons were sent home by long sea instead of overland, as intended : what were the circumstances under which the Himalaya was detained at Alexandria with ' the two Arm strong batteries of Royal Artillery barracked on board ; whether the Himalaya, having been further detained owing to the expected arrival of the 14th Light Dragoons, will now return empty ; and, what is the probable amount of expense to which the country will have been put owing to those arrangements ? Mr. S. HERBERT entered into an explanation, which was to the effect that telegrams sent by the Government re lative to the conveyance of troops from Bombay by Suea were not received at the former place. Arrangements were now made in reference to the Himalaya and the conveyance of the trocps in question to this country. THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY AND NICE. Mr. B. COCHRANE asked the hon. member for Bridge water (Mr. Kinglake) on what day he proposed to bring forward his motion respecting the annexation of Savoy and Nice ? Mr. KINGLAKE—The declaration of the present views and future policy of the Government which the house had heard last night from the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs with so much satisfaction, had superseded the necessity for the motion of which he had given notice on the 6th of March last: He should not deem it his duty to call for the interposition of the house in re ference to this matter, so long as he believed as he then did that her Majesty's Government were determined to carry on their foreign policy in conformity with the opinion of that house and of the country at large. (Hear, hear.) LUNACY LAWS. Mr. TORRE NS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it was intended to nominate the select committee on the lunacy laws sanctioned by the house last February; and whether it was intended, without fur ther delay, to submit reports on the evidence already given on the lunacy laws before the select committees of the two previous sessions, with a view to legislate for the ameliora tion of the condition and treatment of patients confined in insane asylums. Sir G. - GREY said that the committee previously ap pointed on the subject was re-opened this session, on the motion of a private u.omber. That committee had taken evidence, and would report the result to the house. FORTIFICATIONS. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether it was the intention of Government to pro pose ary vote in the present year for raising by loan, or otherwise, any sum for f or tifi cat i ons b eyon d th e s um pro posed in he army estimates at present laid on the table? Lord PALMERSTON—The subject of additional forti fications had been the subject of inquiry before a commis sion appointed for that purpose, and their report was under the consideration of the military authorities. The matter had to be dealt with in reference to the description of forti- . fications that might b e d eemed requis i te as we ll as other' points. As soon as the report has been laid before the Government they would deliberate on what course they ought to pursue, and then it would be his duty to bring the report before the house, and to state the intentions of the Government. CARDINAL FIESCIII AND M. TIIOUVENEL. Mr. BOWYER asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether, Lord Cowley had forwarded to her Majesty a communication from Cardinal Fieschi relative to the note of M. Thouvenel ? Lord PALMERSTON considered that notice of the question should be given before he was called on to an swer it. Mr. BOWYER then gave notice that he would ask the question on Thursday next. PACKET AND TELEGRAPHIC CONTRACTS. Capt. L. VERNON called the attention of the house to the report of the packet and telegraphic contracts commit tee. The hon. and gallant member contended that Mr. Churchward had been most unjustly treated, and that the conduct of the Government in regard to him was calculated to shake the confidence of the commercial classes in the justice of Ministers. He went in detail through the cir cumstances relating to the contract in question as deve loped in the committee appointed to inquire into the subject last session. (LEFT SPEAKING.) LONDON GAZETTE -(THIS EVENINC.) BUCKINGHAM PALACE, MARCH 23. This day had audience of her Majesty, Baron Bentinck, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of the Netherlands, to deliver a letter from his Sovereign.

