MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCi, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors have just sepa rated from their weekly court without making any change in the rate of discount. The public have been anxiously awaiting the result, and the lobby of the " parlour" and the several passages of the establishment were thronged by an expectant crowd. A reduction had been generally anticipated—not so much because good reasons could be assigned for a change, as the interests of the mercantile com munity led them to hope for some amelioration from the present stringent condition of the rates for money. The demand this morning has conse quently been almost nominal, but immediately the decision of the court became known, a large num ber of tills which had been held in reserve have been brought forward for negotiation, and the terms required have been the same as yesterday, viz., from to 10 per cent. for the different de scriptions of fine paper. The resuscitation of the English Joint Stock Bank is proceeding satisfactorily. The appointment of an official liquidator being postponed by Vice- Chancellor Wood for a month, in order to enable the new arrangements to be carried out, and to which many of the shareholders and creditors have given their adhesion. It is intended to have a Lon don agency, and to confine business to those branches at which the directors feel assured a good business may be secured. At the Bank yesterday the bullion operations consisted of a withdrawal of 12,000 sovereigns, and an influx of £B,OOO in bar gold. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received on account of New Granada dividend the following remittances :—From the Custom House of Santa Marta, £370 ; from the Custom House of Carta gena, £450 ; making a total of £B2O. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £633 lls. 4d. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. Two O'CLOCK. Considerable depression has prevailed in the markets for stocks and shares, owing principally to the continuance of the rate of discount at its pre sent high value. The English funds have been chiefly affected, • and lower quotations are current. Consols have receded k per cent., to 861 I for money, and 86f 4 for the account The New Threes are 85i 84, and Reduced Annuities, 86 ; Exchequer Bills, Bs. dis. to par ; India Debentures, 100, and ditto Bonds, ss. prem.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, the dealers and speculators being chiefly occupied with the settlement. Prices, however, in most instances exhibit greater firmnesss. Lanca shire and Yorkshire and North-Western have each improved ; Midland, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Eastern each 4 ; and South Western, 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without change of importance. In Bank and Miscellaneous Shares a fair amount of business has been done at in most instances en hancetil rates.

LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Guildhall, before Lord Chie: Justico Erie and a Special Jury.) MYERS V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL WAY COMPANY. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. 11. James appeared foi the plaintiff; and Mr. Harrison for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover damages for in juries sustained through the alleged neglect of the de fendants' servants, to which a plea of not guilty was en tered. The plaintiff is a commercial traveller, and had been for some years employed by a firm in the City, and was also en gaged in business on his own account. He was examined at length, and stated that on Nov. 6th last he was pro ceeding in a northerly direction towards Fore-street, when ho perceived a large van approaching him at the wrong side of the road. lie attempted to avoid it, but before he could get on the pavement the wheel of the van struck a boy who was in front of him a violent blow, and the corner of a box which the boy was carrying was driven into his groin. Ho remained for some time jammed between the •wheel of the van and . the box, and he had not recovered from the effects of his injuries. Prior to the accident he was in receipt of a good salary, and was doing very" well on his own account, but since then he was unable to get up and down stairs without pain, and his duties were consequently materially interfered with. The evidence was conflicting, and the jury found a ver dict for the defendant. His Lordship, on .the application of counsel for the plaintiff, stayed execution until nest term. MR. BENEDICT'S CONCERT. The great concert—we perhaps ought to say the greatmusical festival of the season—was given yes terday morning at St. James's Hall, by Mr. Bene dict, and often as we have had the extreme pleasure of attending the great musical treat, we never recollect witnessing a more brilliant or fashionable audience. The extraordinary temperature of the atmosphere (the thermometer standing at 75 in the shade), it might be thought was disadvantageous as far as attendance of company was concerned, but the wonderful programme issued by Mr. Bene dict, embracing, as it did, the names of all the stars of Her Majesty's 'Theatre and the Royal Italian Opera, combined with the greatest musical celebri ties, both vocal and instrumental, in the world, was more than sufficient to attract an overflowing audience, which, for exquisite toilette, rivalled in beauty the grand displays at Longehamps. The programme consisted of no less than 47 pieces of music ; and amongst the names of the vocal per formers were Mdlle. 