M(..)1 31A 7 'ITT NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts mention that, during the past week, there has been very little activity in most branches of business, Owing to the uncertainty that prevails with respect to the alterations proposed by the Budget, and also by the Commercial Treaty with France. The deal ingE the woollen market at Leeds have been nn important, and but few transactions have been re portedin piece goods and yarns at Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield. In Leicester the woollen and also the cotton hosiery manufacturers have been less active. At Manchester there has been an ab sence of demand for India goods, and for the home markets scarcely any transactions have been entered into. In the iron trade of Soxth Staffordshire there has been very little variation, and at Bir mingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton most traders are waiting the result of the debate on the Budget before entering into extensive opera tions. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a fair amount of business was transacted at full rates. The sales were estimated at about 7,500 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, but prices were well supported. The tendency of monetary affairs continues favourable, the applications for discount in the general market as well as at the Stock Exchange indicating an important diminution in the demand. Easier terms are now charged for the negotiation of approved descriptions of mercantile securities, and the specie movement being mere satisfactory, a further decline may be shortly announced. The transactions in the English Stock Market to-day have been rather restricted, owing to the in disposition of the speculators to enter into large transactions until the result of the Budget shall have been ascertained. Consols, however, opened buoyantly at 941 I for money, and at 941 i for the account, and they continue firm. New Three per Cents. are firm, at 94/ 95 ; the Reduced at 95 ; In dia New Loan has improved to 1031 b ; ditto De bentures are a shade flatter, viz., 971 f, and Exche quer Bills are steady, at 235. to 265. prem. The dealing in the Foreign Stock Market have been exceedingly limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are nominally 79 to 791, and the New ditto have been dealt in at 661 I, while the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed are 101 t. Spanish 3 per Cents. 45, and the _Passive 111 12. South American Stocks are neglected. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been limited, with scarcely any variation of importance in prices. Eastern Counties and Lan cashire and Yorkshire have declined 55., and Lon don and Blackwall 10s. Great Northern, Manches ter, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton have advanced ss. ; and South- Eastern 10s. In the. Foreign Market prices remain nominally unaltered, no dealings having been recorded. The Colonial Lines are dull, but realise former ra_ tee. Ea s t Indi an an d G rea t I n di an P en i nsu l a, however, are a shade firmer. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have bean dealt in to a fair extent at about former rata e. , BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 11 ink Stock . 3 Per Cent.

There was a steady, but by no means active, demand for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices were well supported. The barley trade ruled firm, at extreme rates. All other kinds of spring corn, including dour, sold at full currencies. Throughout the Continent wheat has been in somewhat improved request, and a fair average business has been passing in all spring corn at extreme rates. In the United States wheat, flour, and Indian corn have onamanded rather more money. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. From abroad the imports were limited, viz., 1,642 qrs. of wheat, 6,134 barley, 6,4 M oats, 68 beans, 958 peas, 747 tares, and 130 sundry seeds. A very moderate supply of English wheat came fresh to hand today, coastwise and by land carriage. The general condition of the samples exhibited a further improvement ; hence, the demand for both red and white qualities ruled steady at fully last Monday's currency ; indeed, in some instances, very fine samples were the turn dearer. Millers, however, operated with much caution. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. On the whole, rather more business was transacted in good and useful qualities, but without leading to any change in price. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full quotations. The barley trade was very firm, and there was an improved inquiry for sowing qualities, at extreme rates. The supply on offer was only moderate. New malt was in moderate request on former rates; but old parcels were very dull and lower to purchase. We had a steady consumptive demand for oats, and good sound corn was 6d. per quarter dearer. Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady re quest at full quotations. The flour trade was firm at extreme rates. CAIREANCT PER IMPERIAL MIAERRE.

