Consols for Account, July 8 .... 931 2 x d SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE.—In the opinion of most people who look upon the scene from a distance, the greafnoise made of late by the American people anent the right of search, has arisen from a desire to per petuate the slave trade. Their own laws, equally with those of Great Britain,, condemn the traffic as piracy, and hold those engaged in it to be worthy of death. But their attempts to put an end to it have been a sham ; the force they have maintained upon the coast of Africa is altogetherinsuf ficient, and their denial of the right of visit has had the ef fect of allowing the trade to be carried on with comparative impunity. By a telegraphsc despatch from Washington, we are glad to see that President Buchanan is about to disprove -the charge made against his country. It is said that the British Government has complained of the inefficiency of the American squadron upon the African Coast, and that mea sures are to be taken to strengthen it iinmediately. By this proceeding the American Government will give evidence of its wish to put an end to the abominable traffic which some of its own citizens seek to justify. The visit of a British officer to one of their merchantmen has occasionally roused the fury of these fire-eating Southrons ; but in our opinion they will find much greater cause for that feeling in the fact mentioned in the Washington despatch—that no less than 25 slave-vessels have recently left the African coast under the protection of the stars and stripes. In the course which Mr. Buchanan has taken he will doubtless meet with the bitter opposition of the slave power. If he had to deal with a body of men who respected the laws of morality more than those of a barbarous and unprincipled " honour," the mere fact that a treaty exists by which. the United States are bound to do their utmost to suppmees thi s traffic in human beings would be a sufficient answer to their objections ; they would seek a repeal of the engage ment rather than an evasion of their obligations. But so that they gain their ends they care little by what means.— Toronto (West Canada) Globe. STEAM PLOUGHING AT IPSWICH.—An interesting trial took place at the meeting of the Suffolk Agricultural Soc ilety at Ipswich, on Friday, of the steam ploughing appa ratus of Mr. J. Fowler, and of the steam cultivator of Mr. Smith, of Woolston. The engine exhibited by Mr. Fowler was com-tructed by Messrs. Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich, and is about to be shown at the great meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Warwick. The price of the whole apparatus (L - minding engine) has now been reduced to £670, and the work done was certainly very effective, the plough, which comprises three shares, turning over the soil in a rapid, regular, and satisfactory manner. The cultivating apparatus of Mr. Smith can be set in action by an c ftnlarY portable agricultural engine, which can be after wards applied to other pin-poses, and the cost of the cultivator, steel ropes, windless, &c., is about £2lO, The principle upon which Mr. Smith proceeds is not that of ordinary pl oughing, b ut of " smash i ng up " the soil latera ll y and longitudinally, so as to expose it to the action of the elements, and at the same time render weeds easy of re .-moval instead of merely covering them up as in ploughing. Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, have brought out Mr. Smith's a pparatus. The subject formed a prominent topic of after - 0-inner discussion, and Mr. J. Allen Ransome expressed opinionthat, many discouragements and difficulties hay int; been overcome, the time had at last arrived when the steam plough had b ecome available on farms of large ex tent,especia y in aut umnal cultivation, as it would enable a lar ge a oonnt of w or k to be done expeditiously which could not e stherwise be ex ecute d without a great number of horses, whOee treading on the so il wou ld , to some ex tent, counteract the effect of the tillage. REMARKABLE PHENOMENA DURING THE STORM. —A correspondent, writing from L YwhiSto2l, Hants, says that during the storm an. Satu rday, which cominenced there at seven r' clock in the eiTening, "'The h eavens were dis charging a perfect deluge of ice -bolt s -- wedgee of ice in ' every shape and size ; they exceeded three ruches roun d, and some picked up were as big as oranges, some es small as pullets' eggs. I saw them hi white heaps all over the lawns ; they melted away like PROW. In falling they hroke all the windows to the north-west. The windows in ever y direction for miles were broken, causing damage an d waste inconceivable ; 170 panes were broken in one dwelling. By half-past ten p.m. all was calm and still as possible.'