'Edens, Mdlle. Pauline Lucca, :Mlle. Biancolini, Mme. Maria Vilda, Mme. Parepa, hldlle. Artot, Mdlle. Enequist, Mdlle. Liebhart, Mule. Irebelli Bettini, Miss Wynn, Signor Fancelli, Mr. Santley, Mr. Sims Reeves, M. Faure, Mr. Tom Hohler, Signor Gardoni, Signor Farranti, Dr. Gun; Signor Garcia, Master Coker, Signor Bettini, and Signor Bossi. The principal instru mentalists were Mr. Benedict, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, Mr. John Thomas, M. Wieniawaski, Sig. Piatti, Herr Ludwig Strauss, and Madame Arabella Goddard. In addition to the above emi nently gifted artistes there was a perfect crowd of other names familiar to concert visitors, but space prevents us giving a longer list than the selection we have made. The concert commenced precisely at half-past one, and the whole of the programme, with a trifling exception, was performed by a quarter past six, during which time, a space of nearly five hours, the" greater part of the audience however retained their seats, and left the hall at the con clusion of the concert without the slightest appear ance of fatigue. The great secret of the concert retaining its charm to 'the last piece on the programme, was owing to the excellent manner in which the pieces were arranged. Unlike many great concerts, Mr. Benedict's is not confined to the Italian language ; he judiciously places in his programme English songs by English artistes, and thus additional charm is given to his entertainment, and the hours fleet by with remarkable speed. It would be impossible for us to remark separately upon each of the pieces of music performed, although each deserved the highest commendation. Such a task would involve upon us, single handed, a five hours' labour; therefore we content ourselves with briefly mentioning the chief pieces in the pro gramme which created greatest enthusiasm, and called forth the most rapturous applause. Mdlle. Biancolini sang Mercadante's aria "Ah ! s'estinto," with faultless expression. After which Master Richard Coker gave Verdi's aria from " I Lombardi" "Non fu sogno" with remarkable power and effect. Mr. Santley perfectly charmed his audi ence by his rendering of Schubert's " Wan derer," and for his new song " On Parting," the words by Lord. Byron, and the music by the Patti, he secured a great success. M. Faure sang " Oh, lieto di," from L'Etoile du Nord, in the most artistic manner, and Mr. Torn Hohler, must have perfectly charmed the majority of the ladies present by his beautiful rendering of Balfe's Ro mance "Si to savais." Mme. Titiens sang in her own unapproachable style the scena from Der Frey schutz, " Softly sighs," and Aldlle. Pauline Lucca called forth great applause by the manner in which she sang Auber's air from " Fra Diavolo," " Quell' uomo." The piece, however, that produced the most rapturous applause was the duet by Madame Parepa, and Signor Farranti, from "Don Pasquili," " Signorina in tanta fretta ;" it was mast hu morously executed, and pleased the audience beyond measure. Mr. Sims Reeves, of course, secured an encore for the scene, " The Lady Mildred," but to our taste he could very easily have selected something more worthy of his talent. The great instrumental piece of the evening was the duo con ecrtant for two pianofortes, by Mr. Benedict and Mr. Lindsay Sloper, and certainly two finer performers on the instrument have not yet been produced. The elastic touch and vigorous treatment by the spirited composition of both gentlemen was beyond all praise—it was perfection of execution, and the applause it elicited was universal and enthusiastic. As both gentlemen rose after its performance they were again loudly cheered, and certainly applause was never more hon ourably won or deservedly bestowed. There were various other items in the programme that we had intended to notice, but we must content ourselves with those we have already mentioned, and close our remarks upon this interesting concert with a word of praise to Mr. Nimmo, who for many years has had the control of the " audi torium." Nothing could be more perfect than his arrangements, as during the entire concert not the slightest confusion occurred, although there must have been between two and three thousand persons present. Remarkable Case of Mistaken Identity, (From the Stu; Fork Times.) Among the many cases of mistaken identity which ha ye occurred in the police annals, none have been publisheLl presenting more singular features than the one we are about to relate. Although the main incidents occurred several years ago, the explanations which served to clear up the mystery have been but recently made. The affair at the time was widely canvassed, the newspapers giving every publicity to the case in its various stages ; and while some of our readers will doubtless remember the interest excited, they will be glad to learn