For the time of year about an average number of beasts came fresh to hand from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland. Their general quality, however, was by no means first-rate. For most breeds there was a steady. though not to say active, demand, at last Monday's cur rency. The extreme value of the best Scots and crosses was 44 10d per 81bs. 47 COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Dir. Commissioner Goulbourn.) From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,000 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of England 150 of various breeds ; from Scotland 450 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 120 oxen and heifers. There was only a moderate number of sheep on offer. The mutton trade was firm, at prices fully equal to last week— some prime Downs having reali,ed 5s 10d per Sibs. About 200 shorn sheep were on offer, and they sold at 10d per 81bs beneath those in the wool. The few lambs in the market clanged hands at from es 2d to as 10d per albs. We have again to report a firm trade for veal, at very full prises. The show of calves was very limited. Pigs moved off somewhat steadily, at full quotations. Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

LA 1V IN= LLIGEN CE.—( This Day.) IN RN HOBBS ♦ND TILLNY.-IMPONTANT APPLICATION. Mr. Lawrence applied that a solicitor's bill might be ad mitted as a proof in the estate of these bankrupts. The bill was for work done for the bankrupts—two common law actions and other business. Mr. Lawrence asked that the proof might be admitted before the final dividend. The Commissiozer said if he did it now, ho must do it always. It was bad enough for any one to neglect business of this kind, but for a professional man to neglect it was un pardonable. Mr. Lawrence observed that professional men generally were very particular about the business of their clients, and careless about their own interests. (Laughter.) The Commissioner did not quite agree with this, and asked for the bill. Upon looking over it the Commissioner said it had only been taxed a few days ago, and that though it amounted to £35, only one stamp was cash out of pocket. It was made up of six and eightpences and thirteen and fourpences. The creditor here retaarked there were two common law actions. The Commissioner—Before I can admit the claim I must examine the baikrupts about this bill. The matter was then adjourned till Wednesday. This was an action to recover £6 6s. for some fare, in trusted by defendant to sell by auction. £1 Os. 6d. had been paid into Court. Mr. Buchanan called plaintiff, who said he had sent the furs to defendant, and gave strict orders that they should not be sold under the reserved price. Plaintiff's wife was put into the box, and a letter, writ ten by her to defendant was put into her hand. In it she directed the defendant not to buy in at Is. or 2s. within the price fixed. His Honour held that this was no reserve. Mr. Buchanan then called a witness, who left the furs and a paper of prices, but defendant's clerk said that he distinctly told this witness that it was against defendant's iale to reserve. His Honour found for defendant, and recommended plaintiff to consult Mr. Buchanan before he sent any more goods. Mr. Buchanan said he could hardly understand how there could be such a discrepancy between £5 6s. and £1 9s. Defendant said the furs wore sold at their value. Verdict for defendant. SOLD OR GIVEN ?---IfIDDISON V. DAWSON% This was a claim of £4 4s.—X2 2s. for one perambulator, and £2 2s. for a table, entrusted to defendant, and not re turned. Mr. Edwards called the plaintiff and his brother. They swore that defendant had been asked for the money for the perambulator, and that he had no authority to part with the table. Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, said that the perambu lator was a gift, and that the table had been left upon ap probation with a customer. Defendant said ho had never been asked for the money for the perambulator, and since it had been given to him his wife had bought another and paid for it. Hie Honour found for defendant, and Mr. Buchanan promised that defendant should assist plaintiff in getting back the table. Costs allowed. POLICE INTELLIGENOB-(THIS DIY.) UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER. —Daniel Redding, a stout-built, rough-looking fellow, was charged Moro Mr. Bcadon with the following as saults : Mr. James Cooper, of the Boot, Wells-street, Oxford street, said that a few minutes before 12 on Saturday night he went into the tap-room with the ♦iew clearing it, when the prisoner, who was sitting with some compa nions, began insulting him, and then threw a quart pot about half full of beer at him, but fortunately it did not strike him. Ile (Mr. Cooper) retreated to the bar when the prisoner followed him with his companions, and they all made an attack upon him, and he believed if assistance had not come to his aid he would have been killed, so vio lent were his assailants. The prisoner gave him several violent blows about the head and face, one of which had caused his lips to be much swollen. The prisoner made use of very abusive language towards him all the while the attack was going on. The others managed to escape. James Wibley, who went to Mr. Cooper's assistance, said the prisoner struck him three or four times, and on getting Mr. Cooper away from the prisoner he also received a severe blew on the cheek. Another person, a Mr. Pick ford, who also went to Mr. Cooper's assistance, was assulted by the prisoner. Mr. Inspector Petters said the prisoner had bean before charged with assaults. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner what he had to say to going into a man's house, and when at the proper hour ho asked hint to leave, knocked him about in this manner. He should fine him S 5 or two months. TILE ORIGIN OF " TILE GREY IMRE ' I A writer in Bell's Life says :—A London citizen married a lady with face and fortune, and found in a very short time that he had got " stuck" with his bargain, so that he was resolved to part with her. Accordingly he went to the lady's father, and told him be found his daughter of such a temper, and was so heartily tired of her, that if he would take her home again he would return every penny of her for tune. The old gentleman having inquired into the cause of his complaint, asked him why he should be more disquieted than other married men, since it was the common case with them all, and conse quently no more than he ought to have expected when he entered into the marriage state ? The young gentleman desired t o b e excuse d ; h e sa id h e was so far from giving assent to this assertion that he thought himself more unhappy than any other man, as his wife would ride over him, and was not to be quelled ; and no man who had a sense of right and wrong would submit to be governed by his wife. " My son," said the old man, " thou little knowest the world, and that all women ride over their hus bands, though not all indeed after the same fashion. However, to find all disputes between us, I will put what I have said on thi s proo f , i f you are w i lling to try it :—I have five horses in my stable ; you shall harness these to a cart, in which I shall put a basket and 100 eggs, and if, in passing through the country, and making a strict inquiry into the truth or false • hood of my assertion, and leaving a hcrse at the house of every man who is master of his family him self, and an egg only where the wife governs, you find your eggs gone bef ore y our h orses, I h ope you will give it in, and remain content with your lot. If, on the other hand, your horses are gone first, I will take my daughter ho me aga i n, an d you s h a ll k eep t h e rhino." This proposition being all " upon the square," the young married man started with great glee upon his tour of discovery to " get shot," as he thought, of his horses and his wife. At the first house he came to, he heard a woman with a shrill angry voice call to her husband and order him to the door. Here he dropt his egg, and at the next, and meeting with some of the same kind at every house, he soon began to get short of eggs. At last he arrived at the seat of a gentleman of family and figure in the country, and inquiring for the master, was told by the servant that be was not yet stirring, but if he pleased to walk in my lady was in the parlour. The lady, with great complaisance, desired him to be seated, and said if his business was very urgent she would arouse her lord, but had much rather not disturb him. "Why, really, madam," said he, "my business is only to ask a question, which you can resolve as well as your husband, if you will be ingenuous with me.. You will, doubtless, think it odd, and it may be deemed impolite for . any one, much more a stranger, to ask such a question, but as a very considerable wager depends upon it, and it may be some advantage to yourself to declare the truth to me, I hope these consider at i ons w i ll plead my excuse. It is, madam, to desire to be in formed whether you govern you r husband, or h e governs you ?" " Indeed, sir," replied the lady, "this question is somewhat odd, but, as I think no one ought to be ashamed of their duty, lL shall make no scruple to say that I have been always proud to obey my husband in all th ings; but, if a woman's own word is to be suspected in such a case, let him answer for me, for here he comes." The gentleman at that moment entered the room, and, aft er some apologies, being made acqua inted with the business, confirmed every word his obedient wife had re• ported in her own favour ; upon which he was in vited to select which horse in the team he liked best, and accept it as a present. A black gelding struck the fancy of the gentleman most, lnit the lady desired he would choose the grey mare, which she thought would be very fit for her side saddle; her husband gave substantial reasons why the black horse would be most useful to them, but my lady still per sisted in her claim, and stuck to the grey mare like a burr. " What," said she, "and will you not take her, then ? But I say you shall, for lam sure the grey mare is much the better horse." " Well, my dear," replied the husband, "if it must be so--!" " You must take an egg," replied the young gentleman, " Carter and I must take all my nags back again, and return to my wife as wise as Waltham's calf, who went nine miles to suck a bull, and came home more thirsty than when he went."

