"We do not know of any living author whose works command snore general approval than those of Mr. Maxwell ; and, in this very ively romance of real life, the fountain of his genuine Hibernian humour tows on as uninterruptedly as ever. Captain O'Sullivan's career abounds with adventure, in which peril and broad fun, mirth and mischief, run hand in hand. Never was the light, mercurial, rollicking, devil-may-care temperament, that it has become the fashion to attribute to the sons of the Irish soil, better pourtrayed than In this work."—Dublin Evening Packet.

The attention of the House of Commons was, on Wednesday, called by Sir DE LACY Everrs to the claims of old officers in the army to rewards, and the neglect to which they have hitherto been subjected. A more fitting time for bringing forward the subject could not have been selected than that at which a boon justly due to the gallant veterans of the sister service is about to be granted. It is far from our intention to say one word in dis paragement of our naval officers; indeed, anything uttered against that distinguished body would inevitably recoil on the speaker, but we may say, that the services of the old war officers of the army may claim a comparison with those of any men in the world. Those veterans of the Peninsula, whose gallantry, whose invincible bravery through a series of years, under the most arduous and trying circumstances, led to the final success of our arms, to the happy termination of hostilities, burn under a deep sense of injustice, of unmerited neglect. Their more fortunate brethren 'who were present at Waterloo, many of whom had not seen the tenth part of the service of those who had for years stood the brunt of the war fare on the blood-red fields of Spain, received the mar ks pf a nation's gratitude—tbe cheap distinction —which, while it cost but little to the donors, con ferred the highest gratification, the noblest, the proudest feelings on the receivers. It may be said that persons who have only discharged the duty they owed to their country have no right to ex pect any extraordinary mark of gratitude on the part of the nation, that medals would no longer be valued if they were conferred on every occasion ; in fact, that they should be confined to the com memoration of great events. This may be partly true, but when medals have been so often distributed of late years, when those who fought in China and in India are permitted to wear the much coveted decorations, for services certainly not more arduous or more distinguished, surely the Peninsular heroes have a right to demand that they shall be placed on a footing of equality, and that the badge of honour, which may fairly be looked upon as the expression of satisfaction, on the part of the nation, for the manner in which they conducted themselves while actively employed, shell no longer be withheld. This moderate demand his, of lata years, hA7n reputedly put forward, and molt ably urged, In th 3 coign of last year Mr. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1846. GRATTAN, formerly an officer of the 88th, or ' Connaught Rangers, put forward a most ad mirable and unanswerable pamphlet on be half of those who, like himself, had participated in that glorious campaign; he urged the brilliant triumphs they had achieved, the unceasing good conduct, the skill and bravery they exhibited on all occasions, which made them the wonder and ad miration of the world, and he indignantly remon strated on the contumely and neglect with which they were treated. We venture to say that a perusal of that gentleman's work will bring con viction to any unprejudiced mind, and satisfactorily establish the necessity of according to the survivors the well-earned, the richly-deserved distinction. It is not because a long period has elapsed—that many years have passed away since those services were rendered—that the nation should still withhold the honour. The statute of limita tions is the last plea that should -be put for ward by a Government ; the only-e'reason that such a defence is ever permitted is, that other wise the person called on to answer a demand might suffer serious injury from his means of justifi cation being lost by the lapse of time, but it has ever been considered as reflecting a certain degree of dis credit on the person making use thereof. Why, then, should the British nation meet the well-founded de mands of those calling for justice by such an argu ment? We sincerely hope that the subject will not be suffered to drop, but that it will be constantly brought forward, and kept before the House and the country until tardy justice is at length done to the gallant veterans. The other part of the subject touched upon that which we have ever considered a most vicious system, essentially unjust, and productive of much mischief to the service. We allude to the system of promotion by purchase. No matter how well, how efficiently an officer may perform his duties, how zealously he may devote himse'f to the acquisition of the knowledge of ,his profession, if he is not possessed of wealth to enable him to pay for that promotion, which should only be granted to merit, he will be subjected to the annoyance, the bitter mortification of seeing mere boys promoted over his head, whose only claims consist of the in fluence they can bring to bear, and the length of their purses—persons who enter the army for the purpose ,of playing at soldiers, who play their parts during the peace campaigns, and who, in the event of the regiment being ordered for foreign ser vice, will frequently vote it a bore, and exchange or sell out, thus evading the performance of their duties. It is well known that large sums of money, far ex ceeding the regulation price, are generally paid by young officers desirous of getting on, and the prac tice is connived at by the authorities. If rank was obtainable only by desert, a better class of officers would be procured—men who would make it the object of their lives, and who would with all their energies seek to qualify themselves for profes sional advancement. The officer who has purchased each step, and at length retires, after thirty or forty years' service, will find that the money he has sunk, together with the interest thereon, would give him