the facts which will disperse the mystery which then surrounded the entire matter. Several years ago Inspector Leonard, then a cap tain of police, received a telegraphic despatch from the police authorities of Providence, Rhode Island, requesting him to arrest John M. Cookson, master of a small coasting schooner plying between Providence and Norfolk, Vir ginia. The accused was charged with having murdered his wife at the little town of Seaconk, near Providence. Capt. Leonard at once set about the task required of him, tufti in a very short timo ascertained that Capt. Cookson's schooner was then lying in this harbour. Ho at once boarded the vessel, and on inquiring for tho master, Capt. Cookson appeared in person. The officer notified him of the charges against him and of his purpose to arrest him. Cookson turned pale, stammered, was confused, and in fact showed all those signs of embarrassment which are gene rally interpreted as evidences of guilt, but may also be the effect of surprise and virtuous indignation. He, how ever, submitted quietly to the arrest, protesting in the most solemn manner his innocence, and declaring that he knew nothing of the whereabouts of his wife, if she was not at home. The officer conveyed his prisoner at once to Seaconk, and there learned the facts which led to the arrest. It appeared that Cookson lived in the outskirts of the village with his wife, with whom he was riot on the best of terms. Quarrels frequently arose between them, but no violence on his part had ever been obsorvod. On a certain morning Cookson and his wife were overheard by the neighbours quarrelling violently. Shortly after wards Cookson started for Providence, and immediately for Norfolk with his schooner. His wife was not seen dur- ing that day nor the following, but no attention had been paid to that fact. On the third day some children. who were picking blackberries near the village, wore attracted by the unusual movements of a dog which accompanied them to a spot where he was pawing up the earth in a frantic manner, and barking violently. On reaching the spot the children were horror-stricken on beholding the faco of a dead woman exposed to view whero the dog was scratching. Tho citizens having been notified of the fact hastened to the scene, and in a short time had uncovered the body of a woman, over whose remains an inch or two of dirt had bean scattered. It was found that the body was frightfully mutilated, and had been sprinkled with quick- lime to aid in its decomposition previous to being covered with earth. The body was conveyed to the village, and there identified as the remains of Mrs. Cookson. The mother and sister of that lady positively identified the body, not only by its general appearance, but by certain marks. Mrs. Cookson's hair was somewhat singular in its colour, and her manner of wearing it was peculiar. She had lost one of her front teeth, and another had been filled with composition. These marks all appeared on the body of the dead person ; and tho mother and sister were not only positive on those points, but also identified the clothing with which the corpse was covered. The fact of the quarrel between Cookson and his wife became known, and the dead body of the woman found in the woods being recognised as that of Mrs. Cookson, led to the belief that that lady had fallen a victim to her husband's violence. Tho despatch to Captain Leonard and tho arrest of Cookson followed. When the prisoner arrived at Soaconk the indignation of the citizens against him was most intense, and for a short time it was feared that lynch law would be called into requisition. Good sense, how ever, guided the citizens, and the prisoner was confined in gaol to await the action of the grand jury. This body soon met, and with little delay found an indictment against John M. Cookson for the murder of his wife. Additional evidence of a circumstantial nature was adduced, calcu lated to remove all shadow of doubt as to the guilt of the accused. It was shown that after the quarrel with his wife the accused had come down to Providence and there purchased a barrel of lime, which had been sent on board his schooner. From this time he was lost sight of for several hours, and the next that was known of him was that ho had boarded his schooner at an unreasonable hour and suddenly put to sea. Tho prisoner explained that he certainly did quarr©l with his wife, and, leaving her in anger, had determined to start upoti his voyage as spe e dily as possible. As he was going to a southern climate in hot weather, he had purchased the lime to be used as a disin fectant on board his schooner. He could suggest no pos sible place where his wife could have concealed herself, and, indeed, had no doubt that the body found was her re mains. His explanations, of course, wore disbelieved, and his fate was considered settled. The prisoner himself thought that there was no possible way by which to establish his innocence—the evidence against him ap peared conclusive, and the only opposition to it he could interpose was his unsupported statement. He abandoned himself to despair, and as the day for his trial approached all hope had fled from his bosom. Arrangements for his