The directors in their report state that the earthworks of the section between Lahore and Umritsir, 32 miles in length, had been finished itt a satisfactory manner by the native contractors, for the small sum of £l5O per mile. The perma nent way necessary for this section had been placed along the line, the rolling stock had left England in January last, so that there appeared every reason to believe that the two capitals of the Punjaub would be placed in railway communication before the end of the current year. The earthworks of the whole of the remaining 218 miles from Lahore to Mooltan had been let with the sanction of Government to nativ contractors on similar terms to those for the Lahore and Umritsir section, and the works along the line were being energetically pro ceeded with. The permanent way materials and rolling stock for this portion of the line were being rapidly forwarded, and there was every prospect of the whole railway being brought to an early and satisfactory completion, and at a very moderate cost. It would be necessary to make a call of £5 per share, payable in June next. The directors continued to receive every facility from the home authorities, and also from the local Government in India, for the prosecution of the works. The capi tal account showed that £240,249 had been ex pended on the works, &c., £28,369 paid as interest to the proprietors, £3,636 in hand, and £342,526 with the Secretary of State for India in Council— total, £614,780. CAPE TOWN. The directors state in their report that since the last meeting much progress had been made in the earthworks on the line and in the shipments of materials. The greater portion of the rails and sleepers were now on the ground between Cape Town and Stellenbosch. The direction of the exten sion lino into Cape Town and the position of the terminus there had also been decided. Four power ful locomotives had been despatched to the colony, and one moiety of the carriages and other rolling stock was now in course of shipment, so as to pro vide for the opening of the first section of the line with as little delay as possible, whereby a consider able impetus would be given to the undertaking. Under the terms of their contract the company were bound to expend 125,000 in work and materials to the satisfaction of the colonial engineer within a period expiring on the 4th of last month. The directors had received the certificate of the colonial engineer, verifying the due fulfilment of that obli gation. All calls, or payments in anticipation of calls, bear the guaranteed interest of £6 per cent per annum from the date of payment into the com pany's bankers. The capital account to the 29th of February last showed that £100,850 had been received, and £72,080 expended, leaving a balance of £28,770. OTTOMAN (FROM SMYRNA TO AIDIN.) The directors in their report state that the delay , that had occurred in the progress of the first sec tion, and other local matters, induced the board in November last to request their consulting engineer to visit the works. Since that period the chair man, Sir Macdonald Stephenson, had also proceeded to Smyrna, and the reports of both those gentle men as to the future prospects of the undertaking were satisfactory. The directors fully concur with the consulting engineer in the importance of a branch from a point 361 miles from Smyrna to Tireh, which would bring the traffic over the en tire length of the first section of the main line. One of the principal obstacles to the more vigorous prosecution of the works had been the want of funds, many of the shareholders having failed to pay up their arrears. During the past half-year the total receipts from calls amounted to £89,523, paaking, together with the previous payments, £352,723; while the arrears from the commencement to this time amounted to £72,206. Since the 31st of Dec. £3,268 had been received, of which £1,948 was on account of calls in arrear. To enable the com pany to prosecute the works, the directors had determined on raising a sum not exceeding £250,000 on debentures. On the part of the Turkish Govern ment there existed an earnest desire to render all the assistance required by the company. The report of Mr. E. Clark, the consulting en gineer, stated that the permanent way was now laid over about 18 miles of the first section, which was fenced in throughout its entire length. There still remained a large amount of work to be done before the first section could be opened for public traffic. AQUATICS. UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

We are requested to state that the above race will be rowed from Putney to Mortlake, and not from Mortlake to Putney, as was originally intended. The start will pro bably take place between 8 and 9 a.m. LONDON ROWING CLUB. This great metropolitan club, despite the extreme rough ness of the weather, opened their season at Putney on Saturday last, when, in addition to three eights, the new 12-oared outrigger, built by Jewett, of Dunstan, was out, and considerable interest was created by the announcement that she would on this occasion be pitted against a picked eight, both boats being manned by members of the club. The race started from Hammersmith-bridge, and was level at a fine pace to near the Crabtree; here the twelve had drawn nearly their length in advance of the eight, and succeeded in beating them at Putney by a couple of lengths. The Oxford crews were coming back from their first trial about the time of the race, and, with some crews of the West London Rowing Club, whose best four gave the London picked eight some work to beat thew, the river preaeateg a most palmated apporance. 21 - LE EAYI The Sutlej, 51, was undocked yesterday at Ports mouth at high water, on the completion of her lengthening and conversion from a sailing to a screw frigate. Her lengthened bow has a very handsome appearance on the water. Her Majesty's royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert has been undocked and placed in the steam basin at Portsmouth, where she has commenced coaling. Her superheating gear is shipped, and she is expected to make her steam trial about the 2d or 3d proximo. The Osborne, paddle yacht, has been placed in No. 8 dock at Portsmouth, to clean copper, &c. The Bacchante, 51, screw, will make trial of her propeller, with its leading corners cut off, at the measured mile in Stoke's Bay, this day, should the weather prove favourable. The shipwrights now employed in Portsmouth dockyard, in excess of the authorised number (550), are to be discharged at the rate of 50 per week. The other trades in proportion. The first dis charge a illtake place on Saturday next.. The Rinaldo, 17, screw, was yesterday, at high water, floated cut of No. 6 dock at Portsmouth, where she has been constructed. Miss Stewart, sister to the Hon. Mrs. Grey, the wife of Rear- Admiral Superintendent Hon. G. Grey, performed the ceremony of naming the vessel. The Rinaldo was afterwards towed round to the steam basin to receive her machinery. His Imperial Majesty's Russian frigate Arkold, Captain Onuvosky, from Japan, 59 days from Simon's Bay, entered Plymouth Sound yesterday morning, homeward bound. The screw steam frigate Diadem, Captain James H.