a larger income than that afforded 1)3 his country as compensation for his exertions, for all the best years of his life devoted to their service ; and if he should happen to die in the interim, the money so paid will be totally lost to his family. Many heroes who perished in the field of battle, fighting bravely for their country, paid sums far exceeding that which they received as pay, and their friends and relatives bad to mourn, not merely the loss of their valuable lives, but also the sums of money, procured, perhaps with difficulty, in order to give them advancement in their profession. Such things should not be per mitted to continue. We trust that a full inquiry will be instituted, and that some better system may be devised and carried into execution. It is only in the English army that such things can be found, and the reproach should as speedily as possible be re moved from the British nation. With peculiar feelings of gratification—we may indeed say, of exultation—we observe that our illus trious countryman, RICHARD COBDEN, is receiving the congratulations of our continental neighbours. On Tuesday evening a grand banquet was given in of diplomacy ! " It was because he championed this gigantic and beneficent revolution, and because he spoke with the eloquence of a large heart, filled with great thoughts and splendid aspirations, that RICHARD COBDEN has, in a few years, gained such a permanent, and catholic, and enviable celebrity. It is for these reasons that his name is in such estima tion in England and excites such enthusiasm in France. The speech in which Mr. COBDEN responded to the congratulations of the Parisians at this banquet, though delivered through the stunting medium of an unfamiliar language, is not one jot less remarkable for shrewdness of logic, keenness of argument, condensa tion of facts, or felicity of expression, than any one of those memorable orations uttered by him either in Covent-garden Theatre or in the Commons House of Parliament. We-gladly refer our readers to a trans lation of that very interesting and remarkable address, printed at length in other columns of The Sun. In perusing it, they cannot fail to recognise the acute and generous mind from which the ideas flowed, and the benignity of that bosom from which those ideas received their persuasion. Mr. COBDEN was evidently conscious throughout of the importance of the character of his language ; and though he disclaimed the appellation of a propagandist, he was aware that he was then addressing the whole of continental Europe. He never forgot for a single instant that, according as his words were selected, the commercial emancipation of France might be expedited or retarded. In that harangue he presented to the French reformers a model for their guidance, by explaining the machinery and intentions of the League, while in so doing he in cidentally vindicated that great association from the charges of its traducers. And as an encouragement to the Societe des Libres Echangistes, he pronounced the following emphatic sentences : "If you ask me whether the question is settled for ever, I answer yes ; for in England we never recede one inch in the path of reform, when every step has been gained by the force of reason and argument. Besides, we have no man deserving the name of a statesman who would undertake a Government founded upon the protective principle. Ido not speak merely of Sir R. Peel, who has immortalised his name by the part he took in the emancipation of our com merce; or of Lord John Russell, who so nobly supported him ; but I mean that there is not one member of the late or pre sent Ministry who now advocates the principle of protection. One and all have modestly repudiated, on the part of Go vernment, the right of interfering with the freedom of indi vidual industry and enterprise." Any endeavour to epitomise the address of Mr. COBDEN would only militate against its energy and persuasiveness —every segment of his oration is in itself an epitome. We rejoice, for his sake, that RICHARD COBDEN has been so honoured by France; and, for her sake, that France has so honoured RICHARD COBDEN. On the 6th the POPE convoked a congregation of Cardinals to consider the propriety of remodelling the criminal code. It is reported that there will be a commission of jurisconsults appointed to con 4 ler of the matter. As a proof of the dislike with which the Absolutists regard the liberal measures of the POPE, more particularly the amnesty, we may mention that the King of NAPLES has prohibited the circulation of the Diario di Roma in his dominions. This is a curious sign of the times. The temporal Prince puts the works of his spiritual superior a l'lndex. The vassal refuses to receive the rescripts of his Suzerain and Lord Paramount, as not sufficiently despotic and tyrannical, and the professed son of the Church re jects the ordonnances of its infallible head as erroneous. The POPE, however, still continues the beneficent course by •Nhich his reign has hitherto been SO favourably distinguished. In addition to the numerous reforms already effected, or in progress, his Holiness is endeavouring to introduce great ameliorations in the hospitals, charitable establish ments, and convents. He visits these places fre quently, and when he is entirely un€xpected, and insists upon receiving full details of the way in which they are conducted. He has already made some of the richest establishments of monks con tribute funds towards the re-establishment of an institution for the reception of repentant prostitutes. The Swiss Diet has been engaged for several days in discussions on the question of the convents, but in taking the votes there was no majority on any point. The affair may be regarded, therefore, as at an end for the present. The committee of the inhabitants of Cologne ap pointed to investigate the circumstances attending the recent riots in that city, have announced that they will shortly publish their report, which will be a complete refutation of the statements made in the Prussian State Gazette, which asserted that the mili tary had not been- guilty of any provocation. We find the following in the German Gazette of Frank fort : " Some time ago a deputy for the provincial diet was elected here, but the