MONEY MARKET AND CITY NETVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have slightly increased. The enquiries for the finer qualities of sugar suitable for home consumption have been active, and prices generally have tended upwards. Tea has been in steady demand at late quotations, and coffee at public sale realised an ad vance of about 6d. per cwt. for the finer qualities of Plantation Ceylon. Rice has been dull, but no ma terial alteration can be reported in value. At the public sales of cinnamon, prices declined about id. to 2d. per lb. on the rates obtained at the last sales in January. Saltpetre has been inactive at barely previous values. For tallow there has been a fair enquiry ; the market, however, is quiet, and prices have shown a downward tendency. The following particulars of the number and tonnage of vessels loading for the Australian colo nies are extracted from the usual monthly list com piled by Mr. Miller, the manager to the Jerusalem -Coffee-house : For Vessels. Tons. Launceston 1 .... 632 Hobart Town Sydney Melbourne, Geelong, and Portland Bay 19 .... 15,278 Adelaide 7 .... 4,063 Swan River New Zealand 5 .... 3,750 Total 43 .... 31,287 A fair amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were fully supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market con tinued rather active, and quotations exhibited in creased firmness. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed to-morrow, the 2d inst., a special sitting day in the shares of the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Company's shares, and transactions in the same are to be officially recorded. A holiday is observed at the Stock Exchange to-day, as usual on the Ist of May, when the ad justment of the half•year's balance renders it neces sary to close the Transfer-office. About £85,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. To-day a call of £5 per share, amounting to £3,750, is due on the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Preference £2O Shares. The demand for money continues quiet, and the rates are still 1 to 1- per cent. under the Bank of England minimum quotation. It is consequently imagined that the authorities will soon lower their terms in order to compete with the discount houses. As the specie movement has become favourable, a further decline in the value of accommodation is anticipated, and the speculators at the Stock Ex change have, therefore, been induced to operate for a rise in prices.

A meeting of the noblemen and gentlemen who have associated themselves together to promote the making of a direct communication between the districts of the metropo lis lying north and south of Hyde-park was held this day at the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi. Among those present were the Earl of Grosvenor, Earl Ducie, D. Mocatta, Esq., W. M. Thackeray, Esq., James Wade, Esq., C. W. Dilke, Esq., T. E. Cook, Esq., A.R.A., H. Brocklehurst, Alderman Lawrance, John Blore, Esq., Thomas Longman, Esq., Lieut.-Col. Dickson, Lord R. Montague, Arthur Nutter, Esq., R. Westmacott, Esq., H. Cole, Esq., &c. The Earl of GROSVENOR, having taken the chair, said the present meeting had been called for the purpose of urging upon the Government the necessity of making a direct communication between the northern and southern districts of Hyde Park and Ken sington Gardens, the want of which had for several years been a great inconvenience to the public. A committee of the House of Commons in 1855 reported in favour of such a communication, and recommended a plan for the formation of a public road to connect these two districts, so as not to interfere with the scenery of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. It was to give effect to that recommendation they had assembled that day, and he trusted their efforts would be successful. In addition to the convenience the proposed line of communication would be to the inhabitants of those districts there were other strong reasons for an im proved communication. There was the establishment of the National Museum and Picture Galleries at South Kensington, which, it had been suggested, should further be increased by the addition of the Natural History collec tions from the British Museum, the new gardens of the Horticultural Society, at Kensington Gore, with its ter raced flower-garden ; and the buildings proposed to be erected for the Great Exhibition of Arts and Manufacture in 1862. (Hear, hear.) He trusted their efforts to effect