Intelligence has been received at the head-quar ters of the Chatham division of Royal Marines that about 400 men belonging to various infantry regi ments at present serving in India have volunteered for the corps of Royal Marines serving in China, and that they are now on their passage from India to China to join the battalion. The 16th'Laneers (now quartered in York) and the 9th Lancers are to be moved to Aldershott to join the Lancer Brigade to be formed there during the summer. The 13th Light Dragoons are to be moved to York from Edinburgh, and the 4th Light Dragoons will march to Edinburgh from Man chester. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, March 26. Before Loyd Chief Justice Erie and a Common Jury.) PERCIVAL AND WIFE V. LEVY. This was an action against the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, to recover damages for a libel. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification. Mr. Ribton and Mr. M'Donnell appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Haw kins, Q.C., were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Ribton, in opening the case to the jury, said that the plaintiff, although in humble circum stances, and who gained his livelihood by working as a porter at the different wharves on the river side, was a very respectable person, and he brought the present action against the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, to recover damages for a libel that had been published in that journal, which had cast the most serious imputations upon the character of himself and his wife. He then proceeded to state that the case arose out of a charge of rape, that was preferred by the daughter of the plaintiff, Hannah Percival, against a man named James Powers, in December last, under these circumstances :—The plaintiff's daughter, it ap peared, was employed with several other girls and women at a bedstead manufactory in Thames street, and Powers was the foreman in the esta blishment, and the charge that was made against him was that he had taken advantage of his posi tion to commit the offence imputed to him, and he was taken into custody upon that charge on the ith of December, and was examined before Mr. Alderman Abbiss at the Mansion house, and was remanded for two days, and upon the second hearing, the Lord Mayor being present and concurring in the proceeding, he was committed to take his trial to the Central Criminal Court, when the grand jury ignored the bill. The libel complained of consisted of reports of the examina tions and comments upon the evidence in leading articles, the material portions being that the plain tiff and his wife were accused of having made the charge against Powers for the purpose of extorting money from him, and that he would not have been given into custody if he had agreed to a proposition that was made to him by a woman named Dawson, with the sanction of the plaintiffs, that he should pay a sum of money to hush up the charge. The articles also contained some very strong comments upon the magistrates for having sent so serious a charge for trial upon such weak evidence as had been adduced in support of it. The various reports were put in evidence, and it appeared from the examinations before the magistrates that Powers from the first declared his entire innocence of the charge, and it also appeared that the girl, Hannah Percival, made no complaint until a fortnight after the commission of the alleged offence, and she ad mitted that improper intercourse had taken place between her and Powers on three other occa sions after the supposed act of violence without any complaint on her part, and she also admitted that she had a book of a most obscene character in her possession, and that she showed it to another girl who was employed in the manufactory. Th e woman Dawson, it appeared, also stated, when she was examined, that Mrs. Percival sent her to Powers, on the Saturday before he was given into custody, and told her to ask him for some money to settle the affair, and that he declared he had done nothing wrong and said he would not give a shilling, and that Mrs. Percival then said that she would prefer the charge of rape against him. The woman Dawson also appeared to have proved that Powers complained, in the presence of the girl, of the cruelty of her making such a charge against him, and that she then said that he had not committed the offence, but had merely attempted to do so. John Percival (the plaintiff) and his wife were examined, and they proved most of the facts above narrated connect e d with the charge made by their daughter against Powers , and they both swore positively th a t they never authorised Mrs. Dawson to make any proposition to Powers to settle the matter by the payment of money, and that their only object in taking him before a magistrate was to obtain redress for the injury which they believed he had inflicted upon their daughter. The father, in cross•examination, said that he did not employ an attorney to conduct the prose cution, but a policeman had recommended him to the gentleman who was conducting this action, and all the money he had given him was £4, which he paid him that morning. This witness also said that after the grand jury had thrown out the bill, and these articles appeared in the Daily Telegraph, the boys used to " chaff" and ,jeer him in reference to his daughter's case. Mr. Edwin James then addressed the jury for the defendant. Mr. Justice Erle, in summing up, said that the law undoubtedly was that a fair and correct report of proceedings in a court of justice, if published bona fide and without malice, could not be made the subject of an action for libel, but with regard to the publication of comments upon those proceed ings afterwards, that was another matter, upon which he should not at present give any opinion. With reference to this particular case, however, he should state that it appeared to him that the de fendant was not justified in making the comments he had done in the articles that appeared after the proceedings before the magistrates, and if the jury should think that they were of a libellous character, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, with such rea sonable damages as they should think he was en _ • titled to under all the circumstances. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages ioo. Mr. James tendered a bill of exceptions to his lordship's rul in g in p oint of l aw , upon the ground that he should have left it to the jury, that if they b e lieved the statements Were mad e bona fide and w ithout malice, and. were founded upon the facts, the defendant was entitled to a verdict; and upon the application of the learn e d counsel, execution was stayed, until the question raised by the bill of exceptions has been more fully argued. COMING EVEXTS. --o The debate last night in the llouz Commonsis, if we mistake not, a point of departure for new combinations in Europe. Lord John Russell has almost in terms announced that the entente co rdtale which has so long intermittently existed between England and France is again—we hope we may say only for the moment—broken. He, the Mini ster directing the foreign relations of England, has from his place in Parliament deliberately declared that he no longer feels confidence in the modera tion or peaceful intentions of the Emperor of the French. He has expressed his conviction that, after this consummated act of the annexation of Savoy, " The Emperor wilt be called upon from time to time to commit other acts of aggression," and he suggests that the Emperor will accede to the call. He proclaims to the world that this act must estrange England from the side of France, and must induce her to seek safety in the society of the other nations of Europe. " I do feel," said Lord John Russell, that, however we may wish to live on the most friendly terms with the French Govern ment—and certainly I do wish to live on the most friendly terms with that Government—we ought not to keep ourselves apart from the other nations of Europe, but that, when future questions may arise—as future questions may arise—we should be ready to act with others and to declare, always in the most moderate and friendly terms, but still firmly, that the settlement of Europe, the peace of Europe is a matter dear to this country, and that that settlement and that peace cannot be assured if it is liable to perpetual interruption, to constant fears, to doubts and rumours with respect to the annexation of this one country, or the union and connexion of that other." This is a very important declaration. Both the Emperor of the - French and the Minister of England have now kept their words to each other. The former shadowed forth his in tention of pushing forward the present frontier of France in a certain contingency ; the latter warned him that whenever be should carry out that inten tion he would forfeit the confidence of his ally. It is done, and Lord J. Russell tells his ally frankly that, although he continues him as an acquaintance, he shall go elsewhere to seek his friends. The allusion to Prussia is scarcely equivocal, and we have not now to inquire where the present Go vernment proposes to make its closest alliance ; while the confession that Russia has declared that " the King of Sardinia was free to give away Ms province, and the Emperor of the French was free to receive it," leaves it clear that there is no inten tion or hope of forming a hostile European Con federation, such as the Tory party recently coun selled. Thus ends, as we very much fear, that strong hope of mutual confidence and good will based on commercial intercourse which we were all only yesterday taught to anticipate with such eager credulity. When these words are—as they are at this moment—telegraphed to Paris, and when it is known with what loud cheers the House of Com mons rang as they were delivered, and with what welcome they were received by all except by one speaker, we cannot, but expect that such zeal as has hitherto been shown to remove difficulties will be somewhat cooled, and that the strictest interpreta tions of the Commercial - Treaty will be enforced. On our side, also, there is a possibility that the Treaty may hereafter be read with a different gloss. It will now be more clearly seen that we have yielded everything upon the spot, in the expectation that something that has never been promised might be generously given to us. The Emperor of the French may be magnanimous, and may yet fulfil the hopes of those among us who stooped to think with such motives. But it is not now likely. It is an unhappy time to declare ourselves slighted and betrayed. The Emperor has gained all his objects: He has crippled Austria, neutralised Russia, and conciliated Italy. We arise from our dream of confidence, and tell him that we 'have been deceived and that we in tend to trust him no more. The time is past when such a reproach or such a declaration would have had weight. These bold words will not make Na poleon 111. relax his grasp upon Savoy, or delay him in the choice of the site for his palace at Nice. They only tell him authoritatively—what we told him long ago—that by this act we are offended but not outraged, estranged but not provoked to enmity.

