COBDEN TESTIMONIAL. At a meeting or bankers, merchants, and others, held at the London Tavern, this day, July 14th, SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., in the chair. On the motion Of JOHN ABEL &KITH, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by GBOEOI MoPrATT, Esq , it was resolved, MOIR is, Esq., That (next to Richard Cobden) the gratitude of the country is due in an eminent degree to the Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers, M.P., for Lis valuable and truly patriotic co-operation in the cause of corn-law repeal and free trade in general. That Mr. Villiers devoted his energies and abilities to the advocacy of the repeal of the corn-laws at a time when, by so doing, he necessarily exposed himself to the hostility of those classes with which he was naturally connected that with great moral courage he repeatedly forced this question upon en unwilling and hostile Legislature ; that from the commencement of this great struggle he has laboured in the cause with zeal, with ability, and singleness of purpose, with untiring energy, with un abated good faith, and with a remarkable absence of all personal consideration and private jealousy. That by these means, and by the knowledge aad ability invariably displayed by him in every Parliamentary debate on the subject, Mr. Villiers has rendered invaluable assistance to the progress of the question, and his name must remain indissolubly connected with the final success of this great inea,,ure. A Committee, consisting of the following gentlemen, was ap pointed to take the necessary steps to turther the proposed National Testimonial to Richard Cobden : SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., Chairman. W3f. A. WILKINSON, Esq., Deputy-Chairman. W3f. PRESCOTT, Esq., Treasurer. kr George Lewitt, Bart. P. A. Taylor, Esq. George Moffatt, Esq., M.P. Ingram Travers, Esq. Thos. A. Mitchell, Esq., M.P.

That, In the opinion of this meeting, Richard Cobden, MT., has isitablished.the strongest claims upon the respect and gratitude of his fellow-countrymen, because, at the sacrifice of all private considera tions, and of every personal interest, he has devoted his whole time and energies to advance the great cause of free trade, and has been instrumental, in a greater degree than any other person, Ln preparing the public mind for the repeal of laws which interfered with the freedom of industry, and imposed restrictions equally unjust and im politic upon the supply of the first necessaries of life to the people of this country. Because his exertions in this cause have been characterised by re markable moral courage and purity of purpose, by firmness combined with moderation, and by uncompromising determination, tempered by conciliation and courtesy. Because, when driven by an overwhelming necessity to resort to popular agitation for the redress of a great national injustice, he has to conducted that agitation as to render it effectual for the accom plishment of its first and legitimate purpose, without violating the Laws of his country, without infringing the principles of our free con stitution, without resorting to personal acrimony, or to the use of language which is calculated to produe exasperation, or to offend the moral feelings of serious and honest-minded men. Because, against power and authority, and prejudices deeply rooted and widely extended, he has maintained the great cause of truth and justice, in a case affecting the rights of his fellow-countrymen and the true interests of manind at large, by the sole means of free and manly discussion, appealing only to the reason of the people and not to their passions, whilst the laws of truth and the feelings of his opponents have been duly respected, without injury to the strength of his cause, or compromising the extent of his reasonable demands. Because the self-sacrifice, the energy, the perseverance, the courage wader severe trials, the moderation and temperance under severe provocation, with which the final object has been pursued, and the simplicity and moderation exhibited in the hour of victory, are wholly unprecedented. Because, through his Influence and advice the Anti-Coro-law League, originally dictated by a peculiar and great necessity, has, through every step of its progress, been strictly confined to its osten sible and avowed purpose, and has been promptly and faithfully dis solved the moment that purpose has been effectually secured. That a subscription be commenced for the purpose of promoting the proposed National Testimonial to Richard Cobden, and that all parties be invited to contribute to this testimony of a nation's gratitude for services rendered to the people by one of themselves.

