MONEY MARKET AN!‘ COMMERCIAL It: TELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There was a partial expectation that the Bank of England directors would, at their weekly court, this Morning, have reduced the rate of discount to 4 per cent. It is, however, very generally considered that the measure has only been deferred for another Week, because money is much cheaper on the Con tinent, gold is flowing into the vaults of the Bank here, and trade is very inactive. In the course of a Short time the distribution of the Government divi dends will, undoubtedly s increase to a large extent the floating capital of the discount market, and competition will be excited among brokers and bankers for the business brought forward. The enquiry for accommodation to-day has not been large, and the rates have remained at 4i per cent. for the best bills, with exceptional operations at 41 per cent. The Bank of Belgium has reduced its rate of dis count to 31 per cent. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : • 1865. 1864 I Great Western £61,567 £59,524 1 1 North Western 99,178 95,220 E South Western ... 22,031 20,409 Brighton ... 15,529 15,203 Xidland 45,757 44,176 South Eastern 19,266 18,166 Great N or th ern 35,422 31,742 Lancashire and Yorkshire ... 36,302 85,480 Bristol and Exeter ... ... 5,582 5,611 North Eastern 55,916 51,971 kanchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire 17,506 19,959 Great Eastern 28,538 26,834 These returns, when compared with those of the eituilar period of last year, are generally of a very satisfactory character. On the Great Western there is an increase of £2,043 ; on the North Western of £3,958 ; on the South Western of £1,622 ; on the Brighton of £326 ; on the Midland of £1,581; on the South Eastern of £1,100; on the Great Northern of £3,680 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £822 ; on the Bristol and Exeter of £165 ; on the North Eastern of £3,945 ; and on the Great Eastern of £1,704. The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, however, exhibits a decline of £2,453. • Two o'CLocc I I The English Stock Market has been very flat to day, and prices have tended downwards. One cir cUrnstance which has contributed to the heaviness °f quotations has been the announcement of the failure of a broker who, it is believed, has accounts °Pon in nearly every department of the house. Consols, for money, are 89 #, and for the account, 8g 4. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities ate 87k ; Exchequer Bills, 4s. to 6s. prem. ; India 6 per Cents., 104# 105 ; Enfaced 4 per Cents co . and Bonds, 11s. prem. Very little change has occurred in the Foreign Market, and business is rather inactive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 73f f ; do.

Business in the Railway Share Market has re mained very inactive, and the general tendency of Prices has been towards a decline.

OIL COLOURS. This bankrupt, the well-known patentee of printing in oil colours, applied to-day for his order of discharge. The debts and liabilities are stated at £4,800, but it is antici pated that the assets upon realisation will produce a sur plus.—His Honour ruled that•the bankrupt was entitled to his order.—Order accordingly. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE BARROW. This bankrupt was described as a warehouseman in Milk-street, Cheapside. The debts are stated at £lB,OOO, and the deficiency £ls,ooo.—His Honour ordered the case to stand over till April 19. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) STUBBS' TRADE PROTECTION SOCIETY AND ITS SUBSCRIBERS MYERS V. CRAIG. This was an action to recover .£9Bs., for negligence in not taking the necessary steps to recover a dobt due to plaintiff by a person in Chesterfield, whereby the same is now irrecoverable, and is so stated by defendants' local agent. Plaintiff is a tradesman of Southampton, and defendant (for whom Mr. Woollett appeared) manager to Stubbs' Mer cantile Association, 14, Gresham-street. Plaintiff, who is a subscriber to the association, stated that he had a debtor in Chesterfield, and he instructed defendants to collect the debt. There were certain rules to be observed, and plaintiff had forwarded to the office a white ticket and a yellow ticket ; the white ticket was a notice to the society to apply for the debt, and the yellow ticket was a notice to sue. That would be the case in the ordinary course of things, but plaintiff urged that even upon 'the white ticket, under the circumstances, the defen dants should have proceeded. It appeared that the debtor had executed a bill of sale, and in consequence of this the debt was lost. Mr Woollett called one of the clerks in Stubbs's office, who deposed that the yellow ticket had never been for warded. Plaintiff said that he did forward it. His Honour ruled that, upon the evidence of Mr. Spils bury, there was no proof that the yellow ticket had been forwarded to the defendants. Plaintiff would be non suited. Mr. Woollett applied for the costs of a number of w, nesses from the office. Plaintiff thought it was extremely unfair to bring such a lot of persons forward in this case. However, the defen dants would not get much by it, as he should withdraW his subscription. Plaintiff nonsuited with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,— This Day, --4.-- MARL BOROI7GH-S TREE T. ROBBING A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT—SINGULAR OASE. —James Madgwick, lately coachman in the service of Mr. William Vansittart, M.P. for Windsor, residing at No. 27, Dover-street, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a saddle, four bridles, and some other harness and horse clothing, the property of his master. Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and said the prisoner, who had been about three years in the service of Mr. Vansittart as coach man, was lately discharged owing to his giving way to habits of intoxication. After the prisoner was discharged Mr. Vansittart discovered that the prisoner had stolen a quantity of harness, and had been going about to the various tradesmen and ordering goods in his name. He (Mr. Lewis) would proceed with one charge that day, and then asked for a remand. Mr. Vansittart said that on the 15th of this month he discharged the prisoner, who had been three years in his service as coachman, and he afterwards discovered that a great deal of property had been taken away. He after wards went to a public-house kept by Mr. Hayley, in Adams-mews, Grosvenor-square, and asked Mr. Hayley if he had got any harness, and he said he had, and would give it up, and ho dia. so. The harness produced (by Binstead Webb, 112 C) was his property, and bore his crest. George Crook, butler to Mr. Vansittart, said that on Saturday week he saw the prisoner remove some of the harness from the house, but he did not say what be was going to do with it. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the prosecutor said he never, authorised the prisoner to sell the harness. _ _ Mr. Hayley, of the Royal Exchange, Adams-mews, ' Grosvenor-square, said the prisoner, who was a customer, told him that he had some things he wanted him to see and he went with the prisoner to Duke-street, St. James's, where the prisoner showed him some harness and horse clothing, and asked him to take charge of the property. He did so, and on seeing Mr. Vansittart's butler, that person told him not to give them up. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said he did not buy the harness of the prisoner. The prisoner owed him a bill and he thought it would be a security, but not directly Of late the prisoner had behaved like a deranged man, but it was not from drink taken at his house. The prisoner said the harness was his own property, and he had offered to have it done up to be used of nights from a feeling of generosity. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a pity such singular generosity had met such a roward. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis, in asking for a remand, said that Mr. Van sittart's object in giving the prisoner in charge was that the state of his mind might be inquired into. Mr. Tyrwhitt reminded the prisoner. Mr. Vansittart said he did not wish to be hard on the prisoner, as he thought he was deranged. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A — SoN.:-Charles Hopper, a man about 30 years of age, was charged with ill-treating and threatening his parents, respectable people living in the Vauxhall-bridge-road. Mr. Edward Hopper, defendant's father, said that on Monday night last he came to his house at a late hour and demanded admission. He was refused admittance, when he used the most violent threats from which danger was apprehended. Mr. Arnold—What was the reason he was refused ad mittance ? The father—ln consequence of his dissolute drunken habits we refused to let him in. He had previously been forbidden the house. Mr. Arnold --Has he been guilty of any personal violence to you ? The father—Yes, he has, and to his mother and sister also. It is only a week ago that he knocked me down by brute force, and roughly handled his mother and sister. He threw his mother down twice, and our whole family is much alarmed at his conduct. Ho has threatened to smash the whole lot of us. Mr. Arnold —'What is he ? ' The father—He has been in the army, and left after ton years service. He is of no trade. He never would learn any. He was put to a good many things, but would pay no attention, and then went into the army. Defendant—Part of what he says, sir, is true, but great part is not. My mother was ill, and I wanted to see her. The father—H(3las so terrified his mother that she is afraid to see him. Mr. Arnold called upon defendant to find bail to keep Le peace to his family. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TRAVELLER.—Joseph Whiffen, late clerk and traveller to Messrs. Williams and Co., wholesale grocers, of Duncan-street, Whitechapel, was brought up on remand, charged with embezzling upwards of £3OO, the moneys of his employers, which he had received for them and on their account. The prisoner had bean for twelve years in the service of the prosecutors, who had treated him well and paid him liberally. The prisoner absconded a short time since, and he was next heard of at Taunton, in Somersetshire, to which place a detective officer, named Dunaway, No. 11 11, pro ceeded a fortnight ago, and received the prisoner from the Superintendent of police there, by whom the prisoner was arrested. Dunaway mentioned the charge to the prisoner, who said, "Yes, it is quite right ; it has been going on for two years. Let me see the papers taken from me, and then I can tell all my defalcations to a farthing. The officer said your defalcations are above £2OO, to which the prisoner replied no, it is under £2OO. Dunaway now stated that the prosecutors had already dis covered the prisoner had cheated them of £238 4s. 5d., and they had not yet waited on all their customers. The pri soner also said to the officer, what does Mr. Williams say about it ? Dunaway replied, he says you must have the money somewhere, you have had so much money lately that you cannot have got rid of it. The prisoner said its