THE NAVY. The Calcutta, 84, sailing two-decker, Capt. Wm. King Hall, and Belleisle, 6, old sailing 74 (hospital ship) Commander Henry Bingham, may be expected to arrive in England on or about the 14th instant. The Dauntless, 33, screw, Captain Edmondstone. —Up to noon yesterday this ship had not entered a single A.B. Popular captain or popular officers are equally at a discount. Men of the right sort will not enter unless they know to a certainty the destination of a ship. It is reported that she is to be sent to the " coast. This is the reason for the non entry of seamen. The Mediterranean station would work a change for the better. She is supposed to leave the Portsmouth steam basin on the 14th inst., and to be at Spithead by the 18th. Active and zealous officers must not be blamed because the Dauntless cannot pick up hands at the rendezvous. Although her ventilation has been much improved she is yet very much deficient in this necessary matter. She was always a deep, unwieldy, and heavy-looking vessel ; better at once caulk in her main deck ports, make her a corvette, and mount six heavy guns on her upper deck. " Jack" does not like the representation of a 33-gun frigate, which is in no way equal to the 21-gun Pearl cor vette, which has double the accommodation as well as ventilation. The Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Viscount Gilford, whose arrival at Spithead from China was reported in The Sun of yesterday, will steam into Portsmouth harbour this morning from Spithead, for dismantling and paying off. The Urgent, screw troopship, Commander Hirr, at present under repairs in No. 8 dock at Ports mouth, will, on her completion, proceed from that port to Deptford, where she will load provisions, &c., for Malta. The Meander, 44, sailing frigate, fitting in the ship basin, Portsmouth, as storeship at Ascension, commenced masting yesterday. The Odin, 22. paddle, having completed her repairs to hull in No. 2 dock at Portsmouth, has been towed round to the steam basin to re ceive her outfit at the hands of the factory and steam reserve. The Volcano, 6, paddle, has been removed from the station to the ship basin, for the purpose of being docked in No. 2 dock. The Medea, paddle, will be placed in No. 4 dock (now undergo ing the process of lengthening) so soon as it is suffi ciently advanced to receive her, for the purpose of survey, and repairs, if so decided on at the time of survey. His Imperial Brazilian Majesty's corvette Bahiana, bearing the flag of Commodore d'Hou damn, is shortly expected to arrive at Spithead from Cherbourg. Tjie Ariel, 9, screw, Commander C. Bromley, and the Megcera, Commander Purvis, will, accord ing to present arrangements, pay off at Ports mouth, the former on the 7th, and the latter on the 9th inst. The Osborne, paddle yacht, Master Commander U. K. Bower, hauled into the steam basin in Ports mouth yard yesterday, and will be placed in dock to clean her copper, and for re-embellishing, &c. Her crew will be berthed on board the Bellerophon hulk. Twelve gunboats, on an improved principle, of 80-horse power engines, and intended to be fitted with Sir William Armstrong's gun, are ordered to be constructed at the building yards of Messrs. Scott Russell, Mare, Pitcher, and Thames Iron Works, &c. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Capt. R. J. J. G. Mac donald, to the Hogue, vice Capt. Moore , Lieut. G. A. Brine, to the Donegal ; James Rae, promoted to be Deputy-Inspector-General of Hospitals ; S. J. Rogers, Master's Assistant, to the Edgar ; and C. C. Edwards, Assistant-Paymaster, to the Vulcan. THE ARMY. The following circular memorandum, ordering the discontinuance of prizes given by officers to the best marksmen with the Enfield rifle has just been issued from the Horse Guards by order of the Duke of Cambridge, and addressed to all commanding officers:— " The General Commanding-in-Chief understands that it is customary in some regiments for captains to bestow, from their private funds, rewards to the best shots in their comeanies. "This practice, though commendable in those who can afford it, as showing their esprit de corps, is in other re speata invidious towards officers who, with every disposi tion to bestow like rewards, are unable to accomplish it. " Government has liberally granted distinctions and attendant pecuniary advantages to those who excel in rifle shooting. His Royal Highness therefore requests that you will prohibit the practice above alluded to, being confident, from the returns of regiments and from the reports of the Inspector-General of Musketry, that soldiers possess in themselves sufficient emulation to attain perfection in that post important part of their instruction without other in due ling)* than those provided by regulation. By command, "G. A, WETHERALL, Adjutant-General." Yesterday orders were issued to the barrack au thorities at Chatham garrison directing the tents to be prepared and pitched near the hut barracks, at Brompton, for a portion of the depot companies belonging to the 3d battalion of infantry, to be encamped within the fortifications at Prince Henry's Bastion. Notwithstanding the heavy rain which fell on Sunday morning, the troops belonging to the 2d battalion, who are encamped within the Spur Battery, experienced little or no inconvenience, the ground having a sloping surface, throwing all the water off. In order to induce the men to re main as much as possible within camp after the duties of the day are over, a recreation ground has been provided for them, and this has been furnished with quoits, skittles, &c., amusements the troops appear to be very fond of.