superior authorities refused, on the pre text of some informality, but really because he is a member of the German Catholic Church, to sanction the return. He has since been re-elected. The president of the district hay in announced that be would not be received, as by a Cabinet order of ➢iay 28th, nomemberof the German Catholic Church can be a provincial deputy, or even an elector, the electors oaN e declared that they will not proceed to another election. It has been resolved to send an address on the subject to the King of Prussia, and several districts have applied for a copy of the Cabinet orc:er, with a view to examine its contents and decide upon the course to be taken." According to the Cologne Gazette the Austrian Government is about to raise a new loan to defray the great expenses to which it has been put by the outbreak in Galicia, and also to provide funds for the construc tion of new railroads. The same journal states that there is little probability of the Congress of the Cus- toms' Union coming to a satisfactory understanding is to the proposed modifications on the tariffs, most of the delegates having received positive instructions to insist upon particular points to which their col leagues will not agree. The Chamber of Deputies of Baden have recommended that the representative of Baden in the Germanic Diet should vote for the in tegrity of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. It is said that the spontaneous dissolution of the Holstein Diet had caused a great sensation in Denmark, and that the KING had, in consequence, dispatched a special envoy to Berlin. On this subject: the Swabian Mercury announces, " that before the vacation the Germanic Diet will publish an official notice, calculated to satisfy the public mind relative to the letter-patent of the King Of DENMARK." The Duke of NASSAU is about to be married to the Grand Duchess CATHERINZ of Russia. The Grand Duchess, who is nineteen years of age, is the daughter of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and the sister of the first wife of the Duke of NASSAU. The fol lowing is an extract of a letter, dated Leipsic, August 11 : " We understand that a new investigation, of a severe character, is about to be instituted against the students. Proofs have been discovered at Dresden of a Burchenschre (association of students) being in existence at Leipsic. On the morning of the Bth the police paid domiciliary vists to three students, opened their desks and seized on papers, which were forwarded to Dresden. It is said that they discovered amongst them the rules and regulations of the association. No person has been imprisoned, but the Minister of Worship I and Justice is expected to arrive here to-day." Madrid papers of the 14th instant have arrived. With the exception of a report that the English squadron of evolution was expected at Algesiras, these papers do not contain a single article of. intelli gence. Nothing was doing at the Bolsa. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, elected Count DARU, Count DE SEGUR, M. DE CAMBACERES, and General DESPANS DE CAIIIERES as the four secre taries of the Chamber for the ensuing session. The Due DE BROGUE is a member of the Committee ap pointed to draw up an answer to the Speech from the Throne. The President has fixed Tuesd ncxt for the trial of HENRI% The Chamber of DepUties has been engaged in the verification of the returns. Thirty-three returns are opposed, viz , twenty-five Ministerial and eight Opposition. On the subject of the actual amount of the Ministerial majority in the new Chamber. The Debats says:—" The number of Deputies in the bureaux yesterday was 340. Of these, in the nomination of presidents, 214 were Conservatives and 115 Oppo sitionists, 11 votes being lost. According to this calculation, the Conservatives have a majority of 99. This number would come near that which we gave in classing the various fractions of the Chamber after the elections. Marshal SOULT still remains in the country, and l AA of late taken no part in the Government. Tin Abbe Pz Quovps who has ever since the Revolution of 1830 denounced all Legitimatists who took the oath of allegiance to Louis PHILIPPE as apostates, perjurers, renegades, and traitors, took his seat as Deputy for Toulouse on Wednesday. There was a shout of laughter throughout the Chamber as the pious and consistent Abbe swore audibly to be faithful to the Charter and to the KING of the FRENCH. The authorities in Algiers have been interfering with the liberty of the press. Several articles which had been put into type in the Courrier d' Afrique having been cancelled by order of the authori ties, the editor of the France Algerienne has announced that he shall sus pend the publica tion of that journal until the Government shall have granted the liberty of the press in Algeria, or laid down some fixed regulations for its conduct. lie announces his intention of visiting Paris for the purpose of urging zealously, and by all legal means, the prompt execution of one of those measures. A meeting of about fifty of the principal colonists of Algiers has been held, at which it was resolved to send an address to the KING, and a petition to the Chambers, praying that the colony may be placed under the protection of the laws as they exist in France. A grand dinner was given on Tuesday to Mr. COBDEN by the Societe des Econornistes of Paris. We have given a full report of the proceedings on this truly important occasion in another column. This is a great step towards bringing about a truly national, and therefore lasting, entente cordiale. The entente cordiale between Governments depending for its existence solely upon men's inclinations, must be necessarily precarious, but an entente cordiale be tween nations depending upon a permanent union of their material interests, must be ne cessarily lasting, and such a permanent entente cordiale will be brought about when free trade shall be universally adopted. Then, and not till then, will nations cease to be the playthings of diplomatists. Plats BOURSE, Auo. 19.—The Stock Market has been rather weak throughout the day.