the desired object would be successful. Lord DL CIE was strongly in favour of the object of the meeting, and he begged to move the following resolution, viz.,—That it was desirable that a more direct communica tion between the districts lying north and south of Hyde park should be made, and that a committee be appointed, consisting of the noble chairman and as many gentlemen as it was thought desirable to further the object in view. W. M. THACRERAY, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. LONG moved the second resolution, which was to the effect that the committee organise deputations to the Duke of Cambridge, the Prime Minister, and the First Commis sioner of Works. Alderman LAWRANCE had much pleasure in seconding the motion. He thought the fact that her Majesty had granted to the inhabitants of Tyburnia and Belgravia a line of communication directly in front of her palace was a strong circumstance in their favour, especially as it was proposed to carry out the plan without, in the slightest degree, in terfering with those who frequented the beautiful open space of Hyde Park. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DOVE thought the plan for crossing Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park was opposed by many on the ground of the danger to the ladies and children who frequented the gardens. The plan, however, would not interfere in the slightest Itengree with the comforts of the ladies and children. He had had a conversation with Mr. Page, the engineer, and he was of opinion that the whole could be done for £30,000. He thought the meeting ought to be prepared with some plan before they waited upon the authorities. The CHA IRMAN said the present meeting wasnot to decide or select any plan ; that would be best left to the Chief Commissioner of Works. They might, however, prepare themselves to meet certain objections. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DUKE said he thought they need not trouble them selves about plans, as he believed the Chief Commissioner was in advance of them, and had the whole thing cut and dry. (Laughter.) Mr. R. WESTMACOTT thought that great difficulty would be found with the turnpike trusts, which were held, as the meeting well knew, at very high prices. He thought the proposed communication was much wanted, and that it could be dono for the price mentioned, but it should be very clearly stated that the beauties of the park gardens were not to be disturbed in carrying out the improvement. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Resolutions in favour of raising subscriptions to defray expenses in organizing the deputations to governing autho rities having been agreed to, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the noble chairmen.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., this morning showed cause against the rule which had been obtained in this case by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., on the part of General Beatson, calling upon the defendant to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that the verdict which had been given when the trial took place before Mr. Baron Bramwell was against the evidence. It will be recollect4d that it was an action brought by General Beatson, who for some time held the command of the Bashi Bazouks during the war in the Crimea, against the defendant for slander. The learned gentleman entered at length into the whole of the case, and argued strongly against the verdict being disturbed. Mr. Edwin James has yet to be heard in support of the rule, so it is expected that the decision of the bench will not be given before to-morrow. 61 71 78 82 (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

COHEN V. ISAICS.--.ALLEGED FRAC]) *UPON THE IN SOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-SINGVLAR DISCLOSURES. This was a claim for wages, £5 Bs., and had been ad journed, at defendant's request, in consequence of the ab sence of a material witness, till to-day. On the first occasion Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, stated that defendant having gone through the Insolvent Debtors' Court, had applied to plaintiff to open a shop in plaintiff's name, for the sale of some goods which defendant had hidden from his creditors. There were clothes, watches, rings, and china, the jewellery being of a very massive and costly description, and the total value of the articles being £4OO. i'laintiff opened the shop, but very little was sold, and he