The following is General Schtnid's report : "As I have already had the honour to report by telegram the reduction of the city of Perugia to the legitimate government of the Holy See, I no w pro ceed to offer a detailed•account of the affair. " On the 20th of the present month, at 2 a.m., I left Fuligno with my regiment, accompanied by a 60 gendarmes, and 30 of th'e a , and proceeded slowly picquet of about Financial Guard and with all section of indigenous artillery, e e) bridge of St. Giovanni, had been abandoned b the insurgents. which a few ( he C ao u u u t s ri t so o hb m et - f h oo (Custom-house), u eh s I hi ya ch nd, appeared - I continued my route enwa t rd w s Tiber, approached the Borgo serted and uninhabited ; but scarcely mo unted gendarmes, who formed the advanced had the guard, entered it, when a shot was fired from one of the closed houses.

He informed me that all endeavours to reduce the factious to their duty had been in vain , and that they were obstinately deternainad to defend t he cit y a g ain st every attack. " Conscious of the hostile intentions of the insurgents, and aware besides that reinforcements were expected from Tuscany, I decided on de laying the assault no longer, notwithstanding the fatigue of the troops in consequence of their long march. I accordingly directed the men to deposit their knapsacks, and, forming them i n three columns, advanced towards the city in the midst of enthusiastic shouts of military ardour. " The first column, under the command of Major Teannerat, followed by the artillery, took the new road ; the second, commanded by Major Dupaquier, advanced by the old road ; and the third, composed of two companies of voltigeurs, occupied the space between the first two, and passing over some fields and gardens, fell in with a party of tirailleurs in ambush, and opening a fire upon them soon drove theme behind their entrenchments. At three in the afternoon, in spite of the broken state of the roads, the three columns arrived in front of St. Peter's, the potut agreed upon; and maintained their posi tion in face of a vigorous fire from the besiegei behind their walls and barricades. I endeavoured with a few cannon-shot to disperse the rebels, but without success, and seeing the impatience of the troops, which I had already had considerable diffi culty in restraining, I ordered the attack. " It is impossible for me to describe the courage and the ardour with which my brave and valorous troops, calling on the name of the Sovereign Pontiff, rushed to the lofty . walls of the city, and to the barricades which impeded their approach to the gate. And as there were but few ladders, and the tools of the sappers and miners were broken at their first attempt to use them, there remained no other means of surmounting the walls but by the soldiers climbing on each others' backs. In a few minutes, however, the flag of the insurgents was torn down, and the Pontifical colours were unfolded in their stead. " The insurgents, driven back, retreated to the gate of St. Pietro, where their second line of defence were raised, occupying the houses in the street. Here a very obstinate combat took place under a most destructive fire; the troops, enraged at the vigorous resistance they met with, could no longer - be restrained, and having taken possession of the barricade, successively became masters, one by one, of the houses, from the windows a nd roofs of - whit k they hack been fired upon. 4 0pi;147 * 24, t fr k L ip,ni t l, aTi4 finding further I t i T resistento impossible, TO 04.04 heclißlig. tPsf4ra s the interior of the city, vainly 01F4YR.mg a last 1 defence in various points.