trial were completed, the day was fixed, counsel had volunteered to defend to the extent of their ability the seemingly doomed man, when, the day before the trial was to commence, Mrs. Cookson, alive and well, appeared upon the scene and claimed her husband. Of course the prison doors worn opened, and he who had so long stood beneath the shadow of the gallows was restored to society with an unblemished reputation. Mrs. Cook son accounted for her absence by stating that after the quarrel with her husband and his departure for Nor folk she had departed quite as hastily for New Hampshire, where she had been visiting some friends. Being an un educated woman, she had hold no communication with her relatives, and they had been in uttor ignorance of her whereabouts. She returned at tho critical time she did, supposing her husband would have completed his voyage, but not knowing that he was imprisoned on a charge of having murdered her. Tho question then arose, "Who is the woman who has been thus murdered ?" but no satis factory answer could be given, and although the police long devoted their energies to unravelling the mystery, no solution to it could be obtained, and the affair was for gotten. The unfortunate woman slept in the graveyard at Seaconk ; no friend visited her grave, and no one could tell her story. Her sad fate and her remarkable resem blance to another had secured for her Christain burial, and that was all that was known of her. A short time since, Inspector Leonard had in custody a noted burglar, who had long been known to the authorities as being ono of the most skilful of his class. This man gave the inspector a solution of the Seaconk mystery, which has never been printed. He said that the murdered woman was the wife of an export English burglar namodtollins, who is now dead. Collins had long followed his nefarious profession, from the pursuit of which his wife had endeavoured to wean him. She was aware of many of the secrets of the gang to which Collins belonged, and particularly of all the facts connected with a burglary perpetrated at Provi dence shortly previous to her death. The gang had be come suspicious of her, and, fearing that she might expose them, had resolved upon her death. She was accordingly most brutally murdered by her husband and his associates, and her body disposed of in the manner described. Col- lins immediately loft the scone, and shortly afterwards died in prison. The burglar who related these facts know nothing regarding the history of the unfortunate woman, save that she was born in England and was Collins's wife. The old adage that " murder will out" seldom fails, al though its exploitation may somotimesbo delayed until the perpetrator has answered the charge before a oourt from which there is no appeal.

SENDING A CHILD OUT TO BEG.—Mary Ann Eveland, 12 years old, was charged before Mr. Knox, by the Marquis of Townshond, with begging. The Marquis of Townahend said that on the previous night, about half-past 11, the prisoner came up to him in Piccadilly, and asked him for a penny, stating that she was very hungry. As he recognised her as 'a girl ho had charged with begging about two months ago, and who was discharged by Mr. Tyrwhitt, after a week's remand, on the father promising not to send her out to beg again. he gave her into custody. From inquiries he had mapo he had ascertained that the father was a very bad character. Sergeant Mince, 5 C, said that ho was called by the Marquis to take the girl into custody on the previous night. lie saw her begging, and as soon as she saw him she ran away. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said ho had seen the girl nightly about begging. Mr. Knox said he would have the girl sent to tho work house for a week, with the view of getting her into a re fuge, and her parents would then attend. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH A DAUGHTER'S MISDE HAVIOPR.—Jane Davis, a needlewoman, living in Little Pulteney-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with at tempting to commit suicide, by taking oxidil acid. Police-constable Wilson, 110 C, said that yesterday evening he was ordered to No. 3, Little Pulteney-street, and informed that the defendant had taken poison. He found the defendant with some stuff in a tumbler, and on asking her wby she had taken it, she said 'it was through trouble. The defendant was taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, and there an emetic was administered. Inspector Bowles said he understood the defendant had taken oxalic acid. The defendant said she was a widow, and that it was her.da,ughter's misbehaviour had caused her to act as she had done. She did not know where her daughter was. H e r daughter was 17 years o f age, and the only child she had alive. She was sorry for what she had done. The defendant's brother then came forward and said he would do all he could to prevent her repeating the act. Mr. Knox remanded the defendant for a week, so that she might have the advice of the chaplain of the House of Detention. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION. -- George Kellar, a licensed victualler, of the Old Clock House, 132, Royal Mint-street, alias Rosemary-lane, and Attila Quinter were brought before Mr. Paget charged with keeping a disor derly house at No. 1, Little Prescott-street, Whitechapel, near the end of the Minories. Mr. Mitchell, solicitor and vestry clerk of Whitechapel, who said he was set in motion by two inhabitants, con ducted the prosecution. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, de fended Kellar. The warrants made out were for the apprehension of two persons named Hight, and Mr. Mitchell said the parties who conducted the disorderly house had assumed various aliases. Mr. Paget said he should receive the names which the parties now gave. The prisoners aro natives of Germany, and evidence was given that the woman Quinter conducted the - house in Prescott-street and its nefarious business, received the pro fits thereof, and that it was a most notoriously infamout , place. The scenes which the witnesses noticed were too revolting to be published. The case against the woman was clearly made out. Sho told Howland, 89 K, the con stable who arrested her, that she was not married, that she had three children in Germany, and that if she was allowed one day, she would return to her own country. Sho also said that she paid .£2 18s per week to Mr. Killar, who was her landlord. Evidence was also given that Killar had been frequently seen in the house, and that directly after she was arrested last night he closed the house. Daniel Davey, a police-sergeant, No. 3 11, said th a when he took Kellar into custody he said that ho had only to do with the furniture. Mr. Charles Young—That is really so ; he sold her the furniture, and she was paying off the debt by weakly in stalments. He is not the proprietor or manager of this infamous place. Mr. Paget would hear Mr. Mitchell on the point whe ther Kellar ought not to be committed. 7,..Mr. Mitchell, acting for a public body, would withdraw the case against Kellar. Mr. Paget_then committed the woman Quinter for trial, She was asked if she had any bail, and she said Mr. Kollar, her landlord, and a gentleman named James, at the West-end, would bo her bail. Mr. Charles Young would advise Mr. Kellar to have nothing to do with the matter. The woman in default of bail was committed.: WESTMINSTER. IDLE PAUPERS.—George Saston, a young man, was charged with refusing to perform the labour to which he, as a pauper, maintained by the parishes of St. Margaret's and St. John's, was set. A relieving officer produced copies of the rules and regu lations duly made by the guardians for the control of the poor. On the 20th inst. the defendant was in the wash house, and on the following morning applied to witness for relief. Ile gave him S3lllO bread, and handed him a ticket to go to work at the stone yard, but, as ho after wards learned, he never wont, but he again prosontod him self for relief and received it, and again refused to do the work allotted to him. Mr. Arnold—Did he complain of the work being unfit or anything of that sort ? Witness—No, ho did not. Mr. Arnold—Nor of illness ? Witness—No, or he would have boon sent to the doctor. lie appeared in very good health. The Superintendent of the stonoyard said that defend ant did not come to work, and when witness mot him and told him ho would got into trouble, he said ho did not care—he should not go to work. Mr. Arnold—What could ho earn per day ? Superintendent—When ho worked he could earn ls. 7d. per day. Mr. Arnold (to defendant) What have you to say ? Defendant —Nothing. I could not earn sufficient. Mr. Arnold—The superintendent says you could earn ls. 7d. Defendant—Not always. Mr. Arnold—On this occasion it is quite clear you would not help. You never went to the stoneyard at all, and although you would not for your living, you again applied for relief. You havo had a former caution and escaped for this sort of thing, and I shall now commit you to hard labour for 14 days. LYCEUM THEATRE.—Mr. Fechter's benefit is fixed for next Saturday, whou the public will have the last opportunity that can occur this season of witnessing his famous impersonation of Hamlet. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—A supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday contains Orders in Council, dated June 27, 1866, revoking so much of an Order prohibiting the importation of cattle from the domi nions of the King of the Netherlands as would apply to cattle the produce of the provinces of Friesland and Gronin gen, parts of the said dominions, and authorising any such cattle to bo imported into any port or place in Great Britain from the ports in Harlingen, in the province of Friesland, and Delfzyl, in the province of Groningen, only, subject nevertheless to all the regulations heretofore or hereafter to be made by the Lords of the said Council, or by any local authority under the order of such Lords, applicable to the importation of foreign cattle or sheep into any port or place in Great Britain. Her Majesty, with the advice of her Privy Council, has ordered that on and after July 1, 1866, no horn, hoof, raw or wet hide or skin of any such cattle as aforesaid shall be imported or introduced into the United Kingdom which shall come from, or shall have been at, any place within the dominions, situate in Europe, belonging to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, other than the provinces of Friesland and Groningen; and also that on and after the said Ist of July, no horn, hoof, raw or wet hide or skin of any such cattle shall be im ported into the United Kingdom which shall have been on board any vessel at the same time with any cattle which shall have come from or shall have been within the afore said territories and dominions other than the said provinces of Frieslan and Groningen.