SECOND EDITION. 44/44, lu ,o4k LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JULY 15, 1546. Lord BROUGHAM last night called the attention of .he new Government to a circumstance which, to say ,he least of it, must be considered a most extraordinary and irregular proceeding. We cannot conceive that in so doing his Lordship was actuated by any feeling of hostility towards the Ministry, or by any desire to embarrass them in any the slightest degree. No time could be mere proper for the purpose than the present, when one of the important judicial situations, indi cated in the report of the Parliamentary Committee for the revision and reduction of the salaries of the principal officers of state, and in the salary of which a reduction was contemplated, has just been accepted by a Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman, although he has not yet been formally installed in his high position. There is nothing on which public liberty is more dependent nothing which should be guarded with a greater degree of vigilance, than the preservation of the indepen dence of the judicial bench, the entire absence of any control on the part of the Executive, or the possibi lity of any undue influence being exercised over those to whom the exposition and interpretation of the laws of the country is to be entrusted. History furnishes too many examples of judges, who sacri ficed name and character by an undue truckling to the superior powers on whom they were then de pendent, and by whom they might at any time have been deprived of their situations and reduced to com parative poverty and obscurity. Who can have read of the fearful horrors enacted before a JEFFEREYS, and not have shuddered at the atrocities, the judicial murders, sanctioned by a wicked and corrupt man ? True it is, there is now little prospect of such scenes being again exhibited. The force of public opinion is too mighty, too potential to permit such practices to be for a moment tolerated, but still the utmost degree of jealousy should be felt at anything which, though comparatively innocent and harmless in itself, might possibly form a precedent, the principle of which might possibly be injuriously extended at any time hereafter. The first introduc tion of the point of the wedge should be zealously and firmly resisted. The greatest safeguard to public liberty has been found to consist in the separation of the executive, legislittive, and judicial functions, and in their en tire and perfect independence of each other. Acting on this principle, the appointment of any man to the office of a judge is made "dum se bene gesserit"— not during pleasure, but during good behaviour. When once appointed, he cannot be removed by the Crown, except for sufficient cause, on the address of both Houses of Parliament. So much for his inde pendence as regards the permanency and duration of his office ; were it otherwise, we should perhaps have the bench occupied by zealous and active partisans, and other qualifications looked fur than legal knowledge and acquirements, and upright and honourable characters. The distinguished and learned men who have for many years past filled the station have, on their elevation to the ermine, invariably laid aside their private and party feelings, and a political judge is happily unknown in our country. The next step to the independence of the bench to be attained was to secure to its occupants a re- maneration amply sufficient for the important duties entrusted to their care, and so liberal in amount as to ( place at the disposal of the Crown the most talented and able advocates, and to induce such persons willingly to give up therefore the most lucrative and valuable private practice. Accordingly, the salaries of the judges were from time to time re gu - I lated by various Acts of Parliament. They no longer were suffered to remain charges on the Civil List, as they had formerly been, but were transferred to and made payable out of the Consolidated Fund. The last statute fixing the salaries of the two situations to which we more immediately refer, viz., the Chief Justices of the Courts of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, was the 6th Geo. IV., c. 82, by which the sum of 10,0001. per annum was fixed as the salary of the first, and 8,0001. as the salary of the second, which it directed to be paid to them quarterly. It was, by that Act of the Legislature considered that such would be the proper sums to be paid, and it was never contemplated that less should be accepted. The only power by which those sums could be constitutionally varied or reduced was that of the Parliament itself. It was felt, after the opinion of the Committee to which we have referred had been obtained, that these salaries might be advantageously reduced to 8,000/. and 7,000/. a year respectively; and it was intended to bring in an Act to carry into execution that re- commendation, by which it could alone be constitu tionally given effect to. When one of the offices re- ferred to became vacant, it would have been correct to have informed the person appointed thereto that it was intended to apply to the Legislature to reduce the salary, and to stipulate that he should hme any vested not,afteray such an Act was passed, be considered to vested interest in, or claim to, the higher salary, but that h e wou ld accept t h e office, subject to the probable reduction. This would have been correct, and no possible objection could be made thereto; but until the reduction had actually been sanctioned by the Legislature the original salary