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS _ CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including 4,500 American at 4d. to 6d. per lb. ; 150 Alaranham at 4%d. to 4 3 4 d.; and 800 Surat at 3d. to 3 3 / 4 d. per lb., with 500 American on speculation. The market was steady, and prices were well supported. Shares were quiet. In Mincing-lane a sensation was produced yesterday after noon by the first sale of foreign sugars (imported in a foreign ship), the produce of the Havannah, which, under the Sugar Bill, was taken for home consumption. The sugar, 1,204 boxes of white Havannah, fet c h e d 575. 6d. to 58s. 6d. As the probable future state of the Sugar Market is a topic of con siderable discussion at the present moment, we may usefully quote the following from an accredited authority : " Without doubting that the tendency of production is to increase, or wishing to undervalue the authorities that have made these estimates, we must thus consider them as coming under the head of prospective statistics,' and, like prophe cies, they can neither be affirmed nor contradicted until the period has passed; and when we recollect that the supply of sugar is dependent upon seasons, that a thought or a hurri- cane will disarrange all calculations, and that nothing has occurred to give a t„eneral or sudden stimulant to production (as the admission of Foreign is clogged with a heavy differ ential duty for the next three years), the importers of foreign have now the option of two markets, or rather the additional one of England is open to them, and as a trial of that market will only involve the risk of port charges to obtain two classes of buyers, the English consumer and exporter, it must be expected that a large increased importation of foreign into the United Kingdom will take place (but a corresponding decrease will be felt in the Continental ports), and then comes the question of price, as to which class will become the buyer, and that again will be materially governed by the current prices of British Plantation, which must furnish the principal portion of our consumption ; hence the importers of British Plantation have the means of forming a tolerably correct idea as to the point below which foreign cannot be a competitor; but this must, of course, be re ceived as a general argument, for it is not possible to foretel how prices will settle down, as the various under-currents that so frequently exist in a market influence prices, above or below their natural level, arising from the opinions formed by sellers and buyers as the aspect of the market of the day presents itself. We do not expect any sudden or large increase, as the consumer will not feel it as he did last year, when the duties were reduced, and the consumption increased from 207,000 tons to 245,000 tons." The private letters received from China are of a much more satisfactory character than those made public by the ordi nary mode of imparting information, i. e., the press of India and the Hong-Kong journals. There have not been •any late colonial arrivals announced to-day. Consols for the Account have been called heavy to-day at 95%, and 95 1 ,4 % for Money. A considerable improve ment has taken, place in Exchequer-bills, which are now at 14s. premium. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 208 to 209, and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are at 98. The quotation of Mexican Bonds has improved to 23 for the Account; for Money the price is 22 1 ,4. Buenos Ayres Stock is at 39. Spanish at 254 ; and the Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. at The Railway Shares are very fiat to-day. There is an increasing demand for the East Indian Scrip. BILITISII FUNDS. ONE CLOSINI4 O'CLOCK.

It is but consonant with that exalted position which France has assumed among the nations of Europe, that her children should be foremost in welcoming the eminent man whose tongue first pronounced the doom of monopoly and emancipated the commerce of Great Britain. Much that is instructive, and much likewise that is encourag ing may be gleaned from this demonstration in the metropolis of the French empire. The facts that the notion of such a tribute originated with the . Societe des Economistes—that the banquet was presided over by the Duc DITARCOURT, a Peer of France, and President of the. Societe des Libres Echangistes— that many distinguished political economists were present on the occasion—that among the most remarkable personages were M. VERNEZ (De puty Governor of the Bank of France) ; Baron BILLING (Minister of France at the Court of Denmark), M. MICHAEL CIIEVALLIER (Professor of Political Economy in the College de France), and M. JOSEPH GARNIER ( Professor of Po litical Economy at the Athenee), besides various Peers and Deput.es, and literary and commercial men —form a sufficient testimony that the demonstration was not one of those pieces of domestic adulation which are occasionally presumed to be the embodi ment of public opinion and the sp on t aneous indica _ _ _ _ ion of a principle. And what makes the knowledge of this demonstration so peculiarly gratifying to our selves, is the earnestness and enthusiasm which it tended to elicit. The speeches delivered during the evening were no mere bandying of com pliment; the punctilios and formalities, too fre quently the characteristics of an after-dinner oration, were altogether subordinate to those hearts emotions which animated the utterance of the differ ent speakers with such graceful and potent eloquence. On rising to propose the toast of the evening, HORACE SAY exclaimed, "To RICHARD COBDEN ! Is it necessary, gentlemen, I should say more ? This name is on every lip; it kindles in each of us the same feelings, the same sympathy, and the same ideas. COBDEN ! It is to us the tableau of the downfal of feudality in England, consummated under the reite rated blows of good sense. COBDEN ! It is the eman cipation of those who work, and find in the freedom of exchanges the complement of their right of pro perty in the produce of their labour. COBDEN ! It is the peace of the world in consequence of the ties which free trade will establish between all nations." Those were the beautiful and stirring epithets which were coupled with the name of our great re former. The' downfal of feudality !—the emancipa tion of the poor !