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sai yesterday. Present—Lord Wensleydale, Sir J, Coleridge. and Sir L. V. With.=ls. What are th, Police About ? A writer in a contemporary says the advice which Mr. Bright gave to the mob at Easter is now being followed. Every day a gang of ruffians is permitted to assemble in Palace-yard and to insult members of Parliament proceeding to and returning from the discharge cf their duties. This is done, not only without an attempt at pre vention on the part of the police, but apparently with their sanction or connivance. Yesterday the disturbers of the peace were drawn up in ranks abreast with the police, and as I passed along the line I observed a fellow who was standing next a policeman hoot a member of Parliament, and the policeman took no notice whatever of the offender. This, I suppose, is what your reporter, writing ap parently without an adequate sense of the import ance of the subject, refers to, when he speaks of the actors in this disgraceful and illegal proceeding as being " very good humoured and easily amenable to police regulations !" Your reporter states that " Sir John. Pakington, for the moment, had some difficulty in managing his horse amid the expres sions of disapprobation which his appearance ex cited among tho same group." This " group,' , we are informed, had previously been insulting other members of Parliament. Sir J. Pakington had reason to congratulate himself on his man agement of his steed ; but a less skilful horse man might, under such circumstances, have had to bewail a broken limb or fractured head, for there are few things which startle a horse more than a shouting crowd on each flank. One asks, in as tonishment, why this flagrant breach of the law is permitted, if not encouraged, on the very threshold of the Chambers in which the laws are made, and of the courts in which they are administered ? If a poor girl with a basket on her arm were to attempt to sell oranges in Palace-yard, the police would soon direct her to " move ou," and if sho refused would lock her up. Should you think fit to publish this communica tion to-morrow morning, Sir It. Mayne will know what course he is required to take in the afternoon and for the future. THE VOLUNTEERS. -- Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott, district inspector, reviewed the Bedfordshire Volunteers, numbering 400 rank and filo, at Ampthill-park, on Tues day, in the presence of a laige number of spectators. Tho battalion, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Hastings Russell, M.P., received the inspector in line. After the usual field movements, two companies were sent out between wooded knolls, two marched up a ravine as supports, and the re mainder kept in the rear as the reserve. When the summit of the hill had been gained the skirmishers were called in, and the whole formed into lino. They then poured a suc cession of volleys into the ret rea ti ng enem y. At the con clusion, Lieut.-Colonel Elli o tt a dd resse d t h e me n, and told them that for Volunteers th e i r movemen t s h a d been exe cuted with great steadiness and precision. Tho volley firing and skirmishing were much superior to what he had frequently witnessed. He congratulated Colonel Russell in commanding so good a regiment. The battalion were then marched to an enclosure, where they piled arms, and were entertained by Colonel Russell at a collation provided for them under a tent. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

Their lordships assembled this evening, but the busi ness was solely confined to giving the Royal assent to a number of public and private bills. HOUSE OF COMMONS--Tars EVENING. The Srv.Axvn took the chair at four o'clock. There was a pretty full attendance, and previous t o - th e commencement of public business, the various members formed themselves into separate groups —the subject, it is presumed, under discussion being the state of the Govern ment. IBLACKWATER (YOUGHAL) WOODEN BRIDGE - BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. CHILDERS, on the part of the Government, said he had to oppose the motion because the consent of the Crown to the measure had been refused. He was interested to the extent of a large sum of money, which had been ad vanced, and, therefore, having directed the attention of the house to the circumstance, he Loped somo notice would be taken of the matter. The Crown could not appear -and oppose the bill in a private committee, and th ere f or e he adopted the present course of calling the attention of the house to the subject. The SPEAKER said the consent of the Crown not having been given to the bill he could not put the thi r d reading.