now sought to recover his wages. Plaintiff was called and said he had worked 14 years for Meas.'s. Nicolls. Defendant informed witness that hav ing gone through the Court he did not wish to " show," and that he would furnish a drop if witness would carry it on at a salary of £1 per week. Witness agreed, and the goods were fetched from chests in which they had been packed. The watches, rings, and chains were very good and heavy, and, speaking as a man of experience, witness should think they were worth £4OO. Mr. Beard, for defendant, interrupted the witness and said there was not one word of truth in what plaintiff was swearing. This was a most malicious case, and plaintiff was a partner with defendant. If plaintiff, as a partner, knew of this fraud, arid was a partner to it, he could not re cover. 5 7 Some discussion ensued about the rent .book, and Mr. Beard applied for an adjournment under the circumstances stated above ; the money being paid into court. To-day Mr. Buchanan stated that he did not think de fendant would show up. In feet he had tried to square the matter with plaintiff. His Honour thought ho should not hear much more of the case. People found it very uncomfortable to have their insolvency affairs re-examined. Upon the question of costs, his Honour found that Mr. Buchanan was entitled to his fee, and witnesses, and the money was ordered forthwith, as plaintiff stated that de fendant had shut up his shop. The money paid into court was simply defendant's fees. NON-LIABILITY OP PACKERS.-EATON V. GANDELL. This was an action to recover for four dresses alleged to have been supplied as samples to defendant. Mr. George (George and Downing) for defendant elicited that a person named Peacock had ordered the goods, and remarked that defendant was simply a packer, and had nothing to do with the goods. His Honour said—lf Peacock had ordered the goods without defendant's authority, defendant was not liable. Plaintiff must sue Peacock. Verdict for defendant, with costs. POLICE IN7'.ELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Joseph Birdseye Carter, 47, a brushmaker, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting,with intent to do bodily harm, Sarah Heddington, at 8, Little Portland-street; and also with attempting to commit suicide by stabbing himself in Margaret-street. Two certificates, as follows, were handed in by Inspector Garforth, of the E division : " Middlesex Hospital, May 1. " This is to certify that Sarah Heddington was admitted into this hospital, at 12.15 a.m., in consequence of having received a deep punctured wound of the left side. F. S. WORTHINGTON, House-surgeon." "4, High-street, Bloomsbury. " I hereby certify that Joseph Carter has received three small punctured wounds in his left side, inflicted by some blunt instrument. " JOHN WEEICES, Divisional Surgeon." John Clifford, 9, said—Last night, about twelve o'clock, I received information that a woman had been stabbed at a coffeehouse in Little Portland-street, and on going there found the woman had been removed in a cab to the Middle sex Hospital. I followed the cab, and found the woman there, and that she had received a wound in the left breast. I received a certificate (given above). A female, named Sayers, said she saw the prisoner go up to the female and strike her on the breast, but could not say whether the prisoner had anything in his hand. The pri soner ran away, and the female was taken to the hospital. William Henry Allen, a hackney carriage attendant—A few minutes after 12 o'clock, I was on duty in Portland street, and the keeper of the coffee-house, a female, told me the prisoner had stabbed a female. I followed him till he was taken into custody. I saw something in his hand, but cannot say that it was a knife. I asked him to come back, bnt he refused to do so, and said he should go no further, and that he had ly.3en revenged. The instrument I saw afterwards, and it is the shaft of an Italian-iron, pointed. Sergeant Siinmonds, 20 S, said—l assisted in taking prisoner into custody, and on the way I asked whether the female was his wife. He said she was not, but a common prostitute, and had ruined him. I found on the way to the station the instrument pr oduced sticking is his side about three inches below the region of the heart, and on afterwards examining him at the station found three punc tured wounds. The prisoner reserved his defence till the attendance of he injured woman, who is said not to be out of danger. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF LIBEL.—Mr. William Giles, a physician and surgeon in extensive practice, and residing at No. 1, Canton-place, East India-road, Lime • house, applied to Mr. Yardley for a summons against a person named Richard Talbot, calling himself " Dr. Talbot," living at the corner of the Stainsby-road, exactly opposite Mr. Giles's surgery, for a series of foul libels upon him. Mr. Giles, who was accompanied by several members of the faculty, made an apology for interrupting the magis trate in the middle of the night charges, and said the claims of his patients must be his excuse. The magistrate having directed Mr. Giles to proceed, he stated that his worship would no doubt recollect that he applied on Thursday, the 19th of April, for a summons against Richard Talbot for acting as a medical practitioner without being qualified and without being registered under the Medical Act. The case was heard before Mr. Selfe, on Thursday, and that gentler man heard all the evidence for the prosecution and defence, and decided that the case was clearly made out. The defen dant was fined £lO, and he came before the magistrate on Friday and said he was a ruined man, that he was sorry he had acted upon bad advice, and asked for a month's time to enable him to raise the money to pay the fine. The request was granted. He was not sorry that the magistrate had extended some indulgence towards the man, but what he had now to complain of was, that, notwithstanding Talbot's seeming regret and penitence,he had published most infamous and scurrilous libels concerning him (Mr. Giles), calculated to bring him into contempt, to seriously injure him in his profession, and to render him unworthy to mix in respectable society if he did not immediately contradict the insinuations conveyed in the atrocious libels in question, and put the law in motion. He had been attacked in a vile manner by a person who was formerly a schoolmaster, afterwards a Wesleyan preacher, a quack professing Co cure toothache, tic doloureux, and other diseases, by a touch of galvanism, and, lastly, he is found practising medicine and surgery,as Dr. Talbot, although he has no legal qualifi cation, and possesses only a German diploma conferring upon him the degree of doctor of philosophy. Mr. Yardley—Let me see the alleged libels. Mr. Gileshanded to the magistrate a copy of a halfpenny newspaper, published on Saturday last in Poplar, and a printed bill decorated with the Royal Arms, and at the top the motto, " God Defend the Right." This bill had an unmistakeable Seven Dials style about it, and in composi tion and printing was Catnach-ish. After imputing to Mr. Giles that he had been guilty of an indictable offence, and that he was liable to fine and imprisonment, it went on to commend the abilities of " Dr. Talbot, the poor man's friend," enumerated several cures effected by him, and ter minated as follows :—" Neighbours, here's health and long life to Dr. Talbot, and may God bless him." The last three words were printed in large capitals. Mr. Yardley—And you believe you are the William Giles referred to in this bill ? Mr. Giles—l am sure of it, sir. Mr. Yardley then read some doggrel rhyme in the half penny newspaper grossly libelling Mr. Giles ; who said, in reply to the magistrate, that the " horrible disclosures" re ferred to him, and particularly to his character. . _ Mr. Yardlsy—And the words " illiterate,Unqualified, and utterly contemptible," you say, apply to you? Mr. Giles—l do, sir. Perhaps I may be allowed to draw your attention to two lines of the ribaldry in the newspaper applying b me : " I've seen Miss Barton's ghost, a fearful sight, And Gooseling's, too, the baker's pregnant wife." I will explain how this nonsense applies to me. Mr. Yardley—Ncver mind, Mr. Giles ; you have said enough. How do you prove the publication of these libels ? Mr. Giles—Talbot gave out the printed bills himself, and took the copy of the libels in the newspaper to the printer and asked him to publish it in the shape of an advertise ment. Mr. Yardley—You have stated quite sufficient, Mr. Giles. You may have a summons against Talbot for the publica tion of the alleged libels. It is but right to state that Mr. Oiles is named in the " Official Medical Register," published by the General Council of Medical Education and Registration, as a mem ber of the Royal College of Surgeons in England, 1852, and licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, Edin burgh, 1859.