—the peace of the whole world ! We welcome those few, but significant, sen tences, because in them we recognise an as surance that a foreign population comprehends the motives which have actuated the bene ficent consequences which will reward, and the ultimate consummation which will immorta!ise, the members, and especially the great leader, - of the Anti-Corn-law League. Those sentiments an avowal that Frenchmen do not perceive in our. recent struggle for the abolition of the protectivek imposts any of the ignominious palterings of private interest, but rather the striving of a whole people for their own improvement and the benefaction of the entire human family : that while we were endeavouring to prevent the enrichment of the indolent and affluent by the taxation of the bread of the industrious and the poor, we were riving asunder the last fetters of hu manity, and making one friendly race out of many hostile nations. As Mr. ConnErtlimself most nobly expressed it, we wanted " the liberty of industry" as well as " the rights of conscience, the liberty of speech, and the inviolability of the press"--we wanted to destroy, beyond all reparation, that villanous system " by . which the balance of peace and war between two great nations trtnibles upon the finger East Indlarj ~ ~, Great Western Bengal .. .. ss. .... .... • • .... % Luxembourg 1% Namur and Liege .. .. .. 6 .... 2%, ...... —.. 2'A, Northern of France Constituted.. 5 .. .. 12 ~ , g .. .• .. .• . • 12% Paris and Lyons Constituted .. 5 .... 5;.„j ......... 5.,z Paris and Strasbourg Constituted 5 .... 4% •,'; ........ 4.% Tournay, Jurb•se, Landen, and llasselt .. .. _ JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present week have been on a very limited scale, consequently the show of samples here to-day was small. Owing to the bad accounts received from Ireland respecting the potato crop, and the present unsettled weather, the demand for Wheat of home produce was active, at an advance in the quotations of quite Is. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. Holders of foreign Wheat were very firm, and a lar,,e quantity was disposed of; at an improvement in value of 2s. per:quarter from Monday. No new Barley at market. Grinding sorts were quite as dear, but other kinds were neglected. The supply of Malt was moderate. Selected parcels moved off stea dily, other kinds slowly, at late rates.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. POOR LAW. A return was brought up from the Poor-law Commission ers, in answer to an order in Council. DUKE OF NORFOLK'S ESTATE BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. MARRIAGES OF DISSENTERS. Dr. BOWRING presented a petiti•m from the poor-law guardians of Ilfracombe. They complained that the vestry clerk of Barnstaple had made his office in the workhouse of that union, and that was the place where the marriages of Dis senters were registered. They conceived that when the law allowed the celebration of marriages between Dissenteys, it was not intended that any disgrace should be cast upon them. The petitioners believed that the registry in such a place was equal to a contumely on their marriages, and they prayed for an alteration at Barnstaple. He (Dr. Bowing) therefore begged to call the attention of the Government to the subject. GLASGOW COLLEGE BILL. Mr. WARBURTON disapproved of the passing of this Bill until some clause was inserted giving the Lords of the Treasury the power of controlling the funds arising from the exchange or sale of land. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG said that it was at least unusual that such an . impediment should be thrown in the way of a Bill of this kind at its present stage. But as it was a Bill of an unusual kind he would explain that all the Government ..uthorities had been consulted respecting its terms, and they were perfectly satisfied with the proposed change. The object of the Bill was to remove the College from what had become a very bad and unwholesome part of the town to a better locality. The Committee of the Lords who had sat on the Railway Bill which had been pro. secuted by the Company who sought to remove the College to make way for their line, approved of the plan. The buildings of the College, and the grounds attached, had been valued at 87,000/., and the property to be given in exchange was valued at 146,0(101., so that not only was a better locality obtained, but the trustees were put in . possession of an entirely new college. The Government authorities, law officers, and all the parties personally concerned had been consulted, and all ap proved of the Bill, so that, in reality, there was no valid objec tion whatever, and he trusted the Bill would be allowed to pass without ny further delay. Mr. P. M. STEWART said that ofter what hid fallen from his Hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh (Mr. G. Craig), he could not help saying that this Bill was quite unnecessary to pass in the present session. He might cite the College of Edin burgh as an instance. This Bill was to removethe College of Glas gow from the centre of the town to a rural locality beyond the western extremity of the town. And how was this removal sought? Why all those connected with the college who had prayed for the removal were the professors, who derived their remuneration from the class students. Now, what were the advantages ? They got for the college a rural and more fashionable locality. But what were the disadvantages? They went a distance of two and a half miles from the hospital where the medical students obtained the best of their education. None but gentlemen acquainted with Glasgow College could possibly understand the case. The students at that institution were generally of a poorer order than those in the English universities, holding situations in warehouses and other places in the town, the neighbourhood of which enabled them to at tend the classes. 