all gone except £2O, which I put into a bank, and you will find a deposit • note at home in a box in my bed-room. I2unaway proceeded to the lodgings of the prisoner, in Rich mond-street, East-street, Walworth, and found in his box a deposit note of the London and County Bank, Lambeth, for £2O, and dated March 10, 1865. The note was produced, and all that the prosecutors will obtain is the amount named on Mr. Edmund Dawes, of 21, Mason-street, Old Kent-road, grocer, proved the payment of £lB 18s. 9d. on Fob. 23, and £l2 13s. 9d. on March 9, to the prisoner. Mr. Charles Knowles, of 1, Redcross-street, grocer, paid the prisoner £37 13s. 10d. a few weeks since. Mr. Williams said the receipts produced were in the pri soner's handwriting, and that the prisoner had not ac counted to him or his partner for the money he had re ceived of the two last witnesses. A fourth payment was about to be proved, when the ma gistrate said three cases were enough, and committed the prisoner for trial. STEALING TIN, The jury found Scatterly guilty, and West not guilty. Several Witnesses gave Scatterly a good character. The Assistant-Judge said the marine-store dealers might ,hink themselves fortunate they were not placed in the dock for receiving stolen goods, and he should refuse to allow them any expenses. He sentenced Scatterly to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for four months. In answer to Captain West, The Assistant-Judge said he did not think there was any imputation whatever against him. AN AMERICAN INVENTION. Frederick Thorneycroft, 29, was indicted for stealing a silver-gilt watch and chain, and the sum of £l4 10s. and upwards, the property and money of William Newman Brake,in a dwelling-house. There was a second indictment against him for stealing two scarf pins, value £6 and up wards, the property of Edward Fryer, in a dwelling-house. The prosecutor in the first case is a surgeon in the Royal Navy. In the month of February last he was staying at the Norfolk Hotel, Norfolk-street, Strand, and on Feb. 24 ho went into his room, and soon fell asleep, and did not awake till about nine o'clock the next morning. He was not sure whether he locked his door, but on the following morning on getting up, he found that his watch, money, and other articles were gone. On the same morning Mr. Fryer, another gentleman lodging at the Norfolk Hotel, found his door handle tried, but no further attempt was made to enter his room, as a light was burning ; but on a previous day he had missed some valuable scarf pins from his dressing-table. At five o'clock on the morning of the 25th the prisoner, who had also been two or three days lodging in the hotel, went away, stating that he had to leave town by an early train. On the Ist of March, Sergeant Ackrell, 15 F, from information which had reached him, went to Ber ners Hotel, Berners-street, and there he found that the pri soner was lodging, and he said he should take him into custody for a robbery at the Norfolk Hotel. To this he re plied that he had only just come from the country, but afterwards admitted that he had been at the Norfolk Hotel. He was then observed by the officer to be fumbling with something by the side of the bed, and on taking hold of his hand found in it the instrument produced, which was known by the name of " American tweezers," and it was used for the purpose of clipping tightly the end of the key which projects beyond the ward, and thus enabled any one to unlock a door from the outside as well as from within. There was no doubt that this instrument enabled the pri soner to unlock the doors, and thus commit these robberies. The instrument had been tried at the Norfolk Hotel, the Berners Hotel, and the Great Northern Hotel, and it would open every lock, even when locked inside, by turning the key The Assistant-Judge remarked that it appeared locking a room door afforded no security whatever. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Assistant-Judge said this was an American inven tion, but he was happy to find that they had intelligence enough in England to detect its use. He should not then pass sentence upon him, and in the meantime, between then and the next session, if he thought fit to give any account of the stolen property, it would be taken into con sideration in the sentence that would be passed upon him. ASSAULT. Peter Keenan, 73, was indicted for an indecent assault upon Mary Ann Daniels. Mr. Collins prosecuted, instructed by the Society for the Protection of Women and Children. The prisoner was found guilty, and The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to 12 months' hard labour. Samuel Dawes, 24 PLUNDERLNG CAB S. , and William Chubb, 27, were indicted for stealing a portmanteau and other articles, value £3O, the property of Arthur Phillip Hawthorne. From the evidence of Mrs. Clow, it appeared that on the night of the 27th of Jannary, at half-past seven o'clock, she saw a cab go along Compton-street, and one of the pri soners got up behind and took off a portmanteau and put it on the pavement. The other prisoner then assisted to carry it, upon which Mrs. Clow went up to them and made a re mark, when they dropped the portmanteau and ran off. Having placed the portmanteau in a place of safety, she went in pursuit of the prisoners, and lost sight of them. She then gave information to the police, and at length Ser geant Ackrell, 13 F, succeeded in apprehending them. Both prisoners were found guilty, and former convic tions having been proved against them, they were sen tenced each to be kept in penal servitude for ten rears. MARKE TS 7 .This Day.

Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Collins appeared for Eng lish, and Mr. Warton for Sullivan. The jury found the prisoners guilty, but recommended them to mercy. The Assistant-Judge sentenced them to be each impri soned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. ROBBERY OF SHIPS' SAILS. Archibald West, captain, and John Scatterly, mate, were indicted for stealing five ships' sails, value £3O, the pro perty of Patrick Coble; from the ship Ann Mitchell, lying in the City Canal. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe defended West ; Scatterly was undefended. It appeared from the evidence that West and Scatterly were respectively captain and mate of the brig Ann Mit chell, lying in the City Canal, until Feb. 24, when they were discharged; and on Saturday, the owner, with Mr. M'Nab, the new master, went on board, and the sails were then all safe. About 4 o'clock the same afternoon Scatterly was on board, and the captain was dressing at the time. There was only a boy named M'Donald besides the captain and Scatterly on board, and Scatterly ordered the boy to go ashore and fetch some gin. He was absent for about 20 minutes, and when he returned he saw a cart alongside the ship with some sails in it. He was then sent to the Isabel, another ship lying some distance off, and told by Scatterly to ask if there was a certain person on board ; and when he went back the cart with the sails was gone. About five o'clock the cart with the sails was taken up to the gate of the East and West India Dock, and as it was then too late to obtain a pass from the captain, Scattarly came up, and he being known as the mate of the vessel, Payne, the constable, allowed them to pass out of the gates. These sails were sold to a marine store dealer named John Hillyer, of No. 4, Victoria-place, West India-road, for £3, and they were subsequently sold to another marine-store dealer for £5. The only fact to connect the captain with this transaction was, that he was on board at the time the sails' were taken away, and that he must have been aware that the sails were being taken away.

BREA.X.FAST BEVERAGE. — homCelpathia practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doe trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country there were to be obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied is the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homeeopathio Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pare in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakiast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Ilassal, in his work, "Food and its Adulteratiois," says -"Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." &gain: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined alb., fib., and 11b. labelled packets, and soil by all grocers, confectioners, and chemists. - Dn.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

In taking her preliminary canter the last named unhorsed her rider, and ran into the town, but was brought back, and shortly after joined her horses at the post. Upwards of half an hour was lost before Mr. M'George could get them in anything like order. At last an opportunity presented itself, and they left the starter, widely spread, Proserpine, on the inside, having slightly the best of it, the favourite lying on the right, on the outside of whom were Tinder, Life Guardsman, Ele Ole, Harriet, and Jessamine, the others lying close in their wake. The leading division retained their relative positions to the distance, where Custance brought up the favourite, and in the next few strides he headed Proserpine and came on with a clear lead, which he increased as he came along, and won in a canter by three lengths; Variety finished a bad third a length in ad vance of Ele Ole, Sweet Anne, Life Guardsman, Cynthia colt, Jessamine, and Tinder, who finished abreast.

Nu went to the front immediately the flag was lowered, and made the running, closely attended by Buckfoot, Gib raltar, and Stanton, Joe Maley lying last. As they pro ceeded up the hill, Buckfoot joined his stable companion, the pair running together to the mile post, where the latter took a clear lead, the pair being upwards of half a dozen lengths in advance of the favourite, close at whose girths came Stanton. At their.Y.C. post, Gibraltar and Stanton drew towards the leaders, who, as they approached the bend into the straight, were beaten, leaving Gibraltar pos session of the lead, which he retained to within the distance, where Stanton got to his head, the pair run ning locked together to the enclosure, where Stanton, getting his head in front, won very easily at last by three lengths.