We have the epingline cotelee, a mixture of silk and wool, covered with spots or small flowers of deep colours, almost invariably on a drab ground. The little stripes of black and white mixed are also still in vogue ; the poils de chevre, with small checks formed by silk stripes ; grenadine de laine, with small flowers, summer poplin, grisaill• on black and white mixture, with small crossbars or stripes down ; and, above all, for toilette neg lige, foulard, which, notwithstanding that for the last few years it has been laid aside, is now likely to be ge nerally re-adopted. Then, for visiting dress, we have taffetas with narrow stripes forming checks, and in the centre of each check a; small flower, pink, blue, mauve, &c.; or that which is more generally admired, the small flowers without the cross-crossbars, then the taffe tas antiques Chines, with white stripes, or patterns which are always in favour, and, to a certain de gree, take the place of moire ; the taffetas Pekin, which is a great novelty, &c. ; and, besides these many lighter materials—such as muslins, bereges, organdis, grenadine de soie, jaconas, piques —are now shown in our fashionable houses, though, at present, the season is too cold for us to say " they are worn." Negliges robes of thick material, such as poplin, are made in redingote form, buttoned down the middle or side, and the body a little open in front. Down the fold is placed a row of large buttons, or of bows with a buckle of gold or steel in the centre. Dresses are also very generally made with a band, either with a buckle or ribbon sash. Very wide sleeves are still much worn, though tight sleeves are very fashionable. For dresses of light fabric, the sleeves ale made wide and very open, or in large bouillons. The skirts of these dresses are ornamented with small flounces, not reaching higher than the knee, and bound with a shade of deeper coloured taffetas. If the dress is flowered over the shade must be the same as the flowers. Skirts are also trimmed with one wide flounce, headed by a pinked ruche, with three other niches at the bottom of the flounce. This is a particularly charming style, when the ruche is black, upon a violet green o r brown dress. Straw is to be very much used in trimmings. Dresses are to be embroidered with straw ; velvet and ribbon edged with it ; brandebourgs and passe menteries to be made of it in the same way that gold has been so much used during the winter. Mousselines de soie and English organdi, which resemble crepe lisse and tulle, are in favour for ball dress; flowers, lace, and blcnde are used to orna ment them. Generally robes of tulle, silk, or tarla tan are trimmed with drapery, bordered with a small bouillonne of tulle or tarlatan, edged with a narrow lace or blond, sometimes a narrow but very thick ruche. This is very becoming. Dinner dresses are usually of silk—some have been made of very thick silk—double chain they are called. They are striped Pekin or Pompadour, and made with plain skirts. The body of these must be made low, and one of the pretty fichus, so fashionable now, worn with it. These are some times half-high, crossed in front, and ornamented with black velvet or narrow ribbons. The mantelets and casaques for this spring are mostly ♦ery graceful in form. For the trimming of mantles, &c., lace is always considered elegant, and it is said that gold and straw will be much used. The large and loose paletot, which has been so much worn this winter in cloth, is now made in taffetas, and has a wide flounce, headed with a plaiting, or with three little flounces. If required to be a little more dressy, this flounce can be made of coloured taffetas, covered with black lace, with a ruche of ribbon of the same colour, and narrow black lace mixed, as a heading. The spring bonnets are rather larger than those worn in the winter. They are brought very for. ward on the forehead, and the crowns are sloping or full. The curtains are worn rather smaller. The trimmings, however, are generally heavy. Straw bonnets, which are much worn just now, have generally a soft crown of silk. There is every pretty material for these crowns ; it is black silk, embroidered in coloured silks or straws, or even small gold spots. The curtain should be the same as the crown, and the trimming a bouquet of flowers on one side, to match the embroidery, surrounded with black lace. Other straw bonnets are simply trimmed with a scarf of very wide ribbon, put plainly across, the ends of which are trimmed with red fringe. The caps are over-trimmed generally with flowers or plaits of ♦elvet. A very pretty trimming for a Belgian straw bon net are ruches of white silk, with rose-buds placed in the midst of the ruches, forming rosettes at each side; The strings of white and pink ribbon. White tulle cap, trimmed with rose-buds. Rice straw bonnets, with blonde or small veils, or barbes of tulle and feathers. Leghorn bonnets are generally very simply trimmed. Sometimes a double plait of straw falls over part of the curtain, and forms a bow on the top, like the coiffure Felix. Coloured straw bonnets are also much worn. The most fashionable are green, grey, or black, embroidered in small flowers, either coloured or simply in straw. Dress bonnets are made principally of crape and velvet, or silk, or tulle and silk.

