The money market is a little better supplied with capital to-day, and bankers and brokers have shown More readiness to negotiate business a fraction lower than the official minimum.

The accounts f rom th e manu f actur i ng d i str i cts for the p ast week have in some measure been of a favourable character, although at Manchester there has been considerable fluctuation consequent upon the late advices from America. Prices of yarns have advanced id. to Id. per lb., while there has been a f air inquiry for cloths at fully late rates. In the woollen t ra d e of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield t here has been a slight improvement, while at Lei cester and Nottingham more animation has pre vailed in the hosiery and lace departments. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, business has continued steady without a ny material change to report, except in thq iron trade, which exhibits symptoms of renewed activity.

An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Royal Sardinian Railway Company was held to-day... H. R. Grenfell, M.P., in the chair. The object of the meeting was to raise £663,317 for the Completion of portions of the railway ; and with this view it was proposed to create 60,000 nomina tive preference shares of £lO each, to call up all arrears, and to make a further call of £1 per share upon the old £2O shares. These latter shares are to be reduced to £lO each, MARKETS--=This 'DAT The attendance of horns and-continental buyers' has .been large ; nevertheless, owi,ng to the large supply in the market, prices of nearly all descriptions of produce have given way, Port Philip, as compared with last sales, show ing a reduction in value of ld. to lid. ; greasy, Adelaide, id. to ld. ; New Zealand ; ld. ; and greasy, Cape, id. to ld. per lb.

The meeting at Chester was a great success, but owing to the unpropitious state of the weather was not patronised so numerously as it otherwise would have been. There were starters for the ,Chester Cup, one more than last year; the absentees of the 27 "coloured" being Brada mante (7), Redcap (8), Chocolate (16), East Lynne (21), Terror (25), and Sidewind (26). John Day, as last year, ran three—Ackworth, Lord Zetland, and The Grinder ; the Marquis of Hastings and Mr. Barber alone starting a " second string" to " do the needful" for the two favourites. The only other stable with a couple of representatives was Scott's, of Holywell, which comprised Buckfoot and Farce ; whilst Wm. Day, who carried off the Cup in 1856 with the latter's dam (One Act), and has invariably been " with them" here for many years past, had nothing at the meet ing, owing to the going amiss of Mail Train. Nor had John Scott, John Osborne, Tom Dawson, or Godding— names more or less associated with the great Roodee prize —a starter on this occasion. Mr.T. Hughes, as a matter of course, indulged the natives with a peep at another of his "yearlings," who has been backed to win the Cesare witch, Liverpool Steeplechase, Oaks, and all the leading races during the last ten years ; and a great many confidently believed in a' repetition by Mr. Hughes of his lastyear's coup with Flash in the Pan, in similar weather; forgetting, however, that the present performer has long since entered his "teens." The Brewer previously ran for this Cup in 1859 (six years old), 1860, and 1861, having begun his racing career (as Emulator) by winning the Harpenden Handicap just ten years ago, while it was the second appearance of Oldminster, Change (who was such a "pot" last year), and Lord Zetland, whose starting was only decided upon after the rain came. The "sister kingdom," after an interregnum of some duration--great are the changes on the Irish Turf since the days of Cruiskeen, Harkaway, Mickey Free, Ould Ireland, Coranna, St. Law rence, Peep o' Day, which latter trio carried off the great Cestrian prize three years in succession—put in an appear ance again with Leprochaun, who wore an exercise -hood, which created an unfavourable impression against the conqueror of Caller Ou at the recent Curragh meeting ; and France had a couple of representatives in La Toucques and Soumise, the former of whom came out appar rently as sound as ever—a triumph of training skill— after a long absence caused by the filling of one of her legs (which was bliStered no fewer than seven times) during her preparation for the Goodwood Cup last summer. There was no " chopping and changing" of jockeys at the last moment, and though it was imagined that Grimshaw or Carroll would be on Helen (who carried 11b. overweight, and was ridden by Ward without a whip), the former rode the horse he was originally engaged for (Lion), and Carroll steered Buckfoot. Aquestion was submitted to the stewards beforehand respecting the latter's liability to a 51b. penalty for winning the Willoughby Handicap, worth £2OO, " in cluding his own stake" at the Warwick