The sale of the Park Estate, Weymouth, was commenced on the 23d ult., and the holders of rights of choice had the privilege afforded to them of early selection. The plots will now be disposed of at the prices marked on the plan, (including costs of conveyance, roads and drains), as purchasers present theniselves, and the deeds will be handed over at once on the cost being paid in full. Per sons desirous of availing themselves of the borrow ing powers of seven-eighths of the purchase money from the society, can do so by acquiring the neces sary right at a nominal premium, and may pay the loan by monthly or other instalments. There are 301 building plots on this estate, which is situated only , a few yards from the esplanade and bay, and adjoins the Great Western and South Western Stations. The highest priced plot of land is £1,671 65., and the lowest £5O as. The advertisements for tenders for the roads and drains have been issued, and no time will be lost in completing the competition for th e h ote l works and carrying ou t th e pu bli s hed plans. The plots insured for the holders of the e ar li est r i g h ts o f choice on the register considerable premiums for their shares, and plots have been resold since the allotment at a large profit. These results have been effected without even holding a public meeting in the town ; but one will take place shortly, in order that the facility of obtaining freehold sites on this valuable property may be fully explained. The Conservative Land Society still continues to qualify in eleven counties persons desirous of obtaining the freehold franchise, and to afford them at the same time the security of a land investment. For the registration of 1859, circulars have been issued to the allottees on various estates, including county claims to be forwarded to the overseers ; the last day for such claims being sent in is the 20th inst., and they will be sustained at the Regis tration Courts free of expense to the members, The committee take this opportunity of reminding allottees that they may claim to vote at any polling place of the county where their land is situated, and if not living in the county may elect to vote at any one of the polling places most convenient to themselves. The late general election has proved the importance of attending to the registration, and the committee congratulate the society on the energy and good faith displayed by its members. The conveyances to the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners of the freeh o ld s i tes f or th e c h urc h es on the Maidstone and Winchester estates, are now in pre paration by their solicitor in order that the edifices may be forthwith erected. The Hon. Colonel Lowther, M.P., one of the trustees, and Robert Steven, Esq., a member of the board, being unable to continue their attendance, have resigned. The committee gratefully recognise the services rendered by these gentlemen to the society since its formation. As the number of trustees and members of the board are in excess of the minimum fixed by the rules, it is not necessary to appoint others in their places. The Executive Committee have under considera tion the allotment of the Roehampton Park Estate, remaining through th e reg i s t er o f r i g ht s.

LAUNCH OP THE DELTA.—One of the finest and handsomest vessels which has been built on the Thames for some time was added to the fleet of the Peninsula and Oriental Company by the launch of the Delta on Saturday from the yard of the Thames Ironworks at Blackwall. The Delta is probably one of the handsomest paddle steamers afloat, and from the extreme fineness of her lines will, it is anticipated, be one of the fastest also. She is intended for the conveyance of mails and passengers between Soutbamp• ton and Alexandria. The poop affords accommodation for 50 first-class passengers. including a large separate ladies cabin of ample dimensions and height ; 76 first-class passen gers arc also accommodated in the fore saloon, and 50 second-class in the fore part of the ship. The fore peak is a ppropriated to servant; the crew all finding room in the forecastle, and the officers in a large deckhouse behind the post-office sorting room, which has been added in com pliance with the recent Post-office regulations. So many Improvements have been made in the lines of this vessel (designed by Mr. Ash), that she can carry a larger cargo and greater number of passengers than any other vessel in the company's service of the same size. Though of 2,000 tons burden, and intended for great speed, yet her engines a re only to be of 400 horse power. These engines, however, were made by Penn, and are fitted,w,ith his apparatus for super h e ating steam, vithich, by economi s i ng , o f cour se, in creases the power. .The principal dimensions of the Delta are—extreme length, 310 feet ; keel for tonnage, 293 breadth extreme, 35 feet ; and depth, 21 feet 6 inches.