PARIS SPRING RACES. The third day's running of the Spring Meeting in the Bois de Boulogn on Sunday was favoured with splendid weather, and it attracted a gathering of spectators, of which the like has not been witnessed this season, and not very frequently in any other. The Count de Moray and the Minister of State (M. Fould) were present. The Emperor and Empress arrived just before the great event of the day, the running for the. Trial Stakes, com menced, and remained until the close of the proceedings. Both on arriving and departing their Majesties were re ceived with every mark of profound respect, and the crowd outside cheered them loudly. Of the five events on the card, one, the Trial Stakes for 3-yr-olds, excited very great interest among the sporting fraternity, because the colts and fillies who figured in it are destined to run in the Derby. The betting about it was re markably spirited, and must have caused a large amount of money to change hands. The field was numerous, and the race was a pretty one. The first two favourites were Baron Niviere's Pretendant, and Baron N. de Rothschild's Gus • tave. Owing to the marked success of the latter in the Spring event on Sunday week, it was considered advisable to bring over from England Wells, the celebrated jockey, to ride him, and it will be seen that the colt again won. By this success, Baron Rothschild will receive for stakes, en tries, and forfeits upwards of £l,OOO English, an 4 in addi tion his colt will stand higher than before in the betting for the approaching Derby. Before this event, the betting about the Derby was :-8 to 1 aged Baron Niviere's Pre tendant, 10 to 1 agst ditto's Baron, 10 to 1 agst Baron R , thschild's Gustave, and 12 to 1 each agst Count de Lagrange's Angelo, Pierrefonds, and Dangu. The Third Biennial Stakes of 3,000 fr. for colts and fillies foaled in 1857, who are not engaged either in the Trial or Jockey Club (Derby) Stakes. Marquis de MacMahon's Pauvre Here (W. Carter) 1 Baron Niviere's Gisa (C. Pratt) 2 M. Verry's Dame de Compagnie La Belle Chienne and Quaterne also ran. Betting—Even about Gisa, and 3 to 1 agst Dame de Compagnie. Pauvre Here won by three quarters of a length. A length between the second and third. The Haras Stakes of 4,000 fr., for 3.yr-olds and upwards. Entry 100 fr. Baron Niviere's f Geologie, 4 yrs, :20 lbs ....(C. Pratt) 1 Ditto's Gouvieux, 5 yrs, 123 lbs M. Lupin's Precurseur, 4 yrs, 117 lbs 0 Count F. de Lagrange's Lysiscote, 4 yrs, 105 lbs 0 Betting-3 to lon Geologie, sto 1 agst Lysiscote, sto 1 agst Gouvieux. Lysiscote went away first, but at the first turning was caught by Geologie, who had been lying second. She made all the rest of the running, and won cleverly. Lysiscote was beaten at the top of the hill, near the Chateau, and Precurseur in the straight. The Trial Stakes of 5,000 f., added to I,ooof. entry for colts and fillies foaled in 1857. Forfeit 600 f., and 500 f. only if declared two days before the race. Weight, colts 108 lbs, fillies 105 lbs. The second to receive 2,000 f. from the entries. Distance, about 1,500 metres. 13 entries. Baron N. de Rothschild's Gustave Count do Morny's Violette M. Lupin's Cellarius .. 3 The following also ran :—Archiduchesse, Croquemitaine, Pretendant, Gouverneur, Angelo, Aboukir, and Ganzlin Betting-3 to 1 agst Gustave, 3to 1 agst Pretendant, to 1 agat Cellarius, 5 to 1 agst Angelo, 5 to 1 agst Gceuzlitt, 6 to 1 agst Archiduchesse, 8 to 1 agst Croquemitaine, 10 to 1 agst Violette, 10 to 1 agst Gouverneur, 10 to 1 agst Aboukir. There was very groat difficulty in effect ing a start (it took place from opposite the stands), and when at last the flag was dropped, Angelo went a-aay first, Archiduchesse and Croquemitaine going into close waiting on him. Towards the turning at the top the last two fell off, Aboukir strode on to the second place, and Cellarius to the third. On going round the top Cellarius placed himself between Angelo and Aboukir. In the straight a complete change of position occurred ; Gustave, who had got off last but two, but had been constantly gaining ground, went to the front with a rush, and proceeded to cut out the work in gallant style. Near the distance Violette came up from the ruck, and Count Lagrange's two disappeared; Cellarius, however, maintained his position. A fine race home ended by Gus tava being landed the winner by a length; and Violette, who was second, beat Cellarius by two lengths.—The jockeys of Croquemitaino and. Aboukir were fined for hav ing by their impatience delayed the start.—The success of Gustave was loudly applauded. CITY BETTING-YESTERDAY The Racing Times says there was a large attendance at all the sporting localities, and a great deal of business was doing. Many of the general bookmakers, however, had left for Chester. A good deal was doing on the events of the first day at Chester. For the Chester field Stakes Ben Webster and Golden Pippin wore each supported for some money, and 4 to I was taken about each of them.