Spring Meeting, on which occasion, it will be remembered, Buckfoot " played old gooseberry" with his friends by upsetting a " pot" on his stable companion, Stanton ; and as the Cup conditions contained a special clause to that effect, it was decided in the affirmative, which had the effect of driving him back in the betting from 100 to 8 to 20 to 1, though the confidence of his stable, who have sadly "messed" matters with this horse, was in no degree shaken by his extra weight. The betting became very bad at last, according to . the bookmakers, though noticeable for two or three important changes, the great feature being the furore to get on Gratitude, who loft off fourth favourite at 7 to 1, the continued support of the Highflyer's dam colt, the advance of The Brewer to 100 to 6,and the decline of Victorious and the 3lcestissima filly. The only young ono at all firm was Lion, whose chance, as well as that of all the three year olds amongst turned loose old ones, with the ground in such a state, was ridiculed by all racing men of experience and judgment ; and The Grinder's mission, it was pretty generally supposed, was on behalf of his stable companion. At one moment, imme diately after The Clown's victory, Helen looked like dis placing Ackworth in the betting, as she became quite as good a favourite, and in a few instances was backed at 4 to 1; but the Danebury horse recovered his position before the start, and left off unmistakably with the call, the last investment on the part of his noble owner being 300 to 100, though far below the market price, which, after " comparing " with the • leading bookmakers, cannot be returned at loss than 4 to 1, albeit half a point less was taken in a great many cases. The race was preceded by a delay of upwards of three quarters of an hour, and it need scarcely be added a great many false starts occurred, for causing which the ringleaders were very properly reported to the Stewards, and punished, as the breaks away in several instances were perfectly unjustifiable —even when some of the horses were walking back directly in front of the main body ! It was fortunate this delay did take place, or the race might have resulted in a fiasco, owing to Mr, M'George mistaking the starting-post, which would have necessitated a "second heat," if the start had taken place in the straight. At length, however, at forty-seven minutes past three, the signal was given, and all got away in capital order except Farce, whose previous misbehaviour caused no regret at being left behind. Of the three-year olds Lion and Grinder alone showed prominently at any part of the race—the latter in racing with the fea ther-weighted Macbeth (to secure a pace for their respective stable companions, Ackworth and Helen), during the whole of the first round, and to the Workhouse turn beyond the Stand the last time, when both retired, whilst Lion lived with the front lot until near the half-mile post, and then gave way beaten. These three, with Helen, the High flyer's dam colt, and Leprochaun, formed the vanguard from the start; and when The Grinder and Macbethretired from the contest at the point already indicated, Helen took up the running, but the Highflyer's dam colt joining her before she had proceeded far, these two raced side by side, first one's head, then the other's, showing in advance along the Dee side, followed so closely by Leprochaun as to in dulge the fielders with hopes of a "turn up" by the suc cess of the Irish horse; whilst Gratitude (who could not have won with a stone less on her back), after running forward for a mile and a half, was nowhere visible now, and Ackworth and La Toucques were in trouble nearly half a mile from home, when Buckfoot, who emerged from the ruck at the commencement of the last round, passed them full of running, and overhauling the leading trio was well up with them at the Grosvenor turn. The excite ment became intense as the two favourites came round the last turn abreast, the white cap of Helen (who was next the rails) being sufficiently in advance to account for the enthusiasm with which the success of the local mare was proclaimed by her numerous partisans ; but her fate was sealed before reaching the distance, where the Irish horse —mistaken by many for Victorious, as besmattered with mud were horses, jockeys, and "colours "—was in trouble, and the Highflyer's dam colt appeared to have the race in hand, when Carroll brought up Buckfoot with a tremendous rush, and passing Leprechaun and Helen below the Stand, overhauled the leader so rapidly that Hibberd had to set-to in earnest to defeat the Holywell horse by a neck. The overlooked 51b penalty just turning the scale, and prevent ing Buckfoot quite getting up, though so close was the finish that the hoisting of the winner's number at the chair alone relieved the anxiety of the spectators at any distance from the goal—Carroll thus being second two years in succession for the same owner, who would have landed a reeker" on each occasion. The only noticeable feature in connection with the Derby betting has been the increased support awarded to Gladia teur and the knocking out of Zambesi and Chattanooga, one well-known bookmaker having laid a level £5O that the latter would not see the starter. There aro two meetings this week, viz., York an d Salisbury, but the principal race is the Great Northern Handicap. There will, in all probability, be about 20 starters, selected from the following (those marked with an asterisk are doubtful) : Age st lb Age st lb La Toucques 5 8 10 F by Stockwell-- *Gibraltar ... ... a 8 2 dam by Pyrrhus Stanton (inc 51b ox) a 711 the First ... 