The Subscription Rooms to-day were again thinly at tended, and the only noteworthy features of the business were the "knocking out" of Grinder for the Northampton shire Stakes, and the further decline of Breadalbane for the Two Thousand Guineas. Nothing was done on the Derby. Closing prices : - - - A continuance of the winter weather produced a smaller attendance, but the sport was of a better order. The Two- Year-Old Stakes brought out a large field of candidates for future fame, among them Qui Vive and Proserpina the most conspicuous, though Alberta, a slashing King Tom filly with fine action, found many admirers. After a delay of five and thirty minutes they got off, and the first hundred yards decided the issue of tho race, the favourite Qui Vive getting quickly on his legs, and, with the exception of Proserpine, who kept up with him for a short distance, literally running away from his field. The Great War wickshire Handicap only had five starters, and Stanton, reversing her yesterday's running, defeated old Gibraltar after a race between the two from the entrance of the straight by three lengths. The snow had been threaten ing all the morning came on heavily just previous to the race for the Union Hunt Cup, and it was with some diffi culty the colours of the jockeys could be made out from the Stand. It was won with great ease by the favourite, Little Goy. Princess Dagmar bolted with her rider, Murray, before the Selling Race, and, jumping a gate at the bottom of the course, flung him heavily.

THE DEFENCES OF CANADA, [RELTTER'S EXPRESS.] QUEBEC,March 10. The news that £50,000 has been recommended to be voted by the Imperial Parliament for the defences of Quebec has been very ill received here. Mr. J. A. Macdonald stated in the house that there must be a mistake in the figures, and that £500,000 doubtless is intended. Upon the Hon. Mr. Moore inquiring of the Government if the fortifications recommended by Colonel Jervois to be built at a cost of £1,343,000 were to be erected, and what proportion of the cost would fall on Canada ? Sir E. T. Tache replied that he hoped all neces sary fortifications would be built ; but, as the mat ter was now the subject of negotiation between the Imperial Government and that of Canada, he could not say how much Canada would be expected to pay.

The Agra and Masterman's Bank Bill was read a second time. REMOVAL OF' THE CARTOONS FROM THE HAMPTON COURT PALACE. Lord ST. LEONARDS asked for some information on this subject. Earl GRANVILLE said that he would be happy to afford information on the subject, but he thought a notice hiooet atnrttkit)hohe—snne, of the question should be laid on the table previous to its being asked. g e h t s eenst — d ,wot people hhealievntae host il e a l m. THE RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH THE UNITED STATES. Earl RUSSELL laid on the table a letter which he had received from Mr. Adams, giving the requisite 12 months' notice of the United States' intention to discontinue the Reciprocity Treaty with this country. Mr. Adams stated that he was commanded by President Lincoln that this notice would take effect 12 months after the date of the delivery of that notice. \ He regretted that anything should occur which would disturb the amicable relations b b between w i t e en couldt hi thiscountryotbe denieda n d the tha United fromu ite d theSt h a ib ea t iet ou p f l nat senti mentsichte ee, United States. acr were t h pee e asni ti speeches e,3fn oienfc ou r s e tudhr t es h bey a l that hak h eep a rs d oe r tb :w i n oe o t nn i u l l od d t fe notice had elapsed. He defended the conduct of the Go vernment with regard to the Trent affair, and the other subjects of difference with the United States. In regard to the Alabama and other vessels fitted out in this coun try, it was not a matter of surprise that the inhabitants of the United States should feel some apprehension in refe rence to the sending out of these vessels, but he did not think that what had taken place in respect to this subject would have justified this country merely in behalf of a firm in which the dignity of the country was not involved. The Government had sent to the United States a nobleman who had done all in his power to inspire friendly feelings to this country consistent with maintaining the interests and upholding the dignity of Hngland, He alluded to Lord Lyons, and he expressed his regre . t that the country should be deprived his most valuable services. (Hear, hear.) But in his unavoidable absence the Government had done all in their power to remedy his loss by the appoinment of Mr. Bruce, to w h ose merits he was happy to bear his personal testimony. That gentleman had succeeded in winning the good feelm • gs of the Chinese without surrendering any of the dignity that was due to his country, as the representa tive of the Sovereign. He trusted that that gentleman would be equally successful in the United States and that any apprehension of hostilities between the two couutrles would be evaded. _ . PRIVATE BILL COSTS BILL. Lord HOUGHTON moved the second reading of this bill, which after some discussion was agreed to. The Felony and Misdemeanour Bill went through com mittee. The Consolidated Fund (X 175,650) Bill was read a second • time. The report of the amendments on tho Election Petitions (1848) Amendment Bill was agreed to. The Dublin International Exhibiton (1856) Bill was read a second time. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed:— Great Eastern Railway (Somersham to Ramsey), Ilfra combo Railway, London and South-Western Railway (N Lines :in Surrey), and Merthyr Tydfil Local Board Health. LIGHTHOUSES. Mr. J. EWART moved for a copy of all correspondence with memorials to the Board of Trade, the Corporation of the Trinity House, and the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses, on the subect of placing a light at Langness, in the Isle of Man.—Ordered. POOR RATES. Mr. lIENLEY moved for a return as respects the year ended at Lady-day, 1864, of the following particulars, namely, the gross estimated rental of property rated to the poor rate in each parish in England and Wales ; the rateable value of the same property ; the amount expended during the year for the relief of the poor; and the rate in the pound of such expenditure on the gross estimated rental and the rateable value respectively, with the averages of each union (in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 491, of session 1861.)—Ordered. BATHS AND WASHHOUSES. Mr. TAYLOR moved for an address for return of all places wherein the Baths and Washouses Acts have been adopted, with the date of such adoption, and the expense incurred in the execution thereof, and the total amount raised from or on security of rates on account thereof.— Ordered. TESTS AT OXFORD. Lord R. CECIL said when the motion for the second reading of the bill for the abolition of tests at Oxford was before the house he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. FLOGGING IN WORKHOUSES. Mr. SCULLY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to ' certain returns lately presented to this house, showing that 1,138 persons (not being soldiers or sailors) of vari ous ages, from six to sixty-three, have been recently flogged in England and Wales, receiving from 50 to GO lashes, in many instances, by the order of only one magis trate, and frequently for very petty offences or acts of mis conduct. Sir G. GREY said he had seen the return, but it ex tended over a series of years. The punishment was in flicted under the Juvenile Offenders Act, 11th Vic., chap. 82. There had been punishment inflicted by one magis trate, but then he was a stipendiary. He believed it was usual for two magistrates to sign the order. • MISCONDUCT IN PRISONS. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any report was made to Go vernment of all the cases of flogging in prisons, by order of magistrates, for offences committed out of prison, and also for misconduct in prison, without publicity beinggiven of the offences charged, the evidence in support of the charges, the punishment ordered, the ages of the offenders, the number of lashes inflicted in each case, and other par ticulars ; and, if no such report was made, whether it was his, intention to adopt measures to put an end to secret flogging in prisons without a public trial. Sir G. GREY said no record of punishment inflicted on females was kept, but with regard to males a very exact one was kept. It was open to the prison inspectors, and in the event of any irregularity it was his duty to make a report to the proper quarter. Mr. FOSTER asked particularly with respect to the case of punishment inflicted on a child six years old. It had only, he believed, been inflicted as late as June last. Sir G. GREY said he would make inquiries, and lay the whole of the particulars on the table of the house. CHURCH AT NAZARETH. Mr. HANBURY asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether instructions had been given to her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Constantinople to apply for a firma; without which the Rev. Mr. Zellar is unable to build a church at Nazareth. Mr. LAYARD said instructions had been sent out, and a firman, he believed, had been applied for, but no answer to the application had yet been received. RIVER THAMES. Mr. D. DAMER asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he was aware that at a sho t distance be low Hampton Court Palace there was last summer hardly four feet of water in the River Thames at the deepest part, and that when the waterworks near Kingston were pump ing the river ceased to flow over the weir at Teddington during the period of such pumping; whether any of th e sewage of Kingston fl ows ultimately into the Thames above Teddington weir ; and whether he was aware that there were three water companies alone at Hampton, each of which draw off 12 millions of ga ll ons d a i ly, and have power to increase the amount to 60 millions, when the in creased population shall require it. Mr. W. COWPER said it was true that on a particular day there was not more than four feet of water at the part mentioned, but it was a very shallow part of the river, and the river had never ceased to flow over the weirs at Teddington. With respect to the sewage at Kingston, falling into the Thames, steps had been taken in the