Lord LUCAN said, in consequence of a communication from the Commander-in Chief, he should postpone his intention of calling the attention of their lordships to the force and organisation of the infantry until Friday next. THE GRAVES AT SEnASTOPOL. The Earl of CA.THCART gave notice of his intention, on an early day, to ask the Government what steps they intended to take to prevent the further desecration of the graves of the British soldiers in the Crimea. SMITHFIELD MARKET. _ _ Lord EBURY rose to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to be pleased to direct that the vacant site of Smithfield should be ap propriated in such a manner as would conduce to the health and recreation of the inhabitants of the neighbour hood. His lordship said that before Easter the house had been informed that the Government would not oppose th• project of building over the late Smithfield Market. He had heard the announcement with very much regret, as it was of the utmost importance in a city like London that every vacant space should be left open. He trusted that the Government would reconsider the decision they had arrived at, because the effect of building on the site of Smithfield would be throwing away an opportunity that would perhaps never occur again of forming a place of recreation and amusement for the in:unease numbers of the poorer classes resident in the vicinity. The authorities of St. Bar tholomew's Hospital were strongly opposed to the erection of buildings thereon, because they were of opinion that the result of so doing would be to render the air very impure, which was a matter of a serious nature to the patients of the institution. The Corporation of London seemed determined to erect a dead meat market on the portion of the site over which they had control, but in the event of such an intention being carried out, all the evils that were so loudly complained of formerly would be revived. Dr. Lethaby in his report alluded very pointedly to the desira bility of having open spaces in the city, as it was stated in his report that the mortalityamongst the children in three of the districts, which at present was very great, would have been more had it not been for the open spaces in the western district. He hoped sincerely the Government would recon sider the determination they had arrived at. (Hear, hear.) Earl GRA.NVILLE, who was nearly inaudible in the gallery, was understood to say that as a compromise had been entered into by the Government and the Corporation of London, who had claimed the whole of the site, and that compromise had been embodied in a bill which was now before Parliament, the proper time to discuss the matter would be when the bill came before their lordships. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said the answer of the noble earl was very unsatisfactory. He thought the appropriating any portion of the site for a dead meat mar - ket was highly objectionable, as it clearly appeared to be the desire of the City authorities to profit at the expense of their poorer fellow eitizens. (Hear, hear.) He looked upon a dead meat market as a great nuisance—as a knacker's yard—as the smells that would arise in the sum mer months would be perftetly insufferable. It had been said that very few of the butchers died from the effects of the impurities of the meat markets—that might be true, because they got plenty of good beef every day, which was the best way to prevent any such results, but the poorer portion were not in a position to obtain that kind of food, and as far as they were concerned the werst results were certain to arise. What ought to be done was to plant the the site with shrubs and lay the ground out with ghavel walks, and thus give the poor what they did not possess at present, a place of enjoyment and recreation. Much of the intoxication of the metropolis was mainly owing to the want of places of recreation, and if the sanitary comfort of the poor was better looked after, their moral condition would be sure to improve. Earl GRANYILLE said there seemed to be some mis apprehension on this subject. The Government were cer tainly not opposed to making pleasure-grounds for the recreation of the poorer classes, and he hoped his noble friend would postpone the discussion until the bill he had alluded to was before the house. Lord EBURY said a few words in reply, and then with drew the notice. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Lord CLANCARTY 'novel for a copy of an address, presented in 1859, from the Irish Roman Catholic bishops, to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, regarding the national system of education in that country—a copy of the answer of the Lord Lieutenant—and a copy of the reply of the bishops. He contended that the system had failed to pro cure a proper attendance of children—failed to secure the sympathies of the people—and that, in fact, the attendance was not increasing, but decreasing. It had failed also to secure the sympathies of the Protestant or Roman Catholic clergy. The Earl of CORK said the noble lord was inaccurate as to the unpopularity of the system and as to the decreasing attendance of children. The attendance had increased gra dually but continuously, from the establishment of the sys tem until now. The Bishop of CASHEL, in the name of the clergy of the Protestant church with whom he acted in his diocese, thanked her Majesty's present Government for their adhe• rence to the system of national education in Ireland. The Earl of CARLISLE said he did not propose to enter into the general question as to the duty of supporting the system of national education in Ireland, because that ques tion was so momentous that if brought forward at all it should be founded on some specific and determinate issue. The opinions of her Majesty's Government upon the subject had been very fully and clearly stated in a paper which was moved for by a right hon. gentleman in the other house, and with whom he was proud to act as his colleague in Ireland. The noble earl who had made the motion to-night had asked the question whether it was really true that her Ma jesty's Government meant to introduce no change into the system of national education in Ireland, and his answer to that question was, that it was the firm intention of her Majesty's Government both in England and Ireland to ad here to the principles upon which they had uniformly acted with respect to the system of national education in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) And for himself he might say that by reason of his long connection—though not unbroken-- with Ireland, he had always been led to feel a great interest in this most important subject. Those principles, as he un derstood and maintained them, gave advantages for the obtaining of as good a secular education as could be pro cured by any who were willing to receive it, and it gave to all opportunities and facilities for specific religious instruc tion, without compulsory religious instruction to any. The Government felt that instruction in religion upon those duties which should regulate the conduct of persons in life and inspire hopes for hereafter were of too high and im portant, and indeed paramount, a nature, to be imparted except with the full consent and authority of the parents. The noble earl said it was patent to all that in holding out those principles they had with great regret found themselves bound to oppose the views entertained by many of the most excellent prelates of the Established Church ; and of late it had been equally notorious that they had been obliged to act in opposition to the views of a large body of the prelates of tke Roman Catholic Church. The adhesion of the Go vernment to the main system and leading principles of national education in Ireland would be, he hoped, main tained unimpaired. But if at any time, either from one side or the other, there should be laid before the Government propositions which should not be inconsistent with the prin ciples which he had laid down, the Government would be always willing to give them a fair and candid consideration. If, however, any proposition sho uld be opposed to the vital principle of it. the change would the Government would not be made without a prior enN p o re e s h en an t communication to Parliament. He (the Earl o f C ar li s l e) did not know that he was justified in bringing it under the notice of their lordships, but he could not refrain on this occasion from expressing his deep satisfaction that that ad mirable prelate, before he finally closed his career amidst the respect and the love of all who had watched its long continuance, had been able to bequeath to the Church which he had upheld and adorned, such a legacy of peace, wisdom, and charity. Viscount LIFFORD expressed his approval of the na tional system, but found fault with the judgment some times exercised by the board. The Bishop of DERRY defended the national system of education in Ireland, to carry out which he was appointed one of the commissioners. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE thought that the Go vernment were quite:right in refusing to accede to the prayer of [the petition of the Roman Catholic bishops in this matter. The Earl of CLANCARTY replied, and the motion was agreed to. SAVOY. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked if there waeto be a conferenee of the European Powers on the question of Savoy. Lord WODEHOUSE said that the question w* not yet definitely settled. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YEsTELDAY.) The SrzexEß took the chair at four o'cloo-:. PRIVATE BUSIN2ss.