CHOLERA AT LIVERPOOL. In reply to Mr. SAlrtEtsoN, Mr. BRUCE said he bad received private information of the existence of a nuisance at Liverpool which might re sult in an outbreak of cholera. There were certain diffi culties in the way with respect to the pow or of the local authorities, but steps were now being taken to prevent any evil arising. _ PUBLIC MEETING. Mr. B. COCHRANE said he had seen an announcement fora large public meeting in the vicinity of that house, and what he wished to know was whether it was legal to hold such a meeting. Sir G. GREY said he had not seen the announcement referred to, but it was illegal to hold a meeting, except to petition Parliament, within a mile of the House of Com mons. If the hon. gentleman would forward him a copy of the announcement, he would inquire into the matter. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said on Monday night he stated that most probably he should have on Thursday to ask for a further adjournment. He had had a communication with the Earl of Derby, and in order that his arrangements might make convenient progress, ho wished an adjournment of the house for a week. He therefore had come down to ask the house to adjourn for that period; but he, however, found that there were cer tain arrangements with respect to the Helstone Elec tion Committee, and therefore he proposed that' the house should meet to-morrow and Monday for the transac tion of matters relating to the election committoa. After that had been completed on Monday, he should on that day ask the house to adjourn until Thursday, The SPEAKER was about to put the motion, when Mr. B. OSBORNE said, before the motion was put, he wished to make a few observations. The position of the country at the present critical juncture of affairs was peculiar. A t home, they had a commercial panic, with the Bank of England charging ten per cent., and a threatened attack on Canada. Abroad, there was revolution in Spain, a war in Germany and Italy, and in the face of all this the country had been left with out a responsible Government for eight days. He •con demned the conduct of the Government in resigning office, because they had been beaten merely on a matter of detail. The Government had thrown up their cards and left the great Liberal party in the lurch. (Hear, hear, and laugh ter.) He felt that the Government had acted decidedly wrong in resigning office until the feelingof the house had been tested on the amount of the borough franchise. (Hear.) He, for one, wanted to know what had become of It had never been called had been left in the lurch by its leaders, and now th ey ttohgeegthreeart; Liberal as heh p a a d rt sa y id (H be e fO r ra ) , the great Liberal p ar t y T o her e e r s w id e e re of raa th h e y ho h u il s l e e a w s e t re he aW re u su t l ts3 t of that ttrahantsP°dertesertdit°on.the other of the utmost importance which he supposed, for the present session at least they should hear no more of. There was the Bankruptcy Bill for instance—(hear, hear)—and the Tenure of and (Ireland) Bill—(hear, hear)—and nume rous others, all of which must be sacrificed, because, for sooth, the Government chose to waste a whole session upon. one bill. They were, he believed, about to have a new Government, composed of gentlemen who were that even ing conspicuous by their absence—(hear, hear)—but what ever Government they might have he felt bound, as a public member of that house, however much he might regret the resignation of the old Government to give it a fair trial, and lie also felt that it would be his duty for the remainder of the session to offer no factious opposition. He felt the majority of the members would agree to such a course, because at the present peculiar position of affairs it was of the utmost importance that the Government, of whatever materials it was composed, should be firmly supported by the house. (Hear, hear.) He moved the adjournment of the ho use . Colonel KNOX seconded the motion, and said he wished the right honourable gentleman opposite would answer the question he put to him ; it was whether London was to be handed over to mob • law. Last night London was in a state of siege, and at the meeting held in Trafalgar-square one of the speakers asked the assemblage to meet him again on Monday next in Whitehall, opposite the window where King Charles was beheaded, in order that they might assert their just rights. The hon. secretary has just said he knew nothing of the, meeting held last night, be should like to know what he knew of the meeting to be held on Monday next. Sir G. GREY said the hon. gentleman had misunder stood him. He know the meeting was to be held, and proper steps to prevent a breach of the peace were taken by his direction. NEWDEGATE hoped the house would show no signs of alarm. It was very natural that there should be a great number of people in Palace-yard on such an occasion, but as for a mob taking possession of Palace yard, that was absurd, because they had a force which could put such persons down. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the considerations which led to the resignation of the Govern ment were thought to be of commanding weight to dictate the course pursued. With respect to the Incoming Govern ment, he was prepared to go further than the hon. member for Nottingham, because ho carefully limited the time to which he would give it no faetious opposition to the end of the session. Ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was, as he had said, prepared to go further than that. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the Go vernment resigning because they had been beaten on a point of detail, he could not agree in such a statement. It was quite true that her Majesty had requested delay b e f ore deciding, but after a personal interview with ber Majesty she was quite convinced that her Ministers had preserved the strictly proper course. The motion for the adjournment of the house was then withdrawn. One or two bills were then forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned until to-morrow at 4 o'clock.