Th e launch was twat the vessel as it glided easily into th e wa t er . t' midst of a heavy shower of rain, and there, with immense applause, raised the banner of the Sove reign. Every street was searched but no trace of an enemy remained : every one, as if by enchant ment, had disappeared, and Perugia was com pletely occupied by the troops. The conduct of the troops, of the officers, and subalterns, the non commissioned officers, and of the privates, was in general such as do credit to the foreign regiments in the service of the Holy See, and well merits the trust that is reposed in them. "Nor ought I to be silent on the equal proofs of courage given by the indigenous troops of every arm who took part in the operation. I find worthy of notice the act of the gendarme Paolo Cavalieri, who, although under arrest, begged to be allowed to take part in the fight, and wiLs unfortunately struck by a ball, which broke his leg and placed his life in danger. The gendarme Paoletti was also wounded by a ball. I reserve to myself to give a separate report of the soldiers who distinguished themselves the most. Our loss is sensible-10 killed, including Captain Ab 'Uberg ; 35 wounded, including Captain Britchgy and Lieut. Cruffer. But the enemy's loss was much more considerable ; and although not precisely known, cannot be less than 50 killed and 100 wounded, besides 120 pri soners. The same night the troops were shut in their appointed barracks, and order and discipline restored calm everywhere. The number of rebel combatants is reckoned at 5,000. They were com manded by a certain Colonel Antonio Corrotti, come expressly from Tuscany ; by Count Cesari and Giuseppe Danzetta, of Perugia. Some of these are said to be wounded. The greater part taking flight through the various city gates escaped hastily to the Tuscan territory, but many are still hidden, and are falling every day into the power of the military government instituted by me. Now trail quillity and order are re-established amongthe peo ple, and the environs, such as Citta de Castello, le Fratte, &c., have made their voluntary submission to the government of the Holy See. A column of about 50 Tuscan Tuscan volunteers, who had ar med at Passignano, returned to their own country when they heard of the result. The disarming goes on, and a considerable quantity of arms and ammunition is collected. Having thus given an account of my mission, I have only to add that my sole desire and that of my troops is to prove our devotion and fidelity to the august Sovereign and Government whom we have the honour to serve. The Colonel commanding the regiment. (Signed) "A. SCHAIID:' CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. QUARTERLY MEETING-(THIS DAY.) The general quarterly meeting of the share holders in this society was held to-day, at. the offices, 33, Norfolk•street, Strand—Viscount Rane lagh in the chair. The usual routine business having been trans- acted, The CHAIRMAN read the following report, which was unanimously adopted : The executive committee have the pleasure to present to the members of the Conservative Land Society their 27th report. The annexed tables show the returns for the quarter ending at Christmas, 1858, and Lady-day, 1859, and that up to the 24th of June, with the grand totals up to Midsummer, 1859—the financial year terminating on the 30th of September next. THIRD EDITION THIRD READINGS. _ _ The Gateshead Quay, Hampstead Junction Railway, and Vale of Neath Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. COURT OF CHANCERY. Lord LYNDHURST said he had given notice of his intention to draw the attention of the house to the proceed ings of the Court of Chancery on Friday next, but as he perceived a noble lord had had a motion on the paper for that evening reseecting Italian affairs, he should postpone proceeding with his subject until next week. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he hoped the noble and learned lord would persevere in his intention, as no person was so competent to deal with the question. Lord LYNDHURST said he should most certainly do so on Monday or Tuesday next. PETITIONS. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Derby shire complaining of the exclusion of Dissenters from the administration of trust funds of endowed grammar schools, and also a petition against church-rates, and another against the trade in opium. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE read the terms of his motion with respect to Italian affairs, it was as fol lows :—" That an humble address be presented to her Ma jesty expressing the thanks of this house for her Majesty's gracious communication of the deeply important correspon dence on the Italian affairs, presented recently to both Houses of Parliament by her Majesty's command, and gra ciously acknowledges the unquestionable evidence that correspondence affords of her Majesty's earnest and important endeavours to avert the calamities of war. That her Majesty may be assured of the loyal confidence with which this house relies on her Ma jesty's determination to maintain neutrality, and that finally it be represented to her Majesty that while every suitable endeavour be made under her Majesty's authority for the completion of our defences on sea and land—the operations of the belligerent powers be carefully observed, with a view in particular of such offers of mediation on her Majesty's part as may lead to the conclusion of peace on just and comprehensive grounds." The noble earl said he thought it would be for the conve nience of all parties that the question should be brought forward on Friday next. The Earl of DERBY thought that day would suit the convenience of all parties. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH BILL. On the motion for reading this bill a third time a lengthened conversation ensued, in which the Earl of GRANVILLE, Lord ,STANLEY of ALDERLY, and several other noble ords took part, the bill was eventually read a third time and passed. PETTY SESSIONAL DIVISIONS BILL. This bill passed through committee. OUR NAVAL DEFENCES. Lord LYNDITURST rose to call the attention of the house to the military and naval defences of the country. The noble and learned lord said , that he was induced to bring forward this subject A* there was a party in this country who were dispowd to consider that we ought not to expend any of our resourcEs in strengthening our military and naval resonwes ' but that he ought to abstain from doing so. He begged it to be dis tinctly understood that in any observations he might make it might not be understood that those c;aserva tions were for aggressive purposes but fox , defence. (Hear, hear.) He also hoped it would not he thought that he brought forward the question in a party spirit, because on such a subject he thought thue was no party spirit. (Hear, hear.) A. great change had. taken place in the naval position of the oountry. The introduction of steam in itself worked a great change in our power, as com pared with that of lbreign nations ; and it was impossible to predict the result of a maritime struggle at the present time. His reason for alluding to this circumstance was to show that we would not, as heretofore, rely upon our naval supremacy. This was no reason why our efforts to perfect our steam navy should be for an instant relaxed, (Hear.) At the beginning of the last year the French exceeded us slightly in line-of •battle ships, but ex ceeded us in an immense proportion in frigates. He was, of course, alluding to steare, vessels. We now exceeded them in line. of-Aattle ships, but they were still stronger than wo were in frigates and vessels of smaller dimensions, In another particular, the French were as powerful as ourselves. The moment the French sent a ship to sea they had trained men to mann and work the guns, but such was not the ease with us. Luxt SPEAKING.I HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. _ Mr. Bagwell took the oaths and his seat for Clonmel, and Colonel Powlet Somerset for Monmouthshire. PRIVATE BUSINESS. GRIEVE' S SWB - lialTlE§ REMOVAL BILL. On the motion for the first reading of this bill, which came down from the Lords, Mr. STEWART moved that the bill: should be read a first time in ten days, Sir G. GREY considered it would be advisable to read the bill a firTA time, and when printed it could be carefully analysed by hon. members, many of whom were ignorant of its character. After some conversation the amendment was withdrawn and the bill was read a first time. TENANT COMPENSATION (IRELAND). Mr. MAGUIRE presented petitions from Cork and Kil kenny in favour of the adoption of a measure for compen sation for improvements by tenants in Ireland. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. FOSTER gave notice that he would move an address to her Majesty, stating the inconvenience of Parliament sitting in the summer months, and to suggest that the Parliament should be called in August. PAPER DUTY. Mr. AYRTON gave notice of a motion for the repeal of the paper duty. VOLUNTEER CORPS Mr. PALK moved that the house would, upon Tues day next, resolve itself into a committee to consider of an humble address to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to give directions that the necessary arms, accoutrements, and ammunition be furnished to volunteer rifle corps under the provisions of the Act 44 Geo. 111., c. 54, as well as to artillery corps in maritime towns, and to assure her Majesty that the house would make gsod the same. ANCHORS. Mr. BE NTINCK moved for a copy of the report of the Anchor Committee, nominated by the Admiralty, to deter mine on the relative merits of diffPrent descriptions of anchors. THE INDIAN ARMY Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India whether, with reference to the report, dated 7th March last, of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the organisa tion of the Indian army, any steps have been taken to effect the formation of a permanent local army in Bengal, and for the gradual disbandment or reduction of the levies tem porarily taken into British pay during the mutiny of the native troops in that Presidency. Sir C. WOOD said he could not state what steps had been taken in reference to the first portion of the question, and it involved a great number of subjects that required much consideration. With respect to the second question he could not give any positive answer at present. THE INDIAN EUROPEAN TROOPS, Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for India whether he had received any information regarding the excitement which had prevailed amongst the late East India Company's European regiments, consequent upon the withholding of the alternative of re-enlisting with new bounty or of being discharged, on the occasion of the trans fer of their services to the Crown; and if so, whether he had reason to believe that such excitement no longer existed ? _ Sir C. WOOD said that certainly some discontent pre vailed amongst the troops in question, arising fro m th e i r belief that they had not been fairly treated in being trans ferred to the Queen's service. An investigation had been commenced, and it appeared that in the course the Indian army had adopted they seemed to have forgotten altogether the oath they had taken on entering service. Ho could only add that the investigation was proceeding. ATLANTIC STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Mr. BAXTER asked the First Lord of the Treasury if