4 613 *The Clown ... 4 7 10 Gondola. ... 4 6 13 Welcome ... 6 7 9 Revival ... 4 6 13 *Gratitude... ... 5 7 7 Castle Espie 4 612 Greville ... 4 7 4 Finesse ... 4 612 *Joco ... 5 7 4 *Sidewind (in 71b ex) 3 6 7 Cathedral ... 4 7 4 *Huntsman's Daugh 5 6 6 Buckfoot (in 51b ex) 4 7 3 Macbeth (in 51b ex) 4 6 5 Battaglia ... 4 7 0 *Jeannette 4 6 0 Claxton ... ... 4 7 0 Club Queen 3 5 7 Flatterer 4 7 0 Flying Horse 3 5 7 La Toucques ran well for two miles in the Chester Cup, but she will be more worth trusting later in the season. Welcome is sure to turn out the best of the Whitewall divi sion. Cathedral will run well, if he does not quite win. Macbeth will turn out tho best of Mr. Barber's, as The Clown would prefer a shorter distance. Battaglia is not over-weighted, and is likely to represent Mr. Robinson in stead of Gratitude. Buckfoot, the outsider that I selected for second in the Chester Cup, and who obtained the posi tion that I awarded him, although four and five to one at starting could have been obtained about him for a situa tion, is now first favourite. There is a great variety of opinion what weight he ought to carry. The following aro tho conditions of the Great Northern Handicap : " The Great Northern Handicap of 200 sovs, in specie, aided to a Sweepstakes of 20 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 if declared; the winner of any handicap value 1,000 sovs after March 1 at 10 a.m. 141 b, of one of 500 sovs 101 b, of of one of 200 sovs 71b, of one of 100 sovs, or the second for one value 1,000 sovs, 51b extra; the second to receive 50 sovs. Two miles. 72 subs. 19 declared." From the above it will be seen that the Willoughby Handicap was worth 200 soya, including the winner's own stake, which makes him 71b extra, and that running second for the Chester Cup gives him another 51b ; but competent judges assert that the winner's stake in the Willoughby Handicap is not included in the conditions of the Great Northern Handicap, which would reduce his penalty to 51b as only having won over £lOO ; but still there is the other penalty for running second in the Chester Cup, which would make his penalty up to 101 b. The conditions of the race do not say that penalties are accumulative, and in that case he can have no more than 51b extra, being exactly the same weight he carried in the Chester Cup. Claxton is likely to do a good thing at last. He has been long in reserve, and now his party are seemingly in earnest. His forward running in the Metropolitan ought to entitle him to the greatest respect. He belongs to Lord St. Vincent, the owner of Lord Clifden, who seldom makes any mis take. In conclusion. I think the judge will place CLAXT ON 1 WELCOME 2 GONDOLA or LA TOUCQUES 3 A FRESH MAN, MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was far from active. Prices, however, both of red and white produce ruled firm. For barley, oats, beans, and peas, there was a steady demand, at full quotations. The flour trade was steady, on former terms. Ou the Continent, there is a fair average business pass ing in wheat and spring corn, at full quotations. At New York the trade for wheat and flour continues dull. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 7,696 quarters of wheat ; 8,653 barley ; 58,922 oats ; 1,520 rye; 490 beans; 110 peas; 30 tares; 17,269 linseed; 9,214 rapeseed; 440 sundry seeds; and 1,404 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderato, but the condition of the produce was good ; several samples, in deed, were received of excellent quality. The trade opened with considerable firmness, and factors held all qualities at enhanced rates. Millers, however, as a rule, were un willing to operate at any advance in the quotations ; con sequently sales progressed slowly. The bulk of the trans actions was at the full prices of MondaY last, selected parcels commanding, in some instances, ls. per qr. more money. A fair clearance had, at the close of business, been effected. The market was somewhat scantily supplied both with American and Continental wheats. Good and fine old Baltic wheats were in request, at extreme rates, and all other descriptions changed hands at very full prices. Floating cargoes