'I he Bill might have undergone great inves tigation, but no sufficient reason bad been shown for the re moval. The only cause shown was the construction of a rail way—not a great national undertaking, but a paltry branch, which wotdd not be of any particular service to anybody. The system of instruction there all allowed to have been most suc cessful. Colonel REID thought that, as one of the Committee who sat upon this Bill, it was necessary for him to state that as long as twenty years ago an attempt was made to remove the college, in consequence of the badness of the site. The structure was quite incompetent for its present purposes. The accommodation for the professors was so bad that they bad not the slightest advantages for retirement, which, from their posi tion were absolutely necessary. Then with regard to the classes, such was the deficiency that three classes were absolutely meeting oaily in one room. Then with re spect to the hospital. there were now only 240 beds, which were quite insufficient for the purpose. Now the railway company offered to provide a new college and a new hospital, giving a difference of 146,0001. against 87,000/. He thought this so good a bargain for the college that it ought to be se cured as soon as possible, for he believed that though there was a competition between the promoters of this Bill and the Caledonian Company, they would Le quite ready to be off their engagement. The fact was, there was a bad feeling between the regius professors and the faculty of the college, and that was the sole reason of the opposition to this Bill. Mr. HUME thought the Gallant Officer was rather incon sistent in his argument ; for if there was a competition, it surely was rather likely to raise the price than to reduce it. As concerned the professors, he found that the several autho rities of the college were nearly equally divided on the subject •f the removal, and this was not a question of 'mere pounds, shillings, and pence, .but was one of public education, which in Scotland is a matter of national importance. If they sanc tioned this removal they would take the college two miles and a half from the hospital, and that would go a long ' way to destroy the value of the institution altogether. The Gallant Officer was not aware of what was a fact, that in Glasgow the people were much disinclined to entering the In firmary, and the town was divided into eighteen districts, each of which was so managed as to give the poor the best benefit they could obtain from this holsital, and if it were removed that arrangement would be made completely futile. It was a mistake to suppose that the present site was unhealthy. The rooms, it is true, are low ; the structure is on one side close to the street, but on the other, to the eastward, it was quite open, and had 25 acres of ground attached to it. By an Act already passed it wag required that no alteration should be made in public institutions without the inspection of a Government officer. Now, no officer whatever has been sent down to in spect the building, and no public ground had been made out for the removal. The Government, he contended, were not in p .ssession of sufficient information, and he should therefore move the adjournment of the debate until Monday, in order that they might be put into better possession of the facts of the case. After a few words in explanation from Colonel REID, Mr. BORTH WICK said that he hoped the Government would consider the objections of the Hon. Member fur Mont rose before giving any decision upon this importaut question. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the late Government, and also the present one, had taken every pains to obtain proper in formation upon this question. Th,y had taken the opinion of those person who were best qualified to judge on this subject, and their decision was, that the change of site proposed would rather be beneficial than otherwise. Under these circum stances he did not think that any postponement was necessary. With regard to the clause proposed by the Hon. Member far Montrose, he had no objection to its introduction if the Hon. Member bought it would at all secure, the objects which the Bill was intended to carry out. Mr. BROTHERTON said he had been a member of the Committee appointed to consider this subject, and in his opinion the evidence entirely preponderated in favour of the removal of the college. With every feeling against the removal of the college, the Committee were unanimous in passing the preamble of the Bill, as in their opinion it would be most beneficial in its effects. The value of the old college and grounds was 80,0001., and the value of the new college and lands was to be 145,5001., so that no loss could possibly be sustained by the university itself, or by those connected with it. Mr. HUME said that he wished time until Monday, when he could produce the opinions of Lords Cockburn and Mon crieff against the removal of the college. Sir G. GREY thought the proposition of his Noble Friend (Lord J. Russell) a fair one. It was that the Bill be now read a third time, and th a t th e l as t - stage be left till Monday, in order that any amendment might be considered and suggested in the meantime. Lord G. SOMERSET strongly objected to the postpone ment, as he did not think it would lead to any alteration of opinion as to the passing of the Bill.

On the motion that the report. be agreed to, Mr. HUME objected to the Bill as a very impolitic one, as it appeared to admit of the appointment of an unlimited num ber of police. If also the Consolidated Fund was to be charged with the expense of those police, he thought its provi sions should be extended to England, as it regarded the pay ment of the police force here. Mr. LajOUCHERE explained that the expense arising from tending extra police to disturbed districts would have to be met by those districts, which would he the means of causing the proprietors to make every exertion to keep in order their respective localities, so as to do without this extra expense. With regard to the unlimited power spoken of, that had been altered, and the Lord-Lieutenant's power in this respect is now restricted. The report was then adopted, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to morrow. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND—No. 4 and 5) BILLS. The reports of these Bills were brought up and adopted, and the third reading fixed for to-morrow. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. The report of this Bill was brought up and adopted. RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' BILL. On the motion that the House resolve itself into Committee on this Bill, Colonel S[BTHORP objected to it. It would en tail great expense on the country, besides giving an increased patronage to the Government; and it would also have the effect of establishing another Board of Commissioners like to the New Poor-law Board, of which they had heard so much of late in regard to the way in which they had done their duty. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the Bill be committed that day six months. As no Hon. Member seconded the amendment it fell to the ground. (LEFT SITTING.) CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron PLATT and Alderman Sir P. LAURIE.) MURDER IN SIIADWELL.—Benjamin Gibbons was placed at the bar this morning, indicted "for the murder of Jane Sloman, on the night of the Ist of June last, in Labour-in vain -street, Shadwell. Mr. BALLANTINE, with whom was Mr. CLERK, introduced the facts of the case briefly to the jury, and then called Ann Sloman, who said she was the mother of the de ceased, who lived in Labour-in-vain -street, Shadwell. Wit ness and her daughter went on Whit-Monday, the Ist of June, to Stepney fair, where they met the prisoner. At half-past six o'clock the same evening she parted with the deceased, who said she would go home and - cook something for the prisoner's supper. At that time she was a little fresh, but not intoxicated. The prisoner on the following morning, about seven o'clock, roused the witness and said, "Jane was dead; she had fallen-down stairs and broken her neck." Jahn Hodges, a lumper, said he was at Stepney fair till ten minutes past twelve o'clock at night with the prisoner. They parted at half-past,fwelve o'clock, the prisoner being quite sober. . . John Lewis, who lived next door to the prisoner, said, he was awoke between twelve and o ne o ' c l oc k on Tuesday morn ing by a man in the street singing out, :'Jane, come down and let me in ; open the door." A female voice, which he did not know, answered " I shan't, I shan't." Tue first person then cried out, " Throw down the key, my dear." He heard no more. His wife was at this time sitting at the window. Ann Lewis said, she heard a noise after the prisoner calledfbr the key, as if of a person falling down stairs. The prisoner had not left the door at that time, nor had he got in. The witness called out to the prisoner, " Oh, father, she must have got a drop too much." He said he did not know, he could not get in, and he would go and see if he could get lodgings somewhere else. The prisoner next morning, about half- past five came again to the door and tried, but could not get in. After some trouble he got in by a window at the back of the house. The witness in the meantime looked through the keyhole of the door and saw the prisoner stretching the legs of the corpse, which lay at the foot of the stairs rather across the passage. The prisoner then lifted up the head of the deceased, and cried out, "Jane, Jane, my dear." The witness was of opinion at the time that the noise she had heard before came from that part of the house. Mrs. Slack, who lives next door to the prisoner, on hearing the knocking, went to the street door. After the communi , cation had ceased between the prisoner and the deceased, t. h t heal d a noise as of a person falling down' stairs, and exc!aimed "O my God! that woman has fallen down stairs." The prisoner knocked and called twice after this noise, but no answer was given. She heard no noise as of a quarrel or struggle afterwards, although the partition between the houses is such as to transmit conversation very plainly. Mrs. Lewis, recalled by the JUDGE, said she bad sat up all night, and heard no noise whatever after the falling down stairs. William Darlow, who lives in Jamaica-place, Limehouse, said, that in the back room of deceased's house there was a private still. The prisoner came to his house on Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock, and said his wife was dead; he came home about 3 o'clock, and she tumbled down the stairs and broke her neck. He requested the witness to bear a hand and remove the still. tie said the back door was open, he would get in by it. Witness said he occupied the two back rooms on the ground floor for the purposes of the still. The prisoner's room was up stairs, and he had nothing to do with the still or the rooms below. On Monday, about three in the afternoon, he used the piece of iron produced in Court as a -hammer, and left it on the tub in the still room. Martha Darlow, the wife of the last witn ess , sa id s h e wou ld not swear that she had not removed the piece of iron after her husband left. John Robert Crawford, owner of the Nelson Coffee-house, Commercial-road, Shadwell, said the prisoner bad coffee at half-past twelve o'clock on Monday morning, and returned about half-past two next morning with a coalheaver. Both had coffee, with bread and butter, and were rather noisy at first. The witness threatened to put them out, and the pri soner havieg promised to be quiet, laid his head on his arms, and twice sighed heavily. The coalheavei said to him, " What the - the matter?" He said nothing. They both seemed to have been enjoying themselves. William Pod, who serves at the bar of the Duke of York public-house, said he saw the prisoner at the house about *ix o'clock on Tuesday morning, when he had a pint of beer. J. Harris, a beer-seller, on Market-hill, went on Tuesday morning to No. 6, Labour-in-vain-street, and looked through the keyhole, and saw a woman apparently lying dead. He orought a policeman, and they broke open the door and went in. The prisoner came while they were there, and while he was crying over the body one of those present said he ought to have given the alarm sooner. The prisoner said he could not give an alarm at that time of the night, so he went to a coffee-house, and got himself a cup of coffee. The feet of the deceased might be about a foot or eighteen inches from the stair, and the body lay askew. Constable 380 K, said he found the head of the corpse to wards the wainscot, resting on a bag, the feet to the stairs, the left arm touching the wainscot. On the wainscot were the marks of two hands, and a patch of blood between. He found the piece of iron produced in the yard. It lay on the middle rail 'of the