the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called to the contract entered into with the Atlantic Steam Navi gation Company, to carry the mails between Galway and the United States ; and whether they considered it advisable in the interest of the public that the said contract should, under certain conditions, be cancelled ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called ' not only to this particular vostion, but to the general sub ject of these contracts which had been entered into for the conveyance of the mails, and the whole system would be carefully considered. He was anxious that the subject be brought forward as quickly as pos sible, and therefore he gave notice that he would move for an inquiry into the manners and the circum stances under which contracts for the mail service for some years had been entered into with different Go vernments. He could not bring the subject forward earlier than the day he. named, as to-morrow was fixed for other business, POOR LAWS. Mr. AYRTON said that, conilldering the Govern ment had only recently come into office and that the session was so far advanced he would postpone till next session h's motion fora select committee, to enquire into the operation and administration of the laws for the relief of the poor in Great Britain and Ireland. MR. G. H. RYLAND, Mr. GREGORY moved for a select committee to inquire into the arrangements under which Mr. G. H. Ryland was induced to resign the patent office of Clerk of the Council in Canada ; whether that step was taken under a distinct guarantee from the Imperial Lord High Commissioner Lord Sydenham ; and if so, whether that guaran t ee h a d ever been fully and fairly carried out by the Imperial Govern.. ment. He contended that Mr. Ryland had been treated with great injustice, and that his case was entitled to full investi gation of that house. It appeared that Lord Sydenham, the Lord High Commissioner of Canada in 1841, being de sirous of effecting a union between the two provinces, it was arranged that Mr. Ryland should resign his Situation, receiving a retiring pension of £515 a year, and accept the situation of registrar of the district of Quebec. It was understood that this situation was to be equivalent to the amount of the pension to which he was entitled. However, the situation proved anything but lucurative, and some years Mr. Ryland was actually out of pocket while he held it. For some years he endeavoured to ob tain compensation, but without success, the Govern ment of this country considering that the question should be decided by the colonial Government by whom it w as re pudiated, The consequence was, that the unfortunate gentleman was for years unable to obtain any redress, and at length suceeeded in obta inin g onl y a sum of £9,000 as a reward. He concluded by en treating the house to grant the committee, and to remove ally depression that might be produced as t o f ull ju s tice not being done in this country .to iduals who felt themselves ag g rieved in the eoAOIOS. Mr. FORTESCVV, sand that this was an old question, but it had (Artie before the house on the present occasion in a totally different form to that in which it had previously presented itself, tl. few years ago this subject had been referred to an impartial party, who had made anaward which Mr. Ryland had accepted. The abolition of Mr. Ryland's office was an act of the Imperial Parliament. A great change was made with reference to the provinces of Canada which were united, and an entirely new Council, as well as new officers, had to be eelected. It was necessary that there should be an alteration with reference to Mr. Ryland, as regarded the office of Clerk in Council. There were good reasons for his not being appointed to that office, because he was at the time a very strong political partisan, and, consequently, not fitted under the circum stances for that situation. He was then offered the office which he accepted as a speculation, and if it did not turn out as profitable as he expected the Government was not to blame. It was true that Mr. Ryland made a protest at the time which Lord Sydenham was prevented from noticing by his sudden illness. Besides it was the opinion of three Secretaries 'of State that the subject was not one for the consideration of the imperial but the colonial Government. [LEFT SITTING.)

(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) BROOKE V. PEARSON.-JUDGMENT. The question here arises under the marriage settlement of William Pearson and Elizabeth, his wife. The hus band afterwards became bankrupt, and his real estate was sold for £17,400. The wife claimed an annuity of £3OO under the settlement; the children, £lO,OOO. The bank rupt's assignee claimed the residue. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—ln this case I was desirous to look over the authorities yesterday before I expressed my opinion on it, but I am of opinion that this is a good annual rent-charge for £3OO in favour of the wife. It is impossible for me to look to this clause in the settlement and not clearly discover that it was the inten tion of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson that this should be the arrangement of the settlement. When I first heard Mr. Selwyn, I was disposed to think that this clause was void ab initio, but I have come to a contrary conclusion. His Honour declared the wife's annuity preferable to the claim of the assignee, and directed the trustees of the settlement to invest £lO,OOO in Three per Cent. Consols for the benefit of the children of the marriage ; the mortgagees to be paid, and the residue given to the assignee in bankruptcy. Costs to be paid out of the estate. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