should be paid without deduction of any kind, otherwise bargains, degrading alike to the Minister and the judge, might posbibly take place. We regret, therefore, that Lord DENMAN gave the sanction of his high name to so mischievous a precedent. We cannot be supposed for a moment to contemplate the possibility of any of the results we have mentioned occurring in the I case of that distinguished Nobleman, for whose cha- The Journal of Constantinople announces that a dreadful fire broke out at Scutari on the 25th ult., which destroyed thirty houses. A letter from Alexandria, of June 19, says :- " On the eve of the departure of Mehemet Ali of Con. stantinople all affairs are suspended. The arrival of Hamid Bey, the Sultan's Envoy, is every moment expected. Me hemet Ali is purchasing quantities of diamonds and other jewels, destined, it is said, as presents for the harems of Constantinople. Yesterday he bought an emerald necklace for 70,0001. A sum of 20,000 falares (100,000 f.) is to be offered to the Envoy who brings the invitation. It is sup posed that this journey will cost Mehemet Ali from ten to twelve millions of francs. It is certain that he is to be received at Constantinople with all the honours due to his rank, and to the name which he leaves to posterity. Abas Pacha, who is to be charged with the direction of affairs during the Viceroy's absence, is expected to-morrow from Cairo. It is thought that his Highness will be absent about forty days." The following appears in the Universal Prussian Gazette, under the date of Warsaw, July 4 : " An ordonnance of the Director of the Police has revoked an order which prevented the inhabitants from quitting their houses after seven o'clock in the evening without a lantern, and also preventing owners of public , carriage from hiring them out after midnight. The formalities concerning Rus sian subjects arriving or quitting Warsaw have received the following changes:-1. They are to present their passports to the authorities at the barriers, 2. The proprietors of houses are bound to make a declaration of those passports to the district authorities." Several new arrests have taken place at Posen ; among the persons arrested are a priest and several foreigners. The dreadful accident on the Great Northern Rai!- road still continued to occupy the public attention in Paris. The following is the account of the catas trophe which was forwarded to the journals by the Company on Saturday : " A fresh report addressed to the directors arrived to-day at half-past three, and confirms the news already given. There are 14 killed, including two children, five serioudy wounded, and 20 slightly bruised. It is important that public opinion, much affected by this deplorable catastrophe, should not be led astray by the exaggeration which is the in evitable consequence of the first impressions of the public. The saving of lives have been made by the exertions of the agents of the company, as well as by those of the agents of the au thorities, and the public force. The sappers of the engineers and the hussars from Arras, directed by their officers, have regularised with as much orde r as i n t e lligence all the opera tions of the researches. The results which we now point out, are therefore, incontestable. Thera is no longer any carriage remaining in the water ; the remnants of the last waggon have been taken oat, and no fracture of either springs or wheels has been discovered. The causes of the accident are therefore still unknown. The latest ac counts received of the wounded are satisfactory. The acci dent of the 9th, of which some journals have spoken, has been singularly exaggerated both in causes and effects. A crane had been raised in the middle of the other line. The passage of the train had been provided for. The locomotive and the first carriages had passed without touching it, but the step of the last, or the last but one, caught it, either from the crane being moved from its position or from the jolting of the last waggon. The crane fell and wounded three hug.. sars ; one of them had his thigh broken, and two others re ceived contusions. No passenger in the train either alighted or was touched." Madrid journala to the Bth instant have arrived. The Government had received the text of the treaty between Spain and Uruguay. The Heratdo states, that in the province of Gre nada, a force of 800 men, 200 of whom were on horse back, assembled recently to protect an extensive smuggling operation, and that as the Government had no force to oppose to them, of course they were suc cessful. The following decree relaxing the quarantine re gulations in force with regard to vessels arriving from Morocco has just been issued by the Queen of SrAIN "1. The precautionary quarantine of fo ur days imposed on vessels arriving from Morocco in Spanish ports with clean bill of health shall be withdrawn provided it is p rove d that the port from which the vessel sailed, or its environs, has not been visited for the space of one year previous by an y case of pestilence. " 9 . Foreign vessels, in addition to their clean bill of health, must produce a certificate from the Spanish Consul or consular agent at the port from which they sailed, certifyin g that the bill of health is correct and genuine; in default of which they will remain subject to the regulations hitherto in force." MADRID BOLZA, JULY B.—The Three per Cents. are quoted to-day at 33 cash; the Five per Cents, are reported at 20% buyers; and the Passive Debt at 6% 3 ,4 buyers. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They are all occupied with electioneering polemics. The Opposition seemed greatly divided among them- selves, and the programme issued by the Central Committee is found fault with by all sections of it— by some as far too Radical, and by others as not going nearly far enough. There seems but little doubt but that M. GUIZOT Will in the approaching elections not only maintain, but ircrease his majority. Disturbances are said to have taken place in Mol davia, and, in consequence, the Austrian Government has directed a corps of 30,000 men to assemble at Laxenburg. By an Imperial order, dated Vienna, July 3, Count RODOLPII DE STADION, Governor of Moravia and racter and conduct we entertain the highest respect and admiration. We conceive that he was led into the error by his total disregard of selfish considera tions, and a readiness to make any pecuniary sacrifice for the good of his country ; but, amiable as the mo tive might be, transaction is not the less objection trust that it may rec e i ve a able, and we sincerely speedy and efficient remedy, :nd that in the new ap pointment no such stipulation or understanding may , have taken place. By our latest intelligence from America it appears that hostilities are still maintained, though accompa nied by much mutual hesitation, between the United States and Mexico. Conscious of its incapacity for a movement so adventurous, the invading army has ne glected to penetrate further into the beleaguered country, and by that unwilling inaction has almost nullified its first successes. On the opposite hand the Mexicans were impelled to a similar course of delay from a knowledge of the total insufficiency of their forces to repulse their assailants. Despite, how ever, this compulsory armistice, several remarkable circumstances have transpired, which altoge ther change the position of both parties. By advancing slowly upon the enemy's territories the American troops, under General TAYLOR, have captured the city of Reinoso, while a deputation from the authorities of Camargo had likewise waited upon the commander for the purpose of tendering him the possession of that town. Another fact likely to alter very materially the position of the relative armies, is the concentration of the Mexican forces near Mon terey ; and, supposing the prosecution of the warfare, the collision between the rival powers will in all like lihood occur in the mountain forces of that neigh bourhood. It is, however, earnestly to be hoped that the report now in course of preparation under the superintendence of Mr. APDIIFFIE, and which will speedily be placed before the Senate, recommending a termination of hostilities with Mexico, may so far contribute to the prevention of further bloodshed as to produce a temporary suspension of arms until matters can be definitely adjusted. Meanwhile a most extraordinary and unprecedented revolution is proceeding in various quarters of the Mexican terri• tories, and one which threatens to subvert the whole political system of that country. Instead of rising with one national outburst of indignation to spurn their invaders fron the frontiers of their common land, the Mexicans are in different provinces display ing a most unexpected enthusiasm for the govern ment of the Presidency. Whether this arises from pusillanimity, or from a desire to remodel their own constitution upon that of an independent empire, it is scarcely possible at this moment to determine. It is beyond all question, however, that the Mexican fede ration totters upon the very brink of destruction. The sustaining power of national inactivity has been removed, and at the first invasion of her dominions the Federation of Mexico tumbles down piecemeal. Yucatan has proclaimed itself to be an independent republic, and has in consequence been respected by the United States as a neutral power. In defiance, however, of this and several other indications of instability among the people whom he proposes to defend, PAREDES was expected to advance, with 16,000 men, upon Matamoras, for the purpose of repulsing the encroachments of General TAYLOR. Such is the state of in volvement and confusion into which Mexico is plunged, and unless some surprising catastrophe change the entire aspect of its affairs, that involve ment can only become more complicated, and that con fusion more irreparable. Something may yet be accomplished in favour of the Mexicans, if unani mity and wisdom can be summoned to the aid of their counsels. From a vacillating and imbecile Le gislature no courageous defence can be anticipated. Possibly, the return of SANTA ANNA to authority might stabilitate the hope and assure the valour of that neglected population. We trust, nevertheless, that this outrageous quarrel may be permanently settled without the intervention of more warlike im plements, or warlike leaders. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

MARKET NEWS. -(THIS DAY. - -- - CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. We had again a limited supply of Wheat of home pro duce on sale. Still, however, as the millers purchased only to meet their present wants, the trade was in a very inactive state, at about Monday's quotations. The show of Foreign WL eat being large, that article ruled very dull, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. The best grinding Barley moved off steadily, at late rates. In other kinds next to nothing was doing. Malt moved off steadily, at low rates ; but Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, commanded scarcely any attention. ARRIVALS. Barley. 860 qrs.