THE EARLDOM OF WILTES. Among the new peerage claims which will come before the Committee of Privileges in the House of Lords during the present session is one which, if admitted to be " made out" to their lordships' satis faction, will so far create a revolution in the British peerage as to dispossess the Earl of Shrewsbury of the honours of the premier earldom of England, which he has so recently acquired by the decision of the law. The claimant of the earldom of Wiltes, or Wiltshire, is Mr. Simon Thomas Scrope, of Danby-on-Yore, Yorkshire, wbo in the year 1858 presented a petition to the Queen, " praying her Majesty to be pleased to cause a writ of summons to Parliament to be issued to him by the title and dignity aforesaid." Hcr Majesty was pleased to refer the said petition, together with the Attorney- General's report thereon, to the House of Peers on the 7th of June, 1859, who on the same day referred it to the Committee of Privileges to consider and report upon it." The printed statement of the pe titioner recites, first, how the earldom of Wiltes was created by letters patent in 1397, in the 21st year of Richard 11., in the person of Sir William Scrope, Knight, eldest son of Sir Richard Scrope, first Lord Scrope of Bolton, " to him and to his heirs male for ever ;" and urges that, though the said earl dom has never been assumed since the death of the first earl, sine prole, in 1399, yet that, as it was g ranted with remainder, not to the heirs male of his body, but " to him and his heirs male for ever," such remainder includes the issue of the earl's next brother, who succeeded his father as Lord Scrope of Bolton, and transmitted that barony to his descendants. The direct line of the seventh Lord Serape ended in 1630, on the death of the 11th lord (who was created Earl of Sunderland) without issue male, when the right to the family honours descended to the heirs male of Mr. John Scrope, of Haineldon, Bucks, and Spennithorne, Yorkshire (the sixth lord's second son), namely, Francis Scrope, of Spennith o r ne , an d of Danby-on- Yore, Yorkshire, who, dying without issue, trans mitted his claim to th e h e i rs ma l e o f his brother Christopher Scrope, from whom the present claimant is directly descended in the fifth genera tion. Besides the question above incidentally alluded to, the petitioner in his " case" raises the question whether the execution of the Earl of Wiltes by the Duke of Lancaster, afterwards Henry IV., at Bristol, operates as an act of attainder, and strongly urges on his own behalf that the judgment under which that unfortunate nobleman was exe cuted contains no express forfeiture of his dignity as a peer of the realm, and that the law is, that in order to forfeit a peerage in tail, there must be either a formal conviction for high treason, or an act of attainder and deprivation striking at the dignity by name. "In this case," says Mr. Scrope, " the execution of the earl by the Duke of Lancas ter could not have the legal force of a direct attain der, while the entry on the roll makes no mention of his dignity as an earl, and therefore could not deprive his representatives of it. In support of this curious and interesting claim, Mr. Scrope re• cites in his " case" an abundant store of learned extracts from the rolls of Parliament, writs of sum mons, the herald's visitations in Yorkshire, the entries in the parish registers in Thornton- Steward and Spennithorne, family wills and mar riage settlements, bills in Chancery, pedigrees, leases, releases, deed polls, charters, and sepulohral monuments, extending down to the present time, from the date when, according to no less an ,autho rity than Shakspere— " The Earl of Wiltehire held this realm in farm." The family . of Mr. Scrope have been uninter rupted in their adherence to the Roman Catholic religion, and, curiously enough, the records of th e fines levied on his ancestorsas " Popish recusants" are pressed by the claimant into his service as proofs of his position. They have largely inter ularri,c&iffowitra, htl m ie ax M we e l y l n s, d c a ll n s, Constables,othernoble R oman S tri ck lnds Catholic families, and are widely and deservedly respected in Yorkshire, as not unworthy represen tatives of a family as ancient as the reign of Ed ward the Confessor, and w hi c h, i n the - period of 300 years which intervened between the reigns of Edward 11. and Charles 1., produced two earls, 20 barons, one chancellor, four high treasurers, two chief justices of England, five knights of the garter, and numerous " bannercts"—the highest military order in the days of chivalry—besides two arch bishops and one bishop. It is worth note that tes timony was borne to the knightly descent of the Scrope family, so far back as the year 1386, in the celebrated controversy between Sir Richard Scrope and Sir Robert Grosvenor for the right of bearing a coat of arms, when it was deposed and formally established, according to Sir Harry Nicholas, that the then representative of the house of Scrope was " descended from noble and generous blood of gentry and noble ancestry, who had always pre served their name and estate in dignity and ho -1 noun" The present claimant was born in 1790, , and married to a daughter of the late Mr. John i Jones, of Llanarth, by whom he has surviving issue a son, and also two daughters, tho elder of f whom is the widow of the late Mr. Bastard, of Kitley.