of wheat and spring corn moved off steadily, and were disposed of at fully late rates. The malting season may now be considered over. The dercland for malting barley to-day was in consequence in a sluggish state, at about previous quotations. Grinding and distilling barley, although in short supply, met a slow sale ; nevertheless, prices ruled stationary. A fair business was transacted in malt at full prices. There was a large supply of oats on the stands, chiefly of foreign growth. The trade was quieter than on Monday last. Good and fine qualities supported previous rates ; but inferior parcels declined in value 6d. per quarter. Very few beans—either English or foreign—were on offer. The trade was firm for all qualities, at very full prices. Peas, which were in short supply, changed hands at the extreme rates of Monday last. Best descriptions of flour were in steady request, and prices ruled firm. The supply of American flour on sale was small. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

Both for beasts and sheep the demand ruled steady at quite previous rates. The quality of the stock was but middling. _ _ _ Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts wero very moderate, in fair condition. There was a good supply from Scotland, of excellent quality, but the receipts from Ireland were very limited. In nearlS , all breeds there was a steady demand at fully last Monday's currency, and in some instances a slight advance. The general top price was 4s 10d, but a few very superior Scots realised 5s per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,200 Scots and crosses, from other parts of England 500 of various breeds, from Scotland 881 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 60 oxen and heifers. The supply of English sheep on sale was very moderate, but the quality of most breeds was good. The mutton trade was very firm. Good and fine Downs and half-breds changed hands at an advance in prices from Monday last of 2s per 81b, and all other breeds sold at fully late rates. The top price was 6s 2d per 81b. Lambs, the supply of which on sale was but moderate, realised previous quotations. Good and prime breeds sold readily, the top quotation being 8s per 81b.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT THE EAST INDIA UNITED SERVICE CLUB.— Joseph Bliss, a young man in the employ of Mr. William Andrews, master sweep, Angel-court, King-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing at the East India United Service Club two meerschaum pipes, the property of Major Thomas Keernan, a member of the club. Mr. Wrg. Stretch, steward of the club, said—On Friday fortnight the prisoner came to the clubhouse, 14, St. James's square to sweep a chimney. Having finished his job, in stead of leaving he went up to the smoking-room, telling one of the servants who met him on the stairs that he had business there. Shortly after, two merschaum pipes, tho property of Major Keernan, a member of the club, were missed, and 1 subsequently received them from prisoner's master. Tyrrell, 590 A.-1 apprehended prisoner yesterday, and on telling him he was charged with stealing two pipes from the East India United Service Club, he replied, " Oh, that's all settled." Mr. William Andrews, master sweep, of Angel-court, King-street, St. James's—The prisoner was in my employ on the night the pipes were missed. I spoke to the pri soner, and he admitted taking them, and handed them to Mr. Mansfield—Why was there such delay in giving the prisoner into custody ? Witness—lt was not decided what course should be taken till Major Keernan was seen. Inspector Draper—The boy was discharged by Mr. An drews and could not be found. Prisoner—l am guilty. I have worked hard all my life. Mr. Mansfield—What did you mean by saying it was settled ? Prisoner—l understood that, if I gave the property up, the gentleman would not prosecute. Mr. Andrews—l told him I did not know what course would be pursued till they heard from Major Keernan. I always believed the prisoner to be honest. Mr. Mansfield—l cannot help thinking the prisoner re turned the property under some impression that if he did so he would not be prosecuted. Remanded. THAMES. THE EVILS OF LEAVING-SHOPS.