Betting HEALTH FEES AT MADEIRA. —The agent to Lloyd's at Madeira writes, under date the 27th of June, that the Portuguese Government had again altered the health fees, and that all vessels were in future to pay about 12s. 6d. sterling, without reference to size, if provided with bill of health. GLUCK.—The hundred and thirty-second anniversary of the birth of Gluck was celebrated on the 4th - inst. at Vienna, on which occasion a monument to his memory was inaugurated; it consists of hewn granite slab, with the like ness of the maestro in bronze. Other doings in honour of this great and original composer are also spoken of. It would seem, however, that the Viennese rather wish to see than hear him, for none of his operas has been produced there for some years. THE HARVEST.—SeveraI pieces of wheat have been cut in the neighbourhood of Brighton, and stacked in good condition; and the crops generally, besides indicating an abundant yield of grain, show that beautiful tinge which indicates fitness for the sickle. A correspondent from Maid stone informs us that a sample of new barley was sold in that market ten days ago. So early a harvest has not been known of late years. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WATERMEN'S PIER, ADELPHL—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at the Star and Garter, Green-street, Leice , iter-square, on the body of Charles Try ford, aged ten years, who was found drowned under one of the barges forming the pier on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Tryford, of Bride-lane, the father of the deceased, keeps a small tobacconist's shop on the pier. The child was missed about four o'clock, and on the rising of the tide was 'dis covered dead. There was no evidence how he came into the water. Verdict, " Found drowned." CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTEH—OR Monday night lengthened inquiry was entered into and concluded at the King's Arms, New- road, St. George's-in-the-East, before Mr. William Baker, respecting the death of Thomas Alex ander Bartlett, aged eight years, whose death is alleged to have been caused by a blow inflicted on him by Mr. John Lloyd, proprietor of the Railway Dairy, Railway-arch, Joseph-street. It appeared from the evidence that on the afternoon of June 20th, deceased was amusing himself, with some other boys about his own age, at a game called " cat," when the piece of wood, upon being hit by him, went against some hoops outside the door of the house in the oc cupation of Mr. Lloyd. He came out and struck deceased with his open hand. Deceased ran away, followed by Mr. Lloyd, who, with his clenched fist, struck him on the right side of his face, on which the left side of his head came against the wall of the arch. The effect of the blow caused him to scream violently. He went home, and the next day he complained of his head and face, and was unable to eat his food as usual. From that time his health declined. About a fornight after he received medical attendance, when he sank into a state of insensibility, and died on Friday last. Mr. Cleland, jun., attended the deceased for a short time, and he was of opinion that he had received some injury of the brain, as he was suffering from inflammation of that organ. He was subsequently attended by Mr. Hawkins, of the Commercial-road, who made a post mortem examination of the body, and found a coagulum of blood on the left hemisphere of the cerebrum, of the size of a half-crown. That was the cause of death, and he had no doubt that it was the effect of violence. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against John Lloyd. Lloyd was yesterday committed for trial by the magistrate of the Thames Police-court. CRICKET—MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. THE SURRICT CLUB AND GROUND.—This match was resumed yesterday by Surrey. The total of the innings was 88, thus patting the Marylebone in for 106 to tie. When the tenth wicket fell, however, Maylebone having scored only 64, lost the match by 42 runs. _ AN AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.—The Limerick Chronicle says, .1a fine young girl, daughter of William Shirley, tenant of W. Cox, Esq., Ballynoe, Ballingarry, has become idiotic from terror, at the burning of her father's house and furniture by incendiaries on Monday night last. The former tenant of the house and farm was ejected for non-payment of rent." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY). HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock, but it was a quarter-past before forty Members could be got together to form a House. NEW MEMBER. Mr. Pox MAULS (Secretary at War) took the oaths and his seat as Member for the city of Perth. STOCKPORT IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. BROTHERTON moved the third reading of this Bill. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE hoped the Bill would be, post poned for a few days. A more gross job he never knew, and was astonished it should have proceeded from aLiberal town council. He bad some amendments to propose, of which he had given notice, but they had not been printed with the Votes to-day, as he expected, and therefore he wished the matter delayed, that Members might really know what the amendments were. He hoped, also, the Government would look into the Bill, and see what was the real character of the measure. Unless the Bill were altered he should oppose it in every stage. After some conversation, Mr. BROTHERTON consented to postpone the third reading till Friday next. METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MANURE BILL. Colonel THOMAS WOOD moved, That it be an instruc. tion to the Committee of Selection, that they appoint the sitting of the Committee on the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company Bill for Tuesday, the 21st day of July, if they shall so think fit. That all petitions against the Bill presented on or before Monday, the 20th day of July, be entertained by the Committee, if they shall think fit.—Agreed to. ARGYLL CANAL BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. Mr. ESTCOURT moved, That the Committees upon the Railway Bills comprised in the several groups appointed to sit, on Monday the 20th day of this instant July, have leave to sit and proceed on that day, notwithstanding seven days' notice in respect of such Bills has not been given in the Private Bill-office. And that it be an instruction to such Committees to entertain any petitions against the Bills comprised in their several groups, which shall have been presented to the House on or before Friday, the 17th day of this instant Jul y .— Agreed to. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were agreed Caledonian Railway (Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Railway Branches). Dundee and Perth Railway Amendment. North Union Railway. Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway (Whaley. bridge and Hayfield Branches). LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Leave of absence to Mr. Walker was obtained for one month on account of ill health. COMMITTEE ON PRIVATE BILLS. Mr. HUME moved that Sir George Grey and Lord Ebring. ton be added to the Select Committee on private Bills.— Agreed to. COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS (WESTMINSTER). Mr. HUME moved for an account of all sums rated by the Commissioners of Sewers for the city and liberty of West minster, and part of the county of Middlesex, in each year, between the Ist day of January, 1841, and the 31st day of December, 1845 ; distinguishing the amount collected, at what rate, and how the same has been expended, under distinct and separate heads of Works, Establishment, Con tingent Expenses, &c., in each year, and the aggregate amount in the Ave years ; stating the titles of the Acts of Parliament that have been passed since the Ist day of Jan uary, 1841. Similar account from the Commissioners of the Holborn and Finsbury Sewers,. within Holborn Division, from the Ist day of January. 1841, to the 31st day of December, 1845. Similar account from the Commissioners of the Holborn and Finsbury Sewers, within the Finsbury Division, from the Ist day of January, 1841, to the 31st day December, 1845. Similar account from the Commissioners of Sewers for the Tower Hamlets, from the Ist day of January, 1841, to the 31st day of December, 1845. Similar account from the Commissioners of Sewers within the dis trict called the South Division and the East Division, for the limits extending from East Mouldsey, in Surrey, to Ravensbourne, in Kent, from the Ist day of January, 1841, to the 31st day of December, 1815 (in continuation of Par liamentary Paper, No. 319, of Session 1 843).—Agreed to. SELECT COMMITTEES ON RAILWAYS. Mr. HUME moved that Sir George Grey be added to this Committee.—Agreed to. FUSTIAN CUTTERS. Lord JOHN MANNERS moved that the petition from Manchester and other places, for regulating the trade of fustian cutters (presented on the 13th of July), be printed with the Votes.—Agreed to. SOMERSET SMALL DEBTS BILL. Mr. DICKINSON moved the second reading of the Bill. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Sir G. GREY hoped the Hon. Member who moved the second reading would postpone his Bill, as the Government intended to bring forward a general measure to regulate Small Debts Courts. Should the Hon. Gentleman persist, he must certainly give his opposition to it. Mr. DICKINSON would have no objection to withdraw the Bill, provided - he had an assurance that a general mea sure would be introduced by the Government. Mr. ESTCOURT agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Home Secretary), and should certainly vote against the second reading of the present Bill should it be pushed for ward. He hoped the Government would lose no time in bring ing in a general measure, and that at the same time they would introduce a Bill to regulate the Ecclesiastical Courts. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY thought the Bill exceedingly objectionable. It extended over an area of a million of acres, and contained many provisions of a harsh and objectionable character. After a few words from Mr. DICKINSON, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, he hoped the Government would proceed with the Bill on the subject of Small Debts, which was now before the other House. That Bill was the result of eight years inquiry and much deliberation, and was of a character that would meet all that was required by the Bill now before the House. He hoped the Bill prepared by the Hon. Member (Mr. Dickinson) would be withdrawn. Mr. SPOONER trusted no time would be lost, in pushing forward the general measure, as a remedy for the present state of things in many localities was much wanted. After some further conversation, the Bill was withdrawn. POOR REMOVAL BILL. In reply to a question from Captain PECHELL, Sir G. GREY stated that it was intended to take up this Bill after it had passed through Committe pro forma, and to ask the House to agree to those parts of it which referred to the law of settlement, or which provided for settlement by means of residence. The other portions he proposed should be post poned till a future occasion. —(H ear hear.) SAOKE PROHIBITION BILL. This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. COMMONS INCLOSURE BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Mr. HUME thought all these Inclosure Bills ought to be consolidated into one Act, and rendered comprehensive to people of ordinary capacity. Sir J. GRAHAM admitted that it was usual in passing a new Act of Parliament to consolidate previous Acts on the same subject with it; but the rendering of the whole of the Acts into one Bill, so as to be intelligible to persons of ordi nary capacity, as desired by the Hon. Member, was an utopia which could not be realised. • The Bill then went through Committee pro forma. CHARITABLE TRUSTS' BILL. BillOn the question b e i ng put for the second reading of this , Mr. HUME said a clause ought to be introduced pro viding that the accounts of charitable trusts should be de posited in some place or office, where they could be always open for inspection.—(Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY had no objection to the second reading of the Bill, but it must be understood that he should move, in Committee, certain amendments to remove the objections he had to the present construction of certain clauses, and es pecially to exclude a particular class of charities which were included in the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) A large and com prehensive measure on the same subject was now under the consideration of Government.--(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Dr. BO%VRING, Mr. BERNAL hailed, with feelings of the utmost sa tisfaction, the announcement that Government had under its consideration a large and comprehensive measure upon the subject of charitable trusts. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN was glad to bear that a more comprehensive measure was about to be introduced into Par liament, but while he admitted that great abuses had been ;committed in respect of charitable trusts, he must protest against the idea that Government had any right to inter fere with or control all charitable trusts.—(Hear, hear.) He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. B. ESCOTT said the reason the abuses existed was that the persons whose duty it was to administer the trust laboured under the impression that they were not accountable, and although hereafter a more comprehensive measure might be introduced upon the sub ject, the present Bill applied a partial remedy, and in the meantime it ought to be passed.—( Hear.) After a few words from an Hon. MEMBER, Mr. SPOONER complained that the objects of the Bill were not sufficiently defined. How far was it to extend, or how was it proposed to alter the present law, by which all large charities were amenable to the Court of Chancery? Sir DE LACY EVANS supported the Bill. Mr. ESTCOURT said many charities had not sufficient funds to enable the trustees to employ a clerk, and it was not fair to put the trustees themselves to the expense of e he Go ar. , ) ern tr in n e d n er t existingprepring ei a re c u co m u s n t ts ane f e o s, r registration.—Hear, ?deal divided the House, he should feel it to be to withdraw the Bill ; but if the Hon. Member who move , ' the amen dment, his duty to vote against him.—( Hear, hear.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the present measure was only a small portion of the larger measure introduced by the late Lord Chancellor, and if they could carry out the recommen dation of the Hon. Member for Montrose, there could be no doubt it would act as a most salutary check upon the misapplication of charitable trusts.