Court of Chancery to prevent a continuation of it ; and as to the water companies, persons were appointed to see that they did not take more water than they were empowered to do by Act of Parliament. THE WELLINGTON MEMORIAL. Sir M. FARQUHAR asked the Chief Commissioner of Works what progress, if any, had been made towards tho completion of the memorial to the late Duke of Wellington in St. Paul's Cathedral? Mr. W. COWPER said Mr. Stevens had not yet com pleted his model, and he had frequently:remonstrated with him at the delay. He could not state when the model would be ready. NEW ZEALAND. In reply to Mr. KEKEWI CII , The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was quite true the commanding officers of the various corps in New Zea land had preferred claims to the proceeds arising from the sale of lands captured from the enemy ; but it was not thought expedient to comply with their demands. Land taken possession of by troops could not be looked upon as so much prize money. POOR LAWS In reply to Mr. FERIIAND, —• Mr. VILLIERS said it was quite true that serious charges had been made against the master of the work house of the Wycombe Union, of undue severity towards the boys, and still worse conduct towards the girls. An in quiry had been made into the matter, and tha master had been called on to resign his appointment, which had been done. With respect to the pzpsecution of the master that rested with the guardians and not the Poor-law Board. If it was decided to prosecute the man nothing had been done that would prejudice such a proceeding. The Poor-law Board had nothing to do with prosecutions, and they did not propose to institute such a proceeding. NEW ZEALAND In reply to General PEEL, , The Marquis of HARTINGTON said tho despatch of General Cameron, with respect to the propriety of remov ing from New Zealand any portion of the troops, would be laid on the table with the other papers. NORTH AMERICAN COLONIES. Lord R. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for the Co lonies whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to leave to the several North American colonies full discretion whether they would or would not join in the new scheme for a confederation ; or whether they in tended to ask Parliament to adopt any compulsory mea sure for enforcing it upon those who may be adverse to it. Mr. CARD WELL said they had no other information than that which had already been communicated to the house. THE SAFFRON-HILL MURDER. In reply to Mr. ROEBUCK, Sir G. GREY said it had been decided to try Pelizzoni for the minor offence of stabbing. He would then have the opportunity of having Mogul examined, and he hoped such a course would lead to a satisfactory result. I LEFT SITTING. I SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This day.

Mary Bibby, who was convicted at the Man chester assizes, on Monday, of the manslaughter of her was on Tuesday sentenced to fift een months ' hard labour.chil d , RESPITE OF THE 'CONVICT POTTER.—TWO of the commissioners appointed by her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department to examine into and cer tify to the mental condition of the murderer, James Potter, arrived at the County gaol, Derby, yesterday morning, and shortly afterwards visited Potter's cell. They examined the Rev. E. W. Foley, the chaplain, and other officers of the pi icon. The governor of the prison has received an official letter from Sir George Grey, intimating that her Majesty has been pleased to order the respite of Potter for seven days, solely to afford time for the commissioners to in quire into the state of the prisoner's mind. ESCAPED 'PRISONERS.—nvo young men, named respectively Michael Brennan, 18, and Walter Walker, 20, were convicted before Mr. Justice Shee, at the Manchester Assizes on Tuesday, and sentenced each to seven years' penal servitude. After the sentence they were removed to a cell underneath the court, as usual in such cases, and locked up to await removal. But when the door was subsequently opened, it was discovered that both the prisoners had escaped. An investigation and proper in quiry appear to have established the following as the way in which the culprits attained their liberty, which has not yet been interfered with :—There was a trap-door for ven tilation at the top of the cell, which is on the ground floor of the assize courts, and it is supposed that one of the pri soners was lifted up to this ventilator by the other, and then drew his companion after him. From thence they passed under the gallery of the Crown Court till they got into the blowing-room connected with the ventilating ap paratus of the court, where they would find a ladder. They found the blowing-room door locked, but there was an aperture over it, and through this they made their way, dragging the ladder with them into the air-chamber. This brought them to the front of the building, and, by means of the ladder, they readily reached one of the large apertures under the grand entrance of the court to tho west. Through this they would have easy egress into the open air. They were not dressed in the prison dress. 101 f 1 Q 1 102 i 0 4j lt2i 2 Si i 6 93 9L2 I r'•• 4 : 1 r k