—A poor woman named Anne Desmond came before Mr. Paget, and complained of the illegal and oppressive conduct of a " leaving-shop keeper," named Walker, in- New Gravel-lane, Shadwell. •The applicant pawned her bed for 35., about nine months ago, and she applied to Mrs. Walker to redeem it one day last week, She was told the interest would be 2d. for each shilling, to which she made no objection, and was directed to call in the evening for the bed. She did so, and was then informed that the bed was sold to a rag dealer, and that she could not have it. She went to the rag dealer, named by Mrs. Walker, and was informed that the bed had not been sold there, and that it was not likely a good bed would be sold for rags. Mrs. Walker also received a pair of trousers a fortnight ago, and refused to restore them. Mrs. Walker had been in the practice of taking as interest 2d. in every shilling, whether the articles are in pawn one month or twelve months. Mr. Paget inquired if the leaving-shop keeper gave the applicant a proper memorandum or ticket, describing each article and the sum lent when pawned. Mrs. Desmond said no duplicates, were written or given out. Mr. Livingston, chief usher, said leaving-shop-keepers never gave any duplicates or memorandums to their cus tomers, who were entirely at their mercy. Mr. Paget said he would grant a summons against the leaving-shop keeper and her husband, for a violation of the Pawnbrokers' Act. RUFFIANISM IN A PUBLIC STREET.—Thomas Roberts, tall young man, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting. Joseph Cotty, of No. 15, Green wood-street, Mile-end, who appeared in court with his head bandaged and contusions on his face. The complainant, a lad who is in the employment of Mr. Morton, an engineer, in Wapping, was passing along the Commercial-road on Saturday night, and, in passing, he came in contact with a female wearing an ugly and incon venient crinoline, and was tripped up. The female struck him, and the prisoner, with whom she was talking, hit him several times with his fist, and when he was on the ground kicked him under the jaw. The lad, fearing he should be murdered, took to his heels. He was followed by the priso ner, who knocked him down again, kicked him on the right eye, which was fearfully cut, and tore his coat to pieces. On his way to the station house ho was struck by one of the prisoners' companions, who was in court. John Grant, 137 K, heard cries of " police" on Saturday night. He saw the complainant bleeding, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner was drunk and vio lent, and threw him twice. The prisoner was under on both occasions. A lad named Henry Shaper also confirmed the statement of Co tty. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a most brutal assault on the complainant, and also on the police-con stable. It was not to be endured that decent youths were to be maltreated in the streets with impunity. He sen tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA TELEGRAPH.—The re-opening of this telegraph for the transmission of mes sages is announced, a telegram having been received from Malta, dated the 13th May, 4 14 p.m., conveying intelli gence of the successful completion of the repairs on the in terrupted section of the line between Benghazi and Alex andria. DR. TEMPLE, THE HEAD MASTER OF RUGBY'S SCHEME OF REFORM.—He would disfranchise all boroughs with less than 10,000 i n h a b itants, gaining thereby 111 seats ; and take away the second seat from all boroughs with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants, so gaining 50 seats; ho would then double the number of members in every county, keeping the present elections for the remaining boroughs and the counties as they are, but elect the added members on a different plan, namely, by all rate payers, whether living in boroughs and entitled to borough votes already, or in the rural districts. THE HEIGHT OF M AGNANIMITY!—The Czar has declared his second son, Alexander, heir to the throw.; of Russia, and it is stated in Continental papers that the late Czarewitch req ues t e d th e secon d one to carry out his engagement with the Princess Dagmar. IRISH CHURCH STATISTICS. —Members of the Established Church number, say, 690,000 ; Presby terians, 520,000 ; Dissenters, 76,000 ; a total of Protes tants, say a million and a quarter ; Roman Catholics, four and a half millions. The Established Church has 2 archbishops, 10 bishops, 2,200 clergy; " net annual in come," ir.cluding money through the Ecclesiastical Com missioners, some £700,000 per annum. The Presbyterians (but certain of them refuse to share in it) receive from Go vernment a Regium Donum of £40,000 a year, giving some £7O to each minister. This originated in a small gift of Charles 11. out of the Secret Service money. Tho Metho dists, Baptists, and Independents support themselves. The Catholics have 4 archbishops, 24 bishops (all ap pointed by the Pope), about 3,000 priests, and numerous monks, friars, and nuns. Parliament gives a yearly rent to Maynooth College, for the education of priests. This sum excepted, the vast clerical organi sa ti on i s supporte d by foes on marriages, baptisms, and funerals, by Christmas and Easter dues, and by voluntary contributions in money or labour. Churches, convents, &c., are b u ilt by sub scriptions, legacies, and collections. Wond er f u l exer ti ons in this way have been made in the last 20 years, and have given birth to conspicuous and showy Roman Catholic edifices in every part of Ireland, but much of the money has been contributed from other countries, Sheep.