HOUSE OF LDRDS—(Tuis EVENING.) The Lou) CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at ire o'clock. THE NEW TREATY. Lord EBURY presented a petition from Spitalfielde against the free importation of French silk. CHURCH RATES. A great number of petitions were presented in favour of church rates. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the mofdon of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Maidstone Water; Great Northern and Western (Ireland) Railway; Eaubrink Drainage; Auehterarder Common Muir, Hamilton and Strathavon Railway; Maidstone, Rochester, and Coltham Water; Athenry and Tuam Railway; Brompton, Chat ham, and Gillingham, &c., Water; and the Kilkenny Junction Railway. ENDOWED SCHOOLS. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH gave notice that in bringing up the report of the committee on the endowed schools, he should move a clause to the effect that educa tion in those schools be limited to the terms conformable to the Church of England. VOLUNTEER CORPS. Lord VIVIAN, referring to hisspee;ll on this subject, delivered a few evenings ago, said it was scarcely judicious of the Government to pay adjutants for volunteer corps, and not pay drill sergeants. It was of the greatest importance that good drill sergeants should be se cured, and he ventured to ask his noble friend (the Earl of Ripon) to reconsider his determination on the point. He thought the services of the volunteers would not become permanent without the Government acted in a more liberal manner towards them. The Earl of RIPON said he was unable to give the noble lord any other answer than he had given on the evening in question. It was the intention of the Government to mass the different corps into battalions, but flat force them to come together for battalion drill. In the event of their being called out for active service, it would be necessary to form them into battalions, and for this it was advisable to orga nise them into battalions, and government intended to ap point a paid adjutant to each battalion, which the Govern ment thought was the best step they could take at the pre sent moment. THE INDIA PRIZE MONEY. Lord BE laER.7g n;;;edfO7copy Of aclSspaich, in July, 1858, signifying the approval of the late Board of India Directors to the regvaations proposed by the Governor-Ge neral on the subject of the Delhi prize money, and all sub sequent correspondence which may tend to explain the delay which has tqko n place in satisfying the just expecta tions of the army vrhich effected the capture of the city. The noble also inquired into the cause ef delay in distribut ing the medals and clasps granted by her Majesty for tho capture of Delhi. The Duke of ARGYLE said there could be no objection on the part ef the Government to produce the whole of the despatches moved for by the noble lord. The noble duke assured the noble earl that there was nothing that could be in the slightest degree construed into indifference on the part of the Governor-General with respect to the brilliant services rendered by the army in India. With respect t o th e me d a l s he had great pleasure in informing him that the medals were being struck off, and would very shortly be distri buted. Earl of ELLIINBOROUGH said as far as he could learn the Royal assent had not been given for the distribu tion of any part of the Delhi prize money. Lord BE PIERS did not impute blame to the Govern ment, but it was certain blame rested somewhere. The motion was then agreed to. THE TREATY OF COMMERCE. The Earl of DER BY rose to inquire what steps the Go vernment intended to take to carry into effect the 20th ar ticle of the Treaty of Commerce lately entered into by this country with France, and said, although he had only given notice to ask a question relative to the article, he should be excused, as the subject was of such importance, if he made a few observations. The 20th article was in somewhat unusual terms, viz., " The present treaty shall not be valid unless her Britannic Majesty shall be authorised by the assent of her Parliament to execute the arrangements contracted by her in the articles of the treaty." lie thought at first the article had been inserted for the purpose of enabling the Parliament to discuss the articles of the treaty with better grace, but on referring to the French version of the troaly he also found it there. On that occasion it was not his intention to enter at length into the various subjects contained in the treaty, neither was it his intention to inquire whether or not it was in accord ance with the theoretical principles of free trade, as he felt there would be other occasions when such a subject could be much better discussed. (Hear, hear.) The noble earl then proceeded to read portions of a speech made on the 21st of July, 1859, by the First Lord of the Treasury, in which the principle of making a bargain be tween the two countries for convenient purposes was con demned. He did not disapprove of the principle of recipro city treaties, but such treaties were diametrically opposed to the principle the noble lord had heard done iu the speech he had just quoted. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches). (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tuis EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Coln River Water; Conway, Llanrwst, and Bettws:y Cocd Railway; Denhigh, Ruthin, and Corwen Railway; Egham and Woking Railway; Llyfni Vale Railway and Harbour; Macclosfield Gas; Manchester and Milford Railway; Sovereign Life Assurance Company; St ,ekporL - , Disley, and Whaley Bridge Railway; Tewkesbury, Upton upon-Severn and Malvern Junction Railway; Westmins ter Improvements ; Ulster Railway and Corporation of Belfast; and 'Wellington (Saloy) Water.) PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of and against the commercial treaty with Franee, against the uneendi tional repeal of church rates, against licensing coffee-shop keepers to sell wine and beer, and in favour of the repeal of the duty on paper. BERWICK ELECTION, 1859—INCOME TX Mr. BRIGHT p resented a petition from the NorthernA Reform Union praying for an inquiry into a compact which had been entered into between Mr. Marj( ribanks and the two members who lad been returned at the election for that borough in 1859. The hon. member also presented a petition from merchants and manufacturers of Birmingham, complaining of the income tax, and regretting that the ex travagant expenditure of the country should render the tax necessary. TIMBER DUTIES. Lord J,RUSSELL prevented a petition from merchants of tioa of the house to the subject, with a view to afford hon. members an opportunity of expressing their opinions as to the propriety of proceeding with the works. - PASSES, &c. Sir C. NAPIER asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether a circular had been issued forbidding officers to give passes out of the sea port town ; and whether the Cap tein of the Princess Royal asked permission to give passes, and was reproved for so doing ? Lord C. PAGET said that, except in special cases, the passes alluded to would not be granted. THE CASE OF GIOVANNI PORPA. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if he had inquired into the truth of the allegations contained in the petition of Giovanni Porpa, a naturalised British subject, presented on the 26th day of January last, complaining of wrongs in flicted upon him by the Neapolitan Government ; and, if proved to be true, wheth er h e h a d taken any steps to obtain the petitioner redress. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the party, being only a naturalised British subject, the Government could not in terfere. SALE OF BEER AND WINE. Mr. E. JAMES asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he was prepared to state the course her Majesty's Government intend to pursue with reference to the grant ing of licenses for the sale of beer and wine by retail to the keepers of refreshment houses, as indi cated by Resolution No. 15, to be proposed in com mittee of NVIYS and means ; and whether he still intended to propose that resolution to the committee ? Mr. GLADSTONE said that he had been waited on by , a deputation of licensed victuallers, a portion of which con sidered that there should be no alteration in the system of licensing places for the sale of wine. Another action con sidered that there might be such an alteration as would enable those who now could be licensed to sell beer to ob tain licenses for the sale of wine, which would b 3 subject to the discretion of the magistrates; and there was another section of the deputaton who entertained a further diversity of opinion. He assured hon. members that they would not be called on to vote on this subject, until thoy had received every information as to the intention of the Government. THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. On the motion for going into committee on the Customs' Acts, Mr. DU CANE withdrew the following motion which stood on the pa?er " That this house, recognising the necessity of providing for the increased expenditure of the coming financial year, is of opinion that it is not expedient to add to the existing deficiency by diminishing the ordinary revenue, and is not prepared to disappoint the just expectations of the country by reimposing the income tax at au unnecessarily high rate." He explained that he had adopted that course in conse quence of his right hon. friend (Mr. Disraeli) having given notice for that evening of a motion of a similar character. However, when that motion was disposed of, he would again bring forward h s motion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI then rose to move the following amend ment :—" That this house does not think fit to go into com mittee on the Customs Acts, with a view to the reduction or repeal of the duties referred to in the treaty of commerce between her Majesty and the Emperor of the French, until it shall have considered and assented to the engagements in that treaty." After some preliminary observations, the right hon. gentleman said he did not on that occasion wish to express any opinion as to the merits of the commercial treaty. The party with whom he acted considered that it was incumbent on them to adopt the step which he was now taking. The Government proposed a large reduction in the duties, in the face of a large deficit, which, :if they were successful would be still farther re duced. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches.) It was no doubt a hazardous experiment. Besides, they were called on to consider the treaty with France, a subject the most important that had ever been brought before the how e in the way it had been by the right hon. member the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He contended that that right hon. gentleman had acted erroneously in mixing up the question of the treaty with that of the general finances of the country. These matters should have been kept distinct and separate, and before they had been called to discuss the financial statement of the right hon. gentle man, the treaty should have been submitted to them to be fully debated. The course pursued was without precedent, and introduced a dangerous innovation, which they were called :on to interfere with as soon as possible, first place the house called on to approve or disapprove of its provision. That was a recognition of the con stitutional privileges of the house, and he warned la( n members not to allow their privileges to degenerate into mere formalities, Though we could not do better than to follow those precedents which the wisdom of their ancestors had furnished them. lie referred to the treaty of com merce between France and England in 1786. [LEFT SPEAKING.] SP ORTIIV & NO7 ES. THE NOTTINGHAM MEETING. Those who invested on Curlew and Tommy Noble last weak were not sorry that the frost interfered with the plans and diversions of the " milkers." Still much disappointment was experienced by those persons who had brought horses a long dis tance to compete for the different stakes, and who watched the skiey influences with no little anxiety and impatience. Still the stewards had no alterna tive; they were compelled to abandon the meeting, which has been appointed to take place next week, when I hope that the committee will have better luck. At my present waiting a probability exists that the Nottingham sport may be impracticable. The frost throughout the country is still very severe, marring alike the pleasures of the chase, the coursing field, and the racecourse. The uncer tainty, therefore, which exists induces me to briefly dismiss the items contained in Mr. Bradfield's pro gramme, for it would be useless to occupy space by an attempt to arrive at conclusions on a subject on which nothing may be concluded. Should the appointed sport take place, I shall place my trust in Ambush and Prince of Orange for the Nottingham Handicap. Job has a light weight, and report says he will be dangerous. For the Innkeepers' Plate I shall select Accurate and The Dane, and for the Stand Plate I am sweet on Spicebox, and for the Forest Plate Lord Berkeley, Julie and Fern Leaf are most to my fancy. The Two-year-Old race will perhaps be won by Little Lady. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1860. FEBRUARY.

Two Greeks of f , eledo, in 1588, made an experiment with it before Charles. . They descended in it with a lighted candle to a consi derable depth. In 1683 William Phipps, the son of a black smith, formed a project for unloading- a rich Spanish ship, sunk on the coast of Hispaniola. Charles 11. gave him a ship, with every necessary fur his undertaking, but being unsuccessful, he returned in great poverty. He then en deavoured to procur e ano th er vesse l , b ut tailing, he got a. subscription, to whi c h th e D u k e o f Albemarlecontributed. In 1687, Phipps set sa il i n a s hi p o f 230 t o ns, having pre viously engaged t o di v id e t h e p ro fit s according to the 20 shares of which the s u bscription consisted. At first, all his labours proved fruitless ; but at last, when he seemed almost to despair, he was fortunate enough to bring up s o muc h treasure that he returned to England with £IIO,COO. Of this sum ho got about 110,090, and the duke £93,000. Phipps was knighted by the King, and laid the foundation of the f)rtunes of the presort Marquis of Normanbv, the City of London, praying for the aboliti on o f th e d uties on tiuibor , and in favour of the passing of the commercial treaty with France. Mr. BROCKLEHURST presented a petition from the operatives employed in the silk mannfactures of Maccles field, praying that if tho silk goods of. France and the continent are to be admitted free of all duty, that British silk goods be admitted free into France, and that this union will insist on this measure of justice to labour. The presentation of petitions occupied more than an hour. CLEANSING THE SERPENTINE. Sir J. SIIELLEY gave notice that as soon as the re port of the commission to inquire into the cleansing of the Serpentine was laid on the table he woull call the atten _ 41 proceeding wile COALS, CINDERS, CULM, &c. Mr. H. H. VIVIAN moved for accounts of the quantities of coals, cinders, and culm, and patent fuel, shipped at the several ports of England, Scotland, and Ireland, coastways, to other ports of the United Kingdom, in the ye a r 1859 ; di s ti ngu i s h ing the quantity shipped at each of the said ports as compared with the year 1858, &c.—Ordered. CINNA MON, &c. Mr. HANKEY moved for a return of the total quanti ties (producing countries not required) of cinnamon, cloves, mace, nutmegs, and pepper taken for home consumption in the United Kingdom for thirty years past, giving the rate of duty payable on eaoh article in each year.—Ordered. DWELLINGS FOR LABOURING CLASSES (ILAND) Sir W. SOMERVIELE RE moved for leave to bring in a bill to extend the act to facilitate the improvement of landed property in Ireland, and the acts amending the same, to the erection of dwellings for the labouring classes in Ireland.—Agreed to. _ `i ~ (,