—(Hear, hear.) He thought they had arrived at that stage at which it was the duty of the Legislature to make the trustees of such charities accountable for the moneys entrusted to them. A measure somewhat similar to the one before the House was passed some years ago, compelling the trustees of turnpike roads to render an annual account of their finances. The adoption of this plan had had the effect of reducing the debts of such trusts from eighty to about forty millions. And the revision of the laws relating to charitable trusts was abso lutely necessary, as there could be no question that the most enormous evils existed in great numbers of the large charities of this country. As he had stated, the time had arrived when all charitable trusts should be compelled to render an annual account of their stewardship. On these grounds he should give his cordial support to the second reading of the Bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE considered that accountability on the part of the trustees would in some measure endow them with a right to dispose of the funds placed in their charge as they thought proper. The House ought to pass any measure of the kind with the greatest caution. Captain EGERTON thought the Hon. Member (Mr. Hume) should give the House further information on the subject before they were in a position to pass a measure placing the charities in connexion with the Church of Eng land, the various colleges, and the Wesleyans and Unitarians, under other supervision than at present. Mr. HUME explained that the subject had for many years been under the consideration of the House, and if they visited the library of the House they would find numbers of volumes having reference to the subject, and detailing the abuses that existed. He had not brought in the Bill without mature consideration • and his only object in doing so was to have the moneys belonging to such charities expended according to the wishes of the donors. Nineteen years ago he proposed a motion, calling on the trustees of turnpike roads to render an annual account of their expenditure, and he thought he should have been ,eaten up in consequence, but when the returns were made and those trusts were placed under better supervision, Hon. Members who then opposed him, admitted the advan tage of the motion, and if it had been carried out to a greater BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JILT 14.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000 bales, 2,000 being on spec u l a tion. Shares have been quiet. There are no arrivals with later news to-day. The American advices, as given in The Sun yesterday, were received in the City very soon after three o'clock, an instance of promptitude and exertion which gave a great deal of satisfaction to the large number of merchants engaged in the trade with the United States and Canada. The cotton crop, next to the Mexican war, was in America the all-absorbing topic, and a New York broker of high standing thus writes upon this subject : " In regard to the crop, public opinion, which has been at variance so much during the season, has centered on 2,050,000 bales, although some parties are disposed to push their estimates a fraction higher. The growing crop has lately commenced to assume an important posi tion in the calculations of future prices for this staple. The Season, throughout the whole extent of that section of the country, has been unpropitious for the plant. During April and May severe rains, accompanied by a remarkably cold temperature, inflicted so much injury as to render re planting necessary over a very large extent of that region. The first bloom of cotton on record this season in Georgia was on the 10th ofJune ; and in the year of the large crop, in 1842, on the 17th May; again, in 1844, another large crop fear, the first bloom there was on the 25th May, and about that date commencing to be general in that section. It is remarkable that there never has been a large crop of cotton raised where the bloom has appeared later than the 26th May ; for long experience has proved that the advantages of a late autumn have never counterbalanced a late bloom." The meeting to raise subscriptions for the sufferers by the Newfoundland conflagration has been held to-day, and there is every reason to hope that the public will respond to the call of the very influential Committee which has taken in hand the task of raising subscriptions. • The Public Securities are again somewhat flat this morn ing, and there is less doing.

The Nuremberg Gazette states that an ordonnance will shortly appear at Vienna, establishing freedom of manufacture in certain branches. The Augsburg Gazette has the following under the head of Carlsruhe : "In the sitting_ of the 4th inst. o f th e second Chamber of the States, the Deputy Bassermann declared that the Ger man Diet did not possess the confidence of the nation, as it did not know how to protect the nati ona l i nterests towards foreigners, a proof of which might be found i n w h a t h a d j ust taken place at Schlesvic Holstein. M. de D usc h .

The Cour Royale of Douai has appointed Coun cillor WANDERWALLEN and the Avocat-General to institute an investigation into the causes of the accident on the Great Northern Railway.

Captain M. MEDoIN, lately commanding the steam corvette Lavoisier, now on the coast of Barbary, has arrived at Toulon, to take the command of the Dante steamer, which is intended to be sent as a present to the Bey of Turns. Captain MEDOIN, with the per mission of the French Government, enters the ser vice of the BEY, and will be placed at the head of his naval force, with from 15,000 to 20,000 francs fixed salary. The engineers of the Dante will also remain in the Tunisian service, and it is considered probable that the BEY will demand the services of other French officers, as it is his intention to organize a small steam navy.