The Earl of WICKLOW drew the attention of their lordships to the circumstances connected with the inquiry instituted into the alleged defalcations of Mr. Edmunds, and said that, ;there being no check on the Clerk of Patents was a very defective state of the law, and required amend ment. He wished to ask the noble and learned lord, the Lord Chancellor, if it was intended to introduce any bill to meet this grievance. Earl GRANVILLE said that steps had been taken to remedy the defect, and the subject was receiving the con sideration of Government. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Lord DONOUGHMORE presented a petition from Brevet-Major Piers, praying for redress of the grievances of which the Indian officers complain. He said that this subject had been before Parliament, having been ven tilated in the other house, and having been also. lately brought under the consideration of their lordships, by petitions having been presented from time to time praying for redress of grievances of a very serious character, which, he contended, should have been investi gated. He drew attention to the fact that the Indian offi cers were not satisfied with the manner in which they had been treated by the Secretary of State for India, and he thought they were entitled to have their case fully in quired into. They complained that the recom mendation of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into their case had been rendered a nullity. He contended that it was a great hardship on an officer of the Indian army, to have him deprived of the opportunity of promotion for two years, as was the case in regard to the petitioners, and other persons who were similarly situated, some of whom had served her Majesty for nearly 40 years.

FOREIGN SALT. Mr. J. TOLLEMACHE asked the President of the Board of Trade the cause of so long a delay in the settle ment of the question as to the terms upon which English salt was to be admitted into France, under the reciprocity treaty between the two countries, and what was the present state of the negotiations thereon ? Mr. M. GIBSON said he believed the salt duty would soon be the subject of legislation in France. THE RESIGNATION OF MR. WILDE. Mr. FERRAND asked the Attorney-General whether it was true that Mr. Henry Sedgwick Wilde, when registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy at Leeds, was called upon by one of the bankruptcy officials, by authority, to resign his offiao, and that he refused to do so ; whether Mr. Wilde was then informed that if he would resign at once and ob tain a medical certificate he should have a pension of .£6OO a year, althoughhe was then in a good state of health; whether he did obtain such medical certificate and resign, and was the pension so promised granted or sanctioned by the Lord Chancellor ; was Mr. Wilde, on his resignation, succeeded by Mr. Welch, who was then in a precarious state of health ; was it arranged that Mr. Welch should hold the office un til the reversal of the outlawry of the Hon. R. Bethell ; and was Mr. R. Bethell's appointment made out after his out lawry was reversed, and did he attend the Bankruptcy Court at Leeds, on or about the 24th Feb. last, and state to officials that he was appointed registrar ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said Mr. Wilde had not been called upon to resign, but had been called upon, in consequence of the report of Mr. Commissioner Ayrton, to account for certain irregularities in his office. Those an swers had not been deemed satisfactory, and Mr. Wilde pleaded ill health. He was then informed by the chief registrar that, as ill health was the cause, he could present a petition praying to be allowed to retire, in accordance with the provisions of the act of 1861. A petition was presented, which was verified by affidavit, and also by a very eminent medical practitioner, that Mr. Wilde was suffering from total loss of sight, and upon that he was allowed to retire upon a pension of £6OO per annum. It was not arranged beforehand that Mr. Wilde was to be succeeded by Mr. Welsh, but that gentleman had been re corded for promotion long before that of the late Sir W. Wharton. The Lord Chancellor, however, had never seen Mr. Welsh before the appointment, so that no ar rangement was made with him respecting his retirement, and no proposal was made to him to that effect. Mr. R. Bethel was never appointed a Registrar in the Leeds Dis trict Bankruptcy Court, and if he attended and stated that he was so appointed, he did it without the sanction or knowledge of the Lord Chancellor. COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS IN INDIA.