paling, which separated the yards of Nos. 6 and 7, the place over which it would be convenient to lift a stilt, with a view to removing it secretly. Constable 8 K said he observed a spot of blood on the second step of the stairs, which seemed to have been smeared with the finger. He examined the prisoner, and saw blood on his hands and jacket. The witness asked him how he accounted for the blood? He said he had cut his finger the day before the fair. The constable examined his hands and found only a slight wound on his fore finger which did not appear to have bled recently. On asking him how he got the blood on his jacket, the prisoner said Heaven knows, I don't know." The prisoner then said he had come home about seven o'clock, and described how he got in and how he found the corpse. The jacket and waistcoat were taken off the prisoner at the station-house, when witness observed blood on the waistcoat and inside the pocket of the jacket, which the prisoner said he supposed he had got from lifting the head of the corpse. Daniel Ross, a surgeon, High- street, Shadwell, said he was sent for to 6, Labour-in-vain-street, on Tuesday morning, the 2d of June. He went and saw the corpse of a woman, lying with the feet slightly inclined towards the stairs, the head and left shoulder touching the skirting-board. He examined the body, when he found altogether on the head, cheek, and nose six marks, which had the unu sua l appear ance which is produced by a blister on, a child before death. The wound on the back of the head was jagged and lacerated, tending upwards, and laying the bone bare. The scull was fractured, and there was one of the veins rup tured ; both he had no doubt would cause death. He saw nothing about the stairs which wouldhave caused thewound, There was nothing hard in the bag on which the head was lying, and the stairs had no bannisters, the stairs being wooden and without carpeting. If the wound had been caused by a blow on the stairs there might have been blood on the steps, but not ne cessarily. If the woman going down stairs had fallen back, the wound would be upwards; but he did not think the edge of the step could have inflicted the wound seen. In the room above which the body lay there w as vom i t i ng which smelt strongly of drink. On the matting where the body lay, part of the blood was dried, part in a fluid state. Tile woman might have been dead for six hours when he saw her first. He had examined the marks of blood on the jacket of the prisoner, some of it about the bend of the arm, some on the left collar, and some on the edge of the pocket. The blood was a little flowing from the head, and the marks might have been produced by lifting the head. The iron pro dnced might have produced the wound, or, perhaps, the toe of a heavy boot. Mr. BALL.ANTINE—Were there not some jets of blood seen? Witnesa--Yes, drops upon his shoes. Baron PLATT—Did you observe whether any artery was ruptured? Witness—So, he had not examined. Baron PLATT—Then Would n what oul kind o t ot hblood f post e b ndt s p urt foin o or tem r examina tionun have you made? aclolaonudr v a retneorL? blood? and wa thes vir it n r note ess e d n i o ft u e s r e b n l c o e o d between e d a in after exposure to the air. Baron PLArr—Would il n ip o t t in a u dl form, ro as thebloodpof spurting sfproumthgebhloeoadd take the same form, an would in falling? Witness—Yes. Baron PLATr said he asked these questions because he spoke of spurting and jets. Did you apply the piece of iron to the wound? Witness—No ; the wound was somewhat triangular. Baron PLATT—You have said the toe of a boot might have caused the wound, might it not have been caused by any blunt instrument, the edge of the stairs, for example? Wit ness—Yes. Baron PLATT—Then I collect that a person falling down the stairs might have suffered this wound? Witness—lt is improbable. Baron PLATT here intimated his opinion to Mr. Ballantine that the case had gone far enough. Mr. DOANE, counsel for the prisoner, said he had inti mated as much to his Learned Friend at a previous stage of the case. Baron Purr said to the jury that the man had been seen by two of the witnesses raising the head of the deceased. That action was sufficient to account for the whole of the blood seen upon the prisoner If they had any doubt as to the issue of the trial, they might proceed with it, but it ap peared to him unnecessary. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE DAGENHAM MURDER. The adjourned inquest on the body of Clarke, the mur dered policeman, was resumed yesterday, at Dagenham, and disclosures were made which will probably lead to the detec tion of the murderer. The suspended policemen, Batfoy, Fame., Kimpton, and Hickton, appeared and swore that their former evidence was false, so far as regarded their statement that on the night of the murder they had seen police-sergeant Parsons on duty at eleven o'clock, two o'clock, and six o'clock; that they made that statement at Parsons' own request, who, in point of fact, was not on duty, and he had not accounted for his time: To make he suspicion thus raised against Parsons still stronger, a man named Henry Clements, a sale porter and hawker, residing at Romford, deposed that a week after the murder, being at the Lion, at Rumford, he went into a room where sergeant Parsons was sitting, absorbed over a. newspaper, which contained an acco u nt of the finding a Clarke's body, and then he heard him exclaim, in a state of apparent abstraction, "Poor fellow, I wish I had not done it now." Parsons had stated in his evidence that he was on duty all night; and on being now confronted with the parties who made this new and astounding revelation, he declared that all they had said was false, that he was actually on duty, and that be adhered to his statement. Under these circumstances the Coroner further adjourned the inquiry for three weeks. i n the Of course a strong sensation h as b een p r oduced neighbourhood by these disclosures. The detective force at Dagenham have orders to keep the suspended men in a stat e of surveillance, and not to permit Parsons to be out of their sight, or to permit aay communication between him and the constables referred to. The next sitting of the Coroner is likely to produce portant results.