Sir C. WOOD said the alteration would take effect in the year 1866. The utmost publicity had been given to the arrangement, as it had been sent for publication to nearly every known channel of information. THE CONFEDERATE STATES. Mr. J. WHITE asked the Frst Lord of the Treasury whether the Government had determined to withdraw its recognition of the belligerent rights of the (so-called) Con federate States of America. Lord PALMERSTON (who, on rising, was received with loud cheers) said the President of the United States had determined to blockade the Southern States in ac cordance with the law of nations. The British Govern ment could have refused to assent to that arrange ment, but as it had been acknowledged, both parties were considered to possess belligerent rights. When that blockade was raised by the. Government of the United States, of course there would be no acknowledgment of bdlligerent rights either on one side or the other. - ___ _ PROMOTIONS IN - INDIA. Mr,IIEYGATE asked the Secretary of State for India whether any return had been furnished by the Madras au thorities in India, showing the effect of the staff corps pro motions on the heutenant-colonels of the local service in that presidency. What had been the effect on these lieut.- colonels by the brevet promotions, which were to remedy the supersession caused by the staff corps warrant ; and, if he would lay upon the table of the house copies of any re presentations from the Government of India, Madras, or Bombay, and from the commanders in chief of the presi dencies respecting army arrangements ordered by the Sec retary of State for India in 1861. _ _ _ Sir C. WOOD said a commission had been appointed to inquire into the whole matter, and he thought it would be butter to let the matter remain for the present. THE BUDGET. ' Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Frst Lord of the Treasury whether, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer had exone rated the officers of the civil service from having divulged his intention as to the budget on a late occasion, such in formation might not have been supplied from some higher source, and if so whether the noble lord could afford any indication of the quarter from which such a communica tion had proceeded. Lord PALMERSTON said he begged to disclaim all responsibility with respect to newspaper prophcies. q• live upon the future as well as the past. If they m Ade guesses which turned out right, why they got all. the credit,• but when they were wrong, they were soon forgotten. (Laughter.) When the time came 'ound for his right hon. friend to make his financial statement the contents of it were as freely known to the - world at large as to his right hon. friend. (Laughter.) Any one of natural sagacity would at once see that with re spect to the fire insurance the Government would have t4a attend to the determination of the house in this matter. Th would also know that with such a surplus, so me p or ti on of it would b e devoted to the reduction of direct and in direct taxation, and he did not think much of the sagacity of the Times newspaper in coming to such a. con clusion. (Laughter.) There could not be any very great credit in anticipating that which was very generally known, as it was quit e o b v i ous that the income tax and tea duty would be dealt with. (Hear, and laughter.) He was quite sure no person in the Government had committed a breach of trust. THE UNION CHARGEABILITY BILL. The adjourned debate on this bill was resumed by Mr. HENLEY, who was [LEFT SPEAKING.] Anglo-French Peace jubilee. ---~--- The Fiftieth Anniversary of Peace between Great Britain and France is to be celebrated by an Anglo- French Working-class Exhibition, to be held at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, commencing on Satur day, July 29, and to hating in the month of October. The productions of the English and French workmen will be exhibited in their own names, and their employers in addition to their own must state the names of the men who have made the articles shown. Clever workmen will thus have an opportunity of obtaining public. recognition of their skill. Prizes will be awarded for excellence of workmanship, and a very highly-finished bronze commemorative medal will be presented to every exhibitor as a souvenir of the peace jubilee. A deputation from the London committee was re ceived with great enthusiasm in Paris; and, at a meeting of delegates from the various trade and co operative associations, held at the offices of the Society of Credit au Travail, a committee was formed who will receive goods from all parts of France and forward them to the Crystal Palace. Space will be granted free, but all goods intended for exhibition must be delivered at the Crystal Palace no later than July 22. The following letter from M. Michel Chevalier has just been received by M. Edmohd Potonie, the Secretary of the French Committee : " Paris, May 4, 1865. " Dear Sir,—l wish to thank not only your father but yourself for the kind reception which you have given upon my recommendation to the English workmen delegates from London. I doubt not, knowing your cordiality, that they have taken away with them very kind remembrances, thus sowing in the two countries the seeds of a reciprocal esteem and mutual sympathy which will be the source of great good, not only to England and France, which in itself would be very precious, but even to the world. For when France and England extend hands, then war, that bane of the human race, ceases to ravage the universe, or at least its ravages have limits. When you have received news of the English delegates, it will oblige me if you will communicate the same. As you have obligingly offered to call upon me, you will be sure to find me at home at 12. " Accept my most distinguished consideration, and be lieve me to bo your affectionate " MICHEL CHEVALIER." THE STRANDING OF THE LOUISIANA, OFFICIAL REPORT. To the Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade. My Lords,—l have held an official investigation into the circumstances attending the stranding of the steamship Louisiana, which took place on the evening of the 12th of April last, during a fog, upon the Old Head of Kinsale. I have been assisted in this inquiry by Captains Harris and Baker as Assessors, and I now beg to forward my report. The Louisiana was an iron screw steamer, built at Jarrow in the year 1862, and was registered at Liverpool in 1864 of the gross tonnage of 2,166 tons. She was owned by the National Steam Shipping Company (Limited), and was commanded by Mr. Abraham Asplet, who holds a certifi cate of competency as master dated in 1855. The Louisiana sailed from Liverpool on the 9th April, with a general cargo, touching at Queenstown to embark passengers, &c. She ar rived at Queenstown on the 12th, and sailed from thence the same afternoon at 4 o'clock, bound for New York, with a crew of 81 hands, and 500 passengers, chiefly emigrants. At 4.30 p.m. the pilot left the ship just outside of Roche's Point, and at 6.35 p.m. the vessel was stranded inside the Bream Rock, to the northward and eastward of the Old Head of Kinsale. From the evidence it would appear that the weather was tolerably clear for a short time after the pilot left, but gradually increased in thickness till six p.m., when the fog became very dense. The engines were then eased to dead slow, and the course, which had been previously S.W. by S., was altered to west, directly towards the land. At half-past 6 a fishing-boat was discovered close under the bows, and the helm was ported to avoid running over her. The man in the boat hailed the ship, but in the confusion the intimation given, whatever it might have been, was not heard. Having cleared the boat, the helm was starboarded to regain her course, and in a very few minutes afterwards the Louisiana struck upon the Old Head of Kinsale. The ship was subse quently backed off, and returned to Queenstown the fol lowing morning after the fog had cleared off. As she had sustained material damage, the passengers: and cargo were transferred to another steamer, and the Louisiana proceeded to Liverpool to be repaired. In commenting upon this casualty, which took place within the short period of two hours after leaving port, ono is struck with the want of common prudence in the Master persisting in hauling the ship to the westward, towards danger, when the fog came. on. He had the whole Irish Channel open to him, and having left port so recently there was no reason whatever for approaching the land. He appears to have been aware that the flood tide was against him, but for that he made no allowance in the courses he shaped after the pilot left. Thus the ship, with her head to the westward, was rapidly horsed towards the land, and although the fog was very dense, and the position of the ship was uncertain, the pre caution of using the load was neglected. The vessel struck at about three quarter flood. Under these circumstances I must hold the master responsible for the stranding of his ship ; and, taking into consideration the number of lives which by his rashness were, jeopardised, I have felt com pelled to suspend Mr. Asplet's certificate for the space of six calendar months from this date, in which sentence my assessors have fully concurred. I have the honour to be, my lords, your most obedient servant, T. S. RAFFLES, Police Magistrate. We concur in this report. Hy' HARRIS, 1- Nautical Assessors. R. B.
